00:00:00Of course. I love it.
00:00:03Every moment I spent painting it, I thought of you.
00:00:08I thought you'd never finish it.
00:00:10I mean, I thought you'd thrown it away.
00:00:13Never.
00:00:16It's forever tied to the woman I love.
00:00:22And cut.
00:00:23That's a cut.
00:00:24Beautiful.
00:00:25Thank you, Emma, Albert. Brilliant.
00:00:27All right. Very nicely done, everyone.
00:00:29And that is a picture wrap.
00:00:35Thanks, Albert.
00:00:36Great working with Emma.
00:00:38Emma, my darling, fabulous, as always.
00:00:41Listen, beginning to end, it was truly, it was an honour, it was a pleasure.
00:00:45I feel the same way.
00:00:46I'm excited to see the studio.
00:00:48Listen, we will talk soon.
00:00:49All right.
00:00:50Yes.
00:00:54Your best work yet.
00:00:56Thank you, Zane. You're sweet.
00:00:59But it's nothing I haven't done before.
00:01:02Do you know of anything coming up?
00:01:04The schedule's looking a little too clear for my liking.
00:01:07Emma, you know, a break isn't a bad thing.
00:01:09No, I just want to keep busy, you know.
00:01:11Maybe try something different.
00:01:14Well, word is Clyde Romano is doing a new film.
00:01:17Big budget theatrical.
00:01:18Oh, I love Clyde. Oh, he was great to work with.
00:01:21What is it?
00:01:22Some fantasy action adventure.
00:01:24Seriously?
00:01:26That would be perfect.
00:01:28But Emma, that's not how people see you.
00:01:30Yes, exactly.
00:01:32Come on, you're my agent.
00:01:34See what you can find out.
00:01:36Emma, thanks again.
00:01:38I don't know how you knew we'd be perfect for each other.
00:01:41I could just tell.
00:01:44What was that?
00:01:46That is the prop master and the camera assistant.
00:01:49I set them up.
00:01:51Well, they do look happy.
00:01:53So you'll call Clyde?
00:01:56Please?
00:01:58Anything for you.
00:02:02You are kidding.
00:02:03This is beyond what I expected of him.
00:02:06Despite our differences, I've always tried to respect him.
00:02:09So much for that.
00:02:10What, is everything okay at the studio?
00:02:12I'm fine, but Eleanor's stepbrother fired her from her family company.
00:02:16No.
00:02:17Can he do that?
00:02:18He did it.
00:02:19Your stepdad would never allow that. You are way too valuable there.
00:02:22He doesn't know.
00:02:23He's in semi-retirement anyway.
00:02:25I don't want to be responsible for dragging him into this mess.
00:02:28Did he give any reasons?
00:02:30Budget pets.
00:02:31You're their internal auditor.
00:02:33He's trying to hide something.
00:02:34I'm sure he's...
00:02:36Don't defend him.
00:02:37He must have his reasons.
00:02:38I'm so sorry.
00:02:40Maybe we should stage a coup.
00:02:42Hey, did you all order yet?
00:02:44I don't know, have we?
00:02:46Yeah, the usual.
00:02:47Eleanor got fired by her own brother.
00:02:49Stepbrother.
00:02:51Eleanor, I'm sorry, is there anything I can do?
00:02:54Yeah, represent her in a lawsuit for wrongful, what's the name again?
00:02:57Wrongful termination.
00:02:58Yes, that's the one.
00:03:00Thanks, Gray, but I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:03:03No lawsuit needed.
00:03:05Let's just focus on something better, less stressful.
00:03:08Okay.
00:03:09Hey, how'd the filming go?
00:03:11Good, we're all done.
00:03:13Oh, and my agent told me about a new project.
00:03:16Totally different from what I usually do.
00:03:18No romance?
00:03:19I assume not.
00:03:20I haven't actually read the script yet.
00:03:22But it's fantasy action.
00:03:24Sounds like my kind of movie.
00:03:26Not that I don't love your work.
00:03:28Nice save, okay.
00:03:30Anyways, I'm gonna have to stay busy until that's all arranged.
00:03:33Uh-oh.
00:03:34What?
00:03:35A bored Emma is a dangerous Emma.
00:03:37What?
00:03:38You tend to latch onto projects when you have nothing to do, like setting people up.
00:03:42I don't always.
00:03:45Well, I'm sorry, I can't help myself if I'm good at it.
00:03:48Speaking of which, my agent said something today that makes me think he would love to find a soulmate.
00:03:54Oh boy.
00:03:56Oh, come on.
00:03:57I haven't actually set him up yet.
00:03:59It'll be really good.
00:04:00All I can say is, not it.
00:04:19Oh, seriously.
00:04:24Are you okay?
00:04:25Oh, do you need a hand?
00:04:27Thanks, I think I have it.
00:04:30Thanks.
00:04:31Uh, I'm Hope.
00:04:32Hope Murphy, I just rented this house.
00:04:34I'm Emma.
00:04:35You'll really like the neighborhood.
00:04:37Good.
00:04:40You're Emma Hutton, the actress.
00:04:42Uh, yes.
00:04:43I love your movies.
00:04:45I've seen all of them.
00:04:46In fact, I have most of them in one of these boxes.
00:04:49Oh, that's so nice to hear.
00:04:51Sorry, uh, that sounded funny out loud.
00:04:55So, what brought you here?
00:04:57Uh, I'm starting a new job.
00:04:59Oh, what do you do?
00:05:00I'm a dentist.
00:05:01A local practice hired me on.
00:05:03I'm actually really lucky I found this place.
00:05:05Oh, that's wonderful.
00:05:06So, it's just you then?
00:05:08Yep.
00:05:10Are you sure you don't want help?
00:05:11Uh, I'm fine.
00:05:13You're sweet, though.
00:05:15Alright, well, I'll let you get to it.
00:05:17Okay, well, it was good to meet you.
00:05:19You too.
00:05:22Embarrassing.
00:05:46Oh, come on.
00:06:01Hi, Emma.
00:06:02Hi, Hope.
00:06:04Sorry, it's a bit early.
00:06:06I ran out of milk, and I was in the middle of making something.
00:06:09Could I help you?
00:06:11No, thank you.
00:06:13I ran out of milk, and I was in the middle of making something.
00:06:15Could I?
00:06:16Sure, how much do you need?
00:06:17A cup, if you have it to spare.
00:06:19Of course, hold on.
00:06:26Here you go.
00:06:27Thank you so much.
00:06:28No problem.
00:06:29Hey, why don't you come on over and have a bite when it's ready?
00:06:33I literally couldn't make this without your help.
00:06:36Thanks, I'd like that.
00:06:38Give me twenty minutes or so, and I'll see you soon.
00:06:41Okay.
00:06:42Okay.
00:06:43Bye.
00:06:56Hey, Zane, come in.
00:06:58Smells good.
00:07:00Come try some.
00:07:04So, I got a hold of Clyde Romano.
00:07:06He says he and the studio are already thinking of a few other actresses.
00:07:10Some who are more established in the genre.
00:07:13Established?
00:07:14Someone more in the big studio, epic movie space.
00:07:17But did you tell him I'm interested?
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:20Call him. Call him.
00:07:21Tell him it would be such a creative move to cast against type.
00:07:26Someone fresh who's not always in all of the blockbusters.
00:07:31I can do it. I know I can.
00:07:33Emma, you haven't even read the script.
00:07:35I haven't either for that matter.
00:07:37That's perfect.
00:07:38Use that to call him and ask for it.
00:07:40Tell him that I would love to audition for him.
00:07:43He has to consider me.
00:07:45I just...
00:07:47That's Hope.
00:07:52Hey!
00:07:53Hi, I brought orange juice.
00:07:54Oh, thank you so much.
00:07:56You already bailed me out with the milk. Come in.
00:08:00My agent stopped by.
00:08:02Zane, this is my neighbor, Hope.
00:08:05Nice to meet you.
00:08:06Hi.
00:08:08I should leave you two to your plans.
00:08:10No, stay. I have plenty.
00:08:14I thought I knew all of Emma's friends.
00:08:16Oh, I'm new. I just moved in.
00:08:19Oh, great.
00:08:20Well, you couldn't pick a better friend than Emma.
00:08:23She's been so kind to me already.
00:08:25Well, you must deserve it.
00:08:27I always love to say that Emma can find the good character in anyone she meets.
00:08:33Are you going to try something on?
00:08:35No, I can't afford to buy right now anyway.
00:08:38My treat.
00:08:39Thank you, but no.
00:08:41What I could use is your help.
00:08:43Would you look over my resume?
00:08:44Oh, I'm not really sure I'm the best one to do that.
00:08:47I mean, my resume includes a list of movies and characters, not skills, you know.
00:08:53Like, proficient in managing a team of seven accountants,
00:08:58or, you know, providing a critical component in transactional data.
00:09:03Then look for typos.
00:09:05That I can do.
00:09:06Yes.
00:09:10What no one is going to look past is that I was fired.
00:09:13By my own family.
00:09:14By a bully in the family.
00:09:16Well, I can't quite explain that away without sounding bitter or unreasonable.
00:09:20Well, maybe you could just say that you decided to leave and you wanted to try something new.
00:09:25Well, what do I do for a reference if they call my stepbrother?
00:09:27Put your stepfather down instead.
00:09:29But then he'll find out the minute someone calls him.
00:09:32Why haven't you told him yet?
00:09:34Because he'll get upset, and my mom will get upset, and I just want to move on.
00:09:40He's going to find out at some point.
00:09:42Yes, but that can happen when I'm over it and better off.
00:09:46So?
00:09:47Okay, okay.
00:09:48Well, it'd be helpful if we have some other companies you've worked with more recently.
00:09:52It'd be helpful if we have some other companies you've worked with more recently for reference.
00:09:56I've worked for my stepfather's company for years.
00:10:00Okay, so I need something else to put here.
00:10:04Something to take the negative attention away.
00:10:17That looks too intense to be one of my contracts.
00:10:20No, your acting contracts are thankfully much simpler.
00:10:23This is four versions of an endorsement deal that somewhere along the way got mixed and mingled and now it's nowhere near where it needs to be.
00:10:32What's up?
00:10:33Eleanor.
00:10:34I thought you'd be better suited to looking at a resume.
00:10:37Sure.
00:10:39She's so worried about her experience, but I think she just needs something soon to calm her down.
00:10:44You know, boost her confidence.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:47It's unfortunate I can't hire her for some movie.
00:10:52Wish I could.
00:10:57Okay, you want me to see if there's a job here for her.
00:11:00You see right through me.
00:11:02I don't even know if there's a job opening here.
00:11:04What about something temporary?
00:11:06Maybe.
00:11:07You know how organized she is. Even if she hasn't done it, she can do it.
00:11:11Okay, I'll see what I can find. Can I hold onto this?
00:11:14Mm-hmm.
00:11:16You're welcome.
00:11:18Bye.
00:11:19See ya.
00:11:38Hey Emma.
00:11:40Hey.
00:11:41Did you start work today?
00:11:43No, tomorrow.
00:11:44Ah, good. More time to settle in.
00:11:47I was glad you could meet Zane.
00:11:49Me too. He was really nice.
00:11:51Really nice?
00:11:53Yeah.
00:11:55I think you two got along well.
00:11:57You do?
00:11:58Did he say something?
00:12:00He didn't have to.
00:12:03Okay, tell me about him.
00:12:06Oh, a party.
00:12:08It's ridiculous.
00:12:10What's the occasion?
00:12:11Bell, the firm's managing partner, is celebrating on hiring his lackluster son who just barely passed the bar.
00:12:17And they're going to make him junior partner, right out of law school.
00:12:20And can you guess which office he got?
00:12:22Hmm, the best one in the building.
00:12:24The second best.
00:12:26Bell Sr. has the first.
00:12:28Nepotism at its finest.
00:12:30Well, at least it's a nice party. It's formal, catered...
00:12:33Expensive.
00:12:35This is purely for the Bell family ego.
00:12:37I'm sorry.
00:12:40It does have an upside.
00:12:41What?
00:12:42Well, as I was venting about all this to June in billing, and she was venting back to me about how much waste there is at the firm.
00:12:49Frivolous spending, unaccounted expenses, billing errors through partner idiocies.
00:12:53We're looking to hire someone.
00:12:55Come in, trim back, and reconcile, and I recommended...
00:12:59Eleanor.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:01She'll be getting an email soon.
00:13:02You're the best.
00:13:03It's only temporary.
00:13:04No. No, thank you. It's perfect. Really.
00:13:08I need a favor, though.
00:13:09Sure.
00:13:10I don't want to be pestered, and I need a date.
00:13:13So will you go with me?
00:13:14Of course.
00:13:18Oh, it's Zane.
00:13:20Zane.
00:13:21Of course.
00:13:24Oh, it's Zane.
00:13:26He has a script, and he wants me to stop by the office to pick it up.
00:13:29For that big studio movie you wanted?
00:13:31Yes.
00:13:32I think I'll just swing by my place and see if Hope wants to go with me.
00:13:36Who's Hope?
00:13:37Hope is my new neighbor, who I think Zane is already eyeing.
00:13:41Oh, no.
00:13:42Oh, yes.
00:13:44Zane's office is just around the corner. Why do you need to go all the way back to your house?
00:13:47So that Zane can see Hope again.
00:13:49A little extra travel time is worth it to me if it means true love for somebody else.
00:13:53Of course.
00:13:58I'll push them to move back your filming dates, but I can't promise anything.
00:14:02Okay.
00:14:04Take care. Bye.
00:14:06Hi.
00:14:07You just couldn't wait to see me, could you?
00:14:10Hope and I were in the neighborhood.
00:14:12Oh, fantastic.
00:14:13Oh.
00:14:17I'll read this when I get back.
00:14:18When's the audition?
00:14:19I'm working on that.
00:14:20My schedule's free.
00:14:22I'm whittling down Clyde and the casting director. Promise.
00:14:25Alright. Thank you.
00:14:28Well, I'm gonna go grab a drink of water, but Hope was wondering more about you and what you do.
00:14:34Well, fire away.
00:14:37How long have you been Emma's agent?
00:14:40Three years.
00:14:42Oh. Good.
00:14:44Oh. Good.
00:14:58That's so funny.
00:14:59I know. It's crazy.
00:15:00So then they called me, asked if I knew somebody.
00:15:03She got the job and I got her.
00:15:05Yeah, she kind of looks like her.
00:15:07She was brilliant. Totally unafraid.
00:15:10Even if she was dressed in a gorilla suit.
00:15:13Emma, remember when you had to wear that gorilla costume?
00:15:15Oh, um.
00:15:16What movie was that for?
00:15:19I think it was the Flower Shop one.
00:15:21That's it. Very random, but you nailed it.
00:15:27Oh, excuse me.
00:15:28We'll let you get to it.
00:15:30Thanks for stopping by.
00:15:31It was nice to see you again.
00:15:35Zane Elton.
00:15:37He's funny, isn't he?
00:15:39I nearly panicked when you left me on my own.
00:15:42But then he started telling stories about you and it got better.
00:15:45See?
00:15:47Yeah. He made me feel at ease.
00:15:49Okay. Good.
00:15:50I mean, he does well with people.
00:15:52It's sort of his job.
00:15:53So, you know, maybe you should see him more.
00:15:59Like, go out with him.
00:16:02No. I couldn't.
00:16:04Oh, why not?
00:16:05What, do you have a boyfriend?
00:16:06Well, no.
00:16:07But I hardly know him.
00:16:09That's why you go out with him.
00:16:12I could barely think of enough to say when you were out of the room for a few minutes.
00:16:15It'd get awkward and I don't do well when things are awkward.
00:16:19Oh, wow, wow, wow. Well, you have nothing to worry about.
00:16:22Look, you would be fine. I can tell.
00:16:25I can't ask him out.
00:16:27Then I'll set you two up.
00:16:30It'd still be awkward.
00:16:32I think you would make Zane really happy.
00:16:35And Zane would make you really happy, too.
00:16:39So, what's it gonna take?
00:16:42Make it a double date.
00:16:44Takes the pressure off.
00:16:47Okay. Done.
00:16:50Come on.
00:16:55All right, guys. Nice job.
00:16:57We're gonna do this one more time.
00:16:58I want you to think of really getting that passe really high into your center.
00:17:02Get really high on your standing leg.
00:17:03All right, here we go.
00:17:04Starting with the prep. One.
00:17:05Out to the side. One.
00:17:06Have you considered maybe Hope doesn't want a relationship right now?
00:17:09It's just a date.
00:17:10Well, she just moved to a new place with a new job.
00:17:13It's a lot of change.
00:17:15Is this your way of telling me I shouldn't set her up?
00:17:17Be careful. That's all.
00:17:19It'll be fine. You should see how good they look together.
00:17:22Have you figured out who you're gonna ask for your date?
00:17:25Not yet. No.
00:17:26I really don't want to go.
00:17:27But I understand Hope's anxious, so I'll be there.
00:17:31Two turns. Last time.
00:17:33Good. And hold it. Very nice.
00:17:35Okay. Thank you guys so much.
00:17:37Work on that, and I will see you next time.
00:17:39Good job.
00:17:41Good job, Sarah.
00:17:42What'd I miss?
00:17:43Emma is looking for a guy for a double date she's going on.
00:17:46Oh. What about Baker Caulfield?
00:17:49Oh, no. No.
00:17:50You set him up with me.
00:17:52I did?
00:17:53That is true friendship right there.
00:17:54You threw someone at me who wasn't even good enough for yourself.
00:17:57Well, it would be a lot easier if you two had available brothers.
00:18:01Yeah. I have four sisters of varying degrees of respectability.
00:18:05Trust me. My dad wishes he had a son.
00:18:07And I value our friendship way too much to recommend my stepbrother, even if he wasn't married.
00:18:16What?
00:18:17It's an email from that lady I interviewed with at Gray's Firm.
00:18:20They want me to consult.
00:18:22I'm to evaluate and recommend cost-saving measures for the firm.
00:18:26Okay. That's perfect.
00:18:28Congrats, Eleanor.
00:18:31Okay. Can we eat? I'm starving.
00:18:33Yes.
00:18:52Zane, this script is...
00:18:56I want the part.
00:18:57No, I have to have it.
00:18:59Have you read it?
00:19:00I mean, it's everything I've wanted to do all in one character.
00:19:07Oh, I'm so sorry. I let the time get away from me.
00:19:10We can chat tomorrow.
00:19:12Okay, but before you go, keep Friday night open.
00:19:14We're going out. A double date.
00:19:17You, me, and Hope.
00:19:20She's new in town and could use fantastic company and a night out.
00:19:24Okay. Great. Good night.
00:19:31This character doesn't back down, but she's full of insecurities, and it's delightful.
00:19:37And then she's this epic hero, even though she's flawed, and it's just so complex.
00:19:44I love it.
00:19:45I feel like I've waited my whole career for this.
00:19:48All eight years of it.
00:19:49That's just the years I was getting paid.
00:19:51I've acted long before that.
00:19:53But I think it's what I wanted without even realizing it till now.
00:19:57Well, may Zane work his toe off to get you that audition.
00:20:00Did you ever think I'd be a serious actress?
00:20:03Like ever?
00:20:04Like when we were younger.
00:20:06Well, you are one now.
00:20:07Oh, I think my father indulged acting, but I don't think he saw it as a career.
00:20:11Remember that one play you were in before I went to law school? Romeo and Juliet.
00:20:15And you know how I feel about romance.
00:20:17It's a tragic romance. Isn't that better?
00:20:20No.
00:20:21But I went because I knew I would never hear the end of it from your father or my parents if I didn't go.
00:20:26You remember when the castle set fell down?
00:20:28Oh, yes.
00:20:29Everyone was running around screaming, going crazy, but you didn't.
00:20:34You stayed in character.
00:20:35And you even helped put the set back together.
00:20:39That's when I knew.
00:20:44Is Eleanor here yet?
00:20:46She just checked in with HR this morning.
00:20:48We should invite her in. There's plenty of food.
00:20:50Are you kidding?
00:20:51She has very strict thoughts on breaks and talking during work.
00:20:55Really?
00:20:56110% at work is her motto.
00:21:01Well, I should set a better example then.
00:21:04Thanks for lunch.
00:21:05Of course.
00:21:07I do have a favor.
00:21:09Another one?
00:21:10Stop it. It's not that bad.
00:21:12What is it?
00:21:13Since I'm your plus one to the company party.
00:21:16Overindulgent party.
00:21:18Will you come with me on this date that I set up for Zane and Hope?
00:21:22Is it worse to be on a first date or witness someone's first date?
00:21:25Stop! They already know each other.
00:21:27A little.
00:21:28Will you come with me?
00:21:31Fine.
00:21:38Hope, Emma's told me a lot about you.
00:21:40Oh, thank you.
00:21:43Sorry I'm late. Traffic.
00:21:45Zane, you know Gray, my attorney, right?
00:21:47Of course. Good to see you again.
00:21:49Hi, Zane.
00:21:50Hope.
00:21:51Should we have a seat?
00:21:52Yeah.
00:21:55Thanks.
00:21:57I think I'm going to run to the restroom. Can you order the fish for me?
00:22:01Sure.
00:22:02I'll come with you.
00:22:03Do you know what you want to order?
00:22:05The fish for me also.
00:22:06Thanks.
00:22:08Is everything alright?
00:22:10So are you and Emma dating?
00:22:13Uh, no. It's just a favor. That's all.
00:22:17Oh.
00:22:19That makes sense.
00:22:21I thought you were just her lawyer, so. Good.
00:22:24Well, we've been friends, right?
00:22:27Yeah.
00:22:29I'm sorry.
00:22:31It's nothing.
00:22:32I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to stay for dinner.
00:22:34lawyer so good. Well we've been friends since before I went to law school. Oh she
00:22:39never mentioned that. Hope seems nice. Yeah if you like that type.
00:22:50Hey. Hi. Hey thanks so much for your help. This job is just what I needed. Good.
00:23:04What's up? I am 95% certain that the guy that Emma set up with her
00:23:12friend is actually in love with Emma. Zane her agent? Mm-hmm. Do I warn her?
00:23:20Poor Hope. I don't know. I mean Emma. What if you're wrong? I picked up on it.
00:23:26Doesn't that say something? I see your point. How is Emma missing it then?
00:23:31Seriously? Emma's in her own little world when it comes to romance. She sees life
00:23:35in a completely different reality. Warn her then but tell her you're not sure
00:23:41just in case you know. Yeah. I'm not wrong. Thanks.
00:23:49Oh are these the prescription authorizations? Yes. You're a miracle worker. Okay yes I will see you
00:23:56tomorrow. All right. Okay thank you Zane. What happened? Zane got me the audition.
00:24:02That's so great. Thank you. Oh but I forgot to ask Zane what he thought of
00:24:07the date. Oh no. Don't do that. What did you think of it? I think it went well.
00:24:12I just always feel so awkward. I'm glad you were there. Well the next time it
00:24:17should just be the two of you. If there's a next time. I saw the way he was
00:24:21smiling at you and you guys talk like you had a lot in common. There will be a
00:24:25next time and my offer to call him back still stands. No that's too much. What
00:24:30about this? I'm gonna talk to Zane about the audition anyways and I will just
00:24:35carefully see how he feels about you and just slyly let him know that you'd
00:24:40like to go out again. Perfect. Where do you want to go eat?
00:24:47If we fail now we never recover. We never return to any happiness or peace which
00:24:53so many of us or which so many of us have fought for since we were children.
00:24:59Hey. Memorizing lines? He's trying. When's the audition? 10 a.m. You'll do great.
00:25:07You always say that. Doesn't mean I don't believe it. Line check? No emotion? Got it.
00:25:14Go. If we fail now we never recover. We never return to any happiness or peace
00:25:21which so many of us have fought for since we were children. We'll retreat.
00:25:27We must. Not for our own lives but for those of every village or all of the
00:25:33villages. We will we must survive for them. How am I doing? 80%. How was your day?
00:25:43It's fine. You know I never thanked you for coming with me the other night. No
00:25:48thanks needed. But about that. What? Didn't Zane seem a little...
00:26:00You know what? You're busy. I'm listening. I need a break anyways. You were saying?
00:26:10Okay. At dinner the other night I kept noticing or I got the feeling
00:26:18repeatedly that well Zane is... What about him? He's into you. What? No that's
00:26:26ridiculous. Not really. He's my agent. Well he wants to be more than that. He was
00:26:31there on a date with Hope. Yeah but he was addressing you every time he spoke.
00:26:36You are reading way too much into this Gray. No. No I'm not. You love to play
00:26:43Cupid but that doesn't mean you're right all the time. Hope likes Zane. And that's
00:26:48great. I'm telling you the feelings aren't mutual. Well I don't believe it.
00:26:54Then you're in denial. Come on. Come on. I would have noticed if what you're
00:26:58saying is true. You don't notice anything if it means you're wrong. Well I
00:27:03appreciate your concern but I'm not wrong.
00:27:07Fine.
00:27:11From the beginning? So how are we doing on schedule? Just a little behind. Okay no
00:27:20problem. Thanks. Zane. Hi. Clyde's running behind but the casting director said
00:27:27it'll be just a few more minutes. Okay. I didn't expect to see you here. Well I
00:27:32know how important this is to you. How you feeling? Ready. Good. And thanks again
00:27:37for giving me this chance. You're my star and you deserve it.
00:27:42Clyde's just about ready. Thank you.
00:27:47I'm so nervous. No. You got this. And you look beautiful. Thank you. Come here. You'll be fine.
00:27:57Zane. I love you. You do? Didn't you know? But Hope. What about her? The date. I thought
00:28:10you'd asked me out to be your date until I realized you were there with Grey and
00:28:14I was supposed to be there with Hope so I went with it. But we've never... I know and
00:28:19that's why I want to be clear now. No more sideways glances. No more setting
00:28:24each other up when really we want to be together. I love you.
00:28:30Emma. Okay we're ready for you now. I have to do this. I'm sorry. I never really saw
00:28:39you that way. But you could. Emma. Yes yes I'm coming. Good to see you again. You too.
00:28:51Thanks for letting me audition. Whenever you're ready Shelly will read opposite
00:28:56you. If if we fail now we never recover.
00:29:11We never return to any happiness or peace which so many of us have fought
00:29:17for since we were children. What can we do? You are to lead us aren't you? Tell us.
00:29:23We retreat. Retreat? We must. Not for ourselves. Not for our own lives but for
00:29:32the lives of every village near and far. We must survive for them. I was so wrong.
00:29:43Okay I'm really trying hard not to tell you that I told you. Good. Keep trying.
00:29:51I really had no idea you liked me. I know. I hope. There's really no way around her
00:30:01getting hurt is there? Attack on that audition. Disaster. I'm sure it wasn't
00:30:09that bad. The only thing the casting director said to me after I finished was
00:30:12thanks for stopping by. Not even a let's try it this way from Clyde or a good to
00:30:17see you again. I should have listened to you. Come here.
00:30:26It's not as if you wanted this to happen. You're only trying to help hope. And
00:30:31failing. Failing every once in a while is a good thing. Helps us grow. Did you just
00:30:38make that up? No. Still the worst is yet to come. What's that? Telling hope.
00:30:54Hey Hope. Hi I came as soon as they got off work. What's up? I was wrong about
00:31:03Zane. I would have never recommended him if I had known. And the last thing I want
00:31:09is for you to get hurt. I know. Can I ask you something? Of course. Now that you
00:31:17know he's interested in you, do you want to date him? No. But are you... how are you
00:31:24feeling? I mean feel free to yell and throw things and... I'm fine. I barely knew
00:31:30him. But it's completely understandable being angry though. I'm not. I mean sure
00:31:36it stings a little being rejected. But honestly I had more fun on the date just
00:31:41joking around and talking with you, Grey, and Zane. It's not like my heart was
00:31:45firmly set on him. We tried and it didn't work out. It's not a big deal. But what
00:31:56isn't these cookies? Because they are really good. She's a saint. I mean I was
00:32:03furious at you for setting me up with neon jacket guy. You guys would really
00:32:09like her. We should all go out sometime. I imagine she's trying to feel
00:32:12comfortable and just not so alone. I'm glad you're considering a supportive
00:32:18group of friends now instead of a date. I'm not giving up on her. Goodness Emma
00:32:23give the girl a break. Besides weren't you originally trying to set up Zane?
00:32:26Yes but he's not answering my calls anymore so that's an out. This one?
00:32:32Not for an office party. Maybe you should just give hope some time to be
00:32:36herself. Yeah stop pressuring her to find romance. I'm not pressuring her. You're
00:32:41worse than my mother. I take offense to that. Well you'll get over it. I think
00:32:47what Liz means is there's nothing wrong with letting romance develop on its own
00:32:51without any well-meaning nudges. Not that one. I just don't want Hope to think that
00:32:57I'm giving up on her. You're not. And I sort of enjoy setting people up. Well
00:33:03then maybe just stick to finding someone for yourself. That would be like me being
00:33:06a surgeon trying to operate on myself. I like that one. Look if you must set
00:33:14someone up with my sister Lydia. She would swoon over anyone you set her up
00:33:18with especially if they were famous.
00:33:31You could smile. I might shock someone. Which could be amusing. No. No I might
00:33:38lure someone over. You dread it so much. Why did you come? Obligation. Bail notices.
00:33:44Plus he's got his secretary over there taking roll. Well at least he doesn't
00:33:48ignore you. Who's ignoring you? A director? No. Zane. Oh you called him. Yes he never
00:33:57picks up. I really want to know about that audition but that just feels
00:34:01awkward too. You can't avoid him forever. Okay at some point you're gonna have to
00:34:06work with him again. I know I just I wish I'd noticed how he felt. Yeah what if I
00:34:12did something to encourage him without realizing it? Well you can be a bit of a
00:34:17flirt. Have you been by his office? No. You should. Let's move things over. It'll be
00:34:24good for him and you. Now it's time to go try some overpriced
00:34:30hors d'oeuvres. Do you want some? Sure. Be right back.
00:34:42Oh great. Great. It's great. Good to see you. Thanks for coming out. What's amusing you? Oh he
00:34:55got snagged by my father. Poor guy. That's your father? You must not work for the
00:35:00firm. Barry Bell. The newly hired partner. Emma Hutton. Pleasure to meet you. I
00:35:09noticed you didn't throw out the undeserving son tribute to nepotism. I
00:35:15hear the office rumor mill. Is being newest partner... Junior partner. Is it
00:35:23everything you imagined? It's okay. It's work. What about you? You don't work here
00:35:31but are you a lawyer? No. No I've only played one before in a movie. An actress
00:35:38Fascinating. What films have you done? Mostly romantic love stories. How fun. I
00:35:45don't know if I recognized you or not but when I saw you I had to come meet
00:35:50you. So what are you working on right now? Um I just finished a project but there's
00:35:58one in particular that I'm I'm hoping to hear back from soon. You know I've always
00:36:03wanted to act. You hear that all the time. I do. Sorry. It's true though. So is it
00:36:14everything I imagined it would be? At times. Yeah. And others? It's still work.
00:36:22Good times, bad times. Stressful. But I love it. Well tell me about the bath. If I
00:36:30consider a career change I want to know what I'm getting into. Okay. Long hours
00:36:35working with new people all of the time. Some good. Some a little odd. And speaking
00:36:42of odd. Fans. There's always a handful who can be a little out there. Well you can't
00:36:52blame them for being wild about you.
00:36:55You know, right? I would love to take you out sometime.
00:37:16You told me to stick to finding somebody for myself. Who knew he'd come to me.
00:37:22But Barry Bell? Is that really his name? Yes and he's nice. Oh I thought Gray didn't think
00:37:28much of him. I get why. I mean Barry has a family connection and Gray has worked really
00:37:34hard to get where he is. But that doesn't mean Barry's a bad guy. Okay so you're
00:37:41serious about him? I think it'd be worth getting to know him better. Okay so are you
00:37:45gonna call him? I can't. I don't have his number. But he asked for mine. Oh so you have
00:37:51to wait. You're a favorite thing. It's worse than having to wait to hear about an audition.
00:37:56Almost. Speaking of, did you hear back on that role you wanted? Not yet.
00:38:08I haven't heard about the audition.
00:38:13How are you? Fine.
00:38:21Are you redecorating?
00:38:26Yeah. The agency had a meeting and is shuffling assignments. I've been assigned other people
00:38:33to represent and a new agent, Kathy, will now represent you. Oh. She's good and I'll
00:38:40have her pass along any updates from Clyde Romano. Thanks. I didn't know. If I had, I
00:38:51would never mislead you. I'm sorry but I need to really focus on this deal that I'm making
00:38:58for another actor. Okay. Bye, Zane. Goodbye, Emma. I'll look into that. Great, thank you.
00:39:16Emma! I hope I didn't keep you waiting. Well, I was hoping you'd let me take you out.
00:39:26How's tonight been? Perfect.
00:39:35I need your help. Mine? What for? I have a date tonight. What do you think? Well, who's your date?
00:39:44This lawyer that I met at Gray's firm. It's just what I need right now. A distraction? Romance.
00:39:54Uh, I like the color of that one. Good. Any other ones? Let's see. Am I being insensitive about this?
00:40:05What do you mean? I mean, with how Zane turned out and... I'm going on a date. Faith, I'm fine.
00:40:13Don't hold back. Alright. Maybe I should go more casual. Let me grab some other options.
00:40:21So you said your date is friends with Gray? Um, not really. They both work at the same firm,
00:40:27but I don't think Gray knows him that well. Well, how do you and Gray know each other?
00:40:33We grew up in the same neighborhood. Oh. Our parents are good friends, so...
00:40:37He's actually a little bit older than me, so we didn't end up going to school at the same time,
00:40:41but it became inevitable with our families that we'd interact. He's a good friend. A trusted friend.
00:40:51I guess that's why he's my attorney. What does he do? Oh, you know, he goes over my acting contracts and stuff like that.
00:40:58Just makes sure I don't sign anything that I shouldn't. He was really nice, I thought. Yeah, he is.
00:41:05Um, do you have a blouse to go with this? I like it better than the dress. Um, yes.
00:41:15Hello? Hi! It's so good to hear from you. They did? Oh, that's amazing! Great! Okay, thank you so much.
00:41:25Yes, I will be ready. Okay. Okay. Bye. What was that?
00:41:32That's my new agent. They want me for a screen test. What's a screen test?
00:41:37It's like another audition, just a little more in-depth, but this time they film me to see how I look on camera.
00:41:43Which is fantastic, because I totally thought I'd ruin my chances before. I'm so happy for you. Thank you.
00:41:49Now, to your outfit.
00:41:53And I had to cut my hair just to get free. No! Yes, it was a mess. I was sure that I'd ruin the whole movie right then.
00:42:00Did you get in trouble? No, thankfully, but I think the director knew it wasn't my fault, so one week later and I made it through.
00:42:08I always heard acting was dramatic, but that... Not what you'd expect.
00:42:13If it makes you feel better, I watched that very movie last night and couldn't tell. Good.
00:42:18You really are quite talented.
00:42:23I'd love to see you work sometime.
00:42:26I'd like that. Hopefully the screen test leads to something.
00:42:30When is it? Tomorrow.
00:42:32So soon? Yeah.
00:42:34That's a lot of pressure. Well, you get used to it.
00:42:39Well, do you need help or moral support? Anything I can do?
00:42:42No, thank you. You're fine. It's just the usual nerves.
00:42:45Well, let me come with you then.
00:42:47Well, they don't let you watch it.
00:42:49I'll wait in the lobby or whatever. I want to be there.
00:42:53Okay. Thank you.
00:42:57So, how did you get into acting?
00:43:00I'm sorry, I'm bombarding you with questions, aren't I?
00:43:02Maybe you're just channeling your inner lawyer. Is this a cross-examination?
00:43:07I haven't been in the courtroom yet, but...
00:43:09Well, I just feel like I'm talking all about my work.
00:43:13Tell me more about you.
00:43:14No, no. I love hearing about what you do.
00:43:18I promise.
00:43:21Now tell me how you trained to become such a great actress.
00:43:38Hi, good to see you again.
00:43:40Have a seat and we'll call you back in a minute.
00:43:46Are they the competition?
00:43:49Maybe. They could be here for another role.
00:43:55Are you nervous?
00:43:56Yes. Isn't that crazy? How do you do this?
00:44:00It's just like a job interview.
00:44:03Worked for my father. Interview got skipped.
00:44:07So what happens when it's your turn?
00:44:09So, they take me into a studio and someone else reads lines of the other characters and then I do my part.
00:44:17That's it?
00:44:18Well, hopefully there's a chance to talk. You know, make a personal impression.
00:44:23Emma.
00:44:24Break a leg.
00:44:29Emma. Good to see you again.
00:44:31Thank you for giving me a second chance.
00:44:33Well, it took some convincing of the higher-ups.
00:44:35Higher-ups?
00:44:36Studio bigwigs. Here they come now.
00:44:39Hi.
00:44:40Oh.
00:44:41Don't worry about it. Listen, I saw something in your audition that I didn't expect.
00:44:47It was the way you were so conflicted. It was eye-opening.
00:44:52I'm glad you liked it.
00:44:53Yes, so maybe this character can be fresh.
00:44:57Not the confident, we-know-she'll-win hero, but someone who's vulnerable, who grows into her heroism.
00:45:04I love that idea.
00:45:06Great. To that end, I still need to show the studio options.
00:45:09So, why don't we try a few versions here today?
00:45:13Some to cover what I want, and then the confident, normal stuff that they might want.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:20Great.
00:45:22You ready?
00:45:28Your order, $2.20.
00:45:30You're welcome.
00:45:31Hi.
00:45:34Okay. $3.15, done.
00:45:37Alright, perfect. Your order, $2.21.
00:45:41Hey, give me a chicken wrap with a side of hummus.
00:45:43Okay. $12.44.
00:45:47Okay, perfect. Your order, $2.22.
00:45:49Alright, thanks.
00:45:50You're welcome.
00:45:56Hey.
00:45:57How are you doing?
00:45:59Fine.
00:46:02Is work going alright for you?
00:46:06Yep.
00:46:08Order $2.19.
00:46:12So, any fun plans this weekend?
00:46:15Look, maybe Emma didn't say anything, but the date was a mistake.
00:46:20I just wanted to say hi. Being polite.
00:46:24Can you just leave me alone?
00:46:26I-
00:46:27I wasn't interested in you before, and I certainly don't want to be bored by you now.
00:46:29True.
00:46:30Alright.
00:46:35$2.20.
00:46:38Order $2.20.
00:46:42I'll get that for her.
00:46:53Hope.
00:46:55Hope.
00:46:56Hey.
00:46:57Hey.
00:46:58Hey, you alright?
00:47:00Great. Yeah, I'm fine.
00:47:06You saw?
00:47:09You know, I've never put my finger on why I didn't like that guy.
00:47:14Until today.
00:47:17I think I lost my appetite.
00:47:20Oh, come on.
00:47:22Don't let that get to you.
00:47:24Well, want some?
00:47:28This isn't just the fangirl in me, but sometimes I wish I were more like Emma.
00:47:34How so?
00:47:36You know, everyone loves her.
00:47:38Zane, it's not everyone.
00:47:41But it must be nice to be sought after.
00:47:44Maybe it's overrated.
00:47:47Look, Emma is wonderful.
00:47:51But it's really easy to just see the actress and not the person.
00:47:55I mean, she's not perfect.
00:47:58I mean, she's my best friend.
00:48:01But I just don't think she realizes the impact that she has on others.
00:48:06She is very human.
00:48:09It's hard to see her that way.
00:48:11Well, trust me, I see it.
00:48:14And I don't agree with her matchmaking picks, but she does choose some great friends.
00:48:26Hey, a bunch of us are getting together tonight.
00:48:29Oh, Emma told me about it. I don't know if I...
00:48:32Forget Zane. Come and have some fun.
00:48:36Okay. Thanks.
00:48:43So, how'd the camera test go?
00:48:45Good. It went really well.
00:48:47That's awesome. And you were so worried you'd have a horrible audition.
00:48:50Well, I did, but guess what?
00:48:52The reason they gave me the second audition was because they loved how conflicted I did it before.
00:48:59I mean, who would have thought that Zane throwing me off my game would have led to this?
00:49:05So what's next?
00:49:07I guess it's just back to waiting by the phone.
00:49:09But at least this time I feel like I really did my best.
00:49:13I hope you get it.
00:49:15Thank you. So, how's everyone decorating these?
00:49:18I'm going to do my dance thing somehow.
00:49:19I think I'm going to leave my profession out of this.
00:49:22And I just want you all to know that I'm here, even though I voted for bowling.
00:49:26Press rose stamp, please.
00:49:28Thanks.
00:49:30So, Hope, how's your new job?
00:49:32It's good. I mean, the other dentists and staff are really nice.
00:49:35There's a lot of patients each day, but I like to keep busy, so...
00:49:38Sounds like a good fit.
00:49:40Where'd you move from?
00:49:42Washington.
00:49:44Oh, that's a decent move. Do you have any family around here?
00:49:46Nope. Just me.
00:49:47Oh, I've been meaning to tell you the actor that I worked with on my last movie.
00:49:52He's very handsome. He's really nice.
00:49:55And he was even in dental school before he became an actor.
00:50:00So, would you like me to introduce you two?
00:50:03I think I'm fine.
00:50:05I mean, I can keep looking.
00:50:07No, no. I think you should focus on your acting and getting that part.
00:50:12Are you sure?
00:50:14Yeah. If I change my mind, I will let you know.
00:50:17Okay.
00:50:21Who is it?
00:50:23Barry. He's inviting me to a party.
00:50:26Are you gonna go?
00:50:28Of course.
00:50:30I didn't realize you planned on going out with him again.
00:50:32Why wouldn't I? I mean, he's attentive. He's nice.
00:50:36I don't know. He has these dreams, and I just find that really refreshing.
00:50:40Shouldn't he be beyond that by now?
00:50:42Dreams?
00:50:43Yeah, you know, like settling down and figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up.
00:50:48I mean, he's kind of late to the party to be a lawyer.
00:50:50I'll say.
00:50:52Is he? Because I kind of admire the fact that he's worked really hard to get his law degree.
00:51:04Thanks for getting me to come tonight.
00:51:07It is kind of fun, isn't it? Don't tell him I said that.
00:51:10Can we eat these when we're done?
00:51:11Why not?
00:51:13So, have you heard anything about that new space movie that's out?
00:51:17Um, no.
00:51:19I kind of like sci-fi type things.
00:51:23You do?
00:51:25Me too.
00:51:27Well, I was hoping to go this weekend. Would you want to go with me?
00:51:31When were you thinking?
00:51:33Isn't he so funny?
00:51:35Uh, Friday?
00:51:37Yeah.
00:51:39Yeah, that works.
00:51:41Alright.
00:51:44Thanks, that'll be great.
00:51:46Hey.
00:51:48Hey.
00:51:50Did you know the firm spends $650,000 on private jet rentals every quarter?
00:51:55Right. What's wrong with flying commercial?
00:51:57Nothing. But why soup to that if you don't mind wasting money?
00:52:01Is that at the top of your cost-cutting list?
00:52:03Sadly, no.
00:52:05But I have a feeling the people whose names are on the building might be a little protective of their private jet trips anyway.
00:52:11Hopefully.
00:52:14So what do you think about Barry and Emma?
00:52:17What about them?
00:52:19I thought you'd be opposed to he and her going out again.
00:52:22If she didn't ask for my opinion.
00:52:24And if she did?
00:52:26If he's what makes her happy, then I'm fine.
00:52:29Really?
00:52:31What do you think about them?
00:52:33Well, I haven't gotten any of his expenses yet, but something tells me they'll all end up on my recommendation list for trimming back.
00:52:39Doesn't make him a bad person, though.
00:52:42No. But that's up to Emma.
00:52:52Oh!
00:52:54Sorry.
00:52:56Um, what are you doing here?
00:52:58Oh, just going to see a movie with Hope. Just thought I'd stop in and say hi.
00:53:01Oh.
00:53:03You look nice. You going somewhere?
00:53:06Uh, yeah. Uh, Barry.
00:53:09What, is he picking you up?
00:53:11Um, no. Actually, I'm meeting him at this party.
00:53:16Well, you have fun.
00:53:19Thank you. You too.
00:53:35I chose seats just in the middle, right up here.
00:53:37Works for me.
00:53:45Hey. Thanks for suggesting this.
00:53:49Thanks for coming.
00:54:04You're here!
00:54:06You're here! Great!
00:54:09Come in. Welcome.
00:54:11Okay.
00:54:15Everyone, this is Emma Hutton. The Emma Hutton. An outstanding actress.
00:54:23Hi.
00:54:25I am way overdressed.
00:54:27What? No, no, no, no. You look fabulous. Come on. Let's get started.
00:54:32Started? Oh.
00:54:33Everyone, as you all know, I have always wanted to act.
00:54:40And Jocelyn here has a killer script.
00:54:44I think you're going to love it as we read through it tonight.
00:54:47So, grab a drink and some food, and we'll get going.
00:54:52What is going on?
00:54:54What do you mean?
00:54:56It's just, you said this was going to be a party.
00:54:59It is.
00:55:00It's a script reading. I would know because I've sat through them.
00:55:04Trust me. We're going to have a great time.
00:55:31Camera pulls back. The rain falls around our hero. Undeterred, he boldly stands in the elements.
00:55:38The people cheer for him. Fade to black.
00:55:44Wasn't that wonderful? Jocelyn, you're so talented.
00:55:50So Emma, what do you think?
00:55:53Uh, it was interesting.
00:55:57You're so connected. The moment we met, I knew we were all destined to work together.
00:56:03How did you see that?
00:56:05We got an awesome story. I've always wanted to act, and you can play the role of Chelsea, so how can we make it happen?
00:56:13You know, I, I need a refill.
00:56:20So, what did you think?
00:56:23I liked it. You?
00:56:25I loved it.
00:56:27Thanks again for coming with me.
00:56:30I'm glad I did. Are you hungry? Do you want a bite to eat?
00:56:34Yeah, that sounds great.
00:56:41Everything okay?
00:56:44Yeah, um, it was different than I expected.
00:56:50I know, right? The script takes you in a totally different direction than you'd think.
00:56:54No, I, why am I here?
00:56:59What do you mean?
00:57:01You asked to see me the other night and tonight.
00:57:04You inspire me.
00:57:07Okay.
00:57:09I wish all my life to do what you do, but my father envisioned me as Belle and whatever junior partner.
00:57:17But this doesn't have to be a dream. If I can show him this can be real, that I have a shot.
00:57:29How did you come across Jocelyn's work?
00:57:32Oh, I've always told her she's creative.
00:57:35She thought I was just saying that because I'm her boyfriend, but I think she gets it now.
00:57:40So tell me, honestly, do you think we can get this movie going for all of us?
00:57:48Oh, wow. What did you tell him?
00:57:51I gave him my new agent's number.
00:57:53And that's it?
00:57:55Well, I called ahead and I told my agent to take it somewhat seriously. You know, hey, this is Barry, he wants to act, he has this new project, etc, etc.
00:58:03You are nicer than I am. Barry led you on.
00:58:06I don't think he meant to.
00:58:07I mean, by the way, you were describing how he was acting towards you.
00:58:10Well, he's kind of got a flirtatious personality, and now that I think about it, every conversation we had was about acting.
00:58:18It was just business to him. And I don't think I can fault him for it.
00:58:22Why not?
00:58:24Having broken Zane's heart without realizing he had feelings for me. Can I really put down Barry?
00:58:30Okay, fine. But are you okay?
00:58:33Yeah. If I don't dwell on how I misread everything and how Gray's going to tease me about it, yeah, I'm fine.
00:58:39Well, don't tell Gray then.
00:58:41He's going to figure out that my relationship fizzled out somehow.
00:58:45Then let him figure it out. You don't have to tell him the details.
00:58:49Okay. Class time. I'm going to get out of your way.
00:58:53Okay. Hang in there. Let me know how it goes, okay?
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:19Hey, how are you?
00:59:21Good.
00:59:23Do you want to do something tonight? I was thinking of, you know, staying in and maybe having a girls' night or something.
00:59:28I can't. I had to come home for my lunch because I wasn't going to have time to come get an outfit later.
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:35Gray invited me over for dinner.
00:59:37He did?
00:59:39Yeah.
00:59:41Just you?
00:59:43Yeah.
00:59:45Well, that's great.
00:59:47I should probably hurry back to work.
00:59:49Yes, yes, you should go.
00:59:51Bye.
01:00:03Bye.
01:00:12Hello?
01:00:15I did?
01:00:17Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
01:00:22You headed out?
01:00:24Yeah.
01:00:25Did you hear?
01:00:26Uh, what?
01:00:27Emma got that role she wanted.
01:00:29That's great.
01:00:30Liz and I are headed over to celebrate. You coming?
01:00:33No, I'm going on a date with Hope.
01:00:36Oh, well, that's great. That makes sense. I just wasn't expecting it.
01:00:42She's nice.
01:00:44Yeah, I like her.
01:00:46Is Emma okay with it?
01:00:48Why wouldn't she be?
01:00:50Well, I don't know. She's been trying to set up Hope for a while.
01:00:53She'll get over it.
01:00:54And I thought you and Emma, you're good friends.
01:00:58And?
01:01:00And, maybe I thought there might be something deeper than friendship at times.
01:01:05I'm like the brother Emma's never had.
01:01:08That's not what I meant.
01:01:10She goes on dates, tells me about her latest love life.
01:01:13Maybe I should do the same.
01:01:15Give someone a chance.
01:01:16The director said that the studio execs loved me.
01:01:20They saw my range, and they realized that I could really make this movie stand out.
01:01:25When do you start filming?
01:01:27A week from Tuesday. I have so much to do.
01:01:30I have to meet with the director, go over the character, fight choreography, costume fitting.
01:01:35Ugh, and I really need to get started on memorizing my lines.
01:01:39The character is-
01:01:40No, no, no, no.
01:01:41Ugh, and I really need to get started on memorizing my lines.
01:01:45The character is-
01:01:46No, don't spoil it.
01:01:48So, Grey needs to get going on your contract then.
01:01:51Yeah, it'll be fine. I'll tell him tomorrow.
01:01:54You haven't told him?
01:01:55Not yet.
01:01:57I thought he'd be your first call. Where is he tonight?
01:02:01On a date.
01:02:03I didn't think he dated much.
01:02:05I guess he's starting.
01:02:07With who?
01:02:09Hope.
01:02:11That's sweet, isn't it?
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:16Well, I was trying to set her up with someone, so Grey kind of derailed my plans there.
01:02:24It's fine. It happens.
01:02:27This next scene is great, though. Scene 30.
01:02:34Okay, here in the aftermath of the battle, I think she would be shaken.
01:02:38I like it. I like it because that's the opposite of what you'd expect in such a moment of triumph.
01:02:45Exactly. Instead of glorying in her victory, she's vulnerable.
01:02:52But what about when she faces Mordak? Am I saying that right?
01:02:56Yes, yes. I want her to doubt herself.
01:02:59And then she becomes overconfident when he stumbles.
01:03:03And then she's doubtful again.
01:03:05Got it. Excuse me.
01:03:06We have a problem with our Mordak actor. He broke his leg water skiing.
01:03:10Oh. Well, what other options do we have?
01:03:13Here's who the studio wants.
01:03:15Okay. Sorry, Emma.
01:03:17Oh, no problem. Oh, Emma, we haven't received your contract back yet.
01:03:20Oh, I texted my lawyer about it. He said he's just going through it and I'll get back to you.
01:03:26Excuse me.
01:03:28Okay.
01:03:30Hi, Hope. Yeah.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:35Yeah, no. Lunch sounds great. Okay.
01:03:38Alright. See you then. Bye.
01:03:41Let's go.
01:03:44Alright.
01:03:47Where were we?
01:03:51Grey is so kind. Every moment I spend with him makes me like him more.
01:03:56Oh, good. So you two are dating?
01:03:58I guess so. I don't know. It's, you know, so early still.
01:04:02But I wanted your input.
01:04:05Mine?
01:04:07Tell me about him. Everything.
01:04:09Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Where do you want me to begin?
01:04:12Uh, his family.
01:04:15Um, okay. Uh, well, it's his parents and his younger brother.
01:04:20And, um, his dad is a chief something or other of a company.
01:04:24Uh, he's retired.
01:04:26And his mother is a doctor and she's actually still practicing.
01:04:30Wow. That's intimidating.
01:04:34Don't worry. You're a dentist. You've worked and studied hard to get where you are too.
01:04:39So what made Grey go into law school?
01:04:42He saw what it was like to be a doctor from his mom and, you know, what it was like to be in business from his dad.
01:04:49And I think he just, he wanted something different.
01:04:53And, um, I remember when I found out he got into law school, he was so proud.
01:04:59About a month in though, he hated it.
01:05:01Why?
01:05:03It's so competitive, you know, and I think he liked the challenge and he liked what he learned.
01:05:07But he just didn't love the atmosphere.
01:05:09You know, he even considered quitting.
01:05:11Yeah.
01:05:13And he knew though, if he did, he'd be mad at himself later.
01:05:15And I told him the only thing that mattered was if he was happy.
01:05:19Or if he could be happy with whatever he chose.
01:05:21And I had gotten this role.
01:05:24It was my first full film.
01:05:26And they sent me a contract.
01:05:28Didn't really know what to think of it.
01:05:30So I asked Grey and, you know, he explained everything to me.
01:05:36And what questions to ask.
01:05:38And it really got him thinking that maybe contracts in a specific industry were better suited for him than, you know,
01:05:45the usual field.
01:05:47That's how he came to be your lawyer.
01:05:49Yes, yes.
01:05:51I knew I could always trust him.
01:05:53You know, he's my, he's my best friend.
01:05:58Well, what about things he likes?
01:06:02Oh, you don't want me to tell you everything.
01:06:05If you like him, don't miss out on getting to know him yourself.
01:06:16Hi.
01:06:24And five, six, seven, and a one, a three, four.
01:06:28Awesome. Good job. Very nice, you guys.
01:06:30Thank you so much. Keep practicing those leaps and we'll see you next week.
01:06:34Good job.
01:06:36Emma, what's wrong?
01:06:38Is Eleanor here yet?
01:06:40I know. Is she supposed to be?
01:06:42I texted her to meet. I'm here.
01:06:43What's wrong?
01:06:45I thought I could ignore it, but I can't.
01:06:48What?
01:06:50Gray.
01:06:52What did he do?
01:06:54Nothing. It's just, you know, he and Hope are dating and it kept bothering me.
01:06:58And, you know, I thought it was like, oh, it's just because I couldn't match them.
01:07:02Or maybe it's because things didn't work out between me and Barry.
01:07:06And it's not that.
01:07:09So what's bothering you then?
01:07:11I love him.
01:07:14I love Gray.
01:07:17I'm so happy for you.
01:07:20Okay, but are you sure?
01:07:22What kind of question is that?
01:07:24Well, I mean, let's face it. Emma can be a bit oblivious when it comes to romance,
01:07:28which is remarkable considering how many times she acts like she falls in love in movies.
01:07:32Okay, she's not oblivious.
01:07:34Yeah, I'm not.
01:07:36Okay, but you date someone and then you realize that there's something that you don't like about them,
01:07:39and so you turn your attention to pairing up other people until somebody else catches your attention.
01:07:43Just because she hasn't really fallen in love before doesn't mean she hasn't wanted it this whole time.
01:07:48Yes, which she said.
01:07:50Okay, but what I mean is, are you sure that it's love and not just jealousy because Gray's attention is on someone else?
01:08:03It's not jealousy.
01:08:04I just think of all the times Gray and I have spent together, and this warmth just fills my soul.
01:08:18He's every happy moment in my life.
01:08:24You are in love.
01:08:26Of course she is.
01:08:29But he's with Hope now.
01:08:31So?
01:08:32I can't interfere with that.
01:08:34I don't want to hurt Hope again.
01:08:38And I don't want to hurt Gray either.
01:08:40How would that hurt Gray?
01:08:42I don't know if he sees me as one of his clients like I thought of Zane.
01:08:46Like, what if I'm the Zane here?
01:08:49You are not the Zane.
01:08:51You need to tell him how you feel.
01:08:53Unless you're scared that he may not feel the same way, like it'll make your friendship awkward.
01:08:58Yes, that.
01:09:00Eleanor, don't make her doubt.
01:09:02You need to tell Gray how you feel.
01:09:04What about Hope?
01:09:06Yeah, what about her?
01:09:07She'll get over it.
01:09:08Liz!
01:09:09What?
01:09:10If she's a good friend, she's going to want this for Emma.
01:09:12That's a two-way street.
01:09:15What if Hope and Gray are happy?
01:09:18I mean, no, think about it. When was the last time Gray dated anybody?
01:09:22And, you know, Hope, she's, she's sweet, and she's smart, and can I blame him for saying that too?
01:09:33Gray and I have been best friends for years.
01:09:40I missed my chance.
01:09:45But I want him to be happy too.
01:09:49Even if that means I won't be a part of that happiness.
01:09:53Come here.
01:10:03Barry, Gray, good to see you.
01:10:06Did Emma tell you? She set up a meeting for me with her agent.
01:10:09No, why?
01:10:11I'm getting into the business.
01:10:13Don't tell my father, though, yet.
01:10:15Yeah, Emma read a script, Emma grew-
01:10:19Hold on, this is her.
01:10:21Hey, baby.
01:10:23No, I can talk, I'm not doing anything.
01:10:33If there is no-
01:10:35If our chances are so poor, do we give up then?
01:10:38No, we hold for hope.
01:10:41Spread the word, fall back to the forest.
01:10:44The fight for our very salvation is just the beginning.
01:10:48Hey, thought I heard you back here.
01:10:51I have a contract for you to sign.
01:10:53Oh, thank you.
01:10:57Everything alright?
01:10:59Everything alright?
01:11:01Um, I'm just nervous about this role.
01:11:06You'll do fine.
01:11:10You have everything you want?
01:11:14Yeah.
01:11:18Hey, I'm happy for you.
01:11:21Me too. I mean, for you.
01:11:25You know, you and Hope.
01:11:28That's, that's great.
01:11:31Thanks.
01:11:33And I guess you saved me from pairing her up with someone else, so.
01:11:37That's probably a good thing.
01:11:39After Zane, definitely.
01:11:43I can't fault her choice.
01:11:46You're the best any woman could ask for.
01:11:58I should really, I'm so behind on my lines. I should be practicing.
01:12:02Yeah, you do that, and I'll see you later.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:21It's so simple, but people ignore it all the time.
01:12:24You know, I think I had a slew of cavities when I was a kid.
01:12:26Before I started the whole flossing device.
01:12:28You're not alone.
01:12:30I should be thankful because it keeps the dental industry going.
01:12:35Thanks for tonight.
01:12:37I had a good time.
01:12:40Are we still on for the movies this weekend?
01:12:43Sure. I'll pick up the tickets.
01:12:45Okay.
01:12:50Goodnight, Hope.
01:12:52Goodnight.
01:12:58Goodnight.
01:13:06When are you going to grow up? You're so immature.
01:13:08Oh, yeah. This was your idea anyway. I won't stay and waste away here.
01:13:17The only wasting with Barry was his credit card bill. For having no clients, he sure took a lot of work lunches.
01:13:23Are you surprised he quit?
01:13:25No.
01:13:26I wonder what Emma's going to think about all this.
01:13:28Why would she care?
01:13:30They're dating.
01:13:32Yeah, that never really happened. Their relationship was pretty much over before it began.
01:13:37What? Why didn't she tell me?
01:13:39Maybe she didn't want to distract you with you and Hope dating.
01:13:44Great.
01:13:46What?
01:13:48Another contract. From one of my more difficult clients.
01:13:50Sorry.
01:13:52I better get back to work.
01:13:57You did great. Good job. Now remember to floss, guys. Right?
01:14:01I will.
01:14:03Thanks, guys. See you next time.
01:14:05Hi.
01:14:07Hey. I have those reservations for 6.30.
01:14:09Oh, perfect. I'm just finishing a few things up.
01:14:11Great.
01:14:13How was your day?
01:14:15I survived.
01:14:17That bad?
01:14:19It's just this one client. I handle a lot of entertainment contracts, like for actors.
01:14:23Like Emma?
01:14:24Actors, actresses, some of them could just be so bossy.
01:14:29It's like you can't even talk to them.
01:14:31It's like they're condescending to even address you.
01:14:34You're kidding. Although, I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, right?
01:14:38Never mind the fact that I have a law degree, successful career, and that I'm good at my job.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:45It's not just me either. Unless it's someone they need a favor from, they're vicious.
01:14:51Yeah, lawyers get the bad reputation.
01:14:52Lucky me.
01:14:54Listen, you're the best, and if your clients can't see that, well, then that's their loss.
01:15:00Thanks.
01:15:02I never thought you'd have to deal with something like that.
01:15:05Mean people? In law?
01:15:07No, people who look down on you.
01:15:10Well, I may have been spoiled from the beginning. Emma was my first client, but she was never like that.
01:15:17And she was already a friend.
01:15:19Already a friend.
01:15:21Yeah, she's always been nice to other people.
01:15:24She's never done the whole, I'm gonna talk down to you just because I think I can, that others do.
01:15:30Yeah, I see what you mean.
01:15:32That's what I admire about her.
01:15:34She's never let the camera, the fame, whatever it is, change her.
01:15:42She's always been Emma Hart.
01:15:45You really admire her.
01:15:48What do you mean?
01:15:50You love her.
01:15:53It's all right. I thought it was just friendship. A special one, but nothing more.
01:16:00And she was dating someone, and you said yes, so I just.
01:16:04Hope, we're not.
01:16:06No, I know, there's nothing going on between you two, but I can see that you care for her.
01:16:11I can see that you care for her, and I think that she loves you too, and I just don't want to stand in the way of that.
01:16:19We're friends. We're not gonna be anything more than that.
01:16:22Well, not if you don't try. Have you? Have you talked to her about how you feel?
01:16:28Doesn't matter. I'm seeing you.
01:16:31Well, maybe you shouldn't anymore.
01:16:34Gray, think about it. Be honest with yourself. Besides, I'm not too crazy about being someone's second choice.
01:16:49What now, then?
01:16:51For me, I'm fine just focusing on work for a while without worrying about dating, but I'd still like to be your friend.
01:17:00Me too.
01:17:13Come in.
01:17:16Hey.
01:17:17Hey, happy first day of your movie.
01:17:21You'll do great.
01:17:22Oh, thanks.
01:17:24Have you talked to Gray lately?
01:17:26No, I've been busy.
01:17:30Of course. You should, though. I just, I've been seeing things and thinking, and he and I are kind of...
01:17:39I'm sorry, I need to get going. It's never good to be late on the first day.
01:17:42Oh, of course.
01:17:44Can we catch up later, though?
01:17:45You bet.
01:17:46Okay.
01:17:47I hope everything goes great.
01:17:52Here you go.
01:17:54You're welcome.
01:17:56You're welcome.
01:18:02May I join you?
01:18:03Hey, yeah.
01:18:10Job listings, huh?
01:18:12Are you jumping ship?
01:18:14Not at all, but I know this is temporary.
01:18:18Well, I can check at the firm.
01:18:19It's okay. I mean, nothing lasts forever.
01:18:22It's better to be prepared.
01:18:23Although, check out this one. Personal Auditor.
01:18:28Huh?
01:18:29Yeah. Helps sort through receipts from past decade for an internal revenue service audit.
01:18:36Sounds thrilling.
01:18:40How are you doing?
01:18:42Okay, I guess.
01:18:48Hope said we shouldn't go out anymore.
01:18:51That's unexpected. I thought she liked you.
01:18:55She thinks...
01:18:57She thinks that I'm in love with Emma.
01:19:01So, what do you think?
01:19:06So, what are you doing here?
01:19:10I've known her a long time, but I don't even know how she feels.
01:19:14You should go see her.
01:19:16Talk to her.
01:19:18Because how she feels is something you should hear directly from her.
01:19:45All right, everyone, are we ready?
01:19:47Last looks, please.
01:19:49Let's go.
01:19:52All right, let's go.
01:19:55Okay, everybody get in position, please. Here we go.
01:19:58And let's roll it.
01:20:01Camera space.
01:20:03Camera space.
01:20:05Camera space.
01:20:07Camera space.
01:20:09Camera space.
01:20:11Camera space.
01:20:12And let's roll it.
01:20:14Camera space.
01:20:16Scene 45, take one, marker.
01:20:18And action.
01:20:26My lady, we won't succeed.
01:20:29If we fail now, we never recover.
01:20:32We never return to any happiness, nor peace, which so many of us have fought for since we were children.
01:20:39What are we to do? You are to lead us, aren't you?
01:20:42We retreat.
01:20:44Retreat?
01:20:46We must. Not for our own lives, but for those of every village near and far.
01:20:52What difference will it make whether we die today or in another battle?
01:20:56Yes, that's right.
01:20:58If our chances are so poor, do we give up then?
01:21:02No.
01:21:04We hold to hope.
01:21:08Oh, that's your answer.
01:21:10When there is none other, yes.
01:21:13Spread the words. Fall back to the forest.
01:21:17The fight for our very salvation is just the beginning.
01:21:21And cut.
01:21:24And that's a cut.
01:21:26Emma, Emma, that was great.
01:21:29Just a little bobble on the hope line, but it was great. The emotion, very strong.
01:21:33Now, what do you think if we gradually work into the confidence, let it slowly ramp up, and then boom.
01:21:40I like it. Yeah, um, can I have a moment?
01:21:43Yes, of course. All right, everyone, let's reset.
01:21:46Um, please.
01:21:49What are you doing here?
01:21:51I know I don't do this.
01:21:53Oh, no, you're fine. I'm just, I'm surprised.
01:21:56I just couldn't wait till later.
01:21:58For what?
01:22:00To see you.
01:22:01Oh, no, what happened?
01:22:03No, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong. I, uh, I've waited a long time to just tell you that...
01:22:12I love you.
01:22:15You do?
01:22:17Yeah, I love you, and I know our family forced us to endure each other's company when we were younger, but somewhere along the way, we became friends, didn't we?
01:22:28Of course.
01:22:29And somewhere after that, I always hoped we'd be more than friends, and that you would see me as that, too.
01:22:40And then you started dating Barry, and I just thought I had to move on.
01:22:46The one about Hope.
01:22:48She's fine. We're not seeing each other anymore. She actually was the one that helped me figure out how I feel.
01:22:53She did?
01:22:55Yeah. And it doesn't matter what she or anyone else thinks.
01:22:59Only you.
01:23:09I love you, too.
01:23:13I always have. I just didn't realize it until I thought it was too late.
01:23:19You're not.
01:23:23Good. Because I do love you.
01:23:29Tell makeup we're gonna need touch-ups again.
