6. 0:12break. She's back again, madam.
7. 0:15>> Every day at noon, like a clock.
8. 0:18>> She never touches anything. She just
9. 0:19looks.
10. 0:20>> Looking is how it starts, Pippa.
11. 0:26Not today, little moth. That dress costs
12. 0:29more than you earn in a year, dear.
13. 0:32>> Same girl.
14. 0:33Same dress. Same time.
15. 0:36Every day?
16. 0:37Every day for 8 months.
17. 0:40Why that dress?
18. 0:41>> Ask her yourself, son. She's my best
19. 0:43waitress.
20. 0:46>> You remembered my decaf, Aurora.
21. 0:49>> Every Tuesday, Mr. Bell. And a cookie on

23. 0:52>> Close your mouth, son. Flies.
24. 0:56Lunch is over, princess.
25. 0:58>> I still have 4 minutes, Theo. [music]
26. 1:01Black, no sugar.
27. 1:02>> You remember.
28. 1:04>> You're the only customer who never
29. 1:06talks.
30. 1:07>> Maybe I'm a good listener. Can I ask
31. 1:09about the dress across the street?
32. 1:11>> Everyone asks. Nobody understands.
33. 1:14>> Try me.
34. 1:15>> Another day. Table 6 is waving at me.
35. 1:19>> 8 months.
36. 1:20>> That fellow's been here every day this
37. 1:22week.
38. 1:23>> Theo, he's a customer. He likes the
39. 1:25coffee.
40. 1:26>> Nobody likes my coffee that much, kid.
41. 1:29>> [laughter]
42. 1:33>> Why that dress? [music]
43. 1:35>> Your mother booked the engagement
44. 1:36dinner, Rhys.
45. 1:37>> I never agreed to an engagement.
46. 1:39>> [music]
47. 1:40>> Our families did. That's how it works,
48. 1:42darling.
49. 1:43>> Not for me.
50. 1:44>> [music]
51. 1:44>> I already chose my wedding dress.
52. 1:47>> You don't even have a groom.
53. 1:49>> The lace one. In the window across from
54. 1:52that little cafe.
55. 1:53>> Pick another dress, [music] Vanessa.
56. 1:55>> Why?
57. 1:56Did you fall in love with a mannequin?
58. 1:58I always get I want, Reese.
59. 2:01>> Not that dress.
60. 2:03Anything but that dress.
61. 2:04Mom, I'm not marrying Vanessa.
62. 2:07Cancel the dinner.
63. 2:10>> Margo?
64. 2:12Please keep the lace dress for me.
65. 2:14>> Is today another day?
66. 2:16>> You really want to know about the dress?
67. 2:17My mom used to draw dresses like that
68. 2:19one.
69. 2:20>> She was a designer?
70. 2:22>> She wanted to be.
71. 2:24Then she got sick.
72. 2:25>> I'm sorry, Aurora.
73. 2:26>> When I look at that dress, I feel like
74. 2:28she's close.
75. 2:29>> Then it's not just a dress.
76. 2:31>> Now you know my secret. What's yours?
77. 2:33[music]
78. 2:33>> I work in an office. Numbers.
79. 2:36>> That's not a secret. That's a nap.
80. 2:39Break's over. Same time tomorrow, Mr.
81. 2:41Numbers?
82. 2:42>> Same time tomorrow. Mr. Numbers, huh?
83. 2:45Don't tell her my name, Theo.
84. 2:47>> Which one? Reese or the one on the
85. 2:49buildings?
86. 2:50>> Either one, please.
87. 2:52>> Why do you really come here, Reese? You
88. 2:54own half this street.
89. 2:56>> Because here nobody wants anything from
90. 2:57me. My mother used to make me sit in
91. 2:59rooms like this. Quiet, [music] warm.
92. 3:01>> Then you're welcome here. Long as you
93. 3:03tip. How is the dress today?
94. 3:06>> Still there.
95. 3:07Still beautiful.
96. 3:09>> Your mother would have loved it.
97. 3:11>> Dad, sometimes I think she did.
98. 3:13$3,200.
99. 3:15>> For a dress you'll never wear?
100. 3:17>> For a dream I'll never stop having.
101. 3:21800 more.
102. 3:22Then I just [music] ask.
103. 3:28What's this?
104. 3:31>> Not yet, sweetheart.
105. 3:33>> Dad, is it mom's?
106. 3:35>> One day I'll open it with you. Not
107. 3:37tonight.
108. 3:38>> Okay, not tonight.
109. 3:40>> She has your heart, Elena.
110. 3:43>> Morning mail, ma'am.
111. 3:45>> Leave it on the counter. Don't touch the
112. 3:47gowns.
113. 3:48>> You haven't [music] changed, Margo.
114. 3:49>> Do I know you?
115. 3:51>> No.
116. 3:52But you knew my wife.
117. 3:55>> Elena?
118. 3:57>> Elena, she found your window.
119. 4:03>> Goodnight, Mom.
120. 4:04>> You come here at night, too?
121. 4:06>> Mr. Numbers, are you following me?
122. 4:08>> My office is around the corner, I swear.
123. 4:11>> Liar.
124. 4:12But a nice one.
125. 4:14Do you think dreams can expire?
126. 4:16>> Not if someone keeps looking at them.
127. 4:18Can I walk you home?
128. 4:19>> Only halfway. My dad waits on the porch.
129. 4:23What do you really do, Mr. Numbers?
130. 4:25>> I buy old buildings and and make them
131. 4:27new.
132. 4:28>> Sounds lonely.
133. 4:30>> It was
134. 4:31until a waitress poured my coffee.
135. 4:33>> This is halfway.
136. 4:34>> Then good night, halfway.
137. 4:38What are you drawing?
138. 4:40>> Nothing. Just sleeves.
139. 4:45>> Aurora, this is beautiful.
140. 4:47>> It's a napkin.
141. 4:49>> Why are you pouring coffee instead of
142. 4:50designing?
143. 4:52>> Because rent doesn't take napkins. Hey,
144. 4:54that's mine.
145. 4:56>> Then you'll [music] have to come get it
146. 4:57back.
147. 4:58>> He stole your napkin?
148. 5:00>> He stole my sleeve, Theo.
149. 5:03>> [laughter]
150. 5:04>> You came.
151. 5:05>> You have my napkin. What is this?
152. 5:08>> Something better than napkins.
153. 5:11>> Lace. Nobody ever gave me pencils
154. 5:13before.
155. 5:14>> Then nobody was paying attention.
156. 5:20What will you call your first dress?
157. 5:22>> Elena.
158. 5:23After my mom.
159. 5:24Your turn. Who are you, really?
160. 5:27>> A man who forgot how to want things.
161. 5:30>> And now?
162. 5:31>> Now I want Thursday to come faster.
163. 5:34Vanilla? That's it? No sprinkles?
164. 5:37>> Simple things last longer.
165. 5:39>> Like lace?
166. 5:40>> Like lace. And like people who stay.
167. 5:45>> Really?
168. 5:46>> Now you're simple, too.
169. 5:47>> [laughter]
170. 5:52>> You're humming.
171. 5:53>> [music]
172. 5:54>> You never hum.
173. 5:55>> It's a nice day, Theo.
174. 5:56>> It's raining, kid.
175. 5:59>> It's still a nice day.
176. 6:00Theo, can I take extra shifts on
177. 6:02Sundays?
178. 6:03>> Still saving for that dress?
179. 6:05>> 800 more and I can ask the price.
180. 6:08>> Sundays are yours, kid. New sketchbook?
181. 6:10[music]
182. 6:11>> A friend gave it to me.
183. 6:13>> A friend with green eyes?
184. 6:15>> Dad.
185. 6:16>> I'm old, not blind.
186. 6:18>> [laughter]
187. 6:19>> You draw sleeves just like your mother
188. 6:21did.
189. 6:22So, you're Mr. Numbers.
190. 6:24>> Rice, sir.
191. 6:25These are for the cook.
192. 6:27>> I'm the cook.
193. 6:28>> Then they're definitely for you.
194. 6:31>> [laughter]
195. 6:32>> What do you do, son?
196. 6:33>> I fix old buildings, sir.
197. 6:36>> Good. Mine has a leaking roof.
198. 6:38She's been standing at that window since
199. 6:40her mother died.
200. 6:41>> I know.
201. 6:42>> [music]
202. 6:42>> I've watched her for weeks. Then don't
203. 6:44you ever make her stand alone again.
204. 6:49>> One day I'll make one even better than
205. 6:50this.
206. 6:52>> I'll be the first in line.
207. 6:53>> Now you bring an audience?
208. 6:56>> She's admiring your work, ma'am. Isn't
209. 6:58that the point of a window?
210. 6:59>> The point of my window is to sell.
211. 7:05She's been like that for 8 months.
212. 7:07>> Then she's had 8 months to be kinder.
213. 7:10>> You're getting wet.
214. 7:11>> I'm fine.
215. 7:13The umbrella has priorities.
216. 7:15>> Nobody ever held an umbrella for me.
217. 7:18>> Get used to it.
218. 7:20>> Or maybe I like the rain.
219. 7:24You don't have to help. [music]
220. 7:25>> I want to.
221. 7:26>> Why do you really come here every day?
222. 7:28>> At first, for the coffee.
223. 7:30>> And now?
224. 7:31>> Now for the girl who looks at that
225. 7:33window
226. 7:33>> [music]
227. 7:33>> like it's a prayer.
228. 7:35You did all these in 2 weeks?
229. 7:37>> I couldn't stop.
230. 7:38It's like she's guiding my hand.
231. 7:40>> These belong in a real shop window.
232. 7:43>> Dreams don't pay rent, Reese.
233. 7:48>> [music]
234. 7:51>> Today I just ask the price.
235. 7:56>> The cafe is across the street, dear.
236. 7:58>> [music]
237. 7:58>> I'd like to know the price of the window
238. 8:00dress.
239. 8:01>> And what's in the jar?
240. 8:03>> $4,000.
241. 8:058 months [music] of tips.
242. 8:06>> 4,000? Sweetheart, that buys the veil.
243. 8:11That dress is 40,000 and it's not for
244. 8:13girls who carry jars.
245. 8:15>> Then I'll keep saving.
246. 8:19I'd like the lace dress from your
247. 8:20window, please.
248. 8:22>> Miss Sterling, that piece isn't for
249. 8:24sale.
250. 8:25>> [music]
251. 8:25>> It's my signature design.
252. 8:27>> Everything is for sale. My father taught
253. 8:29me that.
254. 8:30>> For a Sterling bride, perhaps.
255. 8:32>> I'm marrying Rice Calloway. [music] I
256. 8:34want the whole city to see it.
257. 8:36>> Then the whole city will.
258. 8:38>> No, not that one.
259. 8:41>> Are you lost?
260. 8:42The bus stop is that way.
261. 8:44>> I was just looking.
262. 8:45>> Looking is free.
263. 8:47>> Barely.
264. 8:48It's a beautiful dress.
265. 8:50>> She's here every single day, Miss
266. 8:51Sterling.
267. 8:53>> How sad. Like a moth at a lamp. [music]
268. 8:55>> When I'm Mrs. Calloway, I'll have this
269. 8:57window changed every week.
270. 9:00Calloway.
271. 9:03Tighter.
272. 9:04I want to look perfect in the photos.
273. 9:06>> You will, Miss Sterling. The final
274. 9:08fitting is next Saturday.
275. 9:10>> And the window stays empty until then.
276. 9:12Let the city wonder.
277. 9:14>> I'm sorry. I always thought it should
278. 9:15have been yours.
279. 9:17>> Thank you. That helps a little.
280. 9:19>> Margo says she designed it.
281. 9:21>> I've never seen her draw a single line.
282. 9:24It's gone, Mom.
283. 9:27>> Kid?
284. 9:28What happened?
285. 9:29>> Somebody bought it, Theo. My dress.
286. 9:32>> It was never really for sale,
287. 9:33sweetheart.
288. 9:35>> Everything is.
289. 9:36For the right people.
290. 9:37>> Margo, that girl saved every [music]
291. 9:39penny for 8 months.
292. 9:41>> And the coffee man tells me how to run
293. 9:42my shop now?
294. 9:43>> No. I'm telling you you'll regret it.
295. 9:46>> [music]
296. 9:46>> I never regret a sale.
297. 9:50>> Aurora, what's wrong?
298. 9:51>> The dress is gone. [music]
299. 9:52Some rich bride bought it.
300. 9:54>> Which bride?
301. 9:55>> Blonde, proud, marrying someone called
302. 9:58Calloway.
303. 10:00>> Vanessa. [music]
304. 10:02You bought the window dress.
305. 10:04>> I told you.
306. 10:06I always get what I want.
307. 10:08>> Give it back.
308. 10:09>> For whom?
309. 10:10A waitress? Your driver talks, Reese.
310. 10:13Every day at that cafe.
311. 10:15>> Leave her out of this.
312. 10:16>> Then let's see how she likes the truth
313. 10:18about Mr. Numbers.
314. 10:20One coffee and I'm waiting for my
315. 10:22fiance. Of course, ma'am.
316. 10:25You're the bride. The lace dress. And
317. 10:28you're the girl at the window.
318. 10:30Reese, darling. Right on time.
319. 10:34You know him?
320. 10:36Know him? I'm marrying [music] him.
321. 10:39Reese Calloway. Calloway.
322. 10:41The Calloway?
323. 10:42>> Aurora, it's not what she
324. 10:44>> You watched me stare at that that dress
325. 10:46for weeks and she's going to wear it.
326. 10:49Was I a show? Something to watch with
327. 10:51your coffee?
328. 10:52>> No.
329. 10:53You were the only real thing in my day.
330. 10:55>> I need some air, Theo.
331. 11:00>> Son, you'd better fix this.
332. 11:02>> I will, Theo.
333. 11:04We're not getting married, Vanessa.
334. 11:06>> [music]
335. 11:06>> Not now. Not ever.
336. 11:07>> My father will ruin you.
337. 11:09>> Let him try.
338. 11:10>> And the dress? It's mine. Saturday,
339. 11:12[music]
340. 11:13I wear it.
341. 11:14Mr. Numbers.
342. 11:18>> I should have told you who I was.
343. 11:19>> Why didn't you?
344. 11:21>> Because for once, someone liked me
345. 11:23before they knew my name.
346. 11:25>> I liked Mr. [music] Numbers.
347. 11:27Are you engaged to her?
348. 11:28>> My family arranged it. I said no. Today,
349. 11:31I said it to her face.
350. 11:32>> She still has my dress.
351. 11:36>> Not for long.
352. 11:38>> I need to think. Good night, Reese.
353. 11:46>> He came here and washed my dishes,
354. 11:47Aurora.
355. 11:48>> He still lied about his name.
356. 11:50>> Your mother didn't tell me she could
357. 11:52draw for a year.
358. 11:53>> Why not?
359. 11:55>> She was afraid I'd love the drawings
360. 11:56more than her.
361. 11:58People hide the things they're scared to
362. 11:59lose.
363. 12:02I'll bring it back. I promise.
364. 12:05You love her?
365. 12:06I didn't know it until she walked out
366. 12:08that door.
367. 12:09>> Then stop being Mr. Numbers. Be the man
368. 12:12with the name.
369. 12:13>> You take table one today, Theo.
370. 12:16>> He ordered black, no sugar, and an
371. 12:17apology. Kid, he sat there for 3 hours.
372. 12:21>> Then he can sit there for three more.
373. 12:24>> The dress is gone?
374. 12:26>> Gone.
375. 12:27And the man I liked lied to me.
376. 12:32>> Then it's time, sweetheart.
377. 12:35>> These are mom's [music] drawings?
378. 12:38>> Every one of them.
379. 12:43>> Dad, [music] that's the window dress.
380. 12:45>> Your mother drew it 25 years ago. She
381. 12:48and Margo opened that shop together.
382. 12:50>> Margo?
383. 12:51The woman who chases me away?
384. 12:53>> When your mom got sick, Margo took the
385. 12:55sketches and put her own name on them.
386. 12:56>> And you never said anything?
387. 12:58>> I was a mailman with a sick wife and a
388. 13:00little girl. Who'd believe me?
389. 13:03>> I believe you.
390. 13:05>> Some dreams aren't for sale, sweetheart.
391. 13:06[music]
392. 13:07They're just waiting for their owner.
393. 13:10>> Every day [music] I stood at that
394. 13:12window.
395. 13:13>> You were visiting your mother.
396. 13:15It's late, kid. What's that?
397. 13:17>> Proof, Theo. My mom made that dress.
398. 13:20>> Then you need someone with power to
399. 13:22stand next to you.
400. 13:23>> I know who.
401. 13:25I'm just scared to call him.
402. 13:26>> Theo called me.
403. 13:28He said you needed me.
404. 13:29>> Theo talks too much. My mother drew it.
405. 13:33Margo stole it.
406. 13:34>> Then it was never Margo Margo's to sell.
407. 13:37I'm sorry I was Mr. Numbers.
408. 13:40>> I'm sorry I only liked Mr. Numbers.
409. 13:42>> Will you trust me one more time?
410. 13:44>> One more time, Reese Callaway.
411. 13:47It looks so empty without her.
412. 13:49>> Not for long. Saturday, she comes home.
413. 13:55Saturday, the final fitting. [music]
414. 13:57Bring your father and that book.
415. 13:59>> What are you going to do?
416. 14:00>> Bring your mother's dress home.
417. 14:05>> Are you here to buy my daughter
418. 14:06something, Mr. Callaway?
419. 14:08>> No, sir. I'm here to give something
420. 14:10back.
