-Manu! You calling it already?

It's not even 8:00.

-Ah, can't be late for my
first day at my new role.

What's up?

-Yeah, well...

don't let that promotion
go to your head, Mister.

-Pfft. My family, no chance.

Hey. It's Mister
Manager to you now.

I am not
calling you that.

-Come on, give it a try.
It's got a nice ring.

-Just... don't mess
it up, Mister Manager.

- See you.
- You too.

-Aloha Kakou.

It is our great
honor to welcome you

to our new family-run resort.

One that we have
blessed to take over.

Mahalo nui.

-It is our mission
to keep the small,

boutique resort alive
and well on our island.

And it is our honor to
celebrate that with you.

So... without further
ado, e komo mai!

-Noa. Why won't
you let me help?

-You're too small, Manu.

You gotta wait until you're
big and strong like me.

-Who says?

-Mom and Dad.

-See? You need me.

-No, Tutu needs you.
She's looking for you.

-Tutu, Noa said you
wanted to see me.

-Manu, come child.

-Did you know that the
spirits of our ancestors

are in every leaf and flower?

That is why when we
take care of the land

we honor our ancestors.

In return, they
gift us with mana,

which is a special kind
of wisdom and strength.

I can already see that in you.

-Then why won't they
let me do anything?

-Maybe what they're
doing is not for you.

-But I wanna help.

Don't worry, ku'u keke.

One day you're gonna be expected

to do a lot of
things around here.

-My prediction...

the sample's gonna test
cleanest it has in 10 years.

Then we've done our
job and then some.

-Why do I feel like I'm
sending my kid off to college?

So proud, but...
a little misty.

Just not used to leaving
before the final results.

-'Cause you're an eco geek who
has a hard time unplugging.

-What are you talking about?
I'm barely on social media.

-From work.

-Oh. Well, that may be
true but that's freelance.

Gotta take the
gig when it comes.

-Doesn't look like our work

is gonna dry up any
time soon, sadly.

-Did you just make a water pun?

Unintentionally. But yes.

-But seriously, you
know I'd never normally

cut a job short if it weren't
for my best friend's wedding.

-I know.

-Are you sure?

-Considering you've said yes to
every project I've offered you

in the last...
what, five years?

-Give or take.

-Without a proper
break? Yes, I'm sure.

-Okay, good.

-Now go.

Relax.

-This is my first time
being a Maid of Honor.

You really think it's
gonna be relaxing?

-In Hawaii? Yes!

Everything is relaxing.
Provided you get there on time.

Okay, well you'll
email me the results

and keep me posted
on our next gig?

- What do you think?
- Of course.

I'm going.

Alright.

-You know what? I actually
have plenty of time.

Way more than I
thought I'd have.

So... maybe I could help pack
up, follow you back to the lab?

How's that?

-Unacceptable.

-What, why?

-'Cause it's the
opposite of island time.

-Well, I'm not there yet.

-You clearly need a head start.

So... go!

-Wish me luck.

-Have fun!

-Good morning. Aloha.

Welcome to the Hale
Hoaloha resort.

I am Manu, one of your
two resort managers.

If you need anything
during your stay,

please don't hesitate to ask.
- Okay.

-Enjoy.

-Hey Shrimp.

-You know, I've been
taller than you for years.

You might wanna come
up with a new nickname.

-Kinda attached to
this one by now, bro.

Okay, well just don't use it
where the guests can hear. Okay?

Gotta keep it professional, bro.

-How is your first day
going, Mister Manager?

-Oh, no complaints.

Uh, just lots of
ideas to run by you.

-Ooh.

And as much as I'd love to
stay and hear all of them,

I got bigger fish to fry.

-Hey, at least you
didn't say shrimp.

-Hey! Hey! Hey guys, hey!

-Sorry!

You didn't have to
wait, but thank you.

-We weren't gonna
leave without you.

-Who knew there would be
so much traffic at lunch?

People...

who actually take lunch
breaks every now and then.

-Well, I am here now
and ready to help

with any and
everything you need.

-Luckily for you
we're actually good.

-Seriously? I thought
you said so much to do.

-There was.

But Michael jumped
in like a champ,

only mildly cursing my
color-coded checklist.

And Tessa and Cait
helped out a lot too.

So... we're actually
in good shape.

-That's great!

Well, I'm so glad but I'm
sorry I couldn't help more.

-No, no. Stop saying sorry.

You can't help
your work schedule.

I'm just glad that you took
the rest of the week off.

-Oh, you know I
wouldn't miss it.

-You missed mine.

I'm kidding.

I know you were out at sea

doing something
selfless and important.

-Oil cleanup in the Gulf.

-See? Important.

-You better not miss my wedding.

-Uh...

-Wait. You and
Levi are engaged?

-Nope. I'm just giving
you fair warning.

-Okay, phew. I didn't think
I was that outta touch.

Oh, it's finally here.
You're getting married!

-On the beach!

-In Hawaii!

-So we all better be ready.

'cause it's time to
get this party started!

♪ You know that I would
do anything for you ♪

♪ Come along to the...

♪ You know that I would
do anything for you ♪

-Oh my gosh.

-I cannot believe you're
getting married here.

-Stunning. Right?

-Wow.

-Are you talking about me?

I have been working out
a little more than usual.

So... all for you though.

I'll go check us in.

-Oh, I love you,
Michael. You're the best.

I know. I know.

-Uh... oh...

-I know we've been doing
a lot of band-aid fixes

over the last few years, so...

I came up with a list of
upgrades, improvements,

all priced out...

-Whoa, whoa, Manu. Slow
down, it's day one.

-As manager.

But I've been... I've been
shadowing Noa forever.

-Manu, we love your enthusiasm

but now is not the time
to talk improvements.

-We just want you to focus
on getting up to speed.

-I can multi-task.

-Ah, but the guests come first.

-Okay, yeah.

-Can you imagine how much water it
takes to keep all this so green?

-No. And neither should you.

It's not like we're
in the high desert.

-Not a good point.

-I know. But... no more
work or work talk this week.

Remember?

-Yeah, yeah.

-You're between jobs.

-Hmm, not a relaxing thought.

-For, like, a hot minute.

So just try and turn
off your beautiful brain

and enjoy doing... nothing.

- Right. Totally gonna try that.
- Good.

Oh! Just after this
one quick email.

Just really fast. Sorry.

-Uh huh.

-Hmm.

-Welcome to the
Hale Hoaloha resort.

Would you care for a lei?

-Yes!

Oh!

Hi. Uh... thank you for
this. It's very pretty.

Would you like
some coconut water?

-Oh no, I'm good.

Oh, but speaking of
water, I am curious.

What are you doing in
terms of recycling?

-The... I'm sorry, what?

For the... for
the coconut water?

-Oh, no. No.

I just, I couldn't help
but notice how lush

the gardens and grounds
are and I was curious about

to note what you're doing in
terms of water conservation.

I'm sure it takes a
ton to keep it up.

Well, we are currently
researching improvements

that respect the fragile
ecosystems of Hawaii.

-Meaning?

-You ask a lot of
questions about water.

-Oh, sorry.

-Um, you know what? I...
I need to get checked in.

-Oh, I can help you with that.

-Oh! Oh, you handle
check in too.

Okay.

-I'm Manu, one of
the resort managers.

We run a relatively
small operation

so you'll be seeing a
lot of the same people.

First and last name please.

-Sarah Gordon.

-Will anyone else
be joining you?

-Well, that's a bit
personal. Don't you think?

-Just asking so I know
how many keys you need.

-Right. Um... just
the one will be fine.

-I have you in room 183.

You'll find there's a
nice view of the gardens.

-You still have real keys?

-We... do.

-Oh, no.

I just thought that most hotels
switched that out years ago.

-Oh, well...

some people appreciate
the more vintage,

personal touch of a real key.

-Ah.

-But there's a suggestion box
over there across the lobby.

Feel free to visit it as often
as you like during your stay.

-I will. Thanks.

I don't understand. How
am I just seeing this?

-It was last summer, Manu.

This wasn't something
to concern you with.

-But it is concerning.

-I agree. We've been
doing what we can.

-But it's clearly not enough.

-For now it has to be.

-Look, they'll be coming
back in three months.

Unannounced.

And it's not just
the rating, okay?

We have a responsibility
greater than ourselves.

-We know that.

But you have to remember
that we're not a mega resort.

We can't over-extend

or there'll be no doors to open
for them when they do come back.

-So you just want
me to ignore it?

-No, Manu.

We want you to focus on making
this a warm and authentic stay

for our guests.

Keeping guest satisfaction up

and the aloha spirit
alive on our island.

That's what we want.
That's the job.

-Okay.

-So... let's get
ready for the day.

-Sarah! Sarah! Not good!

Uh, this is so not good.

-What, the coffee?

-No.

We lost our venue.

-For the wedding?

-No. Our rehearsal dinner.

Okay, technically
we didn't lose it,

since I just discovered I never
hit send on the contract email.

-What did Michael say?

-Nothing. I haven't
told him yet.

-Why?

-'Cause. Well, then
we'll both worry,

and he'll worry
about me worrying

‘cause he knows I want
this week to be perfect.

It has to be perfect.

-Okay, it's gonna be fine.

-It's once in a lifetime.

-It's gonna be fine. Okay?

Like, we will figure this out.

-How?

There's no time to
figure this out.

Uncle Lou is going to
be here any minute,

all the way from New York...

and we promised him we'd
golf and I don't even golf.

So there's that.

-Okay, okay. Stop.
Deep breaths.

Don't worry. Okay? I've
got this, I could do it.

-What, the rehearsal dinner?

-Why do you sound so surprised?

Okay, look... we both know

that I am not the most
experienced Maid of Honor,

but I'm pretty sure
it's my job to help.

-Really?

-Yes. I don't want
either of you to stress.

So just give me a
budget and a headcount

and forget about it. Okay?

Yeah. I've got this.
It's gonna be fun.

You're lying.

-Out of love. Just
leave it to me.

-Oh, God. You're the best!

Thank you!

-Right.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Quick question.

-Is it water related?

-I wish. Fixing that
would be way easier.

I'm... I'm looking for Alana.
I left her a message but...

-That's me.

-You're Alana?

-Uh... this week.

Just handling
events for my cousin

while she's at a trade show.

-Oh. Right.

Well... Alana...

- Manu.
- Got it.

-Any chance you could help
me plan a rehearsal dinner

super quickly?

-For when?

-Friday.

-This Friday?
For this wedding?

-Yeah, unfortunately. A
little planning mishap.

Not on your end, not your fault,
just trying to help a bride out.

So if you could point me
in the right direction

or a direction that
would be super helpful.

-That's what I'm here for.

-Really? You have time?

-No. But I'll make it.

Can't have the first
wedding under my watch

not go 100 percent.

Even if it's not
my mistake to fix.

-Where do we start?

-Wow.

What did I tell you? You
can't take a bad photo here.

-You know, Michael needs
to get a good shot of this

because you look super official.

-Smoke and mirrors are
my new best friends.

-Do you wanna come with us?

-Golfing?

Oh, you know what?
Normally I would love to.

Or at least drive the cart.

But, uh...

-You sure you're
okay doing this?

-I wouldn't have
offered if I wasn't.

So go! Tee off.

- Thank you.
- Have fun!

- Hey.
- Hey.

-Uh... I already found one
place that's available.

My friend's mom owns it
so I pulled some strings.

It's a... it's a bit fancy.

-Sounds promising.

Uh, that's our bride.
She's a little stressed.

-I can tell.

-Really?

-Well, I work in hospitality.

It's my job to
understand people.

You know, see what's
really going on.

So I can help.

-I think what would really
help is seeing that one place.

Is that our ride?

-No. Uh, the one place is
not on the property, so...

we'll take the tour jeep.

-Oh, that uses a lot of gas.

Never mind.

I'll... reserve my
questions for later.

- Alright.
- Okay.

-The restaurant's
a little formal

but it's got great ocean views.

-Sounds nice.

-Yeah, it's just
a starting point.

-How long have you
been in hospitality?

-Since I was seven.

-That doesn't sound legal.

My parents took over this
place when I was seven.

-And you've been
there ever since?

-Yup.

Just working my way
up slowly but surely.

-Wow, I can't even imagine that.

Which part?

Growing up on a resort,
working with your family

or clawing your
way up from seven?

-I didn't mean that at all,
but all good questions.

-That's okay. It's fine.

Uh... I know I'm
fortunate. It's a good gig.

We're almost there.

Great.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Manu, this is super helpful.
Thank you for arranging this.

-Oh, my pleasure.

-I love that it's all
linen tablecloths.

You know, it feels
very wedding-y.

I'm not sure about the orange

but I do like the
white tablecloths

and the bird of paradise.

Yeah. I mean, I feel like I
know exactly what this would be.

Let's book it!

-What? It's the first
place you've seen.

-Oh, is there a second one?

-Not yet but there will be.

-Oh, well we don't
exactly have a lot of time

and I need to figure out
the flowers and the music.

And since I've clearly never

planned anything
like this before,

I think it's best we
lock it down. STAT.

-So, you think it's
what the bride wants?

-Oh, I mean... sure. Right?

What's not to
like? It's elegant.

It's pricey, but not too pricey.

It's kinda perfect. Right?

Though it is in the city.

-You wanna make it special?

-Well, of course.

-Okay, then it's easy.

-Easy?

-Yeah. You know, just make
sure everything feels personal.

You know, all the
little touches,

the thought you put into them.

That's what makes
something special.

-Thank you for placing
that boulder on my chest.

Hey, you
asked for my help.

-Technically... Alana's.

You know what?

I'm gonna do a quick
check in with Lydia,

and if she likes
it, I'm booking it.

-Don't stress, it's
gonna be great.

-What?

-Nothing.

-Nothing?

-Look, I'm trying to, but...

have you ever thought
of switching this out

or do you have a whole fleet?

-Of what?

-Tour jeeps.

If you do, you might want
to consider electric.

-It costs a lot to bring
cars to the island.

-Right. Flight cost should've
clued me into that. Sorry.

Oh, but better yet, you could
replace them with walking tours.

Zero emissions.

-Is this like a twitch?

‘Cause there seems
to be no filter.

-Hazard of the job.

-Hmm. What job?

-Ecologist.

I mean, that's why I studied
everything but I landed in...

-Oh, let me guess.
Water efficiency?

-Ah. You are good
at reading people.

-Thank you.

Now may I interest you in
our zero emissions option

for the trip back?

-You do have an option.

Oh, that makes my
heart so much happier.

What is it?

Are you suggesting I walk home?

-Just presenting you with
an eco-friendly option.

-Thank you.

I know you didn't
need to take me there

so I appreciate it.

-Ah. At least now
you have an option.

-Yeah. I'll get
back to you soon.

-Yeah.

And, just so you know...

when I said I couldn't
imagine your life,

it's just because we
moved around a lot

when I was growing up and
now I travel a ton for work.

I just couldn't imagine
having a place like this

to always call home.

-Got it.

And hey, uh... with
all this stuff,

just remember it's the
little things that matter.

-Likewise.

-Ooh! Nice.

See that?

-Yes.

-Honey?

Manu...

Sorry to ruin your day
but there's a problem.

It's the salination system.

-Hello!

Here's to a stunning resort,

our gorgeous friends
and island time.

We are so grateful you are here.

-To island time!

To island time!

-What do you mean on the fritz?

-It's the salination system.

We've got to replace the salt
cell for the entire pool.

-And you can't just repair it?

-Afraid not.

-So how long will it take?

-With supply chain issues,

it's going to be at
least a week or two.

-Two weeks?

How soon do we have to do this?

-It shouldn't wait.

-I just wanna make sure
there's not a better solution.

-It's your call.

But the longer we put this off,

we risk a bigger repair bill
and a longer pool closure.

-Just give me a few
days to figure it out.

Hey, do me a favor.

Don't tell my
parents about this.

I wanna take care
of this on my own.

-Okay, Manu.

-I mean, it looks great.

-So you love it?

-I love anything you love.

-I mean, it's wedding-y.

-That is why I'm here.

-What are we looking at?

-Rehearsal dinner spot.

-What do you think?

-I'm happy with anything
she's happy with.

-And I default to you.

-Excellent.

-So, we'll see you
in the morning?

-Yeah. Bright and early.

-Great.

Oh, but I hope not.

You're on vacation.
Give yourself a minute.

-Working on it.

-I'm sure it'll be perfect.

-Okay.

-Quick question.

-Uh, yes?

-Is it possible to see
just one more place?

For comparison.

Only if you can swing it.

-Oh, right. Uh, good.
Yeah, no problem.

-Are you... are you okay?

-For sure.

I'm just dealing with
a minor emergency.

-Minor?

-Worn out saltwater
chlorinator for the main pool.

-Oh. Well.

-We're gonna have to
close it for a bit.

Immediately.

-Ooh, that's not minor.

Especially with a
full wedding party.

-Hence my stress.

Any alternatives?

-You know, I'm an ecologist,
not pool maintenance. Right?

-True. But, uh, you
seem full of ideas.

-I am.

But, wait. Let me, uh...
let me get this straight.

-Hit me.

-You wanna hear my opinions?

I do. Yes.

-You don't want me to just
shove ‘em in a box somewhere?

-Nope. Never.

-Okay then.

What about reverse osmosis?

-Reverse what?

-Reverse osmosis.

I've heard about these trailers,
they use ultraviolet rays

and these giant membranes

to clean pool water back
to drinkable quality.

So, if we could find one...

-Well even if we could find
one, uh, which is a big if,

I'm sure it would
still cost a fortune.

-Okay, well you
asked for my ideas

and big problems need big ideas.

-Manu.

The painters just finished
the east wing suites.

Come and do our walkthrough
with us before lunch.

-Uh, I'm just helping this
guest find her way to the spa.

Uh... then I'll
meet you over there.

-Oh, well pardon us
for interrupting.

Enjoy your stay.

-Oh, I'm planning
a spa day, am I?

-How fun of me. Hmm.

-Sorry about that.

It's just, uh... it's a little
complicated with my parents.

-What, working together?

-Sometimes.

They've seen a lot of
smaller resorts like ours

go out of business
over the years.

So, I get why they're
cautious, but...

things are starting
to break, need repair,

and they can't just keep
ignoring the problem.

-Why don't you just
tell them that?

If I'm gonna have any shot
at them considering something

other than the obvious, I'm
gonna need hard numbers.

-How about this?

You find me one more option
for the rehearsal dinner

and I will get you some numbers.
Make a case they can't resist.

-Sounds like a deal to me.

-How are the interviews
going for the new head chef?

-I got it narrowed down
to three candidates.

Uh, we'll schedule interviews
and tastings for you and Mom

over the next few weeks.

- Nice.
- Mm-hmm.

-Hey. Sorry, I'm late.

-Sit. Sit.

-Did you get my email?

-Uh, I haven't had a
chance to check email

in the last hour or so.

There were requests
from the wedding party.

-And I saw you helping them
make leis for tomorrow.

-Tutu would be proud.

-Yeah, well she spent a lot
of time teaching me, so...

I'm trying.

After that, I'll need you
to look after the gardens.

-What's going on?

-Liko spotted some invasives.

We'll have to pull them out

before they spread
any seeds or pollen.

-I'm on it.

-Okay, bro.

But, uh, can you get on figuring
out what you want to order?

Because, uh, we're
all starving here.

-Anything but shrimp.

Okay shrimp.

-Manu sent me a text.

He found another place so
we're gonna look at it first

and then decide.

-Is Manu the manager?

-Yes.

-Is Manu that manager?

-Uh, yes. Why?

-Ooh, no reason.

He just seems really... you
know, helpful and attentive.

-Yeah, well I'm pretty
sure that's his job.

-Hmm...

-And I offered to help him
out too, so there's that.

- You did?
- Mm-hmm.

-With what?

-Nothing, just a little advice.

-Work advice?

-Uh... I'm sorry.
It's just... habit?

-Don't worry, I'm not mad.

-You're not?

-No. ‘Cause look at you.

On your first vacay
in like, forever.

In a flowery dress with a
plumeria behind your right ear.

-Because that's where
he told me to wear it.

-Hmm. ‘Cause you're
single versus taken.

-Are you serious?

What?

-And I have been on vacation.

-How many? Since grad school.

-Well, maybe I am saving
them up for a rainy day.

Or retirement. Mm-hmm.

-I know you love your work.

But you might love vacations too
if you let yourself just relax.

Have you met me?

Oh my God.

-Fruity drinks
for everyone. Huh?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

-You're welcome.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- To you.
- To us.

Aww.

-You trying to impress Mom and
Dad by being the last one out?

-I'm just finishing up.

-You good?

-Yeah. Why?

-Just checking.

You're good at
what you do, Manu.

Just stay focused on the job

that they're asking
you to do. Okay?

-Don't worry. I'm...
I'm turning in soon.

-These are tea leaves.

They are native to Hawaii
and are a symbol of

respect, peace,
friendship and love.

- Sarah!
- Hey!

-Come on over!

-That's okay. I'm too late.

-No, you're not. You
can join if you want to.

-Oh. Yeah. Sounds good.

-There's a spot right there.

-Wonderful, thank you. Hi.

-These are so fun!

-Yay, can't wait.

Mm-hmm.

-Uh, don't worry,
I'll cut yours up.

-Great.

-Just start with
a couple of those.

-Okay.

-How we doing?

So... Fancy is your
pick. You sure?

-Yup.

-Okay, then I'll ask
Hilani for a contract.

-Mahalo.

Ah... Wow,
these smell so good.

Not, like, super flowery

where I just wanna sneeze
for 10 minutes straight.

Well that's probably good
considering Hawaiian priests

use those in weddings
to bind together

the hands of the
bride and groom.

-Okay. So that was deeper
than I was expecting.

-From who, me?

-From a lei making class.

-Oh.

My grandma used
to run this, so...

I know a lot of fun facts.

Like, you never
throw a lei away.

-You don't?

-No. It would be like throwing
away the affection of the person

who gave it to you.

-Well then that needs
to be better advertised

because I'm pretty sure the
ones from prom didn't make it.

But at least I still
have the one from here.

What am I supposed to
do with it, frame it?

-Uh... drape it.

-On?

-I don't know, a tree
or a special place.

-Hmm.

-Or you could just
throw it into the ocean.

-The whole thing?

-No.

I don't know.

-Well you could, but, uh...

most people just
crush the petals

and let them fly into the wind.

-Oh. That sounds very dreamy.

Like I'm riding a horse
on the beach at sunset.

Or reckless like tossing
dollar bills in the air.

-It's just giving back to
the land that created it.

-Hmm.

-Here.

-Oh.

-A symbol of friendship.

-And it could also be
a symbol of affection.

-I think we're done. Mahalo.

-Hey. I put calls into two
places with the technology

but I'm still
waiting to hear back.

Yup, that's island time for
you. But a promising start.

And I should have your
contract later today, so...

-Great.

And then I just need to
figure out the flowers

and then tablecloths.

Oh, and that thing called
my Maid of Honor speech,

which I've never done before.

Okay, well then start
by calling it a toast.

Speech sounds way too
formal and stressful.

-That's the wise
voice of experience.

-Well, I've been in hospitality
since before I could spell it.

-Hm.

-I'm happy to help
with the details

or, you know, listen
in while you rehearse.

-Really?

-Although it might be a while.

I have to pull up this nasty
patch of invasive plants

that are threatening
the gardens.

-Oh. That could take a minute.

-Yeah. Maybe I should grab
an extra set of gloves.

-Sounds fun.

-Fun?

What?

More fun than sitting
poolside pretending to relax.

-You are a rare specimen.

-Instead of being
fully present here

I keep thinking about all the
things that need to be done.

-Hmm. At work?

-In the world.

-That is a mountain
to think about.

Especially when there's
so much to be done.

Just know you're
doing a ton already.

You can't do
everything. Not alone.

You shouldn't have to.

Should I get you those gloves?

-Let's go.

-So, simple white tablecloths
and birds of paradise.

Safe.

-If that's what you want.

-That's what there's time for.

-What about your toast?

-Okay, back off. I might
need to pace myself.

You know, this would
be a great place

for a low-water impact garden.

You could install a
drip irrigation unit

and then eventually use
it to run the gray water

from the kitchens.

-So none of the water that
gets used goes to waste.

-It's perfect for
watering plants.

So, it's kinda like
water recycling.

-And it saves money which is
what's gonna impress my parents.

-Totally.

Yeah, most people think eco-
friendly upgrades is costly

but normally they pay for
themselves or more over time.

-I think we've
done enough. You?

-Yeah.

-Thank you for helping me.

Pulling up weeds

isn't exactly your
standard vacation activity.

-Well, I like working.

It feels good to do
something with your hands

and actually see the results.

Oh. Thank you.

-Yeah, but you're in Hawaii.

You gotta catch
the aloha spirit.

-I have.

Okay, not fully,

but I can definitely
feel it creeping in.

-You know what else I
wanna introduce you to?

-What?

-Best food on the
island, my treat.

-Let me guess.
Your restaurant?

-Nope.

-Your bar?

-Strike two.

Give me a hint.

-It's a drive but a pretty one.

-Ah... sure. Yeah.
I mean, why not?

I guess I just need
a moment to clean up.

-Oh, no.

Actually I was thinking
tomorrow, if that works?

I've kept you way too long

and there are some things I
need to take care of here.

-Yeah. Right.

Of course.
And I'm kinda tired,

so... tomorrow's great

-Perfect. Uh, I'll pick you
up tomorrow 8:00AM, out front.

-Perfect.

- See you then.
- Cool.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Okay.

I mean... maybe?

-Oh, wow. Okay.

So, this is the best
shrimp on the island?

-Best food on the island.

-Oh...

-I pay him to say that.

What, they still give
you a lunch break, huh?

-I give myself the breaks now.

Nice.

Who's your friend?

-I'm Sarah... and I
can talk for myself.

-I like you. Heenalu,
this guy's best friend.

-I pay him to say that.

Okay. Come on, let's
go see what you want.

-Well this is your
spot, I trust you.

-Okay.

Okay then, uh, then
go grab that table

and put your feet in the sand.

I can do that.

It was nice to meet you.

-What?

-Sarah seems nice.

-She is. She's also
starving, so... seriously.

-Hey.

- Ready?
- Ready.

-Dig in.

-Mmm.

-Mmm.

-So good.

-Does your friend always
hook you up like this?

-No.

He just likes to show
off to new customers.

And you'll be happy to know
his shrimp are grown locally.

So, doesn't get much
fresher than this.

Do you have a
thought in your head?

-This place is kinda ridiculous.

-Told you.

-Not just here... Hawaii.

I feel super at home,

like I've been coming
here my whole life

even though I've never been.

Although that
shouldn't surprise me

since I grew up near the water.

-I thought you said
you moved a lot.

-I did.

But my dad loved sailing

so I always had the
water to anchor me.

-Hmm. Is that why
you do what you do?

-What, travel all
the time for work?

-No, uh... just the
type of work you do.

-It may be. Maybe,
I'm not sure.

I just know that no
matter how awkward or shy

of always being the new kid,

I, uh... lose myself in
hikes, swimming, gardening.

Somewhere I always
felt I belonged.

-In nature.

So, work for you is
comforting. Therapeutic even.

-I know, kinda strange.

-No. Not at all.
I mean, not to me.

-So, what brings you comfort?

-Ooh, so... we're
turning this on me now.

-I thought we were
talking about you.

-Can't all be one sided.

-Well, that's true.

You have dominated a
lot of the conversation.

-Hey!

Yes!

-Okay, okay. Alright, my turn.

Um... though I might
have to show you

or else it might not make sense.

-Do you have time to do that?

-It might be stretching it a bit
but I think it'll be worth it.

You?

- Do I have time?
- Mm-hmm.

-I'm on vacation, aren't I?

-Okay.

-Alright, I'm just gonna...

Oh, you did not!

That's bold.

-So this... this is
where I'd come as a kid.

Whenever I felt
awkward or out of place

or admittedly left out
as an over-eager kid

wanting to please his parents.

-Tide pools.

-Turtle Cove. At least
that's what we call it.

Just far enough away from
the resort where I felt like

I could adventure, explore,
not think of any of that.

Don't get me wrong,

I always wanted to be
something, anything.

I was so eager.

But no, they'd always try
to protect me from that.

You know, feeling
like I had to work

just because they
owned the resort.

It's almost to a fault but
I always wanted to work.

I felt it was my kuleana,

my responsibility and privilege,
to take care of the property.

-The resort?

-And the island.

-I get that.

-I feel like you do.

More than anyone
I've ever met before.

-Well, I feel like you get me

more than anyone has in a very
long time, so... there's that.

-So, uh... this...

this is where I'd spend
most of my free time.

You know, swimming,
diving, tide pooling.

Is that a word?

-Let's go with yes.

It's weird, I don't
know the last time

I went out on the water for
anything other than work.

-What? Really?

-Yeah.

-Then let's go!

Where?

- Out there.
- Really?

-Yeah. If you're lucky you
might even spot a sea turtle.

-Ah.

Well, now that you
put it that way.

-You're game?

-I think you knew I
was before you asked.

Come on.

Well... come on.

-Aloha.

Hey Noa. Have you
seen your brother?

He's not answering his phone.

-Not since this morning.
Did you try his office?

-When you see him, can you
tell him to come find us?

-Did you see those
kids over there?

-Yeah.

-I bet I know exactly
what they were playing.

Same game we used to
play all the time.

-It looked like they
were just standing still.

-They were because the
first person to flinch

when something slimy
touches them... loses.

-Oh... wow.

That's the game
you used to play?

-Mm-hmm.

-How'd you rank?

-High.

-Of course.

-And I always used to say
it's because nothing scared me

but that wasn't true.

-Let me guess. Jellyfish?

-Nope.

My parents finding out
I was sneaking around

and grounding me.

-Uh huh. Terrifying.

-Yeah.

-Should we, um...
should we head back?

-Yeah, probably.

Oh wait!

Look.

We call the sea turtle honu.

They're a blessing
and mean good luck.

Tutu, my grandma, used to
say they're an aumakua.

Like an ancestral spirit sent to
offer you guidance and wisdom.

Some say the honu
are a living canoe

that transports
lovers to each other.

-Maybe both are true.

-This place is so magical.

I think I just figured it out.

-What you wanna
say for your toast?

-The rehearsal dinner.

-Oh, I thought that
was already decided.

-Without giving it
enough thought, but...

the restaurant is
beautiful, it really is.

But, you know, it doesn't
really feel like Lydia.

What they're going for.

But the day we just
had... it does.

It's all about
connection. Right?

-Yeah. Alright, well
that's pretty easy.

You sure?

-Yes.

Although music would be
a huge bonus if possible.

Otherwise I'll just sing.

-I kinda like the
sound of Plan B.

-I'm kidding!

-Thank you for coming with me.

-Yeah, I'm glad we went.

That was... really special.

Oh! Looks like they
sent me some numbers.

So, um... why don't
I go over them first?

-Yeah. Uh, regroup in an hour?

-Yeah. Uh, just send me
a text when you're free.

- Cool.
- Great.

- I, just...
- Oh...

- Oh, sorry.
- No.

- See ya.
- Yeah.

-Hey brother.

Did you get caught
up in the rain?

-No, no. I made it back.

-You coming back for seconds?

-Nah.

-You good?

-What if nice was
an understatement?

-So, we're talking
about the girl.

-About Sarah.

You said she was nice but
what if she's more than that?

What do I do?

-You really don't
know what to do?

-I can't just ask her out.
She lives in California.

-I'm not saying it's easy

but I've seen you go
after what you want

since we were in grade school.

-Yeah, but that's
work. This is bigger.

More complicated.

-Which is exactly why
you don't stop going

for what you want now.

When it matters most.

-Since when do you
get all sentimental?

-It was right after
I found my Sarah.

If you really feel something,
find a way Mister Manu.

Just follow your heart,
brother. Talk later.

-Hi guys. Can I borrow
Lydia for a second?

-As long as you join us after.

-I will, definitely. Soon.

-What's up?

-I have some things to tell you
and some things to not tell you.

-Okay.

-First, I figured out
what we're gonna do

for the rehearsal
dinner tomorrow.

-It's different than what
we initially talked about

and what you guys initially
planned before the mishap

but I think you're
gonna love it.

-I'm sure. What is it?

-A surprise.

-Seriously?

Okay fine, fine.
We'll be surprised.

-Great.

And secondly, I'm gonna be
running around getting ready

for that today and then
I have some plans later.

So you might not
see me much today,

but the next two
days are all you.

-And are these other
plans romantic in nature?

-Possibly.

Then I support you.

Go forth and make
delightful choices.

- I love you.
- I love you.

-Aww.

- Want a drink?
- Yes.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- How many weeks is it?
- It's a two-month job.

The water allocation
commitment is huge.

-In the central valley?

-Yes.

Room and board is all
handled of course, per usual.

But it'll be pretty intense!

-Sounds good. Important.

Can I get back to you?

-Oh... sure. When
you're back is fine.

-Thank you.

And thank you for
thinking of me.

-Always.

-Hey Sarah.

-Hey.

-That better not be work.

-We only have two
days left of vacation!

- Oh, I don't wanna go.
- Me neither.

-Me neither.

What? I don't.

And it's not work, by
the way, it's my toast.

But you know what? I am
not gonna overthink it.

- No?
- No.

I'm just going to
speak from the heart...

and swim.

-Someone's feeling
island time now.

Took long enough.

-Hey. How's it going?

Welcome to the Hale
Hoaloha resort.

Check in is right
this way. Okay?

Hey. How's it going, guys?

I'm coming back for
a reservation. Okay?

Mom. Dad. Everything okay?

-We need to talk.

-So you knew what was
going on with the pool.

-I knew there were issues
that needed to be addressed.

-The saltwater chlorinator
basically imploded.

We have to get everyone out
and close down the main pool.

-What? Right now?

I didn't realize...

-Kainoa told us
that he warned you

that we needed to
change the salt cell.

-He did but I thought
there was more time.

I was trying to
find a work around

so we wouldn't have to close...
and one that would be better.

-For who?

-The land.

He alii ka aina,
he kauwa ke kanaka.

The land is a chief,
we are its servant.

I'm sorry. I was
just trying to help.

-Well your help is going
to cost us twice as much.

Maybe you weren't ready
to move up to manager.

-Kino.

-I'm sorry.

-Let's shut it down.

-Sorry.

Oh, they are
going to be so surprised.

This was such a good idea.

- Good job.
- I know.

-So good. Oh no.

Um... hi. Excuse me.

-I'm so sorry, we've had to
temporarily close the pool.

But we encourage you to
utilize the private beach

or, uh... the kids pool.

-Um... why don't we
just go to the beach?

We'll just tell everyone
to meet up there.

-I guess.

-We're working as hard as we can

and hope to have it
open before you leave.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

But I'm glad you love it.

There must be something.

-Put your feet in the sand
and relax. How's that?

As long
as you do too.

-Deal.

-We'll hold you to that.

O-kay. We're gonna
go grab a beverage

where the beverages are.

-Hey.

-Oh, hey.

- I'm sorry about the pool.
- Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry you had to
look into all that.

But, uh, ideas for another time.

-Yeah, for sure.

You'll get it there.

-Hmm.

Will I?

-Um... hey bro. They need
you over at catering.

When you can.

-Sure.

About dinner, uh... I really
wanna go, take you out. But...

-Don't worry, I get it.
You've got a lot going on.

-It's complicated.

-Yeah. Like I said, I get it.

-I wish I did.

-I should get back.

-Yeah.

Sarah...

I know I said it's the
little things that matter.

But you did a pretty big
thing for your friend.

I hope you can just enjoy.

-I will.

-Okay! Who's getting
married today?

-What time is it?

-Well, you told me to
wake you up at 8:00.

So... morning!

-You're oddly chipper.

-Well, it's my job as
your Maid of Honor.

I'm getting
married today.

-What do you wanna do first?

-Relax.

-What? You can't relax,
you're the bride.

-The wedding is not until
3:00 so I think we need

to grab our towels
and head to the beach.

Unless you wanna go find
a certain someone instead.

-Oh... that. Yeah, no.

He doesn't... he doesn't
need my help anymore.

-You could just hang out.

-You know, whatever I
thought, it's not anything.

Which is fine, you
know, it's good.

It's probably better.

-Hmm.

Is it?

You've got such a big heart.

I just wanna make
sure that you get back

all that you deserve too.

-Right now you know
what I deserve?

A well-behaved bride
who is willing to get up

and ready for the day
because it is all happening!

I know I said you
should try a different approach

with your family but
maybe that's the problem.

You look at all of this
through their eyes,

trying to tell them
what they wanna hear.

But have you tried
speaking from your heart?

P.S. Thanks for sharing
your beautiful home.

Sarah.

-To the best bride.

-And bridesmaids.

-We love you.

-Fabulous. Come on,
let's go fix your hair.

Come on.

-It's time.

-I can't believe the
next time I kiss Michael

he'll be my husband.

-I'm so happy for you.

-I'm so glad you're here.

-Me too.

-Manu. What's this?

-Ideas. Numbers.

Things that will
improve our resort.

That need to be improved.

I even consulted an ecologist,
a guest who offered to help.

-What's this about, son?

-Our family.

Since as long as I can remember,

our family has honored our
homeland, our ancestors.

Tutu.

But we've lost sight of that.

Of just... talking to each
other about what really matters.

I've wanted to do this
job since... forever.

You both know that.

But to do my job, I have to
be honest about what I see.

And you have to trust
me or this won't work.

It's all in there.

Hi. Hello.

I'm...

I'm Sarah, the Maid of Honor
in case you didn't know.

Oh... come up here.

Wow. I have...

I'm sure you can't tell but
I've never given a speech

or even a toast before.

I... I wrote about a
million different versions

of what I wanted to say, but...

being here, seeing you
guys so happy, so in love,

best friends who take
care of each other

and protect each
other from stress.

It made me realize that's
what we're all trying to do.

Nurture all sides of ourselves,

protect what we love and show
gratitude when we find it.

And then hopefully we
can pass that love on.

You guys have opened my
heart with your love.

May it surround you forever.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

-To the bride and groom!

Cheers!

-Cheers.

Let's dance!

-Manu. Mom and
Dad wanna see you.

They say they got
a project for you.

-Let me guess, one
you don't wanna do?

-No. It actually
sounds pretty cool.

But you're the better
man for the job.

It was so beautiful
last night and here.

-Oh.

-I'm not happy about
this departure.

-Somehow I think we'll be back.

-Maybe for your wedding.

Right?

-But I couldn't
copy Lydia. Could I?

-Why not?

I'd love an excuse
to come back here.

-Well then, maybe.

Boys.

-Noa said you wanted to see me?

-Yes, come sit. We
have a project for you.

-Okay.

-The cost and hassle
of replacing keys,

it's really getting out of hand.

-And we looked at
all of your numbers.

We'd like to make the switch.

-To smart locks with codes?

-Mm-hmm.

-I know it's an investment but
I found a guy on the island

who can manufacture the handles
from 100 percent recycled...

-Not just room keys,
Manu. Your overall plan.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

-We don't want another
low eco-rating, do we?

-We do trust you, Manu.

And we trust that you're gonna
ask for help when you need it.

And as cautious as we've been,

we'd like to keep moving
forward in the right direction.

-Mahalo.

-Go.

Make sure your guest
has everything they need

before they check out.

We're proud of you, son.

-Did you already check out?

-Sadly, yes.

-I wanted to bring you this.

-I thought leis were
an arrival thing.

-Or a thank you.

-For what?

-Your note and your advice.

It made a difference.
They listened.

- Your parents?
- Mm-hmm.

I'm sure it'll take a bit but
they're open to our changes.

Starting with getting rid
of our old school keys.

-Oh, that's a real shame.

-I just wish I knew an
ecologist who could, you know,

help flesh out the whole plan.

-If only.

-If only you'd stay.

- To help?
- Sure.

But, uh... even better,
do a little sightseeing.

Maybe take a hike
to a waterfall.

Make it a date.

- A date?
- Mm-hmm.

I'd love nothing more.

-Your timing is a little off.

-I was afraid you'd say that.

-But mine has been for years.

Which is why I was just thinking
about extending my vacation.

-To stay here?

-Well, not here of course.

It would be a bit
extravagant and complicated.

Are you serious?

You could stay
longer, on the island?

-I will need you to make
some phone calls though

‘cause I need somewhere to stay.

-I think I can make that happen.

-Maybe some place with
a balcony or a view?

-Yeah? Any other
requests or opinions?

-Ah.

-You know what I was thinking...

-What?

-We really could have had
low-impact eco garden.

-Gardening is what you're
thinking about right now?

-No.

I'm thinking about where to
take you on a lunch date.

-I'm sure you have
an idea or two.

-For you...

millions.
