- [phone vibrating]

- [Utah barking]

- [klaxon blaring]

[Hattie sighs]

[klaxon blaring]

Now, why would you be calling

me so early this mornin'?

[Mom and Dad voices]

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

to you-ou-ou

[Mom and Dad mimic instruments]

[Hattie] Oh, thank y'all

so much. [chuckles]

Mom, I absolutely loved my card.

[Mom] Oh, good.

[Hattie] It's so sweet.

[Mom] So glad, baby.

[Hattie] And thank

you for the check.

[Dad] That was my idea. [laughs]

[Mom] You can use it

for whatever you like.

[Hattie laughs]

Are Jill and Arya

taking you to lunch?

Yes, ma'am, they are.

[Dad] Tell 'em we send our love.

Okay. I sure will.

Thank you so much for calling me

and singing to me.

[Parents] You're welcome.

I love you gigantic.

[Parents] We love you more.

[Hattie chuckles]

[Mom] Hattie, any romantic

plans this evening?

No, Mom.

I don't even have time

to think about that.

I am too busy.

[Dad] Good.

That's when love

usually comes along,

when you least

expect it. [laughs]

[Parents] Bye.

[mower engine droning]

[lively music]

I wasn't born yesterday

Or even the day before

So don't think I'm

gonna fall so fast

'Cause, honey, I

need to know more

[Neighbor] Good morning, Hattie.

[Hattie] Morning.

But they can cover

up what's inside

So 'til I know where

you're coming from

I ain't going fora ride

'Cause I'm foolproof

There's no use

sweet talking me

Just tell the truth.

I'm foolproof

Don't waste your time

If you're messing

with my mind

You can't fool me, baby

Into turning my love loose

'Cause I'm foolproof

[lively music]

Don't think that

I ain't watching

Every little movie you make

Hearts like mine are fragile

Only so much they can take

[lively music fades]

[beverage pouring]

[radio]

It cuts like a knife

Stings like a bee

Breaks your heart in two,

drives...

[bell ringing]

[Utah barking]

When good love goes bad

- [doorbell rings]

- [Utah barking]

Oh, oh.

Uh, be right there!

[Utah barking]

[door creaks]

Hey.

[Hattie] Yes.

I'm, uh, Henry.

I'm doing some yard

work across the street.

I got this extra pot of flowers.

Your neighbors don't need it

and I can't return it.

You want it?

[Hattie] Well, that's very kind

of you, but, um, no thank you.

I'm, I'm good.

[Henry] They're gonna be

beautiful in a couple weeks,

I promise.

They're gonna be these

beautiful yellow flowers.

[Hattie] I'm good.

[Henry] You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

[Utah barks]

- Oh, Utah.

- [Henry] Oh, hey.

Hi. Hello.

What is your name? Huh?

Come here.

[Hattie] Utah!

Oh, that's so good.

[Henry chuckles]

Get back in here.

- [Henry] "Utah", huh?

- Yeah.

[Henry]

That's a good name for a dog.

[Hattie chuckles]

Oh, thanks.

Yeah. Uh, thank you so

much for the offer.

- [Henry] Sure.

- Uh, but I guess

I gotta go, uh,

teach my dog how to

not talk to strangers.

- Huh. Yeah.

- [Hattie] So...

Yeah. Okay.

All right then.

- Have a good day.

- [Hattie] Yeah, yeah.

[door slams]

[Hattie] So, when are you

officially on maternity leave?

Mm, very close.

I'm editing the last

episode of the series

and then I'm off

the very next week.

Wow. Gosh, these eight

months have flown.

Mm, for you. [laughs]

And the baby shower's comin' up.

Oh, I can't wait.

It's gonna be so fun.

[Hattie gasps]

She made it!

Happy birthday, Hattie girl.

Thank you.

How's the mother to many?

Mm, I'm fine.

I'm so sorry I'm late, guys.

- Mm.

- Oh.

I had to take Micah, William,

and Luke to the dentist

for their checkup,

and then Titus and Lyric

had two parent-teacher

conferences.

And she still makes it

in time for the dessert.

[group laughing]

I don't know how you do it.

I mean, it's gotta be like

managing a herd of cats.

[Arya and Jill] Mm.

Get ready, Arya.

This is about to be

your new reality.

[Arya]

No, no, it's fine.

The more the merrier, guys.

Big families are where

it's at. [laughs]

- [Waitress] For the birthday

girl!

- [gasps]

- [claps]

[Arya] Blow your candle.

Mmm.

- Happy birthday

- Happy birthday.

Hattie, girl. [laughing]

So was your wish tall,

dark, and handsome?

Oh, stop.

Open your gifts.

[Hattie]

Okay. This was so sweet.

Hmm.

Oh, okay. Let's see.

A book about breathing

and a book about

being fully qualified.

Okay.

[Arya] "Breathing Room" is a

devotional book about balance,

something you know

nothing about.

And "Fully Qualified"

is about how, with God's

help, you can do anything.

And that involves things

that are not work related.

You know you're a

workaholic, right?

You should be

attending meetings.

I am not. [chuckles]

Do they really have

meetings for that?

[Arya] Ah, Hattie girl,

you know how much

we love you, right?

We just want you to find

the love of your life and...

get married.

Guys, it's just not

a priority anymore.

I almost got married once,

and that might be as

close as I ever get.

Bob does not count.

Bob was a complete jerk.

He doesn't deserve you.

We're just gonna erase that

chapter from your life.

[Hattie sighs]

You know, you guys sound

just like Mom and Dad.

Being single is not an

unwanted plague, you know?

I am living a very full

and wonderful life so far.

Ever since you

were a little girl,

you dreamed of being

married and having a family.

So we just wanna help

you reclaim that balance.

Hello?

I mean, at this point,

I am the champion at

putting lifelong dreams

on the back burner.

[soft music]

If you had another chance

at the country music thing,

would you take it?

I think I've dealt

with it in my own way,

and I'm okay with it

not ever happening.

[soft music continues]

But guys, I, I get to write

singalong songs for kids.

I feel so blessed.

I get to write songs for

little kids and big people too.

[Jill] I heard one you wrote

on the way over here.

[Hattie] Oh, which one?

"What Would Dolly Do?"

Oh, I love that song.

Thank you.

Yeah, you guys, I'm,

I'm really in a good

place right now.

And I feel very

content with my life,

with my career, and

my dog and my fish.

But you are open to

meeting humans too, right?

[soft music continues]

Open your last gift.

- [Jill] Mm-hmm.

- [Arya laughs]

[Hattie] Oh, I didn't realize

there was something else in here

in here.

Okay.

Y'all are too good to me.

[whimsical music]

A three-month subscription

for a dating app?

[whimsical music]

[Arya laughs]

Have y'all lost your minds?

Do you have pregnancy brain?

You seriously know

the horror stories

with this stuff, right?

[Jill] There are plenty

of horror stories

about non-online dating too.

You're making my point.

Guys, I don't have time

for a relationship.

- [Arya] Yes, you you do.

- [Jill] You have to make time.

Do you wanna hear

rest of our plan?

Do I have a choice?

[Arya]

You look gorgeous. [chuckles]

But for now,

act naturally

and tell the camera

what you're looking for.

Yep.

And then after we

upload everything,

the app will automatically

send you matches

based on the preferences

that you fill out.

Oh, and your username is

Beach Girl, for safety.

[Arya] All right.

Are you ready?

Okay. [clears throat]

Let's do this.

Three, two, one.

- Action.

- [camera beeps]

Hi, I'm Beach Girl,

and I'm single

and open to... open to

meeting new friends.

[Arya] Cut!

Guys aren't on a dating app

looking for new friends, Hattie.

[Jill]

It's called marriage.

Say it with me.

Marriage.

I don't talk like

that. [clears throat]

[Arya] All right,

let's go one more time.

Ready?

- [gentle music]

- [Hattie sighs]

Action.

Hi, I'm Beach Girl,

and although I'm married

to my career right now,

I am trying to be open

to the possibility

of marriage

[lively music]

Wishin' I was

sitting in Paris

At a small cafe

Thinking about drinkin'

espresso with a warm latte

Here goes nothing.

Let me be anywhere

Yikes.

But here

Okay. Does no one

wear clothes anymore?

Send me to the

edge of the moon

Past the comets and stars

Come on, you're not even trying.

That photo's from 1982.

[Henry chuckles]

This is stupid. This is stupid.

Let be anywhere,

anywhere at all

- Anywhere

- Let me anywhere

[Children] Uncle Henry!

Coming.

Anywhere at all

[Henry] Get in here.

What's up, guys?

- Hi, Uncle Henry.

- Good to see you.

- Lisa, hey.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- How's going, man?

- Good. How about you?

- You okay?

Oh, hangin' in there.

All right. Good, good.

All right, who's

ready to have fun?

- You, you, you, you?

- Me.

Com on.

[notification chimes]

[Automated Voice]

You have 357 matches.

You gotta be kidding me.

"I like my cats,

and they all sleep with me"?

That's a big no

from Utah, honey.

"You need to be very

beautiful and really sexy."

Okay.

Seriously?

Do people not wear

clothes anymore?

What the heck?

The lawn guy?

"Well, I'm here,

even though my mom

always taught me

to not talk to strangers."

[light music]

Yes.

[both laugh]

Beat you.

Uh,

You know I can't believe it's

been five years.

To the day.

[Josh] Yes. Ha!

This promise is making

it a whole lot harder.

Which promise?

[Josh] Yes. Ha!

I got you.

Before she passed away,

Astrid made Henry promise

that he wouldn't

go past five years

without moving on.

Movin'-on movin' on?

- Mm-hmm.

- [Lisa] Mm-hmm.

Dating.

And if it's one thing I know

to be true about my brother,

he is a man of his word.

For better or worse, yeah?

But hey, it takes at

least five, right?

[Henry] Mm.

[Lisa laughs]

You Holts with your

five date rule.

It's a family tradition.

It's tradition, right?

[Lisa] Yes. [laughs]

Okay. Guys, time to eat!

Then afterwards, I'm gonna

destroy you in cornhole.

[Josh] What?

[Henry] Yeah, you heard me.

[Amy] No, you're not.

[both laughing]

[Josh and Amy] Bye, Uncle Henry.

- See you, guys.

- [Josh] Love you.

[Amy] Love you.

- [horn honks]

- [car engine revving]

[Henry sighs]

[tender music]

[Henry sighs]

Hey, baby.

So I created a profile

on a dating app a few weeks ago,

and I activated it today.

I have no idea what I'm doing,

but I'm doing this

for you, okay?

[tender music continues]

Okay.

[tender music continues]

[Henry sighs]

[Henry sniffs]

[notification chimes]

[Automated Voice]

You have one match.

No way. [chuckles]

Look who it is.

[Hattie video]

Hi, I'm Beach Girl.

And although I'm married

to my career right now,

I am trying to be open

to the possibility of marriage

one day down the road.

I love my mom and dad.

I'm a huge family person,

and my friends are very

important to me as well.

I also love children.

And I have a dog named Utah

and a goldfish named Fred.

S far as what I'm looking for, A

I'm looking for someone who

will go to church with me,

someone who is

kind and thoughtful

and has the florist

on speed dial.

Oh, I could do better than that.

- omeone who loves the outdoors.

- S

I love the beach,

hence my profile name,

nd it would be pretty importanta

or you to like kids and music. f

Utah, dinner's ready!

[Utah barking]

My, Beach Girl's a real catch.-

- [Utah barks]

Whoever wins her heart's

a real lucky guy.

[Utah barking]

[Hattie mimicking bubbling]

- [mimicking bubbling]

- Yeah yeah!

- [banjo strumming]

- [Henry laughing]

[gentle music]

[Henry sighing]

[gentle music]

Yeah

Hmm

He created every flower

and the birds of the air

He's a great big God

He said let there be light

And there was

light everywhere

He's a great big God

He is Lord of all

And the king of kings

The highest high and

the Prince of Peace

Yet he calls me His

And meets my every need

'Cause He's a great big God

Great big God

- [singer] Oh

- [chorus] Great big God

[singer]

He's a great big God

[chorus] Great big God

[singer] Yes, He is

The crossing guard returns.

Oh, yes, he is

He's a great big God

[audience applauding]

[Andy] This is the beginning

of a discussion

on the new rules of

love, sex, and dating,

and I say that because

this is an introduction.

So if at the end

of tonight you go,

"Yeah, but what about,

what about, what about... "

It looks like the crossing

guide arrived just in time.

[Andy] And I wanna tell you

why I chose to do this series,

'cause somebody said,

"You know, Andy, you know,

60% of the people are married.

Why are you gonna

spend four weeks

talking just to single people?

And so here's the reason why.

The reason is this:

Because I want you to

have great relationships,

those of you who are single,

and you get to get it

right the first time.

And for some of you,

you've decided marriage is never

because you've never

seen a good one.

And I'm hoping in

the next few weeks

to make you wanna

get married, okay?

It's a sign.

You'll be proud.

I've already connected

with three guys:

a dentist, a minister,

and an attorney.

I guess I better

take some notes.

[Andy]

I wanna give you a big idea

that I want you to begin

to get your heads around

and your hearts around,

and I want you to

begin to think about,

because we're gonna

come back to this

over and over and over.

Here's the contrast.

The idea is this,

instead of finding

the right person,

the real issue is:

Are you becoming

the right person?

This is huge.

It's not a cute

little statement,

it's not a cute little phrase.

This is the whole

deal right here.

[gentle chiming music]

Yep. The Michinskys, right here.

Go ahead and take a seat.

Enjoy the show.

Thanks for coming.

[gentle lounge music]

Hi. Do you have a reservation?

[Hattie] Uh, yes. I'm meeting

someone here.

The name is Dr. Rick.

Dr. Rick? Awesome.

Let's see.

Look at that. You're the

last one to arrive too.

Let me take you to your seat.

Follow me.

- After you.

- [Hattie] Thank you.

[doors slam]

- [Hattie sighs]

- [gentle lounge music]

[patrons chattering]

[Host]

All right, everybody.

Welcome, everyone.

Thank you so much for coming.

I hope you are all ready to

laugh a lot and have fun.

We have a great lineup

for you tonight.

And to kick things off,

we're gonna start

with our first comic.

And here's something about him:

he's the only comedian

who guarantees laughter

'cause he travels with his

own laughing gas. [laughs]

And you need to brace

yourselves, folks,

or he'll do it for you.

It's America's funniest dentist,

Dr. Rick!

[audience cheering

and applauding]

[Rick] Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Hey, how's everyone

doing tonight?

Everyone doing good? Yeah?

Yes. Awesome.

Hey, I bet my day was

way worse than yours.

Your day's definitely

better than mine,

because, you know,

how would you like

to spend your days

trying to get

answers from people

when your hands are

literally in their mouth?

[audience laughing]

Like, you know?

And I bet some of you

all in here are wondering

and thinking to yourself, "Huh,

what does my dentist

like to do for fun?"

Well, this, for one thing. Yeah.

And also, uh, you're never

gonna believe this,

but what I'm about

to tell you next.

Right now, and I mean right no,

I'm actually on a blind date.

- [crowd gaps]

- Yeah.

She's actually here tonight

and she's sitting

right over there.

- Yeah!

- [audience applauding]

Lucky me, right? Yeah.

Hey. Oh, she's even cuter than

the video she posted online.

And I already know we

have something in common.

We're both desperately

looking for love

on a dating site.

[audience laughing]

[soft music]

[bell tolling]

[gentle chiming music]

Good afternoon.

Hello.

Everybody's inside.

"Everybody"?

I'm just here to see

Pastor Kevin Banks.

Yeah, the, the funeral,

it's already started.

The f... The funeral?

Yeah.

Pastor's mother died,

and he's inside conducting

the funeral right now.

His mo... His mother died?

Oh, my word.

Oh, just please give

him my condolences,

and tell him I,

I will reschedule, okay?

Hattie!

Oh. [laughs]

Oh, it is so good

to finally meet you.

I'm Pastor Kevin Banks.

Oh, yes, Kevin.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's fine.

I knew that we'd be

doing my mother's service

when we set the date.

It was a long illness and

it was to be expected,

but we have a wonderful

catered bereavement luncheon

downstairs in the

fellowship hall,

and I thought, [laughs]

"Why go somewhere

else and spend money

when the food that we have

here is perfectly good?"

[Kevin laughs]

Plus it will give you a

chance to meet all my family

and close friends.

Come on in.

They're just dying

to meet you. [laughs]

Sir! All right.

There's 500 people here.

Cue the music.

[lively organ music]

[birds chirping]

[Henry sighs]

[fireworks whistling]

[Henry sighs]

[birds chirping]

[watering can clanking]

[footsteps clicking]

[door creaking]

[gentle chiming music]

[light lounge music]

[phone ringing]

Oh, he actually looks

like his profile picture.

[Carson]

Oh, okay. J-James.

I gotta go.

Oh, all right.

Patty, what a

pleasure to meet you.

Hattie. [laughs]

Nice to meet you, Carson.

Oh.

Forgive me.

Oh, don't, don't worry about it.

I mean, before today you

only knew me as Beach Girl.

[both chuckle]

[phone vibrating]

Oh, excuse me.

Just one second.

Oh, of course.

This is Carson West.

Understood.

No, no, no Please

give all the details.

Listen, we have to stay focused

on what's important.

Speak soon.

Okay.

Mattie, where were we?

Oh, it's Hattie.

- [Carson] Hattie.

- Hattie, yeah.

Well, I was only one letter off.

At least I didn't

say "fatty", right?

[phone vibrates]

Oh.

Mr. Sanders, what

can I do for you?

[water pouring]

Oh, oh, oh. I'll,

I'll ave the calamari.

[Carson to phone]

And, and when was this?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get on that.

Okay. Well, we have to stay

focused on what's important.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll get back

to you in the morning.

[calm music]

I apologize for all

the interruptions,

but while even enjoying

our little first date here,

I managed to rack up 23 minutes

and 14 seconds of consultations.

Multitasking, it's a

lawyer's best friend.

So, uh, Beach Girl,

tell me,

what are you looking

for in a relationship?

Hattie.

My name is Hattie.

I'm not sure of

all the specifics

I'm looking for

in a relationship,

but pretty close to

the top of that list

is someone who knows my name!

But you know what?

I don't even care anymore

because I'm gonna live

the rest of my life alone,

happily alone!

[footsteps shuffling]

With my dog and my fish!

[patrons applauding]

[patrons chattering]

[Hattie sighs]

Let me help you with your daddy.

He's not my daddy.

He's my blind date.

[elderly man]

I? I ain't never late.

Who said I was late?

Blind date.

I ain't blind either.

I had cataract surgery,

I can see real good.

I met him on Happily Ever After.

Help.

[Octogenarian date sighs]

[traffic humming]

[Hattie sighs]

[Andy] If you wanna develop

some sweet dating skills,

here they are, okay?

If you want to prepare yourself

and get ready, ready, ready

for that, you know, you know,

that future relationship,

here is the way to do it.

This is how you

become the person

that the person

you're looking for

may in fact be looking for.

The list is found in one

of the most famous chapters

in all the Bible.

We're just gonna

hit a few of these.

1 Corinthians 13,

it's actually called

the what? The?

- [audience member] Love...

- [Andy] The love chapter.

That's right. It's

called the love chapter.

Love is patient.

Just practicing with you.

[audience laughing]

Okay, do you know

what patience means?

Here's what patience means.

Love, love never pressures

the other person,

ever.

Love creates as much

space and time and margin

as the other person needs.

Love is kind.

Love is considerate.

Love does not envy.

And do you know what envy is?

Envy is when I don't

feel so good about me,

so I can't let you feel

too good about you.

I don't feel too good about me,

so I can't let you feel

too good about you,

and I'm gonna drag you down,

drag you down, drag you

down, drag you down,

and destroys the intimacy

in the relationship.

It goes on.

Does not boast, is not proud.

Does not dishonor others.

Does not dishonor.

You know what, you

know what this means?

It means that when you date,

you never ever, ever create,

you never ever,

ever create regret.

This isn't about magically

finding the right person.

That's Disney.

You know, that's fantasy,

that's fairytales,

that makes good movies,

good TV, and good novels,

but it's not reality.

So I'm gonna put the ways

of childhood behind me

and I'm not gonna approach

my relationships anymore

thinking that if I magically

find the right person,

magically all the magic

things will happen.

From this point forward,

I'm gonna do

everything in my power

to become the person

that the person I'm looking for

is looking for.

[footsteps shuffling]

We're really sorry, Hattie.

We feel so bad.

[Hattie sighs]

Don't feel bad, guys.

I mean, how could

you have known?

Well, I still believe your

man is still out there,

somewhere.

Yes, and I believe

that he's preparing

to become the person

he is looking for

is looking for.

Well, God's gonna have

to make that connection

because I'm done with

dating at this point.

There's a better chance that

I'll become a bigger star

than Dolly Parton

than me ever finding a good man.

Both could still happen.

Love... Love comes when

you least expect it.

So says my dad.

See you at 4:00.

[footsteps clicking]

[car engine rumbling]

[Henry] Come on through, guys.

[Hattie sighs]

Enjoy your day.

Good to see you.

Have a good one.

Hi.

Come on through.

- The lawn guy?

- [Henry] Good to see ya.

Oh, look who it is.

Good to see you guys.

I don't wanna mess up you hair.

Oh, okay.

- To be here.

- [Lisa] Hi.

[Henry]

So good to see guys.

[Lisa] Good to see you, guys.

[quirky music]

- Good to see you guys.

- Good to see you guys.

Hey, we still doing lunch, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Yeah? Yeah?

See you soon.

[Josh] Bye.

See you, guys.

[car door slams]

Hey.

Roll down your window. Hey.

[car engine revving]

Wow, look who it is.

I tried to give you

flowers the other day.

Oh, I remember.

[Henry] Yeah. Yeah.

This is crazy.

We go to the same church?

[Hattie chuckles]

How are you liking

the dating series?

Well, I'm learning a lot.

[Henry] Yeah? Yeah, me too.

I'm taking tons of notes.

[horn honks]

Uh, maybe, uh, we,

maybe we could, uh,

you and I get together sometime,

compare notes.

Get together?

Like, you're...

Are you seriously asking

me out on a date right now?

Yeah.

Yeah, uh, I guess,

or we could call it a

small group gathering,

a very small group.

You should be

ashamed of yourself.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I'm, I'm confused here.

[Hattie] Oh, well, let me

clear it up for you.

You are a cheater!

Don't talk strangers

Don't talk strangers

Don't talk to strangers

you don't know

Don't talk to strangers

You might run into danger

Don't talk to strangers

you don't know

[Henry sighs]

[lively music]

[notification beeps]

[Automated Voice] You have

a message from Beach Girl.

[lively music continues]

Nothing's familiar

Everything about

him has changed

[Hattie] Are you kidding me?

It's bad enough that you're

on a dating app at all,

but you sent me a

connection request?

How dare you.

I hope this note wakes you up

and helps you get your

priorities straight.

After you read this note,

you will be blocked!

Just to work it out

[Hattie] You know, now that

I think about it,

he was totally hitting on me

when he tried to give me those

flowers at my front door.

I'm just glad you were able

to put all the facts together.

Yeah, but would you have ever

really been attracted

enough to go out with him?

I mean, I see you more with

a professional kind of guy.

[Hattie] Oh, like a dentist

or a lawyer or a minister?

Oh.

- Well-

- Yeah.

There is that.

But, seriously,

your bar has to be

set above a lawn guy.

Right, Hattie?

Hattie, doesn't it?

Arya, honey, my bar

is set on single.

And trust me, that

is where I like it.

It's what I know

and it's peaceful.

[Jill sighs]

Okay. [clears throat]

Okay, so given you've

had a few bum dates,

if there ever is another date,

I say we go with you.

Absolutely.

You know what?

There was a time when I would

have thought that was crazy;

but now, deal.

Take your time and try again,

but promise you

won't ever give up.

Yes, pinky promise.

'Cause if there's

one thing we know,

it's that Prince Charming

isn't just gonna

come up to your porch

and ring your doorbell.

[doorbell rings]

- [Hattie chuckles]

- [Jill laughs]

I'll get that.

[Hattie sighs]

You know what?

Yeah, yeah.

You know, I might be blonde,

but I ain't blind.

[Jill gaps]

It's the lawn care guy.

The nerve of this guy!

[Arya] No, no. No! No!

- [Hattie] You watch this!

- [Jill] Hattie.

Let me tell you some...

[Josh screams]

[Hattie sharply exhales]

[Lisa] Oh, um...

Good afternoon, Beach Girl.

I thought it'd be

important to stop by

and let you know

I'm not a cheater.

I'm actually one

of the good guys.

I'm Lisa, I'm Henry's sister.

And this is Amy, his niece.

And, uh, this is

Josh, his nephew.

When you saw us today,

the kids and I were

going to get the car

to pick up my husband

at the church entrance.

He's on crutches.

Just had knee surgery.

Yes. And...

Uh, my brother does

wear a wedding band,

but he's not married.

You know, he is a good guy.

And we just wanted

you to know that.

Oh, well, um, first off, I'm...

I'm so sorry.

Um, I seem to have

upset the children.

I've never had this

type of reaction before.

I mean, most people who know me,

they call me Mrs. Rogers.

I love children.

I know.

Well, that's all

we came by to say.

Have a good weekend.

Wait.

Uncle Henry is the

best uncle ever.

[Lisa] All right.

Henry, wait.

Okay, let's go.

I'm so sorry.

I hope you won't

hold it against me.

Well, my sister told me

that you jumping

to this conclusion

was actually a

sign of integrity.

And I agree.

[Hattie chuckles]

Well, can I make it

up to you somehow?

Huh.

Have dinner with me.

Okay.

Tomorrow night?

Okay.

Okay.

[calm music]

Yeah.

[Henry] Good. Unblock me on

Happily Ever After

and we'll set it up.

[Hattie] I can do that.

All right.

[friend clears throat]

Excuse us.

We had a deal, remember?

Uh. Um, yeah.

Henry, um, I...

I sort of promised my

friends here that, uh,

they could come along

on my next date.

- Oh.

- [Hattie] For support?

Okay. Sure.

Yeah.

The, I mean, the more

the merrier, I guess.

And vetting.

[gentle music]

Green, definitely your

color, by the way.

Bye.

[gentle music continues]

[lively music]

Oh.

[Hattie grunts]

[door slams]

It's warm as sunshine

As gentle as rain

It can put a broken

heart together again

Yeah, yeah

Love works every time

It can take the impossible

And make it all right

Love works every time

It's the key that

unlocks the door

To the best things

in this life

[Henry] Well, uh, I was

born in Brooklyn,

but I'm an army brat,

so I grew up all over the world.

[Jill] Did you go to college?

Cornell for undergrad

and then Wharton

School of Business.

And with those two

impressive degrees,

you mow lawns?

What can I say?

I love being outdoors.

Would you say you're

an underachiever?

[Henry laughs]

Well, uh...

[Hattie clears throat]

I'm originally from Knoxville,

but the three of us met

when we all lived in Miami.

Beach Girl, ah.

Yeah.

Ah, okay.

That's where it comes from.

So I moved to Georgia

to attend SCAD.

The art school?

Yes, and Arya

went to NYU Film School

and Jill went to Duke.

[Henry] Wow. Okay.

And, and you write children's

books for a living?

Yes, I do.

I write children's

books and I write songs.

[Arya] But she started off as

a country music singer.

Really?

Wh-how long did you do that?

Um, long enough to know

that as much as I

love performing,

I also love paying my

car payment on time.

It's understandable.

So Arya here

directs TV and film.

I don't think he cares about us.

Yeah, of course I do.

Mm, no, you don't.

And Jill was a teacher

until she started

popping out children

at the rate of rabbits.

- [Arya laughs]

- You're exaggerating.

- She's exaggerating.

- [Henry chuckles]

[Hattie] She has five kids

under the age of 10.

You do the math.

Yeah.

And Arya, this is your first?

Yes.

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's a girl. [laughs]

[Henry] Cool.

So, what do you like to do

when you are not working?

Great question.

Uh, I also like the beach.

Who doesn't? Um...

I really do like being outdoors.

I'm into music.

I have a huge vinyl collection.

I love reading.

Let's see.

I'm a, I'm a decent cook,

mainly on the grill.

And as you now know,

my sister lives here,

so I spend time with

her and her family.

Hmm.

Well, I would bet that my

vinyl collection rivals yours.

Really?

[Hattie] Mm-hmm.

Huh.

So where do you live?

I live in Milton.

I bought a fixer-upper

and renovated it.

So you were able to purchase

and renovate a home in

Milton moving lawns?

[Henry laughs]

Your investigators

are very thorough.

Uh, I am currently just helping

out my brother-in-law Art.

He owns one of the franchises.

He just had knee surgery, so

I'm just kind of stepping in.

I own the company. I started it.

Um, we are now in 42 states

and we employ over 2,000 people.

Wow. That is impressive.

So,

the ring.

Yeah. Yeah, the ring.

Uh, I was married.

I'm a widower.

Her name was Astrid.

Um, she passed away

five years ago.

Cancer.

And, uh,

she was great, really great,

tough fighter.

I miss her every day.

Hattie, you, ever married?

Not now, but, uh, ever?

I was engaged once.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Bob doesn't count.

Henry, your chariot Awaits.

[Henry] Thank you, Thomas.

Appreciate it.

You ready?

[plane engine droning]

[Hattie] Well, aren't

you full of surprises?

I've got one more for you.

I was thinking before we land,

we should make a commitment.

A commitment?

Yeah.

We should commit to

going on five dates.

Five dates?

[Henry] Mm-hmm.

Okay. Why five?

Because it takes at least five

to really get to know someone.

Yeah, it seems to me you

can get to know someone

after one date.

Agreed.

No offense, ladies,

but this does not count

as one of the five.

Hattie and I have

to fly solo on this.

- We get it.

- Yes, we get it.

Oh, one more thing.

For the duration

of the five dates,

we remain exclusive.

No outside influences.

And after that, we'll, you know,

decide if we go on five more.

Deal?

[plane engine droning]

Deal.

Okay.

[plane engine droning]

[group chattering]

[Arya] What's in

here? [screaming]

[group chattering]

Arya could have gone

into labor up there.

Hey, you are the ones who

insisted on coming along.

Mm, he's so cute, right?

- He is.

- And sweet.

Mm-hmm.

Bob was really

cute and sweet too.

And I'm not saying he is Bob,

but just take your time.

Don't rush anything.

So, uh, when's date number one?

Our first official date

is tomorrow for lunch.

And he is taking me to Milton's.

Mm?

- Hmm.

- In broad daylight.

- Mama approves.

- [doorbell ring]

Uh, here.

- You take this-

- Yes.

And I'll be right there.

You're nothing but

a hole in my heart

You're just a empty space

[Hattie] Bob?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was just in the, uh,

in the neighborhood,

you know, driving by.

I saw all the cars,

I thought maybe somebody

had died or something.

[Hattie] No one died, Bob.

This is Arya's baby shower.

Good, good. Lucky guy, huh?

You were in the neighborhood?

Have you moved?

You live like 30

miles from here.

[Bob] Yeah, well, sometimes I

like to take rides, okay?

To relax.

You should try it sometime.

Anyway, can I use your bathroom?

I have really gotta go.

Yes, you do, Bob.

You have to go, away.

Mm, yeah.

I'm just looking for the sign.

What sign?

You know, the sign,

sign that says, "Public

restrooms here."

Go use the bathroom, Bob.

Thank you.

[Hattie] Ha.

Stop stopping by

every six months.

It's like you're on

the same schedule

as my termite inspector.

Gotta love a good simile.

Right.

- Ah! Whoa.

- [Utah barking and growling]

You. Still alive.

Oh, hi. [mutters]

No words.

Oh, I've got words,

but I'm gonna keep this rated G.

You were nothing

[door slams]

[gentle music]

[notification beeps]

[gentle music continues]

[lively music]

[Hattie] Wow, it looks

like they're not even open.

[Henry] They're not.

The owner's a good

friend of mine.

[Hattie] Oh.

[Henry] Mm-hmm.

[Hattie] Mm. Mm-mm.

[Henry] Mm-hmm?

I could eat this every day.

I'm glad you like it.

[Hattie chuckles]

All right, so tell me, what,

what inspires you to write?

Like, how do you come up

with what you write about?

Hmm.

I just

sort of tap into my inner child

and just try to write about

what I think, you know,

will stimulate

their imaginations.

[Henry]

Hmm. I mean, that's a gift.

Not everyone can do that.

[Hattie] Thank you.

That's cool.

[Hattie chuckles]

All right, here's a harder one.

- Uh-

- [Hattie] Okay.

Your greatest achievement.

Mm.

Head of safety

patrol, sixth grade.

We're going that far back?

- [Hattie] I guess.

- Wow. Okay

[Hattie] You?

Um,

I'd have to say my

successful third attempt

at getting my learner's permit.

Okay. Well, I'm

glad I know that now

instead of when we

were at 5,000 feet.

[Henry laughs]

Oops.

- You know-

- [Henry] Hmm?

I've been thinking.

It's kinda crazy how we

were kinda talked into this

by other people.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

I've been thinking

about that too.

Uh, so far so good,

though, right?

[Hattie] Surprisingly, I

would have to agree.

I'm sorry if I'm coming

off as nervous at all.

This is just this, uh,

this is uncharted

territory for me.

So you have to be a little

patient, I'm afraid.

No, it's, it's all good.

No worries.

[Henry]

Okay, so circling back.

Uh, let's stay in this decade.

What are you most proud of?

So this one time,

there was a little girl

with Down's syndrome

named Jacqueline.

She came to one of

my book signings

and she told me that my book

was the very first

book she'd ever read.

And she just burst out into

one of my singalong songs.

[Hattie laughs]

She, I mean, she performed like

she was on a Broadway stage.

[Henry laughs]

It was so cute.

And when she was done,

everyone applauded.

And she took a bow,

gave me a thumbs up,

and left with her mom. [laughs]

- Wow.

- [Hattie giggles]

[Hattie] I'll never forget it.

Yeah, I bet.

How about you?

[Henry] Um, I had the chance

to do landscaping

for this disabled veteran,

and Wounded Warriors

built his house,

and the whole experience

was incredible,

and my company gave this

veteran a franchise,

and now his franchise.

He's grown it into one

of the top producers

in the country.

I was so excited for him.

It's crazy.

That's awesome. [clears throat]

Would you like some bread?

Davis. Thank you, Yes.

Davis, this is Hattie.

Hattie, this is Davis.

- He's the owner's son.

- [Hattie] Hi, Davis.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

Thank you so much, man.

- Thank you.

- Appreciate it.

Thanks.

This has been a

perfect first date.

[Henry] Good. It's not over yet.

Okay...?

[Henry] Since we have a

shared love of vinyl,

I'm gonna take you

to my secret licorice

pizza depository.

After dessert,

- of course.

- [Hattie] Oh, okay.

We have to have dessert.

- Duh.

- [Henry laughs]

I believe you're

gonna drive me crazy

I really got it bad for you

I hope you gonna be my baby

Before too long

Before too long

Because it's evident you

really stole my heart

So before we spend too

much more time apart

There's no need for

you to have wonder

About the spell of

yours I seem to be under

Every time I

think of you, baby

I wanna hold that thought

Every time I

think of you, baby

I wanna hold that thought

There's not a second

you'll never find

When you're not on my mind

Every time I

think of you, baby

I wanna hold that thought

[lively music fades]

[Hattie sighs]

[gentle music]

[Hattie sighs]

[light music]

[Henry] All right. So where did

the name Utah come from?

I actually blindfolded myself

and threw a dart at a

map of the United States.

That's where it landed.

[light music continues]

[Hattie laughs]

- I'm just kidding.

- You just...

Okay.

I just always

wanted to go there.

The Arches National Park

is on my bucket list.

Amazing. That place is amazing.

[light music continues]

So the five date rule thing...

- Mm-hmm.

- Uh,

where did that come from?

[Henry chuckles]

That is courtesy of my parents.

My mom and dad, way

into their marriage,

they realized that they

already made up their mind

about each other

after the fifth date.

So then it kind of became

this sentimental

phrase between them,

and they'd say it

takes, "At least five."

So with Lisa and I growing up,

they would always

use that phrase

as a way to remind

us that love is real,

but just be careful not to

jump into it too quickly.

[light music continues]

Did that work with

you and Astrid?

Yeah. Yeah, it did actually.

And Lisa and her husband Art,

exact same thing. [chuckles]

Now, Henry, if you ever

wanna talk about Astrid,

I don't mind.

I know that she'll always

be a huge part of your life,

and I respect that.

[Henry] Yeah.

I... I appreciate that.

Thanks. Same for you.

You know, if you

ever feel the need

to talk about that guy Bob.

I don't,

but thanks.

Okay.

That's as good as

it's gonna get.

Are you ready?

[Hattie] Yeah.

[Henry mimicking trumpet]

Oh my gosh.

- Huh?

- That is...

that is so good.

- How are you so good.

- Not bad.

Just wait until it's

glazed and all fired up.

It's gonna be better.

Utah's gonna love that.

Good. I hope so.

Okay. I, I, I think

mine is ready.

Now I'm nervous.

Okay, let's see it.

I'm ready.

Best uncle ever. [laughs]

I remembered.

[Henry] That is brilliant.

That's really good.

I'm gonna drink from

that every morning.

- Oh, you better?

- Amazing.

You know, I'm, uh,

I'm glad you decided to break

your don't talk

to strangers rule.

I'm glad you did too.

Even though you did bless me out

in the middle of a church

parking lot. [groans]

[Hattie chuckles]

Yeah, sorry about that.

It's fine. I don't

hold it against you.

- Forgiveness, right?

- Yep.

[gentle music]

Sun is coming up

Over South Main Street

City's coming alive

Cafe aromas

Hummingbirds humming

And pine trees fading

on a clear blue sky

[gentle music fading]

- 'Cause I'm foolproof

- [Utah barking]

Sing at, Utah.

[tender music]

"I know we both love vinyl,

but I think it's time

for some live music.

See you at 6:00 PM."

[tender music continues]

[lively music]

[singer]

And I still skip rocks

Whenever I walk by a river

And I still throw strikes

To an imaginary hitter

Still hear my mother's voice

And the words

she would impart

Go out and play

Do what you say

And be home by dark

And be home by dark

[lively music]

He wakes up in the

morning sometimes

Wondering who is

playing this joke

A man in the subway

is talking about Jesus

But Richard's never seen

God's name in billboard

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh, no

[gentle music]

I have taken all

your pictures

Off the wall

When the phone rings

I keep hopin'

That it's you

makin' the call

And the world still turns

But it's me who's

standing still

Holding on to

all we once had

Wonderin'

If I always will

If I hadn't cried

all of those tears

And felt enough pain

To last me for years

And hurt with an ache

so deep down inside

That I wondered if

it would ever subside

If you hadn't left it broken

This heart in two

I'd have missed love

'Cause I'd have missed you

- Whoo!

- [Henry and Hattie clapping]

- [Hattie] So good.

- [Henry] I tell ya.

Welcome to our rehearsal, guys.

- [Henry] Well, thank you.

- [Singer] Hattie,

Henry told us

that you used to perform.

Would you share a song with us?

Oh, well, well, no, I,

I'm just loving

hearing you guys play.

Y'all sound so good.

Oh no. Come on.

I know I would love

to hear you sing.

I don't know about you guys.

[Band Members] Yeah, me too.

- Come on, come on now.

- Oh, okay.

- Get up there.

- All right.

[Henry] That's what

I'm talking about.

It's been a while, so...

Oh, well, what do

y'all wanna play?

Well, "What Would Dolly Do?"

[Hattie]

"What would Dolly Do?"

Okay.

I actually wrote that song,

and I wrote it about

Miss Dolly Parton,

and it's really

my tribute to her.

Wait, you wrote,

"What Would Dolly Do"?

- Yes.

- Oh, my goodness,

I love that song.

[group laughs]

You're so sweet.

Thank you so much.

Well, all right, I mean,

I'm ready to play it.

Thanks, Mama Jan.

[lively music]

Hey, y'all sound so good.

Are my lips too bright

Are my clothes too tight

Well, are my heels too high

Oh, I don't know.

And if I tease my hair

Put rhinestones everywhere

Are people gonna stare

Oh, maybe so

But what would Dolly do

I'm just over here trying to

Take what God gave

and make it bigger

Yeah, I'm just trying

to hang with her

No one's perfect, I know

But I'd say she's

pretty close

So when I ask myself

how I should be

I ask W W D D

[lively music]

I had so much fun.

Oh, man.

Being on stage again like that,

it just lit a fire under me

that I haven't felt in years.

Seems like Henry is making

all the right moves.

He really is.

I really like him.

We do too.

[Hattie laughs]

So how many dates has it been?

Three, and, uh, so four is

actually tomorrow night.

And where's he gonna

take you this time?

Top of the Eiffel Tower?

[Hattie laughs]

I don't know.

I guess I will find out

Mm.

Mm.

Mm. [deeply exhales]

What?

It's so good.

- [light music]

- [keyboard clacking]

[Henry blowing raspberries]

[notification beeps]

[gentle music]

It's a date, Henry Holt.

[gentle music continues]

[Hattie sighs]

Good night, Utah.

[gentle music fades]

[phone ringing]

Who in the world could that be?

[switch clicks]

You gotta be kiddin' me.

"Hello, Ms. Fisher.

My name is Calvin Shilling.

I'm not sure if you remember me,

but I'm the president of Wilson

Management in Nashville."

Oh, yeah, I remember you.

You passed on me. Twice.

- [Utah growls]

- [Hattie sighs]

"We would like to speak with you

about potentially signing

you to our label"?

"When you approached

us a few years back,

the timing just wasn't right.

Yesterday, Mama Jan

reached out to me

and reminded me of who you are

and told me how impressed

she was with your talent.

I propose we try to work out

a singer/songwriter

development deal for you.

This doesn't happen often.

Please let us know if

you have any interest.

Timing is everything."

[gentle music]

Utah.

This is crazy!

What am I gonna do?

[Hattie sighs]

[Andy]

Every single Saturday

n countries all over the world, i

single people come together

and they stand at an altar

in this thing we call a wedding.

And they hold hands

and they exchange rings

and then somebody like

me, or a pastor, says,

"Repeat after me,"

and they take vows.

And every single

Saturday in this city

and in cities all

over the country,

single people make promises

that they can't keep

and make vows they

can't fulfill.

And they want to and they try,

but they just aren't

prepared to do it.

And the reason

they're not prepared

is that they

overlooked a principle

that all of us understand

in every other realm of life,

but when it comes

to relationships,

we don't think this is true.

And here's the principle.

Promises are no substitute

for preparation.

Promises are no substitute

for preparation!

If you've ever entered

a long-distance race

or you're a long

distance runner,

you know all about this.

It's one thing to

sign up for the race,

it's another thing

to prepare for it.

And if you're not prepared,

it's a waste of time to

promise that you'll finish.

Because what determines

whether or not you finish

a long-distance race

is not the promise,

it's not even your signature,

it's whether or not

you've prepared.

I want you to commit now

to becoming someone who can

keep their commitments later.

I want you to commit

now, not to a person,

not to a relationship,

not to a marriage,

I want you to commit

now to becoming someone

who can keep their

commitments later.

This is the goal.

This is what you

should be working on,

so that when you say I do,

you really can do, you know?

[gentle music]

[Henry whistling]

You notice anything

on the table?

Hattie?

Earth to Hattie. Hello.

Oh, whoa.

Did you just say something?

I'm so sorry.

[Henry chuckles]

Is everything okay?

You're not vegetarian, are you?

'Cause it's a little

late for that.

I'm sorry, Henry.

I, I, I just have a lot

on my mind right now,

and I have a really big

decision that I have to make

and I have to make it soon, so...

Is it anything I can help with?

[grill sizzling]

No. Actually, this is

our fourth date

and we're gonna have fun, okay?

I like that attitude.

[gentle music]

Hey!

Are these the flowers that you

brought to my house that day?

[Henry laughs]

Yeah. Yeah, those are it.

That's, that's

very astute of you.

Well done.

Wow.

Yeah, it's, uh,

Coreopsis Jethro Tull.

That's the name of it.

- [Hattie] Wow. [laughs]

- I'm not lying.

Yeah, I've been, uh,

I've been waiting a

while to show you that.

Oh. Well, you definitely

have a green thumb.

[Henry]

Oh, thank you.

- Yeah.

- They're beautiful.

Okay, so you're sitting

down, this is good,

'cause I have a very

serious question for you.

Okay.

Favorite movie, go

"Blind Side."

- Really?

- [Hattie] Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

- [Hattie] Yeah.

- Huh?

- [Hattie] You?

Mm, "The Godfather."

Okay. Seriously,

though? Everyone dies!

No, no, no, no.

See, it's, it's a family film.

That's my Brando:

"It's family.

It's about family." [laughs]

- Okay.

- I know "The Godfather."

[phone rings]

oh, uh, I'm sorry,

just a second.

[Henry sighs]

Okay. [sniffs]

Okay, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Um, okay, so I have

a question for you.

Okay. sh**t.

What did you wanna be

when you were growin' up?

Hmm. Good one.

Uh, okay,

so I wanted to be an astronaut,

and then that kind of

morphed into a cowboy.

Okay, of course.

[Henry] Of course.

Uh, and then for a while there,

I wanted to be a surgeon.

Oh?

Clearly none of that

panned out for me.

- Um...

- [Hattie laughs]

Well, I think you

turned out all right.

[Henry] Oh, thank you.

You did all right yourself.

So you, is it singer/songwriter?

That was, like, from the get go,

- that's what you wanted to do?

- [Hattie] Oh, yeah.

I've always wanted to

be a singer/songwriter

for as long as I can remember.

Um, I was about eight

years old, I guess it was,

and I told myself,

"I am born to do this, and...

I want to do it for

the rest of my life,

and nothing's gonna stop me."

- [Henry] Yeah?

- So...

[Henry]

I think it's cool, what you do.

You're inspiring kids

everywhere, you know,

with your talents.

- Yeah.

- [Henry] I admire that.

- It's cool.

- Thank you. Yeah.

I, I, I do enjoy it.

- [Henry] Yeah.

- [Hattie] Mm.

Well, also think about

what that other life

would look like, you know?

You're this, I don't

know, famous musician,

you're on the road every week.

You, you have no time

for family or friends.

That sounds kind of miserable.

[birds chirping]

[Hattie laughs]

[children cheering and clapping]

Great job!

Wow, y'all are doing

such a great job.

Okay, we're gonna

shift gears now.

Can anyone tell me

what a bully is?

A bully is someone

who is really mean.

That's right.

Now, is it cool or is it

not cool to be a bully?

[Children] Not cool.

That's right.

Yes, exactly. [laughs]

[phone rings]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I gotta turn this

off. [chuckles]

[phone vibrating and ringing]

Okay.

Does anyone know what

The Golden Rule is?

To treat people the way

you want to be treated?

That's exactly right.

Wouldn't the world

be a better place

if we all did that?

[Children] Yes.

Okay, so you all know the

song "Don't be a Bully."

Do you wanna sing it?

[Children] Yes!

[Hattie] Here we go.

Don't be a bully

Bullies are not cool

Don't be a bully

Obey The Golden Rule

It says be nice

Just like you want

others to treat you

It says be nice

Just like you want

others to treat you

Don't be a bully

[children cheering

and applauding]

[phone ringing and vibrating]

[Hattie sighs]

My grandma says cell

phones are a nuisance.

[Hattie gasps]

I can't believe

you had the nerve

To walk out on me

Without sayin' a word

- [lively music]

- [doorbell chimes]

You're nothing but a hole...

[Hattie] Be right there!

You're just an empty space

You're nothing...

Bob, what are you doing here?

I have a million things

going on right now.

Thought you'd be

happy to see me.

What would make you think that?

[Utah growling]

Hattie, look, I know

that I messed up, okay,

a lot,

but I've come to

my senses, okay?

I, I'd like a fresh start.

I mean, I, I think

that we're worth it.

There is no "we", Bob.

[Bob] Yeah, but can't

we at least, like,

have dinner and talk this over?

No, we can't.

Okay, well,

think about all the

fun times that we had.

Huh?

You remember that?

All I know, Bob,

is that you cannot be trusted.

Goodbye, Bob.

[car engine rumbling]

[Henry sighs]

[truck door slams]

[birds chirping]

If this is the last goodbye,

can I at least

have one last hug?

[Utah growls and barks]

Good grief.

If this will get you

to leave, here you go.

It's just, uh,

I miss you so much, Hattie.

Oh. All right, Bob.

Oh, Hattie, I miss

you so very much.

You have no idea.

Oh. Okay, okay, Bob.

Here, [groans]

here's your hug, Bob.

You got your hug.

Oh, let go, Bob.

[Bob crying]

I can't.

You were supposed to be mine.

You were supposed to be mine.

[Hattie faintly speaking]

Bob, if you don't let go,

I'm gonna call for help.

[Henry] Well, I guess I'm not

the only one full of surprises.

[Hattie gasps]

This must be Bob, huh?

The one you claim to be over?

Uh, Bob, yeah,

he was about to leave, actually.

I don't have to.

Yeah, you do, Bob.

So, so this is what all

the mysterious phone calls

and texts were about.

[birds chirping]

[Hattie sighs]

Okay.

I'm just gonna... [sighs]

- Nice car.

- [Bob] Yeah.

[car door slams]

[car engine starts and revs]

See, I'm confused 'cause

I thought that we promised

to be exclusive for five dates.

Didn't we?

See, when I make a promise,

that's a big deal to me.

Yeah, that's a big

deal to me too.

- [Henry] Is it?

- Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

Wow.

Being single is a lot easier.

[pensive music]

Yeah, you're right.

This is...

Yeah, this is too hard.

There's just no

good in goodbye

There's just no

answer to why

We couldn't make it, no

If we knew then

what we know now

Think we could

make it somehow

Oh

There's just no

good in goodbye

'Cause, baby

This just doesn't feel right

[Hattie sobbing]

[Jill] So what is the offer?

It was everything

I've ever dreamed of,

almost. [crying]

It's, it's a development

deal as a singer/songwriter,

it's a signing bonus.

It's recording all new

songs in the studio

and it's opening up

for some of the biggest

acts in country music.

And it's a, a publishing deal!

I've always wanted one

of those. [sobbing]

That sounds great.

Um, why the almost?

Because I'd have to

move to Nashville.

- [Jill clears throat]

- [Hattie crying]

You love Nashville,

so why is that so hard?

Because you and Arya

made me start dating.

Why'd you do... Why'd you do it?

Um, Hattie, I,

I think you just

need to tell him.

I think you just

need to talk to him.

I can't tell him,

I can't tell him.

I wanted to tell him when we

was walking and I thought,

"I can't do it."

I couldn't do it.

I had to ruin it all.

He probably thinks

I'm high maintenance.

Oh, I know he thinks

I'm high maintenance.

Do you think I'm

high maintenance?

Medium.

[Hattie bawling]

When's the last

time I was on time

and Arya was late?

Yeah, where is she?

[Hattie bawling]

[doorbell rings]

[Hattie bawling]

Utah, this is, like,

the worst country song ever.

[door creaks]

[Jill clears throat]

She's in the living room.

- [door creaks]

- [Hattie crying]

Hey, Arya.

Welcome to my meltdown! [crying]

A record label

offered me a deal,

and I couldn't tell

Henry. [crying]

[Henry] What'd you say?

[gentle music]

[Hattie sighs]

The other night after I sang,

Mama Jan contacted a

record label in Nashville,

and they practically

offered to sign me.

I didn't know what

I was gonna do.

I, I still don't know

what I'm gonna do.

[gentle music]

You made a great

point the other day

when you said that living

that life might be miserable.

Oh, and Bob, Bob.

Henry, I am over Bob.

I have been over

Bob a long time.

It was supposed to

be a goodbye hug;

he would not let go of me!

I was just trying to be polite.

It's a Southern thing.

[deeply inhales]

[Hattie sighs]

I do keep my commitments.

I know I said life

is easier single,

but that doesn't

mean it's happier,

at least not now.

[soft music continues]

I came back to tell you

the exact same thing.

Not the part about

the music offer, um,

definitely not the

part about Bob,

but, uh,

[Hattie laughs]

that whole bit

about being happy.

[Hattie chuckles]

[Utah barking]

- Oh.

- [Hattie laughs]

Listen, me saying that the

life of a singer/songwriter

on the road, that

being miserable,

that was me trying to

make you feel better.

And if this is what

you really want, truly,

you have to take it.

You know that.

But I'd have to

move to Nashville.

So what?

It's a four-hour drive, and I,

I have locations there

that I need to check up on.

And if you're there,

I'll do it more often:

weekly, biweekly,

daily probably.

Yeah.

You got a little...

- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Ready? Blow.

[Hattie blows nose]

Oh, wow. Yep.

[Jill] Guys!

Guys, guys, guys, guys,

I hate to break up this

very special moment,

but Arya's going into

labor, like, right now!

Yeah, I know. And...

you know, I've

been her labor coach,

so I have to be there,

but I have to go pick up the

kids in, like, 30 minutes.

So I don't really know...

Okay. Okay. Uh...

listen, you go to

the hospital, obviously,

and then we will

pick up the kids.

Right? We'll take 'em

back to my place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That works.

I'm on the pickup list.

Oh, my God.

Thank you guys. Thank

you guys so much.

[lively music]

Congratulations, you two.

Lovey. [chuckles]

A baby!

- That's crazy.

- Oh, my goodness.

Oh.

- Where are my keys?

- We gotta go.

[children chattering]

[Henry] Okay.

Oh.

Figure out a way to

bottle up all that energy

and we'd have a successful

business of some sort.

[Hattie] I know, right?

I, I tell Jill

that all the time.

[Henry chuckles]

So do you ever think

of doing the mom thing?

You know, uh, as much

as I love kids, I,

I think it's nice to have

'em in little snippets

instead of 24/7.

I don't know. I mean, maybe.

Now, y'all be, be careful, okay?

Hey, hey, now, hit

the ball with the bat,

not your brother's head.

[Child] I'm so satisfied.

You'd be a great mom.

Oh, well, if you can figure

out how I can do that

without having to go through

what Arya's going through

- right now.

- Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah.

No, I'll do some research.

I'll get back to you on that.

[phone ringing]

Oh, oh.

What do we have?

Okay, let's see.

[Hattie gasps]

- [Henry] Wow.

- [Hattie] She's here.

[Henry] She's beautiful.

[Hattie] She is beautiful.

[tender music]

[Henry chuckles]

That's awesome.

- Hmm.

- Wow.

What?

[Hattie sighs]

I, I don't know. I'm...

I'm leaning towards,

like, just staying here.

I need to take that

publishing deal.

If I take the publishing deal,

then I can write

here from my house,

and I don't have to,

I don't have to leave.

I can stay and I don't have to

leave the people that I love.

You sure?

Yeah, I think.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Uh, well, look, I mean,

think this through, right?

I want you to weigh

all your options here.

I don't want you

to make a decision

and then regret it

later, and, you know?

This is a big deal.

But whatever it

is, I'm, I'm here.

I'll support it.

Excellent advice, Dr. Phil.

Mm, thank you.

[Hattie deeply inhales]

One day at a time, right?

Or one date at a time.

[gentle music]

[gentle chiming music]

Well, what do you think?

Did I earn it?

Earn what?

Five more dates?

Oh, hmm.

I guess I'm probably gonna

have to think about it.

Oh.

[Hattie] Mm-hmm.

Just don't think for too long.

[gentle music]

[gentle music fades]

[lively music]

Ooh, yeah

Oh

I'd been searching

for love for so long

Didn't think I'd

possibly find it

Through long, lonely winters

My heart had grown cold

Never having the

love that I needed

Then you came into my life

Your love touched my

heart and opened my eyes

For once in my life

I realized

Oh

Love changes everything

Makes you wanna dance

Makes you wanna sing

And love changes everything

Life is so much better

Knowing we're together

Love, love, love

Changes everything

The flames of our fire

Grow warmer and higher

I know your love

always surrounds me

With you by my side

And with your hand in mine

I just feel I

can do anything

It's good to always know

Now that I have you

My heart's found a home

For once in my life

I'm not alone

Oh

Love changes everything

Makes you wanna dance

Makes you wanna sing

And love changes everything

Life is so much better

Knowing we're together

And love, love, love

Changes everything

[lively music]

It's good to always know

Now that I have you

My heart's found a home

- For once in my life

- For once in my life

I'm not alone

'Cause love

changes everything

Makes you wanna dance

Makes you wanna sing

And love changes everything

Life is so much better

Knowing we're together

And love, love, love

Changes everything

Love changes everything

Makes you wanna dance

Makes you wanna sing

And love changes everything

Life is so much better

Knowing we're together

And love, love, love

- Changes everything

- Love changes everything

Yes, it does

Make you wanna dance

- Makes you wanna sing

- You know it does

And love changes everything

Love

Love, love, love

- Changes everything

- Love changes everything

Yes, it does

Makes you wanna dance

Makes you wanna sing

Love changes everything

Love changes

everything, everything

[gentle music]

Love is a destination

Not without twists and turns

Sometimes it comes so gently

And sometimes you get burned

It's not without

its hard times

It's always give and take

But I can say completely

You were well worth the wait

And if I hadn't cried

all of those tears

And felt enough pain

To last me for years

And hurt with an

ache so deep inside

That I wondered if

it would ever subside

I he hadn't left it broken

This heart in two

I'd have missed love

'Cause I'd have missed you

Just when I'd given up

On the thought of

finding true love

You made me believe

'Cause nothing like you

Has ever happened to me

And if I hadn't cried

all of those tears

And felt enough pain

To last me years

And hurt with an ache

so deep down inside

That I wondered if

it would ever subside

If you hadn't left it broken

This heart in two

I'd have missed love

Oh, yeah

'Cause I'd have missed you

I would have

missed out on you

Yeah

I would have

missed out on you

I would have

missed you, baby

I would have missed, baby

I would have

I would have missed you

- I would have missed you

- [music fades down]

I would have missed

out on you, baby
