You have a really pretty voice.
Not like yours, Dev.
You've been working on that song for a while.
Yeah. I'll probably never finish it.
Yes, you will.
You're gonna write a lot of great songs, Dev.
I'll probably be working fast food the rest of my life.
You're biting your lip again.
They're a perfect match.
I can't help it.
It just... It just happens.
I have no control over it.
More clients?
Well, I'll officially call them "clients"
once I start
"Over the Moon in Love."
So you really think there's someone out there for everyone?
Mm-hmm.
Even the hardest cases can be cracked.
Even me?
A girl could be so lucky, Dev.
[Dev chuckles]
So you think we'll still be friends?
Are you kidding?
[chuckles]
We've known each other since we were 10 years old.
Nothing's ever gonna change that, Dev.
Okay. Promise?
I don't promise...
[he exhales deeply] I pinky swear.
This is very serious.
Very serious.
[♪♪♪]
Morning, Mia.
Good morning! Here you go.
Fabulous. Thank you.
More fan mail.
[chuckles]
"Thank you, Brooklyn.
Celebrating nine years thanks to you.
Love, Scott and Jasmin."
Oh. They're my favorite.
I matched them when we were still in high school.
Are there any messages?
Um, yes.
Okay, I couldn't wait to tell you this,
but you got a call from--
wait for it...
♪ Stephanie Carlton
Why does that sound familiar?
Because her father is Douglas Carlton.
As in "publisher of Life/Style Magazine"Douglas Carlton?
Yeah! They're doing a feature
on summer love and matchmakers who connect people together.
It's a contest, really,
but the winner makes the cover.
And Stephanie wants to meet with me?
Yeah. She said she read
an article about Bradley Clint and Angelica Angel,
and how you're the one that set them up together.
A Hollywood couple that's lasted--imagine that.
Well, so what else did she say?
Well, she says she's the one writing the article,
so she'll have a lot of say on who her father chooses.
Mia, do you know what it'll mean
if this company makes the cover of Life/Style Magazine?
Uh... yes!
This is huge.
So when does she want to meet?
She wants to meet on Monday.
Okay, great. Clear my schedule.
Got it.
Oh, you also have another appointment request.
It was odd, though.
Odd? How so?
It was a guy, he said he wants to meet at the promenade
and eat dinner out of one of the food trucks.
Yeah, no. I don't-- I don't do client dinners.
I don't even do lunch.
I know, but he insisted.
He said it's gonna be a clear sky,
with tons of stars,
and it might bring him good luck.
"A clear sky with tons of stars"?
I don't know.
[laughs]
Where's the appointment request?
In your inbox.
He wants to grab a Gordo's Gourmet Burger.
Gordo's?
Mm-hmm. They're, like, so good.
Yeah. Yeah.
Devin...
Wait. Y-You know him?
No. I mean, yeah.
Mm. Used to.
We went to high school together.
I haven't seen him in probably 12 years.
[chuckles]
Oh.
Is he the one who broke your heart?
No!
[laughs]
He went to college, and...
I don't know, we just sort of lost touch.
And why do you keep on insisting that someone broke my heart?
Because there has to be a reason why
you try to connect everyone else in this world
except yourself.
Well, some cases are harder to crack than others.
[♪♪♪]
[text alert chimes]
You know, some say it's the best burger in town.
Devin! Hi!
-How are you? -Good! How are you?
Good.
Wow, you look...
You look amazing.
Well, you look...
fantastic, as always.
When did you come back?
Last week.
Actually, I saw your article in the paper.
I mean, you're really doing it!
Over the Moon in Love.
I never doubted you. It's awesome.
Congratulations.
-Thank you. -Yeah.
Well, are you hungry?
Starving.
Medium-rare... no onions?
Still?
Good memory!
[Devin] I thought you promised to stay in touch.
[Brooklyn] You broke your promise, too.
Pinky promise.
You're not supposed to break those.
Okay.
You're right. I'm...
I'm sorry.
I just-- I poured myself into my business,
and I lost touch with everyone.
I was off in Europe, and...
It's my fault, your fault, it's nobody's fault.
It's just... Life happens, right?
Here we are.
-Here we are. Cheers. -Cheers.
So are you still writing songs?
Yeah. No, haven't gotten the big, uh...
record deal yet, but, um...
Yeah. Play enough gigs to pay the bills.
Did you ever finish that song
you were working on in high school?
How is it possible you still remember that?
It was that good!
I'm telling you, it's a hit.
First, thank you, but no.
No, I-I didn't.
It's still missing that, um...
You used to call it something. Um...
It was a-a-a tingling--
"A tingle from your nose to toes"?
That's it.
Sadly, it's still missing that.
Well, you'll find it.
Yeah, I hope so.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Just singing songs.
[laughs]
Do you want to come to the office?
I'd really, really like to show you.
I'd love to.
Okay, good.
-You hungry? -So hungry.
[♪♪♪]
Honey, I'm happy that you wanted
to have breakfast with your dad and I this morning,
but it would be nice if you were having breakfast.
Mom, I'm so sorry.
This meeting is so important tomorrow.
and I have a million things I need to do.
Well, I read Life/Style,
if there's anything you want to know.
It's the biggest magazine publication out there.
I wouldn't be able to buy this kind of publicity.
And it's an article about summer love?
I have to prove to Stephanie Carlton
that every couple I've matched has gone on to get married,
or at least they're well on their way.
Maybe you could use
some of that magic charm onto yourself.
Leave her alone, Charlotte.
Well, there is someone out there
who could only be so lucky.
Oh, my gosh. I totally forgot to tell you.
Guess who I ran into yesterday?
Oprah Winfrey.
Devin Knight!
"Devin" Devin?
Yeah, can you believe it? He just moved back.
How is he?
He's really great.
He's definitely not the same old Devin,
that's for sure.
Is he still single?
[Brooklyn] He is, as a matter of fact.
I just think you two would've made an adorable couple.
Mom...
[pointedly] Cantaloupe, anyone?
[exhales defensively]
I just want to make sure
that you have that special kind of love in your life,
like we do.
I do. Approximately...
500 perfect matches so far.
[Dad laughs]
[♪♪♪]
I read online
that Stephanie likes Pellegrino with two lemons,
so make sure we have that on hand.
Mm-hmm.
And where are those cute pastries
I brought in this morning?
They're right here.
You're nervous.
Is it obvious?
Your cheeks are pink.
It's a natural blush.
Hello?
Hi.
You must be the famous love guru
I've been reading all about.
I'm Brooklyn Moore.
It's so nice to meet you, Miss Carlton.
Oh, just Stephanie, please.
Stephanie, this is my assistant, Mia.
[Stephanie] Love that shirt!
Oh, thanks.
So? This is where the magic happens.
Welcome to Over the Moon in Love.
Pellegrino, two lemons?
Yes, please. Perfect.
So are these all the people you've connected?
Yes. 100% success rate.
That's amazing.
My father is gonna love this.
I hope so.
I know I'm a little bit more boutique
than the other, bigger sites,
but I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
Well, he's looking for something unique.
Okay, great, because I have an idea.
Tell me.
What about a summer soirée?
Outside, under a full moon...
We could invite past connections,
future recruits.
Didn't you connect
Angelica Angel and Bradley Clint?
Yeah, I did.
Well, movie stars of their stature
would be a get, a lot of press.
I will have Mia reach out.
-I like it. -Here you go.
[Stephanie] Thank you.
So, how does this work, exactly?
I looked
and there was no online questionnaires,
no app for compatibility traits,
no personality tests.
How do you do it?
Well, it's hard to explain,
but it's a feeling that comes from within.
You know that feeling you get
when you meet someone for the first time?
It's a tingle that goes from your nose to your toes,
and when I really, really feel it,
I see stars falling in their eyes.
Stars in their eyes?
Well, not literally,
but it just reminds me
of all those nights when I was a kid,
staring up to the stars.
It's a feeling like we're all connected,
yet we're each unique.
That's what I see in people.
So when you meet someone,
you don't always have someone else in mind?
No, actually, most of the time, I don't, in fact.
Let's say you and I have a consultation.
We meet someone, you're not feeling it...
We wait.
A week later, maybe a month,
falling stars, bingo.
And then you arrange for them to meet?
Exactly.
100% success rate?
So far.
I really love your idea for a soirée.
I'm gonna throw a little wrinkle in there, though.
"Wrinkle"?
I'm tired of failed relationships.
I want my own "happily ever after."
You want to be a client?
Let me put it this way.
I have the biggest influence
over who my father chooses for this cover.
You prove to me that this really works,
your chances go up.
Way up.
Wow. Uh, okay.
It's just...
It sometimes takes time.
Well, you have two weeks, right?
Two weeks.
Hi.
Excuse me.
-Devin. -How are you?
-Good. How are you? -Good to see you. Good.
Um, sorry. I didn't know you were with someone.
I can come back later, if that's all right.
No, that's fine.
-Okay. -Stephanie, this is Devin.
-Devin, Stephanie. -Hi.
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Brooklyn, can I speak to you in private for a minute?
Uh, yeah. Sure.
Okay.
Okay, he is gorgeous.
Devin?
You know that feeling you were talking about,
that-that tingle?
I felt it. I still feel it.
I can't believe this.
No. No, no, no, it doesn't work like that.
He's the one.
Stephanie, uh, maybe we should wait, you know?
There's gonna be a lot of options.
I don't want any other options.
I want him.
[♪♪♪]
I have a call into the reps
for Bradley Clint and Angelica Angel!
We know how much they both appreciate you.
I bet they'll do it.
I just don't see the two of them together.
Do you?
Um, what are you talking about?
They're the celebrity match that put you on the map.
No, not Bradley and Angelica.
Devin and Stephanie.
Oh. Um, I don't know.
You're the expert.
I mean, what's the harm in setting them up on one date?
Are you feeling all right?
Does every romance have to end in a happily-ever-after?
Okay, I am not sure who I'm talking to right now.
Maybe I just need to expand my thinking.
You mean lie to them?
Tell them you felt it,
that they're meant for each other?
Well, I mean, no, not exactly.
Sort of.
Does that make me a really terrible person?
[♪♪♪]
So what did you think of Stephanie?
Stephanie...
Stephanie, Stephanie... Who's Stephanie?
The woman who you met in my office yesterday?
Oh, yes. Yes, Stephanie.
She's, uh, yeah, she's really nice.
What if I told you she could be the one for you?
The one for me?
The one for you, yeah.
Y-You felt that?
I think she might be worth a try.
[Devin exhales deeply]
What if I told you
I had feelings for...
somebody else?
Well, I'd say that's completely normal.
I see that all the time,
but then it doesn't work out
and you've wasted weeks, maybe even months.
What I do...
I cut to the chase.
It's my first time at your office, so...
She's beautiful.
She is, you know, she's beautiful.
I don't really know her, though, so...
So take her to lunch.
Ask her out.
Please? It'd be a really big favor to me.
How's that?
She asked me to ask you.
[laughs]
She asked you to ask me out?
Mm-hmm.
This is high school.
You know, that's fine. I'm actually gonna...
I'm gonna leave a note in her locker.
I think that'll work, right?
-No. No. -Here.
-Whoo! Oh, my--- -I'm leaving a note.
Whoa!
You good?
Yeah, that was close.
Yeah, it was.
[inhales sharply]
T-The truth is...
-I want-- -What do you have to lose?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.

So? Tell me everything. How'd it go?
Let's just say
there wasn't a lightning strike when she saw me.
You haven't seen her in 12 years.
You got to let the thunderstorm brew a little, you know?
I thought that,
if enough time had gone by and she was single,
then it was gonna be meant to be, and...
I was wrong.
Totally get the "friend" vibe.
She even wants to hook me up with one of her clients.
Devin, I'm your brother.
I know what's best for you, okay?
You've been holding on to this for way too long.
You didn't come back here
to write music and find new bandmates.
You came here to right a wrong
and find her.
Perfect match.
Yeah.
♪ You're better than everything ♪
[Stephanie] I'm so glad Brooklyn gave you my number.
[Devin] Yeah, of course.
-Good? -Yeah.
Ooh, there we go. A little wobbly there.
Yeah.
All right.
Hope you don't mind.
I took the liberty to pre-order some ribs for us, so...
Oh! Oh, yeah, I haven't had ribs in...
well, ever.
Ever...
-Oh! Uh... -No.
I didn't even think to ask. I'm sorry.
Is ribs okay?
No, no, it's fine. It... looks fun.
They are fun. Yeah.
Barbecue sauce is amazing, too.
Oh, I actually can't really do spicy.
Well, you know, I mean, it's barbecue sauce. It's not--
It's fine. It's fine.
Oh, there's lots of stuff, lots of other options.
Yeah.
Salads, and...
Yeah.
Oh, speaking of fun...
Bibs.
"I love ribs."
You do? That's good. Good to know.
We'll see.
This...
Try it on for size, and...
-Looks great. -Fits?
-Mm-hmm. Perfect. -All right.
Now we're having fun.
So you and Brooklyn have known each other for a long time?
Uh, yeah, Brook and I were great friends in high school.
-"Brook"? -Yeah, I call her that.
I assume I'm the only one who does, so...
-Oh. -Yeah.
So how'd you pick Brook for your magazine cover?
Oh, actually, it was an article that I read,
saying that everyone she's ever connected
is still together.
That makes sense.
She was actually doing that in high school.
It's really amazing.
She's an amazing person.
Yeah. She seems to be.
Oh! Here we go.
Thank you very much.
-Oh, wow. -Thank you.
I don't know where to start.
Uh...
Yeah, dig right in.
-Get in there? -Yep.
Well, it looks great...
for a vegetarian.
[♪♪♪]
Wow, she's pretty.
[phone rings]
Devin, hi.
Hey, Brook.
Hi. Aren't you still with Stephanie?
I dropped her off at her hotel.
Well, I thought maybe you guys would spend the day together.
I'm not really sure things went that well.
Really? Why? What happened?
We just don't have anything in common.
You know, I know you trust your spidey senses,
but I think you may have missed the mark on this one.
Yeah, well, these things don't always stick a landing
on their first date, Dev.
Yeah, well, I'm not sure there's gonna be a second one.
Do you think she feels the same way?
I don't know.
I think she had fun.
Um, I guess.
Well, that's great.
I mean, that's a start, right?
You really are pushing this, aren't you?
Well, I would just love
for you to find the perfect one, Dev.
Yeah, me too.
I'll call you a little bit later, okay?
Bye.
[♪♪♪]
-[sighing heavily] -Here.
Oh, thank you.
I'm sure it wasn't that bad.
It wasn't that it was... bad.
It just-- it felt like we weren't connecting, you know?
I see this with my clients sometimes.
It's not always love at first sight.
It takes time-- three-date minimum.
I haven't even gotten anything from him,
not even a "Hey, had a great time."
He's shy.
Can you just talk to him? One more time?
Stephanie, I don't--
Please, please?
Look, I know we just met, but...
it really feels like we're friends already...
And friends help friends out.
I would be so, so grateful.
Please?
Sure.
Oh! You're the best.
Okay, I'm way too stressed out to think about this right now,
so why don't we go finish planning
the details for your party?
Great.
Okay.
This would be one of our premier selections.
Most people don't have dinnerware this nice
in their own homes. And the food--
it will rival that of any five-star restaurant.
And how much does something like this cost?
This starts well into five figures.
Fi... Five figures?
Well into it.
Oh.
Well, are there any packages
that are maybe not so "well into it"?
Brooklyn,
this event needs to have class.
The place is gonna be filled with plenty of hopeful singles,
bloggers, journalists, socialites.
Trust me.
My father is veryparticular about these things.
May I ask what is the event for?
Life/Style Magazine.
Oh... my.
Well, that is first-class.
I know. It's just, um...
You know what? Sure. Let's-- Let's do it.
Fantastic.
Oh, we have much to discuss.
Uh, let me get all set up, and then...
we can start planning. Ooh!
This is so exciting.
[quietly] It's so expensive.
[Stephanie exhales]
Hey, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, of course. Sure.
How well do you know Devin?
Like, did you guys date or anything?
Oh, no. No, we've always just been friends.
But you knowhim.
You know, things he likes, taste in music,
things like that?
Yeah.
I mean, we just reconnected
for the first time after 12 years,
but I think so.
Do you think he's changed?
No.
I mean, he looks a lot different,
but he's still the same Devin.
Okay, good,
because I have an idea,
but I'm gonna need your help.
What kind of help?
Ready.
Come on in.
We'll talk about it later.
[♪♪♪]
[keys clacking]
There's no way we can afford this.
[sighing] I know.
But you've gotta spend money to make money, right?
Except we can't spend money we don't have.
I might've taken a line of credit out at the bank.
Oh.
Well, we better get that cover.
You're telling me.
Um...
where are you going?

Uh, sorry, my maid quit.

Is Devin here?
Oh, no, he's down at Finnegan's.
-Open mic. -At this hour?
Yeah. He's got a wedding gig coming up.
Actually, I think it was one of your clients,
and he likes to practice in front of real people, so...
Okay, cool. Well, I am gonna go track him down there.
Great.
We should all do something together sometime.
That would be awesome.
-That would be fun. -Mm-hmm.

Stephanie, hi.
Hey.
Brooklyn, I need your help.
Now?
Yes.
So, Devin texted me,
and I want to text him back
something that will really get his attention.
Okay.
What did he say?
Okay. He asked me how my night was going.
Okay.
How about...
"good"?
Well, no, I got that far,
and then I asked him how his night was going,
and then he wrote me back the same thing.
[sighing] Okay.
That's the point.
This is how our conversation went the other night.
I need your cleverness.
Do I do, like,
an emoji,
or a smiley happy face,
or a thumbs up?
No. No, no, no.
Definitely no emoji here.
Uh, how about...
"Listening to Paul Simon's 'Late in the Evening'
makes me want to go out
and find some live music somewhere"?
I don't like Paul Simon.
It doesn't matter. He does.
Oh, you're brilliant.
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
[message whooshes] Sent.
Okay, cool. Anything else?
[gasps] He just wrote back!
Wow, that... that was fast.
"Paul Simon fan?"
You are tonight.
I am tonight.
Wait. No! No, no, no. Don't. Don't write that.
Oh. Just... an emoji's fine here.
Heart-eyes.
Okay. So cute. Got it. Sent.
[text alert chimes] Ooh!
"Feeling restless. Hungry?"
"No."
-Yes. -Oh!
"Yes."
"Gordo's Gourmet?"
He wants to take you to Gordo's?
Ugh. Sounds delicious.
I should go, though, right?
Brooklyn?
Yeah. It's his favorite.
Okay. I will write him that I'm gonna meet him.
I'm gonna call you if I need your help later on
when we get to the restaurant.
Okay, well, I actually might be heading to--
Love you. Bye.
...Bed.
Gordo's was always our thing.
[sighs]
[phone rings]
Dev?
Hi. So I asked Stephanie
if she wanted to go get some food with me.
Oh. That's great.
Is it? I think it's a giant mistake.
[sighing]
[groans] Oh, it's like I'm in high school
with the two of you guys.
Well, it's just, it doesn't-- it doesn't feel right.
Dev, just go.
Have fun. See what happens.
I'm going to give her the quiz.
The personality quiz?
Yes, the personality quiz. Yes.
The same one from high school?
Yes, and if she does okay with it, we're good.
Dev, Dev, I don't-- I don't think that's a great idea.
I mean, it's only three questions.
Right, which reveals a lot.
Yeah, which might be a lot to ask, right?
I mean, you hardly know her.
That's the point.
You were the only one who passed it.
You realize that?
I know.
The stars were aligned that night.
I got lucky.
Yeah.
Well, I got to run.
I'll call you and let you know how it went.
Have fun.
[sighs] Okay.
[cell ringing]
Oh.
Hey. I have no idea what to wear.
Listen, Devin's gonna ask you some questions,
and it's really important
that you answer them correctly.
What? What kind of questions?
It's like a personality thing, a quiz.
It's just for fun.
What, like a test? About what?
Well, I wouldn't call it a test.
It's just-- It's just something he came up with,
a few questions.
Just play along.
Okay, I'm really confused.
Just use your own words.
I'm not good with my own words, Brooklyn!
That's why we're doing this whole thing.
[alert chimes]
Can you hold on a minute?
Sorry.
Dev, hey. Is everything okay?
I'm just gonna ask her now.
There's no point wasting my time.
N-Now?
Shouldn't you wait until you see her in person?
No. I...
I want to know now. I think it's better.
Can you hold on a minute?
Hey, so Devin is going to call you.
Just put him on a quick hold, and then dial me.
W-Why?
Just do it.
Ugh... Okay.
Hi. Sorry about that.
Uh, you know what?
I think that's actually a really good idea.
Just call her. Ask her on the phone.
Good luck.
[speed-dialing]
Hi.
Okay, he's on the other line.
Okay, great.
Patch me in, but don't say a word.
You have to be quiet.
Okay.
[deep voice] Hi there.
E-Everything okay?
[more like Stephanie] Yeah.
So what's up?
I was wondering if I could ask you a couple questions.
Um, it's just for fun.
Ask away.
How would you describe your-your perfect day?
Well, there'd definitely be live music,
lots of great food.
Nothing too fancy, though.
Yeah, me neither.
What's your favorite color?
Well, I'm quite partial to blue...
but not just any shade of blue.
It's more of a...
robin's egg blue.
I-I...
know the color well.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, I'm never going to grow up.
[Devin chuckles faintly]
Hello?
Did I pass?
Yes, you did.
-Great! -I'll see you in 20.
See you there.
[chuckles like Stephanie]
-Brooklyn? -[normal voice] Yeah?
Okay, what just happened?
Don't worry about it.
Enjoy.
[♪♪♪]
[ringing]
[as self] Hey. What's up?
You're not going to believe this.
She passed?
Aced it.
Oh! I'm so glad. That's great.
Yeah, me... me too.
Well, tick-tock.
You-- You'd better go.
I really love you for this, Brook.
Th-Thank you.
[awkwardly] Yeah.
You're welcome.

So when did you first get them together?
When I first met Lisa,
every man she met,
it was love at first sight until after the first date.
Three months later, Eric walked into my office,
and I... I felt it.
I just knew he was the one for her.
Even three months after meeting Lisa?
Yeah.
I just had this feeling I can't explain.
Well, you have to make sure they're at the party.
-Oh, for sure! -Oh, here he comes.
Quick, put this in.
What is this?
It's a Bluetooth,
so you can talk to me and feed me lines.
No! I'm not doing that.
Come on, please?
You were so brilliant the other day.
I just need you to get me started. Please?
-I don't want to blow this. -I can't.
Just put it in. Put it--
He's coming.
[sighs]
[all three, overlapping] Hi.
How's it going?
You were so great up there.
Thank you.
I always aspired to be a wedding singer.
You'll be singing your own songs before you know it.
I hope you're right.
-Hi. -Hi. How are you?
I'm good.
Oh! I'm gonna leave and...
Yeah. I'm gonna leave.
You're leaving this soon?
Yeah, I've-- I've got a really busy day tomorrow.
-Oh. Oh, okay. -Have fun.
-Okay. -Bye.
So...
Would you like to take a walk?
Yeah, yeah.
So do you do a lot of weddings?
[sighs] Here and there.
Um, weddings, birthday parties, graduations.
Um, I'll probably learn
how to do, like, balloon animals pretty soon.
That's great.
Is it?
Well, I mean, I...
"At least it's close to what you want to do."
At least it's close to what you want to do.
That's true.
"At least you're not working fast food."
You know, you're not working fast food.
That's very true.
"So... what's your dream?"
So what's your dream?
With, uh, singing?
Mm-hmm.
Um, probably to do my own songs.
You know, I mean, sometimes when I do these weddings,
I'll-- I know it sounds cheesy,
but I'll pretend that they're there to see me.
I was.
"I was."
Really?
Thought Brooklyn said you were there for research.
Oh, um...
"Yeah, a little, but I really wanted to hear you sing."
Yeah, maybe a little,
but I really wanted to hear you sing.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Ask him who his biggest inspiration was
to become a songwriter.
So who was your inspiration?
"Let me guess... Paul Simon?"
Let me guess. Paul Simon?
That was a very good guess, but no.
It was Brooklyn, actually.
Me?
"Me"?
No, Brooklyn.
Oh, Brooklyn. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, uh, when we were kids,
I was completely geeked out.
I mean, Brooklyn was never gonna go for a guy like me,
so I...
Uh, do you want to sit?
So I, uh...
I started writing songs,
and they were always about her.
[Stephanie] I don't know what to say after that.
Did you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, I heard you.
Yeah.
"That's really sweet. Does she know that?"
That's really sweet.
Does she know that?
No. No, she doesn't know, and I would, uh...
I would never tell her.
"Why not?"
Why not?
I've been in love with Brooklyn
for 20 years.
[shocked] What?
[Stephanie] And you're telling me this because...
[Devin] Yeah, yeah. No, it's...
It's probably a really bad idea
to tell someone that on a date, so...
"Wait. This is a date?"
This is a date?
Well, yeah.
Well, I didn't think our lunch one went so well.
I had a great time in Gordo's, though.
I mean, that place is the best.
[affectionately] Yeah, it is.
[grunts approvingly] It is.
Yeah. See, uh, the thing is, um...
Brooklyn never really had the same feelings
as I had for her,
so I-I-I really cherished our friendship,
and I-I would never want to jeopardize that.
[absently] Nothing ever will, Dev.
What?
Oh, nothing. Just, uh...
No one's ever really called me "Dev" but Brook.
Oh... [awkward chuckle]
Sorry.
No, no. I-I actually like it. You see...
Because of all that, that I just told you,
I've never really gotten past two dates with anyone.
You haven't?
-You haven't? -No.
No, so, uh...
that's why I've actually considered this a third one,
which is a first for me.
I guess that means I-I've gotten past Brooklyn.
"You have?"
You have?
Yeah.
And I'd really like to see you again.
You would?
Yeah.
I would.
[♪♪♪]
♪ Won't you sit down And sing a song with me? ♪
Where's my songbird?
The songbird isn't singing today.
Okay... plan B.
I should get to the office.
Tell me what's wrong.
What happened?
It's a really long story.
Has to do with Devin.
"Devin" Devin?
Yeah, Devin, Devin.
On the house.
Thanks, Dad.
-Mwah! -Thank you.
What happened?
Well, you know how important it is for me
to get the cover of Life/Style Magazine?
Uh-huh.
And you know that I've been meeting with Stephanie Carlton,
the daughter of Douglas Carlton, the owner of the magazine?
You said things were going very well.
It has! It's been going great.
I mean, it's gonna cost me a fortune, but...
it couldn't be going better.
Okay.
[sighs] There's a catch.
Stephanie told me
that she would help influence her father's decision
in exchange for a favor.
Uh-oh.
What kind of favor?
Devin.
This does not sound good.
She wanted me to set them up,
so I did,
but I really don't see the two of them together.
Well, they're two adults.
They'll figure it out on their own.
I don't see anything wrong with what you've done.
No. That's the problem.
It's working.
It's happening, but it's not honest.
Honey, I'm not following.
[exhales deeply] Okay.
I have been telling her what to say to him,
so he thinks it's coming from her,
but it's really coming from me,
and at first, I thought it was fine, you know?
It was a way for them to get to know each other
and break the ice, but now, it...
You don't want this to work out, do you?
Do you?
It's written all over your face.
I mean, yeah. We're just friends.
I've known Devin since we were 10 years old.
If I felt it, I'd know.
I never got that feeling I get when I connect other people.
Then, the other night,
when he was talking to Stephanie--
You're eavesdropping on their conversations?
No. Yes. It's complicated.
I heard him tell her
that he's had feelings for me all this time,
and now, after meeting her, he doesn't,
which made me feel like...
I lost something.
I don't know. Maybe I'm just being possessive.
Maybe I just want him in my life on my terms, as my friend.
Or maybe you felt something else?
I know what you're gonna say. Don't say it.
[parents] Love.
Agh, I knew you were gonna say it!
Well?
[Brooklyn sighs]
No. No, no, no.
I am not in love with Devin Knight.
Okay, well, then,
it doesn't matter if it works out with Stephanie.
Look, you're gonna have to be honest with them both.
I knew you were gonna say that, too.
[phone rings]
Stephanie, hi.
You're brilliant!
Okay, that completely changed everything.
It did? Really?
Oh, my gosh, yes!
I can't even thank you enough.
Are you okay?
Am I okay?
Yeah, why wouldn't I be?
I know you heard what he said about you.
Did you have any idea?
Uh, no, I didn't, actually.
You don't feel the same way, right?
[forced laugh] Are you kidding? No!
Not at all.
Okay, good.
I've already told my father how brilliant you are,
and he cannot wait to come to this party.
That's great.
Oh, and I'm actually going away for a few days.
I'm going to check in on some of our other candidates,
but don't worry, you are still my front-runner.
I'll be back in no time.
-Have a great trip. -Ciao!
I need to be logical here.
I haven't seen Devin in 12 years.
I need to be happy for him.
Logic doesn't have anything to do with this.
Yeah, well, it'll have to do for now.
I'm really late.
Thanks for the pancakes.
Bye, honey.
Love you.
[Matt laughs] Man, you're joking, right?
No, it hit me this time.
Bro, you cannot just
turn off a 20-year crush like a water tap.
Says who?
I don't know. It's an old saying.
Okay, so you're telling me
that after being in love with the same girl for 20 years,
now Stephanie's the one?
Look, I did not say Stephanie's the one.
I've always had feelings for Brooklyn,
and I probably always will, but...
it's time for me to move on.
Have you told Brooklyn how you feel?
-I don't have to. -Dude!
She's done everything she can to set me up with Stephanie.
Now, someone doesn't do that
when you have feelings for someone else.
You know, besides,
we had a great time.
Stephanie's super-cool.
She's "super-cool"?
Yes.
-You like her? -Yes. I like her.
You know "like" is a far cry from "love," right?
Maybe so.
Maybe love's a bit much to ask for right now.
You know, you should put that into a song.
[ball bangs wall]
Maybe I already have.
[♪♪♪]
Just heard from Bradley and Angelica.
They're into it.
The fact that they might be featured in Life/Style Magazine
has them totally jazzed.
Great.
Um, I just told you
that our celebrity couple is coming to our soirée,
and you sound like
I just made you a dentist appointment.
[chuckles] Sorry.
Did everything go okay with Stephanie at the wedding?
We're still on track, right?
Yeah, more than ever.
Then why do you look so miserable?
[sighs heavily]
Do you think it's possible
for me to get the same intuition I get
for other people on myself?
I never really thought about it.
Why?
Remind me why this cover is so important.
It'll be huge for the company!
Triple your fees, remember?
Yeah, but we were doing just fine before, weren't we?
Yeah.
So why am I making this so important?
Um, well, it is, if you want to repay the bank.
[dejected sigh]
Right. There's that.
What's going on?
Nothing. Let's just get back at it, shall we?

-Yeah. -I was in the area,
thought you might be hungry, so--
I know I should've called and I'm sorry.
But I'm not really sorry.
Well, I'm really glad you did.
[laughs] Come in!
Thank you.
Um, thank you...
actually.
But... what do you mean? Thank me? For what?
Yes, for always being right,
and, in this case, you were right about Stephanie.
What changed?
The conversations.
You know, she's a lot deeper than I thought, and...
I don't know. It's, uh...
She seems like she understands me, you know?
So, um...
Yeah, it's-it's hard to explain. Sorry.
I don't know.
So you like her?
I think so.
Enough to ask her out again,
so, yeah, thanks.
It's about time you set me up with somebody.
Should we eat?
Yeah.
You like Gordo's, right?
[♪♪♪]
Why do you have that out?
Our high-school yearbook!
I was just cleaning my closet...
-Uh-huh. -...And found it.
Didn't even know I still had it.
Ah, right.
No! Why did I look like that?
[Brooklyn laughs]
Come on. It's not that bad.
You--
And nobody takes a good yearbook photo.
You!
You take a good yearbook photo. Look.
Are these-- Are these people still together?
-Yep. -No!
Every single one of them.
Wow.
I don't remember you ever dating anyone in high school.
It's because I looked like that.
That guy doesn't date.
Well, did you have a crush on anybody?
You must have.
Eh, maybe.
Who?
It's not important.
-Come on, please? -I'm not telling.
I don't kiss and tell.
Well, from the sounds of it, you never kissed her.
That hurts.
Uh, probably because it's true.
I didn't, unfortunately.
Oh, hey, look at this.
Do you remember this?
Yes, I do.
-Look. -We were inseparable, huh?
Yeah... we really were.
[Devin sighs]
How did we not see each other for so long?
Well, I don't think we're the first set of friends
who've lost touch after high school, so...
I miss it.
You miss high school?
You-- You miss that guy?
No, no. Not high school, per se, but just, like...
having it all in front of us--
choices that affect us for the rest of our lives.
Well, you still have those.
Maybe...
it's more me wishing I had made other ones.
What would be the point in dwelling on that?
We just make the most of the choices we have from now on.
That's it.
You know what's probably gonna happen?
We're gonna get married, have families,
and not see each other for another 12 years.
Don't say that.
Well, it happens.
Maybe you and I will never get married.
Well, see, now, that's impossible,
because you have your 100% success rate,
and I can't be the first guy to break it, right?
I hope not.
I got to go.
Cool.
Well, thanks for the grub.
We'll always have Gordo's, won't we?
Yeah.
All right. Good night, Brook.
Wait. Devin?
Yeah?
What are you doing tomorrow?
Nothing.
I have to make a few decisions for the party,
and Stephanie's out of town for a few days.
I could really use a guy's opinion.
Sure.
Okay, cool.
I will call you in the morning.
See you tomorrow.
[door opens and shuts]
[sighs]
[♪♪♪]
[Brooklyn gasps]
Oh, it's so pretty!
Yes, it is.
What kind of flowers do you like?
I don't know. I'm a...
Do guys have favorite flowers?
Your favorite color is robin's egg blue,
and you're too manly to have a favorite flower?
-You took it there. -I mean, it's true.
Okay, um...
that one, favorite flower.
It's also your favorite color.
It's pretty.
[florist] Blue roses.
They are quite popular.
A romantic flower,
and are generally gifted
to those experiencing a secret love.
-Okay. -Huh.
Okay. Um, what about these?
Yellow acacia.
I like those. Do you like those?
-Yep. -This pretty flower
signifies the value of true friendship
and can also indicate a secret love as well.
[chuckles awkwardly]
Wow, that's a...
Lot of secrets.
-Lot of secrets. -Yeah.
Anything maybe not keeping secrets?
Well, when's your big day?
No, it's... It's a...
It's a summer party.
We're celebrating summer love.
Ah.
Well, you seem like a lovely couple.
Come. Let me show you some other options.
Okay, we're all set with our centerpieces,
now it's on to our gift bags.
Ooh.
[chocolatier] Hello.
How can I help you today?
Uh, we would like to sample some of your chocolate, please.
Perfect, and congratulations.
When is your big day?
-Oh, we're not-- -Couple weeks, thanks.
Delightful!
We've been planning this for, what, a couple years now?
Yeah. Can you believe it?
Big day's finally here, honey.
It feels just like yesterday when we met, sweetie.
I know!
You wouldn't believe
how he asked me out on our first date.
Ooh, I love these stories.
Yeah, with chocolate.
Chocolate?
[Brooklyn] Oh, yeah. It was quite a surprise.
Spelled out "I love you"
with 1,000 miniature chocolate bars
across the front lawn.
-How romantic. -[Devin] Right?
It was, until it rained.
It did-- It did rain.
-Didn't it? -It did.
Yeah, and it was real melty.
But then he melted my heart.
-Right, schnookums? -I did do that.
I've never heard such a wonderful story.
-Me neither. -Right?
-Let's get you some samples. -Please.
Studies prove that eating great chocolate
can lead to heightened feelings of romance.
Huh!
[♪♪♪]
[Devin] I am holding the best chocolate.
Wait till you have this one.
-[laughing] -Right?
This is so good!
I know.
Mm!
I-I don't think we're gonna go wrong
with any of those choices.
What?
[chuckles] Nothing...
I've just missed this...
you.
I've missed this, too.
Definitely missed you.
You know what's actually crazy?
My parents had their first date on a paddleboat.
Really?
Yeah. She thought they were going to the movies,
and my dad ended up blindfolding her
and surprising her instead.
John? [laughing]
Wow!
Didn't know he had it in him.
Right?
Clearly worked.
They're still madly in love, which is pretty cute.
Have you ever been?
Been what?
Been in love?
I mean, I know it's crazy
coming from a self-proclaimed "love whisperer,"
but no.
I've been close, but...
It just hasn't been right.
It's hard to explain.
It's just...
something you need to feel, you know?
[quietly] Yeah.
Yeah.
So let me ask you this.
Where would you say you see yourself
in, I don't know... five years?
-Five years? -Five years.
-It's a tough question. -I know.
[laughs] Um...
Well, I really want
to take Over the Moon in Love to the next level,
maybe build an app.
I don't mean your... your career.
I know.
Tsk.
I'd really like to find my person...
Mm-hmm.
Get married, have two kids.
That would be the dream.
You?
Same.
Two kids.
Boy and a girl.
Sounds pretty perfect.
[laughs]
I think it's all about
finding that person that you want to grow with.
Life is perfect with them by your side.
That's when you know you've found something real.
Exactly.
[phone rings]
Sorry.
It's Stephanie.
How is she?
Um, she's fine.
She just wants me to call her.
I had a lot of fun today.
Me too.
See you around?
Not if I see you first.
[both laughing]
So let's make sure
that we keep the chairs back a bit,
and we need to keep that center area open
so that everyone has a view of the sky.
Perfect. What about Mr. Carlton?
Ooh... Let's put him and Stephanie over there.
I want to make sure that they can see everything.
Got it.
[Stephanie] Hello!
-Hi! -Hi!
Mwah, mwah.
Okay, this location is amazing.
Oh, wait until you see it all done.
It's going to be beautiful.
My father is going to be very impressed.
So how's your article coming?
Well, so far, very flattering to you.
That's good to hear.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
No.
Ugh, it's Devin.
I just...
I feel so nervous
every time I have to talk to him.
You're a tough act to follow.
And...
he's actually invited me to meet his brother.
Tomorrow, we're going to some street fair.
It's not really my cup of tea, but the things we do, right?
Devin loves street fairs.
I want you to come with.
Me? Why?
Well, I mean, I don't want to make a bad impression
on his brother,
and, like I said, I need you when I'm around Devin.
As your crutch.
I'm sorry, my crutch?
I didn't mean it like that.
I...
Actually, yeah, I did.
I mean, why do you even want to be with Devin?
From the sounds of it,
you guys have nothing in common.
You don't even know what to say to him
without me telling you what to say to him.
It was the first time I saw him.
I was like...
he's gorgeous!
Yeah, but it's got to go deeper than that...
common interests being a start.
Sense of humor.
The way he makes you feel when he's not around.
What do you mean, when he's not around?
The way you count the days
until you get to see him again...
Or the way you feel safe when he's close by.
I know what you're gonna say,
but you also said I have to give it time,
and that even if you felt it,
it doesn't mean that it happens overnight.
Right.
Okay, so will you come with us?
Please?
[sighs]
Yeah, okay.
Great. It's gonna be so fun.
[♪♪♪]
Oh, hey!
Hi.
[overlapping] Mwah!
You look amazing!
You do, too! Hi.
How's it going? Good to see you.
Nice to see you.
Where's Matt?
Late, as usual.
[chuckles]
Well, this is so fun.
I mean, I love these things.
Yeah, this was actually our favorite place to come
when we were in high school.
-Do you remember? -Yeah, it's actually
where we discovered Gordo's for the first time.
Ooh. No Gordo's for me today.
That was just a little bit too greasy.
But hey, that's just me.
If that's your kind of thing, go for it.
I'll find something.
Should we sit?
[Matt roars]
[Matt chortles]
Got you, man.
What's the matter with you?
[laughing] Hey, Brooklyn.
-Hi! -How are you?
Good. How are you?
[Matt] Sorry I'm late.
Unfortunately, this is my brother.
Matt.
Stephanie.
Hi.
Hi...
So we're gonna get some food later on. You want to?
[Matt] Yeah, yeah, that sounds great.
I passed by
a really good-looking veggie wrap over there, so...
Oh, you're a vegetarian?
Not really, but, sometimes, when I'm in the mood, you know?
Oh, there's a great band that's gonna be playing later, too.
They're so awesome.
It's like Christina Aguilera meets Depeche Mode.
O-M-G!
Christina Aguilera's only, like, my all-time favorite.
-Are you kidding me? -No!
-She's awesome, right? -Right.
-What are you doing? -[Matt] Cool.
Nothing.
You're doing the lip thing.
I'm not...
-You just did it again! -I didn't. I didn't do it.
-You did! -No.
-You were!
You know,
I think I've had too much popcorn.
I think-- I think I'm gonna go.
-Wait, what? -I just got here.
Do you want me to take you?
Uh, no, no.
Matt, why don't you take me? You guys, have fun.
Okay, okay. Well--
Yeah.
Nice to meet you, and we'll see you guys later.
Yeah, maybe we could do this tomorrow
or the day after.
Are you okay?
Do you need anything? Do you want some water?
No, no. I'm actually fine.
It's just, uh...
Stephanie...
I'm matchmaking, so...
Right.
I think it's best that we, you know...
Oh, of course, because they've got to...
Yeah.
They got to connect.
-Yeah. -Okay, good.
I'll go get a veggie wrap.
Yeah. I'm gonna go.
-Okay, good to see you. -Nice to see you.
-Bye. -Bye.
[♪♪♪]
[knocking]
[door creaks]
Devin, hi.
Making a bad habit out of this, I know.
May I?
Yeah, of course.
Uh, I thought you'd still be with Stephanie.
I was.
We actually had an amazing day.
I'm telling you, this girl knows...
She knows me like a book.
-Glad it's working out. -And...
[thumps case] ...I finished it.
Finished what?
My song. Thesong.
The song?
Yes, the one from high school.
That's amazing.
I found out what was missing.
What?
Stephanie.
-Stephanie? -Yeah.
And I can't tell you exactly why or what it was,
but it just, it clicked.
Can I? Can I play it for you?
Okay.
Now, I kept some of the lyrics
that we worked on from way back when,
but let's see if you like the changes.
I'm a little nervous, okay?
Because you really need to be the first one to like this.

Devin, stop.
Wrong note?
No, it's amazing.
It's not her, though.
It's not her mind or her words
or her quick wit.
Well, sure it is. I mean, it's--
No. No, listen to me.
Stephanie isn't the one that made you finish the song.
What does that mean?
Look, all of those things she's been telling you,
the things that matter to you,
the things that make you feel
like she's known you your entire life...
Yeah?
It was me.
I'm so confused right now.
It was you?
I would send her text messages and tell her what to say to you.
Like the other night, in the park,
when you guys were walking after the reception,
I was feeding her lines through an earpiece.
-I know it's insane-- -Okay, um...
You...
You can't stand seeing me with someone else, can you?
Listen to me. I'm telling the truth, okay?
It was...
It was a ruse, and it was...
wrong, all of it.
I'm really, really sorry.
Why are you doing this to me?
She said that I'd get the cover of Life/Style
if I got you guys together.
You used me for that?
No. I actually thought that it would--
it would be good for you.
Thought it'd be good for you is what you mean.
Brooklyn,
you know, whoever this is sitting here...
that's not the girl that I know anymore.
Are you sure about her?
Yeah, she's...
She's sweet.
No. I mean, are you really sure
that it's her that you're falling for?
I'm not sure of a lot right now.
Because I think I have feelings for you.
You "think"?
Wow.
Dev...
[door shuts]
[♪♪♪]
Ta-dah!
Coffee won't help.
Well, it won't hurt.
[Brooklyn sighs]
How could I be so careless?
You did the right thing by telling him.
I know,
but it wasn't fair to Stephanie, either.
Um...
I'll leave you two to talk.
Please... sit.
Stephanie, I...
He was bound to find out.
You were right.
It was dishonest.
[Stephanie scoffs]
Unfortunately, my father has informed me
that he'll be traveling next week,
so he won't be able to make it to the party.
To be honest, I don't even know
how I'm going to finish this article.
The entire premise has gone out the window.
Stephanie, wait.
It was never Devin.
You sabotaged this entire thing
because you're in love with him.
I never felt the nose-to-toes with you two.
[snickers]
Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?
Yeah, well, this might sound even more ridiculous.
It's Matt.
What are you talking about?
Devin's brother.
I felt it at the street fair,
when you guys met.
The lip bite?
It was a lightning bolt-- stars in your eyes.
Wow.
You will say anything to get this cover, won't you?
No. I don't even care about the cover anymore.
I really don't.
I find that hard to believe.
And I did the right thing by telling Devin the truth.
I should have done it a long time ago.
I like you.
You're smart,
and beautiful,
and so charming.
I just wish you knew that about yourself,
because if you did,
you wouldn't need me to speak for you.
Love is the purest thing there is.
It can't be bargained with
and it can't be fooled.
Go find Matt.
Trust me.
He likes Christina Aguilera, for crying out loud.
[♪♪♪]
You did yourself proud.
[Brooklyn] Mom, what are you doing here?
Oh, sweetheart.
Mia told me what happened.
She said you'd be here.
Now, since when do you drown your sorrows without me?
I thought maybe you'd heard enough.
Nonsense.
What am I going to do?
I've lost everything...
the cover,
probably my business...
Devin.
You will find your way.
You always do.
Love will find its way, too.
I wish I never had this career.
All I ever feel is everyone else's love.
[sighs]
I couldn't see that mine was Devin all along.
Well, you shouldn't say that,
because you're responsible
for bringing a lot of people together
that are the happiest they've ever been.
You did that.
After tonight,
I'm just gonna let everyone figure it out for themselves.
Oh, now, that's nonsense, too.
The world needs you, Brooklyn,
more than ever.
[stops mid-chord]
I want to hear it.
It's not done.
No, not that one.
the song.
I want to hear the rest of it.
Maybe some other time.
Stephanie backed out of everything.
Sorry to hear that.
I'm glad.
I didn't want to get the cover that way.
Brooklyn, if you want to talk about--
No. No, hear me out.
I'm not gonna apologize anymore,
because there are only so many ways
I can say I'm sorry...
but there are so many ways I can say "I love you."
I was empty for the last 12 years,
and I didn't know it because I filled that void
by bringing other people together.
When, all this time...
my perfect person...
was right here.
Anyway.
I wanted to tell you that.
And...
I still hope you come to the party.
We picked out some pretty great chocolate together.
Oh, and where it says
"I searched everywhere for a love
I thought I would never find,"
the last line should say
"Until I looked into your eyes."
Just sayin'.
[footsteps receding]
[buzzing chatter]
Hey.
I spoke to Bradley and Angelica.
They've been made aware
that it's likely they won't be featured in Life/Style.
How did they take it?
Fairly well?
I mean, they still want to make an appearance.
And you know what? Who needs Life/Style?
We're gonna get lots of press on social media anyway.
Well, if this is our last hurrah,
we might as well go out in style, right?
Exactly.
I guess I should probably
give a welcome speech or something.
There's still people coming in.
Maybe you should just wait a little longer?
It's 8:00. Time to rock.
Wait, is that Stephanie?
Oh, my gosh, she's here.
Oh.
Brooklyn, this is my father, Douglas Carlton.
Daddy, this is Brooklyn, "the Love Whisperer."
Nice to finally meet you, Brooklyn.
It's my pleasure, sir.
I read Stephanie's article.
You wrote it?
And what I like most is the honesty.
How did you put it?
"Love is the purest thing there is.
It can't be bargained with..."
"It can't be fooled."
You know, I find your story rather compelling.
Thank you.
This is quite an event. I'm very impressed.
I'm looking forward to talking with some of your clients
and hearing more about what you do.
Yeah, of course.
Please.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
-I'll catch up with you, Daddy. -Okay.
-[Mia giggles]
[sighs]
I'm sorry for the way I left the other day.
I was angry,
but when I sat down to write the article,
I didn't need a "crutch" anymore.
I was channeling your voice,
and, somehow, it just became my own.
You were right,
and you made a difference to me.
Anyway... congratulations.
Thank you. I, uh...
I don't know what to say.
Well, hopefully, soon enough with Devin,
it will be "I do."
[chuckles weakly]
Yeah, I doubt that,
because he's not even talking to me at the moment.
Well, we'll see about that.
[♪♪♪]
What?
He didn't...?
No.
"He didn't?"
He didn't what? What's going on?
Wait. Were you in on this?
She made me keep it a secret. I'm sorry.
But it wasn't just her father
that she wanted to surprise you with.
-Sorry. -Devin?
Yeah, but he said no.
You know...
I'm gonna be right back.
[♪♪♪]
You look nice.
Thank you.
Is that, uh, coming from you
or Brooklyn?
I deserve that.
Ahem. Can I come in?
Sure.
Did Mia explain?
She did, but I'm about to head out, so--
I'll just take a second, okay? I won't be long.
Okay.
This wasn't Brooklyn's fault.
I made her do it.
I know. I've actually heard all this before.
Okay, so why are you mad at her for what I did?
It was pretty awful.
Can you just come to the party?
My father is there.
It's everything she wanted it to be,
except for one thing...
you.
Well, Stephanie, I--
Please come to the party.
I am.
You what?
Yeah, it's why I'm wearing this suit,
and I'm actually late, so...
[Matt] Devin!
Did you take my deodorant?
[♪♪♪]
[dazed] Hi.
Hi.
Okay, my cue.
See you two at the party.
Bye.
Wow... you look amazing.
So do you.
Thanks.
Wow, she was right.
Who was right about what?
I see stars in your eyes.
Yours too.
[chuckles]
I would like to take you out to dinner sometime.
Well, that's bold.
Well, you know what they say, "Be bold or grow old."
I like it.
[♪♪♪]
[buzzing chatter among guests]
Oh!
No idea where she went.
Well, I should probably wait to start
until she gets back, right?
Yeah.
[♪♪♪]
[crowd murmuring and cheering]
-Hey! -Hi!
Hi, everyone.
[crowd applauding]
How's everyone doing tonight?
[cheering and applauding]
What a night!
I mean, just look up at the moon,
all the stars.
We would like to call up Brooklyn.
What?
This wasn't part of the program.
Go!
There she is!
Go.
As many of you know,
none of us would be here tonight if it wasn't for Brooklyn.
[guests applauding]
Speech?
Thank you.
I appreciate you guys coming and being here.
And thank you
to everyone for coming
to our first, and hopefully not our last,
Over the Moon in Love Summer Soirée.
[applauding]
I see some new faces out in the crowd tonight...
as well as some familiar ones...
...people I know that I'm honored
to not only call my clients,
but my friends.
You've let me into your lives.
You've told me your deepest secrets.
You've shared your wants,
and you've fully trusted me
by putting your open hearts into my hands.
I always thought
that love was supposed to be this...
magical, euphoric feeling...
And I would convince you guys to open your hearts
and to dive in head-first,
yet I never really took my own advice.
Over the last 12 years,
I've poured my energy and my focus
into my career,
but over these last few weeks, I've learned a very...
very valuable lesson.
A job is replaceable.
And the people you love...
are not.
When I think of love,
it's like
doing absolutely nothing with someone
and realizing you're having the most amazing time.
Or knowing that your person supports you
with their whole heart,
and they're rooting for you to succeed
every step of the way.
That feels a lot like love to me.
And with that
comes respect,
trust...
honesty...
And forgiveness.
