1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
you

2
00:00:48,050 --> 00:00:51,670
We read separate my notes. I thought you
were going to summarize them or

3
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:52,990
something. I mean, I was brutal.

4
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:54,390
No, you were honest.

5
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:57,250
You were absolutely spot on with all of
your notes.

6
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:00,450
There's nothing I would have changed.
And there's nothing I could have added.

7
00:01:00,450 --> 00:01:02,050
thought you were trying to remove him
from the bigger houses.

8
00:01:02,350 --> 00:01:03,289
I am.

9
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:04,289
You're my secret weapon.

10
00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:09,630
Listen, his earlier books were on the
bestseller list for a year. The last two

11
00:01:09,630 --> 00:01:10,690
didn't make it a month.

12
00:01:11,070 --> 00:01:14,430
He knows something about it. And you
show him what it is. And you think if he

13
00:01:14,430 --> 00:01:15,710
cares about six pages, he'll sign with
us.

14
00:01:16,450 --> 00:01:18,150
I'll find out later today when we meet.

15
00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:22,870
But first, I want to let you offer a
contract to that new author you

16
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:24,750
recommended. Oh, that's wonderful. Thank
you.

17
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:28,450
I hope she realizes how lucky she is.
Hey, she did the work.

18
00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:32,490
No, I saw the first draft, and somehow
you found a diamond in the rough.

19
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:36,050
I saw a sparkle. I didn't know it was a
diamond until she responded to my note.

20
00:01:36,370 --> 00:01:37,370
Still, she's lucky.

21
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:41,430
Oh, and if I don't see you before your
vacation, please, no presentations. Just

22
00:01:41,430 --> 00:01:42,910
play. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

23
00:01:43,170 --> 00:01:44,530
Relax. That's an order.

24
00:01:44,890 --> 00:01:45,890
Okay.

25
00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:47,630
Scouts Honor.

26
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:53,990
Your mind already at the beach.

27
00:01:58,220 --> 00:01:59,220
The Shepard has a twin.

28
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:00,900
I just rode in the elevator with him.

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,520
Yes, and I swear he's even hotter in
person than he is on his cover.

30
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,020
I know he's meeting with Harper today.

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,560
No, no, wait. We are not going to
interrupt them. Oh, come on, please. No,

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,560
it. No, it's it. Oh.

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,320
No, period.

34
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800
Get it? Because he's a mystery writer.
What mystery brings you here?

35
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,840
Oh, come on. If I did not come down here
and get you going, you would stay so

36
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,180
late. You'd find one more thing to do
and one more and one more until you were

37
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:25,960
so late leaving you wouldn't get to the
beach house after dark.

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,820
Are you calling me a workaholic?

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,800
No, workaholics don't walk as much as
you do.

40
00:02:31,820 --> 00:02:32,820
Okay,

41
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,900
I will take this box to the car. Thank
you.

42
00:02:36,420 --> 00:02:37,420
Okay.

43
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,540
Had I known hard labor was involved, I
might not have come down here.

44
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:41,780
Love you, sis. Love you more.

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,940
Yep, lips with those knees. Uh -huh.

46
00:02:45,220 --> 00:02:46,220
Here we go.

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,120
Hello, Harper.

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Thank you so much for coming in.
Absolutely.

49
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:55,700
Have a seat.

50
00:02:56,049 --> 00:02:57,049
Thank you.

51
00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:59,150
Okay, here are the copy of the notes.

52
00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:11,010
Are you serious with this?

53
00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:13,330
Yes, I am.

54
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:17,630
Listen, Reed, I'm on your side.

55
00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:21,270
And I'm trying to stop the downward
spiral from your last two books.

56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,460
Okay, wait. Now, before you say...
Remember, Harper, I am still a free

57
00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:33,400
You offer me the input without a
contract, any publishing house in the

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,740
would be more than happy to publish me,
and they wouldn't dare ask me to do a

59
00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:38,160
romantic rewrite.

60
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Well, that would be their loss and
yours.

61
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,480
Ivy Roberts?

62
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,839
Ivy Roberts?

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Ivy Roberts?

64
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:48,940
Yeah. Okay.

65
00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:50,780
Ivy Roberts?

66
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,779
Can I help you with something?

67
00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:03,780
Yeah, you can.

68
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,860
What does a romance editor know about
mystery writing?

69
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Uh, what does a mystery writer know
about romance?

70
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,080
I asked you first.

71
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,959
Uh, frankly, any editor worth their salt
can tell you about your last two books.

72
00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:19,779
Three, if you include this one.

73
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:20,980
Bombed?

74
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:25,340
Not the word I was going to use, but
yeah, suffice to say, the romantic

75
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:27,640
subplots, they didn't work. No, no,
but...

76
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:30,890
It was like a bad egg in a cake, okay?
It ruined the whole thing.

77
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:34,410
Got a lot of nerve saying this whole
thing doesn't work. Every time you added

78
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:35,630
moment of romance, you paused the
mystery.

79
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:37,030
Yeah, because it's supposed to be
romantic.

80
00:04:37,410 --> 00:04:39,930
Yes, but it undermined your character
development and the stakes instead of

81
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,310
working as a whole together.

82
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:48,150
You are obviously very talented and a
master of mystery, and your instinct to

83
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:51,650
add a romantic subplot is exactly what
you need to develop your characters.

84
00:04:53,010 --> 00:04:54,030
If you do it right.

85
00:04:55,470 --> 00:05:00,990
Look, the problems are fixable, but
that's entirely up to you. Now, um...

86
00:05:01,030 --> 00:05:03,550
if you want more specifics, you should
read my page notes.

87
00:05:03,810 --> 00:05:06,150
Now, um... No, excuse me.

88
00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:11,470
I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

89
00:05:16,530 --> 00:05:17,530
No, no.

90
00:05:19,850 --> 00:05:23,630
You're not helping.

91
00:05:25,570 --> 00:05:26,570
Okay.

92
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:29,090
Sister? Last chance.

93
00:05:31,110 --> 00:05:32,630
You want to tell me the real reason
you're here?

94
00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:34,190
Have you heard about Zach?

95
00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:36,450
What now, okay? I know I'm going to see
him.

96
00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:39,390
Best man at the wedding. Best man, huh?

97
00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:42,130
You talking about me?

98
00:05:42,510 --> 00:05:43,510
Seb.

99
00:05:43,710 --> 00:05:47,410
Shocking. As it is, none of your
conversation is about you. Hey,

100
00:05:47,650 --> 00:05:48,650
Charming as ever.

101
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:49,930
Zach, what are you doing here?

102
00:05:50,770 --> 00:05:52,990
I am negotiating a deal for a client.
Well...

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Renegotiating, actually.

104
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,560
Hey, have you two seen the article that
today's publishing did on me? No.

105
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,660
I have it right here. You're not going
to believe this.

106
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:05,340
Check it out.

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,420
And they wrote a little piece on me,
too.

108
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Think you've negotiated a deal?

109
00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:16,500
Don't sign until you talk to Zach Ward,
literary attorney and master

110
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,900
renegotiator known for getting his
clients an even larger paycheck.

111
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:21,620
So what, are you coaching clients now?

112
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,860
No, I wait until they're in between
contracts. But I do a fantastic job.

113
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:30,680
If I do say so myself, it's you don't
have to, right? Because they say it for

114
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,680
now.

115
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,860
Some copies are all my law school
classmates.

116
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:37,600
Oh, you're being serious.

117
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,420
Well, I sent them a link. The print
copies were for the relatives.

118
00:06:42,940 --> 00:06:45,980
Awesome. Okay, but I am actually headed
out now.

119
00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:49,680
I'm going to get a couple drinks to
celebrate. Would you ladies care to join

120
00:06:50,170 --> 00:06:51,049
Absolutely not.

121
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:52,050
No, we planned.

122
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:53,430
Okay,

123
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:54,689
you're lost.

124
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:57,650
Oh, I just thought you should know I
have a date for the wedding.

125
00:06:57,970 --> 00:06:59,530
Okay? I didn't want things to be
awkward.

126
00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:04,550
What a relief, right? Because Ivy also
has a date.

127
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:06,570
We didn't want it to be awkward. Does
she know that?

128
00:07:07,550 --> 00:07:09,550
Yes, of course. But you know how she is
with me.

129
00:07:09,970 --> 00:07:11,870
I just thought I should tell you because
I thought you should know.

130
00:07:13,130 --> 00:07:13,909
Sounds great.

131
00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:14,910
See you soon.

132
00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:15,930
Mm -hmm.

133
00:07:17,790 --> 00:07:18,790
Call that helping?

134
00:07:18,940 --> 00:07:22,460
I know, I know. But look, I have a
solution. Me too. Meet at the beach

135
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,260
rush hour or something.

136
00:07:35,420 --> 00:07:36,420
Hey.

137
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,760
Where's Mary T?

138
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,680
Thank you. New beach house.

139
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:47,960
And if that doesn't put you in a better
mood, then I have no idea.

140
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,390
No. Thank you.

141
00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:51,350
Thank you. What are sisters for?

142
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:53,570
Usually for getting you in trouble.

143
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:55,590
Well,

144
00:07:56,650 --> 00:08:00,030
maybe you should wait until I tell you
my thoughts on your draft.

145
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:01,910
You read it?

146
00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:03,810
All of it?

147
00:08:03,990 --> 00:08:04,990
Of course.

148
00:08:06,190 --> 00:08:08,610
And? Well, it's a first draft, right?

149
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:11,890
Mm -mm.

150
00:08:12,510 --> 00:08:13,830
Okay, well, there's good news.

151
00:08:14,490 --> 00:08:17,010
Your editor notes are bought on.

152
00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:24,240
I am so glad you caught me before I left
for a week with the grandparents,

153
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,320
because you need this week here way more
than we do.

154
00:08:28,020 --> 00:08:29,860
So, enjoy the view.

155
00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:32,799
You know, breathe in the ocean air.

156
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:36,480
Then, take another look at the draft.

157
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:37,919
Yeah. And the notes.

158
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:40,279
I will.

159
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,320
Thank you. Yeah.

160
00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:43,380
You got that.

161
00:09:07,690 --> 00:09:08,690
pulling up right now.

162
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:14,310
Stay sound and just in time for sunset.

163
00:09:59,210 --> 00:10:01,330
It's a one main lobster roll.

164
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:03,130
For each.

165
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:13,390
Hey, can I get a lobster roll, please?

166
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,920
Yeah, uh, I think that lady took it.

167
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,700
Okay, I like that. Oh,

168
00:10:50,420 --> 00:10:51,420
that sounds good.

169
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:56,220
Hey, he took my sandwich.

170
00:10:57,220 --> 00:11:00,200
That was my sandwich. Actually, that was
my thing.

171
00:11:02,770 --> 00:11:04,050
What are you doing here?

172
00:11:04,370 --> 00:11:05,710
I asked you first.

173
00:11:07,130 --> 00:11:09,990
Oh, no. Are you stalking me like all the
other vultures?

174
00:11:10,730 --> 00:11:13,130
Vultures? Yeah, there's another one in
line right now.

175
00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:19,790
I have no idea what you're raving about,
but I can assure you I am not stalking

176
00:11:19,790 --> 00:11:20,749
you.

177
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:22,510
Oh, so Harper sent you to apologize.

178
00:11:22,930 --> 00:11:26,290
I have nothing to apologize for. And not
that it's any of your business, but my

179
00:11:26,290 --> 00:11:27,290
family has a house out here.

180
00:11:27,610 --> 00:11:28,610
What are you doing here?

181
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:30,390
My sister has a house here.

182
00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:33,069
Who's hiding?

183
00:11:34,050 --> 00:11:37,430
I am neither hiding nor hunting. Thank
you very much. And for your information,

184
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:42,550
I'm here for a wedding. So please help
yourself to my sandwich. And I'm sure we

185
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:44,130
can avoid each other from now on if we
try.

186
00:11:46,090 --> 00:11:47,090
Wait, hold up.

187
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:50,770
Hey, I read your notes on my book and
you're wrong.

188
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:54,810
I've thought about it all day. There's
no other way the romance works with the

189
00:11:54,810 --> 00:11:56,310
clues of the mystery. You say so.

190
00:11:57,390 --> 00:11:59,950
Look, I don't have time for someone
who's not interested in good romance,

191
00:11:59,950 --> 00:12:00,950
alone good writing.

192
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,080
I thought you said I was the master of
mystery.

193
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,640
Tell me that subplot wasn't an
afterthought.

194
00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:09,080
It showed. It showed from your opening
pages.

195
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:11,760
You planned your mystery clues, but not
your romance.

196
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,140
Why do these characters click? What
keeps them apart?

197
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:19,940
Frankly, your characters lack depth.
They lack interest. It was boring. Look,

198
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:25,640
I'm sorry for being so blunt. I am. And
you're very gifted as a writer. But if

199
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,620
you want to argue with me now, you've
got to walk and talk.

200
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:31,010
Looks like you're trying to avoid the
vultures, too.

201
00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:32,670
You okay?

202
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:36,530
He's an ex.

203
00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:38,130
With a date.

204
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:39,730
Oh.

205
00:12:39,910 --> 00:12:43,070
Look, it's been a really long day, so
could you just excuse me now?

206
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:49,050
You still mad at me?

207
00:12:50,550 --> 00:12:55,940
You're mad. I can tell. I'm not mad. I
just... Zach, having a date, I'm... And

208
00:12:55,940 --> 00:12:59,000
for the record, that's what I was trying
to tell you. I wanted to before he did,

209
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:01,580
and I didn't want you to be taken by
surprise. Oh, which surprise?

210
00:13:01,860 --> 00:13:03,660
Was it that Zach has a date or that I
do?

211
00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:05,639
You're still mad.

212
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,640
You're still mad.

213
00:13:07,180 --> 00:13:11,600
We had a plan, okay? And answering our
family's inevitable questions, no matter

214
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,960
how well -intentioned, it's more than I
can handle right now. And you promised

215
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,640
me that you were going to run
interference. I know, I know, and I

216
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:21,720
Especially with Aunt Edith. But Zach
having a date? Ugh.

217
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,700
My interference is not going to be
enough.

218
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,600
You want to make it worse by saying that
I have a date too.

219
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:27,600
Because I have a solution.

220
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,360
A fake date.

221
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:33,600
Okay, that is one of my favorite
romantic tropes. I know.

222
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,260
Are you being serious right now?

223
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,620
100 % serious.

224
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,300
No, no, no. Fake dates only happen in
fiction.

225
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:42,820
I have three apps that prove they happen
in real life. I'm not interested in an

226
00:13:42,820 --> 00:13:45,440
app. Okay, okay, okay. You know what?
There's another solution.

227
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:49,480
You know, just we could tell everyone
the truth about Zach.

228
00:13:51,620 --> 00:13:54,360
Okay, the less they know, the better.
And I don't want to do anything that

229
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,160
upset Sarah's wedding, so can you just
please stick to the plan, please?

230
00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:02,980
Okay. Mm -hmm. But you know the best
plan? You tweak hers. I think you like

231
00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:03,980
call them rewrite.

232
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:06,380
Yay!

233
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:11,060
Thank goodness. Okay, so Mom is up
there, and Margo's the only one we're

234
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:12,060
missing.

235
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:17,740
I've been so worried about you. I called
Carissa since I heard about Zach's

236
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:20,060
date, but I wanted to make sure that...

237
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,079
Are you okay?

238
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:21,779
Of course.

239
00:14:21,780 --> 00:14:23,280
I couldn't be happier, really.

240
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,240
Okay, but if you want to talk about it,
do you need a shoulder to cry on? I'm

241
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,660
fine. I am. I'm fine, okay? Zach is
ancient history.

242
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:33,180
Ivy!

243
00:14:34,580 --> 00:14:35,740
It's been ages.

244
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:37,940
You know, I'm a fashion buyer in Milan
now.

245
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,480
Yes, I know.

246
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,200
I heard about you and Zach.

247
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,640
You must be devastated.

248
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,840
What happened?

249
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,960
He was such a catch. It's old news,
really.

250
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,040
You two were great together.

251
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,640
Weren't you? I mean, he's rich going on
richer.

252
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:54,940
Oh, you know, that doesn't mean he's
everything Ivy's looking for in a man.

253
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,360
It means she can buy what's missing.

254
00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:01,180
Come on, it's true what they say. Those
who can't buy happiness don't know where

255
00:15:01,180 --> 00:15:02,180
to shop.

256
00:15:03,660 --> 00:15:04,660
I'm kidding.

257
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,680
Even a fashion buyer from Milan knows
that money can't buy happiness.

258
00:15:10,580 --> 00:15:12,560
I just worry about you being all alone.

259
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,280
You know what?

260
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,300
A little makeup. Do your hair and ask
him out for drinks. We should go get

261
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:22,720
dress. She's totally still hung up on
Zach.

262
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,240
It's going to be this and more if you
don't have a date. It's a fake date.

263
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,640
You gotta be kidding me.

264
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,600
Of course, of course. Mom told me the
house sold.

265
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,420
I have something for you. Wait right
there.

266
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:23,080
What's got you so excited?

267
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,040
I went over your notes again, and I've
been up all night rewriting the opening

268
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,040
of my story.

269
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:31,060
And I would like for you to read it.

270
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,900
Please. Look, I know I was inseparable
yesterday, and I'm sorry.

271
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,480
But I would really love to know what you
thought.

272
00:16:43,820 --> 00:16:45,080
The first 10 pages are free.

273
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,940
Oh, you want me to read these now?

274
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:06,300
Yeah.

275
00:17:07,310 --> 00:17:08,790
I haven't even had breakfast yet.

276
00:17:09,010 --> 00:17:10,550
Oh, I'll take care of that.

277
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:12,010
No, you shouldn't.

278
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:13,510
Try my pancakes.

279
00:17:13,710 --> 00:17:16,650
Also, I make a quiche that's
absolutely... With nothing?

280
00:17:16,930 --> 00:17:17,930
Die for.

281
00:17:19,930 --> 00:17:22,510
Why do I feel like I just got conned
into grocery shopping?

282
00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:25,869
Well, the pages can be it. I'll be back.

283
00:17:32,350 --> 00:17:35,030
This idea is our cherished fortune.

284
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:43,950
Breakfast was delicious, thank you. No,
that's not what I meant.

285
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:48,810
Okay, there is still a little zhuzhing
needed, but great.

286
00:17:49,370 --> 00:17:52,830
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so what
needs zhuzhing?

287
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:57,690
Well, you planted fantastic seeds for
romance to take root, and we can see the

288
00:17:57,690 --> 00:18:02,590
potential that these two characters have
for each other, but they have some

289
00:18:02,590 --> 00:18:03,590
conflict.

290
00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:06,810
Well, he's got to catch a murderer. How
can you say there's no conflict?

291
00:18:07,090 --> 00:18:08,090
She's a murderer?

292
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:10,410
No. Then what's their conflict?

293
00:18:12,340 --> 00:18:16,000
Exactly. But look, this is much
improved. The beginnings of a great

294
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,960
subplot and a fantastic book.

295
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:19,340
So you should feel really proud.

296
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:25,460
I want you to help me rewrite my book.

297
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,340
You'll get editorial credit and of
course you'll be well compensated.

298
00:18:29,740 --> 00:18:33,100
Harper is amazing, okay? She can help
you rewrite the... Harper's skills are

299
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:37,920
legendary, but she trusts you and you
know it. So clearly it's your skill I

300
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,710
need. And I would love to. I really, I
would love to help you with this. But

301
00:18:41,710 --> 00:18:43,510
up for this huge promotion.

302
00:18:43,730 --> 00:18:45,830
And I'm already squeezing in work around
wedding events.

303
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:52,530
Like trying to find a wedding date?

304
00:18:54,530 --> 00:18:55,550
You saw that, huh?

305
00:18:57,170 --> 00:18:58,230
Why do you need a date?

306
00:18:59,030 --> 00:19:00,030
I didn't.

307
00:19:00,790 --> 00:19:04,770
But my sister, Carissa, told everyone
that I have one.

308
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:07,410
She's just trying to help.

309
00:19:07,850 --> 00:19:12,910
You know, my ex was bringing a date to a
wedding, and my family still loves him.

310
00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:19,990
I can't understand why we broke up, and
so their questions can be consuming,

311
00:19:20,270 --> 00:19:21,270
shall we say.

312
00:19:23,390 --> 00:19:24,390
Why did you break up?

313
00:19:28,290 --> 00:19:29,470
You don't want to know this.

314
00:19:29,690 --> 00:19:32,750
You don't have to tell me, but why not
them? They're your family.

315
00:19:35,870 --> 00:19:37,360
So in Chapter 2... Yeah?

316
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:43,100
I'll wait till you try my huevos
rancheros.

317
00:19:44,020 --> 00:19:45,020
I can't wait.

318
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,240
This is amazing.

319
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Glad you liked it.

320
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,140
I thought that was you.

321
00:20:06,490 --> 00:20:09,890
Uh, Zach, what a surprise.

322
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:13,150
Yeah, I just thought I'd come and check
on you since you left so quickly

323
00:20:13,150 --> 00:20:14,150
yesterday.

324
00:20:15,150 --> 00:20:19,450
Yeah, it was a really long day, so... I
didn't realize that you had a visitor,

325
00:20:19,550 --> 00:20:22,210
though, and such an illustrious one.

326
00:20:22,670 --> 00:20:23,730
Reed Shepard.

327
00:20:23,930 --> 00:20:27,790
Is this the date for the wedding? I
gotta say, I was a little skeptical,

328
00:20:27,790 --> 00:20:30,470
About that, it's... Zach Ward?

329
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:33,930
You might know me. Did you catch my
piece in today's publishing?

330
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:39,740
No. Master of renegotiation, don't sign
until you let me work. Actually, if you

331
00:20:39,740 --> 00:20:43,880
would excuse us, we were working on a
negotiation of our own.

332
00:20:45,060 --> 00:20:45,799
We were?

333
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,800
We are.

334
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,120
Oh, my gosh, you sneaky little thinker.

335
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,420
Everybody's been trying to get this
guy's book, and... Actually, we were

336
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:55,420
about dating.

337
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,680
We were.

338
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,760
We are.

339
00:20:57,820 --> 00:21:01,560
Oh, we were talking about... Exactly
which events I'll be attending at the

340
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,000
wedding. Oh, okay, cool.

341
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:08,410
Smart. Busy week. All right, so you're
more like colleagues.

342
00:21:08,790 --> 00:21:10,770
You could say that. I wouldn't say that.

343
00:21:11,470 --> 00:21:12,570
Is she friends on you?

344
00:21:12,910 --> 00:21:14,370
I'm definitely not in the friend zone.

345
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:15,610
On that, we agree.

346
00:21:16,050 --> 00:21:19,310
Okay, so dating and working together.

347
00:21:19,890 --> 00:21:21,170
How long has this been going on?

348
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:22,410
A while.

349
00:21:23,110 --> 00:21:27,290
Well, it's hard to say when one morphed
into the other, but it's certainly a

350
00:21:27,290 --> 00:21:30,590
convenient and mutually beneficial
arrangement, though.

351
00:21:31,670 --> 00:21:32,670
All right.

352
00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:35,260
Kind of makes sense, I guess.

353
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,240
All right, but events, you don't want to
miss.

354
00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:41,380
IA. I'm down for everything.

355
00:21:41,780 --> 00:21:42,780
You're in it to win it, huh?

356
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:45,900
I like it. I don't know how much we're
really going to be able to fit in

357
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:47,200
work and all the festivities.

358
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,160
Maybe your sister knows of an app that
would provide better options.

359
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,080
No, we could probably make it happen.

360
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Okay, we're going to be spending a lot
of time together this week, huh?

361
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,920
Will we?

362
00:21:58,140 --> 00:21:59,140
We will.

363
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:02,540
Yeah. All right, well, I'm going to let
you guys get to it, but just read.

364
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:05,860
Yeah, wait till you see what I can do
for you before you agree to anything.

365
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,819
Great talk.

366
00:22:07,820 --> 00:22:08,820
Thanks.

367
00:22:10,820 --> 00:22:16,560
I didn't mean to put you on the spot.

368
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:20,760
I just wanted to give you the option if
you wanted it. It's cleverly done, thank

369
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:21,760
you. Oh, thank you.

370
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:23,940
Good pro quo, right? Win -win?

371
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:25,800
Yeah.

372
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,360
Why do you look so worried?

373
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,910
Well... I've helped hundreds of authors
before, and I agreed to help one more,

374
00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:36,670
but you, you've never even been to one
of my family's events, and you agreed to

375
00:22:36,670 --> 00:22:37,670
go to all of them.

376
00:22:38,370 --> 00:22:39,570
You have no idea what you're in for.

377
00:22:40,290 --> 00:22:42,290
Okay, maybe, but I'm still in.

378
00:22:43,670 --> 00:22:45,450
Oh, sorry.

379
00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:49,330
Okay, so my pages.

380
00:22:52,290 --> 00:22:53,290
Where do we start?

381
00:22:56,810 --> 00:22:59,270
It's my family. They're here early. So
for us, where do we start?

382
00:22:59,470 --> 00:23:00,950
What? That's our story.

383
00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:02,049
Is that true?

384
00:23:02,050 --> 00:23:04,990
That I met you at Triple H and you gave
me notes that infuriated me? Because you

385
00:23:04,990 --> 00:23:05,689
knew I was right.

386
00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:08,290
Honey, be careful with that bag. It's
got the wedding gift in it.

387
00:23:08,490 --> 00:23:11,010
Okay, let's just say for the sake of the
cover story that I've finally come

388
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:14,370
around to your point of view. And as you
taught me about romance, then what? We

389
00:23:14,370 --> 00:23:16,050
discovered our unbridled passion for
each other?

390
00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:18,330
Ivy?

391
00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:20,770
Coming? No, no, no. There will be no
passion.

392
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:22,750
Unbridled or bridled?

393
00:23:23,050 --> 00:23:26,210
Well, that's a pretty passionate
response. You saved it. Okay, so...

394
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:27,700
It's the truth, not the culture.

395
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,920
Okay, um, we met at Triple H while
editing your novel, and it's so new we

396
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,900
want to add pressure by leaving it.
Okay, it's a plausible gray area that

397
00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:37,000
work, but it didn't. Okay.

398
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,500
Ivy? Oh, there you are.

399
00:23:41,980 --> 00:23:42,980
So,

400
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,400
I see you told Clarissa that you'd be
here early. Hi, Dad. Hi, Dad.

401
00:23:47,020 --> 00:23:50,860
Well, I knew you'd be here already, but
I didn't know you'd have company.

402
00:23:51,660 --> 00:23:52,680
Don't be rude, dear.

403
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,139
Introduce us.

404
00:23:54,140 --> 00:23:58,100
Hi, I'm Reed. Ivy and I met at Triple H,
and we're editing my latest novel, and

405
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:00,700
everything is so new that we don't want
to add any pressure to it by labeling

406
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:01,700
it.

407
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,640
Reed Shepard.

408
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:09,480
Michelle and Ted, my parents.

409
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,900
Oh, nice to meet you. I just didn't
think it was going to be so soon.

410
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:16,400
David and my sister Carissa.

411
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,040
Hi, Jeff.

412
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:20,880
Can I help you with your bag?

413
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:22,159
You're fine.

414
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,360
Right here. Okay.

415
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:25,880
We're all big fans, by the way.

416
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:29,480
Thank you. I'm usually much better with
my work.

417
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:31,940
Of course you are, dear.

418
00:24:32,660 --> 00:24:35,000
And here's the second chance.

419
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,620
The thing that, with my daughter, that's
too new to label. What would you label

420
00:24:41,620 --> 00:24:43,060
it, you know, if you had to?

421
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,660
Do I have to? Read it. So much writing
to do, we really should read that.

422
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:52,880
Yes, a writer with a huge vocabulary at
his disposal.

423
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,760
Just give it another go.

424
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,440
You're not helping. You're not.

425
00:24:56,660 --> 00:25:02,100
Won't you humor a loving mother and fan
if you had to label it?

426
00:25:02,580 --> 00:25:03,580
Wedding date.

427
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,640
That's our label. It's wedding date.
Yeah.

428
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Nice.

429
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,640
How marvelous.

430
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:14,500
We thought we'd get to spend time
reading with you on the beach. This is

431
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:17,720
better. Oh, come on. You know, I told
Reed that I would actually help him with

432
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,280
our pages, with his pages. My pages. His
books.

433
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,060
So we should go. Oh.

434
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,639
Of course.

435
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,220
I've been waiting months for the next
book in the series.

436
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:29,360
Don't let me keep you. Go on, get to it.

437
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:41,480
I feel them watching out. You want to
reconvene on my deck and pen?

438
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,500
Yeah, you know what, actually, with
everyone coming in so early, I have a

439
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:46,500
wedding stuff I need to do.

440
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:48,500
So, um, you can just go write.

441
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:49,740
Or I could come with.

442
00:25:50,020 --> 00:25:51,020
I don't, I don't.

443
00:25:51,210 --> 00:25:53,790
I mean, if I'm going to do this, I don't
want to miss out. Okay, fine. Good

444
00:25:53,790 --> 00:25:54,790
deal. Okay.

445
00:25:56,650 --> 00:25:58,770
Maybe we can start by reviewing our
story.

446
00:25:59,310 --> 00:26:02,170
Yeah, it didn't go exactly as planned,
did it? Well, I was caught off guard.

447
00:26:02,510 --> 00:26:03,469
But I'm ready now.

448
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:06,770
I just need to get into character. No,
no character. The simpler, the better.

449
00:26:06,850 --> 00:26:10,230
Let's just stick to the same story, but
maybe with a smoother delivery.

450
00:26:10,630 --> 00:26:11,990
So they're all going to ask questions?

451
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:14,830
Yeah, grilling you is sort of my
family's way of showing their love.

452
00:26:14,830 --> 00:26:17,290
our story needs as much of a romantic
rewrite as my novel.

453
00:26:17,690 --> 00:26:18,690
Bye.

454
00:26:24,590 --> 00:26:25,710
Am I even allowed in here?

455
00:26:25,930 --> 00:26:26,930
Of course.

456
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:28,830
Consider it research.

457
00:26:29,030 --> 00:26:33,770
Oh. Some research is best done online or
maybe even left to the imagination.

458
00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:38,410
I wanted to surprise Sarah with a
special robe she can wear while she's

459
00:26:38,410 --> 00:26:39,950
her hair and makeup done before the
wedding.

460
00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:41,250
That's really sweet.

461
00:26:42,250 --> 00:26:43,250
Oh, hey.

462
00:26:43,570 --> 00:26:45,070
This one has seashells on it.

463
00:26:45,890 --> 00:26:47,790
Taking the beach wedding theme a little
too far.

464
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:49,390
Oh.

465
00:26:51,310 --> 00:26:52,390
Well, you read my pages.

466
00:26:52,910 --> 00:26:53,910
Any questions?

467
00:26:55,649 --> 00:26:57,410
Have you ever read any romance?

468
00:26:57,890 --> 00:26:59,850
Ouch. Is it that bad?

469
00:27:00,250 --> 00:27:02,190
I was just trying to find common ground.

470
00:27:03,010 --> 00:27:05,030
Well, I've read Austen. I like her.

471
00:27:05,490 --> 00:27:08,890
Yes, great. Okay, so if you can just
embrace her romance. Well, I like her

472
00:27:08,890 --> 00:27:13,190
satire. While the rest of you are going
gaga over Pride and Prejudice and Mr.

473
00:27:13,330 --> 00:27:17,190
Darcy, my favorite is Northanger Abbey,
where she satirizes romance literature.

474
00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:21,750
And love does still conquer all. While
making fun of itself all along the way.

475
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:22,750
know, it's genius.

476
00:27:22,930 --> 00:27:23,930
Right.

477
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:33,640
you afraid of love love is great romance
different story but let's agree to

478
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,040
disagree personal preferences aside i'm
here to learn about romance writing from

479
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:44,340
you the acknowledged master oh i'm a
master now well thank you um all right

480
00:27:44,340 --> 00:27:49,660
first thing first conflict well i want
them in love not conflict love isn't the

481
00:27:49,660 --> 00:27:55,660
absence of conflict love helps you deal
with conflict and this lace matches her

482
00:27:55,660 --> 00:27:57,080
dress perfectly Oh.

483
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,820
You know, you really do have an eye for
detail.

484
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Thank you. Excuse me. Do you have this
in small by chance?

485
00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:11,300
So, what's your presentation about?

486
00:28:12,820 --> 00:28:14,540
Still trying to figure that out.

487
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,060
I really want to show them the new kind
of writers I can bring in, but I also

488
00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:21,760
want to show them that new book with the
wow factor.

489
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,800
The only problem is I don't really have
it yet.

490
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:25,180
I used to be that author.

491
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:28,720
At least that's what my first publisher
promised me. And you will be that author

492
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,360
again with a... A romantic rewrite.

493
00:28:32,220 --> 00:28:33,220
Yeah.

494
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,400
That's romantic, hmm?

495
00:28:37,140 --> 00:28:40,000
Saw the story you two just left behind
laundry together already?

496
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,180
Yeah. In a sense, I guess.

497
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,440
Tell me more.

498
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,060
It's a gift for the bride.

499
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,880
Well, did you at least find something to
help with your story?

500
00:28:49,620 --> 00:28:54,420
If that store is what romance fiction is
all about, then I don't think this

501
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:55,399
rewrite's going to work.

502
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,400
Whose dress is this?

503
00:28:57,620 --> 00:28:58,920
Is it all about dress up?

504
00:28:59,860 --> 00:29:02,960
No, of course not. It's about creating
moments that are going to take your

505
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,799
breath away.

506
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,400
Yeah? Like what?

507
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:10,680
Doesn't mom need your help with
something?

508
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,080
Actually,

509
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,960
I do have an idea that I think might
help with the vision a little.

510
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:18,980
Spoonful of sugar?

511
00:29:23,050 --> 00:29:27,110
As far as I can tell, romantic conflict
is usually just a misunderstanding that

512
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:29,090
can be cleared up with a simple
conversation.

513
00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:34,210
Thanks. I don't know. It's not so simple
when it's your heart on the line.

514
00:29:34,530 --> 00:29:38,190
Still, romance is only risk of broken
heart.

515
00:29:38,690 --> 00:29:44,910
Only? Have you never experienced the
dagger of jealousy or that deep open

516
00:29:44,910 --> 00:29:48,390
of regret when you have a missed
opportunity? Are you kidding me right

517
00:29:48,410 --> 00:29:49,570
Being a bit dramatic? Yes!

518
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,440
I'm sorry.

519
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,340
I... No, it's okay.

520
00:30:00,380 --> 00:30:03,200
I'm so sorry. Here, hold this for a
second. Okay. Try not to drop it.

521
00:30:04,220 --> 00:30:05,220
I'm really sorry.

522
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,280
No.

523
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:09,100
You really wanted me to take this lesson
to heart.

524
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,720
A good editor uses all the tools at her
disposal?

525
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,320
Clearly.

526
00:30:13,740 --> 00:30:18,840
I'm sorry. I am. I just... You don't
know the potential your story has and

527
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,560
exciting it is to set... I'll take that.

528
00:30:22,350 --> 00:30:25,010
I try to limit myself to wearing one
snow cone per day.

529
00:30:25,450 --> 00:30:28,330
I appreciate your enthusiasm for my
work.

530
00:30:31,010 --> 00:30:34,470
Conflict. Is it a total wash?

531
00:30:34,770 --> 00:30:35,770
Like your shirt?

532
00:30:36,470 --> 00:30:37,710
No. No, it's not.

533
00:30:38,190 --> 00:30:41,710
Actually, you plant a really great seed
for conflict, but you end it before it

534
00:30:41,710 --> 00:30:43,070
really has a chance to take root.

535
00:30:46,070 --> 00:30:47,370
Let's get another snow cone.

536
00:30:52,270 --> 00:30:53,490
Aw, is this another date?

537
00:30:54,030 --> 00:30:55,810
Uh, this is the two of us on a walk.

538
00:30:56,270 --> 00:30:59,630
Okay, that makes sense because that
stained shirt isn't giving off a very

539
00:30:59,630 --> 00:31:01,130
romantic vibe at all.

540
00:31:01,430 --> 00:31:03,530
Actually, there's been a lot of romance
today.

541
00:31:04,010 --> 00:31:05,010
Practically all day long.

542
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:06,230
Well,

543
00:31:07,970 --> 00:31:09,510
I'm not really seeing that.

544
00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:11,470
Well, it does kind of stop every time
you show up.

545
00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:15,150
Okay, that's a fair point, I guess.

546
00:31:16,490 --> 00:31:17,790
Am I going to see you two at the
barbecue?

547
00:31:18,570 --> 00:31:19,570
Wouldn't miss it. Awesome.

548
00:31:19,810 --> 00:31:20,810
See ya.

549
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,280
You okay?

550
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,060
Yeah, I just really wanted to work on my
presentation tonight, so... Cool. What

551
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:32,500
are you doing? It's a romantic vibe.

552
00:31:32,980 --> 00:31:36,080
Uh, Zach does not dictate what... Zach
is still looking at him.

553
00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:40,660
Really? Now, as much as I hate to admit
that he does have a point, if this is

554
00:31:40,660 --> 00:31:44,880
going to work, just like sending my
character undercover, we need to embrace

555
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,880
cover story.

556
00:31:46,060 --> 00:31:49,140
Are you telling me that a snow cone
-stained shirt is not a romantic vibe?

557
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,360
Well, you're the expert, but I'd say no.
Of course, it will always have

558
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,760
significance. Of course.

559
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,700
You're going to wash that shirt tonight,
right? As soon as I get home.

560
00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,140
All

561
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:07,720
right,

562
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,240
remember, simpler is better.

563
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Got it.

564
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,960
Ready to be grilled?

565
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:15,540
Oh, Andy, that's not a joke, is it?

566
00:32:15,980 --> 00:32:17,680
Oh, come on. Getting grilled at a
barbecue?

567
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,060
Funny. All right. I will be with you the
full time.

568
00:32:21,260 --> 00:32:23,520
We'll be fit together and sticky. Stick
to the story.

569
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:24,880
Got it.

570
00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:26,680
You ready? Let's go.

571
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:29,780
Yay!

572
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:31,020
Hi.

573
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,680
You're so good to see you again.

574
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,460
Glad you could join us. Yeah.

575
00:32:35,060 --> 00:32:37,380
So you must be Ivy's mystery man.

576
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520
I'm Sarah the Bride, and this is Albert,
and we're here today. How you doing,

577
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,419
man?

578
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:43,420
Wait a minute.

579
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,180
You're Reed Pepperd.

580
00:32:45,930 --> 00:32:47,790
You really are a mystery man.

581
00:32:49,330 --> 00:32:50,410
Even the last two.

582
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:53,410
Not your best work, but still better
than a lot of things.

583
00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:55,830
Thank you.

584
00:32:56,750 --> 00:33:00,030
Abby may be the only editor in the
family, but she's not the only reader.

585
00:33:00,370 --> 00:33:02,670
Oh. You should meet Aunt Edith.

586
00:33:02,910 --> 00:33:03,910
You know, I'll introduce you.

587
00:33:04,490 --> 00:33:06,530
Actually, honey, I could use your help.

588
00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:10,550
Don't worry, I'll take good care of
Reed.

589
00:33:15,950 --> 00:33:19,410
I'm going to move some things around.
Can you really go check on Reed? He's

590
00:33:19,410 --> 00:33:20,410
fine.

591
00:33:22,610 --> 00:33:27,510
And why is this the first I'm hearing
about this? And don't say it's new.

592
00:33:29,030 --> 00:33:33,050
Aunt Edith, look who I have for you.
It's Reed Shepard.

593
00:33:33,290 --> 00:33:34,350
Nice to meet you.

594
00:33:34,670 --> 00:33:35,670
The author.

595
00:33:36,170 --> 00:33:37,170
Your favorite.

596
00:33:37,530 --> 00:33:38,530
Yes, dear.

597
00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:39,910
Nice to meet you.

598
00:33:40,210 --> 00:33:41,810
And also Ivy's date to the wedding.

599
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,980
Oh, Cindy, it is nice to meet you.

600
00:33:45,180 --> 00:33:46,260
Have a seat by me.

601
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,760
Okay.

602
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:51,380
I'm sorry, I just, I guess I've been so
focused on getting my promotion that I

603
00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:55,240
sort of put... Read whatever this is on
the back burner.

604
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Oh, how did you two meet?

605
00:33:57,500 --> 00:33:58,500
Hmm?

606
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,240
How did you two meet?

607
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:02,240
Uh, we met at Triple H.

608
00:34:03,660 --> 00:34:04,660
The publisher.

609
00:34:06,300 --> 00:34:07,480
Where Ivy works.

610
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:10,179
I know where she works, dear.

611
00:34:12,530 --> 00:34:13,530
That's all you got?

612
00:34:14,370 --> 00:34:17,510
You're a better storyteller than that.
Tell us more.

613
00:34:17,969 --> 00:34:19,010
Could you go grab the beans?

614
00:34:20,050 --> 00:34:21,969
Yeah, tell us about your first date.

615
00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:25,989
Our first date? Can I be of service
here? No.

616
00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:27,830
And make it good.

617
00:34:28,870 --> 00:34:30,650
Probably, yeah. Thank you.

618
00:34:32,969 --> 00:34:38,610
It was, um... Dinner.

619
00:34:40,350 --> 00:34:46,460
Cliche. I know, but we started off at a
bookstore that I thought she might like.

620
00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:49,219
It specializes in rare and antique
books.

621
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,980
Did you bring her flowers?

622
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,280
Of course.

623
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,220
In a manner of speaking, I gave her an
antique book about gardening.

624
00:34:58,860 --> 00:34:59,860
Good toy.

625
00:35:00,700 --> 00:35:04,840
The restaurant was next door, full of
the same quaint antique charm.

626
00:35:05,060 --> 00:35:06,700
Food was top -notch.

627
00:35:07,180 --> 00:35:10,600
Although I've been hearing about these
lobster rows down here for a week. Have

628
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,140
you tried one yet? I came close, but it
somehow got away from me.

629
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:15,920
We all love them.

630
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,320
Yeah, I can't wait to try them. Okay,
forget about the lobster roll. Tell us

631
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,320
more about the date.

632
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:25,340
Can we share dessert?

633
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,620
I ordered Ivy a big slice of coconut
cake.

634
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,460
Coconut cake? Yeah, the coconut cake
there is amazing.

635
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:35,540
Ivy's allergic to coconut, so... Which
is why I sent it back, and then we

636
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:37,120
ordered the tiramisu. Equally amazing.

637
00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:40,650
Um... Can I borrow Reed for just a
minute?

638
00:35:41,530 --> 00:35:43,650
He's just getting to the good part.

639
00:35:44,070 --> 00:35:45,150
Ah, the good part.

640
00:35:45,410 --> 00:35:46,410
The end.

641
00:35:46,650 --> 00:35:51,690
All kinds of things can happen, but the
ending tells you what they mean.

642
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:57,690
Well, considering he's here with us, I
think it went really well.

643
00:35:57,950 --> 00:35:59,870
I better go help Ivy.

644
00:36:04,090 --> 00:36:07,310
Why didn't you stick to the story?

645
00:36:08,979 --> 00:36:09,979
Aunt Edith?

646
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,400
Need I say more?

647
00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:14,820
She asked about our first date. We
haven't been on a first date. Well,

648
00:36:14,820 --> 00:36:17,620
should fill you in. But first, why
didn't you tell me you were allergic to

649
00:36:17,620 --> 00:36:18,880
coconuts? Why would I tell you that?

650
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,400
I would have thought peanuts. It's a
much more common allergy.

651
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:24,820
You know I love peanut butter. Okay, any
other allergies I need to know about?

652
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,560
Or do I need to go through every known
nut or nearly a nut?

653
00:36:27,780 --> 00:36:32,040
No, no other allergies. Okay, I'm sorry.
You should have cared more. I'm sorry.

654
00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:36,080
I should have stuck with the script.
But, on the bright side, judging from

655
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,670
interest... I think I'm improving at
this romance writing.

656
00:36:40,930 --> 00:36:43,630
Out of curiosity, what was our first
date?

657
00:36:44,470 --> 00:36:45,550
We went to O 'Reilly.

658
00:36:45,890 --> 00:36:47,490
I've always wanted to go there.

659
00:36:48,030 --> 00:36:50,530
Then we went to Giancarlo's. You had the
shrimp skin.

660
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:51,709
I'm sure I loved it.

661
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:52,710
What's it to die for?

662
00:36:54,130 --> 00:36:55,890
Well, it sounds like a really good first
date.

663
00:36:57,050 --> 00:37:01,010
And, while one date is not a romance
make, you did develop a strong

664
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:03,750
for your characters, shall we say?

665
00:37:04,170 --> 00:37:05,790
A love for old books? And shrimp
skipping.

666
00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:10,030
I'll have you dinner at a Giancarlo's.
Oh, honey, you owe me two dinners and

667
00:37:10,030 --> 00:37:11,030
trip to a roller.

668
00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:12,430
Done.

669
00:37:15,590 --> 00:37:16,590
Back out?

670
00:37:16,690 --> 00:37:17,690
Let's go.

671
00:37:19,050 --> 00:37:20,050
Okay.

672
00:37:21,910 --> 00:37:22,910
Hey,

673
00:37:27,710 --> 00:37:29,570
reading the rest of my pages?

674
00:37:30,150 --> 00:37:33,410
Uh, no. I thought you want some more
time to work on them.

675
00:37:33,810 --> 00:37:35,490
Oh, is that what you're doing?

676
00:37:35,690 --> 00:37:37,440
Work? Yes, actually.

677
00:37:38,700 --> 00:37:41,400
My presentation is going great. Thank
you so much for asking.

678
00:37:42,020 --> 00:37:43,020
Is it really?

679
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Progressing is probably more accurate.

680
00:37:45,860 --> 00:37:47,320
Yeah, I know that feeling.

681
00:37:48,180 --> 00:37:49,180
Well, keep at it.

682
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,860
I may not like how it applies to my
book, but you know your stuff.

683
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,600
Yeah?

684
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,860
Did it hurt admitting that?

685
00:37:58,100 --> 00:37:59,580
A little bit, yeah.

686
00:38:00,140 --> 00:38:01,160
Well, thank you.

687
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:04,860
Now, are you jogging to jog or jogging
to not write?

688
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,440
You don't pull your punches. I know too
many writers.

689
00:38:08,740 --> 00:38:09,740
We're stuck.

690
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,280
Oh, hey.

691
00:38:12,780 --> 00:38:13,800
Did we miss an event?

692
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,780
Alberto's going to teach us how to play
bocce ball.

693
00:38:17,020 --> 00:38:18,020
You want to play?

694
00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:22,560
No. One form of procrastination isn't as
good as another. I have so much work to

695
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,560
do.

696
00:38:24,180 --> 00:38:25,180
We're in.

697
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,920
Come on, bocce ball.

698
00:38:28,180 --> 00:38:30,120
Bocce ball. Hey, bocce ball. Come on,
come on.

699
00:38:33,500 --> 00:38:34,500
She makes it spicy.

700
00:38:34,620 --> 00:38:35,459
She makes it spicy.

701
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:36,460
Listen, no. Okay.

702
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,640
Okay, wait. Hey.

703
00:38:38,900 --> 00:38:41,840
What? If I don't like my throw, I don't
get to redo it?

704
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:44,080
Well, those aren't the traditional
rules.

705
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:47,040
Okay, and when you wanted to wear
something more comfortable for the

706
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,680
other than a tuxedo, did I hold you to
the traditional rules?

707
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,620
In that case, maybe a little further out
there. Thank you, my love.

708
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,860
See how romance works? Mm -hmm.

709
00:39:01,140 --> 00:39:02,140
Perfect.

710
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,300
All right, Ivy.

711
00:39:04,540 --> 00:39:05,880
Ivy. Ivy.

712
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:07,660
You got this.

713
00:39:32,110 --> 00:39:32,928
Oh, my gosh.

714
00:39:32,930 --> 00:39:33,930
Hey,

715
00:39:34,710 --> 00:39:36,270
you cheated. I just saw you.

716
00:39:37,170 --> 00:39:38,570
You did not.

717
00:39:39,810 --> 00:39:43,650
Notice how he doesn't deny cheating just
that you saw it. Okay, yeah, I saw you

718
00:39:43,650 --> 00:39:44,870
kick this thing.

719
00:39:45,330 --> 00:39:48,990
Yeah, that thing. And now your ball is
closer. Actually, that's not my ball. My

720
00:39:48,990 --> 00:39:51,470
ball is way over there. Oh, it was Ivy's
ball.

721
00:39:52,290 --> 00:39:53,290
Me?

722
00:39:54,750 --> 00:39:56,910
All right. Come on. Come on. Oh,

723
00:39:59,710 --> 00:40:01,490
my gosh. Would you look at that?

724
00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:03,730
Of course.

725
00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:09,810
Hey! She just rearranged everything
while we were... Well,

726
00:40:10,890 --> 00:40:14,090
I think that I like playing bocce ball.
Well, I don't know if we played bocce

727
00:40:14,090 --> 00:40:15,170
ball, but this game was fun.

728
00:40:15,930 --> 00:40:16,930
That's enough for us.

729
00:40:18,350 --> 00:40:22,790
Oh, my God. You're so... So wealthy.

730
00:40:24,370 --> 00:40:31,270
I don't know if I can get back to work.
I feel like my flow has dried to

731
00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:32,940
a teeny, teeny... Well,

732
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,900
you really seem to flow in my
manuscript, you eviscerator. You're

733
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:37,900
bothered.

734
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,400
Look, you are!

735
00:40:39,820 --> 00:40:40,820
Well, yeah.

736
00:40:41,180 --> 00:40:44,180
I mean, I'm still trying to wrap my head
around everything, but you seem to

737
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:48,700
think everything comes so easy. Easy?
You create worlds, cultures, people,

738
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,560
stories. I mean, there are a thousand
decisions to make on each page. You

739
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:53,560
that's easy?

740
00:40:54,460 --> 00:40:55,460
Maybe you do get it.

741
00:40:55,780 --> 00:41:00,600
I recognize the magic, both when it's
working and when it's not. But you, I

742
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,480
mean... You create from a blank page.

743
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:04,980
I respect that.

744
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,380
I do.

745
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,760
But in either direction, we're both
going to have days where it's not

746
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,060
So you're not being overcritical because
I'm not a romance writer?

747
00:41:14,380 --> 00:41:16,620
If you knew me better, you'd know better
than me.

748
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:21,500
So let's get to know each other.

749
00:41:22,260 --> 00:41:24,160
What's your favorite thing to do when
you come to the beach?

750
00:41:25,140 --> 00:41:27,320
In that case, we're doing it.

751
00:41:28,420 --> 00:41:31,160
Being on the beach is my favorite thing
to do. What's your favorite?

752
00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:38,730
All right.

753
00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:40,050
Okay,

754
00:41:40,490 --> 00:41:43,170
I haven't been on roller skates since I
was in high school.

755
00:41:43,450 --> 00:41:44,610
I can tell.

756
00:41:46,490 --> 00:41:49,570
My sister's kids have been in education.
They love skating.

757
00:41:49,890 --> 00:41:51,510
Oh, yeah? Are you talking to your
family? Yeah.

758
00:41:52,330 --> 00:41:56,870
My dad died a couple years ago, but me
and my mom, sister, we talk nearly every

759
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:59,390
day. They agreed with your notes, by the
way.

760
00:41:59,690 --> 00:42:00,850
Yeah? Good?

761
00:42:01,050 --> 00:42:03,490
Yeah. Well, I got you. I got you. I got
you.

762
00:42:03,970 --> 00:42:05,650
Thank you.

763
00:42:06,850 --> 00:42:07,850
Yeah, yeah.

764
00:42:08,010 --> 00:42:11,030
Let's go back to that part about them
agreeing with my note. Okay. Keep your

765
00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:11,689
knees soft.

766
00:42:11,690 --> 00:42:13,470
There you go. One leg. Then the other.

767
00:42:13,730 --> 00:42:14,730
You got it.

768
00:42:14,970 --> 00:42:15,970
Yay!

769
00:42:16,450 --> 00:42:17,450
Look at you.

770
00:42:17,710 --> 00:42:18,710
Yes.

771
00:42:19,210 --> 00:42:20,210
Yes.

772
00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:25,310
Are you being overly critical because I
lack experience? No.

773
00:42:25,530 --> 00:42:27,290
But you're doing great. That's why I
gave you the note.

774
00:42:27,890 --> 00:42:29,630
Well, the same goes for romance writing.

775
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,280
Okay. I hear you.

776
00:42:33,340 --> 00:42:35,480
I'm trying to take your advice to heart.

777
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Pun intended?

778
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,120
Fully.

779
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,700
So teach me more about romance.

780
00:42:42,580 --> 00:42:48,260
Writing. I think you need to write some
romance writing.

781
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:54,880
Okay. Here we go again. Look, I know all
the procrastination techniques, but if

782
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:59,400
you do good work today, there will be
ice cream.

783
00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:03,140
Oh,

784
00:43:03,860 --> 00:43:05,280
yeah, the ice cream social.

785
00:43:06,380 --> 00:43:07,380
All right.

786
00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:10,020
No, please don't make me keep doing
that. Oh, come on.

787
00:43:11,420 --> 00:43:12,420
It's fun, right?

788
00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:17,959
It's beautiful.

789
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,799
I know, right?

790
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,240
So how does this work? Do we wait for
everything to be done to serve?

791
00:43:22,740 --> 00:43:25,240
If you grab a spoon and a bowl and you
be prepared.

792
00:43:25,660 --> 00:43:27,020
Hey, Anita, we'll get you one.

793
00:43:28,330 --> 00:43:29,710
Fresh patch of chocolate.

794
00:43:30,650 --> 00:43:31,690
Right here, honey.

795
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:34,530
Brownie point.

796
00:43:35,870 --> 00:43:37,910
First. Oh, you're always first.

797
00:43:40,210 --> 00:43:42,250
Hey, one bowl per customer.

798
00:43:43,270 --> 00:43:45,510
Now, Zach, Reed is new.

799
00:43:45,890 --> 00:43:46,868
That's right.

800
00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:47,870
It's for Anita.

801
00:43:48,210 --> 00:43:49,510
Don't forget to sprinkle.

802
00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:51,550
All right, people.

803
00:43:52,170 --> 00:43:54,190
Well, we have a piece of strawberry.

804
00:44:13,950 --> 00:44:14,950
Okay, everyone,

805
00:44:15,610 --> 00:44:19,970
it's time to work off all that ice
cream. So let's line up and get some

806
00:44:19,970 --> 00:44:21,770
going. And no cheating again.

807
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:25,700
All right, let's let the games begin.

808
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:28,900
Oh, okay.

809
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:31,680
Oh, boy.

810
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:33,760
Let's go,

811
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:35,520
let's go, let's go.

812
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,320
Everybody ready?

813
00:44:37,980 --> 00:44:40,820
Yep, yep. You know the rules, right?
Yep.

814
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,240
Okay, here we go.

815
00:44:43,460 --> 00:44:44,460
Get right there.

816
00:44:45,020 --> 00:44:46,180
Hold on.

817
00:44:46,380 --> 00:44:47,380
All right, all right.

818
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:48,920
Go.

819
00:44:53,740 --> 00:44:57,400
Will the puristic shine alive?

820
00:44:57,720 --> 00:45:00,220
Will the darkness fade?

821
00:45:52,810 --> 00:45:54,010
One, two.

822
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:35,200
We can't stop looking at each other.
We're going to lose the rest of you.

823
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:37,580
I like it, but focus.

824
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:39,640
Go!

825
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:41,400
Go! Go!

826
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:47,520
Go!

827
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,280
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

828
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,160
Go!

829
00:47:02,380 --> 00:47:04,160
We won. Why does no one care that we
won?

830
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:07,100
Your family is awesome.

831
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,600
But I got to ask, what is up with Zach?

832
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,060
Ah, is he always so overly competitive?

833
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:14,960
Yes. Yes, he is.

834
00:47:15,540 --> 00:47:18,600
But my family is like that. You know
that. Yeah, but they're different.

835
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,120
They're teasing.

836
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,240
They're playing.

837
00:47:21,740 --> 00:47:22,800
He's not.

838
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,360
Yeah, he's in it to win it. And he's
told me 4 ,000 times.

839
00:47:25,660 --> 00:47:26,660
And you dated him.

840
00:47:27,460 --> 00:47:28,460
Why?

841
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,320
If only for the purposes of my education
and romance.

842
00:47:31,740 --> 00:47:33,240
Please tell me what you ever saw in him.

843
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:38,820
I don't know. We work in the same field,
all right, close enough. And, look, I

844
00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:42,840
know he's annoying, but he really, he
knows his stuff, and not just on the

845
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,620
business and the legal side, but, like,
the art part.

846
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,080
And he loves literature. I mean, he
reads almost as much as I do. I don't

847
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,200
believe that for a second.

848
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:55,720
Fair, fair. But he does read a lot, you
know, and we share friends in common,

849
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,920
and we both really push ourselves in on
his ears.

850
00:47:58,820 --> 00:48:00,720
Maybe, but not in the same way.

851
00:48:03,180 --> 00:48:04,260
I saw him helping out.

852
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,420
Yeah, yeah, my family loves him.

853
00:48:07,180 --> 00:48:10,360
Well, if grilling you is how your family
shows love, well, then he definitely

854
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:11,118
loved me.

855
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,360
Making that last bucket of vanilla with
your dad? You didn't warn me about his

856
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:15,360
interrogation skills.

857
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,460
Sorry, I think it only comes out on
special occasions.

858
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:18,960
Yeah, when you're dating his daughter?

859
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Anything I should know?

860
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,160
And he mostly asked about me, not us. So
I stuck with the truth.

861
00:48:26,260 --> 00:48:27,340
You want me to fill you in?

862
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,800
You didn't ask any questions about the
breakup with Zach?

863
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:32,720
Just me.

864
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,020
Good, then the overall plan is working.

865
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,440
Um, fill me in.

866
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,080
Okay. I guess I'll start where your dad
did.

867
00:48:41,540 --> 00:48:42,540
Where'd you go to school?

868
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:43,620
No company.

869
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:44,419
No way.

870
00:48:44,420 --> 00:48:45,460
I went to Whittendale.

871
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:46,960
No. Yes.

872
00:48:47,060 --> 00:48:50,320
No, okay, is that true or is that
another piece of fiction? Go check my

873
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:51,340
told you I stuck with the truth.

874
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,240
Oh, the cinnamon donut place. By the
orchard. Yeah. They're the best.

875
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,600
Almost as good as the shrimp scampi at
Giancarlo's. I would know that.

876
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,680
I'll be sure not to order you the
coconut cake.

877
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:14,799
What is it?

878
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:15,800
Do you want to see it?

879
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,200
I don't know what it is, but yeah.

880
00:49:18,260 --> 00:49:19,380
Oh, is this for your presentation?

881
00:49:20,460 --> 00:49:24,400
Yeah, I'm trying to find some new books.
I need more, but in the meantime, the

882
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,900
majority of book sales are online, so I
think we should be embracing book

883
00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:29,160
trailers. Hmm.

884
00:49:34,700 --> 00:49:35,700
No ending.

885
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,340
Well, let's make you want to read the
book.

886
00:49:38,220 --> 00:49:39,220
Mission accomplished.

887
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,640
Yeah? That's really... Wait, in fact...

888
00:49:44,810 --> 00:49:45,810
God, that gives me an idea.

889
00:49:46,290 --> 00:49:48,010
My hero's heart is in danger.

890
00:49:48,350 --> 00:49:49,169
I gotta go.

891
00:49:49,170 --> 00:49:50,210
I just have to write this down.

892
00:50:02,010 --> 00:50:04,530
Hey, you left me in suspense last night
and I'm dying to hear how the writing

893
00:50:04,530 --> 00:50:06,830
went. This smells incredible.

894
00:50:07,170 --> 00:50:08,390
Wow. Give that a try.

895
00:50:11,410 --> 00:50:12,410
Unbelievable.

896
00:50:13,730 --> 00:50:14,459
Oh, wait.

897
00:50:14,460 --> 00:50:17,700
Don't leave me hanging. Okay. How'd the
writing go? So, I made a book trailer.

898
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:19,500
Or at least a plan for one.

899
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:21,080
I don't follow. Okay.

900
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,540
So, I was thinking to myself, what parts
of the story would make trailer moments

901
00:50:25,540 --> 00:50:26,540
to engage an audience?

902
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,380
So, it's like an outline, but with a
whole new perspective.

903
00:50:29,780 --> 00:50:33,460
That's awesome, and it helps. Yes,
because I finally realized how to put my

904
00:50:33,460 --> 00:50:34,480
detective's heart in danger.

905
00:50:34,740 --> 00:50:37,360
I have to put his woman's life in
danger.

906
00:50:37,620 --> 00:50:40,740
So, instead of saving his own life, he
has to save hers.

907
00:50:41,260 --> 00:50:43,340
But, of course, you already knew that.

908
00:50:43,870 --> 00:50:47,830
I can't wait to read it. But in the
meantime... Yeah?

909
00:50:48,050 --> 00:50:49,490
Come here. I got something for you.

910
00:50:53,310 --> 00:50:55,730
First pancakes, now grilled pineapple?

911
00:50:55,970 --> 00:50:56,970
How do you find the time?

912
00:50:57,310 --> 00:51:01,370
Well, in the city I eat a lot of
takeout, but my dad always taught me

913
00:51:01,370 --> 00:51:05,330
possible, it's important to do the
little things to care for yourself and

914
00:51:05,330 --> 00:51:06,330
people in your life.

915
00:51:06,570 --> 00:51:07,570
That's sweet.

916
00:51:09,170 --> 00:51:10,670
My mom was a schoolteacher.

917
00:51:11,210 --> 00:51:13,090
She had to work these hours that,
well...

918
00:51:13,820 --> 00:51:17,740
Most writers never see. My dad didn't
have to, but he got up every morning,

919
00:51:17,900 --> 00:51:18,900
packed her a lunch.

920
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:20,920
That's romance.

921
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:22,600
You say so.

922
00:51:25,260 --> 00:51:27,440
Why do I have the feeling I'm about to
get steward?

923
00:51:28,380 --> 00:51:29,720
You have a romantic heart.

924
00:51:31,900 --> 00:51:34,000
Okay, fine, you have a loving heart.

925
00:51:35,540 --> 00:51:36,379
It's better.

926
00:51:36,380 --> 00:51:38,260
It's a distinction without a difference.
Not to me.

927
00:51:38,700 --> 00:51:42,220
Okay, what is it? Explain this to me.
What do you have against romance

928
00:51:43,310 --> 00:51:44,310
Okay, here's the deal.

929
00:51:45,170 --> 00:51:46,510
Romance is inherently flawed.

930
00:51:46,830 --> 00:51:50,110
The character's hiding in the
candlelight instead of the clear light

931
00:51:50,770 --> 00:51:52,810
Candlelight doesn't hide anything. It
creates intensity.

932
00:51:53,130 --> 00:51:57,310
It's people, characters, trying too hard
to impress, only showing the highlight

933
00:51:57,310 --> 00:51:59,030
real moments and not the real -life
routine.

934
00:51:59,310 --> 00:52:01,530
Unless you make it routine like your dad
did.

935
00:52:01,890 --> 00:52:06,890
I don't want my characters to be
unflawed and glorified. Romance

936
00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:10,750
flawed! Oh, come on! They seem perfect
all the time, or at least the best at

937
00:52:10,750 --> 00:52:11,750
whatever it is they do.

938
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,140
Romance is not about the best, okay?

939
00:52:14,700 --> 00:52:17,640
Romance is about... Hey,

940
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:23,440
Shepard.

941
00:52:25,860 --> 00:52:26,860
Up for a game?

942
00:52:27,220 --> 00:52:28,220
We could use the fourth.

943
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:29,560
Just for fun.

944
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:31,360
Hey. Hey.

945
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:34,440
Oh,

946
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,540
shirts are coming off. I told you we'd
have a good view here.

947
00:52:52,940 --> 00:52:55,980
Oh, I see Zach's supposed to make
everything super competitive.

948
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,840
He is showing off.

949
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,960
Clearly trying to win Ivy back.

950
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:06,240
He's so jealous.

951
00:53:06,420 --> 00:53:08,040
He's too smart to give him a chance.

952
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,800
Not next to that person, Maria Sunshine.

953
00:53:35,499 --> 00:53:36,419
So romantic.

954
00:53:36,420 --> 00:53:38,240
I mean, he has to put in one of his
books.

955
00:53:39,220 --> 00:53:40,220
Oh, my God.

956
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,040
Sure.

957
00:53:49,720 --> 00:53:50,720
That's us.

958
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:53,020
That's us, ladies.

959
00:53:53,220 --> 00:53:55,680
All right, well, you don't try to hurt
yourself, boys.

960
00:53:56,780 --> 00:53:57,780
You're leaving already?

961
00:53:57,940 --> 00:53:58,940
I'm just getting warmed up.

962
00:53:59,740 --> 00:54:02,480
Maybe he's right. We should stay after
all that big weekend.

963
00:54:03,220 --> 00:54:04,560
Love you, honey.

964
00:54:04,940 --> 00:54:05,940
Then all about you.

965
00:54:06,940 --> 00:54:09,280
I think they're going to a secret
bachelorette party.

966
00:54:10,340 --> 00:54:11,980
It's not a secret if we admit to it.

967
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,020
I can't see you to drink my mimosa.

968
00:54:23,140 --> 00:54:25,920
Thank you. Right, Amberine, it's such
hard work.

969
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,440
Best bachelorette party ever.

970
00:54:28,820 --> 00:54:29,820
Right here.

971
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,040
So how serious is this thing with you
and Reed?

972
00:54:36,060 --> 00:54:38,360
Well, we're still getting to know each
other.

973
00:54:38,820 --> 00:54:42,440
Oh, no, you don't. I want details, and
don't leave anything out.

974
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:48,200
I mean, he's definitely different than I
expected, and... Yeah, okay, I kind of

975
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:48,939
like that.

976
00:54:48,940 --> 00:54:50,800
Plus, he's such a good writer.

977
00:54:51,580 --> 00:54:52,720
A good writer?

978
00:54:54,070 --> 00:54:55,070
Wait, yeah.

979
00:54:55,190 --> 00:54:59,410
Actually, I see why that's an important
quality to you. So, is your bouquet only

980
00:54:59,410 --> 00:55:02,910
daisies, or did you decide to add some
roses? Oh, come on!

981
00:55:03,190 --> 00:55:05,650
Seriously, no, we're talking about you
right now.

982
00:55:05,950 --> 00:55:10,970
I mean, what's it like? I mean, having
two men compete over you? No one is

983
00:55:10,970 --> 00:55:15,210
competing. Tell her, Clarissa. Yeah,
tell her, Clarissa, okay? That's not

984
00:55:15,210 --> 00:55:17,030
me. It's just Zach's nature.

985
00:55:17,490 --> 00:55:22,990
And he did bring a wedding date? Yes,
yes, exactly. He brought a wedding date.

986
00:55:23,940 --> 00:55:24,940
Where is she?

987
00:55:25,780 --> 00:55:27,340
I invited her, but she had work.

988
00:55:28,060 --> 00:55:30,120
I don't think they're that serious about
each other.

989
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,160
Not like you and Reed. We're not
serious.

990
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,080
Save your denials. The chemistry between
you two is palpable.

991
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,760
Okay, seriously, I can feel you looking
at me right now. A little help, please?

992
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:45,040
Can't help. She's right.

993
00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:51,080
Thank you for both supporting me in this
time. I'm going away now. Good night.

994
00:55:51,260 --> 00:55:52,280
Good night. Good night.

995
00:55:52,940 --> 00:55:53,940
Sweet dreams agree.

996
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,640
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

997
00:56:01,820 --> 00:56:04,600
Okay, teasing aside, you know I'm here
for you.

998
00:56:04,820 --> 00:56:06,520
Yeah, of course. I'm back at you.

999
00:56:06,820 --> 00:56:10,080
Okay, so why does it feel like there's
something you're not telling me? I don't

1000
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,860
know. Okay, what really happened with
you and Zach?

1001
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,300
I mean, look, I'm just tired.

1002
00:56:14,820 --> 00:56:17,240
Really. And I don't want to miss a
second of the fun.

1003
00:56:18,350 --> 00:56:22,590
But I have been spending every other
moment working on this presentation, and

1004
00:56:22,590 --> 00:56:24,750
be honest, it's not going very well.

1005
00:56:25,270 --> 00:56:27,030
Well, Clarissa told me about the
promotion.

1006
00:56:28,150 --> 00:56:30,030
Okay, I know, I know, the presentation.

1007
00:56:30,530 --> 00:56:34,470
But you know you're a shoo -in. I have
very, very steep competition.

1008
00:56:35,010 --> 00:56:38,310
And I just want to show them that I can
not only nurture the writers that we

1009
00:56:38,310 --> 00:56:40,930
have, but that I can also find great new
ones.

1010
00:56:41,490 --> 00:56:44,410
Oh, and that's why you've been reading
more than normal.

1011
00:56:44,790 --> 00:56:45,790
You notice?

1012
00:56:45,900 --> 00:56:48,080
Yeah, I saw you take a manuscript to the
bathroom.

1013
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,100
Yeah, guilty, guilty.

1014
00:56:50,940 --> 00:56:51,940
It's okay.

1015
00:56:52,580 --> 00:56:54,920
Well, any luck? Any new bestsellers?

1016
00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:56,240
Mid -list at best.

1017
00:56:56,980 --> 00:56:58,280
I'm going to figure it out, okay?

1018
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,000
Too bad Reed isn't a romance writer.

1019
00:57:01,260 --> 00:57:02,460
I mean, I know you like his writing.

1020
00:57:04,100 --> 00:57:05,100
Yeah, I do.

1021
00:57:16,780 --> 00:57:17,780
Hey, sis.

1022
00:57:17,940 --> 00:57:19,160
You sound disappointed.

1023
00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:21,220
Are you expecting someone else?

1024
00:57:22,140 --> 00:57:25,680
No, no, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to
work, but I keep getting distracted.

1025
00:57:26,220 --> 00:57:27,320
Make some rosemary tea.

1026
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Well, I have.

1027
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,280
Wow, must be something pretty big
pulling your focus if rosemary tea's not

1028
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:37,280
helping.

1029
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,120
Wouldn't have anything to do with Ivy,
would it?

1030
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,720
Well, she certainly is.

1031
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,100
opinionated and spirited.

1032
00:57:47,180 --> 00:57:48,540
Opinionated and spirited?

1033
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:50,540
Well, I thought you two were working
well together.

1034
00:57:51,580 --> 00:57:53,120
Did I mention she's stubborn?

1035
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,440
And right?

1036
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:56,120
Yes.

1037
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,400
We've been weaving the romance in
through the mystery, and even I gotta

1038
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:01,400
getting stronger.

1039
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:03,140
Okay, so what's the problem?

1040
00:58:04,300 --> 00:58:10,320
Well, I'm at the point now where the
hero realizes that he's found the one

1041
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,180
person who fills his heart with joy, but
he's...

1042
00:58:14,779 --> 00:58:16,120
You scared to admit how he feels?

1043
00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:19,460
Well,

1044
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,780
he has a case to solve.

1045
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:23,700
And this complicates things.

1046
00:58:24,420 --> 00:58:25,620
There's a lot of moving parts.

1047
00:58:26,580 --> 00:58:28,340
Oh, so you have had a course in romance.

1048
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:30,540
You should talk to Ivy.

1049
00:58:31,180 --> 00:58:33,420
See if she can, you know, help you.

1050
00:58:33,980 --> 00:58:35,060
Find your focus again.

1051
00:58:36,380 --> 00:58:37,380
You know what?

1052
00:58:37,660 --> 00:58:38,660
I think I will.

1053
00:58:39,620 --> 00:58:40,620
Thanks, Seth.

1054
00:58:41,500 --> 00:58:42,500
Of course.

1055
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:49,560
Bye. Hey.

1056
00:58:50,020 --> 00:58:51,020
How's it going?

1057
00:58:51,460 --> 00:58:54,660
I feel like I'm tricking everyone into
thinking there's more romance on there.

1058
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,740
You're being very circumspect.

1059
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,400
It's our family. Everybody's just
naturally curious.

1060
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,640
And they're embracing Reed just like
they embrace that.

1061
00:59:03,420 --> 00:59:04,420
Don't worry about it.

1062
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,500
Yeah, but when the breakup comes,
they're all going to be so disappointed.

1063
00:59:07,980 --> 00:59:09,300
Nobody's going to be disappointed.

1064
00:59:10,380 --> 00:59:12,680
I just wanted a wedding date. I didn't
want to hurt anyone.

1065
00:59:13,260 --> 00:59:17,060
You won't. Look, everybody just loves
your boyfriends because they love you.

1066
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:23,960
But could it be that you might actually
be interested in reading as an author?

1067
00:59:24,420 --> 00:59:28,960
Oh, thank you. I can't help but wonder
if because of your experiences back, you

1068
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,000
know, maybe you're afraid of romance.
Well, if that is true, then I'm probably

1069
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,000
in the wrong profession.

1070
00:59:34,540 --> 00:59:37,180
Or you stick to romance and books
because it's safe there.

1071
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:42,540
Ooh, that one. I can understand not
wanting to be hurt again.

1072
00:59:43,900 --> 00:59:46,780
But I can also understand wanting to try
again.

1073
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,200
I'm just saying there's no judgment
here.

1074
00:59:49,820 --> 00:59:50,820
With Zach?

1075
00:59:50,860 --> 00:59:54,240
No, no, no, no, no, no. That ship has
sailed. That ship has sailed, truly.

1076
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:59,100
I mean, yes, at first it was tough, but
being around him now, I mean,

1077
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:05,520
it's hard, but not from lingering
feelings. It just reminds me of what it

1078
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,060
like when love totally blindsides you.

1079
01:00:09,260 --> 01:00:12,960
Don't forget that love can sometimes
blindside us in a good way, too.

1080
01:00:13,470 --> 01:00:17,570
I mean, I worked in the same building
with David for, what, three years? He

1081
01:00:17,570 --> 01:00:20,950
that door for me nearly every day and
then nothing.

1082
01:00:22,290 --> 01:00:24,690
And then all of a sudden, one day, I was
like, oh.

1083
01:00:25,730 --> 01:00:27,370
You know, like I'd never seen him
before.

1084
01:00:28,250 --> 01:00:31,590
That's because his secretary spilled
coffee all over his shirt and you were

1085
01:00:31,590 --> 01:00:33,010
surprised by his ass.

1086
01:00:34,010 --> 01:00:35,330
Okay, well, they didn't hurt.

1087
01:00:36,570 --> 01:00:40,730
But no, I mean, it was how he reacted
with so much kindness.

1088
01:00:42,259 --> 01:00:46,800
And then I realized you've been holding
the door for me every day, and I wanted

1089
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,040
that kind of kindness in my life.

1090
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:50,320
Okay.

1091
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:52,520
It's a side of that.

1092
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,600
And I want the same for you. I do love
an HEA.

1093
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,140
Well, happily ever after is happening in
real life, too.

1094
01:00:59,940 --> 01:01:02,620
If you're not happy, then it's not the
end, baby sister.

1095
01:01:07,180 --> 01:01:09,460
Yeah. No, it's going to be a no.

1096
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:10,680
It looks bad.

1097
01:01:10,780 --> 01:01:12,640
Yeah. I mean, honestly.

1098
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:14,320
Crazy, right?

1099
01:01:14,620 --> 01:01:16,040
Hey. Hey.

1100
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,520
Where's Reed?

1101
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:18,860
He told us he had to work.

1102
01:01:20,300 --> 01:01:22,760
Do you know what he's working on, by
chance?

1103
01:01:23,260 --> 01:01:24,980
He also said to call if needed.

1104
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:27,080
He's manning the pile yet with the
debts.

1105
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,680
Okay, we came here to crash this, like,
raging bachelorette shindig.

1106
01:01:31,900 --> 01:01:33,000
Where's the party?

1107
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,060
Well, you missed a pretty good time.

1108
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,720
I guess we're going to have to just
bring it back.

1109
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:41,120
Us two right now, I'll pop the top off.

1110
01:01:41,580 --> 01:01:43,520
No one wants to see that deer.

1111
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,480
Oh, my gosh.

1112
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:50,920
Brutal.

1113
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,300
Ouch. Yeah.

1114
01:01:54,420 --> 01:01:55,440
Hey, can I walk with you?

1115
01:01:56,740 --> 01:01:57,740
Sure, what's up?

1116
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:02,640
I was just... How are you? I feel like
we haven't had a chance to talk in a

1117
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,080
time. You okay?

1118
01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:05,820
Yeah, I'm okay.

1119
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,480
I know we've all kind of been doing our
own thing the last couple days, but I

1120
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,600
just had a couple things I wanted to
say.

1121
01:02:17,500 --> 01:02:18,500
That's okay?

1122
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:21,080
Sure.

1123
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:25,780
Look, I've been doing everything that I
can do to try to make you jealous or

1124
01:02:25,780 --> 01:02:29,080
even just get your attention, but you
seem to be the one deal I can't

1125
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,880
renegotiate, so I am just going to come
out with it.

1126
01:02:34,860 --> 01:02:38,660
I know that I messed up, and you had
every right to break up with me.

1127
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,200
But I still have feelings for you.

1128
01:02:42,660 --> 01:02:47,140
So, please, just let me know what I need
to do when you're back.

1129
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:52,100
Please. I mean, stop talking about me
like I'm a prize to be won. You know

1130
01:02:52,100 --> 01:02:53,100
that's not what I meant.

1131
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,600
Zach, realistically, there's nothing you
can do, okay?

1132
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:57,178
We're done.

1133
01:02:57,180 --> 01:02:58,200
Then why haven't you moved on?

1134
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:01,840
Surprisingly deep question.

1135
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,140
I can be profound sometimes.

1136
01:03:04,860 --> 01:03:05,900
Yeah, it's also an assumption.

1137
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:07,320
But is it accurate?

1138
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,200
Look, I don't know how many more times
I'm going to have to say this, but it's

1139
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,540
no longer your concern.

1140
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:17,880
Okay.

1141
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,820
I... I get it.

1142
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:28,200
But I just... I really had to tell you
that... I never meant to hurt you.

1143
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:29,800
Okay? And...

1144
01:03:30,860 --> 01:03:32,320
I really just want you to be happy.

1145
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,380
Hey. Hey.

1146
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,420
Can I still talk for a second?

1147
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:37,640
Hey, Carissa.

1148
01:03:37,700 --> 01:03:38,700
Nice to see you.

1149
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,340
Ivy, this guy Reed, please be careful
with him, okay? He's not on a contract

1150
01:03:44,340 --> 01:03:46,660
right now, so... Yeah, and I'm sure
you'd love to help him change that.

1151
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:53,560
I could get him a great deal, but it's
why I'm concerned for you, okay?

1152
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,460
Ivy, you have a ton going for you, but
above everything else, you're a

1153
01:03:58,460 --> 01:03:59,620
editor and...

1154
01:04:00,399 --> 01:04:03,360
For you, I hope it's not the case, but
he could just be using you for your

1155
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,480
editing ability. So when it comes down
to it, he's going to go for the biggest

1156
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,160
paycheck on the... Right, because that's
what he would do.

1157
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,080
Yep.

1158
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:14,460
I just, I really don't want you to get
hurt again.

1159
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:16,080
Oh, thank you, Zach.

1160
01:04:16,420 --> 01:04:19,780
I appreciate it, I really do, but you
don't have to worry, okay? Reed and I

1161
01:04:19,780 --> 01:04:20,780
are... Are!

1162
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:22,400
None of your concerns.

1163
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:24,680
Thanks, Clarissa.

1164
01:04:25,380 --> 01:04:26,380
Okay.

1165
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:29,320
I get it.

1166
01:04:33,580 --> 01:04:38,060
Am I crazy? Did that just grow a
conscience? A teeny, tiny, itty -bitty

1167
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,820
yeah. Yeah, the smallest one. Okay, let
me just get out our little list of

1168
01:04:40,820 --> 01:04:41,980
things we thought we'd never see.

1169
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:43,138
Mermaids, no.

1170
01:04:43,140 --> 01:04:46,520
Unicorns, no. There it is. That growing
a conscience. We'll cough that one off.

1171
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:47,720
A mind bender.

1172
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:49,940
A hairy one.

1173
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:51,520
That's nice.

1174
01:04:52,220 --> 01:04:53,220
Yeah.

1175
01:04:59,660 --> 01:05:01,840
All right, girl, let's get you set up.
Maybe that's right.

1176
01:05:03,290 --> 01:05:04,810
Hey, hey. Hey,

1177
01:05:09,150 --> 01:05:17,390
get

1178
01:05:17,390 --> 01:05:18,390
some writing done?

1179
01:05:18,630 --> 01:05:21,070
Um, I'm having trouble focusing.

1180
01:05:21,310 --> 01:05:21,988
Oh yeah?

1181
01:05:21,990 --> 01:05:23,250
Something on your mind?

1182
01:05:24,190 --> 01:05:25,290
More like someone.

1183
01:05:27,610 --> 01:05:30,530
Hey, can I borrow your writerly skills?

1184
01:05:31,190 --> 01:05:35,540
Yeah. Sure, what do you need? Okay, so I
need help writing my vows, and I know

1185
01:05:35,540 --> 01:05:36,740
you can help me make them really
romantic.

1186
01:05:37,180 --> 01:05:38,180
That should be good.

1187
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,700
I'm probably not the right person to
ask.

1188
01:05:41,140 --> 01:05:42,140
But you're a writer.

1189
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:47,140
Yeah, but I've always seen romance as a
meaningless pageantry. A show that we

1190
01:05:47,140 --> 01:05:49,500
put on for others instead of showing our
true selves.

1191
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:52,800
Clearly why I have trouble writing.
Reed, stop talking. Stop.

1192
01:05:54,100 --> 01:05:55,700
Sarah, he has no idea what he's talking
about.

1193
01:05:55,980 --> 01:05:56,980
I mean, he does.

1194
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:00,540
I'm about to promise to spend the rest
of my life with someone and...

1195
01:06:00,990 --> 01:06:02,230
What do I even know about him?

1196
01:06:02,910 --> 01:06:04,470
He let me cheat at bocce ball.

1197
01:06:04,850 --> 01:06:07,870
He's a cheater. No, wait, that's not
what I meant. I'm sorry, I wasn't being

1198
01:06:07,870 --> 01:06:09,550
clear. No, no, you were very clear.

1199
01:06:10,890 --> 01:06:15,510
Have you learned nothing?

1200
01:06:16,430 --> 01:06:17,430
Sarah!

1201
01:06:18,670 --> 01:06:19,670
Wait, Sarah!

1202
01:06:22,910 --> 01:06:23,910
Sarah, honey, wait.

1203
01:06:24,970 --> 01:06:28,150
Wait, okay, seriously, Reed doesn't know
what he's talking about.

1204
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,620
I mean, do I even know Alberto?

1205
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,120
Oh my gosh, yes, of course you know
Alberto.

1206
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,100
Come on, you know he's grumpy in the
morning.

1207
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,280
Okay, and you know how he treats his
sisters. That's so much about a person.

1208
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,460
Yeah, but there's so much that I don't
know.

1209
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,000
What if I left an adventure?

1210
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:51,320
Hey, I thought if you're going to go for
a walk, you might get cold.

1211
01:07:00,750 --> 01:07:01,790
Oh, wait. Are you coming?

1212
01:07:02,930 --> 01:07:03,930
Yeah, in a bit.

1213
01:07:13,050 --> 01:07:15,550
Well, what do you think about my new
pages?

1214
01:07:16,090 --> 01:07:17,450
I made my character apologize.

1215
01:07:18,230 --> 01:07:20,150
Yeah, a little art imitating life? Okay.

1216
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:23,310
I know I screwed up yesterday, and I'm
sorry about that.

1217
01:07:23,690 --> 01:07:26,250
But it looks like they patched things
up, though, right? I mean, the wedding's

1218
01:07:26,250 --> 01:07:26,988
still on.

1219
01:07:26,990 --> 01:07:28,230
Yes. Yes, they did.

1220
01:07:28,450 --> 01:07:29,450
And, um...

1221
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,480
I guess you can't help how you feel
about romance.

1222
01:07:33,020 --> 01:07:34,020
Am I still in trouble?

1223
01:07:35,300 --> 01:07:37,700
No. But I can tell you one thing.

1224
01:07:38,140 --> 01:07:42,580
You have improved at writing romance.
Yeah? Yes, this book. I actually have an

1225
01:07:42,580 --> 01:07:47,080
idea I want to... I think I found a
solution to my presentation dilemma.

1226
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:49,040
That's great.

1227
01:07:49,220 --> 01:07:52,800
Well, I hope you think so after I tell
you, because you're a really big part of

1228
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:53,718
it.

1229
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:54,638
I'm game.

1230
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:55,640
What is it?

1231
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:57,240
Okay, well, if you agree...

1232
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,280
I want to use your rewritten manuscript
as a sample of a new cross -genre

1233
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:03,220
subdivision that I want to add to the
overall department.

1234
01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:08,440
Brilliant. Yeah, you think so? Yes, I'm
in.

1235
01:08:08,820 --> 01:08:10,140
Are you sure?

1236
01:08:10,460 --> 01:08:13,460
I mean, like, I can definitely count on
you? Yeah. You can't say yes and then

1237
01:08:13,460 --> 01:08:16,540
say you can't write romance or you don't
write romance. Okay, let's save our

1238
01:08:16,540 --> 01:08:18,020
talking points for public speaking.

1239
01:08:18,300 --> 01:08:23,260
But truly, I've developed a new and deep
respect for romance.

1240
01:08:23,859 --> 01:08:24,859
Right.

1241
01:08:26,110 --> 01:08:27,110
That's a great answer.

1242
01:08:27,890 --> 01:08:31,990
And thank you. I mean, a cross -genre
subdivision would allow us to give

1243
01:08:31,990 --> 01:08:33,890
more freedom and more specialized
support.

1244
01:08:34,310 --> 01:08:35,470
Just like you've given me.

1245
01:08:36,729 --> 01:08:40,149
I really think this is the type of idea
that could secure my promotion, too.

1246
01:08:40,229 --> 01:08:41,229
Absolutely.

1247
01:08:44,149 --> 01:08:48,609
Wow, this deal has become a lot more
than I expected.

1248
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,180
Looking forward to continuing.

1249
01:08:59,859 --> 01:09:00,859
Holly.

1250
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:04,240
Agreed.

1251
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,040
I'm going to get back to my page. Okay.

1252
01:09:27,500 --> 01:09:28,979
Just like an intervention or something?

1253
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:37,420
So, Sarah talked to Alberto, who talked
to Zach, and now, yeah, they know.

1254
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:41,040
I just have one question. Only one.

1255
01:09:42,380 --> 01:09:45,939
Why didn't you tell us that you broke up
with Zach because he cheated on you?

1256
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,260
I didn't really want to have to face
explaining it. I was really embarrassed.

1257
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,040
Oh, no, he is the one that should be
embarrassed.

1258
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:53,040
Yeah, but you guys all loved him so
much.

1259
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:58,860
Honey, we love you more, Mom. But, you
know, the expectations for us in our

1260
01:09:58,860 --> 01:10:02,880
future was just so high, and I didn't
really want to deal with the

1261
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,980
disappointment of it all. Plus, not on
your wedding weekend.

1262
01:10:06,300 --> 01:10:07,840
That's exactly why we should have known.

1263
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:13,240
I mean, everything that I said last
night and you said, and it's all good.

1264
01:10:13,500 --> 01:10:14,500
No worries.

1265
01:10:14,740 --> 01:10:16,820
But you, you should have said something.

1266
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:20,060
You didn't have to go through it alone.
Hey, Clarissa knew.

1267
01:10:20,420 --> 01:10:21,420
I wasn't alone.

1268
01:10:21,790 --> 01:10:25,890
But don't get me started about the two
of you keeping secrets from your mother.

1269
01:10:27,250 --> 01:10:29,650
Although I am glad you've got each
other's back.

1270
01:10:29,950 --> 01:10:30,950
Yeah, always.

1271
01:10:31,670 --> 01:10:33,850
I think we're just better off knowing
the truth.

1272
01:10:34,110 --> 01:10:36,770
I mean, I'm really happy that I found
out before the wedding.

1273
01:10:37,070 --> 01:10:38,770
Alberto and I both are. Really?

1274
01:10:39,710 --> 01:10:41,650
Yeah, I mean, but Zach did.

1275
01:10:42,130 --> 01:10:47,690
He admits it's a mistake, but not all
guys are going to be like that. Oh, I

1276
01:10:47,870 --> 01:10:48,529
I know.

1277
01:10:48,530 --> 01:10:49,530
Do you?

1278
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,460
Okay, so maybe I could use some
reminders.

1279
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:53,800
Yeah.

1280
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,360
Okay, but say the word, and Zach is no
longer Beth's man.

1281
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:03,040
No, Zach apologized. I mean, I'm at
peace with it. So you and Alberto, you

1282
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,380
to decide whatever is best for you, but
please do not take me into account.

1283
01:11:06,740 --> 01:11:10,500
You and Zach introduced us. That's why
we wanted you so involved with the

1284
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:11,500
wedding.

1285
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,560
But if Zach apologized... He did. He
did, sincerely.

1286
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:16,720
Believe it or not. Weird. Weird.

1287
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,500
Okay, well, if you're okay...

1288
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:21,700
And I guess we're okay. Okay.

1289
01:11:22,740 --> 01:11:26,320
But I do have one more tidbit.

1290
01:11:27,780 --> 01:11:30,380
So apparently Zach was trying to make
Ivy jealous.

1291
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,540
I told you.

1292
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:36,780
His date is from one of those wedding
date apps designed to find dates.

1293
01:11:38,100 --> 01:11:39,120
No way.

1294
01:11:39,340 --> 01:11:41,360
They have apps for that?

1295
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:42,800
Apparently.

1296
01:11:44,060 --> 01:11:47,320
Yeah, I mean, it's genius. No one wants
to go to a wedding alone.

1297
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,880
Zach thought if he could make Ivy
jealous, he could get her back.

1298
01:11:52,180 --> 01:11:54,000
Yeah, well, that plan didn't work, you
know.

1299
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,380
I mean, I knew that they were that into
each other.

1300
01:11:57,900 --> 01:12:00,880
Apparently she's been staying away from
the more intimate moments out of respect

1301
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:01,880
for the family.

1302
01:12:02,060 --> 01:12:04,160
Which is actually really nice, right?

1303
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,720
I have a little confession that I want
to make.

1304
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,660
You did not find Reed Shepard on an app.

1305
01:12:17,480 --> 01:12:18,840
It's a funny story, actually.

1306
01:12:19,820 --> 01:12:21,900
All right, shoot me straight.

1307
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,080
What's really going on with you and
Reed?

1308
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,600
I may have developed a bit of an
interest.

1309
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:34,160
Ivy. No, don't. Oh, Ivy, me, okay? He
doesn't feel the same way, and he

1310
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,940
okay? And he's not into romance, and
we're friends, maybe. I bet.

1311
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,600
All right, seriously.

1312
01:12:39,900 --> 01:12:42,820
Have you learned nothing reading all
those romances? I mean, come on. It's a

1313
01:12:42,820 --> 01:12:43,820
problem always.

1314
01:12:43,870 --> 01:12:46,610
A simple misunderstanding would be
cleared up with a simple conversation.

1315
01:12:47,630 --> 01:12:49,130
That does sound familiar, yeah.

1316
01:12:49,550 --> 01:12:52,910
But when it's your heart on the line,
it's harder than it seems.

1317
01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:57,390
Let's get some cake.

1318
01:13:04,490 --> 01:13:05,490
Hey.

1319
01:13:05,730 --> 01:13:06,730
Hey.

1320
01:13:07,630 --> 01:13:12,270
Thought I should let you know that the
cat's out of the bag.

1321
01:13:13,230 --> 01:13:16,770
I guess that's about our deal, and I
opened up about, well, everything.

1322
01:13:19,490 --> 01:13:20,490
Opened up everything?

1323
01:13:21,730 --> 01:13:22,730
What else was there?

1324
01:13:22,870 --> 01:13:23,870
Did I forget something?

1325
01:13:24,990 --> 01:13:29,490
Well, it's that whole thing you've been
keeping from your family.

1326
01:13:30,750 --> 01:13:31,750
Yeah, I told them.

1327
01:13:32,870 --> 01:13:35,870
Zach cheated on me, and now everyone
knows.

1328
01:13:36,710 --> 01:13:39,090
You know that's a reflection on him and
not you, right?

1329
01:13:39,730 --> 01:13:40,730
Yeah, I know.

1330
01:13:41,490 --> 01:13:42,650
And most days I know.

1331
01:13:43,130 --> 01:13:45,070
You deserve so much better.

1332
01:13:46,010 --> 01:13:47,010
Every day.

1333
01:13:48,390 --> 01:13:52,650
It's so funny you should say every day.
I mean, of course, I was saying earlier,

1334
01:13:52,710 --> 01:13:55,770
just... Never mind.

1335
01:13:57,730 --> 01:14:00,650
But even if Zach hadn't cheated on me, I
mean, we wouldn't still be together.

1336
01:14:01,350 --> 01:14:04,770
I'm goal -oriented, but I'm not able to
be with someone who's that competitive.

1337
01:14:07,610 --> 01:14:09,050
So you're still not open to love?

1338
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,640
What are you talking about? You're the
one who closed off to romance.

1339
01:14:13,100 --> 01:14:17,000
Oh, I told you before, love is not the
problem. It's romance and all the fakery

1340
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,000
that goes along.

1341
01:14:18,660 --> 01:14:19,660
Like this relationship?

1342
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,720
Then, hey, we can at least continue on
as, um... Colleagues.

1343
01:14:28,500 --> 01:14:33,520
I mean, you've helped me so much, I'd
say that... I'd say that we're even...

1344
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,220
true collaborators.

1345
01:14:40,130 --> 01:14:41,290
We'll always have Giancarlo.

1346
01:14:44,590 --> 01:14:45,529
Ivy, Reed.

1347
01:14:45,530 --> 01:14:48,390
Hey, what's going on? What's wrong? You
know better than to ask us for help,

1348
01:14:48,410 --> 01:14:49,389
right?

1349
01:14:49,390 --> 01:14:52,410
So, one of the guys had an emergency and
had to fly out tonight.

1350
01:14:52,750 --> 01:14:54,650
So, we have a huge favor to ask you.

1351
01:14:55,130 --> 01:14:56,130
Whatever you need.

1352
01:14:56,650 --> 01:14:58,030
Will you walk Ivy down the aisle?

1353
01:14:59,430 --> 01:15:00,430
Yeah, of course.

1354
01:15:01,350 --> 01:15:02,350
Thanks, man.

1355
01:15:02,430 --> 01:15:04,030
Thank you, guys.

1356
01:15:04,370 --> 01:15:06,130
Sure. Okay, we won't interrupt you any
further.

1357
01:15:09,830 --> 01:15:11,210
Wait, okay. I know this face.

1358
01:15:11,930 --> 01:15:14,270
Is there a light bulb going off over my
head? Yeah, maybe.

1359
01:15:14,530 --> 01:15:16,310
Yeah, because I think I know how to wrap
everything up.

1360
01:15:17,190 --> 01:15:18,230
Did you have anything more?

1361
01:15:18,430 --> 01:15:19,430
No, no, no.

1362
01:15:19,750 --> 01:15:22,330
Nothing that can't wait. Go. Go write
something I can't put down.

1363
01:15:22,550 --> 01:15:23,550
Okay.

1364
01:15:23,810 --> 01:15:24,810
You look beautiful.

1365
01:15:26,150 --> 01:15:27,150
Thank you.

1366
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Everything okay?

1367
01:15:53,780 --> 01:15:54,780
Of course.

1368
01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:57,600
You want a cup of tea?

1369
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:58,640
Mm -hmm.

1370
01:16:33,870 --> 01:16:34,870
Can you read?

1371
01:16:35,010 --> 01:16:36,010
No, you're right.

1372
01:16:40,510 --> 01:16:41,510
Okay, I'll be right back, okay?

1373
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:32,960
Hey, what's up?

1374
01:17:33,500 --> 01:17:34,500
Are you looking for Reed?

1375
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:35,720
Yes.

1376
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:40,360
Oh, he must be at the bank. I just made
him a ton of money.

1377
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:42,100
What are you talking about?

1378
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,940
I got him a deal with Lehman. They're
going to give him twice what Triple H

1379
01:17:46,940 --> 01:17:47,940
going to offer him.

1380
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,740
No, he wouldn't do... Do exactly what I
told you he was going to do?

1381
01:17:52,260 --> 01:17:53,400
Oh, Ivy.

1382
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:55,080
It's just business.

1383
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,200
No, he said... Did he sign?

1384
01:18:00,980 --> 01:18:02,120
That's why I need people like me around.

1385
01:18:05,440 --> 01:18:07,600
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened?
Where's Reed?

1386
01:18:08,980 --> 01:18:10,480
I never should have trusted him.

1387
01:18:11,340 --> 01:18:15,240
He took a deal with a publisher who
offered him more money. Oh, that's not

1388
01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:18,620
Not after all the work you guys have
done. I based my entire presentation on

1389
01:18:18,620 --> 01:18:20,240
him. I mean, this undermines everything.

1390
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,680
And he's not even here to be my wedding
date.

1391
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,320
Well, at least now everyone's questions
are going to be about Zach.

1392
01:18:25,580 --> 01:18:26,580
Look, there's an explanation.

1393
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,480
Then why isn't he here to explain it?

1394
01:18:32,110 --> 01:18:33,110
You know what? That's our cue.

1395
01:18:33,990 --> 01:18:34,949
On a blast.

1396
01:18:34,950 --> 01:18:35,950
He's going to be here.

1397
01:18:51,550 --> 01:18:53,090
Oh, God, you look beautiful.

1398
01:18:53,490 --> 01:18:54,490
Thank you.

1399
01:18:55,010 --> 01:18:58,270
My imagination, or did we not get all
our ducks in a row?

1400
01:19:10,700 --> 01:19:12,240
Okay, I'm really, really sorry, but
Reed's not here.

1401
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:13,800
Is it all Bartosz's show?

1402
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,180
Oh, honey, yeah, of course.

1403
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:17,360
Okay, then I'm fine.

1404
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,780
Hey, do you want me to step out? It's
your special day, whatever you want. No,

1405
01:19:26,780 --> 01:19:27,780
want you in my wedding.

1406
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:31,820
I'm so sorry.

1407
01:19:33,100 --> 01:19:34,460
Wait a minute. Where were you?

1408
01:19:47,500 --> 01:19:50,640
No, it's okay. They can all wait. This
is my day. And I want to know where you

1409
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:51,640
were.

1410
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,080
I'm really sorry.

1411
01:19:58,500 --> 01:20:00,040
You said that. Where were you?

1412
01:20:00,540 --> 01:20:01,800
Did you really sign a contract?

1413
01:20:02,300 --> 01:20:04,360
Yeah. Wait, who told you?

1414
01:20:15,220 --> 01:20:16,220
It's a lot more than that.

1415
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:19,500
What's the holdup?

1416
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:23,460
I left before dawn. I thought I'd be
back in time, but apparently everybody

1417
01:20:23,460 --> 01:20:24,820
their cousin wanted to come to the beach
today.

1418
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:27,000
Oh, so weekend traffic?

1419
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:28,920
Poor man.

1420
01:20:28,980 --> 01:20:32,440
But you're here now. Can everyone and
her cousin get on with the wedding? Not

1421
01:20:32,440 --> 01:20:33,440
yet.

1422
01:20:38,380 --> 01:20:41,300
No, Sarah, it's fine. I'm fine. This is
more than just about traffic.

1423
01:20:41,860 --> 01:20:43,380
You sold me out for a better contract.

1424
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,080
Wait, what are you talking about?

1425
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:46,400
You signed with Lehman.

1426
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:54,760
No, I signed with Triple H.

1427
01:20:55,580 --> 01:20:56,580
You did?

1428
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:03,440
Yeah.

1429
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:05,200
How else could we remain colleagues?

1430
01:21:08,140 --> 01:21:09,680
Well, you guys can explain this later.

1431
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,220
This is someone's date and I am ready to
get married.

1432
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:31,400
Come on, double time it.

1433
01:22:09,350 --> 01:22:12,450
I promise to make our life an adventure.

1434
01:22:14,470 --> 01:22:17,910
And to always keep you guessing, as
evidence of today.

1435
01:22:18,790 --> 01:22:22,930
But to be your partner and to support
you with love and encouragement.

1436
01:22:25,190 --> 01:22:28,590
And I promise to spend every day with
you.

1437
01:22:30,310 --> 01:22:36,970
To double every joy, to have every
sorrow, and to make our love the

1438
01:22:36,970 --> 01:22:37,970
a lifetime.

1439
01:22:39,470 --> 01:22:41,030
You may now kiss the bride.

1440
01:22:52,570 --> 01:22:52,970
Okay,

1441
01:22:52,970 --> 01:23:04,870
everybody,

1442
01:23:05,070 --> 01:23:06,070
look at me.

1443
01:23:06,450 --> 01:23:07,990
Come on, I want to see big smiles.

1444
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:09,720
Big smile.

1445
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:11,640
Cheese.

1446
01:23:12,980 --> 01:23:13,980
Cheese.

1447
01:23:16,300 --> 01:23:17,300
One for fun.

1448
01:23:19,660 --> 01:23:22,620
Ladies and gentlemen, the bride and the
groom.

1449
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:28,600
Let's get some drinks.

1450
01:23:28,740 --> 01:23:29,740
Come on, let's go.

1451
01:23:34,260 --> 01:23:37,560
You remember where I got the cake?

1452
01:23:38,220 --> 01:23:41,440
I want to head home. I've got a lot of
work to do. Oh, you can't leave before

1453
01:23:41,440 --> 01:23:42,700
cake. I think I'll play potluck.

1454
01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:44,560
Since when are you superstitious?

1455
01:23:44,780 --> 01:23:47,200
Um, I'm not. But, you know, let's just
play it safe.

1456
01:23:47,440 --> 01:23:51,120
Let's go have some cake, talk to Reed. I
think I've done enough talking to Reed.

1457
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,920
Okay, well, let's just have some cake.

1458
01:23:54,260 --> 01:23:56,060
Not coconut.

1459
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,520
So I heard you're working in fashion
now?

1460
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:15,940
I'm a fashion buyer in Milan.

1461
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,660
Wow. Did you hear that today's
publishing is featuring me in an

1462
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:21,120
I'll send you a link.

1463
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:22,580
Why don't we talk about it over dinner?

1464
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:25,040
Sounds good.

1465
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,360
It's really into aggressive nipple play.

1466
01:24:34,420 --> 01:24:35,420
Okay.

1467
01:24:40,820 --> 01:24:41,820
Out with it.

1468
01:24:42,190 --> 01:24:43,190
What happened?

1469
01:24:44,310 --> 01:24:45,310
Lately?

1470
01:24:46,030 --> 01:24:47,030
That's over.

1471
01:24:47,230 --> 01:24:48,310
It really happened.

1472
01:24:49,710 --> 01:24:52,730
Oh, wow, really? We're all just going to
sit around here, are we? Yes, we're

1473
01:24:52,730 --> 01:24:53,409
here for you.

1474
01:24:53,410 --> 01:24:56,550
Thank you. Thank you so much. Can you be
here for me just somewhere else? Oh,

1475
01:24:56,550 --> 01:24:58,150
for pity's sake, back off.

1476
01:24:58,630 --> 01:24:59,910
Give the girl some space.

1477
01:25:00,990 --> 01:25:01,990
Come on.

1478
01:25:05,250 --> 01:25:07,590
Sorry. Thank you so much, Anita.

1479
01:25:07,850 --> 01:25:08,629
You're welcome.

1480
01:25:08,630 --> 01:25:11,730
Have I told you recently that you're my
favorite aunt? You do all the time.

1481
01:25:12,590 --> 01:25:16,350
I just... Have you told him how you
feel?

1482
01:25:17,550 --> 01:25:23,590
I don't know how I...

1483
01:25:23,590 --> 01:25:30,410
Maybe just

1484
01:25:30,410 --> 01:25:35,110
listen. I wanted to apologize again. I
really thought I'd be back.

1485
01:25:36,090 --> 01:25:37,470
Well, all's well that ends well.

1486
01:25:37,850 --> 01:25:41,050
Really? Because it doesn't feel like
it's ending very well yet.

1487
01:25:42,850 --> 01:25:46,230
Zach led me to believe that you had
signed with Landon, but I'm so glad that

1488
01:25:46,230 --> 01:25:48,430
signed with Triple H. That's why I had
to go this morning.

1489
01:25:48,950 --> 01:25:49,950
I don't understand.

1490
01:25:50,710 --> 01:25:54,090
When we started working together, I
called Harper and I told her that I

1491
01:25:54,090 --> 01:25:57,870
to sign with Triple H under the
condition that my editor was you.

1492
01:25:59,710 --> 01:26:01,090
DJ? Yes.

1493
01:26:01,730 --> 01:26:04,730
And I told you from the start that you
would be well compensated.

1494
01:26:05,250 --> 01:26:09,450
But then Zach stuck his nose where it
wasn't invited, and she called concerned

1495
01:26:09,450 --> 01:26:11,030
because we had already come to terms.

1496
01:26:12,270 --> 01:26:15,490
I thought that this would help your
presentation if you had me under lock

1497
01:26:15,490 --> 01:26:16,490
key, so to speak.

1498
01:26:16,750 --> 01:26:19,650
So I called her and asked if I could
sign the contract first thing in the

1499
01:26:19,650 --> 01:26:20,690
morning, and she said, yes.

1500
01:26:21,010 --> 01:26:22,150
Here's your copy, by the way.

1501
01:26:22,370 --> 01:26:26,090
Now, I don't know if this is a good
visual aid for your presentation or not,

1502
01:26:26,090 --> 01:26:28,630
I just wanted you to know that our deal
is rock solid.

1503
01:26:29,770 --> 01:26:33,930
I'm so sorry that I ever doubted you.
Oh, don't. I know now.

1504
01:26:35,270 --> 01:26:36,270
I'm sorry.

1505
01:26:37,310 --> 01:26:40,350
Are you sure you want to end the story
this way?

1506
01:26:42,730 --> 01:26:44,230
I do have more. And Edith?

1507
01:26:45,330 --> 01:26:46,330
Attaboy.

1508
01:26:47,970 --> 01:26:49,030
I'm here to see you.

1509
01:26:50,770 --> 01:26:57,770
Ivy, I don't know how to say this all
romantically yet, but meeting

1510
01:26:57,770 --> 01:26:59,850
you has been the best thing that's ever
happened to me.

1511
01:27:01,590 --> 01:27:02,650
That's a pretty good start.

1512
01:27:02,890 --> 01:27:07,150
You showed me what was missing from my
book, but you also showed me what was

1513
01:27:07,150 --> 01:27:08,150
missing from my life.

1514
01:27:08,490 --> 01:27:10,670
And I'm falling for you so hard.

1515
01:27:11,690 --> 01:27:16,190
And as much as I want to work with you,
I want to fill your days, every one of

1516
01:27:16,190 --> 01:27:18,990
them, with a real -life romance that you
deserve.

1517
01:27:21,710 --> 01:27:22,790
Did I plug the end?

1518
01:27:24,290 --> 01:27:25,290
You nailed it.

1519
01:27:26,270 --> 01:27:27,270
I want that too.

1520
01:27:28,770 --> 01:27:29,770
Working with you.

1521
01:27:31,510 --> 01:27:32,510
