00:00:30Abigail Miller's office. This is Caitlin. Hi, Karen. Yes, I know it's Christmas Eve, but she's working on the fashion show. Because it's on the 26th. Well, you either come in tonight or open presents at your desk tomorrow morning. No, I will not tell our boss that she is being a Grinch. Karen, I promise you'll be the first to know when I do. Fa-la-la-la to you two. No, she's not in the art department. We're supposed to be at your parents' house in an hour.
00:01:00No, my mother keeps texting me pictures of the turkey in the oven. Are those Leighton's dresses? Yep, all hemmed and tailored, buffed and polished. How do they look?
00:01:08Not bad. Your designs are a million times better. Abigail should really put you in the fashion show. Leighton is her daughter and I am just her assistant. She barely cares what my name is, let alone what my designs look like.
00:01:18You've been working for her for almost a year. Have you never even shown them to her? Doris, are you crazy? Your New Year's resolution should be to believe in your talent.
00:01:27I do. I mostly do. Showing my designs to Abigail Miller would be like jumping in the deep end of a swimming pool filled with sharks.
00:01:38Well, by midnight New Year's Eve, I will change your mind. Right before we get romantic kisses from two handsome men at a elegant ball.
00:01:48What men?
00:01:50What ball? We were just planning on binge watching TV and eating our weight in ice cream.
00:01:54Well, it's New Year's Eve. Anything is possible.
00:01:57Okay, the chances of us getting kissed at midnight at some fancy New Year's ball is just as good as Abigail Miller wanting to see my dress designs.
00:02:06Abigail Miller's office, this is Caitlin. Okay, I got it. She's on your way.
00:02:09Okay, I am going to go hide behind my sewing machine and please remind her that it's Christmas Eve and that some of us are on Santa's nice list.
00:02:16Mm-hmm.
00:02:16Caitlin?
00:02:31Abigail, I have your messages and, Leighton, your addresses have arrived.
00:02:35Well, thanks, Caitlin.
00:02:36I want you to add Lady Isabel and Prince Jeffrey to the guest list for the fashion show.
00:02:41Who?
00:02:42They're only one of the hottest couples in the world right now.
00:02:45I don't really pay attention to that stuff usually.
00:02:47It's your job to pay attention to stuff like that.
00:02:51Anyway, they're here for the royal family's New Year's Eve charity thing and the rumor is the prince is going to propose.
00:02:59On New Year's Eve? Wow, that's so romantic.
00:03:03Yes. Anyway, it'll make a great cover, so I want to wow them at the fashion show.
00:03:08I'll take care of it.
00:03:08Abigail, some of the staff was wondering, it's Christmas Eve.
00:03:18And?
00:03:20And they want to go home, Mom.
00:03:22We have tons of work to do.
00:03:25Caitlin, remind me which one chose it first.
00:03:26Is it the ghosts of Christmas past?
00:03:31Fine.
00:03:32Go be merry.
00:03:34Merry Christmas.
00:03:37No.
00:03:40No.
00:03:41Definitely not.
00:03:42Mom, I like that one.
00:03:45Lady Isabel is going to see your dresses at the fashion show.
00:03:48And if we play our cards right, she's going to be wearing one when the prince proposes to her on New Year's Eve.
00:03:54Okay, I get it.
00:03:56But it is Christmas Eve.
00:03:58Can't this wait?
00:03:59This could be your big break.
00:04:01This is much more important than Christmas.
00:04:05Let's get to work.
00:04:12Caitlin, we're late!
00:04:14I know.
00:04:15My mother just sent me a picture of a kitchen timer.
00:04:18Wait until you see how much food she's made.
00:04:20We're going to have leftovers for weeks.
00:04:22Oh, the freezer's already full with all the food that my folks sent home after Thanksgiving.
00:04:26I can bring some to work.
00:04:27We work at a fashion magazine.
00:04:29Nobody there eats.
00:04:31Okay, no telling jokes like that tonight.
00:04:33My parents are already freaked out that I quit my steady teaching job to work in fashion.
00:04:37Well, have they seen your designs?
00:04:39Yeah, they think they're cute.
00:04:40Well, they're beautiful.
00:04:42Lady Isabel should see this one.
00:04:45The prince would take one look at her in this and propose on the spot.
00:04:48Okay, we have to go.
00:04:49Otherwise, my mother is going to send us a picture of her weeping over a burnt turkey.
00:04:53Okay, okay.
00:04:54Okay, okay.
00:04:59Someday your prince will come.
00:05:00Who's home is this again?
00:05:20Lord and Lady Atwood.
00:05:22You met them at the opera a few months ago.
00:05:24Oh, yes.
00:05:25I think it was a race to determine which would put me to sleep faster.
00:05:30Them or the opera.
00:05:32Luckily, they are vacationing in Italy and have given you a free run of the place and a suitable venue for the New Year's Eve ball.
00:05:39I suppose it's appropriate, given what everyone's expecting me to do at this year's ball.
00:05:43It is a tradition in your family, Your Highness.
00:05:46All men have proposed on New Year's Eve.
00:05:47I'm painfully aware of the traditions, Barnaby.
00:05:50I've lived my entire life within their strict confines.
00:05:53It's just that sometimes I wish that...
00:05:55And let me show you both where the New Year's Eve ball will take place.
00:05:59Hello, darling.
00:06:01Did you get settled in your room, Lady Isabel?
00:06:03Yes, I did, Barnaby.
00:06:06We must make sure to thank Lord and Lady Atwood for their generosity.
00:06:10Oh, Geoffrey, we should take them to the opera.
00:06:14Wouldn't that be fun?
00:06:15Yes, it would be.
00:06:17Oh, Geoffrey.
00:06:26This room is beautiful, isn't it?
00:06:28Yes, it is.
00:06:29This will make a wonderful place for you to host an easy gala.
00:06:32We have so much to do.
00:06:34Interview Cato's, choose an orchestra.
00:06:37I have to find a dress.
00:06:38Isabel, darling, it's Christmas Eve.
00:06:40Perhaps we could put a pin in that until after the holiday?
00:06:43Geoffrey, this is quite important.
00:06:44We must make sure that everything is perfect when the king arrives on New Year's Eve.
00:06:49Yes, of course.
00:06:57I'm still full.
00:06:58I told you not to have second.
00:07:00I think I would have made your mom cry if I didn't.
00:07:02Hello, Abigail.
00:07:05Do you have the updated guest list for tonight?
00:07:08Yes, I have that right here.
00:07:09Hi, Leighton.
00:07:10How is your Christmas?
00:07:11Jingle all the way.
00:07:12Let me know the moment Lady Isabella arrives.
00:07:15And, Doris, I think we should do another fitting for the models.
00:07:18We've already done two.
00:07:19Well, let's do three.
00:07:20It has to be perfect.
00:07:21Caitlin, why is this Christmas tree here?
00:07:27Because it was Christmas yesterday?
00:07:29Yesterday is like wearing last year's fashions.
00:07:32Get rid of it.
00:07:34Somebody got cold in their stocking.
00:07:36Mm-hmm.
00:07:43Hello, Lady Isabel Collins for Abigail Miller.
00:07:46Hello, welcome.
00:07:48Lady Isabel?
00:07:49I didn't know you were here.
00:07:53Caitlin, why didn't you tell me she was here?
00:07:55Well, I hope you're ready for this evening.
00:07:58We are going to have some amazing designs for you to see.
00:08:02Hopefully, I'll fall in love with one of them for the Prince's New Year's Eve gala.
00:08:06I want to look stunning when he, well, when whatever happens that evening happens.
00:08:11Yes, let's talk about that.
00:08:14Oh, I forgot my notebook with all my plans for the party.
00:08:17The messenger should be bringing it.
00:08:19Caitlin, go downstairs and wait for the message.
00:08:21Okay, I'll take care of that.
00:08:22He'll be carrying a red book.
00:08:23You can't miss it.
00:08:24Great.
00:08:26So, I've been thinking about moving.
00:08:32The messenger would have delivered the notebook, your highness.
00:08:35I know Barnaby, but I wanted to get out of the hotel.
00:08:38It's New York City.
00:08:39I'd like to experience it while I'm here.
00:08:40You have a busy schedule today.
00:08:43Are you sure you don't want to change into something more befitting your position?
00:08:46Are you saying I look like a commoner?
00:08:48Never, your highness.
00:08:50You look like a man with a purpose.
00:08:52Perhaps an unshaven one, but a man with a purpose nonetheless.
00:08:57Barnaby, I've spent my entire life being treated like a prince.
00:09:00That's a bad thing.
00:09:02No.
00:09:02Just this once.
00:09:05There's a city where nobody knows me.
00:09:08I don't want to be Prince Geoffrey.
00:09:10House of Wallenford, next to the mind of the crown.
00:09:13I just want to be here.
00:09:16Geoff.
00:09:18I could be Geoff.
00:09:20You can be anything you want to be, your highness.
00:09:22Well, now you're just humoring me.
00:09:24I would never do that.
00:09:29Here we are.
00:09:31Geoff.
00:09:32Oh!
00:10:01Oh!
00:10:01Hi, excuse me.
00:10:05Is that poor lady Isabel Collins?
00:10:07Why, yes it is.
00:10:08I'll take that.
00:10:08I'm sorry, who are you?
00:10:09I'm Abigail Miller's assistant, and they are waiting for that upstairs.
00:10:12I really should take it up myself.
00:10:13They sent me down to get it.
00:10:15You see, Isabel is...
00:10:16Waiting for me to bring her that notebook, and she strikes me as the kind of woman that gets what she wants.
00:10:21Is she?
00:10:21Oh, yes.
00:10:22I mean, she's dating a prince.
00:10:23How do you even meet a prince?
00:10:25Is there, like, a dating app for that or something?
00:10:27Probably.
00:10:28Anyway, they are waiting for this, so...
00:10:30You don't understand.
00:10:32I wanted to meet Miss Miller because I'm...
00:10:33You're a model, and you think that if you could get in front of the editor of Applique magazine that she'll put you on the next cover?
00:10:40Model? Really?
00:10:41Look, you're a very handsome guy, I'll admit that.
00:10:44But the last person that tried to slip Abigail a headshot got carried out by security.
00:10:48Oh, dear.
00:10:48Yes, and they are waiting for this notebook upstairs, and if I'm not there in a couple minutes, I will be the one being carried out.
00:10:54Well, we wouldn't want that.
00:10:55No.
00:10:57Two conditions.
00:10:58Okay, what?
00:10:59One.
00:11:00You have to tell me your name.
00:11:03Caitlin.
00:11:04And I suppose the second condition is I'll have to give you my number?
00:11:07No, no, it's as simple as this.
00:11:09You must promise me that the next time we meet, you won't be embarrassed by what has transpired here today.
00:11:14What makes you think we will meet again, and why would I be embarrassed?
00:11:18Just a hunch.
00:11:19Okay, deal.
00:11:20Now, can I please have the notebook?
00:11:22My name is Jeff, by the way.
00:11:25Well, thank you, Jeff.
00:11:27I'll be sure to give you a good review on Yelp.
00:11:46Hello?
00:11:47Doris, have you left yet?
00:11:48Just leaving the house.
00:11:49Oh, good.
00:11:49I need you to bring me a dress.
00:11:51Why?
00:11:52What's wrong with what you're wearing?
00:11:53Abigail said I look like a waitress from an all-you-can-eat buffet.
00:11:56Oh, so we're guessing her new year's resolution is be less mean.
00:12:01Please just bring me a dress.
00:12:02Okay, well, which one?
00:12:03I don't know any of them.
00:12:05The red one.
00:12:07The red one?
00:12:08Really?
00:12:09Doris, please, just pick one.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:11Oh, Doris, what took you so long?
00:12:28All the guests have already arrived, and Abigail won't let me in the ballroom until I change.
00:12:31It's all right here.
00:12:33What?
00:12:34Doris, what did you do?
00:12:35This is one of my dresses.
00:12:36It's beautiful, and more importantly, it's too late to do anything about it.
00:12:40Oh, boy, I'm going to get you so good for this.
00:12:43I'm going to be backstage with a bunch of size zero models, and I'm already being punished.
00:12:48There they are, the happy couple.
00:12:50Oh, Jeffrey, this is Abigail Miller from Appliqué Magazine.
00:12:52Hi.
00:12:53Your Highness.
00:12:54She has graciously offered to help with the news you've got.
00:12:57Wonderful.
00:12:57You know it's a benefit for the Royal Family Foundation, which funds a number of youth programs,
00:13:03scholarships, on-the-job.
00:13:04Jeffrey, she doesn't need the sales pitch she's already agreed.
00:13:08I'm not.
00:13:08Any assistance you can give will help a lot of people.
00:13:12Well, we're all about helping, and we want to make sure that we do anything we can to make you happy.
00:13:18Lady Isabel, I want you to pay special attention tonight to the fashions from Leighton Miller.
00:13:23Oh, fashion talk.
00:13:24That's my cue, excuse me.
00:13:31Oh, Jeffrey!
00:13:32You clumsy man.
00:13:33You've ruined the prince's jacket.
00:13:35No, no, no.
00:13:36It was all my fault.
00:13:37Are you okay?
00:13:38I'm so sorry.
00:13:39Fine, thank you.
00:13:40Yes, your jacket has taken quite a hit, Your Highness.
00:13:43Oh, dear.
00:13:45Ladies, you'll have to excuse me when I go try to make myself a little more presentable.
00:13:49Right.
00:13:52Oh, dear.
00:13:53I'm afraid this is not going to work, Your Highness.
00:14:05Yes, I think the shrimp cocktail won this round.
00:14:08I'll go check with the hotel to see if they have something that might get this out.
00:14:12Thank you, Barnaby.
00:14:13I'll wait for you in the hall.
00:14:14I'll wait for you in the hall.
00:14:32Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:14:46Oh, I'm sorry.
00:14:47No, I'm...
00:14:48You.
00:14:51What are you doing here?
00:14:54Actually, I'm...
00:14:55Oh, I get it.
00:14:56You're a messenger by day, a catered waiter at night.
00:15:00Very perceptive, Caitlin.
00:15:02I know you're trying to make it in this business, but this is not the way to do it.
00:15:05All right.
00:15:07What would you suggest?
00:15:08Do you have an agent or a manager, someone that looks out for you?
00:15:11Yes.
00:15:12His name's Barnaby.
00:15:13Great.
00:15:14Well, then, he needs to be out making contacts on your behalf.
00:15:16You need to make him work for you.
00:15:18Because the chances of you meeting someone important here are pretty slim.
00:15:22I met you.
00:15:24Right.
00:15:25Well, if you think that I'm important, you really do need help.
00:15:32I do know all of the great modeling agencies in this town, and I'm sure that one would be happy to sit down and talk with you.
00:15:42You would do that for me?
00:15:44I know what it's like to want to be something more than you are.
00:15:46So, give me a call after the holidays at the magazine.
00:15:52I'm not giving you my number.
00:15:53I didn't ask.
00:15:54By the way, the dress is beautiful.
00:15:57You look lovely.
00:16:00I'm still not giving you my number.
00:16:02Oh, Caitlin should be any minute.
00:16:09I think she's...
00:16:10I'm here.
00:16:10I'm sorry.
00:16:11It's about time.
00:16:12We should start the show.
00:16:13I know.
00:16:13I'm sorry.
00:16:14Hello, Lady Isabel.
00:16:15Caitlin, your dress is stunning.
00:16:18This is exactly the sort of thing I'd like to wear to the New Year's Eve party.
00:16:22Where did you get it?
00:16:24Actually, I...
00:16:25Did you take it from the office?
00:16:27Was that one of our spring line?
00:16:28Caitlin designed it.
00:16:30Doris.
00:16:32You did?
00:16:33Caitlin, this is gorgeous.
00:16:36Do you have others?
00:16:37I'd love to wear something like it to my party.
00:16:39What now?
00:16:40Yes, she has lots of other designs.
00:16:43Wouldn't you like to wait until you see the show this evening?
00:16:46Oh, well, certainly.
00:16:47But if Caitlin's other designs are this good...
00:16:49Caitlin, shall we meet tomorrow to go over what you have?
00:16:55Yeah, sure.
00:16:56That would be great.
00:16:57Twist me.
00:16:58Your location in a time.
00:17:00I'll be there.
00:17:00Great.
00:17:01Abigail, I didn't...
00:17:05We just need to get the show started.
00:17:07Right.
00:17:07I'll go tell the stage man.
00:17:08No, I want you to go backstage with Doris.
00:17:10And you help Leighton.
00:17:12And I want you to stay there.
00:17:14Everything has to go smoothly.
00:17:16Okay.
00:17:16I can do that.
00:17:17I want you to stay there.
00:17:19I want you to stay there.
00:17:20That just happened.
00:17:22Lady, it's about to be wearing one of your dresses when the prince asks her to marry him.
00:17:25I don't even know what to do with that.
00:17:28Abigail does not look very happy.
00:17:29No, who cares?
00:17:30Who cares?
00:17:31She's my boss.
00:17:32What if she fires me?
00:17:33She is not going to fire you.
00:17:34She just exiled you backstage.
00:17:35Although, I guess this means you're not going to get to meet the prince.
00:17:38Oh, I am so okay with that.
00:17:40I've had enough fairy tale for one evening.
00:17:46Here you are, your highness.
00:17:47Oh, thank you, Barnaby.
00:18:10Oh, hello?
00:18:12Could someone find my phone?
00:18:13Hi, that's my phone.
00:18:16Yes, it is.
00:18:17Hello, Caitlin.
00:18:18Wait.
00:18:20Is this...
00:18:21Jeff?
00:18:23You said you weren't going to give me your phone number.
00:18:26And technically I didn't.
00:18:28I just gave you my entire phone, it seems.
00:18:30I suppose you want it back?
00:18:32Yes, please.
00:18:33I can come to you.
00:18:34No, no.
00:18:36My place is a mess.
00:18:38I was heading out shortly soon.
00:18:39I could drop it by.
00:18:40Really?
00:18:41That would be great.
00:18:42I need to get ready for a meeting.
00:18:44I'll text my address to the phone.
00:18:46All right, then.
00:18:46See you soon.
00:18:53So, wait.
00:18:55A future princess wants one of your designs,
00:18:57and a cute model answers your phone when you call it?
00:19:00You should buy a lottery ticket, right?
00:19:02Speaking of future princess, I have to call Lady Isabel.
00:19:09Yes, that would work perfectly.
00:19:12I'll see you then.
00:19:15That was the designer that I told you about last night.
00:19:17Designer?
00:19:18Yes, the one with the dress that I liked so much.
00:19:22I have a few errands, John, first.
00:19:23Perhaps we can meet for lunch.
00:19:25Sounds lovely.
00:19:25Where are you off to, dressed so casually?
00:19:31I'm returning a lost mobile.
00:19:33Oh.
00:19:33Why don't you have another star to do it?
00:19:35I'm sure...
00:19:35No, no, no, no, no.
00:19:36I'd rather do it myself.
00:19:38Why?
00:19:39That's not the sort of thing a prince should be doing.
00:19:41That's why.
00:19:42I like the idea of doing things regular people do.
00:19:48Yes, but we're not regular people.
00:19:50Doesn't that bother you a little?
00:19:52No, not in the slightest.
00:20:01Well, I like the idea of being regular every now and then.
00:20:07See you at lunch?
00:20:08Yes.
00:20:12Lady Isabel will be here in a couple of hours.
00:20:18Lady Isabel, that is so cool.
00:20:20See, I knew it would just take someone with taste seeing your work.
00:20:23Oh, she definitely has taste.
00:20:25She is so elegant.
00:20:26I feel like a bull in a china shop around her.
00:20:28Did you even see the prince?
00:20:29No.
00:20:30Abigail didn't let me come out front by the time they left.
00:20:33Well, maybe he'll come with her.
00:20:35Mm-hmm.
00:20:38Oh.
00:20:40We need to straighten up.
00:20:42Yeah, it might just be easier if we moved.
00:20:46Oh, oh, ow.
00:20:47Kitchen.
00:20:59Are you sure you don't want me to return the phone, Your Highness?
00:21:02No, this will just take a minute.
00:21:04You were right.
00:21:16We meet again, and I am indeed embarrassed.
00:21:18This isn't precisely what I meant, but...
00:21:21Hello?
00:21:23Hello?
00:21:25Oh, Doris, this is Jeff.
00:21:27Jeff, this is my roommate, Doris.
00:21:29Lovely to meet you.
00:21:29Why do you look so familiar?
00:21:34You must have been in a magazine or something.
00:21:36I've been in a few years.
00:21:39Well, that must be it then.
00:21:41Anyway, thank you again for returning this.
00:21:44Can I give you a reward or something?
00:21:46No, no.
00:21:46It's not necessary.
00:21:47You came all the way down here.
00:21:49Really?
00:21:50It was no bother.
00:21:52Maybe you could buy him a cup of coffee.
00:21:56We need to get our place ready for our visitor, remember?
00:21:59Well, I can take care of that, and you want a cup of coffee, don't you, Jeff?
00:22:03Well, as a matter of fact, I do.
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11I shall get my coat then.
00:22:15Oh, yeah.
00:22:16I'll need to help you.
00:22:19You know that this is just me saying thank you.
00:22:25We're not.
00:22:27Oh, no.
00:22:28Of course not.
00:22:30Besides, I'm seeing someone, so no ulterior motives.
00:22:34Okay.
00:22:36Doris, I'll see you later.
00:22:38Nothing to meet you.
00:22:39You too.
00:22:40Have fun.
00:22:44Oh, my.
00:22:47Okay.
00:22:49Oh, my God.
00:23:14Okay.
00:23:14Oh, my God.
00:23:16Okay.
00:23:16Oh, my God.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:18Oh, my God.
00:23:19There you go.
00:23:30Mmm.
00:23:32This is good coffee.
00:23:34I'll have to remember this place.
00:23:36Well, there's one on, like, every four blocks, so it won't be hard.
00:23:41Shall we sit?
00:23:45Sure.
00:23:45We don't have these, Econome.
00:23:55You don't?
00:23:56I thought you were from Britain.
00:23:59Your accent.
00:23:59No.
00:24:00No, I'm from a small country in Europe.
00:24:04Most people have never heard of it.
00:24:05I'm only in New York for a short while.
00:24:07Oh, well.
00:24:08How are you liking it so far?
00:24:09How are you liking it so far?
00:24:10I love it.
00:24:12It's so energetic and colorful.
00:24:15There's just so much to do.
00:24:17Why, yesterday, I took the subway.
00:24:22You've never ridden the subway?
00:24:24No.
00:24:25It was amazing.
00:24:26It was a little crowded, and there were some unusual smells, but, uh, besides that, it was quite an adventure.
00:24:36It can be.
00:24:37Maybe next time you can take a cab.
00:24:40Uh-huh.
00:24:40So, what is it like working in fashion?
00:24:45It seems so glamorous.
00:24:46I'm just an assistant, so I haven't really experienced the glamour part of it all yet.
00:24:52Yet?
00:24:52What are your aspirations?
00:24:54I want to be a designer.
00:24:57I mean, I am a designer.
00:24:59I just haven't had much success in it yet.
00:25:01But I'm hoping that that's all about to change.
00:25:04Really?
00:25:04I have this amazing opportunity.
00:25:07I don't want to talk too much about it because I don't want to jinx it, but it could really be a new beginning for me.
00:25:12That's exciting.
00:25:13Not as exciting as riding the subway.
00:25:16No.
00:25:17No, it's not.
00:25:21So, you said you're seeing somebody?
00:25:23Yes.
00:25:24For a couple years, huh?
00:25:26I'm serious.
00:25:27Yes.
00:25:28There may be an engagement soon.
00:25:31Really?
00:25:32You decided how you're going to pop the question?
00:25:34It's actually been decided for me.
00:25:37How does that happen?
00:25:39It's a tradition of sorts.
00:25:41All the men in my family have proposed just before the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
00:25:46Good.
00:25:46That's so romantic.
00:25:48It's supposed to symbolize a fresh start.
00:25:51A new beginning, so to speak.
00:25:53Two lives becoming one.
00:25:55That's crazy romantic.
00:25:58Totally stealing that when I get engaged.
00:26:00Is that happening soon?
00:26:02Considering I'm not even dating anybody, no.
00:26:06Not this New Year's Eve, that's for sure.
00:26:08There will be more.
00:26:10You know, I hear they have one every year.
00:26:12Well, this is me.
00:26:17So, thank you for rescuing my phone, which I must have left upstairs.
00:26:23I'd leave that everywhere.
00:26:24It's like a sickness.
00:26:25I really need help.
00:26:26Perhaps that could be your New Year's resolution.
00:26:28You know, it's almost as good as getting engaged at the stroke of midnight.
00:26:31Thanks again.
00:26:34Good luck.
00:26:34Geoffrey.
00:26:35Isabel, what are you doing here?
00:26:37Well, I told you I was meeting with the designer, Caitlin.
00:26:40Wait, you're...
00:26:41Is everything all right, Your Highness?
00:26:44Hiya?
00:26:45He's the prince.
00:26:46He's the...
00:26:47He's the prince.
00:26:47Oh, Geoffrey, you should be ashamed of yourself for not telling her who you really are.
00:27:01I know.
00:27:02I'm truly sorry.
00:27:04No problem.
00:27:05Your Excellency?
00:27:09You call him Your Highness.
00:27:11Please, just call me Geoffrey.
00:27:12Not Geoff?
00:27:14Um, now, Geoff is busy with his modelling career.
00:27:19You'll have to forgive him.
00:27:20He enjoys his anonymity here.
00:27:22Perhaps a little too much.
00:27:23Certainly.
00:27:24Anyway, I believe it's fate bringing us all together.
00:27:28Caitlin, your designs are lovely.
00:27:30Oh, thank you, Doris.
00:27:31You're welcome, Your Highness.
00:27:32Oh, uh, your soon-to-be Highness?
00:27:34Lady Isabella is just fine.
00:27:36Okay.
00:27:39Oh.
00:27:41Oh, this is it.
00:27:44Elegant and romantic.
00:27:46I-I love it.
00:27:47You really like that one?
00:27:48I do.
00:27:49I love it.
00:27:50It'd make me feel like a princess.
00:27:52Metaphorically speaking, of course.
00:27:54What do you need to have it done by New Year's Eve?
00:27:56Doris, would-would you help?
00:27:59Uh, make a dress for a lady?
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:01Uh, yes.
00:28:02Great.
00:28:03Well, then we just need to talk measurements and fabric.
00:28:05Wonder.
00:28:05I believe that's our cue, Barnaby.
00:28:07Yes, Your Highness.
00:28:11Isabelle?
00:28:11I'll see you at lunch.
00:28:13All right, darling.
00:28:15Again, I'm sorry.
00:28:17You did warn me not to be embarrassed.
00:28:24Okay, let's get started.
00:28:26I will grab the measuring tape.
00:28:27All right.
00:28:27Well, it's official.
00:28:36Isabelle's going to wear Caitlin's dress.
00:28:39Mom, it's okay.
00:28:41No, it is not okay.
00:28:43This is your opportunity, not Caitlin's.
00:28:47She stole your shot.
00:28:48She didn't steal anything.
00:28:51Lady Isabelle liked her dress, and I don't blame her.
00:28:53It was beautiful.
00:28:54I am the editor-in-chief of one of the leading fashion magazines in the world.
00:28:59I decide what is beautiful and what isn't.
00:29:02Well, there's nothing we can do about it now, because she's already made up her mind.
00:29:07Well, maybe we can get her to change her mind.
00:29:14Especially if Caitlin can't deliver.
00:29:17I hate it when your eyes do that.
00:29:18It usually means you're plotting something.
00:29:20You know, it's going to take a lot of work helping the prince and Lady Isabelle plan the New Year's Eve party.
00:29:27Far too much work for me by myself.
00:29:31But, luckily, I have an assistant.
00:29:35But, Mom, if you load Caitlin up with party planning, then she's never going to be able to work on the dress.
00:29:39Yes, sure, but...
00:29:56Okay, but...
00:29:57Happy to do it.
00:30:01Now I have to plan the New Year's Eve party, too.
00:30:03What? Why?
00:30:04Because Abigail says so.
00:30:06I'm supposed to meet the prince and Lady Isabelle this afternoon for a catering audition?
00:30:10Okay, free food and a handsome prince?
00:30:13I'm sorry, what's her problem again?
00:30:14He didn't tell me that he was a prince.
00:30:17Princes should be required to identify themselves.
00:30:20They should have to wear, like, a name tag or a badge.
00:30:23He did say he was sorry.
00:30:24What if I said something that would have caused an international incident,
00:30:27and now I need to work on the party with him?
00:30:29How am I supposed to do that and get the dress ready in time?
00:30:32We'll figure it out.
00:30:33This is crazy.
00:30:34Yesterday I was living a normal life, and now today I'm somehow mixed up with royalty.
00:30:39Well, if it's a choice between royalty and normal, I'll choose royalty any day.
00:30:44You don't know that.
00:30:45Yeah, I do.
00:30:46Royalty comes with a castle.
00:30:57I'm officially addicted to this coffee, and it is all your fault.
00:31:01Thank you, your highness.
00:31:03Geoffrey is fine.
00:31:05Is Lady Isabel coming?
00:31:07No, we're dividing and conquering.
00:31:09It was this or choosing centerpieces, and I thought food was much more in my wheelhouse.
00:31:15Oh, that is wonderful.
00:31:24You don't get out much, do you?
00:31:27I told you.
00:31:28It was fine.
00:31:29Tell me it was because you were a prince.
00:31:32Yes, but remember, you said you wouldn't be embarrassed.
00:31:35But I was.
00:31:37You made me feel like...
00:31:39Caitlin, I...
00:31:40I liked being just Jeff for a little while.
00:31:45It was nice talking to someone who treated me as a person instead of just a prince.
00:31:53I didn't mean to hurt or embarrass you.
00:31:56I hope you can forgive me.
00:31:57Well, I presume that this is all for us.
00:32:05Yes, well, they gave us lots of options.
00:32:08It appears they gave us all options.
00:32:11Let's see what we have.
00:32:13Mera with framboi coulisse.
00:32:16Sounds interesting.
00:32:17Does it?
00:32:18Not bad?
00:32:26Nope.
00:32:28Okay.
00:32:29Well, we'll put that in the maybe column.
00:32:33So, the next one.
00:32:36Artisanal seaweed and oyster croquettes.
00:32:39Sounds interesting.
00:32:40Mm-hmm.
00:32:48An intriguing combination.
00:32:56Do you eat fancy stuff like this all the time?
00:32:58No, no, not always.
00:33:00Last week, we had a simple duck confit with pinevilles.
00:33:05That simple?
00:33:06Yes, why?
00:33:07What do you eat?
00:33:08Food.
00:33:09Like, real food.
00:33:12You know, the kind of stuff Jeff would eat.
00:33:14Yes, well, Jeff is not throwing a New Year's Eve bowl.
00:33:18Tended by people who expect fancy things like this.
00:33:21Yes, well, you know, I think deep down, everybody just wants a good, juicy hot dog.
00:33:29Hmm.
00:33:30Do you know what?
00:33:32Hmm.
00:33:32That does sound good.
00:33:35Mm-hmm.
00:33:46This is remarkable.
00:33:48Right?
00:33:49That's so much better than pinevilles.
00:33:51Best hot dogs in the city.
00:33:52Life-changing.
00:33:55You live in such a strange world.
00:33:57I know.
00:33:57I mean, strange to me.
00:33:59I just, I could never fit in with your friends.
00:34:02Most of them are hangers-on.
00:34:04They like the idea of being in proximity to royalty.
00:34:08So then why invite them to your party?
00:34:10The ball is a fundraiser for the Royal Families Foundation.
00:34:13They'd be sponsored scholarships and after-school programs for admissions.
00:34:17You'd be shocked at the statistics of it.
00:34:23Sorry.
00:34:24I've been accused of getting a little carried away when I'm talking about the Foundation.
00:34:32I think there's a difference between carried away and caring.
00:34:35You're passionate about it.
00:34:37There's nothing wrong with that.
00:34:38I love it when I get a chance to make a real difference in people's lives.
00:34:43So these hangers-on, they just write big chants to come to your party?
00:34:47Well, no.
00:34:48We auction off pieces of artwork from the Royal Collector.
00:34:51Should be arriving tomorrow.
00:34:53Really?
00:34:54Yes.
00:34:55I used to be an art teacher.
00:34:58Art teacher?
00:34:59It's a dress design.
00:35:00Why, but that's an interesting story.
00:35:02Why don't you come by the mansion tomorrow and tell me all about it?
00:35:06If a prince is asking me to do something, am I allowed to say no?
00:35:12Absolutely.
00:35:13Of course, I could have you thrown into a dungeon for it, but...
00:35:16Who could say no?
00:35:18I should, um, I should probably get going.
00:35:25We only have four days to get the dress ready for Lady Isabel.
00:35:28Right.
00:35:28We wouldn't want to disappoint her.
00:35:30No.
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:41Hey.
00:35:42Hey.
00:35:43How was it?
00:35:44It was...
00:35:46not terrible.
00:35:48That's good, right?
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:52Yeah.
00:35:53It is.
00:35:55What can I do?
00:35:57Make some coffee.
00:35:58It's gonna be a long night.
00:36:15Good morning.
00:36:16I'm good.
00:36:17Doing it.
00:36:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no, stop, stop.
00:36:19Oh, yeah, you're doing this wrong.
00:36:21No.
00:36:23No, I'm so sorry.
00:36:24No, it's okay.
00:36:24It's okay.
00:36:25It's an easy fix.
00:36:27Are you up all night?
00:36:28No.
00:36:29Maybe.
00:36:31What's the date?
00:36:32It's the 28th.
00:36:34It's three days until the ball.
00:36:36Actually, that's only, like, two days until the fitting.
00:36:40There's so much to do for the party.
00:36:42There's so much to do.
00:36:43Abigail, she just keeps going.
00:36:48Keep requests.
00:36:49Like, how is this supposed to happen?
00:36:51Okay, okay.
00:36:51Caitlin, Caitlin, just relax.
00:36:54Okay?
00:36:54I'll call in sick to work today.
00:36:56It'll be fine.
00:36:57No, I cannot ask you to do that.
00:36:59It's okay.
00:36:59I want to.
00:37:00Unless, of course, you want to trade places and I'll go look at fabulous works of art with
00:37:05the handsome prince.
00:37:06Not like that.
00:37:07We're just planning a party.
00:37:08I don't care what it's like.
00:37:09In my head, this is the perfect princess fantasy.
00:37:12Only it's, it's you instead of me.
00:37:15But I'm good with living vicariously.
00:37:18Okay, please, Doris.
00:37:19Between the dress and the party and the whole prince thing, it's stressful enough.
00:37:25Now, let's not make this something that it doesn't need to be.
00:37:27All right.
00:37:29Abigail.
00:37:34Hello, Abigail.
00:37:37I know.
00:37:39Yep, I know.
00:37:40I know.
00:37:40Okay, I'll be right there.
00:37:44Go.
00:37:45I got this.
00:37:47Okay, I'm going.
00:37:53You know you're not actually moving, right?
00:37:55Yep.
00:37:59You're late.
00:38:06I know.
00:38:06I'm sorry.
00:38:07Oh, that's all right.
00:38:07They have just started to unpack the artwork, so.
00:38:09Good.
00:38:10Caitlin, I'm not giving you too much work, am I?
00:38:12No.
00:38:12No, not at all.
00:38:13Everything should be done in time.
00:38:14Should be.
00:38:17Isabel, perhaps we should talk about an alternative for you.
00:38:19It will be done.
00:38:21Everything will be done in time.
00:38:23Well, what about the party?
00:38:23You're not going to drop the ball on that, are you?
00:38:25No.
00:38:26The music, the food, the flowers.
00:38:28And we're reviewing the artwork this morning.
00:38:30I think Caitlin has everything well in hand.
00:38:32I'm sure she does.
00:38:33Well, Abigail and I are off to find fabulous things together with my fabulous dress.
00:38:38And afterwards, perhaps we can go over seating charts for the party.
00:38:41Sounds great.
00:38:41Wonderful.
00:38:43So, goodbye.
00:38:50Shall we?
00:38:51Well, we have a little time before they're ready for us to look at anything, so.
00:38:56Coffee?
00:38:58I have so much to do before the ball.
00:39:00I don't know that I have time for coffee.
00:39:02Well, lucky for us.
00:39:04The person throwing the ball does.
00:39:07Don't make me threaten you with the dungeon again.
00:39:11Coffee it is.
00:39:13Okay.
00:39:21Caitlin, you really should relax.
00:39:26It's going to work out just fine.
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29Hope so.
00:39:30You sound unsure.
00:39:33I've never made a dress for a real, live human being other than myself.
00:39:37Well, I have the utmost confidence in you.
00:39:40It has to be special, you know?
00:39:44Especially if you're going to, you know.
00:39:47Ask Isabel to marry me.
00:39:49Yes.
00:39:49Fashion show the other night.
00:39:53That looks spectacular.
00:39:54Oh, yes.
00:39:55Well, Abigail does nothing less than spectacular.
00:39:58It must be real challenging working for someone so exacting.
00:40:04Exacting.
00:40:05That is a word I will have to remember.
00:40:10Now, it's not always a barrel of laughs, but I have learned so much.
00:40:15I mean, it's basically been like a crash course in fashion.
00:40:18Sometimes I feel like the crash test dummy, though.
00:40:23If it's any consolation, I feel like that most days myself.
00:40:26Oh.
00:40:28Is this that point in the conversation where the rich, handsome prince with the beautiful girlfriend
00:40:32is going to tell me how hard his life is?
00:40:34No.
00:40:35No, no, no.
00:40:36My position affords me great luxury and great reward.
00:40:39And I'm not just talking about the palaces.
00:40:41Oh, palaces.
00:40:42More than one?
00:40:44Yes.
00:40:44I can't even keep track.
00:40:47But seriously, it is an honor to be a member of the royal family.
00:40:55The people of our country are hardworking, decent, generous.
00:40:58I hear a bat coming.
00:41:01But a lot of things are decided for you.
00:41:06Like what?
00:41:08Like who your friends are, where you can go to school, and who you shall marry.
00:41:13Excuse me, your highness.
00:41:15There's a call from your father.
00:41:17Take a message.
00:41:18You want me to take a message from the king?
00:41:21Yes, I do.
00:41:26May I take a message, your majesty?
00:41:40I like this for you.
00:41:42Oh, that is quite pretty.
00:41:44I love when designers give me things to wear.
00:41:48What do you think about this?
00:41:54Message received.
00:41:56I just want to give you everything that you want.
00:41:59Whether it's the party or the dress.
00:42:02You seem concerned.
00:42:04Well, Caitlin's never done anything like this before,
00:42:07and it might be a good idea to have a little backup plan.
00:42:11You know, just in case.
00:42:12Oh.
00:42:13What did you have in mind?
00:42:15Oh, well, um...
00:42:17This is just off the top of my head,
00:42:18but many of the dresses in the fashion show are available.
00:42:22Maybe you could look at a few of those and see if anything might do.
00:42:25I mean, just in case something happens with Caitlin's dress.
00:42:30Well, I suppose that isn't a bad idea.
00:42:33Having a backup plan couldn't hurt.
00:42:36Exactly.
00:42:36But I'm sure that Caitlin will come through.
00:42:39It would take something quite big for me to change my mind about that dress.
00:42:50So, wait.
00:42:51The first thing you ever designed was a princess costume.
00:42:56Well, it was for the school play.
00:42:58My mother, bless her heart, she tried so hard,
00:43:00but I took one look at it and went,
00:43:01no, please, let me.
00:43:02How old were you?
00:43:04Uh, six.
00:43:05Brilliant.
00:43:06So that made you want to become a designer?
00:43:09Well, it primarily made me want to become a princess, but yeah.
00:43:13I never thought of it that way.
00:43:15To me, it's always been just clothes.
00:43:18Oh, no, it's so much more than that.
00:43:20Fashion is about expressing ourselves from the inside by what we wear on the outside.
00:43:24So, if fashion was your calling, why the detour into art?
00:43:30I was young and felt like I needed a backup plan.
00:43:33Before I knew it, that backup plan had taken over.
00:43:37So then one day you just decided to change your whole life?
00:43:41Yeah.
00:43:42Believe it or not, it was part of a New Year's resolution.
00:43:46Really?
00:43:46Mm-hmm.
00:43:46You're kidding.
00:43:47No.
00:43:48It was kind of one of those conflu events things.
00:43:51I had broken up with someone that I had been seeing for a while.
00:43:55Nothing dramatic.
00:43:56We just, we wanted different things.
00:43:59Then that started making me think about the other things that I wanted in my life.
00:44:04It was kind of time for a fresh start.
00:44:07I find that quite remarkable.
00:44:14But, of course, you did also say that about the hot dog.
00:44:17Pails in comparison.
00:44:19Oh, wow.
00:44:21I love this one.
00:44:24It is lovely.
00:44:26Here's this sort of average woman, and she's wearing this stunning gown.
00:44:30Look at the way that she's holding her face.
00:44:33Like, she can't believe how beautiful she looks.
00:44:36This is how the dress made her feel.
00:44:38This is what fashion can do.
00:44:41That's her fresh start.
00:44:43That's her fresh start.
00:44:51I think we should go with this china.
00:44:56Okay.
00:44:59I'm not convinced about the flatware, though.
00:45:01Oh, I can have them bring in others and you can see it.
00:45:03Yes.
00:45:04Let's do that.
00:45:05Great.
00:45:06Any update on the dress?
00:45:07It will be ready for your fitting tomorrow.
00:45:09Wonderful.
00:45:10And the art auction?
00:45:11It's all set.
00:45:12The pieces are beautiful.
00:45:15I can't believe they're willing to give them up.
00:45:16Part of being royalty is making tough choices for the greater good.
00:45:22It certainly gives me an insight into the world that most aren't able to appreciate.
00:45:25The extent of royalty and nobility in my family ends with my Uncle Duke.
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:33Being Lady Isabel is much more than just a title I inherited.
00:45:37And should I one day be asked to join the royal family, I consider it a great honor.
00:45:44It's much more than just a childhood fairy tale about becoming a princess.
00:45:48I think you'll make a great princess.
00:45:52I do too.
00:45:53Now, if we could just convince Geoffrey to embrace that.
00:46:01I'm sure he will.
00:46:03Yes.
00:46:04He just needs to focus.
00:46:08Distractions are such a terrible thing.
00:46:10Don't you think?
00:46:20I thought for sure Caitlin would crack under the pressure
00:46:23and that I could swoop in and save the day.
00:46:25Mom, just leave it alone.
00:46:28I can't find one of my dresses that Isabel would want anyway.
00:46:30Well, keep looking.
00:46:32We have to find something that's ready to go before everything comes crashing down.
00:46:36Why would it crash down?
00:46:37Because we're going to give it a little push.
00:46:40Mom, why is this so important to you?
00:46:43Leighton, why isn't this more important to you?
00:46:46Because I want to succeed or fail on my own merits,
00:46:50not because my mother is playing puppet master.
00:46:52My darling, this is a cutthroat business.
00:46:55I am just trying to provide a few advantages.
00:46:58And I appreciate that.
00:46:59But just don't do anything too crazy.
00:47:03I will be the very picture of restraint.
00:47:06Just a little push.
00:47:10Oh, let me see.
00:47:13This could work.
00:47:15Okay, I've got a couple hours, so I need to get back to the mansion.
00:47:22What can I do?
00:47:23Go take a nap.
00:47:25You must be exhausted.
00:47:26It's two days until the bar.
00:47:27I can sleep next year.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:30Grab some beads.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:32Oh, wow.
00:47:35This is beautiful.
00:47:36Well, it's a beautiful design.
00:47:39You know, you and Lady Isabella are almost exactly the same measurements.
00:47:44You should ask for it back after the ball and you can wear it.
00:47:46Where would I wear a dress like this?
00:47:49Yoga?
00:47:50This would be a great yoga dress.
00:47:54No.
00:47:55This dress is definitely made for a princess.
00:47:57Hello, Abigail.
00:48:05Yes, but I'm supposed to...
00:48:07Right, but now?
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:13Okay, I'll be right there.
00:48:16Now there's an emergency at the office with the next issue.
00:48:18I have to go in.
00:48:19What?
00:48:20You know she's trying to overwhelm you, right?
00:48:23Yeah.
00:48:23Now what?
00:48:34Jeffy, what are you doing here?
00:48:36I'm on the way to review the auction brochures.
00:48:39Abigail suggested you should join me.
00:48:41Unless you are sick of me by now.
00:48:44No, I couldn't get sick of you.
00:48:48But I can't.
00:48:49Abigail is making me go into work.
00:48:51She said she wanted you to sign off on the brochures personally.
00:48:56Okay.
00:48:58Would you be able to bring them by the office for me to review?
00:49:00I would.
00:49:01Okay, great.
00:49:02Doris, do you need anything?
00:49:03If I do, I can handle it.
00:49:05Would it help if Barnaby stayed here in case a need arises?
00:49:09That would be amazing if Barnaby doesn't mind.
00:49:12If that's what you want, Your Highness, the driver can take you wherever you need to go.
00:49:17Or, if all of this fails, I'm an old bro at the subway now.
00:49:23Well, thank you again, Barnaby.
00:49:24And Doris, if you need anything, please call.
00:49:27Okay.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:37Well, that was interesting.
00:49:41Quite.
00:49:41Okay, so do you see any other problems?
00:49:53No.
00:49:54Excellent work.
00:49:55I never would have seen half of the arrows.
00:49:58I work in a magazine.
00:49:59It's my job.
00:50:00Well, thank you.
00:50:02You have gone above and beyond on everything.
00:50:06You've been so kind and supportive.
00:50:11You and Isabel, of course.
00:50:15You know, I never, I never really did hear how the two of you met.
00:50:19We were introduced at a ceremony.
00:50:22I can't remember what before.
00:50:26Monarchies love their ceremonies.
00:50:28Oh, yes.
00:50:28Well, they have to use all those scepters.
00:50:30Anyway, she heard that one of our board members was planning on stepping down and was interested
00:50:40in taking over his place.
00:50:43Well, that sounds really nice.
00:50:45Isabel is a lovely woman and I care for her deeply.
00:50:50I feel like there's a bot coming.
00:50:52My father has decided it's time for him to step down and for me to take over the throne.
00:51:01However, he insists that I'm married first.
00:51:07What do you want?
00:51:13Shall I escort you out now?
00:51:15Oh, no, you don't have to do that.
00:51:17Snowball.
00:51:18I need to retrieve Bondi anyway.
00:51:20Right, um, well, in that case, thank you.
00:51:39You know, you can sit down if you want, Barnaby.
00:51:42Thank you, miss, I'm fine.
00:51:43How do you do that?
00:51:45Do what, miss?
00:51:46Just stand there, quietly, not moving.
00:51:49I've had a lot of practice, miss.
00:51:52How long have you worked for the prince?
00:51:54I joined the employee of the royal family when Prince Geoffrey was ten years old.
00:51:59Wow, that's a long time.
00:52:02You must know him pretty well.
00:52:04I'd say so, yes.
00:52:07Seems like a good guy.
00:52:09Yes, he is.
00:52:11And Miss Cadenan seems quite lovely as well.
00:52:15She is.
00:52:15She's the best.
00:52:20Shall I?
00:52:21Uh, sure.
00:52:22Go for it.
00:52:29Barnaby.
00:52:29Hello, Miss Miller.
00:52:31Abigail.
00:52:32Hello, Doris.
00:52:33I came to talk to Caitlin about the party planning.
00:52:35Well, I thought she was at the office with you.
00:52:36Is this Isabel's dress?
00:52:40Yeah, it's not done yet, but that's...
00:52:43She's going to love it.
00:52:47Is that the prince I see?
00:52:52Where?
00:52:53Right there, to the right.
00:52:55I don't see him.
00:52:57I'm sure it's him.
00:52:59Over to the right.
00:53:01I don't think so.
00:53:04Well, maybe I was mistaken.
00:53:08Would you just tell Caitlin that I will speak to her tomorrow?
00:53:11It's only a couple of days until the New Year.
00:53:21Do you have any resolutions?
00:53:23I want to make sure that the foundation is in good shape.
00:53:27Of course, there will be a wedding to plan.
00:53:31Right.
00:53:32What about you?
00:53:33What are your resolutions?
00:53:34Well, I have a few.
00:53:36A million.
00:53:36How about top three?
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:42I want to take more chances.
00:53:45Because quitting your art teacher job to pursue a dream career was playing it safe?
00:53:51That's the thing.
00:53:52You know, I did that and then I started another job that wasn't actually what I wanted.
00:53:57I didn't really start taking chances until...
00:54:03So when?
00:54:04Then, so are you and Isabel, Caitlin?
00:54:09You know, now my design is going to be worn by nobility and featured on the cover of a magazine.
00:54:15What are your other resolutions?
00:54:17The usual.
00:54:18Friendship, love.
00:54:21Silly stuff.
00:54:22Love is not silly.
00:54:25Not if you're doing it correctly, at least.
00:54:26It should be exciting and unexpected.
00:54:32It should come out of nowhere.
00:54:36I hope that'll happen for me someday.
00:54:40I hope so, too.
00:54:41Mom, I got your message.
00:54:54What's going on?
00:54:55Come look.
00:54:59What?
00:55:00Is that Caitlin's dress?
00:55:02The one and only.
00:55:03Until now.
00:55:04What are you talking about?
00:55:09What is the biggest sin in the world of exclusive one-of-a-kind fashions?
00:55:13That they're not one-of-a-kind.
00:55:16Exactly.
00:55:18So what, you're going to have someone make a duplicate?
00:55:21How are you going to do that in two days?
00:55:22We don't have to.
00:55:23We just have to make people think there's another dress.
00:55:26I have someone in the art department working on it, and when they're done, nobody's going to know it isn't real.
00:55:31Okay, I still don't understand.
00:55:34Then we'll have someone publish the photo, and it won't be one-of-a-kind anymore.
00:55:39And Isabel won't want it.
00:55:42And we'll have a Leighton Miller original ready to take its place.
00:55:46Mom, do you remember when I said don't do anything too crazy?
00:55:49Leighton, I am just trying to help you launch your career.
00:55:54Mom, this is not the way I want to become successful.
00:55:58I could never live with myself.
00:56:01Okay.
00:56:07You promise?
00:56:09No more cartoon villain plots?
00:56:13I promise.
00:56:15I promise.
00:56:31Um, well...
00:56:37Have a good evening.
00:56:42You too.
00:56:47Barnaby, shall we?
00:56:49Okay.
00:57:02Let's get to work.
00:57:05What was that?
00:57:09It was what?
00:57:10The whole, have a good evening, then?
00:57:13Well, you too.
00:57:14And that's a stare-at-the-floor-uncomfortably thing that just happened.
00:57:18It didn't happen?
00:57:20Uh, yeah.
00:57:21It really did.
00:57:22Okay, well, maybe spending so much time with him has made it easy to forget that he might be proposing to another woman in 48 hours.
00:57:32You're falling in love with him.
00:57:35No, I'm not.
00:57:37I'm just...
00:57:37Caitlin, I saw how you were looking at him earlier.
00:57:40No, see, that's the thing.
00:57:41I can't do that.
00:57:43It's not right.
00:57:44He was looking at you the same way.
00:57:47Don't say that.
00:57:48Why not?
00:57:49Because he's dating Isabel.
00:57:52And he may be asking her to marry him.
00:57:54But what if he doesn't?
00:57:57Doris, he's a prince.
00:57:58He's gonna be king.
00:57:59I don't fit in that world.
00:58:01It's a fairy tale, and fairy tales don't exist.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:04So, you're not falling in love with him, but...
00:58:08Do you like him?
00:58:09It doesn't matter.
00:58:11Because it's not gonna be me that he's kissing at midnight on New Year's Eve.
00:58:31Is there anything I can do to help with whatever may be troubling you, Your Highness?
00:58:36What makes you think something's troubling me, Barnaby?
00:58:38Because I've known you since you were a child.
00:58:42If I may say so, Your Highness, you've never been very good at disguising your feelings.
00:58:47Something that's landed me in a spot of trouble more than a few times.
00:58:51Do you remember when you were 16, the incident with the car?
00:58:56The one I took without permission and proceeded to knock down an 18th century statue with?
00:59:01That would be the one.
00:59:02I have a vague recollection, yes.
00:59:06What I remember is the look on your face the next time you were driven somewhere.
00:59:11Even though you were traveling in a way that a person of your station is expected to,
00:59:16it's not what you wanted.
00:59:18You wanted to do it your way.
00:59:20Yes, that's true.
00:59:23But look how that turned out.
00:59:25Maybe it was worth the risk.
00:59:27The statue of my great-great-grandfather would likely disagree.
00:59:34If Caitlyn is the...
00:59:34She is.
00:59:35But when I took that car for a drive, somebody could have gotten really hurt.
00:59:43It's not worth the risk.
00:59:44It's not worth the risk.
01:00:44It's perfect.
01:00:50Isabel, you look radiant.
01:00:52I do, don't I?
01:00:53Bravo, Lady Isabel.
01:00:56Thank you, Barnaby.
01:00:57But the real cheers go to Caitlyn.
01:00:59Oh, I couldn't have done it without Doris.
01:01:01Oh.
01:01:02Well, you both deserve the credit.
01:01:03I couldn't be happier.
01:01:04We still have a few small tweaks to make.
01:01:06Let me mark it.
01:01:07They'll be done in time for the party tomorrow.
01:01:09Oh, yeah.
01:01:09This is easy stuff.
01:01:10We'll do this, we'll have it cleaned, and then we'll deliver it in the morning.
01:01:13Oh, wonderful.
01:01:15This is the start of big things for you, I predict.
01:01:21Just excuse me.
01:01:22I'll be right back.
01:01:23Caitlyn?
01:01:43Caitlyn?
01:01:43Are you okay?
01:01:49I'm fine.
01:01:49I'm sorry.
01:01:50I just got a little...
01:01:52Dreams don't come true very often, so it's just a bit overwhelming.
01:01:57If you're overwhelmed by this, imagine what it'll be like when everyone at the party sees
01:02:01the dress.
01:02:02We may have to reassign Barnaby to be your bodyguard.
01:02:06Right.
01:02:07Um, about that.
01:02:09I don't think that going to the party is a great idea for me.
01:02:14Nonsense.
01:02:16You've arranged the entire gala.
01:02:18The staff can run it, and Abigail will be here to make sure.
01:02:21But when your dress makes its debut, everyone will want to speak to you.
01:02:25You will be the center of attention.
01:02:27Yeah, but I shouldn't be.
01:02:29You and Isabel should be.
01:02:31Especially if you're going to...
01:02:35That's good to marry me.
01:02:36Are you going to ask her?
01:02:40Well, it certainly is what everyone's expecting me to do, right?
01:02:45I think that being there would be very hard for me.
01:02:52You're still talking about the dress.
01:02:56Of course we are.
01:02:57And there's nothing else we could be talking about, right?
01:03:02I suppose not.
01:03:04It's a shame.
01:03:05Really.
01:03:07You know, look on the bright side.
01:03:10You got to ride the subway.
01:03:12Yes.
01:03:14Yes, yes, I did.
01:03:15And I had a delicious hot dog.
01:03:17Life-changing, I told you.
01:03:19And what was that cheese on top?
01:03:20No, no one knows.
01:03:21It is best not to ask questions like that.
01:03:23Where did Caitlin go?
01:03:27I wanted to ask her about the ball.
01:03:29Oh, I think she just stepped up to get some air.
01:03:31Oh, is she all right?
01:03:33Oh, I'm sure she'll be fine.
01:03:34These last few days have been great for her.
01:03:37I don't think I've ever seen her this happy.
01:03:39Because of the dress?
01:03:41Yeah.
01:03:41Yes.
01:03:43Because of the dress.
01:03:46Okay.
01:03:47I've got what I need.
01:03:49We'll see you tomorrow.
01:03:50Oh, I'll walk you down.
01:03:51Oh, okay.
01:03:54I demand an answer to this cheese mystery.
01:03:58I could threaten to throw someone in the dungeon if I must.
01:04:00You throw a lot of people in dungeons, do you?
01:04:02Yes, it's amazing.
01:04:03Everybody loves it in my country.
01:04:05There you are.
01:04:07Ah, Isabel, we were just...
01:04:09Thank you again, Caitlin.
01:04:10The dress is simply beautiful.
01:04:12You're welcome.
01:04:13We should get going.
01:04:14Okay, I'll be back this afternoon
01:04:16to go over the placements of the artwork.
01:04:18That's all right, Caitlin.
01:04:19I can take care of it.
01:04:20But why don't you focus on the dress?
01:04:24Okay.
01:04:25Well do.
01:04:25Just give a call if you need anything.
01:04:27You know, Isabel,
01:04:38I could take care of all the details of the ball if you...
01:04:41No, no.
01:04:41We must make sure everything is perfect
01:04:44before my mother and your father arrive.
01:04:47Isabel,
01:04:48I would have thought that by now
01:04:50you would have learned that
01:04:51when it comes to our parents,
01:04:52there is no such thing as perfection.
01:04:55Still, I'll handle it from here on.
01:04:58You need to focus.
01:05:00On what?
01:05:02The future.
01:05:03Our future.
01:05:05This could be a very important evening for us, Jeffrey.
01:05:08Yes, I suppose you're right.
01:05:09You're going to be a king someday.
01:05:12And when that happens,
01:05:14you'll need someone by your side to support you.
01:05:18Someone that is acquainted with that world.
01:05:21Someone who is not all starry-eyed
01:05:24over the fairy tale fantasy of a happily ever after.
01:05:26But don't you want a fairy tale?
01:05:30Don't you want happily ever after?
01:05:31What I want is you.
01:05:33The real you.
01:05:36I know you've been enjoying your anonymity
01:05:39while we've been here in New York.
01:05:42But it's time to say goodbye to Jeff.
01:05:44And return to be who you really are.
01:05:47Prince Jeffrey.
01:05:48You know I only want what's best for you.
01:05:55I care about you.
01:05:57You always say that.
01:06:00What?
01:06:01That we care for each other.
01:06:03Well, it's true, isn't it?
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:05Yes, yes, of course it is.
01:06:08But I just sometimes wonder
01:06:10why we don't say we love each other more often.
01:06:12I'll be in my room if you need me.
01:06:21All right.
01:06:31That is a really beautiful dress.
01:06:34I said that like ten times in the last hour.
01:06:36It doesn't make it any less true.
01:06:40Are you really not going to go to the party?
01:06:43I haven't decided yet.
01:06:45Will Abigail even let you not go to the party?
01:06:48I'm sure she'd love the opportunity
01:06:50to be in the spotlight.
01:06:52Well, you know I love you.
01:06:54And if you don't want to go
01:06:55to the glamorous Royal New Year's Eve party,
01:06:58then I support you 100%.
01:07:00But I am totally going without you.
01:07:05I wouldn't have it any other way.
01:07:07I don't know.
01:07:12How could that be?
01:07:14Oh, I hope it's another prince.
01:07:17Does Geoffrey have a brother?
01:07:18As a matter of fact, he does.
01:07:20Really?
01:07:21So you mean I still have a shot
01:07:23at becoming a princess?
01:07:24Is he single?
01:07:25No.
01:07:26My other son is married with two children.
01:07:28Your other son?
01:07:30Yes, Peter.
01:07:31That would be Geoffrey's brother.
01:07:33So that would make you...
01:07:36King Richard.
01:07:36I apologize for the on-announced visit.
01:07:47Barnaby told me where to find you
01:07:49and I thought it best
01:07:50to expedite a conversation.
01:07:52Oh, it's okay.
01:07:53It's not every day
01:07:54that a king shows up at your doorstep.
01:07:56Well, I hope you don't mind talking here.
01:07:59Oh, not at all.
01:08:00You know, it's probably best
01:08:01we keep Doris away from you.
01:08:02She gets a little excited
01:08:03around royalty.
01:08:05Yes, I gathered that
01:08:06after she attempted to kiss my ring.
01:08:09Sorry.
01:08:10I'll get straight to the point.
01:08:12I came to New York a little early
01:08:13after a call from Lady Isabel.
01:08:16About what?
01:08:17Well, she's concerned
01:08:18that your relationship with Geoffrey
01:08:20may be complicating things between them.
01:08:23No, Your Majesty,
01:08:24it's not like that at all.
01:08:26We've just been planning
01:08:27the New Year's Eve all together.
01:08:28That is it.
01:08:29So you don't have feelings
01:08:31for Geoffrey then?
01:08:32The more pressing question,
01:08:36of course,
01:08:37is whether those feelings
01:08:39are reciprocal.
01:08:43Geoff,
01:08:43Geoffrey is a good man.
01:08:51And he's going to ask
01:08:52Lady Isabel to marry him
01:08:53tomorrow night as well.
01:08:55Good.
01:08:56I'm pleased to hear it.
01:08:57Can I ask you a question?
01:09:00Of course.
01:09:03Have you been happy
01:09:04as king?
01:09:07Leading a nation
01:09:08is about tradition,
01:09:11humility,
01:09:12sacrifice.
01:09:14These are things
01:09:14that last a lifetime.
01:09:17Happiness
01:09:18can be measured in moments.
01:09:23Happiness is fleeting.
01:09:24Doesn't that mean
01:09:26we should hold on
01:09:27to those moments
01:09:27for as long as we can?
01:09:34It has been
01:09:35very nice meeting you, Caitlin.
01:09:37It has been a pleasure
01:09:38meeting you,
01:09:38Your Majesty.
01:09:54Hello, Father.
01:10:04Oh, Geoffrey.
01:10:07You weren't supposed
01:10:07to be here till tomorrow.
01:10:09Yes, well,
01:10:10I thought I'd come
01:10:11a little early,
01:10:11make sure things
01:10:12are still on track.
01:10:13Why wouldn't they be?
01:10:15I spoke with Caitlin
01:10:16Enderby a little while ago.
01:10:18You,
01:10:18you did what?
01:10:20It's all right.
01:10:21Relax, Geoffrey.
01:10:22I didn't banish her
01:10:23from the kingdom.
01:10:24We just talked.
01:10:25About what?
01:10:27The nature of happiness,
01:10:28it seems.
01:10:29What?
01:10:30Never mind.
01:10:31She seems like
01:10:32a lovely young woman.
01:10:33She is.
01:10:34And if circumstances
01:10:35were different,
01:10:36then perhaps...
01:10:38Look,
01:10:40I have been a king
01:10:41for a very long time.
01:10:42I was 18
01:10:43when your grandfather
01:10:44passed away.
01:10:44I know.
01:10:46It's in the history books.
01:10:47Yes.
01:10:47I prefer not to be
01:10:48carried off the throne.
01:10:49I would prefer
01:10:49to step down gracefully.
01:10:52But in order to do that,
01:10:53I need to know
01:10:54that my successor
01:10:55is ready to step up.
01:10:56I know all this, Father.
01:10:57Having a stable king
01:10:58is very important
01:10:59to the country.
01:11:00That's why I married
01:11:01your mother so soon
01:11:02after I became king.
01:11:03And I learned to love her.
01:11:05You don't need
01:11:05to convince me, Father.
01:11:07I'm prepared to step up.
01:11:10But, Father,
01:11:12if circumstances
01:11:13were different...
01:11:14your life is so weird.
01:11:28I know.
01:11:29I mean,
01:11:30it would be so much easier
01:11:31if I thought
01:11:31that Jeffrey would be happy,
01:11:33but...
01:11:34he doesn't love her.
01:11:37I don't think
01:11:37she loves him either.
01:11:39Well, then,
01:11:40do something about it.
01:11:41What can I do?
01:11:42Tell him
01:11:43that you're in love with him.
01:11:44I've known him for four days.
01:11:45I'm not in love with him.
01:11:46Okay, well then,
01:11:47tell him that you're
01:11:47falling in love with him.
01:11:49Tell him that
01:11:49you think he's your soulmate.
01:11:52Tell him that you want
01:11:53to live happily ever after
01:11:54with him because
01:11:55you can't deny
01:11:57that any of that's true.
01:11:59Even if it's true,
01:12:00it doesn't matter.
01:12:03Happily ever afters
01:12:04don't exist,
01:12:05and I don't believe
01:12:05in fairy tales.
01:12:06Look at that dress.
01:12:11That is a fairy tale
01:12:12waiting to come true.
01:12:15But not for me.
01:12:21I'm sorry about my father.
01:12:23Oh, don't worry about it.
01:12:25He's just looking out for you.
01:12:27Stop.
01:12:28Stu.
01:12:29Caitlin,
01:12:30are you sure everything's
01:12:31ready for the pool tomorrow,
01:12:33since you won't be there?
01:12:34Oh, I'm sure.
01:12:35It's going to be
01:12:36wonderful.
01:12:38Well then,
01:12:39thank you for everything.
01:12:41No, thank you.
01:12:43Isabel,
01:12:44we have a huge problem.
01:12:45What's wrong?
01:12:47Look familiar?
01:12:50That's my dress.
01:12:52No, it
01:12:52can't be.
01:12:54Obviously, it is.
01:12:56Caitlin stole someone's design,
01:12:58and she's trying to
01:12:59pass it off as her own.
01:13:00But no, that's
01:13:00that's not true.
01:13:01I am so sorry.
01:13:03But it appears
01:13:04that you are
01:13:05a victim of a hoax.
01:13:06Caitlin.
01:13:07No, I swear to you,
01:13:08Isabel,
01:13:08this is my design.
01:13:10Just stop the act.
01:13:12No one's buying it.
01:13:13There must be
01:13:13some kind of explanation.
01:13:16I don't understand
01:13:17what's happened,
01:13:18but it has.
01:13:20Isabel,
01:13:20if you'll just give
01:13:21Caitlin a chance to...
01:13:22I'm sorry.
01:13:23The idea was
01:13:24to have something original,
01:13:25and regardless
01:13:25of the circumstances,
01:13:26I can't wear this.
01:13:28Well,
01:13:29luckily,
01:13:30you have a backup.
01:13:31You have a
01:13:31Leighton Miller original.
01:13:32Would you like
01:13:34to go try it on now?
01:13:37Oh,
01:13:38and Caitlin?
01:13:39You're fired.
01:13:48Jeffrey,
01:13:48I didn't steal that design.
01:13:50I believe you.
01:13:51You do?
01:13:52Of course.
01:13:53This dress
01:13:53could only have come from you.
01:13:54I'm sorry.
01:13:59Your Highness.
01:14:07Don't try to stop me,
01:14:08Barnaby.
01:14:09I wasn't.
01:14:10I was going to wish you luck.
01:14:15You're going to look
01:14:16amazing in that.
01:14:17Well,
01:14:18I suppose it's good enough.
01:14:20I need to speak to Isabel.
01:14:22Oh,
01:14:23well,
01:14:23we were just talking...
01:14:23Abigail,
01:14:24I don't know what just happened,
01:14:25but I am certain
01:14:26that you were behind it.
01:14:27I suggest you leave quickly
01:14:29before I call the Royal Guard
01:14:30to have you arrested.
01:14:38The Royal Guard
01:14:39can't arrest anyone
01:14:40in this country.
01:14:41I assumed
01:14:42that she wouldn't know that.
01:14:44Well played.
01:14:44Considering the circumstances,
01:14:47I think we should go
01:14:48double-check
01:14:48all the arrangements
01:14:49Caitlin made.
01:14:51I don't think
01:14:52that will be necessary.
01:14:53Jeffrey,
01:14:54I know the two of you
01:14:56became friends
01:14:58over the last few days,
01:14:59but we must ensure
01:15:01that everything
01:15:01goes smoothly tonight.
01:15:04I'm
01:15:05not
01:15:06going to
01:15:08ask you
01:15:09to marry me.
01:15:10What?
01:15:14Isabel,
01:15:15what just happened?
01:15:16Oh,
01:15:16Jeffrey,
01:15:16I can't wear that dress.
01:15:18It's not about the dress.
01:15:19It's not about Caitlin,
01:15:21for that matter.
01:15:21It's about us,
01:15:23you and me.
01:15:25Are you
01:15:25breaking up with me?
01:15:32Isabel,
01:15:33I'm sorry.
01:15:33But what about the throne?
01:15:35Your father will never
01:15:36accept this.
01:15:37Then I'll give up the throne.
01:15:38Oh,
01:15:38Jeffrey.
01:15:39Isabel,
01:15:40you just called
01:15:41the dress
01:15:42good enough.
01:15:44None of this
01:15:45is good enough.
01:15:47And yes,
01:15:47we care about each other,
01:15:49but I
01:15:50don't
01:15:51love you.
01:15:53And I don't think
01:15:54that you love me
01:15:55either.
01:15:57I know that
01:15:58I can't just be
01:16:00a regular person,
01:16:01but
01:16:01if Happily Ever After
01:16:03exists,
01:16:05then I want
01:16:06to find it.
01:16:07Doris,
01:16:26I need to speak
01:16:27to Caitlin.
01:16:28It's too late.
01:16:30What do you mean?
01:16:31She's gone.
01:16:33She took a bunch
01:16:33of her stuff
01:16:34and left.
01:16:35Gone where?
01:16:37She went to go
01:16:38stay with her folks.
01:16:40I don't think
01:16:40she's coming back.
01:16:43I see.
01:16:45Well,
01:16:47if you speak
01:16:49to her,
01:16:50tell her,
01:16:52tell her
01:16:54thank you
01:16:55for the hot dogs.
01:16:57They were
01:16:57indeed life-changing.
01:16:58What does that mean?
01:17:20It means goodbye.
01:17:21Goodbye.
01:17:25Come here.
01:17:26Barnaby,
01:17:40I'm going
01:17:41to spend
01:17:42some time
01:17:42with the staff
01:17:43to make sure
01:17:44everything's in place
01:17:44for the ball this evening.
01:17:46Yes,
01:17:46Your Highness.
01:17:47Your father
01:17:47has gone out.
01:17:48He asked me to tell you
01:17:49he wishes to speak
01:17:50to you when he returns.
01:17:51Right.
01:17:52Yes.
01:17:53Is it childish
01:17:54of me
01:17:55to put that off
01:17:55as long as possible?
01:17:57Not at all,
01:17:58Your Highness.
01:18:00And I need you
01:18:01to run an errand
01:18:02for me.
01:18:03Certainly?
01:18:04Please deliver this
01:18:05to Doris.
01:18:07Ask her
01:18:07if she'll send it
01:18:08to Caitlin
01:18:09at her parents'
01:18:09home in Connecticut.
01:18:12Sir,
01:18:12if I may.
01:18:14Perhaps you should
01:18:15deliver this in person.
01:18:17Connecticut
01:18:17isn't far.
01:18:18I didn't get a chance
01:18:19to say a proper goodbye.
01:18:21I don't know
01:18:23if I could do that
01:18:23in person.
01:18:26Please, Barnaby.
01:18:41Doris ratted me out,
01:18:42huh?
01:18:44I promised
01:18:45to ask the king
01:18:47to make her a duchess.
01:18:50I always liked you, Barnaby.
01:18:53I, uh,
01:18:54have something for you.
01:18:56Great.
01:18:57Isabella's suing me?
01:18:58No, it's from...
01:18:59Miss Caitlin,
01:19:03may I ask you
01:19:04a rather personal question?
01:19:06Sure.
01:19:08When did you realize
01:19:09you liked him?
01:19:13Here.
01:19:14Here.
01:19:14Coffee shop
01:19:17after he returned
01:19:17my phone?
01:19:20He was telling me
01:19:22how you ridden
01:19:23the subway,
01:19:24and it was
01:19:26this incredible journey,
01:19:27and so joyful.
01:19:31I thought how nice
01:19:32it would be
01:19:32to have someone
01:19:33that could experience
01:19:34that kind of joy
01:19:35in my life.
01:19:35what's this?
01:19:49Invitation to the
01:19:49ball tonight.
01:19:50Barnaby,
01:19:51I can't go to bed.
01:19:52Prince Jeffrey
01:19:53will not be proposing
01:19:54to Lady Isabel tonight.
01:19:56What?
01:19:58He didn't do that
01:19:59because...
01:19:59No, no, no.
01:20:00It wasn't because of you.
01:20:01He did that for himself.
01:20:03And for Lady Isabel,
01:20:04he did that, I think.
01:20:07I'm proud of him.
01:20:09I'm happy for him.
01:20:12I still can't go
01:20:13to that ball.
01:20:14Why not?
01:20:15Because I like
01:20:16being in that world
01:20:17for a little.
01:20:19It's fun.
01:20:20You know,
01:20:21princes and kings
01:20:22and fairy tale gowns
01:20:25made for princesses,
01:20:26but...
01:20:27fairy tales aren't real.
01:20:31They're not for people
01:20:32like me.
01:20:34Caitlin,
01:20:35we are approaching
01:20:36the new year.
01:20:38It's a time of wishes
01:20:39and dreams
01:20:40and hopes
01:20:40for what lies ahead.
01:20:42Anything is possible.
01:20:44Even if I wanted to go,
01:20:46I don't have anything to wear.
01:20:48You designed a dress
01:20:49fit for a princess.
01:20:52It would be a shame
01:20:53for it not to be worn.
01:20:54Thank you, Barnaby.
01:21:06Thank you, Barnaby.
01:21:06Thank you, Barnaby.
01:21:19Father.
01:21:41Father.
01:21:44Geoffrey, I went to check on Isabel this morning.
01:21:47And imagine my surprise when I found out that she was not coming to the ball.
01:21:51Because you broke up with her.
01:21:52We don't love each other.
01:21:54We had a deal.
01:21:55This was part of you taking the throne.
01:21:57I don't want the throne.
01:21:58What?
01:21:58Give it to Peter.
01:22:00At least one of your sons won't be a disappointment.
01:22:02Geoffrey, you are not a disappointment.
01:22:04A frustration, perhaps, but not a disappointment.
01:22:08Is this about Caitlin?
01:22:09No.
01:22:10I mean, not like that.
01:22:12But she showed me it's not about the titles or the fancy clothes we wear.
01:22:17It's about what makes us truly happy.
01:22:19And does she make you happy?
01:22:21Very much so.
01:22:24Well, as a wise young woman once said,
01:22:28you should hold on to happiness for as long as you can.
01:22:32But the circumstances...
01:22:33Well, I created the circumstances.
01:22:36I can change them.
01:22:37Are you sure?
01:22:38I'm the king.
01:22:39I can do whatever I like.
01:22:41Ha, ha, ha.
01:22:46Your Majesty.
01:22:49Isabel.
01:22:50Geoffrey.
01:22:52Aren't you going to ask me to dance?
01:22:54For old times' sake.
01:22:55Of course.
01:23:05I have a New Year's resolution.
01:23:08Would you like to hear it?
01:23:09Very much so.
01:23:10I shouldn't settle for good enough anymore.
01:23:13Neither of us should.
01:23:15That's a good resolution.
01:23:17And maybe there really is a fairy tale out there waiting to come true for both of us.
01:23:21I haven't found mine yet.
01:23:23But you may have found yours.
01:23:25And I can't be the one to keep you from it.
01:23:28I care about you too much.
01:23:31I want to see you.
01:23:32I want to be the one to keep you from bitching.
01:23:44You have some nerve showing up here.
01:24:05Mom, leave her alone.
01:24:07Leighton.
01:24:08Keitlin, I am really sorry about everything.
01:24:10She took a picture of your dress, then had the magazine's art department mock up that picture for the paper.
01:24:15Why are you telling me this?
01:24:17Because I'm hoping maybe you'll show me how you can come up with something so beautiful.
01:24:23And maybe give me tickets to your first show.
01:24:26You really think that I can have a show?
01:24:28Well, I know you will.
01:24:29Because Appliqué magazine is going to sponsor it.
01:24:32Isn't that right, Mom?
01:24:33Well, I can't just...
01:24:34Mom, can you really just stand there and tell me that this dress isn't amazing?
01:24:44It's very nice.
01:24:46Thank you, Abigail.
01:24:50And if you would like your job back...
01:24:54No, but thank you.
01:24:56It's almost midnight.
01:24:58It's time for a fresh start.
01:25:00May I have this dance?
01:25:12I would love to.
01:25:13You look beautiful.
01:25:26For what?
01:25:27For helping me to believe in fairy tales again.
01:25:30What about the tradition of proposing on New Year's Eve?
01:25:35I've heard they have one every year.
01:25:38If you're not busy...
01:25:40I'm not busy.
01:25:41Six, five, four, three, two, one...
01:25:49Happy New Year!
01:26:01Happy New Year!
01:26:02Happy New Year!
01:26:11Happy New Year!
