00:00Seriously, that bodyguard dude let us in like 20 minutes ago. Where is this guy?
00:04Hannah! Excuse you, Miles Means is not a guy. He's pop star royalty.
00:09And my future husband, thank you very much.
00:11He's rude is what he is.
00:15I'm sick of this. Stay here.
00:24Oh good, you must be the stripper we ordered.
00:26A lot of time sweetheart.
00:27Oh my god!
00:37Lexus, Jesus. Miles Means, you are literally like my favorite person on this whole entire planet and
00:43I have listened to the star in your heart like 15 000 times and wow you're even cuter in person.
00:48I can't believe you're this is actually- Hey hey, deep breaths, yeah?
00:52You two must be the contest winners. Nice to meet you.
00:56Hi. Tell you what, the star in your heart was actually my producer's idea.
01:01And uh, maybe we go see him now, huh?
01:04Yeah.
01:05Okay.
01:07You knew we were the contest winners. So that whole stripper thing was what, just to mess with me?
01:13It was a joke, cheer up. Now you get to tell everyone you sat in Miles Means' lap.
01:18Right. This may come as a shock to your massive ego, but I don't actually care enough about you to
01:23talk about you.
01:24I'm here for my sister and you're going to show her a wonderful time with a nice, normal human being.
01:30Or what?
01:47Oh my god, that's Lance Carter, producer, prodigy.
01:54You're Judd Jones.
01:56Grandpa Jed.
01:57Head of security.
01:59Grandpa? You know I'm like five years older than these guys, right?
02:03Anyways, ground rules. So as contest winners, you will be spending the day with Miles,
02:08getting an inside look at the songwriting process.
02:10Lucky us.
02:11What? You don't want to get it up close and personal?
02:15I thought we were building so much cash.
02:16Uh, what were you saying?
02:18There will be no recordings, no pictures, and no touching.
02:23New protocol. I have a stalker, one of the crazy ones. Lucky me.
02:28All right, so everything understood? Yes? Great. I'll leave you to it.
02:34So that last rule, is that a part of the boys as well?
02:37You know what they say? Rules are meant to be broken.
02:40It's not. Oh.
02:42Is that broken enough for you?
02:46Funny. This house doesn't really give pop star mansion.
02:50I was expecting Miles Mayne's writing retreat would take place on a yacht or something.
02:54Not on the house in the middle of nowhere.
02:56Well, it's my granddad's place. I grew up coming here.
03:00I wanted to get back to my roots for the second album.
03:03Could we hear some? Please?
03:08Funny, uh, we- Miles, have actually been going through a little bit of a writer's block recently.
03:13How about you play something from the first album?
03:15Oh, I already told you I'm not playing that crap. No more poppy commercial bullshit.
03:19And I've already told you for the past 10 years of working with you, commercial does not equal bad.
03:24The label wants-
03:25Screw the label. I'm an artist. I'm not a product.
03:29Oh, I'm sure my sister, who was a huge fan on the first album, would really love to hear something
03:35from it.
03:36Remember what we just talked about?
03:39Uh, maybe a lesson instead?
03:41Like, I died at the harmony stack in the chorus of Honey Love Forever.
03:45Maybe you could show us how you did that.
03:48That was me, actually.
03:50Seriously? Well, you're literally a genius. I mean, the hyper-production of the backing vocals is...
03:56Chef's kiss.
03:57Nice to have someone who actually appreciates what I do.
04:00Alexis?
04:02Come on, I want to show you something.
04:04Really?
04:05Let's go.
04:07Look at that.
04:09Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you want a free lesson after you came all this way?
04:13Being gratitude.
04:14You're right. My mistake. I am so grateful to be in the presence of the genius writer who wrote the
04:20song,
04:20My heart beats deep for you, girl.
04:23See? I knew you were a fan. Come here. Make it be a lesson.
04:30Come here.
04:37I'm not a fan. You're just an egotistical psychopath who sings empty love songs to indoctrinate
04:44young women. You don't think I know your type? I go to Juilliard.
04:49Juilliard, huh? Oh. Must be an expert. What do you do, Maestro?
04:55I am a dancer. Ballet. I am actually auditioning to be Prima in my company on Friday.
05:03Yeah, well, um, I can show you my art if you show me yours.
05:14Like that?
05:15Yeah.
05:20You can show me anything you want.
05:32Pass.
05:34Uh, why don't we just try to get through this godforsaken day and then I can go back to never
05:40having to see your face ever again.
05:43Whatever you say, sweetheart.
05:54Hey!
05:56Woo! Take that.
05:57Lex, beer pong, seriously? You're not even 21.
06:00I will be in two months.
06:02You better be pinch drinking for her.
06:04Wanna play?
06:05Not with you, no.
06:07Boys will be boys.
06:09Judd always pretends like he's our babysitter.
06:12So does the gig come with bath time and bedtime stores as well, or?
06:17Uh, no, why are you offering though?
06:20So you, uh, flirting with my producer now?
06:22No, I just...
06:23Because if you want my attention, all you have to do is ask.
06:25What I want has nothing to do with you,
06:27so why don't you just mind your own business and let the adults talk?
06:30I don't look like an adult to you?
06:34When are you gonna stop trying to mess with me?
06:38You know, it's really not that cute.
06:41I think I made you laugh.
06:43I think you like it.
06:45I don't.
06:46Liar.
06:50Are you okay?
06:52Yeah.
06:54What was that?
06:56Is everyone okay?
06:58Yeah.
06:59Yeah.
06:59Yeah.
07:01All right, well, I got some bad news.
07:02We got a storm rolling in.
07:04What about our flights?
07:06No one's going anywhere.
07:07Not tonight.
07:09Guess we're stuck together?
07:11Winner.
07:12Oh my god, are we, like, in danger?
07:14Is this a killer storm kind of thing?
07:15I have to leave.
07:17I have a really important audition on Friday that I cannot miss.
07:19Save it for the pilots, sweetheart.
07:21I'm sure a rescue plane's gonna come by and save the ballerina.
07:25I really gotta leave or else I'll go into jail for attempted murder.
07:28Hannah!
07:30Look, I don't have any details, all right?
07:32But as soon as I find out something, you'll be the first to know.
07:35In the meantime, seeing as there are no hotels within a 50-mile radius, you two get comfortable.
07:48So now that we got some time to kill, does anyone want to see this guitar synth hybrid I've been
07:53working on?
07:53Love.
07:55Okay, okay.
07:58Oh wait.
08:00If you get scared of the storm, my door's open.
08:06How many times do I have to turn you down?
08:09I think I'd rather sleep outside.
08:23This is like a dream come true.
08:26More like a nightmare.
08:28Okay, listen up sister.
08:30Over the course of the next however many days we're stuck here, Miles and I are gonna fall madly in
08:35love.
08:35Got it?
08:37Sure, I can, you know, barely talk to him without feeling like I'm gonna puke butterflies,
08:42but it'll just make for good stories to tell the grandkids.
08:46Your job is to play nice with your future brother-in-law.
08:50I don't want to have to choose sides, but if it comes out to it, I might have to.
08:55What about Lance?
08:56He seems nice and you guys both know the same techno mumbo jumbo.
09:01Yeah, I mean, he's like a producing wizard, but I mean, it's Miles Mayes.
09:07Lex, I just, I don't want you to get hurt.
09:11Guys like Miles, they're all take and no give.
09:14I know, but Han, Miles isn't your loser wannabe ex-boyfriend.
09:20For one thing, he's not wannabe.
09:23Please, let me just try. For me, please, please.
09:28Fine.
09:29Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you.
09:34Alexis Mayes.
09:36Got a nice ring to it, don't you think?
09:57Can I help you?
10:00Uh, I, uh, couldn't sleep, storm. I thought I'd make some hot cocoa or something, but only it was bird
10:09food.
10:09Well, it takes a lot of work to look this good.
10:15Have a nice ring here.
10:16Oh, hot.
10:17Hey.
10:18What?
10:23What?
10:25What do we say when we want to share?
10:27Give it.
10:29No.
10:41You gonna make enough for two?
10:43What do we say when we want someone to share?
10:50Please.
11:00I know you're doing it wrong.
11:03You gotta heat it on the stove.
11:05Amateur. Let me show you how it's done.
11:12Well, you're not used to girls who don't swoon over you.
11:17Get used to it.
11:20Maybe I will.
11:33Here.
11:42Nice and slow.
11:46Stop flirting with me.
11:48You first.
11:49You're such a child.
11:51Teen idol. Arrested development. I mean, what can you do?
12:02You sure you don't want to bung with me?
12:04What did I literally just say?
12:06You're so pretty, yet so dumb.
12:10You think I'm pretty?
12:12I'm going to bed now.
12:15I bet you had a poster of me on your wall, didn't you?
12:19Good night, Miles.
12:28It doesn't even make sense why I think about you.
12:34It was only one night, only that time, and it's not my style to be caught up.

22:32Yeah, me.
22:34Okay.
22:39Ooh.
22:45Okay, hand, your turn.
22:46Yeah.
22:56Rules are rules.
22:58Really?
22:59Because I recall someone saying that rules were meant to be broken.
23:03Who?
23:04Me?
23:04Never.
23:19All right.
23:22All right.
23:26Boo.
23:27Boring.
23:47Hey, but the power went on again.
23:52Okay, um, well, there's a flashlight in the kitchen.
23:56Probably some candles upstairs, so.
23:58Uh, we'll get them.
24:06Of course, now the emergency lights come on.
24:15So, it's a pretty decent meet and greet, huh?
24:17I mean, none of these things are a total drag, but...
24:20It actually seems like you and Hannah are hanging off.
24:23What?
24:25Nah, nah, I'm just messing with her.
24:30Yeah?
24:32Is that why you look like you wanted to rip my head off when I kissed her?
24:35No, man, I just...
24:36I mean, yeah, she's hot, but...
24:39She's annoying, and...
24:40She's always making fun of me.
24:42Yeah, it sounds like she treats you like a real person and not like a god.
24:45Maybe that's a good thing, dude.
24:50Fine, so, uh, you don't mind if I make a move on her, then?
24:56Yeah.
24:57Nothing's up.
24:59Miles, I've known you since you were 12 years old.
25:00I've literally never, ever seen you look at anyone the way you look at her.
25:05Yeah.
25:05Well, I've never met anyone like her before.
25:09Is that what you want to hear?
25:12Doesn't matter.
25:13Even if I did like her, she hates my guts.
25:18She just thinks I'm some dumb, playboy, asshole, sellout guy.
25:22Miles May is doubting himself.
25:27I never thought I'd see today this girl something special, man.
25:36I'd say go for it.

29:27horrible
29:28that I dragged you into this mess of my life.

29:39failed at being a nice, normal human being.
