[Mara] Oh, my God!
This is amazing!

Look at this stuff.

Ooh! Yes, please.

Morning.

[Ellie] Morning!

Mara, you finding
everything alright?

Oh, hey, Ellie!

Um, do you happen to
have, like, a red belt?

Ooh, I don't know.
Let me check.

By the way, you're late again.

I gotta gear up!

No way!
You know the rules.

Nothing over a $100.

Remember when you got
guacamole all over that

beautiful Saint Laurent?

It washed off!

Kinda.

[gasps] Mara!
What are you doing?

Oh, stop.

You gotta wear the expensive
shit to sell the expensive shit.

Did you do your
make-up high again?

Ellie, I'm not a degenerate.

I did my make-up
and then I got high.

Well, you need to get your shit
together because there's a girl

who wants to try on something
from the bridal section.

Oh, no, don't make
me go over there.

I know. It's torture and
it sucks your soul out.

But that's where the money is.

So, go make some.

And smile.

Smiling!

[Grandma] Absolutely not.
She looks like a hippie.

Like she's getting
married in a barn.

[Sister] Grandma,
that's the point.

She is getting
married in a barn.

Let's go back to Vera Wang.

This thrift shop is
giving me shingles.

[Kelly] It wasn't on your list,
- Thrift shop? Ugh!

- But I came in here last week
and I found this, and I love it.

[Mother] Well, ivory
is just very modern.

And it's a good deal.

It's a disco onesie.
I won't pay for it.

I'm sorry, did I
hear barn wedding?

Even the sales girl
thinks it's gauche.

Actually, I think
it can be beautiful.

Sounds to me like you're
planning the perfect wedding,

- um...
- Kelly.

I love your
necklace, by the way.

Thank you. Actually it
was my grandmother's.

Well, you have lovely taste.

It's timeless.

That's what you should wear for
your wedding, something you'll

still love in 50 years.

But this outfit is not
quite marriage material.

Kelly, you're a kind
of girl who stands out.

This lace-sleeved jumpsuit?

It's so background dancer.

But this vintage ivory gown.

Uh! I mean...

That is stunning.
How much is it?

Most people set up payment
plans for the pieces in

our elite collection.

This one with the
crushed-diamond inlay?

It's my dream gown.

Let's try her on.

My hairdresser's
step-brother dates one of

Meghan Markle's stylists.

This piece is exactly like
the one Meghan wanted to wear

at the royal wedding.

The queen, though?

Total buzzkill about it.

Oh, honey.
You look beautiful!

Lovely.

Love it.

I need to take a
picture of this.

It's too good not to.

Yeah.

Smile!

Are you, um...

You okay?

[Girl] Yeah.

Yeah. Thanks.

You're sure?
'Cause you don't seem like it.

I just saw my boyfriend hooking
up with another girl outside.

I wanna leave, but he's
sitting by the door,

- and my phone is dead.
- Hey, say no more.

I know a way out the back,
and I will call you a Lyft,

we'll get you out of here.

Mm-hmm. I...
I can't ask you for that.

Yeah, you can.

Girls gotta have each
other's backs, alright?

And you deserve so much more!

Hey, look at it this way.

You found a swan,
you've got your out.

Now you can go be you.

Come on, let's get
you out of here.

Get you in that Lyft.

You never know,
maybe he'll be cute.

Hey, girl!

[Alex] Hi.

Alex Feinberg, what is wrong?

This cute guy just
completely blew me off.

It's fine, it's
nothing, it's fine.

It's fine.
I'm gonna die alone.

I think you need this.

- Thank you.
- A lot.

Look, I keep telling you,

you're never going to meet
someone wearing cargo shorts.

And I keep telling you
that they're functional.

You look like a carpenter.

Trust me.
I work in fashion.

[scoffs] Hardly.

Please. Today I sold a sick
vintage gown to a barn bride.

Do you remember when
my sister got married?

You compared her
wedding to genocide.

If words can kill,
then vows can massacre.

Well, she's happier than ever.

Oh, I forgot to tell you,
she doesn't say hi, by the way.

Oh, she'll warm up
to me, give it time.

Now this, this is something
that I can't get over.

Put on some jeans!

Okay, I don't think you
understand how many things

I can fit. I've got my
wallet and keys, okay?

I can't.

And a beer, which you'll
thank me for later.

I have chap stick and
sunglasses in here some, some...

You're not even listening to me.

[gasps] Oh, I know
what you're doing.

Wait for me.
Wait, wait, wait.

Pre-game or booty call?

Neither. Dinner.

God, you're awful.

Thank you.

No one is gonna buy you
dinner on a first date

at 9:00 at night.

Well, stop being
so cynical, Alex.

I believe that there is a
guy out there somewhere,

- dumb enough...
- Horny enough.

- To buy a girl an expensive meal
the first time he meets her.

Now, help me find him.

Okay, I will swipe for you,
so you don't feel shallow,

even though you are.

You're the best.

- Okay, this one is...
- Hot!

But do we think he'll
actually buy me dinner?

Hmph! No.

Okay.
Okay, into it.

He's a chef.
It's meant to be.

There is an alternative to
dating for food, you know?

And that is?

Dating for love.

Ew. Don't be disgusting.

Let's see.

I will have the balsamic
and mustard-glazed chicken,

and I'll start with
the tuna tartare.

[Waiter] Very good.

[Jake] It's tar-tar.

Whatever.

[Waiter] And for you, sir?

Ah!

Whoa!

Jeez.

Uh, I'll have the side
salad and this bread.

Really great. You can,
uh, keep that coming.

Hm. Yeah.

Had a late lunch.

Mm. Excuse me, uh, before
I settle on the chicken,

talk to me about that special.

It is a bone-in, sixteen-ounce
Wagyu beef ribeye.

Mmmm!

And, uh, it is by far the
best thing on the menu.

Ah! Well, then it's settled.

I'll have the steak!

- Excellent choice.
- Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Hungry, aren't you?

Mm! Mm-hmm.

Um.

Okay. Hold on.

I'm not a celebrity chef.

Okay, I make minimum wage at

I make minimum wage, too.

Would you like to
get outta here?

Okay.

Whoo, alright! Great.

I'd like to have my

- What?
- Nothin'.

Alright.

There you go.

Wow!

Those are some fancy pancakes.

Right?

Yes.

Come to mama.

Mm-mm!

Why is this so good?

Well, I've been making
pancakes since I was six.

Mm.

Grandma told me never
to fear the flavor.

Plus, I just graduated
from culinary school, so.

- Oh, well.
- Yeah.

Where you from?

Virginia.

Moved out here for a girl.

Didn't really work out.

Then why'd you stay?

I wanna bring the south to
Southern California and open

up a restaurant.

What would you call it?

Mara's.

- Smooth.
- Right?

You liked it a little bit.

A little bit.

Thought so.

But until then, cooking
here's fun too.

They let me create a salad.

Ugh! I hate salad.

No, no, no.
You wouldn't if I made it.

It's kinda uncool to hustle

Why are you marrying Brian?

Um, because he asked
me and I love him.

Ugh, last Christmas, Brian
clogged mom's toilet so bad,

even the plumber said he's
never seen anything like it.

Mara, all boys are gross, okay?

Yes, but not all
boys are scary dumb.

Brian thought euthanasia
was a country.

And after the train wreck we
call "mom and dad," why are you

even getting married
in the first place?

Damn it, this is exactly
why I never call you.

Just because mom and dad had a
rough time, doesn't mean that

you and I need to
protect ourselves

by being alone forever.

So you're not at all worried
that Brian won't just up and

leave you one day for his

with a baby, a
clogged toilet and...

Mara, can you just say
you're happy for me?

Hey, hey, okay,
look, look, look.

It has been, it's
been a rough few days.

- No.
- Mara, I love you.

It's not enough for you,
that is never going to be

enough for you!

I'm not the marrying type.

I thought I could be.

But you want someone who'd go to
church with your grandma and do

game nights with your parents,
someone who'll be home in time

for dinner and that's just...

That's just not me.

Okay, alright, okay.

Let's just think about this.

I have been thinking about this.

I've been thinking about this
from the moment I said yes.

It takes more than love
to make a marriage work.

Please, just take it.

It comes from his family.

You don't think
