‐ Change happens every day.
Like, summer? Hello, fall.
Thought 14 was fun? Well,
time to blow out 15 candles.
Sometimes change is
beautiful.
And sometimes
it's scary.
But sometimes
it can change your life.

(chuckling)
‐ Wow!
Brava!
(Holly laughing bashfully)
Who's the lucky boy?
I'm assuming the song is about a girl
choosing between two boys.
‐ No, the song actually
is inspired by my friend Piper.
Her and I were gonna spend the entire
summer at summer camp,
but she just took
an internship in Paris.
‐ Fancy. So, how
how firm are
your summer plans?
‐ My duffels are packed.
I leave next week.
‐ So, uh, nothing
could change your mind?
‐ Okay, boys,
share with the class?
‐ I mentioned you to my niece.
‐ And his niece works for an
independent label in Nashville,
and they're looking
for a teen songwriter
to help them write music
for this new artist!
‐ Well, you've already committed
to summer camp.
How would you feel
if Amy deserted you? Right?
‐ I would never accept
without talking to her first.
I don't have the job yet.
I still have to meet
this woman first.
‐ Well, Holly's not the only one
with exciting news.
Nathaniel and I are
getting hitched,
and then we're going
on a year‐long,
cross‐country road trip.
‐ Uh, but you've only been
together a few months.
‐ What about Grandpa?
‐ And the Calico?
‐ The grandkids are growing up,
and it's time for me
to get on with my life too.
Nate and I don't want a fuss,
so we're gonna tie the knot at
Town Hall this weekend.
‐ That's ridiculous.
‐ Yes, it is ridiculous.
Y‐you should have it here.
Right?
‐ Mm, or at the Calico.
I see twinkling lights.
‐ Of course you do. You're gonna
want twinkling lights
at your funeral.
‐ Ah, what a perfect ending
to the year.
You're gonna start
a new adventure with Nate,
and I might be starting one
in Nashville.
‐ Yes.
Yeah, we certainly have our work
cut out for us.
‐ Oh, yes, we do.

‐ Okay, so the caterers are confirmed,
Oscar is doing the DJing,
Holly is on decorations,
and what else?
‐ Actually, I have great news.
Charles's niece wants
to meet with me the morning
of the wedding in Madison.
‐ But I mean, Madison,
that's three hours away.
‐ Don't worry. Grandpa already
said he'd drive.
Plus the meeting's at 10,
so I'll totally be back in time.
Mom, this is a huge
opportunity.
(sighing)
‐ Look, honey, I'm sorry.
It's just, you know,
family comes first.
‐ But I've been working so hard
towards this.
Uh, Dad, a little backup,
please?
‐ Ahem.
‐ Um, if your mother says no,
it's no.
Sorry, Holly.
Meet me in the shed in five
minutes?
‐ Sweetie, you're 15.
You have your whole life
ahead of you.
‐ Why are you being so
unreasonable?
‐ Holly.
‐ Ooh, come in! Lock the door.
‐ Whatever it is,
I did not do it.
‐ Tell me everything you know
about Nathaniel Green.
‐ Oh.
Are you planning
a bachelor party?
Because I've got some ideas.
‐ No, I'm not throwing a ba
(sighing)
Listen. I've been searching
for him online
and I can't find anything.
No embarrassing photos,
no incriminating posts,
only his bio from
the newspaper webpage.
‐ Okay. "Nathaniel Green was
born in Polk County."
‐ Huh?
Don't you find that suspicious?
‐ Nate is a great guy.
He gave me a well‐paying job
at the newspaper.
‐ Maybe. But just in case,
I
asked a friend of mine
in the police department
to do a background check.
‐ Dad, no!
‐ He couldn't find a Nathaniel Green
from Polk County!
‐ Yeah, okay, I'm sure there's
an explanation for that.
‐ My mother is not walking down
that aisle until I find out.
(sighing)
‐ I know my dad was on my side.
He just couldn't say it
in front of my mom.
It's totally unfair, right?
(Piper speaking French)
‐ Hmm?
‐ Okay, I'm just
practicing some French
before I leave for France.
Catch me up?
‐ Oh, Holly's mom, music thing.
‐ Right.
Totally unfair.
Your mom's a monster.
‐ I wouldn't say monster,
okay?
She just wants my grandma's day
to be perfect.
Still, she's being very
difficult.
I mean, if anyone has a reason
to be upset, it's Amy.
‐ Hey, I would never get between
my best friend and her dream.
‐ That's why you're my best friend.
(chuckling)
‐ Okay, how badly do you
want this?
(sighing)
‐ Songwriting in Nashville
has been my dream ever since
I knew it was a thing.
‐ Then you have
to go to this meeting.
‐ There's no way
my mom won't find out.
I'll be grounded forever.
‐ Or until you go to Nashville.
(chuckling)
‐ I'm so bored.
Let's TNT a village.
‐ I'm kind of in the middle
of something right now.
We're doing a dance challenge.
‐ Please accept our apologies
for not inviting you, Heather.
We assumed you'd be occupied
with wedding planning.
‐ Holly and Mom are taking care
of all that stuff.
‐ I bet it's ageism.
They think you're too young to
handle the responsibility.
‐ I'm the most responsible
Hobbie kid.
‐ Must feel terrible to be left
out. I'd be devastated.
‐ Holly, are you upstairs?
Hey, honey, have you seen Holly?
‐ Whatever you need,
I can help with.
‐ Oh, that's really sweet,
but we're good.
‐ My friends were right.
You don't trust me.
‐ What? No.
(stammering)
That's not true.
‐ Okay, then give me a job.
Give me something important
and big.
‐ It's just, every time
I give you a task,
you start off really strong,
then you get bored, cut corners,
and then I'm left to deal
with the mess.
‐ Name one time that happened.
‐ Um
I seem to recall
‐ Sure. Yeah. Okay.
But this time, this time,
it will be different.
I swear.
‐ Hmm. Okay, well, why don't you
jump on your bike
and you can drop off
the deposit for the cake?
‐ Three hundred dollars?!
‐ Yes.
‐ Is this cake made of gold?
‐ No, the gold is just around
the outside. So
Last night
I was lost in time ♪
Headphone blasting ♪
Drama scrollin' ♪♪
No, that's too pop. That's way
too Okay, okay.
I only have 15 minutes
to impress
and I want to show
how versatile I can be.
What do you think I should‐‐
‐ Hey, kids!
‐ Hi!
‐ I'm just on my way to pick up
the bridesmaid dresses,
and I wanted to check in on
the playlist for the reception.
‐ On it, Mrs. Hobbie. So we're
gonna start with the classics,
then when the oldies go to bed,
crank it up.
‐ Just to be clear,
the oldies are
‐ Anyone over the age of 40?
‐ Ah.
‐ five?
‐ Good save, good save.
And honey, when you're done
with the place cards,
can you please look at
the seating chart?
‐ Sure thing.
‐ Okay, great.
Thanks, thanks! See you soon!
(sighing)
‐ Oh, I hate lying to her.
‐ Then don't.
The woman you're meeting up
with is a huge deal.
She can be working with any songwriter
she wants to right now.
‐ You don't think
I have a chance.
‐ You have to admit
it's kind of a long shot.
‐ Well, then why would
she meet with me?
‐ Because one of your grandpa's friends
asked his niece for a favour.
‐ Why are you being so mean?
‐ I don't want you to be
disappointed.
And if it won't work out anyway,
then
why risk getting your mom angry?
I think you should play
I Woke Up Like This.
Everyone loves that song.
‐ Okay.
(sighing)
(phone buzzing)
‐ Ah.
Can't talk now. On a mission.
‐ Then you won't be interested
in the epic ice‐cream sundae
we just made.
Twenty‐four scoops of ice cream on top
of a decadent chocolate brownie.
(sighing)
‐ With hot fudge on top?
‐ And basically every single
topping at the candy store.
‐ Put it in the freezer.
I'll be there in an hour.
‐ It's too big. It won't fit.
‐ I think I'm gonna explode.
Totally worth it, though.
‐ Didn't you have somewhere
important to be?
‐ Right.
I know you thought
my mom doesn't trust me,
but check this out.
No, no! No, no, no, no!
Please tell me it's in here.
(grunting)
I just lost a cheque
for $300!
My mom is gonna kill me!
‐ RIP, Heather.
She died as she lived,
with a belly full of ice cream.
‐ The responsible thing would
be to tell her
so she can cancel the cheque.
‐ But that would prove
I'm not responsible.
Which leaves only one option.
We have to make this cake
ourselves.
‐ Hey, there's my salty
songstress!
I got something for you.
My "throat coat" to help wow
that Music City mogul.
‐ I can't go to the meeting.
Grandma's getting married.
‐ Guess my invite got lost
in the mail.
‐ It's the same day as
the meeting.
In the afternoon.
‐ Well, we'll be back in time.
(chuckling)
‐ My mom says I can't go.
‐ So I'll talk to her.
‐ She's not gonna change
her mind.
‐ Then I'll try your dad.
Holly.
I know it's scary,
but sometimes you just gotta
close your eyes and take a leap.
(laughing)
‐ Yeah?
And how'd that work out
for you?
Grandpa I‐I'm sorry.
I didn't mean‐‐
‐ I understand.
Better than you think.
(sighing)
‐ Thank Charlie
for the opportunity.
And tell him that I'm
I'm really sorry
that things won't work out.
‐ I really appreciate you guys
organizing this outing.
‐ Well, you're gonna be part
of the family soon,
so I figured it'd be a great way
to get to know each other.
Where'd you grow up?
‐ Here and there.
‐ Never settled down,
had a family?
‐ Well, I never saw myself as the marrying
type until I met your mom.
‐ You stole her heart, did ya?
‐ That's kind of you to say.
‐ You ever steal anything else?
‐ Like first base?
We're big baseball fans.
‐ I'm not much of a sports guy.
I always preferred books.
‐ Cooking them? Ahem.
‐ I think what Dad was trying to
say was, uh, "cookbooks".
He was not implying that you have engaged
in money fraud. Right, Dad?
‐ Relax, Robbie. I'm just trying
to get to know my
soon‐to‐be stepdad.
‐ That's alright. I understand.
You're looking after your mom.
Alright, here's the truth.
I'm marrying Helen for
her money.
‐ So it's all a scam?
‐ Why else would I be
interested?
‐ Because she is a, strong,
smart and caring woman!
‐ Don't forget gorgeous.
‐ I see what you did there.
Good one. Right, Dad?
(groaning)
Da? Is it your back?
(whimpering)
‐ Robbie, get help.
‐ Yeah.
(grunting)
‐ We're closed.
There's a sign on the door.
‐ I like what you've done
with the place.
(sighing)
‐ You here to tell me
I'm making a mistake?
‐ If I thought I had a chance,
I'd be here with a bouquet
of red ones.
I know that ship has sailed.
I'm here to talk about
our granddaughter.
‐ Holly?
What has she done now?
‐ It's what she's not doing.
And I think she'll regret it.
Pour me a drink
and I'll fill you in.
‐ Yes!
‐ Nailed it!
That's how you make
a wedding cake, baby.
‐ I knew my Great British
Bake Off obsession
would serve me one day.
‐ Can't forget the gold.
‐ Seems like a waste.
Okay, that's my mom!
We have to clean up
and get this upstairs
right now!
‐ Where do we put it?!
‐ Sink, garbage, uh, fridge.
Let's go!
(stammering)
‐ Where do I put the flour?!
‐ Wowzer. Whew.
‐ Hey, Mom!
‐ I really hope
it's not this hot tomorrow.
I'm parched.
‐ Yeah, okay, let's just
Yeah.
Just sit down.
Relax. I will get you water.
‐ Okay.
‐ Yeah, sit.
‐ Thank you.
Very thoughtful of you.
You know what, honey?
I just
I really
I cannot wait to pick up that
cake tomorrow morning.
‐ Uh, there is no need.
They are gonna deliver it.
‐ Really?
‐ Yeah
Um, for $300,
I told them we deserved
the highest level of
customer service.
‐ Great. Well, this wedding, it
is not gonna plan itself‐‐
‐ No, no! But first,
just sit. Um
Well, you know,
Grandma's getting married.
I've just been wondering
how do you know when
you've finally found "the one"?
‐ Ah! Oh, Heather,
honey, is
is there someone special
you're thinking of?
‐ Maybe
‐ Oh, wow. Okay, well,
where to‐‐
‐ Great! Um, let's just save this
conversation for another time?
‐ Just just try to breathe.
Help will be here any second.
‐ Mm.
‐ I guess you're not too thrilled
with your mom marrying me.
‐ Your bio on the newspaper
website is a fib.
There's no Nathaniel Green
from Polk County.
‐ My dad left when I was a kid.
As soon as I was old enough,
I changed my name to my mom's.
Anything else you want?
(sighing)
‐ A guarantee that you keep
this entire conversation secret
from my mother.
‐ Too late for that.
(groaning)
‐ You told her everything?
‐ She's a very persuasive woman.
‐ We've got people coming
to carry him out.
Why don't you and Robbie
go and wait at the trailhead?
My son and I need to have
a chat.
‐ I was trying to protect you.
‐ You and Holly are cut from
exactly the same cloth.
You're both scared and you're
both using me as an excuse.
‐ Pfft!
What am I scared of?
‐ Change.
‐ So do you think you want
your wedding inside or outside?
‐ Do I want to have
a wedding at all?
(laughter)
‐ I'm convinced
you're a hopeless romantic,
who just hasn't found someone
worthy of her attention yet.
‐ So we're really talking about
my future fictional nuptials
instead of you skipping out
on your real‐life
future‐defining meeting?
‐ I told you.
I changed my mind. Hmm.
‐ Are you sure there's nothing
else driving this decision?
Maybe five‐foot‐nine, tall,
dark and handsome?
‐ Can we talk?
‐ Could be six feet.
(groaning)
‐ Oh, here. Here, here, here.
Let me help you.
(groaning)
Here.
(groaning)
You look so handsome.
‐ Oh, I feel like a fool for
re‐injuring my back.
‐ Aw.
‐ How am I gonna walk my mother
down the aisle
and give her away?
‐ That whole notion
of giving someone away,
it's so old‐fashioned.
I mean, you walk your child ‐
or in this case, your mother ‐
and I mean,
she's not your possession.
‐ So you mean people are able
to make major decisions
about their own life?
I know why you didn't want Holly
to go to the meeting,
and it has nothing
to do with the wedding.
(sighing)
You are afraid
of her growing up.
‐ I know, but she's 15.
Why does she have to leave?
‐ Hmm.
Because you raised her to be
a strong,
independent woman
with really big dreams.
‐ Oh.
Well, that was a big mistake.
‐ Yes, it was.
‐ Okay, so if you knew
about this,
then why did you go along
with it?
‐ I'm a grown man who can't
handle his mom leaving town.
(laughing)
I
(sighing)
I don't want to say goodbye
to our baby either.
‐ I know.
So what do we do?
‐ We have to fix this
so she doesn't resent us
for the rest of her life.
‐ Yeah.
(chuckling)
‐ Thank you.
‐ I put some music on
this hard drive.
‐ For Grandma's wedding?
‐ Apparently all the Nashville
songwriters
keep all their demos
on those.
Wanted you to look profesh.
What I said,
it wasn't about you.
It was about me.
‐ Yeah, you were worried
I'm not good enough
for Nashville.
‐ More like I was worried
I'm not good enough for you.
‐ Holly?
Holly, honey, get in the car!
‐ Um‐‐
‐ We are going to your meeting.
‐ But I'm not done setting up
for the wedding yet.
‐ I can take it from here.
‐ If we rush,
we can still make it, okay?
‐ If I mess up,
I could really burn bridges.
‐ Oh, honey.
You know what? You're not
you're not afraid of failing.
You know that?
You're afraid of succeeding,
because
if you crush it today,
that means
you are not going to summer camp
with your best friends.
That means that you're going
to Nashville.
And if you do good
in Nashville, I mean
who knows what's next,
right?
‐ How do you know all that?
‐ Because I'm scared too.
But you know what is way more
scary than change?
‐ What?
‐ Wondering what if.
Right?
‐ Okay.
‐ Okay!
(excited chatter)
Okay, and we're moving.
It's a nice moment,
but we're in a rush.
And we're leaving.
Thanks, Oscar!
‐ Good luck.
(laughing)
‐ I love you.
And if Nate makes
you happy
I love him too.

(laughter)
‐ Wow. I really don't know how
you pulled this off.
Because I found this
on the counter.
‐ The cheque.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ So you knew about it
all along?
‐ Oh, yeah.
‐ You're so sneaky.
‐ Where do you think
you get it from, darling?
(laughter)
‐ Oh, yeah!
‐ Oh, thank goodness.
(chuckles)
(laughter)
(sighing)
‐ Ah, I can't believe
you're going to Nashville
to become a songwriter.
‐ Me neither.
Our friendship can last
the summer apart, though, right?
‐ Hey, our friendship can
survive anything.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ What if no one likes me
in France?
‐ Um
(laughter)
‐ What?!
(laughter)
‐ You can always come home.
Okay?
Come here.

Okay, yeah, change is scary.

it can also be
pretty darn amazing.
