- Andrew McAndrick: [Unrecognizable in a Santa Claus suit and passing by in a horse-drawn wagon] Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Miranda.
- Miranda Chester: [after he passes, to herself] How did you know my name?
- Miranda Chester: I don't belong here, Ian - not the way you do.
- Ian McAndrick: It's a tricky thing - belonging.
- Miranda Chester: Tricky? What does that mean?
- Ian McAndrick: Well, take me, for example. After I finished law school, I had job offers coming in from all over - New York, Los Angeles, you name it. Some of them were pretty good, too.
- Miranda Chester: I'm sure they were.
- Ian McAndrick: When I told them I was happy here, they assumed it was because this is where I grew up. Because it was so comfortable.
- Margaret Whitcomb: I'm afraid we may never be able to solve the mystery.
- Miranda Chester: Well, some mysteries are better left unsolved.
- Margaret Whitcomb: Perhaps you're right.
- Miranda Chester: I don't think I'm gonna find the answers I'm looking for.
- Ian McAndrick: I'm not sure what brought you here, Miranda. But I'm glad it did. And, while you are here, you might as well enjoy it. After all, it is Christmas. All those questions you have - they'll still be waiting for you.
