That's definitely so important, like,

'cause for me, I think I feed
really hard off, like, people's energy.

consider myself, like, an empath.

00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:13,182
[Paul] Your name?
165
00:07:13,182 --> 00:07:14,892
- [Micah] Micah.
- Paul. Nice to meet you.
166
00:07:14,892 --> 00:07:17,687
{\an8}- [Micah] That's my dad's name.
- Ooh, my dad's name too! [laughs]
167
00:07:17,687 --> 00:07:18,813
So, you're, like, Paul Jr.?
168
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:21,732
Uh, no, 'cause my grandfather
is also Paul. [laughs]
169
00:07:21,732 --> 00:07:23,234
What does that make you, Paul III?
170
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:25,319
- I guess so, technically, yeah.
- [both laugh]
171
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,030
- [Paul] So I'm an environmental scientist.
- That's so cool.
172
00:07:28,030 --> 00:07:30,324
What's your favorite place
that you've been?
173
00:07:30,324 --> 00:07:31,409
Probably Italy.
174
00:07:31,409 --> 00:07:33,578
My favorite place in the world
is Positano.
175
00:07:33,578 --> 00:07:35,079
[Paul] Listen, when we get married...
176
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:36,080
[laughs]
177
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,416
[Paul] That's reason for us to go back.
How's that?
178
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:40,543
That sounds like a perfect idea.
179
00:07:40,543 --> 00:07:42,128
[Paul] You have such a sultry voice.
180
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:44,213
It's, like,
actually hard to pay attention.
181
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,048
Your voice just kind of, like,
182
00:07:46,048 --> 00:07:47,758
I don't know, tickles my brain.
183
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,093
- It's weird.
- [both laugh]
184
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:51,637
{\an8}As a scientist
and a more analytical person,
185
00:07:51,637 --> 00:07:56,559
{\an8}I expected to see flaws
and holes in the experiment,
186
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:59,812
and it's surprisingly sound.
187
00:07:59,812 --> 00:08:02,231
It's as if placing a boundary
188
00:08:02,231 --> 00:08:05,651
in between people
has actually removed a boundary.

207
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:47,860
I used to live down in Sydney, Australia.

- I'm an environmental scientist, so...
- Okay.
211
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:58,079
[Paul] I was doing
biological oceanography.
212
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:00,039
- I was studying sharks down there.
- Okay.

Okay, you are quite the adventurer.
214
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:06,087
My family thinks I'm crazy,
but I'm absolutely in love with Italy.

It's pretty obvious,
I think to me, the connection there.

I ask myself this every day. [laughs]
223
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:28,776
Modern dating is exhausting.
224
00:09:28,776 --> 00:09:31,445
Just 'cause you're picking people
based on what they look like,
225
00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:34,907
and that's such a small fraction
of, like, what makes a person.
226
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:38,202
You know, my looks should be
the least interesting thing about me.

Have you thought about
what you would do for your dream wedding?

{\an8}- Ever thought about a wedding and stuff?
- Oh, God, no.

[Amber chuckles] Yeah,
so I've been married twice.

00:09:52,216 --> 00:09:53,259
- Wait. Really?
- Yeah.
233
00:09:53,259 --> 00:09:54,594
People are pretty shocked.
234
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:57,722
They're like,
"Oh, you've been married twice?"

00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,765
Like, yeah. [whimpers]
236
00:10:00,808 --> 00:10:03,311
I was just so not appreciated,
237
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:06,314
and I don't ever wanna get
to that point again.
238

You know, I don't wanna
have to burn myself out loving somebody,
239

just getting scraps in return.
I don't want a repeat of that.
240

So, I put time and effort
into thinking about what I want

you're gonna get until you get in there.

a little too strong."

just know that they want to be married.

So, my mother, uh, was a single mom.
390
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:54,722
I moved from place to place
throughout most of my childhood,
391
00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:58,142
um, and my mother was a stripper.
392
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:03,230
Uh, and she did that
to make sure that I had food.
393
00:17:05,357 --> 00:17:08,569
Like, I can remember being a kid,
394
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:12,698
going through the drive-through,
and my mom not having enough money
395
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:16,243
to buy me a meal, and...
her breaking down into tears and...
396
00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:19,163
Well, she was an amazing woman,
397
00:17:19,163 --> 00:17:21,874
and, uh, she, uh...
398
00:17:23,292 --> 00:17:24,501
She died.
399
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:29,590
After my mom died, I'd been on autopilot.

to pass the bar, get through law school,

and I was slowly dying inside.

do honor to my mother's memory
403
00:17:43,604 --> 00:17:45,189

404

I want my life to be
about serving other people,
408
00:17:56,241 --> 00:17:59,745

I wanted a wife, kids, and a family,

who shares that view.

Like, even though we had no money,
413
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:16,220
my parents did everything in their power
to, like, give us all the memories.
414
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,806
There were Christmases
where there was nothing under the tree,
415
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:20,516
and it was such a normal thing,
416
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:24,394
but my parents wanted
a better life for us than they had.
417
00:18:24,394 --> 00:18:27,648
My dad always told me, like, "I want you
to be able to have your own opportunities
418
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:29,441
you wouldn't be able to have in Russia,"
419
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:31,318

take anything for granted.

Go ahead, I'm listening. I'm sorry.
485
00:21:34,251 --> 00:21:37,379
When I was 16,
my mother, she dedicated that song to me.
486
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:40,507
She made me sit down and listen to it.
487
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:44,428
And so, I actually memorized it.
I can sing it from memory.
488
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,138
I can sing it too.
489
00:21:47,264 --> 00:21:49,725
You can sing "I Hope You Dance"
from memory?
490
00:21:49,725 --> 00:21:52,394
That's my mom's song for me.
Like, how could I not?
491
00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:54,062
Bliss, how weird is that?
492
00:21:54,062 --> 00:21:57,649
My mom, I want her to,
like, have a dance with me, like,
493
00:21:57,649 --> 00:22:00,527
at my wedding because she,
like... [shudders]
494
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:03,238
...is my rock, you know, and, like,
495
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:05,949
I wanna honor her
as much as I honor my dad.
496
00:22:08,785 --> 00:22:10,412
Sorry, I'm crying. [chuckles]
497
00:22:11,455 --> 00:22:12,914
What the fuck is happening?
498
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:15,000
I don't know.
499
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,626
I... [laughing]
500
00:22:16,626 --> 00:22:18,003
[Bliss] My heart is racing.
501
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:20,547
Wow. A magnet for serendipity.
502
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:22,841
That's a good affirmation.
503
00:22:24,676 --> 00:22:26,636
- Have sweet dreams.
- You too.
504
00:22:34,311 --> 00:22:35,604
[whispers] What the fuck?
505
00:22:36,188 --> 00:22:39,107
I need a hug. Can someone hug me?
506
00:22:39,107 --> 00:22:41,193
- [gasps] Mama!
- Why? Are you happy?
507
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:43,445
Like, yeah, it's like my heart is racing.
508
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:45,739
Dude, you're not gonna believe this shit.
509
00:22:46,907 --> 00:22:48,658
Or maybe this is your person.
510
00:22:48,658 --> 00:22:51,870
- Yeah, I'm excited.
- [Bliss] In a crazy, mind-blowing way.
511
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:57,084
[lights clicking]
512
00:22:57,751 --> 00:23:01,296
{\an8}- [grunts]
- I love that we're different characters.
513
00:23:01,296 --> 00:23:03,590
[laughs] It's like-- it's like--
514
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:05,550
- It's definitely Billy. [laughs]
- [man] Yeah.
515
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:08,845
{\an8}[both] One, two. One, two, three.
516
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,347
[Monica] Do we have Chef Jackie?
517
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:11,807
[laughing]
518
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,310
How do you feel about,
like, PDA and stuff?
519
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:19,272
{\an8}I literally will have sex
with my wife in public. [laughs]
520
00:23:19,272 --> 00:23:20,482
[chuckles]
521
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:22,150
- I'm down if you're down.
- [laughs]
522
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:25,862
{\an8}The experiment starts
by dating a ton of different people
523
00:23:25,862 --> 00:23:28,698
People that you never would have
normally spoken to.
524
00:23:28,698 --> 00:23:31,076
When you're in the pods,
you can play games together.
525
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:33,495
[Josh] I made it.
526
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:36,832
{\an8}Oh! Yes! [laughs]
527
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:40,001
You can draw together.
You can listen to music.
528
00:23:40,001 --> 00:23:42,170
- I freakin' love this song.
- [dance music playing]
529
00:23:42,170 --> 00:23:43,672
♪ Love is the answer! ♪
530
00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:47,509
[Micah] We're here 24 hours a day
spending all of our time
531
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:50,011
focusing on finding love.
532
00:23:50,011 --> 00:23:52,055
- ♪ Love is the answer! ♪
- Ooh, I don't like this.
533
00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:53,390
{\an8}Do it. You love me.
534
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:56,560
{\an8}- Just do it.
- Oh! It's getting gooey over here.
535
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,727
This is true love.
536
00:23:57,727 --> 00:24:01,273
I think people are starting to develop
really deep connections with people,
537
00:24:01,273 --> 00:24:04,276
and I have two connections
that I'm really excited about.
538
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:05,277
Kwame and Paul.
539
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:07,904
{\an8}- I really wanna, like, lift you up.
- [Micah laughs]
540
00:24:07,904 --> 00:24:10,157
- Spin me around?
- [Paul] No, just--
541
00:24:10,157 --> 00:24:11,158
Damn. [laughs]
542
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:14,161
[chuckles] Suplex you. Um...
543
00:24:14,161 --> 00:24:16,288
- Right into the pavement.
- [Paul] Yeah.
544
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,123
Drop an elbow. No, I wanna pick you up,
545
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:22,377
and have you put your legs around me
and, uh, just kind of,
546
00:24:22,377 --> 00:24:23,587
you know, make out.
547
00:24:24,087 --> 00:24:25,797
Wow, that sounds so nice.
548
00:24:25,797 --> 00:24:27,090
[Paul] It does sound nice.
549
00:24:27,090 --> 00:24:30,343
[laughing] Paul literally popped out
of nowhere.
550
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:33,722
I remember, you know,
when we first started talking...
551
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:36,725
[laughing] ...I would always be like,
"Oh, great, it's you over there, Paul."
552
00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:39,227
Like, kind of giving him a hard time,
553
00:24:39,227 --> 00:24:43,482
but now he's the person that I, like,
look forward to being on the other side.
554
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:45,901
I just don't know
how it happened. [laughs]
555
00:24:45,901 --> 00:24:49,029
What do you think our life
would look like, like, if we got married?
556
00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:51,656
{\an8}Do I need to say that in one word,
or can I give you sentences?
557
00:24:51,656 --> 00:24:52,657
A couple sentences.
558
00:24:52,657 --> 00:24:54,951
[Kwame] Gonna start with one word
and I'll lead to that.
559
00:24:54,951 --> 00:24:56,828
- [Micah] Okay.
- Fireworks.
560
00:24:56,828 --> 00:24:57,746
[chuckles]
561
00:24:57,746 --> 00:25:01,750
I think there's just gonna be
an overwhelming amount of joy.
562
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:05,837
- Joy, love, and support. Security.
- Mm-hmm.
563
00:25:07,088 --> 00:25:09,216
- That's security.
- [Kwame] Um, yeah.
564
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:11,218
You give me that over anyone
I've ever met.
565
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:12,969
- [Kwame] Yeah?
- Yeah.
566
00:25:14,095 --> 00:25:15,347
Love that.
567
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:18,099
- [laughing]
- Like, I know you so, so well.
568
00:25:18,099 --> 00:25:21,728
I don't even-- I don't even have an idea
of, like, what you're like to, like, hug.
569
00:25:21,728 --> 00:25:24,189
[laughs] I know.
570
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:27,234
But when I'm with Kwame,
he validates my feelings.
571
00:25:27,234 --> 00:25:28,735
He calms me.
572
00:25:28,735 --> 00:25:31,571
Like, I hear his deep voice. [chuckles]
573
00:25:31,571 --> 00:25:34,074
And it, like,
brings me back, like, down to earth.
574
00:25:34,074 --> 00:25:36,284
He is so, like, high-caliber
575
00:25:36,284 --> 00:25:39,412
and such a great person,
and I feel like I've never given,
576
00:25:39,412 --> 00:25:43,124
like, the nice guy,
like, a chance, you know.
577
00:25:43,124 --> 00:25:46,127
And I feel like I'm finally
in the position where, you know,
578
00:25:46,127 --> 00:25:49,297
the nice guy's right in front of me,
and I'm actually going for it.
579
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:50,632
They're just really different.
580
00:25:50,632 --> 00:25:53,718
And I literally have no idea

[Tiffany] Excited to see you again.
592
00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:21,162
I actually got heels on today,
because I'm feeling sexy, so...
593

- [Brett] Ooh! What else are you wearing?
- Yeah.

- I am wearing a teal, emerald green dress.
595
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:31,673
{\an8}I'm wearing a shirt right now
that I would consider the same color.
596
00:26:33,383 --> 00:26:36,511
Yeah, it's like a teal green-blue.
597
00:26:36,511 --> 00:26:37,887
No fucking way.
598
00:26:39,264 --> 00:26:40,682
- Yeah.
- [Tiffany laughing]
599
00:26:40,682 --> 00:26:42,726
Like, did we wake up
and put on the same colors?
600
00:26:42,726 --> 00:26:43,768
Like, "Oh, my gosh."
601
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:46,730
- "This experiment is working." [laughs]
- [Tiffany] Yes, right?
602
00:26:46,730 --> 00:26:50,358
[Brett] So, one thing coming in here
that I was thinking about is
603
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:52,527
I kind of wanna, like, hear your story.
604
00:26:53,028 --> 00:26:59,034
Yeah. So, where I work,
out of more than 1,000 people,
605
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:04,873
I was the top recruiting and salesperson
for three months straight.
606
00:27:05,373 --> 00:27:08,126
When it comes to doing something that
607
00:27:09,502 --> 00:27:13,715
people think a woman can't do,
I'm the type of person that's like,
608
00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:14,841
"I'm gonna show you."
609
00:27:17,135 --> 00:27:20,847
When it came to band, um, I was told that,
610
00:27:20,847 --> 00:27:24,267
"Hey, you know, your lips are perfect
to play flute." [exhales]
611
00:27:24,267 --> 00:27:26,519
And I saw a flute as,
like, this girly instrument.
612
00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:28,980
- And I really wanted to play drums.
- Mm-hmm.
613
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:32,651
So, who was gonna be put on the drum line?
614
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:35,403
I was. [laughs]
615
00:27:36,237 --> 00:27:42,077
And so, my senior year, we were the best
freaking band in the nation. [laughs]
616
00:27:42,702 --> 00:27:45,997
[Brett] The satisfaction that you get
from people doubting you...
617
00:27:45,997 --> 00:27:47,540
- [Tiffany] Yeah.
- Like, I love that.
618
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:52,379
Because I think
I have a similar mentality,
619
00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:55,090
and maybe my fifth- or sixth-grade year,
620
00:27:55,090 --> 00:27:57,384
I just started to notice,
like, my family situation
621
00:27:57,384 --> 00:28:00,053
just to start to,
like, gradually decrease. Like...
622
00:28:01,054 --> 00:28:03,431
One week, our power was cut off.
623
00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:05,016
Our-- Our water was cut off.
624
00:28:05,767 --> 00:28:08,395
We lived for, like,
a week or two with candles.
625
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:11,022
Friends wanting to come over,
626
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:14,234
and me and my brother are like,
"No, no, no. Like, you can't come inside."
627
00:28:14,234 --> 00:28:16,152
We didn't want them
to come and see... [chuckles]
628
00:28:16,820 --> 00:28:18,738
...we literally don't have electricity.
629
00:28:20,907 --> 00:28:24,786
It kind of turned me into, like,
a really quiet super-introverted kid.
630
00:28:24,786 --> 00:28:26,705
I didn't really have
any friends in high school.
631
00:28:27,288 --> 00:28:30,583
Um, didn't really do anything
other than draw.
632
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,753
I started designing shoes for fun.
633
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:35,463
I made an Instagram page.
634
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:37,799
- And started posting my work up.
- [Tiffany] Uh-huh.
635
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,428
[Brett] I got a DM.
That DM led into a job opportunity,
636
00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:45,557
and then I was there for a year
before a recruiter from Nike hit me up.
637
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:46,975
Then in three years... [chuckles]
638
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:50,019
...I've gone from no footwear industry
639
00:28:50,019 --> 00:28:53,732
to a director, come on, at the biggest
footwear company in the world.
640
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,442
And I don't have a college degree.
641
00:28:55,442 --> 00:28:57,193
- So...
- [Tiffany] Congrats.
642
00:28:57,777 --> 00:29:01,114
Boy, I've never met anybody like you.
643
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:06,578
[sighs]
644
00:29:07,328 --> 00:29:08,955
You're an amazing person.
645
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:16,254
{\an8}I don't think I would have dated
somebody like Brett in the outside
646
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:17,714
{\an8}or real world.

00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:17,193
If I was to write down
the perfect girl for me
809
00:37:17,985 --> 00:37:20,905
before I even showed up
to this experiment,
810
00:37:22,114 --> 00:37:23,074
it would be you.
811
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:27,578
So, her ascension
has kind of been... [sighs]
812
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:29,121
...a conundrum to me.
813
00:37:29,121 --> 00:37:33,584
I actually didn't think
we would make it until, like, day three.
814
00:37:34,085 --> 00:37:38,214
The one thing that just
keeps popping up about her--
815
00:37:38,214 --> 00:37:40,633
Is it that she validates you
more than I do?
816
00:37:42,051 --> 00:37:44,971
And reciprocates feelings more vocally?
817
00:37:44,971 --> 00:37:47,890
Yes. Point-blank, period.
818
00:37:51,686 --> 00:37:53,813
[Micah] Like, nothing good is, like, easy.
819
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,357
When it comes
to something that's this big,
820
00:37:56,357 --> 00:38:01,445
I hope that you decide
to follow your heart,
821
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:05,324
not the part of your brain
that tells you to
822
00:38:06,742 --> 00:38:08,536
take what will feel good now.
823
00:38:08,536 --> 00:38:10,955
So, then I'll ask you
straightforward, then.
824
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:16,210
Do you feel like we have something
that would last, and that would...
825
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:19,714
that could stand the test?
826
00:38:21,841 --> 00:38:23,926
Because I feel so strongly for you,
827
00:38:23,926 --> 00:38:27,138
and I can picture our life so well,
828
00:38:27,138 --> 00:38:31,350
I can see a future with you.
829
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:35,313
One-hundred percent,
I can see a future with you.
830
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:38,065
[Kwame] You have me,
like, walking on sunshine.

- [Kwame] You know?
839
00:38:57,793 --> 00:39:00,129
I know. [chuckles, sniffles]
840
00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:04,258
[Kwame] But, like, I-- I feel like
I'm so sure about you, you know.
841
00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:05,801
Yeah.
842

00:39:37,124 --> 00:39:40,961
Obviously, I love to hear, like, that,
and it makes me feel so good.
851
00:39:40,961 --> 00:39:43,297
I wanna know, like,
why you feel like that.
852
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,092
I've just been smitten
for a really long time.
853
00:39:46,717 --> 00:39:50,513
I say really long. It's fucking six days.
Wow, like... [chuckles]
854
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:52,598
- [Micah] Feels like a long time.
- Yeah.
855
00:39:52,598 --> 00:39:56,477
Everything that you want
and everything that you are embodying,
856
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:58,479
those things are, like, what...
857
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,817
what I, like, always envisioned.
858
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:07,279
I find myself just waiting all day
just to talk to you.
859
00:40:11,992 --> 00:40:14,620
I think the reason why
I've been holding back is because,
860
00:40:14,620 --> 00:40:18,833
the other person that I'm talking to
has been, like, a slow burn.
861
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:24,004
And it hasn't had--
It's not even on our level at all.
862
00:40:24,004 --> 00:40:25,423
I mean, it's not comparable,
863
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:29,343
and my fear would be later on
there's still what-ifs
864
00:40:29,343 --> 00:40:32,096
'cause I didn't uncover every stone.
865
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:36,642
And you don't deserve
to not have, like, your person know,
866
00:40:36,642 --> 00:40:38,519
without a shadow of a doubt.
867
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:43,482
Because I think that you're just,
like, a really incredible person,
868
00:40:43,482 --> 00:40:45,151
and you deserve everything.
869
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:50,448
Yeah, this is really hard.
870
00:40:50,948 --> 00:40:54,785
It is not fair to you
to tell you to cut any connection.
871
00:40:54,785 --> 00:40:56,787
Like, who am I to do that?
872
00:40:56,787 --> 00:40:59,457
Like, if I... if I'm doing that now,
873

in the preliminary stages
of our relationship,
874

of your life at any point, you know.

[Micah] That's, like,
such a great point, actually.

Like, I want this to stay between us.
877
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:15,764
- But I really am, like, falling for you.
- Yeah.
878
00:41:16,432 --> 00:41:18,642
[Micah] And, like,
I haven't said that to anyone else.
879
00:41:21,729 --> 00:41:22,563
Yeah.
880
00:41:23,314 --> 00:41:25,024
So you better
not go falling for anyone else.

But I'm not willing to give it to him.

to know. You know, what's the rush?

What's the rush, babe?
903
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:23,374

"It's the only validation I'm getting.
I'm not getting any from you." [laughing]

like, why am I expending an effort on Paul

if we can't get as deep as this?
913

Or me and Paul are just not deep,
and that's fine.

wanna pick Paul out of nowhere?

day after day.

even though his family's not perfect.

{\an8}pour into him.
931
00:43:42,369 --> 00:43:44,288
- [Ava] 'Cause you love him.
- Yeah, it's weird.

really strong feelings for Tiffany,

and it just-- it scares me.

- [Brett] Mm.

[Marshall] Can't let that
dictate your future.

you gotta take that leap.

[Brett] Mm-hmm.
942
00:44:08,771 --> 00:44:11,649
{\an8}- And just hold them tight.
- Hmm.
943
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:13,233
{\an8}- Never let 'em go.
- Hmm.
944
00:44:13,233 --> 00:44:16,612
Love hurts,
but you can't let that stop you
945
00:44:17,279 --> 00:44:18,697
from what you deserve.
946
00:44:19,406 --> 00:44:21,950
- She's here. She's on the other side.
- Hmm.
947
00:44:22,826 --> 00:44:25,412
Take the leap, bro. Take the leap.
948
00:44:25,412 --> 00:44:28,749
[gasps] Oh, my goodness!
949
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:33,587
You know, Brett, there's times
when I just picture you in my head.
950
00:44:35,005 --> 00:44:37,257
I picture seeing you for the first time.
951
00:44:37,257 --> 00:44:40,260
I picture, like, hugging you so tight,
952
00:44:40,260 --> 00:44:45,015
and I just cannot wait to just hug you,
953
00:44:45,641 --> 00:44:48,769
and see you. Oh!
954
00:44:49,812 --> 00:44:52,189
- [Brett] You're seducing me, Tiffany.
- Am I?
955
00:44:52,189 --> 00:44:54,483
- [Brett] No, I'm joking.
- [both laugh]
956
00:44:54,483 --> 00:44:56,485
You seem like such a,
957
00:44:57,277 --> 00:45:00,656
like, understanding and nurturing
and loving person.
958
00:45:01,156 --> 00:45:02,408
The more I talk to you,
959
00:45:02,408 --> 00:45:06,036
I can feel your level
of comfort in talking to me.
960
00:45:06,036 --> 00:45:10,624
I feel so comfortable with you,
'cause I feel like you fully see who I am
961
00:45:10,624 --> 00:45:12,209
and accept me for me.
962
00:45:14,336 --> 00:45:18,090
And I don't think I've talked much
about my oldest brother.
963
00:45:18,090 --> 00:45:21,719
He was with his girlfriend
for, uh, ten years
964
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,054
before they decided to get engaged.
965
00:45:26,140 --> 00:45:28,058
And my brother was just excited...
966
00:45:29,268 --> 00:45:31,145
about being married, um,
967
00:45:31,145 --> 00:45:34,523
so, you know, went to visit.
968
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:38,110
We were, you know,
getting fitted for our, like, tuxedos,
969
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:42,448
and, um, about a week later,
970
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:44,533
his fiancée called me at 3:00 a.m.
and was like,
971
00:45:45,075 --> 00:45:48,287
"Hey, I haven't heard from Marvin
in a few hours."
972
00:45:48,287 --> 00:45:50,789
"Have you-- have you heard from him?"
973
00:45:50,789 --> 00:45:51,999
And I'm like, "No."
974
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:56,545
I'm just, like, almost to a fault,
just such an optimistic person.
975
00:45:57,129 --> 00:45:59,757
- Mm-hmm.
- [Brett] So, I'm thinking he's good.
976
00:45:59,757 --> 00:46:04,261
Like, he just hasn't been able
to get to a phone, so, um,
977
00:46:05,387 --> 00:46:06,555
I went on to work,
978
00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:09,892
and... his-- his fiancée calls me,
979
00:46:09,892 --> 00:46:11,518
and I can just...
980
00:46:11,518 --> 00:46:14,730
And her voice is just super--
just-- just, like-- like, firm,
981
00:46:14,730 --> 00:46:17,274
and she just says, "Brett, come home."
982
00:46:18,525 --> 00:46:19,651
"Brett, come home."
983
00:46:23,822 --> 00:46:27,201
And then a few minutes later,
my brother calls me. [sniffles]
984
00:46:30,204 --> 00:46:32,998
And the moment I pick up the phone,
I just hear him crying, just like--
985
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:36,168
Just crying. [sniffles]
986
00:46:37,002 --> 00:46:39,880
Um, and he's like, "He's gone. He's gone."
987
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,133
I'm like, "What are you talking about?"
He's like, "He's gone. He's gone."
988
00:46:44,635 --> 00:46:46,178
My oldest brother is gone?
989

Less than five minutes from his house,
990
00:46:51,099 --> 00:46:53,644
he somehow lost control of his car.
991
00:46:54,895 --> 00:46:57,981
And, um, ran off the road.
992
00:46:59,066 --> 00:47:03,654
So, instead of going to a wedding,
993
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:06,114

to go to a funeral.

[Tiffany] Brett,
I'm really sorry to hear that.
996
00:47:14,373 --> 00:47:16,375
[Brett] Going through that experience
997
00:47:16,375 --> 00:47:18,961
really made me aware of,
like, my mortality.
998
00:47:18,961 --> 00:47:20,003
[Tiffany] Mm-hmm.
999
00:47:20,003 --> 00:47:23,131

this great future with somebody,

- That thought...
- [Tiffany sniffles]
1002

1003

[Tiffany] Mm-hmm.
1004
00:47:35,769 --> 00:47:41,567
I do find myself thinking
about, like, a future with you.

And what if we have
this great relationship and then...

in a year something happened?
