MAYA uh, book a bike at Spin Cycle for 8:00, then dinner for one at Cecchi, and set an alarm for 6:00 a.m. VESTA VOICE Your requests are confirmed. MAYA Oh. MAYA This is Maya Alvaro. MAYA "Allegra"? MAYA Allegra Adams? MAYA Yes! I'll hold. Executive Producer Oliver De Caigny MAYA Ms. Adams? Yes! MAYA Tomorrow? MAYA "The Whitewater Lodge"? That sounds lovely. Is it a spa? MAYA No, it's not a spa? Okay. MAYA Yes, I will. see you tomorrow. MAYA Okay, bye-bye. MARILYN Maya! MARILYN Can't wait to see that press release. MARILYN Are you okay? MAYA Allegra Adams just called me. MARILYN Allegra Adams? Vesta's CEO? Just called you? MAYA Yes! MARILYN Okay. MARILYN What about, exactly? MAYA She wants me to represent the Vesta East office at a corporate retreat in the Rocky Mountains. MARILYN When? MAYA I would leave tomorrow for four days. MAYA I can't take time off MAYA work! I'm still working on the bid for the HighlightREAL contract. MARILYN Uh, uh. MARILYN Why now? She knows that all four offices will be working on their launch proposals. MAYA Yeah! MARILYN Tch. Okay. MARILYN Allegra is bringing in one rep from each of the four regional MARILYN offices to a retreat in the Colorado mountains. MARILYN She's scouting. MAYA Scouting for what? MARILYN Scouting MARILYN for whom. Ah, she's not one of America's top CEOs for nothing. She is using this weekend retreat as a guise to cherry-pick which MARILYN office will take the lead on the HighlightREAL app. MAYA She is? MARILYN Think about it! MARILYN The app shares filterless photos from precise locations. What better way to showcase all of that than a wilderness retreat to the Rockies? MARILYN And you, Maya Alvaro, are representing MARILYN Vesta East's opportunity for greatness. MAYA I am? MARILYN Well, she knew MARILYN that I would see right through the whole set-up, but you, you are fresh bait for the forest. MAYA Forest bait? You know, I've never been to the Rocky Mountains. or any mountains. MARILYN Doesn't matter. MAYA Well, you know, Marilyn, I'm more of an "indoorsy" person. MARILYN Find MARILYN your outdoorsy. MARILYN There we go. It's gonna be tough competition. MARILYN I want you to take detailed notes and report back to me on all the employees there-- MARILYN their strengths, their weaknesses, and how we can use those MARILYN to our advantage. MAYA I really don't think I'm the best person for this. Actually, I'm probably the worst. MARILYN Which is exactly why she chose you. You are all going to be put through the churner, but the cream, Maya, the cream always rises to the top. MARILYN This is your chance to prove to me that you deserve the executive position you've been working so hard for. This is how you earn it. MARILYN Don't let me down. CARMEN I can't believe I get to housesit for you all weekend. MAYA That's if I last all weekend. MAYA Thank you, by the way. CARMEN What are little sisters for? Besides, I'm just gonna be studying, anyways. MAYA That's what I like to hear! How's the prep tutor working out? CARMEN You got me the best in the country. CARMEN I might even qualify for scholarships, just like you. MAYA Just remember, I'm gonna make sure you go to college, no matter what. CARMEN Yeah, but if you have to pay for my tuition, you're gonna be stuck in this apartment CARMEN forever. MAYA Well, what are big sisters for? MAYA Okay, what does the list say to pack for the outdoors? CARMEN Okay. hiking boots. MAYA Already wearing MAYA them! CARMEN Cute! CARMEN Uh, warm jacket? MAYA Mm. Check. CARMEN Hat? MAYA Check. CARMEN "Bear spray." MAYA Oh? MAYA I have this MAYA nice-smelling spray? CARMEN Check! CARMEN Okay. Swiss Army knife and non-perishable CARMEN food? MAYA Oh. MAYA Oh, I know! MAYA What about. MAYA this? CARMEN Looks Swiss to me! MAYA Yup! MAYA And "non-perishable"? CARMEN Granola bars? MAYA Yes! MAYA Bingo! All right. MAYA We're all set. You know what? This might actually MAYA be easy. VESTA VOICE Your flight to Colorado leaves in three hours. MAYA Thanks, Vesta. MAYA Whew. ALLEGRA Ahem. MAYA Oh! Allegra MAYA Adams! I was just catching my breath. ALLEGRA Nothing like mountain air, is there? MAYA Uh, no, I really can't get enough of it. MAYA literally. ALLEGRA It hits you different ALLEGRA a mile up. MAYA Yeah. MAYA Uh, Maya! MAYA Alvaro MAYA from the Vesta East offices in New York City. ALLEGRA I know ALLEGRA who you are, and you're late. ALLEGRA First challenge of the weekend has already begun. ALLEGRA Everyone's a cat. ALLEGRA and everyone's a mouse, and they're all hiding in the forest. ALLEGRA All you have to do is catch ALLEGRA them and capture their ribbon. First one to three wins. MAYA In there? ALLEGRA Oh, and when you get back, we'll find you a real pair of hiking boots. MAYA Thanks. "Catch and capture." Okay. And they're all MAYA hiding deep in the forest. MAYA Oh! I am so MAYA sorry! I thought you were a MAYA bear. MATT No! Not a bear! MAYA No. MATT No! MATT Person. MAYA Yeah. MATT Is that a gardenia? MAYA Oh, uh, thank you. It's-- It's French. MATT Mm, definitely French.

MAYA Oh! MATT So sorry! MATT So sorry! ALLEGRA Hello, everyone! And welcome to Vesta Technology's Adventure Retreat! ALL Whoo! ALLEGRA I am so thrilled to have you ALLEGRA all here for what I hope will be ALLEGRA a fun and rewarding ALLEGRA weekend. We've booked the entire ALLEGRA camp, so we will have the place to ourselves. ALLEGRA Now, some of you I know well. ALLEGRA and some of you ALLEGRA have already made your first impressions. ALLEGRA I'd like ALLEGRA to congratulate the winner ALLEGRA of "Cat and Mouse"-- ALLEGRA Matt Meyer ALLEGRA from Vesta West. LUIS Whoo! ALLEGRA Whoo! ALLEGRA Now, Matt may have won ALLEGRA the first team-building activity, but there will be ALLEGRA plenty more to ALLEGRA challenge yourselves with this weekend. ALLEGRA I'd like you to take your pen and paper ALLEGRA and write down something about ALLEGRA yourselves, anonymously. ALLEGRA Then, we'll see if we can guess who it ALLEGRA belongs to. ALLEGRA This is how we get to know our neighbor. ALLEGRA Now, it can be something professional. ALLEGRA personal ALLEGRA and when you're done, you can put-- ALLEGRA Thank you, Maya. MATT Look at you. ALLEGRA Thank you, Claire. ALLEGRA Thank you, Matt. MATT Mm-hmm. ALLEGRA Thank you, Luis. Luis? ALLEGRA Wait. Okay. LUIS "I have traveled to Antarctica, and I am fluent in four different languages." MAYA Only four? LUIS I'm going to guess. Claire. LUIS from Vesta South? CLAIRE It's five, but my Japanese is only conversational CLAIRE so. MATT Konnichiwa. ALLEGRA Wow! That is impressive. ALLEGRA Matt? Would you like to ALLEGRA take a turn? MATT Yes, of course. Ahem! MATT Okay. let's see. MATT "I am the best." MATT Allegra, is this yours? ALLEGRA Uh. MATT No, I'm joking. Okay. "I helped MATT refurbish old computers for low-income students and received a full-ride academic scholarship in return." ALLEGRA Wow. MATT Huh. Well, I'm going to go with my man, Luis MATT from Vesta North in Chicago, right? MATT No? LUIS No. MATT Oh. Okay. MATT Well, looks like it's. MATT Maya from Manhattan. MAYA It's just Maya. MATT Okay. And you're specific. MAYA Yeah. M-A-Y-A. MATT I know how to spell. Thank you. MAYA Oh, do you? That's MAYA refreshing. Ooh! MAYA Whoo! All right. MAYA "I like to wake up early and surf at sunrise before work." MAYA Mm. I'm gonna go with Malibu Matt. MATT Nope. Right state, wrong tax bracket. I'm from Big Sur. MATT Try again. LUIS Actually. I'm the surfer. MATT Oh, nice. LUIS We get some decent swells on Lake Michigan in the summer. ALLEGRA Very cool ALLEGRA Luis! That means last one is ALLEGRA Matt's, so, Maya, would you like to read it? MAYA Sure. MAYA "I MAYA volunteer fighting wildfires during the dry season on the Pacific Coast." ALLEGRA So brave. MATT No, no. It's my Please, stop. ALLEGRA You're all already so adventurous, which is good, because, for the next three days, we are going to be totally immersed in the great ALLEGRA outdoors, tackling challenges that will test ALLEGRA our mental and physical limits. Now ALLEGRA tomorrow morning, we're all going to be loading into the raft and heading down Regal ALLEGRA River. We'll be stopping for activities along the way, and the adventure will culminate ALLEGRA in a whitewater raft down Breakneck Bend! MATT Nice! LUIS What's "Breakneck Bend"? ALLEGRA Class-four rapids ALLEGRA towering waves, pummeling ALLEGRA falls-- it's gonna be a wild ride ALLEGRA and I can't wait to plunge ALLEGRA right in! Whoo-hoo! MAYA I'm sorry, all this water talk has, uh. Will you excuse me? ALLEGRA Whitewater ALLEGRA rafting? Yeah? MATT Yeah! MATT I'm so excited MATT to be back. It's nice meeting you. I love the fact that. MAYA Luggage, luggage. where did they put the luggage? Oh, yes! MAYA Marilyn, hi! MARILYN Maya, are you there? Allegra called me and told me that you were late. MAYA Car service had trouble finding MAYA the place. It's "in the mountains" in the mountains. Two hours of gravel road. I mean, the wheels almost didn't make it. and neither did mine. MARILYN So, how's it going? MAYA Uh, well MAYA turns out Allegra made a mistake asking me here, so, um, I was just about to leave. Everyone has way more experience in the outdoors. I mean, they've been to Antarctica. They fight wildfires. Luis surfs in Chicago. I mean, they're the ones who should-- MARILYN Wait MARILYN the firefighter, who is that? Matt Meyer? MARILYN Vesta West? MAYA Why, you know him? MARILYN He single-handedly fought off a wildfire that threatened to MARILYN destroy Allegra's beach house. If anyone's getting the HighlightREAL contract, it's him. MAYA Well, he's very rude. MARILYN Rude or not, he's her biggest hero and our biggest competition. MAYA It's impossible for me to impress Allegra under these circumstances. It's like Survivor, and I'll be the first one voted off the island. MARILYN You're gonna do great. You're the second-hardest worker I know. MAYA Who's number one? MARILYN Me. MARILYN Now, do you want this promotion or not? MAYA Are you saying the executive position is mine if Allegra gives us HighlightREAL? MARILYN Secure the project and you will have a much better job when you get back. MARILYN Have fun! MAYA Okay. JIM You looking for the guest lodges? MAYA Oh. JIM Hi. Jim Burdett. I own the Whitewater Lodge. MAYA Oh, hi, Jim. Uh, Maya. JIM Nice to meet you, Maya. MAYA I was just, uh. JIM Oh. Tch. Little advice? Uh, if you take that way. JIM it's just gonna go back to the same-old, but if you take this way JIM it could be towards the greatest adventure of your life. JIM and when you're handed something like that, you should probably JIM just take it. MAYA I must've been turned around. JIM Yeah, of course! MAYA Yeah. JIM Tell you what-- if you ever get, uh, "turned around" in these parts again and need to find your way back, you can use one of these. MAYA Pocket watch? JIM It's a compass. MAYA Right! Thanks. JIM You're welcome. JIM Tell you what. I will take this to your room. We have the finest beds this side of Regal River. JIM Actually the only beds this side of Regal River. MAYA Oh! JIM Unless, of course, you count the forest bed. MAYA What's a "forest bed"? ALLEGRA Thank you, Maya. Very thoughtful. MAYA You're welcome. LUIS Look, when you catch the perfect wave, it is the best, I'm telling LUIS you. It is so, so good. MATT Maya from Manhattan. MAYA Again, it's just "Maya." MATT Okay. Just Maya. I know who you are. MATT You're the reason the "Time for MATT Love" dating app went viral last year. MAYA Actually, my entire team deserves credit for that. MATT Okay MATT but The Times did the expos on you. MAYA I'm a New Yorker. MAYA No one in the city has time for love, so I suggested that the window of availability be. shorter. MATT Okay, so you thought two minutes to make a good impression was fair? MAYA I pitched one. MAYA Most of us can judge first impressions in an instant. MATT So that's what you're doing. You're here to try and make a good impression on Allegra? MAYA Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to wear a hat at dinner? MATT Yeah MATT maybe-- in New York-- but out West, we're MATT a little more laidback, and besides, it's not MATT just a hat, it's. MATT it's my lucky hat. MAYA Oh, yeah? MAYA Is that because it belonged to Babe Ruth? 'Cause it looks about 100 years old. MATT You know, it's smart to wear a hat MATT in the woods. You don't want to get bitten by a tick, or worse. MAYA Don't you have a fire to put out, or something? MATT No, currently, I'm trying to figure out why a city girl like you MATT is at a wilderness retreat. MAYA Because I was invited. MAYA And. I'm trying MAYA to bond with my coworkers and enjoy the great outdoors. MATT That's wonderful. MATT Well, you have a bug on your shoulder. MATT Hmm! ALLEGRA Okay. ALLEGRA I am retiring early, because we have to get up at ALLEGRA dawn for a safety meeting before we head out. I will see you two in the morning, huh? MAYA & MATT Goodnight. MATT Whoa, whoa! Where are you going? MATT I thought the whole point was to bond with your coworkers. MAYA Maybe tomorrow. MAYA Hello? Any bugs? Any bears? SONG PLAYS I am SONG PLAYS here SONG PLAYS I am SONG PLAYS here for SONG PLAYS you MAYA Late again! MAYA Coffee! MAYA Coffee! Okay. JIM You're gonna be wearing your safety equipment at all times, making sure it fits properly and is secure. MAYA Extra hot, two milks, one sugar MAYA just how you like it. ALLEGRA I had my coffee hours ago. MATT I'll take one. MATT Nice pants. JIM Okay. Now, the Regal River runs east to west, with the occasional eddy. JIM Luckily for us, the snowpack is melting this time of year-- yay! JIM The waters will be strong. JIM If you ever hear me yell JIM "high side," that's a signal for everybody to move to-- where? JIM Maya, yes? MAYA Uh, uh. the front? JIM Maybe. JIM Matt? MATT The high side. JIM Correct, Matt! You win the prize. We all move to the high side to JIM level the raft in a last-ditch effort to keep it JIM from capsizing. JIM If you are thrown from the raft, please don't panic. Just go into what we call the "lawn chair" position-- toes up, face up-- go down the river feet first, until we come over and JIM pull you into the raft. JIM Okay! We're gonna be making JIM several stops along the way, where we'll set up camp, so I promise you JIM this is gonna be both fun and challenging. So as always. ALL Safety first! MAYA Safety first. JIM Safety first, yes, yes, yes. Good job. All right! JIM Uh, let's rendezvous here at JIM 0900. That'll give some of us a little extra time to, uh. get JIM organized. MATT Hey, uh, you need a hand? JIM Everyone! JIM I'd like your attention, please. JIM Let's have a moment of silence for what we're about to experience JIM so I'd like you all to close your eyes JIM and just. JIM listen-- listen for that rumble in the distance. JIM Feel it. connect to it. JIM That sound of raw, untamed energy is the river at its most unforgiving. Take a deep breath and just try to remember this moment. As we navigate these rapids together, let that rumble guide you. It's not just water-- it's a. force that we'll conquer together. JIM but always with respect for its power. JIM Okay! JIM Let's load up! MATT Let's do it. JIM Maya? You all right? MAYA Yeah! I, uh. MAYA I think I'm gonna sit this one out. MATT Wait, you're bailing? MAYA Uh, no, I'm not technically bailing. It's just that I would. MAYA prefer to commune with nature peacefully rather than with MAYA big adrenaline rushes. JIM Okay, totally fine JIM Maya. Hey, listen, there's a-- there's a path along the JIM river. Follow that, you'll only be about JIM about 20 minutes behind us. MATT Now, don't mind MATT the bears! MAYA Okay! MAYA Yeah! I'll, uh, I'll see you there! MAYA Have fun with the rapids! JIM Hey, Maya! JIM How was the hike? MAYA Oh, it was quite peaceful, actually. JIM You know there's no pressure to do any more JIM rafting, if you don't want to. There's plenty to do at the Lodge, and I can have one of the guides walk you back JIM if you like-- any time. MAYA Oh, uh, well, thanks, Jim. I'll keep that in mind. JIM Oh, and, uh, we set up a change tent for you. MAYA Uh-- ALLEGRA Okay, everyone, gather around! ALLEGRA Okay, so, this ALLEGRA beautiful piece of land will serve as our camp ALLEGRA for the night. Each of you will have your own ALLEGRA site, but you have to figure ALLEGRA out which direction it's in. ALLEGRA The directions of your sites are on your maps. Whoever finds ALLEGRA theirs and sets up first. wins. MAYA Oh! MAYA Aha! MAYA Found it. Yes! Okay. LUIS Sorry, Maya. I think this one's mine. MAYA Uh, how do you know that? LUIS Oh, uh, my compass. MAYA I have one of those, too! MAYA Uh. how does this thing work? LUIS Oh, uh, well, you hold it level in your hand like this. Yeah. MAYA Oh! MAYA "North, south, east, west." Like our offices. LUIS Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? That's my passion at Vesta, too. MAYA Directions? LUIS Locations. I pitched the "precise location" feature on HighlightREAL a couple months ago. MAYA That was your idea? LUIS That was me! MAYA That's a MAYA really exciting addition to the app. Congratulations. LUIS Oh, thanks! LUIS Hey, let's see if we can find your real-world campsite, huh? MAYA Okay. LUIS Okay, so hold it level. MAYA Yeah. LUIS Yeah, there you go. See MAYA Great! Yeah! MAYA Now we're talkin'. MAYA Hoo! MAYA Great. MATT It's, uh, easier to lay the tent flat and then work the poles through it. MAYA Okay, I don't need MAYA help. MAYA Thank you. MATT Yeah. Yeah, no. Looks like MATT you have everything under control. MATT Lots of tenting in Manhattan, I see. MAYA Someone already won? MATT Looks like it. MAYA Ugh, gross. ALLEGRA Well done! MATT Thank you. ALLEGRA Is that a doormat? MATT It is. Took some fallen branches and just MATT wove them together. ALLEGRA Well, Claire won for speed, but you definitely get the creativity award. MATT Ah JIM A fine outdoorsman, indeed. MATT Thank you. JIM And, uh JIM don't forget to look up. ALLEGRA What's that? JIM Bear bin. JIM Keeps your food away from hungry critters. MAYA Bears? MATT Yup. Finally put my Cub Scout skills to work. MAYA Bears? Visiting? ALLEGRA Very clever. JIM Don't worry, Maya. JIM If you see a bear, you just make JIM yourself as big as possible JIM and slowly back away. No problem. ALLEGRA Well, that just leaves one campsite ALLEGRA for assessment. MAYA Oh. MAYA I was going for more of an MAYA outdoor experience. MAYA The stumps help keep MAYA most of it off the ground, uh, for dryness and. more of a comfy sleep. MAYA and away from the bugs. MATT Hmm. MAYA I think I was missing a few pieces to really. complete the vision. JIM Well, um, I'm not sure how much sleep you're gonna get, but I find it to be very. JIM uh, inventive. MAYA Yes. ALLEGRA Perhaps ALLEGRA you'll find more success in our next challenge. MAYA I can't wait. MATT Personally, I like it. MATT Wow. Who built this? JIM Myself and my team. It took three years of planning, two years to build. JIM All part of the Whitewater Lodge experience. ALLEGRA All right, everyone ALLEGRA time for your challenge, and this time, we're gonna partner up. MAYA Please not Matt. Please not Matt. Please not. ALLEGRA Claire and Luis, Maya and Matt. MAYA Ah! ALLEGRA This challenge will be all about teamwork and trust. You're going to be leading each other ALLEGRA across the ropes. .blindfolded! MATT Wow! Okay. ALLEGRA Let's see what you got! MAYA Yay. MAYA Well, I think you should go first. MATT No, no. I insist. Oh, come on. MATT You'll be fine. I'll say "steady" until your foot's in place, and when your foot's in place, I'll say "set." You put it down and step forward, okay? ALLEGRA Is there a problem up there? MAYA Uh, no! Just, uh, enjoying the view! MATT Great view. MAYA Kind of. MATT And. heel in place. Steady. MATT Set. Good. MATT That's it. Left foot up. MATT Heel in place. Set. ALLEGRA Everything okay? MAYA Oh, yeah, I just, uh, I forgot my circus shoes at home! MATT Ready and-- Oh! MATT You got it? MATT Steady. MAYA Are we close? MATT Yeah, almost MATT there. MAYA Okay. MATT Steady, set. That's it. MATT Steady, set. Look at you go! MAYA Oh, yeah, look at me. MAYA Steady, set. MATT Nice! MATT Look, you're doing it! MATT Steady, set. ALLEGRA You got it! MATT Right foot up and you'll feel the platform. ALLEGRA Yeah! MATT There you go! There you go! You got it! MAYA Whoo! LUIS Come on! MATT Yes, it is. MAYA You are. ready. MATT Okay, here I go. MATT Am I-- am I set? MAYA Uh, you're set. MATT All right. MAYA Steady. MAYA set. Oh, looking great. ALLEGRA Good! MAYA I'm really proud of you! MATT Oh, I-- MAYA Set. MATT Good. MAYA Oh, yeah! Yeah, you got it, you got it! MAYA Okay, and. MATT Whoa! LUIS Oh! MATT Whoa! MATT I thought you said "set!" MAYA I-- I thought you were ready! MATT Ah JIM He's okay. MAYA Yeah, I'm so sorry to keep you hanging. MATT Oh, good! You're making jokes! That's funny. MATT I like that. I miss funny. MAYA You look great. Well, I'm gonna go get some help. MAYA Won two challenges in a row! MAYA Way to go, Claire. CLAIRE Anything to get the shot. I mean. look at this view! MAYA Wow! I've never seen so many shades of green. MAYA You're a great photographer. CLAIRE Thank you. I-I just love capturing CLAIRE nature in its raw, unfiltered beauty. MAYA You know, I was just thinking "nature doesn't need a filter." That would look great on someone's HighlightREAL. CLAIRE Right? MAYA Yeah. CLAIRE I am so grateful that Allegra took on my suggestion. I want our future to be one that celebrates the beauty in imperfections. MAYA Mm. As someone with a younger sister, I couldn't agree more. MAYA So filterless photos was your idea? CLAIRE Well, I got the inspiration when I was in Antarctica. Nature CLAIRE just doesn't make mistakes. ALLEGRA Okay, so. even though this weekend is all about ALLEGRA bonding, I love a little friendly competition, so I've been keeping score. ALLEGRA Yes, Maya? MAYA Will there be a prize for the highest score? ALLEGRA A prize? Like what? MAYA Uh, I don't know. maybe something we would all want? ALLEGRA Hmm. ALLEGRA Well, I'll have to see how many Vesta mugs we have in storage. ALLEGRA Now, some of you ALLEGRA have dominated the individual challenges-- Claire-- ALLEGRA And on the high-wire ALLEGRA I was able to see how well you work together. ALLEGRA So, this next set of challenges, you'll be working with your partner ALLEGRA .as a team. ALLEGRA Now, Jim did ALLEGRA a really excellent job building this name board. So, for ALLEGRA every challenge you win ALLEGRA you'll move up the leaderboard, and. ALLEGRA for every challenge you ALLEGRA lose. ALLEGRA the negative points will move you down. ALLEGRA Okay? MATT You're goin' down. MAYA We're a team. MAYA Ah. MAYA I hope you all like hot dogs. LUIS We do! LUIS There you go. So, Allegra, tell us about how you started Vesta. ALLEGRA Oh, you guys don't want to hear that story. LUIS Oh, come on! ALLEGRA Oh.kay. Uh, this was just when ALLEGRA social media was starting, so I wanted to meet new friends, not just "friends" ALLEGRA the ones I knew. MATT Is that when MATT you started ScrollMates? ALLEGRA That's how it happened, and now Vesta has dozens of ALLEGRA apps over multiple platforms, but ALLEGRA it all started with the desire to connect. JIM It's really brilliant. CLAIRE How do you do it all? ALLEGRA I can't ALLEGRA tell you the last time I had a holiday. MAYA Except for this weekend. MAYA You're not working MAYA this weekend, right? ALLEGRA Right. No, I'm. not working this weekend. ALLEGRA Anyway! ALLEGRA Enough about me. I want to know about you. The final challenge ALLEGRA of the day is. "random words of kindness." ALLEGRA Tell us traits about your partner that you admire. JIM Actually, you know, I would like to start on this one, if I may. JIM Um. I think JIM it's obvious to everybody that Allegra is intelligent, kind, funny, thoughtful, poised-- ALLEGRA Jim, I'm blushing. JIM Just gettin' started here! JIM I've also watched her be fearless, independent JIM and really eager to learn. JIM So, this is why I'm gonna declare Allegra my partner for the rest of the adventure. MAYA Ooh! JIM I think it'd be a lot more fun for everyone if JIM Allegra was alongside. And. ta-dah! MAYA & LUIS Aw ALLEGRA Well, thank you ALLEGRA for this promotion. I hope ALLEGRA to be a worthy partner. ALLEGRA Moving along the circle, Maya ALLEGRA what do you have to say about your ALLEGRA partner, Matt? MAYA Uh. MAYA Matt. MAYA he's, um. MAYA He's Matt! MATT That's my name. MAYA Uh. MAYA Wh-- MAYA What I mean by that is. MAYA He's confident. MAYA He can make a fire! MATT Well, thanks. Maya. That was. heartfelt. JIM Ah! ALLEGRA Whoo, whoo! JIM Bravo, bravo. ALLEGRA Whoo! LUIS Thank you, thank you. JIM What a night. What a trip. JIM It's only fitting that my last run-down Regal River would be my best. ALLEGRA What do you mean, your last run-down Regal River? JIM Uh, well, uh JIM It seems that tourists prefer warm sun JIM and white sand over whitewater, so we're, uh. shutting down the lodge next JIM month. MATT But the-- the season isn't over yet. JIM I know, but, uh JIM I made the difficult decision JIM to shut the lodge down a few months ago, and JIM I at least wanted to accommodate your group. JIM And I'm glad I did. ALLEGRA Thank you. JIM Luis JIM that was fantastic. JIM A lovely way to end the evening. JIM Thank you. MAYA Yeah, uh, L-Luis, that was incredible. MAYA I'm sorry. I'm gonna go to bed-- if I ever want to move up from last position, um. tch, goodnight! JIM Goodnight, Maya. MATT Goodnight. ALLEGRA We should all ALLEGRA go to bed. We have a a big day tomorrow! MAYA Okay. MAYA Hi. Hi, I'm here. I'm here. MARILYN Tell me Allegra loves you, you're besties, and she's giving you the contract. MAYA She's, uh, warming up to me. MARILYN Warming up? Things should be boiling by now. You should be MARILYN wearing those "BFF" necklaces and be going for pedicures. MAYA Oh. I could go for a pedicure. MARILYN Maya. MAYA I'm sorry. It's just that all these other Vesta employees are, like, really impressive. MARILYN I sure hope you have notes for me. MAYA Uh, yeah. Um. MAYA okay, there's Luis. MAYA He's from Vesta North in Chicago. MAYA Nice guy. Uh. he's a great guitarist, and he designed the location tech for HighlightREAL. MARILYN Location guy. Okay. So he won't MARILYN get lost, but. Oh! MARILYN He wears glasses. Maybe they could go missing. MAYA You want me to hide his glasses? MARILYN I'm just saying that maybe they could get misplaced MARILYN in the river. MAYA Uh, Claire is from. MAYA um, Houston. She's sweet and smart. MAYA Filterless photos was her idea MAYA and she's a great photographer. MARILYN Is she taking pictures? MAYA Yeah. MARILYN Start taking pictures, Maya. I need you to be snapping selfies like you're getting paid to promote trees. MAYA Why? MARILYN Claire's obviously assembling an arsenal, and I need you to do the same MARILYN because, when Allegra launches HighlightREAL, I need your pictures attached to the profile. MAYA "Nature influencer." I got it. MAYA Um. and then there's. Matt. MARILYN You paused. MAYA I-I what? MARILYN You said, "And then there's Matt," and you paused like you were lost in a daydream. MAYA No, I-I'm not daydreaming. He's just. it's-- Matt's just, um. MARILYN Handsome, charming, and a great dancer? MARILYN Maya, I've seen him work his magic at many a holiday party. It's an act. MARILYN like a Venus flytrap. He sets a very safe and inviting atmosphere, and then. MARILYN Don't fall for it. You're smarter than that. MAYA It's just that we're on the same team. It would be hard to try to get rid of him and finish in first place. MARILYN Competition too tough for you? MAYA No! And. maybe it's not a competition. Maybe Allegra is just trying to-- MARILYN It is MARILYN a competition, trust me. It's dog-eat-dog, and you better start eating MARILYN or you're gonna be dinner. MATT Ain't no coffee like camping coffee. What's going on? MAYA I just-- I can't seem to. MATT Oh. Well, it's, uh, all about the spark. MATT There it goes. MAYA Thanks. MATT Pretty amazing view, huh? MAYA Yeah! MATT Yeah. MATT Mm! MAYA Oh! MATT Gotta take a picture. JIM Morning, guys. How'd you sleep? MATT Like a baby. JIM Ah! MAYA You know, I never understood that saying. I'm the oldest of five siblings, and let me MAYA tell you-- babies do not like to sleep. JIM Hmm! Well, then, I slept like a baby. MATT Hmm? JIM Lots on my mind. JIM You know, shutting down the lodge. I never really said it out loud until I told all of you last night. MAYA Do you know what you're gonna do instead? JIM Nah. JIM I've spent most of my days out here alone. Seen a lot of people come, a lot of people JIM go. Hmm. JIM Well, sometimes, I wonder if I've let life and love pass me by. MAYA Well, it's never too late to start something new. MAYA Look at me! MAYA Look at Allegra. She might seem more interested in eliminating analog MAYA instead of actual logs MAYA but the retreat was her idea. JIM You might be right. Sometimes, our differences end up complementing each other the most. MATT Well, you know what they say-- opposites attract. JIM Hmm. MAYA Hey. You know what you MAYA should do? Bring Allegra MAYA her morning coffee. JIM Really? MATT Yeah, that's a good idea. MAYA Yeah. JIM Okay. All right. MATT Hey, Jim, that's a lot of eggs. You MATT cookin' breakfast for a giant? JIM These eggs are not for scrambling. ALL Oh! MATT Bull's-eye! Whoo-hoo! CLAIRE Nice. MATT Yeah. ALLEGRA Nice ALLEGRA demo, Matt! Endurance, precision-- plain and simple ALLEGRA it's a race. Every time ALLEGRA you hit the bull's-eye, 30 seconds will be ALLEGRA taken off your final time. Now balancing ALLEGRA an egg on a spoon, you will take ALLEGRA it from this central station to a target ALLEGRA area further down the path, where you must ALLEGRA hit six targets. ALLEGRA After a successful hit, return for another egg. You drop the egg, you come back. You miss the target, you come ALLEGRA back! Are you ready? ALLEGRA And go! ALLEGRA Go, go, go, go, go! ALLEGRA Go, go, go! Go, go! MATT So what's with all the pictures you keep taking? MAYA I'm just making memories. MATT Oh, yeah? I'm sure you can't wait to get home and relive this whole thing. MAYA What's that supposed to mean? MATT It means whatever you're doing here, it's clearly not to enjoy the great outdoors. MATT So whatever angle you're playing, I'm not gonna let you sabotage me again. MAYA I'm here for the great outdoors! I love MAYA wilderness! MAYA Okay. MATT Yes! CLAIRE Whoo! MAYA Oh, so close! MATT Yes! MAYA Ee! Ohh! Darn it. MATT Whoa, whoa, whoa! MAYA Yeah! JIM You've got a little egg on your face. MAYA Literally or metaphorically? JIM Literally. JIM So have you decided if you're gonna be going on with the, uh, raft? JIM It's gonna be considerably rougher JIM from here on out. The offer to walk back still stands. MAYA Oh, I'll be riding the waves till the very end. JIM Good. MAYA But I may need two or three more of these. JIM That's funny. MAYA Uh. okay. JIM Big water ahead! MATT You're gonna be fine. MATT It's actually a lot of fun. MAYA "Fun"? MATT Yeah, fun. MAYA No, "fun" MAYA is trying to find a seat on the subway during rush hour. This is not fun. MATT Whoo! MATT Aren't you loving this? MATT Whoo! MATT Great stuff! MATT Whoo-hoo-hoo! We did it. CLAIRE Whoo! MAYA & MATT Yeah! MATT One! Two! Three! ALL Whoo! MATT See? I told you it was MATT gonna be fun. MAYA Yeah! MAYA It was-- it was pretty fun. MATT I saw you smiling! MAYA Yeah. MAYA Here, um let's take MAYA a selfie. MATT Yeah. MATT Okay MAYA Good job. MATT You too! MATT Yeah, I thought MATT I'd be further up the leaderboard. MATT I hit three bull's-eyes. ALLEGRA You also egged your partner. MAYA Hmm! MATT Right. MATT That was unfortunate. Sorry, Maya. MAYA Mm-hmm. MAYA Well, I might be in last place MAYA but, uh, I set up my tent, and that is a win for me! ALLEGRA Well, that was quite the wild ALLEGRA ride downriver today, huh? MATT Yeah! MAYA Whoo! ALLEGRA So, our next challenge will be more of a reward-- something where you can sit ALLEGRA back, relax, and enjoy the view. MAYA I'm just gonna straighten out my name. MAYA Excuse me. MAYA Oh. Yeah. There it is. MAYA That's a lot better. CLAIRE You got this! Whoo! MAYA This is gonna hold us. all the way across? MATT Yeah. Industrial-strength cables. You couldn't be safer. MATT unless, of course, we were on the ground. MAYA I think I would prefer being blindfolded. MATT All right, ready? MAYA No. LUIS Seriously! It's so LUIS easy! CLAIRE It really is! MAYA Thanks! I feel so much better now! MATT Not helping MATT Luis! JIM Let's go! MATT You got this, all right? MATT On the count of three. MATT One. CLAIRE Go for it! MATT Sit. MATT Two. MAYA Three! MATT Wasn't so bad. MAYA Yeah, that was. pretty great. ALLEGRA Well done! MATT Thank you. MAYA Oh, thanks. JIM That was a close one. MAYA Wow. LUIS I got this. CLAIRE Pull up with your core! LUIS Okay, maybe, maybe. MAYA Uh, I don't know if I can do that one. MATT Yeah. yeah. It, uh, does look a lot more physical than just sitting and screaming, but I-- I think it's doable. LUIS If I just righten myself into. MAYA Okay. Sixth grade? We took this class trip to Coney Island MAYA and our cart got stuck on the rollercoaster. MATT Eh. MAYA at the edge MAYA of the highest point. Six hours later, the fire department was able to get us down. MATT Okay, yeah, that sounds terrifying. MATT But that is. not this. You can do this. Hey. We. We can do this. MAYA I don't know. MATT All right, look. We haven't won a challenge yet. MATT This-- This is our chance. MATT I'll even take a video. I'm sure it'll impress whoever you're taking all these photos for. What do you say? LUIS I got it! CLAIRE Yeah? LUIS Yeah, I got it LUIS figured out. CLAIRE You want help? MAYA I'm sorry. I can't. MAYA Whoa. JIM Well, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is, we were burgled by a bear. Seems that somebody left their food in the tent, which attracted said bear. Now, nobody's to blame, but, unfortunately, the bear did make off with our provisions for dinner tonight. CLAIRE All right, so what's the good news? JIM The good news is, tonight's dinner is, "you catch it, you eat it"-- JIM gourmet meal foraged from the bounty of the wild. So after we finish cleaning up this mess here JIM I'm gonna teach you how to fish. Mm-hmm. MAYA Uh, hey, Luis? I MAYA found your glasses. You left them MAYA on the platform. LUIS Thank you, Maya. I was worried there might be a bear out there, wearing LUIS my glasses. I couldn't do anything without these. LUIS Thank you. MAYA You're welcome. MATT Hey-hey. Look at you, getting the hang of it! MAYA Thanks. Hey, um. sorry about my panic attack. MATT Nah. You don't gotta apologize. Besides. well MATT to tell you the truth, I didn't want to be up there anyway. MATT If I'm being completely honest, I, um. I'm a little afraid of heights. MATT Yeah! MATT Don't tell anyone. MAYA Okay. MAYA Fish! MAYA Whoo-hoo! MATT That was fast. Okay, slow, slow. Reel it in. MATT That's it, that's it. Okay, give it some slack, if it wants to run. MATT That's it! You're doing great. Okay, it's surfacing! MATT It's a. MAYA Ah-- .a branch? MATT Yeah, it's a branch. MAYA Oh. JIM Uh, you know what? I wouldn't worry JIM about it. You know, fishing's not for everybody, but there is another JIM way you can contribute to dinner. Lucky for us, it's JIM mushroom season, and there should be plenty to harvest, south side of that slope. JIM Here's a little tip. Check out the base JIM of Douglas Firs. You remember what those look like? MAYA Like the ones who need a moisturizing mud mask. JIM Uh. JIM Yes? JIM Yeah. MAYA Yeah. JIM Okay. Matt, why don't you go JIM with her and be back before sundown? MATT Let's go! JIM Have fun! Bring the JIM basket! And a log for dinner-- great. MATT Hey! Did you find anything yet? MAYA Just these. MATT Uh, that's a pine cone. MAYA Ahh. Ha! MATT And that is bark. MAYA Well, I just don't want to show up empty-handed. MATT I bet you there's a lot of mushrooms over there. MAYA Uh-uh. Nope. MATT No, come on. Look at all the Douglas Firs. MAYA I would not cross this bridge MAYA if there was guaranteed treasure on the other side. MATT It'd be a MATT great photo. MAYA No. MAYA That's your thing, not mine. Okay? If you wanna come to Queens in the middle of the night, I'm your gal, but I am not MAYA stepping foot on this bridge. MATT I don't like heights either MATT but we can do this. together. MATT What do you think? MAYA I can't believe I'm gonna-- okay. MATT That's it! MATT Easy. Easy. MATT It's actually way higher than I thought. MAYA Yeah! Oh, great, great. Thanks. MATT Wow. MAYA What? What-what-what? What is it? What is it? MATT It's incredible. MAYA Wow. MAYA Thank you. MATT You see over there? MAYA Wow. MATT How it comes around? MAYA Yeah. MAYA Are you sure we can eat these? MATT Well, let's ask Jim. MAYA Who decided this, anyway? I mean, was it someone who just said, um, "Hey, these could kill you," or "these could make you feel sick." MATT Mm-hmm. MAYA Or. MAYA "These would go great with steak." MATT Whoa. Do you hear that? MAYA What is that? MATT It sounds like a waterfall. MATT Come on! MATT That's it. MATT All right? MAYA Whoa. wow. MATT What do you think? MAYA I love it! MAYA You can't find this back home. I could stand here all day. MATT "Maya from Manhattan." MAYA Why do you keep calling me that? MATT I don't know. You called me "Malibu Matt." I thought it was some East Coast term-of-endearment thing MATT like "Jenny from the block." MATT I mean, I could stop, if it bothers you. MAYA Nah, it's okay. I kind of like it. MAYA I can't believe tomorrow's our last day. MATT I know. I don't want it to end. MATT Hey, do you want me to take a photo of you? I mean, you haven't taken one MATT all day. MAYA Huh. I guess I've just been too busy enjoying myself. MAYA Besides MAYA some things are best kept where they are. MATT I completely agree. MATT As much as I love our little oasis, we should probably get back. MAYA Yeah. Back to our cut-throat corporate retreat with death-defying challenges. MAYA Ooh! MAYA Uh. is it just me, or does it feel like we're going in the wrong direction? MATT No, it's the-- the same path we took right before we crossed the bridge. MAYA Are you sure? Because I think we took a couple of wrong turns back there. MATT What? Wrong turn? No. No, no. I mean, it's possible this is the scenic route. MAYA Or. it's possible we're lost. MATT Yeah. MATT I think we might be lost. MATT Okay. Okay, if I remember anything from Scouts, it's, "If you are lost, stay where you are MATT until help comes." MAYA Or. we could stop saying we're lost. MATT Yes. MAYA Yeah. MATT Yeah, 'cause we're just. MATT exploring alternative routes. MAYA By going the wrong direction. MATT Yeah! MAYA Yeah. MATT Yeah. MAYA "Direction." MATT What? You have a compass? MAYA Yeah! MAYA North. Okay. MAYA Jim said that the mushrooms were on the "south-facing slope." MATT Okay. MAYA The Regal River runs east to west which means Follow me! MATT Okay. MATT And you're sure it's this way? MAYA Yes. MATT Okay. MAYA Absolutely. I mean, it's gotta be this way MAYA right? MATT How long have you had the compass? MAYA Well, that's besides the point. MATT We're back. You did it! I-- I am impressed. MAYA I am, too. MATT Hey, guys! ALLEGRA Hey! ALLEGRA Glad to see you two back. We thought you'd got lost. MAYA Lost. MAYA in. the. moment. JIM Found some mushrooms! MAYA Oh, yeah. Got a basketful of MAYA tricks. JIM Cedar bark. ALLEGRA Ooh! MAYA I wasn't sure if it was-- JIM Perfect! MATT See? It's perfect. MAYA It's perfect. Okay. ALLEGRA For our next challenge, we're going to be calling on our culinary skills. ALLEGRA Luis and Claire caught not one ALLEGRA but two steelhead salmon, so we each get ALLEGRA to prepare a filet. MAYA Ooh! MATT Mm. JIM Allegra sourced some violets JIM wild greens, and chicken of the woods, and we do actually have some pantry items that our bear left behind. Oh, and Maya and Matt JIM scavenged some really great goodies for us to try, so. ALLEGRA Let's get cooking. JIM Yeah! MAYA Whoo! MATT All right. MAYA All right. MATT Ready? SONG PLAYS The greatest thing I ever saw Walkin' through my open door SONG PLAYS was you SONG PLAYS If what I say is true SONG PLAYS Every time SONG PLAYS you caught my eye SONG PLAYS You'd be there right on my SONG PLAYS mind Just you SONG PLAYS And only you SONG PLAYS In a crowded room SONG PLAYS This world was built for SONG PLAYS two SONG PLAYS Look into SONG PLAYS my eyes SONG PLAYS Early in the morning till the light runs dry I'll SONG PLAYS waste your time For you SONG PLAYS my love, are always on my mind ALLEGRA To the heart of adventure! ALL Cheers. JIM You did great today! MATT Thank you. CLAIRE Mm! MAYA I'd like to MAYA take a moment to acknowledge this land. and this food. and everyone here. MAYA I've been thinking. You know. we're all a little bit like the river. MAYA There's so much more going MAYA on in us than is seen on the surface MAYA and, like the waters, it's okay to MAYA sometimes just go with the flow. And, sometimes, life can get a little bit rough MAYA like headed-straight-toward- a-rock "rough." MAYA But if we can hold on to the people MAYA closest to us, then. calmer waters are MAYA just around the corner. ALLEGRA Beautiful. JIM Very nice. ALLEGRA So, since we know each other a little bit better now, maybe we could have another round of "random words of kindness." MAYA Sure. LUIS Oh, yeah! MATT Ahem. Can I go first? ALLEGRA Yeah. MATT All right! Uh. MATT what can I say about my teammate, Maya from Manhattan? MATT Smart? Yes. MATT Stylish? Of course. MATT Independent? MATT Absolutely. MATT But what I've had MATT the honor of witnessing this weekend is. it's actually so much more. MATT She's courageous. MATT tenacious, challenges you to be your very best MATT and if it wasn't for Maya MATT well, I might be a few spots higher on the leaderboard-- MATT but. MATT I'd also be completely lost without her. ALLEGRA Yes. JIM Delicious. Mm! JIM You must really love our company to volunteer for dish duty. MATT You know what? MATT The company's the best part. LUIS It s on fire! LUIS See right? A little char on the top. JIM Shooting stars. MATT What's that? JIM The biggest meteor shower of the year happens tonight. Kicks off around 11:00 JIM and the best way to watch it is with someone special. in my expert opinion. MATT In your expert opinion, huh? JIM It's what I'll be doing tonight. MATT Does someone need to put out a fire? MATT Watch your step. MAYA Can I take my MAYA blindfold off yet? MATT Nope, nope, not yet. MAYA Okay, if you're having me go on the high-wires again, you are gonna be sorely mistaken. MATT Okay, stop. We're here. MAYA Okay. MATT Right? MAYA Wow. MATT Not bad, right? MATT Apparently, the year's best meteor shower happens tonight, so. with any luck. MATT we'll have front-row seats to Mother Nature's big show. MAYA Thank you. Wow. MAYA The only twinkles I see from my apartment are the lights from the Chrysler MAYA building. I had no idea I was missing out on this. MATT Well, I'm not 100% sure we're going to see any-- MAYA I saw one! MATT Well, go on and make a wish. MAYA I wish that my baby sister gets into the college of her dreams and a full-ride scholarship. MATT I love it, except I don't think you're supposed to say it out loud. MAYA Ah, those are outdated rules. MAYA I want the whole world to hear me! MATT So you said you're one of five siblings? MAYA Including me, but I'm the oldest MAYA so, in my family, I'm the first to do a lot of things. MATT Like what? MAYA Uh. I'm the first to graduate college. MATT Nice. MAYA The first to own my own apartment. MATT Ooh. MAYA And the first to not be married and have kids by 25. MATT Is, uh, is that something you want? You know MATT eventually? MAYA Absolutely. MAYA Yeah, I just know that kids are a lot of work, and MAYA I love my work, so there'll be a few challenges. MATT I think, one day, you're gonna make a great mom. MATT Besides, you're like a professional problem-solver, so. MAYA Who told you that? MATT Um. I might have cyberstalked you-- not in a creepy way MATT just, you know, for research. MAYA You did? MATT Uh-huh. MAYA Why? MATT I don't know. I-- I'd had this silly idea that you were trying to make me look bad, you know, that we were MATT competing for something other than points on a leader board. I know, it's crazy, but. I just know now MATT that you're really driven, and you were competing with yourself. MAYA Matt, I-- MATT Oh! There's one! Did you see it? MAYA Did you make a wish? MATT Yup. MATT Ah! What a way MATT to spend a night. MAYA So what about you? Any siblings? MATT Nope. Just me and my mom. MATT Actually, it's. it's just me now. Yeah, my, uh, my mom died four years ago. MAYA I'm so sorry. MATT Don't be. For 28 years, I was the world's luckiest son. MATT Every season, she'd take me to the Sluggers' home opener. MAYA Huh! Your hat. MATT Yup. my hat. MATT Reminds me of simpler times. MATT Yeah. MATT Oh MATT nice! MAYA Wow! MATT Okay. MAYA Mm. MATT Make a wish. MATT So what is it? MAYA This one, I'm keeping for myself. MATT Ooh. MATT Okay. MATT I wish I could go back in time and relive this whole weekend all over again. MAYA I would pay good money for that, or just the MAYA chance to come back here. MATT Yeah, I did a search for The Whitewater Lodge, and aside MATT from a couple reviews, Jim has almost no web presence. No wonder his bookings are low. MAYA Really? MATT Yeah. MAYA I feel like the whole world should see this spectacular place. MATT Wonder if there's a way we could get the word out. MAYA Well, we only have one day left. Plus, I don't know if I'm gonna participate in something that has the word "breakneck" in it. MATT Yeah, well, things are about to get real. MAYA Wait. MAYA HighlightREAL. Real people. real places. MATT Real life. MAYA What if we add a "real time" element to it? We launch the MAYA app with a livestream of the raft MAYA through Breakneck Bend. MATT Yeah, a group of techies taking on MATT a Class-Four rapids. I mean, could go viral. MAYA Right? MATT Yeah. And if MATT we geotag the lodge with Luis's feature, I mean, the lodge would get massive exposure. MAYA Should we pitch this? MATT We should pitch this. MAYA Okay! MATT Okay. MAYA Well, tomorrow morning, we'll talk to MAYA Allegra, together. MAYA Well, I'll see you first thing in the morning. MAYA & MATT Well-- MAYA & MATT Goodnight. MAYA Goodnight, Marilyn. MARILYN It's actually "good morning" on this coast, Maya. MAYA That's early even for you. MARILYN Well, I wanted to MARILYN come in and make sure that the windows in your corner office are nice and clean. MAYA My corner office? MARILYN You sound surprised. I expected you to tell me that MARILYN you'd secured the project, so I've been prepping for your promotion. MAYA Exciting developments about that. MARILYN Oh? Tell me more. MAYA I'm pitching the launch tomorrow in conjunction with our last day here, adding a real-time element to the app, and livestreaming the raft through Breakneck Bend. I think The Times will pick it up, and it could go viral. MARILYN Maya, that's genius. MAYA Well, it's not just me. MAYA Matt and I came up with the idea, so it's a. MAYA collaboration between Vesta East and West. MARILYN Oh? MAYA Yeah. Turns out we make a really good team, and I think Allegra will agree that the power of partnership is the right move for Vesta. MARILYN So you haven't told Allegra yet? MAYA No, not yet, but we will, first thing in the morning. MAYA Speaking of which, that is gonna come quickly, so, um, I'm gonna go. Goodnight, Marilyn. MAYA Good morning. MATT So this is what you really think of me? MAYA Matt, I-- MATT "Teacher's pet." MATT "Unpleasant." "More confident in his ideas than he should be." MAYA No, I didn't mean-- I thought that, but I-- MATT And all this stuff about Luis and Claire? MATT I knew there had to be something-- this was too good to be true. MATT This whole time MATT we were supporting you, sharing with you, and you were what? Taking notes? MATT To make yourself look better? MATT To use against us? For what? MATT I knew I should never have let myself trust you. MAYA No-- ALLEGRA Good morning. ALLEGRA And an especially good morning to you, Maya Alvaro. Oh, don't be so humble. ALLEGRA I've been on the phone with Marilyn all morning. ALLEGRA Your idea-- ALLEGRA to launch HighlightREAL as a livestream during our Breakneck Bend raft? ALLEGRA And geotag the lodge? I can't wait to tell ALLEGRA Jim! It's a brilliant idea ALLEGRA Maya. I'm impressed. MATT Yeah. Great idea, Maya. MATT Congratulations. MAYA No, Matt, I-- ALLEGRA I've already sent press releases to all the major tech ALLEGRA publications. I'll be sending you an app prototype. ALLEGRA You are going to create HighlightREAL's very first account, and when it launches, everyone will be watching. ALLEGRA Well done, Maya. You've certainly shown us who you are and what you're capable of. MAYA Hey, sis! How's it going? CARMEN Everything's good. CARMEN hopefully great. MAYA What is that? CARMEN I think it's my application decision. MAYA Well? Open it! MAYA Now remember-- MAYA it's all about the student, not the school. Any college would be lucky to-- CARMEN Oh, wow. MAYA What? MAYA What is it? CARMEN It says. based on my current application and GPA-- CARMEN I qualify for early admission with financial assistance! MAYA Yes! Yes! CARMEN I'm going to NYU! CARMEN You're crying. MAYA I'm just so happy for you. CARMEN You were crying before I opened the letter. CARMEN What's going on over there? MAYA I, uh. I just got myself in a mess, and I don't know how to get myself out. It seems like whatever choice I make, I'm gonna lose something really important. CARMEN Well, what would you tell me to do? CARMEN Okay. I'm gonna call Mom and Dad, but thank you for everything, and good luck. MAYA Love you. JIM Oh, there you are. Where's your horse? MAYA My horse? JIM Yeah, you're my knight in shining armor-- saving the day by saving the lodge. JIM You all right? MAYA Yeah. I, uh, just got some really great news. JIM Oh. JIM so that's your happy face, huh? JIM Well JIM uh, you know, maybe we could, uh, turn this into a great day, mm? We could start by celebrating with a bottle of champagne at the fire after our raft, huh? You are coming to the final raft, right? MAYA I am. I'm livestreaming from the very first HighlightREAL account. JIM Yeah. Livestreaming, yeah. Allegra kept using the word "livestreaming," and I have to admit, I kept nodding, like I knew what she was talking about. MAYA It just means MAYA that I'm recording live footage that's being watched in real time from people all over the world. JIM Wait a second. So this whole JIM "global press release" for the Whitewater Lodge is true? MAYA Yeah. MAYA I predict many bookings coming your way. JIM I. I'm. actually speechless, literally. Wow. I can't even thank you enough. JIM That's really amazing. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a whitewater JIM raft to scout. I'll see you later at the raft. Thank you. JIM Okay. ALLEGRA The camera's connected to your HighlightREAL. ALLEGRA When I say so, press "record" on the ALLEGRA account, and the livestream will start. ALLEGRA Oh, and start ALLEGRA the app now so we're ready to go. Okay? AUTOMATED VOICE Welcome to your Highlight account. ALLEGRA All right, let's do this! JIM All right, let's go. JIM Matt, load 'em up! MATT You know what? MATT I think I'm gonna sit this one out. JIM Really? MATT Yeah, I'll walk back MATT with the guide. MAYA No. MAYA Matt, no. MAYA No. MAYA Look, I have to get out. JIM No, no, no! JIM Maya, we've already launched. ALLEGRA No, Maya, we're launching the HighlightREAL! Everyone's watching! JIM No, no, no! Boat's already in motion, Maya. Please! ALLEGRA Maya, don't throw away ALLEGRA your career! MAYA I'm sorry, Allegra! MAYA Whoa. Whoa, that's. MAYA so. MAYA I am so cold! AUTOMATED VOICE Activated. MAYA Matt! MAYA I'm sorry about the notebook! MATT Maya! Just stay right there! I'm coming MATT to get you! AUTOMATED VOICE HighlightREAL is now live. MAYA You've gotta MAYA listen to me! I-I don't think you're the teacher's MAYA pet, and I don't think that you're unpleasant, and actually, I think you're the opposite. MATT Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey! Let's hold that thought, all right? Let's focus on getting you to shore. MATT That's it. Easy. There we go. MAYA Matt, look, I never MAYA wanted to launch our pitch plan without you. MATT Yeah, but you did. MAYA No, my boss, Marilyn, did! MAYA Look, she's the reason I was keeping tabs on the MAYA team. Look, I have to admit, we were trying to get a jumpstart on the contract, but the truth is, I think everyone here is incredible. You're MAYA incredible! And there's so much more to success than a job title on a resume MAYA or a corner office. You helped me realize just how strong MAYA I can be, and most importantly-- how strong we are together. MAYA Matt, will you please forgive me? MATT Yeah. MATT Look, I know we've only known each other for a few days MATT but this. this connection we have MATT it feels real and strong MATT and it was the last thing MATT I was expecting out of this retreat. MAYA It's been a dream come true. MATT Yeah. Yeah, it has. MAYA So. MAYA do you think we lost our jobs? MATT Uh, well, we did just bail on the group. MAYA Well, technically, we didn't "bail." MATT Yeah. Yeah, I mean, technically, we were just. taking a moment to. strengthen our bond as-- as teammates. MAYA Exactly. MATT Yeah. Besides. MATT even if we are now unemployed, I have a feeling, together, you and I can get through anything. MATT You thinking MATT what I'm thinking? MAYA We can still do this. MATT Yeah, we can. MAYA Hey! You got room for two more? GUIDE Sure, hop in! MATT Okay, Breakneck Bend MATT coming up. You ready? MAYA We got this. JIM That was exhilarating! LUIS Kinda dangerous! ALLEGRA They're coming around Breakneck Bend! MAYA Whoa, whoa, whoa! MAYA Oh, my gosh! GUIDE It's okay! Just pull! Pull! GUIDE That's it! GUIDE You got it! That's it! Pull! GUIDE Just pull. Pull! MATT Yeah! Yeah! ALLEGRA They made it! They made it! Whoo! MATT Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! MATT Whoo! MATT You did it. MAYA You did it! MATT & MAYA We did it. MATT What? MATT What is it? MAYA Let's do it. MATT All right. MATT Whoo! MATT You all took your own adventure. MAYA Whoo. MATT Yeah. ALLEGRA It doesn't get much more "real" than that! MAYA I thought you'd be furious with me. ALLEGRA Furious? ALLEGRA You are one smart cookie, Ms. Alvaro. ALLEGRA HighlightREAL is soaring in the app store ALLEGRA and Jim's booking inquiries ALLEGRA are going through the roof. JIM It's true. MAYA But how? ALLEGRA How? That magnificent ALLEGRA riverside confessional, followed by a ALLEGRA death-defying feat of nature-- that's how! MAYA But I didn't even mean to do that. I must have pressed record by accident. ALLEGRA That's ALLEGRA exactly why it went viral. You can't make these Internet moments happen. They have to happen for real. Real ALLEGRA people, real places-- MAYA Real life. ALLEGRA One ALLEGRA question about your ALLEGRA HighlightREAL account. "M&M." What does it stand for? MAYA Uh, well, the launch was Matt and I's idea, so I used our initials for the account. ALLEGRA Well, the fact that you're already working ALLEGRA together is good news to me. ALLEGRA Vesta is opening up two new international offices. ALLEGRA Claire and Luis have already accepted ALLEGRA offers to head up Tokyo. CLAIRE We are so excited! LUIS It's literally LUIS my dream. MATT Congrats, guys. ALLEGRA You two. not only can you survive as a team, you can thrive. ALLEGRA How do you feel about partnering to run Paris? MATT & MAYA What? Ahh! MAYA That'd be great! MAYA Uh. That would be fun, yeah. MATT I mean, it could be fun if-- maybe. MAYA Yeah. Yeah. ALLEGRA We'll deal with the paperwork later. For now, let's ALLEGRA go celebrate at the lodge. MAYA Paris? MATT Oui, oui! MATT Okay, I, uh MATT might need to work on my French. MATT Oh, and, uh, the kissing part MATT that. that I think we should practice. MAYA Oh, okay.
