One Special Night

Listening for another opinion?

Old habit. I'm going to send him home today.

His mother can start dreaming his future again.

That's good news.

What is that look. You know I hate that look.

What look?

That "Catherine you must get out more" look.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I know you miss him too.

Thank you for being so dear but I'm fine.

Are you sure you won't come home for dinner with us tonight, Catherine?

Marina went all out this year.

She made her homemade cranberry sauce and everything.

Oh, thank you, I'd love to come.

But I already made plans, big plans.

Are you sure?

You're not just going home and opening a can of something and...

Are you joking? That would require cooking.

You know me better than that.

Thank Marina for me. Tell her I'll call her later this week.

Okay, but if you change your mind...

- Good morning, Shelby Hospice. - Hello, Sara? - Yes.

- Robert Woodward. - Oh, hi.

- Yeah, how's she doing today? - Seems to be a good day.

Well good, good.

Yeah, I'm bringing family over in about an hour...

and, uh... don't get her dressed.

I'm bringing a brand new dress for her to wear.

- Oh, she'll love that. - Yeah.

Oh, ahh...

- Something smells good in there. - Hey, dad!

I'll bet we're having hot dogs.

On Thanksgiving? It's turkey grandpa.

I thought you were coming down to the site with me this morning.

You know I hate making decisions alone.

I stayed with my daddy. He didn't wake me up.

I'm sorry dad. I forgot to tell Jeff to drop him off.

You can go down tomorrow, okay?

Fine, but how do you expect me to run things without my right-hand man, huh?

Grandma's gonna love this.

Where's your sister? I want to leave soon as I change.

Well, either her plane was delayed

or she decided to stay in New York to find herself.

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha, I'm here and I'm found.

Well good, because I was beginning to think you were gonna flake out on us.

Oh-ho-ho-ho...

I don't flake out. I get busy. You're huge!

Well, get busy flaking out.

Thanksgiving, be thankful for something.

I'm thankful for my favourite nephew.

I'm a Power Ranger!

Good, we need a superhero in the family.

Jaclyn, soon as I change we've gotta go pick up your mother.

Mum should already be here.

Sorry.

Dr. Howard, happy turkey day.

Same to you Sara. How's your daughter?

Oh, she's great, thank you.

- You were right, it was just teething. - Good.

- What's this? - Sweets for the gang.

- You shouldn't have. - What are we brewing today?

Orange pekoe. I figured you might stop by.

You are a lifesaver. I think I'll just go upstairs for a while first.

Sure, take your time.

- Ah, is Mrs. Rogers up? - I think so.

Good.

Stay... we're having turkey later.

Aw, thanks. I have a party to get to.

Hm, what'd she bring?

Why does she still come?

Oh, she's got pretty close to a few of the patients.

Used to bring some books and stuff.

And she sits in her husband's old room.

I think it makes her feel better.

Mm.

Let's go see grandma.

Mr. Woodward, I tried to catch you.

- Oh, is something wrong? - Oh, uh, Mrs. Woodward,

we were getting her ready to go and she became very agitated.

What, is it her heart? Did you call the doctor?

The doctor came a little while ago

and gave her something to calm her down.

- She's fine but she's still... - I want to see grandma.

You know what? We're gonna leave the sign and it's gonna be the first...

We're going up.

Go show grandma. Show her the painting you made.

Honey, we're here.

Grandma... I made you this.

It's for you coming home.

Mum helped me with the words. But I did the pictures.

Isn't that nice?

- Well, let's put grandma back to bed. - Here, come here. - Come on, dear.

It's snowing on the animals.

Mama says we ought to get 'em back in the barn.

Yeah, okay, if... Michael's here with Lori.

Jaclyn came home.

We came to take you home for Thanksgiving dinner.

Uh, Jaclyn?

There sweetheart.

Hi, mummy.

I missed you so much.

I cut my hair again. I know you like it long.

I made your stuffing, mum. It didn't come out as good as yours.

Here we are now sweetheart. There we go...

we'll put you in your new dress.

Get you home for Thanksgiving dinner.

- It's your favourite colour. - Ahhh! Get away from me!

It's alright. It's me Robert.

Ahhh! Someone. Help!

Sweetheart...

Jaclyn...

- What's wrong mum, it's just daddy - He's trying to kill me...

- He's trying to kill me... - It's alright. It's alright.

- Dad, what's going on? - She gets confused.

It's okay, Michael.

Grandma's just a little upset. She's going to be all right.

I'm leaving with Michael.

Take the Suburban, I'm gonna stay with your mum.

Dad, come with us. We could all come back here tomorrow,

- maybe she'll be feeling... - I'll take a taxi home later.

Dad, you may not be able to get one in this weather.

I'll manage, go.

Could you grab his coat?

Dad?

Go, it's okay.

Can I help you?

I was looking for something to put these in.

Uh, perhaps they have a vase downstairs at the desk.

You don't work here?

No.

Sorry to have bothered you.

I can put these in some water by her bed.

- They were her favourites. - Mm.

I don't know if she still remembers that.

It's really coming down out there.

You should go home while you still can, get some rest.

I'll stay with her.

It was so nice to see you again. I wish you could stay.

Mm, me too.

- So, where's this party? - Close by.

Good thing, too. I don't know how far I could get in this weather.

Come on, I've only been here an hour how can the roads already be...

I live in Arlington on Halbrook Drive.

I'll pay the driver double for his tr...

Come on, it's Thanksgiving I have to get home.

Have a wonderful holiday, Sara. I'll see you soon,

if I don't freeze to death.

- I will see you at Christmas. - For sure.

Don't do this.

It's not your responsibility.

All right, I'll give him $100, I think that's fair,

- my family is waiting, it's Thanks... - Excuse me.

I'll be off in a minute.

- I was going to say... - One minute.

Could I offer you a lift?!

Well, it seems there's only one taxi driver working today,

his dispatcher won't let him leave his...

I live on Grey Noll, not too far from you I believe,

Maybe... that's great, fine.

Thanks, great.

Great (!)

- This is your car? - Yes, it is.

A little impractical, don't you think?

But it appears to be your only opportunity at the moment.

Want me to drive?

Do I seem grossly incompetent to you?

Just trying to be polite.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Oh, sorry.

Buckle up.

Don't you think you should have gone straight?

Not if you want to get stuck behind a snowplough on the freeway for 20 miles.

No, I want to get home as soon as possible.

Well, this is the quicker way.

I noticed the doctor's place.

Mm-hm.

Your husband a doctor?

No.

Something wrong with the music?

It's your car.

Indeed.

Perhaps you would prefer country music.

I like jazz. The old stuff.

I'd take Sara Vaughn over anyone today.

Certainly jazz is an important part of our musical history.

Sara Vaughn's vocal facility is unmatched.

I prefer to listen to the instruments and musical blending...

I just like the sound she makes.

Oh.

Ugh...

Here.

Hey!

What on earth did you think you were doing?

Me?

It's unbelievable. I can't believe anybody would do such a stupid thing.

I'm just trying to get out of the car, okay?

You blame me?

Oh, no, no, we should've turned left...
