I know it's a lot.

Itisa lot.

- June like you planned?

Or august.

Well, blair and i didn't want

- sighs]

besides, look, i hear you and

- My cousin are getting married in

- couple of weeks, and, you

- Know, weddings are expensive,

- Brah -- so are wives.

Look, preston, if this is

- Your way of trying to make up

- For intimidating my client out

- Of suing clarion candy last

- Year --

oh, please, stop, stop, stop.

- Don't be ridiculous, all right?

- Your case was weak, okay?

- And -- and -- and what?

- You thought i would come in here

- And do something nice for you,

- Like out of the goodness of my

- Heart?

- Look, blair, the truth is, i got

- Way more clients than i could

- Possibly handle, all right?

- And you've got... none.

Truth is, preston, you can

- Leave.

All right, blair, look, look.

- Stop. Okay.

- Need your help, all right?

- Got a lot of sensitive cases

- Coming up, and, you know,

- Honestly, i could use a good

- Lawyer.

- And you know, as much as this

- Pains me to say, you're one of

- The best.

- And, again...

- You're broke.

I got a few delinquent

- Accounts, but...

- sighs]

- What kind of clients are you

- Talking about?

- Uncle duck, man, i really

- Appreciate you coming over, man.

Well, you know, i am your --

- Your best man.

Yeah, you are.

So, the wedding's happening

- At, uh, at christmas.

Yeah. Christmas wedding --

- Three weeks.

All right, congratulations.

No.

No?

I-i mean, yes.

- Look, uncle duck, i-i cannot

- Wait to be marci's husband.

- [[[Chuckles]

it's just -- look, man, with

- Christmas coming and the

- Wedding, marci's selling her

- Place and moving down here.

- And since we're getting married

- For christmas now and this place

- Has been a little rundown -- and

- "ve been meaning to fix it up.

- Just haven't got around to it.

- And you know marci, and i can

- Tell that she is not really keen

- On living here, so i was gonna

- Surprise her with some

- Renovations.

- But renovations cost a lot of

- Money.

- Then preston offered me a job to

- Come work for him, and the money

- Would be good.

- But i just don't understand how

- M gonna get all this done in

- The next three weeks!

- Oh, my god, uncle duck.

- Just want to marry marci!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Preston offered you a job?

Yeah.

And what did you say?

I told him i was gonna think

- About it.

And have you told marci?

No.

Oh, boy.

- Ohh.

- You gonna decorate that tree

- Before marci gets here?

- Nothing a chandler woman hates

- More than a naked christmas

- Tree.

Uncle duck, what am i gonna

- Do?

Well, first thing you're

- Gonna do is pull yourself

- Together and be happy, 'cause in

- Three weeks, you're gonna marry

- The girl of your dreams.

- And next, you're gonna call

- Preston.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm. And you're gonna name

- Your price, 'cause if he wants

- You to work for him -- look, he

- Needs you.

- Trust me.

- And he will pay.

Mm-hmm. Nope.

- M calling it all off.

And after that, you're gonna

- Call marci and tell her you're

- Working for the cousin she

- Despises, loathes, and abhors.

- [[[Sighs]

but what the heck?

- While you're doing all of that,

- You're gonna get this place in

- Tip-top shape with the help of

- Good old uncle duck.

Unc, i really appreciate it,

- But... this is a lot of work for

- Two guys.

Well, can you afford

- Contractors?

- Uh-huh.

Right.

Right.

Anything else?

Mm-hmm, one more thing --

- You want to put some clothes on

- That naked tree?

- [[[Sighs]

- doorbell rings]

- "deck the halls" plays]

you are kidding.

- It's not that i am not happy to

- See you.

- - -- I-i'm ecstatic that

- You're here, really.

- It's just that you can't just

- Pop in, you know, whenever,

- Because my sisters are in and

- Out all the time this time of

- Year.

I-i understand that.

- [[[Chuckles]

Yeah, you know, i'm not

- Really sure because my sisters

- Have all kinds of traditions

- And --

oh, i-i love family

- Traditions.

That's great.

- [[[Chuckles]

but, you know, it's gonna be

- Tricky, you know?

Stephanie, why are you trying

Me?

- M not trying to hide you.

- Mean, if you think that i have

- An issue with the age

- Difference -- i mean, age only

- Matters with wine and cheese,

- You know?

Well, i've never met any of

- Your friends.

- "Ve never met your family.

- Every time we go out in public,

- You're always looking over your

- Shoulder, like you're part of

- The witness protection program.

- And every time i try to talk

- About our future, you change the

- Subject.

Want some more tea?

- [[[Chuckles]

- Steph, are you trying to break

- Up with me 'cause you don't want

- To buy me anything for

- Christmas?

- [[[Laughing] no, stop.

- [[[Chuckles]

- Stephanie, i'm -- i'm not trying

- To pressure you, but... i really

- Want to be a part of your life.

- Me.

Okay.

- cellist.

- Is that okay?

- Awesome. Okay, great.

- Hi there.

- Yeah, i'm gonna need the

- Powerpoint presentation in

- Black-and-white throughout, and

- It will be really great if i

- Could get, like, a little yellow

- Flower on the corner of every

- Table -- i'm sorry --

- On the corner of everypage.

- Okay.

- Perfect.

- Hey, you.

- Yeah, no, the brooch is actually

- christmas present for my

- Mother.

- The candy should go to the

- Friendly family floral.

- Awesome. Thanks, ashley.

- Okay.

- Cellphone taps lightly]

- All right, so, when can we list?

- Laughter]

that's so funny.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

- Laughter]

okay, we picked the tree out.

Uh-huh.

And we set the tree up.

- And now we're decorating the

- Tree.

- Mean, did we lose the bet

- Again this year and somebody

- Didn't tell me?

Honey, you know...

yeah, and donald -- he's --

- He's with blair.

- They're doing something nice.

And that is why i say that we

- Need more men in this family.

You know what?

- This tree is perfection!

Unh-unh, stephanie.

- That's not what you said when i

- Showed it to you the first time.

- You said it was not "full"

- Enough.

But you were standing in

- Front of it.

- Couldn't see the whole thing.

- [[[Scoffs]

i'm just saying.

Oh, girls, you know what?

Huh?

It's just like old times,

- Isn't it?

Yeah.

- Speaking of old... some of these

- Ornaments are just about as old

- As you are, myra.

You better stop it.

- Both laugh]

oh, my goodness.

Huh?

Do you remember this one?

- Mother gave this to me when i

- Was 3 years old.

What? No.

- Mother gave this to me when i

- Was 5.

Unh-unh. You're both wrong.

- Mom gave that to me, her

- Favorite child --moi-- when

- was 7 years old.

Oh, unh-unh.

- See, a lot has changed since we

- Were 3, 5, and 9.

Speak for yourself.

But you know what?

- We're still spending christmas

- Together...

yes, we are.

- ......just like we promised.

- And we haven't missed one yet.

- Am i right about it?

And we're not going to miss

- One, right?

You got that right, girl.

Group hug.

Oh!

Love you!

I love you!

Okay, now, let's get back to

- Decorating this tree.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, myra!

- Festive music plays]

- music ends]

oh, blair.

- Have a seat.

Thank you.

So...

- sniffles]

- When do you want to start?

Hold on, preston.

- There's one big issue that we

- Have not resolved yet.

- It seems to me that you're in a

- Bit of a lurch and you really

- Need my help.

Mm.

It also seems to me that you

- Have a really big caseload that

- You're trying to dump on me.

- Now, with that being the case, i

- Think it's time that we talk

- Dollars.

- Now, i've done pro bono work in

- The past, but that was by

- Choice.

- There isn't a firm in atlanta

- That won't pay handsomely for

- My...

- mid-tempo music plays]

- ...services.

- [[[Smacks lips]

- When do you want to start?

- Music ends]

so, as you can see,

- Jewel advertising will go above

- And beyond to meet the needs of

- Friendly family floral in a

- Cost-efficient, creative, and

- Groundbreaking manner.

Ditch this display.

Oh.

You're a go-getter, aren't

- You?

Well, i think to think that i

- Am, yes.

I like that in a woman.

Oh.

I like your ideas, too.

Thank you. Well --

but you realize that

- Advertising is a male-dominated

- Industry?

I do realize that.

In fact, the other agency

- That i'm considering is run by a

- Man.

Oh.

He's good, but he's not a

- Woman.

Oh.

I like to see women in

- Leadership roles, women who --

- Oh! -- Don't have to answer to a

- Man.

Oh.

I say, let the man answer to

- The woman.

Right on, sister.

- Yeah.

You're hired.

Oh, well, thank you.

- Thank you so much.

How soon can you get started?

Uh, right away, actually.

Excellent.

- "Ll have my attorneys draw up

- All of the paperwork, and then

- We're gonna schedule a series of

- Meetings over the next couple of

- Weeks and --

well, when i said "right

- Away,"i meant"right away after

- Christmas."

Christmas.

Well, yes, i actually have to

- Leave for atlanta next week, and

- While i'm there, um, i'm getting

- Married.

Oho! Okay.

- Was never one to get married,

- But congratulations.

- Best wishes.

- Blah, blah, blah.

- So, i guess we'll just set

- Everything up when you get back

- To new york.

Or we could do it while i'm

- In atlanta.

- You know, e-mail, skype --

- Modern technology -- it's like

- Being there.

Not really. Mnh.

- But if we must.

- All right, i'll have the

- Paperwork to you in a few days.

Okay, great.

- Listen, i'll look forward to

- Getting --

uh-huh. Bye-bye.

Okay. Thank you.

- Mm-hmm. Ciao.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

So, preston gave me a week to

- Formally accept his offer.

So?

And i ain't gonna lie --

- The money's good.

- [[[Chuckles]

and when i say "good," i mean

- "fantastic."

Okay, so, what's the problem?

Well, the problem is, it's

- Preston.

- Do you remember how he tricked

- Marci last year to -- to

- Represent clarion candy, knowing

- They were in hot water?

Yeah.

Yeah. And how he got my

- Client to drop the lawsuit

- Against him by using his little

- Henchmen to scare all the other

- Employees out of joining the

- Suit.

Yeah. So what?

- He plays hardball.

It's not just that, duck --

- He tries to belittle people,

- Tries to make them feel

- Inferior.

No one can ever make you feel

- Inferior without your consent.

- Mm.

Did you just make that up?

No.

Who said it -- gandhi, mlk?

Eleanor roosevelt.

- Yeah.

Okay.

- Like i was saying, i just don't

- Think i can do it.

- Don't know if i can bow down

- To another man like that.

Mm, too much pride, huh?

- Would always rather be happy

- Than dignified...

- "jane eyre," charlotte bronte.

Okay.

- Like i saying, was i just don't

- Want to feel like a sellout, you

- Know?

Come on, blair.

- You're not a sellout -- you're

- Making a smart business move and

- Making money.

Yeah, well, mo money

- Mo problems.

Hmm?

Notorious b.i.g.

hmm?

Biggie.

- Anyway...

- It's...

- It's everything to me.

Yeah, that's sweet.

I mean, unless you got

- Another reason why you want to

- Live in new york.

No.

Okay.

I mean... this is it.

- You are my reason.

- And if it makes you happy, then

- It makes me twice as happy.

Good.

It's perfect.

- Gonna be honest with you, fiona.

- Um, my fiancé has gone to a lot

- Of trouble to renovate his

- Parents' home here in atlanta,

- And -- and it would mean a lot

- To him -- actually, it means a

- Lot to me, also.

So let me get this

- Straight -- you're gonna give up

- What you want for your fiancé?

Well, not for him -- forus.

- That's what a relationship is

- All about, fiona.

- But, i mean, i also understand

- If that means that i'm not the

- Right person for you.

Oh, quiet, girl.

- Look, i'm not gonna change my

- Mind about wanting somebody

- In-house, but i'll allow you to

- Partner with that other firm --

- You know, the one whose creative

- Work i liked better than yours?

- You can partner with them while

- You stay in atlanta and play

- House with hubby.

- But your retainer goes back to

- The original amount.

Okay, that -- that -- that's

- Perfect.

- That's fine.

- Thank you, fiona.

- At the wedding.

- Whispering indistinctly]

- Because you look like a woman

- Who has a secret, and i want to

- Know what it is.

- Indistinct conversation]

okay, come here.

- Come on.

- So, the other day, i get a phone

- Call.

I get the feeling marci

- Thinks i'm strapped for cash.

Youarestrapped for cash.

But i don't want her thinking

- That.

- Mean, look, she keeps talking

- To me about moving to new york

- And s-saving on repairs.

So now you have to tell

- Marci.

More importantly, i got to

- Take that job with preston.

Uh-oh!

Are you crazy?!

- You can't tell blair about adam.

I know i can't.

- That's what i just said.

Do i need to remind you that

- This is the same man who came

- Here last year and tried to come

- Between you and blair?

No kidding.

And he tried to steal your

- Company.

You think i don't know that?

Okay, so, what you need to do

- Is just hold off on signing the

- Contract until you have a chance

- To talk to -- to blair about it

- And make sure everything's okay.

No, i can't do that.

- Can't hold off on signing the

- Contract.

Okay, well, sign the

- Contract, and then talk to him

- And tell him about the deal.

Can't do that, either.

- [[[Sighs]

- Well, go in there and just tell

- Him right now.

- Fine.

- Have the answer -- you figure

- This out for yourself.

Wow, elizabeth, you've been

- Really helpful.

I know.

- [[[Sighs]

- grunts]

- footsteps]

- Hey.

Preston.

Your office will be ready

- Soon, but, uh, in the meantime,

- It's pretty cushy, huh?

It's not bad -- not bad at

- All, preston.

I know, blair. I know.

- Oh! Mm.

- Meant to, uh, tell you

- Something.

- Want to introduce you to, um,

- My office manager/personal

- Assistant/you -- you know.

- Um, she's a point of contact if

- You have any problems, okay?

- Now, you can always come to me,

- But [scoffs] i'd rather you

- Didn't.

- Um, baby?

- Mean...

- grunts]

- Yes.

Well, hello, blair.

Charlene, what are you doing

- Here?

Well, the same reason as you,

- Blair.

- One.

Mmm.

So, are you two...

blair, we need you to go

- Through these cases and set up

- Timelines by the end of the day.

- Lawsuits with the biggest

- Payoffs should be ranked

- Accordingly.

Mm.

That means we do those first.

Absolutely. Cha-ching.

As a matter of fact, i did,

- Along with every other number,

- But i only kept one.

Who checked you out?

I'm about to be a married

- Man.

Wow. I'd love to see the

- Woman who finally got you to

- Settle.

Oh, you'll meet her.

I hope so.

Yeah.

Excuse me one moment.

- Excuse me.

Yeah.

What are you doing with my

- Stuff?

Oh, girl, is this your bag?

Yes.

You know, i bought one just

- Like this like tuesday -- just

- Like it.

- It's -- same...

okay, well, it's not yours.

- Footsteps]

you know, if i would have

- Known you were coming, i would

- Have invited more of my

- Ex-girlfriends and really gave

- You a show.

Listen, i just needed to make

- Sure that you were not a

- Two-timer, okay?

I get it.

- You love your mother, and you

- Don't want to see her get hurt.

- But that makes two of us.

- [[[Sighs]

do you want to talk about it?

Yeah.

Look, a year ago, if somebody

- Would have told me i'd be

- Engaged [chuckles] let alone to

- woman 20 years older than me,

- probably would have called

- Them crazy or on drugs, but your

- Mother, she just -- she reeled

- Me in, marci... you know,

- Unlike any other woman.

- And she makes me a better

- Person.

- Just hope that i can do the

- Same for her.

Well, time will tell, won't

- It?

Yeah, i guess it will.

- So, do i have your blessing?

- [[[Chuckling] does it matter?

Not really.

- Chuckles]

you know, you're -- you're,

- Um, you're a really good dancer.

- And i'm happy for you -- real

- Happy.

- Chuckles]

- Could never repay you.

Oh, come on.

- You know there's nothing i love

- More than a little handyman

- Work.

- [[[Chuckles]

- Not just that -- just being

- There for me.

- It means a lot to me.

Well, your father was a fine

- Man, blair, and he raised you to

- Be just like him.

- Let me tell you something -- i'm

- Gonna be proud to stand up there

- Next to you tomorrow while

- You're marrying marci -- real

- Proud.

- There is just one thing you

- Tomorrow -- perhaps the most

- Important tomorrow of your life,

- Honey.

Mm.

You know, honey, people used

- To tease me all the time about

- Me wanting you to get married.

- [[[Chuckles]

and it was -- it was more

- Than your just finding a man,

- The big, fat engagement ring,

- The wedding.

Yeah.

It was about you finding

- Love...

mm.

- ......real love, the kind of

- Love that keeps you up at night

- And keeps a smile on your face

- All day long...

- The kind of love your daddy and

- had.

- Music continues]

yeah.

- Clicks tongue]

- found that, mom.

I love you.

- Sniffles]

- Your ring is fabulous.

It is kind of fabulous.

- Both laugh]

you are so silly.

- And in 24 minutes, it will be

- Our wedding day.

- [[[Chuckles] i know.

- Can you believe it?

- Oh!

Yes and no.

- "Yes" is because i've always

- Loved you.

- And "no" because i didn't think

- You would love me until last

- Year.

We wasted so much time.

I don't want you to think of

- It that way.

- Mean, i always knew that we

- Were meant to be together -- it

- Just wasn't up to us to decide

- When and where it was gonna

- Happen.

Yeah.

- Know.

- But just think -- all the

- Memories we could have made if

- We had just...

all the new memories we're

- Gonna make.

- Marci, the past doesn't

- Matter -- only now, only

- Tomorrow.

Yeah. Me too.

- Hey, why don't you turn that

- Phone around and give me a tour

- Of my future home?

Oh, look at the time.

- And it's almost midnight.

- Isn't there some kind of rule

- That you're not supposed to see

- The bride before the -- the

- Wedding?

Oh, my goodness, yes, yes.

- Okay.

- Love you.

- Will see you tomorrow.

It's a date.

- Sweet dreams, beautiful.

Okay, love you.

- Of all days, i couldn't look her

- In the eye and -- and know i

- Hadn't told her the truth.

I know. I know, man.

i need to talk to you.

I need to talk to you, too.

- Come in.

No, you go first.

Okay.

- You know i do a lot of pro bono

- Work, right?

You do.

Well, that's what i've been

- Doing the past few months, and

- My -- my firm has taken a hit

- Financially.

- "Ve exhausted most of my

- Savings with the house and --

well, i tried to tell you.

I know.

- Just let me finish.

Okay.

With the wedding and all the

- Other expenses, that pretty much

- Tapped me out.

- Another lawyer came on...

- [[[sighs]

- ......and gave me an offer i

- Couldn't refuse.

Okay.

I signed with preston, marci.

Preston -- preston, my slimy,

- Conniving, "tried to ruin my

- Life and my career and -- and --

- And -- and my reputation"

- Cousin preston --thatpreston?

That's the one.

Really, blair?

- How could you do this?

- You were gonna work with preston

- Without telling me, blair?

Baby, i needed the money.

How could you?

I needed the money.

If you needed the money, you

- Should have came to me and said

- Something!

- We could have worked through

- That together.

- That's what this is all about --

- Together.

Baby, i know --

we don't start a relationship

- Together on a lie or betrayal.

- That's not how this works.

It wasn't lying!

But that's what you did!

I-i was doing what i had to

- Do, babe!

Really?

- My contract alone could have

- Supported the two of us.

- You didn't have to go work for

- Preston.

What contract?

That's what i was gonna tell

- You.

- You remember that floral

- Contract?

Yeah.

Well, okay, i got that.

Okay.

There were just a few details

- That needed to be worked out.

- She wanted me to come to

- New york, and i --

ah, ah, ah, ah. New york?

Yes.

So, that's what you've been

- Trying to get me to move to

- New york for.

Well, i mean, i wanted us to

- Go live in new york, but you

- Told me about your -- your

- Parents' home and how important

- That was, and so, no.

So you didn't sign the

- Contract?

Well, i-i said no to new y--

- She -- there's a firm, a partner

- Firm...

okay.

- ......that -- uh, they were

- Gonna do the creative in

- New york, and i was gonna stay

- Here...

in atlanta.

- ......and work.

Yes.

So, what's the problem?

The firm is adam's.

Adam.

Yes, adam.

Adam reed?

Adam reed.

The same little snake that

- Almost came between us last

- Year?

- [[[Sighs] i'm sorry, blair.

How can you work with him?

But you're working for

- Preston!

Oh, so you mean to tell me

- Working for preston is like you

- Working with adam?!

I don't know! Is it?!

- You lied to me!

I didnotlie to you!

You did -- you didn't tell me

- The truth!

- Lie is a lie, right?

- We're basically starting all of

- This based on a lie!

No.

I'm so glad i didn't sell

- That loft.

- Oh, i'm so glad!

Wait a minute.

- You didn't sell the loft?

- So, this whole time, you've been

- Playing me?

That's not --

you never intended to move to

- My parents' house, did you?!

Keep your voice down.

I'm not keeping my voice

- Down, marci!

That is not what i meant.

That is exactly what you

- Meant!

- And i'm glad we had this little

- Chat, because i don't want to be

- Married to a woman...

keep your voice --

- ......that does not trust me,

- And let alone can't be trusted!

What in the world is going on

- In here?!

- You could hear both of you out

- In the sanctuary!

Oh, my god.

- The both of you need to calm

- Down.

Hey, what's wrong?

Oh, my goodness.

- The people are arriving.

- And -- and this wedding is gonna

- Start in less than an hour.

- [[[Sniffles]

oh. Oh, my god.

- My baby, what's wrong?

- [[[Crying]

what's wrong, sweet?

I don't think there's gonna

- Be a wedding.

No.

Yes, there is.

No, no.

There will be no wedding.

No.

Oh, wait.

There's gonna be a wedding.

- Planned the wedding.

- There is going to be a wedding.

Marci, marci.

Oh, god.

What's the matter?

You know marci.

Yeah. Yeah, i-i-i know marci,

- And i know you.

- You're supposed to be getting

- Married.

No, there ain't gonna be no

- Wedding, duck.

Oh, come on, blair.

- Come on.

- Not -- not now.

All right, let's have a seat.

I don't really --

sit down.

- [[[Sighs]

sit down.

Mnh.

Marci...

- You said, "i've always dreamed

- Of a man like blair -- actually,

- Blairisthe man i always

- Dreamed of."

- You said that just last night.

- And, blair, you said, "marci,

- "ve always loved you."

- You said that last year on

- Bended knee when you proposed to

- My daughter -- yes, you did, and

- You meant it.

- And now the two of you want to

- Sit here like simpletons and

- Pretend that those words and

- Those feelings don't matter.

- And why?

- Because both of you were willing

- To swallow your pride and work

- For people you detest to help

- Each other out.

- Now, did you go about it the

- Right way?

- No, you did not.

- But i see love written all over

- Those actions.

- See it. We all see it.

- Now, let me tell you something,

- All right?

- Life is short...

- And love is everything.

- It's not to be toyed with or

- Taken for granted.

- Why do you think you've taken so

- Long to get married?

- Because you wanted to be sure --

- You wanted to be sure that you

- Found the one.

- And now you're just gonna throw

- It away -- is that it?

- [[[Sniffles]

- feel like an idiot.

I do, too.

So, do you still want to get

- Married?

- [[[Sighs]

- sniffles]

- crying] i do.

- Sniffles]

- love you.

I love you.

- [[[Sobs]

- Wedding.

- Would i be if i didn't take my

- Own advice?

- You're an amazing man.

- Much love to give, and you

- Deserve to receive that love

- Back.

But... you can't give it back?

I...

- [[[sighs]

But you shouldn't be.

You know...

- You.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

- You know, it's actually

- Refreshing.

- Chuckling] you know, i never

- Thought that i could love just

- One woman, and let alone be hurt

- By one.

- So, you know...

- Feels good to know that i can

- Experience that kind of pain,

- That kind of love.

Me too.

- You've made me a lot braver,

- Taken away that veil.

So, i guess this was good,

- After all.

- All.
