ASTRID ISAIAH JASON KEN LEAH LUCIA OSCAR RYAN SAVVY TINY WILL WOMAN_1 JASON Smells too good in here. SAVVY Oh, well, I hope that it lives up to the hype. Because that oven is in one of her moods. But obviously, I had to cook for you this morning. JASON Babe, you know I fast for lunch on Friday. SAVVY No, no, no. These are for after lunch. They're a little macro-friendly, sugar-free holiday treat. JASON Mm, it's not just that. SAVVY No, but I made the recipe to reach your numbers. You know, I did actual math for you. JASON And I appreciate you. SAVVY I mean, it is a special day. Can you make an exception? JASON There are no exceptions in discipline. That's why it's called discipline. Right? SAVVY Um, well. I guess I can just put them in the freezer for another time. Hey, um, I was, um, I was thinking in the new year I could maybe try your training program? JASON That's what I'm talking about. You gotta get out of the kitchen. You spend all your time cooking. But training, that's where it's at. It'll make you a beast! Your best self. What are you up to tonight? SAVVY Oh, um, I don't know. I thought that you'd have something planned for. JASON Our anniversary. The special day that is today. Um, of course I have something planned. SAVVY Well, that's exciting. JASON Mm-hmm. SAVVY Is it a surprise? JASON Oh, yeah. I hope you have something great to wear. Something sexy. SAVVY Oh, I hadn't thought about that. JASON Better get on that today, then. SAVVY Well, your gift will be arriving at your office around ten. JASON Better not be a stripper-gram. I only got one girl on my mind today. SAVVY I love you, Jason. JASON It's gonna be a great night. Five years, baby. Whoo! SAVVY Nani Rose would say it's important to follow your own tastes. But mine are asking for more flavor, more delight, more. and cheese. When all else fails, add more cheese. Good morning. SAVVY Hi, morning, Ryan. Fresh treats in the tin. RYAN These look drier than my last date. SAVVY Uh, they have cheese on top. RYAN To conceal the fact that they're Jason's specials, I'm on to you. SAVVY Look, we can all use one healthy habit a day. RYAN No, thou minion of Jason. I want Savvy to go back to creating utterly-butterly old-school treats. SAVVY Okay. RYAN I demand it. Oh, uh, by the way, check your email. Alotta Body Shop have some updates they want posted. SAVVY When don't they? RYAN Hey, we update their websites, and they exploit boomers who are insecure about their status symbol cars. SAVVY Yeah, but there hasn't been anything interesting to do on that site for, like, ever. Not on my pet store account, either. RYAN Not interesting? You're telling the people about half-priced kibble. How can that not be interesting? That's your calling. SAVVY My calling. I am a web designer, okay? I thought there was gonna be more of the design-y part. RYAN Oh, sweetie. You know what I do when I get that creative itch? I take a pottery class. Look, I have a whole collection of wonky dishware. If you want a leaky mug, I'm your man. SAVVY I want a challenge, Ryan. I spoke to Becca, and she said that she got a new account last week. RYAN Well. Becca gives great Christmas presents. SAVVY Christmas presents. Okay. Hmm. Who wants a bribe? Who wants a bribe? Oh. RYAN Whoa. What? Hold on. What is. Is that. SAVVY Nani Rose's shortbread with lime and coconut. Yeah, I can only make them when Jason is out of town, and I limit myself to one per tea break. One. RYAN Yeah. SAVVY One. RYAN Ah. SAVVY One-- Come on. RYAN I'll think about it. SAVVY Think faster. Bring back my tin. SAVVY All right. Ooh. Yeah, I'm not eating that. Okay. ASTRID I knew exactly when Will was going to propose. SAVVY How? Like, you felt it? ASTRID I found the ring receipt. Yeah. SAVVY Oh. ASTRID He has this habit of dumping his pockets on my dresser at night. Still does it. Little piles left behind, whenever he's not deployed. TINY Mm-hmm. A man who makes you clean up for him does not get to surprise you. ASTRID It was still exciting being proposed to. Seeing what he picked out? TINY Mm-hmm. Well, tonight we get to see what Jason has in store for Savvy's finger. SAVVY Oh, no, we don't. That man totally forgot our anniversary. TINY Or he's a really good actor, and this is just part of the whole thing. SAVVY For what? Like a Christmas proposal? ASTRID And he better make this good, because I'm not sure he's even worthy of you. TINY Five years, gal. How much time do you need? ASTRID You know, sometimes I worry you are making yourself smaller for him, Savvy. Getting into a Jason-sized box, seeing things his way. SAVVY He got me where I am. He helped me focus to get my IT degree. TINY Don't sell yourself short. You were there, too. ASTRID Honey, do you have your own plans for the future? Like, for what you want? TINY Well, what she wants is a ring, Astrid. SAVVY Oh, no, no, no. I am not getting my hopes up. Although, he did tell me to wear something sexy. TINY Oh, there is this boutique a few doors down that has the sexiest little dress. You should get it. SAVVY Oh. SAVVY Uh, it is my boss. Hi, Ryan. TINY Ryan, she's on break. RYAN Hey, if you can make it back in ten, there's a potential new client. She's a chef. SAVVY A chef? I am on my way. I have to go. ASTRID Wait, but your dress. SAVVY That's just gonna have to wait. Bye, Astrid. Bye, mama. TINY Hey, it's Tiny when we're out just being the girls. SAVVY Okay, mom. TINY Ugh! Are you staying? ASTRID Yeah, of course. TINY Oh, well, that's why you've always been like a real daughter to me. SAVVY Uh. TINY The good one. ASTRID Because I buy vitamins from you. And before that, I bought overpriced candles. And before that, cheap-ass leggings. TINY You hurt my heart, Astrid. ASTRID Okay. TINY But I do have this new energy formula. Made me think of you. Perfect for the, um, busy mom. And it's only $32 a month. Hm? RYAN Because it's-it's more cute than we, our company. SAVVY Chef Lucia? LUCIA Yes? SAVVY I'm sorry. I was just, I was surprised. Hi! I'm Savannah Sheldon. I am a big fan. LUCIA Oh. RYAN I-I was just about to introduce the chef to the team, but it seems as though you do not need an introduction, Savvy. SAVVY Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh, right here. RYAN Uh-uh, Savvy is a good designer, and I thought I'd give her the opportunity to pitch to you as well, because she is also a cook. SAVVY Oh, just at home. In my spare time, nothing big. LUCIA What do you like to cook? SAVVY Oh, anything, everything. I mean, I have all of your cookbooks. Your cioppino recipe is a masterpiece. So garlicky and balanced. LUCIA And how do you alter it? SAVVY Oh, I would never. LUCIA Oh, come on, fess up. Every cook worth her salt alters a recipe to her own taste. Otherwise, it's just a grocery list. SAVVY Saffron. I like to add saffron. I know that it's not proper Italian. LUCIA You're veering into Caldeirada territory with that addition. SAVVY I know, I know, but I'm a fusion girly. What can I say? LUCIA Huh. RYAN I, Should I get a translator in here for the rest of us? Because you two with the lingo. LUCIA I need a personalized, branded website. My restaurant has one, my publisher has one, but I don't have one that represents me and my brand as a personality. RYAN We want to give Chef Lucia several to choose from, so you're all gonna be competing. A bake-off, if you will. So, now, let's begin by exploring your vision. Who, uh, who would like to start? SAVVY Um, chef, what inspires you? LUCIA Well, cooking is putting your heart on a plate. We express ourselves to nourish those we love. And we feed ourselves. That's key. SAVVY What are you doing? Do you know how to fix stoves? JASON Doesn't matter who you ask, baby girl, this beast has baked her last biscuit. SAVVY That was Nani's. JASON Yeah, exactly. It's older than both of us combined. SAVVY I love that stove. JASON You're always attached to old stuff. I tried, Savs, I really did. It's time to pour one out and move on. You should get ready. We have a reservation. SAVVY So many great meals came from that oven. JASON Are we still talking about this? Look, I know how much that oven meant to you. I thought it'd be the perfect gift for today. And I left work early to make it happen. Happy anniversary. SAVVY Thank you. JASON All good, babe. Just give me five to change. SAVVY Hm. JASON Oh, um, this was hanging from the door when I got back here. Is that a new dress? SAVVY Yeah, Astrid got it for me. I would have went up a size. JASON I knew you wouldn't get anything new. SAVVY Well, I was going to, but I got called in to work. Actually, it's really exciting. JASON You know, you've had the same shoes as long as I've known you. We live in a museum to your granny. Nothing changes unless someone forces you. SAVVY Let's be nice tonight. JASON I'm nice. Just also real. SAVVY Oh, no, we didn't order this. JASON I called it in earlier. Easier to avoid temptation if you don't even look at the menu. Right? A tip from my trainer. SAVVY Right, um. did you tell your trainer about your new punching bag? JASON Oh, yeah. You saw my post, right? It's awesome. Everybody at the dealership was jealous. SAVVY Well, I had to order this frame special. It took months to get there. JASON I'm gonna have to book times for the dudes to come swing by my office. Worth it. Speaking of worth it. I have something for you, too. Savvy, I loved you for half a decade, and I want to invest in our future. SAVVY Me, too. Oh. Oh, wow. JASON I want to support you in becoming your best you. SAVVY Because you don't think I'm good enough? JASON Because I know you're self-conscious about how you look. It's a generous amount. The certificate. They do cool sculpting, filler, personal training. Get anything you want. SAVVY As long as it makes me smaller. JASON As long as it makes you happier. SAVVY Jason, this is dated today. JASON Well, yeah, I had to go by after work because I-- SAVVY Because you forgot. JASON You know me, babe. I forget everything. SAVVY Not if it matters to you. JASON You matter to me. SAVVY I don't feel like that's the truth. I don't think that you love me. Not the real me. JASON Five years. Come on, now. Be real. SAVVY Yeah, five years, Jason. I actually thought that you were gonna propose. JASON What? Uh. We're not ready for that yet. Babe, be serious. You-- SAVVY I can't do this anymore. That is my truth. JASON What is going on with you? Would you calm down? SAVVY Being with you is about as nourishing as this iceberg lettuce. It's empty. No substance. And I'm sorry, it always leaves me unsatisfied. JASON Excuse me? SAVVY This whole year, we've just been growing apart. And instead of you loving me, you've tried to turn me into something that I'm not. I'm done pretending. I need more than this. JASON People are staring. SAVVY Let them stare, Jason. I don't care. I am done. I'll leave your stuff on the porch. JASON So what? You're gonna be by yourself? SAVVY If that's what it takes. It's time for me to live my own life. Whatever that looks like. SAVVY Was I temporarily insane? ASTRID He's an idiot. Breaking up with him took courage. Be proud of that. SAVVY Okay, but I invested so many years. And what do I have now? TINY A makeover voucher. ASTRID You should burn that damn thing. TINY Don't do that! That is money! Would you burn money? Give me the filler! SAVVY Do you think that I'm in a rut? TINY Right now, you are in your bed. And that is the right place for you to be. ASTRID Look, you'll know when to get up, and then we'll figure the rest out. TINY Mm-hmm. SAVVY What was I thinking? RYAN Let's brush up on our research. Uh, if you don't happen to like Italian food, maybe don't mention that to the chef. Thanks, everyone. Bye. SAVVY All right, Nani Rose. "Let's cook with love, plenty of salt and even more courage." Which cabinet is my courage in? SAVVY Hi. Um, do you think you could give me some advice about fixing stoves? Mine is, um, kind of vintage. ISAIAH Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Um. May I? SAVVY Yeah. ISAIAH What is this, Victorian or medieval, maybe? SAVVY I know that it's silly to try to fix it when I can just buy a new one. ISAIAH Oh, no, I, I get it. Trust me. Sometimes you just get attached to things for reasons. SAVVY Right. ISAIAH Yeah. For me, it's all about this old palm sander that used to be my great uncle's. It's worn in just right, reliable, strong. Wouldn't give it up. SAVVY Well, this oven wasn't exactly reliable. ISAIAH Ah. It's okay. JASON Savvy? SAVVY Hi. JASON Uh, what are you. SAVVY U-upgrading my kitchen. And moving ahead. You? JASON Oh, um, this is my colleague, Leah. She needed help with her-- LEAH Pipes. JASON Mm-hmm. Yeah. LEAH And apparently, Jay is very handy. SAVVY Oh, just don't let Jay anywhere near your stove. JASON Savvy, please don't. LEAH Um, do you guys rent out. What is it we need again, Jay? A pipe cutter? ISAIAH Um, I think you'd want that counter over there, but I don't actually work here. SAVVY Wait, what? ISAIAH I was just having a nice time talking to you. JASON Oh, I see. LEAH Okay. Well, thanks. Bye. ISAIAH Your ex? SAVVY How did you know? ISAIAH Been there. And those eyes had a lot to say. SAVVY I am such an open book. ISAIAH No, it's a great quality. Trust me. I'm Isaiah. SAVVY Savannah, uh, Savvy. ISAIAH Nice to meet you, Savvy. Um, I could still help you with your stove parts, even though I've just been revealed as a civilian. SAVVY I really feel like I have to go. Fast. But thank you. He's got a next chick after two weeks. TINY Oh, maybe he had a side chick all along. SAVVY Uh, not helping. I mean, what are the odds that I would run into them the first time I decide to go out? TINY Well, you did go to the hardware store right next to where he works. SAVVY I need support, not victim-blaming. Where is Astrid, anyway? TINY I-I'm supporting you. You want a magnesium chew? I'll give you the whole bottle at cost. ASTRID Hey. Hi. What'd I miss? TINY Savvy, hardware store. Jason, new chick. ASTRID Jason, what the hell, you dick? TINY Well, she did go to the hardware store right next to where he works, so. ASTRID Okay, not now, honey. SAVVY She was like this miniature person with these gumdrop boobs and a butt that would fit in my pocket. I knew that's what he always wanted. ASTRID Oh, honey, don't do that to yourself. SAVVY Finally make it out to the store, I don't even get my stove fixed. I mean, how am I so overwhelmed by one thing? TINY That is depression. I've got some St. John's-wort right here in my-- ASTRID Okay, not now, Tiny. SAVVY What's in the bags, Astrid? ASTRID Oh, Will's home on leave this weekend for the holidays. SAVVY What? Oh, I didn't even know, I'm the worst friend. ASTRID Oh, no, look, you're a friend that's fresh out of a five-year relationship. You get a pass. SAVVY Yeah, but you've been Will-less for four months. TINY Uh-huh. So you have some naughty lingerie in them bags. I haven't seen any in forever. Are they. Are they Bluetooth enabled now? Like, your hoo-ha has not been touched in four months. Please use now before it self-combusts. ASTRID Oh, yeah, the bags are full of super sexy things, like tube socks and Will's fave snacks. When you've been married for 12 years, it's all just a tired, mushy pile of mess. SAVVY Ah. Snacks can be sexy. Do not sleep on snacks. ASTRID He comes home exhausted and wanting comfort. Enough said in front of your mother, though. TINY Me? I'm just one of the girls. TINY Mm-hmm. SAVVY Ugh, I have to go to work. TINY Hey, you are doing it, Savannah Joy. Hmm. You are back out in the world. SAVVY Yeah, but I-I thought that I would be good, and then I saw him, and I am not. TINY Hmm. SAVVY I just wanna be happy. TINY You will be. SAVVY Mwah. Mwah. ASTRID What's that face? TINY Oh, that's my thinking face. ASTRID No, do not set her up on a date. She said no. TINY What do you take me for? Oh, girl. Don't be sassy. I know what makes Savannah happy. Hmm. ASTRID Okay. SAVVY Okay. ASTRID Okay. TINY Okay. SAVVY Hi. RYAN Empty? SAVVY Uh, me or my tin? No, there's a saying that my grandparents used to say in Trinidad. Empty bag can't stand up. RYAN I don't know what that means. SAVVY It means you have to have something deep down inside you for you to be able to handle the rest of the world. RYAN You know what I'd like deep down inside of me? Baked goods. Oh, uh, did you get my e-mail about the updates for the pet stores? SAVVY Oh, yeah, yeah. The online budgie week flyer is gonna be fire. RYAN Good, and what about your pitch for Chef Lucia? That deadline's tomorrow. People have already started submitting. Including Becca. SAVVY I know, I know. RYAN Hey, isn't this the creative opportunity that you wanted? SAVVY Yeah, it is, but I haven't exactly been feeling inspired. I mean, it's been a tough time with everything with me and Jason-- RYAN Savvy. Sometimes you just have to do the thing first. Then the inspiration comes afterwards. SAVVY When did you become a Zen master? RYAN I'll say anything to anyone to get some good food back in here. Whither my patties, my salsa, my snicker-doodles. SAVVY Mom? Is that you? If that isn't you, I'm calling the cops. TINY Ooh-hoo! Well, what do you think? SAVVY You did this. TINY Remember Marlon from church? He works at that appliance store right next to the craft store, right next to the place where we went to lunch. SAVVY I had no idea this was happening. TINY It was a surprise. Come on, I told them that you needed a good one because my baby is a real cook. SAVVY I'm sure that the stove is nice, but it's not gonna match my kitchen. TINY Oh. SAVVY If I change the stove, then I have to change the counters, then I have to change the cabinets, and. People don't just suddenly change everything. TINY Yes, baby. In fact, some people do. SAVVY Not me. TINY You did, though. You dumped that man. You are capable. Now, are you ready to commit, not to Jason but to change? Yes, you are. SAVVY Yes, I am! TINY Come on. I got you. Yeah. Girl, I got you. I got you. Come on. SAVVY Whoo! Yeah! TINY Okay. SAVVY Whoo! ASTRID Wait! Stop! What are you doing? TINY Savvy's not stuck any more. SAVVY Apparently I've committed to a reno. ASTRID You've committed to something. A crime in some states I think. SAVVY Just watch me. I'm gonna reno my whole damn life. ASTRID See, usually people drink wine and then do the silly things. I'm giving you wine to stop the silly things. TINY You are pooping the party. She needs to renovate that kitchen. ASTRID By herself? With a hammer? SAVVY Yeah, well, I was stalled because I thought Jason and I would renovate it together. Thought we'd be married and make all of our choices together. ASTRID Oh, honey, you can't wait for a man. Unless he's deployed, then that's all you get to do. TINY Oh! SAVVY You know, I didn't think that I could do this by myself. And I just did. TINY Well, part of the way. You still got a long way to go. ASTRID And I guess you'll have to go to another hardware store where you won't run into Jackass Jay and the next chick. SAVVY Well, there was a very fine man at that store that I would not mind running into again. TINY Savannah, you didn't tell us that. SAVVY Now, Jason, he might have been right. I was stuck in a rut. But he was a part of that rut. ASTRID Yeah. TINY Mm-hmm. SAVVY And maybe, just maybe, there are other fine fish floating in the fine old sea. ASTRID Ohh! SAVVY Ooh, just like there's something floating in my glass. ASTRID That looks like drywall. Extra fiber, am I right? SAVVY Mm-hmm. ASTRID Oh, no! TINY Girl, come on now. ASTRID Come on. TINY What? SAVVY Nani wrote more than recipes in these books. Guarantee she never got that back. "Reminder to sift the important parts of life together to, to balance them out evenly. Mind, body, soul." ASTRID Ooh, snicker doodles. TINY God, I haven't had my snickers doodled in forever. SAVVY I'm ignoring that. Oh, it felt good to be in the kitchen to do what I want, when I want it. TINY You were flipping through cookbooks before you could read. SAVVY I re-read some of Nani's last night. And I saw something that I've read a thousand times before, but never really took it in. TINY Mm, let me guess. Balance. SAVVY Yes. Mind, body, soul. TINY Mm-hmm. SAVVY Now I'm gonna recalibrate them all. Just like Nani's cookbook said to. I don't know, I feel like I just need to hit that reset button. ASTRID Well, I get it. So, how? SAVVY Hm. Well, um. Okay, soul is the kitchen. And that's the heart of my home, and I've already started that. ASTRID Mind? SAVVY I want a promotion at work. TINY Because of money? SAVVY I mean, no, that's nice. But I just, I wanna enjoy my job again. ASTRID Oh, God, I feel that. TINY You could exercise, the body part. SAVVY No, I wanna focus on movement. I mean, sitting around all day is just awful. TINY Yeah, they call it the new smoking. ASTRID Get stronger, feel better, think clearer. TINY You know, I was thinking about starting something. Have you heard of, uh, pickle-ball? ASTRID Pickle-ball? TINY Mm-hmm. It is the fastest growing sport in North America. The community center, it starts next week. I am gonna register us. ASTRID Tiny, how have you just been lying in wait for a time to hit us with your flyers? SAVVY She's been on a shadow pickle-ball mission. ASTRID Oh, pickle-woman camouflaged herself. SAVVY But is there a sport in the world that sounds less sexy? ASTRID Absolutely not. And we couldn't tell anyone because that would be embarrassing. TINY Hey, what about you, Astrid? SAVVY Oh. TINY What kind of life reno are you gonna join me and Savvy in? ASTRID I need to think. TINY Okay, well don't think for too long. Or otherwise I'm gonna have to get that hammer out. ASTRID Mm. TINY Bam! Bam! Yes. SAVVY Whoa! Okay, no more sugar for you. ASTRID Oh. TINY Whatever. ASTRID It's inspirational. You know, that she's taking an opportunity to change instead of settling. WILL Mm-hmm. OSCAR I mean, I like Aunt Savvy how she is. ASTRID She's still gonna be her. Just a happier her. OSCAR Okay, then. Hey, you know where my charger is? ASTRID And it kind of made me think. There's some changes I wanna make too. WILL Yeah? What kind? ASTRID Well, I was thinking about going back to college. WILL Oscar needs you here. ASTRID Yeah, but not all the time. I quit school when he was born and now that he's starting junior high, he's independent enough to. WILL Can we talk about this later when he's in bed? ASTRID You leave, Will. You go on and have another life and I'm thankful for what you do. I am, but. I look for iPad chargers and I buy tube socks. WILL I know. I did have an idea to help Savvy with her reno. Do you remember Isaiah? My buddy Marcus's brother. ASTRID Oh, the cute contractor? Yeah, sure. Who wouldn't remember Isaiah? SAVVY Hi, chef, I know that I missed the deadline, but it was important to me that I got my web design pitch to you. LUCIA Ryan sent all the others days ago. SAVVY I know, but I wanted to deliver this in person, just in case there was any chance that you'd still consider it. LUCIA What happened, to make it late? SAVVY I had a personal setback. But I, I promised myself I would do this. I understand if you don't have time to look at it, but it mattered to me that I followed through. Also, I brought a bribe. SAVVY It's rasta pasta with spaghetti. It has a trendy flair. It's straight from Nani's cookbook. It's one of her best and spiciest. LUCIA Fusion girly, hey? SAVVY That's me. Look, thank you so much for your time and consideration. SAVVY Time for the real test. So that's what we're working with. WOMAN 1 I honor my body. I am strong and I embrace my growth. SAVVY I honor my body! I am strong and I embrace my growth! SAVVY It's you. ISAIAH Hi. Um. I heard someone named Savvy needed help with their kitchen, and I've only ever heard of one person by that name. SAVVY I know. It's a disaster. ISAIAH No, it's not too bad. I did this one job where the guy made custom cabinets. They were just like padded with this lovely vinyl on the outside, and on the inside it was. stacked-up milk crates. SAVVY Well, this was less wild swing and more. necessity. ISAIAH You couldn't save the stove after all? SAVVY I learned to love the new one, I guess. Right? ISAIAH Right. May I take a look? SAVVY Oh, yeah. Um. ISAIAH All right. SAVVY Sorry. Sorry. ISAIAH Oh. Oh. Ooh. Black salt. Chili crisp. Ceylon cinnamon. So I was told you might feed me, if I'm lucky. SAVVY What has Will been telling you? ISAIAH He didn't have to say too much. I mean, as soon as he said your name, I figured I'd come by, take a look. SAVVY Well, I don't have a huge reno budget. ISAIAH It's all good. I mean, you may go way back after all. Right? SAVVY Oh. ISAIAH No, I just got some time off over the holidays before work picks up, so. I'll give you a bargain. SAVVY I mean, I will cook for you, if it sweetens the deal. ISAIAH I mean, I live alone, and I know the name of all my local delivery folks, so. What do you think? ISAIAH So, I would like to see how you move in your kitchen. SAVVY Um, well, kind of, with my feet, you know, like this. ISAIAH I mean, how you cook in your kitchen. SAVVY Oh, well why do you need to know that? ISAIAH I like to customize the kitchen to the chef. You know, small jobs that. make the right space for the right person. Not the generic white box showroom stuff. SAVVY Oh, you're an artiste. ISAIAH I don't know about all that, I just like to build things that fit people. SAVVY Mm. ISAIAH So. show me how you work in here. SAVVY Oh. Okay. ISAIAH Oh, my God. This is incredible. The oxtail, the flavor is so.deep. SAVVY You like it? I mean, it's my favorite cold weather food. ISAIAH I mean, you're the real artist here. SAVVY Eat, eat. ISAIAH Yeah, yeah, sorry. ASTRID Look, I swear it was Will. I had no idea he was gonna come by the house. TINY Men, can't keep secrets when you want them to. But keep every confidence when you want the tea. ASTRID Well, he's so nice. He's trying to get back on his feet after a divorce. TINY Ooh, get in there, Savvy. SAVVY You know I am in no position to even look at a man, you know that. ASTRID Okay, would you say no to some ravaging, rampaging, revenge sex? SAVVY Stop it, you perv. ASTRID Do the cardio so you're ready, just in case the carpenter wants to nail in some. TINY Okay. let's go. ASTRID Oh. TINY Now how are you gonna get fit if you aren't paying attention? SAVVY I'm not even playing. TINY Well, pickle-ball never sleeps. KEN Excuse me. That was an illegal serve. TINY Pardon me? KEN Your elbow. TINY Elbow. KEN Way above your waist. TINY Uh, well, that's how I learned how to serve. I saw it in an online tutorial, and I think that they know what is legal. KEN Well, you may have to check your rule book, sweetheart. TINY My wha. Uh, Sweetheart? ASTRID A man just contradicted Tiny to her face. SAVVY And called her sweetheart. ASTRID She's holding a weapon. SAVVY This is gonna be bad. ASTRID Mm-hmm. KEN You are obviously gonna be a top athlete. TINY Obviously. KEN You're a gifted athlete. TINY That's true. KEN But I don't want all these bad habits to creep in, do you know what I mean? May I show you? TINY Um, sure. KEN Okay. So listen, just grab this racket like this, get this arm out right here, tuck that elbow in, and I want you to turn, I want you to bend those knees, and drive right up like that. See what I'm saying? TINY So that's how it goes. ASTRID Oh. RYAN Savvy? SAVVY Oh, Ryan, I got delicious tarts and some stew for our lunch. RYAN Never mind that, never mind that. Something more important is going on. SAVVY Wh-what is it? RYAN Come with me, we've got to go to the big boardroom. SAVVY The big boardroom? RYAN The big boardroom, let's go. Come on, come on, let's go, let's go. SAVVY Okay, all right. Okay, I'm going. RYAN Big boardroom. Big boardroom. Big. Oh. SAVVY Chef Lucia. LUCIA I wanna talk to you about the work you did for me. RYAN Sit down, Savvy. LUCIA Uh, Ryan, will you bring up the site for me? RYAN Uh, yes. LUCIA I love what you did, Savannah. You're saying what I wanted said. I see the love, the food, the nourishment. SAVVY I understand those things. LUCIA You gave me what I wanted without me even being able to explain it to you. SAVVY I just listened. LUCIA No, you get it. We have the same creative vision. I would like you to design and maintain my site. RYAN Yes! Thank you. Yes, yes, she will. Thank you. LUCIA One caveat, and I want to set this out before we work together because I did feel concerned when you missed the deadline. SAVVY Anything. LUCIA I want reassurance that my site will be your focus as we put it together. SAVVY I am absolutely here for our project. Together. LUCIA All right. RYAN Oh. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry, sorry. LUCIA Okay, let's get started. So, what's our first move? SAVVY Well, um, the. WILL She's coming out of the yellow. OSCAR Yeah, yeah. WILL Where are you going? ASTRID Indoor tennis. OSCAR She plays pickle-ball. WILL Pickle-what now? OSCAR It's the fastest growing sport in North America. WILL I didn't know you played sports. ASTRID I'm trying new stuff. WILL I'm not here for that long before I leave again. ASTRID I won't be gone for that long. Tiny and Savvy are expecting me and I'm not letting them down. WILL Okay, I get it. It's just. That's a new look for you. You look cute. ASTRID Thanks for noticing. OSCAR Oh, hell no. That's disgusting. WILL Hey! KEN Good, get underneath that ball, Tiny. Oh. TINY Out! SAVVY That was in! And that's six! TINY Out, and it's my serve! KEN It was a nice try, Tiny. You know, you can get it next time. TINY Hm. Maybe you should get some glasses next time. KEN Good, good competitive spirit. I like that about you. Okay, everybody take five. Stay hydrated. All right. SAVVY Ooh. I, uh, think Coach Ken likes you. TINY Oh, grow up. ASTRID How do you not see it? TINY Well, he believes in my athletic talent. You all know that I played volleyball back in the day. He just. sees my talent. SAVVY Is, uh, "I've got talent" written on your little back side? Because that's where he was looking. TINY Okay, Savvy. I was thinking about you today. How is the kitchen battle going? SAVVY Oh, Isaiah started this afternoon, so I'll see when I get home. TINY Oh, Isaiah. Now that's how good name for a man. SAVVY I hadn't noticed. ASTRID He's very cute. I can confirm. TINY Mhmm. Maybe we should, uh, tag along and see the progress that he's made today. SAVVY No, no. ASTRID Yeah. SAVVY You guys are not coming over and making it even more messily awkward with my exceptionally cute carpenter. TINY Okay. TINY Oh, so you admit it. SAVVY Look, there are three items on my mission list. Mind, body, and soul. None of them say man. TINY Oh, well, there's a lot of room in all of those three things for a man. ASTRID Especially body. SAVVY Oh, my God, stop! KEN Okay, break time's over. Tiny, I need you right here with me. I'm not playing without you. ASTRID Never without you. Oh, my. KEN Let's do it. TINY Shh. KEN Let's do it. TINY I need my paddle. KEN Let's go. TINY Hang on, I'm coming. Shh! ISAIAH I'm not done. SAVVY It's perfect. I mean, the cabinets, the stove. ISAIAH Eh, as perfect as I could get it. The cabinet width is visually uneven, so I centered it slightly to the right. And here's a secret. ISAIAH Custom wooden spoon drawer. SAVVY No way! ISAIAH Because this is your favorite burner and the hand that you'd use to reach for a spoon if you need one. SAVVY Isaiah, that is so special. ISAIAH I just used some stuff I had in my van. Leftovers. ISAIAH It's good for the budget, too. You do some work, and maybe we do some together. SAVVY Okay, but I need to pay you. I will not take freebies. But you still have to let me top it up with some home cooking. Okay. Uh, Jerk chicken and rice with a side of doubles. Breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner of champions. ISAIAH Hmm. All right. Rice and peas, jerk chicken. SAVVY And some holiday protein snowballs to keep the energy up. ISAIAH I mean, reconstituted bachelors would never say no to this. Not now, not ever. SAVVY Okay, let me set you up with some pepper sauce. Um, tell me, what is a reconstituted bachelor? ISAIAH Uh. I got a divorce about a year ago, and I'm still getting used to it. SAVVY I'm sorry. ISAIAH No, no, it's, uh, it's good. It's good. My ex is much happier now. It's the right thing to do. And sometimes people just. grow in different directions. We actually met working in finance, but I was miserable. So when I wanted to make a big change to start this business, Kelly didn't understand. SAVVY Wait, you were a finance bro? I did not see that coming. ISAIAH I mean, me neither. Trust me, this suits me much better. Hardly feels like work. SAVVY No, I understand that. I'm actually trying to find a bit more of that in my own work. ISAIAH Anything that gets you closer to where you're meant to be is a victory, right? SAVVY Mm-hmm. ISAIAH Well, my advice, don't play it safe. Sometimes it's the scary stuff, the risks that really lead us to where we're meant to be. TINY Savannah! You left your sweater at pickle-ball. ASTRID Oh. SAVVY And it took both of you to bring it here? TINY Because of how much we love you. ASTRID Yeah. TINY Now who's this? SAVVY This is Isaiah. Isaiah, this is Tiny, and you already know Astrid. ISAIAH Nice to meet you. TINY Ah. ISAIAH And to see you again. ASTRID Yeah. SAVVY All right, well. Isaiah was just leaving. Thank you, Isaiah. ISAIAH Very welcome. Uh, sorry. ASTRID Yes, yes. ISAIAH Goodnight. Uh. ASTRID Mm-hmm. ISAIAH Um, see you Wednesday? SAVVY Yeah. TINY I knew he was fine. ASTRID Girl, why were you standing so close? TINY Mm-hmm. SAVVY Girl, the man made me a spoon drawer. ASTRID No way. Oh, I see a man who knows what he's doing! Ah! Ooh, ooh! Ooh! SAVVY Okay, all right. I cannot believe you two. You're shameless. This is not even my sweater. TINY Duh, we know. ASTRID Oh. TINY Hey! SAVVY So the ingredient lists are all clickable, and they open to a larger explanation of how to handle each one. LUCIA Where is this copy from? SAVVY Um, I might have taken a crack at writing it. LUCIA This is your own copy? Explaining the uses of gianduja, and praliné, and frangipane? SAVVY Mm, yeah, I wasn't lying when I said that I read your books. Okay, true confession time. I sort of always really wanted to work on cookbooks. You know, write about cooking and food. LUCIA Why haven't you? SAVVY I guess I thought web design was more practical, and my ex thought so too. And maybe back then I let his idea of. practical become my idea of, well, everything. LUCIA And now you're seeing it differently. SAVVY Yeah, it's funny how hindsight works. I mean, I played it safe. Safe guy, safe job, safe everything. And it turns out that safe is just another word for stuck. And now I know what I really want. And it may not make sense to a lot of people, but it feels so right. LUCIA This is a more confident person than the one I met that first day with her greasy old fish sandwich. SAVVY Oh, I would eat another one if given the chance. LUCIA Me too. SAVVY I'm just, I'm trying to nourish my soul, like you said. LUCIA Great answer, Savvy Sheldon. I was thinking, why don't you come by the restaurant again and try out our holiday menu tasting? SAVVY Really? LUCIA On the house. Bring a couple friends and a notebook. SAVVY Chef, yes, chef. Okay, let me show you this first. LUCIA Okay. SAVVY I thought that this would. SAVVY Sorry I'm late. ISAIAH No worries. Can always find yourself something to do when you like to build and fix. SAVVY What is this? ISAIAH Oh, your cookbook shelf. It's a bit overcrowded and those seemed special. SAVVY Nani's cookbooks, they are the most special. It might be the most precious things that I own. ISAIAH Is that her over there? SAVVY Mm-hmm. ISAIAH She has Maya Angelou's eyes. SAVVY "Spice your dish with love, and it pleases every palate." ISAIAH Ah, so that's why everything you touch tastes so good. SAVVY Oh. ISAIAH Reminds me of my mom. SAVVY Really? ISAIAH Yeah, you never feel more loved than when someone cooks for you with their whole heart. My mom, when she was able before, used to cook me the sickest pepper pot for Christmas. And every year since, I've been trying to buy it from somewhere else but they just don't match hers. Hers always add a certain touch of sweetness to it. SAVVY Mm, mamas do it best. ISAIAH Yeah. SAVVY Nani Rose was a great teacher. She taught me right here in this kitchen. You know, maybe that's why I was resistant to changing it all. ISAIAH Well, the. the magic and the love aren't in the cupboards and the stove. Going by the way your food tastes, your grandmother left them with you. You gotta do something with that talent with what she left you. SAVVY Oh, you see my talent? ISAIAH Yes, I do, Savvy Sheldon. ISAIAH You should do something with it. SAVVY Like what? ISAIAH That is a great question. SAVVY Any thoughts on where I can find an answer? ISAIAH Well, I suppose we just keep working on this old place till we figure it out. SAVVY We? ISAIAH Yeah, I'm invested now. SAVVY Oh, this kitchen needs a rollaway island for exhausted sprawling and room to dance. ISAIAH That's what I've been telling you. SAVVY I'm way too starved to even think. ISAIAH Oh! Here. Have some energy. SAVVY Mm. ISAIAH Bad luck to bring back an empty container. SAVVY Is it bad luck? I thought it was just bad manners. ISAIAH Either way, I'm not trying to be that guy, all right. ISAIAH I don't really cook. But I figured I'd whip up a little pumpkin scones for you. SAVVY No one ever bakes for me. SAVVY They say it's too intimidating. ISAIAH Fools rush in where angels fear to bread. SAVVY Okay. SAVVY Mm. Mm. ISAIAH Oh, no. Are they bad? SAVVY Mm-mm. I'm just. I need some water. ISAIAH Oh. SAVVY Need some wa. ISAIAH Ah. SAVVY Oh. ISAIAH Here. SAVVY Thank you. Mm. Oh. ISAIAH Oh, you got a little, um. SAVVY What? ISAIAH water there. SAVVY Any chance you're free for dinner tonight? ISAIAH Yeah. SAVVY Mm. Oh, so good. SAVVY Oh. ASTRID Is that the same dress I got you? SAVVY It is, but it feels very different now. ASTRID Oh. OSCAR How is this truffle linguine thingy so good? ISAIAH You have unbelievable taste, buddy. I didn't even know what a truffle was when I was 11. WILL Yeah, and I thought they were chocolate until about 20 minutes ago. SAVVY Oh! ASTRID Lucky Oscar grew up with Aunt Savvy feeding him. OSCAR I have an adventurous palate. SAVVY You sure do. You know what, I was thinking I could show you how to make some simple dinners. ASTRID That's a great idea. SAVVY Yeah, and it'll help when Will goes off to work and you go to college. What? ASTRID We're still figuring it all out. WILL You're serious about this, huh? ASTRID Yeah. SAVVY Well, everyone has to grow. Even when you're in a relationship. ISAIAH Or maybe especially then, right? ASTRID You know, maybe when your kitchen's done, you can celebrate with a cooking class for Oscar. OSCAR Can Auntie Tiny come too? SAVVY Oh, I'm sure she'll insist on it. ASTRID Unless her pickle-ball coach calls, then, uh, she drops everything. SAVVY Oh, you mean like how she dropped us tonight? ASTRID Yeah. SAVVY Yeah. ISAIAH Ah, so I'm just the back-up date. LUCIA How is everything? ASTRID Amazing. ISAIAH Incredible. WILL Unreal. SAVVY Oh. LUCIA How would you spark up that truffled pasta, Savvy? SAVVY Um, I'd maybe add a sour component to set it all off. Maybe a tiny bite of jicama slaw on the side. LUCIA Why don't you come see my kitchen in action? We'll talk to the salad station about your slaw. Would anyone else care to see the magic? OSCAR Me? ASTRID You know what, I'll come too, just to make sure he doesn't stick his fingers in the tiramisu. LUCIA All right, come on. Have you ever been in a kitchen before? OSCAR No. Not yet. Can't wait to see it though. LUCIA And your Aunt Savvy has really been helping you improve. WILL So. Savvy. ISAIAH Am I that obvious? I'm out of touch with the whole dating thing, man. It's been way too long. WILL You know she just got out of a bad situation-ship, right? ISAIAH I don't even know what a situation-ship is. WILL Her ex-boyfriend moved out not too long ago. It was tough on her. She's been picking up the pieces. ISAIAH Yeah, she mentioned that. WILL And you're okay being the rebound guy? ISAIAH I hadn't really given it much thought. Just about Savvy being pretty special. WILL So I'm looking out for you. ISAIAH I appreciate it. WILL It rarely works out for the rebound guy. You know what I'm saying? ISAIAH Yeah. Yeah. SAVVY Morning. RYAN Alotta Body want their location lists updated ASAP. SAVVY Okay, I'll get right on that. RYAN Pet People want a revised header concept? SAVVY Okay, uh, second on my agenda. Oh, would you like a Thai spice burrito? I'm experimenting with lemongrass salsa. RYAN Ooh, yes, thank you. We've also got meetings this week with, uh, RW Property Management and Gerb's Animation. SAVVY What? RYAN You're killing it, Savvy. This is what happens when you start killing it. SAVVY I don't know how I'm gonna get all this done. I still have Chef Lucia. RYAN One word. Multitasking. You got to pay the cost to be the boss. That's a B.B. King reference. SAVVY Multitasking. Okay. I got it. RYAN You said you wanted more design stuff. You said you'd work as hard as Becca. SAVVY I'm on it. I'm on it. RYAN Okay. SAVVY Okay. RYAN Mm. OMG. The thrill is not gone. The thrill is back. Mm, that's a. B.B. King reference. Yeah. SAVVY B.B. King reference. I got it. I got it. RYAN Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. SAVVY Hello. RYAN I'm calling HR. ISAIAH Busy day? SAVVY Oh, my God. I signed on to do all this extra work for Chef Lucia. ISAIAH Because it lights you up. She obviously values your input. SAVVY Yeah, and she feeds my friends delicious meals, but now my regular job is popping off. ISAIAH That's amazing. Congrats. SAVVY Yeah, but then there's other life stuff that's piling up. It's just a lot. Oh, oh! Did you get the burritos I left? ISAIAH Oh, yeah. Lemongrass in that, right? SAVVY Yep. ISAIAH Delicious. SAVVY Oh, I'm sorry. I have to. ISAIAH No. All good. There's plenty of work to do here. SAVVY I'm so sorry. I have a thing. I have to go. ISAIAH Oh. Okay. Is everything all right? SAVVY Oh, no, it's fine. I mean, it's too weird to even tell you about it, so. ISAIAH Something to do with your ex, or. ? SAVVY What? SAVVY Where did you get that idea? ISAIAH Ah. Sorry, I-I shouldn't have asked. Um. it's cool. I'll, I'll lock up, and. good luck with the weird or whatever. SAVVY Okay. ASTRID Oh, barf. SAVVY Are you a Kraken? TINY I think it's cute. And so does Ken. SAVVY You signed us up for a tournament. TINY More like a friendly, unofficial tournament holiday fundraiser. Uh, uh. I told Ken that I would sponsor a team, and he said I had to actually produce a team. ASTRID Okay, so why aren't you doing it? TINY Oh. I'm on Ken's team. We're a pair. And here are your T-shirts. ASTRID Oh. Wow, okay, so all the creativity went to yours and we're just billboards with boobs. SAVVY I cannot play in a sports tournament. I have never played in a sports tournament. TINY Honey baby, you have proven over and over in the past few weeks that you can do things that you didn't think you could do. SAVVY Thank you. TINY Okay. Now go put these on, and don't let my name down. ASTRID The shirts literally just say Vitamins on them. TINY I guess Savvy's my favorite daughter today, Astrid. TINY Uh, excuse me, ladies. You can't even see my shirt. Ey-ey. What the rass! SAVVY This cannot be real life. ASTRID Keep smiling. KEN Tiny! We're up. Come on now. ASTRID Jason. JASON Hey, Astrid. And this is Leah. Savvy. You look great. It's really good to see you. Really good. ASTRID You good? SAVVY Yeah. Sometimes you just have to do it, and the motivation will follow. ASTRID Attagirl. JASON Game. ASTRID Nice try. SAVVY I got distracted. ASTRID You okay? SAVVY Yeah. He broke my heart and I put it back together. Getting beaten in pickle-ball is literally nothing. JASON Savvy. Savvy. SAVVY Hi. ISAIAH Hey. Hey. Um, is everything okay? SAVVY Yeah, I hope it's okay that I came by. I missed you. I know it's only been a couple of hours, but I did. ISAIAH Y-yeah, no, that's, that's okay, um. I was just relaxing, gonna watch a movie or something. SAVVY Well, can I come in and relax. with you? ISAIAH Um. Savvy, I would love to relax with you. It's, it's just, I really care about you. And I don't wanna be the rebound guy. Are you sure that you're over Jason and that you're ready for this? SAVVY Absolutely. Jason is my past, and I don't know what I feel about this, whatever this is. But I know what I feel about you. ISAIAH Is it good? SAVVY Oh, it's very, very good. ISAIAH Well, I'm glad you're not a client anymore. Because of the whole-- SAVVY Shh. Let's go relax now. SAVVY Mind. And we make the little sticks out of the big sticks. And that is how you julienne. OSCAR Aunt Savvy, you're like a real chef. Your job is so cool. SAVVY Oh, I wish that was my real job. OSCAR Why can't you? I don't-I don't get it. SAVVY Hey, it's time for bed. Go tell your mom I'm heading out. OSCAR Okay. SAVVY Oh. RYAN I bought you a few more hours. But I really need those Alotta Body changes. The ones you're supposed to do yesterday? SAVVY I know, I-- RYAN And before you even try. You can't food bribe your way out of this one, not even with a full turkey dinner, mashed potatoes, gravy, Yorkshire pudding. SAVVY I know I can't. RYAN Where is that hunger to beat Becca and take the top coding spot? SAVVY It's gone. RYAN Uh. That, that is not something you tell your boss, even if he is your biggest fan/friend. SAVVY I know, but. I can't keep doing this. RYAN Have you been drinking some expired eggnog or something? What's going on? SAVVY Ryan, I'm serious. I think I need to quit. RYAN How is this happening? You just asked me for more accounts, and then you absolutely crushed them. SAVVY Yes, and you know what that taught me? That I need to follow my heart or my soul, both, really. Look, you're a great boss. but this job is just not how I wanna spend my time. RYAN Okay. Fine. Tell me, w-what is your cockamamie plan? SAVVY I don't know, but it involves food and cooking and, I don't know, maybe even some cookbooks because that's what lights me up. Thank you for everything, Ryan. RYAN Are you saying I should. pursue a career in wonky pottery. SAVVY No, I'm definitely not saying that. Unless that's something you wanna do. Friends? RYAN Friends. On one condition. You bring me some lunch from time to time. SAVVY Oh, I think that I can handle that. RYAN Okay. JASON What's wrong? Looks like more than a pickle-ball loss. SAVVY Surprisingly perceptive. JASON I know you Savvy Sheldon. Whether you like it or not. SAVVY I, uh, quit my job today. JASON Did you get another? SAVVY No. Couldn't hurt, I guess. JASON Sorry, it's probably cold by now. JASON You wanna talk about it? SAVVY Uh, there's something I think I might wanna do. Anyway the real question is why are you on my steps? JASON Nothing happened between me and Leah. I messed up with you and I'd like. I'd like a chance to make it right. SAVVY Jason. We were not right for each other. I mean, we're too different. JASON Five years? We got along pretty well. SAVVY That's because I don't think you ever really saw me. I mean, how could you have? I never really saw her. Until I had to pick myself back up. But I've changed. JASON I miss you. SAVVY No. No, you miss what we had a long time ago. So you always said that I was stuck. And that I would never change, but now I have. JASON Somebody got smart. SAVVY And when all else fails, read your granny's cookbooks. JASON Come here. SAVVY Isaiah! Um. Uh, this is, uh, Jason. ISAIAH It's good to see you again. JASON Have we met? ISAIAH Here's your key. I can email you the invoice. I'll leave you to it. SAVVY Isaiah. JASON What was that? SAVVY With room to dance. ISAIAH Hi, you've reached Isaiah. Please leave a message. SAVVY Isaiah. This is the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen. Call me back, please. ASTRID And just nothing? SAVVY No, I-I called, I sent texts. I called again, nothing. TINY It's definitely a no to taking Jason back? ASTRID Tiny. TINY Well. a man in the hat is worth two in the bush. ASTRID Okay, don't listen to her. She doesn't know Isaiah. TINY Not yet. That is up to Savvy. SAVVY And what do I do? ASTRID Okay, let me see if I can help. Through the man grapevine. That's almost as powerful as ours. TINY Okay. You know, I've never quit a job in my life. SAVVY That's because you've never worked for anyone. You just sold to everybody that you know. Maybe that's a good job for you. Do you want to join the vitamin biz? SAVVY I'll let you know after this meeting. LUCIA Ryan just told me the news. I'm getting a new exec. Some chirpy little pain in the tuchus called Becca. SAVVY Becca's great. LUCIA What, what's going on with you? Why quit? SAVVY Because I wanna work with you, Chef Lucia. You know that I work hard, and I will do whatever. I will go above and beyond, the whatever. LUCIA I like working with you a lot, Savvy. But that doesn't mean I have spare positions on my staff. SAVVY I understand. But you told me, though. You said that it's important for a chef to trust their own tastes. And to express ourselves. That's what I'm doing. And maybe I still can't see the result. LUCIA Actually, I did send the video you made to my contacts at the food channel. Maybe we'll do a show together. SAVVY I can promise you more innovation and more laughs. And I promise to put my heart into every single thing that I do. LUCIA All right. SAVVY Really? LUCIA Really. ASTRID So you'll reach out to him? WILL I'll try, yeah. Savvy deserves a chance to explain herself, at least. ASTRID Hopefully more. Thank you. WILL You're welcome. ASTRID What's this, and who is it for? WILL Uh, that's your Christmas present. Yeah, it's this charger cord organizer box. ASTRID Cool. WILL Yeah. ASTRID Hmm. WILL Now, this was supposed to be your Christmas present. I just got the dock because I saw that Oscar needed it. WILL Yeah. You're gonna need it for college. ASTRID I, I thought you didn't want me to. WILL Astrid, I'm scared. If you change, the new you won't want old, stuck me. ASTRID I'm still your wife. I'll always love you. I'll just be wearing a cool adult sleek backpack and carrying a couple textbooks while I do it. WILL Mm. that sounds kind of hot. ASTRID Oh, really? WILL Yeah. SAVVY Come in. SAVVY Hey. ISAIAH I wanted to return this. SAVVY On Christmas Eve? ISAIAH I heard you wanted to see me. SAVVY I did. Because you see me. Isaiah, working on this kitchen together. it's the happiest I've been in a long time. I felt so understood. ISAIAH Well, you were, uh. a great client. SAVVY You make out with all your clients? ISAIAH Only the ones that make top pepper pot. SAVVY How did you know it was from me? ISAIAH It was sweet. The question is, was that heart? Or just brown sugar? SAVVY What do you think? SAVVY There's nothing going on between me and Jason. ISAIAH Are you sure? SAVVY He was never the guy for me. I never cared about jumping into a relationship again. I was just trying to sort myself out and then you came along. ISAIAH I don't wanna miss out on something special just because of bad timing. SAVVY Isaiah, I've changed so much. I cannot tell you how much bolder and more confident I am. You are not a rebound. You are a whole new wonderful direction. SAVVY Can I show you how much I love my new kitchen? LUCIA Thank you all for being here on this special night. The launch of my sixth cookbook. LUCIA It is special for many reasons. But the most exciting of these, my wonderful new collaborator, Savvy Sheldon. TINY Yeah! LUCIA It is rare to find someone that you can collaborate with as effortlessly as I have with this brilliant breath of fresh air. This book would not have been possible without you, Savvy. Now, get on up here. TINY Yeah! ISAIAH Savvy! TINY My baby. SAVVY Oh. LUCIA Are you one of Savvy's friends? TINY Oh, no, I'm her mother. Her very, very proud mother. KEN You know, you look kinda pale. Tiny, show her some of those vitamins. TINY Baby, hold on to that for one second. KEN Mm-hmm. TINY I have this right here. SAVVY Thank you, Chef Lucia. You have opened up my world by opening up your kitchen. And thank you, Nani Rose, for being the first person to show me how to cook with love. Thank you, Tiny. You have shown me life beyond the kitchen. She's always hated to cook, y'all. TINY It skipped a generation. SAVVY And thank you, Astrid and Oscar, who's given me light and life and bellies to fill to regular applause. ASTRID Mm-hmm. SAVVY To Isaiah who has elevated and renovated much more than just my kitchen. I promise to keep you happy and well fed for a very long, long time. Cheers, everybody. LUCIA Bravo. Congratulations. I'm so proud of you. ISAIAH You looked so beautiful up there. SAVVY You wanna get out of here? ISAIAH I mean, there's all this delicious food. SAVVY I have doubles and jerk at home. Handmade by a celebrity chef. ISAIAH Okay, okay. ISAIAH I'm a lucky man. SAVVY You know, I have a beautiful kitchen island that I'd love to show you. ISAIAH Oh, I like the sound of that. SAVVY Mm, I bet you do. ISAIAH I love you. SAVVY I love you.
