Nana and Pop Pop,
you really did it in style.
Ah.
I have had
all the honeycomb lattes
and, like, eight guava pastries.
Oh, so it's my fault
when you won't fit
into your skinny jeans.
You know I can't be left alone
at the bakery.
- Where have you been?
- I was making
some adjustments
to my wedding mood board.
I found the most perfect
twinkling lights.
Your imaginary wedding
will be so well-illuminated.
But it's almost my birthday.
My 35th birthday.
The day that my fortune predicted
I would have
the most perfect wedding
to the most perfect man.
Oh, you're still holding
on to that?
Why wouldn't I?
Well, I mean, you know...
You're single.
But this fortune was done
by Madam Lotus,
the Seer of Seine.
She's the most famous
fortune teller in France.
People travel from all over
the world to see her.
I love your conviction,
but your birthday
is in, like, three months.
Every other prediction she made
has come true.
She said I would have
a creative job.
I'm a children's book illustrator.
Well, yeah, but you could be
like a nail technician
or a hairdresser.
Those are both creative.
She said I would live
surrounded by magic.
I live in Magic City.
Okay, but, like,
if you moved to Las Vegas,
you would be around magic.
It just, you know...
She said I would befriend
my hero.
Beyonc liked one of your tweets
and that was a year ago,
that is not a friendship.
This is a friendship,
that's not a friendship.
What's it like living
in your dark, cynical world?
All right, you know, I love you
and I love this for you.
I just... I just don't want
to see you get disappointed.
I won't. I need you
on board though
because you're my best person.
And, honey, I am so honored.
In fact, I have so many fun
and interesting stories
to tell about you
at the reception.
None about your fianc
because he doesn't exist.
Oh, no, he exists,
I just haven't met him yet.
And when you do,
the clouds will part,
the world will stop turning,
the angels will sing,
you'll fall madly in love
at first sight, I'm sure of it.
I know. As time passes,
I just get more and more excited
because I know
something incredible
is about to happen.
Yeah. I think you're right.
I think something incredible
is about to happen.
Uh, hold that thought.
I'm gonna go make his day
and ask him out.
Oh.
Humble as always.
Mm-hm.
Hey, how's it going?
So, this is so crazy.
I work, like, all the time.
I was talking this over with
my personal assistant over there
and it turns out
I have a whole weekend off.
Isn't that nuts?
So when do you want
to get together,
Friday or Saturday?
Just pick one, write your name,
write your number.
I'm gonna call you.
Sweet.
See you soon.
Nice to meet you.
Literally that easy.
Literally.
Hi, um, I just got an e-mail
that you have a cancellation
three months from tomorrow.
Okay, um, I'd like
to book the venue.
Yes, for a wedding.
Great!
What is this?
What's going on here?
You have to tell me,
I don't know.
Okay, you know
the Spanish monastery?
Uh, the Spanish monastery?
It's like a super old building,
brick by brick,
five million
bajillion years ago?
They had a cancellation
on my birthday!
Oh, wow!
I mean, that is incredible
if you had a man to marry.
Okay, Madam Lotus made
one more prediction.
She said that my grandparents
would be involved
in my special day,
which was really confusing
because they're
no longer around anymore,
but guess what?
They got married
at the Spanish monastery!
So...
I booked it.
Okay.
Okay, you're secretly
dating someone, right?
I mean, you got a whole little
secret fling on the side,
something you're not
telling me about.
Sit down, spill the tea. I want
to know everything about him.
No. I am a hundred percent single,
but if Madam Lotus predicted
that I'm getting married
in three months,
that means I must be about
to meet my fianc any day now.
I fell in love,
fell in love with you
I'd climb a mountain
to get close to you
- Hello?
- Hello,
it's Carmen
from the Spanish monastery.
How are the wedding plans
coming along?
Oh, hi. Um, oh, they're great.
I already have the flowers,
the caterer,
and I am speaking
to the print shop tomorrow
about the place cards.
Oh! Oh my, you are on the ball.
Well, I might have had
a few things planned.
So, I still have yet to meet
your lovely husband-to-be.
Right, yes. I'm sorry.
He's actually away
working again.
Oh, he's a deep-sea diver, right?
Uh, yeah,
always going on expeditions.
You are so understanding.
Some relationships
would struggle.
Oh, no. He's very passionate
about what he does.
I just have to support him.
Now that's true love.
But like I said on the phone,
we can't go forward
until I've met the both of you.
I'm sorry. It's our policy.
And if we bend it
for one couple...
Right. I'm so sorry.
As soon as he's back
on the surface,
I promise you'll be
the first to know.
Just maybe give me a day or two?
Two days, but no longer,
I'm afraid.
We'll speak soon. Bye-bye.
Uh, talk soon!
Back on the surface?
What am I gonna do?
I just don't understand
why you said deep-sea diver.
I mean, you might as well
have told 'em
he was an astronaut.
When I advertise for my next PA,
I'm gonna specify
"sense of urgency"
in the job description.
I was held up
by your favorite illustrator.
I mean, come on, we have
to look after the talent.
Hm.
My office, now.
Have a seat, Jenny.
I'll be with you in ten.
Oh, uh, see, you did it again.
You got me fired.
Hey, look after the phones
for me, will ya?
If it's something important,
just patch it through.
What? I don't know how to...
Yes, it's a small illustrator,
but it's the best
that I can do right now.
I don't know, they want me
to meet some new artist,
uh, Jenny Newlove.
Yeah. Yeah, I've seen her stuff.
It's good.
She's kind of trying to do art
with a capital A.
I know.
I know.
Okay, look, after my last book,
I'm kind of out of options.
All right, look, I got to go.
Okay, I love you.
Bye.
- Hi.
- Hi!
I'm here for a meeting
with, um, Clara Morgan.
Oh, what's your name?
Tyler Reeves.
Um, hey, could you do me
a little favor
and not mention anything
I said about the artist?
Hm, so you're not a fan
of Jenny Newlove?
No. Her talent
is off the charts,
but, you know,
she thinks she's drawing
for the Guggenheim,
not for kids.
Aren't you the guy
that wrote the book
about the kid searching
for the world's
smelliest smells?
That's me.
Oh, nice.
Well, I guess kids do like
silly and shallow.
No, they like to have fun,
and my books make them laugh.
I don't know,
I think children's fiction
should have a deeper meaning,
you know, a valuable lesson.
Ah, hey, maybe you should
write a book with Jenny Newlove.
- Tyler.
- Clara!
- Hi.
- Hi.
This is Jenny Newlove,
the fabulous illustrator
I want you to meet.
Ha.
I thought that was the...
Yeah, woman behind desk.
Must be a receptionist.
Right.
This shouldn't take long.
- Come on.
- Great.
Well, thank you both
for coming today.
- Yeah.
- I love both your work.
And I really feel
this partnership
can be wonderful.
You'd make
a very successful team.
Yeah, in that Jenny's beautiful,
yet self-indulgent artwork
could add a bit
of sophistication
to my shallow writing?
Oh, no, your writing is fine
for three-year-olds.
Isn't that the point?
Sometimes, children actually
like to be challenged.
Or is that what pretentious
adults like to say?
You know, there's always
a bit of fire
in every great
creative partnership.
Let's try to focus that passion
in the right way.
Jenny, you're
an amazing new artist,
but this is a commercial world,
and you can't keep waiting
for that genius idea to hit you.
Your first book was a big hit,
but you've plateaued.
Your name value
could give Jenny exposure,
and her fresh outlook
can elevate your writing.
Hm, that shouldn't be too hard.
I think once you read
Tyler's new manuscript,
you'll be really excited
about bringing his words
to life.
Really? What is it?
More of the world's
smelliest smells?
Oh, so you have read it.
- Jenny?
- What?
Can we speak outside, please?
I'll talk to her.
She's not always like this.
And we need her.
What is going on?
He's infuriating.
I know this is not
your ideal job,
but I get the feeling
there's something else
going on here.
I think you should tell her
about your birthday.
Your birthday?
You have to arrange a wedding
in a month.
Well, it's pretty much arranged.
But you're single.
Isn't it romantic?
I am patiently waiting
for the one,
but I will admit
Madam Lotus is cutting it
a little bit close.
A lot can happen in a month.
I know.
Remember Rachel Lewis,
the copy editor?
She met her husband in Vegas.
They got married
at a love chapel
and they're still together.
If this were anyone else,
I would think
they'd lost their mind.
But somehow you do have a way
of willing things to happen.
Yeah, well, I need to meet
the one, like, today.
I can't lose this venue.
You could get married
at any time.
I know, but when can I have
this perfect wedding?
I mean, I have been waiting
for this for years.
I'm just... I'm not ready
to give up on it yet.
What if you brought a stand-in?
Just to the venue meeting,
just the first one
so you don't lose the booking.
But I can't just find any guy
off the street.
Oh, come on. I could do it.
I love you and I know
everything about you.
Yeah, but you find it
impossible to lie.
Impossible to lie. Please!
I can lie, I can convince.
Uh, okay, what do you think
of those lilies over there?
Those lilies over there?
Mm-hm.
I love them.
They're great.
They just, you know,
remind me of, um,
funeral homes
and they smell like death.
You want to slate
any more of my decor choices?
Okay, so that leaves Aiden out.
Or...
I could be your stand-in.
You?
Yeah, sure.
We'll just take
a little crash course
in each other's lives
on the ride down.
I can, uh, wing it.
Trust me.
I was in an improv group
at college.
Why would you want to help me?
Because you can help me
by illustrating my book.
That guy is impossible!
I can't pretend
I'm in love with him.
He's a nice guy
once you get to know him.
And, look,
no matter who you take,
it's gonna be
a little bit of a stretch.
Right, but if I agree
to take Tyler,
then I'm gonna be tied
to illustrating his book.
Well...
If you want
that Spanish monastery...
You don't have much choice.
Oh, I got to get to you now
I need you somehow
Someway
Oh, you're my blue heaven
I need you right now
to make it okay
Ah-ooh
Hey.
I know we just met and all,
but let's go book a wedding.
You know this is blackmail, right?
I'd say that's a bit
of an exaggeration.
Oh, so if I said no,
you would still be here?
Look, how about
I scratch your back
- and then you scratch mine?
- Oh.
I didn't mean that literally.
I mean, you could've
at least tried
to look presentable.
No fianc of mine
would have crumbs on his shirt.
You know we're not actually
getting married, right?
Yes, for that
I'm very, very grateful.
So, your mother's name
is Meredith,
and your father's name is Cliff.
- Clint!
- Clint.
Yes. And you are from Seattle.
San Diego.
My dad was in the Navy, remember?
- But what are you doing?
- Writing down some notes.
Oh, okay, 'cause that won't
look suspicious,
you bringing out your phone
every two seconds.
- No.
- Ah.
Betrothed couples
don't socially distance.
I mean, we should
just call this.
They're never gonna buy this.
Don't worry so much.
Just keep the faith, all right?
I got this.
I know exactly how to play this.
I think you're being
a little overconfident.
I don't think so.
So how was San Dimas growing up?
- It was nice.
- Was it?
Sure you don't want
to take my arm?
- I'm sure.
- Okay.
You must be Jenny! Hello!
Oh! And you must be
her deep-sea diver fianc.
Finally we get to meet!
Yes, I've been freediving
in Fiji, actually.
Oh, he took
a last-minute flight.
He didn't want to miss
this opportunity.
You know, I've never
been here before,
but this is exactly
what I had envisioned
the moment I asked her.
I, um, I took her to the lake,
scattered rose petals
all over the ground,
got down on one knee and asked
the most beautiful woman
that I've ever met,
inside and out, to marry me.
How magical.
I just love it when a man
goes the extra mile.
- Thank you.
- Please, come this way.
I'd love to show you the venue.
- Don't overdo it.
- Oh, come on.
I'm crushing it.
The monastery is 900 years old.
It was built in the 12th century
in northern Spain.
It wasn't until 1925
when William Randolph Hearst
purchased it
and brought it over here.
You know, my grandparents
were actually married here.
Yes. Clint.
Senior.
- Hell of a guy.
- How lovely.
And now you will too.
Please, right this way.
Can't that wait?
Uh, Laura wants me to call her.
Laura? Oh, that Laura. Um...
Do you need five minutes?
Um...
No. I will call her back.
Um, so how did the monastery
get over here?
Well, when Mr. Hearst
purchased the building,
it was dismantled
stone by stone.
It was packed and shipped
in over 11,000 crates.
It wasn't until 1964
when the building was presented
to the bishop of Florida
where it's now home
to many wedding events.
It's going to be
a really intimate wedding.
I'm just inviting
my closest family and friends.
Oh, and Tyler's?
Oh, uh, yes, of course.
But not my Uncle Jimmy though.
I know how much
you can't stand Uncle Jimmy.
We don't really need to go
into Uncle Jimmy right now.
He's only the man who taught me
how to ride the unicycle,
but, hey, yeah,
we can leave him out.
Oh, that's impressive.
Yeah, I was in
the traveling circus as a child.
I can juggle at the same time.
Yeah,
but the unfortunate incident
with the, uh, miniature poodle
forced him into a career change.
Yes.
Don't juggle flaming clubs
while riding a unicycle
and balancing a miniature poodle
on your head
is all I can say.
Well, I think we can all agree
that's a rule for life.
Stop being weird.
You're the one who brought
the poodles into this.
Well, thank you so much
for waiting for me.
We're just thrilled
to have our special day here.
You are so welcome.
It was so lovely getting
to meet you two together.
So do you think we're a good fit
for the monastery?
I meet couples all the time
and, well,
I just think you two
have something special.
But I was excited
to see the ring.
- Oh, um...
- Oh, um,
- we're getting it resized.
- Polished.
- Resized.
- Polished.
Polished and resized.
We always do that.
Well, feel free to let me know
if you need any assistance.
Just so you know,
I will be passing this along
to our events manager.
I'm not gonna be here
on your wedding day.
I'll be on my anniversary
in Aruba.
Did you say Aruba?
I have some great scuba...
Thank you so much.
Um, have a great vacation!
Thank you! We'll be in touch.
- Yes.
- Bye.
You're gonna love
the marine life.
Thanks.
Am I dreaming or did
we really just pull that off?
Well, I can't really say
I'm surprised.
And she won't even be here
on the wedding,
so I can easily switch out fiancs.
I mean, once I get one,
but, you know,
one day at a time.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, looks like I held up
my end of the bargain.
Now you get to illustrate
my book.
Better get to drawing.
Hey, who knows?
Maybe you'll enjoy all this.
Now begins Operation FAF.
- FAF?
- Find a Fianc.
We have T-minus one month
and counting
for Jenny to find a new man,
fall in love,
and convince him to marry her.
I haven't managed that
in my lifetime,
but, you know,
Jenny might get lucky.
The tarot cards predicted it,
so it's going to happen.
Yeah, we just need to give them
a helping hand.
All right,
what if trying so hard
means you meet the wrong man?
What if the cards knew
that we would be here
to help her
and this is their way
of meeting us halfway?
First up, do you have any man
in mind or, uh...
This is the man
I'm going to spend
the rest of my life with.
I don't want just anyone
who will have me.
- I see.
- Give us a rough idea.
Okay, I want a man
who's kind, makes me laugh,
artistic, musical,
knows how to cook,
is a good dresser
but not obsessed with image,
and is fit but doesn't spend
every day at the gym.
Then we'll look for a unicorn.
- Oh.
- No, come on.
This man is out there
and we are going to find him.
Now hit me up
with dating suggestions.
All right, well,
everyone meets on apps
- these days, don't they?
- I don't think
I'm gonna meet a husband
on an app.
I mean, don't you think
they just judge you
off of a two-second glance
at a photo?
We're not ruling anything out.
I'm gonna add nightclubbing.
Is that just because you want me
to go clubbing with you?
No, I think the clientele
at Zinc are very eligible.
Okay, maybe for you.
Next.
Speed dating.
Ooh, spot the Gen Xer.
All right,
it might be old school,
but she can meet a lot of men
in a short amount of time.
Okay, come on, quick-fire.
- Aerobics class.
- Book club.
I've got one.
The dog park.
But I don't have a dog.
Positivity!
Okay, where do I start?
I don't know if an app
is the right place
to meet a husband.
When you keep swiping left,
you're not gonna meet anybody.
Okay, but I don't want to marry
any of these guys.
How would you like it if
somebody judged you like that?
- Come on.
- Okay,
this guy is posing
with a python.
Um, this guy
has a tongue piercing.
- Mm-hm.
- And
this guy looks like
he just got out of prison.
Okay, fair point, but you're
not gonna make any progress
if you don't do a little bit
of action to the right.
I'll show you.
Oh, wait, I can't
even see those guys.
It's like ripping off
a Band-Aid.
Ha, you matched
with all of them.
Oh, okay, well,
what do I do now?
Just chat.
Uh, okay.
Be yourself.
"Hi.
I just saw your profile. I..."
You're not writing
a romantic missive here.
You just say a time, a place.
"Do you want to go on a date
with me?"
Oh, he's typing.
- Got a message.
- That's a start.
Oh.
He just messed up the "you"
in "you're" contraction...
I mean, your, you're.
I can't... I can't do that.
The contraction
is a deal-breaker?
- Uh, well...
- Hold the presses!
The contraction
is a deal-breaker!
It's amazing how you stayed
single this long.
It's so amazing.
Okay, can we please
just do something else?
Like what? You want
to just leave it up to fate?
Yes. Fate. I would like that.
He could be the next guy
that walks through that door.
Okay, fine. Well, I dare you
to ask out the next guy
who walks through that door.
I will.
Okay, well...
- Okay.
- Now we wait.
Oh, he's not bad.
Allow me.
Hi.
- Me?
- Yeah.
I am so sorry to bother you.
- Hello.
- Um, my friend,
she thinks
you're a total sweetheart
and she wants
to have coffee with you,
but she's, like, so shy.
Isn't that cute?
Ooh.
Today, during breakfast,
I landed two yolks in one egg,
and now this.
It's turning out
to be quite a day.
- That's right.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Shall we?
Sure!
Fate.
This weather, right?
Yeah.
Mm.
Oh, I know.
What would be your perfect date?
Like...
What do you, uh,
what do you see?
Nico, I hate to interrupt you.
Um, you seem like
a lovely person,
but I'm just not feeling
a romantic spark between us,
so maybe we should
just be friends?
But your friend said that you...
- He said...
- I'm sorry about that.
Um, it's a little complicated.
Oh, okay, that's okay.
Um, but thank you
for the coffee.
- Oh, you're leaving.
- Yes.
Yeah, sure. Okay.
Thank you for the coffee.
Oh, no, no, you're welcome.
Have a good day.
How did it go with fate?
That wasn't fate, that was you.
Come on, what do you want,
a sign from above?
Oh, um, what were you saying
about fate?
You're going with me.
Oh, I would be honored.
Okay, so I think
I have the essence
of the character down.
I wanted to give Ollie
a little mischief.
You know, he's the type of kid
that you can't help but like
even though he's a pain sometimes.
Um, so what's the verdict?
Uh, yeah, I can tell
you worked really hard on these.
Is that it?
Um, got anything else?
It's just not really
what I had in mind.
You're joking, right?
This is just
your dark sense of humor?
No, no, look,
I think they're great.
It's just, you know,
not what I'm looking for.
What are you looking for?
I don't know, I'll...
know it when I see it.
Well, that's not very helpful.
Look, they're just...
These pictures, they're just...
You can't just do
the words on the page.
It's a book about a kid
who finds gross things.
Oh, okay, I see.
So it's a bad book
and why even try, right?
No.
Look, point is,
you're thinking inside the box.
Oh, and let me guess,
I need to think outside the box.
No! There is no box.
Oh.
Just don't force it.
Hm.
I got an idea.
We're gonna take a field trip.
- A field trip?
- Yeah.
- Where?
- Somewhere
where you're gonna find
a little inspiration.
Pick you up at 8:30.
Wear walking shoes.
So, what exactly
did you have planned?
Welcome to Miami's premier
and only alpaca farm.
And this is gonna help me how?
Stick with me, Jenny Newlove,
all right?
This is gonna be good for you.
Giddy up.
So you want me to draw alpacas?
No.
You're still thinking
too literal.
We are outside the office
right now.
You got to open up your mind.
Yeah, and open up my nose
to new smells.
That's exactly right.
Mm, breathe in that country air,
Jenny Newlove.
Uh-huh.
And, so, what do I do?
Just look at them
and then leave?
No, we are just getting started.
Okay.
Pull.
Can you walk?
I think Barbara likes you.
Well, it's reciprocated.
She's the nicest llama alpaca
I met all day.
Sorry, Kevin, but it's true.
I don't think Kevin minds.
I think he's the strong
and silent type, you know?
Yeah, maybe.
Is this always how you get
your inspiration?
Yeah. Anything that gets
the neurons going.
You know? I'll go
to the art gallery,
I'll go the aquarium,
I'll head down by the river,
spend the day.
Oh, it's okay.
Hm, not what I was expecting.
Oh, why? Because I write books
for cheap laughs?
You don't think I take
my process seriously, huh?
Oh, come on.
Yeah, kinda.
Okay, well, I'll have you know
that the books that I published,
I enjoyed writing, okay?
Oh, so you're a tortured artist.
I'm pragmatic.
I like telling stories
that make kids laugh,
and I just need
to write more books.
Hm.
Why children's books?
I was a grade school teacher.
- Really?
- Okay,
don't act so surprised.
Well, I am surprised
that you were responsible
for children's education.
Okay, I'll have you know
that I was actually
very good at it.
I used to make up stories
all the time.
It's okay.
I used to make up stories,
and I would tell the kids
the stories
and then they would love 'em.
I just knew I needed
to make a switch
when I had more stories
than lessons.
Oh. Do you miss it?
Sometimes, yeah.
But, um, when I write a book
and I get to go
on my publicity tour
and do my readings,
it scratches that itch.
Anyway, I haven't had a hit
in a while,
so kind of got a lot
riding on this book.
And that's where I come in.
Yes.
Laura thinks I should be
more realistic, you know?
That I, um, should go back
to teaching
and I can't live off
my book royalties
for the rest of my life.
- Come on.
- Well, I don't think
you should give up
on your passion.
Yeah?
Like you haven't given up
on your dream wedding?
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
What's that, Barbara?
You want to be a bridesmaid?
Oh, I am so sorry, Barbara,
but I'm actually
not having bridesmaids.
Oh, don't... don't say that
around her.
Okay? She just wants to look
pretty in the photos,
don't you, Barbara?
But, no, no one wants an alpaca
in their wedding.
Actually, Kevin told me
that Barbara goes to weddings
all the time.
She's constantly
guilt-tripping people
into inviting her.
Barbara!
And you had me feeling sorry
for you.
You little manipulative alpaca.
Who knew?
So, um, I think
it would be a shame
to not get the sketchpad out.
I mean, you draw, right?
You did all the other art
for your other books.
I draw, yes.
I just kinda have...
my style's
more of a DIY aesthetic.
Well, I think Kevin
and Barbara need a portrait.
Don't you?
Okay, yeah, I guess I do.
Okay, are you ready
for the quickdraw
alpaca portrait challenge?
Bring it on, Jenny Newlove.
Okay. You have 60 seconds.
All right.
Okay. Wait! Hold on.
What? I need more time!
Okay, go.
- Stop. Stop cheating!
- Okay, okay, all right.
Hold my hand
Are you posing for us, Barbara?
Shine the light
Till the darkness lifts
Oh.
No!
Hold me up
so I don't look weak
Okay. Time's up.
Really hope I got
Barbara's best side.
Oh, I hope that you did
because she will be
very upset if you didn't.
- Yeah.
- All right, ready?
- Reveal on three.
- Okay.
- One, two, three!
- Three, two, one, now!
What...
That's, um... cute.
Okay, wait.
You did not just draw that
in 60 seconds.
Where is the...
You've been working on that
for a week.
Where's the one you just drew?
This is it.
Wow.
Just... wow.
I mean, the lines are still
a little bit messed up.
It's just a little sketch.
No, you're...
seriously so talented.
Thank you. Bye, Kevin!
Thanks for being
such a good walking partner.
Aw, I'm gonna miss that girl.
They're really a good example
to us all, you know?
- Such a tight couple.
- Yeah.
Um, thanks for taking me today.
I actually enjoyed it.
I did too. Thank you for
being... open-minded.
Yeah.
And now I get to go home and
get dressed for speed dating.
Hey, maybe if you're lucky
you can find your own Kevin.
Uck, I could only dream.
Um, what are you doing tonight?
Laura's flying into town
from New York.
We have a couple days together.
That's nice.
I know long distance
relationships are hard.
Yeah, well, you just
have to, you know,
make the most out of
the time you have together.
You have to.
Yeah.
You don't need to rush
the sketches.
Just take your time and...
let your magic happen.
I'm still not quite sure
what all that
was supposed to be about
but, um, yeah, sure.
This is exciting!
Your future husband could be
somewhere in this room.
The competition looks fierce.
Oh, come on, they've got
nothing on you.
I don't need to date ten men,
I just need to date him.
- What?
- I said I don't need
to date ten men,
I just need to date him.
Okay, that is mortifying.
Oh, come on,
it's totally working,
he's checking you out.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Gosh, he'd make
a beautiful husband.
- Aiden!
- What?
I can't believe you talked
me into this!
You know, for someone
who doesn't want to be here,
you sure have made
quite the effort.
It's just my normal
weekday evening attire.
Okay, so how does this
work again?
Did you download the app for
the event? I sent you the link.
- Yeah.
- I did it yesterday.
Oh, well, great.
Uh, let's see.
We'll each have ten dates,
five minutes each date.
After each date,
you pick yay or nay in the app.
And then...
Well, if you match.
Oh, if we like each other,
it's a match?
- Yes, exactly.
- Okay.
So if you both like each other,
then you see the other person's
contact info
and you're one step closer
to finding
your future life partner.
Okay.
- Well, hello.
- Oh!
- Oh, hi.
- Oh, nice company.
Second date.
- That's right.
- Don't worry.
You look fabulous.
Thanks.
- Second date?
- Oh, uh, don't ask.
Oh.
I know there are folks who
get creeped out by taxidermy,
but what better way
to respect an animal
than to preserve its body
forever?
I've never thought about it
like that.
I have 30 branches
around the state.
The plan long term
is to step back in 7-10 years.
Wow.
Well, that is fantastic.
Unbelievable.
Who did your nails?
These are a work of art.
Thank you.
You should see my wolf.
He's magnificent.
Everybody,
it's time to mix it up.
Go ahead and move on
to the next table,
and who knows, you might
just be five minutes away
from finding true love.
Welcome.
- Hi.
- I know you.
Hey, hey, hey, this is date 6
and check out this babe! Oh!
I wanna see all my followers
give me a heart emoji
if you think I should
give her my number.
Do you know that in '98
I released the best-selling
album in Bosnia?
Yeah, one week...
No, two weeks #1.
Well, then I'd say 1998
was a very good year for you.
Wait, say hey to my followers.
Oh, wow.
If you don't find
anybody tonight,
then hey, you could
always hit me up.
I'm recently divorced
and have a sweet apartment
in my mom's basement.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Jenny.
Thank you for not
livestreaming our date.
All right, lovebirds,
if you like who you're with,
you can always mark 'em
on the app
but it's time to move on
to the next table.
So?
Wait, this is weird.
Oh, come on, don't knock it.
I'm the best you had all night.
Oh, wait.
Oh no, dreamboat
turned into a speedboat.
I only had one date left.
Is he trying that badly
to avoid me?
Oh, that can't be.
He's the only one
I wanted to talk to.
Honey, I'm so sorry.
Hey, it's that time again.
Time's up with your lovebirds.
Move on to the next table.
And find your future mate.
Or not.
Or maybe you're just
standing there alone.
If you haven't found anybody,
it's, uh... it's time
to take a look inside.
This new artist, how's it going?
Pretty good, I think.
Does this mean you have to share
the royalties with her though?
Yeah.
If the book does well,
we both benefit.
What if it doesn't?
I'm not really thinking
like that, Laura.
All I mean is
you could always
go back to teaching.
Yeah, maybe I will.
I know writing is your passion
but it's a regular income,
which is important.
Look, Laura, can we just
see how this book goes first?
I'm just being realistic.
But hey...
it's great to be
in the same room for once.
Yeah, you can say that again.
Who's that?
Nobody, it's just a friend.
The manuscript's
at the printer's right now
and we expect to have about
10,000 copies ready to ship
by the end of the week.
Okay.
Uh, that's great.
Thank you. Can I help?
I'm calling a team meeting.
I'm in the middle of something.
You're a core member.
Okay, so app dating was a no-go
and speed dating was...
No. You do not need
to relive that, okay?
You just need to feel the burn
and move on with your life.
Oh, right, sure,
everyone come in,
it's just my office.
It's not like I have work to do.
Hey, sorry, I was just
dropping off that contract
at the front desk
but no one was there.
Oh, I wonder why that is.
We need a plan to find
Jenny a husband, and fast.
The more heads the better.
Come on.
Clara, you were right.
Forcing the idea
just isn't happening.
So let me get this straight.
You want to go out of your way
to meet a man to marry
in just a few weeks
but without trying?
Yeah, exactly.
I'm waiting for serendipity
to happen.
Well, serendipity
can't be planned.
Okay, but let's just think of it
as creating an atmosphere
for serendipity to happen.
What about the food hall
downtown?
No, I think I would just feel
like I was picking a guy up.
Isn't that exactly
what you're doing?
It needs to be an environment
where love can flourish.
Hmm!
A class might work.
Actually, I have an idea.
I've been taking
a mindfulness class
at the art gallery
down by the waterfront.
I hadn't realized you were
in touch with your inner zen.
Yeah, well, I've had
some spare time on my hands
with Laura in New York.
Anyway, point is,
there's some single guys
in the class
if you want to come
check it out.
That is really good thinking.
Calmness is an excellent
quality in a husband.
You wanna check it out with me?
Yeah. It's worth a try.
Hey, did you get any inspiration
from the llama and alpaca?
Oh, I actually did.
I have some new sketches,
maybe you could pick me up later
and we could go over them?
Yeah! Absolutely.
I'll see you later tonight.
- Great.
- Okay. I'll go.
Great seeing everybody.
Alpacas?
Oh, yeah, don't ask.
That class sounds hot...
Why are you still here?
- Sorry.
- Oh, sorry.
Okay, I know that the sketches
are a little bit rough
but just maybe imagine them
with color.
Uh, yeah, no,
just can you soften
the background a little bit?
I just want the characters
to pop more.
Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
Um, anything else?
No, these are incredible.
- Really?
- Yes! Yes.
This is the exact level of
warmth I was telling you about.
Okay, great.
Well, I'll work on getting
some more polished sketches together.
All right.
You sure you still wanna put
your name on my crumby book?
Yeah. I think it's good
to be challenged in a new way.
Hm. Challenged, huh?
Yeah, I think you and my
girlfriend would agree,
I am kind of challenging,
aren't I?
I don't mean it
in a personal way.
You've actually
not been as annoying
as I thought you were gonna be.
Oh, not as annoying as you
thought I was gonna be, huh?
I should put that on the back
of my book.
You know what I mean.
Mm-hm.
So, if I didn't help you
at the Spanish monastery,
would you really have
walked away from all this?
Yeah. I think so.
It's important to do things wholeheartedly.
I mean, otherwise,
what's the point? You know?
But I will admit,
it has been good
to try something different.
Yeah.
Well, hey, at least you didn't
hate the whole process.
Okay, that is actually
what you can put
on the back of the book.
"Jenny Newlove did not hate
illustrating this story."
Oh. Yeah, I think with a
ringing endorsement like that,
it'll actually fly
right off the shelves.
Oh sh**t, the mindfulness class.
I think it's about to start,
we should go, right?
Um, right.
Yes, that is starting soon,
so yeah, let's go.
These are so good.
I had a wise grams
when I was an awkward teenager.
Ohh, a wise grams.
Yeah.
I was an emo kid.
I was all fringe and eyeliner.
And I used to get upset
when the girls didn't
like me back,
so she would make me
take my headphones out
and she would say to me,
"Happiness is like a butterfly.
If you chase it, it'll fly away,
but if you sit still,
it might just...
land on your shoulder."
Hm.
That's really sweet.
Yeah.
The last thing I wanted
to hear at the time,
but the older I get
the more I realize that
she was right.
- What?
- Nothing.
You're just... different
than I thought you would be.
Different?
- Mm-hm.
- In a good way?
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to tonight's class.
I see some familiar faces here
in the back.
This guy's great.
Nice to see you.
And, uh, I see some newbies.
Hi. Welcome.
Hi.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
I'm gonna give you guys
a minute to, uh,
get situated and get comfortable
and then we'll get started.
Okay?
What is he doing here?
Who, Blake?
He runs the whole gallery
and the wellness class.
- What? Do you know him?
- No, he's just a guy
that definitely wasn't attracted
to me at speed dating.
It's so embarrassing.
Okay, just tell me
about the single guys.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
That's Marcel.
Quiet, but super cool guy.
Works construction.
He went to Haiti this past year,
built a whole hospital.
- That's so nice.
- Right?
And that,
that guy right over there,
- Harris.
- Okay.
He's been divorced
a couple years
but it's totally amicable.
He and his wife
were high school sweethearts
and the marriage
had run its course.
Okay, great.
So both have potential.
- Hmm.
- Um, what do I do now?
What do you mean?
We're in the middle
of a mindfulness class.
I can't just walk up to 'em
and say,
"Hey, I know you're
looking for inner peace
but would you take me
for a drink?"
I don't...
You're new here, just strike up
some conversation.
Ask for advice.
Ask for advice, yeah.
Okay.
You're not moving.
This is nerve-wracking, okay?
I'm psyching myself up.
Just hold on.
Breathe in calm,
breath out tension.
Jenny?
You are talking
to another human being, okay?
You don't need to
pump yourself up
to get a cup of coffee, do you?
No.
Look, I mean this
in a very platonic way
but you're an attractive woman,
you're funny, you're kind,
you're cool,
you got a great personality,
and you're talented.
I mean, talking to these guys,
it's gonna be the highlight
of their week.
Okay?
Come on, you got this.
- Gosh.
- Right? Now get in there.
Let's go. Come on.
Come on! Let's see it.
Jenny! Jenny! Jenny! Jenny!
Okay. Just give me a...
Shh. Stop it.
- I'm not even here.
- Great. Shh. Shh!
Hey!
I'm new to this whole
mindfulness baloney...
Well, that's the wrong word.
I am all for mindfulness
and being present
and in the moment,
I've just never been
present with people before.
I mean, I have definitely been
in a room with people before,
I just haven't been, you know,
in a mindful...
Oh my... I am so sorry!
Hey, no... no harm done,
it's okay.
- Was that expensive?
- Uh...
Oh gosh, it was expensive,
wasn't it?
Yeah, maybe... maybe it was.
I'm sorry.
Hey, have we...
met you before?
I feel like I've met you before.
Mm-mm. No.
Uh, no, I just have
a familiar face. Uh...
Speed dating, right?
Yeah. Uh, guilty.
I was the girl you were
trying desperately to avoid.
Oh, no, I wasn't trying
to avoid you at all, no.
Really?
Well, then why didn't you stay
till the end?
I had to come here actually.
Our alarm went off
and we have some kind
of expensive stuff here
in the gallery
so I had to just come back
and make sure everything
was okay.
Oh, um, well, was it?
Yeah, the alarm's just
a little sensitive sometimes.
But you know, when I got back
to the bar,
I was disappointed because...
they told me you already left.
Really?
Yeah, you were...
the only woman
I was interested in there.
Oh.
Really?
I have to do this class.
But you should
totally come back sometime
and, uh, I'll give you
a private tour.
That... that would be great.
Excellent.
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
Mm-hm.
Um, okay, everyone.
Hey!
You seem different.
I don't know what you mean.
Hmm.
It's not your hair.
That look is the same arty chic.
I've got it.
You're loved up.
No, no, no,
you're gliding around
like you're in some sort
of little cloud or something.
Okay, I think "loved up"
is a little bit strong.
I want to know everything.
Okay.
I have a date
with the dreamboat.
The dreamboat?
The dreamboat. Dreamboat!
Oh, dreamboat! Yeah.
Yes, I saw him last night
at the class with Tyler.
The whole speed dating thing,
that was just a mix-up.
Uh, what's his name?
Blake Whitlock.
Why?
I have to do my due diligence.
Let's see.
No red flags on his profile.
No questionable
political opinions.
Last year, he did a triathlon
to raise money
for a child literacy project.
Oh, uh, he can play
the piano. Cool.
He likes David Bowie.
Way cool.
It seems like he can dance.
It's like someone
went inside my mind
and made this perfect man.
I mean,
this is actually happening!
You're getting married, baby.
Okay, well, maybe I should
go on the date first
before I just get carried away.
Blake has to be the one.
Well, yeah, I hope so.
I'm running outta time.
So this is actually
my favorite part of the gallery.
We have some really
special painters here.
Mondrian, Moreau, Chagall.
Oh, Chagall.
Yeah. He's my favorite
and "The Lovers" is
my favorite piece that he has.
And I've been trying
to get it here
but it's actually
on tour right now in Europe,
so no luck.
It's my favorite too.
- Is it?
- Mm-hm.
Oh.
Is everything okay?
Oh, um... couldn't be better.
Great.
You know, I'm really glad that
you're enjoying the gallery.
Yeah, I am too.
Um... you know, if you wanted
to ask me to dinner,
I might say yes.
- Might?
- Mm-hm.
I mean, I can't
promise anything, but...
Okay, um...
if you can't promise it,
then I'm just gonna go ahead
and take the risk.
Would you like to go
to dinner with me?
Firm yes.
Great.
Do you wanna see
the rest of the gallery?
Sure. Let's continue.
Let's go this way.
Oh.
- Hey!
- Hey.
Uh, wow.
You look great.
Oh, thanks.
I just got back
from a date with you-know-who.
Oh, yeah.
- Um, how'd it go? Good?
- Great.
We already have
our second date in the books,
so I don't know, I think it
might actually be happening.
That's amazing.
Oh, I do need a little bit more
time with the sketches though.
I know, I'm sorry.
You know we have this meeting
coming with Clara, right?
It won't take me long.
Jenny, I can't afford
to wait around for this.
I need this book
to hit the shelves.
I totally get it.
All right.
I know you're busy with
this wedding and everything.
Yeah.
So how's it going with Blake?
You think he's gonna be the one?
I don't know, maybe!
I mean, we have so much
in common,
I'm super relaxed
when I'm around him
and I mean, you've seen him.
He is not unattractive.
Woo.
Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, I guess if we're
not gonna do this,
I'll take off.
Laura's coming into town
from New York tonight
and I want to do something
extra special, so.
Oh, that's so nice.
She's a lucky lady.
When is she moving back?
Soon. Hopefully.
Nice.
Well, um, I'll see you later.
Great seeing...
you look incredible.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
See ya.
Tyler, I'm so sorry.
You're not in Miami.
I had an important work meeting.
It ran over.
I missed
the four o'clock flight.
Okay. Do you want me
to come to New York?
We're in the middle
of a big project.
I'm gonna have to work
all weekend anyways.
Yeah.
Listen, Laura.
We gotta talk about
where this is headed.
Yeah. I think it's time.
Wow.
Great.
Was I right or was I right?
- Yes!
- You think we're ready
to send to the printer?
I think we're ready to push on.
Great job, you guys.
I mean... I knew you'd
make a great team.
Yeah.
Um...
so I've been thinking
about what Jenny said to me
the first day we met,
about my writing.
Gosh, you must have thought
I was so arrogant.
No, no, no.
I think you're passionate
and uncompromising
and... hanging out with you
has made me realize
that I've been settling
for second best
in more ways than one.
She has that effect on people.
What I'm trying to say is...
um... things have happened recently
and I've had a perspective shift
and I want to write a new book
and I want to challenge myself
to write something
that's gonna be honest
and meaningful.
I think that's a great idea.
Well, um...
I was hoping you'd want
to work on it with me.
I'd love to see what
you could come up with
on a project that
you actually care about.
Yeah, I'd... I'd...
I'd really love that.
Did you have anything in mind?
Um, I'm toying around
with a couple different ideas.
Well, you should do a book about
your grandmother's butterfly.
You know, the one that
flies around the world,
spreading happiness
to everybody.
Well, only those
who don't chase it.
Yes. That's exactly
what we'll do.
- Right?
- God, you're a genius.
Oh, well, I don't know
if you should say "genius,"
but if you want
to use that word...
Right.
Project Butterfly.
I like it.
I'm very excited to see
where this could go.
Hey! Sorry, I don't mean to just
pop in on you like this
but I was in the area,
thought I'd bring you lunch.
How sweet of you!
Can I bring 'em in?
Oh, um...
If right now's a bad time,
I totally get it,
- I can come...
- Um, no, no, no. No.
Uh, come in, come in.
Oh, great.
All right.
Are you sure right now
isn't a bad time?
Oh, it's actually great.
I'm really hungry,
so this is perfect.
Okay, there are plates
back there?
No.
That's not the kitchen?
It is the kitchen
but it's really messy.
I'm not gonna judge.
It's totally...
You... you... you just stay
right here
and I will be right back.
Okay.
One second!
Are you sure everything's
okay in here?
- Um, yeah. It's raccoons.
- I'm sorry, what?
Oh, they just get into the trash
and the noise...
Do you need me to help?
They don't like loud noises,
so yeah, it's all good,
they're gone now.
Oh, okay.
Um, let's just go into...
the living room.
Um, those bagels look delicious.
So yeah, I've been in Miami
for five years now
and I love it here.
There's a great music scene,
there's never been more
foot traffic at the gallery.
It's great.
That's great.
I'm just surprised we haven't
run into each other before.
I know. Fate works
in mysterious ways, right?
It really does, doesn't it?
Is that the book
you've been working on?
Oh.
Wow. The...
The art in here
is... amazing.
Seriously, really, really good.
Thank you.
The writing's
a little hacky though,
I have to say.
How did this guy
get you on board?
Oh no, he's actually
really good.
He really knows the market.
Okay, to each their own,
I guess.
I just... I think
you can do better, that's all.
Oh, uh, well, we're working
on a new book.
It has a very different tone.
Oh.
Oh, geez, I gotta get back.
I have a meeting
this afternoon. Sorry.
Oh, sounds exciting.
Well, thank you again for lunch.
It was a pleasure.
Hey, I'm really glad that fate
brought us together eventually.
I am too.
Message me, okay?
Let's do this again soon.
- Mm-hm.
- Oh, and, uh,
you should really have
an exterminator come out here
and have a look
at those raccoons.
Whole thing.
- Right.
- See ya.
Okay, bye!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
- Hello?
- Hey, so, um,
I was thinking about the book
and, um, so it could be a series
and in each story
there's a different child
going through a difficult
situation in their lives.
Uh, yeah. I like it.
Yeah, and then the butterfly
is with them
the whole way through
but they don't see it
and then in the end,
it sits on their shoulder
and they realize
that whatever it was
they thought that
they were going through,
it's in the past now
and they're through it.
What do you think?
Um, yeah, it sounds good,
um, but, listen,
it's getting late and I have
a date with Blake tomorrow,
so, um, do you mind
if we get back to this?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, bye.
I do too!
Scrambled eggs in the morning.
Yes.
You know, I've really enjoyed
exploring the market with you,
but, uh, all day there's been
something else on my mind.
Oh, really?
Well, um,
maybe you should tell me
because maybe it's been
on my mind too.
I'm thinking
it probably has been.
The one time when you almost
destroyed a $10,000 sculpture.
Oh my gosh, $10,000?
I'm so sorry.
No, it's totally fine.
I'm glad you saved it.
But actually that's not
what I've been thinking
about all day.
Oh, um...
I... I think
I left my phone inside.
Yes, I... could you maybe
go look for it?
I... I'm so sorry,
I'll take a look here.
And you... okay, thanks.
Sorry.
Gosh.
Hi!
Jenny, hi!
Hi!
How are you?
I'm great.
Great.
I'm just picking up
a few last-minute items
before my trip.
How's the prep going?
Oh, um, it's great.
There was a couple issues,
but everything's
getting ironed out,
so it should be good.
Glad to hear it.
And Tyler's good?
- Yes!
- Is he with you?
Oh, he is actually diving,
you know, another expedition.
- Oh, busy guy.
- Mm-hm!
Well, anyways,
good luck with everything.
You too, have a great vacation.
- Thank you so much.
- Okay, bye.
I'm really sorry, it was gone
by the time I got back there.
Oh, it's fine,
don't even worry about it.
Oh, okay, well, you should
at least call the provider
and have 'em freeze it up
for you.
Oh, okay.
Oh!
I am such a scatterbrain.
I... I am so sorry.
I must have had it on me
the whole time.
That's okay, that's okay.
I'm just glad it back.
Thank you for checking on it, really.
You're my hero.
No worries.
Um...
Should we keep looking around?
- Sure.
- Okay.
You are so lucky you're cute.
All right, calling her again.
Let's just start without her.
Right.
Your new book.
Yeah.
Well, I love it.
Really?
It's on a different level
than anything else
you've ever written.
I mean,
at the heart of the story,
there's a sadness and a truth,
but ultimately it teaches
that patience has a reward
greater than any quick fix.
That's exactly
what I was going for.
So you think this is
a good direction for me?
Most books end up
in a grocery bargain bin.
This one is going to sit
on kids' shelves
for a really long time.
Has Jenny read it?
Uh, I sent it to her,
but she's been busy.
She said she was gonna
call you yesterday.
Yeah, well, one word: Blake.
- Does she know?
- Know what?
That you and Laura broke up.
What does that have to do
with anything?
Because you like her.
I don't like her.
We're collaborators,
and she's happy with Blake.
What kind of name
is that anyways? Blake?
I mean, he sounds like a cheesy,
corny soap opera actor.
Right.
So you're not jealous
at all then.
Jealous of Blake?
Blake.
No, I'm not jealous of Blake.
Okay.
What?
I am so close
I can almost taste the canaps.
I just might need your help
with one little challenge.
I knew it!
The bachelorette party.
Okay, not quite,
but this could be as fun.
Go on.
The wedding is a week away.
Blake is the one.
He has to be.
He just might need
a little help realizing it.
And so this is where we come in.
Just drop a few hints.
Tell him not to move so slow
and, I don't know,
maybe proposing
would be a good idea.
You are a 21st century woman.
You could ask him.
I don't want to be desperate.
Really, honey, 'cause I hate
to break it to you...
Okay, I know you two can do it.
Come on, we're so close.
We'll do our best.
Have you read
Tyler's manuscript yet?
It's really special.
Oh, is it?
I knew he had it in him.
But no,
I haven't had a chance yet.
Well, at least give him a call.
He's been trying
to get a hold of you.
I will. I will call.
Good luck.
Is it a display
or a fruit stand?
Oh, I think it has something
to do with gravity.
- Oh, hey, guys.
- Hi.
Uh, is, uh,
Jenny not with you today or...
Oh, no, she's... she's hard
at work in her studio.
And making the magic happen.
We had the afternoon off,
so we thought we'd stop by,
take a look around.
This is...
Interesting piece.
It is, right?
We feel that by placing everyday
items on display like this,
it makes people see them
in a whole different light.
- Oh.
- Appreciate the art
behind these objects, you know?
So like the smoothness
of the peel,
the vibrancy of the red
of this apple, you know?
I was just explaining this
to Clara,
but she doesn't get it.
She's a philistine.
It's easy to be cynical
about art. I get it.
But, um, why don't I
show you guys around,
and, um, by the time we're done
with the tour of this place,
you're gonna see it
in a whole different light.
Well, that would be great, thanks.
I'm not a philistine.
Oh, and speaking of Jenny, actually,
and she would hate it
if I said this,
but she hasn't been this happy
with a man in a long time.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, I really like her too.
She's a beautiful person.
She's had a lot
of short-term relationships.
Yeah, but nothing
seems to stick.
I think she'd really love it
if this one went the distance.
You know, if you were
to become more serious,
I think it would be
really good for her.
Yeah, you can't move too fast
with her,
that's all we're saying.
Okay, are you guys just dropping
not-so-subtle hints right now,
is that... is that
what's going on here?
It's just that, um,
Jenny's our friend,
and we want what's best for her,
and you're a really big part
of that, Blake.
Okay.
Let's have a look over here.
I know we've only
known each other
for a short period of time, right?
Go on.
But I think we have something
really special here.
I do too.
And when you hit your 30s,
there's just no point
in taking things slowly.
So...
I have something
really important
that I want to ask you.
Will you...
move to Paris with me?
Oh, I... I didn't want
to say anything until now
'cause I thought it was gonna
cast a shadow over things.
Paris?
Yeah, I've been offered a job
managing a gallery
right off the Champs-lyses.
It's a dream job,
and I have to leave tomorrow,
but if you want to come with me,
I'll book you a seat
on the flight.
I can't fly to Paris
in two days.
What?
Did you know about this
and not tell me?
I am telling you right now.
I don't...
I don't want us to be over.
I thought you were
gonna propose.
Oh, gosh.
I mean, do you have to go?
Yeah.
It's a huge opportunity for me,
and I've already signed a lease
on an apartment.
I can't... I can't just turn
this opportunity down, Jenny.
We're supposed to get married
in two days.
Did you think we were gonna go
to Vegas or something?
- No.
- Okay, so how
were we gonna get married
in two days then?
I booked a wedding.
I'm sorry. What?
I was supposed to get married
on my 35th birthday.
A fortune teller predicted it.
I thought that asking you
to come to Paris with me
was rushing things,
but marriage after
just a couple weeks?
But I've fallen for you.
You sure?
Or maybe you just
wanted it so bad
that you convinced yourself
of that.
Jenny, I like you,
but you have
to tell me something.
Did you have
this whole thing planned out
when you met me?
Yeah, yeah, that's...
That is too much.
It's like everything
that we had wasn't real.
No, it was. It was real.
You kept this from me
the entire time.
And...
And now I think it's time
for us to go our separate ways.
I'm really sorry
this didn't go how you planned.
No, just...
Oh, um, hi.
Hey. You haven't been answering
my calls or emails.
I just wanted to make sure
you have that.
Um, yeah, thanks.
Clara said it was really great.
Yeah, so, you haven't read it.
I'm sorry, I just haven't
gotten the chance yet.
Yeah, just don't say it.
It's really not a great time.
When is?
I get it.
You wanted me to help you
with your wedding,
but you never wanted
to work with me.
No, that's not it.
I didn't in the beginning,
but... but... but now I do.
Why do I feel like
I'm alone in this?
I'm sorry, I've just had
other things going on.
Yeah.
And don't we all know it.
You know, you live
in this fantasy world
where you think that all
the cosmos and all the planets,
they just revolve
all around you.
What about everybody else?
Huh?
What about all the people
that... that don't have love,
that aren't gonna have
the perfect wedding?
Was that their fortune
that was just laid out for them,
but Jenny Newlove
gets everything that she wants?
I mean, is that really
how you think the world spins?
Oh, okay, so you were fine
to play along
when it worked for you.
I worked really hard
on Ollie Slick, even though...
You thought it was dumb.
I wasn't gonna say that, okay?
But now you put your heart
into something
and you want me to just
drop everything and say,
"Good for you, Tyler."
Great. Congrats.
You know, you made me
believe in myself and I did.
And I thought we could make
something special together,
and I just wanted
to share that with you.
I'm sorry.
Fine.
Let's just drop it.
Forget about it.
Tyler.
Oh, honey.
Goodness.
Now that it's all over,
I just realize
what a fool I've been.
Don't say that.
I mean, it's okay,
you can laugh.
It's kind of funny, I guess.
No one's laughing.
You even had me believing.
We both wanted this
to work out so much.
Can you still make a go of it
with Blake?
I mean, forget the wedding.
I don't know.
I think I was just trying
to force something
that wasn't even there.
And now I've upset Tyler.
I mean, he doesn't even want
anything to do with me.
You tell the venue yet?
No.
I need to go over
and tell them in person.
I mean, they've put so much
hard work into this wedding.
I... I feel awful.
No, no, it's okay.
Actually,
why don't we go with you?
We've been with you
since the beginning.
We might as well see this
through to the end.
Thank you.
Oh, I do have one more favor
to ask of you though, Aiden.
What?
You got this.
Are those from Clara? Sit here.
Jenny, actually.
She asked me to get these to you
as soon as I could.
Oh, um...
We're not working
on the book anymore.
That's not what she thinks.
She's busy.
She's starting her marriage
with the perfect man.
You don't know.
The wedding's off.
Blake's on a plane
to Paris as we speak.
He had his chance with
the best woman in the world
and he blew it.
When did all this happen?
Yesterday afternoon.
I need to show these to you.
She was up half the night
working on them.
Why didn't she tell me?
Now I've got everything on USB.
I spoke to the editor.
She's ready
to put pictures to words
and words to pictures.
That is, if you still want
to move forward
with this project?
This is stunning.
Now I see why you wanted
to get married here so much.
I know.
But one day,
when you have a wedding,
blow this out of the water.
Maybe.
Oh, it will.
I was just so certain
that Madam Lotus' predictions
would come true.
Like night follows day,
I would wake up
on my 35th birthday
and marry the most perfect man.
And now, my future's
just such a mystery.
Well, that's not a bad thing.
Yeah, but think
of all those years
that I took for granted,
thinking that love was
just written in the stars.
Oh, um, excuse me,
do you know where
the events manager is?
Oh, thanks.
Jenny, you're already loved
so much.
Think about all the people
that came to Miami
to celebrate with you.
Right, and now
I'm gonna have to tell them
that I wasted their time.
Not necessarily.
I mean,
it is still your birthday.
You hired out
this spectacular venue.
It'd be a shame
to see it all go to waste.
It would be quite
the extravagant birthday party.
Why do you only get
to pull out all the stops
when a man is involved?
Why don't we celebrate you?
And all the love
people have for you?
Be right back.
Oh!
Hm.
This is exciting.
What? What is it?
The wedding, it's still on.
But it's a birthday party, right?
So cool.
Oh my God, fantastic.
Except now I've got
so much to do.
Whew.
You just need to change.
Oh, oh my goodness,
you were serious.
You're so sweet. No, this
is not an accident, honey.
You should come.
Oh, uh,
I don't really think Jenny
wants to see me right now.
That woman put her heart
and soul into those drawings.
Come to the party.
You might enjoy yourself.
You look incredible.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Blake really missed out.
Aw, thank you.
You look great.
Oh, pfsh, this?
Come on.
I'm so excited.
You should be.
It's your big day.
We've gotta share a drink
or something.
Hello!
Right? Hey, guys.
Yes, everything...
Mom!
Hi.
Dad.
Hey.
Oh.
I'm so glad you guys came.
Really sorry to interrupt,
but if you knew
about this mind-blowing gossip
and didn't tell me,
I do not even know you.
No, I did not know.
So, we need to, um,
talk about all this.
I believe
you've already met Nico.
Are you two...
Um, I'm a very lucky man.
Would never have even met him
if it wasn't for you.
Speed dating.
Well, hey,
at least you met somebody.
Well, this is great though, right?
I know.
I can't believe everybody came.
They came for you,
'cause they love you.
You know that, right?
Well, I do now.
Um, I am very thirsty.
Let's just please
get some champagne.
- Champagne.
- Yes, yes indeed.
Okay.
Go ahead.
- You look good.
- You too, baby.
Thank you.
Happy birthday!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh hoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's to the future
Here's to
the future
Uh, lately I've been
a little preoccupied in my life
looking for the one to love
that I forgot,
I have so many people already
who I love so much
and who also love me back.
So I'm very, very, very thankful
to have you guys all here
to celebrate my birthday.
You know, I met someone recently
who had a big impact on my life,
more than I realized until now.
And he told me that happiness
is like a butterfly.
If you chase it, it'll fly away.
But if you sit still...
it might land
on your shoulder.
And I think my butterfly
has finally landed.
And I hope it lands
on all of you too.
So, please raise a glass
to the butterfly.
To the butterfly!
Everybody have so much fun!
- Hey.
- Hey.
I didn't know you were coming.
Well, I was waiting
for your present to be ready.
Me?
Yeah.
Open it, yes.
Thank you.
I love it.
Hey, um...
Could you go outside
with me for a minute?
Yes.
Sure.
Sorry.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
If I would have known, I, um...
No, I'm... I'm sorry.
We had a deal,
and I didn't hold up
on my end of the bargain.
I am, I'm sorry.
I'm glad you didn't scrap
your book idea though.
Yeah, me too.
Where's Laura?
You should have brought her.
Um...
We broke up.
What? Why? What happened?
The distance was more
than just geography.
Oh.
Um...
Well, I'm... I'm sorry anyway.
Ah, don't be.
Um, that relationship
had been ending for a long time.
I just never
really realized it until, uh...
Until I started spending time
with you.
You make me happy, Jenny,
and excited,
and everything feels right
when I'm with you.
And when I'm not with you...
I miss you.
I wish I knew
you felt that way sooner.
Really?
Yes.
I've spent the last few weeks
just laughing,
and, I don't know,
sometimes when
we were pretending
that you were my fianc,
I kind of wished you were.
Well...
You were with Blake.
And you seemed happy.
And I didn't want to be the one
to ruin that.
I guess the timing was all off.
Well, how's the timing now?
Seems perfect.
Come on.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Wondered where you'd got to.
Mom, Dad, um...
Hi.
Clint, Meredith.
I've heard so much
about you guys.
Wait a second.
You haven't introduced
your parents to your fianc?
Um, not quite.
Um, it's a long story.
Why don't we leave them alone?
Looks like they're in the middle
of a beautiful
new collaboration.
We'll be right in.
One sec.
Um, where were we?
Here I think.
