Kate, I… I had a great time.

00:19.279 --> 00:21.920
-Me too.
-I… I think you're a real nice person.

00:24.640 --> 00:25.480
[music fades]

00:26.599 --> 00:30.560
I'm sorry,
but Nashville may be a bit too far for me,

00:30.639 --> 00:31.560
but I…

00:31.639 --> 00:35.239
but I'm hoping
we could just remain friends.

00:35.320 --> 00:36.879
I'd like that very much. I understand.

00:36.960 --> 00:39.160
-Oh, thank you.
-Thank you.

00:39.239 --> 00:41.160
[Connor] I… I know.

00:42.640 --> 00:45.280
Well, you know what they say
about long distance.

00:45.360 --> 00:46.520
Yes, I agree.

00:46.600 --> 00:50.480
-Yeah. But I'm glad we can remain friends.
-Me too.

00:50.559 --> 00:53.160
I hope next time you're around here, uh,

00:53.760 --> 00:56.239
we could hang out sometime,
maybe go bowling.

00:56.320 --> 00:57.360
I would love that.

00:57.440 --> 00:59.879
-Yeah, that'd be great.
-Uh-huh.

01:00.480 --> 01:01.599
So, uh…

01:02.400 --> 01:06.920
-Yeah, I kind of have to call my mom.
-I understand. It was nice meeting you.

01:07.000 --> 01:08.800
-It was nice meeting you too.
-Bye.

01:35.360 --> 01:38.800
James is arriving home
after a speed dating event.

01:38.880 --> 01:40.199
Hey!

01:40.280 --> 01:42.399
Yes, yes. Hello, how are you doing?

01:42.479 --> 01:44.160
-Good. How are you?
-[James] Good.

01:44.240 --> 01:46.199
-Yes, I'm doing just fine.
-[June] How did it go?

01:46.280 --> 01:48.800
Oh, I think it went well enough,
I suppose.

01:48.880 --> 01:51.640
Unfortunately, only two out
of the six women with whom I interacted

01:51.720 --> 01:53.679
really interested me, as sad as that is.

01:53.759 --> 01:56.679
Their names were Erika and Jackie,
or short for Jacqueline,

01:56.759 --> 01:59.000

No, I just wasn't feeling anything,
that's all.

-That's fine. Aw.
-You can't force something.

02:05.759 --> 02:08.199
You can't force feelings
where there are not any.

-Honey, I'm not. I'm not.
-So I…

02:10.799 --> 02:12.239
-Did you have fun?
-Yes, of course.

02:12.320 --> 02:15.480
That's the main thing, is to have fun.
Right. To meet new people…

02:15.560 --> 02:16.600
Yes, exactly.

[suspenseful music playing]

02:39.959 --> 02:42.680

you've had no matches this time.

02:42.760 --> 02:44.360
-Oh.
-I'm so sorry.

02:44.440 --> 02:46.160
Of course, yes, no, I understand.

02:46.239 --> 02:49.440
I haven't had any matches before,
so I wasn't expecting any today.

02:49.519 --> 02:51.360
But I hope you had fun at the event.

02:51.440 --> 02:55.400
Of course I still had fun, thank you.
First of all, I appreciate your honesty.

02:55.920 --> 02:58.400

-Of course. Have a nice day. Goodbye.

-[James] I know, it's sad. Yes.

03:02.120 --> 03:04.280
No, please don't worry about it.
I… As I said, I…

03:04.360 --> 03:06.120
-I… I… I have--
-It's gonna make me cry.

03:06.200 --> 03:10.720
No, Mom, please, don't worry about it.
I've gotten accustomed to it. Don't worry.

03:10.799 --> 03:12.399
But I haven't!

03:12.480 --> 03:14.239
[James] Yeah, so… [muttering]

03:14.320 --> 03:16.480
-[June] I'm sorry.
-Mom, please don't worry.

03:17.040 --> 03:20.120
-Don't worry about it, okay? [sighs]
-I'm not. Sorry, honey.

-Hang on, I just need a tissue.
-[James splutters]

03:23.679 --> 03:24.600
[June chuckles] Sorry.

03:24.679 --> 03:27.239
-[Lawrence] There's always next time.
-Yes, exactly.

03:28.160 --> 03:29.239

03:31.280 --> 03:33.480
-[James] Always another time.
-There'll be another time.

-Yes, of course, absolutely. Yes.
-Yeah. That'll be good. Good attitude.

03:38.080 --> 03:40.480
Well, I'm sorry
that you didn't have any matches.

03:40.560 --> 03:41.920
[James] I know, thank you.

03:42.000 --> 03:45.079
And hopefully in the future,
you will find a match.

03:45.160 --> 03:47.640
Yes, absolutely.
That's my hope as well. Mm.

03:47.720 --> 03:49.799
-I hope so. I hope so.
-[James] Of course.

03:49.880 --> 03:51.560
-[June] Okay.
-Yes, thank you. Ah.

03:57.399 --> 04:01.480
-[Cian] Does that make you feel sad?
-Yes, it makes me feel very sad.

04:01.560 --> 04:06.359
I just expected him to maybe find a match,
or at least one.

04:06.920 --> 04:11.280
But… I'm just sad when it… this way.

04:12.280 --> 04:15.959
We have to hope
that he will eventually, you know?

04:17.640 --> 04:18.599
[James sighs]

04:19.399 --> 04:22.120
James, you wanna watch a movie
with us tonight?

04:22.200 --> 04:24.479
[James] Yes, yes, yes,
definitely, of course.

04:25.080 --> 04:26.320
-Okay.
-[James] Yes.

04:27.080 --> 04:28.000
Very good. Mm.

04:30.039 --> 04:32.640
[Cian] If you could change one thing
in your life, what would it be?

04:33.160 --> 04:35.479
Not being single and finding a companion.

04:36.240 --> 04:37.640
-[Cian] Finding love?
-Yes.

04:37.720 --> 04:40.400
[Cian] When it comes to dating,
would you like some guidance?

04:40.479 --> 04:42.880
Yes, Jennifer Cook would be very helpful.

04:42.960 --> 04:47.400
I'd like to talk to her about how… how…
about emotional regulation during a date.

04:47.479 --> 04:51.360
'Cause that's something I struggle with,
being open with a guy and what's…

04:51.440 --> 04:54.160
what appropriate toys
for me to bring on a date.

is visiting Madison

05:02.800 --> 05:05.200
as she prepares to step out on a date.

05:05.840 --> 05:08.320
I was diagnosed as being autistic in 2011,

05:08.400 --> 05:12.479
and since then, I've been working
with neurodiverse individuals

05:12.560 --> 05:16.000
to make their lives feel
more empowered and enriched,

05:16.080 --> 05:18.919
and a lot of times,
that involves finding love.

05:20.320 --> 05:22.919
-Hello. Are you Jennifer Cook?
-I am. Are you Madison?

05:23.000 --> 05:26.599
-Yes, I am. So nice to meet you.
-So nice to meet you. Can I come in?

05:26.680 --> 05:28.160
-Yes, you may.
-Awesome.

05:28.240 --> 05:30.120
[Madison] So I have
a list of things to discuss.

05:30.200 --> 05:33.479
Oh, that's fantastic.
All right. That's really helpful.

05:33.560 --> 05:36.160
Yes, I have OCD,
so it helps me to write things down.

05:36.240 --> 05:39.640
That's probably a really great way
to reduce your anxiety, too,

05:39.720 --> 05:41.840
is knowing that you've got it
all written out.

05:41.919 --> 05:46.520
Awesome. So I was gonna ask you,
so you're getting ready to go on a date?

05:46.599 --> 05:47.880
-Yes.
-Yes.

05:47.960 --> 05:50.680
Tell me what you're hoping to have happen.

05:50.760 --> 05:52.880
I'm looking for… for a guy

05:52.960 --> 05:55.800
that I… that I could
eventually become companions with.

05:55.880 --> 05:57.640
-Okay.
-Like, we can become friends.

05:57.720 --> 06:01.599
And then eventually
we can become… become soulmates.

06:01.680 --> 06:03.919
Oh, I love that. It's beautiful.

06:04.000 --> 06:07.599
If he has very different interests
than you, is that okay?

06:07.680 --> 06:11.400
That would be fine. I need to work on
compromising, something I struggle with.

06:11.479 --> 06:13.200
I'm gonna draw something for you.

06:13.280 --> 06:15.919
Yes. That's touching something
on my list already.

06:16.000 --> 06:18.200
Flexibility and compromise and being open.

06:18.280 --> 06:20.080
That's already touching
something on my list.

06:20.160 --> 06:24.000
[Jennifer] I love that.
Okay, so if we think of your comfort zone,

06:24.080 --> 06:28.120
and when you're in your comfort zone,
everything feels really easy,

06:28.200 --> 06:31.799
where you know what to expect,
and you know what you're gonna talk about,

06:31.880 --> 06:34.479
and you know what you're gonna see,
all those things.

06:34.560 --> 06:37.799
Sometimes people say, "You have to
get outside of your comfort zone."

06:37.880 --> 06:39.799
That's where the magic happens.

06:40.320 --> 06:42.359
It is true, but way out here,

06:42.440 --> 06:45.280
if we were to put you in a situation

06:45.359 --> 06:48.080
where you all didn't have
anything in common,

06:48.160 --> 06:52.039
that might even feel enough
to make you feel…

06:52.760 --> 06:55.760
-Panicked. And anxious.
-[Jennifer] Panicked, right? And anxious.

06:55.840 --> 06:57.440
We don't want that for you either.

06:57.520 --> 06:59.840
If a guy liked horror movies,
it would make me feel panicked.

06:59.919 --> 07:01.400
-I hate horror movies.
-Exactly.

07:01.479 --> 07:02.840
What we want is,

07:02.919 --> 07:06.000
there's this secret zone here.

07:06.080 --> 07:07.120
Yes.

07:07.200 --> 07:11.479
[Jennifer] Okay,
and this is… a learning zone.

07:11.560 --> 07:13.160
-Yes.
-That's where we want you to be.

07:13.239 --> 07:17.039
That learning zone is
where things feel exciting a little bit,

07:17.120 --> 07:18.239
a little bit nervous.

07:18.320 --> 07:22.159
Comfort zone would be the fixed mindset,
and the learning zone would be growth.

07:22.239 --> 07:24.599
It's exactly that. You've got it, 100%.

07:24.680 --> 07:29.560
And anxiety can make us
be very… mm, rigid, right?

07:29.640 --> 07:30.640
-Yes.
-Inflexible.

07:30.719 --> 07:34.000
Just by going out on a date,
you're going into the learning zone.

07:34.080 --> 07:36.479
-Right?
-Yes, because a date is out of my routine.

07:36.560 --> 07:37.520
Exactly right.

07:38.080 --> 07:40.880
So one thing I do struggle with
is emotional regulation.

07:40.960 --> 07:41.799
[Jennifer] Mm-hmm.

07:41.880 --> 07:45.159
And one thing that really triggers it
is being called Maddie.

07:45.239 --> 07:47.520
-I only like Madison.
-Okay.

07:47.599 --> 07:51.159
Being called Maddie can cause me
to have a panic attack or even a tantrum.

07:51.239 --> 07:54.479
You have every right to be called
what you want to be called.

07:54.560 --> 07:59.719
You can absolutely say, "Hi, I'm Madison,
and I go by Madison, please."

07:59.799 --> 08:01.400
Right? That's fine to say.

08:01.479 --> 08:05.599
Yes, and then also, how many dolls
sh… should… should I take with me?

08:05.679 --> 08:08.799
Because some people say I shouldn't really
be taking any for the date.

08:08.880 --> 08:11.400
Okay, so do you like to take your dolls
when you go out?

08:11.479 --> 08:13.440
Yes, it makes me feel secure.

08:13.520 --> 08:15.840
Then what I would say is,
if you were to pick,

08:15.919 --> 08:18.320
how does two dolls sound to you?

08:18.400 --> 08:19.719
Two dolls sounds fine.

08:19.799 --> 08:22.359
That seems to me like an okay thing to do.

08:22.440 --> 08:23.400
Okay.

08:23.479 --> 08:26.039
[Jennifer] I don't want you
to feel embarrassed about who you are.

08:26.120 --> 08:27.120
-Right.
-Good.

08:27.200 --> 08:28.760
At the end of the date,

08:28.840 --> 08:33.439
if you decide that you wanna go out
on another date with this person…

08:33.520 --> 08:35.000
-Right?
-Yes.

08:35.079 --> 08:37.320
So that's when you can say,

08:37.400 --> 08:39.640
"Would you like to go out
on another date together?"

08:39.720 --> 08:40.559
Okay.

08:40.640 --> 08:43.120
Or what happens if you're like,
"Yeah, I don't think so"?

08:43.199 --> 08:46.120
How could you say that kindly,
do you think?

08:46.199 --> 08:47.800
[sighs] I don't know.

08:47.880 --> 08:51.840
So I would say something like,
"I've had, you know, a really nice time."

08:51.920 --> 08:54.280
"I don't think we're a romantic match."

08:54.360 --> 08:57.160
-Or "Maybe we can be friends."
-Yes. Yes.

08:57.240 --> 08:59.760
-There's one more possibility.
-[Madison] Yes.

08:59.840 --> 09:02.360
What if you're just not interested
in this person whatsoever,

09:02.440 --> 09:04.040
and you don't wanna be friends?

09:04.120 --> 09:05.959
-[sucks in breath]
-[Jennifer laughs]

09:06.040 --> 09:08.199
-I don't know!
-Okay.

09:08.280 --> 09:10.440
So that's when you say,
"I've had a nice time."

09:10.520 --> 09:13.600
"I don't think we're a romantic match.
I wish you the best of luck."

09:13.680 --> 09:15.320
-Yes.
-All right, girl.

09:15.400 --> 09:16.680
-You're gonna have fun.
-Yes.

09:16.760 --> 09:20.839
That's the most important thing
about all of this, is have fun.

09:20.920 --> 09:23.839
Okay? And never be embarrassed
about who you are.

09:23.920 --> 09:26.480
Somebody's gonna be lucky
to have you in their life.

09:26.560 --> 09:28.280
-Yes.
-[Jennifer] Mm-hmm. Yeah.

09:29.240 --> 09:33.199
I love how Madison gives life
to parts of the spectrum

09:33.280 --> 09:35.400
that often get ignored or misunderstood.

09:35.480 --> 09:38.280
She is bubbly.
She is effervescent. She's outgoing.

09:38.920 --> 09:43.160
I think that what's gonna be a challenge
for her is conquering her anxiety.

09:43.240 --> 09:46.640
And that's a pervasive issue
for a lot of autistic people.

09:46.720 --> 09:47.959
She's not alone in that.

09:48.040 --> 09:50.120
It was really great to meet you.

09:50.199 --> 09:52.640
I enjoyed… I enjoyed meeting you as…
meeting you as well.

09:52.720 --> 09:54.800
All right. Well, we will talk soon, okay?

09:54.880 --> 09:56.160
-Okay.
-Okay. Bye, honey.

10:08.120 --> 10:09.880
I love you too, Adan.

10:09.959 --> 10:14.120
[narrator] …Dani and Adan are celebrating
their one-year anniversary.

10:15.199 --> 10:17.959
How would you feel for the both of us
going away together?

10:18.040 --> 10:21.920
I think it'd be great. I mean, how would
you feel about going to Mexico, even?

10:22.000 --> 10:24.240
[Dani] Well,
I would definitely not mind about this.

10:24.320 --> 10:25.880
I would definitely be interested.

10:25.959 --> 10:30.839
It would be great if we just romantically,
um, sleep together, all of this, and…

10:30.920 --> 10:32.360
-Yeah.
-You know what I mean?

10:32.440 --> 10:35.000
-Intimacy. There's-- You don't--
-[Adan] That's right.

10:35.079 --> 10:37.920
I know it's a delicate topic,
but I would be open to it.

10:38.000 --> 10:40.520
-Protection, of course.
-Oh yes.

10:40.600 --> 10:44.320
So I'm definitely open to that idea,
as long as it's safe, consensual.

10:44.400 --> 10:45.839
I'm glad, Adan.

10:45.920 --> 10:48.680
And yet at the same time,
it's like you do have to be careful

10:48.760 --> 10:50.839
because a lot of people just go into it.

10:50.920 --> 10:53.160
But, of course, health, uh,

10:53.240 --> 10:56.280

et cetera.

10:56.360 --> 10:58.839
-So, yes, it's about--
-I'm aware of this.

10:58.920 --> 10:59.959
[Adan] Yes, you are.

[romantic music playing]

11:06.320 --> 11:08.800
This dinner's gonna be great,
but what I have planned next?

11:08.880 --> 11:10.640
-You're gonna love.
-[Dani chuckles]

11:14.199 --> 11:17.360
-It's so beautiful to see the lights.
-[Adan] Mm-hmm.

11:17.440 --> 11:18.600
As the sun sets.

11:19.719 --> 11:20.600
[Adan] Yep.

11:21.600 --> 11:23.800
Reflecting this year on our relationship,

11:23.880 --> 11:26.360
we've definitely come a long way
from friends

11:26.440 --> 11:29.240
to then becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

11:29.320 --> 11:31.760
We definitely got to spend more time,
and I'm happy about that.

11:31.839 --> 11:33.480
So how do you feel it's been going?

11:33.560 --> 11:35.640
Well, I…

11:36.320 --> 11:38.000
Well, for me,

11:38.079 --> 11:40.520
just remaining a little speechless.
I'm just, um…

11:42.640 --> 11:43.800
definitely am so excited

11:43.880 --> 11:46.560
and looking forward
to what's gonna happen next.

When it comes to relationships,
there are always gonna be problems.

11:58.199 --> 12:01.480
The taco of success
always drips with the salsa of failure

12:02.560 --> 12:06.320
because failure is
what makes us grow stronger.

12:07.440 --> 12:08.600
Adan,

12:09.440 --> 12:11.120
I've got another surprise for you.

12:11.199 --> 12:12.440
Have you now?

12:13.520 --> 12:16.040
Maybe one of my OCs would love it.

Oh my gosh. Okay.

13:23.079 --> 13:26.400
Yeah, I mean, I'd like to keep it
to the mouth, please. But I appreciate--

13:26.480 --> 13:29.160
All right, that's fine.
I respect your boundaries.

13:29.240 --> 13:31.160

I know what you were talking about.
But I gotta say this. [chuckles]

-Mm.

[tentative music playing]

15:25.839 --> 15:31.520
Okay, so this morning, I was listening
to Disney princess music on repeat

15:32.040 --> 15:35.079
because I kept thinking,
"I'll find my prince."

15:35.160 --> 15:36.640
"I'll find my prince."

15:36.719 --> 15:37.599
"Someday."

15:37.680 --> 15:39.599
Hopefully, someday is today.

15:44.959 --> 15:46.400
Now it's even.

I'm excited to find out who he is
and what his interests are.

15:50.439 --> 15:53.360
And… and I can't even believe
that I am doing this.

15:53.439 --> 15:54.680
[Cian] Yeah? Why's that?

15:55.319 --> 15:57.439
Because when I was diagnosed at two,

15:57.520 --> 16:01.280
doctors told my parents I would never be
able to speak and attend regular school.

16:01.359 --> 16:05.800
I was involved in every activity,
and, gee, it proved doctors wrong.

16:06.439 --> 16:08.680
Now I'm a success story.

-How are you?

16:17.839 --> 16:19.199
-[Madison] Hey.
-Can I have a hug?

16:19.280 --> 16:21.199
-[Madison] Yes.
-Oh my gosh.

16:21.280 --> 16:23.880
-I'm so happy to see you.
-[Madison] Good to see you.

Mom, hopefully this guy will be my prince.

Oh my gosh.
Well, you know, I was thinking about this.

16:34.959 --> 16:38.959
I think the most important thing is
that you have a really good open mind.

16:39.040 --> 16:43.439
I think you're super happy and acclimated
with all the friends that you've made,

16:43.520 --> 16:47.040
and I think this is the one thing
that… is kind of missing.

16:47.120 --> 16:49.319
Yeah, that's the missing piece
of the puzzle.

16:50.000 --> 16:52.880
[mom] All I've ever wanted for Madison
is to be happy.

16:52.959 --> 16:56.839
When you have a child on the spectrum,
the wins are so huge,

16:56.920 --> 16:58.680
and the losses are so hard.

16:58.760 --> 17:02.359
So can I do your hair like this?
Give you a little volume?

17:02.439 --> 17:03.400
Yes.

17:03.479 --> 17:04.919
[mom] She works so much harder to do

17:05.000 --> 17:07.119

and for granted.

17:07.200 --> 17:09.560
We're super proud
of the connections she's made

17:09.640 --> 17:11.200
with her friends over the years.

17:11.280 --> 17:13.760
But the one thing that she's never had
is a companion.

17:13.839 --> 17:16.640
Let's see. Let me look at you.
Oh, you're beautiful.

17:16.720 --> 17:19.240
For her to be able to meet someone

17:19.319 --> 17:21.440
and connect and find love…

This is her time.

17:22.919 --> 17:24.919

17:25.000 --> 17:27.720

"I wonder who the prince could be."

17:27.800 --> 17:29.080
[mom] Your Prince Charming?

17:29.159 --> 17:32.280
Yes, I wonder if it'll be a Prince Eric
or a Prince Charming

17:32.360 --> 17:35.120
or a Prince Phillip
or, uh, someone like the Beast.

17:36.560 --> 17:38.760
You know what?
What if it's a combination of all of them?

17:38.840 --> 17:40.520
Yeah, life is not a Disney movie.

17:40.600 --> 17:41.880
It's not a Disney movie.

17:44.440 --> 17:47.800
-Are you all set? Is there anything else?
-[Madison] No, that's it.

17:47.880 --> 17:50.520
[mom] All right.
I think you're all ready to go.

17:55.840 --> 17:57.919
My mom recently came up with the idea

17:58.000 --> 18:02.480
that we should build a guesthouse
in our backyard for me.

18:02.560 --> 18:03.800
Somewhere to…

18:04.520 --> 18:07.080
where my partner could visit me
after a date.

18:07.600 --> 18:10.200

You think you'll have rules
in your guesthouse?

18:24.399 --> 18:28.000
Yes, I will have
a very strict set of rules.

Are you gonna take Coco with you?

18:31.159 --> 18:33.800
Well, I mean,
I wouldn't wanna be lonely. I mean…

18:33.880 --> 18:37.200
Mom, I know you love her,
but there comes a time

18:37.280 --> 18:40.600
when life boils down to a few options.

18:40.679 --> 18:42.679
This is now one of those moments.

18:42.760 --> 18:45.120
I think we should let Coco decide.

18:46.159 --> 18:50.040
If Coco walks over to me,
then she'll choose to live with me.

18:50.120 --> 18:52.640
She walks over to you, she'll stay here.

18:52.720 --> 18:54.440
Does she know the gravity of this moment?

18:54.520 --> 18:56.720
-[Connor] I don't know. Coco…
-[Anna] She might not.

18:56.800 --> 19:00.399
I'm sorry to do this to you, girl,
but it's time to choose.

19:01.440 --> 19:03.399

-[Lise] Coco. Coco. Coco.

19:06.919 --> 19:08.679
-Coco. Coco.
-Oh, Coco.

19:08.760 --> 19:12.080
-Oh, don't… don't toy with us.
-Coco. Oh, Coco.

19:12.159 --> 19:14.919
-Coco. [giggles]
-[Connor] Come on, Coco. Come here.

19:15.000 --> 19:18.360
I am sorry,
but the gods have made known their will.

-[Lise gasps] Oh!
-[Jack chuckles]

19:20.520 --> 19:24.080
-[Lise] I am freaking out…
-[Anna] She didn't even, like, waver.

19:24.159 --> 19:26.360
Coco, congratulations.

19:26.440 --> 19:28.880
You're coming to Falcon's Perch with me.

19:28.960 --> 19:31.240
Once it's built, of course.

19:31.320 --> 19:34.760
-[Lise] I am a loser in Coco's heart.
-[Connor] She chose me.

19:34.840 --> 19:38.000
-Stop looking at me. It's over between us.
-[Coco whimpers]

19:40.080 --> 19:42.200
-[Lise] Saucy little traitor.

19:42.720 --> 19:44.040
Connor, how was your date?

19:44.120 --> 19:45.240
[Connor] It was good.

19:45.320 --> 19:50.360
Uh, she is nice, but she does live
quite a ways from here, so…

19:50.440 --> 19:53.440
Yeah. Well, you know what?
I'm glad you met Kate,

19:53.520 --> 19:57.560
and what you did identify is
"I want someone who lives near me."

19:57.640 --> 20:00.679
So if Nashville is a bit far for you,
do you have, like, a limit

20:00.760 --> 20:04.880
of where you would want someone to be
or how far from you they'd live?

20:04.960 --> 20:06.600
A few minutes or…

20:06.679 --> 20:08.159
[Lise] I think an hour or so.

20:08.240 --> 20:09.840
[Anna] You have us to give you rides.

20:09.919 --> 20:13.320
Yeah, we can, totally. There's Uber
and Lyft. You'd be able to use those.

20:13.840 --> 20:16.520
-Expensive and unreliable.
-[chuckles]

20:17.800 --> 20:22.919
-Well, maybe we take on learning to drive.
-Yeah. Might be slightly cheaper.

20:23.600 --> 20:27.159
-I don't know. Car payments, insurance…
-[Connor] Yeah, I don't know.

20:27.240 --> 20:30.800
And of course, house insurance
if I ever get my guesthouse.

20:31.320 --> 20:33.640
It's called adulting, man. Welcome to it.

20:33.720 --> 20:35.159
It'll bleed me dry.

20:35.240 --> 20:37.800
I'll… I'll be bankrupt
right into the ground.

20:37.880 --> 20:40.800
I can't afford any of that.

20:40.880 --> 20:44.360
Connor, that's very extreme.
We don't need to go zero to 60.

20:44.440 --> 20:46.120
[Connor] I'm being realistic.

20:46.200 --> 20:49.679
[Lise] Just relax. Nobody's gonna let you
go bankrupt into the ground.

20:49.760 --> 20:52.919
We will handle your finances just fine.

20:53.000 --> 20:56.120
You can have your guesthouse,
maybe learn to drive and have a car,

20:56.200 --> 20:57.200
and guess what?

20:57.280 --> 20:59.159
Still have some money to do things.

20:59.240 --> 21:00.440
Take people on dates.

21:01.280 --> 21:03.280
-Yeah.
-[Lise] And pick up the check.

21:03.880 --> 21:04.919
[Connor] But know this.

21:05.000 --> 21:10.159
If the check demands a tip,
I never pay any higher than $5.

21:10.240 --> 21:11.320
[Anna] What?

21:11.399 --> 21:14.640
-[Jack] It's 20%…
-Connor, you tip people $5?

21:14.720 --> 21:18.520
Do you understand that waitresses
and waiters don't make a lot of money?

21:18.600 --> 21:22.600
That if you got great service
and you gave someone $5, that's an insult.

21:22.679 --> 21:23.760
[Connor scoffs]

21:23.840 --> 21:25.360
What you call an insult,

21:25.440 --> 21:27.320
I call luck.

21:27.399 --> 21:28.720
[Anna] Well… [chuckles]

21:29.399 --> 21:34.399
But I was actually hoping to one day
maybe work myself toward riches.

21:34.480 --> 21:38.720
That's fine. But you have to be
a decent human along the way, okay?

21:38.800 --> 21:42.080
Do you know
what making sacrifices gets you?

21:42.159 --> 21:44.320
A kick in the head and a spit in the face.

21:44.399 --> 21:48.280
I don't know who burned you
at your ripe old age of 25,

21:48.360 --> 21:50.000
living a really nice life.

21:50.080 --> 21:53.679
I don't know who made you this salty.
But you need to take a few steps back.

21:53.760 --> 21:55.240
You're being very pessimistic.

21:56.120 --> 21:58.399
[chuckles] So what am I supposed to do?

21:58.480 --> 22:03.200
Walk around with a cross around my neck
wearing holy robes?

22:03.280 --> 22:04.800
Shave my head?

22:04.880 --> 22:07.040
Guess what? That's extreme over here.

22:07.120 --> 22:09.280
You're talking about being here.
Guess what?

22:09.360 --> 22:12.200
There's a lot of gray,
and there's a lot of middle area.

22:12.280 --> 22:14.640
I know you are uncomfortable with gray.

22:14.720 --> 22:17.280
You don't need to be here,
and you don't need to be here.

22:17.360 --> 22:18.919
-You can live here.
-Yeah.

22:19.000 --> 22:21.480
[Lise] You're just thrown
because you didn't know something.

22:21.560 --> 22:24.439
Tomorrow morning, I bet a million dollars

22:24.520 --> 22:27.040
you're gonna wake up and you're gonna say,

22:27.120 --> 22:30.000
"Jeez, Mom, I thought about that,
and you're right about the tipping."

22:30.080 --> 22:32.120
-That's how this goes.
-But I know this for a fact.

22:32.200 --> 22:34.919
-[Lise] What's that?
-You don't have a million dollars.

22:35.000 --> 22:37.520
From now on,
do not make promises like that

22:37.600 --> 22:39.399
unless you actually intend…

22:39.480 --> 22:40.640
Do not say--

22:40.720 --> 22:43.000
-[Anna] It's an expression, I think.
-It's a joke.

22:43.080 --> 22:44.880
[scoffs] It's not funny.

22:44.960 --> 22:49.399
Listen, I'm picking up
that you are really intense today.

22:49.480 --> 22:50.560
What… Are you okay?

22:50.640 --> 22:53.200
-I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
-Okay. Okay.

22:53.280 --> 22:57.080
-Why are you guys always up till midnight?
-[Lise gasps]

22:57.840 --> 23:00.800
-Yeah.
-Oh, was there too much noise down here?

23:00.880 --> 23:03.439
Is sleep a foreign concept?

23:03.520 --> 23:06.679
Here's the thing.
I think this is all the more reason

23:06.760 --> 23:09.000
we really need to focus on
your guesthouse.

23:09.080 --> 23:11.600
Our family sigil is three falcons,

23:11.679 --> 23:15.800
and it's time for this little falcon
to fly the coop.

23:19.040 --> 23:21.320
[Cian] What are you nervous about
when it comes to dating?

23:21.399 --> 23:23.640
I would say I'm nervous
about being rejected,

23:23.720 --> 23:26.560
if it's a…
especially if it's a guy that I like.

23:26.640 --> 23:29.040
[Cian] Yeah. Are you a romantic person?

23:29.760 --> 23:32.120
Once I find the right person, I will be.

23:32.640 --> 23:34.720
[sweet, suspenseful music playing]

23:37.800 --> 23:39.480
[narrator] At the St. Pete Pier,

23:39.560 --> 23:42.640
Madison is waiting for her date to arrive.

23:42.720 --> 23:44.560
[Cian] How are you feeling, Madison?

23:44.640 --> 23:46.040
Excited to meet him.

23:46.120 --> 23:49.080
Except I'm probably gonna order
something off the kids' menu

23:49.159 --> 23:50.439
'cause I'm a picky eater.

23:52.240 --> 23:53.679
I don't like salad.

23:54.640 --> 23:57.560
I wonder if my friends will like him.
I wonder if my family will like him.

23:57.640 --> 23:59.120
This is a big day.

24:01.640 --> 24:03.760
[narrator] Madison is meeting Brandon.

24:04.280 --> 24:08.120
He likes kangaroo pouches
and massage chairs.

24:08.200 --> 24:09.360
[chair rattling]

24:09.439 --> 24:13.679
He doesn't like wobbly tables
or touching fish.

24:16.560 --> 24:18.320
-Hello.
-[Brandon] Uh.

24:18.399 --> 24:20.520
-Are you my date?
-Yeah, I'm your date.

24:20.600 --> 24:23.600
-I'm Madison. Nice to meet you.
-Mm. Nice to meet you too.

24:23.679 --> 24:25.679
-What's your name?
-My name's Brandon.

24:25.760 --> 24:27.320
Brandon, that's my dad's name.

24:27.399 --> 24:29.679
Ah, yeah, that's… no, that's nice.

24:30.280 --> 24:32.439
Yeah. Where are you from?

24:32.520 --> 24:34.200
I'm from Florida.

24:34.800 --> 24:38.120
-Yeah? What city in Florida?
-Uh, Ocala.

24:38.200 --> 24:39.640
-Ocala?
-Yeah.

24:39.720 --> 24:42.040
-That's in Northern Florida.
-Yeah.

24:42.120 --> 24:45.760
-I'm from right here in St. Pete's.
-Ah, yeah, that's nice.

24:46.640 --> 24:50.120
-So I made you a little something.
-Oh, that's… that's nice.

24:50.200 --> 24:52.240
[Madison] Because I'm originally from
the Boston area,

24:52.320 --> 24:53.880
and it's the Boston sports teams.

24:53.960 --> 24:55.120
Yeah, cool.

24:57.919 --> 25:01.600
So, um… do you have any interests?

25:01.679 --> 25:06.360
Yes. I love to… I love to make jewelry.
I made all my bracelets.

25:06.439 --> 25:07.720
Oh, yeah.

25:10.199 --> 25:12.840
And what are some things you're into?

25:12.919 --> 25:16.040
I'm into making animated cartoons.

25:16.560 --> 25:18.520
Do you like cartoons and animation?

25:19.040 --> 25:22.280
Yes, I love cartoons and animation.
I love the classic cartoons.

25:22.360 --> 25:25.040
Oh yeah,
I love the classic cartoons as well.

25:25.560 --> 25:29.280
Like, you can't go wrong with Looney Tunes
or Flintstones or Scooby-Doo.

25:29.360 --> 25:30.720
[chuckles] Yeah.

25:32.000 --> 25:34.199
-[Cian] Brandon, are you okay?
-Uh, yeah.

25:34.720 --> 25:36.040
Just a little nervous.

25:36.560 --> 25:38.000
Yeah, I'm not nervous at all.

25:38.080 --> 25:41.880
Yeah, I'm a really nervous coward.
[chuckles] Yeah.

25:42.679 --> 25:43.520
Yes.

25:44.280 --> 25:48.240
So, um… uh,
do you go to school or something?

25:48.320 --> 25:49.840
-I'm out of school.
-Oh.

25:49.919 --> 25:54.320
-What do you do for work?
-I work for a company that teaches…

25:54.399 --> 25:58.399
uh, that aids in helping
young adults with autism.

25:58.480 --> 26:01.360
Oh my God, really? I have a passion
for helping kids with autism.

26:01.439 --> 26:02.280
Yeah.

26:02.360 --> 26:04.679
Like, one… one of my interests
is going to church.

26:04.760 --> 26:07.159
That's a big part of my life,
where I've met all my friends.

26:07.240 --> 26:09.679
-Yeah.
-Does that interest you at all?

26:09.760 --> 26:10.800
Um…

26:10.880 --> 26:13.280
I'm usually interested in going to gyms

26:13.360 --> 26:16.399
and often going to walk around
at the mall.

26:17.000 --> 26:20.919
Uh, and… and I like,
uh, sitting at those massage chairs.

26:21.000 --> 26:22.439
-[Madison] Yeah.
-[child screams]

26:24.120 --> 26:25.439
I'm getting distracted

26:25.520 --> 26:28.480
'cause of the few noises
in the background.

26:28.560 --> 26:29.399
[baby crying]

26:29.480 --> 26:31.720
[Cian] Brandon, it's a bit noisier
than we expected.

26:31.800 --> 26:33.960
Let us know
if you wanna move outside, okay?

26:34.040 --> 26:34.880
Okay.

26:34.960 --> 26:40.280
Yeah, so you're not really big into,
like, social stuff, I'm guessing.

26:40.360 --> 26:42.320
-Right.
-Have you been to Disney World?

26:42.399 --> 26:46.120
Yeah, I've been to Disney World
at least a couple of times as a kid.

26:46.199 --> 26:49.000
Yes. Like, what is
your favorite Disney movie?

26:49.560 --> 26:51.960
Um, I don't have
a favorite Disney movie, really.

26:55.040 --> 26:57.159
And what is your favorite Disney ride?

26:57.679 --> 26:59.520
I don't have a favorite Disney ride.

27:00.880 --> 27:03.480
-Yes.
-Uh-huh.

27:03.560 --> 27:05.600
-[server] Hello. How are we doing today?
-How are you?

27:05.679 --> 27:07.760
-We're doing good.
-Very good.

27:07.840 --> 27:11.000
Question. When you put your head down,
is that a type of stim you do?

27:11.080 --> 27:13.240
Uh… yeah, 'cause I'm nervous.

27:13.320 --> 27:15.760
I usually crouch down like this, uh,

27:15.840 --> 27:18.120
to avoid being surrounded by other people.

27:18.199 --> 27:20.600
Like, I have this chair right here
to guard me.

27:22.640 --> 27:24.320
-[muttering silently]
-[child squeals]

27:25.280 --> 27:27.159
-[Brandon] Thanks. Yeah.
-[server] Of course.

27:30.600 --> 27:32.080
Do you like soda at all?

27:32.159 --> 27:33.960
Yeah, I love soda.

27:34.040 --> 27:36.080
Coke. I'm a Coke addict.

27:38.520 --> 27:41.159
My favorite holiday ever is Christmas.

27:41.240 --> 27:43.120
I also love Christmas.

27:43.199 --> 27:45.159
[Madison] Yeah?
What do you love about Christmas?

27:45.240 --> 27:46.840
Getting gifts.

27:46.919 --> 27:49.600
I love decorating is the best part.

27:49.679 --> 27:51.720
So are you into decorating at all?

27:51.800 --> 27:53.000
Hmm. Not really.

27:56.800 --> 27:59.199
[Cian] Brandon,
just wanna make sure you're okay.

27:59.280 --> 28:01.399
Kind of getting
a little bit uncomfortable.

28:01.480 --> 28:04.640
Just afraid how
the noise may probably grow,

28:04.720 --> 28:07.679
and then something unexpected
might happen,

28:07.760 --> 28:09.240
and then I'd be scared.

28:10.000 --> 28:14.080
We could always find another table
if he gets too overstimulated.

28:14.159 --> 28:16.480
[Cian] We'll see if we can find
a table somewhere quieter.

28:16.560 --> 28:17.399
Okay.

28:18.080 --> 28:19.399
[Madison mutters quietly]

28:22.520 --> 28:24.800
-[Brandon] Yeah.
-[Madison sighs]

28:28.159 --> 28:30.240
[Cian] What are your thoughts on Brandon?

28:30.320 --> 28:34.159
He… he's not as outgoing as I am,
which is a challenge.

28:34.240 --> 28:35.800
He's a nice guy though.

28:41.640 --> 28:42.640
Got this.

28:44.959 --> 28:46.959
[Cian] Brandon, is this a good spot?

28:47.800 --> 28:48.959
Are you happy here?

28:52.120 --> 28:54.159
[intriguing music playing]

28:57.120 --> 28:59.199
-[Cian] Oh, well, hello.
-Hi, Cian.

28:59.280 --> 29:03.439
My name is Tanner, and I'm 25,
and I'm still looking for love.

29:03.959 --> 29:05.399
[Cian] It's good to see you again.

29:05.480 --> 29:08.520
It's good to… it's good
to see you again too. I missed you.

29:08.600 --> 29:12.360
[Cian] Oh, I miss… we missed you too.
Are you happy to be back?

29:12.439 --> 29:16.520
Yes, sir. Hey, I'm glad we're doing this
'cause this thing is cool and unique.

29:16.600 --> 29:18.199
[Cian] Know what else is cool and unique?

29:18.280 --> 29:19.159
-Tell me.
-Tanner.

29:19.240 --> 29:22.800
That's right. So are you, Cian,
and you, Dave, and we're all unique.

29:22.879 --> 29:25.520
[Cian] That's true.
What's been happening in your dating life?

29:25.600 --> 29:27.360
Have you been on any dates lately?

29:28.159 --> 29:29.840
I have not. No, I have not.

29:29.919 --> 29:32.240
-[Cian] You went on a couple with Kate.
-Yeah.

29:32.320 --> 29:34.639
[Cian] So tell me what's happened
with Kate since then.

29:35.159 --> 29:36.040
So, I mean, Kate,

29:36.120 --> 29:38.360
she's become my good friend,
she's become my good friend,

29:38.439 --> 29:39.840
and we're still texting each other.

29:39.919 --> 29:42.560
[Cian] I heard she might have asked you
to be her boyfriend.

29:42.639 --> 29:45.879
-Um… she… she did. She did.
-[Cian] And then what did you say?

29:45.959 --> 29:48.480
Hey, this… Hey… hey,
this won't hurt your feelings

29:48.560 --> 29:52.040
if I… if I be honest, will you, Cian?
I just wanna make sure it won't…

29:52.120 --> 29:54.919
-[Cian] No, I want you to be honest.
-Okay, I said, "No."

29:55.439 --> 29:57.040
[whimsical music playing]

29:58.320 --> 30:02.480
[narrator] Tanner lives independently
in Clemson, South Carolina.

30:02.560 --> 30:04.800
[chickens clucking on phone]

30:06.879 --> 30:08.800
[Cian] You watching
something interesting, Tanner?

30:08.879 --> 30:10.439
Yes, sir, I'm looking at chickens.

30:10.520 --> 30:12.280
[clucking]

30:15.840 --> 30:16.879
[Cian] You like chickens?

30:16.959 --> 30:19.159
Yeah, I do like chickens
'cause I like birds.

30:19.760 --> 30:23.520
Because they fly. It's so cool
that they have two legs like us.

30:23.600 --> 30:24.800
[clucking]

30:24.879 --> 30:27.760
-[Cian] Do you like eating them too?
-Yes, sir, I like eating them too.

30:27.840 --> 30:29.000
[crowing]

30:31.320 --> 30:33.320
All right, you want to get a pizza to eat?

30:33.399 --> 30:34.320
Uh, yeah.

30:37.439 --> 30:38.280
Sweet.

30:38.840 --> 30:40.800
[upbeat music playing]

30:42.320 --> 30:43.919
[roommate 1] What would you like to buy?

30:46.600 --> 30:48.120
I wanna get a pepperoni pizza.

30:48.199 --> 30:50.959
-I wanna say a meatball pizza.
-That's a good choice.

30:52.240 --> 30:54.560
I'm going on a date
with another girl on Thursday.

30:54.639 --> 30:55.800
That's cool.

30:55.879 --> 30:58.560
This is a blind date.
I don't know what her name is.

30:58.639 --> 31:01.360
I don't know what she looks like.
Do you have a girlfriend?

31:01.439 --> 31:03.919
-[roommate 2] I do.
-Okay, what do you do together?

31:04.000 --> 31:07.959
We're just walking together,
go to the pool, go in the hot tub.

31:08.040 --> 31:09.919
-[Tanner] In the hot tub.
-Just gonna have fun.

31:10.000 --> 31:11.639
Yeah, that… that's cool.

31:11.720 --> 31:13.199
Yeah, it is cool for me.

31:17.720 --> 31:18.919
[server] Here y'all go.

31:19.000 --> 31:20.919
[Tanner] What do you call
cheese that's not yours?

31:21.000 --> 31:21.919
Nacho cheese.

31:22.000 --> 31:23.480
Nacho cheese.

31:23.560 --> 31:26.159
Frankie, how long have you
and your girlfriend been dating?

31:26.240 --> 31:27.320
Like, three days.

31:27.399 --> 31:29.919
That's cool.
Do you like having a girlfriend?

31:30.000 --> 31:32.000
-[Frankie] Yes, I do.
-[Tanner] Why?

31:32.080 --> 31:33.320
Because she's beautiful.

31:33.399 --> 31:35.600
That a good reason.
That's a good reason why.

31:35.679 --> 31:37.399
And I… and I love her.

31:37.480 --> 31:38.840
-I'm glad you love her.
-Aw!

31:38.919 --> 31:40.840
Yeah. [chuckles]

31:40.919 --> 31:43.240
Was it something, uh,
you… you loved in your body?

31:44.120 --> 31:46.080
Because I kind of like her.

31:46.159 --> 31:48.639
-Is she a Christian?
-She's a wonderful person.

31:48.720 --> 31:49.919
Is she very talkative?

31:50.000 --> 31:53.000
-Sometimes, yes.
-I… I want a talkative girlfriend too.

31:53.080 --> 31:54.480
Okay.

31:54.560 --> 31:58.480
And I want a girlfriend who's a Christian.
And I want her to be a party animal.

31:58.560 --> 32:00.800
Be respectful.

32:00.879 --> 32:03.600
-Oh yeah, I want her to be respectful too.
-Yeah.

32:03.679 --> 32:07.240
I don't care what color eyes
and I don't care what color hair she has.

32:07.320 --> 32:08.840
And what color is she?

32:09.360 --> 32:11.240
I don't care if she's white or Black.

32:11.320 --> 32:12.439
That's fine with me.

32:12.959 --> 32:15.560
-Would you go on a double date with me?
-[Frankie] Yeah.

32:15.639 --> 32:17.000
Okay, I'm glad. I'm glad.

32:17.080 --> 32:21.199
-All right. High five to the date.
-Thank you.

32:21.280 --> 32:23.159
-Good luck, buddy.
-Thank you.

32:23.240 --> 32:24.919
[all] Yay!

32:26.439 --> 32:28.520
[jaunty music playing]

32:29.679 --> 32:31.000
[narrator] At Connor's house…

32:31.080 --> 32:33.120
[Jack] What would you like to wear
on your date?

32:33.199 --> 32:35.360
-That one.
-This one? Okay, sounds good.

32:35.439 --> 32:38.840
…he's getting ready to step out on a date
with someone new.

32:39.360 --> 32:40.800
[boy] Looking good. Very nice.

32:40.879 --> 32:43.560
-Look good. Look fresh.
-I'm actually feeling pretty dapper.

32:43.639 --> 32:45.959
-You look it.
-[Lise] You're looking pretty dapper.

32:46.040 --> 32:48.080
[Cian] By the way, Connor, who's this?

32:48.159 --> 32:50.760
[Connor] Uh,
this is my other brother, Ben.

32:50.840 --> 32:53.240
He's pretty smart
and experienced in dating.

32:53.320 --> 32:54.280
Thank you.

32:54.360 --> 32:56.919
What are you hoping for today
when you meet her?

32:57.000 --> 33:00.600
Put simply, I'm hoping for sparks.

33:01.159 --> 33:03.719
If she's brunette, you have a great date,

33:03.800 --> 33:06.600
and there's the sparks, sweaty palms,

33:06.679 --> 33:10.320
you're gonna hold her hand,
try to give her a kiss?

33:10.399 --> 33:13.320
[Connor sighs] Mom, come on.
I'm already feeling nervous as it is.

33:13.399 --> 33:14.840
Okay, I'm not trying to…

33:14.919 --> 33:18.520
A first date, you can keep it tame.
Remember the tier system, Connor?

33:18.600 --> 33:21.879
-[Connor] Yes, the tier system.
-So tier 15, what's the deal with that?

33:21.959 --> 33:25.159
That's, uh, the birds and the bees.

33:25.240 --> 33:26.360
What do we do with it?

33:26.439 --> 33:30.719
Stay away from it.
We stay away from it. Don't do tier 15.

33:30.800 --> 33:32.399
And so what are tiers one and two?

33:32.480 --> 33:34.919
Tier one is hugging, tier two is kissing.

33:35.000 --> 33:36.879
[Cian] So what are tiers three,
four, five, six…?

33:36.959 --> 33:39.520
-[Lise] That's what we wanna know.
-That's what I wanna know.

33:39.600 --> 33:41.159
[Lise giggling]

33:41.240 --> 33:45.719
Honestly, Connor, I feel like if there are
sparks flying from… from both sides…

33:45.800 --> 33:46.840
[Connor sighs]

33:46.919 --> 33:48.639
…you will almost be able to feel that.

33:48.719 --> 33:52.879
Basically, it'd be like the same way
a rider bonds with a dragon.

33:53.560 --> 33:54.760
-What… what's that?
-Yeah.

33:55.360 --> 33:57.719
[Lise] I remember when I first met Tony.

33:57.800 --> 34:01.639
You went up to Tony and told him
to stay away from tier 15 with me.

34:01.719 --> 34:04.639
-Yeah.
-[Lise] You told him that several times.

34:04.719 --> 34:06.679
[sighs] I guess some foolish part of me

34:06.760 --> 34:09.480
was still hoping
you and Dad might get back together,

34:09.560 --> 34:11.480
but now I know better.

34:11.560 --> 34:14.159
-Yeah. Everything worked out.
-And Tony's awesome!

34:14.239 --> 34:17.239
Yeah, it all worked out.
Let's talk about kids.

34:17.319 --> 34:19.920
I've actually never…
I've never truly asked you that.

34:20.000 --> 34:24.280
Ah, yes, I know. I know.
Children are no picnic. They're expensive.

34:24.360 --> 34:25.400
Do you want kids?

34:25.480 --> 34:27.480
Do you know what? Yes.

34:27.560 --> 34:30.040
Very much yes.
I would one day want to have a child,

34:30.120 --> 34:32.600
and damn the expense!

34:33.120 --> 34:34.520
I have a question for you.

34:34.600 --> 34:36.679
If you met this woman, you loved her,

34:36.760 --> 34:39.080
you… she… you find out
she can't have children.

34:39.159 --> 34:42.040
Or worse, what if I can't have children?

34:42.120 --> 34:43.600
-[Lise] That happens.
-[Ben] There.

34:43.679 --> 34:47.719
It would make me very sad
if I couldn't have children.

34:47.799 --> 34:52.239
I'd wanna go to a fertility clinic
and have my sperm checked.

34:52.319 --> 34:55.799
-I think we are way ahead of ourselves.
-I think you're okay, Connor.

34:55.880 --> 34:57.880
How about we go to tier one
and hug somebody?

34:57.960 --> 35:01.680
-Yeah. Don't do tier 15. [chuckles]
-[Ben] But don't do 15…

35:01.760 --> 35:03.080
[Ben] What's the plan?

35:03.160 --> 35:06.960
The plan is play croquet, have fun.

35:07.040 --> 35:09.880
-And…and, uh, hopefully tier one.
-[Ben] Good stuff.

35:09.960 --> 35:12.720
[Lise] All right. Let me have a hug.
Let me have a tier one.

35:12.799 --> 35:15.520
-Oh, all right.
-All right.

35:15.600 --> 35:17.680
Have a good time. I want you to have fun.

35:17.760 --> 35:19.240
-[Ben] See ya, Connor.
-See ya.

35:19.319 --> 35:20.600
Show no mercy.

35:20.680 --> 35:22.520
-I never do.
-Okay.

35:22.600 --> 35:25.799
-[Jack] Have a good one. Have fun.
-[Lise] Have fun, bud. See you later.

35:29.040 --> 35:30.200
[Coco whimpers]

35:30.280 --> 35:32.440
[duck quacking]

35:34.839 --> 35:36.600
What a lovely day.

35:36.680 --> 35:39.000
-[sweet, suspenseful music playing]
-Uh…

35:46.600 --> 35:48.600
[narrator] Connor is meeting Georgie.

35:49.120 --> 35:53.560
She likes bird watching
and eating competitions.

35:54.080 --> 35:56.480
She doesn't like croutons

35:56.560 --> 35:59.560
or people watching loud videos in public.

36:01.720 --> 36:02.600
[Connor] Uh…

36:04.000 --> 36:05.200
-Oh.
-[Georgie] Hello.

36:05.280 --> 36:06.280
Hello.

36:06.360 --> 36:08.880
-I'm Georgie.
-Hi, I'm Connor.

36:08.960 --> 36:10.600
[both] Nice to meet you. [chuckling]

36:10.680 --> 36:12.520
-Oh, sorry.
-No, it's fine.

36:12.600 --> 36:15.400
We said it at the same time.
That was a bit awkward.

36:15.480 --> 36:16.880
I have four siblings.

36:16.960 --> 36:20.080
-So I'm used to talking over.
-Oh, I…

36:20.160 --> 36:24.120
[Connor] What a crazy coincidence.
I have three younger siblings of my own,

36:24.200 --> 36:27.839
and sometimes I could shout
and nobody hears me.

36:27.920 --> 36:30.240
I feel the same way. I'm the oldest.

36:30.319 --> 36:32.480
Well, that's something we have in common.

36:33.160 --> 36:34.040
Um…

36:37.000 --> 36:39.240
You wanna find somewhere shady?

36:39.760 --> 36:40.880
Yeah, that would--

36:40.960 --> 36:42.400
Yes, I believe I would.

36:42.480 --> 36:43.920
Perhaps there.

36:44.000 --> 36:45.640
-Okay.
-After you.

36:45.720 --> 36:46.640
Thank you.

36:48.640 --> 36:50.319
[Connor] Oh, hey, look! There's a gazebo.

36:50.400 --> 36:54.160
[Georgie] That looks like a good place
to stay cool for a while.

36:55.120 --> 36:57.359
Yeah. You know, Georgie,
when I was younger,

36:57.440 --> 37:00.400
my father used to take me
and my siblings to this place,

37:00.480 --> 37:02.040
and we'd throw bread to the ducks.

37:02.120 --> 37:04.000
[Georgie] Really? I love ducks.

37:04.080 --> 37:06.280
-[Connor] Me too. Ducks and turtles.
-[Georgie] Turtles!

37:06.359 --> 37:10.120
Oh, look. That one's looking at us. Hello!

37:10.640 --> 37:13.640
-They're freshwater turtles.
-[Georgie] What are they doing?

37:13.720 --> 37:17.440
What you're looking at, Georgie,
is mutualistic symbiosis.

37:18.480 --> 37:22.080
It's a kind of symbiotic relationship
that benefits both life forms.

37:22.160 --> 37:26.240
For example, that turtle
is eating moss off that other turtle.

37:26.319 --> 37:27.920
-[Georgie] Aw, that's sweet.
-It'll both…

37:28.000 --> 37:30.520
It'll both clean
the receiving turtle's shell,

37:30.600 --> 37:33.560
while at the same time
fill the other turtle's belly.

37:33.640 --> 37:34.480
Everyone wins.

37:34.560 --> 37:36.160
[Georgie] That's awesome.

37:38.359 --> 37:40.560
Look, they look like they're kissing.

37:40.640 --> 37:41.720
[Connor] Kissing?

37:41.799 --> 37:45.319
That is preposterous.
Turtles don't have lips. They have beaks.

37:45.400 --> 37:47.319
[chuckles] Yeah.

37:47.839 --> 37:50.240
[quacking angrily]

37:50.920 --> 37:53.720
-[Connor] What's with the aggression?
-[Georgie] That poor duck.

37:53.799 --> 37:56.680
[Connor] Wait. Wait, it's not… Is it?

37:56.760 --> 37:57.640
[Georgie] What?

37:57.720 --> 38:01.640
[Connor] Do you think it's… mating season?
Oh God. Cover your eyes.

38:02.160 --> 38:05.680
Well, thankfully, you'll never see me
doing that to a woman.

38:05.760 --> 38:06.760
Ever.

38:07.280 --> 38:09.440
No, I know better.

38:12.799 --> 38:14.760
[sweet, intriguing music playing]

38:16.280 --> 38:19.240
[narrator] It's been a week
since James went speed dating,

38:19.799 --> 38:22.000
and he's catching up
with his brother, William.

38:22.520 --> 38:24.880
-[William] How's it going?
-Oh, yes. Hello. How are you doing?

38:24.960 --> 38:27.520
-Good. Good seeing you.
-Oh, yes, of course. Of course.

38:27.600 --> 38:29.359
-How was work today?
-Not bad!

38:29.440 --> 38:31.240
Good. Glad to hear that, yes.

38:31.319 --> 38:33.720
My day…
Here, grabbed a lemonade for us as well.

38:33.799 --> 38:35.200
Oh, thank you very much.

38:35.280 --> 38:37.720
-Cheers. Good seeing you.
-Oh, yes, of course. Thank you.

38:38.359 --> 38:40.080
-[William] How was your day?
-Oh, just fine.

38:40.160 --> 38:42.600
Nothing out of the ordinary.
That's how I prefer it to be.

38:42.680 --> 38:46.200
-Tell me about this past weekend.
-Oh, yes. I went to a speed dating event.

38:46.280 --> 38:47.120
-Nice.
-Yes.

38:47.200 --> 38:49.600
Unfortunately, I did not have any matches.

38:49.680 --> 38:53.799
I mean, it's okay. Speed dating is…
It's gotta be hard, you know?

38:53.880 --> 38:56.080
Several of the women
wished to have children.

38:56.160 --> 39:00.120
Let me see. I think a few of the women
had pets of some species.

39:00.200 --> 39:03.400
[chuckling] Some species!
Was it an instant no?

39:03.480 --> 39:07.400
Uh, I don't quite remember
the exact words I said, unfortunately,

39:07.480 --> 39:10.280
but I tried to keep positive
by saying if I did keep pets,

39:10.359 --> 39:11.799
I'd prefer cats over dogs.

39:11.880 --> 39:12.960
-Okay.
-But, you know…

39:13.040 --> 39:15.760
[William] That is a good way
of answering that question.

39:15.839 --> 39:19.240
So have there been things
that, like, you have been noticing…

39:19.319 --> 39:20.200
[James yawns]

39:20.280 --> 39:22.319
…that, "Hey,
maybe I should do this differently"?

39:22.400 --> 39:24.960
-Nice yawn. [chuckles]
-I am the common factor.

39:25.040 --> 39:28.080
That suggests I'm doing something wrong,
but mom and dad told me…

39:28.160 --> 39:30.799
said I should be more positive.
It might just be bad luck.

39:30.880 --> 39:33.799
I don't wanna contemplate the idea
that I did anything wrong, you know?

39:33.880 --> 39:37.280
Oh, agreed. Because you don't wanna
change yourself, but at the same time,

39:37.359 --> 39:41.040
it could be more of a fishing
in the correct pond type of thing.

39:41.120 --> 39:42.359
Oh, I hope so. I…

39:42.440 --> 39:45.839
[William] Maybe speed dating
isn't for you. Try other things.

39:45.920 --> 39:47.960
-I'll have to try something else. Mm. Yes.
-Yeah.

39:48.040 --> 39:50.600
Well, how about your, uh,
your Instagram following?

39:50.680 --> 39:52.920
What type of communications
have you been having on there?

39:53.000 --> 39:55.120
I guess I've been interacting
with some women

39:55.200 --> 39:57.319
who, I don't know,
could possibly be something.

39:57.400 --> 39:59.240
-Sure.
-I don't know. I'll have to wait and see.

39:59.319 --> 40:01.359
[William] One of the nice things
about Instagram

40:01.440 --> 40:04.760
is that if a lady
is reaching out to you proactively,

40:04.839 --> 40:06.839
you know she's probably
already somewhat interested.

40:06.920 --> 40:07.920
Yes, that is good.

40:08.000 --> 40:10.920
[William] Well, I think it's good
that you, uh, bounce back

40:11.000 --> 40:13.839
from the speed dating event
where you didn't get any matches.

40:13.920 --> 40:14.760
Right.

40:14.839 --> 40:18.160
I mean, ultimately, the best piece
of advice, like, legitimately,

40:18.240 --> 40:19.319
is just be yourself.

40:19.839 --> 40:23.799
There's no way you can keep faking
being somebody that you're not.

40:23.880 --> 40:25.240
Oh, no, certainly not.

40:25.319 --> 40:30.000
It's just finding the person that can be
with you when you're at yourself

40:30.080 --> 40:31.839
is just the best thing you can do.

40:31.920 --> 40:32.880
-Exactly, yes.
-So…

40:32.960 --> 40:34.839
My life is pretty good right now.

40:34.920 --> 40:37.000
My life is probably
the best it ever has been.

40:37.080 --> 40:40.640
Trying to find a special person,
you know, with whom I can, you know,

40:40.720 --> 40:44.600
share all the moments of my life
is obviously my top priority right now.

40:44.680 --> 40:47.160
It's pretty much
the only thing I don't have, really.

40:47.240 --> 40:49.280
Yeah. I mean, persistence.
Persistence is key.

40:49.359 --> 40:50.680
Yes, yes.

40:50.760 --> 40:53.280
I'd like to be in a serious relationship
before I'm 40.

40:53.359 --> 40:54.960
You know, that would be nice.

40:55.040 --> 40:57.720
-I'm eager to hear how it goes.
-Of course, absolutely.

40:57.799 --> 41:00.359
-All right. Head out?
-Okay.

41:00.440 --> 41:03.120
[James] Good.
Yes, very good. Very good, then. Mm.

41:03.760 --> 41:05.440
[jaunty music playing]

41:14.319 --> 41:15.880
[Madison] It's nice out here.

41:16.640 --> 41:17.560
[Brandon sighs]

41:20.839 --> 41:21.720
[music fades]

41:22.240 --> 41:25.120
-Are you feeling better out here?
-Yeah, kinda.

41:26.000 --> 41:27.520
What did I have for you?

41:27.600 --> 41:29.680
Like, I… Did you want these still?

41:29.760 --> 41:30.839
Uh, yeah.

41:31.480 --> 41:34.440
Bruins, and I have a…
your… your Patriots one too.

41:34.520 --> 41:35.640
[Brandon] Oh. Yeah.

41:35.720 --> 41:37.240
Thanks for the dolls.

41:38.080 --> 41:39.080
No problem.

41:39.160 --> 41:44.400
Yeah. You know, I used to carry
videotapes and DVDs with me around a lot.

41:44.480 --> 41:47.480
So you collect videotapes and DVDs?

41:47.560 --> 41:49.000
Uh, yeah, yeah.

41:49.080 --> 41:52.200
-Yes, like how I collect dolls.
-[Brandon] Yeah.

41:53.120 --> 41:55.120
Yeah, I tend to collect toys too.

41:55.200 --> 41:56.960
Yeah, what toys do you collect?

41:57.839 --> 42:00.480
I only collect, uh, plush dolls.

42:00.560 --> 42:02.280
Oh my God, me too!

42:02.359 --> 42:03.359
[Brandon] Yeah.

42:04.440 --> 42:06.440
[Madison] What plush dolls are you into?

42:06.520 --> 42:07.480
Care Bears?

42:08.400 --> 42:09.640
[Brandon] Uh…

42:09.720 --> 42:11.600
[chuckling] I'm not into Care Bears.

42:11.680 --> 42:13.240
[Madison] I love Care Bears.

42:14.319 --> 42:16.680
[server] Got that fried shrimp
with sweet fries.

42:16.760 --> 42:17.920
Awesome.

42:18.000 --> 42:19.880
[server] And that cheeseburger for you.

42:19.960 --> 42:21.000
-Thanks.
-[server] Mm-hmm.

42:21.080 --> 42:24.120
Shirley. Anything else
I can grab for you guys?

42:24.200 --> 42:26.359
-Uh, no, thanks.
-[server] No? We're all good?

42:26.440 --> 42:27.920
-Yeah, I'm all good.
-[server] Enjoy.

42:28.000 --> 42:29.440
[uneasy music playing]

42:32.080 --> 42:34.359
Can I put my earbuds back in
while I'm eating?

42:34.440 --> 42:35.839
-[Cian] Sure.
-Okay.

42:36.600 --> 42:38.880
-How does this help you?
-[Brandon] Uh…

42:38.960 --> 42:40.240
The white noise?

42:40.319 --> 42:41.319
[Madison] Yes.

42:41.400 --> 42:45.920
It helps drown out background noise
so that I don't hear anyone around me.

42:48.760 --> 42:49.680
Hmm?

42:51.120 --> 42:53.520
Yeah? What is it?

42:53.600 --> 42:56.200
This means I have something to say,
but I have food in my mouth.

42:56.280 --> 42:57.200
Oh, okay.

42:57.720 --> 43:01.000
The parades must not be for you
because there's a bunch of screaming and…

43:01.080 --> 43:02.080
Yeah.

43:03.319 --> 43:04.240
It's… Eh…

43:04.319 --> 43:05.880
-Hearing screaming?
-Yes.

43:05.960 --> 43:08.680
And screaming noises
are obviously obnoxious.

43:08.760 --> 43:12.839
I loved going to the…
the 4th of July parade growing up.

43:12.920 --> 43:13.839
[Brandon] Mm-hmm.

43:14.440 --> 43:15.920
-[Madison] In my hometown.
-Mm-hmm.

43:16.000 --> 43:18.319
[Madison] It was a huge thing
with a bunch of reenactments.

43:18.400 --> 43:20.520
They'd reenact from Plymouth Rock

43:20.600 --> 43:22.560
up through 9/11, up through today.

43:22.640 --> 43:23.760
Yeah.

43:31.359 --> 43:35.040
[slurping]

43:35.799 --> 43:37.720
So do you still live with your family?

43:42.359 --> 43:43.560
[sighs dejectedly]

43:46.080 --> 43:48.160
-[server] Everything was good over here?
-All good.

43:48.799 --> 43:50.160
-Huh?
-Can I grab this for you?

43:50.240 --> 43:51.319
-Thanks. Yeah.
-Of course.

43:51.400 --> 43:53.560
And also… I'll ask you…

43:54.359 --> 43:55.600
[suspenseful music playing]

43:56.680 --> 43:58.480
[Madison] Do you wanna split the bill?

43:59.160 --> 44:01.440
Since this is my first time dating,

44:01.520 --> 44:04.600
uh, do you mind
if I pay for the bill alone first?

44:05.160 --> 44:07.560
-Yes, of course.
-[Brandon] Sure, yeah.

44:08.560 --> 44:10.680
-[Madison] Of course you may.
-Thanks.

44:13.400 --> 44:15.440
-[server] Here?
-[Brandon] Yeah, yeah.

44:15.520 --> 44:18.560
-[server] Okay.
-Okay. Do I pay with this?

44:18.640 --> 44:19.520
-[server] Yes.
-Okay.

44:19.600 --> 44:21.480
-[server] Thank you.
-You're welcome.

44:21.560 --> 44:24.280
-[Brandon] Oh yeah.
-They're supposed to take the book.

44:24.359 --> 44:26.920
-You're welcome.
-So I wanna say something to you.

44:27.000 --> 44:30.240
It was so nice to meet you,
but I don't think we're a romantic match.

44:30.319 --> 44:32.839
Uh, I do feel like
we are a romantic match,

44:32.920 --> 44:35.319
but it's just that I'm not comfortable

44:35.400 --> 44:38.040
being in public places
where there's people.

44:38.120 --> 44:40.520
Um, I'm… I'm being honest with you.

44:40.600 --> 44:41.680
-Yeah?
-[Madison] Yes.

44:41.760 --> 44:44.359
Like, I just want someone
who loves going out.

44:44.440 --> 44:45.960
That's very important to me.

44:46.040 --> 44:47.120
Yeah, I see.

44:47.200 --> 44:50.760
And you're not that for me, unfortunately,
but I do wish you the best of luck.

44:51.319 --> 44:52.960
I see. Understandable.

44:53.680 --> 44:55.520
Yeah, I did enjoy spending time with you.

44:55.600 --> 44:58.600
Yeah. And thanks
for spending time with me.

44:59.280 --> 45:00.160
Yes.

45:03.280 --> 45:04.240
[Brandon sighs]

45:04.839 --> 45:05.720
[clears throat]

45:05.799 --> 45:07.080
[pensive music playing]

45:08.280 --> 45:09.319
[Madison] I see.

45:13.720 --> 45:15.319
[Cian] See you later, Brandon.

45:17.720 --> 45:19.000
-Yes.
-[Brandon chuckles]

45:19.080 --> 45:20.040
Bye.

45:21.080 --> 45:22.240
Bye, Brandon.

45:26.359 --> 45:28.319
[Cian] So what do you think, Madison?

45:28.400 --> 45:32.280
Hopefully, I meet a guy who's outgoing,
a guy who loves traveling.

45:32.359 --> 45:34.879
The guy I met today,
he wasn't into any of that stuff,

45:34.960 --> 45:36.440
and it broke my heart.

45:37.319 --> 45:40.280
Cian, there… there…
there's so many fish in the sea,

45:41.359 --> 45:42.600
which is a good saying,

45:42.680 --> 45:45.720
and there's so many more fish
that I'd love to meet.

45:46.760 --> 45:48.280
Fish as in guys.

45:49.040 --> 45:50.960
[intriguing music playing]

45:55.280 --> 45:57.839
[narrator] At the Shepherd Hotel
in Clemson,

45:57.920 --> 46:02.240
Tanner is catching up with his mom, Nicci,
and sister, Midge.

46:02.319 --> 46:04.799
So, Tank,
you and Kate didn't really end up

46:04.879 --> 46:06.799
being boyfriend and girlfriend in the end?

46:06.879 --> 46:09.000
-No.
-But y'all are still friends.

46:09.080 --> 46:11.720
Oh yeah, and… and…
and our friendship will never die.

46:11.799 --> 46:14.120
-[Nicci] I love that. So sweet.
-That's right.

46:14.200 --> 46:17.319
So, Tank, on this next date, like,
what kind of girl are you looking for?

46:17.400 --> 46:18.879
What do you want her to be like?

46:18.960 --> 46:22.520
Yes. I'm glad you asked me that, Midge.
I want her to be very talkative.

46:22.600 --> 46:24.200
-[Midge] Yep.
-I want her to be beautiful.

46:24.280 --> 46:28.200
And I… I… I don't care what color eyes.
I don't care what color hair she has.

46:28.280 --> 46:29.600
You know what's interesting?

46:29.680 --> 46:33.400
How some people in different places,
personalities are… are different.

46:33.480 --> 46:36.080
Yep. Like, depending on
where you're raised, or…

46:36.160 --> 46:37.600
[Nicci] Right. Everybody's different.

46:37.680 --> 46:40.640
That's right, yeah. Some, it seems like
they're in bad moods all the time.

46:40.720 --> 46:41.560
[both laugh]

46:41.640 --> 46:42.799
Well, maybe some people

46:42.879 --> 46:45.960
'cause some people don't smile
quite as much as maybe we do.

46:46.040 --> 46:47.960
We live in a smiley part of the world.

46:48.040 --> 46:49.280
-[Tanner] Yeah?
-Yeah, we do.

46:49.359 --> 46:52.839
And sometimes when I'm quiet,
you don't think that's part of my autism?

46:52.920 --> 46:54.879
-When you're quiet?
-[Tanner] Yeah, when I'm quiet.

46:54.960 --> 46:58.040
-Well, okay, I don't know.
-Sometimes I don't have anything to say.

46:58.560 --> 47:01.480
When you were a very little boy,
you were very quiet then.

47:01.560 --> 47:03.799
That was probably a lot
because of your autism.

47:03.879 --> 47:06.680
-Probably so.
-Things were hard for you to understand.

47:06.760 --> 47:10.400
And the way you dealt with it was
by just not talking and not saying a lot.

47:10.480 --> 47:13.400
'Cause things were
very overwhelming and confusing.

47:13.480 --> 47:17.359
But then after we did homeschool,
everything got much better, right?

47:17.440 --> 47:19.240
-Uh-huh.
-And you started talking more.

47:19.319 --> 47:20.600
-[Tanner] Yeah.
-So, yeah.

47:20.680 --> 47:23.160
In some ways, when you're quiet,
it is your autism.

47:23.240 --> 47:24.879
-Yeah.
-[Midge] And that's okay.

47:24.960 --> 47:25.839
[Nicci] It's great.

47:25.920 --> 47:29.600
-Some people are quiet and reserved.
-It's who you are. Nothing wrong with it.

47:29.680 --> 47:32.319
It'll be very cool,
whoever you go on a date with,

47:32.400 --> 47:35.560
if she has something like autism,
you can learn about what she has.

47:35.640 --> 47:37.600
-[Tanner] Yeah.
-So you're not feeling any nerves?

47:37.680 --> 47:39.680
-I'm not. I'm not.
-[Midge] Well, good job, Tank.

47:39.760 --> 47:43.520
When guys are around girls, they're like,
"I don't wanna mess anything up.

47:43.600 --> 47:46.040
-[Nicci] It doesn't matter to you.
-No, it doesn't bother me.

47:46.120 --> 47:48.280
-You're a stud. That's why.
-You really are.

47:48.359 --> 47:50.960
Of course I'm a stud muffin.
No doubt about it.

47:51.040 --> 47:52.400
-[laughs]
-No doubts.

47:52.480 --> 47:54.680
-That's right. Nobody doubts it.
-[Nicci] Nobody does.

47:54.760 --> 47:57.120
-[Midge] Stud muffin, for sure.
-[Nicci chuckles]

48:00.120 --> 48:01.839
[pleasant music playing]

48:01.920 --> 48:05.000
-[gasps] Look! A duckling!
-Where?

48:05.080 --> 48:07.879
-It just went behind that…
-[Georgie] Oh, I can't see it.

48:08.400 --> 48:09.480
-Here, look.
-Where?

48:09.560 --> 48:10.600
Right there.

48:11.400 --> 48:13.640
[Georgie gasps] Baby!

48:13.720 --> 48:15.120
I love babies.

48:15.200 --> 48:17.319
[Connor gasps] Dragonflies!

48:17.400 --> 48:19.319
[Georgie] Wait, those are dragonflies?

48:19.400 --> 48:22.240
[Connor] There's this show I like,
it's called The Dragon Prince,

48:22.319 --> 48:24.799
and in it, the dragonfly is actually the--

48:24.879 --> 48:28.400
-Like the serious animated one?
-You know it?

48:28.480 --> 48:30.480
-I love it.
-[gasps] Oh my God.

48:30.560 --> 48:33.799
Uh, the little boy with the curly hair,
I can't remember his name.

48:33.879 --> 48:34.720
[Connor] King Ezran?

48:34.799 --> 48:37.520
Oh yeah, I forgot
he becomes king after a while.

48:37.600 --> 48:38.760
[Connor] Oh, good.

48:38.839 --> 48:41.879
For a second, I thought
I just gave away a major spoiler.

48:41.960 --> 48:42.799
[Georgie] No.

48:43.760 --> 48:46.080
-Edit that out.
-[Georgie giggles]

48:46.600 --> 48:48.720
[sweet instrumental music playing]

48:48.799 --> 48:50.680
[Connor sighs] So, uh…

48:51.680 --> 48:54.879
I like what you've done with your hair.
I like the use of the braids.

48:54.960 --> 48:55.839
[chuckles]

48:55.920 --> 48:59.480
You… I mean it, you just…
you just don't see that nowadays.

48:59.560 --> 49:00.720
-Thank you.
-Yes.

49:01.480 --> 49:03.839
-My compliments to your hairdresser.
-[chuckles]

49:03.920 --> 49:07.640
If you don't mind me asking, Georgie,
on the subject of dating,

49:07.720 --> 49:09.839
what exactly do you, uh…

49:10.720 --> 49:13.720
I don't know.
Uh, what exactly do you look for?

49:13.799 --> 49:16.720
Well, to be honest,
I never really had a date.

49:18.040 --> 49:19.520
-Shocking, I know.
-[chuckles]

49:19.600 --> 49:23.680
It's kind of tough to know
what I'm kind of looking for,

49:23.760 --> 49:25.520
but I've never really done it.

49:25.600 --> 49:27.799
Yeah, I… I know what you mean.

49:27.879 --> 49:32.040
I… I didn't know
what to think, how to feel.

49:32.120 --> 49:34.960
For a second, I thought
I had even gone mad or something,

49:35.040 --> 49:39.240
and that… that's, like,
one of my biggest fears, going crazy. Oof!

49:39.319 --> 49:40.160
[Georgie] Same.

49:40.240 --> 49:42.960
I mean, I have,
don't get me wrong, I've dated, yes,

49:43.040 --> 49:45.920
but I… I just… I could never find…

49:46.000 --> 49:47.240
[Georgie] The right one?

49:47.760 --> 49:48.879
-Yes.
-[chuckles]

49:51.879 --> 49:57.960
So, um… would you like to go find
somewhere to play croquet now?

49:58.040 --> 50:00.640
-Yeah, sounds good to me.
-Ah, sounds good.

50:00.720 --> 50:03.160
As always, ladies first, Georgie.

50:03.240 --> 50:04.280
[Georgie] Thank you.

50:06.000 --> 50:09.640
[Cian] Talk to me, Connor. How's it going?
She can't hear you. It's okay.

50:09.720 --> 50:10.720
I… I think…

50:12.600 --> 50:13.720
Georgie's amazing.

50:13.799 --> 50:17.120
We have so much in common.
We both like The Dragon Prince.

50:17.200 --> 50:21.720
We both like… both have taste
in old-fashioned things.

50:21.799 --> 50:25.440
I mean, when I saw her standing there,

50:25.960 --> 50:30.760
I thought to myself, "Whoa, who is that?"

50:31.600 --> 50:36.799
This may be my imagination,
or I might be saying things too early,

50:36.879 --> 50:40.120
but I think I may be feeling some sparks.

50:41.200 --> 50:44.160
She's very… very good-looking.

50:44.240 --> 50:45.760
She… she is very good…

50:46.319 --> 50:49.200
[in dramatic British accent]
It may be too early to say for certain,

50:49.280 --> 50:52.160
but I think I have found my Bonanza.
