Rip-Fixes-Sync
by VaVooM
2
00:00:33,634 --> 00:00:37,436
Erica? I have a grande
non-fat mocha for Erica?
3
00:00:41,509 --> 00:00:43,942
It's actually Eric.
4
00:00:43,978 --> 00:00:46,812
Sorry. Have a great day!
5
00:00:49,717 --> 00:00:51,695
Do you think that they know
that we do that on purpose?
6
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,436
You do that on purpose.
7
00:00:53,437 --> 00:00:55,715
And if you weren't my best friend,
I would've fired you by now.
8
00:00:55,739 --> 00:00:59,525
Please, you love it, Billy.
Er, Beckham... Becca!
9
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,127
- Very funny.
- OK, I'm gonna be late.
10
00:01:02,163 --> 00:01:03,941
- I wish you were coming with me.
- Me too.
11
00:01:03,999 --> 00:01:06,760
This place isn't gonna run itself.
You can tell me all about it after.
12
00:01:07,445 --> 00:01:09,001
Here comes the nerves.
13
00:01:09,036 --> 00:01:12,571
- You'll be great. Good luck!
- Thank you!
14
00:01:40,634 --> 00:01:43,035
Cassie, hi.
15
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:45,070
Piper, hi! I'm so glad
that you're here.
16
00:01:45,106 --> 00:01:46,907
What kind of publicist would I be
17
00:01:46,908 --> 00:01:49,513
if I wasn't at my client's
very first book signing?
18
00:01:49,743 --> 00:01:51,743
- Are you excited?
- Yeah...
19
00:01:51,779 --> 00:01:54,279
Excited, nervous,
tempted to run and hide.
20
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:57,783
Don't be silly. Your book is amazing!
I read it twice already.
21
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,618
Not even my mom
has read it twice.
22
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,337
It's so relatable.
23
00:02:01,338 --> 00:02:04,634
You put into writing everything my
girlfriends and I secretly talk about.
24
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:07,025
Well, it is based
on my real break-up.
25
00:02:07,061 --> 00:02:10,395
I know! It's like you got
your heart broken just for us.
26
00:02:10,431 --> 00:02:12,197
And all the things
you did to move on.
27
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:15,067
I mean, who goes skydiving
to get over a heartbreak?
28
00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:17,603
Just doing my part.
29
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:21,707
It's going to be really great to
have a familiar face here today.
30
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:24,376
Let's get inside.
This "familiar face" is freezing.
31
00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:31,416
- So are you ready?
- Define ready.
32
00:02:31,452 --> 00:02:34,753
Just relax and be yourself.
This will be fun.
33
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:37,590
OK, but you're sure that I won't
have to read or answer questions?
34
00:02:37,625 --> 00:02:38,735
Because I really hate speaking
in public.
35
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,460
Which is why you'll only be
signing copies of your book...
36
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:43,395
- ... until Elliot turns up.
- Elliot?
37
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:45,731
Somersby.
38
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:47,900
Of the "Dread Monarch Saga".
39
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:51,970
- Right, the dragon guy.
- The best-selling dragon guy.
40
00:02:52,006 --> 00:02:53,906
I used the fact
that he's one of our authors
41
00:02:53,941 --> 00:02:55,974
to get you displayed
next to him.
42
00:02:56,010 --> 00:02:58,610
I think the dragon ate
part of my display.
43
00:02:58,646 --> 00:03:00,946
Well, if you're not happy
with it, we can move it.
44
00:03:00,981 --> 00:03:02,214
Oh no! Are you kidding me?
45
00:03:02,215 --> 00:03:05,517
My book is on display in a real
bookstore. I think this is fantastic!
46
00:03:06,284 --> 00:03:07,486
Well, it's just the beginning.
47
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:10,422
Come on, let's get you set up.
48
00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:22,467
- Hi! Ms. Winslett?
- Hi!
49
00:03:22,503 --> 00:03:25,337
I really loved your book.
50
00:03:28,475 --> 00:03:31,610
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
51
00:03:31,645 --> 00:03:35,514
- Mom, hi! You came!
- I wouldn't miss it.
52
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:36,833
You're not missing much.
53
00:03:36,834 --> 00:03:40,485
This takes me back
to my very first book signing.
54
00:03:40,521 --> 00:03:42,654
I'm pretty sure you never had
a crowd this small.
55
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:46,525
It was a different time.
People read more books then.
56
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,694
It's madness out there.
57
00:03:48,729 --> 00:03:50,562
Mom, this is my publicist Piper.
58
00:03:50,598 --> 00:03:52,631
Hold up.
59
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:55,801
Your mother is Jeannine Jordan?!
60
00:03:55,836 --> 00:03:58,570
But your name is...
My maiden name is Jordan.
61
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:05,010
I have read all your novels!
Sorry.
62
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:06,646
May I get a picture?
63
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:10,549
Only if you don't mind taking a picture
of me with my very talented daughter.
64
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:14,553
Of course.
65
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:19,191
This will look great
on my website.
66
00:04:19,226 --> 00:04:20,670
That would be
great press for Cassie.
67
00:04:20,694 --> 00:04:23,954
You never told me your mother
was an award-winning author.
68
00:04:23,989 --> 00:04:25,564
When people hear about this...
69
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:28,200
I don't really want
to throw that around.
70
00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:30,736
My daughter wants to launch
her career all on her own.
71
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,272
Which I fully support.
72
00:04:33,307 --> 00:04:34,573
Don't worry, honey.
73
00:04:34,574 --> 00:04:36,501
I'll just show the picture
to my friends at hot yoga.
74
00:04:36,525 --> 00:04:38,010
Make sure they buy the book.
75
00:04:40,214 --> 00:04:42,748
That must be Elliot.
Shall we head over.
76
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:44,850
What, and leave all my fans?
77
00:04:44,885 --> 00:04:47,352
Come on.
78
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,625
Who's Elliot?
79
00:04:53,661 --> 00:04:56,261
- The Dragon writer.
- Welcome, everyone.
80
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:03,101
We all love his amazing,
"Dread Monarch Saga",
81
00:05:03,137 --> 00:05:06,438
so it is both a pleasure
and an honour
82
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:09,975
to welcome the one,
the only Elliot Somersby.
83
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,144
Thank you.
84
00:05:12,968 --> 00:05:14,479
Is it always like this?
85
00:05:14,515 --> 00:05:16,982
Pretty much.
I'll introduce you later.
86
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:21,253
Thanks very much and thank you
for buying my little dragon saga.
87
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:26,325
- Is that for me?
- Yeah.
88
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,928
Thanks, but I'm OK
with my bottle of water.
89
00:05:29,963 --> 00:05:31,963
He's really laying
90
00:05:31,999 --> 00:05:34,299
the "aw shucks" routine on
pretty thick, don't you think?
91
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:37,052
Don't know if he can write, but
he can certainly work a crowd.
92
00:05:37,087 --> 00:05:41,406
Today, I would like to read a passage
from my second chronicling
93
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:45,977
of my "Dread Monarch Saga",
"Dragon's Lair".
94
00:05:47,715 --> 00:05:50,615
"The wounded dragon
flew through the air
95
00:05:50,651 --> 00:05:53,352
"for what might be
one last time.
96
00:05:53,387 --> 00:05:55,320
"Klar-Al stroked its brow,
97
00:05:55,356 --> 00:05:57,856
"clung to its neck,
and whispered,
98
00:05:57,891 --> 00:06:00,492
You are my Eternal Warrior".
99
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:01,611
"Klar-Al"?
100
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:05,197
Princess of the Nine Kingdoms
and heir to the Crystal Scepter.
101
00:06:05,232 --> 00:06:07,299
- The what?
- You haven't read them?!
102
00:06:07,334 --> 00:06:09,434
Sorry.
103
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:11,269
"And so I shall forever be".
104
00:06:11,305 --> 00:06:13,605
"the winged creature replied
with a great sigh,
105
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,041
"its valiant spirit
ascending through the veil
106
00:06:16,076 --> 00:06:18,477
"from which there is no return,
107
00:06:18,512 --> 00:06:22,614
"not even for a dragon
as noble as he".
108
00:06:24,138 --> 00:06:26,651
Thank you all so much.
109
00:06:27,965 --> 00:06:30,763
You know, Mom, it's really sweet
of Piper to introduce us,
110
00:06:30,798 --> 00:06:32,956
but we should just go.
This line's gonna take forever.
111
00:06:32,991 --> 00:06:34,559
The writing isn't bad.
112
00:06:34,595 --> 00:06:36,835
It's a book about dragons,
how hard can it be to write?
113
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,967
We should probably leave.
114
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:44,536
Elliot's just gonna
take a short break.
115
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:47,172
- We really should go.
- Don't be silly.
116
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:50,976
- I thought I recognized you!
- You recognized me?
117
00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:54,246
- Elliot, this is...
- I am such a huge fan.
118
00:06:54,281 --> 00:06:55,995
I don't know if you remember me.
119
00:06:55,996 --> 00:06:58,817
I was in your Freshman Lit
class in Princeton.
120
00:06:58,852 --> 00:07:02,053
Between your novels and your
classes, you single-handedly
121
00:07:02,089 --> 00:07:05,275
inspired me to change my major
from business to creative writing.
122
00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:07,405
I'm really sorry about that.
123
00:07:08,128 --> 00:07:11,229
I can't believe the Jeannine
Jordan is at one my events.
124
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,565
Well, no, actually,
I'm here for my daughter,
125
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,535
but I am glad I got
to see your reading.
126
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:19,871
- I'm the daughter. Hi.
- Hi. I'm the dragon writer.
127
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:22,174
- You heard me?
- It's OK.
128
00:07:22,209 --> 00:07:24,075
You know, writing dragons is easy;
129
00:07:24,111 --> 00:07:25,755
it's the elves that give me
the most trouble.
130
00:07:25,779 --> 00:07:27,579
I'm so sorry, Mr. Somersby.
131
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:30,115
Please call me Elliot.
All my critics do.
132
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:32,184
I shouldn't have said anything.
133
00:07:32,219 --> 00:07:34,186
You know, I know nothing
about dragons,
134
00:07:34,221 --> 00:07:36,354
and I'm sure writing about them
is very challenging.
135
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:38,857
It's OK. I appreciate
your honesty.
136
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:41,218
And thank you so much
for bringing your mom.
137
00:07:41,219 --> 00:07:43,261
Can I sign a copy
for both of you?
138
00:07:43,297 --> 00:07:46,965
She's actually here
for my book signing.
139
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,134
Elliot Somersby,
this is Cassie Winslett.
140
00:07:49,169 --> 00:07:52,604
She's one of MacDonner Press'
new authors.
141
00:07:55,250 --> 00:07:56,308
So embarrassed.
142
00:07:56,343 --> 00:07:59,544
Cassie, it's nice to meet you.
143
00:07:59,580 --> 00:08:01,880
Welcome to
the MacDonner Press family.
144
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:05,383
I mean, I could sign a copy
of my book for you if you want.
145
00:08:05,419 --> 00:08:07,403
I deserve that.
146
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:10,889
Sorry to interrupt, but
this crowd is a little restless.
147
00:08:10,924 --> 00:08:14,826
Great. Such a pleasure
to see you again.
148
00:08:14,862 --> 00:08:17,796
- Well, thank you.
- Cassie, I'm gonna read this.
149
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:19,898
- You don't have to.
- No, I want to.
150
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,267
It was nice meeting you,
new writer Cassie.
151
00:08:24,271 --> 00:08:26,805
Isn't he great?
He's a major talent.
152
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,408
Sorry, I have to take this.
153
00:08:30,444 --> 00:08:34,179
How about I treat you
to a celebratory latte?
154
00:08:43,891 --> 00:08:48,793
OK, all I have heard about is this
Elliot guy and his book signing.
155
00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:51,363
I want to hear about my
brilliant best friend's.
156
00:08:51,398 --> 00:08:54,499
- Tell me, how did it go?
- It didn't really "go".
157
00:08:54,535 --> 00:08:57,135
- Couldn't have been that bad.
- Let's just say I've signed
158
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:00,005
more coffee cups here
in an hour than books there.
159
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,080
OK, I think you're being modest.
Is she, Jeannine?
160
00:09:03,644 --> 00:09:06,144
He even won her over.
She's the toughest critic I know.
161
00:09:06,179 --> 00:09:08,046
Do you remember
my first grade book report?
162
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,664
I remember.
163
00:09:09,665 --> 00:09:11,694
She made me do four revisions,
and it was a 30 page book...
164
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:13,652
30 page book on butterflies!
165
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:17,022
And to cheer you up, I made you
a vanilla bean ice cream float...
166
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:18,742
With the cookie crumbles?
167
00:09:18,743 --> 00:09:22,956
- I think that was the start of my career.
- Writing is rewriting.
168
00:09:22,991 --> 00:09:26,363
My Princeton students pay a lot
for that advice.
169
00:09:26,934 --> 00:09:30,702
What? You think I can't read
and hear you at the same time?
170
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:34,791
And to answer your question, Cassie
had a small but supportive crowd.
171
00:09:34,826 --> 00:09:37,327
And by that, she means her
and my publicist, Piper.
172
00:09:37,362 --> 00:09:42,080
You haven't done any publicity,
you refuse to throw my name around.
173
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:43,982
Because I don't want
everyone to know me
174
00:09:44,017 --> 00:09:46,484
as "PEN/Faulkner Award-winning
Jeannine Jordan's daughter".
175
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,386
I want to make my own name
for myself.
176
00:09:48,422 --> 00:09:51,825
And I respect that, but if no one
knows that you've written a book,
177
00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:54,092
you're not gonna be known
as anything.
178
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:56,661
Now, take Elliot here...
179
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:58,530
"Elliot".
They're on a first-name basis.
180
00:09:58,565 --> 00:10:01,499
His performance made me
interested in reading a story
181
00:10:01,535 --> 00:10:04,903
about a talking dragon.
And I'm enjoying it.
182
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:06,705
So why should that matter to me?
183
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:08,840
Because I would never have
picked up a fantasy book
184
00:10:08,875 --> 00:10:10,842
and now I can't put it down.
185
00:10:10,877 --> 00:10:13,411
Sweetheart, you could have
the same effect on people.
186
00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:16,635
It's Piper, I need to take this.
Just excuse me.
187
00:10:17,647 --> 00:10:18,833
Piper, hey.
188
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:21,119
Is there really a talking dragon?
189
00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:23,622
Well, technically, it's telepathic.
190
00:10:23,657 --> 00:10:26,024
- Gotcha.
- OK, I'll see you then.
191
00:10:29,062 --> 00:10:33,064
So my book editor wants to meet me;
what do you think that means?
192
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:35,300
Well, if it's lunch,
that's a good thing.
193
00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:37,435
What if it's at their office?
194
00:10:41,008 --> 00:10:43,408
- Who wants more lattes?
- With cookie crumbles?
195
00:10:43,443 --> 00:10:45,610
- Coming up.
- OK.
196
00:11:07,768 --> 00:11:09,768
Hi, I'm Cassandra Winslett.
197
00:11:09,803 --> 00:11:11,736
I have a 10 o'clock
appointment with Gwendolyn.
198
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:14,005
Go right in,
they're expecting you.
199
00:11:14,041 --> 00:11:16,041
"They"?
200
00:11:17,978 --> 00:11:20,512
Cassie!
Thank you for coming in.
201
00:11:20,547 --> 00:11:22,247
You know Piper and Julian...
202
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,654
We didn't officially meet,
but nice to see you again.
203
00:11:24,689 --> 00:11:27,485
- Here he is, Elliot.
- Hello again.
204
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:29,521
- Hi.
- Did you finish my book yet?
205
00:11:29,556 --> 00:11:31,289
I have encyclopaedias
that are smaller.
206
00:11:31,324 --> 00:11:33,625
- Did you finish mine?
- I did, actually, yeah.
207
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:34,726
You're kidding?
208
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:37,885
No. It's alright, you could make it up
to me by reading mine on the book tour.
209
00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:40,298
What book tour?
210
00:11:40,333 --> 00:11:43,838
Piper and Julian told me how well
you two hit it off at the reading.
211
00:11:43,873 --> 00:11:45,036
You had great chemistry.
212
00:11:45,072 --> 00:11:47,706
- We barely spoke.
- I felt it, too.
213
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:51,943
We recently had success pairing new
writers with our established authors.
214
00:11:51,978 --> 00:11:53,945
And as you may have noticed,
215
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:56,214
Elliot tends to draw a crowd
wherever he goes.
216
00:11:56,249 --> 00:12:00,151
Sure, but my book is
a romantic comedy memoir
217
00:12:00,187 --> 00:12:02,187
about getting over a breakup,
and Elliot writes...
218
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:05,690
...nerd novels. I'm sorry.
219
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:08,493
Successful nerd novels.
220
00:12:08,528 --> 00:12:10,061
Still, I don't see the connection.
221
00:12:10,097 --> 00:12:11,547
Here's the thing, Cassie.
222
00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:15,654
You need the exposure,
especially with females 18 to 35.
223
00:12:15,689 --> 00:12:18,775
That's a large, loyal market
that still buys books,
224
00:12:18,810 --> 00:12:19,982
then blogs and tweets about them.
225
00:12:20,006 --> 00:12:23,167
And they happen to love
Elliot's novels.
226
00:12:23,202 --> 00:12:24,042
I saw.
227
00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:26,311
Practically passed out
when he put on his glasses.
228
00:12:26,346 --> 00:12:28,680
You know, I'm sorry, but do you
even need those glasses
229
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,555
- or are they the fake kind?
- I'll never tell.
230
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:32,383
So much chemistry.
231
00:12:32,419 --> 00:12:33,669
It's palpable.
232
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,398
This is why we want
you two on tour together.
233
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:41,526
Me on a book tour.
OK, well, how long is the tour?
234
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:45,196
It's a week trial run. Just a
few Northeastern college towns.
235
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:47,899
And what does a trial run mean?
236
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:51,169
Here's the thing...
your book just came out,
237
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:53,938
and our early projections
show sluggish sales,
238
00:12:53,974 --> 00:12:56,174
which is making it hard
to get reviewers to read it.
239
00:12:56,209 --> 00:12:58,576
But these things
take time, right?
240
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:00,512
Slow roll-outs are a thing of the past.
241
00:13:00,547 --> 00:13:03,581
Name recognition sells.
So the hope is that by teaming
242
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:06,584
you with our star author,
we'll see sales increase.
243
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,520
And if not?
244
00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:12,957
Then, unfortunately, we'll have
to re-evaluate our partnership.
245
00:13:12,993 --> 00:13:15,627
- No pressure, right?
- I'm sorry.
246
00:13:15,662 --> 00:13:18,229
It's tough for
new writers out there.
247
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:20,932
But we love your book and
we see a lot of promise in you.
248
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:23,452
What did you want me to do on tour?
249
00:13:23,453 --> 00:13:26,538
I mean, aside from
winning Elliot's fan base.
250
00:13:26,573 --> 00:13:30,346
Similar to the signings
yesterday, but with readings.
251
00:13:30,381 --> 00:13:32,076
Readings?
252
00:13:32,112 --> 00:13:34,579
I just... I really hate
public speaking,
253
00:13:34,614 --> 00:13:38,449
so what if I just sign the books
and let Elliot do the talking?
254
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:41,419
Well, there's also interviews
and Q and A's...
255
00:13:41,454 --> 00:13:43,588
Maybe we could
come up with something
256
00:13:43,623 --> 00:13:45,490
that doesn't end with me
breaking out in hives
257
00:13:45,525 --> 00:13:47,458
or freezing on stage.
258
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:50,461
It's just not very good
for sales.
259
00:13:50,497 --> 00:13:52,764
Well, I was told that
your mother was at the reading.
260
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,349
She's a big draw.
261
00:13:54,350 --> 00:13:57,133
Maybe you'd be more comfortable
doing interviews with her?
262
00:13:57,168 --> 00:13:58,670
The press would eat it up.
263
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:03,474
This has been a great meeting.
264
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:07,177
Just really, you've given me
a lot to think about.
265
00:14:07,212 --> 00:14:09,047
Thank you.
266
00:14:11,451 --> 00:14:14,185
I wasn't expecting that reaction.
267
00:14:14,221 --> 00:14:16,454
- Cassie!
- Yeah.
268
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:18,301
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean
to run out like that.
269
00:14:18,325 --> 00:14:20,825
I'm very appreciative
of everything
270
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:22,211
...that you're trying to do for me.
271
00:14:22,212 --> 00:14:24,842
I can imagine how overwhelming
this all seems,
272
00:14:24,877 --> 00:14:26,164
but we have to do something big
273
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,099
to get people to read
your wonderful book.
274
00:14:28,134 --> 00:14:29,767
Otherwise...
275
00:14:29,803 --> 00:14:31,723
I'm just another
wannabe writer in a coffee shop.
276
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:53,224
- This should warm you up.
- Thanks, Becca.
277
00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,226
What's going on with you?
278
00:14:55,262 --> 00:14:57,495
Nothing, why?
279
00:14:57,530 --> 00:15:00,498
You just hung the sign
upside-down.
280
00:15:00,533 --> 00:15:01,817
I'm so sorry.
281
00:15:01,818 --> 00:15:05,303
And I heard you call a customer
by his correct name earlier.
282
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:07,238
I couldn't think
of a funny name.
283
00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:11,053
For Joe? That's a softball name.
Everything rhymes with it.
284
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:14,412
You know, I just...
I have a lot of my mind.
285
00:15:14,447 --> 00:15:15,713
The book?
286
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:22,204
What are you doing here?
287
00:15:22,205 --> 00:15:26,391
Cassie! Please excuse my rude
barista. How can we help you?
288
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:28,760
I actually came
to talk to the rude barista.
289
00:15:28,795 --> 00:15:30,420
This is the dragon writer.
290
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:34,532
- You didn't say he was cute.
- Maybe I don't think he's cute.
291
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:37,669
Order anything you want.
It's on us.
292
00:15:42,475 --> 00:15:44,375
I like her.
Can she do that?
293
00:15:44,411 --> 00:15:47,245
That's my roommate, Becca.
She owns the place, so yeah.
294
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,280
Look, I just wanted to come by
295
00:15:49,316 --> 00:15:51,227
and apologize for what happened
today at MacDonner Press.
296
00:15:51,251 --> 00:15:54,916
- I did feel a little ambushed.
- Yeah, I could tell.
297
00:15:54,951 --> 00:15:57,800
I'm sorry, I thought they would have
given you a heads-up about the tour.
298
00:15:57,824 --> 00:15:59,891
I appreciate the apology,
299
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:01,804
but you didn't have to come
all the way down here to deliver it.
300
00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:06,397
Well, I also have
an ulterior motive.
301
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:07,966
I want you on this tour.
302
00:16:08,001 --> 00:16:11,135
You want me
to be your opening act?
303
00:16:11,171 --> 00:16:13,738
Opening act, it's...
You're funny.
304
00:16:13,773 --> 00:16:15,707
Listen, I'm actually
on the clock,
305
00:16:15,742 --> 00:16:17,486
so if you could just make it fast,
whatever you have to say.
306
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:19,027
As a barista?
307
00:16:19,028 --> 00:16:23,081
Not all of us were bestsellers by
age 27, so some of us have to work.
308
00:16:23,116 --> 00:16:26,050
- You googled me.
- And you're stalking me.
309
00:16:26,086 --> 00:16:28,288
How did you find me, by the way?
310
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:31,723
Is tracking
one of your dragon powers?
311
00:16:31,758 --> 00:16:33,709
Yeah. That and I asked Piper.
312
00:16:34,536 --> 00:16:37,628
Look, I think you that you have
a fresh approach to storytelling.
313
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:39,564
That's why I requested you
to be on the tour.
314
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:43,234
Listen, the tour is
an incredible opportunity...
315
00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:46,471
- But?
- Nobody wants to hear from me.
316
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:48,940
The moment anyone finds out
who my mom is,
317
00:16:48,975 --> 00:16:50,987
I cease to exist as a person
and much less a writer.
318
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:53,077
And I mean, come on, admit it,
319
00:16:53,113 --> 00:16:54,979
that's why you wanted
to tour with me, right?
320
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:56,914
To get closer
to your literary hero?
321
00:16:56,950 --> 00:17:01,119
OK, I admit that the thought
might have crossed my mind,
322
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:03,488
but that's before I read
your book and realized
323
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:05,423
what a witty, original writer you are,
324
00:17:05,424 --> 00:17:08,826
not just a barista who is
Jeannine Jordan's daughter.
325
00:17:08,862 --> 00:17:11,829
Well, maybe I am a witty,
original barista, too.
326
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:14,265
I imagine you're
a lot more than that.
327
00:17:15,969 --> 00:17:20,671
Listen, this is where
I'm gonna be tonight at 7.
328
00:17:22,342 --> 00:17:25,343
We're going over the details
on the tour.
329
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:26,878
I hope I see you there.
330
00:17:41,995 --> 00:17:44,128
- I don't think she's coming.
- She'll be here.
331
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:47,698
Give her 5 minutes.
332
00:17:50,203 --> 00:17:52,537
See? What did I tell you?
333
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,672
Listen, I am so sorry
that I'm late.
334
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:56,685
I would actually blame
the train, but it's my fault.
335
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:59,010
I almost let my nerves
get the best of me.
336
00:17:59,045 --> 00:18:00,895
All my pleading worked then?
337
00:18:00,896 --> 00:18:04,382
It's slow season at the coffee shop,
so the timing just worked out.
338
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:06,918
Coffee shops have slow seasons?
339
00:18:06,953 --> 00:18:09,331
Can't tell you how excited we are
for this awesome book tour!
340
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:11,889
- It's going to be epic.
- It's going to be epic.
341
00:18:11,925 --> 00:18:15,193
- Don't forget "awesome".
- It's just a quick tour.
342
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:18,329
- Here, Albany, Boston and Buffalo.
- They love you in Buffalo.
343
00:18:18,364 --> 00:18:20,264
- Me?
- No, Elliot.
344
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:21,133
Right.
345
00:18:21,134 --> 00:18:23,397
Cassie, if you need anything,
I'll be your point person.
346
00:18:23,398 --> 00:18:25,421
So you give me a call,
it doesn't matter the time.
347
00:18:25,422 --> 00:18:27,405
We reserved a rental car.
348
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,518
We're driving? I thought
you were a best-selling author.
349
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:31,709
I have a dog,
and she prefers to drive.
350
00:18:31,744 --> 00:18:34,112
- Your dog knows how to drive?
- She's a very clever dog.
351
00:18:34,147 --> 00:18:37,239
- Then why can't she fly?
- If you would prefer to fly,
352
00:18:37,274 --> 00:18:39,050
we can make arrangements
or get you a driver.
353
00:18:39,085 --> 00:18:41,385
I don't want to make anything
overly complicated.
354
00:18:41,421 --> 00:18:44,288
Great! Then you can ride with me.
I'd enjoy the company.
355
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:47,091
- What about your dog?
- She's a lousy conversationalist.
356
00:18:47,127 --> 00:18:49,611
I love it! This is great PR.
357
00:18:49,612 --> 00:18:51,987
Plus the two of you will have a chance
to get to know one another
358
00:18:51,988 --> 00:18:54,807
and trade writing tips or whatever.
359
00:18:54,842 --> 00:18:56,868
OK, I have one condition.
360
00:18:56,903 --> 00:18:59,883
I already told them that your mom's
not coming along as a wingman.
361
00:18:59,918 --> 00:19:01,772
Make that two conditions.
362
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:05,276
What he just said
and I control the driving music.
363
00:19:05,311 --> 00:19:09,313
OK, but I get to pick
the road snacks.
364
00:19:09,349 --> 00:19:12,750
Well, Mr. Somersby, looks like
we have ourselves a deal.
365
00:19:12,785 --> 00:19:15,620
- When do we start?
- Monday.
366
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:17,989
Monday as in two days
from now Monday?
367
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:20,825
We're hoping to get ahead
of any potential snowstorm.
368
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:23,327
It'll go fast. Before you know it,
you'll both be back
369
00:19:23,363 --> 00:19:24,730
and working on your next books!
370
00:19:24,731 --> 00:19:28,499
Elliot, people are already asking
about that third book.
371
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:32,270
Yeah, the third book.
It's the big finale.
372
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:36,522
And, Elliot,
I also have you down for...
373
00:19:36,557 --> 00:19:40,845
Blue fine-points for signing,
breath mints,
374
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,248
room temperature water,
extra blankets for your room,
375
00:19:44,284 --> 00:19:46,484
concierge service.
Anything else?
376
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,853
No, that's fine.
Thank you.
377
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:50,588
What about you, Cassie?
What do you need?
378
00:19:50,623 --> 00:19:55,092
- M and M's. No red ones.
- "M and M's, no red ones".
379
00:19:55,128 --> 00:19:57,428
I think that she's kidding.
380
00:19:57,463 --> 00:20:01,413
- I don't understand.
- Cassie thinks that I'm a diva.
381
00:20:01,448 --> 00:20:03,288
- I didn't say that.
- But you thought it.
382
00:20:03,323 --> 00:20:05,036
But I didn't say it.
383
00:20:05,171 --> 00:20:07,505
I can already tell this tour
is gonna be a success.
384
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:10,374
- I'm tweeting out the dates now.
- It is going to be...
385
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:11,943
- Awesome.
- Epic.
386
00:20:27,527 --> 00:20:29,527
Do you think
that I'm overpacking?
387
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:31,862
Not at all.
388
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:34,653
I've never been on a book tour,
I don't really know what I need.
389
00:20:34,688 --> 00:20:36,834
You definitely need this.
390
00:20:36,869 --> 00:20:38,569
It'll look way better
on you than on me.
391
00:20:38,605 --> 00:20:40,238
Maybe Elliot will like it.
392
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:43,041
I'm not interested
in what Elliot likes.
393
00:20:43,276 --> 00:20:45,076
He wasn't wearing
a wedding ring.
394
00:20:45,111 --> 00:20:47,645
- I don't care.
- It would be interesting.
395
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,647
You going on tour to promote
your breakup book
396
00:20:49,682 --> 00:20:51,582
and then falling in love.
397
00:20:51,618 --> 00:20:53,417
It could be your sequel!
398
00:20:53,453 --> 00:20:55,987
I will take your sweater,
but not your sequel.
399
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:01,759
OK.
400
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:03,995
Yeah, I think this is
a two-person job.
401
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:07,732
- I just... I can't...
- Here, just...
402
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,736
- OK.
- Yes!
403
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:13,371
Alright.
404
00:21:13,406 --> 00:21:15,840
- Three.
- OK. Oh, my God! Oh no!
405
00:21:15,875 --> 00:21:17,708
We're good.
406
00:21:17,744 --> 00:21:20,077
- OK.
- Great.
407
00:21:20,113 --> 00:21:23,047
- I packed it up.
- Yeah, you did.
408
00:21:23,082 --> 00:21:25,616
OK, OK. Hey, Mom!
409
00:21:25,652 --> 00:21:27,269
Right on time.
410
00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:32,356
This reminds me of the first time
I sent you off for summer camp.
411
00:21:32,392 --> 00:21:34,292
Smile!
412
00:21:34,327 --> 00:21:35,526
Wait.
413
00:21:35,561 --> 00:21:38,229
OK.
414
00:21:38,264 --> 00:21:40,131
Very funny, but we're
gonna take another one.
415
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:44,635
I want a real picture.
This is a big deal.
416
00:21:46,475 --> 00:21:50,474
- OK, Mom, it's not prom.
- No, this is better.
417
00:21:50,510 --> 00:21:52,910
You are never gonna forget
your first tour.
418
00:21:52,945 --> 00:21:54,529
Or my only tour.
419
00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:56,506
Cassie, stop talking like that.
420
00:21:56,507 --> 00:22:00,264
This is the first day of the rest
of your long, fabulous career.
421
00:22:00,265 --> 00:22:03,621
I want you
to savour every moment.
422
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,589
Mom, you didn't have
to get me anything.
423
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:09,427
Your father gave that
to me on my first tour.
424
00:22:09,462 --> 00:22:11,329
You should have it.
425
00:22:11,987 --> 00:22:14,832
"Always write from the heart".
426
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:16,767
He'd be so proud of you.
427
00:22:16,803 --> 00:22:19,704
Thanks, Mom. I love it.
Come here.
428
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:25,543
OK, come here.
429
00:22:27,847 --> 00:22:30,981
Sorry, am I interrupting?
430
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:34,018
No. We're...
We're just saying goodbye.
431
00:22:34,053 --> 00:22:36,787
I can wait in the car,
if you want to take a minute.
432
00:22:36,823 --> 00:22:39,490
- No, it's OK.
- Alright. Let me get your bag.
433
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:42,626
Bags. You pack enough?
434
00:22:42,662 --> 00:22:43,978
I can pack more if you want.
435
00:22:43,979 --> 00:22:47,932
No, no, this'll be my...
my workout for the tour.
436
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:51,469
Well, I will miss you both.
437
00:22:51,504 --> 00:22:54,505
Take lots of pictures.
I'll put them on your fan site.
438
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:57,608
- I don't have a fan site.
- You do now.
439
00:22:57,643 --> 00:23:00,778
OK.
440
00:23:00,813 --> 00:23:02,813
- Bye!
- Bye!
441
00:23:02,849 --> 00:23:04,580
Have fun!
442
00:23:04,844 --> 00:23:07,314
Elliot, don't drive too fast.
443
00:23:20,166 --> 00:23:22,233
OK, so I need to get this
out in the open.
444
00:23:22,468 --> 00:23:24,502
Alright, I'm listening.
445
00:23:24,537 --> 00:23:28,205
I know you're the big draw
and I'm the tag-along new writer,
446
00:23:28,241 --> 00:23:30,875
but we're equals and despite
my barista experience,
447
00:23:30,910 --> 00:23:33,021
I am not here to fetch your
coffee or get you baked goods.
448
00:23:33,045 --> 00:23:36,814
Never crossed my mind to have
you fetch anything for me.
449
00:23:38,384 --> 00:23:42,019
OK. Well then, drive on.
I made a road trip playlist.
450
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,056
Is this your entourage?
451
00:23:46,092 --> 00:23:48,392
- Yeah. That's Bungee.
- Bungee?
452
00:23:48,428 --> 00:23:52,163
- Like jumping?
- She was a bouncy puppy.
453
00:23:52,198 --> 00:23:55,065
You are way less scary
than bungee jumping.
454
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:57,768
So, is she the secret
to your success?
455
00:23:57,804 --> 00:24:00,044
You guessed it. She's the
brains behind this operation.
456
00:24:00,072 --> 00:24:02,039
Well, I hope
that you get comfy, Bungee,
457
00:24:02,074 --> 00:24:05,109
because it is going to be
a long ride.
458
00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:07,411
Actually, the first leg
is pretty short.
459
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:09,380
You read the itinerary, right?
460
00:24:09,415 --> 00:24:11,916
Piper sent that
to me this morning,
461
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:13,884
but I didn't have a chance
with all the packing.
462
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,886
I hope you packed a life jacket,
463
00:24:15,922 --> 00:24:17,722
because they are throwing you
in the deep end.
464
00:24:17,757 --> 00:24:19,723
What do you mean?
465
00:24:20,587 --> 00:24:23,861
I don't want to go in the deep end.
I want to get out of the pool.
466
00:24:23,896 --> 00:24:26,597
- How can you be so calm?
- You get used to it.
467
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:29,366
Piper!
468
00:24:29,402 --> 00:24:32,102
- How are my favourite authors?
- I think I'm gonna be sick!
469
00:24:32,138 --> 00:24:34,238
You should do it now
before you get on TV.
470
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:36,474
- You're not helping.
- Just take a deep breath.
471
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:39,810
That's it.
472
00:24:39,846 --> 00:24:41,129
And another one.
473
00:24:41,130 --> 00:24:43,606
Now, when you get out
there, don't look in cameras.
474
00:24:43,607 --> 00:24:44,882
Just look at Samantha.
475
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:46,951
- Samantha?
- The host.
476
00:24:46,986 --> 00:24:49,164
She's gonna ask you about your
book. Like what inspired it?
477
00:24:49,188 --> 00:24:51,322
What's your routine? Easy stuff.
478
00:24:51,357 --> 00:24:53,390
Pretend like you're talking
to one of your friends.
479
00:24:53,426 --> 00:24:57,061
- One of my friends. Got it.
- OK.
480
00:24:57,096 --> 00:24:59,096
You're ready for us?
481
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:02,800
- OK.
- Be good, Bungee.
482
00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:04,668
How does he make everything
look so easy?
483
00:25:04,704 --> 00:25:06,804
That's Elliot.
484
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:09,406
I'll be just off camera.
Don't forget to smile.
485
00:25:09,442 --> 00:25:11,842
But not too smiley.
486
00:25:11,878 --> 00:25:14,144
Smile but not too smiley.
That makes perfect sense.
487
00:25:15,948 --> 00:25:18,082
Are you live tweeting
the interview?
488
00:25:18,117 --> 00:25:21,252
What? No, I'm just making
some arrangements for Bungee.
489
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:25,868
You're gonna be OK.
You just have to breathe.
490
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:28,526
Why does everyone keep
reminding me to breathe?
491
00:25:28,561 --> 00:25:30,639
Has anyone ever forgotten
to breathe? Is that a thing?
492
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:32,830
- It's OK.
- I'm gonna be right here
493
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:35,533
if you need me, OK?
I got your back.
494
00:25:35,568 --> 00:25:37,835
Elliot Somersby.
It's been a while.
495
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:39,503
Samatha Wallace, hi.
How are you?
496
00:25:39,539 --> 00:25:41,606
And you must be Cassandra Winslett.
497
00:25:41,607 --> 00:25:43,830
The interns cannot stop talking
about your book.
498
00:25:43,865 --> 00:25:46,477
Well, good things, I hope.
499
00:25:46,512 --> 00:25:48,212
We all have
a breakup story, am I right?
500
00:25:48,247 --> 00:25:51,591
Elliot knows the drill. We're gonna
start with a segment on his book,
501
00:25:51,626 --> 00:25:52,861
and then we'll move
on to you, Cassandra.
502
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,718
Sound good?
503
00:25:54,754 --> 00:25:58,355
- You can call me Cassie.
- Cassie it is.
504
00:26:00,629 --> 00:26:03,160
I'm just trying to be myself.
505
00:26:03,195 --> 00:26:05,129
OK. Here we go.
506
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:09,967
Welcome back. With me now
is Elliot Somersby,
507
00:26:10,002 --> 00:26:12,202
author of the best-selling
"Dread Monarch Saga",
508
00:26:12,238 --> 00:26:15,739
and an exciting new writer,
Cassie Winslett.
509
00:26:15,775 --> 00:26:18,375
Let's start with you, Elliot.
First of all, congratulations!
510
00:26:18,411 --> 00:26:20,911
Your second book is doing
even better than the first.
511
00:26:20,947 --> 00:26:22,264
How does that feel?
512
00:26:22,265 --> 00:26:24,624
Can't lie, Samantha,
it feels pretty great.
513
00:26:24,659 --> 00:26:28,492
And I know your fans are eagerly
awaiting the third book in the trilogy.
514
00:26:28,527 --> 00:26:30,921
Any idea when we'll be able
to see that?
515
00:26:30,957 --> 00:26:33,812
Let's just say I'm working
very hard
516
00:26:33,847 --> 00:26:35,447
at giving it the
ending that it deserves.
517
00:26:35,756 --> 00:26:37,928
As for when you're gonna see it,
518
00:26:37,964 --> 00:26:40,364
well, I can't give away
all my secrets now, can I?
519
00:26:41,889 --> 00:26:45,502
And, Cassie, I assume that there
are no dragons in your book.
520
00:26:45,538 --> 00:26:48,439
No dragons.
521
00:26:48,474 --> 00:26:51,844
Although it is an adventure book,
if you consider everything that I did
522
00:26:51,879 --> 00:26:53,611
to get over my breakup an adventure.
523
00:26:53,646 --> 00:26:56,347
I thought that the chapter
where you go stand-up paddle
524
00:26:56,382 --> 00:26:57,965
boarding is hilarious.
525
00:26:57,966 --> 00:27:02,419
Would you say that "My Heartbreak
Year" is your "Eat, Pray, Love"?
526
00:27:02,455 --> 00:27:04,622
Well, I did a lot of eating.
527
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:10,260
Though the "journey" was local
and definitely on a budget.
528
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:11,962
- So it's accessible?
- Yeah.
529
00:27:11,998 --> 00:27:14,698
- Pardon me?
- Yes.
530
00:27:16,402 --> 00:27:20,237
And, We've all had
our heart broken.
531
00:27:20,272 --> 00:27:23,641
I know I've done
my fair share of wallowing,
532
00:27:23,676 --> 00:27:27,084
but I realized it's not
about holding on to the past,
533
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,732
but your future and learning to
love yourself as you move forward.
534
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:32,416
Sorry, I'm kind of rambling.
535
00:27:32,451 --> 00:27:34,362
- I'm a little nervous.
- It's fine.
536
00:27:34,421 --> 00:27:36,404
The question that we
all want to know is:
537
00:27:36,405 --> 00:27:39,134
...what does your mother
think about all of this?
538
00:27:39,169 --> 00:27:41,792
My mother?
539
00:27:41,827 --> 00:27:43,927
For those in the audience
that don't know,
540
00:27:43,963 --> 00:27:46,096
Cassie's mother is
author Jeannine Jordan.
541
00:27:46,132 --> 00:27:49,522
And this is your first book, she
must have had tons of advice, right?
542
00:27:49,557 --> 00:27:51,913
Well...
543
00:27:54,273 --> 00:27:56,674
...we're very supportive
of one another.
544
00:27:56,709 --> 00:27:59,109
Great!
545
00:27:59,830 --> 00:28:01,888
Well, it looks like we're
out of time.
546
00:28:01,923 --> 00:28:03,592
I'd love to thank my guests
Elliot Somersby
547
00:28:03,616 --> 00:28:06,016
and Cassandra Winslett
for being here today.
548
00:28:06,052 --> 00:28:07,818
Stay tuned. When we come back,
549
00:28:07,853 --> 00:28:11,355
we are gonna learn how to grow
tomatoes in the snow.
550
00:28:14,627 --> 00:28:17,995
Alright!
Great job, guys!
551
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:20,931
I hope you have
a great rest of your book tour.
552
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:24,334
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
553
00:28:24,370 --> 00:28:27,337
I completely bombed that, Elliot.
I'm sorry.
554
00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:30,174
You know, if you wanna back out
of touring with me...
555
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,943
- ... I completely understand.
- Hey, hey. It wasn't that bad.
556
00:28:33,798 --> 00:28:34,824
Are you OK?
557
00:28:35,748 --> 00:28:37,848
Yeah.
558
00:28:37,883 --> 00:28:39,917
I just... It's a lot.
559
00:28:45,024 --> 00:28:47,024
I'm gonna head back
to the Green Room
560
00:28:47,059 --> 00:28:49,393
to make sure Bungee hasn't eaten
any pillows or anything.
561
00:28:49,428 --> 00:28:52,463
I heard there's a gift basket
with our name on it,
562
00:28:52,498 --> 00:28:55,232
so, you know, I could stress eat
some candy right about now.
563
00:28:55,267 --> 00:28:58,202
OK.
564
00:29:05,344 --> 00:29:08,011
So, what did we get?
565
00:29:09,509 --> 00:29:12,649
A couple of mugs and candy...
566
00:29:12,685 --> 00:29:15,185
...and copies of our own books.
567
00:29:17,289 --> 00:29:22,159
Well, at least, we could sign
each other's, sell 'em online.
568
00:29:22,913 --> 00:29:26,177
You know, I know we have
to do these interviews,
569
00:29:26,178 --> 00:29:27,242
but I don't have to like them.
570
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:30,768
Why? You got this.
571
00:29:30,803 --> 00:29:33,170
Just...
You know, growing up,
572
00:29:33,205 --> 00:29:36,340
...I was always sheltered
from my mom's writer life.
573
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:38,375
And then when I was 10,
my dad died...
574
00:29:38,410 --> 00:29:40,744
...and the shield
wasn't there anymore.
575
00:29:42,645 --> 00:29:46,450
- Sorry, that must've been hard.
- It was. Especially on her.
576
00:29:46,485 --> 00:29:52,135
I mean, suddenly, she's single
and juggling everything and...
577
00:29:52,992 --> 00:29:55,125
You know, she is so impressive,
578
00:29:55,161 --> 00:29:57,294
and I would happily
talk about her all day long,
579
00:29:57,329 --> 00:29:58,446
it's just it's everybody else.
580
00:29:58,447 --> 00:30:00,564
They want to pick us apart.
581
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,767
Is that maybe where
the stage fright came from?
582
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:06,103
I guess so.
583
00:30:06,138 --> 00:30:08,572
The fear of not living up
to what came before?
584
00:30:08,607 --> 00:30:10,474
I get it.
585
00:30:13,279 --> 00:30:17,083
You know, growing up,
it didn't matter what I wrote,
586
00:30:17,118 --> 00:30:19,461
my teachers always compared
my work to my mom's.
587
00:30:19,496 --> 00:30:22,452
- I mean, I was a kid!
- Yet you still became a writer.
588
00:30:22,488 --> 00:30:24,588
It's hereditary, I guess.
589
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:28,125
It's just I really want my book
590
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,661
to be my own voice, you know?
I don't...
591
00:30:30,696 --> 00:30:34,665
I don't want to be seen
as the "kid of someone famous".
592
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:37,668
It's very important to me
that I make my own way.
593
00:30:37,703 --> 00:30:40,804
I mean, otherwise, what's the
point if nobody's interested?
594
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,106
You make them interested.
595
00:30:43,142 --> 00:30:45,075
You're the writer,
you tell the story.
596
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:47,811
Is that some
of your wizard wisdom?
597
00:30:47,847 --> 00:30:50,948
First of all, there's
no wizards in my book.
598
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:52,850
You haven't read my book yet,
have you?
599
00:30:52,885 --> 00:30:55,919
What snacks did you bring?
600
00:30:55,955 --> 00:30:58,589
Nice pivot, great pivot. I'm
gonna let this one go this time.
601
00:30:58,624 --> 00:31:01,491
Come on, it's all beef jerky
and potato chips!
602
00:31:01,527 --> 00:31:03,694
There's some turkey jerky
in there too.
603
00:31:03,729 --> 00:31:05,863
Yeah, OK.
You have not been
604
00:31:05,898 --> 00:31:08,672
on a road trip with a woman
in a while, have you?
605
00:31:08,707 --> 00:31:10,167
Bungee would eat it.
606
00:31:10,202 --> 00:31:12,603
Bungee would eat
this grocery bag!
607
00:31:12,638 --> 00:31:14,504
OK, we need to make a food stop.
608
00:31:16,268 --> 00:31:19,309
OK, alright. You know what?
I know the perfect place.
609
00:31:27,086 --> 00:31:31,889
Normally, we don't allow pets, but
it's slow and your dog is adorable.
610
00:31:31,924 --> 00:31:35,325
Thank you. It's so cold outside,
I really appreciate it.
611
00:31:35,361 --> 00:31:37,961
And I'm also a fan.
612
00:31:39,865 --> 00:31:42,466
Where did you find this place?
613
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:44,401
On a list of places
where all your fans work?
614
00:31:44,436 --> 00:31:46,536
Actually, believe it or not,
615
00:31:46,572 --> 00:31:50,073
I ate here three times a day
for two days straight.
616
00:31:50,109 --> 00:31:53,577
- What? How did you do that?
- I was on my first tour.
617
00:31:53,612 --> 00:31:55,679
I was younger.
I was trying to save money.
618
00:31:56,902 --> 00:31:58,849
But you gotta admit, though,
the food is pretty good.
619
00:31:58,873 --> 00:32:02,486
- You're right, delicious, but...
- It's better than beef jerky.
620
00:32:02,521 --> 00:32:06,490
But not dog treats.
Right, Bungee? You want one?
621
00:32:06,525 --> 00:32:09,860
- Yeah, good girl. Yeah.
- You two are cute together.
622
00:32:09,895 --> 00:32:12,562
Yeah, well, we've been
through a lot.
623
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:15,098
She was a congratulations
for my first book.
624
00:32:15,134 --> 00:32:17,100
From your publisher?
625
00:32:18,145 --> 00:32:19,904
No. From...
626
00:32:20,806 --> 00:32:24,041
from my ex-wife, Allison.
627
00:32:24,076 --> 00:32:27,711
You know, sometimes I think Bungee
likes her more than she likes me.
628
00:32:27,746 --> 00:32:29,780
Why is she with you?
629
00:32:29,815 --> 00:32:32,115
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to pry.
630
00:32:32,151 --> 00:32:34,384
No. Road trips are fueled
on gasoline and stories.
631
00:32:34,420 --> 00:32:37,020
Well, I did spill my guts
to you earlier.
632
00:32:39,725 --> 00:32:41,959
Allison just recently
moved to Buffalo.
633
00:32:41,994 --> 00:32:45,228
She hasn't seen the dog
for a few months.
634
00:32:45,264 --> 00:32:47,097
Actually,
since we've been divorced.
635
00:32:47,132 --> 00:32:50,567
So I just... I thought it'd be nice
if they saw each other.
636
00:32:50,602 --> 00:32:53,370
Well, it's very amicable of you.
637
00:32:54,573 --> 00:32:56,273
You know, I got
the idea from you.
638
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:58,809
- What?
- Yeah.
639
00:32:58,844 --> 00:33:01,778
Your book, that chapter
when you first see your ex?
640
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:04,614
When I do my first
and only flash mob.
641
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:07,584
Yeah. That was really funny,
by the way.
642
00:33:09,121 --> 00:33:11,288
And I guess I just...
643
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:13,323
I was thinking
that maybe I could reconnect
644
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:15,092
and remain on good terms
with her.
645
00:33:15,127 --> 00:33:17,060
I just wrote it.
646
00:33:17,096 --> 00:33:18,907
I didn't think anyone
would be influenced by it.
647
00:33:18,931 --> 00:33:21,765
Well, I was.
So, thank you.
648
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Sure.
649
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:28,438
May I get you anything else?
650
00:33:29,282 --> 00:33:30,474
No.
651
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:32,509
We should hit the road
if we want to get to Boston.
652
00:33:32,544 --> 00:33:33,855
Be safe out there.
653
00:33:33,856 --> 00:33:36,166
They're saying a winter storm
is definitely gonna hit.
654
00:33:36,201 --> 00:33:38,181
Should we be worried?
655
00:33:38,217 --> 00:33:40,450
No. No. If there's anything
to worry about,
656
00:33:40,486 --> 00:33:42,001
Julian and Piper
will let us know.
657
00:33:59,457 --> 00:34:01,171
Snow angels!
658
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:04,541
I can't remember
the last time I did that.
659
00:34:04,576 --> 00:34:06,543
You want to make one,
don't you?
660
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:08,812
Yeah, but it's not
very professional.
661
00:34:13,385 --> 00:34:16,053
What are you waiting for?
Come join me.
662
00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:23,060
- Hi!
- Hello!
663
00:34:23,095 --> 00:34:24,995
- Busted!
- Hi!
664
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:29,633
Mr. Somersby, I am so excited
to have you stay in my home.
665
00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:31,535
Thank you.
Thanks for having us.
666
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,804
- That's nice.
- This is Cassie Winslett.
667
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:37,240
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
668
00:34:37,276 --> 00:34:39,209
We don't normally do that.
669
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:41,478
I've been tempted
to do that myself.
670
00:34:41,513 --> 00:34:45,415
- Mr. Somersby...
- Please. Call me Elliot.
671
00:34:45,451 --> 00:34:49,896
Elliot, would you come and sign
the guest registry, please?
672
00:34:49,931 --> 00:34:53,590
Otherwise, the gals in the book club
will never believe you stayed here.
673
00:34:53,625 --> 00:34:55,692
- I'd be happy to, of course.
- That's good.
674
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:57,727
I'll send my husband
to get your bags.
675
00:34:57,763 --> 00:34:59,996
Great, OK. I'm just gonna
go grab Bungee.
676
00:35:00,032 --> 00:35:02,732
You come on with me.
677
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:07,404
And this is your room.
678
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:10,607
- It's cozy.
- And if you'll follow me,
679
00:35:10,642 --> 00:35:13,076
Mr. Somersby, I have
just the room for you.
680
00:35:13,112 --> 00:35:16,379
It's right this way.
681
00:35:23,155 --> 00:35:26,022
- Hey, neighbour!
- Hey.
682
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:28,692
I didn't take you for being
a bed and breakfast kind of guy.
683
00:35:28,727 --> 00:35:30,772
I just figured these places
are a bit more dog friendly
684
00:35:30,796 --> 00:35:33,530
- ... than hotels.
- Hey, is...
685
00:35:33,565 --> 00:35:35,465
is your room the size
of a closet, too?
686
00:35:35,501 --> 00:35:38,535
Maybe like a walk-in closet.
687
00:35:39,671 --> 00:35:43,573
You wanna check it out?
688
00:35:46,145 --> 00:35:49,913
This is amazing!
689
00:35:49,948 --> 00:35:52,415
I think my room
would fit in here four times.
690
00:35:52,451 --> 00:35:55,819
- The B and B owner was a fan.
- Yeah, clearly.
691
00:35:55,854 --> 00:35:59,523
Even Bungee's dog bed
is bigger than mine.
692
00:36:02,161 --> 00:36:03,994
Tell you what, why don't
we flip for the room.
693
00:36:04,029 --> 00:36:05,612
Come on, you're kidding.
694
00:36:05,613 --> 00:36:08,010
Only a crazy person would
risk giving this up.
695
00:36:08,045 --> 00:36:10,811
Call it.
I'm serious, call it.
696
00:36:10,846 --> 00:36:11,902
Heads.
697
00:36:15,091 --> 00:36:16,091
Heads!
698
00:36:17,676 --> 00:36:20,310
Must be your lucky day.
699
00:36:20,345 --> 00:36:24,014
Hey, thank you.
700
00:36:24,049 --> 00:36:26,082
- For what?
- The coin toss.
701
00:36:27,386 --> 00:36:31,154
- I saw that it was tails.
- Was it?
702
00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:33,657
Must have missed that.
703
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:36,993
Come on.
Enjoy the room.
704
00:36:49,141 --> 00:36:52,442
- Hey...
- Becca, hey. Are you busy?
705
00:36:52,477 --> 00:36:55,679
No. I was hoping you'd call.
How's it going with the writer?
706
00:36:55,714 --> 00:36:59,816
It's not at all what I expected.
He's so down to earth.
707
00:36:59,851 --> 00:37:01,818
And we're actually staying
at a bed and breakfast.
708
00:37:01,853 --> 00:37:03,620
Were there no hotels available?
709
00:37:03,655 --> 00:37:06,523
That's the thing. He has no ego.
We're staying here for his dog.
710
00:37:07,235 --> 00:37:12,049
A bed and breakfast for his dog?
How bad is it? You can tell me.
711
00:37:12,084 --> 00:37:14,698
It's nice. I mean,
it's not trendy or anything,
712
00:37:14,733 --> 00:37:17,033
but it's traditional.
713
00:37:17,069 --> 00:37:19,803
OK.
You have to send me pictures.
714
00:37:19,838 --> 00:37:21,871
- OK, I will.
- OK.
715
00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:24,241
I gotta go.
Have fun.
716
00:37:25,798 --> 00:37:27,510
Perfect!
717
00:37:55,350 --> 00:37:57,540
Elliot, are you in there?
718
00:37:57,576 --> 00:37:59,909
Yeah.
719
00:38:02,514 --> 00:38:04,347
- Hey.
- Hey.
720
00:38:05,135 --> 00:38:06,209
Listen, are you hungry?
721
00:38:06,210 --> 00:38:08,019
The B and B host brought up
a lot of food
722
00:38:08,054 --> 00:38:09,694
...that I'm pretty sure
was meant for you.
723
00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:13,857
Yeah. Sure.
724
00:38:15,308 --> 00:38:16,506
Stay.
725
00:38:18,087 --> 00:38:19,208
Stay.
726
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,501
She's a really big fan.
727
00:38:25,867 --> 00:38:27,304
I think we better enjoy this
728
00:38:27,339 --> 00:38:30,006
before she finds out
I didn't start book 3 yet.
729
00:38:30,042 --> 00:38:32,742
You haven't? But you seemed
so confident about it
730
00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:35,211
in the interviews.
Wait, does Gwendolyn know?
731
00:38:35,247 --> 00:38:39,983
Actually, you're the first
person I've ever told.
732
00:38:40,018 --> 00:38:44,621
It's gotta be weird,
knowing it's your last book.
733
00:38:46,558 --> 00:38:51,535
Can I be honest with you?
Like a writer to writer thing?
734
00:38:52,595 --> 00:38:58,234
I think that I'm avoiding writing
because once I finish, who am I?
735
00:38:58,498 --> 00:39:00,437
You're the guy who wrote
a huge book series.
736
00:39:00,772 --> 00:39:06,543
Yeah, sure, but what if I can't
write anything like that again?
737
00:39:06,578 --> 00:39:08,878
I don't want to be
a one-hit wonder.
738
00:39:08,914 --> 00:39:10,513
Technically,
it would be three hits.
739
00:39:10,549 --> 00:39:13,583
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah.
740
00:39:13,618 --> 00:39:18,588
I don't want to be known
as just the "dragon" writer.
741
00:39:19,566 --> 00:39:21,766
Come on, you don't really see
yourself that way, do you?
742
00:39:22,989 --> 00:39:24,944
I didn't see myself...
743
00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:27,297
I didn't see myself
being divorced,
744
00:39:27,332 --> 00:39:29,199
and that happened a year ago.
745
00:39:30,270 --> 00:39:34,904
So between that and the series
coming to an end, it's just...
746
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:37,640
It's a lot of change.
747
00:39:37,676 --> 00:39:40,110
Yeah.
748
00:39:40,145 --> 00:39:43,113
Well, what a pair we make, huh?
749
00:39:43,148 --> 00:39:46,383
You've got writer's block and
my entire future is on the line.
750
00:39:48,453 --> 00:39:50,420
- At least we won't go hungry.
- Yeah.
751
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:52,756
That's for sure.
752
00:40:43,975 --> 00:40:46,810
Cassie?
Cassie, are you awake?
753
00:40:49,848 --> 00:40:52,134
I'll be right there.
754
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:54,066
Coming!
755
00:40:57,248 --> 00:41:00,857
Come on, Bungee!
Bungee! Bungee! Bungee!
756
00:41:00,892 --> 00:41:04,294
Hi! Hey, good morning, Bungee.
757
00:41:04,329 --> 00:41:05,962
- And Elliot.
- Morning.
758
00:41:05,997 --> 00:41:07,897
I was just about to take
Bungee for a walk.
759
00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:09,410
I was gonna get a coffee.
Do you want one?
760
00:41:09,434 --> 00:41:11,534
- Yeah, sure. Thank you.
- Alright.
761
00:41:11,570 --> 00:41:13,837
Now, let's go for a walk.
Come on.
762
00:41:13,872 --> 00:41:16,473
She loves you.
763
00:41:16,508 --> 00:41:19,668
Hey, you know, why don't
I take her for a walk,
764
00:41:19,703 --> 00:41:20,688
and you could go get the coffees.
765
00:41:20,712 --> 00:41:22,378
No. I couldn't
ask that of you.
766
00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:24,647
Yeah, hey.
She and I are pals now.
767
00:41:24,683 --> 00:41:27,584
Seriously. Besides, I could
use a blast of cold air
768
00:41:27,619 --> 00:41:29,031
in the face to help wake me up.
769
00:41:29,032 --> 00:41:32,388
I was up late last night...
working.
770
00:41:32,424 --> 00:41:35,658
Well, I wish
I could say the same.
771
00:41:37,485 --> 00:41:38,917
OK, sure.
772
00:41:38,952 --> 00:41:41,564
Just a quick word
of warning: squirrels.
773
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,235
- Beware of them.
- OK. Watch out for squirrels.
774
00:41:45,270 --> 00:41:47,170
OK. OK, come on.
775
00:41:55,313 --> 00:42:00,383
No, to the right!
To the right!
776
00:42:08,493 --> 00:42:11,895
- She saw a squirrel?
- Yeah, she saw a squirrel.
777
00:42:11,930 --> 00:42:14,030
Sorry.
778
00:42:14,065 --> 00:42:17,901
- Bungee! I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.
779
00:42:17,936 --> 00:42:21,871
All over you.
You've got a little...
780
00:42:33,084 --> 00:42:35,151
I have to...
781
00:42:35,186 --> 00:42:37,919
- I gotta take this.
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
782
00:42:37,954 --> 00:42:39,455
Hi, Ally...
783
00:42:41,526 --> 00:42:43,726
No, Bungee is...
She's good.
784
00:42:43,762 --> 00:42:46,296
Yeah, she's getting
plenty of exercise.
785
00:42:46,331 --> 00:42:50,400
OK. Alright, bye.
786
00:42:52,938 --> 00:42:56,606
We just got our first review.
787
00:42:56,641 --> 00:42:59,342
- How much do they love you?
- This is not me.
788
00:42:59,377 --> 00:43:01,611
- This is you.
- Mine?
789
00:43:01,646 --> 00:43:05,114
Yeah. It looks like this book
tour is... it's paying off.
790
00:43:05,150 --> 00:43:08,117
Well, I mean...
791
00:43:08,153 --> 00:43:10,353
...I know reviews are
subjective and everything,
792
00:43:10,388 --> 00:43:13,690
so I don't really care,
but... what does it say?
793
00:43:13,725 --> 00:43:16,759
Do they like it?
Please tell me they like it.
794
00:43:17,853 --> 00:43:21,431
It's from the "Times Book Review",
and yeah, they love it.
795
00:43:21,466 --> 00:43:23,433
I quote,
796
00:43:23,468 --> 00:43:26,667
"Cassandra Winslett's
honest account of moving on
797
00:43:26,702 --> 00:43:28,104
had me in tears of laughter".
798
00:43:28,139 --> 00:43:32,542
It also says, "New writer Winslett
is the voice for women under 35!"
799
00:43:32,577 --> 00:43:38,548
- I'm so relieved!
- You deserve it. You do.
800
00:43:38,583 --> 00:43:40,850
Looks like somebody else
has read your review.
801
00:43:40,885 --> 00:43:46,322
Yeah. Becca is asking me
if she can post my review.
802
00:43:46,358 --> 00:43:48,992
Piper is so excited that she's
flying up for the readings.
803
00:43:51,029 --> 00:43:53,796
And they're both requesting
more pictures for the fan site.
804
00:43:53,832 --> 00:43:55,798
Really?
Well, I can help with that.
805
00:43:57,268 --> 00:44:00,670
A photo of you reading your
first congratulatory texts.
806
00:44:03,174 --> 00:44:05,008
Hey, it's my mom.
807
00:44:05,043 --> 00:44:07,677
Yeah, we'll... we're gonna
give you some privacy.
808
00:44:07,712 --> 00:44:09,879
- OK.
- OK. Congratulations.
809
00:44:09,914 --> 00:44:12,315
- Thanks.
- Come on.
810
00:44:12,350 --> 00:44:14,317
Hey, Mom!
Did you read the review?
811
00:44:14,352 --> 00:44:17,353
I did. I knew they were
going to love you.
812
00:44:17,389 --> 00:44:19,322
I can't believe it.
813
00:44:19,357 --> 00:44:21,202
Why not? Everyone else
can see how amazing you are.
814
00:44:21,226 --> 00:44:23,660
It's time that you start
to see that, too.
815
00:44:23,695 --> 00:44:25,428
Thanks, Mom.
816
00:44:25,463 --> 00:44:28,831
Now, go out there
and own that tour.
817
00:44:39,711 --> 00:44:42,512
"... as the wounded dragon
flew through the air
818
00:44:42,547 --> 00:44:46,215
for what might be
the last time".
819
00:44:46,251 --> 00:44:48,584
Thank you.
820
00:44:48,620 --> 00:44:50,019
Thanks.
821
00:44:52,090 --> 00:44:54,624
- OK, I warmed them up for you.
- You can just stay up there.
822
00:44:54,659 --> 00:44:57,093
You got this. Come on, go!
Go, go, go!
823
00:44:59,330 --> 00:45:01,197
- Good job.
- Hi!
824
00:45:02,738 --> 00:45:06,402
This is my first time
reading in front of a crowd.
825
00:45:06,438 --> 00:45:09,405
I'm not as skilled
as Mr. Dragon here.
826
00:45:11,910 --> 00:45:14,711
I wrote this book
after having my heart broken.
827
00:45:17,115 --> 00:45:19,916
"After the breakup, I got tired
of seeing my puffy eyes
828
00:45:19,951 --> 00:45:22,785
"and messy hair in the mirror,
so I decided to stop feeling
829
00:45:22,821 --> 00:45:25,822
"sorry for myself
and start living. First,
830
00:45:25,857 --> 00:45:28,124
"I made a list of all the things
I'd always wanted to do.
831
00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:31,994
And then second, I decided
to take a year and do them all".
832
00:45:37,268 --> 00:45:39,435
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
833
00:45:48,847 --> 00:45:50,379
Thank you.
834
00:45:52,150 --> 00:45:54,183
I think my reading actually
put people to sleep.
835
00:45:54,219 --> 00:45:56,085
I think I put myself to sleep.
836
00:45:57,129 --> 00:45:59,709
Listen, if you can learn French,
run a marathon
837
00:45:59,744 --> 00:46:02,603
and do all those other things you wrote
about, you can definitely conquer this.
838
00:46:02,627 --> 00:46:05,027
- I really believe that.
- If you say so.
839
00:46:05,063 --> 00:46:10,466
Besides, they don't look asleep
to me.
840
00:46:13,505 --> 00:46:16,639
Hi.
841
00:46:20,478 --> 00:46:22,245
Thanks.
842
00:46:31,010 --> 00:46:34,924
Alright, so because public speaking
is pretty much unavoidable,
843
00:46:34,959 --> 00:46:37,193
I think that we should work
on your stage fright.
844
00:46:37,228 --> 00:46:39,261
Is it unavoidable?
845
00:46:39,262 --> 00:46:41,631
I mean, I won't tell if you want
to do all the talking.
846
00:46:41,666 --> 00:46:44,700
Two words: book deal.
847
00:46:44,736 --> 00:46:48,704
OK, fine. You're right.
It's just I need to practice.
848
00:46:48,740 --> 00:46:50,306
Why not right now?
849
00:46:50,341 --> 00:46:54,477
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Bard of Breakups,
850
00:46:54,512 --> 00:46:57,547
Cassie Winslett!
My God! Hey!
851
00:46:59,684 --> 00:47:02,118
Alright, so you're on the stage.
You go up to the mic.
852
00:47:02,153 --> 00:47:04,187
What's the first thing
that you say?
853
00:47:06,191 --> 00:47:11,661
- Hello? Howdy?
- "Howdy"? Seriously?
854
00:47:11,696 --> 00:47:13,629
I don't know.
It is way different
855
00:47:13,665 --> 00:47:15,498
doing it in front
of a group of strangers
856
00:47:15,533 --> 00:47:17,466
than it is with you and Bungee
and the open road.
857
00:47:17,502 --> 00:47:19,969
The audience is there for you.
They're on your side.
858
00:47:21,573 --> 00:47:23,139
Try this. Close your eyes.
859
00:47:23,174 --> 00:47:25,842
Brace yourself, Albany,
860
00:47:25,877 --> 00:47:28,144
the next week looks
to be a snowy one
861
00:47:28,179 --> 00:47:31,180
as a winter storm
blows down from the north.
862
00:47:31,216 --> 00:47:33,916
- Now, let's return to our music.
- OK, now I am worried.
863
00:47:33,952 --> 00:47:36,485
I think we're gonna
get ahead of it.
864
00:47:36,521 --> 00:47:38,821
Forget about the weather
for a minute.
865
00:47:38,857 --> 00:47:42,525
OK, close your eyes.
Alright, you're on stage.
866
00:47:43,790 --> 00:47:47,663
Now, picture speaking
to all of your favourite people.
867
00:47:57,775 --> 00:48:00,109
Elliot's never agreed
to tour with anyone before.
868
00:48:00,144 --> 00:48:02,445
- He hasn't?
- Nope.
869
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,014
As outgoing as he is on stage,
he's actually really private.
870
00:48:05,049 --> 00:48:07,583
He's all about his writing
and his dog.
871
00:48:07,619 --> 00:48:09,102
Julian and I even took bets
872
00:48:09,103 --> 00:48:10,467
on when he'd request
to start driving alone.
873
00:48:10,491 --> 00:48:11,718
Thank you.
874
00:48:12,390 --> 00:48:14,590
Before I start,
I just want to take a moment
875
00:48:14,626 --> 00:48:16,893
and introduce
a good friend of mine,
876
00:48:16,928 --> 00:48:18,761
Cassie Winslett.
877
00:48:18,796 --> 00:48:21,397
Cassie just released
a fantastic new memoir.
878
00:48:21,432 --> 00:48:27,131
I think you should hear from her
before you hear from me.
879
00:48:27,238 --> 00:48:29,105
What do you say?
Would you like her to read
880
00:48:29,140 --> 00:48:31,374
a passage from her book,
"My Heartbreak Year"?
881
00:48:31,409 --> 00:48:33,476
Come on.
882
00:48:33,511 --> 00:48:37,146
Cassie Winslett, everyone!
883
00:48:38,226 --> 00:48:41,617
Just go on like we practiced.
Close your eyes.
884
00:48:41,653 --> 00:48:44,053
Picture all
your favourite people.
885
00:48:51,963 --> 00:48:55,431
"It wasn't that he was
the love of my life.
886
00:48:55,466 --> 00:48:58,501
"He wasn't even one of those
great loves that you read about
887
00:48:58,536 --> 00:49:00,903
"or see in the movies.
888
00:49:00,939 --> 00:49:02,805
"It was that he loved me
889
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,807
"at a moment
when I thought I needed it.
890
00:49:07,111 --> 00:49:10,813
"But it was
after he broke up with me
891
00:49:10,848 --> 00:49:13,816
"on my birthday...
892
00:49:15,620 --> 00:49:20,456
"... that I realized it wasn't his love
that I needed, but my own".
893
00:49:24,128 --> 00:49:25,928
That was great.
894
00:49:34,005 --> 00:49:37,473
You know, full confession:
that wasn't so bad.
895
00:49:37,508 --> 00:49:39,442
I'm gonna be your opening act
pretty soon.
896
00:49:39,477 --> 00:49:42,878
I highly doubt that.
Nothing prepared me for reading
897
00:49:42,914 --> 00:49:45,114
my own words in front
of a roomful of strangers
898
00:49:45,149 --> 00:49:47,116
and having them "get" it.
What a rush!
899
00:49:48,853 --> 00:49:51,354
Becca said
that my social media following
900
00:49:51,389 --> 00:49:53,222
is starting to grow
since the review,
901
00:49:53,257 --> 00:49:55,825
and some people are even posting
pictures from the reading!
902
00:49:55,860 --> 00:49:59,161
- Hashtag "Way to go".
- I know I'm being obnoxious.
903
00:49:59,197 --> 00:50:02,231
- It's just... it's so unreal.
- No, you're not.
904
00:50:02,266 --> 00:50:03,649
We should go celebrate.
905
00:50:03,650 --> 00:50:05,770
We have to be in Buffalo
by the end of the night.
906
00:50:05,805 --> 00:50:08,958
- We can make a detour.
- What about the storm?
907
00:50:08,993 --> 00:50:10,072
What storm?
908
00:50:11,965 --> 00:50:14,543
Come on, what do you say?
909
00:50:14,578 --> 00:50:15,955
OK.
910
00:50:15,990 --> 00:50:20,516
Alright. Maybe...
don't tell Piper.
911
00:50:25,390 --> 00:50:28,858
- Bye, Piper.
- We'll see you in Buffalo!
912
00:50:39,637 --> 00:50:43,439
So I noticed that there was
no winter activities
913
00:50:43,474 --> 00:50:45,574
in your many breakup adventures,
914
00:50:45,610 --> 00:50:47,576
so today we're
going snowshoeing.
915
00:50:47,612 --> 00:50:50,052
That's awesome, I've never
done that before. Is it hard?
916
00:50:50,081 --> 00:50:53,015
No, it's easy. We even got
a doggie daycare for Bungee.
917
00:50:53,051 --> 00:50:54,717
Nice!
918
00:50:57,655 --> 00:51:01,023
- So, what do you think?
- Yeah, it's fun.
919
00:51:01,059 --> 00:51:02,275
Hey, you wanna race?
920
00:51:02,276 --> 00:51:04,014
I don't know how far
we're gonna get.
921
00:51:04,049 --> 00:51:05,494
It's OK. Ready? Go!
922
00:51:11,102 --> 00:51:13,069
Thanks.
923
00:51:15,740 --> 00:51:17,373
Yeah.
924
00:51:20,344 --> 00:51:22,611
- Ready?
- Yeah.
925
00:51:25,917 --> 00:51:29,285
Hey, Becca.
926
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,754
Did you get the photos I sent?
We just went snowshoeing.
927
00:51:31,789 --> 00:51:34,623
Yes. Are all book tours
like this?
928
00:51:34,659 --> 00:51:37,827
If they are,
I never wanna come home.
929
00:51:37,862 --> 00:51:40,663
Here comes Elliot. I gotta go.
Tell everyone I said hi.
930
00:51:40,698 --> 00:51:42,598
OK. Bye.
931
00:51:47,105 --> 00:51:50,545
Only 17 texts from Piper
wondering where we are.
932
00:51:50,580 --> 00:51:52,108
Yeah. Well, 6 from Julian.
933
00:51:52,143 --> 00:51:54,944
He says that the snowstorm
is definitely heading our way.
934
00:51:54,979 --> 00:51:56,846
OK, come on.
935
00:51:56,881 --> 00:51:58,481
Come on, Bungee.
936
00:52:04,055 --> 00:52:06,188
Looks like we didn't get
ahead of the storm.
937
00:52:06,224 --> 00:52:09,391
Should I text Piper, tell her
we'll be there tomorrow?
938
00:52:11,796 --> 00:52:14,697
Yeah. Yeah, I think
that's a good idea.
939
00:52:14,732 --> 00:52:16,132
OK.
940
00:52:24,976 --> 00:52:27,405
Hey! We're in luck,
we got the last cabin.
941
00:52:27,406 --> 00:52:29,156
It's a two-bedroom, two-bath.
942
00:52:29,180 --> 00:52:30,640
They're getting it ready now.
943
00:52:30,641 --> 00:52:33,682
I would sleep in a tub
if it got us out of this storm.
944
00:52:33,818 --> 00:52:35,384
OK.
945
00:52:35,419 --> 00:52:38,287
Alright. Come on, Bungee.
Let's get the bags.
946
00:52:47,532 --> 00:52:50,166
You know, I gotta say, between
the fire and the gift basket,
947
00:52:50,201 --> 00:52:53,202
being snowed in is not that bad.
948
00:52:53,237 --> 00:52:55,504
Yeah, well, the owner's daughter
is apparently a fan.
949
00:52:55,540 --> 00:52:58,908
Really?
I should send her a thank you.
950
00:52:59,433 --> 00:53:00,938
Of mine.
951
00:53:01,846 --> 00:53:03,383
That's great!
952
00:53:03,948 --> 00:53:06,982
- Really, way to go.
- Thanks. Yeah.
953
00:53:07,018 --> 00:53:09,251
You know, I actually make
a killer hot chocolate.
954
00:53:09,287 --> 00:53:11,996
Yeah? Is that
one of your many skills
955
00:53:12,031 --> 00:53:13,788
you learned
on your breakup adventures?
956
00:53:13,823 --> 00:53:16,992
It is actually. I ended up
taking a chocolate-making class
957
00:53:17,028 --> 00:53:19,068
and a cheese-making class,
but not at the same time.
958
00:53:20,068 --> 00:53:21,597
Well, I don't know
if you know this,
959
00:53:21,632 --> 00:53:23,832
but I make a pretty mean
cup of hot chocolate myself.
960
00:53:24,787 --> 00:53:27,482
Are you suggesting
a cocoa cook-off?
961
00:53:27,617 --> 00:53:29,605
I might be.
What do you say?
962
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,508
Challenge accepted.
963
00:53:32,543 --> 00:53:34,143
- You're going down.
- I don't think so.
964
00:53:37,949 --> 00:53:41,283
- Is yours ready?
- Alright.
965
00:53:41,319 --> 00:53:44,053
No peeking, 'cause
this is a secret recipe.
966
00:53:44,088 --> 00:53:47,056
OK. Hey, eyes
on your own pot.
967
00:53:49,961 --> 00:53:53,095
So, have you been thinking
about a second book yet?
968
00:53:53,130 --> 00:53:55,097
Well, I have a notebook
full of ideas,
969
00:53:55,132 --> 00:53:57,066
but I'm not sure
I like any of them.
970
00:53:57,101 --> 00:53:59,268
There's got to be one idea
in there that you like.
971
00:53:59,303 --> 00:54:01,878
- Well, they're all fiction and...
- Your mom writes fiction.
972
00:54:03,874 --> 00:54:08,177
You know, you can't run away
from who you are.
973
00:54:08,212 --> 00:54:11,447
I'm just not sure I'm up
for all the comparison.
974
00:54:11,482 --> 00:54:15,584
Something tells me that
you can handle almost anything.
975
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:18,621
Well, I think that
my hot chocolate is ready.
976
00:54:18,656 --> 00:54:20,623
Yeah. Mine too.
977
00:54:20,658 --> 00:54:22,591
Prepare to be wowed.
978
00:54:27,164 --> 00:54:30,633
You know, we're always gonna be
compared to someone.
979
00:54:30,668 --> 00:54:33,602
I'm competing against myself
every time I write a new book.
980
00:54:33,638 --> 00:54:35,804
Yeah. How's that going,
by the way?
981
00:54:36,958 --> 00:54:39,041
It isn't.
982
00:54:39,076 --> 00:54:41,528
It will.
I believe in you.
983
00:54:43,121 --> 00:54:45,436
You know, I think I'm gonna wait
for the book tour to end
984
00:54:45,471 --> 00:54:46,849
before I decide my next move.
985
00:54:46,884 --> 00:54:48,817
I think it's important
986
00:54:48,853 --> 00:54:50,664
to remember that you're creating
your own name here.
987
00:54:50,688 --> 00:54:53,912
In the future, there's gonna be
a whole new generation of readers
988
00:54:53,947 --> 00:54:57,374
who know Jeannine Jordan
only as Cassie Winslett's mom.
989
00:54:58,396 --> 00:55:00,474
Ever thought about becoming
a motivational speaker?
990
00:55:00,498 --> 00:55:02,331
Well...
991
00:55:02,366 --> 00:55:05,167
Alright, why don't we
switch and drink?
992
00:55:05,202 --> 00:55:06,869
- Sure.
- Alright.
993
00:55:08,108 --> 00:55:09,764
Wait, wait. Hold on.
994
00:55:16,856 --> 00:55:18,380
Is that peppermint?
995
00:55:18,416 --> 00:55:20,316
Very good.
996
00:55:23,587 --> 00:55:25,054
Spicy!
997
00:55:25,055 --> 00:55:29,158
Yeah. I put cinnamon in it
and then just a dash of cayenne.
998
00:55:29,193 --> 00:55:30,837
You know, I actually think
I like yours better.
999
00:55:30,861 --> 00:55:32,928
I think I prefer yours.
1000
00:55:33,914 --> 00:55:35,831
Alright, should we
call it a draw?
1001
00:55:35,866 --> 00:55:38,734
Well, there are no losers
when it comes to hot chocolate.
1002
00:55:38,769 --> 00:55:41,503
Cheers.
1003
00:55:50,081 --> 00:55:51,647
Hey, buddy.
1004
00:56:56,714 --> 00:56:59,849
Yeah, we got held up by the storm,
but we should be there this afternoon.
1005
00:56:59,850 --> 00:57:01,979
You'll have plenty of time
to see her.
1006
00:57:02,014 --> 00:57:05,020
Yes, Ally,
I'll call you when we get there.
1007
00:57:05,055 --> 00:57:07,790
OK, bye.
1008
00:57:07,825 --> 00:57:09,591
- Hey!
- Hey.
1009
00:57:09,627 --> 00:57:13,929
- Morning, sleepyhead.
- I fell asleep on you, didn't I?
1010
00:57:13,964 --> 00:57:17,339
Yeah. Just when I was telling you
a pivotal plot point in my new book.
1011
00:57:17,374 --> 00:57:21,103
- Are you serious?
- No. No, I...
1012
00:57:21,138 --> 00:57:24,540
- I wish.
- Thank you for this by the way.
1013
00:57:24,575 --> 00:57:27,509
Yeah, well, that wasn't me.
That was the dog.
1014
00:57:27,545 --> 00:57:29,978
Well, that was
very kind of you, Bungee.
1015
00:57:31,715 --> 00:57:35,284
You just looked so cozy,
I didn't want to wake you.
1016
00:57:38,556 --> 00:57:40,456
The roads are all clear,
1017
00:57:40,491 --> 00:57:42,536
so we should be good to get back
to civilization now.
1018
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,638
Well, I kind of like it here.
1019
00:57:46,330 --> 00:57:49,231
It won't take me long
to get ready.
1020
00:57:52,371 --> 00:57:53,969
I like it here, too.
1021
00:57:57,910 --> 00:57:59,091
Come on, Bungee.
1022
00:58:03,105 --> 00:58:04,473
Come on, Bungee!
1023
00:58:13,724 --> 00:58:16,492
I bet it's Piper
asking for our ETA.
1024
00:58:17,872 --> 00:58:21,396
And it's Piper asking
for an ETA.
1025
00:58:21,432 --> 00:58:23,543
Hey, Piper, what's up?
We were just talking about you.
1026
00:58:23,567 --> 00:58:25,868
Are you close?
We've got a full day ahead.
1027
00:58:25,903 --> 00:58:28,670
Unless Elliot suddenly decides
to drive like a grandmother,
1028
00:58:28,706 --> 00:58:31,273
we should be there
in about 30 minutes.
1029
00:58:31,308 --> 00:58:35,088
Great! Julian and I are already
at the inn. We'll meet you here.
1030
00:58:35,112 --> 00:58:39,781
- No more detours.
- We'll come straight there, I promise.
1031
00:58:42,286 --> 00:58:45,921
What? Do I have something
on my face?
1032
00:58:45,956 --> 00:58:48,590
- You've been reading my book.
- How do you know that?
1033
00:58:51,896 --> 00:58:54,263
So, what do you think?
1034
00:58:54,298 --> 00:58:56,309
I've been waiting very
impatiently for your thoughts.
1035
00:58:56,333 --> 00:58:58,066
Really? Mine?
1036
00:58:58,102 --> 00:58:59,601
Of course.
I respect your opinion.
1037
00:58:59,637 --> 00:59:01,403
Well, I haven't finished it yet.
1038
00:59:01,438 --> 00:59:03,939
Alright, well,
what do you think so far?
1039
00:59:03,974 --> 00:59:06,775
It's...
1040
00:59:06,810 --> 00:59:09,778
inventive and artistic.
1041
00:59:09,813 --> 00:59:13,615
And what really surprises me is
how realistic the characters are.
1042
00:59:13,651 --> 00:59:15,784
Like the queen...
1043
00:59:15,819 --> 00:59:18,086
- Klar-Al.
- Klar-Al.
1044
00:59:18,122 --> 00:59:21,768
Even she's faced with really hard
decisions, like leaving the dragon's lair,
1045
00:59:21,803 --> 00:59:23,125
you understand why she has to go.
1046
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:24,893
You do?
1047
00:59:24,929 --> 00:59:27,262
Yeah, of course.
I would do the same thing.
1048
00:59:27,298 --> 00:59:29,309
I mean, she can never reach
the height of her powers
1049
00:59:29,333 --> 00:59:30,783
...in the dragon's world.
1050
00:59:30,784 --> 00:59:32,841
Yeah, I never really thought
of it that way.
1051
00:59:32,876 --> 00:59:35,237
She's inspired by her ex.
1052
00:59:35,272 --> 00:59:37,139
Yeah, and I'm the dragon
she left behind.
1053
00:59:37,174 --> 00:59:39,141
I don't see you as a dragon.
1054
00:59:39,142 --> 00:59:41,244
Well, you haven't seen me
when I'm hungry.
1055
00:59:43,165 --> 00:59:44,354
Stop.
1056
00:59:44,389 --> 00:59:47,799
You know, I don't know
what you have planned next,
1057
00:59:47,834 --> 00:59:51,153
but I would have all of the main
characters travel back on their own,
1058
00:59:51,188 --> 00:59:53,155
instead of forcing them
back together.
1059
00:59:53,190 --> 00:59:55,090
It could make
for a more dynamic ending.
1060
00:59:55,125 --> 00:59:57,926
It's not a bad idea.
1061
01:00:10,507 --> 01:00:13,375
- We're so glad you're here.
- We were getting worried.
1062
01:00:13,410 --> 01:00:15,210
Welcome, Mr. Somersby.
1063
01:00:15,245 --> 01:00:17,446
I'll be taking care of your dog
during your stay.
1064
01:00:17,481 --> 01:00:19,681
I've been given a complete
run-down on her feeding
1065
01:00:19,717 --> 01:00:21,284
and her exercise program.
1066
01:00:21,285 --> 01:00:24,253
There is a dog bed and
blankets waiting in the room.
1067
01:00:24,254 --> 01:00:27,489
- She's in good hands.
- Great. Thank you so much.
1068
01:00:27,524 --> 01:00:30,659
Now I understand your list.
Extra blankets, water;
1069
01:00:30,694 --> 01:00:32,995
Bungee is the diva, not you.
1070
01:00:33,030 --> 01:00:35,864
- You figured it out.
- OK, Bungee, let's go.
1071
01:00:35,899 --> 01:00:38,233
We have an appointment
at the doggie day spa. Come on!
1072
01:00:38,268 --> 01:00:40,001
I want a spa appointment.
1073
01:00:40,002 --> 01:00:42,077
I don't think
there's gonna be time for that.
1074
01:00:42,112 --> 01:00:44,952
There's been some changes
to the itinerary.
1075
01:00:44,987 --> 01:00:47,845
In addition to the signing,
we've also added a radio interview.
1076
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:49,792
And then there's the Q and A
at the university tonight.
1077
01:00:49,816 --> 01:00:54,082
- We have to make up for lost time.
- Also congratulations, Elliot.
1078
01:00:54,118 --> 01:00:56,385
- For what?
- You've been awarded
1079
01:00:56,420 --> 01:00:59,442
the American Publishers'
Author of the Year Award.
1080
01:01:00,791 --> 01:01:02,924
The reception is in New York
in two weeks.
1081
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,737
Elliot, that's huge!
1082
01:01:04,862 --> 01:01:07,207
OK, go freshen up. We'll meet
back here in 45 minutes.
1083
01:01:07,231 --> 01:01:09,364
- They'll get your bags.
- OK.
1084
01:01:14,204 --> 01:01:17,272
Alright, you guys,
I ask all my guests
1085
01:01:17,307 --> 01:01:19,241
to join me in the Book Chat
Speed Round.
1086
01:01:19,276 --> 01:01:21,243
Now, the rules are
very, very simple.
1087
01:01:21,278 --> 01:01:23,245
Answer as many questions
as you can
1088
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,313
in under one minute.
Are you ready?
1089
01:01:25,349 --> 01:01:28,183
- Sure.
- OK, we're setting the timer.
1090
01:01:28,218 --> 01:01:30,752
And...
where do you like to write?
1091
01:01:30,788 --> 01:01:32,821
My best friend's coffee shop,
"Brewed by Becca"
1092
01:01:32,856 --> 01:01:34,189
...in Princeton, New Jersey!
1093
01:01:34,190 --> 01:01:36,958
- Elliot?
- Usually my laptop.
1094
01:01:36,994 --> 01:01:39,761
- Come on!
- That's not a real answer.
1095
01:01:39,797 --> 01:01:42,364
OK, favourite book that
you've read most recently?
1096
01:01:42,399 --> 01:01:45,650
"My Heartbreak Year"
by Cassie Winslett.
1097
01:01:45,651 --> 01:01:49,337
- Is that another joke answer?
- No. I've read it multiple times.
1098
01:01:49,373 --> 01:01:51,240
You have?
1099
01:01:51,241 --> 01:01:54,154
OK. Off that answer, what do you like
most about each other's writing?
1100
01:01:54,178 --> 01:01:56,445
His imagination.
1101
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,314
She makes me want to be
a better writer.
1102
01:02:01,919 --> 01:02:04,152
And that's our speed round.
1103
01:02:04,153 --> 01:02:07,022
I honestly don't know if we could've
topped that last answer anyway.
1104
01:02:07,630 --> 01:02:09,458
I'd like to give
a huge thank you
1105
01:02:09,493 --> 01:02:11,727
to Cassie Winslett
and Elliot Somersby.
1106
01:02:11,762 --> 01:02:13,695
Thank you guys
so much for coming on.
1107
01:02:13,731 --> 01:02:17,299
- Thanks for having us.
- And we're off.
1108
01:02:17,334 --> 01:02:20,836
Thanks. That was a blast.
1109
01:02:20,871 --> 01:02:22,871
I'm sorry, I just gotta
return this call.
1110
01:02:22,906 --> 01:02:24,406
Yeah.
1111
01:02:28,095 --> 01:02:29,911
That was really incredible
what you said,
1112
01:02:29,947 --> 01:02:31,980
but you have
your own book to promote,
1113
01:02:32,015 --> 01:02:33,982
you don't have to pretend
to be into mine.
1114
01:02:34,017 --> 01:02:36,017
I didn't. I meant
every word of it.
1115
01:02:36,894 --> 01:02:38,687
- Really?
- Yeah.
1116
01:02:40,136 --> 01:02:44,359
But I do have to go. I'm late.
I gotta drop Bungee off to Allison.
1117
01:02:44,394 --> 01:02:46,161
But I'll see you at the Q and A?
1118
01:02:46,196 --> 01:02:49,264
Great!
1119
01:02:49,299 --> 01:02:51,533
I can't wait to send these
pictures to your roommate.
1120
01:02:51,568 --> 01:02:54,603
- You and Becca are friends?!
- Yeah, we text all the time.
1121
01:02:54,638 --> 01:02:56,238
She reached out about your website,
1122
01:02:56,239 --> 01:02:58,395
and now we're constantly
trading photos.
1123
01:02:58,396 --> 01:03:00,328
The three of us should have
a girl's night when we get back.
1124
01:03:00,352 --> 01:03:01,142
Yeah, sure.
1125
01:03:01,509 --> 01:03:02,944
Where did Elliot go?
1126
01:03:02,980 --> 01:03:06,681
He went to go see his ex.
She wants to see the dog.
1127
01:03:08,452 --> 01:03:10,752
What does "huh" mean?
1128
01:03:10,788 --> 01:03:12,888
I'm just really impressed
that they get along.
1129
01:03:12,923 --> 01:03:16,458
I mean, he was crushed when she left.
I think he blames himself.
1130
01:03:18,270 --> 01:03:20,028
How did it end?
1131
01:03:21,095 --> 01:03:23,495
He spent more time working on
his book than his relationship,
1132
01:03:23,526 --> 01:03:24,477
...and one succeeded and one failed.
1133
01:03:24,501 --> 01:03:26,735
I guess it's just how it goes.
1134
01:03:26,770 --> 01:03:28,837
Let's get a coffee.
1135
01:03:33,669 --> 01:03:36,114
Alright, we have time
for a few more questions.
1136
01:03:36,947 --> 01:03:39,834
- You in the second row.
- This question is for Cassie.
1137
01:03:39,917 --> 01:03:43,391
Which adventure was your favourite
and which was the hardest to do?
1138
01:03:43,426 --> 01:03:46,114
Which adventure was
my favourite?
1139
01:03:48,692 --> 01:03:51,293
I'm gonna answer
your second question first.
1140
01:03:51,628 --> 01:03:54,763
The hardest was going out
to dinner by myself.
1141
01:03:54,798 --> 01:03:56,731
I don't mean just
sitting at a bar
1142
01:03:56,767 --> 01:03:58,912
scrolling through your phone
trying to look busy, alone.
1143
01:03:58,936 --> 01:04:01,937
You all know
what I'm talking about.
1144
01:04:01,972 --> 01:04:04,773
I challenged myself
to go out to dinner,
1145
01:04:04,808 --> 01:04:07,342
to sit at a table
with no book, and no phone,
1146
01:04:07,377 --> 01:04:09,444
and just enjoy being there.
1147
01:04:09,479 --> 01:04:11,913
Which was
surprisingly difficult.
1148
01:04:11,949 --> 01:04:14,950
But it also became
my favourite adventure.
1149
01:04:14,985 --> 01:04:19,353
I appreciated the food more,
I made friends with strangers,
1150
01:04:19,504 --> 01:04:23,506
and, most importantly,
I felt good about myself.
1151
01:04:23,541 --> 01:04:25,126
I challenge you all to try it.
1152
01:04:29,201 --> 01:04:31,075
Well, I have one more question.
1153
01:04:31,259 --> 01:04:34,514
Elliot, it's my understanding
that after the signing tonight,
1154
01:04:34,538 --> 01:04:36,338
this is the end of the book tour...
1155
01:04:36,373 --> 01:04:39,374
Yeah. Yeah. It went by fast.
1156
01:04:39,409 --> 01:04:42,143
Yeah, it did.
1157
01:04:42,179 --> 01:04:44,980
- What do you plan to do after?
- Write.
1158
01:04:46,884 --> 01:04:49,017
I mean, you're all waiting
for the third book, right?
1159
01:04:53,523 --> 01:04:55,603
Anything you want to tell us
about your final book?
1160
01:04:57,527 --> 01:05:00,896
As someone who just finished
reading his second book,
1161
01:05:00,931 --> 01:05:03,331
I'm not even thinking
about a third.
1162
01:05:03,367 --> 01:05:05,732
I'm gonna read the first
and second book over again.
1163
01:05:05,767 --> 01:05:07,869
Who's with me?
1164
01:05:10,607 --> 01:05:13,691
Cassie Winslett
and Elliot Somersby!
1165
01:05:17,153 --> 01:05:20,181
- Thank you for the save.
- I owed you one.
1166
01:05:22,753 --> 01:05:26,021
That was a long day.
Well done, everyone.
1167
01:05:26,056 --> 01:05:28,723
- Who wants to celebrate?
- Actually, I was...
1168
01:05:28,759 --> 01:05:30,759
I was gonna show Cassie
around the city.
1169
01:05:30,794 --> 01:05:32,720
That's OK, we can go together.
1170
01:05:33,897 --> 01:05:36,531
Julian, we should go.
We have a lot of work to do still.
1171
01:05:36,566 --> 01:05:38,833
- We do?
- Yeah.
1172
01:05:38,869 --> 01:05:41,336
Sure. We have tons of work.
Have fun, you two.
1173
01:05:41,371 --> 01:05:44,239
Let go.
Let me know where you are.
1174
01:05:44,274 --> 01:05:45,441
Julian!
1175
01:05:45,442 --> 01:05:48,343
OK. You can pin it on the phone.
There's a setting for pinning.
1176
01:05:48,378 --> 01:05:53,315
Julian!
1177
01:05:57,321 --> 01:06:00,622
You know, I never thought
I'd say this,
1178
01:06:00,657 --> 01:06:03,525
but I don't want
this book tour to end.
1179
01:06:05,162 --> 01:06:06,928
Neither do I.
1180
01:06:08,966 --> 01:06:10,865
So...
1181
01:06:10,901 --> 01:06:13,935
- I've been thinking...
- Yeah, so have I.
1182
01:06:13,971 --> 01:06:16,338
- You go first.
- No. You, please.
1183
01:06:18,342 --> 01:06:21,209
I think I'm gonna stick
around here for a little while.
1184
01:06:21,823 --> 01:06:25,380
I want to give Allison and Bungee
just some more time together.
1185
01:06:25,415 --> 01:06:30,952
Yeah, I totally understand.
That's very... responsible.
1186
01:06:33,824 --> 01:06:38,159
Allison asked me to drop
Bungee off tomorrow morning.
1187
01:06:38,195 --> 01:06:41,062
So, I won't see you tomorrow.
1188
01:06:43,867 --> 01:06:48,136
This is our last night together.
1189
01:06:52,676 --> 01:06:55,610
I'm sorry, what was it that
you wanted to say to me?
1190
01:06:55,645 --> 01:06:58,880
I was just... gonna say...
1191
01:07:00,350 --> 01:07:04,386
...that I'm starving, and we
should have a farewell meal.
1192
01:07:06,272 --> 01:07:11,933
- Yeah. I'd love that.
- Yeah, I would love that, too.
1193
01:07:12,729 --> 01:07:14,963
- Hey, Cassie.
- Yeah?
1194
01:07:17,241 --> 01:07:21,870
Thank you for making this
the best tour that I've ever had.
1195
01:07:26,781 --> 01:07:28,243
Let's go eat.
1196
01:07:48,282 --> 01:07:49,440
Hello?
1197
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,601
Becca? Is anyone here?
1198
01:07:53,637 --> 01:07:56,404
Surprise!
1199
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,673
What?!
1200
01:07:58,708 --> 01:08:00,608
Welcome home, sweetheart!
1201
01:08:00,644 --> 01:08:03,211
- What is all this?
- It's your Welcome Home Party!
1202
01:08:03,246 --> 01:08:05,930
- I can't believe you did all this.
- It was your mom's idea.
1203
01:08:05,965 --> 01:08:07,662
You were so nervous about the tour,
1204
01:08:07,697 --> 01:08:10,452
and then you went out
and you won over everyone.
1205
01:08:10,487 --> 01:08:12,454
- I am so happy for you.
- Thanks, Mom.
1206
01:08:12,489 --> 01:08:16,480
Your social media's on fire.
You have to check out your website.
1207
01:08:17,494 --> 01:08:22,130
So, some are the ones you sent me
and others, your fans tagged.
1208
01:08:22,165 --> 01:08:24,082
And the rest came from Piper.
1209
01:08:24,083 --> 01:08:28,103
That one,
that's my favourite.
1210
01:08:28,138 --> 01:08:30,905
I don't even recognize myself.
1211
01:08:30,941 --> 01:08:33,608
Well, that's because
you don't see what we see.
1212
01:08:33,643 --> 01:08:36,711
OK, I'm gonna get us
something to drink.
1213
01:08:39,850 --> 01:08:41,783
This one is my favourite.
1214
01:08:47,290 --> 01:08:50,258
That was from
the last night of the tour.
1215
01:08:50,293 --> 01:08:52,393
You fell in love, didn't you?
1216
01:08:52,429 --> 01:08:55,964
- I didn't mean to.
- We never do.
1217
01:08:55,999 --> 01:08:58,099
- Do you want to talk about it?
- No.
1218
01:08:58,135 --> 01:09:00,635
No, there's nothing
to talk about. He's...
1219
01:09:00,670 --> 01:09:02,670
He's in Buffalo.
It's where his ex is.
1220
01:09:03,503 --> 01:09:04,672
That's ironic.
1221
01:09:04,708 --> 01:09:07,120
Maybe he should read your book
for pointers on how to move on.
1222
01:09:07,144 --> 01:09:09,310
He did. A few times.
1223
01:09:09,346 --> 01:09:11,846
You know, it's fine.
I'm being silly.
1224
01:09:11,882 --> 01:09:14,315
We were just two writers
on a tour, so...
1225
01:09:14,351 --> 01:09:18,286
Hey, there's no tears
at your own party.
1226
01:09:18,321 --> 01:09:21,022
Yep. You're right.
1227
01:09:21,057 --> 01:09:24,125
- Come on, time to celebrate.
- Yes.
1228
01:09:24,161 --> 01:09:26,828
Thank you all
so much for being here.
1229
01:09:28,565 --> 01:09:31,332
I'm so lucky to have
such a great group of friends.
1230
01:09:31,368 --> 01:09:35,145
Mom, thank you.
1231
01:09:35,180 --> 01:09:36,477
You know, your...
1232
01:09:36,512 --> 01:09:40,113
your notes on all of my book
reports were overkill...
1233
01:09:40,148 --> 01:09:44,646
...but you made me who I am,
so thank you.
1234
01:09:44,681 --> 01:09:46,681
Cheers to you.
1235
01:09:47,147 --> 01:09:50,318
Cheers!
1236
01:09:53,089 --> 01:09:58,393
Did I ever tell you that I became
a writer to avoid going into medicine?
1237
01:09:58,428 --> 01:10:00,161
You were gonna be a doctor?
1238
01:10:00,197 --> 01:10:02,197
Your grandfather had this dream
1239
01:10:02,232 --> 01:10:03,998
that I was gonna join
his medical practice.
1240
01:10:04,034 --> 01:10:06,234
I didn't know that.
1241
01:10:06,269 --> 01:10:08,903
Yeah, he was so beloved
and so respected,
1242
01:10:08,939 --> 01:10:12,959
and I thought I could never live up
to any of his accomplishments.
1243
01:10:12,994 --> 01:10:16,844
So, I told him
that I was studying medicine,
1244
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,746
but secretly I was writing.
1245
01:10:18,782 --> 01:10:21,716
- I bet grandpa was so upset.
- He was.
1246
01:10:21,751 --> 01:10:25,887
Not that I was deceiving him,
but because I didn't try.
1247
01:10:25,922 --> 01:10:28,990
I thought I could never be
as good as he was,
1248
01:10:29,025 --> 01:10:30,658
so I just avoided
medicine altogether.
1249
01:10:30,694 --> 01:10:33,328
What are you telling me, Mom?
1250
01:10:33,363 --> 01:10:36,363
I know it can't be easy
for you being compared to me,
1251
01:10:36,672 --> 01:10:38,924
but instead of running away
from your dream,
1252
01:10:38,959 --> 01:10:41,202
you're still going for it,
1253
01:10:41,238 --> 01:10:44,872
and you've handled it
with such grace.
1254
01:10:44,908 --> 01:10:46,874
Honey, I was never that brave.
1255
01:10:46,910 --> 01:10:49,577
Mom, you're the bravest person
that I know.
1256
01:10:49,613 --> 01:10:52,914
Keep writing.
It's what you're meant to do.
1257
01:10:54,551 --> 01:10:58,253
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
1258
01:11:07,130 --> 01:11:09,330
- Hey, roomie.
- Hey.
1259
01:11:12,469 --> 01:11:15,703
Wait. Weren't you
in that same spot when I left?
1260
01:11:15,739 --> 01:11:18,473
I hit a groove and I can't stop.
1261
01:11:18,508 --> 01:11:20,642
- What are you working on?
- A new book.
1262
01:11:20,677 --> 01:11:22,644
- It's a novel.
- Really?
1263
01:11:24,648 --> 01:11:26,948
I still haven't figured out
the ending yet.
1264
01:11:26,983 --> 01:11:28,883
- It's not about dragons, is it?
- No way.
1265
01:11:28,918 --> 01:11:32,287
OK, good.
Speaking of...
1266
01:11:32,322 --> 01:11:36,391
No, I haven't heard from him,
and I'd be surprised if I ever do.
1267
01:11:36,426 --> 01:11:38,926
That's not what I was
gonna say.
1268
01:11:38,962 --> 01:11:41,396
I got an alert about
this new Elliot interview.
1269
01:11:43,833 --> 01:11:47,235
I'm sorry.
You get alerts about Elliot?
1270
01:11:47,270 --> 01:11:50,563
I set up alerts about the two of you
when you were going on tour,
1271
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:52,447
and I just haven't
changed my settings yet.
1272
01:11:52,448 --> 01:11:53,641
Yeah, OK. Sure. Great.
1273
01:11:53,677 --> 01:11:55,910
- Alright.
- OK, watch.
1274
01:11:55,945 --> 01:11:58,146
Am I bringing a date
to the Awards?
1275
01:12:00,283 --> 01:12:02,884
Let's just say
that I'm working on it.
1276
01:12:04,487 --> 01:12:07,811
He's working on it! That's code
for he doesn't have a date.
1277
01:12:07,846 --> 01:12:11,659
Or it's just proof
that instead of moving on,
1278
01:12:11,695 --> 01:12:14,195
he is working things out
with his ex.
1279
01:12:14,230 --> 01:12:18,933
OK, this might be our first
friend fight, 'cause I disagree.
1280
01:12:20,537 --> 01:12:22,503
OK.
1281
01:12:35,752 --> 01:12:38,286
- Hey, look who's here!
- Piper?
1282
01:12:38,321 --> 01:12:40,104
This place is so cute!
1283
01:12:40,105 --> 01:12:42,223
I can't believe we finally
get to meet in person.
1284
01:12:42,258 --> 01:12:44,225
I know! We talked
so much during the tour,
1285
01:12:44,260 --> 01:12:46,194
feels like I've known you forever.
1286
01:12:46,229 --> 01:12:48,207
- That pic you sent...
- The one of them laughing?
1287
01:12:48,231 --> 01:12:50,832
- It got so many "likes".
- Nice!
1288
01:12:50,867 --> 01:12:52,867
I don't mean to interrupt
girl-bonding time,
1289
01:12:52,902 --> 01:12:56,056
which I'm loving by the way,
but what are you doing in Princetown?
1290
01:12:56,091 --> 01:12:58,506
I mean, I know
our winter mocha latte is good,
1291
01:12:58,541 --> 01:13:00,475
but I don't know
if it's leave-the-city good.
1292
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,511
No, they are that good, actually.
1293
01:13:03,546 --> 01:13:05,847
Your presence has been requested
1294
01:13:05,882 --> 01:13:07,802
at the American Publishers
Awards tomorrow night.
1295
01:13:08,876 --> 01:13:10,218
The one Elliot's receiving?
1296
01:13:10,905 --> 01:13:12,470
MacDonner Press has a table,
1297
01:13:12,471 --> 01:13:15,652
and it's my job to make sure
you look the part of hot new writer.
1298
01:13:15,687 --> 01:13:19,093
- What does that look like?
- It has less coffee stains.
1299
01:13:21,398 --> 01:13:23,531
I haven't
seen him since Buffalo.
1300
01:13:23,566 --> 01:13:25,900
I feel like I imagined
the entire trip.
1301
01:13:25,935 --> 01:13:28,536
You didn't imagine anything.
1302
01:13:28,571 --> 01:13:31,506
He's gonna be excited to see you.
1303
01:13:31,541 --> 01:13:35,176
Trust me.
1304
01:13:46,475 --> 01:13:48,101
How's the man of the hour?
1305
01:13:48,425 --> 01:13:50,458
Fine.
1306
01:13:50,493 --> 01:13:52,794
It's a little...
it's a little fancy.
1307
01:13:52,829 --> 01:13:55,738
Usually, my fans
are dressed in costume.
1308
01:13:55,773 --> 01:13:57,799
Do you have your speech?
1309
01:13:57,834 --> 01:14:00,368
- Yeah.
- Great.
1310
01:14:09,879 --> 01:14:11,579
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
1311
01:14:19,780 --> 01:14:20,597
Hi.
1312
01:14:21,225 --> 01:14:22,189
Hi.
1313
01:14:26,596 --> 01:14:28,514
I'm gonna go find our table.
1314
01:14:32,168 --> 01:14:34,435
You look incredible.
1315
01:14:35,732 --> 01:14:37,505
You're not so bad yourself.
1316
01:14:38,433 --> 01:14:42,247
Good evening, all.
Will everyone please take their seats.
1317
01:14:42,282 --> 01:14:44,645
I think that's our cue.
1318
01:14:47,122 --> 01:14:50,451
- Me?
- Of course. Who else?
1319
01:14:55,725 --> 01:14:57,992
Cassie, it's wonderful
to see you.
1320
01:14:58,027 --> 01:14:59,994
I'm very happy to be here.
1321
01:15:00,029 --> 01:15:01,996
We have a lot to celebrate:
1322
01:15:02,031 --> 01:15:04,599
a successful book tour,
your rising sales,
1323
01:15:04,634 --> 01:15:08,803
and... MacDonner Press
extending your publishing deal.
1324
01:15:08,838 --> 01:15:11,539
Really? Thank you.
1325
01:15:11,574 --> 01:15:14,141
I'm so sorry. I just...
I got really excited.
1326
01:15:14,177 --> 01:15:15,577
That's great news.
1327
01:15:15,578 --> 01:15:16,978
Ladies and gentlemen,
1328
01:15:17,013 --> 01:15:22,183
thank you and welcome to this
evening's Awards' presentation.
1329
01:15:22,218 --> 01:15:25,853
I am thrilled
to present this year's
1330
01:15:25,889 --> 01:15:30,424
American Publishers Author
of the Year, Elliot Somersby.
1331
01:15:39,936 --> 01:15:41,903
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
1332
01:15:41,938 --> 01:15:44,272
Thank you.
1333
01:15:45,708 --> 01:15:50,311
What an honour, thank you.
Thank you so much.
1334
01:15:50,346 --> 01:15:55,483
I'd like to thank the American
Publishers for this incredible award.
1335
01:15:55,518 --> 01:16:00,488
As some of you might know,
I just recently wrapped a book tour.
1336
01:16:00,723 --> 01:16:06,196
While on the road, I realized that
even though writing is a solitary craft,
1337
01:16:07,096 --> 01:16:09,130
I couldn't have done it alone.
1338
01:16:10,967 --> 01:16:14,168
I'd like to thank
Gwendolyn MacDonner
1339
01:16:14,203 --> 01:16:16,137
and the entire team
at MacDonner Press.
1340
01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:25,913
And I'd like to thank Allison
1341
01:16:25,949 --> 01:16:28,916
for always encouraging me
to keep writing,
1342
01:16:28,952 --> 01:16:32,253
even when I was just
a wannabe writer.
1343
01:16:32,288 --> 01:16:36,757
When I was working
on my first book, she, she just...
1344
01:16:36,793 --> 01:16:39,193
She was always there for me.
1345
01:16:39,228 --> 01:16:44,165
I am so sorry. I don't feel
very well, I think I should go.
1346
01:16:54,477 --> 01:16:56,544
Sorry. If you'll just bear
with me for a second,
1347
01:16:56,579 --> 01:16:58,412
I have so many people
I'd like to thank.
1348
01:17:07,509 --> 01:17:09,590
Finally, I would like
to thank my fans
1349
01:17:09,626 --> 01:17:11,626
who I wouldn't be here without.
1350
01:17:11,661 --> 01:17:14,495
So, thank you, everyone.
1351
01:17:14,530 --> 01:17:17,365
This award truly is an honour.
Thank you.
1352
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,667
Thank you.
1353
01:17:23,139 --> 01:17:24,939
Hey.
1354
01:17:24,974 --> 01:17:27,441
- Where's Cassie?
- She didn't feel well.
1355
01:17:27,477 --> 01:17:29,377
- Take this.
- Yeah.
1356
01:17:29,412 --> 01:17:32,346
Hi. Thank you.
1357
01:17:32,382 --> 01:17:35,583
- Thank you so much.
- Congratulations!
1358
01:17:47,163 --> 01:17:49,163
Are you sure
you heard him correctly?
1359
01:17:49,198 --> 01:17:53,901
Yes. He made a point
of thanking his ex.
1360
01:17:55,938 --> 01:17:58,005
Are they back together?
1361
01:17:58,041 --> 01:18:00,374
I don't know. He's just...
He's not over her.
1362
01:18:02,445 --> 01:18:06,139
You know, I actually convinced
myself that he felt the same way.
1363
01:18:06,174 --> 01:18:09,150
And I got all dressed up, and...
1364
01:18:10,687 --> 01:18:13,854
I just... I felt so foolish
I had to leave.
1365
01:18:13,890 --> 01:18:17,058
If it makes you feel any better,
you looked beautiful.
1366
01:18:22,565 --> 01:18:25,132
Some heartbreak expert
I turned out to be, huh?
1367
01:18:32,575 --> 01:18:35,543
OK, let's go or we'll be late!
1368
01:18:36,455 --> 01:18:37,645
Is that Elliot again?
1369
01:18:38,691 --> 01:18:41,949
He's been calling non-stop for three
days; are you ever gonna answer?
1370
01:18:41,984 --> 01:18:43,796
Until I know what to say,
that phone is staying
1371
01:18:43,820 --> 01:18:45,487
...in my pocket. Let's go.
1372
01:18:45,764 --> 01:18:47,140
Fair enough.
1373
01:19:04,207 --> 01:19:06,207
OK.
1374
01:19:06,242 --> 01:19:08,576
- Nice!
- Alright.
1375
01:19:08,611 --> 01:19:09,987
Let's go get ready.
1376
01:19:13,848 --> 01:19:15,452
Thank you all so much for coming
1377
01:19:15,453 --> 01:19:17,856
to what I consider to be
my do-over signing.
1378
01:19:18,721 --> 01:19:22,156
This bookstore means a lot to me.
I basically grew up here.
1379
01:19:22,191 --> 01:19:24,892
I bought my very first book here
with my allowance money.
1380
01:19:24,927 --> 01:19:30,037
And I also kicked off
my first book tour here,
1381
01:19:30,072 --> 01:19:32,416
though I didn't know it at the time.
1382
01:19:32,451 --> 01:19:33,534
I'd also like to announce
1383
01:19:33,569 --> 01:19:36,003
that I'm officially coming out
with a second book.
1384
01:19:38,629 --> 01:19:42,543
Thanks to all of your support,
I am actually writing a novel,
1385
01:19:42,578 --> 01:19:47,248
and I believe that a sneak peek of my
very first chapter is on my website.
1386
01:19:47,283 --> 01:19:51,852
Just saying that this novel has been
a labour of love is an understatement.
1387
01:19:53,556 --> 01:19:55,923
And it looks
like we have a question.
1388
01:19:55,958 --> 01:19:59,393
- Take it.
- OK. A question in the back?
1389
01:19:59,428 --> 01:20:02,729
Yeah, I know that this book is fiction,
1390
01:20:02,730 --> 01:20:05,886
but the pages on your website,
they seem kind of real.
1391
01:20:05,921 --> 01:20:08,999
I was wondering
what the influence was.
1392
01:20:09,604 --> 01:20:14,651
Well, sir,
the book is inspired by a...
1393
01:20:14,652 --> 01:20:18,529
a road trip I took
on my very first book tour.
1394
01:20:18,530 --> 01:20:21,782
And, who is the influence
for your dashing leading man?
1395
01:20:21,818 --> 01:20:25,846
I don't believe that I used
the term "dashing" to describe him.
1396
01:20:25,881 --> 01:20:27,692
I mean, that was just implied.
1397
01:20:27,727 --> 01:20:31,380
Well, he was based on the writer
I went on tour with, loosely.
1398
01:20:31,415 --> 01:20:33,071
Elliot Somersby,
maybe you've heard of him?
1399
01:20:33,095 --> 01:20:36,630
I have actually. He's a very,
very talented writer.
1400
01:20:38,267 --> 01:20:41,101
So have you... have you thought
of an ending yet?
1401
01:20:41,137 --> 01:20:43,004
I'm still working on that.
1402
01:20:43,005 --> 01:20:45,532
Well, maybe your dashing
leading man could help you out.
1403
01:20:45,567 --> 01:20:46,451
You know, I actually think
1404
01:20:46,475 --> 01:20:48,687
that he has been too busy
in his own personal life to help.
1405
01:20:48,711 --> 01:20:50,477
So if anyone else
has questions...
1406
01:20:50,513 --> 01:20:52,913
- Yeah, I have another one.
- Wait, what are you doing?
1407
01:20:52,949 --> 01:20:55,349
It's fun. I've never been
on this side before.
1408
01:20:55,384 --> 01:20:58,285
I mean, no, what are you doing here?
What about Allison?
1409
01:20:58,321 --> 01:21:00,955
Allison?
1410
01:21:00,990 --> 01:21:04,458
- We're not together.
- But your speech.
1411
01:21:04,493 --> 01:21:06,026
Is that why you left?
1412
01:21:06,855 --> 01:21:09,029
Why don't we take five,
1413
01:21:09,065 --> 01:21:10,609
and those of you who'd like
to line up for the book signing,
1414
01:21:10,633 --> 01:21:14,668
Cassie will be with you shortly.
1415
01:21:16,005 --> 01:21:18,672
Allison and I,
we're just trying to be friends.
1416
01:21:18,708 --> 01:21:20,541
That's it.
1417
01:21:20,576 --> 01:21:22,676
You were the one
that I wanted there that night.
1418
01:21:22,712 --> 01:21:24,678
You did? But...
1419
01:21:24,714 --> 01:21:27,047
I invited you.
1420
01:21:27,083 --> 01:21:29,283
I just wanted it to be a surprise.
1421
01:21:29,318 --> 01:21:32,726
It just seemed like you had a lot
that you needed to work through.
1422
01:21:32,761 --> 01:21:36,891
Yeah, well, I did.
And I needed to do it alone.
1423
01:21:36,926 --> 01:21:41,862
I needed to get over myself.
I needed to write.
1424
01:21:41,898 --> 01:21:45,699
I needed to stop living
in the past, move forward.
1425
01:21:45,735 --> 01:21:49,136
I was able to do that
because of you.
1426
01:21:49,171 --> 01:21:51,372
Because of your book.
1427
01:21:51,407 --> 01:21:53,874
And if you'd stayed
for my entire speech...
1428
01:21:55,745 --> 01:21:57,612
...this is what you would have heard:
1429
01:21:58,193 --> 01:22:01,160
"Every story has a hero.
1430
01:22:01,684 --> 01:22:05,986
"A character who enchants us
and challenges us,
1431
01:22:06,022 --> 01:22:08,689
"who inspires us
to be better people,
1432
01:22:08,724 --> 01:22:14,194
"who makes us see the world
in a whole new light.
1433
01:22:14,230 --> 01:22:16,997
"And I wouldn't be
up here tonight
1434
01:22:17,033 --> 01:22:19,433
"if it wasn't
for the hero in my life,
1435
01:22:19,468 --> 01:22:21,502
Cassie Winslett".
1436
01:22:23,739 --> 01:22:25,673
You see, Cassie, I...
1437
01:22:25,708 --> 01:22:27,741
I didn't just fall in love
with your writing...
1438
01:22:29,645 --> 01:22:31,645
I fell in love with you.
1439
01:22:34,150 --> 01:22:37,905
I love you, Cassie Winslett, and I...
1440
01:22:38,682 --> 01:22:40,254
I hope that you love me back.
1441
01:22:41,530 --> 01:22:44,191
I have loved you since
the very first book signing.
1442
01:22:44,951 --> 01:22:48,529
Well, then I guess this is
a great place to do this.
1443
01:22:59,158 --> 01:23:02,249
I just have one more surprise.
1444
01:23:05,081 --> 01:23:06,880
- Bungee!
- Bungee, come here!
1445
01:23:06,916 --> 01:23:08,983
Come here.
She didn't want to miss this.
1446
01:23:09,018 --> 01:23:12,319
This next joint book tour
is going to be huge!
1447
01:23:12,355 --> 01:23:14,388
We're going to need
to double the appearances.
1448
01:23:14,423 --> 01:23:17,224
- I like that idea.
- You like that idea?
1449
01:23:22,225 --> 01:23:28,225
