a few words. Thank you so much for making
my time at Hope & Associates a wonderful experience. I can't believe
that I'm leaving. I'm gonna miss you guys so much. It's gonna be really strange
not coming in to work every day and... oh! Oh, and I'm sorry, there should
also be a lobster special. I pre-ordered it weeks ago.
Obviously. (laughing) OK, although I am very sad
to be leaving, I am super excited
about the opportunity to work for Floating Lotus. Thank you all for your well
wishes and for the gifts. Let's eat! Cheers. What is... Sorry. Hi.
(laughing nervously) Sorry, I think that there has
been some sort of a mix-up. You see, that is my lobster. I pre-ordered it. - Oh, man, that sucks.
This is the last one. - What?
- I know. Anyway, no big deal, Maitre D said he's gonna
get you something else. - I don't want something else.
If I wanted something else, I would have ordered
something else. - It's so good, right? I told you that food critic
was dead on. - Really? Right in front of me? - It's getting cold. - I have been wanting this
for over a week now! - You are absolutely right,
I am so sorry. I saw it, she wanted it.
It was a whole thing, trust me. But I tell you what,
I'm gonna get your whole table's
dinner and drinks, OK? Unlimited, on me.
- No. - Excuse me? Hi. Anything that table wants
goes on here. Hi, there! Hi.
I'm the lobster thief. Hi. Order whatever you want tonight,
I'm gonna take care of it. OK? Enjoy. - No. Keep my lobster
and you keep your money! (sighs) Thank you. (laughing) - Oh, man. It's true, though. (man chuckling) <i>- Your voice is your most</i>
<i>powerful currency.</i> <i>How can you expect someone else</i>
<i>to appreciate your voice's value</i> <i>if you're unable to see</i>
<i>the value yourself?</i> - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. (squeals excitedly) Femi! - Welcome to
Floating Lotus, girl. - I can't believe I'm finally
here. Look at you! - Ah, it's so good
to have you here. Femi and Sophie back together. It's gonna be just like college
but, you know, not as wild. (laughing) George and Amanda
will be with you in less than two minutes.
- Wow, OK, very efficient. - Amanda says that time
is an underrated currency. - I agree. I didn't think
that I could admire her any more than I already do,
but here we are. - They were gonna send a PA
to meet you and I was like, "Hell, no.
That's my girl Sophie." - Oh, welcome to our space,
Sophie Martinez. You blew me away
in the interview. I can't wait
to see you in action. - It is great to see you again. - There you go. - Amanda, this is beyond
an honour. Your cover of TIME 100
was breathtaking. Everything you said
about investing energy in the right people was spot on. (chuckles)
- Thank you, you are too kind. - And Mr. Sharpe, I was a little
shy to say in the interview, but you actually spoke at
my graduation years ago at NYU. - Oh!
(chuckling) - I will simply leave you
with this. Be your own hero. - Oh, looks like
we have a super fan. - Yeah, I-I'm gonna
stop talking now 'cause I sound like
a crazy person. - Oh no, not to worry.
Thanks, Femi. - Thank you. - Do me a favour.
- Mm-hmm? - Never apologize for being the smartest person in the room. If you have the knowledge,
own it! - Thank you. - Well, shall we?
- Yes, please. (George): So this is the
executive suite area and,
of course, your office... Thank you all for letting us
borrow your valuable time. - We'd like to introduce
our new relationship life coach,
Sophie Martinez. (Femi): Woo! (applause) - Sophie here graduated at the
top of her class at NYU. She has a master's degree
in psychiatry. And she comes to us after
ten years at the Brooklyn firm of Hope & Associates. Is there anything
you'd care to add, Sophie? - This is what I've always
dreamed of. Thank you for exceeding
my expectations. - Well, we only work
with winners here, so you'll fit right in-- (man): So sorry. So sorry, so sorry. Traffic. So sorry. Hi, Femi. - Jason! We just assumed
you wouldn't be here. - Amanda, what can I say,
you make it a delight. (chuckles)
- You! - Oh, hey. Lobster lady,
small world alert. Are you following me? - I could ask you
the same thing. How did you know
that I worked here? Who let you in the building? - Well, I asked you a question
first, lobster lady. - Stop calling me that!
- Can someone explain what is going on here?
- Sophie, this is Jason... (Sophie): OK.
(George): ...Sharpe. - Hardly.
- My son! Jason Sharpe. - That's my dad. - Oh. - For the record,
I do work here. I'm not a trespasser.
- I... Mr. Sharpe... I-I... - I don't know, I think
you owe me an apology, right? - No, you owe me an apology. - Oh, do I?
- Yeah. Thank you for ruining
my last day at my old job, and now ruining my first day
at my new job. (sighs)
- Oh, Sophie! - Ow!
- What is wrong with you? - Jason, can I see you
in my office, please? - Sure, Dad. - Feeling better?
- Yeah. I think so. It's just not how I wanted
to start my first day. - What I want to know is how
do you already know Jason? - A very long story involving
a stolen lobster meal. (Femi laughing)
- That sounds like Jason. He's just a goofy guy. I won't lie, it takes some time
to get used to his style, but you'll soon see that
he's one of the good guys. - I'm not convinced. You
could've warned me about him. - Do you want my advice?
- Mm-hmm... - There's more to Jason Sharpe
than meets the eye. Save yourself a world of pain
and forget whatever nonsense he did when you first met.
He's like the prince of this company,
everyone loves him. And he is a great
relationship life coach. - I don't know how you can spend
an hour with that person, let alone a decade. - I'll admit it,
I didn't love his personality when we first met,
but it takes time, and you need to give him
a chance. - Sounds cute
and all, but no. No, I can't imagine a world
where me and His Royal Highness ever become buddies! No! Hopefully, he's just
never in the office and we never cross paths. - And don't think
we haven't heard things
swirling around you, missy. You squashed a mediation
in two hours? You keep pulling magic like that and we'll all be out of a job
by the end of the year. Your records are
putting us to shame. - Hmm. Thanks.
- You got this. - I can do this.
- Yeah. (chuckling) (indistinct chatter) (George): Hey.
- Hi, I am so glad to have caught you both. I am so sorry about earlier. - Oh, no worries.
The past is past. Actually, I'm glad
we caught you. As you and Jason already
seem to know one another, we thought you could partner
on an upcoming case. (laughing): Partners! As in being in the same space
on a regular basis! - Well, yes. Our new clients,
Thea and Alyx Green, are having a little trouble
with their marriage and they could use
some guidance. - The newspaper heiress and
social media CEO? That's huge. - Mm-hmm.
- That's a lot of responsibility for Jason, George. Now, look. I normally handle all high tax bracket clients so I would be more than happy
to oversee this with Sophie. - Now I understand that, Amanda,
but Jason needs to do this. - But can he do this? - Oh, well, with Sophie here
I'm sure he can. Your reputation makes you
the best person to handle this. - Yup, I'm on it. You can count on me.
- Excellent. - Great. Just great.
- Great. - That's great. - Shall we? - Thank you, sir. - So you two are partners now. (laughing) (Sophie): Yeah, you're right.
It's gonna be OK. (Femi): It will.
You'll be fine. - Mm-hmm. - Be nice.
- I'm very nice. So, I'm guessing my dad told you
the exciting news. - Yup, I'm stuck with you. - OK. Do you always say exactly
what's on your mind? - Amanda once said
in an interview that... (both): ...honesty is freedom. - You're an Amanda super fan,
awesome... Uh, listen, lobster l... - Sophie.
- ...Sovie. - Sophie.
- Sophie. You're new here and I know you're very fast
and very good at your job, but it's gonna be a lot easier
if you let me take the lead on this one, OK? Trust me. - How about no? - Just no, just like that.
Just no, OK. Why don't we find
a middle ground? Finding a middle ground
is what we do. Let's do a brainstorming
session... Except I left my laptop
at my place. So that's gonna be problematic. - You came all the way
to work without your laptop. Of course you did.
- OK, easy on the tone. My place is very close to here
and this office is way too office-y.
It's the worst. Why don't we work from my place? - Mm... Yeah, I'm not sure
that's a good idea. - Look, if we go late, I'll even
cook to say... I am sorry. - Fine.
- Great. This is gonna be great. We're gonna have fun.
- Mm-hmm... - And we're collaborating. (clears throat)
Yep. OK... Okie dokie. Here we go. - So, Alyx and Thea Green. They've been married for just
a little over eight months. - Eight months.
- No kids. - I don't know, do we want kids? - Alyx likes to burn the
midnight oil at the office. - Works too hard... - Mm-hmm, and Thea likes
to hit up the hottest spots
in New York. - She's cool. - They couldn't be anymore
opposite. - Well, opposites attract. - So, what's the grand plan? - We start with
a natural approach, getting them to truly listen
to each other. - That's it? - Well, sometimes starting
with the simplest way is the best way. - Well, my idea,
is goal measurement personality overview,
a rescripting of key moments
in the relationship, and reviewing
how to maintain goals. - Wow, that's, that's good. It's clinical, um,
and just so I'm clear, what's wrong with
having them talk it out
and we casually supervise? - Well, because there's
no proven research to show
that that works. OK, can you please just go
with me on this? - Ah, I did promise
I would cook, didn't I? Look, we can't make decisions on a couple's marriage
on an empty stomach. It's... It's wrong,
it's unethical. Trust me, it's no fun. Really. - If I do eat this "meal", can you please promise
to let me take the lead
on the Greens case? - What does "meal"... Why did
you do "meal" in air quotes? Prepare to be wowed, OK? Prepare yourself for the
third-best meal you've ever had. - Thank you. It's edible. (whispers): Wow. (upbeat music) OK, let me take the lead. - Yes, absolutely. - I want to spend this first
meeting working with the Greens trying to figure out
what they want to achieve
through this mediation. And then get them to write
down some end goals. - Aye aye, captain. (Sophie): Great. And then
what you can do is-- - Yo! Yo! - I thought you were joking
when you said you were
gonna be on this. - Oh, come on. Nonsense.
My two favourite people on the entire planet
are in trouble, I am here to save love. Hi. - You all know each other.
- Yeah, since private school. - Yeah, how's your dad? - Thankfully, on a yacht
playing golf in Sydney. How's George?
- Eh, same old. - I'm Sophie,
if anyone's interested. - I am so sorry, I completely
high-jacked this meeting. This is Sophie Martinez,
who is like a hundred times
smarter than me, allegedly. - Thank you, Jason,
with the hyperboles. - I got you.
- Hey. Please, take a seat. Thank you for coming in. Can I first applaud you
for taking this important step
in your relationship? I don't want you to see this
mediation as a resuscitation, but rather as an opportunity to take pause and check in
with one another. - Aww... It looks
so pretty outside. Hey, I wonder if the botanical
gardens would be busy right now. (laughing)
- You remember that? - Remember what?
- Our first date. - Can you believe this genius
over here was gonna take Thea to see, what, a guns-blazing
Vin Diesel movie for their first date? - Who doesn't like
a Vin Diesel movie? Jason suggested I take her
to the botanical gardens, and I think he said,
"Be original, dude." - And he did.
- You know what? Why don't we go?
Why don't we go right now, this room is way too roomy. - Uh, no, we have a mist
machine, it's really nice here, plus all of our documents
are here. We should probably stay.
(Sophie sighs) (Alyx): Hello? Yeah? - What happened
to me taking the lead? - I was just flowing
with the energy in the room, it's kind of my thing.
But it's all you, OK? From here on out, you got
the lead. It's you, OK? (Sophie sighs) OK. I want you both
to take your minds back to your very first date, OK? What words would you use to describe how you were
feeling that day? - Nervous.
- Mm-hmm. - Stressed.
- Yeah. (Alyx): Awkward.
- Awkward. OK, any positive words? All right, uh, new plan. Alyx, I want you to take Thea
over to the greenhouse, just the two of you.
Find a plant that you think is the other person's
least favourite. (both chuckling)
OK? So you're gonna find this ugly plant, but you're
gonna talk about it positively, using positive words. The goal here is to see it
from the other person's
point of view. OK, and it could be fun. OK, you got this. - How are we meant to monitor
and make notes for our report if we have no one to report on? - I think we should give them
some time alone. Trust me, I know them. - Thanks for omitting that. - You never asked. (sighs) - Great.
(chuckling) - Hi, how's your day going? - And how was I meant to ask? Has your work style
always been this... unique? - I haven't lost a client yet. - Right, you probably
bribe them to stay. - What was that?
- Nothing. (squeaking) (in a high-pitched voice):
Hello, Sophie. (squeaking) I promise you I'm not shellfish. But I think we should be
friends. - We should probably
call them back. - High-claw.
(squeaking) Low-claw.
Don't be crabby! (squeaking) (muttering) - Hey! Hey! Over here! (Thea): Hey!
- Oh! (chuckling) So, I have to apologize
on Jason's behalf. He has a very unique approach. We wouldn't normally send off
a couple on their own devices. - That's OK.
It's been nice being here, remembering the good times. - Yeah. But we already
knew that so... - That's, that's very positive,
but while I have you two alone, why don't we set up a new
meeting just the three of us to help improve your
communication. I have worked with couples
with your predicament... - Hey!
- ...in the past and we-- - Hi, guys.
Hey, here. - What's... what's this?
- What are you talking about, it's a plushie, remember? You literally just begged me
to buy this for you, like, two seconds ago.
You kept doing that weird lobster voice which
was very funny by the way. - I definitely did not do that. - Here. So kids, hello.
How we doing? What have we learned?
(sighs) (Alyx): This place comes
with turtles. (Jason): It does. (screams)
(gasping) - What happened? - Did those kids just
shoot you in the face? - Could we get
some towels, please? - Is there a water?
Or maybe not water. - Let's just catch up tomorrow,
I'm gonna head home. It was lovely to meet you both.
Jason! Always a pleasure. I'll see you tomorrow
at the office. OK. (sighs) (in a high-pitched voice): Bye. Uh, so what plant did you pick? - So that was... a lot. (chuckling)
- They have issues. - Do you think they can
fix this, fix us? - Honestly, I don't know. But Jason's basically
the brother I never had, so I trust him. - Yeah. I trust him too. And that Sophie girl
seems... good? I guess. - Hey, I'd be
all over the place too if I had to work
with the guy every day. (laughing)
- Remember when you and Jay tried to sell ice-cream
sandwiches in the park
after school? (chuckles)
- How could I forget? Worst day of my life. - You literally had smoke coming
out of your ears every day. - That was a very
teachable moment. Be friends with Jason,
don't work with Jason. (phone ringing)
Oh. - It's fine, take it.
Sure it's important. - Brody, hey. No, uh, I can talk. (phone ringing) (clears throat)
- Hey! <i>- How'd it go with the Greens?</i> - Great. Yeah, really great. <i>- Please do not lie to me.</i> - Working with Jason
has been awful. And then the day ended in a
disaster, I am so embarrassed. - Oh, Sophie, I'm so sorry
this is happening. - It has been exhausting.
You know, he's late, he never listens, and he is
distracted all the time. And then this evil little kid
squirted water in my face and I bet you
that Jason paid him to do it. (sighing) I can't believe
that George and Amanda are forcing us to work together. <i>- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.</i> <i>Is the kid real or is that some</i>
<i>type of metaphor?</i> - Real! This has been my dream
since college. You know, I've always wanted
to work with Amanda, and now, this is just turning
into a nightmare. - Listen, you're a smart cookie, so rise above his antics and
just keep a professional head. (beeping)
Oh, uh, I've got another call coming in. Lunch tomorrow? - Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. Professional head, right. <i>- Femi!</i>
- Jason... I just saw your email
about the baby shower, and don't you think
it's a little over the top? - Fem, as the godfather
of your future child, I believe it is my duty to throw
you an over-the-top shower. - OK, if you say so. - So vegetarians, vegans,
gluten-frees are accounted for, balloons are booked.
Cellist, booked. Ice sculpture, booked. - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Excuse me, but I didn't sign off on an ice sculpture. - Ah, yes. We have
an ice sculpture now. - This is what I mean.
All I need is some place to sit and to be within
walking distance of a bathroom,
and then I am blessed. The guests won't care.
Oh, um, speaking of which, can you put Sophie on the list? - Are you sure she'd wanna come? People normally have fun
at baby showers. - So she's a little old-school. - She doesn't know how to go
with the flow, it's exhausting. -She's so smart and beautiful, she doesn't need to be so strict
and stressed out all the time. - Hold on, back up. Did you just
call Sophie smart and beautiful? Should we maybe put
the ice sculpture on hold
for your wedding reception? - OK, I get the hint.
I'll cancel the ice sculpture. - We both know you take a while
to warm up to. Sophie just needs time. - You know what?
You are very wise. You have given me a great idea for how we can live
in total harmony. I just need to find out what
she likes and do more of that. <i>OK, let's see...</i> Sophie... OK, family pics, volunteering
at a homeless shelter, wow. Family pics. Bridesmaid. Running pics. Jackpot, baby. (rhythmic music) (exhales) ♪ Wake up to your new reality ♪ ♪ Slow down 'cause there

- Yeah? In brand-new running gear? (laughs dismissively) - Fine. I like new things
and new challenges, and giving new things
and new challenges a chance. - Stick to the gym! - God, I'm in bad shape. OK, how about a joke?
- How about silence? - What do runners with bad shoes
feel? The agony of defeat. OK, that was really bad.
That was really bad. OK, what do sprinters eat before
a race? Nothing, they fast. Even worse, I know. You smiled
a little bit though. Oh! Oh, I am so sorry. (barking) - All right, thanks for the
laugh, partner. - I am so sorry. Hi. Hi, there. (Femi): I wonder why we're here. - Hey, what's going on? - Did you not get Jason's email?
- I did. It was very vague. Treasure maps have more detail. (laughing) "I'll provide a bark that will
help bring the spark. Come to the fountain."
It doesn't even rhyme. - He was never great at English. -- Does he always do this? (mischievous music) How does anyone get any work
done around here? - Hi, everyone! Hi! Sorry to be so vague
in the email, but it's hard to type
and wrangle these fellas
at the same time. I thought with everything
going on in the office lately, we could all use a little
morale booster. - Aww.
(Amanda): Jason. Are you working hard?
Or hardly working? - Good one.
(barking) Oh, don't be embarrassed. Dogs just have a sixth sense
on picking up people's vibes. It's a skill. (Jason laughing)
- So sweet. - So if you have them
for the day, when are you gonna write up your half of the Greens
progress report? - It's all up here. Listen,
why don't we start fresh? Let's take these guys
around for the day and talk
about the Green case. - I guess I'll just
write the report myself. I'm gonna get back to work. (George): Oh, there she is.
Come in, come in. Welcome. Welcome to my safe space. - Thank you. Can I start by saying thank you
for trusting me with the Greens. - Oh, well we have every faith
in you and Jason. The two of you give off
a very positive aura
when you're together. (sighs) - To be honest, George,
and I hope that I don't
cause any offence, I feel more like Jason's
babysitter than his partner. - She's a smart girl, George. She'll figure it out eventually. - Figure out what? - Well, look. The truth is,
your job is to babysit Jason. Look, I'll be completely
frank with you. I've been doing this
for a very, very long time
and I'm looking to retire. And I made my late wife
a promise, so I plan to hand
the reins over to Jason, but he's still a little green
in certain areas. Everyone around here
wants to be his friend
rather than be guided by him. But I mean, you,
you're a straight shooter. - Thanks?
(chuckling) - And I know that you'll get him
to step up his game. - Sorry, but I always assumed
that Amanda would take over given that you're VP
and that you've worked
so hard for this company. - Yeah, but this is
a family business. My wife Claire and I set it up
for our son to take it over. - Sophie, we admire
your confidence in wanting to take
the Greens case solo, but Jason does have history
with the couple, so discretion is paramount. If the press should get wind
of this, well, it could spell the end...
for all of us. - Exactly. Press is a big no-no. - This is all about
minimal impact. - Got it. So, no pressure. (laughing) I still think I could seal
this case if I was on my own. - Time is so important
and you're famous for your speed
in resolving cases. Now, um, if you can't turn Jason
into the relationship life coach he needs to be, your time here
might be very short. - Noted. Thank you. (knocking) Seriously? How does he have
so much energy all the time? I'm gonna give you a piece
of my mind, Jason Sharpe. - Soph! Pull up a chair! - I think I'm gonna stand.
Listen... - This is who I was
talking about, the one and only
Sophie Martinez. Sophie, gang. Gang, Sophie. Here, let me get you some food,
yeah? Or maybe a margarita? -- No.
- If you're feeling fun. - I'm not staying.
- No? - Jason, I need to talk to you
about your workload. Um, we need to prioritize
the tasks that I've assigned. It's a formula that works
and I just need you to be
on my team... - I am so sorry.
- Jason. - You gotta hold that thought.
Oh, I gotta do this. - Is he always like this?
- This is my jam right now. Excuse me, can you turn this up?
(lively music) - Can't you see I'm trying
to talk to you? - Sophie, all we do is talk.
Come on, have some fun. Come on, we're off the clock.
- OK, I don't dance, Jason. - What are you talking about
you don't dance? A life without dance is like
life without water or air. I think you just need a little
bit of encouragement. Sophie, Sophie, Sophie. - No, no, no.
- Yeah, this is happening. (all clamouring) - The people love you.
Sophie! Sophie! - OK, OK, OK. Provided that
we talk like partners. - We're partners. - I don't know what game
you're playing here, but I need you to stay focused
on the Green case. There are a lot of people
who are relying on us to get
them to reconcile. - The Greens, tomorrow. Today, we dip. (tango music) OK, I did not see this coming. Oh, we're doing this.
- Mm-hmm. -- Oh, yeah. You just said you can't dance. - I can dance, I don't dance,
it's very different. - Ah. Oh, oh! Oh!
(grunts) (Sophie sighs) - I gotta go. It was lovely meeting you all. See you back at the office,
yeah? - I'll see ya. (soft music) - I'm worried the two of you
aren't getting along. - What?! We're like
Simon and Garfunkel. - They broke up.
- OK, Siegfried and Roy. - Do you not read the papers? - Penn and Teller?
- Perfect, you could be Teller. - Which one doesn't talk?
- This is what I mean. The atmosphere in this office
is suffocating and it's distracting everyone. Now, I'm gonna book the two
of you into the Retreat Centre. - Oh, no, Dad.
There's really no need and I don't think Sophie
would want to. - I think it's a great idea.
- It is? - Yeah, the Floating Lotus
is an institution and I've always wanted to visit,
admittedly as an employee, not a client.
- Wonderful. I'll have Jodie
make the arrangements. - Well, since we're taking
things off-road, I think we should add Alyx
and Thea to the guest list. I really think
we need to surround them
with positive stimuli and I can't think
of another time when those two
were happy and drama-free than when we would spend summers
at the retreat. - You know, that might
not be a bad idea. Just promise me you'll be
on your best behaviour,
no late-night fishing. - Don't worry about it.
It's not important. - And keep in mind,
the two of you are gonna be on your own with our
two biggest clients. Please conduct yourselves
appropriately. Now, how this pans out
will reflect on both your futures with this company. Do I make myself clear? - 100 percent.
- Absolutely. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Bye, Dad.
- Goodbye, Jason. (sighs) (Sophie): Jason, do you always
drive this fast? (Sophie sighs) Jason, can you slow down?! So, are you going to tell me about this late-night
fishing incident? - All right, but you can't
judge me. - No promises. - So Alyx and I used
to spend summers here when his parents were away. So one night, we wanted
to go late-night fishing, but we didn't have any bait.
So we decided we should use slushies and pour them
into the river. - Seriously?
- We thought the fish would be drawn to the sugar,
and pollution was kind of
a new thing back then. Anyway, camp security
came running over and it scared us so much
that we jumped into the river, and when we came out,
we discovered that while fish
don't really care for sugar, mosquitoes and horseflies
really do. Next thing we know,
we're in our underwear getting aloe vera gel thrown
at us by the camp leaders. - Well, folks,
that's what we call karma. - Hmm. Could really go for
a slushie right now though. After you.
(Sophie): Thank you. - Ah, welcome to the
Floating Lotus Retreat Centre where we aim to mend
your fences. It's a dreary day out there! I'm David. Mr. Sharpe.
- Hi. - I'm sorry, I didn't realize
it was you. Oh, welcome back. It's an honour, sir.
- Please, please. - Mr. Sharpe is here!
- No, that's unnecessary. OK, if you insist. - Thank you. There you are, some
non-alcoholic drinks for you. Now, here are your keys and your
confidentiality agreements. Now I need this signed
before your first activity. Now, shall I sign you up
for the couple's package? - Um... A couple?
No, um, definitely not. (chuckling) Mr. Sharpe and I
are work colleagues, we are definitely not together. - However, Alyx and Thea Green
are our guests and they'll be arriving
this evening. - Oh, OK. Well, that's great. May I suggest a hike
this afternoon? - Sure. Let's hike.
- Great. - Great! OK, then. Well,
I'll just let you two settle in. (laughing)
Enjoy your stay. - All right, thank you, David.
All right, follow me. Hi, there. - Could you help the lady?
Thank you so much. (Sophie): Thank you.
- Excellent. I look forward to that hike. (sighs contentedly) - The drive in was fine,
apart from Jason's driving. Except that when we were
signing in, they asked if we were a couple.
Can you believe that? In what universe? - You guys are always,
you know... <i>- No.</i> Not you, too. No way. - I've got eyes and ears, honey. - Pray tell,
how am I meant to be with a guy that I can spend, what,
max an hour with? That doesn't seem like
the strongest foundation
for happily ever after. - All I'm saying is you seem
to be less angry when you're talking about him.
Friends, maybe? (sighing)
- Doubtful. - Hey, neighbour. Crazy I'm in the room
next to yours. Beautiful place, isn't it? - I'm gonna call you back. (chuckles)
- I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm having serious separation
anxiety from the city, but there's just something
about the country air that just grounds you, right? - Hmm. We're gonna need
some ground rules. - OK. - The biggie being scheduled
time-outs. Is that OK? - Sure, whatever you need. - Great. I'm gonna
take one right now. - OK.
- OK. - What's a scheduled time-out? Scheduled time-out... Yeah, I can't use
aloe vera gel anymore. (David): I can understand why. - Hey, how was your
scheduled time-out? - It was delightful, thank you. - Sophie, are you ready
for that hike? - Mm-hmm.
(chuckling) And, might I add, that this
has been on my bucket list of places to visit
for years now. - Wow, love the enthusiasm. Now, just to give you a bit
of brief history. Decades ago, when the company
finally broke even, George Sharpe and
his late wife, Claire, they were exhausted.
Their relationship was strained, they had taken on
too many responsibilities. So George decided to have a
weekend away at a pottery class. A place to have them open up
about their feelings. - Uh, that was actually my mom
who suggested that, not him. - Oh, yes. No, you're absolutely
right, Mr. Sharpe. It was your mother, Claire,
who suggested the pottery. Well, the couple, they were so
inspired that they saved up, they bought a plot of land, and they built this
beautiful retreat. Which is what Floating Lotus
is now. - And it has become
award-winning. - Yes, exactly.
Whilst you're here, you'll have access to tennis,
hiking, fishing. And mediation sessions to help
with your communication. On the last night, we ask all our participants to
gather at the promise tree, where you'll make promises
to each other before tying a ribbon
around a branch of the tree, which symbolizes your commitment to continue working
on your relationships. - And what if we don't... What if they don't make it
to the promise ceremony? - Oh, I know you may feel
that way now, but we are here
to support you. I have total faith
in both of you. Now, are we ready for that hike? - Mm-hmm. (radio static) - Excuse me.
Yes, Charlie? David. - Sounds like there's a lot to
do over the next couple of days. (David): I'm with clients. (sighs) I'm so sorry, uh, I have to go
back to base. - No worries, David.
I think we can handle this
on our own. Right? - On our own, yes, right.
- Have a great hike. - Thank you.
- Thanks. (sighs) (screams) - Oh, oh, my ankle.
- Oh my God, oh my God. Oh my God. OK. OK.
You're fine. OK, don't panic. - Stop I'm OK, I'm OK.
- It's gonna be-- This is a disaster
I don't know CPR. - I don't need CPR. - Well, how do you
know that, Sophie? - Because I'm breathing, Jason. - Yes, you are. I see that.
Good job, good work. - OK...
(groaning) - Here, I'm gonna
carry you back. - No! No, no.
No, absolutely not. Put me down, Jason!
- Let it out. - Put me down. OK, wow. Just give me that stick. - This? Great. (breathing heavily) - Thank you. Let's head back.
No talking and no panicking. Ah... (wincing) Yeah, we're OK. - I'm gonna talk now.
How's the ankle? - It's fine. I'm just
a bit embarrassed. - Come on, don't be embarrassed. Do you know how many times I've
ended up in the emergency room? I'm being serious.
(phone chimes) Oh, thank the techno gods.
We have a signal. That's weird. It's from Amanda.
She emailed me, but I think
it was meant for you. She wants to know if Alyx
and Thea are still here or if... "Jason has chased them away with his unique relationship
management methods." (scoffs) - Amanda wouldn't be
doing her job right if she didn't check in on us. - First, Amanda doesn't care.
Second, she just wants to see me fall flat on my face.
- I think Amanda has been very patient
and gracious towards us, especially with the stunts
that you pull. Oh! Sorry. The pockets of spontaneity
that you find. - Wow, thank you.
Thank you so much, that makes me feel so good.
- She's a successful businesswoman and she's the VP
of this company. Maybe if you spent more time
trying to do your job and less time trying to be
everyone's best friend, she'd be less worried about you. - I'm gonna get some air. - We're already outside.
- Just more air! Away from you! I'm taking a scheduled time-out. - Hey. - Hey. Hey, you're here! - Yeah! Thank you. - You OK? - Yeah, I can ask you
the same thing. We could hear the two of you
guys screaming at each other
from the car park. (sighs) - Look, you and Alyx know
I genuinely want to help you
save your marriage, right? - Of course. We wouldn't have
come to you for help if we didn't trust you. But Sophie also wants to help
and we trust her too. So what if she's a little bit
more corporate and likes doing things
by the book. Stop being difficult and go and
talk to her, like a grown-up. You got this.
- All right. (soft music) (fire crackling) Here. - Thank you. I struck a nerve earlier, huh? (crickets chirping) I just really struggle with you. I don't think that you do it
on purpose, but... I don't know
how to be around you. And you being related to my boss
just makes it harder. - You know, people think
this dropped on my lap. I had to fight for this job. Yes, the company
is being handed to me, but I want people to know
I can do it. I can be CEO. I have some big ideas
for this place. - Really? Like what? - OK. Take on a broader range
of clients from different tax brackets. There needs to be a way
we can help couples that can't normally afford us. Give the option
to all the relationship coaches to having theory
and practical training. Have weekly collab meetings
where we give and get advice, sharing what we all know. - That actually sounds
really smart. - Yeah... You know, I could be great
at this job. (sighs) - I know what you mean. Most days, I just feel
like a hamster in a wheel. I know that I can handle
the theory and the administrative side. But you... you've got an instant connection
with everyone that you meet. - Except you. - I guess. - You're not a hamster
in a wheel, OK? You're incredible at your job. My dad wouldn't have fired you
for any other reason. - Right.
- Hey, having my dad respect me the way he respects
and admires you is my dream. I know not everyone agrees
with my style, but I... I try and support the clients
instead of treating them like
numbers on paper. It's how my mom wanted
to run the place. Free-flowing, personable,
catered to each client's needs. She had this way
of making everyone's problems feel completely valid. I miss that. I miss her. - Obviously, I've never met her. But if that's how she wanted
the company to be, I think you're doing her proud. (gentle music) (Alyx chuckles) - This brings back
some memories. (Jason): Yeah, man, for sure. - Oh, look.
We've already got some. (whispering): Hey, psst. You have good judgment
with women. - I guess?
- What's your, uh, what's your take on Sophie? - I think she's pretty cool. - Cool. Cool, cool, cool. (laughing) Yeah, cool. - Seriously? We're your clients. - And you and Thea
are our number one priority. - Yeah, I'm not surprised.
You haven't taken your eyes
off her this whole trip. - No, that's not true. - Hey. Just fix us
first, please. - Hey, absolutely. OK, besides, I've only just
started to get her to talk to me
without driving her nuts. Baby steps. - That's my guy. - They haven't said
six words to each other. We need to help them rebuild
their communication. (grunts)
- I can't focus. It's so beautiful outside. It's like a deodorant
commercial out here. (geese honking)
- Excuse me? (with an accent):
Floating Lotus deodorant is guaranteed to leave
your underarms feeling refreshed
and ever-closer to the great outdoors.
- Please, stop. - I used to do a little bit
of voice work on the side. (with an accent):
Floating Lotus deodorant contains all natural ingredients and is available
at your local drugstore. - Very impressive. (with an accent):
Once you start this voice, it is very hard to stop. (in normal voice):
Oh, I got something. Here we go. Oh, it's a big one. Yeah. Come to papa. - Oh, wow. (all laughing) - All we need is some iced tea
and we'd be right back at your mom's tennis
tournaments. - Iced tea! That is a throwback. My mom was completely obsessed
with tennis. Every Wimbledon Final, she would host these epic
tennis tournaments. - And I'd beat him
nearly every time. - Did that happen?
Did that really happen? Does that lie come
with a challenge, sir? - Jason, we should let Alyx
and Thea... - You're on.
- Your serve, Federer. (Sophie sighs) Give me the juice!
(Alyx): Class is now in session. (grunts loudly) - 15-love! (Alyx): I hope you stretched
this morning. - Yeah, buddy, I'm limber. (both grunting) (Jason): Love-30. - All right. I saw
a little spin there, a little spin.
- Little bit of a spin. - No, no.
I see what the problem is. Thea, I think I could use
some help here. Doubles?
(Jason): Yeah, fine by me. Martinez, it's you!
(Alyx): We got this. (Jason): Let's do it. (Sophie): Let's do it. (grunts) (shouting) (Alyx): All right. 15-30. (Jason): That was a close one. Boom, that's good! (laughing) - One last one. (grunts) - Yes.
(Alyx): You got it, Thea! - Yes, oh... OK. OK, you guys win, you guys win. - That was so close! (Jason): You guys are good. - That was impressive. - Well, I'm an impressive girl. (Alyx): What do you say
we get a smoothie after this? (Thea): Sure.
- OK. - This went exactly the way that
I planned it, the whole time. - Yeah?
- Yeah. (soft music) - In an ideal world, no one
wants to raise their partner. For example,
if someone's not very organized, which I will admit
I am extremely guilty of myself, Sophie stop smiling.
(chuckling) But if you can help your partner
towards a better way of doing things in a way that
feels honest and respectful, and most importantly,
doesn't feel like a chore, it can be incredibly beneficial
to the relationship as a whole. (gentle music) - Thank you, Jason,
for that park session earlier. I think we can all agree
that you are very unorganized. (laughing)
That was my main takeaway. - That was the point
of the whole thing. - It's true. - On a more serious note, we are
going to shift gears slightly. And we're going to do
a rescripting exercise I like to call "In the Moment". It's going to be a bit intense. Feel ready?
- Mm-hmm. - OK. We are gonna start
with you closing your eyes. Keep going. Think back to a dark moment
in the relationship. - The day he proposed. (sighs) - It's OK, Alyx. We're gonna give Thea the space
to say what she wants to say, and then we'll come back to you. - He planned it all
with my assistant and got us to Scotland. He took me to John o' Groats
where Grandad is from. And we went to a hill,
he got down on one knee, and I said yes. But then, Alyx was upset
for the rest of the trip and we got into an argument
over something stupid. - Leaving parts out, as usual. - OK. Thea, are you comfortable
with Alyx to continue from here? - Fine. (Sophie): Great. - I wanted to propose to Thea.
I love her. But I felt pressured to do it
by her family and her best friend, Shelley. It was like they wanted it
on their terms. But I wanted it to be about us,
that's why we went to Scotland. - I'm so sorry that people
actually care about me and didn't want to see me
waste my time. - Waste your time,
what does that even mean? - You know exactly
what that means. - All I wanted was you.
Not your family, not your
friends, just you. And as soon as we were engaged,
even before we left the hill, your family's PR machine
went into overdrive... - OK, OK, OK. We're gonna stop
here for a moment. Thank you. - You know, fun fact
about John o' Groats, they're famous for a kind
of Scotch... It's not the time. - Really? (sighs) - OK. Alyx, when you're ready,
keep going. - Thea knew I was gonna
pop the question. She was dropping hints
the whole trip. She squealed every time
I went to tie my shoelace. I was so tired by the end that
the romance of it all was gone. - Stay in that moment. We are going to recreate
this crucial moment in the relationship.
I'm gonna be Thea. Jason, you're gonna be Alyx. Let's get up. - You're me. (Sophie): OK. OK, talk us through
how we should stand and feel in this moment. - Jay, you should be gazing
into her eyes, a little scared,
a little annoyed. - And Sophie,
you should be excited. - And what do you wish you
would've done in this moment? - Wish I'd taken her
by the hand. And wish I had said, not in a jerk way... ...that I felt pressured. And I'm sorry
for not speaking up sooner. (gentle piano music) - I wish I would've said, "I'm sorry for being
so intense." The moment was about
the both of us, not just me. (Alyx): I'm sorry. (Thea): I'm sorry, too. OK, so? What's next? (Alyx clears his throat) - OK. OK, that... That was good. - That was good. Good work. Breakthrough. - Let's take five. Just gotta process.
- OK, five minutes. That was amazing. I mean,
where did you learn to do that? How long did it take you? Did you have to take
a special role-play class? Is there an exam?
Is the exam hard? (chuckling) Seriously, you're like Yoda,
Freud, and Dr. Phil all in one. - Hey, breathe, Jason. But I do appreciate
the compliments. - It was kind of wild
holding hands, huh? - It wasn't awful. It was kind of sweet. I guess we'll see
if it all pays off tonight
at the promise ceremony. - Yeah, I'll see you then.
- Yeah, I'll see you then. - Bye.
- Bye, great. (Sophie chuckles) (Alyx): I promise to be there
for us, to make sure we have proper time
together, just you and me. - I promise to start
listening to you, be there for you,
rather than run away. - Look at them. It's working. - I think I'd rather
look at you. - OK. What's our promise? - OK. I know that my approach
hasn't always been-- - Helpful.
- I was gonna say traditional. But I promise you this... To be open to your ideas
and to try to help you instead of goofing off
or adding stress. Now you. - OK... Those were good. I promise to be more flexible,
sometimes. I promise to have your back
more, and to give you a chance. And to admit when I am wrong. - That's a good one. - Very nostalgic.
Haven't been back to the camp since we graduated college. It felt good to come back
and reconnect. - Morning, slowpokes. - Oh, hey. - You're awake. And you're here, but we're the ones
who are early. - Well, you can never be
too early. I have already checked us
all out, I got us breakfast vouchers for the dining hall,
and I wrote up a little worksheet you can both do
together to remember everything you accomplished this weekend. - Early and with worksheets. Who are you? - I'm impressed,
and a little scared. Are you Jason's long-lost,
more organized twin? Blink twice for yes. (laughing)
- Just trying out something new. Come on,
let's get these to your car. Oh, what did you bring?
Is that you? Oh my God. (funky music) (phone chiming) (laughing) (sighs) (indistinct mumbling) (phone chimes) (laughing) (Sophie laughing)
- Hey, superstar. - Hey, Amanda. Can I get you
anything? A water? (chuckling)
- That's so thoughtful of you. No, no, thanks.
I'm good. Does it ever bother you being
the only one in this partnership doing all the work?
- Not anymore. Jason and I are working
to our strengths. It's what makes us
a really great team. - Fair enough. Well, you and
Jason make a killer team. Now, I doubt that it was easy, but you tamed the untameable
Jason Sharpe. (chuckling) - There were some
teething problems at the start. But yeah, we're really good now. Permission to fangirl
for a moment? I have admired you
since college. Your authenticity is unmatched. I honestly believe that
I have a better handle on this Jason situation
because of you. He is finally almost
company president material. - Nice to hear. - Would you be free for lunch
one of these days? Once I wrap up
on the Greens case, I would love to pick your brain and hear about how you got
started in this business. I have listened
to all your podcasts, but I would love to hear your
origin story from you, directly. - Well, I'm always glad
to help people up the ladder. Now, some words of advice. You are Floating Lotus material, so you have gotta stay
laser-focused. Don't get too wrapped up in this
"Jason is amazing" train that everyone else
has been hopping onto. - I got to admit,
he's kind of worth the hype. Jason is good.
I mean, he's better than good. - Don't get too attached
to Mr. Good. - What do you mean?
- Mm? - What do you mean? (laughing) - You know what?
It's just tired brain rambling. (laughing)
Good night. (chuckling)
- OK. Have a good night. (phone dialing) - Gary? Hey, it's Mandy.
How's things? Um, listen. Is it too late
to send over a little story? Anonymously, of course. Great. (elevator dings) - Hey, everything OK?
Something happen? - Oh, yeah.
Everything's fine. I... - You never come over.
- Yeah, I... Hey, the place looks great. - Oh, thanks. - I just... I just wanted to say that you've
turned a corner recently, and it's been great
watching you grow. I'm proud of you. - OK, wow, um... Thank you. That means
a lot coming from you. Thanks for pairing me with
Sophie, we make a great team. (chuckling)
- Oh, I remember this. Your mother... She'd be proud of you, too. She definitely
left her mark in you. And I'm so glad she did. Anyway, I'll let you get on
with your evening. - Dad?
- Yeah? - Maybe we can order takeout
and watch the Mets game? - Yeah. I'd like that. - OK. (laughing) - Stay close, I don't wanna lose
you in this balloon forest. - Wow.
(laughing) Jason has really outdone
himself. I mean, what is this? - Ah, he's just excited.
- Hey! Keep those hands where I can see
'em, these are for the guests. Are you a guest?
- It's my party. Thank you, Jason.
This really is amazing. - My pleasure.
- You hungry, baby? Let me grab you some quiche. - Hey, I saw that.
I'm watching you. Hi, presents go right
over there. - And shall I hand this to you?
- Sure. You look... great, by the way. - Thank you. (Jason): Hey, welcome, guys. - I'm so glad you could
make it, George. - You're family!
Anything I can do
to help celebrate this next chapter in your life
is my pleasure. - Thank you.
(Jason): Make way, people! (George): Oh! - Godfather present
coming through! Four-wheel drive, Wi-Fi,
leather interior. Your little man
is gonna ride in style. - This is too much. Thank you! (laughing) (phone ringing) - Oh, I have to take this,
excuse me. - Is Amanda on her way? - Oh, she couldn't make it,
but she sent a gift. - Mm, that's unfortunate. - Social gatherings
aren't really her thing. - Neither are smiling,
children, or joy. (laughing) Did you just laugh at a joke
about Amanda? What is happening? - Clearly, someone has been
a bad influence on me. Maybe if we stop hanging out,
I'll go back to normal. - Look, I don't know
what you're insinuating here, but this is against
Floating Lotus' ethics. - What's going on? <i>(Thea): Jason, where have you</i>
<i>been? We're all over the news!</i> - We've been calling you for
over an hour now. Not cool, man. <i>- Sorry, we're at a baby shower.</i> - I'm sorry,
my phone was on silent. - "The Greens go grey
as marriage troubles plague
the power couple." "The grass isn't
always Green-er." OK, that last one's
not even clever. - Not helping, Jason! <i>- You're right, sorry.</i> Alyx, could you make
some type of code on your app that blocks your names, like, make it a curse word
or something? - Writing that type of code
could take weeks. - Could you ask your news
outlets to stop running
the story on TV? And stop anymore print papers
from going out. - Daddy can't do that.
It infringes on freedom
of press rights. We'd look biased. - Look, we are going
to work around the clock to ensure that this is
rectified ASAP. - Yeah, as long as those two
are nowhere near this. (sighs) (cameras clicking)
(both): Oh, Jesus. - How did this get out?
- No idea. Look, I'm so sorry. I know I was late,
but I'm gonna have to leave
and handle this. - Is there anything
I can do to help? - No, you're on maternity
leave now. Now, you rest. We'll handle it.
You just enjoy your party. Excuse me. - We have to get ahead of this.
Our jobs are on the line. - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - It's OK, go.
- Bye. - I'm sorry.
- Go. - We have no idea what happened
with this leak, but Jason and I had nothing
to do with it. - Dad, let us help, please. - I'm calling Amanda. I need an explanation
from you two within the hour. - OK. I'm gonna swing by
my place and grab my laptop. - And I will call the retreat
office to make sure that any documents the Greens
signed haven't gone missing. - OK. - No, no. I already
told your boss, no. We don't have
any comment at this time. I don't understand it. The only people who had access
to some of that information were the four of us.
- I honestly think this retreat was a very bad idea. - Well, I think
you might be right. - We made a lot of progress with the relationship there. The Greens relationship, I mean. - Yes, but were all the safety
protocols taken? Anyone could've followed
the four of you up there. A fan, a journalist,
or who knows, maybe Jason talked about the couple
to one of his buddies. - I think he can
get carried away, but I wouldn't think him capable
of something like that. - I haven't known Jason
a very long time, but he is wonderful
with clients. He is attentive and adaptable. I think Jason
is being scapegoated by someone who feels threatened by him. Reeks of a guilty move,
if you ask me. - I think it's admirable
how committed you are
to this role, Sophie. But need I remind you
that you are only pretending to like Jason
so you can keep your job. You're a babysitter
who needs to know her place. - Wait. Please, I can explain. - I'm sorry for the trouble
this has caused. - I don't know how
our reputation recovers from something like this.
- Dad, come on. Come on, don't say that.
We can figure this out. - Not this time, Jason. This type of damage control needs a seasoned pro
at the helm. - Why don't I take
the fall for the leak? I mean, everyone
thinks it's me anyways. - Well, that's very admirable
of you. And very grown-up. - All right,
you know what, Amanda? I don't really care
what you think. - Jason. Jason!
Enough. Stop. The leak is just
the tip of the iceberg. Your behaviour has been
unacceptable for years, the lateness,
the poor concentration. I wanted to pass this torch
onto you, but... - No, Dad, come on. Please give me another chance. - You've made it impossible. I have no choice. It pains me to say this, but... I'm gonna have to
let you go from Floating Lotus. You know the protocol, so just leave your ID
and the company equipment
at the front desk. - Jason, hey. Jason. Hey.
What the heck was that? - I'm never gonna be
good enough in his eyes. Apparently, I need a babysitter. - About that, context got lost. - No. I think I got it. You know, even though you were
pretending to like me, I actually did like you. I didn't want you to get fired. - I'm sorry. - Well, I hope you learn
a lot from Amanda and this job turns out to be
everything you wanted. - Why did you treat Jason
like that? - I honestly have no idea
what you're talking about. (scoffs) - You know, whenever I was
having a bad day at the office, I would just watch one of your
presentations online and all my worries
would wash away. You were a different
person in there. Jason didn't deserve that. Him and George were this close
to mending their relationship. Do you really not like
Jason that much? - Do you remember what I said
to you when we first met? - "Never apologize for being the
smartest person in the room. If you have the knowledge,
own it." - Over the past 20 years,
I have brought us some of the biggest clients
that George could only dream of. And for what? To have it all disappear
and be given to some child
with the right surname. - So you did do the leak. - I wasn't involved
in any unethical activity. But I'm not sorry
for the outcome. I only work
with winners, Sophie. Now, if you have
some free time next week, we should do that lunch. You have a future here
and I want to help you. - I'm busy next week. - Some other time, then. - Some other time. (laughing)
- I know, right? Hey! - Hey. - Are you OK? What happened? Guys, I'll meet you at the car. - I'm sorry.
I don't mean to do this, I just, I need your help and I didn't know
who else to talk to. - Of course, what's going on?
Is Jason OK? - Well, Jason took the fall
for the leak, and now, he won't talk to me
because he thinks I was just pretending to be his
friend which is sort of true. Ugh! This whole thing
is my fault. - That is not your fault.
He's a grown adult who made that decision all on his own. - Unless someone
forced his hand. - I don't understand. - Well, let's just say
that my idol, Amanda, is not as idyllic
as I first thought. - Those two have always butted
heads, I'm not surprised. Sophie, as long
as I've known you, you've always had a clear sense
of right and wrong, but that doesn't always leave
a lot of space for grey. - You're right. But don't get me wrong,
Jason is beyond annoying. But when he tries, he's passionate and he's funny. Like you said,
he's one of the good guys. - And he obviously cares
about you and doesn't want to see you hurt by this. - I don't know what to do. (upbeat music) (door buzzer sounding) - Yes, I hear you buzzing. Hello? <i>(Sophie): Jason?</i>
<i>Jason, it's Sophie.</i> <i>Please, please, can I come up</i>
<i>and just talk to you, please?</i> - It's not a good time. <i>- It's not what you think.</i>
<i>Please, let me explain.</i> (buzzer sounding) (elevator dings) (sighs) - Are you OK? What happened? - You know I worshipped her. And she doesn't care about
anyone but herself. And you were right all along
and I didn't listen. - Amanda? (agonized chuckling) Wait, did she confess to being
the leak? Do you have proof? - No. - Well, then there's nothing
we can do. - Everything's a mess. You know, this wasn't
how it was supposed to be. Fast and discrete,
that is my whole thing. And now, you can't
get on a subway without hearing
about Alyx and Thea... - Look, next week, it's gonna be
about another couple. News gets bored and moves on. - Maybe. I just...
This doesn't feel right. And I just know
that you're the only one
that can help me fix this. Jason, come back, please. You have this magic touch
with clients. - Yeah, well,
that doesn't mean anything if I can't be trusted
alone with them. - You know, I'm truly sorry for not giving you a fair chance
in the beginning. I wasn't just
pretending to like you. - Was any of it real? Or was it all so you could
get hired by my dad? - Are you kidding me? You're amazing.
You are wonderful with clients. You are creative,
you are engaging, you're always thinking
outside of the box. - Well, I am pretty fun. - I just got blindsided
and I panicked and I know that I was wrong
to approach it in this way. And I am very sorry. But you have to believe me when I say that I would never
do anything to hurt you. So now I'm willing
to put everything on the line to make sure that
everything is right. - Well, hopefully
you won't need to. Our friends asked us
to help fix their marriage, and that's what we're gonna do. - Great. Grab your coat.
We're going stationary shopping. (rhythmic music) One thing I've observed
as a common thread in their interactions is humour,
using you as a catalyst. Now, this might not work
this time since emotions
are heightened and, well, they don't really
like you right now. - Hard to hear, but I agree.
Alyx even blocked my number. I don't know, maybe I'll try him
through his mom? - OK, and location
may have to play a part.
Somewhere neutral. Now what's this with Alyx
and this Swedish supermodel? - Who Astrid? No. No, no, no.
She's dating Alyx's cousin. She's in town for a photo shoot.
You really shouldn't believe
everything you see on TV. - You should take the lead
on this. I trust you. - Let's get started, partner. Come on. (sighs)
- Come on. Hey, hey.
How are you holding up? (scoffs) Sorry, that was a stupid
question. Thank you for agreeing
to meet with me for lunch. I totally understand
that Floating Lotus did not meet
your expectations. - You could say that again. - Yeah. Look, I'm just hoping
that after we talk, we'll at least be OK
with each other again. - Look, I know you tried. Let's just go. I have a meeting
with my father later and he's not happy with me
so I don't wanna make
things much worse. - I get it. Absolutely. - You still mad? - Well, you didn't have
to call my mother. - I haven't spoken
to Michelle in years, I was calling to say "Hey" and happened to casually mention
you were screening my calls. - Listen, man.
My whole life with Thea is out there for the public
and it's not something-- - I know, I know,
and I completely understand if, after we sit down,
you never want to see me again. But we've been friends
for over half our lives, man. We owe ourselves
a conversation, right? - Well, I'm here, aren't I? (cameras clicking) - Hey, thanks for
giving this a chance. - Let's see how this goes first. Anyways, what did you drag me
down here for that couldn't be said
over the phone? - OK. Have a seat. - What is she doing here?
- Are you kidding me right now? You said it was just going to be
the two of us. - Wait, please.
You two have made a lifelong commitment
to each other. You can't seriously expect
to not be in the same room for the rest of your lives. Whatever you decide,
stay together, don't stay together, at least walk out of here
knowing that you tried. You wouldn't have come to us
in the first place if you wanted to give up. So, don't be brats. Sit down, talk it through, and see if this relationship
is worth saving. (sighing) - Hi. - Hi. - That was really good.
You were really good. - I came on too strong,
didn't I? Be honest,
on a scale of one to ten, do you think this is gonna work? - It's 7.5. (chuckling) But whatever happens,
I have really loved spending time with you. - Me too. - Look, you've opened my eyes. - Same. I can't think
of anyone else I would've rather gone
through this journey with. - You know, it's been weird
not spending every day with you at work. I guess that's my new normal. - Wherever you go, I go. - Wait, you're not giving
all this up, are you? This is your dream.
- Don't worry. I'm not giving up a job
for anyone. Lower your ego. I've just got different
priorities now. - I'm not going anywhere.
- I love you. - I love you, too. Nobody in the world
I'd rather fight with than you. (laughing) (cameras clicking) ♪ In my heart ♪ ♪ In my heart ♪♪ (George): I got your text. Hey.
(Thea): Hey! - What are you two doing here? - I'm guessing this was some
elaborate ploy by Jason. - Did the plan work? - Well, we've been talking and after everything
that's happened, we decided that we're not ready
to say goodbye yet. - Oh!
- I mean, we still have some ways to go,
but I can't think of anyone else I want to face it with.
- Well, that's wonderful news! - And we want to thank you all
for everything. I know you care. - Also, you might want to look
into that Amanda chick. - Amanda?
- Mm-hmm. The news world is small. It took a little bit of digging,
but someone came out of the woodwork and said that
she's to thank for the leak. (George sighs) - OK, thank you. And thank you for giving
Floating Lotus a second chance. (laughing) You've made my day. - Good luck, you guys.
(Thea): Bye! (George): Take care,
you crazy kids. (Thea laughing) Well, I don't know how you
pulled this off, but you did. Jason, you really proved
yourself on this. Look, I'm sorry that I ever
doubted you, really. Well done, both of you.
- Thanks, Dad. (George chuckling) - And Sophie, we gave you a
Herculean task when you came on. - I'm right here.
- And you have gone above and beyond every hurdle
that's come your way. Well done on embodying
what it takes to be a part of the Floating Lotus Family.
- Thank you, George. You have no idea how much it
means to hear you say that. - Now, um, if you'll both
excuse me, there's a vice president
that needs to be fired. - Get her, Dad. - I'm gonna need to lie down
after that. - I'm just glad you're back
in his good graces. - Oh, me too. Oh no, he didn't say if you were
back or not. I will go-- - No, wait, wait, wait. I don't want to work for my dad.
- What do you mean? I thought you loved your job.
- Of course I do, don't get me wrong, but... This whole experience
got me thinking, why don't we start our own
branch of Floating Lotus somewhere else?
In Atlanta or, I don't know, California.
(chuckling) - What about you taking over
the office in New York? - I think Femi is the right
choice for the job. She's the daughter
he's always wanted. You know, the old man actually
hired her before me. - That doesn't surprise me. - So, lobster lady... What do you say? - Well, someone has
to babysit you. (epic music) (lively music) Subtitling: difuze
