- [Lily] Do you dare?
- Okay, crude girl.
- [Lily] Shall we begin?
- I don't know if I would trust a girl
who dares you to put cheese on a pie.
(soft music)
- That's actually really good.
(laughing)
- Sophia, you should try some of this.
I really,
I really think, it's honestly it's good.
- [Dash] Be inside grand central terminal
before the first train arrives,
I know it's early, but I promise
it is worth it.
♪ Ain't coming back ♪
There are few moments when you can find stillness
in the middle of the city,
when you can enjoy the heart
of New York without the crush of people.
Tell me what you see.
- I see the arch over the windows.
It's still dark outside,
but in here, sky is lit up with constellations.
The world feels big and small and all mine.
Hello!
Go to Dyker Heights,
start at the Nutcracker House.
You'll know it when you see it.
(festive music)
Are you there?
- I am here, Lily.
- [Lily] Write down what you see.
- I see plastic nutcrackers,
fake Santas and nothing that's real.
♪ Jack Frost nipping at your nose ♪
- [Lily] Now look again, give it another chance.
♪ Yuletide carols ♪
- I see an older couple
who probably come here every year
to take a picture in front of the same house.
Probably have years of those photographs
framed on their wall.
I see them holding hands
♪ He's loaded lots of toys ♪
and I think how they must know each other very well.
- [Lily] Be at the last house in the block
when the clock strikes five.
(clock chiming)
I'll send you a sign.
(festive music)
I believe in you notebook boy.
Do you still believe in me?
- [Dash] Let's get a snack.
Find the cart at 72nd and 2nd
and ask for Lot's Wife.
- Whoa, that's a lot of salt.
I'm supposed to eat this thing?
Okay, was that my punishment for asking your name?
Because you can be as salty as you want.
I'm not giving up.
It's hard, isn't it?
When you can't rely on language to give you an answer.
Like when you're trying to make mochi
in a kitchen full of Japanese grannies
You could ask for help.
- Never.
(banging)
Sorry.
- [Lily] But they wouldn't answer you anyway.
- Sadists.
Look at that one.
Perfect.
(Japanese music)
- Let's challah!
(punk music)
- [Dash] Weird is cool, Lily
and I am gonna prove it.
Happy Hannukah.
- It's punk show.
- A Jewish punk show?
Jew Core?
I love New York.
- [Dash] Go get weird Lily.
- Joe, Joe, red notebook.
That's our girl!
(crowd cheering)
- [Lily] Now I know you like stillness,
but you don't have to get up so early to find it.
You just need a lesson from my cousin in Central Park.
He's a zen master,
he can tune out any kind of noise.
(clapping)
- Come on little buddy blink.
- Hello.
- Take a picture with him.
- [Lily] A coded message,
you can decipher it with the right books,
but only if you can find them
(books slamming)
(upbeat music)
- Dash?
- Priya, hey.
- Anything she should know?
- Tell her I'm trying new things.
- Okay.
- [Dash] An artsy pop-up that I know you're gonna love.
- Crafting, honestly?
These dares are supposed to be challenging.
You seem to have misjudged me.
I made a Muppet.
It's what I think a friend of mine looks like in real life.
- He looks rude.
All right, now that we've created,
it's time to destroy.
- What's happening now?
- You literally break shit to feel better.
♪ And when you walk down the street ♪
(screaming)
♪ Say hello to things you know and everyone you meet ♪
(screaming)
(screaming) (bells jingling)
- [Lily] If you're brave enough to accept it
I dare you to ask Santa for my name.
- My Christmas list.
- I wanna give you a warning punk.
Our mutual friend happens to be very special to me
and I don't want her dating some snarky teenage smart ass.
- Ow.
Just gimme the hat.
- Promise me you won't hurt her.
(gasping)
- He stole Santa's hat!
(screaming)
(festive music)
- Huh, I'm gonna leave with this hat
and no one's gonna get hurt, okay.
- Hiya!
