00:01All of our college friends are gonna be here.
00:04You wanna embarrass yourself and me?
00:07I can't humiliate you more than you've already done for yourself.
00:10I mean, really, my old Gina?
00:13Everyone already knows that she's trashy, so what does that make you?
00:17Claire, you are my wife.
00:21You're gonna come back to me whether you like it or not.
00:25Oh my god, is that Dominic Bridges?
00:33The billionaire Dominic Bridges?
00:35I can't believe he's back in the States.
00:55He's so hot!
01:04How do I look?
01:05You look great.
01:06Yeah, yeah.
01:07I boost, right?
01:08Yeah?
01:09Yeah, yeah.
01:10Okay, okay.
01:11Hey, dude, what's going on?
01:14What's good, brother?
01:16Hey.
01:17Dude, it's been a while.
01:18I figured after I've seen you on Forbes billionaire cover that you wouldn't wanna mingle around
01:23with peasants like us.
01:25How you been?
01:26Good.
01:27Good, yeah.
01:28I've been good.
01:29How are you?
01:31Oh, I'm doing really good.
01:33Running my own business.
01:35Nothing compared to what you're doing, of course.
01:38So, what brought you out?
01:41A woman, actually.
01:44Uh, why are you staring at my wife like that?
01:57Why are you staring at my wife like that?
02:03I got you, dude.
02:05Look at your face.
02:07Oh, man.
02:08Half the women in town wanna sleep with you.
02:10Why in the hell would you be interested in my wife?
02:14Oh.
02:15Hold on.
02:17Hey.
02:18Hey.
02:19Hello.
02:20Just one second.
02:21I'll be right back.
02:22Let's have a fun night, yeah?
02:24Claire.
02:25Um.
02:26So, about last night, I want, um...
02:40Champagne?
02:41Sorry, um, what were you saying?
02:45She still doesn't recognize me.
02:46Nothing.
02:47Uh, you just look different.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Is that, um, a good thing or a bad thing?
03:04Good thing.
03:05Yeah, I just, um, I remember you were a good thing.
03:10Good thing.
03:11Yeah, I just, um, I remember you wore glasses, right?
03:17Uh, yeah.
03:20Yeah, no more, um, chunky ugly glasses.
03:23Uh, thanks to contacts, you know, I mean, can't survive them.
03:27Actually, um, you know, they popped out last night.
03:30It was, it was actually such a disaster.
03:32I...
03:33You are still so beautiful.
03:38I'd say you're handsome, but I actually can't see you without my contacts.
03:43Now it makes sense.
03:46She has no idea it was me last night.
03:48Um.
03:49Oh!
03:55Back alone.
03:57I know him.
03:59Uh.
04:13Are you okay?
04:15Yeah.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Um, thank you.
04:18Um, I should get back to work.
04:19No, hold on.
04:20Claire.
04:21Um.
04:23You know.
04:24We should.
04:27Hang out.
04:29Um.
04:33You, Ian Miles?
04:36Well, just like we did in college.
04:39Yeah, we spent a lot of time together.
04:42Things have changed, Dominic.
04:46I'm not your best friend's wife anymore.
04:49So I think you two need to hang out without me.
04:52Um, it was good to see you though.
04:54It was really good to see you.
04:55I'm gonna go.
04:56Yeah, but I don't mean to.
04:57Hey, dude.
04:58Should we call you Mr. Bridges?
04:59Gotta get a fist bump for my old buddy.
05:00Ballin' on Marley.
05:01Remember?
05:02Yeah.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Good to see you.
05:05Yeah.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Yeah.
05:10Good to see you.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Yeah.
05:13Absolutely.
05:14Listen.
05:15You're gonna love this.
05:16Yeah.
05:17Yeah.
05:18Yeah.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Aw.
05:24That outfit fits her so well.
05:26I knew you'd be here.
05:45What's going on, baby?
05:47Ignoring my calls and my texts?
05:49You could break a girl's heart like that.
05:56When you sent those pics to my wife?
05:59Are you out of your goddamn mind?
06:01I was joking.
06:03But since you're free now, we don't have to sneak around anymore.
06:07In fact, you can propose to me at any time.
06:13Propose?
06:15Are you living in a fantasy land, Gina?
06:19Claire is my wife and I'm going to get her back.
06:24Miles!
06:29That bitch needs to die.
06:31Just hearing her name disgusts me.
06:41Gina!
06:42Wonderful, beautiful boss.
06:44What's wrong?
06:45What do you mean?
06:47Nothing's wrong.
06:49Except for that hag.
06:52I'm gonna pull her down off her pedestal.
06:55She's so disgusting.
06:58If I were her, I wouldn't even show my face at this alumni meetup.
07:04Where's our waitress?
07:10Hey, you.
07:11We've been waiting over an hour for our cocktails.
07:14What kind of crappy-ass service is this?
07:17What kind of crappy-ass service is this?
07:19No.
07:21Oh!
07:23You bitch!
07:24You ruined my $10,000 dress!
07:27Fair enough.
07:28You ruined my seven-year marriage.
07:32Let's be realistic.
07:34Your husband dumped you.
07:35How is that supposed to be my fault?
07:37What the fuck, Gina?
07:39You haven't caused enough trouble, you have to come here and make a scene?
07:43Poor little garbage girl.
07:44Is this your knight in shining armor?
07:47It's hilarious.
07:49You were nothing in college, and now you're less than nothing.
07:53Watch your dirty mouth, Gina.
07:55You were always jealous of Claire.
07:58You used to follow her to frat parties and then open your legs for any guy who glanced at her.
08:04Yeah.
08:05You know, I never knew there were obsessive-compulsive bitches until I met you.
08:09Didn't I kick your ass once in college gym class?
08:12How about a repeat performance right now?
08:14Hey!
08:15Yeah.
08:16No.
08:17You so much as touch her, and I will personally rip off your face and shove it up your surgically-enhanced lunch.
08:23How dare you speak to me like this, waitress?
08:28Um, are you the manager?
08:30This waitress is refusing us service!
08:33This waitress is refusing us service!
08:37Now you're gonna lose your job.
08:39And then you'll lose your garbage house and already lost your husband, so what's left?
08:45How about you buy a pack of razor blades and end it quick?
08:49I'll give them to you.
08:51As a gift.
08:53Do you wanna step outside?
08:54What's going on here?
08:55Are you disrespecting a customer?
08:57No.
08:58She's not even in my section.
08:59Okay.
09:00They came after her.
09:01Stop.
09:02I'm assigning this table to you now, okay?
09:04You'll bring their order, and you'll get it right.
09:08Yes.
09:09I am so sorry, ladies.
09:11She's new.
09:12But I'll make sure she takes care of you now, okay?
09:15Of course.
09:23Oh, hey.
09:25It's just in order.
09:27I got this.
09:29You heard your boss.
09:31We're going to require lots of attention now, won't we, girl?
09:34Mm-hmm.
09:36Bring us our cocktails.
09:37We don't have all night.
09:39Mm.
09:43Your drinks will be out right away.
09:45Hurry up, waitress.
09:47Run, waitress.
09:48Get going.
09:49If there were any justice in the world, that little bitch would choke on a chicken bone right now.
10:02I'll be all right.
10:03Don't worry.
10:04Here you go.
10:11So, I said to her.
10:12Ah.
10:13Give me that here.
10:14Ah.
10:15Ew.
10:16What kind of cocktail is this?
10:20It's disgusting.
10:21You know what?
10:22That's it, bitch.
10:23Stop.
10:24Are you okay?
10:25Yeah, I'm fine.
10:26Dominic.
10:27She started it.
10:28You know, I would never-
10:29Gina.
10:30For once in your life, can you shut your fucking mouth?
10:33When we were in college, you were wildly annoying.
10:37And now, you're just a fucking bride of Frankenstein.
10:38No.
10:39Don't say anything.
10:40You can go the fuck home.
10:41This is not over.
10:42We need to settle this in pain.
10:44Do I owe you?
10:45No.
10:46No.
10:47No.
10:48No.
10:49No.
10:50No.
10:51No.
10:52No.
10:53No.
10:54No.
10:55No.
10:56No.
10:57No.
10:58No.
10:59No.
11:00No.
11:01No.
11:02No.
11:03No.
11:04No.
11:05No.
11:06No.
11:07Don't you look worried, Gina?
11:15What are your two little names?
11:16Julie Anderson.
11:18Angelica Martinez.
11:20We saw you on the Club at that magazine.
11:22I actually saw it first on the next show.
11:24Oh, what the crap!
11:26I saw the little games that you were trying to play with, Gina.
11:31If you ever try to do something like that to my friends again, I'm going to make your life miserable.
11:35miserable. You got me? Now you two can go home as well.
11:48You okay?
11:51Yeah, yeah, I am now. Thank you. That was very chivalrous.
12:05Claire, what's wrong? What's wrong? Why don't you ask your mistress, Miles?
12:15Hold on. She's not my mistress. It was a mistake, okay? But we're through now.
12:21Um, but I'll make sure that she never bothers you again.
12:24How about you stop bothering me, Miles? I have work to do, thanks.
12:35You know, it's, it's temporary. Uh, she's just being dramatic. I'm definitely gonna get her back.
12:46Teach Claire a lesson, and I'll give you the rest after.
12:51Consider it done, ma'am.
12:55Thank you for giving me a ride. On top of everything, my car is in the shop, and I don't know how I'm gonna pay for that.
13:02You know, Dominic can take his eyes off you all night.
13:09Okay, Dominic is Miles' friend. Friends take sides and divorces, so I don't trust him for a second.
13:17I have the feeling that he's obsessed with you, Claire.
13:23I think he always was, and maybe that's the reason why he moved back to the States.
13:26Really? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
13:32You think a billionaire came back for me? A waitress? What kind of fairy tale is this? Made in Manhattan?
13:38Girl, anything is possible. Okay, please promise me you won't blow off a billionaire. For God's sake.
13:45Hey, ladies. You need a ride.
13:55No, that's the same. She does need a ride.
13:59If I drive her, it'll just be a really big burden.
14:03Mm-hmm. You said it was fine.
14:05Go with the nice gentleman, Claire, and please be sure to undo a handcrafted leather interior and a panoramic moon roof.
14:14Please.
14:20You know, Maggie was always a little bit eccentric.
14:25In a good way.
14:25I thought billionaires had drivers.
14:31I do have a driver.
14:33Yeah.
14:33He is in the trunk.
14:39Please, come with me.
14:55When was the last time we sat together?
15:09Summer, 2017.
15:12How do you remember that?
15:15I don't think that I could ever forget.
15:18Oh!
15:20Yes, because you were on the soccer team.
15:23And you broke your arm.
15:24And I felt so bad for you.
15:27And...
