[Mom] So glad, baby.

[Hattie] And thank you for the check.

[Dad] That was my idea. [laughs]

[Mom] You can use it for whatever you like.

[Hattie laughs]

Are Jill and Arya taking you to lunch?

Yes, ma'am, they are.

[Dad] Tell 'em we send our love.

Okay. I sure will.

Thank you so much for calling me

[Parents] You're welcome.

I love you gigantic.

[Parents] We love you more.

[Hattie chuckles]

[Mom] Hattie, any romantic plans this evening?

No, Mom.

I don't even have time to think about that.

I am too busy.

[Dad] Good.

That's when love usually comes along,

when you least expect it. [laughs]

[Parents] Bye.

Hey.

[Hattie] Yes.

I'm, uh, Henry.

I'm doing some yard work across the street.

I got this extra pot of flowers.

Your neighbors don't need it

and I can't return it.

You want it?

[Hattie] Well, that's very kind of you, but, um, no thank you.

I'm, I'm good.

[Henry] They're gonna be beautiful in a couple weeks,

I promise.

They're gonna be these beautiful yellow flowers.

[Hattie] I'm good.

[Henry] You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

- Okay. - Yeah.

[Utah barks]

- Oh, Utah. - [Henry] Oh, hey.

Hi. Hello.

What is your name? Huh?

Come here.

[Hattie] Utah!

Oh, that's so good.

[Henry chuckles]

Get back in here.

- [Henry] "Utah", huh? - Yeah.

[Henry] That's a good name for a dog.

[Hattie chuckles] Oh, thanks.

Yeah. Uh, thank you so much for the offer.

- [Henry] Sure. - Uh, but I guess

I gotta go, uh,

teach my dog how to not talk to strangers.

- Huh. Yeah. - [Hattie] So--

Yeah. Okay.

All right then.

- Have a good day. - [Hattie] Yeah, yeah.

[door slams]

[Hattie] So, when are you officially on maternity leave?

Mm, very close.

I'm editing the last episode of the series

and then I'm off the very next week.

Wow. Gosh, these eight months have flown.

Mm, for you. [laughs]

And the baby shower's comin' up.

Oh, I can't wait.

It's gonna be so fun.

[Hattie gasps]

She made it!

Happy birthday, Hattie girl.

Thank you.

How's the mother to many?

Mm, I'm fine.

I'm so sorry I'm late, guys.

- Mm. - Oh.

I had to take Micah, William,

and Luke to the dentist for their checkup,

and then Titus and Lyric

had two parent-teacher conferences.

And she still makes it in time for the dessert.

[group laughing]

I don't know how you do it.

I mean, it's gotta be like managing a herd of cats.

[Arya and Jill] Mm.

Get ready, Arya.

This is about to be your new reality.

[Arya] No, no, it's fine.

The more the merrier, guys.

Big families are where it's at. [laughs]

- [Waitress] For the birthday girl!

- [gasps] - [claps]

[Arya] Blow your candle.

Mmm.

- Happy birthday - Happy birthday.

Hattie, girl. [laughing]

So was your wish tall, dark, and handsome?

Oh, stop.

Open your gifts.

[Hattie] Okay. This was so sweet.

Hmm.

Oh, okay. Let's see.

A book about breathing

and a book about being fully qualified.

Okay.

[Arya] "Breathing Room" is a devotional book about balance,

something you know nothing about.

And "Fully Qualified"

is about how, with God's help, you can do anything.

And that involves things that are not work related.

You know you're a workaholic, right?

You should be attending meetings.

I am not. [chuckles]

Do they really have meetings for that?

[Arya] Ah, Hattie girl,

you know how much we love you, right?

We just want you to find the love of your life and...

get married.

Guys, it's just not a priority anymore.

I almost got married once,

and that might be as close as I ever get.

Bob does not count.

Bob was a complete jerk.

He doesn't deserve you.

We're just gonna erase that chapter from your life.

[Hattie sighs]

You know, you guys sound just like Mom and Dad.

Being single is not an unwanted plague, you know?

I am living a very full and wonderful life so far.

Ever since you were a little girl,

you dreamed of being married and having a family.

So we just wanna help you reclaim that balance.

Hello?

I mean, at this point,

I am the champion at putting lifelong dreams

on the back burner.

[soft music]

If you had another chance at the country music thing,

would you take it?

I think I've dealt with it in my own way,

and I'm okay with it not ever happening.

[soft music continues]

But guys, I, I get to write singalong songs for kids.

I feel so blessed.

I get to write songs for little kids and big people too.

[Jill] I heard one you wrote on the way over here.

[Hattie] Oh, which one?

"What Would Dolly Do?"

Oh, I love that song.

Thank you.

Yeah, you guys, I'm,

I'm really in a good place right now.

And I feel very content with my life,

with my career, and my dog and my fish.

But you are open to meeting humans too, right?

[soft music continues]

Open your last gift.

- [Jill] Mm-hmm. - [Arya laughs]

[Hattie] Oh, I didn't realize there was something else in here

in here.

Okay.

Y'all are too good to me.

[whimsical music]

A three-month subscription for a dating app?

[whimsical music]

[Arya laughs]

Have y'all lost your minds?

Do you have pregnancy brain?

You seriously know the horror stories

with this stuff, right?

[Jill] There are plenty of horror stories

about non-online dating too.

You're making my point.

Guys, I don't have time for a relationship.

- [Arya] Yes, you you do. - [Jill] You have to make time.

Do you wanna hear rest of our plan?

Do I have a choice?

[Arya] You look gorgeous. [chuckles]

But for now,

act naturally

and tell the camera what you're looking for.

Yep.

And then after we upload everything,

the app will automatically send you matches

based on the preferences that you fill out.

Oh, and your username is Beach Girl, for safety.

[Arya] All right.

Are you ready?

Okay. [clears throat]

Let's do this.

Three, two, one.

- Action. - [camera beeps]

Hi, I'm Beach Girl,

and I'm single

and open to-- open to meeting new friends.

[Arya] Cut!

Guys aren't on a dating app

looking for new friends, Hattie.

[Jill] It's called marriage.

Say it with me.

Marriage.

I don't talk like that. [clears throat]

[Arya] All right, let's go one more time.

Ready?

- [gentle music] - [Hattie sighs]

Action.

Hi, I'm Beach Girl,

and although I'm married to my career right now,

I am trying to be open to the possibility

of marriage

[audience applauding]

[Andy] This is the beginning of a discussion

on the new rules of love, sex, and dating,

and I say that because this is an introduction.

So if at the end of tonight you go,

"Yeah, but what about, what about, what about--"

It looks like the crossing guide arrived just in time.

[Andy] And I wanna tell you why I chose to do this series,

'cause somebody said, "You know, Andy, you know,

60% of the people are married.

Why are you gonna spend four weeks

talking just to single people?

And so here's the reason why.

The reason is this:

Because I want you to have great relationships,

those of you who are single,

and you get to get it right the first time.

And for some of you,

you've decided marriage is never

because you've never seen a good one.

And I'm hoping in the next few weeks

to make you wanna get married, okay?

It's a sign.

You'll be proud.

I've already connected with three guys:

a dentist, a minister, and an attorney.

I guess I better take some notes.

[Andy] I wanna give you a big idea

that I want you to begin to get your heads around

and your hearts around,

and I want you to begin to think about,

because we're gonna come back to this

over and over and over.

Here's the contrast.

The idea is this,

instead of finding the right person,

the real issue is:

Are you becoming the right person?

This is huge.

It's not a cute little statement,

it's not a cute little phrase.

This is the whole deal right here.

[gentle chiming music]

Yep. The Michinskys, right here.

Go ahead and take a seat.

Enjoy the show.

Thanks for coming.

[gentle lounge music]

Hi. Do you have a reservation?

[Hattie] Uh, yes. I'm meeting someone here.

The name is Dr. Rick.

Dr. Rick? Awesome.

Let's see.

Look at that. You're the last one to arrive too.

Let me take you to your seat. Follow me.

- After you. - [Hattie] Thank you.

[doors slam]

- [Hattie sighs] - [gentle lounge music]

[patrons chattering]

[Host] All right, everybody.

Welcome, everyone.

Thank you so much for coming.

I hope you are all ready to laugh a lot and have fun.

We have a great lineup for you tonight.

And to kick things off,

we're gonna start with our first comic.

And here's something about him:

he's the only comedian who guarantees laughter

'cause he travels with his own laughing gas. [laughs]

And you need to brace yourselves, folks,

or he'll do it for you.

It's America's funniest dentist,

Dr. Rick!

[audience cheering and applauding]

[Rick] Thank you so much. Thank you.

Hey, how's everyone doing tonight?

Everyone doing good? Yeah?

Yes. Awesome.

Hey, I bet my day was way worse than yours.

Your day's definitely better than mine,

because, you know,

how would you like to spend your days

trying to get answers from people

when your hands are literally in their mouth?

[audience laughing]

Like, you know?

And I bet some of you all in here are wondering

and thinking to yourself, "Huh,

what does my dentist like to do for fun?"

Well, this, for one thing. Yeah.

And also, uh, you're never gonna believe this,

but what I'm about to tell you next.

Right now, and I mean right no ,

I'm actually on a blind date.

- [crowd gaps] - Yeah.

She's actually here tonight

and she's sitting right over there.

- Yeah! - [audience applauding]

Lucky me, right? Yeah.

Hey. Oh, she's even cuter than the video she posted online.

And I already know we have something in common.

We're both desperately looking for love

on a dating site.

[audience laughing]

[soft music]

[bell tolling]

[gentle chiming music]

Good afternoon.

Hello.

Everybody's inside.

"Everybody"?

I'm just here to see Pastor Kevin Banks.

Yeah, the, the funeral,

it's already started.

The f-- The funeral?

Yeah.

Pastor's mother died,

and he's inside conducting the funeral right now.

His mo-- His mother died?

Oh, my word.

Oh, just please give him my condolences,

and tell him I,

I will reschedule, okay?

Hattie!

Oh. [laughs]

Oh, it is so good to finally meet you.

I'm Pastor Kevin Banks.

Oh, yes, Kevin.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's fine.

I knew that we'd be doing my mother's service

when we set the date.

It was a long illness and it was to be expected,

but we have a wonderful catered bereavement luncheon

downstairs in the fellowship hall,

and I thought, [laughs]

"Why go somewhere else and spend money

when the food that we have here is perfectly good?"

[Kevin laughs]

Plus it will give you a chance to meet all my family

and close friends.

Come on in.

They're just dying to meet you. [laughs]

Sir! All right.

There's 500 people here.

Cue the music.

[lively organ music]

Oh, he actually looks like his profile picture.

[Carson] Oh, okay. J- James.

I gotta go.

Oh, all right.

Patty, what a pleasure to meet you.

Hattie. [laughs]

Nice to meet you, Carson.

Oh.

Forgive me.

Oh, don't, don't worry about it.

I mean, before today you only knew me as Beach Girl.

[both chuckle]

[phone vibrating]

Oh, excuse me.

Just one second.

Oh, of course.

This is Carson West.

Understood.

No, no, no Please give all the details.

Listen, we have to stay focused

on what's important.

Speak soon.

Okay.

Mattie, where were we?

Oh, it's Hattie.

- [Carson] Hattie. - Hattie, yeah.

Well, I was only one letter off.

At least I didn't say "fatty", right?

[phone vibrates]

Oh.

Mr. Sanders, what can I do for you?

[water pouring]

Oh, oh, oh. I'll, I'll ave the calamari.

[Carson to phone] And, and when was this?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get on that.

Okay. Well, we have to stay focused on what's important.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'll get back to you in the morning.

[calm music]

I apologize for all the interruptions,

but while even enjoying our little first date here,

I managed to rack up 23 minutes

and 14 seconds of consultations.

Multitasking, it's a lawyer's best friend.

So, uh, Beach Girl,

tell me,

what are you looking for in a relationship?

Hattie.

My name is Hattie.

I'm not sure of all the specifics

I'm looking for in a relationship,

but pretty close to the top of that list

is someone who knows my name!

But you know what?

I don't even care anymore

because I'm gonna live the rest of my life alone,

happily alone!

[footsteps shuffling]

With my dog and my fish!

[patrons applauding]

[patrons chattering]

[Hattie sighs]

Let me help you with your daddy.

He's not my daddy.

He's my blind date.

[elderly man] I? I ain't never late.

Who said I was late?

Blind date.

I ain't blind either.

I had cataract surgery, I can see real good.

I met him on Happily Ever After.

Help.

[Octogenarian date sighs]

[traffic humming]

[Hattie sighs]

[Andy] If you wanna develop some sweet dating skills,

here they are, okay?

If you want to prepare yourself

and get ready, ready, ready for that, you know, you know,

that future relationship,

here is the way to do it.

This is how you become the person

that the person you're looking for

may in fact be looking for.

The list is found in one of the most famous chapters

in all the Bible.

We're just gonna hit a few of these.

1 Corinthians 13,

it's actually called the what? The?

- [audience member] Love-- - [Andy] The love chapter.

That's right. It's called the love chapter.

Love is patient.

Just practicing with you.

[audience laughing]

Okay, do you know what patience means?

Here's what patience means.

Love, love never pressures

the other person,

ever.

Love creates as much space and time and margin

as the other person needs.

Love is kind.

Love is considerate.

Love does not envy.

And do you know what envy is?

Envy is when I don't feel so good about me,

so I can't let you feel too good about you.

I don't feel too good about me,

so I can't let you feel too good about you,

and I'm gonna drag you down,

drag you down, drag you down, drag you down,

and destroys the intimacy in the relationship.

It goes on.

Does not boast, is not proud.

Does not dishonor others.

Does not dishonor.

You know what, you know what this means?

It means that when you date,

you never ever, ever create,

you never ever, ever create regret.

This isn't about magically finding the right person.

That's Disney.

You know, that's fantasy, that's fairytales,

that makes good movies,

good TV, and good novels,

but it's not reality.

So I'm gonna put the ways of childhood behind me

and I'm not gonna approach my relationships anymore

thinking that if I magically find the right person,

magically all the magic things will happen.

From this point forward,

I'm gonna do everything in my power

to become the person

that the person I'm looking for

is looking for.

[footsteps shuffling]

We're really sorry, Hattie.

We feel so bad.

[Hattie sighs]

Don't feel bad, guys.

I mean, how could you have known?

Well, I still believe your man is still out there,

somewhere.

Yes, and I believe that he's preparing

to become the person he is looking for

is looking for.

Well, God's gonna have to make that connection

because I'm done with dating at this point.

There's a better chance that I'll become a bigger star

than Dolly Parton

than me ever finding a good man.

Both could still happen.

Love-- Love comes when you least expect it.

So says my dad.

See you at 4:00.

[footsteps clicking]

[car engine rumbling]

[Henry] Come on through, guys.

[Hattie sighs]

Enjoy your day.

Good to see you.

Have a good one.

Hi.

Come on through.

- The lawn guy? - [Henry] Good to see ya.

Oh, look who it is.

Good to see you guys.

I don't wanna mess up you hair.

Oh, okay.

- To be here. - [Lisa] Hi.

[Henry] So good to see guys.

[Lisa] Good to see you, guys.

[quirky music]

- Good to see you guys. - Good to see you guys.

Hey, we still doing lunch, yeah?

- Yeah. - Yeah? Yeah?

See you soon.

[Josh] Bye.

See you, guys.

[car door slams]

Hey.

Roll down your window. Hey.

[car engine revving]

Wow, look who it is.

I tried to give you flowers the other day.

Oh, I remember.

[Henry] Yeah. Yeah.

This is crazy.

We go to the same church?

[Hattie chuckles]

How are you liking the dating series?

Well, I'm learning a lot.

[Henry] Yeah? Yeah, me too.

I'm taking tons of notes.

[horn honks]

Uh, maybe, uh, we,

maybe we could, uh,

you and I get together sometime,

compare notes.

Get together?

Like, you're--

Are you seriously asking me out on a date right now?

Yeah.

Yeah, uh, I guess,

or we could call it a small group gathering,

a very small group.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Excuse me.

Sorry, I'm, I'm confused here.

[Hattie] Oh, well, let me clear it up for you.

[Hattie] You know, now that I think about it,

I'm just glad you were able

Yeah, but would you have ever

really been attracted enough to go out with him?

I mean, I see you more with a professional kind of guy.

[Hattie] Oh, like a dentist or a lawyer or a minister?

Oh.

- Well- - Yeah.

There is that.

But, seriously,

your bar has to be set above a lawn guy.

Right, Hattie?

Hattie, doesn't it?

Arya, honey, my bar is set on single.

And trust me, that is where I like it.

It's what I know and it's peaceful.

[Jill sighs]

Okay. [clears throat]

Okay, so given you've had a few bum dates,

I say we go with you.

isn't just gonna come up to your porch

and ring your doorbell.

[doorbell rings]

- [Hattie chuckles] - [Jill laughs]

I'll get that.

[Hattie sighs]

You know what?

Yeah, yeah.

You know, I might be blonde,

but I ain't blind.

[Jill gaps]

It's the lawn care guy.

The nerve of this guy!

[Arya] No, no. No! No!

- [Hattie] You watch this! - [Jill] Hattie.

Let me tell you some--

[Josh screams]

[Hattie sharply exhales]

[Lisa] Oh, um--

Good afternoon, Beach Girl.

I thought it'd be important to stop by

and let you know I'm not a cheater.

I'm actually one of the good guys.

I'm Lisa, I'm Henry's sister.

And this is Amy, his niece.

And, uh, this is Josh, his nephew.

When you saw us today,

the kids and I were going to get the car

to pick up my husband at the church entrance.

He's on crutches.

Just had knee surgery.

Yes. And--

Uh, my brother does wear a wedding band,

but he's not married.

You know, he is a good guy.

And we just wanted you to know that.

Oh, well, um, first off, I'm--

I'm so sorry.

Um, I seem to have upset the children.

I've never had this type of reaction before.

I mean, most people who know me,

they call me Mrs. Rogers.

I love children.

I know.

Well, that's all we came by to say.

Have a good weekend.

Wait.

Uncle Henry is the best uncle ever.

[Lisa] All right.

Henry, wait.

Okay, let's go.

I'm so sorry.

I hope you won't hold it against me.

Well, my sister told me

that you jumping to this conclusion

was actually a sign of integrity.

And I agree.

[Hattie chuckles]

Well, can I make it up to you somehow?

Huh.

Have dinner with me.

Okay.

Tomorrow night?

Okay.

Okay.

[calm music]

Yeah.

[Henry] Good. Unblock me on Happily Ever After

and we'll set it up.

[Hattie] I can do that.

All right.

[friend clears throat]

Excuse us.

We had a deal, remember?

Uh. Um, yeah.

Henry, um, I--

I sort of promised my friends here that, uh,

they could come along on my next date.

- Oh. - [Hattie] For support?

Okay. Sure.

Yeah.

The, I mean, the more the merrier, I guess.

And vetting.

[gentle music]

Green, definitely your color, by the way.

Bye.

[gentle music continues]

[lively music]

[Henry] Well, uh, I was born in Brooklyn,

but I'm an army brat,

so I grew up all over the world.

[Jill] Did you go to college?

Cornell for undergrad

and then Wharton School of Business.

And with those two impressive degrees,

you mow lawns?

What can I say?

I love being outdoors.

Would you say you're an underachiever?

[Henry laughs]

Well, uh--

[Hattie clears throat] I'm originally from Knoxville,

but the three of us met when we all lived in Miami.

Beach Girl, ah.

Yeah.

Ah, okay.

That's where it comes from.

So I moved to Georgia to attend SCAD.

The art school?

Yes, and Arya went to NYU Film School

and Jill went to Duke.

[Henry] Wow. Okay.

And, and you write children's books for a living?

Yes, I do.

I write children's books and I write songs.

[Arya] But she started off as a country music singer.

Really?

Wh- how long did you do that?

Um, long enough to know

that as much as I love performing,

I also love paying my car payment on time.

It's understandable.

So Arya here directs TV and film.

I don't think he cares about us.

Yeah, of course I do.

Mm, no, you don't.

And Jill was a teacher

until she started popping out children

at the rate of rabbits.

- [Arya laughs] - You're exaggerating.

- She's exaggerating. - [Henry chuckles]

[Hattie] She has five kids under the age of 10.

You do the math.

Yeah.

And Arya, this is your first?

Yes.

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's a girl. [laughs]

[Henry] Cool.

So, what do you like to do when you are not working?

Great question.

Uh, I also like the beach.

Who doesn't? Um...

I really do like being outdoors.

I'm into music.

I have a huge vinyl collection.

I love reading.

Let's see.

I'm a, I'm a decent cook,

mainly on the grill.

And as you now know, my sister lives here,

so I spend time with her and her family.

Hmm.

Well, I would bet that my vinyl collection rivals yours.

Really?

[Hattie] Mm-hmm.

Huh.

So where do you live?

I live in Milton.

I bought a fixer-upper and renovated it.

So you were able to purchase

and renovate a home in Milton moving lawns?

[Henry laughs]

Your investigators are very thorough.

Uh, I am currently just helping out my brother-in-law Art.

He owns one of the franchises.

He just had knee surgery, so I'm just kind of stepping in.

I own the company. I started it.

Um, we are now in 42 states

and we employ over 2,000 people.

Wow. That is impressive.

So,

the ring.

Yeah. Yeah, the ring.

Uh, I was married.

I'm a widower.

Her name was Astrid.

Um, she passed away five years ago.

Cancer.

And, uh,

she was great, really great,

tough fighter.

I miss her every day.

Hattie, you, ever married?

Not now, but, uh, ever?

I was engaged once.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Bob doesn't count.

Henry, your chariot Awaits.

[Henry] Thank you, Thomas. Appreciate it.

You ready?

[plane engine droning]

[Hattie] Well, aren't you full of surprises?

I've got one more for you.

I was thinking before we land,

we should make a commitment.

A commitment?

Yeah.

We should commit to going on five dates.

Five dates?

[Henry] Mm-hmm.

Okay. Why five?

Because it takes at least five

to really get to know someone.

Yeah, it seems to me you can get to know someone

after one date.

Agreed.

No offense, ladies,

but this does not count as one of the five.

Hattie and I have to fly solo on this.

- We get it. - Yes, we get it.

Oh, one more thing.

For the duration of the five dates,

we remain exclusive.

No outside influences.

And after that, we'll, you know,

decide if we go on five more.

Deal?

[plane engine droning]

Deal.

Okay.

[plane engine droning]

[group chattering]

[Arya] What's in here? [screaming]

[group chattering]

Arya could have gone into labor up there.

Hey, you are the ones who insisted on coming along.

Mm, he's so cute, right?

- He is. - And sweet.

Mm-hmm.

Bob was really cute and sweet too.

And I'm not saying he is Bob,

but just take your time.

Don't rush anything.

So, uh, when's date number one?

Our first official date is tomorrow for lunch.

And he is taking me to Milton's.

Mm?

- Hmm. - In broad daylight.

- Mama approves. - [doorbell ring]

Uh, here.

- You take this- - Yes.

And I'll be right there.

♪ You're nothing but a hole in my heart ♪

♪ You're just a empty space

[Hattie] Bob?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was just in the, uh,

in the neighborhood, you know, driving by.

I saw all the cars,

I thought maybe somebody had died or something.

[Hattie] No one died, Bob.

This is Arya's baby shower.

Good, good. Lucky guy, huh?

You were in the neighborhood?

Have you moved?

You live like 30 miles from here.

[Bob] Yeah, well, sometimes I like to take rides, okay?

To relax.

You should try it sometime.

Anyway, can I use your bathroom?

I have really gotta go.

Yes, you do, Bob.

You have to go, away.

Mm, yeah.

I'm just looking for the sign.

What sign?

You know, the sign,

sign that says, "Public restrooms here."

Go use the bathroom, Bob.

Thank you.

[Hattie] Ha.

Stop stopping by every six months.

It's like you're on the same schedule

as my termite inspector.

Gotta love a good simile.

Right.

- Ah! Whoa. - [Utah barking and growling]

You. Still alive.

Oh, hi. [mutters]

No words.

Oh, I've got words,

but I'm gonna keep this rated G.

[lively music]

[Hattie] Wow, it looks like they're not even open.

[Henry] They're not.

The owner's a good friend of mine.

[Hattie] Oh.

[Henry] Mm-hmm.

[Hattie] Mm. Mm-mm.

[Henry] Mm-hmm?

I could eat this every day.

I'm glad you like it.

[Hattie chuckles]

All right, so tell me, what,

what inspires you to write?

Like, how do you come up with what you write about?

Hmm.

I just

sort of tap into my inner child

and just try to write about what I think, you know,

will stimulate their imaginations.

[Henry] Hmm. I mean, that's a gift.

Not everyone can do that.

[Hattie] Thank you.

That's cool.

[Hattie chuckles]

All right, here's a harder one.

- Uh- - [Hattie] Okay.

Your greatest achievement.

Mm.

Head of safety patrol, sixth grade.

We're going that far back?

- [Hattie] I guess. - Wow. Okay

[Hattie] You?

Um,

I'd have to say my successful third attempt

at getting my learner's permit.

Okay. Well, I'm glad I know that now

instead of when we were at 5,000 feet.

[Henry laughs]

Oops.

- You know- - [Henry] Hmm?

I've been thinking.

It's kinda crazy how we were kinda talked into this

by other people.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

I've been thinking about that too.

Uh, so far so good, though, right?

[Hattie] Surprisingly, I would have to agree.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as nervous at all.

This is just this, uh,

this is uncharted territory for me.

So you have to be a little patient, I'm afraid.

No, it's, it's all good.

No worries.

[Henry] Okay, so circling back.

Uh, let's stay in this decade.

What are you most proud of?

So this one time,

there was a little girl with Down's syndrome

named Jacqueline.

She came to one of my book signings

and she told me that my book

was the very first book she'd ever read.

And she just burst out into one of my singalong songs.

[Hattie laughs]

She, I mean, she performed like she was on a Broadway stage.

[Henry laughs]

It was so cute.

And when she was done,

everyone applauded.

And she took a bow, gave me a thumbs up,

and left with her mom. [laughs]

- Wow. - [Hattie giggles]

[Hattie] I'll never forget it.

Yeah, I bet.

How about you?

[Henry] Um, I had the chance to do landscaping

for this disabled veteran,

and Wounded Warriors built his house,

and the whole experience was incredible,

and my company gave this veteran a franchise,

and now his franchise.

He's grown it into one of the top producers

in the country.

I was so excited for him.

It's crazy.

That's awesome. [clears throat]

Would you like some bread?

Davis. Thank you, Yes.

Davis, this is Hattie.

Hattie, this is Davis.

- He's the owner's son. - [Hattie] Hi, Davis.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

Thank you so much, man.

- Thank you. - Appreciate it.

Thanks.

This has been a perfect first date.

[Henry] Good. It's not over yet.

Okay...?

[Henry] Since we have a shared love of vinyl,

I'm gonna take you

to my secret licorice pizza depository.

After dessert,

- of course. - [Hattie] Oh, okay.

We have to have dessert.

[lively music fades]

[Hattie sighs]

[gentle music]

[Hattie sighs]

[light music]

[Henry] All right. So where did the name Utah come from?

I actually blindfolded myself

and threw a dart at a map of the United States.

That's where it landed.

[light music continues]

[Hattie laughs]

- I'm just kidding. - You just--

Okay.

I just always wanted to go there.

The Arches National Park is on my bucket list.

Amazing. That place is amazing.

[light music continues]

So the five date rule thing--

- Mm-hmm. - Uh,

where did that come from?

[Henry chuckles]

That is courtesy of my parents.

My mom and dad, way into their marriage,

they realized that they already made up their mind

about each other after the fifth date.

So then it kind of became

this sentimental phrase between them,

and they'd say it takes, "At least five."

So with Lisa and I growing up,

they would always use that phrase

as a way to remind us that love is real,

but just be careful not to jump into it too quickly.

[light music continues]

Did that work with you and Astrid?

Yeah. Yeah, it did actually.

And Lisa and her husband Art, exact same thing. [chuckles]

Now, Henry, if you ever wanna talk about Astrid,

I don't mind.

I know that she'll always be a huge part of your life,

and I respect that.

[Henry] Yeah. I-- I appreciate that.

Thanks. Same for you.

You know, if you ever feel the need

to talk about that guy Bob.

I don't,

but thanks.

Okay.

That's as good as it's gonna get.

Are you ready?

[Hattie] Yeah.

[Henry mimicking trumpet]

Oh my gosh.

- Huh? - That is...

that is so good.

- How are you so good. - Not bad.

Just wait until it's glazed and all fired up.

It's gonna be better.

Utah's gonna love that.

Good. I hope so.

Okay. I, I, I think mine is ready.

Now I'm nervous.

Okay, let's see it.

I'm ready.

Best uncle ever. [laughs]

I remembered.

[Henry] That is brilliant. That's really good.

I'm gonna drink from that every morning.

- Oh, you better? - Amazing.

You know, I'm, uh,

I'm glad you decided to break

your don't talk to strangers rule.

I'm glad you did too.

Even though you did bless me out

in the middle of a church parking lot. [groans]

[Hattie chuckles]

Yeah, sorry about that.

It's fine. I don't hold it against you.

- Forgiveness, right? - Yep.

Welcome to our rehearsal, guys.

- [Henry] Well, thank you. - [Singer] Hattie,

Henry told us that you used to perform.

Would you share a song with us?

Oh, well, well, no, I,

I'm just loving hearing you guys play.

Y'all sound so good.

Oh no. Come on.

I know I would love to hear you sing.

I don't know about you guys.

[Band Members] Yeah, me too.

- Come on, come on now. - Oh, okay.

- Get up there. - All right.

[Henry] That's what I'm talking about.

It's been a while, so...

Oh, well, what do y'all wanna play?

Well, "What Would Dolly Do?"

[Hattie] "What would Dolly Do?"

Okay.

I actually wrote that song,

and I wrote it about Miss Dolly Parton,

and it's really my tribute to her.

Wait, you wrote, "What Would Dolly Do"?

- Yes. - Oh, my goodness,

I love that song.

[group laughs]

You're so sweet. Thank you so much.

Well, all right, I mean, I'm ready to play it.

Being on stage again like that,

it just lit a fire under me

that I haven't felt in years.

Seems like Henry is making all the right moves.

He really is.

I really like him.

We do too.

[Hattie laughs]

So how many dates has it been?

Three, and, uh, so four is actually tomorrow night.

And where's he gonna take you this time?

Top of the Eiffel Tower?

[Hattie laughs]

I don't know.

I guess I will find out

Mm.

Mm.

Mm. [deeply exhales]

What?

It's so good.

- [light music] - [keyboard clacking]

[Henry blowing raspberries]

[notification beeps]

[gentle music]

It's a date, Henry Holt.

[gentle music continues]

[Hattie sighs]

Good night, Utah.

[gentle music fades]

[phone ringing]

Who in the world could that be?

[switch clicks]

You gotta be kiddin' me.

"Hello, Ms. Fisher.

My name is Calvin Shilling.

I'm not sure if you remember me,

but I'm the president of Wilson Management in Nashville."

Oh, yeah, I remember you.

You passed on me. Twice.

- [Utah growls] - [Hattie sighs]

"We would like to speak with you

about potentially signing you to our label"?

"When you approached us a few years back,

the timing just wasn't right.

Yesterday, Mama Jan reached out to me

and reminded me of who you are

and told me how impressed she was with your talent.

I propose we try to work out

a singer/songwriter development deal for you.

This doesn't happen often.

Please let us know if you have any interest.

Timing is everything."

[gentle music]

Utah.

This is crazy!

What am I gonna do?

[Hattie sighs]

[Andy] Every single Saturday

n countries all over the world, i

single people come together

and they stand at an altar

in this thing we call a wedding.

And they hold hands and they exchange rings

and then somebody like me, or a pastor, says,

"Repeat after me,"

and they take vows.

And every single Saturday in this city

and in cities all over the country,

single people make promises

that they can't keep

and make vows they can't fulfill.

And they want to and they try,

but they just aren't prepared to do it.

And the reason they're not prepared

is that they overlooked a principle

that all of us understand

in every other realm of life,

but when it comes to relationships,

we don't think this is true.

And here's the principle.

Promises are no substitute for preparation.

Promises are no substitute for preparation!

If you've ever entered a long-distance race

or you're a long distance runner,

you know all about this.

It's one thing to sign up for the race,

it's another thing to prepare for it.

And if you're not prepared,

it's a waste of time to promise that you'll finish.

Because what determines whether or not you finish

a long-distance race is not the promise,

it's not even your signature,

it's whether or not you've prepared.

I want you to commit now

to becoming someone who can keep their commitments later.

I want you to commit now, not to a person,

not to a relationship, not to a marriage,

I want you to commit now to becoming someone

who can keep their commitments later.

This is the goal.

This is what you should be working on,

so that when you say I do,

you really can do, you know?

[gentle music]

[Henry whistling]

You notice anything on the table?

Hattie?

Earth to Hattie. Hello.

Oh, whoa.

Did you just say something?

I'm so sorry.

[Henry chuckles]

Is everything okay?

You're not vegetarian, are you?

'Cause it's a little late for that.

I'm sorry, Henry.

I, I, I just have a lot on my mind right now,

and I have a really big decision that I have to make

and I have to make it soon, so...

Is it anything I can help with?

[grill sizzling]

No. Actually, this is our fourth date

and we're gonna have fun, okay?

I like that attitude.

[gentle music]

Hey!

Are these the flowers that you brought to my house that day?

[Henry laughs] Yeah. Yeah, those are it.

That's, that's very astute of you.

Well done.

Wow.

Yeah, it's, uh, Coreopsis Jethro Tull.

That's the name of it.

- [Hattie] Wow. [laughs] - I'm not lying.

Yeah, I've been, uh,

I've been waiting a while to show you that.

Oh. Well, you definitely have a green thumb.

[Henry] Oh, thank you.

- Yeah. - They're beautiful.

Okay, so you're sitting down, this is good,

'cause I have a very serious question for you.

Okay.

Favorite movie, go

"Blind Side."

- Really? - [Hattie] Mm-hmm.

- Okay. - [Hattie] Yeah.

- Huh? - [Hattie] You?

Mm, "The Godfather."

Okay. Seriously, though? Everyone dies!

No, no, no, no.

See, it's, it's a family film.

That's my Brando: "It's family.

It's about family." [laughs]

- Okay. - I know "The Godfather."

[phone rings]

oh, uh, I'm sorry, just a second.

[Henry sighs]

Okay. [sniffs]

Okay, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Um, okay, so I have a question for you.

Okay. Shoot.

What did you wanna be when you were growin' up?

Hmm. Good one.

Uh, okay,

so I wanted to be an astronaut,

and then that kind of morphed into a cowboy.

Okay, of course.

[Henry] Of course.

Uh, and then for a while there,

I wanted to be a surgeon.

Oh?

Clearly none of that panned out for me.

- Um-- - [Hattie laughs]

Well, I think you turned out all right.

[Henry] Oh, thank you. You did all right yourself.

So you, is it singer/songwriter?

That was, like, from the get go,

- that's what you wanted to do? - [Hattie] Oh, yeah.

I've always wanted to be a singer/songwriter

for as long as I can remember.

Um, I was about eight years old, I guess it was,

and I told myself,

"I am born to do this, and...

I want to do it for the rest of my life,

and nothing's gonna stop me."

- [Henry] Yeah? - So--

[Henry] I think it's cool, what you do.

You're inspiring kids everywhere, you know,

with your talents.

- Yeah. - [Henry] I admire that.

- It's cool. - Thank you. Yeah.

I, I, I do enjoy it.

- [Henry] Yeah. - [Hattie] Mm.

Well, also think about what that other life

would look like, you know?

You're this, I don't know, famous musician,

you're on the road every week.

You, you have no time for family or friends.

That sounds kind of miserable.

[birds chirping]

[Hattie laughs]

[children cheering and clapping]

Great job!

Wow, y'all are doing such a great job.

Okay, we're gonna shift gears now.

Can anyone tell me what a bully is?

A bully is someone who is really mean.

That's right.

Now, is it cool or is it not cool to be a bully?

[Children] Not cool.

That's right.

Yes, exactly. [laughs]

[phone rings]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I gotta turn this off. [chuckles]

[phone vibrating and ringing]

Okay.

Does anyone know what The Golden Rule is?

To treat people the way you want to be treated?

That's exactly right.

Wouldn't the world be a better place

if we all did that?

[Children] Yes.

Okay, so you all know the song "Don't be a Bully."

Do you wanna sing it?

[Children] Yes!

[Hattie] Here we go.

Bob, what are you doing here?

I have a million things going on right now.

Thought you'd be happy to see me.

What would make you think that?

[Utah growling]

Hattie, look, I know that I messed up, okay,

a lot,

but I've come to my senses, okay?

I, I'd like a fresh start.

I mean, I, I think that we're worth it.

There is no "we", Bob.

[Bob] Yeah, but can't we at least, like,

have dinner and talk this over?

No, we can't.

Okay, well,

think about all the fun times that we had.

Huh?

You remember that?

All I know, Bob,

is that you cannot be trusted.

Goodbye, Bob.

[car engine rumbling]

[Henry sighs]

[truck door slams]

[birds chirping]

If this is the last goodbye,

can I at least have one last hug?

[Utah growls and barks]

Good grief.

If this will get you to leave, here you go.

It's just, uh,

I miss you so much, Hattie.

Oh. All right, Bob.

Oh, Hattie, I miss you so very much.

You have no idea.

Oh. Okay, okay, Bob.

Here, [groans] here's your hug, Bob.

You got your hug.

Oh, let go, Bob.

[Bob crying]

I can't.

You were supposed to be mine.

You were supposed to be mine.

[Hattie faintly speaking]

Bob, if you don't let go, I'm gonna call for help.

[Henry] Well, I guess I'm not the only one full of surprises.

[Hattie gasps]

This must be Bob, huh?

The one you claim to be over?

Uh, Bob, yeah,

he was about to leave, actually.

I don't have to.

Yeah, you do, Bob.

So, so this is what all the mysterious phone calls

and texts were about.

[birds chirping]

[Hattie sighs]

Okay.

I'm just gonna... [sighs]

- Nice car. - [Bob] Yeah.

[car door slams]

[car engine starts and revs]

See, I'm confused 'cause I thought that we promised

to be exclusive for five dates.

Didn't we?

See, when I make a promise,

that's a big deal to me.

Yeah, that's a big deal to me too.

- [Henry] Is it? - Yeah.

[suspenseful music]

Wow.

Being single is a lot easier.

[pensive music]

Yeah, you're right.

This is...

Yeah, this is too hard.

[Hattie sobbing]

[Jill] So what is the offer?

It was everything I've ever dreamed of,

almost. [crying]

It's, it's a development deal as a singer/songwriter,

it's a signing bonus.

It's recording all new songs in the studio

and it's opening up

for some of the biggest acts in country music.

And it's a, a publishing deal!

I've always wanted one of those. [sobbing]

That sounds great.

Um, why the almost?

Because I'd have to move to Nashville.

- [Jill clears throat] - [Hattie crying]

You love Nashville,

so why is that so hard?

Because you and Arya made me start dating.

Why'd you do-- Why'd you do it?

Um, Hattie, I,

I think you just need to tell him.

I think you just need to talk to him.

I can't tell him, I can't tell him.

I wanted to tell him when we was walking and I thought,

"I can't do it."

I couldn't do it.

I had to ruin it all.

He probably thinks I'm high maintenance.

Oh, I know he thinks I'm high maintenance.

Do you think I'm high maintenance?

Medium.

[Hattie bawling]

When's the last time I was on time

and Arya was late?

Yeah, where is she?

[Hattie bawling]

[doorbell rings]

[Hattie bawling]

Utah, this is, like,

the worst country song ever.

[door creaks]

[Jill clears throat]

She's in the living room.

- [door creaks] - [Hattie crying]

Hey, Arya.

Welcome to my meltdown! [crying]

A record label offered me a deal,

and I couldn't tell Henry. [crying]

[Henry] What'd you say?

[gentle music]

[Hattie sighs]

The other night after I sang,

Mama Jan contacted a record label in Nashville,

and they practically offered to sign me.

I didn't know what I was gonna do.

I, I still don't know what I'm gonna do.

[gentle music]

You made a great point the other day

when you said that living that life might be miserable.

Oh, and Bob, Bob.

Henry, I am over Bob.

I have been over Bob a long time.

It was supposed to be a goodbye hug;

he would not let go of me!

I was just trying to be polite.

It's a Southern thing. [deeply inhales]

[Hattie sighs]

I do keep my commitments.

I know I said life is easier single,

but that doesn't mean it's happier,

at least not now.

[soft music continues]

I came back to tell you the exact same thing.

Not the part about the music offer, um,

definitely not the part about Bob,

but, uh,

[Hattie laughs]

that whole bit about being happy.

[Hattie chuckles]

[Utah barking]

- Oh. - [Hattie laughs]

Listen, me saying that the life of a singer/songwriter

on the road, that being miserable,

that was me trying to make you feel better.

And if this is what you really want, truly,

you have to take it.

You know that.

But I'd have to move to Nashville.

So what?

It's a four-hour drive, and I,

I have locations there that I need to check up on.

And if you're there,

I'll do it more often:

weekly, biweekly,

daily probably.

Yeah.

You got a little--

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Ready? Blow.

[Hattie blows nose]

Oh, wow. Yep.

[Jill] Guys!

Guys, guys, guys, guys,

I hate to break up this very special moment,

but Arya's going into labor, like, right now!

Yeah, I know. And...

you know, I've been her labor coach,

so I have to be there,

but I have to go pick up the kids in, like, 30 minutes.

So I don't really know--

Okay. Okay. Uh...

listen, you go to the hospital, obviously,

and then we will pick up the kids.

Right? We'll take 'em back to my place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That works.

I'm on the pickup list.

Oh, my God.

Thank you guys. Thank you guys so much.

[lively music]

Congratulations, you two.

Lovey. [chuckles]

A baby!

- That's crazy. - Oh, my goodness.

Oh.

- Where are my keys? - We gotta go.

[children chattering]

[Henry] Okay.

Oh.

Figure out a way to bottle up all that energy

and we'd have a successful business of some sort.

[Hattie] I know, right?

I, I tell Jill that all the time.

[Henry chuckles]

So do you ever think

of doing the mom thing?

You know, uh, as much as I love kids, I,

I think it's nice to have 'em in little snippets

instead of 24/7.

I don't know. I mean, maybe.

Now, y'all be, be careful, okay?

Hey, hey, now, hit the ball with the bat,

not your brother's head.

[Child] I'm so satisfied.

You'd be a great mom.

Oh, well, if you can figure out how I can do that

without having to go through what Arya's going through

- right now. - Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah.

No, I'll do some research.

I'll get back to you on that.

[phone ringing]

Oh, oh.

What do we have?

Okay, let's see.

[Hattie gasps]

- [Henry] Wow. - [Hattie] She's here.

[Henry] She's beautiful.

[Hattie] She is beautiful.

[tender music]

[Henry chuckles]

That's awesome.

- Hmm. - Wow.

What?

[Hattie sighs]

I, I don't know. I'm--

I'm leaning towards, like, just staying here.

I need to take that publishing deal.

If I take the publishing deal,

then I can write here from my house,

and I don't have to, I don't have to leave.

I can stay and I don't have to leave the people that I love.

You sure?

Yeah, I think.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Uh, well, look, I mean, think this through, right?

I want you to weigh all your options here.

I don't want you to make a decision

and then regret it later, and, you know?

This is a big deal.

But whatever it is, I'm, I'm here.

I'll support it.

Excellent advice, Dr. Phil.

Mm, thank you.

[Hattie deeply inhales]

One day at a time, right?

Or one date at a time.

[gentle music]

[gentle chiming music]

Well, what do you think?

Did I earn it?

Earn what?

Five more dates?

Oh, hmm.

I guess I'm probably gonna have to think about it.

Oh.

[Hattie] Mm-hmm.

Just don't think for too long.
