00:00:00On an average weekday, the New York City subway carries roughly 4 million people.
00:00:21That's 4 million trips on over 6,000 train cars through 423 stations.
00:00:27With all those variables, no two journeys are ever the same, and missing that important connection is all too common.
00:00:36But finding someone, a real connection against those odds, do we leave it up to fate?
00:00:46Or try harder?
00:00:50I know banana and chili doesn't sound right, but trust me.
00:00:59I so love that you want to share, but we have to finish this conversation.
00:01:03What, about how amazing we are together?
00:01:05I mean, I know I think that you are.
00:01:08Well, obviously, yes, you know.
00:01:11I think you're amazing, but that's not what we're talking about.
00:01:14Mmm.
00:01:15See?
00:01:16Mmm.
00:01:17Sweet and spicy, just like you, Emma.
00:01:18Oh wow, that's really good.
00:01:20Leo, I love you, but you have to stop procrastinating.
00:01:24That's just part of my process.
00:01:25Yeah, and a part of my process is making sure you meet your deadline.
00:01:28I thought we were friends.
00:01:29We are.
00:01:30And at one point we were more than that.
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33Mm-hmm.
00:01:34Well, that's way before I was a gallerist telling you to hurry up.
00:01:37We can't have a blank space on the wall at our opening, and that's what we're gonna have
00:01:42if you don't get to work and finish your pieces.
00:01:44Ah, two out of three are already done.
00:01:46That's a gift to everyone.
00:01:49Okay, I bet the fabulous Friedrich won't even notice.
00:01:52No, probably not, but he hired me to run his pet project.
00:01:54You mean his entire gallery.
00:01:56Yes, while he's gone, and I intend to make it great.
00:01:59The opening's on the 18th.
00:02:02Okay, so get to work.
00:02:04Because Friedrich asked me to check out another artist who I bet could replace you for the opening
00:02:10if you don't finish in time.
00:02:12Yes, boss.
00:02:13But no more pastries for you.
00:02:15Oh.
00:02:17Mmm.
00:02:22Intensely focused.
00:02:23That's what I noticed about you from day one, Maya.
00:02:25You see something you want?
00:02:26You can go get it.
00:02:27Kinda have to when you're an investment banker.
00:02:29But likewise, Conrad, that's why we make such a great team.
00:02:33We've helped a lot of companies with their IPO.
00:02:35We make a great team outside of the office, too.
00:02:39Yeah, about that.
00:02:40Um...
00:02:41Look, I know we deal with hard numbers all day.
00:02:43Studying them, analyzing them.
00:02:46But when it comes to...
00:02:48Love and relationships, I feel like it should be more...
00:02:52Instant.
00:02:54Don't you?
00:02:55Which part?
00:02:56The connection.
00:02:57I just feel like we should be connecting on a much deeper level by now.
00:02:59You're talking about love?
00:03:01It's been four weeks.
00:03:03Exactly.
00:03:04That's nothing.
00:03:06My parents met in line at a bagel shop by the time they got to the cream cheese.
00:03:09They knew.
00:03:10That was it.
00:03:11We've been happily married ever since.
00:03:12So that's what you're looking for?
00:03:14Some sort of lightning bolt situation?
00:03:16I think you kind of need it.
00:03:18Don't you?
00:03:20Let's go the distance?
00:03:21Then why did you wait this long to say anything?
00:03:24I just was hoping to be proven wrong.
00:03:28Look, Maya, you know I think you're great.
00:03:30That's irrefutable.
00:03:32As for all the other stuff...
00:03:34Good luck with the bagels.
00:03:36Okay.
00:03:45I cannot believe he's behind again.
00:03:47Like there's no pressure.
00:03:48I mean, does he know how many artists there are in New York City?
00:03:51Hmm...
00:03:5217,852.
00:03:56That was rhetorical, Hazel, but...
00:03:57Yeah.
00:03:58Yeah, I think I'd buy that.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00It's just...
00:04:01It's like he thinks he's doing us a favor by showing up at all.
00:04:03His ego knows no bounds.
00:04:04Right, and somehow you still dated him?
00:04:06For like a hot minute.
00:04:07And only because he has excellent taste.
00:04:10Oh, right. What? In art?
00:04:11In everything.
00:04:12In music, food, clothes.
00:04:14Yeah, he clearly knows it.
00:04:15Yeah, and that unfortunately is my dating pool.
00:04:17Fun to be around, but nothing deeper.
00:04:19Right. Flaky artist.
00:04:20The best humanity has to offer.
00:04:22And we wonder why I'm still single at 34.
00:04:25Aren't you 35?
00:04:26Oh, I think you said I was rounding down.
00:04:28That's what brothers-in-law are for.
00:04:31Babe, sometimes you just don't need to say things.
00:04:33Noted for next time.
00:04:34Okay, I'm 35 still young.
00:04:36Not as young as me.
00:04:37Ooh.
00:04:38I so love sharing this tiny apartment with you guys.
00:04:41By the way our health search is going, I'm gonna ignore that sarcasm and take it at face value.
00:04:45Anyways, I'm just saying you have time, right?
00:04:47You already have a job that you love.
00:04:48I do.
00:04:50And I so wish that was enough.
00:04:52But we only get one go around, right?
00:04:54And I want to experience all the things.
00:04:56Marriage, kids, art on the fridge, as well as art on the walls.
00:04:59Okay, well then you need to find a different pool to paddle in.
00:05:03I just want to find someone who's stable.
00:05:06Like, early 30s, a real go-getter, maybe an early riser, and a solid profession.
00:05:12Okay, I love the specificity, but I'm pretty sure you're not gonna meet that guy at Coffee Bros at 11am.
00:05:18More like you'd have to commute through the financial district to meet that guy.
00:05:22Okay, wait.
00:05:24That is, like, a genius idea.
00:05:26A gentleman in finance.
00:05:27It takes, like, all the boxes.
00:05:30Wait, so I had a good idea?
00:05:32Huh, that's interesting.
00:05:33Tell me more.
00:05:35Let's brainstorm.
00:05:36You hate online dating.
00:05:37Yeah.
00:05:38So does everybody, you start and end work super late.
00:05:41So, commuting before trading hours is genius.
00:05:43Oh, wait.
00:05:44Are we talking about the morning commute?
00:05:46That's not gonna be the evening.
00:05:48Hey, you have always been a go-getter with your work.
00:05:51Why not with this?
00:05:53Okay, wait.
00:05:54You mean, like, make this right time, right place thing happen for myself?
00:05:58It's time to take control of your destiny.
00:06:01Exactly how early does this morning commute start?
00:06:13Do I think it's too much to ask everyone to clear their schedules for a long weekend?
00:06:16No.
00:06:17Not if the opportunity in Tokyo is real.
00:06:19EY Global has left their entire New York schedule open to be wined and dined by us.
00:06:24So, yeah.
00:06:25The opportunity is real, which is why I need you here.
00:06:28So we can iron out specifics.
00:06:30Heard, Lance.
00:06:31It's only 6.45.
00:06:32I'm on my way.
00:06:34Attaboy.
00:06:35This is the Uptown branchbound train.
00:06:48Next stop, City High.
00:06:52This is the Downtown Brooklyn-bound train.
00:06:53Next stop, City High.
00:07:28This is yours, isn't it?
00:07:43I can't believe you found that.
00:07:46Dumas is my favorite author, and this is his best.
00:07:50In your opinion?
00:07:52All human wisdom is contained in these two words.
00:07:56Wait and hope.
00:07:58That's beautiful.
00:08:04Let me know when you finish it.
00:08:12Yeah, my pleasure.
00:08:13Oh, I'm so sorry. I did not see you there.
00:08:40It's okay. Oh, no. That's okay. You know what? It's hard when I'm below the armpits.
00:08:44Yeah, I'm annoyingly tall.
00:08:45No, not even.
00:08:46Here, have my shirt. I'll just...
00:08:48The one you're wearing?
00:08:49Yeah, I have a t-shirt underneath, so...
00:08:51Don't worry about it. It's really okay. You know what? You're not my size anyway.
00:08:53It's fine. It's fine. It looks a little bit like splatter paint art.
00:08:57Yeah, I mean, it's very Jackson Pollock.
00:09:01Yes, it is.
00:09:03Could have been worse. He could have spilled it on my book.
00:09:05Well, you... You don't have a book.
00:09:08Oh, no, I do. I do. And it's very interesting. It's just too hard to read down here.
00:09:12Is that a line?
00:09:24Maybe.
00:09:29Excuse me.
00:09:34Hey.
00:09:36Hey.
00:09:37Again?
00:09:40Did I drop something else?
00:09:42No, no. Not that I saw.
00:09:46Well, thank you. Again.
00:09:53Oh, your ring. It's... super unusual.
00:09:58As in hideous or beautiful?
00:10:00Well, I'm not sure I'm qualified to assess, but...
00:10:02Next stop, Canal Street.
00:10:04I'd say eye-catching.
00:10:06You didn't answer the question.
00:10:09Tripping over my words. Cool.
00:10:10It's from a Japanese artist I've followed for years.
00:10:14If you like this, you should check out his opening.
00:10:17He's only in town for a month, but...
00:10:19Preview's today.
00:10:20Is that where you're headed?
00:10:21Let's pretend it's one of those gimmicky restaurants where you, uh, we eat in the dark.
00:10:34Yeah, yeah. Okay, good idea.
00:10:36What do I have?
00:10:38I can offer you some t-shirt coffee.
00:10:40Oh, wow.
00:10:42I'm funny.
00:10:43Yes.
00:10:43Yes, I am.
00:10:47Does this artist of yours have any tips on dealing with in-dark experiences?
00:10:51Uh, I think he would say...
00:10:54Everything is art.
00:10:56Just like everything is copy.
00:10:58So, basically, we should just embrace this.
00:11:01Apparently so.
00:11:13Sorry about that, folks.
00:11:15Uh, we're up and running now.
00:11:16Next stop, Canal Street.
00:11:18Okay, okay.
00:11:19That's a relief.
00:11:21Glad you're here to protect me.
00:11:23Likewise.
00:11:24Likewise.
00:11:25Just stop.
00:11:26Canal Street.
00:11:28This is me.
00:11:28This is my stop.
00:11:34Oh.
00:11:36Sorry about the shirt.
00:11:37Oh, no, it's okay.
00:11:38Stand clear for closing doors, please.
00:11:42What's your name?
00:11:43Hi.
00:11:50Stand clear for closing doors, please.
00:11:58All the meetings will be created by the Taste Club, ending at a night at the Grand Oak Steakhouse.
00:12:12Champagne with a view.
00:12:14Anything else I'm forgetting?
00:12:15Uh, no.
00:12:16Just a quick clarification question from this morning's meeting.
00:12:19Gucci boots on the ground.
00:12:20That was your rallying speech to the team for closing this deal?
00:12:22Mm-hmm.
00:12:23Pretty sure you're the only one who wears Gucci.
00:12:26A, not true.
00:12:27B, you still need to give me your plus one.
00:12:29So I think you should focus on that, not my footwear.
00:12:31Do you have a plus one or not?
00:12:33I do.
00:12:34What's her name?
00:12:36That is a very good question.
00:12:37We met on the subway during the blackout.
00:12:38You didn't get her number?
00:12:40Email?
00:12:41Socials?
00:12:42Anything?
00:12:42There was a lot going on, but I definitely think we'll meet again.
00:12:45How?
00:12:46Eight million people live here.
00:12:48Probably more than that.
00:12:49You're just gonna let fate do its thing?
00:12:53Again.
00:12:55You've become modern-age lazy, you know that?
00:12:58Just put an ad in the City Express's misconnection column.
00:13:02That feels made up.
00:13:04Don't tell me you never grabbed the Free City Express.
00:13:06They practically shoved them in your bag when you hit the escalator.
00:13:09Politely, yes, but I never actually read it.
00:13:11So, what are the chances of her reading it?
00:13:14Uh, way better than you just bumping into her again.
00:13:17But I've got another meeting to attend to, so feel free to make lots of money here while
00:13:24I make lots of money there.
00:13:25So what I'm hearing is that the juice was worth the squeeze.
00:13:34Yeah, he was sweet and chatty, especially for how early it was.
00:13:38And then the whole blackout on the train thing happened.
00:13:42Was it on the 6th?
00:13:43Yes!
00:13:44The whole line was dark for a couple of minutes.
00:13:46Okay, then what happened?
00:13:48He disappeared.
00:13:50Oh.
00:13:51Yeah, everyone was on edge and rushing to get out, and I lost him.
00:13:55And I will probably never see him again.
00:13:57Which is fine, because I know absolutely nothing about him.
00:14:00So I am moving on and staying intentional.
00:14:04Okay.
00:14:05To intention.
00:14:07To intention.
00:14:08To intention.
00:14:09Intention.
00:14:14Okay, 25 to 50 words.
00:14:17This isn't poetry.
00:14:20To the one who dropped her book.
00:14:26No.
00:14:27No, no, no.
00:14:31To the cute brunette.
00:14:34On the proxbound 6th train.
00:14:42We talked art and books before the blackout cut us off.
00:14:50I would love to see where this goes.
00:14:56Submit.
00:14:58Okay.
00:14:59I can't believe there were six ads because of the blackout.
00:15:13But they're kind of cute.
00:15:15I mean, listen to this one.
00:15:17To the cute brunette on the proxbound 6th train,
00:15:20we talked art and books before the blackout cut us off.
00:15:23I would love to see where it goes.
00:15:25Who talks about art and books at 7am?
00:15:33Do you mind?
00:15:34Yeah?
00:15:39Cute brunette.
00:15:43Can you imagine putting an ad in the newspaper?
00:15:46I mean, come on.
00:15:47Do you really think you could find someone that way?
00:15:49That was fast.
00:16:17Was it right about the book?
00:16:18You mean the one you never saw?
00:16:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:25You're not who I was expecting.
00:16:27Oh, likewise.
00:16:29But I appreciate you coming.
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31Yeah.
00:16:32Normally, I never would have.
00:16:33But I just...
00:16:34I had to see.
00:16:37Yeah.
00:16:37I can imagine that blackout was pretty unusual.
00:16:40Or special.
00:16:42If you're looking for that kismet kind of thing.
00:16:44Oh, no.
00:16:45I'm not.
00:16:46I'm just looking to make better choices.
00:16:48So, more intentional choices.
00:16:50Being.
00:16:52I'm Conrad, by the way.
00:16:53Can I say it?
00:16:54Please.
00:16:55Yes.
00:16:55I'm Emma.
00:16:55Hi.
00:16:58Being.
00:16:59Just being open to more responsible partners.
00:17:03You know, kind, funny, wants a family.
00:17:05Perhaps in finance, because I don't know.
00:17:07I just feel like that sounds responsible.
00:17:10Well, you're giving us too much credit.
00:17:13You're in finance?
00:17:14I'm guilty.
00:17:15Looking for a mystery woman who happens to love the same book I love.
00:17:18What book?
00:17:19The Count of Monte Cristo.
00:17:21I've never read it.
00:17:22Well, aside from the book, what do you know about her?
00:17:26Just where she was going, roughly.
00:17:28To see some artists she follows.
00:17:30Oh, that's delightfully vague.
00:17:31Well, she had this beautiful ring on with a giant green stone.
00:17:35Okay, that's better.
00:17:36She was going to his preview.
00:17:38And that the artist was Japanese.
00:17:41Um, is it jewelry and sculpture, by chance?
00:17:44I don't know.
00:17:45Maybe.
00:17:46Why?
00:17:46Well, my boss just asked me to check out this new Japanese art collective.
00:17:50I'm a gallerist, so I might be able to help you find her.
00:17:54Or at least the show.
00:17:55That's great.
00:17:56But why would you?
00:17:57I feel like I've already wasted enough of your time here.
00:17:59I don't know.
00:18:00I think I feel a little badly that I wasn't the one.
00:18:03That's not your fault.
00:18:04I mean...
00:18:04And you seem really nice.
00:18:07And I think it will give me hope for my own situation if you're able to find her.
00:18:11Well, maybe it's meant to be, then.
00:18:13Us meeting here to help each other find the one.
00:18:15I mean, if you're looking for a solid guy in finance, I know plenty of those.
00:18:18And I came here looking for my lightning bolt.
00:18:22Your lightning bolt.
00:18:24All right, well, just stay away from open spaces.
00:18:26You know, for, um, safety reasons.
00:18:32So, where do we start?
00:18:34Why don't we meet back up on Sunday?
00:18:37Make a plan then, when we're both not working?
00:18:39Yeah, here.
00:18:40Put your number in my phone.
00:18:41Um, 8 a.m.?
00:18:43Um, how about 11?
00:18:479.30?
00:18:47All right, but only if there's coffee.
00:18:50I will meet you at 9.30 a.m. sharp.
00:18:55Ish.
00:18:57Ish?
00:18:58Yeah.
00:18:59You know there's no ish in finance, right?
00:19:01Yeah, but plenty on the weekend if you do it right.
00:19:04I'll still see you at 9.30.
00:19:05And I will be not far behind you.
00:19:08You want me to divulge personal information?
00:19:15No, just a quick list of names of my clients that keep these lights on.
00:19:20Georgia, I'm not asking for bank statements here.
00:19:22I'm just trying to help out a friend.
00:19:24Well, your friend is out of luck.
00:19:27There was a guest list, and again, it's private.
00:19:29Are you sure?
00:19:30Are you sure?
00:19:33Yes.
00:19:35Oh, wow.
00:19:37To God, his rings are to life, aren't they?
00:19:39Yeah, they're gorgeous.
00:19:43We had a strong social presence here the other night.
00:19:46I'm sure you can find your girl that way.
00:20:00Yay, you are, you are up.
00:20:19Yeah.
00:20:20You guys were up right and early for a Saturday.
00:20:22Where'd you go?
00:20:23Not telling.
00:20:24Why?
00:20:25Because I promised I'd wait for a seat.
00:20:28Oh, my gosh.
00:20:28You're pregnant, aren't you?
00:20:29I'm going to be an aunt.
00:20:30Okay, I'm not saying, but, no.
00:20:32Can we just, can we just.
00:20:33Oh, you're cruel.
00:20:34Can we just stop?
00:20:34Okay, and you're going to have to find a new spot for all your stuff,
00:20:37because it's getting real squeezy on the cabinet.
00:20:40Do you want to come in and try this?
00:20:41Because it's a great stress release.
00:20:43What?
00:20:44Why are you stressed?
00:20:45I thought you were excited.
00:20:46No, I am.
00:20:47I am.
00:20:47Okay, am I right?
00:20:48If I'm right, why do you have bubbles?
00:20:51Because I told you I'm not pregnant.
00:20:52What?
00:20:53What?
00:20:53No, no, too soon.
00:20:55But we did win the lottery.
00:20:58What?
00:20:59What?
00:21:00Housing or Powerball?
00:21:01Housing.
00:21:02And Emma, it's this super cute apartment on the Upper West Side.
00:21:06Amazing.
00:21:06That's amazing.
00:21:07I know.
00:21:07That's amazing.
00:21:08Congratulations.
00:21:09Oh, I'm so happy for you.
00:21:12Okay.
00:21:13So, when does this happen?
00:21:14When do you move?
00:21:14What's the timeline?
00:21:17Like, now.
00:21:21Oh.
00:21:21Sort of one of the conditions.
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:26This is...
00:21:27This is so great.
00:21:29Now is very soon.
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:30Um, sorry.
00:21:32This is just less, um, notice than I was expecting.
00:21:34No, no, I, uh, yeah.
00:21:35Um, but we, we, we're totally gonna help you find a new place or roommate.
00:21:40No, this is so fine.
00:21:41This is great.
00:21:43This is not about me.
00:21:43It's about you.
00:21:44I'm so happy for you.
00:21:45Let's pop those bubbles.
00:21:46I'm gonna grab the glasses.
00:21:47Now, pop the bottle.
00:21:51Yeah.
00:21:52Hey, can you give me a boost?
00:21:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:58All right, thank you very much.
00:21:59Good day.
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:02Americano with a double shot of espresso.
00:22:04Oh, yeah, that should do it.
00:22:07Oh, so, dark gray really is the financial uniform of the weekends, huh?
00:22:12Huh.
00:22:13I hadn't noticed, but personally, I own a lot of dark gray workout gear.
00:22:16A person for traveling hides everything.
00:22:17Oh, you travel a lot?
00:22:19Yeah, ever since I was a kid.
00:22:20My parents were big on experiences over gifts, stamps and passports over stocking stuffers,
00:22:24that kind of thing.
00:22:25Same.
00:22:26Yeah, except we didn't get stamps for camping.
00:22:28Just a lot of river rafting, hiking, the occasional poison ivy.
00:22:31Oh, well, we gotta hook you up with a passport for national parks.
00:22:35That exists.
00:22:36Yeah, yeah, you get a stamp for each visit.
00:22:39Okay, just so I know your type.
00:22:42Gym rat or mountain biker?
00:22:44Biker, for sure.
00:22:46Cook or expert order?
00:22:50I don't know.
00:22:51You know, okay, despite what it sounded like earlier, I don't really have a long list of
00:22:55requirements.
00:22:56I just want to meet a kind, responsible guy who wants the same things I do.
00:23:01You know, a family, travel, just a partner in this life who may or may not also love to
00:23:08cook.
00:23:08Got it.
00:23:10I'll scan my Rolodex.
00:23:11Your Rolodex?
00:23:13Do you work on Wall Street in the 80s?
00:23:15I had no idea.
00:23:16Metaphorical.
00:23:17I just thought you'd fall asleep if I told you I'd scan the address book of my secure
00:23:20internal messaging system.
00:23:21Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:23:24I just, I, were you talking?
00:23:25Well played.
00:23:26Say something.
00:23:26Well played.
00:23:26So, any luck with the guest list?
00:23:32No, but I'm doing a little online recon.
00:23:35I'm putting together my own list of gallery attendees for you to go through.
00:23:39But, um...
00:23:40But what?
00:23:41I'm just so curious.
00:23:43What is it about this one girl?
00:23:44I mean, there are like a million gorgeous girls out here who look like they could be your
00:23:48type.
00:23:49My type?
00:23:50What would that be?
00:23:52Oh, I don't know.
00:23:52Like, high achieving, put together academically decorated women who also happen to be perfect
00:23:58or close to.
00:24:00You could have just said perfect, but nailed it.
00:24:02I'm so glad to hear you're rooted in reality.
00:24:05You want to sit?
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:07Yeah.
00:24:07No, but in all seriousness, my work life is all about numbers.
00:24:15So, when it comes to love and finding the one, I've chosen to take the gut route.
00:24:19Love at first sight.
00:24:22Might sound cheesy, but yeah.
00:24:24You?
00:24:26No, no, no, no.
00:24:28Been there, done that.
00:24:29Doesn't really work out for me.
00:24:31And that's why I'm trying this practical approach.
00:24:33I mean, yes, the love will have to be there.
00:24:35Absolutely.
00:24:36But there are other qualities that have to be there first.
00:24:39So, I'm just, I'm looking for those first.
00:24:42Oh.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:44What about him?
00:24:46Oh, he's too bro-ish.
00:24:49What about him?
00:24:51Stop.
00:24:53He sounds funny.
00:24:55What about him?
00:24:56Dark Ray, my soulmate!
00:24:58Oh, fine.
00:24:59Okay, okay, okay.
00:25:00I just need to figure out who I know or work with that's single.
00:25:04You don't know offhand?
00:25:05Well, guys don't usually talk about that stuff.
00:25:08Well, I'm glad you didn't leave with that when you were offering to help me.
00:25:12Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get a step, okay?
00:25:14Same, same, same.
00:25:16Oh, I think I'm finally starting to wake up.
00:25:19Starting to wake up?
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:20It's almost 10.30.
00:25:22And?
00:25:23Well, if you really want to couple up with a guy in finance, you should at least figure out if you like the early hours.
00:25:27Oh, no, I don't.
00:25:30But that's only because my work life tends to start after the sun goes down.
00:25:34Huh.
00:25:35Well, before I set you up with any co-workers, why don't you try some early morning activities first?
00:25:41See if you can hang.
00:25:42That's actually not a bad idea.
00:25:43Why, thank you.
00:25:44Yeah.
00:25:45And you know what?
00:25:45If your girl's in the art world...
00:25:47Well, we don't know that for sure.
00:25:47Yeah, but it's a possibility.
00:25:49You might want to learn a smidge more about art.
00:25:53Or maybe lose the preppy jacket.
00:25:55Preppy jacket?
00:25:56It was a gift.
00:25:58Like, from a client?
00:25:59That I only wear when exercising.
00:26:02All right.
00:26:02All right, that's fine.
00:26:04Anything else?
00:26:05No.
00:26:08I have a new show on.
00:26:09So why don't you come by the gallery tomorrow after work and check it out?
00:26:12You know, to get you started.
00:26:13On art.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15Yeah, I'd like that.
00:26:17Great.
00:26:18How about him?
00:26:21Eh.
00:26:21So this is it.
00:26:30Hey, cool clock.
00:26:33This was a gift from a client from South America.
00:26:35Oh.
00:26:36So, this is where you spend your days.
00:26:39Mm-hmm.
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:41Yeah, be careful.
00:26:42Or you might be going home with a pig drinking a martini.
00:26:45Didn't catch my eye, and I have a lot of blank walls.
00:26:47Oh, well, we can fix that.
00:26:48You know, art is not just material.
00:26:51It can hold emotion.
00:26:53It can unlock memories.
00:26:54Or just be a great conversation piece.
00:26:57Like Martini Pig.
00:26:58Like Martini Pig.
00:26:59Hmm.
00:27:00So, this is what you do, huh?
00:27:02For work, you put all this together?
00:27:03Yeah, basically.
00:27:04Let me guess.
00:27:06Art history major?
00:27:08Business.
00:27:09Mm-hmm.
00:27:09But both my parents were artists, so I've been in this world forever.
00:27:12You ever try your hand at it?
00:27:13Mm.
00:27:13That's fine art.
00:27:14I did.
00:27:14I did.
00:27:14I did skip a generation.
00:27:16I just, I've seen enough highs and lows to know that I should not ask for that type of rejection.
00:27:20Hmm.
00:27:21Never know.
00:27:21Could have been a series of yeses.
00:27:22Not in my experience, but moving on, no.
00:27:26No, no, no, no.
00:27:27Bye.
00:27:28Emma.
00:27:29Oh.
00:27:30Brett.
00:27:31Hi.
00:27:33You look great.
00:27:34Oh.
00:27:34Like you've really embraced this whole self-care glow-up thing.
00:27:37Mm-hmm.
00:27:39But I'm just showing my client some of my work.
00:27:41Wow.
00:27:42Thank you so much for being here.
00:27:43I hope you enjoy the show.
00:27:45I'm just showing my client here some landscapes, so we're gonna head that way, but it was great
00:27:50to see you.
00:27:50It was great seeing you.
00:27:51Well, you know where to find me.
00:27:54I do.
00:27:57You dated him, didn't you?
00:27:59It's a very small industry.
00:28:01Get the pivot to finance now.
00:28:03Solid move.
00:28:04Just keep walking.
00:28:05You're the way, boss.
00:28:07Ah.
00:28:07Is this what you wanted to show me, or is this the furthest point away from Brett?
00:28:18But I do really love this piece.
00:28:20It reminds me of camping as a kid.
00:28:22Hmm.
00:28:23Not sure you got that, because I don't see any s'mores.
00:28:26What do you think?
00:28:27Uh, not a whole lot of strong thoughts either way on this one.
00:28:32Hmm.
00:28:36But this one.
00:28:42Hmm.
00:28:43Jesse Mickey.
00:28:45Beautiful.
00:28:46I love his work.
00:28:47I just like how all the pieces are broken, but when you look closer, they're connected.
00:28:57Hanging on.
00:28:58That's a good observation.
00:29:08That's later than I've been out in ages, so.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:11Well, you now know more about the New York art scene than half the people in the city, so if you meet her...
00:29:16You mean when?
00:29:17You will have an instant point of conversation that will be genuine.
00:29:20And I think that's all anybody wants.
00:29:50Okay.
00:30:03Oh, my gosh.
00:30:04Oh, I'm sorry.
00:30:06I'm sorry.
00:30:07Emma?
00:30:08What are you doing?
00:30:09I'm so sorry.
00:30:09Where are you going?
00:30:11Are you going to hit me with that?
00:30:12It is heavy.
00:30:14All right.
00:30:15Fair.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:17I gotta go.
00:30:18I love you.
00:30:20In their Ginza office, they'd want you in an advisory role until they go public.
00:30:26Are we talking a long-term relocation in Tokyo or a promotion here?
00:30:29Let's see how the visit goes.
00:30:31Got it.
00:30:33You realize we're running here, right?
00:30:35Not the Arctic?
00:30:36This jogger's a little tight on you.
00:30:38I made you look.
00:30:40Are we five?
00:30:41Five plus 30.
00:30:42Were you on a work call just now?
00:30:44Yeah, just warming up my vocal cords for a run.
00:30:47You excited?
00:30:48I'm ecstatic.
00:30:49Let's not call it a run, though.
00:30:50I'm more of a soft jog.
00:30:52Okay.
00:30:53Let's go.
00:30:54Aww.
00:30:58So, did I hear something about Tokyo?
00:31:00That's exciting.
00:31:01I've always wanted to go there.
00:31:02I mean, Mount Fuji, curry bread, Hello Kitty.
00:31:05Japan is a special place.
00:31:07Not sure I want to be there indefinitely, but very cool.
00:31:09Indefinitely is a long time.
00:31:10I'm used to it.
00:31:12Oh.
00:31:12So, you travel a lot for work, too.
00:31:14It's dating tricky.
00:31:15Our relationship tricky.
00:31:17Dating easy-ish.
00:31:18And it's in my 30s and single.
00:31:19That's my line.
00:31:20Ugh.
00:31:21Why am I already hot?
00:31:23I gotta take some of this off.
00:31:24Here.
00:31:24I, oh.
00:31:25Let me hold it.
00:31:26Thank you, thank you.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28You know, maybe dating is so hard because you're looking for a perfect unicorn.
00:31:32Oh, I never said that.
00:31:33Oh, you kind of did.
00:31:35I'm just looking to click with someone.
00:31:37Yeah, instantly.
00:31:38Not literally.
00:31:38It just shouldn't feel forced or hard that early on.
00:31:41That's all.
00:31:42Are there two sleeves on this?
00:31:43My ears.
00:31:45Yeah, I actually, I do agree with that.
00:31:48Huh.
00:31:49Why do I feel like that's a major win?
00:31:51Because it's very cold outside and the blood vessels in your head are constricting to conserve heat.
00:31:55You're not, you're not thinking clearly.
00:31:57Well, we better start running then.
00:31:58Stop jogging.
00:31:59Slow running.
00:32:08You know what?
00:32:08I have just been doing pottery for so long to de-stress that I never even contemplated running.
00:32:13Oh, now you call it that.
00:32:15This was fun.
00:32:17I mean, good.
00:32:18Like, it felt good for me.
00:32:19Yeah, you made the time go by a lot faster.
00:32:21And here I didn't think you could chat before 7 a.m.
00:32:24Wonders never cease.
00:32:26Want to sweat your back?
00:32:27Oh, yeah.
00:32:28Yes, thank you for holding it for me.
00:32:32Oh, thanks.
00:32:33There you go.
00:32:34And your scarf?
00:32:35Oh.
00:32:36Oh.
00:32:37Conrad, hey.
00:32:45I thought that was you.
00:32:46I've been hearing your name a lot around the office.
00:32:49Don't worry.
00:32:50All good things.
00:32:53Sorry to interrupt.
00:32:54Hi, sorry.
00:32:54I'm Aaron.
00:32:55Hi, I'm Emma.
00:32:56Hi.
00:32:56Emma lives not far from here, right?
00:32:59Uh, yeah, pretty close.
00:33:00Downtown Brooklyn.
00:33:01Yeah.
00:33:02Hey.
00:33:03And is a good friend of mine?
00:33:05Likewise.
00:33:06Well, I'm sure we'll see you at one of our many work events then.
00:33:11And I'll see you in 30 to talk deal pipeline, right?
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:13Sounds good.
00:33:14Good to meet you.
00:33:15Bye.
00:33:15Bye.
00:33:17Wow.
00:33:18You guys really just get after it.
00:33:19Oh.
00:33:21He was nice.
00:33:22Really?
00:33:22Just nice?
00:33:23All right, fine.
00:33:24He was cute.
00:33:25But is he single?
00:33:26Because that's the million dollar question.
00:33:27I have no idea.
00:33:29Oh, you're killing me.
00:33:30But I will find out.
00:33:31Okay.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:33Well, this was fun.
00:33:35I'm going to go soft jog in the direction of my home.
00:33:37We'll see you later.
00:33:39We'll see you.
00:33:39Bye.
00:33:55Okay, okay.
00:33:56I am amenable to this sound.
00:33:57As long as it means that you're making us breakfast, too.
00:33:59Good morning.
00:34:00Good morning.
00:34:01Yes, I have enough for all three of us.
00:34:02Sorry about the noise.
00:34:04That's fine.
00:34:04I mean, it looks like it was worth it.
00:34:05You've got this nice glow going on.
00:34:08Huh?
00:34:08Well, it was fun.
00:34:10And cold.
00:34:11And there was this cute guy.
00:34:15Conrad?
00:34:15No, but someone that Conrad works with.
00:34:18This sounds promising.
00:34:19Yeah, but we're not commenting on it yet.
00:34:22You're a superstitious lot?
00:34:24Yeah.
00:34:25Oh, speaking of superstitious, I have a viewing lined up, but it's apartment number 13.
00:34:29Okay.
00:34:30Do I still go?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:32And can I come with you?
00:34:33Yes, of course.
00:34:34As long as you tell me what you think about these beauties.
00:34:39It's like a moss color.
00:34:40Mmm.
00:34:45You can chew it.
00:34:47I know.
00:34:54Right there.
00:34:55Did you get my message?
00:35:08Yeah, that Aaron texted you to set up a happy hour?
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11Is that why you're calling?
00:35:13Oh, not exactly.
00:35:14I, uh, got another message from the City Express.
00:35:17Oh, wow.
00:35:19Oh, okay.
00:35:20So, do you think it's her?
00:35:22Yeah, well, it wasn't last time, but it kind of worked out.
00:35:26Yeah, well, I guess we'll find out real soon.
00:35:28Oh, are you going to see her right now?
00:35:30Yeah, with Tokyo coming in hot, it's now or never, right?
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:33Oh, yeah, that's exciting.
00:35:36Right.
00:35:38Both of us.
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:40Yeah, but you know what?
00:35:41We should keep our phones closed just in case, you know, it doesn't work out or if you need
00:35:45backup.
00:35:46You're already my favorites.
00:35:49Okay, sit.
00:35:51Since Hazel is stuck at school being the best teacher ever, you're up.
00:35:54What do I wear on my date?
00:35:55Oh, please don't make me do this.
00:35:57Come on.
00:35:58It's fun.
00:35:58You'll love it.
00:35:59Which top?
00:35:59Do I go with the one that says, I'm interesting, but not too quirky?
00:36:03Or the more girl-next-door look, even though this is New York City and we don't talk to
00:36:08our neighbors unless there's a fire?
00:36:10The one on the right?
00:36:12Oh, the one that says, I'm fun and I like to read.
00:36:18But do I look good in yellow?
00:36:20We both know I don't.
00:36:21This washes me out.
00:36:22This is a trap.
00:36:23Dad, no, we're family.
00:36:24You can say anything to me.
00:36:25Okay, then it doesn't matter what you wear.
00:36:27You're kind, you're beautiful, you're smart.
00:36:29So none of these.
00:36:36So, tell me, is there any fun gossip from the hospital?
00:36:39Two doctors from cardiology are getting a divorce.
00:36:42No.
00:36:42Why?
00:36:44I don't know.
00:36:46Like, did something happen?
00:36:48I didn't ask.
00:36:49What is it with men?
00:36:51Why are you not asking the important questions?
00:36:55Okay.
00:36:57I think it's this.
00:36:59Mmm.
00:36:59Yeah, that's the one.
00:37:00Right?
00:37:01Mm-hmm.
00:37:01Oh, yes, your cookies are so good.
00:37:04Okay, but just one.
00:37:04I'm bringing those to my parents later.
00:37:06Good.
00:37:06Please do not forget to text Hazel a full report when you get home.
00:37:08Will do.
00:37:10All right, well, break a leg.
00:37:12Have fun.
00:37:12Conrad?
00:37:26Valerie?
00:37:27Yes.
00:37:29But you're not who I met on the subway.
00:37:31Yeah, you're not who I met.
00:37:33It was a long shot.
00:37:35Agreed.
00:37:35But thank you for coming.
00:37:38Uh, do you want a coffee?
00:37:40I'm kind of only taking work off for the real deal.
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:44I get it.
00:37:45Well, good luck.
00:37:47Don't stop believing.
00:37:55Thanks.
00:37:56Oh, I just love anything French.
00:37:58The cheese, the wine, the countryside.
00:38:01Oh, my parents have a place in Cote d'Azur.
00:38:03Ah.
00:38:04Monte Carlo?
00:38:05Nice?
00:38:06Uh, St. Maxine, but a short drive from all that.
00:38:08Oh, gosh, and you haven't retired there yet.
00:38:11Well, I mean, there's the whole vesting period.
00:38:16And, you know, these are the true earning years of our lives before things start to slow down.
00:38:19So, I mean, why would I retire?
00:38:23Oh, I was just kidding.
00:38:25I was just making a joke.
00:38:27That's all that was, but it was not a very good one.
00:38:30No, no, it was good.
00:38:31Oh.
00:38:32But it's just like it's going to be a long slog to retirement, you know, so that's.
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Should we order?
00:38:41Yes.
00:38:42I know all the must-hows here.
00:38:43Wonderful.
00:38:50I'm so sorry.
00:38:51Um, would you excuse me a second?
00:38:53Oh, sure.
00:39:04How did you beat me here?
00:39:05Well, I'll always beat you because I'm not a soft jogger.
00:39:09Hmm.
00:39:10And it wasn't her.
00:39:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:15Yeah.
00:39:15How was your happy hour?
00:39:16It seemed short.
00:39:16Good.
00:39:18Fine.
00:39:19I don't know why I wore heels.
00:39:21You know, I don't wear heels anymore.
00:39:24They're very impractical.
00:39:25They're not me.
00:39:27You're unsure of his height?
00:39:28No.
00:39:29But that shouldn't matter.
00:39:30I mean, like you said, it's about the connection anyway.
00:39:32It is?
00:39:32Yeah, so I just, I don't know, heels were a bad call.
00:39:35Why are you so stuck on footwear?
00:39:36I don't know.
00:39:38I don't know.
00:39:38I think I'm just frustrated with, like, with myself.
00:39:43Aaron was great.
00:39:44He is great.
00:39:45But.
00:39:47Wasn't there?
00:39:48No.
00:39:49Oh.
00:39:49No, and I, I feel now I'm like I'm the bad guy.
00:39:52No, you're not the bad guy.
00:39:54You just might have to admit that the initial spark has to be there.
00:39:57Okay, maybe, maybe.
00:39:58Fine.
00:39:59But can we actually finish this conversation inside?
00:40:01Because I need slippers immediately.
00:40:04Want to get to meet your sister?
00:40:05No, she and Sid are having dinner at his parents' house.
00:40:08But I can offer you a nightcap.
00:40:10You had me at slippers.
00:40:11Gotta see those.
00:40:11Oh, yeah.
00:40:18Cute.
00:40:19Thanks.
00:40:20So, mind the mess, they're moving in less than a week.
00:40:24Any luck on finding the place?
00:40:26I do have a viewing lined up, but my landlord said that I could hang out and stay here until he finds new renters,
00:40:32so hopefully that'll buy me some time.
00:40:34Must be stressful.
00:40:36Yeah, it is, but he's surprisingly nice for a landlord.
00:40:40They get a bad rep.
00:40:40You can say the same about us bankers.
00:40:44All right, well, um, you're surprisingly nice for a banker.
00:40:48Hmm.
00:40:49I just don't want to rush it and settle.
00:40:52Are we talking an apartment or a guy?
00:40:56Just trying to find a good one.
00:40:59You deserve the best.
00:41:01For both.
00:41:06So, did you make all these?
00:41:08Mm-hmm.
00:41:09I thought you said you didn't do art.
00:41:10Well, not fine art.
00:41:12No, I mean, this is just everyday stuff.
00:41:14Oh.
00:41:15Oh.
00:41:16I love a good mug.
00:41:17Yeah?
00:41:17You can have that one.
00:41:19Really?
00:41:20Yeah.
00:41:21Sturdy.
00:41:22I like it.
00:41:24Now, speaking of fine art, maybe in the market for a new piece.
00:41:28Oh, really?
00:41:29Do you have something in mind already?
00:41:31Yeah.
00:41:32Yeah.
00:41:33Jesse and Mickey we looked at.
00:41:34Oh, the fractured landscape.
00:41:36It's gorgeous.
00:41:38I'm curious.
00:41:39Why that one?
00:41:40Uh, there's just something unbreakable in it that reminds me of my parents.
00:41:47Now they handled a really dark time.
00:41:49I mean, money can dampen things.
00:41:51Or, certainly complicate them.
00:41:55Especially when your parents lose everything in a Ponzi scheme run by a long-time friend.
00:42:01Oh, wow.
00:42:02That's terrible.
00:42:02I'm so sorry.
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:04Well, the hardest part was seeing the stress on my parents, but they managed to get through it.
00:42:15The world was rocked, but they held on.
00:42:18Hence the peace.
00:42:20Is that why you landed in the world of finance?
00:42:24Hmm.
00:42:27I guess I wanted to learn to control what I can.
00:42:33Hmm.
00:42:34So, how long have you been into pottery?
00:42:39You changing the subject?
00:42:41Maybe.
00:42:41A little bit.
00:42:44Have you ever done pottery?
00:42:45Maybe as a kid?
00:42:46Like, once?
00:42:47I think you should try it again.
00:42:49Just for like a couple of minutes.
00:42:51It's oddly therapeutic, and it's already set up.
00:42:59Fine.
00:43:01But if I break anything, it's on you.
00:43:03Deal.
00:43:04Deal.
00:43:06All right.
00:43:07This is your bucket of water.
00:43:08Go ahead and get your hands wet.
00:43:09I wet a lot?
00:43:10A lot.
00:43:10Don't be shy.
00:43:11The more water, the better, because that keeps the clay moving.
00:43:13Okay.
00:43:14And then right by your right foot, that's your pedal.
00:43:16Speed is your friend.
00:43:17You ready?
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:19Let's do it.
00:43:19All right.
00:43:20Turn it on.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:21Get a feel for it.
00:43:22Now you can start speeding it up.
00:43:23Okay.
00:43:23That's good.
00:43:24So, what we're going to do is center it.
00:43:25Go ahead and squeeze the sides really hard.
00:43:27Really, like, bring your body into it.
00:43:29Make it here.
00:43:29Perfect.
00:43:30Well, well, you know what?
00:43:31It's going to tell us what it is.
00:43:32Okay.
00:43:32That's right.
00:43:32Exactly.
00:43:33Do you mind if I actually come in?
00:43:34Yeah.
00:43:35Okay.
00:43:35Yeah.
00:43:35Okay, great.
00:43:36There we go.
00:43:37Now she's looking nice.
00:43:38That's starting to look like something.
00:43:39Hey, go ahead and put your hands around it.
00:43:41Okay.
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Am I helping?
00:43:42Am I just slowing you down?
00:43:44You're helping.
00:43:45Look what you're doing.
00:43:46Look at this.
00:43:46You're nailing it.
00:43:47You're right.
00:43:48Speed's good?
00:43:49Yeah, speed's great.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:51Okay.
00:43:52A little pressure on the sides.
00:43:54That's perfect.
00:43:55That's great.
00:43:55That's great.
00:43:55That's great.
00:43:56Like, too much?
00:43:57No.
00:43:58Okay, release it a little bit.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:00There.
00:44:01There it is.
00:44:02There it is.
00:44:03Perfect.
00:44:05You can take your foot off the pedal if you want to, because what you've got there is a one-of-a-kind bow.
00:44:09Oh.
00:44:10Is that what this is?
00:44:10Mm-hmm.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:11Yeah, if you just add a handle to it, you can upgrade it to a cup.
00:44:17Thanks for the lesson.
00:44:19You're welcome.
00:44:23It's past my bedtime, so I have an early meeting, too.
00:44:28It is your favorite excuse.
00:44:30Yeah, well...
00:44:31Okay, before you leave, I have one more thing for you.
00:44:40What's this?
00:44:41This is a list of 15 women who could be your lightning bolt.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:49Right.
00:44:49Thanks.
00:44:50You're welcome.
00:44:51Yeah, I gotta hold up my end of the bargain.
00:44:53And now I feel bad that I've got nothing for you.
00:44:55Wow, so far.
00:44:57Yeah.
00:44:58But I was over one with Aaron, so I'm off to a rocky start on the help front.
00:45:01Well, you know, if you really want to be helpful, you could save me from going solo to my little sister's moving out and in party Friday night.
00:45:10Oh.
00:45:10I see your list and I'll raise you a date.
00:45:15Indeed, that would be helpful.
00:45:17Well, most definitely.
00:45:20Good.
00:45:20Mm-hmm.
00:45:24Thanks for the mug.
00:45:25You're welcome.
00:45:30Have a good night.
00:45:31Hey, man.
00:45:49You top me up?
00:45:49Yeah, you got it.
00:45:51And thanks for the introduction, by the way.
00:45:53Yeah, I heard you guys went out.
00:45:55So you're just not into me then.
00:45:57What?
00:45:57No.
00:45:58Not in so many words.
00:45:59It's all good.
00:46:01I'm going to be traveling a lot for work in the next couple of months anyway, so it's probably for the best.
00:46:05Yeah.
00:46:06But then again, so are you.
00:46:08Considering I'm not dating anyone, it shouldn't be a problem.
00:46:10You sure about that?
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:12Okay, because people don't usually jog with just friends unless they're into them.
00:46:16Or they're training for a marathon.
00:46:18Are you?
00:46:20No.
00:46:21No marathon.
00:46:23Well, you might want to stop lying to yourself and do something about it.
00:46:27She's pretty great.
00:46:29Okay.
00:46:42Oh, no.
00:46:44Um, yeah, I think calling it an apartment is generous.
00:46:51Yeah, maybe that's why she just left the keys for us, because there's definitely not enough room for three.
00:46:58Check out that view.
00:46:59Wow.
00:47:00You, um, you could place one of your 50 mugs here.
00:47:0349.
00:47:03I gave one to Cunga.
00:47:04Okay, I can't believe that I missed meeting him the other day.
00:47:07I also can't believe that you asked him up for a nightcap.
00:47:10Why?
00:47:11It was innocent.
00:47:12And you're in luck.
00:47:12I invited him to come tonight.
00:47:13To, like, our party?
00:47:16Yeah, is that okay?
00:47:16Are you kidding me?
00:47:17Yes.
00:47:18I mean, you two have clearly been spending a lot of time together.
00:47:22You know why.
00:47:23Because you like him.
00:47:24No.
00:47:25Mm-hmm.
00:47:25And he ticks all of your boxes.
00:47:27Even if I did, he's, like, he's determined to find this one girl.
00:47:36Right, which is why he's been spending so much time with you instead of, um, pounding the pavement to actually find her.
00:47:42You think?
00:47:43Oh, my gosh.
00:47:44You're so much more book smart than me, but I'm really lapping you in the love department.
00:47:47Yes, it's, like, so obvious.
00:47:50How do I pivot?
00:47:51You stop talking about her, and you start talking about the two of you.
00:47:56Starting tonight.
00:47:58I can do that.
00:48:02No, there's no way that these life-sized puppets are making a move with us.
00:48:06Oh, you have life-sized puppets?
00:48:08Yes, and it was almost a deal break when we first met.
00:48:10Until she realized that I used it to trip the kids in the pediatric way.
00:48:14Oh, baby, even then, it was still a little touch and go.
00:48:17Look at you now.
00:48:18You're happy, you're married, you're getting your own apartment.
00:48:22Mm-hmm.
00:48:22Sans puppet.
00:48:25Fine, Emma.
00:48:26Mm-hmm.
00:48:27No, no, no, no, no.
00:48:28Do not look at me.
00:48:29Don't you do it.
00:48:30I'm not offering to adopt them.
00:48:32All right, well, who needs refills?
00:48:34Me.
00:48:34Me.
00:48:35Our treat.
00:48:35Yep.
00:48:35Oh, good.
00:48:36Yes.
00:48:36That's right.
00:48:37Refill.
00:48:37Okay.
00:48:37Yeah, but now.
00:48:38Oh, shoot.
00:48:41Oh.
00:48:42What?
00:48:42Nothing, I just, I offered to buy a round.
00:48:45I'll be right back.
00:48:45Okay, all right.
00:48:47Right.
00:48:48Mm-hmm.
00:48:50Oh, excuse me.
00:48:51Sorry, I want to buy their whole town this time, please.
00:48:54I'll be right back in each other.
00:48:55This place is amazing.
00:48:57Thank you so much for recommending it.
00:48:59I never thought.
00:49:00Sorry, excuse me.
00:49:01I don't mean to interrupt, but I was just noticing your ring, and is that in a Kiko Takata?
00:49:07You know him?
00:49:08Yes.
00:49:09Yes.
00:49:10Uh, just only recently.
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:13Wow, it's beautiful.
00:49:14I love the color.
00:49:16Mm-hmm.
00:49:23Anyway.
00:49:24What was I...
00:49:25Oh, yeah.
00:49:27Oh, yeah.
00:49:33Well, you know, I think if you need this one person, I'll be able to listen.
00:49:40You're welcome.
00:49:56For what?
00:49:57I just found your lightning bolt.
00:49:59Although her name is Simone, which I think is a lot classier.
00:50:05You found her.
00:50:06Yeah, I guess that's fate for you.
00:50:14Yeah.
00:50:15Yeah, yeah, I guess it is.
00:50:16Mm-hmm.
00:50:26You see the ring?
00:50:26This is the ring that I saw, right?
00:50:27Yeah, yeah.
00:50:31I mean, this is why we started this whole thing.
00:50:33Mm-hmm.
00:50:34It doesn't mean you have to like it.
00:50:39No, I'm happy.
00:50:41I'm happy because he's happy.
00:50:44Right, right?
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:45That's a very mature thing to say.
00:50:49Mm-hmm.
00:50:52I feel really stupid for crushing.
00:50:54Yeah, that's more like it.
00:50:56I mean, he is so hot.
00:50:59You're stuck.
00:51:00You're making it worse.
00:51:01No, no, no, I know we have to.
00:51:01Are you here with anybody, or?
00:51:04No.
00:51:04No?
00:51:04No?
00:51:05Well, I...
00:51:05Okay, I...
00:51:06This isn't helping.
00:51:07I don't want to have this conversation anymore.
00:51:09What?
00:51:10What convers...
00:51:11What conversation?
00:51:13I don't even know.
00:51:14Come here.
00:51:14Not me.
00:51:15I feel great.
00:51:15No, no, but I love you so much.
00:51:16I love you.
00:51:19Oh, I feel fine.
00:51:24Everything's fine.
00:51:24You sure you're up for something, this?
00:51:53Formal?
00:51:55It's a lot of suits and small talk.
00:52:00I'm pretty good at small talk, so I'm in.
00:52:04Great.
00:52:05I'll put you down as my plus one.
00:52:14Well, I don't know about you, but I think this is my best work yet.
00:52:18Yeah.
00:52:21Yeah, let's hope it translates to sales at the opening.
00:52:26So, everything okay with Friedrich?
00:52:29Oh, yeah.
00:52:30I think he's still in Germany.
00:52:32Why?
00:52:32Well, I don't know.
00:52:34You were so excited to put this whole show together, and you just sing a little flat.
00:52:41Shed with love.
00:52:43Oh, I'm fine.
00:52:45Fine.
00:52:45Okay.
00:52:46Well, that's the least convincing word in the dictionary.
00:52:49Boy troubles?
00:52:51I'm 35.
00:52:52Man troubles.
00:52:53That also sounds weird.
00:52:55Well, as someone who knows you really well, I'd just like to say, give him a chance.
00:53:00Who?
00:53:01I don't know, but, well, you can be a little judgy.
00:53:07Also said with love.
00:53:09I think the word you're looking for is selective.
00:53:11Okay, well, either way, a second or a third date might not hurt, even if the first one didn't go very well.
00:53:18Oh, excuse me.
00:53:26Got my glove.
00:53:29Have a nice day.
00:53:33Hey, there you are.
00:53:35Knee deep in work, I assume.
00:53:36Me?
00:53:37Yeah, no, Tokyo thing's just heating up.
00:53:39Oh, I assume you'll have to go?
00:53:41Yeah, I should know in the next day or two.
00:53:42That's exciting.
00:53:44Hey, I'd love to have a travel job.
00:53:46I mean, you get to eat sushi every day, even for breakfast.
00:53:50Uh, I wanted to let you know that I reached back out to Aaron.
00:53:54Oh, you did?
00:53:56Yeah, I don't think I gave him enough of a chance, so.
00:54:00Oh, I just thought you were a no from the get-go.
00:54:03Yeah, which may have been a little too quick to judge, so we're going out again.
00:54:08Ah, great.
00:54:10Yeah.
00:54:11Well, if it goes well, maybe we can double date.
00:54:14Yeah, fun.
00:54:16Okay.
00:54:24Looks like you're a Taurus sun, which means you love your creature comforts and are reliable,
00:54:30loyal, like you have bedrock.
00:54:32Does that make sense?
00:54:34Totally.
00:54:34And then your rising sun is Capricorn, obviously.
00:54:37It makes sense with your job in finance.
00:54:39Obviously.
00:54:40And a Pisces moon.
00:54:42No wonder you believe in fate.
00:54:43And your Venus is in Cancer.
00:54:50Is that bad?
00:54:51No, uh, no, it just means that family and the people that you love are very important
00:54:59to you.
00:55:00Well, that's true.
00:55:03What are you?
00:55:03Uh, I'm Sagittarius, Virgo moon, Virgo rising, which is funny because Sagittarius loves to
00:55:11travel, but I am terrified of planes.
00:55:14However, Virgos are perfectionists, and I know that it's annoying, but I do like things to
00:55:20be perfect.
00:55:22That's why I love architecture.
00:55:24Perfect lines, perfect corners.
00:55:26Oh, um, speaking of planes, it looks like I may be headed to Tokyo for work for at least
00:55:36a few weeks.
00:55:37Oh, that's cool.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:41You have to send me pictures, though.
00:55:43Okay.
00:55:44Oh, do you want to have my pizza?
00:55:45Yeah, I was hoping you'd say that.
00:55:48You see where the stars say you're so perfect?
00:55:50Oh, do they now?
00:55:51No pressure or anything.
00:55:52I don't get it.
00:56:00Why is there a giant road clock in here?
00:56:07Is this art?
00:56:09It's hopeful, isn't it?
00:56:16Kelly!
00:56:18Hi!
00:56:19What are we doing?
00:56:20He's helping me.
00:56:21And with your hair?
00:56:26I don't think we have some decisions, though.
00:56:30Oh.
00:56:32It's so exciting.
00:56:33It's so exciting.
00:56:35It's so exciting.
00:56:38I hope you are going to be happy.
00:56:42I hope you are going to be happy.
00:56:44I hope you're going to be happy.
00:56:46Thanks for having me.
00:56:47And with your hair?
00:56:49I hope you are going to be happy.
00:56:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:56:54Close it to you.
00:57:20Mm-hmm. Hi.
00:57:22Hey, just washed your mug.
00:57:24Holds up well in hot water.
00:57:25Well, I should hope so. It's made for hot liquids.
00:57:28Hey, any tips on what to wear or not to wear to the Grand Oak?
00:57:31Oh, you mean your fancy work dinner.
00:57:33Yeah, don't want to scare off my plus one.
00:57:37No stuffy suits for Lightning Bolt.
00:57:41Any chance you want to come with me?
00:57:46Um...
00:57:48Shopping.
00:57:50Sure.
00:57:54But you don't happen to shop at 7 a.m. too, do you?
00:57:57Yeah, if they're open.
00:58:03Have you been to the Grand Oak?
00:58:05The overpriced steakhouse in Midtown?
00:58:09It's on my list for a special occasion.
00:58:15Would you like to be my plus one?
00:58:17Fancy work event, but free.
00:58:18Conrad and Simone will be there.
00:58:23I can't say no to that.
00:58:31What are you doing?
00:58:33What are you doing?
00:58:38No!
00:58:40It's not a double date. It's a work dinner, right?
00:58:43We just happen to be going to the same event for the same company on the same night.
00:58:47Mm-hmm.
00:58:48Are you seated with each other?
00:58:50We may not even see each other.
00:58:51Yeah, that's totally probable and realistic.
00:58:54Dude!
00:58:55You're right.
00:58:56It's a terrible idea.
00:58:57Mm-hmm.
00:58:58You know what's even worse?
00:58:59We're going shopping for said event.
00:59:03With who?
00:59:05Conrad?
00:59:06Yeah.
00:59:07He asked me to go, and I said yes.
00:59:08And now I can't back out without it looking like I'm upset east with Simone.
00:59:12It's just fine. I guess I need a new dress anyway.
00:59:15Aren't you upset about the Simone thing?
00:59:17Honey, she's with Aaron.
00:59:18I'm trying to do it.
00:59:19Well, I'm going with Aaron.
00:59:20Shh.
00:59:21But...
00:59:22Ugh!
00:59:23All right.
00:59:24So, Saturday's your move out date, huh?
00:59:27Yeah.
00:59:28I know how sad you'll be.
00:59:31Guys, I'm actually getting really sad.
00:59:34I know.
00:59:37Me too.
00:59:40We are not...
00:59:41We are not talking about that, so...
00:59:43Okay.
00:59:44We're just getting...
00:59:45Not talking about it.
00:59:46Not talking about it.
00:59:52Hey.
00:59:53When's your birthday?
00:59:54June 30th.
00:59:55It's easy to remember because it's halfway through the year.
00:59:57Ah.
00:59:58So that makes you a...
01:00:01Cancer.
01:00:02Why?
01:00:03Just wondering.
01:00:04Oh, brother.
01:00:05You really sound like you're seeing someone new.
01:00:08Simone does like astrology.
01:00:09Mm-hmm.
01:00:10I can see that.
01:00:12So, where are we going?
01:00:13It's a bit of a secret.
01:00:14But my boss gets very hefty discounts at certain boutiques.
01:00:17All you have to do is say, Lance.
01:00:19Mm-hmm.
01:00:20Just Lance?
01:00:21There's no, like, wink or a special handshake?
01:00:23So I'm told.
01:00:24Okay.
01:00:25Are you allowed to be divulging this information to me?
01:00:27Oh.
01:00:28Only to our nearest and dearest.
01:00:29Ugh.
01:00:30Well, I'm touched.
01:00:31I'm glad.
01:00:33What if I wore a nice pantsuit?
01:00:35Oh.
01:00:36You'll look great in whatever you wear.
01:00:37Sounds like I should wear a dress.
01:00:39You should wear what makes you feel good.
01:00:41Sweats it is.
01:00:43Or at least something with pockets.
01:00:44Oh.
01:00:45I'd never consider buying pants without them.
01:00:47Right?
01:00:48It's a whole movement.
01:00:49All right.
01:00:50These look good.
01:00:51This should do it.
01:00:53Whoa.
01:00:54Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:00:55Nothing noteworthy is gonna come of wearing that.
01:00:58Wear...
01:00:59Uh...
01:01:00Okay.
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:03Try that.
01:01:04Not usually the colors I go with.
01:01:06Trust me.
01:01:09Okay.
01:01:10Wait.
01:01:11Aren't you gonna try them on?
01:01:12Oh, it'll fit.
01:01:13Well, the tie, sure.
01:01:14But...
01:01:15I'm not gonna try on all these dresses if you can't try on one shirt.
01:01:17What if the sleeves are too long?
01:01:19Oh.
01:01:20Unlikely.
01:01:21What if it's a little tight in the midsection?
01:01:22Could be a real slim fit.
01:01:23I think it'll be fine.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:32Okay.
01:01:33I'll try it on.
01:01:35Yeah.
01:01:41You coming out?
01:01:42Only if I like them.
01:01:44What number are you on?
01:01:45Three of three.
01:01:46You are clearly being way too hard on yourself and the dresses.
01:01:50Can you please just come out?
01:01:52Yeah.
01:01:57Wow.
01:01:58You look great.
01:01:59I told you!
01:02:00What about you?
01:02:01None of them worked?
01:02:02None of them had pockets.
01:02:03Oh.
01:02:04Oh, brother.
01:02:07Here we go.
01:02:08How is our lovely couple doing?
01:02:09Oh.
01:02:10We're...
01:02:11We're good.
01:02:12We're good.
01:02:13We're good.
01:02:14We're good.
01:02:15We're good.
01:02:16We're ready.
01:02:17I think we're ready to go.
01:02:18Agreed.
01:02:19Um...
01:02:20Lance.
01:02:21I'm sorry?
01:02:22Lance.
01:02:23Lance.
01:02:24Lance.
01:02:25Lance.
01:02:26Lance.
01:02:27Yeah.
01:02:28Are you new here or...?
01:02:29No.
01:02:30I'm gonna get my coat.
01:02:31Okay.
01:02:32Okay.
01:02:33Okay.
01:02:34Okay.
01:02:35Yeah.
01:02:36Are you new here or...?
01:02:38No.
01:02:39I'm gonna get my coat.
01:02:40Okay.
01:02:41Okay.
01:02:42Okay.
01:03:12Hello?
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:14Yeah.
01:03:15Yeah.
01:03:16Thanks.
01:03:17I'll be right down.
01:03:18Why do I feel like I need to have, like, a corsage for you?
01:03:35It's just dinner, not prom.
01:03:38You look so pretty.
01:03:40Well, thank you for lending me the dress.
01:03:43Yeah.
01:03:44This is, um, probably a really great time for me to tell you that I borrowed your new sweater.
01:03:49The blue one?
01:03:50Before I wore it.
01:03:51Yeah.
01:03:52But here?
01:03:53These have always brought me luck.
01:03:56Thank you, Miss Taylor.
01:03:58You're welcome.
01:04:07Okay, can you...?
01:04:09I just really hope you two aren't sitting together.
01:04:11It'll be fine.
01:04:12Yeah?
01:04:13Yeah, no matter what happens, it will be fine, because we're friends.
01:04:18However, I also really hope we're sitting at separate tables.
01:04:21Mm-hmm.
01:04:23Okay, that's me.
01:04:24Okay, um, have fun, and remember, not a double date.
01:04:30Not a double date.
01:04:31Not a double date.
01:04:32I'll get in.
01:04:33Yeah.
01:04:34Yeah, okay.
01:04:35Okay, yeah.
01:04:36Love you.
01:04:37Love you.
01:04:43Oh, I love this place.
01:04:45Thank you again for inviting me.
01:04:47Just hope you won't be bored.
01:04:49Don't be bored.
01:04:50How can I be?
01:04:52I'm with you.
01:04:53Emma!
01:04:54I love your dress.
01:04:55Oh!
01:04:57All it's missing is pockets.
01:04:58Hi.
01:04:59You must be Simone.
01:05:00I'm Erin.
01:05:01So lovely to meet you.
01:05:02Sorry.
01:05:03Emma, I love your dress.
01:05:15Oh, thank you.
01:05:17All it's missing is pockets.
01:05:21Hi, you must be Simone.
01:05:22I'm Erin.
01:05:23So lovely to meet you.
01:05:24Sorry.
01:05:26Oh, well, here we are.
01:05:28All of us.
01:05:29At the same time.
01:05:30Yay!
01:05:33Nice tie.
01:05:34Oh, yeah.
01:05:35Personal shopper.
01:05:36Fancy-ish.
01:05:40So we're all sitting at the same table then?
01:05:44Guess we're about to find out.
01:05:45Mm-hmm.
01:05:52Next generation shares jumped 60% on the first day.
01:05:56And the company has acquired 10 companies since opening in 2018.
01:06:01We're prepared to do the same for EY Global.
01:06:08So, let's raise a glass to our new partnership.
01:06:13So, how long have you and Lance been married?
01:06:23Fifteen wonderful years.
01:06:25How aspirational.
01:06:26So you're an interior designer?
01:06:28Actually, an architect.
01:06:29Oh.
01:06:30But I pivoted two years ago.
01:06:32Opened your own firm.
01:06:34Oh, that's impressive.
01:06:35Did you grow up in New York?
01:06:37Close?
01:06:38The Hamptons?
01:06:39Oh, ugh.
01:06:39Must have been rough.
01:06:40Sorry.
01:06:44I'm so sorry.
01:06:45That was just a joke.
01:06:46That sounds like a dream.
01:06:47I was actually thinking about a weekend getaway to the Hamptons.
01:06:51Just the two of us?
01:06:52Mm-hmm.
01:06:53Well, that sounds lovely.
01:06:55So, do you have any favorites?
01:06:57We can get away already.
01:06:59That's surprising.
01:07:01Why?
01:07:02Just in general.
01:07:03You know?
01:07:04Hmm.
01:07:05Well, I'm all for it.
01:07:06I think it's a perfect time for me to get away.
01:07:08You know, especially since I won't have a home in two weeks.
01:07:11Wait, what?
01:07:11Are you okay?
01:07:12Oh, yeah.
01:07:13No, I'm fine.
01:07:14That sounded much more dramatic than it actually is.
01:07:16It's not that dire.
01:07:17Sister and brother-in-law are moving out, so she's looking for a one-bedroom.
01:07:20Yeah, yeah.
01:07:21Pickings are slim, but I'm willing to move to a studio, so if anybody knows of anything...
01:07:27Didn't think so.
01:07:28If I were you, I'd move to Jersey.
01:07:31Hi, hi.
01:07:32Well, we like it.
01:07:34It's a great place to raise children.
01:07:37Speaking of, have you guys talked about that yet?
01:07:40What?
01:07:40No.
01:07:41Why not?
01:07:41I think that being transparent with one another, no matter how early on, is key.
01:07:48Yeah, so you know, then, how many kids Simone wants.
01:07:52Three.
01:07:54Hmm.
01:07:55Well, that'll have to wait until, uh, after Tokyo.
01:07:58No, it sounds like an exciting opportunity.
01:08:00Hmm.
01:08:01All right.
01:08:03Ah.
01:08:08Does anyone know where the restroom is?
01:08:11Yeah, to the back and left.
01:08:13That's...
01:08:14Yep.
01:08:14Okay, I'll be...
01:08:16Uh, so, how, uh, how long's everyone been dating?
01:08:23He's smart, good-looking, stable, funny.
01:08:27Occasionally.
01:08:28What more could I ask for?
01:08:30Wait, wait, wait.
01:08:30Are you talking about Aaron or Conrad?
01:08:33I'm on a date with Aaron.
01:08:34But you're sitting at a table with Conrad.
01:08:36Yeah.
01:08:37And Simone, his date, who was just so beyond perfect.
01:08:41Now I know how Carrie Bradshaw felt about Bridget Moynihan.
01:08:44Who?
01:08:45I don't remember her character name, but she was tall and smart and perfect with impeccably smooth hair.
01:08:52What is wrong with me?
01:08:54Conrad was never even really an option.
01:08:56Okay.
01:08:56I just, I really want you to be happy.
01:09:00Yeah.
01:09:02Aaron is great.
01:09:03Didn't say he wasn't.
01:09:05I've just made a lot of wrong romantic choices over the years, and I don't want to do that again.
01:09:10Especially when I know better.
01:09:12Then get back to your date.
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:16Yeah, you're right.
01:09:18I love you.
01:09:19I love you.
01:09:26Aren't you glad you listened to me?
01:09:28About Next Generation or EY Global?
01:09:30The ad.
01:09:31City Express.
01:09:33Veronica seems to like her, which is rare, so I'd say that's a good sign.
01:09:40Thank you, but the ad isn't how I found her.
01:09:45It was Emma.
01:09:46But the ad led you to Emma, didn't it?
01:09:50Yeah.
01:09:51Which led you to Simone, but it started with the ad, which was me.
01:09:59Fine, fine.
01:10:00You know, if you want to make Emma the hero here, just don't forget to thank me in your wedding toast.
01:10:06Whichever one you marry.
01:10:07I'm totally a dog person.
01:10:10Well, I grew up with the ad, but things at the firm are kind of crazy, so I just couldn't give it enough time, really, but...
01:10:17Hi!
01:10:18Here's the man of the ad.
01:10:19Here's the man of the ad.
01:10:19Oh, congratulations.
01:10:22Hey.
01:10:23Hey.
01:10:24You okay?
01:10:26I'm great.
01:10:27How are you?
01:10:27I'm great.
01:10:30Well, thank you.
01:10:31You're welcome.
01:10:32I'll get a cab for you.
01:10:33Okay.
01:10:33Now that the paperwork's final, we'll firm up your flight details.
01:10:37We're looking at six months now.
01:10:38Six months is doable.
01:10:40I thought it'd be longer than three weeks.
01:10:42Yeah.
01:10:46Sure it might be a little tight in the midsection now.
01:10:48See?
01:10:49I warned you, but that au gratin tower was.
01:10:53I'd venture to say I'd make a better gratin.
01:10:55Oh, I'm sorry.
01:10:56Do you cook enough to make that statement?
01:10:57Yeah, it's kind of like your pottery.
01:10:58I find it therapeutic.
01:10:59What?
01:11:01How are you?
01:11:03Speaking of pottery.
01:11:07Wow, this looks great.
01:11:09Yeah, I just touched it up a little.
01:11:13I cannot believe I'm just now learning that you cook.
01:11:16I know.
01:11:16I know I never had time to cook for you.
01:11:19But I'm glad we both got to come here.
01:11:21We didn't get to talk enough, but...
01:11:23Yeah, yeah.
01:11:25I'm glad you're happy.
01:11:27She seems pretty perfect.
01:11:29Yeah.
01:11:30Yeah, she definitely is that.
01:11:34And Aaron is terrific.
01:11:35Thank you for introducing us.
01:11:37Of course.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:38I'm glad you were able to get over that little bump.
01:11:40Hmm?
01:11:40Yeah, I think...
01:11:42I just had to get out of my own way.
01:11:46Yeah.
01:11:47Well, um...
01:11:49Gosh, if I don't see you before you leave for Tokyo,
01:11:51have a great time.
01:11:53Thanks.
01:11:54Mm-hmm.
01:11:55I'll bring you back some Hello Kitty.
01:11:57Mm-hmm.
01:11:58And, uh, good luck with the move.
01:12:01Thanks, thanks.
01:12:02I'll let you know where I end up.
01:12:04Please do.
01:12:05Mm-hmm.
01:12:06And thanks for being the lightning bolt
01:12:09that set this all into motion.
01:12:10I think you should be thanking the power outage.
01:12:16But I'm glad I could help.
01:12:21Emma?
01:12:22Mm-hmm?
01:12:23Caps here.
01:12:23Oh, okay.
01:12:26Goodbye, Emma.
01:12:29Goodbye, Conrad.
01:12:35Just saying how wonderful to find you so much.
01:12:38Bye.
01:12:43It was great to meet you.
01:12:46Do you see me?
01:12:47Yes.
01:12:47Good night.
01:12:53Hey, Kaylee, can you bring me all the travel documents?
01:13:00Sorry, I think I left the file on your desk again.
01:13:03Oh, and can you bring some more shipping labels
01:13:05and let Akio know I'll meet him for lunch at noon?
01:13:07Absolutely.
01:13:08Ten minutes.
01:13:09Yeah, great.
01:13:10Thanks.
01:13:13We're going to grab drinks before the team heads back to Tokyo.
01:13:16You're welcome to invite Simone if you want.
01:13:19Yeah, we'll see.
01:13:20Maybe.
01:13:21Things still going well?
01:13:24I don't know.
01:13:26Veronica was asking, so.
01:13:28I told her Tokyo was going to be at least six months now.
01:13:34So we had a long talk.
01:13:36I don't know.
01:13:37I just think we're on different timelines.
01:13:39Now, that definitely doesn't sound promising.
01:13:44What does Emma think?
01:13:45I haven't seen her since the dinner.
01:13:51I guess she's just busy with work and...
01:13:54Aaron.
01:13:57Since when did you become so interested in everyone's love life?
01:14:00I have been married for 15 years.
01:14:02I like to live vicariously.
01:14:03Vicariously.
01:14:08Fine.
01:14:10You want to know how I feel?
01:14:14I miss her.
01:14:17I like her.
01:14:19Emma.
01:14:20But we're just in the friend zone.
01:14:25Friend zone.
01:14:26You know Rachel and Ross.
01:14:29You're not in the friend zone.
01:14:30I just don't want to complicate things.
01:14:33For anyone.
01:14:34Too bad.
01:14:36It's always complicated.
01:14:37But do you think she misses you too?
01:15:03Okay.
01:15:04Do you want to watch a comedy?
01:15:06We could do...
01:15:09Drama.
01:15:15Probably not a rom-com.
01:15:30Do you promise to come watch movies at our place?
01:15:33Yes, I promise.
01:15:34You're not going to be able to get rid of me.
01:15:37I'm the third wheel forever.
01:15:39No.
01:15:40You are so not.
01:15:43I'm the third wheel.
01:15:46It's true.
01:15:47Next move, we are definitely hiring someone.
01:15:59No, it's good.
01:16:00We won't have to work out for like a month after this.
01:16:02Yeah, and everybody knows that this doesn't count.
01:16:05You're kind.
01:16:06Cheese.
01:16:08Mm.
01:16:09Mm-hmm.
01:16:10No way.
01:16:11See, I'm not that cold-hearted.
01:16:17There are many reasons why I love you.
01:16:19Oh, yeah?
01:16:23Okay, wait.
01:16:24I thought you said that Aaron was going to be here.
01:16:26Yeah, he was.
01:16:28But I ended it.
01:16:29I'm sorry, what?
01:16:30Yeah.
01:16:31I, um, I think my gut instinct was right about him.
01:16:33He's great, but not for you.
01:16:36Mm-hmm.
01:16:37And I'm starting to wonder if it's me and not them.
01:16:39Otherwise, this just wouldn't be so hard.
01:16:43Find me someone you want to spend the rest of your life with.
01:16:44Are you kidding me?
01:16:45That is like the hardest thing in the world.
01:16:48Some of us just stumbled upon it earlier, and that is like pure luck.
01:16:51So, I thought it was intention.
01:16:54Okay, fine.
01:16:54Maybe it was like luck and a little intention.
01:16:58Has to be a bit of both.
01:17:00You're right.
01:17:01And you're right.
01:17:01You're both right.
01:17:04I think I really messed things up with Conrad.
01:17:08I should have told him how I felt.
01:17:10Even if it didn't go anywhere, at least it would have been out there and not in here.
01:17:17I mean, you still can.
01:17:19I like that.
01:17:19Yeah?
01:17:20Yeah.
01:17:20Yeah.
01:17:21I can't.
01:17:22He's on his way to Japan, and he's in a relationship.
01:17:26A very new one.
01:17:30You never told me what Hello Kitty item you wanted.
01:17:45Hi, Miss.
01:17:46Uh, delete.
01:17:55Sir?
01:17:56Oh, thank you.
01:17:59So?
01:18:01What?
01:18:02He texted me.
01:18:03Oh my gosh.
01:18:04And it says, I miss.
01:18:05What does that mean?
01:18:06That means that he's missing you.
01:18:07I don't miss you.
01:18:07No, not necessarily.
01:18:08There's no you.
01:18:09I miss.
01:18:09I miss.
01:18:10Okay, okay, ladies.
01:18:11Let me see.
01:18:11Let me see.
01:18:11Let me see.
01:18:11Yeah.
01:18:11Okay, you need to be careful with type.
01:18:14Okay, so missing punctuation, but it's either he forgot to add the word you, or it's a pocket
01:18:19dial, and I have no idea what this is.
01:18:19Yeah, and either way, you need to find out, and you need to tell him how you feel.
01:18:24What if I'm totally misreading this situation?
01:18:28Emma.
01:18:33Okay, I get it.
01:18:34You want to find a nice, stable guy to settle down with, but that does not mean that you don't
01:18:38have to take, like, a bunch of risks to get there.
01:18:42So, are you going to call him?
01:18:49Hey, make your next left.
01:19:10Cut down here.
01:19:11We're going to Brooklyn.
01:19:14Go, go, go, go, go.
01:19:19Uh, not now.
01:19:25Right up here.
01:19:26Keep going.
01:19:26Faster.
01:19:27Go, go, go, go.
01:19:29Please leave a message.
01:19:30He's not answering.
01:19:30Okay, we'll just wait for the...
01:19:32Hi.
01:19:32Yeah.
01:19:32Hi.
01:19:33Hello.
01:19:33It's me.
01:19:34Um, I think you're already on airplane mode, but I just wanted to call and say safe travels.
01:19:39There we go.
01:19:39Can you go any faster?
01:19:42And I'm sorry, because I should have realized this sooner, and I'm about to make things really
01:19:48awkward.
01:19:48I don't know what to get to the point.
01:19:51I can go faster, faster.
01:19:53Make this light here.
01:19:54I think you're pretty perfect.
01:19:56And not like that.
01:19:57Not like perfect, perfect.
01:19:58No, nobody's perfect.
01:19:59But I think that you're perfect for me.
01:20:03Two more blocks.
01:20:04Make your next left.
01:20:05That was better.
01:20:14Sorry.
01:20:15I didn't mean to scare anyone.
01:20:16Hi.
01:20:17Hi.
01:20:17Well, what are you doing here?
01:20:18Shouldn't you be on your way to Tokyo?
01:20:20Um, oh.
01:20:21Hang on.
01:20:22Oh, yep.
01:20:23Are you talking to someone?
01:20:24Um, you.
01:20:27Me?
01:20:28Yeah.
01:20:28And what are you saying to me?
01:20:32You could just listen to the voicemail.
01:20:35Well, if it's good, I'd rather hear face-to-face.
01:20:39Okay.
01:20:40Um.
01:20:40I like you.
01:20:44I like you.
01:20:46That's what you were saying to me?
01:20:47Yeah.
01:20:48Well, I was getting there until you almost hit us with your car.
01:20:51Yeah.
01:20:52Sorry about that.
01:20:52I'm still on my way to the airport.
01:20:54But I wanted to come here to tell you face-to-face that, um, I like you too.
01:21:00You do?
01:21:03Why do you sound so surprised?
01:21:04Because we found her.
01:21:07You found Simone.
01:21:10But I found you.
01:21:11You're the one that I'm drawn towards.
01:21:14You're the one I feel a spark with.
01:21:17And you're the only one I know I'll miss.
01:21:22That's what you were going to say.
01:21:24In your text.
01:21:26My text?
01:21:27Yeah.
01:21:29Let me see that.
01:21:35Kind of messed that one up, didn't I?
01:21:38No, I don't think so.
01:21:39Because I'm going to miss you, too.
01:21:43Even your crazy early mornings.
01:21:46My dashing humor.
01:21:51I'm going to miss everything about you.
01:21:54Really?
01:21:56Emphatically.
01:22:09So, is this going to be like a pen pal situation for the next six months?
01:22:20It depends.
01:22:22On what?
01:22:22Have we found a place to live yet?
01:22:24No.
01:22:25Thank you for that super relaxing reminder.
01:22:27Well, what about Tokyo?
01:22:29What about it?
01:22:30There's a lot of great art there.
01:22:31And pottery.
01:22:34And your apartment's all packed up.
01:22:36And I can apartment hunt online.
01:22:38As we eat great sushi.
01:22:40Even for breakfast.
01:22:41Even for breakfast.
01:22:43What do you say?
01:22:44I'll be right behind you.
01:22:46I usually arrive a little later than you anyway.
01:22:49Emma, waiting for you...
01:22:51is always worth it.
01:22:54Well, you know what they say.
01:22:58All human wisdom is contained in these two words.
01:23:02Wait.
01:23:04And hope.
01:23:06You read it.
01:23:07And I loved it.
01:23:08You read it.
