00:00:00Loca por ti

00:00:30Loca por ti estoy, loca por ti mi amor

00:00:33No puedo esconder, loca por tu sabor, tu mirad, tu olor

00:00:39¿Buen libro?

00:00:42Es el mejor libro que he leído

00:00:44Cada día te quiero cerquita de mí

00:00:47No puedo ya, loca por ti estoy, loca por ti mi amor

00:00:54No puedo más esconder, loca por ti mi amor

00:00:59No puedo ya

00:01:07Thank you so much for making the detour

00:01:11I just wanted to see it on the shelves, you know, in the wild

00:01:14About that

00:01:15Wait a second

00:01:15The bargain table, it's only been out for a month

00:01:19What, do people not like it? Why it's not selling?

00:01:22Did you look at Goodreads?

00:01:23You told me I never look at Goodreads

00:01:25Say it, Beth, what?

00:01:28Basically, some people said it felt like it was written by someone who's never been to Barcelona

00:01:33Well, well, I haven't, but I did Google Street View and I walked all over the city

00:01:38Hi, do you want me to sign this for you?

00:01:40Mm-mm

00:01:41Isn't that basically the same thing? Isn't that what the internet's for?

00:01:47They also said it felt like it was written by someone who's never been in love

00:01:51Isn't that also what the internet's for?

00:01:55Just kidding

00:01:56I don't get it, Beth

00:01:58My last book was a huge hit? What happened?

00:02:01The first time, the publisher put you with a better editor

00:02:04She did a lot to shape your first book

00:02:07You know what? I was going to mention this to you

00:02:08I didn't really click with that editor

00:02:10I think I need a new editor for the third book

00:02:12Except, they haven't picked up your option for a third book yet

00:02:16What?

00:02:25Buenos dias

00:02:26Un momentito

00:02:28Oh, just me, Mateo

00:02:29Hey, hola, Erika

00:02:32Hola

00:02:33Now, I want you to know it took every ounce of my willpower not to eat your Madalena

00:02:39Well then, here's your reward

00:02:41Oh

00:02:42You should keep it

00:02:43Give it to me in a couple weeks

00:02:45You're probably the only man who's going to give me a rose on San Jordi's Day

00:02:48Again

00:02:49You don't think you might get one from, perhaps

00:02:51A certain someone that owns a certain bookstore?

00:02:54You know, the one that calls you Rubia?

00:02:56He just calls me that because I'm blonde

00:02:57We both know in Spanish, it means more than that

00:02:59And you know, anything can happen on the day of Books and Roses

00:03:03Well, I can guarantee what's not going to happen

00:03:05Barcelona, mi amor

00:03:07What did you think of it?

00:03:11I haven't read it yet

00:03:12This one is for my sister, for San Jordi

00:03:14I heard it's the book that everyone is exchanging this year

00:03:17I will read it when she's done

00:03:18I can't wait to hear what you think

00:03:20Thank you

00:03:22I'll let her know

00:03:24If it's more bad news, I'll need another one of these

00:03:28Actually, this is good news

00:03:30What?

00:03:31As it turns out, there is one place your book is a smash hit

00:03:34Where?

00:03:35It's flying off the shelf

00:03:36Where?

00:03:36Thank you

00:03:52Thank you

00:03:53This is for you

00:03:54That you enjoy

00:03:55Thank you

00:03:55Good morning, blue eyes

00:03:59Good morning, red eyes

00:04:01I stayed late doing inventory

00:04:04I must look terrible

00:04:06No

00:04:07Good

00:04:10Barcelona, mi amor is the number one book?

00:04:14We can barely keep it in stock

00:04:17Have you read it?

00:04:20Should I read it?

00:04:22Oh yeah

00:04:22This is simply the best book I've ever read

00:04:27And I haven't even told you the best part

00:04:30I've invited the author to come to Barcelona for San Jordi

00:04:34What?

00:04:40They want me to sign books in Barcelona?

00:04:43And do a reading

00:04:44Apparently, the owner of the bookstore is a huge fan of the novel

00:04:48That's him

00:04:49That's him

00:04:50P.S. I convinced the publisher to cover your expenses

00:04:53Well, why would they do that if they don't like my work?

00:04:55They're really happy it's connecting with people there

00:04:57And since they own the Spanish rights, it's great publicity for them and for you

00:05:00Your reading is going to be the centerpiece of the bookstore, St. George's Day

00:05:05St. George's Day?

00:05:07You wrote a novel set in Barcelona

00:05:10And you don't know one of their most cherished holidays

00:05:12St. George's...

00:05:13I thought you meant St. George's Day

00:05:17I have your phone!

00:05:20The Hada de San Jordi, or San Jordi as the locals call it for short

00:05:25Is celebrated in Barcelona

00:05:27The city is transformed into a blooming spectacle of romance and literature

00:05:31The streets lined with vibrant stalls brimming with roses and books

00:05:35As couples, families and friends exchange these gifts in a beautiful blend of tradition and love

00:05:41I totally should have used this in the book

00:05:45The story had a little bit

00:06:03It's a good night, Rebia

00:06:03Hello

00:06:04Hello

00:06:04How are you?

00:06:05Ah, good

00:06:06Ah, um

00:06:07And also that is a good time

00:06:08Are you along?

00:06:09Are we thatepins?

00:06:10Si, claro, of course, but, uh, just, espera, un secundo.

00:06:35Okay.

00:06:40I'm sorry, come on.

00:06:43Yes?

00:06:44Yeah, of course.

00:06:45Good evening.

00:06:46Good evening.

00:06:47How are you?

00:06:49Good.

00:06:50How are you?

00:06:51Can I get you something to, uh, something to drink?

00:06:55Yeah.

00:06:56Do you have any...

00:06:58Orange peel tea?

00:06:59Yes.

00:07:00Of course.

00:07:01And maybe some...

00:07:02Canela?

00:07:03Yes.

00:07:04I have cinnamon.

00:07:05And do you have a dash of, um, how do you say it?

00:07:09Ah, saffron?

00:07:10Yes, saffron.

00:07:11That's correct.

00:07:12Saffron.

00:07:13You know me so well.

00:07:14Well, we've been friends for, um, five years.

00:07:16It feels like we've been friends our whole lives.

00:07:20An eternity.

00:07:22Which is why I know what you want.

00:07:25You do?

00:07:26You do?

00:07:27Yeah.

00:07:33How did you know?

00:07:40Se acabo.

00:07:41Se acabo.

00:07:42So, you didn't just come here because you know I have your favorite tea, right?

00:07:48I mean, not that you have to have a reason.

00:07:50Sometimes no reason is the best reason.

00:07:53Well, I do have a small reason.

00:07:56I brought you a book.

00:07:57But it's not St. Jordy's.

00:08:02I mean, not that you would give me a book on St. Jordy's.

00:08:06This isn't some romantic gesture.

00:08:08It's just a book, right?

00:08:10That you want me to read.

00:08:11I get it.

00:08:13Well, it's the one we were talking about.

00:08:18Anna Kelly's writing is...

00:08:21It isn't just about Barcelona.

00:08:23It's a celebration of her deep understanding of human nature, relationships.

00:08:29It's...

00:08:30Yeah.

00:08:31I want you to read it.

00:08:34Gracias.

00:08:36I'll put it on the list.

00:08:38I was hoping you could put it on the top of the list because...

00:08:43Hannah Kelly has accepted to come to Barcelona for St. Jordy.

00:08:47She's coming here?

00:08:48Yes.

00:08:49Tomorrow.

00:08:50So, I have a favor to ask.

00:08:53If I can't be around as much because of work, maybe you can keep her company?

00:09:00Oh, uh...

00:09:02I thought it would be nice if she had a fellow American to talk to.

00:09:06Maybe you can translate a letter for her if she needs it.

00:09:09Since that's what you do.

00:09:11Well, I mean, I do it for books, you know.

00:09:13Not real life people.

00:09:15I'll owe you one.

00:09:18Oh.

00:09:19No, you don't.

00:09:20I'm happy to help.

00:09:21That's what prints are for.

00:09:23I can't wait to meet the woman whose words have made me fall in love with Barcelona again.

00:09:29So, let me get this straight.

00:09:34Nico has a literary crush on the writer of this book.

00:09:37And now, you have to be her Barcelona buddy?

00:09:40He just asked me to do a favor, but I don't think I can.

00:09:43Why?

00:09:44Why not?

00:09:46Go into silence.

00:09:48Mm-hmm.

00:09:51Okay.

00:09:55I did the translation.

00:09:56You did?

00:09:57Why didn't you say anything before?

00:09:59Because that's part of my contract with the publisher.

00:10:02I have to be invisible.

00:10:03A ghost.

00:10:04Totally anonymous.

00:10:06So, is the author of this book as brilliant as Nico says?

00:10:10Well, Nico didn't really read Anna Kelly's version.

00:10:14Of course.

00:10:15Sorry.

00:10:16He read your translation.

00:10:18This is a smidge more than a translation.

00:10:21Erica, what did you do?

00:10:24I rewrote it.

00:10:25Un poquito.

00:10:27How much is un poquito?

00:10:28A little.

00:10:30Okay.

00:10:31Maybe a lot.

00:10:33Maybe a little more than a lot.

00:10:36It just happened.

00:10:37You know, I didn't mean to.

00:10:38But the words, they just started flowing.

00:10:40And then it was really good.

00:10:41And, you know, they give you a little wiggle room when you're doing a translation.

00:10:44But I think I wiggled more than I was supposed to.

00:10:46And now this is the version that all of Barcelona is going wild over.

00:10:51Wait.

00:10:53But that means that Nico's literary crush is actually on you.

00:10:57This is fantastic.

00:10:58You should tell him about this, so you can finally have what you always wanted.

00:11:02My name is never gonna be on that book.

00:11:05I mean the other thing you wanted.

00:11:08Nico and I are just friends.

00:11:11That was clear two years ago, clear last year, and clear five minutes ago when he gave me a book, not on St. Jordy's Day.

00:11:18Well, can you at least tell him that you wrote the words that he's so in love with?

00:11:21No.

00:11:24I can't.

00:11:26When the publishers figured out what I did, they said they loved it.

00:11:29And then they reminded me that I signed a non-disclosure agreement.

00:11:32So I am not supposed to tell a soul that I had anything to do with this.

00:11:36And you can't tell anyone either.

00:11:38Fine.

00:11:39Fine.

00:11:40But I hate this call of silence.

00:11:43Hmm.

00:11:46Me too.

00:11:47Excuse me.

00:11:48Hi.

00:11:49I actually wrote this book.

00:11:50Look.

00:11:51You want to sign it?

00:11:52Oh, wow.

00:11:53This is so cool.

00:11:54Look at this.

00:11:56Enjoy.

00:11:57Thanks.

00:11:58Hi, Anna.

00:11:59Hi.

00:12:00I'm friends with Nico Oliveira from the bookstore.

00:12:01And he asked me to come here.

00:12:02I'm Erica.

00:12:03How do you spell that?

00:12:04With a C.

00:12:05He asked me to come here to talk to you, answer any questions you have about the city, and,

00:12:08you know, just help in any way I can.

00:12:09You seem like a really good friend.

00:12:10Oh, yeah.

00:12:11We are.

00:12:12So, what can I do?

00:12:13Uh, I actually wrote this book.

00:12:14Look.

00:12:15You want to sign it?

00:12:16Oh, wow.

00:12:17This is so cool.

00:12:18Look at this.

00:12:20Enjoy.

00:12:21Thanks.

00:12:22Hi, Anna.

00:12:23Hi.

00:12:24I'm friends with Nico Oliveira from the bookstore.

00:12:25And he asked me to come here.

00:12:26I'm Erica.

00:12:27What do you do?

00:12:28Uh, I mean, I would love, like, a fruit plate, maybe, or a sparkling water.

00:12:31Just to clarify, I'm not an assistant so much as a fellow American who's here to introduce

00:12:37you to Barcelona.

00:12:38Sorry.

00:12:39No, it's okay.

00:12:40Of course, you're American.

00:12:41I was just thinking, you spoke really, really good English.

00:12:44Wow.

00:12:45Well, I've lived here for 10 years now.

00:12:47My boyfriend broke up with me.

00:12:48I came here, fell in love with the city, and found a way to stay.

00:12:52He turned out to be a professional bowler, so I think I made the right call.

00:12:56Me too.

00:12:57I have no idea why I just don't do that.

00:13:00Oh, no, no.

00:13:01It's okay.

00:13:02You know what?

00:13:03This happens to me all the time.

00:13:04I think I just, I have one of those faces.

00:13:06People tell me things.

00:13:07I'm so sorry.

00:13:08No problem.

00:13:09So, where is my assistant?

00:13:11You don't have one.

00:13:13Oh.

00:13:14But I need to get you to the bookstore.

00:13:15Let's do it.

00:13:16Here, you hold that.

00:13:18I'll do it.

00:13:19Look, we're holding things.

00:13:20Get an assistant.

00:13:21It's fine.

00:13:22We'll manage.

00:13:28Señorita Kelly.

00:13:29Oh, thank you.

00:13:30Oh.

00:13:31Oh.

00:13:32Oh.

00:13:33I forgot about the kiss on both cheeks thing.

00:13:36You can call me Anna.

00:13:37Anna, la bella poetisa.

00:13:41What does that mean?

00:13:42The beautiful poetess.

00:13:44Oh.

00:13:46Are you hungry?

00:13:47I'm literally always hungry.

00:13:50You know what the hotel clerk told me that I had to try.

00:13:54Come on.

00:13:55Fuet de Vic.

00:13:57Fuet de Vic.

00:14:00De Vic.

00:14:01De Vic.

00:14:02People really do tell you things.

00:14:03That's good to tell me.

00:14:04Shall we then?

00:14:05Yes.

00:14:06Let's go.

00:14:07Eddie, will you join us?

00:14:10Oh, yes, please.

00:14:11In case I can't find the words.

00:14:13Army.

00:14:15Of course.

00:14:16Perfect.

00:14:17Come on.

00:14:18Please.

00:14:19Try this.

00:14:20Amazing.

00:14:21Tell me how you pronounce it.

00:14:22Panay.

00:14:23Panay.

00:14:24Panay, yes.

00:14:25Panay, yes.

00:14:26Panay, yes.

00:14:27This is from Catalan's oldest bakery.

00:14:29Erica is our resident pastry specialist.

00:14:33And we have to tell me where all the secret spots are,

00:14:35because it's my first time in Barcelona.

00:14:37But your writing perfectly captures the beating heart of the city.

00:14:46Right?

00:14:47Mm-hmm.

00:14:48I mean, how is that possible?

00:14:50You've never been here yet.

00:14:51You know, so many of the, and,

00:14:54How do you say, intangibles?

00:14:57Intangibles.

00:14:58Intangibles.

00:14:59Mm-hmm.

00:15:00Intangibles.

00:15:01Um, you know, I think I've always thought I belonged in, in Europe.

00:15:05Maybe I've lived here in a past life.

00:15:07I believe it.

00:15:08Otherwise, how could you know so many of the details?

00:15:12It's, it's, I don't know what's wrong with me today.

00:15:17My mind is jumbled.

00:15:19Oh.

00:15:20How do you say, miraculous?

00:15:22Miraculous.

00:15:24Miraculous.

00:15:31Sorry.

00:15:32Eh, Eddie, Ara, this is my new assistant manager, Joseph.

00:15:36Oh, hello.

00:15:37Mucho gusto.

00:15:38Nice to meet you.

00:15:39I'm so obsessed with your book.

00:15:40Will you sign my copy of Mi Amor?

00:15:42Of course.

00:15:44Is that why you're here?

00:15:46Uh, also the computer just crashed and we can check anyone out.

00:15:49Okay.

00:15:50I'll be right back.

00:15:51Yeah.

00:15:52Go.

00:15:53Thank you so much.

00:15:58Oh my gosh.

00:16:00Hey, did you feel that?

00:16:02I mean, I have chills.

00:16:03That was that there's like serious sparks between us.

00:16:05Yeah.

00:16:06I've never felt anything like that.

00:16:07What, what do I do?

00:16:09Why are you asking me?

00:16:10Well, because you're really dear friends with Nico, right?

00:16:14Unless, are you and Nico?

00:16:16No.

00:16:17No, you're not.

00:16:18No.

00:16:19Okay.

00:16:20Not even close.

00:16:21Alright, so, thoughts?

00:16:22What do I do?

00:16:23On...

00:16:24Well, like how do I get close to him?

00:16:26Like, like, what's his favorite food?

00:16:28I can talk to anybody about food.

00:16:29Aren't you only going to be here for a week?

00:16:31Unless I have a reason to stay longer.

00:16:33You just met Nico five minutes ago.

00:16:36Oh, you're not a romantic, are you?

00:16:39Oh, hi.

00:16:40Thank you so much.

00:16:41I'm in heaven.

00:16:43That's not where I am.

00:16:46Oh, you try the, try the back one.

00:16:48Oh, hola.

00:16:50Hola.

00:16:51So, Ana, please tell me.

00:16:54Yes.

00:16:55What was your inspiration behind the scene of the, the finario?

00:17:02What's he saying?

00:17:04The, uh, fishing scene?

00:17:06Mmm.

00:17:07Yes.

00:17:08I wanted Jorge to, to feel more masculine.

00:17:12You know, spearing his fish rather than just buying it from the market.

00:17:17I'm sorry.

00:17:18I didn't understand.

00:17:20Dinner?

00:17:21Um, dinner.

00:17:22How do you say?

00:17:23Los delphines.

00:17:24Eran una metáfora por el flor de la vida.

00:17:31I knew it.

00:17:32I've always said this about dolphins.

00:17:35That's funny.

00:17:36I don't remember writing anything about dolphins.

00:17:38Oh, don't worry about it.

00:17:39It's one of those things that just gets lost in translation.

00:17:42Okay.

00:17:43Nico, tell me.

00:17:44What were some of your other favorite parts?

00:17:46The symbolism of Silvia serving Jorge jamón ibérico.

00:17:52Somehow knowing it would be his last meal.

00:17:55It brought me to tears.

00:17:57Jamón ibérico.

00:17:58What is that?

00:17:59Uh, the, uh, Spain's very famous acorn-fed ham.

00:18:03Oh!

00:18:04Yes, I was just reading about that.

00:18:05I'm dying to try it.

00:18:07In that case, you're about to be very happy.

00:18:13Oh!

00:18:14Gracias.

00:18:15Yeah.

00:18:16What was that?

00:18:17Oh, you know what?

00:18:18I'm trying that Barcelona TH thing.

00:18:20Is it working?

00:18:21No.

00:18:22Oh.

00:18:24Can I ask you something?

00:18:25It's a little funny.

00:18:26I don't remember writing about ham in the book either.

00:18:29I know.

00:18:30You do?

00:18:33How?

00:18:34What?

00:18:35What did you say you do for a living?

00:18:36I'm a literary translator.

00:18:38What was the last book you translated?

00:18:43You translated my book, didn't you?

00:18:45Yeah, I did.

00:18:46Yeah, I knew it!

00:18:47I knew it!

00:18:48I knew it!

00:18:49Because I don't remember writing about dolphins or stained glass windows or St. Jordan's Day.

00:18:55It's St. Jordy's Day.

00:18:56Would you stop it?

00:18:57Who cares?

00:18:58Just tell me what else you changed.

00:19:01Are you even allowed to do that?

00:19:03Oh, yeah.

00:19:04The publisher gives translators room for interpretation.

00:19:07And you just interpreted the word little as the entire thing?

00:19:10I didn't intend to.

00:19:11I swear.

00:19:12I mean, your name is on the book.

00:19:13I am totally anonymous.

00:19:14No one ever has to know.

00:19:16Yes, but now I know.

00:19:17And I'm the one that's gonna go around signing this book that I didn't really write.

00:19:21I don't think I can stay here.

00:19:33Anna?

00:19:34Anna, just...

00:19:35Which way is my hotel?

00:19:36I have to pack.

00:19:37No, no, you can't leave.

00:19:38Well, I can't stay here.

00:19:39I'm here for an author event, and apparently...

00:19:40No, I'm not even the author.

00:19:41Wait, stop!

00:19:42Wait, does Nico know about this?

00:19:43No, of course not.

00:19:44I signed an NDA.

00:19:45I can't tell anyone who has anything to do with the book, including people who sell

00:19:46it.

00:19:47But Nico has focused his entire St. Jordy's Day on you.

00:19:48Just enjoy the ride, huh?

00:19:49By ride, you mean the kind that whips your head around until you feel like you're gonna throw

00:20:02up?

00:20:03No, thank you.

00:20:04I really started to feel like I was connecting with people here, you know?

00:20:09Like my career was really taking a turn.

00:20:13What am I supposed to do now?

00:20:15I mean, if no one wants to read what I write, am I even a writer?

00:20:18Okay, wait a second.

00:20:19You already published a book before this one, right?

00:20:21That's more than 99% of people can say, including me.

00:20:25I mean, I really thought that would have happened by now.

00:20:28What, get published?

00:20:31Yeah.

00:20:32And love and marriage and having a family?

00:20:36I've never said that out loud before.

00:20:40Now I know why, because it's really depressing.

00:20:43Let's just forget it.

00:20:44Your hotel is that way.

00:20:46I'm right there with you.

00:20:51I really thought at this point I'd be living like a Nancy Meyers character.

00:20:54In the Hamptons, with my beautiful desk overlooking the ocean.

00:20:59Pretty romanticized vision of life.

00:21:01Well, what's wrong with that?

00:21:02Nothing, it's just, you know, I mean, it's not very realistic.

00:21:05Well, right now real life stinks.

00:21:07Romance is all I have left.

00:21:16Maybe that's it.

00:21:18Maybe it was never about the book.

00:21:20No, it's about the book.

00:21:27You have to stay.

00:21:28You have to do the reading.

00:21:29No.

00:21:30Maybe I was meant to come to Barcelona for something more.

00:21:36Like what?

00:21:37Love.

00:21:38Of course.

00:21:40Oh, this all makes sense now.

00:21:43If you hadn't done what you did, then I would never would have come to Barcelona.

00:21:46I never would have met Nico.

00:21:48This is it.

00:21:49This is my real life love story.

00:21:51This is fate.

00:21:52Okay. Okay.

00:21:53I know it's been an emotional day, but fate, love, you just met him.

00:21:57What are you talking about?

00:21:58You saw how he looked at me.

00:21:59He's super into me.

00:22:01This is it.

00:22:02This is my second chance to do the two things.

00:22:05Everybody told me I had to do before I wrote the book.

00:22:08And what's that now?

00:22:10Come to Barcelona and fall in love.

00:22:13There you are.

00:22:15Here I am.

00:22:16Please come.

00:22:17I want to ask you something.

00:22:19Yes.

00:22:20Okay.

00:22:21Here.

00:22:22Hold this.

00:22:23Okay.

00:22:26Eddie.

00:22:27Are you coming along?

00:22:29Oh.

00:22:30I don't want to be a third wheel.

00:22:32How do you say it in Spain?

00:22:34A camel holder?

00:22:35Sujeta Bella?

00:22:36Yeah.

00:22:37I would never see you like that.

00:22:38Come on!

00:22:48This is where my great grandfather Leo would find books a hundred years ago.

00:22:54Does all the equipment still work?

00:22:56Of course.

00:22:57It's part of Spanish literary history.

00:23:00The Spanish are famous for loving their literature.

00:23:03Which makes sense because they've got an entire holiday around it.

00:23:06Exactly.

00:23:07And we have great writers like Cervantes or Calderon Lorca.

00:23:13Have you read Rosa Montero's short stories?

00:23:17I don't really have.

00:23:18Oh, she's an amazing author.

00:23:19One of my favorites.

00:23:20She believes that love isn't just about the epic romances.

00:23:23It's also in the everyday.

00:23:25I have to say I agree with her.

00:23:27I do as well.

00:23:29I think I'm more of a grand gestures kind of girl myself.

00:23:33Great.

00:23:34Because that's basically what San Jordi is.

00:23:37I was thinking, what better way to mark the occasion than have an original short story written, printed, and bound right here and sold only on San Jordi.

00:23:52That's a wonderful idea, Nico.

00:23:55Who would you want to write El Quinto?

00:23:58I was hoping.

00:24:02You would, Ana.

00:24:05What?

00:24:06You could write the quinto.

00:24:09Uh, what's a, what's a quinto?

00:24:11A short story for San Jordi's day.

00:24:13Oh.

00:24:14Yes.

00:24:15Your writing was as much a love letter to Spain as anyone I've read.

00:24:20Wow.

00:24:21It's basically the best compliment you can give to a writer.

00:24:27Will you do it?

00:24:29Yes, I will.

00:24:30I will write a short story.

00:24:34This means so much to me and the bookstore.

00:24:36Mm-hmm.

00:24:37It isn't easy to stay ahead in business these days.

00:24:39But, between your quinto and the book signing, this store will be the center of Spanish literature once again.

00:24:48Whoa.

00:24:49It's a big deal.

00:24:50It's a big deal.

00:24:56I'm really excited.

00:24:57This is like my second chance to prove myself.

00:25:00Just remember that writing short stories isn't easy.

00:25:02You have to fit a lot and a little space and sometimes they don't turn out the way you want them to.

00:25:06Does it have to be in Spanish?

00:25:08Yes.

00:25:09But I will find you a translator.

00:25:10Don't worry.

00:25:11Why can't it be you?

00:25:12Well, I didn't think you'd want it to be me after what happened last time.

00:25:14Well, I thought you were here to help me with all things Barcelona.

00:25:16I meant more like restaurant recommendations.

00:25:18There's something I do really need help with.

00:25:21I like Nico.

00:25:22Like a lot.

00:25:23I need your help finding the words that I mean to say but, like, better.

00:25:30Like a Spanish Cyrano?

00:25:32Cyrano.

00:25:33Remind me.

00:25:34Ides of March, Rome.

00:25:35That's Caesar.

00:25:36Oh!

00:25:37Cyrano wrote the words made the person fall in love.

00:25:38Peter Dinklage movie.

00:25:39Steve Martin.

00:25:40Roxanne!

00:25:42Yes!

00:25:43But I don't think it's a good idea.

00:25:44Will you think about it?

00:25:46Please think about it.

00:25:50And you said no, right?

00:25:51I said I would think about it.

00:25:54Does the publisher know that you and Anna have met?

00:25:56No.

00:25:57What happens if they find out you told Anna you translated the book?

00:26:00Well, then I'm in breach of my NDA.

00:26:02It ruins my professional career and I'll never get hired again.

00:26:06What are you going to do?

00:26:07I think I just need to get ahead of it.

00:26:09I'm gonna call them and follow my literary sword.

00:26:17You can start at the shop on Monday.

00:26:19They didn't fire me.

00:26:21What?

00:26:22I know.

00:26:23They said they liked the publicity the book's been getting.

00:26:26Oh.

00:26:27And since I told Anna and she didn't threaten to sue, they're happy to let it go.

00:26:31That's wonderful.

00:26:32You're free.

00:26:34Well, as long as I do another project for them.

00:26:38Which one?

00:26:39Her short story.

00:26:41How do they even know about that?

00:26:43Nico called them and asked for permission.

00:26:46So they said yes.

00:26:48But they want me to mold it and translate it and stay anonymous.

00:26:54Again.

00:26:55That's ridiculous.

00:26:57You have done enough to help.

00:26:59You deserve your name on that cover.

00:27:01It's okay.

00:27:02I'm happy to help.

00:27:03Besides, Anna didn't deserve to get blindsided the way that she did.

00:27:06This is the least I can do to make it up to her.

00:27:09You know that's going to bring her closer to Nico, right?

00:27:13Nico is my friend.

00:27:15I want him to be happy.

00:27:17Even if it's not with me.

00:27:18Whatever you say, girl.

00:27:19Don't open them.

00:27:20Close your eyes.

00:27:21Yeah, don't lie.

00:27:22No, don't lie to me.

00:27:23Come, come, come, please.

00:27:24Okay.

00:27:25Come with me.

00:27:26Here.

00:27:27Stay there.

00:27:28Okay.

00:27:29So.

00:27:31And now.

00:27:32Open them.

00:27:34Here it is.

00:27:35La Sagrada Familia.

00:27:36It's even more beautiful than I imagined.

00:27:50I still can't believe you've never been here.

00:27:55In the novel, you've described this place so eloquently.

00:28:00Eloquently.

00:28:01Yeah.

00:28:02Did I?

00:28:03Yeah.

00:28:04The spires grow higher and higher, ensuring they'll be seen from heaven.

00:28:09This was one of my favorite passages in the novel.

00:28:18For recommending the book to me.

00:28:21Sure.

00:28:22Come on.

00:28:23Yeah!

00:28:24Ana, what inspired you to use the Basilica's metaphor for Jorge's refusal to give up on Sylvia?

00:28:33Oh.

00:28:34You know what?

00:28:35I think I just got a text message from my agent.

00:28:38Just give me one sign.

00:28:40Yes.

00:28:41Yeah.

00:28:42You know, the Basilica's always evolving.

00:28:46Just like Jorge and Sylvia's relationship.

00:28:47Yeah.

00:28:48Wow.

00:28:49Whatever they're doing over there smells really good.

00:28:51Look.

00:28:52Our favorite croqueta card.

00:28:53I was hoping he'd be here.

00:28:55I remember the first time you tried one.

00:28:56You were so happy.

00:28:57And you did that adorable dance.

00:28:58I don't know what you're talking about.

00:28:59You do.

00:29:00No, I don't.

00:29:01No, I don't.

00:29:02Do it.

00:29:03What?

00:29:04No.

00:29:05Do it.

00:29:06Do it.

00:29:07Yeah.

00:29:08Fine.

00:29:09I will.

00:29:10Croqueta.

00:29:11Croqueta.

00:29:12Croqueta.

00:29:13Croqueta.

00:29:14Croqueta.

00:29:15Croqueta.

00:29:16Croqueta.

00:29:17Croqueta.

00:29:18Croqueta.

00:29:19Croqueta.

00:29:28This is so surreal.

00:29:30I know, right?

00:29:31It's like waking up from a beautiful dream and you just want to hang onto it before it fades.

00:29:36I feel the same way.

00:29:38You've always been so good at finding just the right words.

00:29:42Well, it is my job, right?

00:29:44I know you always told me that you don't have time to write your own stories, but I think

00:29:50you should.

00:29:51Claro.

00:29:52Rubia.

00:29:53Escribir tus propias palabras en lugar de traducir las de otros.

00:29:57My own words.

00:29:58Si.

00:29:59Yeah.

00:30:00Yeah.

00:30:01I'll think about it.

00:30:05Ana.

00:30:06Hmm.

00:30:07Hi.

00:30:08Hey.

00:30:09So, how is your search story coming along?

00:30:12It's good.

00:30:13I mean, I'm still brainstorming on the ideas.

00:30:15You know, noodling.

00:30:16Letting them fester.

00:30:17Great.

00:30:18Don't you mean simmer?

00:30:19Depends on the idea.

00:30:21Mm-hmm.

00:30:22This is where Sylvia worked?

00:30:23This is where Sylvia worked.

00:30:24Yeah.

00:30:25Wow.

00:30:26It's beautiful.

00:30:27Did I do it justice?

00:30:28Of course I did.

00:30:29What do you think?

00:30:30Oh.

00:30:31I mean, it's amazing.

00:30:32It's like, you know, the windows are eyes staring in our eyes.

00:30:36Yes.

00:30:37Yeah.

00:30:38To me, it seems like…

00:30:39Un sueño.

00:30:40Un sueño.

00:30:41A daydream.

00:30:42Yes.

00:30:43Yes.

00:30:44Yes.

00:30:45Yes.

00:30:46Like when you have a fior.

00:30:47What do you see the inside?

00:30:49Every room is like, it melted on a hot day.

00:30:51It's almost overwhelming.

00:30:52Wait, before we go inside, can we just grab a bite to eat?

00:30:53There's this restaurant down the street I'm dying to try.

00:30:54Yeah, of course.

00:30:55But what's it called?

00:30:56I mean, we know every place.

00:30:57Oh.

00:30:58You don't want to end up in a tourist trail.

00:30:59Yeah, it's called Supermarcats.

00:31:00This lady in the bathroom at Sagrada Familia told me that she's like…

00:31:02Yes.

00:31:03And she's like, yeah, she's like…

00:31:04Yes.

00:31:05Yes.

00:31:06Yes.

00:31:07Yes.

00:31:08Yes.

00:31:09Yes.

00:31:10Yes.

00:31:11Yes.

00:31:12Yes.

00:31:13Yes.

00:31:14Yes.

00:31:15Yes.

00:31:16Yes.

00:31:17Yes.

00:31:18Yes.

00:31:19Yes.

00:31:20Yes.

00:31:21Yes.

00:31:22She told me about it.

00:31:23She said it's not in any of the guidebooks and it's this local secret.

00:31:26A local gives a tip about that secret spot to a tourist.

00:31:30What kind of magic power do you have?

00:31:33Believe me, it's just her thing.

00:31:35Let's go see if we can find it.

00:31:36Come on.

00:31:39I don't know, Anna.

00:31:40I think the bathroom lady was messing with you.

00:31:42No, no.

00:31:43Check it out.

00:31:44This isn't the real entrance.

00:31:45Follow me.

00:31:46What?

00:31:47Hola.

00:31:48Recarious gratis.

00:31:50Free refills.

00:31:51No.

00:31:52What?

00:31:53Wow.

00:31:54No.

00:31:55No way.

00:31:56This is crazy.

00:31:57Told you so.

00:31:58See, I don't have to rely on Erica for everything.

00:32:00So this is very typical.

00:32:01They are pinchos.

00:32:02They are pinchos.

00:32:03What do you want to start with?

00:32:04What do you want to start with?

00:32:05Well, the publisher is paying, so I have to pay for everything.

00:32:06No.

00:32:07No way.

00:32:08No way.

00:32:09No way.

00:32:10This is crazy.

00:32:11No way.

00:32:12No way.

00:32:13This is crazy.

00:32:14No way.

00:32:15No way.

00:32:16No way.

00:32:17No way.

00:32:18This is crazy.

00:32:19No way.

00:32:20No way.

00:32:21No way.

00:32:22No way.

00:32:23No way.

00:32:24I told you so.

00:32:25Te lo dije.

00:32:26See, I don't have to rely on Erica for everything.

00:32:27So.

00:32:28This is very typical.

00:32:29They are pinchos.

00:32:30What do you want to start with?

00:32:32Well, the publisher is paying, so I think we should get one of everything.

00:32:34Uh-huh.

00:32:35The perks of being a brilliant author.

00:32:38Oh, no.

00:32:39I'm really not.

00:32:40I'm modest, too.

00:32:47Patatas Bravas.

00:32:48Oh, I love Patatas Bravas.

00:32:50I have this at this famous Spanish restaurant in Boston.

00:32:53They are the heirs of Spain, transformed, offering a bite that is both fierce and comforting.

00:33:01I actually wrote that.

00:33:03Yeah, I know.

00:33:04You did.

00:33:05Well.

00:33:06Eat, please.

00:33:07Mm-hmm.

00:33:08Yeah.

00:33:09Mmm.

00:33:10Oh, oh.

00:33:11Okay.

00:33:12You are the definition of comer con ganas.

00:33:18That means eating with joy or gusto.

00:33:21Yeah.

00:33:22But in your case, it's with pasión, with passion.

00:33:25It's very nice to meet someone that…

00:33:28...como se dice cuando que la pasión se puede leer como un libro abierto.

00:33:34Oh.

00:33:35Well, in English we have an expression where your heart on your sleeve.

00:33:38Yes.

00:33:39Well, I'll take that as a compliment.

00:33:40You should.

00:33:41Hey, Nico.

00:33:42How are you?

00:33:43Where have you been?

00:33:44Hey.

00:33:45There's a friend of mine.

00:33:46We'll be back.

00:33:47Mm-hmm.

00:33:48Mm-hmm.

00:33:49Mm.

00:33:50Good job.

00:33:52No problem.

00:33:53Ideas for your cuento?

00:33:58Oh, no.

00:33:59I was actually just writing notes on the food.

00:34:02Uh, are you having trouble starting a short story?

00:34:04Do you, um, wanna bounce ideas off of me?

00:34:07Eric, but no.

00:34:08I'm gonna write this one myself.

00:34:09Trust me.

00:34:10Okay.

00:34:11Of course.

00:34:12This is from the owner.

00:34:14Oh.

00:34:15He's a huge fan.

00:34:16Gracias.

00:34:17I've never seen anyone make so quickly friends.

00:34:23You never know who will be the next step in your journey.

00:34:27Yeah.

00:34:28Do you believe in fate, Nico?

00:34:32An American poet once said,

00:34:37fate weaves its tapestry in mysterious ways.

00:34:42Hmm.

00:34:43And, ¿me ayudas?

00:34:45Si.

00:34:46Que a veces, uno no sabe por qué las cosas fallan.

00:34:51Sometimes it's hard to understand why things fail.

00:34:54El robo con el tiempo, todo cobra sentido.

00:34:57But with time, everything becomes clear.

00:35:01Mmm.

00:35:02Bien.

00:35:04Let us toast.

00:35:05Okay.

00:35:06It's a life's invisible threads that tie us together and make things beautiful.

00:35:13Por el tapiz.

00:35:14To the tapestry.

00:35:15To the tapestry.

00:35:16To the tapestry.

00:35:17Cheers.

00:35:18Yeah.

00:35:19I love this place.

00:35:20Everything feels like we're in a movie.

00:35:22Well, you do realize you're living a very idealized version of Barcelona.

00:35:26Which is why I'm making the most of every moment.

00:35:27I'm living a real-life romance novel and I'm not missing a second.

00:35:31More like a tel novella.

00:35:32Ooh, okay.

00:35:33So, Nico texted.

00:35:34He wants to know if I want to have lunch.

00:35:35So, how do I write back and say yes in a way that makes it sound like I'm interested

00:35:38but not desperate?

00:35:39And flirty but casual and romantic but witty.

00:35:40I'm gonna need a drink for this.

00:35:41It doesn't have to be a Shakespearean sonnet.

00:35:42Just tell him yes, that you're already out with Mateo and me and he's welcome to join

00:35:43us.

00:35:44Oh, and now he's texting saying that he's out with Joseph.

00:35:45Can you bring him?

00:35:46Yes.

00:35:47Of course.

00:35:48Yes, comma, of course.

00:35:49Parenthetical.

00:35:50No.

00:35:51No.

00:35:52No.

00:35:53No.

00:35:54No.

00:35:55No.

00:35:56No.

00:35:57No.

00:35:58No.

00:35:59No.

00:36:00No.

00:36:01No.

00:36:02No.

00:36:03No.

00:36:04No.

00:36:05No.

00:36:06No.

00:36:07No.

00:36:08No.

00:36:09No.

00:36:10No.

00:36:11No.

00:36:12No.

00:36:13No.

00:36:14It's too separate.

00:36:15Too separate.

00:36:16What?

00:36:17You know what?

00:36:18You just do it.

00:36:19You're better at this than me.

00:36:22Mateo, it's a pleasure to meet you again.

00:36:24Same.

00:36:25Oh, that's right.

00:36:26You two have never met.

00:36:27No, never.

00:36:28So this is my assistant manager, Joseph.

00:36:31How's it?

00:36:32I'm happy.

00:36:33Same.

00:36:34You look familiar.

00:36:35Have we met?

00:36:37Oh.

00:36:39Oh, yeah.

00:36:40Yeah, you own that beautiful flower shop in Grazia.

00:36:43Have you been? I'm sure I've remembered.

00:36:46I always wanted to come in, but didn't have a reason to buy flowers.

00:36:53Well, let's hope you find one soon.

00:36:57I love your glasses.

00:37:00And I love yours.

00:37:03Um, why don't you and I switch spots?

00:37:06Can I see the chef over there? I'm gonna say hi.

00:37:08Hey. What is happening here?

00:37:15What do you think is happening, amor?

00:37:19I thought you were in love with him.

00:37:22With Mateo?

00:37:23Yeah.

00:37:25Are you joking?

00:37:27You were very close.

00:37:32Yes, he was just being a good friend.

00:37:35Besides...

00:37:36Yeah.

00:37:39Now I see you.

00:37:40Right.

00:42:30well in the book you described barcelona cuisine perfectly i think you should consider making that a

00:42:36career a career writing about food isn't a job for me it's a hobby besides i'm an author i'm not an

00:42:42influencer it's a little late for me to be changing careers now don't you think

00:42:47maybe since san jordi's is one week away i would love to just take a look at what you've worked on

00:42:52so far if that's okay

00:43:36magazine i was working at folded and then tried to put myself out there submit and basically every

00:43:43publication rejected my work so i decided to come here and teach english which was amazing and i thought

00:43:51i would stay here a few months lick my wounds and then go home and then this became home so i decided

00:43:56to stay and i got a career translating books and i really love it but you know all the best authors

00:51:38The pleasure was all mine.

00:51:39The pleasure was all mine.

00:51:52Rubia.

00:51:53Oh, Nico.

00:51:54Hola.

00:51:55Hola.

00:51:56Have you come to help set up for St. Jordi?

00:51:58Oh, uh, oh, I was looking for Anna.

00:52:02Huh?

00:52:03She's here.

00:52:04She's being interviewed by the local TV station.

00:52:07Right.

00:52:08There's an honesty there.

00:52:10About the book?

00:52:11Yeah, yeah.

00:52:12About the book.

00:52:13And her cuento.

00:52:14Yeah.

00:52:16It is getting so much more attention than I ever thought.

00:52:21I can imagine how it fears to move so many people with one's words.

00:52:29Imagine it's a wonderful feeling.

00:52:31I was just writing about the truth.

00:52:34Like a dream come true.

00:52:38Ayuda?

00:52:39Yeah.

00:52:42Rubia, why don't you ask Anna for help with finding your own, you know, passion?

00:52:50You think I don't have passion?

00:52:52No.

00:52:53Yes, yes, yes, you have.

00:52:55I can see it sometimes.

00:52:57Like when we are watching football or when you are talking about a book that you love.

00:53:05I can see it.

00:53:06But most of the days...

00:53:09Rubia, I don't know how you feel.

00:53:13You keep things inside.

00:53:16You think I should just wear my heart on my sleeve like Anna does?

00:53:19Would that be so bad?

00:53:23It's not that I don't feel deeply, Nico.

00:53:25I do.

00:53:27I just...

00:53:28don't like to show it.

00:53:30Why?

00:53:31Because every time I do I end up getting hurt.

00:53:33I'm so sorry.

00:53:35Oh, those interviews took so much longer than I thought.

00:53:37I was gonna meet you at your place, but...

00:53:39A lot of questions about the book.

00:53:42Answered them all in English?

00:53:43Sure did.

00:53:44Yeah, I wish you'd been there.

00:53:46That was great.

00:53:47I bet you did great.

00:53:48I'm sorry.

00:53:49It's so nice that you've become so close.

00:53:51Oh.

00:53:53Anna, I don't mean to pressure you, but how is your cuento coming along?

00:53:57We need to bind them as soon as possible.

00:53:59I'm gonna spend the rest of the day on it.

00:54:00Yeah?

00:54:01Yeah.

00:54:07You're doing it.

00:54:08You're really writing.

00:54:09I knew you could do it, Anna.

00:54:10This is so great.

00:54:11It's great.

00:54:12It's great.

00:54:13Yes, I'm totally on it.

00:54:14You know what?

00:54:15Meet me tomorrow morning at the hotel 10 a.m.

00:54:17Yeah.

00:54:1810 a.m.

00:54:19Good.

00:54:20Good job.

00:54:22It's perfect.

00:54:23It's gonna be perfect.

00:54:32Hola.

00:54:33Hola.

00:54:34Ha bajado Anna Kelly?

00:54:35Si.

00:54:36De hecho, es que le han hablado de este nuevo carrito de empanadas que está ahí en Montjuic

00:54:39y ha ido a buscarlo.

00:54:40Montjuic?

00:54:41Si.

00:54:42Mmm, que delicioso.

00:54:43Are you kidding me?

00:54:44I thought we were meeting at 10 o'clock.

00:54:46I was taking a snack break.

00:54:47Okay.

00:54:48Okay, that's fine.

00:54:49We just need to get back so I can work on what you did yesterday.

00:54:52Anna, you did do work yesterday, didn't you?

00:54:54Because you said you were going to work all day yesterday.

00:54:55Anna.

00:54:56Unbelievable.

00:54:57Oh, I can't believe it.

00:54:58She's not even working on it.

00:54:59Who is not working on what?

00:55:00Anna.

00:55:01El Cuento?

00:55:02I mean, I promised the publisher that I would help her with her.

00:55:03That's fine.

00:55:04That's fine.

00:55:05We just need to get back so I can work on what you did yesterday.

00:55:07Anna, you did do work yesterday, didn't you?

00:55:09Oh, I can't believe it.

00:55:10She's not even working on it.

00:55:11Who is not working on what?

00:55:12Anna.

00:55:13El Cuento?

00:55:14I mean, I promised the publisher that I would help them get it across the finish line,

00:55:16but she has to do her part.

00:55:17Otherwise, it's going to ruin all our reputations.

00:55:18Are you worried about the publisher or Nico?

00:55:19Well, it's important to him, too.

00:55:20I wonder what would happen if he actually knew how much you helped him.

00:55:23It doesn't matter.

00:55:24He knows that I'm a good friend.

00:55:25But not how you're working on it.

00:55:26I can't believe it.

00:55:27She's not even working on it.

00:55:28Who is not working on it?

00:55:29Who is not working on what?

00:55:30Anna.

00:55:31El Cuento?

00:55:32I mean, I promised the publisher that I would help them get it across the finish line,

00:55:33I wonder what would happen if he actually knew how much you helped him.

00:55:36It doesn't matter.

00:55:37He knows that I'm a good friend.

00:55:38But not how you really feel.

00:55:40What are you waiting for?

00:55:41Why can't you just tell him?

00:55:42Because I don't want to risk our friendship.

00:55:44And, para mi, Corazon, it's safer just to let it go.

00:55:49Honey, a ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are built for.

00:55:53Hm.

00:55:54What, you get that off a fortune cookie?

00:56:01Hola.

00:56:02Hey, Rubia.

00:56:03What are you doing?

00:56:04Selling books in English now?

00:56:06I have to say it was my idea.

00:56:08Hm?

00:56:09For the tourists.

00:56:10Good idea.

00:56:12And look.

00:56:14Barcelona.

00:56:15My love.

00:56:16The English version.

00:56:18Maybe I should read it.

00:56:19You don't have to do that.

00:56:21I mean, you've already read it.

00:56:22Sometimes things get lost in translation.

00:56:26Do you have a minute to talk?

00:56:27Of course.

00:56:28But we are going to watch the Barca game at the pub, right?

00:56:32Right.

00:56:33Maybe I should text Ana and see if she wants to join us.

00:56:37She must be very busy writing the guento.

00:56:40Of course.

00:56:41Of course she is.

00:56:42Besides, I always thought that watching Fulbright together was our thing.

00:56:49Yeah.

00:56:50Right.

00:56:51Good idea.

00:56:52Go!

00:56:53Go!

00:56:54Go!

00:56:55Go!

00:56:56Go!

00:56:57Go!

00:56:58Go!

00:56:59Get整 Para, Lucas!

00:57:00Lucas, why is he there?

00:57:04Barcelona is all in the football.

00:57:06That's the game.

00:57:10Woo-hoo.

00:57:11I'm so glad we're still able to do this together, no matter what happens.

00:57:17What do you think will happen?

00:57:21Rubia, we'll always be friends.

00:57:24Of course, we'll always be friends, but a woman you end up with will probably not be too happy about that.

00:57:31And I'll be with the wrong woman.

00:57:41Hey, hey, have you ever just stopped and looked at one rose petal?

00:57:52You've always seen the world in a different way.

00:57:56It's one of the things that me encanta about you, Rubia.

00:57:59You should share it more, like Anna does.

00:58:04Yeah, right. She has a way with words, doesn't she?

00:58:07Yeah.

00:58:07Okay. So, do you think she has any plans to stay in Barcelona after San Jordi?

00:58:14I don't know. You should ask her yourself.

00:58:15I will, in San Jordi.

00:58:18Isn't that what the day is all about?

00:58:20Great gestures, taking a chance.

00:58:28I have to go.

00:58:30Are you okay?

00:58:31Yeah, fine.

00:58:33But, um, I have something I have to do.

00:58:38things that are not going for you.

00:58:41I will be back for you now.

00:58:43Call me.

00:58:45Call me.

00:58:50Call me.

00:59:15you know I just really want you to know that Nico really cares about you he does yeah and

00:59:25not just because what he thinks you wrote it's your passion it's that you wear your

00:59:30heart on your sleeve that you put yourself out there but you need to know he's really

00:59:37counting on this short story Erica I know that don't you know I know that I'm paralyzed

00:59:42by it I understand but I want to help you oh you don't get it I have to do this like for

00:59:50myself I need to prove to myself that I'm a good writer that my first book wasn't just

00:59:55a fluke I get it I do I have a lot to prove to you got this okay perfect oh do you like

01:00:16it yes great I never realized how much beauty and magic was right in front of me yeah well

01:00:32that happens sometimes you know you're so busy focusing on one thing that you can't see everything

01:00:37else like when you're looking at one rose petal you miss the whole flower here you go

01:00:49this looks incredible

01:00:57I thought you were at the hotel writing so did I oh yeah no I'm just taking a little break

01:01:18yeah oh this is beautiful it smells real it's real what yeah

01:01:26I think you really have more friends here but you don't have that I do oh nothing connects people

01:01:38more than food well you have a special way of writing about it I do don't I yeah do you like sports

01:01:49yeah do you like football yeah I like books yeah me too I just you got to admit there's not a lot of

01:01:58scoring in soccer well it's more than just the score is it yeah there's so much beauty in the moments

01:02:06between the goals yeah that's funny it reminds me of something that Erica said about that writer

01:02:11that the best moments in life are the little moments in between the big moments

01:02:14she did say that didn't she she's got a pretty good way with words too yeah

01:02:44he's amazing how was lunch it was good why is your voice high what do you mean it's getting

01:02:57higher what's wrong it wasn't great lunch was not great I wish you'd been there well I did you know

01:03:03I'm starting to feel like maybe I don't actually have feelings for Nico at all like maybe I'm just

01:03:09obsessed with the idea of a Barcelona whirlwind romance but that's not how that works is it

01:03:15well I wouldn't know I always go for the just friends thing and then once that's established

01:03:20even if I change my mind it's too late oh one of those

01:03:24have you written anything yeah I've been writing I mean I haven't been looking on the story but I've

01:03:30been writing then what have you been working on um it doesn't matter no it does matter it matters to

01:03:36Nico he's counting on you well romance or not I'd be happy to help you even if your name wasn't on

01:03:42it yes you're my friend Nico is my friend and we do it right we can all get what we want let's start

01:03:50now shall we yes let's do it let's get wine let's get wine hola I know I keep eating these weird Spanish

01:04:08wheat crackers cortezas but what I wouldn't give for a good old-fashioned American potato chip

01:04:14you know how I tell you things that I wouldn't normally tell people mm-hmm well I do have big

01:04:22secret what it's in the cupboard above the microwave is it a pony not as good as a pony let me see him

01:04:31this one no you've been holding out on me sweet you think they put the red guy 40 back in it

01:04:42why'd you separate out all the green m&ms you weirdo

01:04:46please tell me

01:04:48these are all red

01:04:51la boqueria is a feast it's pure chaos but that's why you're here it's not about the food it's about

01:04:58the hunt the noise the dance it's loud it's crowded borderline aggressive but that's its charm you fall

01:05:06in love the second you walk in oh my word this is amazing so have you thought about what kind of

01:05:16career you want to have for your protagonist mm-hmm I'm thinking like maybe something in interior design or

01:05:24like fashion hmm that's interesting I mean great totally great but just thinking out loud

01:05:30maybe she could be the owner of a local restaurant that way you can really tap into the food culture of the city and also you know a lot about that stuff you love those secret restaurants and everything yeah and it's like she thinks she's in love but actually she's in love with the city itself and just by being who she is

01:05:49she falls in love with herself I like it so do I okay here we go ready yeah
