[soft romantic music playing]
[The Artist] Have you ever heard
the story
of Alida and Taroo?
It's an old Puerto Rican myth
about star-crossed lovers
from two warring Tano tribes.
They tried to hide their romance.
But their love shined too bright.
Alida's father found out and, furious,
ordered her to marry another.
Heartbroken,
Alida turned to the gods
to save her from this fate.
So they turned her into a red flower.
Taroo found out
and sank into a deep despair.
He begged the gods to help him find her.
So they turned him into a hummingbird.
Now it is said,
whenever you see a hummingbird,
flitting from flower to flower,
it is Taroo,
searching for his true love.
My mother must've told me that story
a thousand times.
So when I was a little girl,
whenever someone asked me
what I wanted to be when I grew up,
my answer was always
in love.
I wanna be in love.
But I learned the hard way
not all love stories have a happy ending.
[Rex Stone] Friends, we've become
a disconnected, survivalist,
spiritually, mentally broken animal.
A Furby suit of humanity.
All we do is slap sexy graphics
and theme songs
on videos
of people being assholes to one another.
We have no love for each other.
We have no love for ourselves.
[woman on PA] Attention,
this is not a drill.
Report to the lower chamber.
Repeat. Report to the lower chamber.
[Jennifer Lopez: "Hearts and Flowers"]
It's gonna break!
[woman on PA] Petal level critical.
Heart rupture imminent.
Proceed to atrium.
Wounded soulja
Lotus grows up
Diamonds from pressure
Time is precious
Blessings can blossom
From a broken child
Cold in the desert
But the sun will rise
You don't see the tears
I'm still all smiles
Put it on my back
'Cause I'm built for the miles
Can u make it thru the rain
Through the trauma and the pain
For the love and not the fame
The most priceless glass is stained
Hearts and flowers
[woman on PA] Petal supply fully depleted.
Do not evacuate.
[worker] There's nothing left.
They're all dead.
It ain't hearts and flowers
It ain't all hearts and flowers
So many nights and hours
Everyday of my life
In the grind faithfully
Superpowers
We all got superpowers
Before you see my life
And say I live the dream
Remember everything ain't
Always what it seems
But I'm still
[woman on PA] Systems malfunctioning.
Report to upper deck.
I'm still
I'm still
Beautiful lies a masquerade, mask up
Count me out
I'll find a way to the top top
See my life
And don't know what it takes no
Ask me what I'd change
Not a g*dd*mn thang
'Cause I made it through the rain
Through the trauma and the pain
For the love and not the fame
The most priceless glass is stained
It ain't hearts and flowers
It ain't all hearts and flowers
So many nights and hours
Everyday of my life
In the grind faithfully
Superpowers
We all got superpowers
Before you see my life
And say I live the dream
Remember everything ain't
Always what it seems
[woman on PA] Heart factory shutdown.
Systems malfunctioning.
I'm still
[woman on PA] Systems malfunctioning.
Danger.
When you're wishin' on a star
It seems easy from where they are
They'll be watching from afar
Just remember yeah who you are
[woman on PA] Heart access granted.
Now she got even more than she had
Now she got hella haters
And they hella mad
They see it's the same ol' Jenny
Wanna block me
Paparazzi trying to make a move
Like they got me
Ask me how I did it now we at the top
Perfect timin'
Don't be fooled by the rocks I got
We be shinin'
Took it to another level
We be thrivin' I can set the tempo
For real though but y'all know
I'm still
Through the mud
Or through the rain
I'm still
[woman on PA] Core power supply
shutting down.
Through the mud or through the rain
I'm still
It ain't hearts and flowers
[woman on PA] Sealing interior chamber.
So many nights and hours
Everyday of my life
In the grind faithfully
Superpowers
We all got superpowers
Before you see my life
And say I live the dream
Remember everything ain't
Always what it seems
[woman on PA] Petal supply level zero.
Heart damage critical.
I may have cried, may have doubted
But they'll never know
They'll never know
[gasps]
[music slows down]
[The Artist sighs]
Love is dying.
[man] You know how much I love you.
[Joe] So that's when
the dream started, you think?
With that heartbreak?
Yeah.
Think so.
I-I had never felt anything
like that before.
Honestly, I thought I was gonna die.
These dreams, though.
Hearts, flowers, hummingbirds.
Zodiac fantasies.
You're such a Taurus.
What sign is your wife?
We're not here to talk about me.
Come on.
- Leo.
- [laughs]
You guys fight a lot, right?
Let's get back to you.
What about the new guy?
Well.
My friend Mike hates him.
The cynic?
People don't fall in love like that.
- Her heart just got crushed.
- "thank you, next".
And what if this guy's "the one"?
Not gonna lie,
this new guy is pretty fine.
Caught up with the bullshit
and the fairy tales.
Maybe your friends
are just trying to protect you.
What do you think?
Is it too soon?
[music plays on TV]
[Rex Stone on TV] In 2012,
the number one question people asked
was what is love?
As of today, the top ten questions are
what should I watch?
Where my refund?
How you like me now?
Why women k*ll?
Will I get laid?
Is Europe a country?
How I screenshot a Mac?
Am I preg-erant?
And why my poop green?
What you're looking for is not out there.
The signs say we're a match.
That's you.
Libra.
And?
And
Your meticulousness keeps me focused.
I'm meticulous?
Yeah. You know, you
you can be particular.
Why do you listen to that crap?
Baby, what?
It's a compliment.
It just means
that you like everything perfect.
- [sighs]
- Perfect?
- Why do you... Ouch!
- Hey! Is this perfect?
- Is this perfect, huh?
- It's too... Stop!
Stop what? [grunts]
Huh?
Damn. Why do you always make me do this?
We don't have to lie
- Yeah, sorry.
- We know this is wrong
Someone on my mind
Got someone on my phone
If we gonna play house
Then I can play my role
Before it gets too deep
Don't wanna lead you on
Ran into your arms
While running from the pain
Ran past all the signs
Looking for something safe
Let you take advantage
So I could fill that space
Just another classic case
Got me on the rebound
Rebound, rebound
Catch me on the rebound
Rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out
Out here playing a game
that can't neither one of us win
We're just sh**t' sh*ts
That ain't even touchin' the rim
I can't force the love
When I'm only thinking of him
You know what I want
You know where I been
I only
Ran into your arms
While running from the pain
Ran past all the signs
Looking for something safe
Let you take advantage
So I could fill that space
Just another classic case
Got me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out
Got me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out
I was really tryna swing
But this thing don't feel the same
I've been thinking bout my baby
Past 360 days
Solo hit different
Now I'm wood grain whippin'
Outside, big tippin'
Outside, big tippin'
Put this song on repeat
Make em take another listen
If you with somebody else
To get over you who missing
If the love ain't real
I can't really stick around
Let me in!
Hey. Open the door.
We're in the stars, right there.
Let me in! Open the door.
Hey, Star. Star!
Let me in.
Talk to me.
I love you!
Got me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out
Rebound, rebound, rebound
Catch me on that rebound
Rebound, rebound
We go up and down
We get lost and found
We go round and round
We fall in and out
Now don't sit over there
Lookin' like a victim
You know what it was
You grown, you made your choice
It is what it is
Ay-yi-yi. [gasps]
f*ck Libras. [echoing] Libras.
I don't get it.
Libra and Leo are supposed to work.
It's a thing.
No, nobody likes a drunk boy.
What's with her and all the bad boys?
Could be daddy issues.
I think I can see my father's house
from here.
[skeptical] Mm.
She's smart. She's, she's beautiful.
And she seems so strong.
Why does she always
need to be with somebody?
- She's still searching.
- Mm-hmm.
She needs some stability
after all that emotional whiplash.
Oh, it's a damn shame.
Yeah, makes me super sad.
I just wanna giver her a big hug.
[skeptical] Mm-hmm.
We're sending her all the signs.
She just can't see what they mean.
It's no surprise.
Humans are self-sufficient.
Their technology has rendered us obsolete.
Speak for yourself.
Let's not give ourselves too much credit.
We are the Zodiacal Council.
But the stars hold all the power.
The stars can speak their minds,
but what is in the deepest recesses
of you heart
Is ultimately what will manifest itself.
Sometimes I chew my hair.
Same!
You know what?
You would look hot in bangs.
Leo, always sh**ting your sh*t.
[Sagittarius] If it could
just get quiet for a while.
Be still.
Let her get out there and explore.
- Hmm.
- Yeah.
She'll learn.
What is she doing?
[scoffs] She is a glutton for punishment.
Oh, no. No. No, no, no. It's too soon!
[romantic music playing]
[man] Will you marry me?
Till death do us part.
Till death do us part.
I told you she couldn't be alone.
You may now kiss the bride.
[Jennifer Lopez: "Can't Get Enough"]
She's doing it.
I just wanna
I just feel like
- I bet you she thinks the rain's a sign.
- Oh, my God, stop.
I just ooh hey
I feel like startin' something
You got my engine runnin'
You got the keys to turn me on and on
You got me acceleratin'
I want to celebrate it
- Can't nothing take me out my zone
- Hey!
It's on
When it feels right
Nothing else matters
Is this real life too good to be true
[DJ] Let's give it up for the newlyweds!
It's that first dance, y'all.
Double or nothing?
- [DJ] Make some noise!
- I'm still in love with you
You know I can't get enough
I love that sh*t
You know I can't get enough
You love that sh*t
You know I can't get enough
Give me all that sh*t
Can't get enough
[DJ] How about some love?
Stop it.
You know I can't get enough
Give me all that sh*t
- Can't get enough of you
- This guy don't stand a chance.
I'm still in love
With you boy
I just wanna
I just feel like
Every time I see ya
It's like oh hey
- Third time's the charm?
- Wanna bet?
So good I can't believe it
Don't wanna share with no one else
- You're always the one I needed
- Stop stealing.
Don't gotta keep a secret
But I let you keep me to yourself
Okay, thank you.
[The Realist clears throat] Love is just
I mean, love is just...
You guys know what love is, right?
You can't sit around waiting for love.
- You feel me?
- All right.
You're my girl!
I don't care who you love. All right?
Friendship is love.
- Speak up!
- Stop.
[The Lover] Everyone here said
you have a problem,
but I do not think you do.
He's very hot
and he has a good credit score.
Awkward. [huffs] Didn't prepare anything.
Um, didn't really expect this to happen.
[laughs awkwardly] Okay.
- Anyways, cheers.
- Cheers.
- You're beautiful!
- Cheers.
- Cheers. Ah.
- For life.
- Okay.
- Okay. Cheers!
- 'Cause bae it feels like
- Here we go!
- Who's next?
- Nothing else matters
Is this real life
Don't catch it, it's cursed.
Take me all night
I can feel the passion in your eyes
I don't like this guy.
I liked the last guy better.
Bring him back.
You know I can't get enough
I love that sh*t
You know I can't get enough
You love that sh*t
You know I can't get enough
Give me all that sh*t
Can't get enough
You know I can't get enough
I love that sh*t
You know I can't get enough
You love that sh*t
- You know I can't get enough
- Give me all that sh*t.
Can't get enough of you
I'm still in love
With you boy
I'm still in love
With you boy
It's the way you love me
The way you touch me
It's the way look at me
Can't get enough
Of you boy
[music ends]
[husbands' voices overlapping]
She doesn't listen.
You know, she thinks I'm her employee.
All she cares about is work, okay?
When she's not working,
she's trying to find more work.
Add in the defensiveness
and constant criticism.
I apologized a million times
It's never enough for you.
Can't you just be happy?
[Husband III] I just, I feel like I'm
another thing in her house.
Piece of art in your collection.
- It's bullshit.
- Okay, this is who I am.
And you treat me like sh*t.
This isn't healthy.
[soft music playing]
I just wanna be happy.
And being with him
With you
feels like home.
But I left home for a reason.
- I don't think this is going to work.
- Don't.
Thank you. This was helpful.
Come on. You'll be back.
No, I won't.
I love you.
No, you don't.
Can't get enough
Of you boy
[music ends]
[Virgo] Damn. Goodbye, Pisces.
- And Virgo.
- And Cancer.
She's running out of signs.
I had a
an Aquarius, a Sagittarius
Stunning.
You like Leos?
How do you feel about younger men?
Boundaries, bro.
I hate that I can't stop watching.
It's like a Vanderpump Rules marathon
and it's four in the morning,
and I stop judging them
and I start judging myself.
Love that show.
The reunion?
Oh! Messy.
That was not cute.
She just can't see what's most important.
She runs right through them
like she's a man-eater,
but that's not what's happening.
That's not who she is.
Is that what they're calling her?
Oh, worse than that.
That's so shady.
They got nothing better to do.
She is bound to go in circles
unless she rises
Above her physical self.
Yeah! She gotta rise up.
I'ma need a "get right".
Know what I'm saying?
- The journey is within.
- She gotta look in the mirror.
[Cancer] But why can't we help her
just a little bit?
- Yeah?
- No.
- Definitely not.
- No.
- No!
- Hell no.
Yeah, no, I meant no.
She's gotta come out
of that dark room on her own.
You must respect the ebb and flow
of the universe.
Right.
We can't intervene.
- We can't.
- [sighs]
That's what friends are for.
[The Artist laughs]
- Then she...
- She fell afterwards.
Right. Right.
What? What are you guys doing here?
Is it my birthday?
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you. No.
- Damn.
- No, no, no.
Why don't you just sit down?
Why don't you leave?
What are you doing here in my house?
Who let you in?
- Maybe we should...
- [Mike] Uh, no,
- oh, my God, no.
- Yes.
Enough with the eggshells.
It's an intervention.
We are here because
Because we care about you.
- [snorts]
- sh*t, um
- I'm sorry.
- Should I go?
- I should go.
- No!
- I'm gonna go.
- No, no!
[The Idealist] Absolutely, you should go.
- No, no, no, Bobby, no.
- You sure?
No.
[Mike] Who's this tosser?
- It's not gonna take long?
- [Bobby] You sure?
- Promise.
- Okay.
All right, why don't you tell me
why you think I need an in...
[The Idealist] Oh! No.
- Classy. Maybe you should go.
- [overlapping] Oh! No!
This f*cking guy.
I have a license! I have a license!
- [Mike] Who is this man?
- It's a toy g*n.
- It's a toy?
- I just wanna...
- [The Artist] That is a toy g*n.
- You're so jumpy.
- Damn.
- Pew-pew-pew-pew-pew. Okay?
- How old is he?
- That's inappropriate.
- You need to go.
- Can we see a license?
- Okay, hold on. You...
- All right, relax.
Relax. He does security.
- [The Idealist] Security? Really?
- Yeah. Yeah.
Gotta make sure the bag is protected.
- What are we doing here?
- I'm gonna go.
- Yeah, I know.
- No. No.
- You take care of whatever this is.
- No.
- No, please don't go. Please.
- I love you.
- [The Idealist] Bye! Adios!
- Don't leave. Please.
- Just call me.
- I will, okay. I love you.
He loves her.
- Love you?
- No, you don't.
- No. Foul.
- Love?
[door closes]
All right, let's get this over with.
Are you serious with this guy?
God. We're just having fun.
- We see all the signs.
- Like what?
Like, you're out partying
on a random Tuesday.
That's not a sign.
I know my signs.
Okay, that's not what this is about.
- What is it about?
- [The Realist] It's about you.
About your need to be in a relationship.
My God, we are just having fun!
It's like, "I love you, babe."
And I'm like, "I love you too, babe."
And that's it.
We're not serious. We're not serious.
We think you might be a sex addict.
What?
- Oh, God. Come on.
- Maybe.
I'm the most monogamous one
out of all of us.
[The Realist] You are
a relationship addict,
running from one relationship to the next.
Okay.
You have a problem.
I have a problem?
You haven't been in a relationship
since the sixth grade.
You go from random hookup to random hookup
so you don't have to get close to anybody.
You just think your feelings all day.
- You write romance novels in your head.
- They're not all in my head.
You'd rather get into an argument
than have sex.
- So?
- And you, you klepto.
You're not even comfortable
being with you.
- Wow.
- [Mike] That's okay.
That's all right. You're okay.
What is wrong with wanting
to spend your life with someone?
[sad music playing]
Why does everybody act
like that is so crazy?
Just to
wanna grow old together.
What am I doing wrong?
[Joe] It's very romantic,
but it's not real love.
- [dog whines]
- [sighs] I know, baby.
How do you feel about the intervention?
They're just trying to help.
I know what they say about me.
About hopeless romantics, that we're weak.
But I'm not weak.
It takes strength
to keep believing in something
after you keep falling flat on your face.
And I do.
I do, Joe, I believe in magic.
I believe good things happen
if you're a good person.
I believe
in soulmates and signs and hummingbirds.
I believe that love never dies
and forever is real
- and as long as I can...
- [alarm beeps]
Time's up.
Let's pick this back up next week.
[phone vibrating]
Wife is calling. One sec.
Hey, what's up, Mama?
- I'm with a patient.
- You talking to her again?
I told you you need to let her go
Love Addicts Anonymous.
Are you kidding me?
We've been doing this for years.
How long are you gonna keep
banging your head up against the wall?
Just try it.
Let's go, Fluffy.
[soft music playing]
[actor on TV] There's no time ever
to just relax and enjoy living.
Everything is too serious
to be so serious.
[actress on TV] If I push too hard,
it's because I want things to be better.
I want us to be better.
I want you to be better.
Sure I make waves. I mean, you have to.
I'll keep making them
until you're every wonderful thing
you should be and will be.
You'll never find anyone
as good for you as I am.
To believe in you as much as I do.
Or love you as much.
- I know that.
- Well, then, why?
Do you think if I come back
it's gonna be okay by magic?
What's gonna be changed?
What's gonna be different?
We'll both be wrong. We'll both lose.
[actress] Couldn't we both win?
[actor laughs]
Oh. [huffs]
[actress] Look
- She's been watching that every day till...
- Four in the morning.
At least she's not shopping online
for a new wedding dress.
She's broken, bro.
Is she, though?
It's a cry for help.
Oh, I'm gonna start a novena.
Here we go.
Lord, please help my girl.
Let's please help her.
Help her love cost a thing.
That's what I'm talking about.
Lift herself up. I need her to stand up.
I need her to figure it out.
I need her to understand who she is.
Look deep inside
and really rectify the wrongs.
Take a break out of these delusions
and to rise up into the sky.
And as my friend Maya Angelou would say,
"When you know who you are
no one can stop you
from being that person."
Stun.
And that is what we need. Amen. Amen.
It should work.
It's amazing how long humans can go
before they get it.
[LAA Leader] This is
Love Addicts Anonymous.
Thanks for joining us.
Well.
We have a new face tonight.
Hi. [huffs]
- [LAA Leader] Hi.
- [group] Hi.
I-I don't know how this works. Do I just...
Do I just talk?
Why don't we start
with why you came to see me?
Okay. Um
I haven't been sleeping well, lately.
I guess I never have. [huffs]
[soft music playing]
When I was little, I used to share
a room with my sister and, um
I used to be so jealous of her
because she used to,
she used to sleep so peacefully,
like a rock.
And I just used to lie there awake,
thinking,
how does anybody sleep that way?
When your heart never goes to sleep.
I guess I always had a restless heart.
Um
I had a broken heart once.
Long time ago.
All my friends, they told me,
you know, to slow down and
I'm serious.
Be by myself for a while, take it easy.
You should spend some time alone.
I didn't.
[bell tolls]
So, here I am.
Ten years and three divorces later.
[scoffs]
My therapist fired me,
so now it's just me and Fluffy.
[group chuckling]
You know, I used to think
that it was everybody else
that was broken.
But now I think
maybe it was just me.
[Jennifer Lopez: "Broken Like Me"]
I loved you so much
And that messed me up
Gave what I could
But it wasn't enough
You drifted away
Left me so numb
Tears on my gown
Look what you've done
And I tried to be honest
But it made me feel weak
And when I think about it
It brings me to my knees
I thought my life was over
I thought hell could be real
Was I all on my own
Or did you ever feel
Broken like me
Broken like me
Searching for love
In all that you see
Broken like me
Tried to believe
That I could fix you
But you're broken like me
Next one was young
Didn't last very long
Dysfunctional fun
So I had to move on
Two babies at home
Mama had to be strong
In battle for love
In a w*r of my own
And I tried to be honest
But it made me feel weak
And when I think about it
It brings me to my knees
Couldn't look in the mirror
Afraid what I'd see
'Cause I still loved you
Loved you more than me
Broken like me
Broken like me
Covered in scars
Now this is me
Broken like me
Hard to believe
There's no other way
I'd want it to be
Broken like me
Broken like me
All of my flaws and you still love me
Broken like me
You always believed
You could find love
With someone broken like me
That was really powerful, what you shared.
Thanks.
Are we gonna see you again next week?
I know. You feel like nobody gets you.
I don't even get me.
[soft music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[soft music playing]
[eerie sigh]
[thunder rumbling]
It's time to give up on all
the old childhood myths and fairy tales.
- [knocking in background]
- [dog whimpers]
Like Alida and Taroo.
Maybe the hummingbird
never finds its flower.
[music ends]
[doorbell rings]
We've all been worried about you and, um
Where've you been?
I've been
going through it.
That's life, innit? [chuckles]
You heading somewhere?
- Yeah. Therapy.
- Oh.
- He took me back.
- Oh, yeah, good.
Turns out you were right all these years.
There are no soulmates.
There are no signs.
No happily ever after.
[soft music playing]
It's just silly. [huffs]
No. No.
Don't be so sure.
This is for you.
This is because of you.
A wedding invitation?
Can you believe it?
He's getting married.
The cynic?
Yeah, Mike.
You gonna go?
[huffs]
I hate weddings.
I had another dream last night.
It was a weird one. It was different.
Tell me about it.
I was back home
in the old neighborhood where we grew up.
And it was, like, foggy and dark and
creepy as sh*t.
[sinister music playing]
And all of my old friends were there.
Hey, look. Big Time's back.
Hey!
I see this is still your favorite corner.
- You know it.
- Knew she'll come back.
Nah, you said she'd never
make it out the Bronx.
Messing with me for never being back home.
And Louis was there too.
Your first crush?
Yeah.
But he's old, you know.
And he says
Flowers don't grow in the Bronx.
And I say
Sometimes they do.
Then what happens?
I just keep walking.
And I had this feeling
like something's following me.
But every time I look back
there's no one there.
I'm getting more and more nervous.
[train horn blares]
So I start walking faster and faster.
I end up right across the street
from my old house
in front of the Botanica.
[Joe] I know the one.
[The Artist] And I look in the window.
What do you see?
Red roses.
[Joe] Like in the hummingbird story?
No, like, like in the heart factory dream.
And I'm staring at them
and this big shadow comes over me.
All of a sudden it reaches out [gasps]
I don't wanna do this.
- Let's just keep going.
- No, I don't...
Someone grabs you.
- [exhales]
- [Joe] Who is it?
[whispers] It's me.
But I'm little, like
eight or nine years old.
Dirty and covered with cuts and bruises.
Does she say anything?
I didn't get enough love.
From Mom and Dad?
From you.
You left me alone.
She's mad at me.
[Joe] What do you wanna say
to that little girl?
I love you.
No, you love everybody else but me.
- I do. I l...
- Liar!
No.
- Hey.
- [Little Jenny whimpers]
[soft music playing]
I love you.
She says
Say it again.
[whispers] I love you.
What do you wanna tell her?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[Jennifer Lopez: "This Is Me Now"]
I watched my mother
Miss out on her life
All those could-have-beens
Became her sacrifice
But here in the darkness
It's not the future nor the past
And 'cause it's meant to be with you
Boy, it will last
You met me halfway
Growing pains
Broke some chains
In every chapter
Now we know
What it takes
For our ever-after
Took some lefts
Now we right here where we are
And I sing
This is me now
This is me now
And I took my time
Lot of winters summers baby
Had to heal my heart
But I love who I am lately
This is me now
When I was a girl
They'd ask me what I'd be
A woman in love
Is what I grew up wanting to be
It's my melody the symphony I sing
[woman on PA] Petal supply increasing.
And your every word
Gave me strength to follow my dreams
You met me halfway
Face to face
[woman on PA] Seal interior chamber.
No holding back
We put in work
Overcame all the disasters
Time apart
Brought us right here where we are
Where we're meant to be
And I sing
This is me now
Love me as I am
This is me now
[woman on PA] Restart in progress.
And I took my time
Lot of winters summers baby
Had to heal my heart
But I love who I am lately
This is me now
Had a lot to learn
Had a lot to grow
Had to find my way
Take me as I am
And I'll take you as you are
And we'll build this life together
I found my sh**ting star
[woman on PA] Heart factory online.
[rhythmic heartbeats]
The double the shine
The greener the diamond
One of a kind
The clearer the timing
Ain't nothing change
You know paps goin' crazy beep beep
Pull up in a black Bugazzi
Baby got a love that'll last forever
Old tingz new tingz it's a new level
All gas no brakes you could come rev it
Baby you know when you want me
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
This is me now
[woman on PA] Heart systems restored.
This is me now
[rhythmic heartbeats]
Stop.
Now.
This is me now
This is me now
She did it.
She really did.
- [excited shout]
- [Gemini] I can't believe I'm crying.
- Whoa!
- Damn, this light is hot.
So bright. Feels good, though.
[Leo] Fairy tales.
I love happy endings.
Don't be gross.
I can't believe it happened.
I know. I can't believe it happened.
How did this happen?
On a molecular level,
from the attraction
of atoms to each other,
we see signs of love
woven into the very fabric of our nature.
Nature?
We're all made of stardust.
Stardust.
- Ancient energy from the stars.
- Yeah.
Those little molecules dancing inside us?
That, too, is love.
It's the unifying force
that creates harmony
- in a world of division.
- All right, babe.
A world of conflict.
Peace is love.
Progress is love.
Faith is love.
- You are love.
- [bell tolls]
Shh
Did you just shush me?
Sh-sh-sh-shut up.
- We're witnessing a...
- Did you hear that?
The nuptial bells are ringing.
[gasps] What is with this woman
and weddings?
[bells tolling]
[Jennifer Lopez:
"Midnight Trip to Vegas"]
I always dreamed
That I'd find somebody like you
We're drowning
In orchid arrangements
Dresses and pastries
What if it's raining, yeah
Is this what we've been dreaming of
It's crowded with families and agents
Room reservations, which destination
Paps, helicopters, event of the ages
Caught in the matrix
Then you whispered in my ear
Said let's get out of here
We can disappear tonight
What about a midnight trip to Vegas
Just me and you baby
Throw the kids in the back
Of the pink Cadillac
And us in the bathroom changing
Midnight trip to Vegas
Both our hearts are racin'
I'll pick you up late
We don't have to wait
Yeah let's do something crazy
Woohoo woohoo woohoo ooo
Woohoo woohoo woohoo ooo
[phone ringing]
- Great session.
- [laughs]
Forgot to ask you.
How was the wedding?
It was nice.
["Midnight to Vegas" resumes]
Glad it wasn't mine.
All the friends were there,
you know, the whole group.
[Mike] Hey, guys, this is it.
Mike was so nervous. It was sweet.
[Joe] Did you go alone?
Did you have a plus-one?
Just me.
Felt good to be there alone.
It was kinda nice
seeing all those people in love.
Reminding me that it's still out there.
I was really happy for them.
You know, I remember thinking
I have these amazing friends
and this incredible life, you know.
And I'm good on my own.
I'm happy.
Whatever happens
Whoever happens
If nothing happens
I'm good.
[music ends]
You know, it's raining outside,
if you need a ride.
Think I'm gonna take the bus.
I like the rain. Magical things happen.
- Okay, Miss Independent.
- [chuckles]
So you're still waiting
for this grand sign from the universe?
Always.
See you next Thursday.
[soft music playing]
[ethereal music playing]
[Jennifer Lopez: "Hummingbird"]
I wanna be there for you
You make me wanna say
I wanna be there for you
Make me better every day
I'm your hummingbird
Baby open your eyes
Hummingbird, I be sending you signs
Sending you signs
Sending sending you signs yeah
I'm your hummingbird
Baby open your eyes
Hummingbird, I be sending you signs
Flying high, tryna tell you it's fine
Tell you what you need to hear babe
'Cause you help me be
The best version of me
Help you be, I'll help you be
And all I wanna do
Is help you be the best version of you
'Cause you help me be
The best version of me
The best version of me
And all I wanna do
Is help you be the best version of you
With love
With all of my love
What are you doing?
You can never give up, Joe.
Never give up.
[thunder rumbles]
[hopeful music playing]
[The Artist] Have you ever heard the story
of Alida and Taroo?
[Jennifer Lopez:
"Greatest Love Story Never Told"]
Different roads two lost souls
Never thought we'd find our way back
Could have lost what matters most
How could I live with that
Missing your body
Climbing on top of me
Slippin' inside of me
Way that I ride it, bodies aligning
Look at our timing
Forget about the world
When we're alone
Only thing that ever felt
Felt like home
Twenty years ago
Feels like time has froze
No, Mamita, you're embarrassing me,
I'm with a patient.
Do you agree? You damn well better.
Did you think about that
before you said it?
Or that just came out?
They're so obsessed with each other.
You take a little right
Down the middle
She's a sunflower.
Make sure I do it right, y'all.
Don't have me out here f*cking it up.
This gotta be one of the weirdest things
I've ever done in my life.
I need a nap. You all done wore me out.
That's love.
You mess with the bull, you get the horns.
You shall always be loved.
We're living in
The greatest love story ever told
We never let it go
And never told a soul
We could have been
The greatest love story never told
Then I wrote the love we spoke
The story goes
That's not true.
I read an article about how
the human body adapts to heartbreak
and there's actually
a lot of health benefits to being alone.
You just can't make this sh*t up,
I tell you.
Twenty years ago
Feels like time has froze
We're living in
The greatest love story ever told
We never let it go
And never told a soul
We could have been
The greatest love story never told
Twenty years ago
Feels like time has froze
We're living in
The greatest love story ever told
We never let it go
And never told a soul
We could have been
The greatest love story never told
Loving yourself
means never having to say
I'm lonely.
It means old Rexy
can go down to the lobby bar,
order the oysters and a club soda,
and go to bed smiling.
Even though the waitress was mean
as a diabetic honey badger.
Because only you
can let the love in your heart die.
And you should never let it die.
[Jennifer Lopez: "Mad in Love"]
You are my heart you're my everything
Oh baby
Wrote me that letter
Then you gave me that ring oh baby
Two decades later
And it still hit the same
Won't lose you, won't lose you
Won't lose you, not this time
'Cause this is how it feels

But it made me a gem
You said hey little one

Please tell me how you been
Wanna feel love
And once you let me in
I'll never leave again
Sincerely hugs and kisses
Affectionately always
After you
I was just a hopeless romantic
Been broken and damaged
Missed your calls still managed
Now I'm not going anywhere
Eternally yours
I don't feel that fading
Looking at my man
Like that's my baby
You holding my hand
Like that's my lady
Thinking bout it now
I was hoping you'd save me
Call me up spell it out
Baby I was missing you still
I just didn't know how to say it
Songs that I wrote
Wondered if you'd play it
Now you inbox
'Cause you still my favorite
When I let you inside it
You decided t o sign it, to sign it
Body language oh I like it
I'm excited can't fight it
When I run into you now, baby

To dine in, to dive in

Baby tell me where ya mind is

[Jennifer Lopez: "This Time Around"]
All my cards laid out
I'm going all-in right now
No more playin' around
Time to do what we talkin' about
No bluffs no act

That's a fact, that's a fact
All that fake sh*t you can't sell me
Nothing you can tell me
