[knuckles tapping]

- [Howard] Emma, the guests are here.

Everyone's been asking about you.

Come on, this charity event was your idea, remember?

- Go away!

I never wanna see another man for as long as I live!

- What did Hank do now?

- Um, Hank was last month, Mr. Thorndyke.

She's upset about Evan Richmond.

- Do I know Evan Richmond?

- It's the young man Emma's been seeing

for the last three weeks.

- We just broke up over Twitter!

- What?

Why?

You're for it and he's against it?

- Oh, Dad, you're so clueless.

- I think she means on Twitter.

You know through text messages.

- [Howard] What kind of relationship is that?

- One that doesn't exist anymore.

- Look, uh, sweetie, come on,

whoever this Evan guy is, he's an, he's an idiot.

We all love you.

Please join us.

Do whatever you have to do to make her come downstairs.

She has got to make an appearance, all right?

- [Jenny] I'll try, Mr. Thorndyke.

- [Howard] And goats is not enough.

[knuckles tapping]

- Emma, your father's gone.

Can I come in please?

[playful music]

[door clicks]

[upbeat music] [group chattering]

- [laughs] Hey, Stan, you made it.

Samantha, thanks for bringing him.

This is really good cause.

You know, I mean, a healthy body leads to healthy life.

That's what they tell me.

And look, genuine yoga goats,

I mean who can resist them?

[goat baying]

Hey, folks, the demonstration is about to get underway.

But I also wanted to remind you, we're raising funds tonight

for the upcoming marathon, Running With Goats. [laughs]

Yeah, really, I kid you not. [laughs]

- Jen, why do guys stink?

[playful music]

- Um, 'cause most of them don't shower enough. [laughs]

- How could he say that I'm shallow and not independent?

- Babe, you're 27,

and you're still living in your father's house.

- You're taking his side?

- No, I, um, never really liked Evan, or Hank, or-

- Gary.

- Gary for that matter.

- So you're saying I've got bad taste in men.

Great.

- You just, you choose style over substance.

- It's my mother's fault.

- Emma, she's passed away 13 years ago now.

- Yeah, and if she hadn't

she could have given me advice on men.

I mean it's minefield out there,

and every guy I seem to meet is like a grenade.

They pull their pins out and they explode.

- That sums up the opposite sex quite accurately.

[dramatic playful music]

- I'm done.

I'm gonna run away and join the convent.

- Okay, but before you do,

can you go downstairs and greet the guests.

Remember PR means public relations.

That only works if you can relate to the public.

- Public?

A bunch of overweight blimps

pretending to support physical education

when their belts can't even support their bellies.

No thanks.

- There are some also very in shape, hot personal trainers

and athletes, and some really adorable baby goats.

And thanks to you I'm gonna be Hoover-ing up goat hair

for I don't know days, maybe weeks.

- Evan was right, my life is pointless.

- He's wrong.

I may be your dad's PA, but I'm also your best friend.

- Yeah, and what does that say about me?

- Ugh, it says you need

to stop feeling sorry for yourself, go downstairs

or I'm gonna slap you in your face,

and it's gonna hurt.

- Fine!

I mean, fine, I'm gonna go in five minutes.

- Okay. - Just give me a second

to make myself hot again.

[group chattering] [upbeat music]

- Ah-ha, and here she is, your cohost for this evening

and the love of my life, my daughter, Emma.

Now let's get this party really started.

- Five minutes, Dad.

- What? - Mm-hmm.

- Come on, these are some wonderful people.

I mean this young man here I met him at the athletic club.

You haven't even seen the goats.

You look great.

Enjoy yourself.

- Of course I've been to Wimbledon numerous times.

I just finished up the tournament in Dallas.

Won 40-love.

- Are you a tennis player?

- Uh, that is my racket.

- I'm Emma Thorndyke.

- Oh, your father invited me here

to give tips on how to stay in shape.

- Oh, please, tell me more.

- I'd be happy too.

- Here we go again.

- [Emma] So are you Italian?

- Si.

- Oh, I do.

- My name is Nick Milano.

Please, call me Nick.

I just finished the tour of USO.

- Did you win?

- I rarely lose.

But for me it's not about the outcome,

it's the playing of the game that matters.

Therein lies the fun, the challenge.

- Oh, I like games.

- I could tell that the moment I saw you.

I said to myself, "Now here's a woman

who could teach me a thing or two."

- Oh, well, I know very little about tennis.

- Oh, it's not too difficult.

First there is your stance,

the way the player stands before hitting the ball.

You have closed stance. - Mm-hmm.

- Neutral stance, semi-open stance.

- Okay.

- And open. - Oh, open works for me.

- Next your grip is very important.

- Oh.

- There are many techniques here.

- Okay.

- Western grip.

Eastern grip.

Continental grip.

- Let's go for continental.

- Next you need to hit the ball on the sweet spot.

That's, uh, the center of the racket.

- Oh.

- I always aim for the sweet spot.

Then there is the stroke when you hit the ball.

- Hard?

- Always hard.

It is what makes me a pretty, very good server.

- Well, if you're the server then what does that make me?

- The receiver of course.

- [Emma] And how long does that go on for?

- Until last set.

- Oh, I like the sound of that.

[footstep tapping]

[playful mischievous music]

- But, uh, [clears throat] unfortunately,

I have to leave tomorrow back to Roma.

The life of a professional sportsman.

What do, Emma?

- Oh, I keep busy too.

Um, helping my father,

and organizing events like this one.

- That's wonderful.

- No, you're wonderful.

Coming here for such a good cause.

- Perhaps one day you and I can play a round together.

- Oh, I'd love to play a round with you, Nick.

- Until then. - Mm-hmm.

- Game, set.

- [Emma] Oh.

- Match.

- Oh.

I'm telling you, Jenny, this is the real thing.

Nick is the one.

- You've just met him.

- Yeah.

Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?

- Yeah, with your check's in the mail

and I'll still respect you in the morning.

- Uh-uh, you're wrong.

You didn't see the way he looked at me.

It was a real connection.

And he said, "He'd love to see me again."

I'm gonna surprise him,

and show all my stupid exes and my father

that I can be my own independent woman.

Come on, Jenny, please I need your support on this on.

- Okay, what are you gonna tell your father?

- Oh, nothing.

I do not want him to know where I am or what I'm doing.

Nick and I are gonna be completely self-sufficient.

- On your father's credit card?

- No, Jenny, I have my own credit cards.

- That he gets the statements to monthly.

- Right.

I'll just bring cash.

10 grand should be enough for a week or so, right?

- Oh.

And you, you don't believe in banks?

- Oh, there's plenty, plenty more in the bank.

This is just my mad playing money.

- Mad is right.

You can't go around with that much cash on you.

There are muggers everywhere.

- Good call.

- Emma, just take one credit card in case of emergencies.

- Okay.

- I really hope you know what you're doing.

- I have never been so certain about anything in my life.

- [scoffs] That's actually a scary thought.

Your dad's really gonna miss you, you know.

- I'll contact him once Nick and I are happily married.

My dad may be rich, Jenny, but he's lonely.

Having all the money in the world

without anyone to share it with is just not for me.

I need love in my life.

I need Nick.

- I just hope Nick needs you too.

- You know, I think he does.

[upbeat music] [plane engine humming]

[group chattering]

Okay, I can do this.

It's the first day of my new life

in one of the most romantic places in the world.

I don't mean this place.

I mean out there in Rome.

[gentle upbeat music]

What, excuse me.

Do you speak English?

- Uh. [speaking in foreign language]

- My luggage is missing.

It never got off the plane.

And all my things are in it.

Um, can you please help me?

- [speaks in foreign language] Lost and found.

[speaking in foreign language]

- What?

- Lost and found.

You must go to lost and found.

- Ah.

[Emma sighs]

[Emma groans]

[Emma sighs]

[playful music] [bell rings]

[bell rings]

- Just a minute, I'm almost done.

- I wanna speak to your supervisor.

- No, you don't, he's a jerk.

- I'll be the judge of that.

Where is he?

- I'm the supervisor.

What seems to be the problem?

- I've been waiting here for over 40 minutes.

- I've bene working here for over four years,

but you don't see me complaining.

- My luggage is missing.

- Oh, really?

When's the last time you saw it?

- Oh, I don't know, maybe when it was loaded

onto your stupid overcrowded plane

that serves stale pretzels.

- Ugh, I hate it when that happens.

Uh, what's the name?

- Emma Thorndyke.

- [Russell] Ooh, sounds painful.

- Look, you lost my luggage and I demand you to find it.

That is your job is it not?

- Uh, only on the weekdays.

[door clicks]

- Buongiorno.

Ciao, Russell.

Hello, miss.

Can I be of service?

- I hope so.

- Uh, this is, uh, Alex, our best employee here.

Well, our only employee, this is a small airport.

- Big enough to lose my luggage.

[Russell laughs]

- [Alex] Can you describe the missing luggage?

- Yes, so it's a large pink suitcase

with flowers and cats all over it.

- Real ones?

Customs might have an issue with that.

- Pictures.

And don't judge me,

my mother gave me that suitcase when I was 12.

It has great sentimental value.

- I understand.

You are American no?

- [Emma] I live in California.

Flight 232 from LAX.

- 232.

Got it.

We will locate your suitcase in a day or two.

- Wait, are you kidding?

What am I supposed to do until then?

All my clothes and personal belongings are in that bag.

- [Russell] The airline is very sorry

for the inconvenience this is causing you,

so we'd like to offer you this.

- What is it?

- Well, this is a little travel package.

We have a comb here, a little toothbrush

with some toothpaste for those pearly whites.

Little, uh, thing, you know if you want your beauty sleep,

and this wonderful unisex t-shirt.

- No, no, that's it.

I wanna speak to your superior.

- Everyone's superior to Russell.

Don't mind him.

I will find your suitcase, I promise.

- Fine.

But all my money is in that suitcase.

The ticket cost me $942.

The bag fee was $50.

I bought some water in the terminal, so I'm broke.

I've got $3 to my name, which is Emma by the way.

- Oh, Alessandro, Alex.

Pleased to meet you.

- I'm not.

[dramatic playful music]

Well, I would be.

- Do you have, uh, [speaks in foreign language]

credit cards?

- Oh, just the one,

but I can only use it in case of an emergency.

[upbeat playful music]

- You know some people might think

this situation is an emergency.

- Uh-uh, not me, because you're gonna fix it.

You promised.

- Do you have, uh, any family members?

- No, no, family, it's just me now.

I'm relying on you.

My life is in your hands.

[Alex laughs]

- So let, let me think, uh, one second, uh.

Yeah, maybe I know someone who can help you temporarily.

- Great.

Well, then let's go.

I hate airports.

- Uh, this is why I'm not nice to customers, just saying.

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

[upbeat music]

[man singing in foreign language]

- The Colosseum.

So first time in Rome?

- Yeah.

Do you know a guy called Nick Milano?

He's a famous tennis player.

- I can't say I do because I don't.

Is he a friend? - Mm-hmm.

Well, soon to be boyfriend, then my fiance,

and then my husband. [squeals]

I've got it all worked out.

- Sounds like it.

Does he live nearby?

- Oh, I hope so.

I'm here to find him.

- Why don't you call him?

- Oh, well, I wanted to surprise him.

He doesn't know I'm here in town,

and I don't actually have his number

or know where he is, but that's okay.

As soon as I find my bearings,

I'll begin my mission tracking down Nick Milano.

[man singing in foreign language]

So where do you live, Alex?

- In a small place in town, very small,

but my parents have a nice farm near La Fattorietta.

They grow tomatoes and, uh-

- Oh, Roma tomatoes, I eat those.

- No, no, Roma tomatoes are actually grown more

in the United States, Mexico, and Australia.

We have a different kind of tomatoes, very special.

- Where are we going?

- Uh, I have a friend who owns a cafe.

There's a room upstairs.

- Hold up, I'm not shacking with some random Italian guy

that I don't know, unless his name's Nick Milano.

- Don't worry, my friend is not Italian or a guy.

[upbeat music]

[man singing in foreign language]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

So Emma, this is my friend, uh, Diana Jensen.

And Diana, this is Emma.

- Thorndyke.

- Yes, exactly.

Uh, from California.

- Right, is the young lady that lost her luggage.

- Mm-hmm. - Oh, no,

I didn't lose it, they did.

- Oh, yeah.

You know the same thing

actually happened to me 10 years ago.

- And you're still here waiting for it?

- No, they, they found it.

They found it.

I just stayed for other reasons, and I opened up this cafe.

So um, Alex here tells me that you're strapped for cash.

- Oh, well, only until they find my suitcase.

- Well, I, I actually have a spare bedroom above the cafe.

You know food and rent are not for free,

so are you willing to do a little bit of work?

- Work?

You mean as in like work?

- Oh, yeah, just standard definition of work.

- What, what kind of work?

- Uh, you wanna guess? [laughs]

[playful music]

- Oh, this is like a coffee shop, right?

- Yep, coffee shop.

So cleaning and let's see serving customers.

You are gonna get the hang of it.

You are.

- Yeah, I mean, I'm an independent woman, so I can do it.

Find my suitcase fast.

- Yes, I will let you know as soon as we have located it.

I gotta go now.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Diana speaks in foreign language]

Ciao.

Emma. - Oh.

- Good luck.

- Well, why don't I, um, show you to the room

and get you all setup.

- Um, all my clothes are in my missing suitcase.

- Yeah, I figured as much.

I think I got you covered.

Come on. - Great.

[gentle brooding music] [birds chirping]

- Gone?

What do you mean gone?

Where did she go?

- I don't know, Mr. Thorndyke.

She just said, "She needed to get away for a while."

She wants to become a little bit more self-sufficient.

[Jenny laughs]

- I'm all for that.

But to leave without saying goodbye, what the heck?

Does she hate me that much?

- No, Emma loves you, I know she does.

She just needs to find herself.

I'm sure she's fine.

And she's a lot more resourceful than you think.

And I bet wherever she is

she's got everything under control. [laughs]

[dramatic playful music]

- Uh-uh.

I can't go out like this.

I look like a street urchin.

- [laughs] You look like a girl that works in my cafe,

which is exactly what you are.

So what part of California did you say you were from?

- I live in L.A.

- Well, why don't you try to get some rest.

I will see you downstairs bright and early

in the morning, seven a.m. sharp.

[playful music]

- Seven?

[door clicks]

[Emma sighs] [door bangs]

[sticker thuds] [upbeat mischievous music]

- Now pay attention.

First there is caffe.

Caffe literally does translate to coffee.

Caffe is also a shot of expresso.

It's served in a tiny, hot cup,

and customers drink them all day long.

- Caffe corretto, which is a shot of expresso

corrected with a shot of liquor.

The most common additions are grappa, sambuca, or cognac.

Cappuccino, which is probably Italy's most famous coffee.

Caffe latte, well, it's basically an American latte.

One third espresso, two thirds heated milk,

and a little bit of foam.

Americano is a shot of espresso, layer of foam,

and sprinkle of cocoa powder in a glass mug

that's also been dusted with cocoa powder.

[Emma sighs]

Macchiato.

Shakerato.

Caffe al ginseng.

Caffe d'orzo.

[playful music]

[keys clicking] [group chattering]

[phone ringing]

- It's her again.

- How do you know that?

- 'Cause the phone's ringing.

[phone beeps]

- Pronto.

Emma.

Your suitcase did get on plane

but it was the wrong plane.

We're thinking Japan.

[hand thuds]

Yes, once I get confirmation it's there,

I'll immediately get it on the next plane out to Rome.

I promise.

Pronto, Emma.

Hello?

Bad connection.

- Sure.

I told you not to get I involved.

- Russell, this is our job.

We are responsible.

- You like her don't you?

- You're crazy.

I just feel sorry for her.

She has no family, she's alone, no money.

- Hmm, sounds like your type.

- You know nothing about my type.

And she told me, "She's in love with another guy."

- Sounds like exactly your type.

- Stupid, you're stupid, and you know that.

- Relax, you're gonna do just fine.

Okay, look, there's a customer.

- Uh, how can I help you?

- [Customer] Shakerato. [speaks in foreign language]

- Does that mean small?

- No, he just want's a cup of ice coffee.

Remember this is not Starbucks.

- Okay, okay, I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Customer speaking in foreign language]

Small.

[button clicks] [coffee machine whirring]

[Emma sighs]

[steam hissing]

[gentle upbeat music]

[cup clanging]

[Customer speaking in foreign language]

Um, what just happened?

What did you make him?

- Um, he order a caffe corretto,

so I made an expresso with a shot

of cognac, sambuca, grappa, and some Irish cream

just like you said.

- Oh.

Okay, Emma, that was or not and.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Uh, look, see my customers they come in here

for just a little pick me up not to become alcoholics.

- Yeah, I'm sorry, Ms. Jensen,

but you know I've never had to serve anybody before.

- Yeah, um, what, what exactly did you do

for money back in America?

- Oh, I just got it and spent it.

Um, look, why don't you go in the back and just sweep.

Can you do that?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay. - Now?

- Yeah. - Okay.

- Yeah.

[gentle brooding music] [birds chirping]

[mischievous music]

[phone ringing]

[Emma sighs]

[phone beeps]

- Finely, I was starting to get concerned,

and your father's already worried.

- Oh, I know, he's been calling and leaving messages

but I haven't responded.

- Okay, but are you okay, and how's Rome?

- Oh, I'm surviving.

But they've got me working in a coffee shop.

- [Jenny] What?

- It's a long story.

- Okay, so can you tell me everything?

- Well, you know what I actually feel like Cinderella

but during the bad part of her story.

You know when like they make her clean,

and like work, and stuff.

[Jenny laughs]

Like that's me honestly.

No, I'm not lying.

I'm cleaning right now.

- [Jenny] You'll be okay.

[hand thuds]

- Oh, you know you own big time for this favor.

- It's not working out, huh?

- Look, she's, she's really sweet

but she doesn't have a clue.

I put her in the back so she could just clean up.

[metal clanging]

Or not.

- I'm really sorry, Diana.

But I didn't know where else to take her.

I just felt bad for her.

- I know, honey, listen, I do too.

I think she's actually escaping an abusive relationship

back in the States.

- No. - Yeah.

- So I mean, obviously I wanna help her

but I wanna keep my business open too.

Emma, she's gotta know somebody else here.

- Yeah, she told me, "She was looking for a guy."

- Okay.

- Named, uh, oh, dear, Nick something.

Uh, Nick Milano. - Milano?

- Yes. - Milano?

Why does that sound so familiar?

- He's a tennis player.

Um, yes, I think.

I never heard about him.

But she said, "She has a plan to marry him."

But she might be a little, you know delusional.

- Mm-hmm, you sure do know how to pick 'em.

- Well, those glasses were piled up way too high.

They almost killed me.

You found it, my suitcase.

- [Alex] Yes, Russell located it in Japan,

and it was shipped right out.

- Great, will it be here tomorrow?

- Not quite, it's just making

a little detour to Iceland first.

- Iceland?

- Yes, uh, there was a slight communication problem.

Italy, Iceland, it's understandable.

- It happens. - Oh, I gotta get out of here.

- Yes, that is a great idea.

Actually, look, I'm about to close up,

so why don't the two of you go get a little dinner, huh?

And I'll go reorganize what you just reorganized.

- Well, as long as you don't need me anymore, Ms. Jensen.

- I, I don't need you, so go have fun.

- Where should we go?

- Out.

- I know a place.

- Great.

- Ciao. - Ciao.

[gentle music] [traffic humming]

[group chattering]

[Waitress speaks in foreign language]

- Oh, no thank you.

I do not wanna see another coffee for as long as I live.

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

What kind of coffee is that?

- No, I just asked for the check.

- [Emma] Oh.

- So I'm still a little bit confused

about your Cinderella analogy.

- Right, well, I was starting to freak out,

so I called my friend, Jenny from back home.

She's also my assistant.

- You have an assistant?

- Oh, yeah, sure.

I've got assistants, cooks, maids, drivers, you name it.

I'm like rolling in dough,

but not the type Ms. Jensen uses to make her pastries.

[Alex speaks in foreign language]

- Oh, my money's in my suitcase,

but I'll pay you back, I promise.

- I believe you.

So Cinderella?

- Right, okay, so I realized I was like her

but before she met her prince or her fairy godmother.

Although, you could be my fairy godmother

now that I think about it.

- Nobody's ever called me that before.

- Well, probably because you're a guy.

No, actually maybe Ms. Jensen is my fairy godmother

and you're like one of the mice

that transforms into the horse.

Oh, no, no, no, you're, you're the, you're the dog

that becomes the footman.

That's you.

- You're too kind.

- Well, all I know is Nick is my prince

and we're gonna live happily ever after once I find him.

- Like in the fairy tale.

- Exactly.

But first I need to find the glass slipper,

which in my case is my missing luggage.

- But if memory serves correctly

doesn't the prince find the slipper,

and then he goes searching for, uh, Cenerentola, Cinderella?

- This is a modern version.

Cinderella just has to do a little bit more legwork

this time around, which is fine.

I'm up for it.

That's okay.

I got the leg, see.

Whoops.

- Yes. [chuckles]

Very nice. [chuckles] - Well, I've gotta be in shape

if I wanna be marrying Nick Milano,

tennis player extraordinaire.

- Nick Milano.

- Oh, you've heard of him?

- Si, everybody knows Nicky.

- I don't.

- You're not a woman.

- [Emma] So do you know where I can find him?

- I believe Nicky's out of town for a few days.

He went to Spain for the weekend, so like Nick.

- Another tennis match right?

- Si, Nicky's always in demand.

- Yeah, he's a pro, I told you.

I can wait for him to return.

What are you doing for the weekend?

- [Alex] I have to go help my parents at the farm.

- A farm?

Like in the country?

- Yes, that's where they're usually located.

- [Emma] Great, well, I might join you.

- No, no, uh, no.

I'm not sure you would have much fun.

We are not nearly as well-off as you.

- Oh, that's fine,

I'm all about trying new things these days.

Except the bread.

[Alex laughs]

[gentle upbeat music]

- [Russell] So you had dinner with her, you make any moves?

- No, there were no moves made.

And what is so astonishing about Emma,

she has nothing but a sense of entitlement.

- American.

- Yeah, she's living in a fantasy world.

She thinks she's rich.

Just never met anyone like her.

- Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

- All I know is once we get back her suitcase

she won't be my problem anymore.

[speaks in foreign language]

That's right.

Pink with kitties and flowers.

That's great.

It arrive on Iceland, and is now on flight 1642

on its way to Istanbul.

Istanbul?

No, Rome, Italy!

It's suppose to going to Rome, Italy!

You know big Colosseum!

Are you kidding me?

It's suppose to be going to Rome!

[Russell laughing]

Stop laughing!

The universe is out to get me.

[sticker thuds]

- Istanbul.

Oh, Alex, really why are you doing this to me?

Do you hate me?

[scoffs] No, I'm, I'm not gonna tell her.

Because I'm trying my best not to kill her.

Yeah, that's all on you.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you're gonna have to do it.

Good luck with that.

Okay, uh, I gotta go.

Ciao.

[Emma speaking in foreign language]

- Well, good morning to you too.

Did you sleep well?

- Well, you know the bed

is a little harder than I'm used to,

and the pillows are a bit fluffy.

The blanket could definitely do with a good clean,

but I'm not complaining.

- Sure, I mean it sounded like you were but I know.

- No, Ms. Jensen, you've been so great to me.

And you know what?

I predict that I will not break one glass today.

Although, I don't think I'm gonna be here for much longer

because Alex assured me my suitcase will be here today.

- I got an idea.

Why don't you take a few hours off and go find Nick?

I'm sure he'd love to see you.

- I know likewise.

But I heard he's in Spain this weekend.

- Right.

Uh, okay, here.

- Right.

- You know when I first came to Rome

it was because of a guy as well.

But I wasn't chasing him, I was actually,

I was running away from a really bad marriage.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

- I mean perhaps I'm getting this wrong

but I kinda feel like maybe

you're running away from something too.

- Well, to be honest,

you know I haven't had a lot of luck with guys in the past.

They think I'm spoiled.

- Oh. - I think they're jerks.

- 99% of them are jerks.

But I mean not all of them.

Some of them are actually okay.

Like Alex most of the time.

- And Nick.

You know me and Nick are gonna be so happy together.

Like he just not like the others, you know?

- Mm-hmm.

- We have such a strong connection,

and we've got even more in common now.

- Oh, yeah, what's that?

- Well, get this, so he's a tennis player, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- So he's serves balls for a living.

- [Diana] Uh-huh.

- Hello, I'm now serving coffee.

That's something right?

We're both servers.

- That is something, that is something.

- Should I go open the door for business?

- [Diana] Be my guest.

- I already am.

[Emma exhales]

[door clicks]

[speaks in foreign language]

[gentle brooding music] [birds chirping]

- [Jenny] You wanted to see me, Mr. Thorndyke?

- Yeah, Jenny, I, uh, just printed out

Emma's cellphone bill.

- [Jenny] Uh-huh.

[Howard laughs]

- So according to this,

you are the very last person she called.

- Mm-hmm.

- [Howard] Therefore I assume you can tell me

what she's doing in Rome?

[playful music]

[upbeat music] [group chattering]

- Hi, uh, right, so we've got the, the macchiato,

uh, the caffe d'orzo, caffe corretto,

caffe doppio, cappuccino, um, and Americano.

Right, let's start that again.

Um, the macchiato?

Right.

So you get one of these.

Um, yeah, just, just pick one.

- Um, Emma, Emma,

I think I'm gonna be serving the coffees from now on.

- Oh, okay.

Should I make new ones?

- No.

- Clean? - No.

Um, uh, how about groceries?

We need more groceries, wanna get them?

- Oh, shopping sure.

I'm really good at spending money, Ms. Jensen.

- Great.

Okay, here we go.

- Awesome.

[Diana speaking in foreign language]

- Oh. - Ah.

[gentle music]

- Uh, no, no.

No touching.

- Oh, but how do buy them?

Okay.

Oh, how much are these?

- Uh. [speaks in foreign language]

- Oh, okay.

[Employee speaking in foreign language]

- He means you. - Si.

- Oh.

- In Italy we do it ourselves.

[speaks in foreign language]

[Employee speaks in foreign language]

- I talked with Diana, she said, "She sent you here."

- Yeah, I mean this shopping thing

is so complicated over here.

- Can't be that different from the States?

- I don't know I've never been grocery shopping.

- Then how do you eat?

- With my mouth.

- Right.

Oh, you have servants and, uh, butlers back home.

- Exactly.

[Alex speaks in foreign language]

- Great.

[Alex speaks in foreign language]

- This working thing takes work.

[Emma sighs]

- Oh, I've some news about your luggage.

- It arrived.

- No, but we know exactly where it is.

- Alex, I can't live like this.

I'm a girl, I've got needs.

Oh, my goodness finally.

Oh, yes.

- You need all these?

- Oh, this is just the bare minimum.

Besides I have to look my best for when Nick returns

from his tennis tournament in Spain.

- Nick?

Nick Milano?

- Oh, you've heard of him?

- Si, Nicky is the best.

- The best tennis player you mean.

- Yes, he's give great lessons.

Is he back?

- Oh, I heard in a few days.

- Isn't it nice that Nick

is willing to share his knowledge to others?

- Si, yes.

This Nick seems like quite the player.

Hmm.

- That much?

Ugh, well, I guess the time has come.

- So this is the emergency?

- Well, obviously, otherwise I can't buy what I need.

- Uh, no good.

- Oh, no, the card's fine, there's a $50,000 limit.

[card clicks] [machine beeps]

- Uh, rejected.

- What did he say?

- Rejected.

English.

- Rejected.

- Oh, no, that has to be a mistake.

Can you please try it one more time?

[Cashier clears throat]

[phone ringing]

Jenny?

- No, it's your father.

So how's Europe, hm?

Having fun?

Any issues with your credit card?

- No.

How could you, Dad?

How could you?

- How could I?

How could you?

Chasing after a doggone tennis player all the way to Italy.

I mean you might as well have run off

with one of those goats from the fundraiser.

- Oh. [speaks in foreign language]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

- You don't understand, Nick and I are in love.

- Let me speak to him.

- Well, he's not here at the moment.

He's in Spain.

- Emma, please come back.

I'll, I'll, handle your plane ticket.

- I do not want your money.

I can take care of myself, Dad.

- Oh, yeah, Jenny tells me you're broke.

You lost all your money.

- I'm fine, I'm working now.

- Working?

Doing what?

- Goodbye, Father.

[dramatic playful music]

- She's never worked a day in her life.

This I gotta see.

[gentle music]

- Emma.

- Oh, Alex, you shouldn't have.

- I know, but you said you needed these things.

- You're so sweet, Alex.

I promise I'll pay you back.

- Right, once your ship comes in.

- Well, my suitcase, yeah.

- Who was on the phone?

- Oh, just a very bad man but I don't wanna talk about it.

- Did he hurt you?

- Well, yeah, you could say that he did.

He has no respect for my dreams, my desires.

He just thinks I'm a little foolish girl.

- Sounds like you're better off without him.

- Yeah, darn right.

But now I'm all alone.

- You're not alone, I'm here, and so is Diana.

Oh, if you want to tag along

I'm still heading up to my parents' farm

near La Fattorietta.

- Oh, yeah, I'd love to come.

A peaceful weekend in the country

that's exactly what I need.

- Great.

My parents will be thrilled.

[Emma cheers]

They love houseguests, I suppose.

[Russell laughing]

- Uh, so you paid for her groceries,

and you're taking her to see your parents tomorrow.

- I already told you I don't like her.

- Oh, no, you don't like this girl at all.

Okay, okay, whatever you say.

- So did you find the luggage?

- Yeah, and I'll make sure it gets on the right flight here.

[Alex speaks in foreign language]

- You don't worry about it all right.

Just have a fun time at the family farm.

Everything here is under control.

- I can imagine.

- All right, see ya, dude.

- You done?

All fine and dandy, happy?

- Uh, what seems to be the problem?

[suspenseful music]

[playful music] [stickers thudding]

[man singing in foreign language]

- Okay, so tell me about your parents.

I mean why did they become farmers?

- Well, in Italy most don't become farmers.

We are kind of, uh, born into it.

It's a family generational thing

going back to my grandparents

and their parents before them.

- You must have grown

a lot of tomatoes throughout the centuries.

- I suppose we have.

[upbeat music]

[man singing in foreign language]

- And then what led you to the lost and found department?

Got sick of the tomatoes?

- Not at all, actually I still love them.

Was purely [speaks in foreign language] financial reasons.

You know the farm hasn't been going to well lately,

and I needed to, to get, you know another job.

- Sucks to be poor, right?

- You tell me.

- I wouldn't recommend it.

[Alex laughs]

But cheer up, I mean you guys can't be in too bad of shape.

I mean you live in Italy, look around.

Most Americans can't even afford to visit Europe

let alone live here.

I mean the plane ticket alone.

[man singing in foreign language]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

- [Roberto] Oh, Alessandro.

[Martina speaks in foreign language]

- Ciao.

[Martina speaking in foreign language]

- Lost and found friend, Mama.

- Oh, yeah. - We met at

the lost and found.

- I'm Emma.

- Hi, Emma.

Martina.

- Hi, I'm Roberto.

Welcome. - Oh, thank you.

- [Martina] Ah, you are thin as nail, my dear.

Do you not eat?

- Oh, well, you know I could do with some tomatoes.

- You came to the right place.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Roberto speaking in foreign language]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

[Roberto speaking in foreign language]

- Even so she's a bit different.

She still believes in fairy tales.

Always looking on the positive side despite the situation.

And Diana believes she hard life.

Doesn't have a penny to her name,

but won't let it stop her.

- She should fit right in.

- Ah, just be nice.

Don't believe everything she says.

- Alex, if you like her, we like her.

[Alex laughs]

[speaking in foreign language]

- Here you are.

- Mmm.

It's the best tomato sandwich I've ever tasted.

- Grazie.

- You know I used to pick tomatoes in my garden

with my mom when was really young.

She loved to grow things before she got sick.

- Be careful, Emma,

because my parents will put you to work, huh.

- Oh, I don't mind.

[Martina and Roberto laughing]

- I knew I liked you from the first time I saw you.

- So would you like to see

how the best tomato paste is made?

- Like it, I insist on it.

- Okay.

- [Emma] Oh.

- You can do it.

I'll let you.

[Emma laughs]

Well, tomatoes are our business.

We have of course san marzano, pomodorino vesuviano,

pisanello, ciliegino di Pachino,

camona, we have a lot.

Costoluto Fiorentino.

- Costoluto Fiorentin, it's a little bit dry.

That's why usually we are using it for salads.

- Oh, okay.

- Yes, and in the winter when it's too cold outside

we keep growing them in a greenhouse.

- Oh.

Oh, right.

- You can do it.

- See.

Way too hot.

Mmm, it's good.

- Buono?

Never stop, never stop.

'Til tomorrow never stop, never stop.

- It's delicious.

- You know you can pick some tomatoes

while they're still green.

It let's them to continue to ripen

and guarantees fresh ones.

- Yeah, I remember my mom always saying,

"They should be smooth and shiny," right?

- That's right.

- See I know a thing or two.

- This. - Okay.

Oh, yeah.

[man singing in foreign language]

- It should have a earthy, sweet smell.

- Oh, it's nice.

- Then you have to squeeze it to test the firmness.

- Oh. [laughs]

Oops.

- You have to be a little more gentle next time.

[gentle music]

- You should really market these tomatoes.

- We do.

This is our livelihood.

- No, I know, but I mean really market them,

so the whole world knows how delicious they are.

Oh, no, thank you.

I'm not really a fan of the bread over here.

- Try it with Martini's homemade tomato spread.

- Okay, if you insist.

- You know we send our tomatoes out

to all the markets and to wholesalers

in jars, cans, boxes, in this jam.

- This is amazing.

- Balsamic tomato spread, my own secret recipe.

- You know Diana's cafe could really use some of this.

She's got bread and pastries but it's not that good.

This would make a huge improvement.

And that restaurant that we were at the other night,

they could really use this stuff too.

- That's not a bad idea.

- I could ask Diana if she's interested.

- I bet my father could sell this in the States.

He's really successful at importing and exporting goods.

That's where he made his millions.

He just know what makes money you know.

Well, we both do.

He used to call me his little financial genius

because I had great taste,

especially with things that taste great.

- We could really use someone like you.

You know it's been a hard year for us.

- The weather has been very hot in July and August.

- Oh, you need more greenhouses then

to control the conditions, right?

- That cost money, Emma.

- Yeah, well, a good investment is a good investment,

that's what I always say.

- I never heard you say that.

- Well, because I only say it

when I'm talking business mode.

This is probably not appropriate dinner conversation

but I'm telling you, you're on to something here.

- So Emma, are you here, are you in Rome for business?

- No, pleasure.

I'm in love

with Nick Milano.

He's a professional tennis player,

and we're gonna get married.

- So any further questions.

- Uh, cheers.

[Alex speaks in foreign language]

- Cheers.

[glasses clanging]

- Cheers.

[Emma laughs]

[birds chirping]

- Ciao.

[car doors banging]

[Martina speaking in foreign language]

[Roberto speaking in foreign language]

[gentle music] [birds chirping]

- Well, I had a great time.

- [Alex] Good.

- Your parents started acting a little strange

after dinner though don't you think?

- Yes.

I think they thought that, uh, we were dating.

- You and I?

- Yes, as in we.

- Oh.

That's, that's silly, right?

- Right. - Right.

- [Alex] I'll let you know when your luggage arrives.

- Okay, thank you.

- [Alex] I'm just doing my job.

- Alex, what's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Are you mad at me? - Why should I be mad at you?

- Well, I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

- Listen, some of us have to live in the real world.

We cannot afford to believe in fairy tales as you do.

- What's that suppose to mean?

- I'm just saying sometimes things

don't work out as you plan,

and the slipper doesn't fit.

- That's mean.

- Yeah, well, the truth can hurt.

- Well, you know what?

What do you know?

You're just a-

- A dog?

Say it.

Or was it a mouse?

- A jerk.

- Okay, Cinderella.

And I better leave you before my car turns into a pumpkin.

- Well, it already drives like one.

- Huh, what's this?

- It's balsamic tomato spread.

Absolutely delicious.

Put it on all your bread and pastries.

- All right, thank you.

So how was your weekend?

- Wonderful.

- Mmm.

- And then horrible.

- Oh.

- What's wrong with men?

- That's a really long list.

Why don't you ask me what's right with them?

- I mean he was so sweet and nice the whole time

and then out of nowhere it was Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde.

- Alex, that doesn't sound like him.

- Well, I never wanna see him for as long as I live.

- Well, I don't think you're gonna have to

because there is somebody waiting for you in your room.

He arrived today.

- No.

He found out I was here and tracked me down?

- [Diana] Pretty much.

- Oh, my God, how do I look?

- Like you.

- The slipper doesn't fit, huh?

Well, I show him how perfect my feet are.

- What?

- [Emma] Just wish me luck.

- Good luck.

[door clicks]

- You found me!

- Oh, you better believe I did.

[playful music]

- Daddy?

- Who were you expecting, hmm?

The fairy godmother?

- You, uh, don't look like a man that's in love.

- How many times do I have to tell you

there's nothing going on between Emma and I.

[speaks in foreign language]

She's in her world and I'm in mine.

If I could just get back her suitcase

she'd be out of my life for good.

- I mean if, uh, that's what you really want.

- That's exactly what I want.

So it has arrived?

- Almost.

- It can't take so long to get here for Istanbul.

- Oh, look, it went through Uruguay,

now it's going up through Africa.

It's gonna take a couple of days.

- How is this possible?

We have to be dealing

with every incompetent baggage handler in existence.

- Pretty much.

But hey, it's probably gonna get here

by the time she has to head back.

- Ah.

that can't come soon enough.

- So, uh, tell me about your parents,

how did it go there?

- She drives everyone crazy.

You think you know where you stand with her

and then she's off in another direction.

No sense of reality or other people's feelings.

[speaks in foreign language]

- For someone who, uh, doesn't seem to care

you sure seem to care a lot about here.

- No, [speaking in foreign language], I'm done caring.

Someone else turn now, no.

- Well, I guess it's, uh, good

that her father showed up looking for her.

- What?

[gentle music]

Her father?

But she said, "She has no family."

- Oh, she has a father all right,

and a mean one at that.

He came in, uh, looking for her this morning

and, um, I told her, "She was at Diana's cafe."

- Are you sure he was her real dad

- Oh, I'm sure.

His name is Howard Thorndyke.

I looked him up this morning after he left the airport,

he's a multimillionaire.

- Oh dear, mamma mia.

Then that fantasy world of hers is not a lie.

- Will you eat something other than the bread

and whatever that stuff is.

- I'm not hungry.

- Come on, Emma, you're acting like a kid.

- Because you're treating me like one.

- Okay, when we get back to the States

everything will be better.

- Uh-uh, oh, no, I'm not going back with you.

- Huh?

Don't you at least wanna see Jenny?

I mean she misses you.

- I never wanna see that tattletale again.

- She didn't rat you out, okay?

Let's be clear about that.

I handle your cellphone bill, remember?

Calls from Europe to America

are readily apparent on the statement.

- Fine, I'll pay for my own cell bill then.

I'm a working girl now.

- Look, I appreciate that you wanna

stand on your own two feet.

It's actually about time.

However, no daughter of mine

is gonna waste away at a coffee shop, all right?

I didn't not send you to the best schools

for you to work at a menial job.

- Yeah, but when Nick and I get married

then I won't have to work here anymore.

You know I could start my own business.

- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.

- Doing what?

- Whatever I want.

You know I discovered this tomato farm

just outside the city,

and with the right management it could be huge.

I already have ideas

on how to help them expand their operations.

- [laughs] What in God's green earth

do you know about tomatoes?

- A lot actually.

That is a pomodoro di pachino.

It's probably come for the southeast coast of Sicily.

And there's four varieties,

ciliegino, costoluto, tondo liscio, and grappolo.

- Well, you got the lingo down.

Who's been teaching you about tomatoes?

- Oh, just a guy I know.

His parents are farmers.

They've actually got this really neat place

just near La Fattorietta.

It's really lovely.

- So Nick's folks grow tomatoes.

- No, Alex, Alex's parents.

- Who's Alex?

- A guy.

A different guy.

- Well, how many guys are you seeing, Emma?

Jenny told me, "That you were in love

with this tennis player."

- Oh, I am, and I'm not leaving until I see him.

[phone ringing]

Oh.

[squeals] Okay.

- [Howard] So what's up?

- So I get notifications online

for anything concerning Nick Milano.

And it says here, "That he's back in town."

Look, he's gonna be a the Sportsmen's Lodge tomorrow.

- You, you know that's clear across town.

- Oh, great, well, that's where I'll be then with Nick,

and you can't stop me.

I better go prepare for my big day.

Okay, goodnight.

[door clicks]

- I'm so sorry that I butted in.

- No, no, it doesn't matter.

I mean once her mind's set there is no stopping her.

- Yeah, I know.

She kinda reminds me of me at that age.

- Hmm.

I've just lost my ability to communicate with her.

- You know if you just give her a little bit of time,

I think she'll turn around.

- The food's good.

- [Diana] Glad you like it.

- Wish I was hungry.

[gentle upbeat music]

- She's already gone.

Yeah, she got up bright and early this morning.

She jumped in a cab,

and she went to go surprise Nick at Sportsmen's Lodge.

- I suspected as much.

Okay.

Well, well, let me, uh, let me get a pastry.

And I need a cup of the strongest coffee you got.

- Coming right up.

Here you go.

- Oh, thank you.

- Do you, uh, mind if I join you?

- Well, sure, please do.

- Thank you. [laughs]

You know when I first met Emma, um,

I thought she was actually running away

from a bad relationship.

I didn't realize that when she said Daddy

she actually meant her real father.

[Diana and Howard laughing]

- You've been very kind to her.

And I owe you a debt of gratitude

for taking her in, Ms. Jensen.

- Diana.

And Emma is, she's really a sweet girl,

and she really means well.

I could, I could see right away.

- Mm-hmm, she has a great heart.

She always seems to give it to the worst men.

- Actually that would be my ex-husband,

he wins the worst man award hands down.

[Howard chuckles]

- You got any kids, Diana?

- No, I, I manged to avoid that mistake.

- Not a fan of children?

- Oh, no, I, I love children,

it was just my male counterpart.

Yeah, it worked out for the best.

- Well, I got lucky there.

I found the most amazing woman but I lost her too soon.

You know it was kind of hard raising a daughter by yourself.

When, uh, Margaret got sick Emma was only 12,

and then she passed.

I like to think I've done my best.

Thought I've been a good dad.

- I'm really sorry to hear that, Mr. Thorndyke.

- Oh, Howard.

- Howard.

- Right.

I'm gonna need another one of these.

- Coming right up.

- [laughs] Thank you.

[gentle romantic music] [birds chirping]

- My love, you have found me.

- I've missed you so much.

- We should never be apart again.

[racket thuds]

[Emma gasps]

Emma Thorndyke, will you marry me?

- Yes!

Yes!

- Yes?

- [Emma] It's me from California.

- Oh, yes, of course, uh, Esther, right?

- No.

- Elizabeth?

- Emma.

Emma Thorndyke.

- Right. - Yoga goats.

- Right, Emma and the goats, uh.

Nice to see you again.

I was just in the middle

of giving, uh, some personal lessons

to a few of my favorite clients.

- Yes, wait your turn.

- [Nick] Ladies, please, give me a moment.

- I flew all the way here to see you.

I thought you were a professional tennis player.

Competed at Wimbledon?

You work in a country club?

- I said I'd been to Wimbledon,

never said I competed there.

- And why are all your clients women?

- They appreciate what I have to offer.

You should of told me you were coming to Italia.

- I wanted to surprise you. - Well, you have.

Where are you staying?

Perhaps we can get together later for drinks.

- Well, I was hoping to stay with you.

- With me?

I, uh, I do not think my wife would permit that.

- You're married?

Oh, but you didn't tell me that.

- I also never told you I wasn't.

- I mean you weren't wearing a wedding ring.

You're not, you're not wearing one now.

- Well, you know it's, uh, better for business if I don't.

Women like to play these little fantasies in their minds

about tennis instructor and the student.

Would you like me to give you lesson while you're in town?

- I've learned enough.

[foot thuds] [Nick groans]

[group chattering] [Alex whistling]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

- One pink suitcase for, uh, Ms. Emma Thorndyke.

- [speaks in foreign language] That's it, it's here.

- It is.

I need you to sign here.

Finally.

- It'd help if you didn't keep changing destinations.

- We always wanted it here in Rome, Italia.

- Well, we have requests to ship this suitcase

to Iceland, Turkey, Uruguay, and then South Africa.

- Requests?

From who?

- One,

Russell Russo.

Thanks, guys.

[door clicks]

- What is he talking about?

- Um, look, it, it started like a little practical joke.

- A joke?

- Yeah, uh, first the airline screwed up

and sent it over to Japan,

and then I saw you getting involved with her,

and you know finding her a place to live,

and getting her food. And I thought it'd be funny if the bag

took a bigger detour, you know.

- You used the word funny.

- I, I thought it was funny,

but then my motivations changed

when I saw that you started, you know liking her.

You took her to your parents' farm.

Uh, you took her out to dinner.

And you guys, you know, you guys seemed to like each other,

so you know, think of me as a mischievous cupid, you know.

- Cupid. - Love.

[knuckles cracking]

- You got five seconds and I'm going to kill you.

- [Russell] I'm taking my lunch break! [Alex laughing]

- Russell. [speaking in foreign language]

Open the door. - No.

- I'm not doing anything look. - No.

- [Russell] Don't look at the suitcase.

- Russell. [speaks in foreign language]

- [Russell] Don't look at the suitcase.

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

- Did Emma have you try this spread last night?

- Uh-uh. - Okay, you should.

Really, this came from Alex's tomato farm.

- Uh-huh.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

Not bad.

Zesty. - Mm-hmm.

- But sweet.

Emma may be on to somethin'.

We could generate a demand for this back in the US.

Yeah, kinda unique.

[Emma sighs] [door bangs]

- [Diana] You're back so soon. Did you find Nick?

- I did.

- [Howard] And how'd it go?

- Nick is not who I thought he would be.

Things between us are over.

You know I'm mature enough to admit when I'm wrong

and I was wrong.

- [Howard] Mm-hmm.

- I'm moving on.

- Does that mean you're gonna be leaving us?

- And coming back with me.

- Oh, no, no, I'm gonna stay here in Rome,

and I'm ready to work.

You know I even learned

how to say nice to meet you in Italian.

[speaks in foreign language]

- [laughs] Say what?

- Dad, you were right.

I mean I've been acting like a child the whole time.

It's about time I grow up.

- Great. - And you know I can't do that

while living with you in California.

I have to stand on my own two feet

starting here and now.

- Well, I mean it doesn't need to be like here.

- [chuckles] And it doesn't need be right now.

- Well, no, yes, it does.

And you know what I'm ready to work like everyone else.

And I'm determined to be the best coffee maker

you've ever had, Ms. Jensen.

- [laughs] Help.

- [laughs] Yeah, look, Emma,

I really appreciate the, uh, fresh attitude

and, uh, the fact that,

but you don't need to start your new life waiting on people.

- No, I do.

I have to build myself up from the bottom.

It's the only way I can be totally independent.

- Okay.

- Ms. Emma Thorndyke, on behalf

of the lost and found department at Rome Airport,

I wish to present your missing luggage.

- Ah. - You can throw it out.

I don't need it anymore.

[suspenseful playful music]

- [Group] What?

- I'm starting fresh.

No material things.

- Fine, it's your bag, go do with it what you will.

My hands are clean.

- Oh, wait!

Wait!

[Emma sighs]

Here take this.

[gentle music]

Here, take it.

- [Howard] Emma, that is way too big a tip.

- No, Dad, just stay out of it, please.

I told you I'd pay you back.

- I don't need your money.

I don't need anything from you.

- Can you- - Yeah, what?

Okay.

- What is your problem?

- No more problems.

I did my duty.

You've got your suitcase, your money, your father,

and I'm sure you will connect with your tennis player

and live happily ever after.

- Well, Mr. Smart Guy, I'll have you know

that my plans have changed.

But even if they hadn't,

why does my happiness make you so angry?

- I'm not angry.

I'm just disappointed.

- About what?

- I thought you were Cinderella.

- No, I thought I was Cinderella,

you thought I was nuts.

- Not nuts, I just believed

you were this poor, lost girl alone,

and in need of assistance, and I just tried to help.

- And you did.

I just wanted to say thank you.

- I don't need your charity.

- But it's not charity, it's reimbursement

[Alex sighs]

for dinner, groceries, gas money.

- I have to go.

You have your life and I have mine.

- What is that suppose to mean?

- Emma, listen to me very carefully,

we come from two different worlds,

and I just don't fit into yours.

- So was that Alex?

Another jerk?

- No, he's great.

I blew it.

I think I'm ready to go home now.

- Good.

I can get us on a flight first thing tomorrow.

- Okay.

- Hey, before we go,

I wanna discuss this tomato business of yours some more.

- No, forget it, it was just silly idea.

- No, no, it wasn't a silly idea.

I just tried the spread, it's got real potential.

- You really think so?

You're not just saying it because it's me?

- No.

You know me when it comes to investments

I put personal matters aside, and this is a good one.

My little financial genius.

- Don't try to cheer me up.

- [laughs] It's a father's duty.

- Yes, okay.

[insects chirping]

[dog barking]

- Hey.

[speaking in foreign language]

- So I decided to quit my job at the airport.

I think I'd be more useful here with you full-time.

I can get rid of my place in town,

save money there, and. [speaks in foreign language]

- [speaks in foreign language] Emma?

- Yes, where is Emma?

- I found her suitcase and she's fending for herself now.

It's, uh, over.

- But she liked you, Alex, a lot.

- Yes, and you liked her.

Don't deny it, we saw you two together.

- I don't wanna talk about Emma anymore.

She was not who I thought she was.

- How so?

- I thought she was poor.

Turns out she's rich.

- And you're going to hold that against her?

- She didn't lie to you.

Remember she told us, "She was wealthy."

- I know, but I didn't believe her.

- And you're mad because she told you the truth.

- She, she also said, "That she felt like Cinderella."

- Huh, so what's wrong with that Alex?

Most women want to be Cinderella.

- Yes, but Cinderella was poor, beaten down.

She wasn't wealthy, upper class citizen.

- Si, she was.

In the beginning Cinderella was just Ella,

the daughter of a very wealthy family.

Then her father remarried,

but when he died, her stepmother and her sisters

took over the estate and turned Ella to a Cinderella

to be their servant girl.

- Are you sure the story was like that?

- Then the fairy godmother comes, and grants the wishes,

uh, she goes to the ball, meets the prince.

- Si, Papa, I know the rest of the story,

but I'm no prince.

- You are prince as far as we are concerned.

- And if she is smart, she'll see that too.

- I'm going to bed.

[speaks in foreign language]

- And if you're smart, you'll make her see it.

[speaks in foreign language]

[playful music] [Martina grunts]

- Yep, we'll get all the details worked out

when I'm back in California.

Yeah, get contracts drawn up immediately.

Huh?

Yeah, I am looking forward

to partnering with you as well, Roberto.

Ciao.

Yeah, have a nice day, sir.

- And make sure to try the tomato spread,

it is so delicious.

- Emma, we got like 10 minutes max

if we're gonna make that flight.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm already packed.

I just need like one more marocchino,

- What?

- She's really got the hang of this.

Talented girl.

- [Howard] Yeah.

I've always know that.

- I can't believe I am gonna say this

but I think I'm actually gonna miss here.

- Oh, guess what?

I think I'm gonna miss you.

- Oh.

- Yeah, you're really the first woman

I've been able to talk to in a long, long time.

- You know, Howard, I feel the same about you.

I mean, you've actually restored my faith in men.

- Well, that's good.

[Diana laughs]

Hope we can get together again sometime soon.

- Well, you know where to find me.

- I do, and believe me, I'll be back for business

and pleasure too.

- I look forward to that.

- Don't work too hard.

Hey, time's a wasting, young lady.

- What are you both smiling about?

- Your father just got off the phone with Mr. Thorndyke.

- Your girlfriend came through with all of her promises.

She talked to her father

about our tomatoes and Martini's spread,

and he wants to partner with us.

You know she's willing to make a big investment.

- We are back in business!

- Yes!

- That's great, but as I told you,

Emma's not my girlfriend so.

- Well, I guess that's for the best

since she's leaving Italy

at 11:45 on flight 490 with her father.

Uh, they're going back to America.

- And what about Nick Milano, the guy she was in love with?

- Oh, yes, he lost that match.

- Yeah, her father said, "That she had fallen for someone

but, uh, then he rejected her."

- Who could be so foolish?

She's so great.

She's so smart.

She's so young.

She's so pretty.

She's- - I gotta go!

- Yes, you do!

- Go get her, Son!

Run!

Alex, run!

[man singing in foreign language]

- Thanks, man.

Grazie.

[man singing in foreign language]

Go on.

[man singing in foreign language]

[car horn honking]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

[man singing in foreign language]

- Thank you.

- And you can check if Alex Malvesi is working here today?

- Malvesi. - I'd like to say goodbye.

- Sure.

- He's not here.

His name is not listed in the directory either.

[gentle melancholic music]

I believe he no longer works here.

- Oh, okay.

- Hey, uh, I'm sure I can get us on a later flight.

- No, no, no, let's just get on the plane.

- You got it.

Okay. - Here you are.

- Now look with the luggage, please make doubly certain

it gets on the right plane.

We had an issue coming out.

All right, good.

And is the gate on there?

Good. - Yeah.

- We go to the lounge, good?

- Have a nice day. - Thank you.

[suspenseful music] [horn honking]

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

[phone ringing]

- Hello.

- Yeah, Russell, I need two favors from you right now.

You owe me.

Make it happen.

- Sure, yeah.

[phone beeping]

Go.

[Alex speaking in foreign language]

- [Alex] Will Ms. Emma Thorndyke,

please make her way to the lost and found desk.

There is a lost item that needs immediate identification.

- What?

[Emma laughs]

You gotta be kidding? - Excuse me.

- What again?

- A young man has misplaced his heart

and believes that Emma Thorndyke

is currently in possession of it!

We have it on good authority- - Come on.

- That Ms. Thorndyke may have in deed stolen his heart.

- Come on!

- Not that he needs it back.

He just wants to make sure he lost it.

Come back in lost in found

with all my heart safe and sound because he,

because you love her.

[gentle music]

- You know you could have just called me directly,

you've got my number.

- Yes, but where's the fun in that.

I've behaved like an idiot.

[gentle music]

So it takes an idiotic gesture like this

to hopefully set things right.

- Don't you know being in love

means you never have to say you're an idiot.

- She's got a point.

- I'm really sorry

it took me so long to come to my senses.

- I'm sorry for the way I treated you.

And you were right I was caught up in a fairy tale,

and I couldn't see that Mr. Right

was in front of me the whole time.

- Speaking of fairy tales there is one last thing.

You left this behind when you stayed at my parents' house.

- [Emma] Did I really?

- No, I actually had Russell grab your suitcase

from the plane and pull it out.

[Emma laughs]

Grazie.

[gentle romantic music]

[Emma laughs]

- Wow, how fitting.

[group clapping]

- I was lost until I found you.

- We found each other.

[upbeat music]

[glasses clang]

- I don't know how to thank you enough, Howard.

[Howard laughs]

- He's cute.

[group chattering]

- My best first man here, Russell

wanted to meet your friend.

- Oh, this is Jenny.

Jenny's in PR.

- Hello. - Hello, Jenny.

So, uh, are all your relationships, uh, public

or do you some private ones as well.

- Well, that depends on the clientele. [laughs]

- Anyway we're practically family now.

- And perhaps there's gonna be a wedding very soon or two.

- Oh, um, we're just taking it one day at a time.

- Yeah, but, uh, taking a place around the corner

from the Ristretto E Corretto is a pretty big first step.

- No regrets?

- Oh, no.

[Martina laughs]

Very sweet.

- So what do you do, Russell?

- Oh, I'm like the wizard of Italy,

I'll make your dreams come true.

- Oh, tell me more.

- Oh, oh, I love you, Mr. Malvesi.

- And I love you Ms. Thorndyke

soon to be Mrs. Thorndyke-Malvesi or Malvesi-Thorndyke.

Or should I take your last name?

- We'll, figure it out.

[group chattering]

- [Group] Salute!
