Home Sweet Christmas Wedding

I love you, Sammy.

Ten...

Six...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One!

Ready or not, here I come!

You're supposed to hide, silly.

Doesn't the name of the game give it away?

Well, the name's also reindeer tag, so

you're it!

Ah!

Oh.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Oh, what is it?

Uh, I.. I lost a contact lens.

Oh, no.

Wait, you wear contacts?

Don't tell anyone.

Oh. Found it!

It's right...

Here.

Sophie Marlow...

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Yes!

She said yes!

I'm sorry, Sophie.

I have some bad news.

Your Great Uncle Henry passed away.

It was quite peaceful.

He went in his sleep.

I spent every Christmas with Great-Uncle Henry.

Until I was 14.

And, Cut!

Jenny, that was exquisite.

I truly felt the emotion on that last take.

Um, do you mind referring to me as Sophie?

Just while we're on set?

I want to stay in character as much as possible.

No problem, Sophie.

All right, let's do another take where we have more waterworks!

Back to ones people!

Okay.

Thanks.

Isn't this incredible, man?

Your script, my direction.

This is gonna be our biggest hit yet.

Yeah, well, I hope so.

After all the work that we put into this.

And Jenny is the perfect Sophie, am I right?

Yeah, she's... she's great.

But, I mean, there's only one perfect Sophie.

Don't do it, Sophie.

Don't look.

No, I am definitely not gonna look.

We haven't even picked a venue or settled on a date.

No, you are not the kind of girl

who stops to look every time you pass by.

Oh, who am I kidding?

Oh, good. She's still there.

Thank you.

Lock it up.

We're rolling!

It was quite peaceful.

He went in his sleep.

I spent every Christmas with Great Uncle Henry.

Until I was 14.

And, cut!

Beautiful.

- That's lunch, everyone. - That was great.

Hey, Sophie!

- How are you? - Hi.

- Great. - Oh.

- Here you go. - Oh!

Hi.

Is this for me?

For the baby.

Ah. Is it a jolly jumper?

Oh, you'll have to wait until the baby shower.

The due date's coming up pretty fast.

Yeah, three weeks.

Just enough time to wrap this bad boy and get home.

Timed it all perfectly.

Mm, I think your wife is the one that gets credit for the timing.

How is Becky, by the way?

Oh, she's a superstar.

Third trimester, ready to rock.

We can't settle on a name though.

Hey, what do you think of Quintessential?

For the... the baby's name?

Yeah, I wanted something powerful.

You know, we call her Quinn for short.

Yeah or Tessie.

Or Tessie.

Yeah.

Well, with a name like that, it certainly makes a statement.

That's what I said and

Uh, speaking of Becky.

This is her. Gotta take this.

Okay.

Hey, sweetheart.

How's it all going?

I mean, like, every day.

Living the dream.

So, what do you think of the set?

I mean, it's surreal.

It's like I'm back at my old job.

Art imitating life.

Well, not exactly.

The character Sophie and Sam are getting married

before the real ones.

Busted.

I'm sorry.

No, no, I'm just teasing you.

This time, life will imitate art.

It's totally fine.

It's not fine.

Just with the rewrites and everything,

I've been pretty consumed with this film.

Well, it'll all be worth it.

Remember that Great Uncle Henry said

one day you are going to write something perfect

with that typewriter he gave you.

There he is.

Okay.

Mr. Stackhouse.

Luke, I told you, you gotta call me Sam.

Sorry, Mr. Stackhouse.

By the way, that's a great choice

for Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, I love it.

That was today?

I totally forgot.

Mr. Roberts was wondering if you have a moment

to speak with him.

I always have time to speak with Evan.

Yeah, absolutely.

Thank you.

Sam, is your number one goal to make my life miserable?

Uh, it's not my number one goal,

but it's probably in the top ten.

Can you explain to me again why you insisted on naming

one of the characters in your script Richard Gere,

a dog character, no less.

Well, because I named him after my real life dog, who's um

his name is Richard Gere, so.

Why?

Is he an American dogolo?

We had Connor Woods signed on to play Sam,

a real up and coming star.

But Connor only agreed to play the part

because he thought he'd be working

with the human Richard Gere.

When he found out that his co-star would instead be a dog,

he dropped out.

You put Chris in a real pickle here.

I just spent the last 24 hours trying to find a replacement,

which I did. You're welcome.

Who's this?

Oh, this. This is the real life Sophie.

This is who I based the character on.

Hi.

Well, I'm happy to see that you're not a dog.

Oh, stop. I'm blushing.

Your new male lead arrives today.

I don't want to hear about any more problems.

Keep up the good work.

That was...

Well, that was the producer, aka the guy who cuts all the checks.

And he's not here?

No. No, no, he just- he just works remotely.

Some people are strange.

Present company included.

Let's get some food.

Hey, you two.

Hey, Erin.

How's today going?

Busy as every day.

You know, when they hired me

to do all the coffee and snacks for this movie,

I did not realize how much work it was going to be.

It takes a lot of caffeine to keep a film crew going.

Mm.

I'm having a lot of fun, though.

Well, don't worry, I'm holding down the fort at the office.

You are the best partner I could ever ask for.

Hey, Sam, you got a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Be right back.

So how are the temporary digs at the hotel?

Oh, really nice, but it is kind of odd to be staying

at a hotel in the same town I live in.

Yeah, that's what film productions do

when they use your home as a filming location.

As long as they're footing the bill.
