All language subtitles for Made For Each Other 2023 Hallmark 720p WEBrip hevc-Poke

This program is rated G

and is suitable for
general audiences.

That's wonderful, Rachel.

Who are you making?

My husband.

That's incredible.
What's he like?

Well, he's my best friend
and he's always kind.

And he knows I hate spiders and
he cooks all my favorite foods.

He's perfect!

He sounds perfect.

Do you want me to talk
to your mom

about getting you
into some art classes?

Yeah.

Nothing is never perfect, is it?

There's always something
that ruins everything

and then I'm back to square one.

I got nothing.

I don't suppose you have
any ideas.

Sorry for venting again.
You're just so easy to talk to.

Ooh!

What have we got here?

Oh... likes skydiving. Cool.

Vegetarian... healthy.
Makes a mean cheeseburger.

Seems a bit contradictory.

Not looking for anything serious.

Well, that's kind of
a relief actually.

Rachel!

Honey, are you in there?

Mom?

What are you doing here?

Surprise! Surprise!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I was in the neighborhood.

Right. Mom, it's not
a good time,

I'm in the middle of something. So...

Oh. Well, Ethel says that you
haven't called her son back yet

and he said the date
went very well.

I was worried.

I hadn't heard from you.

Yeah. Well, if you must know,
he showed up 20 minutes late

and did something
very offensive.

No. What did he do?

Ordered for me.
And not even something good.

A beet salad.

Well, you know, how these
investment bankers can be.

So, he was a little bit late,
but I think he took initiative

by ordering you
something healthy.

Right.

Besides, when was the last time
you had a root vegetable?

You know, Ethel was
very upset with me.

Mom, how about you stop setting
me up with your friends' sons

and then your friends will stop
being upset with you.

Yeah, but you are just being
so unreasonable.

Honey, nobody's perfect.

And you're not getting
any younger.

There it is.

Alright. Mom, you know, I have
a class in five minutes

so, I'm gonna need you to...

Are you making a new piece?

No.

Wha... ah... when do
I get to see it?

What are you doing?

Mom, I'll call to you later.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Bye.

Wow. Beautiful, Mia.

You know, this one might
give you a deeper groove

right through there. Try it.

Thanks.

Alright. Good work
today everyone.

I will see you all tonight
at the showcase.

Now don't be shy.

Please invite your friends,
your family.

You've worked hard.

Your creations deserve
to be recognized.

May I have your
attention, please?

Hi. I'm Rachel Becker.

I'm one of the instructors here.

I wanted to thank you all
for coming tonight

to our student showcase.

These dedicated artists have
spent weeks of their lives

for this one short moment
where they get to share

a part of themselves and the way
they see the world with you.

And I could not be more proud
of all of them.

Hold on a sec, hold on!

Hi!

Uh... I just wanted to ask you,

are you gonna be showing any
of your own pieces here tonight?

Um... Mom?
What are you doing here?

She is so talented
you have no idea.

I mean, her sculptures,
it's like they are magic.

They're just, like,
they're so real.

And you students,
you have no idea

just how very, very lucky you
are to have her as your teacher.

I assure you, uh,
I am the lucky one.

And no, I will not be, uh,
showing a piece tonight.

Oh, come on.
Just bring out one thing.

Show everyone what you can do.

Okay. That's it for speeches.

Please donate to the school
and thank you.

Mom, what are you doing here?

Well, I just saw your poster
when I stopped by earlier.

Why didn't you tell us?

Us?

I paid for the parking
and the machine ate my card.

- Oh, no.
- Yet, again.

Guys, the poster said
it's a student showcase.

What are you doing here?

Well, we're here now
and we were hoping

you might showcase
a piece here too.

And why would I do that, Ruth?

Well, because I thought you were
building something new.

I told them you wouldn't
but they insisted.

Okay, listen to me.

It has been so long
since those horrible reviews.

You need to start
putting yourself out there

and not just with your art.

Wow. Where's Ben?
Couldn't make it to the ambush?

Oh! I would never miss
a Becker family ambush.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I hope you don't mind
David's tagging along.

We're gonna go see
his show later.

That is a lie. I never miss
an art student showcase.

Ben's actually tagging along
with me.

David's actually really funny.

You should actually come
to the show later, Rachel.

Well, that's very sweet
but I have a feeling

Rachel will be having
some plans later.

What? What plans?
What have you done?

Nothing.

You're up to something.

You'll thank me later.
Andrew!

Oh... hi everyone.

Judith, thank you so much
for inviting me.

Oh, of course.
Everyone, this is Andrew.

Oh, no wait a minute, excuse me,
Doctor Paff.

This is Andrea's son,
he's a cardiologist.

He knows a thing or two
about the heart.

Oh!

So, that's funny.
Can I steal that joke?

He's new to the city

so, I thought I would invite him
to your show.

I do hope that's okay.

Again, it's not my show.
But nice to meet you.

You too.

I, uh...

Mom, a word?

Oh, yeah.

Mom, I told you to stop
setting me up.

I know but look at him.

And he does very well
for himself.

Uh, Rachel, why don't you
show Andrew...

oh, I'm sorry, that
would be Doctor Paff.

Calling Doctor Paff!

Sorry.

Okay, good.

You know, your mother's
not entirely wrong.

I do understand matters
of the heart.

Oh, you're...
oh, you're serious.

Follow me, doc.

This is actually one of
my favorite pieces.

Look at the detail.

Yeah. Can I ask you a question
without being offensive?

You can try.

How is this art?

This artist was never allowed
to eat fast food as a kid

so, she developed this kind
of obsession with it,

doing anything she could
to get her hands on it.

To her, a burger and fries
was the epitome of decadence.

She literally put it
on a pedestal.

It's amazing how something one
person might take for granted

can mean the world
to someone else.

She never heard of an apple?

Well, I think it's going
really well.

I can feel the heat from here.

I'm not sure what
you're looking at.

- It was nice to meet you.
- Thank you, yeah.

What just happened?
Why is the good doctor leaving?

Because I asked him to.

Why? He's such a catch.

He's a specialist!

Well, let him specialize
in someone else.

Honey, your sister's
getting married very soon.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could
have someone to escort you?

I'm not sure that Rachel needs
to start going out with someone

she doesn't like just so she can
have a date for the wedding.

I am not trying to set her up
for a night.

I'm trying to help her
set herself up for life.

She needs to... to be happy
and loved.

Rachel is very particular,
you know that.

It has to be the right person
at the right time.

Enough!

I know you mean well
but you have got to stop

with the set-ups and let me
figure this out on my own

or I swear to you I will adopt
a thousand cats

and never leave
my apartment again.

Okay?

Mmmhmm.

Wow. That was such
a personal moment

to happen right in front of me,

I feel like I'm part
of the family now.

You know David, I bet you're
actually pretty funny.

And I would really like
to come to your show tonight

but I'm gonna go home because
I suddenly have a headache.

Are we still going for Chinese?

Hey! Rachel!

- Hey!
- Hold on.

Ming, Tyee, you guys
are the best.

And I'll see you at Burning Man!

Wild night?

Well... it's a full moon,
there's a storm brewing

and I couldn't waste it
sitting home at night.

It's not supposed
to storm, Doris.

Oh yes, yes, the elbow
never lies.

Hey, what happened
with the showcase?

Oh. Well, my entire family
tried to ambush me

and set me up with a doctor.

Again, with a doctor?

Yeah. Any chance you're up
for a drink and a kvetch?

Drinking and kvetching,
two of my favorite hobbies.

I've got a nice box of wine too.

You know, I've never seen
my parents fight.

- Really?
- Mmhmm.

Well, that has not been
my experience.

They always got along,
made it look easy.

I grew up with that
so I know it's possible.

It sounds pretty impossible
to me but I'm a skeptic.

Nope. I just haven't
found it yet.

I've dated great guys before

but they always end up
disappointing me.

Something's always missing.

I wish I could just date Clay.

Oh, who's Clay?

He's a sculpture I've been
working on for a while.

Uh-huh. So, you wanna date
a sculpture?

No Doris, I'm kidding.

But I have been experimenting
with hyperrealism.

I took the best parts of
every man I could think of.

I couldn't find a perfect
boyfriend so I made one.

I think I need to see this thing
right now.

Families are fun, right?

Constant struggle between
smothering love

and crushing disappointment.

You know, my family of course
wanted me to be a doctor.

But I rebelled against
that Jewish stereotype...

and became a lawyer.

Then I decided to try comedy
and whoo... really cross a line.

They haven't returned
my calls in a year.

Huh, yeah.

Thank you so much everybody.
My name is David Cohen.

That's my time.

This bar is sticky, I'm gonna
go wash my hands.

Okay.

Alright, let's keep it
going for David Cohen.

Buddy! Thank you so much
for coming.

I know you're crazy busy
with all this wedding stuff.

Oh, come on, please,
that was funny.

- Good.
- Really.

And let me tell you,

it's nice to talk about
something other than peonies.

Orchids, hydrangeas,
uh... jasmine,

tulips, roses, philodendron.
Oh, hi... love.

I was just saying how you make
looking at centerpieces

for hours and hours on end seem
like mere seconds, really.

Nice try. What about you,
David?

Are you looking for someone

to pick out flower
arrangements with?

Nope.

Why not?

Well, I'm, uh, I'm just focused
on the work.

You know, this is my time to get
good and I can't get good

if I'm arranging carnations
and calla lilies.

You don't have to choose
between love and comedy.

This makes me happy,
stand-up makes me happy,

and I'm finally getting
good at it.

If I just focus on it I could
build a real career.

But that could take years.

You're not even gonna try
to date anyone?

That's right.

You know, I think under the
right light, in a leap year,

Mercury is in retrograde, he'd
really hit it off with Rachel.

Are you done?

I just hope you laugh
that hard when I'm on stage.

Tell me how you really feel
about it, Ruthie.

Sorry. It's not you, it's her.
I love my sister but she's...

- Oh, impossible.
- Picky.

Yeah. Yeah.

Her ideal man is
a complete fantasy.

Yeah.

Basically if you're
human you don't stand a chance.

Wow. I mean,
you weren't kidding.

I'd date him.

Why'd you decide to make
him life-sized?

I don't know.

I guess I just wanted to make
him feel as real as possible.

So, let me ask you...
describe your perfect man.

I don't know.

- Um... kind.
- Mmmhmm.

- Smart.
- Mmhmmm.

- Loyal, dedicated.
- Mmmhmm.

Someone I could bring home
to my mother.

Oy.

A hopeless romantic,
always on the same page.

No conflicts.

A best friend.

Oh, still going.

Just perfect.

That's a lot to ask for
in a human man.

Tell me about it.

Ah... err...

Alright. Come on, Doris,
spit it out, what?

Well, my bubbe used to tell me
about the legend of the Golem.

Did you ever hear about it?

No. No, I don't think so.

Oh really?
It's Jewish folklore.

Hundreds of years ago
rabbis would create sculptures

of men made out of clay.

Then they would bring them to
life to defend their communities

and, you know, generally
tidy up around the house.

A sculpture that does dishes.
A girl can dream.

Hey, do you wanna see
something... cool?

Am I gonna regret this
in the morning?

Well... probably.
But you'll get used to it.

Oh wow, Doris.

This looks like it's hundreds
of years old.

It is. It's an amulet.

According to my bubbe, it can
bring a Golem to life.

And why are you carry this
around with you?

I carry a lot of things
around with me.

- Who knows where I'll end up?
- Mmhmm.

We should put it around its
neck just to see if she's right.

Doris...

What? It's not gonna
work anyway.

So, why do it?

It'll be like a manifestation
exercise, you know.

You think of your ideal man and
then you put it around its neck

and the universe brings you
your ideal man.

What've you got to lose?

It would take you longer to put
together a dating profile.

Fine.

- Hmm?
- Yeah.

Alright, now,
you know, concentrate.

Oh, manifest, right.

Yes. Concentrate.

- It winked.
- No.

- It winked, it winked at me!
- No, it did not.

It did, it winked!
It's... it's alive!

You're terrible.

- Oh well, we tried.
- Yeah, we tried.

See? Storm outside.
Told you the elbow never lies.

Right.

Let's go find a last
call somewhere.

- Okay, yeah.
- 'Kay.

- Or we could go home.
- Yeah, we could.

Parker...

Parker.

Parker!

How many times did I tell you
not to interrupt me

when I'm in the zone?

Oh, sorry for coming back
to my house.

No, it's okay.

Enough about me...
how was your show?

Uh, yeah, it was good.
It was good.

I got some laughs.

How about you,

did you get to chapter 15
of the LSAT book?

Man, chapter, shmapter.
I'm all about the lick and riff.

Can't you dig it, man?

Dig this, man.

Your mom is depending on me
to help you with that book.

It's the whole reason you get
to live here in New York City.

Why do you get to quit
being a lawyer

but I have to go to law school?

That is a really good question.

Thank you.

I will redirect to your mother,
my sister.

Good luck with that.
Are we clear?

You tell me.

Oh...

Hello? Hello?
Is somebody there?

There we go.

Mom?

Wow. So glad to see we've
established healthy boundaries.

Are you just waking up?

I gave you a key
for emergencies.

Well, this is an emergency.

You're not eating
so I made you a kugel.

Mom, I'm eating.
You could've just called.

Who calls?

Besides, I happened to have
been out in the neighborhood.

With a kugel?

Listen, uh, I'm gonna be
putting you at the singles table

at the wedding but don't you
get mad at me.

What? I thought I was sitting
with you and Daddy.

Yeah, we've had to move
some things around.

We've got some people
coming in from out of state.

And besides, I found out
that there's gonna be

at least four very desirable men
at that table.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, that is perfect
because what I really wanted

was to go on a quadruple blind
date at my sister's wedding.

Well, I don't know
what you want from me,

I don't make the rules.

So, unless something changes
and you do decide

to bring someone
to this wedding,

that is where you're sitting.

But Mom...

I have to go. I'm sorry,
your dad is double-parked.

I love you.

Stop screening my calls.
Oh, and eat!

Love you too, Mom.

Okay. Find a date
for the wedding.

Let's see what we got.

Too old. Too young.

Hot yoga enthusiast,
likes cold showers.

Who are these people?

Good morning Clay.

It is now.

Who are you?

Rachel it's me, Clay.

What? Oh gosh.

Is this some sort of prank
you guys are playing on me?

Come out, you guys.
You got me!

It's a new TV show, right?

Oh, right, right.

So, nobody hired a model who
looks exactly like my piece.

Where is my piece?

Alright. Come out, guys.
You got me!

Are you not excited to see me?

What? Who gave you that?

You did...
with Doris last night.

Doris is... is not here?

Um...

Do you think I could...

I always put my initials behind...

could I look at...
just your ear?

- Ahhhh!
- Whoa! Whoa!

I don't know.
But I'm glad I am.

It worked.

Oh my gosh, it worked.
It actually worked.

I need, uh, I need a...

Coffee?

One stevia, quarter cup
of vanilla oat milk

and a light sprinkling
of cocoa powder.

That's exactly right.
How did you know that?

I've been watching you
make coffee every day

for over a year.

You've been watching me
for over...

Uh-oh.

I know how sore your feet
can get

walking on this hard concrete
all day.

Yeah. Wow.

Um... that's the spot
but you've...

Uh... wow. Sorry Miss Becker.

Is class about to start?

Class...

Good morning.

Hey, morning. Hi.

Class, yes.

Today for class I want you
to go on a journey

of self-discovery in the city.

So... you, uh, you want,
you want us all to leave?

I want you to go on
a journey of discovery.

This is a model
that I am interviewing

for a future class
on the human form.

Huh. Looking... forward...
to that class.

So...

Yeah. So why don't you,
um... go soak in the city.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Okay. Thank you.

- Right.
- Yup.

I am going crazy.
I'm going crazy.

That explains it.
Oh gosh, I should call Doris.

It's already dialing.

Oh. Thanks.

Doris... hi.

Yeah, I'm gonna need you to
come to my studio right now.

Yeah. Oh, and bring clothes.

Man clothes.

Aloha!

I can't believe this
is happening.

Oh, it's happening.

Hi. I'm Doris.

Now, let me get this straight,
is he real, real?

I don't know.

I'm hungry. I've never been
this hungry before.

Oh!

Hang on a second here.

Would you like some
chocolate rugelach, Clay?

Sure.

What, you just walk around with
a bag of rugelach in your purse?

I told you, I like to be
prepared for any situation.

Mmm!

This is the most amazing thing
I've ever had.

Well, it's the only thing
you've ever had.

But I still take it
as a compliment.

This is crazy!
This is crazy!

What am I gonna do with him?

At least you got a date
for the wedding.

What? That is even crazier.

What's so crazy about it?
Life is crazy.

You made a wish
for a perfect man,

now he's here for real...

Isn't that what you wanted?

Yes.

Ah... I rest my case.

Okay. Okay.

Say, say I do take him
to my sister's wedding.

Okay?

There's a lot to figure out.

What's there to figure out?

Like who he is, where he's from,
what does he do?

What are his hobbies?

Hobbies? That's easy.
Just being with you.

Well, you two seem like
you're getting along.

I guess this is my cue to leave.

No!

Um... that's very nice,
Clay, but, um...

I was thinking something
more like fishing.

For you I'll catch the largest
fish in the world.

No! A thousand of them!

I don't think a freezer
could hold a thousand fish.

Okay.

A thousand fish
is a lot of fish.

- That's right, Doris.
- I'm just saying.

- Okay.
- Maybe a sub-zero.

We get it, Doris!

First things first...

My mom cannot meet you in that.

Uh, I can't get used to
hearing you speak.

Oh. I'm sorry.
Should I stop talking?

No. No, it's... it's nice.
I like it.

Phew. All this shopping
made me super hungry.

Should we get some more
of that rugelach?

You know, this is New York City.

We can do better than that.

Thank you.
Best dogs in the city.

These aren't made of real dogs,
are they?

Trust me.

Mmhmm.

You know what I do miss though,
being a kid.

'Cause when you're a kid and you
quit something you don't like,

everybody's all, like, "aww he's
just discovering himself".

But when you're an adult
and you quit something

it's all, "hey David,
you're ruining your life!"

But enough about every family
gathering I've ever attended.

Thank you so much, everybody.

I'm David Cohen, I'll see
you next time. Thank you.

David Cohen, everybody.
How funny was that?

Dude, that was so funny.
It was so funny tonight.

What do you mean, I wasn't funny
before or...?

No, no, no. I mean...

I'm kidding, I'm kidding,
I'm playing.

Okay, okay.

Buddy, I feel good.
I feel great.

- Let's... let's hit the clubs.
- Yes.

Let's make this
a bachelor party,

we can even invite Ruth
and her sister along.

Yeah, what? No.
You don't...

You want me to invite my fiancée
to the bachelor party?

You do know how bachelor
parties work, right?

- This about Rachel?
- No.

- Uh-huh.
- Maybe.

- Mmmhmm.
- It's...

- She's sassy.
- Mmmhmm.

And she's funny.

Well, I'm just saying
you don't have a chance.

I'm really glad you're
my best friend.

I can't imagine what you
might say otherwise.

What? No.
You, you are great.

I love you. It's her. She's just
really, really picky.

But going out sounds awesome.

Let's shake up the night!
Yeah, ha, ha!

Oh...

So much for the shaking?

I gotta go.

Ruth wants to rehearse
the first dance again.

Have a great time.

- Nope.
- Okay.

So, we'll say you're saving up
for law school.

My parents need to think you
have a stable future.

A lawyer is someone
who argues for a living.

I don't have to argue with you,
do I?

Because I never want to.

No, you never have to argue
with me.

Okay, that's enough, um...
for tonight.

We'll cover more personal
history tomorrow.

I'm tired but... I don't want
this night to end.

We've had a big day.

Let's get you back to my office.

The couch opens up,
you can sleep there.

I've spent some late nights
there making... well you.

I still can't believe
this is happening.

It's like a dream.

You're my dream.

That was the best kiss
of my life.

Yeah.

Not too shabby.

Did you see Irving?
He got so old.

Where's Rachel?

Oh, she'll be here soon.

Did she find a date?

What do you think?

It is not a good sign

when the younger sister
gets married first.

Maybe. But in the end,
I'm sure Rachel

will find someone
who deserves her.

Oh...

Hello! Mazel tov!

Well, if it isn't Don Rickles.
Where's your hoodie?

I dropped it at the dry cleaners
to be pressed.

Mazel tov.

I can't believe it. I can't
believe the day is finally here.

Neither can I.

Hi Daddy.

Hi David.

Rachel. Wow.
Uh... you look incredible.

Uh... Mom, Dad, David,
this is Clay.

My date.

Date?

Mazel tov on the big day.
You must be so proud.

Hey.

Oh wow! Wow!
That's quite a grip.

You play ball?

Oh, I'm capable of playing
all the sports balls.

Basket, volley, dodge, foot.

That's a lotta balls, right?

He's very athletic.

Uh, so tell me,
how did you two meet?

It's a really cute story.

Here it goes.

I took one of Rachel's
night classes

and noticed her right away.

Not only because of her beauty

but because of her skill
and confidence as a teacher.

Sounds very romantic.

He was having trouble
with his vase,

looked more like a plate.

Oh.

It's harder than it looks,
but she makes it look easy.

And I spent the whole class
helping him

and we finally got a shape
that you could put flowers in.

Oh, right.

So, we got it in the oven

and we stayed after class for
hours, talking until it was ready.

The next day he brought me
flowers in that vase.

Uh, blue peonies, her favorite.

Then he asked me out.

And the rest is history.

Wow, that's quite a story.

Yeah, you two packed in a lot
in the last 48 hours.

Well, I think it's very romantic
and it is a dream come true.

We'll have to reshuffle the
seating arrangements, Rachel.

Okay.

Hey, you can join me
at the kids' table if you want.

It's full.

I'm gonna make you a special
place card, Clay.

What's your last name?

Um... Gold...

fish...?

Goldfish?

Uh, sorry. Goldfisher.

Wait, wait, wait.
Does he have two last names?

Oh, sure.

Fisher is his last name
and Gold is his stage name.

For modeling.

Yes. Those are his names.

Oh, you're a model.

Of course, he is.

But just for now, just to
save up some money.

Uh, Clay is thinking
about going to law school.

Oh... I like that.

Well, I'm sure that Ben
will be happy to help

with those LSAT's
when the time comes.

What are those?

Well it's the test that you
take to get in.

To law school.

Right.

I know.

I was the one testing you.

Oh!

Funny guy you got here, Rachel.

Yeah.

Hey! It's Sandy Weinberg.

He's in advertising.
You two should meet.

He's got all kinds
of connections.

Sandy! Sandy!

I've got the next Fabio
right here.

Let me do the talking.

Oooh! Let's go and find
our seats.

Yeah, it's very nice to see
you again.

Oh, my goodness,
he is such a keeper.

Isn't this the most beautiful
thing you've ever seen?

It sure is.

Mazel tov!

Congratulations
to the happy couple.

Come on, everyone give them
a hand!

You can do better than that.

So, dinner will be served shortly,

followed by wedding toasts.

And then it's Hora time!

Ugh. The toast.
Okay, I will be right back.

I'm just gonna take
one more crack at it.

What should I do?

Eat.

Oh.

I am going to keep going.
Thank you, I appreciate that.

- Keep them coming.
- See you later.

Hi, glad you could make it.

Find that perfect person
you can imagine

spending the rest of your life
with but Ruth wasn't even

halfway through her first date
with Ben when she texted me.

When she wants something,
she goes for it.

Zero hesitation.

I wish I was more like that
but I...

Ugh. Come on, Rach.
You had weeks to finish this.

But...

But I couldn't choose

between fish or chicken
for this wedding.

What?

I wish I were more like that
but I couldn't even choose

between fish or chicken
for this wedding.

You gotta put some jokes
in these speeches.

It's important.

I have jokes.

Really? I haven't
heard one yet.

There's more to jokes
than just words.

Yeah, laughs.

It's more about delivery.

Look, all I'm saying is
I'm happy to help you.

This is, uh... it's kinda
what I do.

Thank you but I don't need
help writing about my sister.

Suit yourself.

I hope you enjoy the sound
of a single cough

and waiters pouring water

while you deliver
your cut and paste speech.

Wait.

What was that joke you said?

About the fish.

Mom, Dad, you two
have set the bar

for the perfect marriage.

Aww...

And now Ruth, you really
have found your perfect partner.

So Ben, as you are opening
your air fryer

and monogrammed tea towels...

Just remember, the perfect
gift... is grandchildren.

Your new mother in law
has registered for three.

L'chaim!

L'chaim!

- Love you.
- Love you, sissy.

Yes, that was funny.

That was so great.
Who was your writer?

Thank you.

I hate to admit it
but that might've been

the best sister of the bride
speech I have ever given.

Mmhmm.

So...

I feel like I owe you something.

How about a dance?

Oh...

- We don't have to if...
- No. Um...

Mmm!

Have you had the lox
with the hummus?

Not even on accident.

Here. I've already had three.

Uh...

You... you don't have to.

Okay, um... it was great
seeing you both.

Rachel, enjoy the rest
of the wedding.

It's great.

Of course.

See?

Looks like the picky woman
has picked someone.

You gotta let it go.

There's nothing to let go of.
We just... we had a moment.

Yeah, but I mean look at him,
looks like a Greek sculpture.

And Judith and Mark love him.
You can't compete with that.

Gee, thanks for the pep talk.

Oh... you know what I mean.

No, it's fair.

You know Ruth has a cousin, Barbara.

- Babs?
- Yeah.

We met. Remember?

Oh yeah. Well, beggars
can't be choosers.

Look, I... I'm just gonna focus
on the comedy.

Love is a pointless distraction.

You know you're
at my wedding, right?

- Yeah.
- Mmhmm.

Thank you for coming with me.

I've been dreading this day
for months

and it's turned out
to be just...

Magical.

Yeah.

I don't want this feeling
to end.

I don't want this feeling
to end.

Okay. Whose idea was it to move
to a three-story walk-up?

Yours.

Right, sorry. Yeah.

Well, at least
the exposed brick's

worth getting a hernia over.

- Hi.
- Oh hey.

Hi. Thank you so much
for helping.

Nice to see you.

You brought coffees,
you're a life saver, thank you.

I'm sorry Clay couldn't make it.

I made him an Instagram page

and he's been booking modeling
gigs left and right.

He's a model, he doesn't have
an Instagram page?

He's an old soul.
Doesn't believe in social media.

Hmm.

That's okay.
We found an extra set of hands.

Oh. Who?

Your friendly neighborhood
rugelach man!

In the house.

I thought you said
you were bringing donuts.

Rugelach are better than donuts.

Glad to see somebody
appreciates good food here.

What is that?

Fig and date.

- Fig and date?
- Mmm.

- Seriously?
- Whatever.

Why not chocolate?

Chocolate's boring.
Everybody likes chocolate.

Exactly, it's chocolate.

Why not bring something
everyone will enjoy?

Well, everyone doesn't have
to enjoy everything.

That's why they make
different flavors.

You combine them...
like lox and hummus.

I'm sure they're not that bad.

Eh?

Let's go get donuts.

Mmhmm.

Donuts.

Sorry.

- Help.
- Uh-huh.

So, where's your boyfriend?

Oh, he's shooting a campaign
for a new apparel line,

if you must know.

Oh, I thought he'd be out
dipping gefilte fish

in peanut butter somewhere.

I gotta write that one down.

You know, it's always stressful
testing out new material.

It's like sure, in my head
it's funny

but you never know how somebody
else is gonna react.

Yeah, I can relate to that.
Art is the same way.

I can make something so personal
and have it take so long

only to have someone look at it
for two seconds

and say something like...

Ooh, I don't know.

An uninspired mish-mosh of ideas
masquerading as art

but really just a lifeless
lump of clay.

At least you didn't hang
onto that.

Right.

Healthy.

You know, I would love to see
some of your artwork.

There's my girl!

- Hey.
- Hey.

I didn't think you'd be able
to make it.

You know, shoot ended early.

They said I did so well

that they didn't need
the rest of the day

so, I wanted to come help.

And...

I brought everyone
a little nosh.

Ooh la la! Chocolate rugelach,
my favorite.

Maybe overrated.

Whoa.

This is the best rugelach
I've ever had.

Where'd you get this?

I made them.

- You made these?
- Yeah.

How?

Doris showed me.

Oh, and these...
are for your purse.

In case of emergency.

Okay, so this is the part
where I leave.

I gotta get ready
for a show later.

Okay. Bye.

Oh... a show?
Can we come?

Yeah, you wanna come
to my stand-up show?

Sure. Plus, that's what
friends are for.

Plus, I've never been to one.

You've never been
to a stand-up show?

I've never been to any show.

He's kidding.

Clay is like my personal
stand-up comedian.

Right. I've been
to all the shows.

Alright. I'll see you guys.
Thank you.

Okay.

Bye.

- Round two?
- Mmhmm.

If you don't know
what Yom Kippur is,

it's a day of atonement.

It's a day where we starve
ourselves and apologize a lot.

Not eating sounds awful.

Oh, uh... it's so you can focus
on thinking about your life.

I can do that while I'm eating.

And my mom would tell us
not to eat too much

when we broke the fast
so we wouldn't get sick.

Then she would make us the
biggest meal of our lives.

Brisket, kugel, chopped liver,
challah, matzo ball soup.

And desserts... plural.

Have you ever seen

a starving 13-year-old
exercise self-control?

My mom did the exact
same thing when I was a kid.

I miss those meals.

Oh, what did she make you?

I'll make you a feast
like hers only bigger.

Okay, um... let's talk about
it later. Okay?

Technology has made it
so easy.

Now I just hop on social media
and I post...

Whoops! My bad. Hashtag
Yom Kippur... and call it a day.

Okay, um... you don't
have to laugh

if you don't think
it's funny, okay?

I guess somebody
doesn't get out much.

Sorry.

I was pretending to laugh
but I know now

I don't have to
when it's not funny.

Oh, my God.

Um... I can't see you
but I bet I know who this is.

Ladies and gentlemen,
my friend's, thank you.

And you can apologize to me
for this moment next Yom Kippur.

I'm David Cohen
thank you everybody!

That's my time.

Let's hear it for David Cohen!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I had no idea that
you were actually...

- Funny?
- Yeah! That was really funny.

It's nice to be pleasantly surprised.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm assuming I don't have
to ask you

how you felt about it, Clay.

Well, the seats were comfortable

and the drinks are tasty.

Good.

Uh... comedy's just
not Clay's thing, I guess.

I never noticed that before.

Ooh. But this is my thing.

Yeah.

He's hungry.

- Always.
- Okay.

So, when does your
ad campaign come out?

Should be any day now.

There it is!

Wow!

Huh. I thought it'd be
a lot bigger than that.

- So, it's an ad for...
- Jeans.

That's why I'm not wearing
a shirt.

Oh... right.
Makes sense.

So, did you enjoy
yourself tonight?

I enjoyed spending time
with you.

But did you have fun?

I had fun watching you laugh.

Your laugh is like music to me.

Really? Even when I snort?

Your snort's like beautiful thunder.

You are unreal.

Will I see you tomorrow?

Of course.

Just make sure to leave
my office

before the students get there.

Oh, that won't be a problem.

There's a pole inside
the couch bed

that wakes me up good and early.

Ugh. Gosh, we really do
have to find you

a better place to stay, huh?

Good night.

Good night.

Wow. He's perfect.

That's my boyfriend.

- Parker?
- Yeah?

What's going on?

David, the most amazing thing
happened to me.

You got into Yale?

- Better.
- Harvard.

I got into a band.
Well, more of, like, a combo.

But they're super talented
and I'm going on tour with them.

Isn't that awesome?

What about law school?

I'm not going!
I already talked to my mom.

I'm gonna follow my dreams,
just like you, only younger.

That's... that's nice.

Hey, thank you, Uncle David,
for letting me stay here

and for helping me and
for always inspiring me.

I won't forget you

when I'm the biggest thing
to happen to the jazz flute.

Alright.

Stay cool.

- It's dark outside.
- I know.

Oh boy.

Wow!

Yeah. The room is, uh... ready
to be moved into any time.

Uh, rent's due on the 5th and
I... I like people to recycle.

Uh... let's see.
What else, what else, what else?

Ooh! No musical instruments.

Building policy.

I'll take it!

Really?

This is the first one
we've seen.

Why would I wanna live
with a stranger

when I can live with
my best friend David.

Best friend? Uh...

I don't know if we're there yet.

- Settled then.
- Okay.

I'm gonna put this right here

so that you are
the first thing I see

when I wake up in the morning

and the last thing I see
when I go to bed.

That's very sweet.

This looks great, doesn't it?

Yeah. You got a great view.

I know.

I can't believe it's mine.

Hey! Come on in.

Hi... oh my.
What happened here?

Julia Child happened.

Uh-oh.

Oh yes.

I hope you enjoyed
those cookies.

I am so sorry.

Okay, let me... let me
help you clean up.

No, no, no.
You don't have to do that.

Please, I insist.

Wow. Where is Clay?

He got called in for some
top-secret ad campaign.

Oh. Top secret?

Well, there certainly weren't
any secrets on his last one.

Oh! Adorable.

Oh!

I would stand outside
that office building

for a few minutes every day,

just hoping that I didn't have
to go inside.

You know, the place was so...

joyless, so serious.
It's just not who I am.

You know, I didn't
know what it was,

but the first time I tried
an open mic I knew.

I put in my notice
the following week.

It was the best day of my life.

How did your family react?

They were totally cool with it.
They loved it, you know?

No problem.

Really?

No! No!

Not... not even a little bit.

You know, at some point
you just have to stop thinking

about pleasing your parents

and you have to focus
on what you want.

I thought you were Jewish.

What about you?
Are your parents, um...

thrilled that you chose

the stable and lucrative
world of art?

Yeah. That was a tough sell.

But I was a lot more sure of
myself back then.

They insisted that I at least
get a degree in it

so I could teach
if I didn't make it.

Turns out they were right.

I don't think they were.

You haven't seen my work yet.

There's this, um...

this really famous painting
in my dentist's office.

It's just like, uh... just
a bunch of colored lines.

The original version is
worth millions of dollars.

It seriously looks like
a child drew it.

What's your point?

It doesn't matter
if it's terrible,

it's all subjective,
and if it makes you happy,

you have to keep trying.

Also, I bet you're pretty good.

You cleaned up!

I was gonna do that
when I got back.

Thank you.

What's in the envelope?

Right. Good news.

I was so excited,

I asked if I could show you
proofs from the shoot.

Oh.

Oh.

So... so, you're
modeling shirts.

Which is why he's
not wearing pants.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

I knew you'd get it.

Thanks for coming.

Oh, no problem.

Sounded like, uh, this called
for a fresh box, so...

I have never had anyone
treat me so well

before in my life.

Yeah?

It's like I can't do
anything wrong,

Clay loves everything about me.

I still can't believe
this is real.

This sounds like a romantic
fairy tale.

Why do I get the feeling
there's a 'but' coming?

- But...
- Oh.

I just... I... I can't seem
to stop thinking about David.

Oh, the comedian?

I don't know what it is.

He's blunt and sarcastic and
he doesn't care if he annoys me.

He's the complete opposite
of Clay.

But I... like talking to him.
He makes me laugh.

Makes you laugh?

You wanna laugh?
Watch Seinfeld!

Listen to me, I've been around.

You wanna find men who annoy
you, they're everywhere.

Take a walk down Fifth Avenue,

throw a rock, you could hit
a dozen.

But men like Clay, they don't
come along too often,

if at all.

He's perfect.

Remember, you wished him alive?

And I don't think he would
continue to exist

if he was no longer was serving
his purpose.

Wait, so... if we're
not together anymore

then he goes back to being a...

Exactly.

Listen, Golems were made
for a reason.

You take that reason away,
that Golem is gonna go away.

Oh, to Rachel and Clay,
the happy couple.

- L'chaim.
- L'chaim.

Thank you both.

I can't remember life
before you.

I don't remember life
before you.

Oh, that was so sweet!

That's how I feel about
my little schmoopy.

Oh, Mark, not here.

But we do have a couple
of good ones, don't we?

We sure do.

Ooh. Excuse me.

Oh, that is my school.
I will be right back.

So, Clay, how's it going
with the application?

Actually, I'm thinking about
going to chef school.

Chef school?

I think he means
culinary school.

Culinary school?
What happened to law school?

I really like cooking.
It's become my passion.

Well, that's great.

Rachel's been raving
about your food.

Yeah, yeah.

Passion is very nice but duck
confit does not pay the rent.

I thought being a chef
was a good job.

Maybe, if you're on TV,

but working in a restaurant
is brutal.

I mean, there are long hours,

you're on your feet all day, sweating.

Mark, is this true?

In the beginning, sure.

But you get out of it
what you put into it.

Okay. Cooking is
a very nice hobby.

Mark loves to make
a good brisket

but we would never
have been able

to put our girls
through college,

Ivy League schools.

You have to think about
your future.

Isn't that right, Mark?

Err... I don't know
what to tell you.

Just follow your heart.
The money will come.

I'm sure you'll make
the right choice.

I know I did.

Sorry about that.

What did I miss?

Nothing.

Okay, I'm gonna go pay the bill.

Two entrees?
That boy can eat.

Come on.

- Thank you, Daddy.
- You're welcome, honey.

Oh, Clay...

You are a very good boy.

And I happen to know you love
my daughter very much.

Oh, I love Rachel more
than anything in this world.

Yeah, we all love Rachel
very, very much.

I wanna show you this.

This was my
great-grandmother's ring

and Rachel's always loved it.

Well, you should give it
to her then.

No, that's for you to give
to her... when you propose.

Propose what?

Oy... Marriage.

Do you want to stay
with Rachel forever?

It's the only thing I want.

Well then you need
to get serious.

So, you need to show us that
you can take good care of her

and I will give you the ring.

I'll do whatever it takes.

You're a mensch.

Welcome everyone to our
four-week introductory class.

I hope you are all ready
to get messy.

What are you doing here?

Well, you came
to check out my work

so, I thought I'd come
check out yours.

Is that a problem?

Nope.

Oh! Careful.
Watch your step.

As Michelangelo once said,

within every block of stone
there is a statue,

and it is the task of
the sculptor to discover it.

So... what do you see when
you look at this ball of clay?

Like... maybe a dish
for my remote?

It's gotta be pretty big,
I've got a lot of remotes.

Uh... great, great.

Okay.

But it's clay, so the
possibilities are endless.

Let's try and dig deeper,
find a bit more meaning.

How about you, what do you see?

Maybe... a bowl for my fruit.

Healthy. Great.
Love that for you.

Okay.

And you... what do you see?

Um... I don't know.
A dog maybe?

Okay. Tell us why.

Well, I always wanted a dog.

And as luck would have it,
I am extremely allergic,

so, I was never allowed
to have one.

I didn't know that.

Yeah and, you know, I just
thought it would be cool

to have, like,
a make-believe dog.

Is that silly?

No. No, that is...
is very sweet.

Okay. Let's get started.
What do you say?

First things first... wedging.

Take your ball of clay...

Get out all those air bubbles.
That's right.

Great. No cracks.

That's holding up nicely.
Well done.

Okay, what's going on over here?

Ta da!

Ah... I mean, it won't stay.

Do I need it?
Heads are overrated anyway.

Here, let me help you.
Do you mind if I...?

No, go ahead.

Okay.

We need to score the bottom.

Okay.

If it's too perfect,
it won't stick.

Wow! It looks so real.

Yeah.

Where is everybody?

Class ended, like, an hour ago.

Oh no, I was in the zone.

Yeah, I could tell.

What am I doing?

I can't be...

I can't be finishing
your piece for you,

I'm supposed to be teaching you.

Believe me, if I did it,
it would look a lot more

like a potato than a dog.

At least this one I can pretend
it's real.

And you know what?
I'm gonna name it Rugelach.

I had no idea how good you were.

It's really inspirational
to watch you do your thing.

Thanks.

Here, come with me.

This is amazing.
What are you doing teaching?

You should have
your own exhibit.

I tried that, remember?

You got one bad review.

More than one.

Once you put it out there
everyone's got their opinion.

Who cares about their opinions?

I do. I care about
what people think.

Don't you?

No. No.

If I cared what people think
I would still be a lawyer,

hating every minute of it.

What's this?

Oh!

Center for Contemporary Art
and Design.

Looks like somebody
was thinking about

putting themselves out there.

I haven't submitted anything.

My piece got... unsubmittable.

So, make another one.

Why bother?

I really like teaching.

You like hiding.

What?

You're scared.
I get it.

Hey, being vulnerable
is terrifying.

I get scared every time
I get on a stage.

No, you don't.

I do, really.

But it is the good type
of scared,

the kind you grow from.

You know what, David?

Talk to me when there's more

than just friends
in your audience.

Talk to me when there's

an actual critic
tearing your work apart.

At least I'm trying.

Oh...

Oh, David.
I made some sushi.

We're out of soy sauce so I
had to make it from scratch.

It's actually pretty easy.

I am not in the mood tonight, dude.

What's wrong?

Ah, it's just...

Women.

Did women do something to you?

No, I just... I don't
understand them.

Alright, they... they think
they have it all figured out

and I'm the crazy one
for chasing my dreams.

But they're the ones
who are unhappy

in their stable, perfect lives.

All women are like that?

No. No, just some.

Someone I like, unfortunately.

You should find someone
like Rachel.

She's perfect.

Nobody's perfect.

Even Rachel has flaws.
Stubbornness for starters.

Objections! Slander.

What?

You're out of bounds.
Rachel is perfect.

She has zero flaws.

Why are you talking like that?

Anyway, it's not a bad thing
to have flaws.

We all have flaws.

Not Rachel.

Okay. Fine.
Rachel's perfect.

Everything she does is magic.
You happy?

I'll allow it.

What are you doing
with my old LSAT book?

Oh. Rachel's parents want me
to become a lawyer

so I can be worthy of her.

Seriously?
What about culinary school?

Well I can still cook
as a hobby.

Is that what you want?

You wanna change
who you are for her?

All I want is Rachel.

Let me know if you need
any help with the book.

Oh, thanks.

But I already took the practice
test and got a perfect score.

Of course, you did.

Hey...

Sorry for my outburst.

Have a sushi.

I'm not... I'm not much of
a sushi guy, but...

- Mmm.
- Yeah?

Is there anything
you don't do perfectly?

He said I was hiding.
That I was scared.

How dare he.

If I wanted to submit something
I would've done it.

I didn't ask for his opinion!

What's Clay's opinion?

He doesn't have one.

Why not?

Because we don't talk about
that kinda stuff.

And why is that?

When we're together everything
is so perfect, so easy.

I don't wanna ruin it by
talking about a bunch of stuff

that doesn't even matter.

If it doesn't even matter

how come you're still talking
about it?

What were you, a therapist?
Bartender?

Yes.

I'll come take a look but
I'm guessing air bubbles.

There's my sweetie!

A dollar for your thoughts.

It's a penny for your thoughts.

Your thoughts are worth
a hundred times anyone else's.

What's wrong?

There's this art contest I've
been thinking of submitting to.

It's a really big prize.

But I've been staring at
that application for months

and haven't done anything.

Now the deadline's coming up

and all I feel when I think
about it is... scared.

So scared it makes me sick.

Then don't do it.

Really?

Nothing should make
you feel that way.

I mean, that's how we feel
when something's wrong,

so submitting must be wrong.
Right?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess
that makes sense.

I suppose I should stop worrying
about it then.

Why worry about something
that makes you feel bad?

You should feel great.
Because you are great.

Thank you.

That is just what I thought
you'd say.

Oh, gotta get going.
Got a big sock campaign.

Slowly simmer
at low temperature.

So that's how you separate
the yolk.

That's what gives it
a lasting taste.

Very often restaurants use
recipes that are simple,

with simple ingredients.

Privacy violations add, two
tablespoons of butter... Pff.

- Hey. Great set tonight.
- Thanks.

I'm glad the new
material's working.

Yeah.

So listen, uh... we're having
a showcase next month

for Laugh Fest.

I think you should be on it.

Seriously, you think I'm ready?

Yeah, I think you should
give it a shot.

Just make it the best
five-minute set of your life.

And don't mess it up.

No, I won't. Hey, I won't.
Thank you.

Hi.

Hey, um... I'm celebrating
some really good news.

Would you join me for a drink?

I heard it's bad luck
to toast alone.

Sure.

♪ Take my hand
and come with me ♪

♪ We can fly over
the seven seas ♪

♪ Feeling the wind
against my skin ♪

♪ I close my eyes and feel
my heart beating faster ♪

So fun, Victoria.

♪ Ready to run

Let's get that clay wet, okay?

Now tuck the excess
beautiful pie dough

into the pan carefully
around the edges.

Once all the edges are
tucked in...

Hey David, how was your date?

Great. Uh... amazing actually.

She's, um... she's a special
lady, very easy going.

Sounds like a great fit for you.

Yeah. I just need somebody
I can just get along with.

Somebody who's not so critical,
you know?

Oh, I do know.

Well I'm glad both of us
have found people

we get along with completely.

I completely agree.

You wanna join us?
It's pie week.

No, no. I'm gonna...

I'm gonna go work on my set.

I don't wanna mess up
this showcase.

Showcase, what showcase?

Ah, it's just a little
comedy festival.

But I thought you said it
could launch your career?

Wait, is this Laugh Fest?

Yeah.

You told me about this festival,

that's a huge deal.

How come you didn't tell me
you were auditioning?

Well, I didn't wanna psych
myself out.

You know, I feel ready but
it's my first time auditioning.

And I know comedians
who've tried out for years

and still haven't got in.

You'll get in.

We'll see.

You can't win if you don't put
yourself out there, right?

Good night.

Hey David...

Banana pancakes tomorrow
for breakfast?

With syrup?

Homemade.

Mmm. Perfect.

You got it.

I can't wait for tomorrow. Jeez.

Then reduce
the heat...

No, no, no.

Don't take the pie out yet,
it's not done!

That's a soggy bottom
waiting to happen.

Oh, I am so proud of you, sweetie.

The Center for Contemporary
Art and Design.

I mean, what an honor.

When you're a big shot,

remember who bought you
your first tube of silly putty.

Alright, alright, now eat.

Gosh, I can't even believe
I got in.

I submitted so last minute.

Yeah. Well, Clay, I think you
had something to do

with igniting Rachel's
passion again.

Actually, it was David.

David?

The comedian.

Huh. What a great guy!

We've actually become
pretty good friends

over the past few months.

The plot thickens.

It practically congeals.

To Rachel.

Yes, to Rachel!

L'chaim, yay!

L'chaim!

Does it come in a box?

That's the good stuff,
I want you to know that.

That's the good stuff.
You want a little more there?

Yeah, sure...

Careful.

Uh, I'm gonna go make
a quick phone call.

I'll be right back.

[G]

Thank you for meeting me
between sets.

I am trying to get in
as much practice as I can

before this showcase.

Of course.

So, what do you get
if you win the showcase?

Well, you get to perform
at the comedy festival.

Which can lead
to more professional gigs.

You know, uh... touring,
colleges, even TV spots.

And that's guaranteed
if you go to this festival?

No, but it's...
it's great exposure.

A lot of the greats' careers
started at Laugh Fest.

What's it pay?

Nothing.

Hey. Hi. Uh...
how's it going?

Hey. Uh... really
great actually.

Um... so, that art contest.

Um... I actually submitted
and I got in.

Wow. That's, uh...
that's amazing.

Congratulations.

Thank you. I mean it.

I don't think I would've done it

if you hadn't so annoyingly
pushed me to.

So, I just wanted to say
thank you for believing in me.

Yeah. Well, you're easy
to believe in.

The other reason I'm calling
is because I just found out

the art exhibit is the same
night as your show.

Oh. So, you won't be
able to, uh...

be there. Yeah.

Yeah, it's cool.
Um... it's no big deal.

You know what?

I'm... I'm sorry for not being
there for your big night.

Talk to you soon.

Okay.

Oh... oh, here.
You can put 'em both here.

Oh... there it is.

You could do it at the exhibit.
It will be so romantic.

Do you think she'll be happy?

Are you kidding me?
With a face like that,

you've got a perfect score on
the LSAT's and you can cook?

It was like you were
made for her.

I was.

Yom Kippur.

Yom... uh... Yom Kippur
is a day of atonement.

Are you nervous?

Nervous?
Why would I be nervous?

It's only the biggest night
of my career.

We starve ourselves
and apologize a lot.

Come on!
This is my favorite shirt.

This is a bad sign.

I've never seen you
this nervous before.

Why would I be nervous?

It's just the opportunity
of a lifetime.

But you got in!

Your work is in the museum,
that's enough.

You know what?
It doesn't matter.

Because people are always
gonna criticize your work

once it's out there.

Yeah, but you got
into the showcase.

Doesn't that mean you're already
good enough?

There's so much that's beyond
my control.

Like... the scout could have
a bad day.

I could remind them
of somebody they hate.

There could be a heckler.
Everything needs to be perfect.

And half my invites
aren't even coming anymore.

I'm sorry I can't be two places
at once.

I wish David could've made it.

He's the one that encouraged me
to put myself out there again.

Look, don't worry about it.

She's your girlfriend,

you should be there
to support her.

I'm hoping she'll be more than
my girlfriend after tonight.

What do you mean?

Give this a peek.

You still have feelings
for David.

I don't know why.

Well, love doesn't always have
an explanation.

It just happens.

I'm sorry if I made you
feel like

you shouldn't be following
your heart.

Anyway, it doesn't matter
because David is seeing someone

and I have the most perfect man
in the world

who I know loves me.

And I would be crazy
to mess that up.

Yeah.

That's, uh...
that's a beautiful ring.

Do you think she'll say yes?

I think she'd be crazy not to.

I am so excited!

Alright.

The level of
detail is truly remarkable.

What inspired you
to create this piece?

Well, I was remembering a time

when I knew exactly who I was
and what I wanted.

No second-guessing myself

or wondering if I was making
the right choices.

I miss that girl.

Hmm. Don't we all.

Well, I think you have a bright
future ahead of you.

I'd love to see more
of what you can do.

Thank you.
Thank you so...

Oh!

- Hi
- Congrats.

This is amazing.
Is she also gonna wake up?

Um... this is Clay,
my boyfriend.

Nice to meet you.

- He's always kidding around.
- Pleasure.

Idea... If she does wake up,

let's adopt her and name
her Claychel.

Oh, look!
My parents are here.

Why don't you go say hi to them.

Alright.

He looks very familiar.
Is that the jeans guy?

It is.

Mazel tov.

I am so sorry.
Who are you?

I'm Rachel's cool neighbor
and close, personal friend.

I am Doris.

Doris... Doris, hi.
It's nice to meet you.

Shouldn't you be at
Rachel's exhibit?

Yeah. Hold your horses,
I'm heading there.

I just thought that maybe
you'd wanna join me.

No, I can't.

I... I have a show
in a few minutes.

Actually, I need to get going.

Listen to me, David.
I think you want to be there.

Honestly, I don't.

Okay? Clay is gonna
pop the question.

I really don't need be there
to watch that happen.

You wanna be there
because you love her.

What?
No... I... No, no, no.

She's with Clay,
Clay's a great guy.

Look! This may be
your last chance.

Just go there,
tell her how you feel.

Hey. You're up, man.
You going up or what?

Thank you all for being
here tonight

to celebrate New York's
brightest new stars.

These bold new voices
reimagine the human condition

and represent the future
of art itself.

And it gives me great pleasure

to announce our
contest winner...

Rachel Becker.

Please join me.

Um... thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

This is really such an honor.

My work has always been
so personal to me

so it's really a joy to discover

that this piece resonates
with so many others.

I'm very humbled to be...

What's... what's going on?

Hopefully you can make
two dreams come true tonight.

I'm sorry. Clay, what
are you doing?

Oh...

Rachel, you've made me
come alive.

To me you're absolutely perfect.

Go, go! Hurry!

All I wanna do with my life
is make you happy.

All I need to be happy...
is you.

David?

No, it's Clay.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

But your show.

It can wait.
This is more important.

Rachel, I'm still down here.

Will you marry me?

I'm in love with you.

You're what?

You love Rachel?

Yes.

And I'm sorry to do this to you
because you...

you've kind of become
my best friend.

But if I don't take my shot,

I'm always gonna wonder if
what she and I had was real.

Rachel... I don't think
you're perfect.

I think you're stubborn
and picky

and you care way too much
about what other people think.

Thanks... David.

But I'm not perfect either.

I'm not gonna agree
with everything you say,

I'm gonna challenge you.

That sounds terrible.

And I'm gonna keep pushing you
to do the things that scare you.

And I'll be right there
beside you,

scared outta my mind,
but the good kind of scared.

The kind you grow from.

I wanna grow together.

Do you remember what you said
about your perfect man?

Someone who accepts
everything about you,

who supports you unconditionally.

I would never fight with you
or try to change you.

I would sacrifice everything
for your happiness.

Because that's all that matters.

Rachel, honey...
what is there to think about?

There's a lot to think about, Mom.

Everything I thought
I wanted was...

This is just so far
from how I pictured it.

Honey, this is your perfect man.

Your perfect relationship
Like, like me and Daddy's.

Isn't that what
you always wanted?

Our relationship isn't perfect.

I knew it!

Shh!

This is the most exciting
exhibit we've ever had.

What are you doing?

I love you, Judith,
and I always will

but our kids are
all grown up now.

And I can't continue pretending

that our marriage
never had any bumps.

We just never let you kids see
any of our real fights

and now I wonder if that
was the right thing to do

because it gave you an
unrealistic expectation

of what relationships are.

Mom. Is this true?

Oh girls, I am sorry.

My parents fought a lot

and all I wanted was
for you to see

what a good relationship
could look like.

Mom, people can disagree and
still have a good relationship.

Yes. But you deserve someone
who is devoted to you.

Who will sacrifice everything
for you.

Your father wanted to be a
professional mountain climber.

Clay is giving up
culinary school

to go to law school for you.

What?

And if that isn't love,
I don't know what is.

You're going to law school?

I've been accepted to Harvard.
For you.

For us.

Mom, you are unbelievable.

You can't just mold people
into what you want them...

Clay... you are perfect.

You're everything I thought
I wanted in a man.

But sometimes what we want
isn't...

Always what we need.

I thought I wanted
someone who...

Would never challenge you.

Who would always do
what you wanted.

- That isn't...
- Realistic.

And it's not fair.

To either of us.
No, I'm sorry.

I'm more sorry.

He's even perfect when
she's breaking up with him.

I know.

Oh, I guess I should take off
this amulet then.

No!

But my purpose is to love you.

Then I give you new purpose;

to do what makes you happy.

To follow your passion
and then see where it leads you.

To love again.

Oh boy.
Elbow never lies.

So, I don't have to go
to Harvard,

I can go to culinary school?

Go be happy.

Clay... I just saw
Ian Dimmerman.

He owns some of the most
chichi restaurants in town

and he's always looking
for talent.

I'm telling you,
he's really connected.

I'll introduce you but you
let me do the talking, okay?

Okay.

Ian. Ian, Ian!

I got the next Bobby Flay
right here.

I'm, uh... I'm sorry
they're dead.

I was in a rush.

Well, lucky for you,

I don't need things
to be perfect anymore.

Good.

That takes the pressure
off of our first kiss.

Yeah, well... if
you're a bad kisser...

I may need to re-evaluate.

Oh, boy.

Yes!

So, do you need to re-evaluate?

Three, four.
