Younger

So let's talk about the 2011

White House Correspondents' dinner.

Do you think maybe you trolled Donald Trump

into running for president?

Uh honestly,

the most memorable part

of that night for me was...

was knowing that the president had just authorized

a secret raid to take out bin Laden.

And watching all these people

who are gonna have to report on it

at the break of dawn

just get wasted.

I actually remember that night very, very well.

Um, do you have any plans on going back to D.C.?

No, I'm happy doing the podcast and consulting.

You know, I'm definitely hoping to find some time

later this year to write a memoir.

Kelsey... Lorraine... Peters!

Lauren, you gotta knock.

You got onto Yara.

Why do you have my phone? You got onto Yara!

Dude, it's the dating app you have to apply for.

Okay, I... I did not apply.

Oh, my God, know me better, please.

Come on. I applied for you.

Okay, look, we have Wall Street.

Wall Street. Ooh, DJ? Oh, my God.

This looks like every other terrible dating app.

Yo, some of us need to shower.

Kelsey got onto Yara. Wow.

Wait, this is like Tinder for the Illuminati, right?

Yes, and she's acting like she's too cool for it.

I am not! I need ten more minutes to get ready.

Wait, wait! Will you just swipe a little bit?

Ah. Okay, no.

Look at those eyes. Oh, hi there.

Uh. Thi... this is Anna.

Kelsey just got onto Yara, the dating app.

Oh, the celebrity one?

Yeah. That's so cool.

Okay, okay, I need to finish getting ready.

This is going to be so much fun.

Oh, it already is! It's so fun.

Oh, can I pee, like, really quick?

Big news.

"People" magazine wants to do a feature

on "Marriage Vacation."

Oh, that's so great!

About Charles and Pauline getting back together.

Wow. They even want to pay

for a vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii.

Oh. My gosh, that's amazing.

Don't think you'll be going. Hm.

I just heard about "People" magazine.

Oh. We are so excited.

That's not happening.

Pauline and I are

getting a divorce.

What? Oh, Charles.

I am so sorry.

Uh, what are we going to do about the book tour?

It starts tomorrow.

Everything goes forward as planned.

I was never part of the publicity.

Not officially, but the book

has been gaining momentum because people thought

it resulted in the author and her husband

getting back together.

I don't know what to say, Diana.

I'm not going to live my life to fit the novel.

So Obama's former speechwriter, Jake Devereux,

is making the rounds with a memoir,

and I think it would be great "get" for Millennial.

Or Empirical. Now, I've been planning

on going after Devereux for weeks.

Who doesn't love a planner, but I actually

have a meeting set with him tomorrow in D.C.

So do I. Maybe you should think about cancelling yours.

Work together. Jake Devereux's book will be big.

So whoever gets him,

it'll be a win for the company.

And I mean, can you believe this timing?

Just as the book about our marriage comes out,

he wants a divorce.

Are you okay?

I don't know. I guess.

I'm mostly just focused on how everyone else

is going to react to the news.

The girls, you two,

everyone who's gonna come hear me read.

It's none of their business. I made it their business.

People are gonna want to know

how's the real life Kate and Karl?

Say they're doing great, never been better.

So lie?

Postpone the truth.

At least until you make

the "New York Times" Best Seller List.

What do you think, Liza?

I, uh...

I think, once you've created a story,

other people want to believe it as much as you do.

So true. Honesty can be very self-indulgent.

I don't know. I'm a terrible liar.

Just talk about your relationship when it was good.

It's really just a lie of verb tenses.

We could practice.

Okay.

Uh, let's see. When it was good?

Ah, this is gonna make me sad.

Well...

He used to write me these...

He... writes me

these little love poems on sticky notes

and puts them in the book I'm reading.

That's a good one.

Yeah.

And when we go to the country

in the summer

we always make love outside.

Aw.

And now we're never going to make love again.

That's enough. Very, very good.

You probably don't need to get that detailed.

The bottle.

Hi.

How are you?

Um. I'm, uh... I'm fine.

I was, um, surprised to hear about you and Pauline.

I guess maybe I thought it was working out.

This must be really tough on you and the girls.

Actually, it has been tough.

Anytime you need me, I'm here.

Uh, I mean, not here here. I know this isn't a good place.

Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's not.

How about we get together after Pauline's book tour?

There is a lot that I want to talk to you about.

Of course.

I look forward to it.

"And that night at the dinner table

"in front of the kids,

"he took my hand,

"and for the second time in our relationship,

"he proposed."

Thank you, Pauline.

What a special treat for us

having you hear at Temple Israel.

Well, thank you so much for having me.

Ooh, I see a lot of familiar faces in the crowd

who can't wait to get up and ask questions.

Please, queue up at the microphone.

Ooh.

Goodness.

Hi, Pauline. Fern Hirsch. Hi, Fern.

Can you talk a little bit about the process?

My writing process? No.

The process of getting back together with your husband.

Oh, um.

Smile. I, um...

Um...

Um, you know,

working together brought us closer.

I think we were able to really

rediscover ourselves as partners.

You didn't seem like strangers after all of that time apart?

I know I would. Suddenly it's the Fern show.

You know, sometimes sex is better with a stranger.

I think she'll be better one-on-one.

She has to be.

Pauline Turner Brooks,

thank you for being on Bookworm.

Thank you, Michael, and I'm so sorry

I couldn't join you in LA. As am I.

Well let's jump right in. What a story.

It's like fiction meets memoir.

Yes. Yes, but mostly fiction.

Well, the way you talk about your husband

and your life together,

they say that God is in the details.

Or the devil, depending on who you ask.

Well may I ask, how is your real-life relationship?

You just did. We knew he would.

Oh, it's...

Um...

It's, uh...

Land the plane, land the plane.

It's... good.

It's really good.

Okay, I think she's got this.

You wrote in your book
