Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Yeah, but he doesn't know what the difference between past perfect and present is.
00:00:11I gotta go.
00:00:12Hey.
00:00:13Oh, hey.
00:00:14I'm glad you could make it.
00:00:15It's great to see you.
00:00:16Yeah, of course.
00:00:17I had to grade these exams somewhere.
00:00:18It may as well be here.
00:00:21So, your message left me on pins and needles.
00:00:26What's up?
00:00:27Well, it's good news.
00:00:28Great news.
00:00:29I mean, maybe.
00:00:30Just tell me.
00:00:31What is it?
00:00:32I have someone at Adams and Andrews who wants to read your manuscript.
00:00:37They're the best.
00:00:38Mm-hmm.
00:00:39The best of the best.
00:00:40Mm-hmm.
00:00:41But I have a concern.
00:00:43Okay?
00:00:44We have shopped your manuscript everywhere, so this could be your last chance to get your
00:00:47book published.
00:00:48Yes, but you are the person that says it only takes one yes.
00:00:50And it's true.
00:00:52But this is not the time to leave town.
00:00:54What if Adams and Andrews want additional changes?
00:00:57Well, then I'll get them done.
00:00:58Liam, I can't miss this trip.
00:01:01It's my grandma's 75th birthday.
00:01:03She's been planning for months, and now my mom is stuck dealing with contractors at the
00:01:06house, and I said that I would go help out.
00:01:09Okay, I appreciate that you have family obligations, but I need you to be available and ready to
00:01:15finish this project.
00:01:16Definitely.
00:01:17And I will get your revisions done before I leave for the lake, and if Adams and Andrews
00:01:20have any other notes, I will get those done, too.
00:01:23Good.
00:01:24I'm counting on you.
00:01:25I had to call in some pretty big favors to get you this read.
00:01:27Thank you, and I promise, this is going to be the best draft you have ever read in your
00:01:33entire life.
00:01:37I have to take this.
00:01:38That's fine.
00:01:39Go.
00:01:40Marty, this better be good.
00:01:55Thank you.
00:02:26Hello.
00:02:40Oh, my Penelope has returned at last.
00:02:46Grandma, you've got four children, eleven grandchildren, and who knows how many cousins
00:02:50that'll come see you.
00:02:51You're my only Penelope.
00:02:55You look tired.
00:02:56It was a long drive.
00:02:57Oh, no, you're just doing too much.
00:02:59Surely you have not been retired so long
00:03:01you've forgotten about the mad rush
00:03:03at the end of the school year.
00:03:04No, I remember.
00:03:06And I have just the thing to put the color back in those cheeks.
00:03:09I have a berry cobbler in the oven.
00:03:11I could smell it the second I stepped inside.
00:03:12Oh, could you?
00:03:14Because I started to use fresh nutmeg.
00:03:17It smells like home.
00:03:18I love you.
00:03:21Did you bring bags?
00:03:22Yes.
00:03:24Go get them.
00:03:25Right, I will do that.
00:03:26Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:27Hello?
00:03:33The eagle has landed.
00:03:36Initiating step one.
00:03:40Jason, can you go help that poor girl
00:03:43in the Campbell's driveway?
00:03:47On it.
00:03:54Here, let me help you with that.
00:03:56Oh, no, no.
00:03:56No, I got it.
00:03:57Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no.
00:04:00No.
00:04:01Uh, uh, I told you it would work.
00:04:07Jason.
00:04:08Penny.
00:04:09It's Penn, now.
00:04:10It's been a long time.
00:04:13Too long.
00:04:15How have you been?
00:04:16Um, you know, I have my shirt.
00:04:23What?
00:04:25Um, my shirt.
00:04:26Oh, sorry about that.
00:04:31Kittens.
00:04:33It's vintage.
00:04:43What a pleasant surprise.
00:04:46And you've come to help Penn.
00:04:48Oh, such manners.
00:04:50Right?
00:04:51Yeah.
00:04:51Magnets pulling you two together.
00:04:55How long has it been?
00:04:57Since.
00:04:58High school?
00:04:59Oh, well.
00:05:00Why don't you come inside, Jason?
00:05:02I've made cobbler.
00:05:06There we are.
00:05:10My favorite.
00:05:12Some things never change.
00:05:15Oh, I'm sure you two want to catch up.
00:05:22Penn was made a department head at her middle school
00:05:24this year.
00:05:26You teach.
00:05:27Hmm.
00:05:29It's kind of the family business.
00:05:34So Josie tells me that you're in banking.
00:05:37Banking, really?
00:05:39Kind of.
00:05:41So what exactly do you do?
00:05:44Investment banking.
00:05:45Oh.
00:05:46I help corporations and other organizations
00:05:48raise capital to grow their businesses.
00:05:52Where did you get your MBA?
00:05:55University of Chicago.
00:05:57You know, when you two were kids,
00:05:59your grandma and I used to think you were fated to be together.
00:06:05I mean, you were completely inseparable.
00:06:07That was a very, very long time ago, Grandma.
00:06:10Oh, well, you know the old saying.
00:06:13The only thing more powerful than time is love.
00:06:18Who said that?
00:06:20I did.
00:06:22Aren't you quite the poet?
00:06:23Oh, Jason, you flatter me.
00:06:27Say, I have a fabulous idea.
00:06:31Do you remember Penn's cousin, Annabeth?
00:06:33Well, she was talking about going dancing tonight.
00:06:37I think she wants to practice her moves for my party.
00:06:43I think the two of you should go with her.
00:06:46I wish I could.
00:06:48Actually, I planned tonight, though.
00:06:50Speaking of which, I should probably get going.
00:06:54Thank you so much for the cobbler.
00:06:55You're welcome.
00:06:57And it was really nice to see both of you.
00:07:01Yes, and we'll see you again soon, too.
00:07:10You know, it feels like summer when you were a kid
00:07:13and the house was full.
00:07:15Oh, Grandma.
00:07:18It must be nice to see Jason again, huh?
00:07:20I came here to see you, Grandma.
00:07:22No feelings, because it's been so long?
00:07:25It's actually a little strange.
00:07:27Well, there's so many memories.
00:07:31We must have a lot to talk about.
00:07:34Grandma, I just don't have time for that right now.
00:07:36I know you really want me to have a date to your party,
00:07:38but I'm not interested in seeing anybody.
00:07:41Well, when was the last time you went on a date?
00:07:45How about we talk about your plans for the party?
00:07:48Oh, well, I've gotten RSVPs from everyone.
00:07:52The only person I'm concerned about is your mother.
00:07:55Yeah, I know.
00:07:57But after she gets the flood under control,
00:08:00she will be here.
00:08:01I hope so.
00:08:03I brought you a crossword puzzle.
00:08:05I love these.
00:08:06I really need help with this one.
00:08:08See, I fell for that as a kid, but you know,
00:08:11it's pretend there is one you just
00:08:13couldn't get without my help.
00:08:16You made me feel very important.
00:08:18But now I see that you didn't need my help at all.
00:08:22No, I did, and I still do.
00:08:25You were always better at these.
00:08:27So listen, if it's not Jason, maybe we could find you
00:08:31someone who likes puzzles, huh?
00:08:33Suppose there's no point in asking you to stop.
00:08:37What, stop loving you, stop wanting
00:08:40good people in your life?
00:08:41No, no, no point at all.
00:08:44Oh, what's wrong?
00:08:49I forgot to pick up the bread for dinner tonight,
00:08:53and Annabeth is going to be here.
00:08:55Oh, I can go.
00:08:56Would you?
00:08:57Yeah, uh-huh.
00:09:00But you have to go to George's Bakery on Main Street,
00:09:04because that's where I placed the order.
00:09:12Oh.
00:09:12Oh.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:14Oh.
00:09:15Oh.
00:09:16Penelope's grown into such a beautiful young woman.
00:09:19Grandma, we talked about this, remember?
00:09:22You and my favorite cousin Lily are the only beauties
00:09:25I want in my life this summer.
00:09:26I know, but Dot's like a sister to me, and it's Penelope.
00:09:30You used to think she was someone special.
00:09:32Someone special?
00:09:33He was completely smitten.
00:09:36Grandma.
00:09:37All right, all right, all right.
00:09:38Why don't the two of you head down to the bookstore?
00:09:40I can get books on my phone.
00:09:42You can get a whole lot more than that at the bookstore.
00:09:44Like a coffee date with your rotterobics instructor?
00:09:47Well, did you want me to give her a call?
00:09:49No.
00:09:49No, thank you.
00:09:51I want you to pick up a copy of my senior's weekly magazine
00:09:54while you're down there.
00:09:56You got that delivered yesterday.
00:09:59I gave it to Dot, so I need another one.
00:10:03All right, come on.
00:10:04Oh, by the way, I have a new optometrist, Jason.
00:10:08She is so pretty.
00:10:10Grandma, remember, you and Lily are the only beauties.
00:10:16You are such a charmer.
00:10:19Ready?
00:10:20For it.
00:10:21Hi.
00:10:39Well, can it be?
00:10:43The bakery looks amazing.
00:10:45I'll have to admit, I doubted when you told
00:10:47me your renovation plans, but great job.
00:10:49Thank you very much.
00:10:50That's not the only thing that's new here.
00:10:52Have you met my grandson, David?
00:10:54He's moved back.
00:10:57George, I would love to stay and catch up,
00:10:59but I have to hurry back.
00:11:00He's recently single, and he's really good looking.
00:11:04Gets his good looks from his mother, of course.
00:11:06David, get out here.
00:11:10David, this is Penn.
00:11:12She's visiting from San Francisco.
00:11:14Dot's granddaughter.
00:11:15The teacher, right?
00:11:17He's in a band.
00:11:18We're called Star Rising.
00:11:22Got bread.
00:11:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, OK.
00:11:27We'll put that on Dot's tab.
00:11:31Your grandmother's a mighty fine woman.
00:11:33I baked something special just for her.
00:11:35Now, you make sure that you say hello from me.
00:11:38Oh, and from David, of course, as well.
00:11:39I will.
00:11:40Thank you.
00:11:41Bye-bye.
00:11:42Bye.
00:11:43See ya.
00:11:44Penn!
00:11:45Lilybug, get over here.
00:11:49So how's your first year in middle school?
00:11:51You're in middle school already?
00:11:55I got my own phone.
00:11:56That is a huge milestone, and a very pretty case.
00:12:00Uh-huh, Jason told Grandma that you were somewhat special.
00:12:03I didn't say that.
00:12:06Well, you know, once upon a time,
00:12:07we were actually very great friends.
00:12:12What'd you get?
00:12:13I got a wrinkle in time.
00:12:15That is one of my all-time favorites.
00:12:16You are going to absolutely love it.
00:12:18Really?
00:12:19Yeah.
00:12:20My students always do.
00:12:21I love watching them, because when they read it,
00:12:23their faces light up.
00:12:24I always knew you'd make a great teacher.
00:12:30Interesting choice.
00:12:31It's actually for Josie.
00:12:34So are you here for the summer?
00:12:37Yeah, actually.
00:12:38You know, in grad school, I started
00:12:39coming back for Christmases.
00:12:40But this is really the first summer I've had a chance.
00:12:45I'm so sorry.
00:12:45I got to get this.
00:12:46Bye.
00:12:47Hi.
00:12:48Hi.
00:12:49OK.
00:12:50Just a second.
00:12:52Penn, I just got a call from Adams and Andrews.
00:12:55They're interested in a publishing deal.
00:12:57Are you serious?
00:12:58Hey, hold on.
00:12:59There's a but.
00:13:00Right, yes.
00:13:01What is it?
00:13:02They want a lot of story revision.
00:13:04And they want the final draft done by the end of the month.
00:13:10Liam, I can totally do this.
00:13:12I promise.
00:13:13I'll send you the first round.
00:13:14Have them done by tomorrow afternoon.
00:13:16All right.
00:13:20Yes!
00:13:27What?
00:13:28You tell me what.
00:13:31Come on, let's go home.
00:13:32Thank you.
00:13:33Thanks.
00:13:34OK.
00:13:35Bye-bye.
00:13:44A yacht.
00:13:45Yeah, I've been really into sailboats lately.
00:13:49There's a lot you could do with them design-wise,
00:13:51except I've been stuck at this part for a while.
00:13:53Wow.
00:13:54I can hardly wait to sail in that one day.
00:13:57Hm.
00:14:01Isn't it so great being here in the summer?
00:14:06You get to know your cousin.
00:14:08Lily comes when her parents are working for her break,
00:14:10just like you did.
00:14:12Her parents ship her off so they can hammer out
00:14:13a divorce like mine did too.
00:14:15I know when your parents got divorced
00:14:17that you thought you had to take care of your mom, get a job,
00:14:21give up your dream.
00:14:24You don't.
00:14:25That's not true.
00:14:27I always thought you'd be a great naval architect.
00:14:31Would it be corny if I say that ship has sailed?
00:14:34Maybe it's time for you to meet somebody special.
00:14:37Please, Grandma.
00:14:40No more setups.
00:14:42I have been here two days, and you've
00:14:43arranged four meetings, five if you count
00:14:46Penelope in the driveway, and I do.
00:14:50Uh-huh.
00:14:51Right now, I am just focused on being here.
00:14:56The only place that feels like home anymore.
00:14:58Oh, honey.
00:15:01OK.
00:15:03Hey, if you feel like sailing, I still have the old boat.
00:15:11It's a bit of a wreck, and the sail's torn, but it floats.
00:15:14Maybe you could fix it up while you're here.
00:15:16I'd love to.
00:15:22Oh, hey.
00:15:33What did you think of the new bakery?
00:15:36Did you meet George's grandson?
00:15:38He's not my type.
00:15:39Oh, I think he's a lovely young man.
00:15:42He's in a band.
00:15:44Oh, trust me, I heard.
00:15:46Well, maybe he could be your date for my party.
00:15:50I think I'm going to pass.
00:15:52Well, maybe you'll like Brian better.
00:15:55Brian?
00:15:56Who's Brian?
00:15:57He's Annabeth's friend.
00:15:59He's coming over for dinner.
00:16:00Pen?
00:16:01Ah!
00:16:03Oh, I missed you so much.
00:16:05How's life? How's work?
00:16:06Wait.
00:16:07First, you have to tell me about this Chad guy.
00:16:10Or you could just meet him.
00:16:13Hi.
00:16:14Hey.
00:16:15Yeah, Chad, this is my boyfriend, Chad.
00:16:18Now, you're the cousin who might as well be a sister who
00:16:21can't get here fast enough and should probably just move here
00:16:24or something like that.
00:16:25Um, yeah.
00:16:26It's a pleasure to meet you.
00:16:27Likewise.
00:16:28Oh, my friend Brian's on his way over.
00:16:30He's a dentist.
00:16:31Well, wonderful.
00:16:32Pen has such lovely teeth.
00:16:36Now, if we hurry up with dinner, we can make the dancing.
00:16:39Oh.
00:16:40Oh, Grandma, I'm not going to be able to go dancing.
00:16:42I'm exhausted and I have a lot of work to do.
00:16:45Work?
00:16:46Yeah, and I'm really behind.
00:16:49She, uh, made us bring Brian.
00:16:52I know it's her way.
00:16:53I can't believe she's trying to make
00:16:55you and Jason happen again.
00:16:58You know, she must really want you to bring
00:17:00a date to her birthday party.
00:17:01Gotta hand it to her.
00:17:02That woman has some serious determination.
00:17:04Ha ha.
00:17:07Hey, so why did you two ever break up anyway?
00:17:13I can't remember.
00:17:13It was so long ago.
00:17:15Uh-huh.
00:17:18OK.
00:17:19It was senior year, and we were both really
00:17:23focused on the future, you know, trying to figure out
00:17:26where we wanted to go to college and what we wanted to study,
00:17:28who we wanted to be, all of that.
00:17:30And Jason kept asking how we could
00:17:35ever be sure about our love.
00:17:40But that was ages ago.
00:17:42There is absolutely no way I'm going to date
00:17:44my old high school boyfriend.
00:17:46Oh.
00:17:48So what are you working on?
00:17:51Grandma Dot's birthday present.
00:17:53Ooh, what is it?
00:17:56You'll find out.
00:17:57Well, aren't you just full of secrets?
00:18:03I'm going to borrow this.
00:18:04Dan, come see.
00:18:06The neighbors have a new pool boy.
00:18:09OK.
00:18:10And you were saying?
00:18:11She's relentless.
00:18:12Struggle is real.
00:18:17Oh, Pam.
00:18:19So glad you're awake.
00:18:21What happened?
00:18:22The sink is clogged.
00:18:23Jason was kind enough to come help.
00:18:29Anyway, I'm running a little late for my book club.
00:18:33Would you mind helping Jason while I'm gone?
00:18:35Oh, I was just about to go to works.
00:18:37Oh, thank you, dear.
00:18:39You've got the puzzle, and I'll be back soon.
00:18:41Mm-hmm.
00:18:45My grandma broke her own sink, didn't she?
00:18:47That's my guess, yeah.
00:18:51Very nice of you for helping her.
00:18:53Of course.
00:18:55I'm sure our grandmothers will have
00:18:56lots of chores for you to do.
00:18:58I am already supposed to fix a sail on my grandma's boat.
00:19:02Well, that sounds a lot more legit than pulling
00:19:04dishrags out of the sink.
00:19:08I just wanted to apologize if my being here
00:19:09is causing you any problems at all.
00:19:11Oh.
00:19:12No, no problems.
00:19:14We should both be able to visit our grandmothers
00:19:16and let history be.
00:19:19History.
00:19:20Right.
00:19:21Yes.
00:19:22Yeah.
00:19:26So do you actually need my help?
00:19:28No, I've got this.
00:19:29Great.
00:19:31Oh.
00:19:39We need a better idea.
00:19:41Time.
00:19:42Just give it time.
00:19:43How did you clog the drain?
00:19:45Dishcloth.
00:19:46Good idea.
00:19:47Oh.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:57Hen, have you met Gray?
00:20:01He's my pharmacist.
00:20:04I told him you were an English teacher,
00:20:05so he wrote you a poem.
00:20:07You might recognize the inspiration.
00:20:13Lilies are white.
00:20:14Daffodils are yellow.
00:20:16I wrote you this poem just to say hello.
00:20:21Oh.
00:20:22Um, I'm so sorry.
00:20:24I forgot I have to go.
00:20:45Just one coffee, Black, please.
00:20:46You had a problem.
00:20:52Are you following me?
00:20:53I know it sure seems like you're following me.
00:20:56Whoa, what's going on?
00:20:58I don't have time for grandma dot's matchmaking,
00:20:59and especially not with you.
00:21:02Well, I didn't know you were going to be here.
00:21:05Just trying to avoid a date with Rhonda,
00:21:06who still practices her high school cheers.
00:21:08Well, I am here avoiding Greg, the poet slash pharmacist.
00:21:15You win.
00:21:17Thank you.
00:21:19Oh, look, I had a lot of work, so.
00:21:23But I am sure that I will see you later.
00:21:26There you go.
00:21:37Jason, just please, I am so glad you decided to call.
00:21:42What are you doing?
00:21:43I just told you that I'm.
00:21:44You are right.
00:21:45This was a great idea.
00:21:48I believe, if you would rather hear more of Greg's poetry.
00:21:54Should I stay or should I leave?
00:21:56Cheers.
00:21:56Cheers.
00:21:58You must have a lot of work to do.
00:22:00You know, why don't you come back another time?
00:22:01Mm-hmm.
00:22:08It worked.
00:22:11I can't believe that worked.
00:22:12There really is no off button, is there?
00:22:14No.
00:22:16Unless we keep this up.
00:22:19Keep what up?
00:22:21This.
00:22:22Pretending to date.
00:22:27You've got to be kidding me.
00:22:29If the grandmas think we're dating,
00:22:31then maybe they'll stop introducing us
00:22:32to every single person in the 20-year age range.
00:22:37Come on.
00:22:38You know what'll work.
00:22:40Just in.
00:22:41You and me, us.
00:22:44Fake dating after everything.
00:22:49And what do you get out of it?
00:22:50What other than peace and quiet?
00:22:54I guess I could probably use some help restoring the boat.
00:22:59OK, I have my reasons.
00:23:05I just got out of a very serious relationship.
00:23:07And as much as I appreciate my grandma's constant setups,
00:23:12I'm not ready yet.
00:23:14Dating you would buy me a little breathing room.
00:23:16Breathing room?
00:23:17Yeah, like time to reset.
00:23:21It's OK.
00:23:22I get it.
00:23:25I really need time to focus on my project distraction free.
00:23:29Right.
00:23:31Grandma Dot's big birthday bash.
00:23:3475 years.
00:23:35Yeah, that too.
00:23:37She does really want me to have a date.
00:23:41What do you mean, that too?
00:23:43Do you promise that this stays between us?
00:23:46I literally just told you my secret.
00:23:48So yes, absolutely.
00:23:50I'm trying to publish a book.
00:23:52That's great.
00:23:53Why is that a secret?
00:23:54I just, I don't want my family to know, OK?
00:23:57There's a, there are a lot of revisions
00:23:59to do in very little time.
00:24:00And this plan would be perfect.
00:24:03Think about it.
00:24:04There's no more setups, no more blind dates,
00:24:07no more broken sinks.
00:24:08And it won't be like it used to because we're just pretending.
00:24:11It's just for the summer.
00:24:15Just for the summer?
00:24:17Just for the summer.
00:24:18OK.
00:24:30I'm going to get it right.
00:24:34Yeah, you know I'm going to get it.
00:24:37I'm going to win that fight for your love, yeah.
00:24:41You know I'm going to win it.
00:24:45Some kind of magic, oh girl.
00:24:49I got to get it out of my head.
00:24:52Some kind of magic, oh baby.
00:24:56Like some kind of button in my chest.
00:25:00What's wrong?
00:25:02You don't really need to hold hands.
00:25:04We need to settle this, just play along.
00:25:08Maybe try not to wince every time I touch you.
00:25:12It'll be fine.
00:25:33What are you guys looking at?
00:25:35Just working, right?
00:25:38So here we go.
00:25:39Hi.
00:25:40Hi.
00:25:41Oh, I had no idea.
00:25:45So when did it happen?
00:25:48At the park.
00:25:49At the marina.
00:25:50At the marina.
00:25:51We kept running into each other.
00:25:52That's what it was.
00:25:53Just talking.
00:25:54Just so much to catch up on.
00:25:55Yeah, and we both found out that we still love sailing.
00:25:57Oh, that's wonderful.
00:25:58Yeah, Penn loves it.
00:25:59It's actually her passion.
00:26:01I don't know if I'd say it's quite my passion.
00:26:04I thought you did.
00:26:05Oh, no.
00:26:06Well, we were going to sail around the lake
00:26:08and fix up the boat together.
00:26:10We are?
00:26:11That's what we talked about, Penn.
00:26:13Right?
00:26:14No distractions, get away.
00:26:15Yeah.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:17No distractions.
00:26:18Oh, boy, you two sure played it coy.
00:26:23But you finally come to your senses.
00:26:25Oh, you know.
00:26:27Yeah, oh, say, why don't the two of you
00:26:30come with Annabeth and me tomorrow
00:26:32to meet the caterer for my birthday party?
00:26:34Hmm.
00:26:35No, you...
00:26:36Grandma, we didn't look up to do that,
00:26:38but actually, we have a date.
00:26:40A date.
00:26:41It's a date.
00:26:42Yeah.
00:26:43Wonderful.
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:45What are you doing?
00:26:46What?
00:26:47On your date.
00:26:48We were going to go...
00:26:49Ballroom dancing.
00:26:50Ballroom, right.
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:52I actually meant to say about that.
00:26:53I was thinking you said...
00:26:54Oh, we're really excited about an army cookie.
00:26:57A cookie doesn't look that excited.
00:27:00He's as excited about that as I am about sailing.
00:27:04Right.
00:27:05We're...
00:27:06We're just excited.
00:27:15Sailing?
00:27:16I thought you liked sailing.
00:27:17You like sailing.
00:27:18I only went because you wanted me to.
00:27:21And how am I supposed to get any work done
00:27:23if I'm helping you on the boat?
00:27:25You'll write, and I'll fix the sail.
00:27:27We'll tell our grandmas we did it together.
00:27:29So I'm going to...
00:27:30I'm going to write on the dock.
00:27:32It's a really great work environment.
00:27:34Well, the real question is,
00:27:36how are we possibly going to get any work done
00:27:38with all this ballroom dancing we're doing?
00:27:43I panicked.
00:27:44Now we actually have to go.
00:27:46No, we don't.
00:27:48We can tell them that we're going ballroom dancing,
00:27:50but instead, we're going to come down to the dock,
00:27:52and we're going to work.
00:27:53Well, that's a great plan.
00:27:54I thought so.
00:27:56Great.
00:27:57Great.
00:27:59I love you.
00:28:10Damn.
00:28:11Tell me a joke.
00:28:14Um...
00:28:15Well...
00:28:17This one's hard.
00:28:18Oof.
00:28:19By the time we solve this,
00:28:21it should be a piece of cake
00:28:23to figure out where everybody's going to stay for my party.
00:28:27Hmm.
00:28:29Grandma?
00:28:31How many people are coming to your party?
00:28:33Friends or relatives.
00:28:36And how many people are staying in this house?
00:28:40Um...
00:28:43About a dozen.
00:28:45Oh, okay. Uh...
00:28:50Well, we'll figure it out, but I actually have to go meet Jason.
00:28:55A date. Oh, how exciting.
00:28:59Uh, don't you want to, uh...
00:29:02wear something a little nicer?
00:29:04Oh, uh...
00:29:06No, it's just dance.
00:29:08You know, it's, like, practically a workout.
00:29:10I think I'm good.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:30Remember when we'd stay in the lake till our fingers wrinkled?
00:29:33Huh?
00:29:35Well, when we were teenagers.
00:29:37We lived in this lake.
00:29:39I'm sorry. I really need to focus right now.
00:29:41Sorry.
00:29:49We'd be shivering, but we refused to get out of the lake.
00:29:52Feels like ages ago.
00:29:55We had a lot of fun.
00:30:02Uh, so, Penn.
00:30:04Mm-hmm?
00:30:05You told me about the book you're writing.
00:30:10Sorry.
00:30:11I should let you work.
00:30:13No, no, it's about a girl that's growing up in Michigan.
00:30:17You write what you know, huh?
00:30:23Is that all you're gonna tell me about it?
00:30:25You'll just have to wait and find out.
00:30:39At least tell me why you don't want your family to know about it.
00:30:42If the deal goes through,
00:30:44I'm going to dedicate it to my grandma
00:30:47and give it to her for her birthday.
00:30:49She's always been the biggest supporter of me
00:30:51and following my dreams.
00:30:53I just hope that if this deal does come through,
00:30:56it happens before the party.
00:30:58That's really thoughtful.
00:31:01You could still give her the book,
00:31:03even if you haven't heard back from the publisher yet.
00:31:05No. I've had too many rejection notices already.
00:31:09I just, I can't risk telling her
00:31:12until it's certain. It would be too embarrassing.
00:31:15She'd still be proud of you.
00:31:17I'm a failed book.
00:31:21If this publisher passes,
00:31:23and with all the revisions that they're requiring,
00:31:25they probably will, then it just wasn't meant to be.
00:31:27You'd give up on your dream?
00:31:31I'd just be facing reality.
00:31:37Look, I just really don't want anybody to know right now.
00:31:39I get it.
00:31:42You are going to try to make those revisions, all right?
00:31:46I'm trying.
00:31:52I miss summers out here on this lake.
00:31:55It reminds me of what my life was like
00:31:57before my parents split up.
00:32:00You've really changed after that.
00:32:04Yeah.
00:32:06Yeah, it was hard.
00:32:08But then you just get used to the way things are.
00:32:12New normal.
00:32:14So you think.
00:32:18I quit my job at McGill's.
00:32:23I couldn't take it anymore.
00:32:25I started working there because my parents really wanted me to be...
00:32:29safe.
00:32:33I didn't think it was going to be my life, you know?
00:32:36I just wanted time.
00:32:38I wanted time to figure out where I want to go next.
00:32:43What I want to do.
00:33:00Hey.
00:33:01Hey.
00:33:02I brought you a herbal tea.
00:33:04I brought you a herbal tea.
00:33:06Oh, thank you.
00:33:10You know, even though I like big birthday parties,
00:33:14I don't like big surprises.
00:33:18I know. It's okay.
00:33:20If you say so.
00:33:22You know, I remember when you were a little girl,
00:33:25you used to sleep over here on weekends and stay in this room.
00:33:29It feels like yesterday.
00:33:32I am so proud of you, Penn.
00:33:34You know that, right?
00:33:36I know.
00:33:37So, did you and Jason have fun today?
00:33:43Yeah.
00:33:44It was nice.
00:33:47Good.
00:33:50I'll never forget Cousin Richard's wedding.
00:33:53No, don't. Don't tell this again, please.
00:33:57You were about six years old,
00:33:59and there the two of you were standing up there all dressed up.
00:34:02I do remember.
00:34:04And after Richard said, I do,
00:34:06Jason looked right at you and clear as a bell said, I do too.
00:34:11Yeah, Grandma, we were five.
00:34:13That was a very, very long time ago.
00:34:15Time is nothing on fate, my dear.
00:34:19What's meant to be will be.
00:34:21You were exactly right about that, Grandma.
00:34:25You know, I just want you to be happy, Penn.
00:34:27That's all.
00:34:28And no matter what, I love you.
00:34:31I love you, too.
00:34:34So, tomorrow morning for puzzles?
00:34:36Oh, you know what?
00:34:38It's on.
00:34:41Good night.
00:34:42Good night.
00:34:59What on earth are you doing?
00:35:02You gotta come see this.
00:35:05What are you talking about?
00:35:08I'll meet you out front.
00:35:10This is crazy.
00:35:19Okay.
00:35:23What?
00:35:25Bet it's even better from the beach.
00:35:38Oh, wow.
00:35:40Biggest full moon I've ever seen.
00:35:43You know, you could have just texted me instead of scaring me half to death.
00:35:48Some old habits never die.
00:35:54Hmm.
00:36:07So, is tonight the night you finally tell me about this story I've been hearing about?
00:36:12Because I'm dying to know.
00:36:14Maybe.
00:36:16Consider it a bedtime story.
00:36:19She finds these woods near the lake that nobody knows about.
00:36:28And she figures out that when she's in these woods, time stops.
00:36:32Stops?
00:36:33Yeah.
00:36:34Like, completely?
00:36:35But only in the woods.
00:36:37Well, right?
00:36:39So, she decides that she's gonna stay because she's afraid of growing up.
00:36:44Well, that I can relate to.
00:36:48Sorry, I'm just— I'm getting into the story. Okay.
00:36:51Does she ever find a way out?
00:36:54Well, at first she makes a life for herself there.
00:36:57But then, yes.
00:36:59She musters the courage up and she leaves and goes home.
00:37:04Let me guess.
00:37:05Everything's changed.
00:37:07Who's telling this story?
00:37:08Sorry.
00:37:11As I was saying,
00:37:14she, um, she steps out of the woods.
00:37:19And time catches up fast.
00:37:21She instantly becomes an adult.
00:37:23She matures. She grows taller. Her face looks different.
00:37:26She hadn't realized how long she'd been gone.
00:37:30Does she ever find her family?
00:37:32Yes, but they've all forgotten about her.
00:37:39That's a sad story.
00:37:42No, it has a happy ending.
00:37:46Or it will.
00:37:49What happens?
00:37:52We're gonna have to read it to find out.
00:37:54Come on. There's no way you're doing that to me. Come on.
00:37:59Okay, but seriously, you will actually have to wait to read it until I write it.
00:38:05Or rewrite it.
00:38:09That's one of the main revisions the editor is insisting on.
00:38:15They didn't like your ending?
00:38:17Not one bit.
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:21Yeah, it doesn't feel finished.
00:38:24And you became a literary critic somewhere along the way.
00:38:27I'm not saying I know anybody.
00:38:28See, I was trying to show how when we grow up,
00:38:32we have to move on and she has to have the courage to face all the...
00:38:35I get that people would have to move on, I understand that,
00:38:37but it seems weird that they would actually forget about it.
00:38:42Yeah, I suppose.
00:38:44I think maybe it's kind of like
00:38:47how people tend to remember others at the age they last knew them.
00:38:51Like our grandmas.
00:38:53How they always remember us being in high school.
00:38:57Yeah, they really do.
00:39:01So maybe somebody goes looking for her.
00:39:05Yeah.
00:39:11Yeah, but what really draws me into this story is how she builds this life for herself.
00:39:16And it's how she develops courage.
00:39:22So maybe he doesn't find her.
00:39:26Maybe he gets lost too.
00:39:28As a way to show that she wasn't forgotten.
00:39:32Maybe he doesn't find her until they both come back.
00:39:38And so she hadn't realized that he'd looked for her.
00:39:41Maybe.
00:39:43It could happen.
00:39:48I'm sure you've got a better solution than that.
00:39:50No, I actually think there's really something to this.
00:39:54I have to figure out how it affects the rest of the story.
00:39:58I kind of feel like I just saw a lightbulb come on over your head.
00:40:04That's called the moon.
00:40:18Thanks for showing me.
00:40:20Yeah.
00:40:23I think I might go back to bed.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:29Goodnight.
00:40:31Goodnight.
00:40:52I just talked to my mom on the phone.
00:40:54She says hi, love you, and they'll be here for Dad's birthday party.
00:40:57That's great, honey. I can hardly wait to see them.
00:41:01Is that a full moon in the middle of a lake?
00:41:05No, I see it.
00:41:07It's a daisy, right?
00:41:09Yeah. Does it look all right?
00:41:11You should make a bunch of little ones to go around the edges.
00:41:14It's not a bad idea.
00:41:15Didn't realize you'd turned your artistic talents to pie dough.
00:41:19I hope the new baked pie is one of my favorite memories.
00:41:21Making little extra pieces of crust into shapes, baking them with cinnamon and sugar.
00:41:26I do that every summer.
00:41:28Oh, well, I haven't done a lot of dough work since.
00:41:32Okay.
00:41:33Does that look like a daisy?
00:41:35You should be an artist.
00:41:37You should see his boat drawings.
00:41:39You draw boats?
00:41:40I once thought about designing sailboats for a living.
00:41:43Still do it for fun sometimes.
00:41:45What happened?
00:41:47Well, my mom thought I should pursue something more practical.
00:41:51That's how you ended up working in the city?
00:41:53Exactly.
00:41:54She suggested I pursue something that allows me to afford my passions.
00:41:59That sounds like diet food.
00:42:01What?
00:42:02Like when you're biting into a chocolate chip cookie, but all the good stuff is replaced with chemicals.
00:42:11You're going to need to cover the edges.
00:42:14I don't remember you doing that.
00:42:15Well, I didn't often bake with such artistry.
00:42:18But when you do, you've got to manage the baking so you don't burn all these lovely details.
00:42:23All right.
00:42:27Yay!
00:42:29See, Jason?
00:42:30Try as you might, but you got nothing on Grandma.
00:42:33Oh, is that so?
00:42:35Well, if I were you, I would start running.
00:42:38Because I will catch you.
00:42:39And when I do, I will throw you into that lake!
00:42:46Are you passing the bait?
00:42:48Yeah.
00:42:49So far, so far.
00:42:58Enough already.
00:42:59Hi.
00:43:00What are you working on so hard during your vacation?
00:43:03Oh, you know, just all those lesson plans and tests and things like that.
00:43:10You always were such a hard worker.
00:43:12I don't mean to boast, but I think you get it from me.
00:43:14Oh, well, I'm honored.
00:43:17Although, your grandpa was a hard worker, too.
00:43:21Did I ever tell you about the time we met?
00:43:24No, but he did.
00:43:26He said he fell in love with you the moment he set his eyes on you.
00:43:30Oh.
00:43:31Yeah.
00:43:32Well, it wasn't mutual.
00:43:33I thought he was horrible.
00:43:35He was arrogant and just plain rude.
00:43:38Oh.
00:43:39Well, he told me that you guys met at the college bookstore buying textbooks.
00:43:42We did.
00:43:43I reached up for the last biology book on the shelf, but he was so tall, he leaned over me and grabbed it first.
00:43:52So, I did a quick turn and a little elbow, and I thrust all the rest of my books in his arms,
00:43:58and I said, if you're going to carry my biology book, you might as well carry all my books.
00:44:03Oh, what a spitfire.
00:44:05I'm sure he fell in love with you right there.
00:44:08Naturally.
00:44:09So, what happened?
00:44:11Well, he started to talk back to me, but I put my hands on my hips, and I gave him the look.
00:44:17Oh, you already had your teacher face.
00:44:19Oh, yeah.
00:44:20And then his face burst into that grin he had, but he saw I was having none of it.
00:44:27So, he marched all my books up to the cashier, and then he just stood there, grinning.
00:44:33I just thought he was rude.
00:44:35I just thought he was rude.
00:44:36Okay, but I know this part.
00:44:39Didn't he walk you home with your books?
00:44:42They were very heavy books, so yes, I let him walk me home.
00:44:45It was the least he could do.
00:44:47So, what happened then?
00:44:49On the way, he apologized for not having noticed me, and he said he had been working full time to pay for school,
00:44:57and he was so tired, but then he said he would never not notice me again.
00:45:03Yeah, that's really sweet.
00:45:06So, he wasn't that bad after all.
00:45:08Exactly.
00:45:11So, I gave him a chance.
00:45:14You know, I'm thinking about him a lot lately, because of the party.
00:45:20I wish he could be here for it.
00:45:22You know, I don't think Grandpa would mind if you met somebody.
00:45:27Hold on, I know where you're going.
00:45:29Maybe you are the person who needs a date to your big birthday bash.
00:45:33And you went there?
00:45:34George.
00:45:38Missy, you leave the matchmaking to me.
00:45:42Okay.
00:45:43Okay.
00:45:44Love you.
00:45:45Love you too. Thank you.
00:45:46Don't work too hard.
00:46:00Nice.
00:46:05You startled me.
00:46:07Sorry.
00:46:08Oh, sorry about that.
00:46:11I thought I would bring you a snack while you worked.
00:46:13Oh, that's really sweet of you.
00:46:15Thank you.
00:46:16Actually, your grandma saw you sitting out here and insisted I bring it to you.
00:46:20I shouldn't have said that.
00:46:21I should have just taken the compliment, shouldn't I?
00:46:23Well, that's very sweet of her.
00:46:26They're eating the pie.
00:46:28That's great.
00:46:29That's just great.
00:46:31I'm just going to sit here for another minute,
00:46:33because she's definitely still watching us.
00:46:36But I promise not to bother you.
00:46:38Okay.
00:46:39Thank you.
00:46:43I made the pie for myself, but she insisted I bring it to you.
00:46:47Well, you can eat it.
00:46:49Oh, I just...
00:46:51I just wanted to say thank you.
00:46:53You can eat it.
00:46:54Oh, I just...
00:46:56I didn't want you to think I was, like, weird
00:46:58and just bringing you a random pie out of the blue, so...
00:47:00Gotcha.
00:47:04I remembered that you always liked cinnamon,
00:47:06so I put a little bit in the crust,
00:47:08but don't tell anyone that's a secret ingredient.
00:47:15What's wrong with page 43?
00:47:17Absolutely everything.
00:47:19You really should try some of that pie while it's still warm.
00:47:22I'm sorry.
00:47:23I said I wasn't going to bother you, and I am.
00:47:26No, it's...
00:47:27It's...
00:47:28It's okay.
00:47:29I really need to take a break.
00:47:32And here you are with pie.
00:47:35Okay.
00:47:41Aren't you going to slice it?
00:47:43Slices are for amateurs.
00:47:45We like washing dishes.
00:47:48Okay.
00:47:50Oh.
00:47:51You are definitely better at this than I am.
00:47:54Years of practice.
00:47:56Mmm, that is so good.
00:47:59Mmm.
00:48:02Cheers.
00:48:04What are we cheersing to?
00:48:06You.
00:48:08Your book. Your book.
00:48:10Your book is going to be incredible.
00:48:11No, it's not, because it's probably never going to happen.
00:48:14What makes you say that?
00:48:16Because now the editor wants me to change the setting,
00:48:18apparently the woods are too spooky, which I don't even get.
00:48:20But whatever.
00:48:21I mean, maybe it's just time to throw in the towel.
00:48:26Oh, come on. Don't say that.
00:48:28You're going to figure something out.
00:48:29No.
00:48:30I really don't think I am.
00:48:32I am way too attached to this story.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:37Look at it this way.
00:48:39You're not changing the story because you're selling out.
00:48:42You're changing the story because you want other people to find the same joy in it that you do.
00:48:46Yeah, except that probably nobody's going to read it,
00:48:48because it's very hard for new authors that are starting out,
00:48:51and I am just...
00:48:54I'm out of ideas. For now. At least.
00:48:57Have you tried hanging upside down?
00:49:01Excuse me?
00:49:03Okay, follow me.
00:49:05When I'm stuck, I like to hang upside down.
00:49:07It gets the blood moving to your brain, it gets the ideas flowing.
00:49:12What are you doing?
00:49:13I'm looking for a good place to hang.
00:49:14I'm not hanging upside down. This is very serious.
00:49:18Okay.
00:49:21Why don't we row out to the little island like we used to?
00:49:25It might have the same effect. I don't know.
00:49:30Okay.
00:49:32Coming back for you later, buddy.
00:49:36All right.
00:49:40Do you know how long it is?
00:49:41Oh, yeah. It's been a minute.
00:49:45What do you think?
00:49:47I'm curious.
00:50:01Okay, the woods aren't too spooky.
00:50:02Yeah.
00:50:06But so is a cave in an old man's house. It's just...
00:50:09It's really frustrating.
00:50:14That setting is everything to this story.
00:50:16Well, maybe it needs to be more personal then.
00:50:19Yeah, like something that's...
00:50:21Some place that's normally really safe.
00:50:23Until she gets to know this new side of it.
00:50:26That could work. But where?
00:50:29When you told me about the story the other night,
00:50:31it reminded me that we used to play on that island when we were little kids.
00:50:36We used to spend so much time there.
00:50:40That's perfect.
00:50:41That's... That's completely perfect.
00:50:44A little island on the outside and then this secret world on the inside.
00:51:12I hate to admit it,
00:51:15but you did kind of help me come up with the perfect solution to my story.
00:51:19It's a dream.
00:51:21It's easier to support.
00:51:24Excuse me?
00:51:26I don't mean to interrupt your date.
00:51:29Oh, it's okay.
00:51:31Jason was just leaving.
00:51:33Oh, no.
00:51:35I'm sorry.
00:51:37It's okay.
00:51:38Jason was just leaving.
00:51:40Oh, no.
00:51:42Well, I'm sure he'd rather stay here and help us, wouldn't you, Jason?
00:51:45What are we doing?
00:51:47Penn and Annabeth will be making party favors.
00:51:50And you can help me address the event reminders.
00:51:53I don't remember the last time I addressed an actual envelope.
00:51:56Well, it'll be fun.
00:52:03It'll be fun.
00:52:05Oh, don't forget to put the glitter in before you seal it.
00:52:09Right. Right.
00:52:17Daisies.
00:52:20What?
00:52:22She likes daisies.
00:52:24And ice cream. She loves ice cream.
00:52:27Oh.
00:52:29Good to know.
00:52:35Who's coming from Thailand?
00:52:38My life coach.
00:52:45Suddenly really glad you prefer Penn over Penelope.
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:51Alexander is too long. I'm going to go with Alex.
00:52:54I'd even go with Al.
00:52:56Well, leave it to Grandma to come up with the most extravagant party favor ever.
00:53:00You know, Jason should be the one doing this. He's the artist.
00:53:02You're going to believe it when I hear that he's still working at McGill's.
00:53:05What do you mean?
00:53:07Well, his passion was always drawing and design.
00:53:10I know that. I mean, what do you mean, still working?
00:53:13I just don't think that being an investment banker has ever made him happy.
00:53:17I mean, well, he still has other things.
00:53:20You spend all this time with him and you don't know what his interests are?
00:53:23Oh, no. It's just that we've been, like, so busy talking about boats and work and Grandma's.
00:53:30Nice try.
00:53:32What does Jason like to do on the weekends?
00:53:34What's with the third degree?
00:53:36You don't know, do you?
00:53:38I do.
00:53:40I told you, we've just been really busy talking about other things.
00:53:44Like how you think you're fooling everyone?
00:53:48Does anybody else know?
00:53:50I'm the only one who suspects you.
00:53:52As far as I know.
00:53:54That's a rotten trick, Penn.
00:53:56No, it's not like that.
00:53:57We both just were just so sick of the matchmaking, we needed a break.
00:54:02I get it.
00:54:04And I can see that it's actually a pretty brilliant plan, right?
00:54:07It's definitely the only thing that I could see working.
00:54:09How's it going in there, girls?
00:54:11Oh, great.
00:54:13Almost done.
00:54:15Oh, yeah.
00:54:19So you won't tell?
00:54:21I'll keep your secret, but just be really careful.
00:54:25Just be really careful that no one gets hurt.
00:54:28No, I would never hurt the grandma.
00:54:30I mean, you or Jason.
00:54:33No, we are, oh no.
00:54:35We are so even, we are so clear that we are not interested in a relationship.
00:54:41You know?
00:54:43Okay.
00:54:45But you two have history.
00:54:47You should probably make peace about it.
00:54:50And you should definitely get to know each other more because high school was a long time ago and you work a lot.
00:54:55Completely different people back then.
00:54:57I guess you might be right about that.
00:55:00But you are writing Aunt Caroline's name with an L-I-N-E and not an L-O-I-N.
00:55:08Oh, yeah.
00:55:11Look me in the eye.
00:55:26Okay, I got the sail fixed.
00:55:29Can't seem to get the mast stable.
00:55:31Heads up, Annabeth figured us out.
00:55:34She won't tell.
00:55:36Guess people are ready for level two dating then, huh?
00:55:40Level two dating?
00:55:42Yeah, past the initial awkward stages where the you and me become a we.
00:55:46We're a us.
00:55:48I get it, Jason.
00:55:49All Annabeth was suggesting is that we get down some of the simple facts.
00:55:55Like, what do you like to do on the weekends?
00:55:58Do you have pets?
00:56:00You know.
00:56:02I think it's definitely level two.
00:56:04That's funny because it feels like we know each other but really we don't.
00:56:12You're a teacher and an aspiring writer living in an apartment in the city.
00:56:15Your favorite food is ice cream, but I don't know what flavor.
00:56:19On the weekends, you like to read and you are a coffee connoisseur.
00:56:23You've been paying attention.
00:56:27You like, you like sailing and baking.
00:56:31What happened to your art?
00:56:33I actually started drawing again recently.
00:56:35I'm designing boats, but just as an amateur.
00:56:40Oh, but have you ever considered doing it professionally?
00:56:42I'm not good enough for that.
00:56:45Yet.
00:56:47What else?
00:56:49I have a cat.
00:56:51My friend takes care of it while I'm gone.
00:56:53That's sweet.
00:56:55Yeah, he was a rescue.
00:56:57He's got one kind of squinty eye.
00:56:59His name's Popeye.
00:57:01Good name.
00:57:05But Jason, you're so talented and you have always been such a hard worker.
00:57:09There is no reason why you shouldn't pursue your dream.
00:57:11Not now.
00:57:13It's not the right time.
00:57:15It's the career that you're tied down to at the moment.
00:57:18Really, you're free to do anything.
00:57:21There's something else you should probably know about me.
00:57:24I was engaged.
00:57:26Oh.
00:57:28Engaged like past tense?
00:57:31Most definitely past tense.
00:57:33Turns out she loved the lifestyle my job afforded us more than me.
00:57:37Must have been really devastating.
00:57:39It was.
00:57:41It made me rethink everything in my life.
00:57:43Question all my choices.
00:57:46Again.
00:57:48Well.
00:57:50We all need to adjust our sails sometimes.
00:57:54Maybe you're just getting back on course.
00:57:57I see what you did there, by the way.
00:58:00Weaving everything back to sailing.
00:58:02Did you like that?
00:58:04You're such an English teacher.
00:58:06Or a writer.
00:58:08We'll drop it.
00:58:11I have to go help.
00:58:13Dinner.
00:58:15See you later?
00:58:39Anybody home?
00:58:41Hey.
00:58:44Just a second.
00:58:46Working hard?
00:58:48Yeah. Ever since our brainstorming session, the ideas have been flowing.
00:58:54Really? That's great.
00:58:59What is it?
00:59:01I just wish you'd tell her.
00:59:03If the deal goes through, I'm going to tell her.
00:59:05But it just doesn't mean anything if it doesn't get published.
00:59:07Yes, it does.
00:59:09It means everything.
00:59:11Hello, my little lovebirds.
00:59:15Are you here to help decorate for the party?
00:59:18Oh, I think we were...
00:59:20Actually, I was thinking we could go set up the boom today, if you're interested.
00:59:25But if you need my help, Grandma, I can stay and help you.
00:59:30Don't worry. Aunt Caroline's coming over.
00:59:33You two go have fun.
00:59:40We don't actually have to go. I just know you need time to write.
00:59:43No. Actually, I'd really like some air.
00:59:46Okay.
00:59:48Come on.
00:59:59Okay. Hold her steady.
01:00:05Wow.
01:00:07Okay, this is not my strong suit.
01:00:08You can't give up. You're so close now.
01:00:13Well, let's try.
01:00:19Is there some place around here that you can hang upside down and get the blood flowing?
01:00:23Excuse me.
01:00:29Or maybe.
01:00:31Oh.
01:00:33I don't know. I know this look.
01:00:35Don't you dare.
01:00:36Have you been in the lake yet this summer? It could really help.
01:00:40You're feeling brave, huh?
01:00:42Can you push me in?
01:00:44I'm taking you with me.
01:00:49Fine.
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:19She did it.
01:01:21She did it.
01:01:23Let me see.
01:01:25In the water.
01:01:30It's working.
01:01:32I really think they're fooling us.
01:01:37Yeah.
01:02:02I'm sorry.
01:02:06I remember these little boats in a bottle that you used to make.
01:02:11I really loved these.
01:02:13Grandma Josie was smart to teach me that.
01:02:15And took up a lot of my time.
01:02:17I can't believe how many you made of these.
01:02:19Yeah.
01:02:25Are these your designs?
01:02:28Yeah. Yeah. Some of these are pretty old.
01:02:36These are beautiful.
01:02:38Thank you.
01:02:46These are really good.
01:02:50You should submit these somewhere.
01:02:52I'm not nearly as bold as you are, Ben.
01:02:55No, I'm serious.
01:02:57I look at you now and you're publishing a book.
01:03:00That's really inspiring.
01:03:02I always kind of felt like you were the courageous one between the two of us.
01:03:06What?
01:03:08You're serious right now.
01:03:10Yeah.
01:03:12No, you were the person that was always getting me to do the very stupid, crazy things.
01:03:16Like, oh, sailing.
01:03:19Or, oh yeah, that one time you made me walk on a very frozen lake.
01:03:26That's not a wise choice.
01:03:28No, it was very courageous and I did it because of you.
01:03:33Well, I did it because of you.
01:03:37I always kind of felt like I was more when I was with you.
01:03:44But, after high school, I really wanted to find you and explain or try to explain.
01:03:56What do you mean?
01:03:58I really thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
01:04:01Graduation was coming up and I was freaking out about my future and my parents had gotten a divorce.
01:04:07I didn't really have a good idea of what a relationship should be.
01:04:13I mean, it could have been nice to find something in the middle between or nothing, but...
01:04:20I did finally realize my mistake.
01:04:25I looked you up and came back that summer.
01:04:28Wait.
01:04:30Wait, you came back here to...
01:04:33Kept a pretty low profile, but I saw you.
01:04:37You were with that guy.
01:04:40Kyle?
01:04:43You just up and left unexpectedly and disappeared and never...
01:04:49never explained. Was I just supposed to be waiting around for you?
01:04:52No, no, I didn't expect you to wait for me.
01:04:54You really should have talked to me instead of disappearing again.
01:04:58Would it have made a difference?
01:05:01I mean, it might have back then.
01:05:07But it really, it was so long ago.
01:05:11It just does not matter.
01:05:31Oh, careful, don't spill.
01:05:33I'm not a five-year-old.
01:05:35Accidents happen.
01:05:37Fine, you hold this then.
01:05:40Aw, I want this one to meet Grandma.
01:05:43Don't, uh...
01:05:45Alright.
01:05:47Again?
01:05:49This is so sweet with pen and dot.
01:05:51You should give this to her as a birthday gift.
01:05:54Or even better, you should give this to her as a birthday present.
01:05:57Give this to her as a birthday gift.
01:05:59Or even better, let me buy it from you and I'll give it to her.
01:06:03How much do you pay me for it?
01:06:06For a sketch of this quality, I could go as high as, say, a buck fifty?
01:06:11Uh, this drink costs twice that.
01:06:14Yeah, but that's branding.
01:06:16You're a new artist, and if I'm not mistaken, this is your first sale.
01:06:21Doesn't sound like it's your first time buying.
01:06:23My parents are both lawyers. I've learned to negotiate.
01:06:26You have an awful lot of pictures of pen.
01:06:29Were you practicing or something?
01:06:31Uh, yeah. Something.
01:06:33Hey, how much will it cost to keep that between the two of us?
01:06:37I'll keep your practice pictures secret.
01:06:40And?
01:06:42And you stop threatening to throw me in the lake.
01:06:45I mean, I don't know we even tried.
01:06:47You can't catch me.
01:06:49You can't catch me.
01:06:51You can't catch me.
01:06:53You can't catch me.
01:06:56See? You're way too slow.
01:07:03So, are we calling it a deal?
01:07:06Yeah, it's a deal.
01:07:25Did you order me-
01:07:27Cinnamon toast, buttered on both sides with no crust.
01:07:30How do you remember that?
01:07:32It's pretty hard to forget. It's like the only thing you ever ate after school.
01:07:39Are you going to sit?
01:07:41Yes.
01:07:43So, I figured we both could get some stuff done, and the grandmoms think we're on a date.
01:07:47Does that work?
01:07:49It's perfect. Thank you.
01:07:55Thank you.
01:08:10I'm done.
01:08:13As in, done, done?
01:08:16Yeah.
01:08:18Fuck!
01:08:20You idiot!
01:08:22I just didn't know.
01:08:26Yeah.
01:08:30When did it get so late?
01:08:35I can't believe I got all the revisions done in time.
01:08:38You know, I really wouldn't have been able to finish them without you, so thank you.
01:08:43Happy to help.
01:08:47Did you send it?
01:08:49I did.
01:08:51I don't know how long it's going to take now, but I'm really proud.
01:08:53You should be.
01:09:05Pack up?
01:09:07Yeah.
01:09:23What do you think about this? Your grandma.
01:09:26Nah, she has tons of beachy shell stuff.
01:09:30I still think you should write something for her. You know, she loves your stories.
01:09:35So, what's the latest with Jason?
01:09:38He...
01:09:41Yes, he's...
01:09:43What?
01:09:44Never mind. Look at this.
01:09:46Don't change the subject.
01:09:48You know, considering the history between you two...
01:09:51It's not all good history.
01:09:53You've been together for two weeks together.
01:09:55Not every minute.
01:09:57It's totally understandable that you've developed feelings for him.
01:09:59I told you. We are just becoming friends again.
01:10:03Admit it. It's more than that.
01:10:06Have you told him how you feel?
01:10:10I don't think that we're looking for the same things right now.
01:10:13Of course you are.
01:10:15You know, you can't just wait for the universe to do everything for you.
01:10:21Or grandma.
01:10:23If you want something, you've got to go out and you've got to get it.
01:10:26But you know that.
01:10:28See, I do have this...
01:10:33This sense of knowing him.
01:10:35Like, really deeply knowing him.
01:10:38But then on the other hand, I feel like I don't know him at all.
01:10:41So far, every time he has come into my life,
01:10:45every time I have started to care about him, he's...
01:10:49Disappeared. Abruptly.
01:10:50So how am I supposed to know that this time would be any different
01:10:54and he's not pretending and that maybe he would actually stick around?
01:10:58Well, he does keep coming back into your life.
01:11:02Just because he's the boy next door,
01:11:05doesn't mean that we are fated to be together.
01:11:07It's because you bring out the best in each other.
01:11:10That's why you belong together.
01:11:16What?
01:11:17What?
01:11:19I just found grandma Dot's birthday present.
01:11:24That's perfect.
01:11:26I'm getting it. It's so good.
01:11:34I have to figure out how to hang a big sheet for a screen.
01:11:37I think it could work.
01:11:40What are you two up to?
01:11:42Do you like movies?
01:11:44Of course.
01:11:45Well, we have a surprise for you. Just wait.
01:11:48Oh. How long do I have to wait?
01:12:02Summer in love.
01:12:07Or...
01:12:11A zombie in my basement.
01:12:13How?
01:12:15How?
01:12:18Zombie.
01:12:20Zombie.
01:12:43Hold me. I can't be held.
01:13:07I can't believe that Jason put all this together for grandma.
01:13:10I didn't even think of doing something like this. It's so much fun.
01:13:14He's a really good guy.
01:13:16He likes you.
01:13:18Actually, it's pretty clearly more than like.
01:13:21I told you.
01:13:23Especially flavored homemade ice cream.
01:13:25And that's not pretending.
01:13:27I'm just saying.
01:13:29I think you should tell him how you feel.
01:13:33What did I miss?
01:13:35What?
01:13:37This ice cream was amazing.
01:13:38You're the one brave enough to try it.
01:13:46Speaking of brave.
01:13:49Excuse me.
01:13:51Jason.
01:13:53One second.
01:13:55Yeah.
01:14:01I guess there will be another time.
01:14:09Bye.
01:14:17I can't believe it's finally done.
01:14:19It's so awesome.
01:14:26Is there any word about your...
01:14:28I'm sorry.
01:14:30You go first.
01:14:32Any word from your publisher yet?
01:14:34No. Not yet.
01:14:35This waiting might actually be harder than writing the novel.
01:14:39Well, I hope I delivered on my pledge to help.
01:14:42You really did.
01:14:44This has all been so helpful.
01:14:46Blake, you're quiet.
01:14:49You've really been able to focus.
01:14:54I just wish that I could stay here forever.
01:14:57Yeah. I get that.
01:15:00So I submitted a blueprint to the boat design competition.
01:15:05Hey, Jason.
01:15:07I'm so proud of you.
01:15:09Yeah. We'll see what happens.
01:15:11Either way, I'm going to pursue it further.
01:15:13I even looked up some contacts and some classes that might help me.
01:15:16That's awesome.
01:15:18Yeah. And I couldn't...
01:15:22I wouldn't have done it without you.
01:15:27Like I said before, you really inspire me.
01:15:30You...
01:15:32You had something to say.
01:15:33And I interrupted you. I'm so sorry. Please.
01:15:36Great.
01:15:39It's just...
01:15:41It's about getting to know you again this summer.
01:15:47You really helped me.
01:15:49I haven't...
01:15:51No, no, no. You have.
01:15:53After Michelle pulled off our engagement,
01:15:57I guess I was just shocked at how blindsided I got.
01:16:02And then I had this realization.
01:16:06It wasn't her fault.
01:16:08It was me.
01:16:10Because I had been on autopilot for a really long time.
01:16:14I need to figure out what made me happy.
01:16:17So our pretend arrangement has given me the time to do that.
01:16:22Totally, I get that.
01:16:26But there was something you wanted to say. I'm not going to interrupt again.
01:16:28I just wanted to say I'm really happy that we're friends again.
01:16:32Me too.
01:16:35Should we head back?
01:16:37Yeah.
01:16:51So...
01:16:53Yes?
01:16:55How's Ben?
01:16:57I knew it!
01:16:59Knew what?
01:17:01Jason Grint.
01:17:02So?
01:17:03You love her!
01:17:05He loves her.
01:17:06He always has, dear.
01:17:07No, it's not...
01:17:08Come on! I know. You know. Grandma knows. Everyone knows!
01:17:14Lily, dear, I forgot the lemon for the tea. Would you go get it?
01:17:21Sure thing, Grandma.
01:17:22But I can't wait until I'm old enough to stick around for these conversations.
01:17:35We're better off as friends.
01:17:36You and Ben need to take your relationship to the next level.
01:17:41I promise it won't be like Michelle.
01:17:45I thought I was in love before.
01:17:47But you can trust Ben.
01:17:49I don't trust myself.
01:17:52It doesn't matter, though. Ben and I...
01:17:55You know, we're not meant to be.
01:17:56That's crazy talk. The two of you...
01:17:58No, we had a chance at a point, but it's over.
01:18:03And Ben, she's got this great life and these goals that she's pursuing and...
01:18:08You know what? I'm actually glad that we're friends.
01:18:11Anything more than that would just complicate things.
01:18:15I would never forgive myself if I hurt her again.
01:18:22What'd I miss?
01:18:52Ben?
01:19:08Ben?
01:19:09Hey.
01:19:10The sun's setting. The party's starting.
01:19:12Don't tell me you're working again.
01:19:14Oh, I was just checking on an update about my present.
01:19:17What is it?
01:19:18It's nothing.
01:19:19I was hoping...
01:19:23You know, we should get going.
01:19:41You did good.
01:19:42You did good.
01:19:43Yeah, pretty good.
01:19:44Oh, hey, Jen.
01:19:46Oh, look, there's Grandpa.
01:19:48Grandma!
01:19:52Hi.
01:19:53Hi.
01:19:54You're so cute.
01:19:56I'm gonna go see Chad.
01:19:58Go for it, Jason.
01:20:03Mom, hey.
01:20:04Sweetheart.
01:20:05I made it.
01:20:07Traffic was a disaster, but I'm finally here.
01:20:09I was starting to worry.
01:20:11I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
01:20:14Now, what are these rumors that I'm hearing about you and Jason?
01:20:19They're just rumors.
01:20:20You know, while Grandma loves to play matchmaker.
01:20:26Is that a champagne fountain?
01:20:28Oh, yes.
01:20:29Yes, definitely.
01:20:30Mom really outdid herself.
01:20:33Oh, hey.
01:20:34Have you seen Jason?
01:20:35No, haven't seen him.
01:20:37Have fun.
01:20:43Hey.
01:20:44Are you okay?
01:20:45Have you seen Liam?
01:20:49That might be Grandma Dot's birthday present.
01:20:53He's a little young.
01:20:54Yeah, he is.
01:20:55Yeah, he is.
01:20:56Yeah, he is.
01:20:57Yeah, he is.
01:20:58Yeah, he is.
01:20:59Yeah, he is.
01:21:00Yeah, he is.
01:21:01He's a little young, but...
01:21:03Hey.
01:21:06Sorry to interrupt your grandmother's party.
01:21:08No, don't be sorry.
01:21:10What's up?
01:21:12I drove out here because I wanted to tell you personally,
01:21:15because I know how hard you've been working.
01:21:18Just tell me already.
01:21:23Congratulations.
01:21:26What?
01:21:28What?
01:21:30This is...
01:21:32Champagne.
01:21:33Yes, yes.
01:21:34Okay, but won't somebody tell me what's going on?
01:21:36What?
01:21:37Jason.
01:21:40Jason.
01:21:43Jason.
01:21:54Honey.
01:21:55What's happened?
01:21:57I'm not really sure.
01:21:58Well, where did Jason go?
01:22:00Did you two have a fight?
01:22:02The relationship was going so well.
01:22:05Grandma, I'm really sorry to have to do this to you,
01:22:07but I need to tell you something.
01:22:09Should I sit down?
01:22:11Yeah.
01:22:12Okay.
01:22:17Jason, why aren't you coming to the party?
01:22:20I'm really trying to do the right thing right now.
01:22:22Honey, it would seem to me the right thing is to come to the party.
01:22:25I love her.
01:22:26I know.
01:22:28But I'm not the one you have to tell.
01:22:30Grandma, there's...
01:22:32You don't understand. There's so much more going on.
01:22:34And I won't be the guy who gets in the way of Penn pursuing her dreams.
01:22:39Jason, I don't completely understand,
01:22:41but I do know that if you don't come back to the party
01:22:43and tell her how you feel, you'll regret it.
01:22:46The two of you have been dating, and it's so clear...
01:22:48Yeah, Grandma, about that...
01:22:52I have a confession to make.
01:22:54Jason and I wanted to make you and Josie happy.
01:22:59And full disclosure, give ourselves a bit of a break.
01:23:03And we've been pretending...
01:23:06To date.
01:23:08Yes, we know.
01:23:10It's all part of the plan, my dear.
01:23:13The plan.
01:23:14Well, Josie and I knew that the two of you would never come together
01:23:17unless you thought it was your idea.
01:23:21And we knew you'd never get around to it.
01:23:23So we just gave a little...
01:23:27Push?
01:23:28Nudge.
01:23:29Wait.
01:23:30The pharmacist, the bakery, the kitchen sink.
01:23:35All of it?
01:23:37Oh, even the broken mast on the boat.
01:23:40All part of bringing you two together.
01:23:44Yes, dear.
01:23:45Grandma, I'm so, so glad that you're on my side.
01:23:49And you have a, dare I say, cunning and devious streak in you, don't you?
01:23:55I'd make a good spy.
01:23:58But I prefer to be a grandma.
01:24:04Hey, there's a party going on, you know.
01:24:07Oh, sorry. Do you need more time?
01:24:11No, it's actually, you should probably hear this next part.
01:24:15So, Jason and I were pretending, but...
01:24:22I actually fell for him.
01:24:29I have feelings for Jason.
01:24:32And as you can clearly see, he does not have those same feelings for me.
01:24:38Oh, that's nonsense.
01:24:40All you need to do is just give him a chance.
01:24:43I have given him a chance.
01:24:45Can you give me another?
01:24:52I thought you were leaving.
01:24:54I was going to.
01:24:57I thought you were just pretending.
01:25:00I don't want to complicate things for you, and I never want to hurt you ever again.
01:25:05And I know that you need your space and you have your dreams, but...
01:25:09it's never been pretend for me, Ben.
01:25:14From when we were little kids to just now.
01:25:17I always thought of this place as home, but it didn't feel like that until you got here.
01:25:23It's always been you, Ben.
01:25:26And it's always been real.
01:25:29And if it's real for you too, then I'm never leaving.
01:25:33Really?
01:25:35Because it is so real.
01:25:37I love you, Ben.
01:25:39I love you too, Jason.
01:25:43Oh, my goodness.
01:26:06I have one more confession.
01:26:09Oh, what else is there?
01:26:12What else could there be?
01:26:15It's about your birthday present.
01:26:17Oh, okay. That I don't know anything about.
01:26:19Good. Good.
01:26:21So, this is Liam.
01:26:24He's my editor.
01:26:26Aww.
01:26:28I wrote a book.
01:26:30It is getting published!
01:26:32Yes! Congratulations!
01:26:34That is wonderful.
01:26:36And, um...
01:26:39Grandma, I dedicated it to you.
01:26:42And it says, to my matchmaking grandma Dot,
01:26:47having you as my grandma has been a match made in heaven.
