New Year's Eve (2011) Edit

A baseball's a lot smaller than your ball, which is not dropping.

A boy.

A chance to forgive.

A short in the ball.

Actually, I do.

After.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah. You seem to have a pretty fun life.

Ah... Alyssa, thank you.

Ahh. I'm gonna try to get close to the stage to get spit and sweat on.

All right, let me finish with this. As we move forward into this new year...

All right, let me see.

All right, let's do this.

All right, look.

All right, New York City! Are you ready?!

All right! Come on in.

All right.

All right. Plan B. Hold this.

All right. Talk to you later, man.

All you gotta do ls have a little faith in me

All you gotta do ls, baby, have a little bit of faith in me

All your pretty little girls are here.

And also it's a balance thing.

And auld lang syne?

And don't forget, second chances, they don't expire until midnight.

And have a little faith in me

And have a little faith in me

And here comes the ball.

And I am a comic book artist.

And I don't know how to stop.

And I may not allow him in my unit any more.

And I might take you home with me If I could tonight.

And I promised you we'd bring...

And I'd love to be in front.

And I'm also excited about the baby. I think that's the most exciting thing.

And it was in college...

And never brought to mind?

And not just tonight, but all year long.

And now you think that just because you moved somewhere that makes you cool...

And now, your hostess...

And picked the daisies fine

And Piper's mom, who's been following us all night, is gonna take us all home.

And surely I'll buy mine

And surely you will buy your cup

And that's it?

And then he'd say, "Now go out and do it."

And this beard took me like a year to grow.

And to say happy New Year.

And to stop worrying about "what if"...

And to stop worrying about "what if"...

And we're thinking about you tonight, Pops.

And when the tears you cry

And you can no longer see

And yours was when?

And, ladies, may the best va jay jay win.

Anxiety is now the prevailing mood here at One Times Square.

Any ideas who you might want to kiss at midnight?

Are all you can believe

Are you amazed?

As a reward for 37 years of service...

Assuage.

Aw...

Baby, things were just heating up!

Background singers report to stage.

Background singers report to stage.

Ball hasn't dropped yet.

Be here now.

Because I told them that.

Because of you.

Because that's what New Year's is all about.

Because the one thing that turns the world from a lonely place to a beautiful place...

Because you're just some wannabe hipster who judges everything...

Bill Buckner let a ground ball go between his legs...

Bravo!

Busted.

But as long as we're making assumptions about each other...

But I have another pressing matter that needs attending.

But I made it.

But I might drink a little bit More than I should tonight.

But please don't rat out the cool uncle.

But right now you're my hot date.

But the president of the Times Square Alliance would like a word.

But the seas between us broad have roared

But this napkin is. And you've been carrying it around for a year.

But we've wandered many a weary foot

But will you please sing first?

But you know what? This is gonna be a great new year...

But you're still grounded.

Bye, I love you.

Bye! Happy New Year!

Call me back or I'm gonna give away your ticket. I'm gonna give it away.

Can I go, Mom? Please, please, please.

Can we talk somewhere else?

Can't we pedal faster?

Chocolate truffles.

Click, click, click.

Cold coffee?

Come here! Why don't you have one on? Come on!

Come here.

Come here.

Come here. Quick, quick.

Come on, it's lovely weather

Come on! Let's go.

Come with me.

Coming down! Flipping down!

Coming up next on the main stage, Ahern Records recording artist, Jensen!

Congratulations.

Cues. He means cues.

Cut, cut, cut.

Dad, aren't you gonna be cold?

Dad.

Dessert is now being served.

Did anything else happen?

Did maturity just walk into the room?

Did we miss it?

Did you at least kiss her?

Dissolve.

Dissolve.

Do you want to go see?

Don't just dump them! It should be magical!

Don't throw them at me.

Don't wait as long as I did.

Don't you show your head to me young lady!

Dr. Steam, to the Ira Keenan lounge.

Earthquakes, floods, reality shows.

Easy to fix.

Have we not progressed past the Christmas lights that go out if there's one bad one?

Haven't you been here all day?

He always ended with a quote.

He thought what you said a lot of us needed to hear.

He was in this morning. He didn't leave orders, and...

He would say, "What would you do today if you knew you would not fail?"

He's got it!

He's not alone.

Heard you need a lift.

Hello, I'm Claire Morgan of the Times Square Alliance...

Hello.

Here we go!

Here we go!

Here you go.

Here.

Here. You left this on the elevator. I didn't know if it was lucky or something.

Hey there, iPod. How are you?

Hey, baby.

Hey, good luck with that last one, all right?

Hey, is she here?

Hey, kid.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Sam.

Hey, you didn't, uh, you know...

Hey, you forgot"!

Hey! 5B! Hi. Hey. Hi. Randy.

Hey! Nice pajamas.

Hey.

Hey. Kiddo.

Hey. You made it.

Hi, baby.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Tanya.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Boy meets girl...

Hi. I am Sam Ahern, Jr.

Hip shaking mama, I told ya

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hold the elevator.

Honey, I spent my whole life living in New York City.

Hope for the new year.

Hope...

How about playing a waitress and getting me a drink?

How I would just walk up to you out of the blue... Shit.

How'd you get in?

How've you been?

I am the perfect channel.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can do this.

I can make you feel right, baby.

I can't do it. I gotta go.

I can't see the baby. I can see that couple trying to steal our money.

I can't see.

I can't turn you loose now

I can't turn you loose to nobody

I did, I did.

I do.

I don't care about the money any more.

I don't know.

I don't move until the ball moves.

I don't think I deserve a second chance.

I don't think so.

I get this wire here.

I got him. I got him.

I got it!

I got it.

I gotta go. Ha ha.

I gotta keep on Huh!

I have to get to this party.

I have to say that he was absolutely right.

I haven't seen Piper's mom, but I know she's around here somewhere.

I hear this is a first for the music industry.

I hope so

I illustrate.

I know it's risky.

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

I look crazy.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

I love you, Mom. Really.

I love you.

I made so many mistakes.

I mean, Mrs....

I mean, we could be old and gray before I choose to forgive you.

I mean, you should've seen the way she looked at me.

I mean, you went out for a slice of pizza...

I miss you so much.

I miss you too, baby

I need you to focus.

I need you.

I plan to make it up to you as long as it takes.

I put new one inside! Okay, baby!

I really wanted to talk to you.

I really would like to speak with you about Miss Pearlman.

I said, I will hold you up I will hold you up

I sort of did. But I chose to be with Hailey...

I spent my entire whole life being an ass.

I sure hope so.

I tell them I'm better off. I'm watching you.

I think about you all the time.

I think I know how to get a taxicab.

I think I need to be there.

I think it's time. Let's drop the ball. What do you say?

I think that anybody that knew him knows that he was a great man.

I think you were talking about you.

I want to hear the rest of your story.

I was looking for her and I haven't... Mm.

I was never that defiant.

I was thinking about the ball drop...

I went on and on about the business and how our stock had just gone public.

I went to Juilliard...

I will hold you up I will hold you up now

I won't give a long speech.

I wouldn't want you to be my doctor.

I... up. I didn't tell her in the middle of her sentence.

I'll give you my new condo number and my new cell.

I'll see you.

I'll suffer.

I'll tell you what. I'll take care of this for you.

I'll Wait.

I'm a New York cop. People, they tell me things.

I'm amazed you got me to do this!

I'm an ass.

I'm canceling the tour.

I'm Claire Morgan.

I'm Claire Morgan. I'm the one that hired you.

I'm coming, Mom.

I'm confused. I thought you had plans tonight.

I'm Elise, one of Jensen's backup singers.

I'm flattered, but I'm also spoken for.

I'm flipping. I'm flipping up.

I'm glad we had a chance to talk.

I'm gonna recommend you to everyone I know, and, honey, I know a lot of people.

I'm gonna step up and tap this for you. Look, I'm a widower.

I'm just trying to squeeze a giant Escalade out of a compact fucking parking spot!

I'm more worried about you. If you're not working...

I'm never gonna leave you again. Ever.

I'm never turning you loose now

I'm not really that good.

I'm not really worried about Hailey.

I'm okay.

I'm practically related to him. We're both from Jersey.

I'm sick and tired of being that guy.

I'm sorry about James. He's very competitive.

I'm sorry I called you a groupie.

I'm sorry.

I'm starting to think I need more...

I'm sure he's forgotten it by now.

I'm sure.

I'm telling you the truth. She grabbed me and she totally stole it from me.

I'm twice your age!

I've been plotting that slap for years.

If I do I'm gonna lose my life

If I do I'm gonna lose my mind

If Jensen doesn't show up, you're gonna sing.

If she did happen to call her cool uncle to say where she'd be...

If you're here, who's at Times Square?

If you're still thinking about me in a year...

In my entire life, I have never won a contest before.

In the past, my father would always kick things off...

Ingrid Withers!

Ingrid, please don't let this whole thing be ruined...

It could be years of make up sex before I choose to forgive you.

It has its moments.

It's a very good job. They asked us back for next year.

It's almost midnight. You wanna go to a party?

It's amazing.

It's been a real treat getting to know you and the family. Grandpa Jed.

It's going up. It's going up!

It's going up. It's going up!

It's gonna have a goosebump ending.

It's just me, Aimee.

It's midnight. We have to do something tonight. Get over yourself. Shi... Uh uh.

It's New Year's Eve. She's a teenager. She's being her mother's daughter.

It's okay. They got it.

It's suspended there to remind us...

Jensen. He told us that we had to hire you or he wouldn't sing tonight.

Just as it's about to be midnight.

Just give these loving arms a try, baby

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling.

Keep on lovin', baby

Keep them busy. Try doing the wave.

Kind to each other.

Kitchen still open?

Kominsky.

La la la

Ladies and gentlemen, Jensen!

Ladies and gentlemen, one night only engagement.

Lady with a baby coming through.

Last year there were so many speeches, I had to get outside.

Laura, can we take a break? Jensen's going on in a minute.

Lean, lean, lean.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me...

Let my love throw a spark

Let's do it! Please welcome Mayor Bloomberg, ladies and gentlemen!

Let's get this out of here, okay?

Let's go!

Let's start the countdown when we hit 10.

Listen, Paul, right now, all I really need to do is just find Hailey.

Look with your other eye!

Look, I'm...

Look, there it goes.

Love gives us hope.

Love in any of its forms.

Make a hole, people!

Make a hole, people. Move.

Make a list of your own.

Man, I don't even know whose this is, bro. I'm just saying.

Maybe all she wants is to not have to share you with the rest of the world.

Maybe all this is too much for her, huh? I don't know. Maybe...

Maybe being an ass is the reason you've gotten every single thing you ever wanted.

Maybe eight.

Midnight kiss on New Year's Eve. Boom! Check it off.

Mm hm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mom, look at me.

Mr. Buellerton. You wanted to see me?

Mr. Jensen, hi. What seems to be the problem?

Mr. Kominsky, tell us, how does it feel?

My little rugrats.

My mother, Rose Ahern.

My question also and then I get fired, so that's all.

Never gonna turn you loose

New Year's is all about the dress.

New Year's wave!

Next time I see you, you're gonna have a baby sister. I love you.

Nice to see you, sir.

Nice.

Nine.

Nine.

No hot date? Pretty girl like you.

No, I don't think so.

No, I'm not gonna leave you alone.

No, it's fine. I'm good.

No, no. There's nothing like New York air.

No.

No.

No. I'll just hang here.

No. I'm a professional, I can't be seen gawking at the talent.

No. In a car.

Nope.

Not a back of the tour bus groupie.

Not everything.

Not so easy.

Not this time. I think I really screwed it up.

Not yet! Papa will tell you when it's time, okay?

Now, I like assuagion, but I don't think you realize what's at stake.

Now, very few people remember who was on the field that day...

Now, why did I leave you?

Now, why'd I tell you about him?

Officer Nolan's right here.

Oh, baby

Oh, great, more clog commentary. Ooh.

Oh, hey. Hold the elevator.

Oh, honey, I'm in love with you now

Oh, hostility, that's good. Yes, now we're getting somewhere.

Oh, I do, sir.

Oh, I just got hired for tonight...

Oh, I love it, I love it. You look so beautiful

Oh, I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish. I'm from Ohio.

Oh, my. Something else did happen, didn't it?

Oh, no, no. It's not like that.

Oh, no. Ha ha ha. No.

Oh, no. Kominsky.

Oh, she stole it. Oh, okay, yeah. That makes just perfect sense.

Oh, something coming.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Oh, that's not it at all, is it, Sam?

Oh, this is amazing, I can totally see him.

Oh, this is great, babe.

Oh, wait. We need you.

Oh, what do we have here?

Oh, you also left something else on the elevator.

Oh, you are a goddess.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. I'm a Sam wich.

Oh. Mrs. Baxter.

Oh. Right.

Oh. Thank you so much for coming.

Okay, almost. One more test. One more test, my darling. Okay.

Okay, folks, let's start the countdown.

Okay, I take the parachutes.

Okay, if you try to see, I can't see.

Okay, maybe I was, but all I can do is reflect...

Okay, so I'll meet you there?

Okay, well, go watch.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I'm not gonna let you down, or the world. I promise, sir.

Okay. Let me down now.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll sing.

Okay. Then I go visit my ball on the roof. And...

Okay. Want me to help?

On one condition.

One minute to go.

One.

One.

Ooh.

Ooh. Sorry, you're a little late.

Or sooner.

Or you'll hear a speech about the new vice president of the Times Square Alliance.

Our promises made and broken.

Paul, it's me, Murray. Are we ready to go?

Paul, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Excuse me.

Penny. Penny. Just quick one picture. Right over here!

Phone's broken.

Please enjoy our New Year's Eve entertainment...

Please go. I don't want you to see it happen.

Please, Ingrid.

Please.

Please.

Pow, pow, shwing.

Put on 'em ball When they sleep at the Macy's.

Radio City Music Hall is proud to present, on her resolution tour:

Read it out loud, Maude.

Remember when I took you to New York for the first time?

Remember? Nurse Aimee?

Right. Aimee.

Right. I'll be sure that I don't drop the ball on the ball drop.

Ring ting tingling too

Sam! Oh, hey, Alyssa.

Sam?

Sam's here. He is.

See, I told you I'd have it fixed. In just eight hours.

Serendipity. Hmm?

Seven.

Seven.

She doesn't show up, you go back to your party.

She has a high fever, but he didn't really leave any more orders.

She just crawled right back up in there.

She really listens to James.

She stops me, she puts her hand over mine and she says:

She's a good kid, okay?

She's not doing too well today.

She's not gonna be there. It was one night. It wasn't even real.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

Since auld lang syne

Six.

So I actually went out and got a pizza. Heh.

So I'll simply say that coming up on this stage very soon...

So if you dance while you're singing, you'll need your balance.

So Jensen's playing at Times Square?

So no big plans? A party or...?

So we really would like you to come in and take a look at her.

So when that ball drops at midnight...

So you had your baby.

So you talked Mrs. Ahern into hiring me tonight, huh?

So, look, if I do this, that means they're having their baby.

So, what do you think it is?

Socrates gave long speeches and his friends killed him.

Somebody get me Jensen!

Somebody's gonna have a happy New Year.

Something coming.

Sorry I'm late.

Sorry.

Sorry. Let me just...

Sort of.

Sounds familiar.

Stan, I'm Aimee.

Stan.

Start spreading the news I'm leaving today

Suburban Maryland.

Swearing helps sometimes. But now we're gonna use our words, right?

Take one.

Take that leap of faith.

Take your time telling it, because here comes the traffic.

Taxi!

Taxi! Pregnant! Taxi!

Tell Mayor Bloomberg I'd love to.

Ten.

Text me when you get home that you got home all right.

Thank you for wearing your father's tuxedo.

Thank you, bye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Mm.

Thank you. Thank you so much. That's great to hear.

Thank you. Thanks so much.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That was a nice speech. Well, I was just trying to save my job.

That was our night.

That's me?

That's not why we put the bench in.

The ball is still in a state of stuck.

The best decision I made was asking you to marry me...

The eagle has landed. Kominsky's here.

The food is sublime.

The nurses will take you to your rooms.

The only time that I do performances for audiences of one is when I'm in the shower.

The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures...

Then we start walking towards each other.

There it goes.

There you...

There's nothing wrong in show a little something.

These are your pants.

These TV peoples here?

They are still there. You look great. Perfect, in fact.

They think I'm Jensen's drummer.

They're calling me now. We have to go. But I love you so much.

This ball has 3500 lighting clues.

This gate is a bitch.

This is great.

This is great. Okay.

This is it. This is as close to the ball dropping as I can get you.

This is so exciting.

This is working!

This little boy is lost. Go with the nice lady.

Three.

Throw it at the pretty ones!

Tied over money like Seacrest Put it on my life, baby.

To do better, to do more, to give more, to love more.

To remember both our triumphs and our missteps.

Trust me, but there's nothing little about those.

Tufts University.

Two.

Uh huh.

Uh...

Uh...

Um, okay, I'm gonna check on Kominsky. You find Jensen.

Um...

Um... I'm off at 1.

Um... ls there any way I can help you?

Um... Well, I need to go fix the ball, and you need to fix what you broke too.

Very cool, very horny.

Very good. You are the channel.

Wade said the mayor called.

Wait, wait! Get me down first! First, down!

Wait, wait! Sis, hold on.

Wait.

Watch him like a hawk.

Watch it!

Way to go, buddy!

We got passes to the after party at the Hard Rock.

We got to do something to get you out of your New Year's Eve funk.

We have five minutes apart.

We made it on time.

We now go live to New Year's headquarters for an update on the situation.

We smile tentatively at each other.

We talked for... It felt like hours.

We two have paddled in the stream

We two have run about the slopes

We watched the ball drop together? You remember?

We would go back there...

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

We'll take a cup of kindness yet

We'll... We'll be sure to get this fixed.

We're at a party.

We're getting closer, folks. Hope you're staying warm.

We're stuck in an elevator together. You're not gonna talk to me at all?

We've been stuck in here for hours. I can't believe nobody's found us yet.

Welcome to the Ahern Records Masked Ball.

Welcome to the Brooklyn Museum and the Ahern party. Please pull right up, sir.

Welcome to the world.

Well, another promise I didn't live up to. I'm sorry.

Well, I had a year to get ready.

Well, I knew you had a lot of other offers and I wanted you to take this one.

Well, I should apologize too. I really didn't mean that anything was on.

Well, I went to the restroom a little bit later and when I came back...

Well, I'm glad you did.

Well, I'm gonna gawk.

Well, it feels okay. Everyone talking at me.

Well, it is New Year's Eve. Anything's possible.

Well, look, I was just watching the ball drop and then...

Well, maybe, maybe not.

Well, my shift is up.

Well, you know what, Stan?

Well...

Well...

What better way to end this year, both good and bad...

What do you think?

What the hell are you doing?

What took so long?

What? Hey, Griff?

What? Uhn.

What?! He's coming out? You can see him?

What's your name? Ms. Withers.

Whatever. You know, I saw you kissing Lily Bowman.

When the road gets dark

Where in the world is the rest of that dress?

Where's Jensen?

Who is that?!

Who was right?

Whoa! Who lost this kid?

Whoa.

Whoo.

Why would you wanna be nice to me?

Why?

With all due respect, sir, I've been watching the ball drop since I was 5 years old...

Would you like to see what we do on New Year's Eve?

Wowee wow.

Yeah, I don't think so. I mean, I don't even know her name.

Yeah, I figured.

Yeah, I saw your speech on TV today.

Yeah, it's always like that.

Yeah, we have cars too.

Yeah.

Yeah. Happy New Year.

Yeah. I've played a nurse, a cop, a teacher.

Yeah. With or without me, so I should really get going.

Yep.

Yes, Claire.

Yes, it's good.

Yes, you are. Yeah.

Yes. At midnight.

Yes. Yes, I do.

You always were.

You are.

You are.

You came all the way here to bring me my rubber bracelet?

You could sing something for me.

You didn't have enough drive to get a real job...

You draw?

You got a chance to see how the other half lives, huh?

You got it.

You got it. Let me find Nolan to give you a lift, though.

You grew up in suburban fill in the blank.

You have no idea how worried I was.

You have to find the light that went out in over 3000?

You know what that feels like?

You know what that is?

You know what you're gonna say to these people?

You know what, I don't care about all that hoopla and stuff anyway.

You know what? I'm sorry.

You know where he got that from?

You look beautiful.

You look hot.

You make the other half look good.

You memorized it.

You mind taking these parachutes upstairs?

You need a pass to get back there.

You ran out on us last New Year's. Do you remember that?

You remember the '86 Mets Red Sox World Series?

You rock.

You said that we could change before dessert.

You said that we could change before dessert.

You see, time Time is our friend

You should come with me.

You should go to your party.

You should go.

You showed up.

You showed up.

You spoke eloquently about the ball getting stuck.

You start scanning the room for cute girls...
