Insurance seven, take three. Marker.
That was fantastic, you guys.
Mia, can you dust the snow off the leads' clothing?
On it.
I want to re-set one more time so we can get
a snap-zoom of the guy's reaction.
On it.
Whoa, whoa-- we're doing another shot?
It'll look amazing.
I see where you're going for,
but I don't think we need it.
Come on, Dave, throw us a bone here.
Gives something fun to do
besides pointing the camera straight ahead.
Bruce, we don't need it.
We're on-time,
we're under-budget,
and we have all the shots that the creative director--
that is me-- needs.
Okay, Dave, I feel like your concept is great,
but I feel like the ad agency
put us together this week for a reason.
I'm just here to bring a little more... oomph.
Needs a bit of oomph.
Oomph!
It has oomph.
A smidge more oomph never hurt anyone.
Okay. Fine.
But, for the record, i don't think it's necessary.
BRUCE: Let's make magic!
You won't regret it.
[SIGHS]
Okay, fine, you were right.
This once, but don't let it go to your head.
Pew!
Okay, that's a wrap, everybody! Thank you very much!
There is a fro-yo truck out front,
as a thank-you for a great week.
Yeah!
Uh, di-di-di-di- di-di-di-di-di!
I like coffee with the fro-yo.
-Copy that. -All right.
[TEXT CHIMES]
Whoa!
Looks like the agency
teamed us up together again.
A bakery spot in the new year.
At least we have the new year's off.
Any big plans?
Well, actually,
I'm going to a huge new year's Eve party
with my boyfriend, Alex,
and then it's my 30th birthday
the next weekend.
Really? Ouch.
Why? Because it's my 30?
No, i-i meant that,
isn't everybody exhausted and partied out
after the holidays?
Must be hard to get people to come.
It can be...
Which is why I throw the best parties.
It sets the tone for my entire year.
They have to be spectacular, otherwise no one will come.
Define "spectacular."
Hmm.
[TABLET CLICKING]
Uh, here.
21. Penthouse in Vegas.
25. Tropical beach party when it was 10-below-zero outside.
And 28...
We rented out an entire b&b for the weekend.
Hard to beat.
What are you gonna do for your big 3-0?
I'm sure it'll be great.
Mm, yeah, well, you know what?
I don't even want to think about my birthday yet.
New year's is a big enough deal.
Why?
You ask a lot of questions for a guy I barely even know.
Okay, never mind.
It's just... It's an important night for me.
Me too.
I get together with my buddies out in farmingham every year,
and we have a midnight football game.
Basically, whoever doesn't sprain their ankle wins.
[LAUGHS] Well, I will be wearing four-inch heels,
so I guess same goes for me.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, happy new year.
Same to you.
[SIGHS]
Fingers crossed.
MIA: I can go home and get you another dress,
if you don't like this one.
No, Mia, this is perfect,
and this falls under "best friend cone of silence."
You can never let Alex know
that, if it wasn't for your constant guidance,
I would be wearing hoodies and sweatpants all the time.
Well, we all have our thing.
You direct people, i dress them.
So tonight's the night?
Don't jinx it!
I'm not. Alex is well aware of
your whole engaged-by-30 plan.
We all are.
Well, I'm not technically 30 until next week.
It's new year's Eve.
It's showy and dramatic, just like Alex.
Anyway... I'm sure it'll happen at midnight.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
[EXHALES CONTENTEDLY]
[GASPS] No way!
I know, right?
How awesome is this?
Amazing!
I was going for
serious, yet compassionate...
All under an aura of trustworthiness.
Mm. Perfect.
Here, take a pic for my instachat.
Ahem.
All right...
Got it!
-You get it? -Yep.
Oh... Heh-heh-heh.
Ooh...
Wait... Before we go in.
Yes?
You've got just, like, a little smudge
of lipstick on your tooth.
There you go.
You look gorgeous, by the way. Okay?
[TAKING DEEP BREATHS]
In we go.
Alex! Gwen!
Happy new year! Mwah!
I'm glad... You could make it.
I was worried you'd go to the burtons' party.
Oh, now, why would we do that?
They hired a '90's cover band.
Uh, we have to go...
[CHUCKLING]
By the way,
Alex, congratulations
on your coverage of the blizzard last month.
I'm sure you'll win some awards for that.
Well, you know what? It's not about the awards.
I just like helping people.
That's... That's my new ad!
They needed this in time for new year's Eve.
Oh, I'm so glad you're going to see this.
[LAUGHING]
Funny... talented and gorgeous?
How did I ever get so lucky?
I'm the lucky one.
Oh...

Just excuse me for a minute.
Hey!

Let's go on the balcony.

Yeah.
Okay.

Oh, here we go.

Wait, where's the--?
You didn't...
You didn't drink it, did you?
Yeah, I know...
I expected a better vintage, too.
Maybe we should've gone to the burtons' after all.
[CHUCKLES]
You ready to go back in?
I think he's gone.
Who?
This old friend from college.
He's always trying to get me to invest
in his semi-legal pyramid scheme.
I just-- I had to escape, you know?
[EXHALES] Right.
Of course.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?
Hey.
This is going to be
a big year for both of us, Gwen.
We're both going to hit the big time.
Together.
Just like we always planned.
I love you.
Love you, too.
Come on.
[♪♪♪]
I can't believe he didn't do it.
Did he say anything?
Just that this was gonna be a big year for us.
Oh! So that's it.
He's just waiting for your birthday party next week
so all your friends can be there.
You think?
I'm positive.
That's what you said last night.
Did I?
Oh, it's hard to remember. It was technically last year.
[LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
My birthday.
[PUFFS]
Yeah!
Thank you!
What did you wish for?
That we could be done with this
so I can get home and get ready for my party!
Don't worry, I'll help you get ready.
Let's go, let's go! Happy birthday, Gwen.
Thank you, Bruce.
Great spread, by the way.
Well, you know how I like
to immerse myself in the product.
Lucky for us, we had a chain of bakeries this week.
Mm! Mm-mm. Not yet, new guy.
Oh, wait.
Are any of these vegan or gluten-free?
No...
You're the best. You are the best.
[LAUGHS]
[GASPS] Thank you.
Happy birthday.
Impressive flowers.
Liberal use of carnations.
Is there something wrong with carnations?
No! Not if you're a horse just won the preakness.
[SCOFFING CHUCKLE]
And what kind of flowers do you get your girlfriend?
I try to avoid those.
-Flowers? -Girlfriends.
Oh? Well, in that case,
I might have some friends that...
DAVE: I'm gonna stop you right there.
I've had a bit of a bad run.
I'm kind of on a self-imposed dating hiatus.
Bad breakup?
Bought her carnations. Never heard from her again.
Ha, ha.
[CLEARING THROAT]
Excuse me.
A bit of a problem.
The actress doesn't actually
want to eat the cookie.
What? Why?
Does she-- does she have food allergies?
No. She's zero-carb.
Huh.
She has to eat the cookie!
It's the crux of the commercial!
In the commercial, the couple is fighting.
He goes to the bakery and brings her something.
She takes a bite,
and, suddenly, he turns into... A superhero!
She has to eat the cookie!
I will fix this.
[♪♪♪]
Just watch the master at work.
[♪♪♪]
All set.
What'd you do?
I just gave her one of the high-protein cookies.
We have those?
CALLS OUT: How's it going?
[♪♪♪]
Wow. You're evil.
But I checked to see if she had food allergies.
And I prefer "resourceful."
Lock... it... up.

Resourceful. Good.
Yeah, no, that's good.
Oh! Thank you.
It's from Alex.

Can you help me bring these out?
Happy birthday.
Have fun at your party.
Thanks! You can come if you want.
Oh, thanks,
but it's karaoke night with the copywriters.
If I don't get there early,
they will steal my journey song.
"Don't stop believing"?
Oh, no, that's for hacks. I go way deep.
"Patiently." Probably haven't heart of it.
"Infinity" album, 1978.
Wow.
I did not have you pegged for a classic rock person.
Ah, I used to be.
Alex and I don't really go any place that has karaoke.
Ah. Only "opera-oke"?
[AWKWARD CHUCKLE]
See you.
Bye!
MUTTERS: "Opera-oke."
It's funny.
[TEXT ALERT CHIMES]
That's the event planner.
Everything is good to go.
I will meet you guys after dinner with Alex.

Of course it is.
You didn't pick it out, did you?
I might've had just, like, a little bit of help.
What about the flowers?
Uh...
-The bag? -Well...
Did you not pick out anything?
Uh...
Who did?
My intern.
What?
Look, I just wanted to make sure you'd like them!

Okay, yeah, I'm sorry, babe. If you're sick, you're sick.
I'll take you home.

No, you should stay.

You've had that "life to-do" list

My entire world collapsed the year my dad died,

That's why I made all these lists.

I was at dinner around the corner,
with some friends,
and, well, they had
this huge protein-power-cookie on the dessert menu.
I thought it was funny. I got it for you.
I thought you'd still be at your party,
so I was just gonna drop it off with the, uh, storyboard.
Really funny. Thank you.
That's very nice.
Why aren't you at your party?
Are you okay?
Yeah. Great. Best birthday ever.
The, uh, bakery people from the commercial
told me they made you a huge cake.
I bet that was great.
I tried to bribe them
to put a trick candle on it, they wouldn't go for it.
I kind of left before that part.

Yup.
And as somebody who'll be working with you

Okay.

I'm not telling you.

Just something to help you see more clearly.
There's something seriously wrong with those.
And how is your vision now?
It's okay... I guess.

I know!
And... get this!
I had three kids. Three!
I barely even want one.
And... I lived in the suburbs!
Alex and I always said that we would stay in the city
or move to the beach.
Except you weren't married to Alex,
you were married to Dave.
Stop saying that.
Gwen, it's not like
he's some kind of hideous monster.
He's a good-looking guy,
and he's nice to everyone, he's funny...

And try to stop scratching.
Do you know what this means?
Do not say it.

I felt responsible for, you know,
causing this to happen.
I am much better. Thank you.
Good. I, uh, brought you some chicken noodle soup.
I realize soup isn't necessarily helpful
with an allergic reaction,
but, well, I didn't know if we were good enough friends
for me to drop by with a tube of hydrocortisone.
You don't think we're friends?
I'm not sure.
You just brought me hot soup on a cold winter night.
You are in.
Yes!

Uh, well, I should get going.
I'm sure Alex is already taking great care of you.
No. He had a thing.
We had a thing he went to.
I told him to go.
But you wanted him to stay.
Right.
And just because we're officially friends now
doesn't mean you can ask me that.
You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.

We've made plans.
Plans change.
Not mine.
I don't want change.
I don't want surprises.
I need to know what to expect.
Gwen, I understand.
After your dad died,
all you wanted was to feel in control of your future.
But all I wanted was for you
to know you that you can take care of yourself,
even if the unexpected happens.
And you're doing that!
You're smart, you're kind,
you're doing what you love...
Just let the rest unfold in its own time.

I definitely want to talk about that, okay?
But maybe it's better if we did it privately.
We're at a table for two.
Just you and me.
Well, yes, in the middle of
the most popular restaurant in the city.
I'll tell you what.
We'll go to that gallery opening over the weekend,
and we'll go someplace quiet for brunch after,
and then we can talk.
But tonight, right now,
let's just try to have a nice time. Right?
Why wouldn't talking about our future be "nice"?
We've been together for three years.
-Wouldn't you want-- -Gwen.
I know what you're going to say, okay?
And you don't have to worry.
It'll happen.
I'm just...
I'm just waiting for the absolute perfect moment.
I just want to do it right.
We are going to have it all, Gwen.

I am uncomfortable around them.
All of them?
I had a bad experience with them when I was a kid. Why?
We have a dog food ad?
Yep. Agency loves what we're doing.
They want to keep us teamed up indefinitely.
The clients are actually asking for us specifically.
They love us.
It's a good thing, Gwen.
No. No. No, it's not.
I have to text my agent.
You know, I think we could get really creative on this one.
Shoot the whole thing from a dog's perspective.
Uh-huh...
[BLOOP]
Ohh...
Okay, cut!
Joey, don't look into the camera, okay, buddy?
-Sorry! -It's okay!
We should break for lunch.
You want to direct?
Yeah, eventually.
You want some?
No, thank you.
Don't know what you're missing.
I will use my imagination.
Mm!
Speaking of which,
we should meet up at the dog park on Saturday,
brainstorm some ideas.
Can't.
Don't worry. I'll protect you.
[LAUGHS] No, it's not that.
I, um, I have plans.
With Alex.
CASUALLY: ♪ doo-doo-doo... ♪
Hey!
Trust me.
And, for the record, i know you're with...
DRAMATICALLY: "Johnny volcano, weatherman."
I'm not trying to...
I know.
Okay. Good.
"Johnny volcano."
Whoa!
Oh, you got, um...
Can I, um...
Great.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
[EXHALES CONTENTEDLY]
ALEX: It's a metaphor for climate change.
Don't you see it?
It's stunning.
Right. So, like,
the spf is how many years
until the end of the world
as we know it?
Yes!
You're brilliant, babe! You totally get it.
I totally just made that up.
Hey, you know what?
Let's go say hi to our friends from the film society, shall we?
Friends?
We don't-- we don't even know their names.
Well, we will in two minutes.
Oh. What do we have here?
Ahi tuna?
Yes, please. Thank you.
Mm...
Mm!
Now that is so good.
-You want so? -No. No.
Keep them coming, sir.
Thank you, sir.
I'm starving,
and I won't have time to eat before work, so--
I thought we were going to lunch after this.
To talk.
Oh, Gwen...
I'm so sorry, i thought I told you.
I'm subbing in as anchor this afternoon!
Wow! That's... No. You didn't.
That's really great news.
I know, right?
Oh, can you dvr it for me,
so we can add it to my reel?
Sure.
Oh, you know what?
I should actually get going to the studio,
so-- love you.
Mwah! Wish me luck.
[SIGHS] Good luck.
And how can I help you today?
I just really want to check my vision again
in the-- in the machine.
Okey-dokey.
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
Everything looks good.
Let's try this.
Cover your right eye and read the chart
from left to right.
[WORDS CATCH]
Doctor,
I'm sorry, is there any way that there might be
a carbon-monoxide leak in the office or something?
Of course not. Why do you ask?
No reason.
I'm gonna go.
Okay. Ready? Ready?
Oh, good! Good boy!
...MACADAMIA NUTS.
Go play!
[DOG BARKING]
Hey!
Is that... Your dog?
Oh, yeah, that's, uh, that's Max.
Didn't expect to see you here.
Oh, I didn't-- i didn't come on purpose.
I was just walking by.
Coincidence.
Personally, I don't believe in coincidences.
I think everything happens for a reason.
Well, I believe
that we have control over things that happen.
You make a plan, and then you do it.
Okay.
Well, I figured you might want to see the dogs,
figure out the best way to shoot them.
In there? No.
Okay, what gives?
Why are you so nervous around dogs?
When I was a kid, i got bitten.
It's a good reason, right?
I'm sorry. Was it bad?
Bad enough for me to be nervous about them now.
I know dogs are great, everybody loves dogs, but...
It's my thing.
It's a weird thing, everybody has one.
No, not me. I'm-I'm perfect.
Oh, come on.
Okay.
I, uh...
I have a fear of getting sick from eating street food.
When I was ten, i had a taco.
It was a very bad night.
Okay, but what are the chances that that is gonna happen again?
I could say the same thing to you.
Oh...
Maybe it's time to take a risk.
Make some changes.
I'm not big on change.
Try it. Who knows?
You might even be happier.
Come on!
Yeah, I'm not ready.
Mm-mm.
Okay.
Sure thing.
Bye!
Nice.

[CHIMES]
[PHONE RINGS]
Uh, answer phone.
Hello?
Gwen, it's Mia. Do you still have that minivan?
I DO,
but before you make fun of me,
this isn't about the "vision" thing."
It's about the heated seats.
And the onboard Wi-Fi.
And the new-car smell.
Noted.
Why? Why do you ask?
BECAUSE I KIND OF NEED A HUGE FAVOR.
I was supposed to drop off my nieces and nephew
at school this morning, because my sister's sick,
but my car just broke down.
You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't an emergency.
No, I'll be right there.
THANK YOU.
Gwen, these are my nieces maddy and Lilly,
and my nephew, Ellis. Can you say "hi," guys?
TOGETHER: Hi, guys.
Very funny. This is my very best friend, Gwen.
She's helping us this morning. Be nice.
It's only a ten-minute drive.
Do you hate me for doing this to you?
No, really, it's fine. Their school's on the way.
Thank you, Gwen.
-[PHONE RINGING] -Answer phone. Hello?
Hey, Gwen, it's Dave.
Listen, my engine froze over last night.
I can't get it started.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN GIVE ME A RIDE?
I would, but I'm all the way over on pine right now.
Oh, pine? Perfect! I live right around the corner.
Yeah. Perfect.

Gwen, there is no wardrobe. They're dogs.
Then I'm gonna check on the lighting.
Gwen... [SIGHS]
[♪♪♪]
Okay, here we are.
What is this?
Well, did you know
the trainer doesn't just do film and television?
He also works with therapy dogs,
and when they're puppies,
they need to start to learn to be gentle around people.
So where are you going with this?
Well, it turns out
that some of the puppies are here today.
No.
-Come on. Come on. Come on. -Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
It's just one little puppy.
I'll be with you the whole time.

Is he going to bite me?
No, no, no, no. He's just--
he's just teething,

Ah! Oh!
[LAUGHS] Oh!
That's not so bad!
No!
Oh, I thought that would be so much worse!
Oh. Hi! Oh-ho-ho.
[CHUCKLING]
Hi.
Hey, you're just a little guy.
You don't bite hard.
You're just teething. That's not so bad!
Oh...

[♪♪♪]
What's going on with you two?
Nothing.
HUH, WELL, THAT NOTHING IS REALLY SOMETHING.
MUTTERS, TO SELF: Gwen, what are you doing?
MIA: Are you okay? You sounded upset.
Did something happen with Alex?
No.
I think I might...
Have feelings for Dave.
Oh! Oh, my gosh! That's great!
No, it's not!
I-i have a boyfriend.
I thought you were rooting for us!
It doesn't matter what I think.
But I see you and Dave together,
and I don't know!
Does that vision you saw really seem so far-fetched now?
Mia, I can't throw away the future that I planned
because of vision i saw at the eye doctor.
I mean, it's probably all just a coincidence,
and this isn't fair to Alex.
He has done nothing wrong.
But that doesn't mean the two of you are right.
Well, maybe I can't give my all to Alex
because I'm spending too much time with Dave.
Well, you guys work together.
There's nothing you can do about that.
[♪♪♪]
What did you do?
Nothing!
I may have recommended Dave for a directing gig next week,
but it's no big deal.
You got him a new job just to get him away from you?
No.
No! I want to help him.
He told me that he wanted to start directing,
so I just made a couple of calls.
And i-it's j-just for the week.
Now this will give me more time to breathe
and look at things objectively.
Wow.
I never thought I'd see Gwen Turner so scared.
Of what?
The truth?
Change?
Your heart?
Director's choice.
[♪♪♪]
Cut!
[SHOT BELL RINGS]
C-cut.
[SCOFFS] I said that already.
That's not your job. What's the problem?
The lights are too bright.
It's an infomercial.
The light has to be bright
it will be airing in the middle of the night
and we want people to stay awake.
The model has been complaining about the heat on set.
Tch!
Okay, are you trying to film a commercial
or get a date to the prom?
Maybe we should've hired a male director,
'CAUSE HE WOULD GET THAT WE'RE NOT SELLING THE SHAKE,
we're selling the body that you get from the shake.
[ASTONISHED CHUCKLE]
Okay, I'm sorry,
did you just time-travel from an ad agency from 1961?
[SCOFFS]
What're you doing?
I'm texting the agency to let them know
that if they ever put me on another one of your accounts,
I will never work for them again.
[SCOFFS]
He's no Dave.
[MOCKS SCOFFING]
I know, I know.
[♪♪♪]
Mm!
This is incredible, babe.
What's the occasion?
Nothing. I just figured
since we haven't spent a lot of time with each other
in a while,
uh, why not go all out?
Mm-hmm.
Mm...
Mm!
Hey! Why don't we go to Vermont for the weekend?
I have an audition.
For w-- for what?
An anchor job, of course.
And then if you get this job, then what?
It's "L.A., here we come."
Alex, you know that i won't move to L.A. with you
unless we're more...
...fully committed.
Okay, well, you know what?
I don't have the job yet,
so why worry about something that hasn't even happened?
I didn't even know
that you were worried about it at all.
Babe! L.A. is our vision.
Together! Right?
Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you behind.
I promise.

Yes!
Yay. It's a date.
So, how's Alex doing in L.A.?
He's been really busy.
I really haven't talked to him at all.
Um, I'll let you go. Call me tomorrow?
You got it.

[KEYS CLACKING]
Oh, that's perfect!

Gwen!
Dave?
Thought that was you!
[LAUGHS] What are you doing here?
Well, what else would an aspiring director
BE DOING ON SATURDAY THAN SEEING HIS GIRL FRIDAY?
Well, you're not "aspiring" anymore.
How was this week?
They, uh, they actually want to hire me again.
I'm not surprised. That's great, Dave.
You're happy for me?
Of course! Why wouldn't I be?
I want to ask you something,
because, if I don't, it's just, it's gonna eat at me.
Did you get me that directing job
so that you could get rid of me?
How did you know that I helped you get it?
Someone at the agency mentioned it,
but you didn't answer the question.
I just thought that it would be a great opportunity for you.
So you did it for my future?
Mm-hmm.
The thing is, I always...
Saw my future with you.
Professionally speaking.
Did you think that I meant--
no! No. [CHUCKLES DISMISSIVELY]
Of course not.
Are you sure?
Why? Is... Is that what you meant?
Would it be okay if it was?
I can't answer that.
Then it isn't what I meant.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
[BLOWS AIR]
[♪♪♪]
Hey!
Why didn't you text me back last night?
Or at all during the day?
I was worried.

CAN YOU DO A QUICK EDIT OF MY REEL TODAY?
I NEED YOU TO FIND THAT STORY I DID ON THE BRUSH FIRE
AND ADD IT THE "WEATHER 9-1-1" PART,

Well, I'm supposed to go shopping with Mia.
Why can't you do it? You know how.

We just didn't figure it was your style.

We'll stay.

I mean, I thought maybe, but I wasn't sure.
That isn't helping anything, Mia.
Just have fun.
It's not a date or anything.
Wow. I never thought that I'd see you
at a place like this.
If it's awkward, i can go.
No! No. Why would it be?
I don't know.
It's not. Never mind.

And you know,
since I'm so in demand as a director now,
I'm not sure when we'll be back working together, so...
Any chance we can play trivia together again?

Seriously?
Why not?
I mean, you can direct commercials out there,
and then start making connections with the studios.
It's what we always talked about, right?
Not... not exactly, Alex.
I mean, i don't really even know
if my dream is to direct big-budget movies anymore.
Maybe I want to make documentaries.
You know, really make a change in the world.
You don't-- you don't need to be in L.A. for that.
Documentaries?
Gwennie...
Those don't make any money.
Alex, that's not the point.
Then what is the point?
Are you saying you don't want to move to L.A. anymore?
L.A. isn't the problem, Alex.
We are.
Okay, you know what?
Don't say another word.
I know what this is about.
I know what you want.
[♪♪♪]
Wait one second.
[♪♪♪]
[EXHALES DEEPLY]
What's that?
It's not a diamond, but it'll have to do for now.
Gwen, sweetie...
Will you marry me?
[♪♪♪]
[CHUCKLING]
[SMACK]
What are you doing?
Alex, I didn't
say yes.
Uh, why wouldn't you?
I don't want to marry you.
Uh...
Yes, you do.
That's all you ever talk about.
I am so sorry if I ever pressured you.
I think that i just couldn't admit to myself
that it was over.
We just don't want the same things anymore.
[BAFFLED CHUCKLE]
So you're actually saying no?
What am I supposed to do right now?
You know, a wise woman just told me
that everyone should follow their own path.
What?
I have to go.
Where?
To follow mine.
Hey!
Do you guys know where Dave went?
He left.
He seemed very upset.
Why would you get engaged to someone else?
He saw Alex propose?
I said no!
Didn't he see me say no?
[DIALING]
Come on, Dave.
Pick up your phone. Come on.
[TEXT ALERT CHIMES]
[♪♪♪]
Hey!
I was shopping for the shoot.
I got up here as soon as I could.
Are you okay?
TEARFULLY: Not even a little.
[SNIFFLING]
Resort 5, take 4. Mark!
[♪♪♪]
Ahem.
Oh. Sorry. Um...
Action!
ACTORS: Hey!
Cheese!
Resort 5, take 5. Mark!
Oh, we got it.
That's a wrap!
Tail lights in an hour.
No o.T.
[♪♪♪]
Gwen! You forgot this.
He blocked my texts and my calls.
He doesn't even really know what happened.
It's okay. You'll find him.
Yeah.
Yes!
Hey! Bruce!
Hey.
Have you seen Dave?
You just missed him.
Do you know where he went?
No, I wish I knew. He definitely wasn't himself.
[SIGHS]
I got to go.
[♪♪♪]
Hey.
Hi!
Sorry, I thought you were someone else.
I could be!
[♪♪♪]
Dave!
SHOUTS LOUDER: Dave!
Uh...
NERVOUSLY: Ohh...
Ugh!
[CRINGING]
Get away from me!
-[YAPPING AND BARKING] -Ah, get down.
No, no.
Hey. Ahh.
Hey.
Hey, guys, can you give us a moment?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Little different from puppies.
What are you doing here, Gwen?
I wanted to tell you.
What?
What could you possibly have to say to me?
You got engaged to the wrong guy.
I know it, you know it.
I can't believe you said yes.
But Dave, that's what I've been trying to tell you!
I said no.
But I saw him put a ring on your finger.
And then what happened?
I don't know.
I couldn't stick around to watch it.
I told him that it was over.
Wow.
I kinda wish I'd stuck around to watch that.
What made you change your mind?
When I finally realized
that planning my whole life out didn't make me any happier.
You know, when I was with Alex,
I always felt like we were putting on a show.
You know, "the perfect couple."
But...
When I'm with you, I'm just me.
I'm happy.
When I saw Alex propose to you...
I thought every vision I had for my future was over.
If you're saying we have a chance...
What I'm saying...
Is that I'm falling in love with you.
When I'm with you, i feel safe,
and I know this is where I belong.
It's just, I don't know why it took so long to realize it.
Yeah.
It felt like an eternity,
because I fell for you the first time I saw you on set.
You're brilliant.
You're beautiful.
I've been waiting my whole life for you.
[♪♪♪]
Ooh... yes.
BOTH: Oh!
Yeah.
Oh, baby. Hi.
Yeah!
Oh! Hello.
Hello.
ALL: ♪ happy birthday to you ♪
♪ happy birthday to you ♪
♪ happy birthday, dear Gwen ♪

[PUFFS]
[♪♪♪]
Will you marry me?
Yes!
[ALL LAUGHING]
Oh!
Yes, yes?
[BARKING]
I love you.
[♪♪♪]
So, basically, what you're saying
is daddy tried to kill you with macadamia nuts?
GWEN: No, silly, I said he didn't know I was allergic.
Or did he?
I know.
I love you.
I love you, too.
