[cheering and applause]

Ladies and gentlemen,

can I have everyone‘s
\hattention, please?

For our beautiful daughter,
Ruby, on her 25th birthday.

[guests applaud]

[man] Would you look at that?

What a surprise.

Thank you.

I‘ll just be a minute.

\h\h\hI know it’s not much,
but... happy birthday, Ruby.

Charlie, I‘ve always loved you.

And I will always love you

’til the day I die and beyond.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBut...

We come from different worlds

and my father will never accept
us and it‘s just too hard.

I‘m sorry.

Ruby...

Please, just go.

[melancholy music]

[cheerful music]

Oh no, you‘re moving out?

I was wondering why
I haven‘t seen you.

Yeah, Elliot and I dissolved
our business a few months ago

and our lease ends today.

I‘ve been putting off
\h\h\h\h\hthis part.

I‘m sorry to hear.

Me too.

And I‘m not trying to add salt
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto the wound,

but really, what a shame.

\hThis town has so many historic
buildings that need restoration.

I can‘t tell you how many
of my clients have updated

their original Tudors
\h\hinto McMansions.

Oh, stop, you‘re breaking
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hmy heart.

Oh, well, I‘ll miss being
\h\h\h\h\hwork neighbors.

Me too.

But hey, I‘m in real estate now
so maybe our paths will cross.

Please, if any of your clients
\h\hare looking for a designer

keep me in mind.

Absolutely.

And keep in touch.

Maybe we can finally
\hgrab that coffee.

Yes, yes.

And also, if you see Elliot,
\h\hdo you mind asking him-

You could ask him yourself.

Elliot.

Hi.

Josephine.

Text me about that coffee.

I will, thanks.

Hey. Um, I thought you were
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin Boston.

I am or I was.

I‘m working with my brother‘s
\hconstruction company there.

Well, I also joined
the family business.

You got your real estate
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlicense?

I did.

Your dad must be very proud.

He’s... he’s something.

Well, congrats.

\h\h\hI have no doubt
that you’ll do great.

You can succeed at anything
\h\h\hyou put your mind to.

Except us, of course.

So, what’ve you got here?

Oh, I was just clearing
\h\h\h\hout the office.

Uh...

May I?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, is this...?

Do you wanna keep that?

You drew it for me.

And besides, if I decide
\h\h\h\hI don‘t want it

I can always just use this
\h\h\h\h\h\h\has kindling.

[chuckles]

[laughs] That‘s a good one.

Well, best of luck
\hin real estate.

Thank you.

And best of luck with um...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlife.

[small laugh]

Life.

Hey.

Mi querida. It‘s your
\h\hfirst day of work

and you‘re already late.

I‘m sorry, I was uh,
packing up the office

and then I- I bumped
\h\h\h\hinto Elliot.

\hHoney, I know this is tough
but you made the right choice.

Coming off an engagement
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\his hard.

But enough about the past, ok?
\h\hLet‘s focus on the future.

You were running Elliot‘s
\h\h\hbusiness for years.

It was our business.

Ok, but you were stifled there
\h\h\hwith no creative outlet.

Real estate offers one.

You can stage, decorate,

\h\hwork with buyers to
envision renovations...

I guess I never looked at it
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthat way.

Here‘s an opportunity
\h\hfor a new career.

This truly is gorgeous.
\h\h\hWho‘s the seller?

Real estate trust

controlled by the family of
\h\h\hthe original owners.

It‘s been care-taken but sat
\hempty for nearly 70 years.

I‘ll email you what I‘ve got
\h\h\h\hso you can prepare.

Prepare for what?

Anna, this is your listing.

Me?!

Dad, I just got my real estate
\h\h\h\h\h\hlicense last week,

and Terrence won‘t be happy
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\habout this.

I‘ll handle Terrence.
\h\hYou handle this.

If you‘re ready.

I‘m ready.

Open house is in two weeks.

Fall is the end of buying season
and then winter is crickets.

Can‘t sit on this ‘til spring.

Got it.

I know you do.

[cheerful music]

[curious music]

♪

Hm.

[gust of wind blows]

\h-Anna?
-[gasps]

Oh!

Welcome to the wild world
\h\h\h\h\hof real estate.

I just came by to wish you
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hgood luck.

\h\h\hYou‘ll need it.
This house is jinxed.

Oh, is it?

Your dad didn‘t tell you?

It‘s been listed five times
\h\h\h\h\h\hand never sold.

\hThough I‘m sure this time
with you will be different.

Although you did just get
\h\h\h\h\h\hyour license

and this is... a big project.

Hmm, thanks for your vote
\h\h\h\h\hof confidence.

I‘ve got all the confidence
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin the world.

In yourself.

[both laugh]

I‘m just saying, if you‘re ready
to admit

you‘re not quite cut out
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfor this

I‘d be happy to co-list
the property together.

I‘m just looking out
\h\h\h\h\h\hfor you.

Of course you are, Terrence.

Let me show you the best part
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hof the house.

Aren‘t the grounds so lovely?
\h\h\hThanks for stopping by.

[slams door]

I will sell this house,
\h\h\h\h\hjinx or not.

What?

[mysterious music]

[gasp]

[mysterious music]

[electricity buzzing]

[door slams]
\h\h[gasps]

[door slams]
\h\h[gasps]

[panting]

\h\hOooh, so you‘re a ghost?
Wow, you are so competitive.

Well, nice try, Terrence.

This is ridiculous,
\h\h\heven for you.

Wait, who are you?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[stutters]
Are- are you talking to me?

Can- can you see me?

Yes, of course I can see you.

That can‘t be.

What‘re you doing here?

Hey!

Hey!

And stay out!

[slams door]

Terrence.

[car engine]

And stay out!

\hA flat white,
like your ghost.

Oh, are you gonna play dumb?

What‘s going on here?

Terrence here played a little
\h\hprank on me, didn‘t you?

He had someone pretend to be
\ha ghost at the Baker house

so you can get the listing.

No, I didn‘t.

Oh, like you didn‘t rehang
\h\h\h\h\h\hthe painting?

I‘m lost here.

Seriously, I have no idea
what you‘re talking about.

He‘s telling the truth.

Believe me, after 15 years
\h\h\hof working with him

I can tell when he‘s lying.

[laughs] Ha! That‘s-
\h\h\hthat‘s funny.

But you know, Anna,

if the Baker property
is too much pressure-

No. No, no, no, it is not
\h\h\htoo much pressure.

I‘ve got it all under control.

Here you go.

\hIf there‘s someone here,
I‘m gonna call the police.

[thud]

[exhales]

What are you doing?

What, you can still see me?

Now, the question is what
\h\hare you doing, toots?

This is my house.
\h\hI live here.

\h\hYou do?
Since when?

Since 1921.

Well, I‘m not quite sure
\h\h\h\h\h\hwhat to say.

I‘m a real estate agent.
I‘m selling this house.

Over my dead body.
\h\h\h\h\hGet it?

Because I‘m dead.

No, you‘re not.

\hYes, I am.
I‘m a ghost.

I‘m sorry, but you‘re not
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha ghost.

\hYou walk, you talk, you smell.
Kinda like moth balls, actually.

So you‘re definitely
\h\h\h\hnot a ghost.

Then I‘ll prove it.

[gasps]

[screams]

\h\hEverything looks great.
You‘re as healthy as can be.

But I‘m not, believe me.

Well, ok, we can take a CT scan
or blood test if you‘d like.

But you had a full work up
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlast month

and everything looked fine.

But I saw something.

Something that could not have
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbeen there.

Like what?

Like... a ghost.

\hAnna, I have known you
since you were a toddler.

You‘re like family.

And I know the breakup
with Elliot was tough.

Stress can manifest itself
\h\h\h\h\hin strange ways.

Like seeing a ghost?

Maybe you should talk
\h\h\h\h\hto someone.

I don‘t think I need
\h\h\h\ha therapist.

Well, then what do you need?

An exorcist?

[mysterious music]

You, again?

[slams door]

Hi!

Sorry for the awkward drop-by.

Oh, no, it‘s not awkward.

No, of course not.

There‘s nothing awkward here
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hat all.

You left this in the office
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hstorage space

and Josephine said this was
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hyour listing

so, well, I just thought
\hI‘d leave it for you.

\h\hOh, thank you.
I appreciate that.

So, this is your listing, huh?

Yeah.

I‘ve always admired
\h\h\hthis beauty.

\hOh, it‘s stunning inside.
You should see the woodwork.

I could show it to you quickly.
If- if you have a minute.

Yeah, I have a minute.

-Yeah? Ok.
-Alright.

I‘m still here, toots.

Jeepers, who‘s the Valentino?

So? Do you see this?

The woodwork?

Um... why don’t you go inside?
You know, take a closer look.

Ok.

Why can‘t he see you?

\hThe question is,
why can you see me?

\h\h\h\hWhoever you are,
tell your broad to scram.

[whispers] I‘m not his broad.

Hey, do you ever feel like
\h\h\hthis house has a...

strange energy?

Like it‘s haunted?

[chuckles]

Well, I can‘t say that I believe
in paranormal activity

\h\h\h\hbut this house has
an interesting vibe to it.

Huh.

“Interesting” isn‘t the word
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI’d use.

Anna, are you ok?

Huh?

\hYou just seem a little out
of it, distracted or distant.

Hey, maybe it‘s me being here.

\h\h\hNo, no, no, no.
It’s not you, it’s me.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI’m just um...
I’m just a little overwhelmed.

There’s- there’s a lot of
\h\h\h\h\h\hthings to do:

Painters and floors, cleaning,
\h\h\h\hstaging, decorating...

and the open house
\h\his in 12 days.

\h\h\hI have no doubt
that you‘ll do great.

Oh, that makes one of us.

Good luck, Anna.

Thank you.

[door opens, closes]

So... you’re a ghost?

Yeah, and this is my house.

Famed architect, Arthur Salkin,
built this house

for my parents in 1919,
\h\hcompleted in 1921.

\hMy folks lived in it until the
50‘s, and it‘s been empty since,

thanks to my ingenuity
\hand flair for drama.

Wow.

And how long have you been
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha ghost?

Oh, you can say “dead”.

Since 1923.

Then why are you still here?

Think I want to be here?

\h\hDo you know how boring
the last century has been?

I can‘t figure out
\h\hhow to leave.

Huh.

And I‘m the first person
\h\h\h\hto ever see you?

First and only.

Well, then maybe that‘s why
\h\h\h\h\h\hI can see you.

\h\hSo you can help me sell the
house and then you can move on.

Or maybe I don‘t move on

\h\hand then I‘m saddled with
annoying tenants for eternity.

Nope, Ruby doesn‘t share
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha room.

Who‘s Ruby?

I‘m Ruby, obviously.

Oh.

Ok, well, listen Ruby,

I know that you are attached
\hto this house, literally,

\h\h\hbut I‘m new to this job
and my dad is counting on me.

And I really need this sale.
\h\h\h\hI really need a win.

I can see you need a win,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hsister.

But you‘re not going
\h\h\h\hto win here.

And you don‘t want
\h\h\hto fight me.

\hI‘m as unsinkable
as the stock market.

Hmm. You‘re not making the case
you think you are.

Ruby, this house is going.

And you‘re going with it.

Over my dead body.

[pleasant music]

Good morning.

Hello.

I was hoping you could help me.

I‘m looking for anything
\h\h\hyou have on this.

\h\h\h\h\h\hRuby Baker,
the Baker estate.

It‘s a house over on Viscano.

\h\hRuby lived there with
her parents in the 1920‘s.

Oh, well since they‘re local

there might be something
about them in the Bugle.

We‘ve got it on microfilm.

Great.

\hAnything specific
you‘re looking for?

\h\h\hLocal history?
Interesting tidbits.

Hopefully an obituary,
\hespecially for Ruby.

Alright, just give me
\h\h\h\ha few minutes

and I will pull up
\h\hthe microfilm.

Great, thank you.

[exhales] This Ruby seems like
\h\h\h\h\hquite the character.

She certainly is...
\h\h\h\h\h\hor was.

So I‘ve heard.

She‘s all over the society
column from 1917 to 1923.

\h\h\h\hShe‘s at every gala.
She wins every dance contest.

She pals around with Fitzgerald
and Hemingway.

And her obituary.

\hShe died in a car crash late
at night on her 25th birthday.

That‘s tragic.

Well, I‘ll leave you to it.

Let me know if you need
\h\h\h\hanything else,

and feel free to print whatever
you‘d like to take home.

Thank you.

Anna.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Hi.

What‘re you doing here?

Oh, uh, just some...
\h\h\hsome research.

Research? What for?

Well, uh, I know someone
\h\h\h\h\h\hwho‘s stuck

\hand I‘m just trying
to help them move on.

That sounds purposely vague.
Should we change the subject?

Yes, please.

\h\h\h\hWhat about you?
What‘re you doing here?

You know, I uh, I thought
\h\h\h\h\h\hwe could use

another awkward interaction.

[laughs]

Kidding.

Um, I‘m on a break

from the historical preservation
society next door.

Oh.

A year later they‘re hearing
my case for the third time.

For the Fletcher building.

You know me, the king
\h\h\hof lost causes.

They can reject me twice,

but wait until they hear
\h\h\h\h\hmy new plans.

That‘s actually why
\hI‘m back in town,

to finish the hearing.

Oh, right.

Yeah.

Well, good luck.

Thank you.

And uh, good luck
with this "person"

who‘s trying to get unstuck.

\hWait, why did you just
put person in air quotes?

Because I thought you were
\h\hreferring to yourself.

But you weren‘t.

Mmm.

\h\h\h\h\hI‘m really sorry.
I didn‘t mean to offend you.

No, it‘s fine, really.
\h\h\h\h\hNo, it‘s ok.

Uh, well, we‘re back so
I should get next door.

I‘ll see you around.

Yeah, ok.

[buzzing noise]

Ruby Baker, you were quite
\h\h\h\h\h\hthe socialite.

So you‘ve been snooping on me.

\h\h\h\h\h\hNo need to snoop.
I‘ll happily tell you myself.

I was the life of every party.

I made Zelda look like
\h\h\h\ha wallflower.

I was a legend.

And then you died.
\h\h\hTragically.

Oh, boo-hoo.

\h\h\hSo you know all about me,
shouldn‘t I know about you, too?

\h\hBetter do your research.
Also, did you change outfits?

It‘s high fashion, darling.
You should try it sometime.

[knocking]

Oh, that must be the painters.

Thanks for coming by.

But before we get started do you
mind helping me with something?

\h\h\h\hCan you move
this chaise outside?

I‘m throwing it away.

\h\h\h\hOh, no you‘re not!
This is a family heirloom.

It‘s threadbare.

No! Stop it!

Stop right there!

How come you can move objects
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand not people?

I don‘t know sweetheart.
\h\h\h\h\h\hCruel irony?

Stop right there!

Wait, you can‘t go outside?

Good detective work, Sherlock.

You‘ve got some real brains
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hon you.

\h\h\h\h\h\hWow. I‘m sorry.
Well, that must be so tough.

\hAll these years just
staring out the window

watching the world pass you by.

[sighs] What a perfect fall day.

[mischievous music]

Perfect.

Ooh, you waxed the floors.

Looks sticky.

Oh, you wouldn‘t.

[gasps]

Anna Vazquez...

Looks like we can both do
\h\h\h\h\hsome snooping.

\h\h\h\hSo you know my name.
You could have just asked me.

\h\h\hThen I‘ll ask you this.
Looks like you were his dame.

\h\h\hSo what happened?
Did he break your heart?

Did your chauffeur break yours?

What do you know about Charlie?

I know that you two are making
\h\hgoogly eyes at each other

in nearly every photo
\h\h\hI found of you.

So who was this Charlie?

Who is this fella to you?

That‘s none of your business.

No! You wouldn‘t!

Fine.

As much as I dislike being held
emotionally hostage

by a specter, that‘s Elliot.
\h\hHe was my former fiancé.

And who‘s this Charlie?

Also my former fiancé.

It looks like we‘ve got
\hsomething in common,

which means you must have blood
running through you, after all.

Oh, well, that makes one of us.

[chuckles]

Bring my chaise back in.

No.

[gasps]

No! No!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

No!

No.

The upstairs has been painted.
\hI am working on the floors.

There was a little... mishap.
\hBut I‘m ahead of schedule.

I still have nine days
\h’til the open house.

\hAbout that, I have sneak peek
buyers coming by this afternoon.

This afternoon?

\h\h\hThey‘ve been trying to get
into the neighborhood for months

and are willing to pay
\h\h\h\h\htop dollar.

But the house isn‘t ready yet.

It doesn‘t matter.

They‘re looking to renovate

so they just want to know
\h\hthe bones are there.

Oh, the bones are there.
Skeletons in the closet.

What was that?

[bell dings]

Elliot, what‘re you doing here?

I heard you were in Boston.

Yeah, I‘ve been splitting
my time working up there

\h\hand coming back here for the
Fletcher historical designation.

I thought that got rejected.

Hopefully third time‘s a charm.

I should be going and Anna,
\h\h\h\h\hyou should, too.

-You have buyers coming.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Mmhmm.

I see your dad missed
\h\h\h\hme terribly.

Well, you know my dad.

\hNothing and no one is ever
good enough for his princess.

It‘s not personal.

Oh no, of course not.

[chuckles] There‘s nothing
\h\h\h\h\hpersonal at all

about being disliked by your
\h\hex future father-in-law.

It‘s fine.

Well, we should really stop

bumping into each other
\h\h\h\h\h\hlike this.

Yeah, right?

I mean, we should start avoiding
each other like good exes, ok?

-Ok.
-Ok.

Ok.

Ruby?

Ruby?

Ruby?

What‘s with all the hollering?

Ruby, you‘re not gonna
\hbe happy about this

but there are buyers coming
to look at the house today.

Over my dead body.

We‘ve already done that one.

\hBut look, people are coming
so I need us to make a truce.

\h\h\hLook, the reality is,
this house is gonna get sold

\h\hone way or another but
at least I can promise you

I will sell to the right people.

And, who knows, maybe a little
\h\h\h\hcompany will be nice.

And look, for a hundred years no
one could see you and now I can,

so maybe this is happening
\h\h\h\h\h\hfor a reason.

Maybe if I sell the house
\h\h\h\hyou can move on.

Fine.

Very tentative truce.

Are you trying to butter up
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe buyers?

This is an old sales trick.

\hFresh baked cookies make
a house smell like a home.

By the way... I got
\h\hyou something.

Dried up grass?
\hGee, thanks.

It‘s sage.

It‘s supposed to rid a space
\h\h\hof lingering spirits.

And yet you‘re still here.

\h\h\h\hWow. I think
it‘s working already.

Yes, I see a tunnel

and there‘s a heavenly light
\h\h\h\h\h\hcalling my name.

Yes, oh, it‘s happening!

I‘m heading to the great escrow
in the sky!

\hYou‘re supposed
to burn it first.

No thanks, sister.

[knocking]

\h\h\hThat‘s them.
Best behavior, ok?

\h\hOh, I‘m always
on my best behavior.

This home is truly
\h\hone of a kind.

It combines history,
tradition, homeyness,

all in one breathtaking space.

And you can see the meticulous
\h\hattention to the woodwork.

Porticos, crown molding,
\h\h\h\h\h\hthe mantle,

all can be restored.

Oh, we‘re just gonna rip it out.

And replace the library
\h\h\h\h\h\hwith a gym.

[piano music begins]

What‘s that music?

It‘s a player piano.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Ruby singing]
♪ Sunny days are here again, ♪

♪ the skies above
are clear again, ♪

♪ let us sing a song
\hof cheer again, ♪

♪ happy days are here again! ♪

[piano continues to play]

Did I mention the house comes
with an antique player piano?

Oh, you can just toss it.

We‘re not big music people.

[abruptly stops playing]

Uh, um... I’m sorry, I hate
\h\h\h\hto say this but uh,

I... I don’t think this house
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\his for you.

\hI’m sorry, I really am,
but thank you for coming.

I’ll show you out.

Excuse me, I-

-This way.
\h\h-Wh...

[Anna] Bye-bye.

I‘d say that went well.

Ruby, I need this sale.

My dad trusted me with this

and I have no other
\hcareer prospects.

\hAnd honestly, nothing
going right in my life.

And plus, I‘m trying
\h\h\h\hto help you.

And jeepers, that‘s mighty
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hkind of you.

But ever think that maybe
it‘s the other way around?

That maybe I‘m here to help you?

Help me with what?

Oh, let‘s see.

You pine for your fella,
\h\htake daddy‘s orders,

\h\hand mope around
like a little ghost.

Maybe we‘re brought together

so that I could bring some
\h\h\hlife back into you.

Should I keep going?

Nope. Nope, that was sufficient,
thank you.

Fine.

\hThen you help me
and I‘ll help you.

But this house has to go.

I need this.

[buzzing sounds]

What is that?

Why are you always tapping
\h\h\hat that little box?

It‘s a cell phone.

It‘s like a computer meets
\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha land line.

Ok, it‘s like um,
the postal service

combined with a telephone.

Oh, so you can send someone
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha post?

Uh-huh.

Then send a post to Elliot.

Why would I do that?

\h\h\hBecause I was thinking
about ways I could help you.

After all, I‘ve always
\hloved charity work.

And I realized I could help you
by doing what I always did best.

Making smarmy and outdated digs?

By matchmaking.

Except you‘re not matchmaking
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hElliot and me,

because we‘re done.

You two sure don‘t seem done.

Fine, then maybe this is about
\h\h\h\hyou two being friends.

\h\hMending broken hearts.
Letting bygones be bygones.

I wish I had gotten to do that
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith my Charlie.

Yeah. Yeah, you‘re right.
There‘s a lot left unsaid.

So ask him for dinner.

Oh, no. Dinner is a date.
\h\hThis is making peace.

Peace is coffee at best.

Fine. Then write him,
\h"My dearest Elliot,

"it is with great excitement
\h\hand trepidation that..."

You sent him a cartoon
\h\h\hof a cup of Joe?

Yeah. It means coffee.

Why would anyone want
\h\h\hto meet someone

just to have a cup
\h\h\h\hof coffee?

[notification alert]

What‘s that little hand mean?

It‘s a thumbs up.
\h\hIt means yes.

So that‘s how people
\h\hcommunicate now?

Ugh, tell me exactly what do you
do with all the time you save?

Eh...

Alright, let‘s get
\hyou presentable.

[chuckles] Oh, no.
This is not a date.

I‘m not gonna dress up.

You don‘t dress up for him,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdarling.

You dress up for yourself.

[curious music]

Wow. What is this place?

These are my things.

This is where I spend
\h\hmost of my time.

May I?

Knock yourself out.

Charlie was handsome.

Yeah, a real Valentino.
\h\h\h\hAnd a good man.

Honest, chivalrous.
\h\h\h\hUproarious.

He kinda reminds me of Elliot.

Well... no more distractions.

Do you have any makeup?

So, tell me about your Elliot.
\h\h\h\h\hHow‘d you two meet?

My senior year of college.

I was living off campus and he
\hwas my building‘s handyman.

I met him and I immediately
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfell for him.

Yeah? Why?

He was hilarious.

\hAnd passionate, and he seemed
to know his place in the world.

And I’d spent my whole life
feeling like I was floating,

never really sure of who I am
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hor what I want.

But with him I felt... anchored.

Hmm.

How about Charlie?
How did you meet?

Oh, he was my chauffeur.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe help.

Obviously, my father
\h\h\hnever approved

but Charlie could
have been anyone.

A pauper, a prince...

I would have fallen in love with
him at first sight all the same.

Oh, I know that feeling well.

See? Your Elliot ain‘t the only
restoration specialist.

[laughs]

Don‘t forget this.

Oh, thanks.

You really can‘t go outside?

And what have you been doing
for the past hundred years?

\hOh, brush my hair.
Look out the window.

Re-read Gatsby.

You start to notice new things
\h\h\h\hon the 12,000th read.

\hAnd what happens
if you go outside?

Imagine the cosmic equivalent of
being hit by a giant frying pan.

Oh yeah, I remember that.

Let‘s try again.

I‘ve tried a million times.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI can‘t.

Yes, but you also thought
that no one could see you

and now I can.

So maybe this is
like the house.

Maybe you can go outside
\h\h\hif you‘re with me.

No, I can‘t.

Hmm, you can‘t or you‘re
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hscared to?

Ruby Baker isn‘t scared
\h\h\h\h\hof anything!

Oh, but I think she is.

I think this whole bravado
\h\h\h\his just for show.

Show?

I‘m an icon.

I am a legend.

\h\h\hYou should be grateful
I‘m gracing you with my time!

Oh, I‘m eternally grateful.
\h\hBut you should be, too.

Why is that?

Because you‘re outside.

So I am.

I‘ve spent a hundred years
dreaming of feeling the sun

on my face.

And, how does it feel?

Ruby, do you wanna go
\h\h\h\hfor a drive?

Meet the 2020‘s?

As long as it‘s still a joyous
\h\hera of packed dance halls

celebrating national unity

and drinking from a collective
\h\h\h\h\hpunch bowl, I‘m in.

Ok. Let‘s go.

That lady is really crazy.

\hLook at all the women
wearing pants in public.

These days women can wear
\h\h\hwhatever they want.

Do whatever they want,
be whatever they want.

Lawyers, doctors-

President of the United States?

Not quite that yet.

\h\h\hWhat a strange
and beautiful world.

[door bell chimes]

Take a breath.

[inhales]

You got this.

Anna.

-Hi.
-Hi.

You uh, you‘ve changed
\h\h\h\h\h\hyour hair.

Yeah, it‘s a bit much.

I think it looks great.

You‘re welcome.

Don‘t eavesdrop.

-What‘s that?
\h\h\h\h-Huh?

\hOh, I’m just um...
well, I was scatting.

Bee bop dop, don’t eavesdrop.

Are you sure you‘re ok?

\h\h\hNo, to be honest I- I am a
little nervous about seeing you.

Yeah. [laughs]

Ditto.

Black coffee.

Thank you.

Pumpkin spice with extra whip.

Thank you.

I knew you wanted it.

-Well, I-
\h-So I-

...you go ahead.

I wanted to tell you
\h\hthat I‘m sorry.

For what, exactly?

For not communicating better.
\h\h\h\h\h\hFor quitting us.

Hurting you.

\h\h\h\h\h\hIt’s just...
you were my best friend.

And despite everything I-

\h\hI hope that someday
we can be friends again.

I hope that, too.

\hAnna, there‘s something that
I should have told you earlier.

Um, I‘ve decided to move
\h\hto Boston full time.

You what?

Yeah.

It‘s just there‘s a lot
\h\h\h\h\hof work there

\hso I‘m just in town waiting
for the historical designation

to come through and then
\h\h\h\hI‘m heading out.

What happens if the Fletcher
\h\hbuilding gets approved?

Oh, I‘ll pop back in for it.

But maybe this is a good thing.

Maybe we both need
\h\ha fresh start.

I‘m sorry.

No, Anna, don‘t let
\hthis be goodbye.

You don‘t want it to end
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthis way.

Believe me.

\h\h\hDon‘t go.
Don‘t leave her.

You don‘t want this
\h\hto be goodbye.

\hBy the way, how‘s
your listing going?

\h\h\h\hOh, um... yeah,
it’s going pretty good.

I‘m just asking ´cause when
I dropped by the other day

I saw there was some damage
on the cherry wood mantle.

Yeah, it could use
\hsome restoring.

Maybe if you‘re not busy you
can come by and take a look?

One last job before you leave.

I uh, can‘t promise
that I‘ll have time

but I will come take
\h\h\ha closer look.

Great. Thank you.

Okay.

Matchmaker Ruby strikes again.

Seriously?

What about what just happened
\h\h\h\hmakes you think that?

Elliot said he‘s moving away.

So? We‘ll have to find
\h\ha way to stop him.

Do you want to stop him?

Yeah, I do.

Because I don‘t just want
\h\h\h\hto be his friend.

I wanna spend my life
\h\h\h\h\h\hwith him.

\h\h\hBecause I love him
and I‘ll always love him.

Then let‘s get him back.

Ruby, why are you so invested
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin this?

Is it boredom?

No, of course not, toots.

\hThis is something
far more important.

Pure self-interest.

Of course.

\h\hCall it sixth sense
but I have the feeling--

no, a knowing deep in my bones.

I mean, you get
what I‘m saying.

That if you get back
\h\h\h\hwith Elliot

I can get back to my Charlie.

[cheerful music]

-Hola, mi querida.
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Hola.

How‘s my star realtor doing?

Ah. Living the dream.

And how‘s the house looking?

I still don‘t understand why you
didn‘t sell to that nice couple.

I told you, it wasn‘t
\h\h\hthe right fit.

I want our clients to be happy.

Anyway, the house looks great,
\h\h\h\h\hbut I was wondering

if I could just have a few
\hmore days to fix it up.

But we‘re not fixing it up,
\h\h\h\hwe‘re flipping it.

I know, I know, but if I just
\h\h\h\h\hhad a few more days

I could restore the wood
\h\h\h\h\hand it would-

\h\h\hBut we‘re not restoring.
We‘re selling it and moving on.

[sighs]

This is a fresh start, Anna.

And the open house is in a week
or, to be more exact, six days.

Show me you can do this

and the sky‘s the limit
\h\h\h\h\hfor you here.

You‘ll be running the whole
\h\h\h\h\h\hbusiness soon.

Thanks, Dad.

[mysterious music]

[jazz music playing]

♪

Why are you always winking?

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[gasps]
Why are you sneaking up on me?

I‘m sorry, I didn‘t know
\h\hghosts got spooked.

[both laugh]

A wink says it all.

Playfulness, flirtation,
\h\h\h\h\h\hconnection.

It says you‘re in on the joke

\h\h\hbut don‘t forget
I‘m the one telling it.

That‘s a lot to say
\hwith one gesture.

And sadly I can‘t wink.

Oh, everyone can wink.

Oh, you can‘t wink.

But I can teach you.

[knocking]

Oh, ok. That must be Elliot.

\h\h\hI‘m still working on
the historical designation

and the renovation plans so I‘ll
have to schedule around that

but I can take care of this.

Really?

Yeah.

Great, thanks.

Anna!

Elliot!

What a surprise.

Nice to see you and Anna
\h\h\h\h\hworked it out.

Or maybe this isn‘t a purely
\h\h\h\h\h\hpersonal visit.

Terrence, is there something
\h\h\hwe can help you with?

I was just checking in on Anna.

Offering to lend a helping hand
again in case you need it.

Oh, well, how thoughtful.
\h\hBut uh, I‘m all good.

Anna, I‘ve been working day
\h\hand night for your dad

for the last 15 years.

I‘m not just gonna let you
\h\h\h\h\h\hswoop in here

and take what‘s rightfully mine.

So what you‘re trying to say

is you‘re not actually here
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto help.

I‘ll see myself out.

Have a great day, Terrence.

You‘re a prince.

Don‘t I know it.

Um, do you want a drink?

I have a package of delicious
\h\h\h\h\h\happle cider mix.

Fancy.

How could I resist?

I‘ll be back.

It’s all going according
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto plan.

We’ll make some gin gimlets,
\h\h\h\hcook a ham soufflé,

turn up the romance...
\hwhat’s the problem?

It’s just... we didn’t work
\h\h\h\h\h\hthe first time.

\h\h\hWhat makes you think
we’re gonna work this time?

And what if I get cold feet?

Or what if you don‘t?

What if you don‘t take
another shot with him

and you spend eternity
\h\h\hwishing you had?

Anna, you don‘t want to spend
\h\h\h\h\hyour life like me.

Full of wasted love for someone
you pushed away.

So... do you believe
\h\h\h\h\hin ghosts?

[laughs]

Like... like do I believe
\h\hthat there are ghosts

just hanging around my apartment
watching me burn toast?

Misplace my keys?

Mmhmm.

No, I don‘t think so.

Anna, I do accept your apology,

and I also need to say
\h\h\hI‘m sorry, too.

Because it wasn‘t just you.
I let our business collapse.

Oh, that wasn‘t your fault.

It felt like it was.

And also I let your dad
\h\h\h\h\h\hget to me.

\hMake me feel like I was never
going to be good enough for you

\hjust because I... I don‘t have
a college degree or a fancy job.

I‘m sorry about that.

And yeah, you broke off
\h\h\h\hthe engagement,

but I’d pulled back
\hlong before then.

Because I was trying
to connect with you

but I just felt like you kept
getting more and more distant

until it was like I was
\h\h\htrying to love--

A ghost?

Well, actually yeah.

But hey, we‘re trying to learn
\h\h\hfrom it and grow, right?

Yeah, yeah. Definitely.

\hBecause I wouldn‘t want
to be someone who‘s stuck

and couldn‘t move on.

I‘m really sorry I said that.

No, it‘s fine. Really.

Anyways, I really should
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbe going.

Thank you for this.

Oh, yeah.

But... I‘ll see you tomorrow?

Yes.

Alright.

\hHey, by the way, I think the
camellia tree needs some love.

It‘s yellowing and browning
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hat the tips.

You might want to call in
\h\h\h\h\h\han arborist.

Oh, yeah. Will do.

Anna, this was nice.

Yes, it was.

Despite of all our history
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand drama...

\hwell, you know, failed
engagement, no big deal.

You are my best friend.

And I don’t want to imagine
\h\h\h\h\h\ha life where...

\h\hI don’t want a life
where we’re not friends.

Me neither.

Good.

[sighs]

[jazz music playing]

Oh, this was New
Year‘s Eve 1923.

Charlie took me to the top of
\h\hPike‘s Peak and we danced

under the moonlight and
then well... he asked me
\h\h\h\h\hto marry him.

Mmm.

I‘m sure he missed you terribly.

Oh, he better have.

[laughs]

What do you think his life
\h\h\hwas like after you?

I don‘t know.

I always thought he‘d be
\h\h\h\ha great teacher

but he worried he wasn‘t
\h\h\h\h\hsmart enough.

I suppose you‘ll find out soon
\henough when you‘re reunited.

Oh, wow. Your whole house
\h\h\h\hwas so gorgeous.

Wait a minute, is this furniture
still here?

Yeah, in the basement.

What if we staged the rooms

\h\hsimilar to this
for the open house?

Oh, I‘d love that.

And before you start asking me
\h\hfor help moving furniture,

\hconsider Elliot‘s got
some mighty big muscles.

Noted.

And also, we can frame
\h\hsome photos of you

and hang them around the house.

Oh, raise the property value?

\h\hAnd, if it‘s ok with you, I
could frame a photo of Charlie.

I‘d like that.

Let‘s uh, group the armchairs
\h\h\h\h\h\h\htogether here,

make your hard work on the
fireplace the focal point.

Ok.

\hI think there‘s a rug upstairs
that will tie this all together.

What? What is it?

Nothing.

\h\hI just uh, I like seeing
this passionate side of you.

You‘re very creative.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThanks.
I like feeling this way.

Well, that mantle is not gonna
\h\h\h\h\h\hfix itself, so...

Yeah.

Valentino is doing quite
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe job.

And jeepers, I‘m blind by the
torches you two are carrying.

You have to tell him
\h\h\hhow you feel.

No, I‘ll scare him away.

Plus, I‘m not even sure
\h\h\h\h\h\hhow I feel.

Oh, you‘re not? Really?

What‘s with you, sister?

It‘s like every time you start
\h\h\h\h\h\hto feel something

you shut it down.

Well, I guess I‘m not the best
\h\hat expressing my emotions.

Well, if you can‘t express it
\h\h\h\h\hthen write it down.

I‘ve got boxes of love letters
\h\h\h\h\hto and from Charlie.

Oh, I‘m not much of a writer.

Don‘t I know it.

Your love letter
would probably be

a cartoon of a heart followed by
a question mark.

[laughs]

Yeah.

If you were to write Elliot,
\h\h\h\hwhat would you say?

Mmm, uh...

I’d say that he’s both
the most normal person

and the most extraordinary
\h\hperson I’ve ever met.

I’d say that he’s the first
person I ever felt seen by.

And that I love seeing him.

I’d say that I was worried
that he’d get tired of me,

bored with me.

\h\h\h\h\hWorried that I somehow
would ruin us like I did before.

I‘ll get a pen and paper.

No!

I‘m not writing that.

Hey, I‘m just about done.

Maybe a half day or so
\h\h\h\h\h\hleft here.

But I wanted to give you
\h\h\h\h\ha sneak peek.

Oh. Yeah, it looks beautiful.

Thank you.

Thanks. It‘s a labor of love.

Hey, do you need any more help
with the, you know, furniture?

Staging?

Oh, thank you, but no,
\h\hI think I‘m good.

I just uh, I need to go
pick up a few key items

to bring the whole
\h\hroom together.

You know, the antique shop
\h\h\h\hon the boardwalk,

they might have all that.

Oh, yeah. Good suggestion.
\h\h\h\hI‘ll check it out.

[Ruby] He‘s asking you out,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hEinstein.

Is he?

What‘d you say?

I said... um, well, I was going
to say that I uh, well,

you’re probably busy

but would you like to go
\h\h\hantiquing with me?

Yeah, sure. I think
that would be great.

Great. I‘ll go clean up.

[cheerful music]

This place is amazing.

Oh, this doorknob would be
\hperfect for the parlor.

And this vase.

I mean, this would be great
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin the hall

under the painting
of what‘s her name.

Ruby, you bozo.

It‘s Ruby.

Right.

That whole foyer area
\h\his just a dream.

\hIf I had time I would restore
all of the antique wainscoting.

[Anna] But you have to get
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto Boston.

Yeah. [clears throat]
\h\hI uh... I guess.

But the historical designation
\h\h\h\h\h\his taking forever.

But you think it‘ll pass?

I‘m not sure.

\hI‘m fighting hard but I might
be just the king of lost causes.

Yep.

How‘s it going?

Oh, I honestly don‘t know.

Well, what about you?

Do you see anything
\hyou like in here?

\h\hAre you kidding?
I see my whole life,

\h\hthe silverware,
the perfume bottles.

\h\hthey even have a typewriter
like the one Charlie bought me.

It cost him two week‘s salary,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbut...

He wanted me to take
my writing seriously.

He wanted me to take
\hmyself seriously.

Hey.

Are we done here?

Um...

Yeah, we‘re done.

Yeah, we‘re done.

Alright.

Hi.

I love the fall season.

Nothing like a stroll
on the boardwalk, huh?

Charlie and I used to come here.

Hey, do you remember when
\h\hwe used to come here?

Ferris wheel and funnel cake?

\hThat feels like
another lifetime.

Some things never change.

We were so young.

Hey, we‘re still young!

I‘m 125.

[Boothkeep] Step right up.
\h\h\h\h\h\hStep right up.

\hTry your luck at
the Pumpkin House.

Enough with the phone already.

Hey.

You know how I never did win you
that giant panda

you had your heart set on?

It‘s never too late.

[fireworks explode]

Here you go, sir.

Thank you.

Ok, you‘ve got this.

Alright, come on, come on,
\h\h\h\hcome on, come on.

-Woo!
-Hey!

-Yes!
-Yeah!

One more!

\h\hLast one.
Are you ready?

Yes!

\hI‘ll take that one
right there, please.

Thank you.

Here you are.

At long last.

Well, how could I ever
\h\h\h\h\h\hrepay you?

Are you hungry?

Are you thinking funnel cake?

I was thinking more like...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThe Carlyle.

The Carlyle it is.

[jazz music plays]

I’m just a fool, a fool
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h♪

[clears throat]

\h\h\hOh, I‘m sorry.
Old habits die hard.

That‘s ok, you know?

You can steal my French fries
\h\h\h\h\h\hjust like you did

when we came here on
our very first date.

And like you have every
\h\h\h\h\h\hsingle time

we‘ve gone out to eat
\h\h\h\h\hsince then.

Well, thank you.

You‘re welcome.

But I just don‘t understand
\h\hwhy, if you want fries,

you don‘t just order them.

Because I- I don‘t want
\h\h\h\h\hmy own fries.

I just want to share yours.

Oh.

Um... hey, would you excuse me
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hfor a minute?

Yeah.

I‘ll be right back.

What‘s happening?

I don’t know.

\hHe’s hot, then he’s cold, but
he flirts, then he pulls away...

Maybe he‘s just playing
\h\h\h\h\hhard to get.

Or maybe he‘s just
\hnot interested.

What‘s that?

It‘s a charge card.

It‘s like money.

So you‘re gonna pay
\h\h\h\hfor dinner

and then sulk out of here
\h\h\h\h\h\hall forlorn.

No, we won‘t leave
\h\hhere defeated.

Ask him to dance.

No!

Don‘t look at me like that.

What‘re you doing?

Getting you to the dance floor.

Ruby, what‘re you- come back!

[whispers] You...

What‘re you doing?

Oh, um... I’m just...

Go on, ask him to dance.

Ask her to dance.

Come on. Make this a moment
to remember.

Take her in your arms-

\h\h\hWould you like to dance?
You know, for old time‘s sake?

I‘d love to.

♪ And I swear I will share ♪

all my heart with you. ♪

I want you to see,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h♪

I can‘t.

I can‘t. I‘m sorry.

-I think we should go.
-♪ I’m just a fool... ♪

[upbeat music]

Is it going to be ok?

Is it going to be ok?

It‘s old, it‘s nearing
\hthe end of its life.

Well, is there anything
\h\h\hwe can do for it?

\hThere‘s nothing to do.
That‘s the cycle of life.

We all have to let go
\h\h\hat some point.

Thank you for coming.

Hey, no problem.

[melancholy music]

\h\h\hRuby, I‘m sorry.
I‘ll plant a new tree.

I don‘t want a new tree.

I want this tree.

Charlie‘s tree.

The last time I saw him
\hhe brought me flowers

but I didn‘t take them.
\hHe dropped them here.

And they grew into this tree?

Ruby, it‘s gonna be ok--

No, it‘s not ok.

I broke a good man‘s heart

and I never got the chance
\h\h\h\hto say I‘m sorry.

I hurt him and I was selfish.

I was always selfish,

and Charlie was the one person
\h\h\h\h\hwho saw more in me.

Who saw good in me.

I see good in you, too.

Thank you.

So the open house is tomorrow.

Anything else we need to do?

Just buy some water bottles
\hand candy to have around.

Water bottles and candy?

What kind of sad shindig
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\his this?

Well, it isn‘t a shindig.

But it could be one.

\hYou‘re selling a house
designed to entertain in.

So entertain!

[gasps] Everything‘s already
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdecorated ’20s

so what if we made it
a 20‘s-themed event?

A real Gatsby affair.

There isn‘t enough time.

Oh, come on.

I‘ve thrown bigger parties
\h\h\h\hwith less notice.

Well, I already have
\h\h\hso much to do.

Oh, but you won’t do a thing.

\h\h\hI can work your phone,
I’ll take care of everything.

\h\hTinkling jazz,
speakeasy drinks...

Ooh, shrimp toast.

A party for the ages.

Except it’s not a party.
\h\hIt’s an open house.

It’s quiet, simple...

Ok, a quiet simple-themed
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hopen house

with a few drinks and noshes.

And you won‘t go overboard?

Why, me? Oh, I‘d never.

Fine.

[phone dings]

Oh.

Ugh, I have to go meet my dad.

He‘s been texting me all day

about why Terrence saw Elliot
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hat the house.

Ooh, family drama?
\h\h\hCan I come?

[bell dings]

Have a great day.

Hi.

Querida.

What‘s this I hear about Elliot
working on the house?

And nice to meet you, too.

Well, I- I just couldn‘t let

that beautiful mantle piece
\h\h\h\h\h\hremain damaged.

I‘m paying Elliot
\hout of my fee.

Well, this isn‘t about
\h\h\hthe money, Anna.

\h\h\hThis is about you
turning over a new page,

but instead you keep turning
\h\h\h\hback to an old one.

Because there’s something...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthere.

\hI... there’s still
something between us.

I understand it‘s hard
\h\h\h\h\h\hto let go,

and you and Elliot were together
a long time,

but honey, you can‘t renovate
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\ha tear down.

Dad, look, everything‘s
\h\h\h\hunder control.

The open house is gonna be
\h\h\h\h\h\hone of a kind.

A 1920‘s-themed shindig.

[claps]

\h\hCreative. I like it.
I knew you had it in you.

Oh.

Alright, querida.
\hI‘ve gotta run.

Wait, I thought we were
\h\h\h\hhaving coffee.

I‘m sorry, clients are waiting.

Well, that‘s my dad.
\hWhat do you think?

I think if reincarnation exists

I know where my dad
\h\h\h\h\hended up.

[laughs]

Hey. Sorry I‘m late.

I was stuck at the Historical
\h\h\h\h\h\hSociety all day.

\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, it‘s ok.
Did they make a decision?

No. No, they‘re busy distracted

with some big retail centre
that‘s taking top billing.

But tomorrow is my day.

Well, I hope it goes well.

Thank you.

Also, I just want to clear
\h\h\hthe air immediately.

I read your letter.

What letter?

This letter.

It was beautiful.

And I‘ve never seen you write
\h\h\h\h\hin cursive before.

\h\h\h\hUh... well, I uh...
I wanted to make it special.

Well, thank you
for sharing it.

I didn‘t know a lot of this.

And when I was reading it
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI realized

I didn‘t know what
\hI meant to you.

Really?

Well, that breaks my heart.

Because you meant everything
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto me,

and I should have told you
\h\h\h\h\ha long time ago.

Because I‘ve thought it
\h\h\hall these years.

I still do.

So it kind of sounds like
\h\h\h\h\h\hmaybe you...

you want to give us
\h\h\hanother shot?

Yeah.

I do.

I want that, too.

A part of me does.

There is another part of me
\h\h\h\h\h\hthat‘s worried.

I know, and you‘re moving
\h\h\h\h\hto Boston soon.

I guess I just need some time
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto think.

Of course.

[knocking]

-Hey.
-Hey.

Well, I‘m pretty much done.

I just want to come back
\h\h\h\hand double check

everything in the daylight.

Great. Well, thank you.

How much do I owe you?

\h\h\h\h\hNothing.
No, this is on me.

\hThis is a very special place
and I feel like it’s the house

\hfrom your drawing
come to life, so...

Yeah, me too.

Well, good luck tomorrow
\h\h\h\hat the hearing.

What time is it?

9:00.

Oh, then can I come?

I have my open house at noon

but I‘d love to be there
\h\h\h\hto support you.

Yeah, I‘d love that.

You can comfort me when I‘m
rejected for the third time.

[laughs]

\h\h\hJust kidding.
I think it‘s a win.

Anna, you understand why
\hI‘m hesitant about us.

I do.

But I‘m also hopeful.

Goodnight.

Oh, goodnight.

[door closes]

[hopeful music]

It‘s all happening!

Nothing‘s for sure.

Yes, it is.

\h\hI saw his eyes
and I can feel it.

Something‘s shifting in me.
\h\hSomething‘s unsticking.

Well, maybe you‘ll be
\hwith Charlie soon.

What‘s wrong?

Oh, just...

I always wanted to believe
\h\hCharlie waited for me

but I also wanted him
\h\h\h\hto be happy.

To have love.

\hPart of me wanted him to have
found someone else and moved on.

Move on from you? Impossible.

[laughs]

Right answer, sweetheart.

But the truth is...

I‘m afraid that I‘ll cross over
and I won‘t find him waiting.

Maybe I haven‘t wanted to cross
over for that very reason.

Hmm.

Oh, Anna, I‘m ready to go.

I don‘t want to be
\h\halone anymore.

\hAs much as you‘ve made this
house feel like a home again.

I don‘t belong here.

I‘m also scared.

I wish I could hug you.

Me too.

A hundred years is a long time
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwithout a hug.

Well, how about we dance?

Really?

Yeah. You can teach me
\h\h\hthe Charleston.

Absolutely! Oh, one second.

-Alright. Are you ready?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes.

[The Charleston playing]

So, you go backwards
with your left foot.

Yes.

Left. Oh, you‘ve got it!

Now, add in the arms.

[laughs]

Get free with it.
\h\h\hGet weird.

[Ruby] Isn’t this a ball?

I just love it.

Ok, so right, back.

She‘s lost it.

♪

[typing message]

\hWait ’til you see
this shindig later.

You‘re gonna plop.

What?

Terrence is having his open
house the same time as ours.

And he‘s doing champagne
\h\hand hors d‘oeuvres.

Oh, that weasel.

My dad must have told him
\h\h\h\h\habout our plans

and he‘s trying to outdo us.

So we‘ll just have to make our
open house bigger and better.

\h\hWell, not bigger.
Maybe not even better.

We can‘t go overboard.

By the way, I got your photos
\h\h\h\hback from the framer.

I was thinking we should put it
near your portrait.

Oh, it‘s beautiful.

Alright, I gotta get going.
I gotta get to the hearing.

But I feel like I should stay
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand help prep.

No, go. Everything‘s taken
\h\h\h\h\h\hcare of here.

You‘re gonna be astounded.

Oh, well, no, don‘t astound me
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htoo much.

\h\h\hI mean it, Ruby.
This needs to go well.

Okay.

\h\hAs for the location of
the proposed retail centre

the plans are still
\h\h\hunder review

pending the environmental
\h\h\h\h\himpact report.

Sorry, these meetings drag.

Oh, no worries.

\hAnd our next agenda item is
whether the Fletcher Building

\his of significant historical
merit to warrant preservation.

Now, we have thoroughly debated
this proposal

and are prepared
to take a vote...

right after a short recess.

[phone dings]

Will you excuse me?

Yeah.

Dad, what‘s going on?

Anna, where are you?

I‘m downtown.

Well I‘m at your listing.

\h\hI‘ll be there at 11:30.
Everything is under control.

Really?

Then why did I get a call saying
your company credit card

has been maxed out?

And then I come here
\h\h\hto find chaos.

Two caterers fighting
\h\hover the kitchen,

a whole bar and bartending crew
hired, a six-piece jazz band?

And what‘s with this video
\h\h\hof you dancing and-

dancing and talking to yourself?

What video?

Terrence came by your listing
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hlast night,

saw you acting out of sorts, was
concerned and reached out to me.

\h\h\hYeah, I bet he did.
Ok, I‘m coming right now.

[uneventful music]

Hey.

I took care of it.

I sent everyone home and
cancelled the open house.

Cancelled, why?

Because my reputation
\h\h\his on the line,

and I‘m not gonna have people
\h\h\hshow up for a disaster.

I‘m sorry, Dad.

\h\h\h\h\hNo, I‘m sorry.
This- this was too much.

I should have started you
\h\h\h\h\h\hoff smaller.

So what‘re you gonna do?

I‘m giving it to Terrence.

And as for you, maybe you should
shadow me a while.

Get a better feel for the job.

\hHey, what happened?
Did you get approved?

Yeah, we got approved.

What happened to you?
\h\h\hYou just left.

This was important to me

\h\h\hand I thought you said
you wanted to be supportive.

No, I- I do. I did.

I... I sent you a text.

Uh... "gotta get to the house".

That’s not super communicative,
Anna.

I know, I’m sorry, but there
\h\h\hwas an emergency here.

I... I botched
the open house.

Or, it wasn’t me but it...

But- but what?

But nothing.

Anna, there‘s clearly been
something going on with you

and whatever it is
\hyou can tell me.

Except I can‘t.

Why not?

Because I just can‘t, I‘m sorry.
This is really complicated.

It‘s complicated?

This is like I‘m having
\h\h\h\h\ha flashback.

You‘re- you disappear.
You pull away from me.

You‘re distant.

It‘s not that.

It feels like that.

It feels exactly like
\h\hit used to feel.

It feels like you don‘t know
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwhat you want.

It feels like nothing‘s changed.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo, what?
You‘re just gonna leave?

You‘re just gonna quit?

No, I‘m not the one
\hwho quits, Anna.

You quit.

And maybe that‘s for the best

because maybe we‘re something
\h\h\h\hthat should be quit.

Maybe we‘re just two people
who love each other dearly

and are always going to be
\h\h\h\h\h\ha lost cause.

Ruby?

Ruby?

Ruby?

Ruby. Why?

You knew how much
this meant to me.

You knew how much
\hI needed this.

I knew how much you thought
\h\h\h\h\hyou needed this,

but did you even
\hwant this job?

\hI wanted to get
my life together.

I just wanted something
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin a time

where it feels like
\h\hI have nothing.

Anna, I‘m sorry.

\h\hNo, I‘m sorry
for trusting you.

I was really just trying
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto help.

Were you?

Or were you just trying to throw
yourself one last big hurrah?

You‘re saying I did this for me?

I‘m saying it‘s in character.

After all, you did describe
\h\h\hyourself as selfish.

Well, I might be selfish
\h\h\hbut you‘re stingy.

Stingy? Do tell.

Yeah, you‘re stingy.

Stingy with love,
stingy with life.

You float through living

\h\hbecause you‘re so scared
to get attached to anything.

And you‘re attached
\h\htoo much, Ruby!

You should let go.

You should go, because nobody
\h\h\hwants you here anymore.

[melancholy music]

Ruby, wait.

Charlie, I‘ve been so afraid
\h\h\h\h\h\hall these years

that you won‘t be there with me
when I cross over.

I can‘t stay here anymore.

There‘s nothing here for me.

So whatever happens

it‘ll need to be enough that
I love you and always will.

Even if I‘ll never get to be
\h\h\h\h\h\hwith you again.

[Anna] Ruby, where are you?

Ruby, are you here?

\h\h\h\hPlease come out,
let‘s talk this through.

Ruby, I‘m snooping through your
things so come out and stop me.

“Ruby pie, you believe that
\h\h\h\h\hthere are people

"you only meet on stage
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hor screen

\h"or in the pages of a book
that can never exist in life.

"Then with all her wit
and sprit, Ruby Baker
\hproves that wrong."

F. Scott Fitzgerald.

You have a letter
from Fitzgerald?

Unbelievable.

\h\hAnd one from
Josephine Baker.

“Ruby, as always your notes
are the finest prose I know.

"Why are you wasting time
\h\h\h\hscribbling to me

"instead of working on your
\h\h\h\hnovel?” Hemingway.

This is from Hemingway.

[phone rings]

Hey, Dad.

I have good news for you.

I‘ve decided to give you
\h\h\h\h\h\hanother shot

and I‘ve found you
\ha condo to sell.

New construction,
\h\h\h\hturn key.

Ok. And what about
\h\h\h\hthe house?

Terrence already found a buyer.

Who?

Some shell company is buying it
as a tear-down.

They sign tomorrow.

No, Dad, please-

\h\h\h\h\h\hI‘m sorry.
You can‘t get attached.

\h\h\hCheck your email
for the condo listing.

I love you.

No, Dad--

[melancholy music]

Ruby, please come out!

The house is gonna get torn down
and I don‘t know what to do.

[teary] Please tell me
\h\h\h\h\hwhat to do.

[hopeful music]

Hey.

Are you buying
the Baker home?

\h\h\h\hYes. Anna,
what‘re you doing?

I‘m making sure we‘ve disclosed

any encumbrances a buyer
\h\h\h\h\hmight take on.

What‘re you talking about?
There are no encumbrances.

\hExcept for the property
potentially being declared

a historical site.

What?

I stopped by

the historical preservation
\h\h\hsociety this morning

and I filed to have
\h\hthe Baker house

declared a historical landmark.

On what grounds?

On the grounds of the house
\h\hbeing the Baker estate

designed by famed architect
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hArthur Salkin

for the Baker family,

including Ruby Baker,
\ha 1920‘s socialite.

\h\h\hIn that house she hosted
Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Chaplin.

And since I presented letters
of said people to prove that,

the application is now pending.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hPending.
Pending doesn‘t mean anything.

These applications get rejected
all the time.

\hTrue, but it takes time
to reject or approve them.

\h\hAnd in that time no work
can be done on the property.

\hAnd if it does pass then
any work on the Baker house

has to be done under strict
\h\hhistorical guidelines.

Luckily I know a great restorer.

Anna, what was that?

I gave you a shot and you
\h\hturned it against me.

\h\h\hI‘m sorry, but I did
what I think is right here.

And I know it‘s easier
\hto just tear it down

and build something new
\h\h\h\h\hin its place.

To not get attached.

That‘s not how I wanna
\h\h\h\hlive my life.

I finally know what I want,

and that‘s to pour myself
\h\h\h\h\hinto something,

even if it‘s a lost cause
\h\h\hbecause who knows?

Dad, I love you so much

but I‘m not you and I
\hdon‘t wanna be you.

I wanna be me.

I don‘t want your company.

Give it to Terrence.

What I do want is a relationship
with you.

\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA real one.
One that we‘re both heard.

And Elliot is gone,

\hand I highly doubt
that he‘s coming back

but if he did... I‘d like
\h\h\h\h\h\hyour support.

Mi amor, vente pa’ca.

[emotional music]

Anna?

[knocking]

Anna?

[knocking]

Anna? Are you here?

I just came to get my tools
\hbefore I head to Boston.

What? No, no.
\hYou can‘t.

No, Elliot!

Elliot!

Don‘t go.

No, you and Anna are meant
\h\h\h\h\hto be together.

\hYou don‘t want to make
this mistake, believe me.

[smash]

He was the love of my life.

Just like Anna is the love
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hof yours.

Elliot.

What‘re you doing here?

I forgot my tools.

Fletcher‘s been approved

\h\h\h\hso I came to get them
before heading to Boston but-

No, but-

Can you tell me why you have
a picture of my great uncle?

Your what?

Charlie Ward.

\hI never met him but
I‘ve seen old photos.

This is him.

Supposedly he was
the best of men.

A chauffeur, a war hero.

He lost the love of his life

and he remained a bachelor
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hafter that.

But he became a teacher.
\h\h\h\h\hHe lived well.

\hHe touched a lot
of people‘s lives.

Um...

Can you please excuse me
\h\hfor just one minute?

Please don’t leave, ok?
\h\h\h\hJust... please.

[door slams]

He waited for me.

Of course he did.

And now I‘ll be with him again.

Just like you‘ll be
\h\h\hwith Elliot.

\h\h\h\h\h\hRuby?
What‘s happening?

Don‘t you see, Anna?
It‘s all connected.

Me and Charlie,
you and Elliot.

\h\hIt‘s your fate- our fate,
that has brought us together.

This is what I‘ve been
\h\h\h\h\hwaiting for.

But what will I do
\h\h\hwithout you?

Oh, I‘ve taught you
the steps, sister.

Now it‘s up to you
\h\hto dance them.

And thank you.

For what?

For being my friend.

Everybody needs a friend.

And you‘ll always have me
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin spirit.

[laughs]

I feel that.

Me too.

Go.

My sweet Charlie.

\h\h\h\hThat was Charlie.
That was my uncle Charlie.

Yeah.

How is this even possible?

Well, I told you it was gonna
\h\h\h\h\hbe hard to explain.

But I‘ll explain it all
if you give me a chance.

\hIf you give us
one more chance.

\h\h\hBecause I love you,
and I‘ll always love you.

Ok, well that was-
that was my speech,

if you have any thoughts.

Yes, I do.

I liked your speech,

and I know we have
a lot of history,

and we have a lot of work to do
but I wanna do the work.

Because we don‘t quit.

We restore.

So let‘s just restore us.
