1
00:00:47,133 --> 00:00:53,133
Rip-Fixes-Sync
by VaVooM
2
00:01:14,134 --> 00:01:17,936
Erica? I have a grande
non-fat mocha for Erica?
3
00:01:22,009 --> 00:01:24,442
It's actually Eric.
4
00:01:24,478 --> 00:01:27,312
Sorry. Have a great day!
5
00:01:30,217 --> 00:01:32,195
Do you think that they know
that we do that on purpose?
6
00:01:32,219 --> 00:01:33,936
You do that on purpose.
7
00:01:33,937 --> 00:01:36,215
And if you weren't my best friend,
I would've fired you by now.
8
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,025
Please, you love it, Billy.
Er, Beckham... Becca!
9
00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:42,627
- Very funny.
- OK, I'm gonna be late.
10
00:01:42,663 --> 00:01:44,441
- I wish you were coming with me.
- Me too.
11
00:01:44,499 --> 00:01:47,260
This place isn't gonna run itself.
You can tell me all about it after.
12
00:01:47,945 --> 00:01:49,501
Here comes the nerves.
13
00:01:49,536 --> 00:01:53,071
- You'll be great. Good luck!
- Thank you!
14
00:02:21,134 --> 00:02:23,535
Cassie, hi.
15
00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:25,570
Piper, hi! I'm so glad
that you're here.
16
00:02:25,606 --> 00:02:27,407
What kind of publicist would I be
17
00:02:27,408 --> 00:02:30,013
if I wasn't at my client's
very first book signing?
18
00:02:30,243 --> 00:02:32,243
- Are you excited?
- Yeah...
19
00:02:32,279 --> 00:02:34,779
Excited, nervous,
tempted to run and hide.
20
00:02:34,815 --> 00:02:38,283
Don't be silly. Your book is amazing!
I read it twice already.
21
00:02:38,318 --> 00:02:40,118
Not even my mom
has read it twice.
22
00:02:40,153 --> 00:02:41,837
It's so relatable.
23
00:02:41,838 --> 00:02:45,134
You put into writing everything my
girlfriends and I secretly talk about.
24
00:02:45,158 --> 00:02:47,525
Well, it is based
on my real break-up.
25
00:02:47,561 --> 00:02:50,895
I know! It's like you got
your heart broken just for us.
26
00:02:50,931 --> 00:02:52,697
And all the things
you did to move on.
27
00:02:52,733 --> 00:02:55,567
I mean, who goes skydiving
to get over a heartbreak?
28
00:02:55,602 --> 00:02:58,103
Just doing my part.
29
00:02:58,138 --> 00:03:02,207
It's going to be really great to
have a familiar face here today.
30
00:03:02,242 --> 00:03:04,876
Let's get inside.
This "familiar face" is freezing.
31
00:03:08,649 --> 00:03:11,916
- So are you ready?
- Define ready.
32
00:03:11,952 --> 00:03:15,253
Just relax and be yourself.
This will be fun.
33
00:03:15,288 --> 00:03:18,090
OK, but you're sure that I won't
have to read or answer questions?
34
00:03:18,125 --> 00:03:19,235
Because I really hate speaking
in public.
35
00:03:19,259 --> 00:03:21,960
Which is why you'll only be
signing copies of your book...
36
00:03:21,995 --> 00:03:23,895
- ... until Elliot turns up.
- Elliot?
37
00:03:23,930 --> 00:03:26,231
Somersby.
38
00:03:26,266 --> 00:03:28,400
Of the "Dread Monarch Saga".
39
00:03:28,435 --> 00:03:32,470
- Right, the dragon guy.
- The best-selling dragon guy.
40
00:03:32,506 --> 00:03:34,406
I used the fact
that he's one of our authors
41
00:03:34,441 --> 00:03:36,474
to get you displayed
next to him.
42
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:39,110
I think the dragon ate
part of my display.
43
00:03:39,146 --> 00:03:41,446
Well, if you're not happy
with it, we can move it.
44
00:03:41,481 --> 00:03:42,714
Oh no! Are you kidding me?
45
00:03:42,715 --> 00:03:46,017
My book is on display in a real
bookstore. I think this is fantastic!
46
00:03:46,784 --> 00:03:47,986
Well, it's just the beginning.
47
00:03:48,021 --> 00:03:50,922
Come on, let's get you set up.
48
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,967
- Hi! Ms. Winslett?
- Hi!
49
00:04:03,003 --> 00:04:05,837
I really loved your book.
50
00:04:08,975 --> 00:04:12,110
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
51
00:04:12,145 --> 00:04:16,014
- Mom, hi! You came!
- I wouldn't miss it.
52
00:04:16,049 --> 00:04:17,333
You're not missing much.
53
00:04:17,334 --> 00:04:20,985
This takes me back
to my very first book signing.
54
00:04:21,021 --> 00:04:23,154
I'm pretty sure you never had
a crowd this small.
55
00:04:23,190 --> 00:04:27,025
It was a different time.
People read more books then.
56
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:29,194
It's madness out there.
57
00:04:29,229 --> 00:04:31,062
Mom, this is my publicist Piper.
58
00:04:31,098 --> 00:04:33,131
Hold up.
59
00:04:33,166 --> 00:04:36,301
Your mother is Jeannine Jordan?!
60
00:04:36,336 --> 00:04:39,070
But your name is...
My maiden name is Jordan.
61
00:04:41,041 --> 00:04:45,510
I have read all your novels!
Sorry.
62
00:04:45,545 --> 00:04:47,146
May I get a picture?
63
00:04:47,147 --> 00:04:51,049
Only if you don't mind taking a picture
of me with my very talented daughter.
64
00:04:51,084 --> 00:04:55,053
Of course.
65
00:04:55,088 --> 00:04:59,691
This will look great
on my website.
66
00:04:59,726 --> 00:05:01,170
That would be
great press for Cassie.
67
00:05:01,194 --> 00:05:04,454
You never told me your mother
was an award-winning author.
68
00:05:04,489 --> 00:05:06,064
When people hear about this...
69
00:05:06,099 --> 00:05:08,700
I don't really want
to throw that around.
70
00:05:08,735 --> 00:05:11,236
My daughter wants to launch
her career all on her own.
71
00:05:11,271 --> 00:05:13,772
Which I fully support.
72
00:05:13,807 --> 00:05:15,073
Don't worry, honey.
73
00:05:15,074 --> 00:05:17,001
I'll just show the picture
to my friends at hot yoga.
74
00:05:17,025 --> 00:05:18,510
Make sure they buy the book.
75
00:05:20,714 --> 00:05:23,248
That must be Elliot.
Shall we head over.
76
00:05:23,283 --> 00:05:25,350
What, and leave all my fans?
77
00:05:25,385 --> 00:05:27,852
Come on.
78
00:05:31,124 --> 00:05:34,125
Who's Elliot?
79
00:05:34,161 --> 00:05:36,761
- The Dragon writer.
- Welcome, everyone.
80
00:05:39,132 --> 00:05:43,601
We all love his amazing,
"Dread Monarch Saga",
81
00:05:43,637 --> 00:05:46,938
so it is both a pleasure
and an honour
82
00:05:46,973 --> 00:05:50,475
to welcome the one,
the only Elliot Somersby.
83
00:05:50,810 --> 00:05:52,644
Thank you.
84
00:05:53,468 --> 00:05:54,979
Is it always like this?
85
00:05:55,015 --> 00:05:57,482
Pretty much.
I'll introduce you later.
86
00:05:57,517 --> 00:06:01,753
Thanks very much and thank you
for buying my little dragon saga.
87
00:06:04,457 --> 00:06:06,825
- Is that for me?
- Yeah.
88
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:10,428
Thanks, but I'm OK
with my bottle of water.
89
00:06:10,463 --> 00:06:12,463
He's really laying
90
00:06:12,499 --> 00:06:14,799
the "aw shucks" routine on
pretty thick, don't you think?
91
00:06:14,835 --> 00:06:17,552
Don't know if he can write, but
he can certainly work a crowd.
92
00:06:17,587 --> 00:06:21,906
Today, I would like to read a passage
from my second chronicling
93
00:06:21,942 --> 00:06:26,477
of my "Dread Monarch Saga",
"Dragon's Lair".
94
00:06:28,215 --> 00:06:31,115
"The wounded dragon
flew through the air
95
00:06:31,151 --> 00:06:33,852
"for what might be
one last time.
96
00:06:33,887 --> 00:06:35,820
"Klar-Al stroked its brow,
97
00:06:35,856 --> 00:06:38,356
"clung to its neck,
and whispered,
98
00:06:38,391 --> 00:06:40,992
You are my Eternal Warrior".
99
00:06:41,027 --> 00:06:42,111
"Klar-Al"?
100
00:06:42,112 --> 00:06:45,697
Princess of the Nine Kingdoms
and heir to the Crystal Scepter.
101
00:06:45,732 --> 00:06:47,799
- The what?
- You haven't read them?!
102
00:06:47,834 --> 00:06:49,934
Sorry.
103
00:06:49,970 --> 00:06:51,769
"And so I shall forever be".
104
00:06:51,805 --> 00:06:54,105
"the winged creature replied
with a great sigh,
105
00:06:54,140 --> 00:06:56,541
"its valiant spirit
ascending through the veil
106
00:06:56,576 --> 00:06:58,977
"from which there is no return,
107
00:06:59,012 --> 00:07:03,114
"not even for a dragon
as noble as he".
108
00:07:04,638 --> 00:07:07,151
Thank you all so much.
109
00:07:08,465 --> 00:07:11,263
You know, Mom, it's really sweet
of Piper to introduce us,
110
00:07:11,298 --> 00:07:13,456
but we should just go.
This line's gonna take forever.
111
00:07:13,491 --> 00:07:15,059
The writing isn't bad.
112
00:07:15,095 --> 00:07:17,335
It's a book about dragons,
how hard can it be to write?
113
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,467
We should probably leave.
114
00:07:22,502 --> 00:07:25,036
Elliot's just gonna
take a short break.
115
00:07:25,071 --> 00:07:27,672
- We really should go.
- Don't be silly.
116
00:07:27,707 --> 00:07:31,476
- I thought I recognized you!
- You recognized me?
117
00:07:31,511 --> 00:07:34,746
- Elliot, this is...
- I am such a huge fan.
118
00:07:34,781 --> 00:07:36,495
I don't know if you remember me.
119
00:07:36,496 --> 00:07:39,317
I was in your Freshman Lit
class in Princeton.
120
00:07:39,352 --> 00:07:42,553
Between your novels and your
classes, you single-handedly
121
00:07:42,589 --> 00:07:45,775
inspired me to change my major
from business to creative writing.
122
00:07:45,810 --> 00:07:47,905
I'm really sorry about that.
123
00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:51,729
I can't believe the Jeannine
Jordan is at one my events.
124
00:07:51,765 --> 00:07:54,065
Well, no, actually,
I'm here for my daughter,
125
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:57,035
but I am glad I got
to see your reading.
126
00:07:57,070 --> 00:08:00,371
- I'm the daughter. Hi.
- Hi. I'm the dragon writer.
127
00:08:00,407 --> 00:08:02,674
- You heard me?
- It's OK.
128
00:08:02,709 --> 00:08:04,575
You know, writing dragons is easy;
129
00:08:04,611 --> 00:08:06,255
it's the elves that give me
the most trouble.
130
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:08,079
I'm so sorry, Mr. Somersby.
131
00:08:08,114 --> 00:08:10,615
Please call me Elliot.
All my critics do.
132
00:08:10,650 --> 00:08:12,684
I shouldn't have said anything.
133
00:08:12,719 --> 00:08:14,686
You know, I know nothing
about dragons,
134
00:08:14,721 --> 00:08:16,854
and I'm sure writing about them
is very challenging.
135
00:08:16,890 --> 00:08:19,357
It's OK. I appreciate
your honesty.
136
00:08:19,392 --> 00:08:21,718
And thank you so much
for bringing your mom.
137
00:08:21,719 --> 00:08:23,761
Can I sign a copy
for both of you?
138
00:08:23,797 --> 00:08:27,465
She's actually here
for my book signing.
139
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:29,634
Elliot Somersby,
this is Cassie Winslett.
140
00:08:29,669 --> 00:08:33,104
She's one of MacDonner Press'
new authors.
141
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:36,808
So embarrassed.
142
00:08:36,843 --> 00:08:40,044
Cassie, it's nice to meet you.
143
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,380
Welcome to
the MacDonner Press family.
144
00:08:42,415 --> 00:08:45,883
I mean, I could sign a copy
of my book for you if you want.
145
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:47,903
I deserve that.
146
00:08:47,904 --> 00:08:51,389
Sorry to interrupt, but
this crowd is a little restless.
147
00:08:51,424 --> 00:08:55,326
Great. Such a pleasure
to see you again.
148
00:08:55,362 --> 00:08:58,296
- Well, thank you.
- Cassie, I'm gonna read this.
149
00:08:58,331 --> 00:09:00,398
- You don't have to.
- No, I want to.
150
00:09:00,433 --> 00:09:02,767
It was nice meeting you,
new writer Cassie.
151
00:09:04,771 --> 00:09:07,305
Isn't he great?
He's a major talent.
152
00:09:07,340 --> 00:09:10,908
Sorry, I have to take this.
153
00:09:10,944 --> 00:09:14,679
How about I treat you
to a celebratory latte?
154
00:09:24,391 --> 00:09:29,293
OK, all I have heard about is this
Elliot guy and his book signing.
155
00:09:29,329 --> 00:09:31,863
I want to hear about my
brilliant best friend's.
156
00:09:31,898 --> 00:09:34,999
- Tell me, how did it go?
- It didn't really "go".
157
00:09:35,035 --> 00:09:37,635
- Couldn't have been that bad.
- Let's just say I've signed
158
00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:40,505
more coffee cups here
in an hour than books there.
159
00:09:40,540 --> 00:09:42,580
OK, I think you're being modest.
Is she, Jeannine?
160
00:09:44,144 --> 00:09:46,644
He even won her over.
She's the toughest critic I know.
161
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,546
Do you remember
my first grade book report?
162
00:09:48,581 --> 00:09:50,164
I remember.
163
00:09:50,165 --> 00:09:52,194
She made me do four revisions,
and it was a 30 page book...
164
00:09:52,218 --> 00:09:54,152
30 page book on butterflies!
165
00:09:54,153 --> 00:09:57,522
And to cheer you up, I made you
a vanilla bean ice cream float...
166
00:09:57,557 --> 00:09:59,242
With the cookie crumbles?
167
00:09:59,243 --> 00:10:03,456
- I think that was the start of my career.
- Writing is rewriting.
168
00:10:03,491 --> 00:10:06,863
My Princeton students pay a lot
for that advice.
169
00:10:07,434 --> 00:10:11,202
What? You think I can't read
and hear you at the same time?
170
00:10:11,237 --> 00:10:15,291
And to answer your question, Cassie
had a small but supportive crowd.
171
00:10:15,326 --> 00:10:17,827
And by that, she means her
and my publicist, Piper.
172
00:10:17,862 --> 00:10:22,580
You haven't done any publicity,
you refuse to throw my name around.
173
00:10:22,615 --> 00:10:24,482
Because I don't want
everyone to know me
174
00:10:24,517 --> 00:10:26,984
as "PEN/Faulkner Award-winning
Jeannine Jordan's daughter".
175
00:10:27,020 --> 00:10:28,886
I want to make my own name
for myself.
176
00:10:28,922 --> 00:10:32,325
And I respect that, but if no one
knows that you've written a book,
177
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,592
you're not gonna be known
as anything.
178
00:10:34,627 --> 00:10:37,161
Now, take Elliot here...
179
00:10:37,197 --> 00:10:39,030
"Elliot".
They're on a first-name basis.
180
00:10:39,065 --> 00:10:41,999
His performance made me
interested in reading a story
181
00:10:42,035 --> 00:10:45,403
about a talking dragon.
And I'm enjoying it.
182
00:10:45,438 --> 00:10:47,205
So why should that matter to me?
183
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,340
Because I would never have
picked up a fantasy book
184
00:10:49,375 --> 00:10:51,342
and now I can't put it down.
185
00:10:51,377 --> 00:10:53,911
Sweetheart, you could have
the same effect on people.
186
00:10:53,947 --> 00:10:57,135
It's Piper, I need to take this.
Just excuse me.
187
00:10:58,147 --> 00:10:59,333
Piper, hey.
188
00:10:59,368 --> 00:11:01,619
Is there really a talking dragon?
189
00:11:01,654 --> 00:11:04,122
Well, technically, it's telepathic.
190
00:11:04,157 --> 00:11:06,524
- Gotcha.
- OK, I'll see you then.
191
00:11:09,562 --> 00:11:13,564
So my book editor wants to meet me;
what do you think that means?
192
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,800
Well, if it's lunch,
that's a good thing.
193
00:11:15,835 --> 00:11:17,935
What if it's at their office?
194
00:11:21,508 --> 00:11:23,908
- Who wants more lattes?
- With cookie crumbles?
195
00:11:23,943 --> 00:11:26,110
- Coming up.
- OK.
196
00:11:48,268 --> 00:11:50,268
Hi, I'm Cassandra Winslett.
197
00:11:50,303 --> 00:11:52,236
I have a 10 o'clock
appointment with Gwendolyn.
198
00:11:52,272 --> 00:11:54,505
Go right in,
they're expecting you.
199
00:11:54,541 --> 00:11:56,541
"They"?
200
00:11:58,478 --> 00:12:01,012
Cassie!
Thank you for coming in.
201
00:12:01,047 --> 00:12:02,747
You know Piper and Julian...
202
00:12:02,748 --> 00:12:05,154
We didn't officially meet,
but nice to see you again.
203
00:12:05,189 --> 00:12:07,985
- Here he is, Elliot.
- Hello again.
204
00:12:08,021 --> 00:12:10,021
- Hi.
- Did you finish my book yet?
205
00:12:10,056 --> 00:12:11,789
I have encyclopaedias
that are smaller.
206
00:12:11,824 --> 00:12:14,125
- Did you finish mine?
- I did, actually, yeah.
207
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,226
You're kidding?
208
00:12:15,227 --> 00:12:18,385
No. It's alright, you could make it up
to me by reading mine on the book tour.
209
00:12:18,831 --> 00:12:20,798
What book tour?
210
00:12:20,833 --> 00:12:24,338
Piper and Julian told me how well
you two hit it off at the reading.
211
00:12:24,373 --> 00:12:25,536
You had great chemistry.
212
00:12:25,572 --> 00:12:28,206
- We barely spoke.
- I felt it, too.
213
00:12:28,241 --> 00:12:32,443
We recently had success pairing new
writers with our established authors.
214
00:12:32,478 --> 00:12:34,445
And as you may have noticed,
215
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,714
Elliot tends to draw a crowd
wherever he goes.
216
00:12:36,749 --> 00:12:40,651
Sure, but my book is
a romantic comedy memoir
217
00:12:40,687 --> 00:12:42,687
about getting over a breakup,
and Elliot writes...
218
00:12:42,722 --> 00:12:46,190
...nerd novels. I'm sorry.
219
00:12:46,226 --> 00:12:48,993
Successful nerd novels.
220
00:12:49,028 --> 00:12:50,561
Still, I don't see the connection.
221
00:12:50,597 --> 00:12:52,047
Here's the thing, Cassie.
222
00:12:52,048 --> 00:12:56,154
You need the exposure,
especially with females 18 to 35.
223
00:12:56,189 --> 00:12:59,275
That's a large, loyal market
that still buys books,
224
00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:00,482
then blogs and tweets about them.
225
00:13:00,506 --> 00:13:03,667
And they happen to love
Elliot's novels.
226
00:13:03,702 --> 00:13:04,542
I saw.
227
00:13:04,577 --> 00:13:06,811
Practically passed out
when he put on his glasses.
228
00:13:06,846 --> 00:13:09,180
You know, I'm sorry, but do you
even need those glasses
229
00:13:09,215 --> 00:13:11,055
- or are they the fake kind?
- I'll never tell.
230
00:13:11,084 --> 00:13:12,883
So much chemistry.
231
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:14,169
It's palpable.
232
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:16,898
This is why we want
you two on tour together.
233
00:13:17,890 --> 00:13:22,026
Me on a book tour.
OK, well, how long is the tour?
234
00:13:22,061 --> 00:13:25,696
It's a week trial run. Just a
few Northeastern college towns.
235
00:13:25,732 --> 00:13:28,399
And what does a trial run mean?
236
00:13:28,434 --> 00:13:31,669
Here's the thing...
your book just came out,
237
00:13:31,704 --> 00:13:34,438
and our early projections
show sluggish sales,
238
00:13:34,474 --> 00:13:36,674
which is making it hard
to get reviewers to read it.
239
00:13:36,709 --> 00:13:39,076
But these things
take time, right?
240
00:13:39,112 --> 00:13:41,012
Slow roll-outs are a thing of the past.
241
00:13:41,047 --> 00:13:44,081
Name recognition sells.
So the hope is that by teaming
242
00:13:44,117 --> 00:13:47,084
you with our star author,
we'll see sales increase.
243
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,020
And if not?
244
00:13:49,021 --> 00:13:53,457
Then, unfortunately, we'll have
to re-evaluate our partnership.
245
00:13:53,493 --> 00:13:56,127
- No pressure, right?
- I'm sorry.
246
00:13:56,162 --> 00:13:58,729
It's tough for
new writers out there.
247
00:13:58,765 --> 00:14:01,432
But we love your book and
we see a lot of promise in you.
248
00:14:01,467 --> 00:14:03,952
What did you want me to do on tour?
249
00:14:03,953 --> 00:14:07,038
I mean, aside from
winning Elliot's fan base.
250
00:14:07,073 --> 00:14:10,846
Similar to the signings
yesterday, but with readings.
251
00:14:10,881 --> 00:14:12,576
Readings?
252
00:14:12,612 --> 00:14:15,079
I just... I really hate
public speaking,
253
00:14:15,114 --> 00:14:18,949
so what if I just sign the books
and let Elliot do the talking?
254
00:14:18,985 --> 00:14:21,919
Well, there's also interviews
and Q and A's...
255
00:14:21,954 --> 00:14:24,088
Maybe we could
come up with something
256
00:14:24,123 --> 00:14:25,990
that doesn't end with me
breaking out in hives
257
00:14:26,025 --> 00:14:27,958
or freezing on stage.
258
00:14:27,994 --> 00:14:30,961
It's just not very good
for sales.
259
00:14:30,997 --> 00:14:33,264
Well, I was told that
your mother was at the reading.
260
00:14:33,299 --> 00:14:34,849
She's a big draw.
261
00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:37,633
Maybe you'd be more comfortable
doing interviews with her?
262
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:39,170
The press would eat it up.
263
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,974
This has been a great meeting.
264
00:14:44,010 --> 00:14:47,677
Just really, you've given me
a lot to think about.
265
00:14:47,712 --> 00:14:49,547
Thank you.
266
00:14:51,951 --> 00:14:54,685
I wasn't expecting that reaction.
267
00:14:54,721 --> 00:14:56,954
- Cassie!
- Yeah.
268
00:14:56,989 --> 00:14:58,801
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean
to run out like that.
269
00:14:58,825 --> 00:15:01,325
I'm very appreciative
of everything
270
00:15:01,361 --> 00:15:02,711
...that you're trying to do for me.
271
00:15:02,712 --> 00:15:05,342
I can imagine how overwhelming
this all seems,
272
00:15:05,377 --> 00:15:06,664
but we have to do something big
273
00:15:06,699 --> 00:15:08,599
to get people to read
your wonderful book.
274
00:15:08,634 --> 00:15:10,267
Otherwise...
275
00:15:10,303 --> 00:15:12,223
I'm just another
wannabe writer in a coffee shop.
276
00:15:30,823 --> 00:15:33,724
- This should warm you up.
- Thanks, Becca.
277
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,726
What's going on with you?
278
00:15:35,762 --> 00:15:37,995
Nothing, why?
279
00:15:38,030 --> 00:15:40,998
You just hung the sign
upside-down.
280
00:15:41,033 --> 00:15:42,317
I'm so sorry.
281
00:15:42,318 --> 00:15:45,803
And I heard you call a customer
by his correct name earlier.
282
00:15:45,838 --> 00:15:47,738
I couldn't think
of a funny name.
283
00:15:47,774 --> 00:15:51,553
For Joe? That's a softball name.
Everything rhymes with it.
284
00:15:51,577 --> 00:15:54,912
You know, I just...
I have a lot of my mind.
285
00:15:54,947 --> 00:15:56,213
The book?
286
00:16:01,587 --> 00:16:02,704
What are you doing here?
287
00:16:02,705 --> 00:16:06,891
Cassie! Please excuse my rude
barista. How can we help you?
288
00:16:06,926 --> 00:16:09,260
I actually came
to talk to the rude barista.
289
00:16:09,295 --> 00:16:10,920
This is the dragon writer.
290
00:16:12,398 --> 00:16:15,032
- You didn't say he was cute.
- Maybe I don't think he's cute.
291
00:16:15,067 --> 00:16:18,169
Order anything you want.
It's on us.
292
00:16:22,975 --> 00:16:24,875
I like her.
Can she do that?
293
00:16:24,911 --> 00:16:27,745
That's my roommate, Becca.
She owns the place, so yeah.
294
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:29,780
Look, I just wanted to come by
295
00:16:29,816 --> 00:16:31,727
and apologize for what happened
today at MacDonner Press.
296
00:16:31,751 --> 00:16:35,416
- I did feel a little ambushed.
- Yeah, I could tell.
297
00:16:35,451 --> 00:16:38,300
I'm sorry, I thought they would have
given you a heads-up about the tour.
298
00:16:38,324 --> 00:16:40,391
I appreciate the apology,
299
00:16:40,426 --> 00:16:42,304
but you didn't have to come
all the way down here to deliver it.
300
00:16:42,328 --> 00:16:46,897
Well, I also have
an ulterior motive.
301
00:16:46,933 --> 00:16:48,466
I want you on this tour.
302
00:16:48,501 --> 00:16:51,635
You want me
to be your opening act?
303
00:16:51,671 --> 00:16:54,238
Opening act, it's...
You're funny.
304
00:16:54,273 --> 00:16:56,207
Listen, I'm actually
on the clock,
305
00:16:56,242 --> 00:16:57,986
so if you could just make it fast,
whatever you have to say.
306
00:16:58,010 --> 00:16:59,527
As a barista?
307
00:16:59,528 --> 00:17:03,581
Not all of us were bestsellers by
age 27, so some of us have to work.
308
00:17:03,616 --> 00:17:06,550
- You googled me.
- And you're stalking me.
309
00:17:06,586 --> 00:17:08,788
How did you find me, by the way?
310
00:17:08,855 --> 00:17:12,223
Is tracking
one of your dragon powers?
311
00:17:12,258 --> 00:17:14,209
Yeah. That and I asked Piper.
312
00:17:15,036 --> 00:17:18,128
Look, I think you that you have
a fresh approach to storytelling.
313
00:17:18,164 --> 00:17:20,064
That's why I requested you
to be on the tour.
314
00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:23,734
Listen, the tour is
an incredible opportunity...
315
00:17:23,769 --> 00:17:26,971
- But?
- Nobody wants to hear from me.
316
00:17:27,006 --> 00:17:29,440
The moment anyone finds out
who my mom is,
317
00:17:29,475 --> 00:17:31,487
I cease to exist as a person
and much less a writer.
318
00:17:31,511 --> 00:17:33,577
And I mean, come on, admit it,
319
00:17:33,613 --> 00:17:35,479
that's why you wanted
to tour with me, right?
320
00:17:35,515 --> 00:17:37,414
To get closer
to your literary hero?
321
00:17:37,450 --> 00:17:41,619
OK, I admit that the thought
might have crossed my mind,
322
00:17:41,654 --> 00:17:43,988
but that's before I read
your book and realized
323
00:17:44,023 --> 00:17:45,923
what a witty, original writer you are,
324
00:17:45,924 --> 00:17:49,326
not just a barista who is
Jeannine Jordan's daughter.
325
00:17:49,362 --> 00:17:52,329
Well, maybe I am a witty,
original barista, too.
326
00:17:52,365 --> 00:17:54,765
I imagine you're
a lot more than that.
327
00:17:56,469 --> 00:18:01,171
Listen, this is where
I'm gonna be tonight at 7.
328
00:18:02,842 --> 00:18:05,843
We're going over the details
on the tour.
329
00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:07,378
I hope I see you there.
330
00:18:22,495 --> 00:18:24,628
- I don't think she's coming.
- She'll be here.
331
00:18:24,664 --> 00:18:28,198
Give her 5 minutes.
332
00:18:30,703 --> 00:18:33,037
See? What did I tell you?
333
00:18:33,072 --> 00:18:35,172
Listen, I am so sorry
that I'm late.
334
00:18:35,207 --> 00:18:37,185
I would actually blame
the train, but it's my fault.
335
00:18:37,209 --> 00:18:39,510
I almost let my nerves
get the best of me.
336
00:18:39,545 --> 00:18:41,395
All my pleading worked then?
337
00:18:41,396 --> 00:18:44,882
It's slow season at the coffee shop,
so the timing just worked out.
338
00:18:44,917 --> 00:18:47,418
Coffee shops have slow seasons?
339
00:18:47,453 --> 00:18:49,831
Can't tell you how excited we are
for this awesome book tour!
340
00:18:49,855 --> 00:18:52,389
- It's going to be epic.
- It's going to be epic.
341
00:18:52,425 --> 00:18:55,693
- Don't forget "awesome".
- It's just a quick tour.
342
00:18:55,728 --> 00:18:58,829
- Here, Albany, Boston and Buffalo.
- They love you in Buffalo.
343
00:18:58,864 --> 00:19:00,764
- Me?
- No, Elliot.
344
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,633
Right.
345
00:19:01,634 --> 00:19:03,897
Cassie, if you need anything,
I'll be your point person.
346
00:19:03,898 --> 00:19:05,921
So you give me a call,
it doesn't matter the time.
347
00:19:05,922 --> 00:19:07,905
We reserved a rental car.
348
00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:10,018
We're driving? I thought
you were a best-selling author.
349
00:19:10,042 --> 00:19:12,209
I have a dog,
and she prefers to drive.
350
00:19:12,244 --> 00:19:14,612
- Your dog knows how to drive?
- She's a very clever dog.
351
00:19:14,647 --> 00:19:17,739
- Then why can't she fly?
- If you would prefer to fly,
352
00:19:17,774 --> 00:19:19,550
we can make arrangements
or get you a driver.
353
00:19:19,585 --> 00:19:21,885
I don't want to make anything
overly complicated.
354
00:19:21,921 --> 00:19:24,788
Great! Then you can ride with me.
I'd enjoy the company.
355
00:19:24,824 --> 00:19:27,591
- What about your dog?
- She's a lousy conversationalist.
356
00:19:27,627 --> 00:19:30,111
I love it! This is great PR.
357
00:19:30,112 --> 00:19:32,487
Plus the two of you will have a chance
to get to know one another
358
00:19:32,488 --> 00:19:35,307
and trade writing tips or whatever.
359
00:19:35,342 --> 00:19:37,368
OK, I have one condition.
360
00:19:37,403 --> 00:19:40,383
I already told them that your mom's
not coming along as a wingman.
361
00:19:40,418 --> 00:19:42,272
Make that two conditions.
362
00:19:42,308 --> 00:19:45,776
What he just said
and I control the driving music.
363
00:19:45,811 --> 00:19:49,813
OK, but I get to pick
the road snacks.
364
00:19:49,849 --> 00:19:53,250
Well, Mr. Somersby, looks like
we have ourselves a deal.
365
00:19:53,285 --> 00:19:56,120
- When do we start?
- Monday.
366
00:19:56,155 --> 00:19:58,489
Monday as in two days
from now Monday?
367
00:19:58,524 --> 00:20:01,325
We're hoping to get ahead
of any potential snowstorm.
368
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:03,827
It'll go fast. Before you know it,
you'll both be back
369
00:20:03,863 --> 00:20:05,230
and working on your next books!
370
00:20:05,231 --> 00:20:08,999
Elliot, people are already asking
about that third book.
371
00:20:09,035 --> 00:20:12,770
Yeah, the third book.
It's the big finale.
372
00:20:12,805 --> 00:20:17,022
And, Elliot,
I also have you down for...
373
00:20:17,057 --> 00:20:21,345
Blue fine-points for signing,
breath mints,
374
00:20:21,380 --> 00:20:24,748
room temperature water,
extra blankets for your room,
375
00:20:24,784 --> 00:20:26,984
concierge service.
Anything else?
376
00:20:27,019 --> 00:20:29,353
No, that's fine.
Thank you.
377
00:20:29,388 --> 00:20:31,088
What about you, Cassie?
What do you need?
378
00:20:31,123 --> 00:20:35,592
- M and M's. No red ones.
- "M and M's, no red ones".
379
00:20:35,628 --> 00:20:37,928
I think that she's kidding.
380
00:20:37,963 --> 00:20:41,913
- I don't understand.
- Cassie thinks that I'm a diva.
381
00:20:41,948 --> 00:20:43,788
- I didn't say that.
- But you thought it.
382
00:20:43,823 --> 00:20:45,536
But I didn't say it.
383
00:20:45,671 --> 00:20:48,005
I can already tell this tour
is gonna be a success.
384
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,874
- I'm tweeting out the dates now.
- It is going to be...
385
00:20:50,910 --> 00:20:52,443
- Awesome.
- Epic.
386
00:21:07,127 --> 00:21:09,127
Do you think
that I'm overpacking?
387
00:21:09,162 --> 00:21:11,462
Not at all.
388
00:21:11,498 --> 00:21:14,253
I've never been on a book tour,
I don't really know what I need.
389
00:21:14,288 --> 00:21:16,434
You definitely need this.
390
00:21:16,469 --> 00:21:18,169
It'll look way better
on you than on me.
391
00:21:18,205 --> 00:21:19,838
Maybe Elliot will like it.
392
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,641
I'm not interested
in what Elliot likes.
393
00:21:22,876 --> 00:21:24,676
He wasn't wearing
a wedding ring.
394
00:21:24,711 --> 00:21:27,245
- I don't care.
- It would be interesting.
395
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,247
You going on tour to promote
your breakup book
396
00:21:29,282 --> 00:21:31,182
and then falling in love.
397
00:21:31,218 --> 00:21:33,017
It could be your sequel!
398
00:21:33,053 --> 00:21:35,587
I will take your sweater,
but not your sequel.
399
00:21:38,358 --> 00:21:41,359
OK.
400
00:21:41,394 --> 00:21:43,595
Yeah, I think this is
a two-person job.
401
00:21:43,630 --> 00:21:47,332
- I just... I can't...
- Here, just...
402
00:21:49,369 --> 00:21:51,336
- OK.
- Yes!
403
00:21:51,371 --> 00:21:52,971
Alright.
404
00:21:53,006 --> 00:21:55,440
- Three.
- OK. Oh, my God! Oh no!
405
00:21:55,475 --> 00:21:57,308
We're good.
406
00:21:57,344 --> 00:21:59,677
- OK.
- Great.
407
00:21:59,713 --> 00:22:02,647
- I packed it up.
- Yeah, you did.
408
00:22:02,682 --> 00:22:05,216
OK, OK. Hey, Mom!
409
00:22:05,252 --> 00:22:06,869
Right on time.
410
00:22:06,870 --> 00:22:11,956
This reminds me of the first time
I sent you off for summer camp.
411
00:22:11,992 --> 00:22:13,892
Smile!
412
00:22:13,927 --> 00:22:15,126
Wait.
413
00:22:15,161 --> 00:22:17,829
OK.
414
00:22:17,864 --> 00:22:19,731
Very funny, but we're
gonna take another one.
415
00:22:19,766 --> 00:22:24,235
I want a real picture.
This is a big deal.
416
00:22:26,075 --> 00:22:30,074
- OK, Mom, it's not prom.
- No, this is better.
417
00:22:30,110 --> 00:22:32,510
You are never gonna forget
your first tour.
418
00:22:32,545 --> 00:22:34,129
Or my only tour.
419
00:22:34,130 --> 00:22:36,106
Cassie, stop talking like that.
420
00:22:36,107 --> 00:22:39,864
This is the first day of the rest
of your long, fabulous career.
421
00:22:39,865 --> 00:22:43,221
I want you
to savour every moment.
422
00:22:43,256 --> 00:22:45,189
Mom, you didn't have
to get me anything.
423
00:22:45,225 --> 00:22:49,027
Your father gave that
to me on my first tour.
424
00:22:49,062 --> 00:22:50,929
You should have it.
425
00:22:51,587 --> 00:22:54,432
"Always write from the heart".
426
00:22:54,467 --> 00:22:56,367
He'd be so proud of you.
427
00:22:56,403 --> 00:22:59,304
Thanks, Mom. I love it.
Come here.
428
00:23:02,642 --> 00:23:05,143
OK, come here.
429
00:23:07,447 --> 00:23:10,581
Sorry, am I interrupting?
430
00:23:10,617 --> 00:23:13,618
No. We're...
We're just saying goodbye.
431
00:23:13,653 --> 00:23:16,387
I can wait in the car,
if you want to take a minute.
432
00:23:16,423 --> 00:23:19,090
- No, it's OK.
- Alright. Let me get your bag.
433
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:22,226
Bags. You pack enough?
434
00:23:22,262 --> 00:23:23,578
I can pack more if you want.
435
00:23:23,579 --> 00:23:27,532
No, no, this'll be my...
my workout for the tour.
436
00:23:29,269 --> 00:23:31,069
Well, I will miss you both.
437
00:23:31,104 --> 00:23:34,105
Take lots of pictures.
I'll put them on your fan site.
438
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:37,208
- I don't have a fan site.
- You do now.
439
00:23:37,243 --> 00:23:40,378
OK.
440
00:23:40,413 --> 00:23:42,413
- Bye!
- Bye!
441
00:23:42,449 --> 00:23:44,180
Have fun!
442
00:23:44,444 --> 00:23:46,914
Elliot, don't drive too fast.
443
00:23:59,766 --> 00:24:01,833
OK, so I need to get this
out in the open.
444
00:24:02,068 --> 00:24:04,102
Alright, I'm listening.
445
00:24:04,137 --> 00:24:07,805
I know you're the big draw
and I'm the tag-along new writer,
446
00:24:07,841 --> 00:24:10,475
but we're equals and despite
my barista experience,
447
00:24:10,510 --> 00:24:12,621
I am not here to fetch your
coffee or get you baked goods.
448
00:24:12,645 --> 00:24:16,414
Never crossed my mind to have
you fetch anything for me.
449
00:24:17,984 --> 00:24:21,619
OK. Well then, drive on.
I made a road trip playlist.
450
00:24:23,690 --> 00:24:25,656
Is this your entourage?
451
00:24:25,692 --> 00:24:27,992
- Yeah. That's Bungee.
- Bungee?
452
00:24:28,028 --> 00:24:31,763
- Like jumping?
- She was a bouncy puppy.
453
00:24:31,798 --> 00:24:34,665
You are way less scary
than bungee jumping.
454
00:24:34,701 --> 00:24:36,288
So, is she the secret
to your success?
455
00:24:36,304 --> 00:24:39,644
You guessed it. She's the
brains behind this operation.
456
00:24:39,672 --> 00:24:41,639
Well, I hope
that you get comfy, Bungee,
457
00:24:41,674 --> 00:24:44,709
because it is going to be
a long ride.
458
00:24:44,744 --> 00:24:47,011
Actually, the first leg
is pretty short.
459
00:24:47,047 --> 00:24:48,980
You read the itinerary, right?
460
00:24:49,015 --> 00:24:51,516
Piper sent that
to me this morning,
461
00:24:51,551 --> 00:24:53,484
but I didn't have a chance
with all the packing.
462
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,486
I hope you packed a life jacket,
463
00:24:55,522 --> 00:24:57,322
because they are throwing you
in the deep end.
464
00:24:57,357 --> 00:24:59,323
What do you mean?
465
00:25:00,187 --> 00:25:03,461
I don't want to go in the deep end.
I want to get out of the pool.
466
00:25:03,496 --> 00:25:06,197
- How can you be so calm?
- You get used to it.
467
00:25:06,232 --> 00:25:08,966
Piper!
468
00:25:09,002 --> 00:25:11,702
- How are my favourite authors?
- I think I'm gonna be sick!
469
00:25:11,738 --> 00:25:13,838
You should do it now
before you get on TV.
470
00:25:13,873 --> 00:25:16,074
- You're not helping.
- Just take a deep breath.
471
00:25:16,109 --> 00:25:19,410
That's it.
472
00:25:19,446 --> 00:25:20,729
And another one.
473
00:25:20,730 --> 00:25:23,206
Now, when you get out
there, don't look in cameras.
474
00:25:23,207 --> 00:25:24,482
Just look at Samantha.
475
00:25:24,517 --> 00:25:26,551
- Samantha?
- The host.
476
00:25:26,586 --> 00:25:28,764
She's gonna ask you about your
book. Like what inspired it?
477
00:25:28,788 --> 00:25:30,922
What's your routine? Easy stuff.
478
00:25:30,957 --> 00:25:32,990
Pretend like you're talking
to one of your friends.
479
00:25:33,026 --> 00:25:36,661
- One of my friends. Got it.
- OK.
480
00:25:36,696 --> 00:25:38,696
You're ready for us?
481
00:25:38,731 --> 00:25:42,400
- OK.
- Be good, Bungee.
482
00:25:42,435 --> 00:25:44,268
How does he make everything
look so easy?
483
00:25:44,304 --> 00:25:46,404
That's Elliot.
484
00:25:46,439 --> 00:25:49,006
I'll be just off camera.
Don't forget to smile.
485
00:25:49,042 --> 00:25:51,442
But not too smiley.
486
00:25:51,478 --> 00:25:53,744
Smile but not too smiley.
That makes perfect sense.
487
00:25:55,548 --> 00:25:57,682
Are you live tweeting
the interview?
488
00:25:57,717 --> 00:26:00,852
What? No, I'm just making
some arrangements for Bungee.
489
00:26:03,790 --> 00:26:05,468
You're gonna be OK.
You just have to breathe.
490
00:26:05,492 --> 00:26:08,126
Why does everyone keep
reminding me to breathe?
491
00:26:08,161 --> 00:26:10,239
Has anyone ever forgotten
to breathe? Is that a thing?
492
00:26:10,263 --> 00:26:12,430
- It's OK.
- I'm gonna be right here
493
00:26:12,465 --> 00:26:15,133
if you need me, OK?
I got your back.
494
00:26:15,168 --> 00:26:17,435
Elliot Somersby.
It's been a while.
495
00:26:17,470 --> 00:26:19,103
Samatha Wallace, hi.
How are you?
496
00:26:19,139 --> 00:26:21,206
And you must be Cassandra Winslett.
497
00:26:21,207 --> 00:26:23,430
The interns cannot stop talking
about your book.
498
00:26:23,465 --> 00:26:26,077
Well, good things, I hope.
499
00:26:26,112 --> 00:26:27,812
We all have
a breakup story, am I right?
500
00:26:27,847 --> 00:26:31,191
Elliot knows the drill. We're gonna
start with a segment on his book,
501
00:26:31,226 --> 00:26:32,461
and then we'll move
on to you, Cassandra.
502
00:26:32,485 --> 00:26:34,318
Sound good?
503
00:26:34,354 --> 00:26:37,955
- You can call me Cassie.
- Cassie it is.
504
00:26:40,229 --> 00:26:42,760
I'm just trying to be myself.
505
00:26:42,795 --> 00:26:44,729
OK. Here we go.
506
00:26:46,166 --> 00:26:49,567
Welcome back. With me now
is Elliot Somersby,
507
00:26:49,602 --> 00:26:51,802
author of the best-selling
"Dread Monarch Saga",
508
00:26:51,838 --> 00:26:55,339
and an exciting new writer,
Cassie Winslett.
509
00:26:55,375 --> 00:26:57,975
Let's start with you, Elliot.
First of all, congratulations!
510
00:26:58,011 --> 00:27:00,511
Your second book is doing
even better than the first.
511
00:27:00,547 --> 00:27:01,864
How does that feel?
512
00:27:01,865 --> 00:27:04,224
Can't lie, Samantha,
it feels pretty great.
513
00:27:04,259 --> 00:27:08,092
And I know your fans are eagerly
awaiting the third book in the trilogy.
514
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,521
Any idea when we'll be able
to see that?
515
00:27:10,557 --> 00:27:13,412
Let's just say I'm working
very hard
516
00:27:13,447 --> 00:27:15,047
at giving it the
ending that it deserves.
517
00:27:15,356 --> 00:27:17,528
As for when you're gonna see it,
518
00:27:17,564 --> 00:27:19,964
well, I can't give away
all my secrets now, can I?
519
00:27:21,489 --> 00:27:25,102
And, Cassie, I assume that there
are no dragons in your book.
520
00:27:25,138 --> 00:27:28,039
No dragons.
521
00:27:28,074 --> 00:27:31,444
Although it is an adventure book,
if you consider everything that I did
522
00:27:31,479 --> 00:27:33,211
to get over my breakup an adventure.
523
00:27:33,246 --> 00:27:35,947
I thought that the chapter
where you go stand-up paddle
524
00:27:35,982 --> 00:27:37,565
boarding is hilarious.
525
00:27:37,566 --> 00:27:42,019
Would you say that "My Heartbreak
Year" is your "Eat, Pray, Love"?
526
00:27:42,055 --> 00:27:44,222
Well, I did a lot of eating.
527
00:27:44,257 --> 00:27:49,860
Though the "journey" was local
and definitely on a budget.
528
00:27:49,896 --> 00:27:51,562
- So it's accessible?
- Yeah.
529
00:27:51,598 --> 00:27:54,298
- Pardon me?
- Yes.
530
00:27:56,002 --> 00:27:59,837
And, We've all had
our heart broken.
531
00:27:59,872 --> 00:28:03,241
I know I've done
my fair share of wallowing,
532
00:28:03,276 --> 00:28:06,684
but I realized it's not
about holding on to the past,
533
00:28:06,719 --> 00:28:10,332
but your future and learning to
love yourself as you move forward.
534
00:28:10,367 --> 00:28:12,016
Sorry, I'm kind of rambling.
535
00:28:12,051 --> 00:28:13,962
- I'm a little nervous.
- It's fine.
536
00:28:14,021 --> 00:28:16,004
The question that we
all want to know is:
537
00:28:16,005 --> 00:28:18,734
...what does your mother
think about all of this?
538
00:28:18,769 --> 00:28:21,392
My mother?
539
00:28:21,427 --> 00:28:23,527
For those in the audience
that don't know,
540
00:28:23,563 --> 00:28:25,696
Cassie's mother is
author Jeannine Jordan.
541
00:28:25,732 --> 00:28:29,122
And this is your first book, she
must have had tons of advice, right?
542
00:28:29,157 --> 00:28:31,513
Well...
543
00:28:33,873 --> 00:28:36,274
...we're very supportive
of one another.
544
00:28:36,309 --> 00:28:38,709
Great!
545
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:41,488
Well, it looks like we're
out of time.
546
00:28:41,523 --> 00:28:43,192
I'd love to thank my guests
Elliot Somersby
547
00:28:43,216 --> 00:28:45,616
and Cassandra Winslett
for being here today.
548
00:28:45,652 --> 00:28:47,418
Stay tuned. When we come back,
549
00:28:47,453 --> 00:28:50,955
we are gonna learn how to grow
tomatoes in the snow.
550
00:28:54,227 --> 00:28:57,595
Alright!
Great job, guys!
551
00:28:57,630 --> 00:29:00,531
I hope you have
a great rest of your book tour.
552
00:29:00,566 --> 00:29:03,934
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
553
00:29:03,970 --> 00:29:06,937
I completely bombed that, Elliot.
I'm sorry.
554
00:29:06,973 --> 00:29:09,774
You know, if you wanna back out
of touring with me...
555
00:29:09,809 --> 00:29:12,543
- ... I completely understand.
- Hey, hey. It wasn't that bad.
556
00:29:13,398 --> 00:29:14,424
Are you OK?
557
00:29:15,348 --> 00:29:17,448
Yeah.
558
00:29:17,483 --> 00:29:19,517
I just... It's a lot.
559
00:29:24,624 --> 00:29:26,624
I'm gonna head back
to the Green Room
560
00:29:26,659 --> 00:29:28,993
to make sure Bungee hasn't eaten
any pillows or anything.
561
00:29:29,028 --> 00:29:32,063
I heard there's a gift basket
with our name on it,
562
00:29:32,098 --> 00:29:34,832
so, you know, I could stress eat
some candy right about now.
563
00:29:34,867 --> 00:29:37,802
OK.
564
00:29:45,644 --> 00:29:48,311
So, what did we get?
565
00:29:49,809 --> 00:29:52,949
A couple of mugs and candy...
566
00:29:52,985 --> 00:29:55,485
...and copies of our own books.
567
00:29:57,589 --> 00:30:02,459
Well, at least, we could sign
each other's, sell 'em online.
568
00:30:03,213 --> 00:30:06,477
You know, I know we have
to do these interviews,
569
00:30:06,478 --> 00:30:07,542
but I don't have to like them.
570
00:30:07,566 --> 00:30:11,068
Why? You got this.
571
00:30:11,103 --> 00:30:13,470
Just...
You know, growing up,
572
00:30:13,505 --> 00:30:16,640
...I was always sheltered
from my mom's writer life.
573
00:30:16,675 --> 00:30:18,675
And then when I was 10,
my dad died...
574
00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:21,044
...and the shield
wasn't there anymore.
575
00:30:22,945 --> 00:30:26,750
- Sorry, that must've been hard.
- It was. Especially on her.
576
00:30:26,785 --> 00:30:32,435
I mean, suddenly, she's single
and juggling everything and...
577
00:30:33,292 --> 00:30:35,425
You know, she is so impressive,
578
00:30:35,461 --> 00:30:37,594
and I would happily
talk about her all day long,
579
00:30:37,629 --> 00:30:38,746
it's just it's everybody else.
580
00:30:38,747 --> 00:30:40,864
They want to pick us apart.
581
00:30:40,899 --> 00:30:44,067
Is that maybe where
the stage fright came from?
582
00:30:44,103 --> 00:30:46,403
I guess so.
583
00:30:46,438 --> 00:30:48,872
The fear of not living up
to what came before?
584
00:30:48,907 --> 00:30:50,774
I get it.
585
00:30:53,579 --> 00:30:57,383
You know, growing up,
it didn't matter what I wrote,
586
00:30:57,418 --> 00:30:59,761
my teachers always compared
my work to my mom's.
587
00:30:59,796 --> 00:31:02,752
- I mean, I was a kid!
- Yet you still became a writer.
588
00:31:02,788 --> 00:31:04,888
It's hereditary, I guess.
589
00:31:04,923 --> 00:31:08,425
It's just I really want my book
590
00:31:08,460 --> 00:31:10,961
to be my own voice, you know?
I don't...
591
00:31:10,996 --> 00:31:14,965
I don't want to be seen
as the "kid of someone famous".
592
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,968
It's very important to me
that I make my own way.
593
00:31:18,003 --> 00:31:21,104
I mean, otherwise, what's the
point if nobody's interested?
594
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:23,406
You make them interested.
595
00:31:23,442 --> 00:31:25,375
You're the writer,
you tell the story.
596
00:31:25,410 --> 00:31:28,111
Is that some
of your wizard wisdom?
597
00:31:28,147 --> 00:31:31,248
First of all, there's
no wizards in my book.
598
00:31:31,283 --> 00:31:33,150
You haven't read my book yet,
have you?
599
00:31:33,185 --> 00:31:36,219
What snacks did you bring?
600
00:31:36,255 --> 00:31:38,889
Nice pivot, great pivot. I'm
gonna let this one go this time.
601
00:31:38,924 --> 00:31:41,791
Come on, it's all beef jerky
and potato chips!
602
00:31:41,827 --> 00:31:43,994
There's some turkey jerky
in there too.
603
00:31:44,029 --> 00:31:46,163
Yeah, OK.
You have not been
604
00:31:46,198 --> 00:31:48,972
on a road trip with a woman
in a while, have you?
605
00:31:49,007 --> 00:31:50,467
Bungee would eat it.
606
00:31:50,502 --> 00:31:52,903
Bungee would eat
this grocery bag!
607
00:31:52,938 --> 00:31:54,804
OK, we need to make a food stop.
608
00:31:56,568 --> 00:31:59,609
OK, alright. You know what?
I know the perfect place.
609
00:32:07,386 --> 00:32:12,189
Normally, we don't allow pets, but
it's slow and your dog is adorable.
610
00:32:12,224 --> 00:32:15,625
Thank you. It's so cold outside,
I really appreciate it.
611
00:32:15,661 --> 00:32:18,261
And I'm also a fan.
612
00:32:20,165 --> 00:32:22,766
Where did you find this place?
613
00:32:22,801 --> 00:32:24,701
On a list of places
where all your fans work?
614
00:32:24,736 --> 00:32:26,836
Actually, believe it or not,
615
00:32:26,872 --> 00:32:30,373
I ate here three times a day
for two days straight.
616
00:32:30,409 --> 00:32:33,877
- What? How did you do that?
- I was on my first tour.
617
00:32:33,912 --> 00:32:35,979
I was younger.
I was trying to save money.
618
00:32:37,202 --> 00:32:39,149
But you gotta admit, though,
the food is pretty good.
619
00:32:39,173 --> 00:32:42,786
- You're right, delicious, but...
- It's better than beef jerky.
620
00:32:42,821 --> 00:32:46,790
But not dog treats.
Right, Bungee? You want one?
621
00:32:46,825 --> 00:32:50,160
- Yeah, good girl. Yeah.
- You two are cute together.
622
00:32:50,195 --> 00:32:52,862
Yeah, well, we've been
through a lot.
623
00:32:52,898 --> 00:32:55,398
She was a congratulations
for my first book.
624
00:32:55,434 --> 00:32:57,400
From your publisher?
625
00:32:58,445 --> 00:33:00,204
No. From...
626
00:33:01,106 --> 00:33:04,341
from my ex-wife, Allison.
627
00:33:04,376 --> 00:33:08,011
You know, sometimes I think Bungee
likes her more than she likes me.
628
00:33:08,046 --> 00:33:10,080
Why is she with you?
629
00:33:10,115 --> 00:33:12,415
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to pry.
630
00:33:12,451 --> 00:33:14,684
No. Road trips are fueled
on gasoline and stories.
631
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,320
Well, I did spill my guts
to you earlier.
632
00:33:20,025 --> 00:33:22,259
Allison just recently
moved to Buffalo.
633
00:33:22,294 --> 00:33:25,528
She hasn't seen the dog
for a few months.
634
00:33:25,564 --> 00:33:27,397
Actually,
since we've been divorced.
635
00:33:27,432 --> 00:33:30,867
So I just... I thought it'd be nice
if they saw each other.
636
00:33:30,902 --> 00:33:33,670
Well, it's very amicable of you.
637
00:33:34,873 --> 00:33:36,573
You know, I got
the idea from you.
638
00:33:36,608 --> 00:33:39,109
- What?
- Yeah.
639
00:33:39,144 --> 00:33:42,078
Your book, that chapter
when you first see your ex?
640
00:33:42,114 --> 00:33:44,914
When I do my first
and only flash mob.
641
00:33:44,950 --> 00:33:47,884
Yeah. That was really funny,
by the way.
642
00:33:49,421 --> 00:33:51,588
And I guess I just...
643
00:33:51,623 --> 00:33:53,623
I was thinking
that maybe I could reconnect
644
00:33:53,659 --> 00:33:55,392
and remain on good terms
with her.
645
00:33:55,427 --> 00:33:57,360
I just wrote it.
646
00:33:57,396 --> 00:33:59,207
I didn't think anyone
would be influenced by it.
647
00:33:59,231 --> 00:34:02,065
Well, I was.
So, thank you.
648
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:04,100
Sure.
649
00:34:06,638 --> 00:34:08,738
May I get you anything else?
650
00:34:09,582 --> 00:34:10,774
No.
651
00:34:10,809 --> 00:34:12,809
We should hit the road
if we want to get to Boston.
652
00:34:12,844 --> 00:34:14,155
Be safe out there.
653
00:34:14,156 --> 00:34:16,466
They're saying a winter storm
is definitely gonna hit.
654
00:34:16,501 --> 00:34:18,481
Should we be worried?
655
00:34:18,517 --> 00:34:20,750
No. No. If there's anything
to worry about,
656
00:34:20,786 --> 00:34:22,301
Julian and Piper
will let us know.
657
00:34:39,757 --> 00:34:41,471
Snow angels!
658
00:34:41,506 --> 00:34:44,841
I can't remember
the last time I did that.
659
00:34:44,876 --> 00:34:46,843
You want to make one,
don't you?
660
00:34:46,878 --> 00:34:49,112
Yeah, but it's not
very professional.
661
00:34:53,685 --> 00:34:56,353
What are you waiting for?
Come join me.
662
00:35:01,893 --> 00:35:03,360
- Hi!
- Hello!
663
00:35:03,395 --> 00:35:05,295
- Busted!
- Hi!
664
00:35:05,330 --> 00:35:09,933
Mr. Somersby, I am so excited
to have you stay in my home.
665
00:35:09,968 --> 00:35:11,835
Thank you.
Thanks for having us.
666
00:35:11,870 --> 00:35:14,104
- That's nice.
- This is Cassie Winslett.
667
00:35:14,139 --> 00:35:17,540
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
668
00:35:17,576 --> 00:35:19,509
We don't normally do that.
669
00:35:19,544 --> 00:35:21,778
I've been tempted
to do that myself.
670
00:35:21,813 --> 00:35:25,715
- Mr. Somersby...
- Please. Call me Elliot.
671
00:35:25,751 --> 00:35:30,196
Elliot, would you come and sign
the guest registry, please?
672
00:35:30,231 --> 00:35:33,890
Otherwise, the gals in the book club
will never believe you stayed here.
673
00:35:33,925 --> 00:35:35,992
- I'd be happy to, of course.
- That's good.
674
00:35:36,027 --> 00:35:38,027
I'll send my husband
to get your bags.
675
00:35:38,063 --> 00:35:40,296
Great, OK. I'm just gonna
go grab Bungee.
676
00:35:40,332 --> 00:35:43,032
You come on with me.
677
00:35:44,770 --> 00:35:47,704
And this is your room.
678
00:35:47,739 --> 00:35:50,907
- It's cozy.
- And if you'll follow me,
679
00:35:50,942 --> 00:35:53,376
Mr. Somersby, I have
just the room for you.
680
00:35:53,412 --> 00:35:56,679
It's right this way.
681
00:36:03,455 --> 00:36:06,322
- Hey, neighbour!
- Hey.
682
00:36:06,358 --> 00:36:08,992
I didn't take you for being
a bed and breakfast kind of guy.
683
00:36:09,027 --> 00:36:11,072
I just figured these places
are a bit more dog friendly
684
00:36:11,096 --> 00:36:13,830
- ... than hotels.
- Hey, is...
685
00:36:13,865 --> 00:36:15,765
is your room the size
of a closet, too?
686
00:36:15,801 --> 00:36:18,835
Maybe like a walk-in closet.
687
00:36:19,971 --> 00:36:23,873
You wanna check it out?
688
00:36:26,445 --> 00:36:30,213
This is amazing!
689
00:36:30,248 --> 00:36:32,715
I think my room
would fit in here four times.
690
00:36:32,751 --> 00:36:36,119
- The B and B owner was a fan.
- Yeah, clearly.
691
00:36:36,154 --> 00:36:39,823
Even Bungee's dog bed
is bigger than mine.
692
00:36:42,461 --> 00:36:44,294
Tell you what, why don't
we flip for the room.
693
00:36:44,329 --> 00:36:45,912
Come on, you're kidding.
694
00:36:45,913 --> 00:36:48,310
Only a crazy person would
risk giving this up.
695
00:36:48,345 --> 00:36:51,111
Call it.
I'm serious, call it.
696
00:36:51,146 --> 00:36:52,202
Heads.
697
00:36:55,391 --> 00:36:56,391
Heads!
698
00:36:57,976 --> 00:37:00,610
Must be your lucky day.
699
00:37:00,645 --> 00:37:04,314
Hey, thank you.
700
00:37:04,349 --> 00:37:06,382
- For what?
- The coin toss.
701
00:37:07,686 --> 00:37:11,454
- I saw that it was tails.
- Was it?
702
00:37:11,490 --> 00:37:13,957
Must have missed that.
703
00:37:13,992 --> 00:37:17,293
Come on.
Enjoy the room.
704
00:37:29,441 --> 00:37:32,742
- Hey...
- Becca, hey. Are you busy?
705
00:37:32,777 --> 00:37:35,979
No. I was hoping you'd call.
How's it going with the writer?
706
00:37:36,014 --> 00:37:40,116
It's not at all what I expected.
He's so down to earth.
707
00:37:40,151 --> 00:37:42,118
And we're actually staying
at a bed and breakfast.
708
00:37:42,153 --> 00:37:43,920
Were there no hotels available?
709
00:37:43,955 --> 00:37:46,823
That's the thing. He has no ego.
We're staying here for his dog.
710
00:37:47,535 --> 00:37:52,349
A bed and breakfast for his dog?
How bad is it? You can tell me.
711
00:37:52,384 --> 00:37:54,998
It's nice. I mean,
it's not trendy or anything,
712
00:37:55,033 --> 00:37:57,333
but it's traditional.
713
00:37:57,369 --> 00:38:00,103
OK.
You have to send me pictures.
714
00:38:00,138 --> 00:38:02,171
- OK, I will.
- OK.
715
00:38:02,207 --> 00:38:04,541
I gotta go.
Have fun.
716
00:38:06,098 --> 00:38:07,810
Perfect!
717
00:38:35,650 --> 00:38:37,840
Elliot, are you in there?
718
00:38:37,876 --> 00:38:40,209
Yeah.
719
00:38:42,814 --> 00:38:44,647
- Hey.
- Hey.
720
00:38:45,435 --> 00:38:46,509
Listen, are you hungry?
721
00:38:46,510 --> 00:38:48,319
The B and B host brought up
a lot of food
722
00:38:48,354 --> 00:38:49,994
...that I'm pretty sure
was meant for you.
723
00:38:51,990 --> 00:38:54,157
Yeah. Sure.
724
00:38:55,608 --> 00:38:56,806
Stay.
725
00:38:58,387 --> 00:38:59,508
Stay.
726
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,801
She's a really big fan.
727
00:39:06,167 --> 00:39:07,604
I think we better enjoy this
728
00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:10,306
before she finds out
I didn't start book 3 yet.
729
00:39:10,342 --> 00:39:13,042
You haven't? But you seemed
so confident about it
730
00:39:13,078 --> 00:39:15,511
in the interviews.
Wait, does Gwendolyn know?
731
00:39:15,547 --> 00:39:20,283
Actually, you're the first
person I've ever told.
732
00:39:20,318 --> 00:39:24,921
It's gotta be weird,
knowing it's your last book.
733
00:39:26,858 --> 00:39:31,835
Can I be honest with you?
Like a writer to writer thing?
734
00:39:32,895 --> 00:39:38,534
I think that I'm avoiding writing
because once I finish, who am I?
735
00:39:38,798 --> 00:39:40,737
You're the guy who wrote
a huge book series.
736
00:39:41,072 --> 00:39:46,843
Yeah, sure, but what if I can't
write anything like that again?
737
00:39:46,878 --> 00:39:49,178
I don't want to be
a one-hit wonder.
738
00:39:49,214 --> 00:39:50,813
Technically,
it would be three hits.
739
00:39:50,849 --> 00:39:53,883
- You know what I mean.
- Yeah.
740
00:39:53,918 --> 00:39:58,888
I don't want to be known
as just the "dragon" writer.
741
00:39:59,866 --> 00:40:02,066
Come on, you don't really see
yourself that way, do you?
742
00:40:03,289 --> 00:40:05,244
I didn't see myself...
743
00:40:05,530 --> 00:40:07,597
I didn't see myself
being divorced,
744
00:40:07,632 --> 00:40:09,499
and that happened a year ago.
745
00:40:10,570 --> 00:40:15,204
So between that and the series
coming to an end, it's just...
746
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,940
It's a lot of change.
747
00:40:17,976 --> 00:40:20,410
Yeah.
748
00:40:20,445 --> 00:40:23,413
Well, what a pair we make, huh?
749
00:40:23,448 --> 00:40:26,683
You've got writer's block and
my entire future is on the line.
750
00:40:28,753 --> 00:40:30,720
- At least we won't go hungry.
- Yeah.
751
00:40:30,755 --> 00:40:33,056
That's for sure.
752
00:41:24,275 --> 00:41:27,110
Cassie?
Cassie, are you awake?
753
00:41:30,148 --> 00:41:32,434
I'll be right there.
754
00:41:33,218 --> 00:41:34,366
Coming!
755
00:41:37,548 --> 00:41:41,157
Come on, Bungee!
Bungee! Bungee! Bungee!
756
00:41:41,192 --> 00:41:44,594
Hi! Hey, good morning, Bungee.
757
00:41:44,629 --> 00:41:46,262
- And Elliot.
- Morning.
758
00:41:46,297 --> 00:41:48,197
I was just about to take
Bungee for a walk.
759
00:41:48,233 --> 00:41:49,710
I was gonna get a coffee.
Do you want one?
760
00:41:49,734 --> 00:41:51,834
- Yeah, sure. Thank you.
- Alright.
761
00:41:51,870 --> 00:41:54,137
Now, let's go for a walk.
Come on.
762
00:41:54,172 --> 00:41:56,773
She loves you.
763
00:41:56,808 --> 00:41:59,968
Hey, you know, why don't
I take her for a walk,
764
00:42:00,003 --> 00:42:00,988
and you could go get the coffees.
765
00:42:01,012 --> 00:42:02,678
No. I couldn't
ask that of you.
766
00:42:02,714 --> 00:42:04,947
Yeah, hey.
She and I are pals now.
767
00:42:04,983 --> 00:42:07,884
Seriously. Besides, I could
use a blast of cold air
768
00:42:07,919 --> 00:42:09,331
in the face to help wake me up.
769
00:42:09,332 --> 00:42:12,688
I was up late last night...
working.
770
00:42:12,924 --> 00:42:16,158
Well, I wish
I could say the same.
771
00:42:17,985 --> 00:42:19,417
OK, sure.
772
00:42:19,452 --> 00:42:22,064
Just a quick word
of warning: squirrels.
773
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:25,735
- Beware of them.
- OK. Watch out for squirrels.
774
00:42:25,770 --> 00:42:27,670
OK. OK, come on.
775
00:42:35,813 --> 00:42:40,883
No, to the right!
To the right!
776
00:42:48,993 --> 00:42:52,395
- She saw a squirrel?
- Yeah, she saw a squirrel.
777
00:42:52,430 --> 00:42:54,530
Sorry.
778
00:42:54,565 --> 00:42:58,401
- Bungee! I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.
779
00:42:58,436 --> 00:43:02,371
All over you.
You've got a little...
780
00:43:13,584 --> 00:43:15,651
I have to...
781
00:43:15,686 --> 00:43:18,419
- I gotta take this.
- Yeah, yeah, of course.
782
00:43:18,454 --> 00:43:19,955
Hi, Ally...
783
00:43:22,026 --> 00:43:24,226
No, Bungee is...
She's good.
784
00:43:24,262 --> 00:43:26,796
Yeah, she's getting
plenty of exercise.
785
00:43:26,831 --> 00:43:30,900
OK. Alright, bye.
786
00:43:33,438 --> 00:43:37,106
We just got our first review.
787
00:43:37,141 --> 00:43:39,842
- How much do they love you?
- This is not me.
788
00:43:39,877 --> 00:43:42,111
- This is you.
- Mine?
789
00:43:42,146 --> 00:43:45,614
Yeah. It looks like this book
tour is... it's paying off.
790
00:43:45,650 --> 00:43:48,617
Well, I mean...
791
00:43:48,653 --> 00:43:50,853
...I know reviews are
subjective and everything,
792
00:43:50,888 --> 00:43:54,190
so I don't really care,
but... what does it say?
793
00:43:54,225 --> 00:43:57,259
Do they like it?
Please tell me they like it.
794
00:43:58,353 --> 00:44:01,931
It's from the "Times Book Review",
and yeah, they love it.
795
00:44:02,266 --> 00:44:04,233
I quote,
796
00:44:04,268 --> 00:44:07,467
"Cassandra Winslett's
honest account of moving on
797
00:44:07,502 --> 00:44:08,904
had me in tears of laughter".
798
00:44:08,939 --> 00:44:13,342
It also says, "New writer Winslett
is the voice for women under 35!"
799
00:44:13,377 --> 00:44:19,348
- I'm so relieved!
- You deserve it. You do.
800
00:44:19,383 --> 00:44:21,650
Looks like somebody else
has read your review.
801
00:44:21,685 --> 00:44:27,122
Yeah. Becca is asking me
if she can post my review.
802
00:44:27,158 --> 00:44:29,792
Piper is so excited that she's
flying up for the readings.
803
00:44:31,829 --> 00:44:34,596
And they're both requesting
more pictures for the fan site.
804
00:44:34,632 --> 00:44:36,598
Really?
Well, I can help with that.
805
00:44:38,068 --> 00:44:41,470
A photo of you reading your
first congratulatory texts.
806
00:44:43,974 --> 00:44:45,808
Hey, it's my mom.
807
00:44:45,843 --> 00:44:48,477
Yeah, we'll... we're gonna
give you some privacy.
808
00:44:48,512 --> 00:44:50,679
- OK.
- OK. Congratulations.
809
00:44:50,714 --> 00:44:53,115
- Thanks.
- Come on.
810
00:44:53,150 --> 00:44:55,117
Hey, Mom!
Did you read the review?
811
00:44:55,152 --> 00:44:58,153
I did. I knew they were
going to love you.
812
00:44:58,189 --> 00:45:00,122
I can't believe it.
813
00:45:00,157 --> 00:45:02,002
Why not? Everyone else
can see how amazing you are.
814
00:45:02,026 --> 00:45:04,460
It's time that you start
to see that, too.
815
00:45:04,495 --> 00:45:06,228
Thanks, Mom.
816
00:45:06,263 --> 00:45:09,631
Now, go out there
and own that tour.
817
00:45:20,511 --> 00:45:23,312
"... as the wounded dragon
flew through the air
818
00:45:23,347 --> 00:45:27,015
for what might be
the last time".
819
00:45:27,051 --> 00:45:29,384
Thank you.
820
00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:30,819
Thanks.
821
00:45:32,890 --> 00:45:35,424
- OK, I warmed them up for you.
- You can just stay up there.
822
00:45:35,459 --> 00:45:37,893
You got this. Come on, go!
Go, go, go!
823
00:45:40,130 --> 00:45:41,997
- Good job.
- Hi!
824
00:45:43,538 --> 00:45:47,202
This is my first time
reading in front of a crowd.
825
00:45:47,238 --> 00:45:50,205
I'm not as skilled
as Mr. Dragon here.
826
00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:55,511
I wrote this book
after having my heart broken.
827
00:45:57,915 --> 00:46:00,716
"After the breakup, I got tired
of seeing my puffy eyes
828
00:46:00,751 --> 00:46:03,585
"and messy hair in the mirror,
so I decided to stop feeling
829
00:46:03,621 --> 00:46:06,622
"sorry for myself
and start living. First,
830
00:46:06,657 --> 00:46:08,924
"I made a list of all the things
I'd always wanted to do.
831
00:46:08,959 --> 00:46:12,794
And then second, I decided
to take a year and do them all".
832
00:46:18,068 --> 00:46:20,235
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
833
00:46:29,647 --> 00:46:31,179
Thank you.
834
00:46:32,950 --> 00:46:34,983
I think my reading actually
put people to sleep.
835
00:46:35,019 --> 00:46:36,885
I think I put myself to sleep.
836
00:46:37,929 --> 00:46:40,509
Listen, if you can learn French,
run a marathon
837
00:46:40,544 --> 00:46:43,403
and do all those other things you wrote
about, you can definitely conquer this.
838
00:46:43,427 --> 00:46:45,827
- I really believe that.
- If you say so.
839
00:46:45,863 --> 00:46:51,266
Besides, they don't look asleep
to me.
840
00:46:54,305 --> 00:46:57,439
Hi.
841
00:47:01,278 --> 00:47:03,045
Thanks.
842
00:47:11,810 --> 00:47:15,724
Alright, so because public speaking
is pretty much unavoidable,
843
00:47:15,759 --> 00:47:17,993
I think that we should work
on your stage fright.
844
00:47:18,028 --> 00:47:20,061
Is it unavoidable?
845
00:47:20,062 --> 00:47:22,431
I mean, I won't tell if you want
to do all the talking.
846
00:47:22,466 --> 00:47:25,500
Two words: book deal.
847
00:47:25,536 --> 00:47:29,504
OK, fine. You're right.
It's just I need to practice.
848
00:47:29,540 --> 00:47:31,106
Why not right now?
849
00:47:31,141 --> 00:47:35,277
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Bard of Breakups,
850
00:47:35,312 --> 00:47:38,347
Cassie Winslett!
My God! Hey!
851
00:47:40,484 --> 00:47:42,918
Alright, so you're on the stage.
You go up to the mic.
852
00:47:42,953 --> 00:47:44,987
What's the first thing
that you say?
853
00:47:46,991 --> 00:47:52,461
- Hello? Howdy?
- "Howdy"? Seriously?
854
00:47:52,496 --> 00:47:54,429
I don't know.
It is way different
855
00:47:54,465 --> 00:47:56,298
doing it in front
of a group of strangers
856
00:47:56,333 --> 00:47:58,266
than it is with you and Bungee
and the open road.
857
00:47:58,302 --> 00:48:00,769
The audience is there for you.
They're on your side.
858
00:48:02,373 --> 00:48:03,939
Try this. Close your eyes.
859
00:48:03,974 --> 00:48:06,642
Brace yourself, Albany,
860
00:48:06,677 --> 00:48:08,944
the next week looks
to be a snowy one
861
00:48:08,979 --> 00:48:11,980
as a winter storm
blows down from the north.
862
00:48:12,016 --> 00:48:14,716
- Now, let's return to our music.
- OK, now I am worried.
863
00:48:14,752 --> 00:48:17,285
I think we're gonna
get ahead of it.
864
00:48:17,321 --> 00:48:19,621
Forget about the weather
for a minute.
865
00:48:19,657 --> 00:48:23,325
OK, close your eyes.
Alright, you're on stage.
866
00:48:24,590 --> 00:48:28,463
Now, picture speaking
to all of your favourite people.
867
00:48:38,575 --> 00:48:40,909
Elliot's never agreed
to tour with anyone before.
868
00:48:40,944 --> 00:48:43,245
- He hasn't?
- Nope.
869
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,814
As outgoing as he is on stage,
he's actually really private.
870
00:48:45,849 --> 00:48:48,383
He's all about his writing
and his dog.
871
00:48:48,419 --> 00:48:49,902
Julian and I even took bets
872
00:48:49,903 --> 00:48:51,267
on when he'd request
to start driving alone.
873
00:48:51,291 --> 00:48:52,518
Thank you.
874
00:48:53,190 --> 00:48:55,390
Before I start,
I just want to take a moment
875
00:48:55,426 --> 00:48:57,693
and introduce
a good friend of mine,
876
00:48:57,728 --> 00:48:59,561
Cassie Winslett.
877
00:48:59,596 --> 00:49:02,197
Cassie just released
a fantastic new memoir.
878
00:49:02,232 --> 00:49:07,931
I think you should hear from her
before you hear from me.
879
00:49:08,038 --> 00:49:09,905
What do you say?
Would you like her to read
880
00:49:09,940 --> 00:49:12,174
a passage from her book,
"My Heartbreak Year"?
881
00:49:12,209 --> 00:49:14,276
Come on.
882
00:49:14,311 --> 00:49:17,946
Cassie Winslett, everyone!
883
00:49:19,026 --> 00:49:22,417
Just go on like we practiced.
Close your eyes.
884
00:49:22,453 --> 00:49:24,853
Picture all
your favourite people.
885
00:49:32,763 --> 00:49:36,231
"It wasn't that he was
the love of my life.
886
00:49:36,266 --> 00:49:39,301
"He wasn't even one of those
great loves that you read about
887
00:49:39,336 --> 00:49:41,703
"or see in the movies.
888
00:49:41,739 --> 00:49:43,605
"It was that he loved me
889
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,607
"at a moment
when I thought I needed it.
890
00:49:47,911 --> 00:49:51,613
"But it was
after he broke up with me
891
00:49:51,648 --> 00:49:54,616
"on my birthday...
892
00:49:56,420 --> 00:50:01,256
"... that I realized it wasn't his love
that I needed, but my own".
893
00:50:04,928 --> 00:50:06,728
That was great.
894
00:50:14,805 --> 00:50:18,273
You know, full confession:
that wasn't so bad.
895
00:50:18,308 --> 00:50:20,242
I'm gonna be your opening act
pretty soon.
896
00:50:20,277 --> 00:50:23,678
I highly doubt that.
Nothing prepared me for reading
897
00:50:23,714 --> 00:50:25,914
my own words in front
of a roomful of strangers
898
00:50:25,949 --> 00:50:27,916
and having them "get" it.
What a rush!
899
00:50:29,653 --> 00:50:32,154
Becca said
that my social media following
900
00:50:32,189 --> 00:50:34,022
is starting to grow
since the review,
901
00:50:34,057 --> 00:50:36,625
and some people are even posting
pictures from the reading!
902
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:39,961
- Hashtag "Way to go".
- I know I'm being obnoxious.
903
00:50:39,997 --> 00:50:43,031
- It's just... it's so unreal.
- No, you're not.
904
00:50:43,066 --> 00:50:44,449
We should go celebrate.
905
00:50:44,450 --> 00:50:46,570
We have to be in Buffalo
by the end of the night.
906
00:50:46,605 --> 00:50:49,758
- We can make a detour.
- What about the storm?
907
00:50:49,793 --> 00:50:50,872
What storm?
908
00:50:52,765 --> 00:50:55,343
Come on, what do you say?
909
00:50:55,378 --> 00:50:56,755
OK.
910
00:50:56,790 --> 00:51:01,316
Alright. Maybe...
don't tell Piper.
911
00:51:06,190 --> 00:51:09,658
- Bye, Piper.
- We'll see you in Buffalo!
912
00:51:20,437 --> 00:51:24,239
So I noticed that there was
no winter activities
913
00:51:24,274 --> 00:51:26,374
in your many breakup adventures,
914
00:51:26,410 --> 00:51:28,376
so today we're
going snowshoeing.
915
00:51:28,412 --> 00:51:30,852
That's awesome, I've never
done that before. Is it hard?
916
00:51:30,881 --> 00:51:33,815
No, it's easy. We even got
a doggie daycare for Bungee.
917
00:51:33,851 --> 00:51:35,517
Nice!
918
00:51:38,455 --> 00:51:41,823
- So, what do you think?
- Yeah, it's fun.
919
00:51:41,859 --> 00:51:43,075
Hey, you wanna race?
920
00:51:43,076 --> 00:51:44,814
I don't know how far
we're gonna get.
921
00:51:44,849 --> 00:51:46,294
It's OK. Ready? Go!
922
00:51:51,902 --> 00:51:53,869
Thanks.
923
00:51:56,540 --> 00:51:58,173
Yeah.
924
00:52:01,144 --> 00:52:03,411
- Ready?
- Yeah.
925
00:52:06,717 --> 00:52:10,085
Hey, Becca.
926
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,554
Did you get the photos I sent?
We just went snowshoeing.
927
00:52:12,589 --> 00:52:15,423
Yes. Are all book tours
like this?
928
00:52:15,459 --> 00:52:18,627
If they are,
I never wanna come home.
929
00:52:18,662 --> 00:52:21,463
Here comes Elliot. I gotta go.
Tell everyone I said hi.
930
00:52:21,498 --> 00:52:23,398
OK. Bye.
931
00:52:27,905 --> 00:52:31,345
Only 17 texts from Piper
wondering where we are.
932
00:52:31,380 --> 00:52:32,908
Yeah. Well, 6 from Julian.
933
00:52:32,943 --> 00:52:35,744
He says that the snowstorm
is definitely heading our way.
934
00:52:35,779 --> 00:52:37,646
OK, come on.
935
00:52:37,681 --> 00:52:39,281
Come on, Bungee.
936
00:52:44,855 --> 00:52:46,988
Looks like we didn't get
ahead of the storm.
937
00:52:47,024 --> 00:52:50,191
Should I text Piper, tell her
we'll be there tomorrow?
938
00:52:52,596 --> 00:52:55,497
Yeah. Yeah, I think
that's a good idea.
939
00:52:55,532 --> 00:52:56,932
OK.
940
00:53:05,776 --> 00:53:08,205
Hey! We're in luck,
we got the last cabin.
941
00:53:08,206 --> 00:53:09,956
It's a two-bedroom, two-bath.
942
00:53:09,980 --> 00:53:11,440
They're getting it ready now.
943
00:53:11,441 --> 00:53:14,482
I would sleep in a tub
if it got us out of this storm.
944
00:53:14,618 --> 00:53:16,184
OK.
945
00:53:16,219 --> 00:53:19,087
Alright. Come on, Bungee.
Let's get the bags.
946
00:53:28,332 --> 00:53:30,966
You know, I gotta say, between
the fire and the gift basket,
947
00:53:31,001 --> 00:53:34,002
being snowed in is not that bad.
948
00:53:34,037 --> 00:53:36,304
Yeah, well, the owner's daughter
is apparently a fan.
949
00:53:36,340 --> 00:53:39,708
Really?
I should send her a thank you.
950
00:53:40,233 --> 00:53:41,738
Of mine.
951
00:53:42,646 --> 00:53:44,183
That's great!
952
00:53:44,748 --> 00:53:47,782
- Really, way to go.
- Thanks. Yeah.
953
00:53:47,818 --> 00:53:50,051
You know, I actually make
a killer hot chocolate.
954
00:53:50,087 --> 00:53:52,796
Yeah? Is that
one of your many skills
955
00:53:52,831 --> 00:53:54,588
you learned
on your breakup adventures?
956
00:53:54,623 --> 00:53:57,792
It is actually. I ended up
taking a chocolate-making class
957
00:53:57,828 --> 00:53:59,868
and a cheese-making class,
but not at the same time.
958
00:54:00,868 --> 00:54:02,397
Well, I don't know
if you know this,
959
00:54:02,432 --> 00:54:04,632
but I make a pretty mean
cup of hot chocolate myself.
960
00:54:05,587 --> 00:54:08,282
Are you suggesting
a cocoa cook-off?
961
00:54:08,417 --> 00:54:10,405
I might be.
What do you say?
962
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,308
Challenge accepted.
963
00:54:13,343 --> 00:54:14,943
- You're going down.
- I don't think so.
964
00:54:18,349 --> 00:54:21,683
- Is yours ready?
- Alright.
965
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:24,453
No peeking, 'cause
this is a secret recipe.
966
00:54:24,488 --> 00:54:27,456
OK. Hey, eyes
on your own pot.
967
00:54:30,361 --> 00:54:33,495
So, have you been thinking
about a second book yet?
968
00:54:33,530 --> 00:54:35,497
Well, I have a notebook
full of ideas,
969
00:54:35,532 --> 00:54:37,466
but I'm not sure
I like any of them.
970
00:54:37,501 --> 00:54:39,668
There's got to be one idea
in there that you like.
971
00:54:39,703 --> 00:54:42,278
- Well, they're all fiction and...
- Your mom writes fiction.
972
00:54:44,274 --> 00:54:48,577
You know, you can't run away
from who you are.
973
00:54:48,612 --> 00:54:51,847
I'm just not sure I'm up
for all the comparison.
974
00:54:51,882 --> 00:54:55,984
Something tells me that
you can handle almost anything.
975
00:54:56,020 --> 00:54:59,021
Well, I think that
my hot chocolate is ready.
976
00:54:59,056 --> 00:55:01,023
Yeah. Mine too.
977
00:55:01,058 --> 00:55:02,991
Prepare to be wowed.
978
00:55:07,564 --> 00:55:11,033
You know, we're always gonna be
compared to someone.
979
00:55:11,068 --> 00:55:14,002
I'm competing against myself
every time I write a new book.
980
00:55:14,038 --> 00:55:16,204
Yeah. How's that going,
by the way?
981
00:55:17,358 --> 00:55:19,441
It isn't.
982
00:55:19,476 --> 00:55:21,928
It will.
I believe in you.
983
00:55:23,521 --> 00:55:25,836
You know, I think I'm gonna wait
for the book tour to end
984
00:55:25,871 --> 00:55:27,249
before I decide my next move.
985
00:55:27,284 --> 00:55:29,217
I think it's important
986
00:55:29,253 --> 00:55:31,064
to remember that you're creating
your own name here.
987
00:55:31,088 --> 00:55:34,312
In the future, there's gonna be
a whole new generation of readers
988
00:55:34,347 --> 00:55:37,774
who know Jeannine Jordan
only as Cassie Winslett's mom.
989
00:55:38,796 --> 00:55:40,874
Ever thought about becoming
a motivational speaker?
990
00:55:40,898 --> 00:55:42,731
Well...
991
00:55:42,766 --> 00:55:45,567
Alright, why don't we
switch and drink?
992
00:55:45,602 --> 00:55:47,269
- Sure.
- Alright.
993
00:55:48,508 --> 00:55:50,164
Wait, wait. Hold on.
994
00:55:57,256 --> 00:55:58,780
Is that peppermint?
995
00:55:58,816 --> 00:56:00,716
Very good.
996
00:56:03,987 --> 00:56:05,454
Spicy!
997
00:56:05,455 --> 00:56:09,558
Yeah. I put cinnamon in it
and then just a dash of cayenne.
998
00:56:09,593 --> 00:56:11,237
You know, I actually think
I like yours better.
999
00:56:11,261 --> 00:56:13,328
I think I prefer yours.
1000
00:56:14,314 --> 00:56:16,231
Alright, should we
call it a draw?
1001
00:56:16,266 --> 00:56:19,134
Well, there are no losers
when it comes to hot chocolate.
1002
00:56:19,169 --> 00:56:21,903
Cheers.
1003
00:56:30,481 --> 00:56:32,047
Hey, buddy.
1004
00:57:37,114 --> 00:57:40,249
Yeah, we got held up by the storm,
but we should be there this afternoon.
1005
00:57:40,250 --> 00:57:42,379
You'll have plenty of time
to see her.
1006
00:57:42,414 --> 00:57:45,420
Yes, Ally,
I'll call you when we get there.
1007
00:57:45,455 --> 00:57:48,190
OK, bye.
1008
00:57:48,225 --> 00:57:49,991
- Hey!
- Hey.
1009
00:57:50,027 --> 00:57:54,329
- Morning, sleepyhead.
- I fell asleep on you, didn't I?
1010
00:57:54,364 --> 00:57:57,739
Yeah. Just when I was telling you
a pivotal plot point in my new book.
1011
00:57:57,774 --> 00:58:01,503
- Are you serious?
- No. No, I...
1012
00:58:01,538 --> 00:58:04,940
- I wish.
- Thank you for this by the way.
1013
00:58:04,975 --> 00:58:07,909
Yeah, well, that wasn't me.
That was the dog.
1014
00:58:07,945 --> 00:58:10,378
Well, that was
very kind of you, Bungee.
1015
00:58:12,115 --> 00:58:15,684
You just looked so cozy,
I didn't want to wake you.
1016
00:58:18,956 --> 00:58:20,856
The roads are all clear,
1017
00:58:20,891 --> 00:58:22,936
so we should be good to get back
to civilization now.
1018
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,038
Well, I kind of like it here.
1019
00:58:26,730 --> 00:58:29,631
It won't take me long
to get ready.
1020
00:58:32,771 --> 00:58:34,369
I like it here, too.
1021
00:58:38,310 --> 00:58:39,491
Come on, Bungee.
1022
00:58:43,505 --> 00:58:44,873
Come on, Bungee!
1023
00:58:54,124 --> 00:58:56,892
I bet it's Piper
asking for our ETA.
1024
00:58:58,272 --> 00:59:01,796
And it's Piper asking
for an ETA.
1025
00:59:01,832 --> 00:59:03,943
Hey, Piper, what's up?
We were just talking about you.
1026
00:59:03,967 --> 00:59:06,268
Are you close?
We've got a full day ahead.
1027
00:59:06,303 --> 00:59:09,070
Unless Elliot suddenly decides
to drive like a grandmother,
1028
00:59:09,106 --> 00:59:11,673
we should be there
in about 30 minutes.
1029
00:59:11,708 --> 00:59:15,488
Great! Julian and I are already
at the inn. We'll meet you here.
1030
00:59:15,512 --> 00:59:20,181
- No more detours.
- We'll come straight there, I promise.
1031
00:59:22,686 --> 00:59:26,321
What? Do I have something
on my face?
1032
00:59:26,356 --> 00:59:28,990
- You've been reading my book.
- How do you know that?
1033
00:59:32,296 --> 00:59:34,663
So, what do you think?
1034
00:59:34,698 --> 00:59:36,709
I've been waiting very
impatiently for your thoughts.
1035
00:59:36,733 --> 00:59:38,466
Really? Mine?
1036
00:59:38,502 --> 00:59:40,001
Of course.
I respect your opinion.
1037
00:59:40,037 --> 00:59:41,803
Well, I haven't finished it yet.
1038
00:59:41,838 --> 00:59:44,339
Alright, well,
what do you think so far?
1039
00:59:44,374 --> 00:59:47,175
It's...
1040
00:59:47,210 --> 00:59:50,178
inventive and artistic.
1041
00:59:50,213 --> 00:59:54,015
And what really surprises me is
how realistic the characters are.
1042
00:59:54,051 --> 00:59:56,184
Like the queen...
1043
00:59:56,219 --> 00:59:58,486
- Klar-Al.
- Klar-Al.
1044
00:59:58,522 --> 01:00:02,168
Even she's faced with really hard
decisions, like leaving the dragon's lair,
1045
01:00:02,203 --> 01:00:03,525
you understand why she has to go.
1046
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,293
You do?
1047
01:00:05,329 --> 01:00:07,662
Yeah, of course.
I would do the same thing.
1048
01:00:07,698 --> 01:00:09,709
I mean, she can never reach
the height of her powers
1049
01:00:09,733 --> 01:00:11,183
...in the dragon's world.
1050
01:00:11,184 --> 01:00:13,241
Yeah, I never really thought
of it that way.
1051
01:00:13,276 --> 01:00:15,637
She's inspired by her ex.
1052
01:00:15,672 --> 01:00:17,539
Yeah, and I'm the dragon
she left behind.
1053
01:00:17,574 --> 01:00:19,541
I don't see you as a dragon.
1054
01:00:19,542 --> 01:00:21,644
Well, you haven't seen me
when I'm hungry.
1055
01:00:23,565 --> 01:00:24,754
Stop.
1056
01:00:24,789 --> 01:00:28,199
You know, I don't know
what you have planned next,
1057
01:00:28,234 --> 01:00:31,553
but I would have all of the main
characters travel back on their own,
1058
01:00:31,588 --> 01:00:33,555
instead of forcing them
back together.
1059
01:00:33,590 --> 01:00:35,490
It could make
for a more dynamic ending.
1060
01:00:35,525 --> 01:00:38,326
It's not a bad idea.
1061
01:00:50,907 --> 01:00:53,775
- We're so glad you're here.
- We were getting worried.
1062
01:00:53,810 --> 01:00:55,610
Welcome, Mr. Somersby.
1063
01:00:55,645 --> 01:00:57,846
I'll be taking care of your dog
during your stay.
1064
01:00:57,881 --> 01:01:00,081
I've been given a complete
run-down on her feeding
1065
01:01:00,117 --> 01:01:01,684
and her exercise program.
1066
01:01:01,685 --> 01:01:04,653
There is a dog bed and
blankets waiting in the room.
1067
01:01:04,654 --> 01:01:07,889
- She's in good hands.
- Great. Thank you so much.
1068
01:01:07,924 --> 01:01:11,059
Now I understand your list.
Extra blankets, water;
1069
01:01:11,094 --> 01:01:13,395
Bungee is the diva, not you.
1070
01:01:13,430 --> 01:01:16,264
- You figured it out.
- OK, Bungee, let's go.
1071
01:01:16,299 --> 01:01:18,633
We have an appointment
at the doggie day spa. Come on!
1072
01:01:18,668 --> 01:01:20,401
I want a spa appointment.
1073
01:01:20,402 --> 01:01:22,477
I don't think
there's gonna be time for that.
1074
01:01:22,512 --> 01:01:25,352
There's been some changes
to the itinerary.
1075
01:01:25,387 --> 01:01:28,245
In addition to the signing,
we've also added a radio interview.
1076
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,192
And then there's the Q and A
at the university tonight.
1077
01:01:30,216 --> 01:01:34,482
- We have to make up for lost time.
- Also congratulations, Elliot.
1078
01:01:34,518 --> 01:01:36,785
- For what?
- You've been awarded
1079
01:01:36,820 --> 01:01:39,842
the American Publishers'
Author of the Year Award.
1080
01:01:41,191 --> 01:01:43,324
The reception is in New York
in two weeks.
1081
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,137
Elliot, that's huge!
1082
01:01:45,262 --> 01:01:47,607
OK, go freshen up. We'll meet
back here in 45 minutes.
1083
01:01:47,631 --> 01:01:49,764
- They'll get your bags.
- OK.
1084
01:01:54,604 --> 01:01:57,672
Alright, you guys,
I ask all my guests
1085
01:01:57,707 --> 01:01:59,641
to join me in the Book Chat
Speed Round.
1086
01:01:59,676 --> 01:02:01,643
Now, the rules are
very, very simple.
1087
01:02:01,678 --> 01:02:03,645
Answer as many questions
as you can
1088
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,713
in under one minute.
Are you ready?
1089
01:02:05,749 --> 01:02:08,583
- Sure.
- OK, we're setting the timer.
1090
01:02:08,618 --> 01:02:11,152
And...
where do you like to write?
1091
01:02:11,188 --> 01:02:13,221
My best friend's coffee shop,
"Brewed by Becca"
1092
01:02:13,256 --> 01:02:14,589
...in Princeton, New Jersey!
1093
01:02:14,590 --> 01:02:17,358
- Elliot?
- Usually my laptop.
1094
01:02:17,394 --> 01:02:20,161
- Come on!
- That's not a real answer.
1095
01:02:20,197 --> 01:02:22,764
OK, favourite book that
you've read most recently?
1096
01:02:22,799 --> 01:02:26,050
"My Heartbreak Year"
by Cassie Winslett.
1097
01:02:26,051 --> 01:02:29,737
- Is that another joke answer?
- No. I've read it multiple times.
1098
01:02:29,773 --> 01:02:31,640
You have?
1099
01:02:31,641 --> 01:02:34,554
OK. Off that answer, what do you like
most about each other's writing?
1100
01:02:34,578 --> 01:02:36,845
His imagination.
1101
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,714
She makes me want to be
a better writer.
1102
01:02:42,319 --> 01:02:44,552
And that's our speed round.
1103
01:02:44,553 --> 01:02:47,422
I honestly don't know if we could've
topped that last answer anyway.
1104
01:02:48,030 --> 01:02:49,858
I'd like to give
a huge thank you
1105
01:02:49,893 --> 01:02:52,127
to Cassie Winslett
and Elliot Somersby.
1106
01:02:52,162 --> 01:02:54,095
Thank you guys
so much for coming on.
1107
01:02:54,131 --> 01:02:57,699
- Thanks for having us.
- And we're off.
1108
01:02:57,734 --> 01:03:01,236
Thanks. That was a blast.
1109
01:03:01,271 --> 01:03:03,271
I'm sorry, I just gotta
return this call.
1110
01:03:03,306 --> 01:03:04,806
Yeah.
1111
01:03:08,495 --> 01:03:10,311
That was really incredible
what you said,
1112
01:03:10,347 --> 01:03:12,380
but you have
your own book to promote,
1113
01:03:12,415 --> 01:03:14,382
you don't have to pretend
to be into mine.
1114
01:03:14,417 --> 01:03:16,417
I didn't. I meant
every word of it.
1115
01:03:17,294 --> 01:03:19,087
- Really?
- Yeah.
1116
01:03:20,536 --> 01:03:24,759
But I do have to go. I'm late.
I gotta drop Bungee off to Allison.
1117
01:03:24,794 --> 01:03:26,561
But I'll see you at the Q and A?
1118
01:03:26,596 --> 01:03:29,664
Great!
1119
01:03:29,699 --> 01:03:31,933
I can't wait to send these
pictures to your roommate.
1120
01:03:31,968 --> 01:03:35,003
- You and Becca are friends?!
- Yeah, we text all the time.
1121
01:03:35,038 --> 01:03:36,638
She reached out about your website,
1122
01:03:36,639 --> 01:03:38,795
and now we're constantly
trading photos.
1123
01:03:38,796 --> 01:03:40,728
The three of us should have
a girl's night when we get back.
1124
01:03:40,752 --> 01:03:41,542
Yeah, sure.
1125
01:03:41,909 --> 01:03:43,344
Where did Elliot go?
1126
01:03:43,380 --> 01:03:47,081
He went to go see his ex.
She wants to see the dog.
1127
01:03:48,852 --> 01:03:51,152
What does "huh" mean?
1128
01:03:51,188 --> 01:03:53,288
I'm just really impressed
that they get along.
1129
01:03:53,323 --> 01:03:56,858
I mean, he was crushed when she left.
I think he blames himself.
1130
01:03:58,670 --> 01:04:00,428
How did it end?
1131
01:04:01,495 --> 01:04:03,895
He spent more time working on
his book than his relationship,
1132
01:04:03,926 --> 01:04:04,877
...and one succeeded and one failed.
1133
01:04:04,901 --> 01:04:07,135
I guess it's just how it goes.
1134
01:04:07,170 --> 01:04:09,237
Let's get a coffee.
1135
01:04:14,069 --> 01:04:16,514
Alright, we have time
for a few more questions.
1136
01:04:17,347 --> 01:04:20,234
- You in the second row.
- This question is for Cassie.
1137
01:04:20,317 --> 01:04:23,791
Which adventure was your favourite
and which was the hardest to do?
1138
01:04:23,826 --> 01:04:26,514
Which adventure was
my favourite?
1139
01:04:29,092 --> 01:04:31,693
I'm gonna answer
your second question first.
1140
01:04:32,028 --> 01:04:35,163
The hardest was going out
to dinner by myself.
1141
01:04:35,198 --> 01:04:37,131
I don't mean just
sitting at a bar
1142
01:04:37,167 --> 01:04:39,312
scrolling through your phone
trying to look busy, alone.
1143
01:04:39,336 --> 01:04:42,337
You all know
what I'm talking about.
1144
01:04:42,372 --> 01:04:45,173
I challenged myself
to go out to dinner,
1145
01:04:45,208 --> 01:04:47,742
to sit at a table
with no book, and no phone,
1146
01:04:47,777 --> 01:04:49,844
and just enjoy being there.
1147
01:04:49,879 --> 01:04:52,313
Which was
surprisingly difficult.
1148
01:04:52,349 --> 01:04:55,350
But it also became
my favourite adventure.
1149
01:04:55,385 --> 01:04:59,753
I appreciated the food more,
I made friends with strangers,
1150
01:04:59,904 --> 01:05:03,906
and, most importantly,
I felt good about myself.
1151
01:05:03,941 --> 01:05:05,526
I challenge you all to try it.
1152
01:05:09,601 --> 01:05:11,475
Well, I have one more question.
1153
01:05:11,659 --> 01:05:14,914
Elliot, it's my understanding
that after the signing tonight,
1154
01:05:14,938 --> 01:05:16,738
this is the end of the book tour...
1155
01:05:16,773 --> 01:05:19,774
Yeah. Yeah. It went by fast.
1156
01:05:19,809 --> 01:05:22,543
Yeah, it did.
1157
01:05:22,579 --> 01:05:25,380
- What do you plan to do after?
- Write.
1158
01:05:27,284 --> 01:05:29,417
I mean, you're all waiting
for the third book, right?
1159
01:05:33,923 --> 01:05:36,003
Anything you want to tell us
about your final book?
1160
01:05:37,927 --> 01:05:41,296
As someone who just finished
reading his second book,
1161
01:05:41,331 --> 01:05:43,731
I'm not even thinking
about a third.
1162
01:05:43,767 --> 01:05:46,132
I'm gonna read the first
and second book over again.
1163
01:05:46,167 --> 01:05:48,269
Who's with me?
1164
01:05:51,007 --> 01:05:54,091
Cassie Winslett
and Elliot Somersby!
1165
01:05:57,553 --> 01:06:00,581
- Thank you for the save.
- I owed you one.
1166
01:06:03,153 --> 01:06:06,421
That was a long day.
Well done, everyone.
1167
01:06:06,456 --> 01:06:09,123
- Who wants to celebrate?
- Actually, I was...
1168
01:06:09,159 --> 01:06:11,159
I was gonna show Cassie
around the city.
1169
01:06:11,194 --> 01:06:13,120
That's OK, we can go together.
1170
01:06:14,297 --> 01:06:16,931
Julian, we should go.
We have a lot of work to do still.
1171
01:06:16,966 --> 01:06:19,233
- We do?
- Yeah.
1172
01:06:19,269 --> 01:06:21,736
Sure. We have tons of work.
Have fun, you two.
1173
01:06:21,771 --> 01:06:24,639
Let go.
Let me know where you are.
1174
01:06:24,674 --> 01:06:25,841
Julian!
1175
01:06:25,842 --> 01:06:28,743
OK. You can pin it on the phone.
There's a setting for pinning.
1176
01:06:28,778 --> 01:06:33,715
Julian!
1177
01:06:37,721 --> 01:06:41,022
You know, I never thought
I'd say this,
1178
01:06:41,057 --> 01:06:43,925
but I don't want
this book tour to end.
1179
01:06:45,562 --> 01:06:47,328
Neither do I.
1180
01:06:49,366 --> 01:06:51,265
So...
1181
01:06:51,301 --> 01:06:54,335
- I've been thinking...
- Yeah, so have I.
1182
01:06:54,371 --> 01:06:56,738
- You go first.
- No. You, please.
1183
01:06:58,742 --> 01:07:01,609
I think I'm gonna stick
around here for a little while.
1184
01:07:02,223 --> 01:07:05,780
I want to give Allison and Bungee
just some more time together.
1185
01:07:05,815 --> 01:07:11,352
Yeah, I totally understand.
That's very... responsible.
1186
01:07:14,224 --> 01:07:18,559
Allison asked me to drop
Bungee off tomorrow morning.
1187
01:07:18,595 --> 01:07:21,462
So, I won't see you tomorrow.
1188
01:07:24,267 --> 01:07:28,536
This is our last night together.
1189
01:07:33,076 --> 01:07:36,010
I'm sorry, what was it that
you wanted to say to me?
1190
01:07:36,045 --> 01:07:39,280
I was just... gonna say...
1191
01:07:40,750 --> 01:07:44,786
...that I'm starving, and we
should have a farewell meal.
1192
01:07:46,672 --> 01:07:52,333
- Yeah. I'd love that.
- Yeah, I would love that, too.
1193
01:07:53,129 --> 01:07:55,363
- Hey, Cassie.
- Yeah?
1194
01:07:57,641 --> 01:08:02,270
Thank you for making this
the best tour that I've ever had.
1195
01:08:07,181 --> 01:08:08,643
Let's go eat.
1196
01:08:28,682 --> 01:08:29,840
Hello?
1197
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:34,001
Becca? Is anyone here?
1198
01:08:34,037 --> 01:08:36,804
Surprise!
1199
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,073
What?!
1200
01:08:39,108 --> 01:08:41,008
Welcome home, sweetheart!
1201
01:08:41,044 --> 01:08:43,611
- What is all this?
- It's your Welcome Home Party!
1202
01:08:43,646 --> 01:08:46,330
- I can't believe you did all this.
- It was your mom's idea.
1203
01:08:46,365 --> 01:08:48,062
You were so nervous about the tour,
1204
01:08:48,097 --> 01:08:50,852
and then you went out
and you won over everyone.
1205
01:08:50,887 --> 01:08:52,854
- I am so happy for you.
- Thanks, Mom.
1206
01:08:52,889 --> 01:08:56,880
Your social media's on fire.
You have to check out your website.
1207
01:08:57,894 --> 01:09:02,530
So, some are the ones you sent me
and others, your fans tagged.
1208
01:09:02,565 --> 01:09:04,482
And the rest came from Piper.
1209
01:09:04,483 --> 01:09:08,503
That one,
that's my favourite.
1210
01:09:08,538 --> 01:09:11,305
I don't even recognize myself.
1211
01:09:11,341 --> 01:09:14,008
Well, that's because
you don't see what we see.
1212
01:09:14,043 --> 01:09:17,111
OK, I'm gonna get us
something to drink.
1213
01:09:20,250 --> 01:09:22,183
This one is my favourite.
1214
01:09:27,690 --> 01:09:30,658
That was from
the last night of the tour.
1215
01:09:30,693 --> 01:09:32,793
You fell in love, didn't you?
1216
01:09:32,829 --> 01:09:36,364
- I didn't mean to.
- We never do.
1217
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:38,499
- Do you want to talk about it?
- No.
1218
01:09:38,535 --> 01:09:41,035
No, there's nothing
to talk about. He's...
1219
01:09:41,070 --> 01:09:43,070
He's in Buffalo.
It's where his ex is.
1220
01:09:43,903 --> 01:09:45,072
That's ironic.
1221
01:09:45,108 --> 01:09:47,520
Maybe he should read your book
for pointers on how to move on.
1222
01:09:47,544 --> 01:09:49,710
He did. A few times.
1223
01:09:49,746 --> 01:09:52,246
You know, it's fine.
I'm being silly.
1224
01:09:52,282 --> 01:09:54,715
We were just two writers
on a tour, so...
1225
01:09:54,751 --> 01:09:58,686
Hey, there's no tears
at your own party.
1226
01:09:58,721 --> 01:10:01,422
Yep. You're right.
1227
01:10:01,457 --> 01:10:04,525
- Come on, time to celebrate.
- Yes.
1228
01:10:04,561 --> 01:10:07,228
Thank you all
so much for being here.
1229
01:10:08,965 --> 01:10:11,732
I'm so lucky to have
such a great group of friends.
1230
01:10:11,768 --> 01:10:15,545
Mom, thank you.
1231
01:10:15,580 --> 01:10:16,877
You know, your...
1232
01:10:16,912 --> 01:10:20,513
your notes on all of my book
reports were overkill...
1233
01:10:20,548 --> 01:10:25,046
...but you made me who I am,
so thank you.
1234
01:10:25,081 --> 01:10:27,081
Cheers to you.
1235
01:10:27,547 --> 01:10:30,718
Cheers!
1236
01:10:33,489 --> 01:10:38,793
Did I ever tell you that I became
a writer to avoid going into medicine?
1237
01:10:38,828 --> 01:10:40,561
You were gonna be a doctor?
1238
01:10:40,597 --> 01:10:42,597
Your grandfather had this dream
1239
01:10:42,632 --> 01:10:44,398
that I was gonna join
his medical practice.
1240
01:10:44,434 --> 01:10:46,634
I didn't know that.
1241
01:10:46,669 --> 01:10:49,303
Yeah, he was so beloved
and so respected,
1242
01:10:49,339 --> 01:10:53,359
and I thought I could never live up
to any of his accomplishments.
1243
01:10:53,394 --> 01:10:57,244
So, I told him
that I was studying medicine,
1244
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,146
but secretly I was writing.
1245
01:10:59,182 --> 01:11:02,116
- I bet grandpa was so upset.
- He was.
1246
01:11:02,151 --> 01:11:06,287
Not that I was deceiving him,
but because I didn't try.
1247
01:11:06,322 --> 01:11:09,390
I thought I could never be
as good as he was,
1248
01:11:09,425 --> 01:11:11,058
so I just avoided
medicine altogether.
1249
01:11:11,094 --> 01:11:13,728
What are you telling me, Mom?
1250
01:11:13,763 --> 01:11:16,763
I know it can't be easy
for you being compared to me,
1251
01:11:17,072 --> 01:11:19,324
but instead of running away
from your dream,
1252
01:11:19,359 --> 01:11:21,602
you're still going for it,
1253
01:11:21,638 --> 01:11:25,272
and you've handled it
with such grace.
1254
01:11:25,308 --> 01:11:27,274
Honey, I was never that brave.
1255
01:11:27,310 --> 01:11:29,977
Mom, you're the bravest person
that I know.
1256
01:11:30,013 --> 01:11:33,314
Keep writing.
It's what you're meant to do.
1257
01:11:34,951 --> 01:11:38,653
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
1258
01:11:47,530 --> 01:11:49,730
- Hey, roomie.
- Hey.
1259
01:11:52,869 --> 01:11:56,103
Wait. Weren't you
in that same spot when I left?
1260
01:11:56,139 --> 01:11:58,873
I hit a groove and I can't stop.
1261
01:11:58,908 --> 01:12:01,042
- What are you working on?
- A new book.
1262
01:12:01,077 --> 01:12:03,044
- It's a novel.
- Really?
1263
01:12:05,048 --> 01:12:07,348
I still haven't figured out
the ending yet.
1264
01:12:07,383 --> 01:12:09,283
- It's not about dragons, is it?
- No way.
1265
01:12:09,318 --> 01:12:12,687
OK, good.
Speaking of...
1266
01:12:12,722 --> 01:12:16,791
No, I haven't heard from him,
and I'd be surprised if I ever do.
1267
01:12:16,826 --> 01:12:19,326
That's not what I was
gonna say.
1268
01:12:19,362 --> 01:12:21,796
I got an alert about
this new Elliot interview.
1269
01:12:24,233 --> 01:12:27,635
I'm sorry.
You get alerts about Elliot?
1270
01:12:27,670 --> 01:12:30,963
I set up alerts about the two of you
when you were going on tour,
1271
01:12:30,998 --> 01:12:32,847
and I just haven't
changed my settings yet.
1272
01:12:32,848 --> 01:12:34,041
Yeah, OK. Sure. Great.
1273
01:12:34,077 --> 01:12:36,310
- Alright.
- OK, watch.
1274
01:12:36,345 --> 01:12:38,546
Am I bringing a date
to the Awards?
1275
01:12:40,683 --> 01:12:43,284
Let's just say
that I'm working on it.
1276
01:12:44,887 --> 01:12:48,211
He's working on it! That's code
for he doesn't have a date.
1277
01:12:48,246 --> 01:12:52,059
Or it's just proof
that instead of moving on,
1278
01:12:52,095 --> 01:12:54,595
he is working things out
with his ex.
1279
01:12:54,630 --> 01:12:59,333
OK, this might be our first
friend fight, 'cause I disagree.
1280
01:13:00,937 --> 01:13:02,903
OK.
1281
01:13:15,852 --> 01:13:18,386
- Hey, look who's here!
- Piper?
1282
01:13:18,421 --> 01:13:20,204
This place is so cute!
1283
01:13:20,205 --> 01:13:22,323
I can't believe we finally
get to meet in person.
1284
01:13:22,358 --> 01:13:24,325
I know! We talked
so much during the tour,
1285
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:26,294
feels like I've known you forever.
1286
01:13:26,329 --> 01:13:28,307
- That pic you sent...
- The one of them laughing?
1287
01:13:28,331 --> 01:13:30,932
- It got so many "likes".
- Nice!
1288
01:13:30,967 --> 01:13:32,967
I don't mean to interrupt
girl-bonding time,
1289
01:13:33,002 --> 01:13:36,156
which I'm loving by the way,
but what are you doing in Princetown?
1290
01:13:36,191 --> 01:13:38,606
I mean, I know
our winter mocha latte is good,
1291
01:13:38,641 --> 01:13:40,575
but I don't know
if it's leave-the-city good.
1292
01:13:40,610 --> 01:13:43,611
No, they are that good, actually.
1293
01:13:43,646 --> 01:13:45,947
Your presence has been requested
1294
01:13:45,982 --> 01:13:47,902
at the American Publishers
Awards tomorrow night.
1295
01:13:48,976 --> 01:13:50,318
The one Elliot's receiving?
1296
01:13:51,005 --> 01:13:52,570
MacDonner Press has a table,
1297
01:13:52,571 --> 01:13:55,752
and it's my job to make sure
you look the part of hot new writer.
1298
01:13:55,787 --> 01:13:59,193
- What does that look like?
- It has less coffee stains.
1299
01:14:01,498 --> 01:14:03,631
I haven't
seen him since Buffalo.
1300
01:14:03,666 --> 01:14:06,000
I feel like I imagined
the entire trip.
1301
01:14:06,035 --> 01:14:08,636
You didn't imagine anything.
1302
01:14:08,671 --> 01:14:11,606
He's gonna be excited to see you.
1303
01:14:11,641 --> 01:14:15,276
Trust me.
1304
01:14:26,575 --> 01:14:28,201
How's the man of the hour?
1305
01:14:28,525 --> 01:14:30,558
Fine.
1306
01:14:30,593 --> 01:14:32,894
It's a little...
it's a little fancy.
1307
01:14:32,929 --> 01:14:35,838
Usually, my fans
are dressed in costume.
1308
01:14:35,873 --> 01:14:37,899
Do you have your speech?
1309
01:14:37,934 --> 01:14:40,468
- Yeah.
- Great.
1310
01:14:49,979 --> 01:14:51,679
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
1311
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:00,697
Hi.
1312
01:15:01,325 --> 01:15:02,289
Hi.
1313
01:15:06,696 --> 01:15:08,614
I'm gonna go find our table.
1314
01:15:12,268 --> 01:15:14,535
You look incredible.
1315
01:15:15,832 --> 01:15:17,605
You're not so bad yourself.
1316
01:15:18,533 --> 01:15:22,347
Good evening, all.
Will everyone please take their seats.
1317
01:15:22,382 --> 01:15:24,745
I think that's our cue.
1318
01:15:27,222 --> 01:15:30,551
- Me?
- Of course. Who else?
1319
01:15:35,825 --> 01:15:38,092
Cassie, it's wonderful
to see you.
1320
01:15:38,127 --> 01:15:40,094
I'm very happy to be here.
1321
01:15:40,129 --> 01:15:42,096
We have a lot to celebrate:
1322
01:15:42,131 --> 01:15:44,699
a successful book tour,
your rising sales,
1323
01:15:44,734 --> 01:15:48,903
and... MacDonner Press
extending your publishing deal.
1324
01:15:48,938 --> 01:15:51,639
Really? Thank you.
1325
01:15:51,674 --> 01:15:54,241
I'm so sorry. I just...
I got really excited.
1326
01:15:54,277 --> 01:15:55,677
That's great news.
1327
01:15:55,678 --> 01:15:57,078
Ladies and gentlemen,
1328
01:15:57,113 --> 01:16:02,283
thank you and welcome to this
evening's Awards' presentation.
1329
01:16:02,318 --> 01:16:05,953
I am thrilled
to present this year's
1330
01:16:05,989 --> 01:16:10,524
American Publishers Author
of the Year, Elliot Somersby.
1331
01:16:20,036 --> 01:16:22,003
Thank you.
Thanks very much.
1332
01:16:22,038 --> 01:16:24,372
Thank you.
1333
01:16:25,808 --> 01:16:30,411
What an honour, thank you.
Thank you so much.
1334
01:16:30,446 --> 01:16:35,583
I'd like to thank the American
Publishers for this incredible award.
1335
01:16:35,618 --> 01:16:40,588
As some of you might know,
I just recently wrapped a book tour.
1336
01:16:40,823 --> 01:16:46,296
While on the road, I realized that
even though writing is a solitary craft,
1337
01:16:47,196 --> 01:16:49,230
I couldn't have done it alone.
1338
01:16:51,067 --> 01:16:54,268
I'd like to thank
Gwendolyn MacDonner
1339
01:16:54,303 --> 01:16:56,237
and the entire team
at MacDonner Press.
1340
01:17:04,580 --> 01:17:06,013
And I'd like to thank Allison
1341
01:17:06,049 --> 01:17:09,016
for always encouraging me
to keep writing,
1342
01:17:09,052 --> 01:17:12,353
even when I was just
a wannabe writer.
1343
01:17:12,388 --> 01:17:16,857
When I was working
on my first book, she, she just...
1344
01:17:16,893 --> 01:17:19,293
She was always there for me.
1345
01:17:19,328 --> 01:17:24,265
I am so sorry. I don't feel
very well, I think I should go.
1346
01:17:34,577 --> 01:17:36,644
Sorry. If you'll just bear
with me for a second,
1347
01:17:36,679 --> 01:17:38,512
I have so many people
I'd like to thank.
1348
01:17:47,609 --> 01:17:49,690
Finally, I would like
to thank my fans
1349
01:17:49,726 --> 01:17:51,726
who I wouldn't be here without.
1350
01:17:51,761 --> 01:17:54,595
So, thank you, everyone.
1351
01:17:54,630 --> 01:17:57,465
This award truly is an honour.
Thank you.
1352
01:17:57,500 --> 01:17:59,767
Thank you.
1353
01:18:03,239 --> 01:18:05,039
Hey.
1354
01:18:05,074 --> 01:18:07,541
- Where's Cassie?
- She didn't feel well.
1355
01:18:07,577 --> 01:18:09,477
- Take this.
- Yeah.
1356
01:18:09,512 --> 01:18:12,446
Hi. Thank you.
1357
01:18:12,482 --> 01:18:15,683
- Thank you so much.
- Congratulations!
1358
01:18:27,263 --> 01:18:29,263
Are you sure
you heard him correctly?
1359
01:18:29,298 --> 01:18:34,001
Yes. He made a point
of thanking his ex.
1360
01:18:36,038 --> 01:18:38,105
Are they back together?
1361
01:18:38,141 --> 01:18:40,474
I don't know. He's just...
He's not over her.
1362
01:18:42,545 --> 01:18:46,239
You know, I actually convinced
myself that he felt the same way.
1363
01:18:46,274 --> 01:18:49,250
And I got all dressed up, and...
1364
01:18:50,787 --> 01:18:53,954
I just... I felt so foolish
I had to leave.
1365
01:18:53,990 --> 01:18:57,158
If it makes you feel any better,
you looked beautiful.
1366
01:19:02,665 --> 01:19:05,232
Some heartbreak expert
I turned out to be, huh?
1367
01:19:12,675 --> 01:19:15,643
OK, let's go or we'll be late!
1368
01:19:16,555 --> 01:19:17,745
Is that Elliot again?
1369
01:19:18,791 --> 01:19:22,049
He's been calling non-stop for three
days; are you ever gonna answer?
1370
01:19:22,084 --> 01:19:23,896
Until I know what to say,
that phone is staying
1371
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,587
...in my pocket. Let's go.
1372
01:19:25,864 --> 01:19:27,240
Fair enough.
1373
01:19:44,307 --> 01:19:46,307
OK.
1374
01:19:46,342 --> 01:19:48,676
- Nice!
- Alright.
1375
01:19:48,711 --> 01:19:50,087
Let's go get ready.
1376
01:19:53,948 --> 01:19:55,552
Thank you all so much for coming
1377
01:19:55,553 --> 01:19:57,956
to what I consider to be
my do-over signing.
1378
01:19:58,821 --> 01:20:02,256
This bookstore means a lot to me.
I basically grew up here.
1379
01:20:02,291 --> 01:20:04,992
I bought my very first book here
with my allowance money.
1380
01:20:05,027 --> 01:20:10,137
And I also kicked off
my first book tour here,
1381
01:20:10,172 --> 01:20:12,516
though I didn't know it at the time.
1382
01:20:12,551 --> 01:20:13,634
I'd also like to announce
1383
01:20:13,669 --> 01:20:16,103
that I'm officially coming out
with a second book.
1384
01:20:18,729 --> 01:20:22,643
Thanks to all of your support,
I am actually writing a novel,
1385
01:20:22,678 --> 01:20:27,348
and I believe that a sneak peek of my
very first chapter is on my website.
1386
01:20:27,383 --> 01:20:31,952
Just saying that this novel has been
a labour of love is an understatement.
1387
01:20:33,656 --> 01:20:36,023
And it looks
like we have a question.
1388
01:20:36,058 --> 01:20:39,493
- Take it.
- OK. A question in the back?
1389
01:20:39,528 --> 01:20:42,829
Yeah, I know that this book is fiction,
1390
01:20:42,830 --> 01:20:45,986
but the pages on your website,
they seem kind of real.
1391
01:20:46,021 --> 01:20:49,099
I was wondering
what the influence was.
1392
01:20:49,704 --> 01:20:54,751
Well, sir,
the book is inspired by a...
1393
01:20:54,752 --> 01:20:58,629
a road trip I took
on my very first book tour.
1394
01:20:58,630 --> 01:21:01,882
And, who is the influence
for your dashing leading man?
1395
01:21:01,918 --> 01:21:05,946
I don't believe that I used
the term "dashing" to describe him.
1396
01:21:05,981 --> 01:21:07,792
I mean, that was just implied.
1397
01:21:07,827 --> 01:21:11,480
Well, he was based on the writer
I went on tour with, loosely.
1398
01:21:11,515 --> 01:21:13,171
Elliot Somersby,
maybe you've heard of him?
1399
01:21:13,195 --> 01:21:16,730
I have actually. He's a very,
very talented writer.
1400
01:21:18,367 --> 01:21:21,201
So have you... have you thought
of an ending yet?
1401
01:21:21,237 --> 01:21:23,104
I'm still working on that.
1402
01:21:23,105 --> 01:21:25,632
Well, maybe your dashing
leading man could help you out.
1403
01:21:25,667 --> 01:21:26,551
You know, I actually think
1404
01:21:26,575 --> 01:21:28,787
that he has been too busy
in his own personal life to help.
1405
01:21:28,811 --> 01:21:30,577
So if anyone else
has questions...
1406
01:21:30,613 --> 01:21:33,013
- Yeah, I have another one.
- Wait, what are you doing?
1407
01:21:33,049 --> 01:21:35,449
It's fun. I've never been
on this side before.
1408
01:21:35,484 --> 01:21:38,385
I mean, no, what are you doing here?
What about Allison?
1409
01:21:38,421 --> 01:21:41,055
Allison?
1410
01:21:41,090 --> 01:21:44,558
- We're not together.
- But your speech.
1411
01:21:44,593 --> 01:21:46,126
Is that why you left?
1412
01:21:46,955 --> 01:21:49,129
Why don't we take five,
1413
01:21:49,165 --> 01:21:50,709
and those of you who'd like
to line up for the book signing,
1414
01:21:50,733 --> 01:21:54,768
Cassie will be with you shortly.
1415
01:21:56,105 --> 01:21:58,772
Allison and I,
we're just trying to be friends.
1416
01:21:58,808 --> 01:22:00,641
That's it.
1417
01:22:00,676 --> 01:22:02,776
You were the one
that I wanted there that night.
1418
01:22:02,812 --> 01:22:04,778
You did? But...
1419
01:22:04,814 --> 01:22:07,147
I invited you.
1420
01:22:07,183 --> 01:22:09,383
I just wanted it to be a surprise.
1421
01:22:09,418 --> 01:22:12,826
It just seemed like you had a lot
that you needed to work through.
1422
01:22:12,861 --> 01:22:16,991
Yeah, well, I did.
And I needed to do it alone.
1423
01:22:17,026 --> 01:22:21,962
I needed to get over myself.
I needed to write.
1424
01:22:21,998 --> 01:22:25,799
I needed to stop living
in the past, move forward.
1425
01:22:25,835 --> 01:22:29,236
I was able to do that
because of you.
1426
01:22:29,271 --> 01:22:31,472
Because of your book.
1427
01:22:31,507 --> 01:22:33,974
And if you'd stayed
for my entire speech...
1428
01:22:35,845 --> 01:22:37,712
...this is what you would have heard:
1429
01:22:38,293 --> 01:22:41,260
"Every story has a hero.
1430
01:22:41,784 --> 01:22:46,086
"A character who enchants us
and challenges us,
1431
01:22:46,122 --> 01:22:48,789
"who inspires us
to be better people,
1432
01:22:48,824 --> 01:22:54,294
"who makes us see the world
in a whole new light.
1433
01:22:54,330 --> 01:22:57,097
"And I wouldn't be
up here tonight
1434
01:22:57,133 --> 01:22:59,533
"if it wasn't
for the hero in my life,
1435
01:22:59,568 --> 01:23:01,602
Cassie Winslett".
1436
01:23:03,839 --> 01:23:05,773
You see, Cassie, I...
1437
01:23:05,808 --> 01:23:07,841
I didn't just fall in love
with your writing...
1438
01:23:09,745 --> 01:23:11,745
I fell in love with you.
1439
01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:18,005
I love you, Cassie Winslett, and I...
1440
01:23:18,782 --> 01:23:20,354
I hope that you love me back.
1441
01:23:21,630 --> 01:23:24,291
I have loved you since
the very first book signing.
1442
01:23:25,051 --> 01:23:28,629
Well, then I guess this is
a great place to do this.
1443
01:23:39,258 --> 01:23:42,349
I just have one more surprise.
1444
01:23:45,181 --> 01:23:46,980
- Bungee!
- Bungee, come here!
1445
01:23:47,016 --> 01:23:49,083
Come here.
She didn't want to miss this.
1446
01:23:49,118 --> 01:23:52,419
This next joint book tour
is going to be huge!
1447
01:23:52,455 --> 01:23:54,488
We're going to need
to double the appearances.
1448
01:23:54,523 --> 01:23:57,324
- I like that idea.
- You like that idea?
1449
01:24:03,325 --> 01:24:09,325
