- Thank you.
- Yeah, but he doesn't know what the difference
between past, perfect, and present is.
I got to go.
Hey.
- Oh, hey. - I'm glad you could make it.
- [Liam] It's great to see you.
- Yeah, of course.
I had to grade these exams somewhere.
It may as well be here.
So?
Your message left me on pins and needles.
What's up?
- Well, it's good news.
Great news.
I mean maybe.
- Just tell me!
What is it?
- I have someone at Adams and Andrews
who wants to read your manuscript.
- They're the best.
The best of the best.
- But, I have a concern.
Okay, we have shopped your manuscript everywhere,
so this could be your last chance
to get your book published.
- Yes, but you are the person that says
it only takes one yes.
- And it's true,
but, this is not the time to leave town.
What if Adams and Andrews want additional changes?
- Well then I'll get them done.
Liam, I can't miss this trip.
It's my grandmas 75th birthday.
Se's been planning for months
and now my mom is stuck dealing with
contractors at the house
and I said that I'll go help out.
- Okay, I appreciate that you have family obligations,
but I need you to be available
and ready to finish this project.
- Definitely.
And I will get your revisions done
before I leave for the lake,
and if Adams and Andrews have any other notes,
I will get those done too.
- Good.
I'm counting on you.
I had to call in some pretty big favors
to get you this read.
- Thank you.
And I promise, this is going to be
the best draft you have ever read in your entire life.
(phone ringing) (both laughing)
- I have to take this.
- Yeah, that's fine.
Go.
- [Liam] Audi, this better be good.

- Hello!
- Oh!
My Penelope has returned at last!
- Grandma, you've got four children,
11 grandchildren, and who knows how many cousins
that all come see you.
- You're my only Penelope.
You look tired.
- It was a long drive.
- Well no, you're just doing too much.
- Surely you have not been retired so long
you've forgotten about the mad rush
at the end of the school year?
- No, I remember.
(both laughing)
And I have just the thing
to put the color back in those cheeks!
I have a berry cobbler in the oven.
- I could smell it the second I stepped inside.
- Oh could you?
Because I started to use fresh nutmeg...
- It smells like home. (perky music)
I love you.
- Did you bring bags?
- Yes.
- [Dot] Go get them.
- Right, I will do that.
(phone ringing)
- [Josie] Hello?
- The eagle has landed.
- Initiating step one.
Jason!
Can you go help that poor girl in the Campbell's driveway?
- On it!
Here, let me help you with that.
- Oh, no, no. - No, I've got it.
It's fine. - It's okay!
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh no! - No!
- [Dot] I told you it would work.
- [Penelope] Jason.
- Penny.
- It's Pen now.
- It's been a long time.
- Too long.
- How have you been?
- You know.
Can I have my shirt? (tense music)
- What?
- My shirt.
- Oh, sorry about that!
Here.
Kittens.
- It's vintage.
- What a pleasant surprise!
And you've come to help Pen!
Oh, such manners.
- Yeah.
- It's like magnets pulling you two together.
(Pen and Jason chuckling)
How long has it been?
- Since--
- High school.
- Oh well, why don't you come inside Jason?
I've made cobbler.
There we are!
(perky music) - Mm, my favorite.
- Some things never change.
So, I'm sure you two want to catch up.
Pen was made a department head
at her middle school this year.
- You teach?
- It's kind of the family business.
- So Josie tells me that you're in banking.
- Banking, really?
- Kind of.
- So what exactly do you do?
- Investment banking.
- [Dot] Oh.
- I help corporations and other organizations
raise capital to grow their businesses.
(perky music)
- Where'd you get your MBA?
- University of Chicago.
- You know, when you two were kids,
your grandma and I used to think
you were fated to be together.
I mean, you were completely inseparable.
- That was a very, very long time ago grandma.
- Oh, well, you know the old saying,
the only thing more powerful than time is love.
- Who said that?
- I did.
- Aren't you quite the poet?
- Oh Jason!
You flatter me!
(tense music)
Say, I have a fabulous idea.
Do you remember Pen's cousin Annabeth?
Well, she was talking about going dancing tonight.
I think she wants to practice
her moves for my party.
I think the two of you should go with her.
- I wish I could.
I actually have plans tonight though.
Speaking of which, I should probably get going.
Thank you so much for the cobbler.
- You're welcome.
- And it was really nice to see both of you.
- Yes, and we'll see you again soon too.
(light gentle music)
You know, it feels like summer when you were a kid
and the house was full.
- [Penelope] Awe Grandma.
- It must be nice to see Jason again, huh?
- I came here to see you grandma.
- No feelings because it's been so long?
- It's actually a little strange.
- But there's so many memories.
You must have a lot to talk about.
- Grandma, I just don't have time for that right now.
I know you really want me to have a date to your party,
but I'm not interested in seeing anybody.
- Well, when was the last time you went on a date?
- How about we talk about your plans for the party?
- Oh, well, I've gotten RSVP's from everyone.
The only person I'm concerned about is your mother.
- Yeah, I know.
But, after she gets the flood under control
she will be here.
- I hope so.
I brought you a crossword puzzle.
- I love these.
- I really need help with this one.
- See, I fell for that as a kid, but,
you'd always pretend there was one
you just couldn't get without my help.
You made me feel very important.
But now I see that you didn't need my help at all.
- No, I did!
And I still do!
You were always better at these.
So listen, if it's not Jason, (Penelope laughing)
maybe we can find you someone who likes puzzles, huh?
- Suppose there's no point in asking you to stop.
- What?
Stop loving you?
Stop wanting good people in your life?
No, no, no point at all! - Awe grandma.
- [Dot] Oh!
- What's wrong?
- I forgot to pick up the bread for dinner tonight
and Annabeth is going to be here--
- Oh, I can go.
- Would you?
- [Penelope] Yeah, I'll go.
- Good, but you have to go to George's Bakery on Main Street
'cause that's where I placed the order.
(upbeat music)
(birds chirping)
- Penelope's grown into such a beautiful young woman.
- Grandma, we talked about this, remember?
You and my favorite cousin Lily
are the only beauties I want in my life this summer.
- I know, but Dot's like a sister to me
and it's Penelope.
You used to think she was someone special.
- Someone special?
- He was completely smitten.
- Grandma!
- All right, all right, all right.
Why don't the two of you head down to the bookstore--
- I can get books on my phone.
- You can get a whole lot more than that at the bookstore.
- Like a coffee date with your water aerobics instructor?
- Well did you want me to give her a call?
- No, no thank you.
- I want you to pick up a copy
of my Seniors Weekly magazine while you're down there.
- You got that delivered yesterday.
(slow perky music)
- I gave it to Dot.
So I need another one.
- All right, come on.
- Oh, by the way, I have a new optometrist.
Jason, she is so pretty.
- Oh grandma, remember,
you and Lily, the only beauties!
- You are such a charmer.
- Ready?
All right.
(Josie laughs)
(upbeat music)
(slow gentle music)
- Can it be?
- The bakery looks amazing.
I'll have to admit, I doubted when you
told me your renovation plans, but great job.
- Thank you very much.
That's not the only thing that's new here.
Have you met my grandson David?
He's moved back.
- Oh.
George, I would love to stay and catch up,
but I have to hurry back.
- He's recently single,
and he's really good looking.
Gets his good looks from his father of course.
(Penelope chuckles) David, get out here!
David, this is Pen.
She's visiting from San Francisco.
Dot's granddaughter.
- The teacher, right?
- [George] He's in a band.
- We're called Star Rising.
- About the bread.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
We'll put that on Dot's tab.
- Thank you.
- Your grandmother's a mighty fine woman.
I baked something special just for her.
Now you make sure that you say hello from me.
Oh and from David of course, as well.
- I will.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- Bye-bye. - Bye, see ya.
- [Lily] Pen!
- Lily bug!
Get over here!
So how was your first year in middle school?
- You're in middle school already?
- I got my own phone!
- That is a huge mile stone,
and a very pretty case.
- Uh-huh, Jason told grandma that you were someone special.
(perky music)
- I didn't say that.
- Well you know, once upon a time
we were actually very great friends.
What'd you get?
- [Lily] I got "A Wrinkle In Time."
- That is one of my all-time favorites!
You are going to absolutely love it.
- Really?
- Yeah!
My students always do.
I love watching them because when they read it,
their faces light up.
- I always knew you'd make a great teacher.
- Interesting choice.
- It's actually for Josie. (Lily giggles)
- So, are you here for the summer?
- Yeah, actually.
You know in grad school I started
coming back for Christmases.
But this is really the (phone ringing)
first summer I've had the chance...
- I'm so sorry, I got to get this, bye.
Hi!
Hi.
- Okay. - Just a second.
- [Liam] Pen, I just got a call from Adams and Andrews.
They're interested in a publishing deal.
- Are you serious?
- Hey, hold on, there's a butt.
- Right, yes, what is it?
- They want a lot of story revision
and they want the final draft done
by the end of the month.
- Liam, I can totally do this.
I promise.
- I'll send you the first round.
Have them done by tomorrow afternoon.
- Yes! (perky music)
- [Jason] What?
- You tell me what.
- Come on, let's go home.
- [Lily] Thank you.
- [Jason] Thanks.
- Okay, bye-bye.
- A yacht.
- Yeah, I've been really into sailboats lately.
There's a lot you could do with them design-wise.
Except I've been stuck at this part for a while.
- Wow, I can hardly wait to sail in that one day.
(Jason laughs)
Isn't it so great being here in the summer?
You get to know your cousin.
Lily comes when her parents
are working for her break just like you did.
- Her parents ship her off so they
can hammer out a divorce like mine did too.
- I know when your parents got divorced
that you thought you had to take care of your mom.
Get a job, give up your dream.
You don't.
It's not true.
I always thought you'd be a great naval architect.
- Would it be corny if I say that ship has sailed?
- Maybe it's time for you to meet somebody special?
- Please grandma?
No more setups.
I have been here two days
and you have arranged four meetings.
Five if you count Penelope in the driveway.
I do.
Uh-huh.
Right now, I am just focused on being here.
The only place that feels like home anymore.
- Oh honey. (slow gentle music)
Okay.
Hey, if you feel like sailing,
I still have the old boat.
It's a bit of a wreck and the sail's torn,
but it floats.
Maybe you could fix it up while you're here.
- I'd love to.
- Oh hey.
What'd you think of the new bakery?
Did you meet George's grandson?
- He's not my type.
- Oh, I think he's a lovely young man.
He's in a band.
- Oh trust me, I heard.
- Well maybe he could be your date for my party?
- I think I'm going to pass.
- Well maybe you'll like Brian better.
- Brian? Who's Brian?
- He's Annabeth's friend.
He's coming over for dinner.
- Pen!
(girls screaming)
- Hey! - I missed you so much!
- [Penelope] How's life?
How's work?
Wait, first you have to tell me
about this Chad guy.
- Or you could just meet him.
- Hi. - Hey!
- [Annabeth] This is my boyfriend Chad.
- Now you're the cousin who might as well
be a sister who can't get here fast enough
and could probably just move here.
Or something like that.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
- Likewise.
- Oh, my friend Brian's on his way over.
He's a dentist.
- Oh, how wonderful.
Pen has such lovely teeth.
Now, if we hurry up with dinner,
we can make the dancing.
- Oh! - Oh, grandma,
- [Penelope] I'm not going to be able to go dancing.
I'm exhausted and I have a lot of work to do.
- Work?
- Yeah, and I'm really behind.
- [Annabeth] She made us bring Brian.
- I know it's her way.
- I can't believe she's trying to make you
and Jason happen again.
You know, she must really want you
to bring a date to her birthday party.
- Got to hand it to her,
that woman has some serious determination.
(Annabeth laughs)
- Hey, so why did you two
ever break up anyway?
- I can't remember, it was so long ago.
- Uh-huh.
- Okay, it was senior year
and we were both really focused on the future.
You know, trying to figure out
where we wanted to go to college
and what we wanted to study.
We wanted to be all of that
and Jason kept asking
how we could ever be sure about our love.
- Oh.
- But that was ages ago.
There is absolutely no way I'm going
to date my old high school boyfriend.
- So what are you working on?
- Grandma Dots birthday present.
- Ooh.
What is it?
- You'll find out.
- Well aren't you just full of secrets.
(both girls laughing)
I'm going to borrow this.
- [Dot] Pen, come see,
the neighbors have a new pool boy!
- Okay.
- And you were saying?
- She's relentless.
- The struggle is real.
- [Dot] Oh Pen, so glad you're awake.
- [Penelope] What happened?
- The sink is clogged.
Jason was kind enough to come help.
Anyway, I'm running a little late for my book club.
Would you mind helping Jason while I'm gone?
- Oh, I was just about to go work.
- Oh, thank you dear.
You got the puzzle and I'll be back soon.
- My grandma broke her own sink didn't she?
- That's my guess, yeah.
- Very nice of you for helping her.
- Of course.
- I'm sure grandmothers will have lots of
chores for you to do.
- I am already supposed to fix the sail
on my grandma's boat.
- Oh, that sounds a lot more legit
than pulling dish rags out of the sink.
- I just wanted to apologize if my being here
is causing you any problems at all.
- Oh.
No, no problems.
We should both be able to visit our grandmothers
and let history be--
- History.
- Right. - Right.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- [Penelope] So do you actually need my help?
- No, I've got this.
- Great.
(perky music)
- We need a better idea.
- Time.
Just give it time.
- How did you clog the drain?
- Dish cloth.
- Good idea.
(perky music)
- Pen, have you met Greg?
He's my pharmacist.
I told him you were an English teacher,
so he wrote you a poem.
- You might recognize the inspiration.
Lily's are white, daffodils are yellow,
I wrote you this poem just to say hello.
- Oh.
I'm so sorry, I,
I forgot I have to go.
- Just one coffee, black please.
- [David] Yeah, no problem.
- You following me?
- I know it sure seems like you're following me.
- Whoa, what's going on?
- I don't have time for Grandma Dot's matchmaking
and especially not with you.
- Oh my God, I didn't know you were going to be here.
Just trying to avoid a date with Rhonda
who still practices her high school cheers.
- Well I am here avoiding Greg,
the poet slash pharmacist.
- You win.
- Thank you.
- Well look, I--
- I have a lot of work, so.
But I am sure that I will see you later.
- [David] There you go.
- Yeah, thanks man.
- Jason, please--
- Just play along.
I am so glad you decided to call!
- What are you doing?
I just told you that I--
- You are right, this was a great idea.
I can you leave if you would rather
hear more of Greg's poetry.
- They followed me!
- Should I stay or should I leave?
- Cheers!
- You must have a lot of work to do.
You know, why don't you come back another time?
- It worked.
I can't believe that worked!
- There really is no off button is there?
- No.
Unless we keep this up.
- Keep what up?
- This.
Pretending to date.
(Penelope laughs)
- You've got to be kidding me?
- No, if the grandma's think we're dating,
then maybe they'll stop introducing us
to every single person in the 20-year age range.
Come on, you know it'll work.
Just did.
- You and me, us,
fake dating after everything?
Mm-mm.
And what do you get out of it?
- What, other than peace and quiet?
I guess I could probably use some help
restoring the boat.
Okay, I have my reasons.
I just got out of a very serious relationship,
and as much as I appreciate my grandma's constant setups,
I'm not ready yet.
Dating you would buy me a little breathing room.
- Breathing room?
- Yeah, like time to reset.
- It's okay, I get it.
I really need time to focus on my project distraction free.
- Right.
Grandma Dot's big birthday bash.
75 years.
- Yeah, that too.
She does really want me to have a date.
- Whoa, whoa, what do you mean "that too?"
- Do you promise that this stays between us?
- I literally just told you my secret,
so yes, absolutely.
- I'm trying to publish a book.
- That's great!
Why is that a secret?
- I just, I don't want my family to know, okay?
There are a lot of revisions to do
and very little time and--
- This plan would be perfect.
Think about it, there's no more setups,
no more blind dates, no more broken sinks.
And it won't be like it used to
because we're just pretending.
It's just for the summer.
- Just for the summer?
- Just for the summer.

(Dot laughing)
♪ Some kind of magic, oh yeah
- Everybody's look at us
- That means it's working, right?
(Josie gasps)
- [Penelope] So, here we go.
- Hi!
- Oh hey!
- Oh, I had no idea!
So, when did it happen?
- At the park. - At the marina.
- At the park.
- [Jason] We kept running into each other,
it was what it was. - There's talking.
- Just so much to catch up on.
- Yeah, and we both find out that we still love sailing.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Yeah, Pen loves it.
It's actually her passion.
- Oh, I don't know if I'd say it's quite my passion.
- I thought you did.
- No, I didn't'.
- Well, we were going to sail around the lake
and fix up the boat together.
- We are?
- Yeah, that's what we talked about Penny.
Pen, right?
No distractions, get away.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- [Penelope] No distractions.
- Oh boy, you two sure played it coy.
(women laughing)
But you've finally come to your senses.
- Oh, you know.
- Yeah, oh, say,
why don't the two of you come with
Annabeth and me tomorrow to meet the caterer
for my birthday party?
- No, you.
Grandma we'd love to do that
but actually we have a date--
- Date, it's a date.
- Oh! - Wonderful.
- [Penelope] Yeah.
- What are you doing?
- [Penelope] What?
- On your date.
- We were going to go--
- Ballroom dancing!
- Right!
Actually, I meant to say, about that I was thinking--
- We're really excited about it, aren't we cookie?
- Cookie doesn't look that excited.
- He's just excited about that as I am about sailing.
- Right, we're,
we're so excited.
- Sailing?
- I thought you liked sailing.
- You like sailing, I only went 'cause you wanted me to.
And how am I supposed to get any work done
if I'm helping you on the boat?
- You'll write and I'll fix the sail.
We'll tell our grandmas we did it together.
- So I'm going to write on the dock.
That's a really great work environment.
- Well the real question is,
how are we possibly going to get
any work done with all this ballroom dancing we're doing.
- I panicked. (slow paced music)
- Now we actually have to go.
- No, we don't!
We can tell them we're going ballroom dancing,
but instead we are going to come down to the dock
and we're going to work.
- Well that's a great plan.
- I thought so.
- Great.
- Hi! (Penelope and Jason laughing)
(upbeat music)
- This one's hard.
- By the time we solve this,
it should be a piece of cake
to figure out where everybody's
going to stay for my party.
- Grandma.
How many people are coming to your party?
- Friends or relatives?
- And how many people are staying in this house?
- About a dozen.
- Oh, okay.
Well, we'll figure it out,
but I actually have to go meet Jason.
- A date.
Oh how exciting!
Don't you want to
wear something a little nicer?
- Oh, no, it's just dance.
It's like practically a workout.
I think I'm good.
- Remember we'd stay in the lake til our fingers wrinkled?
- Huh?
- When we were teenagers,
we lived in this lake.
- I'm sorry, I really need to focus right now.
- Sorry.
- We'd be shivering but we refused to get out of the lake.
- Feels like ages ago.
- We had a lot of fun.
- So Pen.
- Mm-hm?
- Tell me about the book you're writing.
Sorry.
I should let you work.
- No, no.
It's about a girl that's growing up in Michigan.
- You write what you know, huh?
Is that all you're going to tell me about it?
- You'll just have to wait and find out.
(slow paced music)
- At least tell my why you don't want
your family to know about it.
- If the deal goes through,
I'm going to dedicate it to my grandma
and give it to her for her birthday.
She's always been the biggest supporter of me
following my dreams.
I just hope that if this deal comes through
it happens before the party.
- That's really thoughtful.
You could still give her the book,
even if you haven't heard back from the publisher yet.
- No.
I've had too many rejection notices already.
I just, I can't risk telling her til it's certain.
It would be too embarrassing.
- She'd still be proud of you.
- With a failed book.
If this publisher passes and with all the
revisions that they're requiring,
they probably will, then it just wasn't meant to be.
- So you'd give up on your dream?
- I'd just be facing reality.
Look, I just really don't want
anybody to know right now.
- I get it.
You are going to try to make those revisions though right?
- I'm trying.
(slow gentle music)
- I missed summers out here on this lake.
Reminds me what my life was like
before my parents split up.
- [Penelope] Life really changed after that.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it was hard.
But then you just get used to the way things are.
New normal.
So you think.
I quit my job at McGill's.
I couldn't take it anymore.
I started working there because my parents
really wanted me to be
safe.
I didn't think it was going to be my life, you know?
I just wanted time.
I wanted time to figure out where I want to go next.
What I want to do.
- Hey.
- I brought you an herbal tea.
- Oh, thank you.
- You know, even though I like big birthday parties,
I don't like big surprises.
- I know, it's okay.
- If you say so.
You know, I remember when you were a little girl,
you used to sleep over here on weekends
and stay in this room.
- It feels like yesterday.
- I am so proud of you Pen, you know that right?
- I know.
- So, did you and Jason have fun today?
- Yeah, it was nice.
- Good.
I'll never forget cousin Richard's wedding.
- No!
Don't tell this again, please.
- You were about six-years-old
and there the two of you were,
standing up there all dressed up.
- I do remember.
- After Richard said "I do,"
Jason looked right at you
and clear as a bell said, "I do too."
- Yeah grandma, we were five.
That was a very, very, long time ago.
- Time is nothing on fate my dear.
What's meant to be will be.
- You are exactly right about that grandma.
- You know, I just want you to be happy Pen.
That's all.
And no matter what, I love you.
- I love you too.
- So, tomorrow morning for puzzles?
- Oh, you know it.
It's on.
- [Dot] Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
(window taps)
What on earth are you doing?
- You got to come see this?
- What are you talking about?
- I'll meet you out front.
- This is crazy.
(Jason laughs)
Okay.
What?
- I bet it's even better from the beach.
(slow gentle music)
- Oh wow.
- Biggest full moon I've ever seen.
- [Penelope] You know, you could've just texted me
instead of scaring me half to death.
- Some old habits never die.
So, is tonight the night you finally
tell me about this story I've been hearing about?
'Cause I'm dying to know.
- Maybe.
- Consider it a bedtime story?
(Penelope laughs)
- She finds these woods near the lake
that nobody knows about.
And she figures out that when
she's in these woods, time stops.
- Stops.
- Yeah. - Like completely?
- [Penelope] But only in the woods.
- Wow.
- Right.
So she decides that she's going to stay
because she's afraid of growing up.
- Well, that I can relate to.
Sorry, I'm getting into the story okay.
Does she ever find her way out?
- Well at first she makes life for herself there,
but then yes.
She musters the courage up and she leaves and goes home.
- Let me guess.
Everything's changed?
- Who's telling this story?
- I'm sorry.
- As I was saying,
she steps out of the woods
and time catches up fast.
She instantly becomes an adult.
She matures, she grows taller,
her face looks different.
She hadn't realized how long she'd been gone.
- Does she ever find her family?
- Yes, but they've all forgotten about her.
- That's a sad story.
- I know, it has a happy ending.
Or it will.
- What happens?
- You're going to have to read it to find out.
- Come on, there's no way you're doing that to me.
Come on.
- Okay but, seriously you will actually
have to wait to read it until I write it.
Or rewrite it.
That's one of the main revisions
the editor's insisting on.
- They didn't like your ending?
- Not one bit.
- Yeah.
Yeah, it doesn't feel finished.
- And you became a literary critic
somewhere along--
- I'm not saying I know what you meant.
- I was trying to show how when we grow up
we have to move on.
And she has to have the courage to face all of the--
- Well no, I get that people would have to move on.
I understand that,
but it seems weird that they would
actually forget about her.
- Yeah, I suppose.
- I think maybe it's kind of like
how people tend to remember others
at the age they last knew them.
Like our grandmas,
how they always remember us being in high school.
(both laughing)
- Yeah, they really do.
- So maybe somebody goes looking for her.
- Yeah, but what really draws me to this story
is how she builds this life for herself
and it's how she develops courage.
- So maybe he doesn't find her.
Maybe he gets lost too.
It's a way to show that she wasn't forgotten.
Maybe he doesn't find her until they both come back.
- And so she hadn't realized that he'd looked for her.
- Maybe.
It could happen.
I'm sure you've got a better solution than that.
- No, I actually think there's really something to this.
And I have to figure out how it effects
the rest of the story.
- Kind of feel like I just saw a light bulb
come on over your head.
- I think that's called the moon.
(Penelope laughing)
Well thanks for showing me.
- Yeah.
- Think I might go back to bed now.
(slow guitar solo)
- Goodnight.
♪ She was walking on the moon
♪ And then she said
♪ Don't you worry
♪ Along the road
- I just talked to my mom on the phone.
She says "Hi, love you,"
and they'll be here for Dot's birthday party.
- That's great honey.
I can hardly wait to see them.
Is that a full moon in the middle of a lake?
- No, I see it.
It's a daisy, right?
- Yeah!
Does it look all right?
- You should make a bunch of little ones
to go around the edges.
- That's not a bad idea.
- Didn't realize you turned your artistic
talents to pie dough.
- Oh, helping you bake pies
is one of my favorite memories.
Making a little extra pieces of crust into shapes.
Baking them in cinnamon and sugar.
- I do that every summer!
- Ooh, well I haven't done a lot of dough work since.
Okay.
Does that look like a daisy?
- You should be an artist.
- You should see his boat drawings.
- You draw boats?
- I once thought about designing sailboats for a living.
Still do it for fun sometimes.
- What happened?
- Well, my mom thought I should
pursue something more practical.
- [Lily] That's how you winded up working in the city?
- Exactly.
She suggested I pursue something
that allows me to afford my passions.
- That sounds like diet food.
- What?
- Like when you're biting into a chocolate chip cookie,
but all the good stuff is replaced with chemicals.
(Jason laughs)
- You're going to need to cover the edges.
- I don't remember you doing that.
- Well I didn't often bake with such artistry.
But when you do, you've got to manage the baking
so you don't burn all these lovely details.
- All right.
- Yay!
- See Jason, try as you might,
but you got nothing on grandma.
- Oh, is that so?
Well, if I were you I would start running.
'Cause I will catch you,
and when I do, I will throw you into that lake!
(Jason laughing) (perky music)
You think you're faster than me!
- [Lily] Yeah.
- [Jason] You are so far!
- [Lily] Like I said, you're too slow!
- Enough already. - Hi.
- [Dot] What are you working on so hard
during your vacation?
- Oh, you know, just all those lesson plans
and tests and things like that.
- You always were such a hard worker.
I don't mean to boast, but I think you get it from me.
- Oh, well I'm honored.
- Although, your grandpa was a hard worker too.
Did I ever tell you about the time we met?
- No, but he did.
He said he fell in love with you
the moment he set his eyes on you.
- Oh. - Yeah.
- [Dot] Well, it wasn't mutual.
I thought he was horrible.
He was arrogant and just plain rude.
- Oh.
Well he told me that you guys met at
the college bookstore buying textbooks.
- We did.
I reached up for the last biology book on the shelf,
but he was so tall he leaned over me and grabbed it first.
So I did a quick turn and a little elbow
and I thrust all the rest of my books in his arms
and I said, "If you're going to carry my biology book
"you might as well carry all my books."
- Oh, well what a spitfire.
I'm sure he fell in love with you right there.
- Naturally.
- So what happened?
- Well he started to talk back to me
but I put my hands on my hips
and I gave him the look.
- Oh, you already had your teacher face.
- Oh yeah.
And then his face burst into that grin he had.
But he saw I was having none of it.
(Penelope laughs)
So he marched all my books up to the cashier,
and then he just stood there, grinning.
I just thought he was rude.
- Okay, but, I know this part.
Didn't he walk you home with your books?
- Well, they were very heavy books, so yes.
I let him walk me home.
It's the least he could do.
- So what happened then?
- On the way he apologized
for not having noticed me.
And he said he had been working full-time to pay for school
and he was so tired.
But then he said he would never
not notice me again.
- Awe, that's really sweet.
So he wasn't that bad after all?
- Exactly.
So I gave him a chance.
You know, I'm thinking about him a lot lately.
Because of the party.
I wish he could be here for it.
- You know, I don't think grandpa would mind
if you met somebody.
- Hold on, I know where you're going.
- Maybe you are the person who needs
a date to your big birthday bash.
- And you went there? - George.
- [Dot] Missy, you leave the matchmaking to me.
Okay.
- [Penelope] Okay.
- Love you. - Love you too.
- [Penelope] Thank you.
- [Dot] Don't work too hard.
(Jason laughing)
- [Jason] You got to go faster!
Nice--
(Penelope gasps)
(both laughing)
- You startled me.
Sorry.
- Sorry about that.
Just thought I would bring you a snack while you worked.
- Oh, that's really sweet of you.
Thank you.
- Actually, your grandma saw you sitting out here
and insisted I bring it to you.
I shouldn't have said that.
I should've just taken the compliment shouldn't I?
- [Penelope] Well that's very sweet of her.
- They're eating the pie.
- That's great!
That's just great!
- I'm just going to sit here for another minute
because she's definitely still watching us,
but I promise not to bother you.
- Okay, thank you.
- I made the pie for myself,
but she insisted I bring it to you.
- Well you can eat it.
- Oh, I just,
I didn't want you to think I was like weird
just bringing you a random pie out of the blue.
- Gotcha.
- I remembered that you always like cinnamon
so I put a little bit in the crust,
but don't tell anyone.
That's a secret ingredient.
What's wrong with page 43?
- Absolutely everything.
- You really should try some of that pie
while it's still warm.
(Penelope sighs)
I'm sorry, I said I wasn't going to bother you
and I am.
- No, it's okay.
I really need to take a break
and here you are with pie.
- Okay.
- Aren't you going to slice it?
- Slices are for amateurs who like washing dishes.
(Penelope laughs)
- Okay.
You are definitely better at this than I am.
- Years of practice.
- Mm, that is so good.
Mm! (Jason laughing)
- Cheers.
- What are we cheersing to?
- You.
Your book, your book.
- Shh!
- Your book is going to be incredible.
- No it's not because it's probably
never going to happen.
- What makes you say that?
- Because now the editor wants me to change the setting,
apparently the woods are too spooky,
which I don't even get, but whatever.
I mean, maybe it's just time to throw in the towel.
- Oh, come on, don't say that.
You're going to figure something out.
- No, I really don't think I am.
I am way too attached to this story.
- Okay, look at it this way.
You're not changing the story because you're selling out.
You're changing the story because you want
other people to find the same joy in it that you do.
- Yeah, except that probably nobody's going to read it
because it's very hard for new authors that are starting out
and I am just,
I'm out of ideas for now at least.
- Have you tried hanging upside down?
- Excuse me?
- Okay, follow me.
When I'm stuck, I like to hang upside down.
It gets the blood moving to your brain,
it gets the ideas flowing.
- What are you doing?
- [Jason] I'm looking for a good place to hang.
- I'm not hanging upside down.
This is very serious.
- Okay.
Why don't we row out to the little island like we used to?
It might have the same effect, (slow gentle music)
I don't know.
- Okay.
- I'm coming back for you later pie.
All right.
Do you remember how to do this?
- Oh yeah, it's been a minute.
See?
- [Penelope] I'm very impressed.
- Okay, the woods are too spooky.
- Yeah.
But so is a cave and an old abandoned house.
It's just, it's really frustrating.
The setting is everything to the story.
- Well maybe it needs to be more personal then.
- Yeah, like some place that's normally really safe
until she gets to know this new side of it.
That could work, but where?
- When you told me about the story the other night,
it reminded me that we used to play
on that island when we were little kids.
(Penelope laughing)
- We used to spend so much time there.
That's perfect.
That's completely perfect.
A little island on the outside
and then this secret world on the inside.
(slow gentle music)
I hate to admit it,
you did kind of probably come up
with the perfect solution to my story.
- It's your dream,
I'm just here to support.
- Excuse me!
I don't mean to interrupt your date.
- Oh, it's okay.
Jason was just leaving.
- Oh no!
Well I'm sure he'd rather stay here and help us.
Wouldn't you Jason?
- What are we doing?
- Pen and Annabeth will be making party favors.
And you can help me address the event reminders.
- I don't remember the last time
I addressed an actual envelope.
- Well, it'll be fun.
- [Jason] It'll be fun.
- Oh, don't forget to put the glitter in
before you seal it.
- Right, right.
- Daisies.
- What?
- She likes daisies.
And ice cream, she loves ice cream.
- Oh.
Good to know. (Dot chuckles)
- Who's coming from Thailand?
- My life coach.
- Suddenly really glad you prefer Pen over Penelope.
(women laugh)
- Yeah.
Alexander is too long.
I'm going to go with Alex.
- I'd even go with Al.
- Well, leave it to grandma to come up
with the most extravagant party favor, ever.
- You know, Jason should be the one doing this.
He's the artist.
I couldn't believe it when I heard
that he's still working at McGill's.
- What do you mean?
- Oh, his passion was always drawing and design.
- I know that,
I mean, what do you mean "still working?"
- I just don't think making an investment banker
has ever made him happy.
- I mean, well he still has other things.
- You spend all this time with him
and you don't know what his interests are?
- Oh, no.
It's just that we've been
so busy talking about boats
and work and grandmas.
- Nice try.
What does Jason like to do on the weekends?
- What's with the third degree?
- You don't know do you?
- I do.
I told you, we've just been really busy
talking about other things.
- Like how you think you're fooling everyone?
- Does anybody else know?
- I'm the only one who suspects you.
As far as I know.
That's a rotten trick Pen.
- No, it's not like that.
We both just sort of,
we're just so sick of the matchmaking
and we needed a break.
- I get it.
And I can see it's actually a pretty brilliant plan.
- [Penelope] Right?
- It's definitely the only thing
that I can see working.
- [Dot] How's it going in there girls?
- Oh, great! - Almost done!
- [Annabeth] Yeah.
- So you won't tell?
- I'll keep your secret,
but just be really careful that no one gets hurt.
- No, I would never hurt the grandmas.
- I mean you or Jason.
(Penelope laughs)
- No, we're, oh no.
We are so, we are so clear that we are
not interested in a relationship.
You know?
- Okay.
But you two have history.
You should probably make peace about it.
And you should definitely get to know each other more
because high school was a long time ago
and you were completely different people back then.
- I guess you might be right about that,
but
you are writing Aunt Caroline's name
with an L-I-N-E
and not an L-Y-N?
(Annabeth groans) (Penelope laughs)
- [Annabeth] Took me forever to do this!
(gear cranking)
- Okay, I got the sail fixed.
Can't seem to get the mast stable.
- Heads up, Annabeth figured us out.
She wont' tell.
- I guess people are ready for level two dating then huh?
(Penelope laughs)
- Level two dating?
- Yeah, past the initial awkward stages.
Where the you and me become a we.
We're a us.
- I get it Jason.
All Annabeth was suggesting is that
we get down some of the simple facts.
Like what do you like to do on the weekends,
do you have pets?
You know, that kind of thing.
- That's definitely level two.
- It's funny because it feels like we know each other
but really we don't.
- You're a teacher and an aspiring writer
living in an apartment in the city.
Your favorite food is ice cream,
but I don't know what flavor.
On the weekends you like to read
and you're a coffee connoisseur.
- You've been paying attention.
- You like sailing and baking.
What happened to your art?
- I actually started drawing again recently.
I'm designing boats,
but just as an amateur.
- Oh, but have you ever considered doing it professionally?
- I'm not good enough for that.
Yet.
- What else?
- I have a cat.
My friends takes care of him while I'm gone.
- That's sweet.
- Yeah, he was a rescue.
He's got one kind of squinty eye.
His name's Popeye.
- Good name.
But Jason, you were so talented.
And you have always been such a hard worker,
there is no reason why you shouldn't pursue your dream.
- Not now.
It's not the right time.
- Why?
You don't have a career that you're
tied down to at the moment.
Really, you're free to do anything.
- There's something else you should probably know about me.
I was engaged.
- Oh.
Engaged like past tense?
- Most definitely past tense.
Turns out she loved the lifestyle
my job afforded us more than me.
- Must've been really devastating.
- It was.
Made me rethink everything in my life.
Question all my choices, again.
- Well,
we all need to adjust our sails sometimes.
Maybe you're just getting back on course.
- I see what you did there by the way.
- [Penelope] Yeah?
- Weaving everything back to sailing.
- Did you like that?
- [Jason] Yeah, it was good.
You're such an English teacher.
- Or a writer.
- Double trouble.
- I have to go help grandma with dinner,
but see ya later? (slow gentle music)
(door knocking) - [Jason] Anybody home?
- Hey!
Just a second.
- You're working hard.
- Yeah, ever since our brainstorming session
the ideas have been flowing.
- Really?
That's great!
- What is it?
- I just wish you'd tell her.
- If the deal goes through I'm going to tell her,
but it just doesn't mean anything
if it doesn't get published.
- Yes it does.
It means everything.
- Hello my little lovebirds.
Are you here to help decorate for the party?
- Oh, I think we were--
- Actually, I was thinking we could
go set up the boom today.
If you're interested.
- But if you need my help grandma,
I can stay and help you.
- Oh, no, don't worry.
Aunt Caroline's coming over.
You two go have fun.
- We don't actually have to go,
I just know you need time to write.
- No, actually I'd really like some air.
- Great.
Come on.
(tense music)
Okay, hold her steady.
Wow.
Okay, this is not my strong suit.
- [Penelope] You can't give up, you're so close now.
- Don't know what else to try.
- Is there some place around here
that you can hang upside down and get the blood flowing?
Or maybe--
- Oh!
Whoa.
- Whoa?
- No, no, no, I know this look.
No, don't you dare.
- Have you been in the lake yet this summer?
It could really help.
- You're feeling brave huh?
You push me in, I'm taking you with me.
- Fine.
Fine.

I really loved these.

That took up a lot of my time.
- I can't believe how many you made of these.
- Yeah.
- Are these your designs?
- Yeah, yeah.
Some of these are pretty old.
- These are beautiful.
- Thank you.
- These are really good.
You should submit these somewhere.
- I'm not nearly as bold as you are Pen.
(Penelope laughs)
No, I'm serious.
I look at you now and you are publishing a book.
That's really inspiring.
I always kind of felt like you were
the courageous one between the two of us.
(Penelope laughs)
- What? - What?
- [Penelope] You're serious right now?
- [Jason] Yeah.
- No, you were the person that was
always getting me to do the very stupid, crazy things.
Like, oh, sailing.
Or that one time you made me walk on
a very frozen lake.
- It was not a wise choice.
- No, it was very
courageous and
I did it because of you.
- Well I did it because of you.
I always kind of felt like I was more when I was with you.
After high school,
I really wanted to find you
and explain or try to explain.
- What do you mean?
- I really thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
Graduation was coming up
and I was freaking out about my future
and my parents had gotten a divorce.
I didn't really
have a good idea of what a relationship should be.
- I mean, it could have been nice to find
something in the middle between all and nothing, but--
- I did finally realize my mistake.
I looked you up and came back that summer.
- Wait.
Wait you came back here to...
- Kept a pretty low profile, but I saw you.
You were with that guy.
- Kyle?
You just up and left unexpectedly
and disappeared and never explained.
Was I just supposed to be waiting around for you?
- No, no I didn't expect you to wait for me, I--
- Relationship, talk to me,
instead of disappearing again.
- Would it have made a difference?
- Yeah, well...
I mean it might have back then.

You should give this to her as a birthday gift.

- For a sketch of this quality,
I can go as high as say
a buck 50.
- This drink cost twice that.
- Yeah, but that's branding.
You're a new artist, and if I'm not mistaken,
this is your first sale.
- It doesn't sound like it's your first time buying.

It's like the only thing you ever ate after school.

- He...
- Yes, he's what?
- Nevermind, look at this.
- Don't change the subject.
You know, considering the history between you two--
- It's not all good history.
- And that you spend every minute
of the last two weeks together.
- Not every minute.
- It's totally understandable
that you've developed feelings for him.
- I told you, we are just becoming friends again.
- Admit it, it's more than that.
Have you told him how you feel?
- I don't think that we're looking
for the same things right now.
- Of course you are.
You know, you can't just wait
for the universe to do everything for you.
Or grandma.
If you want something, you got to go out
and you got to get it.
But you know that.
- See, I do have this,
this sense of knowing him.
Like really deeply knowing him,
but then on the other hand I feel like
I don't know him at all.
So far every time he has come into my life
and every time I have started to care about him
he's disappeared.
Abruptly.
So how am I supposed to know that this time
would be any different
and he's not pretending
and that maybe he would actually stick around?
- Well he does keep coming back into your life.
- Just because he's the boy next door
doesn't mean that we are fated to be together.
- It's because you bring out the best in each other.
That's why you belong together.

- [Man] We can't do that okay.
It's so dark in here.
- [Woman] Okay, well hold me.
(everyone gasping)
(film clicking)
- [Man] Look, I know it's only been a few weeks,
but I'm having very strong feelings for you.
But your parents.
- I can't believe that Jason put all
this together for grandma.
Why didn't we think of doing something like this?
It's so much fun.
- He's a really good guy.
- He likes you.
Actually it's pretty clearly more than like.
- I told you--
- Especially flavored homemade ice cream.
And that's not pretending.
I'm just saying.
I think you should tell him how you feel.
- What did I miss?
- Well, this ice cream is amazing.
- Hey, you're the one brave enough to try it.
- Speaking of brave.
- Excuse me!
Jason.
- One second.
- Yeah.
Well, I guess there will be another time.
(upbeat music)
(Jason laughing)
- [Jason] I can't believe it's finally done!
(Penelope screams)
- [Penelope] That's so awesome!
- Is there any word about... - Are going to...
- [Penelope] I'm sorry.
You go first.
- Any word from your publisher yet?
- No, not yet.
And I think that this waiting might actually
be harder than writing a novel.
- Yeah.
Well I hope I delivered on my pledge to help.
- You really did.
This has all been so helpful.
This lake, the quiet.
You.
I've really been able to focus.
I just wish that I could stay here forever.
- Yeah.
I get that.
So I submitted a blueprint
to the boat design competition.
- Yay, Jason!
I'm so proud of you!
- Yeah, we'll see what happens.
Either way, I'm going to pursue it further.
I even looked up some contacts
and some classes that might help me.
- That's awesome.
- Yeah, and I couldn't,
I wouldn't have done it without you.
Like I said before, you really inspire me.
You,
you had something to say.
And I interrupted you.
I'm so sorry, please. - Right.
- [Penelope] It's just,
it's about getting to know you again this summer.
- You really helped me.
- I haven't--
- No, no, no, you have.
After Michele called off our engagement,
I guess I was just shocked
about how blindsided I got.
And then I had this realization.
It wasn't her fault, it was me.
'Cause I had been on autopilot for a really long time.
I needed to figure out what made me happy.
So our pretend arrangement has given
me the time to do that.
- Totally, I get that.
- There was something you wanted to say?
I'm not going to interrupt again.
- I just wanted to say I'm really happy
that we're friends again.
- Me too.
Shall we head back?
- Yeah.
(slow gentle music)
- So.
- Yes.
- How's Pen?
I knew it!
- Knew what?
- Jason grinned.
- So?
- You love her!
He loves her.
- He always has dear.
- No, it's not--
- Come on!
I know, you know, Grandma knows.
Everyone knows!
- Lily dear, I forgot the lemon for the tea.
Would you go get it?
- Sure thing grandma,
but I can't wait until I'm old enough
to stick around for these conversations.
- We're better off as friends.
- You and Pen need to take your relationship
to the next level.
I promise, it won't be like Michelle.
- I thought I was in love before.
- But you can trust Pen.
- I don't trust myself.
It doesn't matter though,
Pen and I, you know,
we're not meant to be.
- That's crazy talk.
The two of you--
- No, we had a chance at a point, but it's over.
And Pen, she's got this great life
and these goals that she's pursuing and...
You know what, I am actually glad that we're friends.
Anything more than that would just complicate things.
I would never forgive myself if I hurt her again.
- What'd I miss?
(slow gentle music)
- [Annabeth] Pen?
- Hey.
- The sun's setting, the party's starting.
Don't tell me you're working again.
- Oh, I was just checking on an update about my present.
- Well what is it?
- It's nothing.
I was hoping...
You know, we should get going.
(light gentle upbeat music)
- Oh hey Chad!
Oh look, there's grandma!
Grandma!
What?
- He's so cute! - He's so cute!
- [Annabeth] I'm going to go see Chad.
Go find Jason.
- Yeah.
Mom, hey!
- Sweetheart!
- [Penelope] You made it.
- Traffic was a disaster but I'm finally here.
- I was starting to worry.
- I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Now, what are these rumors that I'm
hearing about you and Jason?
- They're just rumors.
You know, how grandma loves to play matchmaker.
- [Mother] Is that a champagne fountain?
- Oh yes, most definitely.
- Mom really outdid herself.
- Oh hey, have you seen Jason?
- Nope, haven't seen him.
- Have fun.
- Hey, are you okay?
- Have you seen
Liam?
- Who is that?
- That might be Grandma Dot's birthday present.
- He's a little young, but.
- Hey!
- Sorry to interrupt your grandmother's party.
- No, don't be sorry.
What's up?
- I drove out here because
I wanted to tell you personally
because I know how hard you've been working.
- [Penelope] Just tell me already.
- Congratulations Penelope.
(Penelope screams)
- What?
- [Penelope] This is--
- Champagne!
- Yes, yes!
- Okay but, would somebody tell me what's going on?
- I got to find her soon.
Jason!
- Jason!
- Honey, what's happened?
- I'm not really sure.
- Well, where did Jason go?
Did you two have a fight?
The relationship was going so well.
- Grandma I'm really sorry to have to do this to you,
but I need to tell you something.
- Should I sit down?
- [Penelope] Yeah.
- [Dot] Okay.
- Jason, why aren't you coming to the party?
- I am really trying to do the right thing right now.
- Honey, it would seem to me the right thing
is to come to the party.
- I love her.
- I know!
But I'm not the one you have to tell.
- Grandma, there's.
You don't understand, there's so much more going on.
And I won't be the guy who gets in the way
of Pen pursuing her dreams.
- Jason, I don't completely understand
but I do know that if you don't come back to the party
and tell her how you feel, you'll regret it.
The two of you have been dating
and it's so clear--
- Yeah, Grandma, about that.
I have a confession to make.
- Jason and I wanted to make you and Josie happy.
And full disclosure,
give ourselves a bit of a break and
we've been pretending--
- To date.
Yes, we know.
It's all part of the plan my dear.
- The plan?
- Well Josie and I knew that the two of you
would never come together
unless you thought it was your idea.
And we knew you'd never get around to it,
so we just gave it a little--
- Push?
- Nudge.
- Wait.
The pharmacist, the bakery,
the kitchen sink, all of it?
- Oh, even the broken mast on the boat.
- All part of--
- Bringing you two together.
Yes dear.
- Grandma I'm so so glad
that you are on my side.
And you have a, dare I say,
a cunning and devious streak in you, don't you?
- I'd make a good spy.
But I prefer to be a grandma.
- Hey, there's a party going on you know.
Sorry, do you need more time?
- No, actually, you should probably
hear this next part.
So Jason and I were pretending but
I actually fell for him.
I have feelings for Jason.
And as you can clearly see
he does not have those same feelings for me.
- Oh that's nonsense!
All you need to do is just give him a chance.
- [Penelope] I have given him a chance.
- Can you give me another.
- I thought you were leaving?
- I was going to.
I thought you were just pretending.
I don't want to complicate things for you
and I never want to hurt you ever again.
And I know that you need your space
and you have your dreams, but,
it's never been pretend for me Pen.
From when we were little kids to just now.
I always thought of this place as home,
but it didn't feel like that until you got here.
It's always been you Pen.
And it's always been real.
And if it's real for you too
then I'm never leaving.
- Really?
Because it is so real.
- I love you Pen.
- I love you too, Jason.
(everyone gasping)
- Yeah!
- I have one more confession.
- [Dot] Oh, what else is there?
What else could there be!
- It's about your birthday present.
- Oh okay, that I don't know anything about.
- Well good, good.
So,
this is Liam, he's my editor.
- [Josie And Dot] Oh!
- I wrote a book
and it's getting published!
- Yes, congratulations!
- That is wonderful!
- And,
grandma, I dedicated it to you.
And it says, "To my matchmaking Grandma Dot.
"Having you as my grandma has been a match made in heaven."
I am so thankful
you have loved me beyond all measure
and all doubt.
I love you.
- I love you too!
Congratulations.
