Short filmTranscript
00:00Why do 4 out of 5 relationships start in the most random places?
00:03Parks, stores, restaurants, and me?
00:06I'm in a non-smoking bar, dying for a cigarette.
00:10That's my client.
00:11He doesn't know it yet.
00:13Hello?
00:14Can I help you?
00:16Actually, I want to help you.
00:18Oh?
00:19How so?
00:20I know you don't want to be here.
00:21Your friends dragged you out to fix whatever mood you've been in lately.
00:24How do you know that?
00:30Take this.
00:31Buy that girl a drink.
00:32Don't make any moves.
00:33Just listen.
00:34Give her your number at the end of the night.
00:35Tell her to call if she needs someone to talk to.
00:37Wait!
00:37Who are you?
00:44That's my grandfather.
00:45Most people know him as Cupid.
00:47I know him as the most annoying immortal alive.
00:50Olympia Lane?
00:51You know it.
00:53Does everything in your house have to be Valentine themed?
00:57It is my holiday.
00:58Sure, Grandpa.
00:59Your grandfather has an announcement.
01:02What is it, Grandpa?
01:04Elaine believes my job takes away from our life together.
01:07The world's population keeps growing.
01:10I'm barely home.
01:11You have employees.
01:13You're not making every match yourself.
01:15I still manage all of them.
01:16It takes too much of my time.
01:18Time?
01:19We're immortal.
01:20Everyone in this room lives forever.
01:22Time shouldn't be an issue.
01:24Regardless, I've decided to retire.
01:26I'm leaving everything to my successor.
01:28What?
01:30This is not a joke.
01:34What are you going to do for the rest of eternity?
01:38Spend time with family.
01:40Pick up a hobby.
01:42You can't retire.
01:43You're Cupid.
01:43What happens on Valentine's Day?
01:45It will all be your responsibility.
01:48What?
01:48You are my successor, Scarlet.
01:51I didn't even want this job.
01:52What makes you think I want the whole business?
01:54We're not just handing it over.
01:56There's a test.
01:57One case.
01:58A tough one.
01:59Match this person with his proper mate and the business is yours.
02:03I don't want the business.
02:05You might change your mind.
02:07This will take time.
02:09I've never needed long with a case before.
02:12This one involves an immortal.
02:14An immortal?
02:16On earth?
02:17A fallen angel looking for love.
02:20Immortals have to be paired with other immortals.
02:23That's the rule.
02:24Exactly why this will take time.
02:26Not many immortals walk the earth and most are in hiding.
02:30Really now, how hard could it be?
02:40You have living arrangements?
02:42I'm staying with Maisie, as always.
02:45You're always welcome here.
02:48Are you going to meet him today?
02:49Oh no, I almost forgot about the food in the oven.
02:54I thought you were quitting.
02:55Why should I?
02:56It's not like I can get lung cancer.
02:58Your grandmother will not be happy hearing this.
03:01I'll quit when that pack is empty.
03:03Looks like it's time to quit.
03:07I'm not cleaning that up.
03:11Trouble in paradise?
03:14Paradise?
03:15You live in the house of love.
03:17Everything must always be great.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Just peachy.
03:32Scarlett?
03:33Hey Maisie.
03:34Hey.
03:34Nice to see you home for once.
03:36Sorry.
03:37Busy schedule.
03:38New job.
03:39Another one?
03:40How many is that now?
03:41Starbucks Mondays and Fridays.
03:43The office Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays.
03:46And now the theater Thursdays and Sundays.
03:48I should go check out this client's place.
03:50Get a head start.
03:51Already?
03:51You just got here.
03:52No time like the present.
04:03You'd think this guy could afford a maid.
04:12Oh, my.
04:14Nice dog.
04:15Nice dog.
04:17Shh.
04:18Shut up.
04:22Here we go.
04:27Who the hell are you?
04:28Whoa, you don't lock the door, but you have a gun?
04:31Answer the question.
04:32My name is Scarlett.
04:33And you are?
04:34What are you doing in my house?
04:36Hey, language.
04:37And you don't want blood on your walls.
04:39Or maybe you do, since it matched the rest of this mess.
04:41Get out of my house.
04:42Okay, okay.
04:43But I will find you and you, and next time you'll be gunless.
04:46Gosh.
04:47Touchy.
04:53Maisie?
04:53In here.
04:56Hey.
04:57What is that?
04:58That's Mrs. Finch's Chihuahua.
04:59She asked me to watch it for the weekend.
05:01The weekend?
05:02It's Thursday.
05:03She's paying me.
05:04Heaven knows I need the cash.
05:07This is Peanut.
05:08Believe it or not, she's a girl.
05:14Just take her out later.
05:15I'll be back around 11.
05:16Don't wait up.
05:21Can't anyone have a normal dog?
05:24I need to order something to fill my stomach.
05:27The one you love is closer than you think.
05:30Sure it is.
05:32Come on, rat.
05:33Let's go.
05:35So he pulled a gun on you?
05:37Yep.
05:38And you made fun of his apartment while he did it?
05:40It was disgusting, Maisie.
05:42There were boxers on the couch.
05:44You have a death wish.
05:46I'm immortal.
05:48It's fine.
05:49Still, how does the money stuff work for you?
05:52I've always wondered.
05:53Lord Morricott handles the finances.
05:54I get a monthly budget.
05:55I can't draw attention to myself.
05:57No million dollar shopping sprees.
05:58You could buy a house.
06:00One to buy a...
06:03That's him.
06:04Who, him?
06:05Him, him.
06:06Oh, the hot angel him.
06:08Hey, you're that girl who broke into my house.
06:11You broke into his house?
06:12His door was unlocked.
06:13I just invited myself inside.
06:15I'm gunless today.
06:17You want to tell me whatever you wanted to?
06:18There was a gun?
06:19You can go back to work.
06:21You're just going to sit with the girl who broke into your house?
06:23We're in public.
06:24There are witnesses.
06:26Plus, you're hot.
06:27Uh-huh.
06:28So why were you in my house harassing my dog?
06:30Tank is a Saint Bernard, not a bear.
06:33I'm here to help you.
06:35With what?
06:35Your love life.
06:37Did Tripp put you up to this?
06:39Where are the hidden cameras?
06:42I'm serious.
06:43I know your secret.
06:45What secret?
06:47You're immortal!
06:50How do you know that?
06:52You're my assignment.
06:54I have a whole folder on you.
06:56I'm finding you your soulmate.
06:58Who the hell are you?
07:02I'm Cupid's granddaughter.
07:03Who the hell are you?
07:17I wasn't aware Cupid could fall in love himself.
07:20He wasn't supposed to.
07:23I also thought Cupid was a baby with wings and a bow.
07:27Those are chariots.
07:29We stopped using them.
07:33Why?
07:34Because some genius gave a flying baby a weapon and told it to shoot people.
07:38What would you do if you saw that coming at you?
07:41Point taken.
07:47Why are you abnormally pretty?
07:51Excuse me?
07:54Sorry, that sounded wrong.
08:02Do you know anything about Greek mythology?
08:05The basics.
08:06Aren't Greek and Roman the same?
08:08It's complicated.
08:09You know Aphrodite?
08:10Goddess of beauty and love.
08:12She had an affair with the god of war and had my grandfather, Victor, better known as Eros or Cupid.
08:20Then Victor fell in love with a mortal named Elaine.
08:23That's Phiney.
08:24Two of the most beautiful women in history.
08:25Their genes are inside me.
08:27I was destined to look like this.
08:29So you're related to Aphrodite.
08:31Have you met her?
08:32I call her great-grandma Valentina.
08:34She hates grandma Elaine.
08:36Refuses to come to family dinners.
08:38You have family dinners?
08:40I'll take you to one sometime.
08:45Me?
08:46Up to Olympus?
08:48We don't live on Olympus.
08:50We live on Olympia Lane.
08:52It's like the suburbs of Olympus.
08:58So, so what's the deal?
09:00What are you actually going to do?
09:02I need to hang around you.
09:04Learn what you're like.
09:05When I match people, they're usually in the same room and I feel the connection.
09:08But you're immortal.
09:09You need another immortal.
09:10If I get to know you travel and feel your soulmate when I'm near her or him, I don't judge.
09:14I want a her.
09:18Noted.
09:18I'll also need a full profile.
09:20Likes, dislikes, preference.
09:26Alright.
09:35Do you want to come up?
09:37No.
09:38But I want you to do homework.
09:40Clean your house before tomorrow.
09:43What's tomorrow?
09:44I'm coming over.
09:46And I'd like to not vomit.
09:53So, goodbye?
09:54No.
09:55See you tomorrow.
10:18What time is it?
10:19Aww.
10:25I'm glad you cleaned up for me.
10:28Seven?
10:29I normally wake up at 11.
10:31At least it rhymes.
10:40You can't smoke that in here?
10:42Why not?
10:43It'll yellow my wallpaper.
10:45Your house smells like dog barf and rotten food.
10:48But you're worried about wallpaper?
10:55Why do you even have those if you don't smoke?
10:58I have friends.
11:04Fine.
11:05If you won't clean, I will.
11:08Is that a threat?
11:10I'm going to girly up your place.
11:13Rubber gloves under the sink.
11:15Have fun.
11:20I'm done.
11:23Whoa.
11:24You're welcome.
11:29You hungry?
11:30Depends.
11:32Can you cook?
11:40Oh my god.
11:42Hungry?
11:44That was incredible.
11:46And 25.
11:47What?
11:49You asked what age I tell people.
11:5125.
11:52You?
11:5427.
11:5627.
11:5628.
12:03You gotta come with me tonight to this club.
12:04Oh!
12:07She's pretty.
12:08Please tell me you're doing her.
12:10Excuse me?
12:11Nope.
12:12Whoa!
12:13What is that?
12:14The floor.
12:15Isn't it amazing?
12:16Who knew your floor could be this spotless?
12:19Who the hell cleaned this place?
12:23Ha!
12:24Dude, doing the maid.
12:25Classic.
12:26Trip, this is Scarlet.
12:28Scarlet, Trip.
12:29She's my matchmaker.
12:30Mr. I'll never date has a matchmaker?
12:33You said you were married.
12:34How would your wife feel about you hanging out with me?
12:38Damien.
12:41I've gotta go.
12:43I'll be over tomorrow for your likes and likes profile.
12:45Thanks for the omelette.
12:46Nice meeting you, Trip.
12:47Though I don't like to lie.
12:57Hey, Gus.
12:58Do you ever visit your grandfather?
13:01Yeah, but he's always busy.
13:03Messenger of the gods and all.
13:05When will you see him next?
13:06Probably at the Thanksgiving party.
13:08I forgot about that.
13:09Is it November already?
13:11The gods use any holiday to throw a party.
13:13How could you forget?
13:16Oh, Scarlet.
13:18Your grandfather and I were just talking about you.
13:21Come eat.
13:26You look stressed, dear.
13:31I need to use the library.
13:33Look up some files.
13:35The library is huge.
13:37I know.
13:45Celeste.
13:47Nature, Angel, fell around the same time as Damien.
13:51If she's on Earth, she's in this book.
14:02Got you.
14:05Of course it's redacted.
14:07Nothing's ever easy.
14:28Darling.
14:30You look thin.
14:32Thanks, Mum.
14:44I see Elaine did the decorations.
14:46How quaint.
14:49Valentina.
14:50So glad you came.
14:54Great-Grandma Valentina showed up.
14:56This should be fun.
14:59Define fun.
15:01Family.
15:02Thank you for coming.
15:04I have a brief announcement.
15:06I am considering retirement.
15:09Retirement?
15:09From love?
15:10How very modern of you.
15:12Scarlet will be my successor.
15:14She's currently working on her qualifying case.
15:17Thanks for the spotlight, Grandpa.
15:19The girl?
15:20Running the love business?
15:22This should be entertaining.
15:25I'll try not to disappoint, Great-Grandma.
15:44Rapid fire.
15:46Favorite color?
15:46Blue.
15:47Favorite food?
15:48Italian.
15:50Biggest pet peeve?
15:53People who break into my apartment.
15:55Nodded.
15:55Sense of humor check.
15:56Ideal first date?
15:57I don't know.
15:58Dinner?
15:58You're so create-breakers.
16:00Dishonesty.
16:01And someone who's too clingy.
16:02Interesting.
16:03What about Celeste?
16:04Was she clingy?
16:04No.
16:05She was independent.
16:06Fierce, actually.
16:07She didn't need anyone.
16:08But she wanted you.
16:09Yeah.
16:10She did.
16:12I think Celeste might be important to this case.
16:15What do you mean?
16:16I found her name in the fallen angel registry.
16:19Her file's partially redacted, but she's on Earth.
16:21Somewhere.
16:25You're gonna find her?
16:26I'm going to try.
16:28She might be your match, or she might lead me to your match.
16:31Either way, she's a thread worth pulling.
16:35Don't thank me yet.
16:48You look like a conspiracy theorist.
16:50I need to travel.
16:51Celeste's file was redacted, but I got a partial location somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
16:56Oregon?
16:57Washington?
16:59Not sure yet.
17:00I need to go there and feel for her.
17:02If she's an immortal, I'll sense her.
17:08How long will you be gone?
17:10A week?
17:11Maybe two?
17:13What about Damien?
17:14Damien?
17:15He'll survive.
17:15I've spent enough time with him to carry his energy signature.
17:18I just need to get close enough to a potential match and I'll know.
17:22This is the weirdest job description ever.
17:25Tell me about it.
17:28Are you taking Gus?
17:29Gus doesn't drive cross-country.
17:31I'll fly.
17:31Commercial, unfortunately.
17:32Victor cut my Olympia's transport privileges until I commit to the role.
17:35Your family is insane.
17:37Immortally insane.
17:42I start here.
17:53I need to tell you something.
17:55That sounds ominous.
17:56I'm leaving for a while, maybe a week or two.
17:58I'm going to Pacific Northwest to search for Celeste or at least for a lead on your match.
18:02You're leaving.
18:03Temporarily.
18:05I mean, that's fine.
18:06I survived centuries without you.
18:09Centuries in a dirty apartment with a bear.
18:11Fair point.
18:14What if you find her and she doesn't want to be found?
18:17Then I respect that.
18:18But I still need to feel her energy to know if she's your match.
18:22And if she's not?
18:24Then I keep looking.
18:29Be careful out there.
18:31Not everyone likes being discovered.
18:33Spoken like a guy who pulled a gun on me.
18:35Exactly.
18:36Keep the apartment clean while I'm gone.
18:39No promises.
18:45No promises.
18:49I can't wait.
18:49Portland.
18:50Where it rains every day and everyone pretends to enjoy it.

25:30interesting
25:31why?
25:32my case
25:33a fallen angel needs a match
25:35and the registered immortals aren't it

25:39don't quite fit
25:41immortals who've hidden so long
25:43they've almost forgotten what they are

32:39you fell in love with the client
32:42scarlet the match energy doesn't lie
32:44if gemma is his match
32:45i know i'm not going to interfere
32:47he deserves happiness
32:48i just can't run a love business
32:50when i know what it feels like to lose it
32:52your grandfather once defied every rule to be with me
32:55love doesn't follow rules
32:57not even ours
32:58have you told him how you feel
32:59no
33:00and i'm not going to
33:03i'm not retiring yet
33:04what
33:05i said i'd retire when you passed the test
33:07you passed
33:08but i'm choosing not to retire
33:10because i think there's one more match you need to make
33:12whose
33:13yours
33:19how did you find me
33:21macy told me
33:22i went on three dates with gemma
33:25and
33:27she's amazing
33:28smart
33:29kind
33:29funny
33:30everything you said she'd be
33:32good
33:33i'm happy for you
33:34but i ended it
33:36you what
33:37damien she's your match
33:38the energy was perfect
33:39the energy was perfect
33:41she wasn't
33:42not for me
33:43that doesn't make sense
33:45my gift doesn't lie
33:50maybe it doesn't
33:51maybe gemma is an incredible person
33:53and immortal i'm meant to have in my life
33:55but not as a lover
33:56kind of like celesta
33:58connected
33:58but not romantic
34:00then i failed
34:01the match was wrong
34:02or maybe the match was pointing somewhere else
34:05and you were too stubborn to see it
34:09what are you saying
34:12when i was with gemma
34:13all i could think about was you
34:15the girl who broke into my apartment
34:18who cleaned my house and sang bohemian rhapsody off key
34:21who found my oldest friend and brought her back to me
34:24who gave up cigarettes because my grandfather told her to
34:27your grandfather didn't
34:28scarlet
34:30i'm in love with you
34:34you can't be
34:35i'm your matchmaker
34:37i'm supposed to find you someone else
