00:00:17Every morning I wake up with a smile on my face
00:00:24Got a feeling that everything's alright
00:00:33And I'm not trying to keep up
00:00:37I've been in the groove all day
00:00:40I'm just enjoying the breeze and the clouds of sky
00:00:46Oh, alright
00:00:51Got a feeling I'm in for something new
00:00:57I'm done with all the reports
00:00:59Mia, it's finally happening
00:01:01I am moving out of sales and into my own summer series
00:01:04Written by Allie Morgan
00:01:06It's a huge deal
00:01:07This is your first real writing job
00:01:09I mean, it's not a short article
00:01:10This is a three-month-long series
00:01:12I know, I've actually been looking into obituaries
00:01:15The obits?
00:01:16When Rickford said he wanted a story with heart
00:01:18He didn't mean cardiac arrest
00:01:19Trust me, I've got the perfect one
00:01:21Big Top Benny
00:01:23He was a famous circus performer with dancing dogs
00:01:25Wouldn't it be more interesting if he was
00:01:27I don't know, alive?
00:01:30We got that meeting with Rickford in five, okay?
00:01:32I know, Eric
00:01:33Good luck
00:01:35You too
00:01:44That's okay
00:01:50Hey, Tyler, can you help me with these?
00:01:52Tyler
00:01:53Exactly
00:01:53Hold it, please
00:01:54Thank you
00:01:58Alright, let's start with the first bunch
00:01:59Hey
00:02:03Oh, oh, sorry
00:02:05I can't have to fire you for balloon duty?
00:02:08Come on
00:02:08Wait, I work for you?
00:02:15Tyler
00:02:15There's something different about you
00:02:17I just can't quite place it
00:02:20You're gonna fire me?
00:02:22Yes
00:02:22But I'm willing to offer you a generous severance package
00:02:25Of a complimentary cup of coffee
00:02:26Oh
00:02:27Tyler
00:02:28Yeah
00:02:28A coffee on the house for
00:02:30Uh, Allie
00:02:31Allie
00:02:32You got it, boss
00:02:33Yeah?
00:02:33Yep
00:02:34Sam, owner of the shop
00:02:35Oh, nice to meet you
00:02:36Actually, I thought it was a residential address
00:02:39I'm looking for
00:02:40Big Top Benny
00:02:42So listen
00:02:43This address is West 3rd Street
00:02:45You're on East
00:02:46Oh
00:02:47Probably about five miles
00:02:48Yep
00:02:50Okay, well, uh, thanks
00:02:51I'll just go in and get my coffee
00:02:53Sounds good
00:02:55Well, first, let me just start out by saying
00:02:57I'm really impressed with your design layout, Ms. Paul
00:03:01That is until I saw the competition's updated website
00:03:05And I realized I like those better
00:03:06Uh, Mr. Stouffer, I saw your proposal
00:03:09And I like how it's geared toward the user
00:03:11Thank you, sir
00:03:12Thank you
00:03:12Uh, the simpler the better
00:03:14That's what the reader wants
00:03:15It is to an extent
00:03:17But it's not the prettiest thing now, is it?
00:03:18Well, I chose to go for efficiency
00:03:20No matter
00:03:20I made it my mind
00:03:21And I have decided
00:03:22That I like both of your proposals
00:03:24For different reasons
00:03:25So going forward
00:03:27The two of you are going to work together
00:03:28I can easily make my layout more functional
00:03:30It's really not necessary
00:03:31I can just easily make my layout more steady
00:03:33You're going to work together
00:03:33Unless it's a problem
00:03:36No, sir
00:03:36No
00:03:36No problem
00:03:38Wonderful
00:03:40Let me go
00:03:41Thank you, sir
00:03:52Here you go
00:03:54Oh, thanks
00:03:56Who are all these people?
00:03:58It's all the couples who have met here
00:04:00Isn't it romantic?
00:04:02Must be something in the coffee
00:04:03No, it's Mr. J
00:04:04He calls matchmaking his secret weapon
00:04:07He's got a knack for him
00:04:08He set up all of these people?
00:04:10Oh, yeah
00:04:10He's pretty good
00:04:11Oh, um
00:04:14In case you're interested
00:04:15Yeah, you just buy 30 cups of coffee
00:04:17And in exchange
00:04:18He sets you up with the love of your life
00:04:20Not my cup of tea
00:04:22It's coffee
00:04:22I'm just
00:04:23I'm just
00:04:27I'm just
00:04:27What a throwback
00:04:28A coffee shop that doubles as a matchmaking service
00:04:31I mean, there's no apps
00:04:32No device
00:04:33It's just 30 cups of coffee
00:04:35That's your story
00:04:36It's perfect
00:04:37People meeting and falling in love
00:04:38Who wouldn't want to hear that?
00:04:41Besides you
00:04:42I wish I could be in a coffee shop
00:04:44Finding the man of my dreams
00:04:46Instead, I have to work with Eric again
00:04:48All right, wish me luck
00:04:49Go get him, Tiger
00:04:50Thanks, I will
00:04:50It is a behind-the-scenes look at circus performers
00:04:55This is supposed to be a feel-good piece
00:04:57Not an expose on corrupt circus practices
00:05:00Uh, well, the bulk of that story is about dancing dogs
00:05:04And people love dogs
00:05:05Morgan, do you want to write this column?
00:05:07You gotta look at what sells
00:05:08Long lost love, unexpected romance
00:05:11Happily ever after
00:05:12Now, unless those dogs are getting married
00:05:14And big top Perry is officiating the wedding
00:05:17You got nothing
00:05:18What else do you have?
00:05:20Uh, there's this guy, Sam
00:05:23He owns a coffee shop
00:05:25It's called Brimming with Love
00:05:27Listening?
00:05:29The cafe doubles as a matchmaking service
00:05:31So people agree to 30 cups of coffee
00:05:33And by their last cup
00:05:33They have found their soulmate
00:05:37I know
00:05:38And no one in their right mind would read that
00:05:41Brilliant
00:05:42That's a unique take on a classic story
00:05:44The eternal quest for love
00:05:46That has a heart
00:05:48If you guys are willing, you have yourself serious
00:05:51Thank you
00:05:59Hi
00:06:02Blue lady
00:06:04Thought I fired you
00:06:05You did
00:06:06So I'm assuming you didn't come to help me with more balloons
00:06:10Uh, no, I have a serious question for you
00:06:12I'm intrigued
00:06:13How would you like to be the subject of the summer series I'm writing for the City Herald?
00:06:18About what?
00:06:19Your matchmaking
00:06:20Listen, thank you
00:06:22I'm flattered, but that's not really something I'm interested in
00:06:24Think of it as free advertising
00:06:25You'll have lines around the block
00:06:27Well, listen, our customers are loyal
00:06:29And they love the fact that we're an intimate family-run business
00:06:33What if we kept the shops I didn't need private?
00:06:37And think of all the lonely readers who need to know that love still exists
00:06:40To really affect them
00:06:42Isn't that what your matchmaking is all about?
00:06:45No names?
00:06:46No names
00:06:49All right, all right
00:06:50Come on
00:06:57Wow, this is really great
00:07:00Thanks
00:07:01Yeah, let's sit here
00:07:02Great
00:07:06Here you go, boss
00:07:08Ah, thanks, Scotty
00:07:10Let's get straight to it, shall we?
00:07:11Yeah, let's do it
00:07:14So, tell me about your process
00:07:17Well, normally I would start by asking the person if they're looking for a serious relationship or just in it
00:07:24for some fun
00:07:24So a client comes in, buys a cup, gets a stamp, and they find their one true love?
00:07:29Yes, but I don't guarantee a match
00:07:32It's just a strong possibility
00:07:33So, uh, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
00:07:36Sure, what do you want to know?
00:07:37Uh, let's start with the obvious questions
00:07:39Are you married or in a relationship?
00:07:41No
00:07:42And I know what you're thinking
00:07:43How can somebody who can't even find love for himself find it for other people?
00:07:46No, I'm thinking women come in here for love
00:07:50Then you're the gatekeeper
00:07:51You ask them personal questions, you get to know them
00:07:53For a single guy, why not take advantage?
00:07:56I don't date my customers
00:07:58Come on, people come in here lost and lonely
00:08:00And they're desperate enough to trust a barista to find their soulmate
00:08:03I don't think somebody so cynical should be writing this article
00:08:07I'm really sorry
00:08:08Uh, excuse me?
00:08:09Uh, Mr. J?
00:08:10Yeah, buddy
00:08:11Phone for you?
00:08:12Thanks, Tyler
00:08:14You know what?
00:08:15I don't think this is gonna work for me
00:08:16Um, thank you
00:08:18Good luck with your series
00:08:23Okay, I've got another idea
00:08:25It's a little different
00:08:27Okay, what are you talking about?
00:08:28What about talking about love's unhappy endings?
00:08:31Now, I really thought you knew what you were doing
00:08:33I'm starting to think this is a big mistake
00:08:35It's not
00:08:36The stories are with Sam
00:08:37You need to become friends with him
00:08:39Ask him questions
00:08:39And find the heart
00:08:41There's a slight hiccup
00:08:42Because Sam doesn't really like me right now
00:08:45Not my problem
00:08:46Figured out
00:08:47Yes
00:08:48Sorry
00:09:06Hey, hey
00:09:07Take a look at this
00:09:08You're hopeless
00:09:09This one's good
00:09:10Duck face selfie
00:09:11Never a good sign
00:09:12She's probably super high maintenance
00:09:13You need somebody who's not gonna take an hour to get ready
00:09:16Okay, okay
00:09:18Em, what about this one?
00:09:23I'm only here for your dog?
00:09:24You don't even have a dog
00:09:26Yeah, but I mean, I could get one
00:09:27You couldn't even take care of a goldfish
00:09:29Hey
00:09:29Too soon
00:09:30Too soon
00:09:36I get a letter from your parents
00:09:39They say
00:09:40Bonjour
00:09:41From Paris
00:09:45Crazy kids
00:09:46Yeah
00:09:46It's good that after all these years
00:09:48We're still traveling together
00:09:50That's pretty much all they do
00:09:52When are you gonna find a traveling companion?
00:09:55You mean a girlfriend?
00:09:57You're no spring chicken
00:09:58Thanks, Grandpa
00:10:01This reporter came by yesterday
00:10:02She accused me of getting into the matchmaking business
00:10:05So I could flirt with the customers
00:10:08Why are you laughing?
00:10:10Not everybody feels about love the same way you do
00:10:13Some people get hurt
00:10:15And they build a wall around themselves
00:10:18Everybody wants love
00:10:19Some people are just better at hiding it than others
00:10:24You should know that better than anybody
00:10:26Nah, it doesn't matter
00:10:28It's all that I'm not interested in doing this story
00:10:39Checkmate
00:10:41Checkmate
00:10:41Checkmate
00:10:43Checkmate
00:10:43Checkmate

00:11:04so a client comes in buys a cup gets a stamp and they find their one true love yes but
00:11:11i don't
00:11:11guarantee a match it's just a strong possibility
00:11:22while most people are clicking swiping and scrolling into relationships one matchmaker

00:13:56well she says here
00:13:57she doesn't want to post a picture because
00:13:59dating should not be all about looks and i agree
00:14:02okay for the last time i tried to date someone without a photo it did not end well
00:14:07okay well you should at least read her bio because it's funny

00:14:29just swipe right
00:14:31see what happens
00:14:32talk to her

00:14:39one photo
00:14:41i like her
00:14:43best friend approved
00:14:52relax he will call

00:18:35i mean was it chemistry right off the bat or
00:18:37no
00:18:38i thought that sam had made a huge mistake and found the wrong guy for me
00:18:42what?
00:18:43you too, ben?
00:18:45i mean of course i thought she was beautiful
00:18:47i just didn't think we were well suited for each other
00:18:49that's so interesting
00:18:51you're the third couple that said that
00:18:53well of course the first impression didn't really mean anything
00:18:55because here we are
00:18:56four years later
00:18:57yep
00:18:58so if you both felt mismatched at first

00:19:05he really listened
00:19:06yeah that must be nice
00:19:08in my past relationships

00:24:01what do you mean?
00:24:03body language
00:24:03when i'm at the coffee shop

00:24:19yeah
00:24:20when a guy, uh
00:24:21raises his eyebrows
00:24:22it's a subconscious expression
00:24:23to open his eyes
00:24:24because he likes what he sees
00:24:25i would never notice that
00:24:27it's the subtle things

00:31:31common interests
00:31:32are definitely
00:31:33a factor

00:44:05didn't last long
00:44:06Eric was there
00:44:07Eric why was
00:44:08and we had the best conversation
00:44:11it was so surprising
00:44:13he's different than I thought he was
00:44:14wait a minute
00:44:15you don't wanna do the series
00:44:16because you might
00:44:17be interested in someone else
00:44:19Mia
00:44:19I spoke to Sam
00:44:20and he agreed
00:44:21you spoke to Sam
00:44:26why would you tell her to quit
00:44:28I didn't
00:44:28this is gonna ruin the story
00:44:30the two of them should not have been matched
00:44:31they both like comedy
00:44:32Sam
00:44:33that doesn't mean anything
00:44:34I didn't make her go out with him
00:44:36it was her decision
00:44:36Mia found someone
00:44:38that's how love works
00:44:39my editor's not gonna go for that
00:44:41the series is about you
00:44:42and how you match people
00:44:44I'm confused
00:44:44I mean this doesn't seem like
00:44:45you're very happy for your friend
00:44:47of course I'm happy for my friend
00:44:48the readers were invested in a story
00:44:50and we didn't deliver
00:44:58so
00:44:59what was her excuse
00:45:02she said she couldn't tell me what happened
00:45:05but she was sorry
00:45:08sounds like she was nervous
00:45:11are you mad at her?
00:45:14no not really
00:45:15I mean
00:45:16it's a lot of pressure
00:45:17did she say anything
00:45:19about trying to meet up again?
00:45:21no not really
00:45:23maybe she's scared for a reason
00:45:26you know maybe I've built her up in my head
00:45:28but things wouldn't be the same in person
00:45:31I mean I don't know
00:45:32maybe we wouldn't live up to each other's expectations
00:45:34it's just
00:45:35it is better this way
00:45:37or
00:45:39maybe things would be perfect
00:45:41yeah
00:45:43and then it would hurt even more
00:45:44if things didn't work out
00:45:45I mean isn't that what dating's all about?
00:45:47what would you know about dating?
00:45:48I mean you've
00:45:49you've never been in love
00:45:51wait wait wait

00:45:55no
00:45:56oh come on
00:45:57it's me we're talking about
00:46:01this is a total disaster
00:46:02what if I go back to interviewing couples?
00:46:04you're in the middle of an ankle
00:46:05you can't just backpedal
00:46:06well we could start over
00:46:07there's a lot of people that want to do this
00:46:09fall is right around the corner
00:46:10we can't just start over
00:46:12yeah but the Raiders are going to feel cheated
00:46:14cheated?

00:46:30what if it's me?
00:46:32and I know we've discussed this before

00:46:36he knows me

00:46:38and I will meet the deadline

00:46:46alright against my better judgment
00:46:47one more chance
00:46:48but if you screw this up
00:46:49this whole series is finished
00:46:51do you understand?
00:46:52yes sir
00:46:52go
00:47:00oh
00:47:26Are things awkward now?
00:47:28Things are awkward now, huh?
00:47:29No, no.
00:47:30Just doing my work.
00:47:31Oh.
00:47:33Sorry.
00:47:34Wow.
00:47:35I, uh...
00:47:37Never mind.
00:47:38You thought what?
00:47:38Nothing.
00:47:40Work.
00:47:41That's all we do here.
00:47:59I got you these.
00:48:02I was waiting for an appropriate time to give them to you, like, uh, our lunch break, our
00:48:06after-work hours, but I'm gonna make an exception.
00:48:11Eric.
00:48:12Wanna go on a date tonight?
00:48:14If we finish our task list on time, because that is a priority.
00:48:19Right, yeah.
00:48:20Task list, for sure.
00:48:30Hi.
00:48:32Hey.
00:48:34May I join you?
00:48:36You play?
00:48:38Well, my dad always says we're allowed to do two things.
00:48:41How to fix a tire and how to play chess.
00:48:45All right.
00:48:47It's on.
00:48:52Look, I just, I want to say sorry for snapping yesterday.
00:48:55I'm just under a lot of pressure.
00:48:58It's okay.
00:48:59I understand.
00:49:02I'm sorry that you didn't get the ending that you wanted.
00:49:05I want to take over Mia's cups.
00:49:07And I know that's traditionally not how you do it, but you know me.
00:49:14And, and I don't want to go back to sales.
00:49:17I, I really want this series to be amazing.
00:49:20Well, are you volunteering because you want to find love?
00:49:25Or just to finish your story?
00:49:29A little bit of both.
00:49:31I still have my rule.
00:49:34You need to be serious.
00:49:36I know.
00:49:38I am.
00:49:41Checkmate.
00:49:53Consider this cup 13.
00:50:08What's all this?
00:50:09I decided since we have to work late, we could have our date here.
00:50:13I love it.
00:50:16Eric, what about the memo that says no eating by the computers?
00:50:19Oh, yeah.
00:50:20I'm living a little.
00:50:24Isn't this candle a fire hazard?
00:50:26Yeah.
00:50:27Throwing caution to the wind.
00:50:33Actually, who am I kidding?
00:50:34We're going to burn the place down and get food all over the keyboard.
00:50:37It's just absurd.
00:50:38How about, instead, I escort you to the break area where our date continues.
00:50:45And if all goes as planned, I have some vending machine candy for the day.
00:50:49Best date ever.
00:50:51Really?
00:50:57I told Jessica about the 40th anniversary party.
00:51:00Oh, yeah?
00:51:01What'd she say?
00:51:03She said she wants to go, so...
00:51:06You going to take her up on the offer?
00:51:08I don't know.
00:51:08We'll see.
00:51:09I don't want her to be a no-show like last time.
00:51:12Hey, guys.
00:51:13Hey.
00:51:14Are you excited about your date?
00:51:19Is it him?
00:51:20Uh, no.
00:51:21It's, uh...
00:51:22Tyler.
00:51:36Right.
00:51:39So what happened?
00:51:40I just freaked out and left.
00:51:43That's okay.
00:51:43Everyone gets nervous.
00:51:45Yeah, but it's not just nerves.
00:51:46I...
00:51:48I can't really get over what happened to me.
00:51:51That's understandable.
00:51:53Many of your dreams broke your engagement.
00:51:55It's going to take time to heal.
00:51:57I feel like I'm under so much pressure.
00:52:00Sam, you, Rickford, the readers.
00:52:04Everyone wants me to find love.
00:52:06Can't you see what you're doing?
00:52:07Please tell me.
00:52:08You are putting all this pressure on yourself because you want to find love.
00:52:12You care.
00:52:13Is that what this awful feeling is?
00:52:15Isn't it glorious?
00:52:17If you didn't care, you would walk right in there.
00:52:19No hesitation.
00:52:21But you do care.
00:52:22And that's a good thing.
00:52:25Now walk back into that coffee shop and tell Sam what's going on.
00:52:34Oh, sorry.
00:52:35I just chickened out.
00:52:36It's okay.
00:52:37You guys good?
00:52:38Can I get you anything?
00:52:40Well, it lets me know that you don't automatically go for handsome.
00:52:44Which really opens up the playing field.
00:52:48I am ready to try again.
00:52:50Yeah?
00:52:51Are you going to be totally open?
00:52:53Yes.
00:52:54You want to show up?
00:52:55Yes.
00:52:56All right.
00:52:57Get inside and sit down.
00:52:59I got somebody else for you.
00:53:04Excuse me.
00:53:05My name's Walter.
00:53:07May I sit down?
00:53:08Oh, yeah.
00:53:09Of course.
00:53:12Sam sent me over.
00:53:14He thought we might hit it off.
00:53:18Really?
00:53:20Really?
00:53:21Yeah.
00:53:21He told me all about you.
00:53:24Would you just excuse me for a second?
00:53:30Sam, you're joking, right?
00:53:32We got a little lot in common.
00:53:33I mean, the guy's old enough to be my grandfather.
00:53:35He could be mine.
00:53:38Why don't you two split this?
00:53:48Sam says that you don't seem interested in falling in love.
00:53:52Well, I can see why I'd give him that impression.
00:53:55Is that on purpose?
00:53:56Why would I do it on purpose?
00:53:58Well, it's awful hard to fall in love if you're looking for bricks.
00:54:03What does that mean?
00:54:04We're all afraid of getting hurt.
00:54:07So some people build up a wall to protect their heart.
00:54:13Now, you can either spend the rest of your life looking for more bricks to build that wall higher,
00:54:19or you can find a person who'll help you tear the wall down.
00:54:24Which is more constructive?
00:54:28Excuse me, are you Allie?
00:54:30Oh, I was just leaving.
00:54:38Hi, I'm Jerry.
00:54:40Oh, nice to meet you.
00:54:41I can't stay, but Sam wanted me to meet you.
00:54:43Are you free tonight?
00:54:44Oh, it's night.
00:54:45How do you feel about dancing?
00:54:47Dancing.
00:54:51I'm totally open.
00:54:53Great.
00:54:54You're in for a treat.
00:55:17Yeah, when you said dancing, I didn't think you meant the skirt guys.
00:55:21What do you think?
00:55:22Like I just take you to some club where they play top 40 music or something?
00:55:25Um, uh, yeah.
00:55:27It's kind of exactly like that.
00:55:28No, that's amateur hour.
00:55:30I wanted to do something unique and different.
00:55:32Something you really remember.
00:55:34Oh, I will remember this.
00:55:36Great.
00:55:38So do you do this often?
00:55:40Because your outfit is on point.
00:55:42Yeah?
00:55:43You like it?
00:55:43I'd wear it every day if I could.
00:55:46Now, what do you say if we take that pretty dress of yours for a spin, huh?
00:55:50Uh, I don't know.
00:55:51Aw, come on.
00:55:53Great.
00:55:54Oh, yeah.
00:55:57Spin her around.
00:56:01Woo.
00:56:03Hello there.
00:56:09Okay.
00:56:17Have you ever had so much fun?
00:56:18Oh, huh.
00:56:27Hey, look, there's Sam.
00:56:28Sam.
00:56:29Uh, what's easier in here?
00:56:30I invited him.
00:56:31There's always more women than men in business.
00:56:33Oh.
00:56:34Oh.
00:56:37All right.
00:56:42Swing it to the side so you can see the lights have your toes to the band.
00:56:46You're the boogie woogie fruit stomping man.
00:56:49You're the boogie woogie fruit stomping man.
00:56:53You're the boogie woogie fruit stomping man.
00:56:56You're the boogie woogie fruit stomping man.
00:57:08You two want to sit out for a while, rest up?
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:10Sure?
00:57:11I mean, yeah.
00:57:12Take your time.
00:57:13Thanks, Jer.
00:57:15We should get out of the way here.
00:57:23Did you get the feeling Jerry wanted us to sit on?
00:57:26I think maybe just a little bit.
00:57:29So, why did you come here?
00:57:31Well, it seemed like it'd be a great time.
00:57:36I wanted to make sure you were okay.
00:57:38Yeah, I'm good.
00:57:39I'm great.
00:57:40Glad you're great.
00:57:43Square dancing moves, on the other hand, might need a little work.
00:57:46Oh, come on.
00:57:47I wasn't that bad.
00:57:48No, you're fine.
00:57:52So, you think I'll come get me?
00:57:56Do you want him to?
00:58:06I should probably get back on the dance floor.
00:58:09Yeah, I think I'll probably head out.
00:58:12Tell Jerry thanks for the invite.
00:58:17Have fun.
00:58:19Wish me luck.
00:58:20Good luck.
00:58:21Good luck.
00:58:45Square dancing my way into love?
00:58:48Not likely.
00:58:49I'm getting to know myself better by stepping out of my comfort zone, but I haven't exactly
00:58:54found my footing with this whole dating thing.
00:59:00I'm waiting for you, Allie.
00:59:03It was a hook.
00:59:04You keep that up, they're going to move you out of sales permanently.
00:59:17So, the other night was fun.
00:59:19Starting to enjoy the process.
00:59:21I hate to ruin this new attitude, but I have some good news and some bad news.
00:59:26All right, bad news first.
00:59:27Jerry doesn't want a second date.
00:59:29And, uh, the good news?
00:59:31Jerry doesn't want a second date.
00:59:32My first 30-catch rejection.
00:59:34Not so bad, was it?
00:59:36All right, let's do this.
00:59:38Never been wonderful, I'm just like the ocean, the love of the moon.
00:59:47So hard to tell you that I love you.
00:59:52I need you to know that I'm sober about you, girl.
00:59:57You got that my only love.
01:00:03You got that my only love.
01:00:08I need you to know that I'm sober about you, girl.
01:00:14You got that my only love.
01:00:21You got that my only love.
01:00:30Oh, hi.
01:01:00Oh, come on.
01:01:02He's nice.
01:01:03Nope.
01:01:05No, thank you.
01:01:07You promised.
01:01:12Oh, hi.
01:01:14Oh, hi.
01:01:16Oh, hi.
01:01:17Oh, hi.
01:01:17Oh, hi.
01:01:17Oh, hi.
01:01:19Oh, hi.
01:01:29Oh, hi.
01:01:36What are you smiling now?
01:01:38What? Oh, uh,
01:01:41nothing. I, uh,
01:01:43I set Ali up with this bodybuilder
01:01:45and apparently he made his
01:01:46black fingers and muscles the entire
01:01:48one-on-one.
01:01:50I bet her face was priceless.
01:01:53Shouldn't you be disappointed
01:01:55that you set her up with a dud?
01:01:56It was just a funny moment, that's all.
01:01:59Man, Tyler.
01:02:01Can't your boss have a little bit of a laugh?
01:02:02Yeah. Oh, yeah.
01:02:08You know, it's weird.
01:02:10Whenever I see her, she's always talking to you
01:02:12and not the other guys.
01:02:13If she wants to find love, she can't just talk to the matchmaker.
01:02:16I'll tell her.
01:02:17Good eye.
01:02:20The student has become the master.
01:02:23Ha!
01:02:24Easy.
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:26So, what's the craziest thing you've done?
01:02:30Hmm.
01:02:30Good question.
01:02:32And if you haven't done anything crazy, that's okay, too.
01:02:35I have done lots of crazy things.
01:02:37Okay.
01:02:38I have.
01:02:40Mm-hmm.
01:02:41I guess probably the...
01:02:42the craziest thing I've ever done is...
01:02:45is this.
01:02:47This is in looking for love?
01:02:49Yeah.
01:02:50What, is that not crazy enough for you?
01:02:53Finding love is, like, the most universal, common thing.
01:02:57It's not crazy, it's natural.
01:02:58Yeah, but that's if you find it in a normal way,
01:03:01and this is not normal.
01:03:07You know what?
01:03:08I've got a crazy idea.
01:03:11Come with me.
01:03:12Where are we going?
01:03:15Come on, let's crash this party.
01:03:18One minute.
01:03:20Hey, guys.
01:03:21Good to see you again.
01:03:21Oh, hi.
01:03:22Hi.
01:03:23How are you?
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:25Thanks.
01:03:29Good.
01:03:30Thank you for enjoying it.
01:03:32One time.
01:03:34Just keep me in your heart
01:03:37And I'll catch you in your heart
01:03:41Just believe in me
01:03:44That I'm believing in you
01:03:47Go!
01:03:53Come on!
01:04:15That's the most fun I've had in a while.
01:04:17Yeah, me too.
01:04:21Rickford's doubting your matchmaking.
01:04:22He thinks the whole summer's gonna be a bust.
01:04:25Do you feel the same way?
01:04:27I'm starting to wonder if it's me.
01:04:29I mean, I've gone on so many dates and I haven't felt chemistry with any of them.
01:04:33This isn't on you.
01:04:35There's nothing wrong with you.
01:04:36This is on me.
01:04:37I gotta set my game up.
01:04:40I'm gonna find somebody good for you.
01:04:43Promise.
01:04:46Thanks.
01:04:55What do you think?
01:04:56It looks good.
01:04:57Huh?
01:05:01I'm having a hard time matching Allie.
01:05:04Never been stuck like this before.
01:05:06What's the problem?
01:05:08She's funny.
01:05:09She's smart.
01:05:10She's challenging.
01:05:11She always gets the riddle on the chalkboard.
01:05:14She's...
01:05:14Perfect.
01:05:15Hard to match.
01:05:18Think about the foundation of love.
01:05:21When you see the perfect couple, what do you think?
01:05:24At the core, they're the same person.
01:05:27Exactly.
01:05:28Did I ever tell you the first moment that I knew that your grandmother was special?
01:05:34I don't think so, no.
01:05:36I was at the stoplight on 18th Street.
01:05:39We on a date?
01:05:40No, no.
01:05:40I was just driving, sitting at the light.
01:05:44And I thought, I couldn't wait to see her again.
01:05:48And then I thought, I wonder if I can live the rest of my life without her.
01:05:54So, what did you do?
01:05:56Did you make a U-turn to tell her?
01:05:58Well, I'd have been foolish enough to.
01:06:10You have a blind date tonight?
01:06:12I do.
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:15He's actually someone you met before.
01:06:17But I think you're going to have a great time.
01:06:19It's not your grandpa, is it?
01:06:20Because he is pretty great.
01:06:22No.
01:06:23It's someone I'm sure you're compatible with, though.
01:06:26I have a really good feeling about it.
01:06:27Is that all you're going to tell me?
01:06:28No.
01:06:29It is a blind date.
01:06:31Hope wants to go in blind.
01:06:38Can I come in?
01:06:39I've got great news.
01:06:40Please tell me Sam set you up with someone.
01:06:42I've got a blind date.
01:06:43I don't know him, but Sam says I do.
01:06:45And I think it's going to be a great ending to the series.
01:06:58He's two hours late.
01:07:09I think we should call it.
01:07:11I'm sorry.
01:07:13Are you disappointed?
01:07:17I thought I knew who it was.
01:07:18Who?
01:07:22Wait.
01:07:23Didn't you say you gave Sam a bunch of sticky notes when you guys went to the pizza place
01:07:26that one time?
01:07:28You thought he was the blind date?
01:07:31I feel so stupid.
01:07:33No.
01:07:34It has been two years and you are finally opening up and letting someone in.
01:07:39I want you to be brave and say how you're feeling.
01:07:44And make a really good story.
01:07:46I feel nervous, anxious, and really confused.
01:07:56Allie.
01:07:58You're falling in love.
01:08:06What if she's one of those girls, huh?
01:08:08Who wears high heels and then can't walk straight?
01:08:10Oh, yeah.
01:08:12I'll just say hello.
01:08:14You know, we'll hang out at the party for a little and if I don't like her then I'll just,
01:08:19um, just come up with an excuse and split.
01:08:21I'm really nervous.
01:08:23What if she has a thick accent?
01:08:25Or like a squeaky, high-pitched voice like a kid?
01:08:27I mean, I hate that.
01:08:28I'm sure her voice will be fine.
01:08:32Why did I agree to do this?
01:08:34I'm probably ruining a good thing.
01:08:36No.
01:08:37Meeting her in person is the best move.
01:08:39You're taking it to a new level.
01:08:40It's good.
01:08:41Okay.
01:08:42I'll just, I'll stay for a minute.
01:08:45You already said that.
01:08:47I really like this girl.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:51She's caring and sweet.
01:08:55She listens to me and I feel like she gets me.
01:09:02Or she could be wearing high heels.
01:09:06I don't think I could do this.
01:09:08Well, what are you going to do?
01:09:09I mean, are you just going to leave her there?
01:09:11No.
01:09:11No.
01:09:12No, you're right.
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:14Okay.
01:09:15Okay.
01:09:16Want to see you tonight?
01:09:17Yes.
01:09:17You're going to be fine.
01:09:21Sounds good.
01:09:22Alright.
01:09:24Bye.
01:09:26See ya.
01:09:40Hi.
01:09:44Hi.
01:09:47You look gorgeous.
01:09:49So do you.
01:09:50Eric?
01:09:52Hey.
01:09:53Good luck tonight.
01:09:53Mia.
01:09:54Mia, you told him.
01:09:55Sorry.
01:09:55Is that bad?
01:09:56No, it's okay.
01:09:58I'm going to go find Sam.
01:09:59Good idea.
01:10:00We're rooting for you.
01:10:01Thanks.
01:10:04She's so short.
01:10:24I'm here.
01:10:26I'm here.
01:10:26Turn around.
01:10:32Emily?
01:10:35It's me.
01:10:38I'm Jessica.
01:10:40I don't understand.
01:10:46I've been thinking about it a lot.
01:10:49And I think...
01:10:52I mean, I know you're the one.
01:10:59I've liked you this whole time.
01:11:07Why didn't you tell me?
01:11:10I was afraid that you wouldn't feel the same way.
01:11:15I don't believe this.
01:11:17I'm sorry.
01:11:18I shouldn't have lied to you.
01:11:21I was scared.
01:11:23No.
01:11:25Okay, don't be.
01:11:29I wanted it to be.
01:11:31I wanted it to be.
01:11:32I've always wanted it to be.
01:11:42Well, am I out of the friend zone?
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45Yeah.
01:11:47You should have never been there in the first place.
01:11:56Hey, everybody.
01:11:58Uh...
01:11:59Well, I guess the moment's just about arrived.
01:12:03Walter Jensen.
01:12:06Forty years ago, he opened up Brimming with Love with two goals.
01:12:09One, make a great cup of coffee.
01:12:12Two, help people find love.
01:12:21Still humble.
01:12:25Thank you, Grandpa.
01:12:27For all that you've done for me.
01:12:29For the matched couples here tonight.
01:12:32And for all of you that are still in the midst of your 30 cups.
01:12:37We all thank you.
01:12:39And thank you for showing me,
01:12:42for showing all of us,
01:12:44what love is all about.
01:12:48Forty years!
01:12:55Here, here.
01:13:00Now, as it is custom at parties like this,
01:13:04let's dance.
01:13:12Hey there.
01:13:12Hi.
01:13:17Um...
01:13:17Ali, uh...
01:13:19You look really beautiful tonight.
01:13:21Oh, thanks.
01:13:22So do you.
01:13:24Thanks.
01:13:26I always feel like a goof wearing a suit,
01:13:28as if I'm a guest at my own wedding.
01:13:31These couples all look so happy.
01:13:33Yeah, they do.
01:13:36Could have been you, you know.
01:13:37You hadn't given up on those 30 cups.
01:13:40I'm pretty sure it still can be me.
01:13:43You wanna?
01:13:45Yeah, okay.
01:13:56So...
01:13:57What were you thinking about that last cup?
01:14:02Uh...
01:14:03Yeah, I have been thinking about it.
01:14:05Um...
01:14:06There's something I need to tell you.
01:14:08So then I need to tell you too, but...
01:14:10Ladies first?
01:14:12Oh.
01:14:14Oh boy.
01:14:15Um...
01:14:17So...
01:14:18The blind date?
01:14:21Uh...
01:14:22Yeah?
01:14:23Never mind.
01:14:23It's really silly.
01:14:25Please tell me.
01:14:30I...
01:14:30I thought the blind date was you.
01:14:33And the crazy thing was, is...
01:14:36I was hoping that it was you.
01:14:43What?
01:14:45Well, that's a relief.
01:14:46What does that mean?
01:14:49It was a blind date.
01:14:53So now that we got all that out in the open...
01:14:56Mm-hmm.
01:15:00How'd you feel if I was your final cup?
01:15:05I'd love you.
01:15:11All right.
01:15:18Hey Jack, can you come here a minute?
01:15:21Uh...
01:15:22I'm...
01:15:22I'm being beckoned.
01:15:24Go.
01:15:25I have to go work on my column anyway.
01:15:28So tomorrow then?
01:15:29Yeah.
01:15:29I'll see you tomorrow.
01:15:31All right.
01:15:57I really want to know where this coffee shop is.
01:15:59I want to do the 30 cups.
01:16:04Yeah, does anyone know where I can find this matchmaker?
01:16:08I bet it's Sam from Brewing With Love.
01:16:12He left my friend at the altar.
01:16:16He doesn't heal hearts.
01:16:17He stumps all over them.
01:16:30Great time.
01:16:33Thanks for coming guys.
01:16:34Have a nice night.
01:16:36Oh.

01:16:51What?
01:16:52I just got a comment from a reader.
01:16:54She said you left her friend at the altar.
01:16:56You broke her heart.
01:16:58Yes.
01:16:59But I can explain.
01:17:00All that talk about waiting for the right person and I started falling for it.
01:17:05I started...
01:17:06I started falling for you.
01:17:10My fiancé left me a few weeks before the wedding.
01:17:13It destroyed me.
01:17:15I was humiliated and I never want to go through that kind of pain again.
01:17:23But you wouldn't know, would you?
01:17:24Because you never had your heart broken.

01:21:19I've been counting down the days as I pass the tide.
01:21:28Good night, Scott.
01:21:29Yeah, will do.
01:21:32Need any help?
01:21:34No, thanks.
01:21:35All right, shoot yourself.
01:21:42You know, I've been a matchmaker since before you were born.
01:21:47I've never been wrong.
01:21:49You do what you want to.
01:21:53Remember, I've always told you, never pass up a chance for love.
01:22:01Why should I care?
01:22:05There's no tomorrow if you're not there.
01:22:12When I was given the opportunity to write the summer series, I wasn't excited.
01:22:19This had been a lifelong dream of mine, but I didn't want to write about love.
01:22:26Most people who know me would say it's because it's not something I'm interested in.
01:22:32But that couldn't be further from the truth.
01:22:37For most of my life, I was a hopeless romantic.
01:22:43Then two years ago, my fiancé left me at the altar.
01:22:48And I've never recovered.
01:22:51My boss told me I needed to write a story with heart.
01:22:56What I needed to do was open up my own heart again.
01:23:01And that's what I did.
01:23:08I'm so sorry for not having faith in you.
01:23:14After spending the summer together working on this story,
01:23:18I can safely say that I am in love with you.
01:23:23I can only hope you feel the same way, too.
01:23:28You should be thrilled.
01:23:31Your article's gotten thousands of hits.
01:23:33We've never had this many subscribers before.
01:23:35The people are behind you.
01:23:37They care about you.
01:23:38Our readers have never had an emotional connection to any of our reporters.
01:23:42And I've been doing this a long time.
01:23:44I'm so glad.
01:23:49I'm moving you out of sales, Miss Morgan.
01:23:51I want you to be a permanent writer at the City Herald.
01:23:55Congratulations.
01:23:59You don't seem to be happy about it.
01:24:00Isn't this something you wanted all along?
01:24:02It is.
01:24:04It was.
01:24:13You forgot something.
01:24:18I don't understand.
01:24:20This might help.
01:24:23Frimming with...
01:24:25Oh.
01:24:26Yeah.
01:24:27Love.
