Hey, Jared! Clients are here.
I'm your pilot, Jared Troy.
Can't wait to get you up there today.
There's absolutely nothing like it in the whole world.
Being up in the sky, floating across the air.
It's absolute freedom.
Yeah. Jared here has been lifting up balloons
and spirits for so long, it's second nature,
so you're in good hands.
Before we go, I'd like to recite the balloonist prayer,
so we'll bring it in.
"May the winds welcome you with softness,
may the sun bless you with its warm hands,
and may you land safely
back into the loving arms of Mother Earth."
Amen! Ready for liftoff?
- Can't wait! - Let's do it.
Let's go.
Isn't it beautiful? Floating in the wind.
It's so peaceful.
Take it in!
Wow.
And as captain of this ship
I declare you officially engaged.
Let's celebrate.
May you have a long and happy marriage. Cheers!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Thank you so much for one of the best days of our lives!
It was our pleasure.
And if you know of anyone looking for
a romantic balloon ride, please do send them our way, okay?
Yeah.
Good luck!
Ah, that never gets old, does it?
Seeing that look of joy in their faces
when they go up for the first time?
And witnessing true love, huh?
Love?
That's like trying to control
a hot air balloon in a windstorm.
: Camera three positionin.
Camera two zoom in.
Camera one cross fade.
There you have it, folks.
Words cannot espresso how good the coffee is at Joe's Cafe.
Be sure to make it part of your daily grind.
You'll love it a latte!
You don't think it was too much on the coffee puns?
No, it is cool beans!
Yeah, it played well and the audience loved it.
I don't know, I just feel I had to do something
to jazz up the business news.
Are you not liking doing business anymore?
No, it's not that, I just...
I want to know what people are passionate about.
Mary always seems to cut that out.
Yeah.
Speaking of.
This can't be good.
Have a seat.
I saw your segment on the coffee shop.
I know you think you're being cute with your puns,
but you're a business reporter.
Right. But business doesn't have to be boring, does it?
If you want to be non-boring,
be a lifestyle or entertainment reporter.
Until then, stick to the facts.
Right, the facts, I know. But--
This is your second warning. Three strikes and you're out.
Okay.
- How'd it go? - Ahh...
apparently business reporters can't have a personality.
Have you heard about the lifestyle reporter job
in Albuquerque?
It's probably just a rumour. Why do you ask?
I think you should look into it.
You know, New Mexico has been on my radar
as a really nice place to live.
Did you know the sun shines
over 300 days out of the year there?
- I did not. - I know, that's crazy.
You know, it's too bad you're not covering
the International Balloon Fiesta this year,
because I have always wanted to go.
I know.
You know what? Can you email me that job posting?
Yeah.
Mom. Hey, Mom.
Sweetie, you're not home yet?
No, I just dropped off a balloon.
I'll be home soon, wait, what are you doing home?
Tonight's your date night.
We haven't been doing
our regular date nights for a while.
Is that one of Dad's famous biscochitos?
Wait, I can't see you very good. Oh, there we go.
Oh no, this is store-bought.
- What, store-bought?
Dad loves to bake, I thought once he retired,
he's be making more, not less.
- Hey, Son. - Hey, Dad.
Is everything alright with Dad?
Your father has been in a rut ever since he retired.
Well, then, why did he retire?
I thought it was because
he wanted to spend more time together, but all he does
is mope around here all day, like he's...
bored.
Hey, maybe...
he could fly with you more.
I mean, do you have enough business for that?
- Yeah, it's a little bit turbulent right now,
but if he wants to, of course, he can.
Clear skies, clear mind.
Well, you always get more bookings after the fiesta.
Yeah, and if that doesn't work out, I can always go back
to flying balloons for advertising.
That's not your passion.
Passion doesn't pay bills.
But you know what? Don't worry, Mom.
I'll find a way to keep this business afloat.
I know you will, Son.
- I love you. - Love you too.
Did you hear?
What?
Oh, hold on one second, I think this is Hank
about dinner tonight.
Everything okay?
Yeah.
Bad news?
Um, oh.
It's Mary, she wants to see me.
Good luck.
Yup.
Dwight had an emergency.
Oh. Is he okay?
It's his grandmother in Ohio, she had a fall.
- Oh! - She's okay, but it turns out
she can no longer live alone,
so Dwight is going to Ohio to help her move.
He goes out today,
so you are going to Albuquerque, New Mexico,
to cover the balloon fiesta.
Wow!
Thank you so much, I mean, you know
how much I want to prove myself as a lifestyle reporter,
and, right now is actually a good time for me to get away.
Look, I know it's not your usual,
but it saves me the trouble
of finding a last-minute replacement.
But you'll be gone for five days.
Okay, great. Thank you. I'll have Elise come with me.
Uh, there's plenty for her to do here.
But she's my right hand, we're a team,
and you do want good footage to go with the story, don't you?
Fine! You guys can stay with Dwight's parents in Albuquerque.
No, no, that's okay. We can get a hotel room.
Are you kidding?
It's the International Balloon Fiesta.
Hotel rooms are booked years in advance.
Hmm.
I'll find you guys a place to stay.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Mm-hmm. And just so we're clear,
you still have to stay within the parameters
of what the station wants.
We don't report daily, we just need a sensational,
entertaining five to seven minute segment
that will air at the end of the fiesta.
Any ideas you have, you can pitch them to me
when you're there. But I have the final say.
Is that clear?
Got it.
Thank you.
So...
we are headed to New Mexico!
What? And you got Mary to let me come with you?
Of course! We're a team.
And I need to nail this story, and you are my secret weapon.
And, you know, Mary gave me an ultimatum.
I already have two strikes against me.
- One more and-- - That's ridiculous.
You're a great reporter.
On top of that.
Um, Hank broke up with me via text.
Oh, that's the text you got when we were--
- Mm-hmm, yeah. - Coward.
And I really hope you don't let this one jerk
turn you off from love.
You know me, I'm such a hopeless romantic.
And, to be honest with you, we weren't dating that long.
I know that special someone for me is out there somewhere.
I just have to find him, right?
: So, our reporter and camera op will film you
and you get publicity for your business.
Publicity for my business.
Heck yeah, I could use it. I mean, that'd be great.
: Okay. Oh, and can they stay with you?
Sure, yeah. I can host them while they're here.
I have one condition.
Okay, what?
Ballooning, my business, it's all fair game,
but my personal life, it's off limits. Clear?
Of course, I'll let the reporter know.
I'll email you the details.
Yep.
You know what, I never even asked you.
Do you want to find love?
Oh, I mean I'm not really looking for it, but,
I suppose if it fell in my lap.
If only it were that easy!
- Guess who? - Oh.
Hey, Mary. Yeah, we're at the airport.
Oh great.
I found a hot air balloon pilot
for you to stay with.
He has his own company
and he's been flying for 30 years.
Okay, if you don't mind texting me the details.
Just so you know, he was very adamant
about not covering his personal life.
Okay, I will take note of that.
Which makes me think he's hiding something.
And when someone's hiding something,
There's always a story there.
I'll leave it up to you to find it.
Oh, I will. I will make you proud.
I'm counting on it.
Thank you.
So a hot air balloon pilot, huh?
Well, you heard Mary.
He's a sweet older man,
who has been a pilot for over 30 years,
and apparently has secrets.
Bye, dear. Heading out ow.
Honey, you just did this last week.
I know, but you know I like to stay busy,
and I'm running out of things to do.
There's plenty to do besides cleaning.
You're right, The Price Is Right is on.
I'll do this later.
Where's my goodbye kiss?
: Welcome to Albuquerque International Airport.
So, how did you know that I'm afraid of flying?
Oh, you white knuckling on the plane was a giveaway.
Well, you might be surprised to know that I'm afraid
of a lot of things.
Spiders, snakes, bats, ugh!
Don't get me started on their beady little eyes.
I am afraid of a lot of things,
and I'm deathly afraid of heights.
But we're going to the Balloon Fiesta.
I know. And I cannot get in that hot air balloon.
Okay. Um, I'll think of something to cover for us.
Well, I was thinking that
you could go in the hot air balloon.
I mean, that is on your bucket list of things to do, right?
Yeah, so I want you to enjoy the fiesta.
I'll come up with something for myself, don't worry about me.
Hey, Uber's here.
- Oh, actually, it's about to go! - No, wait!
Hello?
You think he might be hard of hearing?
30 years in the business, he must be retired.
Are you sure this is the right place?
- Yeah, um... - The pilot's house?
Yeah, I mean...
I can't believe it, you know.
I forgot my sunglasses, I never need them in Seattle.
Oh! You're the best.
- Thank you. - I know, you're welcome!
Hi. Yes, do you have any hotel rooms?
Oh, you don't need to laugh.
I guess Mary was right about all the rooms
being booked up around here.
- Now, what do you want to do? - Uhh. Oh, he's here!
Thank goodness!
Who is that?
I don't know, but that can't be the pilot.
- Oh, hi! - Hi.
We're here waiting to meet Jared Troy?
You're looking at him.
Oh, hi! I'm, I'm Brooklyn, the reporter from--
New York. No?
Yeah, I get that a lot.
Um, my mom loved the name Brooke and Lynn,
so she just combined the two.
Yeah, I see that. That makes sense.
Oh, um, this is Elise, our videographer.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Some uh, nice shades!
Oh, thanks!
Well, I'm sorry I'm late,
I had a few things I had to take care of.
Oh, that's okay! We were not waiting long.
Eh?
Oh, well--
Good, now let me help you with your bags.
Thank you, I'll get this.
The uh, hot air balloon pilot is kind of hot, don't you think?
Shh, quiet!
This is definitely going to be an adventure.
Wow, really nice home.
Thanks. There's two guest rooms.
One down the hall, and the other,
just around the corner.
You ladies hungry?
Oh, I'm not, but I bet Brooklyn is.
Yeah, you two go ahead. I have to uh, clean my camera.
Alright, have fun with that, it's right this way.
You know, thank you so much
for hosting us at the last minute.
Oh yeah, of course.
Like I said, we've got plenty of room.
You do, um, do you live here alone?
Yeah, just me. All by myself.
Wait, do you think this place is too big for one person?
Er, no, no, no, I didn't, I didn't mean it like that,
it's that, it's a big home, you know?
I was just messing with you.
I'm so sorry, we don't have very much food.
To be honest with you, my fridge looks exactly like that.
Yeah, I don't cook.
I love to cook, I just don't do it that often
for one person, you know.
You make me a list, and I'll pick up whatever you need.
- Thank you. - Want some green chili?
No, thank you.
I'm not a fan of spicy food,
I have a little bit of a sensitive stomach.
Let me take your coat.
Yeah, thanks.
So, um, what time do you want us up in the morning?
- It's early. - Yeah, how early is early?
We have to be out the door by three.
What? Three AM?
I mean, I'm, I'm just going to bed by that time.
I mean, because I, I work so much,
not because I'm out, like, clubbing or anything.
Right, right, right. I mean I work all the time too,
but when you love what you do,
it doesn't really feel like work, does it?
- Ehh. - Right.
- Right. - Right.
Well, I'd better get unpacked and go to bed.
Need my beauty sleep.
No you don't.
Hm?
No, I mean, do you really need to go to bed this early?
- It's like. - Yeah.
Yeah, okay. Good night.
Good night. Thank you again. Thank you.
Just down the road, and, down the road, take a right.
Thank you.
Alright.
Just down the road. That was smooth.
Elise? Hello? Hey.
- Oh, god! - Oh, I'm so sorry!
So sorry.
Okay, so we gotta be up before three AM tomorrow.
- Oh. - Yeah.
By the way,
I did not see a ring on his finger!
Oh my goodness!
It doesn't mean that he's single.
Although he did say that he lives here alone.
But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a girlfriend,
or even a fiancรฉe.
Okay well, if he's single, I think you should go for it.
What?
I have a good feeling about you two.
I think love is in the air!
Alright, okay.
Are you going to try to get an interview
for the lifestyle job?
I could look into that
but I know they're going to want a demo reel.
Well, you have a ton of footage,
so I can go ahead and put something together.
But for now, we gotta go to bed.
So, goodnight, and I will see you tomorrow.
You mean tonight? Nyah!
You reading a book about World War II?
Yeah, I thought it would make me tired.
Mmm. You having trouble sleeping?
Yeah, it's like I'm more tired now
than when I was working full time.
You feeling okay?
Maybe we should get you to a doctor.
No. I'm fine.
I don't need a doctor.
Goodnight, honey.
Wow. He's broken all sorts of records in ballooning.
Who in the world becomes a professional balloonist?
I mean, it seems more like a hobby.
Can you really make a living flying hot air balloons?
Huh.
Words cannot espresso how good the coffee is at Joe's Cafe.
Be sure to make it part of your daily grind.
You'll love it a latte!
Hi, good morning. Have you tried this? It's fire.
Probably literally.
No, that looks way too spicy for me.
Wait, hold on, are you two seriously
both eating green chili for breakfast?
Yes, it's the breakfast of champions.
What is that amazing smell?
That is piรฑon coffee.
- Ohh! - Yeah.
It's made from the nut of our state tree,
they make firewood with it and coffee.
- Give that a smell. - Wow!
- It's really good. - Oh!
- You want some? - It's incredible. Yes, please.
I need to bring some of this home with me.
Unless you move here.
Then, you know, you can have it all the time.
- Move here? - Yeah.
Brooklyn's gonna be applying for a lifestyle reporter job here.
Okay well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
I Googled you and checked out one of your segments.
Was it, how'd it go, "You'll like it a latte?"
That was cute, I liked it.
Thanks. Well, I Googled you, too.
- Oh boy. - Uh, no, no, no.
I saw that you are quite a hotshot in the ballooning world.
Yeah, certainly not in it for the fame and fortune.
You know, maybe you can take Brooklyn on a tour,
since she might be moving here.
Elise, he's a pilot, not a tour guide!
Yeah, I'm not sure we're going to have much time
for sightseeing, but um.
Well, let's get flying. I gotta go warm up the truck.
Flying? Wait, flying? What are you doing?
I'm matchmaking!
Well, could you be a little less obvious, please?
No, I cannot!
Brrr! It's dark and it's cold.
Do you always get up this early?
Yeah, it helps beat traffic.
Plus, I'm a part of the Dawn Patrol,
which is a special group of balloons that go up
before sunrise on the days of the mass ascension.
Oh yeah, I read about mass ascension.
That's when all 500 balloons
go up at the same time.
- That sounds scary! - It's exhilarating.
Well, there's a fine line between fear and exhilaration.
It's the biggest fiesta in the world with, like you said,
500 balloons, and over a million visitors.
Does it ever get old for you?
Never. There's nothing like it,
the special shapes, the crowds, the camaraderie with the pilots,
the look on people's faces,
how they just light up when they first see a balloon.
- Wow. - It's the best.
When did you start your business?
Just after high school, with my parents' help.
My dad owns a taekwondo studio, he's a black belt.
Remind me not to get on his bad side!
But I did read on the website
that your dad is a pilot, and your mom is, too.
Yeah, both of them. Granddad too, this is actually,
this is actually... this is actually his jacket.
So, why did you decide to focus
on romantic balloon rides for couples?
It helps me distinguish a bit
from the other air balloon companies.
Okay, so it's basically just like a branding concept.
Because everyone loves love, right?
Mmm.
- Do you? - What?
Love love?
It's... it's a marketing angle.
: Welcome to the Fiesta.
Alright.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Buenos dรญas! What a great morning for an adventure, huh?
Yeah. Elise, Brooklyn, this is my cousin Carlos.
This is Brooklyn, Elise, they're from Seattle.
Uh... hi.
Great.
So they're here doing a story on the fiesta.
Great. You're from Seattle?
I love it up there,
the vibe, the music scene, even the rain.
You know, Elise, she loves music,
she's always listening to something.
Really? What kind of music do you listen to?
Mainly alternative.
Oh, me too. I just saw The Muddy Boots in concert.
You saw The Muddy Boots in concert? No way!
I love them. Oh, I'm so jealous.
So, you're the cinematographer?
Just the camera tech but
I've always wanted to be a cinematographer
for a sci-fi film.
Well, there's a great film industry
here in New Mexico.
I've always wanted to be involved
with the movies as well.
Maybe I could be an extra or something.
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
You have great teeth, so that would...
Maybe you two should go hang out.
Maybe we should go set up. Let's go, pal.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Playing matchmaker. Nice teeth!
I know!
Amber.
Jared.
Turner?
Come on.
What was that about?
Huh.
Hey, you're the guy that offers
romantic balloon rides, right?
That's right, Jared.
Oh thanks. I'm so glad I found you.
I'm proposing to my girlfriend.
Next month.
We've only been together for two months,
but when you know, you know.
Two months. Wow. Congrats!
- Thanks! - Yup. Good luck!
Two months, he's already proposing.
Well, you heard the guy. "When you know, you know."
Yeah. Doubt they even make it to the proposal.
Wow.
For a pilot that offers romantic balloon rides,
he sure seems down on love.
Huh.
- Morning. - Uh, Mom!
Brooklyn, Elise, this is my mom and dad.
This is Jane and Brad,
the aircraft radio's missing in this.
So great to meet you both, although I was told
to stay away from you, hi-yah!
uh, yeah. I heard you used to own a taekwondo studio,
and maybe you could teach me some real moves?
Oh, but I'm retired now.
Oh, honey. Just because you're retired,
doesn't mean you can't show her some moves.
I thought we put this all behind us.
So Brooklyn, she's uh, the reporter.
So, but she leaves in Seattle,
and they are both staying in the house
while they cover the fiesta.
- Nice to meet you. - Oh, so nice to meet you.
I hope my son is being a good host.
- Yes, he is. - Great.
I tried to raise him to be a gentleman.
Well, you did a great job.
Now I did hear that you used to be a pilot,
maybe I could ask you some questions?
Sure. But you might want to interview Brad,
he's the one with the stories.
Oh I, I don't know.
He's being modest.
He has talked at balloon seminars all over the world.
Hey, why don't we all go to dinner one night at El Pinto?
Oh, that is the best place.
We always take all of our out of town visitors there.
And then afterwards, we go back to our place for dessert.
Brad is an amazing baker.
I suppose I could bake something.
Maybe you could make your famous biscochitos.
My phone. I'm so sorry, um.
It's my boss, it's Mary, excuse me one second.
I'm gonna go set up. It was nice meeting you both.
She seems nice.
And I didn't see a ring on that finger.
- Mom! - What?
She's a reporter who lives in Seattle.
We're just hanging out because I need the publicity.
I can feel it.
Love is in the air.
So, Mary, you're up really early.
I never left.
I'm calling to see
if you found out what the pilot is hiding.
My intuition tells me there's a story there.
Uh, no. I'm, I'm really sorry.
You know, Elise and I were joking
that for a pilot that offers romantic balloon rides,
he's really jaded about love.
Jaded. Jared. That's it, that's your story.
No. no, no, no, Mary.
I was just making small talk with you, that's all.
I can see it now.
"Pilot offering romantic balloon rides,
but is himself closed off to love."
People will love it, the irony.
A-Actually, I, I--
That's it, that's the story I want.
Remember, three strikes and--
I know, I know. I'm out, I remember.
: Welcome the Fiesta. It's windy out there folks,
we're hoping to see that green flag.
- Oh no. - What does that mean?
That means we got a yellow flag.
And we gotta wait to see if the wind dies down.
- Oh. - I'm sorry.
I know you were really excited to get up, get flying today.
Nope.
I mean, no I was, but you can't control the weather.
Yeah, one of the things you learn real early as a pilot
is to let go of expectations.
So many things are just out of our control.
Hey Jared, why don't you show Brooklyn around the fiesta?
Well, cause I gotta wait and see if we get a green flag.
Your father could go up.
Oh no, I'm just a participant this year, remember?
Oh I could go up, and maybe Elise could come with me?
I think until we get a green flag,
Elise and I should go grab some footage. Okay? Come on.
- Well, it'll die down. - I hope so.
Ready in, three, two, one.
Albuquerque has what's known as "the box."
It's a predictable set of wind patterns,
that allow the balloonist to navigate within a vertical box.
The surrounding mountains form the sides of the box,
and the flat desert terrain offers unlimited landing spots,
where the crew can meet up with them.
It's not a race, but a pleasure cruise.
For 50 years, the Balloon Fiesta
has attracted balloonists from all over the world
for one week of festivities.
The main event is the mass ascension,
where 500 balloonists take to the air
in groups every 20 minutes.
To find out how balloons operate,
I asked veteran pilot Jared Try to give me a look inside.
The fabric is a silk-like synthetic.
Very strong and light.
Hot air is lighter
than the surrounding high altitude atmosphere here,
so when the propane gas jets
have heated the air inside enough,
the balloon will rise.
To descend, the pilot has ropes
to open the flaps at the top and sides of the balloon.
When hot air escapes, the balloon descends.
A balloon can only go up or down,
the rest is up to the wind.
It's a simple process that has worked for centuries.
And cut!
Brooklynn that was great.
Now why don't you go entertain
your out of town friends?
Your father and I can finish up here.
What happened to just being a participant?
Are you gonna, come on, seriously?
Go!
I could've used some help here.
Our son is an adult, darling.
Even an adult needs a push now and then.
Well, that's it, we're done for the day.
If you ladies have anything you feel like doing?
Um, is there a night balloon glow?
Oh, you'd love that.
There's a drone show and fireworks, and that's when
they light up all the balloons at the same time.
Yeah, you had me at "drone show and fireworks."
You know what? Why don't the two of you
hang out and have some fun?
Okay, yeah. Cool.
- Up for it? - Yeah.
Ah, young love.
What? Come on, you can't tell me
you don't see the chemistry between those two.
I'm pretty oblivious to that kind of thing.
How can you be?
You're a pilot that offers romantic balloon rides,
that's your whole marketing schtick.
Yeah, it separates me from the competition.
You've never been in love, or engaged, or married?
Hah, have you?
Well, to be honest with you,
I'm not exactly winning it in the relationship department.
Why not?
Well, I'm a hopeless romantic.
It all starts off with fireworks and butterflies,
but then it just fizzles out.
See that's the problem,
you're focused on butterflies and fireworks.
I think that love is more grounded.
Sort of like my parents. They really set the bar high.
Although they're going through a bit of a rough spot right now.
But every relationship goes through rough spots.
- Do you know what? - What?
I want to show you the Balloon Museum.
It's not this way, it's that way.
- Cool, okay. - Let's go.
Some great exhibits in there.
And maybe even famous balloonists.
Hi, guys.
- Oh look, dogs! Aww! - Ah yeah.
This is Paws and Stripes,
they're uh, they save two lives at a time.
Really?
Yeah, they put together rescue dogs with vets.
That one's Moxie over there.
Hi, sweetheart! Let's go see Moxie.
- I want to say hi to Moxie. - Hi guys.
Hi Moxie! I love the kisses, thank you! Aww.
- They're so cute. - So precious.
- He likes you. - He does. I like Moxie.
Wow! Those pins are beautiful.
You should get one, people collect them.
- Yeah. I think I will. - Here, allow me.
- Thank you. - This is the one, huh?
- Yeah, I like that one. - Alright.
Ow!
What?
- Awww! - Kidding!
Come on.
- You... - I was messing with you.
There's one more thing.
Okay, does everything have green chilies on it here?
Everything that's good!
Very funny.
So, how old were you when you knew you wanted to be a pilot?
I must've been around eight years old.
Mmm. That actually makes sense,
because all the business people that I ever interviewed,
they all knew exactly what they wanted to be
at a very young age.
Yeah, my dad had this company.
Like, he would fly balloons
for this real estate company that he worked for.
Advertising as a side hustle.
And so that's the first time I realized that hey,
you could fly people around in balloons for money.
Hmm. Because of the advertising?
Yeah. So now, I have my own business
where I get to fly people around in balloons.
Mmm. You're so lucky to be doing what you love,
and make a living at it.
Do you know how few people can actually say that?
Yeah, I guess so. What about you?
- Hmm. - Do you love your job?
Do you love what you do?
Um, I used to.
I mean, business reporting, it's all facts, financials.
A little boring.
So I was thinking about making the leap to lifestyle reporting,
cause it's not so dry.
Okay, hold on, we're not, yeah I'm here to interview you.
- You're interviewing me? - I'm interviewing you, yes!
You know what you're doing.
Oh, okay, what do you want to know?
Okay, what I want to know is...
What do you love most about being a pilot?
Well, it never gets old.
You never land at the same place twice.
You never even have the same day twice.
Every day is like it's own
unique experience.
But you know, I think the best part
is seeing the joy in people's faces
when they first experience a balloon ride.
It's like seeing a kid light up on Christmas morning.
You guys ready for fireworks and drones?
Oh! Oh, we're not interrupting, are we?
Nope.
- Want some fries? - Yeah.
: Ah, the fireworks and drone show
is one of my favorites parts of the balloon fiesta.
Wow. Hey.
Jared's passion for hot air ballooning is so contagious
that it almost makes me want to get up in a hot air balloon.
You know, I said almost, okay? Relax!
What a beautiful way to end the evening.
- Oooh, I like that. Yes. - Yeah.
- It's perfect. - It's great.
By the way, you and Carlos seem to be getting along.
Yeah, we have the same tastes in podcasts and music.
I didn't know that you wanted
to be a cinematographer in movies.
Maybe you'll do well here in New Mexico.
Yeah. Well, you and Jared seem to be hitting it off,
and you might actually live here.
Well, I might need a new job if Mary fires me.
I just have to find an impactful angle to this story,
but not at the expense of Jared.
Nice, he's just such a nice guy,
doing what he loves and...
I just really admire that about him, you know?
Mm-hmm.
- I'll figure something out. - I know you will.
You always do.
Thanks.
You're welcome. Have a good night.
You too, goodnight!
Ah, another yellow flag.
Darn, I was hoping we'd go up today.
Well, I could take you to the balloon museum,
show you the history of ballooning.
You know, the first hydrogen balloon was a...
might be kind of boring.
No, it sounds uplifting!
Okay! This way.
Oh sweetie, why don't you show Brooklyn around town?
I hear she might be moving here.
You know I can't do that, Mom. What if we get a green flag?
Um, I suppose I could pilot this thing if we get a flag.
- Really? - Yeah.
Alright. You ready to see the best of Albuquerque?
Oh, are you offering to be my tour guide now?
Yeah, something like that. Thanks, Dad!
You got it.
I know what you're doing.
Can you blame a mother for wanting her only son--
Um, I think it's a little more than that.
: In New Mexico we fire roast our green chili,
buy it by the pound and eat it all year long.
Hey, let me get one of these.
Uh, yeah.
Thanks!
And a chilis. Yeah, 10 pound's good.
Here you go, give you some money.
Thanks.
This is beautiful.
So, do you ever get to follow up with any of the couples
that get proposed on your balloon?
Mmm, not really.
No? Darn, I was hoping to interview on of them.
I mean, most of them probably aren't even together anymore.
Statistically speaking.
Well, love isn't about statistics.
Let's have a seat. C'mon!
Alright.
So, what would you say
was the most romantic proposal
to ever have happened on your balloon?
Yeah, that's easy.
There was this guy who wanted us to write on a big banner
"Will You Marry Me?" and on the ground.
And the challenging part was that I had to coordinate
flying over that point at the exact moment
that they were holding up the banner.
Wow! That does sound romantic,
but wouldn't it have been better
if somebody was in the balloon next to you,
holding up the banner?
I mean, don't you think?
It was a successful proposal.
And hopefully, a successful marriage.
Yeah, I mean,
sometimes I think people spend so much time on the proposal,
and on the wedding,
and they don't spend any time
at trying to make the marriage actually work.
That's a good point.
You sound like you're speaking from experience.
No, I just uh, you know,
I just think that marriage is a lifelong commitment,
and it's not something you give up on at the first sign of--
- Agh. - You should prob-- Go ahead.
- No, no, no. It's okay. - No, go for it, seriously.
No, I'm sorry. Please, continue.
- It might be important. - No, continue. I'm so sorry.
You know what?
I have some place else I want to take you
that you are gonna love!
Okay!
Uh yeah. Okay, so how much longer
are we going to be in this thing?
C'mon, just try and relax.
Please don't move! Just don't sway this thing!
Okay, it's okay, it's okay. Look at me, look at me.
Just breath.
I had no idea you were afraid of heights.
Why didn't you say something?
Please don't move.
Just don't sway this thing, please.
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, look at me? Look at me?
Take a deep breath.
Let it go, that's right, you're slaying dragons here.
Take a deep breath, look at me.
That's right. That's it.
Rising above your fear.
Thanks you.
You did it!
Ah, I'm proud of you.
You know why they call this Sandia Mountain?
Nope.
Because sandia means watermelon in Spanish.
And at sunset, they get this incredible pink hue.
Whatcha looking at?
So do, do we need to take the tram to get back down?
Or are their options?
I suppose I could take the tram down,
grab my truck and come up the back side of the mountain.
But, then you would be up here alone for a while.
No thank you.
You'd do that for me?
Sure.
Thank you.
We got the green flag! Hop in. Hop in!
Should we find Jared?
- I got it. - Let them have their fun.
Hang on right here, okay?
Oh we made it! Oh, we made it!
- Come on, come on. - Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
Oh, thank you for talking me through that.
- Oh. Thank you. - You're welcome.
Sorry, I've gotta get this. Mary! Hey Mary, I'm actually--
I'm calling to see if you found out what the pilot--
- No, no. I, I-- - The clock is ticking.
And so far, I have seen nothing from you.
You have 24 hours to get me something.
- Hungry? - Oh yeah!
Really.
Life is like flying.
Sometimes you rise, sometimes you sink, but you always land.
- Cheers to that. - Cheers.
- Thought you could use a drink. - Oh! Mm-hmm.
Oh, you have no idea.
I mean, the tram just swayed
over every single post, oh!
You know, I am actually not a big fan of heights myself.
What? That doesn't make sense, you're a pilot.
Yeah, I know, but I'm not gonna stand on the edge
of a building and stare over the edge and look down.
I have a rational fear of falling,
but not an irrational fear of heights.
Yeah, unless the tram pummels to the ground,
or you fall out of the hot air balloon, mmm?
It's not gonna happen, statistically speaking.
You and your statistics!
You are much safer in a hot air balloon
than you are in a car. I mean,
especially around here.
Mmm.
Fear is in your head. Danger is real.
Right, but I do think that...
fear exists to protect us from getting hurt.
- Right. - I mean, you can't tell me
you don't agree with that, right?
I mean, aren't you afraid of anything?
- Of course! - Well, okay, what then?
- Hi! - Hi there!
- Good to see you. - What can I get for you?
- Oh. Please. - I'll have the enchilada plate.
Ooh, me too.
Great. And uh, red, green or Christmas?
Christmas?
Christmas, red and green chilies together, you know what?
I think she should probably have hers on the side,
and I will have the regular on top.
- Great. Sounds good. - Thank you.
Speaking of Christmas,
you should see the luminarias around here.
Mmm, I would love to see them.
New Mexico seems like such a nice place to live.
It is.
But Seattle's your home, right?
Yeah.
I think home is wherever your joy is.
Ohh! So good.
Oooh! That's spicy!
That's what the sopapillas are for.
Okay, thank you.
Oh no, no, that's not how! That's not how you do it.
- No, no, no. - What, what, what?
Put that down. You cut, you pull the corner.
Yes. Here, I'll do it for you.
You fill it with honey, I mean some people fill,
but there you go. Try that.
- Mmm, mmm. That's good. - Better?
Oh here, you have a little something right on the.
You've seen the mountain,
eaten the best meal. One more stop.
Oh, this is so cute! I love him!
Wow.
This reminds me
of the blue sky here.
This is beautiful.
It is.
Hmm.
Hm!
Hi! We got the green flag and I got to up in a balloon!
- What? You did? That's amazing! - Why didn't you call me?
Dad took her up.
Because we wanted you to have fun. Did you?
Well, other than fearing for my life
and burning my mouth on chili, yes, I had a great time.
- I want to hear all about it. - Yes, and me too!
And we can plan our trip to El Pinto.
- Perfect! - Yes. I'll catch up with you.
Okay.n.
It felt so great to be up there in the air.
Clear skies, clear mind.
It felt good seeing you up there.
- It's been a while. - It's where you belong, Dad.
Yeah.
: As darkness fall it's a longstanding tradition
here at Fiesta for all the pilots
to light their burners. We call it the balloon glow.
Wow!
This is so amazing!
Oh look at the heart, oh!
You warm enough?
All of these amazing balloons!
We'll get you some hot chocolate or something.
So many different shapes and colours.
I love it!
I feel like we're floating here on the ground.
Well, I can really see why you bring visitors here,
I love the ambiance.
We used to come here on our date nights.
I know. It's been a while.
I know it has, and I'm sorry.
We have to reinstate that tradition.
The food looks amazing.
My family personally likes to make the chile rellenos
with the hatch chilies from New Mexico,
and when they're homemade, they're exquisite, like fire.
Yeah. I mean, not literally.
Don't worry, I ordered you the mild chili, you're fine.
Well, thank you.
Save room for dessert because Brad made biscochitos.
- Mmm! - You did? Ahh, finally.
And we can have them back at the house with coffee.
Ah, yes!
Okay, so, what would you say
is the secret to a successful marriage?
Uh, happy wife, happy life.
I mean, right?
I think that's partially true.
And I'm committed to making this lady very happy.
I also retired recently
so we could spend more time together.
He spent countless hours at the studio,
and weekends in the air,
and he's never home.
And now, I'm home a lot.
And I think maybe I, you know, lost a little bit of my purpose.
I just, I didn't want that to affect our marriage.
- I just want you to be happy. - And I want you to be happy.
Maybe that should be the new phrase,
"A happy person, happy marriage."
Yeah, rolls off the tongue.
You have to be happy and fulfilled in yourself
before you can be happy in a relationship.
That's true.
Son, I was thinking of maybe
piloting some balloon rides
a couple of days a week if, you know, you'll let me.
I don't know!
Of course, I would love it.
It'd be so good to have you back up with me.
Oh, um. And gratitude, right?
Another ingredient.
We have to be thankful for what we have.
And I am thankful for the most beautiful,
intelligent, giving, loving wife.
And I'm going to do everything I can to make you happy, darling.
I can't believe we only have two days left.
I don't want it to end.
Yeah, me neither. You know, I was thinking.
I can check on flights to Seattle,
would that be alright with you?
Yeah, I'd like that.
: Okay, everyone,
biscochitos will be ready in a few minutes!
Do you mind if I ask you some questions
about being a female balloon pilot?
Not at all,
although I don't know how good of a story that would be now.
When I started piloting,
there weren't many females, but that's changed.
Oh, I see. Hmm.
So um, you're from Seattle?
Not originally, but I've lived there the last five years.
You like it?
It's cloudy.
The weather here is perfect.
New Mexico has got its perks,
including a handsome,
nice, pilot
who is quite fond of you.
Well.
A mother always can tell.
Was Jared hurt in his past?
Because he never talks about his past relationships.
You'll have to ask him that.
Fair enough. Back to you.
How did you know Brad was the one?
He pushed me out of my comfort zone,
and also supported me.
He made me feel safe.
Mmm.
When I met Brad, I was studying accounting.
Not my passion, that's what my parents wanted.
I always loved children and I wanted to work with them,
and Brad's the one that told me to follow my heart,
and do what I was passionate about,
so I became a teacher.
Thank you so much for having me over
and just making me feel so at home.
Mi casa es su casa.
You remind me so much of my mom.
Aww, and you're like the daughter I never had.
Thank you.
Come on, Elise.
Brooklynn told me y'all like a lesson.
So, feet are about shoulder width apart,
and your hands are in front of you just like that.
That's the ready stance, or junbi, okay?
So from here, first move, left foot steps out,
with a high block.
Like this. Good.
Good, perfect.
This is over your eyes a little bit more.
Basically, this is to prevent somebody
from hitting you with a baseball bat.
So right here, like this. That's perfect like that.
Okay, number two. From this position,
it's just a reverse punch.
This arm goes down, and this hand,
the right hand comes straight out, about face level.
Ready? One, two. Good.
Okay, try it again. Ready, one!
Two! Good. Junbi.
Now sometimes when we feel weak,
you do that move.
You feel more powerful.
And, you know, when we're feeling more confident,
sometimes we can trick our mind into the same thing.
- Okay, shall we try it again? - Yeah!
Junbi. Very good.
That was so much fun.
You know, your family is just amazing.
I, I loved your dad's story
about personal fulfilment, I mean it just inspired me.
Yeah. Oh, my dad.
Say, listen. Do you remember, you asked me,
you asked me if I was afraid of anything.
Yeah.
Well, it turns out,
I am.
What?
I'm afraid of um--
You can answer that if you want.
No, it's okay. It's my boss,
I don't have any updates for her.
Man, she really checks in on you a lot!
She does, it drives me crazy.
You know, I'm so sorry. Please continue.
Do you remember Amber and Turner
from the first day of the fiesta?
They walked right by me without saying hello.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, so Turner's my best friend.
We started a business together,
we took people up for balloon rides.
And Amber, well she was my girlfriend.
Huh.
I even proposed to her in a hot air balloon.
What? Look at you, you are a romantic.
And then out of the blue, one day,
she just leaves me for Turner.
Oh my goodness.
She told me she was not in love with me anymore.
What?
But she was definitely in love with Turner.
So you lost your best friend
and your fiancรฉ?
And my business, all at once.
I felt so betrayed and like,
blindsided all at once, and I think I shut down.
I'm so sorry.
But that was so long ago.
I mean, haven't you had a serious relationship since then?
- Look, it's okay. - Yeah.
You don't have to talk about it, I completely get it.
It's kind of funny,
because here I'm not afraid to open up my heart,
but I'm afraid of literally everything else!
You know, flying, heights.
Uh...
I'm afraid of taking risks.
When you go up in a hot air balloon,
you don't know if you're going to land safely or not.
What I am afraid of is being on my deathbed
and having regrets.
But won't you regret
not opening yourself up to love again?
Oh, I don't know what to do.
Mary is demanding that I show her something,
and I haven't because I don't have anything,
because I don't want to tell the story she wants me to tell.
Elise, I'm starting to develop feelings for Jared.
And I can't explain it, but when I'm with him,
I just feel so safe inside.
And his passion, it just makes me want to follow my passion.
Oh, and I love his mom and dad,
they feel like the family I never had.
Maybe you should tell him how you feel.
Unh. You don't think it's too soon?
No, maybe things are meant to be simple
and just fall into our laps.
But I'm running out of time.
Time goes by so fast,
and I just so tired
of living my life in fear.
You know what?
Jared is right.
Fear is all in my head,
and I am in control of my thoughts.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that if we get a green flag tomorrow,
I'm going up in a balloon.
Okay, are you all sure this is safe?
- Safer than the ride over. - That's for sure!
Jared almost swerved off the road
when Brooklyn said she wanted to go up in a balloon.
And uh, what are the wind conditions?
Favourable.
Okay, you said favourable, that's not ideal!
Jared is a great pilot, he'll take great care of you.
You can do this!
Mmm! Okay.
Yeah, okay. You're right, you're right.
You're all right, I can do this.
I can do this!
- I can't do this! - Sure you can!
And I'll film it.
And we'll be right there, wherever you land.
And you will feel exhilarated afterwards.
Sometimes we just need somebody to help
push us outside of our comfort zone.
Like taekwondo, remember?
Yes!
Okay. I'll take good care of you.
Just breathe.
Okay.
Alright, just breathe.
Ready?
I'm as ready as I'll ever be!
: Okay, Brooklynn, just breath.
You got this. Look at all the other balloons just like us.
Remember just breath. This is amazing!
I thought I would have this
sensation of falling,
but I, I don't.
Is that the Rio Grande?
Yup.
Oh, uh wow.
It's like we're moving but we're not.
- Yup. - And it's so quiet up here.
And there's no wind, why is there no wind?
Because we're in the wind.
Wow. That sound.
Are those dogs barking?
Yup. It always amazes me.
Even at 1,500 feet, we can still hear 'em.
Please don't remind me how high up we are.
Hey, we're just floating. Come.
I'm so proud of you.
You did it!
You conquered your biggest fear.
You're so passionate about what you do,
it's just so inspiring.
It's contagious, and you're so good at what you do
that you just make me feel like I can do anything.
Thank you!
I'm so sorry.
Oh my God, it's gotta be the altitude, the anxiety--
Who's flying this thing?
Oh, nobody's flying it.
I mean, we can only go up and down, we can't control it.
Please don't tell me that again.
Yeah. We're at the mercy of the wind.
It wasn't as terrifying as I thought it would be.
Yeah, we often make things out to be scarier in our minds
than they really are, but you do need to prepare yourself
for the landing,
sometimes it can be a little rough.
What, what, what does that mean?
Well,
sometimes it's a little bumpy.
And sometimes, the basket tips.
What, why are you telling me this now?
And why am I yelling? This is so embarrassing!
It's a natural reaction, it happens all the time.
Okay, here's what I need you to do,
put your hand right here on the rail.
Take a deep breath.
Get low if I say, "brace yourself," you ready?
Okay, okay.
Breathe. Breathe.
Okay, brace yourself.
Are you okay?
I am.
Oh, that was so exhilarating, I feel so alive!
If I can conquer this, I can conquer anything.
- Wow, there you go. - Wow!
- Cheers everybody, bring it in. - Cheers!
Whoo-hoo!
Okay, so I gotta know.
What is with the champagne toast after the balloon ride?
Take it away, Dad. You tell this better.
Alright. Well, it all started
back in the 18th century in France, right?
Where not a lot of people had ever seen a hot air balloon.
And the farmers were deathly afraid
of these fire-breathing, dragon-like things,
and they used to chase after them with pitchforks!
Wow.
So at some point,
a bottle of champagne was introduced,
given as a peace offering
for disturbing the land and the animals.
And thus, a tradition was born.
And life was meant to be celebrated.
Cheers to that!
Um, by the way, about the kiss,
I'm sorry.
I'm not.
You conquered one of your fears
and, I guess I'm trying to conquer one of mine.
Cheers.
I'm planning on visiting Elise in Seattle.
Well, that was fast.
Well, it's not every day you meet someone
who brightens your world, you know?
And, when you know, you know.
If you'll excuse me,
I have something I have to take care of.
I knew you really liked her!
- Napkin? - Oh, thank you.
You're adding green chili?
Yeah, it's starting to grow on me.
You know, I decided I'm gonna start living life
and spice things up a little.
Good one!
There you go.
Thank you.
Oh, that's New Mexico!
Wow, they're amazing.
Yeah, the drone show's amazing,
all the shapes and colours. They're incredible.
I can't believe it's the last night of the fiesta,
tomorrow's our last day.
Yeah, time flies when you're having fun.
Uh, so hey. I uh,
I got you something.
- What? - Yeah, here.
Thank you.
- Open it, open it. - Okay.
Oh. You remembered.
Yeah. I figured, since it reminded you of the sky,
that it might be a nice way of remembering
that you conquered your fear.
And that if you're ever feeling afraid,
then that this might remind you just how strong you really are.
I love that.
Here, let me help you.
It's, um...
- It's beautiful. - Beautiful.
Hey!
Oh Brooklyn, we're gonna... Oh shoot, are we interrupting?
Yes!
Sorry!
I know getting me up in the balloon again
was all part of your plan.
I am just glad that you are back to your old self.
I'm not my old self, something else.
Maybe something better.
I'm so getting fired over this,
but I'm not doing the story at the expense of Jared.
What do you want to do?
You know what?
If you could gather everything from the fiesta and--
We'll talk about this later.
Are you going to tell Mary?
Right now, I am gonna go into the backyard
and meet Jared by the fire pit.
Oh la la! Sounds romantic.
- We kissed! - Ooh, you did?
- Yes! - How was it?
It felt like I was floating, but grounded at the same time.
Elise, I really like him!
Aww, are you gonna tell him?
Mmm, he gave me this necklace.
You got the jaded pilot to open up!
Seriously. Does she ever not work?
I think she usually lives there.
You're not kidding! Ugh!
Ugh! Hello?
Why aren't you answering my calls?
If I didn't know any better,
I would think you were avoiding because--
Listen, Mary. I get it.
I know you love the irony of this cynical guy
trying to build a business out of love and romance.
You think this gimmick is only gonna bring in higher ratings.
But I won't do that.
Listen, Mary, I've gotta go.
Hey.
I don't know how much you heard in there.
I heard enough.
I didn't realize I was being set up.
What?
Was I really just a story to you?
What, no!
No, no, not at all.
No, no, no, no, please.
Please let me explain!
You have to try harder.
Elise, it doesn't matter anyway.
We're going back to Seattle tomorrow.
There's no point,
long-distance relationships never work.
Everything is so messed up.
I've most likely lost my job, and now Jared.
I just wish that I could tell the story
about what I've learned here.
About life, love,
ballooning.
From Jared, his mom, his dad.
My time here...
wait a minute.
I have an idea.
Ohh!
Nice. This is good! Really good.
Oh, talk about getting down to the wire, right?
Elise, I just.
I just I want you to know you are so much more
than just a co-worker to me.
You are a great, great friend.
I feel the same way about you.
- Thank you for everything. - Of course.
You're not coming to the airport with us?
Nope. I've been down this road before, I'm not doing it again.
What do you mean?
I overheard Brooklyn talking to her boss about some story
she's doing on a jaded pilot.
She was just using me for a story.
- Oh, why would she do that? - It's her job!
It's her job, I get it.
But it could cost me my livelihood.
You sure you're not coming with us?
Yeah.
I'm gonna check on flights to Seattle and then maybe we can...
Great.
I thought you'd be more excited.
Thanks for being a great host.
Of course.
Are you sure you're not gonna come with us?
- Not a chance. - I'm ready.
Please, just let me explain.
Have a safe flight.
Promise me that you will show Jared the segment.
I'll do my best.
That's all I can ask for.
Okay, and red or green chili with that?
Christmas, please.
I wish I could be here to see the luminarias at Christmas.
Have you heard from the New Mexico station?
I sent them the segment,
but they've probably already hired somebody else by now.
Look, your segment's gone viral!
What? No way!
It's Mary.
She's probably calling to congratulate you!
Hi Mary?
Brooklyn, I'm calling to say
that what you did was completely unprofessional.
You're supposed to report on the story,
not be the story.
But it went viral!
I know, and that's why I'm giving you one more chance.
Mary, thank you.
For showing me that I don't want to work for you anymore.
I want to be somewhere that my creativity is appreciated.
Because life is not just about money and security.
It's about passion,
and doing what you love.
I quit.
And one more thing, you know what?
You might want to think about a better work-life balance.
You just quit your job!
I did!
And I'm at peace with it.
I actually feel lighter.
I mean, if I can conquer my fear of heights
by getting in that hot air balloon,
then I can take that leap of faith
and follow my passion.
Oh, if that's Mary, I don't want to talk to her.
It's a New Mexico area code.
What? Hello?
Yes, this is Brooklyn.
You loved my segment on the hot air balloons?
Thank you so much.
Would I have creative input on more stories like that?
Okay, alright, I will be looking for your email,
thank you so much!
Oh, my gosh!
I just got offered the job right here in New Mexico!
They were blown away by my story!
You took a risk, and it paid off.
Yeah.
You know what? There's one more risk I need to take.
- Come on. - Oh, yes.
I gotta go, I'll talk to you later.
Brooklyn and Elise made me promise to show you this.
Yeah, yeah,
that's not gonna happen, buddy.
Well, we just got six reservations.
What?
And another one.
And another one! Look at this.
My name's Brooklyn.
And I'm a reporter who was sent to Albuquerque
to cover the International Balloon Fiesta.
I was looking for the perfect story to tell,
but little did I know that I would become the story.
But as I shadowed a passionate hot air balloon pilot
named Jared Troy of Love In The Air,
for five days, I learned a lot about life and love.
Many people like myself are surprised to learn
that you can't steer a balloon.
You're completely at the mercy of the wind,
so you have to learn to go with the flow.
And landing isn't always smoot.
Sometimes it's bumpy,
and all you can do is hold on tight and drop to your knees.
And life is like flying.
Sometimes you rise, sometimes you sink,
but you always land.
And while danger is real,
fear is in your head, and it's a choice.
You can choose to rise above your fears.
Life and love are so unpredictable.
And sometimes, love happens when you least expect it.
And when it does, it can take you to new heights.
But it can also keep you grounded.
This is Brooklynn signing off and telling you
to follow your passion, wherever it may lead.
Ohh.
Alright.
Where... Where are my keys?
They're right in your hand, man!
- Do you want me to drive? - No, no. You're too slow.
Let's go.
Brooklyn! What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be on a plane to Seattle?
Yes, but listen.
There's something I have to tell you.
I'm so confused.
I know. I'm so sorry I was distant, I just...
I got scared because we live in two different cities.
But I love Seattle.
And I'm open to new adventures.
- With you. - Really?
- Yeah! - Oh!
My boss wanted me to tell a story
about a cynical pilot
who was trying to sell romantic hot air balloon rides.
I mean, she loved the irony of it,
and if you had heard the rest of my phone call,
you would have heard me say that I wouldn't do it.
I know, I know. And I'm so sorry.
I don't know how you can forgive me, I'm an idiot.
You triggered me into...
but I saw your piece.
It's really uplifting!
And we've had bookings non-stop, one after the other.
Are you serious?
That's so amazing! Congratulations!
Listen, I know you're going to Seattle right now,
but I want to find a way to make this work.
I'm not going.
You're-- What?
I mean, I am,
but I'm coming right back then,
after I've packed,
because I quit my job.
I got offered the job here in New Mexico.
I accepted it.
So does this mean...
It means home is where your joy is,
and I found a new home.
Aww Elise, I'm so happy
that you guys are having a great time in Seattle.
But I do have to go, Jared's mom and dad
are actually renewing their vows!
Bye!
Alright, bye!
15 minutes and we'll be good to go.
Sounds great!
If your parents are renewing their vows,
why aren't we all in the same basket?
Hey, look over here!
Hi!
Hi!
Brooklyn,
I used to be so closed off to love
until I met you.
The way you freely give your heart.
Your passion, your charm and your vulnerability,
it all made me just fall head over heels for you.
Somehow, you lift me up
and keep me grounded at the same time.
I couldn't imagine going through this incredible adventure
of life without you right by my side as my co-pilot.
So...
Will you marry me?
Oh! Jared!
You have helped me to conquer so many fears.
I mean, look at me now! I'm in a balloon.
Alone I was afraid of heights.
With you,
I know I can do anything!
- So is that a yes? - Yes!
- Yes! - Yes!
She said yes. They did it.
You were right, baby.
I told you love was in the air!
Everywhere you look around.
โช Love is in the air
โช Lifting off the ground
โช Brace yourself
โช Love's calling loud
โช If we survive
โช I'll give you my heart
โช When the world stands still
