Emma: Okay last night didn't go as spectacularly as I was hoping for.
Emma: All right it was an unmitigated disaster.
Emma: Oh god...
Emma: Yeah. No, that's right.
Emma: Drink it in. Real funny, huh? Yeah.
Emma: You know, why don't you come a little closer? I'll throw you over the edge.
Alex: What's up?
Emma: God, I just - I don't know what I was thinking.
Emma: I knew there was underlying tensions between Harriet and BMart, but...
Emma: Why did I let Mr. Collins ply everyone with alcohol? That was so stupid.
Emma: Emma Woodhouse has once again ruined her best friends' lives.
Alex: You are not responsible for Harriet and BMart's breakup.
Emma: Oh but I am.
Alex: How?
Alex: No, explain it to me.
Alex: How are you responsible for the breakup of two adult individuals
Alex: who can make their own informed decisions?
Emma: Because I encouraged BMart to have that marriage to talk with Harriet.
Alex: What? Emma: Yeah.
Emma: I thought she'd be ecstatic. I mean I didn't -
Emma: I don't even know my best friend. I didn't even ask her to see how she feels.
Alex: Look - it's definitely not your fault then.
Alex: BMart would have had that conversation with her whether you told him to or not.
Alex: So then they would have figured out that they're on different pages in their relationship.
Alex: So really you were just being a good friend to BMart.
Emma: But what about Harriet?
Alex: You should be proud of her?
Alex: I mean, Harriet's strong.
Alex: Okay, it's not so long ago that she could have been easily swayed to fall in love with just about anyone.
Alex: And look at her now:
Alex: She's thinking of her own life and making decisions for herself.
Alex: I dunno, she probably wouldn't be doing that if you weren't her friend.
Emma: I am really proud of Harriet.
Alex: Good.
Alex: Wow, Emma's really concerned about Harriet.
Alex: I mean, I get why but she's a professional.
Alex: We all are.
Alex: And there's a lot going on.
Alex: Yeah, I care about them too, but this is still a business.
Alex: We have board members and several hundred shareholders supporting us.
Alex: BMart?
Alex: He's doing fine?
Alex: Yeah, I mean, I guess I could have asked how he was doing.
Alex: I probably should have taken him out for a drink or something.
Alex: I could have.
Alex: I would have.
Alex: I should have.
Alex: Nah, he'll be fine.
Emma: So.
Emma: Mr. Collins calling is decidedly not a sommelier.
Emma: I don't blame him for what happened last night.
Emma: A sommelier's job is to pour wine for people and he did that...
Emma: very enthusiastically,
Emma: but...
Emma: Yeah, I messed up.
Emma: I think I made this more about me than him and...
Emma: well...
Emma: Yeah, you'd think you'd learn from your mistakes, but...
Emma: I've done this before.
Emma: Again. Recently.
Emma: And not just to Mr. Collins.
[Knocking]
Emma: Come in.
Alex: Hey.
Alex: I've been doing some thinking. Emma: Me too.
Emma: Emma and Alex: just a couple of thinkers.
Alex: I know you're going through some tough times, but
Alex: I do hope you know that if there's anybody who could help. Mr. Collins, it's you.
Alex: Emma Woodhouse.
Emma: I love that you still believe in me,
Emma: even when I've had an epic fail.
Alex: It's my job.
Emma: Oh you take it so seriously.
Alex: Well, we all need somebody to be the voice of reason.
Alex: To guide us through these tough times.
Emma: Yes...
Alex: Good?
Emma: Oh!! That's it, Mr. Knightley!
Alex: What's it?
Emma: Yes, okay, good, um wait
Yes - yes - good - great - yes - yes!!
Alex: What just happened?
Alex: Emma - Emma: Shh!!
Emma: Mr. Collins, I never thought I would say this but I need to have a long talk with you right away.
Emma: Right away!
Alex: Okay.
