Short filmTranscript
00:04Dolores, I need you here, now, and we're discussing another raise.
00:09Babe, why are you in a rush?
00:13I told you yesterday, I don't do the morning after.
00:16But you don't really mean that.
00:21Please leave. Shower if you need to. Grab a change of clothes, but I need you to go.
00:27Fine. I 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? I met you last night.
00:46Dad's waiting. He's always waiting. For 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!
01:43If I get fired, we're both eating ramen for a month.
01:45Wow!
02:00You're late.
02:01I know.
02:02I'm so sorry. My alarm...
02:04Cleaning duty. No tables today.
02:07But that means no tips!
02:08Should have thought about that, before showing up 40 minutes late on inspection day.
02:18Congratulations. You're not pregnant.
02:33You have got to be kidding me.
02:35Sorry, Luna. They 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. Broken mirror. Chain mail.
02:47Something cursed me. Something 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. I swear.
03:20Just give me a second.
03:21I'm so sorry. Oh my god.
03:24Don't be sorry.
03:25This 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.
03:35The 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...
03:46Today's been pretty shitty for me, too.
03:49Don't apologize. I get it.
03:53Hold on.
03:57Sorry, you're gonna have to open up.
03:59I can't slide it under.
04:08So 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.
04:22Nice 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.
04:39I'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.
05:09Neither is stubbornness a qualification for CEO.
05:12Five 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.
05:24A church.
05:25A spotless reputation.
05:27That's the minimum.
05:28You'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.
06:02Hello?
06:03Um, hi.
06:04I'm Luna.
06:05Luna Reyes.
06:05I'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.
06:13No ice.
06:16Is that all?
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.
06:41I'll do it.
06:49Wait.
06:50What did you hear?
06:53Nothing.
06:59You!
07:00I want you fired!
07:02Hi.
07:02Are you guys hiring?
07:11Does that say Luna Reyes?
07:14Yes.
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.
07:47There 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.
08:08Are 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.
08:16But are you busy Friday evening?
08:18It's just...
08:20With Aunt Eleanor gone and my period this week.
08:23Do 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 a wife.
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, I 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, being 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?
09:48A pen?
09:49To 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.
10:26You have a list of vetted candidates.
10:27Models, celebrities, hedge 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?
10:42She's resourceful, brave, stubborn.
10:46She 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.
11:01Luna.
11:06Are you okay?
11:07Fine.
11:07Are you okay?
11:08I'm sorry about earlier.
11:09I don't do well with surprises.
11:10If you want to end the contract, no, I 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.
11:31I don't feel sorry for you.
11:33I don't like owing people.
11:35You don't owe me anything for a macaroon.
11:37That's a second degree burn.
11:39I don't care.
11:40Take the check.
11:41No.
11:56We need to discuss living arrangements.
11:59I'm being evicted anyway, so...
12:01Fine.
12:02I'll send a car.
12:03Ikanta get the Suboe.
12:04With a cat and six boxes.
12:09Send 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.
12:37Right.
12:37Obviously.
12:40Cleopatra, no!
12:45She has good taste.
12:47She has terrible taste.
12:49She eats shoelaces.
12:52Hello, Cleopatra.
12:54She 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.
13:19We need rings.
13:21Can'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.
13:39What?
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.
14:15We need a backstory.
14:17How 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 Firefly 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.
15:02This is fine.
15:04Completely 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.
15:47Beautiful.
15:49Absolutely beautiful.
15:50I didn't prepare for this.
15:53That was adequate.
15:56Yeah.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Adequate.
15:58Adequate.
16:00Thank you for doing this.
16:02Thank 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, eight 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.
16:49I 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.
16:57You understand my concern?
16:59Women have tried to marry into this family before for obvious reasons.
17:02I married your daughter, Mr. Ashfield.
17:04Not your bank account.
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.
17:21Waitress background, I hear.
17:23Is there a point to this, Derek?
17:24Just making conversation.
17:25The board has questions, naturally, about stability, about image.
17:28Your father's health is declining, and the shareholders want assurance that whoever takes the helm is settled.
17:32I'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.
17:47I'll review it.
17:50Take your time.
17:51We have, what did the doctor say?
17:52Five months?
17:54Five months.
17:55Five months.
17:58Five months.
17:58Five months.
17:59Five months.
17:59Five months.
18:00Five months.
18:00Five months.
18:01Five months.
18:02Meeting adjourned.
18:36You cooked.
18:38Don't sound so shocked.
18:39I worked in restaurants for eight years.
18:44You didn't have to.
18:46You look stressed in your text, even through a four-letter word somehow.
18:50Is it bad?
18:51This is the best thing I've ever eaten.
18:53You're being dramatic.
18:54I'm not.
18:55I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants on four continents.
18:57This is better.
18:58How was the meeting, really?
18:59Derek Lawence is positioning himself.
19:01The board is listening, my father is dying, and the vultures are circling.
19:05What do you need?
19:06I need the board to see me as stable, trustfully.
19:09Someone with roots.
19:10So we need to be more visible as a couple.
19:14A charity gala is coming up.
19:16Three weeks from now, every major player in New York will be there.
19:19You want me to go?
19:20I need you to go.
19:21And I need everyone there to believe we're in love.
19:28Then we'll make them believe it.
19:29Thank you, Luna.
19:31That's what vives are for.
19:34Professionally speaking.
19:44You look adequate.
19:48No, not adequate.
19:53May I?
20:09Vivian, introduce us to your wife.
20:12This is Luna, the love of my life.
20:15She's being modest.
20:17I'm actually the love of her life and the reason she eats vegetables now.
20:31Is this close enough?
20:33Almost.
20:39Find out everything about Luna Reyes.
20:42Everything.
20:51I think that went well.
20:53You were perfect.
20:55You sound surprised.
20:56I'm not.
20:57I just...
20:57You made it easy.
20:59To pretend.
21:02That's the job, right?
21:04Right.
21:09Vivian, yes.
21:11At the gala when we were dancing.
21:14Was any of that real?
21:20I guess not.
21:24Does it matter?
21:25This is a business arrangement.
21:27That's all.
21:28I'm not catching feelings for a billionaire.
21:31That would be insane.
21:33Don't judge me.
21:39I'm so screwed.
21:42Luna Reyes, 26, Egyptian-American, mother deceased, no father on record raised by an aunt who also passed.
21:49No criminal record.
21:51No college degree.
21:52Worked minimum wage jobs for the last eight years.
21:54And before Vivian?
21:56She was a waitress at Ember's Steakhouse.
21:58Fired after an incident involving Richard Ashford and fondue.
22:04The fondue girl.
22:05She's the fondue girl.
22:07Richard Ashford personally had her blacklisted from every major restaurant chain in New York.
22:11So the woman Richard Ashford despises is now his daughter-in-law.
22:14This is too good.
22:16What else?
22:16No evidence of a relationship between her and Vivian prior to four weeks ago.
22:20No social media history together.
22:21No mutual friends.
22:22Nothing.
22:23Because there was no relationship.
22:24This marriage is fake.
22:29I just need proof.
22:31Something concrete enough for the board and for Richard.
22:35There's one more thing.
22:37Luna Reyes was evicted from her apartment the same week she married Vivian Ashford.
22:41Evicted.
22:41And then suddenly married to a billionaire.
22:44Find me the contract.
22:45There has to be one.
22:46No one marries a stranger without paperwork.
22:51Richard, it's Derek.
22:52I think we should talk about your daughter-in-law.
23:03What's wrong?
23:04My father wants to see us.
23:06Both of us.
23:07Today.
23:08That doesn't sound...
23:09Derek called him.
23:12What does Derek know?
23:15I don't know yet.
23:17But if he's gone to my father, it's not good.
23:23Sit down.
23:27Derek has brought something to my attention.
23:30He claims your marriage is a fabrication.
23:32That's absurd.
23:34Is it?
23:35You've known each other for less than two months.
23:37There's no dating history.
23:38No social media.
23:40No mutual connections.
23:42And your wife was evicted from her apartment the same week you married.
23:46I moved in with my wife.
23:48That's what married people do.
23:49Or what people do when they're paid to pretend.
23:53Luna.
23:54Look at me.
23:56Do you love my daughter?
24:03Yes.
24:04I love her.
24:05Leave us.
24:06Richard, I said leave.
24:11I'm watching.
24:12Both of you.
24:14Don't make me regret this.
24:16You are incredible.
24:23I wasn't acting.
24:31When's the last time you slept?
24:33Define slept.
24:35More than three hours?
24:42I wasn't finished.
24:43You're finished for tonight.
24:45Luna.
24:46Vivian.
24:47I can't afford to stop.
24:48Derek is...
24:49Derek can wait until morning.
24:50You can't run a company if you collapse.
24:54Lean back.
24:56I don't...
24:56Lean back.
25:00Tell me something.
25:01Not about work.
25:02Something real.
25:05My mother named her company after herself.
25:07Kareem.
25:08She died when I was seven.
25:10Brain tumor.
25:11I remember her hands.
25:13She wore rings.
25:14Silver.
25:15Like mine.
25:16I started wearing them because as I was afraid I'd forget what she looked like.
25:19You won't forget.
25:20How do you know?
25:22Because you love her too much.
25:24That kind of love doesn't let you forget.
25:29Luna.
25:30Yeah?
25:37I'm not good at this.
25:39At what?
25:40Feeling things.
25:42You're better at it than you think.
25:52Coffee's on the counter.
25:56You let me fall asleep.
25:57You needed it.
26:02About last...
26:03You don't have to explain anything.
26:05I want to.
26:10I've never told anyone about my mother's rings.
26:13Not even Marco.
26:15Why did you tell me?
26:19I don't know.
26:21That's not true.
26:23I do know.
26:23I just don't know how to say it.
26:28Then don't say it.
26:30If I kiss you right now, it won't be for the cameras.
26:34I know.
26:41What?
26:42Your father's been hospitalized.
26:44You need to come now.
26:46I'm on my way.
26:48Go.
26:49I'll be right behind you.
26:57The cancer is progressing faster than we anticipated.
27:01We're looking at weeks now, not months.
27:06Thank you, doctor.
27:08Thank you, doctor.
27:21Vivian.
27:23I'm here, dad.
27:26Come closer.
27:31You too.
27:37She looks at you
27:39the way your mother looked at me.
27:44Take care of her.
27:47She won't let anyone else.
27:49I will.
27:51The company is yours.
27:53I've already told the board.
27:55Dad!
27:56I should have said it years ago.
27:58You were always enough, Vivian.
28:02I was too proud to admit it.
28:17He's dying.
28:19I know.
28:20I spent my whole life trying to prove myself to him.
28:23And now...
28:24I'm okay.
28:33We need to talk about the contract.
28:35What about it?
28:37My father gave me the company.
28:40The original reason for our arrangement is fulfilled.
28:45So you're saying we're done.
28:47I'm saying the contract no longer applies.
28:50You've fulfilled your end.
28:51The money is yours.
28:53You're free to leave whenever you want.
28:58Is that what you want?
28:59Is that what you want?
28:59What I want is irrelevant.
29:03This was a business deal.
29:04Stop calling it that.
29:06It is that.
29:06It is that.
29:07That's what we agreed.
29:08I know what we agreed.
29:10But things changed, Vivian.
29:12You know they did.
29:13The dancing.
29:14The couch.
29:16Last night at the hospital.
29:19This morning.
29:20When you almost kissed me.
29:24Was all of that business.
29:28Luna.
29:28Answer me.
29:29I can't give you what you want.
29:31What do you think I want?
29:32Someone who knows how to love.
29:34I don't.
29:34I've never.
29:35I.
29:36I sleep with women and send them away in the morning.
29:39That's all I know how to do.
29:41That's not all you know.
29:42You held my hand in front of your father.
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 and tell me this was just business.
29:59I don't know how to do this.
30:01Neither do I.
30:03But I want to try.
30:05With you.
30:12No.
30:14That wasn't adequate.
30:16No.
30:17It really wasn't.
30:20A falsified marriage in exchange for a fininite sump.
30:23Your marriage is a fraud.
30:25You paid a waitress to pretend to be your wife.
30:31Vivian, is this true?
30:33It started as an arrangement.
30:35Yes.
30:36I 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.
30:43Since then, my wife has stood beside me.
30:45In front of my father.
30:46In front of this board.
30:46In front of the entire city.
30:48She held my hand in a hospital room while my father told me I was enough.
30:51She made me dinner when I forgot to eat.
30:53She made me sleep when I wouldn't stop working.
30:55She is not a transaction.
30:56You want to talk about fraud, Derek?
30:58Let's talk about how you obtained a private legal document.
31:01Let's talk about the investigator you hired to surveil my wife.
31:05Let's talk about how you've spent the last two months undermining me instead of doing your actual job.
31:10I love Luna Reyes.
31:12That is not a business decision.
31:13That is the truth.
31:14And if this board can't see the difference between where something starts and where it ends,
31:19then you don't deserve to lead anything.
31:21Vote however you want.
31:23I'm going home to my wife.
31:32I moved to table Mr. Lawson's motion.
31:36Second.
31:45I saw the news, Luna.
31:49Everyone knows.
31:50The whole city knows.
31:52They published the contract.
31:55Derek leaked it to the press after the board meeting.
31:59What did you tell them?
32:00The board?
32:01The truth.
32:03Which version?
32:04The only version that matters.
32:06That it started as a deal.
32:08And that it became real.
32:10They're calling me a gold digger.
32:12A con artist.
32:13There are pictures of me outside Ember's steakhouse from the day I got fired.
32:17Someone found my eviction notice.
32:18They're saying I targeted you.
32:20None of that is true.
32:21It doesn't matter if it's true.
32:22It's what people believe.
32:23Your reputation.
32:24I don't care about my reputation.
32:25You've cared about it your entire life.
32:27Maybe I should go.
32:28If I'm not in the picture, the scandal dies.
32:30You keep the company.
32:31Everything goes back to-
32:31Don't you dare leave me to protect you.
32:33I have spent my entire life watching people walk away because things got hard.
32:35My mother didn't have a choice, but you do.
32:37And I am asking you, begging you to stay.
32:40I'm scared.
32:43So am I.
32:46But I'd rather be scared with you than safe without you.
32:51I'm not going anywhere.
32:56Your cat has terrible timing.
32:58She gets it from me.
33:01I've never spoken to press before.
33:03What if I say something wrong?
33:04You won't.
33:06What if I throw up?
33:07Then we'll make headlines for a different reason.
33:10You don't have to do this.
33:11I can handle it alone.
33:13No.
33:13We do this together.
33:15That's the whole point.
33:17Thank you all.
33:17We were strangers who made a deal.
33:21But somewhere between the contract and now, I fell in love with her.
33:25Genuinely.
33:26Completely.
33:27In a way I didn't think I was capable of.
33:29Luna Reyes is not a gold digger.
33:31She is my wife.
33:32Not because of a contract, but because I choose her.
33:34Every single day.
33:36Your turn.
33:39I'm not a billionaire and a cat who eats shoelaces.
33:43I married Vivian Ashworth for money.
33:45But she is also kind.
33:46And she carries her mother's memory on every finger.
33:49You can call me whatever you want, but I love her.
33:52And that's not something anyone paid me to say.
33:55Luna, will you stay married?
33:56Ask me in 50 years.
34:05Vivian.
34:05I saw the press conference on the television.
34:11You should be resting.
34:12You were brave.
34:14Your mother would have been proud.
34:16I was wrong.
34:18About a lot of things.
34:19About you.
34:21About what makes someone worthy.
34:23Dad, don't.
34:23Let me finish.
34:24I spent my life measuring people by numbers.
34:28Dollars.
34:29Percentages.
34:30Quarterly reports.
34:32And I missed what was right in front of me.
34:35She's good, Vivian.
34:37Don't let her go.
34:39I won't.
34:40And the company?
34:41It's handled.
34:43The board voted this afternoon.
34:45Derek's motion was rejected.
34:46Unanimously.
34:48That's my girl.
34:52Tell Luna thank you.
34:54For taking care of you.
35:02I'm here.
35:03I'm right here.
35:06I'm right here.
35:20Goodbye, Dad.
35:28No suit today?
35:29Board meetings not until noon.
35:33Vivian Ashford in sweatpants before noon.
35:36The press would have a field day.
35:40Let them.
35:44How are you?
35:45Really?
35:47Some days are harder.
35:49But I'm okay.
35:51Because of you.
35:53I want to tell you something.
35:56Okay?
35:57I've been thinking about what comes next.
35:59For me.
36:00I don't want to just be the billionaire's wife.
36:03I want to do something.
36:05Build something.
36:06What did you have in mind?
36:07A restaurant.
36:08My own.
36:09Small.
36:10Family style.
36:11The kind of place where nobody gets fired for crescent-shaped ice.
36:15I think that's a brilliant idea.
36:17I don't want your money for it.
36:18I want to earn it.
36:19Loans.
36:20Savings.
36:20The right way.
36:21I wouldn't dare offer.
36:23Liar.
36:23You already have a check written, don't you?
36:27You already have a check written, don't you?
36:28I love you.
36:29Even when you're impossible.
36:31Especially when I'm impossible.
36:34Cleopatra!
36:36You're grounded.
36:41Opening day gift.
36:44A plant.
36:45For the windowsill.
36:46Every good restaurant has plants on the windowsill.
36:49You did this.
36:50All of it.
36:50On your own.
36:51Not entirely on my own.
36:58Chef special.
36:59For my favorite customer.
37:01Favorite.
37:01I thought you said you'd rather serve anyone else in the world first.
37:04I told you.
37:05I'm not taking it back.
37:07And I told you.
37:08I'd make you regret it.
37:11Have you?
37:12Not yet.
37:14But I have time.
37:15How much time?
37:17Ask me in 50 years.
37:20The second law of thermodynamics says the universe tends toward disorder.
37:24Everything falls apart.
37:25Everything breaks down.
37:26But sometimes, just sometimes, two people find each other in the chaos.
37:30And they build something.
37:32Not perfect.
37:33Not easy.
37:34But real.
37:35And that's enough.
