It feels like nobody gets What it's like to be me
Hey, hey What it's like to be me
Hey
- Refresh. Come on, refresh. - Ellie, nothing's changed.
I know, Karl, but when it does, and the Hunt is tonight.
We have to stay up to date if anything changes before it starts.
Ellie, you've had us studying the lists from the last five years.
I know them better than the letters in my own name.
Ellie, I think, we should reconsider doing the Hunt.
I mean, I heard there are, like, super embarrassing things on the list.
Monica, dude, you're gonna be fine.
Well, what if there's something on the list that makes me phobic?
Like dancing?
That's a real thing. It's called chorophobia.
You know, but I'm an awesome dancer.
- You're really not, Karl. - What?
You guys, it's our year.
We're sophomores. Easy to ignore.
Flying under the radar.
Then, boom, we're gonna win the Hunt,
and break free of the draconian caste system
- of high school. - Now, this is just me thinking
out loud, but do you think the fact that Adam is
the Listmaster has anything to do
- with Ellie's sudden enthusiasm. - No.
- At all? - No.
- Maybe just a little bit? - Not true.
Excuse me.
The power of magic!
Ew! Get off the planet, nerd!
What?
- Fletcher, get out! - Okay, I'm leaving.
- Magic freaks me out. - Yeah, spit freaks me out.
Fletcher freaks me out. You guys, come on.
Bracelets up. We can do this.
And, Ellie, have you asked your mom yet?
- I'm going to. - Her wedding is tomorrow.
- I rented a tux. - And you're the maid of honor.
There's no way she's gonna let you go.
Yeah, she is.
- She's in denial. - Hardcore.
You would be in denial, too, if you had to wear a princess dress.
- I'm asking her, today. - Mm-hmm.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, we totally believe in you.
Wow. Oh, my gosh. Your support means the world.
Yeah, I love and support
- all of my friends. - I'm so over it!
I support… Love and support my friends!
Color, texture, scale.
You are ready for your close up.
Coffee for the bride.
- Oh, well, hello. - Why, hello.
- Mike? - Yes?
I would marry you just for this coffee.
- Really? - Yes.
I thought my cabinets would've counted for something.
Mm.
Oh, guess who got the bid
on the Harrison's kitchen remodel?
- Oh, congratulations! - Thank you.
- Lucky them. - Oh, lucky me!
Boris, no bark!
- Good dog. - Well.
- Somebody's been busy. - Well, someone is catering…
- her own wedding. - Hey, Mike.
Hey, Fletcher, my best man. How's that wedding toast going?
- Practicing? - Yeah.
My wedding toast is gonna be magic, literally.
Ladies and gentlemen, behold this hourglass.
One, two… bingo!
Aw! Amazing!
I'm sorry, was that not how it's supposed to go?
No.
- Where's the maid of honor? - Hey, Fletcher,
for your next magic trick, can you get your sister
to appear downstairs for breakfast?
Mom, I'm ten. She's 16.
What are the odds she'd listen to me?
Everyone, focus!
We're gonna go over the tasting menu.
Katherine, beware the florist is low on ranunculus.
- Hold that thought. - Hey Katie, which tie
- do you think for tonight? Okay. - Hold that thought.
Let me show you another trick. I need an egg.
Hold that thought. Ellie!
See? I told you, ludophobia is the fear of scavenger hunts.
Monica, you're gonna have fun
at the Hunt, and you don't have ludophobia.
It's real!
- Hypochondriac. - Good morning.
- Knock much? - These are sandwiches for lunch.
Did you finish your pre-calc homework?
Sure.
- Good morning, Karl. Feet. - Oh, yeah. Good morning.
Also, uh, congrats on your nuptials.
- Ow! - Ah, thank you.
He's being nice. Monica, I love that color on you.
See, she looks nice. You could do that.
Are you two staying for breakfast?
No, thank you.
We better get going before the first bell.
- Yeah. - Monica, come here. Come here.
Let me fix this.
Didn't this jacket just go out of style?
- Let's go. - Remember,
- your jacket is your… - I'm going to.
…outfit's business card.
- Ask her, now. - It should make
- a good impression. - No!
- Bye, guys. Have a good day. - Bye.
Okay, I would never be allowed to interrupt…
…your conversation like that.
- What? - This smells like hot dog water.
That smells like feet and beans. This is toxic.
Ellie, you need to bring your gym clothes today.
You have PE.
- Boris, down! Get down, Boris. - Boris, down.
Good dog.
- He always listens to you. - At least someone does.
- Come here. - Whoa, Mom.
- What are you doing? - I just wanna…
Hmm, I just want to see your pretty face.
You always hide your face. Ellie!
Is it too much to ask that you keep
your room from being a bio-hazardous area?
Is it too much to ask that the little weirdo stay
- out of my room? - Do not call your brother
a little weirdo.
That sweet, sweet, little weirdo adores you.
- Right. - Eleanor.
Are those the same clothes you wore yesterday?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I wish you'd change.
Please change.
Ugh! I wish you'd change!
Ugh!
Just one day That's all I need
Just a day Without her nagging
Just one day I beg I plead But the drag
Just keeps on dragging
While I wish For just one Monday
Or Friday to be free
Free to slouch and sulk And mumble and be messy
And be me All I ask is for twelve hours
To live my life my way
Just one simple, Awesome, crazy, epic day
Just one day is all I want With my family united
Fears at bay no fights No taunts
Just the four Of us delighted
I mean look I love my kids I love my work I love my life
And I love my fiancé And in a day I'll be his wife
And I'll throw The perfect wedding
And I'll throw The bride's bouquet
And we'll have one happy Loving family day
Tomorrow is the wedding And tonight is the rehearsal
And there is no room for error I mean not one flaw
We've got guests In just ten hours
Dress the tables Trim the flowers
I want beauty and perfection I want total awe
And remember that reporter 'Cause it's crucial
That we court her
The business is depending On this one success
Now breathe but thank you, Torrey And in fact, that is the story
So get moving Move this produce
And remove this mess
Ellie Blake! Breakfast, now!
One more day she's on my back She's been riding me forever
All my faults and all I lack And all I, oh, whatever
'Cause I'm lazy And I'm average
And I'm sloppy for a start
And I know she'd like A daughter who was pretty
Neat and smart And I know the woman's perfect
But I'll never be that way
Not for a single solitary day
- Hi Mike. Little dude! - Big man!
Fletcher?
That's mine. Dad gave it to me!
- You give that back right now! - All right, hold on.
- Hold on. Stop… - No, no, don't!
Hey, stop yelling!
This is not a toy. Does this look like a toy?
I'm not acting like this is a toy!
You're playing with it!
One more day she'll fight And fuss when her joy is
All I'm after
It's been a long, tough time For us
Now it's time to hear Some laughter
'Cause I only want her happy And, well, punctual and clean
But she mumbles And she grumbles
And at times She's outright mean
She's bright and so insightful But those traits aren't
On display
Well, not lately, often, ever, Not today
They brought hothouse tomatoes…
You scare… You scare me all the time.
Mom, where's my permission slip?
Mom!
Ellie, dear, it's not the time No, that apron is a crime
And that sea bass isn't fresh It's three days dead
Mom I really need to know If I can wait
Now where'd she go
Oh, I'll never draw her focus From the bread
- It's million little things - Mom, it's just a little thing
Just a silly rite of spring And I wouldn't even ask you
- But, um, well - Really who cares, here
- Now don't yell - What a day
- Simply say - What a day
- It's okay - Yay
- Okay - It's okay
- Yay - Okay
- It's okay - Yay
- Okay - It's okay
- Mom, hey - Okay
- Just one day that's all we get - Just one day
- Till the vows, the Hunt, the story - To show my skills
- Just one-day sunrise, sunset - To get the press that gets
- Then that night in all its glory - The job that pays the bills
- Just say the word and we'll be on our way - To show what I can do
- We're on our way - And say what I can say in just one day
- For one stressful - Perfect
- Busy - Winning
- Anxious - Stellar
- High-stakes - Epic
Do or die
Crazy day
Eleanor, stop it. Thank you.
Mom, I need to ask you something important.
"Mom, I need to ask you something important."
- Shut it. - Hey.
- Shut it. - Do not tell your brother to shut it.
Mom, seriously.
There's this event happening tonight.
Tonight? As in, the rehearsal dinner?
- That tonight? - It's a big deal.
- It's called the Hunt. - No. I know all about the Hunt.
Kids stay up all night taking pictures of themselves,
doing crazy, dangerous things all over the city.
Uh-uh, it's unsafe and it scares me to death.
Well, it doesn't scare me.
Ellie, tonight is the rehearsal dinner
and Down the Aisle magazine is going to be here.
And I need to show them that it actually is possible to design your own wedding.
And I want you, and the rest of this family, rested
- for the big day tomorrow. - Your big day.
Hey! The answer is no.
- That's it? Just no? - No.
- I'm sorry. - Wait, where's Presto?
Has anyone seen Presto?
Fletcher, nobody cares about your rabbit.
Wait, wait. I care about the rabbit.
Mike, can you stop pretending that you're our dad?
- Because you're not! - Ellie! Apologize. Now!
No.
There he is.
- Can you take him to school? - Yeah, yeah.
Come on, Fletch.
I'll see you at eleven-thirty at the venue?
- Yes. - We'll go over the reception.
All right. Hold on to this. Let's go.
I hate you.
What did you just say to me?
I hate you.
- I hate your attitude. - Great comeback, Mom.
I don't need to live all large I'd just like to be in charge
Of the things I do And eat and how I dress
Oh, my dear, I wish you knew All the work I have to do
Just to keep you In your munchies and your mess
- If you knew what I go through - If you knew what I go through
- Walked a day in my own shoes - Worked a day in grownup shoes
- Well, then maybe you'd see - Then you'd see the reasons
- And you would just say yes - Why I just can't say yes
If you knew what I go through How it's brutally unfair
Oh, I'd love to be in school Have a day without a care
- How I wish you'd understand - How I wish you'd understand
- And see the world my way - And see the world my way
- For just one day - For just one day
Just one day
Ellie, you are acting like a child!
Oh, really, Mom? I'm a child?
What the…
This is not funny.
- My hands. - I just burped up a cheese puff.
Mom, my hands. Look at my hands!
I have witch hands! I look like I should be stirring a cauldron!
Ellie.
- It's me. It's Mom. I'm Mom. - No, no. You're not my mom.
- I'm mom. - No, you shut it!
Eleanor, do not tell me to shut it.
Oh, no, you are my Mom.
- Oh, look at my hair. - Oh!
Oh.
Oh, no, look at my hair. I have mom hair.
I look like a realtor.
- And I look like a sad… - Oh!
- …sad little boy. - Mom, your skin is so loose.
You look like a Shar-Pei. Oh, I am talking,
but it is coming out of my mom's mouth.
Ah! Look at your to… Your tongue is really long.
My tongue's not that long. And your teeth.
Your horsey teeth.
Uh, uh.
Look, I pull it and it just stays there.
Please stop.
Oh, hey. I got it. We're hallucinating.
I know. We're hallucinating. We need to go to the hospital.
- Where is the phone? - Wait, honey.
- Oh. - Honey. If we go to the hospital
and tell them we've switched bodies.
- Yeah. - They're gonna lock us
in the psych ward and medicate us
until someone writes a book about us.
No hospitals. No doctors.
- Take a deep breath… - No!
…and we'll figure this out on our own.
We totally broke the magic hour glass.
I highly doubt that it's magic.
Okay, I can admit when I'm wrong.
Mom, there were two.
Dad gave us those hourglasses one for me, one for you.
All we have to do is go get yours and we can switch back.
Honey, that thing's in storage somewhere.
I'll help you look.
It may not have the same magical properties…
- Mom! - I sold it.
You sold it? But those were from Dad.
Daddy gave those to us.
You want to forget everything about him.
No.
- It's like he was never here. - Honey, it is so complicated.
I needed to let go of some things.
Okay, I sold it to an antique store that opens
in a couple hours, Vintage Antiques.
We can get the hourglass and switch back.
Vintage Antiques?
Why didn't they just call it Antique Antiques?
We just have to get through this morning.
- Who is it? - Who is it?
Katherine, I have Danielle Alexander here
from Down the Aisle magazine. And the photographer!
Ellie, we need to answer the door.
No, we don't, actually.
- I think we could live here. - Yes, we do.
- No, Mom. Mom. - You do not understand.
We could paint each other's nails.
- This is very important. - Mom, look at my jewelry. No…
Wait, you really don't understand.
- Delighted! - Katherine Blake.
Finally, I get to meet the bride who's woman enough to cater,
design, and execute her own wedding.
My own wedding.
What I love about this cover story is
that it's relatable. Yes, you can have
an elegant wedding and yes, you can do it yourself.
The proof is in the pudding. Look at you.
Look at me.
- Oh. - What a charming room.
- Have you seen the backyard? - It's in the back.
Torrey, show this fine woman the yard.
It's really nice. Uh, it's…
I will be downstairs in two minutes.
- Thank you so much. - But I just came
- from this hallway. - I will be right there.
Ellie…
I took out a second mortgage on our home
to grow my catering business.
A cover story from a major wedding magazine will make or break me.
If this story happens, it'll mean more publicity,
more business, more money for us, our family.
Got it.
If this story does not happen, we could lose our house.
- What? - I didn't tell you
because I did not want you to worry.
Wow.
You know, so far, being an adult is super un-fun.
I promise you, we will get that hourglass and switch back today.
But until that happens, I need you to be me.
Right. Yes, uh, and I'm totally
on board with that, uh, just a caveat.
- Uh, I can't miss school today. - Why?
Funny, um, if I have one more unexcused absence,
I'll fail tenth grade.
Fail?
Oh, when were you going to tell me this?
At the mandatory parent-teacher conference today.
How can you be so irresponsible?
I don't know. I guess you'll find out at the conference.
Okay.
Breathe it out, Mom.
You need to stay here for the interview.
So, I'll go to your school.
Come on, there is no way you can handle a day
- at my school. - Ellie, please.
Mom, you don't know how to talk.
You do not know how to act.
You're gonna be weird and people will think I'm weird,
and it will last forever.
- You're going downstairs. - No.
- You are doing an interview. - No.
- You're being polite. - No.
- You will be polite. - No.
- You will be charming. - No.
You will talk about the challenges
of balancing work and motherhood.
The challenges? Are you kidding me?
Like your days are so rough!
I got this I got this
I can see what to do for me To be you I got this
I'll bake stuff I can fake Like I make stuff like you
I'll have a laugh have My coffee half-caf
And then yell at the staff On your behalf I got this
Yeah I got this
Stick a smile on my face And strut 'round the place
I got this
I'm perfection I don't need Your direction at all
Call me a slob Or a slackerish blob
I can act like a snob And fool that mob
I got this like it's my job
Good. You can see what it means
- to have a job. - Don't wear that.
There's a reason the tag was still on it.
I hate that. Mom!
- I got this - I got this
- Yeah, I got this - I got this
Do my hair with some care I'll primp and prepare
I got this
I'm delighted
It's not right you're excited For school
Scoff if you may It's a part I can play
And it's only a day And so I say
- I got this - I got this
- Yes I got this - I got this
I'll be bright and demure And right till I'm sure
They've bought this
I'll show you no Nobody will know
It's not you
Leave it to me 'Cause how hard can it be
When I've got my degree And such esprit?
I got this, soon you'll see
Don't embarrass me.
I know it's hard to believe, honey,
but I attended high school and I did just fine.
Oh. ow!
I think I'm looking forward To my day
To tell the truth
A day amid the energy
And innocence of youth
A thousand fellow students All excited just like me
A community of learners
Really, how hard could It be?
How hard could it be?
Hi!
Sorry. Excuse me, excuse me. Oops!
Here.
Hey, what happened to our bracelets?
Your arm looks naked.
I guess, I forgot them.
So, breaking news. You look like a realtor.
But also, Savannah's trying to get people to drop out of the Hunt.
Ellie, during last year's Hunt, Savannah freaked out
a girl so bad that she hyperventilated,
and then Savannah posted it on social media
and it went viral and I heard that
the college the girl was going to rescinded her acceptance.
- I'm sorry, that's absurd. - That was my sister.
- Ellie Blake. - Savannah. Good morning.
Someone said, you thought you could win the Hunt.
- Someone said what? - Someone said you… you…
thought you could win the Hunt.
But you're not, 'cause I'm gonna win.
I got this I got this
I'm the queen of the Hunt You're green, you're a grunt
I got this
You'll lose girl If you choose to refuse
Girl to see
You shouldn't begin With a war you can't win
'Cause I'm smarter than sin And I've got perfect skin
Savannah Look out it's Savannah
Vox humana
She's our vox humana Is the cock of the walk
- I'm talkin' the top banana - The top banana
So trust me watch the Hunt end With just me
- On top - On top
I never fail, no I always prevail
Ask Harvard and Yale So weep and wail
- I got this - I got this
Kiss my tail
Bye-bye.
I got this
I got this.
Ellie Blake!
You know what that sound means.
- That the bell is working. - Now, Blake.
- Stacy, I… - Ms. Meyers to you, Ellie.
You may reclaim this at the end of the day.
Trust me, you will survive. My parents sent me
to high school with nothing but a burlap windbreaker,
and an onion for lunch and yet, today,
I am a thriving professional, who supervises
four team volleyballs. So, you just watch it!
- Yo, El. What's lunch today? - Hey.
I one-hundred-percent know your name.
I hope so, unless you were gonna give your sandwich to another Adam.
- I give you my lunch, Adam? - Yeah.
Your mom's sandwiches are the best.
You gotta tell her she's like the Albert Einstein
- of sandwiches. - I will tell her.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Awesome.
Did she make those mini-quiches today?
I… She made uh, ham and brie with homemade chutney.
Homemade chutney. Thank you so much. May I?
- Gonna go. Huh. - Well, it's not lunch yet.
Oh, my goodness. This is so good.
I like your hair.
- You do? - Yeah.
Uh, I like your face. Wow. I mean, I can see your face.
- Thank you! - Yeah.
- It's the… - The clip.
So, you stoked for the Hunt, or…
Again with the… Does nobody care
about their grades or standardized test scores?
I'm messing with you.
- Oh. - Grades, tests, bogus!
Am I right?
- Yeah. - Uh, seriously, though…
- Totally. - …explain the obsession
with the Hunt to me.
The Hunt's epic, you know that.
I mean, my brother was like the school's legendary Listmaster,
so, I feel like I should live up to his hype.
- You know? - I see.
- I mean, this year I'm Listmaster, - All right.
so I feel like I have a chance to make it about community-building
- and bringing people together. - That is surprisingly mature.
Excuse me, I have to get to class.
- You do that. - Okay.
Uh, Ellie, you do know that it's this way?
- Gotcha! - Whoa.
- Oh. - I just…
- It's a good joke. - Jokes, so many of them.
We have so many inside jokes. Ooh, arugula!
She's gone. Okay.
Where is everybody?
- The journalist… - Oh, God!
and photographer went to scout the reception venue.
- We're meeting them there. - Oh, we have to?
Oh, you're so weird.
- We should go. - Keys. I'm driving.
- Uh, forgetting something? - Of course.
Well, Miss Blake. What a treat.
Such a wondrous occasion to have you in biology today.
You know, they did a study on sarcasm in the classroom
and it's actually the least effective way to communicate.
- Please, sit. - Hey, 'sup?
I'm sorry, did you just say, "Hay-sup"?
- I said, "'Sup?" - Oh!
'Sup?
Hey.
So, um, what did your mom say about the Hunt?
The Hunt, right. She said no.
Yeah, but you said you were gonna give her
some push-back. Right?
Uh, my mother's under real pressure today.
Tonight's her rehearsal dinner.
The whole weekend's being photographed
by Down the Aisle magazine.
- You care about that, why? - Look, we just can't do it.
The Hunt scares me to death.
- Scares you? - Nothing scares you.
Not even coming in second place.
My mother says that second place is just another way to say, loser.
Oh, honey, I went on a meditation retreat
with your mother and she would say no such thing.
- Namaste. - Class!
No pop quiz today. The frogs are here.
We're doing dissection.
Oh, why do we have to dissect today?
Hey, less blab, more stab.
Come on, let's move it before these things gelatinize.
Poor Ellie.
I remember last month, just looking at the starfish
on the screen made you sick.
- Do you need a bucket? - You know,
- Savannah. - Mm-hmm.
Today I'm feeling pretty comfortable with a knife.
Okay.
Very good, Miss Blake.
- Thank you. - Wow.
- Sorry. - That's okay!
Sorry.
I'm ace at all anatomies A master of dissection
An expert chef Who wields an expert knife
But still I sense a gremlin In this system of perfection
There clearly are Still mysteries to life
It's kingdom, phylum, class And then it's order
Family, genus
It all comes back to me Like child's play
Then he leans Over my shoulder
There in all his long And leanness
And cuts my hard earned Knowledge clean away
I try to keep a focused mind And steady hand
But the rhythm of my heart is Like a country western band
Oh, biology What have you done to me?
Why can't my grownup brain Control my teenage parts?
Oh, biology Why won't you let me be?
Why can't you be humane And still our beating hearts
Before the cutting starts?
She's so confident and cocky It's a total transformation
I'm sweating but I'll try To play it cool
But I open up my mouth
Just try to make Some conversation
And somehow end up Sounding like a fool
Yo dude, that's sick I'm way impressed like
Sweet technique
- OMG - Um, like, totally, um, thanks
Come on now can't I even speak
Oh, biology what have you done To me?
My over-forty soul is In a teen cliché
Teen cliché
Oh, biology why won't you Set me free?
'Cause I'm not in control When hunger has its say
And hormones have their way
Focus, Blake. Focus.
Hey, what is up with El today? She seems, well, kind of great
She's always great But yeah, it's nuts
That girl's on my nerves today I better set her straight
You better let her know What's what
I never knew that Ellie Blake Was such a science whiz
She's smart, of course That much I knew
But something's up With her today
I don't know what it is
But then just maybe I feel it too
- I feel it, too - We feel it, too
That girl is through
Oh, biology Look what you've done to me
My heart is in a pan My brain is out to sea
Oh, biology Why won't you let me be?
Please help me if you can Please hear my painful plea
Biology
Oof!
Everyone get out of the way! Savannah is coming through!
Please set me free
Well, there's a car right in front of us.
I see it, Torrey.
Oh, do you want me to hold your donut?
No. I've got it.
Oh, we went on the curb.
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I know.
We went up the curb. That was a curb. Oh!
I know.
- We're going down. - It's fine.
- I did it. - That was fun.
Uh, help? Bummer, they're closed.
Let's go home.
We are so sorry to keep you waiting.
We had to make a quick stop
- You know, it's a long story. Never mind. - Don't lie, Torrey.
Uh, it was totally worth it, 'cause we got this dress!
On sale! Am I right? Up here! There you go.
- Yeah. - This space is so unusual.
Very dramatic, very raw.
Go big or go home. That's what I always say.
So, the rehearsal dinner will be at your house tonight
and then both the wedding ceremony
and the reception will be here.
Nothing gets by you.
And the cake! Katherine designed an extraordinary wedding cake.
I nailed it.
Hi, could you please bring out the wedding cake?
- Get the cake! - Okay. Okay.
- Hey, just chill. - I'm okay, I'm okay.
So, Katherine, what inspired you to do everything
for your own wedding?
I'm a control freak.
- She's so funny. - Oh! Wow!
- Katie! - This must be the groom!
- Hi, how are you? - Hi. Just, no. Stop right there.
- Hey, fella. - Oh. Ow.
Nothing like a bride with a real good right hook.
- Am I right? - You are right.
Should have seen what she did when I proposed.
- It was amazing. - Luis.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, great. So,
do you two have something…
Excuse me.
So, do you two have anything special planned for the reception?
They've been taking dance lessons for weeks.
Yeah, we're pretty good, too. Like, Rogers and Astaire. Am I right?
- I don't know who that is. - Rogers and Astaire.
Dude, I know them. They're famous.
They're great dancers. I went to their concert.
- Well, great. You must show us. - No, we mustn't.
And the reason we mustn't is because…
- Oh, we don't have the music. - What?
And I am super sad about it.
But we can't do it 'cause we don't have the music.
Wow, how wrong you are. Look at this.
- No, no. No, no. - The music.
Don't act like you haven't made me listen
to this every day for the past month.
- Let's give 'em a taste. Yes, they do. - Nobody wants to see us do that.
- Wait a minute. I want that back. - There you go.
- All right. You ready? - Oh.
Oh, you guys are gonna love this. Here you go. Let's step…
into the pool.
What?
Hey, we don't want to give it all away,
'cause that would ruin the whole thing right?
- Beautiful. Oh, oh, oh. - Oh, my back!
- Are you okay? - What? Ah! Wow!
No. Oh!
- Okay. - Hey. This is a…
This is a step?
- It is now I suppose. - This is a step.
- Hi. - Very avant-garde.
Mind your space.
- Mind your space. - Yeah, yeah.
This is my personal dance space.
- There's your body over there. - This is weird.
My body is here.
Stay! Big finish!
Okay.
I'm thinking you might have wax buildup, 'cause that can…
God, my back feels fantastic.
Whoo!
- Still got it! - What is happening?
Social suicide.
I can't look away.
Savannah, it's obvious you're at the top
of the social hierarchy here. Kudos.
But your mean-girl shtick? It's infantile.
- It is? - Yes.
I'm here to tell you that there is life
beyond high school.
Wow. That's really deep.
You know what else is beyond high school?
The dry cleaner.
- That was a disaster. - Category four.
It's probably my fault.
I wasn't gonna say anything but yeah.
That's not hair.
Hey, I can go to the market and get a sheet cake.
They have awesome sheet cakes. The kind with the pictures on them?
- Now you're just being mean. - No, no, no. I'm being helpful.
It's different.
He likes the cake. Boris, stop it.
Get away from her. Boris.
Ow.
It's on… You know, it's in your hair.
He pulled my hair.
- Looks delicious. - Thank you.
Boris, come on. No, get…
You may not want to listen to me but you're going over there.
I'm the boss.
You don't know who I am. You don't know who I am.
Boris! Boris.
What is that?
She pierced my belly button? Without my permission?
She… You… I… We're grounded.
Parent-teacher conference.
She's got to have an outfit for that.
Oh…
Actually, she only has outfits for that. Come on.
I don't hate that. Come with me.
Hey.
- What are you wearing? - What? I'm comfortable.
Hey, I did the best I could.
Breaking news, your vision is terrible.
Look, we have to get that hourglass
as soon as humanly possible.
Do you think I don't understand the gravity of this situation?
- Of course you understand the… - Yo, El.
Hi. I'm Ellie… 's mom.
- Ellie Bla… My name is Katherine Blake. - Yeah, Ellie's mom.
- You make all the great sandwiches. - Oh.
- Yeah, bring it in. - Oh.
Oh, okay.
- I'm gonna let go now. - Okay.
Um, Ellie speaks quite highly of you.
Yeah, and your lunches are… are amazing.
- Aw. Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm gonna catch you guys later.
- Okay. - Okay.
- See ya. - Bye.
- Do you like him? - Would you shut it?
Ellie. Mrs. Blake. Right on time.
Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Luckenbill teaches Ellie, English Literature.
Scarlet Letter. Great read. Page-turner.
And Senor O'Brien, teaches Spanish.
Your daughter is… Where do I start?
- Very good. - Oh.
So, I've been looking over Ellie's test scores.
- Uh, she never tested well. - Because I don't study.
Or the tests are too hard.
- Agree to disagree. - Agree to disagree.
I think she's a pretty great kid.
I could do better.
Let me cut to the chase. When Ellie gets bored,
- she skips class. - Eleven days.
- I am very disappointed. - Are you?
Disappointed in myself. And angry… at myself.
If I may say a word about Ellie's file
- and the tests… - Those tests are dumb.
I agree.
Ellie's bright. She's articulate.
She has a wonderful mind. She's special.
- She is? - I am?
- She is?
- We are? - We are?
But it seems Ellie grew more challenged about five years ago.
The year my… my dad passed away.
Just say "died." He died.
I wanted to give you your space.
I didn't wanna be one of those helicopter…
helicopter children.
- I don't want to talk about it. - I… I just thought that after he died,
letting you process your own way was the right thing.
Maybe I was wrong.
I really don't wanna talk about it.
Hey. You don't have to. Hey.
Guys, I've learned my lesson. Thank you for your time.
Young… Young lady,
you're not in charge of this meeting.
You are absolutely right, sir.
What I meant to say was,
this has been a very instructive meeting,
and I appreciate the feedback.
- But… - I assure you
the faculty will see real
and lasting improvement in my attitude.
Your class sounds really boring.
Thanks for listening to me in there.
- Honey, of course. Always. - Mom.
Oh, how did the interview go?
The interview? Um, fine. It went fine.
- Fine? - Yeah.
I can live with fine.
Hey, that was a… a super dumb meeting, right?
Honey, what were you thinking? Skipping class?
Great, wow, I thought we were just having a moment.
Well, the moment is over.
You cannot just skip school when you feel like it.
We have responsibilities in this world.
- Okay. - Oh, my gosh. I almost forgot.
Do you have an explanation for this?
Ah.
When you're back in this body, you are grounded for a month.
Blake. Gym, now.
- No. I, I can't do gym. - Yes, you can.
These kids today.
They think they can live without any responsibilities.
- I know that's right. - Yeah.
Just go to gym. I'll get the hourglass.
I'll see you at home.
- I love you. - Whatever!
- Mommy! - Hi, nerdface. Get in.
Quick! I'm in a hurry.
Come on… What are you…
- No, no, no. No, no, no. - Yeah!
What's happening?
- Get these boogers out of here! - Mom…
- It's your day to do carpool. - Carpool?
Okay, okay, okay! Listen!
No farts.
You guys, come on!
Are you even wearing your seat belts?
Are you wearing your seatbelts, all of you?
Behave yourselves,
or I will force you to watch a unicorn movie.
- Stop it. - I'm gonna get you.
Stay in the car, Or you will be in huge trouble. Got it?
Oh, no, no, no. Out of business? Out of business? No, no.
No. My life is over.
- What's the matter? - The store is closed.
"If you are interested in purchasing
"any of my merchandise"' that's me,
"I have distributed the remaining inventory
"to 33 other antique stores."
You could go to another store and hunt for it.
That is so stupid. There is no way I could hunt for it by myself.
Fletcher! The Hunt.
If I get the hourglass on the list for the Hunt,
it will be found. Let's go!
Hey! That is not funny!
- El, wait one second. - Oh.
Mrs. Blake?
Hey Monica, can I talk to my… to Ellie?
Hi.
Why have you not returned my texts?
- I lost my phone privileges. - Wow, first time for everything.
Watch the attitude. Did you get the hourglass?
No, I didn't. Because Vintage Antiques is out of business.
- What? - Listen,
the hourglass is at one of thirty-three stores,
it's somewhere in the city and what you need to do
is describe the hourglass to Adam
and get him to put it on the list for the Hunt.
Honey, that sounds very convoluted.
Do you have a better idea? We have to get that hourglass!
God! Can you just do what I'm asking for once?
- Fine. - Fine!
- Presto! - I can still see him.
So, um, did you just call your mom 'honey'?
Good news.
My mother changed her mind about the Hunt.
- Yes! Dream Team! - Or nightmare.
Today you will undertake the greatest challenge
of your pathetic, pampered lives.
The Meyers Assessment of Adequate Fitness.
The math is a test of strength, fortitude.
But pass and you will go through life a math winner.
Fail, and you will help put the cones away.
But if you fail to complete it entirely, you won't graduate.
Line up and stretch!
Savannah?
I was just thinking. You want to win the Hunt,
and I've got some skin in the game.
Why don't we could work together as a team?
Be on a team, with you?
- Um-hm. - Super nutritious food for thought.
Go!
Actually, I don't think
we'll make good teammates, Blake. I like winners.
Adam…
Hey.
Dig this,
I heard about an hourglass, pink sand, yay big,
one of a kind, super cool.
I heard that it is currently in one of 33 antique stores in the area.
Now, I was hoping you could put it on the list.
- So, everyone's looking for it tonight. - That's not how the Hunt works.
I'm in charge of its integrity.
"Integrity." The Hunt is a childish game.
I did not mean childish. Let me explain.
No. Don't bother.
You're not who I thought you were.
El, can you explain what's going on.
You are being super weird today.
Okay, you guys, I don't have time to explain anything right now.
Do you hear the urgency in my voice?
I'm focused on getting this hourglass,
- so everything else has to wait! - Your hourglass?
- I mean… whassup? - No, it's cool. We get it.
When's Ellie coming home?
What do you care?
I like when she's home.
- She's awesome. - Right.
She is.
You think she's awesome?
Yeah, except I guess she hates me now.
Well, you shouldn't bug her with your magic tricks.
But it helps me practice my crowd work.
Your "crowd work"?
I'm perfecting my magic act for Vegas.
Fletcher, no way are you going to Vegas.
- Yes, I am. - No, you're not.
You said being a magician was a great career.
I lied.
- Na-ah, parents don't lie. - Yes, they do.
Would you take him?
Oh.
Parents lie
It's sad but true
Mine lied to me
- Yours lies to you - Whoa!
I lie to you
About what? Come on, Boris.
We say there's no monster
There under your bed But who knows
It's not like we search And no one likes broccoli
We're all bad at flossing
And everyone's sleeping In church
And Buck the dog's not at a farm Buck is dead.
And soda won't kill you Despite what I said
And magic kid Just forget what I said
No magic is real
But magic won't help you Conceal
That parents lie
Because they can So, learn the truth
My bright young man
They lie with words They lie with hugs
Parents lie They lie like rugs
And parents will tell you You're great
And special and stuff When clearly you're not
They say that one day You'll feel normal
But that's not enough It's not by a lot
Hey!
They'll hold you and tell you They love and they care
But they lie When they tell you
They'll always be there
I know it's upsetting But life isn't fair
And parents die
They tell you they won't But they lie
Oh, parents lie It's hard to hear
It's hard to say It's true I fear
It's fine to cry It's sad I know
That parents lie
But parents lie
So, come on, here we are
Let's go.
Fletcher?
I'm just telling you what I wish someone had told me!
Don't look at me like that. Come on.
I am too going to Vegas. You understand, right, Presto?
Hey, Fletch, you wanna talk for a sec.
Hey, you want some ice cream?
Or you could show me another magic trick.
- Leave me alone. - Okay. I respect your wishes.
Stop that. What are you doing?
Avoiding people congratulating me
for getting married so I don't barf.
Katherine! Where have you been?
I decided to do the napkins in a lotus fold.
- I hope that's okay with you. - Torrey, relax!
Who is even looking at the napkins? Who cares?
I care!
We care about napkins! That's who we are!
She is so sorry.
I'm gonna go outside to check the tablescapes.
And then I quit!
Torrey, Torrey. Torrey, don't quit on…
What did you do?
You guys. Good timing.
Ellie is ready to go on the Hunt. I changed my mind.
- She can go. Off you go. - Ellie, we have to talk.
- Today was not okay. - What happened?
You're acting super weird today.
- Kissing up to Savannah? - She what?
You're acting like we don't even matter.
We came here to tell you this in person.
You don't deserve a text.
- We're doing the Hunt without you. - Oh, you guys. Wait. Wait!
And why would you let your mom wear our bracelets?
That's super weird. No offense, Mrs. Blake.
- None taken. - None taken.
Weird.
Katie.
I need to know whether or not we have assigned seats.
Oh. Back off, handsy!
Uh, babe. Are you okay?
You know what, Mike? I'm really not.
I'm rethinking this whole wedding thing.
- You are? - Yes.
All right. I need to be somewhere else.
- Mike, Mike, - Please do not…
You did that on purpose!
You messed up my life on purpose.
Katherine, I just found this note.
"Dear Mom, you may have lied to me
"but that will not stop me from following my dreams.
"I will be a famous magician whether you believe in me or not.
- "Love, Fletcher." - Oh.
- What do we do now? - It's okay. Take a breath.
Take a breath. We'll find him. Hey.
- Does he have a favorite spot? - I don't know.
What about his friends? Would he go to a friend's house?
Everyone keeps asking me questions
- and I don't know the right answers. - Katie, Katie, Katie.
I'm gonna drive around the neighborhood.
We are going to find him, okay?
Okay.
Come on out. Come home.
Fletcher!
Hey, come on, Fletch. Come on!
What's up, little dude?
- Hey, you go to Pinewood Falls? - Yeah.
That's where my sister goes. Do you know Ellie Blake?
Yeah. Ellie Blake.
- That's my sister. She hates me. - No way.
- She called me a nerd. - She called you a nerd?
That's what my brother used to call me
when he was being nice to me.
You uh… you running away from home?
- Because of your sister? - And my mom.
They're both acting pretty weird today.
Mm.
- Where were you gonna head to? - Vegas.
All by yourself?
You don't think your family's gonna miss you or anything?
I think you're wrong, man. I mean…
my brother used to be really mean to me,
but now that he's gone to college I mean
I really miss the guy. You know?
I guarantee you right now,
your family probably really misses you.
So, what do you say? Let me take you home?
Here is his school picture.
His hair's a little shorter in the front.
Here's his soccer picture. He's not very good at soccer.
Um. you should put out an APB.
Honey, I need to talk to your mom.
What was your son wearing the last time you saw him?
A shirt and pants.
Beige pants, a white button-down shirt with fish on it, tan sneakers,
- medium-blue hooded sweatshirt. - Mrs. Blake.
Could you describe your son's personality?
- He can be very annoying. - Your son is annoying?
Don't write that down.
- Fletcher! - Mommy!
Oh.
- How did you get back? - Hey. 'Sup?
- 'Sup? - 'Sup?
- Is anybody else hungry? - Don't touch the paté.
Do you want to come inside real quick for something to eat?
No, I should probably get going, so…
Okay. Um…
Hey, by any chance, did Ellie talk to you today about an hourglass?
- Yeah. She did. - This morning,
I broke an hourglass that Ellie's dad gave to me and she was…
she was just trying to help me feel better.
I jus… I thought she was trying to cheat,
- so I… - She likes you.
I like her, too.
- You do? - Yeah. I do.
Well, you like everyone, though.
Sure, I know. But I mean, like, I…
I like her.
- Like in a particular way? - Yes. Like in a particular way.
But this is really weird that we're talking about it.
- A hundred percent. Um… All right. - Okay.
- I'm gonna get going. - Hey, and Adam,
if you could help us out with that hourglass and…
just maybe put it on the List,
that would be worth a lot of sandwiches.
- Sounds good. - Okay. Cool.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Mom, what's the matter?
I'm a terrible mother.
No, you're not.
Hey. Hey? Is Fletcher okay? We heard he was missing.
- Oh, he's home now. - Good.
You guys, today I put a lot of pressure on Ellie,
so, if she acted like a tool…
Yeah, she kinda did act like a tool.
- Definitely. - Did you guys both just call me a tool?
- What? - Or did you just call her a tool?
Don't call her a tool or me a tool
because name-calling is wrong and you know it,
- and it's beneath you. Okay? - Okay.
The point is,
can't you just let her back on the team
and you all do the Hunt together?
- Yeah. - Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you, young adults.
Or we could just quit. I'm sure you've had
- an emotionally taxing day. - No.
We are doing this. Get upstairs. I'll meet you there.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay, your life and your peer group
are both very confusing and the pressure is killing me. So, you go.
You know what? I would love to go.
I have been dying to do the Hunt.
But it would be totally insane to have a mom do it!
So, maybe you can… dig deep.
I couldn't get the hourglass on the list, okay? Adam said, no. I failed.
I may have talked him into it.
So, the Hunt. What do I do?
Have fun.
Oh, act… like a kid.
Wait.
- Give me these. - Atta girl.
You're gonna need those. Wait. Take this, too.
Hold on.
Ah, nuts. I can't even see it.
Try this. It's better together.
Oh, hey. Danielle and Luis.
Look my son is safe, at home.
It's been a crazy night, right?
Whoo!
I'm sorry, but this wedding is not a cover story for our magazine.
- Yes, it is. It totally is. - No, it's not.
This is an epic fail.
What am I supposed to put on the cover?
You don't even have a cake. Let's get out of here.
- Um, wait, wait. - No…
My family.
I started my business by myself to support the kids.
And I needed to show them that it was possible,
even when something goes really wrong,
that it all was gonna be okay.
And taking care of everyone, every day,
it is super hard. I work.
I do all the home stuff. Nobody…
is making my lunch in the morning.
That's all on me.
Aw, you should put that story on the cover of your magazine.
That is way more true than a fancy wedding.
I know I'm not the master chef here,
but can't we just make seven-layer bars to replace the wedding cakes?
What, you don't consider that real cooking?
No, but it is delicious.
- Yes. - We are gonna make
seven-layer bars as a family!
- Mom, can I make them, too? - Duh.
You guys want to put on an apron?
- I like seven-layer bars. - They are delightful.
Get in here. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Wait, wait, wait. Torrey, Torrey, Torrey, Torrey.
I… I was not at my best today.
And I should not have demeaned your napkins.
Your napkins are great.
And you, you are totally high-strung,
and super-duper weird, but it's only because you do all
the unimportant things that nobody else wants to do.
And you want to know why you do it?
It's because you got heart and you care!
Oh, Torrey, please don't quit.
I wish I could quit you.
- See, you're so weird. - So weird.
Listen, I really gotta pee.
Karl, you should've gone before we left. Excuse me.
Sorry, all right guys stay close to me.
Uh, excuse me. Thank you so much.
Excuse me, everyone. Can we make a path? Thank you so much.
Oh, Karl, I brought trail mix for your hypoglycemia.
- Karl: Really? Thank you. - Yeah.
Uh, young lady with the wings? I'm sorry, can we just squeeze. Thank you.
Can we clear a path?
- Stop. - Cool. All right.
Everybody good?
Oh, look who's out after curfew.
Ellie Blake and her team of losers.
I don't know, Savannah. I think we're in it to win it.
- I'm scared, girl. - Hey, hunters!
How's it going tonight?
That's right. You already know what it is.
Tonight is the night!
Twenty objects to find, 30 places to go
- and fifty things to do. Are you excited? - Yeah!
So, as your Listmaster, I'll be texting you
a total of a hundred things to complete by the end of the night.
And the team that gets them all done first wins!
Come on. It's exciting. Whoo!
Hey hunters, it's Listmaster Now I've got you on the run
Gotta give it all you've got
And don't stop runnin' Till it's done
Found the last one I've got more

- And be where you are - Be where you are
Hey, hunters Yup, Listmaster
Now, if you're falling behind
Take a breath And look inside
You never know What you might find

To get what you deserve And then fight on

Go where you never thought You'd go
Go, go all in
Where the thing We have to find

And be where We've never been
It's not the finding But the searching

Not the ending But beginning
And we've only just begun
Yeah, we've only just begun

- We have to find it. - Okay,
but we have the bowling alley task next.
Come on, let's go.
And we have only just begun
Yo, hunters. Y'all still doin' all right?
Well, we're not here to bowl. No.
We're here to see you bust some moves,
strike a pose. It's a dance off! Let's go.
Whoo-hoo.
- No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - What, wait.
I told you we were gonna have to do something humiliating. I don't dance.
Yeah, I changed my mind. I'm with Monica on this one.
I don't… I don't need these people ridiculing me and my body.
Like, I'm husky. I get it. We all get it.
I'm just a weird blob with arms and legs.
Hold on, you guys. Your body… Our bodies… are beautiful.
Don't squander this time in your lives
being ashamed of your own bodies. Okay?
'Cause this is as good as it gets.
- Oh, come on. - Karl, you're perfect.
Thanks.
It's not the finding It's the searching
It's the hunt For who you'll be
Not the seeing But the looking
For the things You just can't see
Things you just can't see
Go where you never thought You'd go
Go way too far
Where the thing You have to find
Can be found go there
Go there and be Where you are
Be where you are
- We did it! - You guys, you guys.
That was awful!
- That's okay! - Yeah, it was.
Okay.
- You know what? This is really fun. - Yeah.
Go where you never thought You could
Go be brand new
Be the person that You never thought you'd be
And you'll see
I'll be right back.
Get up.
I got to practice my best man toast.
You're excited about the wedding? Huh?
- Yeah, aren't you? - It's complicated.
I like that I won't be the only man in the family anymore.
Mm.
Fletcher, I…
Ellie does not hate you.
- She doesn't? - She doesn't. Also…
I am sorry for what I said
when we were walking Boris today.
- Oh, I'm sorry for this whole day. - Mom we made seven-layer bars.
I hung out with Ellie's friend Adam.
This has been the best day of my life.
- I'm tired. I think I'm gonna go to bed. - Sounds like a good idea.
- Big man! - Little dude.
Well, I was warned.
You said that…
if you catered your own wedding, you'd be a crazy person.
I just didn't know how crazy,
- but… - I want to apologize for Ellie.
- For Ellie? - You know, Ellie's a pain.
- She's not very nice to you. - All right, listen, Katie.
I don't want to talk out of school here,
but you're too hard on her.
She can be mad. It's okay.
- It is? - She lost her father.
I could never replace him and I wouldn't even try.
I need Ellie to accept me on her terms.
'Cause I love her.
So, if she wants to be angry with me, I can take it.
She's not angry at you. She's…
Sometimes she's just angry.
And she misses her dad.
I think Ellie's afraid she'll forget him.
She doesn't need to forget him. No one should.
Her…
or you.
Are we okay?
Yeah.
We're good.
- That's good. - Thank you.
- You did good. - You didn't see that one comin' did you?
I totally did but that's all right.
All right, I'm gonna go check on the wizard.
Okay.
I'm cold.
I'm tired. We've been out all night
- looking for that hourglass… - Karl, I'm all out of trail mix. Okay?
This is what being a trouper looks like.
- What time is it? - Karl, have you checked the leaderboard?
Yeah… Oh! We're in the lead.
Okay, but we still need the hourglass.
You guys, the hourglass isn't in an antique shop.
It's in an antique watch shop. Come on!
Hi, Mrs. Time. I need to borrow that hourglass.
This is a joke, right?
Excuse me. Hello, Mrs. Time. My mother is an attorney,
and if I don't get that hourglass in my hand right now
she will sue you for emotional distress.
I mean lawsuits are so expensive nowadays. Right?
- Oh, thank you. - You cannot just steal that!
I guess I just can't control myself.
Ah, your face would be so funny if it weren't so sad.
- Let's go. - Wait.
I can't control everything.
I thought if I could control everything,
I could keep my family safe.
But I can't control everything.
And we can't control anything about the Hunt. That's the whole point.
It's okay to be out of control!
Are you having, like, a psychotic break or something?
Oh. Oh.
- Run, Ellie, run! - Run, Ellie, run!
Come on. What, what, what?
- Get out of the way! - Don't worry. We'll pay for this.
- Sorry about your clocks. - Sorry about your clocks.
Teenagers!
Okay. Hey! Hey. Hands off. No…
Ellie Blake? You've officially won this year's Hunt!
Yes!
Oh, my God!
Yeah!
We won the Hunt.
- You're a rock star. - I know.
This doesn't look like the maid of honor dress we agreed on.
- I'll totally take it back. - I love it… on you.
- You ready to do this? - Really ready.
- Now we've got the magic glass - And the magic came to pass
And we learned Important things
- Blah blah blah so many things - And I walked inside her shoes
I saw the world her way
- In just one day - In just one day
- Just one day - One day
- Nothing happened. - Are you focused, honey?
- I'm super focused. - All right. One more time.
In just one day
Mom, what is happening? This stupid magic doesn't know when to quit.
Oh, God What if this means
One day's now every day That we're stuck like this forever
If I had known I never Would have wished the way I did
I want to stay a kid And not a grumpy grown-up
With these wrinkles and this stress The pressure and that Fletcher
Oh, my God, it's such a mess I didn't even get to see
Life flash before my eyes
It just went away
Now I'll pay
- Today and every day - If today is every day
I will hold you And protect you
I won't let this thing Affect you
But we both know that we're through
With that kind of point of view
There's this whole long life I'll never live my college years and more
And all that I'll go through again That hurt so much before
I want to make things right again And tell you it's all fine
I just don't see a way To make this all okay
- Today or any day - Or every, every day
Today and every day
I can't get married.
Come on. Hey!
- Hi. - Hiya.
- Dearly beloved. We… - Hi. Hold that thought. One sec.
- We need to talk. - Uh, once we're married
we'll have plenty of time to talk. So, let's just… Let's just do this.
Go ahead.
- Dearly b… - Stop!
I'm not ready to do this.
Oh… this is so much harder than I thought it would be.
Because the truth is…
You're great.
Five years ago, our family lost someone.
Our family felt broken.
I felt broken and you…
After it happened, I kept thinking
that you were trying to control me.
But now I realize that you just wanted to protect me.
Because you love me…
and I love you.
What?
I love you.
Whoo. Honey. Listen to me.
Today and every day I will be here, I will love you
I will put no one above you 'Cause I love your messy hair
And I love your grouchy glare
The way you dress and all your mess I love them, through and through
Whatever makes you happy I want for you, I do
I'm telling you, it's true
'Cause, darling I love you for you
And you know I love you for you
- I love everything you do - Every crazy thing you do
- You know that I love you - I love you
Ellie?
Mom?
Is that really you?
- Mommy, I'm so sorry - You should never, don't be sorry
- If you thought I didn't love you - No, I know it and I love you
- It took this day - It took this day
- Today - Today
- Today and every day - Today and every
Now at last we're unenchanted I will not take you for granted
And I'll cut us both Some slack
'Cause I'm glad to have me back Glad to have me back
I know I won't be perfect But I won't be such a witch
We'll both forgive each other Now won't that be a switch
We'll know each other You and I
And secrets we'll both keep
Things we'll never say
No stupid, sweet cliché
Just one more quick display
We'll live our way
Today and every day
Mom.
- You need to go get married. - Oh, I do, I do. Excuse me.
- Hey. Go ahead. - It's okay.
- Promise I won't stop you. - Okay.
I'll love you just this way
Today and every day
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride, again.
Whoo. Whoo.
Yeah!
I'm gonna make this rabbit disappear.
- Hi. - Hey, um… I have something to tell you.
Okay.
- I invited another guest. - What? Why would you do that?
- Okay. - Go.
You got this.
Hey, I just wanted to say congrats on winning the Hunt.
- Oh, Thanks. Uh, yeah. - Good job on that.
- Um, can I tell you something? - Yeah.
- I like you, a lot. And I was won… - There you are.
Every magician needs an assistant.
- It's really quite… I just… - I… I need to find Presto. Come on.

The answer's yes.
One day is lots like another
When you expect The same old same
So true I'm telling ya brother Just don't play that game
You have tomorrow to run to So, don't be stuck in yesterday
Why not embrace the someone Who loves you come what may
In a minute Life can unwind you
But that's when love will find you And lead the way

Too long We see our reflection
Too long, it's all that We ever know
But be strong reverse your direction And watch your power grow

Today will last me forever 'Cause today I'm the best I've ever been
At last you're looking at me At last I'm finally free
It took a little of you To show me who to be
Gonna live in the now 'Cause now I know just how
