QUOTE:Spare some change miss? "Um, I'm so sorry I don't have any cash on me. You know what? This $5 bill was from my very first sale. It was meaningful to me once. Maybe it'll bring you more luck than it brought me. "Bless you." Merry Christmas Sir. "Merry Christmas Miss."

QUOTE:Haley you are my best friend how could you not tell me I've become a pack rat! "You are a designer! Which means you are designed to save things.

QUOTE:"I don't want to see you go." I don't want to see me go either but we don't have a choice. That little uh, little startup was turning into a shut down quicker than I knew it. Man, I was just in over my head.

QUOTE:Your Mom's right. Just because you're moving away doesn't mean that you don't get to make new friends and keep doing the things that you love. "Really?" I don't know, I was asking.

LETTER:Dear Santa,
I know this letter is late with Christmas so near, but I wasn't sure if even you could make my wish come true this year. Because it isn't a present you can wrap up with a bow. It's something more meaningful than you'll ever know. This year Santa I just want a way for you to find Mom a way to get us back to LA. I don't want any gifts. I just want to go home. Mom says I'll be real happy there, but I feel so alone. Love, Emily.

QUOTE:You're never too old to believe in Christmas wishes, huh? In that case, please give Emily the best most wonderful Christmas ever.

QUOTE:Are we there yet? "Uh, yeah, in about two days!"

QUOTE:Melissa McKean? Melissa McKean-Atkinson. Married now. 12 glorious years, three children, huge four bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, two story. "Wow, that's a lot of numbers. Congratulations" My husband's a Dentist. 10th anniversary present! "Are you wanting me to guess how many carats or I mean, it's obvious that he must love you a whole bunch."

QUOTE:I guess today's your lucky day! "It's early yet."

QUOTE:Hi, I'm looking for the music teacher, Mr. Collier? "Um, that would be me." Hi, I'm Kristen Randall... "Kristen, Kristen Randall! Hi, it's me." Mr. Collier? "Danny. No, it's Danny. It's me." Hi, do the teachers go by first names at this school? "No, no, they, they go, uh, by first name I'm sorry, obviously you don't remember me ha ha, we, um, we went to school together. Silver Falls High School class of 1998. You don't remember?" Yeah, no. "We were in English class together. As a matter of fact, we were in Senior Biology, and you and I dissected a frog together. Remember?" The frog! Yes! Yes, of course. Yeah, I mean, I think I probably blocked that memory out of my brain for obvious reasons. "I won't blame you ha ha." Yeah, how, how are you?

QUOTE:First days are the worst aren't they? "How did you know it was my first day of school?" Pretty obvious from that look on your face. You haven't made any friends yet huh? "Yet? More like ever." Do people always sell themselves short back where you come from? It's all in the approach. If you act negative, you can't expect a positive result, right? Thomas, Thomas Dunning. "Nice to meet you, Thomas." Nice to meet you, Emily Parson. "How do you know my name?" I know every child's name. Every child's name at this school of course. I also know that you had a bumpy start with Abigail Atkinson." You know her? Oh, right." So you're having a hard time fitting in huh? "Yeah, but today's only my first day. They can only get better from here, right?" Look what you just did. You took a negative and turned it into a positive. You also made your first new friend. See what happens?

QUOTE:Well if it isn't a Christmas miracle or is it my favorite grand niece? "Aren't I your only grand niece?" Doesn't matter if I have a thousand you'd still be my favorite!

QUOTE:You getting a little anxious getting up on stage all by yourself? "Maybe a little." You know there's a funny thing about stage fright Emily. It's perfectly normal, and if you weren't so good, I would not be putting you in that position. "Sure you're not just being nice?" It's true adults do that sometimes don't they? I'm telling you the truth. You are a real talent.

QUOTE:I think I'll have the chicken pot pie, no peas. "No peas? Oh come on, give peas a chance!"

QUOTE:Wow I gotta tell you that is a nice tree. It's a Scotch Pine. You know what's pretty cool about a Scotch Pine? "What?" It's native to the state of Ohio. This is your first Ohio tree for your very first Ohio Christmas. Seems fitting right?

QUOTE:Santa if you get this letter, won't you help me out? I know you're kind of busy with your elves right now... and I don't know how you do the things you do while I sleep on Christmas Eve.

QUOTE:These are part of your past right? "Yeah." You know what? You can make new memories. You can create a new future. "That's the problem. I don't know where my future is going. I mean, I thought I did but look where it got me." It got you back to people that care about you. Kristen, you've gotta give yourself a break all right? You're doing the best you can. "And what if that's not good enough?" Then you wait patiently for circumstances to change and you stay the course. All right?

QUOTE:An original song! Very impressive. What's it about? "It's kind of a letter to Santa. It's my Christmas wish." I see. Sounds pretty special. "Yeah, but I changed it. It's not just for me anymore. It's for my Mom." Well, that's certainly selfless and if anyone can help you, it's Santa.

QUOTE:So what happened? "Uh, you know, the grueling hours, road trips, just you know, took a toll on me and I just didn't wanna do it anymore so..." Yeah, but what about the dream? "The dream, I discovered one evening when I realized I got a bigger thrill out of teaching music than I ever did performing. It's the truth. That became the dream." Yeah, I get that.

QUOTE:He thinks I'm moving to LA so there's nothing to talk about. "Oh he likes you." "Mm-hmm right? He really really likes her really really." Stop. Stop. "He thinks you're moving to LA so he's doing that mean boy thing" "She's right. Where he pretends like he doesn't care because he knows you're leaving" There's not a mean bone in his body. "Oh, I see, she likes him too!" "Mm-hmm, I called it day one!"

QUOTE:I never thought I could feel this way again about someone until I "met you" yeah, yes you. Of course. I'm sorry that I didn't know you when we were kids, but I see you now.
