00:00:01If this were a rom-com, how would it go?
00:00:06Well, since you're my boss,
00:00:10you'd obviously have to be a workaholic.
00:00:18And I'm an impressionable underpaid assistant
00:00:23who just moved to the city.
00:00:25You forced me to be your girlfriend to trick your parents.
00:00:32My father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:00:36And I hate every second of it.
00:00:39Are you enjoying the view?
00:00:42But then helping you trick your parents
00:00:45lets me see you on a deeper level.
00:00:48And then what happens?
00:00:55No.
00:01:04Just impossible.
00:01:05You take my baby back then?
00:01:08Don't in case.
00:01:11You're in such a coma.
00:01:16You oft.
00:01:18It's ah-
00:01:19Ah-
00:01:22Don't get distracted now, mister.
00:01:29Stop talking.
00:01:30Brenna Wolf!
00:01:31You had better be yawning from the back of an Uber, mister.
00:01:36What?
00:01:37Oh, fuck.
00:01:38Kate's engaging party.
00:01:39You were supposed to remind me.
00:01:41I left 14 sticky notes on your desk.
00:01:44Goddammit, you cannot relate to this.
00:01:46Who's that big boy?
00:01:47Please tell me this one doesn't think she's got a shot with you.
00:01:50Um, she's from Portugal?
00:01:53She knows this is just a flame.
00:01:54You're cheating on me with someone from Portugal?
00:01:57On second thought, Grace, you're gonna have to handle this for me.
00:02:01I'm calling the car.
00:02:02Shower off your bad decisions and get in.
00:02:05Okay.
00:02:10This was fun, Nadia.
00:02:12But, uh, it's time for you to go.
00:02:14You can see yourself out, can't you?
00:02:20Whoa!
00:02:37You know, you really should start watching where you're going.
00:02:39But one of these days you're gonna end up smeared across the hood of some Mercedes.
00:02:42So nice to see you too.
00:02:48Oh, how do I look?
00:02:54Perfect.
00:02:56I mean, fine.
00:02:58Good.
00:02:59You look good.
00:03:01I'm just glad you made it.
00:03:04Shall we?
00:03:05Mm-hmm.
00:03:06You know I've only ever met your family on the phone?
00:03:08Yeah.
00:03:09You'll see why.
00:03:10All right.
00:03:31You know how much shit my father's going to give me now that I'm the only single wolf?
00:03:35Brennan!
00:03:36Oh, God.
00:03:38Deal with that.
00:03:39Please.
00:03:42Help me.
00:03:43Isn't it?
00:03:44Look, it's nothing personal, but Brennan...
00:03:47You!
00:03:48You're the little assistant that's been keeping us apart.
00:03:51Because what?
00:03:52You think you have a shot with him?
00:03:54Whore?
00:03:56No, our relationship is strictly professional.
00:03:59It's pathetic.
00:04:00Give it up, sweetheart.
00:04:01He's not interested.
00:04:03You're just the girl who gets him his coffee.
00:04:20Well, look who it is.
00:04:22Big bro.
00:04:24Kate.
00:04:26Congratulations on all of...
00:04:28this.
00:04:29It's great.
00:04:31I really do feel blessed.
00:04:33I'm marrying the love of my life soon.
00:04:36My division is killing it.
00:04:38Have you seen our projections?
00:04:40Yeah.
00:04:42You know, I could give you some pointers.
00:04:45I saw your numbers.
00:04:46Two percent growth is not gonna cut it.
00:04:50Not when dad is in slashing mode.
00:04:53Oh, you haven't heard?
00:04:56At next month's board meeting.
00:04:58If you're not caught up.
00:05:03Oh, but don't worry.
00:05:05I'm sure you'll find something.
00:05:08Hmm.
00:05:09Maybe Mickey D's is hiring.
00:05:12You do look good in yellow.
00:05:17Now, if you don't mind, I have well-wishers to greet.
00:05:22Excuse me.
00:05:25Excuse me.
00:05:36Office. Now.
00:05:37But we just got here.
00:05:38Now.
00:05:46So, the whole division's just gone?
00:05:50No.
00:05:51Because you're gonna get an action plan on my desk by tomorrow.
00:05:53Tomorrow is Saturday.
00:05:57Mr. Wolf.
00:05:59I'm Howard Bernstein from the Bernstein Corporation.
00:06:03Now, I know we didn't have a meeting set up.
00:06:05But I have a potential business opportunity for you.
00:06:06Guys, sir.
00:06:07All scheduling needs to go through now.
00:06:08Mr. Wolf.
00:06:10I really think we should discuss this.
00:06:16Oh!
00:06:18Oh!
00:06:19Apologize to my assistant.
00:06:20Or the next meeting you take will be from a hospital bed.
00:06:22Oh, jeez!
00:06:25Okay!
00:06:26All right!
00:06:27God!
00:06:28Okay!
00:06:29I'm sorry!
00:06:30I'm sorry!
00:06:32Now.
00:06:33You.
00:06:34Action plan.
00:06:356 p.m. tomorrow.
00:06:36And you get the fuck out of here and leave my assistant alone.
00:06:38You, sir!
00:06:39Are a brute!
00:06:41Again?
00:06:42What is it?
00:06:43Ms. Reynolds?
00:06:44I'm calling you as your Mother's next of kin.
00:06:45Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:06:47Sorry.
00:06:48Excuse me.
00:06:49Time of death?
00:06:50Ms. Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:06:54What is it?
00:06:55Miss Reynolds, I'm calling you as your mother's next of kin.
00:06:58Unfortunately, this call is to provide you with a time of death.
00:07:02Sorry, excuse me, time of death?
00:07:05Miss Reynolds, your mother is dead.
00:07:18Grace, I need you to get a hold of Miller at the end.
00:07:24What is it?
00:07:29My mother's dead.
00:07:34Grace, are you serious?
00:07:37Okay.
00:07:38Sorry, you said that we need Miller.
00:07:41You need me to call Jordan Miller?
00:07:43Grace, don't worry about that.
00:07:44You need to go.
00:07:45No, no, I can't.
00:07:47No, I can't.
00:07:47We've got...
00:07:47I'm telling you as your boss, you need to go.
00:07:54Why are you going back to work?
00:08:18Didn't Brendan give you like a whole month off?
00:08:20Yeah, but he needs me.
00:08:27Look, I know you're desperately in love with this man, but he...
00:08:31I am not.
00:08:32Okay, fine.
00:08:40I love him.
00:08:43Are you happy?
00:08:43I've loved him for five fucking years, and he does not give a shit about me.
00:08:51I give him all of my waking hours.
00:08:54I get rid of his hookups.
00:08:57I even check the security cameras on my phone every day because he doesn't trust the alarm company.
00:09:03You don't want him taking advantage of you, then don't let him.
00:09:07You deserve love, not dirty work.
00:09:102% growth in this economy is impressive, above industry standard.
00:09:20Kate's division saw 8% last month alone.
00:09:24Well, why don't we ask the IRS about Kate's growth?
00:09:27One of these days, that behavior is going to come back to bite her in the ass.
00:09:30It's not just business.
00:09:33Kate's a serious person.
00:09:34She's settling down, and you're still in the tabloids with floozies.
00:09:39Ever since Dulcie...
00:09:41This has nothing to do with my personal life.
00:09:43I am more than capable of this.
00:09:45You want your division?
00:09:47Show me you're serious.
00:09:48Otherwise, I'll be making my recommendation to the board.
00:09:52I've got to go.
00:10:03Grace, what are you doing here?
00:10:05I thought you were still on bereavement.
00:10:09What is this?
00:10:12This is me.
00:10:15Quitting.
00:10:26No.
00:10:27Absolutely not.
00:10:29Excuse me?
00:10:31Look, if you still need more time to grieve, I understand.
00:10:34This is not about my mother.
00:10:37Brennan, I need a fresh start.
00:10:40I cannot keep going around in circles with you.
00:10:44These last five years, I have been torturing myself, trying to get you to see that...
00:10:49It doesn't matter.
00:10:54I'm done.
00:11:02No, you're not.
00:11:04You're still under contract for another year.
00:11:07What kind of leader would I be if I just let my employees leave just because they wanted
00:11:10to have a fresh start?
00:11:14Do you want to do this the hard way, Brennan?
00:11:18Okay.
00:11:19Fine.
00:11:26Hi.
00:11:26I need to speak with one of your attorneys, please.
00:11:28No, any one of them is fine.
00:11:32Okay.
00:11:34What the fuck?
00:11:35What are you doing?
00:11:37Look.
00:11:39I'll allow you to quit under one condition.
00:11:43You become my girlfriend.
00:11:45Excuse me?
00:11:52Look, my father doesn't think that I'm serious enough to keep the division.
00:11:56He and my mom are coming this weekend to stay with me for Kate's wedding, and...
00:12:00I just...
00:12:00I need to prove to him that I'm done fucking around.
00:12:04Are you?
00:12:07Right.
00:12:07I didn't think so.
00:12:09So ask Naomi.
00:12:11Or Miss Portugal.
00:12:13Anyone.
00:12:14There's a line of girls a mile long who'd be happy to help you.
00:12:17But Grace...
00:12:19You're the only one that I trust.
00:12:24Look.
00:12:25If you do this for me...
00:12:26Avoid your contract.
00:12:29And then you can go and do whatever it is that you want.
00:12:31With a glowing recommendation from myself.
00:12:35I can't do this anymore, Brennan.
00:12:38I can't keep doing your dirty work.
00:12:41I deserve better.
00:12:42I deserve to...
00:12:44Grace!
00:12:46I need you.
00:12:53It's just for the weekend.
00:12:55Right?
00:12:57Just for your parents.
00:13:01Fine.
00:13:02I'll stay for the weekend, and then I'm gone.
00:13:06What the hell?
00:13:16What was that?
00:13:18Practice.
00:13:34Brennan?
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:38You can do this.
00:13:39You just have to get through this weekend, and then you can forget about Brennan Wolfe for good.
00:13:47Hey, babe.
00:13:48Settling in?
00:14:02Hmm?
00:14:05Feel free to use any open space.
00:14:08Just don't go to my side or get into any of my stuff.
00:14:10You know, you don't seem to use your closet much.
00:14:17Are you enjoying the view?
00:14:25Wait.
00:14:32Here.
00:14:34Take this.
00:14:34What is this?
00:14:36What is this?
00:14:37Well, your wardrobe is passable, as my assistant, but my girlfriend would never wear this.
00:14:47First thing in the morning, go and get yourself a new wardrobe.
00:14:49100,000 max.
00:14:51100,000?
00:14:52No, I can't do that.
00:14:57No, just think of it as a bonus.
00:15:02Fine.
00:15:04It's getting late.
00:15:05I think I'm going to turn in.
00:15:09Do you mind?
00:15:10Look, most, uh, long-term couples share a bedroom.
00:15:28Absolutely not.
00:15:30Look, my parents get in tomorrow.
00:15:32We have to make this thing look real, at least.
00:15:35Okay, then tomorrow you're welcome to the floor.
00:15:38Until then, find another bedroom.
00:15:41There's like 50 in this place.
00:15:44Fine.
00:15:45You win.
00:15:48But I'll be downstairs watching a movie if you can't sleep.
00:15:55How about a rom-com?
00:15:59Sure.
00:16:08I wanted you then.
00:16:20And I want you now.
00:16:23And what are you waiting for?
00:16:24Well, I think that's my cue.
00:16:48Good night, Brennan.
00:16:49I think I'm falling in love with you.
00:16:54And no, you don't have to say anything, I just...I wanted you to know.
00:17:09Brennan?
00:17:19What are you doing here?
00:17:24So smooth.
00:17:29So smooth.
00:17:31Oh, my shit.
00:17:33I have no idea.
00:17:34Oh.
00:17:35Oh.
00:17:36Wow, you look nice.
00:18:06Thanks.
00:18:16They're here.
00:18:19Prepare yourself.
00:18:21Brenny!
00:18:24I love her.
00:18:26Oh my goodness.
00:18:29This must be Grace.
00:18:32Brennan, she is absolutely darling.
00:18:37No wonder you've been keeping her all to yourself.
00:18:43Still, you might have mentioned her at some point.
00:18:49Oh, that'll be Kate.
00:18:52She's here for dinner.
00:18:53Oh, I didn't realize she'd be joining us.
00:18:58Oh, well, I wanted to include everyone, the whole family.
00:19:01Sweetheart.
00:19:09Oh, come here, honey bunny.
00:19:14I still can't believe you finally tamed my brother.
00:19:17How'd you do it?
00:19:22Oh, I was in Soho.
00:19:24Oh, don't tell me you met in a bar.
00:19:29No, of course we didn't meet at a bar.
00:19:33Do you want to tell them, baby, or should I?
00:19:36Um, you tell it, sweetheart.
00:19:41I'll tell.
00:19:41So, I used to work for Cross & Co.
00:19:46I know, I know, you're biggest rivals.
00:19:49Brennan and I hated each other, always stealing clients and competing.
00:19:54But I always thought he was cute.
00:19:58One day, we were pitching the same client.
00:20:01We were coming out of the building when I took a step out into the road without looking.
00:20:05I know, I know, it's a terrible habit that I have.
00:20:08A car came barreling down the road at me, and before I knew it, I felt a pair of strong arms pull me back.
00:20:14And when I opened my eyes, I found myself staring up at your son.
00:20:20How could I hate him after that?
00:20:23And as they say, the rest is history.
00:20:35And, uh, I've been saving her from traffic ever since.
00:20:40Wow.
00:20:42Oh, my gosh.
00:20:43That sounds like something straight out of a movie.
00:20:48Doesn't it, honey?
00:20:49Hmm.
00:20:50Almost too good to be true.
00:20:53I tell you to get serious, and then you pick some random girl up off the street, and suddenly you're in love?
00:21:01Samuel.
00:21:03You've always been this way.
00:21:04Always taking the easy way out.
00:21:07Content to settle in the middle.
00:21:09Coasting along on your name and your money.
00:21:12You have no idea what you're talking about.
00:21:16Brennan cares more about his company than anyone I've ever met.
00:21:20He's dedicated and conscientious, and he's...
00:21:23Sam.
00:21:28Dinner and a show.
00:21:34Lucky me.
00:21:36Thanks for the fun night.
00:21:50Brennan, I...
00:21:52I have some contracts to go over.
00:21:54Excuse me.
00:21:55Oh, Mrs. Wolfe.
00:22:12I'm so sorry.
00:22:14I don't know what came over me.
00:22:16I was completely out of line, and I want to apologize.
00:22:19Grace, I love my husband, but he's always been too hard on Brennan.
00:22:24Thank you so much for defending him.
00:22:30I can tell.
00:22:31You really do care for you.
00:22:35I do.
00:22:35Nightcap?
00:22:52I thought you were mad at me.
00:22:54No, I...
00:22:54I just thank you for standing up for me tonight.
00:23:05I don't think it really helped our cause.
00:23:10I think your dad hates me.
00:23:13But my mom loves you, and so it cancels out.
00:23:18You were really good.
00:23:20I'm sure they'll buy it.
00:23:21How are you so good at this?
00:23:28At what?
00:23:29At pretending to be in love.
00:23:35Well...
00:23:37My mom and I used to watch rom-coms.
00:23:40It was kind of our thing.
00:23:44I remember.
00:23:45She would always tell me,
00:23:47Don't kid yourself.
00:23:50Real guys will always let you down,
00:23:52but rom-com guys are forever.
00:23:57Anyway, I guess what I meant was
00:23:59I may not be good at real love,
00:24:04but I'm great at rom-coms.
00:24:08Plus, I mean, some of that is true.
00:24:10I mean, you are always saving me from traffic.
00:24:12Grace, you must really miss your mom.
00:24:23I'm so sorry.
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:33It's hard
00:24:33to lose the one person in the world who
00:24:37makes it all make sense.
00:24:42Yeah.
00:24:44Trust me.
00:24:46I get it.
00:24:48You lost someone?
00:24:51I thought I knew everything about you.
00:24:56Not everything.
00:24:56Do you...
00:24:59Do you want to talk about it?
00:25:07I...
00:25:07I don't know if I...
00:25:11can.
00:25:14It's...
00:25:14It's okay.
00:25:16You can tell me.
00:25:17You can tell me.
00:25:26Maybe...
00:25:31Maybe some other time.
00:25:35So, uh...
00:25:38If this were a rom-com,
00:25:40how would it go?
00:25:45It's very funny.
00:25:47No, I'm actually being serious.
00:25:53Okay.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:56Well,
00:25:58since you're
00:25:59my boss,
00:26:01you'd
00:26:02obviously have to be
00:26:04a workaholic.
00:26:05And
00:26:06I'm
00:26:07an impressionable
00:26:08underpaid assistant
00:26:10who just moved to the city.
00:26:11I'm not seeing
00:26:12the fiction there.
00:26:15So,
00:26:16you force me

00:36:40He can do a smirk.
00:36:41All right,
00:36:48and how about
00:36:49a solo picture
00:36:49of a brother

00:37:20Seriously?
00:37:22A real
00:37:23kiss.
00:37:23A real
00:37:37kiss.
00:37:38Real enough?
00:38:08Brennan, what the hell was that?
00:38:15Look, Grace, we've already talked about this.
00:38:17We have to make this look real.
00:38:19I mean, if I hadn't kissed you, it would...
00:38:20No, I mean, you're running away from me like I bit you.
00:38:23Come on, you said you were going to start pulling your weight.
00:38:25You're going to blow this whole thing.
00:38:28Blow what whole thing?
00:38:30Oh, nothing, just the photo shoot.
00:38:33Brennan got a little carried away.
00:38:36What's that?
00:38:37Family tradition.
00:38:40No, Kate.
00:38:42Consider it an early wedding present to me.
00:38:45Me and Alec versus you guys.
00:38:48Come on.
00:38:50We never got to play with Dulcie.
00:38:53Who's Dulcie?
00:38:56You haven't told her?
00:38:58Look, that's none of your business, Kate.
00:39:03Fine.
00:39:05Game on.
00:39:10Alright, it's easy.
00:39:12Hers means you have to answer questions about Brennan.
00:39:15His means he has to answer questions about you.
00:39:18Each correct answer gets a point.
00:39:20Whoever gets the most points wins.
00:39:22Are you ready to lose?
00:39:24Hmm.
00:39:26How bad can it be?
00:39:28It's not like we're strangers.
00:39:30Let's start with a question for the boys.
00:39:32All right, first question.
00:39:37What is your partner's go-to lunch?
00:39:41Okay.
00:39:54And three, two, one, flip.
00:39:58Oh, come on.
00:40:03The amount of times I picked that sandwich up for you at work.
00:40:07When I was surprising you.
00:40:09Great.
00:40:11Everybody gets a point.
00:40:13Grace, you pull.
00:40:15Another boys question.
00:40:16When did your partner lose their virginity?
00:40:30Three, two, one, flip.
00:40:34Okay, this is scary.
00:40:35You know me too well.
00:40:36That's the idea, babe.
00:40:49Alec baby, it's you.
00:40:52Now it's about the girlies.
00:40:55What's your partner's favorite band?
00:41:08Three, two, one, flip.
00:41:10Okay, this is a girlies.
00:41:11This is a girlies.
00:41:12And this is a girlies.
00:41:13You're on the other side.
00:41:17Katy Perry?
00:41:19What the hell is Blood Orange Grove?
00:41:24Brennan, you're up.
00:41:31Yo, here is the girlies.
00:41:37All right, last question.
00:42:01What is your partner's favorite movie genre?
00:42:07And he gets a point, finally, his first one.
00:42:14That makes 16 for The Lovebirds and 37 for me and Alec.
00:42:20Match made in heaven, baby.
00:42:37You remember you quit, right?
00:42:43You don't have to keep working for me.
00:42:45Yeah, well, who else is going to check the security cameras for you?
00:42:49Well, Grace, I know you're upset, but it's just a stupid game, right?
00:43:05It doesn't matter.
00:43:06I think I'm going to turn in.
00:43:10Night.
00:43:11No, Grace.
00:43:13Look, I'm trying here.
00:43:17Okay?
00:43:18You can't just shut me out.
00:43:20Talk to me.
00:43:22There's nothing to say, Brennan.
00:43:25Look, you're right.
00:43:27None of this matters.
00:43:28After this weekend, we'll go our separate ways and back to reality.
00:43:38Speaking of, I drafted a list of replacement assistants.
00:43:43It should be in your email.
00:43:46Now, if you'll excuse me.
00:43:49Grace.
00:43:50Grace.
00:43:58Grace.
00:44:28I'm sure he's not hiding anything.
00:44:37Maybe she's just an old friend or something.
00:44:40But it's not just that.
00:44:43The other day we were playing this couples game
00:44:46and he didn't know anything about me.
00:44:49I've made his life perfect for years
00:44:51and he couldn't even bother to learn my favorite band.
00:44:54I know it's hard, but clearly he cares about you.
00:44:58I mean, he brought you home to meet his parents.
00:45:01I'm sure he didn't do that with all the other girls.
00:45:07I need to tell you something.
00:45:28I thought maybe he was starting to fall for me, for real.
00:45:42I mean, we kissed a couple of times
00:45:44and the other morning I woke up and he was holding me.
00:45:47I guess I was just deluding myself like Naomi and all the others.
00:45:55I said I was done with this.
00:45:57I quit, for God's sakes.
00:46:00But then he roped me in and like a fucking idiot,
00:46:03I let him pull me right back in.
00:46:06It's like I haven't learned anything.
00:46:07Grace, you're not an idiot.
00:46:09You're just a romantic.
00:46:12And that's different.
00:46:15I don't know.
00:46:18Maybe my mother was right.
00:46:20Real men always let you down.
00:46:25I'm not going to get my hopes up.
00:46:26I just have to get through the weekend
00:46:28and then I can put Brennan Wolfe behind me.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:32Cheers.
00:46:39Come in.
00:46:55Late night booty call in your office.
00:46:57Just like the good old days.
00:47:00Glad you finally saw the light, lover.
00:47:02Brennan?
00:47:20Baby?
00:47:22Where'd you go?
00:47:23I'm right here.
00:47:26No, this was a mistake.
00:47:29You need to go.
00:47:32No.
00:47:33The only mistake was you letting me go.
00:47:39No.
00:47:40You need to go.
00:47:42Get out.
00:47:43The fuck, Brennan?
00:47:45Go!
00:47:46Brennan, is that you?
00:48:12Mom, what are you doing up?
00:48:16I have something for you.
00:48:18I wanted to give it to you earlier.
00:48:21But I just wanted to let you know how happy I am
00:48:23that you and Grace have found each other.
00:48:26It's just been so long since Dulcy and I,
00:48:28I was beginning to worry you'd never find it again.
00:48:32Mom, I, uh...
00:48:33Mom, I, uh...
00:48:36It's okay.
00:48:37You deserve to feel love again.
00:48:40And I know now might not be the right time, but...
00:48:43I wanted to give you this.
00:48:44I wanted to give you this.
00:48:53Your father proposed to me with it.
00:48:56And when the time comes,
00:48:59maybe you could propose to Grace with it.
00:49:07It just, it feels so much like last time.
00:49:11Mom, what if that means that it's all gonna fall apart again?
00:49:15It's okay, sweetie.
00:49:18That feeling is fear.
00:49:20And all that means is that it's real.
00:49:23You said you needed to see me?
00:49:41Now who needs reminding that I quit?
00:49:45Look, there's something I want to tell you.
00:49:48I, uh...
00:49:50I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:49:53It feels like we've covered this.
00:49:57No.
00:49:58I mean...
00:50:00Like, for real.
00:50:02This time.
00:50:04What did you just say?
00:50:07I've been an idiot.
00:50:09Right?
00:50:09I've taken you for granted,
00:50:11and these last few days have made me realize
00:50:13I can't live without you.
00:50:15Rather, I, I don't want to.
00:50:20I want to make us official.
00:50:23What do you say?
00:50:33Wait.
00:50:34If I could live anywhere in the world,
00:50:44where would I live?
00:50:48What?
00:50:50Who's my hero?
00:50:53I...
00:50:54What's my mother's name?
00:50:56What's my favorite childhood memory?
00:50:57What are my favorite hobbies?
00:51:02Where am I from?
00:51:05You say you can't live without me, Brennan.
00:51:08No, you can't live without what I do for you.
00:51:11Besides the fact that I make your life easier,
00:51:13you don't know anything about me.
00:51:15I know that you're kind.
00:51:28I know that you're not afraid to stand up for people you care about.
00:51:34That you love your mom.
00:51:35That you're an extremely hard worker.
00:51:42That you snore.
00:51:43I know that you make me feel safe
00:51:50and happy
00:51:52and good.
00:51:55And if you give me a chance,
00:51:57I'll learn the rest.
00:52:02Please.
00:52:04Grace.
00:52:04Grace.
00:52:04Grace.
00:52:29Grace.
00:52:32Grace.
00:52:33Grace.
00:52:33Grace.
00:52:33Grace.
00:52:34Here.
00:52:39It's never stopped you before.
00:52:52Hey there, beautiful.
00:53:04You look like you've been up all night.
00:53:09And, uh, whose fault is that?
00:53:11No.
00:53:15Me.
00:53:19Get me?
00:53:23Hand.
00:53:27Okay.
00:53:29Hold still there, Mr. Wolf.
00:53:32This will make you look awake.
00:53:34There.
00:53:44Wow.
00:53:48You are a miracle worker.
00:53:52What else is new?
00:54:02Stay.
00:54:08You know, when I get married, I'm not inviting any of these people.
00:54:13In fact, I'm not inviting anyone at all.
00:54:16Vegas elopement.
00:54:19Elvis impersonator.
00:54:21Reception at the casino.
00:54:23It works.
00:54:25It's very romantic.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:29What about you?
00:54:32I don't know.
00:54:34Oh, come on.
00:54:36Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.
00:54:38I mean, doesn't every single one of those rom-coms have some sort of cliché fairytale wedding?
00:54:43I guess I never imagined it because I've never been in love before.
00:54:52All the guys I've been with haven't...
00:54:55Something hasn't felt right.
00:54:57It's like I've been waiting for someone.
00:55:00What about you?
00:55:02What about me?
00:55:04Have you ever been in love?
00:55:07Excuse me.
00:55:08Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:10Be my guest.
00:55:12Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:14Excuse me.
00:55:17Do you mind if I borrow my son for a moment?
00:55:22Be my guest.
00:55:39Time to pay the piper, bro.
00:55:42What the fuck is this?
00:55:45Kate.
00:55:48The other night, I went down to get a drink of water,
00:55:52and that's when I heard your so-called girlfriend
00:55:55saying something very interesting to her little friend.
00:55:59She's not your girlfriend after all, is she?
00:56:02Look, Dad, I don't know what you...
00:56:04No more of your lies, son,
00:56:06and do not ask your mother to intervene.
00:56:08I knew this was wrong from the get-go.
00:56:11Now I have proof.
00:56:12I'll be meeting with the board on Monday morning,
00:56:16and then you'll begin the process

01:07:32i don't know
01:07:36maybe my mom was right
01:07:39men aren't like in the rom-coms
01:07:41of course they're not
01:07:43girl
01:07:43those guys are made up
01:07:46that's like a dude getting mad at you for not being like the girls in the pronos
01:07:50it's not the same
01:07:52you know he admitted he was wrong and now he's trying to make it better

01:10:44it's okay
01:10:46no you're still recovering
01:10:50and i still haven't told them that we're not together anymore

01:10:59brennan it's okay
01:11:02i can do this
01:11:03well we wanted to come earlier but somebody made us wait until you were better
01:11:16well i'm really glad that you're all here
01:11:23oh um grace and brennan i'd like to apologize for the way i've behaved
01:11:31i thought it was acting in the best interest of my son and uh i see now that i was wrong
01:11:40so i would like to give this union my full blessing
01:11:46no stop i mom dad there's there's something i need to tell you
01:11:57brennan what are you doing
01:11:58grace isn't my fiance
01:12:10she was my assistant
01:12:14she tried to quit but i wouldn't let her
01:12:18in fact i blackmailed her into pretending to be my girlfriend so that you would keep my division open
01:12:28grace is
01:12:31grace is a beautiful
01:12:35lovely kind and sweet woman and i used her to further my own goals
01:12:45even now she's still helping me when i almost got her killed
01:12:52because that's just who she is
01:12:55yes i won't let you continue lying for me anymore
01:13:05everything you said is true i'm an unserious playboy
01:13:08but this playboy wants to do better so if you have to close my division i i guess i understand
01:13:17don't
01:13:23don't
01:13:27I didn't even have to beat you.
01:13:31You did it for me.
01:13:35That's enough, Kate.
01:13:36Go wait in the car.
01:13:40I don't know.
01:13:54I am so proud of you.
01:13:57I mean it.
01:13:58It was so brave of you to tell the truth.
01:14:01But I could tell you were keeping something from us.
01:14:06But I could also see that you and Grace really care for each other.
01:14:11And that wasn't a lie.
01:14:14Even when you thought it was.
01:14:18Now, I'll let you two talk this through.
01:14:21Brennan.
01:14:35Grace, I understand if you just want to go home now.
01:14:38I know I can send your stuff to your apartment.
01:14:42But don't worry, I won't be coming with it.
01:14:46Brennan.
01:14:49I'm not leaving.
01:14:50You're not.
01:14:53My whole life, I thought if a guy couldn't measure up to the Nora Ephron or Nancy Meyers heroes, he wasn't worth it.
01:15:06But maybe it's good that you're not this perfect guy.
01:15:12Because I'm not a porn star.
01:15:15What?
01:15:16It sounded better when Belle said it.
01:15:24I guess maybe fantasies are fantasies for a reason.
01:15:30And after all of this, I realized I don't want a fairy tale.
01:15:38I want real.
01:15:41I want you.
01:15:44I want to give us a chance.
01:15:49And one day,
01:15:52a long, long time into the future,
01:15:56maybe you can give this back to me.
01:16:03Not today.
01:16:06Clear?
01:16:20Crystal.
01:16:26I can't believe you told your parents everything.
01:16:35Sam is definitely going to shut down your division now.
01:16:39What are you going to do?
01:16:45I think I have an idea.
01:16:46I think I have an idea.
