00:00:00Hey, Winston, play Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.
00:00:30Hey, Winston.
00:01:00Hey, Winston, play Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.
00:01:29Hi, Colette. I can't talk too long. I have a video conference in 10.
00:01:35Just making sure that we are still on for happy hour later tonight.
00:01:39I would not miss it.
00:01:40Mm-hmm. No chance of a last-minute request from the big boss who likes to keep you working till midnight.
00:01:45No chance, I promise.
00:01:46Okay, good.
00:01:47Hubby's on call, and I have just confirmed with the sitter.
00:01:50There he goes, sweetie. Do you want to say hi to Liv?
00:01:52Hi, Liv.
00:01:52Hi, Lizzie.
00:01:54Okay, look, I know you gotta go, but good luck today.
00:01:57Isn't this the week you're supposed to hear about that big VP promotion?
00:01:59Yes, it was supposed to be, but we just pulled a last-minute acquisition of a boutique social media startup.
00:02:06So now Walter is deep in the Walter way, obsessing over every little thing about this new company.
00:02:11Meanwhile, all the real work falls to me while he peacocks around.
00:02:14Why does he always do this?
00:02:16It's fine. It'll be worth it when the promotion comes through.
00:02:18This is that visual arts startup that you were telling me about?
00:02:21Yeah, Artist Access.
00:02:22Well, you were so excited about that one.
00:02:24Well, it's gonna be interesting. We have yet to see how they will work within our system.
00:02:29Ah, yes, the corporate odd couple.
00:02:31Definitely their head designer, anyway.
00:02:34I've only met him a couple times online via video conference.
00:02:36I'll be shocked if he's even on time for this meeting.
00:02:44Mm-hmm.
00:02:48Oh, no.
00:02:56I'm Chad Ricketts, head of HR.
00:02:59Now, I know you folks at Artist Access have a lot of questions as you settle in.
00:03:04Don't worry about it.
00:03:05Feel free to contact me anytime.
00:03:08Thank you, Chad.
00:03:08And seriously, same goes for me.
00:03:10We want this transition to be as smooth as possible.
00:03:13So reach out.
00:03:14I'm usually hardwired to my email 24-7.
00:03:16Uh, I know that we are still waiting for Tom Cole.
00:03:19Uh, Tom might be having connectivity issues.
00:03:22Just checking in with him.
00:03:29Does he know he has to click the link for it to work?
00:03:32Sorry I'm late.
00:03:33Sorry.
00:03:33I, uh, I lost track of time in the land of charcoal and paper.
00:03:37Oh.
00:03:37I live?
00:03:39Hi.
00:03:40Hey, we were just about to get down to brass tacks.
00:03:42That sounds fun.
00:03:45Well, hopefully I can, uh, I can liven the mood a bit.
00:03:48I know as creative types, like a little bit of positive energy.
00:03:51And hopefully Walter doesn't go too corporate on us on day one.
00:03:55Did somebody say Walter?
00:03:56Yes, sir.
00:03:57That was me.
00:03:58I did.
00:03:58I was, I was just saying that I think that, um...
00:04:00Uh, Tom was just saying how excited the Artist Access employees are to be part of our empire.
00:04:05Oh, well, I am glad to hear it, Tom.
00:04:08You know, when I first started Omega Technologies, I was just an eager tech developer who wanted
00:04:14to explore all the corners of the tech universe.
00:04:18And now, well, it's one of the largest tech conglomerates in the world.
00:04:23I know in my gut that with the groundwork you've done, this may just be a perfect fit.
00:04:30And in order to maintain continuity, I want to announce that Tom Cole will remain head
00:04:35designer moving forward.
00:04:38Anything you'd like to say?
00:04:39Yeah, thanks, Walter.
00:04:41Um, ever since I joined Artist Access in the very beginning as head designer, um, it, I fell
00:04:47in love with the whole concept.
00:04:49And now with Omega Technologies, we get to do what we do so well on a whole new level.
00:04:54And create jobs all across the world, so, cheers.
00:04:59Wow, we are very excited to have you join our empire.
00:05:03Yes, we are so excited, truly.
00:05:06Uh, Liv, can you do me a favor and mute yourself while I'm talking?
00:05:09Yep, so sorry.
00:05:11Sorry, muting now.
00:05:12No worries.
00:05:12For those of you who don't know Liv Smith, she is our director of corporate strategy.
00:05:16Uh, well, we, we, we can hear you now, Liv.
00:05:23Sorry, again.
00:05:24I was just saying I am so happy to be here to implement Mr. Cook's vision of the company
00:05:28moving forward.
00:05:30Whatever that may be.
00:05:31Well, the first step in my vision is to enact a return to office policy.
00:05:38Effective this Monday, all employees will return to the office in person.
00:05:43Look, it's, it's the right move if we want this partnership to be a reality.
00:05:48I mean, let's all, let's all get to know each other in real life, huh?
00:05:52So buckle up, rodeo riders, because it's time to go back to the bullpen.
00:05:56Uh, excuse me, sir, if I may, we don't currently have the desk space to accommodate the entire
00:06:01team.
00:06:02Well, uh, Liv, I've come up with a plan.
00:06:05Half of the employees will come in on Monday and Wednesdays, and the other half will report
00:06:10on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
00:06:13Friday, we'll all work from home.
00:06:16Except Chad and Jackie, who will be here every day to assist you all.
00:06:20Well, I, I, for one, am pumped.
00:06:22I mean, in person with real people?
00:06:24Ugh, let's go.
00:06:25How exciting.
00:06:26See, that's the attitude, Tom.
00:06:28I can't wait to see you all in the building.
00:06:31Ciao.
00:06:31Okay, great.
00:06:32Bye, everybody.
00:06:32You gotta be kidding me.
00:06:36I don't, I don't really see what the big deal is, though.
00:06:38It's just, I've developed a routine, and you know how much I love my routines.
00:06:42Right, so you have your classical music.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:44Matcha, yoga, oatmeal.
00:06:46Yes, and I perfected my home office to maximum efficiency.
00:06:49It's quiet, with no distractions.
00:06:50Ah, yes, your, your sound thing.
00:06:52But, I mean, isn't your office at Omega Tech quiet?
00:06:55Well, yeah, it was, but now Walter's wanting to put me amongst the new folk, get the pulse of
00:06:59things, so with my luck, I'll be fighting with Chad from HR to not get stuck at a desk
00:07:03by the bathroom.
00:07:04Oh.
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:05So, which one are you going to choose?
00:07:07Monday, Wednesday, or Tuesday, Thursday?
00:07:10Monday, Wednesday, is that way I make it to my quilting class earlier on Thursday.
00:07:13See, it's all going to work out, as long as you don't start fighting with Chad from
00:07:17HR.
00:07:18Well, I'll try to hold back.
00:07:21We'll see.
00:07:29Hey, Chad.
00:07:36Are there no more desks by the window?
00:07:37You should have gotten here earlier.
00:07:39Well, I would have, but I got stuck in traffic, and I, boop.
00:07:44Well, I'd hurry and grab whatever's left.
00:07:47Once you're settled, that'll be your desk for the year.
00:07:49Great.
00:07:49Oh, but, but, don't get too comfy, because that'll be your deskmate's desk on Tuesdays
00:07:54and Thursdays.
00:07:55Goodbye.
00:07:57Oh!
00:08:00Sorry.
00:08:01It's fine.
00:08:02I think there's one by the kitchen.
00:08:04You know I don't do smells.
00:08:06I thought you don't do sounds.
00:08:08Both, Kevin, it's both.
00:08:09Mm.
00:08:10Mm.
00:08:11Mm.
00:08:21Mm.
00:08:21Mm.
00:08:22Mm.
00:08:23Mm.
00:08:25And we're back.
00:08:37How many times does somebody have to run that blender?
00:08:41Does that live?
00:08:42Hey, sir.
00:08:43Hey.
00:08:45I said, uh, how much spinach do you need to get the right amount of greens?
00:08:49Oh.
00:08:50Well, you know, I'm not shy.
00:08:52Sometimes I'll put a whole clamshell in there.
00:08:55You want to try it?
00:08:56Yes, I do.
00:08:57Okay.
00:09:00Here you go.
00:09:01Mm.
00:09:02Mm.
00:09:03Mm.
00:09:04Mm.
00:09:04Mm.
00:09:04Mm.
00:09:04Mm.
00:09:08Good, right?
00:09:11That tastes healthy.
00:09:13You know the kitchen is the most inspiring space?
00:09:16Because every spice, every herb, every ingredient is an idea.
00:09:20And when you cook, it just activates the creative part of the brain.
00:09:24Yes.
00:09:25I never thought of it like that.
00:09:26Mm-hmm.
00:09:26Mm-hmm.
00:09:26Well, I really appreciate you being a team player, because we're going to need your leadership
00:09:30when it comes to onboarding the newbies.
00:09:32You know, they're going to have to learn the Walter way.
00:09:35Especially Tom.
00:09:36He's used to working without management.
00:09:39Yes, sir.
00:09:40And actually, we should talk about that, because now that we're taking them international, they
00:09:43could use a little bit of a facelift.
00:09:45Great.
00:09:46Put a deck together.
00:09:47And if this goes well, who knows, this could be your ticket to VP.
00:09:53If you get stuck, my door is always open.
00:09:55Thank you, sir.
00:09:56And if you need me, my wall is always open.
00:10:17Dear deskmate, I know we're supposed to stow our personal items, but I hope you don't
00:10:27mind me leaving out the succulent.
00:10:30It needs constant light, and I think it spruces up the place.
00:10:34You do, don't you?
00:10:36Thank you in advance for your understanding.
00:10:39Sincerely, Ms. Munday.
00:10:46Alley-hoop.
00:10:47Boom, shaka-laka.
00:10:50Great pass, intern.
00:10:52All right, I'll see you later.
00:10:53I gotta go suss up the new digs.
00:10:55Mm-hmm.
00:10:56Hey.
00:10:59Kevin, my favorite twin.
00:11:01Boom, we got it.
00:11:03Did you get a haircut?
00:11:03It looks fantastic.
00:11:07Hi.
00:11:09Well, there he is.
00:11:11Walter, hey, so good to meet you in person.
00:11:13Are you a Knuckles guy or like a Roman forearm class kind of guy?
00:11:17Well, this is not an authentic Roman greeting.
00:11:20It's just Hollywood Godswallow.
00:11:22Godswallow?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:23Wow, you don't hear that every day.
00:11:24Tell me, Tom.
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:25What's your post-acquisition vision for artists' access?
00:11:28I mean, how do you want to be viewed now that you have the power of Omega Tech behind you?
00:11:32Ah, yeah.
00:11:33Okay, wow.
00:11:34We're diving right into it, aren't we?
00:11:35Mm-hmm.
00:11:35Um, I actually, I have tons of ideas I'd love to talk about, but I just don't, uh, have
00:11:42them all, like, like, flushed out right now, you know?
00:11:45Mm-hmm.
00:11:46Can I get back to you on this?
00:11:49Sure.
00:11:51Sure.
00:11:55It didn't go very well, did it?
00:11:57Airball.
00:11:57Airball.
00:11:58Mm-hmm.
00:12:00Keep it up, ladies.
00:12:01What do you want to do?
00:12:12Tom!
00:12:13Hey!
00:12:13Hey, good to see ya.
00:12:15You too.
00:12:16You sure this desk doesn't work out all right?
00:12:17Yeah, no, this'll be great.
00:12:18I'm right next to where all the action is.
00:12:20It'll get my creative juices flowing.
00:12:21Okay.
00:12:22Okay.
00:12:22Glad to have you here.
00:12:23Yeah, good to be here.
00:12:25Love that energy.
00:12:26All right.
00:12:29Us.
00:12:30Uh, here we have one.
00:12:38Cool.
00:12:40All right.
00:12:44Dear Miss Monday, I like the succulents.
00:12:50In fact, I brought some things of my own.
00:12:53I hope you like them.
00:12:57Sincerely,
00:13:00Mr. Tuesday.
00:13:03Mr. Tuesday.
00:13:03What the?
00:13:30What is this mess?
00:13:33Are you kidding me?
00:13:36No.
00:13:39So much trash.
00:13:45You have lost your trash can privileges.
00:13:47There's so much stuff.
00:13:56Why?
00:14:01That's not bad, actually.
00:14:03These are so random.
00:14:08What's with the duck?
00:14:09Why?
00:14:09Why the duck?
00:14:10Why the duck?
00:14:10I...
00:14:10Dear Mr. Tuesday,
00:14:26nice to meet you.
00:14:28And your stuff.
00:14:29I've been thinking,
00:14:31let's just stick to the rules.
00:14:33Put our stuff away at the end of the day.
00:14:36I'll use the bottom drawer,
00:14:38and I've placed your effects in the top.
00:14:41What?
00:14:45Unbelievable.
00:14:46All right.
00:14:49Dear Miss Monday,
00:14:50sure,
00:14:51I can't force you to have good taste in decor.
00:14:54Although,
00:14:55if we're going to be consistent,
00:14:57the cactus should be put away as well.
00:14:59Mr. Tuesday.
00:15:00Where is my succulent?
00:15:11Where is my succulent?
00:15:17How could you?
00:15:25Mr. Tuesday,
00:15:26the succulent needs constant light,
00:15:29or else it will die.
00:15:32What is that spell?
00:15:43No.
00:15:43As we share this desk,
00:15:56there is one more thing.
00:15:57Now what?
00:15:58Please throw away your food.
00:16:00A ham sandwich left in a desk drawer
00:16:02with the heat on all weekend
00:16:03creates some very...
00:16:05original smells.
00:16:06Um, come on, man.
00:16:08Be better.
00:16:11Miss Monday.
00:16:12I am so sorry.
00:16:16The trash can
00:16:17got moved somewhere else.
00:16:20I set it in the drawer
00:16:21for a minute,
00:16:23and I
00:16:24completely forgot.
00:16:27As a token of my apology,
00:16:28please accept this
00:16:29pan au chocolat.
00:16:31It is my favorite
00:16:31in the entire city.
00:16:33What pan au chocolat?
00:16:34This says for the desk
00:16:35closest to the kitchen.
00:16:37Thanks.
00:16:37Oh, this pan au chocolat.
00:16:43Ooh, looks good.
00:16:46Sorry again.
00:16:47P.S.
00:16:48I'm down to keep
00:16:48the cactus out at all times.
00:16:50Mr. Tuesday.
00:16:51You are totally forgiven.
00:17:04We meet again.
00:17:05Dear Mr. Tuesday,
00:17:24thank you for the croissants.
00:17:25I agree,
00:17:26it's the best I've had
00:17:27possibly in my life,
00:17:28and I've been to Paris.
00:17:29Maybe it's the euphoria
00:17:32of the chocolate talking,
00:17:33but now I'm thinking
00:17:34our desk could use
00:17:35a little more sprucing up.
00:17:37I like this blue color.
00:17:39It almost hurts my eyes
00:17:40to look at it.
00:17:41What is it?
00:17:42Your choco-ganger,
00:17:44Miss Monday.
00:17:50Choco-ganger.
00:17:51Sorry.
00:17:58Come on, Miss Monday.
00:18:00Learn how to work
00:18:00a desk chair.
00:18:12Dear Miss Monday,
00:18:13it's called
00:18:14Yin-Ming Blue,
00:18:15the first new blue pigment
00:18:16since the invention
00:18:17of cobalt 200 years ago.
00:18:19It gets its name
00:18:20from a combination
00:18:20of yttrium,
00:18:22indium,
00:18:22and manganese oxides.
00:18:24Yeah, nerd alert.
00:18:26Okay, I'll try
00:18:27something more broad.
00:18:28Look in the drawer.
00:18:29What is he up to?
00:18:32Oh, we are chatty today,
00:18:34Mr. Tuesday.
00:18:35How are you adjusting
00:18:36to life back at the office?
00:18:38I think we got
00:18:39the best seat in the house,
00:18:40even when you booby-trap it
00:18:41by forgetting
00:18:41to tighten the adjustment knob.
00:18:43I did do that.
00:18:44I'm sorry.
00:18:45Last time I sat down,
00:18:46I was reminded
00:18:47of my childhood
00:18:47in that time,
00:18:48I got violently ill
00:18:49on a rollercoaster.
00:18:54That's funny
00:18:55because I feel
00:18:56like I'm lowriding
00:18:56after you've adjusted
00:18:57the chair
00:18:58to your preferred height.
00:19:04I like that visual.
00:19:06You should play
00:19:06the lowrider song
00:19:07next time you sit out.
00:19:09Lowrider.
00:19:10That's a good idea.
00:19:12I think a Bach concerto
00:19:13would be a better soundtrack
00:19:14to the seat falling,
00:19:15much more conducive
00:19:16to the workplace.
00:19:20How refined of you.
00:19:22Have you always had
00:19:23such classy taste in music?
00:19:26I just feel like
00:19:27if you're going to do
00:19:27something stressful,
00:19:28you might as well
00:19:29be listening to something
00:19:30relaxing.
00:19:33Like the way you think.
00:19:37Likewise.
00:19:38we should be
00:19:40in business together.
00:19:44Wink face.
00:19:47Speaking of,
00:19:48I'm assuming
00:19:49Miss Monday
00:19:49will be at the
00:19:50All Hands meeting
00:19:50this Monday?
00:19:53Wouldn't miss it.
00:19:55Plus, it's mandatory
00:19:55so we literally can't.
00:19:59Should I bring
00:20:00a single red rose
00:20:01to reveal my identity?
00:20:03Sincerely,
00:20:06Miss Monday.
00:20:09You know,
00:20:09I've been thinking
00:20:10about this.
00:20:11Maybe we keep
00:20:12our identity secret
00:20:12for now,
00:20:13just to keep it simple.
00:20:14Who knows?
00:20:15You could end up
00:20:15being my boss
00:20:16for all we know.
00:20:17I'd hate to ruin
00:20:17what we have here
00:20:18with boring office politics.
00:20:20Thoughts?
00:20:21Mr. Tuesday.
00:20:22After thoughtful consideration,
00:20:24I concur.
00:20:25I'm happy to keep
00:20:26our uncomplicated,
00:20:28sweet, refreshing
00:20:29relationship
00:20:29literally literal.
00:20:31Sincerely,
00:20:32Miss Monday.
00:20:33The spot reserved?
00:20:53No, no, no.
00:20:54We are all equals
00:20:55at Omega Tech.
00:20:58Live, right?
00:20:59Yeah.
00:20:59Tom Cole.
00:21:04You got it.
00:21:05Great to meet you
00:21:05in person, finally.
00:21:06Yeah.
00:21:07Yeah, you too.
00:21:08So funny.
00:21:08You look, I mean,
00:21:10you look different
00:21:11in person.
00:21:12You know,
00:21:12I get that a lot.
00:21:13I must not have
00:21:13a face for video.
00:21:15Maybe I should get
00:21:15one of those ring lights
00:21:16everyone uses.
00:21:17Well, you do work
00:21:18in social media,
00:21:18so you probably should.
00:21:20Fair point.
00:21:21So what's with this
00:21:24end-of-the-day meeting,
00:21:26huh?
00:21:26Well, Walter gets
00:21:27what Walter wants,
00:21:28and he likes to end
00:21:29the day on a high.
00:21:31Oh, yeah?
00:21:31Is this going to be
00:21:32a high?
00:21:33He will think so.
00:21:38Sorry,
00:21:38I should probably
00:21:39get back to this
00:21:39because Walter
00:21:39has me presenting.
00:21:40Oh, hey,
00:21:41no, please.
00:21:42By all means,
00:21:42go knock him dead.
00:21:44Welcome to Omega Tech.
00:21:49How's everybody doing?
00:21:53The energy in this room
00:21:55is amazing.
00:21:57My goal as chairman
00:21:58is to integrate
00:21:59artist access
00:21:59into our portfolio
00:22:01of platforms
00:22:02that will enable us
00:22:03to scale up
00:22:04its offerings
00:22:05to an international level.
00:22:07And when we're
00:22:07finished updating,
00:22:09a designer in Topeka
00:22:10will be able to team up
00:22:12with a firm in Tokyo
00:22:13and here to propose
00:22:15to us how we're
00:22:16going to do that
00:22:16is my director
00:22:17of corporate strategy,
00:22:18Liv Smith.
00:22:19Let's hear it for you.
00:22:23Thank you, Walter.
00:22:25Now, I promise
00:22:25to keep this short
00:22:26and sweet.
00:22:27To launch this new era,
00:22:28I propose that we start
00:22:29by refreshing
00:22:30the artist access brand,
00:22:32starting with the logo.
00:22:34In order to appeal
00:22:35to Omega Tech's
00:22:36existing international audience,
00:22:38we need to elevate
00:22:39how artist access
00:22:39is seen around the world,
00:22:41keeping to the heart
00:22:42of it, of course,
00:22:43but just a little
00:22:44sprucing up.
00:22:45You're in my head.
00:22:47I mean, I had a dream
00:22:48that we did
00:22:48exactly the same thing.
00:22:50Good, because I had
00:22:51a nightmare
00:22:51that he fired me
00:22:52for having this idea.
00:22:55So if you will
00:22:56indulge my presentation,
00:22:57I have a four-point process
00:22:59on how we can
00:23:00collaboratively come
00:23:01to a consensus.
00:23:02No, no, no, no, no need,
00:23:02no need.
00:23:03It's beautiful.
00:23:04Everything else
00:23:05remains on hold
00:23:06until we unveil
00:23:07the new logo.
00:23:08And Liv,
00:23:09you're going to have
00:23:10to figure out
00:23:10who on Tom's team
00:23:11is the correct person
00:23:12to take the design.
00:23:13From now on,
00:23:15their design team
00:23:16reports to you.
00:23:17Well done.
00:23:18Let's hear it for her.
00:23:19Yes!
00:23:19Hey, well, yeah,
00:23:25so typically,
00:23:27the lead designer
00:23:28usually takes point
00:23:29on the whole brand
00:23:29design decisions,
00:23:31you know?
00:23:32Tom, remember
00:23:33when I asked you
00:23:34about vision?
00:23:35Yeah.
00:23:36Well, Liv has it.
00:23:38I think you're going
00:23:38to learn a lot
00:23:39from working with her.
00:23:41Hey, everybody.
00:23:42Let's hear for the future.
00:23:43Hello.
00:23:48Well,
00:23:48looks like
00:23:50we're not equals
00:23:51after all.
00:24:02Couldn't this
00:24:02have been a call?
00:24:03Yes,
00:24:04it could have been,
00:24:05but I wanted to meet
00:24:06face to face
00:24:06and buy you a coffee.
00:24:07You mean matching matchas?
00:24:09Well, it's my favorite drink
00:24:10and look,
00:24:12I just wanted to
00:24:13extend an olive branch
00:24:15while we address
00:24:16the elephant in the room.
00:24:17And you mean
00:24:18you're absorbing
00:24:19of my entire division.
00:24:20Oh, Walter's decision,
00:24:22not mine.
00:24:22I know,
00:24:23but come on,
00:24:23I was blindsided.
00:24:24So was I.
00:24:25I had a whole plan
00:24:26and Walter wouldn't
00:24:26even let me present it.
00:24:27Why don't you say something?
00:24:28I tried to and...
00:24:30Okay.
00:24:31Transparently,
00:24:32I have been up
00:24:33for this promotion
00:24:33for months now
00:24:35and every time
00:24:36I think it's about
00:24:37to happen,
00:24:37Walter puts something
00:24:38else in front of me
00:24:39and I have to deal with it.
00:24:40So if we could
00:24:41just get this done
00:24:41quickly,
00:24:42that would be great.
00:24:43How do you do it?
00:24:47What exactly?
00:24:48Well, clearly,
00:24:49you're a smart,
00:24:51strong woman.
00:24:52Why do you bend
00:24:53to whatever he wants?
00:24:54Walter has ideas
00:24:55and I execute them.
00:24:57That's how this works.
00:25:00I'm not mad at you.
00:25:01I am mad at the situation.
00:25:02I know.
00:25:03I know that the situation
00:25:04is awkward.
00:25:05but I do believe
00:25:07the rebrand
00:25:07is important.
00:25:09Yeah, I agree.
00:25:11Great.
00:25:12In fact,
00:25:13I do have a designer
00:25:14in mind.
00:25:14Take the lead
00:25:16on the logo redesign.
00:25:17Oh, okay.
00:25:19Me?
00:25:20If you'll allow it.
00:25:22Really?
00:25:23Yeah, why not?
00:25:23I mean,
00:25:24I got my start
00:25:25doing the whole
00:25:25design concept
00:25:26for Artist Access
00:25:27ever since it was
00:25:29an itty-bitty little baby.
00:25:31Now, I know
00:25:31it has to grow up
00:25:32but please,
00:25:33let me be the one
00:25:33to send it off
00:25:34to college.
00:25:34Are you sure
00:25:36you're not too close to it?
00:25:37I'm absolutely
00:25:38too close to it
00:25:39but I think
00:25:39that's why
00:25:40we've succeeded.
00:25:41Look,
00:25:41I can design something
00:25:42that'll work
00:25:43for both of us.
00:25:45Okay,
00:25:46I guess so.
00:25:47Oh, by the way,
00:25:48tell your department
00:25:49heads to RSVP
00:25:50for the team building
00:25:51event next week
00:25:51literally nobody
00:25:52from your side
00:25:53has responded.
00:25:54What, you mean
00:25:54people aren't excited
00:25:55to do trust falls
00:25:56with the accounting
00:25:57department?
00:25:57That's strange.
00:26:00I will rally the troops.
00:26:04Mom,
00:26:15you gotta sit still
00:26:17or else you're gonna
00:26:18have a crooked nose
00:26:19over here.
00:26:20Sorry,
00:26:20I'm just a bit nervous
00:26:21about moving here.
00:26:23I don't like being
00:26:24the new kid on the block.
00:26:25Okay, well,
00:26:26it's not a block,
00:26:27it's a village.
00:26:27And it's named
00:26:28after my favorite
00:26:29Rush song,
00:26:30so it's gotta be great.
00:26:31I thought Xanadu
00:26:32was an Olivia Newton
00:26:33John movie.
00:26:33It's also a Coleridge poem.
00:26:35Either way,
00:26:35you're in good company.
00:26:36You're all the company
00:26:37I need,
00:26:38Thomas.
00:26:39Hey,
00:26:40I know you wanna
00:26:41meet some new friends.
00:26:42You just gotta get out there.
00:26:43There's so many
00:26:45activities here.
00:26:46You just gotta pick one
00:26:46and see what happens.
00:26:48Well,
00:26:49I did see
00:26:49there's a quilting class
00:26:51on Thursdays.
00:26:52Perfect.
00:26:53Great.
00:26:54I want a full report
00:26:55on your first class.
00:26:56Fine.
00:26:58Are you done yet?
00:26:59Whoa, whoa,
00:27:00you are not supposed
00:27:01to rush a masterpiece,
00:27:02but yes,
00:27:02I'm done.
00:27:05You really are a talent.
00:27:08Well,
00:27:08you are obligated
00:27:09to say that.
00:27:10Hey,
00:27:11I know leaving the house
00:27:13has been a hard
00:27:14transition for you,
00:27:15and I want you to know
00:27:16I am so proud
00:27:17of how brave you've been.
00:27:20Enough about me.
00:27:21Tell me what's happening
00:27:22at work.
00:27:23Oh, work.
00:27:25You know,
00:27:25ups and downs,
00:27:26lefts and rights,
00:27:27that sort of thing.
00:27:29I also sort of met someone.
00:27:32Oh,
00:27:33interesting.
00:27:34Okay.
00:27:35Actually,
00:27:35I haven't officially
00:27:36met her.
00:27:38We just share a desk
00:27:40and write notes
00:27:41to each other.
00:27:42I actually don't even
00:27:43know who she is.
00:27:44Dating is so different
00:27:45these days.
00:27:46I wouldn't even call
00:27:46what we're doing
00:27:47dating per se.
00:27:48It's really more like
00:27:49we're pen pals.
00:27:51You know,
00:27:51it's nice.
00:27:52Oh, come on.
00:27:53Don't give me that look.
00:27:54Look,
00:27:54it could end
00:27:55in disaster.
00:27:55I think maybe
00:27:56you need to take
00:27:57some of your own advice
00:27:59and put yourself
00:27:59out there a bit.
00:28:01Off the page
00:28:03and into the real world.
00:28:06You're good.
00:28:07You're good, you.
00:28:11Maybe.
00:28:12Mr. Tuesday.
00:28:33Oh, Mr. Tuesday.
00:28:35I hope these help
00:28:40with your noise situation.
00:28:41Also, loving the sticky notes,
00:28:43but I think we have
00:28:44graduated through the
00:28:45Omega Tech app.
00:28:46I set up a secondary account
00:28:47for Mr. Tuesday.
00:28:48See you there?
00:28:49Oh, wow.
00:29:03Oh, wow.
00:29:03These headphones work wonders.
00:29:26Thank you so much.
00:29:27I feel seen
00:29:28and heard.
00:29:29You are.
00:29:32Aside from the fact
00:29:33that we've never seen each other
00:29:35or heard each other's voices.
00:29:37That's on you, Tuesday.
00:29:38You're the one
00:29:39that wanted to stay anonymous.
00:29:41True,
00:29:41but you also agreed.
00:29:43And to be clear,
00:29:44I didn't mean forever.
00:29:45Just until we decide
00:29:47to tell each other
00:29:47or until one of us
00:29:49figures it out.
00:29:50Mmm.
00:29:51Deal.
00:29:57Deal.
00:30:05Yes!
00:30:07Nice shot.
00:30:09Well,
00:30:10I had a lot of time
00:30:10to practice,
00:30:11so I need to buy you a watch.
00:30:13Touche.
00:30:14Sorry,
00:30:14it's just weird
00:30:15coming in on a Friday.
00:30:16I know.
00:30:16I'm sorry about that.
00:30:17That's the only day
00:30:18I could do.
00:30:18But I did bring something
00:30:19that I think
00:30:20is going to make up for it.
00:30:23Is this from Ooh La La?
00:30:24Yes!
00:30:25The day I tried
00:30:26when my life
00:30:27was altered forever.
00:30:28Yeah,
00:30:28they tend to do that.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:29All right,
00:30:30so, uh,
00:30:31shall we talk about the logo?
00:30:32No.
00:30:34Okay.
00:30:35That's kind of
00:30:35the whole point
00:30:36of this meeting.
00:30:37I don't want to talk
00:30:37about what the logo
00:30:38is going to be.
00:30:39I want to understand
00:30:39the why behind the change.
00:30:41Oh, the why
00:30:42is because Walter said so.
00:30:44No, no, no.
00:30:44Don't do that.
00:30:45Don't blame this on Walter.
00:30:46This was your idea
00:30:47to rebrand.
00:30:48So, what's the why?
00:30:51All right.
00:30:51Well, I'm about to give you
00:30:52all the why you can handle.
00:30:54Take a seat.
00:30:54Ooh, is it too late
00:30:55to retract my question?
00:30:56Yep.
00:30:57So, I conducted
00:30:58some surveys
00:30:58on your old logo.
00:30:59Yeah.
00:31:00And, in North America,
00:31:02the results were positive,
00:31:03but I was shocked
00:31:04at the results
00:31:05of the other five continents
00:31:06that I pulled.
00:31:07As you can see,
00:31:08favorability plummets
00:31:09quite drastically.
00:31:10If we want to appeal
00:31:11worldwide together,
00:31:12something's got to change.
00:31:14Okay, boss.
00:31:14What do we change?
00:31:15Well, that's what
00:31:16I want to figure out.
00:31:17Together.
00:31:18See, that's what I'm worried
00:31:19isn't going to be possible
00:31:20because clearly you and I
00:31:22are going at this
00:31:22from two very different angles here.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:24Well, even in my case,
00:31:25I mean,
00:31:26we've got to intersect somewhere.
00:31:28I'm just worried
00:31:29that that's going to be
00:31:29a head-on collision.
00:31:30There you go.
00:31:40It's for you.
00:31:41Nina?
00:31:50Hi.
00:31:51Welcome.
00:31:52Don't be shy.
00:31:53We love first-timers.
00:31:54Thanks for having me.
00:31:55I'm Judy.
00:31:56I'm Liv.
00:31:57I volunteer here
00:31:58every other week.
00:31:59All right, Judy.
00:31:59So what is your level
00:32:00of experience?
00:32:01Are you a beginner
00:32:02or should I have you
00:32:03teach the class?
00:32:04Somewhere in between.
00:32:06Well, do you want
00:32:06to help me set up?
00:32:07I'd love to.
00:32:08Great.

00:32:37then I have to say yes
00:32:38to them all.
00:32:39Understood.
00:32:41But it's your own fault
00:32:42for being charming
00:32:43and beautiful.
00:32:44Oh, ladies.
00:32:46That's what I'm always saying.

00:38:10Cool.
00:38:18You are so good
00:38:19at coloring, Lizzie.
00:38:20She loves these crayons, Liz.
00:38:23What a great gift!
00:38:24Right?
00:38:24It looks beautiful.
00:38:25You are quite the artiste.
00:38:26Can I see?
00:38:28Mm-hmm.
00:38:28Yeah?
00:38:28When I'm finished.
00:38:32Oh, yes, right,
00:38:32of course.
00:38:33I'm so sorry.
00:38:34How dare you
00:38:34disturb the master?
00:38:37Oh, Lizzie,
00:38:37have you seen
00:38:38blue-tiful?
00:38:40It's my favorite.
00:38:41Ooh, I love that color.
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:44And it was inspired
00:38:44by yin-min blue.
00:38:46Yin-min?
00:38:47The first new shade
00:38:48of blue to be discovered
00:38:49since the invention
00:38:50of cobalt
00:38:50200 years ago.
00:38:52Mm-hmm.
00:38:53I don't think
00:38:54she found that interesting.
00:38:55Sounds like someone's
00:38:55been binge-watching Jeopardy.
00:38:57No, I just learned it
00:38:58from a friend at work.
00:39:00Is it a guy?
00:39:02Okay.
00:39:03No, no, no.
00:39:04Out with it.
00:39:05It's not a big deal.
00:39:06It's just a friend
00:39:07that I exchange messages with
00:39:09and a lot of DMs,
00:39:10but it's just casual.
00:39:12Mm, yeah, casual,
00:39:13except from the way
00:39:14that you were turning red,
00:39:15I can tell that you
00:39:16wish it was serious.
00:39:17Yes.
00:39:17No, it's not.
00:39:19I mean, I like him.
00:39:21Mm-hmm.
00:39:22But I haven't met him yet.
00:39:25What?
00:39:26I know, but it's just...
00:39:28we're just getting
00:39:29to know each other,
00:39:30you know,
00:39:30in an organic way
00:39:32with no pressure,
00:39:33but the longer it goes on,
00:39:35the more I want to fit in.
00:39:36Well, then, yeah,
00:39:37I say go for it.
00:39:38Yeah, go for it.
00:39:40You think so?
00:39:41Well, yeah.
00:39:42I mean, worst case,
00:39:43we could just be friends.
00:39:44Or, you know,
00:39:45you could have
00:39:45an office romance
00:39:46that fails miserably
00:39:47and ultimately leads
00:39:48to a termination
00:39:49without severance, so...
00:39:50Mom!
00:39:52What?
00:39:52Thank you, Lizzie.
00:39:54At least someone's
00:39:54on my side.
00:39:55I am on your side.
00:39:57That looks so pretty, Lizzie.
00:39:59Thanks.
00:40:05I can hardly wait.
00:40:07Well,
00:40:08wait no longer.
00:40:13It's perfect.
00:40:14I told you
00:40:15he was a genius.
00:40:17Wow.
00:40:17Thank you so much.
00:40:18Yeah, it was my pleasure.
00:40:19I can hardly wait
00:40:19to show everyone.
00:40:23Ah.
00:40:24Thank you for doing that.
00:40:26Oh, yeah.
00:40:27When she saw the one
00:40:27you did of me,
00:40:29she couldn't stop
00:40:29talking about it,
00:40:30so I volunteered
00:40:32your services.
00:40:33Hey, how was your
00:40:34quilting class, by the way?
00:40:35Oh, it was wonderful.

00:40:39and the gal that teaches it
00:40:40is just lovely.
00:40:42Oh.
00:40:42I wish I could introduce you.

00:41:06It's been really fun.
00:41:07It's been...

00:41:09I feel like we can just
00:41:10message for hours,
00:41:11you know?
00:41:12And the longer
00:41:12I keep this going,
00:41:13the more I want to

00:45:22mm-hmm he finally asked me out about time that's wonderful i know i'm excited this one just feels different
00:45:31there must be something in the air because my son just asked out his colleague on a date as well
00:45:37good for him he's taking her to enclave this sunday how romantic
00:45:42my son could learn a thing from your tom if you ask me

00:46:03yeah i have
00:46:05he's one of the original employees there
00:46:07they don't say he really likes this woman i've told him to keep his head out of the clouds until

00:46:18well hello there
00:46:40well hey hi you look nice i just wanted to feel sharp for the pitch
00:46:47mission accomplished
00:46:49thank you

00:47:00was a compromise between me and my desk mates
00:47:04so you talk to them
00:47:05oh yeah we like uh exchange notes and text on the omega tech app
00:47:10i call her miss monday she called me mr tuesday
00:47:13okay well that is cute
00:47:15yeah it's pretty cute
00:47:17so it sounds like you guys are becoming good friends
00:47:19well
00:47:20between you and me
00:47:21yeah
00:47:22i think we might be becoming a bit more than friends
00:47:26interesting
00:47:27i asked her out we're finally going to meet you personally
00:47:29oh okay
00:47:32well i mean hey are you worried that you might not hit it off
00:47:36no no i can tell with this one
00:47:38okay
00:47:39okay
00:47:41can i ask you a personal question
00:47:43sure
00:47:44i won't tell hr
00:47:45that's funny
00:47:47what is it that you like about her
00:47:49i don't know she's she's special
00:47:51like in what way
00:47:52well just like the creativity of the passing notes you know um the playful mystique of it all
00:48:01she's not afraid to speak her mind but also can be vulnerable which i'm just not used to at all
00:48:08well maybe the reason she feels comfortable is because of the anonymity
00:48:11maybe
00:48:12maybe
00:48:13but that's why i asked her out
00:48:14you know you can only get to know someone so much through texts and notes and stuff
00:48:19i don't know but so far she's been amazing
00:48:23and you're about to see another reason why
00:48:27oh okay what do you mean
00:48:29let's just say i was pretty stumped about that logo redesign
00:48:32yeah
00:48:33then miss monday gave me a little advice that led to a brilliant stroke of inspiration
00:48:39and after i listened to classical baroque music all weekend i finally figured it out
00:48:43you know i also love classical baroque music especially bach
00:48:48really
00:48:49yeah
00:48:50am i the last person to the bach party anyway
00:48:57yeah
00:48:58she just knew exactly what i needed in that moment right i just felt so supported
00:49:03i don't know she's she's one of a kind
00:49:05well don't worry because i will not tell hr
00:49:08tell hr what
00:49:09oh there he is
00:49:11we're just joking around
00:49:13go back to your cubicle
00:49:15came out of nowhere you
00:49:18oh wow
00:49:19wow
00:49:20yeah
00:49:25uh we should probably get down to business
00:49:27yes yes we
00:49:28yeah should
00:49:29okay here come here
00:49:30okay
00:49:31so you said that the old logo didn't test well internationally
00:49:35drum roll please
00:49:36oh
00:49:37um
00:49:38brrrrrrrr
00:49:39very nice
00:49:40thank you
00:49:43the world
00:49:44connected by a brush grill
00:49:46well this is really good yeah yeah oh it's really really good I mean we still
00:49:54have to run market tests of course no but my first instinct is very positive
00:49:58good job thank you I really think that Walter is going to love this I sort of
00:50:08hate it mmm actually I really hate it uh what do you hate sir there's a little
00:50:18simple bland it doesn't break any ground well okay but the simplicity is its
00:50:24beauty in my opinion yeah it doesn't work for me if I may sir maybe we test it
00:50:30first and hold off on a final decision until we have our data yeah yeah no
00:50:35scrap it just just bring me something different okay with all due respect sir
00:50:39you know what we understand you're right Walter um we will go back to the
00:50:43drawing board and bring you something fresh you know what I should I should
00:50:49design the logo myself pardon well it's my vision so I should be the one to design
00:50:55it right
00:51:03well then I will let you get to that animal vegetable mineral it's like all over the
00:51:10place the brain can't shut off all coming into the brain animal brand or can
00:51:16we go over the sky maybe cloud maybe without you getting all this live
00:51:33it's like 16 minutes late okay no big deal no big deal
00:51:51nice chill Tom she will make it she will make it just chill
00:52:03live hey what are you doing I'm meeting someone you yeah yeah miss Monday
00:52:29what are the odds that we'd be meeting at the same place well pretty high I guess
00:52:36you both just want to give certificate to this place remember right right
00:52:40rose is a nice touch oh thank you so what time is your date 6 30 yeah she's a
00:52:48little late well at least you'll both have tardiness in common yeah let me guess
00:52:51you're a full hour early for your date no half an hour hmm I just I wanted to get
00:52:58here early and get a table by the fireplace you know ambience so important on a
00:53:05first date I would say that it's my love language hi would you in your date like a
00:53:10seat in our lounge area while your tables being set oh she's not my date I'm sorry
00:53:16you two looked so cute together I just figured she was the one you were waiting
00:53:20for yeah we're colleagues but we're not dating okay well would you still like that
00:53:25seat oh yes that'd be great great just this way okay would you want to join me
00:53:33while you're waiting for your date sure yeah I'll um I'll meet you there I'm just
00:53:38gonna go wash my hands real quick okay okay sorry okay so sorry to do this so last minute
00:53:53I had some things come up and I won't be able to make it tonight rain check
00:53:57absolutely hope everything's okay thanks for understanding okay you can do this just tell
00:54:14I'm sorry about your date oh no it's fine she was probably too good to be true anyway I don't know
00:54:37what I was thinking doing my dating luck um I I want to tell you something but I'm not sure how
00:54:49you're gonna take it oh please don't kick me while I'm down you've already done enough with that
00:54:54Walter meeting are you being serious yeah you were there you saw what happened yeah I I was there
00:55:04that's why I'm confused I mean what do you think that I did exactly well it's what you didn't do
00:55:09I mean you let Walter trash all my ideas I kind of need you to have my back in there no I did have
00:55:14your back I told him that I loved your design yeah but then you caved the minute he pushed back
00:55:19because I know him he made up his mind what else was I supposed to do say no you know that I can't say
00:55:27no to Walter why not he pays you for your advice not to just agree with everything he says
00:55:32that's unfair okay maybe you're right I don't know all your interactions with Walter but I
00:55:38I have seen that your desire to follow all the rules and do everything right has sort of
00:55:43led you to be a yes woman
00:55:46it's not it's not a bad thing I mean look how far you've gotten you you've got a lot of amazing
00:55:53qualities live you do I mean you're smart you're charming you're obviously beautiful
00:56:00I just think that you could stand and stick to your gut a little bit more you know it's just
00:56:07my two cents I mean I don't know I maybe I'm talking crazy I'm not don't listen to me
00:56:12look I'm um I'm gonna get out of here your date be here any minute
00:56:20I really hope it goes better than mine hey Tom
00:56:26um I'm sure that Miss Monday will make it up to you yeah hope so
00:56:37hey there oh hi what are you doing here I just I forgot some of my things what are you two doing up
00:57:05we're adults curfews don't apply to us fair enough plus we heard the click clack of heels that definitely didn't belong to any of us
00:57:12we had to investigate so so what how is the big date Miss Monday wait how did how did you know oh honey please we may be old but we're not blind the second I mentioned Tom's name you lit up like Aurora Borealis
00:57:33wait does he know you didn't tell him tonight no I was going to but things didn't quite go as planned
00:57:42we guessed that why if it went well you wouldn't be at an old folks home grabbing quilting supplies
00:57:49that's a good point I need to fix this
00:57:53I realized tonight how much I like your son Judy unfortunately I don't think that he likes me very
00:58:00much right now but I need to try to make it up to him before he figures it out
00:58:04just promise me that you won't tell him until I've had a chance to tell him myself
00:58:07swear on the square
00:58:10thanks so much for doing this
00:58:22when they saw the one you did for Lois everybody wanted one
00:58:26yeah I know I can feel it in my carpal tunnel I'm just kidding it was all worth
00:58:31oof too close for these eyes I need some perspective
00:58:36pretty good
00:58:38oh it's much better from back here
00:58:43oh yeah
00:58:44so can I ask about Miss Monday
00:58:46she just reached out to me to see if I wanted a do-over on our date
00:58:49that's great news
00:58:51I've got this gift certificate for an Italian private cooking class that I want to take her to
00:58:55but she can't go for like a month
00:58:57can't you think of anyone else you might want to make pasta with

01:08:33and I have to say
01:08:34that if the corporate world
01:08:36doesn't work out
01:08:36I think you have a bright career
01:08:38as a carnival sketch artist
01:08:40well that's really comforting
01:08:41knowing you can see me as a carny
01:08:43no no
01:08:44I just mean that
01:08:45you're making people really happy
01:08:47it's an incredible skill to have
01:08:49well thank you
01:08:50I appreciate that
01:08:52I will admit
01:08:53the corporate life has
01:08:54made me forget that recently
01:08:56forget your talent
01:08:57well yeah
01:08:59you know
01:08:59I've been so wrapped up
01:09:00in the concept of
01:09:02helping creatives
01:09:04that I kind of forgot
01:09:04to be creative myself
01:09:05you know
01:09:06I don't know
01:09:07about the art world
01:09:09but I do believe
01:09:09that in order to be fulfilled
01:09:11you have to be challenged
01:09:12and
01:09:13I don't know
01:09:14maybe it's just
01:09:14time you found yourself
01:09:15another challenge
01:09:16how did you do that
01:09:21what
01:09:22well you just
01:09:24took every confusing emotion
01:09:26swirling around in my head
01:09:27and you
01:09:28distilled it down
01:09:30into a cohesive thought
01:09:31well maybe I
01:09:32understand you
01:09:33more than you thought
01:09:34are you saying
01:09:35that you are more than
01:09:36than just what's on the surface
01:09:38and
01:09:39that I was wrong
01:09:40to put you in a box with Walter
01:09:41well um
01:09:43your words
01:09:44but yeah
01:09:45maybe
01:09:45well I'm beginning to see
01:09:48the error of my ways
01:09:50is that so
01:09:51I know we've butted heads
01:09:55a bit recently
01:09:56but it's only because
01:09:57I
01:09:58respect you
01:09:59I can see how talented
01:10:02you are
01:10:03and I don't know
01:10:04if it's just
01:10:05you know
01:10:06us spending more time together
01:10:08but
01:10:08I'm beginning to realize
01:10:11how much you have in common
01:10:12with Miss Monday
01:10:12what are you trying to say
01:10:15I don't know
01:10:17maybe I have a type
01:10:20oh
01:10:23hey gang
01:10:25you know

01:10:47can't believe he's late
01:10:59I know
01:10:59that's usually my thing
01:11:00admitting it is the first step
01:11:02oh I don't have a good feeling about this
01:11:05I know
01:11:07look he's gonna present his idea
01:11:09we'll pretend that we like it
01:11:10and then we'll let the market research
01:11:11be the bad guy
01:11:12next thing you know
01:11:13it's back to your design
01:11:14hey whatever happens
01:11:17I want you to know
01:11:18this was a good idea
01:11:21and it was yours
01:11:22you're not just the person
01:11:24that helps someone else
01:11:24with their vision
01:11:25you have the vision too
01:11:27and I just want you to know
01:11:28sorry I'm late
01:11:32I had to get my spinach on
01:11:33can't have low K levels
01:11:35on a day like today
01:11:36I hope you two like time travel
01:11:41because you're about to see
01:11:43into the future
01:11:44oh
01:11:45oh okay
01:11:46I present to you my vision
01:11:48for the next evolution
01:11:49of artist access
01:11:50what do you think
01:11:55wow
01:11:57very
01:11:58bold choice sir
01:12:01yeah I knew you'd like it
01:12:02how about you Tom
01:12:03it's okay
01:12:04lay it on me
01:12:05I could take it
01:12:06yeah well I
01:12:08I'm very surprised here
01:12:10Walter
01:12:11I mean this is
01:12:12I mean this has got to be
01:12:14the worst logo I've ever seen
01:12:16he's clearly joking Walter
01:12:19no I don't think he is
01:12:21it's okay Tom
01:12:22I mean I
01:12:23I told you not to hold back
01:12:24but if you can be a little more
01:12:25specific
01:12:26it looks like you took
01:12:28every single keyword
01:12:30associated with your vision
01:12:31and just dumped it into an AI
01:12:32and let it do all the work
01:12:33well that's exactly what I did
01:12:35well that makes so much sense
01:12:36and so does saving time
01:12:38and money on something
01:12:38a computer can easily do
01:12:40I can't believe that you're
01:12:41actually considering
01:12:42okay okay okay
01:12:43so look
01:12:44we can all agree that art
01:12:45is subjective
01:12:46so I say we take both options
01:12:49to the focus groups
01:12:50and let the masses decide
01:12:52no I did not create
01:12:53one of the top players
01:12:55in social media
01:12:56by letting the masses
01:12:57decide
01:12:58we go with my design
01:13:00end of story
01:13:01well here's another storybook
01:13:04ending for you
01:13:04Walter
01:13:04I quit
01:13:06sorry it's come to that
01:13:09we'll have Chad
01:13:10escort you out of the building
01:13:10no need
01:13:11I'm already on my way
01:13:12Tom come on wait
01:13:13Liv
01:13:13let him go
01:13:15well unless you want to
01:13:17clean out your desk as well
01:13:18sir with all due respect
01:13:30I think that you're making
01:13:31the mistake
01:13:32Tom made the mistake
01:13:33he's the one who quit
01:13:34I mean I probably would have
01:13:35fired him on attitude
01:13:36but honestly this is ideal
01:13:38now we don't have to pay him
01:13:39any seconds
01:13:39okay but how is this
01:13:40going to look to the board
01:13:41I mean we just acquired them
01:13:42and now their head designer leaves
01:13:43it's bad press not to mention
01:13:44it could affect our stock prices
01:13:46well if we take a dip
01:13:46we take a dip
01:13:47but we'll bounce back
01:13:48besides this is the perfect
01:13:49opportunity for me
01:13:50to execute the pivot
01:13:51the pivot
01:13:53what pivot
01:13:55the one I've been so excited
01:13:57to share with you
01:13:58you see I was sitting
01:13:59at this desk
01:13:59pulling my hair out
01:14:01trying to figure out
01:14:02the new logo
01:14:02I had nothing
01:14:03until I just
01:14:04swallowed my pride
01:14:06and let AI
01:14:07do the heavy lifting
01:14:08and in five minutes
01:14:10I had 50 designs
01:14:11to choose from
01:14:12Liv
01:14:12well if the one
01:14:14you showed me
01:14:14was the best one
01:14:15that I think
01:14:16it proves why
01:14:16we need designers
01:14:17no what it proved
01:14:18to me is much
01:14:19more valuable
01:14:20see we don't need
01:14:21to keep Artist Access
01:14:22going at all
01:14:23I mean
01:14:23all I really needed
01:14:25was the coding
01:14:25to its interface
01:14:26oh hold on
01:14:27Artist Access
01:14:27is the fastest growing
01:14:28social platform
01:14:29in the US
01:14:30and our stock
01:14:31has risen 10%
01:14:32since the acquisition
01:14:33yeah yeah
01:14:34sure sure sure
01:14:34and it could have
01:14:35a few more years ahead
01:14:36but artificial intelligence
01:14:38is the future
01:14:40of art and design
01:14:41respectfully sir
01:14:42I do not agree
01:14:43and more importantly
01:14:45I am not on board
01:14:46this is not the vision
01:14:48that we had going
01:14:48into this acquisition
01:14:49Liv
01:14:49please
01:14:50I've already made up
01:14:52my mind
01:14:52okay
01:14:53I am going to clone
01:14:54Artist Access
01:14:55and use it to launch
01:14:57a similar
01:14:58but not identical
01:14:58social media platform
01:15:00moving forward
01:15:01I'll be able to create
01:15:02anything myself
01:15:03replacing our need
01:15:04for designers
01:15:05I mean it's going to be
01:15:05a huge cost savings
01:15:07for us
01:15:07I know
01:15:09it's a big swing
01:15:11but I'm going to need
01:15:12a lot of help
01:15:13implementing it
01:15:14and if you
01:15:15are ready to accept
01:15:17a promotion
01:15:17to vice president
01:15:18of strategy
01:15:19well you're going to
01:15:19be right by my side
01:15:20all the way
01:15:21so what do you say
01:15:23are you with me
01:15:24Liv?
01:15:27am I doing this right?
01:15:45you're really getting
01:15:46the hang of this
01:15:47well you know
01:15:49I am unemployed now
01:15:51so
01:15:51figure I might as well
01:15:53pick up another hobby
01:15:54I've been worried
01:15:55about you
01:15:56are you sure
01:15:57you made the right choice?
01:15:58no
01:15:58but
01:15:59considering the circumstances
01:16:01he was the only one to make
01:16:02you've always been good
01:16:04at following your heart
01:16:06mostly I guess
01:16:08that's quite the caveat
01:16:11well only because
01:16:12you've been ignoring
01:16:13the only two women
01:16:14I've seen you get excited
01:16:15about in the last
01:16:16decade
01:16:17number one
01:16:18I'm not ignoring
01:16:20Miss Monday
01:16:20I'm giving her space
01:16:22and number two
01:16:22who said that
01:16:23I was excited about Liv?
01:16:24I honestly don't think
01:16:26I could date someone
01:16:27who's such a pushover
01:16:28well that's a bit
01:16:29judgmental
01:16:30don't you think?
01:16:31you should have seen
01:16:32the way she caved
01:16:33to Walter's
01:16:33every whim
01:16:34well I hate to break
01:16:36it to you son
01:16:37but it's a bit more
01:16:38complicated than that
01:16:39you've been lucky enough
01:16:42to be your own boss
01:16:43for most of your career
01:16:44but most people
01:16:45have someone
01:16:45to answer to
01:16:46you might think about
01:16:48cutting Liv
01:16:49some slack
01:16:50I thought you were
01:16:54worried about me
01:16:55I am
01:16:56but you have to see it
01:16:58from her perspective
01:16:59take a look at this quilt
01:17:02the color
01:17:04the beauty
01:17:05the patchwork
01:17:06that's the part
01:17:08that gets all the praise
01:17:10all the glory
01:17:12that's the world
01:17:12you've been living in
01:17:14and then there's
01:17:15the frame
01:17:16it's rigid
01:17:17hard
01:17:18square
01:17:19not at all built
01:17:20for beauty
01:17:21but without its support
01:17:23there's no way
01:17:24to create the beauty
01:17:26that happens
01:17:26within its parameters
01:17:27this is Liv's world
01:17:31she is the square
01:17:32I think if you take
01:17:35a second look
01:17:36you might
01:17:37understand where
01:17:38she's coming from
01:17:39pass me that yarn
01:17:44it's time to tie
01:17:45this all together
01:17:46I don't know
01:17:57maybe I should just
01:17:57cancel the date
01:17:58rip the band-aid off
01:17:59don't you want a chance
01:18:00to talk to him in person?
01:18:03desperately
01:18:03what other choice
01:18:05do you have?
01:18:06I mean he's not
01:18:07answering any emails
01:18:08or calls from Liv
01:18:09because he is very
01:18:10upset at Liv
01:18:11and rightfully so
01:18:12even though Liv
01:18:12has been trying
01:18:13very hard
01:18:13to make it right
01:18:13with him
01:18:14exactly
01:18:15it seems like
01:18:16the only way
01:18:17to get to him
01:18:17is through
01:18:18Ms. Monday
01:18:19yeah
01:18:20hmm
01:18:24hmm
01:18:26hmm
01:18:28hmm
01:18:32hmm
01:18:34hmm
01:18:36hmm
01:18:38hmm
01:18:57hmm
01:19:01hmm
01:19:05It's Monday?
01:19:22Is that really you?
01:19:27Do you want it to be?
01:19:30Liv.
01:19:32I don't understand.
01:19:35You were Miss Monday.
01:19:40This whole time it was you?
01:19:43Are you okay with this?
01:19:46Well, I mean, I don't know how to feel.
01:19:50I'm relieved.
01:19:52Wait, how long have you known?
01:19:53Not long.
01:19:54It was something that your mom said right before we were supposed to meet the first time.
01:19:59Well, why didn't you tell me?
01:20:01Why didn't she tell me?
01:20:02I asked her not to.
01:20:04And you were so disappointed with me for not having your back with Walter.
01:20:08I just, I wanted a chance to make it up to you before you found out the truth.
01:20:13Wow, I feel like Bruce Willis in the sixth sense.
01:20:15How did I not figure it out?
01:20:16Look, I know that this just started off as fun.
01:20:20But I wanted to know that it became serious for me.
01:20:23I started to have real feelings for Mr. Tuesday.
01:20:26And by the time I realized what that meant and who you were, I didn't know what to do.
01:20:30And I know that you don't believe that I had the same qualities that you fell for with Miss Monday.
01:20:35But I promise that was real.
01:20:38That was me.
01:20:40And I'll always be grateful to you for what you've shown me.
01:20:45What have I shown you?
01:20:47You showed me that when I'm true to myself, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
01:20:52And no matter what you think about me,
01:20:56I'll always be happy that you brought me to myself, my true self.
01:21:01Stop.
01:21:03I was wrong.
01:21:05I am sorry that I judged you before I really got to know you.
01:21:09I shouldn't have done that.
01:21:11Now, I said that you weren't supportive,
01:21:14but in actuality, I mean, I was so caught up in my own ego,
01:21:18I couldn't see everything you were doing to try and help me succeed.
01:21:23The past few weeks, I've been torn between two amazing women,
01:21:27but I don't have to choose.
01:21:30I'm so glad it was you standing there
01:21:35instead of some other person with adorable handwriting.
01:21:41Do you really mean that?
01:21:43I swear I'm the square.
01:21:45You've been talking to Mama Judy, I see.
01:21:49Liv,
01:21:50you
01:21:51are the frame to my quilt.
01:21:54I just wish they figured it out sooner.
01:21:58But you know me, I've got a problem with being on time.
01:22:04Mm-hmm.
01:22:04Well, better late than never.
01:22:23Shall we sit?
01:22:24Yes, but only if you have your gift certificate,
01:22:26because we both just quit our jobs.
01:22:28Oh, no, you didn't.
01:22:29I couldn't stand by what Walter wanted to do with the company.
01:22:32I had to leave.
01:22:34But what are you going to do now?
01:22:36Well, what do you say to working on a collaboration of our own?
01:22:41Oh, yeah?
01:22:41What kind of collaboration?
01:22:43A boutique design firm.
01:22:44I would handle the clients and the infrastructure
01:22:47and leave the creative work to my genius,
01:22:50very tall, very handsome, in-house artiste.
01:22:56Oh.
01:22:57You know, actually,
01:22:59I've already got the perfect name for it.
01:23:01Of course you do.
01:23:02What is it?
01:23:03Patchwork.
01:23:05I love it.
01:23:07It's perfect.
01:23:07I'll start the paperwork on Monday.
01:23:09Mm.
01:23:11Can I wait till Tuesday?
01:23:12Looking through the sky
01:23:14Feeling for tonight
01:23:16I love it.
01:23:17Be alone
01:23:18Looking through your eyes
01:23:23Feeling for tonight
01:23:25I love it.
01:23:27Be alone
01:23:28I love it.
01:23:46Be alone
01:23:46Be alone
01:23:48I love it.
01:23:51Be alone
