Falling in Love in Niagara (2024) Movie Script

You changed me
for the better
You changed me
Changed me for the better
Mmm,
changed me for the better
Ooh
Changed me,
changed me, changed me
You changed me
for the better
You changed me,
changed me for the better
Mmm,
changed me for the better
Ooh
Changed me,
changed me, changed me

(alarm blaring)
Oh, no.
(alarm stopping)
(grunting)
Not again.
Ugh. Okay.
You changed me
for the better
You changed me
Changed for the better
Mmm
Changed for the better,
ooh
Changed me,
changed me, changed me
- Babe, hi.
- Hi.
Sorry to come over so early,
but, uh, by any chance,
did you take my laundry again?
Oh, uh...
Please, you've got to stop
taking and doing my laundry.
Well, you sort of have to,
because you mix your
lights with your darks.
Ah, ah. There it is. I just--
I need my lucky socks.
Do you know what today is?
Uh...
Thursday?
No, it is five weeks until
you are officially my husband.
Wow.
Five weeks, that came fast.
Are you kidding?
This has felt like forever.
But the most amazing thing
happened last night,
and I booked our honeymoon.
(squeals) I can't wait for
you to see the falls.
I'm so excited.
And about my socks?
What socks?
My lucky ones. Green stripes.
Oh, I threw them out.
What?
Well, they had
holes all over them.
That's because
I've been wearing them
to every sales pitch
meeting since I was 20.
Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
I'll get you a new, clean pair
that are just as lucky.
I don't want a new, clean pair.
I want my old pair.
- Okay, they're just socks.
- Is this what it's
gonna be like
when we live together?
I'm sorry, all right?
Okay, you gotta relax.
Mmm. It's fine.
I just gotta focus
and I gotta get to work.
Okay. Is there anything
in particular
you want me to book
with the tour guide?
Tour guide?
Our honeymoon?
Yeah.
(chuckling)
Right. Um, maybe just ask him
where the best golf course is.
No, this is our honeymoon,
not a boys weekend.
- Right. Um, book whatever.
- Okay.
- Whatever makes you happy.
- Okay.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Okay. I love you!

- Okay.
- Woman: 9:56!
You know you have a call in,
like, four minutes, right?
Yeah, just enough time to make
myself some instant coffee.
You are ridiculous,
and I already made some.
You are the best boss ever,
you know that?
Yes, I do.
So, uh,
what's my call again?
Is it those Australian
windsurfer guys?
No, it's with
a California couple
who are booking
for their honeymoon.
Ugh.
Can't you do those?
How about you take all
the honeymoon couples, okay?
And I'll focus
on adventure tours.
Oh, you think I want to
watch couples make out
and drink wine all day.
Why can't we switch?
I'm busy with my brother's
best friend and his fiance.
They're getting
married by the falls.
Okay? And we have to make sure
everything goes perfect.
We need all the business
we can get,
if we want
this place to stay alive.
- (phone ringing)
- Phew.
Big smiles.
You can hear
a smile over the phone.
Okay. (sighing)
- (phone ringing)
- Yes.
(exaggeratedly pleasant voice:)
Henley Tours.
Mike Hallas speaking.
If you're falling for Niagara,
we got you.
What can I do you for?
Hello, it's Madeline Zekko.
I'm hoping to book my honeymoon
with you in five weeks,
August 5th to 11th.
Congratulations. What would
you like to book with us?
So, it's kind of a long story,
but my grandparents met
and fell in love
in Niagara Falls in 1954.
It was their favorite place
to visit in the whole world.
So I grew up listening to them
recount their stories there
and it just sounded
so amazing.
I mean... the vineyards
they visited,
the bike rides they took,
and the Ferris wheel overlooking
the falls, it just...
it sounded
so romantic, you know?
Yeah, sure.
Okay, so, I wanted to recreate
as many things
as they did together
for my honeymoon.
It's kind of been a dream
of mine since I was a kid.
Oh, that's interesting.
So what exactly
did you want to book?
Okay, I have a list.
A day trip to Russo's Vineyard,
a picnic in the park,
a bike ride through
Recreation Trail...
Yep.
...a tour through
the botanical garden...
- Mm-hmm.
- ...and most importantly,
a boat ride through the falls.
My grandparents
always talked about
the time they had
the most romantic
and perfect first kiss
right beside the falls.
- Hey, are you still there?
- Hmm? Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh.
I'm just, uh,
writing everything down.
Maddie:
Okay.
(sighing contentedly)
Maddie:
Hey, there you are.
You're supposed
to let me know
if you're gonna be
more than ten minutes late.
Sorry.
I got held up at work.
Okay, how was it?
How was the pitch?
What happened?
Tell me everything.
We didn't get the account.
What?
I-- I thought you said it
was a done deal. What...?
I thought it was.
That was until you
threw out my lucky socks.
Blaming me...
(chuckling nervously)
Blaming me.
Uh...
No. I don't know.
It's fine. It's fine.
Maddie: Well, our food should
be here any moment.
Oh, thank you.
There we go.
You ordered for me?
You were late.
So, I booked
everything for Niagara.
I've made a timetable.
I've color-coded
everything down to the hour.
Wow.
Maddie, down to the hour.
- Mm-hmm.
- What about time for fun?
Oh. Well, as long as we're
together, we'll have fun.
Right?
(sighing)
And what if I don't
want to go...
cheese tasting?
Well, you know how important it
is for me to recreate
everything that my grandparents
did together.
I know, I know.
It's, uh...
It's just starting
to feel a little, uh...
A little what?
(clearing throat)
Never mind. Never mind.
Napkin.
Napkin. Napkin.
(sighing)
You know what, Maddie?
I can't do this.
You can't do what?
I can't do this, us.
- It's not working.
- What are you talking about?
I'm sorry, Maddie, but I can't
do a lifetime of itineraries,
and you nagging me about my
napkin, and you ordering for me,
and have everything planned down
to the hour and color-coded.
I need adventure.
I need spontaneity.
I need someone who wants
to live in the moment.
Let's just-- let's just...
calm down and talk about
this rationally.
Okay? I think you're just
getting cold feet.
This is totally normal.
I'm sorry.
Wedding's off.
The wind in her hair
Bathed in the scent
of magnolias...
Is this how it's
supposed to end?
(squealing unhappily)
Man (on TV:)
No, this is just the beginning.
(doorbell ringing)
Maddie:
I'm not here!
Wow.
Don't judge me.
(exhaling sharply)
I'm sad.
You've got to
snap out of it.
What? Snap out of it?
I was supposed to be
married in three days.
Hey, remember what
you used to tell me?
You'll meet the right guy
when the time is right?
Oh, I only used
to tell you that,
so you'd feel better
about your divorce.
Well, hopefully, it's true,
or else we'll turn into
old spinster sisters
who watch TV every night.
Did you come here to
make me feel more depressed?
No! No!
I actually have good news.
Great news, in fact.
Oh, did Jason decide
that he actually loves me
and wants to spend
the rest of his life with me?
Not exactly.
I've decided that,
since you weren't able
to cancel any of your
honeymoon arrangements,
I'm going to go
with you instead.
What? Huh?
It's not fair you
shouldn't still enjoy
the trip you planned just
'cause Jason is a moron!
Yeah, but-- but
I'm supposed to go on my...
my honeymoon as newlyweds.
Okay, well now, it's going
to be with your big sister!
On a sistermoon!
Yeah, that's--
that's not a thing.
It is now! Come on, you need
to get out of the city.
Okay, no offense, but the idea
of going on my honeymoon
with my sister
is very depressing.
No, it's-- it's not.
It's cool and
it's progressive.
You'll be a trailblazer
and an inspiration
to all the women out there
who've been left at the altar.
It's a no.
Okay, but everything
is already paid for
and I know how much you
hate wasting money.
- What about work?
- I already booked it off.
I told them my sister is
in dire need of my company
and I made you
come across really,
really sad and lonely.
(giggling)
The plan was always to go
as... as newlyweds.
Maddie,
don't let Jason take away
something so important
to you.
Where is your
sense of adventure?
Adventure?
When was the last time
you did something spontaneous,
said yes,
and just lived in the moment?
You know what?
That is exactly what Jason said
that he wanted from me.
- Really?
- Okay.
No, you're right,
you're right.
I spent three weeks
planning this vacation.
I deserve to go and prove to
Jason that I'm not as boring
or predictable
as he thinks I am.
- Yes! That's the spirit!
- We're going to Niagara!
You need to take a shower.
You smell like barbecue chips
and pizza pockets.
Yeah.
She's back.

Concierge:
Enjoy your stay.
Good afternoon, ladies.
Welcome to
the Niagara Haven Hotel.
Are we checking in?
Yes, under Madeline Zekko.
Great. "Z-e-k-k-o."
Hmm. I don't have anything
under that name.
Oh. Could it be under
"Madeline Reed"?
Oh, uh... yeah, that's me.
Super.
Well, uh...
it's supposed to be me.
Do you have a photo ID?
Oh, no. See, um, that was
supposed to be my last name,
but now, it's not.
So...
Oh. Well, unfortunately, without
an ID that matches our records,
I can't check you in.
Look, she was supposed
to be on her honeymoon,
but the wedding
got called off, so...
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
That's terrible.
Please don't make this harder
than it already is.
Okay.
One sec.
Harley:
Thank you.
Let's see here...
(keyboard clacking)
We're on a sistermoon.
Oh.
We don't have a sistermoon
discount currently.
Oh. Oh. You're in.
You're in! Do you still want
the complimentary honeymoon
champagne?
- What do you think?
- Concierge: Cheers to that.
- Enjoy your stay.
- Maddie: Thank you.
Concierge:
Yeah.
Harley:
Ooh...
- This is nice.
- See?
I can see the falls
from here.
Maddie:
Oh. Well...
this is fun.
Oh, boy. Hold on.
I got it.
No-- no problem.
Nothing happened.
Yeah. Well,
I'm gonna go for a walk.
I'm gonna clear my head.
Oh, I can come
with you if you like.
No, it's okay.
I'm just gonna go by myself.
Don't worry.
Phew!

(camera shutter clicking)
(guitar playing softly)
Man singing:
La da da da da
(guitar playing softly)
Da da da da da
(guitar playing softly)
Da da da
Maddie:
Well, guys, I made it.
Not with the love of my life,
like you guys had, but...
(guitar playing softly)
Da da dum
Da da...
- (splashing)
- Dah! What the...?
Oh, I am so sorry.
My shirt! Ow!
Why would you do that?
Now, I'm covered in coffee!
I thought the cup
was for money!
My coffee cup is for coffee!
Do I look like the kind of
person who needs spare change?
I mean, kinda.
(stammering)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Look.
The song was a beautiful song!
Did you-- did you write it?
No offense,
but I was kind of trying
to be playing, like,
privately, by myself.
Oh, okay.
Is that why you chose
to sit and play
in the most popular tourist
destination in the whole world?
Hey, this is my home, okay?
It's not just some place to
check off a bucket list.
No, I don't mean
the bench is my home.
I mean Niagara is my home.
Most people would
just say thank you.
Well, I guess
I'm not most people.
Okay, I will buy you
a new shirt
or I will pay for
your dry cleaning.
Don't throw more
money at me, okay?
You're so emotional.
I'm not emotional.
That's why you're not
sitting on a bench
playing sad breakup songs.
Okay, you don't know--
you know what?
Forget it. Uh...
As pleasant as this
interaction has been,
I have to go find a more
private and drier bench,
where I won't be assaulted
by nosy tourists, okay?
Okay, yeah, fine.
Have fun...
- You big baby.
- I heard that.
I know,
that's why I said it out loud.
Ah!
Hey! How was your walk?
Oh, it was fantastic.
The falls are incredible.
Oh, but I met
the world's grumpiest man.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Like a real-world wonder.
Why don't I get up
and we can do something fun?
No, no, it's okay.
We have to meet
the tour guide early tomorrow,
so just keep resting.
Okay.
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
Harley: Wait, so, he didn't
even say thank you?
No, he was all upset
that I disturbed him and...
you know, kind of
spilled coffee all over him.
- Can you believe that?
- That's so weird.
Yeah. Well, hopefully,
we just never see him again.
Oh, no way.
I feel like Niagara
is a really big place.
Maddie:
Hello.
- Good morning.
- Hi. Are you Emily Henley?
Yes. How can I help you
two this morning?
I'm Madeline Zekko and
this is my sister Harley,
and we've booked a week
full of activities with you.
Oh, yeah, for your honeymoon.
That's so--
I'm... sorry.
Well, welcome.
Your tour guide Mike
should be here any minute now.
Maddie:
Oh, he's not here yet?
It's almost quarter
after nine.
He's just running
a little late.
Oh, actually, I think I hear
him on his skateboard now.
- (chuckling)
- (skateboard whirring)
Maddie:
What? Skateboard?
Would you like some tea
or some water
- or anything while you wait?
- Oh, no, that's okay. Thanks.
Please have a seat.
Oh, thank goodness.
Madeline, this is Mike Hallas.
He will be your
tour guide for the week.
You've gotta be kidding me.
You've gotta be
kidding me.
- You two know each other?
- Yes.
No.
- Okay.
- I met him when he was singing.
Singing? Mike, you haven't
sung ever since...
Is this the jerk
from the bench?
- Maddie: Yep.
- What?
She's the jerk from the bench.
She threw dirty coins
in my coffee.
- I was trying to be nice.
- Well, you ruined my shirt.
Emily: Okay, all right. Okay.
Well, I mean, clearly,
everyone just got started off
on the wrong foot.
But I can assure you that Mike
is a fantastic tour guide.
He just wasn't being
himself yesterday.
But he will be on
his best behavior
for the rest of the week.
Right, Mike?
I thought
I was supposed to be
with the nutty honeymoon lady
with the insane itinerary.
I am the nutty
honeymoon lady.
Uh... I thought you said
something about a groom.
Yes, he dumped me.
So, now, I'm on my
honeymoon with my sister,
like a complete weirdo,
and now,
you know the last detail of
the disaster that is my life.
Fascinating. You know what?
I think it would be best
if Emily
was your tour guide
this week.
Yes, I agree.
I'm so sorry. I'm booked
tomorrow, all week.
Remember, Mike?
Right, your brother's bestie.
(sighing)
You know what?
I think I should just cancel.
This isn't working.
I think I should just--
No, wait. Please, have a seat.
You know what?
Why don't I come with you all
for the day today?
You know, just help
everyone get reacquainted.
What is the first thing
on that itinerary?
Walking tour of
the botanical gardens.
Perfect. Beautiful.
Great. Sounds wonderful.
Right, Mike?
Yes.
It's a lovely spot.
I am very excited.
Emily:
Okay, perfect.
Well, why don't I
get you two some maps?
- That sounds great.
- Emily: We'll get on our way.
Uniform, Mike.
It's at home.
- Tomorrow, Mike.
- Oh, tomorrow for sure.
So, we have 99 acres of garden
with over 80,000
annual plants grown.
Wow. Beautiful.
The colors are incredible.
It's over 125 varieties
of flower here.
Really?
Emily:
Mike really knows his stuff.
Hey, cool camera.
Are you a photographer?
Uh... no.
Oh, yes, she is.
She's had many of her works
published in online
journals and magazines.
- Mike: That's cool.
- Yeah. It's, uh...
It's a bit of
a hobby now, I guess.
Oh. Emily: How come?
- Harley: Kind of a long story.
- Maddie: Not really.
Her ex-husband wanted her
to get a more stable job,
so she kind of gave it up.
- Maddie...
- What? It's true.
And now, you work in
marketing and you hate it.
"Hate" is a strong word,
but also a very accurate one.
Well, that's a shame, and I hope
you find your way back to it.
Thanks.
I'm not sure I'm any good now.
Might have lost my edge.
No way. Once an artist,
always an artist.
Is that what you say when
you pick up your guitar?
Better be careful,
or I might end up writing
a song about you next.
Yeah, I think I'm going to call
it "Intense Itinerary Lady".
Okay, well, maybe then,
I'll write a song about you.
Yeah, and I'm going to call
it...
What?
..."Napping, Hacky Sack Playing
Alarm Clock Ignoring Man Boy".
Mike: Excuse me.
Sleep is very important.
- And that's a terrible title.
- Emily: Hey!
Let's keep it moving, before
I have to split you two up.
- Yeah.
- Sure. After you.
Emily:
Uh, more plants.

Today wasn't that bad.
I actually thought
it was kind of nice.
Yeah. It was okay.
I kind of still wish we had
Emily as our tour guide,
instead of moody Ed Sheeran.
Or should I call
him "Shed Tear-an".
Hilarious.
Why don't we give Mike a chance?
He's the one we're stuck with.
So, who knows? Maybe he isn't
as terrible as you think.
Maybe. I liked seeing you
take pictures today.
That was my
favorite part of the day.
Good evening, ladies.
Can I get the reservation name?
We don't have a reservation.
Uh-oh.
How long's the wait?
We aren't in a rush.
We're fully booked tonight,
but there's room for tomorrow.
I see some
empty tables over there.
Do you think you
could just squeeze us in?
Those are all reserved.
It'll be at least an
hour and a half wait.
I'm sorry.
We're a really popular spot.
Hi. Sorry.
I couldn't help but overhear,
but we would be happy to have
these two join us at our table.
- Oh, you don't have to do that.
- Man: Seriously, join us.
We just arrived today.
We'd love the company.
Are you sure?
- Woman: Why not?
- Man: Absolutely, yeah.
I can't believe
he did that to you
five weeks before
the wedding.
I would have been furious.
Man:
That's terrible.
On behalf of all men,
I sincerely apologize.
Are you married?
I was.
Now, I'm divorced.
Woman: You know,
relationships are tricky.
I nearly married
someone in my late 20s,
but it just didn't
feel right.
So, I waited it out
until I found someone who really
gave me that spark.
Best decision I ever made.
Mmm. That better
be going in the vows.
Are you guys getting
married this month?
This Saturday.
That's why we're in Niagara.
We're doing the ceremony beside
the falls and decided to come
a few days early to
explore for my travel blog.
Maddie:
That's awesome.
Wait, are you guys the couple
that booked with Emily
at Niagara Tours?
Yes. Yeah, I grew up with her.
How did you know?
Her and her tour guide
showed us around today.
She mentioned she had
a couple getting married.
That's us.
I get to officially meet her
tomorrow. I'm very excited.
You guys are so lucky you have
Emily as your tour guide.
Our tour guide is just...
blech.
- Yikes. Really?
- Maddie: Yeah.
I bet you he's just at home,
playing video games right now.
(game beeping, chiming)
(phone chiming)
(video game lasers zapping)
(inhaling sharply, sighing)

Harley:
Okay.
Michelle can't do it?
No, I... I understand.
Okay. Bye.
Maddie:
What?
Nope. Don't tell me.
I have to be in
a Zoom meeting.
What? You cannot
leave me alone with him.
I'm-- I'm gonna...
come find you
as soon as I'm done.
It'll be an hour.
Two tops.
Maddie:
Wow, this is gorgeous.
Are we almost there?
Uh, yep.
Any minute now.
You said that
ten minutes ago.
And I stand by my statement.
Are we lost?
What?
No, we're not lost. Look.
We're taking the scenic route.
Besides, we're in a vineyard.
We're obviously
not far from civilization.
Okay.
Well, can you give me
some interesting facts
until we get there? Because I
love a good history lesson.
Mike: Okay.
This is one of the oldest
vineyards in the Niagara region.
It dates back to 1878,
when the Russo family came
over here by boat from Italy.
No one had ever tasted
wines like theirs before
and people just loved them.
Every bottle
was highly coveted.
That's exactly
what my Nana said.
I can't wait to try it.
Oh, there's someone.
Excuse me, hi.
My grandparents came here and
they bottled their own wine,
and they saved it 'til their
40th anniversary to drink.
Mike:
That's adorable.
Hi, Mike Hallas,
Henley Tours.
We are booked for
a tour with the owners.
I think you
might be mistaken.
We're actually closed today,
and the owners are setting up
for a private event.
Oh, okay.
There must be somebody who can
take us for a quick tour.
Well, it's
a pretty big corporate to-do
and there's nothing
available till Sunday.
Sunday?
No, I leave Sunday.
The thing is I booked.
I booked with Alberto.
- You know Alberto?
- I'm Alberto.
Are you sure
it was for today?
Yes, I'm sure,
and I will bring up
the email just to prove it.
Come on. What kind of tour guide
do you think I am, right?
I'm not completely incomp...
What?
I booked for next Tuesday.
What? What-- what kind of
establishment are you running,
where you can't even
tell basic days apart?
Okay, I made a mistake.
I'm sorry, okay?
Ugh!
This was really important to me.
My whole itinerary
is messed up now.
Okay. I can bring you to
a different vineyard,
a better vineyard.
I don't wanna go
to a different vineyard.
I wanna go to the vineyard that
I've been planning to go
to since I was ten.
Not everything has to be planned
out for a trip to be fun,
you know?
You could probably use
a bit more
spontaneity in your life.
That is exactly what
Jason was saying to me.
There is nothing wrong
with being efficient
and organized
and planning ahead.
Well, in my experience, life
rarely goes according to plan.
Stupid man-child
with a skateboard!
What? What did you say
about my skateboard?
It's actually a longboard.
Can-- can we just--
can we just please
talk about this, please?
All right?
I really can't get fired.
Emily will kill me, and...
we need the business, please.
That is not my problem.
Ever since I met you,
you've just been so blech,
and I don't need another man
telling me that I'm
too boring and uptight,
and I don't know
how to have fun.
Okay?
If you grew up the way I did,
you would understand why I need
everything to be in order.
I'm sorry, okay?
You don't deserve
how I have been acting.
I just haven't
been myself lately.
It's been hard for me
to get back to work
and I have to
put on a happy face.
Why?
You fall on your skateboard?
No.
My girlfriend.
My ex-girlfriend.
We were together for four years.
I thought she was the one.
And then,
she went off to do a semester
to finish her master's
and she never came back.
Is she abroad?
- Ohio.
- Oh.
Why didn't she come back?
She met someone more
cultured and sophisticated.
She threw away everything
we had, like it meant nothing.
Look, you... you don't
want to be doing all this...
romantic stuff
with me, anyway.
You want to be doing it
with your husband
on your actual honeymoon.
Maybe it's none of my business,
but if I were you,
I would take that
itinerary and rip it up.
And I would use this trip
to show that guy...
Jason?
...that you really are
wild and unpredictable.
How?
Let me take you
on an adventure tour.
You'll take photos, you'll post
them on your socials,
he'll see that
and he'll realize
that you are
anything but boring.
I think it's time you stepped
out of your comfort zone.
Okay, but no more being late
and you have to be organized.
Okay?
Or I will fire you.
Hey, absolutely.
Just call me Mr. Punctual.
Okay, call me something
cooler than that.
Okay,
let the adventures begin.
Hi. Can I at least
offer you some cheese?
Total of five varieties.
Five different
varieties of cheese?
Let's see how crazy
you really are.
I'll have a nibble.
Do you have
any non-dairy options.
Harley:
Ha!
An adventure tour?
Are you sure about that?
You don't even like
when hay rides get bumpy.
I know.
That's the problem.
I have spent my whole life
being afraid of anything
that is unpredictable or
unstable,
and I need to change that,
especially if I'm going
to get Jason back.
I didn't realize
that was part of the plan.
I love him, Harley,
and he loves me, too.
So, we just have a little
compatibility issue
that we can sort out.
He just kind of freaks out
every time he has
to make a commitment.
I mean, he couldn't even commit
to an internet provider
when I first met him.
Well, regardless, I'm excited
for what we get up to.
Harley! I have been looking
everywhere for you.
Hey!
So, you know the couple
that I'm with this week,
who are getting
married on Saturday?
- Beth and Phil.
- Yes, them.
They need you.
Actually, I need you.
Need me for what?
So, Beth is
a travel blogger,
and she's going to be doing a
write-up on my tour company,
which would really
bring in new customers.
But she needs
high-quality photographs
to document everything.
So...
So, I told her
that you were a photographer
- and she said she'd hire you.
- No way!
To take photos
throughout the whole week,
including the wedding.
I don't know.
It's been a while
since I've done
any real photography work.
They are willing to offer you
a very generous amount.
For five days of work?
Please say yes.
We need this.
It's really generous.
I... can't leave my sister.
I think you should do it.
- Harley: What?
- Mm-hmm.
Nothing would make me happier
than to see you get back at it.
- Honestly.
- But what about you?
I am going with the flow.
I am letting go of
expectations and plans
and I'm being... spontaneous.
Oh...
What if Mike makes you do
something really crazy
and I'm not there
to bail you out?
It's Niagara, not Vegas.
How crazy can things get?
Nope. Nope. Abso--
absolutely not.
It's perfectly safe.
Oh, yeah,
letting a thin wire
fling me across Niagara Falls
is safe, yeah, okay.
- I don't think so.
- I've done it a million times.
So? I thought when you said
"adventure tour",
we were gonna be, like,
riding Segways or something.
(chuckling)
What?
Look, I'm going to be
with you the whole time.
No offense, but that doesn't
make me feel any better.
Oh, okay.
You have a hard time
trusting people, huh?
And you don't?
- You can do this.
- (sighing)
Okay? Pushing through fear
is the greatest feeling
in the world.
You're gonna be fine. You're
gonna be better than fine.
When you get out on the other
end, you're gonna feel amazing.
And hey, nothing in life
is worth doing
if it doesn't come
with a bit of risk.
Yeah?
Yeah, you're into it.
Come on.
- Race you to the top!
- Maddie: No!
I'm not ready!
Emily:
It's pretty neat, huh?
Wow.
It's incredible.
There has to be at least a
thousand butterflies in here.
Over two thousand, actually.
(chuckling)
It's really magical.
Oh, I have a great
butterfly quote.
"We delight in the beauty
of the butterfly,
"but we rarely admit
"the change it has to go through
to achieve that beauty."
- That is Maya Angelou.
- (camera shutter clicking)
I love that.
You know, butterflies remind us
that it's never too late
to transform into the person
that we're supposed to be.
That we're meant to be.
I wish I was
that simple lately.
I've been feeling
kind of stuck in my life.
I felt the same way
not too long ago.
But my brother Keegan,
he encouraged me
to quit my desk job
to start my own tour business,
and it's less pay,
but I'm way happier.
You just quit your job
to start something new?
Yeah.
Ladies, come over here.
We found the coolest butterfly.
Emily:
Coming.
(camera shutter clicking)
- Mike: All right, thanks.
- Helmets are the dorkiest.
- Ready?
- I can't do this.
No, I'm not good at
anything with height.
No, I really don't.
I'm not good at anything
with speed or anything
involving a harness.
You can do this,
and you will.
No, I kind of feel sick.
I got to go.
Ah, ah, ah. Look at me.
You got this, okay?
Look at me.
You are strong.
You are courageous.
You are Madeline Zekko.
You are full of
whimsy and adventure.
Come on.

Go

- Yeah, that was awesome.
- Mike: You were a natural.
(chattering excitedly)
Whoa
Whoa
Maddie:
That was crazy!
Whoa
- That was amazing, right?
- Maddie: Yeah!
Mike:
You were amazing!
That was awesome! I did it!
I can't believe I did it!
- Not so bad, right?
- Yeah, that was great.
I just--
I wish it lasted longer.
Hey, I told you,
pushing through fear is the
greatest feeling in the world.
Thanks for not
letting me quit.
I wouldn't
have dreamt of it.
Let's go celebrate
with a bite to eat.
Yeah.
Okay, uh... "Flying into
the weekend like..."
No.
"Exploring new heights."
Oh. That...
That's actually pretty good.
See? I'm not just
a pretty face.
Okay. Here goes nothing.
- (phone chiming)
- Phew! Posted.
Wow.
It's pathetic how bad I want him
to see this picture.
Honestly, I would do anything to
get Caitlin to change her mind
and come back.
- Do you think she'd ever...
- No.
Last time I looked her up, they
had just bought a dog together -
Duke the Great Dane.
Oh...
We should probably
get outta here.
Onto the next
adventure, right?
I'll be right back.
Wow.
Wow, these are great, Harley.
Oh, they look
so in love.
I know, right? They're totally
meant for each other.
Just like Nana and Papa.
Oh, they would have loved
that we came here together.
Thanks for making me come here.
I'm really glad I did.
Even though you're
stuck with Mike?
Oh, he's not so bad.
Oh?
Not like that.
I didn't say anything.
Not like that. Uh-uh.
Look at you,
here before me.
Well, I'm Mr. Punctual, remember?
I love it.
What's that?
I think you are going
to be very happy with me.
(gasping)
You made me an itinerary?
Yes. I planned out our
activities for this week,
but I also left
room for spontaneity.
- It's a compromise, right?
- What?
Mini golf tomorrow,
barrel photo
over the falls. Wow.
Oh, yeah, I mean,
that's classic.
You can't go to Niagara Falls
without doing it.
Thank you so much
for making this for me.
I feel so at ease
having this in my hands.
You're insane.
I'm practical.
Well, we don't have
any time to waste.
- Let's get to adventuring.
- Yeah.
Yeah.

The current of Niagara Falls
moves fast enough to power
one-quarter of New York State
and the Ontario region.
Phil:
Look at that.
Beautiful.
Harley: How about a spin?
Just like that.
- (camera shutter clicking)
- Hold it there.
Oh, that's nice.
I love this guy.
(laughing and whooping)
(screaming happily)
(laughing and whooping)
(laughing and whooping)
(screaming happily)
(laughing and whooping)

Maddie:
What?
Is this the Ferris wheel
that Nana and Papa rode
while looking
over the falls?
It has to be, right?
Well, I mean, technically
this one was built in 2004,
but I think the other one
was in the same spot.
Something about mini-golf
makes me feel like a kid again.
Thanks for
setting this up, Emily.
Of course.
Okay, how should we pair up?
Two teams of three?
- Three teams of two?
- Well, actually...
Hey, hey, look who it is!
What the heck are you
doing here already?
Well, I decided to
come in a few days early,
you know,
catch some sights.
And I'm the best man,
after all.
Amazing.
I'm so happy you're here.
This is my brother Keegan.
This is my co-worker Mike that
I've been telling you all about.
Madeline and
her sister Harley.
It's nice to meet you all.
Okay, you're just in time.
We're just deciding
how to split up
into teams for mini-golf.
So, we are actually not
going to be doing mini golf.
Oh, we're not?
I got us last-minute
tickets to the SkyWheel.
We're going to go on the--
on the...?
Yes, we are.
It was the only thing
that was on your bucket list
that I hadn't actually done yet,
and I thought it would be fun.
Maddie:
But it's-- it's...
- But it's so big.
- Don't worry, I got you.
- All right.
- Have fun.
You have fun.
See you in a bit.
We will.
- So, golf, shall we?
- Emily: Right.
Looks like you're gonna
have to team up with me.
You're on.
Worker: All right,
enjoy yourselves.
Mike:
Thank you.
Maddie:
What?!
So...
(stammering)
(chuckling nervously)
This looks like it's going to go
a lot higher than I-- than I
thought it was going to go.
Hey, hey...
think of everything you've
already done this week.
I mean,
a Ferris wheel is nothing.
Yeah, I guess.
Just-- I just can't help but
think that
it's going to break and then
we're going to be, like,
stuck up here for three days.
(chuckling nervously)
You, uh-- you always expect
the worst, don't you?
Yes. My, uh...
My therapist says it's the
result of a chaotic childhood.
How chaotic
are we talking?
Let's just say that
my parents
weren't really
meant to be parents.
Oh. How so?
Well, we were kind
of left alone a lot,
and my parents wouldn't come
home until after midnight,
and Harley and I would have
to take care of ourselves.
Sorry to hear that.
That's like way too much for
a kid to have to deal with.
Yeah, it was.
And then, when things
got really out of hand,
we ended up living
with my Nana and Papa,
which was incredible because
they are so kind, and loving,
and just the best people
in the whole world,
and they were so in love.
And I know it's going
to sound silly.
I truly believe that
they were soulmates.
And then, they would always
tell me about Niagara Falls
and that magical kiss
they shared on the boat,
and I just-- I wanted that kind
of love so bad.
(chuckling)
And I still do.
You'll find it.
I just think
you can't rush love, right?
Love just happens
when it's supposed to.
Do you think that
you'll ever find it again?
I hope so.
Although honestly,
the idea of dating again
scares the heck out of me.
- What?
- I don't know.
A strange man once told me
that the best feeling
in the whole world
is pushing through
to the other side of fear.
Well, he sounds very wise
and extremely good-looking.
(chuckling)
You'll find it again.
- We both will.
- Maybe.
Although sometimes, I do think
maybe it's better
to just keep things causal.
Don't get too serious
with anyone,
because maybe love
just leads to pain.
You know, you sound
exactly like Harley, okay?
The best thing about being alive
is being in love.
Says the girl on the honeymoon
with her sister.
Speaking of finding
true love,
is it just me,
or were your sister
and Emily's brother
having a little--
Oh, yeah. There was totally
something going on there.
Yeah.
(shutter clicking)
Oh.
I can't believe you were
practically face to face
with a grizzly.
Yeah. It was wild.
But that's the risk you take
when you go camping
in the mountains
of British Columbia.
- That's an insane story.
- Yeah.
I miss traveling.
I used to do it along
with my photography,
but my ex hated it.
Why don't you do it again?
I don't know.
I have this job now
that consumes a lot of my time.
- You don't like it?
- Not really.
But it pays well.
I don't know.
I feel like I might be
too old to start over.
You're never too old to start
pursuing your passion, ever.
I think every day
should be making choices
that push you toward
your destiny,
even if
it's absolutely terrifying.
- Every day?
- Yep.
Every day.
(mechanism clanking)
What? Wh-- What's happening?
What's happening?
Did the Ferris wheel
just stop-stop all of a sudden?
- Harley: Oh, no.
- What?
My sister.
She's always been
really scared
of getting stuck
on top of a ride.
She's going to lose it.
Maddie:
What's happening?
Why did we stop? Oh, my.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
I knew this was going
to happen.
I knew
this was going to happen.
- Nothing is wrong.
- How do you know?
Because I asked them to do it.
(gasping) What?
I paid them a little extra
to make it stop.
Why, why? Huh. Okay.
(laughing)
And now, I'm realizing
how afraid of heights I am.
- Okay.
- (laughing)
Why are you laughing? I'm having
my biggest panic attack!
- Mike: Hey.
- Ooh!
I just wanted to make sure
that you had
a chance to appreciate
the view.
The view?
- Maddie: Wow.
- So?
You did this for me?
What can I say?
I'm a good tour guide.
You're better than good.
You're great.
Hey.
Uh, can I ask you something?
Maddie: Yeah.
I was thinking about playing
at an open mic this Friday.
I haven't actually played
in front of everyone
for two years and that.
I will be there.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And there you go.
We're moving again.
Yeah.
Harley:
So, he's playing an open mic?
Yes. This Friday.
We have to go cheer him on.
Definitely.
Especially since Emily told me
he hasn't played
in front of anyone
since his ex-girlfriend
left him.
Looks like he's found
a new muse.
What is that supposed
to mean?
I think you know.
Don't give me
that look, okay?
I just want to support him
as a friend.
Whatever you say, sis.
Good morning, Em.
'Morning.
How you doing?
It is a beautiful day outside.
What's with you?
What?
I'm just in a good mood.
- Is that such a crime?
- Yeah.
You haven't been in a good mood
for, like, two years.
Okay.
I think you're overreacting.
Why are you laughing?
Oh, you are crushing so hard
on Madeline.
Okay. That?
That's ridiculous.
No. Just tell me the truth.
Are you-- You like her?
It would be so unethical
to have a crush on a client.
Oh. You can't even answer
the question.
Uh, no. I really like this.
I like this for you.
It's time you open yourself up
again.
Nobody's opening anything up
to anybody, okay?
- I just enjoy her company.
- Emily: Okay.
- 'Morning.
- Mike: Hi.
- Emily: 'Morning, guys.
- (clearing throat)
Well, we better head out.
We're meeting Beth
at her hotel room.
She got a bunch of
vintage wedding dresses
that she wants to try on
for the reception.
Oh.
That sounds awesome.
Oh, tell her I'll be there
in spirit.
Will do.
(chuckling)
- Bye.
- Bye.
Bye.
So, you ready for
some more adventure?
Well, actually,
I was thinking that today,
maybe we can have
a bit more of a relaxing day.
Go for a little stroll.
May or may not have
a special destination in mind.
I mean, that is
if you're up for it.
Yeah.
It sounds good.
Great.
Let's do it.
(birds chirping)
Okay.
Three, two, one.
(squealing)
It's beautiful.
- You think so?
- Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
- Is it too much?
- Emily: Stunning. No, no, no.
- It's perfect.
- What do you think, Harley?
Is it too much?
I don't know. I might be
the wrong person to ask.
Why do you say that?
Oh, I don't know.
It's just so overwhelming.
The shoes, the dress,
the commitment
to one another.
Harley, are you okay? You look
pale. I can crack open a window.
Harley?
Harley: I'm sorry.
I can't be here.
- Harley?
- Harley, wait.
Maddie:
What is this place?
Mike: This is a decommissioned
old power station.
It was built in 1901.
Back then, it used to power
the entire region.
People have been trying to
harness the power of the falls
for 200 years.
- So, it's like a museum now.
- Ooh.
Mike: So, I'm falling.
The lines are all tangled up.
The chute won't open.
It's pretty clear to me
I'm going to die.
Somehow, I manage to pull
a Swiss army knife
out of a pocket,
cut the chute--
Okay, yeah. You gotta stop,
'cause I'm going to start
hyperventilating.
Honestly, you don't know
how precious life is
until you are hurtling
towards the ground
at 120 miles an hour.
You should try it.
Hard pass. Yeah. No.
Life is terrifying enough
without having to plummet
out of a plane.
I think you're so much braver
than you give yourself
credit for.
Yeah?
Maybe a little fun, too?
Maybe just a little.
Yeah.
I mean, Just because you're
cautious doesn't mean
you're not full of life.
Your ex was a moron
for not realizing that.
Oh.
Well, he's not a moron.
Well, he let you go,
didn't he?
I rest my case.
Is the tour guide business
in trouble?
That's what's on your mind
right now?
No.
The business is fine.
Mike, I'm a chartered
accountant. I can help.
We don't need help. We're just
a little behind. That's all.
Okay. Well,
I'm here for a few more days.
I can look at the financials.
I can give advice,
make a payment plan.
Okay.
Please stop.
Why are you being so weird
about this?
Why are you ruining
what I thought was a nice walk?
Okay. Sorry.
Just forget about it.
Okay. No. Just--
I'm sorry.
I'm worried that I'm the reason
that the business is struggling.
I've let all of
my personal stuff get in the way
of work, and friendship,
and my music.
Emily is my best friend,
I feel like
I've been letting her down,
and that's pretty pathetic.
No, no. It's not.
You just
had your heart broken.
If anyone can understand that...
it's me.
Thanks.
You've really helped me
this week.
I feel closer
to my real self.
Well, I meant what I said when
I said your song is beautiful.
And it deserves to be heard,
and I'm very excited
to hear it again.
I don't know.
I'm pretty nervous
about getting back on stage.
Well, it's a good thing
that I will be there
to support you.
You're pretty great.
You know that?
I'm sorry. What?
(whispering)
You're pretty great.
This is going 180 feet down, underground.
- Maddie: Really?
- Uh-huh.
So, this is a bit of a secret
I'm going to show you.
Maddie:
Oh, my gosh.
- Great, right?
- Wow.
Mike: Right here. You can, like,
reach out and touch it.
Not everybody gets to see
this view of the falls.
- That's awesome!
- Mike: Yeah.
Wow.
Um...
I shouldn't.
(laughing nervously)
- (clearing throat)
- Uh...
(clearing throat)
Keegan:
Hey, you.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I might have been
a little triggered
by all the wedding stuff.
Oh, yeah?
How come?
I once said vows
to someone I loved,
and they ended up
not meaning much to him.
Now, I'm divorced.
Me, too.
Relationships are hard.
And some of them
don't last forever
despite our best efforts,
but that doesn't take away
from the fact
that we committed ourselves
wholly to someone.
You know?
It's a big deal.
Takes a lot of guts.
You ever worry if you weren't
good enough for them,
you might not be
good enough for anyone?
(chuckling)
Look.
I may have just met you,
but I know for sure
you're enough.
Now, perk up.
I booked a private room tonight
at Tonic,
and everyone's invited.
Tonic?
- Karaoke?
- You have to come.
No excuses.
Keegan wants all of us there.
I don't know if
that's really my thing.
I might have to pass.
What?
It is the perfect opportunity
for you to play in front of
a bunch of people
before your performance
on Friday.
Honestly, I should probably be
resting my voice.
I think your voice
is rested enough.
Come on. Where's your sense
of adventure?
Phil:
Ooh.
That's the spirit.
Okay. Okay.
Sure. Sounds fun.
Okay.
Room is booked for 9:00.
Okay? Don't be late.
If I wake up on Monday
with no voice,
I'm blaming you.
Deal. Okay.
Well, I'll see you at 9:00.
And better bring
your A-game.
I always look dapper.
(phone chiming)
(chuckling)
"Dapper enough?"
"No jeans."
(phone chiming)
Hey.
Oh! Harley. Hi.
Did you just throw your phone
on the couch?
I'm spending too much time
on it.
So, yeah.
Trying to...
You look snazzy
for karaoke.
Oh, well.
I decided we're going
full glam for tonight.
By "we," you mean just you, right?
Not exactly.
Emily: Ooh.
They're on their way.
- We can't let Mike into--
- Oh. We gotta do this one.
- Like, like,--
- Remember my eighth birthday?
Yeah!
Where are
those Zekko sisters?
Oh!
Wow.
Look at you two.
Beth: Absolutely.
Okay. Come on. Let's go.
I was forced against my will.
Keegan:
Well, you look beautiful.
Thank you.
Phil: Honey,
let's get this party started.
You clean up nice.
I was gonna say
the same thing.
Now, I have to say
something else.
Um, you're-- Wow.
I hope you don't mind,
but I signed us up
for a classic together.
Oh. What song?
You'll see. But if I go down,
you're going down with me.
Okay.
(laughing)
Okay.
(cheering and applause)
Ain't she sweet
See her
walking down the street
Well, I ask you
very confidentially
Ain't she sweet
She's sweet.
Ain't he nice
Look him over
once or twice
Yes, I ask you
very confidentially
Ain't he nice
Oh, me, oh, my
Ain't that perfection
(cheering and applause)
Emcee:
Harley and Keegan to the stage.
Every morning,
every evening
Ain't we got fun
Woo!
Not much money
oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun
Yeah!
The rent's unpaid, dear
We haven't a car
But anyway, dear
(cheering)
We'll stay as we are
In the meantime
in between time
Don't we have fun
Yeah!
Don't we have fun
There's nothing surer
The rich get rich
and the poor get poorer
Still we have fun
(cheering and applause)
Emcee:
Up next, Mike and Madeline.
I'm always
Chasing rainbows
Watching clouds
Drifting by
You're good.
My schemes
Are just like
all my dreams
Some fellows look
and find the sunshine
I always look
and find the rain
I'm always
Chasing rainbows
Waiting to find
a little bluebird
In vain
(cheering and applause)
(R&B music playing)

Maddie:
So, are you glad you came?
Honestly, that was the most fun
I've had in a long time.
Yeah. Me, too.
This has been
such a good week.
I feel like
you've really showed me
how to prioritize fun
and adventure in my life.
You know, I feel like
a new person.
And you have helped me
get out of my
emotional sad-guitar-playing
rut.
(laughing)
Like, I'm serious, Maddie.
When I'm with you,
it's like life
is full of color.
Um...
Sorry.
Oh?
Did I do something to you?
No, no.
It's not you. I just--
I should go.
- I'll walk you home.
- No. It's okay.
Um, yeah.
Uh, what time
is open mic night?
Uh, it's at 8:00.
You're going to be there, right?
I don't know if I could do it
without you.
- Yeah. No, no. I'll be there.
- Okay.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay. Uh, good night.
Good night.
You guys kissed?
Yes. Yes. I don't know
what's wrong with me.
What are you talking about?
I think it's great.
- You do?
- Yes.
Mike is awesome.
I've never seen you so fearless
and free.
He really brings out
the best in you.
Well, I've only known him
for a week.
So?
So, I live
in San Francisco.
A lot of people do
long distance.
Ugh. I don't know what
I've gotten myself into here.
Did something else happen?
You seem very off
this morning.
You know when you came in
my room and I threw my phone?
That is because
Jason messaged me.
What did he say?
He said that he missed me.
- Are you kidding me?
- Yeah.
What a piece of--
It's not okay for him
to text you out of the blue
like this.
- What did you say?
- Nothing.
- I didn't say anything.
- Good.
He doesn't deserve
one more second of your time.
Oh. I didn't realize
you disliked Jason so much.
I just think
you deserve better.
Look. I took a whole bunch
of photos of Beth and Phil.
I took one of you, too.
I've never seen you so happy,
Mads.
Oh, ladies?
- Hey!
- We come bearing gifts.
- (gasping)
- Hot off the press.
- We're invited?
- Wow.
Of course.
Oh, I love weddings.
I'm there.
Harley: I don't,
but I'm still very excited.
We're going to be delivering
the next one to Mike.
I'm sure he'll
be happy to come,
knowing a certain someone
is invited.
We'll see you both tonight
at the big performance.
- Harley: See you tonight.
- Bye.
Bye.
- Woo.
- Woo!
I ain't moving
Oh, do you have any idea
what time it is?
You are so late.
Ha-ha-ha.
Hilarious.
So?
Feeling ready for tonight?
Uh, actually,
I'm pretty nervous.
Especially because I'm going to
be playing a new song.
A new song? Get out.
You didn't tell me
you were writing again.
It's, uh...
It's kind of about Maddie.
What?
Yeah. It just came out of me
last night.
The thing is, I don't know how
she's going to take it.
- Is that weird?
- No. Are you kidding?
Like, every woman wants
a song written about them.
I just--
I feel like I have to tell her
how I feel,
and this song
is how I'm going to do it.
Emily: Okay.
I see you, Mr. Romantic.
I seriously love this for you.
Oh, Emily
Oh.
I think I'm in love
with a tourist
You're doing this now?
But you will always be
my best friend
'Cause you're the coolest
- Oh. A rhyme scheme.
- Oh, yeah.
Emily and me,
Emily and me
She will always be
my best friend
'Cause you're the coolest
yeah
You're such a dork.
(shutter clicking)
You feeling better
since the last time we talked?
I am, yeah. Thanks.
I think I was just reminded of
a really hard time in my life.
But being here in Niagara
makes me want to live life
to the fullest again.
I'm glad to hear it.
I'm already dreading having to
go back to my soulless job.
So, quit.
You sound like my sister.
- I can't just quit.
- Why not?
I mean, you hate your job, right?
So, you might as well pursue
your real passion.
- My real passion?
- Hello.
Photography.
I don't know.
It's gonna take a long time
to get my name out there again.
It's a really
saturated market.
Harley, do you know what I do
for a living?
I'm the CEO
of one of the most successful
environmental tech companies
in all of North America.
And the moment that I tag you
on some of those
amazing photos
you've been taking all week,
your inbox is going to be full
within 15 minutes.
Just think about it, okay?
Hey. Check this out.
(chuckling)
Right...
- (knocking on door)
- Oh?
Harley, hey.
There you are.
Come on.
We're going to be late.
Jason, what are you doing?
Can I come in?
I'm sorry to barge in
so unexpectedly,
but I had to see you.
Maddie: Okay.
Well, here I am.
What is it?
I miss you.
I really miss you.
(gasping, laughing)
I don't know what I was
thinking, letting you go.
It was one of the dumbest things
I've ever done.
Like, I'm completely lost
without you.
Jason, you called off
our engagement
five weeks before
our wedding.
I know. I know. I'm sorry.
I panicked.
But let me make it
up to you.
I want to try this again.
We can get married in the fall,
and we could make it
like this breakup
never even happened.
Let's get back on track,
and let's stick to
the original plan.
No, I can't. I can't do this
right now, okay?
I'm supposed to be at
my tour guide's open mic night.
I promised I would be there.
We need to talk about this.
This is important.
- (door opening)
- Please.
Harley: Madeline, I'm sorry.
I had to--
Jason, what are you
doing here?
I came to
make things right.
Make things right.
(chuckling)
I'm pretty sure
Maddie made it clear
she wasn't interested
in making things right
when she ignored
your little message.
She didn't ignore anything.
She told me
she missed me, too.
Harley:
Oh, boy. Okay.
Well, maybe the two of you
can continue this conversation
after?
We gotta go
to the open mic.
Look, Maddie.
Open mics happen every day.
I flew here for you.
Let's go for a walk.
Show me the falls, Maddie.
Show me the falls.
Can you tell him
that I'm sorry?
Harley:
Wait.
Whatever.
(door closing)
(strumming acoustic guitar)
Niagara Falls blues
Niagara Falls
blues
Where are they? I'm supposed to
go on in two minutes.
They'll be here.
Don't worry.
I don't know. It doesn't
feel like Maddie to be late.
Do you think
something's wrong?
Beth:
Just take a deep breath.
If they said they'll be here,
they'll be here.
Harley: Hey.
(laughing nervously)
Ah. Sorry I'm late.
- Something came up.
- Is everything okay?
Where's Maddie? Is she okay?
She's not coming.
Her fianc, her ex-fianc,
showed up unexpectedly.
- What?
- What?
Harley:
Yeah.
Mike: Uh...
Niagara Falls blues
Emcee:
Performing up next--
(applauding)
- Break a leg.
- It's okay.
We got you.
One chord at a time.
We got you. Come on, man.
Come on, buddy.
- (applauding)
- Break a leg.
(Mike clearing throat)
Hi, everybody.
Um, this song
I'm going to play for you is
uh...
I just wrote it.
About someone I met
one week ago,
and she already means a lot
to me.
(Mike clearing throat)
(chord twanging)
Oh, jeez.
(playing major 7th chord)
Why do you show up?
- Person in crowd: Come on.
- Uh...
Okay.
Why do you show up
(stops playing abruptly)
You know what? Uh...
I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Audience member:
Aw.
Oh.
So, what do you say?
Should we pack up your stuff
and go home together?
I booked us flights
for tomorrow morning.
- First class.
- Oh, no. Tomorrow I can't.
I have Phil
and Beth's wedding.
(laughing)
And who are Phil and Beth?
They're the best couple.
You're going to love them.
They're so sweet.
I'm sure
they would understand.
It's not every day
a man flies across the country
to sweep away
the love of his life.
I mean, it's a story
we'll tell our kids about.
I know you love
romantic gestures.
Am I really
the love of your life?
Maddie, absolutely.
I'll prove it to you
right here and now.
I love you.
Make me the happiest
man again
and marry me
for real this time.
Jason:
Please.
- Yes. (laughing nervously)
- Yeah?
- Yes?
- Yeah.
- Yes?
- Yep.
(Jason laughing)
- She said yes!
- (onlookers cheering)
She said yes.
Hi.
Hi.
I, um, I wanted to apologize
for last night.
I didn't know
that Jason was coming.
It's fine.
No, it's not fine. I said I was
going to be there and I wasn't.
I thought you guys
were done.
Yeah. Me, too. Um...
He kind of sent me a message
saying that he missed me.
And then...
...I told him
I missed him, too.
So, why did you
let me kiss you?
I don't know.
I think I just got confused.
Well, now I'm
the confused one.
So, what now?
We're going to, um--
We're going to try to
work things out.
Do you even love him?
- Do you?
- Uh--
'Cause I don't think you do.
I-- I can't give up
a three-year relationship
because of a vacation.
Is that all
this was to you?
A vacation?
No, no. I didn't--
No. I didn't mean it.
You know what I think?
I think you're scared, right?
To take a chance
on something real.
I get it.
Jason fits neatly into
the perfect plan
you have
for your life.
That's how you're comfortable.
That's how you feel safe.
You don't even know
what you're talking about.
I know that it takes courage
to love somebody,
and it's cowardly to settle.
I'm not settling.
I'm... I'm being practical.
That should go in your vows.
That's really powerful stuff.
Okay. I really don't need this
right now.
I just came to say that
I'm sorry about last night.
And goodbye,
because I'm leaving tomorrow.
Okay. Fine.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Madeline, wait.
Madeline.
I was going to give you this
last night.
Take care of yourself, okay?
- Phil: Madeline?
- Oh, hi.
You all right?
We all missed you last night.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I actually got uh...
re-engaged.
Wait. What?
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I hope you don't mind
me saying,
but... you don't seem
too overjoyed.
I am. It's just, um,
I'm going to have to miss
the wedding,
because Jason booked
our return tickets
for tomorrow morning, so--
Oh.
Don't worry about that.
We're obviously going to
miss you, but it's okay.
Just as long
as you're happy.
You're happy, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
I think so.
You think?
How did you know that Beth was
the one for you?
Honestly, I don't think anyone
really knows for sure.
She just makes me
feel so alive.
Like I can accomplish anything
with her by my side, you know?
She's fierce and real
and she accepts my flaws.
Plus I still get butterflies
every time she walks into
a room.
There's no one else
I would rather
go on the adventure
of life with.
Beth:
Phil, Phil?
Phil:
Speaking of butterflies,
how did
the final dress-fitting go?
Beth:
Fantastic.
Tomorrow is going to be
the best day ever.
What is it? What's wrong?
I'm going home tomorrow.
You're leaving?
- Yeah. Um--
- But--
I have to fix things
with Jason.
I'm so sorry. I really wish
I could be there, but--
It's okay.
No. No, it's not okay.
She's making
the wrong decision.
I can't just throw
my life away
because of
one really great weekend.
Harley, it's time.
I have to be realistic.
There's a difference
between being realistic
and playing it safe.
I don't want you to make
the same mistake I made,
marrying the person
you know is not right for you.
Jason doesn't even kiss you
in public,
and Mike
was literally going to play
in front of a big crowd for you
last night.
What?
He was going to what?
He wrote a song for you.
He was going to perform it
last night.
Ah, Jason's waiting
for me upstairs, so I should--
Madeline?
Ah, Kev,
as long as you don't play
as lousy as you did last time,
I'm sure we'll be fine.
Kev on phone:
Ah, you know how the boys get.
(laughing)
Did you need help
with that, babe?
No. I'm okay, thanks.
(laughing)
What is this?
Oh. That's a souvenir
from my tour guide.
That is tacky. Ugh.
That could've belonged
to Nana.
Kev on phone:
You still there?
Jason:
Uh, Kev, let's be honest.
You couldn't hit a beach ball
with your driver.
Kev:
Ah, he's got jokes.
Well, I hope you've got six
hours to spare.
Jason: No. I don't want to play
a six-hour round.
We tee off first.
African safari.
And look.
You can sleep in a tree house,
and then at night, you can
listen to the lions roar.
That's pretty cool.
Cool? Sounds like a great way to
turn into a midnight snack.
Not to mention
you're paying top dollar
to sleep on a cot.
- No thank you.
- Okay. Fine.
Okay. Well,
there's hot air balloon rides.
A hot air balloon?
Who are you?
You'd have your eyes closed
the whole time.
Oh, no. Actually,
I've been working on overcoming
a lot of my fears.
I am a lot braver
than you might think I am.
(laughing) Yeah, okay.
I'll believe it
when I see it, babe.
Where is our driver?
I ordered this car
about 20 minutes ago.
We're going to be late
for our flight.
(knocking on door)
Oh, hey.
Come on in.
Ooh. Were you expecting
someone else?
No.
I just thought that maybe--
It doesn't matter.
You look amazing.
Well, thank you.
I mean, so do you.
Thanks.
Who knew that we'd clean up
so nicely?
I just wanted to make sure
that you were okay.
I mean, you haven't been
answering, like,
any of my texts.
Yeah, sorry.
Um, you know how I get.
I just--
I thought she and I
really had something, you know?
Hey. You did.
She was just too afraid
to admit it.
Harley said that
she has never seen Maddie
so full of life
as she did this last week.
Well, doesn't really matter.
She's made her choice.
But...
I wanted to thank you...
Oh.
...for always being there
for me. Seriously.
You've been so good,
and I know I haven't exactly
been easy to work with,
and that hasn't been great
for business.
Best friends stick together
no matter what, right?
Right.
But seriously,
I want to be better for you,
for the business.
So, I'm going to try really
hard, okay?
Okay. Good.
'Cause this whole sad-Mike thing
is getting, like, super old.
(chuckling)
Okay.
- Should we do this?
- Let's go.
Let's go.
Okay. Well,
I'm gonna get a snack.
Do you want anything?
Uh, some almonds and trail mix
if they have any.
Okay.
Oh.
And, uh, maybe tomorrow we can
go hike the bluffs.
That sounds lovely, babe,
but I got... I got a golf
tournament tomorrow.
Golf? Wait. Wait.
(chuckling)
That's not why you wanted to
leave early today, right?
'Cause of golf?
Hon, don't do this.
For our relationship
to work this time,
you got to stop nagging.
(laughing)
I need to leave.
(chuckling)
Uh...
Pardon me?
I don't know
what I was thinking
wanting to marry you.
You make me feel so bad.
Babe, calm down.
We're in public.
Mm-hmm.
Goodbye, Jason.
It's time I finally took
a chance on something.
What are you talking about?
Chance on what?
On love.
Jason:
Maddie?
Madeline, come back!
(sighing)
(giggling)
- Ladies and gentlemen...
- I hope I do it justice.
- You will.
- ...we're about to begin.
as we join this couple
on their voyage of matrimony.
Phil:
Thanks for being here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm so happy for you both.
- It's wonderful.
- Thank you.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
It's strange that my sister's
not here.
I'm sorry.
But if it makes you feel better,
you look incredible.
Thanks.
Hold on. Is that...
Madeline?
I believe it is.
It's Maddie!
She's here.
I knew she'd change
her mind.
Well, don't just stand there.
Go get her.
- Go!
- Oh.
Mike:
Hey. What are you doing?
You once told me
that the best feeling
was pushing through fear.
So, this is me,
pushing through.
Just leaving behind
everything I know
and diving into the unknown.
Um...
...I like you.
I like you a lot.
In fact, I think...
I think I might be falling
for you.
And I don't know
what that means,
but I'm done trying to just fit
everything perfectly together,
because life
is unpredictable,
and maybe, maybe
that's not a bad thing.
And I don't know if you feel
the same way about me,
or maybe you want to be
with someone
who's a little bit more
adventurous.
But I just, uh...
I had to tell you.
'Cause you're worth
the risk.
I don't want be with
anybody else.
Maddie, you're so... smart
and kind and driven.
And beautiful, and braver than
you give yourself credit for.
And you're unpredictable.
And when I look at you,
I see the adventure
of a lifetime.

- Aw.
- (cheering)
(laughing)
What if I took you up
on your offer
to help me promote
my photography?
I'm all in.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's begin again.
Phil, please repeat after me.
This ring is a token of
my love and devotion.
Phil: This ring is a token
of my love and devotion.
This ring is a token of
my love and devotion.
By the power vested in me,
I now pronounce you husband
and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
- (cheering and applause)
- Yeah! Woo-hoo-hoo!
Okay. I'm throwing it.
It's time.
Here's the toss.
- Ooh.
- (shouting)
(cheering and applause)
Bouquet.
Well, that was
a beautiful ceremony.
It was.
I can picture getting married
in Niagara one day.
Oh, you could,
could you?
Come with me.

Hey, everybody.
I'd like to play you all
a song.
I wrote it about someone
that I only met
a couple of weeks ago.
Here we go.
(strumming guitar)
Why do you show up
And tell me to grow up
Made quite a splash
the day you arrived
You were the last thing
That I needed
I fell in your eyes
so alive
You tried
To make things right
You tried
To show me the light
If I stay as I am
I know I'm going to be
All right
All right
Yeah, who would need
Funny, kind, considerate
Unique and beautiful
In their life?
You can see
If I'm staying as I am
I'm not going to be
all right
You're the best thing
I never wanted
And now the only thing
I really need
I think I'm going
to be fine
If I can say
That you are a friend
to me
And if you stay
as you are
I know we're going to find
sunshine
You were the last thing
That I needed
But now
the only one I ever want
- (song ending)
- (cheering and applause)
Person in crowd:
So good!
