00:48:18bell
00:48:21bell bell
00:48:22hmm so many bells
00:48:24wow
00:48:24So much boring mail.
00:48:26No, uh, no Carson today?
00:48:28Oh, he's in Vegas for a bachelor party for one of his bros.
00:48:31Private plane, pricey cigars, high stakes poker.
00:48:34Sounds boring.
00:48:36They're great.
00:48:37Hey, uh, Is, are you, um, are you happy with Carson?
00:48:43Well, it's what the board chose, right?
00:48:45Yeah, but that's not really what I'm asking.
00:48:48Is that my mail?
00:48:50Well, it's not mine. That's very 1990s.
00:48:52Oh, is that a party invitation?
00:48:57Same.
00:48:59It's like Marjorie's turning the big 7-0.
00:49:02She was my board member. It'd be scheduled.
00:49:04She was the only one who I actually liked.
00:49:06I love a party. Let's go.
00:49:08Oh, no, Izzy, it's not like that kind of a party.
00:49:11It's gonna be, you know, fancy champagne, classical music,
00:49:15not just corporate chit-chat.
00:49:16Will you have me at free champagne?
00:49:17Izzy, first of all, there's no such thing as free champagne.
00:49:20Why?
00:49:22Look, Randall's gonna be there, okay?
00:49:25That trash basket that ousted you from your job?
00:49:27That very trash basket.
00:49:29Well, who cares? If Marge wants you to be there, you should go.
00:49:35No, you know what?
00:49:36You're right.
00:49:37I should not let Randall dictate my social schedule.
00:49:40Exactly.
00:49:43So what are we wearing?
00:49:46It's just wild to me that Carson goes to this club, too.
00:49:50I mean, I just can't believe that all rich people belong to the same one.
00:49:53It certainly does seem that way.
00:49:55Oh, thank you.
00:50:00Izzy, you can't.
00:50:02There's Marjorie, birthday girl, guest of honor.
00:50:07Hi, Marge.
00:50:09Happy birthday, work it, girl.
00:50:12Oh, sorry.
00:50:18Nice crowd.
00:50:19I thought that was you, Megs.
00:50:25Randall, what a surprise.
00:50:27Oh, you're the surprise.
00:50:29You look great.
00:50:30I, uh, thought you'd look more depressed.
00:50:33That's my point.
00:50:34Joke, Steward.
00:50:35Actually, no, I've never been happier.
00:50:38And free.
00:50:39Free of the scheduled plummeting stock now that Megan Moore isn't at the helm.
00:50:43Frank, help me watch the stock market.
00:50:44Good job.
00:50:45Well, every stock has a down day.
00:50:47And where have I heard that before?
00:50:49Randy, firing my sister was a big mistake.
00:50:53Epic.
00:50:54You and the board might think you're flying high, but you aren't.
00:50:56You want to know why Megan looks so great?
00:50:58She's got the wind beneath her wings.
00:51:00What is this nonsense?
00:51:02It's called a clap back.
00:51:03Don't try to keep up.
00:51:05If you'll excuse me, I'll be, uh, taking my leave.
00:51:09Perfect.
00:51:10My work is done here.
00:51:13Hmm.
00:51:14Izzy, that was incredible.
00:51:16You, you really had my back just then.
00:51:19Why do you sound so surprised?
00:51:20Well, I, I don't know.
00:51:23I, I haven't exactly always or maybe even ever been there for you in sisterly back-up moments like that.
00:51:29Better late than never.
00:51:30Let's celebrate.
00:51:32Can we get some lemon drop shots?
00:51:34That sounds awful.
00:51:34That's what everyone says at first.
00:51:36Uh-huh.
00:51:37Now lean to the front.
00:51:38Lean to the back.
00:51:39Now lean to the front.
00:51:40Lean to the back.
00:51:41Now simple those hips.
00:51:42Simple those hips.
00:51:44Make your body want to have a heart attack.
00:51:45Now clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
00:51:50Now stop.
00:51:51Wait for the drop.
00:51:53Do not be fooled by their cuteness.
00:51:55They're smart and wily creatures.
00:51:56I never even knew you liked dogs.
00:51:59But you know we had a dog before you were born, right?
00:52:03You did?
00:52:04Yeah.
00:52:05Well, he was mostly dad's dog.
00:52:07It's Gus.
00:52:07He was a basset hound.
00:52:08Why am I just hearing about this?
00:52:10I can't believe mom never talks about Gus.
00:52:12Or dad.
00:52:13She's just worried what Ken will think.
00:52:15And I think she's probably very sad.
00:52:17What was Gus like?
00:52:18Oh, he was the very best.
00:52:21He was obsessed with the mailman.
00:52:23He had these velvet ears.
00:52:24Passed gas, it would clear a room.
00:52:26He sounds perfect.
00:52:28He really was.
00:52:30I remember when he died, he told me this story about how Gus had crossed over to the other
00:52:35side of the Rainbow Bridge and how he was playing with puppies on the other side.
00:52:39I wasn't really sure if I bought it, to be honest with you, but I could tell it made
00:52:44dad feel better, so I went along with it.
00:52:46That's sweet.
00:52:47Hey, I wish I had more memories with dad, like you do.
00:52:51Hey, you know I'd love to talk with you about that stuff, like any time, right?
00:52:57I'm really glad we're doing this, you know, hanging out as sisters.
00:53:01Me too.
00:53:04Hey, do you remember that time when I went roller skating?
00:53:06Oh, how could I forget?
00:53:08You taught me everything I know.
00:53:09I remember being so nervous for Leslie Parker's roller derby-themed party, and then look at
00:53:14me, I crushed seventh grade, pretty much a big deal now.
00:53:17I don't know what I would have done if you didn't teach me how to stop.
00:53:21Guess who Troy Graves and his moolah want to meet with tomorrow?
00:53:25You.
00:53:26Oh, that is the best news.
00:53:28I told him all about your sister, Fixer Project.
00:53:30He loves this idea of a crowdsourcing decisions app.
00:53:33Oh, that's fantastic.
00:53:34I mean, I'm still very much in, you know, the strategy and development phase, but it is
00:53:38going so well.
00:53:40I mean, the change in Izzy's life has been unreal.
00:53:42And that's what the money people like to hear.
00:53:44Go do this.
00:53:45It's my finder's fee on the line.
00:53:46And it's my second chance.
00:53:48Thank you, Yuki.
00:53:49Yes!
00:53:51Yes!
00:53:53Oh!
00:53:56Okay.
00:53:58Got it, got it, got it.
00:54:01Right, right, right.
00:54:02Okay.
00:54:03So, we've been talking about the five steps of the psychology of change.
00:54:22Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance.
00:54:28Now, while the steps sound like a steady forward progression, the model actually represents
00:54:34a spiral because individuals are individual.
00:54:40Each marches to the beat of their own drummer.
00:54:43Recycling through the steps is often the rule, not the exception.
00:54:49Okay.
00:54:50Read chapters 14 to 18 by next class.
00:54:52Have a great weekend, everyone.
00:55:04Auditing my intro into psych class?
00:55:06Yeah, a little bit.
00:55:07Something you said actually stuck with me.
00:55:10Do you worry that Izzy's, you know, kind of destined to cycle back through the stages of change?
00:55:17Well, do you?
00:55:18Kind of.
00:55:19I mean, think about it.
00:55:21Historically, she's been a pretty...
00:55:22Wait, you're doing that thing.
00:55:24You're doing that thing where you're going to make me answer my own questions again.
00:55:26I'm not falling for it.
00:55:28Hey, uh, I actually have some news.
00:55:31I have a meeting with a startup investor tomorrow.
00:55:34Wow, congrats.
00:55:36That's fantastic.
00:55:38Funny enough, Izzy M Inc. actually gets the credit.
00:55:41Concept is life coached by committee, so, you know, in an app format.
00:55:46And what does Izzy think?
00:55:47Oh, I mean, we're still in a talking concept stage.
00:55:50Let her know when there's something to know.
00:55:52Oh, a heads up wouldn't hurt.
00:55:54It's early, you know.
00:55:55I don't want to jinx anything.
00:55:57Besides, if it goes forward, I'd involve her in the development process.
00:56:01Yeah.
00:56:01Sister, sister, win.
00:56:03Well, if you think so.
00:56:04But I think Izzy's in this for the sisterly bonding.
00:56:07Not the business.
00:56:08You know, the emotional connection.
00:56:10She thinks this is real.
00:56:12It is real.
00:56:13We walked rescue dogs the other day.
00:56:15It was a very bonding moment.
00:56:16Thanks again.
00:56:20No more days.
00:56:21Thanks.
00:56:22You, um, no, you could have returned this at the next board meeting.
00:56:25Oh, I was in the neighborhood.
00:56:27By way of many other totally unrelated neighborhoods.
00:56:32Are you free for dinner tonight?
00:56:34Yeah, what were you thinking?
00:56:36Oh, there's a fantastic little gourmet market near your place.
00:56:39Oh, nice.
00:56:40You want to have dinner at a grocery store?
00:56:43Not quite.
00:56:46You did throw me there for a minute.
00:56:49I like to keep you on your toes.
00:56:53Lois gave me that pan as a gift for Christmas last year.
00:56:56Cannot wait to tell her someone used it.
00:56:58I take you don't cook?
00:57:00Oh, I realized after I left the schedule that there's kind of a lot of things that I don't do.
00:57:05Yeah, I don't cook.
00:57:06I don't meditate.
00:57:07Don't really date.
00:57:10That's, um, Lois doesn't teach you any beloved family recipes?
00:57:13Oh, no, she definitely did.
00:57:14They all just start with a can of soup or some tater tots.
00:57:17I mean, not that I blame her if she was pretty busy.
00:57:20Or she had her hands full raising Izzy and I by herself after her dad died in a heart attack.
00:57:28Um, sorry, that's, that's brutal.
00:57:30Yeah.
00:57:31Look.
00:57:34Dad.
00:57:37He looks like a good guy.
00:57:38Oh, the best, like, best, best guy.
00:57:45My mom gave me this, so I'll always have him close to my heart.
00:57:49It's nice.
00:57:50It's kind of crazy to think about that just overnight, Lois was a single working mom of an incredibly willful toddler and a very grumpy dad.
00:57:57I remember being just so mad.
00:58:01I felt so mad that my dad had died with a stupid reaction, right?
00:58:05Uh, seems like a totally normal adolescent reaction.
00:58:08Yeah, I remember just kind of wanting to push everyone away.
00:58:12It just seemed easier somehow.
00:58:15And safer?
00:58:16Yeah.
00:58:17I didn't want to talk about it.
00:58:19Figured it wouldn't change anything.
00:58:20I remember kind of pretending to process everything.
00:58:24I wanted them to think I had everything under control.
00:58:28Wanted to think that you could work these out your own way.
00:58:30Self-reliance is kind of my superpower.
00:58:32Because you like doing things on your own.
00:58:35Put it this way, I was already away at college when my mom met Ken and Izzy was still in grade school.
00:58:40So they formed their own little family unit and I forged my own path.
00:58:45And an impressive path, that is.
00:58:47You know, it's, um, not too late to befriend your mom.
00:58:52You know, tell her how you feel.
00:58:54Yeah.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:59:00This is so good.
00:59:01What did you put on the chicken?
00:59:03Don't you think I didn't notice you just changed the subject?
00:59:06Well, I wouldn't ask if I didn't want to know.
00:59:10Lemon zest.
00:59:12But the secret, I think it's a little bit of paprika.
00:59:16Really?
00:59:17Mm-hmm.
00:59:17I mean, you cooked everything.
00:59:21You didn't have to wash the dishes as well.
00:59:23Oh, look, I'm an overachiever.
00:59:25I do like that about you.
00:59:27Well, um, goodnight.
00:59:30Night.
00:59:34Before I forget.
00:59:34Yeah.
00:59:37I've been nervous about you.
00:59:43Are you making a move?
00:59:45Goodnight.
00:59:45Good night.
00:59:49And I'm starting to doubt ya.
00:59:51Good night.
00:59:54Don't ask me to choose.
00:59:56I'm going and going and going.
01:00:02And so I told Miller, I'll eat you alive for lunch
01:00:04if you mess with my performance compensation with your soft hurdle rates.
01:00:09Actually, I'll order for myself.
01:00:11I've got it. You just keep bringing the gorgeous.
01:00:13You bring another fresh round of drinks.
01:00:16I looked up your sis.
01:00:20High net worth.
01:00:22Does she need a financial advisor?
01:00:23You know, you never actually ask about my life.
01:00:29Uh, sure.
01:00:30Can you ask your sister if she needs a financial advisor?
01:00:48Are you still using the schedule?
01:00:50Oh, yeah. I like the structure and order.
01:00:53Yeah.
01:00:53Really?
01:00:54Yeah.
01:00:55I, um, I texted you.
01:00:58You didn't text back.
01:00:59Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:01:00Um, about the other night.
01:01:02I had a really lovely time.
01:01:03But, um, it was unprofessional.
01:01:05It's totally against the board of director bylaws.
01:01:08You know those bylaws are made up, right?
01:01:09Yeah, by me.
01:01:10I take them very seriously.
01:01:12Do you ever not get too much inside your own head?
01:01:13Good luck.
01:01:14Good luck.
01:01:14Good luck.
01:01:14Good luck.
01:01:15Yeah, good luck.
01:01:16My head, my rules.
01:01:17I officially call this meeting to order.
01:01:20Curtis.
01:01:21Uh, no old business today.
01:01:22Quick agenda.
01:01:23New business only.
01:01:24I want to dump Carson.
01:01:26I motion we do that or whatever.
01:01:28Huh?
01:01:28I told you so.
01:01:29I told you.
01:01:30Well, I thought you liked Carson.
01:01:31Well, you never did.
01:01:32Why do you want me to?
01:01:33It's a valuable performance metric.
01:01:34Well, that's not really why to describe someone.
01:01:36Do you guys know that Mondays happen every week?
01:01:38Like, every week.
01:01:39They just keep happening.
01:01:41You know, and I show up to the art gallery at 9 a.m.
01:01:43And my life is just a constant snooze button.
01:01:45And I answer boring phone calls.
01:01:46And I have a boring day.
01:01:47And I scroll boring social media.
01:01:49I'm sorry, Jo.
01:01:50But it's true.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52And then meanwhile, all my friends are just, you know,
01:01:54living their best lives, crashing yacht parties
01:01:56and getting sunburned at music festivals
01:01:57and just making questionable decisions.
01:01:59Really cool things that I am not allowed to do.
01:02:02Okay, Izzy, those are just future regrets.
01:02:04Well, my past future regrets were good stories.
01:02:07Okay?
01:02:08Not like fixing a shower.
01:02:10Fixing a shower?
01:02:11I'm so lost.
01:02:13Day one, we all agreed to keep Izzy's best interest
01:02:16front and center.
01:02:17So, let's open discussions on Izzy's proposals.
01:02:20These are not proposals.
01:02:21These are complaints.
01:02:22Either way, we debate the pros and cons
01:02:24and put things to a vote.
01:02:26Robert's rules of order, right?
01:02:27Great.
01:02:27Which we will do when we reconvene.
01:02:30But I have to go because I have an appointment.
01:02:32No, no.
01:02:33What kind of appointment?
01:02:34There's nothing on your calendar.
01:02:36It's an emergency to Root Canal.
01:02:37I will see you when we reconvene on Monday.
01:02:41I mean, does it hurt?
01:02:42Who wears a chic wide-legged pantsuit to a Root Canal?
01:02:46My father is still stuck in the fossil fuels of last century.
01:02:49Well, Mr. Graves,
01:02:50those fossil fuels got you some pretty sweet office space.
01:02:53I think the future is connectivity.
01:02:55I agree.
01:02:56I am all about in-person connectivity.
01:02:58No, no, no, no.
01:02:58Like, connecting to our phones.
01:03:02Yuki said you're spearheading a whole-life transformation for your own sister.
01:03:06How does that work, exactly?
01:03:08Drawing upon my time, Eppie scheduled,
01:03:11I assembled a skilled board of directors.
01:03:13The mission?
01:03:14A total reorg of Izzy's life.
01:03:16No, committees were formed to impact every bucket of her life.
01:03:20Career, relationship, appearance.
01:03:23And the same can be true for subscribers to our app using their contacts.
01:03:27Wow.
01:03:34Hi.
01:03:34Hi.
01:03:35Hi.
01:03:36Please.
01:03:37You're a regular here.
01:03:43No, not really.
01:03:45Just, it just kind of seemed like a good idea.
01:03:47Neutral territory.
01:03:48Hmm.
01:03:49Um, about the other day, I, I'm sorry.
01:03:53Yeah, me too.
01:03:54I, um, I shouldn't have said what I did.
01:03:56About getting so much in my own head?
01:03:58Yeah, like, I totally understand.
01:04:00I'm a complete head case, you know.
01:04:02Sorry, one, one, one second.
01:04:04Yeah, yeah, hi, this is Megan.
01:04:07What?
01:04:09The, the police?
01:04:12Yes.
01:04:12Yes, of course.
01:04:13I will be right there.
01:04:14Bye.
01:04:15That was Izzy's apartment manager.
01:04:17Apparently she threw a little party.
01:04:19Ah, well, it sounds like a good one if the cops were called.
01:04:24Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no, not the throw pillows.
01:04:33Hello?
01:04:34Come on in.
01:04:36Oh.
01:04:37Izzy.
01:04:40What?
01:04:41What is happening here?
01:04:43A party.
01:04:44Yes, I can see that.
01:04:46Who, who, who is this?
01:04:47Oh, I'm Woody.
01:04:48It's short for Woody.
01:04:50Street art ex-con.
01:04:51Um, I can hear you.
01:04:53Oh.
01:04:53And then I told you I was done with Carson.
01:04:55I couldn't listen to one more word about arbitration or gross exposure.
01:04:57So you thought you'd just throw a little soiree to celebrate your newfound singlehood?
01:05:01Actually, no.
01:05:02This is to celebrate that I quit my gallery job.
01:05:06Without consulting anyone on the board?
01:05:09Izzy, you agreed.
01:05:10This was your idea.
01:05:11And then you invited your weird friends over to trash your apartment.
01:05:14This has been so hard, Meg.
01:05:16Izzy, once again, you have made a gigantic mess and you just expect someone else to come
01:05:22in and clean it up.
01:05:23I thought that you had changed.
01:05:34Whoa, just wait a second.
01:05:36What?
01:05:36Don't you think you're being just a little hard on Izzy?
01:05:39Izzy is backsliding or regressing or whatever the term is.
01:05:42All of our hard work, poof, it's gone.
01:05:45Maybe Izzy's just being true to her own nature.
01:05:48Well, yeah.
01:05:48So then what was the point of this entire experiment?
01:05:51Granted, this whole thing was a life makeover for Izzy,
01:05:53but you know it's become bigger than that.
01:05:56Do you want to get some dinner?
01:05:57I can cook.
01:05:58We can talk some more.
01:05:59I'm sorry.
01:06:00I just don't feel like I'm very good company right now.
01:06:03Do you want to be okay if we talked after the next meeting?
01:06:05Yeah, of course.
01:06:08We can wait until then.
01:06:23Oh, my God.
01:06:25Oh, my God.
01:06:26Oh, my God.
01:06:26Oh, my God.
01:06:26Okay.
01:06:29Hi.
01:06:29Hi.
01:06:30So, uh, what happened?
01:06:33Troy wants to jump right into the analysis and planning stage of app development with you
01:06:37taking charge.
01:06:38His lawyers are already talking finances and budget.
01:06:42Wow.
01:06:42I mean, that is, that is, that's just really fast.
01:06:46You know, I haven't even had a chance to tell Izzy about this yet.
01:06:49Well, you better fill her in or the press release will.
01:06:52Okay.
01:06:52Um, Yuki, I feel like maybe I should probably tell you that the Izzy M. Inc. experiment kind
01:06:58of, kind of imploded.
01:06:59Nope.
01:06:59Not listening.
01:07:00I don't want to hear how the inspiration for the app is a dud.
01:07:03Be psyched, girl boss.
01:07:04New chapter.
01:07:05All right.
01:07:07New chapter.
01:07:08New chapter.
01:07:09Thanks.
01:07:10Hey, guys.
01:07:11So, uh, before we start, I have news.
01:07:15And, uh, it's kind of big, so, uh, I'm just suddenly feeling like I've missed something.
01:07:22What's going on?
01:07:23Izzy?
01:07:25Izzy, what is happening?
01:07:28What?
01:07:28Why are you upset?
01:07:29How could you betray me like this?
01:07:31What?
01:07:33Curtis, what?
01:07:34She doesn't know, does she?
01:07:35I'll do the honors.
01:07:39Entrepreneur Troy Graves is partnering with startup hotshot Megan Moore to develop a revolutionary
01:07:44life coach by committee app.
01:07:47Quote, Megan brings unprecedented skill to the creation of this product just as she did
01:07:51with her unorthodox approach of applying the principles of business to successfully overhaul
01:07:57her own sister's life.
01:07:59Press release goes on the list.
01:08:00Some examples of how the art can capitalize on them.
01:08:04And they use Izzy's full name, too, which is wrong.
01:08:07You guys, I very much understand that this looks really bad, but please, let me explain.
01:08:13The press release was really not supposed to come out this soon.
01:08:17Should not have mentioned you.
01:08:18But listen, when I tell you about this, you're going to be excited.
01:08:21Excited?
01:08:22Yeah.
01:08:22No, you used me.
01:08:24Izzy M. Inc.
01:08:25This board, the whole thing was just for your own career resuscitation.
01:08:30No.
01:08:32Not even close.
01:08:33Izzy, the whole investor thing of it all, that started after we began.
01:08:39This has always been about helping you.
01:08:41Helping me or helping me become you.
01:08:45My whole life, I looked up to perfect Megan, but she didn't even know I was there.
01:08:51I just got left behind.
01:08:54I was left behind.
01:08:56You always had mom.
01:08:58You had Ken.
01:08:58You know, mom would always say that, oh, we don't got to worry about Megan.
01:09:01And she's got a good head on her shoulders.
01:09:03Oh, really?
01:09:04Mom said that?
01:09:04Yeah.
01:09:05Figures.
01:09:06Yeah.
01:09:06And what does that mean for me, huh?
01:09:08That I'm the screw-up?
01:09:10Because maybe I should just own it.
01:09:12Izzy, I had no idea.
01:09:14Of course not.
01:09:15Because up until a few months ago, we barely spoke.
01:09:19Are you embarrassed of me?
01:09:21No.
01:09:22No.
01:09:23Because I thought that this whole experiment would bring us together and make me more like you.
01:09:29and that I would fit more into your bubble and, like, you would like me.
01:09:34Of course I like you.
01:09:35Who wouldn't like you?
01:09:36Yeah, but you know what I learned through all this?
01:09:39I might be a disaster, but I'm a happy disaster.
01:09:43Megan, all you care about is being perfect and on schedule and making sure you have everything right.
01:09:51But you don't even know what happiness feels like.
01:09:54But I know that doesn't really matter to you because, um, you're on top now.
01:09:58He's a big CEO.
01:10:02What does it matter about the casualties along the way?
01:10:07I'm sorry.
01:10:09Okay.
01:10:09I just...
01:10:10I'm sorry.
01:10:11Yoo-hoo!
01:10:12Anyone in here?
01:10:14I do love the designer bargain.
01:10:17Mom.
01:10:18Oh!
01:10:19Is this the sample sale?
01:10:22Oh!
01:10:22Pitsy.
01:10:25What are you doing here?
01:10:27Frank?
01:10:28Megan, what is going on?
01:10:30Izzy can fill you in.
01:10:32Mom.
01:10:33And, uh, I reside.
01:10:35Effective immediately.
01:10:37So, um, Curtis, maybe you...
01:10:43Right.
01:10:44Makeup.
01:10:51Megan?
01:10:54Oh, sweetheart.
01:10:56Come on.
01:10:56It's okay.
01:10:57Is he?
01:11:21I tried to stay mad, but my mom wisely said,
01:11:25To err is human. To forgive, divine.
01:11:29I don't think Beverly can-
01:11:30Oh, did she send over a fresh batch of booch?
01:11:39I, uh, really screwed up, didn't I?
01:11:42Pretty much.
01:11:44So what happened after I left?
01:11:46Board's dissolved. Experiment over.
01:11:48I did get to hang out with Lois, though.
01:11:51Can't believe she didn't try to take over.
01:11:53It's, uh, kind of Lois's M.O.
01:11:56Izzy didn't want her to.
01:11:58Oh, man, I just, I'm really messed up with Izzy.
01:12:00I have no idea how to make this up to her.
01:12:02Can't help you there.
01:12:04Hmm.
01:12:06Hey, um, I have some other kind of bad news,
01:12:11which is that I, I decided not to take Troy Graves' money.
01:12:16It just didn't feel like the right thing to do anymore.
01:12:18I, I'm sorry.
01:12:19Oh, I wasn't coming with you anyway.
01:12:21What?
01:12:22What?
01:12:23Why not?
01:12:24You weren't the only one secretly taking meetings.
01:12:27Curtis!
01:12:28I got a social media job at the Initiator Press.
01:12:31You're, that's wonderful.
01:12:34I'm so happy for you.
01:12:37Good job, guys.
01:12:44So what are you gonna do?
01:12:47I don't know.
01:12:50But you know what?
01:12:52I am overdue doing this.
01:12:58Bye-bye bescheduled.
01:13:01Izzy's right.
01:13:02I am the tragic one.
01:13:04I've been so busy trying to have control over absolutely everything that I,
01:13:07I haven't been living.
01:13:09Well, like my mom always says, you need to go find your smile.
01:13:13Curtis, your mom.
01:13:19Curtis, your mom's right.
01:13:20She always is.
01:13:24Yeah.
01:13:29We should have told you, mom.
01:13:31Well, I knew something was going on.
01:13:34I call it mom tuition.
01:13:35Right.
01:13:36Believe me, I was happy that you girls were spending time together,
01:13:39but I didn't know you formed a corporation.
01:13:42We're having board meetings.
01:13:44Which is a very clever idea, actually.
01:13:47I'm just a little sad you didn't want me to be a part of it.
01:13:52I'm sorry, mom.
01:13:53I am.
01:13:54I do know what it feels like to be excluded.
01:13:56Honey, I never meant for you to feel left out of the family.
01:13:59You just always seemed like you didn't need us.
01:14:03That's not true.
01:14:05Megan, you're so together.
01:14:08Whereas Izzy is...
01:14:11Izzy.
01:14:12I know.
01:14:14And I know how you must have thought I was playing favorites.
01:14:19But I love each of my girls equally.
01:14:24Thank you, mom.
01:14:26I, uh...
01:14:28Yeah, I think I actually did need to hear that, so...
01:14:35I'm...
01:14:36I miss dad.
01:14:39I do, too.
01:14:41And by the way, I do know that you were just doing the best you could with Izzy.
01:14:45I get that now.
01:14:47And you were doing the best you could with your board of directors thing.
01:14:51Yes.
01:14:52But really, I think I was just trying to become a version of you.
01:14:54Just swoop in, try to fix everything, and...
01:14:57Well, we're fixers no more, because little baby bird Izzy has blown the nest.
01:15:02Really?
01:15:03Yeah.
01:15:04She's still not really speaking to me.
01:15:06Well, I told her you weren't doing the app anymore, but she does still have that voodoo doll in her bedroom.
01:15:12Looks remarkably like you, actually.
01:15:15She's very talented when she's mad.
01:15:19She did sign up for a yoga teacher training course, and she's studying to get her esthetician license.
01:15:26She did pass ear piercing.
01:15:28Wow.
01:15:29She's giving herself options.
01:15:30That's very smart.
01:15:31Yeah.
01:15:32And she missed her friends in that nutty home she was in before.
01:15:36So she negotiated herself out of that new apartment lease if she promised to clean it up.
01:15:42And she did.
01:15:43Wow.
01:15:44Woody helped her paint, and your art friend Dominic, he fixed a cabinet door.
01:15:49God.
01:15:50He is so handy, that man.
01:15:52Mm-hmm.
01:15:53Didn't realize that Izzy and Dominic were still in touch.
01:15:55Yeah.
01:15:56Seems so.
01:15:57Izzy said the whole board is still friends.
01:16:02That's good.
01:16:03And Izzy is not getting back together with Woody.
01:16:08Thank goodness.
01:16:09After the whole Carson thing, she decided to go boy sober for a while.
01:16:13And she's dating herself.
01:16:16Like that's gonna get me grandchildren.
01:16:18Mom.
01:16:19I'm kidding.
01:16:20I can joke, you know.
01:16:21Oh, I know.
01:16:23Oh.
01:16:24Look at this.
01:16:25She looks great.
01:16:26Well, yes, but look.
01:16:27Her feet aren't on my couch.
01:16:28She's found her own path.
01:16:29About time.
01:16:30Hey, I was thinking, after this, we could maybe go on a mother-daughter bonding experience.
01:16:48Oh, you look beautiful.
01:16:49Thank you, Mom.
01:16:50Here.
01:16:51Okay.
01:16:52You know, there's so many other ways to have champagne.
01:16:53For example, we could go somewhere and I could buy you some.
01:16:54Please let me live out my fantasy of being mother of the bride.
01:16:55Okay, fine.
01:16:56Oh.
01:16:57Oh.
01:16:58Oh, you look beautiful.
01:16:59Thank you, Mom.
01:17:00Here.
01:17:01Okay.
01:17:02You know, there's so many other ways to have champagne.
01:17:03For example, we could go somewhere and I could buy you some.
01:17:04Please let me live out my fantasy of being mother of the bride.
01:17:20Okay, fine.
01:17:21Oh.
01:17:22All right.
01:17:23All right.
01:17:24All right.
01:17:25All right.
01:17:26You got me.
01:17:27I admit it.
01:17:28I guess this is kind of fun.
01:17:30Only because of how weirdly happy it makes you.
01:17:33You know, I really like that Dominic fella.
01:17:37Yeah, I really did too.
01:17:39It's just one of the many things I've screwed up lately.
01:17:42Hey, Mom.
01:17:46Mm-hmm.
01:17:47I'm having an idea about Izzy and her upcoming birthday.
01:17:50It involves getting the gang back together and a whole lot of apologizing slash explaining
01:17:55that I have to do.
01:17:56Uh, y-oh.
01:17:57Next time.
01:18:09Uh, and everybody's coming from me.
01:18:42Okay.
01:18:44Mom, Dad, where are we?
01:18:46Here we go.
01:18:48Okay.
01:18:50Surprise!
01:18:52You guys, this is better than anything you could ask for.
01:18:59Oh, it wasn't us.
01:19:01It was all Megan.
01:19:03Happy birthday, isn't it?
01:19:04Happy birthday!
01:19:06Happy birthday!
01:19:08Happy birthday!
01:19:10I can't believe them.
01:19:12Oh!
01:19:14Hey, happy 30 it is.
01:19:18What are you doing here?
01:19:20What's up? Happy birthday!
01:19:22Oh my goodness.
01:19:24Hi!
01:19:26Happy birthday!
01:19:28Hi!
01:19:29Hi!
01:19:30Oh!
01:19:33Hi.
01:19:34Hey.
01:19:36I, uh, I know you love a party.
01:19:38It's just seemed a lot more, you know, like you, surprises and all.
01:19:42I owe you a really big apology.
01:19:44I do.
01:19:45Because I, uh, I tried to change you and I absolutely never should have done that.
01:19:52I see, you have the biggest heart and, uh, I just hope that there's still room in it for me.
01:20:02Uh, well, I did come to you asking for my life to be transformed before my 30th birthday.
01:20:12And it is.
01:20:14Just, maybe not the way either of us imagined.
01:20:17Right.
01:20:18I hope you know that you changed my life too.
01:20:20Oh yes, I know.
01:20:21You don't have a big stick up here.
01:20:22I was gonna say I learned to live a little.
01:20:24Mm-hmm.
01:20:27I love it just the way you are.
01:20:29I love you.
01:20:33Okay.
01:20:34Can we have lemon drop shots now?
01:20:36Yes.
01:20:39Let's invite mom.
01:20:40Oh!
01:20:41That's okay.
01:20:42All right.
01:20:43Bring it in.
01:20:44Hey.
01:20:45Cheers, guys.
01:20:46Birthday.
01:20:47Thank you, girls.
01:20:51I'm just so proud of my girls.
01:20:53Even though it wasn't a very conventional route to family togetherness.
01:20:57Has anything about this family ever been conventional?
01:21:00No.
01:21:01Now that you mention it, no.
01:21:02You ladies keep me on my toes.
01:21:04I wouldn't trade it for the world.
01:21:12So I have this credit card now and it gives you 2% back.
01:21:14You spend the money and then they give you some money back.
01:21:16I'm like, what?
01:21:17I'm gonna save that money.
01:21:18I'm gonna take it.
01:21:19I'm gonna use it to go to Peru.
01:21:20I'm gonna see these llamas.
01:21:21I'm gonna sleep with the llamas.
01:21:22You know what?
01:21:23There's so much to share with you.
01:21:24I'll tell you back at the house.
01:21:25Okay?
01:21:26Bye, Rumi.
01:21:27Hey.
01:21:28Oh, hi.
01:21:29Hey.
01:21:30So, uh, I invited Dominic.
01:21:32I was sure he would show up for you.
01:21:34Oh, he has shown.
01:21:35But I think it's for you.
01:21:37What?
01:21:39Happy Birthdays.
01:21:40Oh, thanks.
01:21:41Sorry.
01:21:42I'm late.
01:21:43My, uh, schedule's been all screwy this week.
01:21:46I had to switch lectures with a colleague.
01:21:48Of course.
01:21:49I just didn't think you were coming.
01:21:50I miss this?
01:21:51Never.
01:21:54I made a mistake.
01:21:56You warned me and I didn't listen.
01:21:58I think you saved your time.
01:22:00So you're not mad?
01:22:01It wasn't in my place to be mad at you.
01:22:02I was always the independent director on Izzy's board.
01:22:07I'm sorry I went so hot and cold and then I pushed you away.
01:22:10Just a terrible force of habit.
01:22:12I know.
01:22:14And now?
01:22:18Come with me.
01:22:25You know, I never really understood that John Lennon quote.
01:22:29I think it's from when he was young and they were asking him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
