Auld Lang Syne

- We have four days left, it's not that bad really,

if you think about it.

You know how these things work, right?

Big burst of energy at the beginning

because everybody's really excited about the campaign.

And then you get a big burst of support at the end

because everybody wants to be the hero

that gets you over the top.

- You're not telling me anything I don't know, babe.

- I know, I understand that.

I mean, I haven't sent any emails yet.

I mean everything's been super general to this point.

You gotta send the personal stuff because that's what,

you know, really gets people involved.

- Look, I'm not saying I wanna do it.

I'm saying I think we should consider it.

- They put up a tree. - What?

- The rental company, they put up a tree.

I think it's kinda nice.

Yeah.

It makes certain assumptions though, don't you think?

I guess so.

It's pretty.

You're pretty.

Nur pey.

- We're not talking your parents.

- Can we have a conversation that's

just in the vicinity of reality?

I mean, I'm not saying I don't believe in miracles--

- Miracles come in moments, be ready and willing.

- But I know they would help us, I mean, look,

they've talked about selling this place for years!

- We are not asking your parents for the money.

We will find it a different way.

Look, Sadie's agent is in love with your script, right?

And once they package it

and make it for a gajillion dollars,

I can finally retire and be

your dandy gentleman about town, hm?

- Did we get Sadie's, um--

- Gluten-free, soy-free, dairy free, taste-free.

Lots of--

She has food allergies.

It's gonna be okay.

You're on onions.

You're like...

You're like a goddess.

You're like, like an angel.

You're like... (moans)

You're like a goddamn angel that fell straight out of heaven

and onto my--

Longboard? (giggles softly)

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I...

I love you.

I gotta piss.

- Do you mind if I-- - No.

Kinda like it quiet.

Okay, how's this?

""With arts education funding decreasing sharply every year,

"it's more important than ever..."

We okay?

- It's just a panic attack, keep going.

- Okay, um, "it's more important than ever

"for theaters like TPITH to provide students with

"essential exposure to the arts"--

- Time is it? - It's 6:18.

- Fuck, we never start early enough.

- No it's fine, everybody's gonna be late and

Sadie will be here but she doesn't eat anything anyway.

- (chuckles) You know, not helpful.

All right, lay it on me.

(sighs) Roast in the oven.

Yams, dressing for the salad.

Go get flowers.

Um.

Go.

- Uh, five campaign updates before midnight.

Grant draft is complete.

Calls to the Yancies and Johnsons

- It's a holiday, they'll hate it.

- Yeah but you have to thank people right away

- Well, we're not gonna have time for flowers.

- Can you schedule the posts?

- No, the Kickstarter doesn't work that way.

You have to update-- - It's a holiday!

I get tonight. - Okay, okay.

But can you read this in the bath?

Yes.

Don't burn the yams.

Go team.

It's okay, take a towel.

You got this.

Coming!

(screams) Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's good, good, man.

- Good, good, hey.

You should totally come here as well.

It's good to see you.

- Absolutely, thank you.

Yeah.

Should, uh...

Fuck. (groans)

- All we're saying is that remakes typically

You can't remake something and make it better.

- In theory it's typical but not always!

- Well give me one example under exception then.

Give me one example.

- Obviously. - Sabrina.

Yeah.

- The original Sabrina had Humphrey Bogart

and Audrey Hepburn-- - Exactly!

This is what I'm saying.

He's like 80 years older than she is.

It's gross! - No.

Dude, that was before Viagra.

Sorry, sorry.

We will finish this later, can you handle this?

- You ready to do this? - Mm-hm, hm-hm.

Yeah.

- It's in the, um-- - Okay.

Do you wanna read it, or...

I don't know, I just don't want you to be shocked

- Did you write something shocking?

Well no, but...

I just don't know how these things go.

Steven has excellent diction but

Jude seems like he might have questionable reading skills.

Does it tell the truth?

Mm-hm.

Okay.

Meh, I tested for a pilot but

my agent said the money wasn't good enough, so...

- Has there been any movement on the script?

(gasps) Oh, Nessa!

Did I tell you Jude wrote a song for me?

(chuckles) Yeah.

I'll play it for you later like an exclusive concerto.

I haven't even played it for the guys yet.

It's gonna be a single.

- You know, actually I think you should take a look at it.

You haven't read it and I--

Can we just go inside?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just cold out here.

You know how I hate the cold.

Yeah.

I'm sure it's fine.

- Here they are! - Hi.

Steven, Jodie and Bryce are here!

Get off your laptop!

Hi!

You gotta spread the wealth.

You gotta spread the wealth?

But the thing is you also gotta have intelligent people

or it's just a disaster.

Yes, yes.

- It's like playing poker with people

that don't know to play.

I mean, what the problem is, it's not, oh, oh.

- I think you have to put a new--

- I just got the look, so um, uh.

It was 10 years ago

that we moved back to the valley

with trepidation in our souls

and hope in our hearts.

And it was only through your friendship

that we made it through those early years.

You painted scenery,

you hauled costumes,

you got drunk with us on the floor

when we didn't have any furniture.

But no matter what heartache or broken toes,

or mold-induced asthma the months brought,

you always got together with us here

at Nessa's family's cabin to celebrate New Years.

Yay.

And so I just wanna say,
