♪ Whoa, gotta get to you now
♪ I need you somehow, some way
♪ Whoa, you're my blue heaven
♪ I need you right now
♪ To make it okay
You're gonna be late you know,
I know,,,
-Let me do this, -I've got it!
Callie, we're partners, this is why I'm here,
Your family is waiting!
We've been doing family dinner every Sunday since,,,
I can remember,
They can wait a few more minutes!
Or are you just stalling?
Why on earth would I be doing that?
Because your family is--
--moderately to severely overwhelming
and sometimes smothering to me?
I believe that's a direct quote you've used before, yes,
Well that's got nothing to do with it,
I love my family,
Do they raise my blood pressure the moment I walk in the door?
Possibly,
Hey!
Sorry,,,
I couldn't help it,
I'm too good to you,
Yes, too much good,
Uh huh,
Go, before traffic hits,
Thank you, Mia,
Oh, the Patricks wanted to add a cold appetizer,
something in the skewer family?
It wasn't in their original order, but--
--I saw the changes too,
I've got it covered,
I'll see you tomorrow,
Say hi to your parents for me!
They owe me a game night soon!
They're my parents, not yours!
Tough, they love me too!
[robotic voice] █ Focus on the breath,,,
follow it in,,,
and out,,,
Whenever you find your mind racing,
just return to the breath,,,
and,,, we're done!
This completes your 15 second meditation,
Have a wonderful and relaxing day,
-Hi Callie! -Hi hon!
-Come in, -We've been waiting for you,
Hurry up!
It's go time,
Hello?
Honey, you're here!
Aunt Callie!
Hi C,J,, my favorite little niece!
What dessert did you bring?
I brought snickerdoodles, my fine little lady,
That's what I was hoping you'd bring!
Well perfect!
We'll take those away to the kitchen,
Hi, Mom,
Hi, hon,
How are you guys?
Well, you know me,
I've been fluttering about like a butterfly,
I've been doing a lot of things with the house,
Did you notice?
No, I just got in the front door, Mom,
Well, you'll see it,
Your dad's so happy that you're here,
We do this every week!
I know, but he loves everyone under the same roof,
That's why he started this tradition in the first place,
Your father must have been a sheep dog in another life,
How can you say that?
Hi, Dad!
I'm a sheep dog in this life,
Oh boy, here we go,,,
Photo time!
It's your college years this week,
Look at that!
The first traditional Sunday family dinner,
Look at all those smiles,
How did my hair ever get so blonde?
I don't know, but it's the same color
in these next pictures too, of your birthday!
Which is coming up again!
You guys know I don't care about birthdays,
They're no big deal!
Well, it's a big deal to me,
The day's not only special to you, you know,
I just don't need a lot of attention is all,
We like to give you attention!
We were thinking that,,,
What?
We just want someone to give you attention,
You never seem to have anyone special in your life, that,,,
Treats you special!
Here's the next part of the tradition,,,
Honey, we're just concerned that you don't have anyone,
On that note,,,
I'm fine, Mom!
I'm happy the way things are,
I see that Mom is at it again?
-Hey, sis, -Hi Amanda!
She just doesn't want you to miss out, that's all,
You know, a lot of my patients have trouble meeting new people,
Ryan, you're a pediatrician,
Well, it's hard to meet people at any age,,,
Speaking of meeting people,
we've invited someone over tonight,
Again?
Keep an open mind, honey, come on into the living room,
It's gonna be fun!
Callie, you remember our dentist, Dr, Kazan?
Well this is his son, Dr, Kazan,
Please, just call me Arthur,
It's nice to meet you, Callie,
Your mother told me all about you at her last appointment,
Arthur took over his father's practice about six months ago,
Oh?
Yeah, it's true,
The best part was we didn't have to change the name on the sign,
That's just as funny as when
you told it in the office the other day,
I think it's an unfair assessment that we dentists
are all work and no play,
Some of us are quite the characters, actually!
Yeah, I'm glad to be reassured of that,
Really,
Well well well, the prodigal daughter returns!
Kyle! How's my baby brother doing?
I'm acting slightly less like a baby each day!
Hmm, debatable,,,
Kyle, have you met Arthur?
No, haven't had the pleasure,
I was previously disposed upstairs with some work,
It is nice to meet you, Kyle,
Wow, that's quite the handshake you've got there,
All us Fitzgeralds have a heckuva grip,
You'll have to take it on once you're part of the family,
You and Callie are getting married, right?
Kyle!
So what do you do, Kyle?
I own and operate a fun park,
Batting cages, go carts, that sort of thing,
Oh, that does sound fun!
I think that is enough fun for everybody,
And I think that dinner is almost ready!
[dad] Dinner's served!
Follow me!
Okay, here we go,
Looks amazing, Dad,
Remember the first ham you made, Callie?
Oh gosh, yes,,,
It was not representative of the great chef you are today,
that's all I can say!
I hope not,
It looked more like a football than a ham,
But you know what?
It was time that you and I spent together cooking,
And that's always been my favorite,
Such a softie,
That was what inspired me
to start my own catering business,
And what year was that, Dad?
Well, I uh,,,
You know what? I'm going to check the photo albums,
No! No albums,
Not at the table, thank you very much,
Sit, or we will be here all night,
Okay, fine,
Now, for our guest?
Not too much for me, thanks,
I'm not a big eater,
Okay, there you go, How's that?
Well I am, so pile it on, Dad,
I certainly will,
I admire that, Callie,
And if you don't mind me saying, you have incredible incisors,
Chewing does take it's toll on them over time, though,
Kyle, have you ever thought about adult braces?
You know, Arthur, I haven't,
You should come by the office sometime,
we'd love to check you out,
And Callie, if you came by, I would love to do a cleaning,
-Okay,,, -That's nice!
Tell me, Arthur,,, what are the benefits,
in your humble opinion, of an electric toothbrush
vs, say, a non-electric toothbrush?
I'm so glad you asked that! It's a fascinating subject,,,
The electric toothbrush was designed by Philippe Woog
in Switzerland in 1927,
He was an influencer, if you would,
Which one of those is for me?
Very funny,
I'm just trying to help, you know,
I wish you'd give him a chance,
He's a nice young man with a solid career,
Like your internist, remember?
The one whose love of ferrets
turned out to be a full blown obsession?
I'm just looking after your happiness,
I just don't want you to dismiss someone outright,
I don't do that,
I just don't think I need a man to be happy,
I'm really focusing my energy
on the catering business right now,
Your business is fine, honey,
That's right,
It's "fine," but I want it to be "amazing,"
Fine businesses don't stay open for very long,
especially in this industry,
where starting off strong is so essential,
We've barely been open a year,
The time right now, it's crucial that we're doing well,
Don't stay cooped up in the kitchen,
You have to have balance,
Mom, my time is very much needed in the kitchen right now,
I don't know that I have time for a boyfriend,
Oh Anne, don't pressure her,
You know I think maybe you're right, Callie,
I don't think Arthur is right for you, either,
Thank you, Dad,
He's just too dull!
I don't want to push a guy like that on you,
What I think you really need is a guy like Frankie,
Our new hire at the hardware store!
Yes!
I mean he's good with numbers, strong as an ox!
[gasp]
Oh, my goodness,
Arthur is currently explaining to C,J, all about veneers,
-I can do it, Amanda, -No sweat, I got it!
You know, Ryan's been telling me about all these new interns
at his practice and apparently they're really nice guys,
You too now?
Hey, I'm just putting it out there!
Maybe we should tell you now,
Tell me what?
We weren't going to let our baby girl's 35th birthday
come and go without a party,
So we're going to throw you one!
Oh guys, I said I didn't need a big to-do,
It's already done!
We've handled everything:
the decorations, the music, and the food,
And you don't have to do anything,
And we're going to have it right here, out back!
It's going to be a party for the ages!
Well, 35 to be exact,
And not to put too fine a point on it,
but we were hoping that you'd bring a date,
It is your party after all,
You have to bring a date!
Okay! That's my cue to go,
It has been a very successful family dinner,
but I'm slammed with work,
and I need to wake up early tomorrow,
Mom, Dad, I love you both,
Love you too, sweetie,
I'll walk her out,
Safe drive home, love you!
Oh, did they go get dessert?
I don't really eat anything too sugary, or crunchy,
Except celery, I really like celery,
Celery,,,
Well, good,
So, it's not that I'm not trying!
It just that it hasn't happened yet,
Plus, I like being single,
Yeah, I know,
I do too, sis! I hear you,
It always seems like you have a different girlfriend,
No, no, no,
Our philosophies on love are a little different, you know?
You're like the hitter in baseball that plants her feet
in the batter's box and waits for the exact right pitch
before she goes for it, Me?
I like taking all kinds of swings at love!
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't,
but you know why it doesn't bother me?
There's always gonna be another pitcher,
and there's always gonna be another chance,
So why not keep swinging?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I'm just enjoying my time off the field right now,
Want to grab seats at the bar?
No, I'm actually meeting some friends,
I thought it was just us, I should get home,
You're already here, just come in and say hi,
I have to get up early tomorrow,
What are you, a farmer?
Just come in, say hello, then you can go,
Well,,,
Callie, take a swing!
Okay!
Hello, my friends,
I have arrived, and with me I bring precious cargo,
My eternally youthful older sister, Callie!
Make her feel welcome, be kind, and don't give her
any indication we'll be talking about her after she's gone,
You may say hello,,, now!
Hello!
-Hi, -Hi!
Two more, please,
I'm guessing you deal with that a lot?
Oh yes, he is the master of being too much,
Yes, that's one of the few things
he's truly a master of, unfortunately,
Hey, I'm stuck with him,
You choose to hang out with him!
Thank you,
That's right, actually,
Do you want to know why I hang out with him the most?
It's because it makes me feel really good
about my life choices simply by comparison,
Smart!
I'm Will, by the way,
Callie,
-Nice to meet you, -Nice to meet you,
And which one of these young women
that my brother has wedged himself between is with you?
Oh, neither,
No, they're both teachers at the same school that I work in,
So, you're a teacher too?
Yes I am,
Well, amateur novelist first, English teacher second,
Amateur in the sense that I've never finished the novel,
What's holding you back?
That's a good question,
Honestly?
I think I'm afraid to let people see it,
You know, get out on the field?
Take a swing, that kind of thing,
Baseball with you too!
I love baseball, I played in it college!
That's where I met Kyle,
No way!
Yeah,
You know, I was a pretty big deal
ball player myself back in high school,
-Really? -Yeah,
-No,,, -Yeah, tell him,
Kyle!
Tell him what now?
That I was a baseball star back in high school!
In this area, I fully acknowledge
that Callie was and still is a true talent,
I'm just good with the metaphors now,
Thank you!
Very impressive,
Hey, I was just telling my friends here
about our family's Sunday tradition,
Ah yes, the dinners,
No, I'm talking about us getting together once a week
for our parents to try and set up Callie,
But that's the thing - I don't need to find the one right now,
I like being single!
Same here!
I couldn't agree more,
What is with everyone's fixation
about always trying to set people up, right?
Not everyone wants to be in a couple,
Yeah, why can't I be happy on my own?
I'll get to it, when I get to it,
Exactly!
I don't even know if marriage is in my future,
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, Not sure,
Same!
A wedding ceremony is always more for the other people
than it is the people actually getting married,
Yeah,,, precisely!
I'm not sure mom and dad are going to be quite as excited
as Will is to hear about your plans,
Well it's my life, not theirs!
Her life,
I look forward to you explaining that to them!
I don't think they're gonna give up that easy,
Well you have an ally in me, if you need one,
Thank you, Will!
Welcome,
So, what's your plan for your birthday party then?
It's your birthday? Well, a toast is in order,
Oh please, don't toast to my birthday yet,
It's still two weeks away!
Okay, new toast,,,
To the single life,
To the single life!
To the single life,
Cheers,
[Mia] Macarons are looking perfect,
Are they Delaney perfect?
Yes, my dear,
Are you still worried about that blogger?
Are you serious?
Delaney Hendricks is only the biggest lifestyle blogger
in the country, and she lives right here in Virginia!
And she's agreed to have us cater her event
so that she might recommend us to her followers!
Do you not realize what that could do for us?
Of course I do, How's that soufflé coming?
I don't think that you do!
It's fine, I think,,,
It's great,
Everything Delaney touches turns to gold,
her picks are practically Oprah's Favorite Things
and Reese Witherspoon's Book Club combined,
Getting a shout out from her is just the boost
we've been waiting for,
It'll finally give us the credibility we need
to get to the next level,
People already love our catering!
In this town maybe, but what about across the state?
Or getting into a national food magazine?
I mean,,, that's what I want,
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi, honey!
Did you get home safe and sound last night?
Of course, Mom,
Okay, good,
Now listen, I need you to send me your guest list
for the party as soon as you can,
I'll handle everything,
but I want to make sure all your friends are there,
I will, Mom,
As soon as I get the work done I need to do
for this engagement party,
Oh, an engagement party?
I can hardly wait until I get to throw one of those myself!
Okay Mom, really,,,
And you should really think about
inviting Arthur to the birthday party,
He was sad that you had to leave so quickly last night,
I'll think about it, thank you, Mom,
Gotta run, love you,
I love you too, Bye hon!
You can't argue with your mother, you know,
She's going to do what she's going to do,
so you might as well not fight it, and enjoy it!
I want to make her happy,
but she just won't give me ANY space!
She's enthusiastic,
That's one word for it,
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hey, Callie Pallie!
Hi, Dad,
You know, Mom just called,
Yes, I can see her out in the garden!
You know, I was just thinking maybe it's time you met Frankie,
Who?
Frankie, my new hire down at the hardware store,
Now, he's doing a Tough Mudder this weekend,
but after that he's available!
What do you say?
I'll have to get back to you,
Okay well, love you honey,
Love you too, Dad,
Oh no! The soufflé fell,
[phone vibrating]
Hey, who are you bringing to the party?
Want me to ask Ryan
if any of his patients' parents are single dads?
Ugh!
-You want to take a break? -Yeah,
That's the second dish I've dropped in two days,
I'm not usually this clumsy!
You just need to de-stress,
Want to smack a few more?
On the house, of course,
Hit me!
So, the parental units wouldn't give in, huh?
Oh, they are persistent,
I mean, I love Mom and Dad,
but it is so old fashioned of them to think
a woman in her mid-30s isn't whole because she's single,
I mean, I've dated plenty of guys before,
but they weren't supportive enough of my career,
David,
Or they were too clingy,
Steve,
Or they weren't the right match,
Adam, Brady, and Fred?
Phil,
Phil! Who could forget Phil?
Why don't you just go to your birthday party
alone like you wanted?
Then I'll never hear the end of it,
I just need to keep Mom and Dad at bay,
But you don't want to take a date, so,,,
What are you gonna do?
I don't know,
It's almost like I need to bring a fake date to the party,
Someone who will pretend to be my boyfriend,
just to keep Mom and Dad off my back,
Someone who also doesn't want to date,
Someone,,,
Someone like Will,
And your school's right over there?
Yeah, and I was on detention duty today, so,,,
Thank you,
So I just walked right over afterwards,
Any troublemakers?
Nothing I haven't done myself,
So, I was surprised to get your text,
What's up?
Well, you know I have a birthday coming up,
Yeah, I recall,
And my parents are throwing me this big party,
The only hitch is that they are insistent that I bring a date,
Now I could go alone, like I want,
but I'll never hear the end of it, so,,,
I've devised a great plan,
I will bring my boyfriend to the party,
A great guy who's nice, and perfect,
and charming in every possible way,
Right, your boyfriend,
You,
-Me? -You,
I'm your boyfriend?
You will pose as my boyfriend, It's perfect!
We both want to be single,
so we won't be hurting anyone's feelings;
we'll just be playing the part
to help other people with their feelings!
You're serious about this?
I am,
Now this is a job,
so I will compensate you accordingly,
I will pay you in dinners and food from my shop,
and if you agree to these terms,
you will pose in a few small public ways
as my devoted boyfriend,
all culminating in the birthday party,
My parents might even recognize you
from Kyle's baseball games,
Don't worry, Kyle will go along with it,
Okay, and what about after the party?
I'll make up something about how it didn't work out,
and they'll know that I tried,
and they'll hopefully leave me alone for a while,
Until my 40th,,,
Okay,,,
Question?
Shoot,
Can I have a fake name?
No,
How about an accent?
What? No!
Just a wee one?
Will, no!
How about a fake job?
Like a shark tamer, or a bounty hunter?
Will, you're you,
Right, I'm me,
Okay,
All right, so I'm me and you're you,
Why do you feel like you need to go through
such great lengths for this?
Well, my family may pressure me and stress me out,
but I love them, So much,
Even more than I let on, even to them, sometimes,
And I want to be happy,
but I want them to be happy, too,
So if I do this one small, admittedly out there gesture,
just to make them happy, then I'm going to do it,
One final question,,,
Do you make chicken parmesan?
The best chicken parmesan you've ever had,
I'm in,
To being single,,,
-Together! -Together,
So, he's into it too and we're all set,
Wow, this is really happening, huh?
And don't breathe a word of this to Mom and Dad,
Hey, my lips are sealed,
You know I love a scheme,
So what happens next?
Well, we're going to hang out a few times,
Learn some facts about each other,
Just to make sure it's all believable for the party,
We're hanging out today, actually,
Right, and it's not a date?
No, that's the best part,
We both want the same thing,
so there's no question about, "is it or isn't it?"
It's all out there in the open,
You've really found a way to beat the system, huh?
I hear that tinge of jealousy in your voice,
Yeah right!
I'm going this way, but call me later,
Okay bye, baby bro,
-Hi, -Hey!
Okay, new rule: no gifts,
We're not in a real relationship,
so I don't want you to feel obligated
to bring me gifts if we hang out,
Oh, these aren't for you,
You're a chef, so really I just wanted
your professional opinion on, you know,
which one I should eat first,
Well, as an expert in the field,
you can't go wrong with chocolate,
But, technically, anything cream-filled is best,
I just ordered six,
I have no idea which ones are cream-filled!
Okay, I can teach you a top secret trick
that all chefs know,
and have passed on from generation to generation,
Okay,,,
Try them all,
I like that,
I'm gonna learn a lot from you,
You are,
How much of an expert in food are you really?
-On a scale of 1 to 10? -Yeah,
I would say nine,
With a one point margin of error,
That's impressive,
You want to try one?
-If I must, -You must,
I must!
But it's not cream-filled,
What about you?
No, nothing, No cream,
-But it's delicious, -Try another one,
So what's your novel about?
I should probably have a quicker response to that, huh?
Well, it's about a guy roughly my age,
similar backstory,,,
Based on a true story, perhaps?
Yes and no,
It's actually about my relationship with my mom,
Is your dad a character, too?
Yeah, a little bit,
I lost him when I was very young,
Oh, I'm so sorry,
No, it's alright,
So it's a little bit about that,
And then my mom, she's the best friend you could ever ask for,
It's a happy story!
That's sweet,
Yeah, I think so,
Just wish I could find the motivation to finish it,
Why can't you?
I don't know,
Maybe because it's based on my life
and I don't know how that story ends yet,
Well, can't the writer make up the ending?
I mean, isn't that the whole point?
Yeah, you'd think so, right?
Well I've never read any of your writing,
but I think you should keep at it,
The ending will come to you,
Thank you, I won't give up yet,
This way, I want to show you something,
Listen, I know this is a pretend date,
but I was kind of hoping we'd end up here,
It's my favorite place,
Wow, it's beautiful,
Oh, and I do have snacks just in case you want any,
Wow, this is a great pretend date,
Well, I'm doing my best to try and play
the role of the perfect boyfriend,
You're doing alright,
Thank you,
All right, here we go,
Have a seat,
Thank you,
It's hard to imagine you're not settled down already,
Not that you need to be, obviously,
Just that, you know your way around a date,
and like, maybe you like it?
Callie,,,
Yes?
The most important thing in the world to me right now,
is that I can be the best boyfriend I can be for you,
All I care about is you,,,
,,,and your chicken parm,
Come on that was a good fake, right?
I'll say! Very convincing,
Okay, good,
Grapes?
Thank you again for doing this,
You're exactly the person I need in this situation,
And so nice to find someone who's on the same page
about the whole single thing,
I know, right?
Does your mom pressure you
the way my parents do to find someone?
Oh absolutely, she kind of lives
vicariously through me, in that sense,
Pretty much a hobby for her,
Hey, did you know that seahorses mate for life?
-Seahorses? -Yeah,
-That was out of left field, -I know,
It's a paper that I graded today,
A student of mine wrote about it,
Apparently seahorses mate for life,
which is rare for fish, I guess,
They find one mate and monogamously
float through life happily ever after,
Wow!
That is so sweet, I love seahorses,
They're really smart, but,,,
they just don't see eye to eye with us,
They're fools, right?
Right, what dopes!
Yeah,
So I guess I'll tell my parents that we're dating soon,
Full steam ahead?
Tomorrow is our traditional Sunday night dinner,
It's silly, but we've been doing it forever,
I love silly and traditional, it's a great combo,
I was wondering if you wanted to join?
You know, meet the parents and everything
before the big party,
Yeah, that would be great for keeping up appearances,
I'd love to meet your parents, but I have a date,
Oh!
Yeah,
Okay,,, well, yeah I mean,,,
You do you, cowboy,
What about after? I could come by for dessert,
Yes, we love dessert,
-I'll see you then, -Great,
Great,
I hope it's okay to ask this,,,
Could I get that chicken parm soon-ish?
Of course, it's part of our deal,
One chicken parm, coming right up!
No rush, I'm actually really excited,
You got it,
You will not be disappointed, I promise,
All right, I'll see you tomorrow,
Tomorrow!
This looks good,
Yes, perfect!
Looking good!
Can you move that glass for me?
[phone ringing]
[robotic voice] Hello there,
We all go through stressful times
that can be tough to manage,
Let's take a deep breath in,
[breathing in]
[knock at the door]
Aunt Callie, are you done yet?
Sorry CJ, I'll be out in a second!
But I really have to go,,,
Coming sweetie!
Well, that was Frankie on the phone,
Looks like he won't be coming for dinner tonight after all,
Apparently he pulled a muscle training
for this Tough Mudder thing
and so he's going to have an ice bath instead,
Well, can he come to the party?
That's a great idea,
we'll invite him to the birthday party,
Speaking of which, Callie,,,
I know this great guy, he works at the hospital,
He's one of those,,,
Performers, for sick kids,
That's alright, Amanda!
Are you sure?
He's a real whiz with those little animal balloons,
So cute!
That won't be necessary,
I have a date,
When were you going to tell us this?
I'm telling you now,
We are dating,
Callie, you've been holding out on us!
I wanted to wait to make sure it was real!
That's great, how did you meet him?
Through me, actually,
Really?
When you were you gonna say something?
I like being the sole keeper of a secret sometimes,
Kyle!
He's an old college friend of Kyle's,
We met at a bar recently, there's not much else to tell,
Well then make something up!
Details, honey, details!
His name is Will,
He's a great guy,
and he is a high school English teacher,
A teacher?
Well that's an honorable profession, teaching,
And he used to play baseball,
Like you!
And like me!
We played together, actually,
Yeah,
You did participate, angel,
but Callie, she really played in her day,
No offense,
I will take great offense to that mother, thank you,
Anyways, he's really added something special to my life,
and I guess I'm all set for the party!
Oh!
How tall is he?
Oh, that kind of thing doesn't matter,
-Dad! -How tall is he?
Uh,,, I don't know, 5'11"?
I guess this calls for a toast!
To my little girl and her new boyfriend!
Cheers!
I can't wait to meet him!
I was thinking he could come over for dessert, if you want,
Of course, fine by me!
Oh yes, we want,
Oh, what fun!
This is good, Mom,
And she's asleep,
Thank you, honey,
Do you want me to scoop some ice cream for Will?
I'm not sure what flavor he might want,
You don't know his favorite flavor?
Well, I mean, he always says
he has so many favorites, so he can't choose,
Let's scoop him some rocky road,
Rocky road, huh?
That's my new favorite,
There he is!
Everyone, this is him,
This is Will!
Hi, wow!
I've really been looking forward to meeting everyone,
You must be Mr, Fitzgerald,
Not to you I'm not, You call me John!
Pleasure to meet you!
I think I watched you play a few games,
You got a good arm on you, boy!
Good leg, too!
Two good legs, actually,
And two good arms, come to think of it,
Dad,,,
Yes, all right nice to see you,
Will, it is so good to finally meet you,
We've been waiting for this moment for so long,
I mean, we have been waiting for someone
like you to come along,
Oh, it's just so good to meet you!
Hey Mom, okay,,,
-Hi, I'm Amanda, -Hi,
The older, overprotective sister,
Nice to meet you Amanda, hi,
So, any criminal record of any sort?
-A criminal record? -Yeah,
I'm just joking, Will,
Or am I?
Sorry for my wife's line of questioning,
We really don't bite,
I'm Ryan,
Yeah,
Okay,
-How was that? -Not bad, not bad at all,
They're staring at us like hawks,
Yeah, you're going to have to get used to that,
Okay,
What should I do now?
Put your arm over my shoulder,
-Is that romantic? -That's an order!
Oh yeah? Yes ma'am,
Not al dente,
-Good morning, -There she is!
How's the pasta coming?
I was thinking about how Delaney posted
that she likes some pastas,
but when the noodles stick together, it bothers her,
Do you think we should prep some the night before,
just to be safe?
Pasta is fine!
How is Callie? How did last night go?
It went so great!
Will was in perfect form,
He charmed the pants off the Fitzgeralds!
That's amazing!
He was so warm with everyone,
So kind, funny, sweet,
He even had me fooled a few times
that we were a real couple,
Oh?
Not like that,
He was such a good actor, so convincing!
Wow, you bagged a good one,
A fake good one, but a good one!
Let's see how this is going,
Not al dente,
Do you think what I'm doing is wrong?
What do you mean?
Fooling my family, is it dishonest?
It's all for their benefit, right?
It's making them happy?
Yeah, plus I need them off my back
so we can focus on impressing Delaney!
Are you having second thoughts?
No, I'm not worried about getting hurt myself,
I just don't want anyone else to,
You're worrying too much about how everyone feels all the time,
You can't control that!
I know, I know,
These have got to be done by now,
Who's ready to hit those batting cages?
Al dente!
So is that a yes?
We're too busy!
But thank you for the entertainment, Kyle,
Always happy to be made a fool of for you,
A cute fool too,
Mia!
Oh, come on, he is cute,
And you know I've always thought that,
Oh, I know,
He's truly a fool if he doesn't know that,
So?
So what?
How did last night go? What happened?
I don't know, you were there,
What do you think?
I thought you were funny, charming, sweet,
and completely unrecognizable,
Your family was great, by the way,
And Callie, man, she played it so well,
She got all the little things right,
The way she'd hold my hand, grab my arm,
Kind of perfect girlfriend stuff, right?
She even had me convinced a few times
that we were a real couple!
Very interesting William, tell me more!
It's not like that,
She was convincing, kind of like you,
How you're trying to convince me
you know how to play ball right now,
Hey!
I took a noodle to the face earlier today,
I've been through trauma,
But that's not gonna stop me from doing this,
Thank you,
Okay, Babe Ruth,
Ready with more seedlings!
Let me know if you need me to slow down,
I think that you're gonna be tiring out before I do, my love,
This tradition is my favorite in the world,
Promise me we'll still always do this
every year even when we're both old ladies,
Try and stop me!
You should get Will to come and help us garden,
I'm going to bring that up at your party,
I don't know if it's really his thing,
Okay, well,,,
I know you haven't been thrilled with us
being on you about finding somebody,
but it's coming from a place of love,
And now it's exciting because you have someone!
Yeah I know, thank you,
It's just, it hasn't been easy for me
to find someone that I like and connected with,
We're all not like you and Dad,
You know, I didn't always have the idea
of marrying your father,
Really? I had no idea,
Oh yeah,
It's not like we jumped into something immediately,
or everything was easy,
No, it took time,
I liked your father immediately,
but I didn't know if I wanted to marry him right away,
Or at all!
So there was a time you thought you might not ever get married?
I didn't know,
I was focused on grad school when I met your father,
and I told him that right away,
I said that was my priority, I wanted to finish school,
If he wanted to wait
and we still wanted to get married after that,
we could give it a try,
Huh,
It's all about trusting yourself,
Listening to that little voice inside speak to you,
You have that, right?
Yeah, it sounds a lot like you!
[laughing]
Well yes, that can happen,
But as you get older, hopefully,
it starts to sound less like me, and more like you,
Okay wait, what happened when you told Dad
you wanted to wait?
He said, "I'll wait!"
-Just like that? -Just like that,
And the fact that I knew he meant it,
and that he didn't hesitate for one moment,
I knew we'd have a chance to make it,
Wow,
And we waited, and I was right,
So if I meet someone, it could just take a little patience--
If you meet someone?
You already have met someone!
Yes, of course,
What I meant to say was since I've met someone,
it could just take a little time to click,
Yeah, of course it will,
You just have to listen to the voice,
I'm just so glad that you're happy,
I always say, "Don't be afraid of love,"
[screams]
Oh my goodness,
Wait,,, Will?
Callie, hi!
Do you always scream bloody murder
at all your customers when they walk in?
No one comes in this late!
The shop's been closed for hours,
I thought you were a burglar,
Yeah, I'm here to steal all your flour and eggs,
Well, you never know!
What are you doing here?
It's 8:00, I thought I was supposed to stop by,
pick up the dinner?
Right, I think I meant that I'd deliver it to you at 8:00,
My bad, I totally misread the text,
I thought I was supposed to come pick it up,
Well, there it is,
There it is,
This is the third dish I've dropped in like a week,
I'm not usually such a klutz,
Well it looks delicious,
Yeah, it was,
Oh man, it's going to take me an hour to make another,
I'm really sorry,
Oh, don't sweat it!
Honestly, I ate before I came,
so I was gonna heat this up for tomorrow,
Oh, good,
I can feel slightly less guilty about starving you tonight,
So,,,
This is where all the magic happens, huh?
Yeah,
I know it doesn't look like much,
but it's my little slice of paradise,
No, it's great, I love it,
I can see why you'd be so happy here,
Yeah, I'm definitely my happiest when I'm cooking,
For sure,
Would you teach me?
Teach you?
Yeah, teach me how you cook?
I'm already here, I've already destroyed
one of your creations, you might as well
let me help you make something else,
Sure, I can do that,
Okay,
Let me see,
What's your like favorite thing to make?
My favorite thing to make?
I mean it changes all the time, I can't pick just one!
I can teach you the first thing my dad ever taught me to make:
a soufflé,
I'm in,
I gotta warn you, I'm a complete novice
when it comes to the kitchen,
I got you,
The perfect soufflé is very difficult to make,
I think my dad wanted to start me off with something hard,
so everything else was easy by comparison,
It took me a lot of attempts to get it just right,
You have to make a strong base that's not too thick
to encourage it to rise,
The base uses egg yolks,
We'll save the whites for the sauce,
And then you want to let it rise
for just the right amount of time
so it won't fall in the oven,
That's the biggest problem with soufflés,,,
They always seem to fall in the oven,
The perfect soufflé is only ready at one exact time,
and you want to jump on that opportunity, or else it will,,,
It will pass you by,
Here,,,
Why don't you try one?
You think I'm ready to take the training wheels off already?
There's only one way to find out,
Grab an apron,
Okay,,,
You ready for this?
Start cracking,
Okay,,,
Might've cracked that a little too much,
Step aside, please!
Masterfully done,
I'm used to working with children,,,
Okay,
[upbeat pop music]
How am I doing?
A for Effort,
That's a good backhanded compliment,
I think you should take the compliment,
no matter what side of the hand it comes from,
The back is just as nice as the front, don't you think?
When you present it like that, that's very nice,
Be honest: of all the kids you've worked with,
how much better than me are they?
-Honestly? -Honestly,
They were less messy,
I knew it,
But you cried a little less,
Oh, that's good,
Oh no, the oven!
I think it fell,
Well, I don't know that I was made to be a chef,
Maybe it's not your calling,
It's not,
But hey, thank you for the lesson, regardless,
Of course,
I figured I owed you, you know,
after the chicken parmesan ended up on the floor
and not in your stomach,
Well, I appreciate your commitment to fairness,
Oh I'm all about fairness,
Really? On a scale of 1-10?
11,
Okay, well, I had fun,
Thanks again for the night,
Goodnight, Will,
Yeah, goodnight,
Are you wielding pasta, or is it safe to enter?
You're safe for now,
My fettuccini is still in its holster,
Good,
Is Will meeting Callie here by chance?
Not that I know of,
In fact, she's not even here yet,
She's left me quite the mess though,
Must've got my times mixed up,
I'm supposed to drop off my keys to Will,
he's closing up the rec center for me tonight,
And where will you be going?
I happen to find myself in the position
of going on a little date,
Another date, huh?
What do you mean, another date?
Oh, nothing,
Just seems you're always going on a new date!
What can I say? I like going on dates,
It's just that the women I go out with
tend to only like going on one date with me,
Difference of taste, I guess,
Maybe they have a more refined palette, these ladies,
So what does that make me?
What do you think you are?
Apple pie, maybe?
Something classic, I mean who doesn't like apple pie?
I like apple pie,
But sometimes I want something more refined and focused,
Like crème brûlée,
And I'm not crème brûlée?
You could be,
Just a little more time in the oven,
You've lost me with your metaphors,
I'm just going to assume you're insulting me
and leave it at that!
Can I leave these with you?
Sure thing,
Thanks, Mia,
A date with Kyle Fitzgerald,
I'd love to know what that's like,
Believe me, it's not for the faint of heart!
See you!
Completely oblivious,,,
Your party is going to be perfect!
Thanks, Mom,
You don't have to update me every step along the way, okay?
Also, did you forget about tomorrow?
We're going down to the love locks bridge,
You'll be there, yes?
Oh right, I did forget,
I don't know that I can make it,
It's a tradition!
I know, I've just been so busy getting ready for Delaney,
I don't know that I can fit it all in,
Well, Will is coming with us,
You spoke to Will?
I asked Kyle for his number and called him,
He said he'd be delighted,
He said those exact words?
"I'd be delighted?"
I don't know, sweetie, He's very polite,
Okay, well yeah, I guess I can make it,
Good, it's settled then,
So excited to see you and Will again!
Hey Mom, Will and I,
we're actually, we're just,,,
Yes, love?
We're going to have to meet you there separately,
Will will be coming straight from school,
And, uh,,, yeah,
We'll meet you there,
That'll be just fine, sweetie,
Love you!
Love you too, Mom,
It's perfect,
How many times have we walked down this path?
A few,
39 that I can think of,
And counting, let's keep counting,
I know,,,
Hey!
Hey,,,
Sorry, I'm all over the place,
I thought I was an English teacher,
but today was nothing but drama,
Lots of issues at school,
I'm in a bit of a hectic mode myself,
Let's just make this quick!
Thank you for doing this, by the way,
above and beyond your job description,
No big deal,
When your mom called, she was so sweet about it,
I couldn't resist,
I do need to get to work, so I can't stay long,
Same, we'll just make an appearance,
Okay,,,
Oh, hi!
There you are!
-Hi, Dad, -Hi, honey,
[everyone greeting each other]
This never gets old,
You say that every year,
39 years and counting,
Wow, that's a long time,
Yes it is, but it seems like, you know,,,
Yesterday,
I've never actually been to this place before,
-Never? -No!
You're not from here?
I grew up on the west coast, Oregon,
I spent a lot of time with my mom there,
She'd be all over this tradition stuff,
He's good to his mom,,,
See that bell right there?
Part of the tradition is after you put a lock on the gate,
you right the bell, but when me and Amanda were kids,
we would try and get up there and ring it ourselves,
I used to lift them up on my shoulders
so they could actually reach it!
I know I'm not a kid anymore,
but I'd still like to get up there!
What do you say, Dad?
Well,,,
I would say not right now,
Your dad's back can't take that,
Plus, this is a boyfriend's job now,
Will?
Oh yeah, of course, Come on!
Okay, let's go,
Be careful now,
Here we go,
All right, you ready? 3, 2, 1,,,
-All right,,, -Well, I can reach it now,
[bell clanging]
Well done,
Now you have to finish the tradition,
-Oh, Mom,,, -No, don't "Oh, Mom" me,
You're the one that rang the bell,
This is the same kind your father and I used,
Let me get a picture for the photo album!
Dad,,,
Hang on,
All right, I guess we're doing this,
Here we go,
Just connect it to there,,,
Let's see some face, I need a smile!
There we go,
Good shot, thank you,
Let's get one of all of us!
Who's gonna--
Excuse me, hi!
Would you mind taking a picture of us?
Thank you!
John, come in here by Callie,
You too,
In the middle, nice and close,
And you can take a bunch,
15 or 20 will do it,
You two get in nice and tight,
And now the two of you look into each other's eyes,
Anne, let the woman get back to her life,
Okay, okay,
Thank you so much!
I'm sure there's a keeper in here,
Wait!
Now, I want one where Will and Callie kiss,
I don't think we need,,,
She's not gonna take no for an answer,
Come on you two, pucker up!
Let's get the show on the road,
[camera snapping]
That was perfect!
Do you want to see?
Sure,
Take a look at you two,
That's a great shot, I like that,
I know, I do too,
Hey, do you mind running back out
and getting our spice order?
I think we should pick it up early for Delaney's event,
Oh hello, Callie, And how are you today?
I'm sorry, I'm just in work mode,
It's alright,
How did it go yesterday? How's Will?
Are you guys fake holding hands yet?
We kissed,
Kissed? Like kiss kissed?
Real kiss?
I think so?
What do you mean, think so?
I mean it wasn't supposed to be a real kiss!
We were set up for a picture!
I didn't want to do it for his sake either, but,,,
we had no choice,
So we did, and it happened, and then,,,
I felt something change during it,
Did he feel it, too?
I don't know!
This is becoming so much,
Do you think you're actually developing feelings for him?
It's not that easy,
Of course I like him, but it's complicated,
Well, of course it's complicated,
I could've told you that,,,
Then why didn't you?
Have you talked to Will about your feelings?
No, of course not!
Are you crazy? This is very delicate,
I'm building a very fragile house of cards here,
And if one thing upsets the balance,
The whole thing will collapse!
But the party is so soon,
I know, don't remind me,
I'm dreading it,
Oh, I was supposed to drop by the house!
Go ahead, I've got everything under control here,
I'm going to pick up the dishes, I'll be right back,
Will, I think we should talk,
Ugh, maybe not,,,
Callie, is that you?
Dad, I didn't know anyone was home,
No, it's just me,
I'm holding down the fort,
I'm just dropping off some plates for Mom,
She needs them for the party,
Isn't that great? How sweet,
Helping out with your own party,
She asked, and I managed to fit it in
to this crazy day,
You gotta take it easy sometimes, kid,
Yeah, I guess so,,,
Is everything alright?
That obvious, huh?
Only to me, you're good at hiding things,
Well, it's just,,,
the event for Delaney is tomorrow
and then there's the birthday party,
And I love you guys, I just wish it wasn't such a big deal,
Honey, the big deal is you,
The party is just our way of showing that,
I know, I just want everything to go
the way it's supposed to go,
For me and Mia with Delaney, and you guys and the party,
There's no "supposed to" in life,
You can't plan these things!
If you only did what you were supposed to,
you wouldn't be the amazing, creative chef that you are!
What was the thing you were best at making when you were young?
That's easy: soufflé,
I always tell that story,
That was the first thing I taught you to make,
but the best was an egg,
Really?
Yep, a simple egg in a frying pan,
And you know why?
Because you made it your own,
You were so adventurous!
And every time, it turned out great,
That was so fun,
I had completely forgotten all about that,
You would even tried all my weird combinations,
Not weird, you were,,, adventurous,
Thanks, Dad,
Never think you have to do things
one way your whole life,
Whether it's your career life, or your love life,
Don't be afraid of it,
Don't be afraid of love,
-Hmm? -Nothing,
Just something I heard,
You know that little voice inside your head
that tells you what to do?
I do, mine's your mother,
I hear you on that,
-Anyways,,, -Dad, sit back down,
-Relax, -Okay,,, why?
I am going to make you an egg!
Great, thank you,
[school bell ringing]
Excuse me, miss?
Oh my goodness, Will,
I'm sorry, everyone I visit today
that I think will be gone, is not gone after all,
Why do you keep visiting people
if you think know they're not there?
I, uh,,,I brought you your chicken parm,
Take 2,
Oh wow, that looks really good,
-You didn't have to bring that, Yes, I did,
The first one did not count and it was part of our deal,
Okay,
You reading my novel?
No!
I mean, I saw that it probably was your novel,
but no, I didn't see anything really,
It's okay, it's fine really,
There's not there to begin with,
But I will say that you've inspired me to get back at it,
I have?
Hey, Mia and I are catering this event tomorrow,
It's for this lifestyle blogger, her name is--
Delaney?
You know Delaney?
Yeah!
Look, I might not be a master head chef or anything,
but I know Delaney, and her restaurant recommendations,
they never disappoint,
All right well, we have this event booked,
and it's sort of like an audition for her to promote us,
And it'll be small, so if you'd want to come,,,
Is your family gonna be there?
No,
It would just be me,,,
It's of course not a part of your boyfriend duties,
I just thought it would be fun, if you wanted to,
Okay, yeah,,,
Let me check my schedule and I'll get back to you,
Sure! Yeah no, right, of course,
Hey also, about last time, you know when we,,,
Right yeah, with the,,,
Yeah, exactly,
I'm sorry, I had no idea that would happen,
Yeah no, right,,, don't even mention it,
I mean you did good, so thanks,
No problem, no big deal,
But you know, it was awkward, Uncomfortable,
Well, I,,,
Won't happen again,
Right, of course not,
So what stage of the relationship should I act
like you and Callie are in at the birthday party?
Like, fake first weekend getaway together?
Or you just had a key made for your place for her?
Where we at?
Hey that's not funny, all right?
I was just kidding,
You guys are just pretending, right?
I just can't be fun and games all the time like you, okay?
Okay, I'm sorry,
I didn't realize you felt so strongly about it,
Callie's a great person, all right?
I'm just realizing that this hasn't been that easy,
You like her for real, don't you?
You do!
I don't know,,, look, I don't know,
I know this: it'll be a bummer to walk away from her
when this is all over,
It's been a lot of fun hanging out with her,
Wow, I mean,,,
Why don't you just ask her out when it's all over?
For real, I mean,
I can't,
That's not what she wants, she made it pretty clear,
Anything I'm feeling, I've got to be really strong
and just not let it out,
Because that would defeat the purpose
of everything she wants to do,
and I don't want to ruin this for her,
Yeah you're right, that's a tough situation,
I've got to pump the brakes a bit,
maybe just get back out on the dating scene,
That'll take my mind off it,
Just know I've got your back,
if you ever want to talk it through,
-I'm here, -Thanks man, I appreciate that,
Yeah, verything has been delivered to the venue,
I'm just heading home to change,
Wait I'm getting a text, I'll see you there,
Hey Callie,
I'm not going to make it, So sorry,
Thank you guys for being here,
Delaney, it is you!
I'm Callie Fitzgerald,
It is truly an honor to meet you,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit nervous,
It is a delight, Callie, this is so wonderful,
I'm so excited to have you catering for me,
Oh, I'm the excited one!
You already have quite the reputation,
My friends have already told me about you,
You've been on their radar,
Wow, that's so nice to hear,
And where's your partner?
Mia!
She's just running a last-minute errand,
she should be here any minute,
You know what, I'm going to give her a call,
Hey Mia, it's Callie,
Just wondering where you are,
Delaney is here and she even asked where you are,
We are all set up at Paliotti's and I just need you,
Also I can't stop thinking about that kiss with Will,
and how super weird it was,
and he said something like he was sorry about it
and then he texted me that he's not coming tonight,
and I know I'm about to turn 35,
but I feel like an actual teenage right now
and I hope you get here soon and I love you,
Okay, thank you, bye,
-Hey! -Oh, good!
Sorry I'm late,
I got caught up with one of my other side projects,
You alright?
I'm just glad you're here now,
I left you the world's longest voicemail,
I must be losing it,
I should have called,
No, it's okay, I promise,
Let's do this thing!
I've got a good feeling!
Oh, you can go ahead and delete that voicemail,
Oh,,, Will?
I must say, I'm a little surprised
you asked me out, Will,
I'm surprised you said yes,
So, what're you going to get?
I thought maybe we could split something,
Do you want to get some chicken parm?
No chicken parm,
So, read anything good lately?
I've started to reread some great fiction classics,
Yes, I read a great collection of essays recently,
On how we're living in the sixth mass extinction,
real eye opening stuff,
Yeah, that,,,
sounds really uplifting,
Good work today, partner,
Right back at you, partner,
Even if nothing comes of it,
it's nice to know I'm doing it with you,
I wouldn't want it any other way,
See you tomorrow at the party?
Yeah, I'll be there,
Don't suppose there's any way out of it?
Nope, that train has left the station,
You know what you could do?
-Something really radical, -What?
Try and enjoy yourself,
Well this was quite an evening, ladies,
Very unique indeed, We'll chat,
Is that good?
I have no idea,
So I'm not the only one who comes here late,
Will? What are you doing here?
I guess now I'm the one who shows up at a place
not expecting anyone to be there,
I'm really sorry I didn't come to your event tonight,
All good,
I've never seen you here after hours before,
Yeah, kind of a new thing for me I guess,
Ever since Kyle gave me the keys,
and said I could close up, come in whenever I want,
He's a good guy that way,
You mind if I hit a couple?
I mean, I guess not,
I just,,,
I wasn't really expecting to see you tonight,
I thought you had other plans?
I can go if you want some space,
No, go ahead,
So,,,
You got the big party tomorrow,
I guess we pulled it off, huh?
Yeah,,,
You know, I've been thinking about the party
and this whole charade,
it's really becoming a lot more stress than it's worth,
What do you mean?
I thought playing pretend would make my life easier,
but it hasn't,
And now I have to deal with all the emotions
that have come with that,,,
What kind of emotions?
You know,,,
Just the usual stress, anxiety, disappointment,,,
No,,, I get that,
Hasn't been easy in my life either, you know?
Putting up this facade in front of your family all the time,,,
All this lying and pretending,,,
I'm sorry, I thought you agreed to all of this,
It's not your family and it's not your party,
Yeah, but it's still me,
It's still all these emotions that I,,,
Quite frankly, I just didn't expect,
What emotions?
It's like you said, right?
Fear, worry, anxiety,
I'm not used to bending the truth, I'll tell you that,
-Oh, really? -Yeah,
What were you doing tonight, then?
What?
I saw you on your date, Will!
I was at that restaurant, too,
That's where my event was, that you skipped out on!
It was just dinner!
And to be honest, I did it to protect your feelings!
Protect my feelings?
Now that's bending the truth!
Okay well, I guess you really don't know me then, Callie,
No, I don't,
I don't know you at all,
because we're not actually dating,
And you know what?
We never actually would,
Okay, I get it, all right?
I'm gonna go so you can have your space, and,,,
No, I'm sorry,,,
I,,,
What is it, Callie?
I,,,
I'll see you at the party tomorrow,
We'll see this thing through, and then that'll be that,
We'll go our separate ways as planned,
Right,
See you then,

In and out,
It's a big day,
Maybe you're feeling a lot of pressure,
Perhaps all eyes are on you, people rely on you for things,
Expectations are high,,,
Okay, got it!
Hi!
Happy birthday, angel,
You were always my favorite,
Mom, really?
Do you say that to all of us?
Of course I do!
But isn't it nice to hear it today?
Callie Pallie, look at you!
Oh my goodness, you just polish up so nice,
You remember what we got you for your Sweet Sixteen birthday?
I don't think so,,,
You were into mix CDs, so we all got you mix CDs
of your favorite music!
Wow, I had completely forgotten,
Well I haven't,,, happy birthday, Callie!
Don't worry - this isn't your only present,
I love it, thank you Dad,
We still have a lot of stuff to set up,
so we're going to skidaddle,
But come on inside, your guests are here,
People are already out back!
Great! I'm gonna put this in my car, I'll be right there,

There you are! Come dance with me!
Great party, Mom,
Dad, come dance!
No, later,
It's true,
Hey, have you seen Will?
I don't think he's here yet,
No, of course he is,
I was with him inside!
I thought you saw him,
No, we haven't had a chance to connect,
Well you will now!
What do you mean?
I scheduled a song for you two to dance to!
Just the two of you,
Alright everyone, this song is exclusively
for the birthday girl and her boyfriend,
Nobody else dances, father's orders!
-Hey there, -Hi,
Happy birthday,
Thanks,
Are you having a good time?
Not really,
Yeah, me neither,
Will, I'm so sorry about the other night,
Don't even mention it, really,
We both said things we didn't mean,
I know I did,
Yeah, me too,
It's a stressful situation we got ourselves into,
I should have anticipated that,
I never should have put you in this position,
Hey, I agreed to it,
I take full responsibility,
You know, I,,, never mind,
What?
Okay, if we met under,,,
somehwere else, and I wasn't the birthday boyfriend, you know?
Yeah?
I would've asked you out,
Really?
Under different circumstances, I would have,
But I know you said you don't want that,
And I said I don't either, initially,,,
Yeah,,, that is what we both said,
Let's have a big hand for Callie and Will!
I'm gonna take a walk,

I'd like to make an announcement,
For those of you who don't know me,
I'm the embarrassing father of the birthday girl,
I don't want to take too much time up,
I'd just like to say how proud I am of my little baby girl,
who's not a little baby girl anymore,
I couldn't be more thrilled with the woman she's become,
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach,
and if that's true, Will is the luckiest man in the world!
In all seriousness, we're so thrilled that Callie and Will
found each other out there in the real world,
a real connection, no set ups, no charades,,,
,,,just two true honest people who fell in love,
Anyway, I'll quit while I'm ahead,
Let's raise a glass,,,
to Callie Pallie!
Happy birthday, honey!
Why don't you get up here and say a few words!
Come on, speech!
This is your night, There you go,
Thanks, Dad,
Thank you, everyone for being here,
This really means a lot,
I am not one for big parties, so needless to say,
this really stressed me out,
But seriously, I'm so grateful,
I have the best family in the world,
They've always been there for me,
They are here for me, there for me, literally everywhere for me,
I love them for that,
And Will too,
He's always there for me,
He's such a great guy, that,,,
I'm sorry, I can't do this,
Will isn't actually my boyfriend,
I made an arrangement for him to pretend to be my boyfriend
so that I would have a date for this party,
so my family would get off my back
and I could focus on work,
I was too tired of feeling the pressure from everyone
to get a boyfriend even though I know
they just wanted me to be happy,
I tried to give them want they wanted to make them happy,
It was an act,
I know I shouldn't have lied to you guys,
But Mom and Dad,,,
You guys were right,
It is so nice to have someone special in your life,
To care for you, who is there for you,
to laugh with you, all of it,
Even if it was just pretend,
Will's not out here right now, but,,,
I just wanted to tell him I'm sorry,
He is the perfect guy for someone,,,
If he ever wants that,
And I hope that someday he may want that,
Because getting to play Will's girlfriend
made me realize that what I really want
is to be Will's girlfriend,
Great speech,
I think it went over well,
Not funny,
How do you feel?
Relieved,
Sad, but relieved,
Yeah, I bet,
I'm sorry, sis,
Hey, you and Mia?
When were you going to tell me about that?
Yeah,,, you know, that sorta just happened recently,
Seriously, I'm thrilled!
I'm glad you're finally seeing what was right in front of you,
Oh, I've always been into her,
I just wish she'd given me a sign or something,
You would've needed a clobber over the head to see it,
Yeah, maybe,,,
She's the first woman I've dated that I could see myself,,,
hanging up the bat for,
Wow,,,
Big step, baby bro,
Although you almost made her miss the event with Delaney,
Didn't appreciate that very much!
What?
What are you talking about?
You! Her side project?
Mia had a side project, but she wasn't referring to me,
What was it then?
You haven't seen it?
Come with me,
Oh my goodness,,,
Sushi and soufflé,,,
Not bad, huh?
Happy birthday, Callie,
Mia!
This is so sweet,
I needed a pick me up after that speech,
I can't believe you did all of this,
Of course I did,
You're my best friend!
So this was the side project?
Yeah, I didn't want to tell you obviously,
What did you think I meant?
I thought maybe you meant you and Kyle?
You guys kept that a secret from me,
Glad that finally happened,
I would never refer to Kyle as a side project!
More of a fixer-upper,
I'm right here,,, until now,
You're the best friend anyone could ask for,
You too,
Thank you,
Of course,
Honey,,,
We're here to apologize,
We're sorry for pressuring you,
We had no idea how overbearing it was,
We just want your happiness,
Thank you,
I'm sorry about the whole Will thing,
I wish I came clean earlier,
We love you so much, Callie,
We'll never be overbearing again!
Or at least,,,not today,
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Callie dear, it's Delaney,
Listen, I don't want to disturb you,
but I had to call to tell you,
and I hope you won't be disappointed,,,
Everything happened so last minute,
I had to rewrite my entire pos, and it's going up tomorrow,
I know that's not very much warning,
so I apologize, I hope you're not terribly thrown,
Umm,,,
Oh right, silly me,
Long Table Catering is my #1 pick
for Delaney's Delights this month,
Congratulations!
What is it?
We're going on the homepage of Delaney's site!
We're her #1 pick!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome, let's talk early next week,
Also, I have a connection with a national food magazine
I think could be very interesting for you,
Amazing, thank you Delaney!
We did it!
What's going on?
We're Delaney's #1 pick!
Wow, you really made us look like fools, didn't you?
Believing the whole Will thing?
We needed the wake up call!
I haven't dated in such a long time,
I forgot what it felt like to have people asking all the time,
It wasn't fair of us,
Thank you, Amanda,
Now, I just need to talk to Will,
Have you seen him?
I have, actually,
He,,, he just left,
Really, he left?
I'm sorry, Callie,
It's fine, it's probably for the best, really,
Hey you, doing okay?
Just dandy,
We're about to do the cake, okay?
I'll be there in a minute,
Yeah, you're gonna be busy for a little bit,
Hi,
Hey,
That was a nice speech,
You heard it?
Yeah, I was in the back,
I thought you left,
I did,
I had to go get your present from my car,
Do you remember our first "date"?
Of course,,,
I was kicking myself later,
Because there was all that talk about seahorses,
How they mate for life and I thought they were fools,
Yeah, why?
Because that was the day I first knew that
I wanted to be with you forever,
I was the fool,
I'm in love with you, Callie,
I'm a seahorse,
One for you, one for me,
You're not saying anything,
It's a dumb gift, I know,,,
I'm looking for the right words to say,
I think they're just,,,
I love you too, Will,
Yeah?
On a scale of 1-10?
Okay,,,
11,
Hey everyone, it's cake time!
Cake!
Flowers,
Thank you, they're beautiful,
You're beautiful,
She's coming now!

Yeah, your novel?
