00:00:00Never does. I haven't been here in like five years.
00:00:04Been what, two years for you, right?
00:00:06Yeah, just about.
00:00:18There's my boy!
00:00:20I'm so glad you're home.
00:00:22No, are you kidding? I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:00:24Turn in the big 5-0.
00:00:26Oh, do not remind me. Tom, how are you?
00:00:28Fantastic.
00:00:30Still a sweet bed.
00:01:00Every time I'm in this room, I feel like I'm 16 all over again.
00:01:04Ah, the memories.
00:01:06All the homework.
00:01:08All your dateless Saturdays.
00:01:10Late nights.
00:01:12Playing video games.
00:01:14Used to shout out this window to Claire.
00:01:16We tried sending notes to each other on paper airplanes.
00:01:18Definitely did not work, so we just yelled.
00:01:22Right, Claire.
00:01:24How long has it been since you've seen her?
00:01:26A few years, I guess.
00:01:31Can you help me out and set the table while I finish up dinner?
00:01:34Yeah, hey, Mom, did someone move into the Goodsters' old house?
00:01:36Yeah, Claire did a couple of months ago, just for a little while.
00:01:39Thought I told you.
00:01:41No, I thought that her parents moved out.
00:01:43Well, they did, but you know, her grandmother originally owned the house,
00:01:45and she got really sick, and so Claire moved back to take care of her before she just passed away.
00:01:50I could have sworn I told you.
00:01:52I think I would have remembered.
00:01:54Huh.
00:01:55You know, my mind is actually like a steel trap.
00:01:57If you want me to teach you some things, I can.
00:02:00Saved by the bell.
00:02:02That is probably Claire and Lily right now.
00:02:04I invited them over for dinner.
00:02:05I just thought it would be really fun for you guys to all catch up.
00:02:07Wait, now?
00:02:08Yeah.
00:02:09Can you get it for me, please?
00:02:10Oh, come on.
00:02:20Hey.
00:02:21Henry.
00:02:23Oh, my gosh.
00:02:26Look at you.
00:02:28You're all grown up and a little bit of man stuff.
00:02:31Not really, but yeah, yeah, thank you.
00:02:33Look at you.
00:02:34I'm sorry.
00:02:35Tom.
00:02:36How are you?
00:02:38Welcome home.
00:02:40You guys remember Lily?
00:02:41Yeah.
00:02:42Hello.
00:02:43Hi.
00:02:44It's me, Tom.
00:02:45King.
00:02:46We had half a semester of biology, actually.
00:02:49Wow, you really do have a good memory.
00:02:50I told you, it's a steel trap.
00:02:51And why only half a semester?
00:02:53Well, I got sick when I got my midterm back.
00:02:57Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:02:59You're the guy who threw up and fainted when you failed.
00:03:01He's the one.
00:03:02I am so glad.
00:03:03You girls did good.
00:03:04This worked out perfectly.
00:03:06Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:07Come in, come in, come in.
00:03:09Come on in.
00:03:10I'm the guy that throws up.
00:03:12Oh, Tom.
00:03:14Don't take it personally.
00:03:15Lily doesn't remember a lot of people from high school.
00:03:17She was a little too busy with her face in a book.
00:03:19I'm sorry.
00:03:20I prefer the classics to our classmates.
00:03:21Oh, well, that's my sweet Lil.
00:03:23Always too busy reading the romantics.
00:03:25Hey, Claire.
00:03:26I'm really sorry about your grandmom.
00:03:27My mom just told me.
00:03:28I'm sorry, Claire.
00:03:29Thanks, guys.
00:03:30You're sweet.
00:03:31Remember that time she made us play Cinderella
00:03:32just to clean the kitchen?
00:03:33Yes.
00:03:34You made a beautiful fairy godmother.
00:03:40OK.
00:03:41I want to hear all about your photography, Claire.
00:03:44Wow, you're a photographer now?
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Wow, that's great.
00:03:48Lily, what brought you back to town?
00:03:50Well, I moved back after college.
00:03:52And I now own a boutique flower shop.
00:03:55It's called The Secret Admirer.
00:03:56It's just off Main Street.
00:03:57And it's beautiful.
00:03:58I go there all the time.
00:03:59You really do have the best lilacs in town.
00:04:01Thank you, Mrs. Samson.
00:04:02That's so sweet of you.
00:04:03And she personally writes every love note
00:04:06that everybody wants to send with their flowers.
00:04:09And she is really good.
00:04:11I have to come to dinner here more often.
00:04:13Please just keep showering me in compliments.
00:04:15It's working.
00:04:16Oh, pretty.
00:04:17That's really great.
00:04:18I had no idea you did that.
00:04:19Yeah, well, you know.
00:04:20You might know all this if you bothered to keep in touch.
00:04:24Excuse me?
00:04:25I think you heard me.
00:04:26Last time I checked, friendship was a two-way street.
00:04:29So you're just as much to blame as I am.
00:04:31At least I tried.
00:04:33I even looked you up online and everything.
00:04:35You looked me up?
00:04:37Mm-hmm.
00:04:38Henry meets my dad, right?
00:04:40And we're out in the backyard.
00:04:42Bumblebees everywhere.
00:04:43And he is following me around the garden.
00:04:46Jason, please.
00:04:47I remember your voice.
00:04:49It was a swarm of bees.
00:04:50It wasn't just a bee.
00:04:51It was not a swarm of bees.
00:04:53What tomorrow?
00:04:55He range bombers in flight around the garden.
00:05:13Bye, see you soon.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:16See you soon, ok?
00:05:17Hope so.
00:05:19It is so good to see you again!
00:05:21I'm sorry we lost touch.
00:05:22I don't apologize. I'm the old soul that doesn't use social media.
00:05:25We should get coffee tomorrow morning.
00:05:27I live next door, actually, in case you forgot.
00:05:30Oh, could you write down the address? I have a really bad sense of direction.
00:05:33Oh, Henry.
00:05:35Good night, Henry.
00:05:36Good night.
00:05:37Oh.
00:05:40My goodness.
00:05:41See you tomorrow.
00:05:48What you looking at, man?
00:05:49Tom.
00:05:50Uh.
00:05:52Let's go. We should unpack.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:59You unpack already?
00:06:00Oh, yeah.
00:06:03No way. Come on.
00:06:08Oh, man.
00:06:12Oh, there's Lily.
00:06:15Gosh, she's always been cute, huh?
00:06:18Yeah?
00:06:19Why didn't you ask her out?
00:06:21The class clown and the valedictorian? Like that would have ever worked.
00:06:24But you're employed now.
00:06:26Yeah, you're right.
00:06:28Grown up. Had a good job. I'm a stand-up guy.
00:06:34What is this?
00:06:36I don't know.
00:06:40Dear Claire.
00:06:43Known you for most of my life and in those years of friendship.
00:06:46Don't read that.
00:06:48I remember the first time I saw you. Down to the smallest detail.
00:06:52I remember like it was yesterday. For some strange reason, can't remember when I fell in love with you.
00:06:57Give me that.
00:06:59Dude, this is a love letter to Claire.
00:07:01Yes, it is.
00:07:03Well, I knew you liked her, but I didn't know you felt like this.
00:07:05Why didn't you ever tell me?
00:07:06I never told anyone.
00:07:09Not even Claire.
00:07:10Why do you think you have trouble expressing yourself?
00:07:12I did express myself. That's why I broke it down.
00:07:15Sure you did. In a letter that was never sent.
00:07:17That's not expressing yourself, my man.
00:07:19She was the popular girl in high school. She never would have gone out with me.
00:07:22It's a stupid high school crush.
00:07:25It's probably for the better that I didn't tell her.
00:07:27So let's just forget about it.
00:07:31You still love her.
00:07:32No, I don't. Just whatever. I'm going to bed.
00:07:35It's like 8.30.
00:07:36I'm jet-lagged.
00:07:37It's ridiculous.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:40Whatever.
00:07:42Sleep tight, pumpkin.
00:07:46Hey, Mom.
00:07:47Hey.
00:07:48What are you doing?
00:07:49Oh, I'm just going through all these photos.
00:07:53Look at this.
00:07:56First day of kindergarten.
00:07:57What a handsome young man.
00:07:58Yes, a totally handsome young man.
00:08:00So cute.
00:08:04Look at this of you and Claire.
00:08:05How cute are you two together?
00:08:07Seems like ages ago.
00:08:09It does.
00:08:10Okay, who is that, and what are you wearing?
00:08:12Yeah, I know.
00:08:13This is, well, this is Edith.
00:08:15And this was sort of our sorority signature.
00:08:17We would just wear these crazy hats to parties.
00:08:20And you lost the bet.
00:08:21And I lost the bet. I got the surprise.
00:08:23Exactly.
00:08:24She's in a lot of pictures with you.
00:08:26Yeah, she was my best, dearest friend.
00:08:30What happened?
00:08:31Oh, we just kind of, you know, fell out of touch.
00:08:35Why?
00:08:36I don't know.
00:08:37We just kind of, you know, fell out of touch.
00:08:40Why is that?
00:08:43Well, because of your dad, actually.
00:08:48Edith had dated your dad first.
00:08:51But it wasn't very serious.
00:08:52They had just dated for a couple of weeks.
00:08:53And about six months later,
00:08:57your dad was just so charming and fun and sweet.
00:09:02And we fell in love.
00:09:04And Edith and I got in a big fight about it
00:09:06because she was hurt and she was mad.
00:09:08And I felt so terrible.
00:09:13That's really surprising.
00:09:15Well, why is that surprising?
00:09:16I mean, relationships come and go.
00:09:17They, people change.
00:09:19Oh, no, no, no.
00:09:20That dad had that effect on women.
00:09:22He was charming.
00:09:23And look at him.
00:09:24He was handsome and sexy.
00:09:26Oh, okay.
00:09:27Yeah.
00:09:30You know, these photos are really all I have left of him.
00:09:34And I miss him.
00:09:39I miss him, too.
00:09:43I can't believe this place hasn't changed.
00:09:46It's the same shops, the same people.
00:09:48I know.
00:09:49I love it.
00:09:51I love it.
00:09:52I think this place is so special.
00:09:54It's, you know, a smaller, quieter life.
00:09:56But it feels so much cozier than downtown L.A.
00:10:00Well, maybe you should just enjoy it while you're here.
00:10:02That's true.
00:10:04And it might actually take a while to find a buyer.
00:10:07I still need to get that house in shape.
00:10:09There's a lot of repairs that need to get done on it.
00:10:12I could totally help you out.
00:10:15Oh, that's right.
00:10:17Your mom mentioned you own a construction company.
00:10:19But I wouldn't want you to work on your vacation.
00:10:21Oh, no, no, please.
00:10:22I'd love to help.
00:10:23I don't know.
00:10:24I really don't want you to feel used.
00:10:27Okay, hey, let's do a trade.
00:10:29I will help you out with the house,
00:10:30and you help me out with my mom's part.
00:10:32There's still loads to be done,
00:10:33and I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:10:35Well, I love doing that stuff.
00:10:38So, you have a deal, sir.
00:10:41Oh.
00:10:42It's official.
00:10:43We'll draft a contract after this.
00:10:44Oh, okay.
00:10:50Hey.
00:10:52Hi.
00:10:53How's it going?
00:10:55Just thought I'd come check out the shop.
00:10:57Everybody spoke so highly of it last night.
00:11:00It's really nice.
00:11:03So, what got you into the flower business?
00:11:05Well, when I wasn't reading,
00:11:06I was usually out in the garden with my mom.
00:11:08Most of the time, I'm just helping people
00:11:10find ways to show their loved ones that they care
00:11:12using these bouquets of flowers
00:11:14and also expressive notes.
00:11:17So, this is what you were talking about last night at dinner?
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:20Oh.
00:11:21My first and only love.
00:11:24I wake, filled with thoughts of you,
00:11:26and I ask myself every moment
00:11:28if this happiness is not a dream.
00:11:31Wow.
00:11:32You're a really good writer.
00:11:34The language reminds me
00:11:35of a favorite romantic poet of mine.
00:11:37Oh.
00:11:38Who's that?
00:11:39Lord Brian.
00:11:40Lord Brian.
00:11:41Of course.
00:11:42His work is great.
00:11:43I read it all the time.
00:11:44Then you should probably know
00:11:45that his name is John.
00:11:46John?
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:48Yeah.
00:11:49I read it all the time.
00:11:50Then you should probably know
00:11:51that his name is George Gordon Byron.
00:11:56You got me.
00:11:58I don't know a whole lot about this romance stuff,
00:12:00but I'd like to learn more about it.
00:12:02Maybe you could share some of your favorites with me.
00:12:05Like coffee or something?
00:12:07Maybe tonight?
00:12:08Tonight?
00:12:09Yeah.
00:12:10Well, I will probably be working tonight.
00:12:12I usually like to keep an assortment of cards on hand,
00:12:14and I need to replenish a bit.
00:12:16Maybe I could help you with that.
00:12:17I thought you just said
00:12:18this romance stuff.
00:12:19I could give it a shot.
00:12:20It's a very nice offer,
00:12:22but after a long day of managing the shop,
00:12:24I think I just need to get these done
00:12:26before it gets too late.
00:12:29Yeah.
00:12:31Maybe another time, then.
00:12:34Maybe.
00:12:40So I thought we could walk through the house
00:12:42and make a list of repairs that need to get done.
00:12:44Sounds good.
00:12:45First thing on the list,
00:12:46this door jam needs to be replaced.
00:12:48Hmm.
00:12:49According to this data,
00:12:50you stopped throwing right about here.
00:12:51How hilarious.
00:12:52That's when we stopped measuring.
00:12:53Come on.
00:12:56So this fence needs to be fixed.
00:12:57One of those slats is broken there.
00:13:00Oh, man, didn't you break this when you fell into it?
00:13:02Yep.
00:13:03Yeah, we were playing tag and you tripped.
00:13:04Uh, no.
00:13:05We were playing zombies,
00:13:06and you pushed me.
00:13:08Okay, maybe we should leave the scene of the crime
00:13:09before you injure yourself again.
00:13:11Yeah, before you, you know,
00:13:12get the urge to just push me again.
00:13:14Don't.
00:13:15Don't.
00:13:16Don't.
00:13:17And here is another area of the house
00:13:20that little Henry broke.
00:13:23The front steps.
00:13:25Third grade.
00:13:26Playing tag.
00:13:27Winning tag.
00:13:29Yeah, well, either way...
00:13:37That's all we had to do?
00:13:38Yep.
00:13:40Well, you're certainly earning your keep around here.
00:13:42I'll bill you later.
00:13:43All right, sure.
00:13:45See you later.
00:13:56That is ridiculous.
00:14:15Oh, my God.
00:14:51Thanks so much again for doing this.
00:14:53Of course.
00:14:54You want to get started early tomorrow?
00:14:55Yes, that would be great.
00:14:56Um, I also wanted to talk to you about your mom's party.
00:14:59Uh, I have taken care of the invitations and the catering,
00:15:02so we just need decorations and...
00:15:04Oh, we definitely need more tables and chairs.
00:15:06Okay.
00:15:07Uh, great.
00:15:08What's the theme?
00:15:10Susan's 50th birthday bash.
00:15:12You don't have a theme?
00:15:14Every good party has a theme.
00:15:16Like 80s night or Great Gatsby.
00:15:19Halloween or Fourth of July.
00:15:23Stop.
00:15:24You're just naming the holidays.
00:15:25It's weird.
00:15:26Look, you know what?
00:15:27We need to brainstorm.
00:15:28Uh...
00:15:33You know what?
00:15:34The energy here is no good.
00:15:35We need some place where we can clear our heads.
00:15:37Ah, come with me.
00:15:38Okay.
00:15:39Where are we going?
00:15:40We'll see.
00:15:45Hey.
00:15:47What are you doing here?
00:15:49I thought if you were still working that I could maybe help.
00:15:52You know, with the writing and everything.
00:15:54Really?
00:15:55Um, it did not seem like you're here of expertise.
00:15:58Yeah, well, after I got home, I, uh, came up with some stuff.
00:16:02Oh, did you?
00:16:03Yeah, I mean, I figured you've got all these cards
00:16:05that are supposed to be written by men.
00:16:07I figured you should have something that's actually written
00:16:09from the male perspective.
00:16:11What do you have in mind?
00:16:14I remember the first time I saw you.
00:16:18I remember it like it was yesterday.
00:16:21But for some strange reason,
00:16:24I can't remember when I fell in love with you.
00:16:27It's almost like I've always been in love with you,
00:16:31even before we met.
00:16:33And I was just waiting for you to walk into my life.
00:16:39Those feelings have always been there.
00:16:43They haven't gone away, and I don't think they ever will.
00:16:48You wrote that?
00:16:50Yep. All me.
00:16:55Uh, I guess I'm just a little more romantic than you thought.
00:17:05It's actually pretty late, and I have to be up early in the morning.
00:17:09So...
00:17:10No, I also, I should get going. Also.
00:17:15Good night, Lily.
00:17:17Good night, Tom.
00:17:22We really need to sneak into our high school
00:17:24to come up with party ideas?
00:17:26Yes. It's very peaceful when no one else is around.
00:17:29It can be inspiring.
00:17:31It's inspiring anxiety.
00:17:33Builds character.
00:17:35Start to sweat a little bit.
00:17:36Gross.
00:17:37Yeah, it's...
00:17:38Yes?
00:17:39I didn't go bad. I need my glasses again.
00:17:41Nerd.
00:17:42Let me help.
00:17:43Don't want you tripping and breaking another set of stairs.
00:17:45Ah ha ha.
00:17:47So what? You want to wander the halls and talk of memories past?
00:17:51Memories past? Not exactly my plan here, Jane Austen.
00:17:55No, we need to relax and let the creative juices flow.
00:18:02That's what I do with my photos.
00:18:04I go to a special place and let the inspiration come to me.
00:18:08Remember your old hangout?
00:18:10You remembered.
00:18:14This place hasn't changed a bit.
00:18:16I know, I love it.
00:18:20It's nice knowing that some things never change.
00:18:30You got any ideas yet?
00:18:32Since I've been home, all she's been doing is looking at her photos.
00:18:37Oh.
00:18:38Well then why don't we decorate her place with them?
00:18:42Yeah, we can put them up in the backyard, hang them with some Christmas lights.
00:18:46That sounds awesome.
00:18:48Yeah. Oh, and...
00:18:50And we can even print one out and put it on her cake.
00:18:54That does not sound awesome.
00:18:56You should have stopped there.
00:18:58I know, I know, I know.
00:19:00But see, I told you.
00:19:02This place is perfect for brainstorming.
00:19:06Yeah.
00:19:26Hey, you.
00:19:28Rich! Hi!
00:19:32What are you doing here?
00:19:34I came to surprise you and take you to dinner.
00:19:37That is so sweet.
00:19:39Hello. Oh, hi.
00:19:41Oh, uh, Rich, this is Henry, an old friend and next door neighbor.
00:19:44Henry, this is Rich, my boyfriend.
00:19:46Nice to meet you.
00:19:48Oh, great to meet you as well.
00:19:50Hi.
00:19:51Um, so I should get going.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:54We can meet up tomorrow about the repairs and the party planning?
00:19:56Yeah, sounds good.
00:19:57Alright.
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:59Have a good one.
00:20:01Hi!
00:20:03How was that for a surprise?
00:20:05Great.
00:20:06Completely unexpected.
00:20:08Oh, I am so glad you came here.
00:20:11My meeting was canceled. I wanted to see you.
00:20:13So, I took the drive and here I am.
00:20:16I have missed you.
00:20:18Oh, I've missed you too.
00:20:22How's everything going with the house?
00:20:23Great.
00:20:24Henry actually owns a construction company and has been helping me with the repairs.
00:20:28I know you want to take your time, but...
00:20:32I really got to sell this place so we can finally start our life together.
00:20:35Yeah.
00:20:37I hate long distance. I barely see you.
00:20:39Exactly. I'm just...
00:20:42I'm going to start researching realtors.
00:20:44You don't need to do that.
00:20:45I'm not even ready for a realtor.
00:20:47I'm just trying to help.
00:20:48I can handle this, Rich.
00:20:50You know, it's my family home. It's my responsibility.
00:20:55I'm just taking my time, you know. There are a lot of memories here.
00:21:00Okay. Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
00:21:03I'll stop pushing.
00:21:05Okay.
00:21:06You want to grab some dinner?
00:21:07Sure.
00:21:08Like right now?
00:21:09Yes.
00:21:10Well, come on. I'm hungry.
00:21:11Okay.
00:21:12Let's do this.
00:21:15She has a boyfriend.
00:21:16Who? Claire?
00:21:17Yeah.
00:21:18Wait, what are you doing?
00:21:19Nothing. Just checking work emails.
00:21:20Wait, she's got a boyfriend?
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:23You're right. Just seeing her again has brought back all these, like, old feelings.
00:21:27And we were getting along so well. I mean, I'm an idiot.
00:21:30I thought that I actually had a shot.
00:21:32I'm sorry, man.
00:21:33She never even mentioned him.
00:21:34Why would she?
00:21:35But you never said you had feelings for her, so...
00:21:37If you're in love with somebody, don't you at least mention their name?
00:21:40You've hung out with her, what, a couple of times?
00:21:42I think you need to let this go.
00:21:44You said yourself this is, what, a crush from ten years ago?
00:21:48Yeah, you're probably right.
00:21:49Just give it some time and then you'll get over it, you know?
00:21:51Or you'll find something wrong with her.
00:21:53Like, she doesn't own a TV.
00:21:56You're still upset about that, girl.
00:21:57Who doesn't own a TV?
00:22:00I'm just saying.
00:22:12Um, excuse me, miss.
00:22:13Good morning.
00:22:14Good morning.
00:22:16You are very welcome.
00:22:17I'm so glad you're here right now.
00:22:18I have something to tell you.
00:22:19What's up?
00:22:21So, Tom comes by the shop last night.
00:22:23Really?
00:22:24Yeah.
00:22:25And he wants to help me write my romance cards.
00:22:27Tom?
00:22:28Uh-huh.
00:22:29He was great.
00:22:30Like, really good.
00:22:32Romantic and sentimental and poignant.
00:22:36Mind blown.
00:22:37And...
00:22:40It's really nice to be surprised by someone.
00:22:43I have to admit, he's not who I thought he was.
00:22:46I wish someone would do that for me.
00:22:48Wasn't rich romantic?
00:22:50Yeah, but he's never really written me a love letter or a poem.
00:22:56Yeah, I just think for someone to sit down and take the time to write out their feelings
00:23:00and express themselves in such an honest, vulnerable way.
00:23:05I would love that.
00:23:06Yeah.
00:23:07It was pretty special.
00:23:11Okay.
00:23:13What did it say?
00:23:14What did it say?
00:23:16Hey!
00:23:17How's it going?
00:23:18Oh, it's good.
00:23:19I need your help.
00:23:20Okay.
00:23:21Just stand right here for a second.
00:23:23Okay.
00:23:26Yeah.
00:23:28There we go.
00:23:30Now it's up to date.
00:23:34And I'm going to put a layer of protection on it so that the marks and the dates, they won't fade.
00:23:40So now, you can take the memories to your new home or wherever it is you go next.
00:23:45Henry!
00:23:48Portable memories? I love that. Thank you.
00:23:55I don't suppose there's anything else around here that I could just take with me?
00:23:58What do you mean?
00:24:01Nothing. Forget it.
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:03We're old friends. I know when you're not fine, I always have.
00:24:11I'm just not sure if selling the house is the right choice for me.
00:24:18Really?
00:24:19Yeah. You know, I thought I was ready to move on, but after living here for a little while and all these memories are flooding back.
00:24:30I don't know. It just feels like home.
00:24:34Well, you don't have to sell.
00:24:36Yeah, but Rich wants me to move to this city so that we can finally, you know, take the next step.
00:24:43I think you should just talk to him. I think he'll understand.
00:24:48You need to tell him how you feel now, because if you don't, you'll end up regretting it later.
00:24:55Trust me, I know.
00:25:03You're such a great friend.
00:25:07Thank you, Henry.
00:25:12Oh, by the way, did you know that your BFF is totally crushing on my BFF?
00:25:17That's just Tom being Tom.
00:25:19I don't think so. He wooed her with romantic prose.
00:25:23Seriously?
00:25:24Yeah. Yeah, he said all these things about how he's known her almost his whole life and remembers the first time he saw her,
00:25:32but doesn't remember when he fell in love with her and that the feelings were always there.
00:25:38He was just waiting for her to walk into his life like crazy.
00:25:47Wow. All right.
00:25:49Tom!
00:25:50Hey, Henry. I think Tom's upstairs. What's wrong?
00:25:53I gotta talk to him.
00:25:56Hey, buddy. What's up?
00:25:57I'll tell you what's up. You read the letter that I wrote for Claire to Lily, and then you pretended that it was for her?
00:26:02Okay, look, I—
00:26:05This better be good.
00:26:06Look, I wanted to impress Lily, okay? I didn't want her to think I was some class clown and couldn't be taken seriously.
00:26:11So I thought it would be better if I read her some romantic words of my own.
00:26:15You're lying to her.
00:26:16No, I'm not. That's—
00:26:17By omitting the truth, you are lying.
00:26:22Well, then, you're lying to Claire.
00:26:25No, I'm not.
00:26:26By not telling her how you feel, you're omitting the truth or whatever you just said.
00:26:31This isn't about me, Tom.
00:26:36You're right.
00:26:38But I think it worked. I mean, Lily seemed to really like what I told her, and, you know, after I took the letter—
00:26:45You took the letter?
00:26:50Where's the letter, Tom?
00:26:51Um...
00:26:54It's, uh—
00:26:55No, this isn't funny.
00:26:59I'm not joking.
00:27:04Uh, hey, Mom, when you were cleaning upstairs, you didn't happen to come across a letter or paper with some writing on it, did you?
00:27:09You're kind of right.
00:27:10Uh, it was a letter that—
00:27:11You'd know if you'd seen it.
00:27:12Do you need help looking for it?
00:27:13No, thank you.
00:27:14Okay.
00:27:17We have to find that letter.
00:27:19It's got to be around here somewhere, okay? We'll find it. I mean, we have to before somebody else stumbles across it, especially—
00:27:24Claire!
00:27:25Yes, Claire, exactly. Why do you have to interrupt me all the time?
00:27:27If the letter's swimming around in here somewhere, she cannot be here. I'm going to distract her. You find it.
00:27:31All right, all right.
00:27:33Hey, Claire.
00:27:34Hey, hey. Is everything okay?
00:27:37You seemed really flustered, and then you just ran off without any explanation.
00:27:40Flustered? I seemed flustered?
00:27:41Yeah, and you still do.
00:27:43That's weird. I mean, why would I be flustered?
00:27:46Oh.
00:27:49I think I know what's going on.
00:27:51You do?
00:27:52Yeah. And you really shouldn't worry so much.
00:27:55The party's going to be great! And we still have a full week!
00:27:59You're right, you're right.
00:28:00It's the party.
00:28:01I think that I would feel better, calmer, if we went and took care of some things right now.
00:28:05Right now, yeah. Let's just go, uh—
00:28:07But we should probably—
00:28:08Oh, let's go get away from the house.
00:28:09Um, okay. If we wanted to throw her, you know, kindergarten party.
00:28:14If no one's dancing, we can start with that. Throw them at their feet.
00:28:17Like those little pistols.
00:28:27You know, I think we have everything.
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:31Great.
00:28:34Oh, uh, did you need wrapping paper for your present?
00:28:38Present?
00:28:39Please do not tell me that you forgot to get your one and only mom a birthday gift?
00:28:42I thought planning the party was a gift.
00:28:44Oh, wow. You really don't know moms. Or women.
00:28:48Uh, maybe we could— Oh, do something with the photos she's been looking at.
00:28:51We could digitize them. That way they won't get lost or damaged, and she can look at them whenever and wherever she wants.
00:28:57Yeah, yeah. And we could play like a slideshow during the party.
00:28:59And I could take some portrait shots of you to add to the collection.
00:29:03That's perfect.
00:29:04Great.
00:29:14Where is it? Where did I go?
00:29:29You okay?
00:29:30Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:37Careful with my flowers.
00:29:44Hey.
00:29:45Hey.
00:29:46What are you doing?
00:29:47Uh, just looking for you.
00:29:49Really? Because I'm not under there.
00:29:54What's going on?
00:29:55Just wanted to talk.
00:29:57About?
00:29:58Your, um, cards.
00:30:00I really liked the last one you shared.
00:30:02Really?
00:30:03Yeah.
00:30:04I'm sorry.
00:30:05It's okay.
00:30:06It's okay.
00:30:07It's okay.
00:30:08It's okay.
00:30:09It's okay.
00:30:10It's okay.
00:30:11It's okay.
00:30:12It's okay.
00:30:14I came up with some more.
00:30:16Let's hear it.
00:30:17What?
00:30:18Let's hear it.
00:30:20Um, your eyes are endless.
00:30:28My eyes are endless.
00:30:29Endless black holes.
00:30:32Black holes?
00:30:33Of beauty.
00:30:34Uh-huh.
00:30:36You didn't like it?
00:30:37Uh, it was just, uh, different in the last one.
00:30:42You know, actually, I need to, I need to go, so I'll, I'll talk to you soon.
00:30:45Okay?
00:30:46Okay.
00:30:52Oh, yeah.
00:30:53Hey.
00:30:54Hey.
00:30:55Hey, I was looking for you.
00:30:57I just, uh, got a room at the, um, well, it's the hotel down the street.
00:31:01I figured I'd stay close until we sell the house.
00:31:04That's great.
00:31:05Uh, yeah, sorry, Henry and I were just out shopping for his mom.
00:31:08Oh.
00:31:09Yeah, here.
00:31:10Thanks.
00:31:11Okay.
00:31:12Okay, and, um, I will see you tomorrow?
00:31:14Yeah, yeah.
00:31:15Oh, if you guys want to cut through right here, it saves you, like, 15 seconds.
00:31:18It saves us a ton of time.
00:31:20All right, good night.
00:31:22We used to do it as kids.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:26Oh, look.
00:31:30What is it?
00:31:31It shows how my height has changed over the years.
00:31:34Oh, that's cool.
00:31:36Yeah, Henry took it off in one piece so that I could keep it.
00:31:39Why would you want to keep it?
00:31:41It's just an old piece of wood.
00:31:43It's sentimental.
00:31:45Don't you have any memories or keepsakes from your childhood home?
00:31:50No, not really.
00:31:52Houses are, they're just things.
00:31:55You know?
00:31:57What's important is who you're with.
00:32:00Don't you think?
00:32:02Really?
00:32:05I think we need to talk about the house.
00:32:11Excellent.
00:32:12That's why I'm here.
00:32:13It is?
00:32:14I found a realtor, and she's coming by to see the place.
00:32:21I thought you weren't going to push anymore.
00:32:23I'm helping.
00:32:24I appreciate you trying to help, but this house means a lot to me.
00:32:30It's not just some random building that I'm trying to sell.
00:32:37Claire.
00:32:41We talk about the distance constantly and how it's taking a toll on our relationship.
00:32:47But if this continues, we could go weeks without seeing each other.
00:32:53Is that what you want?
00:32:54No, no.
00:32:57I'll make more of an effort to come to you.
00:32:59It's not about that.
00:33:03Think about your career.
00:33:07You want to just throw away all this hard work?
00:33:11If you really want to become a famous photographer, you've got to get out of the suburbs.
00:33:16Move downtown, in the arts district.
00:33:21Yeah.
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:30You're right.
00:33:50I love you.
00:34:21I love you.
00:34:43Hey, what you doing?
00:34:44Just one more invitation to get out.
00:34:46Well, if you run out of stamps and you need more, they're right there in my address book.
00:35:04Claire Goodster?
00:35:06Hi, can I help you?
00:35:07Bree Moore, Westside Real Estate Agency.
00:35:09Rich Bradford said you'd be expecting me.
00:35:11Oh, he did, did he?
00:35:14Can I come in?
00:35:15Sure.
00:35:21What did you say your name was again?
00:35:23Bree Moore.
00:35:25Bree Moore, the realtor, that is very catchy.
00:35:29Let's see what we're working with.
00:35:30This house is in a great neighborhood, near an excellent high school and a well-known hospital.
00:35:35Only minutes to the center of town, so there's no issue there.
00:35:38Are these the original hardwood floors?
00:35:40Yes, I think so.
00:35:41Rich mentioned that some work is being done to the place.
00:35:44I have a friend in construction who's been helping me with some minor repairs.
00:35:48Figured it'd be the right thing to do if I decide to sell.
00:35:50If?
00:35:51I'm still not sure.
00:35:53I understand.
00:35:54I've had many clients who have trouble selling a place that means something to them.
00:35:58This isn't just a house.
00:36:01It's a home.
00:36:02Exactly.
00:36:03And it's my job to make sure that this home, one that means so much to you,
00:36:07goes to a family who will love and treasure it as much as you do.
00:36:14Can I see the rest?
00:36:15Sure.
00:36:18Keep it out of the street.
00:36:19Okay.
00:36:23Hello?
00:36:25Edith?
00:36:27Yes?
00:36:29Hi, I'm Henry Sampson.
00:36:32Susan Sampson is my mother.
00:36:34Lovey.
00:36:38You're a very handsome young man.
00:36:40Thanks.
00:36:41These your grandkids?
00:36:42Oh, yes, this is Ariana and Sergio.
00:36:45Nice to meet you guys.
00:36:47Go play, kids.
00:36:48Is everything all right?
00:36:50Yeah, her 50th birthday's coming up and I'm throwing a party for her.
00:36:55I just wanted to hand deliver your invitation.
00:36:59Make sure you got it.
00:37:01Well, that's very kind, but you didn't have to come all that way.
00:37:04Oh, it was really no trouble at all.
00:37:06It would mean a lot to her if you came.
00:37:23I'll tell you what.
00:37:24Tell your mom if she truly wants me to be there that, you know, she should give me a call.
00:37:31I'll let her know.
00:37:34Take care.
00:37:35Take care, guys.
00:37:36You too, Henry.
00:37:43Thanks.
00:37:52Henry, the front steps, the back steps, the fence.
00:37:58Great job, man.
00:38:00Your hard work is really going to help us sell this place in no time.
00:38:04Thanks.
00:38:06I actually wanted to talk to you.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:11I came across something the other night outside in the bushes.
00:38:18A letter.
00:38:21I think it belongs to you.
00:38:25Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:38:27Yes.
00:38:29It was written a long, long time ago, right?
00:38:31Oh, yeah, yeah, way, way, way, way, like way, way back.
00:38:34Why was it in the bushes?
00:38:36Tom and I, we were going through some of my old stuff.
00:38:39We might have dropped it when we threw out the trash.
00:38:43It was just a stupid high school crush.
00:38:45I don't know about you, but I had a crush on a different girl in high school like every day.
00:38:49Really?
00:38:50Yeah.
00:38:52But, uh, yeah, we're just friends.
00:38:55Nothing more.
00:38:56That's, that's good to hear.
00:38:58Because as your friend, I need you to do something for me.
00:39:01Yeah, what's that, Rich?
00:39:02Well, before you came back into town,
00:39:04before you came back into town,
00:39:06Claire was really gung-ho about selling this house and moving downtown with me.
00:39:11But now,
00:39:13she's second-guessing our plans.
00:39:16Sounds like a discussion you should have with Claire.
00:39:23Don't you want what's best for Claire?
00:39:25Of course I do.
00:39:26Great.
00:39:27Then we're on the same page.
00:39:30Hey, wait, uh,
00:39:32can I have the letter back?
00:39:34Oh, I don't, I don't have it on me.
00:39:36But I'll, I'll get it back to you next time.
00:39:39Um, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:39:42You're not gonna tell Claire, right?
00:39:47Don't worry.
00:39:49It's between you and me.
00:40:05Hey, buddy.
00:40:07Got some great news.
00:40:09Your words are telling me one thing, but your tone is saying something else.
00:40:12Someone found the letter.
00:40:14And that's someone.
00:40:16You listening?
00:40:18It's Rich.
00:40:20No, Rich.
00:40:31I really thought I had a shot.
00:40:33She seems happy with Rich, and she's moving on.
00:40:36I don't want to get in the way of that.
00:40:38Once you get back to New York,
00:40:40I'm sure you'll forget all about her, you know?
00:40:42Out of sight, out of mind.
00:40:44I shouldn't be spending so much time with her.
00:40:46Every day, it's the house and the party.
00:40:48It's just Claire, Claire, Claire.
00:40:50Hey, guys.
00:40:52What's going on?
00:40:54Just, uh, having a beer.
00:40:56Cool.
00:40:58Well, I'm waiting for Lily.
00:41:00I'm just gonna grab a table.
00:41:02We'll meet you there.
00:41:04Okay, great.
00:41:07Dude, I was just saying I'm spending too much time with her.
00:41:10No.
00:41:12Lily's here.
00:41:14So?
00:41:16My last talk with her went poorly.
00:41:18You can do this on your own.
00:41:20Listen, just have one drink, okay?
00:41:22If you're not there, I might bail.
00:41:24Fine.
00:41:26Just one drink.
00:41:28Hey.
00:41:30Hi.
00:41:32How are you guys?
00:41:34Perfect.
00:41:36Listen, I just wanted to apologize for...
00:41:38Don't worry about it.
00:41:40It's no big deal.
00:41:42So, we're okay?
00:41:44I'm just a little confused.
00:41:46It's been a really, really hard week.
00:41:48Sure.
00:41:50Hi.
00:41:52Hey.
00:41:54How are you guys?
00:41:56Great.
00:41:58Hey.
00:42:01You made it.
00:42:03Look who I ran into while I was here.
00:42:05Yep, a complete coincidence.
00:42:07Well, uh...
00:42:09Sorry I'm late.
00:42:11I was just talking to Bree.
00:42:13She wants to bring people in
00:42:15as soon as Henry's done with the back steps.
00:42:17Who's Bree?
00:42:19It was her that Rich sprung on me.
00:42:21Bree Moore.
00:42:23The realtor?
00:42:25I know, right?
00:42:27Like, can you imagine the jiggle she could have?
00:42:30I can't not imagine it.
00:42:34I didn't mean to spring her onto you, honey.
00:42:37I just wanted you to meet her.
00:42:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:41So, Henry, did you tell Claire
00:42:43about what we were talking about earlier?
00:42:45What do you mean?
00:42:47We were back at the house.
00:42:50How Henry's...
00:42:53hard work is really gonna help us sell the house
00:42:56and how thankful I am
00:42:58that he's helping you move on.
00:43:02Henry's been doing a great job.
00:43:05You know, I, uh...
00:43:07Actually, I think I need to get going.
00:43:09No, why? Come on, stay.
00:43:11No, I'm tired,
00:43:13and there's a lot of work to do tomorrow,
00:43:15especially if people are gonna start coming to the house.
00:43:17So, I'll see you all later.
00:43:19Bye.
00:43:25So, if you want to just put them...
00:43:27I'm just gonna spread them out, make it look pretty.
00:43:29Okay, I'll try my best.
00:43:32So, what's going on with you and Tom?
00:43:34You haven't talked much about it.
00:43:36I don't know.
00:43:38He was so sweet and romantic that one time,
00:43:40and then, the next day, he was...
00:43:43Ah, he was like a completely different person.
00:43:46Ah, he's probably just nervous.
00:43:47You should give him a chance,
00:43:49find out what he's really like.
00:43:51I don't want to be disappointed.
00:43:53You're the relationship guru.
00:43:55Oh, am I?
00:43:57Yeah, what do you think?
00:43:59Well, he makes you laugh, right?
00:44:02That's the most important thing, I think,
00:44:04to find humor in any situation.
00:44:06But you also want someone who's going to be serious
00:44:09and helpful when you need them to be.
00:44:12You know, someone who will listen to you actively.
00:44:15Actively?
00:44:17Yes, actively.
00:44:19According to all the women's magazines,
00:44:21active listening is what you really need from your man.
00:44:23Good to know.
00:44:25You're welcome.
00:44:27But honestly,
00:44:29to have a serious, lasting relationship,
00:44:31you just need to be good friends first.
00:44:34You know, you need to connect on that base level.
00:44:38Like, it's more than a romantic relationship.
00:44:42You enjoy spending time together,
00:44:45no matter what you're doing.
00:44:47You have a rhythm.
00:44:50Like you've known each other forever.
00:44:56And you have that with Rich?
00:44:59Uh...
00:45:01I'm not talking about anyone specific.
00:45:04I gotta go.
00:45:06These are for you.
00:45:08You're welcome.
00:45:14Oh, looking good.
00:45:15Oh, thanks.
00:45:17People are coming by tomorrow,
00:45:19and I don't want the paint to be wet.
00:45:21Will it be done by then?
00:45:23Yeah, it'll be good as new.
00:45:25Great. And be sure to put everything away when you're done.
00:45:27The place needs to be spotless.
00:45:29I'm gonna go check on the other rooms.
00:45:31Okay.
00:45:36Getting rid of the evidence?
00:45:38What?
00:45:40The step that broke.
00:45:42I mean, I was gonna take you to court,
00:45:43file a lawsuit over a foul play of zombies resulting in injury,
00:45:46but...
00:45:48Beth can't do that now.
00:45:50I guess not.
00:45:54You okay?
00:45:56Yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to focus so I can get this done.
00:45:58Oh. Yeah, okay.
00:46:11Hey.
00:46:13Been working hard over there.
00:46:18Doing what I can.
00:46:20Yeah, well, you are a very sweet guy.
00:46:26Hey, Mom, would you say you're in a good mood?
00:46:29You seem like you're in a good mood.
00:46:32I, um...
00:46:35I saw Edith.
00:46:39I invited her to your party.
00:46:44When I go back to New York,
00:46:46you're gonna be in our house all alone again,
00:46:48and I just think maybe it would be good for you to talk to Edith.
00:46:50Please.
00:46:54For your one and only adoring son.
00:47:00I might just happen to have her number.
00:47:03Right here.
00:47:04Okay.
00:47:14The west-facing front gets beautiful sunsets.
00:47:22So how many bedrooms is it?
00:47:24Three bedrooms, three full baths,
00:47:26and an additional office with half bath.
00:47:28Now, I like the location,
00:47:30but it's kind of a teardown, don't you think?
00:47:32Yeah. We could gut the place.
00:47:35And finally,
00:47:37the garden has been restored,
00:47:39and it has a brand new fence.
00:47:42All right.
00:47:44Please let me know if you have any questions,
00:47:46and thanks for coming by.
00:47:50I love it.
00:47:55Everyone gone?
00:47:57That was the last family.
00:47:59It's been quite a day.
00:48:01Thank you for all your work.
00:48:02But there were quite a few interested parties.
00:48:04I wouldn't be surprised if we had an offer
00:48:06in the next couple of days.
00:48:08You think it'll be that quick?
00:48:10We'll see. You never know.
00:48:12Hopefully it'll be that sweet couple
00:48:14who's starting a family.
00:48:16They'd be perfect for this place.
00:48:32Bye.
00:48:58Hello?
00:49:00Hey, it's Susan.
00:49:03Oh.
00:49:05Hi.
00:49:07I heard that you spoke to my son.
00:49:09I was surprised to see him.
00:49:11He stopped by to give me an invitation for your party.
00:49:14Oh, good. Good, good.
00:49:16I thought that it would be really great
00:49:18if you could join us.
00:49:22Is that all?
00:49:24What do you mean?
00:49:27Susan,
00:49:30I just can't forget
00:49:32what happened.
00:49:34And I can't pretend that everything's fine.
00:49:36Well, I can't really apologize
00:49:38for having fallen in love, Edie.
00:49:40I wasn't still in love with Mel.
00:49:43It was never about him.
00:49:45You know what?
00:49:47I don't want to do this again with you.
00:49:49I don't. I'm sorry I called.
00:49:51Yeah, well, so am I.
00:49:56Wow.
00:50:03Oh, wow, you look great.
00:50:05Um, I mean, you are dressed really nicely.
00:50:08Just thought it'd be better than jeans and a T-shirt.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:11Is it too much? Should I change?
00:50:12No, no, no, no. It's perfect.
00:50:14You look really good.
00:50:15Okay, um, are you ready?
00:50:17I guess so.
00:50:18Okay.
00:50:19I feel a little bit awkward.
00:50:20Oh, don't. It's fine.
00:50:22Let me just do a test shot real quickly.
00:50:24All right.
00:50:25I was, uh,
00:50:27what should I do?
00:50:29You should just, first of all, breathe.
00:50:30Okay?
00:50:31Get your chakras aligned.
00:50:33I don't like being photographed, so.
00:50:35I know.
00:50:36That's not okay.
00:50:37But don't even think about the camera.
00:50:38All right.
00:50:39Okay?
00:50:40So just, we're having a conversation.
00:50:41We're hanging out.
00:50:42There's one.
00:50:43That's, come on.
00:50:44You've got to warn me first.
00:50:45No, I don't.
00:50:46You could just, do you have a remote like that?
00:50:47I'm doing great.
00:50:48Not a big deal.
00:50:49Stop.
00:50:50What I need you to do is sort of cross one eye.
00:50:52Wait.
00:50:53I can't.
00:50:54Come on.
00:50:55Perfect.
00:50:56Put your arms up in the air.
00:50:57There you go.
00:50:58What?
00:50:59Perfect.
00:51:00Beautiful.
00:51:01What if I do one with you?
00:51:02Okay, come on.
00:51:03And just to loosen you up,
00:51:04we could recreate that picture of us from high school.
00:51:06Yes.
00:51:07Okay.
00:51:08All right.
00:51:09With this one?
00:51:10Yes.
00:51:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:51:12Totally.
00:51:13So we're pretty straight up like this?
00:51:15Yeah, but your hand is, yeah.
00:51:18Let me see.
00:51:19Yep, that looks pretty good.
00:51:21Okay.
00:51:22On three, you're going to do the photo.
00:51:23Yeah, ready?
00:51:24Okay.
00:51:25One, two.
00:51:27Okay, ready?
00:51:28You've got to look straight ahead.
00:51:29You can't look at me.
00:51:30Okay.
00:51:31You're happy.
00:51:32Remember.
00:51:33Two.
00:51:34This is my happy face.
00:51:35Three.
00:51:36I'm going to break it.
00:51:37Don't break it.
00:51:38I need that for a lot of things.
00:51:39Are you smiling?
00:51:40Oh, yes, I am smiling.
00:51:41Okay.
00:51:42Let's do this.
00:51:43Oh, is this prom now?
00:51:44We could do it the other way.
00:51:45Oh, what?
00:51:47This is illegal in most countries.
00:51:49Ready?
00:51:50Yes.
00:51:51Let's take it.
00:51:52Oh, no.
00:51:53That's mine.
00:51:56Okay, okay, okay.
00:51:57Okay, okay, okay.
00:51:58I'm stopping.
00:51:59Okay.
00:52:00I'm stopping.
00:52:02Okay.
00:52:03Okay.
00:52:11Hey, guys.
00:52:12Hey.
00:52:13Hey.
00:52:14Oh, taking some photos.
00:52:15Yeah.
00:52:16They're for Henry's mom.
00:52:18Yeah, we should be done.
00:52:19We're good, right?
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21I should probably get going.
00:52:22Okay.
00:52:23And I'll send those to you on a disc.
00:52:28That's some good ones.
00:52:30That's nice.
00:52:32Oh, that must be Lily with the floral arrangements.
00:52:35So I'm going to go help her out.
00:52:36I think she has a ton, so.
00:52:45Why didn't you come by the shop today?
00:52:47Oh, uh, Henry and I had to take some photos, so I was just setting up.
00:52:52Is everything all right?
00:52:53You seemed out of it yesterday.
00:52:54Yeah, it's just, uh, all moving a little fast.
00:52:58Yeah.
00:53:01Rich is talking to Henry about something in there.
00:53:04I think that, uh, Rich is trying to make sure that things happen even faster.
00:53:11You know, it seems like he doesn't even really care that I'm having a hard time.
00:53:15You know, and Henry is kind of the only one who's listening to me.
00:53:18Is something going on between you two?
00:53:22No.
00:53:23Why would you ask that?
00:53:24You're my best friend.
00:53:25You can be honest with me.
00:53:28Why?
00:53:32He's a great guy.
00:53:37You know, and we get along really well, and I enjoy spending my time with him,
00:53:42and I think I might like him a little bit.
00:53:45I already knew that.
00:53:51Henry just gets me.
00:53:58I think that Henry feels the same way.
00:54:06And I don't think that you should ignore that.
00:54:18Hey, um, before you go.
00:54:20What now?
00:54:23I just want to say thank you for all your hard work.
00:54:26It made a big difference.
00:54:27Yeah, no problem.
00:54:29Yeah, and one more thing.
00:54:33There wasn't anything going on out there, right?
00:54:35No.
00:54:37If you're really set on taking the next step with Claire, you should probably trust her.
00:54:41I trust her.
00:54:43I don't trust you.
00:54:45We've been through this already.
00:54:47I do not have any romantic feelings for Claire.
00:54:50She's just an old friend from my childhood, nothing more.
00:54:56As soon as I go back to New York, you'll probably never hear about me again.
00:55:00Okay?
00:55:02Okay.
00:55:04Now, hey, can I have my letter back so I can get rid of it?
00:55:06Do I look like a mailman?
00:55:08Yeah, I don't just carry your love letter around with me everywhere I go, Henry.
00:55:13Fine, just bring it next time.
00:55:20Enjoy them.
00:55:26Hey, Lily.
00:55:28Hey.
00:55:30Do you have a minute?
00:55:33What's going on?
00:55:35It's about us.
00:55:37And all those romantic things I said a few days ago.
00:55:41Okay.
00:55:43See, all those things that I said to you, you should know that wasn't really me.
00:55:52What do you mean?
00:55:53I mean, the feelings were me.
00:55:55And the meanings behind the words were true and I was directing it towards you.
00:56:00But I have to admit that I had help.
00:56:06I did notice quite a difference in the way that you presented yourself that night.
00:56:14But why did you think that you needed help?
00:56:19Why did you think that you needed help?
00:56:22When we first met, you only remembered me because of that time I fainted in biology class.
00:56:27You threw up and then you fainted.
00:56:30You were such a beautiful and amazing person and you were so smart and good with words that I just thought I needed to be smart and wordful too to get you to notice me.
00:56:40Wordful's not a word.
00:56:42I just felt that I had to go above and beyond to get your attention.
00:56:46But that's only because you're worth going above and beyond for.
00:56:54I'll let you get back to work.
00:56:58Tom, wait.
00:57:16There you go.
00:57:19Hey, honey.
00:57:20Hey.
00:57:21Uh, Bree's here.
00:57:22I have some exciting news.
00:57:24What's going on?
00:57:25There's an offer on the house.
00:57:27That's fantastic.
00:57:29Already?
00:57:30That's the way I work.
00:57:31Darling, look more excited.
00:57:33They're slightly above asking and really eager to own this place.
00:57:37Yeah, I just thought I would have a little bit more time to sort things out.
00:57:42Hey, we should go out and celebrate.
00:57:46We should take advantage of this offer, but I won't proceed unless it's 100% what you want.
00:57:52Oh.
00:57:54Okay.
00:57:56Yeah, just give me the night to think about it.
00:58:00Excellent.
00:58:01No, we just need to talk escrow.
00:58:13Great news, dude.
00:58:14Julie likes me.
00:58:16Like likes you or likes you like a friend?
00:58:18She like likes me, dude.
00:58:21By her own free will.
00:58:22Yes, I just told her how I felt and in my own words and it worked.
00:58:27Honesty, it really is the best policy.
00:58:33I think you'd feel better if you told Claire the truth.
00:58:36It's too late.
00:58:37Too late.
00:58:40She's already with Rich and I missed my opportunity.
00:58:57Hey.
00:58:58Hey.
00:58:59Come on in.
00:59:00Thanks.
00:59:01Hey, Tom.
00:59:03So, uh, a celebration's in order because we just, we just got an offer on the house.
00:59:14I'm taking everyone out tonight, so.
00:59:17There's an offer already?
00:59:18Yeah, now Claire can finally leave this place and live with me in a big bad city.
00:59:23Oh, well, let's not go crazy. I haven't made my decision yet.
00:59:27Well, it's still great, isn't it?
00:59:28Yeah.
00:59:29That's, that's, that's perfect.
00:59:33So you guys have to come out with us.
00:59:36Lily's gonna be there.
00:59:38Well, then I'm there.
00:59:40Henry?
00:59:42I don't know if I can make it. I should spend time with my mom.
00:59:46Maybe later, then?
00:59:48Please, try to come out. I would love for you to be there.
00:59:52I'll try.
00:59:54All right, well, first round's on me, so if you come late, you're paying for yourself.
00:59:59It's true.
01:00:00I'll see you later.
01:00:03Bye.
01:00:22All right.
01:00:24Most expensive bottle they had.
01:00:26Bree must really know what she's doing.
01:00:28Yeah, well, Henry also really fixed it up.
01:00:31How come you didn't help out?
01:00:32Well, I've been busy.
01:00:33Doing what?
01:00:35Trying to impress you.
01:00:37And that took you all week?
01:00:38Yes, there's lots going on behind the scenes. Planning, preparation.
01:00:44Selling the house.
01:00:46And moving forward.
01:00:47Cheers.
01:00:48Cheers.
01:00:49Cheers.
01:01:01Phone chimes.
01:01:11You don't have to be here, you know.
01:01:14Why would you say something like that? That's ridiculous, Mom.
01:01:16Because you've been quiet and distracted all night.
01:01:20I'm just tired.
01:01:22Go be with your friends.
01:01:23I would much rather be here.
01:01:25No, your friendships mean so much to you, I know that, or you wouldn't have tried to patch up Edith and I.
01:01:29I was wrong.
01:01:32You shouldn't feel bad about all the things you never told Edith.
01:01:37It was so long ago.
01:01:42Friends change, feelings, they change.
01:01:46People grow apart.
01:01:50You were right, it's best to leave the past in the past.
01:01:59I love you.
01:02:29Hey.
01:02:41Hey there.
01:02:44I got something for you.
01:02:46The, uh, photo slideshow for your mom.
01:02:49Oh, this is great. Thank you.
01:02:52I think she's really gonna love it.
01:02:54So, where were you last night?
01:02:56I thought I told you I wouldn't be able to make it.
01:03:00Yeah, but you didn't even return my texts.
01:03:03Oh, sorry, I'd just been busy and I didn't think that it would matter if I was there or not.
01:03:11But, I thought we were friends.
01:03:16We are.
01:03:17But what difference does one night make?
01:03:20I mean, let's be honest, we went years without even talking to each other.
01:03:25I thought we were getting closer, was I wrong about that?
01:03:28No.
01:03:31Last night was a big deal for me. You know, I might be selling the house and it's scary.
01:03:35It shouldn't be.
01:03:37I mean, I know that it's easy to, you know, hold on to the past.
01:03:42I mean, I know that it's easy to, you know, hold on to the past.
01:03:47But things change. It's a part of life. You just need to let go and move on.
01:03:52Even if it's scary. Even if it hurts.
01:04:00You sound like Rich.
01:04:04Oh, I think he's right on this one.
01:04:05Oh, I think he's right on this one.
01:04:10I really need to get this done. I'm sorry.
01:04:15Okay. I'll see you at the party.
01:04:35So, if you agree, we could go to the dance floor.
01:04:42Oh, this looks amazing!
01:04:46Oh my gosh.
01:04:48It's beautiful.
01:04:49Well, you don't look it.
01:04:50Day over 22.
01:04:51Oh, you're a big liar.
01:04:52I'm trying to tell that to my colorist.
01:04:54Life's mission is to keep you grazing.
01:04:57Thank you, honey. Thank you so much. Good to see you.
01:05:01This is beautiful. It's beautiful.
01:05:03You've always been the sweetest kid on the planet Earth. You always were.
01:05:07The perfect party for the perfect mom.
01:05:15Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you.
01:05:19Um, what is she doing here?
01:05:22Thank you. Thank you.
01:05:25You didn't call her again?
01:05:26No.
01:05:27You didn't call her?
01:05:28I didn't think she was going to show.
01:05:32Go talk to her.
01:05:45Surprised to see you here.
01:05:48Didn't like the way we left things.
01:05:50Me neither.
01:05:54Do you want to go and talk?
01:05:55Sure.
01:05:59I thought you wouldn't agree to see me, so I figured I'd come to tell you in person.
01:06:07Tell me what?
01:06:08How I feel about all of this.
01:06:12Susie, I am so sad about what's happening with our friendship.
01:06:21You know, Edie, I didn't invite you to the wedding because I thought it would hurt you.
01:06:28I knew how much it upset you that I was with Mel, and that, that killed me.
01:06:34But do you know how much I wanted you there?
01:06:38That day?
01:06:40I never wanted to stand in the way of your happiness. I mean, it was just, it was just hard.
01:06:47For that, I'm sorry.
01:06:48No, I should have been more respectful of your feelings.
01:06:53You were just in love.
01:06:56And look at what it brought you.
01:07:01And it's so much better that you're here.
01:07:04Now I know you brought me a present.
01:07:06You did, I saw it.
01:07:07No.
01:07:09Yes, I did.
01:07:10You did.
01:07:13That was great.
01:07:14Oh, hey guys.
01:07:15Thanks for coming.
01:07:16Oh, yeah, well, it wasn't too far of a commute.
01:07:18Actually, I'm going to grab a drink. You want anything?
01:07:21No, I'm good right now, thanks.
01:07:23Okay.
01:07:25Want to have one?
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:38Look, I'm sorry I didn't come out last night.
01:07:40Oh, no need to apologize.
01:07:43You were right.
01:07:46I've decided to take the offer.
01:07:47Oh, really? You're going to sell?
01:07:49Yep. So, you know, we can just forget about it. Water under the bridge.
01:07:55Okay.
01:08:00Where's your mom? I should say happy birthday.
01:08:02She's over there.
01:08:04Okay.
01:08:08Fraternity, remember?
01:08:14Happy birthday so much.
01:08:16Thanks, honey.
01:08:17Yeah.
01:08:18Wow, nice hats.
01:08:19Yeah, right? What do you think?
01:08:20Aren't those the ones from the picture?
01:08:21They are the hats from the picture.
01:08:22I think we could get away with, you know, wearing these to a royal wedding.
01:08:25To a royal wedding?
01:08:27Glad you made it.
01:08:28Me too.
01:08:30We've been catching up on everything.
01:08:32She's been telling me all about her husband and her kids and her grandkids.
01:08:35I love that you can still lose track of time just hanging out.
01:08:39Well, we haven't talked in a long while, but we did have a way of losing track of time, didn't we?
01:08:44Oh, yeah. Yeah, we did.
01:08:45And had we just been honest with each other all those years ago, we wouldn't have all this catching up to do right now.
01:08:52Yeah, glad you're here.
01:08:54Me too.
01:08:55Well, I'm going to gather up all the troops.
01:08:58Time to give Mom her present.
01:09:00Yes.
01:09:01There's more?
01:09:02Oh, there's more.
01:09:03Oh, my gosh.
01:09:04Okay.
01:09:13First, I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight.
01:09:16It means a lot to both of us.
01:09:19I wouldn't be the man that I am today without the love and support of my mom.
01:09:26So, this party tonight is not just a birthday celebration.
01:09:29It's a thank you.
01:09:31So, thank you, Mom.
01:09:33I love you.
01:09:34I love you.
01:09:35Thank you, Mom.
01:09:37I also want to thank someone else who made this party possible.
01:09:43Claire Goodster.
01:09:44Claire's the one who suggested that we have a theme.
01:09:47And the theme tonight is memories.
01:09:50And the theme tonight is memories.
01:10:14No, I just kissed her!
01:10:16Here you go.
01:10:20So
01:10:37Money well spent
01:10:50So
01:11:00So
01:11:16So
01:11:30So
01:11:48I love you too
01:12:00So
01:12:14So
01:12:30So
01:12:50So
01:13:00So
01:13:20So
01:13:30So
01:13:50Hey, Henry should have taken care of this. You know what? I'll I'll toss it out. No
01:13:55No
01:13:58No
01:14:01Rich I need to be honest with you
01:14:04Yeah, okay
01:14:08I don't want to sell the house and I've been telling you that for a while, but I feel like you haven't ever really heard me
01:14:16You convinced me that it was the right thing to do. So I listened. I'm just trying to help. I believe you
01:14:23But being back here has made me realize that
01:14:28Living downtown isn't what I want. What are you saying? You want to keep the house? I
01:14:37Don't just want to keep it. I want to live in it. I want to start a family and raise my kids here
01:14:45I grew up here. My friends are here rich. I am happy here
01:14:51Did Henry put you up to this? No, are you sure because I swear ever since he's gotten here
01:14:56You've got all these new ideas about life
01:15:00Henry didn't put me up to anything
01:15:05Rich
01:15:10We just want different things
01:15:15I think deep down, you know that
01:15:21I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry, too
01:15:31There you are yeah looking all over for you I brought you some cake
01:15:41You should talk to her
01:15:46What
01:15:47She talked to her. You should go talk to Claire. You can't just keep this bottled up anymore
01:15:52Wait, how do you know how I feel about Claire?
01:15:56Honey, I'm your mother
01:16:08Happy birthday. Thanks, sweetheart
01:16:16Love you, go get her
01:16:23Hey
01:16:24Rich what I tell you I told you to stay out of the way. What are you talking about?
01:16:28She just broke up with me. Is that what you want? Are you happy you pushed her away?
01:16:33There's nothing that I could have said or did that would have done that
01:16:37But I did lie about one thing. She's not just a friend to me. I
01:16:41Love her. Yeah. Yeah, I knew that
01:16:46Are you okay? Yeah, where's Claire said she wanted to be alone need time to clear her head
01:16:51I
01:17:13What are you doing here I need to talk to you
01:17:17What's this
01:17:19You said that everyone loves presents. So this presents for you
01:17:23Just read it
01:17:25Why does it smell like trash? I just read it
01:17:34Dear Claire
01:17:37I've known you for most of my life
01:17:40But on all our years of friendship, I haven't been completely honest with you
01:17:46Since this is the last week of high school. I think it's finally time for me to tell you the truth. I
01:17:55Remember the first time that I saw you
01:17:58Down to the smallest detail
01:18:00It was the day that you moved in next door and I watched you sit down on the front porch
01:18:07Cheering the movers on I
01:18:11Remember that like it was yesterday
01:18:16But for some strange reason I don't remember when I fell in love with you
01:18:23It's almost like I've always been in love with you even before we met
01:18:29And I was just waiting for you to walk into my life
01:18:37These feelings have always been there they've never gone away and I don't think they ever will
01:18:47I
01:18:48Wrote that senior year of high school
01:18:52But I could have written it today because I feel exactly the same way every single word
