(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- And within the
white polycarbonate shell

there's a state-of-the-art
microprocessor.

- No kidding?
(chuckles)

And what's that thing?

- That's the battery.

It used gravimetric density
energy to power

the nano cameras.

- Nano cameras,
microprocessors...

It's no wonder that thing
makes a beautiful manicure.

- Well, it takes a gear head to
appreciate another gear head.

- Ah, I'm good at fixing things
but to create something

like that from scratch,

that takes a special
kind of genius, kid.

- Thanks, Carl.

- You remind me so much of how
your dad used to be

always tinkering
around with stuff.

Which reminds me...

- You need me to take another
look at that hybrid

that just came
in this morning?

- Aha... how'd you know?
- Heard you muttering earlier.

Come on let's see
what we can do.

- Aw...

- Okay, I replaced the battery
terminal and checked the motor.

That should do it,
try turning it on.

(car chiming)

Incredible! You're so good
with these fancy new models.

You won't forget us little
folk when you make it big.

- I am just trying to make
enough to move out
of my mom's place.

- Well, I'll support it
as long as we keep getting
the free coffee.

Your mom makes the best
cup of joe in town.

- Well, I'll tell
her you said so.

(doorbell chiming)
- Oh, business calls.

- No worries, I'm supposed
to meet my friend Daria
for drinks anyway.

Daria is my friend
from Beauty Labs.

I'm planning on pitching
her Phenomenails over drinks.

- I admire your hustle, kid.

Remember to buy the drinks,
grease the wheel, grease--

- Oh, I will be greasing.
- See you later, kid.

(doorbell chiming)

- Hey buddy, how can I help you?

- Hey I'm picking up for
my sister, Rachel Johnson.

- Oh, yeah.
You're going on a trip?

- Just uh... just landed
actually.

Took a taxi
straight from O'Hare.

- You just landed

and your sister's already
got you running errands?

- That about sums it up, yeah.

(chuckles)

- Well, you're a good
brother or a schmuck.

Either way I'll pull
it up front.

- Thanks.

- Oh, I got that.

Here! Let me help you.
- I'm fine, thanks.

- You have a thing against
accepting help from handsome
strangers?

I have a thing against
schmucks who can't take
no for an answer.

- That is the second time
someone's called me a schmuck
in the last two minutes.

You're really not going to let
me with your little globe?

- Excuse me, it's not
a globe it's my machine.

- Your machine?
Did you invent it?

- Yes, actually I did.
- Oh...

What is it?

- It's a mobile manicure system.

- Cute.
- Cute?

I'm gonna need you
to let go now.

- Beautiful and independent,
quite the catch.

- Do lines like that
usually work for you?

- Usually, yeah.

- Well, if you really
want to be of help,

you could grab
the door for me.

- What's the magic word?
- Uninterested.

- Ouch.

- You're really not gonna
tell me your name?

- No.

- Thank you.
- See you tomorrow!

- Who was that?

- That is the inventor
of Phenomenails,

smartest woman I've ever met.

Ah, second to her mother,
of course.

Key?
- Thank you.

- Have a good one.
Watch yourself.

- Phenomenails... Phenomenails?

That's actually
a really catchy name.

- So you bring this with
you everywhere now?

- No, not everywhere
but I could.

It's incredibly lightweight,
which is one

of the many benefits
of the polycarbonate shell.

- Well, just in time
'cause I just chipped a nail.

- You know, Phenomenails
is really powerful.

The gravimetric energy density

and the cycle life allow
the Phenomenail machine--

(yawning)
(Katya chuckling)

- Wow.

- To last for hours
without being charged

and within
the polycarbonate shell

there are these nano cameras
which are basically doing
all the work.

- Hm...
- Anyway...

Yay you can bring
your hand out.

- Wow, that actually is
the perfect manicure.

- Well, it takes off the old
polish, manicures and repolishes

in any colour
and design of your choice.

- Huh.

- And I am actually
looking for a partner

maybe someone
like Beauty Labs

to help me
market my machine.

- Well, do you want to
know my real opinion?

- Absolutely.
- As a professional.

- Yes.

- It's an interesting prototype,
impressive but expensive.

The tech specs don't matter to
our higher-ups,

it depends on if they'll make
a return on their investment.

- Well, I have no doubt in my
mind that Phenomenails

is the future of nail art.

- But will it fly
off the shelves?

- I mean what's your vision?

- I'm... I'm sorry?

- Well, why do
women need to have

this machine
in their homes?

Why did you need to create it?

- Without talking
about the nano camera

energy gravity
whatever.

This is a sales pitch
not a Ted Talk.

Look, I think you're on
to something here.

I really do, but you just need
to figure out your vision.

What's your story?

- Well, I appreciate
the honestly.

- Well, the Beauty Expo is
coming up in a week

and I know this is
pretty last minute

but if you can score
a vendor badge,

everyone will be there.

You can get some good practice
to pitch to a lot of people.

- Well, that's great.
Thank for the tip.

- Now can we stop talking
business for the rest
of the night?

(chuckling)
- Yes, we can.

- Ah-ah, no, after my other
hand, please.

- Okay, for sure.

- Now, tell me about
your love life,

'cause mine's an
absolute nightmare.

(laughing)

- Yes, but is there
anything you can do?

I have to be at that expo.

No, no, no, I completely
understand

but I'm sure once you heard more
about the mechanics of--

Hello?

(sighs)

- Still no luck?

- I don't know what
I'm going to do.

I have put everything
into this prototype.

All of my savings and even moved
in with you because of it.

- You say that like
it's a bad thing.

(sighing)
- It just all feels hopeless.

- Oh dear, Chekov
women don't sulk.

But we do eat.

- I have one week to find
my way into the Beauty Expo

and figure
out my story.

- Oh! You've always been an
amazing story teller.

That's why I kept all those
boxes

with your
grade school essays.

- I think this is going to
be a bigger challenge

than a three-page how-to essay.

- Your writing
really did improve

once we hired that tutor
from down the street.

What was his name, Kevin?
Kyle! Kyle.

- Steve.
- Steve, that's it.

Such a smart boy.

A few months with him

and you were already
writing above grade level.

Oh and he was really
good-looking too.

I never did understand why
you two never hit it off.

- Mom, that's it!

You're a genius!
- I am?

- If I can't get myself
into the Beauty Expo

then I'll hire someone else to
do it for me just like a tutor.

- Honey tutors just don't
write it for you,

they give you
the tools... wait.

Kevin wrote all those essays?
- Steve and yeah.

I'll hire someone
in marketing and PR

to gain access
into the Beauty Expo.

Okay, small independent women
owned beauty business

seeks a marketing professional
who is creative,

passionate and embraces
new challenges.

- You know, those are perfect
for a boyfriend too.

- And there it is.

- Oh... you're not
getting any younger.

- I'm aware but they'll
be time for dating later,

right now I have
work to do.

- Well, I just worry
about you that's all.

- Well, if you really
want to help me,

would you mind if I used
the cafe for the interviews?

- Well, you might as well,

not like there's gonna
be a crowd anyway.

Oh, but you got to help me
with the espresso machine

it's on the fritz again.
- Sounds like a deal mom.

- Don't forget the little one.

- Oh, thank you for
pointing out the obvious.

- You got it.

- Don't worry, I got it.
(Rachel sighing)

(Rachel):
Ooh!

You good?

- I'm tired.
- Oh yeah, you look tired.

(sighing)

- It is so good
to have you here.

- Yeah free manual
labour's great.

- No. No, it's not just that.

You're always jumping
for gig to gig,

you never get a chance
to just hang out.

- Glad it's making you happy.

I don't really know what
to do with myself.

I haven't been between
jobs in years.

- Any leads?

- There's a marketing
director position in London
that I'm up for

but I haven't heard anything
for a couple days, so...

Hopefully, I'll hear
in a few days.

- In London? Does it have to be
on the other side of the world?

I'm just saying,

it would be nice
to have you closer to home.

- I don't have the job yet,

so can we just enjoy the time
I am here, while I'm here.

- Yeah, fine.

Are you sure you don't
want to stay here?

I mean, we have the guest room.

- No, I appreciate the offer
but you know I just--

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know.

You need your space.

Well, while you are here,

we can get a lot done.

Because I still need
to paint the nursery,

assemble the crib,

send thank you notes
from the baby shower

and I'm not sure
when was the last time

we cleaned out
the garbage disposal.

- Where's your husband
in all this?

- Greg is busy saving lives.

- Rachel, he's a podiatrist.

- Exactly,

the feet are the foundation
for our entire bodies.

(scoffs)

- You need more
coffee young lady.

- Oh, Mom, stop.

I've had three cups,
I'm plenty caffeinated.

- Oh, you need to be on
the top of your game.

- And if I have two more sips,
I will be over the top.

Mother, I love you.
- But leave you alone?

- Yes, even just for
the interviews.

- Okay, good luck, sweetie.

Just remember even though they
may not be a match for the job,

maybe one of them
will be a match for you.

- Well, I'm interviewing
for a business partner

and not a boyfriend.

- Well, either way I'm gonna do
background checks on them, okay?

- I have a speeding ticket or
two

when you run
that background check.

- If you don't date him, I will.

- That's my serious look
but I do comedy too.

Knock, knock.

You do realize you're applying
for a marketing position, right?

- Honestly, I just go
where my agent tells me.

- Well, you should
probably get a new agent.

- Do you want me to take my
shirt off now?

- No.
- Yes.

- Okay, thank you.

- Cute.
- Mom!

- He was.

(sighs)

- That one's a no.

- Unfortunately, I don't
think it's going to be a fit

but I truly wish you
the best of luck

in your essential oils business.

- Namaste.
- Oh. Namaste.

- May you go in light and love.

- Okay.
- Namaste.

- Thank you.

(Rachel): Why are you
so dressed up?

- I can't look nice
for my sister?

- Okay, we're going
baby shopping,

it's more of a mom jeans and
spit up stain sweater crowd.

- Hey can we stop at Chai-town
Roasters on the way?

I have a thing
I want to take care of.

- Shut up! I love that place.

What... how do you even
know about that spot?

- I looked it up online
yesterday.

- You know, it's
a little disorganized

but their regular
black coffee, oh, it's so good.

You know, I haven't had
caffeine in six months?

I would love nothing more than
to watch you drink a cup.

- That's not weird.

(sighs)

- Well?

- Let's just say I won't be
moving out any time soon.

- Great.
(phone ringing)

- Go ahead, take it.
- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I have
one more interviewer
but he'll be here shortly.

- Hello?
- Aloha!

How's my favourite employee?

- I'm your only employee Derek.

The espresso machine
is on the fritz again.

If we don't invest in a new one,

we might as well
close down the cafe.

- You're right.
- I am?

- I'm opening a smoothie shack
here, I'm selling the cafe!

- What?
- Hey! Did you get my gift?

- Gift? What a farewell gift?

(sighing)

Derek, I really think...

(beeping)

- Ah! Jeez, you scared me.
(chuckling)

- I didn't see you back there.
Nice to see you again.

- Again?

- We met at Carl's shop
yesterday.

- Oh, you're the pushy guy.

- And you're--
- Still uninterested.

Wow, what a small world can I
get you something to drink?

- I'm not here for coffee.

- You're not?

- I'm here for the interview.

- You're Ryan Johnson?

- And you're Katya Chekov.

I got your name after all.

- Ah, well, as much as I'd love
to continue this awkward moment,

unfortunately the position
has already been filled.

- Oh, what are
you talking about?

You said that all the earlier
interviews were a failure.

- Well, that's great news.
Guess we're still on then.

- Fine, the interview
starts now.

Follow me.

So, have you ever worked
in the beauty industry?

- I started an agency and our
clients ran the full gamut,

beauty, health, food.

- So, you don't have any real
expertise in beauty then?

- Wouldn't say that,
I've done my research.

- Okay, well, what are the top
three beauty brands

based in Chicago?

- Beauty Labs, Bee-Eve
and a men's grooming company

called 'Stache Stash.

- What you would you set as a
market value

for a machine
like Phenomenails?

- I don't really know
how to answer that.

Your product
is set to revolutionize
the manicure industry

so, it's hard to put
a number on that.

- I thought you kids
could use a drink.

- Thank you. My sister's been
raving about your brew.

- Oh! She has?

- But she's pregnant so she
hasn't had a cup for a while.

- Oh, pregnant, how exciting!

And how about you, you
planning on having children?

- Mom!

- Well, can't I ask
a few questions?

- Technically, that last one is
illegal during a job interview.

- And he's a legal
expert as well!

- I've been told I'm too
focused on the mechanics

of Phenomenails
and not the story.

So, let's say I have a pitch
meeting with

I don't know... Beauty Labs.

How should I sell
my story?

- What's your typical rush hour?

Early morning commuter,
afternoon?

- Oh, um, we're pretty
quiet all day.

I mean we have our regulars
and they're really loyal

but not a lot of foot traffic.

- What's your best-selling
drink?

- My standard,
hot coffee, black.

- Wow. That's amazing.

But I didn't see it
on the menu inside,

it was just a bunch of
mocha drinks and espressos.

- The owner Derek thinks the
kids just want these cold drinks

with all the syrup and foam.

- That's fine,
but they're not your market.

And even if they were,
how do you expect them
to find the place?

There was no real
signage out front.

You have an amazing product,
a classic regular cup of coffee.

Embrace and get
your name out there.

- I said the same thing to Derek

and I just can't get
anywhere with him, though.

- Maybe you should
be your own boss,
like your impressive daughter.

(laughs)

- How does any of this
apply to my question?

- You asked me about your story.

First, we need to figure out
who your customers are,
what's the market?

What's the lifestyle you're
trying to sell to people?

And how can you as an owner
reflect that dream back at them?

How do you get
your name out there?

- Well, how do I
find my customers?

Especially if I only have
the prototype right now.

- Get out there,
do some field research.

Beauty Expo's next week,

it's a perfect place
to practice your pitch.

- How do you know about
the Beauty Expo?

- I told you, I do my research.

- Well, it's completely sold out
so how would you get us in?

- It would take me one,
maybe two phone calls.

- Why do you
really want this job?

- I'll level with you.

I'm up for this
new gig in London

and it's neck and neck
between me and one other person.

- And how does Phenomenails
fit into that?

- Company was started
with a female inventor
out of her garage.

With a product like
yours in my portfolio,

I can show them that
I understand their roots.

This is a win-win for you.

It's in my best interest to do
an amazing job

and if I look good
so does Phenomenails.

- Refill?

- Yes, please.

- You're hired.
- Thank you.

Not gonna regret this.
- Oh! Here.

Oh, congratulations.

- Oh, yes.

- I need two minutes alone,
just two full minutes.

- She's a hugger.
- Yeah.

- You can't do in a job
interview either.

- I know.

- Chamomile tea?
Caffeine free.

- Oh, finally!
What took you so long?

- Well, I wasn't
just grabbing coffee.

I had a job interview
and they hired me.

- Sorry, as a barista?

- No, no.

I, uh... it's for a new project
and I think it's gonna put me
over the edge for London.

- Ugh, really?
I mean, why would you do that?

We never get to spend
any time together

and we still have to
paint the nursery--

- We talked about this.
We talked about this.

I need something to keep me
centred.

- Fine.

- Ow!
- Yeah, well...

I guess I understand

but can you at least just try

to make a little time
for me, please.

- Of course,
I still have all of today.

I don't start until
tomorrow morning.

- Oh, wow, all
the things we could do.

(chuckling)

- I figure we start
with the basics.

Gravimetric energy density,
micro processing units,

polycarbonate interfacing.

- Right, the basics.
- Hey Carl.

- Oh, hi Katya and hybrid guy?

- Ryan.
- Wait, are you two?

- No.
- No.

- Ryan is helping me market
Phenomenails, it's temporary.

- Oh, you two have at it. I'll
be over here if you need me.

- Thanks again.
- You bet.

- Do you work out of here
all the time?

- Yes, I think we should start
with the cycle life
battery unit.

- And you've known
Carl for a while?

- He and my dad
were good friends.

- We could call him
a mentor of sorts.

You know, girl scientist
learning under the tutelage

of a neighbourhood mechanic.

- You could just say scientist.
- Right.

- And what are you
on about anyway?

Are you here to talk about
me or my machine?

- Both. We already know
the machine's impressive.

- Thank you.

- I don't really care how it
works, just that it's unlike
anything else on the market.

- I've been told I
need more than that.

- Exactly, we know the machine
is unique,

now we need to figure out
your unique story.

Kid genius, girl next door,
rags to riches.

- Why can't I just be me?
- You can.

You can be the version
of you that sells.

- Marketing is all about being
personal and authentic

but also easily digestible.

(phone ringing)

- Sorry one sec.

- Mom, I can't talk right now,
I'm in a business meeting.

- Honey, it's an emergency.

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine, I'm fine.

It's just the espresso machine
is on the fritz again.

- I can be by later, it's just
I'm busy right now.

- Normally I could wait but I've
actually got customers waiting.

- You do?

- Yes, I took Ryan's advice
and I put a sign out front

and it's actually working.

I can really use your help.

- I'll be there
as soon as I can.

- Oh, thank you, thank you.

Oh, it's hot and it's good.

Thanks.

- Um, my Mom needs help
with something at the cafe,

so we'll have to reschedule
this for later.

- Nonsense,
I'll come with you.

- You really don't
have to do that.

- I'm happy to.

Besides I can get another cup
of that amazing coffee.

- You guy's going to Mila's?
- Yeah.

- I'll drive you there.
- Are you sure?

- Absolutely.
No trouble at all, come on.

- Hey, Mom.
- Oh, Katya! Ryan!

Oh, hello Carl.
- Mila.

- I haven't seen this many
people in here in a long time.

- I know, six customers at once.

Did you notice
the sign out front?

- I did.

- I took Ryan's advice
and it's paying off.

- See at least your mom
takes my business advice.

- Oh, I hear you got
a machine on the fritz.

- Oh... It's doing that thing
again with the... the stuff.

- Is that what the manual says?
- Oh, you know what I mean.

Oh and I also have
a delivery out back,

I'd really like some
help moving it inside.

- I can do that.
- No, I'll get it.

- Oh, well, your back!

- Nonsense, Katya's got this

and Ryan can help her
if she needs help.

- Ryan can help, yes,
now that's a good idea.

- Yeah, I can help.

- Okay, so... how can I help?

- You can start by
not getting in the way.

- Sounds simple enough.

- Philips?

- That's the one with the...

- Pointed edges
that make a cross.

- Cross, right...

- Screwdriver.

- Could've just said that.
- Mhm.

- You've always been so handy?

- Ah, no, my dad taught me.

- What does he do?

- He was a mechanical engineer
but he passed when I was a kid.

- I'm sorry.

- It was a long time ago.
- Were you close?

- Are you actually interested

or are you just trying to find
another angle for my sob story?

- I'm actually interested.

- Because my dad's off limits,

I don't want to use him
for the pitch.

- I understand.

Tell me about him.

- Well, he was smart

and funny and so creative.

He always made little machines

to do odd chores
around the house.

- Sounds great.

- Yeah and um...

I just wanted
to be just like him.

So I decided to make
the perfect doll.

I took pieces from other dolls

and the mechanics from
a remote control car.

- How did that go?

- Oh, she was fully robotic,

but she looked like
Frankenstein's monster.

(laughing)

But my dad just told me

how proud he was
that I had tried

and that I did it all on my own.

- Sounds like
a really great guy.

- Yeah, he was.

- Oh!

(laughing)

It's bad, isn't it?

That's what I get
for wearing designer.

(laughing)

- Wait, you're serious?
- Yeah.

- What happened?
Oh, quick, take that off.

- No, it's fine.
I'll take it to the cleaners.

- No, trust me that has
to go underwater right away.

- It's fine.
- It's designer.

- Ryan, this is a laundry
emergency,

take that shirt off
immediately.

- Okay.

(clears throat)

- Don't you have to get that
underwater right away?

- Um... yes, right away.

- Do you want a coffee?

- Uh... machine.

- You know, this might be
a new look for you.

I think it's really going
to impress in London.

- Have your laughs.

- It's not designer but
I think it really works.

- I have only ever seen you in
some version of overalls, okay?

I don't think I should take
fashion advice from you.

So, maybe we should
give you a make over.

Follow me.

- What?
- Come on.

- Ryan?
- We got places to be, let's go!

Look at them, really look.

The hair, the makeup,
the outfits.

These women put time and money
into their appearance.

- And?

- Wearing overalls.
- Uh, they are practical.

- Yes and they go with
your quirky inventor vibe.

- Did you just bring me
here to insult me?

- I mean it, it is endearing.

But you need to be aspirational
for your customer base.

Look at me.

The only people who would aspire
to be right now

are Jimmy Buffet fans
and early retirees.

(chuckling)

- Yeah, you do look
pretty ridiculous.

- Exactly. Please, please,
this is a good idea, just try.

- Okay, fine.

We can do the makeover.

- Yes! Oh...

(laughing)

- That didn't sound too good.

- I think I ripped
your mom's shirt.

- Well, she'll consider it
a favour, trust me.

Wow.
(Ryan): Nice, right?

(Katya): Um, it looks expensive.

- Oh, it is.

- I put all my money
into my machine, so.

- Relax, my sister
knows the owner.

- Does that mean a friends
and family discount?
-

- Exactly.
- Okay...

- Paige.
- Katya, hi.

- Hi.

- You are gonna look
great in everything.

- Thank you. I have to be
honest,

I'm not the biggest shopper
and I'm kind of dreading this.

- Today is all about fun.

And you must be Ryan.
- That is me.

- Your sister didn't tell me
you were so handsome.

- She always leaves
that part out.

- Your shirt
is completely ripped

and we need to get you
something new right now.

- Thank you, yes please.

Okay, so... not the--

- This colour's really
not working for you.

- It's just not working?
- No, no.

Maybe this actually would be
really great for you.

- Oh, much better colour.
Thank you.

- Um, anyways, so
I've pulled some options.

Day wear, nightwear,
formal, casual.

When you think about your own
feminine power,

what comes to mind?

- I'm not sure how
to answer that.

- Perfect, we'll
try it all then.

- Okay, why don't we
start with this?

- Oh, wow, great.

- Oh, and these shoes,
definitely.

- Awesome, thank you.

- Alright, done with this one.
- Next.

- Ready?
- Yes please.

(upbeat music)

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

(chuckling)

- Thank you.

- Okay, next one.

Wow!

(stifled laugh)

Get back in there, come on.

(Katya): I'm ready.

- Well, this was your idea, so,

what do you think?

- You look stunning, really.

- Are you sure
it's not too much?

- You're perfect.

- Well, it's not very practical.

- No, not like overalls.
- No.

(laughs)

(phone ringing)

Sorry.

It's Daria.

- Beauty Labs?
- Yeah!

- Answer it!
- Hi, Daria.

No, I'm not busy, I'm just...
I'm doing some shopping.

- Jealous.

I've had a crazy week at work,

I've barely been able
to get my five-mile runs in.

- Five miles, like all at once?

- Guess what? I've been getting
so many compliments

on my nails all week.

- Well, that's great.

- And it would be greater,
more great?

Whatever, it would be nice if I
can tell everyone

they'll be able to see your
pitch at the Beauty Expo.

Have you been able to
get a vendor pass?

- Um, well not yet.
- Oh.

- But I am working on it,
I hired a marketing consultant

to help clarify my
vision like you said.

- This, is amazing.

- Yeah, it's been
surprisingly helpful.

- This salad is amazing.

Mm, have you ever had the salad
from Doc B's on the north side?

- Um, no, I haven't.

- Oh, you got to try it.

Oh, sorry, you were saying
something about marketing.

- I hired a marketing consultant
to help clarify my vision.

- Mm, that's smart.

I'm impressed, Katya. You've
been really showing initiative.

- Well, thank you.

- So hopefully I'll see you
and this consultant at the Expo.

Our entire executives
are gonna be there

and are interested in
hearing your pitch, no pressure.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, no pressure.

Uh, but hey, Daria do you think
that--

(dial tone)
Oh, she hung up.

Okay.

(both laugh)

(♪♪)

- So, how'd it go?

- Well, they said if we can
make it into the Expo

the executives of the Beauty
Labs are very interested

in hearing my pitch.

- We're gonna sell this.

- Yes, but we have to make it
into the Expo first.

- I was gonna wait
and surprise you later.

- What?
- We're in.

I got confirmation this morning,

Phenomenails officially
has a vendor's pass.

- We do?
- We do.

- We're gonna sell this!
- We're gonna sell this!

(clears throat)

- Okay, so we have the passes,
we have the outfits.

Now we just need to
perfect your pitch.

- And how are we
going to do that?

- Practice.

- That's nice.

- Wow! You look very nice.
- Oh no, is it too formal?

- No, it looks great, really.

Okay, welcome to
your first test.

Paige is a regular so she was
able to get us a booth.

- Oh! Just be careful with that,
that cost me my apartment.

- Noted.

So, today is about getting you
in front of a crowd.

- Great, I made flash cards.
- Flash cards?

- Yeah, so I don't forget
anything important.

I get very nervous
speaking publicly.

- Can I see those?
- Sure.

Oh! What are you doing?

- Katya, did Steve Jobs
ever use flash cards?

- No, but--

- Cards make you
look unprepared.

Revolutionaries don't use cards,
you should be comfortable

in yourself and in
front of a crowd.

- But I'll be comfortable
once I'm out of these heels.

- It's the perfect time
to practice, ready?

You look the part, now be it.

Ladies, ladies, ladies!

Who would like to come and hear

about the new revolutionary
beauty product Phenomenails?

Okay!

Katya.

Katya, Katya.

- Uh... yeah.

Well, um... the... the machine
is incredible,

it has a state-of-the-art
microprocessor

which is great, right?

Yeah, no, it is!

And um... what's so amazing is
the battery life

lasts so much longer than
something of its size and power

Which... Oh! Oh and um... um...

The white polycarbonate shell,
it houses the nano cameras

which it makes very durable,
extremely durable, um...

Oh, but there's so much
more to say...

- Okay, what did we learn?

- That I need my flash cards.

I forgot half of
the technical specs.

- You forgot to tell them what
the machine actually does,

which is way worse.

- Oh... that I did forget.

- It's okay, we have all day
to get this right.

(sighing)
- Okay.

- Come on over.

- Phenomenails is your one-stop
shop

when it comes to
a fresh manicure.

- Smile.

- No more lines at the salon,

easy to use, affordable
and state-of-the-art,

have a look for yourself.

(whispers) You're doing great,
they're loving it.

- I feel like I'm selling
vacuums on an infomercial.

I just don't feel like myself.
- It's 'cause you're better.

Trust me, it's working.

- I was never great
at the beauty stuff

but I loved
building machines.

So, I basically made this
to do my nails

because I can't do them myself.

(camera shutters)

Thank you so much for coming,

I really appreciate it and I
hope you have a great day.

- Bye.
- Take care.

(sighs)

- If I had a trophy
for most improved,
I'd give it to you on the spot.

- You know, I'm still mad that
you tore up my flash cards.

- Oh, take it out of my
pay cheque, boss.

(laughing)

Mom, how did you know
where we were?

- Oh, a mother always knows.

And I turned on location sharing
on your phones last week.

- You know if the cafe doesn't
work out

I think you have a
future in the CIA.

- You know, I'm not entirely
sure that she's not already
working for them.

- Anyway, I brought coffee.

You've been working all day,
take a break.

- I'm fine and I know
that you're--

- No, your mom is right, we've
been at this for a while.

- Why don't you two walk around
and I'll watch the table?

This park is so romantic.
- Mom.

- No, I'm just saying that
later the lights are nice,

not for you, just for anybody,
for everybody in general.

- Alright, thanks Mom. Goodbye.

- Have a nice time!
Tootle loo!

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Oh.
- Wow.

- If I don't hear this
immediately, I might scream.

- I think we have to.
(gasping)

Oh... okay, "Why Not?"
and "Boogie".

- My favourite song.
- "Do you feel me?"

- Second favourite song.
- And "Let's party tonight".

- Oh, that's my top ten.

(chuckling)
- There we go.

(folk music)

- It was nice your mom
came to support you.

- Yeah, she can be a bit
much sometimes.

- At least you know she cares.

- In a lot of the wrong ways.

- I'm a little jealous.
- Really?

- Yeah, my family doesn't have
that kind of relationship.

- Well, what are
your parents like?

- They're both military so hard
to get a read on them.

I think they like me,
hard to tell, though.

- I'm sure they do.
- Yeah?

- Yeah. What's not to like?

So, you probably should've
invited your sister today.

- Why?

- Well, if you want to be
closer to your family.

- Huh.
Never really thought of that.

- Wait, is Ryan Johnson
actually admitting

he doesn't know absolutely
everything in the entire world?

- Okay, take it easy.

I'm still a bona fide
marketing genius.

- Oh, sure, sure.

- Yeah, maybe you're right.

- I'll bring her by the cafe
tomorrow, introduce you guys.

- Yeah.

(people cheering)

Okay, what is happening
right now?

- It's a silent disco.
- What?

- You worked hard today, I think
you've earned a bit of fun.

- Okay.
- Trust me.

(laughing)

- So, you put these on.
- Okay.

- And you dance.
- What?

- You dance.

- For your next job?

- Hopefully.

(buzzing)

- Hello.
- Um, hi.

- I caught a bit of
your earlier presentation

and I have to say I'm incredibly
impressed by your work.

Especially your work with
gravimetric energy density.

- Well, you should've
stuck around because
it got much better.

- No, it was great.

That's why I came back
to your table.

- You did?

- A very nice woman told me to
where to find you

and that both you and your
machine were available.

- She did what?
- No, it was great.

And I was hoping
that was the case.

I'm Paul, I'm in acquisitions
with Bee-Eve.

We love innovation

and like I said your machine
really caught my eye.

- I'm Katya.

- Well, Katya, love for you to
come by our labs.

Maybe I can give you a tour
tomorrow, what do you say?

- That would be amazing.
- Great.

- Great.
- See you then.

- I will see you then.

♪ Heaven on the dance floor ♪

- Absolutely, I am so
excited to join the team

and I'm really glad you enjoyed
my work Phenomenails.

Um... about that.

I'm just wondering if there's
any wiggle room

with my start date,
could I just push it back

just maybe one week?

Thank you, thank you, yeah.

I um... Just need
a little more time here.

Yeah.

Yeah, you could say I found
my passion project.

Ooh.

♪ Heaven on the dance floor ♪

♪ I gotta dance some more ♪

(Rachel): This is going
to be so fun.

Just like when we were kids.

- It's just for a few days,
the hotel couldn't
extend my reservation.

- And why did you decide
to stick around?

Because you were so adamant
about your timeline.

- How about you be excited that
I'm staying like you wanted, ok?

- I wonder if it has anything to
do with your new boss.

(air pump)

- It's strictly business, okay.
- What was that, Ryan?

You've never met
anyone like her?

- No, it is... I said...
that's it. I'm going home.

Thank you, see you later.
- No, no, no, no.

I'm done, I'm done.
- Yeah?

- Yes.
- Okay.

- I just think that I should be
introduced to Katya

so that I can see why
you're so invested in her.

Invention! Why you're
so invested in her invention?

- I'm sorry... I can't hear
anything you're saying,
the thing is going and it's--

- So happy you could come.

- Well, how could I
turn down an invitation

from one of the best
beauty companies in Chicago?

- Here I thought it was my
winning personality.

(laughing) Should
we take the tour? This way.

- Thank you.

Wow, this is amazing.

- I thought you might like it,
follow me.

I meant what I said last night,
your machine really impressed me

and I thought you were
very informative.

- I was very nervous

and just talking about
the technical specs.

I'm not a very
strong public speaker

and the only reason we were
doing that yesterday

was to practice

because I will be presenting
at the Beauty Expo this week.

- Well, I happen to think you're
a wonderful speaker

and my opinion, I think the
Expo's a bit of a waste of time.

- Really?

- Why jump through
all those hoops?

You said it yourself you hate
public speaking.

- I have to sell Phenomenails

and I think presenting my vision
and brand at the Expo

is my best chance
at doing that.

- Or I could put in
a good word for you here.

I'm quite certain that Bee-Eve

would be interested in acquiring
Phenomenails.

- Seriously?
- Some of like tech specs.

What do you say?

- That's a very generous offer
but I think talk to Ryan first.

- Ryan?

- He's my consultant
I hired for the Expo.

- Ah, gotcha.

Well, why don't you talk to him

and tell me what he says
over dinner tonight?

- Dinner?

- I know this great spot,
I'll text you the details.

- Oh great, I'll give
you my number.

- Actually, your mother
gave to me already

last night when
I came looking for you.

She was really smooth
about it, though.

You should bring her tonight,
I owe her for the introduction.

Well, knowing my mother she
probably already knows about it.

(chuckling)

(Ryan): I'll tell you what, I'll
wash the dishes I get dirty.

(Rachel): No, you'll wash
the dishes I tell you to wash.

- Oh, look who decided
to finally show up.

What did I wear you out on
the dance floor yesterday?

- Ok, I say this with only love,
don't ever do that again, no.

- Well, I thought it
was pretty good.

- Thank you.
- Well...

- Katya, I am so pleased
to meet you.

I'm Ryan's sister, Rachel.

- It is so lovely to meet you.

I'm sorry, I just had a really
productive business meeting
and that's why I'm late.

- Business meeting, do tell.

- You know what?

Why don't I take
your lovely sister

and give her
a manicure instead?

- Oh... I'm sorry Ry,
looks like I'm up first.

- What?

- Don't look at me.

Look, why don't you make
yourself useful

and give that gentleman
a fresh cup of coffee.

Go on, go on.

- Why?

- This machine,
it looks incredible.

You know, Ryan really undersold
how small this thing is.

- Well, thank you.

Now keep it nice and still
and let the machine do the rest.

(sighing) - I need to savour
every minute of this.

You know, when the baby comes

I'm not going to have
a minute to myself.

- Well, that's what Uncle Ryan
is for, right?

Free baby-sitting.
(chuckling)

- Yeah, we'll I'm not sure
how that's going to work.

Now he's for sure moving to
London.

- Oh, he got the job.

- Last night.
He didn't tell you?

- I'm sure he was going to.

- Okay, you can take
out your hand now.

- Ah! Amazing.

Well, now I have two things
to thank you for.

- Two?
- The manicure and Ryan.

'Cause ever since he started
working with you

he's been...
different.

- You don't have to
thank me for that.

- No, I do.

I was worried he was going to
use this job as an excuse

to keep his distance but he has
been the complete opposite.

You've been good for him.

Well, don't tell him I said this

but I don't know what
I'd be doing without him.

What Phenomenails would be doing
without him.

- Right.

You two are lucky to have found
each other.

- Why I don't I get us some
tea while you finish up?

- Oh, that sounds great.
- Okay.

Okay, I'll be back.

Mom, do you mind grabbing me
some tea, please?

- Two?
- Yes, thank you.

Are you working for
my mother now too?

- I thought my father
was a drill sergeant,

he has nothing on Mila.

So, tell me about
this business meeting?

- Well, I was approached
by an executive at Bee-Eve

and he loved Phenomenails.

- Really?

- Yeah, he gave me a tour of
the facility and it was amazing.

Paul, that's
the executive's name,

he thinks that Bee-Eve
would buy Phenomenails.

- He told you this?

- Why do you sound so shocked?

- Well, that's just...
That's just really fast.

- You wanted to work with me
after bumping into me
for like three minutes.

- That's cause you weren't
susceptible to my charms

and I love a challenge.

- Hm, you call that charm?
- Maybe.

- Hm...
Are you even listening to me?

He thinks that Bee-Eve
would buy Phenomenails,

I thought you'd be
ecstatic.

- I am, I'm super excited
but what's the catch?

- Catch? There is no catch.

- There's always a catch,
trust me.

- Well, Paul seems to think that

the Expo would be
a waste of time.

- He doesn't want us
to do the Expo

because he doesn't
want competition.

- If the offer's good,
why does it matter?

I'm dreading the presentation
anyway.

- Katya, I'm so happy that
Bee-Eve is showing interest

but you don't want to put
all your eggs in one basket.

- But I--
- You were great yesterday.

And you're going to
be amazing at the Expo.

The more options you
have the better, right?

- I guess.

- How 'bout this, why don't we
set up a call with this Paul guy

and we'll talk it out.

- I'll actually be seeing him
tonight, so I'll tell him.

- Tonight?

- Yeah, he asked me
out for dinner.

The one you gave
my number to, Mom.

- I just thought it
was business related.

(chuckling)

He's very charming
and very handsome.

- Good to know.

- Well, I'd invite you.

- I have plans anyway.

Paige and I,
we're gonna get dinner.

- Great.
- Great.

(phone dialling)

- Hey Paige, it's Ryan.

Are you free
for dinner tonight?

- They're clueless.
That's enough.

Yeah, the guy doesn't know

the difference between
fuchsia and magenta.

- This place is so nice.
(Paul): Gotta go.

- Paul picked it.

- Good thing I have my
good points.
- Good thing!

- So glad you two could join me.

- So glad to be here.

- Right this way.

- Thank you.
- You look lovely.

- Thank you.

- Oh, here?

- I took the initiative
and ordered already.

- Oh, you did?

- I come here a lot but if
there's something you don't like

we'll send it back.

- This is all so new for us.

- But very nice.

- Well, when your daughter's
a household name,

you'll be doing
this every night.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

(soft jazz)

- Boo!

I'm so sorry I'm late.
- It's fine.

- There was an
emergency at the store.

- Oh no, what happened?

- This woman was trying on a
designer dress

and it completely clashed
with the colour of her hair.

- Right...

Thank you.

- Um, I'd like steamed
vegetables, no oil, no butter,

no garlic and a mineral water,
cold but no ice, thank you.

- I'll just need a minute.
- Thanks.

Already knew what you wanted.

Uh...

(phone ringing)

- Ah, so sorry,
I have to take this.

- Yeah.

- I think this thing's
still alive.

- Mom, be nice.
- I am being nice.

When are you going to tell
Mr. Executive

that you're keeping
your options open?

Katya, what about all the things
Ryan said to you?

- What about it?

Why would I drop a perfectly
good opportunity

that's right
in front of me?

- Ryan only wants
what's best for you.

- Does he? He didn't even
tell me that he got
the job in London.

Rachel told me.

- Well, he obviously
has a good reason.

- Or he's gonna leave
as soon as he can

and I'll be left here
with nothing.

- Calls, calls, calls.
I can't catch a break.

- Is everything okay?

- Absolutely, I just needed
to remind my assistant

to pick up
my suit at the cleaners.

There's this VIP garden party
right before the Expo.

All the big players in town
get together to kick it off.

- VIP, wow.
- Yeah.

It always turns into
a bit of a schmooze fest.

- Oh.

- Actually...

It might be a great networking
opportunity for you

and you would get
to meet my team.

You want to be my plus-one?

- Really?
- Absolutely.

If we're gonna be
in business together,

we need to know what Bee-Eve
connections can get you.

- I would love that.

- Great.

- Well, bon appetit.

- I'm just ready to travel,
get out of Chicago.

I want to see fashion week
in person, in Milan.

That's what I like about you,
you're constantly on the go.

- Rachel seems to think
I should settle down.

- Some people can't
be tied down,

you just gotta go with
the flow like wild horses.

- I guess.

- Ryan, can I ask you something?

- Yeah, of course.

- Can I take a picture of
your plate for my socials?

- Yeah... Uh, sure.

Um... There.

(camera shutter)

- Oh, perfect.

- Awesome.

Does look good.

(laughing)

- This was absolutely lovely.
- Unbelievable.

- Thank you.

Oof, and I'm so full.

- Well, I had a really
nice time with you.

- Me too.

- I'll see you in two days
at the kick-off, Ms. VIP.

- I can't wait.

- See you then.
- See you then.

- I'm starving,
you want a burger?

- Yes, let's go.

- What do you think, the dress
or the blouse and pants?

- The... dress.

You'll look great and you don't
want anything with pockets.

- What do you have
against pockets?

- You'll be tempted to
put your hands in them.

We're trying to sell a
manicure machine,

your hands need
to be front and centre.

- Oh, you know what would put my
hands nice front and centre?

- No.
- Flashcards!

- No, flash cards.
- Flashcards!

(sighs)

- Okay, let's go over
your pitch for the Expo.

- Phenomenails
is your one-stop shop.

(clears throat)

- You're gonna need to be
standing.

Great, from the top.

- Phenomenails is your stop shop

when it comes to
a fresh manicure.

Forget about the lines
at the salon,

it's easy to use,
affordable.

In fact, it's so easy
a baby can use it.

Your baby can use this easy
affordable machine

that super easy
and affordable.

- Ha, ha, ha, very funny.

- Why are we doing this?

- You said it yourself, you need
practice public speaking.

- But none of this feels
like me, the presentation,
the clothes.

- You saw what happened
at the street market.

This works, those women got
Phenomenails to trend online.

- Well, Paul liked
the tech talk and so do I.

- Paul is--

- I know you think that he has
some ulterior motive but you
don't even know him.

Why don't you meet him
and find out for yourself?

We're going to
the VIP garden party

and I'll ask for
an extra ticket.

- Third wheel another date?
No, thank you.

- It's networking
and I'll ask for a plus-one

and you can bring Paige.

- Uh... I don't know, it just...

- Ryan, you're coming.

(sighing)

- What does she see in this guy?

- He's a sure thing.

My daughter likes stability.

- No kidding.

(laughing)

- Paul seems to be all in.

He's going to be here next and
not half way across the world.

He's promising her a future
and sticking around.

(Katya laughing)

(Katya): Okay, thank you.

Okay, Paul took care of it.
- Great.

- It is a pretty fancy party

so I'm sure you have a summer
tux lying around somewhere.

- Oh, I got something nice.

- Of course you do.

(Katya): Well,
you clean up nice.

(upbeat music)

- Wow!

You look...

I'm so good at my job.

- Okay, well I had something to
do with this too.

- You're right, you're right,
you're right.

You did a very good job

at putting on the clothes
I picked out for you.

You look great.

- So do you.

So, where's your plus-one?

Paige is running
a little behind.

- Oh.
- Where's Paul?

- He's already inside.
- Punctual.

- Very.

- Shall we?
- Shall we?

(laughing)

- Be nice to Paul, okay?
- I'm always nice.

- I'm serious, this could be a
really good opportunity

for the both of us.

- We'll see about that.
- I am nervous, okay?

I don't want to have to worry
about you too.

- Come on, you're
gonna be great.

This is...

- This is really nice.
- Wow.

Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

- Cheers.
- Think this is real champagne?

- Well, only if it's from
France.

- France, that must be an easy
trip from London, right?

- Uh, yeah, just a quick train
through the Channel, actually.

- Well, you must be really
excited for the big move then?

- About that--

- You don't have to
explain anything to me,

I knew it was only
temporary when I hired you--

- Hold that thought, you are
about to find out why hiring me

was the best decision
of your life.

- Andrew Swartz, is that you?

- Do I know you?
- He doesn't.

- Ryan Johnson.

I guess I should hope the man
behind the best selling

at home foot spa in America
should remember me.

Can I introduce you,
Katya Chekov?

- Hello, Andrew,
nice to meet you.

- Andrew, I hear you're looking
for the next big thing.

- Always.

- What if I told you I know
where to find it

and it'll bring you a whole new
market of revenue?

- I'd say you have my attention.

- What do you think Katya,
should we tell him about
Phenomenails?

- No?

No.

- I'm so sorry, Andrew, um...

She's one of those
Silicone Valley types.

You know, little temperamental
but a complete genius.

She is pitching tonight,
so hopefully she talks then.

Um... I am really sorry.

- Where is he going?

Why didn't you let me tell
him about Phenomenails?

- Everyone he meets pitches him.

By making him wait,
you'll stand out.

Trust me,
by the end of the party

he'll be asking everyone
asking what Phenomenails is.

- I'm impressed.
- I'm impressive.

- And I immediately regret
saying that.

- Katya.
- Daria, you're here!

- Well, I just did my bench goal

so this little shindig
is my reward.

- Oh, well this is Ryan,
my marketing consultant.

- Oh, well, it seems like you
hired the right person.

I overheard Andrew Swartz asking
about Phenomenails a second ago.

- Andrew and I go way back.

- Impressive.

- Oh, careful,
positive reinforcement

does go straight
to his head.

- Well, then I shouldn't mention
how genius it was

to have Phenomenails
trending online.

- That was a team effort.

- You made it!
- Oh, I did.

- Looks like I brought you
a drink you already have.

- No, I was just holding
it for him, thank you.

- Paul.

- Ryan.

- Very nice to meet you, Ryan.

- Katya has an incredible
machine on her hands.

- That she does.

- Oh, you're not the only
horse in this race, Paul.

- Daria Simmons,
you already know Katya?

And here I was thinking I was
finally getting to show off.

(chuckling)

- Oh, no, no.

I beat you to the punch,
yet again.

Well, I got to make my rounds.
It was great catching up.

And I can't wait to see
you pitch tonight.

The entire Beauty Labs team
is very excited.

- Bye Daria.

- Was that awkward?

- We may be competitors but
tonight we're all friends.

- So, Paul, I hear
that you are inter--

- Oh, friends!
I would like you to meet Katya.

Katya is a wonderful inventor
that you have to meet.

(Indistinct chatter)

He sings karaoke, yeah right.

- There you are.

- Wow, you look amazing.

- Thank you, so do you.
- Thank you.

Clean up pretty good.

- Thank you for inviting me to
this, this is beautiful.

- I'm glad you were able
to make it today.

- You know what?
I would love to get a selfie.

- Let's do it.

- So, you're keeping busy?

- Yeah, it's kind of my brand,
but you get it.

You're always on the go too.
- Yeah.

- This is not working.
You know what?

I'm going to grab some champagne

and I'm going to look for
a better spot, is that okay?

- Uh, yeah, sounds good.

- Keeping tabs on our girl?

(laughing)
- Thank you.

- She can handle herself, I'm
just giving her some space.

- If you care about Phenomenails
or more specifically Katya,

you better
get in there.

- Why do you say that?

- Don't let her be
charmed by this guy.

He's a shark, just like Bee-Eve.

Beauty Labs may not
seem as glamorous

but we care about
the vision of our partners.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

(laughing)

- Look at you,
everyone loves you.

- Well, that's because you're
making all the introductions.

- No, it's that big
beautiful brain of yours.

- Well, thank you.

- You know, I spoke to our CEO
this afternoon

and we spoke about
your machine and yourself.

- Oh, he did?

- He wants to make
an official offer.

- That's incredible.

- It is incredible

and it's an exclusive deal which
means you can't shop it around

which is good

considering you don't want
to pitch tonight anyway.

- Right.

- So?

- Yes.

- Congratulations,
we have a deal.

- Uh, hey, sorry, can I steal
Katya away for a second?

- Sure, but don't
keep her too long.

There's plenty of people in the
Bee-Eve family for her to meet

now that it's official.

- Official?

Hey you uh, mind
telling what's going on?

- Bee-Eve officially offered to
buy Phenomenails

in an exclusive deal.

- What's this?

- The offer, do you
see those zeroes?

It happened!

We did it, all because of Paul,
we sold Phenomenails.

- You didn't sign anything,
did you?

- No, a napkin is hardly
an official contract.

Why aren't you jumping up
and down right now?

- Let's just slow down, I think
we should think about this.

- But what's there
to think about?

We did it, mission accomplished.

- It's a good start

but I think we should look
into Bee-Eve as a partner,

I have some concerns.

- Concerns?
- Yeah.

- Is this about Paul?
- No.

Yes.

- You can't take the first offer
that some guy gives you.

- He's not just some guy.

We are here because of him,

we've met all of these
people because of him.

How do you not see all
the good he's done for us?

- Because there's something
in it for him.

I've seen guys like him
my whole life, okay.

They wine-and-dine you but it is
all for show, he is using you.

- Well, isn't that
what you've been doing?

- Are you kidding me?

- You said it from the start

that you just wanted this
job to pad your resume.

You don't really care about
Phenomenails or about me.

(scoffs)

- Do you know how much time
I put into this?

Working with you on your brand
and your pitch,

helping you polish your tech
gibberish into a real mission.

- My brand?

You've shoved me into
uncomfortable clothes

and make me talk like
a generic health cult leader.

All you've done
is try to change who I am.

- I like who you are!
- Well, you have a funny way of
showing it.

There's no point in auguring.

This was always temporary and
you were always going to leave.

So, just leave.

- I delayed my start date.

- What?

- I was gonna tell you
after the Expo.

I wanted to give this another
shot so I asked for more time.

- I didn't ask you to do that.
- You didn't have to.

I believed in you, Katya.

I did from the beginning.

(Paul): Katya, do you mind
if I steal you away?

There's someone else
I'd like you to meet.

Is everything okay?

- Everything's great, let's go.

It's a party after all.

- There you are,

I found the perfect spot for
a photoshoot back there.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Actually, no.

Um, I'm leaving.

- The party's just
getting started.

I'm going to London.

- Oh, you mean
like leaving, leaving.

- Is everything okay?

- I'm fine.

- Good.

- So we should probably start
talking about

the marketing strategy
for Phenomenails.

- Marketing strategy?

- Yeah, which retails stores
we should sell it to

or talk about
mass production for salons.

- It might be a bit early for
that kind of talk.

- But with Bee-Eve's resources
think how easy it would be

to get Phenomenails
out into the world.

- Katya...

That's not why we
want to buy it.

- What?

- We want your battery.

It's integration
into our existing line

is going to be huge.

We're not going to
manufacture Phenomenails,

I thought you knew that.

- No, I thought...

That's why you pushed me
to skip the Expo.

- I was doing you a favour,
you were dreading presenting.

And to be honest,

you need this deal
more than we do.

- I guess I should've listened
to Ryan, there's always a catch.

Well, we're done, for good.

- Okay, fine, say it.

- Well, you're doing
the same you always do.

You're putting distance
between yourself

and the people that you
care about.

- No, I'm not,
it was just a job.

- Yeah, right.
- It was.

- I'm not judging you.

Okay, look, we had
a weird childhood Ryan,

Mom and Dad were
basically robots

but that is just no
excuse to run away

as soon as things get a
little difficult with Katya.

I mean, think about it.

Hey, hey!

Think about it.

When have you ever gotten this
bent out of shape for a job?

- I don't know, I guess never.

- That's because you care more
about this job

because you like her.

- What are you five?
I don't like her.

- Don't deny it.

- Sure, I think that
she is smart and driven

and yeah I get excited
when I see how happy she gets

when she talks about her
little gadgets and stuff

and I thought that she
looked beautiful today.

- Uh-huh, keep going.

(sighs)

- So, I like her.

- Well, delaying the start date
of your dream job

was a dead giveaway, idiot.

- Do you even want me to stay?

- Hey, I'm not complaining.

We've never been this close.

- Yeah.

It's been nice staying here,
talking to you.

- Yeah, I want us
in each other lives.

- I want that too.

- So, what are you going
to do about Katya?

- I don't know.

I mean, she doesn't want
anything to do with me.

- Well, Ryan you better use that
big old head of yours

and think of something.

Because if you don't,
you'll regret it.

(laughing)

- So bad!

- Mom, Carl?

- Sweetheart!
- What are you doing here?

- Oh, you think I'd miss my
baby girl's big night, huh?

(chuckling)

Is everything okay?

- I'll go grab us some drinks.
- Oh, thank you, Carl.

(sighs)
- I think I messed it all up.

- What happened?

- Well, Ryan was
right about Paul.

Bee-Eve doesn't want to
manufacture Phenomenails at all,

they just want to incorporate
my tech into their machines.

- Aw.

- And I just don't know how
I could've been so stupid.

- Hey, don't call
yourself stupid.

Little naive maybe.

- Mom.

- Look, so this Bee-Eve thing
didn't work out, who cares?

- But it's just not that simple.

I messed everything
up with Ryan.

- Katya Chekov, you cannot keep
stewing in your own sadness.

- What else am I going to do?

- Where's the daughter I raised

who won every single
science fair she ever entered?

Or the young women that got a
full scholarship

to college all on her own?

- I don't know,

I just haven't felt
like myself lately.

- Look at me, Katya.

You did all of those amazing
things on your own.

You don't need Paul or even Ryan
to get what you want.

I mean sure, Ryan has been a
great help

and he's smart as a whip

and it doesn't really hurt
that he's also very handsome.

- Okay, Mom, I think you're
missing the thread of this
pep talk.

- Sorry, you're right,
you're right.

What I meant to say was,

your father and I
raised you to be strong.

So be strong

and be yourself.

- I love you, Mom.

- I love you too, sweetie.

Now, get yourself together

and go pitch
your little heart out.

(chuckling)

- Are you on a date with Carl?

- Strictly business.

- Oh, really?
- Mhm.

- I think you've
said that before.

(laughing)

(clapping)

- Uh... okay.

I'm excited to present...

(Ryan): Katya.

- Ryan?
- I'm here.

What did I say
about flash cards?

- I am so--

- As much as I would love to
hear what you're about to say,
you're about to go on.

Look, I need you to get
everything I told you.

- What?

- You're right.

All I did was try to turn you
into something you're not

and you are the best
at just being yourself.

- It's a little late
for that now.

- No, it's not.

I had some help, but...

I think this is
a little more you.

Go get 'em.

(♪♪)

(clapping)
- Oh!

Hello, hi.

I am very excited to
present this, um...

Advanced mobile
manicure system, um...

It's... well it's called
Phenomenails.

And um...

- Shake it out.

(clapping)

- I'm not very good at this.

It's so much easier
to tinker away in a garage.

Well, at least for me.

I know everything about
the minute details

of programming microprocessors
and nano cameras,

but to tell you about that
would be a whole other story.

Someone very important to me

told me that I shouldn't bombard
people with the machine specs,

and sure enough he was right.

So, I will just show you.

(clapping)

For the longest time it
had just been my Mom and I.

She's the hardest-working person
I have ever known

and so selfless.

She would never take any time
for herself,

so I would watch her
and think

what could do to help
her feel better?

And so I took out my notepad
and I starting sketching.

And that's how
I came up with Phenomenails.

In five minutes, my mom could
have a fresh manicure

and could feel like the best
version of herself,

even if it were
just for a moment.

(crowd cheering)

Everyone deserves to
feel their best,

whether they're
at home or at work

or even just at
the grocery store.

It saves time and money,

it's a win-win for customers
and technicians alike.

There are countless applications
and multiple markets

and it's so small you could even
take it with you

wherever you
want it to go.

Phenomenails is for everyone.

So, who would like to go first?

(clapping)

Come!

You can pick any
colour you'd like.

Um, here, why don't
you put your hand in

and I'll be right back.

Well, what do you think?

- I think it was phenomenal.

- Well, thank you,
I had a great teacher.

- You did.

- So what about London?
Your dream job.

- Turned it down.

Think I might've been
about what my dream job was.

- Is Ryan Johnson finally
admitting that he was wrong?

(chuckling)

I'm impressed.

- I'm impressive.

- Yeah, you are.

- So are you.
