Christmas in the Caribbean (2022)

[bunniefuu]

[Christmas music]

-[voice-over]

My name is Rachel Webb.

And I confess,

I'm a hopeless romantic.

I know, it sounds silly

with everything

going on in the world.

And you'd think by my age,

I would have learned by now.

But. I just love romance.

A few months ago,

the most

wonderful thing happened.

You see,

I'm a theatre critic,

and there I was reviewing

Twelfth Night

when the guy playing Sir Andrew

caught my eye and, well--

I felt head over heels

immediately.

And we've been inseparable

ever since.

It's wonderful.

And tonight--

tonight, I think he's

going to ask THE question.

-What do you mean,

THE question?

I hope you mean whether

you would like a martini

or some champagne with dinner?

-Mum, he's an actor.

He can't afford champagne.

-Ugh.

-No. I mean, THE question.

I really think he might be

actually about to ask me

to marry him!

-Oh, good lord!

Rachel, darling, I have been

trying to marry you off

for years.

But really, an actor?

Come on, you've only

known him for two months.

Don't you think this is all

a little premature?

-Mum! Gregory and I

are in love!

-Yes,

and I seem to remember

you saying the same thing about

the last one.

That, um--[sighs]

dreary politician.

Well, at least he had

a real job, I suppose.

-Mum. could you at least

pretend to be happy for me?

-Sorry, dear.

[sighs] Of course,

I want you to be happy.

Look, maybe you should

marry this one.

After all--[chuckles]

you're not getting any younger.

Hmm.

-Thanks

for the pep talk, Mum.

Have fun.

-I will. [laughs]

-We wish you

A Merry Christmas

We wish you

A Merry Christmas

We wish you

A Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Fingers crossed.

This is it!

[Christmas jazz music playing]

[muted conversation]

-[whistles]

[indistinct].

[background conversation]

-Hello, darling!

-Ahh--babe.

[smacks a kiss] Babe!

[chuckles]

I got the best news.

-Ooh, tell me.

-I got the part in

Pirates of Penzance

at the Coliseum!

-Gregory!

That is amazing!

I'm so happy for you!

Is it a big part?

-Well, you know, it's.

sort of.

Yeah, it's a key role.

Yeah, I don't actually

have any lines.

But they said they might

write something in for me.

-What?

That is still marvellous.

-It's good, isn't it?

-Yes, yes, yes.

[both] Mwah!

-I'm gonna have

a glass of wine.

-Umm, so is there

anything else?

-What?

-Oh, nothing.

It's just that in your text,

you um, you said that

you have something to ask me.

-Oh, my gee.

Ha! Almost forgot.

[laughs] Excuse me.

Excuse me, everybody.

Um, sorry.

Excuse me, sorry to

interrupt your dinner.

Umm, sorry, but tonight is

a very, very important night.

I know some of you

may recognize me

from the West End Theatre.

Yeah?

Yeah, uh--[clears throat]

Anyways, I just found out today

that I'm going to be starring

in the next production of

Pirates of Penzance

at the Coliseum.

[polite applause]

-Thank you.

Thank you, yeah.

I wanna say I thought this night

couldn't get any better.

You know, I hope it will.

Rachel Webb.

you make me feel like

I'm a multi-award-winning actor.

Which I will be, one day.

[laughs]

[romantic music playing]

-[gasps]

-Will you marry me?

[romantic music playing]

-Yes!

Yes, yes, yes.

-She said yes!

[cheers and applause]

-Whoo.

-Ohh.

-I love you.

-I love you. Mwah.

[church bells toll]

[sighs] This is it!

I'm getting married!

-[laughs] Darling,

I'm so happy for you.

Finally,

after all this time, [sighs]

just when we'd given up hope.

-Mum, it's my wedding day.

-Sorry, darling.

Habit.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Look, I don't want to jinx it,

but you are sure about this?

You're my daughter

and I love you,

but you have only known

actor boy for three months.

-Mum, his name is Gregory,

and it's been three and a half

months, actually.

-He wasn't very "hands on"

with all the planning.

-Oh, yeah, yeah,

but Mum, he was busy

with rehearsals.

You know how time-consuming

they are.

-I just want to make sure

you're doing the right thing.

-Mum, I am doing

the right thing.

I love him.

And I want a family.

I want to be a wife

and a mother.

-You will make

a wonderful mother.

[laughs] Oh, come on.

-Thank you.

-Let's get you married.

[laughs]

[whimsical music playing]

-Here we go.

-Oh, my gee.

[Rachel] Gregory!

Oh, Mum.

Wait, you're not meant

to see the bride

before I get inside

the church.

It's bad luck!

-[nervous chuckle]

-Wait, where are you

rushing off to?

You're meant to be standing up

at the altar nervously.

-Yeah, right. So, uh--

here's the thing, Rach--

you know I love you, babe.

I really do.

-Oh, I knew it was

too good to be true.

-I just can't.

-No! No!

-I was in there

waiting for you,

and it just didn't feel right.

You know what I mean?

We barely know each other.

We only met like what?

Two months ago?

-Three and a half, actually.

-Really?

It's just, uh--

you know, I've been so busy

with rehearsals, babe,

this is such a huge part for me.

-You don't have any lines!

-Yeah, but they said

they might write

something in for me.

I gotta be standing by, babe.

-Let's call

Gilbert and Sullivan

and ask for the rewrite,

shall we?

-[panting]

Can we go somewhere else

and have a chat, babe?

-Look, don't 'babe' me!

We can talk right here,

thank you very much.

So, you're telling me that,

after I pulled this wedding

together in record time

whilst you were off practicing

standing at the back

of the stage

being a glorified extra,

that now it doesn't feel right?

I mean, you told me

two days ago

that you couldn't wait

to get married

and have children.

What the hell happened?!

-All right.

Last night, I was having

a couple of drinks

with the lads--

-Oh, here we go.

-And I was thinking--

I'm an actor, Rach.

I need to be free

to follow my dreams,

and if I'm married

and have kids--

I think it'll stop

the creative juices

from flowing through,

and I'll never get

a great part again.

And the lads were saying

that everyone knows

that behind every great actor

is a nagging wife.

-Wait, behind every

GREAT actor is a NAGGING wife?

-Well, that's what--

-Well, you know what?

You don't need to

worry about that any more

because A, you're NOa great actor!

And B, I'm NOgonna be your WIFE!

-Babe!

-Don't even think

about it, actor boy!

-Another year

Away from home

What's Christmas day

When you're alone

The tree just lit

Its magic--

[phone ringing]

-[groans] Pfft.

[keypad beeps]

[Chloe] Well, finally!

I've been calling and calling.

-Sorry, I just.

just want to be left alone.

-[chuckles] Wallowing in this

won't help you, you know.

-[sobs]

-Oh, darling.

I am sorry.

He really was a louse,

wasn't he?

-[sobs] Yeah.

I mean, Mum, why me?

Why do I always have

such terrible luck with men?

I'm never gonna find someone

to fall in love with.

I'm not going to be a mom

and never going to

have a family.

-That's not true.

I don't know why

you have such bad luck

in the romance department.

He wasn't the right man for you.

You deserve someone magical.

Someone that

when you look at him,

it's love at first sight.

-Really?

-Really.

Now, I know you were

supposed to be flying off

for your honeymoon tomorrow,

and I hate the idea of you

sitting there all alone

with that depressing

little Christmas tree.

So I'm offering you

two choices.

One, you come down

and spend Christmas with me.

-[sobs] Oh, Mom.

[Chloe] Or two.

you pack your bikinis

and go off on that honeymoon

with a couple of

your girlfriends.

I know you paid for it.

Actor boy has no money.

It would be a shame

to let it go to waste.

-No, I just want to

curl up here by myself.

Forever. [sniffles]

[Chloe] I forbid it.

Come on now.

Some sun, a few c*ck,

some girl time.

Look, you deserve

some happiness,

and it'll do you

the world of good.

-No.

[Chloe] Think about it.

And don't cry too much.

He's not worth it.

And no one looks good

with puffy eyes.

[phone beeps]

-[sighs]

[sniffles]

[phone trilling]

Rebecca?

I know. He's an idiot.

No, I'm fine.

Look.

what are you and Amanda

doing for Christmas?

I've got a proposition for you.

[upbeat music]

So, here I am

on what should've been

my utterly blissful honeymoon.

But, instead of a dreamy week

with actor boy,

I'm with these two,

my two best friends

in the world.

Truth be told,

they're both slightly odd.

But they are faithful and loyal,

and I love 'em to bits.

This is Rebecca,

built like a supermodel,

but in fact,

a nerdy accountant.

Never married and claims to

never wanna be.

And this is Amanda,

the most feared

food critic in London.

Divorced and always on

the lookout for monkey business.

Over the years,

we've been through

thick and thin together.

So, even though my heart

has been shattered yet again,

and I am still looking

for that missing puzzle piece,

this place, this little jewel of

an island in the Caribbean,

looks beautiful.

And I'm gonna try and make

the most of it.

[camera clicks]

-What an amazing view.

-Yep, it is, isn't it?

-I'm kind of glad

actor boy walked out on you!

[laughs]

[clears throat]

Too soon?

-Don't worry, darling.

You're not going to

go through this alone.

-Thanks, girls.

-[shrieks] Hello!!

Hellloooo!!!

Helllloooo!!

Oh, girls, you made it.

I'm sooo excited.

Welcome to Belle Mont Farm!

I'm Eleanor, the manager.

But you can call me Ellie.

We're so excited to see you.

You're going to have

so much fun.

Now, which of you is Rachel?

-I am.

-Aww, we are so sorry

for your loss.

But we're gonna take

great care of you, okay?

Let me get your keys.

[shrieks] This is

gonna be so exciting.

-I want what she had

for breakfast.

[]

[Ellie]

How do you like this, huh?

You've got

your own private pool.

-[laughs excitedly]

[Ellie] Not too shabby, right?

Rebecca, Amanda, I put you

in those two over there.

[Amanda] Whoo.

-But this one is the best one,

and this one's for you, Rachel.

It's my favourite.

[all laugh happily]

-Come on, let's go.

Ladies, are you ready?

Welcome home!

Ta-da!

-[all gasp in surprise]

-[Ellie screams]

[shrieks] Don't--

I am so sorry.

I told the staff to clean it up.

I am so sorry.

-Ellie, don't worry.

It's absolutely fine.

-Really,

it's very sweet of you.

[chuckles]

-I know, why don't we all

go the terrace

for a nice cup of tea?

And I'll get them

to clean it up.

[lively chattering]

[Ellie] Isn't this fabu?

And you're welcome

to use the pool at any time,

it's so refreshing.

And the terrace over there,

that's where we serve the meals.

The food is amaazing.

And we have a pool gym

where you can work it all off

after if you need to.

[chuckles]

Isn't it the best?

-Yeah. It's-it's perfect, Ellie.

-Aww, Rachel.

You can really rest

and recover here.

Let the island heal you.

-Hmm.

-Knock, knock!

Oh, no.

I knew that this would happen.

-Amanda, I'm fine.

-No, no, no.

You're gonna put on

a sexy swimsuit

and get out there

in the sunshine.

-No, I'm just gonna hang in

here for a bit--

-[Amanda] No, no, no.

I'm not gonna have you

sitting in here.

Now, come on.

Put on this little number.

I'll see you in ten minutes.

I'll go and get Becca.

[birds chirping]

[cheerful perky music]

Hi.

-Hey! Come on in,

it's glorious!

-Yeah, I--

you kids have fun.

[chuckles] I'm gonna go

to the bar.

-You don't want to swim?

-Seriously?

The sun is not my friend.

The bar's in the shade,

and they have c*ck.

[chuckles]

What's not to love?

Hmm.

-[whispers] I'm coming.

Whoo.

-Come on, Rebecca!

-Noo!

[both] Come on! Come in!

[Amanda] Come on!

Come on!

[Rachel] You did it!

[laughs]

-Oh, you can

make it to the bar?

Okay. [laughs]

-We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

-Hi. I'm Rebecca.

-Hi, nice to meet you, Rebecca.

I'm Frank.

What can I get for you?

-Anything alcoholic.

Surprise me.

-Coming right up.

-Do you have one of those

little umbrellas?

[chuckles]

I like this bar.

-Amanda, where are we

gonna eat tonight?

You're the expert.

Find us somewhere good.

-Yeah, I'm on it!

-Hmm, when you do,

can we tell them you're

the food critic for The Herald

because then

we get a free dessert.

-I'll buy you

a dessert, Rebecca.

[Rebecca] Thank you.

-Oh, this looks good.

The Gin Trap.

-Did someone say gin?

-Good food?

-Yeah, looks like it.

-Boy, I love it already.

Let's go!

-I can never tell

if you're hungry or thirsty.

-Usually both. [slurps]

-Yes.

-All right, ladies.

Is there anything

Sexy Santa can do for you?

-Um, well--

actually, yeah.

[all laughing]

[funky EDM music]

[engine car revving]

-[gasps] Oh, wow!

[Amanda] Thank you so much.

Aww, lovely.

What a view! Amazing.

[chuckles]

[Rebecca] It's so beautiful!

Ooh, look! Gin.

[Rebecca laughs]

-[Amanda] Ohh!

[EDM music playing]

-Good evening!

Welcome to the Gin Trap.

You must be my 8:00 PM

reservation for three?

-Yes, Amanda Hartley.

-Wonderful.

I'm Monica, the manager.

-This place is beautiful.

-Thank you very much.

If you'd like to

follow me, please.

-This place is fabulous.

-Thank you. But wait

till you try the food.

Now, specials are on the back.

I can recommend

the lobster pasta.

It was freshly caught

this morning.

-Love lobster!

-Ooh, Amanda's the food critic

for the Herald newspaper

back in the UK.

-Becca!

-What??

I'm just so very proud of you.

-A food critic, huh?

Well, in that case,

I'll let the chef know

he'd better bring his A-game.

Let me give you a few minutes

to look at the menu

and then I'll get Tasha to come

and take your drink order.

-Thank you.

Becs, you're impossible!

-I'm sorry but you two

have the cool jobs.

When we come to a restaurant,

it's all about you,

and when we go to the theatre,

we casually drop in

that Rachel

is the theatre critic,

and we usually get

free ice-cream.

-Yeah, you casually drop it in.

We're usually hiding

behind a pillar somewhere,

dying from embarrassment.

-[laughs]

-Look, when we go

to the accountancy

and payroll festival,

you can tell them what I do

for a living, if you want.

And you might get a free pen.

-There's a festival for that?

-No, but there should be.

-Evening, ladies.

Can I get you some drinks?

-Oh.

-Yes, please!

-What about

a nice bottle of ros!

-Hmm, we have a lovely one

from the South of France,

perfectly chilled.

Are we celebrating

anything special?

-Umm.

[Rachel] Yes.

We're celebrating friendship.

-Aww.

-I do love lobster,

so I'm going to go

for the lobster.

I just--

I couldn't work it out.

I kept staring at him

and suddenly,

it dawned on me, I realized--

where I recognized him from--

I had been out with his dad

just the month before!

-No!!!

-Yes!!

They were both excellent.

-[Rachel] Oh!

-Amanda, I'm in awe!

-I'm divorced, not dead.

-Yeah, but you always

seem to get the guy.

And they're nice guys!

-Hm.

-That's because I let them know

who's boss and they love it,

and I can't help it

if they find me adorable.

-You are adorable. [laughs]

[Alessandro]

I see you all talking.

[speaks in foreign language]

-[man] Good to see you.

Thank you.

-Oh, you're a lucky man.

You enjoy the dinner?

[speaks in foreign language]

Everything okay?

Dinner was good?

-[chuckles]

[Alessandro speaks in

foreign language]

-[chuckles]

-[speaks in foreign language]

Welcome, ladies.

-Hello, my name is Amanda.

-[speaks in foreign language],

Amanda.

I'm Alessandro, owner,

and head chef, at your service.

-It should be ill*gal

to be so handsome and cook.

-Amanda!

I'm so sorry about my friend,

I'm Rachel.

-Hello, Ra--

[romantic music playing]

I hope that dinner

was to your liking.

-Oh--it was amazing.

I don't know what you do

to that lobster,

but it should come

with a warning.

It's addictive.

I can come back every day--

for the lobster.

-I'll be happy to cook you

dinner every day.

I notice

you didn't have dessert.

A chocolate souffl, perhaps?

It's my speciality.

-That would be amazing.

-It does sound amazing,

but unfortunately,

we're leaving.

-We are?

-[Rebecca] We are?

-We are.

-Really? So soon?

You enjoyed dinner?

-Oh, yes. No, it's been

absolutely lovely.

Unfortunately,

we do have to go now.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

[background conversation]

Thanks.

-[laughs]

-What just happened?

-I don't know,

but I might as well

have been invisible.

One look at you and

the rest of us ceased to exist.

-Yeah, Amanda, why did you

make us leave so quickly?

-Come on, everyone knows

when the thunderbolt strikes,

you exit.

-What?!

-Yeah. Come on,

everybody saw it.

He took one look at you

and the angels started singing.

-It was practically

in slow motion

with a soft filter.

-Then why leave so quickly?

I mean, he was kinda gorgeous.

-Absolutely!

And you're back on the market.

We've got to plan this.

Can't have you wandering in

willy-nilly.

You've got to be prepped.

-I'm not sure

I want to be prepped.

-Yes, you do.

I shall teach you my ways.

-Well, and is

one of these ways

just running off immediately

as soon as you meet someone?

-Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely.

Leave him wanting more.

He's not gonna be able to

stop thinking about you.

-She's right.

We left so quickly

I can't stop thinking

about that chocolate souffl.

Come on.

-What have I let myself in for?

[sighs]

I've just met

this gorgeous guy.

I mean,

who would've thought it?

Ahh, the way he was

looking at me and his accent.

Mm, kind of dreamy.

I mean, what if--

-Hello, you!

Oh, don't be sad.

Everything's gonna be all right.

-Oh, men, huh.

-Oh, you don't need to

tell me how useless men are.

No, indeed-ey.

Let me tell you my story.

Twenty years ago,

I moved to Florida,

I met this gorgeous guy.

Un-believable!

The next thing I know,

he's moved in,

right under my nose.

-Ohh. [chuckles]

-All of a sudden,

the romance vanishes.

Poof, gone.

-Aww, sorry.

-And not only is he

a giant worthless layabout,

but he's

a conspiracy theory freak.

-What?!

-[Ellie] Yeah.

Starts wearing

those tin foil hats

and saying the aliens

are talking to him

through the radio.

A total loon!

And just when I thought

it couldn't get worse--

-It got worse??

-It did!

I went to visit my sister

for a week.

One week! I come back,

and he's moved his three

illiterate, computer-playing,

conspiracy-theory buddies in.

-Noo.

-Good job I had a g*n.

-So, [stutters]

you shot them?

-Oh no, I just waved it around

and told them

if they didn't leave,

I would sh**t them.

Got rid of them.

-[laughs]

[Ellie] Spooked me out of

Florida. and here I am.

A little older,

a lot wiser.

Trust me, I know exactly

how men can be.

[laughs]

You feel better now, right?

-Yeah, I do.

-Misery loves company.

-[laughs] Yeah.

-Okay.

My work here is done.

-[sighs]

[crickets chirping]

[Tasha] It's a good thing he's

got us looking out for him.

[Monica] They'll soon realize

they're wasting their time.

[approaching footsteps]

-[sighs]

What are you two

whispering about?

-Oh, just

chocolate souffl.

-What?!

-I didn't like

those British women tonight.

Coming in here and practically

throwing themselves at you.

-[scoffs] They weren't

"practically throwing

themselves" at me.

I was just being nice

to the customers.

-Sure.

Well, it ain't happening.

I'm telling you now.

I'm not letting some woman

who just wants a fling

swoop in here

and break your heart.

Not on my watch, Dad.

-[speaks in foreign language]

My little, Monica.

Always looking out for me, eh?

Come on, let's turn in.

[speaks in foreign language]

-I'll lock up.

See you tomorrow.

-Night, Tasha.

-Good night, boss.

[car approaching]

[door closes]

-Good evening, David.

Everything okay?

-No problem, sir.

He's asleep.

-Great.

Be safe getting home, okay?

-Sure thing.

See you tomorrow.

-I'm going to bed, Dad.

-Monica, I appreciate you

looking out for me.

But not every woman

is out to get me.

-Oh please,

I may be your daughter,

but even I know

you're a catch.

Night, Dad.

-Good night.

[]

[sighs]

[crickets chirping]

[fountain splashing]

[Rachel]

It just looks so pretty.

-Oh! There she is.

The woman of the hour.

How did you sleep?

-Like a baby.

-Dreaming about

Prince Charming, is it?

-I dreamed about

that lobster pasta.

Yes, love.

-Amanda, I didn't dream

about anyone.

Can we just drop it?

-Oh, no, no.

We can't, no.

It is now our mission

to set you up with the--

thank you--

sexy Italian chef.

-I just broke up with someone.

I don't think I'm ready.

-Darling,

you were about to marry a man

you'd known for

three and a half months.

I've got cheese in my fridge

older than that.

-I don't. [laughs]

I mean, [clears throat]

she's right, though.

You need to get back

on the horse.

And he's really dreamy.

-You know,

we don't even know

if he was really interested.

-Oh, please.

Even the lobster could tell.

And it was dead and smothered

in delicious sauce.

-Well, even if

I were interested,

I am quite capable

of finding my own guy,

thank you very much, ladies.

-[laughs loudly]

Sorry, darling.

No, you have a talent

for picking losers.

No, this guy is perfect.

He's sexy, he's settled--

-He can cook!

-He can cook!

-You're not gonna give up,

are you?

-No.

-Okay, fine.

-Right. We need a plan.

-Oops, hello.

Sounds like you ladies

are planning a coup.

-Even better.

We're setting Rachel up

with the love of her life.

-What?!

One night on the island,

and you find a man. Girl!

-No, I just have

two very annoying friends

who won't take no

for an answer.

-Okay. So, what's the plan?

-Right. We've already

identified the target.

Now, we need to collate data.

Find out his routine.

Get to know his habits.

And then, we need

to meticulously plot

an accidental meeting.

-Oh my gosh, she is good.

So, who's the lucky guy?

-Alessandro,

the hot chef from the Gin Trap.

[chuckles]

-That's your target?

Oh, such a sad story.

You know, every woman

on the island

has crushed on him

at some point.

Guilty! But you know what?

You are perfect for him.

Wait, we've got time.

Ladies, grab your things,

dress for a workout.

I'm going to take you

straight to the target.

-Oh, God!

-I like to get here

really early

before anyone arrives.

[Rachel] What a view.

-Oh, just you wait, baby.

It gets better.

How's that for a view?

[]

There he is,

your dream man.

Every morning,

he runs down there,

and it's so worth

getting up early for,

I can tell you.

-[Rebecca chuckles]

-[sighs] Sometimes I come

down here with a cup of coffee

and just sit and admire.

[Amanda] Anyway,

back to the mission.

-Okay. All you've got to do

is jog down there,

run along,

"Oh, what a coincidence!

Fancy seeing you here!"

-Oh, I like your style.

Let's do this, girls!

[all panting heavily]

[Rachel] I can't believe

you talked me into this.

-[panting]

I can't believe I'm jogging.

I hate to sweat.

-Yeah, me too!

-[panting]

Listen, just remember,

be smiley, be sexy.

Above all, be smiley.

Oh!

-Ladies,

how nice to see you!

-Alessandro,

fancy seeing you here!

-Hi, Alessandro.

-If I knew

you were all runners,

we could have run together.

-[Amanda chuckles politely]

Darling?

Are you all right?

-[wheezing]

[Amanda] Do you want to

sit this out for a bit?

-Okay.

-We're gonna have to cut

this short.

Do you two mind

running on alone together?

-[Rebecca wheezing]

-Why do I feel like

we've just been set up?

-Yeah, because my friends

are great girls,

but subtlety is not

one of their strong points.

-Okay, so shall we jog?

-Uh, hey,

how about a walk?

It's just that I find it

difficult running on the sand.

-Of course.

Let's go.

-Good.

-So, what brings you

to St. Kitts?

-Oh, you know,

just a girls' holiday.

-No. I'm not buying it.

There is more.

Everyone who comes here

for Christmas has a story.

So, what's yours?

-Well, it's kind of a sad story.

-I'm listening.

-I was supposed

to be getting married,

but my fianc

had other ideas.

This was meant to be

my honeymoon.

-That is sad.

-Yeah, but you know,

I think it was for the best.

I actually don't think

he's the one at all.

-But you were

going to marry him.

-[laughs] I know, I know.

And I know how that looks.

But I really thought

that by now,

I'd be married with children,

and. I'm not.

I think I loved the idea

of being married

more than I actually loved him.

Ouch. Harsh.

Hmm.

-Yeah. Well, he left me.

-Good point.

He's an idiot. Okay?

[laughs]

-So that is my story.

What about you?

How come you ended up here?

-[sighs]

I came here five years ago

after my wife died.

-Alessandro,

I'm so sorry!

-I felt the change of scenery

could be good.

And it's a better

way of life here.

Plus, the kids love it.

-You have kids?

-[chuckles]

Yes, I have two.

You met Monica last night.

-Oh, wow.

She's your daughter?

-Yes.

-Well, gosh.

You must be really proud of her.

-I am.

She's just amazing.

So grown up for 19.

And then, I have a son as well,

-Oh.

-Rafael.

He's seven and wonderful.

Just adorable.

-How could you let me

prattle on about my sad story

when--I mean, you really

have a sad story.

-You didn't get

your happy ever after.

So, you're allowed to be sad.

But not today!

Today, you come with me,

and you choose your lobster

for dinner, okay?

-Okay.

-Come on, let's go.

Good morning, Bastian,

how are you today?

-Hello!

Good to see you.

My favourite chef.

How are you doing?

-[Alessandro speaks in

foreign language]

-Ah, I see you brought company.

-Wow! [laughs]

-This is Rachel.

A very special guest

on the island.

She's come to pick out

a lobster for tonight.

-Hi.

-Rachel,

welcome to paradise.

Now, let me help you pick out

a nice fat lobster just for you.

-Wow.

So, you've got to tell me.

What is in that sauce you use?

It's to die for.

-I couldn't

possibly tell you that.

Trade secret.

I tell you what.

Why don't you come a little

early tonight at the restaurant,

and I'll show you

how I make it.

As long as you promise not to

share the recipe with anybody?

-Yeah, rumour has it that

all the ladies on the island

have a crush on you.

-Well, you must be very special

because he doesn't

bring anyone down here.

-Ohh.

-[Bastian] Ahh. Here you go!

Special lobster,

for the special lady.

-[laughs] Thank you.

-Thank you.

-[Bastian] You're welcome.

-Bye.

You chose a great one.

-[exhales]

-Well, that's enough yoga.

How'd you get on

with the sexy chef?

-[Rebecca] Yeah, Rach.

-[laughs]

-I didn't have an asthma

attack on the beach

so you could keep stumm.

Spill.

-He's lovely, but.

you know what?

I just think

it's still too soon.

[Amanda]

Oh, she really likes him!

[Rachel] No!

-Yes, you do.

You've gone all coy.

-[Amanda laughs]

-Fine, he's fabulous.

I mean, he's just--fabulous.

-Oh, yes.

This is excellent.

[Rachel]

Well, he's got two kids.

You know that manager

at the Gin Trap,

that is his daughter,

and he has a younger son.

-Divorced?

-Widowed.

[Rebecca and Amanda] Aww.

-You didn't tell him

the real reason

we're here, did you?

-Shouldn't I have?

-Well, now he'll know

you're on the rebound.

-No, no, no.

He's not like that.

He is nice.

He's really nice.

In fact, he's invited us

to the Gin Trap again tonight.

-Yes! Chocolate souffl!

[chuckles]

And the potential for Rachel

to live happily ever after.

It's wonderful.

[Amanda] Yes.

This is going very well.

Now, gotta wear

something sexy.

-Okay.

[crickets chirping]

[Amanda giggles excitedly]

-I can't believe I let you

talk me into wearing this.

It's too much.

-It's just enough.

-[chuckles] If those puppies

don't get us a free drink,

I don't know what will.

-I can't do this.

-Oh, okay.

Don't panic.

I'll buy us our drinks.

-Darling, look at me.

It just dinner. It's fine.

-Promise?

-Promise.

You wanna borrow this?

[Rachel] Yeah. [sighs]

-There we go.

-[Rebecca] Ooh.

-Oh yes.

-That's gorgeous.

-[sighs] Thanks, girls.

I don't know

what came over me.

[Rebecca and Amanda giggle]

-Oh. Selfie, selfie.

-Oh.

-Okay. Everybody say

lobster thermidor.

[all] Thermidor. [laughing]

-Go, go, go.

Come on. Come on.

Whoo.

We're back.

-Oh.

Um--Hello.

[chuckles]

Hello.

-Good evening, ladies.

Back so soon?

-Hello, again.

We're here for dinner.

-Oh. Did you book?

-Um--no.

-Oh, I'm sorry.

We'll fully booked tonight.

Absolutely rammed.

I couldn't possibly

find space for you.

[Rebecca] Yeah.

Looks crazy busy. [chuckles]

-[chuckles]

-Rachel, you made it!

Good evening, ladies.

I saved for you the best table

near the kitchen.

But if you'll forgive me,

I will steal

your friend away now.

I promised to show her

something in the kitchen.

-Steal away. [chuckles]

-You look amazing.

-Oh, no.

This old thing.

Thank you.

[]

-[laughs]

Hi.

-Hmm.

-Cuddle up a little closer

Lovey mine

Cuddle up and be

My little clinging vine

Like to feel your cheeks

So rosy

Like to make you

Comfy cozy

Cuz I love

From head to toesy

Lovey mine

Cuddle up a little closer

Cuddle up and be

My little clinging vine

Like to feel your cheeks

So rosy

Like to make you

Comfy cozy

Cuz I love

From head to toesy

[Rebecca] [chuckles] To think

we almost stayed home

for Christmas.

-[laughs] I know.

And it is so much better here.

-I have to say it,

girls, thank you.

-Oh.

We've always got your back.

-Cheers.

-Cheers.

-Oh. [yawns]

I'm so tired.

Must be all the exercise.

I think I'm going

to have an early night.

-No. Oh, oh.

Yes.

[yawns]

Alessandro, could you possibly

give our friend a lift home?

-Of course,

I'll take good care of her.

-Oh. Thank you so much.

-Subtle, girls.

-Please.

-You're welcome.

-Good night.

-Good night, Amanda.

Good night.

-[Amanda] Lovely time.

-[chuckles]

-I like it here.

-It's hard to imagine

ever leaving.

-Why would you wanna leave?

It's like paradise.

-The company helps.

-Monica seems like

a very grown-up young lady.

-Don't get me wrong,

she can be

a bit of a handful at times,

but she's amazing,

considering everything

we went through.

-Yeah. It must have been

terrible for you all,

losing your wife so young.

I-I can't even imagine.

-It was tough.

It still is, at times.

-Well, I think you've done

a really great job.

You must be doing

something right.

-How about giving up

being a theatre critic

and becoming a sous chef?

-[laughs]

Well, you know,

I may have missed my calling.

All those nights wasted,

sitting in the back of a dark

theatre, reviewing plays.

-Must be exciting, though.

All these glamorous parties,

these opening nights.

-Well, it has its moments.

But, you know, I grew up

in the countryside.

I'm not really

a city girl at all.

In fact,

I'd be quite happy living a.

really simple life somewhere,

if I were happy.

-Are you happy right now?

-Very.

[crunch of wheels on gravel]

Thanks for the ride.

-My pleasure.

Rachel, if you don't have

other plans for tomorrow,

why I don't pick you up

and then I can

show you the island?

-On Christmas Eve?

-Do you have other plans?

-Um--Well, no.

Not really.

I mean, in the UK, we

usually just go to the pub,

get drunk and run home

to defrost the turkey.

-Sounds fun. [chuckles]

So that's a yes for the tour?

-Definite yes.

-Great.

So, I'll pick you up at nine.

-Right.

Good night.

-Good night, Rachel.

[crickets chirping]

[rumble of approaching vehicle]

[engine turns off]

-[Alessandro muttering]

[door opens and closes]

Monica, I thought

you'd be asleep by now.

-And what time

do you call this?

-I'm sorry. What?

-I guess it took you forever to

close the restaurant tonight.

I would have expected you back

ages ago.

-[scoffs]

All right, Monica. I get it.

You worry about me,

and I appreciate that.

But you are my daughter,

and I'm your father.

Rachel is a lovely woman,

and if I wanna spend time

with her, I will.

In fact I'm taking her

on a tour of the island

tomorrow morning

at nine o'clock.

Oh, if that is okay with you,

young lady?

-[scoffs]

-And now,

I'm going to bed.

And I suggest you do the same.

Good night.

[]

-[sighs]

-[door closes]

[]

[woman] It's been incredible.

-Well, enjoy your breakfast.

-Thank you so much.

-[Ellie] You're welcome.

-Morning, Rachel!

-Monica! Hi!

I-I wasn't expecting to see you.

Everything okay?

-Yeah.

Something came up

and my dad couldn't make it.

So, he sent me.

-He sent you?

-He said you wanted

to see the island.

I'm here to give you

the grand tour!

-Okay.

[woman] Thank you.

I'm really excited.

-Have a good one.

-Good morning, Ellie!

What a beautiful morning!

-Alessandro!

You're looking very perky today.

-It's gonna be a great day.

Have you seen Rachel?

-Oh, you just missed her.

-We made plans.

-That's odd.

-What?

-Monica came by.

I saw her talking to Rachel.

They got in the car together

and took off.

-I told her I'll pick her up

at nine o'clock.

-Oh. I'm sure

it's just a misunderstanding.

They probably off

having a lovely time.

-[screams]

No!

[ATV engine revving]

Slow down!

Monica! Stop!

Stop!

[screams]

-[Monica laughs]

[Rachel] [gasps] This isn't

exactly what I had in mind!

[screams]

No!

[continues screaming]

Stop!

[engine dies down]

-So, did you like it?

-Invigorating.

[Monica] Great.

Now listen up.

I'm telling you now,

woman to woman,

I'm sure you're a lovely person

and all that,

but stay away from my dad.

-I--I don't know

what you're talking about.

-Yes, you do.

I've seen the way

you look at him.

And believe me,

you're not the first, okay.

He doesn't need you.

He doesn't need anyone.

We've been perfectly fine

for the past five years,

just us.

So, just mind your own business,

finish your little holiday

with your friends and leave.

You hear me?

-Loud and clear.

[]

-Hello.

How are you today?

-[man] I'm great.

-Isn't it lovely?

[sighs]

-[murmured conversation]

-Hey, darling.

It's nice to see you out

in the daylight, Dracula.

You're the only person I know

comes to the Caribbean

in the winter,

doesn't try to get a tan.

-You know, if I stayed

here for like a year,

I'd probably get

some sort of colour but.

just a darker shade of pale,

so really, what's the point.

Anyway, you're seem to be

doing enough running around

for the two of us.

And I don't just mean

in the sun.

-I don't know

what you're talking about.

-So that wasn't

that sexy barman

that I heard sneaking out of

your room this morning?

-You're entirely mistaken.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

He wasn't sneaking.

He was crawling.

-[laughs] Oh, incredible.

[phone pings]

Oh, it's Rach.

SOS. She's in the lobby.

Are you okay?

Where have you been?

-She tried to k*ll me!

-What?

-Who?

-Monica,

Alessandro's daughter.

-That sweet, innocent girl

from the Gin Trap?

-Yes, that one.

She tried to k*ll me.

-How?

-She took me

on a "sightseeing tour"

in one of those death buggies.

-A death what now?

-You know,

she drove like a mad woman.

I had to cling to stay on.

I nearly got flung to my death.

She did it on purpose.

She wants me dead.

-Well, I can think of

easier ways to k*ll someone,

but it's original.

-She hates me.

She doesn't want me

to see Alessandro again.

She made that perfectly clear.

I mean, what am I gonna do?

[groans]

-Where have you been??

-I, uh.

-I know you took Rachel

somewhere.

What did you do?

[phone pings]

-Please tell me you're

not doing emails to work.

-No, just--something.

-Why don't you try booking us

on an earlier flight home?

-Oh. Come on,

it's not that bad.

-What if he did

send her in his place?

I mean, what if this whole

connection is in my imagination.

And actually, he doesn't

wanna see me again.

[Alessandro]

Hey, Rachel!

I'm so glad to see you.

-Uh--Well, there's

that theory gone out the window.

-Hello, ladies.

[all] Mm-hmm.

-I'm so sorry about Monica.

She told me what she did.

-Oh, I'm-I'm sure it was

just a misunderstanding.

I mean, everything's fine.

-You said

that she was trying to--

-She was just trying

to show me a different,

you know, side of the island.

-[chuckles]

-Well, I'm sorry.

She can be a bit

overprotective sometimes.

I've spoken to her.

-[Rachel] Oh, no, no.

I-I don't wanna cause

any trouble.

-No, you're not.

Look, we're having a barbecue

at the house for lunch.

Why don't you come?

-Oh, I-I don't know.

[Alessandro] Please.

I'd love you to come.

You both are more than welcome

to join us as well, of course.

-Oh. Thank you so much.

But I have a date.

-Yeah.

And you know, it kills me

to turn down good barbecue

but I have some stuff to do.

You should go.

-So, it's okay?

Why-why don't you come

around one?

-Okay, I'd love to.

-Great.

So, it's better I go

to get ready the barbecue.

See you later. Ciao.

[Amanda] Bye.

See?

-Oh, that's a connection.

[laughter]

-Well, I mean,

it can't be any worse

than this morning, right?

-No.

Just stay away from Monica

if she's holding barbecue tongs

or anything sharp.

Eeeh, eeh.

-[laughs] You should go.

Smooth things out.

But don't wear heels

in case you gotta run.

-[Rebecca scoffs]

-Thanks, Amanda.

[laughs]

[]

Now, that's

a Christmas tree.

-Come on.

Let's go see the kids.

Kids.

Rafael, this is Rachel.

-Hi, Rachel.

Have you time

to play catch with me?

-Ooh.

That sounds like fun.

Mm. Smells delicious.

Monica, thanks very much for

the tour of the island earlier.

I told your dad

how much fun it was.

-Sorry if I went too fast.

I didn't mean to.

-No harm done.

-Okay. Let's eat.

[]

[laughs]

Very good joke, Rafael. Bravo.

[laughs]

-I'm gonna start

washing the dishes.

-Thank you so much

for inviting me.

I have had such a good day.

[Rafael] Rachel.

can you help me, please?

-Oh.

-Hey. What do you need, buddy?

-I want Rachel to help.

I have to write

my letters to Santa.

Can you help me?

-Of course, I can.

-Daddy says

that I have to be reasonable

for what I ask for.

-Okay. Well, would you

like me to take a look?

Okay.

Right.

Dear Santa.

Aww! I think

this is very reasonable

for a seven-year-old.

-It's not too much?

I was going to ask

for a rocket ship.

-[laughs]

Well, a rocket ship

might be a bit too much.

But this is perfect.

-Oh, I have

one more thing to add.

-Okay.

-Don't look,

it's a secret.

-Okay.

-Hey, what are you two up to?

Hmm?

-It's a secret.

-Yup. It's a secret.

-Rachel, are you coming here

for Christmas day?

-Oh. Well, I wasn't planning to.

-You have to.

Right, Daddy? She should come

for Christmas.

-Yeah, we would love

if you spend Christmas with us.

-I mean, I'd love to.

But, I can't really abandon

Rebecca and Amanda.

-Bring them.

-Please?

-All right.

I'd love to.

We'd love to. Thanks.

-Yay! Now, Daddy, go.

We're busy.

-Okay.

[chuckles]

-[laughs]

All done?

-Yup.

-Okay. Well, you know what?

I think we should take this

and put it

on the Christmas Tree,

so that Father Christmas

can find it.

-Yes! Let's do it.

-Okay.

-Hey-yah.

-He's a sweetheart.

-[chuckles]

Do you have to

get back right now?

-Um. I mean, I'm gonna be

meeting the girls

later for drinks. But. why?

-I was wondering if you would

like to go out on a boat?

-On a boat?

-Mm.

-What, now?

-Why not?

Monica will look after Rafael.

And I thought it would be nice

to spend some time together,

just the two of us.

-I'd love that.

-[Amanda laughs]

-[Rebecca] You're terrible.

I can't take you anywhere.

Seriously.

-[Amanda] Hi.

-Try this.

Tell me what you think.

-[Rebecca] Mm.

Wow.

-Too strong?

-My eyes are watering,

and I can't feel my tongue.

It's perfect.

-Are you trying

to get us drunk?

-Would you like me to?

[Amanda] Um.

[laughs]

-Amanda, he's um.

[clears throat]

a little older than you

normally go for.

-I'm an equal opportunities

employer.

What can I tell you?

-[laughs]

Do you think you'll

ever get married again?

-Um, well, uh.

I don't know.

Maybe?

If I meet someone

who has the same

appetite for life that I have.

But till then.

Hello, what's your name?

-Winston.

-Amanda.

-Very nice

to meet you, Amanda.

-[Rebecca slurps her drink]

[sighs] Hmm.

-Delicious. Aren't you?

-[snorts and chuckles]

[]

-[chuckles]

How am I supposed to

go back to reality after this?

-It's magical, isn't it?

-How does a chef

afford a boat like this?

Are you a secret millionaire?

-I wish!

It's my friend, Winston's.

He owns the Belle Mont Farm.

-No way! Small world.

[sighs] This is just.

unbelievable.

I feel like I'm in a dream.

-The island or--?

-I mean, what is this?

I've only known you

a few days but,

I feel like it's been forever.

This is insane.

I was supposed to be

on my honeymoon!

Am I crazy?

-No, you're not crazy.

If you are, so am I.

Rachel, the first night

I saw you at the restaurant,

I don't know what happened,

but it just felt so natural.

There you were--

-Alessandro,

I'm supposed to be going back

the day after tomorrow.

-I'll take it.

If that's all we have,

I'll take it.

All I know is I absolutely want

to spend Christmas with you.

[]

-Let me get you a Pisco Sour.

I learned how to make it

in this backstreet bar in Peru.

-[Amanda] Ooh.

-The barman was 80 years old.

You've never tasted

anything like it.

-Hmm.

-Quite the man of mystery,

aren't you, Winston?

-Is that a bad thing?

-Amanda has a thing

for cute barmen.

-Oh, really?

-Mm-hmm.

Especially ones

who know their way

around the c*ck menu.

-I'm just gonna--

get some rest.

-Now, let's get

serious about this.

I like this one.

I really liked this one.

But the drink I really,

really like is this drink.

I love this drink.

This is my favourite drink.

This is the drink

I could come on in

and just suck and suck it.

And I really liked it,

please make me another one.

Please.

-With pleasure, madam.

-Thank you.

Now, cheers.

-Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

It's. just been a perfect day.

-Yes. It really was.

[]

-Are you sure

you don't wanna come in

for a drink with me

and the girls?

-I would love to, but,

I have the kids

waiting for me at home.

-Well, Happy Christmas Eve.

-I really have to go now.

If not, I will kiss you

all night.

Happy Christmas Eve.

[Rachel] [voice-over]

Oh, wow. What a day.

I mean, he seems perfect.

So kind and sweet.

And his kids!

He is so sweet with his kids.

And it seems like

he really likes me, right?

What if he is my missing

puzzle piece?

-Ooh, Rach!

Ooh, you're back.

I'm here.

[Rachel] Hi.

Hi. I was just about to

come find you,

but-but you know what?

I just needed a moment.

-Are you okay?

How was the barbecue?

-Wonderful.

He is wonderful.

-I'm so happy for you.

You smell like the ocean.

[giggles] What did he cook?

-Where's Amanda?

-Oh, she's at the bar.

She found a new barman, and

naturally he's smitten by her.

Oh, look, there she is.

Amanda!

-[gasps] There you are.

You thought

you could shake me off.

But you can't shake me off

because I am here.

[gasps]

You look absolutely glowing.

Was it fabulous?

-Did you kiss him?

-Of course,

she didn't kiss him.

The kids were there.

-Oh, right. Sorry.

-He took me out on a boat.

Just the two of us.

After the barbecue.

And it was magical.

-Hmm.

-[Amanda] She kissed him.

[chuckles]

-[Rebecca] Yeah. She did.

-And he's invited us

for Christmas day tomorrow.

-Oh goodie!

Can you imagine

the Christmas dinner

that man's going to make?

Ooh!

-Oh-oh.

It's so sweet of him.

So, it'll be Alessandro

and his kids.

And us and ours.

-[laughs]

-[Winston] Hello, ladies.

-Oh. Winston.

-Sounds like you could use

some bubbles.

-Winston, you know the way

to a lady's heart.

[Rachel] Wait, wait--

You're Winston?!

I was just on your yacht!

-You have a yacht?

-Yes, I have a yacht.

I hope you had

a good time today.

Alessandro is a good

friend of mine.

-Oh, you know what?

I had the best time.

Listen, we're gonna go

for Christmas day tomorrow.

What are we gonna do

for presents?

-That's easy. We have

a boutique here at the hotel.

I'll open it for you.

[Amanda] You can do that?

-Yes, why not?

It's my hotel.

-[Rebecca] What?

how you do it but--cheers.

[all] Cheers!

[Monica] I love it, Dad.

Thank you.

-Happy Christmas, darling.

-Thanks, Dad.

-Don't you like it?

I thought

that's what you wanted.

-No, I love it. Thanks.

It's just--

-What is it, Rafael?

-I asked Santa

for something else,

and I didn't get it.

-What was it?

-It's okay. Maybe it was

too much to ask for.

-Aww.

Are you okay, champ?

-Yeah.

Thanks for my presents.

[Alessandro] Hmm.

-Happy Christmas, Dad.

-Merry Christmas, kids.

[all] Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas, Rachel.

-Now, these are my friends,

Amanda, and Rebecca.

-Hello, Amanda.

Hello, Rebecca.

-[Amanda] Darling.

-Hi, Rafael.

[Rachel] And you already

know Winston.

-Oh, I thought

I heard the car.

Merry Christmas.

[all] Merry Christmas.

-What time's lunch?

What? [clears throat]

[Amanda] So I said, can you get

something from the stuffing

and I'm thinking a lemon;

they came up with a pineapple.

[all laughing]

-Well, okay.

Christmas is Christmas. Right?

[Winston] Christmas

just brings everything.

-[Rebecca] The food is amazing.

-[Amanda] Exactly.

-Happy Christmas,

beautiful people!

[Alessandro] Ellie.

Merry Christmas, Ellie.

I'm glad you could make it.

-I wasn't about to miss out on

the greatest love story ever.

And I want a front row seat.

[all laughing]

-I forgot

the cranberry sauce.

-Oh, I'll lend you a hand.

-Alessandro,

you got enough food here

to feed the five thousand.

-I got some extra

because I knew

Rebecca was coming.

-[with a stuffed mouth]

What?!

-Nothing.

[all laughing]

-These are really good.

-[gasps]

-[gasps]

-Can you please

pass the turkey, please.

[Alessandro] Aah!

[all laughing]

-You've ruined everything!

[sobs]

-Sweetheart,

it's only cranberries.

-No! It's all ruined.

-Why are you so upset?

-Because of you!

You came in here and you made

my dad fall in love with you.

And I told you not to,

but you did it anyway.

And now Rafael likes you too

and you're just--

and you're just gonna leave

and mess everything up.

[sobbing]

What am I supposed to say to him

when he asks where you are

after you leave?

-I-I--

-He already lost one mom!

And now you're just gonna leave

and forget about him.

-Monica, I'm so sorry.

I-I didn't think about that.

I-I just got carried away.

-Oh, you think?

-Monica.

your father and I.

we haven't even

had a conversation

about what happens next.

-[sniffling]

He likes you.

I know he does.

But he knows you wouldn't stay.

-He told you that?

-No.

But I know my dad.

He won't ask you 'cause

he's scared you'll say no.

-Would you like me to stay?

Oh, Monica.

Monica, I never meant

to hurt any of you.

I'm so sorry.

I would like to stay.

-You would?

-I would.

If your dad wanted me to.

Please don't be mad at me

for falling for him.

I.

I kinda fell for all of you.

-But. how could you

possibly like me?

I've been nothing

but mean to you.

-Is everything--

Oh, my good grief.

What happened?

-Oh. We just

had a little accident

with the cranberry sauce.

-Oh my.

-It tastes good.

-[all laughing]

-Are you okay?

-Yeah. It's okay.

[chuckles]

-[murmured conversation]

-Sorry, everybody.

Bit of an issue

with the cranberry sauce.

-Oh. Never mind

cranberry sauce.

We're in the Caribbean!

Winston says

we have to have hot sauce

with the turkey, right?

-[Winston] Yes, you're right.

-I am right. [chuckles]

-Everything okay?

-Everything's fine.

-Guys, Merry Christmas!

[all] Merry Christmas!

Even better than last year.

Thank you.

Gotta get to the Christmas

bonfire at the beach.

-Ooh, there's a bonfire?

[Ellie] Christmas tradition.

You're gonna love it.

-The First Noel,

Poor shepherds

In fields where they lay

Keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night

That was so deep

Noel Noel

[cheers and applause]

-[laughing]

-This may have been

the best Christmas ever.

Thank you.

-I meant what I said

in the boat.

I'll take what I can.

-Daddy, can we go home now?

I'm tired.

-Yes, son. We go.

Merry Christmas, Rachel.

-Merry Christmas.

Last breakfast, girls.

Gotta make it a big one.

[Amanda] Hmm.

-Oh. I'm gonna

miss you all so much.

-Aww.

-Having you ladies here

has been so much fun.

-Well, we have had

the best time, Ellie.

Thank you for making it

a really magical trip.

-Oh, that's not me.

It's the island.

I told you it would heal you.

-It did.

-No, really.

Ellie, thank you.

It's been absolutely wonderful.

-Yeah. You rock.

-Oh. You're gonna

make me cry.

See you in the lobby.

[all chuckling]

-[clears throat]

I have news.

-Yes?

-Look at this.

It's my blog.

-You have a blog?

-Yeah.

-You've got nearly

a million followers!

-I know! [chuckles]

Isn't it great?

I'm an influencer.

I have no idea what that means.

I just started it

when we got to the island.

I mean, it's not like

I could sunbathe or anything.

So, you know, I started

writing about the island.

-And its food.

-Well, duh.

[Amanda chuckles]

-Apparently, people like it.

-This is just unbelievable.

I mean, look,

you have sponsors!

You have people asking you where

you're planning to go next.

-Yeah.

-Oh.

-I'm not coming back to London.

[chuckles]

I'm going to Puerto Rico!

-What?

-[Amanda] What?

What about your job?

-I sent my resignation in

this morning.

-No way!

-Yes, way.

Oh, come on, you both know

that I really don't find

accountancy exciting.

And this is REALLY exciting.

I'm going to travel the world

and eat all the food.

-This is

absolutely perfect.

-This is just phenomenal.

Well done, you. Well done.

Well, it's just gonna be

me and you then flying home.

-Yeah, well, uh.

Here's the thing.

-[gasps] You're coming

to Puerto Rico with me?

-Um, no.

[stutters] Um.

-Ooh.

-Winston?

-Yeah.

-Yay.

-Yes.

Well, he's asked me

to go to Egypt

to spend New Year with him.

And I've never seen

the pyramids. So.

-You're going?

-Oh, yes.

-[giggles]

-That's amazing.

Oh, I'm so happy for you,

Amanda.

-[Amanda] Thank you.

-And you.

-Yeah.

-Well, it's just me then.

Well, I'm gonna miss you both.

-Why don't you stay here?

You know you want to.

-He hasn't asked me to.

-We're not abandoning you,

are we?

I kinda feel like we are.

-No! You girls did me the

biggest favour

in the whole world.

Not marrying that loser

was the best thing

I ever didn't do.

-[Rebecca and Amanda laughing]

-Okay?

I mean, you brought me here

and you really showed me

how amazing life could be.

I'm not gonna settle for less.

[laughs softly]

-Well, let's get you

to the airport.

-No, no, no.

No. Ladies, you stay here.

I'm gonna get there myself.

Make the most of your

last few days in paradise

before you go off on your.

sexy adventures.

-Are you sure?

-Yes, yes.

You know me,

I hate goodbyes anyway.

-Okay, well,

one last picture before we go.

-Okay.

To adventures.

-Yes.

-[camera clicks]

-[chuckles]

[Alessandro sighs]

[whisking]

[clink of cutlery]

-Daddy, is Rachel

coming to play today?

-No, Rafael.

She said goodbye

yesterday, remember?

-Is she coming back soon?

-I don't think so, champ.

You know, she lives in London.

It's very far away.

-I like her.

-I like her, too.

-Why didn't you ask her to stay?

-It's complicated.

-No, it's not.

You like her. She likes you.

End of story.

-Monica,

it's not that easy.

-Look, I may only be 19.

But even I can see that you two

are made for each other.

She would have stayed

if you'd asked her.

But you were too stubborn

or too scared to do it.

-She would've stayed?

She told you that?

-Wow, men really don't get it.

Rafael adores her,

and I like her.

She's in love with you, Dad.

And I know you love her too.

There's still time.

Her flight doesn't leave

until ten.

Dad, go get her!

-Go after Rachel, Daddy.

Please?

[]

[rumble of rotor blades]

[Alessandro]

Stop! Stop! Stop!

-[indistinct].

-Stop! You gotta stop!

-Okay, okay, okay.

Stop! Stop!

-[sighs]

-Stop! Stop! Stop!

Rachel!

Rachel, I love you!

Don't go! Stop!

-[gasps]

-No. Rachel!

Wait! Wait!

I can't let you go!

I want you to stay!

Please! Take a chance on us

and stay here.

Stay with me.

Te amo! Te amo!

Te amo. Te amo.

I love you, Rachel.

Stay.

-[chuckles]

-Wow.

-I love you.

-I love you, too.

.Again

Make me believe

In love

Again and again

Believe in love again

No it didn't fly

Over my head

You're more than a lover

You're my best friend

[Rafael] [voice-over]

Dear Santa, for Christmas,

I would like a real family.

Love, Rafael.

-.Intellectual and it

Turns me on my darling

Your body flows

Like the sea lifts

Right this way

[Rachel] [voice-over] Maybe some

things are just meant to be.

I have to say, this is

the happiest I have ever been.

Simply wonderful,

Alessandro

and his gorgeous family.

This time, it feels right.

And I am exactly

where I want to be

and where I have always

dreamt of being.

Fingers crossed,

this is my happy ever after.

-Just give me one more day

Make me believe

[]

Hey

Believe in love again

Oh believe in

(Believe in)

Believe in

(Believe in)

Believe in love again

In love again

Another year

Away from home

It's Christmas day

When you're alone

The street is lit

There's magic in the night

Above the clouds

A sh**ting star

It shares a wish

It lights a spark

The hope that brings you

Closer everyday

It might take

A thousand sh**ting stars

To set me free

(Set me free)

I'd wait an eternity

I sure hate Christmas

Without you

Ooh-ooh

I lay awake as if a child

The fireplace is roaring now

It warms me up

But not quite

Like your touch

I can't forget

Your crooked smile

You held me close

You drove me wild

We made sweet love

Into the break of dawn

It might take

A thousand Christmas

'Coz I still miss you

You were a gift to me

I sure hate Christmas

Without you

[]

It might take a thousand

I love yous

To right me back

Just wanted to tell you that

I sure hate Christmas

Without you

Without you

[]

O Christmas tree,

O Christmas tree

How lovely are your branches

O Christmas tree

How lovely are your branches

Not only green
