What are you doing?
Trying to go three for three.
Ready? Watch.
Stop that!
Look at this.
You see that group of gorgeous young ladies over there?
There here for you, Sean.
They don't wanna talk to me,
they wanna talk to THE Sean Peyton,
heir to Peyton Enterprises.
Help a buddy out and talk to these girls with me.
Here he is, right there.
Hi.
You remember Candice.
I love that polo shirt.
Great colour on you, Mr. Peyton.
Oh, thanks.
But please call me Sean.
You are so generous to give back like this.
Well, it's just financial assistance.
I'm not coaching the kids myself or anything.
I guess when you're worth millions
you can pay someone to do that for you.
( laughs )
Believe it or not we're actually both worth millions-
Interesting.
So, when can you and I get together?
Maybe discuss another charity event...
Aaaah!
Oh...
Oh my...
I am so sorry.
Don't be.
These aren't my favourite clothes.
Um, ladies, it was so lovely to meet you.
I hope you have a wonderful evening.
Ok.
So, where's the after party?
Shall we?
Alright.
Guys, thank you so much for coming.
I know that this is a bit unorthodox,
but I promise that once the park is saved it'll all be worth it.
Ok, we should- we should all spread out
so we can cover as many cars as possible.
I'm going to go to the front entrance
and cover the executive cars, ok?
Ok, I'll come with you.
Awesome.
Afterwards we'll meet back outside the property
where we parked, ok?
Thanks.
Let's disperse.
Ok.
Still need to work on that posture.
You'll never drive the ball unless you're-
You're standing tall.
I remember, father.
I told you to wear a suit.
What happened to the one I gave you?
You know, I'm just not really a suit and tie kinda guy.
( sighs )
Ok. I'm gonna go this way.
Ok.
I uh... couldn't help but notice that you and Candice
were hitting it off rather well.
You know her?
She's the daughter of a competitor
that I bid against regularly.
It wouldn't hurt to foster that relationship.
It might be a great benefit to you
when you take your place at Peyton Enterprises.
Dad, we've been over this.
Real estate development just isn't my thing.
I want a job that I can actually be passionate about.
Like certified scuba instructor?
Master of odeva rima poetry?
Culinary chef?
Ah, that's right, I forgot
you've already chased all those passions.
Your number's up.
What does that mean?
It means I will no longer be the benefactor of your journey
in self-discovery.
You have one week to find a job.
What?
If you don't find a job,
you come work with me at Peyton Enterprises.
If not, I'm cutting you off.
( stuttering ) You can't be serious.
I can cut you off right now, if you'd like.
Fine.
One week.
You look like you work here.
I'm out of flyers.
Oh, that's ok.
I think we got most of them covered already.
Ok, you guys go ahead.
I'm not leaving without getting the most important car here.
Wait, are you crazy?
It's too risky.
What's risky is losing the park to Peyton
so he can build a hideous strip mall.
Well, I'm not leaving you.
Yeah, me neither.
Strength in solidarity.
Yeah, I can't.
I gotta go.
I gotta meet my friends.
I'm gonna be late.
But I'll see you later?
Don't worry, I'll-
yeah, I'll meet you later.
Ok, sounds good.
Hey!
Oh, shoot!
( car unlocks )
Wha-
Uh... What're you doing?
Arrest me if you must,
but just know that if you call the police
you're only supporting them.
Who?
The Peytons?
Who believe that they can destroy whatever they want
for the sake of their next million.
But I'm sure you wouldn't know anything about that
because you are a valet.
Oh, I- I don't-
Oh, no, I didn't- of course you wouldn't.
You are a caring and compassionate citizen
just like me.
You know, people like us?
We have to stick together.
There they are!
Run.
What?
Run!
Guys, guys.
Hey, hey, how are ya?
Mr. Peyton?
Yeah, yeah.
Uh, you having a good day?
How's your- your moms?
Did you guys plan this?
No, I'm just kidding.
I got her, don't worry about it.
( laughs )
I don't think I've ever had to run
from the authorities before.
Yeah, me neither.
How long do you think we have to wait in here?
I have to work pretty early in the morning.
( laughs )
You were like lightening.
Man, what're they gonna say when you go back empty-handed?
Uh, I'm not gonna go back.
What?
Won't you get fired?
It's kind of a big deal.
Oh, uh... well that stuff you said about
supporting the elitists, I mean...
I can't go back after that.
Really?
Yes.
Allison Johnson, by the way.
Sean.
Pine.
It's nice to meet you, Sean.
I have to check on my friend Beth
and make sure she got out ok.
Yeah.
( message alert )
Allison's back at the truck.
We'll just need to wait till the coast is clear.
So why haven't I seen you at any of our meetings before?
I just moved here.
I've taken my rescue dogs to Fountain Green Park
a couple of times.
A coworker, he told me about what you guys were planning
and I felt like I had to be a part of it.
Me too.
Ah, she's fine.
She's ok?
Great.
Yeah.
Hey, excellent.
You know what?
We should celebrate.
Uh, what did you have in mind?
We could grab some dinner?
We could go to Chez Henri Pierre or the 24 Karat Club...
Country club humour.
But would you mind driving?
I...
Yeah, sure.
Is this yours?
Yeah, um... I'm sorta between cars right now.
My boss let me borrow it.
She has the day off.
I am a food truck driver by day and a law student by night.
Law school, huh?
I tried that once.
Come on up.
Alright.
Let's boogie.
Oh, wow.
I had no idea it was so late.
Is everything ok?
Yeah, I... I'm supposed to um...
meet a friend.
Could you drop me off at the amusement park?
Help a fellow fugitive in need?
Yeah. Of course.
Do you remember where we parked the cars?
Nope.
Ta-dah.
Oh.
Huh.
Pretty impressive.
Yeah, I love this place.
This is the park we're trying to save.
Oh yeah, right.
It's really beautiful.
You know, you've got a pretty good set up here actually.
Yeah.
My boss, Antonia, she does not fool around.
I'm not much of a cook, I usually just assist.
Grilled cheese?
You know what?
After all you've done today,
and for introducing me to your cause,
how about I cook for you?
Ok.
Have you seen Sean?
No.
Ok then.
I'm back in the game.
I really think that with just a little more nudging
he'll come on board.
Hey you!
Will, I've barely seen you all day.
This guy's like my second dad.
Well, Jared, have you seen your "brother" Sean around?
Uh...
He went home.
What?!
But he was my ride.
Not that I couldn't call my driver...
Mr. Peyton, it's been a pleasure.
I'm sure we'll be in touch soon.
I look forward to it.
And please give your father my best.
Will do.
And I'm ready to leave myself.
I may regret this, but I can give you a lift.
Thank you, Mr. Peyton.
You're the best dad ever.
I feel terrible about costing you your job.
Oh, I know.
You can work here.
I will totally put in a good word for you with Antonia.
Oh...
Honestly, it'd be so much fun and it is the least
that I can do for you
after you stuck out your neck like that for me.
Thank you.
Great.
Thank you so much for the ride, Pascal.
Caden!
Beth!
Hi.
I'll- I'll come out.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very funny.
I'm sorry that I'm late.
Oh, no worries.
I'm just glad you made it.
( humming )
Thank you.
This is incredible.
The French call it a "croque monsieur".
But really it's just a fancy way of saying "grilled cheese".
You even managed to get the cheese on the outside.
That is masterful.
Well, merci beaucoup.
Hey, how would you feel about making some more of these?
I have a delivery to the food bank I would love to make.
Yes, sure.
That sounds great. Of course.
Oh, amazing.
Yeah.
Well, how do you feel about taking a swing?
Huh?
In there.
Come on, let's get you a turn.
I don't think so.
I'm- I'm not very athletic.
In fact, I was voted the least athletic in middle school-
Mmmhmm.
Which was the last time that I attempted, like,
sports of any kind.
( laughs )
It's super easy.
You'll be fine, I promise.
You got this.
( gasps )
Oh!!!
I am so sorry.
I swear, I've never seen that happen before.
Leave it to me to be the first person to get injured
in what is essentially a kiddie park.
I feel terrible.
No, it's fine, really.
But could you take me home?
Yeah, of course.
Ok.
You can let me out here, this is fine.
Where do you live?
I can drop you right outside your house.
Oh, no, I uh...
I can walk from here.
It's fine. Thanks.
Ok.
So do you donate to the food bank every day?
I try to, yeah.
I mean, Antonia's not exactly thrilled about it but uh,
the food's just gonna go in the garbage anyway
so why not, right?
Yeah.
Wait, you can walk to your apartment from here
and yet you've never been to Fountain Green Park?
I guess that it's fate that we met.
Well, thanks again for helping me escape the country club.
No, thank you for helping me escape.
Bye.
You seem upbeat.
Where have you been?
Just the food bank.
How was your date with-
Oh no! What happened?
Are you ok?
Yeah.
I mean, I got hit with a ball at the batting cages.
Apparently there's a good reason I don't play sports anymore.
Yeah, a very good reason, apparently.
So, the new guy, Pascal, asked me out.
Elizabeth!
( laughs )
You dog! Two suitors?
I don't know.
I don't think I can date, like, two guys at once.
What?
Just get to know them both better.
I'm sure you'll know what to do.
Thanks.
So what about you?
( mumbling ) What've we got here?
What're you doing?
Those little hor d'oeuvres were not food.
Here we go.
No, I mean what are you doing here?
Oh, uh, your dad gave me a ride back to my car
since you ditched me.
We thought you'd be here but you weren't.
Where've you been?
I...
met a woman today.
Finally!
Yeah.
Where?
Uh, the parking lot of the club.
Well, actually, funny enough,
she was fighting to save a park
from the evil Peyton Enterprises.
That doesn't sound like a promising story.
I know that you want to save the world and all,
but you deserve to have some fun, too.
I have plenty of fun.
Working, studying, volunteering,
what's not fun about that?
Oh, come on.
Wouldn't it be kind of awkward to date this girl
once you start working for Peyton Enterprises?
Did my father tell you that?
No, no, no, no, no.
I have a week to find a job on my own.
I only have to go to work for him
if I can't make that happen.
Otherwise he'll cut me off.
He can't cut us off.
Wait, Allison.
The girl that I- I met, she works on a food truck.
Imagine what your father would say if you worked there.
Hey, a job is a job.
My father never said what type of job.
Hmm?
You aren't working today?
What?
Working?
Shoot, I'm late.
That is impressive.
Hey, you.
Sean.
You're late.
I know, I'm sorry.
I- I missed my bus.
I like your friend.
He made me a chocolate soufflé this morning that was so good
I hired him on the spot.
That's pretty great.
Well, come on, sous chef.
Lunch rush is gonna start soon, right?
Come on. Get up here.
Ok.
Where did all this come from?
Sean insisted on bringing his own cookware and pro mixer.
And who am I to say no to new kitchen gear?
Wow.
Where'd you get all this?
Uh, it was a graduation gift.
I haven't had a chance to use it until now, so...
A Cordon Bleu graduate in my own kitchen.
This is gonna be good for business.
We should advertise!
Paper the neighbourhood.
Huh?
You know what you need is your own app.
That way people can tell where you are that day,
they'll get menu updates, photos...
Don't bother.
I have been telling her this for a year now
and she never listens to anything I say.
No, no, no, no, no.
You said social media.
He's talking about my own app.
That's even better.
I got you, Antonia.
( laughs )
Is this guy amazing, or what?
Wow, Cordon Bleu, huh?
Like, Paris?
I mean, I took most of the courses online, but...
Right.
Well, Cordon Bleu, are you ready for your first lunch rush?
Oui.
No sweat. It's gonna be fun.
Hi, how are you?
There you go.
Here you go.
Enjoy.
Caden, hi.
Hey, Beth.
What're you doing here?
I had to come make sure you were feeling better.
Oh, that's sweet.
I'm fine. Really.
So, that was a bad first date, right?
We can both agree on that?
Yeah.
Yeah, we can agree on that.
( laughs )
Um, I really wanna make it up to you.
Aw, that's sweet.
You really- you don't have to.
And besides, I'm hosting a poetry reading tonight.
Do you wanna come?
Yeah, sure.
Um, what happens at a poetry reading?
People pretty much just read their poetry.
No, yes, it makes sense.
I will be sure to be there and check it out.
That's great.
Hey, is this the petition to save the park?
Yeah.
If we get enough signatures
we can present it to the town council
and hopefully stop the park from being bulldozed.
Can I take some of these?
I have some friends who would definitely sign it.
Great. That would be super helpful.
Thank you.
Well, I'll let you get back to work.
Great, thank you.
And I'll see you later?
Of course.
Ok.
More buns?
Uh, yeah, the buns are under the counter.
Under the counter... a-ha!
Uh, do you have order 65?
Order 65.
Yeah.
Up.
For you.
Thank you.
Order 71!
Order 74!
78!
Great.
Uh, Sean, I still need order 68.
68?
Ah.
Mademoiselle.
68!
Thank you.
How'd he do?
He was alright.
Well, I can take care of the late shift
if you guys wanna take a break.
You sure?
Yeah.
I could really use a break.
Good job today.
Thank you.
See ya.
Well, I have to get some more signatures for the petition.
Well, do you want some help?
Nah, you don't have to do that.
I know. I want to.
Really?
Yeah.
Ok.
"Save the Park".
It's a pretty great park.
Yeah.
We actually only need a few hundred more signatures
before we can present to town council, so...
That's it?
Mmmhmm.
Well, let's go get some John Hancocks.
Yeah.
( laughs )
Hi and welcome to the-
Hey, Pascal.
How is the bookkeeper doing today?
The bookkeeper is a little anxious.
She's planned a poetry reading tonight
and is hoping that it will draw a crowd.
You're doing a poetry reading?
That's amazing.
I uh, I wrote a few poems in college.
You're kidding.
I mean- well, it would be perfect.
Could-
you have to read one.
You think so?
Definitely.
So uh... do you- do you write?
I dabble.
I have one to share tonight.
Well, if you're half as good at poetry
as you are from fleeing the authorities,
you're gonna do great.
Do you want me to show you around?
Please.
Ok.
Save the park!
Stop Peyton Enterprises from paving over our community!
Hey, guys, save the park?
Ma'am. Ma'am.
Miss, would you like to save Fountain Green Park
by signing this petition?
Why not?
Great.
That's great.
Yeah, it's pretty horrible.
You are gonna love that the park will be around
for your grandkids.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Sean Peyton.
Candice... how are you?
What is that for?
What?
Oh.
Oh, just some uh...
field research I'm doing for my father.
That's genius.
Why haven't I thought of that?
Your father is so lucky to have you at the company.
Oh, him and I have a special bond, alright.
Maybe we could get together sometime.
Chat more about your field research.
Uh, it's kind of a proprietary thing.
It's a... company secrets and yadda yadda, so...
Ok.
Ok, well I'm sure we could find something else to talk about.
Sure, sounds good.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, me too.
How about lunch? At the club?
Great.
I'll call you.
Have a lovely day, Sean.
You too.
She seemed pretty interested in the petitions.
Do you think she could be a Peyton lawyer?
Uh, no. She's nobody.
Just another concerned resident.
Honestly, you can never be too sure.
Peyton Enterprises has an entire team of people
just waiting to derail this project.
Not everyone is who they say they are.
Right. Yeah.
So thank you so much for helping me with this whole thing.
Oh, no problem.
Any time.
How can I repay you?
Um... how about a guided tour of the park?
Yeah, I can do that.
Great.
And that's the end of the grand tour.
The Book Barrel in all of its glory.
And with such a lovely tour guide.
Is there anything I can do to repay the favour?
Well, could you get some signatures on the park petition?
Of course.
I'll pass these around the clinic.
Awesome. Thanks.
Yeah.
So, see you tonight?
See you then.
Bye.
What am I doing?
You're right, this is definitely the best part.
It makes me so sad
to think about all of this being wiped away.
Over the years do you know how many animal families
I've seen raised here?
They'll have no where to go.
I can't believe the Peytons want to destroy that.
They seem pretty awful.
Yeah. You wanna know what's even more sad?
What's that?
This.
William Peyton Sr. is a benefactor.
Ironic, isn't it?
One generation of Peytons built this park,
the next one wants to tear it down.
That is almost the very definition of irony.
Well, if we get enough signatures
we have a chance of presenting this to council
and blocking them.
Sean, are you ok?
Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
Ok, let's see here.
How do I...
Hello.
Would you like to... no?
Ok.
Hi guys.
Father?
You're late.
Where've you been all day?
Actually, I've been working.
You know, at uh... at my job.
Funny.
I'm being completely serious, father.
And what is this job?
Head chef.
So we're back to cooking, are we?
Mmm.
And where exactly is this?
C'est si Bon.
Never heard of it.
Well, it's... it's downtown.
Upscale French dining.
Mmm. Thanks.
I'm going to need some proof.
Well, it's- it's my first week on the job.
I can't have my father showing up-
I mean like a pay stub, W2, 1099.
Yeah, fine.
I can get you one of those.
Now remember, you have to stick with it.
You can't quit or get fired.
Dad, what do you know about Fountain Green Park?
Don't remind me about that place.
It's a PR nightmare.
I meant more about the history of the park...
( phone ringing )
People don't want to see their homes gain property value.
It's ridiculous.
Uh, just one moment, George.
I uh...
I'm not cutting this short.
You're the one who was late.
Yes, go ahead.
Right.
Hey, you.
Allison, what're you doing here?
Well, you never share any of your poems with me
so I had to come see for myself.
Thanks.
Um, is Caden coming?
Yeah.
And so is Pascal.
Oh, wow.
Ok.
Yeah.
Well, good luck.
Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice day.
Hi there.
Hi there, can I bother you for just a quick signature
to save Fountain Green?
Thanks.
Is that the time?
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Hi everybody, and welcome to
the Book Barrel's inaugural poetry night.
Let's get things started.
Please give a warm welcome to our first poet of the night,
Pascal Lucezzi.
( applause )
Thank you.
I think I'll start tonight with a haiku.
This is for someone special.
Perfect.
Maybe so.
If you like tall and comely.
Be perfect with me.
You have lost your mind.
You're collecting signatures in order to block your own father
from building the shops at Fountain Green?
It's just a couple signatures.
And it's only to stop him from putting the shops
on the part that my grandfather helped build.
Thank you.
I really hope she's worth it.
Because you're getting disowned for sure.
If it weren't for Allison I wouldn't have even known
about the park.
Or the plaque.
So, do you plan on telling her you're a Peyton anytime soon?
No, not yet.
I still think I'm growing on her.
Like a fine mould.
( laughs )
So I guess it's my turn.
My words still stuck between two lines,
Shadowboxed fonts too fine or too narrow to be seen by him,
The stranger who knew me when.
Make her favourite meal?
That could be easy, you're already on the food truck.
Yeah, she does love my croque monsieur.
Wait, it says that's romantic?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Surprise her by uploading her favourite music
on her phone or mp3 player.
Oh yeah, I can work with that.
Boom.
Romance.
If these things actually work.
Yeah, you may have to re-think your dating scheme, pal.
But why fix what isn't broken?
( applause )
Thank you.
Thank you everyone for coming tonight.
Now, there's treats and coffee out back
so please help yourself.
You were so incredible.
Thanks.
And thank you so much for coming.
Of course.
So um, Caden didn't show up, hey?
I guess not.
Well, at least Pascal came.
Yeah.
Was it just me or were his poems a little... odd?
Maybe some poems are just like that?
Yeah.
I should get back to studying.
Of course.
I mean, if you flunk out because of my poetry night
I'll never forgive myself.
Although you could write a poem about it.
That's true.
Just saying.
See you later.
Bye.
Hey.
No, after you.
Thanks.
Wow.
Socially conscious and the soul of a poet.
You were amazing.
You did really well tonight, too.
Your poems are really something.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, people tell me that all the time.
I am so sorry, Beth.
I was collecting signatures-
Don't even worry about it.
Oh, I got these for you.
Oh, they're beautiful.
Thank you.
Caden, you remember Pascal?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, from the-
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, you- ok.
Well, um, look. I should probably call it a night.
But um, you know, I did manage to get over 500 signatures
on the petition, so...
That's amazing.
Pascal, that's enough to get us in front of the city council.
Thank you.
Hey, it's my pleasure.
Have a nice night, Beth.
Caden.
Yeah.
See ya later.
Hey.
I really wanted to be here and hear you read your poem,
I just- I lost track of time.
I know that it's not really your thing.
No, it's totally my thing.
It's- ok, it's not- it's not really my thing
but it's your thing and I just-
I wanted to be here.
Can I treat you to some coffee and doughnuts?
Maybe you can tell me how it went?
Sure.
That'd be good.
Yeah.
And I kept falling,
and my dad kept yelling "hold your arms like this, Caden!"
( laughs )
And I'm like "I'm doing it,
the stupid skis must be broken!"
Anyways, my little brother,
who was like seven at the time,
gets up perfectly on his first try.
Waterskiing, huh?
By the way, I'm much better now.
Uh huh.
My friends and I go to the lake like once a month.
Have you been?
I can't say that I have.
Well, you have to come out with us next time.
That sounds like fun.
Hi.
Hey.
I'm not late.
I see that.
Hey.
Oh, perfect timing.
I made your favourite.
Croque monsieur and french fries.
On a real plate?
Yeah.
Wow.
Fancy.
Um, what's the occasion?
Oh.
( plays music ) ♪♪
( laughs )
Oh my- I love this song.
I know you do.
What do you mean, "I know"?
Well, you play it all the time.
I also know that you have exams
and you've been a little bit stressed,
so I just thought it'd be nice if you were able to relax,
even if it's just for a few minutes.
This is amazing.
Then have dinner with me tomorrow night.
Look, it's not you.
It's me.
You can't use a break-up line on me,
we've never even been out.
Well, I hope we can still be friends.
What?
Oh...
Ahem.
Don't we have a lunch to prep for?
Yeah.
On it.
Sorry.
Wanna save Fountain Green Park?
Thank you.
Hey guys?
If you love Fountain Green Park like I do
and if you wanna preserve it,
sign the petition now before it's too late.
Thank you.
Thanks for making a difference.
Order 218.
218. That's for you.
Enjoy.
Next!
There's only one C'est si Bon in the entire country.
Would you like to order something, sir?
We have a savoury crepe on special today.
I'm not interested in what you're serving.
I want to know what you think you're doing here.
Well, look who it is.
Mr. William Peyton himself.
Somebody getting a little bit scared
that they're not gonna be able to pave over our park?
Are you the girl that's been littering the town
with those flyers?
It's called freedom of speech, Mr. Peyton,
and I intend to exercise it.
If you think that you-
Sir, if you're not going to order anything
I suggest you just keep moving.
We've got a lot of hungry customers here, so...
( knocking )
Hi.
Um, what are you doing here?
What are those?
Well, I thought I'd get you comfortable around these things
before I take you out on the lake.
I know how you can get around athletic equipment, so...
( laughs )
Oh my.
Yeah, hop on in.
Ok.
Oh, this is crazy.
Am I doing it?
Pretty much.
Here, bring your arms forward, bend your knees...
you're a natural.
( laughs )
What are these?
Oh, those are food bank donations.
I prepped them early
so that we wouldn't have to worry about it-
Food bank?
Does this look like a charity to you, Cordon Bleu?
No, it's not.
I bought a truck so that I could run a business.
We give people food in exchange for money.
Antonia, listen.
It's not his-
No, this is the most profitable we have ever been
and you two wanna give it away?
Then take it out of my paycheque.
Yeah, I think that's what's gonna happen.
Ok.
I am so sorry.
I- I'm gonna make sure that she takes half
out of my paycheque, as well.
No, no, no, no, no, I wanna do this.
I'm just- I'm just following your lead.
Everything that you do for everybody,
you've inspired me.
What about dinner tomorrow night?
Yeah, she can take that out of my paycheque, too.
I don't care.
No, I- I mean you and me.
Are you messing with me?
No.
Any guy who gives that much is worth at least one dinner.
Seriously?
Ok.
I um... I also got you something.
It's a poetry book.
And short stories.
I don't really know anything about it, or poetry,
but my sister recommended it, so...
I'm- it looks amazing.
Um... oh, did you happen to get
any more signatures on that petition?
I mean, it's no big deal, we have plenty,
but it always helps to have more.
Yeah. Um, I got a few, but I think I can do even better.
Would you give me a few more days?
Of course.
Awesome.
Perfect.
I'm gonna get these out of here.
Yeah, no more injuries.
Yes.
( laughs )
Cool.
Thank you again.
Alright.
I'll help you.
What did I tell you?
Where do you even find something like this?
Rented it from one of the valets at the club.
It felt appropriate, seeing as that's how you met Allison.
Perfect for an average joe like yourself.
I'm afraid I'm gonna feel a little less than average
in this thing.
Easy.
She doesn't look like much but she drives quite nicely,
truth be told.
No, no, no, I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
No, this is spot on.
Good job, buddy.
Hey, thank you for doing this, Jared.
Of course.
Hoo-hoo, she's a beauty.
After tonight, there's gonna be no more hiding.
I'm gonna show up as Sean Pine,
I'm going to take her to Chez Henri Pierre,
and I'm just gonna lay all my cards out on the table.
Still the same guy, just different last name.
Boys.
What are we up to this evening?
Nothing-
Sean has a date.
A date?
In this?
His- his car is in the shop, so I- I got him a loaner.
I presume you'll be moving on from the food truck nonsense.
Now, you let me know when you're done
with this minor distraction
and we'll set you up as a junior executive
at the company.
Oh, and uh...
champagne's on me.
Enjoy yourselves.
( laughing )
Shut it.
See you later.
Look at you.
Allison has a hot date with a boy and not a text book
for a change.
It's just a dinner. Calm down.
Oh, I'm staying calm.
You look stunning.
Wish me luck.
You don't need it.
This one seems like a real winner.
You know, the more time I spend with him
the more I think he is.
Bye bye Allison's sad life plan.
The new Allison has herself a man.
Ok, that is officially my least favourite poem of yours.
Well, the truth hurts.
Bye.
Have fun.
Hi.
You look nice.
And you look... absolutely breathtaking.
Come here, please.
M'lady.
Thank you.
Tonight I'm gonna take you to the nicest place in town.
Last time I heard that I was an undergrad.
I went on a date with this guy,
I guess he was trying to impress me,
because he took me to Chez Henri Pierre.
It was my worst nightmare.
It was so not my thing.
I'm definitely not taking you there.
( message alert )
How did you ever find this place?
I'm always looking for the best taco in town
and one day I found it, here.
Hmm.
Is that so, Cordon Bleu?
Uh huh.
Well, thank you for sharing your secret with me.
What secret?
This place.
What other secret would I be referring to?
I- I thought you meant... um,
I don't know.
I'm a- I'm a man of many secrets.
Wait. I have a secret.
You do?
I wasn't rejecting you because of work or school.
It's because you think I'm hideous?
Yes.
( laughs )
No. Of course not.
I got really hurt by my last boyfriend.
He broke my heart.
I thought he was the one.
Turns out he didn't think I was the one.
He thought my roommate, Tiffany, was the one.
Oh, ouch.
Yeah.
Anyway, I just... I've had a hard time trusting people
since then, you know?
That's- that's gotta be horrible. Wow.
Yeah. It was.
But I'm so happy to know now that people exist
who are completely genuine and real.
So... thank you for that.
Right.
Anyway, what was the, uh, big secret you wanted to tell me?
My secret is that uh...
I am a mini-golf champion and I am going to take you down.
Are you ready?
Ok, listen.
I only have one sport in my life and it is mini-golf.
Prove it.
You are going to be so sorry!
I didn't realize that you literally meant
"walk in the park".
I love it out here at night.
The fresh air really helps clear my head, you know?
I mean, who knows how much longer
we'll be able to enjoy it?
This one could be next.
Yeah, it's awful that we could lose it.
Both of them.
Speaking of which, um,
I want to get those signatures on the petition.
I mean-
I can't believe you got so many people to sign.
Um-
Thank you so much, Pascal.
Funny thing about the petitions, um...
Look, Beth, I'm not really all that into the cause.
What?
I... I joined your group to meet people.
And it worked.
Mmmhmm.
It did, I met you.
So you lied.
I just... I- I don't care about saving a park.
Ok, well I have to go now and try and figure out
what to do about a petition that I no longer have
enough signatures for.
Look, Beth, I really like you.
Was that really your poetry?
Yeah, it was.
Well, you probably should have lied about that.
Well, this is it.
It all comes down to the 18th hole.
Are you scared?
Stop it.
A-ha!
Did you see that?
What?!
Hole in one.
Oh yeah!
( message alert )
Oh, um... I should-
I should probably check that.
Yeah.
I still have a turn, you know.
That's awfully rude.
Oh, no.
Beth says Pascal never got any signatures.
We were counting on those signatures
to present to council.
Can I help?
Can you get 500 signatures in two days?
I can try.
I should go.
Beth is freaking out and we have to strategize.
Yeah, yeah. Of course.
I'll drive you.
I had a really nice time.
I got your text.
What're we gonna do?
We'll just have to wake up early and try
and get enough signatures in time.
I mean, I can't believe
that Pascal would lie to me like that.
I'm sorry, I know you kinda liked him.
I didn't really like him.
I mean, I wanted to like him
because I thought we had so much in common.
Turns out that we didn't have anything in common at all.
But enough about me, how was your date with Mr. Perfect Pine?
He planned this date
that was exactly what I would have planned.
You were right. I needed some fun.
And Sean is fun.
Well, I'm really proud of you.
I know that it's not easy to put yourself back out there
after having your heart broken, but this is a good thing.
I think you're right.
Hi Caden.
Uh, what's going on?
Well, I'm sure you have enough signatures
so it probably won't make a difference, but ta-dah.
I got some friends to help me out.
We got like 700 people to sign on the dotted line.
That's... that's amazing!
Oh my gosh.
Are you ok?
I'm calling Allison.
( ringing )
Please leave a message.
Voice mail.
Allison, it's Beth.
Call me back.
Caden got 700 signatures.
Ok, bye.
Oh my gosh.
Guess what!
Oh my god.
You scared me.
You're like a blonde ninja.
We got all the signatures.
What? Already?
Mmmhmm.
Oh my god, that's amazing!
Well, I guess you won't be needing this anymore.
( laughs )
What, a pie?
It was supposed to be a "feel better" pie.
What's a "feel better" pie?
Well, it could be a "you can do it" pie or a "don't be sad" pie
or a "buck up, little trooper" pie,
they all have the same ingredients, so...
You made this?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, it was uh... it was nothing.
A piece of cake, if you will.
Except it's pie.
Right, right, right. You get it.
Yeah.
Do you like it?
It's amazing.
I have to admit, you make everything sporty sound like
so much fun.
Like waterskiing.
I mean, I really would love to learn.
Yeah?
How about this week?
My life is in your hands.
Oh, wow.
( laughs )
No pressure, huh?
None.
Another successful lunch rush.
Yeah.
Something wrong?
Oh, no, I'm just, um... this huge exam
that I'm not at all prepped for
because I've been so preoccupied
with all the park stuff.
Sorry.
Honestly, I'm... I'm not getting any of this anyway,
it's just way too much memory.
Oh, torts.
Come on, I can help you study.
I am the king of mnemonic devices.
Alright, intentional torts, four of them against persons.
Can you name them?
Assault, battery, uh...
Fabied.
Fabied?
F A B I E D.
False imprisonment, assault, battery,
and... Infliction of emotional distress.
Ok.
See? You've got it.
So easy.
Alright, next.
Ah, property torts.
Ok.
You've got this whole section nailed.
You're gonna ace this exam.
Well, you have saved my life once again.
I guess you'll have to keep me around then.
I think I'm ready to commit to that.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I keep trying to tell you something
and it keeps not coming out.
What is it?
When you met me, the circumstances were odd.
Well, it makes for a great "how we met" story.
Well, what I mean is...
( phone ringing )
I have dinner with my father.
Now?
Yeah.
God.
He's a workaholic and we have this standing dinnertime
once a week.
I basically have to be scheduled into his life.
That's kinda sad.
Yeah, it is what it is.
It's a family tradition, I guess.
I'm sorry.
Well, do you wanna finish what you were telling me first?
Oh, um...
do you mind if we put it on the back burner for now?
Yeah, sure.
Um... I'll call you later.
Ok.
Have a nice dinner.
Yeah, I'll try.
May I?
So, have you had a chance to look over the proposal?
I did, indeed.
( door opens )
Ah-ha ha ha, you're early.
Me? Never.
Candice.
Long time, no see.
Uh, Candice had some business matters she wanted to discuss
and I figured why not invite her over for dinner?
Great.
May I pour you some wine?
No, thank you, father.
You know, I'm a little sick of salad niçoise.
Do you think they've got a burger back there?
( laughs )
That's funny.
Sean has been working on a food truck serving French fare.
Really?
Why would you do that?
It's a lot of fun.
I get to meet people from different parts of town.
I'm the head chef.
Oh.
He'll be joining me at the company soon.
Taking over the family business.
I hope so.
I was telling your father I recently inherited
the perfect piece of property out east of Glenville.
It'd be a great opportunity for us
to work on our first development together.
I'm sure it's a lovely proposal.
What do you think, father?
I've kicked it downstairs to the boys in planning.
By the way, I heard about a petition against your shops
at Fountain Green Park project.
These things happen all the time.
It's a quick fix.
These petitions never get very far.
The mayor can just veto it like that.
I think you'd be making a lot of enemies.
No one of substance or consequence.
Sean, what are you doing?
Candice, it was so lovely to see you.
Please excuse me.
Excuse me.
Hey, Sean.
What happened in there?
I- I'm really sorry about that.
My dad thinks it would be a good idea
for the company if you and I dated.
Neither of us want that.
I've been trying to make a deal with you.
I think I may have a solution to your little park problem.
What's in it for you?
It's obvious your father doesn't take me seriously,
but with your help we might be able to convince him.
I know a good business deal when I see one.
Alright.
How about lunch at the club tomorrow?
I'll be there.
Ok.
Hey.
Uh, where's Sean?
He called in sick.
Oh.
But I got an A on my exam.
I have to thank him.
Hmm.
Well, I don't know where he is.
Well, do you have his address on file or anything?
I do.
Hold on.
He only gave me a PO box number.
What? That's weird.
Yeah.
You don't think he's like, you know, homeless or something?
His vehicle did kinda look like it had been lived in.
( laughs )
I'm just kidding.
He went to Cordon Bleu.
Yeah, online.
What?
Don't you have a job you should be at right now?
Don't you?
My job is knowing people, Sean.
Uh, I'm waiting for Candice.
Excuse me?
Well, my father is gonna have Allison's petition shot down.
Candice seems to think she has a solution
that'll keep everybody happy, so...
The business partner of my enemy is my friend.
Gentlemen?
Hi.
Nice seeing you both.
I will be... not here.
Good.
Sorry about that.
Please, have a seat.
So what have you got for me?
Ok.
Here you go, thank you so much.
Have a great day.
Allison! Allison! You won't believe it!
What? What're you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be at work?
William Peyton just had the petition pulled
from the town council's agenda.
What?! How?
Well, he's a Peyton.
What do you mean, how?
We have to do something.
I bet I know where he is.
Where?
Where all the wealthy people in this town always are.
The country club.
( sighs )
Could you cover for me?
Ok. Go save our park.
Ok.
He has no idea who he's messing with.
How can we convince my father that your land
is a better site for the building project?
We are gonna have to do a lot of research on the area.
Demographics, consumer reports...
Seems like it's gonna take a lot of time.
It may.
This is urgent.
I know.
We're gonna get this all sorted out.
Trust me.
Ok.
Sean?
What- what're you doing here?
Antonia said you were sick.
Membership has its privileges.
Uh, Sean and I have a little business to discuss
but it shouldn't take too long.
I'm Candice.
Membership?
I- I thought you were a valet.
Can I talk to you?
Please?
Come with me.
Ok.
You remember I had something I wanted to tell you?
I love tacos.
And I love mini-golf.
I love dancing like a goofball,
I love donating to the food bank.
All of that stuff is real.
The only thing that wasn't real was my last name.
I'm Sean Peyton.
What?
I tried to tell you.
I trusted you.
I didn't want to lie to you.
I shouldn't have.
I didn't want this to go on as long as it did.
Then why did you?
You didn't give me a choice.
I see.
Ok, so this is all my fault.
Wow.
Allison, wait.
Al-
I'm... I'm sorry, I've...
excuse me.
Allison!
I messed up really good this time.
We can fix this.
We just need to find another way to save the park and...
And convince Allison that I'm not a pathological liar.
I'll admit, the cards are somewhat stacked quite heavily.
I can't go back and work on the truck
'cause she'll be there.
She's never gonna trust another human being ever again
and it's all my fault.
Hold on.
Just a couple of weeks ago
Sean Peyton was an aimless loser.
Dude-
Then, BAM.
Allison comes along and suddenly you had purpose.
You got up and went to a job every day
for the first time in your life.
Yeah, it's true.
I'm not gonna let you give up.
This is the time to dig your heels in and fight.
Man, can't you just let me wallow for a little while?
Depends.
What's in it for me?
Oh my god.
( knocking )
Here's your tea.
Oh, thanks.
How are you doing?
Do you want to talk about it?
Not really.
Well, I understand.
( ringing )
Come on, Allison.
Please, please, please.
( phone ringing )
Voice mail ): Please leave a message.
( phone ringing )
Hey, Caden.
I was just in the neighbourhood
and I wanted to ask you something.
Sure. Go ahead.
Will you be my girlfriend?
Sure.
Awesome.
Well, I'll let you get back to it.
Was that it?
Yeah, that's it.
Do you not have food at your house?
I'm a single 20-something man.
Of course I don't.
Hey, Cordon Bleu, take it easy.
I'm pretty sure they can revoke your certification
for something like that.
Who cares?
What in the world do you have to sulk about?
Let's see.
I lost my job, I lost the park, uh...
oh, I also lost the only person who ever genuinely liked me for me
and not for the family that I come from.
Are you still on about that park?
Let the next misguided philanthropist bequeath
a new park.
Peyton Enterprises isn't in the park building business,
we're in the commercial development business.
Wait!
You don't know, do you?
Know what?
Right.
You probably only saw your father
at your weekly scheduled dinners, too.
Come with me.
I'll drive.
I don't have time for a drive, son.
Dad.
Whatever it is, it can wait.
Ok? If you come with me now to see the park
before you pave it over, I'll come work for you.
Just like you always wanted.
Ok, fine.
I'll come with you to end this melodrama once and for all.
Great.
I'll see you later.
I'll be here.
More flowers from Sean?
Yep.
Allison, why don't we go and see a movie
or something this afternoon?
I can't. I have to work.
I'm sure Antonia would understand.
I'm not gonna let Antonia down.
That's what Sean did to me and if I turned around
and did the exact same thing then I'd be no better than him.
Well, just call Sean back.
He seemed like a genuinely good guy.
There's no way he could have faked every moment with you
for the past few weeks.
No one is that good of an actor.
You don't know his reasons, Beth.
He took you on your favourite date
without even knowing it.
Please just stop it, ok?
You're bringing me to the park to, what,
guilt me into not building here?
Nope.
I wanted to show you this.
A plaque?
Look closer, dad.
Well, would you look at that.
Seems as though the Peyton Enterprises
is in fact in the park building business.
I had no idea.
You've been fighting to level a park
that your own father was instrumental in building.
I don't know what to say, son.
I didn't know.
Yeah, me neither.
Every summer my father would take me to a park
very much like this one
and we'd catch lightening bugs in Mason jars.
I looked forward to that more than any holiday.
Eventually the business grew and grew
and we'd go to the park less and less.
And I'm afraid that I have carried on
that less than stellar tradition with you, son.
After your mom died,
work was the best distraction.
Much like my various ventures across the world.
I suppose we grieve in the same way, too.
The truth is I want you at the company.
Not just to instill a good work ethic
but to spend time with you.
Why didn't you say anything?
I- I guess I just didn't realize it until now.
Dad, I have to save this park.
I'm willing to do absolutely anything it takes
to make that happen.
I'll even... honour my commitment to come work
at Peyton Enterprises.
You'd be willing to do that?
If that's what it's gonna take, then yes.
For the girl in the truck, right?
The feisty one?
( laughs )
That day I saw you on the truck, the way you looked at her?
Made perfect sense.
Just like your mother.
Why? How so?
A hopeless romantic.
( laughs )
So, do we have a deal?
Welcome to Peyton Enterprises.
You know, there's somebody I think you should talk to.
Under the circumstances I didn't think you'd come in today.
Did you hear from him?
Yeah.
What's there to say?
It was all a lie.
He was using me to help his father, so...
But how do you know that?
Nothing else makes sense.
So they won.
Yeah.
No more park.
No more playground, no more stream.
Work hard and study.
You still have a bright future ahead of you
with many parks and many more people to save.
Allison, right?
I'm sorry, uh, do I know you?
Not officially, but I feel like I know you.
I'm Sean Peyton's best friend.
I think you should hear him out.
I'm here because I think Sean deserves a defense.
You need to know Sean had absolutely nothing to do
with his father's development project, I swear.
I don't believe you.
You really think a Peyton would work on a food truck
just to get some details from a small protest group?
You're the first person Sean's ever met
who didn't want something from him.
You think you have trust issues?
Imagine how he feels.
Ok.
So?
He's avoided working for his father for a decade.
He's- he's run across the world to get away from him.
But today he gave in.
What do you mean?
He agreed to work at Peyton.
The one thing he's never wanted to do
in exchange for saving the park.
For you.
Really?
He's clearly crazy about you.
He and William are at the park right now.
I can't believe he would do that for me.
I can't let him do that for me.
Yes, go.
Thank you.
Are you opening soon?
'Cause saving the day really gives me an appetite.
( laughs )
Sure, what're you having?
I'll have one of everything.
Sean!
Excuse me.
Hey.
What're you doing here?
Jared told me everything.
About how you offered to take a job at your father's company
on my account.
Look, I know we want to save the park, but not that way.
Please, don't take the job.
You know, not everybody's horrified
at the thought of working for me.
The park stays.
I promise.
Allison, I'd like you to meet Candice.
Candice, this is Allison.
We sort of met at the club.
Hi.
So Candice here has a plot of land
that's about the exact size of this park
that she's willing to put on the table
in exchange for a partnership stake
in my father's shopping development.
So the park won't be destroyed?
Exactly.
Well, what's in it for you?
Well, I get to save my father's legacy.
And thank you for pointing that out, by the way.
Jared said that you were going to take a job
at your father's company.
Technically that's true.
Sean brokered a deal between myself and Candice here
and so he's entitled to a finder's fee.
It's a one-time thing and I can spend the money
exactly how I want.
Like on a food truck or buying meals for the food bank...
things like that.
Oh, son, I- I don't think that sounds like
a very smart business plan.
William, we better be going.
We need to meet with the lawyers
to hash out the finer points of the deal.
Absolutely.
You know, I thought it was time
that the Peyton name stood for something different.
I see.
I'm Sean Peyton, by the way.
Allison Johnson.
Pleasure to meet you.
Saving the park was the least that I could do.
I never would have known about it or my family's legacy
if it weren't for you.
I owe you.
You do?
And you know,
I really caught the park-saving bug I think.
Oh, you should see the one I have my eye on next.
What? Another park?
Oh yeah.
I might even name it after you.
Allison Park.
No, Johnson Park.
Sean Peyton.
You are-
No.
You are.
You don't even know what I was gonna say.
Oh. Um, awesome?
Incredible?
Stupendous.
That was the one, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Something like that.
Wait.
There's something else I have to tell you.
What?
I'm just kidding.
Are you going to do that to me for the rest of your life?!
No.
But I am gonna do this.
Come on.
