Date Whisperer, The (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Oh, you've never been to Alaska?

- Mm-mm.

- My favorite is Juneau.

The hiking is incredible.

You have to get up there.

It's amazing, like, breathtaking.

Ugh.

They have these pine forests

that seem so dense.

Ugh, you're so dense.

But then, when the sun hits just right,

it creates these ribbons of light.

Seriously, "ribbons."

- It's...

- Mm, gross?

Perfect.

Wow.

This has been...

really nice.

- You're...

- Mm, lame? Boring?

Gini, did you hear that story

about his mom

embarrassing him with baby photos?

Clearly, loads of family trauma there.

Amazing.

"Amazing."

What? No. No, Gini.

This one is going to dump you

like a sack of potatoes

the minute his mom disses your cooking.

I'm sorry. This one's a dud.

We should do this again sometime.

Fat chance.

- I would...

- I'd love to.

What? No.

No, no, no, no, Gini.

Gini, I'm your date whisperer,

and I'm telling you

that this clingy mama's boy is bad news.

- You look beautiful.

- I do?

Ooh.

Oh, you do not know

where those lips have been.

Gini, uh-uh.

Could you excuse me for a second?

Yes.

Sam,

what are you doing?

I'm eating trail mix.

This is the best date

I've had in months!

You're supposed to be helping me.

You're supposed to be the best

date whisperer there is.

Why are you ruining this?

Ru... no, Gini.

I'm saving you. He's awful.

No, you're awful.

And you're also fired.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Gini, Gini, Gini,

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

Let's just give this a...

No, Gini!

Another one, Sam?

What happened this time?

Well, I mean, he kept

talking about wanting to

take her to the pine forest

in some mountains somewhere.

I mean, what if he was a serial k*ller,

and she was his next victim?

I might have just saved her life.

He's a park ranger.

Yeah, but you know anyone can

say they're a park ranger.

This isn't a joke, Sam.

This is your job.

People come to us, rely on us

to help them through

their first few crucial dates.

Love and Whispers has built a reputation

on being the best of the best

in live date coaching,

and you, Sam, you were our top whisperer.

What happened?

I know your parents

splitting up has been hard.

But you've got to pull yourself together.

I know. I know.

I know.

Breanna, I am...

I really am so sorry.

One more chance, Sam.

And if your next client doesn't connect

with the person of their dreams

within our standard three dates,

I'm going to have no choice

but to fire you.

- Fired?

- Mm-hmm.

But you are the best

whisperer that we have.

Ah, yeah. No, was.

Yeah, she made that painfully clear.

- OK, so what are you gonna do?

- I don't know, Jen.

I... I can't afford to lose

this job, but it's like,

I can't shake off this funk, you know?

It's like, I just I...

I see myself out there,

and I'm just like tearing into these guys,

and I'm just like, "Sam, no!"

Wait. OK, so confusion.

Are you like trapped in a well

in this scenario and just...

No, not a well. I was...

I was going for, like,

a slow motion thing,

like, "Sam, no."

Oh.

Oh, like... so you like, "Sam."

OK, stop.

Jen, what am I gonna do about this?

Um, well, tonight...

Tonight, you're gonna have fun.

What? Why am I...

Yeah, yeah, no.

I forgot about that.

Sam, you forgot? Come on.

It's your dad's engagement party.

- You're his best woman.

- Yeah.

No, I know. It's just...

It's all happening really fast, you know?

Six months ago, he was married to my mom.

We were a family, and now it's...

I know. I know.

It's... it's a lot of change really quick.

Your mom is now in Florida

with her boyfriend,

and your dad is engaged to a gorgeous,

gorgeous fashion designer.

And everyone is happy,

except for you, so.

You're still gonna come, right?

Of course, I'm still gonna come. Come on.

You know I wouldn't miss

a chance to embarrass myself

in front of LA's fashion elite.

Thank you.

I wouldn't miss it.

Um, I... I feel like I

should've worn the other dress.

Hmm? Mm, maybe a little

Bo Peep-ish.

Oh, Jen. There he is.

He's literally looking right at me.

- I know, it's your dad...

- Sammy Bear.

- Sammy Bear.

- Hi, just... just Sam is fine.

And Jen.

I'll take "Jenny Bear."

Hi.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Uh, could you come over

and talk to Frankie?

He's over there talking

to his fashion friends,

and you would really save me from all that

"what's new this season" talk.

- Uh...

- Oh, yes, I would love that.

Wait, at first, we're gonna

grab a drink from the bar.

But we'll be over in a second.

OK.

Sam, I really want to

just go pretend to matter

in the world of fashion.

Jen, I need a drink, OK?

OK, fine.

I'm trying, but literally

I can't keep smiling.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Um...

Hi, hi, sorry.

Sorry, I... it's for the grooms.

Promise, promise.

Can I get two apple rhubarb

coolers, please?

Cool, cool.

What's in that?

Yeah, I'm not a bartender.

I'm a waiter.

Not even really a waiter, actually.

I'm an actor, so.

- Oh, jeez.

- Oh.

No sweat, pal.

It's apple juice,

apple cider vinegar, just a dash,

then sparkling rhubarb soda,

and a stem of ginger.

You're good to go.

That's wrong.

I'm sorry. What's that now?

- What?

- Did you say something?

Well, I was just saying it's the syrup

from a jar of stemmed ginger,

not the actual stem.

I mean, that would be a choking hazard.

Oh.

I mean, so is ice.

I mean, the syrup is just sugar.

It's clearly the root.

I'm sorry.

I'm not the one who's wrong.

- You are.

- Oh, no.

I'm sorry.

- Um, excuse... - I'm...

- I'm what?

Wrong.

Do you guys just maybe, like, want a soda

- or something...

- Um, no, it's the syrup.

OK, it's the root,

and I would bet money on it.

Oh. Why bet money?

If I'm right, you can drink

all the syrup in the jar.

And if I'm right, you can

eat all the ginger roots.

So many antioxidants to keep you from

feeling sick over losing.

Jen?

It's the syrup.

- Hmm.

- You guys are so weird.

- OK.

- You heard...

- I think I said syrup, right?

- It's getting a little weird.

- I did say that.

- Double or nothing.

Nope. I am happy with my win, thank you.

- Oh, your win?

- Two sodas.

Got it.

You know what?

Triple or nothing.

Come on, anything you want to bet on.

I'm really good. Thank you.

- There.

- Thank you.

- Thanks. Here you go, Jen.

- Thank you.

This is for me, and, um...

And that's for you. Enjoy.

Come on, Jen.

I'm Matt, by the way.

I'm the best man.

I know who you are, best man.

Come on.

Come dance.

You love dancing. Come on!

Jen, Jen, Jen, Jen, I really...

I just don't feel like it.

- Sammy Bear, hey.

- Hi.

Come and dance with your old man, huh?

Show 'em how you used to

do it at your old recitals.

Remember?

She was just... oh!

Oh, I was eight then, Dad.

It was much easier to impress people.

Plus, I forgot my Mickey Mouse tap shoes.

So you guys go.

Well, you owe me one.

- OK.

- OK.

- Come on.

- Mm.

How much do you want to bet

the DJ is gonna play

"Funky Chicken" next?

Wow, you are such a sore loser.

You know, you think you have me pegged,

but you don't know me

as well as you think you do.

- I'm not...

- You're a tennis instructor.

- Yes.

- Yes.

My dad's tennis instructor.

You are two for two right now.

Guessing not a very good one

since his game

definitely isn't getting any better.

You're also well dressed,

though not subtly.

Likely covering up

a lack of actual confidence,

which would also explain

your overly competitive nature.

I'm guessing you drive a convertible,

just based on the hair.

And that, what, you're more

of a big swing kind of guy,

rather than someone

who's actually detail oriented,

considering you've been

walking around with

hummus on your shoe all night.

Oh, um,

and you're the guy who convinced my dad

to leave my mom.

So I'm not really interested

in whatever it is

you have to say next.

Huh.

Fun fact, I didn't convince him

of anything.

And I know who you are, too, you know.

Sam Mason, the love swindler.

Excuse me?

Oh, yeah.

- Love and Whispers, right?

- Uh-huh.

Yeah, my sister tried your package.

Let's just put it this way.

She's not gonna be

playing doubles anytime soon.

OK, well, we offer a premium

relationship service

that's helped hundreds of couples.

You guys are puppeteers.

You tell people what to do,

and then you walk away,

leaving them floundering on their own.

We actually create love.

Ha!

- "Ha"?

- Ha.

- You ha.

- Me ha?

- You...

- Stop saying "ha."

Stop saying "ha."

You think you're better at love than me?

You ruined my family.

All I did was tell your dad

to follow his heart.

And I introduced him to my uncle Frankie.

That's it.

Look at how happy he is now.

He was happy with us, too.

That's real love.

I mean, not that you would

know anything about that, but.

- I know real love.

- You wouldn't know real love

if it was sitting right next to you.

I know real love,

and I eat it for breakfast.

- And it is sweet.

- Sweet?

- Mm-hmm.

- OK, prove it.

If you're such the master love expert,

get your next client to say

"I love you" and mean it.

Wow!

Wow. You are so desperate for a bet.

You do it,

I will do whatever you want.

Back out of the wedding.

I'm Uncle Frankie's best man.

Oh, OK.

Guess you can talk the talk.

You just can't walk the walk.

Fine.

When I win, you have to make

my couples tennis lessons

a part of Love and Whispers'

premium package,

- and...

- I'm not done, pay attention...

I get ad space on the company's

podcast for an entire year.

Sure.

Yeah, you know that's not

really up to me, right?

You know what? I'm sure you

can pull some strings

because according to your dad,

you're the best whisperer

that's ever whispered.

I think you'll be OK.

Fine.

Monday morning, my next client

is falling in love.

So it's a deal?

Oh, yeah. It's a deal.

A bet?

Sam, are you crazy?

Your job is already on the line,

and now you're thinking of

doing some dumb love bet?

- Jen.

- Sam.

OK, look, I know.

I know. I know.

But you didn't see him.

- He was so smug and arrogant...

- OK.

- And just, like...

- Look, look, look.

I hear you.

I really, really do.

It's just, are you, like, 100% positive

that you don't actually have

a grudge against this guy?

- 'Cause you've kind of had...

- What?

A grudge against him ever

since your parents split up.

No, no, not at all. No.

And you know what?

I can do this.

OK, OK.

Uh, the thing is that we actually

just give our clients

three dates, Samantha,

so only crazy people actually fall in love

in literally three dates.

Looks like your 10:00 a.m. is here.

OK.

- Here's hoping she's crazy.

- Let's hope so.

And that's it.

So do you have any questions at all?

It only takes three dates?

Yep.

But what if he doesn't like me?

Why wouldn't he like you?

You're amazing.

I just, um...

I don't know how to talk to people,

especially men.

Why can't men be more like cats?

Well, then they'd be too smart.

Yeah!

Millie, you deserve your dream man.

You're worth it.

You really think so?

No.

No?

Oh, um... no.

No, no, no. Um, I'm so sorry.

I'm gonna... will you excuse me

just for one second?

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

OK.

What are you doing here?

Are you insane?

What are you doing?

I'm here to meet our client.

Our client?

Oh, you thought

I was just gonna take your word

on whether or not she falls in love?

Sam, I take my bets very seriously.

Matt, this is where I work.

You can't just show up here like...

Oh, hello.

- Hi.

- Who is this gentleman?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Um, this is...

Hm?

Uh...

Oh, I'm the intern.

- Intern?

- Intern?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, the... the intern.

Remember Jen set up that

internship with my college?

So you're in college?

Oh, yeah.

I decided to change careers

after what I realized

I was doing was a giant sham.

I'm Matt, by the way.

I'm gonna be shadowing Sam here.

But if there's anything you need,

- anything at all.

- Oh.

Well, thank you, Matt.

I'm Breanna.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

- I, uh...

- I run this office.

Oh?

Welcome to the team.

I'm sure we'll see one another soon.

OK.

So where's our client?

OK, um, Millie, uh, sorry about that.

This is Matt, my underling.

Intern.

All right.

So next, we're gonna

go through a series of

this or that questions

to get a better sense

of your relationship goals.

This allows us to ensure that

you're building a lasting

and solid relationship

with your new partner.

Um, OK.

OK, um, indoor or outdoor dates?

Indoor.

Uh, no.

Um, whatever he likes.

OK.

And coffee dates or drinks?

I don't drink, but I could

have a coffee at a bar,

uh, if...

And do you want kids?

Wow.

Uh, that's a big shift.

Um, mm, I guess?

Come on, Millie!

Be bold. Own what you want.

Yes, yes.

- I want kids.

- That's it, well done.

- And marriage?

- Uh, yes, definitely.

On a roll.

And do you have someone in mind that

you'd like to connect with?

Yes.

Do you want to tell us who?

Oh! Ye... uh... uh, ye... yes.

Sorry. Oh, I got carried away.

Um, his name is Wyatt.

And he's... he's dreamy.

You know, he, like, builds furniture

with raw lumber with his bare hands

'cause he's, like, so manly.

I love your enthusiasm.

Um, and how did you and Wyatt meet?

Uh, well, we haven't.

Um, but I...

I read an article with him online.

Oh, OK, so you haven't met?

That's OK. That's OK.

Um, so we'll just...

We'll have to use

- your first date as a meet-cute.

- That's... that's fine.

And, um, actually,

I brought something for you.

But I... I promise I don't

carry a photo of him

with me all day.

What?

You think he's too good for me.

No, no, no, not at all.

- No.

- No.

- Um...

- No. No, no, no.

No, this is pointless.

- I'm...

- I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Um, yeah.

Why would a man like that ever want...

Hey.

Let's go get your dream man.

No, no, no, no, no.

- I can't...

- I can't do this. No way.

- What am I even wearing? I look...

- I look ridiculous.

Relax, relax.

Our makeover team

knows what they're doing.

You look fantastic.

Here. Put this in your ear.

Here you go.

What about me?

Oh.

Oh, did you not bring yours?

You know a good intern should

always bring their own gear.

Um, OK.

Mill, can you hear me?

Yes, I... I can hear you, but... but Sam...

Millie, listen.

You're gonna be fine, OK?

You've got this.

Plus, I'm going to be in

your ear the whole time

so all you have to do is

repeat what I'm saying.

Copy?

- Copy.

- OK.

All right, now just go in

there, have a look around,

and we'll be in right behind you.

Millie, you've got the best date whisperer

in the business.

Go.

All right.

Now just breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe, Millie.

- Millie, Millie, breathe.

- You got this, Millie!

You're being awfully

encouraging for somebody

who loses if she falls in love.

What?

I'm a sucker for romance.

Oh.

It smells nice in here.

I agree.

Sam!

Wyatt.

- No, Millie.

- What?

No, you're Millie.

Say you're Millie.

Um... um...

I'm not Sam.

You look like a Sam.

I know a Sam, and you look just like him.

Uh, but I...

I... I'm not Sam.

Sorry. Let me start over.

I'm Millie.

Millie.

Got it.

What can I do for you today,

Millie?

You're looking for a nightstand

for your father, a pair.

I'm looking for a nightstand

for my father.

A pair.

Perfect. Yeah, um,

our nightstands are actually

out in the back patio here.

Now, what kind of style

does your dad like?

Something unique and artisan

would be lovely.

Well, you're in good hands

with me, Millie.

Tell her to hold his hand.

- They've just met.

- So what?

He's a guy. They're easy.

It's a classic case.

You know what?

You can't do this.

You can't just waltz in here and act like

you know everything.

That is how people get hurt, OK?

I'm just saying she needs to go for it.

She needs courage. Come on.

Where'd she go?

A pine tree that, actually,

that I cut down myself

- here on the property.

- Wow.

Millie, what are you doing?

I told you to go to the nightstand.

That suggests certain things.

Coffee tables just suggest...

Do you have one big enough for a puzzle?

I was going to say coffee, but yeah,

puzzles are equally as boring.

Look at him, taking her to

the most expensive table.

So predictable.

He's just in it for the sale.

What? What?

What else is he supposed to be in it for?

He doesn't even know that

she likes him yet.

You know what?

You are throwing me off.

Just take three steps back.

- Really?

- Yeah, three big steps.

Thank you.

All right, Millie, you want a date?

Let the master work.

So how many pieces

are we thinking exactly?

Go high.

10,000?

10,000 puzzle pieces.

Wow.

That's a big number.

"I like a challenge."

Well, I like a challenge.

You know, the sense of

accomplishment you get

when you overcome something hard.

OK, well, we can work with ten.

Um, let's see, that would

kind of put you at

just about...

Get down there and

do the same thing as him.

That's it, good.

Now take your hand and put it on his

ever so gently.

Perfect, exactly.

Now look him in the eyes and say...

Feels about right.

Oh, yeah.

So you like it?

Uh...

I do.

But I have to measure my space.

And I came here for my dad,

so, uh, maybe next time.

OK... OK, Millie.

OK, that's OK.

Just walk to the car.

Don't say goodbye. Trust me.

Ooh. OK, that's OK.

That's OK. Just keep walking.

Keep walking.

OK.

OK.

Hey, um, sorry, I didn't mean...

What's he saying?

He's flustered.

It doesn't matter how cool a guy is.

For the right woman,

he will always get nervous.

There you go, Wyatt.

Find your courage.

Yes, yes, yes, come on.

Let me get your number real quick.

And, uh, doing anything tomorrow?

- Does tomorrow work?

- Tomorrow's great.

Yes!

Did you see that?

- You... you saw that?

- Yes, yes, I saw it.

See, that is finesse.

Don't need a jackhammer for one nail.

You don't need a jackhammer

for any amount of nails.

- Whatever.

- Mm.

I'm good.

- Hi!

- Oh.

Way too much energy for pre-coffee, Jen.

OK, well, take a sip.

OK.

Now just tell me everything.

I mean, how did it go?

- What's he like?

- Who?

Oh, come on.

Wait. You know that Breanna

has been, like,

talking about him nonstop, right?

OK, that is kind of disturbing.

And it was awful.

No, he is awful, Jen.

Jen, he is so annoying.

He just... he thinks he knows everything.

It is so annoying.

You have no idea.

Mm. Is it now?

Careful.

It's just like there's no...

There's no planning.

And there's no thinking.

No overthinking?

Right, exactly!

No. Wait, what?

I mean, I am just saying,

sometimes you, like, overthink.

You overcomplicate.

You overanalyze.

You just, like, get in your own head,

and you just sabotage yourself.

You know what I mean?

I'm saying all of this

with love, obviously.

Obviously, but OK,

with love, you weren't there.

This guy is beyond annoying.

So then, why don't you

just call off the bet?

No way. Mm-mm, no.

OK!

Coffee is clearly kicking in.

Jen, he needs to learn his lesson.

He ruined my family.

- Sam...

- He told my dad

to leave my mom, which,

now that I know him, is classic him.

I mean, he just, like, pushes people

to make these big decisions and... and... and

throw caution to the wind

and, like, live in the moment,

and not even think about

repercussions, you know?

Yeah, well, Sam, your dad is happier, hon.

And however that came about,

you've got to admit that

it's good that your dad

- can finally live his truth.

- No, I... I know. I know.

You're right.

So what are you gonna do about Matt?

I'm going to crush him like a bug.

Oh, hey.

Ah, check this out.

That's a little high.

- Oh, and he makes the catch...

- Wow.

- Ladies and gentlemen.

- Very impressive.

Um, where's my dad?

Upstairs changing into a tuxedo.

- OK.

- OK, come on.

- Your turn.

- No.

I know you're allergic to fun,

- but you can try this.

- I'm good, thank you.

Dad?

- You do it, I'll shut up.

- OK, fine.

Um, are you OK?

- Yeah.

- Those aren't soft.

I'm fine.

Just give me another one.

- You sure?

- Mm-hmm.

OK, that's the spirit.

Hey!

That was amazing.

No, you're good where you are.

Da...

What do you think?

You look really nice.

I would second that.

- You look amazing, honey.

- Thank you.

So are you two ready for yours?

Mm-hmm.

Too many mints?

Glad to see you're having some fun, Sam.

Yeah, I'm dressed like a Barbie doll,

so I clearly have plenty of fun.

Speaking of fun, when's date number one

for the Millster?

Mm, yeah, you're not coming to that.

I'm sorry. What?

What do you mean?

What about our bet?

You're too much of a wildcard.

Yeah, I know.

No, that's not a good thing, Matt.

Date whispering is a science,

a very specific science...

- And you are...

- A rebel? Loose cannon?

Dangerous? I know.

Yeah, more like a pain in the...

Wow, look at you two.

You look amazing.

Mm.

What's wrong, Sammy Bear?

- Oh, Sammy...

- Sam.

Um, nothing.

No... nothing, Dad.

It's all good. Suit fits well.

- I just...

- I kind of have to run. I have a work meeting.

So, um, approved?

Approved.

Cool.

Or you could stay, have some fun,

do something different.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Matt, you, um,

better be careful about that

cool guy advice you're always giving.

Might get yourself in trouble

one of these days.

No way.

They fired me, Matt.

I did what you told me.

I stood up to my boss.

And they fired me.

What am I gonna do?

I am so sorry.

- I...

- I have kids.

How am I going to support 'em?

You need to fix this.

I mean, Jo, I can't.

I don't even...

You know my reach at this club.

Yeah.

I'm afraid

I'm just gonna have to

tell all your clients about this.

- Jo... - Jo...

- You'd be done, Matt.

Done.

Fix it.

Hi.

What's going on?

Hi, Sam.

So good to see you.

Can you just...

What are you doing in Breanna's office?

- Do you...

- I'm sorry.

Do you have any idea

how much trouble I would be in

if she found out about our bet?

Yes, I am sorry.

I was looking for you,

and you weren't there.

And then Breanna saw me and was like,

"Hey, can you get me some coffee?"

'Cause, you know, intern.

Why were you even looking for me?

I told you, you're not coming

on Millie's next date.

About that.

Um, I might have messed up big time.

I, um... yeah, look,

I told one of my tennis clients

that she should

confront her boss

because he passed her over

for so many promotions.

So I was like, "You know what?

You stand up to him.

You say what you gotta say.

You get in there."

And now she's fired.

Sam, she's fired.

I just... she's fired.

- Just hold this.

- Like, fired.

And this.

And this.

- What is...

- And this.

What is happening?

Sam, you're not listening to me.

You are gonna get two people fired

if you keep showing up here.

OK, you don't understand.

This client is Jo Law.

The... the tabloid writer, Jo Law,

the queen bee of gossip

and rumors, Jo Law.

She's gonna ruin

my reputation at the club.

Sam, I'm gonna lose all my clients

if I don't get this ad space.

I'm sorry, are you seriously asking me

for a down payment on losing our bet?

Yeah. I mean, well,

when you say it like that,

it kinda sounds desperate.

Oh, my gosh. OK, I told you.

Sorry, but I told you that

this was gonna happen.

I told you this was gonna happen.

You are a meddler.

You push and you push and you push.

You think you know everything,

but you don't.

And I told you that one of these days,

one of these big bombs you keep

telling other people to drop

was going to blow up in your face.

So you'll help me?

You are not even listening to me.

That's good.

You know what? I gotta go.

I gotta go.

Millie has a hiking date with,

uh, wood working wonder boy,

- so good luck, intern.

- Sam, Sam. No, no.

- Bye.

- Do not... do not leave me!

Sam!

Millie, I'm so sorry, but I'm here.

- I'm here.

- Where have you been?

Wyatt just texted me

saying he's two minutes away.

Um, OK, that's fine.

Where's Matt?

Why isn't he here?

Oh, Matt, he's, um...

He's doing paperwork,

intern stuff today.

So just you and me.

OK, so you've got this.

Just remember, confidence,

and I will be in your ear the whole time.

- OK.

- OK.

- Oh, my gosh, he's here.

- Oh.

What is he, 12?

Who rides a scooter?

What?

What?

- Oh, I was...

- I was just saying, it's a cool scooter.

Oh, well, you know, he doesn't drive

because he's trying to reduce

his carbon footprint.

You know, like, save the planet.

He's such a hero.

Hi, Wyatt!

Hey.

Well, it's really pretty out here.

Yeah, it's one of my favorite hikes.

I come out here

probably at least once a week.

- Oh!

- Oh!

Oh, that's... that's OK.

That's OK.

- Just laugh it off.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah, I'm...

- Geez.

I'm fine.

Yeah, its bark was worse than its bite.

No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, don't make a joke.

Just... just laugh.

Bark, like tree bark.

That's... that's pretty good.

Or that's...

That's pretty wood, huh?

- Oh.

- Eh?

Hey.

Wow, I...

I don't know how you pulled that one off.

OK, good job.

So how did you get started

in furniture making?

That's actually...

Oh, my God, Millie.

Hi! How are you?

- Hi. Hi.

- How are you doing?

Bob Ford, used car salesman.

You look like a Vespa guy.

Vespa, electric scooters,

anything you need, I got you.

Nice to meet you.

- Bob Ford.

- Bob Ford.

- Yeah.

- Got it.

Millie and I actually used to date.

Let me tell you, she's a little crazy,

a bit of a wild one,

not really in a good way.

Have you introduced him

to the porcelain cats yet?

- What?

- Bob?

Bob!

- Honey, oh!

- Hey, hi.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Have you?

Um, oh, and Millie, hi.

Hi. Millie is our neighbor.

- So sorry to intrude.

- Neighbor.

- And you are?

- Wyatt.

Mm, so good to meet you.

I am just so sorry about Bob.

He was just at the dentist and, um,

had a bad reaction to the anesthetic.

He's a little loopy.

You know, doesn't really know

what he's saying.

- Yes.

- Yep.

OK, um, well, we should

get you home, honey,

'cause, you know, the dentist said

if we don't, you could die.

Wow, that's... that's serious.

OK. Bye, guys.

Great meeting you.

Great meeting you, too. Yeah.

Yeah.

You don't say anything.

Millie, you're doing great, OK?

I'm just gonna be five minutes.

Just ask him...

Ask him about his job.

Ask him if he has pets, um,

if... if he's close with his family, OK?

So are you out of your mind?

I cannot lose this bet, OK?

I need those ads.

So just buy the ad space.

Don't ruin my date.

I cannot buy the ads.

Look, I'm not gonna get into it right now.

Money's a little bit tight, and I'm sorry.

What do you care anyways?

You practically hate the guy.

What? I don't hate him.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Do you remember the files

you put in my arms earlier?

Yeah, I read what you put in

your initial reports

about him: "pretentious"?

Well, he's... you know,

his furniture prices are insanely high.

Mm-hmm, "manipulative."

Did you see?

He took her to coffee tables

when she was looking for nightstands.

"Phony?"

I mean, come on, Sam.

You saw the guy once.

- How could you know any of that?

- OK, fine.

Maybe phony was a leap,

but you should have

seen this guy today,

rolling in on a scooter

for the environment?

And the only person that does

that is Leonardo DiCaprio,

so clearly, my instincts are spot on.

Look, none of this even matters.

My job is on the line, OK?

You can't keep doing these things.

Sam, please,

I'm begging you, OK?

I'll leave them alone.

Just help me.

I am not giving you ad space.

I told you, I don't even

have the power to do that.

OK, if you back off,

I will help your client get her job back.

Seriously?

- Really?

- Yes.

Just come to my house tonight.

I will text you the address.

We'll get it all sorted.

OK, now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to go fix the mess that you made.

- All right? Thank you.

- Go, go, go.

Wait, do you want my help?

No.

OK.

You told him that

you'd whisper for his client?

- How does that work?

- I don't know.

But I mean, it can't be

that different than

whispering for a date, right?

I mean, instead of a kiss,

the goal is a job.

I guess.

I think I'm just surprised

that you offered.

I thought that he was

public enemy number one.

He is.

But, you know,

I also can't lose my job.

So if this keeps him

off my back, then fine.

Plus, you know, it's nice to do

nice things for nice people.

You know, after today,

I'm not entirely sure he's people.

Maybe an alien sent to destroy my life.

Oh, that is him. I gotta go.

OK, so tell me what is going on.

- What?

- What are you doing?

It's pizza.

Just pick it up and eat it.

I don't want to get my hands messy.

The mess is part of the fun.

Says the man who's in

quite a bit of a mess.

Touch.

I'm just saying not everything

has to be so serious, you know.

What is happening with your client?

You were right.

I should not have told her

to confront her boss.

So what does she want?

Just her job back.

She says she tried calling,

but she's not exactly

the calmest person under pressure, so.

OK, fine. Fine, fine, fine.

I'm going to need a list

of information from her.

And then Friday, 10:00 a.m.,

we will meet in front of her office.

I will get her job back.

Do you really think this is gonna work?

Same principles as dating.

Establish trust, build a connection,

find your hooks, get a positive outcome.

- It really is a science.

- Mm-hmm.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

You know, earlier, you had mentioned that

your job was on the line.

What did you mean?

Well, I just...

I haven't been in the best place lately.

And my work's been suffering.

And so Breanna, your bestie,

she's giving me one last chance

to prove my worth to the company.

So if Millie doesn't fall in love, then...

You did a bet on top of all of this?

You must really want me

out of your dad's wedding.

- Do it. No, no.

- I'm just gonna go get a fork.

No, you're not.

You're an adult.

Eat your pizza like a real woman.

Come on.

Ladies and gentlemen...

- Are you happy?

- I'm so happy!

The smallest of victories.

Pizza with no fork?

Well done.

Thank you.

It tastes better, right?

I admit nothing.

Hmm.

And that was the serve

that won me the match.

So then I rushed the net,

you know, 'cause I thought it

was a cool thing to do.

And I got my foot caught

and ended up knocking out

my two front teeth.

- No.

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, not the best move, but I was hooked.

I knew I loved the sport at that point.

- I got 'em fixed.

- I was just checking.

- Really? Are you sure?

- I was just checking.

But they look good.

Weirdo.

- Second question for you.

- Mm-hmm.

Earlier, you had mentioned that

your work's been suffering.

Is this from your mom and dad

splitting up?

Yeah.

Oh.

But hey, I mean,

I know you didn't mean to

get involved with their relationship and...

Oh!

No, I... I wasn't apologizing.

Oh.

Well... well, you should.

Yeah, but you just said...

I was being polite, Matt.

You know, you told my dad to leave my mom,

and it broke up our family/

What, just another one

of Matt's big pushes?

Sam, it was a push that worked out.

I mean, your dad's happier now.

What is wrong with you?

Have you learned nothing, Matt?

There is a way to do things, a method.

- A science?

- Yes!

Yes, a science.

You can't just keep going around

and taking all these big risks.

That's how people get hurt.

I mean, look at your client.

Yeah, you know what? Fine.

Maybe, Sam.

I don't regret your dad, though.

He lived his entire life as a lie, Sam.

So, no, that was the right push.

I'm sorry that you found out

the way that you did.

It sucks, OK?

That, I get.

You get it?

You get it?

No, Matt, you don't get it.

OK, you don't know what it feels like

to think you know someone your whole life

and then find out you were a mistake.

- Sam, I...

- Please leave.

OK.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Um, can I talk to you really quickly?

Yeah, of course.

Are... are you OK?

You seem a little...

Yeah, no, I'm good.

It's just...

I don't know... something.

It's just that...

Sam? My office.

OK.

- I better go.

- Go, go.

Hi.

Oh.

How are things with your client?

Um, good, I think.

I mean, the guy is a little...

Two dates in, and one date left.

Yeah, and I was actually thinking...

Is she happy?

Yes.

Is there a connection?

I think so.

I'm gonna tell you this

as your friend, Sam.

You've been with this company a long time.

And like I said before,

you were our top whisperer for years.

Please don't mess this up.

I really don't want to fire you.

Um...

I won't.

Get out of your own way.

Mm-hmm.

Sam.

Get out of your own way.

Thanks, Breanna.

- Sam.

- Yeah?

How is that intern of yours doing?

Uh... um, good.

Very good.

OK, bye.

Where is she, Matt?

She will be here, Jo.

I promise.

She'd better be.

If she's not, you can say

goodbye to your career.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm very well aware she...

My life is... oh!

There she is.

See? I told you.

No, Millie, just trust me.

I know, I know it feels fast,

but just text him

exactly what I told you, OK?

We have to get clarity on

how he's feeling.

And this is the best way

to do it without...

She does this a lot.

- Exactly. So...

- OK.

OK, we'll lock in date three tomorrow.

I'll see you then.

OK, yeah, I gotta go.

- Hi.

- Hi.

So you're Jo?

Surely, you know who I am, dear.

All right.

Um, you're going to put this in your ear.

OK, so what's she gonna do?

Like, a big grand gesture or...

Oh, no, she could pull the fire alarm...

That's him, right?

OK, you're gonna walk over there,

bump into him, and spill this on yourself.

Excuse me?

This is a silk blouse.

OK, well, if you want to keep buying more,

you'll listen to me.

Look, we need to establish a dynamic

where he is at fault

and you're the victim, OK?

So don't get any on him.

Go now. Go.

Come on.

- Oh!

- Oh!

I am so sorry... Jo.

Jo, what are you doing here?

I told you I'm not giving you

your job back.

You don't want your job back.

You've already accepted a new job.

You just stopped by

to pick up a few things

for your new office.

No, my blouse. It's ruined.

Did you say something about my old job

after just spilling coffee all over me?

She's good.

She is loving this.

I don't want your job, Doug.

I already accepted a new offer.

Here, let me give you some money for the...

Did you say you accepted another job?

- Where?

- Don't tell him where.

Let him ask again,

and don't take any money.

Keep him feeling in the wrong.

Keep your money, Doug.

I don't have time to stop.

I'm picking up a few things

for my new office,

a corner office in the penthouse.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't... don't improv, and don't oversell.

- Take the money.

- No, I gotta go.

Hey, where did you accept that offer?

Go big.

Whitehall Press.

Whitehall?

Wow, that was fast.

Apparently, they were waiting

for me to be free.

A headhunter had me in

to talk to the CEO and CFO.

- Big plans.

- Go and walk away.

Doesn't matter. I gotta run

and figure out something with this blouse.

Don't hesitate. Just go.

Jo.

Maybe we should talk

before you officially start your new job.

Hm, all right.

Oh.

See, they are so cute.

Come on, you can't deny it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are pretty cute.

You OK?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.

I'm just...

Lot on my mind, you know?

Hey, how's the bet going, by the way?

Do you think you're actually

gonna get an "I love you"

- by date three?

- Mm, yeah, but I don't know.

I'm just...

I'm starting to think,

what if he's not the right guy for her?

You know, or what if

he hurts her or leaves her?

Interesting.

- What?

- Oh, no, nothing.

- It's just...

- I don't know... your focus seems to have shifted

from getting Matt out of the wedding...

to actually really worrying

about your client.

No, my focus is on keeping my job.

But yeah, I mean, I guess

if Matt's in the wedding,

it's not... it's not the worst

thing in the world.

It's not like it's my wedding, right?

Oh, yeah, speaking of which,

I'm gonna leave you two to chat.

Jen. Jen!

- Hi.

- Hi.

Can I buy you another drink?

How about your dad, huh?

I'm happy he's having fun.

Did you set this all up?

Maybe.

Wow.

You've been helping a lot

with the wedding stuff,

- so thank you.

- Of course.

You were amazing today, by the way.

Like, seriously.

It was really cool to watch,

and it made me think

about some things, too.

I know you're going through it

at work right now,

but I can definitely see how

you're the best whisperer out there, Sam.

Thanks.

I mean, it's a lot easier

to be on your game

when love's not actually involved.

Yeah, about that.

What?

What's going on?

I want to change the bet.

Oh.

Afraid you're gonna lose?

If I win, you have to talk to your dad.

It's good to see nothing's changed.

Sam, I promise you

this isn't some big swing thing, OK?

Look, your dad loves you.

- He misses you.

- Misses...

I'm right here.

- I have...

- I've been in all the wedding stuff.

I'm at the bachelor party.

I'm actually standing at the altar.

You're here, but you're not

really here, Sam.

We all see that. He feels that.

There's, like, this barricade

where you don't want

to get hurt, and you just

put it in front of people.

This is none of your business.

You need to tear it down, Sam.

Matt, stop it.

Guys, guys,

they're calling for the

best people to come up on...

Hey, can you take me home?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Hey.

If you want to change your end

of the bet, that's fine.

Mine still stands.

When you lose,

you are out of this wedding.

Who does he think he is?

Who does he think he is,

telling me to talk to my dad?

He is my dad.

I will talk to him when I want to.

Jen?

I'm here.

No.

You... you agree with him?

Are you serious?

You're a traitor.

No, Sam.

I'm just saying, I think that

this whole bet thing is dumb

and dangerous.

- And I think that you...

- OK, I get it. I get it.

Look, maybe you talking to your dad

wouldn't actually be the worst thing

in the entire world.

It's not gonna bring

my family back together.

Maybe it will, though.

I mean, not in the way that it used to be,

but you'll have your dad back.

And he'll have you.

That's family, Sam.

And plus, I mean, think of, like,

all the birthday gifts

that Frankie must give.

I mean, oh!

Seriously, if you do not

want him as a dad,

- I will take him.

- You'll take him?

I will take him.

Please, just...

Just right over this way.

Thanks.

Hey, boss.

What you doing?

I am just creating

the perfect park atmosphere for a picnic

for Millie and Wyatt.

The perfect picnic park place.

I do love alliteration.

Mm, well, please participate post haste.

Oh, of course.

I got to admit, I was expecting

a different vibe.

I wasn't really sure if

I should show up or not.

Yeah.

Um, well, I may have

maybe sort of overreacted the other night.

I mean, I... I know you're just

trying to help

in your very Matt way.

"The Mighty Matt Method,"

some might call it.

Ah. I see what you did there.

So are we pushing for

the "I love you" today?

Lots on the line.

Yeah.

You know, about that,

you don't have to pull out of the wedding.

I mean, that was really

never fair of me to ask.

Really?

Well, thanks.

Thanks, Sam.

And I guess using

your relationship with your dad

as a bet wasn't the best tactic either?

Mm.

Sorry.

But I do think you two should talk.

How about we change it to a friendly bet?

Friendly? No way.

We are putting something on the line.

Ah.

I love the sound of that.

What you have in mind?

Um... ooh.

Wedding gifts?

- Loser buys winner's?

- Yes, deal.

Mine is gonna be huge.

Mine is going to be so big

and so expensive

with insane delivery fees.

International, of course.

That is brutal.

OK, well, I'm gonna get one of Wyatt's...

No, no, ten of Wyatt's coffee tables.

Monster.

Uh, hi.

Hi!

What are you doing?

Millie! Hi, how are you?

Are you sane again?

I may have told her that

you went temporarily insane

from eating some bad sushi.

What?

Yes, yes, no, I...

That is the last time that

I mix California rolls

and Alaska rolls.

Those states just don't get along.

Well, I'm glad you're back.

You're really good at building me up.

Thank you.

Just like Sam is good at guiding me.

Oh.

You two make a good team.

- No.

- No, I don't really think so.

- With him?

- It feels a little weird.

- No.

- She's...

Um, but Millie, how are you feeling?

I mean, that's the important thing.

I feel good.

Uh, yeah, that nervous, shaky,

"can't stop thinking horrible

thoughts" kind of good.

Uh, OK.

Um, well, what kind of horrible things?

I just realized how different we are.

You know, at first,

I was like, "Yay!"

But now I'm like, "Yikes."

Well, that's normal.

You're questioning your attraction.

I mean, it's a risk liking someone.

And you know,

there's actually no one better

to talk to about risks than Matt.

- Me?

- Mm-hmm.

Are you sure?

'Cause I've taken all that

big swing stuff deep down

and locked it away.

- It's forever gone.

- Sure.

Well, you can let just a little out.

Millie!

Whoa.

This is it.

What's your favorite food?

What?

Uh, grilled cheese?

I'm sorry.

Is that a question?

Grilled cheese with tomato.

Exactly.

And what was it like

just before the first time

you tried grilled cheese with tomatoes?

Well, I don't know.

I was, like, three, probably.

You doubted yourself.

You were nervous.

That's OK. I mean, grilled

cheese with tomatoes?

Madness.

Now it's your favorite.

Your absolute favorite, right?

- This is the same thing.

- Yeah.

Yeah, I guess I can kind of

see how you draw the line...

The same thing!

Nerves are good.

Nerves are good.

You're gonna have fun.

I'm gonna have fun.

Yes!

And if it feels right,

you're gonna give that boy a smooch.

- What?

- Mm-hmm.

I agree.

I mean, less yell-y and manic, but,

um, I agree.

OK!

Yeah, uh...

thank you.

Uh, this is amazing.

And I... I couldn't have done it

without you.

Well, we are gonna just be in the car.

And you just have fun.

OK?

Come on.

What?

You guys have binoculars, too?

Really?

Oh, there's Wyatt.

He's walking over.

- Hey.

- You did all this?

This is amazing.

OK, let me know what he's saying.

Oh, well, you can just listen yourself.

Earbuds?

You sure that

I'm ready for this?

Mm, there's no mic on it.

I'm not an idiot.

Hey, Sam.

They're sitting down.

Yeah, I know how you like

to be outside, so.

Yeah, it's perfect.

You're perfect.

Ugh, Wyatt.

OK, let's hear it.

I'm sure you're gonna say

what a fraud he is

and how men use these

cheesy lines to trick women.

Come on. Let it out.

I think he means it.

- Um, no, I'm...

- Millie?

I'm not. I'm not.

Hey, whoa, whoa, what's going on?

- Are you OK?

- No, I don't...

Wait, wait, wait. Hang on.

What's happening?

Millie, is everything all right?

- I don't...

- What is it?

Millie, take...

Millie, take a breath.

Take a deep breath, OK?

You're OK.

I'm not perfect, though.

I'm not perfect.

I've had you this whole time.

Who... who are you talking to?

Millie, don't talk to me directly, OK?

Just listen to my voice, OK?

Now just look him in the eyes,

and listen to my words, OK?

Breathe in with me.

And out.

- OK?

- No, no, no, no, I can't.

- I can't do this.

- Millie.

Millie, you're OK.

Just... just breathe, OK?

- Millie?

- I'm not perfect.

I'm not. I can't.

- Millie, are you with me?

- I'm not perfect.

Millie? Millie?

What is that?

- I'm not...

- I'm not perfect.

- She's gone rogue!

- Oh, OK.

OK, we're leaving.

Come on!

I like board games,

and not the normal game night

kind of board games;

the really nerdy ones.

I have a Dungeons and Dragons character.

Her name is Snarf.

She's half orc, and she's really ugly!

Oh... oh, OK.

Are you all right?

I'm a terrible runner!

I don't swing my arms,

and I take really tiny steps.

I don't know why. It just...

It feels weird doing it any other way, OK?

And I look like a penguin

trying to escape a wave.

Lower.

This is as low as I go.

Are we in one of those, like,

punked hidden camera shows

right now or something?

I have zero confidence.

Sometimes I walk into doors,

and then I apologize to the door.

That's actually pretty cute.

I talk to my cats.

A lot.

And I gave them human names,

so it would seem less weird,

but it still seems weird.

Their names are David and Glenn.

Millie...

I've k*lled...

- Whoa.

- At least six plants...

In the past year.

And I wear a mouth guard at night.

And sometimes

I still do the puzzles

- on the back of cereal boxes.

- Millie.

I have no idea what's going on right now,

but all of that, that's... it's OK.

It's OK.

But there's one more thing.

I hired a date whispering service

to help make you fall for me.

That's... that's them over there.

You guys can come out.

You're terrible hiders.

Wait, a date whispering service?

Like, one of those things

where they tell you

what to say the entire time?

I was scared.

You just... you seem so perfect.

And... I'm just me.

Millie?

You OK?

- Wait.

- Hi.

You guys are from the hike.

And you!

You're the one who said all those weird,

- horrible things.

- Yeah, I, um...

Wyatt.

No, what?

Everything you told me was a lie?

No.

God, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted you to like me.

It wasn't you.

That's so sad.

It was never you.

Wyatt, it... it was her.

It wasn't a lie.

We just help our clients

put their best selves forward.

But they aren't her words.

They're your words.

Well, we have an intricate,

detail-oriented process,

questionnaires and interviews,

all to learn about a client's personality

to make sure we're not showing

anyone in a false light.

I don't know. I mean,

it just feels so weird now.

It makes it kind of hard to trust you.

Wyatt.

No, I'm...

I'm sorry. This is...

This is too much.

Bud, she just told you that

she apologizes to doors.

Anybody who does that is

obviously a good person.

And she... she has cats

named David and Glenn.

How cute is that?

And did I hear something about

a penguin run?

Do... do you want to show us real quick?

- No.

- OK.

Well, I bet it's adorable.

Look, the point is,

she put herself out there and

she laid all of her quirks bare

because she likes you.

She hired Sam because she likes you, man.

I don't know, man.

I mean, it's...

She got the best whisperer in this town.

Millie's in.

And obviously, you like her, too.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have

had this weird freak-out.

Look, my motto is "Just do it."

- Pretty sure that's...

- Yeah.

Look, what I'm trying to

say is, just go for it, OK?

You only live once, man.

You know, you're right.

You're both right.

Sometimes I sleep with

a log under my pillow

'cause I... I like

the smell of freshly cut wood

- in the morning.

- Really?

Well, it's not... not a log.

It's more like a small branch

and it's always hickory, never oak.

And don't even get me started

on cedar 'cause that's, like,

- the most overrated species...

- Well, OK.

Well, we don't have to do

the whole list thing again.

But you guys enjoy your picnic.

We're gonna go.

You're leaving?

Yeah.

You don't need us anymore.

You've got this.

Hey.

Hey.

Very well done.

You know, you were like

a surgeon with your words.

I mean, so... so precise,

so perfectly articulate.

Mm.

Well, look, I hate to admit it,

but your whole, um, "just do it" mentality

definitely worked today.

So thank you for pushing a little bit.

Wow.

OK.

Don't let it go to your head.

I mean, my head barely fits

in my house as it is.

Oh, my God. You are like

a different person.

- Yeah, you.

- No. Mm-mm.

- Oh, mm-mm.

- It's one bite.

Uh, what was that?

The forks were all in there.

Mm-mm, that's what

I thought you said. OK.

Look, well, I think I will take

this golden opportunity

to point out the fact that, um...

Drum roll.

You lost the bet.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Did you just...

drum roll me losing?

Yeah, is that not what a drum roll is for?

No, no, it's not, actually.

I don't think so.

I...

OK.

Fine.

I know I lost.

The thing is,

I know they love each other.

And it won't be long

until they're saying it,

so your spreadsheets were a success, Sam.

Oh, I know.

My success sheets are always a success.

Oh, my God.

I'm just trying to say

we can both consider this a win, OK?

That is very diplomatic of you.

But thank you because I would

have had to remortgage my house

to buy one of

Wyatt's coffee tables.

Yes. Yes.

Hm.

You know, um, actually

speaking of our... our bets,

I think...

I think that maybe

you might have been right?

I mean, maybe I should talk to my dad.

What?

Wow, Sam, that's... wow.

Yes, that would mean the world to him.

So thank you for pushing

'cause I definitely needed it.

Of course.

Listen, while we're being serious,

Mm-hmm?

I feel like

I owe you an apology.

I was pretty mean about Love

and Whispers when we first met,

and I shouldn't have been.

I'm sorry.

What you do helps people, Sam.

I see that now.

Thank you.

What is happening?

We heard about what happened

and how your last client took

out her earbud and went rogue.

So here.

Aw.

Well, I don't know if it

really warrants donuts, but.

Well, just take a bite,

and then you tell me.

Oh, no, I was wrong.

Donuts were a very good call.

Yeah, I know. I got you.

Sam.

My office, please.

OK.

sh**t.

- Am I OK?

- OK. You're good.

Go.

Um, Breanna, listen.

I can explain about everything...

Congratulations, Sam.

You're not upset with me?

Why would I be upset?

Well, you wouldn't be.

I don't even know why I said that.

Because your client went rogue,

and you revealed yourself to her date?

Yeah, kind of... kind of that.

We've all had a rogue client

here and there.

- Well, not me, of course, but...

- Of course.

But the others? I'm sure.

What I care about, Sam, are results,

and on that front, you delivered.

Your review came in this

morning from your client,

and it's one of the best

I've seen in a while.

Five stars across the board.

You're back, Sam.

You can breathe again.

Whew.

Thank goodness.

Um, wow. Thank you.

I'm so glad because, I mean,

this job means a lot to me.

What we do for people,

helping them find love and

breaking down the walls between them,

it fulfills me.

Well, I'm happy to hear it

because I have another client for you.

Oh.

Well, this is an executive client.

We'd like to make you an executive, Sam.

What do you say?

- Oh, my God!

- I had to.

I love it so much.

- Shall we?

- Yes, go!

OK, OK.

I didn't get it so you

could just, like, look at it.

- No, you didn't.

- Yes, I did.

Oh, my gosh.

But you deserve it,

Miss Executive!

And now you can dress just

like our boss, which...

- It is so awful.

- Yeah.

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah, you'd be surprised

how hard it is to find, like,

really ugly blazers.

- I bet.

- Yeah.

Well, thank you.

So, how's everything else going?

Are you feeling ready for

the rehearsal dinner tomorrow?

Yeah.

You know, actually, I am.

I don't know. It's weird.

I feel like I've been

walking around this dark maze

for months, and, like,

I finally found a path out,

you know?

- Does that sound super crazy?

- Mm-mm.

No, it does not sound super crazy.

It actually sounds really, really good.

Like, really, really, really...

What?

I'm just wondering

how much of this, like,

newfound path of yours

is because of Mr. Matt

whatever his last name is...

No, no, stop. Stop. Mm-mm.

I am just saying.

Or you know what?

I am asking.

Let's say that I'm asking

so that you actually have to answer.

He's... he's a good guy.

He's a really good guy.

And he's helped me a lot.

But, Jen, romance, it's not

a part of the plan right now.

Sam and her plans.

- I do love my plans.

- You do.

Should we get some food?

Yes, and put on some trashy TV?

Oof!

I am so glad to see being a big-time exec

hasn't changed you.

Woo!

Heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

She was heaven...

I only know half the people here.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

Is that cupcake?

I only had one. Or two.

- It was...

- I almost didn't want to say anything because of...

I gotta get some more

You know, you know

I got to

Oh, that's our song.

That's definitely not our song.

No, no, not our song.

My song with Matt.

Matt!

- Yes?

- On the dance floor now.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Come on.

Dance floor. Go.

Heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

Oh, my gosh.

She was heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

I've gotta get some more

Heaven on the dance floor

This is... this is

a little embarrassing, huh?

- It's not good, no.

- Good? No.

Frankie's so fashionable,

you'd think he would choose

a trendier dance than the vogue.

Yeah.

Get down, get down, get down

- What?

- Oh, God.

Oh, nice. Nice.

Why don't we go show them how it's done?

Let's go.

Woo!

Heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

She was heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

I've gotta get some more

Heaven on the dance floor

I've gotta,

I've gotta get some more

You know, you know

I've gotta

I bet you can't eat that in one bite.

You know a better bet would be

how many of these Frankie has

already stuffed into his bag?

Oh, true, true.

He's got a bit of a problem.

Gotta work on that.

How's your night going?

Good.

Yeah, this... this is all good?

- Mm-hmm.

- Where's your...

Where's your partner in crime?

She is off hobnobbing

with LA's fashion elite.

Oh, are you trying to say

that this isn't your scene either?

Not really.

Yeah, I feel weirdly nervous

around all these people.

Even me?

Oh, especially you.

I think what you do is amazing, Sam.

You're amazing.

OK.

I think you're smart and funny

in a very dry,

borderline mean kind of way.

But I dig it.

And I think you're intelligent...

That's the same thing as smart.

OK.

See, that...

That very mean, but funny.

I'm sorry.

I... I just feel a little nervous right now.

I... I don't...

What I'm trying to say is,

is that when I'm around you,

I just feel like

I'm a better version of myself.

I have so much fun with you, and...

Matt.

I like you.

I actually wrote a...

A spreadsheet for you.

- And it's just...

- I don't really have a spreadsheet.

I just thought that would be funny.

- Matt, I can't do this.

- Sorry, uh...

- Yeah.

- Sorry.

- It's not...

- No, it's...

- It's... it's really...

- Fine.

- It's not... it's not you.

- Fine, it is... fine.

Just a quick question.

I thought you were done hating romance.

I thought you were done

running away from all that.

I mean, we had so much fun

with Millie and Wyatt.

Yeah, that was them, not me.

I know, but... but you and me, like, that...

You can't deny we were a good team.

It really doesn't matter.

No, no, it does matter, though, Sam.

That's... that's it.

OK, do you remember when I said

I didn't have a lot of money for the ads?

Breanna already said that she's...

That's not... that's not

what I'm talking about.

That's not what I mean.

Just... just let me finish.

It's because of my sister.

She is going through a divorce right now.

And I've been trying to help her.

And it has gotten messy

and drawn out and ugly.

And she has always felt

like her and this guy

were just two different people.

And I just think that's...

That's how everybody lives their lives,

and I don't want that.

And then I meet someone as frustrating

and as amazing as you.

And I find out that

you are the best person

I have ever met...

- Matt...

- And we are a good team.

Matt, it doesn't...

It doesn't matter.

You make me better.

- You challenge me.

- So what?

It doesn't matter.

So what? So what? So what?

- What do you mean, "so what?"

- So what we're a good team?

So we make each other better now?

- Is that a problem?

- What happens in ten years?

- I can't tell you...

- What about in 20 years?

What happens when you wake up one day,

and you suddenly decide that

you've found something better?

You're right. You're right.

We are a good team.

We're great.

It's exactly why I can't be with you

'cause, look, great, it never lasts!

- Sam...

- Sorry.

What is wrong with you?

You did the right thing.

You did the right thing.

Definitely did the right thing.

Yeah.

Go to sleep, Sam.

You did the right thing.

Did I?

I don't know.

I... I talked to her last night.

I just said that I liked her.

- I don't...

- I don't understand what I did wrong, Frankie.

Hey.

I thought I wasn't supposed to see you

until you walked down the aisle.

God, look at you.

You look so beautiful.

Thank you.

OK, what's going on?

Don, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what happened.

- I... I...

- Sam isn't here yet, honey.

Well, have you tried to call her?

I have been trying to call her all day.

Her phone is off.

I'd go to her house,

but I'm the last person

- that she wants to see.

- I can go.

No, I'll go.

What about the wedding?

Hey, that's my baby girl, OK?

Let me go figure it out, OK?

And I'll come right back as soon as I can.

Of course. Of course.

I'll just regale them with

some song and dance numbers.

You go be the wonderful father

that you are.

All right. OK.

What?

Ew!

- What the...

- Sammy!

Dad?

Yes!

Wha... oh, I'm so sorry!

I'm so sorry! I fell asleep.

I couldn't sleep,

so I turned off my phone,

and then a bird pooed on my head.

Well, they say that's good luck.

Ew. Who says that?

Wait, wait, why aren't you

at your wedding?

Hello? Because you aren't.

Look, Sam, it's time that

we talked about all this, OK?

Inside.

Less chance of more luck

landing on your head.

And then the cat is found.

Holly and Paul share a passionate kiss.

He has always loved her,

and she can now finally love him

because she truly understands

what love is.

And that, that is

"Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Is he back?

OK, go, go, go, go.

It's for you.

Thank you.

Wow.

You look really nice.

Thank you.

OK, I'm gonna get my suit,

and we're gonna go.

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.

I'm gonna...

Let's just sit and talk for a second.

OK.

I'm sorry I ruined your rehearsal dinner.

You didn't.

And now your actual wedding.

Oh, please.

What's a gay wedding

without a little drama?

Sam, what's going on?

I don't know.

I don't know, Dad.

I don't know.

I think I'm pretty messed up.

I know, baby.

I'm just scared, you know,

of caring for someone,

of someone caring for me.

- I just...

- I don't want to take that chance.

Sam, what happened between your mom and me

has nothing to do with you.

It wasn't her fault.

It was no one's fault.

And I know you want someone to blame.

That person isn't here,

which makes it so much harder.

But you can't hide

your heart away forever.

Yeah, but you guys were so happy.

I know.

We were.

I mean, that's why your mom

is still my best friend.

I loved her then,

and I still love her now.

It had nothing to do with us

caring for each other

or you.

So you don't feel like

I was a mistake?

Like, maybe you would have

just been happier

- if you never had me?

- What?

- Oh, my God.

- I don't know.

Hey.

What made you come up with that idea?

You're the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

Why didn't you just say that?

Why didn't you just tell me

what was going on?

Why couldn't you have just been honest?

I wasn't honest with myself, Sam,

my whole life.

It took me a long time to

figure out why I wasn't...

Why I wasn't happy.

- So you weren't happy.

- No, no.

That's not what I meant.

Um...

I was so happy with our family,

with you, your mom.

I felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

That's why it was so hard.

I felt like, "Here I am.

I have the perfect wife

"a perfect, beautiful daughter.

Why don't I feel complete?"

You know?

And then I met Frankie.

Through my arch nemesis, Matt.

I don't think he had a master plan.

I mean, you know Matt.

And I don't think

he's capable of coming up

with a master plan.

You know I did actually have to show him

what an Excel sheet is?

Oh, your success sheets.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.

Point is, it's not Matt's fault.

I mean, I was just born

this way, you know?

He just gave me the courage

to accept who I am.

- Don't say it like that.

- What?

Oh, like he is some sort of hero.

Or at least a half decent guy.

He is.

You know that.

I'm just worried, you know?

I do.

Giving your heart to someone

is the scariest thing

to do in the world.

Hello.

He's a good guy.

And he likes you a lot.

I'm really sorry about everything.

You're my daughter.

You never have to say you're sorry.

And I love you.

Love you.

Now, oh, come on.

I'd still like to get married today

if you would still be my best woman.

- Let's get you to the altar.

- Yes.

- Ready?

- OK.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, and let's...

Let's get some of that

out of your hair, huh?

Oh, ew, ew, ew!

I totally forgot about that.

Oh, my God. How embarrassing

would that been

if I went still with this in my hair,

- walking down the aisle?

- Yeah, yeah, we're going.

Yeah, go, go, wedding.

Yeah, I'm going,

I'm going, I'm going.

Right, we're going, OK.

But unfortunately,

that's where the book and the movie differ

- because...

- They're here! They're here!

They're here! They're here.

- How do I look?

- You look good. Breath.

OK, Hello. Sorry, everyone.

So sorry, totally my fault.

Bird incident.

- Hi.

- I'm sorry.

It's OK.

I told them all about

my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies.

- They loved it, right, Matt?

- Mm-hmm.

- How are you doing, sweetie?

- Oh, I'm fine.

I just feel awful.

I'm really sorry.

No, don't be silly.

We are just glad that you're here now.

Thanks... Dad.

Oh.

You're gonna make me cry

before the ceremony.

Don't cry.

Hey, guys, this is beautiful,

but the makeup's starting to melt.

People are looking like the end

of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

- We should probably get started.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Come on, let's go.

- Let's go. Yes, OK.

Wow.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are gathered here today

to celebrate...

Ladies and gentlemen,

I now present to you

the two grooms.

Hey, where's Sam?

Oh, I think she's over there getting...

Oh, um, actually, I don't know.

Sorry. Sorry.

I mean, who knew that

turntables could make

that horrible noise, right?

Um, OK, I'm just going to

borrow this really quickly.

Sorry... sorry.

Sam.

I'm fine.

Um...

Hi.

Hi, everyone.

Um, I promise this won't take long.

Uh, I just wanted to say that my dad...

Hi, Dad...

Has always led by example,

whether it's how to sneak broccoli

under the table to the dog.

I remember that.

Or... or how to trip and then turn it into

a light jog so no one really

knows how clumsy you are.

You just did that this morning.

Stop her.

She's giving away my secrets.

He also taught me

how to be insanely organized

and how rules and charts

and always having a plan

can overcome any obstacle.

You see, I was thrown for

a loop when my dad met Frankie

because, well, this guy who

had always been so regimented

was suddenly throwing caution

to the wind and...

And taking a big swing on something

he couldn't have known the outcome of.

It threw me.

I mean, I was like, "Who is this guy?"

But what I didn't realize was,

he was just teaching me

another life lesson.

I'm not good at this whole

big, grand gesture thing,

but I do know I'm really tired

of playing it safe.

So, once again,

following in my dad's lead,

I am going to take a chance.

And instead of running the numbers

and sussing everything out,

I'm just gonna listen to my heart,

and my heart is telling me

I really want to give us a sh*t

if you'll go all in with me?

Well, lucky for you,

I ran the numbers.

They're perfect, Sam.

You are so perfect.

That was a really impressive speech.

Thank you.

You know, I actually learned

from this guy I met.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

He sounds amazing.

I bet that if I...

Mm-mm, no more bets.
