00:00:00Remember, Amanda, snappy, confident, and relatable.
00:00:08We are going viral.
00:00:10No problemo, baby.
00:00:12We're going live in three, two, one.
00:00:17Hey, Stance.
00:00:18It's your girl, Amanda.
00:00:20Outfit check for my very first gala.
00:00:23What do we think?
00:00:25Can you believe it?
00:00:26The theme is Enchanted Garden.
00:00:28Ooh.
00:00:30So comment below if you think I'm going to slay that carpet.
00:00:35And don't forget to accessorize, babes.
00:00:39And that's me.
00:00:41What?
00:00:42Amanda, you forgot to say Lavro.
00:00:44Ugh, whatever.
00:00:46No, no, no, no, no.
00:00:48Whoops.
00:00:49No, no, no.
00:00:50It's broken.
00:00:52Janelle, do you have your phone?
00:00:53Yes.
00:00:53Okay, please sit around the tripod.
00:00:55Stop drinking.
00:00:57Amanda, please.
00:00:58I don't pay you to be my nanny.
00:01:01I pay you to make me look good on soap.
00:01:04Precisely my point.
00:01:05Your brand is Elevated YA, not Drunk Influencer.
00:01:08Let's do a rehearsal, okay?
00:01:10Lavro.
00:01:11Lavro.
00:01:12Lavro.
00:01:13Hey, one more thing.
00:01:16Dance.
00:01:17Never, ever leave your house without your Lavro.
00:01:21And that's me.
00:01:27Okay.
00:01:28It's okay.
00:01:29Janelle, you're like a mosquito.
00:01:31I can fix this.
00:01:32I can fix this.
00:01:32Janelle, Janelle, do we have a backup dress?
00:01:34Okay, on that.
00:01:35On to that.
00:01:36Vamos, vamos.
00:01:36Okay, um, I can fix this.
00:01:38Uh, hair and makeup.
00:01:39Let's bring them back in.
00:01:40Okay.
00:01:41I can fix this.
00:01:42I can fix this.
00:01:43Wait.
00:01:45Are we lost?
00:01:45I want to do it how I want to do things.
00:01:50I'll make the rules and I don't care what you say.
00:01:54But then I said no como quiero, hey, hey.
00:01:57My way, my way.
00:02:00Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:02:04Mom.
00:02:06Your quince años are going to be espectaculares, Danny.
00:02:09Hola, Ma.
00:02:11Nana, ¿cómo te fue?
00:02:13It was great.
00:02:14Yeah.
00:02:14Yeah, yeah, Amanda just put it all out there.
00:02:18I knew it.
00:02:19Tienes chispa, nena.
00:02:21Just like your abuela.
00:02:23You always find a way to shine through no matter what.
00:02:27Yeah, with so much sparkle, she's going to blow up on the internet.
00:02:29I am so proud of you, nena.
00:02:32Isa, Danny chose her dress.
00:02:35En serio?
00:02:36We're going to have such a beautiful celebration together.
00:02:40Let me know when the lawyer gets back about the hearing.
00:02:42Les quiero mucho.
00:02:43Okay, Ma.
00:02:45Love you.
00:02:45Love you too.
00:02:46Bye.
00:02:51What?
00:02:52You lied to Mama.
00:02:53It was a disaster, Danny.
00:02:54I couldn't tell her.
00:02:56She has so much on her plate already.
00:02:57If you're out of a job, we won't be able to pay the immigration lawyer.
00:03:00And if we can't pay the lawyer, then Mama will never come home.
00:03:03I'll figure it out, Danny.
00:03:05I always do.
00:03:07Isa, it's a meme.
00:03:09It's gone viral.
00:03:10What?
00:03:12I can fix this.
00:03:14I can fix this.
00:03:16I can fix this.
00:03:17Oh, no.
00:03:17I can fix this.
00:03:19I'll make calls.
00:03:20I'll make calls and I'll have a lineup of clients in no time.
00:03:23You had to replace the 11 clients that took you two years together, you're going to lose overnight.
00:03:27Danny, listen to me.
00:03:28I know this is a huge setback, but Mama is right.
00:03:31We have generations of chispa in our blood.
00:03:34I can fix this.
00:03:36Well, at least you've got a catchphrase.
00:03:39My packages are completely bespoke, down to custom content calendars, video filters I create myself.
00:03:46You're, I can fix this.
00:03:47Oh.
00:03:47Right?
00:03:48You heard about that.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:52Thanks for taking my call.
00:03:53Yes, and I can help turn your fan base into a community.
00:04:02Hello?
00:04:03Shifting your corporate image will open you up to a brand new clientele.
00:04:07It's just not the right time for us.
00:04:09Okay.
00:04:10Thank you, though.
00:04:11No problem.
00:04:12Thank you for taking my call.
00:04:23Hey, Squink.
00:04:29How did it go?
00:04:30Coach Reg recommended me for Dance Attack.
00:04:32I need to make a video for Childs.
00:04:35IncreÃble.
00:04:36I'll help.
00:04:36I don't really think I want to do it or have my quinceanera.
00:04:39You love dance.
00:04:41You've been waiting for your quince all year.
00:04:43Yeah, but they both cost money.
00:04:46Listen, Danny.
00:04:47I spilt the milk.
00:04:49I'll clean it up.
00:04:50There is no way I'm letting you give up on the things you love.
00:04:53Yeah, but I love my mom more.
00:04:55She'll be with us in no time.
00:04:57Look, why don't we go to the park and see if you change your mind?
00:05:01And we can both use some serious chispa.
00:05:06I'll make you your favorite food when we're back.
00:05:08And chiladas.
00:05:09With molly?
00:05:09With molly.
00:05:10Come on.
00:05:16This move could be a lifeline for Papyrus Park Publishing.
00:05:19By specializing in big pharma, IT guides, and technical books, we'd be guaranteed new business for the first time since Q2 of last year.
00:05:28So, you just turn out manuals now?
00:05:30No more actual authors?
00:05:32We still have our established names, but no, we would not take on any new indie authors.
00:05:38Factory for big pharma.
00:05:40Edna would have loved that.
00:05:42Edna's not around anymore, Frank.
00:05:44We're in crisis mode, and Theo's idea is going to work.
00:05:48We have to face facts.
00:05:49Our sales dropped 19.7% in one quarter.
00:05:51That's every small publisher's worst nightmare.
00:05:54We have an opportunity to pitch ZQE Tech, which could lead to huge ventures.
00:05:59But we have to vote.
00:06:01I know it's soon, considering Edna's been gone a month.
00:06:04But I know if my grandmother was here, she would...
00:06:09I tried to stop her, Theo.
00:06:25I'll be right back.
00:06:27Frank thought Camilla should stay with the lawyer until things settled, but he won't
00:06:36keep her another day, and the sixth dog sitter just quit.
00:06:41She was in the list of heirlooms.
00:06:44I thought Graham left her to her doorman.
00:06:46I never thought she'd leave her to me.
00:06:48You go that way.
00:06:49I don't care who knows.
00:07:13¡Eso, es Queen Club!
00:07:14Okay, vuelta.
00:07:20Y salto.
00:07:22¡Eh!
00:07:24Oh.
00:07:25Hey.
00:07:26Hi.
00:07:27Careful.
00:07:28She can be vicious.
00:07:30Pat?
00:07:32Good girl.
00:07:34Yeah, really vicious.
00:07:36Wow.
00:07:40Suits you.
00:07:41Hey, tranquila.
00:07:48Ven acá.
00:07:49Sorry, what are you saying to her?
00:07:51Come here.
00:07:53No, not you, her.
00:07:55Oh, of course.
00:07:57Yeah.
00:07:58I had no idea Camilla knew Spanish.
00:07:59Uh, would you happen to be interested in dog-sitting for a few hours?
00:08:10It's sort of an emergency.
00:08:12You don't even know me.
00:08:13Well, I'm Theo.
00:08:14This is Camilla.
00:08:15I'm Isa, and I could be insane.
00:08:18Yeah, completely loca.
00:08:20My sister, Dani.
00:08:21Hi.
00:08:22Hi.
00:08:22Look, I'm at my wit's end and have to convince a room full of people to make a very important
00:08:26decision, and I'm not really sure I know what I'm doing, but I have to pretend I do, otherwise
00:08:29it's all going to blow up in my face.
00:08:31Besides, Camilla is somewhat loca herself.
00:08:34I think you'll get along fine.
00:08:36I'm not a dog-sitter.
00:08:37Sorry.
00:08:38What?
00:08:38$200.
00:08:39Three hours.
00:08:42$300.
00:08:43Deal.
00:08:43Deal.
00:08:44Deal.
00:08:44Drop her off here after six.
00:08:59Oh.
00:08:59Yeah.
00:09:01Okay.
00:09:05Oh, she's so cute.
00:09:06Look what she's doing here.
00:09:07Dani, hold it.
00:09:09Come here.
00:09:09Come here.
00:09:10Come here.
00:09:14Camilla, sit.
00:09:19Sentada.
00:09:21Sentada.
00:09:23Good girl.
00:09:24Why does Camilla know Spanish?
00:09:26Suit guy clearly doesn't speak a word.
00:09:29Oh, wow.
00:09:32Theo's like royalty.
00:09:34Apparently his mom was a movie star.
00:09:37Cute, rich, and famous.
00:09:39Cool.
00:09:40Whatever.
00:09:41Those words are usually like magnets for you.
00:09:45Oh, how sad.
00:09:46Both his parents died in a car crash when he was six.
00:09:50The hermit of Fifth Avenue.
00:09:53Huh?
00:09:54Like a shut-in?
00:09:55Maybe he's a double agent from Canada.
00:09:57Or maybe he turns into an ogre at night.
00:10:02Oh, don't worry, Camilla.
00:10:04Ogres don't like dogs.
00:10:07That's it?
00:10:08What?
00:10:10Camilla.
00:10:10When the going gets tough, the roughs get going.
00:10:17Camilla, we need to go see your dad.
00:10:19You can find me where the bosses be in the highest ways.
00:10:25Where we're running things, running things.
00:10:27You can find me where the bosses be in the highest ways.
00:10:33Where we're running things, running things.
00:10:35And tops.
00:10:42Come on.
00:10:43Good girl.
00:10:45Ah, the locusts survived each other.
00:10:48Live in la vida.
00:10:49Right, Camilita?
00:10:50I appreciate it.
00:10:51This rascal got me into enough trouble for one day.
00:10:54Yes.
00:10:55Yes.
00:10:56What?
00:10:57I'll take the job.
00:10:58I didn't...
00:10:58Listen, you have a lot on your plate at Papyrus Park.
00:11:01Which, higole, has published some of my favorite authors.
00:11:04But, like all publishing houses, you are struggling with increased paper costs, AI, corporate takeovers,
00:11:09and, as a recently appointed CEO, you won't have time to take care of your dog.
00:11:14You did your homework.
00:11:16It's called online stalking.
00:11:17Don't believe everything you read.
00:11:19But it's true, isn't it?
00:11:20You have a lot of responsibility now that your grandmother left you her dog.
00:11:24And you're down one briefcase.
00:11:28Camilla!
00:11:29And it looks like you still have some boxes to unpack.
00:11:33You said you're not a dog sitter.
00:11:34Let's just say I hit a fork in the road, and I am now expanding my career opportunities.
00:11:40You can call me a dog chaperone.
00:11:43A dog chaperone?
00:11:45Sounds better than sitter.
00:11:46Look, I really don't...
00:11:47And I can teach her not to pee on your floor.
00:11:51Ugh.
00:11:56Shall we say tomorrow?
00:11:588 a.m.?
00:12:03For the elevator.
00:12:05Oh.
00:12:09I don't know what you're saying.
00:12:37I can fix this.
00:12:56I can fix this.
00:12:57Nathan, I need you to call this dog sitter I just hired.
00:13:06I changed my...
00:13:08Camilla!
00:13:09Those are my Pietra Gamos!
00:13:14Morning!
00:13:15Good, you're here.
00:13:17I'm minus a pair of shoes and two ties.
00:13:19I can fix this.
00:13:23Whoa.
00:13:24Is this monthly?
00:13:25Weekly wages will be transferred every second Friday.
00:13:28Weekly?
00:13:28Sign this.
00:13:29What is it, an NDA?
00:13:31I take my privacy very seriously.
00:13:36Something you may not know too much about.
00:13:38Issa Morgato, one of 2024's top social media managing wonders until her catastrophic fall
00:13:45from grace.
00:13:46I can fix this!
00:13:47Huh.
00:13:48You did your homework.
00:13:50I've been online stalked, too.
00:13:53I almost called you last night to cancel.
00:13:54What does my phenomenal screw-up on social media have to do with taking care of Camilla?
00:13:59Just so we're clear, I want nothing to do with social media.
00:14:03I don't do it.
00:14:04I don't want to appear in it.
00:14:05I don't like or subscribe.
00:14:07End of story.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:10Why?
00:14:11Well, because it's superfluous, petty, and judgmental.
00:14:13It's like humanity in its most degrading expression.
00:14:17Wow, that's harsh.
00:14:18I speak from experience.
00:14:20Sorry if I offend your livelihood.
00:14:22You have nothing to worry about.
00:14:23Right now, my livelihood is as dog chaperona.
00:14:28Camilla's itinerary.
00:14:30It's ridiculous, I know.
00:14:32But my grandmother wanted it, so please follow.
00:14:35Spa, reiki, playdates, photo shoot.
00:14:39Camilla has more of a social life than me and my sister put together.
00:14:42The only reason I agreed to this arrangement is because my grandmother loved Camilla.
00:14:48Well, at that end, the fact that Camilla practically made my office implode
00:14:51and is going through my closet at an astonishing rate.
00:14:53But mostly, it's for Edna.
00:14:55I clearly cannot give this dog what it needs.
00:14:58So if you can, then I can go do my job and save my company.
00:15:03I can do that.
00:15:04And you never know.
00:15:06Camilla might end up loving you by then.
00:15:09You'll need to make an appointment at the vet.
00:15:10Camilla's not eating.
00:15:12Well...
00:15:13Camilla's not eating.
00:15:14Okay.
00:15:15Camilla.
00:15:15Camilla.
00:15:15Bye.
00:15:20Avioncito.
00:15:21Vroom, vroom, vroom.
00:15:24Come on, Camila, you have to eat.
00:15:29Do I offend your royal highness?
00:15:38I love it.
00:15:42The human actually tried to feed me dog food.
00:15:45Not going to happen.
00:15:47Dani and Mama are going to love this.
00:15:54Oh, Theo used to smile a lot more back in the day, didn't he?
00:16:14Mexico?
00:16:16Camilita, you're Mexican?
00:16:18No wonder you're such a drama queen.
00:16:21You have telenovela in your blood.
00:16:24Oh, LaVrou, look at you.
00:16:30Fancy.
00:16:32How about some fresh air?
00:16:35Ay, Camila.
00:16:38Camila, I really need this job to get my family back together.
00:16:43Okay?
00:16:44Familia, like you and Edna.
00:16:47That's why you're so vicious, isn't it?
00:16:51Perro triste, mordida, feroz.
00:16:54Sad dog, fierce fight.
00:16:57That's you.
00:16:58I know you miss Edna.
00:17:00Pero la vida sigue.
00:17:02Life goes on.
00:17:04Soon, you'll find your chispa, Camilita.
00:17:07Chispa.
00:17:08I guess.
00:17:11The yapping tornado is back.
00:17:13I'm Isa, Camila Chaperone.
00:17:16Oh, you seem to be on her good side.
00:17:17I hope so.
00:17:19Okay, well, let me give you the tour.
00:17:21Wait until you see the massage area.
00:17:24The masseuse is from Austria.
00:17:26Oh.
00:17:27Q-doxy.
00:17:27Quite a cue.
00:17:31I've been following you forever.
00:17:33Oh, thanks for the support.
00:17:34Your posts on Hypatia are like nuggets of pure gold.
00:17:37The way you incorporate this fourth-century philosopher
00:17:40who was eons ahead of her time into modern-day life
00:17:43is so insightful.
00:17:45And she's still relevant and very underappreciated.
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:49I haven't seen you here before.
00:17:51Oh, I'm Isa.
00:17:52This is Camila.
00:17:53Oh, well, this is Bob.
00:17:54Nice meeting you, Isa and Camila.
00:17:58Um, guess we'll see you around.
00:18:00See you around.
00:18:01Bye, August.
00:18:01Bye, Gwena.
00:18:03That woman is like an explosion of brain provocation
00:18:06in every one of her posts.
00:18:08Yeah.
00:18:09She's pretty awesome.
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:11All right.
00:18:12So.
00:18:13So.
00:18:14We have doggy yoga.
00:18:16Okay.
00:18:16A doggy bar.
00:18:17Okay.
00:18:18On Fridays, we have psychic readings with Madame Morgana.
00:18:21And we have personal trainers for the dogs.
00:18:24But don't even bother.
00:18:26Camila's already been banned.
00:18:28So.
00:18:29I would suggest you just wait around for the next doggy yoga class.
00:18:32Doggy chill.
00:18:33Just what the doctor ordered.
00:18:34Okay.
00:18:36Now.
00:18:37Miss Camila.
00:18:39There will be no snapping.
00:18:41Or you will have Merlin the slobbering St. Bernard as your play buddy.
00:18:44Okay?
00:18:45All right.
00:18:47Good luck.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:48We need to create your own filter.
00:19:09Maybe something sparkly.
00:19:12Slow-mo.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:14Now we need to find your voice, Camila.
00:19:16Okay.
00:19:18Esta.
00:19:19Perfect.
00:19:21Otra vez.
00:19:22Fighting over the bear again.
00:19:26That's it.
00:19:27Your own telenovela.
00:19:35Got a minute?
00:19:38So.
00:19:39Big Pharma and manuals.
00:19:41Yeah.
00:19:41I was just wondering how long have you and Wanda been planning this little bombshell?
00:19:46Since it was clear, Graham wouldn't be coming home from the hospital and I'd have to make
00:19:50decisions.
00:19:51You really think this is the answer?
00:19:52Frank, I am now responsible for the survival of this company.
00:19:55At what cost?
00:19:56They're losing its heart and soul?
00:19:58What I'm proposing will keep its heart beating.
00:20:00Sometimes that's not enough.
00:20:02Edna knew that.
00:20:03I don't know how to keep this company alive without cutting a deal that Graham would hate.
00:20:07I just don't see any other way.
00:20:10Okay, listen.
00:20:11Regardless of which way we go, I think we should postpone the vote until after the shareholders'
00:20:16reception.
00:20:17I'm not sure we should even be holding the reception.
00:20:19Frank, we're already drowning as it is.
00:20:20You know, it's not only professional protocol.
00:20:23It's also about reassuring our shareholders that Papyrus Park is headed in the right direction.
00:20:28I think getting us into the black would be very reassuring.
00:20:31It's also about honoring Edna.
00:20:36She loved these cocktail receptions, the mingling, the conversation.
00:20:40Making even the most novice authors feel like what they were saying mattered.
00:20:44So why don't we just put her panache back in the limelight just one last time?
00:20:49How am I supposed to argue with that?
00:20:51You're not.
00:20:55You've got this deal.
00:21:01Papyrus front desk.
00:21:03Any calls from the dog, chaperone?
00:21:05No, Mr. Garrison.
00:21:07Nothing?
00:21:08Nope.
00:21:08Come on, Camilita.
00:21:13You're going to love Abu's recipe.
00:21:22Yes!
00:21:29Sorry, it'll just take a minute.
00:21:31What happened here?
00:21:32And who's Abu?
00:21:34You're not the only one who had an amazing grandmother.
00:21:36Abu was someone who always found the chispa in life.
00:21:40Chispa?
00:21:41Sparkle.
00:21:42Well, I find it ridiculous to feed the dog human food, but I'm glad you got Camila to eat.
00:21:47Camila was just sad, and sadness starts in the stomach.
00:21:50Is that a medical fact?
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:53Just call me Dr. Morado.
00:21:57Excuse me.
00:22:01You know, when I was little and everything felt like too much,
00:22:04I would just stop eating.
00:22:06But then Abu would make me tamales de cochinita,
00:22:08and I don't know if it was her or the tamales.
00:22:11I would always feel better.
00:22:12Would you like some soup?
00:22:14Oh, I'm not saying you're sad, although you have every reason to be,
00:22:18given everything you've been through.
00:22:23Really, it's just chicken soup.
00:22:25For humans, too.
00:22:26No, no, I always order fettuccine.
00:22:32What I meant was I always order in.
00:22:36Today's fettuccine.
00:22:38Fettuccine.
00:22:40Yum.
00:22:44Well, thank you for getting her to eat.
00:22:47Of course.
00:22:48Of course.
00:22:48What's so funny?
00:23:05Otra vez.
00:23:06Fighting over the park.
00:23:09Oh, my gosh.
00:23:11Aztec princess?
00:23:12Turns out Camila is Mexican like me.
00:23:15Oh.
00:23:15Okay, well, I love the concept.
00:23:18It's like a doggy soap opera.
00:23:19A doggo novella.
00:23:21Mmm.
00:23:23Why haven't I seen these on social?
00:23:26Oh, I have them as private on my stories.
00:23:28Only my mom and my sister could see them.
00:23:30Now you.
00:23:31Why?
00:23:32They'd totally go viral.
00:23:33Oh, my boss would freak.
00:23:36Oh, okay.
00:23:38That's my sister, Dani.
00:23:39Oh.
00:23:41What's esquinkla?
00:23:43Esquinkla.
00:23:43Oh, esquinkla.
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:45You know those hairless Mexican dogs?
00:23:47Mm-hmm.
00:23:47Dani was a bald baby.
00:23:49Oh, okay.
00:23:51Well, y'all are cute, but the doggo novellas definitely take the prize.
00:23:56Speaking of which, look at this.
00:23:59A dog social media contest?
00:24:01Mm-hmm.
00:24:02With your experience, Camila could totally win.
00:24:08You even have a catchphrase.
00:24:10I can fix this!
00:24:11Don't worry.
00:24:12Nobody remembers the context.
00:24:13Liar.
00:24:14You're right.
00:24:15Uh, live streaming and aspiring artists barfing all over herself on camera is pretty memorable.
00:24:21But the point is, you're good.
00:24:23And Camila is a character.
00:24:25I would have to go public.
00:24:28My boss would never agree.
00:24:30Does the sexy hermit have to know?
00:24:32I don't know about the sexy part.
00:24:34Oh, please.
00:24:35Fine.
00:24:35He's a little hot.
00:24:37But he's super paranoid about his privacy.
00:24:39I signed an NDA.
00:24:41Okay.
00:24:41Besides, social media and I are kaput.
00:24:44What?
00:24:44Why?
00:24:45I thought I had a future in it.
00:24:47I even dreamt about setting up my own agency, but I am reprioritizing.
00:24:51Right now, I am focused on my sister and my mom.
00:24:55So, just like that, you're giving up on your dreams?
00:24:58Dreams don't make money.
00:25:01Ah, but contests do.
00:25:04Oh, hey.
00:25:18We were just in the neighborhood.
00:25:20Is that so?
00:25:21Yeah.
00:25:21Uh, care to join us on the walk home?
00:25:25Vente, Camila.
00:25:27So, um, I have an idea, and I was hoping that you would really, really take it into...
00:25:31Uh, you know you're in the middle of the sidewalk.
00:25:34Excuse you.
00:25:36Swear, it turns them into morons.
00:25:38No offense.
00:25:39No, none taken.
00:25:40I know social media has its drawbacks, but it's not all bad.
00:25:44I'd say it turns everyone into paparazzi or jerks or both.
00:25:48Mm.
00:25:49You know, I can tell that Edna really loved Camila.
00:25:53She did.
00:25:54Graham even had a portrait painted of her and Camila.
00:25:57Haven't been able to bring myself to go through her things yet.
00:25:59Well, I was going through Camila's itinerary, and I saw that there's a photo shoot for some journal.
00:26:05I was thinking that could be a really nice way to honor your grandmother if you and Camila were to post together for this...
00:26:12Oh, I don't do press.
00:26:13With or without dogs.
00:26:14You don't do socials.
00:26:15You don't do press.
00:26:17But you own a publishing company.
00:26:18How is that even possible?
00:26:20I have a team that takes care of that.
00:26:22Oh.
00:26:22Speaking of which, I looked through Papyrus Park socials, and your team needs to amp up their game.
00:26:26Oh, like you did?
00:26:30Touché.
00:26:33Hey, tell me why you like books.
00:26:38I was an only child.
00:26:40Books are like oxygen to me.
00:26:43Graham always said that life is like a book of blank pages.
00:26:47It's up to us to decide the story we want to tell in those pages.
00:26:50I love that.
00:26:52Choosing your own path.
00:26:54Kind of reminds me of someone I recently ran into.
00:26:56Greta Q.
00:26:57Do you know her?
00:26:58Vaguely.
00:26:59So, Greta Q has this pretty ordinary life, but she's unhappy.
00:27:08At 60, she decides to make a change.
00:27:11She dedicates her time to botany, learns how to play the accordion, and falls in love with a woman.
00:27:19She starts posting on social media, and people instantly connect with her story of reinvention, risking it all for happiness.
00:27:28Today, she has over three million followers.
00:27:31Wait, you should go after her.
00:27:33An influencer?
00:27:34She can open up a whole new demographic for Papyrus Park.
00:27:38Think about all those blank pages your grandmother spoke about.
00:27:42The potential.
00:27:44I'm steering Papyrus Park in a new direction.
00:27:46New direction?
00:27:47A more lucrative path.
00:27:49We're not going to be taking on new writers.
00:27:51That sounds like a terrible plan.
00:27:53It's called survival.
00:27:54Yeah.
00:27:55Well, maybe.
00:27:57But you should think outside the rhombus.
00:27:59The box.
00:28:00Think outside the box.
00:28:02Precisely my point.
00:28:03Greta Q can help Papyrus Park take on a whole new shape.
00:28:08Well, thanks for the geometry advice.
00:28:12Oh, um, something came up.
00:28:14Is it okay if I leave you and Camila here?
00:28:16Of course.
00:28:17Okay, see you tomorrow.
00:28:19Adios, Camila.
00:28:19Adios, Camila.
00:28:33Hey, I thought you had dance.
00:28:36You got a delivery.
00:28:38I opened it.
00:28:39Why would you?
00:28:41From the lawyer.
00:28:41They need the fees now.
00:28:49I thought they didn't bill until after the hearing was set.
00:28:52Where are we going to find 10K, Isa?
00:28:54I'm getting paid soon.
00:28:56Everything is going to be okay, Danny.
00:28:57I promise.
00:28:58Don't even say it.
00:29:10What do you mean Tetro changed his mind?
00:29:13No, Frank wouldn't do...
00:29:15Wanda, I got to call you back.
00:29:16What the...
00:29:18What are you saying?
00:29:24I cannot understand you.
00:29:27What do you want from me?
00:29:29I don't have time for this, Camila.
00:29:31Good morning to you, too.
00:29:32Look, I have important things going on today.
00:29:37Please control the gremlin.
00:29:38Her name is Camila,
00:29:40and you're not the only one with important stuff going on.
00:29:43A ver, it's okay.
00:29:52Your dad is such a cascarrabias.
00:29:55I don't know what that is, but I'm not her dad.
00:29:58Nathan, set up a call with Morrison.
00:30:00Set your head this afternoon.
00:30:01Crouch.
00:30:02Set your couch.
00:30:13Hey, what's wrong?
00:30:15I have to come up with 10K.
00:30:17Legal fees for my mom.
00:30:19Long story.
00:30:20The thing is,
00:30:22Theo is paying me a lot more than I expected.
00:30:25But there's no way I can pay for rent, food, Danny's classes,
00:30:28and on top of that, another 10K?
00:30:30I am burnt toast.
00:30:32Well, what about the contest?
00:30:34I don't know.
00:30:35Look, I know you don't want to go behind the sexy hermit's back,
00:30:39but it's for your mom.
00:30:41I know.
00:30:42I just...
00:30:43If I decide to do the contest, and that's a big if, I have to find a way to keep Camila's
00:30:51identity a secret.
00:30:52Oh, misterioso.
00:30:53Oh, misterioso.
00:30:54I love it.
00:30:56Oh, come on.
00:30:58There are a thousand long-haired Doxies all over New York.
00:31:01I'm sure you'll figure something out.
00:31:03I have to come up with a catchy handle.
00:31:13The Dachshund wears luxury.
00:31:16Love it.
00:31:17The Dachshund wears couture.
00:31:21The Dachshund wears designer.
00:31:23Yes.
00:31:24Papa Chino, Camila.
00:31:38Camila!
00:31:39Are you okay?
00:31:55It might be sprained.
00:31:56If you can't control my dog, why did I hire you?
00:32:01Because nobody wanted to work with Camila.
00:32:03Or with you.
00:32:05I'll get some ice.
00:32:07Come on.
00:32:18Oh.
00:32:19Here's your engagement.
00:32:21You're good.
00:32:26I need help to the couch.
00:32:41It was an accident, Theo.
00:32:44I know.
00:32:44I'm sorry.
00:32:46I'm just feeling a little...
00:32:47Like you're in the middle of a tornado?
00:32:49That's one way to put it.
00:32:53I can't imagine how hard it is on you.
00:32:55Not only did you lose someone you love, but...
00:32:58Everyone is expecting you to be as amazing as she was.
00:33:02Thanks for rubbing it in.
00:33:04But yeah, Edna was like this magnetic force everyone loved.
00:33:09Mucha chispa.
00:33:10Mucha chispa.
00:33:13I'll never be able to fill in her shoes.
00:33:15Why would you want to fill her shoes?
00:33:17They wouldn't even fit.
00:33:18It's a figure of speech.
00:33:19I know it's a figure of speech.
00:33:21But find your own shoes.
00:33:23It's not that easy.
00:33:25I didn't say it was.
00:33:27But it must be comforting to know that you're working on keeping her memory alive.
00:33:31I'm not.
00:33:32That's just it.
00:33:33I'm working to turn Papyrus Park into a factory for big pharma and IT manuals.
00:33:38You're going to fill the blank pages of your book with manuals?
00:33:41It's a sound business decision.
00:33:42Can't you do both?
00:33:43Big pharma and amazing authors?
00:33:46That's not how it works.
00:33:47Brand identity is what makes a publishing house successful.
00:33:50I know about brand identity.
00:33:52I also know it's not the only thing that matters.
00:33:54You're turning your back on a business you love.
00:33:57That your family built from scratch and on everything that means.
00:34:00You seem to have a lot of insight considering we met, what, a week ago?
00:34:05Why don't you just focus on controlling my grandmother's dog, which is what I hired you to do?
00:34:09I am.
00:34:12Look, all I asked was for you to take care of Camilla so I could focus on getting Papyrus Park out of the quagmire we're in.
00:34:19And instead, I seem to be sinking in even more.
00:34:22Now I'm responsible for the crisis in the publishing industry?
00:34:25The fact that you're feeling insecure about your decisions doesn't give you the right to lash out at me.
00:34:30If you'll excuse me, I have a meeting to prepare for.
00:34:32Of course.
00:34:33Don't you dare.
00:34:51Going down.
00:34:52¿Cómo estás, nena?
00:34:57Hola, ma.
00:34:58SÃ, todo bien.
00:34:59How did you go with the loader?
00:35:02Ah, ma?
00:35:04Ma?
00:35:05Nelly.
00:35:06Going up.
00:35:26Bent house.
00:35:29I'm sorry what I said about your book.
00:35:31I have no right to tell you how to fill it.
00:35:32I don't think you're a failure.
00:35:33In fact, I've never met anyone like you, and I'm really happy you're my dog chaperone.
00:35:43This is awkward timing, but did you take Camilla tonight?
00:35:47I can't deal with her right now.
00:35:49If you tried, you could win her over.
00:35:53I'd be happy to.
00:35:56I'm sorry I made you fall.
00:35:57It wasn't your fault.
00:35:59That was you.
00:36:01Don't give me that look.
00:36:02I'm not falling for it.
00:36:04I think she's apologizing.
00:36:07Forgiven.
00:36:08Perdonada.
00:36:11You didn't know she was Mexican, did you?
00:36:13What?
00:36:14And brought her from Mazatlan.
00:36:15I found her adoption certificate.
00:36:18That explains it.
00:36:21Oh!
00:36:22Be careful!
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:25Um, okay.
00:36:26Um, okay.
00:36:29Okay.
00:36:32Um, I have an idea.
00:36:42Graham's cane.
00:36:44Yeah.
00:36:45It's actually my great-grandfather's.
00:36:47Graham said she liked to think that he was helping to support her in her old age.
00:36:50Well, now she can support you.
00:36:53Hmm.
00:36:56Okay.
00:36:58Yeah.
00:36:59Oh!
00:36:59Well, hey.
00:37:01Thank you all.
00:37:07I'll be in touch tomorrow.
00:37:12Wait, Patty.
00:37:13You sound so glum.
00:37:15Mom, we did it.
00:37:17Money talks.
00:37:19Yeah.
00:37:19Money talks.
00:37:21Do you want me to come over?
00:37:22We can order Italian.
00:37:24I'm exhausted.
00:37:26Talk to you tomorrow.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:31Okay.
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:36Bye.
00:37:42Bye.
00:37:48Bye.
00:37:52Bye.
00:37:57Bye.
00:37:57Oh, love doesn't know never.
00:38:25This job is super important to me.
00:38:27Besides, all he cares about is money.
00:38:29We like money, too.
00:38:30Making tamales de cochinita.
00:38:32You're gonna go direct to a su corazón.
00:38:35Si! Oh, can we please do that, Isa?
00:38:37No, Dani, I'm not making him tamales.
00:38:40Oh, come on!
00:38:41No!
00:38:42Come on, Isa, you know we love making them together.
00:38:46Fine.
00:38:48But I get to choose the music.
00:38:49Yay!
00:38:50He does eat pork, right?
00:38:55Going up.
00:39:02Hold the door.
00:39:09Going up.
00:39:15Tamila, don't be rude.
00:39:20And house.
00:39:25It's a man, girl.
00:39:27Isa, I've been thinking about what you...
00:39:29Teddy!
00:39:30Hi!
00:39:31I, um, I got you your favorite green machine.
00:39:34Please don't call me Teddy.
00:39:36Listen, we need to boost your immune system and get you in tip-top shape.
00:39:40You have to stop doing this.
00:39:42Isa, this is Wanda.
00:39:44She's on the board of directors.
00:39:46Wanda, this is Isa, my dog chaperone.
00:39:49And nice to meet you.
00:39:50Pleasure.
00:39:51Oh, I just, uh...
00:39:53I just came by to...
00:39:56This.
00:39:57Yeah.
00:39:58Can never be too prepared.
00:40:01Oh, sorry.
00:40:03One second.
00:40:05Oh, I have to go.
00:40:07Mr. Contreras?
00:40:08Hi.
00:40:09Yes.
00:40:10Yes.
00:40:11Uh-huh.
00:40:12Jared?
00:40:13The boxer's owner?
00:40:14Mm.
00:40:15So hot.
00:40:16Is there a single dog owner in New York you haven't slept with?
00:40:19Uh...
00:40:20The sexy hermit.
00:40:21Whoa, but as far as I'm concerned, he's off limits.
00:40:24No, please.
00:40:25Be my guest.
00:40:26Whoa.
00:40:27What happened there?
00:40:28Nothing.
00:40:31I made him tamales de cochinita, which I didn't give him.
00:40:33Is that another one of your euphemisms?
00:40:35I thought we had a spark.
00:40:37Maybe I was imagining it.
00:40:38But it's better this way, because I have a bigger shark to fry.
00:40:41Oh, that's gotta be a euphemism.
00:40:43I got a call from my mom's lawyer.
00:40:45There's a date for her hearing.
00:40:46That's good.
00:40:47Right?
00:40:48Only if I have the money to pay.
00:40:50Well, kill that contest.
00:40:53Right, Camila?
00:40:55Yes.
00:40:56Indeed.
00:40:57I know.
00:40:58I know.
00:41:01A princess can also be fierce.
00:41:08Avoiding los paparazzi.
00:41:12My fan, cochinita cookies.
00:41:16Life is a telenovela.
00:41:18Then...
00:41:19That's a ten JOEY.
00:41:20Today's the time.
00:41:21Alright.
00:41:23You guys.
00:41:24Let's go.
00:41:26Let's hang on.
00:41:33Oh.
00:41:34Mmm.
00:41:35I've said nothing.
00:41:36Do nothing.
00:41:36Mm.
00:41:37You know?
00:41:41Doggy, sit.
00:41:52Okay, sit.
00:41:55Sentarse.
00:41:57Sentarse.
00:41:58Sentarse?
00:42:00No?
00:42:02Uh, uh, doggy, sit.
00:42:06Okay, let's try paw.
00:42:11Pata.
00:42:12Pata.
00:42:14No pata?
00:42:15Why don't you like me, Camila?
00:42:19She prefers manita.
00:42:22Manita.
00:42:24Manita.
00:42:26No, no, no, it's, uh, manita.
00:42:28Manita.
00:42:30Uh-huh.
00:42:30Wow.
00:42:33How did you not know Camila understands Spanish?
00:42:37Weren't you close to your grandmother?
00:42:38Camila and I avoided each other at all costs.
00:42:42But we're friends now, aren't we?
00:42:45Baby steps.
00:42:46So, I did it.
00:42:48I convinced the board.
00:42:50We're going the factory route.
00:42:52Congratulations?
00:42:53The thing is, as soon as they said yes, I wasn't sure that's what I wanted.
00:42:56I thought about Graham, how she always supported me, no matter what, even if she didn't agree
00:43:04with me.
00:43:05That's what family does.
00:43:06I don't know what I want anymore.
00:43:08Well, the vote hasn't taken place yet, right?
00:43:11You can change your mind.
00:43:12I don't see any other way.
00:43:14Get creative.
00:43:15Reinvention.
00:43:17I know you don't do socials, but look up Greta Q.
00:43:20You might get inspired.
00:43:21I'm not that guy.
00:43:24You might surprise yourself.
00:43:26How is it you're so sure of yourself?
00:43:28It's like, you got everything figured out.
00:43:31Need I remind you the phenomenal screw-up that led me to dog-sit for you?
00:43:34Okay.
00:43:35So you've had a few setbacks.
00:43:38And maybe you don't have everything figured out, but the important stuff.
00:43:42I can't believe that's how you see me.
00:43:46You stand your ground.
00:43:49You know what you want.
00:43:51What you need to be happy.
00:43:58You might need to get that.
00:44:00Oh.
00:44:04Bad news?
00:44:06No.
00:44:08All good.
00:44:13Remember the account of the two bulldogs, bacon and eggs?
00:44:16They're up 6K.
00:44:18I need to amp up my game if I want to win.
00:44:21Your next post's got to be killer.
00:44:23Yeah.
00:44:23I just need to be super careful.
00:44:25People are starting to hunt for clues in the pics.
00:44:28Let's bring someone at the spa.
00:44:29Okay.
00:44:30Bye.
00:44:31When what?
00:44:33A contest.
00:44:42Camila's one telenovela.
00:44:44But wait, isn't this sort of breaking Theo's rules?
00:44:47There's a 12K prize.
00:44:49So we could pay for the immigration lawyer.
00:44:52Mm-hmm.
00:44:53Besides, I'm not really breaking the rules.
00:44:56I just need to keep Camila's identity a secret until I win.
00:44:59Then I'll close the account and he'll never find out.
00:45:01Well, I mean, Cinco de Mayo's coming up pretty soon and Camila would look so cute in the sombrero.
00:45:06It would be the perfect disguise.
00:45:08That's a brilliant idea, squincla.
00:45:10No wonder you're my sister.
00:45:11Celebrando my roots.
00:45:23Think outside, Garampus.
00:45:31Hypatia was a Neoplatonist philosopher who lived in Alexandria, renowned in her lifetime as a wise counselor.
00:45:52Hypatia said the greatest danger men and women face is a fear of failure.
00:45:59Hypatia said the greatest danger men and women face is a fear of failure.
00:46:29Mutual admiration of a sage thinker, Theo Garrison.
00:46:35Invitation?
00:46:37Hmm.
00:46:41We just passed 8,000 followers.
00:46:44Ooh, take that, bacon and eggs.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:48So, how much longer are you going to hide this from the sexy hermit?
00:46:51Well, remember how Camila had trust issues?
00:46:54Theo is 10 times worse.
00:46:56Am I a terrible person?
00:46:57No, you're doing this to bring your mom home.
00:47:01I think that pretty much neutralizes any terribleness.
00:47:06I don't know how much your hot boss is paying you, but I know plenty of dog owners who would pay mega bucks for an account like that.
00:47:14I don't know if I'm ready to go down that road.
00:47:16Why not?
00:47:18You said you'd been thinking about it, and you're amazing at this.
00:47:21That was before a certain incident made me the laughing stock.
00:47:25I think it made that spoiled brat a laughing stock.
00:47:28But it was my fault.
00:47:30You didn't make her guzzle down 17 martinis and then act like a total bitch.
00:47:33No, she did that all on her own.
00:47:36You enjoy doing this, don't you?
00:47:39I love it.
00:47:40And you can make a living off of it?
00:47:42I'd kill for that kind of opportunity.
00:47:44I can't screw things up again.
00:47:45Camila and I are so close to winning the contest.
00:47:48Soon my mom will be with us.
00:47:50I just need to stay focused and win.
00:47:52I don't know if I'm going to be with you, I don't know if I'm going to be with you, I don't know if I'm going to be with you.
00:48:22But who knew tortillas burnt so fast?
00:48:26Yeah, they do.
00:48:28Want to order it?
00:48:30How about Indian?
00:48:31Mmm.
00:48:35Awful.
00:48:36Everyone froze, and suddenly I realized I was broadcasting this colossal failure to over one million people.
00:48:45Okay, that takes the cake.
00:48:48I think my mother making me wear a leader hose into the first day of kindergarten definitely takes the backseat.
00:48:54I told you, I take humiliation to a whole new dimension.
00:48:58I have something for you.
00:49:00It's nothing, really.
00:49:02It's not nothing.
00:49:11Me encanta.
00:49:13I love it.
00:49:21Graham would be happy knowing you're taking care of Camila, and that makes me happy.
00:49:26So, thank you.
00:49:31It's my sister.
00:49:33She seems great.
00:49:34Yeah.
00:49:35So, um, tell me.
00:49:38I'm curious.
00:49:40Why the hermit of Fifth Avenue?
00:49:43When my parents died, the press went wild.
00:49:48Graham tried to protect me, but they wouldn't stop.
00:49:51So, I learned to put up a shield, so I protect myself.
00:49:59Camila, no es para ti.
00:50:03What did you do to her?
00:50:05We just had to find her chispa.
00:50:07Right, Camilita?
00:50:08It was buried under layers of grief.
00:50:11And where does that come from?
00:50:13Chispa?
00:50:14Abu.
00:50:15My grandmother.
00:50:15She had a rough raising six kids all alone, but she still managed to find the joy in life.
00:50:23My mother is the same, too.
00:50:27Well, I don't think that Camila's chispa applies to me.
00:50:31Give her time.
00:50:33You know, I was reading that dachshunds bond with one person and have a really good sense of smell.
00:50:38Why don't you wear something of Edna's?
00:50:40Camila's love can transmute onto you.
00:50:44Oh.
00:50:45What am I supposed to do with that?
00:50:54Mm-hmm.
00:50:55Get creative.
00:50:58I can do that.
00:51:00Yeah?
00:51:01Give me a minute.
00:51:12Oh.
00:51:12See, it's working.
00:51:33Dance with her.
00:51:34She shall not be denied.
00:51:36Aw, she loves it.
00:51:41Aw.
00:51:45Aw.
00:51:47I'd have to say, that was pretty creative.
00:51:53I'm a new man.
00:51:54Reinvented.
00:51:56It suits you.
00:51:57You suit me.
00:52:00It must be your chispa.
00:52:04It's known to be contagious.
00:52:09Hm.
00:52:15Patty?
00:52:15Oh, now that is elegant.
00:52:26Wanda, I'm going to need my key back.
00:52:30Breaking news.
00:52:31The ZQE execs will be attending the cocktail reception.
00:52:34You're welcome.
00:52:37Which means that if we can lend them, then Big Pharma's next.
00:52:40So we should start working on your speech right away.
00:52:43My sister's waiting for me.
00:52:44Issa, hold on.
00:52:52I'll give us glasses.
00:52:58They feel, they feel, they feel.
00:53:06It's Theo.
00:53:08It's Theo.
00:53:09Danny?
00:53:10Distract him.
00:53:11Come on.
00:53:11Come on.
00:53:14Hey, Theo.
00:53:15My sister made me answer.
00:53:17You sure you're avoiding me?
00:53:19Hi.
00:53:20Um, I was just tidying up.
00:53:21You know, teenagers.
00:53:26Yeah, right this way.
00:53:28Hm.
00:53:29Meant to give this to you.
00:53:30Oh.
00:53:35Hm.
00:53:36Am I dog sitting?
00:53:38Camilla is not on the guest list.
00:53:40I meant you.
00:53:41Can we talk?
00:53:44Fine.
00:53:44I know when I'm not wanted.
00:53:46Bye, Theo.
00:53:48Bye, Danny.
00:53:52So, about Wanda.
00:53:54We dated a while back, and I guess she wants to get back together.
00:53:58But I'm not interested.
00:53:59Listen, you and me.
00:54:02It's not a good idea.
00:54:03You're my boss, and I really need this job.
00:54:06Am I your boss, or is Camilla your boss?
00:54:10Mm-hmm.
00:54:11Are you rejecting me, Miss Morgato?
00:54:14I guess I sort of am.
00:54:15And there's nothing I can do to change your mind?
00:54:17I really want to keep things professional.
00:54:19Okay.
00:54:21If that's your decision, I'll respect that.
00:54:24Okay.
00:54:25Am I allowed to ask for a favor, or is that off-limits, too?
00:54:28No, not off-limits.
00:54:30Okay.
00:54:30I could really use your help with this cocktail reception.
00:54:33Not a date.
00:54:34Not a date.
00:54:38Not a date.
00:54:39Not a date.
00:54:39Okay.
00:54:42How can I help?
00:54:48Hmm.
00:54:49This must be when she adopted you.
00:54:54Oh, it's lovely.
00:54:56Camilla.
00:54:57Yeah, this one goes in the pile over here.
00:55:02See, I choose a really emblematic photo for the end.
00:55:06One that captures Edna's chispa.
00:55:13Like this one.
00:55:15So regal.
00:55:17Now I know where you get it from, Camilla.
00:55:19We haven't seen my mom in two years.
00:55:27It must be so hard.
00:55:29It's tough on Dani.
00:55:30She's a teenager without her mother.
00:55:33I'm sorry.
00:55:34I'm sure you know how it feels.
00:55:39It's different.
00:55:42By the time I was a teenager, I was used to not having my parents around.
00:55:47I can't imagine how difficult it must have been.
00:55:49You know, I've never actually spoken to anybody about them.
00:55:56I guess I didn't trust anyone enough to feel I could.
00:56:01Except for Edna.
00:56:05I didn't tell Graham enough how much she meant to me.
00:56:10I'm sure she knew.
00:56:13I think that's why she loved you, Camilla.
00:56:15I'm really happy you're coming to the reception.
00:56:22Even if it's not a date.
00:56:23I am, too.
00:56:31Exactly.
00:56:32Thanks, Nathan.
00:56:35Good luck tonight.
00:56:39Sorry.
00:56:39A message from my dog, Chaperone.
00:56:42Oh, the one you put on the guest list at the last minute.
00:56:46Can't wait to meet her.
00:56:49Frank.
00:56:51I've been thinking.
00:56:53A lot.
00:56:55I've been so afraid of taking any risks that I was losing sight of what Papyrus Park is actually about.
00:57:02But I'm figuring it out.
00:57:04Thinking differently about our way forward.
00:57:05Okay, well, why do I get the feeling that we're in for a few surprises at this cocktail reception, huh?
00:57:24Wanda, if we're going to continue working together, I need to know that you won't post photos of me.
00:57:28Let's go.
00:57:38Let's go.
00:57:38Let's go.
00:57:52Credit Q.
00:57:53It's an honor.
00:57:54I have to admit, I was not expecting an invitation to Papyrus Park's cocktail reception.
00:58:00A month ago, I had a very specific idea of what this company needed.
00:58:04But recently, I've had my eyes open to new possibilities.
00:58:08Reimagining things, taking some risks.
00:58:11You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?
00:58:14I might have some thoughts on that.
00:58:16Maybe 20 chapters worth.
00:58:19But I thought you weren't open to new writers.
00:58:22And yet, here you are.
00:58:23Good evening.
00:58:25Please welcome Papyrus Park recently appointed CEO, Theo Garrison.
00:58:30To be continued.
00:58:31I hope.
00:58:37The execs from CQE Tech are here.
00:58:41How's your moment, Theo?
00:58:42Thank you for joining us to honor my late grandmother, Edna Garrison.
00:58:56Since Papyrus Park was founded in 1949, we've published over 12,000 authors, with a myriad of publishing awards, including...
00:59:04Chispa.
00:59:22Sparkle.
00:59:23Someone once told me, there are people who find it in everything they do.
00:59:33Edna was one of those people.
00:59:35And she found that Chispa in others.
00:59:37Especially the thought-provoking voices she sought out and championed.
00:59:46Today, we're facing enormous challenges.
00:59:50And Papyrus Park needs to change.
00:59:51But that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice our heart and soul.
00:59:56I know you all have questions about what that change will look like.
01:00:03But everyone here should know...
01:00:04That when they support Papyrus Park, they will continue to support generations of writers with true Chispa.
01:00:14Please join me in toasting the extraordinary woman who brought us all together tonight.
01:00:22To Edna.
01:00:27You look beautiful.
01:00:30Does this mean you're not going the factory route?
01:00:35To be honest, I'm terrified of what I've just said to this room full of people.
01:00:40But I really do feel there are other options.
01:00:45Just don't know exactly what they are yet.
01:00:48You'll figure it out.
01:00:50I have you to thank.
01:00:51For not making the biggest mistake of my life.
01:00:55Issa, I...
01:00:57Excuse...
01:00:57I'm sorry.
01:00:58Am I interrupting?
01:01:00Frank, may I introduce Issa Murgato?
01:01:05Issa, this is Frank Turner.
01:01:06He's one of Graham's closest friends and a member of the board.
01:01:08Nice to meet you.
01:01:10Sorry, that's the Mexican in me.
01:01:12No need to apologize.
01:01:17Well, I feel no surprise.
01:01:18Your speech ruffled some feathers.
01:01:21But look, I...
01:01:23For one, I'm overwhelmed, as Edna would be.
01:01:26You know, I think most of the board will back you.
01:01:28But they're nervous.
01:01:30So I suggest you share a whiskey, you know.
01:01:33Smooth out those feathers.
01:01:36I'll be right back.
01:01:38Nice meeting you.
01:01:39Likewise.
01:01:39You know, I couldn't quite figure it out.
01:01:48But then I remembered.
01:01:50You're the sexy girl.
01:01:52An unfortunate event, to be sure.
01:01:54But you seem to be doing well in your new career path.
01:01:57In fact, I actually have a few friends that have dogs, so...
01:02:03What kind of services do you offer?
01:02:05It's a one-time thing.
01:02:07Well, clearly you're very good at it.
01:02:09I do my best.
01:02:12Theo needs to step up.
01:02:15And for some inexplicable reason,
01:02:17you seem to have an effect on him that's keeping him from doing just that.
01:02:20I think he knows what he's doing.
01:02:23I don't think you realize what's at stake for Theo or for Papyrus Park.
01:02:27This is his opportunity to bring the company to the future.
01:02:31In fact, it's...
01:02:32Wanda!
01:02:33I see you remember Issa.
01:02:34Yes.
01:02:35I was actually just, um...
01:02:38congratulating her on what a wonderful job she's doing with the dog.
01:02:43Okay.
01:02:44Excuse us.
01:02:45Actually, Theo, I need to talk to you for a second.
01:02:47Actually, this conversation is over, Wanda.
01:02:49I'll see you at the board meeting.
01:02:58Issa.
01:03:00I know you said you want to keep things professional between us.
01:03:05But I don't.
01:03:10This is going to be very cheesy.
01:03:11But I feel like...
01:03:13ever since you came into my life,
01:03:15I'm discovering the story I want to tell in my book.
01:03:20And you're in every page.
01:03:22So now you're going for a romance novel?
01:03:25Who knew I had it in me?
01:03:26So let's get writing.
01:03:32So let's get writing.
01:03:32I'm sorry.
01:03:39I'm sorry.
01:03:42I'm sorry.
01:03:44What mêmes you were going to do?
01:03:47I was going there.
01:03:50I am sorry.
01:03:51I'm sorry.
01:03:51I don't love you.
01:03:53I'm sorry.
01:03:53You see?
01:03:54I don't want to know.
01:03:55What?
01:03:55What?
01:03:55I miss him.
01:04:25So you're gonna let me steal you away this weekend?
01:04:34We get provisions, turn off our phones, and stay in bed for two whole days.
01:04:39I like that.
01:04:41But aren't you forgetting a certain needy individual?
01:04:44I found us a beautiful place that accepts pets.
01:04:49You thought this through.
01:04:50I have.
01:04:51And I don't want to let you go.
01:04:58Theo, I need to tell you something.
01:05:07I'm sorry.
01:05:11Oh, I should get this.
01:05:14Feathers are still ruffled.
01:05:16Hey, Frank.
01:05:17Yeah, the board's apprehensive.
01:05:18Yeah, I would feel the same way if I were in their shoes.
01:05:21But they're open to backing you.
01:05:23Okay, good.
01:05:24I'll see you in my office.
01:05:25Yeah, say hi to Isa for me.
01:05:27I will.
01:05:28Frank says hello.
01:05:29He says the board will back me.
01:05:39Well, except for Wanda.
01:05:41But, uh, they want to be sure that I haven't completely lost my mind, that I have an actual
01:05:46plan.
01:05:47And do you?
01:05:48Right now, I do.
01:05:49No!
01:05:50It's okay.
01:05:51It's okay.
01:05:52Take care.

01:06:35See you this evening?
01:06:37Only if you want your dog back.
01:06:40Yeah, I do.
01:06:43How was the sleepover?
01:06:45It was nice.
01:06:47Hey, Esquink, I need your help with something.
01:06:50Get me at the fountain?
01:06:52He was gonna be mad, isn't he?
01:06:54It's the only choice to stay in the competition.
01:06:56Besides, the pulse will only be up for a bit, right?
01:06:59I'll remove it as soon as the winners are announced.
01:07:02But you might lose your job.
01:07:04And the guy you really like.
01:07:07We do what we have to do to bring Mama home.
01:07:10Okay?
01:07:11Here.

01:07:34Here I am trying to grow my online account.
01:07:36And I stumble upon an account for an adorable little pooch.
01:07:41You might want to check your email study.

01:07:44Yes, hello.
01:07:45Reservation for two.
01:07:46And one dog.
01:07:47Under Garrison.
01:07:49It's funny how algorithms work.
01:07:50Here I am trying to grow my online account.
01:07:54And I stumble upon an account for an adorable little pooch.
01:07:59You might want to check your email study.
01:08:03I think I found my prÃncipe
01:08:16Exo, exo
01:08:18Buenos dÃas
01:08:20From the Aztec princess
01:08:32Ven, ven
01:08:33Exo
01:08:35Nobody will ever know you're his dog, right?
01:08:44I'm sure he'll understand
01:08:45Hey, you should take it easy on your foot
01:08:58Since when do you care?
01:08:59I think I found my prÃncipe
01:09:07XOXO
01:09:08I guess that makes me the dumbass prÃncipe who actually fell for your fairy tale
01:09:15I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the account
01:09:18I tried to, but I would never do-
01:09:21You never do what exactly, Isa?
01:09:24Exploit my dog for your benefit?
01:09:26Sleep with me and then post it?
01:09:28Theo, it isn't you. It isn't even Camila. It's a made-up persona
01:09:31Don't be naive
01:09:32They'll take people two seconds to follow the trail and get to me
01:09:35My books, my dog, my life
01:09:38On display for everyone to devour
01:09:41Again?
01:09:43I know you're afraid of getting hurt again
01:09:46But please don't let that ruin what we have
01:09:49I didn't ruin it

01:10:04For my family
01:10:06You used me for your benefit. Don't try to justify it
01:10:10You know, if you would allow yourself to get close to people
01:10:14You may realize they make your life a little better
01:10:20You're fired
01:10:21You know, if you end up a real hermit
01:10:28You have no one to blame but yourself
01:10:39Dani, refreshing the page over and over again won't make the results come in any faster
01:10:45You're gonna win

01:15:20Oh.
01:15:20I don't know how we're going to get on without her.
01:15:49But Issa was right.
01:15:51Graham left you to me for a reason.
01:15:54You're my family.
01:16:12Issa was telling the truth.
01:16:16Let's see them.
01:16:18They're ready for you.
01:16:19Oh, wow.
01:16:35I love them.
01:16:36Boss in the city.
01:16:37Definitely postable.
01:16:38So let's embrace the moment we're living in and think outside the rhombus.
01:16:46All those in favor of keeping Papyrus Park author-driven, say,
01:16:52Aye.
01:16:53Aye.
01:16:59It's unanimous.
01:17:00We're going to make this work.
01:17:01We're going to make this work together.
01:17:05Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to undo a really big mistake.
01:17:10Good morning.
01:17:17Good morning.
01:17:17Paws in the city.
01:17:20Sure, Heather.
01:17:21We'd love to create an account for your pig, Molly.
01:17:24Yes.
01:17:25Uh, Wednesday.
01:17:26Yes.
01:17:26Wednesday's available.
01:17:27A live stream?
01:17:28Paws in the city.
01:17:29Uh-huh.
01:17:29Oh, yes.
01:17:31Yes, Monday is available.
01:17:34For fans of dachshund wear designer, you'll be happy to know the mastermind behind the account
01:17:39just opened the agency Paws in the city.
01:17:42What's he doing?
01:17:44Yes.
01:17:45Theo is live.
01:17:47Please hold.
01:17:48Oh.
01:17:49Okay.
01:17:50We're getting some comments now.
01:17:52Hello.
01:17:52NY dog mama.
01:17:54That's right.
01:17:55She's a long-haired dachshund.
01:17:57Look at that face.
01:18:00Oh, Pug Life 22.
01:18:02Pretty adorable.
01:18:04I think so, too.
01:18:06Oh!
01:18:08Oh!
01:18:09Oh!
01:18:13So, to make a long story short, Issa Mergado didn't disclose this out of respect for my privacy.
01:18:20And between you and me, I was a jerk.
01:18:24But I want to make it up to her.
01:18:27Because Issa is the most amazing woman I've ever met.
01:18:31With so much chispa, it's almost blinding.
01:18:36Oh!
01:18:38Hi, Camila.
01:18:39Hi, Camila.
01:18:42I thought you didn't pose at dogs.
01:18:46Oh.
01:18:47Is Camila a dog?
01:18:48I didn't get the memo.
01:18:51Theo, I am so sorry I hurt you.
01:18:55I know.
01:18:56You did what you did for your family.
01:18:58You tried to tell me, but I didn't listen.
01:19:03I broke your trust.
01:19:06You didn't break anything, Issa.
01:19:08You put the broken pieces back together.
01:19:21Yes!
01:19:24Catch your name, by the way.
01:19:25I learned from the best.
01:19:27I'm so sorry I found you.
01:19:28T'll be fine.
01:19:28I'm so sorry.
01:19:32I'm so sorry.
01:19:33I'm so sorry.
01:19:35I broke your trust.
01:19:36I want to start with a hand.
01:19:41What are you doing?
01:19:41I don't do that.
01:19:43I don't do that.
01:19:44I don't do that.
01:19:45I don't do that.
01:19:46I don't do that.
01:19:46Because we're in my position yet.
01:19:46I don't do that.
01:19:47You don't do that.
01:19:47You're in your way.
01:19:49I will.
01:19:49I don't ABOUT
