Short filmTranscript
00:04Dolores, I need you here, now, and we're discussing another raise.
00:10Babe, why are you in a rush?
00:13I told you yesterday, I don't do the morning after.
00:17But you don't really mean that.
00:21Please leave. Shower if you need to.
00:23Grab a change of clothes, but I need you to go.
00:27Fine.
00:29I should have listened.
00:32Listen to what?
00:34The woman in the bathroom, and who told me you'd sleep with me and break my heart.
00:38How could I have possibly broken your heart?
00:40I met you last night.
00:46Dad's waiting. He's always waiting.
00:49For me to fail.
00:53Disappointed, but not surprised.
00:55I built a billion-dollar company from nothing.
00:58Named it after mom.
01:00Still not enough.
01:02It's never enough.
01:04Today I convince him.
01:23Emble Steakhouse, and step on it.
01:31No. No, no, no, no!
01:34The one day, the own day, the owner does a check-in!
01:39Meow!
01:43If I get fired, we're both eating ramen for a month.
01:46Meow!
02:00You're late.
02:01I know.
02:02I'm so sorry.
02:04My alarm...
02:05Cleaning duty.
02:05No tables today.
02:07But that means no tips!
02:09Should have thought about that before showing up 40 minutes late on inspection day.
02:18Congratulations.
02:19You're not pregnant.
02:22What?
02:25God!
02:33You have got to be kidding me!
02:35Sorry, Luna.
02:36They told us at the beginning of the shift.
02:38Customer bathrooms only today.
02:40Plumber comes at noon.
02:41Need a tampon?
02:44Black cat.
02:46Broken mirror.
02:47Chain mail.
02:47Something cursed me.
02:48Something definitely cursed me.
02:59Hello?
03:02Yes?
03:04Do you, um, have a tampon?
03:07If you don't, there's a dispenser nearby.
03:10One second.
03:16Is everything okay?
03:18I got this.
03:19I swear.
03:20Just give me a second.
03:22I'm so sorry.
03:23Oh my god.
03:24Don't be sorry.
03:26This day couldn't possibly get any worse.
03:28My alarm didn't go off.
03:30I got my period early.
03:32This co-worker who hates me announced it to everyone.
03:36The employee bathrooms are broken.
03:38And our uniforms are white.
03:40Like, who dresses waiters in white?
03:44I'm not superstitious, but this bad luck is...
03:47Today's been pretty shitty for me, too.
03:50Don't apologize.
03:51I get it.
03:54Hold on.
03:58Sorry, you're gonna have to open up.
04:00I can't slide it under.
04:07Thank you so much.
04:09And I'd appreciate your discretion.
04:11Of course.
04:12I understand.
04:14What's your name?
04:16Luna.
04:17Luna Reyes.
04:18And yours?
04:19Vivian Ashforth.
04:21Um, nice to meet you.
04:23Nice to meet you, too.
04:24What just happened?
04:32I can do it.
04:34You'll find someone to marry.
04:35You'll become religious.
04:37You will maintain a respectable public image.
04:40I'll be a born-again Christian if that's what it takes.
04:44You know what your timeline is, Vivian.
04:47Convince me before then, and the company will be yours.
04:51I promise, Dad.
04:52I'll be married by the end of the month.
04:56Derek Lawson has already presented his five-year plan to the board.
04:59Impressive numbers.
05:00Derek Lawson is a parasite who attached himself to our family name.
05:05He's practical, obedient, traditional.
05:08He's not your blood.
05:10Neither is stubbornness a qualification for CEO.
05:13Five months, Vivian.
05:14That's what the doctors gave me.
05:16If you haven't proven yourself by then, the board votes.
05:20And they will choose Derek.
05:21I won't let that happen.
05:22A wife, a church, a spotless reputation.
05:27That's the minimum.
05:29You'll have it.
05:33We'll see.
05:37A wife.
05:39Where the hell am I going to find a wife?
05:46Table 12.
05:47The Elizabeth booth.
05:48VIP.
05:49Do not mess this up.
05:59The woman from the bathroom.
06:01Oh, God.
06:03Hello?
06:03Um, hi.
06:04I'm Luna.
06:05Luna Reyes.
06:06I'll be your waitress today.
06:07What are your drinks of preference?
06:08I am Richard Ashford.
06:09This is my daughter, Vivian.
06:10I would like a water, two cubes of ice.
06:12She would like a Shirley Temple.
06:14No ice.
06:15No ice.
06:19No ice.
06:20That's all.
06:27Get out!
06:28You're done!
06:35If I'm not convinced before the five months are up, Vivian...
06:39A wife and a wholesome reputation.
06:41I know.
06:42I'll do it.
06:49Wait.
06:50What did you hear?
06:53Nothing.
06:59You!
07:00I want you fired!
07:02Hi.
07:03Are you guys hiring?
07:11Does that say Luna Reyes?
07:13Yes.
07:15We're not hiring.
07:17But you just...
07:18We're not hiring.
07:19Please leave this fine establishment.
07:21Since when has Applebee's ever been considered a fine establishment?
07:3224 rejections.
07:3324.
07:34He didn't just get me fired.
07:35He got me blacklisted.
07:36Every chain in the city knows my name.
07:38If I can't work, I can't pay rent.
07:40If I can't pay rent, I'd have to leave New York.
07:43This city is the only thing I have left.
07:45It was there when no one else was.
07:48There has to be another way.
07:51Corin Industries.
07:52Billion-dollar enterprise Ashfield Empire heir needs to marry to inherit?
07:56She needs a wife.
07:57I need money.
07:58This is either the smartest or the stupidest thing I've ever done.
08:01You're a very beautiful woman.
08:02What's your ethnicity?
08:03Wait, let me guess.
08:05Egyptian.
08:06Right.
08:07And I see no wedding ring.
08:09Are you single?
08:10Tell me more about Corin Industries.
08:12The CEO's office.
08:14Would that be on the top floor?
08:15Yes, the hundredth floor.
08:17But are you busy Friday evening?
08:18It's just with Aunt Eleanor gone and my period this week.
08:24Do you need to use the bathroom?
08:25Oh, I wouldn't want to waste our time.
08:27Please, down the hall next to the fire escape.
08:31She's seven.
08:33She needs Alif.
08:34I need money.
08:37I need money.
08:44Stay where you are.
08:45I can explain, I swear.
08:47Luna Reyes.
08:58Vivian.
09:04I know her.
09:09What are you?
09:10I wanted Tamir.
09:11Come here.
09:13Your security is really good.
09:15I was here for barely any time.
09:17Thermal detector.
09:18Your heat signature triggered the alarm.
09:20Lots of people want to kill you, I guess.
09:22Only a couple murder attempts a year.
09:24Tough life.
09:25Being a billionaire.
09:26What are you doing here?
09:29Here.
09:33You want to get married?
09:35That was the entire point of the contract, yes.
09:37And you don't mind pretending to be in love?
09:39In front of my father, my family, everyone?
09:41Not if you don't.
09:42And when there's no more use for the marriage?
09:43No moral quills with divorce?
09:45I'm hardly religious, I don't mind.
09:47It's a good business deal.
09:48Do you have a pen?
09:49A pen?
09:50To sign?
09:50I didn't actually think that far.
09:54Should I prick my finger and write my name in blood?
09:59I'm going to remember something you said.
10:02What?
10:02I'd rather sleep with anyone else in the world first.
10:06I'm not taking it back.
10:09I don't want you to.
10:11I want you to regret it.
10:13We have a wedding to plan.
10:18Let me get this straight.
10:19A waitress who you met once broke into your building, climbed 30 flights of stairs, and
10:23proposed a fake marriage?
10:24And you said yes?
10:25It's a business arrangement.
10:26Do you have a list of vetted candidates?
10:27Models?
10:28Celebrities?
10:28Hedge fund daughters?
10:29I canceled the interviews.
10:30For a waitress?
10:31She had a thorough contract.
10:33Is she pretty?
10:35That's irrelevant.
10:37So, she's gorgeous.
10:41What do you actually know about her?
10:43She's resourceful, brave, stubborn.
10:47She treated me like a person, not a bank account.
10:50You like her?
10:51It's business.
10:52Viv, I've known you since we were 15.
10:55You've never talked about anyone like this.
10:57I need air.
11:02Luna.
11:06Are you okay?
11:07Fine.
11:08Are you okay?
11:08I'm sorry about earlier.
11:09I don't do well with surprises.
11:11If you want to end the contract...
11:12No.
11:13I still want to marry you.
11:14Professionally.
11:15I swear I won't throw a drink in your face next time.
11:17Good.
11:17I mean good.
11:18For the macaroon.
11:19To repay you.
11:21A thousand dollars?
11:22For a pink macaroon?
11:24It's...
11:24I won't take your charity.
11:26Come on.
11:26We have an agreed amount.
11:28Fair is fair.
11:29This isn't an exchange.
11:30This is you feeling sorry for me.
11:32I don't feel sorry for you.
11:33I don't like owing people.
11:35You don't owe me anything for a macaron.
11:38That's a second degree burn.
11:39I don't care.
11:40Take the check.
11:41No.
11:42No.
11:56We need to discuss living arrangements.
11:59I'm being evicted anyway, so...
12:01Fine.
12:02I'll send a car.
12:03Ikanta kete suboe.
12:04With a cat and six boxes.
12:10Send the car.
12:22Don't get used to this.
12:24Your room is the second on the left.
12:26It has its own bathroom.
12:28If you want to change anything.
12:30My own room?
12:31Obviously.
12:33This is a business arrangement.
12:36Right.
12:37Obviously.
12:40Cleopatra, no!
12:45She has good taste.
12:47She has terrible taste.
12:49She eats shoelaces.
12:53Hello, Cleopatra.
12:55She doesn't usually like strangers.
12:57I'm not a stranger.
12:59I'm her other mom now.
13:02Don't, don't, don't say it like that.
13:06Wedding planning starts tomorrow.
13:08Get some rest.
13:12Traitor.
13:14Bennett.
13:16Clear my afternoon.
13:17I have a personal errand.
13:20We need rings.
13:22Can't you just...
13:23Order them online?
13:24My father would notice a cheap ring from across the room.
13:27We're going to Tiffany's.
13:29Tiffany's!
13:30Everyone's looking at us.
13:33They're looking at you.
13:35What?
13:35No, they're definitely looking at the woman in a 3,000 suit.
13:3812,000.
13:40What?
13:40The suit was 12,000.
13:42I hate you.
13:47For the happy couple, congratulations.
13:51Something simple.
13:52Elegant.
13:53Not ostentatious.
13:57This one's nice.
14:00It suits you.
14:03That one is $42,000.
14:05Absolutely not!
14:06We'll take two.
14:07Vivian, it's part of the act.
14:09Let me do this.
14:11Fine.
14:12But I'm giving it back after.
14:13We'll see.
14:16We need a backstory.
14:18How we met.
14:19How long we've been dating.
14:20First date.
14:21All of it.
14:22Can't we just say we met at the restaurant?
14:24My father had you fired from that restaurant.
14:26He'd never believe I started dating the woman who dumped fondue on him.
14:29Fair point.
14:30So, where did we meet?
14:32The Firefleet Cafe.
14:33It's a queer cafe I've gone to since I was a teenager.
14:35Believable setting.
14:36Okay.
14:36And our first date?
14:37Central Park.
14:38Picnic.
14:39Sunset.
14:39I researched common first dates.
14:41You researched romance?
14:43I research everything.
14:45Okay.
14:46What about physical stuff?
14:48What about it?
14:48If we're married, people expect us to be comfortable with each other.
14:51Touching.
14:52Holding hands.
14:53Maybe kissing.
14:54We should practice.
14:56Practice?
14:57Holding hands.
14:58So it looks natural.
15:03This is fine.
15:05Completely fine.
15:06What about the kiss?
15:08We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
15:11Good night, Luna.
15:14Good night.
15:19Do you, Vivian Ashfield, take Luna Reyes to be your lawfully wedded wife?
15:26I do.
15:27And do you, Luna Reyes, take Vivian Ashfield to be your lawfully wedded wife?
15:34I do.
15:36You may kiss the bride.
15:48Beautiful.
15:49Absolutely beautiful.
15:50I didn't prepare for this.
15:53That was adequate.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:57Adequate.
16:00Thank you for doing this.
16:03Thank you for letting me.
16:11So, this is the woman.
16:13Dad, this is Luna, my wife.
16:17It's nice to meet you, Mr. Ashford.
16:19Sit.
16:22How did you two meet?
16:23The Firefly Cafe.
16:25Eight months ago.
16:26And what do you do, Luna?
16:28I'm between positions right now.
16:30I was a waitress.
16:31A waitress?
16:32Dad.
16:33I didn't say anything.
16:34Where did you waitress?
16:36A few places around the city.
16:38Most recently, a steakhouse.
16:40You look familiar.
16:42I get that a lot.
16:44Tell me about your family.
16:46My mother was Egyptian.
16:48She passed when I was young.
16:50I was raised by my aunt in New York.
16:51And your father?
16:52Never knew him.
16:54No family money.
16:55That's enough.
16:56I'm making conversation with my daughter-in-law.
16:58You understand my concern?
16:59Women have tried to marry into this family before for obvious reasons.
17:02I married your daughter, Mr. Ashfield.
17:04I think.
17:12Congratulations on the wedding, Vivian.
17:14Quite sudden, wasn't it?
17:17When you know, you know.
17:19Of course.
17:19And your wife, Luna, is it?
17:21Charming girl.
17:22Waitress background, I hear.
17:23Is there a point to this, Derek?
17:24Just making conversation.
17:26The board has questions, naturally, about stability.
17:28About image.
17:28Your father's health is declining, and the shareholders want assurance that whoever takes the helm is settled.
17:33I'm married.
17:34I'd say that's settled.
17:36Married for three weeks to a woman nobody's heard of.
17:39Forgive me if the board needs more convincing.
17:42My proposal.
17:43A ten-year growth strategy, vetted by three independent firms.
17:48I'll review it.
17:50Take your time.
17:51We have, what did the doctor say?
17:52Five months?
17:58He makes a strong case, Vivian.

29:44you told me about your mother's rings
29:47you burned your hand on a stove
29:50because you were looking at me
29:52you're terrified
29:53i get it
29:55but don't you dare stand there
29:57and tell me this was just business
30:00i don't know how to do this
30:01neither do i
30:02but i want to try
30:04with you
30:13that wasn't adequate
30:15no
30:16it really wasn't
30:20a falsified marriage
30:22in exchange for a finonite sump
30:23your marriage is a fraud
30:25you paid a waitress
30:26to pretend to be your wife
30:32vivian is this true
30:33it started as an arrangement
30:35yes
30:35i won't deny that
30:37how convenient
30:38but it isn't one anymore
30:40i'm not finished
30:41that contract was signed weeks ago
30:42since then my wife has stood beside me
30:45in front of my father
30:46in front of this board
30:47in front of the entire city
30:48she held my hand in a hospital room
30:50while my father told me i was enough
30:51she made me dinner when i forgot to eat
30:53she made me sleep
30:54when i wouldn't stop working
30:55she is not a transaction
30:56you want to talk about fraud derrick
30:58let's talk about how you obtained
30:59a private legal document
31:01let's talk about the investigator
31:03you hired to surveil my wife
31:05let's talk about how you've spent
31:06the last two months
31:07undermining me
31:08instead of doing your actual job
31:10i love luna reyes
31:12that is not a business decision
31:13that is the truth
31:15and if this board can't see the difference
31:16between where something starts
31:18and where it ends
31:19then you don't deserve to lead anything
