Do you know how lucky I am

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,266
to get a sublet in the West
Village of New York City

31
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,000
on my budget?

32
00:01:59,133 --> 00:02:02,400
Without six roommates and a bed
that folds into the wall.

33
00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:04,633
But honey, that apartment
belongs to a stranger you met

34
00:02:04,767 --> 00:02:06,133
on the internet.

35
00:02:06,266 --> 00:02:08,900
She's not a stranger.
We talked about this.

36
00:02:09,033 --> 00:02:11,266
My friend Abbie posted that her
friend Amelia was looking

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,600
for someone to sublet.

38
00:02:12,734 --> 00:02:14,767
I met her over Zoom
and she seems very nice.

39
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:15,834
And what if something
goes wrong?

40
00:02:15,967 --> 00:02:17,467
What if a pipe bursts?

41
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,100
Besides, Amelia left me
an entire checklist

42
00:02:22,233 --> 00:02:24,433
for the apartment in case
anything goes wrong.

43
00:02:24,567 --> 00:02:26,633
We just don't understand why
you had to leave Omaha

44
00:02:26,767 --> 00:02:28,600
and move halfway
across the country.

45
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:31,300
Because it's time that I get
out on my own.

46
00:02:31,433 --> 00:02:32,734
What about work?

47
00:02:32,867 --> 00:02:34,800
A steady job and
a steady career.

48
00:02:34,934 --> 00:02:37,266
I have an appointment about
that very thing this afternoon.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,100
So, I gotta go.

50
00:02:39,233 --> 00:02:40,967
We love you.

51
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,667
Just call us, alright?
Just keep us posted, ok?

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,000
I love you, sweetheart.

53
00:02:46,133 --> 00:02:47,934
Love you too.
Gotta go, bye.

54
00:02:59,433 --> 00:03:00,467
Oh.

55
00:03:07,333 --> 00:03:10,467
Well, I have got
to go. My 1:00 is starting.

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,467
It's 1:30 Mom,
and who's counting?

57
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,567
Austin.
Wonderful to see you.

58
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:22,233
Hi. We are both gonna have
the Kale Caesar.

59
00:03:22,367 --> 00:03:23,567
I was gonna get
the chicken sandwich.

60
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:24,834
Nonsense.

61
00:03:24,967 --> 00:03:27,400
It is my favorite salad
in the city.

62
00:03:28,433 --> 00:03:29,967
So, what's the occasion?

63
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,000
You know it's not
my birthday, right?

64
00:03:32,133 --> 00:03:35,533
The Paley Center is hosting
a retrospective

65
00:03:35,667 --> 00:03:38,166
to celebrate my 40 years
in the news business.

66
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:42,633
And I want to inspire the next
generation of journalists.

67
00:03:42,767 --> 00:03:44,133
I'll add it to my calendar.

68
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:46,567
Well, I want you to do more
than that.

69
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,400
They're honoring my legacy,
which includes you as well

70
00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:53,800
and so naturally there will be
some questions

71
00:03:53,934 --> 00:03:56,166
about your current, um...

72
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:00,400
Career status.

73
00:04:00,533 --> 00:04:04,800
I have arranged an interview for
you at the New York Chronicle .

74
00:04:04,934 --> 00:04:07,300
Mom, no, we've been over this
countless times.

75
00:04:07,433 --> 00:04:10,100
It's not what I want for myself.
I'm making my own way.

76
00:04:10,233 --> 00:04:11,734
By doing what? Tutoring?

77
00:04:11,867 --> 00:04:13,200
It's a means to an end.

78
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:15,400
I saved up enough money
so I can focus on writing.

79
00:04:15,533 --> 00:04:17,066
Children's fairy tales.

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,967
Books, Mom.

81
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,900
I want to write exciting
and adventurous books

82
00:04:21,033 --> 00:04:22,400
for a young audience.

83
00:04:22,533 --> 00:04:24,900
Isn't that inspiring
the next generation too?

84
00:04:25,033 --> 00:04:27,400
Honey, you have
so much potential.

85
00:04:27,533 --> 00:04:28,900
You are smart.

86
00:04:29,033 --> 00:04:32,100
You have a degree in journalism
from Northwestern.

87
00:04:32,233 --> 00:04:34,066
Did you even read the pages
I sent you?

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,567
Oh, wow.

89
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:38,133
That looks absolutely marvelous.

90
00:04:38,266 --> 00:04:40,367
They're just salads, Mom.

91
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:43,934
And it is just a meeting, Austin.

92
00:04:44,066 --> 00:04:45,700
The editor is an old friend
of mine.

93
00:04:45,834 --> 00:04:47,700
He's... he's expecting you.

94
00:04:49,867 --> 00:04:53,900
If I do this interview,
will you promise to drop it?

95
00:04:54,033 --> 00:04:55,033
Yes.

96
00:04:56,066 --> 00:04:59,934
Fine. I'll do it, but I'm not
gonna like it.

97
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:01,600
Just like this salad.

98
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:08,600
So what are
your job goals?

99
00:05:08,734 --> 00:05:11,700
I came here to figure out what
I want to do with my life.

100
00:05:11,834 --> 00:05:15,767
Well that is about as honest
an answer as I've ever heard.

101
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:17,834
Let's start with
your work history.

102
00:05:17,967 --> 00:05:21,033
Um, for the past seven years

103
00:05:21,166 --> 00:05:24,200
I've worked for my dad's patio
furniture company back home.

104
00:05:24,333 --> 00:05:26,000
And why did you quit?

105
00:05:26,133 --> 00:05:30,367
I realized I'm about to turn 30
and I was living the life

106
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,433
that my parents wanted for me,

107
00:05:32,567 --> 00:05:34,266
but not the life that I wanted
for myself

108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,367
and I knew that if I stayed

109
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,667
I would never get up the courage
to get out on my own.

110
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,133
So, I quit my job and I gave up
my apartment

111
00:05:45,266 --> 00:05:47,166
and I moved to New York City.

112
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:48,633
That's gutsy.

113
00:05:48,767 --> 00:05:50,800
I'm sure we can find work
for you pretty quickly.

114
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:52,700
I know you see a lot of people

115
00:05:52,834 --> 00:05:54,800
who are just looking
for temp jobs

116
00:05:54,934 --> 00:05:56,834
but I really want more
than that.

117
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:59,600
- Mmmhmm.
- I figure temping is
my best shot

118
00:05:59,734 --> 00:06:02,400
at trying out a lot of
different careers.

119
00:06:02,533 --> 00:06:04,900
And you're at the center
at the job market.

120
00:06:05,033 --> 00:06:08,233
I want to work with you
to find my calling.

121
00:06:08,367 --> 00:06:09,333
Well, that's a first.

122
00:06:09,467 --> 00:06:11,734
I would love to work
with you.

123
00:06:11,867 --> 00:06:13,600
Any particular field you'd like
to start with?

124
00:06:13,734 --> 00:06:15,266
I am flexible.

125
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,000
I mean, New York is full of
possibilities, right?

126
00:06:18,133 --> 00:06:21,333
Alright. Well, let's see
what we've got.

127
00:06:23,867 --> 00:06:27,500
We just got an opening this
afternoon for a fashion show.

128
00:06:27,633 --> 00:06:29,367
Great. Sign me up.

129
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,600
Ok.

130
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,867
This is Isabella Demark's

131
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,166
most important fashion show
of the year.

132
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:40,667
You are to be seen
and not heard,

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,667
is that understood?

134
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:42,867
Understood.

135
00:06:45,333 --> 00:06:47,400
Oh, seen, not heard.
Right, right.

136
00:06:47,533 --> 00:06:49,333
Um, I do have one question.

137
00:06:49,467 --> 00:06:52,567
When do we get to see
the collection?

138
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:55,934
None of you are to go anywhere
near the runway,

139
00:06:56,066 --> 00:06:58,767
the models or the couture.

140
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,166
I'm just curious, you know, are
we talking like classic staples

141
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:09,133
or is it more like futuristic
and impractical pieces?

142
00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:11,400
I mean, that would be my vote.

143
00:07:12,967 --> 00:07:17,066
You hand out press passes.
You set up chairs.

144
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,300
You, pick up the order
from Juice Boost.

145
00:07:19,433 --> 00:07:21,834
Um, what's that?

146
00:07:21,967 --> 00:07:24,967
A micro metrics raw juice bar.
Downtown on Great Jones Street.

147
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:27,166
Here is the address
and the orders.

148
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:29,934
I need these exact and
I need them by 3:00PM.

149
00:07:30,066 --> 00:07:31,567
Don't be late.

150
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,233
Uh, right. I was thinking I...

151
00:07:35,367 --> 00:07:37,600
Is there a problem?

152
00:07:37,734 --> 00:07:41,300
No. No, I am... I am just
grateful to be here.

153
00:07:41,433 --> 00:07:42,934
You should be.

154
00:07:43,066 --> 00:07:45,066
3:00PM. I won't be late.

155
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,333
Actually, I will be early.

156
00:07:49,533 --> 00:07:51,166
Do you know the best way
to get...

157
00:07:59,767 --> 00:08:02,900
Austin, Alan Sandler.
Thanks so much for waiting.

158
00:08:03,033 --> 00:08:04,233
Busy day here?

159
00:08:04,367 --> 00:08:05,867
News never stops, does it?

160
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,633
Which is why I don't want to
take up too much of your time.

161
00:08:07,767 --> 00:08:09,000
My thoughts exactly.

162
00:08:09,133 --> 00:08:10,900
We're thrilled that
you're joining the team.

163
00:08:11,033 --> 00:08:13,066
Joining the team?

164
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,333
We'll start you on features
first thing tomorrow morning.

165
00:08:15,467 --> 00:08:16,867
I thought this was
an interview.

166
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,533
This is you.

167
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,233
When Patricia calls and tells us
to give her son a job,

168
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:22,200
we listen.

169
00:08:22,333 --> 00:08:23,367
Must be a big relief.

170
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:24,500
I wish I had those kinds
of connections

171
00:08:24,633 --> 00:08:26,233
when I was coming up.

172
00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,033
Don't you want to see
if I'm the right fit?

173
00:08:29,166 --> 00:08:30,133
If you're anything
like your mother,

174
00:08:30,266 --> 00:08:31,734
you're gonna fit right in.

175
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:40,133
Taxi!

176
00:08:40,266 --> 00:08:41,233
Taxi.

177
00:08:45,133 --> 00:08:47,233
- Hey, that's my cab!
- It's my taxi.

178
00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:51,734
Glad to know chivalry
is alive and well!

179
00:08:54,967 --> 00:08:56,000
Taxi!

180
00:08:57,834 --> 00:08:59,000
Taxi!

181
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,467
I know I'm late but this jerk
stole my cab

182
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,433
and proved that chivalry
is dead.

183
00:09:06,567 --> 00:09:08,700
Gone, caput.

184
00:09:08,834 --> 00:09:10,300
Did you know where I'm supposed
to put these?

185
00:09:12,433 --> 00:09:13,800
And you are not a person.

186
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,467
Oh... I can... I can... I can
clean this.

187
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,066
Um, does anybody have any
club soda? Or uh... or um...

188
00:10:30,667 --> 00:10:37,400
Nathan the Squirrel stood
atop the pinnacle

189
00:10:37,533 --> 00:10:39,967
of the Empire State Building,

190
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,967
with his little pair
of flying shoes.

191
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:52,467
But, the only thing he wanted
was to come back safely

192
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,800
to the ground.

193
00:11:00,233 --> 00:11:02,033
Ok, that's how you want
to play it, huh?

194
00:11:03,467 --> 00:11:04,767
Ok. Ok.

195
00:11:07,467 --> 00:11:09,166
Let's see... Radiator.

196
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:12,934
"Turn valve all the way
to the left." Check.

197
00:11:13,066 --> 00:11:15,266
"Kick twice for good luck."

198
00:11:16,867 --> 00:11:17,767
Ok.

199
00:11:23,767 --> 00:11:26,533
Ha, ha! Victory is mine.

200
00:11:28,467 --> 00:11:30,033
"And one last thing,

201
00:11:30,166 --> 00:11:32,600
"if the guy across the hall is
looking for me, tell him..."

202
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,934
Oh. You're not Amelia.

203
00:11:40,066 --> 00:11:42,667
Wait, you're the guy
who stole my taxi.

204
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,033
What? That wasn't your taxi.
I flagged it.

205
00:11:46,166 --> 00:11:48,967
Yeah, for me.
I assumed you were being nice.

206
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:50,433
Well you're clearly
not from New York.

207
00:11:50,567 --> 00:11:51,967
I just moved here.

208
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:54,000
I'm subletting for Amelia
for the next two months.

209
00:11:54,133 --> 00:11:55,967
Two months?
Where'd she go?

210
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:59,000
Uh, work trip in Japan
and then traveling.

211
00:11:59,133 --> 00:12:02,500
I'm sure you'll see it
all over her feed.

212
00:12:02,633 --> 00:12:06,667
Wait a minute.
9:00PM, a bottle of wine?

213
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,567
I know what this is.

214
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,734
And I'm gonna go back across
the hall to my apartment now.

215
00:12:10,867 --> 00:12:12,266
Mmhm.

216
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,100
Goodnight!

217
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,767
You again?

218
00:12:24,867 --> 00:12:26,367
Oh, you're the guy across
the hall.

219
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:28,900
- Amelia left a message for you.
- She did?

220
00:12:29,033 --> 00:12:30,834
Uh, "Dear Austin," is that you?

221
00:12:30,967 --> 00:12:32,367
One and the same.

222
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:34,367
"I think you're great and we
always have fun together

223
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,700
"but I think it's time
we move on."

224
00:12:36,834 --> 00:12:38,367
Oh, I think she's breaking
up with you.

225
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:39,567
Yeah, thanks for making
that clear

226
00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:41,333
but we weren't actually dating.

227
00:12:41,467 --> 00:12:43,100
"I know we weren't
actually dating."

228
00:12:43,233 --> 00:12:45,767
Well, at least you two were on
the same page about something.

229
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:47,233
"And that's the problem,

230
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:49,367
"I'm ready for a relationship
but not with you.

231
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:50,600
"I need someone who's
more serious

232
00:12:50,734 --> 00:12:51,900
"about their direction..."

233
00:12:52,033 --> 00:12:53,333
You don't have to keep reading.

234
00:12:53,467 --> 00:12:54,700
But I've never broken up
with somebody

235
00:12:54,834 --> 00:12:56,700
on behalf of somebody else before.

236
00:12:56,834 --> 00:12:57,767
You having fun?

237
00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:59,100
A little.

238
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:06,433
I'm sorry, who are you exactly
and why are you here?

239
00:13:06,567 --> 00:13:09,967
I'm Piper and I came here
to figure out my calling

240
00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:11,333
and make something of myself.

241
00:13:12,767 --> 00:13:13,934
Why are you laughing?

242
00:13:14,066 --> 00:13:15,900
That's cute.
No, no reason.

243
00:13:16,033 --> 00:13:19,000
I just didn't know people
actually used phrases like that.

244
00:13:19,133 --> 00:13:20,633
I'm sure it'll all work out
for you.

245
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:22,900
It will. Thank you.

246
00:13:23,033 --> 00:13:24,500
- Good night.
- Good night!

247
00:13:26,967 --> 00:13:27,934
Ok.

248
00:13:33,734 --> 00:13:34,667
Ok, so this is really
bugging me

249
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,400
so I have to ask.

250
00:13:36,533 --> 00:13:38,500
What's your master plan for
the two months you're here?

251
00:13:38,633 --> 00:13:39,834
I signed up with
a temp agency.

252
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:40,834
That's your plan?

253
00:13:40,967 --> 00:13:42,266
Yeah, I had my first job today.

254
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,400
And how'd it go?

255
00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:44,600
Hm, fashion isn't really
my thing.

256
00:13:44,734 --> 00:13:46,233
Let me see if I got this right.

257
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:48,400
You gave yourself two months
to find your passion

258
00:13:48,533 --> 00:13:50,100
and then make it
but you don't even know

259
00:13:50,233 --> 00:13:51,266
what field that'll be in

260
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,300
and the first job you tried
fired you?

261
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:54,800
I didn't say fired.

262
00:13:54,934 --> 00:13:56,400
You didn't have to.

263
00:13:57,467 --> 00:13:59,934
You seem like a nice,
if slightly deluded person

264
00:14:00,133 --> 00:14:02,700
so I'm just gonna tell you
straight up.

265
00:14:02,834 --> 00:14:04,867
Success isn't all
it's cracked up to be.

266
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,834
Hm. New Yorkers really
are opinionated.

267
00:14:07,967 --> 00:14:09,867
It's not an opinion,
it's a fact.

268
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,233
I've seen the inner circle.

269
00:14:11,367 --> 00:14:13,200
That must be nice.

270
00:14:13,333 --> 00:14:15,700
But, for the rest of us, we
have to take what we can get.

271
00:14:15,834 --> 00:14:16,734
So, thank you.

272
00:14:16,867 --> 00:14:17,734
For what?

273
00:14:17,867 --> 00:14:19,133
The wine.

274
00:14:22,300 --> 00:14:23,333
You're welcome.

275
00:15:22,667 --> 00:15:24,166
Pumpkin bread?

276
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:25,300
Enjoy it.

277
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Would you like to try some
seasonal pumpkin bread?

278
00:15:29,333 --> 00:15:32,066
Oh, uh, sure.
Thank you.

279
00:15:36,166 --> 00:15:38,066
This is really good.

280
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,867
Have you tried this
pumpkin bread?

281
00:15:41,533 --> 00:15:43,233
Maybe she's more of an apple
crumble person.

282
00:15:44,834 --> 00:15:45,934
Did you make this?

283
00:15:46,066 --> 00:15:47,567
No, that would be my husband, Toby.

284
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:48,867
You should come in
and meet him.

285
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,900
Your efforts have certainly
earned you

286
00:15:50,033 --> 00:15:51,567
a coffee on the house.

287
00:15:51,700 --> 00:15:52,700
Wow, ok.

288
00:15:52,834 --> 00:15:53,900
Follow me.

289
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:57,800
So, what lucky gust of wind
dropped you on our doorstep

290
00:15:57,934 --> 00:15:59,600
like Marlo Thomas
in "That Girl"

291
00:15:59,734 --> 00:16:01,667
'cause you are clearly not
from around here?

292
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,367
Don't let Will fool you.

293
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:06,767
He tumbled out of a Greyhound
bus too and never looked back.

294
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:08,433
Where from?

295
00:16:08,567 --> 00:16:10,967
A part of Wisconsin you've
never heard of and never will.

296
00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:12,800
He's put that part of his life
behind him.

297
00:16:12,934 --> 00:16:14,934
I simply reinvented myself.

298
00:16:15,066 --> 00:16:15,967
It's a great thing
about this city,

299
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,367
you can just start over.

300
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:19,500
And become the person
you were meant to be.

301
00:16:19,633 --> 00:16:21,367
That's exactly why I'm here.

302
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,033
To figure out who
I'm meant to be.

303
00:16:24,166 --> 00:16:26,800
I'm Piper and you two
are officially

304
00:16:26,934 --> 00:16:29,000
my new favorite people.

305
00:16:29,133 --> 00:16:32,467
You must be Toby.
I love the pumpkin bread.

306
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Welcome to the Keystone Café.

307
00:16:34,133 --> 00:16:35,767
Yeah, we actually opened
the café as a refuge

308
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:37,367
for anyone new to the city.

309
00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:39,467
We know what it's like
to move here on your own.

310
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,800
Usually with parents back home
who don't understand

311
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:44,166
and don't approve.

312
00:16:44,300 --> 00:16:46,533
Am I wearing a sign
or something?

313
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:48,467
How did you know?

314
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,467
Oh, just one of my many
mysterious gifts.

315
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,367
Coming up, my special
pumpkin spice latte.

316
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,000
Why don't you go take a seat
and I'll bring it right over.

317
00:16:56,133 --> 00:16:57,100
Thanks.

318
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:07,333
Austin, what a surprise.

319
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,266
I could say the same thing.

320
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,567
A job offer at the New York
Chronicle really?

321
00:17:11,700 --> 00:17:12,867
Some interview.

322
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,567
Well, I knew you wouldn't
go otherwise.

323
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,867
I am interviewing the secretary
of the UN.

324
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,500
You could be doing important
work like that too.

325
00:17:21,633 --> 00:17:23,734
Fictional stories provide
an escape.

326
00:17:23,867 --> 00:17:25,934
Entertainment.
Inspiration.

327
00:17:26,066 --> 00:17:30,233
That can be just as important
a public service as journalism.

328
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:32,033
I'm not taking the job, Mom.

329
00:17:36,867 --> 00:17:39,233
Ah, do we have an artist
in our midst?

330
00:17:39,367 --> 00:17:43,166
No. It's just a silly hobby.

331
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:45,200
Coffee, Toby, black.

332
00:17:45,333 --> 00:17:48,500
Furthest reaches
of the galaxy black.

333
00:17:48,633 --> 00:17:51,734
You saw your mother, I take it?
Need a shot of whiskey instead?

334
00:17:51,867 --> 00:17:53,033
Don't get my hopes up.

335
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:54,433
I know you don't have
a liquor license.

336
00:17:58,033 --> 00:17:59,200
What's this?

337
00:17:59,333 --> 00:18:00,433
First, you move in across
the hall

338
00:18:00,567 --> 00:18:02,633
and now you move in
on my favorite café?

339
00:18:02,767 --> 00:18:05,433
Oh, I must have missed your name
on the door.

340
00:18:05,567 --> 00:18:06,900
Wait, you two know each other?

341
00:18:07,033 --> 00:18:08,400
Yeah, we're temporary neighbors.

342
00:18:08,533 --> 00:18:10,900
Wait, how are you both
so buddy-buddy.

343
00:18:11,033 --> 00:18:13,100
It took months for Will and Toby
to warm up to me.

344
00:18:13,233 --> 00:18:14,467
That's because you're always
giving off

345
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:15,800
total curmudgeon vibes.

346
00:18:15,934 --> 00:18:18,233
I doubt curmudgeon
is the right word.

347
00:18:18,367 --> 00:18:20,400
Holed up writing
your book all day.

348
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,633
A grunt of acknowledgement
when I call your order.

349
00:18:22,767 --> 00:18:23,934
You're a writer?

350
00:18:24,066 --> 00:18:25,467
Working on it.

351
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,567
But as of an hour ago,
I'm apparently a journalist.

352
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,333
My mother got the New York
Chronicle to offer me a job.

353
00:18:31,467 --> 00:18:33,767
Your mother must be
very important.

354
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:35,900
His mother is Patricia Edwards.

355
00:18:36,033 --> 00:18:38,133
Your mother is
Patricia Edwards?

356
00:18:38,266 --> 00:18:43,266
As in the famous journalist?
I mean, she's kind of a legend.

357
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,000
Yeah, I guess she is.

358
00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:46,767
Well, you're not gonna take
the job, are you?

359
00:18:46,900 --> 00:18:48,467
What if I did?

360
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,667
But you always fought
to carve your own path?

361
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,667
I can't keep hoping she'll come
around to that.

362
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,133
Maybe it's time for
a new strategy.

363
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:55,266
Austin.

364
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,900
Go with me here.

365
00:18:57,033 --> 00:18:59,233
I could do the bare minimum
and cash a good paycheck.

366
00:18:59,367 --> 00:19:01,166
All while secretly working
on my book.

367
00:19:01,300 --> 00:19:04,667
Wait a minute, so you plan
on taking a good job

368
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,867
with the intent to do
a bad job?

369
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,166
Yep.

370
00:19:09,300 --> 00:19:11,000
I think you might regret that.

371
00:19:11,133 --> 00:19:12,367
And how is your job hunt going?

372
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,867
Have you found your passion
and made it yet?

373
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,066
Not yet, but I will rub it in
your face when I do.

374
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,834
She actually has a new job at
the Uptown Museum in New York.

375
00:19:23,967 --> 00:19:26,900
Austin, why don't you show her
how to get to the right subway?

376
00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:28,200
Good idea.

377
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:31,500
She'd undoubtedly get
lost otherwise.

378
00:19:31,633 --> 00:19:34,467
There's nothing wrong with
getting lost along the way.

379
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,734
That's how you stumble
upon the best things.

380
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:43,333
In a hurry?

381
00:19:43,467 --> 00:19:44,800
No, why?

382
00:19:44,934 --> 00:19:46,066
How can you appreciate
everything around you

383
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,633
when you rush right by it?

384
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,300
What's there to see?

385
00:19:49,433 --> 00:19:53,000
Oh! Who has the
cutest little sweater, huh?

386
00:19:53,133 --> 00:19:55,233
And the floppies little ears, huh?

387
00:19:57,667 --> 00:19:59,567
Yeah?

388
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:01,867
Don't you have some place
to be?

389
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,500
Yes, but I can take in

390
00:20:05,633 --> 00:20:08,367
all the beautiful sights of
the city on the way.

391
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,367
Like, look at these leaves.
Marvelous color.

392
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:16,967
Doesn't it make you just want
to curl up in a cozy flannel?

393
00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:18,967
No, makes me want to tell
the residents

394
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:22,367
to sweep their sidewalks.

395
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,533
Does New York really
hold no magic for you?

396
00:20:25,667 --> 00:20:28,800
In the fantasy of my mind
and the stories I write.

397
00:20:28,934 --> 00:20:30,333
Not in real life.

398
00:20:30,467 --> 00:20:32,500
So then why do you live here?

399
00:20:32,633 --> 00:20:34,400
Because New York's the greatest
city in the world.

400
00:20:36,767 --> 00:20:38,033
I thought you just said...

401
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:42,200
I'm a New Yorker.
I'm supposed to hate everything.

402
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:43,500
Yeah, when you're ready
to go to work,

403
00:20:43,633 --> 00:20:45,967
the subway's just straight up
that way.

404
00:20:46,100 --> 00:20:48,033
Unless of course you get
distracted romanticizing

405
00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:50,000
a sewer grate.

406
00:20:50,133 --> 00:20:52,567
You never know what wonders
lie beneath our feet.

407
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:53,734
Have a good day!

408
00:20:53,867 --> 00:20:55,100
You too.

409
00:21:08,033 --> 00:21:10,533
As an attendant, you'll have
to answer any visitor questions

410
00:21:10,667 --> 00:21:12,166
and provide directions.

411
00:21:12,300 --> 00:21:15,667
So, please familiarize yourself
with the layout.

412
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,367
Must be so exciting
working here.

413
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:20,367
Surrounded by all this,
you know, history and culture.

414
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:21,467
Indeed.

415
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,800
We don't allow food, drinks

416
00:21:22,934 --> 00:21:24,834
and definitely no touching
the collection.

417
00:21:24,967 --> 00:21:26,233
Hopefully you won't
be confronted

418
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:29,000
with too many field trips
of rowdy school children.

419
00:21:29,133 --> 00:21:31,133
Well, if I have to defend
myself at least I know

420
00:21:31,266 --> 00:21:33,667
where the ancient
battle shields are.

421
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,400
That was a joke.

422
00:21:35,533 --> 00:21:39,033
Funny.
Let's get you a name tag.

423
00:21:39,166 --> 00:21:40,633
Great.

424
00:21:53,133 --> 00:21:54,500
Not a fan of museums?

425
00:21:54,633 --> 00:21:56,066
Huh?

426
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,467
Well, I just... I noticed
you glued to your phone.

427
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,734
There's nothing here that's
piquing your interest?

428
00:22:02,867 --> 00:22:08,367
No, my mom made us come.
Most boring vacation ever.

429
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,266
Where would you rather
have gone?

430
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,567
Hawaii, to surf.

431
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:17,700
Surfing, that's fun.
But aren't you afraid of sharks?

432
00:22:17,834 --> 00:22:21,066
No, I love them.
They're so awesome.

433
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,867
Oh. Well then you should
check out our third floor

434
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,934
because we have a huge
shark exhibit.

435
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:26,934
Are there hammerheads?

436
00:22:27,066 --> 00:22:27,934
Uh-huh.

437
00:22:28,066 --> 00:22:28,934
What about great whites?

438
00:22:29,066 --> 00:22:30,567
Oh yeah. Definitely.

439
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,633
I'm sorry, is my son
bothering you?

440
00:22:32,767 --> 00:22:35,300
Mom! She said there's
a shark exhibit.

441
00:22:35,433 --> 00:22:37,600
We have to go.

442
00:22:37,734 --> 00:22:40,266
Thank you.
I was beginning to lose hope.

443
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,567
I practically had
to drag him here.

444
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:44,734
My pleasure.

445
00:22:44,867 --> 00:22:46,233
Uh, you can take the elevators
on the left.

446
00:22:46,367 --> 00:22:48,567
Third floor.
Can't miss it.

447
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:53,200
Austin, let's hit
the ground running.

448
00:22:53,333 --> 00:22:56,033
We're doing a piece on the
founder of a new tech startup.

449
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,300
Why don't you take the lead
on this?

450
00:22:58,433 --> 00:22:59,600
It's not really my scene.

451
00:23:00,934 --> 00:23:02,767
It's not really how things work.

452
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,667
Ok. I'll get it to you
by the end of the week.

453
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,433
More like tomorrow, Austin.
News moves fast.

454
00:23:12,667 --> 00:23:14,600
But you're your mother's son,
you can handle it, right?

455
00:23:16,467 --> 00:23:17,467
Sure.

456
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,166
I'm gonna need a bit
more enthusiasm

457
00:23:20,300 --> 00:23:22,266
than that around here.

458
00:23:34,633 --> 00:23:37,934
Piper! You've received
excellent remarks

459
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:39,300
on the visitor cards
left behind.

460
00:23:39,433 --> 00:23:41,333
That's so nice.

461
00:23:41,467 --> 00:23:43,834
Does it correspond
to any kind of perks?

462
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:47,266
Because I have had my eye
on Cleopatra's bracelet.

463
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,967
No perks, but it does come
with an offer.

464
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,033
The department is looking for

465
00:23:51,166 --> 00:23:52,867
a new visitor relations supervisor.

466
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,300
I'd like to recommend you
for the job.

467
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:55,433
Oh.

468
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:57,000
It's a full-time position.

469
00:23:57,133 --> 00:23:58,333
Not one that opens up
here too often.

470
00:23:58,467 --> 00:23:59,867
Are you interested?

471
00:24:02,533 --> 00:24:05,433
You turned the job down?
Why?

472
00:24:05,567 --> 00:24:07,867
I don't know, it just...

473
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,533
Wasn't the right fit?

474
00:24:09,667 --> 00:24:10,767
Exactly.

475
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:13,166
Any idea what the right fit
might be?

476
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:18,667
It's a gut feeling.
I'll know it when I see it.

477
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,433
Ok, Piper.

478
00:24:20,567 --> 00:24:23,734
But you told me that
you only have two months.

479
00:24:23,867 --> 00:24:25,667
At some point, you're going
to have to figure out

480
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,867
what it is that you want.

481
00:24:42,533 --> 00:24:44,333
- After you.
- After you.

482
00:24:44,467 --> 00:24:45,834
Go frolic in the leaf piles

483
00:24:45,967 --> 00:24:47,934
before I kick them
out of the way.

484
00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,767
Pantheon Publicity,
please hold.

485
00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:00,233
Pantheon Publicity,
please hold.

486
00:25:01,867 --> 00:25:03,266
Pantheon Publicity,
please hold.

487
00:25:04,567 --> 00:25:06,600
Pantheon Publicity,
please hold.

488
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,767
Pantheon Publicity,
please hold.

489
00:25:13,734 --> 00:25:15,667
Try again, Austin.
My desk, two hours.

490
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,300
Wow! This is pretty great.

491
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:27,567
Are none of my spots sacred?

492
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:29,467
Why so grumpy?

493
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,567
Let me guess, your master plan
isn't working out how you hoped?

494
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:34,200
Not exactly.
How about yours?

495
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:36,066
Hm.

496
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,667
May have told the temp agency to
throw everything they got at me.

497
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,467
And?

498
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,333
And, a hedge fund offered me
a full-time admin job today.

499
00:26:43,467 --> 00:26:46,367
Let me guess,
you turned it down?

500
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:47,734
How did you know that?

501
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:50,033
You did the same thing
at the museum.

502
00:26:50,166 --> 00:26:51,834
Will told me.

503
00:26:51,967 --> 00:26:54,700
One cappuccino in that guy and
suddenly he's Lady Whistledown.

504
00:26:54,834 --> 00:26:56,967
Doesn't it seem odd that you
keep turning down jobs

505
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:58,533
without even giving them
a chance?

506
00:26:58,667 --> 00:27:02,433
No. Because I'm not looking
for just a job.

507
00:27:02,567 --> 00:27:04,767
I am looking for a
fulfilling career.

508
00:27:04,900 --> 00:27:07,633
And when I find it, it's going
to feel like a lightning bolt.

509
00:27:07,767 --> 00:27:09,533
What's with the deadline
anyway?

510
00:27:09,667 --> 00:27:11,100
Why don't you give yourself
more time?

511
00:27:11,233 --> 00:27:13,867
Well, I gave myself
until my 30th birthday.

512
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,533
Uh-ha, it all makes sense now.
You're scared.

513
00:27:18,667 --> 00:27:19,800
I am not sacred.

514
00:27:19,934 --> 00:27:21,600
Your 20's are in the rearview.

515
00:27:21,734 --> 00:27:24,033
The choice you make now
will have consequences.

516
00:27:24,166 --> 00:27:26,800
Make the wrong one and you
could end up stuck for life.

517
00:27:26,934 --> 00:27:28,700
Exactly. That's the point.

518
00:27:28,834 --> 00:27:31,266
Which is why I gave myself
the freedom to try out

519
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,800
multiple careers so I can make
the right decision.

520
00:27:34,934 --> 00:27:37,700
And, in fact, I think you're
the one who's scared.

521
00:27:37,834 --> 00:27:39,567
Obsessing over every
little punctuation

522
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:40,767
in an otherwise finished book.

523
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:41,767
How do you know that?

524
00:27:41,900 --> 00:27:42,767
Toby.

525
00:27:42,900 --> 00:27:44,800
Those two, I swear.

526
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:50,467
So, why not just send it out?

527
00:27:52,266 --> 00:27:54,400
Unless you're scared
of succeeding?

528
00:27:54,533 --> 00:27:57,233
No. Now who's making
baseless accusations?

529
00:27:57,367 --> 00:27:58,734
Oh, ok.

530
00:27:58,867 --> 00:28:01,467
If they're so baseless
then why not just send it?

531
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,300
All due respect,
you're the last person

532
00:28:03,433 --> 00:28:05,133
I'll be taking
career advice from.

533
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,834
Well, then why don't you
take it from your mom?

534
00:28:07,967 --> 00:28:10,667
I bet she didn't get
where she is by holding back.

535
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,800
You have no idea the choices
my mom made to get where she is.

536
00:28:13,934 --> 00:28:15,867
Well, I know she, at least,
made some choices.

537
00:28:18,734 --> 00:28:20,033
Good night, Austin.

538
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,100
Good night.

539
00:28:59,033 --> 00:29:01,700
One pumpkin spice latte,
extra cinnamon.

540
00:29:01,834 --> 00:29:02,734
Piper!

541
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:03,900
Hm? Oh!

542
00:29:04,033 --> 00:29:05,000
Thanks.

543
00:29:08,767 --> 00:29:12,000
Question, don't you think
that turning 30 is a benchmark?

544
00:29:12,133 --> 00:29:14,066
One of those mornings, is it?

545
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,567
Well, as a wizened oracle of 44,
I'd say age is just a number.

546
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,100
But three zero is a number
worth celebrating.

547
00:29:24,233 --> 00:29:25,400
When's the big day?

548
00:29:25,533 --> 00:29:26,900
Uh, in five weeks.

549
00:29:27,033 --> 00:29:28,066
Oooh, I'm already planning
your party.

550
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:29,300
You don't have to.

551
00:29:29,433 --> 00:29:31,000
No, it's too late.
It's already in my head.

552
00:29:31,133 --> 00:29:32,834
And once the train leaves the
station there's no stopping it.

553
00:29:32,967 --> 00:29:34,467
How do you feel about
funny hats?

554
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Uh...

555
00:29:36,133 --> 00:29:38,333
I've learned to just go along
for the ride.

556
00:29:38,467 --> 00:29:40,300
Love them.

557
00:29:40,433 --> 00:29:43,834
Getting the big 3-0 jitters?

558
00:29:43,967 --> 00:29:46,400
It's just something Austin said
on the rooftop the other night.

559
00:29:46,533 --> 00:29:48,633
The roof? What roof?

560
00:29:48,767 --> 00:29:50,967
Is there a great view and
a place to string lights?

561
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:52,133
I think so.

562
00:29:52,266 --> 00:29:54,266
That's where we'll do
your party.

563
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,967
Carry on.

564
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,934
He basically said that my fear
of making the wrong choice

565
00:29:58,066 --> 00:30:00,166
is holding me back
from finding my path.

566
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:02,133
You think there's any truth
to that?

567
00:30:02,266 --> 00:30:03,900
Maybe.

568
00:30:04,033 --> 00:30:05,333
I wasn't always a baker,
you know.

569
00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:06,633
It's true.

570
00:30:06,767 --> 00:30:07,967
I fell in love with
a corporate attorney

571
00:30:08,100 --> 00:30:10,000
who risked it all for what
he really wanted.

572
00:30:10,133 --> 00:30:11,233
- Me.
- Pumpkin bread.

573
00:30:15,233 --> 00:30:17,000
Finding your dream,

574
00:30:17,133 --> 00:30:21,900
the thing that makes you want
to jump out of bed each day,

575
00:30:22,033 --> 00:30:23,433
you'll know it
when you find it.

576
00:30:24,467 --> 00:30:25,500
What if I don't?

577
00:30:26,633 --> 00:30:28,000
Don't lose hope just yet.

578
00:30:29,967 --> 00:30:31,967
Thanks for the pep talk.

579
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,633
So what wild temp job
are you headed off to now?

580
00:30:34,767 --> 00:30:37,967
Actually, it's an interview
to be a dinner hostess.

581
00:30:38,100 --> 00:30:39,734
I figured I could bank
some extra cash

582
00:30:39,867 --> 00:30:41,400
in between the temp jobs.

583
00:30:41,533 --> 00:30:43,233
It's not like I can make
a career out of drawing

584
00:30:43,367 --> 00:30:44,934
in my apartment at night.

585
00:30:45,066 --> 00:30:47,400
- Good luck.
- Thanks. See ya later!

586
00:30:55,734 --> 00:30:57,834
This must be a very
popular restaurant.

587
00:30:59,233 --> 00:31:00,233
Doesn't look like a restaurant

588
00:31:00,367 --> 00:31:02,333
but maybe they're having
some interviews.

589
00:31:02,467 --> 00:31:03,467
Hi.

590
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:20,867
Hey, Alan.

591
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,800
I forgot to mention I've got
a dentist appointment today.

592
00:31:22,934 --> 00:31:24,500
Gotta lay off the candy
in the break room,

593
00:31:24,633 --> 00:31:27,867
so I'm gonna be a day late
with my article.

594
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,467
I hope you understand.

595
00:31:36,633 --> 00:31:38,967
- Piper Grant?
- Oh, yep!

596
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,300
We're ready for you.

597
00:31:40,433 --> 00:31:42,400
Ok. Thanks.

598
00:31:50,533 --> 00:31:52,800
You can leave your headshot
and resumé on the table, please.

599
00:31:52,934 --> 00:31:55,967
Oh, I just have a resumé.
I don't have a headshot.

600
00:31:56,100 --> 00:31:58,300
Of course not.
Did you prepare the sides?

601
00:31:58,433 --> 00:32:02,266
Uh, sides?
Like, curly fries?

602
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,967
Isn't... isn't that
the chef's job?

603
00:32:06,233 --> 00:32:11,233
Oh, is this one of those
performance restaurants

604
00:32:11,367 --> 00:32:14,367
like Medieval Times
or Ed Debevic's? Like...

605
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:15,967
No, honey.

606
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,033
We're casting for
a Broadway musical.

607
00:32:19,166 --> 00:32:23,300
Oh, Broadway.
Like, Broadway, Broadway.

608
00:32:23,433 --> 00:32:24,967
Can you sing us something?

609
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:28,233
Oh, um, I, I don't...

610
00:32:32,166 --> 00:32:36,400
You know, there is one song
I know...

611
00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:45,767
♪ Give my
regards to Broadway ♪

612
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:50,567
♪ Remember me
from Herald Square ♪

613
00:32:56,734 --> 00:32:59,133
Just setting you all up
for success.

614
00:33:03,834 --> 00:33:05,200
You're welcome.

615
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:17,300
It's well-written
and very interesting.

616
00:33:17,433 --> 00:33:20,800
A squirrel finds an oak tree
who's acorns grant wishes.

617
00:33:20,934 --> 00:33:23,133
Charming concept.

618
00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:26,166
There's so much potential here.
I wanted more.

619
00:33:26,300 --> 00:33:27,967
That's so great to hear, Susan.

620
00:33:28,100 --> 00:33:30,500
No, I mean I wanted more story.

621
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:32,333
I don't follow.

622
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:35,867
One-off books are hard to sell.
It's all about series nowadays.

623
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,500
I guess I never
considered that.

624
00:33:37,633 --> 00:33:39,200
I'd like you to come back
in a couple of weeks.

625
00:33:39,333 --> 00:33:42,100
Pitch your vision
for a larger series.

626
00:33:42,233 --> 00:33:44,100
Then I can assess whether it
might be a good fit for us.

627
00:33:44,233 --> 00:33:45,200
A couple weeks?

628
00:33:46,834 --> 00:33:49,633
Yeah, yeah I can...
I can do that.

629
00:33:52,166 --> 00:33:54,767
Ok. I'll, uh, we'll talk.

630
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:55,967
My assistant said
the restaurant

631
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:57,500
couldn't fit a table for 20.

632
00:33:57,633 --> 00:34:00,200
It's my opening night,
for goodness sake.

633
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:02,734
You know the place that has
the wallpaper with the birds

634
00:34:02,867 --> 00:34:05,000
and the dessert
with the rose petals.

635
00:34:05,133 --> 00:34:06,100
What's it called...

636
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:08,934
Constellation.

637
00:34:09,066 --> 00:34:12,333
And that rose petal pie
is incredible.

638
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:13,600
I'll call you back.

639
00:34:15,033 --> 00:34:17,166
I could probably get you
a table if you wanted.

640
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:19,500
I lugged apples around
for them last week

641
00:34:19,633 --> 00:34:21,266
and I made friends
with the chef.

642
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,934
If only my last two assistants
were as resourceful.

643
00:34:24,066 --> 00:34:26,700
Are, are you looking
for an assistant?

644
00:34:26,834 --> 00:34:29,000
That depends.
Are you an actress?

645
00:34:29,133 --> 00:34:32,700
Uh, recent experience
proves no.

646
00:34:32,834 --> 00:34:34,500
Definitely, definitely, not.

647
00:34:34,633 --> 00:34:36,100
Do you have any references?

648
00:34:36,233 --> 00:34:38,400
Oh, never mind, my previous
two girls had great references

649
00:34:38,533 --> 00:34:40,333
and look where that got us.

650
00:34:40,467 --> 00:34:43,700
This is a full-time job.
Are you up to the task?

651
00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:46,767
A full-time job is exactly
what I'm looking for.

652
00:34:46,900 --> 00:34:49,200
You're hired.
For a trial period.

653
00:34:49,333 --> 00:34:50,367
You start tomorrow.

654
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:51,533
Great.

655
00:34:52,967 --> 00:34:55,900
So, does it come with
health benefits or...

656
00:34:56,033 --> 00:34:57,266
Don't be late.

657
00:35:00,567 --> 00:35:01,667
Great!

658
00:35:08,467 --> 00:35:09,467
Water.

659
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,300
Oh. Don't want you to smudge
your lipstick.

660
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,667
Thank you.

661
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,133
"Miss Chilton's performance
shone like a sparkling diamond

662
00:35:33,266 --> 00:35:35,533
"in a career full of gems."

663
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:37,333
From the top.

664
00:35:37,467 --> 00:35:42,300
Uh, "Miss Chilton's performance
shone like a sparkling diamond

665
00:35:42,433 --> 00:35:44,533
"in a career full of gems."

666
00:35:44,667 --> 00:35:45,800
Again.

667
00:35:45,934 --> 00:35:47,700
But I just read it twice.

668
00:35:47,834 --> 00:35:49,900
Oh, you think I'm being silly,
don't you?

669
00:35:50,033 --> 00:35:51,867
Well, maybe you're right,

670
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,834
but I worked hard to get
to where I am

671
00:35:53,967 --> 00:35:55,567
and so when someone acknowledges
my skill,

672
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:58,567
I listen.
And I listen well.

673
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:01,633
These moments, they don't come
along every day.

674
00:36:01,767 --> 00:36:04,233
Once again, from the top.

675
00:36:04,367 --> 00:36:08,433
"Miss Chilton's performance,
it shone like a sparkling
diamond..."

676
00:36:10,867 --> 00:36:12,767
When can you get me and Tobes
tickets to her new show?

677
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:14,533
Ugh.

678
00:36:14,667 --> 00:36:16,033
Come on, it's the whole point
of having famous friends.

679
00:36:16,166 --> 00:36:17,867
Yeah, well I'm not
the famous one.

680
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,433
But, it is pretty exciting.

681
00:36:19,567 --> 00:36:21,066
That's because you're famous
by association.

682
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,200
Ryan Gosling once ordered
a cold brew at the café

683
00:36:23,333 --> 00:36:26,033
and I'm basically
a D-list celeb now.

684
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:28,600
Maybe something in theatre
is what I'm meant to do.

685
00:36:28,734 --> 00:36:30,867
Now I really wish we had
a liquor license

686
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,900
so I could pour you
a celebratory drink.

687
00:36:33,033 --> 00:36:34,400
Not so fast.

688
00:36:34,533 --> 00:36:36,767
I haven't even pitched
for this series yet.

689
00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:38,066
Details.

690
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,700
Have you told Piper
the good news?

691
00:36:39,834 --> 00:36:42,300
No. Last we spoke
we got into an-

692
00:36:42,433 --> 00:36:43,600
Argument.

693
00:36:43,734 --> 00:36:44,934
And we haven't spoken since.

694
00:36:45,066 --> 00:36:46,400
Well you should tell him
about your new job.

695
00:36:46,533 --> 00:36:48,600
If anything, he'll be happy
you took his advice.

696
00:36:48,734 --> 00:36:51,400
And give him the satisfaction?
I would rather-

697
00:36:51,533 --> 00:36:52,900
Not.

698
00:36:53,033 --> 00:36:54,266
I'd never hear the end of it.

699
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,734
You know how she can be.

700
00:36:55,867 --> 00:36:58,567
Always so confident she has
all the right moves.

701
00:36:58,700 --> 00:36:59,567
Uh-huh.

702
00:37:01,333 --> 00:37:02,867
Hey, do you want to picnic
tomorrow in Central Park?

703
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,934
- I'd love to.
- Great.

704
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:16,300
Austin? What are you doing here?

705
00:37:16,433 --> 00:37:17,266
What are you doing here?

706
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,667
I'm meeting Will for lunch.

707
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,500
I'm having lunch with Toby.

708
00:37:20,633 --> 00:37:21,867
They weren't planning
for the four of us...

709
00:37:24,567 --> 00:37:26,033
"Hey guys, sorry,
can't make it.

710
00:37:26,166 --> 00:37:27,834
"Busy at the café.

711
00:37:27,967 --> 00:37:30,367
"Have fun without us."

712
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:33,300
He could have at least tried
to make that sound convincing.

713
00:37:34,433 --> 00:37:35,700
Austin and Piper?

714
00:37:35,834 --> 00:37:37,800
Toby sends you both
the harvest lunch.

715
00:37:37,934 --> 00:37:39,934
Um, thank you?

716
00:37:41,633 --> 00:37:42,767
Thanks.

717
00:37:44,900 --> 00:37:46,533
We don't have to do this.

718
00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:48,300
Nope, we do not.

719
00:37:50,734 --> 00:37:52,300
There is a lot of cheese.

720
00:37:52,433 --> 00:37:56,934
- What about charcuterie?
- Yep. Oh! Fig jam.

721
00:37:57,066 --> 00:38:00,533
It would be a chance
at a new experience.

722
00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:02,233
It is always nice here
in autumn.

723
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:05,433
I'm sorry, did you
just compliment the city?

724
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:09,433
What has gotten into you?

725
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,233
You never mentioned
you draw.

726
00:38:13,367 --> 00:38:15,567
You never asked.

727
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:16,767
Can I see?

728
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:24,667
These are seriously great.

729
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:28,400
You ever consider pursuing art
as your dream?

730
00:38:28,533 --> 00:38:29,734
No, absolutely not.

731
00:38:29,867 --> 00:38:31,233
It's just something I do
for fun.

732
00:38:31,367 --> 00:38:33,767
You ever wanted to make
something more of it?

733
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:37,000
My parents scrimped and saved
to send me to college

734
00:38:37,133 --> 00:38:38,900
and in return,
the expectation was

735
00:38:39,033 --> 00:38:40,533
that I would take over
the family business

736
00:38:40,667 --> 00:38:44,500
or at least secure a practical
job in a practical career.

737
00:38:44,633 --> 00:38:46,433
But art is a career.

738
00:38:46,567 --> 00:38:48,700
Growing up, if a career
wasn't stable

739
00:38:48,834 --> 00:38:51,166
then it wasn't a
legitimate career.

740
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,567
Choosing something creative
was throwing your life away.

741
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:55,934
You know, there's good sense
in that.

742
00:38:56,066 --> 00:38:59,767
Art is fun but it's really
difficult to make a living

743
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:01,767
drawing sketches.

744
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:04,000
Well, you're very talented.

745
00:39:05,867 --> 00:39:07,867
I call dibs on all
the stinky cheese.

746
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,633
Listen, I feel like I owe you
an apology.

747
00:39:14,767 --> 00:39:16,967
I'm sorry for the way
I acted last week.

748
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:20,967
No, I... You were right.
I was jumping from job to job.

749
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,300
No, you were just testing
out the waters.

750
00:39:23,433 --> 00:39:27,133
I just hadn't found anything
that felt right.

751
00:39:27,266 --> 00:39:28,900
And I didn't want to waste
any more time.

752
00:39:29,033 --> 00:39:31,400
I mean, everyone my age already
had their life figured out

753
00:39:31,533 --> 00:39:34,900
and I'm just at
the starting line.

754
00:39:35,033 --> 00:39:37,500
What's that advice about
everyone running their own race

755
00:39:37,633 --> 00:39:39,400
at their own pace?

756
00:39:39,533 --> 00:39:40,633
Not the advice you want
to hear

757
00:39:40,767 --> 00:39:43,233
when you're on a
four-week deadline.

758
00:39:43,367 --> 00:39:46,834
But, I did actually accept a
full-time job as an assistant

759
00:39:46,967 --> 00:39:49,500
to a famous Broadway actress.

760
00:39:49,633 --> 00:39:53,600
Wow. That's great.
Piper, I'm so happy for you.

761
00:39:53,734 --> 00:39:54,667
Thanks.

762
00:39:55,734 --> 00:39:57,934
And I owe you an apology too.

763
00:39:58,066 --> 00:39:59,834
I shouldn't have butted in
on your writing.

764
00:39:59,967 --> 00:40:01,734
No, I'm glad you did.

765
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:04,600
I took your advice and
reached out to a publisher.

766
00:40:04,734 --> 00:40:06,834
She wants to hear my pitch
for the book as a series

767
00:40:06,967 --> 00:40:07,834
in a couple weeks.

768
00:40:07,967 --> 00:40:09,734
That's incredible.

769
00:40:09,867 --> 00:40:11,266
I owe it all to you.

770
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,967
So what is this book about?

771
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,800
Well, it's about a squirrel
named Nathan

772
00:40:16,934 --> 00:40:19,667
who finds an oak tree
with magical acorns

773
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,600
that grant wishes.

774
00:40:21,734 --> 00:40:23,967
His first wish is to become
a movie star.

775
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:27,300
Then, to bat a home run
at the world series

776
00:40:27,433 --> 00:40:30,900
and then to become the first
squirrel to walk on the moon.

777
00:40:31,033 --> 00:40:33,266
He doesn't have friends
so his wishes wind up

778
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,600
being a way he keeps
himself company.

779
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:38,600
Am I boring you?

780
00:40:38,734 --> 00:40:39,667
No, no, no.

781
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,066
No. I'm listening.
Keep going.

782
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,734
So, for the series, I was
thinking that maybe

783
00:40:43,867 --> 00:40:45,800
another animal finds
the oak tree too.

784
00:40:45,934 --> 00:40:47,633
A blue jay.

785
00:40:47,767 --> 00:40:50,100
The squirrel and the blue jay
are initially rivals

786
00:40:50,233 --> 00:40:52,266
but then they eventually become
best friends

787
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,233
and go on adventures together.

788
00:40:57,066 --> 00:41:00,066
But I can see it's not
as engaging as I had hoped.

789
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,000
Maybe it needs a new direction.

790
00:41:02,133 --> 00:41:04,734
No. I think... I think
the direction is perfect.

791
00:41:04,867 --> 00:41:06,166
Kind of like this?

792
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Wow.

793
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,400
This is even better
than I imagined.

794
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:20,333
I always pictured it
in the summer

795
00:41:20,467 --> 00:41:24,400
but it's better in the fall.
It's beautiful.

796
00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:26,500
What?

797
00:41:26,633 --> 00:41:27,867
Nothing, I just-

798
00:41:30,867 --> 00:41:33,533
It's my mother.
I'll call her back.

799
00:41:33,667 --> 00:41:35,400
No, answer it.
It's your mom.

800
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:38,967
Hi, Mom.

801
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:40,800
Austin, swing by for dinner
on Friday.

802
00:41:40,934 --> 00:41:44,033
I want to hear how your job
is going.

803
00:41:44,166 --> 00:41:46,567
Alright, see ya then.

804
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:48,533
Dinner with your mom.
That sounds fun.

805
00:41:48,667 --> 00:41:50,200
The evening's menu
will include catering

806
00:41:50,333 --> 00:41:52,000
from my mother's favorite restaurant

807
00:41:52,133 --> 00:41:54,166
and parental disappointment.

808
00:41:56,100 --> 00:41:57,633
I'm sure it's not gonna be
that bad.

809
00:41:57,767 --> 00:41:59,533
Why don't you come and see
for yourself?

810
00:41:59,667 --> 00:42:01,200
No, no.

811
00:42:01,333 --> 00:42:02,433
Come on. You're the one
who's always talking about

812
00:42:02,567 --> 00:42:03,967
trying new experiences.

813
00:42:04,100 --> 00:42:06,567
Yeah, like a picnic
in Central Park.

814
00:42:06,700 --> 00:42:10,433
Not dinner at a famous broadcast
journalist's home.

815
00:42:10,567 --> 00:42:12,433
It'll be a chance to see
New York success

816
00:42:12,567 --> 00:42:14,233
up close and personal.

817
00:42:14,367 --> 00:42:16,967
Dine with the hoi polloi
in Brooklyn Heights.

818
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:19,767
Come on, at the very least
it'll be a free meal

819
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:21,100
and a chance to see

820
00:42:21,233 --> 00:42:23,100
what a famous person's
bathroom looks like.

821
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,800
Well, when you put it that way.

822
00:42:38,934 --> 00:42:40,800
Austin.

823
00:42:40,934 --> 00:42:43,166
This is the third time in as
many weeks that you're late.

824
00:42:43,300 --> 00:42:44,767
I'm not really much
of a morning person.

825
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:46,300
I'm not talking about
when you get here,

826
00:42:46,433 --> 00:42:47,967
although you are usually late.

827
00:42:48,100 --> 00:42:49,333
Your last few assignments have
been turned in past deadline

828
00:42:49,467 --> 00:42:50,867
which puts a squeeze
on copy edit.

829
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,467
I shouldn't even have
to explain this to you.

830
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,200
Ok. Faster turnarounds,
you got it.

831
00:42:54,333 --> 00:42:55,467
Even when it's on time,

832
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,467
your work is below
what you're capable of.

833
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,166
It's clear your heart's
not in this.

834
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:00,767
I have to let you go.

835
00:43:10,533 --> 00:43:13,333
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
La, la, la, la...

836
00:43:16,867 --> 00:43:21,834
La... La, la, la, la, la, la...

837
00:43:23,033 --> 00:43:25,066
Just answer it!

838
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,200
Sorry.

839
00:43:27,667 --> 00:43:28,700
Hello?

840
00:43:28,834 --> 00:43:30,433
Hi, Piper.
It's Barbara.

841
00:43:30,567 --> 00:43:33,100
We have a new job listing,
it starts tomorrow.

842
00:43:33,233 --> 00:43:37,900
Hi, Barbara. I actually took
a full-time position.

843
00:43:38,033 --> 00:43:40,934
Oh. Well, that's great.

844
00:43:41,066 --> 00:43:42,834
I know how important it was
for you to find a job

845
00:43:42,967 --> 00:43:44,266
that was a good fit.

846
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:45,900
La, la, la, la...

847
00:43:46,033 --> 00:43:49,367
Well it looks like you
finally found your calling.

848
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:51,700
Yes. Yes, I have.

849
00:43:51,834 --> 00:43:53,500
I really appreciate
all your hard work.

850
00:43:53,633 --> 00:43:54,767
Thank you so much.

851
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,066
La, la, la, la...

852
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,066
Sorry about that.

853
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,900
It's fine.

854
00:44:04,033 --> 00:44:05,467
You'll need to get your affairs
in order anyway

855
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,767
before we go on tour.

856
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:08,834
Uh, on tour?

857
00:44:08,967 --> 00:44:12,834
Yes. My agent called yesterday
with an offer I couldn't refuse.

858
00:44:12,967 --> 00:44:15,266
Playing Maria in
the Sound of Music.

859
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,767
Like a tour outside
of New York?

860
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:20,567
That is generally what happens
when you go on tour.

861
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:23,467
And how long would that be?

862
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:24,834
Three months.

863
00:44:24,967 --> 00:44:26,467
But then, it's off to
the West End in London

864
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,433
for the run of the new
Andrew Lloyd Webber.

865
00:44:28,567 --> 00:44:31,967
That is a fantastic opportunity.

866
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:35,834
You know, see the country,
travel abroad...

867
00:44:35,967 --> 00:44:37,934
Why do I get the feeling you're
trying to convince yourself?

868
00:44:38,066 --> 00:44:40,333
No, no that is...
that is not it.

869
00:44:40,467 --> 00:44:42,300
I thought the world of theatre
was what you wanted?

870
00:44:42,433 --> 00:44:46,333
I guess I just hadn't really
considered all of the details.

871
00:44:46,467 --> 00:44:49,400
Well, I couldn't forgive myself
if I stood in the way of you

872
00:44:49,533 --> 00:44:52,066
becoming the person
that you were meant to be.

873
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,066
What does that mean?

874
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,400
I need someone by my side
who's lifeblood is the theatre.

875
00:44:57,533 --> 00:45:00,834
It's just not you.
I'm sorry, Piper.

876
00:45:00,967 --> 00:45:02,233
I'm going to have
to let you go.

877
00:45:02,367 --> 00:45:03,200
But... but, what?

878
00:45:03,333 --> 00:45:04,967
Oh, don't look so sad.

879
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:07,900
Think of this as your
fantastic opportunity.

880
00:45:08,033 --> 00:45:10,967
A chance for you to discover
your true calling.

881
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,133
Yes, yes, it is. Yes.

882
00:45:16,266 --> 00:45:18,300
La, la, la, la, la, la...

883
00:45:20,867 --> 00:45:23,033
It seems like we both
got kicked to the curb today.

884
00:45:23,166 --> 00:45:25,200
Not our finest hour.

885
00:45:25,333 --> 00:45:27,333
I haven't got a foothold
in anywhere.

886
00:45:27,467 --> 00:45:29,567
I have less than a month left
in my sublet

887
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:31,734
and I feel like I'm back
at square one.

888
00:45:31,867 --> 00:45:34,033
Why didn't you want to go
on tour with Misty?

889
00:45:34,166 --> 00:45:36,200
I guess it was a great opportunity

890
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:37,700
but all of my instincts
were telling me

891
00:45:37,834 --> 00:45:39,000
it was the wrong choice.

892
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:42,834
Hm, my dad.

893
00:45:44,133 --> 00:45:45,667
Don't want to answer?

894
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,000
And let him know
that I was fired?

895
00:45:48,133 --> 00:45:50,066
I'd would never hear
the end of it.

896
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,467
Sometimes I feel like my
parents care a little too much.

897
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,200
I wouldn't have minded
that kind of attention
growing up here.

898
00:45:56,333 --> 00:45:59,700
What was that like?
You never mentioned your dad.

899
00:45:59,834 --> 00:46:01,533
My dad and I haven't had much of
a relationship

900
00:46:01,667 --> 00:46:03,400
since the divorce.

901
00:46:03,533 --> 00:46:06,734
Another consequence
of the successful life.

902
00:46:06,867 --> 00:46:08,734
So, what happened?

903
00:46:08,867 --> 00:46:10,200
My dad was a segment producer

904
00:46:10,333 --> 00:46:12,400
and my mom was just
a junior anchor.

905
00:46:12,533 --> 00:46:14,233
Network wanted to give her,
her own hour

906
00:46:14,367 --> 00:46:16,400
but they didn't want
my dad involved.

907
00:46:16,533 --> 00:46:19,767
She took the job and that became
a running theme in my life.

908
00:46:19,900 --> 00:46:22,066
Her choosing work
over everything else.

909
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,734
I'm sorry you went
through that.

910
00:46:24,867 --> 00:46:28,600
So, we won't be telling
my mom I got fired either.

911
00:46:28,734 --> 00:46:29,967
Deal.

912
00:46:32,734 --> 00:46:35,533
When I covered the '92 Olympics,
Christie said to me

913
00:46:35,667 --> 00:46:39,433
"I have faced an audience
of millions of people

914
00:46:39,567 --> 00:46:42,233
"waiting for me to fall,
but nothing compared

915
00:46:42,367 --> 00:46:44,233
"to facing an interview
with you."

916
00:46:45,867 --> 00:46:47,700
Imagine that?

917
00:46:47,834 --> 00:46:51,367
A gold medalist and she was
nervous to sit down with me.

918
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,600
You have had such
amazing experiences.

919
00:46:55,734 --> 00:46:58,934
I have and preparing for this
retrospective has been quite

920
00:46:59,066 --> 00:47:02,100
the jaunt down memory lane.

921
00:47:02,233 --> 00:47:05,667
But I feel like I've been doing
the talking all evening.

922
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,200
Maybe because you have.

923
00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:09,533
Oh, honey.

924
00:47:09,667 --> 00:47:13,500
You know I read your piece on
the piano teacher in Brooklyn.

925
00:47:13,633 --> 00:47:15,333
It was good.

926
00:47:15,467 --> 00:47:20,300
I thought it could maybe use
a little more, um, pizazz maybe?

927
00:47:21,433 --> 00:47:23,000
Well, I

928
00:47:26,900 --> 00:47:28,266
Is that the paper?

929
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,200
I better take this.
Excuse me.

930
00:47:35,100 --> 00:47:39,834
It's a relief seeing him
marching forward with his life.

931
00:47:39,967 --> 00:47:43,467
Now if only I could figure out
what to do with my life.

932
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,300
I feel like I'm just bobbing
along kind of directionless.

933
00:47:48,433 --> 00:47:50,700
You know, I have something
for you to see.

934
00:47:51,834 --> 00:47:53,200
Come with me.

935
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,500
This is what I wanted
to show you.

936
00:48:00,633 --> 00:48:04,367
This is the pen that I used
to write my first article.

937
00:48:04,500 --> 00:48:07,600
The one that kicked off
my career.

938
00:48:07,734 --> 00:48:11,867
Now, this is back in the day of
carbon paper and fax machines.

939
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,700
What's a fax machine?

940
00:48:15,367 --> 00:48:16,266
It was a joke.

941
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,767
You have a sparkle, Piper.

942
00:48:19,900 --> 00:48:22,867
And you know this city will try
its best to dull that,

943
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,734
so, don't let it.

944
00:48:25,867 --> 00:48:28,934
You know, my family wasn't
very thrilled

945
00:48:29,066 --> 00:48:32,000
that I left our little town
in Ohio.

946
00:48:32,133 --> 00:48:35,567
And they figured that I would
fail and come running home

947
00:48:35,700 --> 00:48:37,600
with my tail between my legs.

948
00:48:37,734 --> 00:48:42,033
But once they saw my first
article in print,

949
00:48:42,166 --> 00:48:45,500
they saw something tangible
and they started to understand.

950
00:48:45,633 --> 00:48:48,367
My family is the exact
same way.

951
00:48:48,500 --> 00:48:51,533
They think that I don't know
what I'm doing.

952
00:48:51,667 --> 00:48:53,700
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe they're right.

953
00:48:53,834 --> 00:48:56,066
Maybe I'm crazy for chasing
after a dream

954
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,600
that I don't even know
what it is yet.

955
00:49:00,734 --> 00:49:03,433
How did you figure out that
journalism was your passion?

956
00:49:03,567 --> 00:49:06,066
I took it as an elective
in college.

957
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,500
And from my very first lecture,
I was hooked.

958
00:49:10,633 --> 00:49:12,567
I'm starting to think I'm never
gonna have that feeling.

959
00:49:12,700 --> 00:49:15,333
Trust in yourself, Piper.

960
00:49:15,467 --> 00:49:19,233
Nothing is more important
for a woman in this world.

961
00:49:19,367 --> 00:49:22,800
Especially for a woman looking
to find her way.

962
00:49:22,934 --> 00:49:24,934
It can be hard to resist
the pressures

963
00:49:25,066 --> 00:49:27,600
of what other people
want for us.

964
00:49:27,734 --> 00:49:30,166
But we must double down
on ourselves

965
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:34,734
and never expect others
to hand us what we want.

966
00:49:34,867 --> 00:49:36,500
So, remember one thing.

967
00:49:36,633 --> 00:49:41,333
Always, always be your
own champion.

968
00:49:47,533 --> 00:49:51,967
Thank you for dinner, Mom.
Top-notch selection as always.

969
00:49:52,100 --> 00:49:55,300
They're going to be holding the
retrospective at the restaurant.

970
00:49:55,433 --> 00:49:57,934
Piper, you must come.

971
00:49:58,066 --> 00:50:00,333
That would be great
and thank you again

972
00:50:00,467 --> 00:50:02,800
for the wonderful dinner.

973
00:50:02,934 --> 00:50:05,433
I really love this painting,
by the way.

974
00:50:05,567 --> 00:50:09,633
The texture and composition
really balance the vivid hues.

975
00:50:09,767 --> 00:50:12,266
Most people just say
"pretty colors."

976
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,967
Well, I'm friends with
the gallery owner.

977
00:50:16,100 --> 00:50:18,300
Piper's a wonderful
artist herself.

978
00:50:18,433 --> 00:50:21,333
I... I just doodle sometimes,
that's all.

979
00:50:21,467 --> 00:50:23,266
Maybe you should introduce her
to your friend.

980
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,567
He might know of
an open position.

981
00:50:24,700 --> 00:50:25,967
I don't... I don't want
to impose.

982
00:50:26,100 --> 00:50:27,400
Well, I'd be happy to.

983
00:50:28,900 --> 00:50:31,600
I would really appreciate that.
Thank you.

984
00:50:31,734 --> 00:50:34,333
My pleasure.
It was lovely meeting you.

985
00:50:34,467 --> 00:50:36,734
So lovely meeting you.

986
00:50:36,867 --> 00:50:38,066
Thank you for dinner, Mom.

987
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,667
- Alright, hon. Good night.
- Good night.

988
00:50:45,734 --> 00:50:47,834
That wasn't The Chronicle
calling, was it?

989
00:50:47,967 --> 00:50:49,066
Publisher, I told her my idea

990
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:50,967
for the rough shape
of the series.

991
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:52,300
I pitch it in 10 days.

992
00:50:52,433 --> 00:50:55,000
- Wow, that's soon, isn't it?
- Yeah, it is.

993
00:50:55,133 --> 00:50:58,300
I better get home and put
my nose to the grindstone.

994
00:50:58,433 --> 00:50:59,767
Since we're already
in Brooklyn,

995
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:02,667
I figured we could take
a little detour first.

996
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,834
If you're going to be
a real New Yorker,

997
00:51:04,967 --> 00:51:06,633
there's something you need
to see.

998
00:51:12,734 --> 00:51:15,900
ful music]

999
00:51:16,033 --> 00:51:17,700
This is incredible!

1000
00:51:18,734 --> 00:51:20,734
For once, I actually
agree with you.

1001
00:51:21,867 --> 00:51:24,266
This is why I came
to New York City.

1002
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:28,266
It's just so alive
with possibility.

1003
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,734
Traffic jams
and tiny apartments.

1004
00:51:30,867 --> 00:51:31,800
Stop.

1005
00:51:33,667 --> 00:51:35,633
Just take it all in.

1006
00:51:36,934 --> 00:51:40,467
There is nothing else like
this view in the whole world.

1007
00:51:42,934 --> 00:51:46,433
It's unique.
I give you that.

1008
00:51:46,567 --> 00:51:48,100
It's like a dream.

1009
00:51:48,233 --> 00:51:53,066
Life and movement and energy.
It makes me want to draw.

1010
00:51:56,533 --> 00:51:58,066
Makes me want to eat.

1011
00:52:00,467 --> 00:52:01,867
Are you hungry?

1012
00:52:03,834 --> 00:52:06,433
- I can go for a bite.
- I'm starving.

1013
00:52:06,567 --> 00:52:09,533
Of course you are.
Do you have some place in mind?

1014
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:11,867
Come with me.

1015
00:52:18,266 --> 00:52:19,433
Thank you.

1016
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,834
Now this is a real taste
of New York.

1017
00:52:31,066 --> 00:52:34,166
That veggie dog does look
pretty good.

1018
00:52:34,300 --> 00:52:36,166
And I am kind of hungry.

1019
00:52:36,300 --> 00:52:37,967
Who wouldn't be after a dinner
of two lettuce leaves

1020
00:52:38,100 --> 00:52:40,467
a celery dish that
wouldn't feed a rabbit.

1021
00:52:42,133 --> 00:52:45,834
It was um... refreshing.

1022
00:52:45,967 --> 00:52:47,633
Here you go, try that.

1023
00:52:47,767 --> 00:52:49,100
Oh! Sorry. Sorry.

1024
00:52:49,233 --> 00:52:50,200
Sorry.

1025
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:57,767
Woah.

1026
00:52:59,100 --> 00:53:00,367
Ok, don't make fun.

1027
00:53:00,500 --> 00:53:03,367
I'm not. Not at all.

1028
00:53:09,066 --> 00:53:11,100
You're really talented.

1029
00:53:11,233 --> 00:53:12,700
Ok.

1030
00:53:12,834 --> 00:53:14,333
I mean it.

1031
00:53:20,667 --> 00:53:24,333
Piper. I want you to do
the illustrations

1032
00:53:24,467 --> 00:53:26,200
for the book pitch.

1033
00:53:26,333 --> 00:53:27,567
What?

1034
00:53:27,700 --> 00:53:29,867
I can't believe I didn't realize
this sooner.

1035
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,667
I mean, look at these drawings.
They're fun and imaginative.

1036
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,000
You'd be perfect
for the book.

1037
00:53:35,133 --> 00:53:38,233
That's a crazy idea and also

1038
00:53:38,367 --> 00:53:40,734
I couldn't possibly illustrate
an entire book in two weeks.

1039
00:53:40,867 --> 00:53:42,266
Just sketches

1040
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,400
for the key moments of
the presentation, that's it.

1041
00:53:44,533 --> 00:53:46,500
Well, what if they reject
your book

1042
00:53:46,633 --> 00:53:48,066
because they don't like
my work?

1043
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,433
This is your one shot.

1044
00:53:49,567 --> 00:53:52,266
You should really find
a professional artist.

1045
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,734
Maybe you are a
professional artist.

1046
00:53:54,867 --> 00:53:57,767
Maybe this is exactly
what you've been looking for.

1047
00:53:57,900 --> 00:54:00,934
I know you feel the need to have
a steady job that's dependable,

1048
00:54:01,066 --> 00:54:03,233
but you've tried
everything else out.

1049
00:54:03,367 --> 00:54:05,166
Why don't you try
doing something

1050
00:54:05,300 --> 00:54:06,834
you actually love doing?

1051
00:54:07,934 --> 00:54:10,433
That is very flattering.

1052
00:54:10,567 --> 00:54:14,266
But my time in New York
is running out

1053
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,333
and I really need to focus
on my long term.

1054
00:54:18,467 --> 00:54:20,233
Doesn't mean you have
to stop looking.

1055
00:54:20,367 --> 00:54:23,266
Come on, this will be like
a fun little side thing.

1056
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:24,400
Come on.

1057
00:54:26,533 --> 00:54:29,100
Wait a second,
do you hear that?

1058
00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:31,734
What?

1059
00:54:31,867 --> 00:54:32,967
That sound, you
can't hear that?

1060
00:54:33,100 --> 00:54:34,800
No...

1061
00:54:34,934 --> 00:54:37,066
It's adventure calling.

1062
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,500
Are you going to answer it
or not?

1063
00:54:42,900 --> 00:54:44,066
Come on.

1064
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,133
You know, I, uh, I think
I hear it now.

1065
00:54:51,266 --> 00:54:52,900
What do you say?

1066
00:54:53,033 --> 00:54:54,333
You and me.

1067
00:54:56,767 --> 00:54:58,633
Ok. I'll do it.

1068
00:54:58,767 --> 00:55:00,800
Just for fun.

1069
00:55:02,667 --> 00:55:03,734
For fun.

1070
00:55:18,033 --> 00:55:21,834
"I'd love to meet at 11:00,
Arnold."

1071
00:55:21,967 --> 00:55:24,367
Wonderful, see you then.

1072
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:25,834
Ok.

1073
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:31,834
Hey, Mom and Dad.

1074
00:55:31,967 --> 00:55:34,166
Piper! We haven't heard from you
in so long.

1075
00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:36,066
I know, I've just been
really busy.

1076
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,000
Look, I actually gotta go.

1077
00:55:38,133 --> 00:55:40,533
Wait, didn't you forget
something yesterday?

1078
00:55:40,667 --> 00:55:44,133
Oh, it was your anniversary!
I completely forgot.

1079
00:55:44,266 --> 00:55:46,700
I've just been so busy
and I was working yesterday

1080
00:55:46,834 --> 00:55:49,200
and then I had a dinner
and that ran late.

1081
00:55:49,333 --> 00:55:50,667
Sorry.

1082
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,734
It... it's ok, honey.
We know you're busy.

1083
00:55:52,867 --> 00:55:56,400
I'm sure that job of yours has
you running all over the city.

1084
00:55:56,533 --> 00:55:58,834
Actually, that job
didn't end up panning out.

1085
00:55:58,967 --> 00:55:59,967
You got fired?

1086
00:56:00,166 --> 00:56:01,567
It wasn't like that.

1087
00:56:01,700 --> 00:56:04,066
Don't worry. I'll work
something else out.

1088
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,633
You keep saying that and
it keeps not working out.

1089
00:56:06,767 --> 00:56:08,700
You had a perfectly good job
at the family business

1090
00:56:08,834 --> 00:56:10,066
and it wasn't good enough.

1091
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,233
Dad, that is not fair.

1092
00:56:12,367 --> 00:56:14,734
It's not that it wasn't
good enough,

1093
00:56:14,867 --> 00:56:18,100
I just need to find a life
that's right for me.

1094
00:56:18,233 --> 00:56:20,734
And I hope someday
you can support that.

1095
00:56:20,867 --> 00:56:23,133
But I really gotta go.
Love you.

1096
00:56:26,166 --> 00:56:29,266
They just miss you
and care about you a lot.

1097
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,100
Well, if they want to show
that they care

1098
00:56:31,233 --> 00:56:33,700
they should support me
being out here.

1099
00:56:33,834 --> 00:56:35,300
You know, when I told
my parents

1100
00:56:35,433 --> 00:56:38,934
I was moving to New York,
they didn't take it well.

1101
00:56:39,066 --> 00:56:41,700
And then, when I came out
in the same conversation,

1102
00:56:41,834 --> 00:56:43,467
they really didn't
take it well.

1103
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:44,867
But that didn't stop me
from building

1104
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,100
a life I wanted for myself.

1105
00:56:47,233 --> 00:56:50,266
And, you know, eventually
they came around.

1106
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,533
So, you shouldn't let anything
stop you either.

1107
00:56:53,667 --> 00:56:59,133
Thank you for sharing that.
I won't.

1108
00:56:59,266 --> 00:57:03,166
You know, this café really
became a home for us

1109
00:57:03,300 --> 00:57:07,500
once we started to give it
a personal touch.

1110
00:57:07,633 --> 00:57:11,133
So, now it's your turn
to make a contribution.

1111
00:57:11,266 --> 00:57:14,200
I don't have anything
to contribute.

1112
00:57:14,333 --> 00:57:15,433
Of course you do.

1113
00:57:15,567 --> 00:57:17,600
Your art would look great
on the wall.

1114
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:26,367
There was this one little sketch
I was kind of working on.

1115
00:57:27,934 --> 00:57:29,266
No way.

1116
00:57:31,100 --> 00:57:32,200
The café?

1117
00:57:34,166 --> 00:57:36,300
Oh. I love it.

1118
00:57:36,433 --> 00:57:37,834
We'll get this framed right up

1119
00:57:37,967 --> 00:57:40,266
and then this place can start
to feel like yours too.

1120
00:57:48,900 --> 00:57:51,033
Well, Patricia said
I would enjoy meeting you.

1121
00:57:51,166 --> 00:57:55,266
She was right.
You're a breath of fresh air.

1122
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:56,867
I'd love to hire you
as a greeter.

1123
00:57:57,900 --> 00:57:59,033
Really?

1124
00:57:59,166 --> 00:58:00,500
It's only part time
and I know it's beneath

1125
00:58:00,633 --> 00:58:03,633
your experience level but
it's yours if you want it.

1126
00:58:03,767 --> 00:58:06,233
That would be wonderful.

1127
00:58:11,567 --> 00:58:13,400
It's just a greeting position

1128
00:58:13,533 --> 00:58:15,000
but I'm really looking
forward to it.

1129
00:58:15,133 --> 00:58:16,667
It's a foot in the door.

1130
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,066
It's oddly comfortable
wedged in there.

1131
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:21,667
How was your day?

1132
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,934
Spent anxiously anticipating
your thoughts on my book.

1133
00:58:25,066 --> 00:58:26,467
Oh my gosh.
It was great.

1134
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,300
Truly.

1135
00:58:28,433 --> 00:58:32,800
It was funny and imaginative
but what I really loved the most

1136
00:58:32,934 --> 00:58:35,300
was your point of view
on loneliness.

1137
00:58:35,433 --> 00:58:37,133
Really?

1138
00:58:37,266 --> 00:58:39,800
About how all the wishes in
the world don't mean anything

1139
00:58:39,934 --> 00:58:42,767
if you don't have anybody
to share it with.

1140
00:58:42,900 --> 00:58:44,333
I have so many ideas
for some sketches.

1141
00:58:44,467 --> 00:58:45,900
I'm feeling very inspired.

1142
00:58:46,033 --> 00:58:47,967
Me too. I've been
writing up a storm.

1143
00:58:48,100 --> 00:58:49,900
Can't wait to show you.

1144
00:58:50,033 --> 00:58:52,100
Do you, um, you want
to meet up tonight?

1145
00:58:52,233 --> 00:58:53,500
Definitely.

1146
00:58:55,567 --> 00:58:57,400
Ooh, which one of these
will best set the mood

1147
00:58:57,533 --> 00:58:59,333
for toiling away
by candlelight?

1148
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:03,867
What? I'm a writer,
you're an artist,

1149
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,467
goes with the territory.

1150
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,834
Hey, I know you're joking,

1151
00:59:07,967 --> 00:59:11,333
but don't underestimate
the power of a good candle.

1152
00:59:11,467 --> 00:59:13,900
I would never joke about
Perfectly Persimmon.

1153
00:59:15,834 --> 00:59:17,467
It's, um, refreshing.

1154
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,400
Eh, not the word I'd use.

1155
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:21,667
Oooh...

1156
00:59:23,867 --> 00:59:26,700
Apple pie.
Mm-mm-mm.

1157
00:59:26,834 --> 00:59:27,900
And that is a classic.

1158
00:59:30,033 --> 00:59:32,233
You can have that one
all to yourself.

1159
00:59:32,367 --> 00:59:38,066
Hm. What about Autumn
Woodland?

1160
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,300
Now that's uh,
that's perfect.

1161
00:59:42,767 --> 00:59:45,467
Oh wow.
That is perfect.

1162
00:59:46,834 --> 00:59:49,066
I um, I should, um, get back
to the gallery.

1163
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:50,867
My shift starts soon.

1164
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,533
Right, yeah, yeah,
foot in the door.

1165
00:59:52,667 --> 00:59:55,033
You just gotta break down the
hinges and walk right through.

1166
00:59:55,166 --> 00:59:58,500
Yes. Right, exactly.
I... I will see you tonight.

1167
00:59:58,633 --> 00:59:59,900
You bet.

1168
01:00:03,533 --> 01:00:05,500
I will take one of those,
thank you.

1169
01:00:11,767 --> 01:00:13,367
What do you think?

1170
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:15,734
Well I'm not usually one
for abstract art.

1171
01:00:15,867 --> 01:00:18,867
I can never tell what
it's supposed to mean.

1172
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,367
I used to think
the same thing

1173
01:00:21,500 --> 01:00:24,900
but then I realized
that's what makes it unique.

1174
01:00:25,033 --> 01:00:27,834
Like, where the brushstrokes meet.

1175
01:00:27,967 --> 01:00:29,967
What does that make
you think of?

1176
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:32,233
The horizon?

1177
01:00:32,367 --> 01:00:35,033
And those bursts of color?

1178
01:00:35,166 --> 01:00:38,400
Two people watching a sunset.

1179
01:00:38,533 --> 01:00:41,400
I love it.
A bit of romance in the air.

1180
01:00:43,300 --> 01:00:45,867
What do you see?

1181
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,700
A woman looking at the future
version of herself.

1182
01:00:50,834 --> 01:00:54,800
At what she could become if
she were brave enough to try.

1183
01:00:59,033 --> 01:01:01,033
Well done, Piper.

1184
01:01:01,166 --> 01:01:03,700
I've been trying to sell
this piece for ages.

1185
01:01:03,834 --> 01:01:05,567
You have a real eye for art.

1186
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:08,066
I was just describing
what I saw.

1187
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:12,100
Well, I see someone who just
made 10 percent commission.

1188
01:01:12,233 --> 01:01:14,100
That's not necessary.

1189
01:01:14,233 --> 01:01:15,867
You earned it.

1190
01:02:39,266 --> 01:02:40,200
Are you sure you don't want

1191
01:02:40,333 --> 01:02:42,433
to rethink illustration
as a career?

1192
01:02:42,567 --> 01:02:44,166
You're really good.

1193
01:02:44,300 --> 01:02:45,266
Thanks.

1194
01:02:46,934 --> 01:02:48,367
Wow!

1195
01:02:48,500 --> 01:02:50,000
It's the first time

1196
01:02:50,133 --> 01:02:53,333
you haven't shrugged off a
compliment about your art.

1197
01:02:53,467 --> 01:02:57,500
I have to admit, I really love
creating these illustrations.

1198
01:02:57,633 --> 01:02:58,834
I wake up every morning

1199
01:02:58,967 --> 01:03:02,166
and I can't wait to start
working on them.

1200
01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:06,100
And, um, you can keep
the compliments coming.

1201
01:03:06,233 --> 01:03:08,400
You can say it again.

1202
01:03:10,166 --> 01:03:11,500
You're really good.

1203
01:03:11,633 --> 01:03:14,367
And again.

1204
01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:18,066
You're really, really good.

1205
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,367
And I can't imagine my book
without you.

1206
01:03:22,500 --> 01:03:24,767
You're really good too,
you know that?

1207
01:03:33,066 --> 01:03:34,667
It's... it's getting late.

1208
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:37,667
I should...
I should probably get going.

1209
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:39,066
Right, yeah.

1210
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,367
Yeah.

1211
01:03:44,734 --> 01:03:45,934
I'll uh...

1212
01:03:48,233 --> 01:03:49,900
- Good night.
- Yeah, good night.

1213
01:03:50,033 --> 01:03:51,000
Yeah.

1214
01:03:52,867 --> 01:03:53,934
Ok.

1215
01:03:54,967 --> 01:03:56,667
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.

1216
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,333
Uh, where's the portfolio?

1217
01:04:15,133 --> 01:04:16,567
And where are the backup
flash cards?

1218
01:04:16,700 --> 01:04:18,867
- Oh, I threw them out.
- What?

1219
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,533
Just kidding.
Just breathe.

1220
01:04:21,667 --> 01:04:22,700
You're gonna be great.

1221
01:04:22,834 --> 01:04:24,533
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

1222
01:04:24,667 --> 01:04:28,033
Just go in there and invite her
into the world of your story.

1223
01:04:28,166 --> 01:04:29,800
Show her the spark
that inspired you

1224
01:04:29,934 --> 01:04:31,367
and I know she'll
feel it too.

1225
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:32,967
What if she doesn't like
what she feels?

1226
01:04:33,100 --> 01:04:35,367
That's impossible because
it comes from the heart

1227
01:04:35,500 --> 01:04:36,734
and your work is strong.

1228
01:04:36,867 --> 01:04:38,633
Our work is strong

1229
01:04:38,767 --> 01:04:40,800
and I couldn't have done it
without you.

1230
01:04:40,934 --> 01:04:42,000
I'll make sure the publisher
knows that.

1231
01:04:42,133 --> 01:04:43,066
Mm.

1232
01:04:44,533 --> 01:04:46,367
Here goes nothing.

1233
01:04:46,500 --> 01:04:47,800
Here goes everything.

1234
01:04:56,166 --> 01:04:59,467
Well, Austin, we've got nothing
like it on our slate

1235
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,400
and we'd like to publish it.

1236
01:05:02,533 --> 01:05:04,100
Wow.

1237
01:05:04,233 --> 01:05:07,467
I am just going to bask in
this feeling for a moment.

1238
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,734
I'll have our contracts
department work out the details.

1239
01:05:09,867 --> 01:05:11,900
From there,
we'll discuss timeline

1240
01:05:12,033 --> 01:05:13,600
and an illustrator we can
pair you with.

1241
01:05:13,734 --> 01:05:16,934
Oh, I was planning on keeping
the original illustrator.

1242
01:05:17,066 --> 01:05:19,734
The... the one who worked on
the pitch samples, Piper Grant.

1243
01:05:19,867 --> 01:05:22,700
Her work was good,
but as a debut author,

1244
01:05:22,834 --> 01:05:23,900
we'll pair you with

1245
01:05:24,033 --> 01:05:25,367
a recognizable, established artist.

1246
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:26,567
But she, she really,

1247
01:05:26,700 --> 01:05:28,433
she really brought
these books to life.

1248
01:05:28,567 --> 01:05:30,033
Her work is perfect
for the book.

1249
01:05:30,166 --> 01:05:32,633
The choice of illustrator
is the publisher's decision.

1250
01:05:32,767 --> 01:05:35,033
That's just how it's done.

1251
01:05:35,166 --> 01:05:37,633
I understand, but she really
is the real deal.

1252
01:05:37,767 --> 01:05:39,033
I can assure you,

1253
01:05:39,166 --> 01:05:41,767
we will find someone
whose work you will love.

1254
01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:44,200
But, for now, go. Celebrate.

1255
01:05:44,333 --> 01:05:46,233
You just sold
your first series.

1256
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:52,633
Congratulations, Austin.
Congratulations, Piper.

1257
01:05:52,767 --> 01:05:55,400
This is huge.
You've hit the big time.

1258
01:05:55,533 --> 01:05:56,600
We need to celebrate.

1259
01:05:56,734 --> 01:05:57,767
Isn't that what we're doing?

1260
01:05:57,900 --> 01:05:59,367
No, this is a pre-celebration.

1261
01:05:59,500 --> 01:06:01,033
I'm throwing you a party
next week.

1262
01:06:01,166 --> 01:06:02,667
But you're already planning
one for Piper's birthday.

1263
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,834
Well, I can party plan
multi-task, obviously.

1264
01:06:05,967 --> 01:06:08,667
So what did your mom say when
you told her about the book?

1265
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,133
Oh, I haven't told her yet.

1266
01:06:11,266 --> 01:06:12,300
Why not?

1267
01:06:12,433 --> 01:06:13,667
It seems like
perfect vindication.

1268
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,967
Well, I never told her I got
fired from the paper.

1269
01:06:16,100 --> 01:06:18,834
Austin... you gotta
come clean.

1270
01:06:18,967 --> 01:06:21,033
I promise I will soon.

1271
01:06:23,233 --> 01:06:26,600
Well, enough celebrating.
Back to work.

1272
01:06:26,734 --> 01:06:28,700
Such a party pooper.

1273
01:06:28,834 --> 01:06:30,433
I've got dough rising

1274
01:06:30,567 --> 01:06:31,800
and it's gonna take over the
kitchen if I don't get back.

1275
01:06:34,333 --> 01:06:38,800
So, um, did they say if they had
a favorite illustration?

1276
01:06:38,934 --> 01:06:40,433
Um, yeah, yeah.

1277
01:06:40,567 --> 01:06:44,300
No, I think she... I think she
liked them all.

1278
01:06:44,433 --> 01:06:47,600
I just want to say thank you
for talking me into this.

1279
01:06:47,734 --> 01:06:50,200
You really were my champion.

1280
01:06:50,333 --> 01:06:52,767
And to think...

1281
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:55,934
my calling was right there in
front of me this entire time.

1282
01:06:56,066 --> 01:06:57,166
Yeah, yeah.

1283
01:06:57,300 --> 01:06:59,333
But um, make sure
you think it through.

1284
01:06:59,467 --> 01:07:01,500
It's a big step.

1285
01:07:01,633 --> 01:07:03,367
Yeah, it is and you know,

1286
01:07:03,500 --> 01:07:07,567
it's scary to leave
the security of a 9-5,

1287
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:10,400
but I've just got to trust
that if I'm doing what I love

1288
01:07:10,533 --> 01:07:12,667
then everything else
will fall into place.

1289
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,266
So take it slow, you know?
Don't quit your day job.

1290
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:21,000
Why don't you show your boss
your work at the gallery?

1291
01:07:21,133 --> 01:07:22,767
Seriously?

1292
01:07:22,900 --> 01:07:24,367
Yeah, would be a good way for
you to get your name out there.

1293
01:07:24,500 --> 01:07:26,867
I mean, you helped sell
a book series.

1294
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,367
It's about time you started
promoting yourself.

1295
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:31,233
You're right.

1296
01:07:31,367 --> 01:07:35,367
It suddenly feels like the whole
world is opening its doors.

1297
01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:37,600
Like I've been struck by
a bolt of lightning.

1298
01:07:42,166 --> 01:07:43,500
Cheers.

1299
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,233
Piper, the paintings
for the new exhibit

1300
01:07:53,367 --> 01:07:55,000
are coming in Monday.

1301
01:07:55,133 --> 01:07:57,500
I thought you could help decide
on wall placement.

1302
01:07:57,633 --> 01:07:59,066
You have such a good eye.

1303
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:00,834
I'd be happy to help.

1304
01:08:00,967 --> 01:08:02,000
Excellent.

1305
01:08:05,900 --> 01:08:11,066
Hey, um, Arnold, I was hoping
I could ask for a favor.

1306
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:12,333
I don't know if I
mentioned it before

1307
01:08:12,467 --> 01:08:14,567
but I actually do sketching
in my spare time.

1308
01:08:14,700 --> 01:08:15,567
Oh.

1309
01:08:15,700 --> 01:08:16,934
My work was recently used

1310
01:08:17,066 --> 01:08:19,266
to help sell a book
at Snowburry Publishing

1311
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:21,300
and I was hoping I could get
your professional opinion

1312
01:08:21,433 --> 01:08:22,967
on my portfolio.

1313
01:08:23,100 --> 01:08:24,333
It'd be my pleasure.

1314
01:08:24,467 --> 01:08:25,667
Why don't you leave a copy
of your work

1315
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,066
and I'll look at it
this weekend.

1316
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,433
That would be great.
Thank you.

1317
01:09:09,834 --> 01:09:11,333
Piper...

1318
01:09:11,467 --> 01:09:12,967
Mom, hi.

1319
01:09:13,100 --> 01:09:14,467
Two days in a row.
Wow, I actually-

1320
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,033
I was in midtown
and I thought

1321
01:09:16,166 --> 01:09:19,400
I would stop by the paper
and visit my son at work

1322
01:09:19,533 --> 01:09:23,033
but imagine my surprise
when I discover

1323
01:09:23,166 --> 01:09:26,133
that there's no longer an Austin
Edwards employed there.

1324
01:09:26,266 --> 01:09:27,700
I have great news.

1325
01:09:27,834 --> 01:09:31,367
I thought, surely there must be
some sort of mistake.

1326
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:34,200
Until your boss told me
about the late articles,

1327
01:09:34,333 --> 01:09:37,000
the sub-par work and that
you were fired.

1328
01:09:37,133 --> 01:09:38,333
I know.

1329
01:09:38,467 --> 01:09:41,800
Everything I have done
has been to help you

1330
01:09:41,934 --> 01:09:43,700
develop the skills you need
to succeed.

1331
01:09:43,834 --> 01:09:44,734
I know.

1332
01:09:44,867 --> 01:09:46,467
And at this point, I just,

1333
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,000
I don't know what more
I can do for you.

1334
01:09:55,266 --> 01:09:58,133
This retrospective
for your mom is a big deal.

1335
01:09:58,266 --> 01:10:00,367
Come on, just come inside.

1336
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:02,533
Could be your birthday present
to me.

1337
01:10:02,667 --> 01:10:04,467
It's not your birthday
until tomorrow.

1338
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:06,567
Well, I'm currently
accepting gifts.

1339
01:10:06,700 --> 01:10:09,233
Or, leads on a new sublet.

1340
01:10:09,367 --> 01:10:10,700
I don't know about this.

1341
01:10:10,834 --> 01:10:12,400
I doubt she even wants me
in there.

1342
01:10:12,533 --> 01:10:15,233
It was a heated moment.
I'm sure she didn't mean it.

1343
01:10:15,367 --> 01:10:17,700
She wasn't wrong.
I hurt her.

1344
01:10:17,834 --> 01:10:21,367
I knew what I was doing
and I kept doing it anyway.

1345
01:10:21,500 --> 01:10:24,533
So apologize, and then share
with her the good news

1346
01:10:24,667 --> 01:10:26,333
about the book.

1347
01:10:26,467 --> 01:10:29,000
She'll be proud.
Come on, trust me.

1348
01:10:29,133 --> 01:10:30,133
Ok.

1349
01:10:32,633 --> 01:10:34,166
So, there we were,
sitting in the Jeep

1350
01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:35,834
in the middle of
the dessert

1351
01:10:35,967 --> 01:10:37,867
and the prince says,

1352
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,467
"You have been chasing me
for days!

1353
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:42,700
"You never give up. Enough!"

1354
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,166
And that is how I got
the famous interview.

1355
01:10:47,300 --> 01:10:49,367
I never gave up.

1356
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:51,567
So thank you for coming.

1357
01:10:51,700 --> 01:10:53,500
It is wonderful to see
you all.

1358
01:10:53,633 --> 01:10:57,000
Have a lovely evening
and enjoy the party.

1359
01:10:58,633 --> 01:11:01,400
Thank you. I am so glad
you made it.

1360
01:11:01,533 --> 01:11:04,567
Mom, I'm really sorry.
I never meant to hurt you.

1361
01:11:04,700 --> 01:11:06,700
Can we please
just talk about it?

1362
01:11:06,834 --> 01:11:08,867
I have some really
great news.

1363
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,600
Sweetheart, I've had
an amazing career.

1364
01:11:11,734 --> 01:11:15,367
And I've achieved more
than I could have dreamed.

1365
01:11:15,500 --> 01:11:19,734
But the one thing I never got
right was how to be your mother.

1366
01:11:19,867 --> 01:11:22,433
And it breaks my heart
that I failed you.

1367
01:11:22,567 --> 01:11:24,266
You didn't, Mom.

1368
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,767
I'm just trying to carve
my own path.

1369
01:11:26,900 --> 01:11:28,934
That's not failing me.

1370
01:11:29,066 --> 01:11:30,467
It is to me.

1371
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:36,734
Ms. Edwards...

1372
01:11:36,867 --> 01:11:40,100
I think you should know
that Austin sold his book.

1373
01:11:40,233 --> 01:11:43,300
And not just one book,
but an entire series.

1374
01:11:43,433 --> 01:11:45,900
It goes back to what you said
about your parents.

1375
01:11:46,033 --> 01:11:48,967
If you could just see
what Austin created,

1376
01:11:49,100 --> 01:11:50,633
hold it as something tangible...

1377
01:11:50,767 --> 01:11:55,300
I know you mean well but Austin
has a lot to answer for.

1378
01:11:57,266 --> 01:11:58,900
Patricia!
Congratulations!

1379
01:11:59,033 --> 01:11:59,900
Oh!

1380
01:12:00,100 --> 01:12:01,033
What an incredible night.

1381
01:12:01,166 --> 01:12:02,500
Thank you, Alan.

1382
01:12:02,633 --> 01:12:05,633
You know, again, I am so sorry
the way my son acted.

1383
01:12:05,767 --> 01:12:08,033
You did me a huge favor
hiring him.

1384
01:12:08,166 --> 01:12:09,867
I couldn't be more embarrassed.

1385
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,166
Don't even think about it.

1386
01:12:11,300 --> 01:12:12,533
Austin sent me the most
beautiful apology note

1387
01:12:12,667 --> 01:12:14,467
owning all his mistakes.

1388
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,033
He's a good guy.

1389
01:12:17,567 --> 01:12:18,433
Congratulations.

1390
01:12:21,233 --> 01:12:22,767
Hi, Piper. It's Arnold.

1391
01:12:22,900 --> 01:12:24,633
I had a chance to review
your work.

1392
01:12:24,767 --> 01:12:27,033
It's sweet but
not really suited

1393
01:12:27,166 --> 01:12:29,367
for the New York
art gallery scene.

1394
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:40,967
There you are!

1395
01:12:42,633 --> 01:12:45,166
My mom is never gonna see me
for who I am.

1396
01:12:45,300 --> 01:12:46,934
Let alone support me.

1397
01:12:47,066 --> 01:12:48,467
Don't be so sure.

1398
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,467
When she sees the wonderful
books we're creating,

1399
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,633
she'll feel differently.

1400
01:12:52,767 --> 01:12:54,700
Just another reason we have
to work super hard.

1401
01:12:56,934 --> 01:12:57,934
Piper...

1402
01:13:00,166 --> 01:13:02,834
I don't know how to tell
you this...

1403
01:13:02,967 --> 01:13:04,700
The publisher isn't going
to use you

1404
01:13:04,834 --> 01:13:06,600
as an illustrator
on the book.

1405
01:13:08,967 --> 01:13:10,700
What do you mean?

1406
01:13:10,834 --> 01:13:13,433
She wants to use someone
more established.

1407
01:13:13,567 --> 01:13:15,767
That's why I tried to convince
you to show Arnold your work,

1408
01:13:15,900 --> 01:13:17,900
so that maybe you could get
some gallery recognition

1409
01:13:18,033 --> 01:13:22,266
and that your work
would gain value.

1410
01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:28,100
Right. 'Cause my work
has no value.

1411
01:13:28,233 --> 01:13:29,500
Of course it does.

1412
01:13:32,967 --> 01:13:36,200
I um... I gotta, I gotta go.

1413
01:13:36,333 --> 01:13:37,600
Piper...

1414
01:14:14,467 --> 01:14:17,166
Happy birthday to me.

1415
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:13,266
Thank you.

1416
01:15:14,900 --> 01:15:16,066
I'm really gonna miss
you guys.

1417
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:17,166
Oh.

1418
01:15:18,433 --> 01:15:19,800
I couldn't have asked
for better friends.

1419
01:15:19,934 --> 01:15:22,433
Please stay for
your birthday party.

1420
01:15:22,567 --> 01:15:27,734
I uh, I would love to
but I gotta be realistic.

1421
01:15:27,867 --> 01:15:30,400
My two months is up
and I took my shot,

1422
01:15:30,533 --> 01:15:32,266
and it just didn't
work out.

1423
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:33,767
But you worked so hard.

1424
01:15:33,900 --> 01:15:36,500
And just think about
all the jobs you tried.

1425
01:15:38,300 --> 01:15:39,934
You were such a champion.

1426
01:15:42,767 --> 01:15:45,133
Wait, say that again?

1427
01:15:45,266 --> 01:15:47,734
Um, you were a champion.

1428
01:15:49,100 --> 01:15:50,166
I...

1429
01:15:51,734 --> 01:15:53,967
No, um, would you, sorry,
open the back?

1430
01:15:54,100 --> 01:15:55,166
Open the...

1431
01:15:58,100 --> 01:15:59,934
Would you guys mind, um,
just watching this stuff

1432
01:16:00,133 --> 01:16:01,033
for a little while?

1433
01:16:01,166 --> 01:16:02,066
- Uh...
- Um...

1434
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:03,667
So a bit of change
of plans.

1435
01:16:14,333 --> 01:16:16,066
Piper, you in there?

1436
01:16:27,867 --> 01:16:30,500
I've been thinking about
something that you told me.

1437
01:16:30,633 --> 01:16:34,533
About always being
my own champion.

1438
01:16:34,667 --> 01:16:36,066
So, I have a question.

1439
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:37,133
Ask away.

1440
01:16:38,700 --> 01:16:43,467
I came to New York City
and I found my calling.

1441
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:44,667
Which is?

1442
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:46,367
To be an illustrator.

1443
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:48,700
Here in the city
that inspires me.

1444
01:16:48,834 --> 01:16:52,400
That's wonderful, Piper.
So, what's your question?

1445
01:16:52,533 --> 01:16:56,867
You said that you need to be
your own champion.

1446
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:00,300
You said that you always need
to fight for yourself.

1447
01:17:00,433 --> 01:17:04,200
Well, I have and I've failed.

1448
01:17:04,333 --> 01:17:07,633
So my question is, how do I know
if the universe is telling me

1449
01:17:07,767 --> 01:17:12,066
that it's time to give up or
if I just need to fight harder?

1450
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,300
What makes you think
you've failed?

1451
01:17:14,433 --> 01:17:16,200
Every door that I tried
to get through

1452
01:17:16,333 --> 01:17:18,433
just keeps getting slammed
in my face.

1453
01:17:18,567 --> 01:17:21,400
It's so frustrating.

1454
01:17:21,533 --> 01:17:24,567
I... I can't get hired
because I'm unknown

1455
01:17:24,700 --> 01:17:25,900
and I can't become known

1456
01:17:26,033 --> 01:17:29,533
unless I'm hired and I don't
know what to do.

1457
01:17:29,667 --> 01:17:31,767
Piper, how do you think
established people

1458
01:17:31,900 --> 01:17:34,066
get established?

1459
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:37,367
If a door gets closed,
you bust it down.

1460
01:17:37,500 --> 01:17:39,800
If you don't do it,
someone else will.

1461
01:17:39,934 --> 01:17:43,033
Either you believe in yourself
or you don't.

1462
01:17:52,934 --> 01:17:54,767
Well aren't you going to stay
for tea?

1463
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:56,133
Thank you for the offer

1464
01:17:56,266 --> 01:18:01,533
but I've got some
door-busting to do.

1465
01:18:01,667 --> 01:18:03,633
You're amazing,
by the way.

1466
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,033
Hey, Will!

1467
01:18:10,166 --> 01:18:11,700
Have either of you guys
seen Piper?

1468
01:18:11,834 --> 01:18:12,934
She was just heading
to the airport

1469
01:18:13,066 --> 01:18:13,967
and then she suddenly changed
her mind.

1470
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:15,000
Where'd she go?

1471
01:18:15,133 --> 01:18:16,667
No idea.

1472
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,333
The only thing we do know
is that she is coming back

1473
01:18:19,467 --> 01:18:21,300
before she leaves again.

1474
01:18:29,767 --> 01:18:32,166
Ms. Snowburry?

1475
01:18:32,300 --> 01:18:37,500
My name is Piper Grant and no,
I don't have an appointment,

1476
01:18:37,633 --> 01:18:40,367
but I'm gonna ask for
three minutes of your time.

1477
01:18:40,500 --> 01:18:42,600
And why would I give you
any time at all?

1478
01:18:42,734 --> 01:18:45,467
Because I'm an illustrator.

1479
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:50,767
I'm not established, my work
is not recognizable.

1480
01:18:50,900 --> 01:18:54,100
Actually, no one has ever
heard of me.

1481
01:18:54,233 --> 01:18:59,700
But they will.
Because I'm good.

1482
01:18:59,834 --> 01:19:03,166
I am really, really good.

1483
01:19:06,500 --> 01:19:08,033
I'm such an idiot.

1484
01:19:08,166 --> 01:19:09,767
There's gotta be a way
to fix this.

1485
01:19:09,900 --> 01:19:10,834
Fix what?

1486
01:19:11,900 --> 01:19:13,867
I've been terribly unfair
to Piper.

1487
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,266
She's worked so hard
on this book.

1488
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,266
You really like this girl.

1489
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:20,333
Told you.

1490
01:19:21,533 --> 01:19:23,567
I should have pushed
for her harder.

1491
01:19:23,700 --> 01:19:25,266
Maybe you still can?

1492
01:19:28,967 --> 01:19:30,200
You turned down
my illustrations

1493
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:32,734
for Austin Edwards'
new book series

1494
01:19:32,867 --> 01:19:35,533
but I'm wondering if you
really looked at my work

1495
01:19:35,667 --> 01:19:37,166
or you just dismissed it
out of hand

1496
01:19:37,300 --> 01:19:38,834
because I'm unknown.

1497
01:19:38,967 --> 01:19:41,700
It's not personal.
It's company policy.

1498
01:19:41,834 --> 01:19:43,367
We use established illustrators

1499
01:19:43,500 --> 01:19:45,367
who's work we know
is outstanding.

1500
01:19:45,500 --> 01:19:47,867
Fair enough.

1501
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:51,266
But I'm gonna ask you to look
again and if you don't think

1502
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:56,533
it is outstanding and absolutely
perfect for the series,

1503
01:19:56,667 --> 01:19:59,433
then I will thank you for
your time and I will leave.

1504
01:20:04,867 --> 01:20:06,166
Fair enough.

Where've you been?

1510
01:20:34,133 --> 01:20:35,700
You were just gonna up and
leave without saying goodbye?

1511
01:20:35,834 --> 01:20:38,233
I knew if I saw you it would
make leaving that much harder.

1512
01:20:38,367 --> 01:20:40,400
Look, I called the publisher.

1513
01:20:40,533 --> 01:20:42,734
I did what I should have done
in the first place.

1514
01:20:42,867 --> 01:20:45,066
I told her we're
a package deal.

1515
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:46,734
And what did she say?

1516
01:20:46,867 --> 01:20:48,934
She said I was too late.

1517
01:20:49,066 --> 01:20:51,266
She already found an illustrator
who'd be perfect for the book.

1518
01:20:53,166 --> 01:20:54,266
You.

1519
01:20:57,333 --> 01:20:58,400
We did it.

1520
01:20:58,533 --> 01:21:00,166
No, you did it.

1521
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,934
What did you even say
to her?

1522
01:21:04,066 --> 01:21:07,166
I took some advice
from a very wise woman.

1523
01:21:07,300 --> 01:21:09,633
And I doubled down
on myself.

1524
01:21:09,767 --> 01:21:11,633
So does that mean
you're gonna stay?

1525
01:21:11,767 --> 01:21:14,066
And not because of the book,
or the world's best hot dog,

1526
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:15,300
or even the autumn leaves,

1527
01:21:15,433 --> 01:21:17,333
which, I admit, you're right.
They're great.

1528
01:21:20,266 --> 01:21:25,433
But stay because this place is
more magical with you in it.

1529
01:21:25,567 --> 01:21:27,600
And I can't imagine it
without you.

1530
01:21:29,033 --> 01:21:34,934
Stay because in a city
