Short filmTranscript
00:01Ryan, I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
00:08Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
00:12Out here all by yourself? I would have thought you're the sick one.
00:16I'd worry about myself if I was the bastard kid.
00:20We're really not that close, sweetheart.
00:23Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
00:27Do it!
00:30Your family owns like half of New York.
00:34I love Maddie, but for Iris, I am eventually not able to hate her.
00:40She is actually special.
00:43He's the one.
00:55I've made my decision.
00:56I'll marry the comatose colonel from the Archibald family.
01:02That's wonderful. You've finally come to your senses.
01:06The Archibalds have been pushing hard.
01:08They expect you to move into their Florida state within two weeks.
01:11Tell me, what kind of wedding dress do you want?
01:13I can have designers from Paris or Milan flown in.
01:16Since I'm taking your precious little love child's place,
01:20the least you can do is make it worth my while.
01:24Watch your mouth!
01:26She's your sister!
01:27Sister?
01:28My mother only had one daughter.
01:30She's not my sister.
01:32She's just proof you couldn't keep it in your pants.
01:37Cut that childish crap and just tell me, what do you want?
01:41I want...
01:4410 billion.
01:4610 billion?!
01:57You know, that would drain the entire family trust.
02:03One more thing.
02:05Once I'm married, have Ryan reassigned to babysit your precious love child.
02:09Ryan? The man you were ready to marry?
02:12I thought you'd take him with you to the Archibald estate.
02:15Just say yes or no, Dad.
02:17Two years ago, Liam Archibald was a rising star.
02:21The youngest colonel in history.
02:23I pulled every string to get Madison to agree to marry him.
02:27Thought I'd set her up for life.
02:28Then he gets himself blown up and ends up all comatose.
02:32Lucky for me, I've got another daughter.
02:35If you marry him instead, Madison gets another chance.
02:39Fine.
02:39You go through with the marriage and I'll make both things happen.
02:43Wait!
02:45I understand why you'd want the money.
02:48But you love Ryan.
02:51How can you just hand him over to Madison?
03:02I love you so much, Maddie.
03:05You asked why I could hand him over.
03:07Because he's just like you, Daddy.
03:09He only ever loved Madison.
03:15Ryan.
03:16I wish I'd never made you my bodyguard three years ago.
03:30Anyone else?
03:34Shirts off!
03:37Muscles mean nothing.
03:39I need someone who can actually fight.
03:48That's it.
03:49He's the one.
03:53Ryan.
03:54My heel broke.
03:55Can you carry me back to my room?
03:57I'll grab you a new pair.
04:05Ryan.
04:06It's storming out there.
04:07I'm scared.
04:09Can I stay with you tonight?
04:11You'll be fine.
04:13Ask one of the maids to stay with you.
04:19Ryan!
04:20Ryan!
04:20Help me!
04:27I fell for you before I even knew what love was.
04:30Maybe because after Mom's death, you were the only constant left.
04:35But three years passed, and despite my efforts, you never saw me as I saw you.
04:40I thought you simply didn't feel anything.
04:42Until that day before graduation.
04:48Dude.
04:49Your family owns like half of New York.
04:51You can have any girl you want.
04:53Just go for Madison.
04:55Why waste time playing bodyguard for the sister?
04:57You don't get it.
04:59Maddie's different.
05:00She's been the family secret her whole life.
05:03If I push too fast,
05:05she'll shut down.
05:07Okay, but seriously though.
05:09Nothing for the sister?
05:10I mean, the way she throws herself at you, bro.
05:13Oof.
05:15Please.
05:16Iris isn't even in the same universe as Maddie.
05:20Honestly, watching her try is just pathetic.
05:24We're graduating tomorrow.
05:25Still gonna keep playing her guard dog, huh?
05:27For Maddie,
05:29I'd do anything.
05:31That was the moment I decided,
05:32I'd never love you again.
05:47Miss Iris.
05:48What do you need?
05:50You never change.
05:51You worship everything about her.
05:54Even her damn picture.
05:55But the second you see me,
05:57you turn to stone.
05:58If it's not important,
05:59please leave.
06:01I'd like to get some sleep.
06:02There's this auction tomorrow night.
06:04I need you to come with me.
06:06I can't.
06:07I'm taking the night off.
06:10Madison will be there.
06:12Then I'll be there.
06:14Of course,
06:15the second her name comes up,
06:17every rule goes out the window.
06:19Don't worry, Ryan.
06:20I'll make sure you end up where you've always wanted to be.
06:23With Madison.
06:30Up front.
06:32What?
06:33The passenger seat.
06:35That's where the bodyguard belongs.
06:41That's strange.
06:43Usually she'd lose her mind if I didn't sit next to her.
06:55Sit next to me.
06:57Say no,
06:57and you're fired.
07:03From now on,
07:05you always sit next to me.
07:11It's just me,
07:12you,
07:14and the moonlight.
07:17Your name's still shining in my mind.
07:34Oh gosh,
07:35Iris.
07:36What are the odds?
07:39I didn't know you'd be here.
07:48Don't touch me.
07:51I was just trying to be nice.
07:55Ryan.
07:58Last time?
07:59That was so sweet of you.
08:01Going all the way to Brooklyn in the storm,
08:03just to get to get me those croissants?
08:04Gosh, I've been so sick.
08:06I didn't even get to thank you properly.
08:09Oh, it's nothing.
08:10It was on the way.
08:11On the way?
08:12You stood in line before sunrise,
08:14in the pouring rain,
08:16and came back soaked.
08:19At least let me buy you dinner.
08:20I insist.
08:21Whatever you want.
08:24We should invite Iris too.
08:26You don't look so good, Iris.
08:29Gosh.
08:30I would have thought you're the sick one.
08:32I'd worry about myself,
08:33if I was the bastard kid.
08:36We're really not that close, sweetheart.
08:40Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin.
08:44Hmm.
08:46Ryan, what's going on with her?
08:50Don't worry about it.
08:52Come on.
08:57Once I marry into the Archibalds, I'm on my own.
09:00Definitely can't count on Dad.
09:02I need to buy something that guarantees me a seat at the table.
09:13First item tonight.
09:14An 18th century sapphire crown by French master Lucien Marchand.
09:19Opening bid $500,000.
09:221 million.
09:231.5.
09:25Oh, Iris.
09:26That crown is so my vibe.
09:29Maybe let me have this one?
09:31I mean, your allowance doesn't exactly keep up with mine.
09:34Allowance?
09:36Richard couldn't be bothered to give me lunch money.
09:39If it weren't for Mom's trust fund, I'd be starving.
09:42But that was then.
09:43Now I've got 10 billion to my name.
09:462 million.
09:472 and a half.
09:493.
09:523 and a half.
09:54You sure you have enough to pay the bid?
09:57I'd hate to see you embarrass yourself.
09:595 million.
10:01Is she out of her mind?
10:04Funny.
10:06I'm starting to think you're the one who can't pay.
10:09Ma'am, would you like to continue?
10:13Of course.
10:13Just... just give me a sec.
10:16Call my dad.
10:17Tell him I need more funds.
10:20Now.
10:24You know I always get what I want.
10:28Daddy makes sure of it.
10:30Not this time.
10:31I've got every cent of Carter money locked under my account.
10:35Daddy's dry, bitch.
10:405 million once.
10:435 million twice.
10:495...
10:5010 million.
10:52To be clear, what I'm saying is...
10:54Whatever she bids, I'll add 10 million on top.
10:59Are you sure you wish to continue, miss?
11:08Allow me to introduce myself.
11:10I'm here on behalf of Mr. Vanderbilt.
11:13He's asked me to inform you that anything Miss Madison Carter has her sights set on tonight...
11:20He'll buy it.
11:21No limits.
11:23Mr. Vanderbilt.
11:25The Vanderbilt heir.
11:27I heard he's never married.
11:29Rumor is he's been crazy in love for years.
11:32You think Madison's the one?
11:37Could you tell me where Mr. Vanderbilt is?
11:39I'd love to thank him in person.
11:41Mr. Vanderbilt isn't available to appear tonight.
11:44When the time's right, he'll reach out himself.
11:47Well, dear sister, still planning to keep bidding?
11:51Oh, silly me.
11:53I forgot Mr. Vanderbilt is covering everything I want.
11:56You should probably stop now.
11:59Before you bid yourself into bankruptcy.
12:02Everyone knows the Vanderbilts are the richest family in the country.
12:07Next up, a rare canary yellow diamond.
12:11Add 10 million.
12:12Add 10 million.
12:13An 18th century oil painting.
12:16Add 10 million.
12:17A hand-carved mammoth fossil sculpture.
12:22Add 10 million.
12:24The eternal flame necklace.
12:28Opening bid at 200 million.
12:31That's enough.
12:32Tell me, does Mr. Vanderbilt plan on leaving anything for anyone else?
12:38Apologies, ma'am.
12:40Mr. Vanderbilt only asked that Miss Madison Carter enjoy herself tonight.
12:44Everything else isn't his concern.
12:51Ryan, you're fucking unbelievable!
13:08Take me to Shadow Arena.
13:10Yes, ma'am.
13:13Iris, going to Shadow Arena? Perfect.
13:16I'm bored out of my mind.
13:18Take me with you.
13:21No!
13:22Drive.
13:27Ryan, why do you think Mr. Vanderbilt's being so nice to me?
13:31We've never even met.
13:33Simple.
13:34He likes you.
13:35Don't tease me.
13:38I'm not.
13:39Men don't waste money on things they don't want.
13:42And you, you're hard not to want.
13:46Then...
13:47Do you want me?
13:49I am.
13:49If you two wanna eye fuck each other, take it outside.
13:53This is my car.
13:54Sorry.
13:55I'll be quiet.
13:58Of course.
14:00Men always fall for the girls who look like they need saving.
14:0410,000 on the fighter in gold!
14:07Place your bets!
14:09Last round!
14:10Who's taking it home?
14:12Black corner!
14:13Red corner! Red corner!
14:21Another.
14:25Maddie.
14:26I saw your hand too much.
14:30He's supposed to be my bodyguard, but can't take his eyes off her.
14:34Figures.
14:38Hey, gorgeous.
14:41How about a drink?
14:46Don't be shy, sweetheart.
14:48We just wanna have a little fun.
14:52Ryan!
14:55Ryan!
14:58What?
15:00What?
15:10Get the fuck out here!
15:18Let's go!
15:24Ryan...
15:26Hmm...
15:29Didn't realize you'd switch jobs.
15:32From my bodyguard to Madison's.
15:36Sorry, I...
15:38Didn't see.
15:40Didn't see...
15:43Or...
15:43Didn't want to.
15:47You've had too much to drink, Miss Iris.
15:56What are you two whispering about?
15:58What are you two whispering about?
16:00Yeah!
16:02Yeah!

20:38Who... who would do this to me?
20:45She's been in there two hours, sir.
20:49At this temp, she won't last much longer.
20:53Get her to a hospital.
20:55Ryan. It was Ryan.
20:58He almost freezes me to death in here. Just because I spilled a little water on his precious Madison?
21:10You see the guy in the room across the hall? Movie star looks.
21:14Won't leave his girlfriend's side.
21:16Yeah, over a cold too.
21:18Some guys are just built different.
21:20Meanwhile, this poor girl just got out of the ICU. Not a single visitor.
21:38I swore I was done with him. So why does it still hurt like hell?
21:52No more crying, Iris. No one's coming for you. You have to save yourself.
22:01Mommy! Mommy!
22:05Iris! Ryan! You made it! Come on, we're about to cut the cake!
22:15Mads, this party's like a billionaire safari, and everyone is hunting you.
22:22But aren't you, like, engaged to that Archibald heir down in Florida?
22:26That's totally over. I don't do long-term comas.
22:30Good call. The Archibalds might run Washington and Wall Street, but that heir is basically a houseplant.
22:35Marrying him is like skipping straight into widowhood.
22:39Exactly. Better pick someone from tonight's crowd. There are billionaires here who can actually blink.
22:44So Mads, what's your type?
22:47My type? Hmm. First, he has to be obsessed with me.
22:51I want a guy who'd carve my name into his chest just to prove it.
22:55And he has to swim the darkest parts of the Atlantic to find me the perfect pearl.
23:02And...
23:02Mr. Vanderbilt is here with his birthday gift for Miss Madison Carter.
23:12Happy birthday, Miss Iris.
23:32I want you to get her something nice. Make peace.
23:38I've got plans tomorrow.
23:40Drop the attitude. This might be the last birthday you spend with her. Once you marry in...
23:47What do you think, Ryan? Should I go?
23:50You should.
23:53Okay, then. Maddie's birthday it is.
24:02To Mom and Dad.
24:04Thank you for always being my biggest supporters.
24:08And to everyone here.
24:09Thanks for celebrating another trip around the sun with me.
24:13Cheers!
24:14Cheers!
24:16A beautiful girl. A year older. Somehow you just keep getting brighter.
24:23You'll always be our pride and joy, sweetheart.
24:32My baby girl is turning six. She deserves the biggest party in the city. Nothing less.
24:39You're the best, Daddy.
24:41And what about Mommy?
24:43Mommy's the best, too.
24:51When you asked me to marry you, you swore you'd never betray me.
24:55And now, on our daughter's birthday, you waltz in with your mistress and your bastard child?
25:01Ruth, I know you hate me.
25:03But please, don't take it out on my daughter. She's just a child.
25:08I'm filing for a divorce. I'm marrying Victoria.
25:16Mommy! Mommy!
25:27A pink diamond necklace, emerald drop earrings, and an original Andy Warhol.
25:35Oh, my God. That's authentic pink diamond. Worth tens of millions.
25:40And those emeralds. Definitely from one of the old Italian jewelry houses. Totally museum level.
25:47All this? From Mr. Vanderbilt? That's not gifting. That's a public love confession.
25:53Please, thank Mr. Vanderbilt for me.
25:57Mr. Vanderbilt said, you never need to thank him. Ever.
26:04Oh, my God. Such extravagant gifts. It's obvious he adores her.
26:11Exactly. Once the party's over, I'll take Madison to thank him in person.
26:16No need, Mr. Carter. We're practically family already.
26:23Family? Did he just say family? That sounds like an engagement to me.
26:27Madison is living every girl's dream. Everyone loves her.
26:31Poor Iris. She might as well be invisible.
26:34I'm not alone.
26:41I'm not alone.
26:43I'm not alone.
26:46I'm not alone.
26:48I'm not alone.
26:49I'm not alone.
26:49I'm not alone.
26:52Out here all by yourself?
26:54You look so lonely.
26:56What's wrong?
26:57Daddy's not around to watch your halo glow.
27:00Daddy already told me, you're actually marrying that human vegetable?
27:05How poetic.
27:06Your mom lost to mine, and now you're losing to me.
27:09Guess the loser genes runs in the family.
27:14Say that again.
27:15I said, your worthless mother deserved to die in childbirth.
27:24What are you doing?
27:28Iris, no, don't.
27:51You okay?
27:52Don't blame Iris.
27:53Iris, it's my fault.
27:59I shouldn't have upset her.
28:09Sweetheart, are you hurt?
28:14I'm fine.
28:15If hurting me makes Iris feel better, I don't mind it.
28:21Is this how I raised you?
28:22She's your sister, not your punching bag.
28:26God, what a heartless bitch.
28:28It's Madison's birthday, for Christ's sake.
28:30Jealousy really looks ugly on her.
28:34Funny thing is, I didn't push her.
28:37But since everyone already decided I did...
28:41No!
28:47I'll prove you right.
28:53I can't believe I raised something this vile.
29:06Iris!
29:08What?
29:10Gonna avenge your little princess again?
29:12What the hell does that mean?
29:14Does she know?
29:15No way.
29:16I covered my tracks.
29:19You already do it all, Iris.
29:21Why keep picking on Madison?
29:26Have it all?
29:30I have nothing!
29:35The day showed up!
29:37My mom went into obstructed labor!
29:40And died!
29:42Then, she took everything from me.
29:45My room, my jewelry, my father, my life!
29:50She used to light fires just to watch me scream, knowing how much I'm afraid of it!
29:58That's impossible.
30:00Madison's the one who's afraid of fire.
30:06Knowing how much I'm afraid of it!
30:08That's impossible.
30:10Madison's the one who's afraid of fire.
30:16Also, I heard Maddie's the one who's having a hard time in this house.
30:20Believe whatever you want.
30:25Miss Iris,
30:27I would like to take a few days off.
30:32Do whatever you want.
30:59I want a guy who'd tattoo my name in this house.
31:03To his chest.
31:12And the pearl.
31:15She wants the pearl from Atlantic reefs.
31:17I have to get it for her.
31:25Bleeding, half delirious,
31:27And already running off to make her dreams come true.
31:31You'd really die for her.
31:35Mom, I brought your favorite roses.
31:40And some good news.
31:43I'm getting married.
31:45To Colonel Archibald.
31:50Although he's comatose.
31:52At least he'll never cheat.
31:57And that bodyguard I told you about.
32:00I'm done with him.
32:02I'll leave for Florida tomorrow and hand him over to Madison.
32:06This time,
32:07I'm not looking back.
32:10You can rest easy, Mom.
32:12I learned your lesson.
32:14Love isn't worth dying for.
32:18From now on,
32:20I'm done breaking for anyone.
32:23I live for me.
32:48Miss Iris,
32:50I got into a car accident on the way here.
32:54I'll need a few more days off.
32:58Car accident?
33:00No.
33:01You actually dove into the reefs for Madison's stupid pearl and nearly killed yourself.
33:08Do whatever you want.
33:11Thank you for understanding.
33:18Ryan.
33:20After today,
33:22we'll never see each other again.
33:39Evening, sir.
33:40Which suite is Miss Iris in?
33:42Second floor.
33:43The VIP room is just down the hall.
33:45Thanks.
33:50To bad decisions and men who can't afford us.
33:57So,
33:58that white pearl,
33:59is it really that rare?
34:03Duh.
34:04It's from one of the deadliest reefs in the Atlantic.
34:07Even pro divers wouldn't go near it.
34:10And Ryan really risked his life to get it?
34:12That's insane.
34:17Didn't he tattoo your name on his chest right after the party?
34:20If he brings you that pearl too.
34:22He's basically your fiancée.
34:30Fiancée?
34:31Please,
34:32he's a friggin' bodyguard.
34:33A minion.
34:36Anyway,
34:38Vanderbilt's in my orbit now.
34:41He's the one who matters.
34:43Heir to the richest family in America.
34:46Ryan's just nice to look at.
34:48I might keep him around in case I'm bored.
34:51What if he finds out?
34:52What's a little minion gonna do?
34:55He's worships me.
34:56A few tears and he'll just crawl right back.
35:09Jesus,
35:10ever heard of knocking,
35:11you fucking idiot?
35:12Do you know who I am?
35:14I'm so sorry,
35:15Miss Madison.
35:16Truly.
35:17It's just,
35:17there's a gentleman over there asking for you.
35:19He said it was urgent.
35:21Sir,
35:22my mistake.
35:23It's this one.
35:24Seriously?
35:25These goddamn lowlifes have no manners.
35:28Ryan?
35:29Oh my gosh.
35:30When did you get here?
35:33I just got scared back there.
35:35It's fine.
35:37You can go.
35:38Yes, sir.
35:39Of course.
35:40Am I interrupting?
35:42Of course not.
35:49This is for you.
36:00Oh my God.
36:02The white pearl.
36:06Ryan.
