00:00:00I must have you.
00:00:07Calvin Princess.
00:00:12And I you werewolf king.
00:00:15Shihara heard tales that the werewolf king was the greatest lover in all the realm.
00:00:21Now she would know the truth.
00:00:24She straddled him.
00:00:27No.
00:00:30He takes charge.
00:00:32It's hotter.
00:00:37Um.
00:00:39Uh.
00:00:42The werewolf king.
00:00:46The werewolf king.
00:00:49Think.
00:00:50Lisa, it's the climax of the book.
00:00:52It has to be steamy AF.
00:00:57How does MK get inspiration?
00:01:04The werewolf king swept his princess into the bed.
00:01:12He tore her dress and kissed down her body.
00:01:17His burning lips trailing lower.
00:01:24And lower.
00:01:25And lower.
00:01:26And.
00:01:27And.
00:01:28Ms. Von Klimt.
00:01:29Hi.
00:01:30So.
00:01:31How's my favorite romance author?
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33Fine.
00:01:34Everything's okay.
00:01:35My books are still selling.
00:01:36Right?
00:01:37Oh.
00:01:38Oh.
00:01:39Oh.
00:01:40Oh.

00:01:44Oh.
00:01:45Oh.
00:01:46Oh.
00:01:47Oh.
00:01:48Oh.
00:01:49Oh.
00:01:50Oh.
00:01:51Oh.
00:01:52Oh.
00:01:53Oh.
00:01:54Oh.
00:01:55Okay, my books are still selling, right?
00:01:57Hotter than La Boo Boo's.
00:01:59Listen, I have a special assignment for you.
00:02:01You've heard of M.K. Roth, right?
00:02:03I love him.
00:02:04I mean, his writing.
00:02:07Fabulous.
00:02:08We'll talk more about it when you're in L.A.
00:02:10You're coming tomorrow.
00:02:11Tomorrow?
00:02:22One more chapter and you can finish this book
00:02:24Just write, Max.
00:02:27Stop blinking like that.
00:02:29Oh!
00:02:35Forget writing.
00:02:36You need to be pitching for the Dodgers.
00:02:39Very funny, Tony.
00:02:41Well, what's going on?
00:02:44I still can't finish the novel.
00:02:46Seven years of hard work
00:02:48and it still rides on this last chapter.
00:02:50Well, why don't you just chat GBT it?
00:02:52Okay, I'm kidding, Mr. Integrity.
00:02:55Look, why don't we just leave the workshop for a while?
00:02:58Huh?
00:02:59We're meeting with EMU Publishing.
00:03:00No.
00:03:01I should be writing.
00:03:02Hey, you said it yourself, Max.
00:03:04You haven't published in seven years.
00:03:06Look, do you want to keep this mansion?
00:03:09Huh?
00:03:10You want to keep this Apple laptop you just hurled across the room?
00:03:13We've got to do some business.
00:03:21Ah, there he is.
00:03:23That's the spirit.
00:03:24Good.
00:03:25Oh, do me a favor.
00:03:28Take a shower before we go.
00:03:30You smell like defeat.
00:03:43I am so sorry I'm late.
00:03:45Emergency landing in Tucson.
00:03:46Miss Von Clem still has some time before 3 p.m.
00:03:48Hurry.
00:03:49Amazing.
00:03:51I've got to sit.
00:03:57M.K. Roth?
00:03:58Am I dreaming?
00:03:59Hey, we're walking here, twerp.
00:04:01Get out of the way.
00:04:02Hey.
00:04:03Why don't you show the lady some respect?
00:04:05Did M.K. Roth just call me a lady?
00:04:09Lisa!
00:04:10I'm waiting!
00:04:19I'm working on a deal with M.K. Roth, the biggest name in fiction.
00:04:24We are in talks to publish his new novel here at EMU Publishing.
00:04:30Yeah!
00:04:31M.K. Roth is a new novel.
00:04:32I've waited years for this.
00:04:33He's my all-time favorite author.
00:04:36Here's the thing.
00:04:37I have a little crush on him.
00:04:39M.K.
00:04:40Max.
00:04:41I am crazy about him.
00:04:44That face, that hair, that...
00:04:47The race of a generation.
00:04:48Exactly.
00:04:49Normally, I can get any guy I want, any time I want.
00:04:54Just look at me.
00:04:56But Max is different.
00:04:57My usual tactics aren't working.
00:04:59What does that have to do with me?
00:05:02I was thinking, who better to play Cupid than my best-selling romance author, Heidi Brushfire?
00:05:11You want me to be your date doctor?
00:05:14Have I ever told you how much I love this pen name?
00:05:19You came up with it.
00:05:20Nobody writes romance like you do, Lisa.
00:05:25You must get dick like nobody's business.
00:05:28How do I tell her I've never had a steamy romance like in my books?
00:05:32Last time I had sex was college and he turned out to be gay.
00:05:35It's all just fiction.
00:05:37Made up.
00:05:38Don't be modest, Lisa.
00:05:40I am crushing hard here.
00:05:43I'll double your next advance.
00:05:46How's 50K sound?
00:05:4850,000?
00:05:50With that much money I could afford the live-in nurse moms always wanted.
00:05:53I'm not hearing a no, so that is a yes.
00:05:56You'll stay with me.
00:05:57You'll have the guest room and the pool all to yourself.
00:06:08Showtime.
00:06:09So we meet again.
00:06:25Guess I wasn't dreaming.
00:06:27Guess I wasn't either.
00:06:29Look, I know Giselle's the CEO, but she's got an ass sick of me, a stripper.
00:06:35I wasn't looking.
00:06:37It was her friend.
00:06:40Don't even think about going for Max.
00:06:43You are here to be my dating coach.
00:06:45Not to date my man.
00:06:47Got it.
00:06:48You better.
00:06:49Max and I are going to have the hottest kids ever.
00:06:53What were you saying about a party?
00:06:55My people will explain everything.
00:06:57Oh.
00:06:58Lisa Brown, Giselle's lawyer.
00:07:05Can you sign this NDA?
00:07:07I'm the stylist.
00:07:08I need your measurements.
00:07:09I'm the dog walker.
00:07:11And you just...
00:07:12What did I get myself into?
00:07:21Lisa, hurry up!
00:07:23I can barely walk in these.
00:07:37You'll learn.
00:07:38Tonight's my first night meeting Max outside the office.
00:07:42Help me sweep him off his feet.
00:07:44I'll do my best.
00:07:45I just wish I had more time to prepare.
00:07:47I believe in you.
00:07:48Heidi Brushfire.
00:07:53I don't know.
00:07:54I hate parties.
00:07:55You know this.
00:07:56Oh, come on.
00:07:57It's part of the job, Max.
00:07:58Hey, listen.
00:07:59I want you to meet this producer.
00:08:00He wants to do a movie based on your first novel.
00:08:01Come on.
00:08:02How many times do I have to tell you?
00:08:03I don't care about Hollywood.
00:08:04I want my books to stay books.
00:08:06On second thought, maybe there is someone here I want to talk to.
00:08:09What are you talking about?
00:08:10Max is coming.
00:08:11Tell me what to say.
00:08:12I thought this was your thing.
00:08:13I need lines right fucking now.
00:08:16Ah!
00:08:17Ah!
00:08:18Ah!
00:08:19Ah!
00:08:20Ah!
00:08:21Ah!
00:08:22Ah!
00:08:23Ah!
00:08:24Ah!
00:08:25Ah!
00:08:26Ah!
00:08:27Ah!
00:08:28Ah!
00:08:29Ah!
00:08:30Ah!
00:08:31Ah!
00:08:32Ah!
00:08:33Ah!
00:08:34Ah!
00:08:35Ah!
00:08:36Ah!
00:08:37Ah!
00:08:47I am so sorry.
00:08:48I didn't mean to.
00:08:49The next time you want to use my jacket, just ask me.
00:08:52Come on.
00:08:56Lisa, a word!
00:09:00Stop acting like a fool and do your fucking job!
00:09:03Sorry, it wasn't my fault.
00:09:05I will be forgiven if you can get Max to ask me out.
00:09:10Tell me what to do.
00:09:15Wow.
00:09:16In Elvenless, Shihara the Elven princess attracts men with her mystery.
00:09:22Mm.
00:09:23She's quiet.
00:09:24She speaks in riddles.
00:09:25She has a ethereal eroticism to her.
00:09:28Like a sexy alien.
00:09:31That'll work.
00:09:32Be alluring.
00:09:33I'll come to you.
00:09:34If you fuck this up, not only are you going to lose your bonus-
00:09:38Fuck this up.
00:09:39Not only are you going to lose your bonus, I'm canceling your publishing contract.
00:09:43What?
00:09:44Yeah.
00:09:45You think I need you to push the Heidi Brushfire books?
00:09:48I own the pen name and the rights.
00:09:51Sorry about Lisa.
00:10:04What a klutz.
00:10:05Try not to spill this one.
00:10:06I'm sorry.
00:10:07That was a bad joke.
00:10:08I feel like I'm falling on my face here too, even if I'm not literally doing it.
00:10:20So.
00:10:21Em.
00:10:22Max.
00:10:24What's up?
00:10:25What's the scariest kind of writer?
00:10:30A ghost writer.
00:10:32Oh no.
00:10:33When I told her to speak in riddles, I didn't mean literally.
00:10:36Now she's telling dad jokes.
00:10:43Well, you have a mysterious sense of humor, Giselle.
00:10:47What the hell?
00:10:49It actually worked?
00:10:56Why are writers always cold?
00:11:01Because they're surrounded by drafts.
00:11:09Thank you, Giselle, for the entertainment for the night.
00:11:14I'm going to head out of here.
00:11:16But.
00:11:17And please.
00:11:19Respect the personal space.
00:11:20Okay?
00:11:23Have a good night.
00:11:26No, sweet.
00:11:27Giselle, just fucking stop.
00:11:28Okay?
00:11:29You're ruining everything.
00:11:32I warned you.
00:11:34You are going back to Indiana right now.
00:11:36Yes, dad.
00:11:37Can you let go of my hair, please?
00:11:46I look like an idiot in front of Max tonight.
00:11:49And it's all your fault.
00:11:51Give me another chance, please.
00:11:52As if.
00:11:53You're not a date doctor.
00:11:55Date doctor?
00:11:56You're not even fit to be a romance author.
00:11:59Not at my company.
00:12:00No.
00:12:01I'm begging you, Miss Von Klimt.
00:12:02I can't lose my publishing deal.
00:12:03I'm supporting my mom.
00:12:04She needs me.
00:12:05She needs me.
00:12:06You're on thin fucking ice, Lisa.
00:12:14Don't thank me.
00:12:15Go get me, my man.
00:12:18Nice pool.
00:12:19Tell me all about L.A.
00:12:20I should be home with you, Mom.
00:12:21I can roll around on my own for a few days.
00:12:22So what's the hubbub?
00:12:23I actually can't talk about it because I signed an NDA, but...
00:12:25The good news is I might be getting a big bonus if I don't screw things up.
00:12:42When have you messed anything up?
00:12:44Except your dating life.
00:12:45Mom!
00:12:46Speaking of.
00:12:47I made you a Tinder profile.
00:12:49You already have matches.
00:12:50Remember Billy from high school?
00:12:52He's been saying a lot of sexy things to you.
00:12:55Maybe too sexy.
00:12:57Could you please not butt into my love life?
00:13:00I know I haven't dated in a while, but that doesn't mean I want my mom playing matchmaker.
00:13:04Wouldn't it be funny if people found out romance writer Heidi Brushfire was really a spinster in training from rural Indiana?
00:13:12I have to get to work.
00:13:17Oh, I'm not Beetle.
00:13:18I'm really scared.
00:13:19I want to.
00:13:20I'm not…
00:13:21This is hopeless.
00:13:41I've been reading dating books all day
00:13:42and I haven't learned anything that could help Miss Van Klimt.
00:13:45I'm screwed.
00:13:51I'm so sorry.
00:14:03Please don't recognize me.
00:14:04Please don't recognize me.
00:14:07You're Giselle's friend, right?
00:14:10The clumsy one.
00:14:12A week ago, I would have killed to be recognized by my favorite author.
00:14:15Now I wish I was dead.
00:14:17Hey, why are you crying?
00:14:20Okay?
00:14:21I was just, um, reading a sad book.
00:14:42What were you reading?
00:14:45Think, Lisa.
00:14:45You're a writer.
00:14:46You know about books.
00:14:49Wait.
00:14:49I know.
00:14:50Wuthering Heights.
00:14:52Not a lie.
00:14:53It does make me cry.
00:14:55Wuthering Heights.
00:14:56Well, that's one of my favorites.
00:14:58It makes me cry, too.
00:15:00It's so beautiful.
00:15:02And tragic.
00:15:03You like romance?
00:15:05Yeah, I used to.
00:15:07Hey, let me help you.
00:15:09I got it, really.
00:15:10I got it, really.
00:15:12Is this yours?
00:15:20I'm not stalking you.
00:15:22I promise.
00:15:24You can admit you like me.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:32I'm a fan.
00:15:34I read your books because I know you have a new one coming out.
00:15:37So I was just rereading your last one for about the tenth time.
00:15:43You've read my book ten times?
00:15:45I'm a writer, too.
00:15:48Miss Vaughn Klint's my publisher.
00:15:49So I've heard.
00:15:55Funny seeing you here.
00:15:57Aren't you supposed to be reckless?
00:15:58Whoever said that obviously spends no time in the library because I'm here all the time.
00:16:03And I love the smell of old books.
00:16:07What are you checking out?
00:16:09That's actually this new author.
00:16:12Um, have you heard of Heidi Brushfire?
00:16:16But how...
00:16:18I googled it.
00:16:20I'm not stalking you.
00:16:22I promise.
00:16:25And here is the romance section.
00:16:31Here we go.
00:16:33Oh, yes.
00:16:35I can't wait to read this.
00:16:37Oh, could you take a picture of us?
00:16:40I'm a big fan of yours, Miss Brushfire.
00:16:42Oh.
00:16:43Okay.
00:16:49Oh.
00:16:51Looking forward to your next book.
00:16:55That never happens in Indiana.
00:16:58Back to Wuthering Heights.
00:17:01Not to brag.
00:17:02But I happen to own a first edition.
00:17:05Come by my place sometime and check it out.
00:17:08Your place?
00:17:09Oh.
00:17:10Um.
00:17:11How about tomorrow?
00:17:12Hi, Miss Von Klimt.
00:17:30Hi, Poo-Poo.
00:17:35So cute.
00:17:36Where have you been?
00:17:38And why am I not Mrs. M.K. Roth yet?
00:17:42Funnily enough, I just ran into Max at the library.
00:17:49Did he say anything about the other night?
00:17:51Tell me everything.
00:17:53It actually didn't come up.
00:17:56That could be good.
00:17:57Actually, he invited me over tomorrow afternoon.
00:18:00You?
00:18:02What did I tell you about snaking my man?
00:18:06Back your bags.
00:18:07You're out of here.
00:18:09Oh, wait.
00:18:10Wait.
00:18:11Let me explain.
00:18:13You're right.
00:18:15Max is a special case.
00:18:17My usual advice won't work.
00:18:19I need to get to know him better.
00:18:22I'll tell you everything so we can use it to your advantage.
00:18:25I just need some more time.
00:18:27Not a bad plan.
00:18:28What do you think, Poo-Poo?
00:18:34Should we trust her?
00:18:38I leave for New York this week.
00:18:40If you don't have results by the time that I'm back,
00:18:44you're out of a job and a publishing deal.
00:18:48Got it?
00:18:48Since the divorce, every moment was pain.
00:18:59James felt like Prometheus, tortured by the gods.
00:19:02But instead of eagles eating his liver,
00:19:05they picked at his heart.
00:19:07Then again, maybe he deserved to suffer.
00:19:10Who would read this self-pitying garbage?
00:19:24I've got to snap out of it.
00:19:28Lisa!
00:19:29I almost forgot.
00:19:31Just the writing break I needed.
00:19:32I need it.
00:19:40Hi, Max.
00:19:44It's so good to see you.
00:19:49Same here.
00:19:53Come in.
00:19:54Do you want some wine?
00:19:55Um, water's fine.
00:20:00Don't lose your mind over a man, Lisa.
00:20:03You have a job to do.
00:20:10Hard to believe people have been falling in love
00:20:14with Catherine and Heathcliff for almost 200 years.
00:20:18Well, they're pretty easy to fall for.
00:20:25I leave for New York this week.
00:20:28If you don't have results by the time that I'm back,
00:20:32you're out of a job and a publishing deal.
00:20:35Got it?
00:20:36So, Max, seeing anyone lately?
00:20:42I'm seeing you.
00:20:44Right now.
00:20:45I mean, romantically.
00:20:48What do you want in a woman?
00:20:55Just look in the mirror.
00:20:59You, Joker.
00:21:00Is it me or is Max coming on stronger than Pepe Le Pew?
00:21:08He's supposed to want Giselle.
00:21:10I've got to get his mind off me.
00:21:15Forgive me, Emily Bronte.
00:21:24Lisa.
00:21:25It's a $50,000 book.
00:21:28$50,000?
00:21:29Oh, no.
00:21:32I went too far.
00:21:34Please let the book be okay.
00:21:41There's no damage.
00:21:44Luckily.
00:21:44I'm so sorry.
00:21:46Let me clean up.
00:21:48So when's the new book coming out?
00:21:57As soon as I finish writing it.
00:21:59It's not done yet, I thought.
00:22:01The subject matter is proven quite difficult.
00:22:04It's about a divorce.
00:22:07My divorce.
00:22:09I'm so sorry.
00:22:09I didn't know.
00:22:10Unlike some public figures, I don't like to broadcast my personal life.
00:22:13Anyway, I'll finish the book.
00:22:16I just can't find the ending.
00:22:17When I have writer's block, I usually try to chalk it out with someone.
00:22:21Usually my mom.
00:22:22She gives surprisingly good notes.
00:22:25Thanks, Lisa.
00:22:25But I don't think my mom can help me with this issue.
00:22:29Sorry.
00:22:30Stupid.
00:22:31Thanks for the advice.
00:22:34I can write an ending.
00:22:36I just don't know what it should be.
00:22:39Which reminds me I should probably get back to work.
00:22:52Thanks for coming by.
00:22:54And getting me out of my head for a bit.
00:22:57Any time.
00:23:11Later, dude.
00:23:20As I left the house, Max continued his battle with the blank page.
00:23:23I couldn't help him out without giving him the wrong idea.
00:23:29He's supposed to date her, not me.
00:23:38What am I thinking?
00:23:39Max goes to red carpet events and lives in a mansion.
00:23:42Why did I ask him to do the most boring thing on earth?
00:23:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:23:49He's responding.
00:23:50Please let me down gently, Max.
00:23:52Max, my fragile heart can't take it.
00:23:59I really needed this.
00:24:03I got the big house, you know, but no pool.
00:24:06You're welcome any time.
00:24:08I mean, I'm sure it's cool with Miss Von Klimt.
00:24:11It's her house.
00:24:12It's her house.
00:24:12Oh, still at it, I see.
00:24:30Sorry.
00:24:32Creepy, right?
00:24:33We can be creepy together.
00:24:34You're actually reading it?
00:24:43Are you joking?
00:24:44I can't put it down.
00:24:46It's like the sexiest book I've ever read.
00:24:48Hey, where do you get your ideas?
00:24:50Probably not where you think.
00:24:52My love life's pretty unexciting.
00:24:56Non-existent, actually.
00:24:58I find that hard to believe.
00:25:00You didn't know me growing up.
00:25:02I was an ugly duckling.
00:25:05It was easier making my characters fall in love than actually risking it myself.
00:25:09Well, Lisa, you're not an ugly duckling anymore.
00:25:17I think you should come out of your shell.
00:25:20Hmm.
00:25:22So, any other thoughts about the book?
00:25:25Yeah, one more.
00:25:27The next book you release, make it under your name.
00:25:31You are too good.
00:25:33I'll think about it.
00:25:36Hey, can you get my bag for me?
00:25:39Be cool, Lisa.
00:25:49You're just rubbing some lotion on your hero crush's back.
00:25:53Think of Miss Von Klimt.
00:26:09So, Max, I was wondering.
00:26:15The love interest in your last novel, is she based on your ex?
00:26:25Shoot!
00:26:26I said the wrong thing!
00:26:28Jesus, Lisa, you must be the worst dating coach in history!
00:26:30Yeah, I guess what I don't post online, it still comes out in my writing.
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:41She's, uh, she's based on my ex-wife.
00:26:47Very different time.
00:26:50It's, it's hard to even imagine myself having a romantic bone in my body.
00:26:56Because all I do is write, and avoid writing.
00:27:03Can I ask what happened?
00:27:05I thought she was my pixie, manic dream girl.
00:27:13But she was just manic.
00:27:16She was aggressive.
00:27:17She was type A.
00:27:20Workaholic.
00:27:20Obsessed with status and money.
00:27:24Sounds like Miss Von Klimt.
00:27:26Is that your type?
00:27:29It used to be, yeah.
00:27:34But I'm an introvert, you know?
00:27:38I would much rather prefer a pool day like this than some random L.A. party.
00:27:46If I decide to remarry, it's going to be someone who's like me.
00:27:54Maybe even a writer.
00:28:01Oh no!
00:28:02Today was supposed to be platonic abort!
00:28:04Abort!
00:28:05What's wrong, Lisa?
00:28:06I'm getting hot.
00:28:08Are you thirsty?
00:28:08I am so thirsty.
00:28:10Oh!
00:28:10Ah!
00:28:13Ah!
00:28:14Ah!
00:28:15Ah!
00:28:32You okay?
00:28:33Sorry about that.
00:28:34That was an accident.
00:28:35Ah!
00:28:36Hey!
00:28:36That's so mean!
00:28:39That's so mean!
00:28:51I'm so mean!
00:28:58I'm pruning!
00:29:00You look pretty good for a prune.
00:29:02My phone.
00:29:11My phone.
00:29:21Geez!
00:29:21Is she sidekick or something?
00:29:25Miss Von Klimt, hi!
00:29:27Any updates on Max?
00:29:29Um...
00:29:30Who are you waving to?
00:29:38I just invited a friend over to swim.
00:29:41A fuck party?
00:29:42Show me!
00:29:43No!
00:29:44Of course not!
00:29:47Me likey.
00:29:49Just don't bang in my pool.
00:29:51I had it cleaned last week.
00:29:52So, what's happening with Max?
00:29:53So, what's happening with Max?
00:29:55I'm getting plenty of material.
00:29:57Music to my ears.
00:29:59Poo-poos too.
00:30:01I have good news as well.
00:30:03Got the contract all settled with Tony.
00:30:06And we are signing Max to EMU Publishing.
00:30:09That's amazing!
00:30:11I'll talk to you about it more when I see you.
00:30:13Poo-poos gotta poo-poo.
00:30:20Hey.
00:30:21How about some dinner tonight?
00:30:23And a little spot by the beach.
00:30:26I don't normally go out, but...
00:30:28Tonight feels special.
00:30:30If you ruin this for Miss Von Klimt,
00:30:32your writing career is done for.
00:30:35What do you say?
00:30:35Giselle's contract just came in.
00:30:43Looks good.
00:30:44All's in our court.
00:30:45Yeah, maybe I should read it myself.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48You don't trust me?
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:51But make sure that she doesn't turn my books
00:30:54into some Hollywood cash-grab franchise, okay?
00:30:57Hey, you're the boss, boss.
00:30:59Max paddled towards me
00:31:05with that same cheeky smirk
00:31:07he'd given me all day.
00:31:10If I didn't know better,
00:31:11I'd swear he wanted to kiss me.
00:31:15Lisa?
00:31:17Sorry about that.
00:31:18I had a business call.
00:31:20What are you writing?
00:31:24Max, stop!
00:31:26Is this your diary?
00:31:27Oh no, Max has my journal.
00:31:29How could it be so stupid?
00:31:39On second thought,
00:31:41I would not want anybody reading my diary.
00:31:48You never know when inspiration will strike.
00:31:51Have you felt inspired lately?
00:32:00Yes, I have.
00:32:02Maybe you're my muse.
00:32:03In all seriousness, though,
00:32:05it's nice spending time with another writer.
00:32:08Makes me feel like less of a weirdo.
00:32:11Weirdo?
00:32:12Max, you're one of the most famous authors in the world.
00:32:14It gets lonely.
00:32:28What's wrong?
00:32:29That food's amazing.
00:32:31Can I ask you a favor?
00:32:34Would you be willing to read my manuscript?
00:32:38Maybe you can help me write the ending.
00:32:42Me?
00:32:42I'm signing to EMU Publishing,
00:32:47so we're basically co-workers.
00:32:49And you're a fantastic writer.
00:32:51And you know my work.
00:32:53And you know that I'm struggling with this.
00:32:57I trust you, Lisa.
00:32:59You trust me?
00:33:03Yeah.
00:33:06Should I not?
00:33:07You might not trust me if you know that I'm an undercover date doctor.
00:33:13I'd be honored to read it, Max.
00:33:17Thanks.
00:33:17It would mean a lot to me.
00:33:31After dinner,
00:33:32we can print it at the library.
00:33:36Stop by my place to read it.
00:33:39You mean your place?
00:33:40That's okay, isn't it?
00:33:42He can't really be trying to sleep with me, right?
00:33:45He just wants to give me his manuscript.
00:33:47Because if he does have other ideas,
00:33:49I'm not sure I'll be able to control myself.
00:33:56Check, please.
00:33:56Careful.
00:34:22Clumsy girl.
00:34:24I'm only clumsy around you.
00:34:26Is that right?
00:34:28Please, do not share this with anyone.
00:34:31The only people I want reading it are you and me.
00:34:35Okay?
00:34:36Thank you for trusting me.
00:34:44You make it easy.
00:34:46Max, they can't be.
00:34:56Oh, my God, Max.
00:35:02Oh.
00:35:02Shh, shh, shh.
00:35:25Fuck.
00:35:26Wow, Lisa.
00:35:44I want you.
00:35:46You're in jail.
00:35:47I want you.
00:36:17What have I done?
00:36:47Oh no, I'm at Max's place, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I can't believe I slept with Max, Ms. Von Klipz will murder me, relax Lisa, Max is famous, he probably has one night stands all the time.
00:37:17No reason he can't still fall for Ms. Von Klipz.
00:37:21Lisa, what are you doing?
00:37:27Max, look, we don't have to talk about this, I'm a romance writer, I know what this is.
00:37:33What is this?
00:37:34Fun in the sun, too much wine at dinner, one thing lit to another, it's not a big deal.
00:37:41I haven't slept with anyone, Lisa, since my wife left me.
00:37:45Oh.
00:37:47I want to see you again, and not just to get your notes.
00:37:52Me, too.
00:38:07What's that?
00:38:08Giselle?
00:38:23What are you doing here?
00:38:27Ms. Von Klipz?
00:38:28She's supposed to be out of town until Friday.
00:38:30Where's Spector?
00:38:36When Tony told me you were ready to sign the contract, I flew home early to personally deliver mimosas.
00:38:44Hope you're thirsty.
00:38:45Thanks, but it's not a very good time for me.
00:38:49What's wrong?
00:38:50You have company?
00:38:54Good thing I'm not the jealous type.
00:38:56Who's the lucky lady?
00:38:59Gentleman never tells.
00:39:04Thanks again.
00:39:05I'll see you at the signing.
00:39:06Cheers.
00:39:06Max!
00:39:07Max!
00:39:17Mimosas, anyone?
00:39:20Lisa?
00:39:26Giselle!
00:39:50You're home early.
00:39:51Did you have a sleepover with your fuck buddy last night?
00:39:54What was his name, by the way?
00:39:57He was just some guy from Tinder.
00:39:59Probably used a fake name anyway.
00:40:01Which was?
00:40:02Ma-
00:40:02Er-
00:40:04Jerry!
00:40:07Jerry McIntosh.
00:40:08Almost sounded like you were going to say Max.
00:40:12That's funny.
00:40:15What's going on with my guy anyways?
00:40:18No, I've been having the nastiest dreams about him.
00:40:21I saw him a few times while you were away.
00:40:24Everything's in my journal.
00:40:25Let me see!
00:40:28My handwriting's a mess.
00:40:30I'll retype it for you by tonight.
00:40:32Okay.
00:40:33Nice work.
00:40:35I'm sending half your bonus.
00:40:37There better be some juicy shit in there.
00:40:42Thanks, Miss Von Clemson.
00:40:43Oh, what is up, hot stuff?
00:40:52Keep it in your pants for once.
00:40:54Oh, come on.
00:40:55Everything's going according to plan.
00:40:57I'll see you at the signing.
00:40:58Oh, I will be there, beautiful.
00:41:00I'm getting carpal tunnel.
00:41:13This is, like, the longest contract I've ever signed.
00:41:15Hey, for the biggest check.
00:41:17Huh?
00:41:21Well, you just bought yourself a bestseller.
00:41:25Let's toast.
00:41:26Let's toast.
00:41:30You're off the quiet today, Giselle.
00:41:36You know I'm thrilled.
00:41:38I'm your biggest fan.
00:41:40I was just thinking about your book that I finished last night.
00:41:44I was wondering if I should read it again before I return it to the library.
00:41:50I love libraries, but I wouldn't take you as the type.
00:41:54Oh, I love the smell of old books.
00:41:57Me too.
00:42:00Ha-ha.
00:42:02Hey.
00:42:05For you.
00:42:10To the thorn tree.
00:42:12To the thorn tree.
00:42:13Cheers.
00:42:16Well, when do we get to see the manuscript?
00:42:19I'm dying to read it.
00:42:21Just waiting for notes from the trusted reader.
00:42:23Really?
00:42:23Who?
00:42:24Don't worry.
00:42:25I'll send it soon.
00:42:26Well, that should get going.
00:42:32So, Tony, thanks for the champagne.
00:42:33You got it, buddy.
00:42:34And I'll see you.
00:42:35Bye, Max.
00:42:36We'll be in touch.
00:42:42We signed, babe.
00:42:43We are almost there.
00:42:44And if everything else goes according to plan, you're going to be out of bankruptcy.
00:42:47And we are going to be filthy, stinking rich.
00:42:50You always know what to say to a girl, Tony.
00:42:53Well, I also know what to do to a girl, too.
00:42:58How's the nurse working out, Mom?
00:43:00Nice to have someone get the wine glasses down from the top shelf for me.
00:43:04I am so glad I can finally afford someone for you.
00:43:07Thank you, sugar.
00:43:08Just don't spend all your bonus on me.
00:43:12Gotta go.
00:43:13Love you.
00:43:14Miss Von Klimt, hi.
00:43:21Max?
00:43:23Am I interrupting something?
00:43:25No.
00:43:26But I, uh...
00:43:30So, can I come in?
00:43:32Resist, Lisa.
00:43:33Miss Von Klimt sees Max in here.
00:43:34I'm dead meat.
00:43:44At least I'll die happy.
00:43:46I'm dead meat.
00:44:16Max's car?
00:44:43What's he doing here?
00:44:44I finished the manuscript.
00:44:52It might just be your best book yet.
00:44:54That means a lot's coming from you.
00:44:57What do I do about the ending?
00:45:03The main character goes through so much heartbreak.
00:45:07He has a choice at the end.
00:45:09To live in pain or to move on.
00:45:10To write the final chapter, why not consider how you feel?
00:45:15Do you think you'll find love again?
00:45:17Or not?
00:45:18I never thought I would even trust a woman after Heather cheated on me.
00:45:27But now, I'm seeing some light shine through the dark clouds.
00:45:33Maybe you, I mean, James, you should get a happy ending.
00:45:42Give the readers some hope.
00:45:45Max!
00:45:46Max!
00:45:47Oh, my God.
00:45:50Oh, my God.
00:45:51Oh, my God.
00:45:51Giselle's home.
00:45:53Are you guys friends?
00:45:54We are, but I just don't want her to find out about us yet.
00:45:58Why not?
00:45:59Because you're a private person.
00:46:03It's none of her business.
00:46:06You're sweet.
00:46:07Lisa, is Max in there?
00:46:20Max, what are you doing here?
00:46:25Discussing his manuscript.
00:46:29Lisa gives great notes.
00:46:31Well, actually, I'm glad you're here.
00:46:36Ocean Vuong's having a reading tonight.
00:46:38Are you free?
00:46:39I love Ocean Vuong.
00:46:42You should come with.
00:46:43Actually, Lisa has other plans.
00:46:46Too bad.
00:46:47We'll miss you.
00:46:48Oh.
00:47:01Are you sure you don't want to get a drink with Ocean?
00:47:11I mean, you know, I was tempted.
00:47:13Ocean's a sweetheart, but I'm not much of a going-out girl.
00:47:17I'd much rather stay in and curl up with a good book.
00:47:21I don't know.
00:47:22You seemed pretty cozy at that industry event the other night.
00:47:24Because I'm good at my job.
00:47:26You know, I'm a bookworm, Max.
00:47:28That is why I run a publishing company.
00:47:31Yeah, but didn't you inherit that company?
00:47:33What's your point?
00:47:35Okay, what's your favorite book?
00:47:37I'd have to say Wuthering Heights.
00:47:39It always makes me cry.
00:47:41Wuthering Heights?
00:47:42What?
00:47:42You don't like it?
00:47:43I've just been hearing a lot about that book lately.
00:47:45It's actually one of my favorites.
00:47:47Oh.
00:47:48Makes me cry.
00:47:51It's getting really cold outside.
00:47:54Do you want to come in for a coffee?
00:47:57Um...
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59Yeah, sure.
00:48:00Sorry.
00:48:10I know it's worked.
00:48:12I can't watch.
00:48:18I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, Giselle.
00:48:21I like you.
00:48:22And we have a lot of similar interests.
00:48:24I misread the situation, too.
00:48:27I like you, too.
00:48:29I'm seeing someone.
00:48:31And I really like her.
00:48:32And I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:48:35Maybe we can just be friends.
00:48:37I mean, we work together.
00:48:38It's a lot less complicated that way.
00:48:40Sure.
00:48:41I'd like that.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:43Well, I gotta get going.
00:48:47Have a good night.
00:48:48And good luck with that girl.
00:48:50Yeah.
00:48:51Thanks.
00:48:51Seeing someone?
00:48:54If it's that mousy little Lisa, I'm gonna feed that bitch rat poison.
00:48:59That home-wrecking whore has outstayed her welcome.
00:49:03Big time.
00:49:03Max and Giselle kissed.
00:49:09So what?
00:49:09That's a good thing.
00:49:11Why am I being so weird about it?
00:49:17Can we talk?
00:49:20Thanks so much for all your advice with Max.
00:49:23It's been working wonders.
00:49:25How'd it go last night?
00:49:26Let's just say I think I'll be handling things on my own from here on out.
00:49:31That's great.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:33I'm sending the rest of your bonus now.
00:49:36Pack your bags.
00:49:37Your car arrives in an hour.
00:49:43What?
00:49:44What did you think you were gonna move in?
00:49:46I'm rich, Lisa.
00:49:47I'm not looking for a roommate.
00:49:49I thought I'd have more time.
00:49:51For what?
00:49:52I never saw the Hollywood sign.
00:49:55Overrated.
00:49:57Pack your bags.
00:49:58Your car is gonna be here in an hour.
00:50:01Relax, poo-poo.
00:50:02I'm coming.
00:50:04Take the hint.
00:50:05Go back to Indiana and forget all about Max.
00:50:08He's in a Miss Von Klimt now.
00:50:10We were never meant to be.
00:50:13I'm reading the sequel.
00:50:15Unless we are.
00:50:16What do I do?
00:50:17No.
00:50:27Man.
00:50:29I know.
00:50:30...
00:50:30No.
00:50:31No.
00:50:32No.
00:50:32No.
00:50:33No.
00:50:33No.
00:50:34No.
00:50:34No.
00:50:35No.
00:50:35Yo.
00:50:35No.
00:50:36No.
00:50:37No.
00:50:38No.
00:50:39No.
00:50:39Almost to the airport.
00:50:55Can I change the destination?
00:51:01Come on, Max, be home.
00:51:02Lisa, what's the matter?
00:51:17Hey, just breathe. Calm down.
00:51:27You're with me now. Everything's going to be just fine.
00:51:29I...
00:51:32Shh.
00:51:37Shh.
00:51:41What?
00:51:54What?
00:51:55What?
00:51:57That bitch better not have stopped for tacos on my dime.
00:52:02Wait, I know that address.
00:52:15Max's house?
00:52:16She's dead.
00:52:17I should go. Or I'll miss my flight. I just came to say goodbye. I didn't expect all of this.
00:52:22I should go.
00:52:23I should go. Or I'll miss my flight. I just came to say goodbye. I didn't expect all of this.
00:52:37Maybe it sounds crazy, Lisa, but I'm falling for you. You can stay here with me as long as you want.
00:52:53Really?
00:52:54What?
00:52:55And if you miss your mom, I will fly her here. She can stay here. There's plenty of space.
00:53:01I'll put in ramps for her wheelchair.
00:53:04What about you and Miss Von Klimt? I saw you kissing last night.
00:53:09Well, then you must have missed me letting her down easy. Because you are the only one that I want.
00:53:18Let me think about it. All right?
00:53:21Take as much time as you need.
00:53:35Real smooth, Max.
00:53:42I have to admit, I'm curious what she's working on next. One little pee couldn't hurt.
00:53:51I was craving sex with Max more and more. Knowing he was forbidden fruit only made it sweeter.
00:54:13What the hell is this?
00:54:15Max, I can explain.
00:54:19You're writing about us. About me.
00:54:22I told you, my journal's private.
00:54:24Then why does it look like you're writing your next romance novel?
00:54:27It does.
00:54:29You know, I don't want my personal life splattered around.
00:54:35Max, it's just my diary. I'd never dream of publishing it.
00:54:38I cannot believe I fell for your ugly duckling story. Just admit it. You are using me for material.
00:54:47I can't tell Max the truth or it'll mean ratting out Miss Von Klimt and that means losing my publishing contract.
00:54:52What do I do?
00:54:53Your silence says everything.
00:55:01Max, I never meant to hurt you.
00:55:03Don't you have a plane to catch?
00:55:05But Max!
00:55:06We are done.
00:55:08Get out, Lisa.
00:55:09Lisa.
00:55:12And if I ever see this printed, you'll be hearing from my attorneys.
00:55:23I'm so sorry, Max.
00:55:40Need a ride, skink?
00:55:47What are you doing here?
00:55:49Bitch, what are you doing here?
00:55:52You're supposed to be at the airport right now.
00:55:55But no, you just had to stop by Max's for a little last quickie, didn't you?
00:56:01I can't explain.
00:56:02No, I brought you out here for a reason.
00:56:04And that reason is not fucking Max behind my back.
00:56:07I trusted you.
00:56:10I'm so sorry I let you down.
00:56:13Max just broke up with me.
00:56:16You broke up?
00:56:18Max must be vulnerable.
00:56:20Maybe I'm still in the game after all.
00:56:25I'll forgive you if you leave right now.
00:56:28You can keep the money and the publishing deal.
00:56:31But I never want to see your face at LA again.
00:56:34Got it?
00:56:35Okay.
00:56:38Now beat it!
00:56:47Dammit, Lisa. I said to get out of here. We're through.
00:56:52Giselle.
00:56:54What are you doing here?
00:56:55I guess this is a bad time.
00:56:58Wait.
00:57:00I could use somebody to talk to.
00:57:06Thanks, Giselle.
00:57:08I don't think alcohol can solve this problem, though.
00:57:11Couldn't hurt.
00:57:12It hurt.
00:57:27So...
00:57:29What happened with Lisa?
00:57:32She was using me for her next romance novel.
00:57:36I found her journal.
00:57:39I should have known it was too good to be true.
00:57:42She's the woman you told me about?
00:57:45I'm so sorry.
00:57:48No, Lisa's always been like this.
00:57:51She's a succubus.
00:57:52She's a succubus.
00:57:54Just...
00:57:55using men for her perverted novels.
00:58:06Now...
00:58:07I may not know what to say to make you feel better, but...
00:58:10I do know something that might distract you.
00:58:15I have just returned from a visit to my landlord.
00:58:29The solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled.
00:58:34I have just returned from a visit to my landlord.
00:58:39The solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled with.
00:58:44This is certainly a beautiful country.
00:58:49In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation
00:58:55so completely removed from the stir of society.
00:58:59completely removed from the stir of society.
00:59:04Are you gonna mope around in your PJs forever?
00:59:30I'm a writer, Mom.
00:59:34PJs are my uniform.
00:59:36When are you gonna tell me what happened?
00:59:39How about getting out of the house?
00:59:42I thought we got Teresa so you didn't have to be around so much.
00:59:46Your Tinder matches are just waiting for a time and place.
00:59:50I don't want a Tinder date, Mom.
00:59:52Just leave me alone, please.
00:59:54See what I'm dealing with, Teresa?
00:59:56Goes to LA for two weeks, comes back a drama queen.
01:00:00M.K. Roth's Thorn Tree tops Times bestseller lists.
01:00:05Congratulations, Max.
01:00:10Ms. Von Klimt?
01:00:15Looks like she finally got him.
01:00:20Another week topping the bestseller list.
01:00:34We're breaking records, Max.
01:00:36I'm just glad that people like it.
01:00:38Like it? They love it!
01:00:40You might win the National Book Award.
01:00:44You've been drinking a lot lately.
01:00:50Everything okay?
01:00:52Well, I know something that will cheer you up.
01:00:58I went to the doctor today.
01:01:00Guess what?
01:01:02What?
01:01:03What?
01:01:04I'm pregnant.
01:01:08You're pregnant?
01:01:10But how? How? We're using protection.
01:01:13Accidents happen, right?
01:01:15You are going to be such a great father.
01:01:19I can't wait to be Mrs. Roth.
01:01:21So you're keeping it?
01:01:24Why wouldn't I?
01:01:26I want this to work, Max.
01:01:29I love you.
01:01:30I love you.
01:01:42Well...
01:01:44Whatever you want to do, I will support it.
01:01:53Shihara never loved anyone like the Werewolf King.
01:01:56Their days were filled with long talks, reading, strolls around the castle,
01:02:02their nights with passionate lovemaking.
01:02:05Shihara had never been so happy.
01:02:10I can't write romance with a broken heart. This is torture!
01:02:15Not now, Mom.
01:02:17I thought a little gift might improve your mood.
01:02:21Thanks, Mom. You didn't have to.
01:02:23Your favorite author. Everyone's talking about the new book.
01:02:28It's in Oprah's Book Club.
01:02:30Surprised I haven't seen you reading it.
01:02:34I just didn't have the time.
01:02:36Thanks, Mom.
01:02:53To zamorалась Bification.
01:02:56I was tense.
01:02:58MRS.
01:03:01As James perused the library, you saw a young woman in glasses crying over Wuthering Heights.
01:03:06She felt his presence,
01:03:11wiping her eyes as she returned his gaze.
01:03:14turned his gaze. James had lost the game of love, but that didn't mean he never went
01:03:21again. A happy ending. He took my note. Maybe there's still hope for me.
01:03:31Millionaire author M.K. Roth to Wed, CEO of EMU Publishing. They're getting married?
01:03:47Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
01:04:01All this skimming around. Got me so horny for you, man.
01:04:14By this time next week, we're going to be rich because of that brilliant contract he made.
01:04:21Once you guys get married, the book rights transfer to you. The royalties alone are
01:04:35going to solve your company's bankruptcy. Then we'll take Max to Hollywood, whether
01:04:39he likes it or not. The studios are dying for a movie version of The Thorn Tree.
01:04:45We're not a trilogy. A TV show. Crypto. Video games. The possibilities are endless.
01:04:51We just have to keep our secret a little longer. I'll get rid of Max as soon as possible.
01:04:57Good. I hate sneaking around. It would have been easier if that bitch Lisa didn't almost
01:05:02fuck it up. Guess you get what you pay for. What do you mean? Oh, I didn't tell you? I've
01:05:10been paying her with her own money. I've withheld her royalties for years.
01:05:15Yes. You are so bad.
01:05:27What is it, Honey Bunch? Mom, I think I have to tell you about what happened in L.A.
01:05:32I couldn't tell Max why I was really writing about him. Now he's marrying Miss Von Klimt
01:05:44and he probably doesn't even know that she hired me to help her seduce him.
01:05:48Sounds like you need to tell him. Miss Von Klimt said if I ever go back to L.A., she'll
01:05:52cancel my publishing contract. We'll lose your nerves. Maybe a lot more.
01:05:57Look, Miss Von Bitch was born rich. She doesn't know anything but running her daddy's company.
01:06:03You were born in the middle of nowhere with a mom in a wheelchair and somehow you still
01:06:08became a big author. You could take that Barbie any day of the week.
01:06:12But Max dumped me. What if he really does love Miss Von Klimt?
01:06:18You'll never know unless you talk to him. Brave. Like Shehara, the elf princess.
01:06:25You're not that nerdy girl you were in high school. You're a badass bitch.
01:06:31You're right. But can I really break up a wedding?
01:06:35Hell yes, you can.
01:06:47Hey. You look great, pal.
01:06:51I can't believe I'm getting married again. Don't you think it's too soon?
01:06:55Not with the right lady.
01:06:58I'm not so sure about that.
01:07:05Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
01:07:07What is this about?
01:07:11Max, do not tell me it was about that English smut writer.
01:07:15Hey.
01:07:16Men would kill to be what you're saying.
01:07:19You know that.
01:07:20Elvin and Lust?
01:07:34Why are you reading this crap?
01:07:37Isn't it bad luck to see each other before the wedding day?
01:07:41Netflix called.
01:07:42They want to adapt The Thorn Tree as a dating show.
01:07:47The Ultimatum meets Vanderpump Rules.
01:07:50What do you think?
01:07:55I'm not whoring out my work.
01:07:57Stop asking me about Hollywood deals.
01:08:00I'm sorry.
01:08:01I just got excited.
01:08:03We'll talk after the ceremony.
01:08:04I made it.
01:08:16Thank God for book talk.
01:08:19Lisa?
01:08:20No, she ruined everything.
01:08:23Tony, hi.
01:08:24Yeah.
01:08:25Hey, I know this sounds crazy, but I really need to talk to Max.
01:08:27Do you know where I can find him?
01:08:28He's about to get married, Lisa.
01:08:30So.
01:08:30Yeah.
01:08:32That's kind of why I'm here.
01:08:33Okay.
01:08:34He doesn't want to see you.
01:08:35He and Giselle are very happy.
01:08:36No, but he doesn't know the truth.
01:08:38Giselle hired me to help her seduce him.
01:08:40What?
01:08:41You are crazy.
01:08:42You're talking like a crazy person.
01:08:43All right?
01:08:44Go back to the loony bin.
01:08:45Now.
01:08:45Aren't you Max's friend?
01:08:47Don't you want to hear me out?
01:08:49Nope.
01:08:50Come on.
01:08:51Let's go.
01:08:52Wait.
01:08:54You're in on this, too.
01:08:56What are you two planning to do to Max?
01:08:58You stupid little bitch.
01:09:00You're going to ruin this entire plan for me.
01:09:02What plan?
01:09:03I want you.
01:09:09What the hell's happening here, Tony?
01:09:11I'm so sorry.
01:09:12Lisa.
01:09:13Hey.
01:09:16What is happening?
01:09:17I told you to keep your man-stealing ass out of L.A.
01:09:22Miss von Klimt, think very clearly about what you say next.
01:09:27You know what I can do to you.
01:09:29Easy, Giselle.
01:09:31What happened between you two?
01:09:33Don't talk to her, Max.
01:09:35She is just looking to use you for more material for her books.
01:09:39Isn't that right, Lisa?
01:09:41Lisa, is that true?
01:09:43Come on, Lisa.
01:09:44Stand up for yourself.
01:09:45It's now or never.
01:09:46Giselle hired me to help her seduce you.
01:10:01What you read in my journal wasn't a book, at least not one I planned on.
01:10:04They were notes to share with Miss von Klimt.
01:10:08So what happened between us was fake?
01:10:11No, I just wanted to be a good date doctor.
01:10:14I was as shocked as anyone when I was the one who started to fall in love with you.
01:10:18Oh, you fell in love with me.
01:10:20Of course, Max.
01:10:23And I don't know what Miss von Klimt has told you, but I don't think she's marrying you for
01:10:26the right reasons.
01:10:27Because Tony seems to be a part of her plan.
01:10:29She is babbling like a psycho!
01:10:32Somebody call the police!
01:10:34I mean, to ruin our wedding day!
01:10:36Max, please believe me.
01:10:39I love you.
01:10:42Don't marry her.
01:10:43LAPD!
01:10:44There is a raving lunatic trying to ruin my wedding!
01:10:48And you know what?
01:10:49I'm gonna bring her right over here, right...
01:10:51Answer me this.
01:10:53Is that baby mine?
01:11:06It's mine!
01:11:07Giselle and I had the idea to screw you out of your book rights by adding some hidden
01:11:12clauses in the contract.
01:11:14She marries you.
01:11:16She controls everything.
01:11:18Tony, we have known each other for years.
01:11:22Why would you betray me?
01:11:24EMU Publishing was going bankrupt.
01:11:27Giselle needed money.
01:11:28She convinced me that I needed some too.
01:11:30But honestly, I didn't care about that.
01:11:35All I wanted was her.
01:11:36Oh, you sappy piece of shit!
01:11:39You fucked us!
01:11:41I love you!
01:11:42And the baby!
01:11:43Yeah?
01:11:44We hate you!
01:11:45Hey!
01:11:46It's safe to say, this wedding is over.
01:11:48And I'll see you two lovebirds in court.
01:11:52Can you ever forgive me for doubting you?
01:11:59I don't know what came over me.
01:12:01I was a mess after our fight.
01:12:03We can talk about it over dinner.
01:12:07I know a little spot by the beach.
01:12:13You are finished!
01:12:14Lisa, I am canceling our contract.
01:12:16And I am keeping the Heidi Brushfire name.
01:12:20Yeah, I'll write all the next books myself.
01:12:22A monkey could write that trash!
01:12:24Get up!
01:12:34Baby!
01:12:35Baby!
01:12:35Get up!
01:12:42Don't worry about Giselle.
01:12:44I will get you a new publishing deal.
01:12:47You just have to trust me.
01:12:50Do you trust me?
01:12:54I love you, Lisa.
01:13:07I'm happy to present the author formerly known as Heidi Brushfire,
01:13:13reading from her first novel under her real name,
01:13:17which has already topped the New York Times bestseller list.
01:13:20Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa Brown!
01:13:24I sat at my laptop in PJs,
01:13:34writing a sex scene between a werewolf king and an elven princess.
01:13:39When the phone rang,
01:13:40little did I know my life was about to change forever.
01:13:44I love the book.
01:13:53Why did you decide to publish under your own name?
01:13:55My boyfriend was very encouraging.
01:13:58Some of you might know MK Roth.
01:14:01Aww!
01:14:02Max started his own publishing company after some bad industry experiences.
01:14:07His next book's coming out later this year.
01:14:14So, you didn't write the new Elven Lust book?
01:14:17It totally sucks.
01:14:19The Heidi Brushfire name belongs to my old publisher.
01:14:21I heard the CEO writes the books herself now.
01:14:24Guess she must have plenty of time now that she's bankrupt.
01:14:29I have a question.
01:14:31When are you and Max getting married?
01:14:33He let you put out this sexy book all about how you met.
01:14:36How about a happy ending?
01:14:38Mom!
01:14:38Actually,
01:14:41I can answer that.
01:14:52I've never really been a public person,
01:14:55but Lisa broke me out of that shell.
01:15:00Speaking of which...
01:15:02Lisa Brown,
01:15:11will you marry me?
01:15:15Yes.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:16Yes.
01:15:16Yes!
