Steppin' into the Holiday (2022) - full transcript

I'm sorry things are a little
crazy right now, but...

please tell me we're good.

For the show, yeah.

Beyond that, I don't know.

All right, that's a wrap
on season ten

of "Celebrity Dance Off."
Great job, everyone.

Let's hear it for my
amazing co-host, Joanna.

Thank you, everyone.

I'll meet you outside
in just a minute, Billy.

Nice job today, nice job.
Hey, great work, everyone.

Great work. Bravo.



Fantastic show.
Now get some rest.

All right, Christmas special
rehearsal start on Monday.

Wayne, my man!

Terrific show tonight, huh?

Mr. Holiday,
what else would we expect

from the most talented man
in all of television?

Not half of television...
All of television.

That's very nice, Wayne,
but you don't

have to say stuff
like that to me.

Actually, I do.

It's an executive mandate
to suck up.

Anyways, um...

the network has been talking,

and I wanted to give you
a little heads up.



Oh, yeah,
I heard the brass might

want to make some changes
next season.

Love it. Great idea.
Keep it fresh.

What if we do all live shows?
Nothing like that energy.

Yeah, well, that's changey
but not change.

And not exactly what
the network has in mind.

Billy, can I be honest with you?

- I certainly hope so.
- Right.

Ever since you and Joanna
broke up,

the two of you
aren't working anymore.

The audience doesn't like
the split,

the chemistry isn't there,
and look at the ratings.

Not as good as when you guys
were America's sweethearts.

I can never get that whistle
into the bomb thing.

Anyway, they want you two
to get back together.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

Yeah, that's what I thought
you'd say.

So what exactly
are you trying to say, Wayne?

What are they gonna do, fire us?

Wait... wait, are they firing us?

No, no, no, no.
They would never fire Joanna.

Just you.
What?

We can't get rid of Joanna
right now!

Individually, she's doing great.

People love them some J-Gar.

And look at her ratings.
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

And the social media followings.

They're following Billy.
They're really following good.

So you're just
getting rid of me?

Totally.
But not in a bad way.

How not in a bad way?

I don't know why I said that.

I guess I'm just
a people pleaser.

You can't do this.

This is my show!

I created it!

I produce it, I host it!

I'm on all the friggin' posters.

Keep up that fire, Billy.

That's gonna serve you well
in landing your next gig.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe this.

Fine, fine, fine.

I'm just gonna
concentrate and pour all my

energy into
the Christmas special.

Ooh...

that makes this next part
much harder to say.

Now what?

Are you canceling
the Christmas special too?

No, we can't do that.

Well, then what?

Think of it as a re-casting.

Hi.

I guess you heard.

Joanna.
Evidently you heard first.

Shall we?

Billy Holiday.

God bless the child
that's got his own.

Breaking news you will
only see here.

"Access Hollywood" has confirmed

that "Celebrity Dance Off" host

and executive producer
Billy Holiday

is leaving the show
after 10 years.

Sources reveal that the
former dancer will also be

replaced on the network's
annual Christmas special.

In an exclusive statement,

the network tells
"Access Hollywood,"

"Billy has left to pursue
other exciting opportunities."

Hi, mijo, it's mom.

Just wanted to call and see
if you were doing okay.

I know you're not busy,
so call me back.

Love you.

Yes, of course I can hold.

- Got more tinsel.
- Oh, great.

Hey, did you see the news?

Billy Holiday got fired.

Who?

Pheebs, he's the most famous
person to come out of Garnet.

Mom's best
dance student like, ever?

He was the host of that
"Celebrity Dance Off" show.

Oh, right, right,
with the dimples, yeah.

Yeah. It's a shame.

He was always so sweet.

You know, Mom said he had
that X factor even as a kid.

Well, now he's an ex-host.

Hi, yes.

You will? Oh!

Thank you, Mr. Kelsey. Bye-bye.

Okay, get this...
Until Christmas,

Kelsey's Barbershop
is going to be giving

half price haircuts to every
customer that buys a pair

of tickets to the dance recital.

Same arrangement
at Ramos Brothers Garage.

Well, for oil changes,
not haircuts.

Make sense.
I was worried.

So all the money for the recital

is going towards
that trip, right?

Yeah.

I'm gonna take
the kids to New York.

Broadway, of course.

Of course.

Where are you
with fundraising again?

Uh, not exactly where I thought

I would be at this point, but

there's still two weeks left
and people are

always more giving
at Christmas time, right?

Your optimism is definitely
from a gene that I didn't get.

You know, we can
always call Mom and Dad

and see if they have
any advice...

Don't even suggest it.

Okay, they've been planning
that retirement cruise

for years, plus,

this is my first year
running the studio.

I kinda want to prove
to myself that I can do it.

I'll follow your lead then.

Thanks.
That bake sale, though.

Now that is gonna bring in
a lot of dough.

Pun intended.

How much are you
charging for each cookie?

Uh, $1.

Yeah, that'll do it.

Listen, I will donate
five Christmas berry pies

from the diner
for the bake sale.

Fine, ten pies.

It's almost Christmas.

11?

Don't push it.

Oh, shoot.

I've got Intro to Tap
in five minutes.

Let's get this tree
decorated quickly.

You might need
a little insurance.

Here.
Make a wish on the big guy.

Need all the help I can get.

Okay.

Let's do this, Santa.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Hey, Dallas.

Hello, "Gull-yermo."

Its Guillermo... whatever.

Only my mom calls me that.

Well, good, because I'm feeling

very maternal towards you today.

I don't want you
to wallow in this

pig-pen situation, you hear me?

Put it in storage.

It's not the end of the world.

In fact,
I just got off the phone

with an offer for you
to be the grand marshal

of the Christmas parade.

Yes, that's what
I'm talking about.

I love the Hollywood
Christmas parade.

I can totally use that
right now.

Yeah, it's Pacoima.

I'm sorry, did you say Pacoima?

Yeah, that's where
the parade is.

You know, I always thought
that there was a Y in Pacoima.

How great
of a slogan would that be?

There's no Y in Pacoima,
but there could be a U.

Well, I don't care how you
spell it, it's not gonna be me.

Okay, good.
Then we'll put a pin in it.

Now what you got popping
on your end?

You getting any interest?

Only from my mom.

She wants me to come home
for the holidays.

You know what,
that's a great idea.

That is the perfect place
to lay low.

I didn't see Pacoima
as a fit, either.

I'm glad we're on the same page.

- We are?
- Yeah.

Look, at the end of the day,
we take a break,

we let people miss you,
and then we circle back.

How's that sound?
Until then,

I want you
to keep that chiseled chin up.

You hear me, handsome pants?

Shakira says hi!

There you go, Rae,
the first Winter Mint

Choco Fantasia drink
of the season.

Thank you. My favorite.

Mmm.

Heaven.

How come we only
make these at Christmas time?

Well, because nobody
but you likes it.

- Miss H.
- Hey, Junior.

What's up, buddy?
I got some news.

Uh, uh. Let me guess.

You've been practicing
that shuffle step combination

for the recital, right?

Well, there's
a shuffle step in it.

Mm-hmm.

It's another dance
for your followers.

Okay.

But how about you start
working on the show

that you're actually in.

Smash that subscribe button.

More hits, more followers,
more peeps

coming to this show
to see all of us.

I'm telling you, it's a win-win.

The recital's
in less than two weeks.

I need all hands on deck.
So I hope you're ready.

I was born ready.
But that wasn't my news.

Here's my news.

My tío's coming in time
for the show.

And he's gonna stay
for Christmas.

Billy Holiday
is coming back to Garnet?

Ooh.

Yeah, okay, I will add him
to the list of VIP seats.

Yeah, we just heard
that he got...

Uh, it's been a while
since your uncle's

been back in town, right?

Yup, he's always busy
doing his Christmas special.

But not this year.

He's on his way here right now.

It's going to be
a great Christmas.

I can already feel it.

Ah, my own personal valet.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

I work for the city.

Just trying to make sure
to keep the riffraff

like you off the streets.

Hey, where's the car at?

This ain't LA.

I walked here.
We're walking home.

Let me get that.
I can carry that.

Oh.
Did you want this?

Here. There you go.

Oh, God! Oh, hey!
Ow! Watch the wig!

Watch the hair...
All right, tap, tap.

Good to have you home,
little brother.

Things never change.

It's good to see you.

You know, Junior missed you.

Mom too.
Not me, you know, I'm fine.

Hey, you okay talking
about the thing?

It's okay.
You can talk about it.

Okay, 'cause everybody
was talking about it.

You know, they're
taking applications

down at the firehouse.

I'm senior EMT these days,

and don't know how dire

your situation is,
but just know I got pull.

Thank you, Marissa, but...

I think I'm gonna
lay low for a while.

You sure?

I mean, Laying low
was never your thing.

Well, maybe it's time I learned.

Feels good to be home.

Oh, Junior is gonna be
so excited to see you.

Me too.

Now, give me that bag.
We've got to pick up the pace.

Mom's got some cookies for me.

All right.

Keep it locked in. Yep.

Hey.

Take five, guys.

- Hey!
- Tío, I knew you'd come!

Hey, Mom.
You look good in there,

buddy, nice, man.

- So good to see you.
- It's good to see you too.

This is my dance teacher,
Miss H.

Miss H, this is Tío.

Well, I'm not Tío.

I mean, I'm... I'm his tío,
but... it's Billy.

Hi. Rae.

We've actually met before.

My mom used to run
this dance studio.

- Oh, Miss Tilly is your mom?
- Yeah.

Oh, that's right, and you
had a sister too, right?

I still do.

Uh, but yeah,
when my mom retired,

I took over the studio.

Nice, nice, and now my nephew

is taking dance
at the same place I did.

Yeah, but I'm bringing moves
you never seen before.

Okay, okay.

Well, dance does run
in our family.

Oh, look out.
Don't hurt 'em.

Ha, still got it.

Let's hope it's not contagious.

Hey.

You guys are
a very talented family.

Hey, thank you for putting
away the props after class.

But I didn't.

I know. You can now.

When you're famous, people
do stuff like that for you.

Right, Tío?

Go.

I got over 100 views
on my last post.

I'm fame adjacent.

Okay.

Hey, how's everything
with school going?

Oh, he's got one more test,
you know.

Winter break's this week,

and I do have a call
in a couple of days

to just check his progress
for the semester.

Okay, well, if there's
anything I can do to help,

please just let me know.

If he needs some
extra study time,

I can always cut back
on rehearsals for him.

Wait, is Junior not doing
too well in school right now?

It's just that, you know,
he's more motivated to become

famous and less concerned
about what might happen

if his dream doesn't pan out.

Hey, come here a sec.

Listen, let me be
a cautionary tale, all right?

You always gotta have a plan B.

Both: Balance on stage,
balance in life.

That's my next class.

I'm... I'm... I'm sure I'll be
seeing you around.

Yeah, and hey,
if you ever want to come by

and watch Junior practice,
feel free.

Thanks, I may take you up
on that.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, girls.

I'm... I'm sure I'll see
you around.

I missed you.

- Me too, buddy.
- Come on, let's go.

- Can you get the bag?
- Yeah.

All right, let's go.

You look tired and hungry.

Why's your hair so flat, mijo?

You're right, Mom,
I am tired and hungry.

I gave my hair the day off.

Hey, Ma.

Billy's fine talking
about being canned.

Oh, great.

Did she tell you about the
job opening at the firehouse?

Yeah, she did, but...

Oh, it could be so much fun.

You slide down poles
and hang off trucks.

Way to sell it, Mom.

You slide down poles.

Um, so what's the deal
with Joanna?

Any chance things
might rekindle?

No, no. No, no, no.

Never thought she'd end up
with custody of the show.

Yeah.

Anyway, enough about me.
How you doing, Marissa?

Oh, we're good, I'm good.

Y'know, Mom still watches
Junior when I work late nights.

Still single as ever,
so that's fun.

But, uh... well, you know,
we come over for dinner

as often as we can.

Well, she is a much
better cook than you.

Uh, she's a better cook
than anyone.

True.

Oh, um, did she tell you
her Christmas wish?

Oh, well, my Christmas wish
is for all of you to stay here

in my house
for the whole holiday.

So I sleep on the couch
and Marissa...

No, you and Marissa
have your old room,

Junior takes the guest room.

I'm not sharing our old room
with my grown-up sister.

We're too old for that.
No, you are not.

My house, my rules,
my Christmas wish.

I already tried, bro.

Wow, we haven't shared
a room since I was...

Oh, this age?

Hey, wrestle you for the bed
closest the bathroom.

No, I'm good.

I don't feel like getting
choked out right now.

What, Hollywood made you soft?

Oh, one sec.

Don't you need to study?

I will.

I just want
to post this real quick.

Dancers need to be smart too.

Nana, dancers don't
even go to college.

Ah, not true.
One of the best dancers ever,

Gene Kelly, graduated
with a degree in economics

from the University
of Pittsburgh.

Fine. Hey, Tío.

My handle is JSteps.

Check the link to my bio
on my profile.

You're 12,
how long a bio could it be?

180 characters.

Got to be all about
that content, tú sabes.

When Miss H takes us
to New York,

I'ma do a dance in Times
Square that will blow up.

New York.

That's right...
All of our money from our

recital is going towards
Miss H. taking us to Broadway.

She wants us to experience what
she felt when she danced there.

She danced on Broadway?

- Mm-hmm.
- Nice.

But till then, study.

Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't finish my TikTok!

Come on, no!

I think I'm gonna need
to move the recital

to a bigger space.

Maybe that'll
sell some more tickets.

Move it from the studio?

Maybe. I gotta think
of something, though.

Maybe you should ask
Mr. Holiday if he

has a spare Hollywood studio.

Yeah, if only.

I saw him today.

He came by to see Junior
at the studio.

Really?

Was he snobby? Plastic?

I bet those dimples are fake.

You can't fake dimples, Pheebs.

But no, he was, uh,

he was genuine, kind.

No.

First of all, those dimples
are only in town for two weeks.

Second of all, I probably
won't even see him again.

I'm sure he's busy
doing family stuff.

Yeah, but everyone's got to eat.

Hi, takeout order
for Hernandez, please.

- Almost ready.
- Really? No warning?

Hello again.

Hi.

Rae's Egg and Onion.

Rae's Rueben.
Rae's Bread Pudding.

Lemme guess, this your diner?

No, it's mine. I own it.

That's my sister Phoebe.

Nice to meet you,
Mr. Hollywood.

It's Mr. Holiday,
but nice to meet you too.

I like what you've done
with the place.

What was this before,
a laundromat?

No, it was the gas station.

Oh, that's right.
Oh, man, how did I forget?

I'm sure it's easy to forget

when you've been gone
for so long.

You know, I was gone
for five years,

and even then, when I came
back, it felt so different.

Oh, yeah, Junior said
something about Broadway?

I'm gonna go
check on your order.

Hernandez, dinner for four.

Yeah, I was a dancer
in New York for a while.

The moment I went
and stood in Times Square

and was able to see
those dancers on stage,

I was hooked.

Yep. The dancing bug.

Once it gets in your blood,
you're in it for life.

Yeah.

So why'd you leave?

Hurry home before it
gets cold, Mr. Hollywood.

Story for another time.

I look forward to it.

Hey, it's Joanna Garagiola,
and I want to remind you guys

to please tune in to the best
Christmas special ever.

I promise it is
going to be holiday-licious.

Yeah, I'm gonna be
skipping that this year.

By the way, I may take you up
on that visit to dance studio.

Yeah, anytime.

Hey, Billy.
Yeah?

Don't forget your food.

Thanks.

Don't.

I didn't say anything.

I like being back home, Mom.

The town may feel different,
but the people,

they feel the same.

Ah, the old Christmas tree farm.

I'm always here for you, Guillermo.

Except when I'm in yoga class.

Downward dog takes a quick
minute for me to get back up.

Thanks for the visual, Mom.

Let's find us a tree.

You remember that Christmas Eve
barn shows, Mom?

With the big red curtain
and that gold tassel?

Oh, yes!

One of the greatest
Garnet holiday traditions.

You know, they stopped
doing that show a while ago.

From the looks of it,

that's the last time
this barn got any love.

Definitely looks like
it's seen better days.

Well, at least we have
the memories.

Hey, come on.

♪ Peace and joy
around the world ♪

♪ For every boy and girl ♪

All right.

♪ Turn on the lights ♪

Keep it tight, guys.

♪ 'Cause it's the season
for togetherness ♪

Perfect.

They're good.

Because they have
a pretty teacher.

♪ The smell of spice
and all things nice ♪

♪ Here comes the fun ♪

Hey!

Okay.

Thank you.

So that was a little preview

of our holiday dance recital.

Now this show is free,
but donations

are strongly appreciated.

We've got a long way
to get these kids

to New York,
so every little bit helps.

Hey, that was smooth, Jun, nice.

Thanks for coming, Tío, Grandma.

But if she let me
do my JSteps originals,

we'd need buckets
to take in that cash haul.

Hey, Junior.

I'll see you later, Tío.

- Hi.
- Ah, we meet again.

Hey, I got a mani-pedi at three,

should I expect you there?

My claws are a little ragged.

Hey, you know my mom?
Of course.

Everyone knows your mom.

- I'm Garnet famous, mijo.
- Excuse me.

So you're taking the kids
to New York, huh?

Yeah, I'm trying.

I don't like to live
with "what if's."

- "What if's."
- Yeah, you know,

what if I went for it?

What if I really tried?

You know, what if...
I get it.

That's cool.

So I was just asking my mom,

what's the deal
with the old barn?

Well, let me tell you.

They used to do
the Christmas show

back in the day in there.
You remember that.

Oh, of course.
I was in a few of 'em.

My senior year in high school,
I did a solo

that your mom
choreographed for me.

Oh, I know that
because three years later,

I stole your dance.
Oh!

But at some point,
the barn became unsafe,

and they stopped doing shows.

I heard there's a bunch of props

and costumes back there, though.

Buried like treasure.
Really?

Yeah, just no one's brave
enough to dig them out.

I heard you say you're not
where you want to be

with donations
and recital tickets.

Yeah, that's true.

Well, then maybe we shouldn't
be afraid of an old barn.

Just a thought, but what if
you updated the recital a bit

and incorporated the past more?

Maybe I'm off here,
but there's something that's

still intriguing
about this old barn, right?

There's something unsafe
and decrepit about the barn,

but, um, sure.
What are you thinking?

I don't know yet, but...

let me sleep on it
and let it marinate.

Catch up tomorrow?

Marinate away.

Guillermo!

- Thanks, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God.

My first tap shoes.

You kept 'em?

A good mom saves
almost everything.

I wanted to show them to you.

And this...

You see that smile?

Your dad was bursting
with happy.

So proud.

It was after your first
dance recital

at the old barn Christmas show.

Wow.

Oh, mijo.

Watching you dance
was so wonderful.

And the joy it brought you.
Dad and I loved it.

Yeah, I loved it too.

Really miss him
this time of year.

Me too, mijo.

Me too.

But you know,
it is never too late

to pick up an old habit.

Come on. Come on, mijo.

♪ Jingle bells,
jingle bells ♪

♪ Jingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh ♪

♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way ♪

Hey, what's up, little man?

Tío, seriously?
You ruined a perfect take.

So make the next take
better than perfect.

What part of your geography exam

involves doing the renegade
and the dolphin?

When I'm famous like you,
I can hire someone

to tell me where
the countries are.

But if you're not famous,
it might be a good idea

to know where Pacoima is.

What's a Pacoima?

It's a nice little city
right outside of LA that needs

a grand marshal
for the Christmas parade.

So now that I know what
a Pacoima is,

can I get back to it?

Look, my point is,
do your homework

or Pacoima is
not gonna want you.

There's gonna be time
for all this later.

Believe me.

Hey, Junior, how's the studying?

Good. It's going good.

All right.

- Ah, thanks.
- Wait, wait, wait.

I can't, Pheebs,
I had to schedule

extra rehearsals today
for the recital.

You know this is my crazy time.

So you want me
to throw away your very

favorite special shake
that I made for you?

Okay, okay,
I can take just a few minutes.

Thank you.

So tell me about the bake sale.

It was really good.
We sold a bunch of stuff,

especially your pies.

The kids are doing great
at their dances.

Billy Holiday was there.
Um, thank you,

by the way, for the...
Wait, go back.

- We sold a lot of your pies?
- No, the Mr. Holiday part.

What was he doing there?

I don't know, probably
supporting his nephew

who was dancing
in the show and buying a tree?

He didn't have any other agenda?

Phoebe, please don't make
something out of nothing.

Okay, look, he is very nice.

It's just not on my radar.

But he did say something, though,

about the recital and not
being afraid of the old barn.

What?

He said he wanted
to talk about later.

I think later has come.

What?

Uh... I'll have
what she's having, please.

How do you know you'll like it?

'Cause you won't.

Let's just say I'm adventurous.

One Winter Mint
Choco Fantasia drink

coming right up.

Enjoy.
Thank you

So did you, uh,

dream about that creaky barn?

Kinda.

You ready for my pitch?

Hit me.

Okay.

So I think you should consider

getting the community involved
in the recital.

Yeah, I know.
I've been trying.

We did the... the bake sale,

and then we have the carwash
on Tuesday...

No, no, no, no.
Yes, you've been doing great.

I mean, more involved involved.

When I was doing "Dance Off,"
I used to have a say-so

on the props and the design
and the production,

and it gave me a sense of pride
that I was a part of something.

We don't really have
the same budget as "Dance Off."

I know.
But you don't need to.

Remember when we were talking
about the old barn shows

and that Christmas feeling?

Maybe that's what's missing.

Well, you saw the barn,
it's a disaster.

You said there was
a bunch of old props

and costumes in there, right?

Yeah, but they've
probably been eaten

by who knows what,
or disintegrated into dust.

I do like the idea, though,
of honoring the old tradition

and giving it new life.

So why don't we throw on
a couple hazmat suits,

get in there, and then
we can make a decision?

"We?"

Well, being that
I'm recently unemployed,

I do have some extra time
on my hands.

And what kind of uncle
would I be

if I didn't help my nephew
get to New York?

I... I guess I could use the help.

Oh.

Sorry, I have rehearsal.

Um...

let's get started right away.

When can you be at the barn
to figure things out?

Tomorrow morning?

Yeah. That's perfect.

- Yeah. See you then.
- Bye.

Yeah, I'm good.

We're just gonna go to the barn

and see if there's anything
that might help her.

What? I didn't say anything.

Even when you're not
saying anything,

you're saying something.

Well, I think it's great.

And I know that Rae

will be really excited
that you're gonna help.

It's purely a work relationship.

Percentages.

Seriously, we're doing this?

Yep, we're doing this.

Gigi McIntosh...

60% because you liked her,

and 40% because you wanted
to go see Guns N' Roses

and she had an extra ticket.

80% because making shows
happen is what I do

and 20% because Rae and I
have a lot in common.

- Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh what?

20% is not a lot.

Try to tell me that
when I'm tipping at dinner.

Percentages don't lie.

What are the percentages
of you shutting up?

Oh, you forget how well
I know you.

Good night, little brother.

It's strictly business!

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Did you just change?

'Cause you came in here
after teaching in dance gear.

Well, yeah,
'cause I had just taught dance.

And where are you going now?

I am going to the... the old barn

at the Christmas tree farm.

What lucky old barn
to get to see your

favorite Christmas sweater.

Well, I'm... actually,
I'm meeting Billy there

to discuss adding some elements
to the... to the show.

Okay, there it is.

No, there it isn't.

You know what?

Bye.

Way too cute for the old barn,

and way too cute
for Mr. Hollywood.

It's Mr. Holiday!

Hey.

Hey. Oh, you look nice.

I think I've only seen you
in dance clothes until now.

Oh. Uh, thanks.

I'm sure I'll be covered
from head to toe

in dust in about five minutes.

Right, the buried treasure.

Shall we?

Yeah.

Oh, man,

you weren't lying
about this place being dirty.

Genius move to wear
the white shirt, huh?

Well, I did warn you.

Hey, remember these?

Oh, yeah,
we should clean them up

and use them for the show.

I mean, I'd use all of this
if I could.

Maybe not that.

Yeah.

We have to make sure not to be
just old school,

'cause we're gonna have
parents, grandparents,

and their social
media-obsessed kids.

Yeah, a little ring-a-ding
with some bling.

Christmas then, Christmas now.

Ooh, that's good title.

I always start with a phrase
or an image that inspires me.

Last year
for the Christmas special,

I started with this Sinatra

sort of "Home for
the Holiday" vibe

Ancient history now, though.

Yeah, but now you're, you know,

helping with the recital,
and in a way,

we're kind of creating
our own holiday show, right?

That's a good way to look at it.

Hey, these are pretty cool,
by the way.

Oh, man, super dirty, though.
Dang it.

I've got some rags
and a paper towel in the car.

I'll be right back.

That felt good.

It looked good.

It looked really good.

I didn't know you still danced.

I don't.

You know what?

This is a great space.

It is. I...

I think you should do
the recital here.

I mean, think about it.

You've got more room
for the audience,

and... and more room
for the dancers,

and all the tickets
you could sell.

We don't have enough time.

I mean, it's a great idea,

but this place is a mess.
No, no, no.

We can just give it
a few coats of paint, and a...

And, like, a proper backdrop,
a few well-placed lights.

I totally see it.

I mean, I...

I could probably get permission
to do the improvement.

Yes, there you go.

And we can get
the community involved.

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

No what if's, right?

Exactly.

Oh.

Here you go.

Ah, my favorite drink.
Thank you.

Infused with chocolate,
mint, and holiday spirit.

It's good for us.
Mm. Salut.

All right, so I have news.

Strings officially pulled.

The barn is ours to use
and renovate.

That was fast.
How'd you pull that off?

I teach the mayor's
granddaughter jazz, so.

He's kind of on our side.

Nice.

Mm.

But now we need a floor
people won't fall through

and a roof that actually works
as a roof.

We should start outsourcing.

Yeah, I can recruit some people.

What about you?
How about Marissa?

- Perfect.
- Yeah,

all her friends
are firefighters.

They love helping people.

That's what they do.

So you think just 'cause
we're all EMTs and firefighters

that we're gonna help you
with this thing?

Uh, yeah.

Of course we will.

It's what we do.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Yeah...

Is everything okay?

I...

It's just...

sometimes, this single mom
thing is hard.

You want to talk about it?

- Well, I got a...
- Yo, Tío!

I'm officially on winter break.

You want to join me
for a little step sesh?

I got moves, I got flair,
I got...

You've got
some explaining to do.

I got a call from your teacher
this afternoon.

She said you got a D
on your geography test,

and you weren't even trying.

She thinks it's best if you
retake geography next semester.

No, I can't!

I talked her into letting you
retake the test this Friday.

Now, I know it's winter break,

but this is the last chance
you have at this.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

I hate this, but for now,

I gotta pull you
from the recital.

- No!
- Mom!

Sorry.

Tío, tell her
she's being unfair...

I'm not telling her
she's being anything

except a great mom.

You are studying
this winter break.

Go.

So it pretty much needs
a whole new paint job,

a brand new barn door,
and inside's a hot mess.

Huh.

You really got your
soft hands full, huh?

I got it... floor, the roof,
whatever you need.

Consider it
my Christmas present.

- Hey...
- To Rae, of course,

not you.
Well then, I won't thank you.

Just stick
to your stuff on stage,

and me and the guys
at the station,

we got the rest.

Oh, and Junior will hang out...

And study.

I'll keep an eye out on him.

Hey, guys, thank you so much.
Yes.

It's definitely been
a labor of love.

I love this town.

Everyone's always
willing to help.

This place brings me
my maximum joy.

Maximum joy.

I like that.

Okay, so can I see the progress?

We're almost finished
working on the inside,

but there's still this
Christmas light thing

that I want to try.

Maybe I could show you

the finished product
later tonight?

I have dance rehearsals
until 6:00 with the kids.

Wanna meet me here afterward?

Yeah, that's great.

See you then.
All right.

Thanks, guys.

You guys are making me
look good.

Nice.

So what do you think?

Billy, this is...

this is amazing.

Nice little holiday touch.

With a lot of help from
the Garnet Fire Department.

I'm glad you stayed off
the ladder.

Yeah, me too.

Shall we?

This is so sweet.

Ooh, that looks good.

What is it?

My mom's famous chile relleno.

Mmm.

Thank you.

I needed this.

Oh, and the record player.

I love it.

Little holiday music
to set the mood.

You know, um, earlier today,

I heard a fireman singing

while he was helping
with the lights, and...

my guy had an incredible voice.

And I was just thinking...

this guy's just out here
putting out fires,

hiding that killer voice.

Yeah. It's crazy.

The mayor, although long-winded,

is a very talented poet,

and the florist,
she's a comedienne.

I mean, there is so much talent
in this town.

It's a shame we can't showcase
everyone for the recital.

Can we showcase this town
in the recital?

Why can't we?

Are we totally
transforming this recital

into something
even more awesome?

Kinda sounds like
we're holding auditions.

Recital and a talent show together.

Thank you for doing this
with me.

Oh, don't thank me.

This is fun.

Salut.

Everybody wants to audition

for the local boy who made good.

Hey, guys.

How you doing, hello.

Jun.

What's the latest
with the re-test, buddy?

Just a couple of days to study,

then I'll be ready for it.

I'll know by Friday
if I'm back on the show.

You got this, mijo.

I'm really proud of you, Junior.

It's like with dance...
If you put in the work,

you'll see the reward.

That's right.

All right, the judges chair.

Where you belong.

It's been a while.

How's it feel?

Pretty good, actually.

Good.

All right.

I'm just so surprise
how the town showed up.

- They're good people.
- Yeah.

What about you?

What about me?

Should I add you to the lineup?

No, no, no, no, no.

That's not me anymore.

I saw you dancing,
and it definitely is you.

And believe me, you're...

You're really good.

Not good enough to keep
a show on the air.

Their loss, our gain.

Look, we got a lot
to go over right here,

so why don't... why don't
we talk about it later, huh?

Okay.

Whenever you're ready.

So I think your dancers

can just come through the aisle
like this.

And then they take the stage,

and all the parents
can see them all up close.

That's fabulous.

I'm not sure
where we put the band yet,

but I do know I need to get
a demo from those guys

'cause they have a unique sound,

and I think they can blow up.

Well, maybe in their mind,
they already have.

You know, they play their music,

they have their families,
they live in a place they love.

They might love other places,
too, you never know.

Like you said, you never
want to go through life

with what if's.

There's a difference between
wanting to make it

and not being able to,

and consciously choosing
to value

other parts of your life
above making it big.

Both choices are okay.

Ah, Guillermo!

Something's on your mind.

Oh, dear, you shouldn't worry.

That wrinkle on your forehead
is only gonna get deeper.

Here.

Mom, let me ask you something.

Were you upset when I left?

I was excited.

I missed you, but...

I knew you were doing
what you loved.

Which is great, right?

Yes.
Of course...

things were different
without you.

I know I couldn't always
make it home for Christmas

because of my specials, but I
did come home when I could.

Yes. Absolutely.

A day or two.

After Christmas.

Whenever you could spare it.

Ah, we were so proud of you, mijo.

We still are.

What's all this about?

I think I was so busy

and just so focused on my goals,

I just prioritized things
differently, but...

being back here I realize

this place and this family,

it's a big part
of my maximum joy.

Maximum joy? What's this?

I'm still trying
to figure that out.

I do know, when I go back,

I'm gonna schedule a lot
more trips to come home.

To see you.

That would be my maximum joy.

All this talent,

and you're not even gonna be
in the show.

You know I'm a behind
the scenes guy now, right?

Well, that's on you, though.

I know everybody
would be excited for you

to be on stage again.

Please.

You don't have to be
perfect, Billy.

Why y'all up
in my business right now?

Maybe 'cause it's easier
than being in mine.

I just...
I want you to remember that,

at your core,

you're this guy.

Not that guy.

I'm not sure I recognize
either one of them.

You're not Mr. Holiday here.

You just have to be Billy.

And if that means that you want
to dance for fun,

then dance for fun!

And if that also means

that you are falling for a woman

who doesn't have a publicist?

Then fall.

You haven't been sharing this
with other people, have you?

No, no. No one.
Was just...

So I hear you're dating
my teacher?

I'm not dating anyone.

And she's nice, too, mijo.

Seriously?

I got a big mouth.

All right, you guys,
you gotta go,

because Billy needs to get
his beauty sleep.

So out, out, out, out.
Oh, okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

Leave the cookies.

And the hot chocolate.

Thank you.

For...

the reminder.

You're welcome.

Now, if you would just
stop being such a wimp

and tell her how you feel!

- Hey.
- Hi.

What are you doing here?

I was walking to get
a cup of coffee,

but everything's closed.

It's 10:00.

You forgot where you were.

It's mainly the walk I wanted.

And...

I was thinking about you.

You and the show.

Yeah, I've, um,

I've been thinking about it too.

I wanted to ask you
one last time

if you would consider dancing
if it was...

With me?

No pressure, not for TV.

Just us having fun
in our own show.

Like a couples dance?

It can be whatever
we want it to be.

Do you wanna go inside
and figure it out?

- Okay.
- Okay.

All right.
Let's try some styles.

- Okay, here we go.
- Okay.

- Ooh.
- Ouch.

- Uh, sorry.
- It's okay.

Um.

We're just shaking off
the rust, so, uh,

how about a foxtrot?
Okay.

And...

Eh, that's not right.
Eh, yeah.

That's not right. Um...

What if we try something
a little more fun,

like a... like a Lindy Hop?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Ready?
And...

Nah, that... that's, like,
too much fun.

You know what I mean? Um.

We need to do something
that builds,

and it has excitement,
with an amazing finish.

How about a paso?

- Okay, let's try it.
- All right, here we go.

All right, and...

Coffee?

Yeah.

Yeah. Coffee.

You're lucky I still had
Phoebe's spare key.

Ooh.
You got great balance.

What are you, a dancer?

Every dancer in New York waited
tables at some point, right?

I know I did.

So when did dancing...
So when did you move-

I'll go first.

Remember those lottery
commercials in New York

with the dancing lotto balls?

No, but I feel like I'm gonna do

a deep YouTube dive later.

Good luck trying to find that.

Anyway, that was my first
pro gig in New York.

I was number five.

It's on my résumé.

"Billy Hernandez,
Number Five Lotto Ball."

- Your turn.
- Okay.

"Lion King."

You got your start
in "Lion King"?

On Broadway? That's amazing.

You are talking to the back end

of the middle giraffe.

But I... I had some other
bigger auditions too.

Oh, yeah, like what?

I was the lead dancer
on the Katy Perry tour.

Yeah, we went everywhere...
Miami, LA.

I'd made it,
as far as I was concerned.

That's huge break.

Yeah, it was.

But I resigned six weeks
into the tour.

I hated the road,

hated living out of a suitcase.

I felt...

rootless, and I was...

I was homesick.

So I came back here,
and I started teaching

at my mom's studio,
and I immediately felt better.

I proved to myself
that I could do it.

And then I chose to do
what made me truly happy.

So you came back home.

And this is where you made it.

Best decision of my life.

Maximum joy.

I like that.

Well, I'll admit,

you've been bringing some
maximum joy to my life lately.

Really?

Really.

You and this pie.

Okay.

- What've you got right there?
- I got some apple.

What do you got?

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, and eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

Junior.

I'm sorry.

One more day until we know
where you stand.

You got this, okay?

All right, you guys, great job.

Hey, Jun, come here a minute.

I'm dying to dance, Tío.

Yeah, I know you are. Look.

Has anyone ever told you
what it's like

auditioning as a professional?

No, but I'm sure
I could handle it.

They line you up

with all these other
amazing dancers

in New York City.

The best dancers
from every small town

in the whole country.

Then a dance captain performs,

and you're expected to do
exactly what you just saw,

and if you make even one mistake...

You're out.

- No retakes?
- None.

That's why I didn't land
my first professional gig

for, like, 27 months.

27 months?

That's forever.

What'd you think,
I just left Garnet

and they put me on television?
Pretty much.

You never told me
how hard it was.

It's why Rae and I are always
saying, balance on stage...

both: Balance in life.

Listen,
you know what's not that hard?

Pulling up your geography grade.

Just got to study hard.

Okay.

Thanks, Tío.

See you later.

How was that? Did I do okay?

You did great.

By the way,
my first professional job

took me six months.

Ooh, excuse me.
That's right, baby giraffe.

That reminds me, we haven't
even rehearsed our number yet.

Yeah, I know. Do you have
some time right now?

How about tomorrow,

'cause tonight,
I promised my mom

I'd be home for dinner?

Okay.

Would...

Would you like to join us?

Yeah.

I'll bring dessert.

All right.
I'll see you then.

Okay.
See you tonight.

Dallas, thanks for getting
back to me.

Only took five days.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry,

but Shakira ate a Snickers bar,

and we were in the hospital
all weekend,

so we're just coming up
for air now.

Okay, so what's the latest?

The laying low strategy
is really working.

People aren't talking
about you at all.

Which means they'll do a
double take when you come back.

No, not, "come back," come back,

because you're
still heavy in the ether.

We just need someone
to pick up on it,

and when they do,
watch out... runaway train!

Until then, just keep
doing what you're doing.

Whatever it is you're doing.

Actually, I've been helping
out with a show down here.

Oh, that's great news.
What are they paying?

No, no, no, it's not like that.

It's... it's just for fun.

Oh, well.

I wish I could commission fun,
puddin' pants, but I can't.

Speaking of puddin' pants...

Whew, I wish
I could open a window.

Shakira is still
digesting the Snickers bar.

Listen, there's so much
local talent here.

It's crazy... singers, dancers,
the whole deal,

but they don't have the means
or the opportunities

necessarily that most people
on TV do...

Hold the phone.

Local talent,
small town on display?

This sounds like
a show the networks

might want
to take a bite out of.

Really? Maybe.

Could be a way for these people
to get their chance

without having to leave
their whole life behind.

Listen, why don't you let me
dip my toe

in the network pool

and see if the temp
is warm for the idea?

Well, I guess as long
as it's just a dip.

I promise not
to go above my ankles.

How's that?

Listen, let me get on this,
okay?

Shakira says bye!

Okay, I bet you
have room for one more!

- No, no, no, no, no, no!
- One more!

Hey, you sleep good that way.

Come on.

You know, you have been
smiling all night long.

Like you have something
to share, what is it?

No... nothing,

I'm just enjoying the food, Mom.

Mm.

And the company.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, I bet you are.

Everything's been
so delicious, Irma.

Thank you.

It's been really nice
to spend time with all of you.

Hey, you want to do
some studying?

Ma, is it cool if
we go in the next room?

- Do some flashcards?
- No, after dessert.

Oh, no, that's okay.

You guys can go ahead.
I'll bring it up to you.

You know what,
I think I will join you.

Okay, Billy,
you stay and, uh, help Rae.

Of course.

Okay.

Yeah... go, go.

Come on, lets go.

- Just gonna push this...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Go, go.
- I'm leaving!

Ahem.

Please be sure
to thank Phoebe for these pies.

It might be awkward because
she doesn't know I took them.

Oh!

Cold as ice.

Hey. Get out of there!

Are you having a good time?

Yeah, of course.

Your family is wonderful.

And so homey here.

I love all
the greenery everywhere.

By the way, that right there

happens to be
from our family tree.

Oh, really?

Uh-huh.
The Hernandez noble fir.

It's over at Garnett Creek Park.

Yeah, I know that park.
I passed by it all the time.

How does one get a family tree?

My dad saved it from a fire

when it was just a sapling
and planted it there.

Took care of it for years.

He always said,

"Whatever you focus your
attention on will always grow."

Hmm. I like that.

And I agree with your dad.

So um.

Listen, I want
to run something by you.

I'm all ears.

I've been thinking
a lot about what you said,

about what-ifs and opportunity,

and prioritizing home
over making it.

I want the next thing that
I do to be able

to include all of that.

Great idea, Billy.

It was your idea.

Centering the show
around discovering talent

in your own hometown and
bringing an opportunity and...

And giving them
a choice to go for it.

Exactly.

Hmm.

Would...

Would you consider being
a part of something like that?

Me?

Oh, I...

I don't know.

Will you at least
think about it?

I say we focus
on the rehearsals.

But yeah, I'll think about it.

Okay.

But while you're
thinking about that,

why don't you
also think about this?

This is not the way to the
rehearsal we haven't had yet.

Just a little detour.
It'll be quick.

So this is the Hernandez fir.

It's beautiful.

My dad and I planted it
here together.

He said he wanted me
to remember my roots.

Haven't always done that, so...

It's nice to be back.

Thank you for bringing me here.

It's a sign.

Of what?

You and I...

Are going to have a great show.

Yeah, yeah, we are.

You know, it could be a sign
or something else.

You think so?

Yeah, I do.

We should really get
to that rehearsal.

Yeah, we should.

Does this count
as dance rehearsal?

Yeah.

Was that okay?

My jokes didn't feel
too forced, did they?

Oh, so good, Jessie, so good.

The more honest you are
and not trying too hard,

the funnier and funnier it gets.

All right.
Hey, listen, everyone.

That was
a really good rehearsal.

Don't worry
about the tiny mistakes.

It's good to get them out now
instead of in the show.

And remember, it's a fun show!

Yeah, you guys, just be playful.

Have fun because
the audience already loves us.

And it's a celebration
of this time of year.

That's right.

Hey, lets practice our dance?

Yes, it seems like we're
always getting interrupted.

Ahem.

Billy, Bravo.

A little show in a barn.

It's cute. It's really cute.

Joanna, wha...
What are you doing here?

"Celebrity Dance Off" sent me...

They want you back!

And they thought
I'd be the most persuasive

in reeling you back in.

Uh, I'll be right back.

I have so much to tell you.

Oh, I missed you!
Yeah, uh-

Wait, aren't you going to
introduce me to everyone?

Everyone, this is Joanna.
Joanna, everyone.

Jeez, what a commute!

A plane, a train,
and an automobile.

But here I am.

This is cute.

Well, you didn't call first.

Not from a plane, a train,
or any of those things.

I wanted to surprise you.

You know, people are
talking back home about this.

This homey Christmas show
you're doing on a little farm.

It's testing really well.
That's why they want you back.

It's testing really well...

How do they even
know about this?

Some kid named JSteps.

- Who?
- Hello, your nephew?

Did you forget
how social media works?

And my tío, Mr. Holiday,
is in the show too!

It's a whole vibe.

Hah!

So this is how
you found out about me?

Mm-hm. Listen, before your
comeback is official,

I just wanted to say
that I am incredibly sorry

that you got booted
from our show.

And the Christmas special.

Oh, which I just
finished filming last night,

and it was awesome, by the way.

Anyway, none of those changes
were my idea.

I just... I didn't realize
how terrible

this must have been for you.

Well, it didn't feel great.

Oh, and can I just say
that with you being gone?

I was doing your job and my job,

and it was just
way too much for me.

So please take back
your producer's chair.

I really can't talk right now.

I gotta get back to my show.

Billy.

I really, really am sorry
about our show.

You know?

Maybe this all happened
for a reason.

Maybe I was meant to do
something else.

Mysterious and centered.

Hmm.

He seems different.

Hey, Jun, where's Rae?

I think she went to her studio.

Hey, I thought
we were gonna rehearse?

Yeah, I just needed some air.

And I'm guessing she or they
or whoever wants you back.

Yeah.

- What are we doing?
- What do you mean?

We're putting on a Christmas
show tomorrow night.

No, I mean, like,
what are we doing?

You're obviously
leaving town after this.

Maybe not...

Rae, there's a lot
of moving pieces...

Am I a moving piece?

No, no, of course not.

What do you want?

I want...

To rehearse this dance
and finish the show.

Well, then let's do that.

I'm sorry things got
a little crazy right now,

but please tell me we're good.

For the show, yeah.

Beyond that, I don't know.

See you tomorrow.

And his ex is back in town,

and she's offered him
his job back.

So...

you're, uh,
you're all caught up.

Okay.

Is he going to take it?

I don't know.

Did he talk to you about it?

Sort of.

I mean,
I think he... I think he tried

and then I just said
I wanted to focus on the show.

So.

Maybe you should
tell him how you feel.

Rae, you're always saying

that you don't want
to live with...

What-ifs.

Welcome back to
"Access Hollywood"!

Is Billy Holiday making
a comeback just weeks after

his controversial exit
from his hit show?

Rumor has it he'll be returning
to "Celebrity Dance Off"

in a miracle worthy
of Christmas... check out this

exclusive video obtained
by "Access Hollywood"

that is sure to get
everyone talking.

Your kid has really
complicated my life, Marissa.

Sorry, sorry, I just saw it.

He was bragging to me
about all his

followers he got because of you.

Power of social media, bro.

I even saw it on "Access."

- It was on "Access Hollywood"?
- Yeah.

You know, you'd be
really good on that show.

Yeah, right.
Look, Joanna just showed up.

Wait, here in person?

Yeah.

And apparently,
LA wants me back.

Well, that's a good thing, right?

I'm not so sure.

I'm not gonna lie, Rae is
really changing how I feel.

Two weeks ago, I would have

jumped at this chance,
but now...

I don't know.

You know what,

you're gonna make
the right decision for Billy.

Thanks.

I'm lucky to have you
as a sister-slash-roommate.

I am pretty amazing, huh?

All right, nice, Sam.

It's straight.
I'll see you tonight.

Tío, Tío, I did it!
I did it!

B-plus, B-plus!

All right, buddy.

I'm proud of you.
I knew you could do it.

Now, I promised Junior
I wouldn't hug him.

But I lied!
Oh, I'm so proud of you!

- You remember your routine?
- I think so.

- Okay.
- I can't wait to tell Miss H.

Is she inside?

I haven't seen her,
but I'm gonna see her tonight.

- Let's go get ready, come on.
- Yeah.

Is everything
all right with Rae?

Yeah, oh, yeah.
All good.

Dallas, I can't talk right now.
I'm running late for my show.

I just picked up
to say Merry Christmas. Bye.

No, no, no, Billy, don't go,
don't go, don't go!

What is it?

Remember that
local talent show idea

I was gonna dip my toe into?

Yeah?

Well, don't be upset.

But I did a full-on cannonball
into the deep end.

- Okay.
- Not one, not two.

But three networks
are interested.

Sweetheart, as we speak,

there is a bidding war going on
for "Small Town Talent."

And you will have
full creative control.

You'll be able to shoot the show

where you want
and with who you want.

Billy, this is your baby, baby,
that I just helped deliver.

Wait... are you serious?

I am so serious,

I'm actually nauseous
from the heavy ether

that you are putting out there.

Now, that could be Shakira.

But either way,
we are so excited for you.

So are we good to go?

This is amazing, Dallas,

but I'm gonna have to get
back to you.

I'm gonna have to check
and see if

this is the right thing for us.

For us? Who's us?

Rae and I... I'm not doing
the show without her.

Oh, by the way, please
tell Shakira I said "hiii!"

The audience is gonna love you.

Just have fun, okay?
Okay.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

Okay, but it's almost showtime.

Yeah, I just spoke with Dallas.

Who's Dallas?

It doesn't matter.
What does matter is that

they're offering me
another show.

Yeah, no, I know.

"Celebrity Dance Off"
wants you back,

and they shouldn't have
let you go in first place,

but I'm happy for you,
I really am,

but it's show time, so lets go.

That's not...

Welcome, everybody,
to our holiday show,

"Christmas Then,
Christmas Now."

We have some amazing
performers tonight.

That's right, and isn't it
great to be back in the barn?

It's gonna be really hard
to say goodbye to you.

Maybe you won't to have to.

Enjoy the show!

Look, I just...

Let's just talk after the show.

Hey, you're up.

You got this.
Break a leg.

Let's hear it for Billy and Rae.

I'm gonna tell Santa
I want a man

to love and a father
for my children.

And I need Santa to make sure
the two never meet.

Good night, everybody.
I'm Jesse Woodley.

Don't forget to tip your elves!

This just can't wait,

I just want you to know...

I'm not going back
to "Celebrity Dance Off."

I thought they wanted you back?

They do.

I don't want them, I want this.

- The barn?
- Yes, the barn.

This is the place
that inspired me...

It's a place that inspired you,

and look what it's
doing here tonight.

I want to make dreams
come true right here.

That's the show
that I want to do.

And I want to do it with you.

With me?

Hey, guys,
there's no one on stage.

Oh, shoot, we're on.

Before our final performance tonight,

I just want to thank every
single one of the performers

and all of you in this
building tonight.

Because of your generosity,

my dancers, your kids,
are going to New York!

Now, obviously, none of this
would have happened

without somebody we all know.

So Billy?

Now let's hear it for Rae,
the heart and soul of Garnett.

And I just like to say quickly
that I love being back home,

but I'm not here
to make a speech tonight.

I'm here to dance.

What if I told you,

I want to be wherever you are.

What if I told you,

I want to be here with you.
