"...her lips are warm"

"first watchmen"

"lead, boy, which way?"

"...Juliet"

"Yea, noise?
Then I'll be brief.

"O happy dagger!

"This is thy sheath

"there rust,

and let me... die."

Is she ready?

I don't know,
she's in there reading.

Well, we've got to
get to the campground.

I know. I'll get her.

Come on, Caryn.

We gotta go.

You're not
even dressed.

Sure I am.

Where is your coat?

Your hat? Your gloves?

Chill, mom.

How do you even find
anything in this mess?

Because I know exactly
where everything is.

It's total chaos.

Not up here it isn't.

Pick up
your dad's backpack?

How are you enjoying
"Romeo and Juliet"?

It's lame.

Lame!?
I love "Romeo and Juliet!"

I don't see why.

She marries the guy, like,
the day after she meets him.

Well, she is only 13.

I know, right?

She has her whole life
ahead of her,

which she totally just
throws away for love.

What's the big hurry?

What's whose hurry?

Caryn's reading
"Romeo and Juliet."

Well, that's great!

Girls love that play.

- I don't.
- Caryn doesn't.

Well, why not?

I mean, it's so romantic.

Would you throw
your life away for love?

In a heartbeat.

Ew!

Peter...

Let's go!

It makes no sense...

Her whole life ahead of her,

and she just
threw it all away for love?

What's romantic about that?

Hi!

How are you?

Hello.

Hi there!

You too!

Oh, wow.

She's beautiful.

She's gorgeous.

And hey, first
date night without her.

Bet you're checking
your phone

every five minutes.

Stephanie!

Come here!

Oh, hi. Hi. Uh...

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Whispering
are you serious?

Caryn! Hi.

Thanks for bailing me out.

Not a problem.

They cornered me in
the supermarket last weekend,

my ice cream nearly melted.

They have a lot
of baby pictures.

Well, I can see why.
It is a very cute baby.

And yours and Austin's
will be, too,

when the time comes.

If the time comes.

Stop it. It will.

Two white wines,
please?

Is Bryce here?

No, he went up north

to spend Thanksgiving
with his brother, Grady.

Wasn't he just up
there over labor day?

Yup.

Did he ask you
to go with him?

Nope.

Doesn't that bother you?

That you've never
met his family?

Not as much as it
seems to bother you,

since you always
bring it up.

I couldn't help but notice
you from across the room.

You are so beautiful.

Careful, pal,
she's a married woman.

I thank my lucky stars
for that every day.

Copy that.

What are you
looking at, gregg?

Fantasy land,
gregg-style.

Check it out.

It's the finest

private collection
of vinyl

in the tri-state area.

Look at this,
isn't it magnificent?

Gregg wants to buy this
for his store,

but apparently,
it's not happening.

Every vintage record
store in the world

has been trying to
get ahold of the owner.

I've emailed him,

written him
over a dozen times.

Well, maybe
he'll come around.

Why don't we find out?

Hmm?

A fortune teller?
Seriously?

Come on, it's for charity.

I'm paying.

I don't want to
know the future.

Madame Rue,

I have a customer for you.

Good!

Yes,
here we go, buddy.

That will be $10.

Okay.

Here you go.

Ah, thank you.

Now... give me your hands.

This is worth
10 bucks.

This is kind of
awkward...

You...

Will need a bigger boat.

What?

That's a line from "jaws."

What does it mean?

It's a metaphor.

Thank you for your business.

That's it?

What do you expect for $10?

A reading?

And you...

You should enjoy
that drink

while you can.

Excuse me?

I realize

it is not on everyone's

favorite list,

but rue would be
a wonderful name for a boy.

Or a girl.

That...

Is what you call

a "freebie."

Okay then, we should probably
get back to the party.

And you, pretty girl?

Would you like to know
your future?

I'm good.

No...

No, let's hear
what she has to say.

My treat.

Okay.

Come here.

Give me your hands.

You will receive
a ring by spring...

Or you will never marry.

Wow.

Hi! Excuse me?

Excuse me!

Hello!

Hi there!

Hi!

Wait, wait, wait!

Hello!

I'm looking
for Mr. Halsey's office?

Can I help you?

Hi! Yes!

I'm looking for Mr. Halsey?

Do you know where he is?

Existentially, no.

Three-dimensionally,

he's on this lift,
talking to you.

Hi. Mr. Halsey, i'm

Caryn Briggs,
"in the details consulting?"

Right.

Now, do you prefer
"Ms. Briggs" or "Caryn"?

"Caryn." please.

That is good

because I hate
"Mr. Halsey."

Hi. I'm Tom.

C.E.O. of this Madhouse.

But don't
spread that around.

Okay.

Uh, follow me.

I'll give you a tour
of the asylum.

Great.

So, I started post-grad
when I graduated college,

and I was looking for a way
to Bankroll business school,

when I noticed
a lot of students

were literally throwing
all this stuff away.

Textbooks, furniture,

last year's computer,
you name it.

So I cut a deal with the school
to scavenge what I could,

and I put it online
for sale,

and boom,
I was up and running.

Well, it has been
quite a run.

Yeah. Because
I realized early on

there's, like, 4,000 colleges

and universities
in this country.

4,146, to be exact.

Wow. You did your homework.

Like my business name says,
"it's in the details."

Well, I contacted
all of them,

and soon,
I was the go-to guy,

so I stopped scavenging
and I started brokering.

Did you want some?

I was wondering
when you were gonna see

the greedy look
in my eye.

They're my
all-time favorite.

Right?

Nuts, caramel corn, prizes.

It's genius.

Thanks.

We run everything
out of here.

Entirely web-based.

It's a 24/7 operation.

Well, I'm not surprised.

P.g.s. Is the go-to brand.

Yeah, I was first in.
I got lucky.

Maybe, but you're also
a fair dealer

with a money-back
no-questions-asked policy

you totally stand behind.

You have been doing
your research.

Firsthand.
I was a customer.

A highly satisfied one.

Huh. I'm surprised

they missed your name
in the database.

Do you have
those purchase orders?

Oh. Yeah.

Thanks, Ursula.

Yeah.

But business has leveled out
over the last 18 months,

and I need to know why.

Well, that's
why I'm here.

This is you.

This is me?

Yeah.

This, and the

oh, sorry.

The boxes in this room.

Sorry about the mess.

I meant to have it organized
before you got here,

but, well,
obviously, I didn't.

But you do know
where everything is, right?

Not really.

So, these are
all of your sales, financial

and employee records?

I hope so.

They were kind of spread
all over the place.

I take it back.

Maybe you did get lucky.

I told you.

Well, it's an easy one.

I already know what my first
recommendation is gonna be.

Hire a C.E.O.
Who knows what he's doing?

This is me
getting to work.

All right,
I'll leave you to it.

Wait a second,
you're telling me

he died
and left you everything?

Yeah.

He said that
he wanted to make sure

that they ended up
with somebody

who loved them
as much as him

and that was me.

To the owner

of the finest
collection of vinyl

in the tri-state area!

Hear, hear.

Actually, guys...

I have some news, too.

I'm pregnant.

What?

Oh, my gosh!

Stephanie,
that's fantastic!

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

Stephanie!

To Madame Rue.

Oh, yeah!
To Madame Rue!

-To who?
-The fortune teller.

The Autumn leaves
fundraiser.

Remember?

She totally nailed it.

That "bigger boat"
that I needed

was the bigger store
that I'm gonna need

for all this sweet vinyl.

She knew I was gonna
get pregnant!

What was your fortune again?

I don't remember.

I do.

"You will receive
a ring by spring,

or you will never marry."

What does
that mean?

That means that someone
is about to get engaged.

Oh, I don't think so.

Hey, good-lookin'!

Hey.

Stephanie and Gregg
are here. Say hi!

-Hi, Bryce.
-Hi, Bryce!

They both have
really big news.

Can't wait to hear it.

Can you tell me tonight?
Are you free for dinner?

Uh, sure.
Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah...

Yeah, I just, uh...

We need to talk.

Okay.

Uh, hearts of palm okay?
7:30?

Great.

I'll see you there.

Great.

See you later.

He seemed strange.

Well, of course,
he did.

He's gonna propose
to you tonight.

Don't be ridiculous.

Oh, come on,

hearts of palm, baby,

that's the most romantic
restaurant downtown.

Of course, he's gonna
propose to you tonight.

Because of what some
silly fortune teller said?

Madame Rue's batting
a thousand so far.

Oh...

I did not
see this coming.

You guys haven't
talked about marriage?

No! I mean, we've been
dating for a while,

but I haven't even
met his family.

Still.

So ...

Do you guys
want to get married?

I don't know.

I've never really
thought about it.

Well, do you love him?

Yeah. I do, you know?

I guess.

So he'll ask,
you'll say yes,

and it'll all be perfect.

Yeah. Perfect.

You know, that smells
so fantastic,

that I think I need
a little taste.

Ew!

Are you guys going to ever
stop embarrassing me?

I hope not.

You look nice.

Thank you.

I'm meeting Bryce for dinner.

Um, can I talk to you guys
about something?

Sure, honey,
fire away.

How would you feel
if I got married?

You're getting married?

No, not yet,

not technically,

but I'm pretty sure

Bryce is gonna
pop the question tonight.

"Pop the question."

That's a weird phrase,
why do people say that?

We don't really...

Know Bryce
all that well...

No, but we like him.

We like him.

Good. Good! That's good.

So I will just go,
and I will...

I will get engaged.

I don't want to be late,

to my engagement, so...

This all looks delicious.

Good night!
Love you guys!

Have we met him?

Good talk,
good talk...

Well, this is
a surprise.

I'll say.

Are you ready to be
a mother-in-law?

Yeah.

I think I could handle that.

Thanks.

Is that cream?

Okay...

I had a really
great time

with Grady and his family
over Thanksgiving.

I know.

You said that.

Especially with
my niece and nephew.

Kids are...

So much fun when they're...

When they're little like that.

You have a stray hair.

Hmm?

Oh.

Thank you.

So anyways, uh...

I've been spending
a lot of time with them,

and, well, I've been...

Asking myself some questions.

What kind of questions?

You know.

Questions.

Like, "who am I?"

Where am I going?
What do I want?"

Ah, the trivial ones.

He didn't bring me a spoon.

Oh, it-it's there.

Spoons don't go on the left.

What was he thinking?

You were saying?

The, um...

The questions?

Right, um...

Ones that, at our age,
we should be asking ourselves.

And did you find any answers?

Yeah.

In particular,
the "what do I want?" One.

And?

And...

I want a family, Caryn.

A wife, kids,

the whole banana.

Okay.

And so, as unexpected

as this is
probably going to be

and it is for me, too,
believe me

I've decided
that I can't see you anymore.

What?

Um...

I'm breaking up with you.

You just said you wanted
the whole banana.

I-I do.

So why are you not
proposing to me?

Proposing?

Caryn, you're not exactly
marriage material.

What do you mean
I'm not marriage material?

And, by the way, "material,"

that's a very offensive word
in this context.

I mean, you don't
want to get married.

Why would you say that?

Because...

You don't.

I couldn't believe it.

I mean, I did not
see this coming.

What am I
supposed to do now?

How do you mean?

According to madame rue,

if I'm not engaged by
when does spring begin?

March 20th.

-By March 20th,

I'm destined to be an old maid.

"Old maid"? That's a weird
turn of phrase, too.

I don't like it either.

So, am I supposed to go
husband hunting?

Is there, like, a link
on Craigslist for that?

Maybe you're not
destined to get married.

That's what Bryce said!

Do you agree with him?

Well, I don't know,

but just think about it.

I mean, how long have you known
that I wanted to be a mom?

Since forever.

And that Gregg
would throw himself

in front of a moving train

to save a shrink-wrapped
first pressing

of "Meet the Beatles"?

-The same.
-Right.

Because we talk
about those things.

Obsessively.

And unless you are
keeping secrets from me,

I have never heard you mention
wanting to get married.

Not once.

And I have known you
most of my...

Stephanie?

Honey, are you okay?

Stephanie?

Are you okay?

Is there anything
I can do to help?

No, no...

Ugh...

Remind me again

why I wanted to
get pregnant so much?

They say morning sickness
is a good sign.

Mm-hmm.

Well, what they
don't tell you

is that it is
morning-noon-and-night

sickness.

Well, it won't
last forever.

It's okay.

If it means I have
a healthy baby,

I can live with it.

"Ring, ring, ring,"
time to get up.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

Tommy, time to get up.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

Come on, buddy!

It's another beautiful day!

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

Okay, shut up.

Hey.

Hey, good morning.

Good morning.

You look like you just woke up.

Uh, I did.

You slept here?

Yeah, in my office.

I do that a lot.

And that's your breakfast?

Yeah. You want some?

No, I'm good.

So, how's it going in here?

You making any sense
of this mess?

Uh, yeah, I'm getting there.

Good.

Um...

Well, I'll, uh,
let you get back to work.

I desperately need
a cup of coffee.

You know, I could
use one, too.

I'll come with you.

All right.

Oh, a little slide whistle!
I love these.

Hey, so tell me
something.

Was it your C.F.O.'S idea?

To have your financials spread
all over K ingdom come?

Oh, we don't have a C.F.O.,

but we have a really
awesome c.P.A.

You're a multi-million-
dollar company!

I know.
Scary, huh?

It's unusual,
for sure.

I'm the first
to admit it,

we've been flying
by the seat of our pants,

and we can't
keep that up forever

not if we expect
to have a future.

Oh, the future.

I guess it's part of
human nature

to avoid
thinking about it.

It's definitely
part of mine.

How's your
bowling game?

As in "bowling"
bowling?

Yeah.

Uh,
pretty much non-existent.

Well, that's perfect.

Our company bowling team
meets every week.

Now, we're all
really bad,

but we just do it
to relax and hang.

It's open to anybody
if you want to join us.

That'd be great.

Give me a chance

to get to know some
of your employees.

Ugh, "employees."
I hate that word.

Makes me feel like lumbergh
from "office space."

Oh, I love that movie!

Yeah! It's the best!

...have you seen my

have you seen
my stapler!

Uh, so, when
do you guys meet?

Sunday afternoons.

And you better be as bad
as you say you are,

or people will get
really annoyed.

I'm the absolute worst,
I promise.

Well, I got to say,

we really weren't
that surprised.

What, you don't think

I'm "marriage material" either?

I still hate that.

No, that's not what
we're saying, sweetheart.

It's just, well,
look at your history.

You and Rory went steady
all through high school.

Right.

And you and that
mountain climber guy...

Dave.

Well, you were
inseparable in college.

And Josh
is the only guy

you dated
in business school.

See? I'm a monogamous person!

They all moved on.

And now Bruce has, too.

Bryce!

And I guarantee you

Rory didn't break up with me
because I'm not marriageable.

We were in high school.

Is he married now?

-Yes.
-Well, what about Dave?

Josh isn't married!

I thought
you and Josh lost contact.

Not possible in the age
of social media, mom.

All we're saying is,
this has been your pattern.

You are setting the bar
awfully low.

I warned you.

Show-off.

That was awesome.
You made the team.

So, what exactly

does a business
consultant do?

I analyze a business

based on its past history
and current performance

and then I make
recommendations

on how they can
do things better,

and then help implement them.

So are we getting
a report card?

You betcha!

Awesome.

Will and I
are analysts, too.

"Symbolic analysts."

-Read
-"geek."

Although Ursula's
geekier than me.

I truly am.

Pretty much everybody
at p.G.S. Is a geek,

including the boss.

I told you
never to call me that.

Uncle Harry, you made it

of course.

Watching you bozos
stumble over yourselves,

it is the best game in town.

-Hey, will.
-How's it goin', Harry?

Good
to see you, handsome.

So, who's
the pretty new face?

Uncle Harry,
this is Caryn.

She's doing some
consulting work for us.

Hi!

Nice to meet you.

I'm charmed.

I don't see a ring.

Why don't you
ask her out?

Down, boy.

Sorry.

And... go!

-Got it?
-Yeah....

Oh, Gregg,
thank you so much

for helping me with this.

I really appreciate it.

Yup.

We're really supposed
to change mattresses

every seven years?

Yep.

Well, I'm about a decade
overdue then.

Do you remember
in high school

when you asked me
to the homecoming dance?

Of course.

I asked the hottest girl
in school,

and she said "yes."

Aw...

Thanks for that "hottest girl
in school" comment.

That's not true, but...

Yes, it is.

And then that stud muffin
Rory Matthews

swept you off your feet.

Right...

That happened.

Which was
totally cool,

because then you and I
got to be friends instead.

Man, Rory Matthews.

I haven't thought
about him in ages.

Right?

He was so crazy about you,

it was ridiculous.

He really was.

So why did he break up with me?

I don't know.

And Josh?

And Dave?

Why did they just move on?

I need to find out.

Rory?

Hi! It's Caryn.

Caryn Briggs.

How are you?

Tom!

Hey, you eat here, too?

Yes, I love this place.

They have
the best mozza

mozzarella sticks in town.

Huh.

Rory!

Well, enjoy your lunch.

You, too.
Is that

oh, yeah,

extra crispy
mozzarella sticks.

Cracklin' fun for desert?

You know me so well.

Bye, Tom.

See you.

Rory.

Caryn.

It's so good to see you.

It's good
to see you, too.

Thank you for
meeting me for lunch.

No, of course.

Cooper's three and a half,

and Ashley will be one
in a few weeks.

Oh, they're super cute.

Yeah, they're a couple
of sweethearts.

That's Brandi
with Fiona.

Brandi's my wife.

And Fiona's

the golden retriever,
got it.

Brandi's
super cute, too.

Yeah, I lucked
out there.

So, how about you?

Are you married? Kids?

No. No, i'm, um...

Still an army of one.

Well, that
doesn't surprise me.

It doesn't?

No. No, you were always
so independent.

So self-contained.

Brandi's the opposite.

She needs
a lot of attention.

So...

Brandi is high maintenance?

Majorly.

And if i'm
the opposite of that,

that means I'm ...

Low maintenance?

In high school you sure were.

Isn't low maintenance
a good thing?

I like high maintenance.

I like taking care of Brandi
and the kids.

I like feeling needed.

Okay. So, I did not make you
feel needed in high school?

Is that why you called me
after all these years?

Are you working on some
unresolved high school issues?

No. No, not really
high school exactly,

but I do have this pattern

where the guys that I'm dating,
it's going great,

and then they just move on.

You know, like you did.

We were 17.

But if I didn't make you
feel needed in high school,

why were you with me?

High school relationships

are pretty much
all about hormones, Caryn,

and you, too, are pretty cute.

Anyways, I don't think
"romance" is the right word.

You were not romantic.

I wasn't?

No, um..

Do you remember your report
on "Romeo and Juliet"?

You said

Juliet had her whole life
ahead of her...

And she threw it all away.

For love.

Yeah, I do remember that.

Maybe that's
your pattern,

wanting to
avoid that.

Gregg is here to see you.

Send him in.

Thank you.

Hi, Gregg.

Bryce...
Good to see you.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

So...

We're updating your business's

liability policy,
right?

Yeah.

I'm moving into a bigger space.

That's the new lease agreement.

Great.

Let's have a look.

Hey, have you seen Caryn lately?

Yeah. A week ago.

How's she doing?

She's good,
she's...

Same old Caryn, you know.

Good...

Man, -that was hard, breaking up with her.

Yeah?

Yeah, I still care about her,
a lot.

Just, uh...

Didn't see a future for us,
you know?

Right.

Then I guess it's best
you broke it off.

Yeah, I guess. I guess...

I just, uh...

I still miss her.

Let's get back to this.

Uh, let's see,
everything looks good.

Let's review 5-d.

Yeah, I remember
that book report.

I mean, we were
all pretty shocked.

Girls love "Romeo and Juliet."

And why were you having lunch
with Rory Matthews?

I'm on a journey.

A journey backwards?

Mostly.

And what are you
hoping to find

on this journey?

Why every guy
I have ever dated dumped me.

Well, figuring things out
is your specialty.

Are you going to eat
all of those?

I sure am.

I'm finally over
the morning sickness,

and I have been waiting
my whole life

to take a vacation from dieting
and eat whatever I want.

I mean, it is the whole point
of being pregnant.

Also, the, um,
the baby you're going to have.

That, too.

So, what's the next stop
on your journey?

Mickey samelson
from junior high?

Ew! No!
And I dumped him.

Well then, it's got to be

Dave!

Hey, it's Caryn!

Yes, that Caryn.

Well, I saw on Facebook

that you are gonna be
in town next week,

and I thought...

She has a very
active social life.

Well then, ask her out
for crying out loud,

come on.

...tuesday for coffee
sounds perfect!

Okay, Dave,
I'll see you then.

Have a great trip.

Bye.

Wow, Dave, that is
an unbelievable view.

Well, it better be.

It takes
about three days

to climb to the top
of Kilimanjaro.

Did you have to train a lot
before you went?

Oh, yeah, definitely,

but that's
part of the fun.

Who's that?

Oh, Monica,
on our safari.

Boy, she looks really fit.

She is.

She keeps me on my toes.

We're headed to
bonaire this summer.

Where is that?

The Dutch Caribbean.

Some of the best scuba
diving in the world.

Here you go.

Cool.

So ... no kids yet?

No kids ever.

We decided pretty early on

that we were going to focus
our full attention

on each other.

Right.

I read more and more couples
are doing that.

Yeah.

Look, between us,

Monica and I, we make
a pretty darn good living.

Low-stress jobs,
lots of vacation time,

so why tie ourselves
to raising a family

when there's
all those adventures

out there
to tackle, right?

Right. Yes.

So, what about you?

You, uh, you still single?

I don't see a ring.

Yeah. Yup,
still an army of one.

Thank you so much
for meeting me today.

Um, do you mind

if I, um, ask you a question?

Not at all.

Why exactly did you
break up with me?

Do you remember?

Sure. I did it
to see what you'd do.

What did you
want me to do?

Fight for me.

I didn't know that.

Well, I'm sorry
if that sounds harsh,

but it always
seemed to me,

that, you know, even though
we had great times together,

you never wanted me
in your life

as much as
I wanted you in mine.

Yes, I did!

Well then, why did you give up
so easily when I broke it off?

So he was
testing you?

Yeah.

That is so
manipulative.

Maybe, but I failed.

No, I don't think so.

No, a guy like that?

You're better off
without him.

So, what was I doing with him
for three years?

You were young,
in college.

Do you think it's possible
that I was with him

because I knew we weren't
going to have a future?

And Josh? And Bryce?

Because "I had
my whole life ahead of me,

and I didn't want to just
throw it away for love?"

Huh?

Her "Romeo and Juliet"
book report.

You remember that?

Sure.

You're the only girl
I ever met

who didn't like
"Romeo and Juliet."

So, what does that
say about me?

It says you were 12,

and, like most kids,
knew everything.

Maybe I did.

Why don't we just
watch our movie.

It's not
a romance, is it?

No, it's a mystery.
It's British.

I like British guys.

Maybe my husband's British.

All right...

That's the last
thing you'd want

is a British guy.

Dad...

You are gonna find
the guy of your dreams.

Hi, Ursula.

Hey, Tom.

Huh, is that
a new shirt?

Yeah.

It's nice.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Are you wearing aftershave?

Yeah.

So when are you
gonna ask her out?

Ask who out?

Come on, Tom,

you think your friends
are idiots?

We've all seen the way
you've been looking at Caryn.

It's that obvious, huh?

Look, how long ago did you
and Ashley break up?

Like, 18 months?

Yeah, something like that.

So you're, like, way overdue
to start dating again.

Ursula, I don't want to just
date to date.

I want to get serious
about somebody.

You gotta date 'em first.

She's really cool, Tom.

Just go for it.

You sound like uncle Harry.

Well, Harry's a very smart guy.

Hey!

Josh!

Hey. Nice to hear from you.
It's been a long time.

I know!

How are you?
How's San Diego?

Sunny and prosperous.

My surfboard business
has really taken off.

Really?

Well, I'm not surprised.

I mean, you were the star
of our m.B.A. Program.

And what about you?

Are you still consulting?

Yes, I am.

I'm actually running
into p.G.S. Right now.

Ah, the surplus guys,

I love them.

Look, I can't talk for long.

I'm about to start a meeting.

Is there a reason
you got in touch?

Yeah.

I'm actually...

This is kind of awkward,

but, lately, I've been doing
a lot of soul-searching,

and I was just wondering,

when business school was over,
and I was moving back here,

were you at all tempted
to ask me to stay?

Sure.

So why didn't you?

Because I knew
you weren't in love with me.

Well, were you in love with me?

Yeah, crazy
in love.

Josh, I didn't know that.

I told you.

Didn't you believe me?

Not really.

I'm so sorry!

Ah, no, don't be.

I'm over it,
and we had a great run.

Yeah, we really did, didn't we?

Don't do too much
soul-searching, Caryn.

Just embrace the moment.

You're always
really good at that.

Thank you, Josh.

That's so sweet.

I don't know,

come out and see me soon.

I would like that.

-Hi.
-Hi!

All right, I'm going to buzz.
Good talkin' to you.

One second.
You, too!

Have a great day!

Hi!

Oh, uh, I read
your preliminary report.

I was wondering if you had time

to go through it
with me?

Sure. Yes, you wanna...

Let's go to my office.

Sure.

I know this is
none of my business,

but, uh, was that
your boyfriend?

No, I'm actually not dating
anyone at the moment.

Oh.

So I guess a lot
of your friends

just happen to be
guys, huh?

What do you mean?

Well, the diner...

Rory! Right.

And-and Josh.

And somebody
named Dave?

Bowling? Phone call?

No, those guys
are all friends.

I was in a relationship,
a very serious one,

until recently.

Ah, did he go
commitment-shy on you,

'cause I know that drill.

No, it was actually me.

I couldn't make
the commitment he wanted,

so I'm not committed,

even though he never asked me
to commit.

I think I could be committed,
but I'm not.

Why didn't you ask him?

Because I didn't know
I wanted that.

Do you?

I don't know.

I think that whole

"she had her whole life
ahead of her

and just
threw it all away" thing

really twisted me up.

This is the Romeo
and Juliet thing?

Yes. I got it
in my head

that if you let yourself
fall in love with someone,

your whole world changes.

Well, doesn't it?

Yes, but change is good.

I thought change was bad.

Well, it can be.

Hey, Marco.

So, what are you
trying to say?

You're sorry
Bryce broke up with you?

Yes!

I think I blew it.

I don't think so.

I think you still
have a shot with him.

What?

I saw him the other day,

and he seemed really sad
about the breakup.

Why didn't you tell me that?

Sorry I'm late, guys!

But you have got to see this.

Meet...

My baby.

What?

I know!

Stephanie, that's so cool!

Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh!

I know...

Oh, my gosh...

Wow...

You love being married,
don't you?

Well, except
on those days

when Austin
drives me up the wall.

And now, a baby
on the way?

It is a beautiful life
you're living,

Stephanie kirkwood.

What is this?

What is this all about?

This journey
that I've been on,

it's just, I think

I've finally found my way
out of the maze.

Yeah?

Yeah, I mean, all the guys
that I've dated,

they've all known
something about me

that I didn't even
know myself,

or at least I wouldn't
admit to myself.

What?

I'm afraid of marriage,

and I have to
get over that.

I think madame rue's
prediction

was a wake-up call.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

You were wrong about me, Bryce.

I am marriage material.

I really am.

Can we...

Can we talk?

Yeah.

Come on in.

After you.

So, I don't know
if you're going to believe this,

but I saw
a fortune teller.

She said I would receive
a ring by spring.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.

A fortune teller
told you this?

Yes, but a really amazing one.

She totally saw what was
going to happen

with Stephanie and Gregg.

So you want to
get back together

so that this prediction
can come true?

No. No, because this
is supposed to happen.

You were ahead of me.

I'm just... catching up.

I missed you.

So, did you look at
all of these magazines

when you were planning
your wedding?

A lot of them.

I had no idea
there were so many.

This is just
the tip of the iceberg.

Hello!

Dinner
is served.

Wonderful!

I'll go serve us up.

What are
you guys doin'?

Bryce and I
are getting married!

I thought
you broke up.

Austin...

I-I mean, uh... wow!

Caryn, that's-
that's great.

I know!

Thank you for
picking up dinner...

Getting married?

Mm-hmm.

Is this for real?

I don't know.

As far as I can tell,
he hasn't proposed,

they haven't set a date.

But they're seeing
each other again?

Apparently.

Is this
a good thing?

I hope so.

But looking at bridal
magazines with Caryn,

someone I have known
my whole life,

who has never shown
the least bit of interest

in stuff like this?

...i love you guys.

Weird.

By now you all know Caryn.

The hands-down
worst bowler on the team.

Thank you.

She's spent the past many weeks
analyzing P.G.S.

From top to bottom,

figuring out
what makes us tick,

and, hopefully, how to make us
tick even better,

but I'll let her
explain all that.

So, without further ado,
please welcome Caryn Briggs!

First of all,

I want to say congratulations
to all of you

for running such a successful,

customer-friendly
business.

Yes!

Now, I have advised a lot
of businesses over the years,

and most of the time,

what I discover,

which nobody wants to hear,

is they're not working
hard enough.

With you guys,

it's actually
the opposite

you work too hard!

Most of you put in
eight to ten-hour days,

occasional all-nighters.

Like the guy here
who does not want to be called

your boss.

And organizationally,

well, there is not
a lot of organization.

As a result,

you're not as effective
as you could be.

Now, this lays out
my recommendations

for how we fix that.

Over the next six weeks,
we will implement them,

which means I will be spending
one-on-one time

with all of you,

and then we will crunch
the real-time numbers

and see how effective they are.

How does that sound?

Sounds good.

I heard we have
homework?

Yes, you do.

Oh, boy...

That was awesome.

Work 9:00 to 5:00?
What a concept.

Thank you.

Let me know when our
one-on-one is gonna be.

Will do.

I'll tell you right now,

there's no way I'm going home
at 5:00 every day.

Well, I'm a consultant,
not a cop,

but if you don't,

and business
doesn't improve,

don't blame me.

You really think
this is going to help?

You better believe I do,

or hiring me
was a waste of time.

Point taken.

Hey, are you hungry?

'Cause I am jonesing for
some mozzarella sticks.

Oh, I would love to,
but I can't tonight.

What about
tomorrow night?

Like a dinner date.

That's, um...

Wow, I mean, that's...

That's really sweet.

I, um...

But my-my boyfriend...

Bryce and I

just got back together.

Oh.

That whole
commitment thing

that I told you about,

we worked on it,
and, um...

We're gonna get married.

Married?

Uh...

Congratulations.

Um, I mean,
congratulations to Bryce.

Since you're supposed to
congratulate the guy

and not the girl.

I didn't know that.

That's something
that's...

Well, this is...

It's great news.

I mean, you should
invite him bowling.

I would love to meet him.

Okay. I will.

And-and thank you for...

Asking me out.

I mean, if I were single,
I would have really liked that.

So I'll get...

Yeah.

-I'm getting the hang of this.
-Good!

-I'm getting better, right?
-Don't you think?

Yes

okay, one,
two, three...

One, two three..

Yeah. Ooh, I'm sorry.

You're doing great!
Not at all, honey.

You know, we could...

We don't have to
do this standing up.

Oh, Peter...

That's the part
of dancing people forget...

Don't you think?

Oh...

Stop...

Oh, there you are!

Hi, sweetheart.

You guys look fantastic!

Oh, hardly.

No, no, no,
the judges have spoken.

How long
have you been dancing?

Uh, since tonight.

Yeah.

There's a Valentine's day
dance at the rec center,

we don't want to
embarrass ourselves.

And we won't.

We might.

It'll need to be taken in.

You're thinner than I was
on my wedding day.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I have zero attachment

to the idea of you
getting married

in the dress I wore.

You know that, right?

Right.

I gotta admit.

I never thought I'd see
myself in one of these.

Why?

Can I talk to you
about something?

Sure.

Mom, how did you do this?

I know the sacrifices
you've had to make

to marry dad.

What are you talking about?

New York, publishing,
your whole career.

That was just a job
I had after college.

But it was so exciting
and glamorous.

But it wasn't
what I wanted, Caryn.

This.

And...

And you,

and your dad,

this is what I wanted.

I didn't give up anything.

I got it.

Is that where, "she threw it
all away for love" came from?

The way you felt about me
and my choices?

I think so.

Oh, baby, I'm so sorry.

Do not spill that.

Because that is...
That's so not true.

I would have sacrificed anything
to be with your dad,

and never for an instant
have considered it a sacrifice.

I get that
you would have done anything

to be with dad,

but you guys are still
crazy in love.

What is the secret?

Well, for starters,
we like each other.

Of course you do.

When I wake up in the morning,

and I see your dad
lying next to me,

or I hear him in here
making breakfast,

it makes me smile.

It's another day,

and your dad is going to
be a part of it,

and that makes me happy.

If you can't wake up
every morning and feel that way,

it can be real hard
to keep a marriage together.

I could see that.

Just between
you and me,

it was your dad's idea,

this Valentine's day dance.

My idea of a perfect
romantic evening

is the two of us at home
in our comfiest pyjamas,

a great meal,

followed by
a cup of hot chocolate,

and a romantic movie on the TV.

I'm gonna go give this
to your dad.

Do not spill that.

Here you go, sweetie.

Oh, thank you.

What are you watching?

This is the next episode
in that series...

Yes!

Wow, look at that.

Yes!

You're my
good luck charm, hmm?

Yes!

What is that,

three in a row
for you now?

Yeah, I've got
some good game today?

My personal best
is like... 239.

Wow. I don't think
we've hit 239

with all of our scores
added together.

Not even close.

Man, I haven't been
bowling in forever.

Caryn was never
really into it,

so I was surprised
when she...

Hey, babe, babe, babe
don't. No...

Come on,
we've been through this.

You're holding it wrong,

that's why it's ending up
in the gutter.

Come on, focus, baby,

I can't go through this with you
every single time.

Back here.

Come on, just here.

Just focus, though.

Sorry, guys.

Okay.

Two feet together.

You're gonna take
three steps out,

and let
the ball go, okay?

Good, good, good...

Let it go excellent!

Aw, yeah.

And the bar
plummets downward!

And a hamburger
walks into a bar,

and the bartender says, "sorry,
we don't serve food in here."

Oh, no...

Tough crowd.

But the number one
"walk into a bar" joke

a horse trots in

and the bartender looks up
and says, "why the long face?"

I don't get it.

Because it was a horse.

Get it? Long?

Oh... okay.

That's funny.

Hey, listen, we're going to
go to Pagliotti's

and get something to eat,

why don't you come with?

Oh, that sounds great!

Hey, do you mind
if we don't?

I'm just trying to
stay away from carbs.

Okay, um, then I will...

I'll see you
at the office.

All right.

Good game!

Yeah!
Nice meeting you.

Bye!

Oh!

What?

I'd better
arrange your collar.

Thanks, sweetie.

When are you going to learn
how to put on a coat, huh?

He is trying
to fix her collar?

He is so not cool.

Come on, you guys,
we just met him.

What is she
doing with that guy?

You could totally
steal her from him, Tom.

And what kind of guy
does that, huh?

A knight in shining
armor kind of guy.

Yeah, yeah...

See you guys
at the restaurant.

Yeah, see you.

Oh... Bryce,
they're beautiful!

Happy Valentine's day.

You look great.

Thank you.

Hey, I was thinking,

are you sure
you want to stay in?

Absolutely.

I have a great night planned.

I made your favorites,

Kale with cranberry and walnuts,

salmon,

with a balsamic glaze...

Wow.

Oven-roasted potatoes...

Very nice.

Pecan pie...

And I have

the most romantic
Valentine's day movie ever.

Do you like the Rosemary?

Mm-hmm.

The baby better have
your eyes.

I've never known anybody

to get so many
magazines here.

This table's loose.

It was a wonderful
evening!

Oh, it was!

And it's not over yet.

Oh!

...she knew my heart
better than I did myself..

...and there was only
one thing to say,

it was all
there ever was to say.

"I love you..."

Tom!

You're leaving!

Well, I have to, it's 5:00.

Good night.

I reviewed the new numbers.

Business is up.

I know.

I gotta admit,

I wasn't convinced
your plan would work.

Well, it makes sense.

Now that P.G.S.
Is more organized,

you're all working
saner hours,

so you have more time to rest,
enjoy yourselves,

recharge your batteries
for when you are on the job.

Well, I am gonna miss
my all-nighters.

You're not
in college anymore, Tom.

And I am really excited

to see what's going to happen
with your company

now that we've implemented
these changes.

So how is it
you're still working?

Do as I say,
not as I do.

I'll walk out with you.

Let me get my coat.

How was your
Valentine's day?

Good.

We just stayed in
and watched a movie.

Yeah, me too.
My favorite.

"Office space?"

No... my favorite
romantic movie.

Which is?

I don't know
if I should tell you.

It's pretty embarrassing.

Well, you're definitely
telling me now.

"A forever kind of love."

That...

Is my favorite movie ever.

Come on...

Yeah, we watched it, too.

Well, I did.

Cool.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

What did you
think of Bryce?

Oh, um...

Sorry to put you
on the spot like that,

but my family and friends
have known him

for a couple of years,

and I just wanted to
get a fresh perspective.

Okay, uh,

well, he seemed
really... focused,

substantial,

solid, uh...

And neat.

Does he iron his jeans?

He does.

Well, there you go,

he's definitely
marriage material.

"Material..."

That sounds kind of offensive,
doesn't it?

I've never understood
that phrase.

I'm sorry.

Well, thank you.

Sure.

Good night.

Thanks for agreeing to be
Austin's lamaze back-up.

Oh, here you go.

Not a problem.

It's part of the best friend
job description.

I do have to say,

that instructional video
was pretty graphic.

Yeah, well, childbirth
is not for the faint of heart.

Which is why
you are gonna rock it.

You parked
on the street, right?

Yes.

-I'm that a way.
-Okay.

-I love you.
-Love you.

Tom?

Tom?

Hi.

Hey.

What are you
doing here?

Uh, it's uncle Harry.

He fell and broke his leg.

No...

Did you want to see him?

Oh, yes.

Well, he had his surgery

that he weathered fine

but he's still
in a lot of pain.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Well, it was kind of
his own fault.

He was trying to fix
a smoke alarm

that was on a stepladder
that was way too low,

and he... fell.

He should have called me
to help him,

but he's just always been
so independent

and self-contained.

Yeah, that
sounds familiar.

Aw...

I love that
about him, though.

Always growing

and taking on
new challenges.

It's really
inspirational.

It is.

Cora...

-Hey... Tom.
-Hey.

I had a dream
about Cora just now.

She looked so beautiful.

We were in the old house,

in the kitchen,

and she was pouring us some tea.

You remember how graceful
she looked

when she did that?

The way she held the teapot
just so?

I loved her for that.

How you feeling,
uncle Harry?

I feel like I can't wait
to get out of here.

Attaboy.

Hi.

How are you
feeling?

So you finally asked her out.

Good for you.

She's just visiting,
uncle Harry.

Yeah, right.

Sorry about that.

He's an incorrigible
matchmaker.

I've noticed.

Who was Cora?

His wife.

My aunt.

They were married
for 49 years.

Wow...

Yeah, she passed
a few years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No. No, it was good,
it was time.

He knew it
better than anyone

and realized
he had to let her go.

He still really
has it going on.

Oh, yeah.

The opposite sex still puts
a twinkle in his eye.

You know, I think
a big reason for that

is because
he loved my aunt so much.

He loved feeling that way
about somebody.

You know, it's probably
not in the cards for him,

but he'd love to feel
that way again.

Boy, they sure
set the bar high.

I guess I...

I should get back to him.

I'll see you
in the office?

Okay.

Caryn!

Listen...

I wasn't
entirely honest with you

the other day,

when you asked me
what I thought about Bryce.

Oh.

I mean, I meant what I said.

He does seem solid

and the kind of guy
a woman would marry.

Is he the kind of guy
you should marry?

What do you mean?

What I mean is...

He's got you,

but does he get you?

You're smart, and fun

and super good at
what you do...

And obviously,
I only met him once,

so what do I know?

But I had to ask myself,

based on that one
and only impression,

does he really appreciate
how special you are

and how lucky he is?

Are you his Cora?

Does he love you like that?

Is he gonna love you
like that for 49 years?

And are you gonna
love him like that back?

Because I know it's ridiculously
old fashioned to believe this,

but I do believe it,

the only love worth having
and wanting

is that forever kind.

Do you have that
with Bryce?

I'm sorry, but...

You asked the question.

I just wanted to give you
my full and honest answer.

Thank you.

Okay.

All right,
now I'm leaving.

You know,
that smells so fantastic,

that I think I need...

A little taste.

Ew!

You have the most
uncanny timing.

Timing is not necessary
with you guys.

You are always canoodling.

You look nice.

I'm having dinner tonight
with Bryce

at hearts of palm.

Oh?

Oh-ho.

I just stopped by
to say thank you.

Thanks for what?

For being wonderful parents.

You see?

I've always told you

we raised a very
intelligent daughter.

Even with
all the canoodling?

Maybe
because of it.

It is super annoying,
for sure, but...

It's truly lovely.

It's inspirational.

That's...

Thanks.

I love you guys

and I just wanted
to tell you that.

So, dinner with Bryce...

Come on, group hug.

Thank you so much
for everything.

Hmm...

I don't know.

Maybe I'll just go for
straight ice cream...

Uh... no, no, no, no.

What are you
going to order?

Um, I don't... I don't know.

What?

We need to talk.

Okay.

About what?

About us
getting married,

this whole
"Ring by spring" thing.

I love you, Bryce.

I really truly do.

Aw...

I love you, too, babe.

But I am trying

to make something happen
that isn't supposed to happen,

all because of some
fortune teller's prediction.

And...

Wait, sorry,

what isn't supposed to happen?

Us getting married.

Well, me getting married.

It's not
in the cards for me.

That's what the prediction said,

and I can see that now.

And I know this comes
as a surprise to you,

because it definitely comes
as a surprise to me,

and I am so sorry.

Well, to be honest with you,

I mean, I leapt into this

because I really do
care about you, but...

In my heart of hearts,

I think my initial
instinct was right.

You're not really marriage

oh, please
don't say "material."

Look, marriage is
a beautiful thing,

but if you are gonna
take that leap,

and you are
going to wear that ring,

you need to be committed,
all the way, forever

just like mom and dad,

Stephanie and Austin,

and-and some other people
that I've met.

Sorry, I...

Just to be clear,

we're breaking up?

Yeah,

and I'm sorry.

And even though we aren't
meant to be together,

you are going to find
someone wonderful,

and she is going to be so lucky.

Caryn! Caryn! Caryn! Caryn!

Caryn is a star!

Caryn! Caryn!

Caryn is a star!

Caryn! Caryn! Caryn! Caryn!

So, even though
you're leaving us,

you're still going to
bowl with us, right?

You're on
the fast track

to earn our
"least improved" trophy

this year.

A highly coveted honor.

I would love to.

Awesome.

Time to refuel?

Definitely.
Thanks again.

Aw...

Hey!

Hey.

This was
so thoughtful of you.

No, it was
the whole gang's idea.

You really made
an impression around here.

See, we needed
a grown-up to come in

and whip us into shape,

so thank you for that.

Imitating office space
character]:

As you can see, I did not
get a piece of cake!

Do you want
my piece of cake?

"I will burn this place
to the ground."

"I will set fire
to the building."

Thank you.

Listen, I just wanted to
thank you once again

for everything
you've done for us.

Oh, of course,

this has been
really great.

Um, I do
want to say, though,

that you shouldn't use me
as a benchmark

for what it means
to be a grown-up.

I mean, I'm just beginning
to figure out who I am

and what I want.

What?

It's probably not the best time
to get married then.

It isn't,

and i'm-I'm not.

Bryce and I
broke up again.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

It was my decision.

So... all is good.

Wait, you didn't
break up with him

because of
what I said to you, did you?

No, no, no, you just...

Channeled back to me

exactly what I was thinking
and feeling,

and I thank you for that.

Well, you're welcome
for that.

And are you
free for dinner then?

Tom...

You're amazing.

But I've actually

sworn off the relationship
business for a while.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

It's gonna break
a lot of hearts.

I doubt it.

Good night, Tom.

Hey!

You are a truly wonderful guy,

and if things were different

they are different.

You're single now.

But if there's
anything I've learned

over these past few months,

it's that I'm not good at love.

I don't believe that.

It's true.

I mean, maybe
in the short term, I'm okay,

but in the long run?

So...

What,

just friends then?

Good friends.

You're still going to come
bowling with us, though, right?

Yes.

I will see you
at the bowling alley.

Okay.

Good night, Caryn.

Good night.

This whole experience
forced me to look at my life

for maybe
the first time ever,

and ask some really
important questions.

"Who am I?"

"What do I want?"

"Where am I going?"

And what did you come up with?

I mean, I have great friends.

Thank you guys so very much.

I have wonderful
parents

they're slightly
exasperating.

I've got a great job.

I mean, I am going

exactly where
I'm supposed to be going.

And if I'm destined to
go there alone,

I'm okay with that.

Caryn, you are
30 years old.

I mean, how can you
possibly know

that you are destined
to be alone?

I can't know that,

but madame rue did.

She's a prank
fortune teller

that a charity fund-raising
committee hired.

She can't really see
into the future.

Oh, yeah?

Well, how's that big new store
you just moved into?

And you,
are you faking?

Is that a pillow
under there?

You said it yourself,

I may not be destined
for marriage.

I may have said that, but...

It doesn't mean
it's what I want for you.

It's okay, guys!

It really, truly is!

The thin edge.

What?

Maybe she forgot.

She didn't forget.

She'll be here.

And a grapefruit.

Thank you.

Where is it?

Tell me
you left it at home.

I'm sorry, how do I know you?

Oh...

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Madame Rue!

Madame Rue, please stop!

Wait, stop!

Madame R ue?

It is you, right?

Hi!

Do you
remember me?

Of course, I remember you.

Okay, what did you just mean,
when you said, "where is it?"

Ah.

Take your gloves off.

Give me your hands.

Give me your hands.

It's the same thing.

What's the same thing?

It's the same thing.

What is the same thing?

"You will receive
a Ring by spring,

or you will never marry."

I saw the same thing.

Same prediction.

No, no, no, no, no,

I do not predict anything.

I just... see it.

I-I don't understand.

At that fundraiser,

I saw you with a ring
before spring.

Well, it's spring,

in spite of this
awful weather.

But there's no ring,
is there?

So, I'll never
get married.

That's fine.

Fine?
Why should it be fine?

Well, it has to be.

That's my destiny.

What?

You are a young
and vibrant woman

with your whole life
ahead of you!

Why would you just
throw it away?

"Throw it away?"
Why would you say that?

Please don't say that!

What?

Here.

What are you doing?

If I have doomed you
to a life alone

which was never my intention

the least thing I can do
is to give you a refund.

Wait, so you weren't saying
I'm destined to be single?

I said I saw you with a ring.

I'm sorry you didn't get it.

Yes, Ursula,
so close.

So bad.

Wheel it over
a little bit.

Next time.

You guys want anything
from the snack bar?

A lemonade for me.

Cracklin' fun
if they have it.

You got it.

The minute you stop
hoping she'll come,

that's the minute
she'll come.

That makes no sense.

Now, life's like that.

Quit being a lovesick Romeo.

You've got a smart phone,
use it.

I am fine,
uncle Harry.

Don't settle for fine!

Well, look who's here.

Nice to see you again.

Hi. Oh, I'm so sorry
I'm late.

Better late than never.

Glad you're here!

We need someone
to relevel the playing field.

Yeah, Tom's bowled,

like, three strikes
already, so...

I don't know what it is,

I'm totally
off my game today.

Ah...

Oh, it's heading
a little west.

Nice! Good ball.

Are you okay?

Not really.

Bad day?

Yeah.

Is there anything
we can do to help?

No. I'll be fine.

Maybe this'll
cheer you up.

That's your box.

No, this is my gift.

From me to you.

Thank you.

What?

What are you doing?

Excuse me.

Seriously?

Whoo!

It's not bad.

It's my new style.

Did you see that?

I'm sorry it took me
so long to figure this out.

You're here now.

I am.
