A Christmas Blessing

And that is how you make

the perfect French onion soup.

As many of you know,

uh, today is my last show,

so I just wanted to say thank you

to everyone here

for making the last 12 years possible.

You have literally been my family,

and, uh, to everyone out there,

I just want to say thank you

for going on this journey with me,

but it's time for me to embark on my next chapter.

There are 142 three-star Michelin restaurants

in the world,

and I plan on dining at all of them.

I want to experience

all the best culinary creations,

and delve into the lives

of the chefs who came up with them.

It'll be a two-year endeavor,

which I will be chronicling in a book.

Whoo-hoo!

Thank you for watching,

and always remember,

when it comes to cuisine,

there's a world of food out there.

Whoo!

Oh...

Thanks.

Thank you so much.

I'm gonna miss you guys. Thank you all.

Who's gonna make me laugh every day?

Take me with you.

Have you forgotten

you have a husband and two kids?

I'd send 'em postcards.

So, where to first?

Rome?

Madrid?

Hong Kong?

Milwaukee.

M-Milwaukee?

You remember when my aunt passed away?

About three months ago.

You gave her a beautiful on-air tribute.

Aw.

Well, she left me

a piece of property I'm selling.

I'm going to fly there in the morning

and sign the documents,

and then take the red-eye

to Paris.

Paris?

Seriously, take me with you.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

- Bye. - Bye.

Au revoir!

Hey!

Oh, watch it, watch it.

Uh, black ice.

Very slippery.

Oh! Okay, thank you.

Hi. Are you the seller?

Yeah, are you the buyer?

Yeah, I'm the buyer. I'm Adam Carraway.

Oh, hi. Mandy Gilmore.

So you own all this?

Yeah, yeah,

but there never seems to be enough room.

Ah.

This extra space will be a godsend.

Okay, well, I have the deed.

Are you ready to do the walk-through?

Yeah. Oh, um...

Yeah, let me get the paperwork.

I'll meet you inside.

Yeah.

Seller's here!

Yes! Now I'll finally get my own office.

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, Jim,

that's why I'm doing it!

I'm doing it so you can get your own office!

No, you're doing it

so you can forge into the top echelon of couriers,

which is next-level stuff, by the way, man,

but I just happen to get my own office out of the deal.

Which... Uh, where's the paperwork?

I didn't take it.

Well, it couldn't have walked off on its own.

Okay, let's retrace our steps.

Okay, uh, let me think, I walked up to here...

- Yes. - set it down right here...

- Okay. - where it's not anymore.

Susie?

I'm sorry...

You are?

Oh, I'm Otto. I'm here to volunteer.

Oh...

Otto, I'm so sorry,

but Susie passed away about three months ago.

Oh, no, I...

I didn't...

I've been away.

And you are?

Mandy, her niece.

Yes.

Susie spoke highly of you.

My condolences. She was a great woman.

She was.

Thank you.

Yeah, she helped me through some hard times

quite a while back,

and I have been volunteering every holiday ever since.

That's nice.

Well, it was nice to meet you, Otto.

You take care.

Lotta great memories here.

Hey, do you mind if I just take a few minutes,

just look around?

Oh, um, no, certainly,

take your time.

- Ah. - Yeah.

Do you hear what I hear?

Excuse me?

Said the night wind to the little lamb.

Christmas music.

- Ah. - Yeah.

Oh, sorry.

Took me a minute to find these.

Uh, this is Otto.

He used to volunteer here.

Oh, hi.

Uh, you ready to do the walk-through?

Yes, let's start back here.

Is he, uh, following us?

I think it's fine.

This kitchen is magnificent.

This is where Susie would prepare all the big meals

for all the festive occasions.

Yeah, Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving...

Ah, it was always such a feast.

But Christmas was by far her favorite holiday.

Yes, it was. Yes.

That's why all the decorations are still up, year-round.

Well, I don't really need a kitchen,

so it's probably all going to be torn out.

That's a shame.

Maybe add some walls and offices.

It's still a shame.

Hey, oh!

- Careful. - Oh.

Ladder...

Can't be too careful.

I'm used to seeing this place buzzing with more activity.

Well, it will be again when I move in.

Ah, that's Susie's office.

Yeah, it's locked.

Yes.

I do know where there's a spare key.

I'll fetch it.

Oh...

Sort of an odd fellow.

Ah, he seems nice enough.

You have to be somewhere?

Oh, I have a plane to catch, but we're fine.

Okay.

Here we are.

Oh.

Thank you.

You're welcome,

and I'm out.

Yes, again, condolences.

Susie is a wonderful soul.

- She was. - Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

He's, uh, kinda growing on me.

Yeah, he's a character.

Oh...

Oh!

Sorry.

What's that?

Um...

Oh, it looks like a box of my aunt's mementos.

- I'll just take them with me. - That's a weird place for it

- right there. - Yeah, well,

the packers probably left it behind.

I'll just... take it with me.

Um, okay.

Uh...

I'm ready to sign.

You?

Oh, yeah.

- Yeah? - Yeah, sooner the better, yes.

Really? Okay, here we go.

I had my lawyer draw up this contract,

and your asking price right there.

Um, the address here is 465 Lupine Street.

Yes. Yes, correct. 465.
