1
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:12,500
Natalie.

2
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:14,020
Wait, wait, wait.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:15,520
Got it.

4
00:00:16,055 --> 00:00:17,196
You asked me to tell
you when it was 5 o 'clock.

5
00:00:17,220 --> 00:00:18,220
It is now 5.05.

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,536
I'm meeting Josh
for dinner tonight.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,120
The cab driver.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:21,640
No.

9
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:22,280
That was Eddie.

10
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:22,900
We broke up a year ago.

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Oh, sorry.

12
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:24,260
Donut guy?

13
00:00:24,540 --> 00:00:25,160
That was Jim.

14
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,296
We broke up last Christmas.

15
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,820
Now, Josh is the accounts
manager at Marcus Brothers.

16
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,537
He just got offered a
very big promotion and

17
00:00:30,538 --> 00:00:31,920
he's taking me to Four
Buddies to celebrate.

18
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,440
He says he has something very
special he wants to ask me tonight.

19
00:00:35,441 --> 00:00:38,340
And what masterpiece
are you editing today?

20
00:00:38,885 --> 00:00:40,540
This is an incredibly
important book.

21
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,500
It actually reminds me of why I
got into publishing in the first place.

22
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,060
It's full of tragedy
and triumph.

23
00:00:48,820 --> 00:00:49,600
Tragedy and Triumph.

24
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,720
The History of the
Cornfield War of 1931.

25
00:00:52,020 --> 00:00:53,596
This is the kind of book that's
going to change the world.

26
00:00:53,620 --> 00:00:55,000
Not if only ten people read it.

27
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,080
I'm going to be late.

28
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:00,640
But Natalie, wouldn't it be
nice just once to work on a

29
00:01:00,641 --> 00:01:03,740
book that doesn't sit on a
shelf and collect dust like this?

30
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:05,420
Oh, you know how
I feel about that.

31
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,080
I feel about Beverly Wilcox.

32
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:06,900
That's not writing.

33
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
That's barely printing.

34
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,440
She sells millions of copies.

35
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:11,817
Just because something is
popular doesn't necessarily mean

36
00:01:11,818 --> 00:01:13,941
it's good and doesn't
necessarily mean it's bad either.

37
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,040
Come on, be honest.

38
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:17,240
Don't you want to edit a
book that you can buy at

39
00:01:17,241 --> 00:01:19,120
an airport, take on vacation
and read on a beach?

40
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:22,040
Lisa, you can't change the
world without getting a tan.

41
00:01:32,850 --> 00:01:35,310
Yes, Beverly, I know you're
our number one author.

42
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:36,150
I couldn't tell.

43
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:37,130
Yes, I know.

44
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:38,886
You could go to any
other publisher in town.

45
00:01:38,910 --> 00:01:40,070
But don't worry.

46
00:01:40,071 --> 00:01:45,730
We're going to find you an editor who
understands not just the Beverly Wilcox

47
00:01:45,731 --> 00:01:49,231
brand, but also the artist
behind the Beverly Wilcox

48
00:01:49,232 --> 00:01:53,010
brand, which of course
would be you, Beverly Wilcox.

49
00:01:54,990 --> 00:01:55,990
Hello, Beverly?

50
00:01:56,530 --> 00:01:57,530
Goodbye to you, too.

51
00:01:58,820 --> 00:01:59,430
Any luck?

52
00:01:59,630 --> 00:02:00,630
Not exactly.

53
00:02:00,670 --> 00:02:04,410
I've tried both of our in-house
editors, three of our regular freelancers,

54
00:02:04,635 --> 00:02:06,115
and one from a temp
service downtown.

55
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,030
So far, they've all said no.

56
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,970
Except the man
from the temp service.

57
00:02:09,971 --> 00:02:11,290
Oh, what did he say?

58
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,690
That he'd rather edit plastic surgery
manuals than work with Beverly Wilcox.

59
00:02:14,970 --> 00:02:15,170
Ugh.

60
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,670
Beverly Wilcox has millions of
devoted readers all over the world.

61
00:02:20,195 --> 00:02:22,730
Every time she exhales,
she hits the bestseller list.

62
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:24,986
It's not like an editor would
actually have to do anything.

63
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:26,570
Why can't I find one
for her next book?

64
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,496
You really want
me to answer that?

65
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,710
I certainly do not.

66
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,170
So, you're giving up?

67
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:33,950
No.

68
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:35,470
I have an idea.

69
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:43,150
Okay.

70
00:02:43,151 --> 00:02:44,530
Oh, thank you.

71
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:45,770
Hi!

72
00:02:46,190 --> 00:02:46,270
Here you go.

73
00:02:46,650 --> 00:02:48,250
Here you go.

74
00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:50,910
Here you go.

75
00:02:50,911 --> 00:02:51,970
Here you go.

76
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Well, this is new.

77
00:02:53,190 --> 00:02:54,190
I feel new.

78
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:57,570
So, how was your day?

79
00:02:58,130 --> 00:03:02,450
Uh, you know, trying to make
sense out of words, trying to fix things.

80
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:03,870
Trying to change the world.

81
00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:05,110
Not every day.

82
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:08,410
Well, I ordered us
the usual and a Merlot.

83
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:10,670
Merlot?

84
00:03:10,930 --> 00:03:12,290
I thought you
didn't like Merlot.

85
00:03:12,291 --> 00:03:14,251
There are a lot of things
I thought I didn't like.

86
00:03:14,410 --> 00:03:16,446
I'm learning something
new about myself all the time.

87
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:17,470
You know?

88
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:18,430
Sure.

89
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:18,890
Yeah.

90
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:21,370
How about I propose a toast?

91
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:22,750
Okay.

92
00:03:23,090 --> 00:03:24,090
What should we drink to?

93
00:03:24,370 --> 00:03:24,810
Okay.

94
00:03:24,850 --> 00:03:26,170
How about your new promotion?

95
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:27,470
Great.

96
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:28,910
Here's to the promotion.

97
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:31,630
I turned it down.

98
00:03:33,770 --> 00:03:34,770
Why?

99
00:03:38,850 --> 00:03:40,750
I was walking to work today.

100
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:46,230
And I saw all these miserable
guys in their suits and shoes.

101
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:51,530
And I thought, hey, Josh, is that
what you want to do with your life?

102
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:54,550
Do you really want
all this responsibility?

103
00:03:56,290 --> 00:03:58,070
You mean like a job?

104
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:01,530
A job, a mortgage, a belt.

105
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:07,810
So I decided what I really need to
do with my life is go to Machu Picchu.

106
00:04:09,490 --> 00:04:10,490
Like, um...

107
00:04:11,470 --> 00:04:12,470
Peru?

108
00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:13,670
Exactly.

109
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,170
I want to listen to the Earth.

110
00:04:17,830 --> 00:04:19,650
And what do you
think it's going to say?

111
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:22,470
I don't know.

112
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:25,070
Oh.

113
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:27,070
Okay, wait a second.

114
00:04:27,170 --> 00:04:28,170
Wait, wait, wait.

115
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:30,030
What about us?

116
00:04:30,130 --> 00:04:31,130
Hmm?

117
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:35,930
Because you said you had something really
important you wanted to ask me tonight.

118
00:04:36,870 --> 00:04:38,106
We've been together
for six months now.

119
00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:38,230
Yeah.

120
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:40,230
Six of the happiest
months of my life.

121
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:40,430
Yeah.

122
00:04:40,450 --> 00:04:42,190
You mean the world to me.

123
00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:47,613
So I want to ask you, right
here, right now, Natalie Holland,

124
00:04:47,614 --> 00:04:51,250
would you do me the honor
of subletting my apartment?

125
00:04:53,025 --> 00:04:55,610
It's just such a great place
and I don't want to give it up.

126
00:04:55,770 --> 00:04:57,810
And I'm going to be
gone for probably a year.

127
00:04:57,970 --> 00:05:00,090
So what do you think?

128
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:08,500
Happy listening.

129
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:13,550
Avery.

130
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:15,850
Natalie, sweetie, how are you?

131
00:05:16,030 --> 00:05:16,690
I'm good.

132
00:05:16,691 --> 00:05:17,691
I'm real...

133
00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:19,590
How are things in L.A.?

134
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:20,980
That's kind of why I'm calling.

135
00:05:22,545 --> 00:05:25,130
How would you like to become
a full-time editor at my company?

136
00:05:25,310 --> 00:05:25,710
Oh, gosh.

137
00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:27,030
I don't know what to say.

138
00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:30,370
It's a very kind offer.

139
00:05:32,345 --> 00:05:33,986
Well, I mean, I can't
just pick up and move.

140
00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:35,010
I've got a lot going on.

141
00:05:35,090 --> 00:05:36,750
I mean, I've got...

142
00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:40,450
Well, I've got...

143
00:05:42,630 --> 00:05:43,630
I'll be there tomorrow.

144
00:05:43,910 --> 00:05:44,910
Okay.

145
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,600
Bye.

146
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Bye.

147
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:06,250
Natalie?

148
00:06:07,250 --> 00:06:08,250
Oh.

149
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:10,870
Hi!

150
00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:12,570
I'm Isabelle, Avery's assistant.

151
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:13,230
Hi.

152
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:15,451
How did you know I
was... From Portland?

153
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:19,610
Um... Lucky guess.

154
00:06:19,810 --> 00:06:20,810
Let's get your luggage.

155
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,360
So how long have
you worked for Avery?

156
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,100
Long enough to
know why you're here.

157
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:36,860
I'm sorry?

158
00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:38,060
Oh.

159
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,780
Um... I mean, Avery
speaks very highly of you.

160
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:43,620
She's looking forward
to having you with us.

161
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,040
Look,

162
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
let me give you a little
advice off the record.

163
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,120
Los Angeles isn't Portland.

164
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,490
If you're going to make it
here, you're going to need

165
00:06:58,491 --> 00:07:01,120
to learn that what you see
isn't always what you get.

166
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,440
I'm not sure I follow.

167
00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:05,440
Remember, King
Kong was only 3'6".

168
00:07:12,610 --> 00:07:13,610
You're here!

169
00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:16,590
Oh, so good to see you.

170
00:07:16,910 --> 00:07:18,390
Oh, I've missed you.

171
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:18,870
Come on in.

172
00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:19,350
Thanks.

173
00:07:19,630 --> 00:07:20,730
Let's get her bags inside.

174
00:07:21,330 --> 00:07:22,330
Ben!

175
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,510
Hey, she made it!

176
00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:24,150
Yeah!

177
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:24,650
Hey!

178
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:26,570
Oh, you look great!

179
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:28,210
Oh, thanks.

180
00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:29,750
We've missed you around here.

181
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:31,110
How long's it been?

182
00:07:31,310 --> 00:07:31,990
Three years.

183
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:32,930
Since our wedding, honey.

184
00:07:33,050 --> 00:07:33,530
Is that right?

185
00:07:33,770 --> 00:07:33,990
Mm-hmm.

186
00:07:34,470 --> 00:07:35,690
Well, it's true what they say.

187
00:07:36,190 --> 00:07:37,750
Time flies when
you're happily married.

188
00:07:38,685 --> 00:07:39,725
See why I keep him around?

189
00:07:39,970 --> 00:07:40,390
Yes.

190
00:07:40,690 --> 00:07:41,690
Oh.

191
00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:43,490
Dinner's almost ready.

192
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:44,700
I'm cooking.

193
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,926
Can I get you a glass of wine?

194
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:46,950
What do you have?

195
00:07:50,550 --> 00:07:51,550
Anything but Merlot.

196
00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:55,350
Machu Picchu?

197
00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:56,410
Really?

198
00:07:56,530 --> 00:07:57,530
Yep.

199
00:07:57,725 --> 00:07:58,805
Sure know how to pick them.

200
00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:00,470
That's a problem, sweetie.

201
00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:01,550
You don't.

202
00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:03,250
Ouch.

203
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,360
I'm sorry.

204
00:08:04,590 --> 00:08:05,590
It's true.

205
00:08:06,270 --> 00:08:07,849
When I was your
boss back in Portland, I

206
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:09,750
watched you go after
the same type every time.

207
00:08:10,340 --> 00:08:13,470
Good-looking, fun to be
around, but with no real future.

208
00:08:14,030 --> 00:08:15,350
Or even plans of having one.

209
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,680
Is this the on-paper speech?

210
00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:21,070
What's that?

211
00:08:21,071 --> 00:08:24,450
Oh, my wife is famous among our
single friends for her dating theories.

212
00:08:25,135 --> 00:08:26,850
She believes you
can't follow your heart.

213
00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:28,530
You have to follow your head.

214
00:08:29,125 --> 00:08:32,150
I just happen to believe that before you
get romantically involved with someone

215
00:08:32,151 --> 00:08:35,170
that you should take a look at all
his attributes, his goals, his ambitions,

216
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:37,390
how seriously he takes
his responsibilities.

217
00:08:37,930 --> 00:08:40,631
In other words, the guy you're dating
can't just look good in a pair of jeans.

218
00:08:40,655 --> 00:08:41,895
He's got to look good on paper.

219
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:43,350
It worked for me.

220
00:08:45,740 --> 00:08:46,940
Flattery will get you dessert.

221
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,730
Okay, so what do I do?

222
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,406
Well, you've already
taken the first step.

223
00:08:54,430 --> 00:08:55,430
You're here.

224
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,410
LA is where people come
to reinvent themselves.

225
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,720
You can leave all your
old bad habits behind

226
00:09:02,721 --> 00:09:06,071
and start over with a
new life and a new job.

227
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:06,970
Yes.

228
00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:08,110
I can't wait.

229
00:09:08,190 --> 00:09:09,670
Tell me, what is
my first project?

230
00:09:10,030 --> 00:09:11,490
Besides finding
my own apartment.

231
00:09:13,050 --> 00:09:14,310
It's such a lovely night.

232
00:09:14,370 --> 00:09:15,370
Let's not talk shop.

233
00:09:15,430 --> 00:09:16,430
Okay.

234
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:14,580
Okay.

235
00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:16,210
Oh my gosh.

236
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Oh my gosh.

237
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,120
I'm so, so sorry.

238
00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:20,796
I didn't know you
were back there.

239
00:10:20,820 --> 00:10:22,320
Let me help you with this.

240
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:26,180
Oh my gosh.

241
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,200
I'm so sorry.

242
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,320
What is that?

243
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:29,596
Mint mocha with
a little caramel?

244
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:30,280
Here, come on.

245
00:10:30,281 --> 00:10:30,500
Get up.

246
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Get up.

247
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:32,520
It's okay.

248
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,580
I got it.

249
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:35,660
Let me, let me,
let me just wait.

250
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,420
It's fine.

251
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:37,560
Okay.

252
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,680
Oh.

253
00:10:38,860 --> 00:10:39,920
Found all these addresses.

254
00:10:40,980 --> 00:10:41,520
It's funny.

255
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,440
You don't strike me as
a door-to-door salesman.

256
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:44,020
Thanks.

257
00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:45,260
Trying to find an apartment.

258
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:45,940
You joking?

259
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,060
I wish I was.

260
00:10:47,061 --> 00:10:48,516
I've been all over the city
and I can't find anything.

261
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:50,800
I just want like a nice clean
one bedroom, you know?

262
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,100
Like this?

263
00:10:54,930 --> 00:10:55,930
Oh.

264
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:57,250
You want to take a look?

265
00:10:57,330 --> 00:10:58,330
Would you mind?

266
00:10:58,390 --> 00:10:59,130
On one condition.

267
00:10:59,250 --> 00:10:59,890
We introduce ourselves.

268
00:11:00,170 --> 00:11:01,170
I'm Coop.

269
00:11:02,350 --> 00:11:03,350
Coop.

270
00:11:03,950 --> 00:11:04,310
Cooper.

271
00:11:04,311 --> 00:11:05,050
And you are?

272
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:06,330
Uh, Natalie.

273
00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:07,570
Natalie Holland.

274
00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:08,910
You're not from LA, are you?

275
00:11:08,911 --> 00:11:10,030
How'd you know that?

276
00:11:11,430 --> 00:11:12,430
Lucky guess.

277
00:11:17,290 --> 00:11:18,550
So, the paint's new.

278
00:11:18,940 --> 00:11:19,940
You pay gas and electric.

279
00:11:20,170 --> 00:11:21,170
Water's included.

280
00:11:22,170 --> 00:11:23,170
Building's pretty quiet.

281
00:11:23,370 --> 00:11:25,510
Uh, I live on-site if
you need anything.

282
00:11:25,970 --> 00:11:28,050
And rent's pretty
decent for the area.

283
00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:29,190
Yeah, it is.

284
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:29,750
What's the catch?

285
00:11:30,050 --> 00:11:30,330
No catch.

286
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:31,670
Landler's just a cool guy.

287
00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:32,290
Okay.

288
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:33,130
I love it.

289
00:11:33,190 --> 00:11:33,670
What should I fill out?

290
00:11:33,910 --> 00:11:34,430
You got a job?

291
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:35,110
I do.

292
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:37,470
I am a book editor for
Goldstein Publishing.

293
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:37,950
You quiet?

294
00:11:38,150 --> 00:11:39,150
I'm a book editor.

295
00:11:39,210 --> 00:11:39,470
You single?

296
00:11:40,005 --> 00:11:41,246
I think asking
me that's illegal.

297
00:11:41,270 --> 00:11:41,410
What?

298
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:41,970
Okay.

299
00:11:42,090 --> 00:11:42,610
I'll say yes.

300
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:43,910
So, what about you?

301
00:11:44,010 --> 00:11:46,030
Is this your full-time job?

302
00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:47,990
Of course not.

303
00:11:50,070 --> 00:11:51,190
What do you do for a living?

304
00:11:51,290 --> 00:11:51,510
Oh.

305
00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:53,750
Well, this, but not full-time.

306
00:11:54,350 --> 00:11:55,350
Cuts into my surfing.

307
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:57,710
Of course.

308
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:03,910
I'd appreciate it if you didn't deposit
the check till later tonight, because I

309
00:12:03,911 --> 00:12:05,631
just need to move some
funds for my savings.

310
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:07,430
That shouldn't be a problem.

311
00:12:07,431 --> 00:12:08,431
Just let me know.

312
00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:10,090
Is that okay with the landlord?

313
00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:11,150
Yeah.

314
00:12:11,610 --> 00:12:12,610
Gives me some leeway.

315
00:12:13,450 --> 00:12:13,850
Okay.

316
00:12:14,430 --> 00:12:15,470
Thank you again, Coop.

317
00:12:15,730 --> 00:12:16,770
It's my pleasure, Natalie.

318
00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:18,810
I'll see you around.

319
00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:19,890
Okay.

320
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,438
By the way, if you're
going to be staying in

321
00:12:22,439 --> 00:12:25,631
L.A., you might want
to rethink that sweater.

322
00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:39,950
Good morning, everybody.

323
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,760
You have come a
long way from Portland.

324
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:49,860
So have you.

325
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,160
This way.

326
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,120
I have an office.

327
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,640
I have a whole office.

328
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,740
And right over there is your very first
assignment at Goldstein Publishing.

329
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:05,300
Wow.

330
00:13:05,301 --> 00:13:07,280
Avery, I don't... Avery!

331
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:08,300
Oh!

332
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Morning, Natalie.

333
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:10,960
You're here.

334
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:11,940
Of course she is.

335
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,140
She's starting work today.

336
00:13:14,540 --> 00:13:16,740
Avery, can I speak
with you for a moment?

337
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:17,520
Can it wait?

338
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,740
We were just about to
discuss Natalie's first project.

339
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,000
Already?

340
00:13:24,001 --> 00:13:25,001
Mm-hmm.

341
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,576
Natalie, will you excuse
us for just a moment?

342
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Okay.

343
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,000
I thought she wasn't
coming until noon.

344
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:32,260
I guess she changed her mind.

345
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,220
Let's go, people!

346
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,400
Let's go!

347
00:13:58,980 --> 00:13:59,980
Beverly Wilcox?

348
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:02,460
You're kidding!

349
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,440
Everyone to the elevator!

350
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,560
Move it!

351
00:14:05,180 --> 00:14:06,180
Beverly,

352
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:18,070
what a wonderful surprise!

353
00:14:24,950 --> 00:14:26,430
I'm so excited for
you to meet her.

354
00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:27,010
Avery, hi.

355
00:14:27,230 --> 00:14:28,496
May I speak with
you for a moment?

356
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,071
Natalie, we were
just talking about you.

357
00:14:30,095 --> 00:14:31,490
Um, yeah, about the manuscript.

358
00:14:32,035 --> 00:14:33,130
I'm so glad you like it.

359
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:35,220
Please meet the
author, Beverly Wilcox.

360
00:14:36,355 --> 00:14:37,790
Beverly, this is
Natalie Holland.

361
00:14:38,325 --> 00:14:39,805
We'd like her to
be your next editor.

362
00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:43,490
Where's my champagne?

363
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:46,990
Yeah.

364
00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:49,370
Hmm.

365
00:14:49,371 --> 00:14:50,371
Isn't she lovely?

366
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,630
One of all people,
Beverly Wilcox?

367
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:57,226
You could have said something to
me about this before I left Portland.

368
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:57,630
I know.

369
00:14:57,820 --> 00:14:58,820
I'm sorry.

370
00:14:58,850 --> 00:14:59,850
I wanted you here.

371
00:15:01,185 --> 00:15:03,153
I was afraid if I told
you why, given how you

372
00:15:03,193 --> 00:15:04,830
feel about her work, you
probably wouldn't come.

373
00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:05,730
You're probably right.

374
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:06,990
Look at it this way.

375
00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:12,610
It's an opportunity for you to move up
from assistant to full-time editor and to

376
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:14,371
work for an international
bestselling author.

377
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,150
What about the editor
she used on her last book?

378
00:15:16,151 --> 00:15:16,950
Why aren't you using him?

379
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:18,090
Mr. Fell.

380
00:15:18,635 --> 00:15:22,530
After he and Beverly finished,
he left the publishing industry.

381
00:15:22,830 --> 00:15:23,890
So there's nobody else?

382
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:25,770
Nobody I can afford
to take a chance with.

383
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:28,940
I'm mortgaged to the
ceiling with this place, Nat.

384
00:15:29,375 --> 00:15:30,510
I really need your help.

385
00:15:31,210 --> 00:15:33,650
Look, she has lunch
at Crawford's every day.

386
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:35,110
Just go meet with her.

387
00:15:35,230 --> 00:15:36,550
What's the worst
that can happen?

388
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:48,410
And here we are for you.

389
00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:50,470
And Miss Wilcox.

390
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:53,230
Excuse me.

391
00:15:53,555 --> 00:15:58,070
I asked for the baby tomato to be
placed under the aioli mayonnaise.

392
00:15:58,370 --> 00:15:59,010
Not on top.

393
00:15:59,150 --> 00:15:59,290
Well...

394
00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:03,110
Why is it so difficult for you service
people to follow simple instructions?

395
00:16:03,630 --> 00:16:04,390
No, no, no.

396
00:16:04,430 --> 00:16:04,730
No, no.

397
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:05,390
Just leave it.

398
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:07,110
It took you so long
to bring us lunch.

399
00:16:07,150 --> 00:16:08,826
I'm afraid I wouldn't see
you again till breakfast.

400
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:09,850
Just go.

401
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:17,510
What a comfort it must be to not
worry about how one appears to others.

402
00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:20,190
Bon appetit.

403
00:16:20,450 --> 00:16:21,490
Thank you.

404
00:16:21,491 --> 00:16:21,830
You too.

405
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,160
So you're from Portland?

406
00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:24,770
Mm-hmm.

407
00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:26,350
I was there once on a book tour.

408
00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:28,450
I rode the cable cars.

409
00:16:28,590 --> 00:16:29,590
It was just wonderful.

410
00:16:29,770 --> 00:16:31,450
I think that might have
been San Francisco.

411
00:16:31,550 --> 00:16:34,630
I always get those little
cities in the north confused.

412
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:36,350
Tell me, Nadine.

413
00:16:36,570 --> 00:16:37,010
Natalie.

414
00:16:37,410 --> 00:16:38,410
Yes.

415
00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:40,150
Which of my books
is your favorite?

416
00:16:41,170 --> 00:16:43,010
It's an unfair question, I know.

417
00:16:43,130 --> 00:16:45,090
But if you had to choose...

418
00:16:45,550 --> 00:16:46,550
Um...

419
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:51,250
Embrace of Passion.

420
00:16:51,370 --> 00:16:51,890
Oh.

421
00:16:52,165 --> 00:16:53,810
And what was your favorite part?

422
00:16:54,250 --> 00:16:55,290
My favorite part?

423
00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:55,970
Oh.

424
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:56,910
Really?

425
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:01,522
My favorite part was
when she realized that he

426
00:17:01,523 --> 00:17:05,450
was meant to be with
her all along, in the end.

427
00:17:05,570 --> 00:17:06,570
In love.

428
00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:08,830
You mean until she died?

429
00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:11,010
Yup.

430
00:17:11,290 --> 00:17:12,290
Until that part.

431
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,610
You just think I'm
ridiculous, don't you?

432
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:15,250
I'm sorry?

433
00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:15,950
No, no, no.

434
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:16,510
You know, it's quite all right.

435
00:17:16,530 --> 00:17:17,986
I'm used to it after
all these years.

436
00:17:18,010 --> 00:17:19,630
I've met a lot of
people like you.

437
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:23,490
English literature degree, probably, all
paid for by mommy and daddy, of course.

438
00:17:23,810 --> 00:17:27,210
You dress like this because you think it
makes people take you more seriously,

439
00:17:27,230 --> 00:17:31,090
but, in fact, all it does is make them
wonder what thrift store you work at.

440
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:35,610
So while you may feel free to sit
in judgment on me and my readers,

441
00:17:35,870 --> 00:17:38,410
you've probably never read
a single word I've ever written.

442
00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:42,690
In fact, you think I have absolutely no
talent whatsoever and that the kind of

443
00:17:42,691 --> 00:17:45,510
writing I do is nothing
but frivolous nonsense.

444
00:17:45,970 --> 00:17:48,257
And you wonder why
anyone in their right mind

445
00:17:48,258 --> 00:17:50,570
would spend so much as
a dime on one of my books.

446
00:17:50,690 --> 00:17:51,150
Is that about it?

447
00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:51,890
Not quite.

448
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,840
My parents didn't
pay for my education.

449
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:58,971
They were too busy buying silly things like
food and clothes for their five children.

450
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,190
Let me ask you a question, something
I've always wanted to know about editors.

451
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,350
Do writers make you jealous?

452
00:18:06,620 --> 00:18:07,630
Only the good ones.

453
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:11,970
Good luck with the book.

454
00:18:13,755 --> 00:18:15,430
Oh, keep the receipt for lunch?

455
00:18:15,970 --> 00:18:16,970
It's on Avery.

456
00:18:18,475 --> 00:18:19,475
Thank you very much.

457
00:18:19,710 --> 00:18:23,250
What are you standing there for?

458
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:24,310
Bring me more champagne.

459
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:37,540
Hi, Avery.

460
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:39,000
What did you say to her?

461
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,620
I'm sorry, I told you this
was a really bad idea.

462
00:18:43,045 --> 00:18:44,045
Bad idea?

463
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:44,760
Are you kidding?

464
00:18:45,150 --> 00:18:46,150
She loved you.

465
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:46,660
What?

466
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:48,000
She just called me.

467
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:49,998
She told me if I didn't
put you on her book, she

468
00:18:49,999 --> 00:18:52,521
was going to take her
next three somewhere else.

469
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:54,260
This is unbelievable.

470
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:56,520
Well, you better
start believing.

471
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,080
You've got 30 days to
deliver Desire's Love Unbound.

472
00:19:00,260 --> 00:19:01,260
Good luck.

473
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,900
I thought I saw a chair
walking down the hallway.

474
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,360
Oh, thank you.

475
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,340
Thank you so much.

476
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:17,940
Can we just put it
over there, please?

477
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Yeah, yeah.

478
00:19:20,380 --> 00:19:21,380
Nope, nope, over there.

479
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:22,500
Yep, that's good.

480
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,840
No, no, maybe
over there is good.

481
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:25,720
Okay.

482
00:19:25,721 --> 00:19:26,721
Okay.

483
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,880
How about right here?

484
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:31,780
That's perfect.

485
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,080
Yeah.

486
00:19:33,820 --> 00:19:34,820
What do you think?

487
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:37,500
Yeah.

488
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:39,100
Yeah, it looks good.

489
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:42,760
Oh, lease papers
from the landlord.

490
00:19:43,740 --> 00:19:45,900
Congratulations, you're
almost a bona fide Californian.

491
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Almost?

492
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,200
Oh, you didn't know?

493
00:19:49,660 --> 00:19:51,015
Well, before it's
official, you have to have

494
00:19:51,016 --> 00:19:52,400
dinner at the best
burger joint in the city.

495
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,640
And where would that be?

496
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:54,100
What?

497
00:19:54,101 --> 00:19:56,480
You mean Nikki's Grill
wasn't in your Welcome to L.A.

498
00:19:56,540 --> 00:19:57,540
handbook?

499
00:19:58,250 --> 00:19:59,516
Must have skipped
over that part.

500
00:19:59,540 --> 00:20:02,980
Well, fortunately for you, I happen to
know the exact location and am available

501
00:20:02,981 --> 00:20:04,760
to help you complete
your residency program.

502
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,280
How about tonight?

503
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,440
Tonight?

504
00:20:07,835 --> 00:20:08,915
Unless you got other plans.

505
00:20:09,890 --> 00:20:10,970
Like maybe a book deadline?

506
00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:12,820
Avery!

507
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,160
Hey.

508
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,240
Coop.

509
00:20:16,380 --> 00:20:17,400
Avery, Avery, Coop.

510
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,140
This is one of my best
friends and my boss.

511
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,840
Boss?

512
00:20:22,540 --> 00:20:22,980
Deadline.

513
00:20:22,981 --> 00:20:23,080
Deadline.

514
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,440
Got it.

515
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:25,660
Rain check?

516
00:20:26,165 --> 00:20:27,405
It was nice to meet you, Avery.

517
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,440
And you.

518
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:29,640
Thank you for helping.

519
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,800
Anytime.

520
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,320
Isn't he cute?

521
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:35,820
Adorable.

522
00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:38,576
Yeah, I think he works maintenance
or something in the building.

523
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,280
I met him the first
day I found the place.

524
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:41,940
And you're already
making dinner plans?

525
00:20:42,460 --> 00:20:43,260
Hardly dinner.

526
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:44,420
It's just a burger.

527
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Natalie, what did I tell
you about guys like him?

528
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:49,236
You told me to find
somebody with responsibility.

529
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:50,000
But you know what?

530
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,660
He takes his job very seriously.

531
00:20:52,420 --> 00:20:53,720
He's also a handyman.

532
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:55,040
He's not just a handyman.

533
00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:56,260
He also serves.

534
00:20:56,580 --> 00:20:57,580
Hmm.

535
00:20:58,010 --> 00:21:00,200
Look, just promise me
you won't do anything rash.

536
00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:02,380
At least before you
finish Beverly's book.

537
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Damn.

538
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:04,900
All right.

539
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:06,336
I'm gonna put
this in some water.

540
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:07,360
Natalie, it's a cactus.

541
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,200
Hey.

542
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,800
Any of that pie left?

543
00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:14,940
SomebodyDateMe.com.

544
00:21:16,030 --> 00:21:17,590
Is there something
you want to tell me?

545
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:18,020
No.

546
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:19,140
Not particularly.

547
00:21:19,745 --> 00:21:23,000
Well, if you're looking for a match for
me, put down that I like redheads that

548
00:21:23,001 --> 00:21:24,801
like to meddle in their
employees' love lives.

549
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:25,200
Hey!

550
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:26,960
I am not meddling.

551
00:21:27,140 --> 00:21:28,140
I'm...

552
00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:29,740
I'm just trying to help.

553
00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:31,430
Have you ever considered...

554
00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:35,700
the way to help Natalie the
most is just let her live her life?

555
00:21:36,570 --> 00:21:38,380
Let her make her
own dating decisions?

556
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,200
But she's been terrible at it.

557
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,156
You remember the guy
she dated back in Portland?

558
00:21:42,180 --> 00:21:45,140
What about the one with the wispy
mustache and the scary leprechaun tattoo?

559
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,240
Oh, I like that guy.

560
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,940
If you're looking to keep in touch,
he's doing seven to ten years at the state

561
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:51,240
prison for smuggling exotic
reptiles into the country.

562
00:21:51,241 --> 00:21:52,180
So... Ooh.

563
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:53,640
At least he's original.

564
00:21:55,530 --> 00:21:57,818
I'm just trying to find
someone for Natalie who

565
00:21:57,819 --> 00:21:59,780
brings something to the
relationship, you know?

566
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Somebody who really brings
something to the table with her.

567
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:03,780
Let me ask you a question.

568
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:05,420
Were you this picky
when we first met?

569
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,800
That's not a fair question.

570
00:22:06,990 --> 00:22:07,740
No, I think it is.

571
00:22:07,780 --> 00:22:09,920
Are you saying you wouldn't have
been interested in me if I was working at a

572
00:22:09,921 --> 00:22:12,740
fast food joint or at a dollar store
as opposed to being a stockbroker?

573
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:14,360
Of course I would have.

574
00:22:14,420 --> 00:22:15,700
I was in love with you.

575
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:17,100
You were in love with me.

576
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,020
Well, let's not push off.

577
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,080
All right.

578
00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:22,460
Just

579
00:23:00,510 --> 00:23:01,990
checking to see if
everything's okay.

580
00:23:02,110 --> 00:23:02,410
Sorry.

581
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:04,810
Sorry, these games
just get a little heated.

582
00:23:04,930 --> 00:23:07,030
Yeah, especially
since he's losing.

583
00:23:07,810 --> 00:23:09,790
Natalie Holland,
meet Eli Jackson.

584
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:11,710
Eli, Miss Holland.

585
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:12,170
Hello, Eli.

586
00:23:12,310 --> 00:23:12,710
Hey.

587
00:23:13,250 --> 00:23:14,490
Is that how you talk to a lady?

588
00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:16,270
Sorry.

589
00:23:17,390 --> 00:23:18,390
Hey, Miss Holland.

590
00:23:18,970 --> 00:23:19,970
Pleasure to meet you.

591
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:21,290
Miss Holland's an editor.

592
00:23:21,430 --> 00:23:22,550
She's working on a new book.

593
00:23:23,410 --> 00:23:24,410
Oh.

594
00:23:24,850 --> 00:23:25,290
Really?

595
00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:26,630
Oh.

596
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:28,210
You don't like books, huh?

597
00:23:29,170 --> 00:23:29,610
Movies.

598
00:23:29,650 --> 00:23:29,910
Oh.

599
00:23:30,110 --> 00:23:30,490
Like what?

600
00:23:30,970 --> 00:23:31,970
Oh, sci-fi.

601
00:23:32,285 --> 00:23:34,290
You know, aliens,
spaceships, stuff like that.

602
00:23:34,490 --> 00:23:36,970
Do you know where the ideas for
most of those movies come from?

603
00:23:38,030 --> 00:23:38,470
Books.

604
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:41,830
Great writers like Ray
Bradbury, Arthur C.

605
00:23:41,890 --> 00:23:42,230
Clarke.

606
00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:44,830
If you like science fiction,
you should read those.

607
00:23:45,090 --> 00:23:46,090
You know what?

608
00:23:46,750 --> 00:23:48,110
Why don't I give
a couple to Coop?

609
00:23:48,150 --> 00:23:49,150
You can read them.

610
00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:50,190
Tell me what you think.

611
00:23:51,370 --> 00:23:52,370
I guess so.

612
00:23:52,910 --> 00:23:53,910
All right, boys.

613
00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:54,990
Enjoy your night.

614
00:23:57,230 --> 00:23:58,230
Good night, Natalie.

615
00:24:01,970 --> 00:24:02,970
What's wrong with you?

616
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Good night, Natalie.

617
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:08,430
Hey.

618
00:24:13,340 --> 00:24:13,780
Here.

619
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Where have you been?

620
00:24:15,090 --> 00:24:15,900
What do you mean?

621
00:24:16,060 --> 00:24:16,720
It's not even 9 o'clock.

622
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,160
Well, she's been here since 8.

623
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,920
Oh.

624
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,720
Oh.

625
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:23,600
Good morning, Beverly.

626
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Morning.

627
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Or practically afternoon.

628
00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:28,400
I've already been to Pilates.

629
00:24:28,401 --> 00:24:28,780
Oh.

630
00:24:28,781 --> 00:24:30,941
And had a half-hour session
with my holistic therapist.

631
00:24:31,455 --> 00:24:32,500
And had a juice cleanse.

632
00:24:33,020 --> 00:24:35,720
And you look like you're still
dressed in what you wore to bed.

633
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,480
I'm sorry.

634
00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:39,460
Did we have an appointment
that I forgot about?

635
00:24:40,180 --> 00:24:41,220
Natalie, you're my editor.

636
00:24:41,260 --> 00:24:45,240
I expect you to be on call 24
hours a day until my book is finished.

637
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:48,560
Now, these are my notes.

638
00:24:49,050 --> 00:24:51,480
And here is my list of everything
we need to get done today.

639
00:24:52,260 --> 00:24:52,700
Okay.

640
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:53,860
Make lunch reservations.

641
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,040
Book pedicure appointment.

642
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:57,140
Complete questionnaire
for Vanity Fair magazine.

643
00:24:57,380 --> 00:24:57,460
Oh.

644
00:24:57,461 --> 00:24:58,320
I almost forgot.

645
00:24:58,460 --> 00:25:00,140
I also need you to
pick up my dry cleaning.

646
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:03,080
I think we're going to need to come to some
kind of understanding about boundaries.

647
00:25:03,580 --> 00:25:04,920
I absolutely agree.

648
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:05,380
You do?

649
00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:06,280
Oh, yes.

650
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:08,040
And that's why I got you this.

651
00:25:08,730 --> 00:25:13,580
Now, instead of using your personal phone,
I have a direct line to you so I can reach

652
00:25:13,581 --> 00:25:17,407
you any time of day
or night with an idea, a

653
00:25:17,408 --> 00:25:21,060
notion, or even a creative
whim about my book.

654
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:21,780
Okay.

655
00:25:22,340 --> 00:25:23,340
Okay.

656
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,520
Oh, and don't
forget about tonight.

657
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,720
Tonight?

658
00:25:28,370 --> 00:25:29,460
Didn't Isabel tell you?

659
00:25:29,785 --> 00:25:32,040
It's the Bookbinder's
annual charity event.

660
00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:33,330
I beg your pardon?

661
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:35,220
I've already RSVP'd for us both.

662
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:36,500
Both?

663
00:25:37,150 --> 00:25:38,180
Don't be obtuse, Natalie.

664
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,380
Of course you're going with me.

665
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,360
This cause is very near
and dear to my heart.

666
00:25:44,180 --> 00:25:48,116
We raise public awareness
about the plight of unemployed

667
00:25:48,117 --> 00:25:50,741
bookbinders in the age
of the digital download.

668
00:25:51,010 --> 00:25:52,300
It's a cultural disaster.

669
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,220
Of course.

670
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,440
Okay.

671
00:25:54,500 --> 00:25:55,500
Forgotten.

672
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,540
Don't be sarcastic, Natalie.

673
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,080
It's giving you those ugly little
worry lines around your mouth.

674
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,716
It's just that we
have a deadline.

675
00:26:03,740 --> 00:26:05,336
I don't think I should be
taking time away from the book.

676
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:06,880
But this is about
the book, my dear.

677
00:26:07,195 --> 00:26:11,640
Our appearance at this event, author and
editor together, will generate excitement

678
00:26:11,641 --> 00:26:14,420
about Desire's Love Unbound
before it even gets to the printers.

679
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,995
Didn't they teach you
anything about publicity

680
00:26:16,996 --> 00:26:18,840
at that little red
schoolhouse of yours?

681
00:26:19,300 --> 00:26:21,960
Ah, well, Isabel has
all the information.

682
00:26:21,961 --> 00:26:24,060
The car will pick
you up at 7 sharp.

683
00:26:24,210 --> 00:26:29,620
And if you happen to find the light switch
in your closet, I'd suggest using it.

684
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:30,980
It's a cocktail party, my dear.

685
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,840
Not a convention of lumberjacks.

686
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:39,700
She's a monster.

687
00:26:39,805 --> 00:26:41,325
I assume you're
talking about Beverly?

688
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,100
I mean, not only am I supposed to edit
her book, but she wants me to run errands.

689
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:45,040
She wants me to fetch things.

690
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,071
She wants me to carry this thing around
24-7 so I can be at her beck and call.

691
00:26:48,095 --> 00:26:49,920
She's just trying to
include you in her life.

692
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,400
It's part of her
creative process.

693
00:26:51,625 --> 00:26:54,505
And does that include having to go
to some boring charity cocktail party?

694
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,680
Charity?

695
00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:56,990
Not the Bookbinders Foundation.

696
00:26:57,705 --> 00:26:58,745
I didn't want to tell you.

697
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,800
I knew you'd be upset.

698
00:27:00,530 --> 00:27:02,006
How does everybody
know about this but me?

699
00:27:02,030 --> 00:27:03,906
The Bookbinders is
one of the most important

700
00:27:03,907 --> 00:27:06,421
charity events in Los
Angeles publishing.

701
00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:09,980
I've been trying to convince her to
take me to that party for five years now.

702
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:10,720
Fantastic!

703
00:27:11,220 --> 00:27:12,300
You can go instead of me.

704
00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:14,180
It's invitation only.

705
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,300
Very exclusive.

706
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:17,496
All the most important
writers in the city will be there.

707
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:18,200
You have to go.

708
00:27:18,260 --> 00:27:20,000
You have to represent
Goldstein Publishing.

709
00:27:22,170 --> 00:27:23,680
Mmm, but not like that.

710
00:27:23,860 --> 00:27:24,940
Absolutely not.

711
00:27:25,340 --> 00:27:26,640
Cancel my meetings
for the rest of the day.

712
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:28,560
Wait, where are we going?

713
00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:30,400
We have a retail emergency.

714
00:27:30,860 --> 00:27:32,056
What's wrong with
what I'm wearing?

715
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,080
It's just a party.

716
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,120
There's no such thing
as just a party in LA.

717
00:28:46,630 --> 00:28:47,630
Yay!

718
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:56,300
You're early!

719
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,600
The boss.

720
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:03,920
Who is it?

721
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:05,140
The maintenance man.

722
00:29:06,060 --> 00:29:07,060
Oh, hi Coop!

723
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,620
I was just checking on
Mrs. Wolf down the hall.

724
00:29:10,621 --> 00:29:13,120
She can't reach
the top of her fridge.

725
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:14,240
You know.

726
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,580
Anyway, I was just stopping in to
see if you had those books for Eli.

727
00:29:17,930 --> 00:29:19,610
Oh yeah, they're on
the shelf by the door.

728
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:22,420
Great.

729
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Got them.

730
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:23,960
Thanks.

731
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:24,760
Okay.

732
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,600
Well, Natalie is very busy.

733
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Thank you for stopping by.

734
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:29,836
She has a very important
social engagement this evening.

735
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:30,580
Okay, thanks again.

736
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Bye-bye.

737
00:29:32,420 --> 00:29:33,420
Natalie!

738
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,140
I thought we agreed that you were going to
only date men who had ambition and goals.

739
00:29:38,420 --> 00:29:40,100
Men who... I know, I know.

740
00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:41,660
Men who look good on paper.

741
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,840
Yes.

742
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,560
How am I going to
find one of those?

743
00:29:49,860 --> 00:29:52,780
You wear that dress tonight, you're
not going to have to look much longer.

744
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,440
You think it's okay?

745
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,436
I feel like I'm pretending
to be somebody else.

746
00:29:57,460 --> 00:29:57,940
It's LA.

747
00:29:58,260 --> 00:29:59,260
That's the idea.

748
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:02,380
I'm starving.

749
00:30:05,700 --> 00:30:08,220
Hello, Beverly.

750
00:30:08,221 --> 00:30:08,980
The car is here.

751
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:09,460
Where are you?

752
00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:09,800
It is.

753
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:11,380
It's downstairs.

754
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:13,700
Yeah, I'm on my way.

755
00:30:14,420 --> 00:30:15,420
I'll be down in a...

756
00:30:18,020 --> 00:30:19,700
Does she even know
it's a word goodbye?

757
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,140
Go, go, go.

758
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Have fun!

759
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Wow.

760
00:30:36,540 --> 00:30:37,760
I took your advice.

761
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Left the park at home.

762
00:30:40,420 --> 00:30:41,420
Yeah.

763
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,240
Just... hold on a second.

764
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,080
What's that for?

765
00:30:52,235 --> 00:30:53,235
I have a bad habit.

766
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,600
Every time I see a beautiful woman,
I can't help but give her a flower.

767
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,920
And how long have
you had this habit?

768
00:31:01,300 --> 00:31:02,300
Five seconds.

769
00:31:04,490 --> 00:31:05,720
Sorry, I gotta...

770
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,560
Yes, Beverly?

771
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:11,020
Oh, don't mind me.

772
00:31:11,021 --> 00:31:12,940
Just sitting in this car here.

773
00:31:13,890 --> 00:31:17,440
Please take all the time you need to
discuss gardening tips with the help.

774
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,080
Coming.

775
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,260
I'm sorry, I have to go.

776
00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:22,120
Yeah.

777
00:31:22,340 --> 00:31:23,340
This is beautiful.

778
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,640
Thank you.

779
00:31:27,020 --> 00:31:28,020
Have fun tonight.

780
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,620
Sorry.

781
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:30,960
Oh, thank you.

782
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:34,496
Well, at least you
managed to put together an

783
00:31:34,497 --> 00:31:37,121
outfit that doesn't look
as if you're going fishing.

784
00:31:38,065 --> 00:31:39,080
Is that a compliment?

785
00:31:40,780 --> 00:31:42,220
What are we waiting for?

786
00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:43,420
Drive.

787
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:45,060
Hey,

788
00:31:49,420 --> 00:31:50,080
what are you doing here?

789
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:51,260
Hey, I'm back here.

790
00:31:56,590 --> 00:31:58,563
I just sent my old
friend Natalie off to the

791
00:31:58,564 --> 00:32:00,720
Bookbinder's Foundation
with Beverly Wilcox.

792
00:32:00,950 --> 00:32:02,110
I dressed her up like an L.A.

793
00:32:02,210 --> 00:32:04,620
party girl and shipped
her off to the wolves' den.

794
00:32:05,290 --> 00:32:08,780
Well, I would remind you
that Natalie is our old friend.

795
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,893
And I'm sure you sent
her off to the Bookbinder

796
00:32:10,894 --> 00:32:13,101
thing just to keep
the battle axe happy.

797
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,600
Breaking Natalie here was
supposed to help her and me.

798
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,680
What's the problem?

799
00:32:16,950 --> 00:32:19,940
Natalie's a good editor
with strong opinions.

800
00:32:20,540 --> 00:32:22,100
Not exactly what
Beverly's looking for.

801
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,740
You always said there was a great
writer in Beverly if she had a good editor.

802
00:32:26,020 --> 00:32:28,000
I'm not sure now's the
time to test that theory.

803
00:32:29,370 --> 00:32:30,491
What are you doing, by the way?

804
00:32:30,515 --> 00:32:33,000
I am watching the ball game
and reading about pizza.

805
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,716
Is that the cookbook
from next season?

806
00:32:34,740 --> 00:32:36,076
Yeah, it's the man's
copy you brought home.

807
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:37,556
You're reading a cookbook
and watching sports?

808
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:38,860
Yeah, it's really not that hard.

809
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,660
Plus, this is a really...
it's a good book.

810
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,240
And we'll only
ship 10,000 copies.

811
00:32:43,445 --> 00:32:46,200
And meanwhile, Beverly's
book isn't even at galleys yet.

812
00:32:46,300 --> 00:32:49,920
And the phone is ringing off the hook
for hard copies and e-edition dates.

813
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:51,420
Better keep Madame
Beverly happy.

814
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,070
Even if she is
an old battle axe.

815
00:32:53,620 --> 00:32:54,620
Scoot over.

816
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,280
Who's winning?

817
00:32:59,340 --> 00:32:59,880
What?

818
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:01,180
The game.

819
00:33:02,170 --> 00:33:03,170
Oh, uh...

820
00:33:05,950 --> 00:33:06,950
L.A.?

821
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Keep reading about gluten-free.

822
00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:10,620
Yeah.

823
00:33:17,740 --> 00:33:18,860
I hope so.

824
00:33:18,861 --> 00:33:20,960
Wonderful to see you.

825
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:21,540
Yes.

826
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,360
Let's get together soon.

827
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,480
Good.

828
00:33:25,820 --> 00:33:27,680
We're not too early
and not too late.

829
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:28,920
How do you know?

830
00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:32,800
You can't see the walls,
but nobody's passed out yet.

831
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Halt!

832
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,920
Thank you.

833
00:33:36,460 --> 00:33:36,980
Here.

834
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,340
That should help.

835
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,680
I don't really like champagne.

836
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Learn.

837
00:33:45,180 --> 00:33:45,900
She's here.

838
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Here they come.

839
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,640
Smile, dear.

840
00:33:48,641 --> 00:33:50,440
People will think
you're deranged.

841
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,400
Hello, everyone.

842
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,120
Thank you so much for coming.

843
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,260
Take a step back, dear.

844
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,320
You're blocking my light.

845
00:34:00,180 --> 00:34:00,760
Oh.

846
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Excuse me.

847
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:02,660
Yes.

848
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,040
Hello.

849
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:04,240
I'm sorry.

850
00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:07,340
Natalie.

851
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:09,080
Dear.

852
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,280
Come join us.

853
00:34:12,390 --> 00:34:12,680
Sorry.

854
00:34:12,940 --> 00:34:14,660
Not this side, dear.

855
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,680
Other side.

856
00:34:16,830 --> 00:34:21,560
This is the wonderful editor of my
new book, Love's Desire Unbound.

857
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,260
Available this fall from
Goldstein Publishing.

858
00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:25,980
Miss Natalie Holland.

859
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:27,060
Hi.

860
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:28,360
She keeps me honest.

861
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,920
Tell us about yourself, Natalie.

862
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:30,460
Where are you from?

863
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:31,160
Um.

864
00:34:31,540 --> 00:34:32,540
Portland.

865
00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:33,780
Portland?

866
00:34:34,540 --> 00:34:35,060
Oregon?

867
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Ah.

868
00:34:36,180 --> 00:34:36,840
The Wetmark.

869
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:37,340
Oh, no.

870
00:34:37,380 --> 00:34:39,120
It doesn't rain that much.

871
00:34:39,121 --> 00:34:40,140
Not as much as Seattle.

872
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,560
Oh, yes.

873
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,600
Of course.

874
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,320
What was the last book you read?

875
00:34:45,321 --> 00:34:47,380
It was called
Tragedy and Triumph.

876
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,860
It's an amazing book.

877
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,400
It's a vivid account of struggle
and resilience of the human spirit.

878
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,620
Well, it's not just
a history book.

879
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:59,880
It's like an incredible journey into
the dark part of our national identity.

880
00:35:00,930 --> 00:35:06,100
But ultimately, it is a heartbreaking
reminder how every person on Earth,

881
00:35:06,220 --> 00:35:07,836
each one of us, can
really make a difference.

882
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:11,480
All we have to do is reach out to our
fellow man and say, you matter to me.

883
00:35:14,260 --> 00:35:15,360
You matter to us.

884
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Go on.

885
00:35:17,180 --> 00:35:19,320
I think I went on long enough.

886
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:35,280
I'm trying to get
out the door to work.

887
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,060
What?

888
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,380
You're taking a third job?

889
00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:37,900
No.

890
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,640
Just picking up an
extra shift at the second.

891
00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:42,380
You also got to
take care of yourself.

892
00:35:42,420 --> 00:35:43,420
My mom's a diabetic too.

893
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:45,700
Okay.

894
00:35:45,740 --> 00:35:46,940
I brought these books for Eli.

895
00:35:47,130 --> 00:35:48,130
Oh, great.

896
00:35:49,070 --> 00:35:52,000
You know, he still hasn't learned
to love reading like his mama.

897
00:35:52,310 --> 00:35:54,040
But I'm working on it.

898
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:54,540
Is he home?

899
00:35:54,730 --> 00:35:55,776
No, he's picking up dinner.

900
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,800
It's pizza night.

901
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:57,880
What else you selling?

902
00:35:57,980 --> 00:35:58,980
Nothing.

903
00:35:59,620 --> 00:36:01,380
Just some information
on the Horrocks School.

904
00:36:01,715 --> 00:36:02,715
The Horrocks School?

905
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,440
That sounds expensive.

906
00:36:04,690 --> 00:36:06,056
It's one of the top
schools in the nation.

907
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,020
I want the best for my kids, but I
could never afford something like this.

908
00:36:10,065 --> 00:36:13,580
They got financial aid, scholarships,
plus I know the dean of students.

909
00:36:13,700 --> 00:36:14,400
He's an old friend of mine.

910
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,700
I am knee-deep in applications
to charter schools for Eli now.

911
00:36:18,020 --> 00:36:19,480
Will you at least take
a look at it, please?

912
00:36:19,481 --> 00:36:20,481
I will.

913
00:36:21,170 --> 00:36:21,940
Thank you for the books.

914
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
Now, scat.

915
00:36:23,180 --> 00:36:24,180
Yes, ma'am.

916
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,880
I'll be in Nikki's
if Eli needs me.

917
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:33,920
Don't take it personally.

918
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,286
People who come to these things aren't
really interested in their fellow man.

919
00:36:37,310 --> 00:36:39,526
It's less about the social cause,
more about the social event.

920
00:36:39,550 --> 00:36:40,600
And what about you?

921
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,320
A bit of both, really.

922
00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:44,870
And it's a nice
big tax deduction.

923
00:36:45,655 --> 00:36:46,820
You need a big tax deduction?

924
00:36:47,230 --> 00:36:48,296
I'm a lawyer in Los Angeles.

925
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,320
I need plenty of them.

926
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,780
And he's Bob.

927
00:36:50,860 --> 00:36:51,860
Bob Lewis.

928
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,600
Natalie.

929
00:36:52,820 --> 00:36:53,180
Holland.

930
00:36:53,590 --> 00:36:54,820
Yes, I heard the introduction.

931
00:36:56,240 --> 00:36:58,160
How long have you been
working with Her Highness?

932
00:36:58,580 --> 00:37:02,860
Um, two weeks, three days,
and just under nine hours.

933
00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:05,596
Well, from what I hear, she
eats editors for breakfast.

934
00:37:05,620 --> 00:37:06,260
So you lasted that long.

935
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:07,616
You must be doing
something right.

936
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,600
Oh, um, can I?

937
00:37:09,660 --> 00:37:10,660
Can I?

938
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,600
New York.

939
00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:13,900
I'm sorry?

940
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,496
Oh, you were gonna
ask where I'm from.

941
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:16,520
I hope.

942
00:37:17,420 --> 00:37:18,420
Eventually.

943
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,580
Uh, I just came out on vacation.

944
00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:21,700
I never went back.

945
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Do you surf?

946
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:25,280
No.

947
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:26,756
I've never really had the time.

948
00:37:26,780 --> 00:37:29,900
I started my law firm when I first moved
out here and everything just took off.

949
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:31,940
I've got some big
plans for the future, too.

950
00:37:33,060 --> 00:37:34,060
How about you?

951
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:35,320
How about me what?

952
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:37,420
Do you surf?

953
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,920
Oh.

954
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,840
Yes, Beverly?

955
00:37:43,060 --> 00:37:44,060
We're done here.

956
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,600
I'll be waiting in the car.

957
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Oh.

958
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,420
Uh, not for too long, I hope.

959
00:37:50,595 --> 00:37:52,441
I'll be right... Thank you.

960
00:37:54,340 --> 00:37:55,360
I gotta go.

961
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Sounds like it.

962
00:37:57,230 --> 00:38:00,540
Um, well, it was nice talking
to you, Natalie from Portland.

963
00:38:01,035 --> 00:38:02,236
Hopefully we can
do it again sometime.

964
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:03,260
Maybe you have a dinner?

965
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:04,220
I'd like that.

966
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:05,440
Bob from New York.

967
00:38:05,755 --> 00:38:06,755
Can I call you tomorrow?

968
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:07,920
Okay.

969
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,080
Good.

970
00:38:09,081 --> 00:38:10,300
And I'm not the only one.

971
00:38:10,500 --> 00:38:11,500
Yeah, I'm sorry.

972
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:12,720
Good night.

973
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:16,980
Wow.

974
00:38:17,180 --> 00:38:18,380
That was incredible.

975
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:20,600
Beverly, thank you
so much for having me.

976
00:38:20,820 --> 00:38:22,480
Oh, it'll go so much
better next time.

977
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:23,696
We'll get you to
the hairdresser.

978
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,720
Good.

979
00:38:25,860 --> 00:38:26,860
Bye.

980
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,160
Nikki's.

981
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:32,380
Oh, please be open.

982
00:38:38,370 --> 00:38:39,370
Oh, hi.

983
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:40,900
You still open?

984
00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:41,970
Oh, absolutely.

985
00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:46,170
Um, for a lady to dress like
that, Nikki's is always open.

986
00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:46,990
Uh, pull up a seat.

987
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:47,991
Thanks.

988
00:38:48,650 --> 00:38:50,630
So, are you Nikki?

989
00:38:50,970 --> 00:38:51,970
Uh, no, I'm Jake.

990
00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:53,230
There is no Nikki.

991
00:38:53,890 --> 00:38:55,110
Uh, never was.

992
00:38:56,260 --> 00:38:57,380
So why is it called Nikki's?

993
00:38:58,140 --> 00:38:59,180
We got a deal on the sign.

994
00:38:59,410 --> 00:39:00,410
Ah.

995
00:39:00,490 --> 00:39:00,950
Coffee?

996
00:39:01,410 --> 00:39:02,410
Yes, please.

997
00:39:02,530 --> 00:39:03,530
Okay.

998
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,550
Special of the house tonight
is burger, burger, or burger.

999
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:08,250
And we're all out
of the first two.

1000
00:39:08,510 --> 00:39:09,510
I'll take the burger.

1001
00:39:09,820 --> 00:39:10,820
Hey, ordering!

1002
00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:13,030
Hockey puck straight up.

1003
00:39:13,330 --> 00:39:14,330
How do you want it?

1004
00:39:15,950 --> 00:39:16,410
Hey.

1005
00:39:16,411 --> 00:39:16,450
Hey.

1006
00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:18,050
You found the place.

1007
00:39:18,530 --> 00:39:19,530
You work here too?

1008
00:39:19,830 --> 00:39:20,230
Not really.

1009
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:21,910
I just help out every
once in a while.

1010
00:39:22,550 --> 00:39:23,710
That's into the surfing time?

1011
00:39:23,810 --> 00:39:24,850
Something like that, yeah.

1012
00:39:26,590 --> 00:39:27,590
Fridge needs cleaning.

1013
00:39:27,630 --> 00:39:28,690
Uh, I did it yesterday.

1014
00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:30,030
Yeah, it's dirty again.

1015
00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:33,940
I better clean it then.

1016
00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:39,290
So, I take it the party
wasn't very good.

1017
00:39:39,490 --> 00:39:40,990
What would make you say that?

1018
00:39:41,370 --> 00:39:43,690
Well, you're at a burger
joint alone on a Friday night.

1019
00:39:44,090 --> 00:39:45,090
Date go home early?

1020
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:46,460
I didn't have a date.

1021
00:39:46,830 --> 00:39:48,590
I actually haven't had
one since Portland.

1022
00:39:49,460 --> 00:39:50,980
And even those
weren't too successful.

1023
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,056
I'm trying to be a little more
careful with my choices, you know?

1024
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:55,240
What does that mean, careful?

1025
00:39:55,490 --> 00:40:00,150
Um, a friend of mine refers to it as
finding someone who looks good on paper.

1026
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:01,510
On paper?

1027
00:40:01,790 --> 00:40:02,450
I'm sorry.

1028
00:40:02,770 --> 00:40:05,510
You mean a guy who's
stable, like a real breadwinner?

1029
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:09,690
Someone who has a good job,
snappy dresser, killer resume?

1030
00:40:09,985 --> 00:40:15,290
I mean, not, you know, just a
work resume, but, like, a life resume.

1031
00:40:16,060 --> 00:40:18,340
When you know what you
want, you gotta go after it, right?

1032
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:21,800
I'll go get you that burger.

1033
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,530
Hey, what happened
to your friend?

1034
00:40:47,950 --> 00:41:01,040
Wake up, wake up!

1035
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,720
I have it hard from Natalie.

1036
00:41:06,670 --> 00:41:09,700
Yeah, maybe because it's like 2
o'clock in the morning, for Pete's sake.

1037
00:41:09,980 --> 00:41:11,736
Do you think it's a bad sign
she hasn't touched base?

1038
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,100
I think it's a sign
that she's an adult.

1039
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,456
I was very clear that I wanted
to hear how things went.

1040
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,316
Well, if you feel that strongly about
it, why don't you just give her a call?

1041
00:41:19,340 --> 00:41:20,700
It's 2 o'clock in
the morning, Ben!

1042
00:41:20,740 --> 00:41:22,140
Okay, you gotta ratchet it down.

1043
00:41:22,505 --> 00:41:25,012
If I show an interest in the
professional relationship

1044
00:41:25,013 --> 00:41:27,361
with my most important
author, you'll have to forgive me.

1045
00:41:27,470 --> 00:41:29,560
Okay, all the more reason
you should play cool.

1046
00:41:34,010 --> 00:41:36,530
I need to get some rest, so turn
off the light when you're done.

1047
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:40,140
Ow!

1048
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,640
You like it?

1049
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:53,020
I just picked it
up this morning.

1050
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,000
I figured our first date would
be a perfect chance to try it out.

1051
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,400
I'm honored.

1052
00:42:33,710 --> 00:42:34,710
You've been here before?

1053
00:42:36,070 --> 00:42:38,210
It's Beverly Wilcox's
favorite lunch spot.

1054
00:42:39,710 --> 00:42:40,110
Ah.

1055
00:42:40,111 --> 00:42:41,550
No, no, we'll go somewhere else.

1056
00:42:41,690 --> 00:42:42,390
No, it's okay.

1057
00:42:42,470 --> 00:42:44,370
Really, I actually
love this place.

1058
00:42:44,490 --> 00:42:44,710
I do.

1059
00:42:44,950 --> 00:42:47,370
Okay, but the moment she
shows up, we ask for the check.

1060
00:42:47,550 --> 00:42:48,550
You got it?

1061
00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:49,650
Got it.

1062
00:42:56,510 --> 00:42:57,510
Thank you.

1063
00:42:58,630 --> 00:42:59,630
By

1064
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,140
then, my mom had the
police searching for me.

1065
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:06,600
The whole neighborhood's
turned upside down.

1066
00:43:06,601 --> 00:43:10,640
And they find me in the back row of
the library, asleep, between two stacks of

1067
00:43:10,641 --> 00:43:12,900
books with a first edition
Winnie the Pooh on my lap.

1068
00:43:14,270 --> 00:43:16,480
Well then, what's it like
working with Beverly Wilcox?

1069
00:43:16,670 --> 00:43:17,670
It's challenging.

1070
00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:20,010
I mean, she wants an editor.

1071
00:43:20,790 --> 00:43:22,042
But every time I try to
change something, she

1072
00:43:22,043 --> 00:43:24,441
insists that I just put
it back the way it was.

1073
00:43:25,330 --> 00:43:26,896
Why not just do what she
asks and take the paycheck?

1074
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Yeah.

1075
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:29,100
That's what Avery said.

1076
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,240
But there's something
special about her writing.

1077
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:34,320
Yeah.

1078
00:43:34,670 --> 00:43:36,200
It's worth about
$10,000 per word.

1079
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:37,600
No, not just that.

1080
00:43:38,670 --> 00:43:40,776
There is something underneath
the surface of her work.

1081
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,210
Something meaningful
that she's afraid to let

1082
00:43:43,211 --> 00:43:45,420
anybody know about for
fear of losing her readers.

1083
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,516
And you're going to help
her share that with the world?

1084
00:43:47,540 --> 00:43:48,540
I can't.

1085
00:43:49,075 --> 00:43:50,816
She's already threatened to
leave Avery's publishing house.

1086
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,400
If I push too far, she's gone.

1087
00:43:53,810 --> 00:43:57,580
Well, even if that does happen,
one good thing has come of all this.

1088
00:43:58,750 --> 00:44:01,640
If it wasn't for Beverly Wilcox,
I would never have met you.

1089
00:44:51,500 --> 00:44:52,680
Thanks for coming over.

1090
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:53,860
Of course.

1091
00:44:54,620 --> 00:44:55,660
Are those sugar-free?

1092
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:56,960
No.

1093
00:44:57,460 --> 00:45:00,420
I've been so rushed these
days, I hardly have time to eat.

1094
00:45:01,460 --> 00:45:04,180
So, I've been thinking
about that Horrocks school.

1095
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:04,880
Great.

1096
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:05,720
Great.

1097
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,301
The Horrocks school is...is
on the other side of the country.

1098
00:45:09,455 --> 00:45:11,740
But this is an environment
where presidents are groomed.

1099
00:45:11,741 --> 00:45:13,781
Well, what good is that if
he's raised by strangers?

1100
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,020
He'll come home for
summers and holidays.

1101
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,338
The greatest education
in the world is no good

1102
00:45:18,339 --> 00:45:21,341
if a child isn't grounded
in home and family.

1103
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,516
Sounds like they're going to
brainwash him or something.

1104
00:45:23,540 --> 00:45:24,980
Eli's place is here.

1105
00:45:25,510 --> 00:45:27,540
At least until he
graduates high school.

1106
00:45:28,330 --> 00:45:29,810
Can we talk about
it again in a year?

1107
00:45:31,740 --> 00:45:32,740
Fair enough.

1108
00:45:33,380 --> 00:45:34,860
Now, I really
have to go to work.

1109
00:45:34,900 --> 00:45:38,280
The world of medical billing grinds
to a halt without Letitia Jackson.

1110
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Okay.

1111
00:45:58,260 --> 00:45:59,800
Where is Alfonso?

1112
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:01,120
I took him out.

1113
00:46:01,510 --> 00:46:02,600
I know you took him out.

1114
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:04,060
I can read that.

1115
00:46:04,885 --> 00:46:05,800
I want to know why.

1116
00:46:05,801 --> 00:46:07,560
Well, he slowed
down the narrative.

1117
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,120
It was like he belonged
in another book.

1118
00:46:10,260 --> 00:46:11,540
I just didn't think that
we would miss him.

1119
00:46:11,541 --> 00:46:13,320
You didn't think
we would miss him?

1120
00:46:13,425 --> 00:46:14,840
Well, here's a
news flash for you.

1121
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:15,940
I do.

1122
00:46:17,820 --> 00:46:19,100
Put him back.

1123
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,040
Wait, Beverly!

1124
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,120
May I direct your attention
to the artwork on the wall?

1125
00:46:27,340 --> 00:46:28,880
Here and here.

1126
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,320
It does not say Natalie Holland.

1127
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,120
It says Beverly Wilcox.

1128
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,780
I am the author and
you are the author.

1129
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,100
You are my editor
and don't you forget it.

1130
00:46:38,500 --> 00:46:39,500
Or I will.

1131
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,400
Well, at least she lives
up to her reputation.

1132
00:46:45,970 --> 00:46:46,970
What are you doing here?

1133
00:46:47,530 --> 00:46:50,700
I got us a table for lunch at a
little place over in Silver Lake.

1134
00:46:51,110 --> 00:46:52,750
It's so hip, it doesn't
even have a name.

1135
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,120
The Queen of Darkness
will never find us.

1136
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:57,720
You're amazing.

1137
00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,000
I'll be right back.

1138
00:47:00,750 --> 00:47:01,750
You must be Bob.

1139
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,960
I'm Avery, Natalie's boss
and one of her closest friends.

1140
00:47:04,961 --> 00:47:06,081
It's a pleasure to meet you.

1141
00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:07,180
And you.

1142
00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:09,556
Natalie's been talking about
you for weeks, but I was

1143
00:47:09,557 --> 00:47:12,021
beginning to think you were
just a figment of her imagination.

1144
00:47:14,290 --> 00:47:15,620
No, I'm the real thing.

1145
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,060
Yes, you certainly are.

1146
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,880
Avery, I need to talk
to you about Beverly.

1147
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:20,960
It could wait.

1148
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,120
Enjoy your lunch.

1149
00:47:22,930 --> 00:47:24,360
Please, take all
the time you need.

1150
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,160
He seems very nice.

1151
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,560
Trust me, anything's better than that
surfing janitor she was after last month.

1152
00:47:41,150 --> 00:47:42,150
All right.

1153
00:47:42,930 --> 00:47:43,930
Watch this.

1154
00:47:53,870 --> 00:47:54,870
Afternoon.

1155
00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:57,050
Enjoy yourself.

1156
00:47:57,330 --> 00:47:58,330
Hey!

1157
00:47:58,970 --> 00:47:59,970
Dude.

1158
00:48:00,045 --> 00:48:01,106
Trying to hit through Big Ben.

1159
00:48:01,130 --> 00:48:02,130
Look, it's Miss Holland.

1160
00:48:02,490 --> 00:48:03,490
Hey, Miss Holland!

1161
00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:04,750
Hey!

1162
00:48:06,510 --> 00:48:07,510
Just a minute, okay?

1163
00:48:07,530 --> 00:48:08,050
Just a minute.

1164
00:48:08,070 --> 00:48:09,070
We have a reservation.

1165
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:10,330
He's a friend of mine.

1166
00:48:10,350 --> 00:48:11,350
Okay, just one second.

1167
00:48:13,110 --> 00:48:13,510
Hi!

1168
00:48:13,770 --> 00:48:14,470
Hey, Miss Holland.

1169
00:48:14,610 --> 00:48:15,770
What are you doing here?

1170
00:48:15,930 --> 00:48:17,650
We're about to have
lunch across the street.

1171
00:48:18,090 --> 00:48:18,490
Bob?

1172
00:48:18,491 --> 00:48:19,850
This is Eli.

1173
00:48:20,930 --> 00:48:21,930
And that's Coop.

1174
00:48:22,330 --> 00:48:23,330
Hi.

1175
00:48:24,010 --> 00:48:24,410
Bob?

1176
00:48:24,590 --> 00:48:24,890
Is it?

1177
00:48:25,010 --> 00:48:25,410
That's right.

1178
00:48:26,030 --> 00:48:27,030
And you're Coop?

1179
00:48:27,370 --> 00:48:28,150
That I am.

1180
00:48:28,290 --> 00:48:30,330
So, did you ever read
those books that I gave you?

1181
00:48:30,570 --> 00:48:31,110
Uh, yeah.

1182
00:48:31,210 --> 00:48:31,590
Twice.

1183
00:48:31,990 --> 00:48:32,990
They were amazing.

1184
00:48:33,050 --> 00:48:34,050
They were so cool.

1185
00:48:34,410 --> 00:48:35,410
You got any more?

1186
00:48:35,610 --> 00:48:36,010
Absolutely.

1187
00:48:36,290 --> 00:48:37,830
I can just drop some off later.

1188
00:48:38,930 --> 00:48:39,930
Thanks, Miss Holland.

1189
00:48:40,330 --> 00:48:42,410
You know, you guys can
come play with us if you want.

1190
00:48:42,990 --> 00:48:45,330
Oh, that is a tempting offer.

1191
00:48:45,490 --> 00:48:48,250
But... Yeah, I don't think
Bob's a mini-putt type.

1192
00:48:48,350 --> 00:48:48,470
Well, he's a good guy.

1193
00:48:48,910 --> 00:48:49,790
What's that supposed to mean?

1194
00:48:49,930 --> 00:48:50,290
Nothing.

1195
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:54,270
You just don't seem like the
kind of guy who has time for... fun.

1196
00:48:55,050 --> 00:48:55,410
Coop!

1197
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,726
Besides, they're eating at one of
the most exclusive restaurants in town.

1198
00:48:58,750 --> 00:49:00,346
Probably took them a
month to get a reservation.

1199
00:49:00,370 --> 00:49:01,130
Actually, I know the owner.

1200
00:49:01,350 --> 00:49:01,670
Really?

1201
00:49:02,130 --> 00:49:03,130
I'm impressed.

1202
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:04,370
You know what?

1203
00:49:04,890 --> 00:49:06,410
I feel like a round
of golf after all.

1204
00:49:06,570 --> 00:49:06,930
Bob!

1205
00:49:07,250 --> 00:49:08,250
Who knows?

1206
00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:09,790
Might even be fun.

1207
00:49:52,175 --> 00:49:53,175
Okay, Coop.

1208
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:54,600
We're all tied up.

1209
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:54,860
We're all tied up.

1210
00:49:54,861 --> 00:49:56,240
You sink this putt.

1211
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:57,400
We win the game.

1212
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:58,560
You miss it.

1213
00:49:59,020 --> 00:50:00,020
We lose.

1214
00:50:00,660 --> 00:50:01,340
Thank you.

1215
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:02,440
No pressure.

1216
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:03,880
How about we
make it interesting?

1217
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:05,360
What do you say, Coop?

1218
00:50:05,590 --> 00:50:06,750
A little bit amongst friends?

1219
00:50:06,860 --> 00:50:08,340
Oh, I don't think
that's a good idea.

1220
00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:09,920
How much are we talking about?

1221
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,360
Just enough to make it exciting.

1222
00:50:12,060 --> 00:50:13,060
I say five.

1223
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:13,660
Dollars?

1224
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:15,720
I think Bob means a
little bit more than that.

1225
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,560
Uh, guys?

1226
00:50:16,860 --> 00:50:17,860
Look at the sign.

1227
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:20,660
Well, rules are rules, Bob.

1228
00:50:20,860 --> 00:50:21,860
Take the shot anyway.

1229
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,280
Okay.

1230
00:50:30,030 --> 00:50:30,430
Thanks.

1231
00:50:30,910 --> 00:50:31,910
Go on, Bob.

1232
00:50:32,170 --> 00:50:33,690
That would have
really broke the bank.

1233
00:50:33,850 --> 00:50:34,850
Oh, ha ha.

1234
00:50:35,150 --> 00:50:36,150
Well, look at the time.

1235
00:50:36,250 --> 00:50:37,450
Got to get back to the office.

1236
00:50:37,650 --> 00:50:38,690
It's nice seeing you, Eli.

1237
00:50:38,910 --> 00:50:39,230
Coop!

1238
00:50:39,510 --> 00:50:41,130
Uh, thanks for the
books, Miss Holland.

1239
00:50:41,450 --> 00:50:42,450
Anytime.

1240
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:44,490
Thanks for playing, guys.

1241
00:50:46,670 --> 00:50:47,990
He's all wrong
for her, you know.

1242
00:50:48,670 --> 00:50:49,910
Well, she knows what she wants.

1243
00:50:51,670 --> 00:50:52,670
Can't fault her for that.

1244
00:51:01,180 --> 00:51:02,180
Alphonso.

1245
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:03,580
What are you
doing in this story?

1246
00:51:03,581 --> 00:51:03,780
A story.

1247
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:05,820
Why are you in this story?

1248
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,140
Oh, can I help you with that?

1249
00:51:15,370 --> 00:51:16,560
Oh, don't worry about it.

1250
00:51:16,580 --> 00:51:17,660
I don't want to bother you.

1251
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,596
I'm just taking this stuff
down to the community garden.

1252
00:51:19,620 --> 00:51:20,620
Have you ever been there?

1253
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,000
Can't say that I have.

1254
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,160
Oh, well, it is great.

1255
00:51:23,545 --> 00:51:24,545
You want to come with us?

1256
00:51:24,850 --> 00:51:26,090
Don't bother Miss Holland, Eli.

1257
00:51:26,300 --> 00:51:27,080
She has a deadline.

1258
00:51:27,180 --> 00:51:28,476
She doesn't have
time for stuff like this.

1259
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:29,500
I'll get my shoes.

1260
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,640
Now, did I just do this instead?

1261
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:39,480
You're fine.

1262
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Okay.

1263
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:41,900
All right.

1264
00:51:41,980 --> 00:51:44,740
Now, the thing about planting
these kind of vegetables is...

1265
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,100
you have to be
careful with fertilizer.

1266
00:51:47,780 --> 00:51:50,500
Tell me more, oh
wizard of plants.

1267
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:51,700
Plant wizard.

1268
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,180
Ah, of course.

1269
00:51:53,260 --> 00:51:55,040
I fear I cannot, dear lady.

1270
00:51:55,980 --> 00:51:57,080
It's a secret of the ages.

1271
00:51:57,860 --> 00:51:59,400
Known only to a select few.

1272
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:01,000
All right.

1273
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:02,456
I'm gonna go get
some more water.

1274
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:02,840
You got this.

1275
00:52:02,860 --> 00:52:03,860
Okay.

1276
00:52:09,020 --> 00:52:10,020
This is great.

1277
00:52:10,700 --> 00:52:12,220
Like, right in the
middle of the city?

1278
00:52:12,700 --> 00:52:15,480
Uh, used to be a factory or
something, but it got torn down.

1279
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,140
It was just sitting here.

1280
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:19,960
Until it was bought and
donated to the mentor program.

1281
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:21,320
Hmm.

1282
00:52:21,321 --> 00:52:23,200
So, do you and
Coop work on it much?

1283
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,400
You kidding?

1284
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,516
We come here all the time.

1285
00:52:25,540 --> 00:52:27,036
He's the one who
started this whole thing.

1286
00:52:27,060 --> 00:52:28,480
The community
garden was his idea.

1287
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:29,880
Really?

1288
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:30,560
Yeah.

1289
00:52:30,561 --> 00:52:33,340
He says, where else can you
change the world while getting a tan?

1290
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,080
He said that?

1291
00:52:37,140 --> 00:52:37,720
Mm-hmm.

1292
00:52:37,980 --> 00:52:39,580
Well, we come here
whenever we can.

1293
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,940
Unless we're playing basketball or
surfing or, you know, just hanging out.

1294
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:46,640
But sometimes he
makes me do homework.

1295
00:52:48,020 --> 00:52:49,220
Well, that one's perfect.

1296
00:52:52,500 --> 00:52:53,440
Keep up the good work, okay?

1297
00:52:53,441 --> 00:52:54,481
He's really a good person.

1298
00:52:55,220 --> 00:52:56,820
How long have you
guys known each other?

1299
00:52:57,780 --> 00:52:58,780
Since I was a kid.

1300
00:52:59,720 --> 00:53:00,720
Like 11.

1301
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:02,840
Long time, huh?

1302
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:04,316
They had this
thing called the L.A.

1303
00:53:04,340 --> 00:53:05,340
Mentor Program.

1304
00:53:05,900 --> 00:53:07,300
But now I can't
get rid of the guy.

1305
00:53:07,900 --> 00:53:10,360
Well, I think it is great that
you're helping mentor Coop.

1306
00:53:10,460 --> 00:53:11,620
I mean, he needs it.

1307
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,420
Oh, what's so funny?

1308
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:16,600
Nothing.

1309
00:53:16,940 --> 00:53:18,520
We weren't talking
about you at all.

1310
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:19,060
Yeah, right.

1311
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:20,560
You guys hungry?

1312
00:53:20,700 --> 00:53:21,820
Oh, starving.

1313
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:22,380
All right.

1314
00:53:22,460 --> 00:53:23,460
Let's eat.

1315
00:53:23,980 --> 00:53:24,500
Let's go.

1316
00:53:24,580 --> 00:53:24,760
Okay.

1317
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:25,320
Oh, wait.

1318
00:53:25,380 --> 00:53:25,920
Wait for me.

1319
00:53:26,020 --> 00:53:27,020
Wait.

1320
00:53:27,060 --> 00:53:28,060
Come on.

1321
00:53:31,290 --> 00:53:31,690
Well?

1322
00:53:31,870 --> 00:53:33,530
These are amazing.

1323
00:53:34,050 --> 00:53:34,450
Right?

1324
00:53:34,530 --> 00:53:34,870
They are.

1325
00:53:35,265 --> 00:53:36,390
Best tacos in town.

1326
00:53:36,970 --> 00:53:38,730
And you know what the
most excellent part is?

1327
00:53:38,790 --> 00:53:38,910
Hmm?

1328
00:53:39,110 --> 00:53:40,310
They come wherever you are.

1329
00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:43,590
I think it's important to have good
food available in a neighborhood like this.

1330
00:53:44,950 --> 00:53:46,710
Not everyone can afford
Crawford's, you know?

1331
00:53:47,810 --> 00:53:49,030
Uh, lunch is on me.

1332
00:53:49,210 --> 00:53:49,450
Mm.

1333
00:53:50,090 --> 00:53:50,910
Yeah, I insist.

1334
00:53:50,990 --> 00:53:51,990
No, I already...

1335
00:53:52,590 --> 00:53:53,270
There you go.

1336
00:53:53,390 --> 00:53:54,390
Five minutes.

1337
00:53:55,190 --> 00:53:55,550
Hi.

1338
00:53:55,690 --> 00:53:55,930
Hey.

1339
00:53:56,030 --> 00:53:56,430
How much?

1340
00:53:56,450 --> 00:53:57,510
Oh, no charge.

1341
00:53:57,910 --> 00:53:59,510
Oh, but there was
a... Not for Coop.

1342
00:53:59,550 --> 00:54:00,550
Not for friends of Coop.

1343
00:54:00,690 --> 00:54:01,890
He helped us out a while back.

1344
00:54:02,010 --> 00:54:03,950
So as long as I'm making
tacos, he eats for free.

1345
00:54:05,850 --> 00:54:06,850
There you go, hon.

1346
00:54:09,230 --> 00:54:09,850
You ready?

1347
00:54:09,970 --> 00:54:10,970
Yeah.

1348
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:17,120
Hi.

1349
00:54:17,670 --> 00:54:18,900
Natalie still hasn't called.

1350
00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:20,636
Should I go over to her place?

1351
00:54:20,660 --> 00:54:20,860
No.

1352
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:22,200
I'm sure she's working.

1353
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:23,640
Have you heard from Beverly?

1354
00:54:23,980 --> 00:54:26,780
I haven't seen her since she laid
it all out for Natalie the other day.

1355
00:54:26,870 --> 00:54:28,286
Well, that scene
wasn't just for Natalie.

1356
00:54:28,310 --> 00:54:30,880
She wants everyone to know what
her books mean to Goldstein Publishing.

1357
00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:32,460
Do you think Natalie
can pull this off?

1358
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:33,680
I sure hope so.

1359
00:54:34,090 --> 00:54:36,205
We have to keep a close
eye on the situation until

1360
00:54:36,285 --> 00:54:37,920
the book is in our hands,
ready for the printer.

1361
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:38,520
Got it.

1362
00:54:38,521 --> 00:54:38,660
All right.

1363
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,340
I don't think I overstate the case in
saying our livelihoods depend on Beverly

1364
00:54:42,341 --> 00:54:45,180
Wilcox and her continued
association with Goldstein Publishing.

1365
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:46,320
Well, that's comforting.

1366
00:54:46,860 --> 00:54:47,860
Tell me about it.

1367
00:54:58,580 --> 00:55:00,140
Thanks for coming
with us, Ms. Holland.

1368
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:01,756
Well, thanks for
letting me tag along.

1369
00:55:01,780 --> 00:55:02,520
I had fun.

1370
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,120
Oh, you're not going to forget
to bring those books, right?

1371
00:55:05,220 --> 00:55:06,380
I will not forget.

1372
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,480
No.

1373
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,160
Oh.

1374
00:55:11,790 --> 00:55:12,790
Did you let it go?

1375
00:55:13,790 --> 00:55:14,790
Do your homework.

1376
00:55:16,130 --> 00:55:16,690
Yeah, yeah.

1377
00:55:16,810 --> 00:55:17,810
All right.

1378
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:23,080
Thanks.

1379
00:55:23,081 --> 00:55:24,161
That's where he lives, huh?

1380
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:24,600
Yeah.

1381
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:25,960
You know, it's funny.

1382
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,798
You look at a place like
this, or an empty lot, or a

1383
00:55:28,898 --> 00:55:32,280
food truck, and they don't
look like much on paper.

1384
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,080
I'm just saying, sometimes
paper doesn't tell the whole story.

1385
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,480
Thank you for today and
for showing me around.

1386
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,120
You're welcome.

1387
00:55:52,420 --> 00:55:54,220
You know, it wasn't exactly
the type of places you're used to.

1388
00:55:54,221 --> 00:55:55,661
But... It's okay.

1389
00:55:55,995 --> 00:55:58,035
I'm starting to get tired
of the places I'm used to.

1390
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,420
Well, maybe you can
do it again sometime.

1391
00:56:01,450 --> 00:56:04,720
I know a couple of great thrift
shops, an amazing soup kitchen.

1392
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:06,200
Coop?

1393
00:56:07,220 --> 00:56:09,141
I, um... I...

1394
00:56:09,820 --> 00:56:10,860
I just...

1395
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:20,980
I'm sorry.

1396
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,120
I shouldn't be doing this.

1397
00:56:22,180 --> 00:56:23,180
I know.

1398
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,200
You need something.

1399
00:56:24,220 --> 00:56:26,016
You know, it's one that
looks good on paper, right?

1400
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,040
That's not fair.

1401
00:56:28,090 --> 00:56:29,090
No, it's not.

1402
00:56:30,930 --> 00:56:34,040
Can I go?

1403
00:56:58,050 --> 00:56:58,314
I'm just saying, I really
need something, but I need to

1404
00:56:58,315 --> 00:56:59,010
get this done before the
election Beverly, what is it?

1405
00:56:59,011 --> 00:57:00,011
What's wrong?

1406
00:57:02,750 --> 00:57:03,750
Well,

1407
00:57:07,810 --> 00:57:07,810
just like Connie said,
I want to go with you.

1408
00:57:07,811 --> 00:57:08,811
Good morning, Beverly.

1409
00:57:08,990 --> 00:57:10,290
Beautiful, isn't it?

1410
00:57:10,950 --> 00:57:13,400
I come up here to
remind myself that there

1411
00:57:13,401 --> 00:57:15,890
are still lots of good
things about this city.

1412
00:57:16,230 --> 00:57:17,230
Right.

1413
00:57:17,330 --> 00:57:17,810
So?

1414
00:57:17,811 --> 00:57:22,890
So, it's not completely overrun with
devious, underhanded, treacherous...

1415
00:57:22,891 --> 00:57:24,171
You said there was an emergency.

1416
00:57:24,470 --> 00:57:26,290
Oh yes, absolutely, there was.

1417
00:57:27,115 --> 00:57:29,630
Unfortunately, the patient died.

1418
00:57:30,570 --> 00:57:31,570
You didn't like it.

1419
00:57:31,630 --> 00:57:33,730
You took out the
diamond necklace subplot.

1420
00:57:34,420 --> 00:57:36,950
You removed all the
flashbacks from the 18th century.

1421
00:57:37,355 --> 00:57:40,730
The dialogue now sounds like something
you would overhear at a laundromat.

1422
00:57:41,155 --> 00:57:43,090
And no Alfonso.

1423
00:57:43,310 --> 00:57:45,870
So, in a sentence,
I would say...

1424
00:57:46,070 --> 00:57:47,070
No, Natalie.

1425
00:57:48,205 --> 00:57:50,650
I did not like it.

1426
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,350
Okay, let's work on it together.

1427
00:57:52,740 --> 00:57:55,070
You don't know
what together means.

1428
00:57:55,575 --> 00:57:56,726
That's what I've
been trying to do.

1429
00:57:56,750 --> 00:58:00,250
You have some preconceived
idea about my work and my readers.

1430
00:58:00,650 --> 00:58:03,270
And how you're just going to
change everything for the better.

1431
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,530
But it's not my better.

1432
00:58:05,995 --> 00:58:06,870
It's not even our better.

1433
00:58:06,950 --> 00:58:07,950
It's only your better.

1434
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,610
I am sorry if I have
offended you in any way.

1435
00:58:10,670 --> 00:58:13,210
I'm just trying to bring
some integrity to the project.

1436
00:58:13,550 --> 00:58:15,590
Well, I've had just about
enough of your integrity.

1437
00:58:15,870 --> 00:58:21,370
If my manuscript is not restored to its
original form and submitted as complete,

1438
00:58:21,650 --> 00:58:23,690
I will leave
Goldstein Publishing.

1439
00:58:25,290 --> 00:58:26,030
Oh, good.

1440
00:58:26,230 --> 00:58:28,250
Well, enjoy the walk back down.

1441
00:58:28,850 --> 00:58:30,070
Watch out for the dog poop.

1442
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:41,746
Hey, there's my lunch date.

1443
00:58:41,770 --> 00:58:43,830
Just give me one minute
and we are out of here.

1444
00:58:44,050 --> 00:58:45,050
Oh, I'm in a hurry.

1445
00:58:45,090 --> 00:58:46,716
When was the last time
you said something like that?

1446
00:58:46,740 --> 00:58:48,970
Just before I sent Beverly's
last book to the printer.

1447
00:58:49,730 --> 00:58:51,006
So, things are going as planned?

1448
00:58:51,030 --> 00:58:52,030
Not sure yet.

1449
00:58:53,170 --> 00:58:53,970
Well, Natalie.

1450
00:58:53,971 --> 00:58:54,310
Natalie's smart.

1451
00:58:54,410 --> 00:58:56,250
I'm sure she's got your back.

1452
00:58:56,510 --> 00:58:58,310
Speaking of Natalie,
she's dating someone.

1453
00:58:58,620 --> 00:58:59,620
She told you?

1454
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,950
Never been married, top of his law class,
and just made partner at one of the best

1455
00:59:04,100 --> 00:59:05,220
entertainment firms in town.

1456
00:59:05,430 --> 00:59:06,430
I do know all that.

1457
00:59:06,490 --> 00:59:07,050
I've edited him.

1458
00:59:07,275 --> 00:59:08,290
You've got to stop.

1459
00:59:08,650 --> 00:59:11,630
I have an obligation to watch
out for one of my best friends.

1460
00:59:11,810 --> 00:59:12,810
You have no shame.

1461
00:59:13,790 --> 00:59:16,964
I have a feeling that all
the pieces are about to fall

1462
00:59:16,965 --> 00:59:19,910
into place for Goldstein
Publishing and Natalie Holland.

1463
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:21,606
I thought you were
buying me lunch.

1464
00:59:21,630 --> 00:59:22,630
I was?

1465
00:59:22,970 --> 00:59:23,330
Incorrigible.

1466
00:59:23,490 --> 00:59:24,490
Mm-hmm.

1467
00:59:25,230 --> 00:59:26,230
That's why you love me.

1468
00:59:26,955 --> 00:59:28,635
There are a lot of
reasons why I love you.

1469
00:59:28,805 --> 00:59:29,805
That is not one of them.

1470
00:59:30,290 --> 00:59:31,290
She's bluffing.

1471
00:59:31,710 --> 00:59:32,270
You think?

1472
00:59:32,550 --> 00:59:33,550
I know.

1473
00:59:35,190 --> 00:59:37,310
Look, she hired you because
you stood up there, right?

1474
00:59:37,770 --> 00:59:39,090
She's betting
you'll do it again.

1475
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:50,160
Regular?

1476
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:51,400
Yeah.

1477
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:53,360
Huh.

1478
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:54,916
You were right about this place.

1479
00:59:54,940 --> 00:59:55,940
This burger's fantastic.

1480
00:59:57,340 --> 00:59:58,340
It's a bit thick, though.

1481
00:59:59,060 --> 01:00:02,981
They could probably shave off about a third
and increase their profit margins by 20%.

1482
01:00:04,380 --> 01:00:05,380
Thanks.

1483
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:08,320
Isn't that your friend?

1484
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:09,360
Yeah.

1485
01:00:11,220 --> 01:00:12,300
Not so friendly today?

1486
01:00:15,420 --> 01:00:16,820
So, what am I going to do?

1487
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,160
You're her editor.

1488
01:00:19,740 --> 01:00:20,820
Make the changes you want.

1489
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,620
Whether she likes it or
not, she will back down.

1490
01:00:23,940 --> 01:00:24,940
What if she doesn't?

1491
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,640
If Beverly leaves, Goldstein
Publishing goes out of business.

1492
01:00:28,820 --> 01:00:29,820
Avery loses everything.

1493
01:00:30,540 --> 01:00:31,540
She's not going to leave.

1494
01:00:32,660 --> 01:00:33,660
Trust me.

1495
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,980
Hey, what's going on?

1496
01:01:38,980 --> 01:01:40,360
No, no, I assure you.

1497
01:01:41,310 --> 01:01:44,420
It was simply a case of we here at
Goldstein Publishing feeling we had gone

1498
01:01:44,421 --> 01:01:47,880
as far as we could with Ms. Wilcox's
work and that it was time for us to both

1499
01:01:47,881 --> 01:01:50,253
amicably part company
in search of fresh

1500
01:01:50,265 --> 01:01:52,881
inspiration in these
rapidly changing times.

1501
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,036
That's the only comment
I'll be making at this time.

1502
01:01:55,060 --> 01:01:56,060
Thank you.

1503
01:01:57,930 --> 01:01:58,760
You had to do it, didn't you?

1504
01:01:58,945 --> 01:02:00,400
Avery, what happened?

1505
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,120
What do you mean, what happened?

1506
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,820
You know very
well what happened.

1507
01:02:04,190 --> 01:02:05,270
She told me she warned you.

1508
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,440
She told me she said if you changed
her manuscript, she was going to leave,

1509
01:02:09,580 --> 01:02:10,960
and you did, and she has.

1510
01:02:11,140 --> 01:02:11,300
No.

1511
01:02:11,620 --> 01:02:11,980
Yes.

1512
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,760
She signed a new
deal this morning.

1513
01:02:14,460 --> 01:02:15,800
The news is already online.

1514
01:02:15,860 --> 01:02:17,980
That's the tenth phone
call I've had since I got here.

1515
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:19,080
Okay, she can't leave.

1516
01:02:19,485 --> 01:02:21,176
There's got to be a
contract or something, right?

1517
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,220
It was on a boat-by-boat basis.

1518
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,220
She's taking her name,
all her material, everything.

1519
01:02:26,770 --> 01:02:30,889
That leaves us with two
cookbooks and a guide to famous

1520
01:02:30,890 --> 01:02:33,680
curb markers in New England
to release for the coming year.

1521
01:02:35,180 --> 01:02:36,180
We're ruined.

1522
01:02:37,540 --> 01:02:38,020
Avery.

1523
01:02:38,220 --> 01:02:39,220
Avery, I'm sorry.

1524
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:40,801
I... All you had
to do was nothing!

1525
01:02:41,500 --> 01:02:42,500
Nothing!

1526
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,960
Half the people in this
city are experts at that.

1527
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:46,160
Why couldn't you do it, too?

1528
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:50,560
I'm beginning to think
coming here was a big mistake.

1529
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:52,600
Yeah, well, you're
not the only one.

1530
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:56,960
Natalie, I'm sorry.

1531
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:57,560
I didn't mean that.

1532
01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:58,000
It's okay.

1533
01:02:58,100 --> 01:02:59,100
I got to go.

1534
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,236
Don't take anything else
down until I come back.

1535
01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:25,920
Where are you going?

1536
01:03:26,260 --> 01:03:27,040
I'm going to find her.

1537
01:03:27,180 --> 01:03:28,756
I'm going to try to talk
some sense into her.

1538
01:03:28,780 --> 01:03:30,220
She doesn't have
to listen to you.

1539
01:03:30,695 --> 01:03:32,040
She can do anything she wants.

1540
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:33,580
She's Beverly Wilcox.

1541
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,460
Wasn't it you who told me that
King Kong was only three foot six?

1542
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:44,560
You, sir.

1543
01:03:52,470 --> 01:03:53,590
Excuse me, Beverly.

1544
01:03:53,790 --> 01:03:54,690
I'm sorry to interrupt.

1545
01:03:54,790 --> 01:03:56,236
May I speak with you
for just two minutes?

1546
01:03:56,260 --> 01:03:57,260
Natalie, um...

1547
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:02,920
Hi.

1548
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:04,280
Hi.

1549
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,600
Bob Lewis, Natalie Holland.

1550
01:04:08,410 --> 01:04:09,620
Natalie used to work for me.

1551
01:04:10,660 --> 01:04:12,660
Bob represents
Warfield Publishing.

1552
01:04:12,820 --> 01:04:14,540
They're handling my next book.

1553
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,361
I... I...

1554
01:04:21,010 --> 01:04:22,010
Excuse me.

1555
01:04:27,940 --> 01:04:28,940
That is so odd.

1556
01:04:29,090 --> 01:04:30,930
She acted as if she knew you.

1557
01:04:31,870 --> 01:04:32,870
She does.

1558
01:04:50,300 --> 01:04:51,340
I'm sorry.

1559
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:52,580
I just... I...

1560
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,200
I'm sorry.

1561
01:05:09,010 --> 01:05:10,370
Hey, Natalie.

1562
01:05:12,510 --> 01:05:13,290
How you doing?

1563
01:05:13,350 --> 01:05:14,350
You alone today?

1564
01:05:15,055 --> 01:05:16,470
Is, uh, Coop around?

1565
01:05:16,830 --> 01:05:17,170
Nah.

1566
01:05:17,410 --> 01:05:18,410
Haven't seen him.

1567
01:05:20,090 --> 01:05:20,470
Oh.

1568
01:05:20,471 --> 01:05:21,471
Um...

1569
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,030
Okay, if he comes by, could you
just... tell him I was looking for him?

1570
01:05:27,310 --> 01:05:28,450
Jake, where's Coop?

1571
01:05:29,260 --> 01:05:31,390
Well, just like I was telling
the lady... He's not here.

1572
01:05:31,510 --> 01:05:31,910
What's wrong?

1573
01:05:32,170 --> 01:05:33,170
It's my mom.

1574
01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:37,230
So what happened?

1575
01:05:37,430 --> 01:05:38,950
She couldn't breathe,
so I called 911.

1576
01:05:39,250 --> 01:05:41,970
The ambulance came, but they
said I need an adult to sign the papers.

1577
01:05:42,190 --> 01:05:44,510
My brother's at work, and
I couldn't get a hold of him.

1578
01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:44,970
It's okay.

1579
01:05:45,070 --> 01:05:45,250
Okay?

1580
01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:45,770
I don't want you to worry.

1581
01:05:45,850 --> 01:05:47,866
We're gonna get you to the hospital,
and everything's gonna be all right.

1582
01:05:47,890 --> 01:05:48,890
Thanks.

1583
01:05:54,870 --> 01:05:55,870
You read these?

1584
01:05:56,030 --> 01:05:56,350
No.

1585
01:05:56,730 --> 01:05:57,790
I... I don't.

1586
01:05:57,890 --> 01:05:58,890
My mom loves them.

1587
01:06:00,310 --> 01:06:01,450
She says they take her away.

1588
01:06:02,810 --> 01:06:04,130
I'm not quite sure
where exactly.

1589
01:06:04,990 --> 01:06:05,990
But...

1590
01:06:06,170 --> 01:06:07,810
You know, she sure
reads enough of them.

1591
01:06:10,290 --> 01:06:11,590
Never makes her happy, I guess.

1592
01:06:12,730 --> 01:06:13,730
You know what?

1593
01:06:13,810 --> 01:06:15,450
Why don't you give that to your
mom when we get to the hospital?

1594
01:06:15,451 --> 01:06:16,451
Really?

1595
01:06:16,650 --> 01:06:17,650
Thanks, Miss Holland.

1596
01:06:19,410 --> 01:06:21,050
I don't think she has this one.

1597
01:06:23,890 --> 01:06:25,370
I'm sorry for
dragging you into this.

1598
01:06:26,350 --> 01:06:28,650
I'm sure you have more
important things to worry about.

1599
01:06:28,870 --> 01:06:29,270
You know what?

1600
01:06:29,570 --> 01:06:31,690
I'm starting to change my
mind about what's important.

1601
01:06:32,350 --> 01:06:33,350
Well, what do you mean?

1602
01:06:33,430 --> 01:06:37,870
Well, you might not understand this
until you're a little bit older, but...

1603
01:06:38,610 --> 01:06:41,130
you haven't been very
nice to our friend Coop.

1604
01:06:41,750 --> 01:06:44,506
I thought I wanted to spend my life
with someone who had an important job,

1605
01:06:44,530 --> 01:06:47,270
important money, important...
big plans for the future.

1606
01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:49,850
I was following some
stupid map in my head when

1607
01:06:49,851 --> 01:06:51,750
I should have just
been following my heart.

1608
01:06:52,110 --> 01:06:54,350
You mean you picked Bob when
you should have picked Coop.

1609
01:06:55,610 --> 01:06:57,130
Are you actually a 30-year-old?

1610
01:06:57,770 --> 01:06:58,770
I get it.

1611
01:06:58,970 --> 01:07:00,890
But, you know, that's the
great thing about Coop.

1612
01:07:01,270 --> 01:07:02,270
He's both.

1613
01:07:02,830 --> 01:07:05,550
He's a great guy
and he's loaded.

1614
01:07:06,810 --> 01:07:10,104
Well, I'm not sure having your own
surfboard means you're loaded, but.

1615
01:07:10,371 --> 01:07:11,830
only your apartment
building does.

1616
01:07:12,890 --> 01:07:13,470
Excuse me?

1617
01:07:13,710 --> 01:07:13,990
Yeah.

1618
01:07:13,991 --> 01:07:15,870
You used to be this
big Wall Street guy.

1619
01:07:16,390 --> 01:07:19,310
He owns a bunch of
buildings, like Nikki's Grill.

1620
01:07:19,470 --> 01:07:21,210
And he donated a
lot for our garden, too.

1621
01:07:21,330 --> 01:07:22,330
Are you sure about this?

1622
01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:23,550
It's no secret or anything.

1623
01:07:23,810 --> 01:07:25,330
He just doesn't
think it's a big deal.

1624
01:07:25,570 --> 01:07:26,830
Oh, turn here.

1625
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,980
Oh, look at the pretty flowers.

1626
01:07:37,940 --> 01:07:38,940
Thank you.

1627
01:07:39,780 --> 01:07:41,060
Maybe you were working too hard.

1628
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,420
I think it was the doughnuts.

1629
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,380
Is Eli here?

1630
01:07:46,870 --> 01:07:47,870
Natalie's bringing him.

1631
01:07:48,100 --> 01:07:49,100
What happened?

1632
01:07:51,340 --> 01:07:52,340
Diabetic ketoacidosis.

1633
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,161
I was getting ready for
my night job and... boom.

1634
01:07:58,180 --> 01:07:59,180
So what now?

1635
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,040
They keep me here overnight.

1636
01:08:02,150 --> 01:08:04,400
Get my blood level
stable and let me go.

1637
01:08:07,630 --> 01:08:08,630
Keep Eli away.

1638
01:08:10,890 --> 01:08:12,370
I don't want him
to see me like this.

1639
01:08:12,930 --> 01:08:15,530
I'll try my best to keep him out
of the building, but no promises.

1640
01:08:18,430 --> 01:08:20,150
Coop, I have to clear
something up with you.

1641
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,141
At school, you... I had no business
hounding you about it, Leticia.

1642
01:08:24,490 --> 01:08:27,520
You suggested it for Eli because
you were interested in his future.

1643
01:08:30,870 --> 01:08:32,030
Okay, so I got one more idea.

1644
01:08:32,660 --> 01:08:33,660
What is it?

1645
01:08:35,170 --> 01:08:39,020
When it comes time for college,
you let me use my alumni network.

1646
01:08:39,655 --> 01:08:40,655
If he's interested.

1647
01:08:42,740 --> 01:08:43,740
Yeah.

1648
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,480
That's an idea I can
definitely get behind.

1649
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:46,940
Yeah?

1650
01:08:47,100 --> 01:08:47,500
Yeah.

1651
01:08:47,940 --> 01:08:48,940
Great.

1652
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:53,580
Okay, you know, I hate to be a
party pooper, but I'm about to nod.

1653
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:54,680
Oh, of course, of course.

1654
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:57,960
Oh, Coop.

1655
01:09:00,030 --> 01:09:01,540
Thank you for being our friend.

1656
01:09:19,180 --> 01:09:19,500
Eli.

1657
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,160
Coop!

1658
01:09:25,590 --> 01:09:26,700
Your mom's gonna be fine.

1659
01:09:27,100 --> 01:09:29,236
They want to keep her
overnight, but she's gonna be okay.

1660
01:09:29,260 --> 01:09:29,960
Can I see her?

1661
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:30,520
Not tonight.

1662
01:09:30,700 --> 01:09:33,660
She's resting, but I'll bring you
back first thing in the morning, alright?

1663
01:09:35,790 --> 01:09:36,956
Why don't you go
wait in the truck?

1664
01:09:36,980 --> 01:09:37,980
I'll take you home.

1665
01:09:42,550 --> 01:09:44,670
May I hug you, Ms. Collins?

1666
01:09:46,110 --> 01:09:47,650
I think that would be very nice.

1667
01:09:51,980 --> 01:09:52,980
Thank you.

1668
01:09:53,440 --> 01:09:54,440
You're welcome.

1669
01:09:59,020 --> 01:10:00,160
She's gonna be okay, right?

1670
01:10:00,380 --> 01:10:01,380
Yeah.

1671
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,480
She's gonna need an operation
in a week or so, but she'll be fine.

1672
01:10:06,780 --> 01:10:08,780
Are you going to
pay for that, too?

1673
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,040
Would've found
out sooner or later.

1674
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:17,120
Wait.

1675
01:10:18,060 --> 01:10:19,060
Can I...

1676
01:10:20,440 --> 01:10:22,160
Can I still cash
in my rain check?

1677
01:10:23,460 --> 01:10:25,460
I don't see the weather
changing any time soon.

1678
01:10:27,700 --> 01:10:28,700
See you around.

1679
01:10:49,050 --> 01:10:50,050
Hello, Beverly?

1680
01:10:50,340 --> 01:10:51,890
Natalie, I need
to speak with you.

1681
01:10:53,810 --> 01:10:54,970
I'm a little busy right now.

1682
01:10:55,495 --> 01:10:56,810
Well, it'll only take a moment.

1683
01:10:56,950 --> 01:10:57,910
I... I need to talk to you.

1684
01:10:57,911 --> 01:10:58,911
I need to see you.

1685
01:11:01,230 --> 01:11:02,230
Okay, where are you?

1686
01:11:02,950 --> 01:11:04,030
Standing outside your door.

1687
01:11:13,010 --> 01:11:14,010
May I come in?

1688
01:11:14,630 --> 01:11:15,630
Please.

1689
01:11:16,830 --> 01:11:17,830
Oh, you're moving.

1690
01:11:19,570 --> 01:11:19,970
Yep.

1691
01:11:20,170 --> 01:11:20,870
Back to Oregon.

1692
01:11:21,130 --> 01:11:22,310
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

1693
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:24,760
I figured I should get
out before it's too late.

1694
01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:27,250
You know, back in Oregon,
I was a pretty good editor.

1695
01:11:27,750 --> 01:11:30,070
And down here, I
turned into a lousy one.

1696
01:11:31,135 --> 01:11:32,135
And an even worse person.

1697
01:11:33,010 --> 01:11:35,250
I think maybe you're being
a little too hard on yourself.

1698
01:11:37,375 --> 01:11:39,330
Does your friend Bob
share that opinion?

1699
01:11:40,620 --> 01:11:43,250
Bob and I aren't exactly
on speaking terms.

1700
01:11:44,130 --> 01:11:45,130
Huh.

1701
01:11:46,940 --> 01:11:48,540
Well, at least we've
got that in common.

1702
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,690
You know, I figured
it out all by myself.

1703
01:11:51,890 --> 01:11:53,430
I'm not exactly
an idiot, you know.

1704
01:11:54,515 --> 01:11:55,710
He used you to get to me.

1705
01:11:55,770 --> 01:11:57,675
And then he convinced
you to do the exact thing

1706
01:11:57,676 --> 01:12:00,371
that would make me
leave Goldstein Publishing.

1707
01:12:00,770 --> 01:12:01,510
And I did.

1708
01:12:01,660 --> 01:12:03,730
And I was wrong.

1709
01:12:04,700 --> 01:12:06,180
So are you going
to go back to Avery?

1710
01:12:06,290 --> 01:12:07,910
Unfortunately, I can't.

1711
01:12:07,911 --> 01:12:10,810
I signed a two-year
contract with Bob's company.

1712
01:12:11,180 --> 01:12:16,291
His company owns my name, my face,
and the next three books by Beverly Wilcox.

1713
01:12:17,820 --> 01:12:20,730
So maybe they'll find you
a better editor than me.

1714
01:12:20,890 --> 01:12:22,010
You are an excellent editor.

1715
01:12:23,210 --> 01:12:25,190
Frankly, you're probably
the best I ever had.

1716
01:12:27,700 --> 01:12:32,450
Bob Lewis, ironically enough in all
this, gave you some very good advice.

1717
01:12:33,660 --> 01:12:35,230
I did need you
to stand up to me.

1718
01:12:36,810 --> 01:12:38,970
It's not your fault that
I can't let go of things.

1719
01:12:40,180 --> 01:12:41,180
Like Alfonso?

1720
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:44,650
Very cute apartment.

1721
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:48,030
Reminds me of one I
had when I first got to town.

1722
01:12:50,525 --> 01:12:52,990
Back then, my name
was Margaret Bunn.

1723
01:12:54,230 --> 01:12:55,570
And I had one book.

1724
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,400
A little spy
thriller I'd written.

1725
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:02,090
Oh, I was sure it was
going to sell right away.

1726
01:13:03,030 --> 01:13:08,150
Turned out nobody wanted a spy thriller
written by a 22-year-old from Indiana.

1727
01:13:13,475 --> 01:13:17,110
So I looked in the mirror, and I did
what everyone who comes to L.A.

1728
01:13:17,130 --> 01:13:18,770
does as soon as
they cross the city line.

1729
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:27,411
I picked two street names and reinvented
myself as Beverly Wilcox, romance novelist.

1730
01:13:27,530 --> 01:13:29,810
Oh, she's done
very well for herself.

1731
01:13:30,250 --> 01:13:31,250
Yes, she has.

1732
01:13:33,890 --> 01:13:36,390
But Margaret Bunn still
misses that spy thriller.

1733
01:13:36,550 --> 01:13:38,696
Oh, and I had such
a wonderful lead

1734
01:13:38,708 --> 01:13:41,405
character, a renegade
espionage agent named.

1735
01:13:42,170 --> 01:13:43,170
Alfonso.

1736
01:13:46,700 --> 01:13:51,930
Well, I think it's about
time I said goodbye to him.

1737
01:13:58,310 --> 01:14:02,980
Anyway, I just stopped by to tell you how
sorry I am about everything that happened,

1738
01:14:03,110 --> 01:14:04,600
and just wish you all the best.

1739
01:14:04,620 --> 01:14:07,100
I wish you all the luck in the
world for whatever happens next.

1740
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:17,160
Thank you.

1741
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,300
My friends call me Maggie.

1742
01:14:56,470 --> 01:14:58,390
Mom walked to the end
of the street this morning.

1743
01:14:58,570 --> 01:14:59,570
That's great.

1744
01:15:00,020 --> 01:15:01,980
She'll probably be running
a marathon this summer.

1745
01:15:02,250 --> 01:15:03,250
Hope so.

1746
01:15:04,650 --> 01:15:06,970
Sure was nice of Miss Holland
to help us out that day, huh?

1747
01:15:07,650 --> 01:15:08,650
Yeah, nice.

1748
01:15:09,350 --> 01:15:10,350
You talk to her lately?

1749
01:15:11,370 --> 01:15:12,370
Nope.

1750
01:15:12,470 --> 01:15:13,470
Why not?

1751
01:15:16,110 --> 01:15:17,110
It's complicated.

1752
01:15:17,250 --> 01:15:17,750
No, it's not.

1753
01:15:18,110 --> 01:15:20,410
She told me herself that
other guy was a mistake.

1754
01:15:20,590 --> 01:15:21,870
The one she really likes is you.

1755
01:15:22,250 --> 01:15:23,490
Eli, Miss Holland...

1756
01:15:24,550 --> 01:15:25,950
she likes guys with money.

1757
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,206
Yeah, but she didn't know you had all
that stuff when she told me she liked you.

1758
01:15:29,230 --> 01:15:29,410
What?

1759
01:15:29,850 --> 01:15:30,850
Yeah.

1760
01:15:31,010 --> 01:15:33,787
When we went to the hospital,
she'd been looking for you

1761
01:15:33,788 --> 01:15:37,070
all day to show you how she
felt, when she cared about you.

1762
01:15:39,130 --> 01:15:39,530
Okay.

1763
01:15:39,531 --> 01:15:40,531
Wait.

1764
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,230
She said this to you before
you told her anything?

1765
01:15:44,730 --> 01:15:45,050
Yeah.

1766
01:15:45,710 --> 01:15:48,230
And when I told her that you
were rich, she got all weird.

1767
01:15:48,850 --> 01:15:50,010
Like she didn't want to know.

1768
01:15:50,250 --> 01:15:51,250
Between you and me.

1769
01:15:52,030 --> 01:15:54,990
I think she liked you better when she
thought you were just some surf bomb.

1770
01:15:57,210 --> 01:15:58,210
Yes.

1771
01:15:59,290 --> 01:16:00,290
Yes!

1772
01:16:03,870 --> 01:16:06,390
Are you taking a trip today, ma'am,
or are you on your way home?

1773
01:16:07,170 --> 01:16:08,170
Uh-huh.

1774
01:16:09,130 --> 01:16:10,130
Ma'am?

1775
01:16:10,870 --> 01:16:11,870
I don't know.

1776
01:16:18,690 --> 01:16:19,110
Yeah.

1777
01:16:19,210 --> 01:16:19,470
Hi.

1778
01:16:19,690 --> 01:16:20,810
Uh, Natalie Holland, please.

1779
01:16:21,010 --> 01:16:22,850
Miss Holland no
longer works here.

1780
01:16:23,110 --> 01:16:24,306
Well, do you know where she is?

1781
01:16:24,330 --> 01:16:26,410
I'm her friend and first
from the apartment building.

1782
01:16:26,810 --> 01:16:27,810
Oh.

1783
01:16:28,150 --> 01:16:29,670
Is this the surfing janitor?

1784
01:16:30,430 --> 01:16:30,850
Sure.

1785
01:16:31,090 --> 01:16:32,090
Do you know where she is?

1786
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,720
She should be on
her way to the airport.

1787
01:16:34,870 --> 01:16:36,170
Her flight leaves in two hours.

1788
01:16:36,650 --> 01:16:37,070
Oh.

1789
01:16:37,590 --> 01:16:38,590
Come on.

1790
01:16:39,930 --> 01:16:40,930
Hello?

1791
01:16:41,370 --> 01:16:42,370
Hello?

1792
01:16:52,740 --> 01:16:53,160
Hello?

1793
01:16:53,161 --> 01:16:53,420
Hello?

1794
01:16:53,421 --> 01:16:54,421
Ma'am?

1795
01:16:54,620 --> 01:16:55,620
I'll get your bags.

1796
01:17:08,830 --> 01:17:09,830
Thank you.

1797
01:17:10,190 --> 01:17:11,190
Okay.

1798
01:17:16,370 --> 01:17:17,370
Thank you.

1799
01:17:47,220 --> 01:17:47,620
Avery?

1800
01:17:47,700 --> 01:17:48,700
We've got to talk.

1801
01:18:04,130 --> 01:18:04,650
Gate 8.

1802
01:18:04,870 --> 01:18:05,290
Gate 8.

1803
01:18:05,370 --> 01:18:05,730
Uh-huh.

1804
01:18:05,731 --> 01:18:05,930
Thanks.

1805
01:18:06,450 --> 01:18:07,550
The flight from Portland.

1806
01:18:07,710 --> 01:18:08,710
Uh, has it left?

1807
01:18:09,190 --> 01:18:09,670
Uh-huh.

1808
01:18:09,671 --> 01:18:10,671
Who?

1809
01:18:11,130 --> 01:18:11,530
Hey.

1810
01:18:11,770 --> 01:18:12,770
What are you doing here?

1811
01:18:17,450 --> 01:18:17,850
Is that me?

1812
01:18:17,851 --> 01:18:18,851
No.

1813
01:18:22,690 --> 01:18:23,090
No.

1814
01:18:23,570 --> 01:18:24,570
Is that my rain check?

1815
01:18:25,110 --> 01:18:26,750
There's a whole
store in front moving in.

1816
01:18:28,630 --> 01:18:30,150
Weren't you supposed
to be in a plane?

1817
01:18:30,290 --> 01:18:32,350
I just read the
most amazing book.

1818
01:18:33,890 --> 01:18:35,390
I found Alfonso.

1819
01:18:36,270 --> 01:18:36,710
Okay.

1820
01:18:37,110 --> 01:18:37,730
That's great.

1821
01:18:37,870 --> 01:18:38,870
Come on.

1822
01:18:40,670 --> 01:18:41,670
Welcome, everyone.

1823
01:18:42,010 --> 01:18:44,958
And thank you all for
being here at the inaugural

1824
01:18:44,959 --> 01:18:47,830
launch of the new Goldstein
Cooper Publishing Company.

1825
01:18:48,550 --> 01:18:51,093
Many of you know that
this is our very first year

1826
01:18:51,094 --> 01:18:53,490
working with our new
business partner, Mr. John.

1827
01:18:53,570 --> 01:18:54,570
John Cooper.

1828
01:18:56,930 --> 01:19:01,950
And we couldn't be more excited about
our new releases featuring our new line of

1829
01:19:01,951 --> 01:19:04,377
socially relevant
novels for young adults

1830
01:19:04,378 --> 01:19:07,931
being curated by our
very own Natalie Holland.

1831
01:19:09,610 --> 01:19:13,150
And with the help of special
consultant, Elijah Jackson.

1832
01:19:16,510 --> 01:19:19,730
And now for our very
big announcement.

1833
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,730
We have a new author joining
us at the Goldstein Cooper imprint.

1834
01:19:22,731 --> 01:19:26,290
Many of you may remember her earlier
work under a different name, which,

1835
01:19:26,390 --> 01:19:30,150
due to certain contract and legal
restrictions, I am unable to say.

1836
01:19:30,330 --> 01:19:35,190
But, as the poet once said, a rose by any
other name will sell just as many books.

1837
01:19:36,260 --> 01:19:40,590
And here, with her new, very first
exciting political thriller, Alfonso's

1838
01:19:40,591 --> 01:19:43,510
Web, which has already
pre-sold over one million copies.

1839
01:19:44,210 --> 01:19:45,770
Please welcome Margaret Bunn.

1840
01:19:49,940 --> 01:19:50,860
Thank you.

1841
01:19:50,900 --> 01:19:52,420
Thank you all so much.

1842
01:19:52,660 --> 01:19:53,060
Um.

1843
01:19:53,061 --> 01:19:55,641
I just can't tell you what
a thrill it is to be back

1844
01:19:55,642 --> 01:19:58,260
working with such wonderful
publishers once again.

1845
01:19:58,440 --> 01:20:03,964
And a very special thank
you to a young lady without

1846
01:20:03,965 --> 01:20:07,240
whom Margaret Bunn
might never have left Indiana.

1847
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:09,280
Natalie Holland.

1848
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:12,780
Thank you.

1849
01:20:12,781 --> 01:20:13,660
Thank you all for coming.

1850
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:14,720
And come on up.

1851
01:20:15,185 --> 01:20:16,260
Thank you for coming.

1852
01:20:16,261 --> 01:20:17,261
Oh, wait.

1853
01:20:20,740 --> 01:20:24,066
So, with, um, Beverly
Wilcox retiring, it looks like

1854
01:20:24,067 --> 01:20:26,920
there's going to be a gap in
the romantic fiction market.

1855
01:20:27,580 --> 01:20:28,980
What are we going
to do about that?

1856
01:20:29,220 --> 01:20:30,827
I don't know much
about fiction, but I got

1857
01:20:30,828 --> 01:20:32,560
a pretty good idea
about the romantic part.

1858
01:20:32,860 --> 01:20:33,860
Oh?

1859
01:20:35,180 --> 01:20:36,180
Chapter one?
