The Date Whisperer

Oh, you've never been to Alaska?

My favorite is Juneau.

The hiking is incredible.

You have to get up there.

It's amazing, like, breathtaking.

They have these pine forests

that seem so dense.

Ugh, you're so dense.

But then, when the sun hits just right,

it creates these ribbons of light.

Seriously, "ribbons."

- It's-- - Mm, gross?

Perfect.

Wow.

This has been...

really nice.

- You're... - Mm, lame? Boring?

Gini, did you hear that story about his mom

embarrassing him with baby photos?

Clearly, loads of family trauma there.

Amazing.

"Amazing."

What? No. No, Gini.

This one is going to dump you like a sack of potatoes

the minute his mom disses your cooking.

I'm sorry. This one's a dud.

We should do this again sometime.

Fat chance.

- I would-- - I'd love to.

What? No. No, no, no, no, Gini.

Gini, I'm your date whisperer,

and I'm telling you

that this clingy mama's boy is bad news.

- You look beautiful. - I do?

Ooh.

Oh, you do not know where those lips have been.

Gini, uh-uh.

Could you excuse me for a second?

Yes.

Sam,

what are you doing?

I'm eating trail mix.

This is the best date I've had in months!

You're supposed to be helping me.

You're supposed to be the best date whisperer there is.

Why are you ruining this?

Ru--no, Gini.

I'm saving you. He's awful.

No, you're awful.

And you're also fired.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Gini, Gini, Gini, I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. Let's just give this a--

no, Gini!

Another one, Sam?

What happened this time?

Well, I mean, he kept talking about wanting to

take her to the pine forest in some mountains somewhere.

I mean, what if he was a serial killer,

and she was his next victim?

I might have just saved her life.

He's a park ranger.

Yeah, but you know anyone can say they're a park ranger.

This isn't a joke, Sam.

This is your job.

People come to us, rely on us

to help them through their first few crucial dates.

Love and Whispers has built a reputation

on being the best of the best in live date coaching,

and you, Sam, you were our top whisperer.

What happened?

I know your parents splitting up has been hard.

But you've got to pull yourself together.

I know. I know. I know.

Breanna, I am-- I really am so sorry.

One more chance, Sam.

And if your next client doesn't connect

with the person of their dreams

within our standard three dates,

I'm going to have no choice but to fire you.

- Fired? - Mm-hmm.

But you are the best whisperer that we have.

Ah, yeah. No, was.

Yeah, she made that painfully clear.

- OK, so what are you gonna do? - I don't know, Jen.

I--I can't afford to lose this job, but it's like,

I can't shake off this funk, you know?

It's like, I just I-- I see myself out there,

and I'm just like tearing into these guys,

and I'm just like, "Sam, no!"

Wait. OK, so confusion.

Are you like trapped in a well in this scenario and just--

No, not a well. I was--

I was going for, like, a slow motion thing,

like, "Sam, no."

Oh, like--so you like, "Sam."

OK, stop.

Jen, what am I gonna do about this?

Um, well, tonight--

tonight, you're gonna have fun.

What? Why am I--

Yeah, yeah, no. I forgot about that.

Sam, you forgot? Come on.

It's your dad's engagement party.

- You're his best woman. - Yeah.

No, I know. It's just--

it's all happening really fast, you know?

Six months ago, he was married to my mom.

We were a family, and now it's--

I know. I know.

It's--it's a lot of change really quick.

Your mom is now in Florida with her boyfriend,

and your dad is engaged to a gorgeous,

gorgeous fashion designer.

And everyone is happy,

except for you, so.

You're still gonna come, right?

Of course, I'm still gonna come. Come on.

You know I wouldn't miss a chance to embarrass myself

in front of LA's fashion elite.

Thank you.

I wouldn't miss it.

Um, I--I feel like I should've worn the other dress.

Hmm? Mm, maybe a little Bo Peep-ish.

Oh, Jen. There he is.

He's literally looking right at me.

- I know, it's your dad-- - Sammy Bear.

- Sammy Bear. - Hi, just--just Sam is fine.

And Jen.

I'll take "Jenny Bear."

Hi.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Uh, could you come over and talk to Frankie?

He's over there talking to his fashion friends,

and you would really save me from all that

"what's new this season" talk.

Oh, yes, I would love that.

Wait, at first, we're gonna grab a drink from the bar.

But we'll be over in a second.

OK.

Sam, I really want to just go pretend to matter

in the world of fashion.

Jen, I need a drink, OK?

OK, fine.

I'm trying, but literally I can't keep smiling.

- Hi. - Hi.

Um--

Hi, hi, sorry.

Sorry, I--it's for the grooms. Promise, promise.

Can I get two apple rhubarb coolers, please?

Cool, cool.

What's in that?

Yeah, I'm not a bartender.

I'm a waiter.

Not even really a waiter, actually.

I'm an actor, so.

Oh, jeez.

No sweat, pal. It's apple juice,

apple cider vinegar, just a dash,

then sparkling rhubarb soda,

and a stem of ginger.

You're good to go.

That's wrong.

I'm sorry. What's that now?

- What? - Did you say something?

Well, I was just saying it's the syrup

from a jar of stemmed ginger, not the actual stem.

I mean, that would be a choking hazard.

I mean, so is ice.

I mean, the syrup is just sugar.

It's clearly the root.

I'm sorry. I'm not the one who's wrong.

- You are. - Oh, no.

I'm sorry.

- Um, excuse-- - I'm-- - I'm what?

Wrong.

Do you guys just maybe, like, want a soda

- or something-- - Um, no, it's the syrup.

OK, it's the root, and I would bet money on it.

Oh. Why bet money?

If I'm right, you can drink all the syrup in the jar.

And if I'm right, you can eat all the ginger roots.

So many antioxidants to keep you from

feeling sick over losing.

Jen?

It's the syrup.

You guys are so weird.

- OK. - You heard--

- I think I said syrup, right? - It's getting a little weird.

- I did say that. - Double or nothing.

Nope. I am happy with my win, thank you.

- Oh, your win? - Two sodas.

Got it.

You know what? Triple or nothing.

Come on, anything you want to bet on.

I'm really good. Thank you.

- There. - Thank you.

- Thanks. Here you go, Jen. - Thank you.

This is for me, and, um--

and that's for you. Enjoy.
