(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

(birds chirping)

(barking)

(birds chirping)

(♪)

(gasps, laughing)

- Look at you.
You look amazing!

- Oh! Thanks to you.
For the very best me.

(laughing)
- Remember, the best you

has always been...

(both): Within!

- And you just bring it out.

- Aw!
(chuckling)

Well, being your best

is all about putting the work
into your insides,

so that you can let that shine
on your outsides!

- Ugh. Now, I just have
to rock this interview.

- You remember your tools.

Any time you have
a single doubt,

you remember what
you're capable of.

Yeah? And you will rock
this interview.

I know it, because you've put
in the work.

- Ah! We've put in the work.

- You're doing great,
I'm so proud of you.

- I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm gonna miss you too.

(laughing)
But remember, I'm your friend!

You can call me any time.

- Thank you so much.

- Now, go out there and shine.

(chuckles)

(both): Bye!

- And another one complete.

- Well, not quite.

- Well, you're gonna need
a double shot of espresso

when I show you today's
schedule.

So, at noon, we've got
that follow-up meeting

with that tech wiz kid.

You know, the one who needs
to seem more approachable,

not infinitely smarter
than everybody else.

- Yes!
- Oh! And tomorrow,

you've got your first
of hopefully many

segments at Wake-Up World.

(gasps)
You're gonna be great!

- Well, I don't know,
I haven't been on TV in forever!

Gosh, to get a regular segment
on Wake-Up,

that would just skyrocket
our business to the next level!

I gotta crush this.

Knowing you,
consider it crushed.

(laughing)
Now, let's get you that coffee.

- Bless.

(rhythmic music)

- Okay. Yeah, thank you.

- That was Wake-Up World.

Your prep meeting today
got cancelled.

Apparently, Clive Baxter,

the sexy soccer player
turned TV host,

likes to just leave it
all out on the field.

- Well, I guess when you're
an international sports star,

you can afford to ruffle
a few feathers.

Not to mention his excessive
use of sports analogies.

- I don't know, I kind of like
this whole feisty thing

that he's got going on.

No, I think it is a much-needed

new flair for Wake-Up.
- From what I've heard,

he's not exactly a home run.

- Yeah, wrong sport,
but I see you.

Hang on.

(keyboard clicking)

So, maybe when you're staring
into those baby blues,

you will change your tune.

- Oh, pump the brakes.
(laughing)

(phone rings)

Hey, Ali, how are you?

No way! Congratulations.

She got the job!

Yes, we will celebrate.

We'll set it up. Okay. Bye.

Wow. Well,

hey, another job complete.

- Nice!

(upbeat music)

(sighs)
- I'm just hoping

these moving boxes were a decoy

and that you changed your mind.

- I know.

I can't believe I'm moving
out of here before you are.

Hey, hun, help me with this?

- Aw! Look at you two!

- Hey, you want
to meet up for dinner

after we drop these
at the new place?

- Oh, no, I think I've been
your permanent third wheel

for far too long.

- No, don't be silly.

Felix was gonna ask Todd
from the office to come too.

- Oh. Is that how
it works now, huh?

You two are teaming up now
to set me up?

- No, just trying to return
the favour

of you and YVB helping me

become a guy with
this kind of gal on his arm.

- Aw!
- No, it's okay.

Actually, I've got early
dinner plans with my mom.

Apparently, she's got
a new pitch to discuss.

- Well, let's hope it goes
better than the last.

(car engine starts)

- Well, I do appreciate
that you got

all of the important
stuff out of the way,

but obviously it's killing you
inside, I can tell,

so what's your new pitch?

- Hey, I can be patient
and I can read people too.

- I am your daughter,
you don't need to read me.

- My office identified
your company as a top target.

I didn't even play up

the mother and daughter
dream scenario.

So, it's all legit
based on your success.

I'm really just
the messenger here.

- Mom, we went over this before.

- The Angel investment
is an offer that any business

in your position would die for.

And with you being back on TV,
now is the time to strike.

- I'm not back on TV, Mom.
I'm doing a single segment.

And as I clearly stated before,
and I will say it again,

I need to do this on my own.

- Yes, we take
majority ownership,

but you still call the shots.

- How is that maj--
- Aren't you Bratty Becky

from "Little Sister"?

- Uh, yeah. I mean...

I mean, actually,
I started off as Brave Becky

and then, during season 4,

we had these new
producers come in

and they completely
flipped the storyline.

That's when I became...

Uh, anyway, never mind.
Yes, yes, I am...

I'm Bratty Becky!
(laughing)

- Oh, uh, what did Brave Becky
used to say?

- Do you remember, Mom?
- Yes.

- Brave Becky used to say,

"When things are going down,
be brave..."

(all): And turn them around!

(laughing)
- You were so amazing!

Can I grab a pic?

- Yeah, of course!
- Sure.

- Ready?
- Yeah!

- Okay. Cheese!

- Cheese.
(shutter clicks)

Oh, that's nice.

- Thank you.
- Nice to meet you.

- Thank you, thank you!

- As I was about to say,
our first plan of attack

would be to focus
on your celebrity past.

Child sitcom star
to successful entrepreneur.

- Mom, I'm trying
to focus on bringing

what I have to the table
as Rebecca.

Not as Bratty Becky.

- And look at you,
you were so cute,

positive, uplifting.

- It's not the approach
that I don't like, it's...

The lines between Mom
and manager were blurred.

And I just don't want
to go back there again.

- But this is different.
- How?

Mom...

I appreciate
that you're trying to help me,

but this is really important
for me to do this on my own.

I need that.

Please.

- So, you're really
not seeing anyone?

I mean, there must be someone.

- Mom.

- Sorry.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, uh...

- Excuse me, Mr. Baxter,
I hate to bother you...

- You must not hate it
that much.

I'm kidding! Kind of,
what's up?

- Uh, my son is a huge fan
and it's his birthday Saturday.

I was hoping maybe you could
sign his jersey?

- Oh, I would love to...

But it's not up to me.

Yeah, my manager handles
all my memorabilia requests.

- Oh, it's just for
a seven-year-old kid.

- Sorry, pal.

How much wood could
a woodchuck chuck...

- Uh, excuse me!

- A-E-I-O-U.

- Excuse me!
- Unique, New York.

Excuse me! Hi!

Excuse me, hi, Clive.

- Huh?
- Clive Baxter.

- Yeah?
- Hi!

I hear that preparation
is not really your thing,

but I think preparation
is the key to success.

- I don't.

- Okay, yeah!

Well, if you want
to go over anything

with our segment, I'm here
to flesh out any questions.

I'm here to help.

- Yeah, we're just gonna let it
fly when the camera's on.

Just like, boom, boom, boom.
You know?

That's how I roll. Alright?

I can't believe
it's really you, though!

Bratty Becky!

All grown up.

- Yeah. I ditched the braces
and got rid of my pigtails.

- Yeah.
- So, I'm Rebecca now.

- Rebecca.
- Rebecca Cole.

- Mm-hmm. Is it okay
if I call you Becky?

- Uh, no.
It's not 1999 anymore,

so let's just go with Rebecca.

- I'll see you out there, Becky.

- Oh, yeah...

Just... Whoa, one more thing,
slick!

That was a really classy move
that you made there

with the kid's jersey.

- Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

That's... that's kind of
adorable, actually.

You really think that jersey
was for his kid?

No, no, that guy was gonna go
sell the jersey on the internet

for a quick 500 bucks.
Oldest trick in the book.

- Is it not tiring to go through
life making assumptions

about people in the worst way?

- It's called assumptions
based on previous

circumstances and facts.

- I'm so sorry
that this is the story

you've created for yourself.

See, I choose to see
the best in others.

- Which I think will get you
absolutely nowhere.

You've spent far too much
time in the TV world

and not enough time
in the real world, sweetie.

(laughs)

- Maybe you have just

been kicked in the head
too many times!

- Ooh!

Okay, you know what?
- What?

- Forget Bratty Becky.
I'm gonna go with Rude Rebecca.

- I'm sorry.
I'll see you on set.

- Like I suggested
in the first place.

Later.

(crowd cheering)

- We are very excited today,

because we have popular
image consultant

and all-around talented gal,
Rebecca Cole.

(applause)

(laughing)
- Hi! Hi, how are you?

- Good. A few weeks ago,

we gave her a guest
from our audience

to work her magic on.

Now, he is back with us today.

(applause)

Roy! You look like a new man.

- I feel like a brand new
version of myself.

Or the very best version
of myself.

(applause)
- Roy wanted to go

from being the nice guy

to being the guy
that his female friends

would be more interested in.

(crowd): Aw!
- Buddy...

I could've told you how to do
that in a couple of minutes.

- Well, we wouldn't want
to put him through that,

now would we?
(crowd): Ooh!

Roy's primary attainable goal
was to set his sights

on a particular female.

And by integrating
his newly discovered self

with his best version,
he wanted to ask her out.

- So... Roy, who is she?

A crush, a coworker?

(laughs)
- Kind of.

(crowd): Woo!

(clears throat)

- Rebecca, through this process,

I've become someone
I never thought possible.

Would you go on a date with me?

(applause)

- Uh...

What about Julie from the gym?

- I'm just being true to myself.

- Uh... I'm sure that
anyone from the audience

would want to go
on a date with you.

(applause)
- But do you have a boyfriend?

- No, I don't.

I think that the best version
of myself currently

is to remain single.

I'm so sorry, Roy.

- You spend weeks building
this poor guy up

only to chop him down
in one fell swoop?

I mean, come on.

- Well, Roy's clarity,
albeit surprising,

is actually something
we can build on.

(applause)

- Roy, there must be
someone else?

- Uh, I think he's being
pretty clear.

I think you should ask her
one more time.

- I think it's pretty clear
that you assume things

and think you know everything.

- Alright, well you know,
I would rather go after

what I want than to...
be a chump.

(crowd): Oh!
(laughs nervously)

(crowd booing)

- Looks like our audience
disagrees.

My charming but oh so
opinionated cohost.

- Okay, you know what?

You gotta practise what
you preach, isn't that right?

That's what this is all about,
so...

You all have a great morning.

I'm gonna go for a jog.

(chuckles)

- Looks like
we'll be right back.

(applause)

Clive.

(sighs)

I was the only one
to take a chance on you

after your Solar Sports fiasco.

We promised you your own show,

because you would have
a way with viewers,

but you're losing them!

- Let's calm down, okay?

Look, we've discussed
this before.

Wake-Up is my grooming ground.

When All Clive Live
is a massive hit,

we'll never remember
today's little malfunction.

- That's what I'm telling you.

There is no All Clive Live.

If this continues,
there's no Clive.

You said you would tone it down
after last month's warning.

- But have you checked
your phone?

Because my grand exit
has gone massively viral,

so you're welcome.
- Unfortunately,

we don't make money
on likes and views.

We make money on ads.

I begged the network
to let me talk to you

and get you help.
- Oh, you mean like a shrink?

Thank you, no. I will walk.

- No. We need
to repair the damage.

Change your image.

I want you to work with Rebecca.
(scoffs)

- Becky?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, because she's a real
hot hire after today's outing.

- The audience loved her,
so did the network.

And I lied, they actually
think I'm firing you right now.

- Oh, man.
- So, if you agree to this,

I can spin it
into a short suspension

and buy us some time.
- She's just so fluffy!

And seemingly ineffective.

- We all have our off days.

Look. I know how hard
you've worked

to succeed in this field.
You're right.

I do think your show
will be a massive hit.

We just need to...

tweak you a bit to fit
into what we need from you.

Can you do that?

If not, I'm sorry, I'm gonna
have to end it all now.

- No, no, no.
Clive Baxter does not get fired.

Okay? Clive Baxter
walks on his own accord,

which he's not gonna do today,
just to be clear,

he's not. Clive Baxter...

will see a guru.
I will see a guru.

- Yeah, I think you
should do that.

And I would start with
an apology when you do.

I heard her say she's headed

to the coffee shop
on the corner.

Now, I need to figure out
how to sell your journey

of being better to the network.
Good luck.

Okay...
- We got this.

It's gonna be fine,
I'll smooth it over.

(birds chirping)

- They are never gonna
have me on again.

I can't believe I misread
Roy so badly!

- Listen, I have to get going,
but I will follow up

with Margaret
and I'll feel her out.

- Don't even bother.

This is a definite
"We'll call you,

do not call us" situation.

- Listen, everything
will be fine. Trust me.

I will see you in a few.

- I'll be here,
licking my wounds.

- We'll chat soon.

(phone rings)

- No, not doing it.
Not today, Mom.

What... What are you doing here?

- Okay, let's just
get this over with.

I need you to help me.

- Oh, no hello?
Or better yet,

no "I'm so sorry"?
- We don't have time

for any of that, alright?
- I did my research

and I learned that you're...
usually pretty good.

- Huh.

Well, I usually don't work
with grumpy hosts

that made things worse.

- I need you to do
your thing with me.

Whatever it is that
you typically do.

- Well, since you asked me
so nicely.

- Can you just agree?
That way, I can call Margaret

and they can all
relax over there.

- Wait, Margaret?

Margaret put you up to this?

You mean, she doesn't think
I'm a total failure?

- No, it was her idea.

Lucky for you,
I chose the right day

to see your total failure

and raise you
out of career suicide.

- Well, then...

Do you even want
to work with me?

Or better yet, I should ask you,

do you even want
to work on yourself?

- If it means I get to keep
my job, then yeah, sure.

- Typical.
- What?

- Enjoy the cheesecake.

- Come on, what did I say?

What... I do, I do,
I do, seriously.

- No, you don't.

- Rebecca, Rebecca,
yes, I do. I do.

- Oh, really? Why?

- Because this show is the first
time I've felt like I belong

to something since
being on a team.

It's not easy, retiring
from something you've done

since you were four years old.

And what made you successful
in that arena

doesn't always translate
to post-pro life.

- I get that.

- I've been promised
my own show this summer.

I can't lose that,
because one thing

that never changes for me
is the refusal to lose.

- Now, that!
That's the first step.

It's figuring out the why.

- I'm already pretty good
at this.

- But I'm gonna have to ask
something of you

that I feel like might be
a massive feat.

- Come on, I've already
given you a lot today.

- I need an apology.

And I'm not talking something
followed by an "and"

or an "if" or a "but"
or a "because",

I need an unconditional apology.

Go ahead.

- I... am...

- Mm-hmm?
- ...sorry. I'm sorry.

- Perfect.
- Happy?

- Yeah. Apology accepted.

- Okay.
- I'll be in touch.

(sighs)
- This will be fun.

- Yes, Margaret, thank you
so much for the second chance.

Yes, I will keep you updated.
Thanks.

(beep!)

Well, it's official!

- What does that mean?

- I've gotta get Clive
back on the air

and I've gotta repair
his tarnished image.

My goodness. She wants me
to make him a priority.

- Is the network paying this
like we're their only priority?

- Yeah. So, you're gonna
have to take care

of the rest of the clients,
okay?

Meanwhile, I need a crash course
on Mr. Clive Baxter.

- Oh... I got you.

- Okay, he is a Baxter banger.

It's what they call
Clive's super fans.

- What? They have
a name for them?

- Whoa, you don't understand
what he's accomplished.

As an American, he transformed
the Premiership League.

He is a global star.

Just... not so much here,
unless you are a soccer fan.

- Well, I mean, I knew
that he was a former pro...

- He's huge. He can't walk
outside overseas.

Which is why he came back
to the States

to start his TV career.

Elise isn't too happy about it.

- Who's Elise?

- Elise. Elise Hendrix.

His long-time on-again
and off-again relationship.

- Oh.

- His career was never
the same after her,

but now, they're engaged.

- She's gorgeous.

- And quite a handful, I hear.

- Well, you know what?
They're right for each other.

I don't know anyone who could
stand this guy long enough

to fall in love with him,
let alone be married to him.

- He's pretty private
about their relationship.

I guess she refuses
to live in the States.

- Interesting.

He does not come across
as an engaged type.

Just saying.
(chuckles)

Well, I got to get to work.

I've got a feeling
this global star

is going to be quite
the challenge.

(birds chirping)

(soft music)

(utensils clinking)

- Hi. Hope you came hungry.

- Yeah.
- Come in, come in.

I got the last
of the sauce simmering,

got a bird crisping,

got a flourless chocolate cake
doing whatever

flourless chocolate cakes do,
it looks really good.

- You cook?

Well, that just nixed my primary
stereotype about you.

- Yeah, well,
I've never been able

to cruise down the corner café,
so I became a culinary savant.

Plus, it wouldn't look great
if my fiancée woke up

to pictures of me and my...

image consultant
in the tabloids.

- Oh, you mean that me
being here right now

in your secluded, incredibly
gorgeous house is better?

- Eh.
(laughs)

- I was thinking that maybe
we would get straight to work.

- Yeah, yeah, we will,
we just got to fuel up first.

Do you want to hop
on salad duty?

- Salads are my specialty.

- Yeah, I've got
salt and pepper for you.

- Okay, what do we got here?

(bird cawing)

That was a great lunch,
thank you.

- You're welcome.

- It's nice to see you
on your own battleground.

Albeit a little removed
from civilization.

- Yeah, well, you gotta
watch out for any bogies

flying overhead
or the unexpected booby traps.

- You do realize that's not

the right way to walk
through life, right?

It's exhausting.

My first assessment of you.

You have fallen victim
to your own persona.

You feel the need to be what
everybody perceives you to be.

- Or that's just my personality.

- Hmm, no, I don't think so.

Trust me, and this took years
for me to figure out,

but it's so much easier
to get through life

when you have a sense of humour
and you can laugh at yourself

or you can laugh at
your persona, in this case.

- Okay, I don't know
if you can tell,

but I'm not really a big...

joke-around kind of guy.

- It's not like you need
a 30-minute set or anything.

You just have to be the kind of
guy that can laugh at the fact

that he can't set
his own dinner table.

- What?
- No offence.

Or you can show
the audience the real you.

The one that just...

revels in the intricate details
of his apricot sage sauce.

Which was dynamite, by the way.

- Thank you, you know,
it was the pinch

of mustard seed
that makes it pop.

- See? That was real!

Come on, stand up!
- Wait, wait, what are we doing?

(laughs)
- This is going to be

our first exercise.
- Ugh...

- Okay, we're gonna learn
to let things go.

Start to shake. Shake, shake!
- You want me to do that?

- Shake, shake, shake! Woo!

- Are you okay? You alright?

- I'm fine! Your turn.
- I'm gonna get... No, no.

- Go! Really?
- Not doing that.

- Okay, maybe it's too advanced.
- Too advanced.

- Let's start with something
more traditional.

- That sounds good.
- Um...

- Great, I can't wait for this.

- Ha!
- Oh...

- This is going to be
your journal.

Journal entries are vital to us

being able to accomplish
our goals in life.

- Okay, so you just want me
to write about my day?

I can do that.
- No, no, no!

I have an assignment for you.

Your first assignment
is to write three things

that shaped you as a man,
and how you might change them.

- No, I don't do
this mushy stuff, okay?

I'm very happy with who I am,

I don't need a full
transformation,

I just need you to help me
get better at my job.

- I can't help someone
who thinks they're perfect.

Look, you let me know
when you're ready.

You call me then.

(sighs)
If you still have a job to save.

- Come on, Rebecca, seriously?

- Oh, and my second assessment
of you, by the way,

you're not perfect!

(Rebecca chuckles)

(sighs)

(phone buzzes, chimes)

- Oh, this isn't good.

(phone chimes)

(sighs)

- Please try again.
If you can reach him,

he's a ratings gold mine.

- Well, I can't help someone

who doesn't want
to embrace the work.

As big of an opportunity
as this may seem, I just...

I wish I could overlook it.

- What if I gave you
a regular segment on Wake-Up?

- That would be amazing!

- If you get Clive
to right the ship,

I'll make that happen.

- Oh, I'd be lying
if I didn't say

that the challenge of working
with Clive would be intriguing.

Yeah, I do see potential.

- I do too! For both of you.

- I might have to take
his ego down

a few notches to make it work.

- Do what you have to do.
You got this.

Good news! Rebecca's agreed
to give you another shot.

(sighs)

- Is this where I humbly
swallow my pride

and express my gratitude?

- Yes, that would be
what's best.

- How did you even get her
to come on board?

- In exchange
for a regular segment.

- Wait, what?

- The network loved her
and how she navigated

the turbulence
of her first appearance.

- By crash-landing?
It was a disaster.

Margaret, this doesn't
make sense.

I get all the blame
and she gets her own segment?

- Just agree and we can leave
this all behind us.

- Do I have a choice?

- No, not unless you want

your mini vacay
to become permanent.

- Fine.

(upbeat music)

Okay, so now that we both know
that I'm your meal ticket

to bigger and better things,

what do we need to do
to give them what they want

so we can both just
get what we need?

- Oh no, if you think I'm just
gonna mail this in,

you obviously don't know me
very well.

- Okay, we'll put on
a good show, but come on!

This is...

- You are my utmost priority.

You better be prepared
to work hard.

- You're welcome, by the way,
for your career advancement.

(scoffs)
- I believe that good things

come to people who work
tirelessly on a goal.

- Sure. Well,
I'll just be sitting here

whenever you want
to say thank you.

I'm glad you brought this,
by the way.

I mean, my head
is always much clearer

whenever my feet
are on the ball.

- Oh, well, you're welcome.

I believe it was you
who said that you can't become

a professional athlete
without having

a burning desire
to succeed, right?

That was you, wasn't it?

Let's use that.

I also think
that as a professional,

you should learn to give back.

See that kid over there?

His name is Quinn.
He lives in the neighbourhood.

And his dad wants him
to be good enough

to play with the rest
of the kids. Look at him.

I said, "You know what?
I've got just the coach for you

to put him back on track."

- Rebecca, I'm a professional
athlete.

I'm not gonna go coach
a bunch of kids.

I mean, I hold two single-season
records in the Euro League.

- Sounds like
you're qualified to me.

(sighs)
Go on.

- Can I at leat coach
the less horrible ones?

- No. No.

In fact,
I do believe that failure

is a key ingredient to growth.

- Hmm. Okay. Okay, alright.

They're kids, I got this,
I got this.

I'm great with kids.
I love kids.

Hey, you're doing it all wrong!
Come on!

(upbeat music)

Okay, let's start
by dribbling it.

- How?
- How? You just...

move the ball
between the feet, bud.

- I don't get it.

- You just do it,
it's not that hard.

- Well, I think it's hard.

(sighs)

- It's because
you're not very good.

Or athletic.

Okay.

Alright, look, come here.
Come here, kid.

I wasn't very good
when I was your age either,

but I practised nonstop
and it all became second nature.

- My dad says you're famous?

(chuckles)
- You must not watch

a lot of soccer.

- He just said Rebecca's friend
was pretty good.

- Wait, he said, "pretty good"?

- I don't watch much soccer,

I just play it 'cause I think
it's really fun.

- Yeah, it is fun, isn't it?
- Yeah.

- Alright, look.
Let's do it one more time.

I want you to hit the ball
with the inside of your foot

and before you strike it,
envision the ball

going where you want it to go.

Okay?
- Okay.

(laughs)
- Yes! That's it!

That's the one to end on,
good job.

(laughs)

(chuckles)

- Can you come play
with the group?

They play on Thursdays.

Maybe if you come,
they'll let me play.

- Oh...

- I think that's a great idea.

- I'll practise really hard.

- Yeah, okay. That sounds good.

- Wow.

It's really great
to see him smiling again.

Can I buy you a drink
to say thanks?

- Uh, you know, it's a really
busy week at work,

but maybe another time.

- Gotcha.
- Yeah.

- Well, thank you.
- Totally.

- And thank you.
- Of course.

- Yeah? I did good!

That's giving back.
That kid was pumped up!

- I know, but you really should
have let him say thanks to you.

- I don't really do new friends,
Rebecca. It's just...

- Duncan is a great guy.

It would be good for you.

- All that guy wants to do
is brag to his buddies

that he bought
Clive Baxter a beer.

That's how that goes down.

- Duncan is a single father.

His wife passed away last year.

(sighs)

- You know what I really loved
about playing soccer?

I got to affect people
with what I did on the pitch,

not who I am as a person.

I've been a soccer player
my whole life and now,

all of a sudden, you know,
I have to be a person,

a whole person!

- I do what I do so I can affect
people's lives positively.

I will send you his number.

Just in case you have
a change of heart.

And I'll be in touch
with the next things

that I've got on my list,
so just...

Think about it.
- I don't doubt that.

- Alright.

Good work!

(sighs)

(car whooshing by)

(door opens)

(door closes)

- Gillian told me
you left the office

because you needed to think.

- It's nice to see
you still come here.

- Hey, Mom.

Charlie gave me
the code to come in.

I think he was sick of me
constantly asking.

- Ah, benefits of being
the pride and joy

of the theatre, I guess.

- You know, the sound stages
and the studios,

they never gave me
the same feeling.

This...

This is where I was happiest.

Here, I was a kid.

I had fun, Mom.

- Have you been ignoring
my calls?

- No. No, I'm occupied
with my new client, Mom.

- I know, I would have loved
to have heard it from you.

Gillian told me.
- Oh.

So, that's why you're here, huh?

- I mean, this is huge!
A regular segment?

It sounds like this football
star is exactly what you needed.

- He's a soccer star, Mom.

- Football is
an international sport.

That's what they call it
globally.

And that's how you need
to start thinking.

I mean, he could literally
take YVB global.

You know what?
I'm going to put you in touch

with my London office
right away.

- No, Mom! The Audrey train
is just chugging along

at full speed ahead.

(scoffs)
- You need to recognize

opportunity and strike!

- I'm not gonna use
my clients like that, Mom.

Especially Clive.

He's sensitive,
to say the least.

To trusting others.

- It's only business.
This is how the world works.

- Yes, exactly.
And I ask again

for you to please trust me
to run my own business.

- Okay.

You know, I caught a show.

He does have a sparkle.

- You know, his ego
kind of ruins that sparkle.

- Oh.
- He's engaged, too.

I think he takes life
way too seriously.

That's it! Oh!

He needs to have fun!

He needs to act
like a kid again.

(laughs)

Thanks, Mom.

(light music)

(birds chirping)

- Okay, you said
to meet you at the park.

Now what?

At least there aren't any kids
here this time.

I don't know if you were
trying to torture me

or help me earlier.
- Hey, kids are valuable

learning tools.

- Yeah, and annoying.

- Ta-da!
(laughs)

Hey, we were all kids once.

And I bet you that
little Clive was carefree

and open to anything.

- Little Clive was practising
his ball-handling skills

six hours a day.

- Well, more the reason
for big Clive

to let loose and have some
good old-fashioned fun!

Tag!
- Okay, okay,

I don't know if you heard,

but fun is not really my speed.

It's not really an emotion
that I need to feel.

- I don't believe you!

First around the jungle gym
and down the slide wins!

- You got a massive head start!

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

(sighs)

I don't know, I think
that was too close to call.

- Says the clear loser!

- Just used to winning.
I don't know what to say.

- Maybe you just met your match.

- Ha, maybe so.
(chuckling)

What?
- That.

You should that more often.

- I do this plenty.

- Oh, well. You remember
that feeling, okay?

(imitates buzzing)
- Got it.

- Okay, this next assignment
might not be as fun.

Just like when we were kids.
We all have homework.

- Do you ever just relax?

- Hmm... No.
- Okay.

- The network is paying me
a pretty penny to annoy you.

- Ah...
- Is it working yet?

- Mm-hmm.
- Check your phone.

(phone chimes)
Take a look.

- "Do you find yourself

repeating patterns
of behaviour?"

- Yes.
- "Are you a repeat offender?"

- Yes!
- Really?

- Journal entry.
This is gonna be good for you.

- Journal entry. Okay, alright.
Like, writing?

- Yes!
- I gotta write this?

- Yes, yes.

(boat horn blows)

- Honey, I know you wanted
to give the whole TV thing a go,

but maybe this is just a sign.

- Well, we'll see if any
of this is working

once I get in front of
a live audience again.

- You're a footballer.

(sighs)
- Please, I was a footballer.

I'm not anymore.
- You can still play.

What about that new league
that's starting up?

I mean, it's not
the Premiership,

but it sounds solid.

- Ronnie and the team have
already gauged the interest.

- You'd be perfect.

(sighs)

- Thanks.

It's built on a bunch
of washed-up players

who can't hang it up yet.

- That's not what I meant.

I just want to see you happy.

Come home. Our life is here.

- Your life is there.

The one that you refused
to leave.

- 'Cause I'm waiting
for this bleating interest

of yours to pass.

- I don't know.

I think I can be really good
at this if I commit.

- Well, then can you
at least visit?

- I am on shaky ground!
Why don't you come here?

- You know I can't
fly that long.

- Well, then sounds to me
like it's on you to understand.

- I just miss you.

Clive. I said, I miss you.

- I do too.

Have fun tonight, okay?
See you.

(beep! beep!)

(phone rings)
- Okay. One sec, oh, oh!

Hey, hey! Uh, Clive.

- Hey, you busy?

- Uh... Kind of.

- Okay, look, I'm working
on my next assignment,

right now I'm on a run
and I'm just getting

more frustrated and winded.

You think you can come over?
- Uh...

Uh...
- Go!

- Yeah, uh, sure!
- Give me this.

- Okay, perfect. Uh...
Just come in,

because this next interval
might take me out.

- Okay, yeah.

(beep!)

(sighs)

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry,

I will come straight back here,
right after.

- No offence, but I think
we can do without your muscle.

- Oh God, I can't go
looking like this.

- Why not?
He's just a client, right?

- Oh, that face does not say
he is just a client.

- He is just a client.

Hmm!
- Hmm.

- Mm-hmm!

- He's not just a client.
- She's smitten.

(laughs)

- Okay.
- Okay, here we go.

(birds chirping)

- Hey.
- Hey.

- This is a cute look.

- Well, you saved me
from moving duties, I owe you.

- Okay, look,
this next assignment

is really starting to...
- Oh, wow. Are you trying

to open up a shoe store?
- Oh...

Yeah, it's ridiculous.
My sponsor sends me all these.

It's like, how many pairs
of shoes can a guy wear?

I would give them to charity,
but I don't really know

if they're gonna go
to the right place, so...

- You know what?

Let's scratch the first
exercise.

Let's use this as an opportunity
to build your trust. Hmm?

Each box represents

something from your past

that has led you
to expect the worst in people.

Building a wall.

Let's start with this one.

- Uh...

Well, you know,

my dad wasn't exactly
father of the year.

He gave me the gift of soccer,
but he definitely expected

his due in return once
the contracts came in.

- Okay. That was good.

Let's try this one.

(sighs)

- After winning the Euros,

the team that drafted me
let me go.

No loyalty, just,
"Out with the old."

- Try this.
- Rebecca,

I think that's good for now.

- Okay, yeah, no. We just...

take a pause.

I... always loved acting.

Until I realized that people
wanted me to be

who I was on TV,
and I had no control over that.

- Hmm.

Once the playing days ended
and the fame dwindled,

I was just left
to go at it alone.

- My best friend growing up
was my tutor.

She was 32.

- My best friend over there,
Derek...

distanced himself once my career
took off.

It was the closest thing
I had to a brother.

- My relationship with my mom,
that's a tough one.

I hope we can work things out.

- The woman
that I've committed to,

I don't know if she loves me

or she loves the life
that I gave her.

- You should probably
know that...

- I don't know if it's because
something has changed between us

or we're just different
people now, but I really...

...know and I don't!

(sighs)

- Do you think that
this offered any clarity?

- I think I feel... something.
I don't know.

Look, maybe...

Maybe it's not
all that big of a mystery.

(soft music)

Was your tutor really your best
friend when you were a kid?

(chuckles)

Ouch.

- I know.

My childhood was... interesting.

It's all good.

- You should be careful.

That optimistic veneer

is starting to crack
a little bit.

(chuckles)

Thank you for that.

I mean it.

What are you doing
for the rest of the day?

- I'm trying to get out
of moving duties.

Hey, I got an idea.
Are you open to it?

- Definitely.

- You're up first.

- Do you always keep a bag of
clubs in the back of your car?

- Well, golfing is addicting.
You'll see.

- You've got it figured out.

Take a fun activity
and call it work, I like that.

- Well, my trick
is to sneak in the lesson

when you're not looking.
- Okay, here we go.

Oh... What does that represent?

- The bad golfer.
- Mm-hmm.

Been 12 years.

- Since you looked
at a golf ball?

'Cause you've certainly
never touched one.

- It's much easier
to look than hit.

Okay, here we go.

Ah!
- Ooh!

(water splashing)
- Okay...

Yeah, pretty bad.

- Considering you're
a professional athlete,

I mean, that is next-level bad.

- Professional soccer player.
I use my feet.

Check this out.
At least 150 yards.

- Oh, no! You don't want
to use your feet with this!

(laughing)

The secret is to take
your weaknesses

and focus on your strengths.

Try not to avoid things
that you find to be difficult.

Go for it.

Focus.

- Oh, that felt good!

- Beautiful!
'Cause you were open.

- Oh, I see what you did there.
(laughs)

You just weaved in
a little lesson.

- That's what I do.
(chuckling)

Okay, for the next one,

you want to keep your head down
for the follow-through.

- Alright.

(laughing)

Alright, come here, big boy!

(upbeat music)

- Oh, you do know they have
park services for that, right?

(laughs)
- Well...

we are literally
turning over a new leaf today.

- Oh!

- You see these leaves?
- Mm-hmm.

- Each one represents something
that you need to change.

- Oh.
First, you're gonna identify

what you need to change.

Then, you're gonna identify
how to change it.

Then, you're gonna flip it over.
Like that.

Then, you're gonna leave
the leaf behind for good.

Go ahead.
- That's quite a few leaves.

- Hey, I'm just operating
on the supplied data.

(laughs)
- Alright. Uh...

Start with this one.
- Just really think about it.

- How about a pic, Clive?

- Uh...

- Yeah!
- Yeah, sure, we can do that.

- Hey, listen.

This is a perfect opportunity
for you not to run,

so embrace it! Okay?

Put the good behaviour
into motion, not just words.

I'll be right here.
- Okay.

- Want a group pic?
- Yeah.

- Great.

(soft music)

(shutter clicks)

(chuckling)

(shutter clicking)

(chuckling)
- Sure, yes.

- Bet you wished
you had that kick

from the '16 Euros back, huh?

- I do, I do.

- You cost us, man.
You robbed us of history.

- Have you ever kicked a ball
with millions of people

pinning their hopes
and dreams on you?

- No.
- Mm-hmm.

- But I was never paid millions
of dollars to do it either.

- Okay, yeah, okay.
- Thank you all.

- Hey. It was so nice
to meet you, thank you, thanks.

- Hey, aren't you Bratty Becky?

We saw you on his show.
- Yeah, yeah, I am.

- Couple of has-beens together.
- Alright, you know what, man?

- Oh no, no. No, no, no.

Stop. I'm so sorry,
have a great day. Come on!

(sighs)

- You know what?
How's this for an escape plan?

Let's just get out of here.
- Oh, yeah, this is great!

- Thanks, bud.

- Thank you!
(laughs)

I love this. Oh, yes!

(sighs)

- Okay, are you good?

- Ah, this is fabulous!

(laughs)

Oh, I haven't done this
in so long.

(soft music)

Let's just let that slight
outburst slide, shall we?

- That's much better
than it used to be.

- Back in the day,
I would have decked that guy.

- Wow!

- I scored 323 career goals.

But I missed
the most important shot.

That's all people
choose to remember.

I mean, granted, the goalie
made an incredible save.

But he makes that save one
out of a hundred times maybe,

and he just happened
to make the save that day.

And that's the difference

between being remembered
as a good player

and being remembered
as a legend.

- So, it's the fear
that one person

will remember that moment,

and cancel out
all of your adoring fans.

- I guess it's the same
for you too, isn't it?

I mean, you did something
special as a child,

and somehow, that's a bad thing.

The public turns on you,
so I've decided to turn on them.

- You know, I've realized

that I haven't really
let that stuff go.

It's affected my relationship
with my mom.

It's not her fault,
I can't blame her for it.

I've just avoided it.

- It's easier just
to walk away sometimes.

- I just want to be Rebecca.

The segment that we did,

that was my first time
on TV in 20 years.

- And some jerk made it
extra hard for you.

I am really,
really sorry about that.

- It's okay. You know what?
Let's focus on you,

and getting back
your adoring fans.

- Yeah, well that's
what's tricky.

I mean, I just wish people
could be more kind.

- Same.

- With this leaf,

I choose not to let
things get to me.

(soft music)

(phone buzzing)

- You should, uh, answer that.
- Yeah, yeah.

- It's Elise.
She's been calling me all day.

She wants my opinion on this
ridiculously expensive rug.

- Maybe that's the next leaf
that you should be turning over.

- It's just a rug.

- You know what I mean.

- I know.

(upbeat music)

- Okay, okay, so tell us
about dancing in this movie.

- Well, I had never danced
professionally before the movie,

but now, I feel like
I could teach anybody.

- Oh, hold on, hold on.
Anyone?

Because I know an ex-pro soccer
player with two left feet.

(audience laughs)
- I'm up for the challenge.

- Oh, goodness.
- No, oh my gosh!

(audience cheers)
Yes, yes!

- Okay, okay!
- Let's hit it!

- Amazing! Yes!

- Yes!

(upbeat music)

(indistinct chatter)

(laughing)

- Nice!

Attitude, yeah!
- Attitude, swagger!

(applause)

- I love it!

(Clive howling)

- Dip! How 'bout a dip?
Watch this.

(audience cheers)

- Beautiful!

- And we will be right back,
after this commercial break.

- Wow! Good job.

- Nice chemistry.
- Who knew he could dance?

- I meant the two of you.

I don't know how you did it.

Do you think you could
do that again?

Like, on a daily basis?

Bring out this kind
of change in people?

- Uh, sure!

(chuckles)
- Great!

Good job.

(laughing)

- That's how we always do it.

It's all in the hips.

(laughing)

- I mean, working with Rebecca
has been like,

really eye-opening.

- That's good.
I streamed your last show.

I see you still got your moves.

You look happy.
- Yeah.

- Any word from Ronnie
about the new league?

- Uh, yeah, yeah.
We're actually gonna get

an offer from
the London-City Squad.

(laughs)
- That's amazing!

Why didn't you tell me?

- Because I'm back on track
to get my own show here,

and I want to see it through.

- Is that the only reason?

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Oh, nice!

- You know, I'm working
on a whole new vibe here,

and I wanted to show you,

since you've been
my interior decorator of sorts.

- Did Clive Baxter
just make a joke?

- Yes, he did.
A pretty good one, too.

- Oh, this looks great!
It's so warm and inviting.

- Thank you.
- Oh!

I... like your personal touch.

- Uh, yeah, I'm still kinda

trying to figure out
where to put everything.

Hey! What are you doing
this afternoon?

Do you want to have some lunch?

- Oh, I can't. I've got plans

with my friends
Felix and Gillian.

- Okay. Uh, raincheck.
Dinner, Friday night.

You know what?
Bring Felix and Gillian.

It'll be like a housewarming!

- You don't even know them
and they're strangers, so...

- It's called growth.

It's a real thing,
it's happening. Feel it?

- Eh...

(Gillian): In college,
I was like,

who is this girl?

She would organize
charity drives,

the intermurals on the weekend,

the best parties,
and make killer 3 AM nachos.

- You remember?
- How could I not remember that?

You see, I knew then

I was not letting
this one out of my life.

- Okay, now that
I'm not so star-struck,

I gotta tell you...

- He has been waiting
all night for this.

- It's not often I get to speak
with a legend of the game.

(Gillian): A legend!
- A legend, wow!

- Your game winner in extra time
against Man City in '14

was the prettiest goal
I've ever seen.

- I should've done that
in the '16 Euros.

- No. No, the goalie
made a great save.

I mean, he only makes that
one out of hundred times.

What are you gonna do?
He guessed right.

- Thank you, Felix.
That's really kind of you.

- Honey, we have to have Clive
at our engagement party.

You have to come with Rebecca.

- Yes! No, as a friend.

- To new friends.

- That sounds fun.

- To new friends!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

(laughing)

- Hey, that was
a really great time,

we should all do that again.

- Yeah, that was so much fun,
thank you!

- Good night.

- Thank you.

So, I'll see you in the morning?
- For sure.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- I see the old Rebecca
I once knew.

- I see a whole new Rebecca.
- Mm-hmm!

- A whole new Rebecca!
A whole new Rebecca!

- Get in the car!

(Gillian): Okay, look at
your smile right now, woman!

(indistinct chatter)

(upbeat music)

- Well, I hope you make it
through the commercial break

this time, Clive.

I'll try not to provoke
another meltdown

with my opinion.
(audience laughs)

- Okay, I have learned
not to argue with an expert.

I was wrong. You were right.

And I am sorry.

(applause, cheering)

- Well, as I was telling
a client recently,

being able to--
- Admit mistakes

and apologize, it's an important
part of growth.

(applause, cheering)

(cheering continues)

(upbeat music)

(indistinct chatter)

You been here before?
It's a great spot, love it.

- Thank you.
- Here, here, here.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Put that away, I got you!

Come on! I wouldn't have said it
if I didn't mean it.

Put it on my tab, thanks.

Hey, thanks for taking
the time with Quinn

and finally reaching out.
- Of course.

- You know,
after his mom passed,

it took him a while
to get excited about anything.

- When was that?

- Uh, wow...

One year next week.

Yeah, she was the only
love of my life.

I knew the first time I met her.

But hey, I don't have
to tell you,

you just found
that kind of love.

(laughs)
So, when's the wedding?

- Uh, you know,
we're still trying

to figure out the logistics.

Things sort of stalled
a little bit.

Long distance and all,
it's not easy.

- Well, if there's one thing

it should be right now,
it's easy.

- Yeah, I know.

Rebecca keeps calling me
on that too,

and I know you're both right.

- She's a wonderful woman, man.

She used to check in
on Quinn after...

Yeah, she would make him lunch
and bring me dinner.

We'd only met a few times
in the park before that.

- I mean, I love Elise, I do.
I really do.

And I'm marrying her, I am.
And it's gonna be great, but...

Man, I gotta tell you,
I have laughed more

in the last three weeks
with Rebeca

that I have in the previous
three years before that.

(chuckles)
- Look, bud.

I know you're a man
of the world,

but where I'm from,
friends shoot straight.

(sighs)
- Let's hear it, please.

- I've learned to appreciate
every day in love.

But if it's not the right
kind of love,

don't waste any more
of your time.

Make you happy.
Do what makes you light up.

Like soccer does.

- Do you play golf?

(laughing)

- You got jokes.

- Ratings are climbing
and word is that we're on track

to recover our ad partners.

- That's great!
- It is.

It's not what I wanted
to talk to you about.

- Oh.
- As you know,

we've promised Clive
his own show.

- Yes, no, that would really
complete the work.

He's going to be thrilled.

- We have that slot to fill,

we just don't want
to fill it with Clive.

- Why not?

- 'Cause we want to fill it
with you instead.

"Your Very Best" daily hour.

After seeing the audience
react to you

and what you pulled off
with Clive,

I pitched the idea
to the network,

and they're on board.

- My very own show? And Clive?

- Well, the plan was never
to keep him on "Wake Up".

- Then what was the plan?
- He'll land on his feet.

This just didn't work out.
Network wanted to really

move more into the self-help
realm over another morning show.

It just took you
for them to see it.

- Does Clive know this?

- No. And you can't tell him,
or anyone.

I'm taking a huge risk
by telling you.

But I just wanted you to know
because we are so excited!

- What are you so excited about?

- Um, her upcoming schedule.

- Oh, nice! Hey, I'm actually
really glad you're here,

because if you're free later,

you should come by
the soccer fields.

- Okay.
- Putting in the work!

(birds chirping)

(Clive): Okay, here's the thing,

we're gonna go through
our drills,

we're gonna start
with two kicks,

then we're gonna do some
ball-handling, alright?

Ready? Here we go.

(upbeat music)

There it is, there it is,
there it is.

(laughing)

Bring it down. Nice, nice!

Beauty of a handle.

(indistinct chatter)

Alright, come here, bud.

(indistinct whispering)

- Okay.
- Alright.

- Walter, I'm open!

- Oh!

(laughing)
- Woo!

- Yes! That's what's up.
Good job, buddy.

(laughing)

- Hey!
(laughs)

- Thanks, Clive.
Did you see my goal?

- Sure did, it was amazing!
- Just like we practiced.

Like I said, practice pays off.

- And that's a huge
life lesson too, son.

So I'll see you later this week?
- For sure.

- Congrats!
- Thanks.

- Oh, what, you didn't hear
I have friends now?

Like I said, I've been
putting in the work.

- I'm impressed.
- Thank you.

I can now see your true talent.

- Just make sure you keep it up
when we stop working together,

which will be soon.

- Yeah. You know, I was thinking

maybe we could keep working
together outside of the show.

- Uh, yeah. I mean...

Actually...
- What?

- Never mind.

Can I show you something?

- Please.
- Okay, come on.

- Okay, what are we doing?
- Shh!

- What is this?
- I'm gonna show you.

Wait, just careful.
- Careful?

- Keep your voice down.

- I'm pretty sure
we're trespassing.

- Come this way.
(laughing)

Okay.
- Alright.

- Are you ready?
- What? What is this?

Oh.
(laughing)

Wow. This is really cool.

- This is where
I used to perform.

Now I just come here
to relax and reboot.

- I get that.
It's so quiet in here.

- You know,
I really did love it.

I loved it here, not on TV.

Out here...
(laughs)

They would come and watch
for one night only,

and everything lived
right here on the stage,

in this moment.

They didn't save it for years.

(soft music)

I had my guard up too.

For a long time.

I was nervous that maybe...

my fans would one day
turn on me.

- Our two completely
different worlds

aren't so different, are they?

- Hmm.

- You know, the team has
offered me a spot to return.

It's mine if I want it.

It's... in London.

- Do you want it?

- No. For the first time
in my life, I don't.

- I mean, are you sure?
Maybe you should hear them out.

- I'm surprised
to hear you say that.

- It's just an option.

- No, I'm clear,
this is what I want to do now.

I lacked purpose in my life

after my football career
was over.

I was lost for so long.

I feel like I finally
found that, thanks to you.

- Me?

(door opening)

- Oh no, it's the paparazzi!

- What? No, that's just...

(laughing)

- Ah, that was fun.
- That was fun.

- I... I should probably
head home.

- Yeah, and I should
probably get ready.

- Yeah.

- So, I'll see you
at the engagement party.

- I'll be there.

Look at me! I'm a real
social butterfly now.

(chuckling)

- See ya.
- I'll see ya.

- Yeah.

(soft music)

(phone chimes)

(sighs)

- Oh, wow.

- What do you think? Too much?

- Are you kidding? You look like
the star that you are.

- Well, I am going to
my friend's engagement party.

- Okay...

- What?

- Well, didn't you say
that he was gonna be there?

- Yes, Mom.
He's their friend too now.

- Just be smart.

- He's my client.

- Yeah, I get that.

All I'm saying is that
I want you to be careful.

I know you better
than anyone else,

and if I know
what I think I know,

I just don't want to see
you get hurt.

- What, by wearing a dress?

- By mistaking
a working connection

for something more,

and falling for a guy
who's engaged.

There. Did I spell it out
enough for you?

- I hear you, Mom. Thanks.
And I am being smart.

Good.
- I think.

- Oh, dear.

- Margaret gave me my own show!

- Oh, that's amazing!

- It's at the expense of Clive,
though.

- Okay, well maybe
this is for the best.

You know, he can carry on
with his fiance,

and you get what you deserve
professionally.

- See, this is why I'm so
scared to tell you things.

You get these ideas in your head
and you just run with them.

- I'm your mother!
What do you expect?

- What if...
What if I am conflicted?

My feelings?

Do you have any advice
as my mom?

- Just focus on yourself.

You have worked too hard
to let your feelings ruin this,

especially for a guy that's
in love with someone else.

- But what if he's not?

- Honey, please don't make
the same mistake I did.

(soft music)

- We're late.

Come on.

- None of this
would be happening

if I hadn't made the second-best
decision of my life

and hired Rebecca.

She gave me the confidence

to make the very best decision
of my life,

which is to marry Gillian.

My best friend.

(guests): Aw!

- Okay, enough mushy stuff.

Some people save
all the dancing for the wedding,

but as you know, Gillian and I

are not those kinds of people.

Hit it!

(rhythmic music playing)

(laughing)

- I'm coming for you!

(indistinct chatter)

- Oh!

(laughing)

(♪)

Oh!
(laughing)

- Clive. I just wanted
to thank you for bringing

some life back to my daughter.

- Well, the rejuvenation's
been mutual.

- Look. I can see
how this whole thing

you have going on
can be very enticing.

But as a business woman,
I've never been afraid

to let my voice
or opinion be heard.

Please don't mess with her head.

With this new opportunity,

the finish line is
in your sights.

And she really doesn't need
any distractions.

- Clive! Come here, I need you
to help us settle something.

Okay, should a man be involved

in picking out
an engagement ring,

or do you think that it would
take away from the romance?

- I said, "What do you want?"
I don't want to get this wrong.

(laughing)
- Be honest.

- I don't know, I feel like
he should know what you want.

But if he doesn't, I bet
you'll love it anyways,

because it came from his heart.

I mean, there must've been

some reason that
he picked it out, right?

- Yeah.

You know what? I'm just gonna
steal her for one minute.

She'll be right back.
Come here.

- Excuse me.

- We're gonna rent
a big cabin out of town

for my bachelor party
in a couple weeks.

We'd love for you to join.

- You know,
let me give it a think.

I might be heading overseas
taking care of something

I should've done
a long time ago,

and it needs to be
done in person, so...

- Yeah, of course.
- Thanks.

- Well, Rebecca knows we want
to move forward with YVB Daily.

No, I haven't broken
the news to Clive yet.

Mm-hmm. Well, when he finds out
we're canning his show for hers,

I don't expect him to go calmly.

Yeah, I'll let him know

about the other decision
in a few days.

(soft music)

- I've gotta tell
you guys something,

but you can't say a word.
- Wait, us first.

There is something we want
to talk to you about.

- Okay...
- Well, after planning

the engagement party,
and seeing how much fun

everyone was having,
I think I've found my calling.

- Mm, dance competitions?
- Oh, stop!

(laughing)
No, party planning!

I've been thinking about
what my own best version is,

and although I've loved
helping you get YVB

to where it is, I really want
to give this a go. For me.

Well, and us.

- Your party was amazing!

Had I known you were gonna
abandon me,

I would've played down
my excitement!

(laughing)
- You're not mad?

- No, no, of course not.

Hey. I'm proud of you.
- Aw...

- I am.
- Thank you.

- I just want you
to be happy, hmm!

- And I'm just saying,
I have not seen you glow

like you did yesterday
since, well, ever.

- Oh, well,
even if that is true,

there is one big problem.

- Okay, time for my news.
Now, I'm breaking

the guy code here,
but I'm doing it

in the name of love.

(both): He's breaking up
with her!

- Wait, it was my news!

- Wait, wait,
how do you know this?

- Well, he told me. Not exactly,
but I read between the lines

and I'm pretty sure
it's going down.

- Uh, pretty sure?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, don't give him
any reason to doubt it.

Tell him how you feel.

- Based on hearsay?

- No! Based on what you feel!
- And what he obviously feels.

- If you're gonna do it,
can you hurry up?

I would like to find
wedding clients ASAP.

- See, this is what
it's all about, isn't it?

- Yeah. We want you to find
what you gave us.

- Aw.
(laughing)

- Hey, what were you
gonna tell us?

- I... I wanted your opinion
on something,

but I figured it out. Yeah.

You guys go ahead,
and I'll catch up.

- Okay, we'll talk soon.
- Bye.

- Bye.

(birds calling)

- Yeah...

(ringing tone)

Ugh, voicemail.

Hi, Margaret, it's Rebecca.
I can't take the offer.

I appreciate everything
that you've done, I just,

I can't do that to Clive.

So, uh, feel free to give me
a call back

and we can discuss
the next steps.

Thank you and I'm sorry. Bye.

(soft music)

(birds chirping)

(doorbell ringing)

Hi!
- Hi.

Did we have something scheduled?

- Oh, uh, no.
I was in the neighborhood.

(chuckles)
No, I saw this plant,

and it made me think of you.

It's a good graduation gift,
don't you think?

- Uh, yeah, thank you.
- Yeah. Um...

Did you want to go for a walk

or get a coffee?
I wanted to talk...

- Um...

- Hi.
- Rebecca, this is Elise.

- Uh, nice to finally
meet you in person.

(chuckles)
- My pleasure.

Rebecca, was it?
- Yeah, Rebecca.

- Um, I'll be just a second.

- I am so sorry. I did not mean
to interrupt anything.

- She surprised me.
We've been up talking all night.

- And?

- And... and she reminded me
of who I really am.

She and I have years of history,
not weeks.

- But that's the old you.
- Is it?

- Yeah.

- Do people really
change for good,

or am I just selling my soul
to be something

that they want me to be,
that you want me to be?

- No, no, I want you
to be the best--

- The best version of me,
I know, I know.

-You keep saying that.
What you feel is best,

which also happens to be good
for you, how convenient.

- And you?

- I think that she has
a valid point.

- No, not she! You!
How do you feel?

I don't even think
she knows you that well.

(scoffs)

- I am so sorry.
I'm not trying to get involved.

- Then don't.
We're moving back to London.

- I'm a footballer, okay?

I don't fit in with your type,
I was just playing a part.

- I disagree. I think you're
so much better than that.

- You're relentless.
Television people...

You don't know what's real
and what's fake.

Thanks for everything.

- Well?

(dialling)

- Yeah, hey, Ronnie.

Um, just letting you know
that I'll take the offer.

I'm coming home. Alright.

- Let's spend the day
together, okay?

We can go to the city,
have a walk,

make a plan like we used to.

I have some fantastic news.

I secured extra funding
for your morning TV show.

So that's all you really need
to focus on right now.

- It's over, Mom.

I already told Margaret.
It's not happening.

- What? Well, not unless
you make it happen.

- No. Sometimes things are
not in your control.

And after having been pushed
to do things my whole life,

I want to trust myself now.

- Pushed?

You know,
you have selective memory.

As a child, you begged me
to be an actress.

That was your dream.

So yeah, I wanted you
to dream big.

What is wrong with that?

- I wanted to stop acting, Mom.
Don't you remember?

No, because you didn't
listen to me,

just like you're not
listening to me now.

I don't want to mix
business and family.

Do you hear that?

- I will always fight for what
I think is best for you.

Sometimes, you need to get out
of your own way.

- Mom! Mom!

(engine starting)

- Well, I hope you're following
your heart,

'cause you have nothing left
to prove in the game.

- Quinn, is your dad always
this emotional?

- Pretty much.

- Look, man, it's complicated,
but thank you.

I've appreciated this,
seriously.

- Come on!
(laughing)

- Thanks, man.

Hey, great working
with you, bud.

- Thank you.
- Really good work.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

You guys come to London
for a game.

- Absolutely.
- See ya.

- Bye.

- Hey! Found you!

Did you think I was gonna
let you leave without

giving you one last big pitch?
- Hey, I know.

I know that Margaret is
replacing my show with you.

Why do you think I quit?

- Oh, right,
because Clive Baxter

leaves on his own terms, right?
He doesn't get fired.

- So you did know I was getting
the axe, that's perfect.

- No! I was hoping that things
would work out.

- They did work out. For you.

Yeah, I was just
your stepping stone.

- No, that was never the plan.

That's just what
ended up happening.

- You, Rebecca, out of everyone,

brought out that fear in me
that I can't trust people,

and after we worked so hard
to bury that exact fear...

- I turned the show down.

Did Margaret tell you that part?

I did it for you,
because I care about you.

- That's... That's really nice,
but you didn't need to do that.

- Well, this way,
you can go back

and talk to them
and work things out.

I don't have to be a part of it,
I want you to be happy.

- I think I figured out
what's gonna make me happy.

- Like avoiding that
big question in your life?

- That's your
relationship advice?

From the person who's convinced
herself that being single

is her best version.

I mean, I'm not a doctor
or an image consultant,

but that one doesn't seem
that hard to figure out.

- I'm working on that.

And I thought maybe...

Never mind.

- I've realized that sometimes,

we just have to accept
who we are.

And that's okay.

- Please, if you could just
give Clive his show back.

- He quit.

- He quit "Wake Up".
And since I'm out,

just pretend I was
never an option,

and give him his own show
in my spot.

He'll stay for that. Otherwise,

all of this is for nothing
if he just quits.

- Not if you just accept
the show. Think about it.

Would he do the same for you?

- I think he would.

- Well, I guess
we'll never know.

We're pre-taping
his last few episodes,

and then he's back to London.

- No, I am going back
to focusing on myself and work.

- Or maybe this is the time

to let other people
be there for you.

- Hmm. I got myself into this,
I can get myself out.

- Mm-hmm.

(phone chiming, buzzing)

- Ah, it's my mom.
We had a huge blowout.

- Repeat offender.
You gotta break the cycle.

- Yeah.
- Listen,

it took me hitting my low point

before I changed
any of my behaviors.

And if I hadn't,
I would've pushed Felix away

before I ever could've fallen
in love with him.

- I'm pretty sure I've destroyed
any chance of having

something like that with Clive.

- I am not talking about Clive.

Your mom's heart is
in the right place.

Like you told me,
you have to let go

of your past to move forward.

Come on.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hi.

- Okay, what is your new pitch?

- Look at this.

You could have your own show.

We don't need "Wake Up World".

You know, I believe
you have this gift,

and I think you should share it
with as many people as possible.

- Oh, Mom.

Okay, but I have one condition.

That you'll do this with me.

Nice doing business with you,
Mom.

(laughing)

- Oh!

- You know, I've realized
that it's true.

Everything you've done for me
was in my best interest.

I'm sorry.

- I'm still your mom,
and I love you so much.

And I feel when you're hurting.
What's going on?

- He got the card.

And I haven't heard anything.

It's done.

- What card?

(birds chirping)

(♪)

- Maybe she's right.

This is your best version.

And if I'm honest with myself,
our best version

was long ago.

I guess we've grown apart.

- Or I've just grown.
And that's okay.

(♪)

(Rebecca): As we finish
this journey,

I want you to know
that I've never been

more proud of someone.

You've shown me that the people

in our lives make us
our best version.

I very much want you in my life,

and like this plant,

hopefully we can both
continue to grow.

Together.

(♪)

(Clive): With this officially
being my last show,

I would like to thank everyone
who took a chance on me.

It's been an interesting ride.

One that I'll never forget.

(applause)

- Clive, I hope we don't
put you on the spot too much,

but can I say, it has been
an absolute pleasure

watching you grow
in this profession.

And it would be a shame
to stop now.

How would you like to see more
of this emotional chat,

bare it all, five days a week,

on his own show?

(applause, cheering)

What do you say?

All Clive Live?

(♪)

(Clive): Thank you, Margaret.

But I think it's time for me
to lay it all bare.

My engagement's been called off.

Or should I say, mutually agreed
upon by two mature adults.

(♪)

(phone chimes)

- What?

- I've come to realize

that we're all a work
in progress.

(door opening)
And that different people--

And that people come into
your life at different times.

And that's their purpose.

Some are more important
than others.

But everyone leaves their mark
on who you are.

A very special person
taught me this.

That's exactly what I said,
and I remembered it

because I actually
practiced it a lot.

(chuckles)

I turned it all down.

The football
and Margaret's offer.

- You mean... you're staying?

- Your mom called me.

She told me about your plan.

Congratulations.

You're gonna make a great team.

I've been thinking a lot
about your mantra.

What is the best version of you?
And I think that you nailed it.

It's being with someone
who brings out the best in you.

- Even if you didn't
see that person coming.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- You helped me realize

that we are not the same version
that we were last year.

Or even last month.

- Or even yesterday.

- I am ready to be
my best version.

A version that includes
forgiveness and trust.

And I saw that that is with you.

What do you think?

- I think...
we could use a cohost.

- Good, because I'm actually
out of a job.

- What?
(laughing)

Where'd all this funniness
come from?

- I was always funny.
You just brought it out in me.

(upbeat music)

Subtitling: difuze
