[intro music]

- Thanks for tuning in to this week's episode of

Love Is On The Air.

Whether you're married, dating, or still looking for

that special someone, Nikki P is here to answer

all your burning love questions.

First up, we've got Alicia C in Tucson, Arizona.

Alicia, how is your heart today?

- Not great, Nikki.

- I'm sorry to hear that, hon. Fill me in.

- Well, my boyfriend of five years, who I love

desperately just landed his dream job.

- Ah, Alicia that's great news.

- Two states away.

- Okay, I'm starting to see the problem here.

I'm guessing you're not willing to relocate?

- I love my job and I've worked

so hard to get to where I am. It just doesn't

make sense for me. But I really think he's the

one, and I don't know what to do.

Long-distance scares me.

- Well, if you're an avid listener of the podcast,

then you know that me and Mr. Right

did long distance for two whole years.

- You did!

- Oh, yeah.

And it was hard, but we made sure that we saw

each other at least every two weeks,

and we prioritized communication above all else.

If he really is your Mr. Right, then nothing will get

in the way of you two being together.

Okay, I don't care if - [stammering]

I don't care if he has to send a carrier pigeon,

okay? If he cares, he'll, he will make the effort.

[stammering] Besides, in my experience,

[stammering] distance makes the heart grow fonder.

- What is that?

- Uhh... Nothing.

Thank you so much for your call, Alicia.

More of your questions and my answers after

these short messages.

- Nikki.

- I know, I know I'm dealing with it, okay.

Just hold on.

[footsteps]

[knocking]

- Luke!

[door banging]

- Luke, I know you're in there!

[door opens]

- Oh Nikki, what a surprise.

I almost didn't hear you banging

and screaming. What can I do for you?

- This can't keep happening.

- Hmm... You're storming up here and interrupting

my work. I could not agree more.

- No, you are interrupting my work. I'm trying

to record my podcast.

- Hmm that's right. Your little podcast.

- I'll have you know that we have over five million

subscribers so it's not exactly what I would

call little.

- Mhm well, you know what I have? A real job.

I need to get back to it. So-

- Oh, you write jingles for cereal companies.

Your job is no more legitimate than mine.

[exhales]

- You know, ever since you've moved in here, I cannot

get through one recording session without

you just ruining everything.

I can't, I can't keep living like this.

- What do you want me to do about it?

- Play your piano some other times!

- Play my piano? [stammering]

Would 6 A. M. suit her majesty?

- I just need you to be quiet between the hours

of 12:00 and 4:00 p. m.

- Well, you see, that is when my creativity

is at its peak. Can't you just record

your podcast some other time?

- No, I have listeners across the country. That's

the timezone sweet spot.

- Well, then I guess we're at a stalemate.

Well, I've lived here longer so I have seniority.

[laughing]

[bang on the door]

- And I happen to know that you have a propane

barbecue on your balcony,

and it would be such a shame if the super were

to find out.

- Fine.

You can have noon to four.

- Thank you.

Thank you for your cooperation!

[door closing]

[clears throat]

Sorry for the interruption, Mike.

I am back, and I am ready to roll.

- Nikki?

- Mike?

- We need to talk.

- May I ask what this is in regards to?

- I'll explain over coffee after the show.

You got callers waiting. Let's go.

[exhales deeply]

- We're back! And we've got Tabatha

from Salt Lake City on the line.

- Tabatha, what's in your heart today?

- Mike, I know what you're going to say,

and obviously the noise is not ideal.

- Oh Nikki. I uh-

- I know you don't like my setup

but you know how comfortable

I am recording at home.

- Nikki, honestly I just-

- Hear me out.

I've got a solution.

We just kill my neighbor.

- I'm kidding. Obviously, murder's not an option.

Who do you think-

- Nikki!

[laughs]

You podcasters just love the sound of your

own voices, don't you?

Oh, well,

right on cue.

[footsteps approaching]

- I'm so sorry I'm late.

[clears throat]

Nikki Parsons.

What a pleasure it is to finally meet you.

- And you as well.

Mr. ?

- Nikki, this is Archie Wessel

of Wessel Publishing.

- I'm Archie Weisel of Weisel Publishing.

- Weisel.

- Oh.

- As I was about to say,

Mr. Weisel here has expressed deep interest

in adapting your podcast to a book.

- I'm sorry [laughs nervously]

what?

- Oh, I'm a longtime listener from day one.

I find your advice to be fair, concise,

and heartfelt. And to hear the love story

unfolding between you and Mr. Right,

well,

you can't make that stuff up.

That's like something straight out of a

fairy tale.

So what I'm envisioning is a deep dive

into the relationship.

We know that you have thousands of callers,

calling in every day for advice. But why not

give them the inside scoop on how you

and Mr. Right became the power couple

that we all know and love.

We could call it something like

"Finding Mr. Right".

- I have no words.

This is... This is like a dream come true.

I uhm...

I don't know if you know this about me but

my podcast started out as a weekly column.

I'm a writer at heart.

- Oh, I'm well aware.

I've done my research.

I've read all of your articles.

You have quite a way with words.

- Where do I sign?

- Okay, hey, Nicky, let's just uh

pump the brakes a little here. I'm sure

Mr. Weisel would like to go over

some of the logistics?

- Yes, yes. And thank you for bringing that up,

Mike. As you may or may not know,

Weisel Publishing has been my family's

legacy for generations.

Therefore, it's very important

for me to meet each prospective writer

before I make any commitment.

Get to know them.

I need to make sure that each new prospective

member of the Weisel Publishing family

is a good fit.

That they can be trusted.

- Naturally...

- I would like to invite you to join me

at my annual writers meet and greet at my estate,

Martha's Vineyard, this weekend.

- Count me in.

-Well, it's nothing fancy. Just a few perspective,

writers gathering to share some good food,

stimulating conversation, and general merriment.

I love to host. Oh, I do hope that

you enjoy croquet.

- Love croquet.

- Well, then I think that we are going to

get along swimmingly.

Oh, I've got to scoot.

I've got another meeting.

Oh, and one more thing.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist that you

bring along Mr. Right.

- Mr. Right. Right.

- Well, if I'm going to sign off on a book

about the two of you, I'm gonna have to meet

the man in question.

Otherwise, how will I know he's even real?

[laughing]

- Did you see?

Did you see that?

- I think you're [laughs]

Oh. He is going to be so excited.

I can't wait to tell him.

A book deal. Can you believe it?

Here I was thinking you were going to fire me.

Everything's coming up roses.

- Uhm, Nikki, all roses have thorns.

- What are you talking about?

- I don't know. Maybe just the fact that

Mr. Right doesn't even exist.

[shushing]

- Careful. Someone might hear you.

Look, I have faked Mr. Right's existence for

long enough. What's one more weekend?

- Nikki, you heard the man. He's obviously

a huge fan. If he doesn't meet him this

weekend, he's going to want him next.

And I don't know if you forgot that this whole deal

revolves around your love story.

No Mr. Right, no book deal.

- Well, I can't lose this book deal. It's been my dream

since I was a little girl.

- Not to mention, the podcast would have a

major boost.

- Not helping.

- I don't know. I only see one option,

and I have to find a Mr. Right by tomorrow.

You. You. You could be my Mr. Right.

- Nikki, he just met me.

He knows who I am. And I don't know.

I'm just thinking out loud here.

My wife might be opposed to that idea.

What good are you?

Think, Nikki, think.

- Nikki, you're smart. I believe in you.

You got one day, and go.

- Hey Jake, it's uh, it's me,

Nikki.

Nikki, Nikki Parsons.

Japan, huh? Yeah, that sounds far.

How many kids is that?

Hi. This is Nikki Parsons.

I believe you did my teeth cleaning a few years ago.

- But I just missed you so much.

Please Nikki, just give me one more chance.

- So that's it.

I am officially out of options. I give up.

- There's really no one else?

- You heard the part about my dental hygienist, right?

Let me look through my contacts.

I'm sure I could find someone desperate enough to-

- Whew, pizza. Hold on.

Thank y-

- Hi.

-Hi.

Are you okay?

- Do I look okay?

- Your pizza got delivered to my door again.

You really need to get your buzzer fixed, okay?

- You really need to fix your attitude.

- Jeez, sounds like a man!

-Who's on the phone?

-Nobody. Thank you for the pizza.

- What's this?

- They're fumigating the building.

We're getting kicked out for the long weekend.

- Great. Just what I needed.

-Yeah. Tell me about it. I'm new in town, and I

don't have a couch to crash on.

Why am I telling you this?

- I don't know.

- Okay, bye.

- Bye bye then.

[door closed] - Ask him. Ask him. Ask him.

-I'm sorry, were you saying something?

Are you kidding me? Why don't you ask him?

Because I hate him.

Nikki, he needs somewhere to go this weekend.

You're both out of options. Now go.

Okay, fine, fine, fine.

[door opens]

Yo, Luke!

[footsteps]

He, he, hey

You, just the guy

I was looking for.

-Yeah, we were literally just talking.

[laughing]

-You are funny. I had no idea you were so funny.

-What's going on? What was in that pizza?

- Nothing. I actually haven't had it yet.

I was, I was wondering if you wanted to split it with me,

because there's just way too much for a little ol' me.

- You want to share your pizza with me?

- Yep.

Okay, I have a favor to ask you.

[laughing] Yeah, yeah. Okay, just laugh it up.

- I just, you made up a boyfriend.

- Yes.

- You have a fake boyfriend.

That is literally the saddest thing I've ever heard.

- Never should have told you.

- Oh no, no, no. I won't tell anyone.

It's just really funny.

- Okay, well, you can just enjoy sleeping

in your car this weekend.

- Oh come on.

- Out.

- Alright.

- Wait.

You can have a noon to 4:00.

- So you are really desperate, huh?

- I'm asking you, aren't I?

- If I'm going to do this for you,

you have to be nice to me.

- Please.

Oh, thank you.

-Absolutely not.

- What?

- We can't use this car!

This isn't Mr. Right's car!

- Need I remind you that I am Mr. Right?

And this is my car.

Therefore, this is Mr. Right's car.

What is all that?

- Oh, those are clothes I bought you. We're going to

return them after the weekend, so don't spill anything.

- What makes you think I would spill anything? And why can't I wear

my clothes?

- Okay. Mr. Right is aspirational. He's a successful

human rights lawyer who minored in English literature and

is an avid badminton golf and croquet player. Not a disheveled

jingle writer who doesn't know how to match his socks.

-I can match my socks. Thank you. And need I remind you

that Mr. Right isn't real.

- Of course, I know he isn't real.

But I've gotten very specific about him in my podcast and

if Archie is as big as a fan as he claims,

we can't be risking any inconsistencies.

Just covering my bases.

Careful with that.

-Do we need all this?

- I'll drive. You have a lot of studying to do.

- What is this?

- That is everything you need to know about Mr. Right.

- You cannot be serious.

- Keys, please.

Careful!

Yikes.

Ugh, there's a smell.

-Wow. So this is how the other half lives, huh?

- Okay, so just remember, you need-

Wait, how did you already stain these pants?

- It's fine. Come on. It's nothing. You can barely see it.

- Those were not cheap!

- It's fine. It's fine.

- What do you mean it's fine? -Come on.

- Look it, what did you do? - You can barely see it.

- How did you not notice that you did that?

- I don't care about the fact that I did that.

is the main thing. - Maybe you don't care cause you're not paying

for those pants. They were very expensive.

-Well, you shouldn't have bought white, should you?

[knock on door]

I think it's starting to set, too.

-It's not starting to set.

- Ooh, club soda! Do you have club soda?

- I don't have club soda. What-

- Nikki, you made it. I was beginning to worry.

- Sorry, car troubles.

- And you must be the mysterious Mr. Right.

- That is me.

That's me.

- Oh, I can't tell you how thrilled I am to

have you both join us.

Come! Come, come, come.

- Come join the rest of the gang. - Okay

- After you, sweetie.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

- Now, this is Jack Forrester. He's an up-and-coming mystery

writer. Rumor has it. He's a bit of a Sherlock himself.

So all of your secrets will be revealed... eventually.

And that's Dr. Harriet Brown, and her husband, Moody Chandler.

No, that doesn't seem right.

I heard Dr. Brown give a lecture

in San Francisco last year, and it absolutely changed my life.

- Nikki, what a pleasure? I am a huge fan of your podcast.

That episode where you help that couple work through their

underlying resentments after they were forced to move in

with their in-laws was truly inspiring.

-Thank you so much.

That means a lot, especially coming from you.

- And this is my husband Chandler. - Hi, how are you?

- Yes, of course, how can I forget, Chandler Moody.

And, now you are an insta poet, is that right?

- That's correct. - His latest poetry slam performance

between the leaves is going viral as we speak.

- Ah, well we'll have to check that out.

- And you must be Mr. Right!

I have goosebumps. You're exactly as I pictured you.

- Ah.

- Oh, but this is silly.

We can't go on calling you Mr. Right all weekend.

We don't even know your real name.

- Grant

- Uhh, Brick-

ton.

Yeah, uh, Grant Brickton.

I come from a long line of Masons.

- Interesting.

Well, I look forward to hearing more about that.

-Well, I look forward to telling you all more about that.

- Well grab your weapon of choice.

We are in the middle of a heated game of bocce.

- You know, we actually would love to freshen up

a little. Long drive.

- Oh, yes, of course. Let me give you the

grand tour. Come, come, come.

-Nice to meet you all.

- Ciao.

-And this will be your room.

- Huh. - Right. One bed.

- For both of us.

-Now, Im going to leave you two lovebirds alone, but I'll see

you both at 5:00 for cocktail hour.

- Ooh. - Great, cocktail hour.

So, rock, paper, scissors?

-What? No way. I'm taking the bed.

- Why should you get the bed?

- Because I'm the lady.

- Yeah, the lady I'm doing a huge favor for.

- Oh, I am so sorry that I dragged you to this gorgeous

estate where you're going to be served five star meals

and surrounded by gorgeous scenery in the top intellectual

minds of this country. And you should be thanking me.

- Thanking you? Okay, well, you know what I might do

instead of thanking you is

go tell everyone that we're putting on a big charade.

- Shh. Shh. Stop!

- Fine. We'll, alternate. One night on, one night off.

-Alternate? Okay. And you know what,

since I'm such a gentleman, I'll even let you have

the first night.

- Wow, chivalry isn't dead.

-You know, keeping it alive.

- So that could have gone better.

- Yeah. I'm surprised you don't know your

own boyfriend's name.

- Yeah, I don't know why. I just always

call him Mr. Right.

I created this perfect love story with a perfect

man, and it worked. My listeners responded and my subscribers

doubled. Everyone loves Mr. Right. He is the perfect man.

-Well, he doesn't exist.

- Exactly.

- Good luck with that.

Ooh, swag.

I love free stuff.

- Were you born in a barn? Stop it.

You have to read the card first.

- Let the games begin.

What do you think that means?

- I don't know. Scrabble?

- I'm starting us off with a round of refreshing

gin rickey's in honor of one

of my favorite novels of all time. Can anyone guess?

(All) The Great Gatsby?

- Yes

- Well, Great Gatsby was, like, my favorite novel in high school.

- Oh, thank you. - Oh, thank you.

- Is this a first edition Huckleberry Finn?

- Oh, yes. That belongs to my husband,

actually.

-Oh I didn't know you were married.

- Yes, going on 15 years now.

- Will he be joining us this weekend?

- No.

He has business overseas.

Would you, excuse me, I'm, I'm going to go check on dinner.

- Nikki, join me.

- Are you coming? - Uh, Yeah.

You know what, I'll catch up with you.

I think that's an antique golden age Steinway.

- Just don't break anything.

- I'm not gonna break anything.

- And don't talk too much.

- Nikki? - Go!

-She's a beauty, isn't she?

- Oh, yeah.

- Do you play?

- I dabble.

Dabble.

- I didn't get a chance to properly introduce myself.

Jack Forrester.

- Yeah, no, the, the mystery writer.

- Grant Brickstone.

- Sorry, I must have misheard. I could have

sworn you said Brickton.

- Oh, what's in this drink?

Uh no. It is, it is Brickton. It used to be Brickstone

and my grandfather, he changed it. Long time ago.

- Hmm. This place is pretty impressive, huh?

- Mhmm. - Did you see the gift baskets?

-Yeah, yeah, pretty swanky stuff.

Hey, did yours come with a note?

- Let the games begin.

-Yeah. What do you think that means?

- I, I know what it means.

-You do?

- My sources tell me that this long weekend is more

than just a meet and greet.

- What are you boys talking about over here?

- Well, Harriet and I have it on good authority that

this weekend, it's actually a test.

And, there’s only one book deal up for grabs.

- I'm sorry. One book deal?

Well then, why would he invite us all here?

-To assess who the most deserving candidate is?

-He's very particular about who he works with.

-So how does that work for the two of you then?

-What do you mean?

-Well, you're a couple competing for the same book deal.

-Well, in my opinion, and Nikki,

I'm sure you can weigh in on this.

Every relationship can greatly benefit

from a healthy dose of competition.

It helps keep the spark alive.

- Harriet and I have a very egalitarian marriage.

-Grant, I would love to hear

in your words how you and Nikki met.

- In, In my words?

- Yes, I followed your relationship

from Nikki's point of view, but I think we'd all love to

hear your side.

- Yeah, right, of course. Well.

[Nervous laugh]

Oh yeah, it was, it was a warm summer night.

- It was September.

-Right.

One of those hot September nights.

Anyways, I was sitting on a patio,

having Italian food. - Chinese.

-That's right.

Noodles were involved.

Now I remember. Anyway, there she was, just

sitting alone at the bar. The most beautiful woman I'd ever

seen. Couldn't take my eyes off her.

I had to go over and talk to her.

- Now, this is the best part

tell them what you said.

- What, what was that thing I said, sweetie?

- Casablanca, honey.

- Right. Yes.

Of all the gin joints in all the towns,

in all the world,

(all) she walks into mine.

-I slept like a log last night.

- Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

-Sorry to interrupt you moment of solitude.

-Oh. no.

- So who are you really?

-I'm sorry, what?

- Sorry to be so blunt. I'm never my

best in the morning, but, yeah, who are you?

- Grant Brikstone.

-But I could have sworn you said Brickton?

- Right.

- Yeah, that.

- Okay, what gave me up?

- For one, you keep getting your name wrong.

The sloppy storytelling.

Not to mention when you lie, you pick at your left thumb nail.

Now, don't tell me you're, you're

you’re an artist, a musician, more specifically.

-How did you possibly know that?

- Every time a song comes on, you play the chords

with your left hand, like you're playing a piano.

- I do?

-You do.

- Good morning, boys. - Hey.

- That, that is very, very

impressive, Jack, and very bad. Nikki is going to kill me.

-Hey, don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.

I don't think anyone else has figured it out.

- Well, I'm Luke.

- It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luke.

So what's the story?

- Luke?

Oh no!

Oh why, why me?

Ow!

-Yeah. So that's the long and short of it.

I just hope that I can pull this off.

- Well don't let my figuring it out worry you.

When you write as many mystery stories as I do,

you pick up on a few things.

- Good morning, gentlemen.

Oh, there she is.

-Jack, would you mind if I just grab

my boyfriend for a quick second?

- All yours.

- Duty calls.

- Good morning, sunshine.

-Why didn't you wake me up?

- Cause you look so peaceful. I didn't want to disturb you.

-I am missing valuable face-to-face time with Archie.

How do you think this makes me look?

- It doesn't make you look

- I hope I'm not interrupting a lover's quarrel.

- No

- No - No

- We were

- Just arguing about who wrote all of Shakespeare's plays.

I mean, he couldn’t have possibly written them all, right?

- My husband and I argue about that all the time.

-So cute. It's just, just like us, hon.

-Or we used to. Anywho, if everyone

is fed and caffeinated, I'd like to invite you to join

me out on the lawn. I've got something planned that I

know the two of you are really going to enjoy. Come.

Come, come, come.

- Oh, hey, hold my hand.

-Nothing brightens my day like a game of croquet.

Oh, that rhymes. Now, I'm an insta poet too. [chuckles]

I hope you're all ready for some fierce but fun competition.

-Well, you should be a shoe-in, Grant, considering your family's

annual croquet tournament.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, you all better

watch out.

I never played croquet in my life. What are we going to do?

- Sorry. How was I supposed to know we're going to

play croquet.

- Oh, I don't know. We're at an estate in

Martha's Vineyard.

I think it's safe to assume.

- Okay, just calm down.

Luckily, croquet is very straightforward. You just

aim for the hoop, hit the ball, and believe in yourself.

-Very helpful. Thank you.

- Come on, lovebirds.

Show us what you're made of.

- Oh.

-Yeah, too bad.

- Just warming up.

- Next time, aim for the -The hoop.

I know. Aim for the hoop.

It's very clear. Thank you.

- I'm just trying to help.

-You're not helping.

-That's how it's done.

- You know you're supposed to be good at this.

- I am trying.

-Try much harder.

- Oh, good job. -Yes

All right, Nikki, you're up.

- Good luck.

-Oh, haha.

- Nice shot, superstar.

-You're throwing me off my game.

- Yeah, what game?

- All clean shot. Yeah.

Oh, well done.

- We're so far behind. - He owns the house.

What do you expect?

- What does it have to do with anything?

Hoop, hoop, aim for the hoop.

- The hoop. Aim for the hoop.

Can't get any worse, right?

- Just warming up.

- Yeah, just a bit rusty.

Just a little bit. - Just warming up.

- Oh, he knicked it Archie.

-I'm sure we can all agree that Grant can have a do-over.

-Thank you, Archie. Thank you.

- Say, Grant at the family

thanksgiving tournament, who are you?

The turkey? [laughs]

- Focus, focus.

So Grant, how many tournaments have you won?

- Enough. Enough.

- Yeah, obviously. -Just a little off today. -It's just,

- Just a little off today.

- Just a little off.

- Oh, oh. - Grant!

- What?

- Don’t take me down with you.

- I'm not trying to get you down.

- You are taking me down.

I am not! [yelling]

Oh, oh, sweetie, oh yeah, it's that call. The important

lawyer phone call with the human rights

officer guy.

You know what guys, I'm just going to take this,

proceed on without me, and I'll be back.

-Wow, trouble in paradise.

- I'm going to go.

Yeah. Yeah.

- His phone wasn't even on.

- Ooh, there you go, darling.

- Hey. - Hey

look, Nikki, I don't think I can do this, okay.

- No, no, no. Luke, I'm sorry, okay. I shouldn't have snapped at you.

-Aren't we supposed to be this like perfect couple?

- I know, okay. I'm just stressed out, and everything is falling apart.

And maybe you were right. Maybe

I was crazy to think this could work.

We should just cut our losses and go home.

-Just wait, wait, wait.

We've come this far.

We may as well

see it through.

We can do this.

- You think?

-Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, we can't convince them that I'm any better at croquet.

-That's baseball. Croquet is like this.

- Whatever.

But, we can convince them

that we’re in love.

- Yeah

Yeah, we can do that.

- We can do this.

But we got to be a team.

- Deal.

-Is everything all right with you two?

-Yes. We are so sorry

about that. We just got a little carried away. Works been

very stressful for Grant. A lot of human rights issues.

-And I know how important this weekend is to Nikki, and I

guess I just cracked into the pressure so.

- Well just the fact that you put your own work aside

to be here for her is a real testament to your relationship.

- The key is to listen and to not place any blame,

and to remember that

we are on the same team.

- Am I lucky man or what?

- Psst. Hey, I’m going to go for a walk. You want to come?

-Hey, Grant. I was hoping we could finish our conversation

on the Galveston treaty, and how that'll affect world

peace on a global scale.

- Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Nikki, Nikki, Nikki,

Hey, hey, wait up.

- Hi. I thought you were exhausted.

-Well, I was until Chandler wanted to talk about

some human rights treaty.

- Good call.

- You couldn’t have just made Mr. Right like a fireman or something.

- Well to be a fireman, you'd have to be up before noon every day.

- How dare you?

I've been up before noon.

- Okay. - Once.

- Because I’m the one doing all the work here.

- Get down, get down.

-you're asking questions, and I don't know what I'm suppose

to tell them anymore. I have to keep making up excuses.

-We can't let him know that we're eavesdropping.

-Why are we eavesdropping?

-If I can gather some Intel, the movie will give me a leg

up on the book deal, you know?

- Seems manipulative, but okay.

- And there's a mystery writer. He, he's starting to

suspect. I can tell. Makes me very very nervous. No, don't

hang up on me. Don't you dare hang up on me. I am. Because

I am upset. Does it mean nothing to you?

- Oh. Go, over there.

- Where? Where? Go where? - This way.

- Get down.

- Down? - Get down.

I'm down. -Move!

- Where are you taking me?

-Stop asking too many questions.

What are we doing?

- Of course, your pants are ruined again.

-Oh, and who's fault is that, James Bond?

-Oh wow, this place is beautiful. Look at all these orchids.

- You know, Archie isn't messing around.

These things are expensive.

- Yeah

So can you please stop pawing at them.

- I'm not pawing at them, thank you.

- I just don't want you to break anything.

-Why do you always think I'm going to ruin everything?

- I didn’t do that. You did that.

- Okay. I just want to get through this

weekend without any disasters.

- Oh no, no, no. - Wow.

- Oh, no, no, no, no. - Looks like I'm not the

one we've got to worry about, huh? - No, no, no, no. Help me.

-I thought I heard voices in here.

-Hi Archie.

We were, we were admiring your beautiful orchid collection.

- Oh, yes, they're like my babies. My husband and

I have been collecting them for years.

- And this one, this

is so unique.

- Oh, yes, this is the Golden Moon Orchid. You

can only find it in India. It's very rare. Legend has it

if tended properly. It can bring you fortune and prosperity.

-Well, you must be taking very good care of it then.

- I got it at the annual orchid auction. That's where I met my

husband. We were in a bidding war, and we decided to share

custody. These are all worth a small fortune, but this

one is priceless to me.

- A small fortune?

- Oh, oh.

Oh, I’ve got to take this. Excuse me.

-Okay. It's going to be fine, okay?

Just find another pot, and I'm going to salvage as much soil as

I can, okay?

- Ta da!

- Are you blind? We can't use this pot. He's going to know.

-He's not going to notice.

- You heard him. These are his babies!

- You need to calm down.

- I'm never going to get this book deal now.

- Look, it's going to be fine, okay? Watch, watch,

watch, watch. We put that in there.

- That's messy.

- No, it's good. It's good.

See? Good as new.

-He's going to know.

- Look, if it's alive, then what's the difference, okay?

Come on. You know what? You just need to get your mind

off this, okay?

- Yeah, okay.

- Okay.

- Mr. Right is an excellent badminton player.

Obviously.

So how about we go over the basics

and take it from there?

- Why don't we just hit the birdie, huh?

- Okay.

Are you sure you don't want to go over the rules first?

Like how to serve properly. I'm just trying to avoid a

whole other croquet disaster.

- You know, I think I got this.

-All right. We'll start off slow.

Beginner's luck.

- What is that?

-Ah, I believe in badminton terms, that's what they call a

winner.

Yeah, I coached in high school, college.

Badminton is kind of my thing.

- You coached badminton?

- Came in handy just now, didn’t it?

- Why didn't you tell me?

-I didn't want to ruin the opportunity to

take that smug look off your face.

- You are just. - Amazing.

I know.

- You two up for a game of doubles?

- Maybe you redeem yourself.

What? He knows I'm kidding, right Grant?

- Yeah you bet.

- Let's spin for serve. - Yep.

- Oh, that's us. Let's go!

- I'll take the back.

- We got this.

Here we go.

Nice, nice.

- Oh. - It's okay, it's okay.

- That’s out!

- Nice!

- Okay, let's go again.

- Got that one? - Yep.

- Oh, you got it.

- Got it! - Got it!

- Chandler!

[Cheering]

[Clapping hands]

- What a thrilling game!

The teamwork, the silent communication, the athleticism,

you see that is what makes a power couple.

and a valiant effort from Harriet.

and Chandler too.

A game well-played by all.

- You see me playing with my wrist isn't acting up.

- No one likes a poor loser, Chandler.

Now, the winning couple, I’m going to gift you with a real treat.

Something that helps me gain a new perspective.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Archie.

- Oh, no, you earned it. You deserve it. Now,

come, come, come. Let's all go get cleaned up for dinner.

Hearing about your dynamic is one thing, but to see the

two of you in action, that was something to behold,

-Archie, you're too kind.

- No, no, no, you have to give yourself

credit. Relationships can be hard, but you two seem to

have something really special here, I can tell by the

way you two look at each other.

-Well, it's not always easy. I mean, she can be pretty stubborn

and kind of bossy. And sometimes when she doesn't have things

just right.

But it's her heart that always wins me back.

She's just got this really special soul.

- Oh, you two must think I'm a

silly old fool, but I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm a sucker

for love. I'm going to go, and I'm going to round up the rest

of the gang. Nikki, I've such a good feeling about you.

- A special soul. -I don't know, okay. I was put on the spot.

Besides, I'm not the writer here.

- Well either way, I think he bought it.

-I think he did.

-I just don't understand how you can say that he's derivative.

He's one of the most original authors of our time.

- Oh, give me a break. His prose are

ripped directly from the pages of Tolstoy.

-Harriet has a valid point.

Nikki, you've been silent for this entire debate.

I'm sure you have some insights for us.

- I haven't read this particular book, so

I don't have any opinions to share on said piece.

- Oh, well perhaps you could share with us some of the books that

have influenced you over the past few years. -Oh, I would

- Oh, I would have to say the Parisian Rendezvous.

- I also love the four seasons of Lola Mae.

I like romance.

- Romance, how adorable, right?

- Well, actually, romance is one of the top

grossing literary genres in the world.

-Well, I don't mind admitting that I for one

cannot resist a good romantic story every now and then.

I mean, we all need a little escapism, right?

- Yeah, I was just going to say how much I

adore the genre. I love pride and prejudice.

-Speaking of romance, Grant, I would love to hear more about

your love story with Nikki.

- Yeah. Um, what would you like to hear?

- When was the first time you said, I love you?

-Well, I wanted it to be special.

I take the words ‘I love you’ very seriously.

And so I waited.

- And waited and waited.

-Until I knew I was sure.

Until I knew it was real.

But there was no denying it.

I was head over heels,

and I needed her to know.

and so one afternoon, I snuck into her apartment,

and I filled the room with her favorite flower.

Lilies.

And I got her favorite pizza from the place on the corner,

pepperoni, onions, mushrooms and extra cheese.

- And as soon as he walked in, I just knew.

He didn't have to say the words. His actions said it all.

-It was just another night at home,

just the two of us.

But this time was different,

because this time,

it was real.

- Yeah.

It was just

the two of us, and thousands and thousands of flowers.

-To true love.

(All) To true love.

- To true love.

- Well, now, I'd like to invite you all to join me in

the home theater downstairs tonight in honor of our own

happy couple. We will be screening, Casablanca.

-Hey, thank you.

-Yeah. Let's go.

-Oh, it's, um, it's your turn to take the bed tonight, remember?

-Oh, I'm already set up. You know, I've got all my stuff so

it's not so bad. You keep the bed.

- Thank you. -Yeah.

-What you writing?

- Nothing, really.

Okay, well, every

once in awhile, when a song lyric or idea pops into my

head, I just jot it down.

-Ah, you mean for one of your jingles?

-No, not for one of my jingles. Believe it or not,

I actually had greater aspirations for myself at one point.

I'm a songwriter.

Folk, specifically.

- That's so cool.

Is there anything I would have heard?

-Well, I sold a couple of songs a few years ago, but

the industry can be pretty inconsistent.

And so I picked up jingle writing to make ends meet. And

I don't know, I guess that took up so much of my time that

the songwriting just kind of fell to the wayside. So to

answer your question, probably not.

-Can I read some?

-Yeah,

yeah. I mean, I don't know how good it'll be without the

music, you know. But,

why not?

- This is like poetry.

-Thanks.

Yeah, I mean, you know, I've got the words. I just need to let

the music come to me now.

-Seriously, Luke, you've got a gift.

You should perform this, you know, get it out there.

-No, no, no, I'm not a performer. I'm just a songwriter.

- Well, I don't know about that.

You put out quite the performance tonight.

-That was pretty good, huh? -Yeah

- I guess I’m tapping into my inner Mr. Right.

-How did you know that lilies are my favorite flower?

-Oh, I don't know.

I guess I just noticed that every Sunday

without fail, you come back from the farmers market with

an apple strudel and a bouquet of fresh lilies. So I just

put two and two together.

-Aren't you observant?

-Yeah, living upstairs from someone

you pick up on a thing or two.

- Oh, yeah?

What else have you noticed?

-Well, judging from the

amount of take out that you order, you either hate cooking

or are very bad at it.

-Correct on both counts.

-Oh, you put

onions and mushrooms on your pizza, which tells me you

have no taste.

-Hey.

-I'm just telling it like it is.

oh, and

every Friday night, instead of going out with your friends,

you have a slumber party with your niece.

Which tells me that you put family above all

and you have a big heart.

-Or do you mean a special soul?

- Okay. Smart aleck.

What have you picked up about me?

- Oh, you mean besides the loud footsteps and the incessant

jingle playing?

-Besides the obvious, yeah.

-Well, I, I know you

subscribe to the Boston Voice and the Massachusetts Independent,

which makes me think you have an interest in current events

and politics.

-Correct.

-You also subscribe to beautiful

botany, which makes me think

you have a bit of a green thumb.

-I may have a pretty extensive herb garden.

-Oh, and

every Saturday morning, you make yourself this full breakfast.

I mean, I'm talking pancakes and bacon, the works.

The smell is intoxicating.

-You can smell that?

-Maybe when we're

back in the city, you should come over, and I'll make you

my famous French toast.

-I'd like that.

We should get some sleep

-Yeah, big day tomorrow.

-Good night, Luke

-Good night, Nikki.

[phone vibrating]

-Hello.

-Hello. Updates here, please. I'm going crazy.

-Wait, wait, wait. One sec.

Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?

It's 10:30.

-Oh, really?

Man, time feels like it doesn't exist here.

-Oh, so you're actually having fun?

-Yeah.

I mean, it’s been stressful, but good overall.

-Wow. So you're actually pulling

this off then.

-Was there ever any doubt?

-Yeah, yeah, no

many doubts. Yeah.

-Well, thank you for the vote of confidence.

-Well, it's a bit of a crazy scheme, and this guy’s a bit of a wild card.

-I know. There's a bit of an adjustment period,

but we talked it out

and turns out we make a pretty good team.

-No, no, no. Nikki,

don't, don't do this.

-Don't do what?

You're totally falling for this guy.

-No, I'm not.

-You got that twinkle in your voice.

-Voices don't twinkle.

-You know what I mean. Nikki, this

isn't good, okay? You understand that this is all a fantasy.

And you understand that he's not actually Mr. Right, right?

-Mike, I have got this under control.

-I understand that

- Shhh.

I understand. But you're my husband,

-I’m going to call you back. - and I wanted you here.

-No, Nikki wait. Nikki.

-But if you could

just put yourself in my position for one-

I miss you.

Fine.

Fine. We can talk about it in the morning.

[phone vibrating]

Sorry.

Okay, bye.

-What are we doing on a boat?

-I just needed to get away.

Something happened.

-Oh, no, someone onto us?

-No, no one knows.

-Except for Jack.

-What?

What?

-What? Jack knows.

-No.

-Luke!

-Okay, yes, but I didn't say anything to him, okay?

He just sort of

figured it out.

-Everything is falling apart.

-No, it's not, okay.

Jack's a nice guy. He's not going to say anything.

What happened?

-I was up late last night, and I heard these

voices upstairs, and I went and I might have eavesdropped

on Archie arguing with his husband, who's alive by the way.

-So wait, you just overheard some things you weren't supposed

to. What's the big deal?

-He caught me.

-What did he say?

-Nothing. I just, I froze and I was like, okay, bye. And then

I ran away.

-Ah, well, that's one way to handle things.

- He looked really upset. And I just,

I feel like I messed everything up.

-Look, all you need to do is apologize.

-No, he wants nothing to do with me,

okay. He basically ran away from me this morning.

- Well what choice do you have?

-Throw myself off this boat.

-Or you could

face it head-on. I mean, you help people deal with their

interpersonal relationships for a living. Maybe you could

help turn this whole thing around for him.

-You're right.

I'm going to go talk to him.

-You're really good at this advice stuff too, you know.

-I learned from the best.

Permission to enter.

-Nikki.

-I really wanted to apologize

about last night.

-There's absolutely no need.

-No, it was a total invasion

of your privacy. And I should have known better.

-And I shouldn't have been so evasive this morning.

I'm not behaving like myself lately.

Obviously, there's been some

tension between my husband and I.

-Well, no pressure, but

if you want to talk about it, I'm all ears.

-You are so

sweet, but I wouldn't want to impose.

-No, not at all.

I mean this is kind of what I do.

I'd be happy to help

If I can.

-Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get a professional’s

point of view.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am very proud

of Matthew for striking out on his own and starting his

own company, but with him being in London, half the year,

I can't help but feel,

-Abandoned.

-Exactly.

-I mean, it’s difficult when the dynamic in any relationship shifts.

Your husband taking on this new venture has become his

priority, whereas in the past, you were always his priority.

-Yes.

-You have to understand that he's entitled to put

himself first for once.

And forgive me for saying it, but maybe it's your turn to

prioritize his endeavors as well.

-Maybe it was unfair to

expect him to fly all the way back here for a weekend.

He is working so hard and I really am so proud of him.

- Then show him.

-How?

-You're saying that he's always shown up for

you in the past. Maybe it's your turn to show up for him.

-We should probably go and join the others.

-Yeah, we should.

-Huh.

-What's that?

-I could have sworn that pot was terracotta.

-Yeah, about that.

-Oh, well,

it looks stunning in blue.

Oh, Grant, you are a renaissance man. Is there anything

you can't do?

-Well, my croquet is pretty bad.

-And he's funny too.

-Nikki, you are one lucky woman. Sorry.

-Well, Nikki, I

think we have something to get to, don't we?

-Oh yes,

yes. And we will go and fetch the pilot come. Come, come,

come. For our badminton winners.

-This is it.

-Well, what are we waiting for?

-Can you believe this?

-This is insane.

[song playing]

Should I open it?

-Go ahead.

-I'm going to open it.

-Open it.

-I'm opening it. It's nice and chill.

-I've never had champagne.

-You're joking.

-I've never once had ch-

-You never had champagne.

-I'm not fancy.

-Well, I feel like you should pop it then

if you've never had it.

-Why don't you teach me?

-Do you know how?

-No, show me.

-well, I'm not

Oh my gosh, that gave me a heart attack.

Oh my gosh.

Bubbly?

-Oh, please.

-Bubbly

So kind, so kind.

-So the music finally came to you, huh?

-The piano?

Yeah, I guess it did.

-What does it feel like playing for an audience?

-Well, it helped that

I didn't know, I had one.

-You are so talented.

Clearly everyone agrees.

-Thanks.

You know, I've actually been thinking

about our conversation yesterday, and I think you're right.

Life's too short not to do what you love.

-Does that mean

you're going to stop writing jingles?

-Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

No I can't quit just yet, but I am going

to devote more time to my songwriting.

Maybe try out some open mics.

-Well, know that you'll have at least one fan

in the audience.

-That's good to know.

You know, I got to say,

you've kind of inspired me.

I mean, you found something

that you love that you clearly have a talent for, and

you've made a career out of it, a very successful one at that.

-Do I detect a touch of sincerity in your voice?

- Don’t let it get around because it'll ruin my reputation.

- Well, I have to admit, I didn't always set out to do this.

I was just that friend you'd always go

to whenever you needed advice.

because what I really wanted to be was a writer.

So when I got my first job working at a newspaper

and they asked me what my strengths were,

it's just the first thing that came to mind.

-So, if you want him to be a writer,

how did you get into podcasting?

-Hmm, that's a funny story.

So my now producer, Mike, he had written in asking

for advice on how to propose to his now wife, Angela.

He’s kind of a hopeless when it comes to romance.

And so when she said yes, he was just so

happy he just offered me podcast.

-Fate works in mysterious ways.

-It does, doesn't it?

Anyway, podcasting has been such a dream.

it's way more personal,

and I get to build a dialogue with my listeners and hear

the emotions behind their questions.

-It's got to be tough,

though, isn't it? I mean, helping people through their

problems all day long.

-No, no. I actually really like it.

Helping people it just feels good.

A lot of my listeners call

in when they're at their most vulnerable,

and they put their trust in me.

and the least I can can do is give it my all

- Nikki, what's the holdup?

-I'm coming.

I can't get this clasp done up.

- What?

-Nothing. You just, you look really nice.

-Thank you.

Do you mind?

-Oh Yeah.

-Thank you.

-My pleasure.

I think it's safe to say you pulled it off.

-Well, it's not over yet.

-After seeing you together this weekend,

no one in this house would believe you're not a real couple.

-Yeah, put on a pretty good show, didn't we?

-I'm not convinced it was all a show.

-What are you getting at there Poirot?

-Don't make me spell out what you already know.

-Okay. Okay,

you got me again.

But I mean, how do I know it's real for her too?

-By using your eyes? Trust me. She feels the same way.

-No, see you don't get it. This perfect man she created,

he is the antithesis of what I am. He's polished him to

Harvard. He wears cardigans. What if she's just developed

feelings for the man that I'm pretending to be?

The first step in solving any mystery

is to go to the source.

-What?

-Talk to her.

-Fine. You win.

-I know.

-Your a man mystery.

Nikki, come. Sit with me.

-You wanted to see me?

-Yes.

So how do you think this

weekend went?

Do you see yourself as a good fit for

Weisel Publishing?

-Well, I think this weekend went really well.

As for whether or not I'm a good fit, wouldn't that be

your decision to make?

-I think it's a two-way street.

Well, then,

yes.

yes, I think I'm a great fit.

-Mmm

So, do I.

You do? Does that mean I’ve got the book deal?

-Welcome to Weisel Publishing, dear.

-Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh my gosh.

I'm so excited.

-Well, I'm excited to have you on board.

Oh, and that reminds me, I am having a charity event on

my yacht next month and I would like you to be there.

I have some people I want you to meet.

-Yes, I would love to.

-Oh, and you'll have to bring Grant, of course. It wouldn't

be the same without him.

-Of course. We'll both be there.

Splendid.

-Hi.

-Nikki, hey.

There you are. Look, I've something

to tell you.

-Me too.

-Say hello to Weisel publishing's newest author.

-You got it.

- I got it.

-Oh my God. That's amazing.

It's all thanks to you.

-Oh, no. I can't take any

credit. Maybe a little. This is amazing. Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Oh and next month he's planning this huge event and

he wants us both to be there.

Yeah, that's going to be this huge networking opportunity.

- Right.

But you mean, he wants you and Grant

to be there, right?

-Yeah. I mean, if that's okay.

Well, I don't know, Nikki. I didn't really sign up to play

your fake boyfriend forever.

- No, it wouldn't be forever.

It would just be for this one event.

-And then what?

-I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead.

- Well maybe you should. I mean, maybe it's time you start

thinking about something other than yourself.

-Whoa!

I thought this weekend went so well.

I thought we were having a good time.

- We were, we were, we were, okay? But that's just,

maybe that's part of the problem. See, I don't want to be

your fake boyfriend anymore.

-What are you saying?

-I'm saying

that I have feelings for you.

And I think you share those feelings, too.

But, what I don't know,

is if those feelings are for me, or for Grant Brickstone.

-Brickton.

-Whatever.

Nikki, come on.

-Okay. This is a lot to take in right now.

Obviously, I am having feelings for you, but I just, I

never imagined when I invited you that there would be

this remote chance that this

could turn into something real.

-Of course. Neither did I, but

I mean, is it?

Is it real?

-I don't know.

But the only way this works is if you stay Grant.

If we tell the truth, then I lose everything.

-Well, I can't ask you to do that.

- Luke?

-I'm just, I'm going to go.

It's okay

I'm going to go.

-Well, what am I going to tell everyone?

-I don't know.

You're the writer. You'll think of something.

- Good morning, Nikki.

-Good morning everyone.

-Where's Grant?

-Oh, he had to leave late last night.

-Really?

What pulled him away?

-A work emergency. It's confidential.

- Interesting.

-You know, I just saw Archie in the gardens looking for you.

-Oh.

-He said you and him needed to have a little chat.

-Well um. Excuse me, then.

Hi Archie!

-I found this note under my door this morning.

It's from Grant.

Or should I say, Luke?

- Archie, I can explain. - There’s no need.

Mr. Right explained everything in the note.

I have to say, Nikki, I'm extremely disappointed.

I thought we'd built a trust here.

-I'm not going to deny any of this.

I respect you too much to lie to you anymore.

I understand that we cannot work together anymore.

And I am very sorry

for wasting your time.

I'll show myself out.

- How did I not see it? Am I really that blind?

- Don’t be so hard on yourself. They were very convincing.

- I just feel so foolish.

- I've invested so much time in a relationship

that turns out to be a sham.

-I won't say that the entire relationship is a sham.

-What do you mean?

Well, sure it started off as a scheme to secure her book deal,

but in the end, don't you think they're both walking away with

something far more valuable?

-Love.

But if he loved her,

how could he betray her like this?

-I'm not sure that he did.

-So

Archie knows everything?

-Yep.

-And I'm assuming everyone

else at the estate knows, as well?

-I think it's safe to assume, yes.

-Well, this isn't great.

-I know. I'm sorry. It started really well,

and then I just ruined everything.

Not only did I lose the book deal, but now I’m at risk of

being exposed as a fraud.

Why don't we come clean on the podcast?

you can expose yourself.

-I can't do that.

-Why not?

-Oh, I don't know.

Maybe because I'm going to lose the

trust of all my listeners. The network will pull the podcast

and then both of our lives will completely fall apart.

-Listen, Nikki, as your producer, yeah, it's a bit of a

risk. But as your friend, I mean, come on, I think it's time

we lose this whole Mr. Right thing.

For years, you've sacrificed

your love life for this facade.

Sometimes, I don't know

if you're doing it for the podcast, or if you do it because

you're scared.

-I'm not scared. I just know what I want,

and I don't think it's out there.

- Do you know what you want?

What about Luke?

-My point, exactly. I think that

I finally found something real. And then the moment things get

hard, he just lets me down. I mean, people come to me because

I have figured out the secret to a perfect relationship. How

can I have a perfect relationship if the perfect man doesn't exist?

-No, you're wrong about that. People come to you for

your heartfelt advice on their complicated, messy, real

relationships.

Something you should probably have too.

- Archie. Hi.

-Hello, Nikki. Mike, what a pleasure to see you.

May I?

-Please come in.

- I'll cut straight to the chase.

Upon further reflection, I would like to reinstate your book deal.

-You would? -Yes.

You have the power to help people, Nikki. I've seen it firsthand.

After our talk, I've decided to join my husband

in London. You were right. Relationships are about give

and take, and it’s about time that I started giving back for once.

-Well, that's wonderful, Archie, but I lied to you.

-Mr. Right may have been a fiction, but over this past

weekend, I think I've seen your real story unfold before

my very eyes.

-Oh, no. Luke and I are

-Nikki, you may be

the relationship expert, but I've got a few years on you

and I know a real thing when I see it.

-Luke doesn't want to have anything to do with me.

I mean, he basically tried to ruin my career, so.

-Oh, Luke didn't write that letter.

Chandler did.

Oh, sorry. I, I probably should have led with that.

Oh, I've got to go. I've got to catch a flight. Nikki.

-Archie,

thank you.

-No, thank you.

And may I be so bold as to offer

you a little relationship advice.

Go get him.

What? Oh my gosh!

What are you waiting for? Go. Go, get him.

Oh my Gosh

Hi.

-Hi. I'm looking for Luke.

-Oh, I'm sorry he's not here right now

Sorry, I am Nancy. I'm the realtor. Are you here

for the showing?

The showing?

-Of the apartment?

-He's moving?

-Yes. So no showing then?

-No. I'm sorry to bother you.

-Okay.

He's gone. I have no idea where he is. I have no idea how

to get ahold of him.

What do I do? You can chime in here

anytime you want, Mike.

-I think I have an idea.

-Thanks for

tuning in to this week's episode of Love Is On The Air. I'm

Nikki P, and I'm here to answer all your burning love questions.

This week's episode is going to be a bit different because

the love problem we are going to be solving is mine. And

before I dive in, I just wanted to say how grateful I am

that you've trusted me to guide you through the ebbs and

flows of your relationships. And I want to reassure you

that all of my advice came from the heart.

But I'm afraid,

I haven't been completely honest with you about my own

relationship or lack thereof. And the reason why I am coming

clean today is because I feel like I have found my real

Mr. Right. He's nothing like what I've described over the

years. He wears graphic tees and mismatched socks. And

he's not a human rights lawyer with a penthouse or a fancy

car. He's an artist. He challenges me. He makes me laugh.

He's nothing like what I've imagined. He's so much better

than all of that. Anyway, I understand if I have lost some

of your trust. I deserve that. My love story isn't perfect.

And neither am I. But I hope over time, I can still prove

to you that I am worthy. And maybe like an all relationships,

hopefully we can use this experience to help us grow.

Well, it's official.

Yesterday's episode was our highest rated yet.

-And it's been 24 hours, and still nothing.

-Maybe you just didn't see it.

Or maybe he did, and he still wants

to have nothing to do with me.

-Don't, don't do that. Don't Lose hope just yet.

-Oh, Mike. -I'm working on showing more Empathy. Right, I'll see you later.

-Luke.

-Hey

-Wait, how did you get into my apartment?

-Oh, I may have gotten a little help from Mike.

-Little.

So you listened to the podcast?

-What podcast? Yeah, I listened to the podcast.

-So is this your way of saying that you forgive me?

-No, this is my way of saying that I love you.
