Younger

- Hey. - Hey.

You made it.

What's so important you couldn't text?

Ooh, they have champagne here?

They only had the champagne of beers.

- Mm. -

What are we celebrating?

I got this crazy call today.

This magazine wants me to be

in their "Young Creatives" issue.

Oh, that's great. Congrats.

- Oh, thanks. - What's the magazine?

"T Magazine"?

- Josh. - Hmm?

You're gonna be in "The New York Times"?

- Tell me everything! - Okay, okay.

Uh, so this creative director, Greta Lin... she called me.

She's, uh, curating the issue.

She wants to hang out for a few days,

get to know me, talk, do a little photo shoot.

She's coming to see the band tomorrow,

so do you want to come interrupt me

when I say dumb stuff?

Josh, do you read "The New York Times"?

They have fact-checkers...

People whose entire job it is

to pry into your record and dig up every single mundane thing.

- Okay. - And they're obsessed with age.

"Mrs. Clinton, 67. Ms. Theron, 40."

- Okay. - You might as well call it

"'The New York Times' How Old Are You?"

- Okay. - I...

You don't have to come.

Let's go find some real champagne.

- - Okay.

I just can't believe

everyone is so excited about a sample chapter.

A great sample chapter...

from a PhD who specializes

in drop-kicking lazy 20-somethings

out of their parents' rec room and into adulthood.

Everyone here can smell a hit.

"The Deciding Decade"...

It's gonna be a monster.

Excuse me.

Aren't you Diana Trout's assistant?

- Hi, Cheryl. - Is she here?

I didn't see Empirical on the sign-in sheet.

I'm here with Millennial Print.

Kelsey Peters, thi... Cheryl Sussman.

- Oh. - It's nice to meet you.

Millennial Print...

You really are shameless.

Got to run. Take care.

You know, you may be able to fool a few morons at Empirical,

but Dr. Wray psychoanalyzes 20-somethings for a living.

Hashtag "good luck."

Your waiting room is full of out-of-touch 40-somethings

who only understand your book conceptually.

We are living our deciding decade right now.

We totally relate to your book.

And we can sell it.

Your case studies were made for BuzzFeed listicles,

and your podcast will blow up even bigger

once we Periscope it during the rollout.

How old are you two, may I ask?

I'm turning 27 tomorrow.

Yep, right about the same.

And you're running an imprint.

I've worked really hard to get here.

I interned every summer in college,

and I started with Empirical

just three days after graduation.

Doesn't sound like much time for a personal life.

I've dated my boyfriend for two years.

And the marriage track?

Kids?

Um...

we haven't discussed that

in any, uh, real, official terms...

yet.

All right.

Just make sure you know what you want

and then make sure he can give it to you.

Beware the no-criteria relationship.

It may seem fun at 26, but you string enough of those together,

and then suddenly you're 39, and you're asking your niece

to set up a Hinge profile for you.

Okay, was that a pitch meeting or a therapy session?

Why have we not been freaking out about our futures more?

I am turning 27 tomorrow!

Hey, you did great in there.

And she's wrong about Thad.

I've met his parents, his brother.

I'm meeting his boss tonight at this charity thing.

Are you worried about the book or your timeline?

'Cause there is no perfect plan to getting your life right.

There's always compromises.

Compromises or excuses?

We don't always know what's coming.

Okay, there was this girl that I knew growing up.

She had this perfect plan. She got married.

She landed this great job right out of college,

and then she got pregnant,

and motherhood turned out to be overwhelming...

Okay, okay, this is the most boring, clichéd story

I've ever heard.

Actually, it was very complex.

Okay, so, when you meet my boss,

you don't have to say much, okay?

- He's not big on small talk. - I know how to behave.

Okay.

Whoo, there he is... Ethan Foster.

He bought mortgage-backed securities in 2008...

Huevos.

Oh, God. He's coming. Just be cool.

You're the one talking about his huevos.

Ethan, hi. Uh, good to see you, sir.

- This is my girlfriend, Kelsey. - Hi.

Wow. As beautiful as advertised.

Thank you.

Let me guess...

- You work in fashion. - Publishing.

I just launched a new imprint for 20-something readers.

Oh, congratulations.

And what are the millennials reading nowadays?

Are they reading?

I just heard an amazing pitch from a psychologist, actually,

whose book is basically a guide to your 20s.

Well, you'll have to let me know the release date.

I've got a 19-year-old I want to scare straight

before he starts a nonprofit.

I sent the sample chapter to Thad.

- You'll send it to him? - Uh, ye-yes, sir.

Oh, terrific.

- Well, nice to meet you, Kelsey. - Nice to meet you.

- Uh, please excuse me. - Of course.

- -

Babe, you killed that.

Yeah.

Ooh, Olay antiaging moisturizer.

I need all the help I can get.

I ran into Cheryl Sussman today.

She-devil.

Ugh. It was a long day in the 20-something minefield.

Don't forget your neck.

- Who's that? - Oh.

- Land mine. - _

Josh is being followed around for this article.

- _ - Hey, what do creative directors do exactly?

Other people's coke, mostly.

- _ - What article?

This "Young Creatives" issue in "The Times."

Seriously? That's huge.

Right? I can't get near that.

And Josh is okay with that?

He's fine. We talked.

Oh.

- Excuse me. - Hey, whoa, whoa.

Hey, calm down. What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Look, I'm locking down your birthday gift, okay?

That's Karra... Two Rs,

but she might be willing to add a third.

Are you serious?

- A three-way? - Yeah.

That moment where I dazzled your boss... that happened, right?

I wasn't hallucinating?

Because I skipped lunch to fit into this dress.

You look super hot, okay?

That's all you care about, isn't it?

I could be any girl in this room right now.

You know what? Dr. Wray's right.

This is a no-criteria relationship.

A what?

The sample chapter that I sent you three days ago,

you know, of the book that I really need to land.

You're mad because I didn't read some dumb chapter?

No, I'm not mad.

I'm just seeing everything a lot more clearly.

Jeez, are... are you, like, ragging it right now?

You know what? You need to grow up.

And I can't waste any more time waiting for you to do that.

There you are.

I wanted my wife to meet Kelsey.

Yeah, I was... I was just looking for her.

Well, find her...

and don't let her get away.

That girl is something special.

Yes.

Josh, over here. A little bit more.

That's hot.

One more.

- Look right. - Good.

Hey.

- How's it going? - It's good.

It's good.
