00:00:31Abigail Miller's office. This is Caitlin. Hi, Karen. Yes, I know it's Christmas Eve, but she's working on the fashion
00:00:38show. Because it's on the 26th. Well, you either come in tonight or open presents at your desk tomorrow morning.
00:00:44No, I will not tell our boss that she is being a Grinch. Karen, I promise you'll be the first
00:00:51to know when I do. Fa la la la la to you two. No, she's not in the art department.
00:00:58We're supposed to be at your parents' house in an hour.
00:01:00No, my mother keeps texting me pictures of the turkey in the oven. Are those Leighton's dresses? Yep, all hemmed
00:01:05and tailored, buffed and polished. How do they look? Not bad. Your designs are a million times better. Abigail should
00:01:11really put you in the fashion show.
00:01:13Leighton is her daughter and I am just her assistant. She barely cares what my name is, let alone what
00:01:17my designs look like. You've been working for her for almost a year. Have you never even shown them to
00:01:21her?
00:01:21Doris, are you crazy? Your New Year's resolution should be to believe in your talent. I do. And mostly do.
00:01:31Showing my designs to Abigail Miller would be like jumping in the deep end of a swimming pool filled with
00:01:37sharks.
00:01:37Well, by midnight New Year's Eve, I will change your mind. Right before we get romantic kisses from two handsome
00:01:45men at a elegant ball.
00:01:48What men? What ball? We were just planning on binge watching TV and eating our weight in ice cream.
00:01:54Well, it's New Year's Eve. Anything is possible.
00:01:57Okay, the chances of us getting kissed at midnight at some fancy New Year's ball is just as good as
00:02:03Abigail Miller wanting to see my dress designs.
00:02:06Abigail Miller's office, this is Caitlin. Okay, I got it. She's on your way.
00:02:09Okay, I am going to go hide behind my sewing machine and please remind her that it's Christmas Eve and
00:02:14that some of us are on Santa's nice list.
00:02:16Mm-hmm.
00:02:31Caitlyn? Abigail, I have your messages and Leighton, your addresses have arrived.
00:02:35Well, thanks, Caitlyn.
00:02:36I want you to add Lady Isabel and Prince Jeffrey to the guest list for the fashion show.
00:02:41Who?
00:02:42They're only one of the hottest couples in the world right now.
00:02:44I don't really pay attention to that stuff usually.
00:02:47It's your job to pay attention to stuff like that.
00:02:50Anyway, they're here for the royal family's New Year's Eve charity thing, and the rumor is the prince is going
00:02:58to propose.
00:02:59A New Year's Eve? Wow, that's so romantic.
00:03:03Yes. Anyway, it'll make a great cover, so I want to wow them at the fashion show.
00:03:08I'll take care of it.
00:03:13Abigail, some of the staff was wondering, it's Christmas Eve.
00:03:18And?
00:03:20And they want to go home, Mom.
00:03:22We have tons of work to do.
00:03:25Caitlyn, remind me which one chose it first. Is it the ghosts of Christmas past?
00:03:31Fine.
00:03:32Go be merry.
00:03:34Merry Christmas.
00:03:37No.
00:03:39No.
00:03:41Definitely not.
00:03:42Mom, I like that one.
00:03:45Lady Isabel is going to see your dresses at the fashion show.
00:03:48And if we play our cards right, she's going to be wearing one when the prince proposes to her on
00:03:53New Year's Eve.
00:03:54Okay, I get it.
00:03:56But it is Christmas Eve. Can't this wait?
00:03:59This could be your big break.
00:04:01This is much more important than Christmas.
00:04:05Let's get to work.
00:04:12Caitlyn, we're late.
00:04:14I know.
00:04:15My mother just sent me a picture of a kitchen timer.
00:04:18Wait until you see how much food she's made.
00:04:20We're going to have leftovers for weeks.
00:04:22Oh, the freezer's already full with all the food that my folks sent home after Thanksgiving.
00:04:26I can bring some to work.
00:04:27We work at a fashion magazine. Nobody there eats.
00:04:31Okay, no telling jokes like that tonight.
00:04:33My parents are already freaked out that I quit my steady teaching job to work in fashion.
00:04:37Well, have they seen your designs?
00:04:39Yeah, they think they're cute.
00:04:40Well, they're beautiful.
00:04:42Lady Isabel should see this one.
00:04:45The prince would take one look at her in this and propose on the spot.
00:04:48Okay, we have to go.
00:04:49Otherwise, my mother is going to send us a picture of her weeping over a burnt turkey.
00:04:53Okay, okay.
00:04:54Okay, okay.
00:04:59Someday your prince will come.
00:05:18Whose house is this again?
00:05:20Lord and Lady Atwood. You met them at the opera a few months ago.
00:05:24Oh, yes. I think it was a race to determine which would put me to sleep faster.
00:05:30Them or the opera.
00:05:32Luckily, they are vacationing in Italy and have given you a free run of the place
00:05:36and a suitable venue for the New Year's Eve ball.
00:05:39I suppose it's appropriate, given what everyone's expecting me to do at this year's ball.
00:05:43It is a tradition in your family, Your Highness.
00:05:46All men have proposed on New Year's Eve.
00:05:47I'm painfully aware of the traditions, Barnaby.
00:05:50I've lived my entire life within their strict confines.
00:05:53It's just that sometimes I wish that...
00:05:55And let me show you both where the New Year's Eve ball will take place.
00:05:59Hello, darling.
00:06:01Did you get settled in your room, Lady Isabel?
00:06:03Yes, I did, Barnaby. Thank you.
00:06:06We must make sure to thank Lord and Lady Atwood for their generosity.
00:06:10Oh, Geoffrey, we should take them to the opera.
00:06:13Wouldn't that be fun?
00:06:15Yes, it would be.
00:06:24Oh, Geoffrey.
00:06:26Oh, this room is beautiful, isn't it?
00:06:28Yes, it is.
00:06:29This will make a wonderful place for you to host an easy gala.
00:06:32We have so much to do.
00:06:34Interview Cato's, choose an orchestra.
00:06:36I have to find a dress.
00:06:37Isabel, darling, it's Christmas Eve.
00:06:40Perhaps we could put a pin in that until after the holiday?
00:06:43Geoffrey, this is quite important.
00:06:45We must make sure that everything is perfect when the King arrives on New Year's Eve.
00:06:49Yes, of course.
00:06:57I'm still full.
00:06:58I told you not to have a second.
00:07:00I think I would have made your mom cry if I didn't.
00:07:04Hello, Abigail.
00:07:05Do you have the updated guest list for tonight?
00:07:08Yes, I have that right here.
00:07:09Hi, Leighton.
00:07:10How is your Christmas?
00:07:11Jingle all the way.
00:07:12Let me know the moment Lady Isabella arrives.
00:07:15And, Doris, I think we should do another fitting for the models.
00:07:18We've already done two.
00:07:19Well, let's do three.
00:07:20It has to be perfect.
00:07:23Caitlin, why is this Christmas tree here?
00:07:27Because it was Christmas yesterday?
00:07:29Yesterday is like wearing last year's fashions.
00:07:32Get rid of it.
00:07:34Somebody got cold in their stocking.
00:07:37Mm-hmm.
00:07:43Hello, Lady Isabel Collins for Abigail Miller.
00:07:46Hello, welcome.
00:07:48Lady Isabel?
00:07:50I didn't know you were here.
00:07:53Caitlin, why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:07:55Well, I hope you're ready for this evening.
00:07:58We are going to have some amazing designs for you to see.
00:08:02Hopefully, I'll fall in love with one of them for the Prince's New Year's Eve gala.
00:08:06I want to look stunning when he, well, when whatever happens that evening happens.
00:08:11Yes, let's talk about that.
00:08:14Oh, I forgot my notebook with all my plans for the party.
00:08:17The messenger should be bringing it.
00:08:19Caitlin, go downstairs and wait for the message.
00:08:21Okay, I'll take care of that.
00:08:22He'll be carrying a red book.
00:08:23You can't miss it.
00:08:24Great.
00:08:26So, I've been thinking about moving.
00:08:32The messenger would have delivered the notebook, your highness.
00:08:35I know Barnaby, but I wanted to get out of the hotel.
00:08:38It's New York City.
00:08:39I'd like to experience it while I'm here.
00:08:41You have a busy schedule today.
00:08:43Are you sure you don't want to change into something more befitting your position?
00:08:46Are you saying I look like a commoner?
00:08:48Never, your highness.
00:08:49You look like a man with a purpose.
00:08:52Perhaps an unshaven one, but a man with a purpose nonetheless.
00:08:57Barnaby, I've spent my entire life being treated like a prince.
00:09:00That's a bad thing.
00:09:02No.
00:09:03Just this once.
00:09:05There's a city where nobody knows me.
00:09:08I don't want to be Prince Jeffrey.
00:09:10House of Wallenford, next to the mind of the crown.
00:09:13I just want to be...
00:09:16Jeff.
00:09:18I could be Jeff.
00:09:20You can be anything you want to be, your highness.
00:09:22Well, now you're just humoring me.
00:09:24I would never do that.
00:09:29Here we are.
00:09:31Jeff.
00:10:00Oh!
00:10:01Oh!
00:10:04Hi, excuse me.
00:10:05Is that poor lady, Isabel Collins?
00:10:07Why, yes, it is.
00:10:08I'll take that.
00:10:08I'm sorry, who are you?
00:10:09I'm Abigail Miller's assistant, and they are waiting for that upstairs.
00:10:12I really should take it up myself.
00:10:13They sent me down to get it.
00:10:15You see, Isabel is...
00:10:16...waiting for me to bring her that notebook, and she strikes me as the kind of woman that
00:10:19gets what she wants.
00:10:21Is she?
00:10:21Oh, yes.
00:10:22I mean, she's dating a prince.
00:10:23How do you even meet a prince?
00:10:24Is there, like, a dating app for that or something?
00:10:27Probably.
00:10:27Anyway, they are waiting for this, so...
00:10:30You don't understand.
00:10:32I wanted to meet Miss Miller because I'm...
00:10:34You're a model, and you think that if you could get in front of the editor of Applique magazine
00:10:39that she'll put you on the next cover?
00:10:40Model?
00:10:41Really?
00:10:41Look, you're a very handsome guy, I'll admit that, but the last person that tried to slip
00:10:45Abigail a headshot got carried out by security.
00:10:48Oh, dear.
00:10:48Yes, and they are waiting for this notebook upstairs, and if I'm not there in a couple
00:10:52minutes, I will be the one being carried out.
00:10:54Well, we wouldn't want that.
00:10:55No.
00:10:57Two conditions.
00:10:58Okay, what?
00:10:59One.
00:11:00You have to tell me your name.
00:11:03Caitlin.
00:11:04And I suppose the second condition is I'll have to give you my number?
00:11:07No, no, it's as simple as this.
00:11:09You must promise me that the next time we meet, you won't be embarrassed by what has transpired
00:11:13here today.
00:11:14What makes you think we will meet again, and why would I be embarrassed?
00:11:18Just a hunch.
00:11:19Okay, deal.
00:11:20Now, can I please have the notebook?
00:11:22My name is Jeff, by the way.
00:11:25Well, thank you, Jeff.
00:11:27I'll be sure to give you a good review on Yale.
00:11:46Hello?
00:11:47Doris, have you left yet?
00:11:48I'm just leaving the house.
00:11:49Oh, good.
00:11:49I need you to bring me a dress.
00:11:51Why?
00:11:52What's wrong with what you're wearing?
00:11:53Abigail said I look like a waitress from an all-you-can-eat buffet.
00:11:56Oh.
00:11:57So, um, we're guessing her new year's resolution is be less mean.
00:12:01Please just bring me a dress.
00:12:02Okay, well, which one?
00:12:03I don't know any of them.
00:12:04Um, the red one.
00:12:07The red one?
00:12:08Hmm.
00:12:09Really?
00:12:09Doris, please, just pick one.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:26Oh, Doris, what took you so long?
00:12:28All the guests have already arrived, and Abigail won't let me in the ballroom until I change.
00:12:31It's all right here.
00:12:32What?
00:12:34Doris, what did you do?
00:12:35This is one of my dresses.
00:12:36It's beautiful, and more importantly, it's too late to do anything about it.
00:12:41Oh, I am going to get you so good for this.
00:12:43Yeah, I'm going to be backstage with a bunch of size zero models, and I'm already being punished.
00:12:48There they are, the happy couple.
00:12:50Oh, Jeffrey, this is Abigail Miller from Appliqué Magazine.
00:12:52Hi.
00:12:53Your Highness.
00:12:54She has graciously offered to help with the news you've got.
00:12:57Wonderful.
00:12:58You know it's a benefit for the Royal Family Foundation, which funds a number of youth programs, scholarships, on the
00:13:04job.
00:13:04Jeffrey, she doesn't need the sales pitch she's already agreed.
00:13:08All right.
00:13:09Any assistance you can give will help a lot of people.
00:13:12Well, we're all about helping.
00:13:14And we want to make sure that we do anything we can to make you happy.
00:13:18Lady Isabel, I want you to pay special attention tonight to the fashions from Leighton Miller.
00:13:23Oh, fashion talk.
00:13:24That's my cue.
00:13:26Excuse me.
00:13:27Oh, Jeffrey.
00:13:32You clumsy man.
00:13:33You've ruined the prince's jacket.
00:13:35No, no, no.
00:13:36It was all my fault.
00:13:37Are you okay?
00:13:38I'm so sorry.
00:13:39Fine, thank you.
00:13:40Yes, your jacket has taken quite a hit, Your Highness.
00:13:43Oh, dear.
00:13:44Ladies, you'll have to excuse me when I go try to make myself a little more presentable.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:52Oh, dear.
00:14:02I'm afraid this is not going to work, Your Highness.
00:14:05Yes, I think the shrimp cocktail won this round.
00:14:08I'll go check with the hotel to see if they have something that might get this out.
00:14:12Thank you, Barnaby.
00:14:13I'll wait for you in the hall.
00:14:41I'll wait for you in the hall.
00:14:45Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:14:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:14:47No, I'm...
00:14:49You.
00:14:51What are you doing here?
00:14:54Actually, I'm...
00:14:55Oh, I get it.
00:14:56You're a messenger by day, a catered waiter at night.
00:15:00Very perceptive, Caitlin.
00:15:01I know you're trying to make it in this business, but this is not the way to do it.
00:15:06All right.
00:15:06What would you suggest?
00:15:08Do you have an agent or a manager, someone that looks out for you?
00:15:11Yes.
00:15:12His name's Barnaby.
00:15:13Great.
00:15:14Well, then, he needs to be out making contacts on your behalf.
00:15:16You need to make him work for you.
00:15:18Because the chances of you meeting someone important here are pretty slim.
00:15:22I met you.
00:15:24Right.
00:15:25Well, if you think that I'm important, you really do need help.
00:15:34I do know all of the great modeling agencies in this town, and I'm sure that one would
00:15:40be happy to sit down and talk with you.
00:15:42You would do that for me?
00:15:44I know what it's like to want to be something more than you are.
00:15:47So, give me a call after the holidays at the magazine.
00:15:52I'm not giving you my number.
00:15:53I didn't ask.
00:15:54By the way, the dress is beautiful.
00:15:57You look lovely.
00:16:00I'm still not giving you my number.
00:16:05Oh, Caitlin should be any minute.
00:16:09I'm here.
00:16:10I'm here.
00:16:10I'm sorry.
00:16:11It's about time.
00:16:12We should start the show.
00:16:13I know.
00:16:13I'm sorry.
00:16:14Hello, Lady Isabelle.
00:16:15Caitlin, your dress is stunning.
00:16:18This is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to wear to the New Year's Eve party.
00:16:22Where did you get it?
00:16:24Actually, I...
00:16:25Did you take it from the office?
00:16:27Was that one of our spring line?
00:16:28Caitlin designed it.
00:16:30Doris.
00:16:31You did?
00:16:33Caitlin, this is gorgeous.
00:16:36Do you have others?
00:16:37I'd love to wear something like it to my party.
00:16:39What now?
00:16:40Yes.
00:16:40She has lots of other designs.
00:16:43Wouldn't you like to wait until you see the show this evening?
00:16:46Well, certainly.
00:16:47But if Caitlin's other designs are this good...
00:16:49Caitlin, shall we meet tomorrow to go over what you have?
00:16:55Yeah, sure.
00:16:56That would be great.
00:16:57Tests me.
00:16:58Your location in a time.
00:17:00I'll be there.
00:17:00Great.
00:17:04Abigail, I didn't...
00:17:05We just need to get the show started.
00:17:07Right.
00:17:07I'll go tell the stage men.
00:17:08No, I want you to go backstage with Doris.
00:17:10And you help Leighton.
00:17:12And I want you to stay there.
00:17:14Everything has to go smoothly.
00:17:16Okay.
00:17:16I can do that.
00:17:19Did you know that just happened?
00:17:22Lady, it's about to be wearing one of your dresses when the prince asks her to marry him.
00:17:25I don't even know what to do with that, but...
00:17:28Abigail does not look very happy.
00:17:29No, who cares?
00:17:30I don't care.
00:17:31She's my boss.
00:17:32What if she fires me?
00:17:33She is not going to fire you.
00:17:34She just exiled you backstage.
00:17:36Although, I guess this means you're not going to get to meet the prince.
00:17:38Oh, I am so okay with that.
00:17:40I've had enough fairy tale for one evening.
00:17:46Here you are, your highness.
00:17:48Oh, thank you, Barnaby.
00:18:10Oh, hello?
00:18:12Good.
00:18:12Someone found my phone.
00:18:13Hi.
00:18:14Uh, that's my phone.
00:18:16Yes, it is.
00:18:17Hello, Caitlin.
00:18:18Steven?
00:18:18Wait.
00:18:20Is this...
00:18:21Jeff?
00:18:23You said you weren't going to give me your phone number.
00:18:26And technically I didn't.
00:18:28I just gave you my entire phone, it seems.
00:18:30I suppose you want it back?
00:18:31Yes, please.
00:18:33Um, I can come to you.
00:18:34No, no.
00:18:36My place is a mess.
00:18:38I was heading out shortly soon.
00:18:39I could drop it by.
00:18:41Really?
00:18:41That would be great.
00:18:42I need to get ready for a meeting.
00:18:43I'll text my address to the phone.
00:18:46All right, then.
00:18:47See you soon.
00:18:53So, wait.
00:18:54A future princess wants one of your designs
00:18:56and a cute model answers your phone when you call it?
00:19:00You should buy a lottery ticket, right?
00:19:02Uh, speaking of future princess,
00:19:04I have to call Lady Isabel.
00:19:06Hmm.
00:19:09Yes, uh, that would work perfectly.
00:19:12I'll see you then.
00:19:15That was the designer that I told you about last night.
00:19:17Designer?
00:19:18Yes, the one with the dress that I liked so much.
00:19:21I have a few errands, John, first.
00:19:23Perhaps we can meet for lunch.
00:19:25Sounds lovely.
00:19:27Where are you off to, dressed so casually?
00:19:31I'm returning a lost mobile.
00:19:33Oh, why don't you have another star to do it?
00:19:35I'm sure...
00:19:35No, no, no, no, no.
00:19:36I'd rather do it myself.
00:19:38Why?
00:19:39That's not the sort of thing a prince should be doing.
00:19:41That's why.
00:19:42I...
00:19:43I like the idea of doing things regular people do.
00:19:48Yes, but we're not regular people.
00:19:50Doesn't that bother you a little?
00:19:52No, not in the slightest.
00:19:54Hmm.
00:20:01Well, I like the idea of being regular every now and then.
00:20:07See you at lunch?
00:20:08Yes.
00:20:14Lady Isabel will be here in a couple of hours.
00:20:16Mmm!
00:20:18Lady Isabel, that is so cool.
00:20:20See, I knew it would just take someone with taste seeing your work.
00:20:23Oh, she definitely has taste.
00:20:25She is so elegant.
00:20:26I feel like a bull in a china shop around her.
00:20:28Did you even see the prince?
00:20:29No.
00:20:30Abigail didn't let me come out front by the time they left.
00:20:33Well, maybe he'll come with her.
00:20:35Mmm.
00:20:35Mm-hmm.
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:39We need to straighten up.
00:20:42Yeah, it might just be easier if we moved.
00:20:46Oh, oh, ow.
00:20:47Kitchen.
00:20:59Are you sure you don't want me to return the phone, Your Highness?
00:21:02No, this will just take a minute.
00:21:15You were right.
00:21:16We meet again, and I am indeed embarrassed.
00:21:19This isn't precisely what I meant, but...
00:21:22Hello?
00:21:25Oh, Doris, this is Jeff.
00:21:27Um, Jeff, this is my roommate, Doris.
00:21:29Lovely to meet you.
00:21:30Hmm.
00:21:31Why do you look so familiar?
00:21:34You must have been in a magazine or something.
00:21:36I've been in a few years.
00:21:39Well, that must be it then.
00:21:41Anyway, thank you again for returning this.
00:21:44Can I give you a reward or something?
00:21:46No, no, it's not necessary.
00:21:47You came all the way down here.
00:21:49Really, it was no bother.
00:21:52Maybe you could buy him a cup of coffee.
00:21:56We need to get our place ready for our visitor, remember?
00:21:59Well, I can take care of that, and you want a cup of coffee, don't you, Jeff?
00:22:04As a matter of fact, I do.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11I shall get my coat then.
00:22:15Oh, yeah.
00:22:16I'll need to help you.
00:22:22You know that this is just me saying thank you.
00:22:25We're not...
00:22:26Oh, no, of course not.
00:22:30Besides, I'm seeing someone, so no ulterior motives.
00:22:34Okay.
00:22:36Doris, I'll see you later.
00:22:39Lovely to meet you.
00:22:39You too.
00:22:40Have fun.
00:22:44Oh, my.
00:22:47Okay.
00:23:05Pick up.
00:23:06Pick up, pick up.
00:23:07Pick up.
00:23:12Okay.
00:23:13Oh, my gosh.
00:23:24There you go.
00:23:32This is good coffee.
00:23:34I'll have to remember this place.
00:23:36Well, there's one on, like, every four blocks, so it won't be hard.
00:23:41Shall we sit?
00:23:45Sure.
00:23:53We don't have these back at all.
00:23:55You don't?
00:23:57I thought you were from Britain.
00:23:58Your accent.
00:23:59No.
00:24:00No, I'm from a small country in Europe.
00:24:04Most people have never heard of it.
00:24:05I'm only in New York for a short while.
00:24:07Oh, well.
00:24:09How are you liking it so far?
00:24:10I love it.
00:24:11It's so energetic and colorful.
00:24:15There's just so much to do.
00:24:16Why, yesterday, I took the subway.
00:24:22You've never ridden the subway?
00:24:24No.
00:24:24It was amazing.
00:24:27It was a little crowded, and there were some unusual smells.
00:24:32But besides that, it was quite an adventure.
00:24:36It can be.
00:24:37Maybe next time you can take a cab.
00:24:40So, what is it like working in fashion?
00:24:44It seems so glamorous.
00:24:46I'm just an assistant, so I haven't really experienced the glamour part of it all yet.
00:24:52Yet?
00:24:52What are your aspirations?
00:24:54I want to be a designer.
00:24:57I mean, I am a designer.
00:24:59I just haven't had much success in it yet.
00:25:01But I'm hoping that that's all about to change.
00:25:04Really?
00:25:04I have this amazing opportunity.
00:25:06I don't want to talk too much about it, because I don't want to jinx it, but it could really
00:25:10be a new beginning for me.
00:25:12That's exciting.
00:25:13You're not as exciting as riding the subway.
00:25:16No.
00:25:17No, it's not.
00:25:21So, you said you're seeing somebody?
00:25:23Yes.
00:25:24For a couple years now.
00:25:26I'm serious.
00:25:27Yes.
00:25:28There may be an engagement soon.
00:25:31Really?
00:25:32You decided how you're going to pop the question?
00:25:34It's actually been decided for me.
00:25:37How does that happen?
00:25:39It's a tradition of sorts.
00:25:41All the men in my family have proposed just before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
00:25:46Really?
00:25:46That's so romantic.
00:25:48It's supposed to symbolize a fresh start.
00:25:51A new beginning, so to speak.
00:25:53Two lives become one.
00:25:55That's crazy romantic.
00:25:58Totally stealing that when I get engaged.
00:26:01Is that happening soon?
00:26:02Considering I'm not even dating anybody, no.
00:26:06Not this New Year's Eve, that's for sure.
00:26:08There will be more.
00:26:10You know, I hear they have one every year.
00:26:15Well, this is me.
00:26:17So, thank you for rescuing my phone, which I must have left upstairs.
00:26:23I'd leave that everywhere.
00:26:24It's like a sickness.
00:26:25I really need help.
00:26:26Perhaps that could be your New Year's resolution.
00:26:28You know, it's almost as good as getting engaged at the stroke of midnight.
00:26:32Thanks again.
00:26:34Good luck, Geoffrey.
00:26:35Isabel, what are you doing here?
00:26:37Well, I told you I was meeting with the designer, Caitlin.
00:26:40Wait, you're...
00:26:41Is everything all right, Your Highness?
00:26:44Hiya?
00:26:45He's the Prince.
00:26:46He's the...
00:26:47He's the Prince.
00:26:56Oh, Geoffrey.
00:26:58You should be ashamed of yourself for not telling her who you really are.
00:27:01I know.
00:27:02I'm truly sorry.
00:27:04No problem.
00:27:05Your...
00:27:06Excellency?
00:27:09You call him Your Highness.
00:27:11Please, just call me Geoffrey.
00:27:12Not Geoff?
00:27:14Um, no.
00:27:15Geoff is busy with his modelling career.
00:27:18You'll have to forgive him.
00:27:20He enjoys his anonymity here.
00:27:22Perhaps a little too much.
00:27:24Certainly.
00:27:24Anyway, I believe it's fate bringing us all together.
00:27:28Caitlin, your designs are lovely.
00:27:30Oh, thank you, Doris.
00:27:31You're welcome, Your Highness.
00:27:32Oh, uh, your soon-to-be Highness?
00:27:34Lady Isabella is just fine.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:38Oh.
00:27:40Oh, this is it.
00:27:44Elegant and romantic.
00:27:46I love it.
00:27:47You really like that one?
00:27:48I do.
00:27:49I love it.
00:27:50It would make me feel like a princess.
00:27:52Metaphorically speaking, of course.
00:27:54What do you need to have it done by New Year's Eve?
00:27:56Doris, would you help?
00:27:58Make a dress for a lady?
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:01Yes.
00:28:02Great.
00:28:03Well, then we just need to talk measurements and fabric.
00:28:05I believe that's our cue, Barnaby.
00:28:07Yes, Your Highness.
00:28:11Isabelle, I'll see you at lunch.
00:28:13All right, darling.
00:28:15Again, I'm sorry.
00:28:17You did warn me not to be embarrassed.
00:28:24Okay, let's get started.
00:28:26I will grab the measuring tape.
00:28:27All right.
00:28:28And...
00:28:28Yes.
00:28:34Well, it's official.
00:28:36Isabelle's going to wear Caitlin's dress.
00:28:39Mom, it's okay.
00:28:41No, it is not okay.
00:28:43This is your opportunity, not Caitlin's.
00:28:47She stole your shot.
00:28:48She didn't steal anything.
00:28:51Lady Isabelle liked her dress.
00:28:52And I don't blame her.
00:28:54It was beautiful.
00:28:55I am the editor-in-chief of one of the leading fashion magazines in the world.
00:28:58I decide what is beautiful and what isn't.
00:29:02Well, there's nothing we can do about it now because she's already made up her mind.
00:29:10Well, maybe we can get her to change her mind.
00:29:14Especially if Caitlin can't deliver.
00:29:16I hate it when your eyes do that.
00:29:18It usually means you're plotting something.
00:29:21You know, it's going to take a lot of work helping the prince and Lady Isabelle plan the New Year's
00:29:27Eve party.
00:29:27Far too much work for me by myself.
00:29:32But, luckily, I have an assistant.
00:29:35But, Mom, if you load Caitlin up with party planning, then she's never going to be able to work on
00:29:39the dress.
00:29:54Yes, sure, but...
00:29:56Okay, but...
00:29:59Happy to do it.
00:30:01Now I have to find the New Year's Eve party, too.
00:30:03What?
00:30:03Why?
00:30:04Because Abigail says so.
00:30:06I'm supposed to meet the prince and Lady Isabelle this afternoon for a catering audition.
00:30:10Okay, free food and a handsome prince.
00:30:13I'm sorry, what's her problem again?
00:30:14He didn't tell me that he was a prince.
00:30:17Princes should be required to identify themselves.
00:30:20They should have to wear, like, a name tag or a badge.
00:30:23He did say he was sorry.
00:30:24What if I said something that would have caused an international incident,
00:30:26and now I need to work on the party with him?
00:30:29How am I supposed to do that and get the dress ready in time?
00:30:32We'll figure it out.
00:30:33This is crazy.
00:30:34Yesterday I was living a normal life, and now today I'm somehow mixed up with royalty?
00:30:39Well, if it's a choice between royalty and normal, I'll choose royalty any day.
00:30:43You don't know that.
00:30:45Yeah, I do.
00:30:46Royalty comes with a castle.
00:30:56I'm officially addicted to this coffee, and it is all your fault.
00:31:01Thank you, your highness.
00:31:03Jeffrey is fine.
00:31:05Is Lady Isabelle coming?
00:31:07No, we're dividing and conquering.
00:31:09It was this or choosing centerpieces, and I thought food was much more in my wheelhouse.
00:31:22That is wonderful.
00:31:24You don't get out much, do you?
00:31:27I told you.
00:31:28It's fine.
00:31:29Tell me it was because you were a prince.
00:31:32Yes, but remember, you said you wouldn't be embarrassed.
00:31:35But I was.
00:31:37You made me feel like...
00:31:39Caitlin, I...
00:31:42I liked being just Jeff for a little while.
00:31:45Well, it was nice talking to someone who treated me as a person instead of just a prince.
00:31:52I didn't mean to hurt or embarrass you.
00:31:56I hope you can forgive me.
00:32:02Well, I presume that this is all for us.
00:32:05Yes, well, you gave us lots of options.
00:32:08It appears they gave us all options.
00:32:11Let's see what we have.
00:32:13Mera with framboi coulisse.
00:32:16Sounds interesting.
00:32:17Does it?
00:32:24Not bad?
00:32:26Nope.
00:32:28Okay, well, um, we'll put that in the maybe column.
00:32:33So, the next one.
00:32:36Artisanal seaweed and oyster croquettes.
00:32:39Sounds interesting.
00:32:54An intriguing combination.
00:32:56Do you eat fancy stuff like this all the time?
00:32:58No, no, not always.
00:33:00Last week, we had a simple duck confit with pinevill.
00:33:05That simple?
00:33:06Yes, why?
00:33:07What do you eat?
00:33:07Food?
00:33:08Like, real food?
00:33:11You know, the kind of stuff Jeff would eat.
00:33:14Yes, well, Jeff is not throwing a New Year's Eve bowl attended by people who expect fancy things like this.
00:33:21Yes, well, you know, I think deep down, everybody just wants a good, juicy hot dog.
00:33:29Hmm.
00:33:30Do you know what?
00:33:31Hmm.
00:33:32That does sound good.
00:33:35Mm-hmm.
00:33:36Ooh.
00:33:46This is remarkable.
00:33:48Right?
00:33:48That's so much better than pinevill.
00:33:51Best hot dogs in the city.
00:33:52Life-changing.
00:33:55You live in such a strange world.
00:33:57I know.
00:33:57I mean, strange to me, I just, I could never fit in with your friends.
00:34:02Most of them are hangers-on.
00:34:04They like the idea of being in proximity to royalty.
00:34:07So then why invite them to your party?
00:34:10The ball is a fundraiser for the Royal Family's Foundation.
00:34:14He sponsors scholarships and after-school programs for at-risk news.
00:34:17You'd be shocked at the statistics of it.
00:34:23Sorry.
00:34:25I've been accused of getting a little carried away when I'm talking about the Foundation.
00:34:31I think there's a difference between carried away and caring.
00:34:35I mean, you're passionate about it.
00:34:37There's nothing wrong with that.
00:34:38I love it when I get a chance to make a real difference in people's lives.
00:34:43So these hangers-on, they just write big checks to come to your party?
00:34:47Well, no.
00:34:48We auction off pieces of artwork from the Royal Collector.
00:34:51Should be arriving tomorrow.
00:34:53Really?
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:55I used to be an art teacher.
00:34:58Art teacher?
00:34:59It's a dress designer.
00:35:01I bet that's an interesting story.
00:35:02Why don't you come by the mansion tomorrow and tell me all about it?
00:35:05If a prince is asking me to do something, am I allowed to say no?
00:35:11Oh, absolutely.
00:35:13Of course, I could have you thrown into a dungeon for it, but you couldn't say no.
00:35:22I should, um, I should probably get going.
00:35:25We only have four days to get the dress ready for Lady Isabel.
00:35:28Right.
00:35:28We wouldn't want to disappoint her.
00:35:30No.
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:41Hey.
00:35:42Hey.
00:35:43How was it?
00:35:44It was not terrible.
00:35:48That's good, right?
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:52Yeah.
00:35:53It is.
00:35:55What can I do?
00:35:57Make some coffee.
00:35:58It's going to be a long night.
00:36:15Good morning.
00:36:16I'm good.
00:36:17Doing it.
00:36:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no, stop, stop.
00:36:19Oh, yeah, you're doing this wrong.
00:36:21No.
00:36:22No, I'm so sorry.
00:36:24No, it's okay.
00:36:24It's okay.
00:36:25It's an easy fix.
00:36:27Are you up all night?
00:36:28No, maybe.
00:36:31What's the date?
00:36:32It's the 28th.
00:36:34It's three days until the ball.
00:36:36Actually, that's only, like, two days until the fitting.
00:36:40There's so much to do for the party.
00:36:42There's so much to do.
00:36:43Abigail, she just keeps going.
00:36:48Keep requests.
00:36:49Like, how is this supposed to happen?
00:36:51Okay, okay.
00:36:51Caitlin, Caitlin, just relax.
00:36:53Okay, I'll call in sick to work today.
00:36:56It'll be fine.
00:36:57No, I cannot ask you to do that.
00:36:59It's okay.
00:36:59I want to.
00:37:00Unless, of course, you want to trade places, then I'll go look at fabulous works of art with
00:37:05the handsome prince.
00:37:06It's not like that.
00:37:06We're just planning a party.
00:37:08I don't care what it's like.
00:37:09In my head, this is the perfect princess fantasy.
00:37:12Only it's you instead of me.
00:37:15But I'm good with living vicariously.
00:37:17Okay, please, Doris.
00:37:19Between the dress and the party and the whole prince thing, it's stressful enough.
00:37:25Now, let's not make this something that it doesn't need to be.
00:37:27Hi.
00:37:30Abigail.
00:37:34Hello, Abigail.
00:37:37I know.
00:37:38Yep, I know.
00:37:40I know.
00:37:40Okay, I'll be right there.
00:37:44Go.
00:37:45I got this.
00:37:47Okay, I'm going.
00:37:53You know you're not actually moving, right?
00:38:05You're late.
00:38:06I know.
00:38:06I'm sorry.
00:38:07No, that's all right.
00:38:07They have just started to unpack the artwork, so...
00:38:09Caitlin, I'm not giving you too much work, am I?
00:38:12No, no, not at all.
00:38:13Everything should be done in time.
00:38:15Should be.
00:38:17Isabel, perhaps we should talk about an alternative for you.
00:38:19It will be done.
00:38:21Everything will be done in time.
00:38:23Well, what about the party?
00:38:23You're not going to drop the ball on that, are you?
00:38:25No, the music, the food, the flowers.
00:38:28And we're reviewing the artwork this morning.
00:38:30I think Caitlin has everything well in hand.
00:38:32I'm sure she does.
00:38:34Well, Abigail and I are off to find fabulous things to get with my fabulous dress.
00:38:38And afterwards, perhaps we can go over seating charts for the party.
00:38:41Sounds great.
00:38:41Wonderful.
00:38:43Let's go.
00:38:44Goodbye.
00:38:50Shall we?
00:38:51Well, we have a little time before they're ready for us to look at anything, so...
00:38:56Coffee?
00:38:57I have so much to do before the ball, I don't know that I have time for coffee.
00:39:02Well, lucky for us, the person throwing the ball does.
00:39:07Don't make me threaten you with the dungeon again.
00:39:11Coffee it is.
00:39:13Okay.
00:39:23Caitlin, you really should relax.
00:39:25It's going to work out just fine.
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29Hope so.
00:39:30You sound unsure.
00:39:33I've never made a dress for a real live human being other than myself.
00:39:36Well, I have the utmost confidence in you.
00:39:41It has to be special, you know?
00:39:44Especially if you're going to, you know...
00:39:47Ask Isabel to marry me.
00:39:49Yes.
00:39:51Fashion show the other night?
00:39:53That looks spectacular.
00:39:54Oh, yes.
00:39:55Well, Abigail does nothing less than spectacular.
00:39:57It must be real challenging working for someone so exacting.
00:40:04Exacting.
00:40:05That is a word I will have to remember.
00:40:10Now, it's not always a barrel of laughs, but I have learned so much.
00:40:15I mean, it's basically been like a crash course in fashion.
00:40:18Sometimes I feel like the crash test dummy, though.
00:40:23If it's any consolation, I feel like that most days myself.
00:40:26Oh.
00:40:28Is this that point in the conversation where the rich, handsome prince with the beautiful girlfriend is going to tell
00:40:33me how hard his life is?
00:40:34No.
00:40:35No, no, no.
00:40:36My position affords me great luxury and great reward.
00:40:39And I'm not just talking about the palaces.
00:40:41Oh, palaces.
00:40:42More than one?
00:40:44Yes.
00:40:45I can't even keep track.
00:40:49But seriously, it is an honor to be a member of the royal family.
00:40:55Many of the people of our country are hardworking, decent, generous.
00:40:58I hear a but coming.
00:41:03But a lot of things are decided for you.
00:41:06Like what?
00:41:08Like who your friends are, where you can go to school, and who you shall marry.
00:41:13Excuse me, your highness.
00:41:15There's a call from your father.
00:41:17Take a message.
00:41:19You want me to take a message from the king?
00:41:21Yes, I do.
00:41:26May I take a message, your majesty?
00:41:40I like this for you.
00:41:42Oh, that is quite pretty.
00:41:44I love when designers give me things to wear.
00:41:49What do you think about this?
00:41:54Message received.
00:41:56I just want to give you everything that you want.
00:41:59Whether it's the party or the dress.
00:42:02You seem concerned.
00:42:04Well, Caitlin's never done anything like this before.
00:42:07And it might be a good idea to have a little backup plan.
00:42:10You know, just in case.
00:42:12Oh.
00:42:13What did you have in mind?
00:42:15Oh, well, um...
00:42:17This is just off the top of my head,
00:42:18but many of the dresses in the fashion show are available.
00:42:22Maybe you could look at a few of those and see if anything might do.
00:42:25I mean, just in case something happens with Caitlin's dress.
00:42:30Well, I suppose that isn't a bad idea.
00:42:33Having a backup plan couldn't hurt.
00:42:35Exactly.
00:42:36But I'm sure that Caitlin will come through.
00:42:39It would take something quite big for me to change my mind about that dress.
00:42:50So, wait.
00:42:51The first thing you ever designed was a princess costume.
00:42:56Well, it was for the school play.
00:42:58My mother, bless her heart, she tried so hard.
00:43:00But I took one look at it and went,
00:43:01No, please, let me.
00:43:02How old were you?
00:43:04Uh, six.
00:43:05Brilliant.
00:43:06So that made you want to become a designer?
00:43:09Well, it primarily made me want to become a princess, but yeah.
00:43:13I never thought of it that way.
00:43:15To me, it's always been just clothes.
00:43:18Oh, no, it's so much more than that.
00:43:19Fashion is about expressing ourselves from the inside by what we wear on the outside.
00:43:24So, if fashion was your calling, why the detour into art?
00:43:29I was young and felt like I needed a backup plan.
00:43:33Before I knew it, that backup plan had taken over.
00:43:37So then one day you just decided to change your whole life?
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Believe it or not, it was part of a New Year's resolution.
00:43:45Really?
00:43:46Mm-hmm.
00:43:46You're kidding.
00:43:47No.
00:43:48It was kind of one of those conflu events things.
00:43:51I had broken up with someone that I had been seeing for a while.
00:43:55Nothing dramatic.
00:43:56We just, we wanted different things.
00:43:59Then that started making me think about the other things that I wanted in my life.
00:44:04It was kind of time for a fresh start.
00:44:07I find that quite remarkable.
00:44:14But, of course, you did also say that about the hot dog.
00:44:17Pails in comparison.
00:44:18Mm-hmm.
00:44:19Oh, wow.
00:44:21I love this one.
00:44:24It is lovely.
00:44:26Here's this sort of average woman, and she's wearing this stunning gown.
00:44:30Look at the way that she's holding her face.
00:44:33Like she can't believe how beautiful she looks.
00:44:35This is how the dress made her feel.
00:44:38This is what fashion can do.
00:44:41That's her fresh start.
00:44:54I think we should go with this china.
00:44:56Okay.
00:44:59I'm not convinced about the flatware, though.
00:45:01Oh, I can have them bring in others and you can see it.
00:45:03Yes.
00:45:04Let's do that.
00:45:05Great.
00:45:06Any update on the dress?
00:45:07It will be ready for your fitting tomorrow.
00:45:09Wonderful.
00:45:09And the art auction?
00:45:11It's all set.
00:45:12The pieces are beautiful.
00:45:14Yes.
00:45:15I can't believe they're willing to give them up.
00:45:17Part of being royalty is making tough choices for the greater good.
00:45:22It certainly gives me an insight into the world that most aren't able to appreciate.
00:45:25The extent of royalty and nobility in my family ends with my Uncle Duke.
00:45:31Yes.
00:45:33Being Lady Isabel is much more than just a title I inherited.
00:45:37And should I one day be asked to join the royal family, I'll consider it a great honor.
00:45:43It's much more than just a childhood fairy tale about becoming a princess.
00:45:48I think you'll make a great princess.
00:45:52I do too.
00:45:54Now, if we could just convince Geoffrey to embrace that.
00:46:01I'm sure he will.
00:46:03Yes.
00:46:04He just needs to focus.
00:46:08Distractions are such a terrible thing.
00:46:10Don't you think?
00:46:20I thought for sure Caitlin would crack under the pressure and then I could swoop in and save the day.
00:46:25Mom, just leave it alone.
00:46:27I can't find one of my dresses that Isabel would want anyway.
00:46:30Well, keep looking.
00:46:31We have to find something that's ready to go before everything comes crashing down.
00:46:35And why would it crash down?
00:46:37Because we're going to give it a little push.
00:46:40Mom, why is this so important to you?
00:46:43Leighton, why isn't this more important to you?
00:46:45Because I want to succeed or fail on my own merits, not because my mother is playing puppet master.
00:46:52My darling, this is a cutthroat business.
00:46:55I am just trying to provide a few advantages.
00:46:57And I appreciate that.
00:46:59But just don't do anything too crazy.
00:47:03I will be the very picture of restraint.
00:47:06Just a little push.
00:47:09Oh, let me see.
00:47:13Hey, this could work.
00:47:17Okay, I've got a couple hours so I need to get back to the mansion.
00:47:22What can I do?
00:47:23Go take a nap.
00:47:24You must be exhausted.
00:47:26It's two days until the ball.
00:47:27I can sleep next year.
00:47:29Okay, grab some beads.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:33Oh, wow.
00:47:34This is beautiful.
00:47:36Well, it's a beautiful design.
00:47:39You know, you and Lady Isabella are almost exactly the same measurements.
00:47:44You should ask for it back after the ball and you can wear it.
00:47:46Where would I wear a dress like this?
00:47:49Yoga?
00:47:50This would be a great yoga dress.
00:47:54No.
00:47:55This dress is definitely made for a princess.
00:48:03Hello, Abigail.
00:48:05Yes, but I'm supposed to...
00:48:08Right, but now?
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:13Okay, I'll be right there.
00:48:16Now there's an emergency at the office with the next issue.
00:48:18I have to go in.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20You know she's trying to overwhelm you, right?
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:28Now what?
00:48:34Jeffy, what are you doing here?
00:48:36I'm on the way to review the auction brochures.
00:48:39Abigail suggested you should join me.
00:48:41Unless you are sick of me by now.
00:48:44No, I couldn't get sick of you.
00:48:48But I can't.
00:48:49Abigail is making me go into work.
00:48:51She said she wanted you to sign off on the brochures personally.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:58Would you be able to bring them by the office for me to review?
00:49:00I would.
00:49:01Okay, great.
00:49:02Doris, do you need anything?
00:49:03If I do, I can handle it.
00:49:05Would it help if Barnaby stayed here in case a need arises?
00:49:08That would be amazing if Barnaby doesn't mind.
00:49:12If that's what you want, Your Highness, the driver can take you wherever you need to go.
00:49:17Or, if all else fails, I'm an old pro at the subway now.
00:49:22Well, thank you again, Barnaby.
00:49:24And Doris, if you need anything, please call.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:37Well, that was interesting.
00:49:40Quite.
00:49:49Okay, so do you see any other problems?
00:49:53No.
00:49:54Excellent work.
00:49:55I never would have seen half of those errors.
00:49:58I work in a magazine.
00:49:59It's my job.
00:50:01Well, thank you.
00:50:02You have gone above and beyond on everything.
00:50:06You've been so kind and supportive.
00:50:11You and Isabel, of course.
00:50:15You know, I never really did hear how the two of you met.
00:50:19We were introduced at a ceremony.
00:50:22I can't remember what for.
00:50:26Monarchies love their ceremonies.
00:50:28Oh, yes.
00:50:28Well, they have to use all those scepters.
00:50:31Yes.
00:50:35Anyway, she heard that one of our board members was planning on stepping down and was interested in taking over
00:50:41his place.
00:50:42That sounds really nice.
00:50:44Isabel is a lovely woman, and I care for her DP.
00:50:50I feel like there's a buck coming.
00:50:52My father has decided it's time for him to step down.
00:50:56And for me to take over the throne.
00:51:01However, he insists that I'm married first.
00:51:07What do you want?
00:51:13Shall I escort you out now?
00:51:15Oh, no.
00:51:15You don't have to do that.
00:51:17It's no bother.
00:51:18Well, I need to retrieve Barnaby anyway.
00:51:21Right.
00:51:22Well, in that case.
00:51:39You know, you can sit down if you want, Barnaby.
00:51:41Thank you, miss.
00:51:42I'm fine.
00:51:43How do you do that?
00:51:45Do what, miss?
00:51:46Just stand there.
00:51:48Quietly, not moving.
00:51:50I've had a lot of practice, miss.
00:51:52How long have you worked for the prince?
00:51:54I joined the employee of the royal family when Prince Geoffrey was ten years old.
00:51:59Wow, that's a long time.
00:52:02You must know him pretty well.
00:52:04I'd say so, yes.
00:52:06Seems like a good guy.
00:52:08Yes, he is.
00:52:11And Miss Caitlyn seems quite lovely as well.
00:52:14She is.
00:52:16She's the best.
00:52:19Shall I?
00:52:21Sure, go for it.
00:52:29Barnaby.
00:52:29Hello, Miss Miller.
00:52:31Abigail.
00:52:32Hello, Doris.
00:52:33I came to talk to Caitlyn about the party planning.
00:52:35Well, I thought she was at the office with you.
00:52:39Is this Isabel's dress?
00:52:40Yeah, it's not done yet, but that's...
00:52:43She's going to love it.
00:52:49Is that the prince I see?
00:52:52Where?
00:52:53Right there, to the right.
00:52:55I don't see him.
00:52:57I'm sure it's him.
00:52:59Over to the right.
00:53:01I don't think so.
00:53:05Well, maybe I was mistaken.
00:53:08Would you just tell Caitlyn that I will speak to her tomorrow?
00:53:18It's only a couple of days until the New Year.
00:53:20Do you have any resolutions?
00:53:23I want to make sure that the foundation is in good shape.
00:53:26Of course, there will be a wedding to plan.
00:53:31Right.
00:53:32What about you?
00:53:33What are your resolutions?
00:53:34Well, I have a few.
00:53:36A million.
00:53:37How about top three?
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:41I want to take more chances.
00:53:45Because quitting your art teacher job to pursue a dream career was playing it safe?
00:53:50See, that's the thing.
00:53:52You know, I did that, and then I started another job that wasn't actually what I wanted.
00:53:57I didn't really start taking chances until...
00:54:02Until when?
00:54:06Until you and Isabel, Kim.
00:54:09Now my design is going to be worn by nobility and featured on the cover of a magazine.
00:54:15What are your other resolutions?
00:54:17The usual.
00:54:18Friendship, love.
00:54:21Silly stuff.
00:54:22Love is not silly.
00:54:24Not if you're doing it correctly, at least.
00:54:27It should be exciting and unexpected.
00:54:32It should come out of nowhere.
00:54:35I hope that'll happen for me someday.
00:54:40I hope so, too.
00:54:53Mom, I got your message.
00:54:54What's going on?
00:54:55Come look.
00:54:59What?
00:55:00Is that Caitlin's dress?
00:55:02The one and only.
00:55:03Until now.
00:55:06What are you talking about?
00:55:09What is the biggest sin in the world of exclusive, one-of-a-kind fashions?
00:55:13That they're not one-of-a-kind.
00:55:16Exactly.
00:55:18So what?
00:55:18You're going to have someone make a duplicate?
00:55:20How are you going to do that in two days?
00:55:22We don't have to.
00:55:23We just have to make people think there's another dress.
00:55:26I have someone in the art department working on it,
00:55:28and when they're done, nobody's going to know it isn't real.
00:55:31Okay, I still don't understand.
00:55:34Then we'll have someone publish the photo,
00:55:36and it won't be one-of-a-kind anymore.
00:55:39And Isabel won't want it.
00:55:42And we'll have a Leighton Miller original ready to take its place.
00:55:46Mom, do you remember when I said don't do anything too crazy?
00:55:49Leighton, I am just trying to help you launch your career.
00:55:54Mom, this is not the way I want to become successful.
00:55:58I could never live with myself.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:06You promise?
00:56:09No more cartoon villain plots?
00:56:13I promise.
00:56:35Um, well, have a good evening.
00:56:41You too.
00:56:47Bonnaby, shall we?
00:57:04Let's get to work.
00:57:07What was that?
00:57:09What was that?
00:57:11The whole...
00:57:12Have a good evening, man.
00:57:13Well, you too, and let's both stare at the floor uncomfortably thing that just happened.
00:57:18It didn't happen.
00:57:20Uh, yeah.
00:57:21It really did.
00:57:23Okay, well, maybe spending so much time with him has made it easy to forget that he might be proposing
00:57:30to another woman in 48 hours.
00:57:33You're falling in love with him.
00:57:35I'm not.
00:57:37I'm just...
00:57:37Caitlin, I saw how you were looking at him earlier.
00:57:40No, see, that's the thing.
00:57:42I can't do that.
00:57:43It's not right.
00:57:44He was looking at you the same way.
00:57:47Don't say that.
00:57:48Why not?
00:57:49Because he's dating Isabel.
00:57:52And he may be asking her to marry him.
00:57:54But what if he doesn't?
00:57:56Doris, he's a prince.
00:57:58He's gonna be king.
00:57:59I don't fit in that world.
00:58:01It's a fairy tale, and fairy tales don't exist.
00:58:04Okay, so you're not falling in love with him, but do you like him?
00:58:09It doesn't matter.
00:58:11Because it's not gonna be me that he's kissing at midnight on New Year's Eve.
00:58:31Is there anything I can do to help with whatever may be troubling you, Your Highness?
00:58:35What makes you think something's troubling me, Barnaby?
00:58:39Because I've known you since you were a child.
00:58:42If I may say so, Your Highness, you've never been very good at disguising your feelings.
00:58:47Something that's landed me in a spot of trouble more than a few times.
00:58:51Do you remember when you were 16, the incident with the car?
00:58:56The one I took without permission and proceeded to knock down an 18th century statue with?
00:59:01That would be the one.
00:59:03I have a vague recollection, yes.
00:59:07What I remember is the look on your face the next time you were driven somewhere.
00:59:11Even though you were traveling in a way that a person of your station is expected to,
00:59:16it's not what you wanted.
00:59:18You wanted to do it your way.
00:59:20Yes, that's true.
00:59:23But look how that turned out.
00:59:25Maybe it was worth the risk?
00:59:28The statue of my great-great-grandfather would likely disagree.
00:59:33If Caitlyn is the...
00:59:34She is.
00:59:36But when I took that car for a drive,
00:59:40somebody could have gotten really hurt.
00:59:43It's not worth the risk.
01:00:09It's not worth it.
01:00:12Please, thank you.
01:00:48It's perfect.
01:00:50Isabel, you look radiant.
01:00:52I do, don't I?
01:00:53Bravo, Lady Isabel.
01:00:56Thank you, Barnaby. But the real cheers go to Caitlin.
01:00:59Oh, I couldn't have done it without Doris.
01:01:01Well, you both deserve the credit. I couldn't be happier.
01:01:04We still have a few small tweaks to make. Let me mark it.
01:01:07They'll be done in time for the party tomorrow.
01:01:09Oh yeah, this is easy stuff.
01:01:10We'll do this, we'll have it cleaned, and then we'll deliver it in the morning.
01:01:13Oh, wonderful.
01:01:15This is the start of big things for you, I predict.
01:01:21Just excuse me, I'll be right back.
01:01:42Caitlin?
01:01:47Are you okay?
01:01:49I'm fine, I'm sorry. I just got a little...
01:01:52Dreams don't come true very often, so...
01:01:55It's just a bit overwhelming.
01:01:56If you're overwhelmed by this, imagine what it'll be like when everyone at the party sees the dress.
01:02:01We may have to reassign Barnaby to be your bodyguard.
01:02:07Right, um...
01:02:08About that...
01:02:11I don't think that going to the party is a great idea for me.
01:02:14Nonsense.
01:02:16You've arranged the entire gala.
01:02:18The staff can run it, and Abigail will be here to make sure.
01:02:21But when your dress makes its debut, everyone will want to speak to you.
01:02:25You will be the center of attention.
01:02:27Yeah, but I shouldn't be.
01:02:28You and Isabel should be.
01:02:31You know, especially if you're going to...
01:02:35Ask her to marry me.
01:02:38Are you going to ask her?
01:02:40Well, it certainly is what everyone's expecting me to do, right?
01:02:45I think that being there would be very hard for me.
01:02:52You're still talking about the dress.
01:02:56Of course we are.
01:02:59And there's nothing else we could be talking about, right?
01:03:02I suppose not.
01:03:04It's a shame.
01:03:05Really.
01:03:07You know, look on the bright side.
01:03:10You got to ride the subway.
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:14Yes, yes, I did.
01:03:15And I had a delicious hot dog.
01:03:17Life-changing, I told you.
01:03:18And what was that cheese on top?
01:03:20No.
01:03:20No one knows.
01:03:21It is best not to ask questions like that.
01:03:25Where did Caitlin go?
01:03:27I wanted to ask her about the bowl.
01:03:29Oh, I think she just stepped up to get some air.
01:03:31Oh, is she all right?
01:03:33Oh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
01:03:34These last few days have been great for her.
01:03:37I don't think I've ever seen her this happy.
01:03:39Because of the dress?
01:03:40Yeah.
01:03:41Yes.
01:03:43Because of the dress.
01:03:45Okay.
01:03:46I've got what I need.
01:03:48We'll see you tomorrow.
01:03:50Oh, I'll walk you down.
01:03:51Oh, okay.
01:03:54I demand an answer to this cheese mystery.
01:03:57I could threaten to throw someone in the dungeon if I must.
01:04:00You throw a lot of people in dungeons, do you?
01:04:02Yes, it's amazing.
01:04:03Everybody loves it in my country.
01:04:05There you are.
01:04:06Ah, Isabel, we were just...
01:04:09Thank you again, Caitlin.
01:04:10The dress is simply beautiful.
01:04:12You're welcome.
01:04:13We should get going.
01:04:14Okay, I'll be back this afternoon to go over the placements of the artwork.
01:04:18That's all right, Caitlin.
01:04:19I can take care of it.
01:04:20Why don't you focus on the dress?
01:04:24Okay.
01:04:24I will do.
01:04:25Just give a call if you need anything.
01:04:36You know, Isabel, I could take care of all the details of the ball if you...
01:04:41No, no.
01:04:41We must make sure everything is perfect before my mother and your father arrive.
01:04:48Isabel, I would have thought that by now you would have learned that when it comes to our parents,
01:04:52there is no such thing as perfection.
01:04:55Still, I'll handle it from here on.
01:04:58You need to focus.
01:05:00On what?
01:05:01The future.
01:05:03Our future.
01:05:05This could be a very important evening for us, Geoffrey.
01:05:08Yes, I suppose you're right.
01:05:10You're going to be a king someday.
01:05:12And when that happens, you'll need someone by your side to support you.
01:05:18Someone that is acquainted with that world.
01:05:21Someone who is not all starry-eyed over the fairytale fantasy of a happily ever after.
01:05:27But don't you want fairytale?
01:05:29Don't you want happily ever after?
01:05:31What I want is you.
01:05:33The real you.
01:05:36I know you've been enjoying your anonymity while we've been here in New York.
01:05:41But it's time to say goodbye to Geoff.
01:05:44And return to who you really are.
01:05:47Prince Geoffrey.
01:05:51You know I only want what's best for you.
01:05:55I care about you.
01:05:57You always say that.
01:06:00What?
01:06:01That we care for each other.
01:06:03Well, it's true, isn't it?
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:05Yes, yes, of course it is.
01:06:08But, I just sometimes wonder why we don't say we love each other more often.
01:06:19I'll be in my room if you need me.
01:06:21Alright.
01:06:31That is a really beautiful dress.
01:06:34You said that like ten times in the last hour.
01:06:36It doesn't make it any less true.
01:06:40Are you really not going to go to the party?
01:06:43I haven't decided yet.
01:06:45Will Abigail even let you not go to the party?
01:06:48I'm sure she'd love the opportunity to be in the spotlight.
01:06:52Well, you know I love you.
01:06:54And if you don't want to go to the glamorous Royal New Year's Eve party,
01:06:58then I support you 100%.
01:07:01But I am totally going without you.
01:07:05I wouldn't have it any other way.
01:07:12Who could that be?
01:07:14Oh, I hope it's another prince.
01:07:16Does Geoffrey have a brother?
01:07:18As a matter of fact, he does.
01:07:20Really? So, you mean I still have a shot at becoming a princess?
01:07:24Is he single?
01:07:25No, my other son is married with two children.
01:07:28Your other son?
01:07:30Yes, Peter. That would be Geoffrey's brother.
01:07:34So, that would make you...
01:07:35King Richard.
01:07:45I apologize for the on-announced visit.
01:07:47Barnaby told me where to find you,
01:07:49and I thought it best to expedite a conversation.
01:07:51Oh, it's okay.
01:07:53It's not every day that a king shows up at your doorstep.
01:07:56Well, I hope you don't mind talking here.
01:07:59Oh, not at all.
01:08:00You know, it's probably best we keep Doris away from you.
01:08:02She gets a little excited around royalty.
01:08:05Yes, I gathered that after she attempted to kiss my ring.
01:08:09Sorry.
01:08:10I'll get straight to the point.
01:08:12I came to New York a little early after a call from Lady Isabel.
01:08:16About what?
01:08:17Well, she's concerned that your relationship with Geoffrey
01:08:20may be complicating things between them.
01:08:22No, your-your majesty, it's-it's not like that at all.
01:08:26We've just been planning the New Year's Eve all together.
01:08:28That is-that is it.
01:08:29So, you don't have feelings for Geoffrey, then?
01:08:34The more pressing question, of course, is whether those feelings are reciprocal.
01:08:48Geoffrey is a good man, and he's going to ask Lady Isabel to marry him tomorrow night as well.
01:08:55Good. I'm pleased to hear it.
01:08:57Can I ask you a question?
01:09:00Of course.
01:09:02Have you been happy?
01:09:05As king?
01:09:07Leading a nation is about tradition, humility, sacrifice.
01:09:13These are things that last a lifetime.
01:09:18Happiness can be measured in moments.
01:09:23Happiness is fleeting.
01:09:25Doesn't that mean we should hold on to those moments for as long as we can?
01:09:34It has been very nice meeting you, Caitlin.
01:09:37It has been a pleasure meeting you, your majesty.
01:10:04Hello, Father.
01:10:04Oh, Geoffrey.
01:10:07You weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow.
01:10:09Yes, well, I thought I'd come a little early.
01:10:11Make sure things are still on track.
01:10:13Why wouldn't they be?
01:10:15I spoke with Caitlin Enderby a little while ago.
01:10:18You-you did what, sir?
01:10:20All right.
01:10:21Relax, Geoffrey.
01:10:23I didn't banish her from the kingdom.
01:10:24We just talked.
01:10:25About what?
01:10:27The nature of happiness, it seems.
01:10:29What?
01:10:30Never mind.
01:10:31She seems like a lovely young woman.
01:10:33She is.
01:10:34And if circumstances were different, then perhaps...
01:10:39Look, I have been a king for a very long time.
01:10:42I was 18 when your grandfather passed away.
01:10:44I know.
01:10:45It's in the history books.
01:10:47Yes.
01:10:47I prefer not to be carried off the throne.
01:10:49I would prefer to step down gracefully.
01:10:52But in order to do that, I need to know that my successor is ready to step up.
01:10:56I know all this, Father.
01:10:57Having a stable king is very important to the country.
01:11:00That's why I married your mother so soon after I became king.
01:11:03And I learned to love her.
01:11:05You don't need to convince me, Father.
01:11:07I'm prepared to step up.
01:11:10But Father, if circumstances were different...
01:11:25Your life is so weird.
01:11:28I know.
01:11:29I mean, it would be so much easier if I thought that Jeffrey would be happy, but...
01:11:34He doesn't love her.
01:11:37I don't think she loves him either.
01:11:38Well then, do something about it.
01:11:41What can I do?
01:11:42Tell him that you're in love with him.
01:11:44I've known him for four days.
01:11:45I'm not in love with him.
01:11:46Okay, well then, tell him that you're falling in love with him.
01:11:49Tell him that you think he's your soulmate.
01:11:52Tell him that you want to live happily ever after with him because...
01:11:56You can't deny that any of that's true.
01:11:59Even if it's true, it doesn't matter.
01:12:03Happily ever afters don't exist and I don't believe in fairy tales.
01:12:09Look at that dress.
01:12:11That is a fairy tale waiting to come true.
01:12:15But not for me.
01:12:20I'm sorry about my father.
01:12:23Oh.
01:12:23Don't worry about it.
01:12:25I'm just looking out for you.
01:12:27Stop.
01:12:28Stu.
01:12:29Caitlin.
01:12:30Are you sure everything's ready for the pool tomorrow, since you won't be there?
01:12:34Oh, I'm sure.
01:12:35It's going to be wonderful.
01:12:38Well then, thank you for everything.
01:12:41Oh, thank you.
01:12:43Isabel, we have a huge problem.
01:12:45What's wrong?
01:12:46Look familiar?
01:12:50That's my dress.
01:12:52No, it...
01:12:53Can't be.
01:12:54Obviously it is.
01:12:56Caitlin stole someone's design and she's trying to pass it off as her own.
01:13:00But no, that's...
01:13:00That's not true.
01:13:01I'm wrong.
01:13:02I am so sorry.
01:13:03But it appears that you are a victim of a hoax.
01:13:06Caitlin.
01:13:07No, I swear to you, Isabelle, this is my design.
01:13:10Just...
01:13:11Stop the act.
01:13:12No one's buying it.
01:13:13There must be some kind of explanation.
01:13:16I don't understand what's happened, but it has.
01:13:20Isabelle, if you'll just give Caitlin a chance to...
01:13:22I'm sorry.
01:13:23The idea was to have something original.
01:13:25And regardless of the circumstances, I can't wear this.
01:13:28Well, luckily you have a backup.
01:13:31You have a Leighton Miller original.
01:13:33Would you like to go try it on now?
01:13:37Oh, and Caitlin?
01:13:39You're fired.
01:13:48Geoffrey, I didn't steal that design.
01:13:50I believe you.
01:13:51You do?
01:13:52Of course.
01:13:53This dress could only have come from you.
01:13:58I'm sorry.
01:14:06Your Highness.
01:14:07Don't try to stop me, Barnaby.
01:14:09I wasn't.
01:14:10I was going to wish you luck.
01:14:15You're going to look amazing in that.
01:14:17Well, I suppose it's good enough.
01:14:20I need to speak to Isabelle.
01:14:22Oh, well, we were just talking...
01:14:24I don't know what just happened, but I am certain that you were behind it.
01:14:27I suggest you leave quickly before I call the Royal Guard to have you arrested.
01:14:38The Royal Guard can't arrest anyone in this country.
01:14:41I assumed that she wouldn't know that.
01:14:44Well played.
01:14:46Considering the circumstances, I think we should go double check all the arrangements Caitlin made.
01:14:51I don't think that will be necessary.
01:14:53Geoffrey, I know the two of you became friends over the last few days, but we must ensure that everything
01:15:01goes smoothly tonight.
01:15:05I'm not going to ask you to marry me.
01:15:14What?
01:15:14Isabelle, what just happened?
01:15:16Geoffrey, I can't wear that dress.
01:15:18It's not about the dress.
01:15:19It's not about Caitlin, for that matter.
01:15:21It's about us.
01:15:23You and me.
01:15:24Are you breaking up with me?
01:15:32Isabelle, I'm sorry.
01:15:33But what about the throne?
01:15:35Your father will never accept this.
01:15:37Then I'll give up the throne.
01:15:38Geoffrey!
01:15:39Isabelle, you just called the dress good enough.
01:15:44None of this is good enough.
01:15:46And yes, we care about each other, but I don't love you.
01:15:52And I don't think that you love me, either.
01:15:57I know that I can't just be a regular person, but if happily ever after exists, then I want to
01:16:06find it.
01:16:26Doris, I need to speak to Caitlin.
01:16:28It's too late.
01:16:30What do you mean?
01:16:31She's gone.
01:16:33She took a bunch of her stuff and left.
01:16:35Gone where?
01:16:37She went to go stay with her folks.
01:16:39I don't think she's coming back.
01:16:43I see.
01:16:47Well, if you speak to her, tell her.
01:16:53Tell her thank you for the hot dogs.
01:16:56They were indeed life-changing.
01:17:17What does that mean?
01:17:20It means goodbye.
01:17:25Come here.
01:17:26Come here.
01:17:40Barnaby, I'm going to spend some time with the staff to make sure everything's in place for the ball this
01:17:45evening.
01:17:45Yes, Your Highness.
01:17:47Your father has gone out.
01:17:48He asked me to tell you he wishes to speak to you when he returns.
01:17:51Right.
01:17:52Yes.
01:17:53Is it childish of me to put that off as long as possible?
01:17:57Not at all, Your Highness.
01:18:00And I need you to run an errand for me.
01:18:03Certainly?
01:18:04Please deliver this to Doris.
01:18:06Ask her if she'll send it to Caitlyn at her parents' home in Connecticut.
01:18:12Sir, if I may.
01:18:14Perhaps you should deliver this in person.
01:18:17Connecticut isn't far.
01:18:18I didn't get a chance to say a proper goodbye.
01:18:21I don't know if I could do that in person.
01:18:25Please, Barnaby.
01:18:41Doris ratted me out, huh?
01:18:44I promised to ask the king to make her a duchess.
01:18:49I always liked you, Barnaby.
01:18:53I, uh, have something for you.
01:18:56Great.
01:18:57Isabella's suing me?
01:18:58No, it's from...
01:19:01Miss Caitlyn, may I ask you a rather personal question?
01:19:06Sure.
01:19:07When did you realize you liked him?
01:19:13Here?
01:19:16Coffee shop after he returned my phone?
01:19:21He was telling me how you ridden the subway.
01:19:25And it was this incredible journey and so joyful.
01:19:31I thought how nice it would be to have someone that could experience that kind of joy in my life.
01:19:47What's this?
01:19:49Invitation to the boss night.
01:19:50Barnaby, I can't go to that.
01:19:52Prince Geoffrey would not be proposing to Lady Isabella tonight.
01:19:56What?
01:19:58He didn't do that because...
01:19:59No, no, no. It wasn't because of you.
01:20:01He did that for himself.
01:20:03And for Lady Isabella, I think.
01:20:07I'm proud of him.
01:20:09I'm happy for him.
01:20:12I still can't go to that bar.
01:20:14Why not?
01:20:15Because I like being in that world for a little.
01:20:19It's fun.
01:20:19And...
01:20:20You know, princes and kings and...
01:20:23Fairy-tale gowns made for princesses, but...
01:20:29Fairy-tales aren't real.
01:20:31They're not for people like me.
01:20:33Caitlyn.
01:20:35We are approaching the new year.
01:20:37It's a time of wishes and dreams and hopes for what lies ahead.
01:20:42Anything is possible.
01:20:44Even if I wanted to go, I don't have anything to wear.
01:20:47You designed a dress fit for a princess.
01:20:52It would be a shame for it not to be worn.
01:21:04It would be a shame for it not to be worn.
01:21:05Thank you, Barnaby.
01:21:06Can you dance?
01:21:13Hey!
01:21:17Wait.
01:21:21Let's go.
01:21:22Are you still there?
01:21:26I'm sorry.
01:21:29No.
01:21:31No.
01:21:34Here, look.
01:21:41Father.
01:21:44Jeffrey, I went to check on Isabel this morning.
01:21:47And imagine my surprise when I found out that she was not coming to the ball.
01:21:51Because you broke up with her.
01:21:52We don't love each other.
01:21:53We had a deal.
01:21:55This was part of you taking the throne.
01:21:57I don't want the throne.
01:21:58What?
01:21:58Give it to Peter.
01:22:00At least one of your sons won't be a disappointment.
01:22:02Jeffrey, you are not a disappointment.
01:22:04A frustration, perhaps, but not a disappointment.
01:22:08Is this about Caitlin?
01:22:09No.
01:22:10I mean, not like that.
01:22:12But she showed me it's not about the titles or the fancy clothes we wear.
01:22:17It's about what makes us truly happy.
01:22:19And does she make you happy?
01:22:21Very much so.
01:22:24Well, as a wise young woman once said,
01:22:28you should hold on to happiness for as long as you can.
01:22:31But the circumstances...
01:22:33Well, I created the circumstances.
01:22:36I can change them.
01:22:37Are you sure?
01:22:38I'm the king.
01:22:39I can do whatever I like.
01:22:46Your Majesty.
01:22:49Isabel.
01:22:50Jeffrey.
01:22:52Aren't you going to ask me to dance?
01:22:54For old times' sake.
01:22:55Of course.
01:22:57Yes.
01:22:58Yes.
01:22:59Yes.
01:23:00Yes.
01:23:01Yes.
01:23:01Yes.
01:23:02Yes.
01:23:02Yes.
01:23:03Yes.
01:23:05I have a New Year's resolution.
01:23:08Would you like to hear it?
01:23:09Very much so.
01:23:10I shouldn't settle for good enough anymore.
01:23:13Neither of us should.
01:23:15That's a good resolution.
01:23:17And maybe there really is a fairy tale out there waiting to come true for both of us.
01:23:21I haven't found mine yet.
01:23:23But you may have found yours.
01:23:25And I can't be the one to keep you from it.
01:23:28I care about you too much.
01:24:02You have some nerve showing up here.
01:24:05Mom.
01:24:06Leave her alone.
01:24:07Layton.
01:24:08Keitlin, I am really sorry about everything.
01:24:10She took a picture of your dress and then had the magazine's art department mock up that
01:24:13picture for the paper.
01:24:15Why are you telling me this?
01:24:17Because I'm hoping maybe you'll show me how you can come up with something so beautiful.
01:24:23And maybe give me tickets to your first show.
01:24:26You really think that I can have a show?
01:24:28Well, I know you will.
01:24:29Because Appliqué Magazine is going to sponsor it.
01:24:32Isn't that right, Mom?
01:24:33Well, I can't just...
01:24:34Mom, can you really just stand there and tell me that this dress isn't amazing?
01:24:44It's very nice.
01:24:46Thank you, Abigail.
01:24:50And if you would like your job back...
01:24:54No, but thank you.
01:24:56It's almost midnight.
01:24:58It's time for a fresh start.
01:25:08May I have this dance?
01:25:11I would love to.
01:25:13You look beautiful.
01:25:26For what?
01:25:27For helping me to believe in fairy tales again.
01:25:32What about the tradition of proposing on New Year's Eve?
01:25:35I've heard they have one every year.
01:25:38If you're not busy...
01:25:40I'm not busy.
01:25:42Six, five, four, three, two, one.
01:25:49Happy New Year!
01:26:01Happy New Year!
01:26:02Happy New Year!
01:26:03Happy New Year!
01:26:04Happy New Year!
01:26:35We're right back.
