00:34:37you bring up a good point brent but i'm gonna go ahead and say
00:34:42poker yes yes poker is not a kids game you don't have to gamble with money we can play with snacks

00:34:58teach these kids how to play a little bit of poker well you'll have to teach me how to play
00:35:01too but i'm down for whatever please aunt maggie it'd be fun sure tonight is gonna be epic
00:35:10epic okay we bet two more pretzels one two what do you want to do you want to call raise fold

00:35:27round only two more we call a pair is like the worst hand ever right ever you're not supposed
00:35:35to tell people what your hand is oh right well do i get to eat my pretzels if i vote no no
00:35:40bummer i fold fold okay and the river this game is so weird maggie and brie what's day ye
00:35:55yeah we're in call do you think we should risk any more pretzels sir i don't think so sir
00:36:02call do you ladies remember what the order of all the hands are
00:36:06just play your cards all righty then read them and weep full house we win we have a flush
00:36:13nope a full house beats a flush sorry brie looks like josh gets to eat all the pretzels
00:36:18a full house doesn't beat a straight flush bam
00:36:26i'm impressed i thought you were a little too proper for poker
00:36:30the name of the game is texas holden who wants to play another round me please so in the industry
00:36:36the process is known as air bumping we use these high pressure hoses to clean out the system you
00:36:42would not believe the kind of damage common lint causes to the filters air bumping it's really
00:36:47cool so they're in bed but the only way i got them to stay there was by promising we'd play
00:36:53poker tomorrow babysitter of the year award
00:36:59so you two have known each other since college oh and you both graduated impressive you didn't
00:37:06go to college amber no i never liked school and you don't need to go to college to work retail
00:37:11do you like your job amber i like using the discount to buy cute clothes
00:37:16uh so brent where did you go to college i got a business degree from a community college
00:37:23i didn't have a lot of interest in the whole college experience really yeah living with a
00:37:28bunch of sloppy immature kids who are goofing around trying to figure out what they want to
00:37:34do with the rest of their lives not for me i've been working with my dad since i was 13 years old
00:37:41always knew i would take over the business so you've basically been a dry cleaner since
00:37:45childhood yes i have it really shows thank you yeah well i really loved college i learned so
00:37:55much i met such great people it was honestly the best time of my life sloppy immature kids and all
00:38:04yeah and even though i had a blast in college i wasn't so immature i had an a average all four
00:38:08years oh i didn't know i was dating such a brain you didn't have an a average i did and an
00:38:14engineering and yet you're not an engineer yeah it was too stuffy for me it took too long to make
00:38:20something happen and then my senior year one of our fraternity pledges jumped off the kitchen
00:38:24counter fell on a table it was this like monster 12 seater that is the exact kind of behavior that
00:38:29i'm glad i've missed and all the guys they wanted to use the dues to plan parties and trips rather
00:38:34than buy a new table so i built one from scratch and i was hooked so yeah college was definitely
00:38:42one of the best times of my life i met ethan i got to pick on maggie but if i would have known
00:38:48you're such a good poker player maybe i wouldn't have been so hard on you yeah well it's getting
00:38:56late isn't it oh no yes only 11 all the good places they stay open till two i am sure that
00:39:02is true but i have a couple of kids to look after so yeah she has a really important meeting
00:39:08tomorrow so we should probably wrap this up amber i'll walk you up thank you alex
00:39:24hey there you are so brent didn't want you to forget this
00:39:28and i know you're buttoned up but this is very conservative even for you oh stop but it's
00:39:32bree's dress for the dance speaking of which you know i'm chaperoning her right yes so you're
00:39:37gonna have to spend the entire time with josh alone i will try not to lose him in the house
00:39:44this is really cute i remember my first school dance i was in grade six and i went with troy
00:39:52he was the seventh grade treasurer so you've always been attracted to the flashy types i see
00:39:58brent is a little subdued yeah that's a word for it you can talk well come on amber's very
00:40:06nice
00:40:11i'm gonna take off i uh have some errands to run before work tomorrow okay okay
00:40:17uh wait yeah you're not gonna help me clean up it's okay uh you can wait
00:40:26so
00:40:46good day yesterday huh you sold everything uh let's just say everything's out on loan right now
00:40:57so we'll just explain why the office is so unimpressive i mean it's no reflection on
00:41:02getawayforus.com or me or our future right i mean hopefully jane and steve are looking at the bigger
00:41:08picture right i'm sure they are i need you to sound more convinced to make up for my underlying
00:41:13panic violet this is the worst possible week for this meeting i'm exhausted i was up late cleaning
00:41:18the house oh tough night with the kids huh no the kids are amazing it's alex that is the problem
00:41:24listens to what is important to you right
00:41:33i have no idea what's happening well you know that guy you were complaining about
00:41:36he lent all of his stuff to you i still have no idea what's going on alex called and he said
00:41:45he had some furniture we could use he wasn't sure that you would accept it from him so
00:41:50i let him in early this morning this is the errand he had to run check out the monitor

00:43:02so let me take you through the website over here we have elena and ethan they have a very
00:43:07different idea about what a romantic vacation would be like we have ethan who's much more
00:43:13into adventure
00:43:31hi oh hey i'm sorry i tried to get brianna to do all of her homework but she was too amped up about
00:43:36the dance she's already getting dressed it's okay i came home early to help her get ready
00:43:41obviously not early enough oh and josh got invited to his friend matt's house for a sleepover they
00:43:46just picked him up so i'll be heading out soon alex i i want to say thank you for the furniture
00:43:55it was really your office needed furniture i make furniture it's no big deal it's a massive deal
00:44:02so really
00:44:08so so you liked it it made me look amazing i think the meeting went well and i'm not sure
00:44:15if they're going to invest but i uh it was really thoughtful
00:44:23it's not who i thought you were you can keep the furniture as long as you need it
00:44:27okay
00:44:33how do i look
00:44:36brianna do you like it
00:44:40uh no what happened to your dress sweetheart half of it has disappeared i cut it i like it
00:44:46better this way why it's what amber wore last night you thought it was pretty right you said
00:44:51you liked it uh brianna uh amber is she's a grown-up brie i'm not letting you wear that
00:45:00dress like that you're gonna have to pick something else out for your main closet no way
00:45:03i think it's awesome okay fine you can wear it really really sure you just can't leave this
00:45:11house the entire night aunt maggie i'm not a little girl i'm 10 and three quarters sweetheart
00:45:17if you're measuring your age in quarters it means you're too young not fair
00:45:28this is all your fault my fault you don't think it's a coincidence that 24 hours after meeting
00:45:33your little girlfriend brie goes and takes a pair of scissors to her dress you know what i think it
00:45:38is i think you're jealous i'm jealous yeah you're so uptight of course you'd be jealous of a girl
00:45:44like amber this isn't about me alex or amber it's about brie are you gonna be the one to tell
00:45:51ethan that you encouraged his 10 year old daughter to dress like that can i come in fine
00:46:14what's this really about brie nothing
00:46:29come on sweetheart we go way back i used to sing to you when you're in your mom's belly
00:46:37and you also spilled a whole glass of punch on me on your fourth birthday so you kind of owe me
00:46:45and your dress was white too not anymore it ain't
00:46:51he just wanted to look cool
00:46:55is there any particular reason no there's nothing you wanted to dress up for no one
00:47:07what's his name maggie his name can't be at maggie because that's way too much of a coincidence
00:47:13danny his name is danny he's my science lab partner brie believe me
00:47:20i understand i felt invisible when i was younger no way you're so pretty well thank you but when
00:47:28i was your age i had braces and acne and a perm that i was dumb enough to convince my mom
00:47:37was a good idea boys didn't notice you either no i'm not gonna lie they usually didn't and it made
00:47:43me sad but you know what they didn't like me because they weren't the right boys and i appreciated
00:47:53it so much more when the right ones came along but you're not married yet yeah i i understand
00:48:01that kiddo but i'm waiting to find my right guy a guy who loves me for me and you need to find a
00:48:09boy that's gonna like you for you a girl that gets straight a's not a girl that chops up her dress to
00:48:16be like everyone else can i add something something aunt maggie said isn't totally right
00:48:27so i didn't go to the same school as her but i can pretty much guarantee that the boys she
00:48:31thought didn't like her well they actually liked her a lot
00:48:41you see when girls are both smart and pretty it's it's really intimidating so it's not that boys
00:48:46don't like you for you they just assume that you would never like them does that make sense
00:48:52does that make sense okay so what do you say
00:48:56we worry less about this dandy kid and we worry a little bit more about your first dance
00:49:01which is kind of a big deal right right
00:49:05see anything you like yeah that's a good choice thanks uncle alex would you like to come too
00:49:14oh to your dance yeah since aunt maggie's chaperoning i thought you could too
00:49:19yeah uncle alex you want to come with us i couldn't think of any better way to spend my evening
00:49:28do i have to dress up
00:49:48so
00:50:09hey maggie hey can i grab something from in here sure i just want to get a tie from ethan
00:50:15wow i mean that's uh that's a really nice dress it's elena's you need a tie oh right
00:50:28yeah i just want to spruce up the outfit a little bit you look great but i think
00:50:32this would complete the look this one or this one um what do you think

01:04:27for us.com can we actually afford to upgrade the site and create a real marketing campaign
01:04:32maggie you won't be able to do any of that unless you pick up the phone
01:04:38getawayforus.com this is violet speaking yes hold one moment please
01:04:51jane and steve hello listen we're about to hop on a plane to la for a meeting and we were wondering
01:04:56if you were free tomorrow maybe we could grab an early bite you pick the spot and feel free
01:05:01to invite someone let's keep this whole thing sociable sociable right i will bring my boyfriend
01:05:08brent sounds good looking forward to meeting him see you tomorrow okay bye-bye
01:05:15brent's been upgraded to boyfriend status huh what he could be my boyfriend we've been together
01:05:20for a while everything is fine it's fine the term dry cleaning is misleading it's not a dry process
01:05:33it's just that the cleaning solvent we use has virtually no water in it so it doesn't penetrate
01:05:40the fabric's fibers the way water does
01:05:44did you know that
01:05:48are you okay maggie you seem distracted
01:05:55i i just have this work thing
01:06:01actually um there's something i want to tell you
01:06:04i mean sir she borrowed them she takes them on her trip she came back from her trip and
01:06:11she didn't have them i mean who does that isn't that crazy amber
01:06:18we need to talk
01:06:25hi well i just made you a reservation at your favorite bistro before
01:06:29well now i have to find a fourth person because i broke up with brent
01:06:33last night and now i have to go to this dinner without a wingman what am i gonna do
01:06:40you wanna come with me i'm so flattered but i have plans and considering the fact that i
01:06:44know jane and steve and i'm a woman it might be hard for me to pass as your boyfriend i know
01:06:50it's just gonna be so awkward i told them i would bring my boyfriend
01:06:54i mean now we can have a very appropriate business-related conversation about my failed

01:19:27maybe we should start over can we i would love that
01:19:32do you remember what i told brianna about how boys act like they don't like the smart
01:19:47pretty girls because they're intimidated
01:19:52well i'm thinking you've always intimidated me so i made fun of you
01:19:58but i think i really want to get this right well maybe it wasn't the most mature thing to do
01:20:09but i think i've always acted so uptight because you make me nervous
01:20:16me yes you it's crazy how a guy who's handsome and
01:20:23funny life of the party can do that to a girl
01:20:27that to a girl
01:20:49i can't believe i got magpie mountain to marry me uh it's magpie for now yes
