NOELLE:
My entirelife I've dreamed of...
owning a puppy!
It's not much of
a dream, I know.
But somehow it's been
thwarted at every turn.
I asked for a puppy
every Christmas,
starting when I was five.
First, they gave me a goldfish.
When I was six,
they gave me a turtle.
When I was seven,
they got me a cockatiel.
Then my parents got divorced.
In college,
we weren't allowed pets.
And let's face it,
I had no time.
And do you know how hard it is
to find a pet-friendly
apartment in this city?
Until...
I moved in with Todd.
...who is allergic
to everything!
[sneeze]
NOELLE:
But other than that,he's perfect!
HELEN:
Honey, no man is perfect.Trust me.
NOELLE:
But he is!He's charismatic and funny,
he's got a great job--
Okay, so if he's so perfect,
wouldn't you be engaged by now?
Hey!
You know what?
Get a Cockapoo!
They're hypo-allergenic.
Does hypo-allergenic
really work?
We had one and Bob
was allergic to everything.
Plus, maybe it'll give
Todd the nudge he needs.
You wanna see his
"daddy potential"?
Give him something
small and cuddly.
Next thing you know he'll
be "putting a ring on it!"
[chuckles]
Well, Christmas is coming up...
that 'mistletoe proposal'?
Helen! We've gotten off track...
are there any other
insights you'd like to add,
on what makes a marriage last?
I don't know what
kept Bob and I together,
you know we could always
make each other laugh.
[chuckles]
You must miss him terribly.
Oh, I do.
But it's been two years and
trust me honey, I wore him out.
[chuckles]
Hey.
[indistint conversation]
Our "Adventure Columnist."
HELEN:
Oh, I could gofor an adventure.
NOELLE:
It's hardly journalism.He basically puts himself into
dumb situations and survives...
The village elder
gave me this box
and he said don't open it!
HELEN:
Is he single?NOELLE:
(scoffs) He has agirlfriend "supposedly",
but no one's ever seen her.
HELEN:
He's got that rugged,"salt of the earth" look.
NOELLE:
He's got that"I Need A Bath" look.
I can't wait to
get back to work.
Well yes, me either.
-Okay good!
-Alright!
Good luck with your research.
Nobody knows anything.
[sighs]
[splat]
I'm so sorry.
It'spureAmazonian mud.
[sniffs] Ah!
Great...
So, [nervous chuckle]
there Jessica and I were,
knee-deep in a muddy river bank,
and then we started getting
nipped at by piranhas...
So we leap outta the river
and right into this
giant spider web!
With a spider, I kid you not,
thisbig.
Huge!
But we make it to the trees...
and we start climbing.
Hand over hand, over hand,
until we get to the top.
And that's when we
see the sunrise,
right over the Amazon.
And I proposed!
[chuckles]
...What?!
[Liam chuckles]
FELICIA:
Noelle?A word?
You've been conducting
this research
The 'Secret to a
Lasting Marriage'.
Uh huh!
And what have you discovered?
Information...
Lots and lots of information.
This is not one of your quizzes.
This is a feature.
I'd hate to see an
opportunity wasted.
Todd...
We are celebrating!
Only the finest
champagne for tonight.
Celebrating?
I know it's only a few
Yes...?
This is bigger than Christmas.
Yes?
The last holdouts finally sold!
We're going to start
breaking ground next week!
Work was so thrilled,
they promoted me to,
wait for it,
[champagne pops open]
Managing Director!
[Todd chuckles]
[Noelle gasps]
