All language subtitles for Planning for Joy (2022) _ Full Movie.mp4

(sighs)

- Every time I think about
buying a place,

I overheat and want
to move back to Ohio.

- Do you really want
to move back to Ohio?

- No, I love Vermont.
(laughs)

- Great! Then let's
make it work here.

Tell me more about what
it will be like

to wake up in your own place.

- Hmm, okay!

I wake up naturally
in my cozy bed,

light streaming in
through bay windows.

Alex brings my coffee and...

Oh! And a puppy jumps
on the bed and licks me

so excitedly,
I almost spill my coffee.

(laughing)

- That sounds like a beautiful
start to your day.

Trish, I want you
to continue envisioning

this future life for yourself.

Really feel it
with all five senses.

- I think I can do that.

- Great. Let's make
this dream a reality.

If you want to own
your own place in five years,

perhaps it's time
to ask for a raise.

- Uh, I don't know.

You know how your aunt
can be about salary

and all of those things.

- Am I interrupting
a therapy session?

- No, sorry, uh...
Hazel was jus--

- I was putting her
through my five-year

goal planning process.

- Uh, I'll just...
Yes, thank you.

- Trish.
- Yes, thank you.

- Hazel, darling,

I didn't see your name
on my calendar this morning.

- Yes, well, I was excited
to surprise you

with my brand new
subscription box!

- You're lucky
I wasn't in court.

(chuckles)

(soft music)

I designed this one
with Mom in mind.

Do you remember how much
she used to love sailing?

- Hazel, you know
I've always thought

that your Daydream
products are beautiful...

- Dreamseeker, and they're
more than just beautiful,

they help people organize
their lives

and achieve their dreams!

- I understand you're very
passionate about this,

but if you're trying to butter
me up for more funding,

you need to try
a different strategy.

Remember you're talking
to a lawyer.

What are your facts?

- Um...

This funding will ensure

smooth production
of our subscription boxes

and allow us to sign
the lease on our storefront.

(sighs)

- You're always dreaming big,

but maybe it's time
that you reconsider

going back to law school.

You're still operating
at a loss and quite frankly,

I'm considering pulling funding.

- I know our numbers
could be better,

but I promise to hit
this quarter's goals.

In fact, I'm going on
The Morning Brew today.

- Really? That's the biggest
morning show in Burlington!

- Exactly! And their audience
is going to love Dreamseeker,

and our sales are just gonna--
- When's your interview?

- I've got... an hour!
- Well, you better get going!

I'll give you my decision
after the interview.

- Thank you.
- And Hazel?

Remember to stick to the facts.

(sighs)
- Stick to the facts.

(upbeat music)

- One minute, people!

(indistinct chatter)

- Finally!
How did it go with your aunt?

- It's... complicated.

- Hi! You gave us
a bit of a scare. You ready?

- Yes! Ready as I'll ever be.

Hi! Hi, so sorry.

- Good morning, Burlington!

Joining us today
is Hazel Thompson,

the founder
of the local planner company,

Dreamseeker Paper Co.

What inspired you
to create Dreamseeker?

(light music)

I was pretty speechless

when I started
using your products too!

What's your favourite
product in the lineup?

- Uh...

- With so many wonderful
products,

I'm sure that's
a difficult choice.

Personally, I love your
signature GoalGetter planner.

And I'm sure that choice
is getting harder

with your new subscription box.

(gulps)

(light music)

Thank you for being
here today, Hazel.

We'll be right back
with more exciting ways

to organize your life!

(indistinct chatter)

Are you okay?

(panting)

- What just happened?
- I don't know.

- It's okay. Let's get you home.
Yeah. Let's get you home.

- Okay, yeah.

(rhythmic music)

I just kept hearing
Sheila's voice in my head

saying, "stick to the facts"

and I froze! No!

- Well, I'm ordering Thai,
what do you want?

- Mm-mm.

- Okay, that's it.
We're not staying.

- We're not?
- Absolutely not.

It was a bad interview,

but you know what
we're not gonna do?

- What?
- Wallow.

- But I want to...
- Not up for debate, let's go.

(sighs)

- Can we just go home?

All I want is ice cream
and trashy TV.

- You need a pick-me-up,
not a drop me-down.

- I'm not letting this place go.

Our five-year plan has to work.

- No more business talk.

I know of this cute
little gastropub

we're both gonna like,
so let's go.

Ooh look, Hazel!
They have games.

- Hmm. I'm really
just not in the mood.

- You're one of the most
competitive people--

- Who do you know that's more
competitive than me?

- How about you go pick
something out

and maybe I'll let you win
to cheer you up.

- "Let me win."
- Mm-hmm.

- Alright.

(soft music)

- How about trivia?
(gasps)

I didn't mean to scare you.

- You startled me.
- What's the difference?

- I'm surprised, not afraid.

- That's oddly specific.

- Well, specificity
is important.

- Speaking of, the 80's trivia
showdown's about to start.

You want to join?
(laughs)

- No, I think rearranging
my sock drawer

might be a little
more fun than that.

- You and I have very different
definitions of fun.

Especially since
I'm hosting the game.

Come on, what have
you got to lose?

- The game. My pride.

Embarrassing myself
in front of strangers... again.

- One of my favourite pastimes!
- You're not helping.

- Just remember,
it's not about winning,

it's about having fun!

- You know, that's what
people who lose

like to say to themselves,
right?

- Hmm. Or people
who enjoy the game

more than the outcome.

- Alright.
- Yeah!

- Okay, we're doing trivia!
- Alright!

(upbeat music)

(indistinct chatter)

- Do you think flirting
is how he gets

people to sign up for trivia?

- Oh! He wasn't
flirting with me.

- It didn't look like that
from over here.

- Okay, well, he wasn't flirting
with me like that.

(laughing)

- Maybe she's a regular.

- Hmm!

- Alright, folks!

Welcome to the 80's trivia
showdown this fine afternoon.

I'm your host, Theo McCarthy.

Now, before we get
rockin' and rollin',

let's go over some rules!

- How does he do that?

I could never do that in front
of an audience like this.

- I mean, it's not exactly
a Fenway-level crowd.

Besides, he might
be a charming host,

but you have something
he doesn't.

- Yeah, what's that?

- An encyclopedic knowledge
of 80's pop culture!

- Touché.
- Mm-hmm.

- We got this.
- Yeah.

- Let's get ready to roll!

Which city hosted
the 1980 Olympics?

- Moscow.
- You know it!

- Question number 2.
What 80's hairstyle

is frequently described as,

"business in the front,
party in the back"?

- Ooh!

- Go ahead, Mallory.
- Mullets!

- Once again, the point goes
to team Don't You Know It!

- You're gonna have to be
a little faster to compete!

- Next one...
- What iconic denim wash

was popularized in the 80's?

- Ooh! Ooh!

- Acid wash.

- And team Never Gonna
Quiz You Up

is on the board!

- Guess you're gonna have
to be faster than that.

- I'll work on my game.

- Alright, I've been
taking it easy on you,

so we're gonna switch it up
with a two-parter worth double!

When was Calliope's first
number one hit released

and what was its title?
- Oh!

- September 6th 1987,
Mirrorball.

- Eh! Incorrect. Anyone else?

- Like A Star.
August 16th, 1988?

- Ding! Ding! Ding!
You've got it.

Two points for team
Don't You Know It!

- But you didn't say "top 100"

you just said,
"top number one hit."

- Well, top 100 was implied,
see, it's on the card.

- But you didn't say top 100,
you just said number one hit.

And Mirrorball hit number one
on the dance charts

at least a year before
Like A Star was even released!

So...

- Would you like
to come up here and host

since you're such an expert?

(crowd laughing)
- No, I'm sorry,

I just wanted
the points we deserve.

- Alright, I'll give
you one point a piece

and we'll move on.

- It's alright,
we can still win.

(sighs)

- I thought this was supposed
to make me feel better.

- It was still fun, wasn't it?

- Well, I guess.
- Hmm!

- Hi, we didn't order these.

- It's on the house.
Consider it a thank you

for keeping my big brother
on his toes!

- Older siblings always
think they're right.

(chuckles)

- Are you a "Know-It-All"?

- Obviously not,
we just lost at trivia.

- No, not like that.

It's what the fans
of Theo's show call themselves.

- What's it called?
- He would have a show.

- In the Know with Theo.

He travelled the world
talking to locals,

eating their food,
you know, the usual.

- I mean, to be honest,

I'm not the biggest fan
of travel shows.

I prefer to appreciate
what's in front of me.

(chuckles)
- I'll, uh...

drop by your table
more often then.

(upbeat music)

- So, how are subscription sales
numbers looking?

- The last 10 boxes we've put
together haven't sold yet.

- Oh.

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

- They're looking really good.

(humming softly)

(doorbell rings)
Ooh!

Ooh, cupcakes.

(gasps)

- Oh, no.

- Oh, yes! Cupcakes!
Why the long face?

- Pity cupcakes.

Aunt Sheila must have
sent those.

- Oof. "I'm here
when you're ready."

Yikes. Law school?

(phone rings)
- Yup.

It's the producer
from The Morning Brew.

- Answer. Answer!

- Amelia, hi!

I'm so sorry about...

- It happens more often
than you'd think.

Listen, can you come back
next week?

- After what happened yesterday?

- Margo is a huge
Dreamseeker fan

and she really wants
to give you another shot.

Would Tuesday work?

- Um...

Yes, yeah, Tuesday works.
- Great.

I'm sending more prep
materials now,

in the meantime,
I strongly encourage you

to do some media training.

I've emailed you a list
of coaches that we've used.

- Thank you.

- Just don't make me
regret this.

- I will do my best.

- The cupcakes can wait.
Let's get you a coach!

- Is that really necessary?

I was thrown off by Sheila, yes.

But it won't happen again.

- Can we at least look?

- Okay, but we're just looking.

(upbeat music)

- Okay.

Ooh! Isn't that the cute
trivia host from last night?

- He is just
so comfortable on camera.

I want his secret.

Okay, great. We'll let you
know what we decide.

- I'm guessing that's a no too?

- He wants a 5,000-dollar
retainer and an hourly fee.

- Definitely a no.

- Let's face it, Nor.
This is the universe saying

I don't need a media coach.

- What about him?

- Theo?

- You said it yourself,
you wanted his secret.

Maybe he can teach you.

- Are you just saying that

so you can get intel
on his brother?

- I mean, it could be
mutually beneficial.

(laughing)

- Alright, fine.
I'll do one session,

but only to prove
it was a one-time thing

and I don't need a media coach.
- Deal.

(birds chirping)

- So, this number goes
in the amounts column?

- Not exactly.

Wait a second. Mom,
we've already paid this invoice.

- Are you sure?
It's in the inbox.

- Yes, do you see here?

Same amount,
same invoice number.

(knocking)
- Hi! I'm sorry to interrupt,

Patrick sent me back here.

You know, I like to initial
my invoices in the corner

when I process them.

It keeps me from
entering them twice.

- Initialling
the invoices helps?

- It's one of my go-to
fail safes.

- Ah! Thank you,
that might help.

- Of course.
- How can we help you, my dear?

- Wait...

you're the diehard Calliope fan.

- Oh, I wouldn't say diehard.
Knowledgable, certainly.

- Ah, yes, and so specific.

- Well, that's me.

I need your help.

- You're not starting

a competing trivia game,
are you?

- No. Definitely not.

Could we talk?
- Yeah, sure.

- Thanks.

- What's this?
- A gift.

And maybe a bribe.

- Hmm.

Some people frown upon bribes.

I prefer to hear people out.

(chuckles)

(upbeat music)

These are... journals?

- Planners, all my design.

- Alright. You've got
my attention.

What kind of help
are you looking for?

I own a small planner business

and yesterday, I completely
botched a TV interview.

Now they want me back
and everyone's insisting

I hire a media coach.
- Hmm.

- I was hoping maybe
I could do a session with you

and you could teach me
your secret?

- Can't you just hire a fancy
media coach to do the job?

- They're either unavailable
or way out of my price range.

- So, I'm your only hope.

- Essentially.

- Thanks.

But I don't see this going well.

- Please. Just one session.

Is there anything I could do
to change your mind?

- I've got a better idea.

I see. If you can beat me,

I'll consider letting you
in on my secrets.

- And if I lose?

(whispering): No pressure.

(rhythmic music)

- Solid start.

(clears throat)

(sighs)

(chuckles)

Did I forget to tell you?
I'm terrible at darts.

(laughing)

(laughs)

- Alright.

My turn.

Yes! How many points
is that worth?

- Hmm...

Zero.

You have to land it
on the actual board.

- But I made it stick,
that should count for something.

- Tell you what.

If you can get on the board
on the next one,

I'll give you double points.

(♪♪)

Hey! You did it!
- I did it!

- Alright. Let me show you
how it's done.

- You told me
you were bad at this.

- Eh. I wanted to see if you
could loosen up and have fun.

- So now, you're not going
to help me?

- Hmm...
- Oh, Theo,

at least take her
to bingo tomorrow.

She could pick up
a few pointers.

- That's not exactly
what I had in mind,

but it could be helpful.

- Aside from arguing with you,
what would I get out of this?

- I could help you learn
your accounting system.

That's what you were
working on earlier, right?

- Oh, that's a lovely idea.

Theo is so impatient.

- Fine, but no arguing at bingo.

- Deal! Thank you.
You won't regret this.

(upbeat music)

(humming)

So...

When and where can I meet you?

- Do you really need
two planners?

- I own a planning company.

How else am I supposed
to ensure the product works

if I don't use it?

- I guess.
- What's so wrong with planning?

- Why not enjoy your time?

- I enjoy my time by staying
on top of my goals

and not letting them slip away.

- Since you're such
a rule lover,

I figured you could
read them out.

- Hey! Rules keep
the chaos at bay.

- I thought we weren't
arguing today.

(chuckles)
I'll meet you at the front.

- There?

- Hey! I hope Allie's
college tour went well!

Good to see you!

- Hi!
- Oh wow, look at you!

Nice haircut!

(laughing)
- Good to see you.

- Good to see you back!

Very nice.
I hope recovery went well.

What's going on?

(indistinct chatter)

(upbeat music)

- Theo, there's a vampire
book club meeting coming here

in 45 minutes, so we really
should get started.

Do you think they only read
books about vampires

or are they vampires
reading books?

- One of those seems
significantly more plausible.

- Either way, they suck the fun
out of my catch-up time.

(laughing)

- I didn't realize
this was a family reunion.

- Just being friendly
and warming up our crowd.

- Our crowd?

- Yeah, our crowd.

I have a very special guest
caller with me today.

If we could all give Hazel
a very warm welcome!

Woo!

Hazel, take it away.

- Take what away?

Today we will be playing
not one...

but... not two, but six...

games.

Uh, we will start off
with a traditional game,

but you best believe we're not
going easy on you.

(whispering): Does she have
to be filming this?

- Oh. Just go with it,
it's fine.

Have some fun with it.

- Fun.
- Fun.

- No, I can't do this.

(sighs)

Can you...

(car whooshing by)

(soft music)

(sighs)

On the bright side,
at least this time,

you didn't bomb in front
of 80,000 people.

- Not helping.

- I'm sorry.

I didn't realize
it was that bad.

- Neither did I.

But the cameras started rolling
and everyone was staring at me,

and I just...

- Have you always struggled
in front of crowds?

- Not at all.

I was a debate all-star
growing up!

This should have been
easy for me.

- Why wasn't it?

- It's like I have
two voices in my head.

One that wants me
to be passionate

and the other one wants me
to just stick to the facts.

- Which one's winning?
(scoffs)

- I don't know.

Both. Neither?

And then I just freeze.

(sighs)

- If I told you a book
was 340 pages,

would you want to read it?

- That's not really
enough information.

- Exactly.

And just the facts aren't
enough to sell planners.

- You think I don't know that?
- Thus far, the facts are about

the only thing
I've seen you care about.

- Because the facts
are what matter!

Okay, if I gave you
two planners

and I said one would help

create your most magical dreams,

and the other one
would revolutionize

your finances,

would that be
enough information?

- Probably not.
- See!

- But it's sure a lot more
compelling than page counts!

And so is this passion
right now.

This is how you should
show up in your interview.

- I can't!

I just keep hearing
my aunt's voice saying,

"Stick to the facts."

(soft music)

- Give me another shot.

- It was just supposed
to be one session.

- I promise I'll come up
with something to help

quiet that voice and help you
show up with passion.

Come on. Think of my mom
and her double-entered invoices.

(chuckles)
Please help her.

- Alright, one session.

(bird chirping)

(sighs)

- I'm sensing things
didn't go well.

- That's an understatement.

- Does that mean you're ready
to admit I'm right?

- We're doing another session.

- I'll take my victories
where I can.

Oh. The Morning Brew
prep materials arrived.

They're extensive.

- Do you think I need
to learn everything in here?

- Not sure,
but it came in with this.

- It says to fill in the prep
sheets with the blue tabs.

Okay. So, basically everything.

- At least you've got
until Tuesday.

And if we split them up
over four days,

it shouldn't be that bad.

- It says, "We want answers

by the end of day tomorrow."

- Oh. In that case,

I'm making another
pot of coffee!

- Mm-hmm! Mm-hmm!

(upbeat music)

- Mmm, honey,
that's smelling delicious.

- Thanks! I had it every day
when we filmed in Hungary.

I was thinking that...

it'd be good
for the winter menu.

- Well, it looks very hearty.

- Also fiddly to make.

- You know, we could cut down
on the labour

with pre-packaged noodles.

(scoffs)
- And now you tell me?

- Just think of it as payback

for the Beef Wellington
incident.

- We'd have to take something
off the menu to do that

and Dad's winter menu
is perfect.

- We could try it out for
a week? See how people react?

- No. It's too big of a change.

- We need to stay relevant.

- Yeah, but we don't need
to change everything

that Dad did in order
to do that.

- And we're going
to stop that right now.

No more restaurant talk
for the rest of the night.

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

- Hey!

- Hey! How did bingo go
with Hazel?

- Yeah, how's her cute friend?

- I don't know about her friend,
but it did not go well.

- How'd you mess it up?

- Oh, it's probably
not as bad as you think.

- She fled in under two minutes.

- Oh. So she's a lost cause.
- Oh!

- Yeah, I don't think so.

She's got a lot of passion
in there,

but she gets stuck in her head

and I'm not sure how to help her
show up as herself.

- Does she need to, though?

I mean, you don't really
show up as yourself.

- What are you talking about?
I'm always myself.

- Kind of.

You're Theo, but when
you're hosting and stuff,

you're like Theo Plus.
It's more of a personality.

- Yeah, Patrick has a point.

You have a public persona.

Maybe you could help her
create one too.

- You might be onto something.

(upbeat music)

(indistinct chatter)

You came!

- Of course. I always keep
my appointments.

- Noted.

Come on, let's go shopping.
- Shopping?

No, I don't need new clothes.

- Au contraire.

You need some new
old clothes.

- Well, my producer sent over
this prep binder.

I was hoping maybe
we could go through it.

- I promise this will help

way more than some
stuffy old binder.

- Are you sure?
- Just try it.

I know bingo didn't go well,

but I really think
this will help.

(upbeat music)

- I feel like you're not
taking this seriously.

- I'm taking this exactly
as seriously as I should.

- You look ridiculous.

- Yeah, you need to get
on my level! Here.

Try this on.

- How is this helping?

- It's supposed to be fun!

Like a character to get you
out of your head.

- Well, I definitely
don't look like myself.

- Exactly!
So, let's have some fun.

(♪♪)

Not bad.

- Dogs?

- Hmm.
(laughs)

That's much better!

Yes, that's it!

(laughs)

- Hmm!

(laughs)

It's almost perfect.

It's just missing one thing.

- Now we're talking.

(laughing)

I like your style.

- Oh...
- Alright!

Time for the real assignment!

(♪♪)

Come on.

(laughs)

- Well, aren't you
a sight to behold?

- I aim to please.

- And please you do.

(chuckles)
- I'm being rude!

I don't think you met
the other day.

Hazel, this is my, uh...

Mallory.

- It's really nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

You gave my team a good
run for our money.

- It could have been closer
if Theo had given us

the points we deserved.

- I'm never living
this down, am I?

- Time will tell.
(laughing)

- I have to say,
I'm glad I still won.

Theo's great, right?

- He is.

- Thanks, Mal.

- We're still on for tonight?

- I wouldn't miss it.

(chuckles)

Your mission, should you
choose to accept it,

is to hand out taffy
and give people a laugh-y.

(chuckles)
- That was a terrible joke.

- Ah, but it made you laugh.

- But what if people
start staring at us?

- It'll be fine. The tourists
will think it's funny

and the locals won't care.

Either way,
they get free candy.

- Free candy is pretty great.

- Hmm.

Hey! Good to see you!

Here, enjoy a free sample!
- Thank you.

- Hey, good to see you,
enjoy a free sample.

- No.
- You're welcome, enjoy.

It's okay.

- Candy? Candy.
- No.

Candy?

- Hi, hey! I saw Jenny
got her first teeth.

That's so exciting!
(chuckles)

You're welcome.

How was Slovenia?

Did you check out the places
I told you about?

- Thanks.
- Nice!

Enjoy.
- Thank you.

See you later.
- Hey, Mr. Mayor.

Do you want the rest
of my candy?

Looks like you're running out.

- Mr. Mayor?

There's over 40,000
people in Burlington

and it seems like
you know every single one.

- I'm a friendly guy.

Why don't we make you
some friends?

- I don't know.
I don't seem very good at it.

- Well, maybe you would
if you actually tried.

- I'm trying.

- You're sulking.

- I just don't see how
this is worth my time.

I should be preparing
for my interview,

not handing out candy
to strangers.

- Your audience won't connect

if you're robotically
over prepared.

- What if I alienate them?

- Well, you'll alienate them

by not showing them
your humanity.

And what do humans do?

- Make mistakes.
- Exactly.

They don't always have
the right answers,

but they keep trying.

- No, but what if I make
a mistake in my interview

and destroy my business?

I've worked so hard
to get where I am.

- Okay, let's take a break.

I know where to find
the best cannolis.

Come on!

- Alright.

Hi!
(chuckles)

Oh, they all smell so good,
how am I supposed to choose?

- Pistachio's my favourite,

but Patrick loves
chocolate chip,

and my mom accepts
nothing but Amaretto.

- And your dad?

- His kryptonite was hazelnut.

- Oh, I'm so sorry,
I didn't realize.

- I'll take a pistachio
and the lady will have...

- I'll have the same.

(soft music)

- Mmm!
- Mmm...

- Mmm. Okay, you were right.

- Finally!

- This is the best cannoli
I've ever had.

- Thanks, my dad used to bring
the whole family every week.

He knew everyone
that worked there

and what was going on
in their lives.

- That sounds
an awful lot like you.

- I always wanted
to be just like him.

He's the reason I got the gig
hosting In the Know with Theo.

- Well, that makes sense.

'Cause you are so comfortable
on camera.

Especially with that couple
in Bangladesh,

you didn't even have
a translator!

- You watched my show?

- I watched a couple
of episodes.

- But Bangladesh was one
of the last episodes.

- I jumped around a bit.

- Are you sure you're not
some secret superfan?

Maybe this is all a ploy
just to get close to me!

- Right.

Because we all worship
at the feet of Theo McCarthy!

Did you ever stop to think maybe

I'm just trying
to learn from you?

- Touché.

On that note,

we should get back
to handing out samples.

- I need to learn
from my binder.

- Handing out samples
is going to help you more.

I promise.

- Okay, but...

if we're not going over it now,

then we definitely need
to schedule a time.

(sighs)

(clears throat)
So...

- Let me see this.

You're missing something
from your to-do list.

- I'm absolutely not missing
something from my to-do list.

And my five-year plan
is rock solid.

- Take stick out of...

- Hey!
(laughing)

You know,
at least I have a plan.

- Yeah, but maybe you should
plan to have more fun!

You were doing so well
a minute ago.

What's got those
gears churning?

- What if someone takes
a video of us

and it goes viral or something?

The internet is forever.

- You don't want to be a meme?

- No one wants to be a meme.

- Are you making fun of me?

- What are you talking about?

- Are you kidding?

(laughs)

- You're the Too Spicy Guy?!

- Yep.
- No.

Oh!

- Yeah, I forgot
to tell my producer

that I think ketchup
is too spicy.

Then, they served me
regular spicy food

and now I've gone down
in history

as the Too Spicy Guy.

(laughs)

- I can't believe
you're the Too Spicy Guy.

- Yeah. The first couple
months were annoying,

but only because Patrick
sent me every new version of it.

- I would just die
of embarrassment.

How are you okay with this?

- My philosophy is
if it's immortalized,

it's because
it brought people joy.

- I can't argue with that,
it's brought me joy

on several occasions.
- And you didn't even know me!

- I think we've even used it
on our Dreamseeker

social media channels.

(laughing)

- Give me your pen.

(soft music)

- "Bring joy."

- That's the real mission here.

And for your business.

Would you like
a bodacious taffy?

Right on!

(upbeat music)

(beat-boxing)

(laughing)

- Candy, candy!

Sugar!

And a candy for you!

(laughs)

- And you get one,
and you get one!

(laughing)

(♪♪)

(laughs)

(birds chirping)

- Knock, knock!

- Hazel, darling.

Is that my double foam
hazelnut macchiato?

- You know it!
(chuckles)

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I was trying to remember
Mom's favourite desserts,

but I'm drawing a blank.

Do you know what they were?

- I don't think your mother's
favourite desserts

are your most pressing
issue right now.

- Okay.

I know my interview
at The Morning Brew

didn't exactly go well,

but they're having me
back in a few days.

- They're letting you come back
after that performance?

- They want me to come back.

Margo loves my product,
she believes in it.

- Are you sure
that's such a good idea?

- I promised you I would reach
this quarter's goals

and this is how
I'm going to do it.

Besides, I hired a media
coach to help me.

- Oh. Thank goodness for that.
(laughing)

- In fact, I just came
from a session with him.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- You look a little
bright-eyed for somebody

who just came from
a media coaching session.

What exactly did
you two do together?

- Well, today, we handed
out saltwater taffy

in 80's outfits at the market.

- And this guy is credentialed?

- Not exactly.

He hosts trivia and he had
his own TV show.

- Honey.

Hamming it up for tourists

isn't exactly the brand
of professionalism

you should be striving for.

- He got me out of my head

and that's worth something,
isn't it?

- Well, we'll see.

The entire firm will be
watching this time,

you need to do
the Thompson name proud!

- I will do my best.

(upbeat music)

- You know how I've been
getting a lot of pressure

to open another location?

- Did you get that
Coolidge Corner space?

(chuckles)
- Not exactly.

I was approached
with an opportunity

to set up a new shop
in Los Angeles.

- Congratulations!
That's huge!

- Yeah. See, the thing is,

they want me to move out there
for a year

to get it started.

- Oh. I see.

- Since you've been trying
to get back to TV, I thought...

- You want me to come with?

- Look, I-I know this
is still pretty new,

but this could be a great
opportunity for you too.

- Well, I don't know
what to say.

- Take a bit to think about it.

Just not too long.

- Okay. Wow.
(chuckles)

(soft music)

- Are we going to be okay
if Sheila pulls funding?

- I mean, if the numbers
don't drastically improve,

we'll have to halt production,

but only until we can sell
all our current products.

- Did I dream too big this time?

- Dreaming is your job,
mine is making it a reality.

- Any chance you have
a magic wand you can wave

and get rid of
our money problems?

- Dang, I think I left it
in my magic carriage.

(laughing)

Oh!

New product?

- Maybe.

It's something like
a gratitude journal,

except for how you've made
someone smile that day.

- That's adorable,
like a kindness journal.

- Yeah. Or a joyful journal.

- Ooh, I love that alliteration!
(chuckles)

Where did you get that from?

- Oh, that is from Theo.

It's just a small reminder.

- From Theo, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

- Did this guy inspire
a potential new product?

- He helped me focus
on making someone else smile.

- Hmm.

Maybe that's what
the box is missing.

That final touch to make it
absolutely irresistible!

- It could help.

But it would have to be ready.
Is there any chance

we could have a proof
before the interview?

- I have worked with
much harder deadlines.

Send me the files,
I'll take care of it.

- Are you sure you don't have
a wand hidden away somewhere?

- I can't divulge
all my secrets.

(chuckles)

(upbeat music)

- So, on this screen you can see

all the transactions
for each vendor.

- So, under expenses
and then vendors?

- Exactly!
- Great.

- How's it going in here?
- Oh!

Hazel is such
a very patient tutor.

- Oh! So, I'm not the only one
who gets under Theo's skin.

- Hardly.
- I'm right here.

- Yes you are, honey.

Now, Hazel, why are we looking
at vendor transactions?

- Oh, I always check this when
I'm entering a new invoice.

For example, on this invoice...

- Uh, and it's not in there yet.
- Exactly!

So that tells it hasn't
been paid or entered.

- Great.

- Is that really necessary?

All this paper is distracting.

- It makes it easier for me.

- Research shows
that handwriting notes

helps you remember them better.

- Huh! See? She gets it.
(chuckles)

- You know, I think Eileen
and I have it from here.

You can go recover
from your date.

- Oh, how are things
with Mallory?

- They're... good, I think.

- As long as you're happy,
honey.

- Thanks, Mom.
- Hmm!

- Oh, take good care of her

or I'll make you do
karaoke next!

- What? No, I'm not doing that.
- Don't torture her like that!

(chuckling)

(light music)

- So...

- So what?

When are you going to tell me
about how things are going

between you and Theo?
- What do you mean?

He's coaching me, that's it.

- Mm-hmm.

Because guys regularly
inspire new products.

(laughs)
Spill.

- Okay, he's kind of flirty.

And even if I did like him,
which I'm not saying I do,

he's definitely dating Mallory.

- Oh. That woman from trivia?

- He says he thinks things
are good between them.

- He "thinks" things
are good between them

probably is code for something.

- Well, regardless,
Theo strongly suggested

I bring you
to our session tonight.

- Hmm! If he wants
you to bring me,

then he's probably
bringing someone.

And if the stars are aligned,
that someone will be Patrick!

- There's a possibility!

(upbeat music)

(phone rings)

- Krafty Kitchen,
how may I help you?

Carrie? Oh, um, let me see.

Yeah, just walked in.
Your producer.

- Thanks.

Carrie! How are you doing?

They want to bring
the show back?

Can I think about it and get
back to you in a few days?

Great, thanks.

(phone rings)

- Oh, hey, Amelia.

Did you get the information
I sent you last night?

- I sent over a selection
of answers for your segment.

- Oh, that was fast!

- That's the name of the game
at The Morning Brew.

- I see you shortened
the answers.

- Well, in your case,
shorter is better.

- Should I make notecards
to practise on?

- Absolutely!

- That was kind of a joke...

- Whatever helps you to know
them inside and out.

- Okay. I will work on them.

- Great. I'll see you
in a few days.

- Hey. Nora,
do you know where my, um...

You know me too well.

(laughing)
- Thank you.

- Why'd your producer call?
- Don't worry about it.

- Hello, boys!
(laughs)

So, what kind of trouble are
we getting into this evening?

- Speed networking?

(sighs)

- It's an opportunity
to connect with other

local business owners.

- But what if I have
nothing to say?

- No, no, there's no cameras.
You should survive.

- He's right.
- Not you too.

- I think you're doing great.
- You don't even know her.

- I can be supportive.
- Come on,

I promise it won't be awful.

Worst case scenario,
you spend five awkward minutes

and move on.
- Okay, okay.

(laughing)

Okay.
- No...

- My producer sent answers
for me to memorize,

so I put them on notecards
to practice.

We should go through
them tonight.

- You can memorize all you want,

but remember you need
to show up as yourself.

- Okay, but one practice round
can't hurt!

- Yeah, but it won't end
with one round though, right?

- Okay, well,

if we're not going through
my cards, can I have them back?

- Hmm!

If you really want them back,

you gotta get them yourself.

Oh, oh!

(laughing)

(bell dinging)
Oh! Saved by the bell.

Alright! Let's network! Whoo!

(chuckling)

(indistinct chattering)

- I'm Hazel, and I created
my company Dreamseeker

when I was in law school.

- So Hazel helped me get my act
together and created

a whole five-year plan for me.

Has she gotten you onto it yet?

- Not yet. So you and Hazel
met in college?

- Oh no, way back.
Diaper times.

- And you've managed
to stay close.

- Once you're in Hazel's orbit,

you don't want
to fall out of it.

- I think I know what you mean.

- So once you determine
whether or not you want

a weekly or daily planner,
you get to decide which day

of the week you start on.

You can choose between
Sunday or Monday.

Both have their benefits,
but personally, I...

(bell dinging)

Oh, I'm so sorry,
we didn't get to you.

- Oh, hello,

Hazel, is it?

- Yes, it's so lovely
to meet you.

(chuckling)
- How's it going?

- Well, five minutes goes by
a lot quicker than I expected.

- You didn't let them
get a word in, did you?

- Mm-mm.

How do you do this?

- I like to focus on them
as much as possible.

People like talking
about themselves.

- So I should try talking
as little as possible?

- Not exactly.

I enjoy learning about people
and asking questions.

- But how do you
make things even?

- That's what you're going
to practice.

You love your company,

but you need to make
your point faster.

- And the faster I am,
the quicker I can ask them

about their company.

- Exactly!

- I'm so gonna win
this networking thing.

- It's not a competition.
- To you, maybe.

(chuckling)

- Why don't you start with
the answers you've got here?

- The turnout's
pretty impressive.

- Yeah, it's brought in
a decent amount of people.

- Yeah. I've always
wondered though,

from a business standpoint,
how profitable

hosting events like this is

in comparison
to the cost to run it.

- That is a very insightful
thought process.

(laughing)
- Well, you have experience

with events.
How does it work for you?

- I think you're ready.

- Are you sure?

(bell dinging)

- Guess you'll find out.

- Thank you so much.

Okay...

- Wow, that last guy was a lot.
(chuckling)

This is so awkward, right?

- Yeah, it is.

It is so nice to see you.

- You as well. I didn't
realize you ran a business.

What do you do?

- I own a boutique planner
company that specializes

in helping people create
actionable plans

to achieve their dreams.

But enough about me,

please tell me about
your taffy business.

- I took over my shop
about six years ago,

but I'm so ready
to expand the business.

- Wow, that's amazing!

Tell me, what do you
have in mind?

- I'm opening up a new location
later this year,

but I'm also considering
getting into online sales.

I'm not really sure.
Do you have any ideas?

- Okay! I'll admit it.

That went way better
than I thought it would.

- See? You can trust me.

- Did you meet
anyone interesting?

- I think so.
- Wonderful!

I met so many cool people.
In fact, I was thinking,

we should team up
with a local business owner

for our next subscription box.

- That sounds so great!
- Right?!

I'm gonna get another drink,
does anyone want one?

- No, thank you,
I'm heading out.

- I can walk you to the bus.
- I'd like that.

(chuckling)

- I'll take another.
Meet back at the table?

- Sure.
- Alright.

(indistinct chattering)

- Thank you.

(soft music)

(sighs)

(ringing tone)

(phone ringing)

Hey, Nora.
- Hazel.

I'm so sorry, but they won't
be able to fix it on time.

- It's... no worries.

- I know that's code
for all worries.

- No, it's fine. I'll just...

I really have to shine on
The Morning Brew in a few days.

- And you will. I mean,

you got those notecards
back from Theo, right?

- Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'll go
review them right now.

Okay, bye!

- Bye!

- I signed the agreement today

and it's all happening
a lot faster than I thought.

- How much faster?

- They want me out there

by the end of the month.

So I don't want to pressure you
to make a decision...

- But you need to know.

I've thought about it
a lot, and...

I can't leave until
my family can run

the restaurant without me.

They're not there yet.

- They're not there yet
or you're not there yet?

It's okay if you're not ready.

I just, I want you to be honest
with me about it.

- Then I guess the truth
is that...

...going to LA for a year
doesn't feel like

the next right move for me.

- I understand.

- I hope you'll still
come to trivia.

- Of course. I've gotta maintain
my title before I leave.

(chuckling)

- Yes, you do.

Is that spare glass for me?

- Mm-hmm.

- I thought we were meeting
back at the table.

- I didn't want to interrupt
you and Mallory.

- Hmm.

(vehicles passing)

You're quieter than normal.
You okay?

- Mm-hmm. I just got
some not so great news.

- You wanna talk about it?

- Not right now, thanks.

- I think I know
the remedy you need.

Pasta.

(laughing)

- How is pasta going to--

- Don't argue, just trust me.

(crickets chirping)

- Let me guess, some little old

Italian lady taught you how
to make pasta from scratch.

- Nonna Sofia is more than
a little old Italian lady.

She's a legend.
- I knew it.

- Mm-hmm.
Have you been to Italy?

- No. I've always wanted to.

- Is it in your five-year plan?

- I've been so focused
on Dreamseeker that travel

hasn't really come up. No.

- Perhaps you should.
Italy would be good for you.

Slow down. Ditch the planner
for a few days.

- Hey, I like my planner!
- I know you do,

but you deserve to take a break.

- Well, "deserve"
and "have time for"

are two very different things.

- If you say so.

You "knead" to get out
your frustration from earlier.

- Me?

Okay.

Like that?
- Mm-hmm.

- Hmm, okay.

That does help a little.

- So, what was the bad news
you got anyway?

(sighs)
- I came up with a new design,

and we tried to rush a sample
for the interview,

but then the printer screwed up,

and we don't have
time to fix it.

- Hmm.

I recall someone calling me
Mr. Mayor yesterday.

Want me to help?

- You could do that?

- I'd be happy to.

- It's just, I don't want
this dough to get dry.

So, maybe you'll text Nora
from my phone,

let her know what's going on?

My code is 0822.

(phone clicking)

(phone chiming)

- Well, that was fast.

Nora already sent the files.

- Of course she did.

- Let's see what I can do.

(phone chiming)

Okay, all set.

You should have
a new proof tomorrow.

- Get out. Thank you.

- Don't worry about it.
- Seriously,

you're saving my company.

- The only thing I'm saving
is my appetite for this pasta.

- Mmm, mmm!

Okay, I admit that was amazing.

But I feel like I'm breaking
the rules

eating here after hours.

- You've got a lot of rules.

Is there a handbook
or a cheat sheet

to help you remember them all?

- You don't need a cheat sheet
for common sense.

(chuckling)

- Well, we've had a lot
of family dinners in here.

Big rule breakers,
the McCarthys.

- Really? Why does that
not surprise me?

- Well, my dad was always here
and I guess so were we.

I got used to it.

- Is that where you honed
your skills cheating at darts?

(laughing)
- I never cheated.

I misled.
How's that for specificity?

- Well, now that I'm full,
I think you owe me a rematch.

- Oh, okay!
(laughing)

Okay, but this time,
we're not playing for points.

- Well, then what
are we playing for?

- Fun. Have you heard of it?

- You know, I think I put it
on a checklist once.

(chuckling)

(soft music)

You make fun,
but my checklists helped me

keep track of things
when my mom got sick.

My aunt was busy keeping
the law firm afloat,

so most of the care came to me.

- That must have been
really tough.

- In a way it was,
but I created a planner.

- Which became the GoalGetter.

- Essentially.

Yeah, I loved the sense
of purpose my planner gave me,

and so Dreamseeker was born.

Whoo!

- I'm glad it gives you
a sense of purpose.

- This place doesn't?

- I appreciate the time
with my family,

but I feel like I'm living
somebody else's life.

- Well, this was
your dad's dream,

but it doesn't have to be yours.

- I just see how happy
it makes my mom and brother,

and I just wish I felt the same.

- Hmm. Maybe it's time
you figure out

what makes you happy.

You seemed pretty passionate
about the show.

- It's funny
you should say that.

My producer called earlier.

The studio wants
to bring it back.

- Wow. That's an incredible
opportunity.

- It is, but I think I need
to turn it down.

I mean, they're not ready
to handle this place

on their own. You've seen my mom
in the accounting software.

- Your mom's getting
a lot better.

- I guess she just needed
the right teacher.

(bright music)

- Wow. I have no idea how Theo
pulled this off.

This is exactly
how I pictured it.

- You did a great job, Hazel.

So did Theo. I'm now convinced
he's a magician.

(chuckles)
- I wouldn't be surprised

if he could do magic
at this point.

(laughing)

(sighs)

- Well, something happened
to make that look happen.

- I don't know.

Okay, last night, there was
a moment where I thought

he was going to kiss me,
but he was talking to Mallory

after you left and I'm not
getting in the middle

of a relationship,
so that's a dead end.

- Yeah.
- But you and Patrick?

- He was horribly chivalrous.
Not even a kiss good night.

- Really? That's surprising.
I thought I saw sparks flying.

- As did I, but...
(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hello, Hazel! I'm here
with Amelia,

and I've got some great news.

- Hi, Amelia!
- Hi, Margo!

- We're adding more time
to your segment tomorrow.

- How much more time?

- Double!

- That's a lot of time.

- Dreamseeker was such
a life changer for me,

I really want to let you shine.

Is there anything you
could fill time with?

- We've got an incredible
new product

Hazel could talk about.
It's called the Joyful Journal.

- Oh, tell me more.

- Well, it's a place
to keep track of

and inspire people

to spread joy.
- That sounds wonderful!

I can't wait to hear
more about it.

- Well, since Margo approves,
I'll get you to lead

a product demonstration

live on the air tomorrow.

- Great! So looking
forward to it.

Bye!
(phone beeps)

- You can do this.

(sighs)

- Uh, Theo...

Honey, I've noticed you just
haven't been yourself lately.

- Hey, where's that lobster
I asked you to order?

- Didn't we just get
an order the other day?

- Theo, we've got lobster fries
on special this week

and we ran out.
I left a note on your desk.

- No, you didn't.
- You wanna bet?

See? It's right there.

- Are you kidding me?

See, this is exactly why
I don't want you guys

using all this paper.
How was I supposed to see that?

- It's your office.

- And it's your lobster.

Why didn't you tell me in person

or send me a text
or something?

- I'm sorry, but we need
this lobster

before the trivia rush starts.

- You can't always expect me
to save the day.

(sighs)

- I said I was sorry.

- Alright, let me see
what I can do.

(ringing tone)

Hey, Jeremy, buddy!
How're Hunter and Grayson doing?

Ha! That's great.
Listen, I need a favor.

(birds chirping)

(soft music)

- Hazel!
- Oh, hi!

I was actually just
on my way to find Theo.

- Oh. He and Patrick are dealing
with a restaurant emergency.

- Oh...
- Everything okay?

- Not really,
but I'll catch him later.

Are you using the GoalGetter?

- I am, but I can't seem to get
past the goal setting section.

- What seems to be the issue?

- I had all these dreams
with William.

Pass the place off to the boys
and travel the world.

I lost those when I lost him.

- Oh.

You're still here.

- I'm just not sure
if I remember

how to dream without him.

- It's never too late
to try new adventures,

even if they don't look exactly
like you've pictured them.

- Oh, I don't know.

- The way I see it,
you were drawn

to the GoalGetter planner
for a reason.

There's some part of you
that still wants to dream,

to try something new.

It doesn't matter if you don't
know what it looks like yet.

- I can see why
Theo believes in you.

- Oh.

(mumbling)

- Coffee for your thoughts?
(gasps)

- You've got to stop
surprising me like that.

- Coffee to make up
for it then?

- Yes, thank you. I didn't
expect to see you today.

- A little birdie mentioned
you were looking for me.

Thought I'd investigate.
What's up?

- They doubled my time slot
for tomorrow.

- That's pretty significant.
- Mm-hmm.

- How are you feeling about it?

- Earlier, not so great.

- But better now?

(sighs)
- I think.

- Hey, come to trivia today.

- Trivia? I don't know, Theo,
I'm not really in the mood.

- Come on, have I led you
astray yet?

First time doesn't count!

(laughing)
- I guess trivia would stop me

from obsessing over my notes.

- I'll take that as a yes.
See you and Nora later.

(indistinct chattering)

Hello, ladies.

- Hello, Theodore.

- Wait, what's going on?

- I've lured you here
under false pretenses.

- There's no trivia?
- Oh, there's trivia.

But I'm in need
of a cohost today.

(laughing)

- No, no.
(laughs)

- Yes. Hazel Thompson,
would you please do me

the honor of being my cohost
this afternoon?

- I haven't planned for this.

- Don't worry, I'll make sure
it's super easy for you.

- Think of it as your last
round of practice.

- You were definitely
involved in this.

- Mm! I came here
for a good time

and now, I will from over there.

(indistinct chattering)

(scoffing)
- I've been betrayed!

(laughing)
- I promise it's not that bad.

This is a tame crowd.
What do you say?

- Well, my partner's
abandoned me, so...

Alright, I guess I have
no choice.

- That's the spirit!

(bright music)

- Oh.
- You're gonna be great.

- Yes. I hope so.

- Okay, trivia people!

Before we get rolling
with this afternoon session,

I'd like you all to welcome
my very special cohost, Hazel!

(cheering)

- Hi, everyone.
- Whoa!

Listen to that powerhouse.

Hazel here caught me
on a technicality last week,

so you all better
bring your A-game!

- Yes, she did!
- Go Hazel!

(chuckling nervously)

- And remember,
it's not about winning...

- It's about having fun.

- Alright, round one!
Let's get started.

- Oh. Um...

(clearing throat)

At what age does someone
celebrate their Bat Mitzvah?

Mallory.

- Thirteen.
- Um...

- Nice one! First point goes
to team Don't You Know It!

- Yes!
(clapping)

- Hey, Hazel.
- Yes?

- When do lambs become sheep?

- I can't say I know.

- When they have
their "baaa"-mitzvah!

(laughing)

- Are you "shear" about that?

- I've never been more "shear"
about anything in my life.

(crowd laughing)

(applause)

Next question!

Which state's official dessert
is the peach pie?

- Oh, I know that one.
- Patrick!

- Georgia.

(mimics buzzer)

- I'm sorry, that is incorrect.

Any other takers?

Anyone?

- Well, it is an easy
enough mistake, Theo.

Georgia is the Peach State,
after all.

Although, you know, I had
the best peach pie of my life

in a small diner on I-95
in Delaware,

which happens to be
the right answer.

(crowd): Aw...

- Next question.

Uh... Switzerland is split
into 26 regions called what?

Mallory.
- Cantons.

- And the answer is...

- Oh. My attention hitched
a ride on a different track.

What did I miss?

- Our host is sleeping
on the J-O-B!

- It's a tough job.

- Especially when the answers
are on the card in your hand.

(crowd laughing)
- Oh! Yes. What was the guess?

- Cantons.

- You're absolutely correct!

(applause, cheering)

(laughing)

- I can't believe you got me
to cohost trivia with you.

- And you did such
an incredible job.

- Yeah, I saved your butt.
- That you did.

- I'm just happy I didn't have
to play against Mallory.

Your girlfriend
is a know-it-all.

- Mallory? Yeah, we...
we split up.

- Oh. I'm so sorry.

- It's okay. We weren't
really on the same path.

- Well, what path are you on?

- I'm still trying
to figure that out.

You know, you're going
to impress the pants off

everyone at The Morning Brew.

You impressed me.

- I just read questions
that you wrote.

- Hazel, you did
so much more than that.

You gave my brother a hard time.

(laughing)
- That's impressive?

- Oh, yeah. I mean, he's an easy
target for me, but you let go.

You were yourself
in front of others.

- Huh, I really was.

Yeah, but tomorrow's different.
- True.

You'll be answering questions
instead of asking them.

- I'll be in the hot seat.

- Well, let's make sure
you're ready.

Hop up there.

- Uh, no. I can't do that.
- Sure you can!

Hazel Thompson, Dreamseeker's
almost fearless leader.

(laughing)

Testing, testing.

- What are you doing?
- Quick fire,

round one. Hazel.
What is your middle name?

- Esther.

It's a family name, okay?
Next question!

- What is the best
ice cream topping?

- Ooh, hot fudge, obviously.

- Wrong! It's definitely
maraschino cherries.

- Do you know how a speed round
is supposed to work?

- Hey, I thought I was the one
asking the questions here.

- Then ask them!

- Okay, final question.
Who is the best trivia host

you've ever cohosted
a game with?

- Ooh, I think his name
was Theloni...

Theo!
- Ding, ding, ding!

See? You did great.

- Oh, I couldn't have done it
without the magical help

of my fearless media coach.

(laughing)

(soft music)

- Thank you for
approaching me.

I enjoyed that way more
than I expected.

- Me too.

- You know, the restaurant
is great, but... it's stifling.

I just wish there was a way
to go back to TV

and still help out
at the restaurant.

- Hmm. Well, maybe media
coaching is the answer.

I'd be happy to give you
a glowing testimonial.

- Yeah, I don't know.

My family needs me too much.

- Perhaps you should give
them more credit.

People step up
when they're needed,

like you did when
your dad passed.

- Or like you did with your mom.

- Exactly.
(sighs)

You're allowed to be happy,
Theo.

You deserve to pursue something
that makes you smile.

(geese squawking)

(laughing)

(crickets chirping)

I'm sorry for the mess.

It'll be easier if we get
the storefront,

I won't have to keep
so much here anymore.

- Honey...
- I actually

wanted to show you something.

We're launching a new product
on the show tomorrow.

It's called a Joyful Journal,
and you fill it out

when you do something to make
someone else feel happy.

- So it's just some prompts
about doing nice things?

- Oh, I wouldn't say
it's just that.

No. It's a chance to reflect

and feel good about
spreading joy.

Like these.

- And you're staking the future

of your business on this?

This is your big solution
to meet your sales goals.

I'm sorry, honey,
I'm pulling funding.

- But you said if...

- If you weren't my niece,

I would have pulled funding
a long time ago.

- I...
- My mind's made up.

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

- Hey! Come on in.

This is unexpected!

- Well, I'm full
of surprises these days.

- I assumed you'd be
at the TV studio by now.

- Yes, I can't stay long.

- How are you feeling?

- Um, well, I know
I'm not supposed to,

but I'm feeling pretty nervous.

There's a lot riding
on this interview.

- Well, you've
progressed tremendously.

I have full faith that you're
gonna knock it out of the park.

- Thanks.

- And you're not eating
any spicy food on air,

so the odds of becoming a meme
are significantly lower.

(laughing)

- Whew, I didn't realize
how badly I needed that.

I came here for a reason.
- Okay...

- I brought you... a gift.

(chuckles)
- This is so sweet.

But I'm sorry, I don't...
I don't have anything for you.

- You gave me something
so much better than a gift.

Open it!

- These are...

- Business cards, for your
media coaching business!

- I'm not sure what to say.
- Oh, and that's just the start.

I know I didn't finish
my law degree,

but I know my way
around business paperwork.

- Hazel...
- So I drew these up.

You are going to do so much good

when we can sit down
and create your five-year plan!

- I...

This is too much.

- I know it's a lot,
but so many small businesses

get penalized for not having
their paperwork in order.

And I want to get you started
on the right foot.

- You don't get it.
I've already got

a successful business to run.

I can't follow some
flight of fancy daydream

opening some niche business.

- Dreams don't just happen,
Theo.

They take work, planning,
and a little bit of risk.

I wanted to help you with that.

I thought that's what
you wanted.

- I didn't ask you
to do any of this.

- You didn't have to ask.

- I don't need
your five-year plans

or your color-coded checklists
to enjoy my life.

- Planning doesn't mean
you can't have fun.

- I don't need your help.
I'm just fine on my own.

- No one does anything
on their own, Theo.

Not really.

You saved this restaurant
with your family.

I created Dreamseeker with Nora.

- I've got plenty of people
to help me with

what I've actually got
going on with my life.

- You have a town full
of acquaintances.

I know you know everything
about their lives,

but how many of them have
actually met the real Theo?

- I've got my mom
and my brother,

who else do I need?

- Do you?

You just told me yesterday

that this restaurant
was stifling you.

You don't have to go
back into TV.

But don't you think
you deserve more?

- If you're so unhappy here,

then why am I hearing it
from her and not you?

- I...

- I thought we were
in this together.

As business partners.
As brothers.

- We are in it together.
- Are you?

- Enough!

All your checklists
and five-year plans

aren't going to fix the mess
you've just made.

(phone chiming)

- I, um... I can fix this
later, but I have to go now.

- It isn't something
for you to fix!

You've done enough damage.

- Why didn't you tell me
that you're not happy here?

- Sometimes, I just feel like
all I do is clean up messes

and fight to bring this place
in the 21st century.

- Well, I'm sorry for being
such a burden.

Feel free to go back

to your TV show
and abandon us again.

We don't need you.

- Patrick...

- What's going on?

- Just more fires
for me to put out.

- Did you know that I bought
this place for your dad?

- No. How have I never
heard about this?

- Your father was good
at many things,

but admitting when he was wrong
wasn't one of them.

- Sounds about right.

- He's not the only one.

Oh, he sat on the dream
for years.

He kept planning,
but wouldn't act.

- So you did it for him.

- We fought about it for months.

He didn't think
that the time was right.

You were barely a year old,

but I knew he wouldn't do it
unless I forced his hand.

- And he rose to the challenge.

- He did.

Sometimes, you need a push
from the people who love you

to go out and achieve
your dreams.

- He was lucky to have you.

- I like the business cards
that Hazel designed for you.

You'd do well as a media coach.

- I don't know.

- I was inspired by talking
to Hazel the other day.

She reminded me of how important
it is to go after what you want.

I even used one of her planners
to set some new goals.

- That's great.

- I'm going to take
some business courses.

Working with her helped me
to realize

that I can learn
new computer skills.

Just maybe not from you.
(laughing)

I've got this.

- Yeah.

But what if I don't?

- What do you mean?

- What if media coaching isn't
the next right step for me?

What if I'm not ready?

- Were you ready when
you started your show?

- Well... no.

But I don't want to miss
anything with you guys.

- Oh, honey. We're gonna be here
for you no matter what.

Now, you know
what you need to do?

- Where were you? I was scared
you were gonna miss the segment!

- I made a stop along the way.
It did not go as planned.

- Does this have anything
to do with why you look

like you've been crying?

- Theo and I almost
kissed last night.

- So naturally you'd be upset...

- Yeah, it's not that I, um...

I went to the restaurant
this morning.

He seemed like he was ready
to branch out,

so I got him business cards

and I drew up some
paperwork for him.

- So I'm guessing
that didn't go well.

- My first TV interview
went better.

- How did he react?

- He was angry. We argued.

He accused me of overstepping.
He said he didn't need my help.

- Oh, honey.

- But I know this is
what he wants,

he's just too afraid
to go after it.

He needed that push.

- Yeah?
- Yes.

- I mean, how did you feel
every time your aunt

dropped hints about
going back to law school?

- Alright.
(laughs)

I get it.

But at least she came around.

"Knock their socks off."

That's cute.

- So were the cupcakes.
(laughing)

- Do you think I'm wrong
about Theo?

Maybe I did overstep.

- Maybe, but your heart
was in the right place.

- Thanks, Nora.

- We're ready for you!

- Go get 'em! You got this.

Yes!

(phone chiming)

(sighs)

- Patrick, please let me
explain.

Look...

I'm sorry for how
I handled all of this.

Okay, I don't think
you're a burden.

- You've got a funny way
of showing it.

- You're right.

Look, when Dad passed away, I...

I felt like I needed to take
on all the responsibility.

- You don't need to take
care of everything.

Especially if it doesn't
make you happy.

- I'm sorry I didn't
tell you sooner.

- Is this why you've been
pushing all the big changes?

- Yeah, I think so.

I just want you guys to be okay.

- So you can go back
to your TV show?

Is that why Carrie called?
They want you back?

- Yeah, it's why she called.

- You should have told me.

We could have figured
something out.

- You're right. I'm sorry.

- So? Are you going back
to your TV show then?

- No.

I thought it's what I wanted,

but... I like being around.

I don't want to miss things.

- Well, since you're not
skipping town,

I think you owe Hazel
an apology.

And I've got the perfect way
you can make it up to her.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

(bright music)

- I'm so glad you decided
to come back.

- Honestly, I'm surprised
you wanted me back.

- You've helped me more
than you can know,

so I wanted to return the favor.
You've got this.

(chuckles)

(soft music)

- Welcome back
to The Morning Brew!

This week is all about
second chances.

Hazel Thompson back with us
to talk about

her planner company,
Dreamseeker Paper Co.

which viewers might not know

helped me write my memoir
coming out next month.

- Whoo!

- Welcome back, Hazel!

- Thank you so much
for having me back!

- I've been a long-time fan
of your GoalGetter Planner,

but I hear you've got
something new up your sleeve.

Can you tell us more about it?

- Absolutely, I would love to.

At Dreamseeker, our goal is to
help you achieve your dreams,

and we're more excited than ever

to present our new quarterly
subscription box.

- That sounds dreamy!

(laughing)

- Dreamy is...

exactly the way
I'd describe it.

I love that...

love that you're one
of our collectors.

- Yes. I may have a few journals
in circulation right now.

(laughing)
- I do too.

Some people poke fun at me,
but I believe

each journal has
its own purpose.

(Margo): That's what
I tell people!

(laughing)

- Well, since you're one
of our collectors,

I'm happy to report
that each box includes

exclusive designs you can only
get with a subscription.

(Margo): Where do I sign up?

- Oh, hey.

- Oh, this is cool.
- And our latest and greatest...

...is the Joyful Journal.

It includes daily prompts

to help you reflect
on how you spread joy.

And in the back, there's small
ways to make someone else smile.

- Would it be a good gift?

Some people might say
it's overstepping.

(chuckles)

- Well, unfortunately, Margo,

despite our best efforts,
sometimes we do overstep

when we want to support
someone we care about.

But what's more loving
than letting them know

that you believe in them...

...and you believe in
their dreams?

Plus, who doesn't love
a great journal?

- Now, that's a fair point.

And with that, thank you
for being here today.

- Of course, thank you.

- We'll be right back
after these messages.

- Whew!

- You did such a great job!

- Thank you so much
for having me back.

- I've worked with tons
of people over the years.

I've never seen such
a major difference

in such a short amount of time.
- Thank you.

- Did you work with
one of our coaches?

- No, actually, I worked
with someone new.

- Can I get their number?

- I think I can do better
than that.

Amelia, I'd like to introduce
you to my media coach.

This is Theo McCarthy.
- Pleasure to meet you.

- You and I need to talk.

- But I, uh...

(excited squealing)

- Oh, you were a triumph!

- It felt totally different.
- I'm so proud of you.

(phone ringing)

(clearing throat)

- Hello?

(Sheila): Oh, wonderful job,
Hazel.

- Thank you.

- How are the numbers looking?

- We actually hit
this quarter's numbers!

And if the sales keep going that
way, we will easily double it!

- Orders haven't stopped
since the segment started!

- That's so wonderful to hear.

I'm sorry I didn't get it
before, but I'll release

the next funding and help

ensure you can get
that storefront.

- Thank you, Sheila.
Thank you so much,

We wouldn't have be able
to do it without you.

- Remember a few days ago,
you asked me about

what your mother's
favorite dessert was?

- One moment.
(phone beeps)

Hi.

- It was pecan pie.

- Really? She never
told me that.

- Ah, I remember

one Christmas, she decided
she didn't want

to share it with anybody,
so she snuck down

into the kitchen and she ate

the whole thing.
- No way!

(laughing)

- The next morning,
she was so sick!

I don't think she ever
touched it again.

- She never told me that.

- No, I'm sure she didn't.
she was so embarrassed.

- Thank you for telling
me that, Sheila.

I look forward to
so many more stories.

- I do too.

- These numbers are jumping
higher by the second!

- This is wild.
I need to go back to HQ

to make sure we can even
fulfill these orders!

- You want some help?
- I'd love that.

Um, are you good to...

- Go! Yes! Go!

(chuckling)

(sighs)

- Hazel. I just wanted to say
that I really--

- Shh!

(chuckling)

(whispered): Let's go
help backorders.

(upbeat music)

- I win for the most
subscription boxes packed today.

- No way! I did at least 60!

- I did 75.

- Whoa! Look at you,
Miss Overachiever.

(laughing)

- Thank you. And thank you

for coming to help
pack them today.

- You can thank me after
all my papercuts heal.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Oh, let me see!

You don't have any papercuts.

- Oh, no. Guess I don't.

(chuckling)

- I really appreciate you
coming today.

- I wanted to support you.

- I couldn't have done it
without you.

- But you did.

- Mm! I...

- Oh.

- I had you with me
the whole time.

(laughing)

Theo, I'm really sorry
for overstepping.

And for accidentally
telling Patrick.

- It's okay. I'm actually
grateful for the push.

- Really?

- You were right.

I don't let people see
the real me.

But you were also wrong.

I let you in.

- I only pushed so hard

because I believe
in you so much.

- I get that now.

I turned down the show.

- What?!
- Yeah.

- But you've been trying
to get back to it!

- Why would I leave when
everything I want is here?

- Does this mean you want
to make a five-year plan?

- Maybe. Maybe longer.

(soft music)
