00:00:06I must have you.
00:00:12Calvin Princess.
00:00:14And I you werewolf king.
00:00:18Shihara heard tales that the werewolf king was the greatest lover in all the realm.
00:00:23Now she would know the truth.
00:00:26She straddled him.
00:00:30No, he takes charge.
00:00:32It's hotter.
00:00:38Um...
00:00:41Uh...
00:00:43The werewolf king...
00:00:46The werewolf king...
00:00:50Think, Lisa! It's the climax of the book! It has to be steamy AF!
00:01:00How does MK get inspiration?
00:01:11The werewolf king swept his princess into the bed.
00:01:29He tore her dress and kissed down her body.
00:01:37His burning lips trailing lower...
00:01:41And lower...
00:01:43And...
00:01:47Ms. Von Klimt! Hi!
00:01:50So, how's my favorite romance author?
00:01:54Yeah, fine. Everything's okay. My books are still selling, right?
00:01:58Hotter than La Boo Boo's.
00:02:00Listen, I have a special assignment for you.
00:02:02You've heard of MK Roth, right?
00:02:04I love him!
00:02:05I mean...
00:02:07He's writing.
00:02:08Fabulous.
00:02:09We'll talk more about it when you're in L.A.
00:02:11You're coming tomorrow.
00:02:12Tomorrow?
00:02:23One more chapter and you can finish this book just right, Max.
00:02:28Stop blinking like that!
00:02:31Ugh!
00:02:35Whoa!
00:02:36Forget writing.
00:02:37You need to be pitching for the Dodgers.
00:02:41Very funny, Tony.
00:02:43Well...
00:02:44What's going on?
00:02:45I still can't finish the novel.
00:02:48Seven years of hard work and it still rides on this last chapter.
00:02:51Well, why don't you just chat GBT it?
00:02:54Okay, I'm kidding, Mr. Integrity.
00:02:57Look, why don't we just leave the workshop for a while?
00:02:59Huh?
00:03:00We're meeting with EMU Publishing.
00:03:02No.
00:03:03I should be writing.
00:03:04Hey, you said it yourself, Max.
00:03:06You haven't published in seven years.
00:03:09Look, do you want to keep this mansion?
00:03:11Huh?
00:03:12You want to keep this Apple laptop you just hurled across the room?
00:03:15We gotta do some business.
00:03:23There he is.
00:03:24That's the spirit.
00:03:26Good.
00:03:28Do me a favor.
00:03:29Take a shower before we go.
00:03:31You smell like defeat.
00:03:45I am so sorry I'm late.
00:03:46We had an emergency landing in Tucson.
00:03:48Miss Von Clem's still out sometime before 3pm.
00:03:50Hurry.
00:03:51Amazing. Thank you.
00:03:53I gotta sit.
00:03:59M.K. Roth?
00:04:00Am I dreaming?
00:04:02Hey, we're walking here, twerp.
00:04:04Get out of the way.
00:04:04Hey.
00:04:05Why don't you show the lady some respect?
00:04:07Did M.K. Roth just call me a lady?
00:04:11Lisa!
00:04:12I'm waiting!
00:04:21I'm working on a deal with M.K. Roth, the biggest name in fiction.
00:04:26We are in talks to publish his new novel here at EMU Publishing.
00:04:32M.K. Roth is a new novel? I've waited years for this.
00:04:35He's my all-time favorite author.
00:04:38Here's the thing.
00:04:39I have a little crush on him.
00:04:41M.K.
00:04:42Max.
00:04:43I am crazy about him.
00:04:46That face, that hair, that...
00:04:49The race of a generation.
00:04:50Exactly.
00:04:52Normally, I can get any guy I want, anytime I want.
00:04:56Just look at me.
00:04:57But Max is different.
00:04:59My usual tactics aren't working.
00:05:02What does that have to do with me?
00:05:04I was thinking, who better to play Cupid than my best-selling romance author, Heidi Brushfire?
00:05:13You want me to be your date doctor?
00:05:16Have I ever told you how much I love this pen name?
00:05:21You came up with it.
00:05:23Nobody writes romance like you do, Lisa.
00:05:26You must get dick like nobody's business.
00:05:30How do I tell her I've never had a steamy romance like in my books?
00:05:34Last time I had sex was college and he turned out to be gay.
00:05:37It's all just fiction.
00:05:40Made up.
00:05:40Don't be modest, Lisa.
00:05:42I am crushing hard here.
00:05:44I'll double your next advance.
00:05:47How's 50K sound?
00:05:5050,000?
00:05:51With that much money I could afford the living nurse moms always wanted.
00:05:55I'm not hearing a no, so that is a yes.
00:05:58You'll stay with me.
00:05:59You'll have the guest room and the pool all to yourself.
00:06:02Ah!
00:06:10Showtime.
00:06:25So we meet again.
00:06:27Guess I wasn't dreaming.
00:06:30Guess I wasn't either.
00:06:33Lisa has to get ready.
00:06:35I'll walk her out.
00:06:40Look, I know Giselle's the CEO, but she's got an ass that could make a stripper.
00:06:44I wasn't looking.
00:06:45It was her friend.
00:06:49Don't even think about going for Max.
00:06:51You are here to be my dating coach, not to date my man.
00:06:55Got it.
00:06:56You better.
00:06:58Max and I are going to have the hottest kids ever.
00:07:01What were you saying about a party?
00:07:03My people will explain everything.
00:07:06Oh, bet.
00:07:12Lisa Brown, Giselle's lawyer.
00:07:14Can you sign this NDA?
00:07:15I'm the stylist.
00:07:16I need your measurements.
00:07:18I'm the dog walker.
00:07:19And this is poo poo.
00:07:23What did I get myself into?
00:07:30Lisa, hurry up!
00:07:34I need a little flicker.
00:07:35Right here.
00:07:36Yes.
00:07:36Perfect.
00:07:44I can barely walk in these.
00:07:46You'll learn.
00:07:47Tonight's my first night meeting Max outside the office.
00:07:50Help me sweep him off his feet.
00:07:53I'll do my best.
00:07:53I just wish I had more time to prepare.
00:07:55I believe in you.
00:07:57Heidi Brushfire.
00:08:05I don't know.
00:08:06I hate parties.
00:08:07You know this.
00:08:08Oh, come on.
00:08:08It's part of the job, Max.
00:08:10Hey, listen.
00:08:11I want you to meet this producer.
00:08:12He wants to do a movie based on your first novel.
00:08:15Come on.
00:08:15How many times do I have to tell you?
00:08:17I don't care about Hollywood.
00:08:19I want my books to stay books.
00:08:26Max.
00:08:27On second thought, maybe there is someone here I want to talk to.
00:08:31What are you talking about?
00:08:33Max is coming.
00:08:34Tell me what to say.
00:08:37I thought this was your thing.
00:08:38I need lines right fucking now.
00:08:56I am so sorry.
00:08:57I didn't mean to.
00:08:58The next time you want to use my jacket, just ask me.
00:09:01Come on.
00:09:05Lisa.
00:09:06A word.
00:09:09Stop acting like a fool and do your fucking job.
00:09:13Sorry, it wasn't my fault.
00:09:16All will be forgiven if you can get Max to ask me out.
00:09:20Tell me what to do.
00:09:24Well.
00:09:27In Elven Lest, Shihara the Elven Princess attracts men with her mystery.
00:09:31Hmm.
00:09:32She's quiet.
00:09:33She speaks in riddles.
00:09:34She has a ethereal eroticism to her like a sexy alien.
00:09:40That'll work.
00:09:41Be alluring.
00:09:42I'll come to you.
00:09:43If you fuck this up, not only are you going to lose your bonus,
00:09:48I'm canceling your publishing contract.
00:09:50What?
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:52You think I need you to push the Heidi Brushfire books?
00:09:55Yes.
00:09:55I own the pen name and the rights.
00:10:09Sorry about Lisa.
00:10:11What a klutz.
00:10:12Try not to spill this one.
00:10:17I'm sorry.
00:10:19That was a bad joke.
00:10:20I feel like I'm falling on my face here too, even if I'm not literally doing it.
00:10:26So.
00:10:28Max.
00:10:30What's up?
00:10:31What's the scariest kind of writer?
00:10:36A ghost writer.
00:10:37Oh no.
00:10:39When I told her to speak in riddles, I didn't mean literally.
00:10:42Now she's telling dad jokes.
00:10:49Well you have a mysterious sense of humor, Giselle.
00:10:54What the hell?
00:10:55It actually worked?
00:11:02Why are writers always cold?
00:11:07Because they're surrounded by drafts.
00:11:15Thank you Giselle for the entertainment for the night.
00:11:21I'm going to head out of here.
00:11:22But.
00:11:23And please, respect the personal space, ok?
00:11:28Uh.
00:11:30Have a good night.
00:11:32No, sweet! Giselle, just fucking stop, okay? You're ruining everything.
00:11:39I warned you! You are going back to Indiana right now!
00:11:51Can you let go of my hair, please?
00:11:54I look like an idiot in front of Max tonight, and it's all your fault!
00:11:58Give me another chance, please!
00:11:59As if! You're not a date doctor!
00:12:03You're not even fit to be a romance author!
00:12:06Not at my company!
00:12:08No, I'm begging you, Ms. Von Klimt, I can't lose my publishing deal!
00:12:11I'm supporting my mom, she needs me!
00:12:18You're on thin fucking ice, Lisa!
00:12:21Thank you, thank you, Ms. Von Klimt!
00:12:22Don't thank me!
00:12:24Go get me, my man!
00:12:33Nice pool! Tell me all about L.A.
00:12:36I should be home with you, Mom.
00:12:38I can roll around on my own for a few days.
00:12:41So what's the hubbub?
00:12:42I actually can't talk about it because I signed an NDA, but...
00:12:45The good news is I might be getting a big bonus if I don't screw things up!
00:12:49When have you messed anything up? Except your dating life.
00:12:52Mom!
00:12:53Speaking of...
00:12:54I made you a Tinder profile.
00:12:56You already have matches!
00:12:57Remember Billy from high school?
00:12:59He's been saying a lot of sexy things to you.
00:13:02Maybe too sexy.
00:13:04Could you please not butt into my love life?
00:13:07I know I haven't dated in a while, but that doesn't mean I want my mom playing matchmaker.
00:13:11Wouldn't it be funny if people found out romance writer Heidi Brushfire was really a spinster in training from rural
00:13:17Indiana?
00:13:19Hopefully Ms. Von Klimt doesn't find out.
00:13:22I have to get to work.
00:13:23Oops.
00:13:28Oops.
00:13:47Ugh!
00:13:48Shhh!
00:13:49This is hopeless!
00:13:50I've been reading dating books all day and I haven't learned anything that could help Ms. Von Klimt.
00:13:55I'm screwed!
00:14:07I'm so sorry.
00:14:13Please don't recognize me.
00:14:14Please don't recognize me.
00:14:17You're Giselle's friend, right?
00:14:20The clumsy one.
00:14:22A week ago I would have killed to be recognized by my favorite author.
00:14:25Now I wish I was dead.
00:14:27Hey.
00:14:28Why are you crying?
00:14:30Okay?
00:14:44I was just, um, reading a sad book.
00:14:52What were you reading?
00:14:55Think, Lisa.
00:14:56You're a writer.
00:14:56You know about books.
00:14:59Wait.
00:14:59I know.
00:15:00Withering Heights.
00:15:02Not a lie.
00:15:03It does make me cry.
00:15:05Withering Heights?
00:15:06Well, that's one of my favorites.
00:15:08It makes me cry too.
00:15:10It's so beautiful.
00:15:12And tragic.
00:15:13You like romance?
00:15:14Yeah, I used to.
00:15:17Hey, let me help you.
00:15:19I got it, really.
00:15:30Is this yours?
00:15:31I'm not stalking you, I promise.
00:15:34You can admit you like me.
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:43I'm a fan.
00:15:45I read your books, because I know you have a new one coming out, so I was just rereading your
00:15:50last one for about the tenth time.
00:15:54You've read my book ten times?
00:15:56I'm a writer too.
00:15:58Miss Von Klint's my publisher.
00:16:00So I've heard.
00:16:06Funny seeing you here, aren't you supposed to be a recluse?
00:16:09Whoever said that obviously spends no time in the library, because I'm here all the time.
00:16:15I love the smell of old books.
00:16:18What are you checking out?
00:16:20That's actually this new author.
00:16:23Um...
00:16:23Have you heard of Heidi Brushfire?
00:16:27But...
00:16:28How...
00:16:29I googled it.
00:16:30I'm not stalking you.
00:16:32I promise.
00:16:35And here is the romance section.
00:16:41Here we go.
00:16:44Oh, yes.
00:16:45I can't wait to read this.
00:16:47Oh, could you take a picture of us?
00:16:50I'm a big fan of yours, Miss Brushfire.
00:16:53Oh.
00:16:54Okay.
00:16:56Okay.
00:17:01Looking forward to your next book.
00:17:05That never happens in Indiana.
00:17:09Back to Wuthering Heights.
00:17:10It's...
00:17:11Not to brag.
00:17:13But I happen to own a first edition.
00:17:15Come by my place sometime and check it out.
00:17:18Your place?
00:17:19Oh.
00:17:21Um...
00:17:22How about tomorrow?
00:17:22Hello.
00:17:38Hi, Miss Von Klimt.
00:17:41Hi, Poopoo.
00:17:45So cute.
00:17:46Where have you been?
00:17:49Where have you been?
00:17:49And why am I not Mrs. MK Roth yet?
00:17:52Funnily enough, I just ran into Max at the library.
00:18:00Did he say anything about the other night?
00:18:03Tell me everything.
00:18:04It actually didn't come up.
00:18:06That could be good.
00:18:08Actually, he invited me over tomorrow afternoon.
00:18:11You?
00:18:12What did I tell you about snaking my man?
00:18:16Back your bags!
00:18:18You're out of here!
00:18:19Oh, wait!
00:18:21Wait!
00:18:21Let me explain.
00:18:24You're right.
00:18:25Max is a special case.
00:18:28My usual advice won't work.
00:18:29I need to get to know him better.
00:18:33I'll tell you everything so we can use it to your advantage.
00:18:35I just need some more time.
00:18:37Not a bad plan.
00:18:42What do you think, Poopoo?
00:18:45Should we trust her?
00:18:48I leave for New York this week.
00:18:51If you don't have results by the time that I'm back,
00:18:54you're out of a job and a publishing deal.
00:18:58Got it?
00:19:06Since the divorce, every moment was pain.
00:19:09James felt like Prometheus, tortured by the gods.
00:19:13But instead of eagles eating his liver, they picked at his heart.
00:19:18Then again, maybe he deserved to suffer.
00:19:32Who would read this self-pitying garbage?
00:19:35I've got to snap out of it.
00:19:40Lisa, I almost forgot.
00:19:42Just the writing break I needed.
00:19:52Hi, Max.
00:19:55It's so good to see you.
00:20:00Same here.
00:20:03Come in.
00:20:04Do you want some wine?
00:20:07Water's fine.
00:20:11Don't lose your mind over a man, Lisa.
00:20:13You have a job to do.
00:20:23Hard to believe people have been falling in love with Catherine and Heathcliff for almost 200 years.
00:20:29Well, they're pretty easy to fall for.
00:20:37I leave for New York this week.
00:20:39If you don't have results by the time that I'm back,
00:20:43you're out of a job and a publishing deal.
00:20:46Got it?
00:20:49So, Max, seeing anyone lately?
00:20:53I'm seeing you.
00:20:55Right now.
00:20:56I mean, romantically.
00:21:00What do you want in a woman?
00:21:06Just look in the mirror.
00:21:10You joker.
00:21:15Is it me or is Max coming on stronger than Pepe Le Pew?
00:21:19He's supposed to want Giselle.
00:21:21I've got to get his mind off me.
00:21:26Forgive me, Emily Bronte.
00:21:35Lisa.
00:21:37It's a $50,000 book.
00:21:38$50,000?
00:21:42Oh, no.
00:21:43I went too far.
00:21:45Please let the book be okay.
00:21:52There's no damage.
00:21:55Luckily.
00:21:56I'm so sorry.
00:21:58Let me clean up.
00:22:06So when's the new book coming out?
00:22:09As soon as I finished writing it.
00:22:11It's not done yet, I thought.
00:22:12The subject matter is proving quite difficult.
00:22:16It's about a divorce.
00:22:18My divorce.
00:22:20I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
00:22:22Unlike some public figures, I don't like to broadcast my personal life.
00:22:26Anyway, I'll finish the book. I just can't find the ending.
00:22:29When I have writer's block, I usually try to chalk it out with someone.
00:22:32Usually my mom. She gives surprisingly good notes.
00:22:36Thanks, Lisa, but I don't think my mom can help me with this issue.
00:22:41Sorry. Stupid.
00:22:44Thanks for the advice.
00:22:46I can write an ending.
00:22:47I just don't know what it should be.
00:22:51Which reminds me, I should probably get back to work.
00:23:04Thanks for coming by and getting me out of my head for a bit.
00:23:10Anytime.
00:23:23Later, dude.
00:23:31As I left the house, Max continued his battle with the blank page.
00:23:38I couldn't help wondering if I'd ever see him again.
00:23:42Well, I guess I could maybe do something about that.
00:23:55I need more info to work with before Miss Von Klimt gets back, but how do I ask Max to
00:23:59hang out without giving him the wrong idea?
00:24:01He's supposed to date her, not me.
00:24:09Reading by the pool.
00:24:11That's platonic.
00:24:12Thanks for having me over today.
00:24:14I'd love to return the favor.
00:24:16Come and read by my pool tomorrow?
00:24:19Hmm?
00:24:23What am I thinking?
00:24:24Max goes to red carpet events and lives in a mansion.
00:24:27Why did I ask him to do the most boring thing on earth?
00:24:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:24:34He's responding.
00:24:35Please let me down gently, Max.
00:24:37My fragile heart can't take it.
00:24:45I really needed this.
00:24:49I got the big house, you know, but no pool.
00:24:51You're welcome anytime.
00:24:53I mean, I'm sure it's cool with Miss Von Klimt.
00:24:57It's her house.
00:25:10Oh, still at it, I see.
00:25:15Sorry.
00:25:17Creepy, right?
00:25:18We can be creepy together.
00:25:26You're actually reading it?
00:25:28Are you joking?
00:25:29I can't put it down.
00:25:31It's like the sexiest book I've ever read.
00:25:33Hey, where do you get your ideas?
00:25:35Probably not where you think.
00:25:38My love life's pretty unexciting.
00:25:41Non-existent, actually.
00:25:43I find that hard to believe.
00:25:45You didn't know me growing up.
00:25:47I was an ugly duckling.
00:25:50It was easier making my characters fall in love than actually risking it myself.
00:25:56Well, Lisa, you're not an ugly duckling anymore.
00:26:02I think you should come out of your shell.
00:26:07So, any other thoughts about the book?
00:26:10Yeah, one more.
00:26:12The next book you release, make it under your name.
00:26:16You are too good.
00:26:18I'll think about it.
00:26:21Hey, can you get my back for me?
00:26:33Be cool, Lisa.
00:26:34You're just rubbing some lotion on your hero crush's back.
00:26:38Think of Miss Von Klimt.
00:26:57So, Max, I was wondering...
00:27:00the love interest in your last novel?
00:27:03Is she based on your ex?
00:27:10Shoot!
00:27:11I said the wrong thing!
00:27:13Jesus, Lisa, you must be the worst dating coach in history!
00:27:21Yeah, I guess what I don't post online, it still comes out in my writing.
00:27:26Yeah.
00:27:29She's, uh...
00:27:30She's based on my ex-wife.
00:27:33Very different time.
00:27:36It's...
00:27:37It's hard to even imagine myself having a...
00:27:40romantic bone in my body.
00:27:42Because all I do is write...
00:27:46and avoid writing.
00:27:49Can I ask what happened?
00:27:50I thought she was my...
00:27:54pixie...
00:27:56manic...
00:27:57dream girl.
00:27:58But...
00:28:00she was just manic.
00:28:02She was aggressive.
00:28:03She was type A.
00:28:05Workaholic.
00:28:06Obsessed...
00:28:07with status and money.
00:28:10Sounds like Miss Von Klimt.
00:28:12Is that your type?
00:28:14It used to be.
00:28:16Yeah.
00:28:20But...
00:28:22I'm an introvert, you know?
00:28:25I would much rather prefer a pool day like this than some random L.A. party.
00:28:32If I decide to remarry, it's gonna be someone who's like me.
00:28:40Maybe even a writer.
00:28:47Oh, no.
00:28:48Today was supposed to be platonic.
00:28:50Abort.
00:28:50Abort!
00:28:51What's wrong, Lisa?
00:28:53I'm getting hot.
00:28:53Are you thirsty?
00:28:54I am so thirsty.
00:28:56Ah!
00:28:56Ah!
00:29:00Ah!
00:29:01Ah!
00:29:01Ah!
00:29:01Ah!
00:29:02Ah!
00:29:02Ah!
00:29:05Ah!
00:29:06Ah!
00:29:08Ah!
00:29:17Ah!
00:29:18You okay?
00:29:19Sorry about that.
00:29:20That was an accident.
00:29:21Ah!
00:29:22Hey!
00:29:23That's so mean!
00:29:25Aw!
00:29:40Ah!
00:29:44I'm pruning.
00:29:46You look pretty good for a prune.
00:29:57My phone.
00:30:07Jeez, is she psychic or something?
00:30:11Miss Von Clem, hi.
00:30:14Any updates on Max?
00:30:24Who are you waving to?
00:30:25I just invited a friend over to swim.
00:30:28A fuck party? Show me.
00:30:30No, of course not.
00:30:34Me likey.
00:30:35Just don't bang in my pool. I had it cleaned last week.
00:30:38So, what's happening with Max?
00:30:41I'm getting plenty of material.
00:30:43Oh, music to my ears. Poo-poos, too.
00:30:48I have good news as well. Got the contract all settled with Tony.
00:30:52And we are signing Max to EMU Publishing.
00:30:56That's amazing.
00:30:57I'll talk to you about it more when I see you. Poo-poos got a poo-poo.
00:31:07Hey. How about some dinner tonight?
00:31:10And a little spot by the beach.
00:31:12I don't normally go out, but it might feel special.
00:31:17If you ruin this for Miss Von Clem, your writing career is done for.
00:31:21What'd you say?
00:31:28Giselle's contract just came in. Looks good.
00:31:31Ball's in our court.
00:31:32Yeah, maybe I should read it myself.
00:31:34Come on.
00:31:35You don't trust me?
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:38But make sure that she doesn't turn my books into some Hollywood cash-grab franchise, okay?
00:31:44Hey, you're the boss, boss.
00:31:51Max peddled towards me with that same cheeky smirk he'd given me all day.
00:31:56If I didn't know better, I'd swear he wanted to kiss me.
00:32:02Lisa?
00:32:04Sorry about that. I had a business call.
00:32:07What are you writing?
00:32:11Max, stop!
00:32:13Is this your diary?
00:32:14Oh, no. Max has my journal. How could I be so stupid?
00:32:27On second thought, I would not want anybody reading my diary.
00:32:35You never know when inspiration will strike.
00:32:45Have you felt inspired lately?
00:32:47Yes, I have.
00:32:49Maybe you're my muse.
00:32:50In all seriousness, though, it's nice spending time with another writer.
00:32:55Makes me feel like less of a weirdo.
00:32:58Weirdo?
00:32:59Max, you're one of the most famous authors in the world.
00:33:02It gets lonely.
00:33:15What's wrong?
00:33:17That food's amazing.
00:33:18Can I ask you a favor?
00:33:21Would you be willing to read my manuscript?
00:33:25Maybe you can help me write the ending.
00:33:29Me?
00:33:32I'm signing to EMU Publishing, so we're basically co-workers.
00:33:36And you're a fantastic writer.
00:33:38And you know my work.
00:33:40And you know that I'm struggling with this.
00:33:44I trust you, Lisa.
00:33:47You...
00:33:48Trust me?
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:53Should I not?
00:33:54You might not trust me if you know that I'm an undercover date doctor.
00:34:01I'd be honored to read it, Max.
00:34:04Thanks.
00:34:09It would mean a lot to me.
00:34:18After dinner, we can print it at the library.
00:34:24Stop by my place to read it.
00:34:27In your place?
00:34:28That's okay, isn't it?
00:34:29He can't really be trying to sleep with me, right?
00:34:32He just wants to give me his manuscript.
00:34:35Because if he does have other ideas, I'm not sure I'll be able to control myself.
00:34:43Check, please.
00:35:08I'm just...
00:35:09Careful.
00:35:10Clumsy girl.
00:35:12I'm only clumsy around you.
00:35:14Is that right?
00:35:15Please, do not share this with anyone.
00:35:19The only people I want reading it are you and me.
00:35:23Okay?
00:35:24Thank you for trusting me.
00:35:31You make it easy.
00:35:34Max.
00:35:35They can't be...
00:35:43Oh my God, Max.
00:35:49Oh my God.
00:35:55Shhh...
00:35:57Uh!
00:36:04Shhh...
00:36:05templates.
00:36:10Pfff...
00:36:11Bleep pique gasp.
00:36:12Sssssssssssssssssssshhhh.isation.
00:36:30Wow, Lisa. I want you. You're in the cell.
00:36:52You're in the cell.
00:37:30What have I done?
00:37:43Oh, no. I'm at Max's place. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I can't believe I slept with Max. Miss
00:37:52Von Klimt will murder me.
00:38:01Relax, Lisa. Max is famous. He probably has one-night stands all the time. No reason he can't still fall
00:38:07for Miss Von Klimt.
00:38:09Lisa? What are you doing?
00:38:15Max, look. We don't have to talk about this. I'm a romance writer. I know what this is.
00:38:21What is this?
00:38:22Fun in the sun. Too much wine at dinner. One thing lit to another. It's not a big deal.
00:38:29I haven't slept with anyone, Lisa, since my wife left me.
00:38:33Oh.
00:38:35I want to see you again.
00:38:38And not just to get your notes.
00:38:50Me, too.
00:38:55What's that?
00:39:09Giselle?
00:39:12What are you doing here?
00:39:15Miss Von Klimt? She's supposed to be out of town until Friday.
00:39:22Where's Spector?
00:39:24When Tony told me you were ready to sign the contract, I flew home early to personally deliver mimosas.
00:39:32Hope you're thirsty.
00:39:34Thanks, but it's not a very good time for me.
00:39:37What's wrong? You have company?
00:39:42Good thing I'm not the jealous type.
00:39:45Who's the lucky lady?
00:39:47Gentleman never tells.
00:39:52Thanks again. I'll see you at the signing. Cheers.
00:39:55Max!
00:40:05Mimosas, anyone?
00:40:09Lisa?
00:40:36Giselle!
00:40:37Giselle!
00:40:38You're home early.
00:40:40Did you have a sleepover with your fuck buddy last night?
00:40:43What was his name, by the way?
00:40:46He was just some guy from Tinder.
00:40:48Probably used a fake name anyway.
00:40:50Which was?
00:40:51Ma-
00:40:52Er-
00:40:53Jerry.
00:40:56Jerry McIntosh.
00:40:57Almost sounded like you were going to say Max.
00:41:01That's funny.
00:41:04What's going on with my guy anyways?
00:41:07You know, I've been having the nastiest dreams about him.
00:41:11I saw him a few times while you were away. Everything's in my journal.
00:41:14Let me see!
00:41:16My handwriting's a mess. I'll retype it for you by tonight.
00:41:21Okay. Nice work. I'm sending half your bonus. There better be some juicy shit in there.
00:41:31Thanks, Ms. Von Clemson!
00:41:38Oh, what is up, hot stuff?
00:41:41Keep it in your pants for once.
00:41:43Oh, come on.
00:41:44Everything's going according to plan. I'll see you at the signing.
00:41:47Oh, I will be there, beautiful.
00:42:01I'm getting carpal tunnel. This is, like, the longest contract I've ever signed.
00:42:04Hey, for the biggest check. Huh?
00:42:10Well, you just bought yourself a bestseller.
00:42:14Let's toast.
00:42:23You're awfully quiet today, Giselle.
00:42:25You know I'm thrilled. I'm your biggest fan.
00:42:29I was just thinking about your book that I finished last night.
00:42:33I was wondering if I should read it again before I return it to the library.
00:42:39I love libraries, but I wouldn't take you as the type.
00:42:42Oh, I love the smell of old books.
00:42:46Me too.
00:42:49Ha-ha!
00:42:51Hey!
00:42:54For you.
00:42:59To the thorn tree.
00:43:00To the thorn tree.
00:43:02Cheers.
00:43:05Well, when do we get to see the manuscript?
00:43:08I'm dying to read it.
00:43:10Just waiting for notes from a trusted reader.
00:43:12Really? Who?
00:43:13Don't worry. I'll send it soon.
00:43:19Well, that should get going.
00:43:21So, Tony, thanks for the champagne.
00:43:22You've got it, buddy.
00:43:23And I'll see you.
00:43:24Bye, Max.
00:43:25We'll be in touch.
00:43:31He signed, babe.
00:43:32We are almost there.
00:43:33And if everything else goes through according to plan,
00:43:35you're going to be out of bankruptcy.
00:43:36And we are going to be filthy, stinking rich.
00:43:39You always know what to say to a girl, Tony.
00:43:42Well, I also know what to do to a girl, too.
00:43:48How's the nurse working out, Mom?
00:43:49Nice to have someone get the wine glasses down from the top shelf for me.
00:43:53I am so glad I can finally afford someone for you.
00:43:56Thank you, sugar.
00:43:57Just don't spend all your bonus on me.
00:44:01Gotta go.
00:44:02Love you.
00:44:07Miss Von Klimt, hi.
00:44:10Max?
00:44:12Am I interrupting something?
00:44:14No.
00:44:17But I, uh...
00:44:19So, can I come in?
00:44:21Resist, Lisa.
00:44:22Miss Von Klimt sees Max in here.
00:44:23I'm dead meat.
00:44:25I'm dead meat.
00:44:34At least I'll die happy.
00:44:35At least I'll die happy.
00:44:43At least I'll die happy.
00:45:03Max's car?
00:45:04I'm dead meat.
00:45:06I'm dead.
00:45:31Max's car?
00:45:32What's he doing here?
00:45:39I finished the manuscript.
00:45:41It might just be your best book yet.
00:45:44That means a lot's coming from you.
00:45:47What do I do about the ending?
00:45:53The main character goes through so much heartbreak.
00:45:56He has a choice at the end.
00:45:58To live in pain or to move on.
00:46:00To write the final chapter.
00:46:02Why not consider how you feel?
00:46:04Do you think you'll find love again?
00:46:07Or not?
00:46:10I never thought I would even trust a woman
00:46:12after Heather cheated on me.
00:46:17But now,
00:46:20I'm seeing some light shine through the dark clouds.
00:46:25Maybe you.
00:46:26I mean, James.
00:46:29You should get a happy ending.
00:46:31Give the readers some hope.
00:46:35Max!
00:46:36Max!
00:46:39Oh my god!
00:46:40Oh my god!
00:46:40Giselle's home!
00:46:43Are you guys friends?
00:46:44We are, but I just don't want her to find out about us yet.
00:46:48Why not?
00:46:49Because...
00:46:51You're a private person.
00:46:53It's none of her business.
00:46:55You're sweet.
00:47:01Lisa!
00:47:02Is Max in there?
00:47:09Max!
00:47:10What are you doing here?
00:47:13Uh...
00:47:15Discussing his manuscript.
00:47:19Lisa gives great notes.
00:47:22Well, actually, I'm glad you're here.
00:47:25Ocean Vuong's having a reading tonight.
00:47:27Are you free?
00:47:28I love Ocean Vuong!
00:47:32You should come with.
00:47:33Actually, Lisa has other plans.
00:47:36Too bad.
00:47:37We'll miss you.
00:47:59You sure you don't want to get a drink with Ocean?
00:48:01I mean, I was tempted.
00:48:03Ocean's a sweetheart, but...
00:48:05I'm not much of a going-out girl.
00:48:07I'd much rather stay in and curl up with a good book.
00:48:11I don't know, you seemed pretty cozy at that industry event the other night.
00:48:14Because I'm good at my job.
00:48:16I'm a bookworm, Max. That is why I run a publishing company.
00:48:21Yeah, but didn't you inherit that company?
00:48:23What's your point?
00:48:25Okay, what's your favorite book?
00:48:27I'd have to say Wuthering Heights. It always makes me cry.
00:48:30Wuthering Heights?
00:48:31What, you don't like it?
00:48:33I've just been hearing a lot about that book lately. It's actually one of my favorites.
00:48:37Makes me cry.
00:48:41It's getting really cold outside. Do you want to come in for a coffee?
00:48:45Um, yeah. Yeah, sure.
00:48:52Sorry.
00:49:00I know it's worked. I can't watch.
00:49:08I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, Giselle.
00:49:11I like you. And we have a lot of similar interests.
00:49:15I misread the situation, too.
00:49:17I like you, too.
00:49:19I'm seeing someone.
00:49:21And I really like her.
00:49:22And I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:49:24Um, maybe we can just be friends. I mean, we work together. It's a lot less complicated that way.
00:49:30Sure.
00:49:31I'd like that.
00:49:35Well, I gotta get going.
00:49:37Have a good night, and good luck with that girl.
00:49:40Yeah. Hmm. Thanks.
00:49:43Seeing someone? If it's that mousy little Lisa, I'm gonna feed that bitch rat poison.
00:49:49That home-wrecking whore has outstayed her welcome. Big time.
00:49:57Max and Giselle kissed.
00:49:59So what? That's a good thing.
00:50:01Why am I being so weird about it?
00:50:07Can we talk?
00:50:11Thanks so much for all your advice with Max. It's been working wonders.
00:50:16How'd it go last night?
00:50:17Let's just say I think I'll be handling things on my own from here on out.
00:50:21That's great.
00:50:23Yeah.
00:50:24I'm sending the rest of your bonus now.
00:50:26Pack your bags. Your car arrives in an hour.
00:50:33What? What? Did you think you were gonna move in?
00:50:36I'm rich, Lisa. I'm not looking for a roommate.
00:50:39I thought I'd have more time.
00:50:41For what?
00:50:43I never saw the Hollywood sign.
00:50:46Overrated. Pack your bags. Your car's gonna be here in an hour.
00:50:51Relax, poo-poo. I'm coming.
00:50:55Take the hint. Go back to Indiana and forget all about Max.
00:50:58He's in a Miss Van Clempt now. We were never meant to be.
00:51:03I'm reading the sequel.
00:51:05Unless we are. What do I do?
00:51:10What do I do?
00:51:38Almost to the airport.
00:51:45Can I change the destination?
00:51:52Come on, Max. Be home.
00:51:58Lisa.
00:52:01What's the matter?
00:52:05I...
00:52:06I...
00:52:12Hey.
00:52:14Just breathe.
00:52:16Calm down.
00:52:17You're with me now. Everything's gonna be just fine.
00:52:21I...
00:52:23I...
00:52:25I...
00:52:39I...
00:52:41Shh...
00:52:44What?
00:52:49That bitch better not have stopped for tacos on my dime.
00:52:53Wait, I know that address.
00:53:06Max's house?
00:53:09She's dead.
00:53:21I should go or I'll miss my flight.
00:53:24I just came to say goodbye.
00:53:26I didn't expect all of this.
00:53:32Maybe it sounds crazy, Lisa, but I'm falling for you.
00:53:38You can stay here with me as long as you want.
00:53:44Really?
00:53:46And if you miss your mom, I will fly her here.
00:53:49She can stay here, there's plenty of space.
00:53:52I'll put in ramps for her wheelchair.
00:53:55What about you and Miss Von Klimt?
00:53:58I saw you kissing last night.
00:54:00Well, then you must have missed me letting her down easy,
00:54:03because you are the only one that I want.
00:54:09Let me think about it.
00:54:11Alright?
00:54:12Take as much time as you need.
00:54:26Real smooth, Max.
00:54:33I have to admit, I'm curious what she's working on next.
00:54:36One little pee couldn't hurt.
00:54:46I was craving sex with Max more and more.
00:54:50Knowing he was forbidden fruit only made it sweeter.
00:55:04What the hell is this?
00:55:09Max, I can explain.
00:55:10You're writing about us.
00:55:12About me.
00:55:13I told you, my journal's private.
00:55:15Then why does it look like you're writing your next romance novel?
00:55:18It does.
00:55:20You know, I don't want my personal life splattered around.
00:55:26Max, it's just my diary.
00:55:28I'd never dream of publishing it.
00:55:30I cannot believe I fell for your ugly duckling story.
00:55:34Just admit it.
00:55:36You are using me for material.
00:55:38I can't tell Max the truth, or it'll mean ratting out Miss Von Klimt,
00:55:41and that means losing my publishing contract.
00:55:43What do I do?
00:55:49Your silence says everything.
00:55:52Max, I never meant to hurt you.
00:55:55Don't you have a plane to catch?
00:55:56But Max!
00:55:57We are done.
00:55:59Get out, Lisa.
00:56:03And if I ever see this printed, you'll be hearing from my attorneys.
00:56:07Please.
00:56:14I'm so sorry, Max.
00:56:31Need a ride, skink?
00:56:38What are you doing here?
00:56:41Bitch, what are you doing here?
00:56:43You're supposed to be at the airport right now.
00:56:46But no.
00:56:47You just had to stop by Max's for a little last quickie, didn't you?
00:56:52I can't explain.
00:56:53No!
00:56:53I brought you out here for a reason.
00:56:55And that reason is not fucking Max behind my back.
00:56:59I trusted you.
00:57:01I'm so sorry I let you down.
00:57:05Max just broke up with me.
00:57:07You broke up?
00:57:09Max must be vulnerable.
00:57:12Maybe I'm still in the game after all.
00:57:16I'll forgive you if you leave right now.
00:57:18You can keep the money and the publishing deal.
00:57:22But I never want to see your face at LA again.
00:57:25Got it?
00:57:27Okay.
00:57:29Now beat it.
00:57:38Damn it, Lisa.
00:57:39I said to get out of here.
00:57:41We're through.
00:57:44Giselle.
00:57:46What are you doing here?
00:57:47I guess this is a bad time.
00:57:50Wait.
00:57:52I could use somebody to talk to.
00:57:58Thanks, Giselle.
00:58:00I don't think alcohol can solve this problem, no.
00:58:03Couldn't hurt.
00:58:15I don't think so.
00:58:18So.
00:58:21What happened with Lisa?
00:58:23She was using me.
00:58:25For her next romance novel.
00:58:28I found her journal.
00:58:31I should have known it was too good to be true.
00:58:34She's the woman you told me about?
00:58:38I'm so sorry.
00:58:40No, Lisa's always been like this.
00:58:43She's a succubus.
00:58:45Just using men for her perverted novels.
00:58:58Now, I may not know what to say to make you feel better, but...
00:59:03I do know something that might distract you.
00:59:30I have just returned from a visit to my landlord.
00:59:34The solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled.
00:59:37The solitary neighbor that I shall be troubled.
00:59:37This is certainly a beautiful country.
00:59:44In all England, I do not believe that I could have fixed on a situation so completely removed from the
00:59:54stir of society.
01:00:20Are you going to mope around in your PJs forever?
01:00:24I'm a writer mom.
01:00:26PJs are my uniform.
01:00:29When are you going to tell me what happened?
01:00:32How about getting out of the house?
01:00:34I thought we got Theresa so you didn't have to be around so much.
01:00:38Your Tinder matches are just waiting for a time and place.
01:00:42I don't want a Tinder date, mom.
01:00:44Just leave me alone.
01:00:45Please.
01:00:46See what I'm dealing with, Theresa.
01:00:49Goes to L.A. for two weeks.
01:00:50Comes back a drama queen.
01:00:56MK Roth's Thorn Tree tops Time's bestseller lists.
01:01:01Congratulations, Max.
01:01:06Ms. Von Klimt?
01:01:11Looks like she finally got him.
01:01:23Another week topping the bestseller list.
01:01:26We're breaking records, Max.
01:01:28I'm just glad that people like it.
01:01:31Like it? They love it!
01:01:33You might win the National Book Award.
01:01:40You've been drinking a lot lately.
01:01:43Everything okay?
01:01:47Well, I know something that will cheer you up.
01:01:51I went to the doctor today.
01:01:54Guess what?
01:01:55What?
01:01:56I'm pregnant.
01:02:00You're pregnant?
01:02:02But how? How? We're using protection.
01:02:05Accidents happen, right?
01:02:07You are going to be such a great father.
01:02:11I can't wait to be Mrs. Roth.
01:02:13Yeah.
01:02:15So you're keeping it?
01:02:17Why wouldn't I?
01:02:18I want this to work, Max.
01:02:21I love you.
01:02:36Well, whatever you want to do, I will support it.
01:02:40I love you.
01:02:41I love you.
01:02:46Shihara never loved anyone like the werewolf king.
01:02:50Their days were filled with long talks, reading, strolls around the castle, their nights with passionate lovemaking.
01:02:58Shihara had never been so happy.
01:03:03I can't write romance with a broken heart.
01:03:05This is torture.
01:03:08Not now, Mom.
01:03:10I thought a little gift might improve your mood.
01:03:14Thanks, Mom.
01:03:15You didn't have to.
01:03:17Your favorite author.
01:03:18Everyone's talking about the new book.
01:03:20It's in Oprah's book club.
01:03:23Surprised I haven't seen you reading it.
01:03:26I just didn't have the time.
01:03:29Thanks, Mom.
01:03:54As James perused the library, he saw a young woman in glasses crying over Wuthering Heights.
01:04:01She felt his presence, wiping her eyes as she returned his gaze.
01:04:10James had lost the game of love, but that didn't mean he'd never win again.
01:04:17A happy ending.
01:04:19He took my note.
01:04:23Maybe there's still hope for me.
01:04:26Billionaire author M.K. Roth to Wed CEO of EMU Publishing.
01:04:32They're getting married?
01:04:41Yes.
01:04:42Yes.
01:04:43Yes.
01:04:44Yes!
01:04:45Yes!
01:04:45Oh!
01:04:57All this scheming around.
01:05:00Got me so horny for you, man.
01:05:08By this time next week, we're gonna be rich because of that brilliant contract he made.
01:05:23Once you guys get married, the book rights transfer to you.
01:05:27The royalties alone are gonna solve your company's bankruptcy.
01:05:30Then we'll take Max to Hollywood, whether he likes it or not.
01:05:34The studios are dying for a movie version of the Thorn Tree.
01:05:38Or not a trilogy.
01:05:39A TV show.
01:05:40Crypto.
01:05:41Video games.
01:05:42The possibilities are endless.
01:05:44We just have to keep our secret a little longer.
01:05:48I'll get rid of Max as soon as possible.
01:05:50Good.
01:05:51I hate sneaking around.
01:05:53Would've been easier if that bitch Lisa didn't almost fuck it up.
01:05:57Guess you get what you pay for.
01:05:59What do you mean?
01:06:01Oh, I didn't tell you?
01:06:02I've been paying her with her own money.
01:06:06I've withheld her royalties for years.
01:06:09You are so bad.
01:06:21What is it, honey bunch?
01:06:23Mom, I think I have to tell you about what happened in LA.
01:06:33I couldn't tell Max why I was really writing about him.
01:06:36Now he's marrying Miss Von Klimt and he probably doesn't even know that she hired me to help her seduce
01:06:41him.
01:06:41Sounds like you need to tell him.
01:06:43Miss Von Klimt said if I ever go back to LA she'll cancel my publishing contract.
01:06:48We'll lose your nerves.
01:06:49Maybe a lot more.
01:06:51Look, Miss Von Bitch was born rich.
01:06:54She doesn't know anything but running her daddy's company.
01:06:56You were born in the middle of nowhere.
01:06:58With a mom in a wheelchair.
01:07:00And somehow you still became a big author.
01:07:03You could take that Barbie any day of the week.
01:07:06But Max dumped me.
01:07:09What if he really does love Miss Von Klimt?
01:07:12You'll never know unless you talk to him.
01:07:15Brave.
01:07:15Like Shiara, the elf princess.
01:07:19You're not that nerdy girl you were in high school.
01:07:22You are a badass bitch.
01:07:25You're right.
01:07:27But can I really break up a wedding?
01:07:29Hell yes, you can.
01:07:41Hey.
01:07:42You look great pal.
01:07:45I can't believe I'm getting married again.
01:07:48Don't you think it's too soon?
01:07:49Not with the right lady.
01:07:53I'm not so sure about that.
01:07:55What?
01:07:59Don't tell me you're getting cold feet.
01:08:01What is this about?
01:08:05Max, do not tell me it was about that English smut writer.
01:08:08Hey.
01:08:10Men would kill to be with Jazzy.
01:08:13You know that.
01:08:26Velvet and Lust?
01:08:28Why are you reading this crap?
01:08:31Isn't it bad luck to see each other before the wedding day?
01:08:35Netflix called.
01:08:36They want to adapt The Thorn Tree as a dating show.
01:08:41The ultimatum meets Vanderpump Rules.
01:08:44What do you think?
01:08:49I'm not whoring out my work.
01:08:51Stop asking me about Hollywood deals.
01:08:54I'm sorry. I just got excited.
01:08:57We'll talk after the ceremony.
01:09:08I made it.
01:09:09Thank God for book talk.
01:09:13Lisa?
01:09:14No, she ruined everything.
01:09:17Lisa.
01:09:17Tony, hi!
01:09:18Yeah?
01:09:19Hey, I know this sounds crazy, but I really need to talk to Max.
01:09:22Do you know where I can find him?
01:09:23He's about to get married, Lisa.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:26That's kind of why I'm here.
01:09:27Okay, he doesn't want to see you.
01:09:29He and Giselle are very happy.
01:09:30No, but he doesn't know the truth.
01:09:32Giselle hired me to help her seduce him.
01:09:34What?
01:09:36You're talking like a crazy person.
01:09:38Alright, go back to the loony bin.
01:09:39Now.
01:09:39Aren't you Max's friend?
01:09:41Don't you want to hear me out?
01:09:43Nope.
01:09:44Come on.
01:09:45Let's go.
01:09:46Wait.
01:09:48You're in on this too.
01:09:51What are you two planning to do to Max?
01:09:53You stupid little bitch.
01:09:54You're gonna ruin this entire plan for me.
01:09:56What plan?
01:09:58I warned you.
01:10:03What the hell's happening here, Tony?
01:10:06I'm so sorry.
01:10:07Lisa.
01:10:07Hey.
01:10:10What is happening?
01:10:12I told you to keep your man-stealing ass out of L.A.
01:10:17Miss von Klimt, think very clearly about what you say next.
01:10:22You know what I can do to you.
01:10:24Easy, Giselle.
01:10:26What happened between you two?
01:10:28Don't talk to her, Max.
01:10:29She is just looking to use you for more material for her books.
01:10:33Isn't that right, Lisa?
01:10:36Lisa, is that true?
01:10:37Come on, Lisa.
01:10:38Stand up for yourself.
01:10:40It's now or never.
01:10:53Giselle hired me to help her seduce you.
01:10:55What you read in my journal wasn't a book, at least not one I planned on.
01:10:59They were notes to share with Miss von Klimt.
01:11:03So, what happened between us was fake?
01:11:06No. I just wanted to be a good date doctor.
01:11:09I was as shocked as anyone when I was the one who started to fall in love with you.
01:11:13Oh, you fell in love with me.
01:11:15Of course, Max.
01:11:18And I don't know what Miss von Klimt has told you, but I don't think she's marrying you for the
01:11:21right reasons.
01:11:22Because Tony seems to be a part of her plan.
01:11:24She is babbling like a psycho!
01:11:27Somebody call the police!
01:11:29I mean, to ruin our wedding day!
01:11:31Max!
01:11:33Please believe me.
01:11:35I love you.
01:11:37Don't marry her.
01:11:38LAPD!
01:11:39There is a raving lunatic trying to ruin my wedding!
01:11:43And you know what?
01:11:44I'm gonna bring her right over here, right-
01:11:46Answer me this.
01:11:48Is that baby mine?
01:12:01It's mine!
01:12:03Giselle and I had the idea to screw you out of your book rights by adding some hidden clauses in
01:12:07the contract.
01:12:09She marries you.
01:12:11She controls everything.
01:12:13Tony, we have known each other for years.
01:12:17Why would you betray me?
01:12:20EMU Publishing was going bankrupt.
01:12:22Giselle needed money.
01:12:23She convinced me that I needed some too.
01:12:26But honestly, I didn't care about that.
01:12:30All I wanted was her.
01:12:31Oh, you sappy piece of shit!
01:12:34You fucked us!
01:12:36I love you!
01:12:37And the baby!
01:12:38Yeah?
01:12:39We hate you!
01:12:41It's safe to say this wedding is over.
01:12:44And I'll see you two lovebirds in court.
01:12:52Can you ever forgive me for doubting you?
01:12:55I don't know what came over me.
01:12:56I was a mess after our fight.
01:13:00We can talk about it over dinner.
01:13:02I know a little spot by the beach.
01:13:08You are finished!
01:13:09Lisa, I am cancelling our contract.
01:13:12And I am keeping the Heidi Brushfire name.
01:13:15Yeah, I'll write all the next books myself!
01:13:18A monkey could write that trash!
01:13:27You!
01:13:29Get up!
01:13:30Baby!
01:13:30Baby!
01:13:38Don't worry about Giselle.
01:13:40I will get you a new publishing deal.
01:13:42You just have to trust me.
01:13:46Do you trust me?
01:13:56I love you, Lisa.
01:14:03Happy to present the author, formally known as Heidi Brushfire, reading from her first novel under her real name, which
01:14:13has already topped the New York Times bestseller list. Ladies and gentlemen, Lisa Brown!
01:14:20Yes!
01:14:27I sat at my laptop in PJ's, writing a sex scene between a werewolf king and an elven princess.
01:14:34When the phone rang, little did I know my life was about to change forever.
01:14:47I love the book.
01:14:49Why did you decide to publish under your own name?
01:14:51My boyfriend was very encouraging.
01:14:53Some of you might know MK Roth.
01:14:56Awww!
01:14:58Max started his own publishing company after some bad industry experiences.
01:15:03His next book's coming out later this year.
01:15:09So, you didn't write the new Elven Lust book?
01:15:12It totally sucks.
01:15:14The Heidi Brushfire name belongs to my old publisher.
01:15:17I heard the CEO writes the books herself now.
01:15:20Guess she must have plenty of time now that she's bankrupt.
01:15:25I have a question.
01:15:26When are you and Max getting married?
01:15:28He let you put out this sexy book all about how you met.
01:15:32How about a happy ending?
01:15:33Mom!
01:15:35Actually...
01:15:38I can answer that.
01:15:48I've never really been a public person, but Lisa broke me out of that shell.
01:15:55Speaking of which...
01:16:04Lisa Brown...
01:16:06Will you marry me?
01:16:10Yes.
01:16:11Yes
