00:00:00Mom, remember when we talked about the difference between loving someone and being in love?
00:00:11No, no, not at all.
00:00:13Love is love.
00:00:15Mom, I'm sure you dated other guys before Dad and maybe you even loved some of them.
00:00:23How did you know Dad was the one?
00:00:25By marrying him.
00:00:26Let's go.
00:00:27Let's go.
00:00:29Okay.
00:00:57I'm sorry.
00:01:03I'm sorry.
00:01:09I'm sorry.
00:01:15I'm sorry.
00:01:21Hey, hey, what do you think about doing a crushed velvet and chrome for at Kate's house?
00:01:33Huh?
00:01:34What happened?
00:01:35I don't know.
00:01:36I have no idea.
00:01:37I mean, I just, I don't.
00:01:38Love him.
00:01:39Mom?
00:01:40Mom?
00:01:41Mom?
00:01:42Mom?
00:01:43Mom?
00:01:44Mom?
00:01:45Mom?
00:01:47Love him.
00:01:55God, what is wrong with me?
00:01:57I mean, I've broken not one, not two, but three.
00:02:02Three engagements.
00:02:04You came pretty close to sealing the deal this time.
00:02:08How is he?
00:02:10After you left, he kind of put his fist through the pulpit.
00:02:15Reverend Macy was really nice about it.
00:02:17Oh, I should have never said yes in the first place.
00:02:21Probably.
00:02:22Viv, he asked me to marry him in front of 50,000 basketball fans.
00:02:26Did you want me to break his heart on a hundred foot jumbotron?
00:02:29Is it any worse than breaking his heart at his own wedding?
00:02:32I'm awful.
00:02:34Jessie, that's not what I meant.
00:02:37No.
00:02:38You know what?
00:02:40It's fine.
00:02:42I'm clearly not meant for the whole marriage thing, so this is it.
00:02:46I'm done hurting people.
00:02:48No more wedding planning.
00:02:50No more engagement parties.
00:02:52I'm done.
00:02:54Two pair.
00:02:56Straight.
00:02:58I don't believe it.
00:03:00Pocket aces.
00:03:01You still beat me.
00:03:02Five, seven, why would you even play that hand?
00:03:04Sometimes it's better to run good than play good.
00:03:06Unbelievable.
00:03:08I can't help it if I got the luck of the Irish in me.
00:03:10All right, easy, McTiernan.
00:03:11You're not that lucky all the time.
00:03:13Are you sure about that?
00:03:14Or you forget about that money that I took from you last week with my full house?
00:03:17Oh, I'm not talking about cards.
00:03:21What are you talking about, then?
00:03:23Women.
00:03:26Are you serious?
00:03:27He's kidding, right?
00:03:29I'm the only one who can still go out and get lucky.
00:03:31The rest of you have to go home to your wives.
00:03:33Look, we all know that you've dated lots of women, but none of them have gone anywhere.
00:03:38And thankfully so, because I don't want to get caught up in that whole marriage mess.
00:03:42Aiden, face it, you could never get a girl to commit.
00:03:45That's ridiculous.
00:03:46Of course I could.
00:03:47Really?
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49You want to bet?
00:03:51You get a girl to say yes to your marriage proposal by Christmas,
00:03:56and I will give you my corner office.
00:03:58Lose, and you have to take Charlie's cubicle.
00:04:01Sweet.
00:04:02That's crazy.
00:04:03Crazy because, what, you don't think he can do it?
00:04:04I mean, you've never run away from a bet before.
00:04:06No, it's crazy because Christmas is just four weeks away.
00:04:09Hey, Svetlana said yes after four weeks.
00:04:11Charlie, she was getting deported.
00:04:13Hey, man, look, it's cool.
00:04:14If you don't think you can win this one, just say so.
00:04:17I'll do it.
00:04:19Beg your pardon?
00:04:22But I have to choose the girl.
00:04:25Oh, done and done-er, my friend.
00:04:28You are on.
00:04:36Okay.
00:04:39Hey.
00:04:40Oh.
00:04:41Oh, sorry.
00:04:42Are you busy?
00:04:45Just getting ready for a job.
00:04:48Someone dropped their wedding ring down a drain.
00:04:52Mike, I am so sorry.
00:04:55I know.
00:04:56I should have never let it get this far.
00:04:58You and my family and everyone went through so much trouble and...
00:05:07Here.
00:05:10Keep it.
00:05:12No, Mike, I can't.
00:05:13Just hang on to it.
00:05:16You don't have to wear it if it freaks you out too much.
00:05:19Just keep it.
00:05:21You never know.
00:05:23You know what?
00:05:24Maybe you should take a little time and change your mind.
00:05:30If you kept the ring, he wouldn't take it back.
00:05:33And I've hurt him enough already.
00:05:35Jess, you have got to stop saying yes to these guys just so you won't hurt their feelings.
00:05:39Because guess what?
00:05:40You're going to hurt them anyway.
00:05:42You know me.
00:05:43I hate confrontation.
00:05:44Look, if a guy asks you to marry him on a 100-foot jumbotron,
00:05:48that's the risk he's willing to take in public humiliation.
00:05:51Right.
00:05:52That's sort of...
00:05:53You could have just said no.
00:05:55No.
00:05:56Good.
00:05:57Thanks.
00:05:58So you're going to give the ring back?
00:05:59No.
00:06:00What?
00:06:01Yes.
00:06:02For next week.
00:06:10Brilliant, isn't it?
00:06:13Brilliant?
00:06:16Do you know the artist?
00:06:18I can't say that I do.
00:06:20She's a client at the trading firm I work for.
00:06:22I could introduce you.
00:06:24It's weird.
00:06:25First, I should introduce myself.
00:06:26I'm Matt.
00:06:27Matt Harper.
00:06:29Jessie.
00:06:30Jessie.
00:06:31Nice.
00:06:32Did you...
00:06:33Sorry.
00:06:34Damaged goods.
00:06:35She's just getting over a broken engagement.
00:06:36Awesome.
00:06:37I'm going through a divorce so we can solve stories.
00:06:38She's sworn off men, dating, marriage, the whole thing.
00:06:40Really?
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:42Well, I don't want to mess with damaged goods.
00:06:44Unless, of course, your sister would like to...
00:06:46Is gay.
00:06:47Yeah, she is.
00:06:48Okay.
00:06:49Well, I'm just going to...
00:06:51I think that there's maybe...
00:06:57And that's how it's done.
00:07:02So, any luck?
00:07:05Well, Bull, you told me to study this painting
00:07:07to seek creative enlightenment when acquiring his stocks.
00:07:11Yeah, I was just talking about the girl.
00:07:13I know what you're talking about.
00:07:15Good, because I have found the one.
00:07:18I thought the deal was that I choose.
00:07:20Hey, can't a guy help a friend out?
00:07:21Besides, she is super cute, all right, and recently single.
00:07:24Is this some kind of joke?
00:07:26Hey.
00:07:28Tell me.
00:07:49She is super cute.
00:07:51Yeah.
00:07:52I wonder what's wrong with her.
00:07:54Nothing.
00:07:55You know, other than she turned me down.
00:07:57She turned you down?
00:07:58She turned me down.
00:08:01I like her already.
00:08:04I like her already.
00:08:16I hate wearing heels at these things.
00:08:18I'm sorry?
00:08:20It's just the walk from the car.
00:08:23It kills my calves.
00:08:25Oh.
00:08:26I bet you look great in stilettos.
00:08:28Seriously, though, whoever said women look better in heels
00:08:30is way off.
00:08:31Kicks.
00:08:32Now, that's hot.
00:08:33Yeah, well, somehow I doubt kicks with this dress
00:08:36would be very hot.
00:08:38You would be the envy of every woman in this room
00:08:41if you wore kicks with that dress.
00:08:47Aiden McTiernan.
00:08:49Jessie Pedersen.
00:08:51So, Jessie, are you in the market for some new art?
00:08:55I came with my sister.
00:08:57So, your sister, is she a collector?
00:09:00We're interior designers.
00:09:02Really?
00:09:03Interesting.
00:09:04Vijay Designs.
00:09:06Vijay.
00:09:07Vivian Jessie Designs.
00:09:09It's...
00:09:10Oh, V-J, yeah.
00:09:12I think I get that.
00:09:16Hey, you want to grab a coffee?
00:09:19No.
00:09:25Could I get a card?
00:09:27Because I'm looking to redecorate my condo.
00:09:30I thought maybe we could go over some ideas.
00:09:32No.
00:09:33No?
00:09:34Yes, huh?
00:09:35Jessie would be thrilled to give you a consultation.
00:09:40Great.
00:09:41Saturday, 10.30?
00:09:42Saturday's perfect.
00:09:45Vivian, I assume?
00:09:46That's right.
00:09:47Aiden, it's a pleasure.
00:09:49So, this is the whole Vijay experience, huh?
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:53I'm gonna email you the address.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:07Hello.
00:10:08Jessie.
00:10:09Hey.
00:10:10Hey.
00:10:11Wow.
00:10:12Elevator into the place, huh?
00:10:13Yeah, it's neat.
00:10:14Welcome.
00:10:16So, this is it.
00:10:18Other than what I see in Ikea catalogs,
00:10:20I really have no idea how to do this, so...
00:10:23Well,
00:10:25one thing you should know about me is I design based on the individual.
00:10:28Well, and comfort, of course.
00:10:30So, I mean, your place is great,
00:10:32it's just not really that functional.
00:10:35The first thing we're gonna do
00:10:37is personalize your space.
00:10:40Does that mean you need to get to know me better?
00:10:42Because we can go for a glass of wine
00:10:44and I'll tell you everything you need to know.
00:10:46Color.
00:10:47What?
00:10:48Do you prefer a blue tone, a red, a neutral?
00:10:52Yeah, blue is good.
00:10:55Okay, great.
00:10:56So, I'll just need you to look at these fabric swatches and color.
00:11:12I'm so sorry.
00:11:14I didn't know that you were married.
00:11:16I'm not.
00:11:17Engaged.
00:11:18I wasn't.
00:11:19Or whatever.
00:11:20I never was.
00:11:22I'm getting it back.
00:11:23So, I'll let you keep this
00:11:25and if you just want to go through the colors and fabrics
00:11:28and let me know,
00:11:29we can get a nice color scheme going.
00:11:32And then you can email me.
00:11:35Yeah, I'll email you.
00:11:36And we'll go from there, okay?
00:11:38Yeah, cool.
00:11:42I'll talk to you soon.
00:11:43Great.
00:11:44Okay.
00:11:47Bye.
00:11:48Bye.
00:11:52What?
00:11:56I don't believe this.
00:11:57You knew.
00:11:58You knew I had no chance with this.
00:12:00Hey, it's not my fault you chose her
00:12:01before you did your own reconnaissance.
00:12:03That's not fair.
00:12:04Hey, you could just admit defeat.
00:12:05I mean, I'm sure we can have you moved into Charlie's cubicle
00:12:07by, like, the end of the day, pal.
00:12:09Stop.
00:12:11Stop it.
00:12:15It's fun over there.
00:12:17Forget it.
00:12:18I'll make this happen.
00:12:20All right.
00:12:22Good luck.
00:12:25What a waste of time.
00:12:26Guess we'll be renting this place for another year.
00:12:29Coming.
00:12:34Aidan.
00:12:35Hey.
00:12:36Hey.
00:12:37What are you doing here?
00:12:42Aidan.
00:12:43Hey.
00:12:44Hey.
00:12:45What are you doing here?
00:12:47I thought I'd come talk to you about all your ideas.
00:12:50Please.
00:12:52Come in.
00:12:54Right.
00:12:55Well, I actually put together this board for you
00:12:58if you want to take a look.
00:13:00Um, I was thinking, you know, like, this general vibe.
00:13:04You know, it's hard for me to tell
00:13:06if I really love something from a picture.
00:13:08I need to physically touch it.
00:13:10Ah.
00:13:12Right.
00:13:13Um, okay.
00:13:14Well, I'm going to the store later today,
00:13:16so, you know what, it's no problem.
00:13:17I can pull some of these pieces,
00:13:18and then, you know, you can check them out.
00:13:20Oh, no, you're heading there today?
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:22Oh, great, because I have the rest of the afternoon off.
00:13:24I can go with you.
00:13:25Great.
00:13:26No.
00:13:27I mean, it's so time-consuming,
00:13:30and I have all of those orders to pick up.
00:13:34Hey, Jessie.
00:13:35Mike.
00:13:37What are you doing here?
00:13:38I just stopped by.
00:13:40I thought I could buy you some lunch.
00:13:43I'd love to.
00:13:44Uh, it was just that I'm about to take my client here, Aidan,
00:13:47to go furniture shopping.
00:13:49You ready to go?
00:13:53Yes.
00:13:54Great.
00:14:00Nice to meet you.
00:14:01Yeah, you too.
00:14:05Some other time, then?
00:14:07Yeah.
00:14:09For sure.
00:14:16Okay, now this is what I was thinking for your living room.
00:14:19Isn't it fabulous?
00:14:21I myself love an extra-long couch.
00:14:23It gives me plenty of room to lay down, relax,
00:14:26do whatever, you know.
00:14:31Right, right?
00:14:34Here, take a seat.
00:14:36No, I'm fine, thank you.
00:14:39Have a seat.
00:14:40How do you know how it feels?
00:14:43Okay.
00:14:52What are you doing now?
00:14:58Pretend you're watching a movie.
00:15:00Okay.
00:15:03Let me guess.
00:15:04We're watching a romance.
00:15:06Horror film, actually.
00:15:09Really?
00:15:10Yeah.
00:15:11I love that moment when I know I'm about to be so scared,
00:15:15but I still don't know when it's coming,
00:15:17and then all of a sudden it's...
00:15:18Bam!
00:15:21I know the feeling exactly.
00:15:22My parents used to leave me alone a lot when I was younger,
00:15:24and I used to watch slasher movies to see how scared I could make myself.
00:15:27Oh, yeah?
00:15:28How old were you?
00:15:30Ten, twelve.
00:15:33And you were alone?
00:15:37And you were alone?
00:15:40Who's that guy you were trying to dodge at the house?
00:15:43Not that it matters to me,
00:15:45considering I was the one you were trying to shake before he showed up.
00:15:48Okay, well, I wasn't trying to shake anyone.
00:15:53And that was Mike.
00:15:55He was my fiancé.
00:16:04Okay, we have all the major pieces.
00:16:07Now we just need accents,
00:16:09like pillows, lamps, side tables, that sort of a thing.
00:16:13It's hard to believe Christmas is just a few weeks away.
00:16:17What do you think of Christmas decor?
00:16:19I mean, from a design perspective.
00:16:24I think, for the most part, it's tacky and over-the-top.
00:16:27But, I don't know, when it's done right...
00:16:31I really like Christmas time.
00:16:33My favorite thing about it, though, isn't the decor.
00:16:36It's actually the music.
00:16:40Really?
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:43As corny as it may sound,
00:16:45I've always had a soft spot for Christmas carols.
00:16:50Is that funny to you?
00:16:53No, it's not.
00:17:13No?
00:17:38Hey, Jessie?
00:17:40Owen!
00:17:42Hi.
00:17:43Hi.
00:17:44Wow.
00:17:45Funny bumping into you here.
00:17:47It's terrible.
00:17:48Yeah, no, listen, I'm just on my way out,
00:17:50but Sandy was wondering if we're still on for dinner in the new year.
00:17:53You bet.
00:17:54Great, because we should really do it this time.
00:17:56I agree.
00:17:57Okay, good.
00:17:58So, forecast is calling for a 90% chance of dinner.
00:18:02You got it.
00:18:03All right.
00:18:04Good to see you.
00:18:05Yeah.
00:18:06Great work.
00:18:08Yeah, we've got someone on the phone.
00:18:10Who was that?
00:18:11Oh, um, that was Owen, one of my fiancés.
00:18:15He's married now to this lovely woman named Sandy.
00:18:19Another fiancé?
00:18:21Mm-hmm.
00:18:22How many have you had?
00:18:23Three.
00:18:24Owen, Trent, and Mike.
00:18:34Three times.
00:18:35Three times.
00:18:36She's been engaged three times.
00:18:37Maybe it'll be easy to get her to say yes.
00:18:39She's done it three times.
00:18:40Three times too many.
00:18:41I don't know.
00:18:42It sounds to me like you should start packing your cubicle, Charlie.
00:18:45I know what she likes.
00:18:46I never knew I loved cabbage rolls until I married Svetlana.
00:18:49It's why we're perfect for each other.
00:18:53We both like scary movies.
00:18:55That's great.
00:18:56You can bond over the exorcist.
00:18:59Ah, that's the side table.
00:19:00That goes over by the window, please.
00:19:02Excuse me.
00:19:04Over there.
00:19:05Hey, do you have any wall art, like pictures and photos?
00:19:09Uh, just bullious piece.
00:19:11Yeah, but you're not a fan.
00:19:13What, you don't think it'll work?
00:19:15Art should be personal.
00:19:17You know, it should mean something to you.
00:19:19Um, do you have any family portraits?
00:19:22Brothers, sisters?
00:19:24You're looking at an only child.
00:19:26Okay.
00:19:27How about you?
00:19:28You got anyone else other than your sister?
00:19:29Uh, just me and my parents, but we're all pretty close.
00:19:32Over here, please.
00:19:33So tell me, what do you like?
00:19:35What do you like to do?
00:19:36Outside of designing.
00:19:38Uh, well, I volunteer at a dog shelter.
00:19:42Really?
00:19:43Yeah.
00:19:44Barkley Dog Shelter.
00:19:46It's really the only way I can satisfy my urge to have a dog.
00:19:49Uh, sister's allergies.
00:19:51I love dogs.
00:19:53Yeah, I can tell by your pet-free building.
00:19:56No, no, no, really.
00:19:57I love, I love dogs.
00:20:00Here.
00:20:01What's this?
00:20:02You asked me if I had any family portraits.
00:20:05Well, that's it.
00:20:06Just me and my dog, Luke.
00:20:10He was a good dog.
00:20:11There.
00:20:14Thanks.
00:20:17Excuse me.
00:20:18Thanks.
00:20:21Wait, I could have sworn the lamps were coming with the delivery.
00:20:25You know what, I'll give them a call and see if they're still coming.
00:20:28Well, look, if you don't have to do anything, I don't have to go anywhere either.
00:20:31I can get some takeout and we can wait until they come.
00:20:34What do you like?
00:20:35Do you like sushi, Thai?
00:20:38I could go for a burger.
00:20:41Really?
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:43Okay, I'll get some cheeseburgers.
00:20:45There's a great spot down the street.
00:20:48Stick around, okay?
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50We'll hang out until the lamps arrive.
00:20:58Oh, this part's nasty.
00:21:03Hey, what about a piano in the corner?
00:21:07Well, I don't really play.
00:21:09Oh, please, yes you do.
00:21:10I heard you the other night.
00:21:12Great.
00:21:15Thanks.
00:21:16You're welcome.
00:21:17My mom and I used to play carols every Christmas.
00:21:21At least until the divorce.
00:21:23After that, Christmas was different.
00:21:28It must have been hard.
00:21:31Who'd you spend Christmas with, your mom or your dad?
00:21:34Whatever the lawyers decided.
00:21:43Oh.
00:21:44What?
00:21:45Run!
00:21:46Run!
00:21:51The lamps.
00:21:53Oh.
00:21:56So you and Aiden were having dinner and watching a movie together.
00:22:00Alone.
00:22:01Yes, but it wasn't like that.
00:22:04We were working.
00:22:05We were waiting for that delivery.
00:22:07Uh-huh.
00:22:08It was so funny because we're sitting there watching a scary movie
00:22:10and the delivery guy comes in and scares the pants off us.
00:22:13This girl, she likes burgers, guys.
00:22:16Not Thai, not sushi.
00:22:18Burgers and fries.
00:22:19I mean, how many girls do you know that'll dig into a 12-ounce fat boy?
00:22:22Oh, and she likes dogs.
00:22:24Get this.
00:22:25She volunteers at a dog show.
00:22:26Okay, enough, enough, Romeo.
00:22:28We're all in here.
00:22:29You gonna play this hand or what?
00:22:30Yeah, right.
00:22:31Sounds like you two might be perfect for each other.
00:22:34Okay, well, I wouldn't say that.
00:22:36All right?
00:22:37It's gotta be believable, right, for me to win the bet?
00:22:41Oh, unbelievable.
00:22:43I'm out.
00:22:44What, you're leaving already?
00:22:45Yeah, I got an early squash game in the morning.
00:22:48Yeah, I got Svetlana's family coming in for Christmas.
00:22:51What about you, Stu?
00:22:52You gonna stick around for a little two-handed euchre?
00:22:54Oh, no.
00:22:55I told Bev that I was renting a DVD.
00:22:58For two hours?
00:22:59Yeah, she thinks I'm indecisive.
00:23:02All right, buddy.
00:23:03Just remember, you got three weeks left to make it happen.
00:23:07Not a problem.
00:23:08See you, man.
00:23:10Later.
00:23:22Guess what?
00:23:24We are gonna get you all pretty,
00:23:27because you have a family coming to look at you today.
00:23:31Yes, you do.
00:23:32Jesse?
00:23:33I was wondering if you could show our new volunteer
00:23:35what needs to get done around here.
00:23:37Oh, yeah.
00:23:41Aiden.
00:23:44You two know each other.
00:23:45Even better.
00:23:46Thanks.
00:23:47Thanks.
00:23:50What are you doing here?
00:23:52You inspired me.
00:23:54Besides, if I can't have a dog, I think you're right.
00:23:56This might be the next best thing.
00:23:59Who's this guy?
00:24:00Scruffy boy.
00:24:01Hey.
00:24:02That's Jake.
00:24:03Hey, good-looking guy.
00:24:05So, what can I do?
00:24:08Well...
00:24:11I think you can start by cleaning Mr. Lincoln's kennel.
00:24:17Yeah, okay.
00:24:20Oh, hey there, Lincoln.
00:24:23Get you all spiffed up to do the injustice, huh?
00:24:26Oh, for such a little guy, you sure do some big...
00:24:30Wow.
00:24:31Here, let me take him off your hands.
00:24:33All right.
00:24:35Rookie.
00:24:44You know how lucky you are?
00:24:46Your parents let you have a dog?
00:24:49Yeah, I don't know about that.
00:24:52After the divorce, they thought it was too much work.
00:24:58So, they decided to bring Luke to the pound.
00:25:02Since then, it's been hard for me to get too attached to anything.
00:25:07Come here.
00:25:08Yeah, that's a good boy.
00:25:10That's such a good boy.
00:25:12Come here.
00:25:13Jesse.
00:25:15Uh, it's Mike.
00:25:17I'll be right back.
00:25:22Rhonda told me that you'd be here with the dogs.
00:25:25I didn't know you'd have company.
00:25:28Aiden, yeah.
00:25:31He's volunteering at the shelter.
00:25:34Oh.
00:25:35First he's a client, and now he's a volunteer.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:39Well, I wanted to talk to you about setting another date.
00:25:43A date?
00:25:45Look, I can understand if you don't want to do the whole ceremony thing again.
00:25:48We can skip that.
00:25:49Maybe just go to City Hall or something.
00:25:54Listen, um...
00:25:55Think of how happy this will make your mother.
00:25:57Wait, Jake! Jake!
00:25:58Jake!
00:26:01No.
00:26:02Jake!
00:26:03I'll be right back.
00:26:04Jesse!
00:26:05Come here, boy.
00:26:08Stay.
00:26:09Stay, boy.
00:26:10Stay, boy.
00:26:11Jake!
00:26:12Come here, boy.
00:26:13Stop him.
00:26:14Stop him.
00:26:15Mike, grab him.
00:26:16I got it.
00:26:17Come on, boy.
00:26:18Here, boy.
00:26:23Poor guy.
00:26:24You think he's going to be okay?
00:26:25Mike?
00:26:26Oh, he'll be fine.
00:26:29When did you know Mike, Owen, and...
00:26:32Trent.
00:26:33Trent.
00:26:35When did you know they weren't the ones?
00:26:37When they proposed, I guess.
00:26:39The idea of spending the rest of my life with them.
00:26:43I just kind of panicked.
00:26:48Isn't that normal?
00:26:49Aren't you supposed to get cold feet?
00:26:51I don't think so.
00:26:53I think when you're truly in love,
00:26:55the idea of spending the rest of your life with someone
00:26:59can make you the happiest you've ever been.
00:27:10Hey.
00:27:12I just wanted to let you know
00:27:13there's a bunch of guys in hazmat suits and masks at my condo.
00:27:17I don't know if I should pull out the boxing gloves
00:27:19and start defending myself or what.
00:27:21I forgot to tell you that I'm having your floors refinished,
00:27:24so you're going to love it.
00:27:26It's just you can't walk in your apartment for about six hours.
00:27:30Well, I guess I'm meeting out tonight.
00:27:36You want to join me?
00:27:37Uh, I was actually headed to my parents for game night.
00:27:40Game night?
00:27:41Yeah.
00:27:42Well, that sounds like fun.
00:27:45Do you want to come?
00:27:49Oh, hi.
00:27:51Hi.
00:27:52Where's your sister?
00:27:53Ah, she's on a date.
00:27:54Oh, and I see you brought one along as well.
00:27:57Actually, this is my client, Aiden.
00:27:59Oh.
00:28:00Nice to meet you.
00:28:01Hey, Bolt.
00:28:02Hey, Dad.
00:28:03Good to see you.
00:28:04Now, who's this?
00:28:05Aiden.
00:28:06Jesse's client.
00:28:08Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:28:10Aiden's floors are getting refinished,
00:28:11so I thought for the inconvenience, I'd bring him along.
00:28:15That's my sugar cookies.
00:28:16I've got to dress them before they get cool.
00:28:18Let me guess.
00:28:19The glass bottom method?
00:28:20Is there any other way?
00:28:22You need some help?
00:28:23I would love that.
00:28:24Come with me.
00:28:25You know what I really like to do?
00:28:26I like to make sure that the sugar cookies are spaced evenly.
00:28:31I saw this.
00:28:33Oh.
00:28:34Oh, uh.
00:28:36Mom loves scrapbooking,
00:28:37and she's kind of obsessed with documenting her lives.
00:28:42This one.
00:28:43Looks interesting.
00:28:44Oh, that's Mom's engagement album.
00:28:46It's...
00:28:47Oh.
00:28:51Most people have wedding albums.
00:28:54My mom has an engagement album.
00:29:00Uh, that's Owen.
00:29:02Owen.
00:29:03He was my first fiancé.
00:29:04He was a weatherman for Channel 5.
00:29:07And he proposed on live television
00:29:10during a weather forecast.
00:29:13Lucky you.
00:29:16There's Trent.
00:29:18Number two.
00:29:19He proposed on the marquee at the theater.
00:29:25He's a movie critic.
00:29:26You know, anything for a good review.
00:29:28Mm.
00:29:29Right.
00:29:30And of course, you know Mike.
00:29:42You look beautiful here.
00:29:52You know, I have a great idea.
00:29:55Why don't we...
00:29:57sing some carols around the piano?
00:30:00Aidan?
00:30:01Do you play?
00:30:02Oh, no.
00:30:03No, I don't.
00:30:04I don't play.
00:30:05Yeah, you do.
00:30:06You're great.
00:30:07Which carols do you know?
00:30:09I like, uh...
00:30:11First Noel.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13That's my favorite.
00:30:15Shall we?
00:30:17The first Noel
00:30:20The angel did say
00:30:24Was to certain poor shepherds
00:30:27In fields where they lay
00:30:30In fields where they lay
00:30:34Keeping their sheep
00:30:37On a cold winter's night
00:30:40That was so deep
00:30:43Here we go.
00:30:44Noel, Noel
00:30:47Noel, Noel
00:30:52For is the King of Israel
00:31:00Great.
00:31:01How about this one?
00:31:03Should old acquaintance be forgot
00:31:08And never brought to mind
00:31:12Should old acquaintance be forgot
00:31:17In days of auld lang syne
00:31:21For auld...
00:31:31Why did you invite him?
00:31:32Well, I just thought it might be kind of lovely to be on the spot.
00:31:35Sweetheart, I had no idea you were bringing a date.
00:31:37She's not a date.
00:31:38I just took off.
00:31:39He's a client.
00:31:40And anyways, Mom, it doesn't matter, okay?
00:31:42I have already told you,
00:31:44I don't want to be with Mike.
00:31:46And if you mean Aidan,
00:31:47I mean, I think that he is just lovely.
00:31:49She's a villain.
00:31:50She's crazy.
00:31:52I'm not marrying anyone.
00:31:55Okay?
00:32:01Shall we play?
00:32:02Oh, Dad, I don't think this is the right time.
00:32:06I'll play.
00:32:08That is, if anyone else is game.
00:32:12Well, Jesse did invite me over for game night.
00:32:16He's right.
00:32:17I did.
00:32:21Deal him up.
00:32:23I bet 40.
00:32:28Call.
00:32:33Fold.
00:32:37I'm out.
00:32:42I'm all in.
00:32:43Oh, yeah.
00:32:46I fold.
00:32:49I raise.
00:32:59Mike.
00:33:02What are you doing?
00:33:06Just raising the stakes.
00:33:09It's not my van.
00:33:10It's my 57 Chevy.
00:33:16You in or not?
00:33:23Fine.
00:33:25Infinity coop.
00:33:28I call.
00:33:34I can't believe he's taking your car.
00:33:38Oh, see, I knew it.
00:33:40He's just pulling our leg.
00:33:42I'll come back tomorrow for my Chevy.
00:33:45Okay.
00:33:51Yeah, but if my mom hadn't invited him, this wouldn't have happened.
00:33:55Come on.
00:33:56It's nice to have a mom who cares.
00:33:59I know.
00:34:00I just don't want any pressure.
00:34:02Next time, I want to know for sure.
00:34:05Next time?
00:34:08So you're saying you haven't sworn marriage out for good?
00:34:12I didn't say that.
00:34:16Ace.
00:34:19It's real nice of you.
00:34:21Thanks.
00:34:23See ya.
00:34:31All right, the bet's off.
00:34:35Oh, so you struck out, huh?
00:34:37No, no, it's not that.
00:34:38It's just, it's not cool.
00:34:40I mean, the girl's been through enough already.
00:34:42Three engagements?
00:34:43And besides,
00:34:46I kind of get why those other guys proposed to her.
00:34:48Whoa, hold on a minute.
00:34:50Are you saying that you actually do want to marry this girl?
00:34:54What I'm saying is the bet is off.
00:34:57Okay, look, I feel for the girl.
00:34:59I do, okay?
00:35:00But a bet is a bet, my friend.
00:35:02So if you forfeit, be prepared to ring in the new year in a four-by-six cubicle.
00:35:07So I won.
00:35:08If you could just say that I won.
00:35:10Okay, I don't think you understand.
00:35:11This dog is totally out of control.
00:35:13He's completely untrained.
00:35:14Last night he was up all night barking and whining.
00:35:17Sir, he's just a little stressed from being in a new environment.
00:35:20He'll settle down.
00:35:22I don't have time to wait for him to settle down.
00:35:24It's too much work, isn't it?
00:35:27You know, you're breaking their hearts.
00:35:29What?
00:35:30Your kids.
00:35:31I'm sure they don't care Jake stays up all night or won't stay or sit.
00:35:35They just want a dog.
00:35:36Okay.
00:35:37Well, it's not just about your kids.
00:35:38Poor Jake here.
00:35:39Thought he was getting out of his cage.
00:35:41That's not my problem.
00:35:42It's not your problem.
00:35:43You adopted him.
00:35:45You know, we got pamphlets here if you want to read them.
00:36:09No.
00:36:11I can't believe that guy.
00:36:12He just comes in here like that.
00:36:28That's great.
00:36:30Yeah.
00:36:32Okay.
00:36:34Sure.
00:36:36I'll tell Jessie that you can meet her on Saturday.
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:44That was just our first referral.
00:36:46Thanks to your good friend Aiden.
00:36:48See?
00:36:50I told you mingling was the way to go.
00:36:52It was like this.
00:36:54Like this crazy dream sequence.
00:36:58What are you talking about?
00:37:01He's the one.
00:37:03Yep.
00:37:05Aiden is the one.
00:37:11What do you mean?
00:37:13Like the one?
00:37:17The what?
00:37:18Like the one.
00:37:20Like the one.
00:37:22That's great.
00:37:23No, it isn't.
00:37:24No, it isn't.
00:37:26I finally meet the man that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with.
00:37:32And he's not marriage material.
00:37:34Are you sure?
00:37:36Viv, I told you.
00:37:38This guy's damaged goods.
00:37:41Oh.
00:37:42It's him.
00:37:43Don't answer it.
00:37:44Jessie.
00:37:46Look.
00:37:48You can't be sure.
00:37:50Not until you ask.
00:37:52Ask what?
00:38:00You want me
00:38:02to ask him
00:38:06to marry me?
00:38:07Think about it.
00:38:08Jess, this is perfect.
00:38:10You're always the one who's being asked.
00:38:12And look how that turned out.
00:38:13Hey.
00:38:14So, what if this time we switch it up?
00:38:19You do the asking.
00:38:21I cannot believe that you're serious right now.
00:38:23I cannot believe you're standing here telling me to propose to Aiden.
00:38:27Why not?
00:38:28What if he says no?
00:38:30What if he says yes?
00:38:32And doesn't mean it?
00:38:34Uh-uh.
00:38:35No way.
00:38:36No?
00:38:38I've been that guy.
00:38:39Been down that road.
00:38:40No.
00:38:41I can't do that.
00:38:44Yes, you can.
00:38:53So, she kissed you and now she won't take your calls.
00:38:57Sounds to me like you were casualty number four, my friend.
00:38:59You think so?
00:39:00I mean, this kiss, it was epic, you know?
00:39:02What does that mean?
00:39:04I have no idea.
00:39:05But, Aaron, I don't know what any of this means.
00:39:07Hey, look, man, this girl clearly has some issues, all right?
00:39:09I mean, look at her track record.
00:39:11If you ask me, the thing to do now is just walk away.
00:39:35All right.
00:40:05Do you like it?
00:40:25Do I like it?
00:40:28I love it.
00:40:31How did you pull this off?
00:40:32Well, I may have borrowed your photo for a little bit.
00:40:39About the other day...
00:40:40No, no, no.
00:40:41There's no need to explain.
00:40:42I totally understand.
00:40:45I was kind of naive to think that I was different from the other guys.
00:40:50And...
00:40:52you've been under so much pressure,
00:40:54and I don't want you to feel that from me.
00:40:57So, look, just give me your invoice.
00:41:00I'll take care of it now, and we can be all squared up.
00:41:02Marry me!
00:41:04Excuse me?
00:41:06I know.
00:41:07My track record hasn't been stellar,
00:41:09and I swore that I would never do it again unless I knew.
00:41:14And I know.
00:41:16So,
00:41:18Aiden McTiernan,
00:41:23will you marry me?
00:41:24Will you marry me?
00:41:32I...
00:41:38Oh.
00:41:41Okay.
00:41:43I have clearly just made you so uncomfortable,
00:41:46and I know that feeling,
00:41:48so don't say anything at all.
00:41:51And in fact,
00:41:53I've been trying to figure out this whole thing,
00:41:56so thank you for clearing it up for me.
00:42:00And as far as the invoice goes,
00:42:02yeah, I'll email you, and feel free to send a check,
00:42:05but honestly, no pressure at all.
00:42:07You have no...
00:42:08Yes.
00:42:09I'm sorry. What did you say?
00:42:15I said yes.
00:42:16Yes.
00:42:19Yes, you'll marry me.
00:42:22Yes, I will marry you.
00:42:28Are you sure? Because I can't have any pressure, I wouldn't...
00:42:42You asked him?
00:42:43Yeah.
00:42:45Isn't it great?
00:42:48Jessie, are you sure?
00:42:49I mean, it's not that I'm not thrilled,
00:42:52but I just think that...
00:42:53Mom, I have never been more sure of anything in my life.
00:42:58I promise you guys,
00:42:59I wouldn't put you through it this time if I wasn't.
00:43:03Well, I think you made a fine choice, Bolt.
00:43:06Thanks, Dad.
00:43:08She asked me to marry her.
00:43:10You're joking, right?
00:43:13No.
00:43:14No, I'm not.
00:43:15Wow, I am in awe of the power of you.
00:43:18I mean, to actually get her to ask you, that's...
00:43:20That's something.
00:43:21Thanks, Charlie.
00:43:23Are you sure about this, buddy?
00:43:24I mean, you did say yes, right?
00:43:28As crazy as it sounds, yes.
00:43:32Yes, I said yes.
00:43:34I mean, it was like...
00:43:35You had found the one.
00:43:39Yeah.
00:43:41Yeah, I guess so.
00:43:42Okay, look, it may seem all dreamy now,
00:43:44but wait until you get cold feet, man.
00:43:46No, I don't think that's gonna happen.
00:43:47You know why?
00:43:49When I think about marrying this girl,
00:43:53I feel the happiest I've ever been.
00:43:57All right, I gotta say it, I gotta say it.
00:43:59I am impressed.
00:44:00I mean, it's one thing to make a bet that you can get her to say yes,
00:44:03but to get her to ask you, that is something.
00:44:06Although, it still doesn't change the fact that you forfeited, right?
00:44:08I mean, you did call the bet off.
00:44:09Yeah, I did. I called the bet off.
00:44:10All right, then my hat is off to you.
00:44:13We have a bachelor party to plan.
00:44:15Yeah, I'm good.
00:44:29I'm off.
00:44:33So, you tell Mike yet?
00:44:37I forgot.
00:44:39I'm gonna tell him as soon as I get back from the tailors.
00:44:42You sure you wanna wear the same dress?
00:44:44Isn't that, like, bad luck or something?
00:44:47Relax, Viv.
00:44:48I'm taking it to Mario to get him ideas to make my perfect dress.
00:44:54Same dress.
00:44:55Ew.
00:44:57Just the girl I came to see.
00:44:59Mike, I was actually just coming to see you.
00:45:03I'm a guest. You were gonna tell me the good news?
00:45:05How did you...
00:45:06I heard.
00:45:08Mike,
00:45:10Mike,
00:45:11I wanted to tell you myself.
00:45:13In fact, I was just gonna drop off my dress and...
00:45:15He bet on you, Jess.
00:45:17What?
00:45:18Just like his car, he threw you into the pot.
00:45:22What are you talking about?
00:45:23Him and his buddies.
00:45:25They made a bet that you would say yes to his proposal.
00:45:30Wow.
00:45:31Mike,
00:45:33it's not funny, okay?
00:45:34If you're trying to get me to break it off with...
00:45:35I'm not lying, Jessie. I heard them.
00:45:37They were talking about what a man Aiden was for
00:45:40not just winning the bet, but getting you to ask him.
00:45:45I don't believe you.
00:45:48Believe it. He's a player.
00:45:50He played you right from the start.
00:46:04Hey.
00:46:05Hey.
00:46:07Your mom's been trying to get a hold of you.
00:46:09She wants to know if you want cornflour, blue or robin's egg for the linens.
00:46:13I don't even know what robin's egg is.
00:46:14I thought she was talking about food.
00:46:17Oh, no, I'm not supposed to see the dress.
00:46:19That's bad luck.
00:46:22So is betting on the bride.
00:46:25Don't you think?
00:46:28What?
00:46:30So tell me,
00:46:31did you actually have to go through with the wedding to win,
00:46:34or just get me to say yes?
00:46:40I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:45I know about the bet, Aiden.
00:46:51Jessie, it's not like that.
00:46:53No?
00:46:54So you didn't have a bet?
00:47:02I did, but I called it off.
00:47:06Jessie, look, I didn't say yes in order to win.
00:47:08I said yes because I wanted to.
00:47:10Because I love you.
00:47:13You know what? You're right.
00:47:17You do have one hell of a poker face.
00:47:31Jessie.
00:47:53Jessie?
00:47:56Hey.
00:47:57Tridge.
00:47:59Hi.
00:48:00Jessie, this is my fiance, Patty.
00:48:03Oh, I didn't know that you were...
00:48:05We just got engaged.
00:48:07At the theater.
00:48:09Oh.
00:48:11At the theater.
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:17I'll be sure to send you an invite.
00:48:23It was nice seeing you again, Jessie.
00:48:25You too. Have a good night.
00:48:26You too.
00:48:28Okay, bye.
00:48:29Bye.
00:49:00Hey, sweetheart.
00:49:02Hey.
00:49:09How's it going?
00:49:13I don't know.
00:49:18You know, your mom had quite the reputation before I met her.
00:49:23Yeah?
00:49:24In fact, I was lucky enough to meet her.
00:49:27In fact, I was not the first one that proposed to her.
00:49:32Three other guys had tried before me, and she turned them all down.
00:49:36Drove your grandmother crazy.
00:49:39But Susie refused to settle.
00:49:43I thought I was going to end up just like those other guys,
00:49:45with a bruised ego and a broken heart.
00:49:49But, uh, I was okay with that.
00:49:53You know why?
00:49:57Because if she didn't feel the way I felt,
00:50:00then I didn't want to be with someone who was just settling.
00:50:05I deserved more.
00:50:09Yeah.
00:50:12There's a lot of people you can live with.
00:50:17There's only one you can't live without.
00:50:20Hmm?
00:50:27Hmm.
00:50:39Hey.
00:50:41Figured I'd find you here.
00:50:43Hey.
00:50:45So, I wanted to tell you that you were right about Aiden.
00:50:53The engagement's off.
00:50:55Look, Jessie, I don't blame you for what happened.
00:50:57I mean, we all gotta test the pipes before we can be sure which way the water's flowing.
00:51:04I'm just glad it flowed back to me.
00:51:11It didn't.
00:51:14Huh?
00:51:17Things didn't work out with me and Aiden, but...
00:51:21I can't marry you.
00:51:25Okay.
00:51:27You deserve someone that is gonna love you as much as you love them.
00:51:41Hey, Jessie.
00:51:45You deserve it, too.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:52:05Hey.
00:52:07What are you still doing?
00:52:10Look, forget about work. It's two days before Christmas.
00:52:13Besides, the vegan was asking about you.
00:52:17I'll stay a minute.
00:52:19Alright.
00:52:20But, uh, don't keep her waiting.
00:52:22I'm saving a dance for you, buddy.
00:52:31Me and the guys have been talking about forming a band this year.
00:52:33Yeah, like, just jamming on weekends, whatever.
00:52:35Maybe play a gig. I don't know.
00:52:36It's sort of like a freestyle rap reggae.
00:52:38Excuse me. Do you know where I'd find Aiden McTiernan?
00:52:41Oh, yeah. He's just a second cubicle over.
00:52:43Oh, thank you. Excuse me.
00:52:46So, anywho, we are probably gonna be looking for some backup dancers.
00:52:49If you guys are into it.
00:52:50Do you go-go?
00:52:53There you are.
00:52:55Mrs. Patterson, what are you doing here?
00:52:57Oh, I'm just checking my instincts.
00:53:00Look, I saw the way you looked at Jessie the other night.
00:53:03And believe me, after three engagements, my radar is pretty astute.
00:53:08Now, do you really want to marry Jessie?
00:53:09Yes. Yes, of course I do.
00:53:11Well, great.
00:53:13Then let's plan a wedding.
00:53:14How?
00:53:15Jessie says it won't have anything to do with me, and I don't blame her.
00:53:18The bet. Did you win it?
00:53:21No.
00:53:22Once I realized how much I cared for her, I called it off.
00:53:28What's the best way that you can show Jessie that you meant it when you said yes,
00:53:32and the bet meant nothing at all?
00:53:36Marry her.
00:53:41Marry her!
00:53:48There you go.
00:53:50Lincoln!
00:53:54Santa's gonna bring you a good home, buddy.
00:54:00And Jake!
00:54:01And Jake!
00:54:16You think Dad will be wearing his cheesy Christmas sweater?
00:54:19I don't know. He was looking pretty snug last year.
00:54:24Merry Christmas, girls!
00:54:25Dad!
00:54:27Snazzy!
00:54:28Right this way. Come on in.
00:54:31What happened to the sweater?
00:54:32Oh, somebody hid it behind the furnace.
00:54:34Now, I will take these. You girls just go right on into the living room, please.
00:54:42Reverend Macy?
00:54:45What are you doing here?
00:54:52Mom?
00:54:56What's, uh...
00:54:58What's going on?
00:55:01Dad.
00:55:04Okay, if this is some sort of weird intervention...
00:55:07Jessie.
00:55:10Jessie, wait.
00:55:14There's something I need to tell you.
00:55:16Here? Now?
00:55:19On Christmas Day?
00:55:23You already admitted that you used me as a pawn.
00:55:27You're right.
00:55:30I did choose you as the one to place my bet on.
00:55:33And even though it was a lousy bet to place, I don't regret it.
00:55:38Because I never would have met you.
00:55:41Jessie.
00:55:43You made me realize that I'd rather face my fear of commitment than be without you.
00:55:49Because you're right.
00:55:52When you truly love someone,
00:55:54the thought of spending the rest of your life with them should make you feel the happiest you've ever been.
00:56:01And that's exactly how I felt the day you proposed to me.
00:56:14I just...
00:56:16hope that you feel the same.
00:56:24Jessie Patterson.
00:56:26Will you marry me?
00:56:35I...
00:56:36I...
00:56:39Jake?
00:56:40Hey, boy.
00:56:44You adopted Jake?
00:56:49I figured two troublemakers are better off together than alone.
00:56:53Two troublemakers are better off together than alone.
00:57:09Yes.
00:57:13You just said yes?
00:57:14Yes. She said yes.
00:57:17Yes that you'll marry me?
00:57:20Yes.
00:57:22I will marry you.
00:57:25She said yes!
00:57:37I love you.
00:57:48It's beautiful.
00:57:51It's beautiful.
00:58:21Let's just get right to it.
00:58:24Do you, Aidan McTiernan, take Jessie Patterson to be your lawfully wedded wife?
00:58:31To love her and honor her so long as you both shall live?
00:58:42I do.
00:58:43Do you, Jessie Patterson, take Aidan McTiernan to be your lawfully wedded husband?
00:58:48To love him and honor him so long as you both shall live?
00:59:05I do.
00:59:07I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:59:09You may now kiss the bride.
00:59:37We did it.
00:59:39We did.
00:59:41We went all in.
00:59:44Merry Christmas.
00:59:45Merry Christmas, my husband.
