00:24:43something at home and now you have to run and get it bye max see you at home
00:25:03so
00:25:22so
00:25:49What time is it?
00:25:50Oh, time to wake up.
00:25:51Renee's going to be here in less than an hour.
00:25:53Have you decided what you're going to show?
00:25:58Oh, Jamie, it's beautiful.
00:26:01Renee's going to love it.
00:26:03I'm not showing her that.
00:26:05Then why were you up all night painting it?
00:26:08Because I felt inspired.
00:26:14But I'm not showing Renee a vision board.
00:26:16I'll just display some of my old landscapes I haven't submitted before.
00:26:24I'll go clean up.
00:26:25So, Jamie.
00:26:39Yes.
00:26:40When did you start painting?
00:26:42When I was in high school.
00:26:42Well, actually, I guess I've always been painting in some form or another.
00:26:48I mean, when I was a kid, I used to sit and make art with anything I could find.
00:26:52But I started seriously painting when I was 15 and then art school and got an MFA.
00:26:58Well, you are incredibly talented.
00:27:03And there are so many successful elements here.
00:27:08But I'm just not feeling the emotion.
00:27:13Some of your work feels as if it's forced.
00:27:16Almost as if you're playing it safe.
00:27:18Do you have anything else that maybe I could take a look at?
00:27:24Not at this time.
00:27:26Well, then I thank you for sharing.
00:27:29It has truly been a privilege.
00:27:30Actually, she does.
00:27:32No, I don't.
00:27:33She does.
00:27:34You do?
00:27:34I don't.
00:27:35She does.
00:27:36It's beautiful.
00:27:37It's from Jamie's new series about dreams.
00:27:41Well, then I would love to see it.
00:27:45Right this way.
00:27:55I love it.
00:27:57It's heartfelt and bold and it takes a chance.
00:28:01Do you think you can get it to me in time for the art festival?
00:28:04Yes.
00:28:05So I'm in the showcase.
00:28:08This is in the showcase?
00:28:10Congratulations.
00:28:13Vision board.
00:28:21Hey.
00:28:23Whoa, you've been busy.
00:28:26Just some potential plans how we could use a space, a list of contractors and vendors,
00:28:31and the start of an operations manual for hiring and best practices.
00:28:34I've also emailed it to you.
00:28:37Dad, you've done so much.
00:28:40I'm excited, and I've got the time, and I know you've got a lot on your plate.
00:28:45Well, it's just until I turn in this painting, and then I promise you will have my undivided attention.
00:28:51Okay, honey.
00:28:51I almost forgot the most important part.
00:28:56What's that?
00:29:02Donuts.
00:29:03Don't get enough of me at home?
00:29:27Oh.
00:29:29Sorry.
00:29:29How's work going?
00:29:33A walk in the park.
00:29:35It's only my fourth day, so we'll see.
00:29:37Four days?
00:29:38Wow.
00:29:38That's a commitment for you.
00:29:40Can I take a look?
00:29:42Sure.
00:29:52It's beautiful.
00:29:54Well, it's easy to make something beautiful when all this is your subject.
00:30:00Oh, you're modest, but you're right.
00:30:04Cherry blossom season is the best time of year.
00:30:08When I was homesick, this is pretty much what I thought of.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:14They were pretty perfect.
00:30:16Their form, their color, their composition.
00:30:20You know, it's funny.
00:30:21I've never really thought of them like that.
00:30:23Well, what do you think about?
00:30:25How they make me feel.
00:30:26And how's that?
00:30:32Like perfection does exist.
00:30:34Although, pleading, like life.
00:30:38It's all the more precious for its uncertainty.
00:30:40Ava told me that you got accepted into that showcase.
00:30:50Uh, well, with her help.
00:30:52Yes.
00:30:53And first prize is a solo show in Paris.
00:30:56A dream.
00:30:58I'm surprised you remember that.
00:31:01Really?
00:31:01We've known each other for 24 years.
00:31:02You think you've mentioned Paris once or twice or a thousand times?
00:31:06Yeah, it's an artist cliche.
00:31:09Showing Paris.
00:31:10Well, who cares if it's cliche?
00:31:12You know, for once, I think I can actually get behind your Kavler attitude.
00:31:23Did I just make you smile?
00:31:27No.
00:31:28Smiling on my own.
00:31:29Oh, okay.
00:31:31But thank you.
00:31:33I should get going.
00:31:34And thank you for the walk.
00:31:35You're welcome.
00:31:37Come back.
00:31:39Oh, bring your students.
00:31:41It's a good idea.
00:31:42Yeah, I know.
00:31:43I'm full of them.
00:31:59Hey.
00:32:01Hi.
00:32:05You ready?
00:32:08Yes.
00:32:08I chose bottles because painting glass is tricky, especially in this light, so it forces
00:32:14us to stop and really look.
00:32:18You know, and then upon studying it, you realize it's so much more than just glass and a bottle.
00:32:23It's highlights, lowlights, shade, tone.
00:32:26How do you know that?
00:32:27How do you know that?
00:32:28I love art.
00:32:29I painted when I was young.
00:32:32I actually had delusions of being a professional artist.
00:32:34Ah.
00:32:35Well, in the art world, we call delusions, dreams.
00:32:44So what happens?
00:32:45I wanted a career path with a bit more stability.
00:32:48But also, I found it too hard to put my work out there, to put myself out there in that way.
00:32:57I know what you mean.
00:32:59Plus, I hate getting messy.
00:33:05Ah, well, that may be hard to avoid because art is messy.
00:33:12I have an idea.
00:33:18The baby steps, putting yourself out there.
00:33:21Canvas Creations is having their spring show.
00:33:23Maybe you could display something.
00:33:28I'll give it some thought.
00:33:32What about you?
00:33:33What's your work like?
00:33:34You know, what do you paint?
00:33:36Ooh, I'm not really sure how to answer that.
00:33:39Well, I took a year away from painting, and now I'm back with something different.
00:33:46It looks different.
00:33:48It feels different.
00:33:50So will you show me this magical painting of yours?
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:53I'd love to.
00:33:55And it's done.
00:33:56That means I get to see you again.
00:34:00I'd like that.
00:34:14So how was your date?
00:34:16It wasn't a date.
00:34:17It was a lesson.
00:34:19But I think we might see each other again.
00:34:22Like, is it a date or a lesson?
00:34:24I'm not sure.
00:34:27Just as it seemed like he was going to ask me out, he got a phone call and I had to leave.
00:34:30Oh, and how's the Canvas Creations expansion?
00:34:33Honestly, I feel like I'm not really pulling my weight with all the painting I'm doing for the showcase.
00:34:38And what happens if you win the showcase?
00:34:40Are you really going to want to stop working on your solo show in Paris to do marketing?
00:34:44I don't know.
00:34:45I don't know.
00:34:46Think about it.
00:34:48Well, aren't I full of good ideas.
00:34:55Don't make me remind you of all the bad ideas you've had over the years.
00:35:11It's a golf cart in a lake.
00:35:15Ring about it?
00:35:16That was a good one.
00:35:18You know what?
00:35:18Let's focus on the present.
00:35:19Mm-hmm.
00:35:21I've got another good idea.
00:35:22When you're done here, come with me at the Rose Garden.
00:35:25I'll give you a special behind-the-scenes tour.
00:35:27Oh, thank you, but I'm busy.
00:35:29I can't hear you.
00:35:31And I'll see you later.
00:35:45So, uh, this is our next project.
00:35:47Wow.
00:35:48Yeah, we, uh, just finished the design and then we go into the planting process.
00:35:53Do you think you'll stick around long enough to see if finished?
00:35:58I don't know.
00:35:59But I bet you're eager to have a new neighbor, so...
00:36:03Actually, I was kind of learning to enjoy having you as a neighbor.
00:36:06Oh, thanks, Jamie.
00:36:08I wish it didn't need the actually or kind of we're learning to, but besides that, yeah,
00:36:14I think that is the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
00:36:17You're welcome.
00:36:18Oh, we're, uh, interviewing for the landscape architect position.
00:36:22I'm confused.
00:36:24You have a master's in landscape architecture.
00:36:27I do.
00:36:29So you're a landscape architect?
00:36:32Yeah, I am.
00:36:34So why don't you apply for the position?
00:36:37No, no, no.
00:36:37Way too much responsibility.
00:36:39It's all managing and coordinating and bureaucracy, and as the groundskeeper, I just get to play in the dirt all day.
00:36:46Of course.
00:36:46Of course.
00:36:47And, you know, who knows how long I want to be around.
00:36:49There's no way I'm getting tied down with those obligations and responsibilities.
00:36:52You mean life?
00:36:54No, that's not life.
00:36:57Life is passion and fun and traveling and...
00:37:00Life should be an adventure.
00:37:05Me, personally, I don't want to have any regrets.
00:37:08But never committing to anything has regrets of its own.
00:37:11Now who's the expert on someone else's life?
00:37:13You're exasperating.
00:37:18Yet, you are smiling.
00:37:25Let's go.
00:37:28Ava said that your vision board was going well.
00:37:30Oh, she did, did she?
00:37:32Yeah.
00:37:33What else did she say?
00:37:35She mentioned something about a shadowy dream man.
00:37:38It was in passing, but this dream man, who is he?
00:37:44I don't know.
00:37:45What do you think he's like?
00:37:48Well, he's perfect.
00:37:51Sounds like me.
00:37:52He's also too humble to know he's perfect.
00:37:54Also sounds like me.
00:37:56Okay.
00:37:58He's kind.
00:38:00And passionate, charitable, intelligent.
00:38:04Well, he loves art.
00:38:06And of course, he's very handsome.
00:38:07Of course.
00:38:09But how does he make you feel?
00:38:12Because there's tons of intelligent, smart, articulate men out there.
00:38:16Me, for example.
00:38:17But what matters is how he makes you feel.
00:38:24Hmm.
00:38:25I'll give it some thought.
00:38:27Right now, I have to go.
00:38:30I have to run off yesterday and we didn't get to finish our conversation about seeing each other again.
00:38:44For another lesson.
00:38:45I was thinking more like a date.
00:38:47I was thinking more like a date.
00:38:49Oh.
00:38:51Sure.
00:38:53Okay.
00:38:54Tomorrow night?
00:38:55Great.
00:38:56Perfect.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:57I walked out without giving this to you, but I saw it in a florist and it made me think of you.
00:39:26It's breathtaking.
00:39:38See you tomorrow night?
00:39:40Yes.
00:39:41The vision board man is Michael.
00:40:02It's like he just stepped out of my painting.
00:40:04This is weird.
00:40:05This is weird.
00:40:06I mean, there has to be a logical explanation for it.
00:40:09Sometimes in life, there are no logical explanations.
00:40:13Like with love.
00:40:14Is that Michael?
00:40:28No, it's Max.
00:40:30Max who?
00:40:31Max, your brother.
00:40:32Excuse me.
00:40:34My brother is texting you and you're smiling, but you're not just like smiling.
00:40:38You are smiling.
00:40:41I'm not smiling like anything.
00:40:43I'm definitely not smiling like that.
00:40:44Nobody is smiling like that.
00:40:48Ava, you asked us to get along, so we're getting along.
00:40:51That's it.
00:40:51Hi.
00:40:52Hi.
00:40:52Hi.
00:40:52Hi.
00:40:52Hi.
00:40:52Hi.
00:40:54Hi.
00:40:54Hi.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:56Hi.
00:40:56Hi.
00:40:56Hi.
00:40:56Hi.
00:40:56Hi.
00:40:57Hi.
00:40:57Hi.
00:40:58Hi.
00:40:58Hi.
00:40:58Hi.
00:40:58Hi.
00:40:59Hi.
00:41:00Hi.
00:41:00Hi.
00:41:00Hi.
00:41:00Hi.
00:41:01Hi.
00:41:02Surprises, surprises.
00:41:05You actually showed up.
00:41:07I did, but I can only stay for a little, I mean my dad in an hour.
00:41:11Okay.
00:41:13Okay.
00:41:17Setting up for the Cherry Blossom Art Festival?
00:41:19Yeah.
00:41:20Oh.
00:41:23Ta-da.
00:41:25Seriously?
00:41:26Okay, you still remember how to drive this thing?
00:41:29I think?
00:41:30All right, yeah, you put one foot in front of the other, and you pedal.
00:41:34Let's go.
00:41:35Yeah.
00:41:36Why don't you take that one and be raised?
00:41:37How's that sound?
00:41:39Woo!
00:41:41Is it weird that we're doing this?
00:41:44Why would it be weird?
00:41:45Because this is, like, total dating activity, and we are not dating.
00:41:50Oh, no, not a date.
00:41:51Just, uh, two friends.
00:41:53Cycling.
00:41:54Uh-huh.
00:41:55Well, since you brought it up, what's going on with your dating life, huh?
00:41:58I thought for sure you were going to end up marrying your ex.
00:42:00Whatever his name was.
00:42:02Ha!
00:42:03I also thought I would marry whatever his name was.
00:42:07So, what happened?
00:42:09Uh, he said he thought we'd lost our spark.
00:42:13Oh.
00:42:14And if he stayed with me, he'd feel like he was making a safe choice.
00:42:19Ouch.
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21Ouch.
00:42:23What did you think?
00:42:25Well, I was heartbroken, and I thought for sure he was wrong.
00:42:28I mean, relationships are more than a spark.
00:42:33They're history and compatibility, sharing lives.
00:42:37But now I'm starting to see he was right.
00:42:43We would have been settling.
00:42:46The breakup was really hard.
00:42:49It made me question everything.
00:42:50I mean, I, I was so sure my life would turn out this one way.
00:42:56And then suddenly I was 29, single.
00:43:00My heart wasn't putting out the way I thought it would.
00:43:02And I realized I couldn't keep living a dream.
00:43:08So you opened Canvas Creations?
00:43:10Yeah.
00:43:10Well, it was sort of a plan B that's become a plan A.
00:43:19What about you?
00:43:21You dating anyone?
00:43:26No.
00:43:28Not yet.
00:43:28Well, this has actually been fun.
00:43:35Oh.
00:43:36I just wish it didn't need to actually again.
00:43:41I should get going.
00:43:45But there's something we should do first.
00:43:48Remember, we always used to do this after a bike ride.
00:43:51Brings back good memories.
00:43:53It does.
00:43:53I do remember the last time I was at the bikes.
00:43:59Okay.
00:43:59It was that spring when you pulled the secret admirer prank on me.
00:44:03Your last letter said my secret admirer would meet me at the bike rentals
00:44:09and reveal himself.
00:44:11I was so excited.
00:44:13I told all my friends.
00:44:15And I waited for hours.
00:44:17And he never came.
00:44:19I'm sorry, Jamie.
00:44:21I was...
00:44:22Max, it's okay.
00:44:23We were kids.
00:44:24You know, the funny thing is, I actually really liked my secret admirer.
00:44:30I felt like he liked me, too.
00:44:32Despite how mad I was, I hate for that.
00:44:36I actually kept the letters.
00:44:38I know.
00:44:39It's because, I don't know, they meant so much to me.
00:44:44Where did you get that material, anyway?
00:44:47I wrote it.
00:44:49No, really.
00:44:50Come on.
00:44:51Really, I wrote it.
00:44:52Well, how'd you come up with it?
00:44:57I thought of you.
00:45:01I thought of the look on your face when you would fall for the joke.
00:45:04Yeah, that one.
00:45:06Yeah, that one.
00:45:09Bye, Max.
00:45:20Hey, Renee, it's Jamie.
00:45:21I wanted to let you know I'll be turning in my painting tomorrow.
00:45:24Hello.
00:45:35Hello.
00:45:36Hi.
00:45:36Oh, come in.
00:45:37I just need to grab my bag.
00:45:39Sure.
00:45:41Wow.
00:45:42It's a lovely place.
00:45:44Thanks.
00:45:47Shall we?
00:45:48I thought we'd check out this music in the park, Evan.
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:07You okay?
00:46:08What's going on?
00:46:12Oh, yeah.
00:46:14Just a funny coincidence.
00:46:16Oh, I didn't know they had live music here.
00:46:29Hmm.
00:46:30It's a new monthly arts and culture series.
00:46:32Different sponsors bring in musicians and artists.
00:46:36I'm thinking of hosting a painting exhibit here this summer.
00:46:39You're going to host it?
00:46:42I might have buried the lead a bit, but I actually had up an arts foundation.
00:46:47Really?
00:46:48The Herman Arts Foundation.
00:46:51The Herman Arts Foundation that sponsors the Cherry Blossom Art Festival?
00:46:57Yeah, yeah.
00:46:59The painting I told you I was finishing is for the Emerging Artist Showcase.
00:47:04Really?
00:47:04Well, what a small world.
00:47:07Yeah.
00:47:08There's something rotten.
00:47:11Oh.
00:47:12Well, I guess I'm just wondering if this is a conflict of interest?
00:47:21Oh, no.
00:47:22No, it's a happy coincidence.
00:47:24I don't judge the showcase.
00:47:26I have no effect on the outcome.
00:47:28Ah.
00:47:29I mean, I'll be at the judging to represent the foundation,
00:47:32but I have no sway on who wins.
00:47:36I see.
00:47:39So you'll be at the judging?
00:47:41Of course.
00:47:44What's wrong?
00:47:45Nothing.
00:47:45Nothing is wrong.
00:47:49You are never going to believe what happened.
00:47:55What's wrong?
00:47:56How was the date?
00:47:57Better question is, who is the date?
00:47:59Michael is actually Michael Herman.
00:48:02From the Herman Arts Foundation?
00:48:05No way.
00:48:06Yes way.
00:48:08When I told Renee about Canvas Creations,
00:48:11she mentioned the head of the foundation was interested,
00:48:13but I didn't realize that that was Michael.
00:48:16Huh?
00:48:16How funny.
00:48:17No, not funny.
00:48:19Why?
00:48:19Who cares?
00:48:20So you went on a date.
00:48:21He's not a judge, right?
00:48:23No, he's not a judge.
00:48:25And I won't be a contestant.
00:48:27Why not?
00:48:28Because I can't display a painting of a shadowy man
00:48:33giving me the exact rose Michael gave me
00:48:36standing in front of the colonnade
00:48:38exactly like the one he took me on a date
00:48:41in front of the art exhibition
00:48:44exactly like the one he plans on hosting this summer.
00:48:47Oh, yeah, that's bad.
00:48:50Yeah.
00:48:52What am I going to do?
00:48:53My painting is due in five days,
00:48:55and I have nothing.
00:48:57No, you have something.
00:48:58What?
00:49:00Do you have five days?
00:49:03Great.
00:49:05I know I said I would deliver it today,
00:49:08but I need a few more days.
00:49:11Jamie, I need your painting in four days.
00:49:14Will you have it finished?
00:49:15Definitely.
00:49:15I have already made waves
00:49:17accepting your unfinished submission.
00:49:19Otherwise, I will have to give you spots to someone else.
00:49:22I understand.
00:49:23Okay.
00:49:39Hi, honey.
00:49:40I thought we were going to start construction until next week.
00:49:43The contractor had a cancellation so he could begin earlier.
00:49:47Oh, that's right.
00:49:48Dad texted me about that.
00:49:51They were sad.
00:49:52Oh.
00:49:52He's been here with the workers since 7 a.m.,
00:49:54so he just went to get them lunch.
00:49:57That is so sweet.
00:49:58Oh, I feel bad.
00:50:02I mean, I should be the one here at 7 a.m.
00:50:04I should be the one getting them lunch.
00:50:05It's okay, honey.
00:50:06He knows this is a hectic time for you.
00:50:09So, I have been waiting.
00:50:12Tell me all about Michael.
00:50:13He's great.
00:50:18He's smart, cultured, very handsome.
00:50:24I mean, he is literally my vision board come to life.
00:50:30Somehow.
00:50:35I don't know.
00:50:36There's something missing.
00:50:37When I first met him, I got, like, fluttery.
00:50:43And I didn't have that last night.
00:50:46I know.
00:50:47There's not always an immediate connection.
00:50:50So, we're going out again.
00:50:51He's going to take me to an art show opening.
00:50:54So, I think it just takes time.
00:50:58Jamie?
00:50:59Yeah?
00:51:00You shouldn't have to convince yourself.
00:51:07Who is it?
00:51:13Uh, it's me.
00:51:15Come in.
00:51:18Hi.
00:51:19Hey.
00:51:20I just made a bunch of cookies,
00:51:21and I figured I better get them out of my apartment
00:51:22before I eat them all, and I thought of you.
00:51:26Ah, well, that is very sweet.
00:51:32Is this your painting for the showcase?
00:51:35Yeah.
00:51:35Can I see it?
00:51:36Um, it's very minimalist.
00:51:44Mm.
00:51:45Okay, what happened?
00:51:46I thought you were almost done this.
00:51:48Well, long story short,
00:51:52be careful what you wish for.
00:51:55My last painting went awry,
00:52:00and instead of taking it as a sign
00:52:02I should give up on art,
00:52:03I've never wanted to paint more.
00:52:08That's great.
00:52:09Yeah, but I have a point canvas.
00:52:13What would you tell one of your students?
00:52:20I would tell them
00:52:21not to focus on making,
00:52:24but on feeling.
00:52:27I would tell them
00:52:29I would tell them
00:52:29to have fun.
00:52:32I would tell them to be playful.
00:52:34Yeah.
00:52:40Yeah.
00:52:43That was playful, no?
00:52:50You didn't.
00:52:53I did.
00:52:54I did.
00:53:05Oh.
00:53:05Oh, okay.
00:53:06Hmm.
00:53:08Okay.
00:53:09Yeah, I dare you go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, go for it, it's
00:53:24coming, oh, oh, nice try, I should get back to work, okay, but thank you for the cookies,
00:53:39no problem, I like this, colors are interesting, they're gorgeous, great, after you, thank
00:54:01you, thank you, thanks, cheers, cheers,
00:54:09oh, there's some curators I want you to show your work to, oh, I don't think I'm ready
00:54:14for that, of course you are, I've no doubt you'll stun them with your talent,
00:54:18well, it's very sweet, but first I actually have to have something to show them,
00:54:26what about your showcase submission, I thought you were almost finished,
00:54:30there was a hiccup, that hiccup sounds stressful, it is, it's a stressful time,
00:54:40I had to start over on my painting while also teaching and working with my dad to open another
00:54:47canvas creations, we're looking to franchise, so it's, that's incredible, you think, of course,
00:54:54it'll be a steady source of income that gives you security, yeah, that's true, but I mean,
00:55:00the expansion means I won't have any time to paint, now, maybe, but it's a short-term sacrifice for a
00:55:06long-term gain, and you can paint on the side, right, yeah, but I'm a painter, not a paint on the side,
00:55:16yes, but art is a living, it's an uncertain future, as you know, I'm not saying you should
00:55:24give up on painting, I know how difficult the art world is, and it's good to have a backup plan,
00:55:31should we see the work,
00:55:34wow, thank you for bringing me, thank you for coming,
00:55:50Michael, I think you're wonderful, and I've really enjoyed our time together, but,
00:56:02uh, you're using the past tense, I mean, we have so much in common, it seems like we'd be perfect,
00:56:12and yet, somehow, I just don't think we're the right match,
00:56:18but I'd still love to teach you,
00:56:22if that's something you want,
00:56:27I'll give it some thought,
00:56:30okay,
00:56:34you never stop,
00:56:44well, there is a special magic to night gardening,
00:56:49the flowering plants come out,
00:56:52the jasmine,
00:56:53I'm glad I caught you,
00:56:56I have something for you,
00:56:58wait here one second,
00:57:04okay,
00:57:06for your inspiration,
00:57:13and if, uh, that doesn't work,

00:57:20thank you,
00:57:24no problem,

00:57:59oh,
00:58:00you,
00:58:01oh,
00:58:31Hey, Dad.
00:58:53Hi, honey. Just wondering if you're on your way.
00:58:56We were supposed to pick out paint today.
00:58:58Hey.
00:58:59I'm actually already back at the studio.
00:59:02Dad, I am so sorry.
00:59:04My piece is due in three days, and I was up all night working on it.
00:59:07I completely forgot we were meeting.
00:59:11That's okay. We can pick out paint some other day.
00:59:14But, Jamie, good luck with your piece.
00:59:22I come bearing cake.
00:59:38Thank you so much for picking it up.
00:59:40Oh, you're welcome.
00:59:41Cute.
00:59:41Hey, you have not texted me back since your date with Michael.
00:59:47Are you hiding something from me?
00:59:49Actually.
00:59:53Hi.
00:59:53Hey, guys.
00:59:55Hey.
00:59:56Hi.
00:59:58Oh.
00:59:58Thank you for picking up the extra cupcakes.
01:00:02No problem.
01:00:07So what do you think?
01:00:13Hi.
01:00:14Your daughter is so talented.
01:00:17Miss Jamie.
01:00:17Miss Jamie.
01:00:18Yes.
01:00:19Hi.
01:00:20I finished in time.
01:00:23I knew you could do it.
01:00:25I'm so proud of you.
01:00:27Thank you so much.
01:00:29Of course.
01:00:38So, what do you think?
01:00:40Well, I think it's safe to say this is an occasion where you can say even a kid could have done this one.
01:00:48Kidding.
01:00:49It's great.
01:00:52We're lucky to have you as a teacher.
01:00:54Wow.
01:00:55Vice versa.
01:01:05Excuse me.
01:01:07Is that Michael?
01:01:08Yeah, I didn't know he was coming.
01:01:09Hi.
01:01:12Wow.
01:01:13Well, I'm glad you decided to show your work.
01:01:17I decided it's good to put myself out there.
01:01:20Even if I don't get the reception I hope for.
01:01:24Jamie, I won't try to pretend.
01:01:26I like you.
01:01:27I was hoping we'd have a future.
01:01:30But I know that, like with painting, what matters is how it feels.
01:01:39Who is that?
01:01:41It's Jamie's dream man.
01:01:44Wait, wait.
01:01:44Who is that?
01:01:46His name is Michael.
01:01:47He runs the arts festival.
01:01:50Jamie's dating him.
01:01:52What?
01:01:52I'm sorry, Max.
01:01:53I didn't want you to get hurt.
01:01:55Why would I get hurt?
01:01:57Come on.
01:01:57You have a thing for Jamie.
01:01:59You always had a thing for Jamie.
01:02:01A thing?
01:02:03Well, what is the right word for 15 years of unspoken feelings?
01:02:08Max, maybe it's time to speak those feelings.
01:02:12Because we saw you and Jamie before, and it looks like she feels it too.
01:02:15Yeah, I gotta go.
01:02:20Baby steps.
01:02:21Hey, uh, you hungry?
01:02:34I made dinner.
01:02:37I could eat.
01:02:41Wow, your apartment is so nice.
01:02:46I'll try not to be offended by how surprised you sound.
01:02:49Whoa.
01:02:49I thought that you shouldn't have to wait till your show in Paris to eat French food.
01:02:56Well, I have no idea how I'll possibly win that show, but thank you.
01:03:02You know how to stir?
01:03:03Ah, stirring is about the limit of my culinary talents.
01:03:08Well, at least you have that.
01:03:09Uh-huh.
01:03:09Mm-hmm.
01:03:12I didn't know you cooked.
01:03:14Yeah, you know, I dabble.
01:03:16Tonight, I made a Parisian dish called pomme à l'égout.
01:03:20Oh.
01:03:21It's just a fancy way of saying mashed potatoes with fondue on it.
01:03:27So, the French birthed Saison and Monet, and now their greatest masterpiece, cheesy potatoes.
01:03:35What about their true masterpiece?
01:03:37Monet's water lilies.
01:03:39Oh, French fries.
01:03:43Of course.
01:03:44Of course.
01:03:44So, um, I saw you at the art exhibit talking to...
01:04:12Michael.
01:04:14Right.
01:04:15What's going on between you two?
01:04:18Well, um, I was teaching him to paint, and we went on a date, and then I ended things.
01:04:31Why?
01:04:32You know, I'm not sure.
01:04:35Exactly.
01:04:36But things are over between you now?
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:43Okay, um...
01:04:45Glad to hear that.
01:04:49I have something to tell you.
01:04:51Okay.
01:04:52Remember that whole year I pretended to be your secret admirer?
01:04:57Mm-hmm.
01:04:57I wasn't pretending.
01:04:59It wasn't a joke.
01:05:01Everything that I wrote was true.
01:05:04That's how I felt.
01:05:07I was going to tell you that day at the bikes.
01:05:10I was there.
01:05:12But when I saw you, I just...
01:05:15I chickened out.
01:05:16And now, I'm here, trying to find the courage to tell you that 15 years later, I'm still an admirer.
01:05:30But I don't want it to be a secret anymore.
01:05:35Jamie, I have feelings for you.
01:05:38Oh, well, um, thank you for telling me.
01:05:47I mean, I really don't know what to say.
01:05:49I...
01:05:50Spending time with you has been great.
01:05:54But, Max, I worry that next week you'll be interested in someplace else.
01:06:04Something else.
01:06:05Someone else.
01:06:06I mean, I know you.
01:06:08No, no.
01:06:10You...
01:06:11You think you know me.
01:06:13But...
01:06:13This?
01:06:15This is who I am.
01:06:19Someone who wants to be with you.
01:06:21Someone who always has.
01:06:28Oh, um...
01:06:29Can I think about it?
01:06:31These cheese potatoes are not going to eat themselves.
01:06:37Bon appetit.
01:06:38I'm so sorry.
01:06:48I'm so sorry.
01:06:52That's too stressful.
01:06:54I know.
01:06:55I know.
01:06:55I'm so sorry.
01:06:57I have a question of a piece of these...
01:06:57I mean, ladies and gentlemen...
01:06:58You know what I'm terrible?
01:07:00Isn't it?
01:07:00I'm so sorry.
01:07:01Then you come on.
01:07:01I got exactly to get a little bit to go to this but,
01:07:02you blow shit...
01:07:03You back to this b repeal.
01:07:04versuchen, any believers to be הת área
01:07:04So, uh...
01:07:06So, uh, Sundance or Golden Light?
01:07:09Uh, well, they're both great.
01:07:13You decide.
01:07:14I've never known you to be laissez-faire about paint.
01:07:17Dad, they're both good options.
01:07:20You don't like either?
01:07:22I think I have some samples in the back.
01:07:31I finished my painting.
01:07:33That's wonderful.
01:07:35And as soon as I did, I felt like I want to start another one.
01:07:40And that made me realize I want to be painting.
01:07:46And on my breaks from painting, teaching.
01:07:50I don't want to be running a big business.
01:07:53I don't want to be hiring or marketing.
01:07:55So tell your dad.
01:07:57But he's so excited.
01:07:59I mean, I haven't seen him as happy in years.
01:08:01Plus, we've sunk so much time and money into this place.
01:08:06It just, I mean, it feels wrong to consider pulling away.
01:08:10But it feels worse to keep going,
01:08:16knowing every minute I'd be here,
01:08:18I would want to be painting.
01:08:19I found the samples.
01:08:28Great.
01:08:29Jamie, please tell me you have some good news.
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I finished this morning.
01:08:44Full disclosure, it's not the painting you approved.
01:08:47But, Renee, I think it is so much better.
01:08:50Here's a picture.
01:08:56And you'll have this delivered to me by tonight.
01:09:07Yes, tonight.
01:09:14Excuse me.
01:09:18Thank you so much.
01:09:22Thanks.
01:09:23Why are you avoiding me?
01:09:25I'm not avoiding you.
01:09:26Yes, you are.
01:09:27Since your date was Michael.
01:09:29What happened?
01:09:30Did you hello?
01:09:30Uh, no.
01:09:32The date was fine.
01:09:34Michael likes me.
01:09:35He expressed he hoped we'd have a future.
01:09:38Why do I feel like I should hold the confetti?
01:09:40Because I ended it.
01:09:41What?
01:09:42Why?
01:09:43Because I'm falling for Max.
01:09:44Oh, Jamie.
01:09:45You know I love Max, but you know how Max is.
01:09:47He can't commit to anything.
01:09:48I know.
01:09:49Michael seemed so perfect.
01:09:50And he's talking about a future?
01:09:52Again, I know.
01:09:53So, it makes no sense.
01:09:55You painted that whole vision board about Michael.
01:09:57I mean, that has to mean something.
01:09:59I think it means that in painting what I thought I want, I realized what I need.
01:10:06I mean, I just don't want you or Max to get hurt.
01:10:11I know, me either.
01:10:13Oof.
01:10:14I have to go.
01:10:15Uh, dinner tonight?
01:10:16Oh, yeah.
01:10:17Tom and I are going to Patricio's for pizza with Max.
01:10:21I guess we can double date now.
01:10:25Okay.
01:10:25Bye.
01:10:26Bye.
01:10:27Oh, perfect.
01:10:28Yes.
01:10:32Bye.
01:10:34Hi.
01:10:36Jamie just left.
01:10:38Really?
01:10:40Sad I missed her.
01:10:40I bet you are.
01:10:41I bet I am.
01:10:43She told me something's been going on between the two of you.
01:10:45What did she say?
01:10:46Look, Max, you know I love you, and I think you're all of these amazing things, but I don't
01:10:52want you to sweep Jamie off her feet into some whirlwind romance, and then two months
01:10:56from now, just up and leave her.
01:10:59I would never do that.
01:11:00Are you sure?
01:11:01Because you don't have the best track record.
01:11:04Yeah, I know, but...
01:11:04You never thought you could have her, so you didn't have to take your feelings seriously
01:11:08to actually commit.
01:11:09And Jamie deserves someone who can commit.
01:11:12She was just dating someone who wanted to, and she broke it off with him to be with
01:11:16you.
01:11:19Just...
01:11:20Don't hurt her.
01:11:35Hey, neighbor.
01:11:37Hey.
01:11:38Are you free?
01:11:38I want to show you my painting before I turn it in.
01:11:42Actually, I'm not.
01:11:43I have something to do with work, so...
01:11:45Oh, work?
01:11:46Yeah.
01:11:47Okay, Max, what's going on?
01:11:50Jamie, I...
01:11:51I think you should be with Michael.
01:11:55Are you...
01:11:57joking?
01:11:59No.
01:12:01Look, we both know that you deserve someone who can give you everything.
01:12:05Someone who can commit.
01:12:06Okay, well, I didn't ask you or anyone to commit.
01:12:08But it's really good to know you still can.
01:12:12I mean, Max, you pursued me.
01:12:18You told me that you had feelings for me that you always have, and now I have feelings for
01:12:22you, and you're pulling away?
01:12:24But why?
01:12:25Because you're so scared of anything even remotely resembling commitment?
01:12:30No.
01:12:30Because I want you to be happy.
01:12:33No, that is not why.
01:12:36It's because this is who you are.
01:12:40You get so excited about something or someone, and then the second it stops being fun and starts
01:12:48being real, you just get scared and run away.
01:12:51You talk a big game about following your heart and living with no regret, and the truth
01:12:57is, that is either all talk, or when it comes to us, there is just no heart and no regret.
01:13:09So, I guess it's true, then.
01:13:19Every time I'm around you, I get hurt.
01:13:23Okay, okay.
01:13:24Okay.
01:13:24Okay.
01:13:38Okay.
01:14:38I have no option but to replace your painting.
01:14:42I'm sorry.
01:14:43Honey, we've been trying to call you.
01:15:09Jamie, what's going on?
01:15:10What's going on is I lost my place in the showcase and I am not going to win the show in Paris.
01:15:16And I have no idea what my future as a professional artist looks like.
01:15:20But even with all of that, I still don't want to give up on painting.
01:15:25Dad, I'm sorry.
01:15:28I know this entire expansion was my idea and you're trying to help.
01:15:33But I just want to paint.
01:15:35And I teach when I can.
01:15:36I know you do.
01:15:38Glad you realized it, too.
01:15:39But you knew?
01:15:42Well, then why didn't you tell me?
01:15:44You had to figure it out on your own.
01:15:45I'm just glad you did it now and not 20 years from now.
01:15:51I'm sorry.
01:15:52Don't be sorry.
01:15:53You doing just this was fun.
01:15:55It gave me a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
01:15:57You mean other than your wife and daughter.
01:16:00I'll find something else to do.
01:16:06You know, Dad, you want me to be happy and I want you to be happy, too.
01:16:15Do you love this?
01:16:18If I helped get it running and consulted as an artist in residence,
01:16:23could you continue without me and run the business?
01:16:27Is that something you'd want to do?
01:16:28Definitely.
01:16:31Then yes.
01:16:33I mean, it'll be hard without you, but I'll be happy knowing you're doing exactly what you should be doing.
01:16:41But, Jamie, how did you lose your spot in the showcase?
01:16:45Oh, I messed up my painting.
01:16:48And you can't fix it?
01:16:49No.
01:16:53But maybe I could start over.
01:16:58My mind's been stuck in the in-between, been trying to find it easy for the last three weeks.
01:17:05I can't go back.
01:17:07I can't go back.
01:17:10Always been a dreamer on a crazy ride, but it feels like I've been waiting at the end of the line.
01:17:15I can't go back.
01:17:16I can't go back.
01:17:16I can't go back.
01:17:19Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know.
01:17:22I used to be where I want to go.
01:17:24Now I finally, finally, finally, finally know.
01:17:27Oh, I can't believe it only gets better.
01:17:34Oh, I can't believe it only gets better.
01:17:38Oh, I can't believe it only gets better.
01:17:44Oh, I can't believe it only gets better.
01:18:14I have no idea if this will work, but I will be back.
01:18:18Okay.
01:18:18For sure.
01:18:19Yeah.
01:18:19Renee.
01:18:20Jamie.
01:18:21I had to give your spot to someone else.
01:18:24I know, and I completely understand.
01:18:26But I have just poured my heart into this, and I was...
01:18:32I was just hoping you could.
01:18:36Oh, thank you.
01:18:44Oh.
01:18:47I can't put this in the showcase.
01:18:50It wouldn't be fair.
01:18:51I understand.
01:18:52But we can still show this.
01:18:55You can?
01:18:57How?
01:18:59You'll see.
01:19:00Leave it to me.
01:19:08Where have you been?
01:19:09I've called a hundred times.
01:19:10I know.
01:19:10I'm sorry.
01:19:12Long story short, right after I told you about Max,
01:19:15he, in typical Max fashion,
01:19:18lost interest and broke it off,
01:19:21and he said he thought I'd be better dating Michael.
01:19:23Oh, no.
01:19:24Oh, yes.
01:19:25No, that's not what happened.
01:19:26I gave Max a talking to,
01:19:29and I might have been a little harsh
01:19:31and said that Michael was what was best for you.
01:19:34What?
01:19:35I'm sorry.
01:19:36I had good intentions.
01:19:40So, Max backed off
01:19:43because he wanted what was best for me?
01:19:47I thought that was Michael.
01:19:49Yeah.
01:19:50Ava, look, I know Max and I do not make sense.
01:19:54But when I'm with him,
01:19:57I feel like I do want to paint him.
01:20:01You know, like,
01:20:02like it's where I should be.
01:20:05It's all I've ever wanted for you.
01:20:09Maybe next time just, like,
01:20:12a little less mentally.
01:20:13Deal.
01:20:16Besides, you would make the best sister-in-law.
01:20:21Or aunt.
01:20:23Your brother.
01:20:24It's still early.
01:20:29Revelation.
01:20:30I'm so happy for you.
01:20:32I have a million questions.
01:20:34I want to hear everything.
01:20:36Right now.
01:20:37You have to go find Max.
01:20:38Yes.
01:20:40Is he here?
01:20:40Yeah, he's at the car in for the fifth.
01:20:42Hi.
01:20:43Gotta go.
01:20:44Hey, bye.
01:20:44All right, everyone.
01:20:45If I could have your attention, please.
01:20:47We are about to announce our winner
01:20:49of the Emerging Artist Showcase.
01:20:52If I could have my judges step on stage with me, please.
01:21:02Max!
01:21:04Max!
01:21:05I have to talk to you.
01:21:07Uh, can I wait a minute?
01:21:08I'm sorry.
01:21:09No.
01:21:11It can't.
01:21:12I'm so sorry.
01:21:13I'm just in the middle of a job interview.
01:21:14Not an interview.
01:21:15You know the job's yours if you want it.
01:21:18The landscape architect position?
01:21:20You're staying.
01:21:21Give me a minute.
01:21:23Mm-hmm.
01:21:26Yes.
01:21:27Someone wise, who apparently knows how I should be living my life more than I do,
01:21:32told me that not committing comes with regrets of its own.
01:21:36And you were right.
01:21:38I would regret giving up.
01:21:40I would regret running when I was scared.
01:21:42I would regret not giving myself a chance to see who I could really be.
01:21:48Most of all, I would regret not doing everything I can to be with you.
01:22:01Hold that thought.
01:22:02My painting's being displayed, and I really want to show you.
01:22:06Jamie.
01:22:19No.
01:22:27Rene.
01:22:28After the art festival, I want you to find me,
01:22:31so I can talk about a group show.
01:22:36It's beautiful.
01:22:48Now, aren't you glad you took my advice and committed?
01:22:52You know, you are still exasperating.
01:23:00You're still smiling.
01:23:01Oh.
01:23:02Bye.
01:23:02Bye.
01:23:02Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:03Bye.
01:23:05Bye.
01:23:28Bye.
