[bunniefuu]

[romantic music playing]

[Madison] Yes.

Um, I think I'm ready to do this.

-Would you like to go in for a kiss?
-Yes.

-[softly] God, it's my first kiss ever.
-[chuckles]

[Madison] God.

Okay.

[Madison] I feel like I'm in love.

[Tyler] Me too.

-[Madison] I'm getting butterflies.
-[chuckles]

-[Madison] I can't even believe this.
-[chuckles]

[Madison] Yeah, I can't even believe this.

I… I can't even believe this.
I've never had a first kiss in my life.

-[Tyler] That's awesome.
-Sweetheart.

Yeah.

[music fades]

[music resumes]

I love that you love country music
as much as I do.

You're a great
Southern Christian gentleman.

-Oh yeah.
-And I love how we both don't drink.

Same here, baby.

I love that we both collect.

-Yes.
-You collect cars. I collect dolls.

-Oh yeah.
-I just can't even believe this.

I've never had a first kiss ever.

-[Tyler] Oh yeah.
-Ever.

Ever.

Ever. [sniffles]

I've never… I've never felt this…

-I've never felt this way before, ever.
-Oh yeah.

Yeah. Like, Valentine's Day will be
a better holiday for me.

[chuckles heartily] Same here!

[hopeful music playing]

[Madison] I've been a fan
of
The Bachelor
since forever.

And… and I feel like
I'm one of the girls in the show.

Like, having my first one-on-one date
and getting my first kiss.

Oh yeah. I… I feel a lot like that, yeah.

So will you watch that show for me?

Absolutely.

-And will you watch
Dance Moms
for me?
-Yeah, absolutely.

Is there any shows I would watch for you?

Would you go to NASCAR races with me?

I would, even though
it's not my cup of tea. I'd do it for you.

-Relationships are give and take.
-I agree.

[Madison] So are we… So…
So would you like to kiss me goodbye?

-[Tyler] Absolutely, baby.
-Yes.

[music fades]

[music resumes]

[kissing continues]

[Tyler] I'm in love
with the most beautiful girl in the world.

[Madison] I'm in love
with my cowboy sweetheart.

-[Tyler] I love you, baby.
-I love ya.

In Clemson,

it's the day after
Tanner's date with Callie.

[Nicci] Tanner!

-Hey. Hey, Mom!
-[Nicci] Hi, bud!

-How are you?
-I'm good. How are you, Mom?

-I'm so glad to see you.
-I'm so glad to see you too, Mom.

-Are you having a great morning?
-I'm having a great morning, Mom.

I was so excited to come see you
and hear about your date!

I'm excited to tell you.

-First, her name is Callie.
-Okay. Callie!

-Yes, Mom. Callie.
-Okay.

-I love it. This is so exciting.
-I love it too.

So, tell me, what did you think of Callie?
Did you guys have a nice time?

-Was she easy to talk to?
-Yes, we had a nice time.

Callie was easy to talk to.

That is amazing. Do you guys have
a lot of things in common?

-We do like a lot of the same things.
-That is so cool.

We like pizza,
hamburgers, chicken tenders.

-She likes all your favorite foods.
-And ice cream.

-And we danced. We got to dance, Mom.
-You and Callie danced?

-Yes, ma'am. We danced good.
-Show me how. No way!

Yeah, isn't that great?
Yeah, we danced like this too, Mom.

Oh my goodness.
It sounds like it went really well.

What was your favorite thing about her?

She's nice, kind, polite,

and… and she's a strong…
and she's a strong, um, lovable girl.

So, Tanner, do you feel like Callie had

a lot of the traits and qualities
that you are looking for in a girlfriend?

Um… what do you mean?

I mean, like, the way her personality is,
the things she likes to do, her hobbies.

Is she the kind of girl
you might want for a girlfriend?

-Yes.
-She is?

Yes, she has a good personality,
and she's very talkative.

I'm proud of you.
You did the whole thing by yourself.

-You handled the whole date.
-I did handle the whole date.

-Good job.
-Thanks, Mom.

Super proud of you.

While we look at each other,
I am gonna keep smiling.

-I'm not gonna stop.
-Doing a great job smiling.

-That's right.
-You really are.

-So… yeah.
-All right.

[bird squawks]

[romantic music playing]

David and I are going on a romantic date.

And a bird just flew over my head.

What kind of bird is that?

Is that a blue heron? Hi, blue heron!

-[David] Hi, Abbey.
-Hi, David.

-[David] You look beautiful.
-Thank you.

A lot of birds here.

-Yeah, I can see that, Abbey.
-Is Big Bird bigger than those birds?

-Yes.
-What does he look more like?

-A heron or an ostrich?
-An ostrich.

[birds calling]

[Abbey] What would you do
if I heard a screaming baby?

Perhaps I shall convince you to, uh…

-Ignore it, and you can block my ears.
-Yes.

You worry about those things
too much, you know?

-Yeah, Piglet is worried about everything.
-Hmm?

-From Winnie-the-Pooh.
-True.

-Piglet has an anxiety disorder.
-True.

-That's what they say.
-Yeah, that's--

-Eeyore has depression.
-Mm-hmm.

-Shall we get on the boat?
-[Abbey] Sure.

-Hello, Captain.
-Hello.

-[Abbey] Hi, Captain. Hello.
-[captain] Hello.

[jaunty music playing]

-[David] Seal!
-[Abbey] Where?

-[David] Behind that boat.
-[Abbey] Are seals mammals?

[David] Yes, they are.

-We're going on a boat ride!
-We're going on a boat ride.

Oh. There's a heron.

-Two herons.
-[Abbey] There's two herons.

[David mimics heron call]

[Abbey] My hair is messy.

I am like Sia right now.

Don't I look like Sia, the singer?

-I got a surprise for you.
-You do?

[Abbey] Mm-hmm.

What is it?

I'm not gonna tell you.
You'll have to find out. Close your eyes.

Okay, you can open them.

-[gasps] For me?
-For all of us!

-It's for both of us.
-[David] It's a shark charcuterie board.

Nice. I love it.

Hershey's, Oreos, Whoppers,
M&M's, Reese's Puffs, and Gummy Bears.

-Thanks. These are all my favorites.
-You're welcome.

-Mm! Chocolate. Yummy.
-Mm-mm!

-So good. Thank you, sweet cakes.
-Mm!

-Hi!
-Hi!

-[Abbey] This is a life-size coyote?
-[David] Looks like it.

[Abbey] I just wanna live here.

If we're gonna live together,
why don't we do it at the San Diego…

near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park?

That could work. Are we gonna live
in a house or an apartment?

House.

That could work.
Do you wanna get a dog or a cat?

[David] Maybe a cat.

-Me too. I'd get a black cat.
-[David] Yeah.

-Know Ernie and Bert from
Sesame Street
?
-Yes.

-Are they a g*y couple or just roommates?
-They're just roommates to me.

I think they could be
a little bit of both to me.

[pensive music playing]

[narrator]
In Los Angeles,

Dani is arriving home
after her talk with Adan.

-Hey, Sandy and Patrick.
-[Patrick] Hey, Dani.

How are you?

[Dani] Just not quite…

What?

Adan isn't even ready for a open r…

for a intimate relationship.

Uh-oh.

What can I do?

I love Adan.

He's very honest,
but then he… he told me the truth is

he's not really ready
for an intimate relationship,

especially because of
his religious differences.

Did he say,
like, what his expectations are?

Like, when he might be ready for that?

It's never.

-Never?
-I'm afraid it's never.

[Sandy] Did he say that?

He didn't say never, but…

He wants to get married first.

He wants to get married first,
and I'm not really, like, open to that.

The problem is,
if we continue on our relationship

without sex before marriage,
how is this ever gonna work out?

I've always wanted
an intimate relationship.

Instead, misery.

An intimate relationship
is important to some people

and not important to other people.
So if it's important to you,

then you have to stay true to yourself.

This is the problem with Adan and I.

-[Patrick] Mm-hmm.
-It's a problem.

-That's… It happens sometimes.
-[Patrick] Mm.

[Sandy sighs]

Sorry, Dani.

At least you know.

It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay.

Whatever you decide,
it's gonna be the right decision.

-Okay? Let me make you a margarita.
-[Dani] Okay.

[jaunty music playing]

You know how hard it is
to hold things together, Sandy?

-Yeah.
-I can imagine, yes. It's difficult.

I tried to get my mind out of the gutter.

-[Sandy laughs]
-[Patrick] Your mind was in the gutter?

[Sandy] You know what that means?
When your mind's in the gutter?

That means, um, in despair or ordeal.

-[Patrick] No.
-[Sandy] No.

[Patrick] It means
you have nasty thoughts.

[Sandy] Cheers.

[Dani] You think I should continue
the relationship with Adan,

or should I just break up with him?

I think you need to sleep on it.

You know,
really think about what you want,

and then talk about it with him.

You guys are a couple.
You need to talk about things like that.

Oh, that should be the answer.

I should ask him,
when do you wanna get married?

-Don't ask him…
-Don't ask him that.

'Cause then he's gonna think
you're asking him to get married.

You're not asking him to.

You just wanna know
when he's thinking about it.

-How long is this gonna be?
-How long this is gonna be for you?

Next time when I talk to Adan,
I'll probably ask him these questions.

-What is your expected timeline?
-[Patrick] Mm-hmm.

I just wanna know.
Before there's… before we close the deal.

"Close the deal"?

I mean, close the, um…

Before we make our decision.
Before we agree.

-[Sandy] Okay.
-Well, I appreciate and take your advice.

Building relationships takes a long time.
It's like growing a plant.

-It is.
-[Dani] You take care of the plant.

Just needs to be watered
and fertilized and fed.

If it wilts,
you have to grow another plant.

[Patrick chuckles]

-Cheers to that.
-Cheers.

-[Dani] Thank you.
-To the gardener.

[Sandy and Dani chuckle]

[intriguing music playing]

[narrator]
In Boston,
it's James's th birthday,

and he's getting ready for a celebration.

-[Lawrence] What time is it, James?
-What? Oh, it's :.

All right, it's almost time
for
my
energy drink.

Oh. No, alcohol's a depressant.
We already went through this.

-Oh, no, no.
-They preserve him.

Don't you know alcohol is a preservative?

Have you seen
those ancient Egyptian mummies?

They're wrinkled and dried up.

You don't wanna look like
one of those old mummies, do you?

-[giggling]
-[Lawrence] Mm…

Earlier, Dad, you said
you got some adult beverages

for me to share with my friends.

I really wish
you'd stop calling them adult beverages.

That makes the implication

that drinking alcohol
is somehow a sign of maturity, you know?

No, it just means you have to be
over or or whatever the age is.

Still, though,
I don't like the terminology.

That doesn't matter.
Your inference is ingenuous, James.

-[James groans]
-[Lawrence] Okay?

Yeah. Still, though, Dad, I… I…
I know plenty of people who are my age

who don't drink alcohol, Dad, you know?

So?

So that means you can still be mature
and not drink alcohol.

[Lawrence] You're not gonna win.

-[Cian] So, James, it's your birthday.
-Anyway… Oh, yes.

-[Cian] Thirty-seven years old.
-Yeah, I know. So I'm almost .

-Ugh!
-[June] Yikes.

-You have a long way to go, James.
-I know, yes.

I always enjoy celebrating my birthday,
but, you know, recently,

my birthdays have been
a reminder of my own mortality.

That I'm one year closer
to the cold embrace of death.

Don't worry about death and dying
right now. Worry about living.

-Of course.
-[chuckling]

[Cian] So what's happening today?

Uh… So yes, I've invited
a few of my friends over. And--

[June] To have a little birthday party
and bonfire out there?

Oh, yes, maybe we'll… we'll light a fire
in our fire pit or something.

And yes, and I'm inviting
a woman named Shelley.

-[June] Oh!
-Yes, so I met her online.

She's great. I really, really like her.

[Cian] Someone called Shelley?
A romantic interest?

Yes, definitely, yes.
I really hope that things will work out.

Third time's the charm.
At least that's my hope.

That's what they say.

[James] She has a soft, quiet voice,
but we have a lot in common.

We have… we like very similar movies,
music, television series.

We seem to have
very similar social and political views.

She and I have much in common.
I'm sure you'll like her.

-Good. Glad to hear it.
-Yes.

You need someone calming for your…

-[James] Yes, I suppose so.
-…very active personality.

She likes horror movies. And she… I…

Actually, I do think she likes
heavy metal music a little bit.

That's not too bad. And she…

I haven't asked if she likes hot sauce.
I'll have to see about that.

[Lawrence] It's very important
to be able to ask

does she have pets or children.

Oh, she certainly does not have children.

And as for pets, actually, the last time
I spoke to her over the phone,

I… oh God, I could hear
a dog barking in the background.

-Oh no! Horrors. It's a deal-breaker!
-And I mean…

No. Maybe it's… maybe…
maybe it's her parents' pet, actually.

Oh God. My friends shall be here soon.
We should probably get the fire started.

-All right, good. Very good.
-[June] Okay.

-[James] Let me see.
-I'll meet you outside.

[James] Very good.
I've gotta fill this water bottle now.

Why didn't I fill
this water bottle earlier?

-[Cian] So, Shelley…
-Yes.

[Cian] She's not someone
we've met before at all.

We didn't meet her at speed dating.

No, I… Yeah, I know.
This is… She's someone totally new.

Yes, yes. So not too bad.

-[Cian] A surprise.
-[chuckles]

Ah, yes. Isn't life full of surprises?

[curious music playing]

-[squirting]
-Saturate everything. Inside too.

Yes, yes, I know.

Okay, I think that's probably enough.

Ah, very nice.

Whoa! [chuckles]

-Ah! Oh, Dad?
-What?

Whose idea was it
to have a fire in the fire pit anyway?

-I think it was mine.
-Okay.

You do know
that it's -something degrees out, right?

-The heat doesn't matter, James.
-Okay, if you say so.

[Lawrence] I… I say so.

[James] Ah.

-[Lawrence] What? Put the, uh…
-I don't want smoke getting into the food.

[Lawrence] Almost there.

[James groans loudly]

Damn. The wind's messing up my hair.

Careful, Dad. It's getting hot out here.

My skin's getting dry
like that of a lizard.

[Lawrence] What time are your friends due?

Oh, they should be walking around
that corner any moment now.

-At least that's my hope.
-Oh good. Good.

All right, this is coming along.

-[Cian] Have you ever kissed a girl?
-Not yet, but I really want to.

Like, I just dream
of kissing a girl on the T.

Oh, I just need that to happen.

We can travel over the Longfellow Bridge
and the Charles River,

ride off into the sunset.

This feeling's so magical.

[intriguing music playing]

[narrator]
In Boston,

Pari is getting ready
for a second date with Tina.

-[train horn honks]
-[Pari chuckles]

-[Cian] What was that?
-It's my text. A train sound.

Glasses.

[music fades]

All right, I have my sweater
in case it gets cold. And my purse.

[Cian] How are you feeling
about seeing Tina again?

I'm really excited.

[Cian] Are you hoping
there might be some romance?

I think there might be, yeah.

I definitely felt it last time, so I think
there very well could be today.

Got a new train keychain.

[honking]

Fun, isn't it?

[music resumes]

-[Esme] Bye, sweet pea.
-Bye, Mom.

-Have a great time, okay?
-I can't wait.

-I love you so much.
-I love you too.

-[Pari] See you later.
-Bye. See you later.

[music fades]

[pleasant music playing]

Oh my gosh,
like, the leaves are purple and pink.

Oh my God, it's like Commuter Rail colors.

This is a beautiful place.
Looks fit for a princess.

-Hello, Pari.
-[gasps] Tina!

Hi! Oh my God,
you're so beautiful and flowery.

I… I love… I… I… I… I love,
um, your… your flower crown.

Thank you. I love your flower dress.

I've been thinking a lot about you
since our last date.

I… I also have been.

-[Pari] Wait, is someone getting married?
-[Tina] Yes!

[Pari] Oh my God, wait!
That happened last time.

What are the chances?
It's like there's signs of romance.

[laughs] Yes. It's in the air.

I know. It feels like
there's definitely romance in the air.

Maybe that will be us someday.

[hesitant music playing]

[Pari sighs]

[narrator]
At Connor's house,

preparations are underway
for a special visitor.

[Cian] What's happening today, Lise?

Um, just getting ready to meet Georgie,

and we're really, really, really excited.

-It's gonna be a fun afternoon.
-I'm excited.

He's been talking about her,
like, so much.

So much, every day.

And normally
he's just talking about dragons,

and now it's about Georgie,
so that is exciting.

-What's up, sis?
-[Coco grumbles]

[Anna] Coco's ready.

[Lise] Are you excited about today too?

-Hey.
-[Lise] Hello, stud muffin.

I love the whole outfit.

[Connor] Thank you.

Now, Mom, you know the rules.

No acting crazy, no crazy nicknames,

no… none of those awful rally cries,

because a demigoddess named Georgie
has stepped down from Mount Olympus

to dine at our leaky shack.

[Anna] So she's a demigoddess?

[Connor] She does seem like one,
in my opinion.

All right, I will bring it all down.
I prom--

You will see such a watered-down version,
you're gonna be like, "Who is this woman?"

-You're not even gonna recognize me today.
-Yeah, okay. Good.

And then should we have
a code face or name

that you could do if I am getting
to where it's annoying you?

-[Connor] See this face?
-[Lise] What face?

This face I'm doing right now.
This is my serious face.

This is my "stop what you're doing
right now and behave" face.

Okay, so let's pretend
Anna and I are talking.

-Blah, blah, blah.
-[Anna] Blah, blah, blah.

That. Okay, so if I see that face,
that's my cue to rein it in.

-Yes.
-[Lise] Okay, you can trust me.

Anything for the dogs?
Did they get spoken to?

[Connor] Listen to me. You both better be
on your best behavior when Georgie comes

because I really like her, and I hope
to establish a relationship with her,

and I do not wanna mess that up.

And that goes double for you, Axel.

[dog toy squeaks]

I think Chewie is the one
who needs to hear it the most.

[Connor] Chewie?

Chewie.

No humping, no pushing,
no sniffing heinies.

This is not a Harvard frat house.

You bringing a girl home to meet
your family, that's an important day.

Yep.

I'm just excited to meet the person
you're talking about so much.

-Yeah.
-In person and see how she is.

Yes, I am hoping
she likes you guys as well.

-I mean, I think we're pretty likable.
-Yeah, you guys are pretty likable.

[soft music playing]

[Anna] Connor, is this ok…

[Connor] Yeah, that's good.

[Lise] All right, so we got crackers.
What else we got?

That there.

-[Connor] There we go.
-[Lise] Okay.

[Connor] Lovely.

Okay, Connor.
We'll follow your lead, okay?

When she gets here.

-[Connor] Okay.
-[Lise] How do we look?

-Good. You guys look great, thanks.
-All right, good.

[Anna] Thank you.

[yawning loudly]

Wake up, sugar lips.

-Hey. Don't call me that. Ever.
-All right, no nicknames.

-I'm already screwing up and she's…
-And don't ever call me that.

All right, sorry.

Crossed the line.

[Cian] You feeling nervous, Connor?

[Connor] A little.

Okay, where's Coco?

She hears what's going on
and knows she needs to be on the lookout.

-[Anna] You got this, buddy?
-Yeah.

[Coco panting]

[uplifting music playing]

[Madison] Hello?

[narrator]
In Florida, it's the day after
Madison's second date with Tyler.

[man] Madison!

[narrator]
Her brother and parents
are visiting her market stall.

-[dad] How are we doing?
-Sweetie, hi!

-Hi!
-How are you?

You couldn't believe how last night went.

-Hi, sweetie.
-[mom] We can't wait to hear everything.

[dad] We can't wait to hear.

-I made $ in sales today already.
-[brother] Holy cow.

-Okay. Your table looks amazing.
-That'll pay a few bills.

-But I wanna get to the good stuff.
-Spill the beans.

Yes, so when Tyler and I saw each other,

we said we hadn't stopped
thinking about each other.

He hadn't me, I hadn't him.

And you wouldn't even believe
what he gave me as a gift.

-What?
-An American Girl doll for my collection.

-[brother laughs]
-Oh my God.

He gave me Nikki,

the Country Western Girl of the Year
from .

Are you kidding?

I'm not.
And it was in Christmas wrapping paper.

-Well, he knows how to get to your heart.
-That is so awesome!

So we… we… we took a walk on the beach,
collected shells, built sand art,

and we sat in the sand.

And then…
so I asked Tyler to be my boyfriend.

-You asked him to be your boyfriend?
-Yes.

-You said that first?
-Wow. Really?

-So you guys are officially a "couple"?
-Yes.

-Oh my goodness.
-Oh my God. That's amazing!

And then I went in for my first kiss.

I made the move.

-
You
made the move?
-Yes.

Madison, you're a player.

[all laugh]

Do I know you?

-[mom] Oh my God.
-[dad] Wow.

And it was a very long smooch.

-[brother] There we go.
-Wow.

-[brother] That's awesome.
-Oh my gosh!

-Your first official kiss, Madison.
-I'm serious.

[dad] Things I didn't know
I was gonna hear, ever.

I'm speechless.
Mom doesn't get speechless.

-Speechless.
-[brother] How do you feel about that?

I felt like
Princess Ariel coming to dry land

because I was right by the rocks.

-[all chuckle]
-Oh my God.

And I felt like
I found my cowboy sweetheart too.

-Your cowboy sweetheart.
-Wow.

Quite a few milestones were met yesterday.

-In, like, a -hour period.
-Yes.

I'm… I'm… I'm blown away. That's amazing.

[laughing happily] Madison.

-Wow. [clears throat] Unbelievable.
-That is absolutely incredible.

[dad] So happy for her.

She's worked really hard
and overcome a lot.

And she's always wanted to feel like
she could belong.

And so this kind of a connection
is very important to her.

And for her to find somebody
that she's this interested in

is blowing my mind. It really is.

Uh, and just couldn't be happier for her.

Parks, did you think
this was gonna happen anytime soon?

No. You've come a long way, Madison,
and it's pretty amazing.

Thank you. Remember when
Parks was having all these girls over,

was having girlfriends,
and I remember how it…

I remember it felt
a little isolating for me at times.

-Hey, I'm the single one now, sweetie.
-Now it's my turn!

-It's your turn to learn.
-Yeah. The tables are turned.

[Madison] I did not think
I'd find a boyfriend this soon.

This is like a light switch went off
in your head, and you just decided

that you were gonna be
open to dating somebody.

And look what's happened. It's amazing.

It was like when I tried
lobster ravioli for the first time.

-[chuckles]
-It's the evolution of Madison.

Don't miss it. Constantly evolving.

[Parks] Bring it in.

-All right, awesome.
-[dad] Bring it in. Oh my goodness.

-[mom then Madison] Love you.
-[dad] So happy for you.

[music fades]

[Abbey singing warm-up scales]

[narrator]
At Abbey's house,

she's getting ready to celebrate
a milestone in her relationship.

[Abbey singing warm-up scales]

-[light music playing]
-So we're gonna do it. Ready?

Half up, half down on one side.
I don't wanna look odd.

You're not gonna look odd.

Abbey and David are celebrating
their third year anniversary,

and they've both been excited about this.

So, um, Abbey has been working on
a song for David.

It's a dedication song.

Um… It's great.
I cry every time I hear it. [chuckling]

What are you gonna tell David
when you see him?

"I have a surprise for you."

But I'm not gonna tell him what it is.

-Is twenties too young to get married?
-No, not for some people.

Is it for me?

As long as you guys' hearts are aligned,
that's all that matters.

-Is David gonna ask me to marry him?
-Maybe someday.

What if he asks me tonight?

What would you do if he did?

-Yes.
-[Christine chuckles]

And then call

because I will be
falling to pieces. [chuckles]

-Tears of joy.
-What wedding dress should I wear?

Wow! Well, you're jumping into it,
aren't you?

[Abbey] Yeah.

You guys will do that when you're ready.

Let me just finish this,
and then we'll finish the gift.

And David might be having
a gift for you too.

-I hope it's not any more stuffed animals.
-[Christine laughs]

Are you realizing you have too many?

'Cause I'm a hoarder.
'Cause her mother was a hoarder.

The truth has been revealed.
Thank you, Abbey.

You're welcome.

[emotionally] The biggest part is thinking
where she started and where she is now.

-What do you think?
-Amazing.

[Christine] And I think about
who she was when she was ten.

She couldn't do what other kids did.
She couldn't talk like them.

She couldn't jump into a social situation.

She couldn't bond with people,
'cause she was so isolated.

But she always knew and wanted it.
I always saw that part of her.

Oh, that's a good one. Can you believe
you've had a boyfriend for three years?

Yes! When I was a kid
and I was too young to have a boyfriend,

that just made me feel isolated and alone.

Remember that time on the school bus
you saw a couple together?

You came home crying.

I wished that could happen to me.
Also, I hissed at another couple.

-[Christine chuckles] You did?
-I snarled at them.

Back then, if I were old enough,

what if I was… started dating a girl
to be a g*y couple like Ernie and Bert?

[Christine chuckles]

All right, let's put this ribbon on this.

And here, do you wanna tie it,
and I'll just hold it?

-Okay, pull your finger out.
-[Abbey] Mm! Yes!

[Christine] Get the gifts. I get this.

Here we go!

We're going. We're going.

-All right.
-[Abbey] This is so exciting.

-[Christine] Off we go, girl!
-[Abbey] Yes!

[lilting romantic music playing]

[narrator]
In South Carolina,

Tanner is arriving
for a second date with Callie.

[music sweeping]

[music fades]

-[Tanner] Hi, Callie.
-Hi! How are you?

-I'm good. How are you, Callie?
-I'm good.

-Hey, it's good to see you, Callie.
-Good to see you too.

-[Tanner] How have you been?
-Good. How've you been?

-I've been good, Callie.
-Good!

-I'm excited about this dinner date.
-Me too.

Callie, have you been on
any vacations this summer?

I have not. Have you?

Yes. Me and Taylor
and Midge went to Thailand,

and we rescued elephants.

Oh, that is so cool!

Oh, can I show you the pictures of us
when we were in Thailand?

[light, joyful music playing]

-There's me and Midge.
-Wow!

-There's a video of us in the boat.
-[Callie laughs] Aw!

That's so cool.

-There's me feeding one of the elephants.
-[Callie] She's so cute!

[Tanner] She is so cute,
and she loves me, and I love her.

[Callie chuckling] Aw!

[giggles]

[Tanner] Here's when we got massages.

[Callie] Look at you laughing
and having a wonderful time.

[Tanner] Yeah, look at me laughing
and having a wonderful time.

-Those are so cool!
-They are… they are so cool.

-And we had a good time too.
-That's so cool!

Uh-huh. Hey, Callie.
Do you like to go to the beach?

-I love to go to the beach.
-Me too.

-Like swimming in the ocean?
-Yes!

-I swim in the ocean too.
-I don't go out too far.

Not with all the jellyfish and sharks.

-You don't like sharks?
-Do you like sharks?

-I do.
-I like sharks too.

Oh, do you like books?

-Mm-hmm.
-What do you like?

I have a book about bigfoot
that I'm reading right now.

-[Tanner] Is it scary?
-Yes.

I'll tell you what books I like to read.

I like to read
Tarzan,
I like
Aladdin,
I like
Peter Pan,
I like
The Lion King,

I like
David and Goliath,
I like
Noah's Ark,
I like
Stuart Little,

I like
Charlotte's Web,
I like
The Trumpet of the Swan.

Oh my gosh, look at all those books.
That's amazing.

Yeah, isn't it amazing?

-Yes. I love it.
-[Tanner] Uh-huh.

I'm so glad. I'm so glad.

I'm really enjoying this.
You're such a good guy, Tanner.

And you're… Yes, I am such a good guy.

-Thank you, Callie.
-You're welcome.

[romantic music playing]

-[Tanner] Right here! Thank you, sir.
-[server] No problem.

I'm so excited for this.
Hey, yours looks good, Callie.

Oh, I lo… I'm excited for the fries.

[music fades]

-So…
-Yes?

Do you wanna be an uncle someday?

-I do. I do.
-[Callie] Mm.

-'Cause I know I'll be a good uncle.
-Yeah.

-It's the best food I've ever had.
-[Tanner] Me too, Callie. Me too.

-Good. It's good, right?
-It's out of this world.

[music resumes]

-[Tanner] Oh, Callie.
-Yeah?

Any fun things you're hoping
you'll be able to do in the future?

I wanna get married someday.

-Do you want the boy to be very handsome?
-Yes.

And I bet you want to get married
to a boy who's a Christian.

I do.

What fun things
do you wanna do with your husband?

Oh my gosh, own a farm
and wake up early in the mornings

and take care of all the animals
and watch the sunrise,

and I like to do all that kind of stuff.

Yeah, that's good. That's good.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Do you like crabs?

Yes. I love crabs because they're sassy,

and they're spunky, and they're funky,
and they have their own personality.

I like how they go like this.

-That's a good reason.
-Yeah. Do you like crabs?

They… I… Crabs are okay.

Okay.

Oh, do you like to go hiking?

I… I don't.

Um…

But it's okay. But it's okay.

You like to go horseback riding?

No. I don't like to ride horses. No.

Okay. I do.

So that's okay if you do, but I don't.

-Yeah. That's good, 'cause…
-[Tanner] Yeah.

That's good.

Right. It is good.

Yeah.

'Cause everybody likes to do
different things.

-Yes.
-[Tanner] Yeah.

[music fades]

[lively instrumental music playing]

[music builds]

[James] Ah.

[humming softly]

[sighs]

[James groans]

Ugh!

[muttering softly]

-Hey, James. Happy birthday!
-[James] Oh, yes, hello.

-Happy birthday.
-We come bearing gifts.

[James] Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Johnny.
How are you doing?

-Doing fabulous, my man.
-That's a nice shirt.

-I like your shirt as well.
-Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

-Oh, please sit down. Yes.
-Oh yeah. Good.

-Everyone's looking so snazzy.
-Yes, they do.

Yes. Oh, so wait, Johnny, please sit here,
because I'm saving this seat for Shelley.

-[Johnny] Oh.
-[Emma] Oh, wow. There's a lot of smoke.

-I hope you're not bothered by the fire.
-[Emma coughs]

-[Maggie] Not at all.
-[Emma] It's not too bad.

[Johnny] What a lovely fire.

I'd like to ask, James,
how are things going with, uh
, Shelley
?

-[Johnny chuckles]
-Oh, very well, actually, yeah.

So I really like Shelley.
I think she's great.

I definitely think I may…
we may have a winner this time.

-Third time's the charm, they always say.
-Oh! Nice.

[James] So, yeah, Shelley and I
have much in common.

We have very similar tastes
and preferences in movies, music, books.

So I definitely think she's a good match,
but, I mean, I don't wanna rush.

I'm trying to take things at a very…
at a very reasonable pace.

You see, in the past,
I've met women before

who I thought may have been matches
and sadly weren't.

So, yes, this time, you know, I have
much more knowledge, more experience.

So this time around,
I know what to do differently.

I know what to do and what not to do.

-You're the man, James.
-[laughs] Thank you, Johnny.

Keep up the good work,
and you'll reel her in like a pro.

Oh, okay, I wouldn't quite use
that terminology, but yes.

[Johnny] Just a little fishing metaphor
regarding love.

[James] True. I get the sentiment.

Yes, I totally… I understand the sent…
the thought behind it. Yes, thank you.

I'm giving you
all the luck I can give you.

[James] Thank you. Absolutely.
Greatly appreciate it.

That's not too bad,
but I really want it to work this time.

This time… I, you know, I think
she just might possibly be the one. So…

-[Shelley] Hello! [coughs]
-[James] Oh! Oh… oh!

-Oh, hi!
-Hi!

-Hi, Shelley!
-Hello, how are you doing?

-Good, thank you. How are you?
-I'm doing fine. So good to see you again.

Yeah, so, anyway, I really like that dress
and that heart-shaped necklace.

They're nice. Yes, anyway,
so please sit down right here.

This is Johnny. This is Shelley.

-Hi.
-You've already…

Nice to meet you. Welcome.

You've already met Emma and Maggie.

-Good to see you again.
-Yeah.

So, uh, yes, how have things
been going for you recently?

-Things have been going well, thank you.
-Great. Glad to hear it. Yes.

Oh, is the smoke bothering you?
I'm so sorry.

-[Shelley] No. It's okay.
-Anyway, yeah, I… It's unpredictable.

There's a reason why fire and smoke

are always associated with
randomness and capriciousness.

So let me see, now.
Let me see what else is there.

Oh, I'm talking too much. I'm sorry.

I've got to give you
opportunities to talk.

So has… Let me see. Let me see.

Um… ah.

What… We have some chips.
Would you like some drinks?

-[Johnny] I'd be very much obliged.
-[Shelley] I want a drink, yes.

-'Cause it is so hot out.
-Okay, good.

-[James] Shelley, what would you like?
-Water. Thank you.

Should we have a toast or something,
I wonder? To the wonderful weather.

-Let us toast to your birthday today.
-Oh, yes, thank you.

-[all] Cheers!
-Yes, thank you. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. Thank you very much.

-How old are you now?
-Oh, . I know…

I hope I still look pretty good
for my age.

Well, I'd say
you still look fabulous, my man.

[James] Oh, very good. Thank you.

-What inspired the fire?
-Oh, it was my father's idea.

He thought it would add great ambiance
to the situation.

It would help add to the atmosphere.

Oh.

It's… definitely creating an atmosphere.

-[laughter]
-[James] Oh yes, yes. That's true.

[Shelley] Yeah.

[light, suspenseful music playing]

[panting]

[exhales nervously] All right.

Here we go.

-You got it.
-She's here.

-[Connor] Hey, Georgie! Hey.
-[Georgie] Hey! How are you?

Oh, hug?

-[Connor] Yeah, come on. Come on.
-Hello. I brought gifts for your family.

They're pears from my mom's garden.

-Oh, these are wonderful. Thank you.
-[Georgie] Oh.

-And who is this charmer?
-[Connor] This is Chewie.

[Georgie] Hi, Chewie.
Can I close the door, bubba?

[Connor] Oh, sure.

-Oh… you were talking to him. [chuckles]
-[Georgie giggles]

Oh yes.

-That means he likes you.
-[giggles]

Shall we?

Okay. Uh, where should we go?

Right… right in here? Now, um…

-[Lise] Hi!
-[Connor] Hello.

-[Lise] Welcome!
-Hi, guys. Thank you.

Georgie, this is my sister, Anna,
and my mom, Lise.

-Hello, Sister Anna. Hi, Mom Lise.
-Nice to meet you. Hello, Georgie.

-Welcome!
-Thank you.

I brought some pears for you guys
from my mom's garden.

[Connor] How thoughtful was that?

-Thank you.
-This is so thoughtful, and we love pears.

-Excellent. Thanks. Come on in.
-Thank you so much.

[Connor] Right this way.

-Wanna go grab Coco for me?
-[Connor] Sure. Coco?

All right, Coco. This is it.
Georgie's here now.

Remember, best behavior, okay?

-Co… Georgie, meet Coco. Coco, Georgie.
-Hello, sweetie.

Hi! May I?

-Of course.
-Hi, cutie.

Careful, just support her back.
There you go.

Hi. Oh, my goodness.
Cookie's gonna be jealous.

-[Connor] Aw.
-[Georgie] Hi.

[Connor] Well, look at that.
She likes you.

Oh my goodness. Hi, sweetie.

Is she kissing you too much?
Sometimes she has a bit…

Oh, no, I don't mind it.
I love dogs. I don't mind it.

-That's a huge… We have three, so…
-That big boy out there is Axel.

-You are so sweet.
-[Lise] Oh my goodness.

I'm gonna have to take her.

-I'm sorry. She's gonna be mine.
-Oh, no. I'm afraid I can't allow that.

-[Lise and Anna laugh]
-Quick, Coco. Let's go.

[Connor giggles]

Oh my gosh. That's so funny.

Ready?

-[Lise] Coco!
-[Georgie] Oh my goodness.

You are so silly.

So, Georgie, how would you like it
if I showed you around?

I would love to.

[rousing Medieval music playing]

[Connor] Welcome to Casa del Connor.

[Georgie chuckles]

This is my sword collection.

It's pretty impressive, all right.

Wow. I like this one.

-That one's pretty.
-Oh!

Yeah, this one's a dragon sword.

It's not really a functional weapon.

-It's more like a ceremonial piece.
-I love it.

[Connor] This is my knight's helmet.

Ta-da!

When jousting,

the visor was lowered like this.

Wa-bam!

-[Connor] Oh. Yeah.
-[chuckles]

[Connor] It's, um,
perfect for absorbing impact.

It looks pretty hot in there.

[romantic Medieval music playing]

[Connor chuckles]

And here.

[softly] I love her.

She's fab.

[mouthing] I love her.

-They're so cute.
-[Connor and Georgie chat indistinctly]

[music fades]

[intriguing music playing]

There is someone getting married here.
Maybe that will be us someday.

Maybe.

But I think if we did end up
doing that someday,

I think it would have to be train-themed.

[Pari] Oh, yes, for sure.
You had me at "train."

-[Tine chuckles] Yes.
-Um…

Tina, I got you some gifts for you.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Oh, this is so cute. These are so kawaii.

[Pari] I just knew
I had to get it for you.

I love Hello Kitty too. Have you ever
been on the Hello Kitty train in Japan?

[Pari] Not yet. I really want to though.

-Thank you so much.
-You're so welcome.

I'm so happy you like them.

-Do you wanna start walking?
-Sure.

-[Pari] Is it all right if we hold hands?
-Yep.

[Pari] Wonderful.

[soft, romantic music playing]

[Pari] Whoa!

Ah, this is so pretty.

Ooh, this little house.
And there… Ooh, there's a wind chime.

[tinkling]

[Tina] It's so cool here.

[Pari] It is. You can feel like
there's fairies flying around.

[Tina] Yes.

[Pari] Oh my gosh. Princess!

Oh my gosh. You look so beautiful.

Congrats.

-[Tina] Congrats.
-[groom] Thank you.

[Pari] You're welcome. I want
a pretty wedding dress like you someday.

I wanna get married.

-You look beautiful.
-Gorgeous.

-Thank you.
-Of course. Have a wonderful day.

She looks just like a princess,
doesn't she?

[Tina] Yes.

-[Pari] I think you look like one.
-[Tina] I think you do too.

[Pari] Aw, thank you.
Aw, they're kissing. That's so cute.

[Tina] You know what would be
really unconventional?

Instead of having white dresses,

we could do our favorite colors
at the beach or something,

although probably not Nantucket,
'cause that's way too expensive.

Oh, we'll have to see by then
if I'm, like, rich like Taylor Swift.

-Would you like to keep walking?
-Sure.

-There's so many paths to choose.
-[Pari] I know, right?

-[Tina] It feels like a maze.
-[Pari] Ooh.

[Tina] Maybe love is actually just a game.

[Pari chuckles] I like to think it's real.
You have to play it right.

[Tina] Yeah, I know.

Your laugh's really cute, Tina.

-[Tina] Thank you.
-You're welcome.

Giant chair!

You wanna sit in it?

-Do you want to?
-Sure.

[Pari sighs happily]

[Tina giggles]

-The chair's bigger than both of us.
-I know, right?

-[Tina] This is so cute.
-It is. I love this.

[music fades]

So…

it's… it's beautiful out right now.

[Pari] It's just perfect.

[romantic music playing]

[Pari] This is so cool.

Oh! Oh, look! The bride and groom.

Oh, it's so pretty.

-[groom] Hello, hello.
-So pretty. Hello.

-[groom] You can have some flowers.
-We're leaving, and we don't need this.

-So we would love to give it to you.
-[Tina] Thank you.

Aw, thank you! You guys are so sweet.
You two have a magical day.

-You too!
-[Pari] Thank you.

-[Tina] Thank you.
-Oh my God, that's so sweet!

The bride was so sweet to do that.

-I know. She's like a true princess.
-Yes.

-She looks like one and acts like one.
-Yeah.

Kindness.

Beautiful inside and out, like you.
That's the best.

That's what I'm looking for.

That's what I'm also looking for.

[music intensifies]

I tell you, you definitely meet that.

Or exceed it.

It's just so beautiful,
the flower bouquet.

Like you.

-And you too.
-Thank you.

[Tina laughs]

-Aw.
-[Tina] Yeah.

Um, I was wondering…

Tina, um, I was wondering,

I don't know if you'd like a kiss?
