your novel.

Oh, I've always loved you. I feel just
the same.

No.

Are you lost?

Confused? dissatisfied with your life

help me describe him who My perfect

guy. Are you kidding, Annie? No, I'm
serious, Kate. Come on. Okay? Now, this

book has given me the tool to realize my
dream. There's three steps.

First step is envision.

I'm working, Annie. I need to write a
book about the perfect relationship. I

have to imagine the perfect man.

Well, he better be able to cook if he's
going to be with you. Yeah.

Yeah? Cook.

That's my client's tax return. Annie.

Cooking implies taste.

Cultured. Well, what about character?
That was one of the first things I loved

about Jason.

Yeah, man of honor.

Musical.

Athletic. Business owner.

Nice, right?

Yes.

Okay, so what's his name?

George. George Burns.

He was so funny.

And?

Madly in love with his wife.

Perfect. So, what does George look like?

Two romance novels.

I'm not writing a spy thriller.

Be honest. A cowboy or a professor?

My George by Annie Butler.

There you are.

My George.

Mom! Kate!

What? It happened.

It happened.

Okay.

Okay.

Dear Miss Butler, we are delighted to
inform you that we would very much like

publish your book, my George.

Unbelievable. That's great.

Congratulations. Thank you. I have a
meeting next week. I can't believe this

happening. I mean, the three E's, they
work to ruin a thing.

You kind of freak us out when you talk
about Rowena Singalow. Come on. What is

wrong with believing in something? My
life was going nowhere.

And it worked. My biggest dreams are
coming true.

Well, kind of. What do you mean, well,
kind of?

I got published.

Yeah, your book about George.

You're a perfect -in -every -way dream
man, except for one tiny detail.

He doesn't exist.

Well, George is real. He just hasn't
showed up yet.

You know what? This deserves a
celebration. I am going to make you your

dinner. In.

I actually have to go. What? Make dinner
for my husband.

Dinner for two it is. Dinner for two.

Don't snack and ruin your dinner. You
know, sometimes you act like a teenager

instead of an adult.

Marianne Doyle?

Eclipse Realty? Mom?

Are you selling the house? I wanted to
tell you and your sister together,

Your news trumped mine tonight.

I think it's time.

It's just that this place is too big for
me. And your dad fixed everything.

He mowed the lawn. He did the garden.

I miss him, too.

Rachel, tell him we're passing on this.

Annie Butler.

A pleasure to meet you. It's so great to
meet you. I cannot tell you how much

buzz my George is getting around this
office.

Everyone has read it, and they're all in
love with George, too.

Isn't that right, Rachel?

Loved it.

Wow. Wow, indeed. The women who work
here aren't easily impressed. If they're

swooning over George, then every starry
-eyed teen and stay -at -home mom will

be falling over themselves to buy your
book, which means, Annie Butler, you're

going to be a big success.

Stella,

have a seat.

Stella, thank you. I can't tell you how
wonderful it is to hear that. Now, on my

end, I've made a few calls and got you
invited to the National Booksellers Expo

next month. That's a huge event for
writers.

It's also the perfect place to pitch the
next big thing. But don't worry, you

won't be alone.

I won't.

I've booked George there, too.

Is that a problem?

Uh, well, yeah.

Why's that?

Because George is fictional.

Excuse me?

The book is a novel.

No, I've already sold this as a memoir
and there's no going back. I understand,

but it's a fictional account of the
future I hope to have, if that makes

Okay, I've got it.

This doesn't have to ruin our momentum.

Momentum? Yes.

I've sent special preview copies of My
George to reviewers and bloggers who,

when they critique your book, can help
us drive sales. And all without a penny

spent on marketing.

Those people?

Think that George is real. Well, I think
that George is real. I just haven't met

him yet. You're going to the expo, and
George is too.

Okay, well, I don't really think Destiny
works like that. Rachel, call Jerry at

Elite Talent. Tell him I need male eye
candy that's good at improv.

I want resumes and headshots on my desk
by the end of the day. Okay, what are

you doing?

Finding George in time for the expo.

Now, I have a meeting in 10.

I need to de -stress after this near
catastrophe.

I can't lie.

You're on a fast -moving train. When you
signed your contract, you bought a

first -class ticket. You said you'd do
anything to market this book.

This is what you have to do.

I'll talk to you soon.

Rachel, get Jerry on the line. Yes, Miss
Hendershot.

She means well.

Tell me, if you're going to keep the
publisher happy, you don't really have

choice but to go along with it. I'm not
going to make someone pretend to love

me. You kind of did it to yourself,
Annie. Wow, that's a good look for you.

Isn't it good?

Yeah. I'm going to keep it.

Not if I actually find George.

Annie, there isn't a guy on the planet
who can live up to your gourmet meal,

cooking guitar, playing, poetry reading,
handsome, thoughtful jock of a guy,

George. Look.

I'm not delusional. I know that when I
find the guy, he's not going to look

George. He's not going to be named
George. I don't know. Maybe you

have written such a convincing book.

I'm going to take that as a compliment.
You should.

Okay, I've got to get back to work.

I've got a new client. He hasn't done
his taxes in five years. I know. Mom,

got to go. I'm going to walk out with
you. They just stuck me with another

shift. Annie, are you staying here?

Let's go. See ya.

Bye, honey. Have fun.

Hey, have you seen the pre -release
analytics for my George yet?

Impressive internet traffic for
something with so little exposure.

This thing has incredible potential if
we handle it right. Numbers are clear.

Women like the book, but they love
George.

Yeah, but it only explodes if the
readers know that George is real. He's

marketing hook. And he's a first -time
author, but George is the key.

But I'm sure you're going to put him on
every stop of the book tour.

I have a few kinks to work out in that
regard. Well, you better work quickly

because we need this book to be a hit
desperately.

New York wants results.

And I intend to deliver them.

All right. Hello, Roaring Twenties.

Opal, I'm sorry. I can come back later.
Shut the door. Who are you? I'm just

here to walk through the house. I'm the
realtor. I'm not Opal.

I should have knocked.

My mom's realtor's name is Marianne
Doyle.

Marianne had to go out of town at the
last minute, so she left the listing

me. I should have known.

It's okay. You can turn around now.

Sorry.

Opal had to leave. I'm her daughter,
Annie.

Annie, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm
George Monroe.

You're George?

Yes. I'm sorry, have we met?

No, no.

I really like the name George.

I'm so sorry. I'm going to go put some
normal clothes on.

I will be right back.

Oh, my goodness.

I hope you don't mind.

No. My mother insisted that I take
lessons for ten years.

Your wife must love that.

Oh, I'm not married.

Girlfriend? There's no time.

The house looks great on the inside, but
the lawn and landscaping are in kind of

bad shape.

Is there any way that you guys could get
that fixed in the next couple of weeks?

I can help my mom with that. Excellent.

This place will sell a lot faster with
some curb appeal.

First impressions, right?

Exactly.

And I swear that I will keep ours until
my grave. Thank you.

It was very nice meeting you, Annie.
Nice to meet you too, George.

My George.

So, your client really hasn't done his
taxes in five years?

Hey, new client.

But, yeah.

And now he's blaming me for
straightening up the mess.

Sometimes it's hard to do the right
thing.

Yeah, well, let's be contagious.

You mean like Annie?

Excuse me?

I didn't say anything.

Yes, you did. You totally just said
something. Thanks for lunch, honey. I

go. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, you're not
going anywhere. Give me that. Until you

tell me what you mean.

I don't know. It just feels like
pretending someone exists to sell

And nobody thinks it matters. And maybe
it does.

Yeah, but... I mean...

It's not like that's Annie's plan. She's
just kind of going along for the ride.

I'm sure it'll all work out. I don't
know. Maybe she's just nervous.

She's been rejected so many times. Then
once more.

She's obviously got the talent.

It might just take a little more time.

My husband is a very smart man.

Smart enough to marry you. That's right.

This time, I really gotta go. Thanks for
lunch. I love you.

Looking for Jack?

Yeah, he's retired.

I'm his son.

Henry?

Annie?

Henry?

Henry Martin? Oh, my. I haven't seen you
since high school.

Your dad retired?

He did, and now I'm back in town. He and
my mom are driving cross -country in an

RV as we speak.

Did you keep the piano? Of course.
What's a nursery without a piano?

Right over there.

Uh, how about you?

What have you been up to?

Well, I wrote a book, got published.

A plus in honors English.

I always knew you'd be a writer someday.

Thanks, Henry. So what brings you to
April Showers Nursery? My mom is putting

her place on the market, so I thought
her lawn could use a little sprucing up.

Yeah, we could do that. Do you have
anything specific?

Well, now that I know that you're here,
I'm happy to put you on the job.

Okay. I can drive by, look at the space,
and I can put some stuff aside for you

if you'd like.

Great. Yeah? Yeah, thank you. All right.
It's so good to see you.

You too. I'm glad you're back.

Wow, thanks.

You too. All right. All right, see you
soon. See you.

It's Della.

Brennan's Bookstore is a family -owned
business, been in town for three

generations. They like to support local
talent, so they're hosting a release

party for new local author Annie Butler.

Think of it as a practice run before the
expo. No way.

No way.

You'll do a brief reading, then a meet,
greet, and sign right after.

They're also giving you a full ad in the
newspaper and a full My George Window

display in the store.

Hopefully we get a good crowd.

Can't believe that this is happening.
Thank you so much, Stella. I don't need

gratitude, Annie.

I need book sales.

This is your baby.

Do everything you can to sell it.

I will.

Good.

Need to read your closet.

Nice to see you, too. Hey, Jake. Hey.

What's up?

I have a book release party tomorrow.
And it happened. I met him.

Who? George.

You've had a big day.

Come on.

Oh, Jason. Why can't you put your
clothes in the hamper? I might wear them

again. Then put them in the closet.

But I might not wear them again.

I can look while I listen. Phil. Okay.
His name is George Monroe.

He's Mom's realtor. We met after you
guys left. Wait.

Mom's realtor is named George?

That's spooky.

It's not spooky. It's destiny.

Not that one. Anyway, he's handsome.

He's a gentleman. He's sophisticated.

Not to change the subject away from your
potential future happiness, but does

dream guy seem like he'll do a good job
selling the house?

Because mom's got her eye on those
condos downtown, and they are not cheap.

I like this.

George actually mentioned that the lawn
needs some fixing up. That's true.

Guess who's back in town?

Who? Henry Martin.

Henry's back?

Yeah. Well.

If he's in charge of fixing up the lawn,
then I feel good about it. And I

definitely feel good about that.

No one is supposed to be here later than
I am. I live here, Adela.

You work out the kinks with George?

In a way. At least I think I found him.
Found him? What are you talking about?

I'm talking about giving our audience
what it wants and giving our book what

needs. Which is?

George.

You mean he doesn't exist?

He does now.

Oh, I don't know, Della. I mean, this
sounds like... Embellishment?

Is that a business term? It's a bedrock
marketing principle.

Is Annie willing to go along with this?
As long as she doesn't have time to

think about it after that, I'm not so
sure. We're taking a real risk, Della.

Troy, you live in the same zip code as I
do. Are you ready to give that up?

No. Neither am I.

So we should be willing to put sales and
marketing to the limit of industry

standards to get this book sold.

We worked together a long time, and you
never cease to amaze me.

I do my best.

Can I buy you dinner?

Just don't try and expense account the
bill.

I'm having enough trouble justifying
your limo.

I'll do Campbell's this afternoon. I'll
come help you work on the night garden.

Sounds good.

Oh, uh, Miss Russo is insisting on
planting French marigolds in her

Not going to work. Not enough sun. I
know. I know.

Oh, wow.

Brennan's Bookstore presents local
author Annie Butler for an exclusive

of her new book, My George, today only
at 2 p .m. No problem. I will reschedule

the candles so that you can go do that.

Well, I mean, it would be a nice thing
to do to support Annie. I know.

She's my friend. She's releasing a book.
I mean, it's a big deal. It's a decent

thing to do.

I'm agreeing with you.

April Showers, this is Henry. How may I
help you?

My George Release Party. Meet author
Annie Butler and George.

I thought we weren't going to need
George until the expo.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Excuse me. Oh, sorry.

I'm sorry.

Annie. Hi, Henry. Thanks for coming.

No biggie.

Somebody I know went and wrote a book
and is having a fancy signing.

So sweet of you. I'm sorry. I can't talk
right now. Yes, of course.

Please, go, go.

Sweetie, what is Henry Martin doing
here?

Mom, Kate, can you fill her in?

Okay. Okay.

Dilla?

Oh, love the dress. Thank you. What is
going on? What's with all the George

stuff? Well, I told you readers will be
expecting him, so I'm delivering him.

But I met him.

Annie? Yes?

Darling. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who are you?

I'm George.

You're not my George. I met my George.

Then where is he? Well, we just met. I
couldn't ask him to come here.

And what good is that doing me?

I stayed at my mom's house and George
showed up even though he was supposed to

be Marianne.

What? It's all coming together. It's
happening.

Wow. Once those women get a look at him,
he will be George.

For better or for worse. It's George.

Love, wouldn't it be great if we could
bottle that?

What's going on? No one saw his face,
Stella. We can save this. Do I still get

my day rate? Quiet.

You said that you would do anything to
market this book.

This is the thing.

This is George. Well, when we're not
acting, you can just call me Matt.

it. I don't want to act. This is my
life. And your career, which will pay

your life, which will likely fall apart
if I sue you for breach of contract.

Fine. Awesome.

Let's do this. Good.

Can I borrow some of that?

Yeah, sure. It's fine.

Oh,

George, what's wrong? Is that your
migraine?

What did you do? Not now, Della. We have
to think about George.

What's that, honey? Oh, you want me to
stay?

What?

I clearly underestimated you.

Wait in the car.

I'm really sorry.

Everyone, George is going to be all
right.

And luckily for you, author Annie Butler
is still here to read from her just

released and soon to be bestseller book,
My George.

Thank you so much for coming.

Okay.

One day, I came to believe in love.

If someone had asked me even the night
before if I thought love was real, I

would have answered yes. But that's
because they would have asked the trick

question. Did I believe in love for me?

And that answer, sadly, was a resounding
and disappointing no.

Until...

I met George.

Thank you so much.

The book signing or the fake George
dodging? We'll see you later.

Amazingly, you pulled it off.

And not that you should be rewarded for
your appalling behavior earlier.

But you see that woman over there?

Hey, Tanya.

That's Tanya Summers.

The radio DJ?

You're now booked on her show Friday
night from 5 .30 to 6 p .m. And she's

broadcasting from here.

Peak driving time. Thousands of
listeners stuck in traffic who will be

captive audience.

Stella.

Amazing. It can be.

If you don't mess it up.

Tanya Summers.

Remember Tanya Summers. Should I listen
to the show? Get a feel for it? It

doesn't matter.

What matters is your desire to sell my
George.

Is this yours?

I like being driven.

I can work while I ride.

Wow, that must be expensive.

You need a lift?

No, I've got my car.

Next time, hire a car.

I can never afford it. You can when your
book hits.

Do you really think it will?

You got a minute? Sure.

So, Annie.

I wanted to ask you, who is this George
we're talking about?

Oh, you know, I shouldn't have said
anything. It's too soon. Come on. It's

you're talking to, Annie.

Dish, girl. His real name is George.
Stop it. No. I'm serious.

It's George Monroe.

That's great.

Is he hot?

He's good looking.

Does he have a job? He actually owns his
own business.

Della likes.

What kind of business?

Real estate.

Oh, the market's rebounding.

Might have to steal it from you.

When does George become your George?

Oh, gosh.

Della, I don't know.

Well, now you have two jobs.

To sell this book and to reel in George.

I never really thought of relationships
with jobs. Well, now this one is.

Get busy.

We're really excited.

I hope it goes through.

Okay. Bye.

Hi. Hello.

I'm here to see George Monroe.

Do you have an appointment? Hi, Annie.

Hi. Hi.

Did we have an appointment? I'm sorry. I
was just on my way out. No, we didn't.

I was just dropping in. I wanted to go
over some of the plans before I made any

changes with the curb appeal.

Well, I was just going to use my lunch
break to get a run in. Then I have a

lunch with a client and a showing after
that. Maybe tomorrow?

Tomorrow I have an open house and then
meetings all day after that.

Maybe next week?

You know, I'm up against a deadline.

Oh, but I see you're a fellow runner.

Yeah.

Yeah, these are running shoes.

Well, we could chat while we run. That's
an idea.

That is an idea. I didn't wear my
running pants, though. No, that's okay.

have just the thing here. Wendy, do we
have any of those promotional shorts?

yeah, yeah, yeah. We do. We do. So a
month ago, our company did a mud run for

charity, and we had these promotional
shorts and T -shirts made up. So it's

lucky day.

I designed the logo.

Oh, that turned out really well for me.

Great. Right?

Yeah.

There's a bathroom right back there
where you can change.

I'll meet you outside in five minutes.
Great.

Go for a run. Thank you. Okay, have a
good one.

Those look great. Oh, thanks.

You ready?

Yeah. Okay. Oh, now.

Just around the block. Okay, okay. Hold
on. Okay.

You look great.

Thanks.

What are you eating?

Would you like a bottle of water? That
would be great.

Okay, Wendy, inside can hook you up.

I'm just going to run home really quick
and have a shower before my afternoon

meeting. But I will see you around,
okay?

Clearly not envisioning this right.

Whoa.

I know.

I'm terrifying.

Um, George has an open house tomorrow.

Do you happen to know the address?

Yeah.

482 Oakwood.

Okay.

Hi.

Oh.

For me? For your mom. Would you make
sure that she gets them?

Oh, you brat.

They're beautiful. Thank you. Mm -hmm.

With the new schedule, I...

Seems like we just passed each other
coming and going.

Yeah, or like meeting up for five
minutes while your partner grabs dinner.

It's like we're dating again.

It is like we're dating again.

Oh, how'd the reading go yesterday?

The beginning was just ridiculous.

There was a fake George there, but Annie
got rid of him somehow.

Why?

Because he wants to replace him with the
real George.

I'm confused.

So am I. I don't know.

The actual reading part, though, that
went really well.

Well, that's not surprising. Annie's
book is terrific.

You read it? Between runs the last few
nights. Though I gotta say, this real

George has a lot to live up to if he's
supposed to match the guy in the book.

you think that I should, like, insist on
meeting him?

I'm not getting into sister politics
between you and Annie.

Because I'm only on your side. Well, no,
but this isn't about Annie and me. It

will be if you get involved.

Well, what am I gonna do then?

Be supportive of Annie and be there to
catch her if she falls.

So, don't demand to meet George.

I wouldn't.

But you'll know what to do when the time
comes.

That's Ed with the salad. I gotta go,
sweetheart.

I'll know what to do.

Yeah, easy for you to say, buddy. Bye.

Bye.

Hello?

Hello. Welcome to 482 Oakland Road. Oh,

Annie.

Nice to see you again.

Is there something else I can help you
with?

Oh, well, I came to look at the house.

For my mom, of course. Your mother was
very clear about wanting a one -bedroom

condo. This is a three -bedroom single
-family home.

Oh, right.

My cookies.

You bake? It's a tasty little sales
pick.

The house smells like cookies.

Which reminds people of their childhood,
their holidays of baking with mom.

Especially in the larger homes where
people are thinking about raising a

of their own. It makes them think about
their holidays in this house.

But who doesn't like chocolate chip
cookies?

It's impressive.

Got the sparkling water, the juice,
wine.

Do you like wine?

What's not to like?

There you go.

Thank you.

Cheers.

There's a prospective buyer.

I go to the monthly wine tasting event
at the Corkscrew Wine Bar on Mott

It's tonight if you'd like to come.

Oh, great.

What's the emergency?

I just got off the phone with New York.
We're running out of time.

My George has to be a hit. It won't be a
hit. It'll be a home run.

You tell New York I've spent the morning
getting the e -edition of My George in

first position on every platform that
counts. And open bidding on the movie

rights yesterday.

So you got Annie to go along with the
phony George marketing plan? I realize

I never could have. What changed?

Annie found her real George.

Problem solved. Met her real George.
What's he like?

I don't know.

Haven't met him. Then how's our problem
solved?

Because Annie's on board.

I thought you needed George on the book
tour.

He'll go.

Once we convince him.

I have a plan.

Now, could you stop wasting my time?

I've got tons of phone calls to return.
All the morning shows want George now,

but I'm putting them off until the book
debut.

Can I go? Yes.

Thank you, Troy.

Oh, Annie.

You made it. George, hi.

So, this is the... One of the best
networking events in the city.

Networking? I promise.

Whatever it is that you do, you'll meet
someone here who can help you with your

business. What is it that you do? I'm a
writer.

I was actually wanting to talk to you
about that. A writer.

This might not be the most helpful place
for you, but hey, it's a great event.

Clearly. So, Mingle, make some contacts.
Maybe you'll find a landscaper that can

help you with your mom's place.

Phil Abbott.

I'm George Monroe.

It's real tea.

Kate?

Oh, sweetie, I'm so sorry. That sounds
awful. It is. Are you going to be around

tonight? Okay, well, just come over
here. Okay, I'll see you in a bit. Yeah,

it's fine. Thanks. Okay, I love you. See
you soon. Bye.

Uh -oh.

What? Annie, she had a date with George
tonight.

Didn't go well.

What? It's 7 .45.

Did it even start yet?

Hi. Mom? Is it Annie? Yeah, code red.

I'm on.

Sweetheart, can you get that, please?

Got it. Thank you.

Uh, hi, Annie.

Hi.

They're, um, back that way.

Okay. Thanks.

Sure.

What happened?

It wasn't a date.

It was a networking event.

And because I'm not a local business
professional, George only spent five

minutes talking to me.

Well, honey, you have been forcing this.
Yeah, Annie, it doesn't work like that.

Well, it was supposed to.

I mean, I wrote a book about George, and
then he appears when I need him.

Hey, um, I'm going to go meet Ed and the
guys, let you ladies have some family

time. Wait, what?

Hold on.

Jason.

you going?

Look at Annie.

She's a wreck.

She probably doesn't want to be crying
in front of me.

You girls need your privacy.

Thank you, sweetie.

I love you. I love you.

Bye. Bye.

Okay, so how are we going to fix this?

Well, we're not.

I give up.

You do?

I have this radio interview tomorrow,
and I promised Della that if I couldn't

get George there, I'd let the actor play
him.

Once someone is my George, it's over.

Hendershot Publishing. Della Hendershot,
please. I'll put you through, Annie.

No, no, no, no. Her voicemail's fine.

Della, it's Annie Butler.

Listen, I couldn't convince George to do
the radio show, so I guess Matt the

actor becomes George.

I'll do my best to be convincing.

Bye.

Hey.

Morning. Can you join me out here?

Yeah.

Okay, so I was thinking we would do
mostly perennials because they're pretty

resilient, you know, like pansies and
patience, stuff like that.

Patience, that sounds about right.

I was also thinking we could do a small
little seating area with a rock garden.

You know, it looks good, but it's also
really low maintenance.

Sure.

Why don't you just take a look around a
little, see if anything jumps out at

you.

You know, as a kid, I'll never forget
how wonderful I thought it was that

was a piano out here in the open.

Yeah, the family compromise.

Mom always wanted me home practicing,
and Dad wanted me here helping out.

You know, we're still playing Name That
Tune.

Come sit.

Come on.

Want to give it a shot? Oh, boy. Okay.

You can do it. All right. Ready?

Here we go.

Damn it.

We sang that for choir in junior year.

She remembers.

I don't know. Wait.

After you get what you want, you don't.

Oh, you did good.

All right.

And though I sit upon your knees, you'll
grow tired

of me.

Do you remember?

Because after you get what you want, you
don't want what you wanted at all.

Wow.

I'm totally read up.

Annie, good to see you. No stunts today,
right?

Della, you have my word. Have a seat.

Hi, Matt.

Hi. I guess I should call you George.

Sure, if that's easier for you.

Okay, so Matt has read the book and he
knows your shared history now as well as

you do.

So just relax, be natural, and let him
do his job, okay?

Okay. Oh, I also ordered you all some
sandwiches, so eat up. I don't want your

stomachs growling on air. Thank you.
I've been memorizing the book all day. I

totally forgot to eat. I am so sorry.
I'm starving.

This doesn't taste like peanut.

You know what? You got mine.

Peanut butter and banana. I know it's
childish. I just love it.

Nobody panic, but I happen to have a
life -setting peanut allergy.

What?

It's no big deal. I just need to find
my... My EpiPen.

Okay.

It seems not to be here.

Stella, I really, really appreciate the
opportunity, and I hope you'll consider

me for something else. But right now, if
I don't get to the emergency room, my

face will swell and my throat will
close. Okay. Get him out of the back

right now and straight to ER.

Now! Go!

Do I still get paid?

And welcome back.

I'm here with local author Annie Butler,
who wrote the recently released book,

My George, about her astonishingly
wonderful relationship with her

George.

Welcome, Annie.

Thank you, Tanya. I'm so happy to be
here.

Annie, I promised my listeners that you
and George are going to be here. I know,

I know. It's just awful, actually. He
accidentally had a bite of my peanut

butter sandwich, and he's allergic.

Well, you don't mention anything about
George's medical problems in the book,

but just this week he had to leave a
book signing because of a migraine, and

today with this terrible allergic
reaction.

Yes. Is this guy for real?

Um, well... Well, he seems so sweet and
genuine in the book.

Now, I bet he doesn't want to steal your
thunder.

Maybe he's like those husbands that get
sympathy pains when their wives are

pregnant. George is making himself sick
so that you can have a spotlight.

That sounds so much like him.

one drive time, listeners are going to
get to meet this perfect guy.

Well, Tanya, if I could jump in. Hey,
listeners, Della Hendershot here.

Annie will be at the American Bookseller
Expo with my George by her side. So,

listeners, y 'all, come on out. Okay,
did you hear that, listeners? An invite

the American Bookseller Expo.

Okay, I'll take it.

Hello, Della. This is George.

George, I was thinking about putting my
house on the market and hoped that you

would be interested in taking the
listing.

Okay, great.

Can I find out how you heard about me?
From a colleague.

Might I ask which one? I also looked you
up online and I see that you weathered

that economic downturn nicely.

I'm impressed.

I saw the housing crisis as more of an
opportunity than a catastrophe.

Lemonade from lemons.

Something like that.

And where is your home, please? About a
mile above Boulevard, near Canyon.

Well, that certainly is a desirable
area. And one that you haven't worked in

yet? Actually, no.

But I'm betting you'd like to.

I hope you don't see it as a negative
that this is an area where I haven't had

clients before. I'm more interested in
your motivation, George.

Care to meet at my house, say, tomorrow
afternoon?

I would like that very much. I'll email
you the details.

Great. Thank you very much, Stella. I
look forward to meeting you. Likewise.

sure. Again, who was that colleague
that... Got him.

Why are you and my wife reading the same
book?

She's all worked up about it. George
this, George that. He's so romantic, so

thoughtful.

The book that Annie wrote.

Wow, would you look at that.

Tell Annie I said thanks for setting me
up for failure.

Annie!

Thanks for meeting me here. I'm working
from home today.

But...

I have big news.

Kanye the DJ traded some buzz for us.
There's chatter on the blogs that George

may not be real.

But don't worry.

There's enough people who think that he
is. And either way, it's publicity.

Brennan Bookstore sold out of their
stock. And the online sales shot up 14 %

overnight.

14%. And we need to build on this. So we
really need to get moving on this

George thing. I just saw him yesterday.
I haven't had a chance to ask George

yet. Ask George what?

George. Hey, Annie.

Sorry, honey, your track record wasn't
impressive.

Annie, didn't you want to ask George
something?

I'm sorry, I really needed to take that.

George Monroe.

Handle your business.

Look, just tell him everything. We can't
let this fall apart at the expo. That

isn't the way I wanted it to happen.

If he is your destiny, as you continue
to say over and over, Then you're meant

to be one way or the other. This way,
it's faster.

Here.

Take the book. Show it to him.

It'll stroke his ego.

George.

I wrote a book.

You said you were a writer. That's
great, Annie.

The problem is that I... I wrote this
book about my great relationship with

guy. My George.

That doesn't sound like a problem.

He doesn't exist.

I don't understand.

Well, it turns out that people are
reading my book, which is amazing.

But they also expect to meet George,
who's a fictional character that I

that now everyone assumes is real. And
in a couple weeks, I have the National

Bookseller Expo, and it's a really big
deal, and everyone expects George to be

there.

Oh. Look, I know that this sounds crazy.

Maybe, possibly, you could be my George.

That's very flattering, Annie. Really. I
know that we just met, okay? And I'm

not asking you to be the guy in this
book. Not really. I'm just asking if

you could pretend to be in front of
thousands of people and when I say it

loud... Sounds like a great deal to ask
someone.

Yeah. I don't think I can pretend to be
your guy.

I just don't think it would be the right
thing to do.

That's ironic.

What is?

That's exactly what he would have said.

I guess I'll see you at your mother's
place.

Yeah.

So? You're going to have to look through
your pile of headshots, Stella.

Two kings. Okay, I have a queen.

Hey, cheer up, Charlie.

Lend me a smile.

Remember that? A little more enthusiasm
and maybe I wouldn't have to... Does

anyone... Would you listen to your
mother?

Sure. Thank you.

Does anyone have a king?

Yes! I've got... Wait, okay, so I have
two kings?

I have to have them both.

Hey. Coast is clear.

What do you mean? Annie's gone?

She just left.

Where are you?

I'm at work, actually.

What? Yeah, I picked up a shift.

I don't understand.

Well, I was on my way to meet Ed when I
realized I could cover for Miguel if he

wanted a night off. Turns out he did.
You took a shift without calling me? I

thought Annie was going to be there all
night.

I have been looking forward to this
night with you for like two weeks.

I don't know what to say.

Okay. Well, I gotta go.

So you turned down Annie.

Does that mean you're also turning down
my house, too? I don't see what one has

to do with the other. Annie is the
colleague who told me about you. And me

pretending to be her boyfriend is
contingent on my getting your listing.

Let me explain to you why you should
date Annie.

Go on. When her book blows up, you'll go
from young real estate guy to

successful celebrity realtor.

Imagine what it will do for your
branding.

But what if the truth in the book comes
out? It probably will.

But when it does, worst case for you,
you'll have a front page connection with

scandalous author.

It's a golden opportunity, George.

Mom, I want to be alone.

It's not your mother.

Hi. Hi.

Annie, I'm sorry that I ran off on you
like that the other day. I was just

surprised by what you were saying.

Come in, please.

George, um...

You do not have to apologize. What I
asked you to do was... Totally doable.

What? I mean, you might have to coach me
on some of the finer points, but I

think we can pull this off.

When did you change your mind?

Annie, I bake cookies.

I go to wine tasting.

I'm willing to consider any out -of -the
-box thinking as long as it will

advance my career.

And...

It appears that, for whatever reason, I
am part of your out -of -the -box

thinking. Really?

Sometimes in the business world, you
only get one shot.

And you should get yours.

George, I think this whole thing is
going to be way more involved than just

expo.

I don't want you to lie.

Well, we're not lying. We're not?

Sure, maybe we're stretching the truth a
little bit for right now.

But maybe I just need to get to know you
better before the expo.

There might be something there. There
might be.

And on that note, how about dinner
tomorrow night?

Okay.

I brought you two some water.

Henry, you have been missed. It's so
good to see you around the house again.

Oh, thank you, Mrs. Butler.

You want to get a better look at him?
You can help with plants and stuff.

Oh, honey, if I had any interest in
gardening, do you think that the lawn

look like this in the first place?

Which makes a point. Well, I will leave
you two. Thank you, Henry.

In case I didn't say it before.

Thanks for helping me out today. I know
you're busy with a book.

I'm reading it, you know.

You're a really great writer, Annie.

Thanks, Henry.

Well, I know we're supposed to keep the
art simple.

I think that these colors are really
going to look nice.

Yeah. Yeah, I think it's going to look
good, too.

But there is something beautiful about a
single color that looks great as well.

Just come by the nursery the night of
the 30th and trust me.

You will be wowed. Why at night?

It's a full moon.

I'm giving a talk on night gardens, and
there is nothing more beautiful than a

white garden in the moonlight.

Wow, that sounds incredible.

Yeah, it is.

You should come by.

They give you ideas for your mom's
backyard.

The 30th, that's the night of my book
expo.

Two hours away, I don't think I can make
it back in time.

Next time.

Yeah, next time.

Yeah.

I am so sorry. I'm such a klutz. Are you
okay?

Hold on. Come here.

Now I'm actually making it worse.

You look pretty with dirt on your face.

Annie.

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, you're George. George, this is
Henry Martin, my...

My old friend from high school and mom's
landscaper. Great. Well, I was just

bringing the sign by.

And are we still on for dinner tonight?
Yeah, of course.

Silly.

Great, because I know of a really
fantastic Italian place that we could

You know, how about you just come over
to the house, get a nice cozy meal at

home? What time?

Usual. Okay.

It was good to meet you, Henry.

Yeah, you too.

George, take care. Bye.

So that's George.

I guess you learned how to cook.

Used to burn jarred pasta sauce.

You know, I'm just going to go in there
and... First nap.

Hey, sweetie.

Want a snack?

Actually, I need something bigger than a
snack.

I have a date with George tonight.

My realtor, George?

Yep. Wow.

That Ramona Angel Fog whatever.

Rowena St.

Cloud. Honey, I'm just saying that her
three E's, they actually work.

When did this thing with George happen?

It had to be within the last 24 hours.

Last night.

Although I may have just told him that I
would cook him dinner tonight.

Honey, despite my best efforts, you
cannot cook.

And besides that, it's already 3 o
'clock. Your clothes are still in the

Well, can you cook me something?

Oh, I made a lasagna. All you have to do
is defrost it, stick it in the

oven at 350 for 40 minutes. You got a
homemade meal.

Amazing. Amazing. Thank you. You're
welcome. You saved the day.

Again. Again.

Heath Offering.

Paco, sit.

That dirty pool.

I'll care.

Is this love or war?

It's always love.

Except when I have a momentary lapse of
reasoning.

Well, I'm the one who ran out on his
wife the other night when she needed my

support. No, she's the one who should
have said that she needed support.

A good husband would have recognized her
need.

Well, a good wife would have understood.

Great wife.

Brings tacos.

Is that all it takes?

Yeah.

You rat.

I love you.

Oh, I brought extra for Ed if he wants
it.

Let's not tell him that.

Smart man.

I was supposed to defrost the lasagna.

Lasagna, lasagna.

For 25?

Hi. Hi.

Wow, those are beautiful.

I figured we'd start this off right.

So, can I come in? Yeah, come in. All
right.

Something smells great.

Oh, it's a family recipe.

Oh, I started reading the book.

That is some romance that we have.

Right? Yeah.

I thought you could just walk me through
some of the particulars for the expo.

Sure. How about we just sit down and get
to know each other first?

Do you want something to drink?

Water would be great.

Water.

So how was your day? Oh, it was very
good.

Yours?

It was good.

I'm sorry, Annie. Is, um, something
burning?

Oh.

Oh!

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh.

Oh.

I ruined it.

To be fair, I don't think it was the
water.

I'm so sorry.

No need to apologize.

These things happen.

I've got an idea.

Thank you for dinner.

It was great.

I told you, they have a mean key lime
pie.

How'd you hear about this place?

I used to live in the neighborhood.

It's been my local local for years.

I have to say, after I ruined dinner, I
didn't think that this date was

eligible. It was bound to be a success
as long as we were together.

Very sweet.

Well, shall we?

You're spoiling me.

Well, you deserve it.

Besides, I've made an investment in you,
Annie Butler.

And I need to protect it.

You girls really did it.

I can't believe you're moving, Mom. Our
lives are in these boxes.

Yeah, but luckily the second half is
still to come.

Speaking of wits, what's going on with
you and George?

You guys in love yet?

What? You made it seem like it was just
a matter of logistics.

The lasagna possibly looked like
fireplace ash.

I thought that one was foolproof.

Good to see you back. Thank you.

Hi, Mrs. Butler.

Hi, Henry.

Annie.

Got you a little something for helping
me. Oh, those are beautiful.

Well, I am very glad you showed up,
Henry, because our Annie is having a

bit of a rough time, and I think maybe
the manual labor might be just the thing

for her to get her out of her head.
Okay.

And before my mom says the same thing
about me, I got to get back to work.

Bye. Bye, baby.

See ya.

You too.

Hey, we definitely need to hang out
soon.

Yeah. Okay? Absolutely. Bye. See ya.

Okay, I am going to put these in water
and make you two some butterscotch chip

cookies. Oh, Mrs. Butler, you
remembered.

You up for this?

We got some more flowers to plant.

All right.

You first.

All right.

So what did you think of his work?

Colorful.

Powerful. You can be honest.

I didn't really get it.

It's whatever you feel it is.

This particular piece I find very
moving, but I see a lot of pain.

Where?

I hope you weren't too bored in there.

You were awfully quiet.

No, I was just taking it all in. I
didn't know abstract art could be so

complicated. But what I find so
intriguing about his work is that each

a choice.

And all these seemingly random choices
come together on the canvas to convey

singular thought.

Pain. Exactly.

Thank you.

Had a really great time.

I feel like you didn't have that much
fun.

No, I... It's okay.

Abstract art isn't for everyone.

Why don't you pick something fun for
next time?

Okay. Okay.

Good night.

So you want to talk about it? It's a
long story.

Did you get into a fight with George?

No.

Oh.

Is that surprising?

No, no, it's just... I don't know, when
I saw the two of you, you didn't seem

like a couple in the book, that's all.

Because we're not like the couple in the
book.

What, is fame affecting your
relationship?

No.

Reality.

So there's three Bs? Three Es.

I envision George. Now I'm experiencing
him. I just don't know that I'm

enlivened yet.

Catching up here. So George in the book
is... Victim.

George the realtor... Has to be real.

It could ruin my career before it even
starts.

And I want to make it work. I do.

When I met George, it felt like
everything was falling into place. It

hasn't felt that way since, and I don't
know how to fix it.

Okay, so plan on doing something fun
together.

Well, that's just it. I don't know what
I do that you would enjoy doing.

Well, you like nature, right? You could
go on a hike.

There's a new piano bar that opened up
in town.

What about a game night? I love all
those things.

Plus, don't you and George go dancing in
the book?

Henry, that's kind of brilliant.

Yeah? Well, I just want you to be happy,
Annie.

Sales continue to climb, and there's a
lot of chatter about the book on social

media. And because of that, I've got you
on as one of the featured writers on

Hello America, and they're doing a
feature for the Expo. On TV.

National TV.

The Expo organizers want you to talk
about breaking into the literary world.

Talk about your relationship and how you
crafted it into a book that women

across the country can relate to.

Talk about my relationship?

Yeah.

That was George Monroe. He asked if
you'll be ready for the open house next

week.

You'll have to call back.

Now, back to business.

My George is doing great, but we need a
second push.

Wow.

Annie, you look... But what are you
doing here?

I just wanted to wish you luck for the
night garden.

Oh, thanks. Bet you didn't have to dress
all up for the occasion.

Actually, George read the book, too, so
he's taking me dancing.

Oh, well, lucky there.

Guy's figuring it out.

I think so.

I don't know. I just need to see him
again.

Make sure we're on the right track.

It's so beautiful here.

Reminds me of a story about a man who
planted a field full of wildflowers.

Just one man. That's a one diligent man.

This man loved a woman so much.

broke his heart when she had to leave.

Oh, a story.

Before she left, she gave him one flower
and she promised to be home before it

died. I hope he watered it.

He watered it.

But then she didn't come back and it
started to wilt. He planted another

because he felt as long as there was a
flower blooming, there was a chance that

she would come back.

Every day she didn't return, he planted
another flower.

And he waited and waited.

And before long, he had a whole field.

What happened to the girl? Well, you
tell me.

I don't know. This is your story.

Well, you'll have to figure that out for
yourself, Henry Martin.

Wish me luck?

Luck, Annie.

These are our gross revenues by quarter
for the last fiscal year.

I've seen these all before. They don't
matter.

What do you mean? This is a hit -driven
business. Believe me. Something breaks

out, the past is forgotten. Yes, but...
Troy, we have a property that can really

move the needle for New York. That's all
that matters to them.

Moving the needle.

When my George starts climbing up the
bestsellers list, they're going to renew

our options just to keep us from jumping
ship. Doesn't that depend on what Annie

does?

All we've got to do is make it through
the next 24 hours and we are home free.

Henry, stop!

You're... What are you... Dude, they're
hard to sell when they're dead.

Yeah.

Hey, what is up with you?

You know how you said that I was jealous
of that guy that Annie was dating?

Yeah?

Well, I hate to admit it, but... You
were right. I want to gloat, but... I'm

just sorry, Henry.

It must be tough seeing her with that
guy.

You know, the way my Ellie talks about
that book, she says it's as if they're

a romance novel.

Yeah, but that's just shit.

It's like they're even the perfect
couple.

Not even a couple at all.

Then why are you upset? You still have a
shot.

How's that?

If you have the courage to do just one
thing in your life, tell someone you

them.

That was in an anniversary card that I
bought Ellie.

I think I'm supposed to leave. Sorry, I
thought you were.

Maybe that's our problem.

You cannot move together with an ocean
between you.

Okay, ow.

What? You stepped on my foot. I'm sorry.

Okay.

I thought you liked the dance.

Actually, I've never done this before. I
just thought it would be sort of

romantic. It's not exactly what I
expected.

A woman must look into the man's eyes
with trust and certainty.

Then he will be able to lead you on a
journey into the music.

Okay.

Do you trust me?

Annie?

Are you selling Della's house?

She told you.

Is that the only reason you're doing
this? Of course not.

Annie. George!

We are here to dance.

I'm so sorry. Excuse us.

Excuse us.

Annie, listen.

Listen to me.

I mean, I know that I can't expect much
more. I asked you to defraud people, to

pretend that you cared about me, that
you liked me.

I do like you, Annie.

I do.

And I was not withholding this Della
thing from you. She just decided that

wanted to sell the other day.

I'm helping you with your career.

Is it so bad that you're helping me with
mine?

If I sell Della's house, it will be my
biggest commission ever.

It could lead me to new clients, bigger
properties.

Besides... Isn't that what people in
relationships do?

Help each other out?

Are we in a relationship?

An unconventional one.

Most people meet and then decide if they
like each other and then go on a date.

We were kind of a couple when we first
met and we're backtracking a little bit.

Unless I messed it up.

No.

I don't know.

When I first met you, honestly, I
thought that we were meant to be.

I just didn't think it would be this
difficult.

I'm not an expert, but maybe
relationships aren't meant to be easy.

Yeah.

Should we go back inside?

No.

No. I don't really have much of a knack
for that.

Plus, I should go home. I have that
speech to write for the expo. I don't

much time to do it.

Annie, I know that we're backtracking a
little bit, but I don't think we should

give up.

Besides, it's kind of neat.

Being someone's destiny.

Good night, George.

Good night, Amy.

I can't believe I've been asked to speak
at the National Booksellers Expo. I've

only been a successful author for a
minute, but I've been an avid reader my

entire life.

I'll just make something up entirely.

Oh, what happened? I have spent the last
two days trying to write my speech for

this book expo. I don't know what I'm
going to do.

Just picture the audience in their
underwear.

Everyone says that works.

It's not giving the speech that has me
worried. It's writing it. I'm supposed

be writing about how wonderful my
relationship is with George, and I don't

if it's wonderful.

Oh, sweetie.

Everything seemed to be going so well.

I don't know.

I mean, George is everything that I
wanted, but being with him is not what I

expected. Does that make sense?

Yeah. Really?

Yeah.

I know that you think Jason is just an
overgrown teenager.

No, that's not true. Annie.

I just think that you put up with a lot
from him.

I do, sometimes.

I mean, look, when I first met Jason, I
felt what you see.

I thought he was some messy, schlubby
guy.

I mean, I didn't expect to spend a day
with him, let alone a life.

But then I got to know the real Jason.

I mean, yeah, he drives me crazy
sometimes, but he also tries really hard

make things better when I'm upset.

He's my best friend.

So yeah, things aren't what I expected
with Jason.

They're way better.

You need to stop thinking about the
George in your book and start thinking

the George in your life.

Henry?

Annie?

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing here?

Is everything all right? No.

I mean, yeah.

Maybe.

I actually don't know.

I need to talk to you.

Okay. Let's go inside.

Yeah.

Do you want to sit down?

Uh, no, no, no, I'm fine, thanks.

What's going on?

Uh, you're always so easy to talk to,
and now that I have the most important

thing that I will ever say to you, I
don't know how to say it.

You can say anything to me, Henry, you
know that.

Even if it's that I'm crazy about you?

And that I don't want you to give a
speech that tells the world that you're

George?

Henry, that's not possible.

Why?

Because I have to give this speech. My
whole career depends on it.

Della is counting on me.

George... What about George?

George came into my life just at the
right time.

We're supposed to be.

Annie, those three E's. It's supposed to
change your life. But not so

specifically. We don't choose who we
fall in love with.

Love is inconvenient and messy
sometimes, but those are usually the

Henry. All I know is that you've been
trying so hard to turn the real George

into the one in the book.

I may have the wrong name, but, Annie, I
know in my heart

that I am the right guy for you.

Henry.

Certainly an interesting discussion.

Thank you, Thomas, Annie, William, and
Lillian, four up -and -coming authors

making their debut at this, the 33rd
Annual National Booksellers Expo. Right

now, we're going to take a quick break,
and we'll be back after this.

That was

perfect. Keep that up, and we will fly
through the day. That was the

easy part. The focus wasn't on me or
George.

What about me?

Nothing. You looked great up there.

You're a star.

Oh, I don't know. Now that I have a
second with you, the open house is going

be from noon to four on Sunday.

It would be best if you could vacate the
premises around then. And, Annie, I

drove by your mom's place on the way
over here, and the curb appeal is

fantastic.

Really, totally worth it. You're a
landscaper. You really put his heart

His name's Henry.

Your speech is in an hour. Why don't you
go practice?

George, can you go with her and give her
some tips? You're good with people.

Sure. You know what? I don't really need
to... I'll meet you in 45 minutes. Oh,

excuse me.

This is Della.

Go.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

He's doing fantastic.

Yeah. Shoot,

let's hear the speech.

What, right here? Sure.

Uh, okay.

I can't believe I've been asked to speak
at the National Booksellers Expo. I've

only been a successful writer for about
a minute, but I've been an avid reader

my entire life.

I've always loved to hear about how my
favorite books came to be, so I'm

to be here with you to share with you
how I created my book, My George.

When I wrote this book, I had an idea of
what love was.

All grand gestures and perfect moments.

What happened?

I was saying love is grand gestures and
perfect moments.

Right. Right, well then that's the work
that you put into it.

So is that the end of the speech?

No, but these note cards are so stiff.

I think it's better if I speak from the
heart.

I absolutely agree.

I used to think that love was about
grand gestures and perfect moments, but

that's not what love is about.

A perfect moment isn't a hot air balloon
ride or dance lessons.

A perfect moment is times of laughter
when small disasters happen.

It's drinking milk and eating warm
cookies.

and not being afraid to share your
deepest, darkest secrets.

Real love isn't about the best moments,
it's about the worst.

And it's about being with that person
you want to be with when nothing in your

life makes sense.

Real love is messy, and it's
inconvenient sometimes.

Those are usually the best parts.

And that concludes our program for
today.

Don?

Yes? Can I have a minute with George,
please?

Sure.

George, my grandmother would say, before
the moon leaves the sky, he

must know he's still your guy.

But I have to go.

What? It turns out, funny enough, that
you're not my George.

Someone else is, and if I don't go see
him right now, I'm going to regret it.

I think that we both know that this
shouldn't be this much work.

So thank you.

I guess you're right.

Yeah.

Set up the meetings. I'm telling you,
the book signings, they are going

fantastic. Gotta go.

Annie, where are you? you going? I'm
going to find the man of my dreams,

He's not here. He never was. I should
have known you'd do this. You told me

yourself this book is selling.

You're making money. You're probably
going to make more money. You want to

me? Go right ahead.

I don't care.

I want to live my life.

I want to be in love, Stella.

I want to be in love and not just in the
pages of my book.

Not as planned.

No, no, no, no. No, this is better. Now,
we'll have to walk back a couple of

statements, but we're in great shape,
Troy. What do I tell New York? That we

have a runaway hit with a sequel in the
works. A sequel?

Mm -hmm. I can see it now.

The sequel to My George, Real Life Love.

Gotta go.

Della? Uh, Della?

I'm so sorry, Henry.

I wanted to tell him before you left.

Tell him what?

The end of the story.

The flower story?

She got lost.

She followed the wrong path for the
wrong reasons.

And she found her way back.

And she keeps hoping it's not too late.

It's okay if it took you this long to
get here.

My Henry.

My Annie.
