1
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Thanks for tuning in to this week's
episode of Love is on the Air.

2
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,300
Whether you're married, dating, or still
looking for that special someone, Nikki

3
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,580
P is here to answer all your burning
love questions.

4
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:44,080
First up, we've got Alicia C in Tucson,
Arizona.

5
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:47,460
Alicia, how was your heart today?

6
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,060
Not great, Nikki.

7
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,100
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, hon.

8
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,280
Fill me in. Well, my boyfriend of five
years, who I love desperately, just

9
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,800
landed his dream job. Well, Alicia,
that's great news.

10
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:00,460
Two states away.

11
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,720
Okay, I'm starting to see the problem
here.

12
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:06,900
I'm guessing you're not willing to
relocate?

13
00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:11,140
I love my job, and I've worked so hard
to get to where I am. It just doesn't

14
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:15,380
make sense for me. But I really think
he's the one, and I don't know what to

15
00:01:16,060 --> 00:01:19,820
Long distance scares me. Well, if you're
an avid listener of the podcast, then

16
00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:23,880
you know that me and Mr. Right did long
distance for two whole years.

17
00:01:24,180 --> 00:01:25,180
You did?

18
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Oh, yeah.

19
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:32,260
And it was hard, but we made sure that
we saw each other at least every two

20
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:35,500
weeks, and we prioritized communication
above all else.

21
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,360
If he really is your Mr.

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Right, then nothing will get in the way
of you two being together.

23
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,400
Okay, I don't care.

24
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,920
I don't care if he has to send a carrier
pigeon, okay?

25
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:51,580
If he cares, he will make the effort.

26
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,920
But besides, in my experience, distance
makes the heart grow fonder. What is

27
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,420
that? Uh, nothing.

28
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:04,100
Thank you so much for your call, Alicia.
More of your questions and my answers

29
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:05,100
after these short messages.

30
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:08,199
Nikki. I know, I know. I'm dealing with
it, okay? Hold on.

31
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,420
Nikki, what a surprise.

32
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:31,700
I almost didn't hear you.

33
00:02:32,380 --> 00:02:33,660
Banging and screaming.

34
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,200
What can I do for you?

35
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,840
This can't keep happening.

36
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,500
You storming up here and interrupting my
work. I could not agree more.

37
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:44,540
No, you are interrupting my work. I'm
trying to record my podcast.

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,220
That's right, your little podcast.

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,780
I'll have you know that we have over 5
million subscribers, though it's not

40
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:51,120
exactly what I would call little.

41
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:52,700
Well, you know what I have?

42
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,200
A real job. I need to get back to you,
so... Who are you? write jingles for

43
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,800
serial companies, your job is no more
legitimate than mine.

44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,920
You know, ever since you've moved in
here, I cannot get through one recording

45
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:06,200
session without you just ruining
everything.

46
00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:10,160
I can't, I can't keep living like this.
What do you want me to do about it?

47
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,760
Play your piano some other time.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,999
Play my piano?

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,020
Play my, play my, oh, at 6 a .m., suit
her majesty?

50
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:22,820
I just need you to be quiet between the
hours of 12 and 4 p .m.

51
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:26,040
Well, you see, that is when my
creativity is at its peak.

52
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Can't you just record your podcast some
other time?

53
00:03:29,500 --> 00:03:32,660
No, I have listeners across the country.
That's the time zone's sweet spot.

54
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,180
Well, then I guess we're out of sale,
mate.

55
00:03:36,260 --> 00:03:38,420
Well, I've lived here longer, so I have
seniority.

56
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:46,580
And I happen to know that you have a
propane barbecue on your balcony, and it

57
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:48,820
would be such a shame if the
supermarket...

58
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:57,690
You can have noon to four.

59
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:59,830
Thank you.

60
00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:04,990
Thank you for your cooperation.

61
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:16,550
Sorry for the interruption, Mike. I am
back, and I am ready to roll.

62
00:04:17,310 --> 00:04:18,310
Nikki?

63
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:20,470
Mike? We need to talk.

64
00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:24,010
May I ask what this is in regards to?

65
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:28,140
I'll explain over coffee after the show.
Got callers waiting. Let's go.

66
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,800
We're back, and we've got Tabitha from
Salt Lake City on the line.

67
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,140
Tabitha, what's in your heart today?

68
00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:54,300
Mike. I know what you're going to say,
and obviously the noise is not ideal.

69
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,020
Oh, Nikki, I... I know you don't like my
setup, but you know how comfortable I

70
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:00,520
am recording at home. Nikki, honestly, I
just... Hear me out.

71
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,920
I've got a solution.

72
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,160
We just kill my neighbor.

73
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,179
I'm kidding.

74
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:06,300
Obviously, murder's not an option. Who
do you think... Nikki!

75
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:12,000
You podcasters just love the sound of
your own voices, don't you?

76
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,640
Oh, well, right on cue.

77
00:05:21,710 --> 00:05:23,150
I'm so sorry I'm late.

78
00:05:25,550 --> 00:05:26,630
Nicky Parsons.

79
00:05:27,310 --> 00:05:29,770
What a pleasure it is to finally meet
you.

80
00:05:30,670 --> 00:05:36,810
And you as well, Mr... Nicky, this is
Archie Wessel of Wessel Publishing. I'm

81
00:05:36,810 --> 00:05:39,710
Archie Weisel of Weisel Publishing.
Weisel.

82
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:46,650
Oh. As I was about to say, Mr. Weisel
here has expressed deep interest in

83
00:05:46,650 --> 00:05:49,150
adapting your podcast to a book.

84
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,600
I'm sorry.

85
00:05:53,340 --> 00:05:56,320
What? Oh, I'm a long -time listener from
day one.

86
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:01,880
I find your advice to be fair, concise,
and heartfelt, and to hear the love

87
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,240
story unfolding between you and Mr.
Right, well, you can't make that stuff

88
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,660
That's like something straight out of a
fairy tale.

89
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,140
So what I'm envisioning is a deep dive
into the relationship.

90
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,940
We know that you have thousands of
callers calling in every day for advice,

91
00:06:16,940 --> 00:06:20,700
why not give them the inside scoop on
how you and Mr. Wright became the power

92
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:22,460
couple that we all know and love?

93
00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:26,580
We could call it something like finding
Mr.

94
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Wright.

95
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:33,040
I have no words.

96
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:37,180
This is like a dream come true.

97
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,660
I don't know if you know this about me,
but my podcast started out as a weekly

98
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:43,480
column. I'm a writer at heart.

99
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,760
Oh, I'm well aware.

100
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,180
I've done my research. I've read all of
your articles.

101
00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:49,040
You have quite a way with words.

102
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Where do I sign?

103
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,900
Okay, hey, Nikki, let's just pump the
brakes a little here. I'm sure Mr.

104
00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:56,960
Weisel would like to go over some of the
logistics.

105
00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:00,100
Yes, yes, and thank you for bringing
that up, Mike.

106
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:04,300
As you may or may not know, Weisel
Publishing has been my family's legacy

107
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:05,300
generations.

108
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Therefore, it's very important for me to
meet each prospective writer before I

109
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,040
make any commitment.

110
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,200
Get to know them.

111
00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:17,100
I need to make sure that each new
prospective member of the Weisel

112
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,220
family is a good fit.

113
00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:20,840
That they can be trusted.

114
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,880
Naturally.

115
00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:29,200
I would like to invite you to join me at
my annual writer's meet and greet at my

116
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,960
estate, Martha's Vineyard, this weekend.

117
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Count me in.

118
00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:39,770
Well, it's nothing fancy, just a few
prospective writers gathering to share

119
00:07:39,770 --> 00:07:44,250
good food, simulating conversation and
general merriment. I love to host.

120
00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:47,770
Oh, I do hope that you enjoy croquet.

121
00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:49,810
Love croquet.

122
00:07:50,410 --> 00:07:53,210
Well, then I think that we are going to
get along swimmingly.

123
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:56,310
Oh, I've got to scoot. I've got another
meeting.

124
00:07:56,910 --> 00:08:00,850
Oh, and one more thing. I'm afraid I'm
going to have to insist that you bring

125
00:08:00,850 --> 00:08:01,850
along Mr. Wright.

126
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Mr. Wright.

127
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,280
Wright.

128
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:11,540
Well, if I'm going to sign off on a book
about the two of you, I'm going to have

129
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:12,580
to meet the man in question.

130
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400
Otherwise, how will I know he's even
real?

131
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:23,140
Did you see that?

132
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:25,880
I think you were.

133
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,830
Oh, he is going to be so excited. I did.
I can't wait to tell him.

134
00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:38,690
A book deal? Can you believe it? You and
I were thinking you were going to fire

135
00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:40,750
me. Everything's coming up roses.

136
00:08:41,330 --> 00:08:42,990
Nikki, all roses have thorns.

137
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:44,410
What are you talking about?

138
00:08:44,670 --> 00:08:47,170
I don't know. Maybe just the fact that
Mr. Wright doesn't even exist.

139
00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:50,390
Careful. Someone might hear you.

140
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:54,790
Look, I have faked Mr.

141
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:58,690
Wright's existence for long enough.
What's one more weekend? Nikki, you

142
00:08:58,690 --> 00:08:59,259
the man.

143
00:08:59,260 --> 00:09:02,040
He's obviously a huge fan. If he doesn't
meet him this weekend, he's going to

144
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,979
want him next.

145
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:07,180
And I don't know if you forgot that this
whole deal revolves around your love

146
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:09,880
story. No Mr. Right, no book deal.

147
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:15,740
I can't lose this book deal. It's been
my dream since I was a little girl.

148
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:19,100
Not to mention the podcast would have a
major boost.

149
00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:20,340
Not helping.

150
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,240
I don't know. I only see one option.

151
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:27,420
I'm going to have to find a Mr. Right by
tomorrow.

152
00:09:29,749 --> 00:09:32,350
You, you, you could be my Mr. Right.

153
00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:36,710
Nikki, he just met me. He knows who I
am, and I don't know, just thinking out

154
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:39,890
loud here, my wife might be opposed to
that idea. What good are you?

155
00:09:43,110 --> 00:09:44,290
Think, Nikki, think.

156
00:09:46,170 --> 00:09:47,970
Nikki, they're smart.

157
00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:49,730
I believe in you.

158
00:09:50,030 --> 00:09:52,710
You got one day, and...

159
00:10:01,730 --> 00:10:03,370
It's me, Nikki.

160
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:06,650
Nikki Parsons?

161
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:08,750
Japan, huh?

162
00:10:09,070 --> 00:10:10,470
Yeah, that sounds far.

163
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:12,570
How many kids is that?

164
00:10:14,330 --> 00:10:18,810
Hi, this is Nikki Parsons. I believe you
did my teeth cleaning a few years ago.

165
00:10:19,730 --> 00:10:23,330
I just missed you so much. Please, just
give me one more chance.

166
00:10:26,070 --> 00:10:30,210
So that's it. I am strictly out of
options.

167
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,280
I give up.

168
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,160
Really? No one else?

169
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,320
You heard the part about my dental
hygienist, right?

170
00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:40,940
Let me look through my contacts.

171
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,600
I'm sure I could find someone desperate
enough to... Ooh, pizza.

172
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:46,900
Hold on.

173
00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:49,660
Thank you.

174
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,200
Hi.

175
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:54,100
Hi.

176
00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:55,380
Are you okay?

177
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,560
Do I look okay?

178
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Your pizza got delivered to my door
again.

179
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,480
You really need to get your buzzer
fixed, okay?

180
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,380
You really need to fix your attitude.

181
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,300
She sounds like a man.

182
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Who's on the phone?

183
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,600
Nobody. Thank you for the pizza.

184
00:11:17,620 --> 00:11:18,620
Who's this?

185
00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:21,880
They're fumigating the building. We got
kicked out for the long weekend.

186
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:24,280
Great. Just what I needed.

187
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:27,640
Yeah. Tell me about it. I'm new in town
and I don't have a couch to crash on.

188
00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:31,720
Why am I telling you this? I don't know.
Okay. Bye.

189
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Bye -bye then.

190
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:37,920
Ask him! Ask him! Ask him!

191
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,800
I'm sorry, were you saying something?

192
00:11:40,140 --> 00:11:42,620
Are you kidding me? Why didn't you ask
him?

193
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,380
Because I hate him.

194
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,200
Nikki, he needs somewhere to go this
weekend. You're both out of options. Now

195
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,120
go! Okay, fine, fine, fine.

196
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Ugh.

197
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,160
Yeah, we were literally just talking.

198
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,660
You are funny. I had no idea you were so
funny.

199
00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:16,620
What's going on?

200
00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:17,940
What was in that pizza?

201
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:19,380
Nothing.

202
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:24,040
I actually haven't had it yet. I was
wondering if you wanted to split it with

203
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,900
because there's just way too much for
little old me.

204
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:30,800
You want to share your pizza with me?

205
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Yep.

206
00:12:38,170 --> 00:12:40,370
Okay. I have a favor to ask you.

207
00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:45,950
Yeah, yeah, okay.

208
00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:49,310
Laugh it up. You made up a boyfriend.

209
00:12:50,070 --> 00:12:55,850
Yes. You have a fake boyfriend. That is
literally the saddest thing I have ever

210
00:12:55,850 --> 00:13:00,830
heard. I never should have told you. Oh,
no, no, no. I won't tell anyone.

211
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:02,410
It's just really funny.

212
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Okay, well, you can just enjoy sleeping
in your car this weekend. Oh, come on.

213
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:09,720
Out!

214
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,640
Wait!

215
00:13:22,860 --> 00:13:24,220
You can have noon to four.

216
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,700
So you are really desperate, huh?

217
00:13:33,770 --> 00:13:35,250
I'm asking you, aren't I?

218
00:13:35,850 --> 00:13:41,090
If I'm going to do this for you, you
have to be nice to me.

219
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Absolutely not.

220
00:14:13,180 --> 00:14:14,180
What?

221
00:14:14,820 --> 00:14:17,640
We can't use this car. This isn't Mr.
Wright's car.

222
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Need I remind you that I am Mr. Wright,
and this is my car.

223
00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:23,900
Therefore, this is Mr.

224
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:25,660
Wright's car. What is all that?

225
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,300
Oh, those are clothes I bought you.
We're going to return them after the

226
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:30,500
weekend, so don't spill anything.

227
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:32,240
What makes you think I would spill
anything?

228
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:34,560
And why can't I wear my clothes?

229
00:14:38,220 --> 00:14:42,640
Mr. Wright is aspirational. He's a
successful human rights player who

230
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,380
English literature and is an avid
badminton, golf, and croquet player.

231
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:49,680
Not a disheveled jingle writer who
doesn't know how to match his socks.

232
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,880
I can match my socks, thank you. And
need I remind you that Mr. Wright isn't

233
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,340
real, right? Of course I know he isn't
real. But I have gotten very specific

234
00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:01,840
about him in my podcast.

235
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:06,260
And if Archie is as big as a fan as he
claims, we can't be risking any

236
00:15:06,260 --> 00:15:07,260
inconsistencies.

237
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,280
Covering my bases.

238
00:15:16,660 --> 00:15:17,660
Careful with that.

239
00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:18,980
Do we need all this?

240
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,239
I'll drive.

241
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,700
You have a lot of studying to do.

242
00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:26,260
What is this?

243
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,460
That is everything you need to know
about Mr. Wright.

244
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,780
You cannot be serious.

245
00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:09,069
Wow.

246
00:16:09,690 --> 00:16:11,370
So this is how the other half lives,
huh?

247
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:14,970
Okay, so just remember, you need...
Wait.

248
00:16:16,090 --> 00:16:17,530
How did you already stain these pants?

249
00:16:18,070 --> 00:16:18,909
It's fine.

250
00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:20,670
Come on. It's nothing. You can barely
see it.

251
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:22,930
Those were not jeans.

252
00:16:23,150 --> 00:16:24,810
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.

253
00:16:25,310 --> 00:16:26,410
Look at that. What did you do?

254
00:16:27,150 --> 00:16:31,750
How did you not know that you did that?
I don't care about the fact that I did

255
00:16:31,750 --> 00:16:34,730
that. You don't care because you're not
paying for those pants. They were very

256
00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:36,170
expensive. Well, you shouldn't have...

257
00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:41,150
Nikki,

258
00:16:44,130 --> 00:16:46,830
you made it. I was beginning to worry.

259
00:16:47,370 --> 00:16:48,790
Sorry, car troubles.

260
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:51,690
And you must be the mysterious Mr.

261
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:52,910
Wright.

262
00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:55,630
That is me. That's me.

263
00:16:56,710 --> 00:17:01,370
I can't tell you how thrilled I am to
have you both join us.

264
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:04,430
Come, come, come, come. Come join the
rest of the gang.

265
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,560
Thank you.

266
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,640
Now, this is Jack Forrester.

267
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,560
He's an up -and -coming mystery writer.

268
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:26,040
Rumor has it he's a bit of a Sherlock
himself, so all of your secrets will be

269
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,400
revealed eventually.

270
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,200
And that's Dr. Harriet Brown and her
husband, Moody Chandler.

271
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,980
No, that doesn't seem right.

272
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:38,970
I heard Dr.

273
00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:44,210
Brown give a lecture in San Francisco
last year, and it absolutely changed my

274
00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:45,430
life. Nikki!

275
00:17:45,770 --> 00:17:47,350
Oh, what a pleasure.

276
00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:49,510
I am a huge fan of your podcast.

277
00:17:50,010 --> 00:17:53,110
Oh. That episode where you helped that
couple work through their underlying

278
00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:56,250
resentments after they were forced to
move in with their in -laws was truly

279
00:17:56,250 --> 00:18:02,650
inspiring. Thank you so much. That means
a lot, especially coming from you. And

280
00:18:02,650 --> 00:18:05,190
this is my husband, Chandler. How are
you? Yes.

281
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,440
Of course, how could I forget?

282
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:12,840
Chandler Moody. Now, you are an Insta
-poet, is that right? That's correct.

283
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,200
latest poetry slam performance, Between
the Leaves, is going viral as we speak.

284
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,440
Ah, well, we'll have to check that out.

285
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,140
And you must be Mr. Right.

286
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,140
I have goosebumps.

287
00:18:26,460 --> 00:18:27,880
You're exactly as I pictured you.

288
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,100
Ah. Oh, but this is silly. We can't go
on calling you Mr. Right all weekend.

289
00:18:34,780 --> 00:18:36,120
We don't even know your real name.

290
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Grant.

291
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,980
Uh, Brickton.

292
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:49,400
Yeah, uh, Grant Brickton. I come from a
long line of Masons.

293
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,160
Interesting.

294
00:18:52,209 --> 00:18:53,990
Well, I look forward to hearing more
about that.

295
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:57,730
Well, I look forward to telling you all
more about that.

296
00:18:59,170 --> 00:19:03,310
Well, grab your weapon of choice. We are
in the middle of a heated game of

297
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:07,310
bocce. You know, we actually would love
to freshen up a little.

298
00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:08,570
Long drive.

299
00:19:08,750 --> 00:19:09,810
Oh, yes, of course.

300
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:11,910
Let me give you the grand tour.

301
00:19:12,210 --> 00:19:13,210
Come, come, come.

302
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:14,590
Nice to meet you all.

303
00:19:14,910 --> 00:19:16,190
Ciao. Toodle -oo.

304
00:19:19,470 --> 00:19:20,530
And this...

305
00:19:21,020 --> 00:19:22,100
will be your room.

306
00:19:23,420 --> 00:19:25,600
Huh. Right. One bed.

307
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,200
For both of us.

308
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,960
Now, I'm going to leave you two
lovebirds alone, but I'll see you both

309
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,700
'clock for cocktail hour. Ooh.

310
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:35,380
Cocktail hour.

311
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:39,640
So, rock, paper, scissors?

312
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,980
What? No way. I'm taking the bed.

313
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,320
Why should you get the bed?

314
00:19:44,660 --> 00:19:45,800
Because I'm the lady.

315
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,740
Yeah, the lady I'm doing a huge favor
for.

316
00:19:49,100 --> 00:19:53,540
Oh, I am so sorry that I dragged you to
this gorgeous estate where you're going

317
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:57,740
to be served five -star meals and
surrounded by gorgeous scenery and the

318
00:19:57,740 --> 00:19:59,440
intellectual minds of this country.

319
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,180
And you should be thanking me.

320
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,420
Thanking you? Okay, well, you know what
I might do instead of thanking you is go

321
00:20:05,420 --> 00:20:08,360
tell everyone that we're putting on a
big charade.

322
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:11,540
Stop. Fine. We'll alternate.

323
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,160
One night on, one night off.

324
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,680
Alternate.

325
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Okay.

326
00:20:16,540 --> 00:20:19,520
And you know what? Since I'm such a
gentleman, I'll even let you have my

327
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,160
name. Wow, chivalry isn't dead.

328
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Yeah, I'm keeping her alive.

329
00:20:26,660 --> 00:20:28,080
So that could have gone better.

330
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:32,020
Yeah. I'm surprised you don't know your
own boyfriend's name.

331
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,180
Yeah, I don't know why. I just always
called him Mr. Right.

332
00:20:37,860 --> 00:20:43,020
I created this perfect love story with a
perfect man, and it worked.

333
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,760
My listeners responded, and my
subscribers doubled.

334
00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:52,260
Everyone loves Mr. Right. He is the
perfect man.

335
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,480
Well, he doesn't exist.

336
00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:58,780
Exactly.

337
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,620
Good luck with that.

338
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,100
Ooh, swag.

339
00:21:06,260 --> 00:21:07,580
I love free stuff.

340
00:21:12,580 --> 00:21:14,400
Were you born in a barn?

341
00:21:16,940 --> 00:21:18,300
You have to read the card first.

342
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:27,160
Let the games begin.

343
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,020
What do you think that means?

344
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:31,360
I don't know.

345
00:21:32,260 --> 00:21:33,260
Scrabble?

346
00:21:37,140 --> 00:21:43,620
I'm starting us off with a round of
refreshing gin rickies in honor of one

347
00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:44,980
favorite novels of all time.

348
00:21:45,180 --> 00:21:46,300
Can anyone guess?

349
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,720
The Great Gatsby.

350
00:21:48,380 --> 00:21:52,260
The Great Gatsby was like my favorite
novel in high school.

351
00:21:52,660 --> 00:21:54,160
Oh, thank you.

352
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,100
Is this a first edition Huckleberry
Finn? Oh, yes.

353
00:22:00,340 --> 00:22:02,220
That belonged to my husband, actually.

354
00:22:02,460 --> 00:22:04,080
Oh, I didn't know you were married.

355
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:07,220
Yes, going on 15 years now.

356
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,080
Will he be joining us this weekend? No.

357
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,060
He has business overseas.

358
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:21,870
Would you excuse me? I'm I'm gonna go
check on dinner Nikki

359
00:22:21,870 --> 00:22:28,770

what I'll catch

360
00:22:28,770 --> 00:22:33,850
up with you. That's an antique Golden
Age Steinway Just don't break anything.

361
00:22:34,030 --> 00:22:35,030
I'm gonna break anything

362
00:22:48,620 --> 00:22:49,640
She's a beauty, isn't she?

363
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:50,860
Oh, yeah.

364
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,360
Do you play?

365
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,620
I dabble.

366
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:58,740
Dabble. I didn't get a chance to
properly introduce myself.

367
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,160
Jack Forster.

368
00:23:00,540 --> 00:23:02,300
Yeah, no, the mystery writer.

369
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:04,780
Grant Brixton.

370
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,760
Sorry, I must have misheard. I could
have sworn you said Brickton.

371
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,500
What's in this drink?

372
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:13,780
No, it is Brickton.

373
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:19,160
It used to be Brickstone, and my
grandfather, he changed it a long time

374
00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:21,800
This place is pretty impressive, huh?

375
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,460
Did you see the gift basket?

376
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800
Yeah. Yeah, pretty swanky stuff.

377
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:32,260
Hey, did yours come with a note?

378
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:34,300
Let the games begin.

379
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:35,660
Yeah.

380
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:36,780
What do you think that means?

381
00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:38,580
I, uh...

382
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:40,860
I know what it means. You do?

383
00:23:41,060 --> 00:23:46,060
My sources tell me that this long
weekend is more than just a meet and

384
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,460
What are you boys talking about over
here?

385
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:56,200
Harriet and I have it on good authority
that this weekend is actually a test.

386
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,480
And there's only one book deal up for
grabs.

387
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,280
I'm sorry, one book deal?

388
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,820
Well, then why would he invite us all
here?

389
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,060
To assess who the most deserving
candidate is. He's very particular about

390
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:13,019
works with.

391
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:15,400
So how does that work for the two of
you, then?

392
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:16,620
What do you mean?

393
00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:18,960
Well, you're a couple competing for the
same book deal?

394
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:25,280
Well, in my opinion, and Nikki, I'm sure
you can weigh in on this, every

395
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,540
relationship can greatly benefit from a
healthy dose of competition.

396
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:31,240
It helps keep the spark alive.

397
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,860
Harriet and I have a very egalitarian
marriage.

398
00:24:50,110 --> 00:24:54,310
Grant, I would love to hear, in your
words, how you and Nikki met.

399
00:24:56,570 --> 00:24:59,670
In, um, in my words?

400
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:04,450
Yes, I followed your relationship from
Nikki's point of view, but I think we'd

401
00:25:04,450 --> 00:25:06,770
all love to hear your side.

402
00:25:09,550 --> 00:25:14,690
Yeah, right, of course. Um, well, uh...

403
00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:18,530
Oh, yeah, it was, uh...

404
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,040
It was a warm summer night.

405
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,280
It was September.

406
00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:25,900
Right. One of those hot September
nights.

407
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,320
Anyways, I was sitting on a patio having
Italian food.

408
00:25:34,220 --> 00:25:35,220
That's right.

409
00:25:35,580 --> 00:25:36,660
Noodles were involved.

410
00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:38,220
Now I remember.

411
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:41,840
Anyway, there she was.

412
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,800
Just sitting alone at the bar.

413
00:25:45,580 --> 00:25:47,700
The most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.

414
00:25:48,970 --> 00:25:53,070
Couldn't take my eyes off her. I had to
go over and talk to her.

415
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:54,570
Now, this is the best part.

416
00:25:55,250 --> 00:25:56,270
Tell them what you said.

417
00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:05,470
What was that thing I said, sweetie?

418
00:26:08,790 --> 00:26:10,050
Casablanca, honey.

419
00:26:12,050 --> 00:26:13,150
Right. Yes.

420
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,640
Of all the gin joints in all the towns
in all the world, she walks into mine.

421
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,220
I slept like a log last night.

422
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,860
Good morning.

423
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,160
Good morning. Good morning.

424
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:22,800
Sorry to interrupt your moment of
solitude.

425
00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:24,140
Oh, no.

426
00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:28,780
So, who are you really?

427
00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:33,140
I'm sorry, what?

428
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,159
Sorry to be so blunt.

429
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,600
I'm never my best in the morning.

430
00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:38,580
But, yeah.

431
00:27:39,060 --> 00:27:40,060
Who are you?

432
00:27:41,980 --> 00:27:44,300
Brickstone. I could have sworn you said
Brickton.

433
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,160
Right.

434
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:50,740
Yeah. That.

435
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Okay,

436
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:58,260
what gave me up?

437
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,120
For one, you keep getting your name
wrong.

438
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,040
Sloppy storytelling.

439
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:06,540
Not to mention when you lie, you pick at
your left thumbnail.

440
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,200
Now, don't tell me you're... You're an
artist.

441
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,840
A musician, more specifically.

442
00:28:16,060 --> 00:28:17,700
How did you possibly know that?

443
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,520
Every time a song comes on, you play the
chords with your left hand like you're

444
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,720
playing a piano. I do.

445
00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:24,380
You do.

446
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Good morning, boys. Yay!

447
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:29,020
That is very...

448
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Very impressive, Jack, and very bad.
Nikki is going to kill me. Don't worry.

449
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:34,840
Your secret's safe with me.

450
00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:37,320
I don't think anyone else has figured it
out.

451
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,300
Well, I'm Luke.

452
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000
It's a pleasure to meet you, Luke.

453
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,180
So, what's the story?

454
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:23,470
That's the long and short of it. I just
hope that I can pull this off.

455
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:25,550
Well, don't let my figuring it out worry
you.

456
00:29:26,150 --> 00:29:29,730
When you write as many mystery stories
as I do, you pick up on a few things.

457
00:29:31,850 --> 00:29:32,850
Good morning, gentlemen.

458
00:29:33,330 --> 00:29:34,330
There she is.

459
00:29:34,770 --> 00:29:37,290
Jack, would you mind if I just grabbed
my boyfriend for a quick second?

460
00:29:37,550 --> 00:29:38,550
All yours.

461
00:29:38,730 --> 00:29:39,730
Duty calls.

462
00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:42,870
Good morning, sunshine.

463
00:29:43,390 --> 00:29:46,070
Why didn't you wake me up? You just look
so peaceful. I didn't want to disturb

464
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:49,710
you. I am missing valuable face -to
-face time with Archie. How do you think

465
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:52,150
this makes me look? It doesn't make you
look. I hope I'm not interrupting a

466
00:29:52,150 --> 00:29:53,250
lover's quarrel. No.

467
00:29:53,690 --> 00:29:58,490
No? No. We were just arguing about who
wrote all of Shakespeare's plays. I

468
00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:02,110
he couldn't have possibly written them
all, right? My husband and I argue about

469
00:30:02,110 --> 00:30:04,030
that all the time. We're so cute.

470
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:05,510
It's just like us, huh?

471
00:30:05,890 --> 00:30:06,890
Or we used to.

472
00:30:08,210 --> 00:30:12,530
Anywho, if everyone is fed and
caffeinated, I'd like to invite you to

473
00:30:12,530 --> 00:30:13,590
out on the lawn.

474
00:30:14,350 --> 00:30:18,030
I've got something planned that I know
the two of you are really going to

475
00:30:18,730 --> 00:30:20,030
Come, come, come, come.

476
00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:24,570
Hey, hold my hand.

477
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:36,770
Nothing brightens my day like a game of
croquet.

478
00:30:37,250 --> 00:30:38,410
Oh, that rhymes.

479
00:30:39,409 --> 00:30:40,970
Now I'm an insta -poet, too.

480
00:30:42,130 --> 00:30:45,550
I hope you're all ready for some fierce
but fun competition.

481
00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:50,070
Well, you should be a shoe -in, Grant,
considering your family's annual croquet

482
00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:51,710
tournament. Oh, yeah.

483
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:53,970
Yeah, you all better watch out.

484
00:30:57,550 --> 00:30:59,550
I've never played croquet in my life.
What are we going to do?

485
00:31:00,290 --> 00:31:02,830
Sorry. How was I supposed to know we're
going to play croquet?

486
00:31:03,090 --> 00:31:05,130
Oh, I don't know. We're at an estate in
Martha's Vineyard.

487
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:06,550
I think it's safe to assume.

488
00:31:07,050 --> 00:31:08,050
Just calm down.

489
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:10,240
Luckily, croquet is very
straightforward.

490
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,340
You just aim for the hoop, hit the ball,
and believe in yourself.

491
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,640
Very helpful. Thank you. Come on,
lovebirds!

492
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Show us what you're made of!

493
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,400
Just warming up.

494
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:55,520
Next time, game over.

495
00:31:55,740 --> 00:31:56,279
The hoop.

496
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,680
I know. Aim for the hoop. It's very
clear. Thank you. I'm just trying to

497
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,680
you. You're not helping.

498
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,080
That's how it's done.

499
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:12,120
You know you're supposed to be good at
this? I am trying.

500
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,080
Try a bit harder.

501
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Oh, good job.

502
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:21,810
All right, Nikki, you're up.

503
00:32:22,150 --> 00:32:23,150
Good luck.

504
00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:31,230
Oh.

505
00:32:31,770 --> 00:32:37,710
Nice shot, superstar.

506
00:32:38,270 --> 00:32:40,410
You're throwing me off my game. Yeah,
what game?

507
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:42,310
A clean shot, yeah.

508
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:56,500
Oh, well done.

509
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,100
We're so far behind. He owns the house.
What do you expect? What does that have

510
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:03,100
to do with anything?

511
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,300
Hoop. Hoop. Aim for the hoop. The hoop.

512
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:07,500
Aim for the hoop.

513
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,380
Can't get any worse, right?

514
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,940
It's warming up. Yeah.

515
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:17,460
Just a bit rusty. Just a little bit.

516
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,800
Warming up.

517
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:30,300
Nick did, Archie. I'm sure we can all
agree that Grant can have a do -over.

518
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:32,660
Thank you, Archie. Thank you.

519
00:33:35,220 --> 00:33:39,200
Say, Grant, at the family Thanksgiving
tournament, who are you?

520
00:33:40,060 --> 00:33:41,060
The turkey?

521
00:33:57,070 --> 00:34:00,490
Say, Grant, how many tournaments have
you won?

522
00:34:01,950 --> 00:34:03,350
Enough. Yeah.

523
00:34:03,730 --> 00:34:04,730
Yeah, obviously.

524
00:34:05,730 --> 00:34:06,970
Just a little off today.

525
00:34:07,330 --> 00:34:09,429
Just a little off.

526
00:34:13,530 --> 00:34:14,730
Oh! Grant!

527
00:34:15,050 --> 00:34:16,050
Oh, what?

528
00:34:16,070 --> 00:34:19,070
Don't take me down with you. I'm not
taking you down. You are taking me down.

529
00:34:19,090 --> 00:34:20,089
Are you not?

530
00:34:20,090 --> 00:34:21,090
Oh,

531
00:34:23,630 --> 00:34:24,630
oh, sweetie.

532
00:34:24,989 --> 00:34:29,530
Oh, yeah, it's that call, the important
lawyer phone call with the human rights

533
00:34:29,530 --> 00:34:31,310
officer guy.

534
00:34:32,130 --> 00:34:36,469
You know what, guys? I'm just going to
take this, proceed on without me, and

535
00:34:36,469 --> 00:34:38,770
I'll be back.

536
00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:43,210
Wow, trouble in paradise.

537
00:34:47,170 --> 00:34:48,170
I'm going to go.

538
00:34:49,850 --> 00:34:50,850
Yeah.

539
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:01,900
His phone wasn't even... Ooh, there you
go, darling.

540
00:35:20,420 --> 00:35:21,420
Hey.

541
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,430
Hey, look, Nikki, I don't think I can do
this. Okay. No, no, no. I'm sorry.

542
00:35:26,590 --> 00:35:28,930
Okay. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I
mean, aren't we supposed to be this

543
00:35:28,930 --> 00:35:33,430
like perfect couple? I know. Okay. I am
just stressed out and everything is

544
00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:39,990
falling apart. And maybe you were right.
Maybe it was crazy to think this could

545
00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:40,990
work.

546
00:35:41,970 --> 00:35:44,250
We should just cut our losses and go
home.

547
00:35:45,830 --> 00:35:47,010
Just wait, wait.

548
00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:52,750
We've come this far.

549
00:35:54,670 --> 00:35:55,910
We may as well see it through.

550
00:35:56,650 --> 00:35:57,650
We can do this.

551
00:35:58,670 --> 00:35:59,670
You think?

552
00:36:00,590 --> 00:36:01,590
Yeah.

553
00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:05,910
Yeah. I mean, we can't convince them
that I'm any better at croquet.

554
00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:07,950
That's baseball.

555
00:36:08,430 --> 00:36:09,930
Croquet is like this. Whatever.

556
00:36:12,230 --> 00:36:17,730
But we can convince them that we're in
love.

557
00:36:19,230 --> 00:36:20,230
Yeah.

558
00:36:21,210 --> 00:36:22,230
Yeah, we can do that.

559
00:36:22,990 --> 00:36:23,990
We can do this.

560
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:27,040
We've got to be a team.

561
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,200
Deal.

562
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:48,340
Is everything all

563
00:36:48,340 --> 00:36:49,340
right with you two?

564
00:36:49,690 --> 00:36:53,650
Yes, we are so sorry about that. We just
got a little carried away.

565
00:36:55,010 --> 00:36:59,170
Work's been very stressful for Grant. A
lot of human rights issues.

566
00:36:59,510 --> 00:37:03,010
And I know how important this weekend is
to Nikki, and I guess I just cracked

567
00:37:03,010 --> 00:37:04,010
under the pressure.

568
00:37:04,630 --> 00:37:08,670
Well, just the fact that you put your
own work aside to be here for her is a

569
00:37:08,670 --> 00:37:10,490
real testament to your relationship.

570
00:37:11,290 --> 00:37:14,170
The key is to listen and to not place
any blame.

571
00:37:16,430 --> 00:37:19,610
To remember that we are on the same
team.

572
00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:24,050
Am I a lucky man or what?

573
00:37:37,610 --> 00:37:41,010
Hey, I'm going to go for a walk. You
want to come?

574
00:37:42,430 --> 00:37:43,790
Uh, hey, Grant.

575
00:37:44,350 --> 00:37:48,210
I was hoping we could finish our
conversation on the Galveston Treaty and

576
00:37:48,210 --> 00:37:50,950
that'll affect world peace on a global
scale.

577
00:37:51,790 --> 00:37:52,769
Uh -huh.

578
00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:53,770
Uh -huh.

579
00:37:57,470 --> 00:37:59,510
Vicki, Vicki, Vicki. Hey, hey, wait up.

580
00:37:59,790 --> 00:38:02,070
Hi. I thought you were exhausted.

581
00:38:02,590 --> 00:38:05,290
Well, I was until Chandler wanted to
talk about some human rights treaty.

582
00:38:05,670 --> 00:38:06,850
Oof. Good call.

583
00:38:07,170 --> 00:38:09,670
You couldn't have just made Mr. Wright
like a fireman or something?

584
00:38:10,290 --> 00:38:13,090
Well, to be a fireman, you'd have to be
up before noon every day.

585
00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:14,428
How dare you?

586
00:38:14,430 --> 00:38:15,470
I've been up before noon.

587
00:38:15,750 --> 00:38:16,750
Okay. Once.

588
00:38:17,150 --> 00:38:19,230
Because I'm the one doing all the work
here.

589
00:38:20,530 --> 00:38:23,850
People are asking questions, and I don't
know what I'm supposed to tell them

590
00:38:23,850 --> 00:38:26,370
anymore. I have to keep making up
excuses.

591
00:38:27,610 --> 00:38:29,630
We can't let them know that we're
eavesdropping.

592
00:38:30,170 --> 00:38:31,550
Why are we eavesdropping?

593
00:38:31,870 --> 00:38:35,150
If I can gather some intel, then maybe
it'll give me a leg up on the book deal,

594
00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:36,190
you know?

595
00:38:36,770 --> 00:38:38,690
Seems manipulative, but okay.

596
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:44,080
And there's a mystery writer. He's
starting to suspect, I can tell. It

597
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,080
very, very nervous.

598
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,060
No, don't hang up on me. Don't you dare
hang up on me.

599
00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:53,380
I am, because I am upset. Does that mean
nothing to you?

600
00:38:55,740 --> 00:38:56,740
Where?

601
00:38:57,220 --> 00:38:58,520
Where? Where? Down.

602
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,240
I'm down.

603
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:03,620
Where are you taking me?

604
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,200
Stop. Stop.

605
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,080
What are we doing?

606
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,800
Of course your pants are ruined again.

607
00:39:16,180 --> 00:39:17,640
Oh, and whose fault is that, James Bond?

608
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:20,960
Oh, wow.

609
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,000
These are beautiful.

610
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:23,860
Look at all these orchids.

611
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:27,820
Yeah. Wow. You know, Archie isn't
messing around. These things are

612
00:39:28,820 --> 00:39:29,820
Yeah.

613
00:39:30,580 --> 00:39:32,840
But can you please stop pawing at them?

614
00:39:33,060 --> 00:39:36,420
I'm not pawing at them, thank you. I
just don't want you to break anything.

615
00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:38,260
Why do you always think I'm going to
ruin everything?

616
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,100
I didn't do that. You did that.

617
00:39:43,300 --> 00:39:46,780
Okay, I just want to get through this
weekend without any disaster.

618
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,000
Oh, no, no, no. Wow.

619
00:39:50,340 --> 00:39:53,380
Oh, no, no, no. Looks like I'm not the
one we've got to worry about. No, no,

620
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,480
Help me.

621
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,040
Oh, I thought I heard voices in here.

622
00:40:00,580 --> 00:40:06,160
Hi, Archie. We were admiring your
beautiful orchid collection. Oh, yes.

623
00:40:07,020 --> 00:40:08,100
They're like my babies.

624
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,320
My husband and I have been collecting
them for years.

625
00:40:11,340 --> 00:40:12,520
And this one.

626
00:40:12,740 --> 00:40:14,420
This is so unique.

627
00:40:14,740 --> 00:40:15,740
Oh, yes.

628
00:40:15,820 --> 00:40:20,540
This is the golden moon orchid. You can
only find it in India.

629
00:40:20,780 --> 00:40:21,780
It's very rare.

630
00:40:22,260 --> 00:40:27,020
Legend has it, if tended properly, it
can bring you fortune and prosperity.

631
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,800
Well, you must be taking very good care
of it then.

632
00:40:32,940 --> 00:40:35,060
I got it at the annual orchid auction.

633
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:36,500
That's where I met my husband.

634
00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:40,250
We were in a bidding war, and we decided
to share custody.

635
00:40:41,050 --> 00:40:46,650
These are all worth a small fortune, but
this one is priceless to me.

636
00:40:47,950 --> 00:40:50,830
A small fortune? No, no.

637
00:40:51,930 --> 00:40:55,010
Oh, I've got to take this. Excuse me.

638
00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:59,710
Okay. It's going to be fine, okay?

639
00:41:00,030 --> 00:41:04,110
Just go find another pot, and I'm going
to salvage as much soil as I can. Okay?

640
00:41:04,610 --> 00:41:05,610
Okay.

641
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:16,919
Are you blind?

642
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,920
We can't use this pot. He's going to
know. He's not going to know.

643
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:22,860
You heard him. These are his babies.

644
00:41:23,220 --> 00:41:24,220
You need to calm down.

645
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,440
I'm never going to get this book deal
now.

646
00:41:26,660 --> 00:41:28,840
Look, it's going to be fine, okay?
Watch, watch, watch, watch.

647
00:41:29,460 --> 00:41:31,200
You put that in there.

648
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,520
Let's see.

649
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:34,980
No, it's good. It's good.

650
00:41:36,020 --> 00:41:37,020
See?

651
00:41:38,740 --> 00:41:39,740
Good as new.

652
00:41:40,580 --> 00:41:41,580
He's going to know.

653
00:41:41,820 --> 00:41:43,680
Look, if it's alive, then what's the
difference, okay?

654
00:41:44,540 --> 00:41:45,499
Come on.

655
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:46,419
You know what?

656
00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:49,480
You just need to get your mind off of
this, okay?

657
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,280
Yeah, okay.

658
00:41:55,060 --> 00:41:56,060
Okay.

659
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,020
Mr. Rice is an excellent badminton
player.

660
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:06,500
Obviously.

661
00:42:07,020 --> 00:42:10,300
So how about we go over the basics and
take it from there?

662
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:12,020
Why don't we just hit the birdie, huh?

663
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,080
Okay.

664
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,500
I don't want to go over the rules first,
like how to serve properly. I'm just

665
00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:23,000
trying to avoid a whole other croquet
disaster.

666
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,220
You know, I think I got this.

667
00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:27,580
All right.

668
00:42:28,420 --> 00:42:29,440
We'll start off slow.

669
00:42:48,350 --> 00:42:49,350
Be good with your luck.

670
00:43:27,950 --> 00:43:30,790
I believe in badminton terms. That's
what they call a winner.

671
00:43:31,630 --> 00:43:34,770
Yeah, I coached in high school, college.

672
00:43:35,770 --> 00:43:36,770
Badminton's kind of my thing.

673
00:43:38,170 --> 00:43:40,650
You coached badminton?

674
00:43:44,070 --> 00:43:45,630
Came in handy just now, didn't it?

675
00:43:46,670 --> 00:43:47,870
Why didn't you tell me?

676
00:43:48,130 --> 00:43:51,490
I didn't want to ruin the opportunity to
take that smug look off your face.

677
00:43:52,370 --> 00:43:54,090
You are just... Amazing.

678
00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:55,470
I know.

679
00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:58,850
You two up for a game of doubles?

680
00:43:59,970 --> 00:44:01,270
Maybe you redeem yourself?

681
00:44:03,310 --> 00:44:04,650
What? He knows I'm kidding.

682
00:44:04,870 --> 00:44:05,870
Right, Grant?

683
00:44:06,330 --> 00:44:07,330
Yeah, you betcha.

684
00:44:07,830 --> 00:44:08,970
Let's spin for serve. Yep.

685
00:44:09,310 --> 00:44:11,730
What? Oh, that sucked. Let's go.

686
00:44:12,970 --> 00:44:13,970
I'll take the back.

687
00:44:16,590 --> 00:44:17,590
You got that.

688
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:31,680
No, no, no.

689
00:45:01,390 --> 00:45:02,390
Got that one?

690
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:39,330
The teamwork, the silent communication,
the athleticism.

691
00:45:39,530 --> 00:45:42,150
See, that is what makes a power couple.

692
00:45:43,050 --> 00:45:49,010
And a valiant effort from Harriet. And
Chandler, too. A game well played by

693
00:45:49,430 --> 00:45:51,850
You should see me play them when my
wrist isn't acting up.

694
00:45:52,250 --> 00:45:54,530
No one likes a poor loser, Chandler.

695
00:45:55,570 --> 00:45:59,790
Now, the winning couple, I'm going to
gift you with a real treat.

696
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,120
Something that helps me gain a new
perspective.

697
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:05,320
Congratulations.

698
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,520
Thank you, Archie.

699
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:11,020
Oh, no, no, no. You earned it. You
deserve it. Now, come, come, come. Let's

700
00:46:11,020 --> 00:46:12,280
go get cleaned up for dinner.

701
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:21,400
Hearing about your dynamic is one

702
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:26,400
thing, but to see the two of you in
action, that was something to behold.

703
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,580
Archie, you're too kind.

704
00:46:29,130 --> 00:46:31,690
No, no, no, no, no. You have to give
yourself credit.

705
00:46:33,330 --> 00:46:34,450
Relationships can be hard.

706
00:46:34,810 --> 00:46:37,450
But you two seem to have something
really special here.

707
00:46:37,790 --> 00:46:42,110
I can tell by the way you two look at
each other. Well, it's not always easy.

708
00:46:42,110 --> 00:46:44,990
mean, she can be pretty stubborn and
kind of bossy, and sometimes when she

709
00:46:44,990 --> 00:46:51,730
doesn't have things just right... But,
um... But it's her

710
00:46:51,730 --> 00:46:54,410
heart that always wins me back.

711
00:46:55,410 --> 00:46:57,370
She's just got this really special soul.

712
00:46:57,830 --> 00:46:58,830
Oh.

713
00:47:01,930 --> 00:47:06,250
You two must think I'm a silly old fool,
but I'm a hopeless romantic.

714
00:47:06,770 --> 00:47:08,690
I'm a sucker for love.

715
00:47:10,030 --> 00:47:13,670
I'm going to go and I'm going to round
up the rest of the gang.

716
00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:18,190
Iggy, I have such a good feeling about
you.

717
00:47:23,890 --> 00:47:30,010
A special soul? I don't know, okay? I
was put on the spot. Besides, I'm not

718
00:47:30,010 --> 00:47:30,959
writer here.

719
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,260
Well, either way, I think you bought it.

720
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,920
I think you did.

721
00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:42,480
I just don't understand how you can say
that he's derivative.

722
00:47:42,660 --> 00:47:46,340
He's one of the most original authors of
our time. Oh, give me a break.

723
00:47:46,620 --> 00:47:49,440
His prose are ripped directly from the
pages of Tolstoy.

724
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,160
Harriet has a valid point.

725
00:47:52,780 --> 00:47:56,960
Now, Nikki, you've been silent for this
entire debate. I'm sure you have some

726
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,000
insights for us.

727
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,200
I haven't.

728
00:48:00,730 --> 00:48:06,770
read this particular book, so I don't
have any opinions to share on

729
00:48:06,770 --> 00:48:09,410
said piece.

730
00:48:10,350 --> 00:48:15,610
Oh. Well, perhaps you could share with
us some of the books that have

731
00:48:15,610 --> 00:48:17,010
you over the past few years.

732
00:48:18,130 --> 00:48:24,930
Oh. I would have to say The Parisian
Rendezvous.

733
00:48:27,690 --> 00:48:30,610
Yeah. I also love the Four Seasons of
Lola Mae.

734
00:48:35,910 --> 00:48:37,150
I like romance.

735
00:48:37,890 --> 00:48:39,290
Romance. How adorable.

736
00:48:39,730 --> 00:48:40,730
Right.

737
00:48:42,850 --> 00:48:46,630
Well, actually, romance is one of the
top grossing literary genres in the

738
00:48:47,990 --> 00:48:52,710
Well, I don't mind admitting that I, for
one, cannot resist a good romantic

739
00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:54,290
story every now and then.

740
00:48:54,670 --> 00:48:57,930
I mean, we all need a little escapism,
right? Yeah, I was just going to say how

741
00:48:57,930 --> 00:48:59,550
much I adore the genre.

742
00:48:59,830 --> 00:49:01,670
I love Pride and Prejudice.

743
00:49:01,910 --> 00:49:06,790
Speaking of romance, Grant, I would love
to hear more about your love story with

744
00:49:06,790 --> 00:49:07,990
Nikki. Yeah.

745
00:49:08,890 --> 00:49:10,370
What would you like to hear?

746
00:49:11,730 --> 00:49:13,930
When was the first time you said, I love
you?

747
00:49:14,770 --> 00:49:18,470
Well, I wanted it to be special.

748
00:49:19,330 --> 00:49:23,110
I take the words, I love you, very
seriously.

749
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:26,820
And so I waited.

750
00:49:28,580 --> 00:49:31,540
And waited and waited.

751
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:34,740
Until I knew I was sure.

752
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,240
Until I knew it was real.

753
00:49:40,180 --> 00:49:41,840
But there was no denying it.

754
00:49:42,700 --> 00:49:46,900
I was head over heels, and I needed her
to know.

755
00:49:48,260 --> 00:49:54,120
And so one afternoon, I snuck into her
apartment, and I filled the room with

756
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,120
favorite flower.

757
00:49:56,790 --> 00:49:57,790
Lily's.

758
00:49:58,010 --> 00:50:00,690
And I got her favorite pizza from the
place on the corner.

759
00:50:01,830 --> 00:50:04,990
Pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, and extra
cheese.

760
00:50:07,730 --> 00:50:12,050
And as soon as he walked in, I just
knew.

761
00:50:13,410 --> 00:50:15,970
He didn't have to say the words. His
actions said it all.

762
00:50:16,690 --> 00:50:18,950
It was just another night at home.

763
00:50:20,590 --> 00:50:21,730
Just the two of us.

764
00:50:23,710 --> 00:50:24,990
But this time was different.

765
00:50:26,570 --> 00:50:29,950
Because this time it was real.

766
00:50:31,090 --> 00:50:32,090
Yeah.

767
00:50:32,770 --> 00:50:38,750
It was just the two of us and thousands
and thousands of flowers.

768
00:50:41,450 --> 00:50:42,710
To true love.

769
00:50:44,550 --> 00:50:46,090
To true love.

770
00:50:46,670 --> 00:50:47,670
To true love.

771
00:50:51,450 --> 00:50:52,450
Well...

772
00:50:53,070 --> 00:50:58,150
Now I'd like to invite you all to join
me in the home theater downstairs

773
00:50:58,150 --> 00:51:00,890
in honor of our own happy couple.

774
00:51:01,250 --> 00:51:04,470
We will be screening Casablanca.

775
00:51:26,510 --> 00:51:29,150
It's your turn to take the bed tonight,
remember?

776
00:51:29,890 --> 00:51:30,890
Oh.

777
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:35,390
I'm already fed up. I've got all my
stuff.

778
00:51:36,750 --> 00:51:38,330
It's not so bad. You keep the bed.

779
00:51:39,410 --> 00:51:40,410
Thank you.

780
00:51:40,470 --> 00:51:41,470
Yeah.

781
00:51:59,370 --> 00:52:00,370
What are you writing?

782
00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:04,450
Uh, nothing, really.

783
00:52:07,750 --> 00:52:14,570
Uh, okay, well, um, every once in a
while when a song, lyric, or idea pops

784
00:52:14,570 --> 00:52:16,490
my head, I just jot it down.

785
00:52:19,230 --> 00:52:22,050
Ah, you mean for one of your jingles.

786
00:52:23,130 --> 00:52:25,270
No, not for one of my jingles.

787
00:52:26,010 --> 00:52:29,790
Believe it or not, I actually had
greater aspirations for myself at one

788
00:52:31,410 --> 00:52:32,850
I'm a songwriter.

789
00:52:34,510 --> 00:52:35,510
Folk, specifically.

790
00:52:36,850 --> 00:52:37,930
That's so cool.

791
00:52:38,770 --> 00:52:40,410
Is there anything I would have heard?

792
00:52:41,010 --> 00:52:47,010
Well, I sold a couple songs a few years
ago, but the industry can be pretty

793
00:52:47,010 --> 00:52:52,790
inconsistent, and so I picked up jingle
writing to make ends meet, and I don't

794
00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:55,680
know. guess that took up so much of my
time that the songwriting just kind of

795
00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:02,060
fell to the wayside. So to answer your
question, probably not.

796
00:53:04,940 --> 00:53:06,060
Can I read some?

797
00:53:10,620 --> 00:53:11,620
Yeah.

798
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:16,660
Yeah. I mean, I don't know how good
it'll be without the music, you know,

799
00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:19,500
why not?

800
00:53:29,130 --> 00:53:30,130
This is like poetry.

801
00:53:31,090 --> 00:53:32,090
Thanks.

802
00:53:32,750 --> 00:53:36,330
Yeah, I mean, I've got the words. I just
need to let the music come to me now.

803
00:53:39,850 --> 00:53:41,070
Seriously, Luke, you've got a gift.

804
00:53:42,590 --> 00:53:45,390
You should perform this, you know, get
it out there.

805
00:53:45,670 --> 00:53:46,670
Oh, no, no, no.

806
00:53:46,950 --> 00:53:49,250
No, I'm not a performer. I'm just a
songwriter.

807
00:53:51,310 --> 00:53:54,990
Well, I don't know about that. You put
out quite the performance tonight.

808
00:53:55,990 --> 00:53:57,390
That was pretty good, huh? Yeah.

809
00:53:57,900 --> 00:53:59,700
Because I'm tapping into my inner Mr.
Right.

810
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:11,080
How did you know

811
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,860
that lilies are my favorite flower?

812
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:21,560
Oh. I don't know. I guess I just noticed
that every Sunday,

813
00:54:21,740 --> 00:54:26,160
without fail, you come back from the
farmer's market with an apple strudel.

814
00:54:27,710 --> 00:54:28,850
And a bouquet of fresh lilies.

815
00:54:29,390 --> 00:54:30,770
So I just put two and two together.

816
00:54:33,590 --> 00:54:35,030
Aren't you observant?

817
00:54:35,450 --> 00:54:37,690
Yeah, living upstairs from someone you
pick up on a thing or two.

818
00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:39,750
Oh, yeah?

819
00:54:40,450 --> 00:54:41,650
What else have you noticed?

820
00:54:43,190 --> 00:54:48,250
Well, uh, judging from the amount of
takeout that you order, you either hate

821
00:54:48,250 --> 00:54:51,370
cooking or are very bad at it.

822
00:54:52,010 --> 00:54:53,070
Correct on both counts.

823
00:54:55,030 --> 00:55:00,890
Oh, you put onions, and mushrooms on
your pizza, which tells me you have no

824
00:55:00,890 --> 00:55:01,890
taste.

825
00:55:02,850 --> 00:55:04,950
Hey! I'm just telling it like it is.

826
00:55:05,990 --> 00:55:11,790
Oh, and every Friday night, instead of
going out with your friends, you have a

827
00:55:11,790 --> 00:55:17,150
slumber party with your niece, which
tells me that you put family above all,

828
00:55:17,150 --> 00:55:18,230
you have a big heart.

829
00:55:19,550 --> 00:55:22,290
Or do you mean a special soul?

830
00:55:22,670 --> 00:55:24,390
Yes. It's my heart.

831
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,880
What have you picked up about me?

832
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:31,840
Oh, you mean besides the loud footsteps
and the incessant jingle playing?

833
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:33,520
That's the obvious, yeah.

834
00:55:33,940 --> 00:55:38,060
Well, I know you subscribe to the Boston
Voice and the Massachusetts

835
00:55:38,060 --> 00:55:42,880
Independent, which makes me think you
have an interest in current events and

836
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:44,280
politics. Correct.

837
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:50,320
You also subscribe to Beautiful Botany,
which makes me think you have a bit of a

838
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,320
green thumb.

839
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,640
I may have a pretty expensive herb
garden.

840
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,200
Oh, and every Saturday morning you make
yourself the full breakfast.

841
00:56:00,500 --> 00:56:03,380
I mean, I'm talking pancakes and bacon,
the worst.

842
00:56:04,020 --> 00:56:05,840
The smell is intoxicating.

843
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:07,120
You can smell that.

844
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:08,200
Mm -hmm.

845
00:56:09,260 --> 00:56:11,660
Maybe when we're back in the city you
should come over and I'll make you my

846
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:12,660
famous French toast.

847
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:17,540
I'd like that.

848
00:56:25,740 --> 00:56:26,900
We should get some sleep.

849
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:28,220
Yeah.

850
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,720
Yeah, big day tomorrow.

851
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,080
Mm -hmm.

852
00:56:34,580 --> 00:56:35,940
Good night, Luke. Good night, Nikki.

853
00:56:47,820 --> 00:56:51,320
Hello? Hello, updates here, please. I'm
going crazy.

854
00:57:05,610 --> 00:57:07,150
Are you calling me in the middle of the
night?

855
00:57:07,550 --> 00:57:08,550
It's 10 .30.

856
00:57:08,870 --> 00:57:10,190
Oh, really?

857
00:57:11,210 --> 00:57:13,290
Man, time feels like it doesn't exist
here.

858
00:57:13,550 --> 00:57:15,370
Well, so you're actually having fun.

859
00:57:15,690 --> 00:57:19,970
Yeah. I mean, it's been stressful, but
good overall.

860
00:57:20,730 --> 00:57:23,410
Wow, so you're actually pulling this
off, then.

861
00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:24,950
Was there ever any doubt?

862
00:57:25,750 --> 00:57:29,550
Yeah. Yeah, no, many doubts, yeah. Well,
thank you for the vote of confidence.

863
00:57:29,830 --> 00:57:33,610
Well, a bit of a crazy scheme, and this
guy's a bit of a wild card.

864
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:40,800
It was a bit of an adjustment period,
but we talked it out, and it turns out

865
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:41,860
make a pretty good team.

866
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,000
No, no, no, no, no. Nikki, don't do
this.

867
00:57:47,300 --> 00:57:48,238
Don't do what?

868
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:49,960
You're totally falling for this guy.

869
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:51,840
No, I'm not.

870
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,180
You got that twinkle in your voice.

871
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,140
Voices don't twinkle.

872
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,360
You know what I mean.

873
00:57:58,700 --> 00:58:02,780
Nikki, this isn't good, okay? You
understand that this is...

874
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:07,000
that he's not actually Mr.

875
00:58:07,220 --> 00:58:08,220
Right, right?

876
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,360
Mike, I have got this under control.

877
00:58:11,940 --> 00:58:14,600
I understand that, Matthew. I do, I
understand.

878
00:58:14,900 --> 00:58:19,020
But you're my husband, and I wanted you
here. No, Nikki, wait. Nikki.

879
00:58:22,460 --> 00:58:29,120
But if you could just put yourself in my
position for one... I miss you.

880
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,560
Fine.

881
00:58:36,660 --> 00:58:38,600
Fine, we can talk about it in the
morning

882
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,000
What are we doing on a boat?

883
00:59:13,620 --> 00:59:15,140
I just needed to get away.

884
00:59:15,820 --> 00:59:16,820
Something happened.

885
00:59:17,900 --> 00:59:18,900
Oh, no.

886
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:20,320
Someone on to us?

887
00:59:21,100 --> 00:59:22,440
No. No one knows.

888
00:59:24,340 --> 00:59:25,340
Except for Jack.

889
00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:28,060
What? What? Uh, what?

890
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,280
Jack knows. No.

891
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:34,260
Luke! Okay, yes, but I didn't say
anything to him, okay? He just sort of

892
00:59:34,260 --> 00:59:34,979
it out.

893
00:59:34,980 --> 00:59:36,100
Everything is falling apart.

894
00:59:36,500 --> 00:59:37,540
No, it's not, okay?

895
00:59:37,860 --> 00:59:40,080
Jack's a nice guy. He's not going to say
anything.

896
00:59:42,180 --> 00:59:43,220
What happened?

897
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:48,900
I was up late last night and I heard
these voices upstairs and I went and I

898
00:59:48,900 --> 00:59:52,780
might have eavesdropped on Archie
arguing with his husband.

899
00:59:53,180 --> 00:59:54,860
Who's alive, by the way.

900
00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:58,120
So wait, you just overheard some things
you weren't supposed to? What's the big

901
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,760
deal? He caught me.

902
01:00:02,820 --> 01:00:03,820
What did he say?

903
01:00:04,980 --> 01:00:08,860
Nothing. I just froze and I was like,
okay, bye.

904
01:00:09,140 --> 01:00:10,660
And I ran away.

905
01:00:11,980 --> 01:00:13,600
Well, that's one way to handle things.

906
01:00:14,100 --> 01:00:15,440
He looks really upset.

907
01:00:15,740 --> 01:00:17,900
I feel like I messed everything up.

908
01:00:18,260 --> 01:00:19,960
Look, all you need to do is apologize.

909
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,600
No. He wants nothing to do with me,
okay? He basically ran away from me this

910
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,540
morning. Well, what choice do you have?

911
01:00:29,220 --> 01:00:30,720
Throw myself off this boat.

912
01:00:31,260 --> 01:00:34,040
Or you could face it head on.

913
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,880
I mean, you help people deal with their
interpersonal relationships for a

914
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,810
living. Maybe you could help turn this
whole thing around for him.

915
01:00:45,310 --> 01:00:46,310
You're right.

916
01:00:47,950 --> 01:00:48,970
I'm going to go talk to him.

917
01:00:51,270 --> 01:00:53,190
You're really good at this advice stuff,
Tina.

918
01:00:54,290 --> 01:00:55,290
I learn from the best.

919
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,180
Permission to enter?

920
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,100
Nikki. I really wanted to apologize
about last night.

921
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:17,480
There's absolutely no need.

922
01:01:17,740 --> 01:01:22,120
No, it was a total invasion of your
privacy, and I should have known better.

923
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,400
And I shouldn't have been so evasive
this morning.

924
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,640
I'm not behaving like myself lately.

925
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,320
Obviously, there's been some tension
between my husband and I.

926
01:01:34,820 --> 01:01:38,920
Well, no pressure, but if you want to
talk about it...

927
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:40,720
I'm all ears.

928
01:01:41,380 --> 01:01:42,660
You are so sweet.

929
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,040
But I wouldn't want to impose. No, no,
not at all.

930
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,400
I mean, this is kind of what I do.

931
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,420
I'd be happy to help if I can.

932
01:01:53,660 --> 01:01:57,880
Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get
a professional point of view.

933
01:02:05,180 --> 01:02:07,400
Now, don't get me wrong. I am...

934
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:12,120
Very proud of Matthew for striking out
on his own and starting his own company.

935
01:02:12,340 --> 01:02:18,380
But with him being in London half the
year, I can't help but feel...

936
01:02:18,380 --> 01:02:22,040
Abandoned. Exactly.

937
01:02:23,340 --> 01:02:27,200
I mean, it's difficult when the dynamic
in any relationship shifts.

938
01:02:27,700 --> 01:02:31,340
Your husband taking on this new venture
has become his priority.

939
01:02:31,740 --> 01:02:35,280
Whereas in the past, you were always his
priority.

940
01:02:36,020 --> 01:02:37,020
Yes.

941
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,400
We have to understand that he's entitled
to put himself first.

942
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:47,660
And forgive me for saying it, but maybe
it's your turn to

943
01:02:47,660 --> 01:02:49,620
prioritize people and others as well.

944
01:02:51,500 --> 01:02:56,020
Maybe it was unfair to expect him to fly
all the way back here for a weekend.

945
01:02:58,020 --> 01:03:01,140
He is working so hard, and I really am
so proud of him.

946
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:03,480
Then show him.

947
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,460
How? You're saying that he's always
shown up for you in the past?

948
01:03:09,020 --> 01:03:11,620
Maybe it's your turn to show up for him.

949
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,040
We should probably go and join the
others.

950
01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:18,300
Yeah, we should.

951
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Huh.

952
01:03:24,140 --> 01:03:25,140
What's that?

953
01:03:25,900 --> 01:03:29,400
I could have sworn that pot was
Paracasa.

954
01:03:32,380 --> 01:03:33,940
Yeah, about that.

955
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,740
Oh, well, it looks stunning in blue.

956
01:04:26,650 --> 01:04:29,350
Oh, Grant, you are a renaissance man.

957
01:04:29,550 --> 01:04:31,230
Is there anything you can't do?

958
01:04:31,690 --> 01:04:33,170
Well, my croquet's pretty bad.

959
01:04:33,990 --> 01:04:35,290
And he's funny, too.

960
01:04:35,950 --> 01:04:38,010
Nicky, you are one lucky woman.

961
01:04:39,470 --> 01:04:43,110
Sorry. Well, Nicky, I think we have
something to get to, don't we?

962
01:04:43,590 --> 01:04:45,310
Oh, yes, yes.

963
01:04:45,550 --> 01:04:49,010
And we will go and fetch the pilot.
Come, come, come.

964
01:04:49,750 --> 01:04:51,890
For our badminton winners.

965
01:04:58,320 --> 01:04:59,320
Well, this is it.

966
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:03,020
Well, what are we waiting for?

967
01:05:06,860 --> 01:05:07,440
Can

968
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:14,500
you

969
01:05:14,500 --> 01:05:16,380
believe this? This is insane.

970
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,920
I can't remember what it's like.

971
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,360
To hold one you love by your side.

972
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:38,160
Should I open it?

973
01:05:38,580 --> 01:05:39,620
I'm going to open it.

974
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:41,900
Open it. I'm opening it.

975
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:43,960
It's nice and chilled.

976
01:05:46,300 --> 01:05:47,980
I have never had champagne.

977
01:05:49,300 --> 01:05:50,300
You're joking.

978
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,280
I've never once had champagne. You've
never had champagne. I'm not fancy.

979
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:56,780
Well, I feel like you should pop it then
if you've never had it. Why don't you

980
01:05:56,780 --> 01:05:58,020
teach me? Do you know how?

981
01:05:58,600 --> 01:05:59,600
No.

982
01:05:59,940 --> 01:06:00,940
Show me.

983
01:06:01,340 --> 01:06:02,340
Oh!

984
01:06:07,180 --> 01:06:08,200
Oh, my gosh. I hear your heart attack.

985
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:09,900
Oh, my gosh.

986
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:11,820
Bubbly? No, please.

987
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:13,200
Bubbly?

988
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:16,860
So kind. So kind.

989
01:06:18,260 --> 01:06:20,500
So the music finally came to you, huh?

990
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,920
The piano.

991
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:28,180
Yeah, I guess it did.

992
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,160
What does it feel like playing for an
audience?

993
01:06:32,940 --> 01:06:34,740
Well, it helped that I didn't know I had
one.

994
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,500
You were so talented.

995
01:06:39,140 --> 01:06:40,360
Clearly everyone agrees.

996
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:42,320
Thanks.

997
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,760
You know, I've actually been thinking
about our conversation yesterday, and I

998
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:48,760
think you're right.

999
01:06:49,940 --> 01:06:51,500
Life's too short not to do what you
love.

1000
01:06:53,300 --> 01:06:55,980
Does that mean you're going to stop
writing jingles?

1001
01:06:56,620 --> 01:06:58,000
Well, you'd like that, wouldn't you?

1002
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:00,760
No,

1003
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:06,240
I can't quit just yet, but I am going to
devote more time to my songwriting.

1004
01:07:07,050 --> 01:07:08,710
You know, maybe try out some open mics.

1005
01:07:10,370 --> 01:07:13,330
Well, know that you'll have at least one
fan in the audience.

1006
01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:16,910
That's good to know.

1007
01:07:20,190 --> 01:07:23,730
You know, I gotta say, you've kind of
inspired me.

1008
01:07:23,970 --> 01:07:28,350
I mean, you've found something that you
love, that you clearly have a talent

1009
01:07:28,350 --> 01:07:30,130
for, and you've made a career out of it.

1010
01:07:30,350 --> 01:07:32,130
A very successful one at that.

1011
01:07:32,470 --> 01:07:36,290
Do I detect a... Touch of sincerity in
your voice.

1012
01:07:36,530 --> 01:07:38,690
Well, don't let it get around because
it'll ruin my reputation.

1013
01:07:41,590 --> 01:07:44,990
Well, I have to admit, I didn't always
set out to do this.

1014
01:07:45,850 --> 01:07:49,290
I was just that friend you'd always go
to whenever you needed advice.

1015
01:07:49,930 --> 01:07:52,570
Because what I really wanted to be was a
writer.

1016
01:07:54,010 --> 01:07:57,190
So when I got my first job working at a
newspaper and they asked me what my

1017
01:07:57,190 --> 01:07:59,850
strengths were, it was just the first
thing that came to mind.

1018
01:08:01,130 --> 01:08:02,590
So if you wanted to be...

1019
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,040
A writer?

1020
01:08:04,060 --> 01:08:05,860
How did you get into podcasting?

1021
01:08:06,460 --> 01:08:07,880
Hmm, that's a funny story.

1022
01:08:08,340 --> 01:08:13,920
So my now producer, Mike, he had written
in asking for advice on how to propose

1023
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:15,640
to his now wife, Angela.

1024
01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:19,760
He's kind of hopeless when it comes to
romance.

1025
01:08:20,340 --> 01:08:26,220
And so when she said yes, he was just so
happy. He just offered me the podcast.

1026
01:08:28,300 --> 01:08:29,899
Fate works in mysterious ways.

1027
01:08:30,779 --> 01:08:32,160
It does, doesn't it?

1028
01:08:34,540 --> 01:08:37,200
Anyway, podcasting has been such a
dream.

1029
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:42,800
It's way more personal, and I get to
build a dialogue with my listeners and

1030
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:44,220
the emotions behind their questions.

1031
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,500
It's got to be tough, though, isn't it?
I mean, helping people through their

1032
01:08:49,500 --> 01:08:50,520
problems all day long?

1033
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,819
No, no, I actually really like it.

1034
01:08:55,359 --> 01:08:56,880
Helping people feels good.

1035
01:08:58,220 --> 01:09:01,740
A lot of my listeners call in when
they're at their most vulnerable, when

1036
01:09:01,740 --> 01:09:02,819
put their trust in me.

1037
01:09:03,310 --> 01:09:05,950
The least I can do is give up my own
life.

1038
01:09:22,149 --> 01:09:23,149
Nikki,

1039
01:09:23,350 --> 01:09:24,350
what's the holdup?

1040
01:09:24,910 --> 01:09:25,910
I'm coming.

1041
01:09:27,350 --> 01:09:30,310
I just, I can't get this clasp done up.

1042
01:09:35,390 --> 01:09:36,390
What?

1043
01:09:37,770 --> 01:09:42,149
Uh, nothing. You just... You look really
nice.

1044
01:09:45,050 --> 01:09:46,050
Thank you.

1045
01:09:46,970 --> 01:09:47,970
Yeah.

1046
01:09:49,210 --> 01:09:50,210
Do you mind?

1047
01:09:50,370 --> 01:09:51,370
Oh, yeah.

1048
01:10:09,480 --> 01:10:10,480
My pleasure.

1049
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:46,820
I think it's safe to say you pulled it
off.

1050
01:10:47,580 --> 01:10:49,300
Well, it's not over yet.

1051
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,980
After seeing you together this weekend,
no one in this house would believe

1052
01:10:53,980 --> 01:10:54,980
you're not a real couple.

1053
01:10:55,820 --> 01:10:56,820
Yeah.

1054
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,100
Put on a pretty good show, didn't we?

1055
01:11:00,780 --> 01:11:02,320
I'm not convinced it was all a show.

1056
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:07,100
What are you getting at there, Perot?

1057
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:09,820
Don't make me spell out what you already
know.

1058
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,200
Okay, okay, you got me.

1059
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:14,280
Again, but...

1060
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:17,940
And how do I know it's real for her,
too?

1061
01:11:18,900 --> 01:11:20,160
By using your eyes?

1062
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,760
Trust me, she feels the same way.

1063
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,260
No, see, you don't get it.

1064
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:32,900
This perfect man she created, he is the
antithesis of what I am. He's polished,

1065
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,140
he went to Harvard, he wears cardigans.

1066
01:11:35,700 --> 01:11:39,060
What if she's just developed feelings
for the man that I'm pretending to be?

1067
01:11:39,420 --> 01:11:42,560
The first step in solving any mystery is
to go to the source.

1068
01:11:45,220 --> 01:11:46,960
What? Talk to her.

1069
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:49,960
Fine.

1070
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:52,240
You win.

1071
01:11:53,140 --> 01:11:54,140
I know.

1072
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:01,800
You're a man, Mystery.

1073
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:10,100
Mickey, come.

1074
01:12:10,580 --> 01:12:11,580
Sit with me.

1075
01:12:15,430 --> 01:12:16,810
You wanted to see me?

1076
01:12:17,850 --> 01:12:18,850
Yes.

1077
01:12:20,950 --> 01:12:24,330
So, how do you think this weekend went?

1078
01:12:25,070 --> 01:12:28,530
Do you see yourself as a good fit for
Weissel Publishing?

1079
01:12:30,970 --> 01:12:34,350
Uh, well, I think this weekend went
really well.

1080
01:12:35,650 --> 01:12:39,610
As for whether or not I'm a good fit,
wouldn't that be your decision to make?

1081
01:12:41,070 --> 01:12:42,610
I think it's a two -way street.

1082
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,300
Well, then... Yes.

1083
01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:50,680
Yes, I think I'm a great fit.

1084
01:12:52,020 --> 01:12:57,760
So do I.

1085
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,280
You do?

1086
01:13:02,420 --> 01:13:04,920
Does that mean I've got the book deal?

1087
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,640
Welcome to Weissel Publishing, dear.

1088
01:13:08,580 --> 01:13:11,780
Thank you. Thank you so much. Oh, my
gosh.

1089
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:13,140
I'm so excited.

1090
01:13:13,710 --> 01:13:15,710
Well, I'm excited to have you on board.

1091
01:13:16,490 --> 01:13:21,330
Oh, and that reminds me. I am having a
charity event on my yacht next month,

1092
01:13:21,330 --> 01:13:22,470
I would like you to be there.

1093
01:13:22,910 --> 01:13:24,650
I have some people I want you to meet.

1094
01:13:25,030 --> 01:13:26,430
Yes, I would love to.

1095
01:13:27,130 --> 01:13:30,510
Oh, and you'll have to bring Grant, of
course. It wouldn't be the same without

1096
01:13:30,510 --> 01:13:31,630
him. Of course.

1097
01:13:32,110 --> 01:13:33,110
We'll both be there.

1098
01:13:34,010 --> 01:13:35,010
Splendid.

1099
01:13:44,350 --> 01:13:45,350
Nikki, hey.

1100
01:13:46,450 --> 01:13:49,350
There you are. Look, I have something to
tell you. Thank you.

1101
01:13:49,970 --> 01:13:53,570
Say hello to Weissel Publishing's newest
author.

1102
01:13:53,890 --> 01:13:55,350
You got it. I got it. Oh, my God.

1103
01:13:56,130 --> 01:13:57,130
It's amazing.

1104
01:13:58,010 --> 01:14:00,150
It's all thanks to you. Oh, no.

1105
01:14:00,370 --> 01:14:01,570
I can't take any credit.

1106
01:14:02,370 --> 01:14:03,370
Maybe a little.

1107
01:14:04,170 --> 01:14:05,230
This is amazing.

1108
01:14:05,670 --> 01:14:07,010
Congratulations. Thank you.

1109
01:14:07,570 --> 01:14:10,970
Oh, and next month he's planning this
huge event and he wants the book to be

1110
01:14:10,970 --> 01:14:14,060
there. Yeah, it's going to be a huge
networking opportunity.

1111
01:14:14,660 --> 01:14:15,660
Right.

1112
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,680
Well, you mean he wants you and Grant to
be there, right?

1113
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,940
Yeah. I mean, if that's okay.

1114
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,840
Well, I don't know, Nick. I didn't
really sign up to play your fake

1115
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:27,840
forever.

1116
01:14:28,780 --> 01:14:30,200
Well, no, it wouldn't be forever.

1117
01:14:30,580 --> 01:14:33,100
It would just be for this one event.

1118
01:14:35,180 --> 01:14:36,180
And then what?

1119
01:14:36,580 --> 01:14:38,840
I don't know. I haven't thought that far
ahead.

1120
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:40,880
Well, maybe you should. I mean...

1121
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,480
Maybe it's time you start thinking about
something other than yourself.

1122
01:14:48,380 --> 01:14:49,380
Whoa.

1123
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,920
I thought this weekend went so well. I
thought we were having a good time.

1124
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:00,580
We were, we were, we were, okay? But
that's just... Maybe that's part of the

1125
01:15:00,580 --> 01:15:01,580
problem.

1126
01:15:01,860 --> 01:15:04,760
See, I don't want to be your fake
boyfriend anymore.

1127
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:07,280
What are you saying?

1128
01:15:08,860 --> 01:15:10,900
I'm saying that I have feelings for you.

1129
01:15:12,490 --> 01:15:14,770
And I think you share those feelings,
too.

1130
01:15:15,830 --> 01:15:22,110
But what I don't know is if those
feelings are for me or for Grant

1131
01:15:23,810 --> 01:15:25,650
Brickton. Whatever, Nikki.

1132
01:15:25,910 --> 01:15:26,910
Come on.

1133
01:15:27,670 --> 01:15:28,670
Okay.

1134
01:15:29,110 --> 01:15:32,590
This is, like, a lot to take in right
now.

1135
01:15:34,130 --> 01:15:38,470
Obviously, I am having feelings for you.

1136
01:15:39,430 --> 01:15:42,770
But I just, I never imagined when I
invited you that there would be this

1137
01:15:42,770 --> 01:15:46,670
chance that this could turn into
something real. Of course, neither did

1138
01:15:46,710 --> 01:15:49,290
but... I mean, is it?

1139
01:15:53,510 --> 01:15:54,850
Is it real?

1140
01:15:56,810 --> 01:16:00,750
I don't know.

1141
01:16:05,470 --> 01:16:08,410
But the only way this works is if you
stay great.

1142
01:16:09,740 --> 01:16:13,120
If we tell the truth, then I lose
everything.

1143
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:17,840
Well, I can't ask you to do that.

1144
01:16:26,220 --> 01:16:27,220
Luke?

1145
01:16:27,660 --> 01:16:30,940
I'm just... I'm gonna go.

1146
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:34,520
It's okay.

1147
01:16:36,340 --> 01:16:37,340
I'm gonna go.

1148
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,060
Well, what am I gonna tell everyone?

1149
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:41,040
I don't know.

1150
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:42,800
You're the writer.

1151
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:44,660
You'll think of something.

1152
01:17:06,020 --> 01:17:07,300
Good morning, Nicky.

1153
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Good morning, everyone.

1154
01:17:12,220 --> 01:17:13,220
Where's Grant?

1155
01:17:13,940 --> 01:17:16,140
Oh, he had to leave late last night.

1156
01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:18,160
Really?

1157
01:17:18,460 --> 01:17:19,620
What pulled him away?

1158
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,200
A work emergency.

1159
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:25,080
It's confidential.

1160
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:28,760
Interesting.

1161
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,240
You know, I just saw Archie in the
gardens looking for you.

1162
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:34,520
Oh.

1163
01:17:35,020 --> 01:17:36,960
He said you and him needed to have a
little chat.

1164
01:17:38,510 --> 01:17:40,210
Well, um, excuse me then.

1165
01:17:59,390 --> 01:18:00,390
Hi, Archie.

1166
01:18:02,130 --> 01:18:04,610
I found this note under my door this
morning.

1167
01:18:05,330 --> 01:18:06,330
It's from Grant.

1168
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:09,640
Or should I say Luke?

1169
01:18:10,780 --> 01:18:13,040
R .C., I can explain. There's no need.

1170
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,000
Mr. Wright explains everything in the
note.

1171
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:21,180
I have to say, Nikki, I'm extremely
disappointed.

1172
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:24,980
I thought we'd built a trust here.

1173
01:18:25,700 --> 01:18:27,400
I'm not going to deny any of this.

1174
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,400
I respect you too much to lie to you
anymore.

1175
01:18:30,940 --> 01:18:33,980
I understand that we cannot work
together anymore, and I...

1176
01:18:34,730 --> 01:18:36,710
I'm very sorry for wasting your time.

1177
01:18:39,090 --> 01:18:40,330
I'll show myself out.

1178
01:19:03,210 --> 01:19:04,430
How did I not see it?

1179
01:19:04,830 --> 01:19:06,070
Am I really that blind?

1180
01:19:07,430 --> 01:19:09,590
Don't be so hard on yourself. They were
very convincing.

1181
01:19:09,910 --> 01:19:11,490
I just feel so foolish.

1182
01:19:12,070 --> 01:19:15,670
I've invested so much time in a
relationship that turns out to be a

1183
01:19:16,150 --> 01:19:19,230
I wouldn't say that the entire
relationship was a sham.

1184
01:19:21,690 --> 01:19:22,690
What do you mean?

1185
01:19:23,890 --> 01:19:27,890
Well, sure, it started off as a scheme
to secure her book deal.

1186
01:19:29,210 --> 01:19:30,310
But in the end...

1187
01:19:31,050 --> 01:19:33,990
Don't you think they're both walking
away with something far more valuable?

1188
01:19:36,690 --> 01:19:37,690
Love.

1189
01:19:38,810 --> 01:19:42,410
But if he loved her, how could he betray
her like this?

1190
01:19:43,790 --> 01:19:45,810
I'm not sure that he did.

1191
01:19:58,130 --> 01:19:59,130
Oh.

1192
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,040
Archie knows everything?

1193
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,400
Yep.

1194
01:20:03,700 --> 01:20:06,940
And I'm assuming everyone else at the
estate knows as well?

1195
01:20:07,220 --> 01:20:09,960
I think it's safe to assume, yes.

1196
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,640
Well, this isn't great.

1197
01:20:14,660 --> 01:20:19,440
I know. I'm sorry. It started off really
well, and then I just ruined

1198
01:20:19,440 --> 01:20:20,440
everything.

1199
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:25,320
Not only did I lose the book deal, but
now I'm at risk of being exposed to the

1200
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:26,320
fraud.

1201
01:20:27,020 --> 01:20:28,480
Why don't we...

1202
01:20:28,860 --> 01:20:30,840
Come clean on the podcast. You can
expose yourself.

1203
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:32,460
I can't do that.

1204
01:20:32,780 --> 01:20:33,780
Why not?

1205
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:37,940
Oh, I don't know. Maybe because I'm
going to lose the trust of all my

1206
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:41,600
The network will pull the podcast, and
then both of our lives will completely

1207
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:42,600
fall apart.

1208
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:48,760
Listen, Nikki, as your producer, yeah,
it's a bit of a risk. But as your

1209
01:20:48,820 --> 01:20:52,280
I mean, come on. I think it's time we
lose this whole Mr. Right thing.

1210
01:20:52,860 --> 01:20:56,380
For years, you've sacrificed your love
life for this facade.

1211
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,500
Sometimes I don't know if you're doing
it for the podcast or if you're doing it

1212
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:02,500
because you're scared.

1213
01:21:02,740 --> 01:21:03,740
I'm not scared.

1214
01:21:04,580 --> 01:21:07,540
I just know what I want, and I don't
think it's out there.

1215
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:10,820
Do you know what you want?

1216
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:12,760
What about Luke?

1217
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,300
My point exactly. I think that I finally
found something real, and then the

1218
01:21:17,300 --> 01:21:19,920
moment things get hard, he just lets me
down.

1219
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:24,180
I mean, people come to me because I have
figured out the secret to a perfect

1220
01:21:24,180 --> 01:21:25,180
relationship.

1221
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:28,520
Perfect man didn't exist.

1222
01:21:28,900 --> 01:21:30,500
No, you're wrong about that.

1223
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:36,520
People come to you for your heartfelt
advice on their complicated, messy, real

1224
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:37,520
relationships.

1225
01:21:38,660 --> 01:21:40,360
Something you should probably have, too.

1226
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:55,300
Archie, hi.

1227
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:57,160
Hello, Nikki.

1228
01:21:58,460 --> 01:22:00,240
Mike, what a pleasure to see you.

1229
01:22:01,980 --> 01:22:02,980
May I?

1230
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,000
Please come in.

1231
01:22:15,020 --> 01:22:16,280
I'll cut straight to the chase.

1232
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:22,240
Upon further reflection, I would like to
reinstate your book deal.

1233
01:22:22,860 --> 01:22:23,860
You would?

1234
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:26,980
Yes. You have the power to help people,
Nikki.

1235
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:28,640
I've seen it firsthand.

1236
01:22:29,540 --> 01:22:32,900
After our talk, I've decided to join my
husband in London.

1237
01:22:34,060 --> 01:22:35,060
You were right.

1238
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:39,260
Relationships are about give and take,
and it's about time that I started

1239
01:22:39,260 --> 01:22:40,260
back for once.

1240
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:45,140
Well, that's wonderful, Archie, but I
lied to you.

1241
01:22:46,180 --> 01:22:52,320
Mr. Wright may have been a fiction, but
over this past weekend, I think I've

1242
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,740
seen your real story unfold before my
very eyes.

1243
01:22:56,240 --> 01:23:02,920
Oh. No, um, Luke and I aren't. Nikki,
you may be the relationship expert, but

1244
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,660
I've got a few years on you, and I know
a real thing when I see it.

1245
01:23:07,460 --> 01:23:09,260
Luke doesn't want to have anything to do
with me.

1246
01:23:09,700 --> 01:23:14,780
I mean, he basically tried to ruin my
career, so... Oh, Luke didn't write that

1247
01:23:14,780 --> 01:23:16,200
letter. Chandler did.

1248
01:23:17,060 --> 01:23:20,480
I'm sorry. I probably should have led
with that.

1249
01:23:21,420 --> 01:23:23,320
I've got to go. I've got to catch a
flight.

1250
01:23:23,980 --> 01:23:24,980
Nikki.

1251
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,140
Arcee, thank you.

1252
01:23:31,440 --> 01:23:33,680
No, thank you.

1253
01:23:34,700 --> 01:23:38,560
And may I be so bold to offer you a
little relationship advice?

1254
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,520
Go get him.

1255
01:23:52,620 --> 01:23:53,620
No!

1256
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,340
waiting for? Go! Go get him!

1257
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,200
Hi.

1258
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:19,720
Hi.

1259
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:22,440
I'm looking for Luke.

1260
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:24,720
Oh, I'm sorry. He's not here right now.

1261
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:28,100
Sorry. I'm Nancy.

1262
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,180
I'm the realtor. Are you here for the
showing?

1263
01:24:30,990 --> 01:24:31,990
The showing?

1264
01:24:32,490 --> 01:24:33,490
Of the apartment.

1265
01:24:33,790 --> 01:24:34,790
He's moving?

1266
01:24:35,470 --> 01:24:36,470
Yes.

1267
01:24:36,670 --> 01:24:37,730
So no showing then?

1268
01:24:38,250 --> 01:24:40,870
No. I'm sorry to have bothered you.
Okay.

1269
01:24:54,610 --> 01:25:00,010
He's gone. I have no idea where he is. I
have no idea how to get a hold of him.

1270
01:25:00,590 --> 01:25:01,590
What do I do?

1271
01:25:01,970 --> 01:25:04,330
You can chime in here anytime you want,
Mike.

1272
01:25:04,950 --> 01:25:06,970
I think I have an idea.

1273
01:25:09,750 --> 01:25:13,070
Thanks for tuning in to this week's
episode of Love is on the Air.

1274
01:25:13,630 --> 01:25:17,210
I'm Nikki P, and I'm here to answer all
your burning love questions.

1275
01:25:18,150 --> 01:25:23,910
This week's episode is going to be a bit
different because the love problem we

1276
01:25:23,910 --> 01:25:27,130
are going to be solving is mine.

1277
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:34,700
And before I dive in, I just wanted to
say how grateful I am that you've

1278
01:25:34,700 --> 01:25:37,660
me to guide you through the ups and
flows of your relationship.

1279
01:25:39,140 --> 01:25:42,800
And I want to reassure you that all of
my advice came from the heart.

1280
01:25:43,620 --> 01:25:48,960
But I'm afraid I haven't been completely
honest with you about my own

1281
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:53,300
relationship or lack thereof.

1282
01:25:54,460 --> 01:25:56,860
And the reason why I am coming clean
today.

1283
01:25:57,470 --> 01:26:01,850
is because I feel like I have found my
real Mr. Right.

1284
01:26:02,450 --> 01:26:09,270
He's nothing like what I've described
over the years. He wears graphic tees

1285
01:26:09,270 --> 01:26:10,630
mismatched socks.

1286
01:26:12,130 --> 01:26:18,670
And he's not a human rights lawyer with
a penthouse or a fancy car. He's

1287
01:26:18,670 --> 01:26:20,350
an artist.

1288
01:26:21,710 --> 01:26:23,130
He challenges me.

1289
01:26:23,950 --> 01:26:25,430
He makes me laugh.

1290
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:28,420
He's nothing like what I've imagined.

1291
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,420
He's so much better than all of that.

1292
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,340
Anyway, I understand if I have lost some
of your trust.

1293
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,200
I deserve that. My love story is
perfect.

1294
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:45,980
And neither am I.

1295
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:55,100
But I hope over time I can still prove
to you that I am worthy.

1296
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:04,580
And maybe, like in all relationships,
hopefully we can use this experience to

1297
01:27:04,580 --> 01:27:05,580
help us grow.

1298
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:18,300
Well, it's official.

1299
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,420
Yesterday's episode was our highest
rated yet.

1300
01:27:23,460 --> 01:27:26,640
And it's been 24 hours and still
nothing.

1301
01:27:27,950 --> 01:27:29,270
Maybe he just didn't see it.

1302
01:27:30,270 --> 01:27:33,930
Or maybe he did, and he still wants to
have nothing to do with me.

1303
01:27:34,230 --> 01:27:36,950
Don't. Don't do that. Don't lose hope
just yet.

1304
01:27:42,330 --> 01:27:43,630
Hello. Hi.

1305
01:27:44,750 --> 01:27:46,710
I'm working on showing more empathy.

1306
01:27:47,950 --> 01:27:50,150
All right. I'll, uh, see you later.

1307
01:28:03,300 --> 01:28:04,300
Luke.

1308
01:28:05,180 --> 01:28:06,180
Hey.

1309
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:11,720
Wait,

1310
01:28:13,100 --> 01:28:15,580
how did you get into my apartment?

1311
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:20,640
Oh, I may have gotten a little help from
Mike.

1312
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:22,640
No.

1313
01:28:26,300 --> 01:28:29,840
So you listened to the podcast. What
podcast?

1314
01:28:33,290 --> 01:28:34,430
Yeah, I listen to the podcast.

1315
01:28:38,310 --> 01:28:41,570
So is this your way of saying that you
forgive me?

1316
01:28:44,450 --> 01:28:45,450
No.

1317
01:28:47,130 --> 01:28:48,990
This is my way of saying that I love
you.

1318
01:29:40,910 --> 01:29:47,790
I got this feeling, I can't describe
This magic in the air, the world has

1319
01:29:47,790 --> 01:29:54,450
alive And when I see you, you make my
pulse rise I never knew that I

1320
01:29:54,450 --> 01:30:00,850
could be so hypnotized I still feel
nearly your touch, baby The way your

1321
01:30:00,850 --> 01:30:07,310
body's moving me And I don't know where
this soul will go,

1322
01:30:07,690 --> 01:30:08,690
oh no

1323
01:30:37,820 --> 01:30:43,420
I've never fallen in love so deep.

1324
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,360
I trip, I fall. I just can't find my
feet.

1325
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:51,160
If I don't try now, this camp will slip
away.

1326
01:30:51,620 --> 01:30:55,880
I'll bury all my doubts and I won't be
afraid to do this.
