Claire MorganAnd as you all can see, the ball has stopped half way to its perch. it's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop, and reflect on the year that has gone by, to remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken, the times we opened ourselves up to great adventures... or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt, because that's what new year's all about , getting another chance, a chance to forgive. to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more, and to stop worrying about what if... and start embracing what will be. so when that ball drops at midnight, and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other, and not just tonight but all year long.

SamSometimes it feels like there are so many things in this world we can't control. Earthquakes, floods, reality shows... But it's important to remember the things that we can. Like forgiveness, second chances, fresh starts... Because the one thing that turns the world from the longing place to a beautiful place... is love. Love and any of its forms. Love gives us hope... Hope for the New Year. That's what New Year's Eve is to me. Hope and a great party!

Claire Morgan[voice over, opening lines]Some people swear there's no beauty left in the world, no magic. Then, how do you explain the entire world coming together on one night to celebrate the hope of a new year?

Hailey - Mother & Daughter StoryThere's this guy in my history class. His name is Seth and I, I've... I've been hoping, you know, I have that sick dream that, you know, we get to hang out at midnight, and then, of course, you know, I'll come right home.
Kim - Mother & Daughter StoryHoney, I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm not confortable allowing you to stay in Times Square at night alone, period!
Hailey - Mother & Daughter StoryMom, you know I'm an honors student, okay? I don't drink or do drugs or anything! I'm trying really hard to be the perfect daughter, but it's like you don't trust me!
Hailey - Mother & Daughter StoryWell, then who do you not trust, mom? The world? You don't trust the world? Or it's just New York? Because it's a big scary city!

Hailey (segment "Mother & Daughter")I knew you gave up your own plans tonight just to be with me. I can't become your everything, mom. Please don't become a Piper's mom!
Hailey (segment "Mother & Daughter")Yes. Piper's mom, she... she hides in the bushes everyday just to make sure that Piper actually goes to school. It's... it's nuts.
Hailey (segment "Mother & Daughter")Mom, you've stopped trying. Okay? And you're being all clingy and mean. And it's because you don't have a man in your life. You really gotta find somebody. Look, mom, you're a hot woman. If you just, you know, lose the clogs maybe.
