SHIRLEY: So, tell me everything.

It was a dud.

"It" was a dud, or "he" was a dud?

Both.

He was such a good catch.

HANNAH: Yeah, for someone else.

SHIRLEY: Why?I don't know,

maybe because he talked about real estate the entire time,

or his latest trip to Milan,

the new Tesla he just bought...

SHIRLEY: So he's rich.

You know, for most people,

that would be a bonus, not a strike.

I appreciate the set-up, I do.

He's a nice enough guy. He's just not my person.

Ugh.BRIAN: Who's not your person?

Ah, the realtor.

I told Shirley you'd have nothing in common with him.

Coming from the self-proclaimed set-up master that you are?

You know it!

SHIRLEY: Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best set-up.

It says I burned over 40 calories.

Ooh, good job, babe!

The couple that works out together

stays together.

I don't know about that, but I do know

that being married to the best chef in town

means working out is definitely a must.

Are you trying to say

that it's just my cooking that won your heart?

It wasn't these luscious locks?

[LAUGHS]

Ooh, did you pick a dress yet for the birthday extravaganza?

[GASPS] You know, I almost forgot.

Well, you have no idea

what this man has for you on the menu,

and I have put together an amazing guest list.

Shutting down your entire restaurant

to throw me a birthday party feels a little excessive, no?

No, we told you, business is great.

Plus, you know how your sister loves any excuse

to throw a party.HANNAH: I know.

I know, I just wish we could celebrate me getting younger

versus me getting older.SHIRLEY: Whoa!

What's wrong with getting older? Because clearly it is cooler.

[LAUGHS]

Fair enough. I'm gonna go get signed up for the festival.

You guys want to come?No. We're gonna run,

so I will give you that.

Thank you.Sign me up.

Okay, all right.Love you.

Uh, Hannah, eight o'clock, sharp.

Okay.[LAUGHS]

Hey! Come on, Rusty. Come on! Good boy.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Thank you so much for signing up.

I so look forward to seeing you at the festival.

Okay, fine. Thanks.

Katie, hi!

Hannah!What are you doing here?

Oh, my law firm's the official sponsor this year,

so I'm running all the meet-and-greets

for the contestants.

"Face of the Festival," as you might say.

Wow. That's a great photo.Thanks.

Is registration still open?

Yes. Right over there. Just log in your name,

division, and contact info.

Thanks.

Bye.Rusty, come on.

PARKER: So, what do you say, Dad?

GAVIN: I think it's a great idea.

PARKER: You do?But in a few years.

You got to be at least 12 years old, sweetheart.

Are you sure?Pretty sure.

Says who?The law, kiddo.

You know Mrs. Hanover said

I was the best dogsitter she ever had.

I know she did,

but kids are a lot different than dogs.

I'm sorry, kiddo, but babysitting's out of the question

until you get just a little but older.

Gavin McQueen! [CHUCKLES]

Katie. Hi. What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

More like, what are you doing here?

Thought we'd sign up for the kite festival.

[RUSTY BARKS]

No, I mean back in town.[RUSTY BARKS]

I thought you were still in Chicago.

Just moved back.

Is your dog friendly?He is,

and he loves scratches behind his ear.

[CHUCKLES]

His name is Rusty.

Are you signing up for the festival?

My dad is. We just moved here

and he thinks it's something I'll like.

You just moved here? That's exciting.

I guess, but I've never flown a kite before,

so I'm not sure if I'll like it.

You've never flown a kite before?

Well, in these neck of the woods,

kite flying is a kid's rite of passage.

Do you want to try?Really?

Sure, why not?

So right here, this is your line.

You're gonna make sure it's nice and taut

and tight, okay?

I'll pull back while you run.

Uh, Sir? Do you mind...

[LAUGHS] ...watching him? Thank you.

Okay. You go this way. All right, you ready?

KATIE: Well, I'm surprised that your parents

didn't mention that when I saw them.

When did you see them?

I'm doing the transfer on the title of the house for you, silly!

I just didn't know you would be moving into it so soon.

Yeah, my mom said they had an attorney,

but she never mentioned it was you.

Well, now you know.

Always thought you'd make a good lawyer.

Because I would always get my own way.

[LAUGHS]PARKER: Dad, over here!

That's my daughter.

I should probably go get her signed up.

Oh, hey, wait. Pull out your phone.

Let's exchange numbers. Phone. Come on.

All right. There you are and...

I just air-dropped you my contact info.

Got it.Call me.

Will do.

We should talk business, pleasure, catch up.

It's been way too long.Yeah. Yeah, it has.

See ya.

Dad, you watching? Over here!

GAVIN: Sure am.HANNAH: Oh!

Oh! [LAUGHS]

That was some really good flying.

Thanks for letting me try.Of course.

Nice keel.

PARKER: What's a keel?

It's this vertical piece of sail here.

It's kind of like the keel on a boat.

It keeps the kite stable,

and there's also a spot where you can attach

a flying line without a bridle.

I hope it was okay that I let her fly it.

Of course it was okay! Thank you.

I'm Hannah. Hannah Adams.Gavin McQueen.

Wait. Like Shirley Adams' little sister?

Younger sister.

I'm actually an inch and a half taller than her now.

I never would've recognized you.

Yeah, back then, I was sporting braces and glasses,

and the winning combo has a way of disguising one's looks.

Weren't those glasses bright pink?

Good memory.

Yeah, and you used to take music lessons from my mom, didn't you?

Yeah, that was me. [CHUCKLES]

I am actually a music teacher myself,

all thanks to your mom.

Uh, she was so inspiring.

I also remember that she made the best lemonade

I think I have ever had.Still does.

Did you know my dad is a reigning kite champion?

Oh, he is, is he?According to my father,

I still hold the title from when I was 16 years old.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but somebody broke your record.

No.Many years ago.

Who? Who was it that took my title?

All I remember is that she was wearing a stellar pair

of hot-pink glasses.

You?[CHUCKLES] Yupper.

GAVIN: And here I've been bragging all these years,

never realizing.

Looks like I'm gonna have to work on my flight skills,

get that title back.Looks like you might.

Okay, I don't want to keep you two

because registration is about to close,

and you definitely need to sign up.

See you around?

Well, if this park is your kite-training ground,

you definitely will.

I live in the cottage down the beach,

so keep the music down, will ya?

I will try.[HANNAH CHUCKLING]

PARKER: Bye, Rusty!

There you go.

Come on, Parks. Let's get you signed up.

SHIRLEY: So what did he look like?Older.

Bald?Full head.

Pot belly?Fit.

Short?Still 6'1".

You do know I'm standing right here, don't you?

It's just inquiring minds want to know, sweetheart,

you know, what he looks like.

I played hockey with Gavin for years. Great guy.

Oh, my sexy hockey husband.

Wait, so you guys are friends?Sure, I was friends with him.

Athletic, smart, a woodworker.

Lost his wife a few years back.

He lost his wife? A widower?Heard that's why he moved back.

You know, to be closer to family.

[LAUGHS] Oh, uh, excuse me.

Hannah, hey!

You look fabulous.Jim.

What are you doing here?Oh, uh, your sister invited me.

She knows how to throw a good party.

She certainly does.

Well, thank you so much for coming.

Well, it's your birthday. I wouldn't miss it.

Although I would have,

considering you didn't call me back.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about that.Hey, listen, I was thinking.

Uh, I told you about the new yacht that I bought?

Maybe you and I could have

a little weekend getaway--HENRY: There's my birthday girl!

Sweetie.Dad. Hi.

Mind if I steal her for a moment?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. We'll talk later.

Of course.

Thank you.HENRY: He seems like a nice fella.

Oh, my gosh. You sound just like Shirley.

Point taken.

Got something for you. What is it?

It was your mother's.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Her pendant?

I thought you were saving this for my first-born.

I just felt like this birthday

was the perfect time to give it you.

Because you've lost hope

that I'm getting married and having kids?

Because... I thought it would look beautiful

around your neck tonight, and always,

and also...

because I thought your mother would've wanted

you to have it by now.

Wow, it's...

the most beautiful gift I've ever received.

Your mom sure would've loved to be here with you today,

and this way, a part of her still is.

Hey, I brought my guitar, and your sister...

set out the piano.

You want to do a song together?

What song?Mom's.

The one she wrote for you?

Please.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hi, everyone.[ALL APPLAUD, CHEER]

Thank you so much for coming tonight to celebrate.

It means the world to me.

Or... it means the world to my sister.

[ALL LAUGH]Joking.

Uh, tonight, my dad and I are going to perform

a very special song for you, and we hope you enjoy.

♪ Close my eyes

♪ And fall into your arms ♪

♪ 'Cause I know I'm safe

♪ Where you are

♪ And I'll be yours

♪ This time, I cross my heart ♪

♪ And I'll hold your hand

♪ When life gets hard

♪ You should know

♪ Love is patient ♪

♪ Don't lose hope

♪ My heart's waiting

Yeah... no.

I emptied both suitcases, plus all my boxes.

Duvet and sheets?Made my bed, and yours.

Game strong.

I want to go explore the beach and write in my journal.

Hey. You want to try and fly this?

Looks like one of Grandpa's custom kites.

Do you think it'll fly?Can't hurt to try.

Plus, I want to get my kite out on the water, too.

Okay. I'll meet you down there.

Be careful around the water.I know, Dad!

[SIGHS]

Much more my style.

[PIANO PLAYING]

[HANNAH LAUGHS] Yes! Good job.

Great lesson today, Isabelle.ISABELLE: Thanks, Hannah.

HANNAH: We'll see you next week.

Oh, and hey, don't forget to practice.

I won't. Bye.Bye. Bye.

Rusty?

Rusty!

Where are you, boy?

Do you think there's enough wind?

Hope so, because, while you're flying this,

I'm going to be trying to catch some wind with my own kite.

You hold it and I run.

You sound like a professional kite flyer already.

Ready? Go!

[LAUGHS] Nice!

Rusty?

Rusty, where are you, boy?

Hey, I know you.

HANNAH: Rusty?

GAVIN: Hey!Hey.

Have you seen--Your dog?

Looks like they might be a match made in heaven.

Looks like that. [CHUCKLES]

Rusty's a bit of an escape artist lately,

and lucky for me, he loves the beach,

so I always know where to find him.

He's really good at ball.

It's his favorite pastime.

You know, I used to dogsit my neighbor's dog,

so I could always watch him for you.

You know, I think Rusty would love that.

Can we play for a bit longer?

You could stay for a glass of lemonade.

Won't be as good as my mom's, but close.

Sure. Why not?

GAVIN: So is your place just over there?

Yeah, it is.

I heard music coming from there earlier.

Figured it might be you.

Oh, you did, did you?Mm-hmm.

Well, I will be sure to keep it down.

No, don't.

It was beautiful. Reminds me of when I was a kid.

My mom was always playing and singing in the house.

So how does it feel to be back?

Pretty good, except for a couple of decorating dilemmas.

Oh! [LAUGHS]

Hey, how would you rate your artistic eye?

Depends on the project.

I've got this piece of art, can't figure out where it fits.

Thought maybe a woman's perspective might help.

Well, let's see this piece of art. [CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS] It's not really working.That's what I thought.

Kitchen?

Okay.

Hmm...

Maybe the dining room?

Yeah.Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Where did it come from, anyways?A fundraiser.

I hope it was for a good cause.It was.

Hmm.

My woodworking shop.Yes. Let's try it.

And it still doesn't work.[LAUGHS] No.

I'm determined. It will find its home eventually...

which might just be through donation.

Wait, you're not going to sell it?

It looks expensive.

No, I'm not really a material things type of guy.

Could care less if I get something for it.

Wait. Are you making this?

Yeah. It's a tetrahedral.

A tetra-what?A tetrahedral kite.

It's a pyramid kite with different tiers.

Ah, got it.

Yeah. My dad made me one when I was a kid.

Figured I'd give it a go.

What talent.

Kind of runs in the family as a hobby.

My dad was a kite builder-- Is a kite builder

and taught me when I was a kid.

It's likely what inspired me to become a woodworker,

you know, crafting and building things from scratch.

Are these yours, too?Yep.

This one here is a reclaimed piece of Douglas fir.

Wow.I'm turning it into shutters for a friend of mine.

It's so gorgeous.

You know, my sister and brother-in-law

are looking for a long reclaimed-wood table

for their restaurant,

and it's their ten-year wedding anniversary coming up,

so maybe I could commission one from you as a surprise for them?

Absolutely.

I'll just need measurements of the place

but I'd be more than happy to.

Oh! Great.

Wow. This house is still so beautiful.

It was certainly my mom's dream house

when my dad built it.[HANNAH CHUCKLES]

I feel pretty lucky it's mine now,

and hopefully one day, it will be Parker's, too.

That's really sweet.

Yeah. I just feel like we're gonna be unpacking forever.

I never realized we had so much stuff.

Well, do you want some help?

Sure!Mm-hmm.

[LAUGHS]

So... a music teacher.Yeah.

Children?No.

I mean, someday, I hope, but...

I meant, do you teach children?

Oh, right. [LAUGHS]

[CHUCKLES]Um, yes, I do.

I teach just kids.Okay. [CHUCKLES]

Is this Parker's mom?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's her.

She, uh... she passed a few years ago.

I'm sorry.

She's really beautiful.

Parker looks a lot like her.

Spitting image.

I bet that was really hard.

It was.

But it's getting easier now.

Finally, it feels like

things are starting to go back to normal,

which I never thought was possible.

Yeah, I bet.

Her not being with us anymore, the change it brought,

it really taught Parker and I to be happy

and thankful for the present.

Letting go of love is hard, but...

but I can only hope that...

it will find its way back one day.

Very philosophical, I know. There's just... [LAUGHS]

...things that run through my head.

Well, if you need help with Parker ever...

I am totally here to help.

Well, I was thinking, when you said

that you teach music lessons...

well, Parker's been doing these online singing and dance videos.

Oh, I know the ones.

Yeah, and she's obsessed with them.

Anyway, I thought...

it would be wise to harness that talent,

get her off the iPad, and into some music lessons.

Maybe we could barter for the table?

Yeah. Although,

I feel like I might be getting the better end of the bargain,

considering she's my new go-to puppy-sitter.

So is that a yes?

Absolutely.

She was right. Your lemonade is the best, Nana.

MARGARET: Oh, so who is this "she" you're referring to?

Hannah Adams. She said to say hi.

Hannah Adams? So talented.

At flying kites?MARGARET: Well, that too!

But I meant music.

She moved next door, didn't she?

Seems so.Is she married?

I don't think so.Oh. Still pretty?

Didn't notice.

She's very pretty, Nana, and a super-good kite flyer,

and she has a dog named Rusty that she's letting me dogsit.

Well, that sounds like a winning combination,

just like my smart granddaughter.

So how'd you meet?

Actually, it was down at the kite festival registration,

and then she came over

after her dog wandered over onto the beach.

So a little visit?GAVIN: Yeah.

I guess you could call it that.

Want me to go get Dad?Yeah, please.

Otherwise he'll be back there building all day,

if you let him.Yeah.

Nana, could you teach me how to make your lemonade?

I would love to.

Wow. What's this we've got here?

[CHUCKLES] "Ulysses," single-line Delta.

A single-line Delta?Yeah.

It'll increase the stability over a better wind range

at the expense of a few degrees of flying angle.

Anyway, I got it started for you.

Thanks, Dad.

[CHUCKLES, SIGHS] I love this shop.

I take it that's why you wanted me to buy the house from you?

Well, maybe.

You know I couldn't live without it.

But I am so glad

that you and I are back here building kites together again.

The woodworking shop will always be yours, Dad.

Come work in here whenever you want.

Aw, thanks, pal.

And-- And by the way,

where did you dig up that old chestnut?

Found that when we were unpacking.

Oh, boy.

That's one of my first, I think. Where'd you find it?

It was in the chest up in the attic.

I think your mother probably packed it away.

You know, I lose a lot of stuff that way.

I'm still looking for a tennis racquet.

GAVIN: So I learned something interesting

the other day.

Oh? What's that?

You've been telling me all these years

that I was the reigning kite champ

when, in fact, I lost that title a long time ago.

You were so proud of that title, Gav.

I-- I just didn't want to be the one to let you know.

Fair enough.

And by the looks of the kite you're building,

I'm gonna do well this year.

So you think that's your kite?

No, no, my son.

The days of your dear old dad building your prize-winning kite

are long gone.

That will be my granddaughter's kite.

Parker's gonna love it.Hope so.

Come on. Let's go get some lunch.

MARGARET Oh, I almost forgot.

Did Katie Longhorn get in touch with you

about the transfer of the house?

GAVIN: She did,

and you didn't think to tell me she was the lawyer you hired?

Is it a problem?GAVIN: No. It's just...

well, you know we used to date.

I did. I also remember that you broke up.

PARKER: She was your girlfriend?

A long time ago, Parks, when I was in high school.

She had a very strong personality.

It didn't sit well with your father.

Or with you, as I recall, Mom.

Well, I just didn't think she was good for you, is all,

but as a lawyer, she's fantastic.

I'll go and get it all done tomorrow, before I start work.

Nana, Grandpa, guess what?

What's up, sport?Tomorrow, when Dad's at work,

I get to go to Hannah's house for my music lesson,

and I get to babysit Rusty.

GAVIN: I signed Parker up for some music lessons with Hannah.

And she also offered to watch her for a few hours

while I work, too.Well, isn't that nice of her?

Yeah.

She's here![HANNAH CHUCKLES]

You ready for an adventure?Always.

What time should I come and pick her up?

I can bring her back.

Just get what you need to get done here,

and there's honestly no rush.

All right. You have fun, you two.

Oh, we will.PARKER: Love you, Dad!

Love you, too, kiddo!

You're gonna teach him how to walk on his hind legs?

Right after I teach him to sit and stay.

Okay, well, good luck.

As you saw the other day, he's a little headstrong,

so if you can't get him to do anything,

don't feel too bad.Are you headstrong?

I'll be inside if you need me, okay?

Okay.

What a terrific kid she is.

Are you teaching her music later?

Yeah. She's pretty excited.

What about her dad?

Shirley.What? He's a widower.

He is single. He is ready to mingle.

Considering the fact you haven't seen him yet,

how do you know he's ready to mingle?

Uh, Brian, hello.Brian?

Call it a gut instinct, but I just have a hunch,

remembering his personality, and knowing you...

Come on.

Are you trying to say that my husband is not a love guru?

An amazing chef, yes. Love guru? I have my doubts.

Neil and Remi Soofi.

What about them?

He met them separately, introduced them,

and they have been married for five years.

Heather and Mike Kam.

So creative together, and he called that one.

Yeah. Uh, Troy and Shannon Scott.

[SIGHS] The finest love story of them all,

and he had a gut instinct about that, too.

Shall I keep going?No, I get it.

Listen, I see that you are a better matchmaker than my sister--

Stop it.

And I know that you both are desperate

for me to find my person, but the truth is,

is I'm actually really content and happy being single,

and besides, there's a lot of perks

that people don't talk about.

Such as?Such as...

reality TV, my guilty pleasure,

I don't have to feel embarrassed about.

We're not talking about marriage.

Yet.

We're talking about dinner,

just getting to know each other casually,

but maybe here, so we can meet him.

Look, I really appreciate the input,

and I assure you that I am going to ponder

this conversation-slash-proposal with deep consideration.

Mm-hmm.

Wait. How big would you say this space is?

Uh...Mm, not sure.

Is that where you wanted to put the new table?

It's so hard to find something that fits in this space, but yeah.

So the search continues.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Excuse me? I'm looking for Katie Longhorn.

KATIE: Gavin!

Hey! Fancy office.Oh, you know me.

I thought you said this was a small practice.

Ah, the word "small" is relative.

Fair enough.KATIE: Have a seat.

Your parents have already signed,

so all I need is your signature, and once I have that,

I can get everything filed.

Thank you for doing this.Pro bono, by the way.

No. No, you don't need to do that.

Your parents said the same thing,

but I can't take any money from your family.

It just wouldn't feel right.But--

You and your parents could take me out to dinner instead.

Dinner? With my parents?

Well, there's this great place

that just opened up down the block.

I became friends with the maître d'.

I'm sure I could get us a table.

Okay. Yeah, I'll check with my parents,

see if they're free.

PARKER: Dad, we're home!I'm in the shop, kiddo!

I'm gonna bring Rusty inside.

Okay. Have fun!PARKER: Go get it, boy!

[KNOCKS]Knock, knock.

Hey there.

Parker is home safe, alive, and musically inspired,

and she's en route to becoming a very talented dog trainer.

Sounds like my kid.

Wait. Are all of these your dad's drawings?

Yep.So cool.

Wait. This is the spool you're gonna use?

It's very classic.

Yeah. We're going to put it on this kite

that my dad and I built for Parker.

You know, you might just have to give me a kite-building course.

You've never built a kite before?

You say that like I should have.

Well, being a kite champ and all...

Fair enough, but nope, always just a store-bought one,

which has always worked, mind you.

Do you have a certain style of kite you like?

One with a keel.Right.

It was pretty cool seeing you out on the water the other day.

Thanks. Yeah, windsurfing, and now winging,

kind of like a grown-up man's way of flying a kite.

Yeah, I guess it kind of is.

GAVIN: Nothing like the feeling of the wind in your hair, huh?

No, there isn't.

It's actually why I like flying kites.

It's like I'm up there in the air with them.

It's the best feeling ever.I can relate.

So did you get a chance to scope out the joint,

get those measurements?

I did, actually.

On a napkin?

It was all they had.

Is that, um...A six.

Okay.

And what's that there? Is that a--

It's a-- That's a--

It's 12, I think.Yeah?

Clearly, you're not an architect.

Hey, I only claim to know about music.

So any big plans for the weekend?

Not really,

aside from hitting up the local blueberry patch

to do some picking.

Blueberry patch?Mm-hmm. It's the best.

Any chance you'd be interested in a little company?

Uh, yeah.

That would be fun.

Like that. You got it!

Lavender for you, my dear.

Why, thank you.

And lavender for you, my dear.Thank you.

Blueberry, please.Lychee.

And I think I'll go with peach.

Up, up, side, up, down.

Get down.

And then cut.

You're good at this! Good job! High five! Whoo!

PARKER: Mm, it's so good.Yeah.

HANNAH: Delicious.

Blueberry pie.Blueberry frozen yogurt.

HANNAH: Hmm.

Fresh blueberry sparkling cider.

I don't think I've ever tasted anything like it.

[CHUCKLES]

Every summer, I used to come here with my mom,

and this sparkling cider was her favorite.

You've been coming here since you were a kid?

Mm-hmm, roughly about your age.

Do you and your mom still come?

Uh, no.

We don't.

Sadly, my mom left us when I was a little girl.

Where did she go?

Heaven.Just like my mom.

Thanks for bringing us to your special spot, Hannah.

Oh, you are so welcome, Parker.

HANNAH: So that's nice of your parents, to take Parker.

We finally we live close enough to do sleepovers,

my mom's dream.

Sorry about your flat.

I haven't had one of these since I was a boy.

[LAUGHS]

Also, I don't think I've walked along this road

with a pretty girl since then either.

Which, I am guessing, was Katie?

Nope, never with Katie,

although we did date in high school.

I guess you already knew that.

Yeah, I remember her

stopping by the house a few times

when I was there taking piano lessons.

That was a long time ago.It was.

So what about you?

What about me?Boyfriend?

Not currently.

I was in a serious relationship, and that ended two years ago.

What happened?

Well... we fell in love.Oh.

And I thought that he might be the one, but...

And?

Turns out he wasn't.

Right.I don't know. We just--

We wanted two different things out of life.

He wanted to go to New York and explore, and...

I wanted to stay here and be close to my family.

There's nothing quite like having family close by.

Exactly. So he moved to New York,

I stayed here. We tried the long-distance thing, but...

ultimately, it didn't work.That's too bad.

No, honestly, it was for the best.

Because I'm happy, really happy,

and that's all one could hope for, right?

Isn't that the truth?

So do you have any plans?

I don't know, I'm just taking life as it comes right now.

I meant with dinner. Do you have any?

Oh... [LAUGHS] Right.

Uh, well, like I told you, I'm really busy.

Mm.Yeah,

popping frozen pizzas into the oven tonight.

With pineapple?You know it.

Well, there's somewhere in town

that serves wood-fire-oven pizza with pineapple.

Want to join me for a bite?Well, that depends.

Do I get a drink with my meal?

Only if you eat everything on your plate first.

I know just the place.

See you in 20.

Wow.What?

You look... nice. Really nice.

Thanks.

To the chariot, Madame?

If you mean your flatbed truck is my chariot,

then of course.

GAVIN: I wanted to get Parker used to the water

as soon as possible...

Mm-hmm....so I was looking online

for swimming lessons for babies,

I guess is what I was Googling.

And have you seen those videos

with-- They're, like, they're not even one year old,

and they're just... [WHOOSHES][LAUGHS] I haven't.

...in the water?That's really cute, though.

Brian!Well, well!

If it isn't the infamous Gavin McQueen!

Good to see you, man.You too.

Looking as dapper as I remember.

Why, thank you.SHIRLEY: I don't think it's hard

to look dapper when you've got a date like that on your arm.

Thank you.

Good to see you, Shirley.

What a great spot you two have here.

Wait until you try the food.

Table for two? Right this way.

Oh, thank you.

[HANNAH CHUCKLING]

So over there's where you think they want the table?

Mm-hmm.

And when did you say their anniversary was again?

Same day as the kite festival.

They got married at one of the kite festivals?

Yeah. Locals at their finest.I'd say.

So? How was everything?Oh, so good.

You outdid yourself, Brian.

And to think you haven't even had dessert yet.

[CHUCKLES]So...

are you guys gonna shake a leg?Uh, I'm not much of a dancer.

You know that.Yeah, so says everyone.

Come on, Gav, ask the lady already.

I mean, he does own the joint.

I think we better listen to him.

♪ We always wanted more

[LAUGHS] Oh, wow.

I mean, if your kite flying is as good as your dance moves,

I might just have some real competition this year.

You just might. [LAUGHS][LAUGHS]

♪ I wish we'd met before ♪

I think you still got it!

Except back in our dancing days,

you wore sneakers instead of dress shoes.

That's true.

I didn't know you two knew each other.

Yeah. We're neighbors, actually.

Oh.Did you have dinner here?

I did, and the food is to die for.

Brian is certainly the best chef in town.

He sure is.

Well, sorry to interrupt.

I just wanted to say hi and remind you to call me.

You still owe me that date.I didn't forget,

and I promise I'll give you a shout

as soon as I chat with my parents,

and we can set up a time.

Okay.

Well, have a good evening. Bye.

SHIRLEY: I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I don't remember them having

anything in common in high school,

and I'm sure it's the same now.

It's none of my business, really.

She is so gorgeous, though. You cannot deny that.

Oh, but so are you.

But she is successful and single, as are you.

I just think you might have to step up your game a bit.

Except I'm not playing any games.

Brian is so much better at this. I'm gonna get his advice.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]GAVIN: Anyone home?

SHIRLEY: Hey!HANNAH: Hi.

Come in. Uh, bring her-- Come on in.

Hey, Rusty! Did you miss me?

[CHUCKLES] Oh, he sure did.

I'm going to get going,

but you have a great piano lesson, Parker,

and good to see you, Gavin.

GAVIN: You too, Shirley.

We weren't interrupting, were we?

No, no. Shirley's just being Shirley,

meddling in my life.

What was the meddling?Oh, we were just--

we were just talking about some stuff.

Oh.Anyways...

Parker, if you'd like, you can take a seat here,

and you can check out

some of the notes that I made for you.

Back soon. [SMOOCHES]

So I'm just gonna head over to Katie's office

and meet my parents.

We're all gonna go out for a quick bite.

Cool. Have a nice visit.

It's just a meeting, really.

Well, I'll be sure to keep Parker busy,

so you don't have to worry about that.

Thanks again.Of course.

Good job, Parker.

Hey, do you want to write a song?

Like my own song?

Sure, why not?

Do you have anything in that journal there?

That'd be the words to the music we make?

You see, lyrics...

are kind of like short stories,

or poems, or journal entries,

and some of the best songs,

it's like a glimpse into the musician's mind.

That's what Taylor Swift says.

[LAUGHS]

Hey, what's this one? "Best Friends"?

Oh, I wrote that one about my best friend.

I actually have a tune in my head,

if you want me to sing that for you.

[CHUCKLES] I would love that.

♪ You help me laugh You dry my tears ♪

♪ Because of you I have no fears ♪

♪ True friends are there ♪

♪ To get you through Tough times that come ♪

♪ That don't seem fair ♪

That is so good. So good.

Hey, I have an idea for the chorus.

Let me know if you like this.

♪ One, four, three, four Three, two... ♪

♪ I will always love you ♪

I love that.Do you?

Okay. Why don't we-- You want to try?

Sure.Okay.

♪ One, four, three Four, three, two ♪

♪ Ooh, ooh, ooh ♪

GAVIN: Excuse me. I'm here to see Katie Longhorn.

All right. Thank you.

Hey. Are my parents here yet?

They can't make it.Really?

I just spoke to them this morning.

I spoke to your mom about an hour ago.

She said that they were gonna be late,

so I suggested you and I go solo.

I probably haven't had a chance to properly catch up.

Oh. Okay.

Should we get going then?Sure.

[KATIE CHUCKLES] Oh, such memories.

We really did have a fun time, didn't we?

Yeah, we did.

Should we get the check?Already? We just finished.

The least you could do is treat me to some dessert.

I really should tuck Parker in before she falls asleep.

Isn't she nine?Just turned.

Kind of old enough to tuck herself in, don't you think?

Clearly, you don't have kids.

Obviously by choice.

Don't like them?I never said that.

It's just after spending some time

with my friends' children, I notice a common theme.

What's that?

Just that kids could take advantage of their parents.

Maybe older teens, yeah, but not Parker.

She and I are just... tight.

Of course you are.

I mean, she's been through a lot these last few years...

and I'm all she has now in the parent department.

Well, she sounds like a phenomenal little girl, Gavin,

and you need not worry about that.

She is the perfect type

for one to want as a stepdaughter.

Stepdaughter?Well, I'm just saying-- You're young,

still handsome, obviously... [CHUCKLES]

...and one day, a woman's just gonna snap you up,

and voila, a stepmom for your daughter.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I never really thought about that before.

But, you know,

you should really try to put your wants and needs first,

because, if you're happy, then your daughter's happy.

Isn't that what they say?

There we go.

Get your feet under there.

Oh, here. Do you want to get him all tucked in next to you?

Have you ever been married?

Uh... no.Why?

Perhaps, I just haven't found the right person yet.

My dad says that love comes in different shapes and sizes,

and comes to different people at different times,

and sometimes when you're least expecting it.

Your dad is a very smart man.

He also says that there are no perfect partnerships or families,

that every family's unique and special

in different ways.That's right.

Do you ever get lonely, though, living by yourself?

Sometimes.

I hope you meet the right partner, Hannah,

because whichever family

that gets to have you with them all the time

would be really lucky.

Thanks, Parker.

Oh, and don't forget to--I won't forget.

I will make sure your dad tucks you in before bed, okay?

Okay.

Night-night, Hannah!

Goodnight, Parker.

[KEYS JANGLING]

Shh.

[CHUCKLES]

You looked so cozy, I didn't want to wake you.

What time is it?Later than I hoped to be home.

It's fine. Your couch is really comfy.

I really appreciate you watching Parker.

Are you kidding me?

I should be thanking her for watching me.

She's such a sweet and thoughtful girl.

It's really good for the soul.

So how was your date?It wasn't a date.

Taking a woman to dinner would be considered...

Okay, fair enough, but I only did it as a thank-you

because she wouldn't take payment for the work she did.

It really wasn't a date.It's really none of my business.

I shouldn't have asked.No, it's okay.

But it wasn't a date.

So how was music class?

Really great.

Parker seems to really be enjoying it.

Each week, she just keeps making more and more progress,

and today, we wrote an original song.

Really?Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Well, we should get home.

Oh! Parker made me swear to remind you to go tuck her in.

I won't forget.

Oh, Hannah?

Do you think it's weird I still tuck Parker in?

Weird?Yeah.

No. She's just a little girl,

and you're her dad, her only parent.

How on Earth could that be weird?

Yeah, I don't think so either.

I just wanted your perspective is all.

Oh, and I meant to ask you,

do you want to join me tomorrow to go hunting for some materials

for Shirley and Brian's table?

Kite festival is just around the corner,

and I've got a lead on some wood.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Great.

Goodnight.

Night.

Rusty, come on.

[DOOR OPENS]

Dad?

Can we do our night-time prayers?

Of course, honey.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep,

may God guard me through the night,

and wake me with the morning light.

God bless Daddy, Nana, Grandpa,

Rusty, and Hannah, who I really, really like.

Do you ever think our family will change?

What do you mean?Well...

Well, first you had Mommy before you had me,

and then you had Mommy and me,

and now you just have me.

Best little girl in the whole world,

so I'm happy for that.I know,

but if there was someone new to be a part of our family,

well, I'd be happy with that, too.

Good to know. [CHUCKLES] Get some sleep, kiddo.

I love you.I love you, too.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

HANNAH: So how do you know her again?

Betty Anne and my mom have been friends

since I can remember.

Gavin, is that you?In the flesh. How are you?

Oh, much better now that I'm seeing your face. Oh!

And this is?

This is Hannah Adams. Hannah meet Betty Anne.

Hi.

You wouldn't be Henry Adams' daughter, would you?

I sure am.

Your father and I are old pals. Tell him I say hi, would you?

I definitely will.BETTY ANNE: Oh.

You know, I've known this boy

since he was yea high--

The cutest little fella you ever did see,

and you still are!Stop. You're making me blush.

So your mom tells me something

about you wanting to make use of my old things?

Yeah. What do you have?

Well, we have a garage full of antiques, wood, junk,

we're just looking to unload. Just too much stuff.

Anyhow, can go on in, take a look,

and help yourself to anything that might suit you.

All right. Thank you.Yeah.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

[GASPS] She wasn't kidding.

This is a lot of stuff. Yes, it is.

[HANNAH SIGHS]

We've got a paddle.

[LAUGHS] A really dusty basketball.

What about this?

Yeah, I think that's, uh...

A really small table?...not gonna work. Yeah.

Look at this.

A vintage kite-building book.

"Vintage" is right. That is old.

It is.

I have never seen kites like this.

It's like a piece of art.

That one there's a Hunting Hawk-style kite.

From the start to finish,

probably took 15 to 20 days to craft.

Wow.Made from bamboo and silk.

Yeah, everything's hand-painted.[SCOFFS]

I love this quote.

"The most important thing in kite-making

is achieving balance, as it is with human beings.

It is believed that if the kite is built

for someone that holds your heart..."

"Then the kite will soar like the love which fostered its creation."

Should we see what else is in here?

[CHUCKLES]

How do I look?

Oh, very dapper!

[MIMICS BRITISH ACCENT] My fair lady, may I have this dance?

[CHUCKLES][CHUCKLES]

Do you think the spider on the top of your hat

would like to dance on its own?

Wait, are you kidding?I was joking! [CHUCKLES]

That's not funny.It kind of is.

Okay, it's kind of-- It's kind of funny.

Oh, wow.

Look at what we have here.

Is this our new table?

A grand fir. It's perfect.

HANNAH: So how'd you get into this?

GAVIN: Hunting barns?

No, making furniture out of recycled wood.

Well...

I spent most of my childhood in a woodworking shop,

watching my father in awe,

building new creation after new creation.

That was the beginning.I can imagine.

And then I went to Parson's School of Design.

I remember every day, on the way to school,

seeing this homeless man.

I mean, he never asked me for money or anything.

He just wanted my feedback on his new piece every week,

you know, pieces of wood

that would start out as one thing

and then end up another,

you know, like a crummy old side chair.

Yeah, and I remember looking at his stuff

and wondering what he could possibly make from that.

Another chair?

Yeah, you'd think, but no.

He'd hand-carve the wood from an entire table

into this...

Ah! It's impossible to describe, but just trust me,

it was the most awesome piece of recycled wood art I'd ever seen.

And then he would sell them?

Oh, yeah. For quite a lot, too.

Turns out he wasn't homeless after all, but...

the guy actually rented a pretty spectacular apartment

above where he worked.

He just liked working on the streets.

I realized then that I'd made an assumption,

and that taught me that nothing is what it seems,

artifacts, slabs of wood...

even people.

You know, everything and everyone

is just waiting to become something more...

waiting for an invitation into that new adventure.

[PHONE BUZZING]

You should probably get that.Yeah, probably.

My mom... or Parker.

Hello?I'm not interrupting, am I?

Actually, I am just in the middle of--

KATIE: I just want to thank you

again for the meal. Oh, it was my pleasure.

Also, I have the receipt for the sale.

Should I drop it off, or--

No, it's fine. I'll just come by and grab it this week.

The connection's spotty. Are you in your shop?

No, actually, I'm just out grabbing some wood

for a gift I'm making.

Who's the gift for? Or is that a surprise?

Oh, it's for Hannah. Well, it's...

from Hannah for someone else.

Hannah? Right.

Well, that's nice of you.

Again, thanks for all your help.

Sure. Talk soon.

Bye.

Is everything okay?Yeah, everything's fine.

You want to get going?

Yeah.All right.

SHIRLEY: Thanks for the company.

Brian was so eager at first, but I don't know what happened.

Well, I'm happy to be your new workout buddy,

but I cannot guarantee

that it's gonna last longer than a week either.

[LAUGHS]Hey.

I know you know this,

but that Katie Longhorn is a very persistent person,

and if she is chasing Gavin,

she is not gonna quit until she gets a clear message.

Well, good thing I'm not chasing him, right?

And if she is, I mean, all the power to her.

All I'm saying is, that until you hear otherwise,

trust your intuition.

Trust my intuition until I hear otherwise.

Got it.

Oh, hey. What about that?

A suit?

Tenth year anniversary. Maybe something fancy?

After the argyle sweater I bought him last year,

he told me I'm never allowed to shop for him again.

I can't believe it's already been ten years.

It feels just like yesterday.I know.

Have you guys made any plans yet?

I think we're just gonna celebrate

at the kite festival party.

I mean, everyone we love's going to be there anyways,

and we got married there, after all.

I think that's perfect.

Hey, I'm going to grab a tea. Do you want one?

No, I should probably get to the grocery store

before it closes. But call me later?

Yeah.Okay.

'Kay. Bye.Bye.

Hannah.Katie. Hi.

I needed a caffeine pick-me-up.

It's been an exhausting day at the office.

I was just about to grab one myself.

So, are you excited about the kite festival this week?

[CHUCKLES] Always.

You know, it's something I just never really got into,

but being the face of the festival,

I figured this year, I might.

Well, it might sound silly,

but flying a kite is really therapeutic.

You know, being in control of something that's taken flight.

It's also a lot of fun.

I'm sure Gavin and his daughter will be participating.

Yeah, I think they are.

So Gavin tells me you've been babysitting for him.

"Babysitting"?Well, babysitting, nannying,

I really can't tell the difference between the two.

I take it you've been a nanny before?

Oh, no. I'm actually a music teacher.

For children.Yeah.

Oh! Well, see?

You have "perfect nanny" written all over you,

something I'm sure he needs right now.

Well, I just wanted to thank you again

for watching Parker.Mm-hmm.

Gavin and I really appreciate it.

It's great running into you.

Yeah, you-- You too.

[SIGHS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

What do you think?

It's perfect, Dad.

[CHUCKLES]

Looks like you've been a pretty busy guy.

Custom table?

Sure is.

Been working on it in the evenings

after Parker falls asleep.Uh-huh, and this?

A little light reading on the side?

[LAUGHS] That's a vintage kite-building book

I found with Hannah.

I'm thinking I might give one of these a go.

You're quite the craftsman, Gav.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result.

Come on.

Let's go and, uh, surprise our girl, hmm?

No peeking.I'm not, Nana.

Okay, you can open.

JOHN: Ta-dah!Is that for me?

It sure is. Your dad and I made it

so that you could fly it in the festival this year.

A "Ulysses" single-line Delta kite,

Grandpa's specialty.JOHN: And...

it has an extra-strong anti-tangle line

that makes getting the kite in the air,

and recovery from crashes, a breeze.

[CHUCKLES]

I love it, Grandpa. Thank you!You're welcome, Pumpkin.

I have to go to Hannah's house now for my music lesson,

but can we fly it later?We sure can.

Sweetheart, why don't you see if Hannah

might come over and say hello?

I haven't seen her in years.PARKER: I will, Nana.

Helmet!I know, Dad!

So, how is Hannah?

She and Parker have become really close,

as you can see.And you?

Have you two become really close?

Margaret, let the boy have some privacy.

I'm just asking.GAVIN: We have, Mom.

She's a really special person.

♪ Ooh, ooh ♪

I think I smell a record deal coming on.

You're being silly.

No, I'm being serious. You are so good.

Hard work pays off.

So my grandpa made me a kite with my dad,

but I think it was mostly my grandpa.

[CHUCKLES] What a gift.

Are you gonna fly it at the festival?

I am. Want to come see it?

I do, but I was actually just about to walk Rusty.

You can walk him over to my house.

My Nana told me to invite you over, too.

Do you think she'll make some of her famous lemonade?

She always does.[CHUCKLES]

PARKER: We're back!

Did she get a flat tire, too?

[CHUCKLES] No, she insisted on walking Rusty,

so I wheeled it in.

I'm gonna go train with Rusty.

Okay.

Hannah Adams! Get over here for a hug!

It's so nice to see you, Mrs. McQueen.

Listen, you're not my student anymore.

Call me Margaret. Gosh, I've missed you.

I've missed you.[LAUGHS]

So, my granddaughter tells me

that you've been teaching her how to write songs.

I have. [LAUGHS] And I think it's safe to say

that she takes after a certain someone.

That means a lot.

[CHUCKLES] Lemonade?You read my mind.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

So how's things?

HANNAH: Things are actually really great.

You know, I've just been keeping busy.

With my son and granddaughter, I hear.

Uh, yeah, I guess-- I guess I have.

Mm-hmm. And babysitting?

Yeah. I love spending time with Parker.

No, I meant that you've been letting Parker babysit Rusty.

Oh, right. Yes, I have, as you can tell.

Stay. Stay.

[BOTH LAUGH]PARKER: Good boy, Rusty.

Knock, knock!

Hello?

Yoo-hoo![WOMEN CHUCKLING]

Perhaps, you'd like to join us for dinner?

I thought we might just order in.KATIE: Gavin? Gavin!

Ooh. Gavin!Katie!

Mr. and Mrs. McQueen. What a nice surprise!

I'm so sorry to barge in.

I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to stop by,

but also...

I have the title to the house.

I thought I was coming by to pick that up.

Don't be silly. You're practically family.

And who makes family run around picking things up?

MARGARET: Well, that's very kind of you.

Thank you again.

I also brought some pizza.

I got two so there's enough for everyone.

GAVIN: You really didn't have to do that, Katie.

Really.

I thought it was appropriate,

since you did take me out to that very fancy dinner

the other night.

I got him to bark on command!

HANNAH: You did?Yeah. Speak, Rusty. Speak.

[BARKS]Nice job, Parks.

Oh, you must be Parker?

Hi.KATIE: Hi!

You know, your father spent the entire evening

talking about you the other night,

so much that I feel like I know you.

So I saw this

and thought it would make the perfect gift.

Go ahead and open it up.

Because what girl doesn't need a little pizzazz in her life?

Thank you.It has sparkle, just like you.

Just gonna sneak a peek at...John.

Oh, that smells good.

Uh, well, I think I'm actually gonna head home,

but it was so lovely seeing all of you.

And Parker,

your kite has "champion flyer" written all over it.

But... why don't you stay and join us for dinner?

Please, Hannah. Do.Please, Hannah, please?

HANNAH: Honestly, I think I really have to get home,

but it was really nice seeing you again

and I hope you guys have a nice evening.

Rusty, come on.

[SIGHS]

When I saw her in town,

she referred to me as Parker's babysitter.

I think that constitutes as "hearing otherwise."

SHIRLEY: I think you need to go back over there,

and tell him how you feel.

This has gone on long enough. Are you sure?

Isn't that a bit forward?

After everything you've told me?

No, it's called being an adult,

and putting your heart and your truth out there.

JOHN: It's been great. Thanks very much for everything.

Yeah. Thanks for coming.

See you soon.

You know, I've never given advice to you...

No, you haven't.

Probably because you've never needed it.

And now I do?

You just have to be honest with yourself, Gavin.

Sometimes, the painting just doesn't match the wall,

and just because it's familiar,

it doesn't make it match any better.

Sometimes, you just need to be honest with yourself

and those around you.

Just so you can fully move on.

What are you trying to say, Mom?

Oh, I think you know.

All right.

See ya.Have a good night.

JOHN: Goodnight!Goodnight, Dad.

[ENGINE REVS]

Perfect!

Uh, I tried that spot before.

Doesn't quite fit.

Really? I think it matches perfectly.

Mm. It's just not my style.

But that's a Jasper Keating!

You know that's worth a fortune, right?

Do you want it?Want it?

Consider it packed in my car! [LAUGHS]

So...[SIGHS]

...how about a nightcap?Can't.

I've got some work I need to get done.

Oh, come on. Just one cup of tea.

I'm kind on a deadline, so.

Honestly, Gavin, you should know by now

I never take "no" for an answer.

[SIGHS]

So you have everything?Everything I came with...

but not everything I came to catch.

[POT CRASHES]

Did you hear that?No.

[CHUCKLES] Hannah?

HANNAH: Hi!Hey.

Um, I w-- Was just, uh, checking to see

if Rusty came over here?He got out?

Well, here, I'll come help you look for him.

No, no, no. Uh, it's okay.

I'm sure he just circled back home.

Do you want to come in?

Uh, no.

Everything okay out there?

Yeah, everything's fine!

Please, come in.

I lied. Rusty didn't get out.

Okay, the reason I'm over here is because I needed to tell you that I--

I like you, Gavin.

You do?

I do. But now I'm realizing

that I should've read the writing on the wall,

or even listened to Katie.

And I'm-- I'm just, I'm really sorry

that I've interrupted your night.

What are you talking about?

Just forget that I came over here

and forget that I said anything, please. Okay?

Hannah, wait.

I really-- I've really got to go home.

I've got ice cream...

melting.

Just like me in this conversation.

Who was that?Hannah.

What did she want?

Is something bothering you?

Did you see her recently?

Yes. Earlier, with you.

I mean, another time?

What are you trying to ask me?

Did you say anything to her?

I just thanked her for you.

You thanked her?

For her babysitting and nannying services.

I said we were appreciative.

"We"?

Well, me, you, us. You know.

Listen... Katie.

You're a terrific person.

Really, you are, uh, but...

this... "us"...

isn't a thing.

"Isn't a thing"?

I'm sorry if I gave you any other impression.

I understand.

Best of luck with everything.

I'm just gonna...Mm-hmm.

...take this. Thanks.

Dad, hey.

What are you doing here?

Just in the neighborhood. Figured I'd pop by.

Mwah!Hi.

Hey.

Your sister tells me you've been working a lot lately.

I took on a couple new students.

Nothing crazy.Mm-hmm.

She also tells me you've been a bit gloomy as of late.

I know that I'm your old man, but I believe it was you

that said one gets wiser with age.

Pretty sure that was Shirley.[LAUGHS]

Whoever it was, it's the truth. Come on, what's got ya?

Pains of the heart.Ah, pains of the heart.

Yeah.

I totally misread a relationship.

I mean, I've just never felt so relaxed

spending time with someone before.

And in this case,

it wasn't just him, it was his daughter, too.

Mm.I don't know...

spending time with them just felt right...

if that makes any sense.

And why do you think you won't be spending time with them again?

I will, and I have, with Parker, who I've grown to love,

but... [SIGHS]

But you think you might have fallen in love with her dad, too?

I thought, or hoped,

that the feelings would be mutual but,

I was wrong.

Have I ever told you the story of how I met your mother?

No, actually.

Really?Yeah.

Okay. So...

when I met your mom, I was going steady with another girl.

Okay.

Now, your mother had this job waitressing

at the diner down in town,

and my girlfriend loved their chocolate shakes,

she was always dragging me down there to get her one.

Why do I feel like this is gonna be a really long story?

[LAUGHS] Now, this girlfriend and I were never the perfect fit.

Um, I knew that from the very first date,

but she was nice enough,

and it seemed that, because she liked me,

I should stick with it,

because I wasn't quite as handsome back then as I am now.

[LAUGHS] Dad.[LAUGHS]

But in all seriousness, the instant...

I laid eyes on your mother, and then talked with her,

well, I knew.

You knew what?

That she was the one.

The problem was that I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

So, there I was,

taking Leslie Bingham down to the diner

at her every request,

spending a fortune on chocolate milkshakes...

but only so I could see and talk with your mom.

So what happened?

What happened was I broke it off with Leslie and...

five months later, asked your mom to marry me.

So the moral of the story would be?

Aw, I don't know if there's a moral to the story...

except...

your mother always told me she felt...

the exact same way during all those diner visits.

So, if you're feeling something for Gavin McQueen...

something special...

I would bet my pretty pennies

that he is feeling the exact same thing, too.

Are you ready yet?Almost.

Is something bothering you?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Are you in an argument with Hannah?

Why would you think that?

I've had my lessons with her,

but she hasn't come over recently.

Yeah, I know.

I really like Hannah, Dad. I like the way she sings,

the way she puts me to bed at night,

when she tells me stories about when she was a little girl.

But most of all, I love how you are with her.

You smile a lot and laugh,

and it reminds me how you were when Mom was alive...

and since she hasn't been coming over,

you've kinda been sad again.

Come here.

You know what?What?

I love all those things about Hannah, too.

Whatcha think?

Should we tell her how we feel?

Come on, I've got something to show you.

Is this for Hannah?It sure is.

MARGARET: Here they come.

Hey, you two!Oh, hey!

Bring your kite, Dad?

Did I bring my kite?

I'm a McQueen! We always bring our kites!

One for me and one for you.

The tetrahedral kite from when I was a kid!

What, you didn't think I got rid of it, now, did ya?

Thanks, Dad.You're welcome.

Do you think Hannah's here yet?

Not yet, kiddo.

I'm sure she'll be here soon.

ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Seaside's Annual Kite Festival!

We'll be watching from here. Cheering you on!I love what you've done, sport.

I like your butterfly kite!

Hello!Hannah! You came!

Of course, I came, silly.

I wouldn't miss the chance to see you compete, ever.

Have you seen my dad?Not yet,

but I'm about to compete with him soon.

[BELL RINGING][INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Okay, you remember what I taught you when we first met?

Keep the line taut.That's right.

And if she starts to flounder, you're gonna run,

and then you're gonna pull it in, okay?

Got it!You got this!

ANNOUNCER: On your marks...

get set!

Fly!

And they're off!

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Oh! Oh!

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Come on.

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

HANNAH: Let's go, Parker! You can do it!

MARGARET: You can do it!

GAVIN: That's it![CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

GAVIN: You're doing great!

ANNOUNCER: Oh, no! The little boy's out!

And so is the butterfly kite flown by the little girl!

Yes! Good job, guys!

ANNOUNCER: And the winner of the novice division

is Parker McQueen![CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Great job, Parker!

Dad! I can't believe I got first!

JOHN: Good job, kiddo.

Well done, champ!ANNOUNCER: Up next, expert flyers!

I'm up! Wish me luck.

Go!Luck!

ANNOUNCER: Come on, Gav. Show them what you can do!

Hi.GAVIN: Hey!

I was looking for you earlier.

I had to help my dad untangle his line.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.Parker did well.

Thanks to your training.

Oh, hey.

Look what I brought.[GAVIN GASPS]

She's brought back the pink glasses.

Oh... yeah.

ANNOUNCER: On your marks, get set and fly!

HANNAH: You're going down, McQueen.

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

ANNOUNCER: Gavin is flying the homemade tetrahedral kite

while Hannah is flying

a more traditional multicolored kite.

This competition is last man or woman standing,

so the last kite in the air wins.

You may also notice some familiar faces.

Each competitor today was a winner from previous festivals.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

this is the ultimate in kite-flying competition!

And we have a kite down!

And another one!

PARKER: Can you tell who's winning, Grandpa?

Well, it all depends on the wind, kiddo.

Both are pretty great flyers, so we'll just have to see.

Could be a draw.

Looks like we're losing our audience.

HANNAH: Are you trying to distract me right now?

No! Why would I do that?

HANNAH: Hey, get back over there.

I like being close to you.

Whoa!

SHIRLEY: He's purposely trying to tie her up.

Well, I should hope so.

They've been flying for over an hour now.

ANNOUNCER: We are down to our final two competitors!

HANNAH: Just the two of us.It's a close one.

It is.

MAN: Oh...

Oh!No, no, no! No, no!

[GAVIN GROANING][HANNAH LAUGHING]

Wait! Does that mean I'm the winner?

ANNOUNCER: We have a kite champion!Congratulations.

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]Thank you!

It's the glasses.GAVIN: Must be.

I'm so happy for you, sweetheart.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey! Can I talk to you?

Uh, yeah.

Excuse me.Okay.

What's up?Great flying out there today.

Yeah, there's, um, good wind.You really caught some air.

Hannah, listen. I need to apologize

for anything I said, or did, to get between you two.

I guess you could say I was just being jealous.

Something I need to work on.

But he is a catch, Hannah, as are you.

And from where I'm standing,

you two are nothing short of a perfect match.

You really think so?

I do.

ANNOUNCER: Can I get everyone's attention, please?

Sounds like it's award time. Should we get up there?

Yeah. Let's go.

[CROWD CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

Thank you for coming. I hope you're enjoying the festivities!

What a lineup we have here!

[ALL CHEER]

One thing you might notice

is that the stage is stacked with a particular family,

so it's no wonder that the runner-up

in the expert flying competition is another McQueen.

Gavin McQueen, get on up here![ALL CHEER]

Whoo! Whoo!

You know, the first time I flew in one of these festivals,

I was six years old.

My dad, the handsome chap, most of you know behind me,

built me a tetrahedral.

This one here.

This kite is, uh...

let's just say it's pretty old.[CROWD CHUCKLING]

GAVIN: But it's more than that.

It represents the bonds of family.

Strength, commitment, and love.

Love that has been unkept and free...

and love that has found its way back.

As many of you know,

I moved back here with my daughter

after several years of living away...

and I gotta say,

I am so happy that we made that decision.

For many reasons, this place is special,

our family, old friends, this festival.

But it's become even more special, for us,

because of new friends,

and specifically one particular person.

The same person who just so happens

to have beat the socks off me in the competition today,

Hannah Adams.

I told you. See?GAVIN: Come on up here and get this trophy.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Let's hear it for our flyers, everyone!

[ALL CHEER]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER][MUSIC PLAYING]

All right, they're coming. Ready?

Was a challenge getting it here, but I'm ready.

Okay, what was so important that you had to break up a dance?

Because this man has been working on his moves

for ten years.Nice table! Wow.

Well, glad you like it...Yeah.

...because it's yours.

I'm sorry, what?

HANNAH: Gavin made it for the restaurant.

Happy Anniversary, you two.

[LAUGHS] I don't know what to say!

I know what to say. Group hug! Or thank you!

Oh, my gosh, thank you!

HANNAH: You're so welcome.

PARKER: Incoming, incoming![ALL LAUGH]

HANNAH: What's this?It's for you.

Wait, is this...

Um, it's beautiful.Remember that quote?

"The most important thing in kitemaking

is achieving balance,

just as it is with human beings.

It is believed

that if the kite is made for someone who holds your heart..."

"Then the kite will soar with the love that fostered its creation."

And love most certainly fostered this creation.

It did?

Yeah. It did.
