My, my, sweet life, we're makin' every day Ooh,

we, your sweet watchin' the sun as it fades Bah, bah, bah,

bah, some kind of beautiful Bah, bah, bah, bah,

some kind of beautiful

They're playing at the Grandview tomorrow?

They sure are.

What time?

It's at 8 o'clock.

No. I would love to go, but I finally have my Saturday at the pop-up.

I've got jewelry to sell, people picking up orders.

Wait, she's not a yellow.

I wish I could go with you, and I haven't been to a concert in forever.

Aw, that's okay. Speaking of...

you'll never guess what i found last night what not another gray hair no take

a look it has been nearly three months and i realized i never gave tim back his

shirt which then reminded me i never gave back sean's water bottle which

reminded me here alexandra

brown is that all stuff from your exes That's not even the issue.

Oh, uh, wait. I have to go leave a note for my delivery guy.

Holding on.

It's not just that I've kept the stuff.

Oh, that is a problem.

It's the stuff itself.

I think I may be having a relationship revelation.

Revelation?

Okay. Well, that sounds intriguing.

What? That noise, Jack.

Just needs oil.

It's fine.

It's old and it's creaky, which you will be too if you don't get out more.

Come on, it's Friday night.

Have dinner with your little sister.

I would, but I gotta pick up hours for the bonus competition.

Okay, I don't think you're listening to me because what could be more important

than hanging out with your sister?

Jack?

Hello, Earth to Jack.

Are you still there? Because last time I checked, you left me.

Oh, no, hold on.

I'm at Note Ladies.

Ah, good luck.

Every single time.

Hey, did I tell you that she left me a multiple-choice note asking which

cupcake flavor I would like during Driver Appreciation Week? Aw, that's,

like, really thoughtful.

Thanks.

What? Yeah, but I would like to just be able to do my job without having to

think about frosting flavors.

Hmm. And what does that make you?

So is there any chance that you could come over and help me figure out me?

Because I think that I rerouted the minute I saw the box of chain.

Aww.

He didn't buzz me.

Does he even read my notes?

Looks good in shorts, though.

I guess.

But he's still a curmudgeon.

I'm not a curmudgeon, Andy.

Jack, it's cupcakes.

No, I just... Listen, I'm on a tight schedule, and I don't have time for all

the instructions and baked good quizzes, all right? Well, I bet you had time to

eat them, though. Yeah, what am I, a monk?

Chocolate with strawberry frosting, obviously.

Oh, just like Mom used to make.

The same Mom who told you to look after your little sister in Big City.

Fine, dinner, 7 o'clock, my place. But if I lose this competition to Arena, I

will never hear the end of it.

In Russian.

Okay, here we go.

Brace yourself.

Oh, Tim, the musician.

Oh, Jonathan, the urban hiker.

Oh, Kevin, the card shark.

Oh. Crystal deodorant.

From Michael, the hot herbalist.

You loathe heavy metal. You don't like to walk fast, much less hike.

You thought Poker Face and Texas Hold'em were just songs.

And natural products did not work for you.

Wow! The truth comes out.

See, every item in that box represents how I bent over backwards to make those

relationships work.

How much of myself I...

Lost to make them happy.

Mm-hmm.

What is it? Just say it. Well, I don't want to sound like a therapist or

anything. Come on.

Therapize away.

Well, isn't it just so crazy that your whole MO is creating this exact right

piece of jewelry for each customer?

You know, tuning into their needs.

But I don't pay attention to my own needs.

Wow, seriously.

What is that?

Don't beat yourself up. We all do it to some extent.

We don't ask for what we want, and we get mad when we don't get it.

If only I could design my life like I design my jewelry.

Hmm.

Hmm.

So I think you should reconsider coming to game night tomorrow.

Another night of settlers in Cartagna with your friends calling me a resource

hog. I'm good.

Remember Sarah at my office?

She's like beautiful, smart, funny.

Yeah, she's great.

But you know what's also great?

Oh, this couch.

Come on, you know those setups never work out.

Well, maybe they could work out if you weren't so guarded. You know, show a

little bit more of that teddy bear underneath that polar bear exterior. I

know, it is still there. Yeah, teddy bears get kicked in their stuffing too

often. Polar bears.

Well, they're survivors.

And they have a better diet.

This is going to sound crazy.

Crazier than rubbing a crystal under my arms for some guy.

Okay. There's a Gen Z-er in my office who showed me this video trend on

PicBite called Fire and Aspire. Oh, wow.

No, see, I am way too millennial for this already.

Listen, it's an all-generational trend.

You do this.

fire and aspire thing where you manifest a new mindset to be ready for the

connection you really want so you get rid of the old like literally and

symbolically and then you call in the new uh okay but how does that work

you burn stuff oh that's the fire part and the perfect solution to your box of

shame and then you focus on the qualities of the guy that's right for

you the aspire part

Look, this woman did it.

Now she's engaged.

Wait, so you want me to take dating advice from some lady who has a live

chicken in her profile photo?

Hey, she always wanted a farmer and she manifested one.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Okay, if nothing else, you just get a chance to say out loud what you really

want. Just put it out there.

Hmm? Hmm?

You got a fire pit outside, right? I do.

Come on, bring your box. Let's go burn it.

I just want someone to see in you what I do.

Really?

What's that?

A cranky workaholic with relationship PTSD?

A hardworking guy who's using his bonus money to pay off his broke sister's last

school loan.

Don't get too ahead of yourself.

I have to win the company contest first.

Ouch.

You got this. I mean, don't you just have to deliver packages on time or

whatever? Yeah. And customer service.

What?

Shouldn't people just be happy that their stuff gets to them on time and in

one piece?

Oh, gee. You know, with that attitude, how can you lose?

Hey!

And as far as your romance PTSD, I have hope for a full recovery.

Even if you don't.

Whatever. Cheers.

Okay, let's do it.

Activate that fire in us fire.

I feel ridiculous.

I mean, this is ridiculous, right?

She landed a literal prince of an extremely small country, but still.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh.

Goodbye, Eric's fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons rulebook, which I tried to

memorize. Girl.

I know.

I know.

Okay, okay. Okay, now call in what you do want.

I don't want someone who's quoting pretend wizard rules. I want someone who

can quote classic literature.

Yes!

Own it!

Alex?

Are you two doing Fire and Aspire?

I saw it on Flickram. Hey Brooke. Yes we are. Come join us.

See? I told you it's all generations.

I have my speaker.

Kyle can manifest as of dinner tonight.

We're running with the shadows of the night So baby take my hand and

be alright Surrounding all your dreams

all right who is next sorry not sorry tim i want someone who appreciates

heartfelt lyrics from a power pop girl yeah

Bye-bye Mike's anniversary gift for a floral bouquet making workshop.

It was actually really sweet It was so I could make my own bouquets and he didn't

have to buy them. Yeah, that's just lazy time to burn it I

want to take a class with someone and learn

something new maybe photography or a language or

A romance language?

Oh, yes.

That is deep. Put it out there.

Oh. Oh. Oh, Rowan.

No. I didn't need a framed copy of your Mensa induction letter to show my

friends and family.

I... EQ is great, but I am looking for someone with an off-the-charts

EQ. And emotional intelligence for the win.

And as for you, Noah the Neophiliac. What? Yeah, I asked that too. It's

somebody who has to have all the newest cool stuff.

Oh, okay. He thought it was kind to pass off his last generation devices.

Oh. Nope.

Right, I probably shouldn't burn this. Yeah, no.

I'll take it. I'll take it for Kyle because he still has a flip phone and

it's not the cool kind.

I mean, new is fine, but I want someone who appreciates the classics.

Ooh, I like the vibe for vintage.

Ooh. That's good.

Wait, is that what Kyle and I have? A vibe for vintage? Vibe for vintage?

Careful what you wish for, ladies.

The Jeff Stevens Player Digest?

He printed off his own fan book for a baseball recreational league

on my printer.

Yes, do it. This has got to go. Ready? Yes. Burn it!

I'm tired of sitting on the sidelines. I want someone who will cheer other people

on and support them in their endeavors.

Oh, like a coach.

A hot coach.

Like a hot, sweaty coach.

Sweaty, sweet coach.

That's good, too.

That's it.

I could actually...

It felt really good to say out loud what I really wanted.

Yeah. That was illuminating.

I didn't realize we had so many of the same must-haves. Except you like them

sweet and I like them edgy.

I guess I have fired and aspired.

Whoa. What was that?

It wasn't me.

Oh. I guess it was this thing?

Kyle's never going to figure this out.

Speaking of, it's getting very cold out here.

Good night, ladies.

Good night. Good night, Brooke.

Thanks for bringing the music. Thanks for the wine.

Thank you.

Anytime.

I'll come over for coffee in the morning.

Can you help me pack up to get ready for my pop-up?

Of course.

I can't wait to see what you manifested.

Morning, Irina.

Okay.

So brave of you to show up on the weekend you go down in flames.

Happy Saturday to you.

Good luck to you, too.

Hey, Ed.

How's it going, Jack?

Oh, you know, Irina just placed a curse on my cow, but other than that, I'll go.

On your cow?

Mm-hmm.

You got a place studying again?

Yeah. Grad school is wrecking me.

What's up with that?

Yesterday I routed three packages to the arts district that were supposed to go

to the arena district.

Oh. Yeah.

One more mistake and I'm toast.

Sorry, man.

Listen, if there's anything I can do, let me know. I mean, yeah, if you win

this bonus thing, you think you can put in a good word for me? You know I will.

Okay, boys, it's done and delivered, huh? Let's go.

Bonus!

Look, I like Irina, but I swear she's one energy drink away from a seizure.

You got this.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack! Jack, hold on. I missed these.

Uh, they're all going to the same address. 56 Clark Avenue. Do me a favor.

Toss them in the back. Can't let her get too far ahead.

Okay, here we go. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. No, I got it. Just lift with your legs

Time is the enemy. We're good. We're good

Too

close for comfort

Purple. Huh.

Huh.

Well, note lady's got a special delivery today.

That's weird.

You're definitely going to sell out at the pop-ups. You didn't get named finest

in Columbus for nothing.

i better sell out considering how much rent is for one day of a pod can you say

last year was the last year of renting pop-ups yes but i need a plan so when

are you going to make one oh i have the problem is i have like five plans See,

my mother thinks I should stick to consignments while my sisters say that I

need to mass produce and my turquoise supplier, who is also an astrologist,

thinks I should move to the Caribbean and Tim told me that I should just go

back to law school because I am too smart to be a jewelry designer.

Which I think was supposed to be some kind of compliment.

What do you want to do?

I... don't know.

I already tried manifesting my...

Perfect person. I don't have the energy to manifest the perfect version of my

job today.

Hey, your delivery guy's here.

The one with the calves?

Ooh.

Maybe he has my label maker.

Thank you!

Flip curl?

Something, I guess.

This is weird.

What? I definitely didn't order this.

There's no address.

Really? Must be another Alex Brown. Is that a woman's shirt?

Man's. Guy Alex Brown.

Powerhouses of pop.

Like we were singing last night?

For Mr.

Alex Brown?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay.

Maybe, uh, Brooke sent this to, um, encourage me or something.

I mean, I could ask her, but... Megan?

What?

Okay, I'm gonna go get Brooke.

Sticky notes.

Megan? I'm coming!

Hurry! Hurry? What?

What? It's a shaving kit.

A vintage shaving kit.

Did you have anything to do with this?

Honestly, no.

Do you think you... Manifested my perfect man and then accidentally

received his delivery?

I think I did.

Yes! Yes, you did it.

It's destiny.

This is crazy.

But look at all of this stuff. It is too on the nose. It's like...

It's like fate mailed it to me.

So what are you waiting for? Go get him. Oh, we don't know where he is. Somebody

has to know.

Um... Chromagin.

Oh, he's here!

Wait! It's missed now, guys!

You made a mistake!

Hi.

Oh, boy.

Hi. It's me, your favorite customer.

I'm not here to scold you about how you never acknowledge my cupcake.

Just to tell you that you made a mistake, but it's a good one, so no

worries. Okay. What?

Wrong, Alex Brown. See, I am Alex Brown, obviously, but not this Alex Brown, so

it's a mistake. Right.

I highly doubt that I made a mistake.

Okay, well, somebody did.

What?

Ed.

Look, I'm sorry. I will take that package. I'll get it to you. No!

Whoa.

I actually, I need this package. And I just need the real address from you, and

I can deliver it myself, and you can be on your way.

I know you're busy.

Very, very busy. I mean, no time to smile or wave or acknowledge my notes.

So, I'm actually, I'm doing you a favor.

Lady, ma'am, Miss, Ms.

Brown. That package is the property of Express Now, and I'm going to need to

take it. Oh, come on. You seem like a very nice guy with very kind legs.

Eyes. Kind eyes.

Thank you.

And that package belongs to our one true love, which is never met, but is

destined to be with.

Yes, destined.

And you're not going to stand in the way at her only chance at happiness, are

you? Are you?

Okay, it's not my only chance. You don't know that?

You're not going to let go of that, are you?

Nope.

So, what do you say?

I know the manifesting thing may seem kind of woo-woo, but you have to admit,

I mean, all of the things in this box are... Yeah.

Well, the answer is still no.

Okay.

You also may think I am the only one, but I'm here to tell you I am not. Uh

-uh. There are lots of us.

There was the cheesemonger and the lady with the chicken and the

princess. Yeah.

A princess.

Got it. Moving on.

The package is still my responsibility. I need to deliver it personally.

No!

Ladies, I'm going to have to ask you to stop doing that.

Yes. Sorry. I'm in the middle of my workday and a very critical point in

time of an internal competition. Wait.

Alex can go with you.

No, absolutely not. That is not how this works. I can't. I have that pop-up. Oh,

please. I can work the pop-up until you find the right Alex Brown.

I don't have anything until the concert tonight.

I mean, how many Alex Browns could there possibly be on your route, right? The

amount of Alex Browns isn't the issue here. She's not coming with me. You

would do that for me? For you?

For me?

For every woman who needs to believe their destiny will deliver what she asks

for.

You're the best.

Can

I at

least rerun the barcode?

Yes! Mm-hmm.

Just the barcode.

So generous. Thank you.

Oh, I need to change. I'll be real quick.

What? Wait. What do you mean you have to change? Of course she has to change. I

can't wear it.

Hang tight.

Hang tight.

Okay.

Hey, Jack.

Hey. You're not going to help me, right? I can't lose this job.

Well, Ed, you're in luck because when I scan it, look, nothing comes up on the

system.

Just makes this sound.

Huh. That's a weird noise.

Yeah. Everything about this is weird.

So what are we supposed to do here? Well, besides... Nope, lady, there are

three other Alex Browns on your route, so it should be a quick fix. I will text

you the addresses right now. All right, fine.

Dude, thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

You're welcome.

Okay, I'm ready.

Did I forget to do my eyebrow again? Oh, man.

No, um... Okay, there's three other Alex Browns on my list. One's actually on

your street, so... Oh, I totally forgot about him and all of this. I actually

got his pizza once.

No way.

I know, this is kind of weird, and it's not something that I would normally do,

but I had this revelation recently, and I may have manifested us meeting.

Wait, aren't you the lady that took my pizza?

I didn't realize it wasn't mine.

See, I order a lot of takeout, and my dinner dash guy, well, we kind of became

friends. Of course you did.

Anyway, when he saw the name, he just automatically brought it to me, and I

only realized after the fact, and I made sure it got back to you with a little

apology sticky note.

But you didn't order it, so how could it be yours?

Now you took this other guy's package.

You've got issues, Lady Alex Brown.

If that's even your name.

That's not...

Rude! Wait, I'm so glad it's not him. So we, uh, drive now to the other two

Alex's?

Oh, wow.

Uh, is it okay if I move some of these boxes so I can sit? No passengers

allowed. If you're spotted in my truck, well, that just can't happen.

Okay, where do I sit?

It's only two addresses.

Couldn't you just do them first and then I'll be out of your hair? Oh, yeah,

sure. These delivery routes they give me, they're probably just suggestions,

right? Should we pick up pumpkin-sized lattes, too? Maybe mani-pedis on the

way? You know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit? But the highest form of

intelligence.

Oscar Wilde.

Look, I have a job to do, and I'm not messing up my delivery rating,

especially not today on the last weekend of the contest.

You could have just let me deliver the package myself, and then it would have

messed your timing up and stood in the way of love. Oh, right.

Love.

Don't roll your eyes at me. I didn't.

Uh, your voice did.

Well, you got me there.

Uh, Reena just pulled further ahead.

We gotta get moving.

I would like a little

oxygen.

Fine. Just, uh, sit here and, uh, just keep a low profile.

So, if you beat Arena with best service... When I beat Arena?

When you win some sort of cash prize?

Well, it is not the lottery, but it is the company's 50th anniversary contest,

so it's big enough.

So, you have 4.75 out of 5 stars, and that's enough to keep ahead of Irina. It

was. Until somebody slowed me down.

Sorry about that.

You know, I... I just... I can't believe that you're willing to do all of this

for... for... You can't even say it? For love?

For a chance at love.

You know, or for a chance at something that might really disappoint you.

Yeah. It's worth a try.

Go, go, go. I'm going.

Help.

Open this myself.

Hmm.

So, it looks like a significant weight is based off the friendliness factor in

reviews. Well, Arena's not exactly a sparkle factor either, so we're equal

there. But...

You could put her out of reach for good if you just... I don't know, stopped

being so... So... So what?

You.

Ouch. I'm a personalization expert. It's what I do with my jewelry.

Look, let me help you.

You're helping me, however grudgingly. All people really care about is

receiving their package promptly and in one piece. How much does anybody really

care about a perky delivery man? Well, what do the contest rules say?

What percentage is based off of customer service?

Twenty-five.

Twenty-five.

Don't worry.

You will never, never reach the level of Perky, but with a few little

tweaks... Fine.

I just need to borrow this really quickly.

Why? Why do you need that?

Watch and learn.

I don't want to learn anything.

Good morning.

Hi, I'm your delivery satisfaction consultant.

What a gorgeous fall day we're having.

Delivery satisfaction what?

Exactly. We just want to make sure that our customers are happy with the service

we provide.

Okay.

So what are you gonna do about this wind?

Your delivery man is concerned that at this time of the year with all the

gorgeous foliage that too many leaves are going to be falling all over your

packages and that beautiful porch of yours.

Oh, well, it's got a roof.

Yeah, it has a roof. But it doesn't have any screens.

And your Express Now man, Mr. O'Keefe, wanted to ask if you had a preference

for placement.

Isn't that right, Mr. O'Keefe?

Yes. I mean, yes. Um, I care.

Well, um, sure then.

Uh, how about placing the package underneath that rocket chair for a

little extra protection?

That is a great idea.

Are you taking that down, Mr. O'Keefe? I got it locked in right here.

Any chance you can do my compost?

Oh, I already think about it. You know what? Honestly, it is no trouble at all.

He is more than happy to bring in your compost bin from the curb on Tuesdays

because Mr.

Johnson's back has been killing him. Not a problem. But we need to stick on

schedule. Oh, yes, we do. But remember to go onto the Express Now app and write

Mr. O'Keefe.

Life's not... Express Now.

Take out his compost?

Really? Should I sweep his gutters, too? Well, let's see if it worked.

Okay. You gave me five stars for friendliness and attention to detail.

Huh.

Exactly.

See? Personalization is my biz.

Oh.

If I still have a business after today.

Megan, thank you so much for all your help. Truly. Period.

But the sign is upside down. Exclamation point.

You can join me up here if you like.

Maybe stay low or something.

Oh, well, thank you. I promise I won't let it go to my head.

I think your vehicle is talking to you.

She's old, but she's got character.

They're replacing all these beauties with modern, newer versions, and I'm

holding out as long as I can.

You didn't strike me as the sentimental type. I just don't see the point in

replacing something just to replace it. You know, sometimes it can be a little

tricky.

It's like buying something new just because it's new.

Yeah, I agree.

Actually, a lot of pieces in my designs are reclaimed or from thrift stores.

Hmm.

What? Nothing.

What?

Nothing.

You know that country is the fastest growing genre of music right now?

Quantity, quality.

This song is called That Big Old Truck.

Sounds like some guy who's fallen in love with his pickup.

So we'll do the second Alex Brown next. Yeah?

You sure?

I want to get through this before the morning is done. Yeah.

You didn't have to turn off your music.

Oh, that's all right. I wouldn't want you to listen to anything real and

authentic when you're preparing to meet your, um, what'd you call it?

Ah, manifestation.

Yes.

Of my heart's desire.

I love fall.

I bet my Alex has a wreath he made himself with pine cones and acorns and

twigs. But he has a set of antlers in there, too.

Hey, look, I know I've let it go this far, but I really should be the one

holding this. Uh-uh.

I'm Express Now, and this package is Express Now property.

Maybe, but technically this package was delivered to me, and possession is nine

-tenths of the law, so... Fine.

This is the house here anyway.

Who's that?

That's my sister.

I mean, no, this isn't my sister. This is her friend.

Oh.

Sorry.

You're not going to reply to that? No, not.

Because she doesn't need my bad relationship mojo, and neither do you.

Go. And please be quick.

Okay. But put a pin in that mojo thing, because we are definitely circling back

on that.

I don't know.

I don't think so.

wish me luck luck i uh i thought that this was supposed to be destiny

i'm actually i'm looking for

an alex brown he's over there uh just in the plaid shirt oh okay thank you so

much for your time plaid plaid is the word somewhere over there there's

a man in plaid i don't like plaid You better give me five stars, because I'm

losing some serious time with this detour.

I think that's him.

What's happening right now?

I know you're in a hurry, but I don't know what to say to him, and I don't

want to word babble all over him. Yeah, that is kind of your thing. See?

This is why I never make the first move.

Okay, well, that actually... Well, that makes sense, then.

What?

Well, if you never go after what you want...

And you only wait for them to go after what they want.

Then I never get what I want in a relationship.

Ding.

This is my weekend of revelations.

Okay. Thank you.

I'll be quick.

Okay.

Mr. Brown?

Yeah?

I know this is gonna be strange, but I'm part of the customer satisfaction

program, and I just want to make sure that this mislabeled package gets to the

right person.

So is that mine?

Oh, I hope so.

Oh, Alex!

Sorry, Dad.

Wait, you're Alex Brown?

Yeah.

Uh, I thought this package might have been for him.

Junior?

Unless there's some kind of ball in there. Wait, Junior?

Uh-huh?

So, you're also Alex Brown?

Yeah, yeah, I am. Hey, so, uh, moving on?

Oh, wait, you don't have to leave, do you?

I do. I don't want to slow down his deliveries.

Oh, that's a shame. I was just about to ask if you wanted to go for a stroll on

this lovely fall day.

Um, what about Mrs.

Alex Brown?

She's been gone for a while now.

Oh, I'm...

I'm so sorry. My condolences. Oh, no, she hasn't passed.

She's just gone from my life.

Oh. Oh.

Well,

actually,

you can go on without me, Mr.

Alex Brown Sr., and I am going to go for a little stroll.

Yep. Gone and definitely forgotten.

Well, I guess it's good to move on, you know, and once you've processed the

pain.

Our hardest times can be the most fertile soil for emotional growth, don't

you think?

Yeah.

Sure. What you said. So, uh, walk?

I don't suppose that EQ over IQ rings any bells, does it?

Who's EQ?

Right. Uh, see, we actually have to hit the road, but you have a nice day.

Take care.

Okay.

Not a word.

I wouldn't dare.

Oops. Sorry.

I'm never gonna get it.

Give me just one minute.

Hey, kiddo.

Here, kick it back to me, but this time use the inside of your foot. Yeah.

Like this?

Yes, very good. That was great. Now, remember, use your laces when you want

power, but the inside of your foot when you want control.

There we go.

Hey, O'Keefe.

You keep playing with your ball while Irina takes the gold, huh?

Nice work. Thanks. See ya.

We'll see who laughs last.

You speak Russian.

I wanted to find out if she was cursing me or not. And shocker.

She was.

Also learning French.

Benefits of alone time on the job.

Uh, excuse me.

You can't put Exo, your express guy, on my deliveries.

It's what wins them over. It's about the personal touch.

Ooh, yeah. I'll stick with efficiency.

You're now a quarter of a star behind.

Just let me help.

I can load the dolly, and you can deliver the packages.

You're not even supposed to touch the packages.

If anything interferes with a customer's delivery... Oh, come on. It'll be fine.

I promise.

And funny enough, it's actually my middle name.

Alexandra. Delivered. And done. Brown.

That's a mouthful. What is that?

Scandinavian? I don't know.

It's totally against the rules. And how many rules have you already broken

today?

A few.

And if you want to get rid of me before lunch, then you'll let me help move this

along.

Okay, fine.

But no more sticky notes.

Vision, future unfolding,

wide open.

Oh, I want it all, want it all. Keep it 100, want it all, want

it all. So give it to me, come on.

And let the feeling take over.

Mr. Brown, it just so happens that I love classic literature, too, and I

thought maybe we could read together in a park.

I can feel your eyes wincing.

How do you do that?

Do you have any better ideas?

Yeah, that I should probably sit this one out.

Because of the whole bad mojo thing?

You can open up to me. Come on, I promise. I'm a good listener.

And this is it.

This is it?

Yes, literally. Just said that.

No, no.

This.

Is it? This is the last Alex Brown on your route.

This is... Him.

Yeah, I guess so.

Hey, no, no, no, no, no. It is fall, it is fall, and I am... I'm sweating.

You're going to be fine.

Wave that envelope under my arms.

Please, please.

Look, you just need to be more natural.

Less intense.

You're right.

You're right.

And you don't have to do all the customer satisfaction stuff.

Just be yourself.

You're perfect just the way you are.

For the person that you are supposed to be with.

Now, come on.

You got this.

You're not really a curmudgeon, you know that?

Yeah, I know.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Sit.

He's just a cute little guy.

Yeah, tell that to Donnie Spinelli. He's got the route across town.

Lost two toes to a crazed pug.

I am so sorry. Hey, come here, you.

Us brown men can be very protective.

And a little drooly.

Wait, he's Alex Brown?

Rocco?

No. Though some say there is a resemblance.

Alex Brown, at your service.

So you're going to think this is some kind of wild coincidence, but... No, no,

I don't believe in coincidence.

Something brought you to my doorstep? Well, then I believe that it's meant to

be.

In fact, I think we know each other.

Right. Sorry.

I have to ask.

Hold on. I think I've got it.

Yes.

10.30 mass.

What?

You come with your husband and five children, right?

Oh, so not right.

I'm guessing this isn't yours.

Not that I know of.

All right. Thanks for your time.

How is this possible?

What? You have a doppelganger with five kids?

That was our last Alex Brown. So whose package is this?

I don't know.

I think I need to take it back to the dispatch center and it looks like you

might need to... Give up?

No way.

I am finally claiming what I want and I'm gonna get it.

Are you cleaning this? Yes, please.

So let me get something straight.

These guys, your exes, none of that worked out, but you still want to keep

trying?

Of course.

Don't of course me. You literally burned everything they gave you in a literal

fire. You don't need to use literal twice. Yeah?

Chips, yes.

And even though today's been a complete bust, you still have hope that there's

love out there for you.

Jack, that's what hope is. It's believing that good things are possible,

even if they haven't happened yet.

Case in point, salt and vinegar. It's my favorite.

It's a sign.

Uh-huh.

So, this is our circling back moment.

What happened to make you like this?

Like what?

Nothing. I just... Nothing.

Got dumped?

No, I did not.

Definitely.

Okay, fine. Yeah, I got dumped.

Everybody gets dumped at least once in their life.

Yeah.

But this one, this one really hurt.

You were vulnerable.

You put yourself out there.

You did everything you could think of to make it work.

And when it ended, well, you promised yourself that you would never

let someone get that close again.

How did you know that?

I get people.

It's my thing.

You know what?

You're gonna be okay.

Am I?

Yes.

We both are.

Hey, Meg. Hey!

Don't panic. All is well.

Mostly just a small prostate issue.

What do you mean, issue?

Well, I think I might have done a little mislabeling. I just saw the little

sapphire pendant for $14.80, and I think it was supposed to be $148.

Yay.

Uh... Oh, look.

I don't want to mess up your bonus, but is... I'm good.

Padre Brown, you give me five stars.

And your help earlier, well, cut me through my route. Faster than expected.

Are you driving by the arts district by any chance?

Drop the sandwich.

Get in the van.

Let's go. It's not far from my afternoon deliveries.

Okay, thanks.

Meg, we're on our way.

Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry.

No, honestly, it is all my fault. I threw you in here without any prep and

without any thought, and it's kind of like my life right now.

No, Ed, that's not possible.

Okay, but why did it end up on my truck? Now that you've run out of Mr. Browns,

he's not going to take the package back, is he?

No, he's actually on the phone with dispatch right now.

Who says there are no more nice guys around?

Guys.

Nice guys.

Yes. Very nice.

Uh-oh.

What, Alex?

What? I get it.

I do.

But... You put exactly what you wanted out there, and you've got to follow

through. Of course. I know that.

Okay. Hey, that was Ed.

Does he know where the real Alex Brown lives?

Generally. The issue is it could be any Alex Brown in Columbus, not just the

ones on my route.

That's good news, right?

You still out there?

Yeah. Just we can't have Ed risk pinging the whole system on a deep dive.

And things are bad because?

Because Jack and Ed are risking their jobs doing this.

Yeah.

I have an idea.

What?

Maybe you could ask Irina if there's an Alex Brown on her route.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

What is happening?

She might recognize you from the park, and if she sees me here doing more

things that are obviously not work, if she reports me... Oh, okay.

Get under the table. Quick.

You. I know who you are.

Alex Brown, yes?

Yes. Perfect.

I think you will be the secret to my success.

I

know

all about this, uh... It wasn't his fault.

Huh? I got him into this. He was really nice about it. Well, maybe not really

nice, more cranky and sarcastic, but aren't we all like that, you know, when

we've been wounded, and don't we all deserve a second chance?

I mean, he's helping me get one, and I want him to have one, and please don't

mess this up for him, otherwise I don't... You babble like Brooke in

Balakovo. Oh, yeah, I mean, I've heard that before. Not specifically that body

of water, but, you know, the general idea.

My turn to speak, please, and thank you, as I only take eight minutes for lunch

break.

My husband is feeling very lonely, missing me while I work long hours.

Can you take this photo and put it in a keychain locket?

So this isn't about... This is about jewelry.

You are finest in Columbus?

My man deserves the finest.

Huh? The finest.

Of course he does.

Mm-hmm. Um...

Actually, here is my website, and you can go on there and fill out some

questions that'll help me personalize it for you.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

Hi. How can I help you?

She didn't come out.

Come in. That was close.

Oh, man.

Thank you. You're welcome. I got another customer outfit.

Thank you, also, for, um, saying what you said.

You know, not the part about being sarcastic and cranky, but that bit about

second chances.

That was nice.

I... I... It's fine.

You're welcome. I... I... So now how do we find the addresses of the other Alex

Browns? Are you sure we can't do, like, a teensy thing of the system? I'm sorry.

Megan, we have already wasted too much of his time.

Wait, wait, wait. You know what?

Ed and I might not be able to find the other Alex Browns, but I know somebody

who can.

Seriously?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, Megan, how long can you stay without touching any of the price tags?

No promises, but I just need to leave here by 6.30 to get to the concert, but

until then, I'm yours.

Okay.

That's great.

Just remember, I do still have to work. Yes, of course. I'll help. Come on.

Okay, go!

Let's go.

Hey, express now.

Uh, you got a delivery for me today?

1918 Missouri.

Yeah, hold on.

This?

Yeah, okay.

Okay, now, give it a go.

Smile at this guy.

With all of my teeth.

You're whole now.

Uh, thanks.

You're welcome.

And, uh, have a great day.

And happy fall!

Sure, yeah.

Thanks again, man.

Wow,

that's a start.

Yeah, was that good? Really?

Yeah, it was really good. It was almost human.

I think I'm starting to feel it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Jack!

Jack! Haley!

What are you doing here?

Did you track my phone again?

Mm-hmm.

Boundaries, Haley.

Oh, don't be so dramatic. I mean, someone's got to keep an eye on you.

What if you drove off a bridge and... I had to meet no lady in the flesh. I'm

Haley, Jack's sister. Hi, I'm Alex. It's nice to meet you.

Here are the other Alex Browns.

What? I pared it down for you. So nobody dead, I took out all the females, and I

nixed any Alex Browns who had no standing warrant.

Wow, this is fantastic.

Thank you.

How many had a warrant?

Only one.

So that leaves just a few Alex Browns left in Columbus.

Haley works in real estate.

So if this guy's rented, bought, or even toured a listing, it is on that paper.

Okay. I gather data for, like, corporate overlords and... Yeah, in an office with

a computer where you could have just emailed that.

Can I see it?

I miss out on all the fun. I want to be a part of this soulmate search.

I like her.

Okay, yeah.

Thank you.

So, we're going to have to get going.

So soon.

I love your bracelets.

Oh, I love your ring. Wait, is it custom-made? Uh, yeah, it is. You should

come by my shop later. Or pod.

Oh, fun. Is that, like, a pop-up?

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what to do with my business, and so I'm just

renting. Okay, moving on, please. You know, I think it is so great that you're

pursuing your passion. I really want out of my job, but I gotta pay the bills,

right? I have this student loan that is, like, killing me, but this guy's gonna

help me with that. Okay.

Thanks, sis.

Wait, so he's helping to pay off your student loans? If he wins the contest

bonus. Look, I'm going to keep some of it, all right?

But there won't be any bonus at all if I let Irina get ahead of me. So?

He doesn't want you to know how much of a mushy sweetheart he actually is.

Oh, there have been signs under that crusty exterior.

He's like a soft loaf of bread.

So squishy.

Ooh, that's his moving on face.

Oh, it was so lovely meeting you. You too. Thank you.

Thanks, sis. Bye.

Good luck finding your soulmates.

So it's actually really touching.

It's about how his truck brings back all his memories about breakups

and... First dates and sunsets and driving home their new baby.

Oh. So it's not just a song about a guy in love with his truck, huh?

So much more.

You were right. I was wrong about this one.

Maybe you also don't need such a long list of must-haves for what you need in

a guy.

What do you mean by such a long list?

How many must-haves do you have?

Okay, so My ex she did dump me But the truth is

I think I might have known that we weren't right for each other for a while

before that Might have known yeah at the time

Forget about it. It was rough Looking back on it. I think I knew

She wouldn't share her food with me

Ugh, I hate that.

Retroactive thanks again for the sandwich earlier.

Not a problem.

I like sharing.

So, yeah, that's my one thing. That's my must-have.

You just have one must-have?

Don't you think that's setting the bar a bit low?

Yeah, but think about it. Somebody who doesn't want to share their food with

you tends to not want to share other things with you, too.

more important things, you know, so I guess what I'm looking for in a person

is, I don't know, generosity of spirit, I guess.

So it is one thing, yes, but it's, well, it's also more.

Okay, so how about this? I will up my list

of non-negotiables if you reduce yours.

Oh, maybe I should, but it's a slippery slope, right?

I compromise a little, and then a little more, and then suddenly I'm making my

own flower bouquets while my mental boyfriend plays D&D.

In other words... You have to see this through.

Yes. That.

I have to.

Okay, if we do this together, I might just be able to meet my quota and still

win the contest.

And you can meet your...

multi-faceted manifestation yeah it's not

happy ever after it's everything express

now more like impress wow looks nothing like that get back inside just

kidding why why no that looks like a red flag

anyways to be honest

Okay.

Yes, he's not home

Stickers

read it

Hi, how can I help you?

Hi. Coffee for you. Thank you.

Sorry. The wrong address.

Have a great day.

You too.

Bye. Thanks.

I can't believe you do this every day.

That's right.

No matter what surprises, the weather throws my way.

No wonder you don't have time for my sticky notes.

And she finally gets it.

I think we've hit every Alex Brown in Columbus.

Well, except for that one who wasn't home.

So, I guess he's the one, right?

I guess.

Okay, well, that's the end of my route.

And it looks like I'm finishing the day three quarters of a star ahead of

Marina.

Nice. Pretty good.

Maybe showers should blow over pretty soon.

Do you want to go back and see if the last Alex Brown's home yet?

Yeah, and so we go back to the last Alex Brown.

Yeah.

What time is it?

6.15.

Why? Uh, Megan, I have to go relieve her.

Let's go.

Excuse me, are you Alex?

Uh, I am.

Honey, I think this is the Alex Brown that made my necklace.

Eva. No way, you remember the piece?

And her name. It was very memorable. Your husband did a great job.

He completely filled up the personal details based on the form.

Obviously, I'd like to take all the credit, but it really was you. You took

everything I told you and made it perfectly her.

Especially the quote, I dwell in possibility.

It's so me.

Thank you.

The pleasure was honestly all mine.

Good night.

Good night.

And that's your process. You have the customers fill out some personal facts

about themselves and then you build from there?

Yeah, pretty much.

That is brave.

What do you mean brave?

Well, basically you're saying I've never met you.

But I can figure you out. I can make you a custom piece of jewelry that you're

going to love and be so happy with.

You're going to give me money for it. That's brave. Yeah.

Especially the money part.

I'm serious, though.

It's impressive.

What you do, it matters.

Aww.

Wow. I haven't been to a concert in, uh... Forever?

Yeah. Seriously?

Everything okay?

Uh, yeah. We should probably get going.

I don't want to go back to the last Alex Brown's house at midnight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But... Yeah?

Look, I have to work tomorrow anyway.

I can't let Arena crawl past me on the very last day.

So if you don't want to show up at the last Alex Brown's house in the middle of

the night and scare him, we could wait till morning.

Like a day like me cute exactly Sounds pretty perfect

Because I am also so hungry and tired and I can't even imagine what

it looks like right now What's worse you're tired or you're hungry?

Definitely my hungry let's fix that

Dinner was amazing.

Thank you. And Buckeyes? I'm so glad we saved room for these.

Well, these are a moral imperative around these parts.

So, what do you like best about your job?

The fit, obviously.

I mean, yeah. I could see that.

I think it's probably that I just get to complete something every day.

you know, packages arrive at the warehouse, I deliver them to the

customer, they receive them, they're happy, done, full circle, with a little

caboose of joy at the end.

Caboose of joy.

So you said you're not sure what to do next about your business?

Yeah, I mean, there's so many different directions I could go and so many

different pieces of advice, it's just...

I don't know. I used to be so confident and I knew exactly what I wanted. And

then somewhere along the way, I started doubting myself.

Okay, hold on.

Let's unpack that. Please have a seat.

Okay.

So is this about work or?

Everything. Here I am in my 30s, still living that pop-up life,

still not making enough money, still adrift.

Okay, so the person who dragged me all over Columbus today searching for her

soulmate, she doubts herself?

Yeah, no, I don't buy that.

I think you're forgetting that an artist, they don't have a standard path

forward.

That's completely normal.

And yeah, maybe you're scared.

And a little off track.

But I think deep down you know what your heart really wants.

You're right.

And I am just... I'm going to stand up and I'm going to say it, okay? Yes,

okay. Okay.

I want a permanent space all to myself.

No more consignments or pop-ups or street fairs. I want expansion

without the risk of losing my soul.

There you go. Now I just need to manifest the money to make it happen.

Thank you for reminding me of me.

It's my pleasure.

Truly.

You have a little schmutz, like, right

there.

Hey, so maybe I should, um, I should probably drive you home.

I can do that.

Oh, uh, I actually live right here.

I must have lost my sense of direction.

Yeah, it happens.

Not usually to me, but, um... Um, so tomorrow, are we on? Yeah, tomorrow we

make the delivery.

Okay, great. Well, then I will see you tomorrow. Yes.

See you tomorrow.

And we're done.

There's something chemical and I can't put my finger on it Something

atypical and if I'm being honest What now?

Hanging in a moment, hope you didn't notice but what if I did?

What now?

I'm caught up in a feeling, wonder if I'm meaning so what

about me. Be the teddy bear. Be vulnerable. Tell her how you feel.

I have to be the polar bear and just go for it. I gotta go.

Do not track me.

Jack!

Alex.

Wow. Hi.

Morning.

Here, look.

So do you.

Thanks. I thought that you had work today for the contest. Yeah.

Don't worry about it. I am already one.

What? You did?

That's amazing.

Thanks.

So that's, I guess, for the final Alex Brown.

Oh, um... No, I, um... I actually made it for you.

Me? Are you serious?

Sticky notes.

Well, it seemed appropriate.

Mm-hmm.

Good food is sweeter when shared.

Anonymous.

That's perfect.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like it.

Do you want me to put it on?

Yes, please.

Hey, Alex.

Yes? I want to ask you something.

Hey!

You know what? You're just in time.

I wanted to check in in case you were having any last-minute jitters.

Um... Oh, hey, Jack. You look nice.

Thank you.

So, any jitters?

A few, but I think I'm ready. Yes.

Yes, you are.

Listen, you are doing something most of us don't even have the guts to do.

You've put out there what you wanted and you're going for it.

I am.

I... I have to complete this.

For myself.

You aren't just doing it for yourself.

You're doing it for everyone.

Mostly for me.

It inspires me to start going for what I want to. You should.

You deserve it.

You ready? Yep.

Moving on.

14 Meadowbrook Road.

Woo!

Morning. What is happening here?

It's finally happening.

He's taking her to meet him.

And we are missing it.

Well... Maybe we could just watch from across the street. They'll never even

know we're there.

And we're here.

Thank you for everything.

I mean, for yesterday and for last night.

And for helping me to see that I already know what I really want.

Now I can't stop thinking about having my own shop.

That's great.

Hang on to that.

And thank you, too.

For what?

Well, I think you had to learn to say what you want.

And I had to learn it's okay to actually want something again.

Yeah, I'm happy to hear that.

So, I'm... Yeah, I got it.

Here we are.

Yeah.

i guess i just walk on up to that door then yeah i guess so

unless um unless

do you really think what you want is inside that house um

i don't know do you

think it's somewhere else

Oh, come on.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I can see you guys.

Surprise!

Yeah, surprise.

What are you guys doing here? I'm sorry. We don't want to miss the big moment.

That's still happening, right? Because looks like a different moment might be

about to happen.

No.

No.

No. Yes. No. I...

What is it, Ed? I told you I already dropped out of the contest.

Wait, what?

I just want it today to be about you, and Haley and I are going to find

another way.

Listen, I found the real Alex Brown's address, and Meadowbrook Road ain't it.

I called him up and confirmed the purple package is his.

It's on Arena's route.

It's 832 Jefferson, that area they just annexed.

That's probably why it didn't show up on your sister's list.

Isn't this awesome?

I'll follow you off my lot.

Sorry, sir. Wrong address.

Gotta go.

So, um, 832 Jefferson.

I'll, uh, I'll see you there.

I'll see you there.

I'll see you there.

Okay.

This is my route.

Look, I'm not trying to steal anything from you, Irina.

Isn't that the jeweler? The one whose table you hide under?

You knew?

Let's just say I grew up noticing things. Old habit, hard to explain. So,

why is she there and you are here?

Because, uh, I'm an idiot.

Yes.

I'm doing the right thing, right?

Yes, definitely.

All I know is that after 20 years of marriage, nothing good comes from

holding back your feelings.

You gotta go after what you want.

Yeah.

Right. Well, I do think you should take off your jacket.

All right. Good call. Yes.

O'Keefe, you are as bad at love as you are good at on-time distribution.

Thank you.

I will still win.

When I curse a cow, it stays cursed.

Doesn't matter anymore.

You got this.

I do.

What is our slogan?

Okay, what is our slogan?

Delivered and done.

That is what you must do.

Deliver.

Go get him.

I have to meet the teddy bear and the polar bear.

Huh?

Alex, I came up with more.

More what?

With more must-haves.

More than just the sharing food thing.

Oh.

Someone who loves adventure,

especially adventure in a vintage truck.

Someone who sticks up for others.

Even when they're hiding under a table.

Someone who sees people so well that she can personalize exactly what they need.

Someone who believes and hopes and keeps going no matter how many times she's

been disappointed.

And someone who, yeah, I agree, has to go ring that doorbell.

Just in case it doesn't work out.

She knows that I'm going to be at her building every single day, ignoring her

sticky notes, and hoping she'll give me a chance.

A second chance.

Okay. That was pretty good.

Yes, but I take full credit for this. Irina.

Hello. Hello.

And yeah, maybe you're scared and a little off track.

But I think deep down you know what your heart really wants.

Wait, um... Excuse me, sorry.

Alex, you've come all this way. We've come all this way. Don't you think you

should at least ring that doorbell and make sure this is what you really want?

Meg, I finally know exactly what I want.

I... I want someone who appreciates good music.

Even when it's about a pickup truck?

And speaks romance languages.

Ah, bien sûr, c'est bon.

And knows that EQ is more important than IQ.

And I will order my own coffee mug just to prove it.

But most importantly, wants me to be me, even when I'm

battling, which...

I'm gonna do a lot right now, because it's something that I do, and I have big

feelings, and right now I have a lot of big... Moving on.

Oh, great, my package.

Hello. Hi.

I'm Alex.

I'm Megan.

It's good to meet you.

Sorry, I'm a little sweaty from working out.

That is a beautiful limp.

You really know how to manifest.

Right?

Hey, save it for after hours, you two. We have shoppers already.

So Express Now just sold this to you?

Well... They finally forced Jack to upgrade his work truck.

Yeah, my loss was her gain, though. She got it for a steal.

With someone's help.

You two restored it yourselves?

Impressive.

If you put shelves where the drop seat was, use a biscuit joiner for a smooth

finish, you'll get, wait for it, three more square feet of sales space.

Wow, sounds like a plan.

Irina, I still feel kind of bad. It was my writing that helped put Jack over the

top. Well, he delivered the love of your life.

How can I be mad at you?

Besides,

I was having an off day.

I think it all started with Ed, who got to keep his job, by the way. Yeah.

Alright, everybody. Are we ready?

Yeah! Get over here and unveil this thing yourself.

Wow.

Okay. Come on, Alex. Here.

I can't believe this day is finally

here. Thank you, truly, all of you, for being here.

Go for it, Alex.

May I?

Delivered. And done.
