JOHN:
Excuse me, uh,
this may sound crazy,

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

Hello.
Hi.

Mm! Love your smell.

I brought you something.
What'd you get me?

What'd I get you?
What'd I get you?
Mm-hm.

[RUSTLING]
Boom.

[GASPS]
My favorite! Oh!
Mm-hm.

Why eat regular
when you can go Tropical?

Yeah, Tropical.
Mm-hm.

All right, what you got?
What you been drawing?

Oh! Ooh.
[GASPS] Not yet.

Is Bhoomi finally ready
to become a butterfly?

No. She's perfectly fine
just as she is.

Stop trying to change her.
All right.

So Roxy's tonight?

Or I was thinking...
Mm-hm.

...how about we stay in
and I can cook?

No, thanks.
What do you mean?

Baby, come on, you think

I'll let you back
in the kitchen after last time?

Wait a minute, that was
your mom's branzino recipe.

Your favorite.
Heh. I don't know what that was.

Never cooking
for you again.

Thank you.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I got to go.

Why?
Gotta go.

I got a meeting.
Don't go.

Babe, you know
I'll be thinking about you.

I wanna show you something.
Whoa.

I knew you were here
the whole time.

Twist ending. How?

Well, I could feel you.

Also, I could see you
in that reflection with my eyes.

[LAUGHS]
Damn, I look good!

Oh, that's just
an artist's touch.

JOHN:
You're a lucky lady.

I am. Mm! I'll see you later?

Love you so much.
Love you.

Bye.
Bye.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

SUZY:
Hey, it's your sister,

doing my daily check-in.

How's it going today?
How's Mom and Dad?

Wanna give me a call
and catch up?

Ma?
[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

Suzy again. You know what?

You didn't call me back,
but that's fine.

Papa?
SUZY: What do you do

with Mom and Dad
at night there?

I'm just curious.

Do you guys hang out

and watch British Bake Off?

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
I know you're still grieving,

but I just wanted to say
I really miss you.

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
Hey, it's Suzy again.

Like the new drawings.

Little dark, though.
Don't you think?

Maybe you should come back
to the city, to your room,

which is empty,
in our apartment?

[PENCIL SCRATCHING]

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]
SUZY: Mira, enough.

You know I'm not great with
words, but John loved you.

And I'm sure he would not
wanna see you stuck like this.

[MIRA SIGHS]

[ANSWERING MACHINE BEEPS]

Mom and Dad
want their house back!

Do I have to come and get you?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Bye, Papa.
Bye, beta.

Drive safely.
I will. Bye, Mom.

[SPEAKS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Okay. I got it. Bye.

Bye.
Bye.

See you, Mom.
Bye.

DAD:
Tell Suzy she needs
to text her parents back.

I will.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

She's here!

I can't believe you're still
driving John's truck.

It still smells like him.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Come here.

No, I get the top.

[BOTH LAUGH]

I'm stronger than you.
Okay.

I'm really happy
you're doing this.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]
Shit.

["PEDESTRIAN AT BEST"
CONTINUES PLAYING]

Céline Dion?

Like... Heh.

Like, "My Heart Still Goes On,"
that Céline Dion?

Too commercial for you,
is it, huh?

If you kept up
with what the kids were saying,

you'd know we were in the middle
of a Célinaissance.

Drake is talking about getting
a tattoo of her face.

What? How do you know that?
Instagram.

I should be starting
the podcast for the newspaper.

No, what you should be doing
is leaving my office

to go work on Céline Dion.

Now, you seem
to forget, Rob,

that I've taken a big chance
hiring you, fellow Brit.

But ever since you were publicly
humiliated by that woman--

Elizabeth.
Ever since Elizabeth

dropped you like a stone

just days before your wedding,

well, your work
has lacked heart.

Huh. Heh.

Céline Dion
is all about heart. Okay?

People adore her.
I adore her.

So get onboard,
or I'll find someone who will.

MIRA:
S-A-D, sad.

[SNORTS] Are you joking?
Shut up.

It was the only one
I could find.
Heh!

[PHONE CHIMES]

It's just five.
I'm gonna lose this game.

Aw! Bernard wrote back.

Bernard's back
in the picture, huh?

Mm, not quite sure.

But he wrote,
"See you soon, dot, dot, dot."

With a winky smiley.
Means he wants to see me.

I don't know about that.
Sounds like a blow-off to me.

What? No. Winky smiley.

That's, like, way more, rrr,
like, meaningful

than, like, a regular smiley.
You know what's crazy, Suzy?

Our parents worked their asses
off to send us to college,

and here we are,
decoding the winky in a smiley.

Here you are, ladies.
Two Miras, medium rare.

Wait, what is a Mira?

When they put the fries
inside the burger.

Mo, you named
a burger after me?

Of course.

I name burgers
after all my favorite customers.

It's good to see you.
God, I missed you around here.

You, not so much.
[CHUCKLES]

How you holding up?

You know.
Yeah.

Takes a long time.

Yeah. I still have
a ways to go, I think.

Well, you know,
there's no clock.

God knows, I...

I still miss Roxy every day.

How do you deal with it, Mo?

Pour a glass of wine,
sit down for dinner,

and tell her about my day.

Just because she's gone

doesn't mean I can't still
tell her about my feelings.

The ice, it thickens.

Someday,
it'll support your weight.

I promise.

Is there something
I can help you with, Lisa?

You're lucky.
I love Céline.

Hughes wanted to make sure
you got one of these.

No. I have a phone.

No, you have
a personal phone.

This is a work phone,

issued by our new
corporate overlords.

I don't wanna deal
with another phone.

I took the phone!
Take the phone.

It's not a choice.

And you?
Duh.

Fine, fine.
Yeah, uh... Be careful.

There's a rumor Hughes

is tracking everything we say
and do on that.

What?
Hey.

When are you
going to text Jessica?

I told her you would. It's kind
of rude to keep her waiting.

I told you,
I'm not looking to date.

Why not? You're, like,
peaking physically.

You don't wanna be out there
when you're on the decline.

Yeah, she's right. You know,
just let me set you up.

You're not even
on the apps anymore.

Love isn't real. It--

[SIGHS]
It's just a bunch of pheromones
that wear off.

Then you get your heart
ripped out,

covered in bleach, stomped on,

set on fire in front of your
friends and your family and...

BILLY: Oof.
SUZY: Hey, boo.

Any reason you left these things
out in the truck?

Well, his mom
gave them to me.

I just never opened it.

What? Wait. No. Suzy.

Come on, it's been two years.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SCOFFS]

[SIGHS]

If you weren't my sister,

I'd probably be like,
"Easy there, girl,"

but, nah, I totally get it.

[CLEARS THROAT, SIGHS]

Orpheus and Eurydice?

He used to play that for me
all the time,

said that he'd go
to hell and back for me.

That's what
the opera's about.

Oh, God. He was the best.

[VOICE BREAKING]
He never got the chance.

Okay. This, I don't know,
feels a little unhealthy, maybe?

What's wrong with it?

I'm just wearing
my dead boyfriend's shirt

and the engagement ring
he never got to give me.

Come here.

Come on.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Oh-- Sorry.
Sorry.

Interesting.

Is she using the leaf
to blot her tears?

Well, it would be weird
to give her a tissue.

Look, Mira.

We make
children's books here.

Children.
Remember them?

Little people who like to look
at bright pictures and laugh.

Well, maybe it's better
to prepare them.

That life will inevitably crush
their hopes and dreams.

They tell us
not to pressure creatives.

But after two years, I think I'm
allowed to put a little on you.

Molly, could you come in here,
please?

Yes, Ms. Valentine?

Mira, this is Molly.

Hi.
Big fan.

Molly's a paid intern
from NYU.

Scholarship kid.

Raised by
a single mom.

That's amazing.

She'll lose her job
if you don't figure this out

and turn in something
we can publish.

Oh. And I'll have to sue
for your advance as well.

Thank you, Molly.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Player.

Hey. Ahem.

Lisa.

Do you wanna talk?

Maybe somewhere private?

Okay.

Look, first of all, I want
to say I'm flattered, really.

It takes a lot of guts

to share your feelings
with someone and...

What?

Hey, it's, uh...

"It's crazy
to reach out like this"?

"We should be together."

Oh, my God. Gross.

Rob, you could be,
like, my dad.

I'm, like, 35. I'm 35.

Ugh.
Not much older than you are.

I'm pretty cool.

Yeah, whatever.
I just thought--

You didn't send me a text?
What text?

No way. I don't flirt like that.
I'm, like, good at it.

I think they're nice.

[PHONE CHIMES]
Ooh!

Whoa, that's super sad.

Who is sending me these texts?

Someone's smishing you.

Phishing, but by text.

First, they lure you in,

then they ask
for your credit card number.

Delete it.
Yeah.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Céline, you're arguably
more popular today

than when you started.

How do you think you've managed
to stay relevant for so long?

Hm. What a question.

Do you ever
stop and ask yourself

why people
continue to read your work

as a middle-aged
male journalist?

Maybe it's because if the work
is good, it's timeless. Yeah?

Miss Dion,
it's been over a decade

since you've toured
in the States.

I'm curious. Why now?

For five years,
it's been tough.

Raising my children
after the loss of their father,

the love of my life,
my husband, Réne.

[PHONE CHIMES]
And at the same time,

I didn't want to just
sit around and be sad.

So I decided to hit the road
and do what I love.

Tell me about it.
What was that?

Nothing. Just--
I was responding to a text.

Sorry.
Oh. Cool.

Feel free to talk with friends
if I'm boring you.

No, no, no, it wasn't--
I mean...

I wouldn't say it was a friend.

[PHONE CHIMES]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Do you have a question for me?

Um...

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Sure. Um...

Miss Dion... Céline, you sing
a lot about love, obviously.

For example, in
"That's the Way It Is," you say:

"When you're ready to go
and your heart's left in doubt,

don't give up on your faith,

love comes to those
that believe it."

But in "When I Fall in Love,"

you say, "In a restless world
like this, love is ended...

before it's begun."

What's the question?

Well, do you really believe
in all these things you sing?

You obviously
know nothing about it.

What?

Love.

[PEOPLE MURMURING]
[SCOFFS]

JOURNALIST:
Céline, are you taking your
children on tour with you?

Who are you texting?

No one.

This the same "no one" that
you were texting last night?

Yes, actually.

But trust me,
it's totally not what you think.

Mira,
there is nothing wrong

with putting yourself
back out there again.

Oh, my God, stop, please,

I wouldn't even know
where to start.

Oh, oh, oh.

Well, it's kind of amazing
that you say that

because your sister,
who loves you,

who's kind of awesome
and got your back,

might have already started you
on an app.

Sorry, what?

I hate apps!
I know. I know.

They're the worst.
But...

you're beautiful, young,

and have your whole life
ahead of you.

You're not allowed
to give up on dating.

So just take a look.

What? No, no.
I'm not ready for this.

Okay, why is every guy
shirtless?

I wouldn't talk
to any of these guys.

But you don't have to worry
because it's Bumble.

So the woman
makes the first move.

What? What do you think?

No? What about this guy?

Okay. So we do
a little right swipe.

I didn't tell you to swipe.
Wait. Stop.

It's a match on your first one.
Who even are you?

[CLICKS TONGUE]
Oh.

Come on,
that is such a sign.

So we just do a little "hey"

to see what he--
Don't text him.

Stop.
You texted him?

Yes. Oh, my God,
he's texting back.

[CHIMES]

"Nice pic." Mm.

"Do you wanna go for a drink?"
No.

Yes. It's amazing!
No.

Look, just do it for me,
your sister,

who loves you so, so, so much.

Your happiness is my happiness.
Shut up.

One drink.
You're gonna go?

If you shut up.
I promise.

One drink.

Hi, Rob.
Oh.

You're checking
that phone a lot.

Still getting those
depressing texts?

What?
Lisa told me.

Know what? I don't think
it sounds like a scammer at all.

Really?
It sounds
more like a psychotic stalker.

Or just a really confused
old lady.

Don't believe me?
Text them back.

I couldn't do that.
They're too personal.

Wouldn't want to embarrass
whoever this was.

[CHIMES]
Oh, oh, oh.

Has psychotic grandma
sent another one?

"Guess who's going to that awful
hipster bar Rendez tonight?

Please don't judge,
I already feel so guilty.

And I'm definitely not ready.

But I guess if I don't force
myself, I'll never be."

Great bar. I know that.
Good pick-up spot.

I'm going.
What? Where?

Why?

You're going now? Why?

You're always telling me
to get back out there.

BILLY:
Yeah, no, this is true,

but these are texts
from a literal stranger.

Yeah, but they speak to me.

Oh-- They speak to you?
No. What are you doing, Rob?

You sound like
an insane person right now.

Look, I just need to put a face
to these texts, okay?

[SIGHS]
That's all.

You're gonna go with him,
right?

Uh-- Yeah, right, okay. Thanks.

Do you think
this is healthy?

How are you gonna know
if it's even them or not?

I have no idea.

SUZY: You got this.
Cool plan.

You've got it.
You look gorgeous.

I'm feeling you.
Don't know if I can do it.

You can, it's just a drink.
Suzy.

Come on. No, no, no.
You go in there, okay?

He's a dud, you text me,
I'mma call you,

we'll just say there's a family
emergency. No problem.

Keep your phone on.

Swear to God.
The whole time.

All night. Pinky swear.

I got it. Okay. I'll do it.

[WHIMPERS]

Mira.

I know.

Hey. Listen, you know

I loved John like a brother,
right?

Okay, so I'm saying this

with the hugest amount
of love

and the greatest amount
of respect.

This guy tonight doesn't have
to be your soulmate.

You don't have to like him.

If the body's good,

you go in there,
you get the D.

There's not gonna be
any getting of any D.

Trust me, you need the D.

You make it sound
like a vitamin deficiency.

Yeah, you kinda do.
Vitamin D deficiency.

[LAUGHING]
Come on, go get in there.

Hey, none of those
"Would you rather" questions.

I know you.
Everyone loves my questions.

Newsflash:
Nobody loves your questions.

Come on. You got this.
You got this!

Okay, okay.
Whoo!

Mira's got it.
She's looking fly. Whoo!

Yeah, okay.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, gross.

This shit is like the musical
equivalent of Cheez Whiz.

Rob, check out that guy there.
Don't look, but look.

Don't...

Yeah?
What do you mean?

Maybe he is your texter.

You said they were
from some psycho granny?

Or a sensitive silver fox.
He has super kind eyes.

Would you like
to go talk to him?

Why would you insult me,
Rob?

I'm here for you, buddy.
Nobody else.

How could you say that
to me, Rob?

[♪♪♪♪♪]

What?

Wait, wait.

I think I've seen her before.
Okay, cool.

Mira.
Yes. Hi.

Hi.

Please.

I will be two minutes.

[PHONE CHIMES]

Sorry, one second.

All good over there?
Gonna put my phone on silent.

I have a question for you.
Hm.

Would you rather live
your entire life with...

silent but uncontrollable gas,

or loud,
uncontrollable sneezes?

Neither.

Just pick one.
Or you get both.

Stop it.

It's too much pressure.

[SINGSONGY]
I have his number.

[NORMALLY]
Unlock your phone.

Let's just
check into the numbers

and make sure this guy
is not your texter.

And it is not.

totally gonna smash later.

Yeah.

Oh, my...

[PHONE CHIMES]

Wait.
Mm-hm.

I think it might be her.
Really?

Because she's on her phone?
Yeah.

BILLY:
He's texting.
The barperson's texting.

Could be anybody.
Why do you think it's her?

Does that guy look like
he does too many push-ups?

No, that's not
too many push-ups.

It's the perfect amount
of push-ups.

She's not having
a good time with him.

No, no, no, she is not.

She is so miserable
and so lucky you're here.

[SINGSONGY]
Oh. They're leaving.

I bet I could bench-press you.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

You know what, Rob?

[CLICKS TONGUE]
Uh...

This night is not a total loss,
you know?

Because...

I'm gonna get laid.

Maybe we just take it
a little slower?

Yeah.
Yeah?

Sure. No problem.
Okay. Okay.

What are you doing? Ahem.

I'm going slower.

Well, that's not what I meant.

Wait, are we not gonna have sex
at your place?

No! When did I say that?

Did I give you mixed signals
or something?

No, it's fine. I just wish
you would've told me sooner.

[CLICKS TONGUE]
Okay.

Are you looking
for another date right now?

Uh-- Yeah. Yeah.

Because you
don't want to have sex

and I have to burn off
these calories.

Those drinks had a lot of carbs.
Know what? Get out.

Get out. Now, now, now.
Okay. Okay.

Take a fucking run.
It'll burn off those carbs!

[PHONE CHIMES]

I miss it too.

Ready?
Yeah.

Let's go.

Rob Burns, New York Chronicle.
Nice to meet you.

Yeah. The rude texter.

[CHUCKLES]

Th-That's me.

Let me see your hands.

These?
Please.

Come over
and give me your hands.

Hmm.

Strange.
You have very manly hands.

And yet, you act
like a little boy.

What? Heh.

I don't act like a little boy.
Let me ask you a question.

And I want you
to be totally honest.

Okay.

Are you a fan of my music?

Yes.
Liar.

Why do you say that?
You don't know how to hear it.

No offense...

Céline.

I think I can grasp
lyrics like, um...

"If I hear you breathe,
I get wings to fly."

Has anyone ever made you
feel like that?

Have you ever made someone else
feel like that?

You have, haven't you?

I see it.

I thought so.

A while back, but...

It didn't work out.

And you've been stuck
ever since?

How'd you know that?

Because you have the presence
of a pair of used underwear.

Sit up straight.
Sit up straight.

Come on, man,
you're with Céline Dion!

Okay.
Okay, Mr. Underwear.

Do you have someone
in your life right now?

I--

I think I might have feelings
for someone I've never met.

You are more interesting
than you look. Go on.

["ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE"
OPERA PLAYING]

[EARS RINGING]

Oh, shit.

[SIGHS]

[♪♪♪♪♪]

I feel like I got to know her
through these texts.

You know, maybe I'm just
fooling myself.

These texts you're receiving
are saying something.

Things like this
don't just happen.

You need to pursue this.

Really?

You don't think it's crazy

to fall for someone like this?

Oh, it might be crazy.

But love doesn't always
follow the rules.

Take my situation,
for example.

René had always been my manager
my entire career.

But I never thought of him
in that way...

until one night in Dublin.

[CHUCKLES]

What happened in Dublin?

We were there for the Eurovision
song contest,

and it was the night
before finals.

I was about to go
to my hotel room

and get a good
night's sleep.

And René
wished me good night

and gave me a kiss
on each cheek,

like he always did.

But on that night, he stopped
ever so briefly at my lips...

and gave me the softest,
sweetest little peck.

And at that moment...

that kiss on the lips
was the answer to everything

that I was feeling
deep down inside of me.

It was as if that kiss
had unlocked a secret

that had been
in our hearts.

I was his.

And he was mine.

Love has a plan
for each and every one of us.

I think these texts
are part of the plan for you.

Time's up.

Oh, um...

We didn't get to the interview.

Come back to me as a man
and we can try again.

Yeah, I'm 35.
Then you still have time.

Love takes courage.

Open yourself

This is not healthy.

No, no.

No. Don't follow me.

ROB:
No, Lisa, call HR.

No! Just calm down, okay?

Just calm down.
Just breathe, okay?

Because you don't even know
if this is from her. Okay?

Okay, it's from her.
Just wait there.

[MUMBLES]

This makes no sense.

"Here, where never is heard
a discouraging word,

is nothing but joy and desire."

LISA:
It's from Orpheus and Eurydice.

The opera? By Gluck?

It's playing
at the Manhattan Opera House.

Sorry.
You listen to "opera" now?

You don't know my life.

Enlighten me, please.

Orpheus travels to Hades
to get back his dead wife.

And he's given permission
to return to Earth with her,

under the condition
that he not look at her face

until they're outta Hades.

Why?
I don't know.

'Cause the gods are dicks.

Anyway, Orpheus can't resist

but look at Eurydice's face

because people are weak

and love makes fools
out of everyone.

So he ends up losing her.
All over again.

I'm gonna go see it.

BILLY: Why?
Obviously,
it has meaning for her.

BILLY:
Oh, okay. Uh, how do you know
if she's even going?

LISA:
And if she does,
you still won't know when.

I'll just keep going
until she shows up.

[SCOFFS]
You'll just keep going?

That is...
That is so crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah, but like she said...

love makes fools of everyone.

No.

[CHUCKLING]
So...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Did you, um--
Did you like the show?
Yes.

Very much so, actually.
And you?

Yeah. Yeah, I thought
it was so...

hopeful.

Hopeful?

Really?
Yeah.

Sure, there's a lot
of pain and suffering,

but, ultimately,
love wins in the end.

There's no joy without the
struggle, they go hand in hand.

Just have faith.
Keep looking forward.

At least, that's what I saw.

That's so strange.

I've seen the show so many times
and I never saw it like that.

I guess it's about
how you hear the music.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Would you like my number?

[SQUEALING]

Okay.
Shut up!

I know, right?
And it's true. And get this.

She thinks...

I am interesting.
Ooh.

Really? How do we know
this information?

She texted her dead boyfriend
about me.

I found his Facebook profile.
What?

Yeah. He's who she's been
texting this whole time.

I must have
the dead boyfriend's number.

Yikes. That's not good.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh, my God, it's her.
She's calling me right now.

[LINE TRILLING]

He's not picking up.
Leave a message.

What do I do? What do I do?
Answer the phone, Rob.

Answer the phone! Now!
Pick up the phone.

Come on. This is unbearable.
Answer the phone.

Yo!

Um... Hi. Hi. This is Mira Ray.

From the opera last night.

Yeah, hey. Hey!

How the heck are ya?
I'm good. Um...

How are you?
I hope this isn't a bad time.

No. No, no, no.
I'm just at work.

No. But you're not
interrupting anything.

I work to live,
you know, not live to work.

I'm a music critic
at the Chronicle.

Oh, that's cool.

[SOFTLY]
He's a music critic.

ROB:
Nice weather we're having.

I love a crisp winter's day
in New York City.

Um, yeah. I love the weather.

It's been very weather-y?

Hey, I was wondering,
do you eat?

He just asked me
if I eat.

I mean, I know you eat.

At least, I assume you do.

But some people,
they're just not into food.

They do it because they have to.
Otherwise, they would die.

But I-I love food.

I can't get enough.
Unless, of course, I'm full.

And then I'm like,
"No, I'm all set here."

Yeah, so, specifically,
I was wondering,

would you like to eat?

With me?

Tonight.

Uh, yeah.
I mean, I love food too.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Do you like cheeseburgers?

Are you kidding? Cheeseburgers.
I love cheeseburgers.

Um, I know this cute little spot
called Roxy's. Um...

Do you want to meet there,
say, like, 7 tonight?

Yeah.

That's perfect. That's 7,
that's my favorite time to meet.

Okay.
Well, I'll see you.

Well, see ya.

Wow, I have no words.

[BOTH SQUEALING, LAUGHING]

Oh, my God. Congratulations.

You just got yourself a date
the normal way. No apps.

We're meeting
for cheeseburgers at 7:00.

That's in, like, 45 minutes.

Perfect. Now you can tell her
about the texts in person.

But if I do that,
she'll never speak to me again.

Uh, the truth hurts.
Rob. May I see you

in my office, please?

Actually, sir,
I'm kinda busy.

Rhetorical question.
Now!

How is the Céline Dion piece
coming along?

Good. Really good.

Anything for me to read?

Not yet, but soon.

Okay, well, that's funny
because I've been noticing

quite a few interesting texts
on your work phone.

What?

I don't even know
where to begin.

"My heart is broken.

There's also this aching
inside of me."

Doesn't sound
very work-related to me.

Those are, um...

song lyrics.

From Céline Dion.

Wow!

Sounds like you've made
a connection,

if she's sending
you lyrics.

Yeah.
Heh. Wow.

I'm holding Céline's lyrics
in my hand.

Yeah, you are.

My wife and I danced
to "Have You Ever Been in Love"

at our wedding.

That's a deep cut, sir.
I did not know that.

I just wanted to say that...

I was looking forward to this.

I just felt like
last night at the opera,

I knew you or something.

No, I, uh...

Yeah, I-I've been...

I, uh...

Will--?

Will you excuse me a moment?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Mmm!

I have another question
for you.

Mm. Mm-hm.
Mm-hm.

Would you rather
own ten cats

or have a parrot on your
shoulder for 22 hours a day?

What kind of question is that?

I was...

A bird.

Wins hands down every time.

I mean, I don't get cats.

One minute they're cool,
and the next...

Scratching your eyes out.
Totally.

They're evil.
Unpredictable.

Yes. Agreed.

Pirate bird all the way.

Argh.

[LAUGHS]

MIRA:
You're fun to talk to.

Thanks. But the accent
does all the work.
[LAUGHS]

Can I ask...?

Yes.

Your ring.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I should've taken it off.
No.

I just, somehow...

I just didn't wanna start with,
"Hi, I have a dead boyfriend."

We were very much in love,

and he bought a ring and died
before he could propose.

I'm sorry.

I was engaged once.

Oh, really.
What happened?

I don't know.

She decided
she didn't want

to go through
with it.

The week
before the wedding.

Jeez.
The worst part of it was...

being left
with all these questions.

To be honest,
I may have gone crazy

trying to figure out
what went wrong.

Well, did you figure it out?

Love is a mystery.

And in a restless world
like this one...

it can be ended...

before it's even begun.

[CHUCKLES]
You're funny.

Come on.

Okay.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

MIRA:
Okay, okay.
One more, one more.

Um, would you rather say
everything you're thinking

or never say anything at all?

Mm.

What? No way.
Mm-hm.

What? What?

Mm.

What, you're telling me
you'd choose

to always say everything
you're thinking?

Yeah. I already do.

Okay, what are you thinking
right now?

I think you're very cute.

Why do you love
these questions so much?

'Cause they are
very telling of people

and they cut through
the bullshit.

[ACCORDION PLAYING]

Do you think

you could fall in love
with someone

just through their words?

[COINS CLINK]

Yeah, sure.

But you know what they say.

Actions speak louder
than words.
Ah...

Well, what about
these actions?

[LAUGHS]

What, like...
Oh, we're dancing?

What, are you gonna
leave me hanging?

No, I'm not.
I don't know what to do.

Whoo!
Ooh!

All right.

Wow!
Yeah.

That was smooth.
Thank you.

You're really feeling
this music, aren't you?

Yeah. This isn't...
Playing my favorite song.

Okay.

[SQUEALS]
Whoa.

[LAUGHS]

You know he stopped playing,
right?

Oh.

Well, I still
hear the music.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

[LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

Have you always been
this much into music?

Yeah, definitely.

My mom, she filled the house
with it growing up.

She played everything.
Really?

Classical, rock,

traditional Scottish, jazz.
Wow.

That's really cool.
Yeah, she was pretty cool.

What about you?
What are you into?

I love hip-hop.
Hip-hop's my favorite.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Cardi B all day every day.

Have you heard of her?
She's very catchy.

I'll see you around. Text me.

See you.

Or...

just 'cause we're crazy kids,
um...

we could go back to our places,
shower up, change,

and maybe meet tonight at mine

Yeah, that sounds great.

Yeah?
I warn you,
I'm not much of a cook.

Perfect. Me neither.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, so tonight.

It's been two years.

Ugh! I'm sorry. I'm just...
No, no.

for something like that,

I was so sure
we'd grow old together.

And now I'm the only one
growing older.

He's exactly the same.

Same eyes...

same voice, same smile.

Exactly how I remember it.

I'm the only one
who's changing.

All right, enough about me.

Tell me, um--
Tell me more about you.

What else do you like?

Besides music.

Oh, um...

Well, that's easy.

I love basketball.

We should play some time.

I'd like that.
Mm-hm.

[CLEARS THROAT]
But are you any good?

[GASPS]

Well, you're just gonna have
to find out, now, mister.

I really like your voice.

Tell me more
about why you like basketball.

I feel like you can learn more

by playing ten minutes
of basketball with someone

than you can talking to them
for a whole hour.

How they work
with other people.

Face opposition.
Hm.

And not to sound too grandiose
or anything...

but kind of feel the game
represents life itself.

All these people
are from different places...

gathered to play the same game.

Different cultures, races.

I saw you with that Rob guy...

Ahem!
No, no. No, listen.

And when the last person left
the other night, I sat down.

I poured Roxy and me two shots.

I drank them both,
as I always do.

Then I lit a candle,
and I said to Roxy:

"I will always
be your husband.

But what I'm really missing,
like in my core,

is sharing a joke
with someone

when I'm feeling down
in the mouth."

And dead people,
not so funny.

Oh, nothing.

What should I have said?

"Excuse me, I'd like
to get to know you,

but I keep getting
these text messages

you write
your dead boyfriend.

I would have said
something earlier,

but I didn't wanna take away
the possibility

for you to stay in contact
with him.

I know this is the weirdest way
to get to know someone,

and I understand
if you just wanna walk away.

But I didn't wanna start off
by telling you a lie."

Yeah. Exactly.

Shit.

It might have actually worked.

So, what now?

I don't know.

I can't call her.

And there's no way
for me to reach her.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

What time's deadline?
LISA: Why?

I don't like that look
in your eyes. Rob!

BILLY:
Oh, boy.
This is very stressful.

Where are you going?
Rob?

BILLY: Can you just calm down?
LISA: Rob!

[PHONE CHIMES]

Holy shit.

What?

Bernard just sent me this

and asked me if I'd seen it.

I don't need to read that.

"Texts for Mira...

by Rob Burns."
Stop.

"This was actually supposed
to be a profile on Céline Dion

as she continues
on her first American tour

in over ten years at the
Barclays Center this weekend.

My assignment
was to get her to open up,

reveal who she really is.

Unfortunately,
I did not succeed.

Instead, Miss Dion opened me.

When she told me I wasn't
capable of hearing her music,

I scoffed.
What was there to hear?

A bunch of sentimental
platitudes on life and love?

SUZY & ROB:
I had no room for such nonsense
in my life because..."

ROB:
...because I knew
love was a myth.

A shared delusion
between two people

that could end as soon
as someone changed their mind.

Then I got your texts.

Slowly, I began
to realize Céline was right.

I couldn't hear the music.

'Cause my heart
had given up on love.

I know
you didn't mean to text me

your innermost thoughts
and feelings, but you did.

And I made a big mistake by not
telling you that right away.

And I do not deserve
a second chance.

But thanks to you,
I can hear the music again.

I hear it in the sound of your
voice when you call my name.

Your laughter after asking me

ridiculous "Would you rather"
questions.

And that slow,
gentle breath you take

just before falling asleep.

I know love is real

'cause I've fallen in love
with you.

And if you can find it in your
heart to forgive me,

I promise I'll do everything
I can to earn your trust back.

'Cause a new day
has come for me, Mira.

Where it was dark,
now it's light.

Where there was pain,
now there's joy.

Where there was weakness,
I found my strength.

And I'm not afraid
to tell the world...

I've been touched by an angel
with love.

Meet me tonight at the place

where I learned
to hear the music again.

"Please give this
another chance.

Please give me another chance."

[PHONE RINGING]

[TUTS, SIGHS]

Seriously? She listening?

Céline Dion.
[LAUGHS]

What even is your
life right now?

Just...

Hello?
CELINE: First off,

I want you to know that Rob
didn't put me up to this.

Sure.
You know I lost my husband, yes?

He was the first
and only love of my life.

I'm so sorry.

René may have lied to me once
before we were married.

He did?

Yeah.

About Seal.

The animal--

The singer, Seal. Of course.

It was 1991,

and Seal, the singer,

had just released
his first album.

I wanted to sing a duet
with him so badly,

but René told me
he wasn't too interested.

Turns out René was jealous.

He didn't want me
around Seal at all.

Were you mad when he lied?

[CHUCKLES]
Of course I was mad.

But we worked through it.

Because that's what you do
when you're in love.

You work through things.

Also, René agreed
to do the dishes for life

in return for my forgiveness.

You guys did your own dishes?
No.

We don't do a lot of dishes.
But you get the point?

[SIGHS]

I'm just a bit confused.
Look, Mira.

I don't really care whether
you and Rob get together.

You don't?

No. My only concern is you.

Now...
how's my poster coming along?

I'm working on it.

HUGHES [SCREAMS]:
Have you lost your mind?

This is a newspaper.

Not some sort
of dating service.

What am I supposed
to tell our publishers, eh?

What are they gonna say?

They are serious people.

You have put the entire
newspaper's reputation at risk!

Rob, this is the most
unprofessional behavior

I have ever seen in my life!

No!

You total dickhead!

I have to make them think
I'm ripping you to shreds.

Or else they'll all
try and publish stories

about their personal lives.

Aah! I can't bear you!

You think you could slip
something by me?

I'm sorry?
What? Don't answer me back!

Well done.
It was quite a moving piece.

Thank you.
It's great for you

'cause, well, I've decided
you can do your podcast.

What? Seriously?

That's amazing.

Well, you gotta
win her back now.

Make for a hell
of a follow-up piece.

You've got your heart back,
Rob.

Well done.

Thank you, boss.

Now get out!
Yeah.

A little while ♪

JOHN:
Of course, I didn't realize

that'd be the last text
I ever send you.

What would you have sent?

I don't know.

"I love you. Forever."

Or maybe

a gif from The Notebook.

A gif from The Notebook.

[SCOFFS]

Stupid.

What am I supposed to do now,
John?

I think...

you're supposed
to just keep living your life.

It's easy for you to say.

You're dead.

That's right.

So, what are you doing
still talking to me?

I miss you so much.

I miss you.

But you know
I want you to fly, right?

[ACCORDION PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

[KNOCKING]

Is she here?

No. I don't know where she is,

and she's not answering
her phone either.

Okay.

Uh, wait.

You should come in
and take a look at something.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

It's beautiful.
Hm.

ROB:
It looks like
she's finally moving on.

And I'm happy for her.

I'm sorry, dude.

Sometimes people just aren't
in the same place, you know?

Yeah.

[♪♪♪♪♪]

Wait, that's it.
Hm?

Suzy, that--

That's-- Why?
Thank you.

Yeah, sure. Anytime.
Glad I could--

Uh... Okay.
Catch up with you later.

Thank you.

Mira!

[PHONE CHIMES]

Mira!

I was starting to wonder
if you changed your mind.

I'm sorry. I was in the park.
Yeah. I figured.

Also, Suzy sent me
about a thousand texts

telling me that.

I have a few conditions,
Rob.

Of course.

First of all, no more lying.
Never.

I won't.
Ever, ever, ever again.

I need the full truth
from you at all times.

Even if it's messy.
Even if it's painful.

Especially
if it's messy and painful.

'Cause that's life, you know?

And if we can't get through it
together,

then what's the point, right?

Right.

I'll always love John.

I know.

I'll always miss John.

I know.

And I don't know how this grief
will change over time...

but it's always going to be
a part of me.

I understand.

You understand.

I know.

And I appreciate it so much.

Anything else?

Well, you're gonna have to learn
how to cook 'cause I can't.

I'll sign up
for lessons right away.

And Céline said
you need to do the dishes.

Of course.

Anything Céline says.

Anything more?

Yes.

Kiss me.

Okay.

with me, your host, Rob Burns.

Where we get into
all that really weird stuff

with our favorite musicians.

So without further ado, I'd like
to welcome our first guest.

She is an uber-talented,

multifaceted singer-songwriter
extraordinaire,

philosopher, matchmaker,
the list could go on.

Please put your hands together
and welcome none other than

Miss Céline Dion!

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

Céline,
welcome to the show.

And before we move on
to the really good stuff,

I have a very burning
question for you.

Ooh.
Would you rather own ten cats

or a parrot that sits on your
head for 22 hours a day?

Oh. Uh...

I'd go for the parrot.

Right answer.
Yes!

Céline, we're here to talk
about your new tour.

The new album.
The new everything.
Yes.

The new Céline Dion.
