1
00:01:57,705 --> 00:01:58,903
Your alarm clock again?

2
00:01:59,354 --> 00:02:02,664
I don't know what it is. It's like the
second it starts cooling off, my body

3
00:02:02,665 --> 00:02:03,733
just wants to oversleep.

4
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,497
I will say, though, giving you a set of
keys was the best thing that I ever did.

5
00:02:07,817 --> 00:02:10,404
Hiring me in the first place is the best
thing you ever did.

6
00:02:11,046 --> 00:02:12,371
You know, I can't argue with that.

7
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:16,711
Now we just need to find a way to
increase business by, like, tenfold.

8
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:18,549
Oh, we will.

9
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:20,815
Don't you worry. And we're going to do
it our way.

10
00:02:21,115 --> 00:02:26,055
Like my motto says, serve local, shop
local, sell local. And that big business

11
00:02:26,056 --> 00:02:29,283
stuff. I mean, when my parents started
the Crafty Companion, they wanted this

12
00:02:29,284 --> 00:02:33,451
be a family business, and I plan on
keeping it that way. You are a rebel,

13
00:02:33,452 --> 00:02:34,391
love it.

14
00:02:34,394 --> 00:02:38,048
Well, if I was really a rebel, I'd go
ahead with that coffee cart idea that

15
00:02:38,049 --> 00:02:39,224
had. That's a great idea.

16
00:02:39,461 --> 00:02:43,008
I have to go all the way across. Oh,
hey, Judith.

17
00:02:43,222 --> 00:02:46,644
How's our favorite landlady doing today?
I'm a little cranky this morning.

18
00:02:46,984 --> 00:02:48,162
Does that answer your question?

19
00:02:48,588 --> 00:02:50,853
That does not sound like the Judith we
know and love.

20
00:02:51,069 --> 00:02:54,533
I was supposed to see my brother this
weekend, but he canceled.

21
00:02:54,788 --> 00:02:58,968
I also get to babysit my nephew, but
all... All Lloyd does is work, work,

22
00:02:59,525 --> 00:03:03,222
I'm used to it.

23
00:03:03,543 --> 00:03:07,947
Anyway, my nephew plays too many video
games and it's souring his sweet little

24
00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:09,016
brain.

25
00:03:09,402 --> 00:03:10,619
I need crayons.

26
00:03:11,946 --> 00:03:16,821
Nothing opens up your imagination like a
big box of crayons. Oh, absolutely.

27
00:03:17,140 --> 00:03:18,551
And this one is on us.

28
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:21,740
No, no, no. I insist on paying. I'll put
it on my tab.

29
00:03:22,144 --> 00:03:24,111
And besides, I think I need a few more
things.

30
00:03:26,485 --> 00:03:31,636
We have a wonderful coloring book by
local elementary students and some cool

31
00:03:31,637 --> 00:03:32,617
colored pencils.

32
00:03:32,619 --> 00:03:37,322
Fill a bag for me, please. I'm on a
mission to keep my nephew off his video

33
00:03:37,323 --> 00:03:40,892
machine. It's going to be creative if it
takes every ounce of energy I have

34
00:03:40,893 --> 00:03:43,138
left. One day your nephew will thank you
for it.

35
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:47,650
Well, my brother has no appreciation for
art. Oh, he's a financial whiz, but

36
00:03:47,651 --> 00:03:49,166
there's more to life than making money.

37
00:03:49,488 --> 00:03:52,289
The world always needs more artists. And
more crafters.

38
00:03:52,844 --> 00:03:57,741
Amen. Oh, and I just realized today is
the first, and I don't think the lease

39
00:03:57,742 --> 00:03:59,300
has been renewed yet. I haven't seen it.

40
00:03:59,859 --> 00:04:03,706
Must have slipped my mind. I'll get it
to you as soon as I can. But don't

41
00:04:03,857 --> 00:04:08,067
Nothing will change. The Crafty
Companion is a staple of this town. The

42
00:04:08,068 --> 00:04:09,136
community loves you.

43
00:04:09,821 --> 00:04:11,768
The new lease is just a formality.

44
00:04:12,024 --> 00:04:14,887
Well, thank you, Judith. I really
appreciate it. Bye, guys. Bye.

45
00:04:30,452 --> 00:04:34,300
so much again, Mr. Mitchell. Oh, Mr.
Mitchell was my father. Please, call me

46
00:04:34,301 --> 00:04:35,904
Matt. Okay, Matt.

47
00:04:36,353 --> 00:04:39,710
Thank you for taking the time to visit.
That speech was so moving.

48
00:04:39,923 --> 00:04:41,418
The employees are really fired up.

49
00:04:41,654 --> 00:04:42,723
It was my pleasure.

50
00:04:42,746 --> 00:04:45,696
As you know, this is one of Mitchell's
highest -grossing locations, so I want

51
00:04:45,697 --> 00:04:48,473
know what's working, what's not working,
and ultimately how we can keep driving

52
00:04:48,474 --> 00:04:49,673
more business to this location.

53
00:04:50,037 --> 00:04:53,305
I'm always looking for ways to drive
sales. Happy to hear it.

54
00:04:53,585 --> 00:04:57,626
Oh, I also love the fall decorations, by
the way. Very seasonal. Oh, thank you.

55
00:04:57,735 --> 00:05:00,619
Just wait until we install the large
glowing pumpkin by the door.

56
00:05:01,516 --> 00:05:03,055
I'm sure that will be an absolute
winner.

57
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,831
I'll see you again in about six months.

58
00:05:05,087 --> 00:05:06,157
All right.

59
00:05:08,999 --> 00:05:10,067
Hey, Dad.

60
00:05:10,069 --> 00:05:11,435
How's our flagship location?

61
00:05:12,036 --> 00:05:15,584
Our highest earner. The general
manager's on the ball. Christine runs a

62
00:05:15,585 --> 00:05:18,555
ship, but there is room for improvement.
We can still beat the previous tail

63
00:05:18,556 --> 00:05:19,626
target. Good.

64
00:05:19,691 --> 00:05:20,759
Ah, Christine.

65
00:05:20,843 --> 00:05:24,179
She's always so reassuring. Listen, I'm
on my way to the airport now. Remember

66
00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:27,900
to look in on the new store, first
thing. Only four weeks until the

67
00:05:28,307 --> 00:05:31,468
This is our chance to wow the town. Show
me mean business.

68
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:33,832
I don't want a branch to fail.

69
00:05:34,047 --> 00:05:37,038
I'm on top of it. With Luke at the helm,
we've got nothing to worry about. I'll

70
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:40,140
get the momentum going for the grand
opening next month. Perfect. By the way,

71
00:05:40,182 --> 00:05:43,495
there's something I need you to look
into while you're back here. Yeah, sure,

72
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:44,137
whatever you need.

73
00:05:44,138 --> 00:05:46,853
There's a potential issue right near the
new location.

74
00:05:47,386 --> 00:05:51,835
The small arts and crafts shop called
the Crafty Companion. We need to get rid

75
00:05:51,836 --> 00:05:52,581
of it.

76
00:05:52,582 --> 00:05:57,070
I've sent the owner a generous offer,
but they are not returning my calls or

77
00:05:57,071 --> 00:05:58,142
letters.

78
00:05:58,706 --> 00:06:04,137
I need you to convince them to sell.
This crafty companion stays open. It

79
00:06:04,138 --> 00:06:05,206
drive sales away.

80
00:06:05,549 --> 00:06:06,982
Understood. I will look into it
tomorrow.

81
00:06:07,216 --> 00:06:12,989
Good. Oh, and one more thing. I took the
liberty of setting you up with a date

82
00:06:12,990 --> 00:06:14,402
while you're back in the area.

83
00:06:15,297 --> 00:06:16,560
Please tell me you're joking.

84
00:06:16,794 --> 00:06:20,727
No. He'll be thanking me. Listen, Dad,
I'm only in town for another month until

85
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:24,257
we open the new location, then I'm back
on the road. No prejudgments, Matt.

86
00:06:25,006 --> 00:06:28,553
You gonna need your own queen one of
these days to run our empire?

87
00:06:30,489 --> 00:06:31,751
Think of it as an adventure.

88
00:06:34,294 --> 00:06:35,598
I don't doubt it'll be an adventure.

89
00:06:55,973 --> 00:07:01,340
Hey, Nicole. Hey, Sarah. How are you
guys?

90
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:02,749
Hey, Allison.

91
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:03,840
Good to see you. How are you?

92
00:07:04,205 --> 00:07:09,506
Good. How are my reselling? Oh, great.
In fact, we only have one left. Yay!

93
00:07:10,341 --> 00:07:15,000
My tutorial at the craft craft is going
to restock this place. Just watch. We're

94
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,612
counting on it. Oh, Sarah, I need some
of that ribbon that you were talking

95
00:07:18,613 --> 00:07:20,069
about. Just right over here.

96
00:07:23,424 --> 00:07:24,494
Hello, Nicole.

97
00:07:24,558 --> 00:07:28,044
How's my favorite crafter doing today?
Oh, hey. It's a beautiful day.

98
00:07:28,386 --> 00:07:31,377
Well, fortunately, what I have here
might not be quite so beautiful.

99
00:07:31,634 --> 00:07:32,704
Hmm. Yeah.

100
00:07:32,822 --> 00:07:33,890
Thanks for the warning.

101
00:07:34,081 --> 00:07:35,107
See you later.

102
00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:39,597
We just got this beautiful teal in,
which I think will work perfect for your

103
00:07:39,598 --> 00:07:43,319
seascape. It's the exact teal I wanted.
It's perfect.

104
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:45,498
Bill,

105
00:07:46,355 --> 00:07:49,711
Bill, Bill, Bill.

106
00:07:50,651 --> 00:07:53,816
Oh. Oh, my gosh. Another buyout offer?

107
00:07:54,331 --> 00:07:57,663
No. Sorry, Mitchell's Arts and Crafts,
but the answer is still no.

108
00:07:58,925 --> 00:08:01,149
I don't know what I'd do if you went out
of business.

109
00:08:01,683 --> 00:08:05,958
I mean, there's so many artists
depending on you. That is the third

110
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:07,029
that company this month.

111
00:08:07,478 --> 00:08:10,428
When my parents started the Crafty
Companion, they wanted it to be a family

112
00:08:10,429 --> 00:08:11,496
business, you know?

113
00:08:11,581 --> 00:08:14,191
Not sell out to the first corporate grab
that came along.

114
00:08:16,092 --> 00:08:17,376
I forgot my wallet.

115
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:22,187
Can you just deduct it for my resale
this month? I'm so sorry, Nicole. Don't

116
00:08:22,188 --> 00:08:25,029
even worry about it. It's totally fine.
Plus, you're our guest of honor at the

117
00:08:25,030 --> 00:08:25,733
crop tomorrow.

118
00:08:25,734 --> 00:08:26,804
Well, thank you.

119
00:08:27,168 --> 00:08:30,931
There we go. All right. We'll see you
then. You might not recognize me. I'm

120
00:08:30,932 --> 00:08:32,600
getting my hair done special.

121
00:08:32,834 --> 00:08:34,202
Oh. Fancy.

122
00:08:34,503 --> 00:08:35,571
That's right.

123
00:08:36,533 --> 00:08:37,601
Bye.

124
00:08:39,548 --> 00:08:43,054
Don't say it. Bills are adding up. We
need money.

125
00:08:44,337 --> 00:08:46,944
If you don't watch out, you may have to
look into that offer.

126
00:08:47,351 --> 00:08:48,633
I know. I know.

127
00:09:01,109 --> 00:09:02,156
Hi, sis.

128
00:09:02,157 --> 00:09:03,247
Oh, hey, Eric.

129
00:09:04,381 --> 00:09:07,756
I'm putting together some fall
decorations for the precinct. I need

130
00:09:08,208 --> 00:09:10,174
Hoping you can help me with some supply.
I can help.

131
00:09:10,624 --> 00:09:12,163
We have some new items coming in.

132
00:09:12,739 --> 00:09:17,529
Garland, crushed pumpkin, leaf picks.
Just all things fall.

133
00:09:17,935 --> 00:09:19,239
Yeah, that sounds terrific.

134
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:20,947
Well, we're closed right now, though.

135
00:09:21,249 --> 00:09:23,066
But I'm, like, part owner.

136
00:09:23,921 --> 00:09:25,332
Sort of. Yes, you are.

137
00:09:25,653 --> 00:09:29,607
But we are also exhausted, and we have
the craft crop tomorrow, so I need to go

138
00:09:29,608 --> 00:09:30,451
home and get some rest.

139
00:09:30,452 --> 00:09:31,519
No problem.

140
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,424
I can come in on my day.

141
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:34,642
Sounds good.

142
00:09:34,643 --> 00:09:38,212
Oh, by the way, I meant to tell you, we
got another buyout offer from that

143
00:09:38,213 --> 00:09:39,389
Mitchell's Arts and Crafts.

144
00:09:39,624 --> 00:09:41,355
I just threw it in the trash without
even looking.

145
00:09:41,912 --> 00:09:43,793
Keep ignoring them. They'll eventually
stop.

146
00:09:44,436 --> 00:09:46,210
Anyway, I don't want to hold you two up.

147
00:09:46,424 --> 00:09:47,662
I'll see you both at the craft.

148
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,609
Okay. Good night, ladies.

149
00:09:52,430 --> 00:09:53,499
See you tomorrow.

150
00:09:55,785 --> 00:09:57,027
See you later. See ya.

151
00:10:12,913 --> 00:10:15,157
and welcome to our monthly craft crop.

152
00:10:15,562 --> 00:10:16,633
Nice turnout.

153
00:10:16,825 --> 00:10:21,571
Stop, you'll give me stage fright. This
month's theme is Fall Harvest Wreath.

154
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:26,787
And remember, each one of the
masterpieces created here tonight is

155
00:10:26,788 --> 00:10:31,513
win a $200 gift card to the store. So,
keep it craft.

156
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:40,769
Uh, I also just... I just wanted to
thank each and every one of you for

157
00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:41,859
here. You know.

158
00:10:42,139 --> 00:10:47,353
Crafting to me is more than just an
enjoyable hobby. It's a way of life, a

159
00:10:47,354 --> 00:10:52,442
calling. And, you know, my mother used
to always say that being creative allows

160
00:10:52,443 --> 00:10:53,811
us to live life more fully.

161
00:10:54,432 --> 00:10:56,314
We become a part of something larger.

162
00:10:56,571 --> 00:11:01,187
Each one of us is a little square on the
quilt of the global crafting community.

163
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:04,781
I know my mom could never work on a
craft without a smile on her face.

164
00:11:05,464 --> 00:11:06,726
I'm sure you can all relate too.

165
00:11:07,069 --> 00:11:08,992
I know I do. So, thank you.

166
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,183
I agree.

167
00:11:13,641 --> 00:11:15,161
That was very well said.

168
00:11:15,501 --> 00:11:18,687
You know, crafting is just as much about
building something outside of ourselves

169
00:11:18,688 --> 00:11:21,402
as it is becoming our whole selves.

170
00:11:21,893 --> 00:11:23,669
You're crafters.

171
00:11:25,167 --> 00:11:30,958
Creators. Being artists. It's... It's in
our blood.

172
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,559
And by crafting, you are improving
yourself while making the world a

173
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:37,628
place.

174
00:11:38,592 --> 00:11:41,328
So, what have you crafted lately?

175
00:11:41,798 --> 00:11:42,867
What do you mean?

176
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:48,363
Like... you know making something what
have you made lately oh uh well i was

177
00:11:48,364 --> 00:11:52,851
recently inspired by a game of catch i
have it with my nephew blake i don't see

178
00:11:52,852 --> 00:11:56,315
him as often as i'd like because i
travel a lot for business but i use this

179
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:59,800
portable machine that can print digital
photos on just about anything including

180
00:11:59,801 --> 00:12:04,825
fabric and then i hot glued photos of us
hanging out together onto a football to

181
00:12:04,826 --> 00:12:12,029
create a unique craft that even he could
enjoy oh wow that's that's

182
00:12:12,030 --> 00:12:14,104
um really creative

183
00:12:17,619 --> 00:12:21,959
Okay, everyone. Well, it is almost time
to get started. So I'm going to

184
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,514
introduce to you our resident wreath
expert, Allison Garland.

185
00:12:27,838 --> 00:12:32,329
Thanks for having me, Nicole.

186
00:12:32,672 --> 00:12:33,739
Hi, everybody.

187
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:38,679
I have some crafty tricks up my sleeve
to make your wreath the envy of your

188
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,331
neighbors. But first, I want to see what
you do.

189
00:12:41,565 --> 00:12:43,212
So let's get crafting.

190
00:12:58,305 --> 00:13:03,841
I wanted to apologize in there. I didn't
mean to insinuate that you don't have

191
00:13:03,842 --> 00:13:06,345
any crafting ability or that you didn't
know what you're talking about.

192
00:13:06,985 --> 00:13:09,894
A lot of people talk about things that
they don't actually practice.

193
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:11,689
Anyway, I'm sorry.

194
00:13:12,267 --> 00:13:13,186
It's okay.

195
00:13:13,187 --> 00:13:14,255
Really.

196
00:13:15,943 --> 00:13:17,120
I'm Nicole.

197
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:18,616
I'm Matthew.

198
00:13:18,703 --> 00:13:19,772
Nice to meet you, Nicole.

199
00:13:27,489 --> 00:13:28,857
Your speech in there was moving.

200
00:13:31,754 --> 00:13:32,824
Appreciate that.

201
00:13:33,528 --> 00:13:36,115
I also really enjoyed your well -thought
-out comment.

202
00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:39,879
I have to be honest, though, you don't
exactly look like the crafting type.

203
00:13:40,157 --> 00:13:42,594
Fair enough. I actually just came from
work.

204
00:13:42,852 --> 00:13:44,712
Oh. Well, what do you do?

205
00:13:45,075 --> 00:13:46,507
I... Oh, sorry.

206
00:13:47,191 --> 00:13:53,028
You know what? I really have to go. I'm
kind of meeting someone tonight.

207
00:13:54,289 --> 00:13:59,721
Oh. Well, of course. I would like to
continue this sometime.

208
00:14:00,616 --> 00:14:01,685
Me too.

209
00:14:02,712 --> 00:14:08,484
Here, let me give you one of my business
cards, and if you're ever back in the

210
00:14:08,485 --> 00:14:10,410
area, you should stop by.

211
00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:12,738
I'd like that.

212
00:14:38,973 --> 00:14:41,280
What did you think about that guy that
was in here talking?

213
00:14:41,772 --> 00:14:42,841
Oh, I don't know.

214
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:49,705
He was smart, funny, handsome, well
-spoken, inspirational, well -dressed,

215
00:14:49,770 --> 00:14:51,437
confident, tall.

216
00:14:52,077 --> 00:14:53,319
I already said handsome, right?

217
00:14:54,108 --> 00:14:56,675
You did, and I agree.

218
00:14:57,147 --> 00:14:58,812
Then you better go ask him out on a
date.

219
00:15:00,309 --> 00:15:02,147
I think I kind of already did.

220
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,916
What? Yeah, but he was going to meet
somebody else later tonight, so we'll

221
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:10,166
But I gave him my card, and I guess I'll
just wait and see if he calls.

222
00:15:10,561 --> 00:15:11,759
If he knows what's good for him.

223
00:15:12,528 --> 00:15:15,735
Well, it'd be nice to finally be with a
man who appreciates art.

224
00:15:16,419 --> 00:15:17,957
With a man who appreciates you.

225
00:15:21,102 --> 00:15:23,986
Ladies, what do you think of this one
that Debbie's made?

226
00:15:26,167 --> 00:15:27,771
I think we have this one's winner.

227
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:41,657
Being on the road definitely has
drawbacks, but one of the upsides is all

228
00:15:41,658 --> 00:15:43,988
artists that I get to discover around
the country.

229
00:15:44,885 --> 00:15:47,687
These little boutiques, they're like a
home away from home for me.

230
00:15:48,286 --> 00:15:51,620
You just never know when you're going to
discover a hidden talent.

231
00:15:52,626 --> 00:15:53,696
Mm -hmm.

232
00:15:56,537 --> 00:15:57,864
This is an interesting piece.

233
00:15:58,547 --> 00:16:01,605
The golden backdrop actually reminds me
of a Gustav Klimt.

234
00:16:01,947 --> 00:16:03,015
What?

235
00:16:04,212 --> 00:16:05,433
Just one of my favorite artists.

236
00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:06,779
Oh.

237
00:16:09,313 --> 00:16:11,451
It's fascinating the way she's leaning
against the cello.

238
00:16:13,031 --> 00:16:16,324
Maybe she's bored or she's waiting on
her turn in orchestra.

239
00:16:19,510 --> 00:16:22,802
She's definitely lost in her own
thoughts, though. Sad about something,

240
00:16:25,883 --> 00:16:26,950
What do you think?

241
00:16:27,892 --> 00:16:29,473
I'm sure it's worth a lot of money.

242
00:16:32,166 --> 00:16:36,101
How do you do it?

243
00:16:36,572 --> 00:16:37,641
Do what?

244
00:16:37,747 --> 00:16:39,907
Walk and type on such a small device.

245
00:16:40,825 --> 00:16:41,893
A talent.

246
00:16:41,894 --> 00:16:42,963
Thank you.

247
00:16:44,931 --> 00:16:47,689
You know, it's also a talent to spend an
entire evening with someone while

248
00:16:47,690 --> 00:16:49,913
completely ignoring him the entire time.

249
00:16:54,424 --> 00:16:56,668
Oh, I'm sorry.

250
00:16:57,009 --> 00:16:59,255
I just don't get any of this art stuff.

251
00:16:59,918 --> 00:17:01,971
I'm more of a dinner and a movie type of
girl.

252
00:17:02,954 --> 00:17:05,179
There's this new film playing at the
theater in the mall.

253
00:17:05,969 --> 00:17:07,295
I've heard it's really great.

254
00:17:07,786 --> 00:17:09,431
Should still catch the 10 o 'clock show.

255
00:17:11,677 --> 00:17:12,746
Um...

256
00:17:41,502 --> 00:17:43,171
Yeah, the circuit is really great at
this store.

257
00:18:23,888 --> 00:18:24,826
Hey, Luke.

258
00:18:24,827 --> 00:18:25,896
Hey, Matt.

259
00:18:26,003 --> 00:18:27,351
Chip. Yeah, thanks.

260
00:18:27,821 --> 00:18:29,102
What are we doing?

261
00:18:29,317 --> 00:18:30,792
Oh, just refinishing this.

262
00:18:31,456 --> 00:18:34,255
You know you're supposed to be
overseeing the renovation, not doing it

263
00:18:34,811 --> 00:18:36,606
Relax. Contractor went to lunch.

264
00:18:37,185 --> 00:18:41,054
I enjoy doing things like this. It kind
of keeps me occupied.

265
00:18:41,375 --> 00:18:43,621
I don't doubt it. But what about the
layout?

266
00:18:43,941 --> 00:18:45,011
Oh, okay.

267
00:18:46,036 --> 00:18:47,876
Over here, I'm going to have the
registers.

268
00:18:48,676 --> 00:18:52,332
And then we have three main shelving
units over here for pillows, throws,

269
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:57,142
clothing, candle, candle making
supplies, ribbon bows, bees. I can keep

270
00:18:57,143 --> 00:19:00,094
got all this mapped out in my head. I'm
telling you, four weeks from now, when

271
00:19:00,095 --> 00:19:03,493
we open the doors for the first time,
you're not going to know this door ever

272
00:19:03,494 --> 00:19:04,560
started looking like this.

273
00:19:04,947 --> 00:19:06,016
Good work, Luke.

274
00:19:06,059 --> 00:19:07,983
Oh, I got one more thing. Okay.

275
00:19:08,689 --> 00:19:10,654
Take a look at this.

276
00:19:11,211 --> 00:19:12,279
Oh. Huh?

277
00:19:12,579 --> 00:19:13,692
Huh. Yeah.

278
00:19:15,574 --> 00:19:19,484
What is this for? You know, to one -up
the competition. I noticed that craft

279
00:19:19,485 --> 00:19:23,268
shop around the corner, they do this
every single month. And your dad asked

280
00:19:23,269 --> 00:19:26,027
to come up with ideas to, you know, help
get rid of them.

281
00:19:26,561 --> 00:19:27,631
Right.

282
00:19:28,293 --> 00:19:31,777
You know, I love the initiative, but I
think you've got enough on your plate

283
00:19:31,778 --> 00:19:32,848
just getting the store ready.

284
00:19:34,535 --> 00:19:38,854
I think we're going to have plenty of
time later to strategize events, to

285
00:19:38,855 --> 00:19:43,366
the competition. So I think let's just
shelve the crop for now.

286
00:19:44,029 --> 00:19:47,812
Okay, you're the boss. But, you know,
your father said it was very important

287
00:19:47,814 --> 00:19:50,250
us to make a strong statement to the
community right up front.

288
00:19:50,913 --> 00:19:51,982
Not to worry.

289
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:52,879
We will.

290
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,227
Okay. Good to see you.

291
00:19:54,482 --> 00:19:55,553
Hey. Same here.

292
00:20:08,403 --> 00:20:12,377
You know, it feels good to be back in
town for a while, even if it is just for

293
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:13,447
business.

294
00:20:13,534 --> 00:20:14,643
How did the date go?

295
00:20:16,291 --> 00:20:20,779
A little gallery near the new location
had a window exhibit featuring local

296
00:20:20,780 --> 00:20:23,131
artists, so we checked that out.

297
00:20:23,838 --> 00:20:25,441
She has an interest in art.

298
00:20:26,297 --> 00:20:29,161
No, which is why I won't be seeing her
again.

299
00:20:29,889 --> 00:20:32,710
Well, I guess you'll find the right
woman eventually.

300
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:35,961
And what about the crafty companion?

301
00:20:36,388 --> 00:20:42,502
I met the owner, local girl, Nicole
something. She was hosting the small

302
00:20:42,503 --> 00:20:44,020
crafting competition yesterday.

303
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,688
She's cute, too. Good.

304
00:20:45,903 --> 00:20:47,099
Use that to your advantage.

305
00:20:47,869 --> 00:20:48,916
Get close to her.

306
00:20:48,917 --> 00:20:50,072
Convince her to sell.

307
00:20:50,327 --> 00:20:52,230
Her shop is a thing of the past.

308
00:20:52,679 --> 00:20:55,181
Mitchell's Arts and Crafts is the
future.

309
00:20:57,832 --> 00:21:00,121
Oh, that is cold, Dad.

310
00:21:00,954 --> 00:21:05,102
She's a sweet woman. I don't want to
ruin her. I need you to get this done,

311
00:21:05,529 --> 00:21:09,976
I mean, get her to close or I'll find
someone who can't.

312
00:21:11,536 --> 00:21:12,518
Yes, sir.

313
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:13,589
Good.

314
00:21:14,144 --> 00:21:15,215
Justine?

315
00:21:27,860 --> 00:21:32,390
I'm making a few custom ones for next
month's pumpkin cutting craft crop. Oh,

316
00:21:32,391 --> 00:21:33,461
love it. I'm cute.

317
00:21:33,611 --> 00:21:34,764
I love the little pumpkin faces.

318
00:21:35,131 --> 00:21:37,458
What did you use to make it? I used
Canva.

319
00:21:38,101 --> 00:21:40,345
Helps even someone like me up here to be
talented.

320
00:21:41,116 --> 00:21:42,782
Stop it. You are talented.

321
00:21:43,361 --> 00:21:46,802
Do you remember that amazing Christmas
garland you made? I had it hanging.

322
00:21:58,784 --> 00:22:02,503
Yeah, my friend just had a baby girl,
and I was wondering what she could do to

323
00:22:02,504 --> 00:22:04,407
immortalize her adorable daughter's
footprint.

324
00:22:05,029 --> 00:22:09,175
Well, you could press her feet into some
safe, non -toxic plaster and create a

325
00:22:09,176 --> 00:22:10,246
holiday keepsake ornament.

326
00:22:10,353 --> 00:22:12,810
Might be just a tad obvious, don't you
think?

327
00:22:13,131 --> 00:22:19,052
Well, you could use some organic ink and
use the baby's feet like stampers on an

328
00:22:19,053 --> 00:22:22,687
ink pad and press those little tootsies
right down with some aged parchment.

329
00:22:22,964 --> 00:22:27,218
Or, if you want to add a bit of whimsy,
you could transform those toes into an

330
00:22:27,219 --> 00:22:28,289
animal of your choice.

331
00:22:28,781 --> 00:22:29,849
Will you go out with me?

332
00:22:31,914 --> 00:22:35,975
I thought you had a date last night. I
did, but it was a first and a last date.

333
00:22:36,252 --> 00:22:37,322
She wasn't my type.

334
00:22:37,428 --> 00:22:41,704
Well, what if I'm not your type? Well,
my type tends to be of the cute and

335
00:22:41,705 --> 00:22:44,632
clever and crafty nature. One, they can
name three different ways of getting a

336
00:22:44,633 --> 00:22:47,007
baby's feet dirty in the name of art
without breaking a sweat.

337
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:49,508
Doesn't sound like anyone I know.

338
00:22:52,715 --> 00:22:56,778
I tell you what, if it's not you, then
we don't have to go out again.

339
00:22:58,830 --> 00:23:00,307
Okay, but...

340
00:23:00,649 --> 00:23:02,571
A warning, I don't break out the
sequence on the first date.

341
00:23:02,806 --> 00:23:05,139
Okay, then I will leave my rhinestone
tuxedo at home.

342
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:07,169
I'll pick you up at eight.

343
00:23:07,938 --> 00:23:09,007
Okay.

344
00:23:40,724 --> 00:23:44,505
painted, it reminds me a lot of Gustav
Klimt. Yeah, because of the golden

345
00:23:44,506 --> 00:23:46,688
backdrop. Yeah, exactly.

346
00:23:47,224 --> 00:23:50,858
I love it, though.

347
00:23:51,904 --> 00:23:57,099
The way her hand resting on the cello
there with her head.

348
00:23:57,955 --> 00:23:59,537
I want to know what she's thinking.

349
00:24:01,034 --> 00:24:03,451
Is she bored with her music lessons?

350
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:06,209
No.

351
00:24:07,214 --> 00:24:08,838
No, she seems sad about something.

352
00:24:11,339 --> 00:24:12,729
Really beautifully smart work.

353
00:24:19,272 --> 00:24:20,341
What do you think?

354
00:24:21,024 --> 00:24:22,456
I agree completely.

355
00:24:22,970 --> 00:24:24,531
Yeah, it's beautiful.

356
00:24:28,956 --> 00:24:31,992
So, uh, you travel a lot for work?

357
00:24:32,441 --> 00:24:39,602
Yeah, I have to. I oversee operations
around the country, so my job balances

358
00:24:39,603 --> 00:24:40,673
between cities.

359
00:24:40,865 --> 00:24:42,767
Constantly flying, new city every week.

360
00:24:43,194 --> 00:24:44,264
That sort of thing.

361
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:47,236
Are you on the road now? No. No, I live
here.

362
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,180
Well, sort of.

363
00:24:49,672 --> 00:24:53,051
I mean, I have an apartment in the city,
but it's kind of hard to call it home

364
00:24:53,052 --> 00:24:54,548
because I'm always on the road.

365
00:24:56,473 --> 00:24:59,058
Let's get old and not having a place to
really feel settled.

366
00:24:59,551 --> 00:25:02,844
Yeah, but I meet a lot of great people
on the road.

367
00:25:05,452 --> 00:25:09,515
They say on those embroidery pillows,
home is where the heart is.

368
00:25:10,025 --> 00:25:11,095
It's very true.

369
00:25:19,070 --> 00:25:20,139
Something wrong?

370
00:25:20,802 --> 00:25:26,980
No. I was just thinking that there's
this new ice cream parlor that just

371
00:25:26,981 --> 00:25:28,307
up a couple blocks down the street.

372
00:25:28,862 --> 00:25:29,930
Do you feel like dessert?

373
00:25:30,829 --> 00:25:31,940
It's like you read my mind.

374
00:25:34,378 --> 00:25:36,345
Would it be too soon to have to see you
again?

375
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,472
Second date sounds lovely.

376
00:25:53,791 --> 00:25:57,274
So we have nearly twice the square
footage of the Crafty Companion, plus a

377
00:25:57,275 --> 00:26:02,084
more room for storage of extra stock. So
we're going to have a lot more product

378
00:26:02,085 --> 00:26:06,446
to offer, really never run out of
anything, pretty much guaranteeing this

379
00:26:06,447 --> 00:26:07,516
is going to be a success.

380
00:26:07,537 --> 00:26:10,361
Luke, we don't need a guarantee. We
haven't had a Mitchell's location fail

381
00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:11,472
over 20 years.

382
00:26:11,729 --> 00:26:15,854
Yeah, yeah. But the last one that
failed, failed in this town. And that

383
00:26:15,855 --> 00:26:16,945
because of the Crafty Companion.

384
00:26:18,248 --> 00:26:21,777
Really? I didn't actually know that. Are
you sure?

385
00:26:22,441 --> 00:26:25,839
Yeah. Nobody thought that quaint little
shop could pose a threat to a business

386
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,164
of our size, so they ignored it.

387
00:26:27,892 --> 00:26:28,961
That was a mistake.

388
00:26:31,099 --> 00:26:34,284
And that is why my father is so intent
on closing down our business.

389
00:26:35,117 --> 00:26:36,186
Her?

390
00:26:38,003 --> 00:26:39,544
Let's get back on point.

391
00:26:39,778 --> 00:26:40,955
Something bothering you, boss?

392
00:26:42,430 --> 00:26:46,385
Matt, Matt, I've worked for your dad for
nearly two decades, and I've known you

393
00:26:46,386 --> 00:26:47,455
since we were kids.

394
00:26:47,883 --> 00:26:51,237
So I know you well enough to know that
you've been distracted since you walked

395
00:26:51,238 --> 00:26:52,308
in here.

396
00:26:54,637 --> 00:26:55,707
Talk to me, boss.

397
00:26:56,283 --> 00:26:57,353
I met a woman.

398
00:26:58,443 --> 00:26:59,576
You must really like her.

399
00:27:00,024 --> 00:27:01,756
Yeah. Who is she?

400
00:27:02,803 --> 00:27:04,878
The owner of the Crafty Companion.

401
00:27:05,522 --> 00:27:06,589
Oh.

402
00:27:06,867 --> 00:27:08,620
All right, so she's the she.

403
00:27:08,855 --> 00:27:11,016
Okay, she's the she. Okay.

404
00:27:12,085 --> 00:27:16,402
All right, and what does she think of
Mitchell's opening up store right around

405
00:27:16,403 --> 00:27:17,472
the corner from hers?

406
00:27:19,118 --> 00:27:20,313
She doesn't know.

407
00:27:20,871 --> 00:27:25,468
No, listen, I wanted to tell her, and I
almost did a few days ago when I first

408
00:27:25,469 --> 00:27:26,536
met her, but I just...

409
00:27:29,188 --> 00:27:32,372
I really want her to get to know the
real me first.

410
00:27:36,307 --> 00:27:41,865
Okay. But I take it you've not told her
the real you's last name yet?

411
00:27:42,848 --> 00:27:44,603
She can't know. Not yet.

412
00:27:44,986 --> 00:27:48,215
Oh, where are you going? I have a lunch
date.

413
00:27:48,965 --> 00:27:50,033
A walk in the park?

414
00:27:50,589 --> 00:27:52,299
A walk in the park, he says.

415
00:27:52,984 --> 00:27:54,054
This is serious.

416
00:27:55,462 --> 00:27:56,531
What does she look like?

417
00:27:57,601 --> 00:27:58,670
She's a masterpiece.

418
00:28:00,422 --> 00:28:01,491
Don't give me that look.

419
00:28:02,155 --> 00:28:03,224
Okay?

420
00:28:17,976 --> 00:28:20,734
You know, when we feel busy with work,
it's really nice to take a breather.

421
00:28:21,184 --> 00:28:22,252
Yeah.

422
00:28:22,551 --> 00:28:26,550
Yeah, we can both use more of the...
Look!

423
00:28:26,805 --> 00:28:27,874
Look up there.

424
00:28:28,409 --> 00:28:29,478
What is it? What do you see?

425
00:28:29,863 --> 00:28:31,146
It's a red -headed woodpecker.

426
00:28:33,165 --> 00:28:35,902
I got to get a photo I love with Peggy.
Oh, nice.

427
00:28:37,249 --> 00:28:38,318
See it?

428
00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:39,623
Can you zoom in a little bit?

429
00:28:40,586 --> 00:28:41,697
Oh, I think he flew away.

430
00:28:42,445 --> 00:28:43,513
Oh, no.

431
00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:45,396
Really? Yeah, I don't see him.

432
00:28:46,485 --> 00:28:47,961
Well, we'll try that.

433
00:28:51,147 --> 00:28:52,215
You did that on purpose.

434
00:28:53,007 --> 00:28:54,076
Maybe.

435
00:28:54,140 --> 00:28:56,150
All right, well, here, let's do it. Oh,
okay.

436
00:28:56,384 --> 00:28:58,993
All right, we're going to give it a
close and say, cheers.

437
00:28:59,228 --> 00:29:00,297
Cheers.

438
00:29:04,616 --> 00:29:05,814
Let's see how it turned out. Yeah.

439
00:29:06,090 --> 00:29:07,160
Yeah, of course.

440
00:29:10,581 --> 00:29:11,650
It's actually really cute.

441
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:13,531
Oh, I love it. That's a great picture.

442
00:29:13,959 --> 00:29:15,027
Yeah.

443
00:29:20,394 --> 00:29:21,463
This has been really nice.

444
00:29:22,339 --> 00:29:23,580
Yeah. Yeah, it was.

445
00:29:24,178 --> 00:29:26,081
You'll have to send me that picture.

446
00:29:26,316 --> 00:29:27,449
Yeah. Yeah.

447
00:29:30,764 --> 00:29:35,059
So, I've been meaning to ask you, how
did you become the owner of the Crafty

448
00:29:35,060 --> 00:29:36,129
Companion?

449
00:29:37,807 --> 00:29:42,467
Well, my parents were both art lovers,
and they opened the store when I was

450
00:29:42,468 --> 00:29:43,537
about 10.

451
00:29:43,986 --> 00:29:47,279
I remember going there every day after
school and staying until it closed.

452
00:29:47,877 --> 00:29:49,866
And your parents, they worked together
in the store all day long?

453
00:29:50,743 --> 00:29:53,201
They did. They did. And, yeah, they were
very happy.

454
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,868
Never got sick of each other.

455
00:29:55,938 --> 00:29:57,007
Where are they now?

456
00:29:57,841 --> 00:30:02,479
Well, my parents actually passed away a
few years ago, both of them. So,

457
00:30:02,629 --> 00:30:07,418
yeah, Eric and I inherited the store.

458
00:30:09,193 --> 00:30:12,335
You know, he's in law enforcement, so I
pretty much run the day -to -day of

459
00:30:12,336 --> 00:30:14,537
things. Well, Sarah helps me, of course.

460
00:30:15,286 --> 00:30:16,954
She's practically family, too.

461
00:30:17,831 --> 00:30:21,293
Sorry to hear about your parents, but
that's got to be kind of nice. You get

462
00:30:21,294 --> 00:30:22,918
spend so much time with your best friend
and your brother.

463
00:30:24,074 --> 00:30:25,142
It is, yeah.

464
00:30:26,170 --> 00:30:29,290
But, uh, it still gets a little lonely
sometimes.

465
00:30:56,891 --> 00:30:58,881
personalized mittens as well.

466
00:31:00,634 --> 00:31:02,257
I'm going to have to make you start
wearing a bell.

467
00:31:02,770 --> 00:31:07,688
Isn't looking for wedding craft ideas
after one date a bit premature?

468
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:12,285
First of all, it is my business to stay
up on the world of crafting.

469
00:31:12,712 --> 00:31:15,064
And technically, yesterday made it two
dates.

470
00:31:15,535 --> 00:31:17,459
Then I'm guessing it went pretty well.

471
00:31:18,143 --> 00:31:19,448
How well exactly?

472
00:31:20,344 --> 00:31:21,926
I want details. Where did you go?

473
00:31:22,205 --> 00:31:24,812
Well, we went down to the art gallery,
but it was closed.

474
00:31:25,197 --> 00:31:29,004
So we stood outside and looked at the
window display, and he had the best

475
00:31:29,005 --> 00:31:30,114
comments about the art.

476
00:31:30,415 --> 00:31:31,484
So what did he do?

477
00:31:31,911 --> 00:31:35,373
Obviously, he's connected to the art
world, having blurted out all that stuff

478
00:31:35,374 --> 00:31:37,726
the cross. Well, actually, he's in
business.

479
00:31:38,837 --> 00:31:39,907
What's business?

480
00:31:42,130 --> 00:31:43,884
You know, we didn't really talk about
that.

481
00:31:44,611 --> 00:31:48,117
But we did talk about art and family and
nature.

482
00:31:48,822 --> 00:31:50,063
We went to the park yesterday.

483
00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:52,392
Park? I know. It was such a beautiful
day.

484
00:31:53,163 --> 00:31:54,232
But it's kind of sad.

485
00:31:54,637 --> 00:31:58,421
You know, when he asked me to go for a
walk in the park, I didn't know what he

486
00:31:58,422 --> 00:32:03,168
meant. I mean, the idea of walking
without a destination just seemed so

487
00:32:03,169 --> 00:32:04,239
to me.

488
00:32:06,419 --> 00:32:08,555
You need to take some time off.

489
00:32:09,497 --> 00:32:13,408
Yeah, well, one does not just take time
off when running a business. Especially

490
00:32:13,409 --> 00:32:16,082
when our sales are low and our lease
isn't even renewed.

491
00:32:16,786 --> 00:32:19,674
I think you need to schedule a third
date.

492
00:32:20,293 --> 00:32:21,084
I did.

493
00:32:21,086 --> 00:32:22,154
Lunch today.

494
00:32:23,457 --> 00:32:28,844
Oh, right now, in fact. Sorry to skip
out on you like this, but I should be

495
00:32:28,845 --> 00:32:30,791
in maybe an hour.

496
00:32:31,156 --> 00:32:31,966
I don't know.

497
00:32:31,967 --> 00:32:33,036
Let's wait, too.

498
00:32:33,999 --> 00:32:36,755
I'll cover for you, and don't worry
about the lease. I'll call Judith.

499
00:32:36,990 --> 00:32:38,551
Great. Thank you. You're the best.

500
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:48,836
Wow.

501
00:32:48,985 --> 00:32:50,139
I'm loving that painkiller.

502
00:32:52,481 --> 00:32:56,116
I gotta give some credit for Sammy's
paint, though.

503
00:32:56,522 --> 00:32:58,060
So you're a painter now, too?

504
00:32:58,276 --> 00:33:01,995
Ah, well, my mom always said I was a
jack -of -all -trades, master of none.

505
00:33:02,976 --> 00:33:05,030
Probably didn't mention that at the job
interview, though.

506
00:33:05,244 --> 00:33:08,088
Well, you should have. Might have to
amend the general manager job

507
00:33:09,135 --> 00:33:12,918
Well, what do you think? We're closing
in on our big grand opening in three

508
00:33:12,919 --> 00:33:16,660
weeks. Won't be long before we're ready
to rock and roll. Or glitter and glue

509
00:33:16,661 --> 00:33:17,901
gun, I guess. Right.

510
00:33:18,778 --> 00:33:19,911
I have to show you something.

511
00:33:20,146 --> 00:33:21,301
Really? What do you got?

512
00:33:21,888 --> 00:33:27,296
Well, I had this temporary sign made to
put up front so everyone knows

513
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:28,966
Mitchell's is opening soon.

514
00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:32,173
Yeah, that looks good.

515
00:33:32,962 --> 00:33:35,357
So I'm going to put it up today.

516
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,200
You know, why don't we actually hold off
on the sign? Let's make it a surprise.

517
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,565
Surprise? I mean, I know I'm just a
store manager, but I'm pretty sure

518
00:33:47,566 --> 00:33:49,340
effect isn't on the corporate vision
statement.

519
00:33:49,618 --> 00:33:52,185
Just don't put it up until I give you
the word, okay?

520
00:33:53,445 --> 00:33:56,332
You still haven't told her. I'm waiting
for the right moment.

521
00:33:57,337 --> 00:33:58,406
Hello?

522
00:33:58,918 --> 00:33:59,985
Anybody home?

523
00:34:00,073 --> 00:34:02,808
Mr. Mitchell, we're in here. There's a
slit in the middle there, sir.

524
00:34:03,258 --> 00:34:04,412
Oh, I found you.

525
00:34:04,989 --> 00:34:08,261
Hey, Dad, I wasn't expecting you today.

526
00:34:08,647 --> 00:34:13,349
Well, I thought I'd hop in the car and
see how my latest venture is going. Good

527
00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:16,811
to see you. Likewise, sir. We're only
three weeks out, and we're already

528
00:34:16,812 --> 00:34:17,881
like we're ahead of schedule.

529
00:34:18,009 --> 00:34:19,358
That's what I want to hear.

530
00:34:20,170 --> 00:34:23,248
Can you give Matthew and I a quick
moment? Thanks. Thanks, Luke.

531
00:34:25,708 --> 00:34:27,951
So, Dad, what do you think? Any changes?

532
00:34:28,465 --> 00:34:30,346
Ah, you guys are all over it.

533
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,890
This is such a sweet location.

534
00:34:33,147 --> 00:34:39,390
Yeah, um, my drive -over, I go right
past that little shop.

535
00:34:41,357 --> 00:34:43,966
You gotta get that crafty woman to sell.

536
00:34:44,224 --> 00:34:45,333
I'm gonna take care of it.

537
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:49,951
Have you spoken to her again? Dad, I'll
get it done.

538
00:34:50,722 --> 00:34:51,832
Yes, you will.

539
00:34:52,582 --> 00:34:54,505
This is a legacy store, son.

540
00:34:55,124 --> 00:34:57,006
I'm looking forward to the grand
opening.

541
00:34:57,478 --> 00:34:58,632
Three weeks to go.

542
00:34:58,911 --> 00:34:59,978
You heard Luke.

543
00:35:22,450 --> 00:35:25,163
Hey, I am so sorry. I'm never late.

544
00:35:25,549 --> 00:35:26,383
Oh, fine.

545
00:35:26,384 --> 00:35:27,453
We'll call it even. Okay.

546
00:35:28,178 --> 00:35:29,248
Can I get you anything?

547
00:35:29,269 --> 00:35:31,087
Yeah, can I get a coffee? Black, please?

548
00:35:31,536 --> 00:35:32,605
Thank you.

549
00:35:32,732 --> 00:35:36,261
I just love this place. I only wish it
was a little closer to home.

550
00:35:40,727 --> 00:35:45,386
So, um, we never really got to talk
about it, but, uh, what do you, what do

551
00:35:45,387 --> 00:35:46,459
do?

552
00:35:46,906 --> 00:35:48,490
Uh, art and craft.

553
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,776
Oh. What do you do in art?

554
00:35:52,252 --> 00:35:53,320
Distribution.

555
00:35:54,134 --> 00:35:55,758
Okay. What do you distribute?

556
00:35:56,251 --> 00:35:57,318
Business is boring.

557
00:35:57,481 --> 00:36:01,072
I mean, art's not boring, but the
business of it can be.

558
00:36:01,862 --> 00:36:04,150
Thank you so much.

559
00:36:05,410 --> 00:36:06,481
What about your family?

560
00:36:07,314 --> 00:36:11,611
Well, I work with my father, who runs
the business, and I serve as Senior Vice

561
00:36:11,612 --> 00:36:12,680
President of Operations.

562
00:36:13,257 --> 00:36:17,171
And my mom actually passed a few years
back.

563
00:36:18,153 --> 00:36:19,371
Sorry to hear that.

564
00:36:20,249 --> 00:36:24,568
She was a sculptor. She taught me a lot
about art and what it means to be a

565
00:36:24,569 --> 00:36:28,800
crafter. It doesn't matter if you're
painting a masterpiece or decoupaging a

566
00:36:28,801 --> 00:36:30,019
collage or sewing a quilt.

567
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,077
Your art is a piece of you that reflects
back into the world.

568
00:36:35,556 --> 00:36:39,277
Well, now that art gallery window makes
a little more sense.

569
00:36:39,748 --> 00:36:41,778
And the football for your nephew. Yeah.

570
00:36:42,740 --> 00:36:46,398
I just wish that my dad felt the same
way about art as Mom did.

571
00:36:47,273 --> 00:36:51,250
Maybe it's time to stop and tell your
dad how you really feel.

572
00:36:51,976 --> 00:36:53,472
This isn't everything, right?

573
00:36:55,953 --> 00:36:57,022
Yeah.

574
00:37:03,028 --> 00:37:04,569
What? What are you grinning at?

575
00:37:04,996 --> 00:37:06,450
What are you, the smile police?

576
00:37:06,813 --> 00:37:09,165
No, but you're just smiling at me.

577
00:37:11,304 --> 00:37:12,373
Do you have something in my teeth?

578
00:37:15,279 --> 00:37:19,343
No. It's just, you know, you're sitting
like that holding your mug.

579
00:37:22,911 --> 00:37:24,687
Peaceful. Nice image.

580
00:37:52,417 --> 00:37:53,441
Excuse me.

581
00:37:53,442 --> 00:37:54,514
Oh, hi.

582
00:37:55,046 --> 00:37:56,523
What's going in here?

583
00:37:56,864 --> 00:37:59,173
We're opening up the Mitchell's Arts and
Crafts store.

584
00:38:00,713 --> 00:38:01,781
Oh. Yeah.

585
00:38:01,974 --> 00:38:03,042
Have a good day.

586
00:38:03,212 --> 00:38:05,588
Yeah. You too. Thank you.

587
00:38:37,742 --> 00:38:38,811
Do you want to have dinner with me
tonight?

588
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,826
Are you asking me out on a fourth date?

589
00:38:42,210 --> 00:38:43,279
I am.

590
00:38:44,584 --> 00:38:46,210
Tonight? I mean, the weeknight.

591
00:38:46,658 --> 00:38:47,983
Do you not eat dinner on weeknights?

592
00:38:48,858 --> 00:38:51,745
No, I do, but tonight we have inventory.

593
00:38:51,981 --> 00:38:55,295
We just got a huge shipment in, so I
have a lot of math to look forward to.

594
00:38:55,549 --> 00:38:57,861
Wait, do you not use Craft Biz Plus
inventory software?

595
00:38:58,094 --> 00:38:59,316
How do you know Craft Biz Plus?

596
00:39:00,383 --> 00:39:04,872
I mean, my distribution used to be a
small business at one point, but we used

597
00:39:04,873 --> 00:39:07,780
Craft Biz Plus to manage our sales and
inventory systems.

598
00:39:11,339 --> 00:39:12,816
Crafty Companion is still a little old
school.

599
00:39:13,286 --> 00:39:14,355
Paper logs and ledgers.

600
00:39:15,188 --> 00:39:16,257
Hmm.

601
00:39:16,343 --> 00:39:17,583
Well, how about this? I'll make you a
deal.

602
00:39:18,010 --> 00:39:22,114
I still have some more work to do this
afternoon, but maybe if you want to, you

603
00:39:22,115 --> 00:39:25,320
could stop by the office supply store,
pick up Craft Biz Plus, and then I could

604
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:30,238
come back to your store later today,
teach it to you in like 30 minutes, and

605
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,693
then maybe I could take you out to
dinner.

606
00:40:00,491 --> 00:40:01,561
here to pick up those decorations?

607
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,276
No, I'm still on duty, but I'll come by
on the weekend.

608
00:40:04,812 --> 00:40:06,202
So, what's up?

609
00:40:06,885 --> 00:40:08,019
Nicole's not back yet, right?

610
00:40:08,316 --> 00:40:10,263
No, but she should be back any minute
now.

611
00:40:13,319 --> 00:40:14,388
Why?

612
00:40:15,136 --> 00:40:17,852
Okay, so I just saw her arm in arm with
Matthew Mitchell.

613
00:40:19,391 --> 00:40:20,867
As in Mitchell's Arts and Crafts?

614
00:40:23,431 --> 00:40:25,377
Matthew... Mitchell.

615
00:40:25,592 --> 00:40:28,329
Yeah, they are opening up around the
corner.

616
00:40:29,761 --> 00:40:30,830
Wait, what?

617
00:40:31,514 --> 00:40:35,149
In what corner? The building that's been
under renovation on Russell Street.

618
00:40:35,874 --> 00:40:37,372
They're set to open in three weeks.

619
00:40:37,969 --> 00:40:39,275
This will ruin us.

620
00:40:40,429 --> 00:40:41,819
Nicole has no idea, does she?

621
00:40:43,508 --> 00:40:44,576
None.

622
00:40:46,759 --> 00:40:48,361
Look, I've got to get back to patrol.

623
00:40:48,616 --> 00:40:51,375
But what do you think about grabbing
dinner tonight to talk about all of

624
00:40:52,958 --> 00:40:54,028
Sure.

625
00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:55,392
Sounds great.

626
00:40:55,394 --> 00:40:57,917
Good. I'll text you when I finish.

627
00:40:58,303 --> 00:40:59,372
Sounds good.

628
00:41:00,163 --> 00:41:01,574
Oh, and, uh...

629
00:41:01,927 --> 00:41:03,338
Don't say anything to Nicole yet.

630
00:41:04,364 --> 00:41:05,432
Why not?

631
00:41:05,497 --> 00:41:10,200
I just think we need to come up with a
plan to break the news without hurting

632
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:11,271
her.

633
00:41:11,783 --> 00:41:12,852
Okay.

634
00:41:34,253 --> 00:41:35,321
That was a long lunch.

635
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:37,845
Must have been good. Oh, it was.

636
00:41:38,272 --> 00:41:39,556
It was. Lovely.

637
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:44,343
I also had some time to stop by the
office supply store and pick up the

638
00:41:44,344 --> 00:41:45,562
software. Oh, no.

639
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,509
What? Nothing.

640
00:41:47,849 --> 00:41:48,834
Hey, Nicole.

641
00:41:48,835 --> 00:41:49,903
Oh, hey.

642
00:41:50,051 --> 00:41:51,121
You're right on time.

643
00:41:51,635 --> 00:41:54,435
Thanks so much for coming by today to
give me the accounting lesson. I really

644
00:41:54,436 --> 00:41:55,847
appreciate it. You are welcome.

645
00:41:56,124 --> 00:41:57,856
And these are beautiful.

646
00:41:58,262 --> 00:41:59,737
I am glad they make you smile.

647
00:42:00,379 --> 00:42:01,725
And this is my friend, Sarah.

648
00:42:02,345 --> 00:42:03,413
Hi, Matthew.

649
00:42:04,057 --> 00:42:05,360
Perfect friend.

650
00:42:06,097 --> 00:42:09,242
The person who cares for her like nobody
else in the entire world.

651
00:42:10,908 --> 00:42:14,756
Wow, you sound like a good friend.

652
00:42:15,227 --> 00:42:17,643
Yeah, borderline crazy friend, but a
good one.

653
00:42:18,969 --> 00:42:22,346
So, what brings you around, Matthew?

654
00:42:22,839 --> 00:42:24,421
He's going to teach me Craft Biz Plus.

655
00:42:25,382 --> 00:42:26,452
Really?

656
00:42:26,964 --> 00:42:28,781
You're helping her?

657
00:42:29,039 --> 00:42:31,903
Oh, yeah. I'm the guy that's going to
upgrade your software to the 21st

658
00:42:32,929 --> 00:42:36,350
Mm -hmm. I've been trying to get you to
use that software for years. Well, yeah,

659
00:42:36,479 --> 00:42:40,325
but... You don't even know it yourself,
and Matthew does, so he's just going to

660
00:42:40,326 --> 00:42:43,297
walk me through it. When I'm done with
her, inventory will be as easy as using

661
00:42:43,298 --> 00:42:44,368
the origami goose.

662
00:42:47,788 --> 00:42:49,520
You're welcome to learn it with me if
you want.

663
00:42:50,588 --> 00:42:52,170
I don't think I see the point.

664
00:42:53,859 --> 00:42:58,414
Well, the point is to track inventory
and manage our sales better.

665
00:43:02,176 --> 00:43:04,765
Can I talk to you alone for a minute?

666
00:43:05,660 --> 00:43:06,731
No.

667
00:43:07,501 --> 00:43:08,569
Sure.

668
00:43:10,450 --> 00:43:11,520
Okay?

669
00:43:12,374 --> 00:43:16,608
What do you think you're doing?

670
00:43:17,443 --> 00:43:20,884
I'm helping Nicole learn important small
business stuff. I know who you are,

671
00:43:20,970 --> 00:43:22,252
Matthew Mitchell.

672
00:43:25,416 --> 00:43:28,792
I want her to get to know the real me
before... Before you destroy her

673
00:43:28,793 --> 00:43:29,864
work.

674
00:43:30,782 --> 00:43:33,753
You need to go in there and tell her the
truth. I'm going to.

675
00:43:34,246 --> 00:43:39,400
Just... Not yet. Tell her or I will. I
can't. I just need a little bit...

676
00:43:39,784 --> 00:43:43,888
More time. I promise I'm going to tell
her. I'm going to come clean. I just...

677
00:43:43,889 --> 00:43:46,455
really want her to get to know the real
meaning before I... Before you put her

678
00:43:46,456 --> 00:43:47,524
out of business?

679
00:43:48,762 --> 00:43:53,104
The crafty companion is all that Nicole
and Eric have left of their parents.

680
00:43:54,751 --> 00:43:58,661
I just need a little bit more time to
figure out how to work this all out.

681
00:44:00,349 --> 00:44:01,422
Please.

682
00:44:01,913 --> 00:44:02,982
Figure it out.

683
00:44:14,622 --> 00:44:15,690
What was that all about?

684
00:44:15,754 --> 00:44:22,232
Oh, uh, we were, um, just in a round of
the age -old debate between the

685
00:44:22,233 --> 00:44:25,547
difference of art and crafting.

686
00:44:26,337 --> 00:44:29,204
And I maintain that both provide the
same results.

687
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,549
And that is?

688
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:31,790
Oh.

689
00:44:33,030 --> 00:44:34,122
Bringing people together.

690
00:44:36,473 --> 00:44:38,738
So, what do you think? Should we get
started?

691
00:44:39,103 --> 00:44:40,170
Yeah, yeah.

692
00:44:40,256 --> 00:44:41,325
You know what?

693
00:44:41,775 --> 00:44:46,326
I'm gonna leave you to it. I actually
have dinner planned later tonight, so...

694
00:44:47,100 --> 00:44:49,749
I'm, uh, just gonna go.

695
00:44:51,030 --> 00:44:52,678
Okay, I will see you tomorrow.

696
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,709
I guess.

697
00:44:57,553 --> 00:44:58,941
Oh. Yeah.

698
00:44:59,541 --> 00:45:01,465
Uh, well, craft is blessed.

699
00:45:01,701 --> 00:45:03,198
Yes, craft is blessed. Okay.

700
00:45:08,007 --> 00:45:09,568
It's wrong, Eric, and you know it.

701
00:45:10,830 --> 00:45:12,860
He knew who she was from the beginning.

702
00:45:13,737 --> 00:45:15,961
He came by our craft shop. You saw him
there.

703
00:45:17,382 --> 00:45:18,601
He's sizing up the competition.

704
00:45:19,201 --> 00:45:22,771
He gets to know her, figures out her
weaknesses, and then he strikes.

705
00:45:23,646 --> 00:45:26,297
By teaching her how to use an advanced
inventory and accounting software?

706
00:45:28,477 --> 00:45:30,466
Samantha's rather counterproductive,
don't you think?

707
00:45:30,744 --> 00:45:31,814
She's deviant.

708
00:45:32,348 --> 00:45:36,686
He brings her in close so that when he
strikes, he can assure it's a deadly

709
00:45:36,687 --> 00:45:39,938
blow. Or maybe he likes her and he
really is trying to help.

710
00:45:40,771 --> 00:45:42,888
Look, I've been thinking a lot about
this.

711
00:45:43,466 --> 00:45:44,941
This needs to come from Matthew.

712
00:45:45,752 --> 00:45:47,678
He needs to be the one to tell it the
truth.

713
00:45:49,208 --> 00:45:55,256
So if he really does like her, if his
feelings for her are truly genuine, then

714
00:45:55,257 --> 00:45:57,567
what happens when she finds out the
truth?

715
00:45:59,105 --> 00:46:00,173
She'll be devastated.

716
00:46:03,103 --> 00:46:04,471
Okay, so here's my plan.

717
00:46:04,963 --> 00:46:08,211
I tell her. I'm her best friend. Okay,
sir, stop.

718
00:46:10,456 --> 00:46:11,549
We're having dinner together.

719
00:46:14,263 --> 00:46:16,486
Like two pals having dinner?

720
00:46:19,204 --> 00:46:20,505
Sure, like two pals.

721
00:46:21,650 --> 00:46:22,720
For now.

722
00:46:24,409 --> 00:46:25,476
And bread for you, Polk?

723
00:46:26,288 --> 00:46:28,469
Yeah, for you. Thank you. My pleasure.

724
00:46:30,009 --> 00:46:31,078
Maybe you're right.

725
00:46:31,762 --> 00:46:36,294
We shouldn't meddle. We should just let
Matt tell her when he's ready.

726
00:46:37,427 --> 00:46:38,496
Quiet.

727
00:46:39,438 --> 00:46:41,213
I'll call you at ten o 'clock. Hi, guys.

728
00:46:42,923 --> 00:46:45,296
Oh, wow, I didn't know this was
switching up my dinner plans.

729
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:48,416
Eric, this is Matt. Matthew.

730
00:46:49,402 --> 00:46:50,468
Heard all about you.

731
00:46:51,026 --> 00:46:52,158
Oh, you have?

732
00:46:54,233 --> 00:46:56,670
Yeah, Sarah's been raving about them all
evening.

733
00:46:56,948 --> 00:46:58,017
Oh, really?

734
00:46:58,636 --> 00:47:03,746
Oh, I wanted to tell you, Matthew, also,
she'll be this great in software. It's

735
00:47:03,747 --> 00:47:08,022
really going to help us at the store.
Great. You know, I can't think of

736
00:47:08,023 --> 00:47:11,786
stopping the business from just really
taking off now.

737
00:47:12,147 --> 00:47:13,217
Can you, Matthew?

738
00:47:14,350 --> 00:47:15,420
It's just software.

739
00:47:16,017 --> 00:47:17,643
It's really good software.

740
00:47:18,625 --> 00:47:23,244
So, Matthew, is there anything else you
want to tell Nicole about other than

741
00:47:23,245 --> 00:47:24,913
software? No, I'm actually...

742
00:47:25,169 --> 00:47:29,297
Darwin, do you want to grab a tea? Do
you two want to join us? No, rain check.

743
00:47:29,531 --> 00:47:32,586
I was actually hoping to spend a little
bit more quality time with Nicole. We

744
00:47:32,587 --> 00:47:35,665
don't want to hold you two up. Matthew,
it was a pleasure.

745
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,949
Likewise.

746
00:47:37,119 --> 00:47:39,001
Good to see you again, Sarah. Good to
see you.

747
00:47:39,686 --> 00:47:41,439
Likewise. Bye. See you later.

748
00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:43,086
Bye. Well,

749
00:47:48,430 --> 00:47:52,940
that was not subtle. But we agreed that
he had to tell her, so I was just going

750
00:47:52,941 --> 00:47:54,010
to help.

751
00:48:00,498 --> 00:48:02,979
You know, you're pretty cute when you're
all fired up.

752
00:48:03,834 --> 00:48:04,904
Thanks.

753
00:48:06,143 --> 00:48:10,975
So, for now, we agree to just let things
play out?

754
00:48:13,112 --> 00:48:15,081
If Nicole finds out that we knew.

755
00:48:17,026 --> 00:48:20,807
But I agree. She should find out for
herself.

756
00:48:24,488 --> 00:48:25,832
What do you say we enjoy this out?

757
00:48:27,138 --> 00:48:28,527
Dive in. That's pretty good.

758
00:48:29,437 --> 00:48:30,954
You should always eat your greens.

759
00:48:31,446 --> 00:48:33,284
You should always eat your greens.

760
00:48:57,368 --> 00:49:01,281
Talking and laughing with you feels
good.

761
00:49:02,244 --> 00:49:03,312
It's true.

762
00:49:06,647 --> 00:49:09,235
The way we connect is perfect.

763
00:49:10,603 --> 00:49:13,638
So, you were an art history major.

764
00:49:14,516 --> 00:49:15,498
How'd you guess?

765
00:49:15,499 --> 00:49:16,566
Shot in the dark.

766
00:49:18,257 --> 00:49:20,202
So, how long are you going to count for?

767
00:49:20,438 --> 00:49:22,489
A couple more weeks, then I'm back on
the road.

768
00:49:23,025 --> 00:49:24,092
Is that a deal breaker?

769
00:49:25,161 --> 00:49:26,231
Are we a deal?

770
00:49:26,809 --> 00:49:28,475
I would like it to be a deal.

771
00:49:30,987 --> 00:49:35,027
Well, I'm concerned because every day I
want to see more of you, and I'm afraid

772
00:49:35,028 --> 00:49:36,098
I'm going to be seeing less.

773
00:49:37,531 --> 00:49:38,598
Yeah.

774
00:49:39,606 --> 00:49:45,354
Hey, listen, there's something I need to
tell you, and it's not easy for me, but

775
00:49:45,355 --> 00:49:48,433
I haven't been entirely forthcoming with
you.

776
00:49:49,312 --> 00:49:50,228
Oh, my gosh.

777
00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:52,881
You're actually married, and you have a
family in another state across the

778
00:49:52,882 --> 00:49:53,950
country. Wow, no.

779
00:49:54,228 --> 00:49:56,324
That's not it. That's crazy. Does that
happen?

780
00:49:56,686 --> 00:49:58,312
Oh, yeah. I read about it in blog.

781
00:49:59,016 --> 00:50:00,086
No.

782
00:50:00,609 --> 00:50:03,858
I'm not married, and I don't have a
family. Well, I mean, I have a family,

783
00:50:03,859 --> 00:50:04,929
not like a family family.

784
00:50:05,335 --> 00:50:09,677
Listen, what I'm trying to say is...
Mitchell's!

785
00:50:10,210 --> 00:50:11,278
Mitchell's? Yes!

786
00:50:11,771 --> 00:50:14,657
Mitchell's Arts and Crafts, the big
chain trying to buy my store! The enemy!

787
00:50:14,913 --> 00:50:15,983
We have to follow that truck.

788
00:50:16,303 --> 00:50:17,372
Wait, Nicole! Hey!

789
00:50:42,428 --> 00:50:44,525
Still in town somewhere, though, I can
smell the stink of corporatism.

790
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:48,309
I don't smell anything.

791
00:50:48,351 --> 00:50:49,421
Oh, I can.

792
00:50:49,550 --> 00:50:51,194
Do you think they've been trying to get
rid of me for months?

793
00:50:52,242 --> 00:50:53,311
Hmm.

794
00:50:54,467 --> 00:50:57,074
Anyway, what were you going to tell me
before?

795
00:50:57,543 --> 00:51:00,535
What? Before we started running, you
were about to tell me something. You

796
00:51:00,536 --> 00:51:01,582
what? I don't remember.

797
00:51:01,585 --> 00:51:03,703
But I guess if I block Sprint, we'll do
that to you.

798
00:51:05,412 --> 00:51:06,481
Okay.

799
00:51:06,545 --> 00:51:07,615
What do you say I walk you home?

800
00:51:08,129 --> 00:51:10,798
Oh, well, actually, I have to go back to
the Crafty Companion and finish up

801
00:51:10,799 --> 00:51:11,870
inventory.

802
00:51:11,934 --> 00:51:13,002
It's so late.

803
00:51:13,066 --> 00:51:13,973
Oh, not even.

804
00:51:13,974 --> 00:51:15,364
taught me that software, it should be a
piece of cake.

805
00:51:17,245 --> 00:51:18,315
Right.

806
00:51:18,571 --> 00:51:20,964
Okay. Uh, lead the way.

807
00:51:30,778 --> 00:51:31,849
Well,

808
00:51:35,269 --> 00:51:37,449
I, um, I had a really nice night.

809
00:51:39,266 --> 00:51:40,337
Yeah, me too.

810
00:51:40,805 --> 00:51:42,815
Uh, good night, Nicole.

811
00:52:10,375 --> 00:52:13,709
Hey, Matt. Hey, Luke. Yeah, I know it's
late. Sorry. Thank you for picking up.

812
00:52:13,816 --> 00:52:16,616
We've got to get that truck unloaded and
out of sight tonight.

813
00:52:17,364 --> 00:52:20,037
What's the rush? I don't have time to
explain. We've just got to get it done.

814
00:52:20,038 --> 00:52:21,277
I'm going to head over there right now
to help.

815
00:52:22,092 --> 00:52:26,365
Yeah. Well, I think if we both work at
this, we could probably get this truck

816
00:52:26,366 --> 00:52:28,141
out of here around 6 a .m. That's the
spirit.

817
00:52:28,781 --> 00:52:31,754
All right. Just remember this come
Christmas bonus season, all right? Will

818
00:52:32,161 --> 00:52:33,228
Thank you.

819
00:52:38,402 --> 00:52:39,472
Morning, Dad.

820
00:52:41,193 --> 00:52:42,263
Any updates?

821
00:52:43,010 --> 00:52:44,551
In a roundabout way.

822
00:52:44,999 --> 00:52:46,070
What's the problem now?

823
00:52:46,794 --> 00:52:49,873
Latest shipment of inventory arrived
last night. We had the truck unloaded by

824
00:52:49,874 --> 00:52:52,163
morning. Overtime? As necessary?

825
00:52:52,503 --> 00:52:53,872
I mean, how much did that cost us?

826
00:52:54,834 --> 00:52:56,587
Luke and I took care of it. Good.

827
00:52:57,079 --> 00:52:58,938
I don't know what we'd do without Luke.

828
00:52:59,236 --> 00:53:01,416
I will take care of him. Good.

829
00:53:02,338 --> 00:53:03,578
What are you not telling me?

830
00:53:06,699 --> 00:53:07,769
Can we sit?

831
00:53:07,854 --> 00:53:08,922
Sure.

832
00:53:18,042 --> 00:53:19,109
Dad, I'm in love.

833
00:53:20,435 --> 00:53:21,504
Oh.

834
00:53:22,211 --> 00:53:24,092
That's why you've been so distracting
lately.

835
00:53:24,562 --> 00:53:25,630
Yeah. Who is she?

836
00:53:26,251 --> 00:53:32,515
Her hair flows off her shoulders and
floats in the air like it defies

837
00:53:33,050 --> 00:53:37,302
And her eyes are so big and expressive,
they belong on a character in a

838
00:53:37,303 --> 00:53:38,373
children's book.

839
00:53:38,992 --> 00:53:43,182
Dad, her face is so perfect that Da
Vinci would have trouble capturing every

840
00:53:43,183 --> 00:53:44,253
detail.

841
00:53:44,380 --> 00:53:45,448
And she can...

842
00:53:45,803 --> 00:53:49,114
She can stare at a painting for as long
as I can, and she understands the fact

843
00:53:49,115 --> 00:53:52,944
that crafting makes this messy world a
better place.

844
00:53:54,355 --> 00:54:01,346
I feel like I know exactly how she feels
at every moment, and it's very strange,

845
00:54:01,410 --> 00:54:04,381
but also very wonderful.

846
00:54:05,813 --> 00:54:08,209
Sounds like maybe you found your own
queen.

847
00:54:08,550 --> 00:54:13,190
Her name is Nicole Borden, and she owns
the Crafty Companion.

848
00:54:13,661 --> 00:54:14,731
Oh.

849
00:54:15,413 --> 00:54:18,578
Oh, the truth finally comes out.

850
00:54:19,026 --> 00:54:20,224
Let me guess.

851
00:54:20,994 --> 00:54:27,044
She doesn't know who you are. And you
haven't even discussed the offer yet?

852
00:54:27,342 --> 00:54:31,170
She knows who I am, even if she doesn't
know exactly what I do. And no, I'm

853
00:54:31,171 --> 00:54:35,147
sorry. I haven't had a chance to talk to
her. Always with the apology. She's

854
00:54:35,148 --> 00:54:39,272
mad. I mean, sorry doesn't pay the bill.
Sorry doesn't grow the business.

855
00:54:39,595 --> 00:54:41,561
Sorry is... Dad, what? Stop.

856
00:54:44,126 --> 00:54:46,500
All you literally care about is work.

857
00:54:47,033 --> 00:54:51,544
And money. You used to say that this was
a family -owned business, but ever

858
00:54:51,545 --> 00:54:53,533
since Mom died, all you care about is
money.

859
00:54:55,477 --> 00:54:57,445
Did you not hear a word that I just said
to you?

860
00:54:58,814 --> 00:55:03,346
For the first time in as long as I can
remember, I feel something, something

861
00:55:03,347 --> 00:55:07,387
special. So, no, I don't care about your
bottom line. I care that I'm about to

862
00:55:07,388 --> 00:55:09,225
lose the only woman that I've ever found
love with.

863
00:55:12,540 --> 00:55:13,609
No apologies.

864
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,805
It's me who should be sorry for the way
I've been treating you.

865
00:55:23,305 --> 00:55:24,373
And you're right.

866
00:55:25,251 --> 00:55:32,583
When your mom died, I buried myself in
work to ease the pain

867
00:55:32,584 --> 00:55:33,652
of losing her.

868
00:55:33,952 --> 00:55:40,261
And I guess I never bothered to try to
pull myself out of it.

869
00:55:45,261 --> 00:55:52,316
Don't ever believe money is worth more
than love. I would trade my entire

870
00:55:52,317 --> 00:55:57,052
empire for one more time. Stay with your
mother.

871
00:56:03,594 --> 00:56:04,879
I miss my queen.

872
00:56:06,246 --> 00:56:10,822
Oh, she sure knew how to keep us in
check, didn't she?

873
00:56:11,611 --> 00:56:12,681
She did.

874
00:56:15,780 --> 00:56:19,244
Maybe this woman is going to become your
wife, Maddie.

875
00:56:20,677 --> 00:56:22,282
How am I going to work this out, Dad?

876
00:56:22,836 --> 00:56:24,954
We're likely going to put her out of
business either way.

877
00:56:31,547 --> 00:56:33,067
When I met your mom, I was broke.

878
00:56:34,650 --> 00:56:41,275
Scraping by to pay the rent and your mom
takes me to meet your grandparents for

879
00:56:41,276 --> 00:56:45,552
dinner. They were not exactly impressed
that she was dating a starving artist.

880
00:56:45,851 --> 00:56:48,610
They did everything they could to keep
us apart. Everything.

881
00:56:49,828 --> 00:56:51,410
But nothing good.

882
00:56:52,288 --> 00:56:53,355
What happened?

883
00:56:54,361 --> 00:56:55,771
I worked two jobs.

884
00:56:56,349 --> 00:56:59,642
Saved up enough money to buy this.

885
00:57:05,586 --> 00:57:07,894
I used to love seeing that on Mom's
finger.

886
00:57:08,492 --> 00:57:09,562
Yeah.

887
00:57:10,567 --> 00:57:13,176
I hope you found the love of your life,
Maddie.

888
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:18,968
This girl may be the one.

889
00:57:22,111 --> 00:57:23,736
And it's just all so complicated.

890
00:57:26,066 --> 00:57:29,038
I'm sure you've got to find a way to do
what's right for you both.

891
00:57:31,860 --> 00:57:32,931
Thanks, Dad.

892
00:57:34,427 --> 00:57:35,773
Have a great day.

893
00:57:38,735 --> 00:57:39,804
Hey, Eric.

894
00:57:40,254 --> 00:57:41,322
Good morning.

895
00:57:41,813 --> 00:57:43,140
Your sister's not in yet.

896
00:57:43,694 --> 00:57:44,872
I'm actually not here to see her.

897
00:57:45,811 --> 00:57:46,881
Look,

898
00:57:47,522 --> 00:57:52,632
this has taken me a long time, but...
Well, here it goes.

899
00:57:54,577 --> 00:57:55,645
Will you go on a date with me?

900
00:57:56,801 --> 00:57:59,193
Preferably one where we're not talking
about my sister the whole time.

901
00:58:00,414 --> 00:58:02,253
Like a real date?

902
00:58:02,788 --> 00:58:03,855
Yeah, like a real date.

903
00:58:04,755 --> 00:58:05,822
Just the two of us.

904
00:58:06,678 --> 00:58:07,833
I thought you'd never ask.

905
00:58:10,847 --> 00:58:13,605
What, do you want to check your schedule
and text me? Sounds like a plan.

906
00:58:15,976 --> 00:58:17,132
Well, then I will see you later.

907
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:18,886
Okay. All right.

908
00:58:19,355 --> 00:58:20,427
Bye.

909
00:58:20,617 --> 00:58:21,685
Bye.

910
00:58:31,671 --> 00:58:32,740
Hey,

911
00:58:38,897 --> 00:58:39,966
what's that?

912
00:58:41,474 --> 00:58:44,509
I forgot to tell you your father called
yesterday, but I stalled him.

913
00:58:44,831 --> 00:58:46,240
I told him everything this morning.

914
00:58:46,839 --> 00:58:47,907
Oh, good.

915
00:58:48,380 --> 00:58:51,778
How much longer I could avoid my boss's
boss. Thank you.

916
00:58:53,063 --> 00:58:54,536
You know what? You were right.

917
00:58:55,136 --> 00:58:56,590
Let's go ahead and hang this sign.

918
00:58:57,166 --> 00:59:00,011
The element of surprise is not effective
in business.

919
00:59:01,549 --> 00:59:02,618
So you told her.

920
00:59:03,281 --> 00:59:04,350
I'm going to tell her today.

921
00:59:05,163 --> 00:59:06,638
All right. I'll hang it this afternoon.

922
00:59:07,256 --> 00:59:08,327
All right.

923
00:59:08,498 --> 00:59:09,694
Let's get to work. Let's do it.

924
00:59:15,883 --> 00:59:16,953
All right, I'll call you back.

925
00:59:20,887 --> 00:59:23,046
I'm looking for a Nicole Borden.

926
00:59:23,260 --> 00:59:24,478
Yeah, I'm her.

927
00:59:25,186 --> 00:59:27,386
I'm Lloyd Worth, Judith's brother.

928
00:59:29,096 --> 00:59:32,988
Oh, we were just about to call her about
our lease renewal. How is she?

929
00:59:34,162 --> 00:59:35,234
She's gone.

930
00:59:36,324 --> 00:59:37,219
What do you mean?

931
00:59:37,220 --> 00:59:39,251
She passed away a few days ago.

932
00:59:40,813 --> 00:59:41,881
Oh, my gosh.

933
00:59:42,886 --> 00:59:44,083
Well, what happened?

934
00:59:44,596 --> 00:59:45,986
She went peacefully in her sleep.

935
00:59:46,521 --> 00:59:48,853
No doubt dreaming of her next big craft
project.

936
00:59:50,199 --> 00:59:51,267
Wow.

937
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:56,912
We're really going to miss her. I mean,
she was always so kind to me and such a

938
00:59:56,913 --> 00:59:57,980
lovely woman.

939
00:59:58,108 --> 01:00:02,106
Do you have the funeral arrangement
information? I know we'd probably like

940
01:00:02,107 --> 01:00:03,177
pay our respects.

941
01:00:03,197 --> 01:00:04,265
Oh, of course.

942
01:00:04,823 --> 01:00:09,246
But I didn't come by to tell you of my
sister's passing. I came to tell you

943
01:00:09,247 --> 01:00:11,621
I won't be renewing the Crafty Companion
belief.

944
01:00:12,005 --> 01:00:13,630
What? Why not?

945
01:00:14,089 --> 01:00:17,638
Why, I already spoke to the new owners
of a Frosty Froyo. They didn't flinch

946
01:00:17,639 --> 01:00:19,455
when I quoted them a rent twice what
you're paying.

947
01:00:20,161 --> 01:00:23,582
There's got to be something that we
can... I'll give you until the end of

948
01:00:23,583 --> 01:00:24,888
month to get rid of inventory.

949
01:00:25,251 --> 01:00:26,811
You'll probably want to have a sale.

950
01:00:27,922 --> 01:00:28,993
Have a nice day.

951
01:00:29,568 --> 01:00:37,030
Um, excuse me, Lloyd, but my store does
a great business, okay? And

952
01:00:37,031 --> 01:00:38,465
it has for 25 years.

953
01:00:39,981 --> 01:00:42,352
We promote the arts. The arts.

954
01:00:46,738 --> 01:00:49,387
Sorry. It's a craft store, not an art
gallery.

955
01:00:51,163 --> 01:00:54,389
Well, art comes in many forms, Mr.
Worth.

956
01:00:55,802 --> 01:00:58,945
Judith told me about you, that you're
more concerned with money than art.

957
01:00:59,714 --> 01:01:03,498
I take that as a compliment, even though
I realize that was not the intention.

958
01:01:03,904 --> 01:01:09,742
Well, we could pay more in rent if
that's what you said. I don't think so.

959
01:01:10,042 --> 01:01:14,273
Especially with a you -know -what moving
in in a couple of weeks. No, I won't

960
01:01:14,274 --> 01:01:15,288
take that chance.

961
01:01:15,290 --> 01:01:18,944
I'm actually doing you a favor. I'm
helping you, you know, prevent

962
01:01:18,945 --> 01:01:19,714
the inevitable.

963
01:01:19,716 --> 01:01:21,383
So, you're welcome.

964
01:01:22,365 --> 01:01:23,413
Have a nice day.

965
01:01:23,414 --> 01:01:24,482
Again.

966
01:01:29,613 --> 01:01:32,116
Did that really just happen?

967
01:01:34,338 --> 01:01:36,434
You know what? Let's close early.

968
01:01:38,273 --> 01:01:39,428
I'm going to go for a walk.

969
01:01:39,770 --> 01:01:41,608
Just clear my head.

970
01:01:53,879 --> 01:01:54,950
Yeah, no, that's nice.

971
01:01:55,377 --> 01:01:56,445
That's good.

972
01:01:56,810 --> 01:01:57,878
Hey,

973
01:01:59,781 --> 01:02:03,117
Luke, I just noticed that the ceramic
pumpkins we ordered aren't going to be

974
01:02:03,118 --> 01:02:05,063
here in time for our grand opening in
two weeks.

975
01:02:05,405 --> 01:02:06,473
I'd like a call.

976
01:02:08,269 --> 01:02:09,338
Nicole?

977
01:02:13,635 --> 01:02:15,111
Matthew? Uh -huh.

978
01:02:16,950 --> 01:02:17,995
Matthew Mitchell?

979
01:02:17,996 --> 01:02:19,066
No, it's not how it looks.

980
01:02:20,156 --> 01:02:22,742
Okay, yeah, it is how it looks, but I
tried to tell you the other night and

981
01:02:22,743 --> 01:02:24,967
truck rolled by. Why wouldn't you tell
me sooner?

982
01:02:25,416 --> 01:02:26,913
I mean, when were you planning on it?
Today.

983
01:02:27,211 --> 01:02:29,242
I was going to tell you today. Oh, yeah,
that's convenient.

984
01:02:29,690 --> 01:02:32,342
I know I should have told you sooner.
I'm sorry.

985
01:02:33,005 --> 01:02:34,500
I messed up. You lied to me.

986
01:02:35,251 --> 01:02:36,361
You lied to me, Matthew.

987
01:02:36,662 --> 01:02:39,867
This entire time, it's been you trying
to steal my business. No, I didn't lie

988
01:02:39,868 --> 01:02:41,983
you. I just didn't tell you the whole
truth because I wanted you to get to

989
01:02:41,984 --> 01:02:44,079
me. The real me.

990
01:02:47,842 --> 01:02:50,088
Well, now I know exactly who you are,
Matthew.

991
01:02:50,772 --> 01:02:51,948
So, goodbye.

992
01:03:13,798 --> 01:03:14,867
There's your tea.

993
01:03:16,063 --> 01:03:19,869
Although, if you ask me, this is more of
a chocolate ice cream situation.

994
01:03:21,772 --> 01:03:22,842
Yeah.

995
01:03:23,441 --> 01:03:25,344
I don't even think ice cream could fix
this one.

996
01:03:27,395 --> 01:03:28,978
You ready to tell me what happened?

997
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,008
I don't even know where to start.

998
01:03:32,524 --> 01:03:33,916
Start by taking a deep breath.

999
01:03:35,968 --> 01:03:43,174
Well, Matthew is Matthew Mitchell

1000
01:03:43,175 --> 01:03:45,270
of Mitchell's Arts and Crafts.

1001
01:03:46,518 --> 01:03:52,482
And they're opening a big store right
around the corner from Crafty Companion

1002
01:03:52,483 --> 01:03:53,553
two weeks.

1003
01:03:54,728 --> 01:03:57,807
That's what Lloyd was talking about when
he broke our lease. I'm so glad he

1004
01:03:57,808 --> 01:03:58,878
found out.

1005
01:04:00,586 --> 01:04:05,548
You knew? I was going to tell you,
except he was helping you with the

1006
01:04:05,591 --> 01:04:10,699
and then when I confronted him outside,
he promised me he would tell you.

1007
01:04:11,105 --> 01:04:14,376
I wish you would have told me, Sarah. I
am so sorry.

1008
01:04:15,767 --> 01:04:17,648
I thought it was best...

1009
01:04:17,927 --> 01:04:19,123
That he told you.

1010
01:04:21,432 --> 01:04:22,629
What am I going to do?

1011
01:04:24,510 --> 01:04:27,077
I can't compete with a big chain like
Mitchell's.

1012
01:04:29,556 --> 01:04:36,803
I feel like I'm letting them down.

1013
01:04:37,937 --> 01:04:39,584
You're not letting them down.

1014
01:04:41,315 --> 01:04:43,603
But we might want to update our resumes.

1015
01:04:44,908 --> 01:04:46,617
Yeah, that's probably a smart idea.

1016
01:04:49,515 --> 01:04:51,034
I think Grafton Companion's finished.

1017
01:04:53,833 --> 01:04:56,977
And once Mitchell finds out that we
don't even have a lease anymore, I mean,

1018
01:04:56,998 --> 01:04:58,622
there's not even going to be a buyout
offer.

1019
01:05:01,487 --> 01:05:08,927
I guess we'll start packing up

1020
01:05:08,928 --> 01:05:09,997
in the morning.

1021
01:05:12,496 --> 01:05:19,829
How about you go take a long hot shower,
and afterwards we can order some food

1022
01:05:19,830 --> 01:05:20,899
that's bad for us.

1023
01:05:28,479 --> 01:05:29,549
That sounds nice.

1024
01:05:38,165 --> 01:05:39,234
Special delivery.

1025
01:05:39,597 --> 01:05:41,969
Special delivery? I don't think we're
expecting anything.

1026
01:05:42,566 --> 01:05:45,284
Well, considering a guy around the
corner just gave it to me with a pretty

1027
01:05:45,285 --> 01:05:46,865
tip, I call it special delivery.

1028
01:05:47,230 --> 01:05:49,603
Oh. Thank you. Have a good day.

1029
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,406
It's the painting that Matthew and I
looked at on our first date.

1030
01:06:11,229 --> 01:06:16,914
As much as I hate to admit it, that's a
really beautiful gift.

1031
01:06:19,909 --> 01:06:20,976
Yeah.

1032
01:06:21,491 --> 01:06:22,558
It really is.

1033
01:06:29,741 --> 01:06:34,124
I finally met the perfect woman, and I
wanted you to feel the same about me.

1034
01:06:34,796 --> 01:06:37,429
I knew I had a mountain to climb, and I
took a shortcut.

1035
01:06:38,305 --> 01:06:40,122
I'm sorry for not being upfront with
you.

1036
01:06:41,041 --> 01:06:42,110
Matthew.

1037
01:06:42,410 --> 01:06:43,481
P .S.

1038
01:06:43,950 --> 01:06:45,019
I'm not done climbing.

1039
01:06:50,599 --> 01:06:54,551
Okay, so the point -of -sale system on
the floor hooked up to the computer in

1040
01:06:54,552 --> 01:06:56,456
the office, right? Great. Yeah. Sorry,

1041
01:06:57,888 --> 01:07:01,459
we're closed. Grand opening's in two
weeks. So we only have about six by

1042
01:07:01,460 --> 01:07:03,105
over here. Oh, Matt.

1043
01:07:03,961 --> 01:07:05,029
What?

1044
01:07:10,225 --> 01:07:11,294
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1045
01:07:13,499 --> 01:07:14,564
Hi.

1046
01:07:17,088 --> 01:07:18,285
Nicole, I'm... Sorry?

1047
01:07:19,717 --> 01:07:20,786
Yeah, I know.

1048
01:07:24,719 --> 01:07:29,487
Look, I came here... I've got to be
honest with you, which is something that

1049
01:07:29,488 --> 01:07:32,588
wish you'd been with me, but... I don't
deserve that.

1050
01:07:33,872 --> 01:07:36,609
Can I just show you around first?

1051
01:07:43,772 --> 01:07:45,802
The cash registers are going to go right
over there.

1052
01:07:46,526 --> 01:07:47,596
Good place to start.

1053
01:07:48,196 --> 01:07:50,247
Especially since money's more important
than everything, right?

1054
01:07:53,583 --> 01:07:54,651
Right then.

1055
01:07:55,593 --> 01:07:57,304
Let's move on, shall we?

1056
01:07:58,992 --> 01:08:04,421
Just off to the right of the center
aisle, there will be pillows, throws,

1057
01:08:04,422 --> 01:08:05,493
other home decor.

1058
01:08:05,942 --> 01:08:09,533
And then you have clothing, candle, and
candle -making supplies.

1059
01:08:10,430 --> 01:08:14,023
And then by the time we hit gold leaf,
we will move into other forms of...

1060
01:08:14,557 --> 01:08:15,603
Metal crafting.

1061
01:08:15,605 --> 01:08:17,850
I do love working with gold leaf.

1062
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:20,628
Me too.

1063
01:08:23,108 --> 01:08:28,475
And then in the next aisle, we will have
art and frame.

1064
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:35,037
You know, I'm really surprised, though,
that you don't have any, like, handmade

1065
01:08:35,038 --> 01:08:36,663
crafts from local artists, you know?

1066
01:08:37,219 --> 01:08:43,076
Well, we sell mass -produced decor,
so... Right, but I mean, nothing

1067
01:08:43,077 --> 01:08:44,146
the purchase of...

1068
01:08:44,211 --> 01:08:46,904
arts and crafts supplies, like seeing
the inspiration of possibilities.

1069
01:08:49,364 --> 01:08:50,433
That's interesting.

1070
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:55,112
Yeah, I mean, you know, a customer comes
in and buys a completed needlepoint

1071
01:08:55,113 --> 01:08:58,043
pillow that their neighbor made, and
then, you know, they come back and

1072
01:08:58,044 --> 01:08:59,967
they want to do it themselves from
scratch.

1073
01:09:00,181 --> 01:09:05,054
So you have a local needlepoint
enthusiast who's here teaching a

1074
01:09:05,055 --> 01:09:08,240
your craft crop, and then next thing you
know, you've got a whole bunch of new

1075
01:09:08,241 --> 01:09:10,294
needlepointers that are buying up all
your needlepoint kits.

1076
01:09:12,665 --> 01:09:15,491
That's a good tip. I will talk to Luke
about it.

1077
01:09:16,184 --> 01:09:17,252
You're welcome.

1078
01:09:18,707 --> 01:09:22,276
I've got to say, though, I'm a little
envious of all the space you have here.

1079
01:09:25,056 --> 01:09:27,771
Have you thought about doing coffee?

1080
01:09:28,477 --> 01:09:31,363
You mean like sell coffee here in the
store?

1081
01:09:32,474 --> 01:09:34,122
Yeah. Yeah, why not?

1082
01:09:34,847 --> 01:09:38,993
I mean, I would dream of doing a coffee
cart in my store, but, you know, one of

1083
01:09:38,994 --> 01:09:42,544
those real pretty ones with all the
beautiful gold fixtures and stuff.

1084
01:09:42,822 --> 01:09:44,171
It looks so cute in here.

1085
01:09:45,270 --> 01:09:48,435
And we've got the space for it. The
neighborhood could use a good coffee

1086
01:09:50,766 --> 01:09:54,462
I guess the coffee cart would bring in a
steady flow of customers.

1087
01:09:55,513 --> 01:09:56,773
But all the big bookstores do.

1088
01:09:57,179 --> 01:10:01,068
And while people are waiting for their
latte, they're wandering around the

1089
01:10:01,069 --> 01:10:05,305
and they see a display full of
handcrafted local goods. See, huh?

1090
01:10:06,009 --> 01:10:07,356
Boom. Right away.

1091
01:10:08,147 --> 01:10:09,215
Impulse buy.

1092
01:10:10,605 --> 01:10:11,805
You've thought about this a lot.

1093
01:10:14,411 --> 01:10:15,481
Guilty as charged.

1094
01:10:16,282 --> 01:10:17,351
A bit of a dreamer.

1095
01:10:18,057 --> 01:10:19,125
You're a visionary.

1096
01:10:20,857 --> 01:10:21,927
Maybe.

1097
01:10:25,605 --> 01:10:26,671
Anyway,

1098
01:10:28,190 --> 01:10:35,631
I came here to let you know that the
Crafty Companion is no longer a

1099
01:10:35,632 --> 01:10:36,786
threat to you.

1100
01:10:38,004 --> 01:10:42,878
We lost our lease, so I've decided that
I won't be moving to a new location.

1101
01:11:11,302 --> 01:11:14,360
You can't possibly be making a profit at
these bargain prices.

1102
01:11:14,787 --> 01:11:16,562
I mean, I feel so guilty.

1103
01:11:16,903 --> 01:11:18,722
Well, please don't.

1104
01:11:19,149 --> 01:11:23,081
I'm glad you're stocking up. And
besides, there's not really much we can

1105
01:11:23,082 --> 01:11:26,482
save the store anyway, so... Especially
with Mitchell's grand opening next week.

1106
01:11:26,803 --> 01:11:27,785
Oh, well.

1107
01:11:27,786 --> 01:11:28,855
Good for them.

1108
01:11:32,554 --> 01:11:33,624
Hey.

1109
01:11:35,548 --> 01:11:39,780
I put aside a big box of fall
decorations and everything we had in

1110
01:11:39,781 --> 01:11:42,582
holidays. Nicole wanted me to give them
to you, but...

1111
01:11:42,997 --> 01:11:45,651
I think we should pay. I would never rip
off my own story.

1112
01:11:46,079 --> 01:11:48,750
Even though this is bittersweet.

1113
01:11:49,113 --> 01:11:50,159
I know.

1114
01:11:50,161 --> 01:11:51,229
I feel the same.

1115
01:12:08,185 --> 01:12:09,253
Hey. What?

1116
01:12:11,841 --> 01:12:13,272
I'm sorry about the story.

1117
01:12:14,523 --> 01:12:19,311
I know how much it means to you, how
much it meant to Mom and Dad.

1118
01:12:23,373 --> 01:12:24,443
It's all of it.

1119
01:12:26,090 --> 01:12:27,157
Yeah.

1120
01:12:27,414 --> 01:12:29,660
Well, it's okay.

1121
01:12:30,194 --> 01:12:31,263
I'll be all right.

1122
01:12:32,119 --> 01:12:33,551
We all have our memories.

1123
01:12:35,368 --> 01:12:38,126
Besides, I don't know that I was really
cut out to run a business anyway.

1124
01:12:38,469 --> 01:12:39,537
I beg to differ.

1125
01:12:40,350 --> 01:12:43,277
Now, you were the only one who could
have run this business after Mom and Dad

1126
01:12:43,278 --> 01:12:44,348
passed away.

1127
01:12:44,583 --> 01:12:46,849
You would cut from the same cloth as
them.

1128
01:12:47,403 --> 01:12:51,380
I mean, Jeff, look at this place,
Nicole.

1129
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:54,908
Like they never left.

1130
01:12:58,608 --> 01:12:59,718
Spoken like a true big brother.

1131
01:13:00,787 --> 01:13:01,859
Thanks, Eric.

1132
01:13:02,796 --> 01:13:07,052
On that note, I've got to get back to
patrol, but we will talk later.

1133
01:13:07,329 --> 01:13:08,400
Okay.

1134
01:13:13,167 --> 01:13:14,236
Hey, Jason.

1135
01:13:14,728 --> 01:13:15,797
Better over here.

1136
01:13:53,488 --> 01:13:54,558
Hey, what do you think of this?

1137
01:13:55,819 --> 01:13:56,888
Good. Good?

1138
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:36,111
We had a good run.

1139
01:14:37,328 --> 01:14:38,397
Yeah, we did, didn't we?

1140
01:14:39,936 --> 01:14:41,006
25 years.

1141
01:14:43,399 --> 01:14:44,469
So it's really over.

1142
01:14:47,205 --> 01:14:49,046
It beats for the best, you know?

1143
01:14:49,835 --> 01:14:50,905
Running your own business.

1144
01:14:51,953 --> 01:14:53,021
It's hard work.

1145
01:14:53,685 --> 01:14:59,327
This way I can just get a regular job
and come home at night, put on my

1146
01:14:59,328 --> 01:15:04,376
and, I don't know, macrame or make a
wreath or something.

1147
01:15:05,228 --> 01:15:06,298
That's what I do.

1148
01:15:06,565 --> 01:15:07,633
It's pretty great.

1149
01:15:08,190 --> 01:15:10,049
But now I'll have a lot of time to
craft.

1150
01:15:10,585 --> 01:15:12,338
Is it possible to have too much time to
craft?

1151
01:15:13,234 --> 01:15:14,477
I guess we'll find out.

1152
01:15:16,273 --> 01:15:19,842
I hate to leave you, but I promised Eric
I'd meet him for dinner.

1153
01:15:20,761 --> 01:15:21,830
Do you want me to stay?

1154
01:15:22,494 --> 01:15:23,562
No, no.

1155
01:15:23,970 --> 01:15:25,037
Go enjoy your day.

1156
01:15:26,257 --> 01:15:27,325
Thanks.

1157
01:15:27,967 --> 01:15:30,276
He really does make me happy.

1158
01:15:31,238 --> 01:15:32,308
Well, good.

1159
01:15:32,861 --> 01:15:33,931
He's a great guy.

1160
01:15:34,595 --> 01:15:37,223
Take it from me, I've kind of known him
his whole life.

1161
01:16:16,947 --> 01:16:18,015
Hey, Dad.

1162
01:16:18,423 --> 01:16:20,196
Matthew. Come in.

1163
01:16:20,710 --> 01:16:22,912
Are we ready for the grand opening?

1164
01:16:23,211 --> 01:16:25,070
Actually, I am postponing it.

1165
01:16:25,818 --> 01:16:26,888
Why the delay?

1166
01:16:26,975 --> 01:16:29,176
Because with this location, I'm changing
things.

1167
01:16:29,391 --> 01:16:31,379
I'm expanding the types of things that
we sell.

1168
01:16:31,869 --> 01:16:32,939
Reinventing the wheel.

1169
01:16:33,579 --> 01:16:35,013
Wheel works. It's round.

1170
01:16:35,504 --> 01:16:39,693
Any other shape and you're in for a
bumpy ride. Hear me out, okay? Imagine a

1171
01:16:39,694 --> 01:16:44,654
store that sells handmade crafts made by
local artisans that will inspire new

1172
01:16:44,655 --> 01:16:46,088
hobbyists to buy craft supplies.

1173
01:16:46,911 --> 01:16:48,922
Events hosted by local artists.

1174
01:16:49,455 --> 01:16:53,946
And an espresso cart that'll help
generate new customers.

1175
01:16:54,544 --> 01:16:56,512
Are these your ideas, Luke?

1176
01:16:58,028 --> 01:16:59,140
Actually, they're Nicole's.

1177
01:17:01,021 --> 01:17:02,197
The woman you love.

1178
01:17:03,203 --> 01:17:04,271
Sounds risky.

1179
01:17:04,528 --> 01:17:06,411
You took some risks over the years.

1180
01:17:07,926 --> 01:17:10,813
So I take it your conversation with her
went well.

1181
01:17:11,732 --> 01:17:13,722
No, actually, it didn't.

1182
01:17:14,277 --> 01:17:17,931
But you will be happy to know that she
has decided to close her store and it...

1183
01:17:18,928 --> 01:17:20,251
It isn't going to cost you a penny.

1184
01:17:21,002 --> 01:17:22,071
Sounds good.

1185
01:17:22,647 --> 01:17:25,170
But I can tell you it hasn't made you
happy.

1186
01:17:27,201 --> 01:17:28,269
Come on, Dad.

1187
01:17:29,104 --> 01:17:33,251
We got to do something to fix this. I
mean, we just ruined that woman's life.

1188
01:17:34,791 --> 01:17:38,470
Well, how to fix it is now up to you.

1189
01:17:39,899 --> 01:17:40,970
What do you mean?

1190
01:17:42,465 --> 01:17:43,899
Because I'm officially retiring.

1191
01:17:46,721 --> 01:17:47,788
Business is yours.

1192
01:17:50,345 --> 01:17:53,958
Enjoy the office, and good luck with
your expansion plan.

1193
01:17:54,279 --> 01:17:56,866
I'm sorry, I don't follow. Why all of a
sudden?

1194
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,112
It's been a long time coming, Matt.

1195
01:18:00,715 --> 01:18:03,364
You know, it was that conversation we
had the other day.

1196
01:18:04,391 --> 01:18:08,924
It made me realize there is more to life
than business.

1197
01:18:11,382 --> 01:18:15,015
Something I hadn't even considered
before we lost your mom.

1198
01:18:17,475 --> 01:18:19,763
I think that's the first time I've ever
heard you say that.

1199
01:18:20,748 --> 01:18:21,815
I'm proud of you, Dad.

1200
01:18:23,183 --> 01:18:24,660
Oh, and one more thing.

1201
01:18:25,428 --> 01:18:27,097
I think it's time you had that.

1202
01:18:28,915 --> 01:18:29,981
Are you sure?

1203
01:18:39,496 --> 01:18:41,954
I know true love when I see it.

1204
01:18:42,277 --> 01:18:43,344
And you're in love.

1205
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:45,290
Just like I was.

1206
01:18:52,699 --> 01:18:54,580
Thank you with all of my heart. Thank
you.

1207
01:18:55,820 --> 01:18:56,889
You're welcome.

1208
01:19:02,276 --> 01:19:03,344
Hey, Dad?

1209
01:19:07,215 --> 01:19:08,283
I love you.

1210
01:19:10,380 --> 01:19:11,769
I love you, too, son.

1211
01:19:31,108 --> 01:19:32,068
Hey, look.

1212
01:19:32,069 --> 01:19:34,144
What is that?

1213
01:19:34,593 --> 01:19:35,660
Ah.

1214
01:19:36,047 --> 01:19:38,076
This is the curveball you threw my way.

1215
01:19:38,440 --> 01:19:39,510
You want to take a look?

1216
01:19:39,765 --> 01:19:40,835
Yeah, sure.

1217
01:19:42,460 --> 01:19:43,528
Ta -da.

1218
01:19:44,854 --> 01:19:45,922
Wow. Huh?

1219
01:19:46,480 --> 01:19:47,375
She's a beauty.

1220
01:19:47,377 --> 01:19:51,673
Yep, yep, yep. I've never operated a
coffee maker this fancy before, so there

1221
01:19:51,674 --> 01:19:52,745
may be a learning curve.

1222
01:19:52,957 --> 01:19:54,391
Don't worry. We're going to hire a
barista.

1223
01:19:55,159 --> 01:19:58,301
I was going to suggest that. I just
didn't want you to think I wasn't up for

1224
01:19:58,302 --> 01:19:59,372
task.

1225
01:20:00,075 --> 01:20:02,664
Luke, you are always... Up for the task.
Thanks.

1226
01:20:03,496 --> 01:20:05,271
Which is why I have a new task for you.

1227
01:20:06,748 --> 01:20:07,817
What's that?

1228
01:20:08,737 --> 01:20:10,681
I need a new senior vice president of
operations.

1229
01:20:12,735 --> 01:20:15,149
Um, where are you going?

1230
01:20:15,747 --> 01:20:18,742
Dad is officially retiring, so I'm going
to take over the day -to -day

1231
01:20:18,743 --> 01:20:22,011
operations, and I need someone to
oversee the operations around the

1232
01:20:25,923 --> 01:20:27,784
Uh... It's a big pay raise.

1233
01:20:28,510 --> 01:20:29,580
What do you think?

1234
01:20:32,681 --> 01:20:34,028
Think I'm your new replacement.

1235
01:20:34,263 --> 01:20:37,340
Yeah? Yeah, thank you. Hey, but now you
really won't be able to do everything

1236
01:20:37,341 --> 01:20:38,410
around here yourself.

1237
01:20:38,580 --> 01:20:41,873
Delegating will be your new way of life.
Yeah, I can get used to that.

1238
01:20:42,836 --> 01:20:43,905
To a degree.

1239
01:20:44,911 --> 01:20:45,978
Maybe.

1240
01:20:46,171 --> 01:20:50,917
Wait, wait, who's going to run the
store, then? I'm not sure yet, but I

1241
01:20:50,918 --> 01:20:52,028
couple of good candidates in mind.

1242
01:20:52,906 --> 01:20:55,022
All right. All right.

1243
01:20:55,877 --> 01:20:57,011
Talk to you soon. Wow.

1244
01:20:57,418 --> 01:20:58,486
Thanks, boss.

1245
01:20:58,549 --> 01:20:59,724
You are the boss now.

1246
01:21:09,860 --> 01:21:14,072
What can I get you? So we finished up
virtually all of the inventory.

1247
01:21:14,886 --> 01:21:17,791
Nicole is lucky to have such a good
partner and friend to help.

1248
01:21:19,076 --> 01:21:23,179
And I really appreciate everything
you've done for our family, too.

1249
01:21:24,269 --> 01:21:26,151
You're pretty amazing.

1250
01:21:27,029 --> 01:21:28,954
I think you're pretty amazing, too.

1251
01:21:32,909 --> 01:21:35,002
Okay, so I gotta be honest.

1252
01:21:36,284 --> 01:21:40,112
I have wanted to ask you out for the
longest time.

1253
01:21:42,667 --> 01:21:48,287
Since we're being completely honest,
from the moment Nicole introduced me to

1254
01:21:48,288 --> 01:21:50,515
you, I was hoping you would.

1255
01:21:51,583 --> 01:21:57,802
I remember it was my first day of the
Crafty Companion, and all of a sudden,

1256
01:21:57,803 --> 01:22:00,563
walks her cute brother, and what do I
do?

1257
01:22:00,776 --> 01:22:01,865
You got there with a flower.

1258
01:22:03,128 --> 01:22:05,544
I can't believe you remember that. Of
course I remember that.

1259
01:22:06,527 --> 01:22:07,894
I really like that babe.

1260
01:22:09,265 --> 01:22:12,492
And she just happened to hire the cutest
employee.

1261
01:22:13,624 --> 01:22:14,693
How could I forget?

1262
01:22:16,276 --> 01:22:20,058
I was so nervous that Nicole was going
to fire me on the spot. Nah, she would

1263
01:22:20,059 --> 01:22:21,131
never fire you.

1264
01:22:21,685 --> 01:22:23,760
She's lucky to find someone with such
great values.

1265
01:22:24,935 --> 01:22:26,345
It's a hard quality to find.

1266
01:22:27,693 --> 01:22:28,762
Well, look at you.

1267
01:22:30,363 --> 01:22:36,672
You both lost your parents, Nicole took
over the store, and you never gave up

1268
01:22:36,673 --> 01:22:38,574
your dream of protecting the town you
grew up in.

1269
01:22:39,132 --> 01:22:42,744
Yeah, the community means so much to me
and Nicole.

1270
01:22:48,644 --> 01:22:50,140
means so much for the community.

1271
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:58,136
To the Crafted Companion.

1272
01:23:01,878 --> 01:23:02,947
It's a new beginning.

1273
01:23:21,528 --> 01:23:22,597
Nickel for your thoughts.

1274
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:24,350
I thought it was a penny.

1275
01:23:25,418 --> 01:23:26,487
Factoring for inflation.

1276
01:23:27,812 --> 01:23:28,882
Got you down.

1277
01:23:29,993 --> 01:23:33,327
I should feel like I'm on top of the
world right now. But all I can think

1278
01:23:33,328 --> 01:23:35,252
is the fact that I just ruined that poor
woman's life.

1279
01:23:35,980 --> 01:23:40,040
A woman that I am absolutely in love
with and now likely wants nothing to do

1280
01:23:40,042 --> 01:23:41,110
with me.

1281
01:23:43,526 --> 01:23:46,092
Try to put some trust in the universe?

1282
01:23:47,888 --> 01:23:50,901
Things have a way of always working out.

1283
01:23:52,035 --> 01:23:53,105
You think so?

1284
01:23:54,987 --> 01:23:56,054
You got me this far.

1285
01:23:57,232 --> 01:23:58,299
Thanks.

1286
01:23:59,861 --> 01:24:00,929
You're cool.

1287
01:24:02,469 --> 01:24:06,296
I, uh... I honestly didn't think I'd see
you again.

1288
01:24:10,721 --> 01:24:13,908
Wow. You took me seriously about the
coffee cart.

1289
01:24:15,382 --> 01:24:18,204
Putting a coffee cart in an arts and
crafts store, that's crazy.

1290
01:24:19,424 --> 01:24:24,874
Yeah, the boutique will be teeming with
connoisseurs sipping lattes and admiring

1291
01:24:24,875 --> 01:24:25,943
decoupage.

1292
01:24:26,736 --> 01:24:27,868
You say so.

1293
01:24:29,301 --> 01:24:30,369
Because you said so.

1294
01:24:32,871 --> 01:24:35,608
I'm really glad you're here. I want to
show you something.

1295
01:24:36,142 --> 01:24:38,901
I was thinking about hanging this behind
the copy cart.

1296
01:24:40,718 --> 01:24:41,787
What do you think?

1297
01:24:46,726 --> 01:24:47,795
I think it's beautiful.

1298
01:24:48,929 --> 01:24:51,472
And I think you're far more talented
than you realize.

1299
01:24:53,866 --> 01:24:55,021
You really outdid yourself.

1300
01:24:55,342 --> 01:24:56,517
Can you ever forgive me?

1301
01:25:01,692 --> 01:25:07,975
Look, Matthew, all I can think about is
us walking through the park arm -in -arm

1302
01:25:07,976 --> 01:25:14,305
and bird -watching and looking at the
widow art display holding hands and

1303
01:25:14,306 --> 01:25:19,607
discussing the nuances of scrapbooking
and a lifetime of crafting over caramel

1304
01:25:19,608 --> 01:25:26,296
lattes. And I just... The more I think
about it, the more I realize that you

1305
01:25:26,297 --> 01:25:27,946
a genuine person who made a mistake.

1306
01:25:28,307 --> 01:25:30,211
And I am. I am that genuine person.

1307
01:25:30,618 --> 01:25:31,902
I am so sorry.

1308
01:25:32,585 --> 01:25:36,561
And if you just give me another chance
to show you, I will never let you down.

1309
01:25:41,307 --> 01:25:42,377
Look, Matthew.

1310
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,603
You know, crafting is just as much about
building something outside of ourselves

1311
01:25:49,604 --> 01:25:52,297
as it is becoming our whole selves.

1312
01:25:53,023 --> 01:25:54,050
I'm Nicole.

1313
01:25:54,051 --> 01:25:55,118
I'm Matthew.

1314
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:56,229
Nice to meet you, Nicole.

1315
01:25:58,069 --> 01:26:01,470
We're all crafters, creators, being
artists.

1316
01:26:02,452 --> 01:26:03,521
It's in our blood.

1317
01:26:04,740 --> 01:26:08,780
It doesn't matter if you're painting a
masterpiece or decoupaging a collage or

1318
01:26:08,781 --> 01:26:09,850
sewing a quilt.

1319
01:26:10,021 --> 01:26:12,479
Your art is a piece of you that reflects
back into the world.

1320
01:26:15,194 --> 01:26:19,236
I haven't been entirely forthcoming with
you. It's not how it looks.

1321
01:26:19,898 --> 01:26:21,865
I know I should have told you sooner.
I'm sorry.

1322
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:23,469
I messed up.

1323
01:26:23,618 --> 01:26:24,687
See ya.

1324
01:26:26,868 --> 01:26:27,937
I'm not done climbing.

1325
01:26:33,538 --> 01:26:34,607
I forgive you.

1326
01:26:39,867 --> 01:26:41,920
So there's a fifth date on the table.

1327
01:26:42,282 --> 01:26:45,811
Well, I prefer to think of it as a
second first date.

1328
01:26:46,238 --> 01:26:47,308
Clean canvas.

1329
01:26:47,435 --> 01:26:48,502
Yeah.

1330
01:26:49,958 --> 01:26:51,755
There is just one problem.

1331
01:26:52,481 --> 01:26:53,483
What's that?

1332
01:26:53,484 --> 01:26:56,905
Well, with all the improvements, which I
do want to implement in all of our

1333
01:26:56,906 --> 01:27:01,631
locations, I had this crazy idea that
maybe it was time to refresh the company

1334
01:27:01,632 --> 01:27:02,700
name, too.

1335
01:27:03,469 --> 01:27:04,753
How would you feel about a merger?

1336
01:27:05,671 --> 01:27:08,858
What? Your family's legacy could live on
with Mitchell.

1337
01:27:10,141 --> 01:27:11,210
How does...

1338
01:27:11,797 --> 01:27:13,978
Mitchell's crafty companion. Sound to
you?

1339
01:27:16,138 --> 01:27:21,184
I could use a great partner, and
together, we would make an unstoppable

1340
01:27:21,697 --> 01:27:22,787
There is one more thing.

1341
01:27:23,064 --> 01:27:26,208
I don't have a general manager for this
store.

1342
01:27:26,592 --> 01:27:28,409
Sarah would be perfect.

1343
01:27:29,031 --> 01:27:30,162
Are you serious?

1344
01:27:34,759 --> 01:27:35,828
I accept.

1345
01:27:58,470 --> 01:28:01,912
Hey, I've been, uh... I'm meaning to
talk to you about something.

1346
01:28:02,317 --> 01:28:03,814
Yeah? About what?

1347
01:28:04,221 --> 01:28:07,790
Well, Mitchell started off as a family
business, and I'd really like it to stay

1348
01:28:07,791 --> 01:28:12,856
that way. And I know this might seem
sudden, but I know in my heart and soul

1349
01:28:12,857 --> 01:28:13,947
that we are meant to be together.

1350
01:28:14,249 --> 01:28:17,711
And I can think of no better time or
place to do this than at the launch of

1351
01:28:17,712 --> 01:28:18,779
new partnership.

1352
01:28:19,850 --> 01:28:22,179
I want us to craft a life together.

1353
01:28:24,574 --> 01:28:26,518
Oh, my... Is this really happening?

1354
01:28:37,712 --> 01:28:38,780
Will you marry me?

1355
01:28:41,324 --> 01:28:43,869
Yes! Yes, absolutely!

1356
01:28:44,382 --> 01:28:45,451

the difference in rent. But I'd have to

1361
01:29:29,537 --> 01:29:30,561
find a new partner.

1362

I'll dance with her.

1363
01:29:31,824 --> 01:29:35,607
We'd have to train every day. And even
then we'd be a long shot at best.

Who doesn't love an underdog?

1365
