[shutter snapping]

[shutter snapping]

[man]: I see you've got the living room facing west now.

Of course. You want that late-afternoon light

flooding through into the kitchen

And you've moved the master bedroom?

It's facing the trees.

Nice way to wake up.

Says the man who lives in the highrise.

I see plenty of trees.

They're just real tiny.

I don't know, buddy. I like this place.

You always say that.

I think, after we're finished,

I might move in.

You always say that, too.

I think I might mean it this time.

Well, good. In that case, we're not gonna build the kitchen.

[chuckling]

I gotta get home.

Say hi to the gang.

[♪♪]

They're stealing all of our customers!

For now. They're just new.

And ruthless.

We should steal them back.

We are a mom-and-pop shop.

We don't do that sort of thing.

Oh, but we do what, the going-under kinda thing?

I'm not worried.

Okay, I am a little worried,

but they'll be back, because we're better.

What's with the teeth?

It's the anniversary of a dental practice.

We make cakes for that?

We do now.

Okay.

Let's lock up.

We are going to McCoy's.

What's at McCoy's?

Speed-dating.

That would be a no.

Julia...

you never go out anymore.

I don't do speed-dating.

Besides, all my dates last under five minutes anyways.

Uh, no, honey.

Those were dates, they were drive-by coffees.

You know what? They weren't even coffees.

They were decafs.

You really do know too much about me.

Look, it's a new year,

and it's been months since Dylan,

so you really need to jump back in the pool again.

I will...

but not tonight, I've got stuff to do.

You go.

Have fun.

Please tell me you are not reshooting the cakes again?

I'm not.

Because the website looks great!

Good luck!

Miss you!

[♪♪]

[snapping]

[quiet background chatter]

Gino! If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times--

Hey... Angelo.

There you go.

Dinner for one.

What, no date tonight?

I thought we agreed

you were gonna stop monitoring my love life.

I never agreed to that.

And you spend too much time on that photo site.

Besides, it's almost Valentine's Day.

It's January.

Yeah, and then it's February.

Any breadsticks in there?

Hey, listen, you go get yourself a nice girl,

I'll throw in breadsticks.

You know what? I'll pay for some.

[chuckles] Oh, trust me, you'll pay, all right.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[TV plays quietly]

[computer notification chimes]

[pauses show]

It's my photo-sharing friend.

Well, hello.

Let me guess...

Two ice-skaters on a frozen pond...

hopelessly in love?

[beep]

Pictures of a rusty nail?

[boop]

No, I've moved on from rusty nails.

[alert chimes]

Hmm.

Or a commentary on past relationships.

[beep]

[Julia]: Just a photo-sharing site, huh?

Hmm.

[fork clatters]

[beep]

[beep]

[beep]

Look at us.

Eating out of cartons.

Chatting to strangers.

Not total strangers...

We've been chatting for 15 days.

She's counting the days.

[keys clacking]

[beep]

[Julia]: Uh-oh.

Well, I was married once.

Yeah. A lifetime ago.

Me too.

[mouths word]

[beep]

[beep]

[laughs]

Always lovely chatting with you.

[beep]

[closes laptop]

[beep]

[♪♪]

15 days.

[whirring]

Ooh, nice threads, boss.

We run a class operation here.

Got a meeting with the bank?

Mm-hmm.

Then maybe you should wear a tie.

I got one in the car.

Hey.

What did we decide on this?

I love it!

It's a go?

-Yeah! -Okay.

We still on for Meatloaf Monday?

As always.

Morning!

Good morning. How was speed-dating?

Oh, not fast enough, and a total waste of makeup.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

What happened to the days when you could meet the perfect guy

in line at the bank or at the market?

I don't know.

Mrs. Mintz! Good morning.

Your order won't be ready until tomorrow.

Julia, I'm afraid I need to cancel.

Oh.

No party?

No, there's a party.

Um, Cakes Etc.'s having a cronut promotion.

I'm sorry.

Of course.

I'll issue you a refund.

That's okay. That's fine.

Bye.

Enjoy the party!

Cronuts? Since when do they make cronuts?

Cronuts are our thing!

They don't make cronuts!

Ruthless.

I'm tellin' ya.

[doorbell chimes]

Uncle Nick!

Hey! You got so big.

You saw me three days ago.

Look what I got for ya.

Thanks, Uncle Nick!

You're gonna spoil him.

And for you.

You're gonna spoil me, too.

Pairs well with the meatloaf.

There you go.

This is nice.

Wouldn't it be nice if you had your own family?

I've got you guys.

[Kim]: We just want to see you happy.

[Kyle]: He is happy!

He's alone.

Exactly!

Honey, he's my only single friend.

How am I supposed to live vicariously through him

if you keep trying to marry him off?

Whatever happened with Amy?

We went out for coffee.

And?

Loud sipper, close-talker, soft laugher--

All her redeeming qualities, and that's what you noticed?

I'm sorry. It's not gonna work out.

Okay, I have someone else.

[quiet groan]

No! Listen.

She's really nice and she teaches yoga.

I am not doing yoga.

Plus, we know what "nice" is a codeword for.

You stay out of it. She's gorgeous.

Is she a health-nut?

Maybe.

"Health-nut" means vegan, "vegan" means

gluten-free and lactose-intolerant.

You think I'm gonna give up ice cream?

No, I wouldn't give up ice cream either.

I wouldn't!

You know, the truth is,

I, uh, I think I kinda might've met somebody.

[in unison]: Really?

Oh! Girls' night out.

Don't you dare say no again.

Okay, I wasn't going to tell you,

because it's nothing yet.

I met someone.

What?

How could you not tell me?

I am telling you.

When? Where?

Well, we haven't actually met-met,

but we've been chatting.

Online.

Come on! You are online dating?

I'm telling you, it's not a dating site.

It's a photo-sharing site

for people who love photography.

I don't know, there's something about her.

You know,

we have this... connection.

I've never heard you say that.

Neither have I!

What does she look like?

That's the crazy part.

I don't even know.

Seriously?

His avatar's the Portland skyline.

-Uh-oh. -What?

Nothing.

Leslie.

Don't you think if he were good-looking,

like, at all,

he put would put up a picture of himself?

It's a photography site. We put up photos.

Delete your account. Go dark.

Thanks for dinner, Kim! It was delicious!

[exhales]

[♪♪]

[computer chimes]

[♪♪]

Sorry, Kyle.

[beep]

How was "Meatloaf Monday"?

[beep]

How was the gym?

[beep]

Hmm.

[beep]

What am I doing tomorrow night? What...?

Not having dinner with you?

[beep]

Right.

In case we hate each other.

[beep]

Hmm!

[beep]

7:00 it is.

[beep]

[drums on laptop cover]

[♪♪]

[sighs]

Hi.

Thank you.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Nick]: No. It can't be.

Julia?

Nicky?

I thought you were in Paris.

I was...

I moved back a couple of years ago.

Oh, that's right. I heard that somewhere.

Wow. 16 years.

It's amazing.

Time flies when you're not married.

Right.

Well, I'd love to catch up,

but I'm actually meeting someone.

Yeah. Me too.

Oh.

Good to see you.

You too.

You know, it's really weird.

This is my first date in months,

and I bump into you.

That's weird.

Bye.

[apprehensive sigh]

"Say Cheese"?

"Picture This"?

[sighs]

I'm the "unmemorable" guy you divorced?

I'm the "oil" of "Oil and Water"?

I wasn't talking... about you.

How many exes have you had?

How could you say you don't remember me?

Well, what I meant was, I try not to think about you.

That's worse! Thanks for the compliment.

Oh, this is great.

I'm going to go home now and eat a pint of ice cream.

Mint-chocolate chip?

Yeah.

Your hair still looks good, Nicky.

You too.

I'd better go.

I'll see you

in another 16 years, I guess.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

Julia!

Angelo.

Oh, ho, ho, ho!

You haven't changed a bit. So great to see you.

And you, why, you're more beautiful than ever.

It's been too long.

I know, I've been meaning to come in.

Well, you're here now!

With this guy! Just like old times.

You know long I have waited to see

the two of you back together again?

-Oh, no. Angelo, we're not. -It's just a coincidence.

Oh, no coincidence. No.

Your old table, it's available!

It's totally unnecessary. We apprec--

We weren't planning on staying.

Oh, nonsense!

You were my favorite customers.

Hey, Gino! Bring some Chianti and calamari!

You-You still like calamari, right?

Yeah?

Do we?

Nicky?

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Angelo humming cheerily]

Thanks, Angelo.

Yep!

You can leave that, Angelo.

Yeah?

Okay.

I think we might need the whole bottle.

[clink]

He seemed really happy to see us.

I probably should have picked another place.

You always were a creature of habit.

Mm, no, I'm not.

How many times did we come here back then?

We always used to go

to that Chinese place you loved.

Besides, Angelo has the best pasta in town.

You know where noodles were invented?

China.

Invented in China, perfected by Angelo.

I still can't believe

that my first date in months,

I end up with you.

Months, huh?

I took some time off.

I was in a relationship,

and it didn't work out.

You want to talk about it?

With "Picture This"?

No, thank you.

He was a doctor.

Actually, a chiropractor.

So, not really a doctor.

He got a job offer and he took it.

Chiropractors Without Borders?

Chiropractors in Malibu.

Oh, he chose his career over the relationship.

It sounds like you dodged a bullet.

You and I chose our careers over each other.

We were 20 years old.

That's what you're supposed to do.

Kids?

[chuckles] Oh! No. I lost a bet with a seven-year-old.

Ahh. Gambling with seven-year-olds?

Mm, just one.

My godson.

Tommy.

He's so cute.

You remember Kyle and Kim, right?

Of course! Are they still together?

Better than ever.

And wait till I tell them who I ran into.

So, you know, the last time I saw you,

you were wearing a hard-hat and a toolbelt.

I still do, sometimes.

Not as much as I'd like.

I'm more of a developer now.

Oh! It worked out for you, then.

That's so great, Nicky.

How about you?

Did you ever open the restaurant you always talked about?

Oh, I got side-tracked.

Do you remember the bakery in the old neighborhood?

Danny's Confections?

Of course! The famous black-and-white cookies.

I took it over after Danny died.

Danny...

Now, he was a character.

Oh, he was.

This is me.

You kept the name.

I probably shouldn't have.

Sure is catchy.

It's not really helping business.

It just didn't feel right to change it.

Nothing wrong with being sentimental.

This wasn't totally awful.

No.

It wasn't.

Friends?

Friends!

Goodnight.

Hey!

Since I, uh...

spoiled your re-entry

into the shark-infested dating waters,

why don't you let me make it up to you?

Seriously,

I know a couple of really cool guys.

Why don't you let me fix you up on a date?

Absolutely not!

Come on, it would be fun. Trust me, okay?

Who knows you better than me?

Almost everyone!

You came here because you wanted to meet somebody, right?

I guess.

Then what have you got to lose?

Okay. Fine.

But I get to set you up, too.

How did I get dragged into this?

[chuckles] Yeah, you heard me.

Okay. Deal.

Deal.

Bye.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Kyle cracking up]

I can't believe it was Julia!

I know, right?

You know,

I always secretly hoped you guys would get back together.

Don't get too excited.

We're definitely not back.

In fact, I'm setting her up on a date.

What? Why?

She's single.

Yeah, so are you.

I agreed to go out with one of her friends.

It was sort of a package deal.

I don't get you.

You guys were crazy about each other.

Look, we were just kids then.

I didn't even know who I was.

Are you sure that you're not pushing her away

because you actually have feelings for her again?

No.

How'd she look?

All right.

"All right"?

It's Julia. What do you think?

She's gorgeous.

You guys were great together.

Until it was over.

Yeah. Whose fault was that?

The Atlantic Ocean.

You could have gone with her.

We thought we could

make a long-distance relationship work,

and it didn't.

Logan!

-Right on time. -Hey.

Just wanted to check out our new hot listing.

Much cooler than Oak Street,

and you know how fast that one sold.

So when can we show this one?

Mid-uh...

February-ish.

Okay. Yeah! I like it.

"...Ish"?

[Nick]: That's it. You like it?

Yeah! It's great.

And remember, we're gonna swap the layout,

so we're gonna keep the great room,

and then we're gonna go with a full-on chef's kitchen.

Perfect. I like it.

-Question. -Mm-hmm?

You're still single, right?

Yeah.

I got somebody I want you to meet.

Really?

I am not gonna go on a date

with your ex-husband.

It was a lifetime ago,

and he's a really good guy.

Well, maybe I want to date a jerk,

try and change him, fail,

then get my heart broken.

Haven't you done enough of that?

Look, if he's such a great guy,

then why did you break up with him?

I got an job offer to be a sous-chef in Paris.

His job was here.

That's it?

It was my dream job.

He wanted me to take it.

So you just left?

We loved each other. We tried to work it out.

We were just too young

and we let our careers get in the way.

Well, you're not too young now.

Ancient history!

Besides...

he's fixing me up with someone else.

And you're okay with that?

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, because you just made a bachelor party cake

for a five-year-old.

Greg's the bachelor.

Tyler's the birthday.

We gotta do something.

Get another one.

I don't think we have any.

Check in the back!

-Okay, I-- -[door opens]

Oh...

Here's the birthday boy now!

Is our cake ready?

Tyler...

you wouldn't happen to be a gambling man

by any chance, would you?

It's "Taylor,"

and we ordered a fire engine.

I want that one, Mommy!

With the dice!

We're going across the street.

No. No, no, no. Please, don't.

Please, come back.

Honey, don't look.

-Please. -Stop begging.

Just... let it go.

[Nick]: Are you getting ready for your big date?

-Yeah. You? -[shouts]: Yes!

I mean, yes. Yes.

Sounds like you're watching football.

Well, that's how I get ready.

So unfair.

Listen, uh, I know she's your friend, so...

I'll be on my best behavior.

Please tell me why we're doing this again.

Because you wanted to meet someone,

and I'm doing it because, uh...

oh, that's right, because you're forcing me to.

[sighs]

Right.

[background music playing]

Hi.

[♪♪]

Nice shot.

You must be Nick.

Leslie?

Mm-hmm.

Nice to meet you.

Heard a lot about you.

I heard a lot about you, too.

Oh... sorry.

How'd you know it was me?

The hair.

Julia said something about my hair?

No. Not really.

Um... shall we? Let's have a drink.

-Great! -Okay. This way.

[♪♪]

So, you guys were married for two years?

And you've been friends for 10?

And you met in photo class?

And you met in cooking class.

[awkward chuckle]

Um, oh!

So, you know, she's going out with your friend tonight, right?

Well, he's not exactly a friend. He's my realtor.

Oh, but you know him really well?

Pretty well. He sells a lot of houses.

He's a...

He's a real closer.

Oh.

Don't worry. She's in good hands.

I'm sure he'll take her to somewhere nice.

Oh, he is.

Dinner and a movie.

Wow! Really? Both?

That's, like, a...

four-hour commitment.

Or longer.

Ah.

How long were we in there?

About a half hour.

Felt longer.

I'll tell her we tried.

And I'll tell her your hair looked really good.

[knocking]

Hi! I'm Julia.

Hi. I'm Logan. Nice to meet you.

These are for you.

Wow. These are beautiful.

-Thank you. -Come in.

Thanks.

I'll just put them in some water.

Okay.

Wow. This is a nice place you have.

Is it-- Do you own or rent?

Thank you. Own.

Wow. They don't make old places like these anymore.

That's why I like it.

Do you mind if I look around?

Sure, I'll give you the ten-second tour.

-Okay. -The kitchen...

Yes! Well, i-it's charming, but, uh...

But?

Sorry. Ignore me.

Occupational hazard.

Right, Nick said you were a real estate broker.

Yes.

Uh, what were you going to say?

I can take it.

Nah, nah, forget it. It's-- It's...

[reluctant groan]

It is dated.

The refrigerator's new.

Ha! The fridge!

[awkward chuckle]

That's not... oh.

Well, kitchens and bathrooms sell--

sell homes.

Oh, good to know.

Yeah.

Floor-vent heating?

Is that bad?

No! No, no. Not at all.

It's just not a favorite of people these days.

But the crown molding is-is beautiful.

Yeah, I love those.

Yeah, that's...

You're frowning.

No, no, no!

This place is... This place is nice.

Very nice. Quaint!

Oh, pardon me for just one second.

You know, I hate to do this to you,

but I have been waiting for this offer for a month.

Can we reschedule this,

and I can take you home now?

I am home.

Uh, right. Right.

No, no, no. This is not up for negotiation,

'cause this is in escrow.

You can't...

Door. Door's open. Yes. Okay. I'm sorry.

Listen, here's my card.

Give me a ring and we'll reschedule--

[astonished groan]

Hey, listen, if you ever list--

[exhales in disgust]

You are buying me dinner.

And jewelry.

Hey.

Here.

It's the best I could do on such short notice.

Okay, That was officially the worst date I have ever had.

It wasn't even a date.

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

I guess you never really know somebody

until you date 'em,

which, by the way, your BFF and I had a wonderful time

talking all about you.

I know, she texted me.

You really had nothing to talk about?

Nothing except my hair.

Ah, the hair. Yes, of course, the hair.

So I guess this wasn't such a great idea after all.

No.

Hi.

Have you two decided?

[in unison]: Pancakes.

Okay.

He'll have the chocolate-chip and I'll have the blueberry.

And he likes lots and lots of whipped cream.

Will do.

I don't think I'm cut out for dating.

Would it make you feel better if I told you

I once went on a date that lasted less than a minute.

She took out pictures of our imaginary kids.

I went out with a guy who corrected my grammar.

And how about "It's a Small World" for a cellphone ringtone?

Talking parrot on a shoulder.

[chuckles]

You win. What was he, a pirate?

And he had a tip calculator.

Oh, no, please. They still make those things?

'Kay, would it help if I told you

I once went out on a date

with a woman who used me as a human shield?

A little.

[sighs heavily]

Hey. Here.

Until you find him.

I do love how it glimmers under the fluorescent lights.

It's a heck of a lot bigger

than the first one I got you.

[chuckles]

Hey, do you remember what you got me

on our date?

A snow globe.

You said flowers wilted

and you liked things that lasted.

And you said snow globes were like life,

prettiest when they're turned upside-down.

I said that?

Yeah. I still have it.

Actually, I have a lot of them now.

Here we go!

-Blueberry. -Thank you.

-And here you go. -With extra-extra whipped cream.

-Enjoy. -Thank you.

These are so good.

Not as good as yours, though.

You still make those gorgeous pancakes?

I don't really cook much.

Really?

Your hands are full with the bakery?

Actually, that's a little off, too.

Come on.

There used to be a line going out the door.

Well, the line is now across the street.

A "Cakes, Etc" opened up.

Right across the street?

Full moon tonight.

You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

I have my camera in the car.

So do I.

Pretty cool, huh?

You sure it's okay to be up here?

Yeah. I come up here all the time.

Wow! Look at that moon, huh?

It's beautiful.

[shutters snapping]

How long have you lived here?

In this building?

Oh... about a year.

Before that,

I was in that highrise over on Jackson.

How come you never live in any of your houses?

Well, it's just easier, you know?

You don't have to water the lawn,

you don't have to fix the roof.

It's kind of like

you not wanting to make pancakes, right?

No.

Hey! Remember photo class, junior year?

I remember the darkroom.

I remember you locking us in the darkroom.

That was an accident.

Mm.

Sort of.

You know what I love about photos?

They never change...

even when the people in them do.

You know?

[laughing]

Oh! Check this out. Oh...

Baby, that's going on the website, for sure.

So's this one.

Uh, I don't think so.

[chuckles]

I look like a werewolf.

Ah, well, it is a full moon.

You know...

I did hear that you were back,

and, uh...

I-I wanted to call you, but...

I don't know why I didn't.

It's okay.

I thought about calling you, too.

Once or twice.

[metallic scraping]

Oh, no, no, no.

-No! No! -No, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no. No! No!

Oh! [frustrated groan]

Dammit.

[heavy sigh]

I'll call maintenance. It's not a problem.

Where's my phone?

My battery's dead.

I left my phone in the car.

Help!

Hello!

-Hello! -Hey!

-Anybody! -Up here!

[whistling]

This is just great.

I can't believe this.

Who hasn't spent a night or two up on a rooftop?

Don't worry.

The maintenance crew will be here in a few hours.

Well, they better be. The bakery opens at 5:00.

I'm sorry!

It was the wind.

It was a... force majeure.

Unforeseeable act of nature.

Actually, it was completely foreseeable!

What do you mean?

You just had to bring us up here.

I thought you would like the view.

Just like you had to fix me up.

I was trying to do something nice.

Like sending me off to Paris

and saying that we could work it out?

What?

Just forget it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't hold back now.

You've been waiting years for this one.

You could have come with me.

You could've come back, too.

I guess it doesn't matter now, does it?

Guess not.

[sighs]

[♪♪]

[door opens]

-Hey! -The door.

Nick? Everything all right?

Oh, it's, uh, just the end of a weird date.

It wasn't a date.

Thank you.

Should I ask?

I wouldn't.

You ruined her night twice?

Well, technically, Logan took care of that.

Yeah, well, he's Logan! What did you expect?

You knew that wasn't gonna work!

You set her up.

What? What's that supposed to mean?

You set her up on a bum date

because you knew it would make yourself look better.

Don't be ridiculous.

Look at you. You're a mess.

I spent the night out on a roof.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Yeah. We, uh...

We had a fight.

So? Kim and I have fights.

You're married. You're supposed to.

You think I should call her?

That's a good idea.

Maybe I'll go see her.

Even better.

Who's, uh, doing the cake for your parents' 50th?

I don't know. That's Kim's department.

Come on! Let's go.

Full moon, night on a rooftop...

Your date with him sounds better than mine.

It wasn't.

Maybe this happened for a reason.

Maybe it was fate.

It's not!

Are you sure you don't have feelings for him?

[huffs] Oh, I have feelings.

Annoyance.

I did say some things I shouldn't have, though.

These are for the Sweet 16.

Those are for the baby shower.

Don't get them mixed up.

Okay.

I'm not the one who's distracted by my ex.

I'm not distracted!

[♪♪]

[door opens]

I was going to call you.

I wanted to apologize for last night.

Me too. I totally over-reacted.

No, no. You had every right to be upset.

It was stupid to go up there.

Could've been worse.

Really? How?

At least we got some good pictures.

Well, now that we got that settled,

I'll have one black-and-white cookie.

Okay.

That'll be $2.50, please.

$2.50!

For a black-and-white cookie?

[scoffs]

They used to be, like, 90 cents.

I haven't been here in so long,

I forgot how great it is.

Really? You don't think it's a teardown?

No. Not at all.

Too old-fashioned?

No, it's kind of "retro-cool."

'Cause Danny built it,

and he gave me my first job.

I remember.

[sighing]

Would you look at that line-up?

They stole our cronut recipe,

and yesterday, they were handing out flyers

on our sidewalk.

Whoa!

Right on your sidewalk?

Yeah.

I got an idea.

What?

I saw we out-promote 'em.

Hear me out.

"Marzipan Monday."

"Tiramisu Tuesdays."

"Wedding Cake Wednesdays."

"Thrawberry Thortcake Thursdays."

[laughing]

Hey.

Kyle's parents have their 50th Anniversary coming up

and yours truly's in charge of the cake.

Since when are you in charge of a cake,

other than eating one?

I do a lot of things you don't know about.

I'd like to place an order, please.

Okay.

[Nick]: Are you kidding?

Wow!

These are really amazing.

I'm really impressed.

This is perfect. What do you think?

That one's pretty big.

50 years...

That's pretty big, too.

Okay. Big it is. When's the party?

Saturday.

This Saturday,

and you haven't ordered a cake yet?

I've been sampling.

Is this a pity cake?

They need a cake. You make cakes...

I'm in charge of the cake.

Thanks, Nicky.

By the way, you got a little...

What?

Okay.

[chuckling]

Sweet!

Thanks for the cookie.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Hi!

[♪♪]

A little to the left. Oh, perfect.

Finish setting this one...

Julia?

Kim.

Hey, Kyle! Look who's here!

Hey! Hey!

Kyle! Hi!

It's so good to see you.

What a surprise!

Congratulations on everything.

Thanks.

Your little son is so cute. I saw a photo.

You know, Nick said you looked great,

and you do!

You guys haven't changed a bit.

Well...

So, what are you doing here?

And what a beautiful cake, Julia!

Uh, Nick didn't tell you?

I thought he was in charge of cakes.

Yeah! Yeah. R-Remember, honey?

Yeah, of course.

[laughs]

You already have one, don't you?

No! No.

And even if we did, it is nothing like this.

Where is it?

[inhales sharply]

Dessert table, 3:00.

Oh...

I'll, um...

I'll take this to the kitchen.

Good idea.

[laughing]

Good idea.

Come on. This is so much better.

You have to come to the party tonight.

Oh, I couldn't.

Of course you can.

Kyle's parents always loved you.

They were at your wedding.

What do you say? Tonight?

5:00?

I'd love to.

This is perfect.

[♪♪]

Oh, I'm so sorry, I've been meaning to come by.

I haven't seen you in so long.

I apologize for that.

You know, life, I've been busy with work, traveling...

Uncle Nick, hand off!

You little rat!

All right, let's see those hands.

Go deep!

Oh!

Incomplete pass.

Hey!

This is my godson, Tommy.

Hi, Tommy. Very nice to meet you.

You must be the girl my Uncle Nick likes.

Oh! [laughs]

He never brings the girls around,

so he must really like you.

Gimme that.

Go deep, you.

Ohh!

[laughs]

You look gorgeous.

Thank you. You look good yourself.

Let's say hello. Come.

I told you...

You remember Helen and Ted?

I'm not sure if they'll remember me, but...

We saw you say "I do!"

Oh...

I did.

Yes, you did.

Congratulations.

50 years!

That's wonderful.

It hasn't all been easy.

I'll say.

[laughter]

But I wouldn't want to be alongside anyone else.

Come on. We're at the same table.

Oh. Okay.

Bye.

Kid's got an eye.

Thank you.

Oh, the dreaded "singles" table...

Well, we are single.

And apparently, so are they.

Thank you.

Tommy, why don't you introduce us

to your lovely lady friends?

That's Ashley A.,

Ashley P., Emma M., and Emma G.

Pretty simple. Ashleys and Emmas.

And I'm Nick S., this is Julia M.

Are you guys married?

'Cause you can't sit here if you are.

We're not.

We used to be.

But we're not anymore.

Why not?

Because when we got married, we were too young.

And now you're too old?

Thanks, Ashley P.

I'm Ashley A.

Sometimes the right people get married at the wrong time.

So can't you just

get married again at the right time?

You want to take this?

I believe the key to all of this

is to finish grammar school first,

and then we can revisit the topic.

How about that?

-Yeah, sure. -Yeah.

Sounds good?

Yeah.

[spoon clinking on glass]

[Kyle]: All right, everybody, it's time for speeches!

Would anybody like to say something nice

about my lovely mom and dad?

Nick?

Well, I think I speak

for all of us at the singles table...

[laughter]

Seriously, I've known Helen and Ted

since I was Tommy's age,

and you guys have what we all want--

uh...

true love,

that beautiful, elegant, complicated

love that lasts a lifetime.

So, hoist a glass for the couple that still holds hands

while they're walking down the street

after all these years.

We love you.

To the next 50!

To another 50!

[applause]

Cheers.

[♪♪]

Come on!

[♪♪]

You got good!

I can bust a move.

[tempo slows]

Slow dance?

Do you?

Well...

Tommy and Ashley L-M-N-O-P are doing it.

[♪♪]

I feel like people are watching us.

Well, that's because they want us to announce

that we're getting married...

Oh, well, in that case,

we should probably set a date, then.

All right, then.

Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

I'll bake the cake.

[♪♪]

I had a really nice time tonight.

Me too.

It was like the old days.

You think so?

I do.

Julia...

You know how, when you Photoshop a picture,

you can take out the flaws?

And if you keep Photoshopping, you can get it almost perfect,

but then...

something...

just feels like it's missing?

I don't know,

I guess I'm just trying to say

that sometimes,

the original's best.

Julia!

Hi.

Dylan...

What are you doing here?

Uh, well, I, um, I quit my job, and I'm moving back.

I missed you.

Ahem.

Dylan, uh, t-this is Nick, my--

Old, old friend. Nick.

-Hey. -How are ya?

It was nice to meet you, Nick.

All right, old friend.

Good night.

Good night.

Cake was great.

[footsteps receding]

All right, Tommy, let's get you to bed.

I want to hang out with Uncle Nick.

Ah, we can play some more football tomorrow.

Really?

Touchdown Tuesdays, right?

Is that a thing?

It is now.

So how's Julia?

Oh, she's great.

She's seeing her ex.

Another ex.

Yeah, they've been out to lunch,

they've been out to dinner,

they've had coffee.

How do you know all this?

Because she's now confiding in me

like I'm one of her girlfriends.

Oh, no.

Yeah, I'm afraid I'm in the girlfriend zone.

I'm sorry.

You know, I really thought after the party...

You guys seemed so good together.

Maybe you should tell her how you feel.

I really don't know how I feel.

I think you do.

Want to grab a bite with me and Dylan?

Oh, so you're really

jumping back into this, aren't you?

Hey, you wanted me back in the pool.

I'm in the pool.

I know, I just...

I kind of thought you were over him.

I was, but he's really trying.

Second chances, right?

It's not like he left me for another woman.

He left for a job.

Point is, he left.

Look.

Just don't rush back to the wrong ex, okay?

It's dinner.

Besides... he came back for me.

And Nick walked away again.

I know.

But maybe Nick wouldn't have walked away

if you had told him how you feel.

Thank you, Dr. Phil.

Look...

All I'm saying is

I know whatever happened all those years ago happened,

but there is obviously something between you two.

He had an opening, and he didn't take it.

He just wants to be friends, and that's what we are.

Now, are you coming to dinner,

or are you seeing another patient?

I will clear my calendar.

[cellphone ringing]

Hello, friend.

Is this a bad time?

No. Not at all.

[Julia]: I've been up all night.

I keep thinking about something you said.

What...pearl of wisdom might that be?

"Sometimes the original is best."

Yes. Yeah.

Yes, it is.

Can you come by the bakery when you have some free time?

Hey.

Hi.

Got something for you.

From Kyle's parents.

This is beautiful.

So?

What do you got?

Well...

It's good.

And I was able to keep it

in the spirit of Danny's business name,

so thank you.

You're welcome, though I'm not sure what I did.

You inspired me!

And I feel he wouldn't mind if I did a little remodeling,

so can you recommend a carpenter I can hire?

You're looking at him.

Oh, I wasn't thinking you.

You build houses.

No, Kyle handles all the construction.

I'm sure you have more important things to do.

Let me take some measurements.

Are you sure you wouldn't mind?

I'll pay you, of course.

You can pay me in black-and-white cookies.

You really don't have to do this, Nicky.

It's a piece of cake.

You want to put your money into the upgrading

of the plumbing, the electrical,

we're gonna get some WiFi in here,

but we're gonna keep this, you know,

like we said, retro...

retro-cool.

Great.

Let me get some measurements here.

[cell phone ringing]

Nine and a quarter...

Could you grab that?

[ringing]

Ten and a half...

Hello?

Yes. Hi. Just one second.

It's Elsa.

This is Nick.

Yeah. Oh!

Right, right. Yoga.

Uh, listen...

Can I call you back?

Thanks.

Sorry.

You took up yoga?

That's just a friend of Kim's.

She's trying to set me up.

Oh. That's great.

Yeah, I don't know about this yoga thing, right?

Not really for me.

Yeah... Calamari at Cinara's?

Well, everybody loves their calamari, right?

Yeah.

Hon! Hey!

Hi!

I got coffees.

Mm... [kissing]

Oh!

[chuckles] Dick, right?

Nick.

Nick!

Your down payment.

I'll put together some plans and get right back to you.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

See you, Nick.

Really?

[Nick]: I've given advice on her love life...

He's your chiropractor now?

...and I'm remodeling her bakery.

What are you doing, man?

I have no idea.

These are good!

Gino, pick up that order for Mr. Angelotti right away.

Come on. He's been waiting a while.

Hey, Angelo.

Hey! Nicky! Where have you been?

Working.

The place is packed.

Yeah. You here with Julia?

No, and probably won't be for a while.

Yeah?

What have you done?

Angelo, I don't know how to break it to you, but, uh...

Uh, Nick?

Elsa.

Nick?

Yes. Meet my friend, Angelo. Please.

-Hi. -Hi.

Your table.

Angelo...

you might as well put us right in the kitchen.

Huh! Busy night.

Hmph.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

He gets a little emotional.

Is this okay?

You wanna go somewhere else?

No, no. This is great.

I like being near the kitchen.

Food gets here faster.

Okay.

Let me-- Let me grab your coat.

Thank you.

This way.

...Right back here.

Cozy.

[dishes crashing]

[laughing]

Are they okay back there?

So, um...

Kim tells me you're yoga-phobic.

I wouldn't exactly say that.

It's just, you know...

it's just a little intimidating.

Right.

I like to think of yoga as a journey,

and the journey of a thousand miles

starts with the first step.

I like journeys.

Okay.

You know, they-they have vegan.

Oh, actually, I'm lacto-vegetarian.

Lacto... what?

...Vegetarian.

Does that mean you can eat ice cream?

Oh, yeah, gluten-free ice cream.

Is that any good?

Wait till you try it.

Really?

Hey, do you like football?

Little bit.

Because a client of mine gave me tickets

to tomorrow night's game,

if you're available.

I am very available.

Great. A second date?

Cool!

Second date.

[clink]

[♪♪]

Are you ready?

Here we go.

It's amazing. I love it!

Me too.

Okay, you have to let me pay you.

I'll feel better if I do.

It's not gonna happen.

I have to do something.

Get your apron on.

Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm off sugar and all things white.

No rice, no bread, no cake, no fun.

Really?

It's been two weeks. I feel different.

Better?

No. Starving.

Wow!

What a great place.

Elsa, this is, um, Julia.

Julia, Elsa.

It's so great to meet you.

Oh, Nick let the cat out of the bag...

Cat?

That you two were married.

I think it's so great

that you can be friends.

Time heals all wounds, right?

Are you ready?

Sure.

Bye!

Nice meeting you!

You too!

[door closes]

So, that's her, huh?

She's gorgeous.

Really? I don't see it.

Are you okay?

Of course.

It's just feels really weird seeing him with someone else.

You're with someone else too.

Yeah.

Mrs. Mintz!

The place looks fabulous.

Thank you so much.

I'm having a dinner party this weekend,

and I'm thinking of your red velvet cake.

Oh...

We can do that.

All right!

[♪♪]

Beautiful! Elegant dancers' poses.

Let your soul breathe.

Gorgeous, gorgeous.

Now we're going to transition into Garudasana, eagle pose.

Left leg lifts high over right,

left arm under right arm.

That's it.

Left leg up...

Beautiful! Heart open.

And breathe...

Listen to your body.

What's it saying?

Help?

Now, remember,

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

So, you like her?

Yeah. I do.

Good, because Kim has invited her

for Meatloaf Monday,

which is now Meatless Monday...

Quinoa...

Kale.

Don't you think you're jumping the gun a bit?

Well, that's what I said,

but you know Kim.

Quinoa and kale?

Look, the point is,

you guys are really hitting it off, right?

[sighing]

Yeah, it-- it's just...

Oh, no. Okay.

Let me guess. Um...

Loud sipper?

Close-talker?

Mouth-breather?

Snort-laugh?

All right, you're gonna love this one,

but she just talks weird.

She always talks in clichés, okay?

"Don't count your chickens,"

"Beggars can't be choosers."

"Live life like it's your last day."

Everyone does that!

Not everyone.

You know what her problem is?

She's not Julia.

You're barking up the wrong tree, pal.

Cliché.

Who are those for?

Dylan's office party tonight.

That's tonight?

Yes...

And you are going.

But it's gonna be all couples.

No, it won't.

He invited a lot of his patients.

Oh, great, so a bunch of guys

with bad backs and stiff necks?

It's not like you to turn down a party.

Well...

Maybe that's because I met someone.

What?

When?

Who?

Uh...

Remember that bad date you had?

Which one? There were so many.

Logan.

Logan?

Yeah!

He came in last week.

He needed some pastries for an open house,

and we totally hit it off.

Please tell me he didn't try to sell you a condo.

-Oh, he did. -Leslie...

I can change him.

Besides, I've been making

the same mistakes for so long now,

I like to think of them as traditions.

Wow! This place is amazing.

Hey! There he is!

What a surprise.

[groaning]

Are you limping?

Yoga.

I've never felt so...

-Alive? -Old.

[laughing]

I thought you were coming in

for that adjustment.

Gotta get around to that.

This place is incredible, Nick.

Thanks.

Yeah. How about a tour, huh?

And we're back in the great room.

It's perfect.

I couldn't agree more.

I love it so much

there's a part of me that doesn't want to sell it.

But you are selling it?

Yeah.

Good! Because I would like to make an offer.

Really?

Well, he has been looking for a place.

You can't live in a hotel forever.

It's just you.

Isn't this place a little big?

Well, it's just me for now, but...

I'm hoping not forever.

It's, uh, not even on the market yet.

Good! Then I'll take care of that.

I'll have my broker

send over an offer this afternoon.

[chuckles]

Wow. That's...

A win-win, right?

Right.

Good! What do you say we celebrate?

Julia told me you have a girlfriend.

That's, uh, a bit new.

Old, new... it's all good.

Right.

How about Friday?

I'm free.

Sure.

Okay, good. Good!

Friday it is.

Hey. It's me.

Hi. I'm just getting ready for our double date.

About that...

You want to cancel, don't you?

Do you?

No.

Me either.

Why don't you just tell Elsa you're sick?

No, no, no. I tell Elsa I'm sick,

she's gonna start giving me Chinese herbs

and all these strange remedies.

You're gonna tell Dylan you're sick.

I don't want to tell Dylan I'm sick.

We have tickets

for the ballet tomorrow night.

Dylan likes the ballet?

No. But he's going for me.

What a guy.

Hey, Julia...

Yes?

Never mind. You just...

I'll see you tonight.

Nicky?

We're both dating.

Yeah, it's, uh...

Like a dream come true.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Well... here we are.

Here we are.

[all chuckling]

Uh-uh-uh.

[exhales]

Please.

Just saying. I miss gluten.

No, you don't.

Oh, I do, I do, I do.

Pretzels, pasta, pizza...

I had a dream last night

I was a giant cinnamon bun.

I could never give that stuff up.

Especially when you're with the world's greatest baker.

Aww. Well, let's not get carried away.

You ever tell him about

Chocolate Chip Chernobyl?

You remember that?

Oh, yeah.

Just about the entire dorm remembers that.

[laughs]

What about Petrified Pumpkin Pie?

Nougat Nightmare on Elm Street!

Tapioca Chainsaw Massacre!

Yes!

[Julia and Nick laughing]

Isn't this place fantastic?

It was just opened by one of my patients.

It's really great.

Yeah.

Yeah, actually, those pictures

look like yours, Nick.

[Nick]: Kinda.

[Julia]: They do.

Well, seems you have a fan club, Nick.

Well, Julia always had a better eye than me.

So, the, uh,

Clark Gallery's having

a black-and-white exhibit next week.

Perfect! Let's go!

Yeah.

The, you know, the four of us.

Yeah, I'm not really a gallery guy.

Can I get you some appetizers?

[Nick and Julia]: Calamari.

[chuckles] Calamari, please.

Now, there's a couple that knows what they want.

Uh, yeah, well, they're not a couple,

and we will have crab cakes.

Don't you have that shellfish-allergy thing?

Ah, it just, uh, comes and goes. Right?

How about the veggie platter?

Thank you.

So, why did you guys break up, anyway?

Well, that was pretty much 100% my fault.

No, it wasn't.

Honey, let him speak.

I left for a job.

Your dream job.

We had a dream too.

Well, I probably should have packed

and gone with you.

So, uh, Dylan, I hear you're buying

Nick's house?

Yeah, well, I mean, I have an bid in,

but, um...

I'm thinking of pulling it.

Really?

I was gonna tell you about it,

but I didn't want to ruin the evening.

That's very thoughtful of you.

You know, I just... I'm sorry, I just,

I found something a bit better.

Okay.

Look, that's cool, because I was

thinking about not selling anyway.

Oh! Oh, really?

Yeah, I put a lot

of time and effort into that, you know?

I built that with my hands.

Well, you know what they say--

one man's treasure is another man's trash.

Trash? Okay.

Well, just a figure of speech.

Well, thanks for clarifying, "Doctor."

Oh, so now y-you're questioning my credentials?

Well, one man's doctor

is another man's...

...bone-cracker.

Yeah, I can't believe you married this jerk.

I can't believe you settled for him.

I did not settle,

and this is none of your business, Nick.

I'm just looking out for an old friend.

I can take care of myself.

Obviously not.

Maybe this "friends" thing isn't working out.

I couldn't agree more.

I'm done.

Fine. Me too.

Wha...?

Gluten-free, huh?

[♪♪]

Sorry about that.

It's okay.

But we kind of need to talk.

Okay.

Stop me anytime.

You still have feelings for Julia.

Stop!

Okay.

It's pretty obvious to everyone

except you and her.

Look. You're on a journey, Nick...

but it's not with me.

And that's okay,

because that's what dating's about, right?

I don't know what to say.

I really appreciate that.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, right?

Yes, you're free to eat cookies again.

-Really? -Yes!

Yes! Thank you.

Let me drive you home.

Come on.

You know, I'm gonna catch a cab.

Let me drive you home. Please.

No. I'm-I'm good.

[♪♪]

I'll see you around.

[♪♪]

Evening.

[♪♪]

[exhales]

Ahem.

Uh, you know, I'm going house-hunting tomorrow.

Do you want to come?

I'm sorry, I just, um...

I think we rushed back into things.

What is the matter, Julia?

We were fine before he showed up.

I thought we were.

I'm sorry.

Julia, I do want to be friends, but not "just friends."

I want to be more than friends.

Okay.

What are we, in junior high?

Well, I hope you find what you're looking for.

You too.

[♪♪]

When it rains, it pours.

Take care of yourself.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Thank you! Have a great day.

[Julia]: Bye.

Hi! Great.

Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you.

Hi! Well, we did it.

We moved the line from there to here.

We did.

[quiet chatter]

Then why are you fake-smiling?

I'm not.

[Kim]: Hey!

[Tommy]: Hi!

I thought you guys

were going out for Valentine's Day.

Well, we wanted to stop by

and give you a little housewarming present first.

[wrapping rustling]

For your new home.

Come on in.

And you're all invited next week to my first Meatloaf Monday.

How come we always have meatloaf on Monday?

Because it starts with an "M".

You know what else starts with an "M"?

"Monique."

Monique?

She's a lawyer.

Am I being sued?

No, you're being set up.

Kim, not again.

What he said.

I don't get it, Uncle Nick.

What happened to your girlfriend, huh?

It didn't work out between me and Elsa.

No, your real girlfriend.

Julia.

I'm, uh...

afraid that one didn't work out either.

[sighs] You're a really bad role model.

[adults chuckling]

I know. Sorry.

It's okay.

You'll get it right.

Eventually.

It's time to get going.

Aw, already?

Yeah, we got to get him to grandma's.

I'm taking my wife out for Valentine's Day.

-Nice to see you. -Have fun tonight.

Thanks.

Come on.

We're just gonna leave Uncle Nick here alone?

Don't you worry about Uncle Nick.

I'll be fine.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Hey, I think I found a fixer-upper

out on the waterfront.

And the next project begins.

-That's right. -I'll see you soon.

Have fun tonight!

Thanks for the plant!

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[snap]

[♪♪]

[football game playing quietly on TV]

What?

Are you kidding?

Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.

[computer alert chimes]

Beautiful.

Mm.

Not just any flower.

An icicle flower.

It takes root in the most desolate of places,

against all odds.

Deep.

[chuckles, starts typing]

And your picture?

[beep]

True love.

[beep]

[exhaling]

[sighs]

Mint-chocolate chip?

[beep]

[beep]

She's... out of the picture.

How about that...

bone-cracker?

[beep]

[chuckles]

[typing]

You're not sorry.

Not that this is a date, or anything...

[beep]

[exhales]

Not... getting...

together...

with you?

What say we meet in an hour, then?

[keys clacking]

Make it a half-an-hour.

Yes!

[slaps laptop shut]

[♪♪]

Sorry I'm late.

I had to make a stop.

"Picture This"?

Happy Valentine's Day.

It's the best I could do at the mini-mart.

Thank you, Nicky. Happy Valentine's Day.

You know, I came here to tell you something.

I love you, Julia.

I always have.

You know, we were

the right couple at the wrong time,

but...

now I feel like it's the right time...

[♪♪]

It's the right time.

I love you, too.

Picture this?

[choking up]: I always have.

[♪♪]
