Look, preston, if this is
- Your way of trying to make up

- Of suing clarion candy last
- Year --
oh, please, stop, stop, stop.
- Don't be ridiculous, all right?
- Your case was weak, okay?
- And -- and -- and what?
- You thought i would come in here

- Like out of the goodness of my
- Heart?
- Look, blair, the truth is, i got
- Way more clients than i could
- Possibly handle, all right?
- And you've got... none.
Truth is, preston, you can
- Leave.
All right, blair, look, look.
- Stop. Okay.
- Need your help, all right?
- Got a lot of sensitive cases
- Coming up, and, you know,
- Honestly, i could use a good
- Lawyer.
- And you know, as much as this
- Pains me to say, you're one of
- The best.
- And, again...
- You're broke.
I got a few delinquent
- Accounts, but...
- sighs]
- What kind of clients are you
- Talking about?
- Uncle duck, man, i really
- Appreciate you coming over, man.
Well, you know, i am your --
- Your best man.
Yeah, you are.
So, the wedding's happening

Yeah. Christmas wedding --
- Three weeks.
All right, congratulations.
No.
No?
I-i mean, yes.
- Look, uncle duck, i-i cannot
- Wait to be marci's husband.
- [[[Chuckles]
it's just -- look, man, with
- Christmas coming and the
- Wedding, marci's selling her
- Place and moving down here.
- And since we're getting married
- For christmas now and this place
- Has been a little rundown -- and
- "ve been meaning to fix it up.
- Just haven't got around to it.
- And you know marci, and i can
- Tell that she is not really keen
- On living here, so i was gonna
- Surprise her with some
- Renovations.
- But renovations cost a lot of
- Money.
- Then preston offered me a job to
- Come work for him, and the money
- Would be good.
- But i just don't understand how
- M gonna get all this done in
- The next three weeks!
- Oh, my god, uncle duck.
- Just want to marry marci!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Preston offered you a job?
Yeah.
And what did you say?
I told him i was gonna think
- About it.
And have you told marci?
No.
Oh, boy.
- Ohh.
- You gonna decorate that tree
- Before marci gets here?
- Nothing a chandler woman hates
- More than a naked christmas
- Tree.
Uncle duck, what am i gonna
- Do?
Well, first thing you're
- Gonna do is pull yourself
- Together and be happy, 'cause in
- Three weeks, you're gonna marry
- The girl of your dreams.
- And next, you're gonna call
- Preston.
Yeah?
Mm-hmm. And you're gonna name
- Your price, 'cause if he wants
- You to work for him -- look, he
- Needs you.
- Trust me.
- And he will pay.
Mm-hmm. Nope.
- M calling it all off.
And after that, you're gonna
- Call marci and tell her you're
- Working for the cousin she
- Despises, loathes, and abhors.
- [[[Sighs]
but what the heck?
- While you're doing all of that,
- You're gonna get this place in
- Tip-top shape with the help of
- Good old uncle duck.
Unc, i really appreciate it,
- But... this is a lot of work for
- Two guys.
Well, can you afford
- Contractors?
- Uh-huh.
Right.
Right.
Anything else?
Mm-hmm, one more thing --
- You want to put some clothes on
- That naked tree?
- [[[Sighs]
- doorbell rings]
- "deck the halls" plays]
you are kidding.
- It's not that i am not happy to
- See you.
- - -- I-i'm ecstatic that
- You're here, really.

- An issue with the age
- Difference -- i mean, age only

- You know?
Well, i've never met any of
- Your friends.
- "Ve never met your family.
- Every time we go out in public,

- About our future, you change the
- Subject.
Want some more tea?
- [[[Chuckles]

Honey, you know...

- He's with blair.
- They're doing something nice.
And that is why i say that we
- Need more men in this family.
You know what?
- This tree is perfection!
Unh-unh, stephanie.
- That's not what you said when i
- Showed it to you the first time.
- You said it was not "full"
- Enough.
But you were standing in
- Front of it.
- Couldn't see the whole thing.
- [[[Scoffs]
i'm just saying.
Oh, girls, you know what?
Huh?
It's just like old times,
- Isn't it?
Yeah.
- Speaking of old... some of these
- Ornaments are just about as old
- As you are, myra.
You better stop it.
- Both laugh]
oh, my goodness.
Huh?
Do you remember this one?
- Mother gave this to me when i
- Was 3 years old.
What? No.
- Mother gave this to me when i
- Was 5.
Unh-unh. You're both wrong.
- Mom gave that to me, her
- Favorite child --moi-- when
- was 7 years old.
Oh, unh-unh.
- See, a lot has changed since we
- Were 3, 5, and 9.
Speak for yourself.
But you know what?
- We're still spending christmas
- Together...
yes, we are.
- ......just like we promised.
- And we haven't missed one yet.
- Am i right about it?
And we're not going to miss
- One, right?
You got that right, girl.
Group hug.
Oh!

oh, blair.
- Have a seat.
Thank you.
So...
- sniffles]
- When do you want to start?
Hold on, preston.
- There's one big issue that we
- Have not resolved yet.
- It seems to me that you're in a
- Bit of a lurch and you really
- Need my help.
Mm.
It also seems to me that you
- Have a really big caseload that
- You're trying to dump on me.
- Now, with that being the case, i
- Think it's time that we talk
- Dollars.
- Now, i've done pro bono work in
- The past, but that was by
- Choice.
- There isn't a firm in atlanta
- That won't pay handsomely for
- My...

- ...services.

- When do you want to start?

so, as you can see,
- Jewel advertising will go above
- And beyond to meet the needs of
- Friendly family floral in a
- Cost-efficient, creative, and
- Groundbreaking manner.
Ditch this display.
Oh.
You're a go-getter, aren't
- You?
Well, i think to think that i
- Am, yes.
I like that in a woman.
Oh.
I like your ideas, too.
Thank you. Well --
but you realize that
- Advertising is a male-dominated
- Industry?
I do realize that.
In fact, the other agency
- That i'm considering is run by a
- Man.
Oh.
He's good, but he's not a
- Woman.
Oh.
I like to see women in
- Leadership roles, women who --
- Oh! -- Don't have to answer to a
- Man.
Oh.
I say, let the man answer to
- The woman.
Right on, sister.
- Yeah.
You're hired.
Oh, well, thank you.
- Thank you so much.
How soon can you get started?
Uh, right away, actually.
Excellent.
- "Ll have my attorneys draw up
- All of the paperwork, and then
- We're gonna schedule a series of
- Meetings over the next couple of
- Weeks and --
well, when i said "right
- Away,"i meant"right away after
- Christmas."
Christmas.
Well, yes, i actually have to
- Leave for atlanta next week, and
- While i'm there, um, i'm getting
- Married.
Oho! Okay.
- Was never one to get married,
- But congratulations.
- Best wishes.
- Blah, blah, blah.
- So, i guess we'll just set
- Everything up when you get back
- To new york.
Or we could do it while i'm
- In atlanta.
- You know, e-mail, skype --
- Modern technology -- it's like
- Being there.
Not really. Mnh.
- But if we must.
- All right, i'll have the
- Paperwork to you in a few days.
Okay, great.
- Listen, i'll look forward to
- Getting --
uh-huh. Bye-bye.
Okay. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm. Ciao.
Okay.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
So, preston gave me a week to
- Formally accept his offer.
So?
And i ain't gonna lie --
- The money's good.
- [[[Chuckles]
and when i say "good," i mean
- "fantastic."
Okay, so, what's the problem?
Well, the problem is, it's
- Preston.
- Do you remember how he tricked
- Marci last year to -- to
- Represent clarion candy, knowing
- They were in hot water?
Yeah.
Yeah. And how he got my
- Client to drop the lawsuit
- Against him by using his little
- Henchmen to scare all the other
- Employees out of joining the
- Suit.
Yeah. So what?
- He plays hardball.
It's not just that, duck --
- He tries to belittle people,
- Tries to make them feel
- Inferior.
No one can ever make you feel
- Inferior without your consent.
- Mm.
Did you just make that up?
No.
Who said it -- gandhi, mlk?
Eleanor roosevelt.
- Yeah.
Okay.
- Like i was saying, i just don't
- Think i can do it.
- Don't know if i can bow down
- To another man like that.
Mm, too much pride, huh?
- Would always rather be happy
- Than dignified...
- "jane eyre," charlotte bronte.
Okay.
- Like i saying, was i just don't
- Want to feel like a sellout, you
- Know?
Come on, blair.
- You're not a sellout -- you're
- Making a smart business move and
- Making money.
Yeah, well, mo money

Yeah, that's sweet.
I mean, unless you got

- Um, my fiancé has gone to a lot
- Of trouble to renovate his
- Parents' home here in atlanta,
- And -- and it would mean a lot
- To him -- actually, it means a
- Lot to me, also.
So let me get this
- Straight -- you're gonna give up
- What you want for your fiancé?
Well, not for him -- forus.
- That's what a relationship is
- All about, fiona.
- But, i mean, i also understand
- If that means that i'm not the
- Right person for you.
Oh, quiet, girl.
- Look, i'm not gonna change my
- Mind about wanting somebody
- In-house, but i'll allow you to
- Partner with that other firm --
- You know, the one whose creative
- Work i liked better than yours?
- You can partner with them while
- You stay in atlanta and play
- House with hubby.
- But your retainer goes back to
- The original amount.
Okay, that -- that -- that's
- Perfect.
- That's fine.

- Know what it is.
- Indistinct conversation]
okay, come here.
- Come on.
- So, the other day, i get a phone
- Call.
I get the feeling marci
- Thinks i'm strapped for cash.
Youarestrapped for cash.
But i don't want her thinking
- That.
- Mean, look, she keeps talking
- To me about moving to new york
- And s-saving on repairs.
So now you have to tell
- Marci.
More importantly, i got to
- Take that job with preston.
Uh-oh!
Are you crazy?!
- You can't tell blair about adam.
I know i can't.
- That's what i just said.
Do i need to remind you that
- This is the same man who came
- Here last year and tried to come
- Between you and blair?
No kidding.
And he tried to steal your
- Company.
You think i don't know that?
Okay, so, what you need to do
- Is just hold off on signing the
- Contract until you have a chance
- To talk to -- to blair about it
- And make sure everything's okay.
No, i can't do that.
- Can't hold off on signing the
- Contract.
Okay, well, sign the
- Contract, and then talk to him
- And tell him about the deal.
Can't do that, either.
- [[[Sighs]
- Well, go in there and just tell
- Him right now.
- Fine.
- Have the answer -- you figure
- This out for yourself.
Wow, elizabeth, you've been
- Really helpful.

Preston.
Your office will be ready

It's not bad -- not bad at
- All, preston.
I know, blair. I know.
- Oh! Mm.
- Meant to, uh, tell you
- Something.
- Want to introduce you to, um,
- My office manager/personal
- Assistant/you -- you know.
- Um, she's a point of contact if
- You have any problems, okay?
- Now, you can always come to me,

- Didn't.
- Um, baby?
- Mean...
- grunts]
- Yes.
Well, hello, blair.
Charlene, what are you doing

Well, the same reason as you,

Mmm.
So, are you two...
blair, we need you to go
- Through these cases and set up
- Timelines by the end of the day.
- Lawsuits with the biggest
- Payoffs should be ranked

Mm.
That means we do those first.

As a matter of fact, i did,
- Along with every other number,
- But i only kept one.
Who checked you out?
I'm about to be a married
- Man.
Wow. I'd love to see the
- Woman who finally got you to
- Settle.
Oh, you'll meet her.
I hope so.
Yeah.
Excuse me one moment.

You know, i bought one just

okay, well, it's not yours.
- Footsteps]
you know, if i would have
- Known you were coming, i would
- Have invited more of my
- Ex-girlfriends and really gave
- You a show.
Listen, i just needed to make
- Sure that you were not a
- Two-timer, okay?
I get it.
- You love your mother, and you
- Don't want to see her get hurt.
- But that makes two of us.
- [[[Sighs]
do you want to talk about it?
Yeah.
Look, a year ago, if somebody
- Would have told me i'd be
- Engaged [chuckles] let alone to
- woman 20 years older than me,
- probably would have called
- Them crazy or on drugs, but your
- Mother, she just -- she reeled
- Me in, marci... you know,
- Unlike any other woman.
- And she makes me a better
- Person.
- Just hope that i can do the
- Same for her.
Well, time will tell, won't
- It?
Yeah, i guess it will.
- So, do i have your blessing?
- [[[Chuckling] does it matter?
Not really.
- Chuckles]
you know, you're -- you're,
- Um, you're a really good dancer.

- [[[Chuckles]
- Not just that -- just being
- There for me.
- It means a lot to me.
Well, your father was a fine
- Man, blair, and he raised you to

- Honey.
Mm.
You know, honey, people used
- To tease me all the time about
- Me wanting you to get married.
- [[[Chuckles]
and it was -- it was more
- Than your just finding a man,
- The big, fat engagement ring,
- The wedding.
Yeah.
It was about you finding
- Love...
mm.
- ......real love, the kind of
- Love that keeps you up at night
- And keeps a smile on your face
- All day long...
- The kind of love your daddy and
- had.

you are so silly.
- And in 24 minutes, it will be
- Our wedding day.
- [[[Chuckles] i know.
- Can you believe it?
- Oh!
Yes and no.
- "Yes" is because i've always
- Loved you.
- And "no" because i didn't think
- You would love me until last
- Year.
We wasted so much time.
I don't want you to think of
- It that way.
- Mean, i always knew that we
- Were meant to be together -- it
- Just wasn't up to us to decide
- When and where it was gonna
- Happen.
Yeah.
- Know.
- But just think -- all the
- Memories we could have made if
- We had just...
all the new memories we're
- Gonna make.
- Marci, the past doesn't
- Matter -- only now, only
- Tomorrow.
Yeah. Me too.
- Hey, why don't you turn that
- Phone around and give me a tour
- Of my future home?
Oh, look at the time.
- And it's almost midnight.
- Isn't there some kind of rule
- That you're not supposed to see
- The bride before the -- the
- Wedding?
Oh, my goodness, yes, yes.
- Okay.
- Love you.
- Will see you tomorrow.
It's a date.

- You know i do a lot of pro bono
- Work, right?
You do.
Well, that's what i've been
- Doing the past few months, and
- My -- my firm has taken a hit
- Financially.
- "Ve exhausted most of my
- Savings with the house and --
well, i tried to tell you.
I know.
- Just let me finish.
Okay.
With the wedding and all the
- Other expenses, that pretty much
- Tapped me out.
- Another lawyer came on...
- [[[sighs]
- ......and gave me an offer i
- Couldn't refuse.
Okay.
I signed with preston, marci.
Preston -- preston, my slimy,
- Conniving, "tried to ruin my
- Life and my career and -- and --
- And -- and my reputation"

That's the one.
Really, blair?
- How could you do this?
- You were gonna work with preston
- Without telling me, blair?
Baby, i needed the money.
How could you?
I needed the money.
If you needed the money, you
- Should have came to me and said
- Something!
- We could have worked through
- That together.
- That's what this is all about --
- Together.
Baby, i know --
we don't start a relationship
- Together on a lie or betrayal.
- That's not how this works.
It wasn't lying!
But that's what you did!
I-i was doing what i had to
- Do, babe!
Really?
- My contract alone could have
- Supported the two of us.
- You didn't have to go work for
- Preston.
What contract?
That's what i was gonna tell
- You.
- You remember that floral
- Contract?
Yeah.
Well, okay, i got that.
Okay.
There were just a few details
- That needed to be worked out.
- She wanted me to come to
- New york, and i --
ah, ah, ah, ah. New york?
Yes.
So, that's what you've been
- Trying to get me to move to
- New york for.
Well, i mean, i wanted us to
- Go live in new york, but you
- Told me about your -- your
- Parents' home and how important
- That was, and so, no.
So you didn't sign the
- Contract?
Well, i-i said no to new y--
- She -- there's a firm, a partner
- Firm...
okay.
- ......that -- uh, they were
- Gonna do the creative in
- New york, and i was gonna stay
- Here...
in atlanta.
- ......and work.
Yes.
So, what's the problem?
The firm is adam's.
Adam.
Yes, adam.
Adam reed?
Adam reed.
The same little snake that
- Almost came between us last
- Year?
- [[[Sighs] i'm sorry, blair.
How can you work with him?
But you're working for
- Preston!
Oh, so you mean to tell me
- Working for preston is like you
- Working with adam?!
I don't know! Is it?!
- You lied to me!
I didnotlie to you!
You did -- you didn't tell me
- The truth!
- Lie is a lie, right?
- We're basically starting all of
- This based on a lie!
No.
I'm so glad i didn't sell
- That loft.
- Oh, i'm so glad!
Wait a minute.
- You didn't sell the loft?
- So, this whole time, you've been
- Playing me?
That's not --
you never intended to move to
- My parents' house, did you?!
Keep your voice down.
I'm not keeping my voice
- Down, marci!
That is not what i meant.
That is exactly what you
- Meant!
- And i'm glad we had this little
- Chat, because i don't want to be
- Married to a woman...
keep your voice --
- ......that does not trust me,
- And let alone can't be trusted!
What in the world is going on
- In here?!
- You could hear both of you out
- In the sanctuary!
Oh, my god.
- The both of you need to calm
- Down.
Hey, what's wrong?
Oh, my goodness.
- The people are arriving.
- And -- and this wedding is gonna
- Start in less than an hour.
- [[[Sniffles]
oh. Oh, my god.
- My baby, what's wrong?
- [[[Crying]
what's wrong, sweet?
I don't think there's gonna
- Be a wedding.
No.
Yes, there is.
No, no.
There will be no wedding.
No.
Oh, wait.
There's gonna be a wedding.
- Planned the wedding.
- There is going to be a wedding.
Marci, marci.
Oh, god.
What's the matter?
You know marci.
Yeah. Yeah, i-i-i know marci,
- And i know you.
- You're supposed to be getting
- Married.
No, there ain't gonna be no
- Wedding, duck.
Oh, come on, blair.
- Come on.
- Not -- not now.
All right, let's have a seat.
I don't really --
sit down.
- [[[Sighs]
sit down.
Mnh.
Marci...
- You said, "i've always dreamed
- Of a man like blair -- actually,
- Blairisthe man i always
- Dreamed of."
- You said that just last night.
- And, blair, you said, "marci,
- "ve always loved you."
- You said that last year on
- Bended knee when you proposed to
- My daughter -- yes, you did, and
- You meant it.
- And now the two of you want to
- Sit here like simpletons and
- Pretend that those words and
- Those feelings don't matter.
- And why?
- Because both of you were willing
- To swallow your pride and work
- For people you detest to help
- Each other out.
- Now, did you go about it the
- Right way?
- No, you did not.
- But i see love written all over
- Those actions.
- See it. We all see it.
- Now, let me tell you something,
- All right?
- Life is short...
- And love is everything.
- It's not to be toyed with or
- Taken for granted.
- Why do you think you've taken so
- Long to get married?
- Because you wanted to be sure --
- You wanted to be sure that you
- Found the one.
- And now you're just gonna throw
- It away -- is that it?
- [[[Sniffles]
- feel like an idiot.
I do, too.
So, do you still want to get
- Married?
- [[[Sighs]
- sniffles]
- crying] i do.
- Sniffles]
- love you.
I love you.
- [[[Sobs]

- Wedding.

- Would i be if i didn't take my
- Own advice?

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

- You.
I'm sorry.

- You know, it's actually
- Refreshing.
- Chuckling] you know, i never
- Thought that i could love just
- One woman, and let alone be hurt
- By one.
- So, you know...
- Feels good to know that i can
- Experience that kind of pain,
- That kind of love.
Me too.
- You've made me a lot braver,
- Taken away that veil.
