Just pretend like
we're two friends.

Two friends.

I like that.

So, we do not need the script?

No, we need the script.

Stick to the script,
just conversational.

Two friends...
with lines.

Uh, all right everyone.

Let's settle.

Thank you.

- We are rolling.
- Rolling.

And... action.

Welcome to A Taste of Class,

where we explore the best hidden
restaurants in the US.

I'm your host, Natalie Simmons.

I'm here today with Chef Henri.

[small laugh]

With Valentine's Day
just around the corner,

I can feel the love in the air.

Can't you?

Yes. It is a time for love.

It is also a time for roulade.

Chef Henri's roulade is rumoured
to be the best in the country.

[laughs]
Merci.

I can't wait to taste it.

Lead the way.

And cut!

All right, moving on.

Wait, wait, wait...

Are we getting a reflection
from this window?

I didn't see anything
on the monitor.

Are you sure?

Will you just humour me?

I think we need to go again.

Is that "time for love"
line working?

He feels a little forced.

Ah, ah... It's, it's fine.

I want to do another one.

Is makeup around?

We can if you want,
but I think we are good.

Here, there's a script
for the kitchen set...

Thank you, thank you.

Okay.

Okay, hi.

"Wow, this roulade tastes like
my grandmother's recipe."

Uh, let's add a "just"
and cut "recipe."

"This roulade tastes just like
my grandmother's." Thank you.

At least that way it sounds like
I have a French grandmother.

Oh, thank you so much.

Oh, yeah, how about you
ad lib a little.

You know, just have fun with it.

Brooks, I'm in three-inch heels,
I can't breathe in this dress,

and I'm freezing my butt off.

This show is not about fun, this
show is about the unreachable.

People want to want to want
something that they can't have.

Thank you.

Copy that.

Oh, by the way.

Tim called, he said he wants
to see you after wrap.

I mean, can it wait
until Wednesday?

We're really behind.

He says it needs to be today.

Oh.

Okay.

Fired?

I'm sorry, Natalie.

Wait, you're actually firing me?

You know the ratings haven't
been what we hoped.

Well, let's hire new writers.

Or I'll start writing some
of the episodes.

I appreciate that, but you're
already doing way more

than any other host.

Did they give you a reason
other than ratings?

They feel like you've lost
your authenticity.

My authenticity?

Jeez.

You know I love you, Natalie.

But I can't disagree.

Okay, well so what am I missing?

You just don't have the same
"oomph" anymore.

"Oomph," that's great.

What does that mean?

I don't know, it just seems like
you're not having fun anymore,

and it shows.

I'm sorry.

[sadly]
I'm fun. I golf!

I have just as much fun as
anybody else in this business.

That's a bit of a stretch.

Really?

Well, I can look like
I'm having fun.

I can look like I'm having
the time of my life.

Do you think I should call Tim
and tell him that?

Um, I'd say yes if I thought
he'd change his mind, but...

What am I gonna do?

Have the ice cream
that I brought you.

Brooks, you're a good boyfriend,

but I don't like chocolate
ice cream, remember?

Oh, right.

I knew that.

I mean, it'd be one thing
if I hated my job,

but I love my job.

Getting to meet new people,
getting people to open up

and talk about things
they never normally would.

Right.

[phone notification dings]

Okay. I just need to do better. If people want perfect,

I can do perfect.

That's what I do.

Mm-hmm.

This is just a temporary
setback.

Right.

No reason I can't bounce.

Right. Back.

[exhales]

Right.

I mean, I could spin being
fired, right?

[exhales]

[teary] I'm never going to work
again, am I?

Don't worry.

Call your mom, she always
cheers you up.

Well that's just poppycock.

Poppycock, is that even
a word anymore, Mom?

And what are you doing
about getting another job?

Unemployment is not a joke,
Natalie.

I know, mother.

I don't know what
I'm going to do.

Apparently, I've lost
my authenticity.

Oh.

What? What "oh?"

Well, honey. I've seen
your shows, and um,

you used to be so much more you.

You didn't hide
from anything until...

Until what?

What... what am I hiding from?

Well, I can only think of
one thing.

Zach Williams.

I'm not hiding
from Zach Williams.

That was ages ago.

Mm-hmm.

And for that entire time,
you have always refused

to talk about him, find out
what's going on in his life,

even when you've come home.

Which hasn't been often,
by the way.

Mom, I've been home.

I came home...

That Christmas.

Uh, no, honey.

We came to you that Christmas.

But if you book a flight today,

you could make it in time for
the Valentine's Day festival.

Ah, that is the last event I
would want to come home for.

Besides, I have a boyfriend.

[flatly]
Mm-hmm.

You two have plans
for Valentine's Day?

No, he has a shoot that day,
but you know.

It's the principle of matter.

Hello? Mom?

Mom?

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

[sighs]

I'm distracted.

I've been busy working on
this piece for the auction.

Oh, you and Sue still on the
festival planning committee?

You know, Sue Williams,
Zach's mother?

See, I can talk about
Zach Williams.

Co-chairs, as always.

How's that going?

Oh, it's good.

We're not as close as we used
to be since you two broke up,

but we're friends.

You know what, honey?

Don't take my word for it,
but I think that if you want

to get your authenticity back,

you are going to have to face
what you've been running from.

And half inch
serrated flange nuts.

Yeah, looks like
we've got three boxes

and two, four,
eight single units.

Okay, great.

That does it.

Hey, do you mind holding down
the fort for the afternoon?

Yeah, I've got you.

Thanks.

So, is there going to be
a second?

A second?

Date.

That thing you went on
last night?

Right.

That.

Oh, don't say that.

Jess is not going to be happy.

Why am I not going to be happy?

How do you always do that?

How does she always do that?

Hi, husband.

Hi, Zach.

Hi.

Don't hate me,
she was really great.

I don't hate you.

I love you.

And so did she.

Just like all the others,
I might add.

And I really appreciate
you setting me up.

She was really...

Great.

I heard.

And she is.

Hey, don't worry about it, man.

True love is hard to find.

Aww!

Honey, you're so sweet.

Kisses.

Mwah.

Okay, I am out.

There is only so much gush that
one man can take for the day.

Uh, you can't fool me.

You're an artist.

There's a romantic
in there somewhere.

Hmm.

I thought I owned
a hardware store.

I'll be in the studio
if anyone needs me.

[doorbell jingles]

That wasn't gushy.

Not even a little bit.

Nah, it was like a minor thing.

What is he talking about?

Seriously. We gotta work it up
next time we see him.

- We'll show him some gushy.
- Oh yeah, we gonna show him
some gushy.

Yeah.

Okay, let's see.

Um, Bob Stoddard found this
lovely little flower mart today

that is willing to donate

for the bouquet arranging
contest today.

Good.

And Jenny Stoltz has volunteered

for the valentine
decorating station.

Perfect.

How is the puppy kissing booth
coming along?

Oh, um, you know, I don't have
everything for that yet,

but I think Natalie
will be able to help me.

Oh, she's coming home
for a couple of weeks.

Oh, that's great.

Oh, you must be so happy.

Yes, I am.

Okay, Sue?

You're doing that thing again?

What thing?

That disappearing lip thing.

Oh no, I don't have
disappearing lips.

- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

Sue, I know you

I know there's something
that you want to say.

No, there isn't.

Don't make me drag it
out of you.

Well, if you want to know
the truth,

it hasn't been easy.

What hasn't been easy?

Well I just think, especially
since Natalie's coming home

for the festival...
I just...

Okay.

Sue, what's going on?

There's something I think
you should know.

You know, I wish you would've
told me that a long time ago.

Well, it was Zach's secret
to tell,

and it still is, unfortunately.

Well, it's too bad.

I always thought they were
so good together.

Yeah.

you could help me

run some errands while
you're here in town?

Yeah, sure.

Great. I just happen to have
a list handy.

Puppy Kissing booth detail.

Now you can probably get
most of these things

down at the hardware store.

Okay.

Um, I'll get started.

Uh, you're going to go now?

Yeah, is that okay?

Well, I just thought
you'd go tomorrow,

after you settle in.

No, I think I'd rather do
this now

I've got a lot of phone calls
to make this afternoon.

Really?

Yeah, that whole "serious
unemployment" thing, remember?

No, I mean, you really want

Is there a problem with me going

No, no.

Now's good.

Okay.

Are you going to go like that?

Who?

I think you know who.

So, you saw Zach.

Yes.

And how did it go?

Awkward.

Why didn't you tell me that
he gave up his art career

and bought a hardware store?

Well, I just thought that
would add insult to injury.

Yeah.

It does.

I'm sorry.

Whatever.

He can buy a hardware store,

he could buy a snow cone factory
for all I care.

A snow cone factory?

Sure.

Making snow cones.

What do I care, see?
I'm letting it go.

I don't even want to talk
about it anymore.

Oh boy.

But why a hardware store?

I mean honestly, of all
the things that he could...

And if he quit his art career,
then why didn't he come back...

You know what?
It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

I'm only home to face my fears
and let it go.

Which shouldn't
be that difficult,

considering I'm in love
with someone else.

Love?

Wow, that's a new development.

Yeah, well, you know.

Deep like, at least.

Brooks is amazing.

Oh well, I wouldn't know, since

[whispers] we've never met.

- Mom, you Face-timed with him.
- Mmmhmm.

Oh, sorry honey,
I have to get that.

Uh... Sue.

Hi, Sue.

What's up?

Oh no, no, we have to have
the auction.

That is what funds the entire
Valentine's Day festival

for next year.

Natalie?

Um, well.

- I... I... I don't know.
- No.

But I'll ask her.
Sure, I'll ask her.

Okay, bye.

Mom, I don't want to work

Well, we only have one person,
and you know we always have two.

And the auction,

it funds the entire event
for the next year.

Yes, I know.

Please?

The last item on the agenda
is the auction.

Unfortunately, Rich and June
had to drop out this year,

so Natalie has graciously
volunteered.

And do we have a partner?

Yes.

We do.

Here he is.

Zach.

You and Natalie will be
this year's auction team.

Great.

Problem solved.

Meeting adjourned.

that you had moved on.

I have, of course I have.

Well, good.

Then there's not a problem.

I know you and Sue
are all worked up

about the Valentine's thing,
but cupids you are not.

Why didn't you tell me that
Natalie was going to be here?

Oh, I'm sorry, I guess
I just forgot.

Oh, and Natalie?

Yes?

Thank you so much for your help.

Sure, of course.

Oh. And Zach, you too.

I don't know what we would've
done without you two.

Hi, I just want
to introduce myself.

I'm Jess.

Hi.

Jess and Eric are going
to be coordinating

the Sweetheart Dance this year.

Oh, okay.

And you're going to be going

Yeah, we're going to stop by and
ask about the sound equipment

and grab a bite to eat.

Two birds kinda thing.

Steve's diner is

Oh, well, we'd love to, but...

Yes, we do.

Natalie's the one who was
engaged to Zach?

Yep.

So, I totally blew that,

It's okay.

You look cute sweating bullets.

Oh wow, this is going
to be awkward.

So now you're a big TV star.

Oh.

Well, I think star's overstating
it, but I do work some.

I'm just your average TV host
and I've been really lucky.

I'm sure it's more than
just luck.

Yeah, I've worked
really hard actually,

over the last couple
of years that, um...

the sound equipment anytime.

I've got the keys to the store,

do you think you could give me
a hand when we're done?

- Sure.
- Sweet.

Oh, and maybe you and Natalie
could pick up

the rest of the decorations
at the hall?

If that's okay with you,

and then I can give you a ride
home afterward?

Sure, that sounds great.

Natalie, do you want to try
one of my fries?

They're amazing.

Oh, thank you, no.

Yes, of course.

instead of marrying me.

What?

"Dear Clara, loving you always

"Your Adoring Jed."

February 14th, 1931.

I don't know what these have
to do with Valentine's Day,

other than being pink.

Well, they're for warming your
feet on a cold winter's night.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right.

As a matter of fact, I think
Clara knit these for Jed.

For Jed?

Yes.

Well, you see... uh...

Clara used to take Jed out
dancing every night.

But Jed's poor feet just hurt
somethin' awful every time,

every time.

So she knit these for him
so that he could come home

and slip them on by the fire,
and they could snuggle up.

Oh, that was mighty nice
of Clara.

It certainly was.

She's a mighty nice lady.

Look at this.

She even, she even wrapped it up

It's nice.

Yeah. We used to have
a lot of fun.

Yeah, we really did.

I used to be so much more
comfortable in my own skin here.

Used to be?

Yeah.

I guess I've been, um...

Been accused of being
inauthentic lately.

That's interesting.

What?

Well, you've always been
the most ambitious person

I've ever known.

But the girl I remember knew
exactly who she was.

Well, she's still in here.

Somewhere.

Good.

You always brought out
the best in me, Zach.

Guess you still do.

I will take that
as a compliment.

[sighs]

Boy.

Guess we didn't need truffle
hunting after all.

Oh, oh.

[in posh accent] We really hit
the jackpot, sir.

We really, really did.
Didn't we?

We really did.

You'll have to excuse me, I can't see anything around here.

This stuff is going to be great.

Glad you think so.

How did you find out
about this place?

It's sort of something
I've gotten into.

Things in barns?

Actually, they call it
"picking."

Oh, right.

Kind of a departure
from your art, isn't it?

Sort of something I fell into
after I started working

at the hardware store.

Right.

About that, uh... how
did that get... started?

Well, I wasn't making a living
as an artist, needed a job.

So.

So, home supply?

First thing you thought of?

Well, it's honest work.

Yes.

And you know me, I've always
known my way around tools

and certainly spent enough time
in the hardware store.

That's true.

So, I was working there,

and kind of serendipitous,
actually.

So how so?

Well, when I first started
working at the store,

the owner asked me to go up
to the attic

and clear it out
of all the junk.

That's what he called it.

It turns out that the store,
about 150 years ago,

used to be a blacksmith shop.

Then turn of the century
was general store,

and in the 1950s, it became
what it is now.

The attic was just filled
to the rafters

with all these treasures
from the last centuries.

And I thought to myself,

I can do something
with this stuff.

I love it. That's so great.

You've always been so good
at seeing beyond the surface

of something and knowing
its true value.

That's a nice way of putting it.

- Thanks.
- Sure.

[phone notification beeps]

Oh.

Is that your boyfriend?

Yeah.

I'll, uh, I'll get another load.

Okay. I'll meet you back there.

[sighs]

[scraping]

So, you don't think you should
tell her the truth?

[sighs]

How am I supposed to do that?

I guess there's no real way
of doing it except to do it.

Yeah well, what's the point?

I mean, she has a boyfriend,
Dad.

Well, that's true.

But I still think you should.

She deserves to know, whether
she has a boyfriend or not.

I'm with your mom.

What... what...
what's the hesitation, son?

We had our chance.

I just, I don't see the point
in digging up the past.

Well, the point is, you still
have feelings for her.

Am I right?

[sighs]

This stuff is incredible.

I'm predicting best
auction ever.

Well, we did raid every barn in
Oregon for the past three days.

I'm sure Zach knows every barn,
shed, and storage unit

within a 200-mile radius.

200? That's nothing.

I know all the barns
in this country.

If you do say so yourself.

All I'm saying is I'm
pretty well connected

if you need some antiques.

We could use something
to spruce up the house.

Maybe for Valentine's Day?

Okay, see?

Now you got me into trouble.

I told you not to remind her
of your picking obsession.

My girl knows how to shop.

I call it having good taste.

My mistake.

"Good taste."

"Good taste."

Mmm.

So, you and Zach seem to be
getting along a lot better.

Uh, yeah.

N-no.

No, I... I have a boyfriend.

Is it serious?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's... sort of.

I don't know how something
can be sort of serious.

Well, you know.

It's like, he's...

We've been together a long time

and we work really
well together,

and he's smart, and ambitious,
um...

But?

But, I mean, it's not that,

like, mmm feeling
that, you know.

You know, I mean,
you're in love.

You know what I mean.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I do.

Anyway.

Well, this is the last of it.

Is everything good?

Yeah, great.

Yeah, things are great.

any of your stuff here?

Oh, uh... I don't know if
anyone wants to bid on my work.

mean, your work?

inspired the art and vice versa.

This one's unemployed.

Really?

Yeah.

Why didn't you say anything?

Uh, well I don't know.

I haven't been home in so long
and guess I just wanted

to impress everybody
and come home the hero.

So what happened?

Um, oomph.

I lost my oomph.

Your oomph?

Yeah.

What does that even mean?

I don't know.

I mean, I think it's that
when I started

it was about getting on better
and better shows,

and then it was about getting
bigger and better ratings,

and then it was about keeping
the ratings

and keeping all the balls
in the air.

And then I was just running
and racing and chasing

and just became someone
I didn't recognize.

Sounds like you got burned out.

So what were you chasing
so hard?

I thought if I worked
hard enough,

I could finally become somebody
that they wanted.

Instead of just being yourself?

Well I mean, in my business,
people have an expectation

of you to be an image,
not a real person.

So, you can't.

I mean, you can.

It's a bad excuse.

Yeah. Instead of being
who I really am.

Well, I can relate.

You know, hiding things
because you want the world

to see you a certain way.

Yeah.

Well, I think you're great.
I would hire you in a second.

Thank you.

You did a great job,
look at this.

Yeah.

Nice job, partner.

I'm glad we could do this

Ah, thanks.

How'd you know I'd be out here?

Ever since you were
a little girl,

if you ever needed
to do some thinking,

this is where I would find you.

[laughs]

Well, I did need to get out
and clear my head.

[sighs]

Anything I can do to help?

I don't think so.

Everything we got for
the auction is ruined

and we don't have time
to fix it.

It's nothing to lose sleep over.

It feels like it is.

I mean, that's not
the only thing.

I lost my job, I literally
got fired.

I just don't think I can face
another failure right now,

and spending so much time
with Zach is like another thing.

Well, I remember when
you were 15 years old

and you were so excited
for your art project.

You'd worked on it for weeks,
collecting every leaf

that every tree ever dropped.

Every colour under the sun.

You were so proud of it.

And then I left it on the porch.

And it rained,
just like yesterday.

You were so upset, and after
a minute of feeling defeated,

you looked at it with
a fresh perspective.

You saw how the colours
ran together.

The paint merged with those
old wet leaves.

So, you spattered it with
more paint and sprayed it

with the garden hose and loved
every minute of it.

It wasn't a mess.

You saw something beautiful,
unique,

and one of a kind,
created by accident.

So, you're telling me I need
to see this whole thing

as a beautiful mess,
that's... that's it?

Well, the point is, you realize
that life never really works out

the way that you plan it.

But there's nothing wrong
with having a little bit of fun

as you go along.

Don't be sidetracked or derailed
by all the little setbacks

and it'll probably just turn out
the way it should.

Thanks, Dad.

I got first place
on that project, too.

[laughs]

Yes, you did.

And if memory serves, a nice
young man came over

and helped you mount it on
an old wooden slat.

That's been really
confusing too.

Well, your mom always says
that confusion comes

when you're trying to convince
your head of something

that your heart knows is a lie.

She's a wise woman.

interesting information for us

about the world of quilts.

Take it away, Zach.

Uh...

Uh, right.

What do you know?

Well, as you all know,
quilting is very popular

in this part of the states.

Um, you know some of our
most dedicated quilters,

Miss Addy included, spend up
to $3,000 a year on supplies,

and they have sometimes a...
a hundred yards of fabric

stored in their house.

Wow, that's an
entire football field.

Yeah.

My fabric has its own bedroom.

[crowd laughs]

How about that?

I'm sure she's not the only one
with a bedroom full of fabric,

- am I right?
- She's not.

I've actually seen Dolores's.
She lives next door to us.

We have some pretty dedicated
quilters in this town.

That is absolutely right.

In fact, Miss Addy was also
telling me that this quilt

is particularly special because
it has some pieces of fabric

that date back to
the 19th century.

In fact, this heart here
has swatches

from her great grandmother's
handkerchief,

brought with her
on the ship crossing

from Poland about 150 years ago.

Aw, look at that.

A piece of local
American history.

Who doesn't want to have that
in their home?

You can make this a part of

your Valentine's Day
family tradition.

That's right.

Something new, something old.

And it's blue.

Maybe a wedding gift.

[laughs]

Okay, so.

Let's... let's start
the bidding at $50.

Who's with me?

$50, that seems
like a very fair price.

$50 for Addy's quilt.

$50.

Do I hear 75?

75.

[Natalie] 75! I like

- the way you think thank you.
- Thank you very much.

- 80.
- 80, okay.

[Zach] It looks like we have
a bidding war.

[Natalie] Okay, who's going
to bump it up?

100.

100!

Well done, sir.

Happy wife, happy life.

Am I right?

Do I hear 125?

125?

Going once, going twice.

Sold!

[laughs]

- $100.
- $100.

Thank you.

Oh, you're very welcome.

[giggles]

You know, we do make
a pretty good team.

Yeah, we always did.

Hard to believe that we've been
coming to this dance

since we were...

14?

[laughs]

I never went to art school.

[laughs incredulously]

What?

I never went to art school.

I never went to Europe.

None of it.

I helped you fill out
the application.

I was there.

I never sent it in.

I realized that I... I didn't
want to go to art school,

I didn't want to go to Europe,
I didn't...

I didn't want to leave
this place,

but I could tell that your heart
was set on

San Francisco and I didn't want
to be the guy that,

that held you back.

What?

I know I made a huge mistake,
I'm sorry,

I was young, I...

No, no.

I can't believe this.

Nat... Natalie.

Natalie?

Natalie?

Natalie, wait.

I don't want to talk to you
right now, Zach.

Please, let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

I get it.

I don't think you do.

It's not that I didn't love you,
it's...

It's what?

I was a struggling artist,
and you,

you were ready to take
on the world.

So, you gave up on us?

I did it for you.

I didn't want to hold you back.

No.

You did it because
you were scared.

You did it because
you were scared.

So maybe you were right.

Yeah.

Natalie.

Brooks?

Everything all right?

Hi, yeah.

It's great.

What are you?

[laughs]

What are you doing here?

I have some really great news.

I got you a meeting.

Woah, what?

Uh-huh.

A really good one.

So, I booked you a flight
for tomorrow morning

and I figured, why not give
the good news in person?

[laughs]

Happy Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Your parents are great.

I love 'em.

Yeah, alright man.

Excuse me, can I get
a sparkling water?

So...

Thank you.

Uh, tell me about this job.

It sounds amazing.

Mm-hmm.

So, it's a rich and famous
lifestyle kind of show.

Rich and famous.

Yeah, I know.

Totally your thing, right?

Putting a ton of money into it,

and it could be a real
resume builder.

[exhales]

Can you believe this?

Like, the best Valentine's Day
present you could've asked for,

getting this meeting?

Yes, it is!

It's great.

And I can't believe you flew
all the way here

just to tell me this news
in person.

It's very romantic.

Well, I was location scouting
for another job just upstate.

They gave me a free hotel room
and your town

was just up the road,
so I figured "why not?"

Oh. Right.

Why not.

Alicia?

Who is that?

Uh, Brooks.

The boyfriend.

Oh.

So, what did she say
when you told her?

Let's just say she wasn't
too happy.

So, where are you two at now?

Honestly?

I don't know.

My advice, man?

Don't make the same
mistake twice.

It changes everything.

He lied to me.

But he did it so that you could
go off and take that job

in San Francisco.

Yeah, but he didn't even
give me a choice, mom.

Would you have gone
if he hadn't told you

he was going to art school?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

I don't know.

I'm just... I'm really confused,
I'm confused.

Are you sure you want
to leave it like this?

Maybe you should give it
a little time.

I can't give it time.
I can't postpone this meeting.

This is a really big job
if I get this.

I don't think that's what Jess
is asking.

The real question is, what
are you going to do about Zach?

Well, I... I can't take
a chance on him

if he wasn't willing to do
the same thing for me.

And at least Brooks,
at least Brooks is clear

that he wants to be with me.

What do you think, Dad?

I think you should just follow
that heart of yours, sunshine.

That's what I did with your mom,
and I never regretted it.

[knocking at door]

Sorry, I hope I'm not
interrupting.

No, come on in.

We, uh, we better get going.

Thanks. Hi.

Miss you.

I'll miss you too.

Love you.

Bye, Dad.

Listen to your heart, honey.

It's a cliché because it's true.

[doorbell rings]

Who could that be?

Zach.

Has Natalie left?

I brought you this.

Thank you.

Thought you might like it.

You can open it later.

I came to tell you something,
too.

You were right.

You don't have to say this...

No, actually, I do.

I'm not like you.

I'm not fearless.

I was scared, and I...

Nat. Are you good to go?

Yeah.

Hi, I don't think
we've officially met.

I'm Zach.

Brooks.

Nice meeting you.

Anyway, um, good luck.

Both of you.

Thanks, man.

Nice guy.

Yeah, he is.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just nervous, I guess.

Don't worry.

You got this.

'Kay.

[flight announcements]

What is that, anyway?

It's Mount Kilimanjaro.

Oh.

Cool.

Look.

I know your last show
terminated you.

But I've seen your work,
and it's exactly what I want.

Oh!

Now, since we're honing in
on the rich and famous,

I want you to bring what you did
on "A Touch of Class",

but even more so.

I want someone
more aspirational.

Ideal, rather than real.

You really do that well.

You see, that really plays into
the larger than life element

that we're looking to lean into.

And you get to do it all.

Producing, directing,
some episodes.

Writing the scripts.

You like that, don't you?

Yes.

[laughs]

You know, I just love people
who strive for perfection.

Like me.

[laughs]

You know the drill.

[flatly]
Yes.

Uh... I know exactly
what you're talking about.

I knew you would.

So?

Do we have a deal?

You said what?

I said no.

Ha! You're kidding me, right?

No.

I told him that if I'm going
to be in this business,

I want to do something
that I really believe in.

Where I can be authentically me
and people can see that.

Natalie, people in this business
don't care about any of that.

You know what I'm talking about,
huh?

People don't want to see
who you really are.

Well, he did.

Who did?

Lowenstein.

We are making a deal.

Okay, okay, that's great then.

Right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, Brooks?

Uh-huh.

If I were to ask you when
my birthday was,

you would know, right?

What do you mean?

[laughs] What do you mean,
what do I mean?

When's my birthday?

August.

It's April.

And yours is May 10th,

and you were born at 8:00
in the morning,

you had a little dog named
Frisbee when you were a kid,

and you only wear
blended fabrics

because cotton wrinkles
too easily.

Okay, but what does any of this
have to do with the meeting?

What's my favourite colour?

Are you serious right now?

Your favourite colour is blue.

What's mine?

I don't...

It's yellow,
this mustard yellow.

It has been since
the 10th grade,

and this is my favourite quote.

"Always be on the lookout
for the presence of wonder."

You really didn't know that,
did you?

Natalie.

I must've said this 100 times.

I just don't think
you ever listen.

Are you breaking up with me
right now?

Hi. Last name?

Okay, Miss Smith.
Have a nice flight.

Excuse me, sorry, I checked in

Thank you.

Do you think I can make it?

Uh, if you run.

Yes.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Good luck!

Excuse me.

I'm coming!

Oh, so sorry.

Excuse me.

Have a good flight.

Excuse me. I'm coming,
I made it. I'm here.

Excuse me, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Excuse me, excuse me, sorry.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.

I'm coming, I made it, okay.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We've just shut the doors.

Yeah, but you just
let that guy on.

Let me... let me on.

I'm sorry.

It's really important.

I can put you on standby
for the next available flight.

I ca...

No!

I can't, I cannot be
on standby anymore.

Excuse me?

Okay, so here's the deal.
I have to get to this guy.

He was my first love,
we almost got married,

then he thought that I wanted
this big career,

so he lied to me,
which is a different story.

But basically, I
got the big career,

except I lost myself
in the meantime.

I didn't know who I was anymore,

I was comparing myself
to other people,

I worked all the time, it's all
I did was work, work, work,

and then I lost my job. Which I
thought was a really bad thing.

But my mom said everything
happens for a reason,

which I know, is like,

"oh, everything happens
for a reason."

You hear it all the time.

But it's true.

And if I hadn't seen
that yellow mug,

that was what made me realize,
why do I want a big career

if I don't have anybody
to share it with?

At the expense of your heart
and your soul?

You know what I mean?

It doesn't make any sense.

And Brooks?

I mean, Brooks never really
got me.

Not the way Zach got me.

He just looks at you,
and he sees you,

and I love him so totally
and so completely,

and I have to tell him,

but I can't tell him unless
you open the door.

Ma'am, I think you
should turn around.

Hi.

That's him. That's the guy.

Good thing you missed
your flight, then.

Ahh!

I let you go once.

I'm not going to let you
go again.

I know it's a little bit late,
but will you be my Valentine?

Welcome to KACL, where we're
playing the best hits

of the 20s, 30s, and 40s.

Benny Goodman actually
invented a dance for his,

uh, Aunt Esther.

[laughs]

All right, I'm sorry.

Don't laugh at her,
you're just egging her on.

I hear Zach's selling quite
a bit of his work.

He has, but I think he enjoys
doing this show even more.

Welcome to another episode
of Treasure Hunters.

Where we travel the globe
looking for treasures.

Maybe in your own garage.

This...

Oh, jeez. Sorry.

Those two.

I can't wait to see what their
wedding's going to be like.

Shall we dance?

Sounds good to me.

I love me some band music.

Did you guys ever think

that they would get back
together again?

Well, you know what they say.
