It all depends on the seller.

If they need the money,
then all cash is the way to go,

- Uh, it's my only car,
349
00:18:59,094 --> 00:19:01,836
and it wasn't like this
when I set out.
350
00:19:01,923 --> 00:19:04,534
- Set out to?
351
00:19:04,621 --> 00:19:06,188
Hey, I don't mean to pry.
352
00:19:06,275 --> 00:19:08,364
You know,
if it's a big secret--
353
00:19:08,408 --> 00:19:10,888
- It's not a secret.
354
00:19:10,932 --> 00:19:14,849
I was setting out to, um,
uh, um, check on a friend
355
00:19:14,892 --> 00:19:16,720
because she's so sick,
356
00:19:16,764 --> 00:19:21,377
and no one can check on her
at the moment but me.
357
00:19:21,464 --> 00:19:24,380
- Mm.
358
00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:27,427
So you decided just to
chow down some pancakes first?
359
00:19:27,514 --> 00:19:30,473
- Well, I spoke to him, and--
360
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,433
- Her.
You said "her."
361
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:34,564
- Yeah, I just said that,
"I spoke to her."
362
00:19:34,608 --> 00:19:35,696
- Mm-hmm.
363
00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:37,263
- And she was fine
this morning,
364
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:40,222
so I didn't wanna drive
on an empty stomach,
365
00:19:40,309 --> 00:19:42,224
so I ordered pancakes.
366
00:19:45,271 --> 00:19:47,403
- Blood sugar levels,
lightheadedness.
367
00:19:47,490 --> 00:19:51,233
- Oh, yeah, of course.
368
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,843
- Why are you grinning?
It's a real thing.
369
00:19:52,930 --> 00:19:54,541
- Whoa, I know.
370
00:19:54,628 --> 00:19:55,890
Oh, that's why I can't skip
any meals.
371
00:19:55,977 --> 00:19:58,022
Yeah.
372
00:19:58,066 --> 00:19:59,198
You know, I checked the roads,
373
00:19:59,285 --> 00:20:00,895
and they haven't
cleared 'em yet,
374
00:20:00,982 --> 00:20:02,157

get comfortable.

order me another bagel?

Now, I realize that you have
two offers

what I intended

for the property,
it might help you decide.

- And what is that?
457
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:12,059
- I want to open
a year-round Christmas store.
458
00:24:12,146 --> 00:24:13,669
- Is that right?
- Yes.
459
00:24:13,756 --> 00:24:15,366
I've done my research,
460
00:24:15,410 --> 00:24:17,368
and year-round Christmas stores
do very well.

don't misunderstand.

00:24:29,729 --> 00:24:32,209
I love Christmas.
I really do.
465
00:24:32,296 --> 00:24:34,516
The homeowners' association
decorates the outside
466
00:24:34,603 --> 00:24:36,170

And you, young man, what are
your plans for the building?
474
00:24:57,626 --> 00:25:00,020
- My plan is to open
a gourmet chocolate shop.

00:25:00,107 --> 00:25:01,717
It's the perfect location,
476
00:25:01,804 --> 00:25:03,327
and who doesn't love
a good truffle, huh?
477
00:25:06,635 --> 00:25:08,245
- Pretty good chocolatier,
are you, son?
478
00:25:08,332 --> 00:25:09,812
- I've been cooking
since I was a kid,
479
00:25:09,899 --> 00:25:11,858
but yeah, chocolate's
definitely my specialty.
480
00:25:14,774 --> 00:25:16,427
- Well, I hope
you both understand

00:25:16,471 --> 00:25:18,821
that I'm not going to make
a decision right away.
482

on my mind right now.

484
00:25:27,308 --> 00:25:29,615

with my problems.
485
00:25:29,658 --> 00:25:32,095

Feel free to vent.
It'll make you feel better.
487
00:25:34,097 --> 00:25:36,709
- Okay.
488
00:25:36,796 --> 00:25:39,407
I just came back
from a breakfast meeting
489
00:25:39,494 --> 00:25:42,236
of the Main Street
Merchants Association.
490
00:25:42,323 --> 00:25:45,805
Now, every year, we have
a decorating contest--
491
00:25:45,892 --> 00:25:49,112
a battle, actually, between
the Main Streets of our town
492
00:25:49,199 --> 00:25:50,766
here in Castle Creek
493
00:25:50,853 --> 00:25:53,682
and our neighboring town
of Crystal.
494
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:56,642
- Well, that sounds like fun.
- Well, yes,
495
00:25:56,729 --> 00:25:58,426
it's supposed to be,
496
00:25:58,513 --> 00:26:00,515
but a lot of people
forget the fun,
497
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,778
and they let their egos
get in the way,
498
00:26:02,865 --> 00:26:05,085
which is probably why
we've lost this contest
499
00:26:05,172 --> 00:26:07,435
for the last five years
running,
500
00:26:07,478 --> 00:26:09,219
and my Tina and I,
501
00:26:09,306 --> 00:26:12,179

every year.
502
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:14,137

anybody down this year,
503

505
00:26:25,018 --> 00:26:26,497
- I couldn't ask you
to do that.
506
00:26:26,541 --> 00:26:29,109
- Are you kidding?
Christmas is my life.
507
00:26:29,196 --> 00:26:30,545
My parents are traveling,
508
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:31,938
and I won't see them
till after the New Year,
509
00:26:32,025 --> 00:26:33,330
and my roommate is flying home
to see her family,
510
00:26:33,417 --> 00:26:36,159
so basically, I'm free.
511
00:26:36,246 --> 00:26:39,249
I'll get a room in town.
I would love to help you.
512
00:26:41,774 --> 00:26:45,255
- It's a lot of work.
- I don't mind work.
513
00:26:45,342 --> 00:26:46,996
- Neither do I.
I wanna help too.
514
00:26:47,083 --> 00:26:49,129
- That's really not necessary.
- It'll be my pleasure.
515
00:26:49,216 --> 00:26:50,609
My parents are in Seattle

to bow out of this altogether,

00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:30,693
and I'll bring out the cocoa
and the cake?
692
00:35:30,780 --> 00:35:32,695
- I could get really used
to this.
693
00:35:32,782 --> 00:35:34,132
- Hmm.
694
00:35:42,662 --> 00:35:49,059
♪ ♪
695
00:35:51,801 --> 00:35:55,109
Well, you have certainly
brought the spirit of Christmas
696
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:56,676
into my home.
697
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,158
Tina would love
what you've done.
698
00:36:00,245 --> 00:36:05,511
I have not seen this
in years, not years.
699
00:36:05,598 --> 00:36:08,514
You see, we would rotate
the decorations
700
00:36:08,557 --> 00:36:11,430
from year to year so it
would always be different.
701
00:36:11,517 --> 00:36:15,434
- That's why I had so many
boxes to choose from.
702
00:36:15,521 --> 00:36:19,046
I came across a big box
that belonged to a Marjorie,
703
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:20,308
and by came across,
704
00:36:20,395 --> 00:36:21,657
I'd accidentally
knocked it over,
705
00:36:21,744 --> 00:36:22,963
but don't worry;
I didn't break anything.
706
00:36:25,922 --> 00:36:27,620
Are you okay?
Did I bring up something--
707
00:36:27,707 --> 00:36:29,317
- No, no, no, it's okay.
It's okay.
708
00:36:29,404 --> 00:36:32,581
You did a lovely thing here,
just lovely.
709
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:36,455
- Here we go.
- Oh, my.
710
00:36:36,542 --> 00:36:38,370
- Yeah, here.
711
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:41,068
- I'll tell you, if your cake
tastes as good as it smells,
712
00:36:41,155 --> 00:36:44,680
young man, your shop is gonna
do a lot better than just okay.
713
00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:46,900
- Well, thank you, sir.
714
00:36:46,987 --> 00:36:49,207
- And a candy cane
in the cocoa,
715
00:36:49,294 --> 00:36:51,121
that's a nice touch.
716
00:36:51,165 --> 00:36:54,995
- Well, a hint of mint
never hurts.
717
00:36:55,082 --> 00:36:57,867
- And your magic touch,
young lady,
718
00:36:57,954 --> 00:37:00,435
is gonna make your shop
a thing to behold.
719
00:37:00,522 --> 00:37:03,525
- That's very kind, Elder.
720
00:37:03,612 --> 00:37:04,874
- Let's see.
721
00:37:07,921 --> 00:37:10,445
Fantastic.
722
00:37:10,532 --> 00:37:12,055
Mmm!
723
00:37:17,017 --> 00:37:18,627
- How's the nose this morning?
724
00:37:18,671 --> 00:37:20,499
- Oh, still a little sore,
but at least it's not broken.
725
00:37:20,586 --> 00:37:21,848
Thanks for asking.
726
00:37:21,935 --> 00:37:23,328
- Well, that's good.
727
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:24,851
Just making sure
you don't have any excuse
728
00:37:24,938 --> 00:37:26,548
not to pull
your chairpeople duties.
729
00:37:26,635 --> 00:37:29,029
- For a second, I thought
I recognized compassion.
730
00:37:29,116 --> 00:37:30,683
- Yeah, that too.
731
00:37:34,208 --> 00:37:35,601
Hello!
732
00:37:35,688 --> 00:37:38,038
- Morning, folks.
733
00:37:38,125 --> 00:37:39,648
- Good morning.
- Morning.
734
00:37:39,735 --> 00:37:42,825
- Looking for anything
in particular today?
735
00:37:42,869 --> 00:37:45,393
- You, actually.
- Oh?
736
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,352
- Yeah, Elder Dubois said
that we might be stopping by.
737
00:37:47,439 --> 00:37:50,093
- Oh, yes.
Oh, of course.
738
00:37:50,180 --> 00:37:53,488
Um, Amelia and Vic,
nice to meet you.
739
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:56,274
- Likewise--we just thought
we'd introduce ourselves
740
00:37:56,361 --> 00:37:57,449
to the individual merchants
741
00:37:57,536 --> 00:37:58,667
before we set up
a group meeting.
742
00:37:58,754 --> 00:38:00,365
- Yeah, put together
a game plan
743
00:38:00,452 --> 00:38:01,888
for the Battle
of the Main Streets.
744
00:38:01,975 --> 00:38:03,542
You have any ideas this year?
745
00:38:03,629 --> 00:38:06,849
Winter Wonderland.
746
00:38:06,936 --> 00:38:09,025
We decorate the front
of our shops.
747
00:38:09,112 --> 00:38:12,028
One shop is chosen
to host the judges,
748
00:38:12,115 --> 00:38:15,641
and we contribute to the host
store to make it extra special.
749
00:38:15,728 --> 00:38:18,426
- Hmm.
- So just same every year?
750
00:38:18,513 --> 00:38:20,689
- It's just easiest that way.
751
00:38:20,776 --> 00:38:23,736
- Elder said there might be
some challenging personalities?
752
00:38:23,823 --> 00:38:25,303
- Understatement.
753
00:38:25,390 --> 00:38:26,913
Oh, I tease,
754
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,002
but, uh, let me know
what the others say.
755
00:38:29,045 --> 00:38:31,961
Rowena Marston
of the Pottery House
756
00:38:32,048 --> 00:38:34,268
is never shy with her opinion.
757
00:38:34,355 --> 00:38:37,706
Make sure you give her a call.
758
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:40,274
- Thank you.
- Okay, thank you.
759
00:38:40,361 --> 00:38:42,755
- You're very welcome.
Come on by soon.
760
00:38:42,842 --> 00:38:45,410
- You bet.
We'll be back.
761
00:38:50,763 --> 00:38:52,721
- That wasn't weird.
762
00:38:52,808 --> 00:38:55,681
Sounds like that Rowena at
the Pottery House is trouble.
763
00:38:55,768 --> 00:38:57,639
- What do you think
we got ourselves into?
764
00:38:57,726 --> 00:38:58,858
- Let's check it out.
765
00:39:01,643 --> 00:39:04,951
- So what were you gonna do
if this didn't work out?
766
00:39:05,038 --> 00:39:06,866
- Eggnog and unlimited
Christmas movies?
767
00:39:06,953 --> 00:39:08,650
- Alone?
768
00:39:08,737 --> 00:39:10,609
Some might say you got
a great personality,
769
00:39:10,652 --> 00:39:13,960
and I think you'd want to spend
Christmas with someone special.
770
00:39:14,047 --> 00:39:17,442
- So some might say I have
a great personality?
771
00:39:17,529 --> 00:39:19,792
- Great-ish...
772
00:39:19,879 --> 00:39:23,622
when you're not slamming doors
in people's faces.
773
00:39:23,709 --> 00:39:25,406
You know, too personal.
774
00:39:25,493 --> 00:39:27,408
Sorry.
775
00:39:27,495 --> 00:39:29,279
- It's fine.
776
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:30,890
Look, I was seeing someone,
777
00:39:30,933 --> 00:39:32,152
and we ended it
a couple months ago.
778
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,632
Just wasn't working out.
- Hmm.
779
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,547
- Why are you free
for the holidays?
780
00:39:35,634 --> 00:39:36,983
Guys who know their way
around a kitchen like you
781
00:39:37,070 --> 00:39:38,419
are usually in high demand.
782
00:39:38,506 --> 00:39:40,682
- Maybe, but it's impossible
when you work
783
00:39:40,769 --> 00:39:41,988
two full-time jobs.
784
00:39:42,075 --> 00:39:43,816
Plus, I already took off time
785
00:39:43,903 --> 00:39:45,687
in hopes
of closing on the building.
786
00:39:45,774 --> 00:39:47,646
- Two full-time jobs?
787
00:39:47,733 --> 00:39:50,562
How long you been doing that?
- A while.
788
00:39:50,649 --> 00:39:53,347
I invest everything back
in the chocolate business.
789
00:39:53,434 --> 00:39:55,262
- That is some serious
dedication to a dream.
790
00:39:57,046 --> 00:39:58,352
I admire that.
791
00:39:58,439 --> 00:40:00,528
- Well, you gotta do
what you gotta do.
792
00:40:04,967 --> 00:40:11,887
♪
793
00:40:13,802 --> 00:40:15,761

- Anyone here?
795
00:40:18,590 --> 00:40:20,200

797
00:40:26,946 --> 00:40:28,382
- Hi, Rowena.
798
00:40:28,469 --> 00:40:33,039
My name's Amelia,
and this is Vic.
799
00:40:33,126 --> 00:40:36,129
- So you're who Elder thinks
should be running the show?
800
00:40:36,172 --> 00:40:37,783
- Yes.
801
00:40:37,870 --> 00:40:39,045
- Yep.
802
00:40:41,264 --> 00:40:42,440
- Why?
803
00:40:45,094 --> 00:40:48,141
- Well, for starters, Amelia
is a whiz at decorating.
804
00:40:48,228 --> 00:40:50,970
- And Vic knows how to cook up
competition
805
00:40:51,057 --> 00:40:52,493
better than anyone else I know.
806
00:40:52,580 --> 00:40:56,802
- Hmm, color me impressed.
Not really.
807
00:40:58,891 --> 00:41:01,371
So you know we've lost
five years in a row, right?
808
00:41:01,459 --> 00:41:03,983
And you know if we won,
we wouldn't win anything
809
00:41:04,070 --> 00:41:05,637
but a little trophy
810
00:41:05,724 --> 00:41:08,161
and bragging rights
on a local TV show, right?
811
00:41:08,248 --> 00:41:11,556
I mean, it's not like
it's Jimmy Fallon or anything.
812
00:41:11,643 --> 00:41:16,648
- What is?
- True, true.
813
00:41:16,735 --> 00:41:20,086
All right, well, you wanna
do it, go get cracking.
814
00:41:20,173 --> 00:41:22,567
It's time we won again.
- Excellent.
815
00:41:22,654 --> 00:41:25,134
Okay, well, we were gonna meet
at the Coffee Corner later,
816
00:41:25,221 --> 00:41:26,875
and we'd love
for you to join us.
817
00:41:26,962 --> 00:41:29,487
- We'll see.
818
00:41:31,706 --> 00:41:33,491
- Okay.
Thanks.
819
00:41:35,841 --> 00:41:37,277
- Great place.
820
00:41:37,364 --> 00:41:40,759
- Close the door
on your way out.
821
00:41:40,846 --> 00:41:42,674
- Okay.
822
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:48,157
- Thanks for letting us
use your café
823
00:41:48,244 --> 00:41:51,073
for the committee
meeting, Chandra.
824
00:41:51,117 --> 00:41:53,075
We did say 6:30, right?
825
00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:57,166
- Yep, yeah.
- Don't take it personal, guys.
826
00:41:57,253 --> 00:42:00,256
The, uh, last meeting didn't
exactly inspire confidence.
827
00:42:00,343 --> 00:42:04,478
The merchants aren't expecting
anything different.
828
00:42:04,565 --> 00:42:06,654
- Well, let's see if we can
change your minds, huh?
829
00:42:06,741 --> 00:42:07,873
Come on.
830
00:42:11,354 --> 00:42:14,053
Well, thank you all
for showing up.
831
00:42:14,140 --> 00:42:16,359
We're excited to share
some ideas with you
832
00:42:16,446 --> 00:42:19,493
and, you know, get you home
as soon as possible.
833
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:22,365
- Has the meeting started yet?
834
00:42:24,890 --> 00:42:26,892
- Well, we were just
about to, Rowena.
835
00:42:31,287 --> 00:42:32,245
-
Oh, jeez.
836
00:42:41,776 --> 00:42:43,648
- All righty, then.
837
00:42:43,691 --> 00:42:47,173
As you guys know,
Elder has asked me and Vic
838
00:42:47,260 --> 00:42:48,566
to step in as cochairs
839
00:42:48,653 --> 00:42:50,655
of the Battle of Main Streets
contest.
840
00:42:50,698 --> 00:42:53,571
- And we know each year, one
of your stores is highlighted
841
00:42:53,614 --> 00:42:55,790
as part of
the Winter Wonderland theme.
842
00:42:55,877 --> 00:42:59,402
- It's my turn this year.
- Is it?
843
00:42:59,489 --> 00:43:02,492
Um, well, Vic and I
were thinking that maybe--
844
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,103
- Were you?
845
00:43:04,146 --> 00:43:06,671
About how to play up
my pottery shop?
846
00:43:06,758 --> 00:43:08,411
You might have consulted me
847
00:43:08,498 --> 00:43:10,109
before you started
thinking.
848
00:43:10,196 --> 00:43:12,981
- Uh, I think what Amelia
was trying to say
849
00:43:13,068 --> 00:43:16,202
is that maybe this year,
we shake things up.
850
00:43:16,289 --> 00:43:18,204
Huh?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
851
00:43:18,247 --> 00:43:22,034
I have waited five years for my
turn in the contest spotlight,
852
00:43:22,077 --> 00:43:25,515
so if your "big idea" involves
anything other than that,
853
00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:28,083
I suggest you return
to the drawing board.
854
00:43:28,170 --> 00:43:29,650
- Seriously, Rowena?
855
00:43:29,694 --> 00:43:30,651
Why don't you
just let them speak?
856
00:43:30,738 --> 00:43:31,957
- I'm letting them speak.
857
00:43:32,044 --> 00:43:33,306
- It's not always about you.
858
00:43:33,349 --> 00:43:34,873
- You need to stop this
right now.
859
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,526
- I'm perfectly calm.
- This is ridiculous.
860
00:43:36,570 --> 00:43:37,789
- Okay, guys.
- What are you talking about?
861
00:43:37,876 --> 00:43:38,659
Why is everyone
ganging up on me?
862
00:43:38,746 --> 00:43:40,530
- Guys?
Guys!
863
00:43:40,574 --> 00:43:41,836
- What are you talking about?
- This is ridiculous.
864

are way more difficult

Eating is a lot easier
when I order in.

we can salvage this.

Hey, how we doing on eggs?

- Um...a couple may
have escaped me.
1045
00:53:58,626 --> 00:54:00,585
- Okay, so an egg casserole
is out of the question.
1046
00:54:00,628 --> 00:54:02,761
What about, uh--in the mood
for pancakes?
1047
00:54:02,848 --> 00:54:05,329
- Always.
- All right.
1048
00:54:05,416 --> 00:54:06,678
Hey, can you check
those cabinets
1049
00:54:06,765 --> 00:54:07,940
for red and green
food coloring?

Okay.

- Red and green.
What's this for?
1052

- We're not just
making pancakes.
1053

We are making Nana's famous
Christmas ornament pancakes.
1054

pretty amazing.

- Oh, she was.
1056
00:54:28,743 --> 00:54:30,179
She used to tell me stories

1058

doesn't help matters much.

- Well, I'm so sorry.
1105

"celebrate"?

- Well, every year, you use
the Winter Wonderland theme
1146
00:59:12,505 --> 00:59:13,724
because it gives each of you
an opportunity
1147

1148
00:59:15,508 --> 00:59:17,379

Each of your businesses

not to mention we want you
to escort the judges.
1171
01:00:18,919 --> 01:00:23,881
- So the cameras would begin
and end at my shop?
1172
01:00:23,924 --> 01:00:26,971
And I would be with the judges
for the whole entire time?
1173
01:00:28,494 --> 01:00:31,453
I guess that seems fitting.
1174
01:00:31,540 --> 01:00:34,456
