00:01:00Thanks, enjoy.
00:01:04Hi, come on in.
00:01:06One sec.
00:01:14Thank you for coming.
00:01:21How did you get Elaine Shilu to show up here?
00:01:24I've been a very persistent emailer.
00:01:26Bordering on annoying, really.
00:01:28I could not ask for a better gallery assistant.
00:01:32Aw.
00:01:32Okay, so tell me, what did she say?
00:01:35She said she's heard of my paintings and wanted to see them for herself.
00:01:38The next digital magazine is supposed to feature abstract art, so...
00:01:42Daniella, that would be amazing!
00:01:44I know.
00:01:44A feature from Elaine would really help the gallery, so we'll see.
00:01:49She has to feature you.
00:01:51Everybody loves your paintings.
00:01:53Everyone likes my paintings.
00:01:54They love your parties.
00:01:56It's the easy part.
00:01:58I know you have such a gift for this.
00:02:00I can't help but think how easy it would be for you to plan your own artist showcase.
00:02:06Daniella!
00:02:06Daniella...
00:02:07Why not?
00:02:09Because...
00:02:10I'm not ready.
00:02:11You're not ready.
00:02:13Ila, you have to get over that.
00:02:15Why don't you show me what you're working on?
00:02:17Nothing I have is finished.
00:02:19Art is never finished.
00:02:21Sometimes you just have to throw it into the world.
00:02:23Again, other times you just have to throw it away.
00:02:27Well, if you're not going to show me, I'm just going to take a look for myself.
00:02:29Daniella, come on.
00:02:31Oh, Ila.
00:02:35You know I used to be like you.
00:02:37But all that did was slow me down and ruin my relationship with people who really liked my paintings.
00:02:44If you truly want to be an artist, you're going to have to let people see your work.
00:02:51I'm going in.
00:02:57Trust me, Daniella, you don't want to see any of these.
00:03:00I am not going to judge you.
00:03:13Ila, why would you not want to show me this?
00:03:16I got the light wrong.
00:03:17It's all messed up.
00:03:19The only thing that's messed up is your eyesight.
00:03:22What are these?
00:03:24Some rough drafts.
00:03:26Why would you throw these away?
00:03:28Why don't you let me hang them?
00:03:30They're not what I envisioned.
00:03:34You know, it would really spice up the gallery if you would let me display your work.
00:03:39It might be just what we need for Elaine to write that review.
00:03:42I know, but not these ones.
00:03:46Okay.
00:03:47This is what we're going to do.
00:03:49I am going to donate these rough drafts to the coffee shop next door.
00:03:54And you are going to do your own showing next week.
00:03:58Daniella, I can't just...
00:03:59Ila.
00:04:00Your perfectionism serves you so well in everything but your art.
00:04:06You've got to get out of your own way.
00:04:11This isn't the Met.
00:04:13You're ready.
00:04:15Trust me.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:20People will appreciate these much more than you think.
00:04:33So, how old is Matthew now, Allison?
00:04:37Eight?
00:04:38Are you serious?
00:04:39That is unbelievable.
00:04:42Well, I'll send over the updated contract right now.
00:04:46Yeah.
00:04:47Okay.
00:04:48I'll talk to you then.
00:04:49Bye-bye.
00:04:51Okay, great.
00:04:53I am flying through these.
00:04:57Hello?
00:04:59Anthony?
00:05:01Your office?
00:05:02Yep.
00:05:03I'll be right there.
00:05:19Mark.
00:05:20Close the door, please.
00:05:27We lost the Brasswood Builders account.
00:05:30Now, you're a great salesman, Mark, but you've got to understand our software if you're going to keep your job
00:05:35here.
00:05:36It's a small company.
00:05:37Anthony, I'm not an engineer.
00:05:39You knew that when you hired me.
00:05:40I don't want you to be an engineer, I want you to understand Architect Design 3D's product.
00:05:47We're entering the big leagues.
00:05:48If you don't understand how architects use our program, it's going to result in losses now.
00:05:52I missed out on one deal.
00:05:54I missed out on one deal, Anthony, and Brasswood never would have gone with us anyway.
00:05:57I don't agree.
00:05:58I don't agree.
00:05:59And it's a shame because they were our biggest customer yet.
00:06:05Look, I like you, Mark.
00:06:07I mean, you know I do.
00:06:08People like you.
00:06:09But you can't skate by on charisma anymore.
00:06:15You've been over-promising and under-delivering, and it's starting to hurt our numbers and our reputation.
00:06:21So you're firing me?
00:06:23Not yet.
00:06:25I still need you.
00:06:27Like, all our team members are currently occupied with other clients' projects,
00:06:30and I need someone to take on the Applin-Martin construction deal.
00:06:37Applin-Martin construction, that's a pretty big project.
00:06:40Yes, it is.
00:06:41And they're all about interpersonal relationships, so I think you're the right choice.
00:06:44But you've got to know, they're also considering going with the competition over at Architimes,
00:06:48so I need you to stay on top of it.
00:06:50Where are they based out of?
00:06:51Upstate.
00:06:51I was actually thinking of sending you off-site.
00:06:54You can get out of the city, turn off the distractions, and set up on my lake house.
00:06:58You'll know.
00:06:59Plus, it'll give you time to study the program, as well as hang out with the folks at Applin-Martin.
00:07:05Well, you know I'm good at that.
00:07:06I do.
00:07:08I gotta tell you, if you can't make this sale, I'll have to reconsider holding your spot here at the
00:07:14company.
00:07:15Listen, I'll admit it. I made a mistake, but it was a fluke, and I'll make it up to you.
00:07:19I hope so.
00:07:21I do.
00:07:29How long does it take to pour a cold brew, anyway?
00:07:31Seemingly quite a while.
00:07:34When was the last time you were up at the lake house?
00:07:36It's gotta be three or four years ago now.
00:07:38It was before Kathy got sick, right?
00:07:42That was the time we went to the flea market, and she bought something from almost every artist there.
00:07:46Yeah, she had me carrying you around a full wagon of paintings the whole day.
00:07:50The whole day, remember?
00:07:53She certainly had an eye for that kind of thing.
00:07:55I'm thinking she might have loved that one right there.
00:07:58Reminds me a lot of the art that we have up in the lake house.
00:08:02I'm looking for something to go over the mantle.
00:08:04It's beautiful.
00:08:05Mm-hmm.
00:08:08I gotta prep for my four.
00:08:09Can you bring the coffee?
00:08:10Yeah, no problem.
00:08:23Isla Dela Cruz.
00:08:25Sorry?
00:08:26That's the artist.
00:08:28Oh.
00:08:29You know her?
00:08:30I do.
00:08:31She works at my gallery next door.
00:08:34She's doing a showing today.
00:08:36You should stop in.
00:08:37Really?
00:08:37At your gallery, huh?
00:08:39Maybe I will.
00:08:40Thanks.
00:08:40She's one of the most promising artists I've ever known.
00:08:43Hmm.
00:08:45Oh.
00:08:47And if she gives you a hard time,
00:08:49tell her Daniella sent you.
00:08:52Daniella?
00:08:53Okay.
00:08:56See ya.
00:08:57Bye.
00:09:10This one is stunning.
00:09:12I'll take it.
00:09:17You know what?
00:09:17I don't...
00:09:18I don't...
00:09:18I don't think you want this one.
00:09:20Well, it's just I'm very particular about my work,
00:09:22and I just feel like there are some better options.
00:09:24See, this one is similar,
00:09:27but the lines are less muddied.
00:09:30I can't tell the difference.
00:09:32On second thought,
00:09:33there are too many clouds in this one.
00:09:35Maybe you would like to see one of the canvases behind me.
00:09:39I think I'm all set.
00:09:42Are you sure?
00:09:44Quite.
00:09:52Totally unsolicited opinion,
00:09:53but that was the worst sales transaction I've ever seen.
00:09:57And you are...
00:10:00Marc Asaro.
00:10:02Well, Marc Asaro.
00:10:04I don't remember asking for your opinion.
00:10:08You must be Isla de la Cruz.
00:10:10How do you know...
00:10:12Oh, uh, Daniella.
00:10:13Daniella and I are acquaintances.
00:10:18Are you an artist?
00:10:20No.
00:10:21I am also a salesperson like you,
00:10:23so let me give you a little bit of advice.
00:10:25Why would I want your advice?
00:10:27Why?
00:10:28Because I just saw you let
00:10:29a perfectly good sales opportunity pass you by.
00:10:31That woman wanted to buy your piece.
00:10:34I know that.
00:10:35Right.
00:10:36Well, generally,
00:10:38when a customer is interested in making a purchase,
00:10:40the seller doesn't try to sabotage the sale.
00:10:42Interesting.
00:10:43Well, generally,
00:10:44most sellers also do not like to be talked down to
00:10:47by complete strangers, so...
00:10:49I'm just curious why you convinced her to back out.
00:10:54I don't feel comfortable accepting payment
00:10:57for work that could be approved upon.
00:11:00Okay, but for you, everything can be approved upon.
00:11:02For her, your piece was exactly what you wanted.
00:11:05Look, I know you might think
00:11:07you're being a great artist by being so particular.
00:11:09Oh, excuse me?
00:11:10But all you're doing is robbing that woman of any joy
00:11:12she was hoping to find in this gallery today.
00:11:14I didn't rob her of joy!
00:11:16You did.
00:11:17That woman will never laugh again.
00:11:20Look, all I'm trying to say is
00:11:21there's no room in sales
00:11:23to start telling your customer not to buy your product.
00:11:27Great.
00:11:28Is that all?
00:11:29Just about.
00:11:30I think we should test this out.
00:11:31I would like to buy that painting right there,
00:11:33behind you.
00:11:34How much is it?
00:11:36That one is a hundred.
00:11:39A hundred?
00:11:40Come on.
00:11:41I bought a painting before that.
00:11:42It's at least $350.
00:11:44You think so?
00:11:46Absolutely.
00:11:47In fact, if you said $400,
00:11:49I wouldn't have argued with you.
00:11:51It's $400.
00:11:53I can only afford $350.
00:11:54Okay, you know what?
00:11:55I don't even...
00:11:56I'm playing the part.
00:11:57Just play along.
00:12:00I stand firmly at $400.
00:12:04Hmm.
00:12:06You can take it or leave it.
00:12:08Hmm.
00:12:10You stingy piece...
00:12:12No, we're not going to insult the customer.
00:12:14Fine.
00:12:16$400, huh?
00:12:17Pretty steep.
00:12:19You drive a hard bargain.
00:12:21But sold.
00:12:34There you go.
00:12:36So do you work exclusively in oils?
00:12:38No, but it's my main medium.
00:12:43I also work in watercolors and clays.
00:12:50That's better.
00:12:51You're very talented.
00:12:53Believe it.
00:13:04And if not, we'll just circle back at the end of the quarter.
00:13:07No, that's great.
00:13:08All right, thanks.
00:13:11You still busy?
00:13:12I'm just tying up some loose ends.
00:13:15What's up?
00:13:16I got you something.
00:13:18Say thank you for giving me another shot and for letting me stay up at your place.
00:13:23You did not have to do that.
00:13:35Is this the same artist from the coffee shop?
00:13:38Yes, it is.
00:13:39She's really up and coming.
00:13:41She's a painter.
00:13:42She's an incredible sculptor.
00:13:44She's really on the rise.
00:13:46And apparently she's going to blow up.
00:13:47That could really be worth quite a bit at some point.
00:13:50This is really well done.
00:13:52And I forgot, this is her boss's gallery.
00:13:55Also very talented.
00:13:57Thank you for the gift, Mark.
00:13:59Thank you for not firing me.
00:14:00Let's not jinx it.
00:14:03Sure.
00:14:10Any updates?
00:14:12You got two new commissions.
00:14:15Oh, well, that's not too bad.
00:14:17Anything from Elaine?
00:14:19Not yet.
00:14:22Wait.
00:14:23Oh, it's for me.
00:14:25Dear Miss Delacruz,
00:14:27I was recently gifted a painting of yours and was very impressed.
00:14:32I am looking for a new piece for my lake house in upstate New York
00:14:36and was hoping you might be able to meet me there to take a look at the property
00:14:39and discuss the possibility of working on a new project.
00:14:44I can't believe this.
00:14:46Someone wants to commission me?
00:14:49Of course they do.
00:14:51I think they're going to stop acting so surprised.
00:14:54I better say yes.
00:15:21Hello.
00:15:23Hi.
00:15:25You must be Isla.
00:15:26I am, yes.
00:15:27I am so glad you made it.
00:15:28Thank you for having me.
00:15:30Your home is breathtaking.
00:15:32Oh, should be.
00:15:34I've only been working on it for 30 years.
00:15:35Oh, wow.
00:15:38Well, this is unexpected.
00:15:41Have you two met?
00:15:43Um, briefly.
00:15:45How do you two...
00:15:46Oh, we work together.
00:15:47Yeah, Mark's a salesman at my software company.
00:15:49He's the one who gifted me your painting.
00:15:51Oh.
00:15:52I had no idea you two had met already in person.
00:15:54How excellent.
00:15:55Yes, excellent.
00:15:57So, Mark, you're right on time.
00:15:58I was just about to give Isla the tour.
00:15:59You can join us.
00:16:00Lead the way.
00:16:07So, um...
00:16:09So...
00:16:10This is the garden?
00:16:12All my wife's work.
00:16:15She passed away several years ago,
00:16:17and I just wanted to put something here
00:16:20that will act as a tribute to her.
00:16:23So, naturally, I thought of you.
00:16:26You did?
00:16:27Well, yeah.
00:16:28I just love your painting.
00:16:30And landscapes were Kathy's favorite style.
00:16:33So when Mark told me what a talented sculptor you are,
00:16:36I thought I know just who to call.
00:16:39Oh!
00:16:40Oh!
00:16:42Oh, I think there's been some kind of misunderstanding.
00:16:45I thought you wanted me to paint something.
00:16:47Oh, no, no.
00:16:47I love your painting.
00:16:48I do.
00:16:49But, um, I don't have any walls to hang on here.
00:16:53So I was hoping...
00:16:54Oh, shh.
00:16:55Sorry.
00:16:56Give me a minute.
00:16:57I've got to take this.
00:17:00Don't think he was a sculptor?
00:17:02Aren't you?
00:17:02What are you talking about now?
00:17:04Where did you even get that idea?
00:17:05You said you worked in clays.
00:17:06That doesn't make me Michelangelo.
00:17:09Okay, well, look.
00:17:10Just listen.
00:17:12I know this is going to sound crazy,
00:17:13but just can you roll with this for a minute?
00:17:14What?
00:17:14No, hey.
00:17:15Please, please.
00:17:16Hi.
00:17:16I'll explain later.
00:17:17Just trust me.
00:17:19Everything okay over here?
00:17:21Oh, wonderful.
00:17:21Wonderful.
00:17:22Just, uh, brainstorming sculpture ideas.
00:17:25Have you come up with any sculpture ideas?
00:17:30Maybe something modern?
00:17:31A gnome.
00:17:34A modern gnome.
00:17:37A gnome riding an electric scooter?
00:17:49That would truly be horrible.
00:17:54It would.
00:17:55All joking aside, I do want to give you free reign to create whatever you most feel complements
00:18:01this garden.
00:18:03Wow.
00:18:04What a great opportunity.
00:18:06So Mark is staying here for two weeks to work with a client of ours.
00:18:12After that, the place is rented out.
00:18:13But you're welcome to stay here for that time as well and work on your project.
00:18:18You mean at the house?
00:18:21Yes.
00:18:21Well, in the guest house.
00:18:24Oh, that is so generous.
00:18:28But I was planning on renting a room somewhere.
00:18:31That might prove tricky right now.
00:18:33It's, uh, spring break and all the home rentals are occupied here.
00:18:37It could be nice, though.
00:18:39You can, uh, keep each other company.
00:18:41Hmm.
00:18:42I mean, if you're interested, you can use the garage as a studio.
00:18:46Might have to move some stuff around in there.
00:18:48I do have to get back to the city today, but Isla, please, feel free to stay here for
00:18:53a day or two and then, uh, tell me how you want to proceed.
00:18:58Great.
00:18:59Great.
00:19:00Great.
00:19:02Just great.
00:19:03Please tell me why you told your boss I was a sculptor?
00:19:06Because you told me you were a sculptor.
00:19:09I never said that.
00:19:10I work with clays can mean a million different things.
00:19:13Oh, well, come on.
00:19:14I mean, it's all pretty much the same stuff, isn't it?
00:19:17I can't believe I'm having this conversation.
00:19:19So I embellished your ability.
00:19:22So what?
00:19:22I got you a great gig.
00:19:24Embellished?
00:19:25You lied.
00:19:26And why?
00:19:27I'm still not really sure.
00:19:30I made a mistake at work.
00:19:33So?
00:19:33So Anthony is giving me another chance.
00:19:37I don't understand what I have to do with any of this.
00:19:42I was selling software to a client and I may have slightly exaggerated our program's abilities.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:51Okay.
00:19:51And the engineers didn't have time to implement the changes I said were already featured components
00:19:55of the program, so I kind of lost out on a pretty important deal.
00:20:00And Anthony could have fired me, but he didn't.
00:20:02He's given me another chance.
00:20:03Well, that was big of him.
00:20:05It was.
00:20:06And so I gave him your painting as a thank you gift.
00:20:09And I may have talked you up a little bit as an artist because I wanted him to like the
00:20:13piece.
00:20:14It sounds a lot to me like you oversold my software.
00:20:17A.K.A. lied.
00:20:18I didn't lie.
00:20:19I exaggerated.
00:20:22Which some people mislabel incorrectly as lying.
00:20:27And if he finds out I inflated your reputation as an artist, he's not going to trust me with
00:20:31this deal.
00:20:32Well, maybe you should have thought of that before lying.
00:20:35Okay, listen.
00:20:36I'll help you.
00:20:38Tomorrow, we'll go to the craft store and I'll buy all your supplies for you.
00:20:42I'll fund your entire project.
00:20:44It'll be great.
00:20:45Just please don't tell him.
00:20:48Please.
00:20:51He hired me to be a sculptor.
00:20:53Daniela, a sculptor!
00:20:57Well, you've sculpted before, right?
00:20:59Once, in art school.
00:21:01That's a start.
00:21:02Daniela, I don't want to show people my paintings and I'm a painter.
00:21:05I'm not about to sculpt on commission when I do not sculpt.
00:21:09Ayla, this could be great for you.
00:21:12This is how I see it.
00:21:13You're being paid to stay at a lake house for a couple of weeks and expand your portfolio
00:21:19with a commission you have total artistic control over.
00:21:23What if it turns out badly?
00:21:25It won't.
00:21:26How do you know?
00:21:27Because you won't let it.
00:21:29Plus, maybe once you learn how to sculpt, you can sculpt something for the gallery.
00:21:34Unlikely.
00:21:35Oh, come on.
00:21:36If we hang a few of your paintings and display a sculpture, we could attract a whole new client base.
00:21:42Okay, let's just see how good I get.
00:21:46Fine.
00:21:48While you're there, make sure you explore the town.
00:21:50You know I grew up there, right?
00:21:52I used to sell my paintings at the flea market there.
00:21:56The town is really charming.
00:21:58It's very cute.
00:21:59And it's great for your landscape scenes if you have the time.
00:22:02I definitely will not have the time.
00:22:04Maybe I'll pop up for a few days.
00:22:07I could use a break from the city and visiting you could be the perfect excuse.
00:22:11Are you using me for a free vacation?
00:22:15No, never.
00:22:16I'm just looking for artistic inspiration.
00:22:20Well, your inspiration is very conveniently located.
00:22:38Oh, so napkins are your main medium, huh?
00:22:44I have decided that I am going to take on this product.
00:22:48Well, that is excellent news.
00:22:50But I am also taking you up on your offer to fund it.
00:22:53Totally fair.
00:22:55So get in the car.
00:22:56We're going to the craft store.
00:22:57Well, I haven't had my coffee yet.
00:23:00I made it three hours ago.
00:23:02Here's to go, Mon.
00:23:09If you're not in the car in 60 seconds, you're in trouble.
00:23:25Listen, I haven't actually made my sale yet, so you might have to slow down a little bit.
00:23:28What is that supposed to mean?
00:23:30I mean, you're buying out the entire store.
00:23:32Well, I have to.
00:23:33I don't have many tools.
00:23:35Well, what about these books you've got?
00:23:37How else am I supposed to learn?
00:23:39The internet?
00:23:40Huh.
00:23:47Hi.
00:23:48Oh, hey.
00:23:49Hey.
00:23:52This thing.
00:23:54Clay.
00:23:59One more.
00:24:05Sir, would you like to join our rewards program today?
00:24:24Wow.
00:24:26This is a great space.
00:24:28What space are you talking about?
00:24:30I can barely see the floor.
00:24:32So it needs a little tidying up.
00:24:34A little?
00:24:35I wouldn't be surprised if this whole sculpture thing was Anthony's secret ploy to get us to clean out his
00:24:39garage.
00:24:41Us?
00:24:44Oh, that's cute.
00:24:45You thought you were getting out of this one.
00:24:46You do realize I also have a job to do, right?
00:24:49I have a very, very important meeting I need to prepare for.
00:24:52Well, it's a great thing we have such an early head start.
00:24:55Oh, come on.
00:24:56All it needs is a little tidying up.
00:25:11Hi there.
00:25:13I'm here to see...
00:25:13He's here to see me.
00:25:15You must be Mark.
00:25:17Emilio.
00:25:18Thank you for having me.
00:25:19If all goes to plan, we'll be thanking you.
00:25:22You can follow me.
00:25:23Great.
00:25:27Mark, we like what Architect Design 3D brings to the table.
00:25:31But we do have some issues.
00:25:33Namely, that the software doesn't allow us to be as creatively free as we would like.
00:25:37Our newest update should address that.
00:25:40Unfortunately, I had the same conversation with Anthony several months ago.
00:25:43But we still haven't received the update.
00:25:45I'm sorry to hear that, but we're in our final testing phase, so you should receive that update within the
00:25:50month.
00:25:51That may be true, but we would like to make a decision within the next two weeks.
00:25:56So unless you think Architect Design 3D's program can be available to us by then, we'll very likely go with
00:26:02Architect.
00:26:03Two weeks, huh?
00:26:05We can do it.
00:26:06As someone who respects your company and would like to see this relationship grow, I'd really like to make it
00:26:11work.
00:26:12So would I.
00:26:13In fact, why don't you and Pamela come over for dinner this week and we can go over all the
00:26:18specifics you're looking for and we can get to know each other a bit better.
00:26:22We would love that.
00:26:24Excellent.
00:26:33How was your afternoon?
00:26:34Uh, actually it was pretty...
00:26:35Because mine was absolutely terrible.
00:26:37Follow me.
00:26:46Ah!
00:26:47What?
00:26:48What is that?
00:26:49A dolphin?
00:26:50With fangs?
00:26:51Well, it's the sock of salmon and he likes to fish.
00:26:56Okay, A, no one would ever go fishing ever again after catching something like that.
00:27:00And B, a fish?
00:27:02Ayla, come on.
00:27:03You'd have better luck with a scooter gnome.
00:27:06Well, what am I supposed to do, Mark?
00:27:08I don't know what Anthony likes.
00:27:09I don't know anything about him at all.
00:27:12Okay, you know what?
00:27:13You need a break.
00:27:14I'm going to take a break.
00:27:14I have to learn how to sculpt.
00:27:16You know what?
00:27:17I might have an idea that would make you feel a little bit better.
00:27:20Now, let's go.
00:27:22Come on.
00:27:28Fine.
00:27:35Hello, fellow artists.
00:27:37Welcome to sculpting class.
00:27:38Today, we're going to be sculpting elephant bookstoppers.
00:27:41So, I want you to have a ball of clay and an aluminum framework in front of them.
00:28:06Do you mind if I call you out?
00:28:08Of course not.
00:28:12So, as you can see, folks, this is a perfect example of what not to do.
00:28:18You want to gradually add smaller bits of clay so that you can easily shape and create the right proportions.
00:28:24This is what happens when you...
00:28:26Wait, did you drop this on the floor?
00:28:28What?
00:28:29No.
00:28:31This is what happens when you're reckless with your chisels.
00:28:40Keep it up.
00:28:42I will.
00:28:44Thank you very much.
00:28:45See you guys.
00:28:47Hi.
00:28:48Isla.
00:28:50Have you ever sculpted before?
00:28:53Oh, um, a little bit.
00:28:55Your work has real potential.
00:28:58Oh, well, thank you.
00:29:00I hope you'll come back to the next class.
00:29:03We'll be sculpting clay flowers.
00:29:06Like this one.
00:29:09For you, my lady.
00:29:11Oh, thank you so much.
00:29:12I know just where to put this.
00:29:16I gotta go.
00:29:18See ya.
00:29:19Yeah, I'll see you later.
00:29:23He called me out in front of the whole class.
00:29:25Let me see it again.
00:29:26Let me see him.
00:29:28Mark, you're lucky he didn't kick you out of the class.
00:29:31Reckless chisels.
00:29:32My elephant's trunk was a devoted labor of love.
00:29:35Well, you should be thrilled because my confidence is through the roof now that I know I have real potential.
00:29:43That's great, because there's real potential.
00:29:45I've never shown up to that class ever again.
00:29:47You know, you should go.
00:29:48You should go.
00:29:48You've learned so much.
00:29:50This cannot be improved.
00:29:51It can be improved.
00:29:57Hey, I'm heading out to a meeting.
00:29:59Oh, okay.
00:30:00Before you go, do you think maybe I should ask Anthony instead of a grand garden centerpiece he'd prefer an
00:30:06adorable...
00:30:07Lopsided bookend?
00:30:10Couldn't hurt to ask.
00:30:11Enjoy your meeting.
00:30:13Enjoy your wet clay.
00:30:18You're not that lopsided.
00:30:26We've been commissioned to build a library, but the contractor wants it to be eccentric and original.
00:30:31These are the blueprints we have right now.
00:30:33Oh, yeah.
00:30:33We've worked with blueprints like this before.
00:30:35We heard about what happened with Brasswood Builders.
00:30:38They called us and told us that your software didn't live up to its promise.
00:30:41They recommended that we go with Archetyne.
00:30:44What happened with Brasswood Builders was complicated and unfortunate.
00:30:48And that's why I would like to spend some time to figure out exactly what you're looking for.
00:30:52I appreciate that.
00:30:54Here, come with me.
00:30:56Let me show you what we've already started.
00:31:09Hey there.
00:31:10Hey.
00:31:12How was your construction meeting?
00:31:15Informative.
00:31:16So what are you making this time?
00:31:20Nothing.
00:31:21I have clay paralysis.
00:31:23Well, firstly, that sounds serious.
00:31:24You might want to get that checked out.
00:31:25And secondly, if I'm being honest, I kind of like that one better than the vampire fish.
00:31:34You okay?
00:31:38I just don't know enough about him.
00:31:39Even if I all of a sudden become an expert sculptor, I don't know what will move him.
00:31:51Come with me.
00:31:59Okay.
00:32:07Wow.
00:32:08Do you think Anthony kept everything?
00:32:11Certainly not a minimalist.
00:32:13Oh, by the way, we're playing this later.
00:32:16Prepare to be demolished.
00:32:17Can't wait to see you eat your words.
00:32:22What kind of magic wizardry tool is this?
00:32:26That's a sexton.
00:32:29People used to use them for boating.
00:32:31I think this one has been in Anthony's family for, like, generations.
00:32:35Well, how does it work?
00:32:38There you go.
00:32:40Yeah, you measured the angle between the celestial body and the horizon for navigational purposes.
00:32:47Well, I would be permanently lost, I'd say.
00:32:50No, you'd figure it out.
00:32:51We can go out on the water sometime and I'll show you.
00:32:55Photos.
00:33:01Oh, that's Kathy and Anthony.
00:33:05Oh, that's Kathy and Anthony.
00:33:06Spring 1993.
00:33:09It seems up your alley.
00:33:14Oh, that is stunning.
00:33:17Yeah, Kathy loved art.
00:33:19She was a real collector.
00:33:20Who was the artist?
00:33:22Uh, I'm not sure.
00:33:23I do know that they have a lot of this artist's work hanging up around the house, though.
00:33:28It reminds me of something I've seen before.
00:33:31You know, you should really take your art to the flea market here.
00:33:34People would love your stuff.
00:33:36Okay, I don't think so.
00:33:37Why not?
00:33:39I don't have the time.
00:33:41I don't know if you forgot, but I'm learning an entirely new art medium over here.
00:33:46You have time to attend one flea market.
00:33:48Come on, your landscapes, they would sell like crazy there.
00:33:50I'll even help you set up.
00:33:52It would be good for you.
00:33:54Why are you so concerned with what's good for me?
00:33:56Because I think you're talented.
00:33:59And I think I could help you with my skill set.
00:34:02But what is your skill set exactly?
00:34:05Because, frankly, I haven't seen you work on anything since you got here.
00:34:09That's because it's all up here.
00:34:11Is it?
00:34:13Aren't you supposed to be learning some new software program or something?
00:34:17I am a salesman, okay?
00:34:19I'm a pretty good salesman.
00:34:20I don't need to use the software to sell it.
00:34:22Anthony?
00:34:23He seems to think so.
00:34:25That's because Anthony is an engineer, and he doesn't understand the intricacies of
00:34:29interpersonal business relationships.
00:34:31Look, I'm having the CEO and his wife over for dinner tomorrow.
00:34:34Once they see how invested in them I am, they'll feel comfortable doing business with us.
00:34:40Not everything is networking and sales, you know?
00:34:43I beg to differ.
00:35:04Hey, Anthony.
00:35:06Here's a canoe I made that is also a hot dog.
00:35:10Hope you like it.
00:35:22Missed me?
00:35:23Yes.
00:35:25But do you know what I miss even more?
00:35:27Knowing what I'm doing.
00:35:28So, I take it it's going well then.
00:35:31Daniela, I don't know what to sculpt or how to sculpt it.
00:35:34Maybe you could come up and help me?
00:35:36Oh, sculpting isn't my forte either, hon.
00:35:40Plus, I have a showing at the Gallery of Modern Art this week I need to prepare for.
00:35:44Elaine's supposed to be there, and I want to stay top of her mind so she'll give us that review.
00:35:48I honestly can't believe she hasn't written one already.
00:35:52Well, there's a lot of galleries in New York to choose from.
00:35:55Still, she would be crazy not to feature you.
00:35:58Well, I hope so.
00:36:00It'd be so good for us.
00:36:03Anyway, didn't you take a sculpting class?
00:36:05How did that go?
00:36:06It was helpful.
00:36:09So, go to the class again.
00:36:10See if you can get your teacher's input.
00:36:14You know what?
00:36:14You're right.
00:36:15I could do that.
00:36:16How's software guy?
00:36:18Not that into software, so it seems.
00:36:20It's more of a salesman.
00:36:23Is it good company?
00:36:27It's better than nothing.
00:36:29Great.
00:36:30That's exactly the kind of review I'm hoping to get from Elaine.
00:36:35Okay, bye, Daniela.
00:36:37Bye, Ila.
00:36:54How's the sculpting going?
00:36:56You know, it's paddling along.
00:36:59Also, I rearranged your outside settings a little bit.
00:37:03Oh?
00:37:04Didn't approve of my layout?
00:37:06You know, I don't want to make your head any bigger, because I imagine your neck is already
00:37:10under immense strain, but I actually think you did a really nice job.
00:37:15I'm impressed.
00:37:17I enjoy preparing a space.
00:37:18So do I.
00:37:20Does that mean we have something in common?
00:37:23Impossible.
00:37:27So do you need help with any of this?
00:37:29Uh, sure.
00:37:30Why don't you pass me that saffron powder there?
00:37:32Ooh, wow.
00:37:33Saffron powder.
00:37:34Fancy night.
00:37:35Do you like to cook?
00:37:35If putting a sweet potato in the microwave counts as cooking, then yes.
00:37:40It doesn't.
00:37:41I was afraid of that.
00:37:43You know what?
00:37:43Why don't you try this?
00:37:44It's easy.
00:37:52Your turn.
00:37:55Bet you haven't seen this move before.
00:38:02Who taught you that?
00:38:04I learned it in a very elite culinary school.
00:38:07Oh, really?
00:38:07What do I get in?
00:38:08Let's see what you got.
00:38:10You want to see what I got?
00:38:11One egg.
00:38:12Two egg.
00:38:17Sadly, no, you wouldn't get in, but you could apply again next year.
00:38:20There's always next year.
00:38:20Okay.
00:38:24And at one point, I'm talking to Claude, and he takes off his suit jacket.
00:38:28And I realize that's my moment.
00:38:30So I push him in the pool.
00:38:33Cut to, we end up making a deal treading water in the deep end.
00:38:36I hope it wasn't a nice suit.
00:38:38Are you kidding me?
00:38:39It was a beautiful suit.
00:38:39I had to go get it dry cleaned.
00:38:41Well, I'm sure he appreciated that.
00:38:43He did.
00:38:45Speaking of which, I just wanted to say thank you for coming tonight, because we really do
00:38:50want to make this work, and I really thought that this might be a good opportunity to discuss
00:38:55how we can better our product to serve your needs.
00:39:00We love your software, and we love your price point.
00:39:04But Archetype's software would allow us to be a bit more original and innovative.
00:39:09Which means we could work with more versatile styles.
00:39:11Which means we could expand our business, and work with more clients.
00:39:16But aside from being so expensive, Archetype can be difficult to use.
00:39:22On the other hand, your program has such loaded updates, it can be difficult to adapt.
00:39:30It might help if you walk them through it.
00:39:33Good idea.
00:39:34A presentational tutorial would be hugely helpful.
00:39:38Well, I'm not so sure that's necessary.
00:39:40The updates will be pretty self-explanatory.
00:39:42I feel like it would be really beneficial.
00:39:44I agree.
00:39:46I mean, if you wouldn't mind, Mark.
00:39:49Perhaps after the changes are made, we can schedule a user presentation.
00:39:54I think it would make us far more confident than going with your product.
00:39:59Yes, let's do it.
00:40:01Excellent.
00:40:03In the meantime, let us know if we can be of any service, Steve.
00:40:06We're here to help.
00:40:08Absolutely, I will.
00:40:11Cheers!
00:40:12Well, cheers!
00:40:13Cheers!
00:40:14Cheers!
00:40:14Cheers!
00:40:23I had this under control.
00:40:24How?
00:40:25Were you just going to tell jokes and swap stories about pool parties?
00:40:28And that was going to be enough?
00:40:29We're barely going to get these changes in under the wire.
00:40:32And now I have to learn how to build models using architectural software and figure out how
00:40:36these changes are going to work in less than a week.
00:40:38I mean...
00:40:38Isn't that your job?
00:40:40No.
00:40:40My job is to convince them that our software is the best.
00:40:43Not to show them.
00:40:45Isn't showing them the best way to do that?
00:40:50At some point, Mark, you have to actually know your craft.
00:40:54And how is that working for you?
00:40:58Better than it's going for you.
00:41:00Because at least I'm trying.
00:41:02Better than it's going for you.
00:41:02Better than it's going for you.
00:41:04Better than it's going for you.
00:41:12Better than it's going for you.
00:41:15Better than it's going for you.
00:41:19Better than it's going for you.
00:41:22Better than it's going for you.
00:41:22Better than it's going for you.
00:41:23Better than it's going for you.
00:41:23Better than it's going for you.
00:41:23Better than it's going for you.
00:41:25Better than it's going for you.
00:41:27Better than it's going for you.
00:41:52My dear Anthony, every one of DC's paintings reminds me of times we've shared.
00:41:59The way she captures the lake, the trees, and the town is the way I remember seeing it when we
00:42:04first fell in love.
00:42:08She's more of an abstract artist now, but when I commissioned this piece in her original style, she was thrilled
00:42:13and beyond kind.
00:42:15I suppose this town attracts beautiful hearts from all over.
00:42:19I'm so glad that I found yours. You're enough, Kathy.
00:42:25You're up late?
00:42:29I was looking for inspiration.
00:42:33Any luck?
00:42:36I think so, actually.
00:42:42I wanted to apologize to you.
00:42:46That only took four hours.
00:42:50I'm sorry.
00:42:51I realized the only reason I was upset is because you were right.
00:42:54I can't do my job correctly if I don't know what it is I'm selling.
00:43:01Sounds like you got a lot of work cut out for you.
00:43:05Which is why I have a proposal for you.
00:43:09I want you to help me with the presentation.
00:43:11You'd be the perfect guinea pig because you don't know the software, but you're critical and artistic enough to pick
00:43:16it apart.
00:43:20Okay, fine.
00:43:22But if that's what you want, you can't get upset when I let my critical flag fly.
00:43:28Okay, I won't.
00:43:29And in return, I want to help you.
00:43:32You need to start selling your work.
00:43:35Mark, I...
00:43:36Isla, come on.
00:43:37If you want to be an artist, you have to get over your fear and start showing people your art.
00:43:42And that's why tomorrow we're bringing your pieces to the flea market.
00:43:45And that is final.
00:43:53He just yelled at me.
00:43:59Watercolors, oils, we got them all, folks.
00:44:02Isla de la Cruz is the most talented artist in the history of artists.
00:44:07Monet?
00:44:08Never heard of them.
00:44:09Picasso?
00:44:09Forget about them.
00:44:11Buy one, get one 50% off.
00:44:12This is a limited time deal, folks.
00:44:14She is bound for greatness.
00:44:16Ladies, ladies.
00:44:18Do you know Isla de la Cruz and her work?
00:44:20No?
00:44:20Are you just visiting or do you live here?
00:44:22Just visiting.
00:44:22Just visiting?
00:44:23Okay, great.
00:44:24Isla, why don't you show these ladies some of your work?
00:44:27Hi.
00:44:28Hi.
00:44:32This looks just like my grandparents' backyard.
00:44:35Aw.
00:44:36Okay, great.
00:44:37Do you have a business card or a website?
00:44:40No, I don't actually.
00:44:41What?
00:44:44Sorry.
00:44:49You missed sculpting class the other day.
00:44:50I know, I really wish I was able to make it.
00:44:53Do you?
00:44:54Oh, yes.
00:44:57Well, tomorrow we're actually doing a freeform class, so you can bring whatever you've been working on.
00:45:00Oh, that sounds great.
00:45:02Does it?
00:45:05I will be there.
00:45:07I won't, unfortunately.
00:45:10Oh, that's too bad, Mark.
00:45:11You could really use the practice.
00:45:15Are those business cards printing still, or...?
00:45:18Sorry about that.
00:45:22Here you go.
00:45:27Do you mind if I kept one of them?
00:45:28Oh.
00:45:29Yeah, of course.
00:45:31And I will take two.
00:45:37What?
00:45:38Just because, I will take two.
00:45:45Thanks.
00:45:56And...
00:45:57Voila.
00:45:59That looks great.
00:46:01Don't sound so surprised.
00:46:03So...
00:46:04There.
00:46:06Wow, that does look better.
00:46:09Art aside.
00:46:09Hi.
00:46:10Speaking of, are you ready for me to judge your presentation?
00:46:14The question is, are you ready?
00:46:20Good design is design that includes the needs of people.
00:46:23Which is why Architect Design 3D is here to serve you.
00:46:26Now, most software can take you from point A to point B.
00:46:29But imagination can take you anywhere.
00:46:31And that's why we've introduced freehand tools, so that you can add your own artistic flair.
00:46:37Namely, the brush tool.
00:46:38Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:46:40Aren't you supposed to be showing me how to use the thing?
00:46:43Why am I watching a ninth grade PowerPoint presentation?
00:46:47What are you...? I'm describing all the new features.
00:46:50Mark, we talked about this.
00:46:51The Rodriguez family wants you to walk them through the changes.
00:46:54Not talk around them.
00:46:56Yeah, but isn't that basically the same thing?
00:46:58I mean...
00:46:59No!
00:47:00Come back when you have a real presentation.
00:47:02We'll see you next time.
00:47:41We'll see you next time.
00:47:45Hey Mark, did you...
00:48:13I remember a little talk about that.
00:48:14Hey Mark, are you getting to mind...
00:48:17We saw a group of Ellis E.
00:48:18Like aalla verde dot unsafe?
00:48:27But what do I know him?
00:48:32How many of our stories were carbs?
00:48:42Nice.
00:48:47What do we have here?
00:48:48Oh, um, well, it's supposed to be a dev.
00:48:54What do you think?
00:48:55I think you have a real eye for this.
00:48:58Oh, thanks.
00:49:00I think if we just fix some of the proportions a little
00:49:02and use our flat knife to create some of the feathers.
00:49:08There you go.
00:49:09Oh, thanks.
00:49:12Of course.
00:49:14Now, what do you plan on doing after this?
00:49:17Uh, well, I was thinking I need to find the tail a bit more.
00:49:24I was actually talking about after class.
00:49:27After, oh, after you.
00:49:30Um, I actually, I, I, I don't have any plants.
00:49:37Now you do.
00:49:42Coffee on me.
00:49:46Sure.
00:49:55I think I started sculpting when I was three or something.
00:49:59What?
00:49:59Three?
00:50:01What, did you use, like, a baby spoon or something?
00:50:05Yes, actually.
00:50:05Oh.
00:50:08Well, I would love to see them.
00:50:10What?
00:50:11My, my paintings?
00:50:12Oh, no, no.
00:50:13No, you don't want to.
00:50:14I really do.
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:23Here.
00:50:32What?
00:50:33Oh, I just didn't expect your paintings to look like this.
00:50:38Well, what, what did you expect them to look like?
00:50:41These are pretty.
00:50:44I just feel like there's no life behind them.
00:50:47What?
00:50:48So you're saying my paintings are boring?
00:50:51I think you're playing it safe.
00:50:54I feel like there's more to you.
00:50:56You don't even know me.
00:50:58Well, you know, as a fellow visionary, I can just tell.
00:51:03Well, thank you for your input, Dylan.
00:51:08What?
00:51:09It was constructive criticism.
00:51:12From one artist to another.
00:51:19Hey, come and take a look at what I figured out.
00:51:25Or not.
00:51:26Only took me all morning.
00:51:28Hey.
00:51:30Hey.
00:51:30What are you doing?
00:51:35Was my presentation really that bad?
00:51:38Whoa.
00:51:39What are you doing?
00:51:40Stop.
00:51:41Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:42Hold up, hold up, hold up.
00:51:44Listen, I get it.
00:51:45The sculpting class made me upset, too, but...
00:51:47It wasn't the class.
00:51:48I grabbed a coffee with Dylan.
00:51:51Oh, okay.
00:51:52Well, that was your first mistake.
00:51:53I'm sorry.
00:51:54I'm sorry.
00:51:55Sorry.
00:51:56Just talk to me.
00:51:57What happened?
00:52:00I showed him my stuff, and he didn't like it.
00:52:04So?
00:52:06So he's an artist, too.
00:52:07He's a peer.
00:52:08His opinion is valuable.
00:52:10We are talking about Dylan, the guy who plays with Play-Doh in the back of the craft store,
00:52:14right?
00:52:15Would you stop dress sculpting just for a second?
00:52:19Listen to me.
00:52:20You are the most talented artist I have ever known.
00:52:24But the fact of the matter is, some people are just not going to like your stuff.
00:52:29I know that, but...
00:52:30Isla, Isla, it's not your fault that some people have terrible taste.
00:52:34But guess what?
00:52:34You don't want your work hanging on their walls anyway.
00:52:37I...
00:52:40I'm not good at rejection.
00:52:42You know how you get over that?
00:52:44How?
00:52:45More rejection.
00:52:46So literally wash your hands of this, and follow me.
00:52:49You still want to learn how to use a sextant?
00:52:53You ever been on a boat?
00:52:54Oh yeah, I used to live on a beach, so...
00:52:56We would take these tiny boats out to these little deserted islands for scavenger hunts.
00:53:01Really?
00:53:02Scavenge for what?
00:53:03Seagull feathers, hermit crabs, gold, obviously.
00:53:08Oh really?
00:53:09You find any?
00:53:11Loads.
00:53:12Did I forget to mention I'm incredibly rich?
00:53:15No, I think, I think you failed to recount your successful stint as a pirate.
00:53:20So when was the last time you were out here?
00:53:23Uh, I was out here with Kathy and Anthony when I, when I first got the job.
00:53:28Which is, when he first got his boat, which he of course named it for her.
00:53:32My dove.
00:53:33My dove, yeah, how did you know that?
00:53:35I know that's what he called her.
00:53:37Was all over their old photos in the basement.
00:53:40Yeah, they were perfect for each other.
00:53:41I keep trying to convince him to get back out there, but he doesn't, just doesn't seem very interested.
00:53:46Nah, he'll find his own way.
00:53:50Speaking of which, are you sure you don't want to teach me?
00:53:53After hearing about your successful career as a buccaneer?
00:53:55No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:53:56Turns out that I just had incredible navigation intuition, so I didn't need one.
00:54:01Right, right.
00:54:02Well, I'll help set it up.
00:54:06See, what you do is you put this to your eye, first of all.
00:54:08Okay.
00:54:09And then you see how the sun is on the horizon.
00:54:11Yes.
00:54:12Okay, so now what we've done is move the index bar so that the sun is positioned there.
00:54:17And once the sun comes out and hits the horizon, then we can take a look at the elevation bar.
00:54:21And the time and the angle, the measurement of those, is what determines where we are.
00:54:25Okay.
00:54:28So where are we?
00:54:31We are, unfortunately, out of time for our lessons, so not much I can do.
00:54:36Unless you happen to have your nautical almanac with you.
00:54:39Oh, rats, no.
00:54:40I lent both my coffees out.
00:54:43Wait, wait.
00:54:44You have two coffees?
00:54:45You have two almanacs?
00:54:46Hardcover and paperback?
00:54:48Right.
00:54:49Right, although what you don't need because of your amazing nautical intuition, of course.
00:54:53Exactly.
00:54:54I just had them for the coffee table.
00:54:57I see.
00:55:09Thanks for getting me out.
00:55:10That was fun.
00:55:11It was fun.
00:55:12And I appreciate you letting me come along.
00:55:15I know sometimes you'd like to leave me on a little deserted island.
00:55:18What?
00:55:19Do I really make you feel like that?
00:55:21No, no, I'm just kidding.
00:55:22You're far too nice to me.
00:55:25Sometimes you occasionally put me in my place, which I appreciate.
00:55:29Seriously.
00:55:30Do you?
00:55:30Absolutely.
00:55:31Seriously, it's a really good trade-off.
00:55:33I encourage you to be more confident, and you make me constantly doubt myself, so...
00:55:38Oh, what?
00:55:39It's kind of perfect if you think about it.
00:55:41Mom, I don't want you to doubt yourself.
00:55:45I just...
00:55:46I want you to push yourself because I think you're capable of more than you know.
00:55:52And I feel exactly the same way.
00:55:56About myself, I mean.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:03Good night, Mark.
00:56:04Good night, Isla.
00:56:06Sleep well.
00:56:22Good night.
00:56:53I'm sorry.
00:56:54Hello?
00:56:55Miss me?
00:56:56Not when I'm unconscious.
00:56:58Sorry.
00:56:59Why are you calling at 6 a.m.?
00:57:03Is this an emergency because it's the only valid excuse to be calling at this hour?
00:57:08Elaine called.
00:57:10Oh, what'd she say?
00:57:12She said she loves my work, and she was very impressed with the last showing,
00:57:16as well as the persistence of my assistant's emails.
00:57:20See, I told you it was annoying.
00:57:23But we were right.
00:57:24She doesn't think the gallery's collection is diverse enough to merit a review.
00:57:28So what does that mean?
00:57:30It means she wants more than just abstracts.
00:57:33Frankly, I think she wants more than just paintings.
00:57:36I see.
00:57:38Something like a sculpture.
00:57:41Daniela.
00:57:41Wait.
00:57:43Just hear me out.
00:57:44I was thinking that maybe I could sculpt something.
00:57:48I could come up north and practice with you.
00:57:50It could be fun.
00:57:51Maybe you could teach me a thing or two.
00:57:53Well, I would love for you to come up, but I have to warn you,
00:57:56I'm not very good.
00:57:58Hmm.
00:57:59I've never heard that before.
00:58:05Morning.
00:58:10What are you doing up?
00:58:11You're never up this early.
00:58:12I am working on my presentation so that when I show you my next draft,
00:58:15you'll be absolutely beside yourself.
00:58:17But apparently, I don't have to work that hard.
00:58:19Well, just so you know, my boss, Daniela, is coming up today.
00:58:22Oh, great.
00:58:23It'll be nice to see her again.
00:58:24Here you go.
00:58:27For me?
00:58:40Hi!
00:58:43Wow.
00:58:44I know.
00:58:46Oh.
00:58:47Oh, so good to see you.
00:58:48So, let me get this straight.
00:58:52You're staying here with a very handsome single man,
00:58:57and you've been commissioned to sculpt whatever you want.
00:59:00Am I missing anything?
00:59:02That's about right.
00:59:04I'm really glad I came.
00:59:06You need my help.
00:59:08I need your help?
00:59:10I thought you came for inspiration.
00:59:14Wow.
00:59:18Mark, hi.
00:59:20Nice to see you again.
00:59:21Hi, Daniela.
00:59:21Glad you could make it.
00:59:22Funnily enough, I just got off the phone with Anthony,
00:59:25who says he will also be making it up today.
00:59:28Oh, no.
00:59:28Oh, yes.
00:59:29And he's going to want to see what kind of progress we've made.
00:59:32I know what I want to sculpt, but I don't have a sculpture.
00:59:34And I have all the research, but I haven't even started the presentation.
00:59:41Daniela, how do you feel about starting a diversion?
00:59:45Yeah, we're going to need to buy some time, so can you please not let him into my office?
00:59:49And don't let him into the crush.
00:59:51Can you repeat that?
01:00:04Hi.
01:00:06You must be Anthony.
01:00:10I'm sorry.
01:00:11Who are you?
01:00:12Of course.
01:00:13It must be odd having a stranger open the door to your house.
01:00:16I'm Daniela.
01:00:19Isla's boss.
01:00:20Friend.
01:00:21Well, friend for his boss.
01:00:24I see.
01:00:26Do you mind if I...
01:00:28Password.
01:00:32Just kidding.
01:00:36Yeesh.
01:00:38No one can take a joke today.
01:00:41Where is everyone?
01:00:43Isla and Mark?
01:00:43Yeah.
01:00:44They're both working, not to be interrupted.
01:00:46They're in a flow state.
01:00:48Flow state?
01:00:49Interesting.
01:00:50Um, I, I, I should just pop in and give Isla a quick flow.
01:00:55No?
01:00:55I just left her in the garage so she could focus.
01:00:58Flow state is very fragile.
01:01:00It's easily broken.
01:01:02I see.
01:01:03I see.
01:01:04Um, okay, well, I should let Mark know in here.
01:01:05I'm just here to promote productivity.
01:01:11Have we met?
01:01:19Where did you get this?
01:01:23Oh, my wife bought that.
01:01:26Why do you ask?
01:01:27It's mine.
01:01:28No.
01:01:30I painted it.
01:01:35Oh.
01:01:42Hi, how's it going?
01:01:44Hey.
01:01:45Uh, good.
01:01:46I'm not finished, but if Anthony asks, at least I have something now.
01:01:48How about you?
01:01:50Same.
01:01:53How about you meet me in the kitchen?
01:01:56Make some dinner?
01:01:58Are you offering to microwave a potato for me?
01:02:01I just might be.
01:02:10But you, but you went for a while.
01:02:12Yeah.
01:02:13Hi, Anthony.
01:02:14Hi, Laura.
01:02:14Nice to see you.
01:02:16How's everything going?
01:02:17Great.
01:02:18The sculpture's really coming along.
01:02:20Anthony, good to see you.
01:02:21The gang's all here.
01:02:23So, what were you two chatting about?
01:02:27Well, Kathy was a customer of mine.
01:02:31We met at the flea market, what, 30 years ago, and she bought a lot of my paintings.
01:02:37Wait, so, you are DC?
01:02:41But you usually use your full name as your signature.
01:02:45When I first started off, I told you this, Isla.
01:02:48I was a lot like you.
01:02:49I'm a total perfectionist.
01:02:52And, uh, and I wasn't comfortable signing my full name to my paintings.
01:02:58I did not realize you painted anything other than abstracts.
01:03:02I paint scenes inspired by my environment, so when I lived here, I painted landscapes.
01:03:07And when I moved to the city, my style changed.
01:03:11So, Daniella and I are, uh, thinking of grabbing some dinner.
01:03:16Oh, would you like to join us?
01:03:19Oh, no.
01:03:20Uh, Mark and I are gonna have some pizza or something, but you should both go.
01:03:26Okay, we will.
01:03:30Are you sure?
01:03:31Is it okay if I meet you for sculpting tomorrow?
01:03:34Totally fine.
01:03:39Have fun.
01:03:40Bye.
01:03:43Okay, not to offend you, but if you're offering me the choice between a potato and pizza, I choose pizza.
01:03:48There's nothing wrong with a potato.
01:03:57You were prom king?
01:03:59This all makes so much sense now.
01:04:02Being prom king might be cool in high school, but when you bring it up after high school, you're immediately
01:04:07the most insufferable person in the room.
01:04:08What if you bring it up outside?
01:04:10Hey, I didn't volunteer that information.
01:04:13You asked.
01:04:15I did, didn't I?
01:04:19It's so amazing that Anthony has Daniella's work in his house.
01:04:24What are the chances?
01:04:26Slim.
01:04:27It's really nice to see him light up like that again, though.
01:04:29Well, I think Kathy really connected with Daniella's paintings.
01:04:34It's so nice.
01:04:36It's always been Daniella's mission with her art.
01:04:39Has that not been your mission?
01:04:41No, it has.
01:04:42It just...
01:04:49I think sometimes I'm afraid that I'll put my heart into something I make and no one will connect to
01:04:57it.
01:04:59So, it feels a little safer to not share it at all.
01:05:07Can I tell you something?
01:05:09Of course.
01:05:11If I hadn't been looking to buy that painting for Anthony, I would have bought it for myself.
01:05:19Really?
01:05:20Yes, really.
01:05:22I think you're gifted.
01:05:25And I think it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world sees that, too.
01:05:29If you let them.
01:05:37Does that mean it's going to rain?
01:05:40Yeah, that's...
01:05:41It's definitely going to rain.
01:05:42And it's going to start...
01:05:43It's going to come down fast.
01:05:44Let's go.
01:05:44Let's go.
01:05:47Wait.
01:05:47Are you...
01:05:48Were you really going to abandon this piece into the storm?
01:05:51I mean, this is the perfect flatbread right here.
01:05:57Just in time.
01:05:59Is Daniela here?
01:06:01No, she's staying with her mom in the next town over.
01:06:04Did you have a nice time?
01:06:06I had a wonderful time.
01:06:08But we headed back in right after I got the storm alerts.
01:06:11So, is this supposed to be a big storm?
01:06:12Or it seems like it.
01:06:14Weather app says to brace for power outages.
01:06:16So, I'm going to bed.
01:06:19Tomorrow...
01:06:23I'd love to see the headway you're both made.
01:06:28Sure thing.
01:06:29Happy to show you.
01:06:29Great.
01:06:31Sleep well, Anthony.
01:06:32Always do.
01:06:36So, back to work?
01:06:38I think so.
01:06:40Should I make the coffee this time?
01:06:41I don't know.
01:06:42Last time you made coffee, you threatened me.
01:06:44No.
01:06:45Were you scared?
01:06:46Have you?
01:06:47Terrified.
01:06:48We should be.
01:06:50Terrified.
01:07:05Terrified.
01:07:26All right.
01:07:28All right.
01:07:43Hey.
01:07:44Are you okay?
01:07:45I'm fine, but...
01:07:50Look at my dove.
01:07:52Oh.
01:07:53What happened?
01:07:54Is there anything I can do?
01:07:56I don't think so.
01:07:57I just...
01:07:58I don't have any more time.
01:08:00I'm going to...
01:08:00I'm going to have to tell Anthony.
01:08:03Well, he's not going to be upset about this, Isla.
01:08:05I'm sure he'll give you more time.
01:08:06Even if it means you can't stay in the house, it was a total accident.
01:08:10I know, but...
01:08:12It was finally the way I wanted it to be.
01:08:14I just...
01:08:15I don't think I could replicate it the same way.
01:08:23You know what?
01:08:25I think I may have an idea.
01:08:29I am going to teach you how to use our program so you can draw your dove, and then tomorrow
01:08:33morning, we'll 3D print it over at Emilio's office.
01:08:37Well, that's cool.
01:08:39Please tell Emilio that.
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:45Fix the feather there.
01:08:47Maybe.
01:08:48And then maybe...
01:08:50How about pulling the beak down a little bit?
01:08:54Perfect.
01:08:55Then if you want to resize the whole thing in the same aspect ratio, you just add the percentage
01:09:00increase.
01:09:04Wow!
01:09:05That was so easy.
01:09:07Yeah, that looks great.
01:09:10Looks really great.
01:09:11Yeah.
01:09:12Honestly, I'm a little insulted that you picked that up so quickly.
01:09:15Oh, I'm sure there were more complicated parts, you know, Joey.
01:09:22If I was Anthony, I would be really proud to have you on my team.
01:09:36So I'll meet you downstairs from our morning?
01:09:39I'll make the coffee.
01:09:40Great.
01:09:42Because we're going to need it.
01:09:43Oh, no, what time is it?
01:09:45Oh, no, I can't tell you that.
01:09:46Is it that late?
01:09:47Later.
01:09:48Oh, well, I guess I should definitely get to bed then.
01:09:54Me too, I guess.
01:09:56Good night.
01:09:57Good night.
01:10:09You forgot your sketchbook.
01:10:15Thanks.
01:10:18Good night.
01:10:19Good night.
01:10:25It's not that easy.
01:10:32Wait a second.
01:10:37Oh, no.
01:10:50Morning.
01:10:50How was your nap?
01:10:52It was great.
01:10:54You ready to go?
01:10:55Yeah.
01:10:56Don't be nervous, but I did make the coffee.
01:11:00Oh, well, thank you for this.
01:11:02I'll see you in the car?
01:11:03Yeah.
01:11:04Okay.
01:11:17Hi.
01:11:18We're looking for...
01:11:18I assume you're looking for me.
01:11:20You are yearly good at that.
01:11:23How can I help you both?
01:11:24You have a 3D printer, I'm assuming?
01:11:27I do.
01:11:28Well, we have an art project that could use your help,
01:11:30if you'd be willing.
01:11:31You're here to help us.
01:11:33We're here to help you.
01:11:37Yes, beautiful.
01:11:40How did you make it?
01:11:41Using architect design 3D software, actually.
01:11:44I just drew it into place and scanned the drawing.
01:11:47You don't say.
01:11:48It's really something.
01:11:50I'm excited for you to see the presentation.
01:11:53We're still on for tomorrow, right, Mark?
01:11:55Yes, that's right.
01:11:57Well, now that I've got a taste for what this thing can do,
01:12:00I'm eager to get the full rundown.
01:12:03We're excited to show you.
01:12:11Hey, Mark, is everything okay?
01:12:14You haven't made fun of me once today.
01:12:15I'm starting to get a little worried.
01:12:16That's nothing.
01:12:17I just want you to tell me what's going on.
01:12:20Maybe I could help you.
01:12:26I didn't print the blueprint using architect design 3D.
01:12:31What do you mean?
01:12:33I downloaded the Archetype free trial for research,
01:12:37and then after you left, I uploaded your drawing to the program,
01:12:41and then I printed the blueprint from there.
01:12:43Why would you do that?
01:12:46Well, because it looks like with complex designs like yours,
01:12:50our freehand tool isn't really compatible with the blueprint platform.
01:12:55Okay, so can you fix it?
01:12:58I don't know how.
01:13:01Can you call the engineers on your team?
01:13:03Well, I could, but the problem is the presentation is tomorrow.
01:13:07If I tell Emilio that our software is blueprint incompatible,
01:13:10he's definitely going to go with Archetype.
01:13:12Okay, well, you have to tell him, right?
01:13:17Not necessarily.
01:13:19Mark!
01:13:19It'll be fine.
01:13:21We make the fix after the deal is done,
01:13:23and Rodriguez wouldn't even notice.
01:13:24Or he would.
01:13:26You made the same mistake before,
01:13:28and let me remind you, it didn't turn out well.
01:13:30If I tell Anthony or the engineers they'll get scared,
01:13:33and they'll call off the entire presentation.
01:13:35That's not your fault.
01:13:36It will be.
01:13:38So you're just going to lie?
01:13:40No, I'm just not going to mention it.
01:13:43Mark, just call off the presentation
01:13:45and take a few more days to fix it.
01:13:46I promised Rodriguez two weeks.
01:13:48It's a huge account.
01:13:49I can't call it off.
01:13:50I can't believe this.
01:13:51After everything we've talked about.
01:13:53What do you want me to do, Isla?
01:13:55Be like you and call off an entire project
01:13:57just because one little thing goes wrong?
01:14:00I never called anything off.
01:14:02You put me in an impossible position,
01:14:04and I said yes to help you.
01:14:06An impossible position?
01:14:07You want to know what's been impossible?
01:14:09Getting you to follow through on this project
01:14:10because you're constantly on the lookout
01:14:11for reasons to doubt yourself.
01:14:14I doubt myself
01:14:15because I know I could be better,
01:14:17and there are people out there like you
01:14:19who just tell everyone what they want to hear.
01:14:21I don't even know if you really believe in me
01:14:23as an artist
01:14:24or you just want me to finish this thing
01:14:25so Anthony doesn't have another reason to fire you.
01:14:29Come on, Isla.
01:14:30You know I wouldn't lie to you.
01:14:31Oh, no?
01:14:32Well, apparently you'd lie to everyone else.
01:14:38You know what?
01:14:39I don't have to be here.
01:14:40I'm going home.
01:14:41I don't have to be here.
01:14:51It's all activity.
01:14:58Hey, guys.
01:14:59Hey, would you like a pancake?
01:15:01Oh, I'm okay.
01:15:03Are you sure?
01:15:03I bought some syrup from the farmer's market.
01:15:06Thank you, I'm good.
01:15:07Mark, let's go over that presentation after brunch.
01:15:09We should.
01:15:11I'll go grab my laptop.
01:15:16Hey.
01:15:17Hi.
01:15:18Thought you were in the garage.
01:15:19Nope.
01:15:22Brought you some pancakes.
01:15:23Thanks.
01:15:25So,
01:15:27I've been thinking a lot,
01:15:28and there's something I want to talk to you about.
01:15:31Okay?
01:15:33I think you should sculpt something for the gallery.
01:15:36Daniela, I don't...
01:15:37Just hear me out.
01:15:39If we want to bring in new patrons
01:15:41and get attention from Elaine
01:15:43and from other publications,
01:15:45from anyone,
01:15:46we have to add something different.
01:15:49And I think this could be the thing.
01:15:51Daniela, I'm going back to the city.
01:15:55The city?
01:15:59Are you packing?
01:16:01This whole thing was a mistake.
01:16:04Isla?
01:16:06You can't go back now.
01:16:08You're practically done.
01:16:10Daniela, I just...
01:16:12I'm sorry.
01:16:13I'm not a sculptor.
01:16:16I never wanted to do this project,
01:16:17and I shouldn't have taken it on.
01:16:21I'm going to talk to Anthony,
01:16:22and I'll call you when I'm back in the city.
01:16:27Anthony's going over the presentation with Mark.
01:16:30Then I'll call him, too.
01:16:37Okay?
01:16:56Can't go unless you take me with you.
01:16:58What do you want, Mark?
01:16:59I don't want you to think I'm a bad person.
01:17:01That judgment is contingent
01:17:03upon the decisions that you make.
01:17:05Well, do you at least see where I'm coming from?
01:17:07I know that you have a job to do,
01:17:09but I don't agree with how you plan on doing it.
01:17:12Well, what do you suggest I do?
01:17:17I suggest that you have this meeting,
01:17:19and you tell the truth.
01:17:21Tell them that the software isn't up to par,
01:17:23and you already have a team
01:17:24working on ways to fix it.
01:17:26Because that's the type of person
01:17:28Emilio wants to work with.
01:17:30Well, what if I lose the account?
01:17:34Mark, you're right that confidence sells.
01:17:36But if Emilio's employees
01:17:38find this issue on their own,
01:17:39then they're either going to think
01:17:41you're incompetent because you didn't notice,
01:17:43or you're dishonest because you ignored it.
01:17:48But if you show them that you're confident,
01:17:50competent, and honest,
01:17:52I can't imagine they turn you away.
01:17:54Okay.
01:17:59I have to go.
01:18:03Will you please stay?
01:18:05Please?
01:18:06Okay.
01:18:15So, with the freehand tool
01:18:16that I just tutorialed,
01:18:18you'll be able to create
01:18:19versatile freehand shapes
01:18:20that will turn your drawing
01:18:22from this
01:18:23into this.
01:18:26architect design 3D
01:18:27is, in essence,
01:18:29limitless.
01:18:30It's completely unique
01:18:31in that it will allow you
01:18:32to take a sketch from your notebook
01:18:33and turn it into a reality
01:18:35using a platform
01:18:36that is straightforward,
01:18:38fast,
01:18:39and user-friendly.
01:18:42Wow.
01:18:44This is excellent, Mark.
01:18:46Truly.
01:18:47I feel like you've pretty much
01:18:48covered everything.
01:18:50Is there anything else
01:18:51we should know?
01:18:52No, I think that just about
01:18:54completes the presentation.
01:18:55Actually, there is
01:18:57one more thing.
01:19:00We have found one issue.
01:19:02Unfortunately,
01:19:03complex freehand designs
01:19:04are showing to be incompatible
01:19:06with the blueprint template
01:19:07because our platforms
01:19:09don't run on the same algorithm.
01:19:11But I've spoken with the team
01:19:12and a fix should be available
01:19:14within the next week.
01:19:15But I did want to let you know
01:19:17that it is a problem
01:19:18and we are addressing it.
01:19:22Well, that's disappointing.
01:19:25But I appreciate your honesty.
01:19:27And I'd like to know
01:19:28when the problem is fixed.
01:19:29Absolutely.
01:19:30Should be soon.
01:19:32Thank you both for coming in.
01:19:36Thanks, everyone.
01:19:40Thanks for the meeting.
01:19:46Should have postponed that meeting.
01:19:47No, we'd already spent
01:19:48too much time in draft mode
01:19:49and Emilio was adamant
01:19:50about the two-week deadline.
01:19:52They needed to see
01:19:53a concrete presentation
01:19:55and that's what we gave him.
01:19:57I hope you're right.
01:19:58For you and for me.
01:19:59I hope so, too.
01:20:05What do you think?
01:20:06It's stunning
01:20:07and thoughtful.
01:20:10You are so committed
01:20:12and dedicated to your craft.
01:20:15I'm really glad
01:20:17you decided to stay
01:20:18and finish this.
01:20:21Also,
01:20:22I'm sorry
01:20:23because I know
01:20:24I'm always pressuring you
01:20:25to display your work
01:20:26but it's only because...
01:20:27I will sculpt something
01:20:29for the gallery.
01:20:32You will?
01:20:33Yes.
01:20:35What made you change your mind?
01:20:39For me,
01:20:40everything can be
01:20:41improved upon
01:20:42but
01:20:43I guess
01:20:44I just finally realized
01:20:46it's not about me.
01:20:50I love you.
01:20:51I love you.
01:20:55Nice time.
01:20:56Oh.
01:20:57Hello, gentlemen.
01:21:00How did the meeting go?
01:21:02Oh, we'll see.
01:21:08What's behind you two?
01:21:10Are you
01:21:10hiding something
01:21:11from me there?
01:21:13I finished your sculpture
01:21:15and funnily enough
01:21:16I used
01:21:17Architect Design 3D
01:21:18to design it.
01:21:20Did you?
01:21:21Yeah.
01:21:22Mark showed me how.
01:21:25Huh.
01:21:26Huh.
01:21:28I hope you like it.
01:21:29Wow.
01:21:41How did you know that...
01:21:42Your love for her
01:21:43is everywhere.
01:21:45And if I'm being honest
01:21:46it was very hard for me
01:21:47to make this sculpture
01:21:48but
01:21:50what made it easier
01:21:51was
01:21:51seeing how openly
01:21:52you displayed
01:21:53your love for her.
01:21:56I...
01:21:56I...
01:21:57can't tell you...
01:22:02It's perfect.
01:22:05Of course.
01:22:10I know
01:22:11she would have loved you.
01:22:13Uh...
01:22:14Shall we, um...
01:22:15celebrate your accomplishment
01:22:17before we all have to
01:22:18head back to the city?
01:22:19Absolutely.
01:22:21Absolutely.
01:22:22Come on.
01:22:23We can, uh...
01:22:24celebrate in the backyard.
01:22:25Look.
01:22:27It's...
01:22:34Hi.
01:22:35Hi.
01:22:37I, uh...
01:22:38just wanted to
01:22:39apologize to you.
01:22:40That's okay.
01:22:41Everything you said
01:22:42was true.
01:22:43I...
01:22:43needed to hear that.
01:22:52It's really nice to see.
01:22:53I think Anthony
01:22:54could
01:22:55use the company.
01:22:56Yeah.
01:22:57It's sweet.
01:22:59Seems like they have
01:22:59a really good time together.
01:23:03I wonder if they say
01:23:04the same thing about us.
01:23:09I'm really glad
01:23:10you told the truth today.
01:23:13It was the right thing to do.
01:23:16and
01:23:17your opinion
01:23:18has become
01:23:19very important to me.
01:23:25It was ready to eat.
01:23:32I remember
01:23:33when I interviewed
01:23:34Isla
01:23:35to be my gallery assistant.
01:23:36I said,
01:23:38why should I hire you?
01:23:39And she said,
01:23:40let me plan
01:23:41one gallery event
01:23:42and I'll show you.
01:23:43You did not.
01:23:44She did.
01:23:46And she threw
01:23:47this perfect,
01:23:48exquisite party
01:23:49and I hired her
01:23:50on the spot.
01:23:51And then
01:23:52she showed me
01:23:53her paintings
01:23:53and I'm like,
01:23:54who is the superhuman woman?
01:23:57Well,
01:23:57the assistant
01:23:58before me
01:23:59threw out
01:24:00Daniela's brushes
01:24:01because they were dirty.
01:24:03So,
01:24:03her standards
01:24:04were pretty low.
01:24:05Well,
01:24:06now I'm sure
01:24:07they're extremely high.
01:24:08You know,
01:24:09what's funny
01:24:09is
01:24:13it's Emilio.
01:24:15I guess you better
