Transcript

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?

03:06Good thing.

03:07Y-yeah, I just, um, I remember you wore glasses, right?

03:18Uh, yeah.

03:20Yeah, no more, um, chunky ugly glasses.

03:24Uh, thanks to contacts, you know, I mean, can't survive them.

03:27Actually, um, they popped out last night.

03:30It was, it was actually such a disaster.

03:32I...

03:33You are still so beautiful.

03:37I'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...

03:49Oop!

03:51Back alone.

03:54I know him.

04:08Uh...

04:09Are you okay?

04:14Yeah, yeah.

04:15Um, thank you.

04:17Um, I should get back to work.

04:19Okay.

04:20No, hold on.

04:21Claire.

04:22Um...

04:23You know...

04:24We should...

04:26Hang out.

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.

04:46Um...

04:47I'm not your best friend's wife anymore.

04:49So I think you two need to hang out without me.

04:52Um...

04:53It was good to see you, though.

04:54It was really good to see you.

04:57Uh...

04:58I'm gonna go.

05:00Yeah, but I don't mean to...

05:01Hey, dude!

05:02Should we call you Mr. Bridges?

05:04Gotta get a fist bump for my old buddy.

05:06Ballin' on Marley.

05:07Remember?

05:08Yeah.

05:09Yeah.

05:10Good to see you.

05:11Yeah, yeah.

05:12Absolutely.

05:13Listen.

05:14You're gonna love this.

05:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:16Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:22Aww.

05:23That 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,

06:05we don't have to sneak around anymore.

06:07In fact,

06:08you can propose to me at any time.

06:13Propose?

06:15Are you living in a fantasy land, Gina?

06:19Claire is my wife,

06:21and I'm going to get her back.

06:24Miles!

06:28Ugh!

06:29That bitch needs to die.

06:31Just hearing her name disgusts me.

06:41Gina!

06:42Wonderful, beautiful boss.

06:44What's wrong?

06:46What do you mean?

06:47Nothing's wrong.

06:49Except for that hag.

06:50I'm going to pull her down off her pedestal.

06:55She's so disgusting.

06:58If I were her,

06:59I wouldn't even show my face at this alumni meetup.

07:04Where's our waitress?

07:10Hey, you.

07:12We've been waiting over an hour for our cocktails.

07:15What kind of crappy-ass service is this?

07:17No.

07:18Oh!

07:20You bitch!

07:21You ruined my $10,000 dress!

07:23Fair enough.

07:24You ruined my seven-year marriage.

07:27Let's be realistic.

07:29Your husband dumped you.

07:31How is that supposed to be my fault?

07:32What the fuck, Gina?

07:34You haven't caused enough trouble,

07:35you have to come here and make a scene?

07:37Poor little garbage girl.

07:38Is this your knight in shining armor?

07:40It's hilarious.

07:41You were nothing in college,

07:42and now you're less than nothing.

07:44Watch your dirty mouth, Gina.

07:46You were always jealous of Claire.

07:47You used to follow her to frat parties

07:48and then open your legs for any guy who glanced at her.

07:49Yeah.

07:50You know, I've never knew there were obsessive-compulsive bitches until I met you.

07:55Didn't I kick your ass once in college gym class?

07:56How about a repeat performance right now?

07:57Hey!

07:58Yeah.

07:59No.

08:00You so much as touch her, and I will personally rip off your face and shove it up your surgically

08:22enhanced lunch.

08:24How dare you speak to me like this, waitress?

08:26Um, 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, and then you'll lose your garbage house, and you 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 as a gift.

08:52Do you want to 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.

09:16Oh, hey.

09:17It's just in order.

09:18I got this.

09:19You heard your boss.

09:20We're going to require lots of attention now, won't we, girl?

09:21Mm-hmm.

09:22Bring us our cocktails.

09:23We don't have all night.

09:24Mm-hmm.

09:25Your drinks will be out right away.

09:26Hurry up, waitress.

09:27Run, waitress.

09:28Get going.

09:29Get going.

09:30If there were any justice in the world, that little bitch would choke on a chicken bone

09:31right now.

09:32You heard your boss.

09:33You heard your boss.

09:34We're going to require lots of attention now, won't we, girl?

09:35Mm-hmm.

09:36Bring us our cocktails.

09:37We don't have all night.

09:38Mm-hmm.

09:39Your drinks will be out right away.

09:40Hurry up, waitress.

09:41Run, waitress.

09:42Get going.

09:43Get going.

09:44If there were any justice in the world, that little bitch would choke on a chicken bone

09:57right now.

09:58I'll be all right.

09:59Don't worry.

10:00Here you go.

10:21Ew.

10:22What kind of cocktail is this?

10:24It's disgusting.

10:25You know what?

10:26That bitch.

10:27Stop.

10:34Are you okay?

10:35Yeah, I'm fine.

10:36Dominic.

10:38She started it.

10:39You know, I would never-

10:40Gina.

10:41For once in your life, can you shut your fucking mouth?

10:45When we were in college, you were wildly annoying.

10:50And now, you're just a fucking bride of Frankenstein.

10:53Nope.

10:55Don't say anything.

10:57You can go the fuck home.

10:59This is not over.

11:00We will settle this in pain.

11:01Do I look worried, Gina?

11:02What are your two little names?

11:15Julie Anderson.

11:16Angelica Martinez.

11:17We saw you on the podcast magazine.

11:18I actually saw it first on a night show.

11:19Oh, what the crap.

11:20I saw the little games that you were trying to play with, Gina.

11:30If you ever try to do something like that to my friends again, I'm going to make your

11:34life miserable.

11:35You got me?

11:36Now, you two can go home as well.

11:39Are you okay?

11:49Yeah.

11:50Yeah.

11:51Yeah, I am now.

11:54That was very chivalrous.

11:56Claire, what's wrong?

12:11What's wrong?

12:13Why don't you ask your mistress, Miles?

12:16Hold on.

12:17She's not my mistress.

12:18It was a mistake.

12:19Okay.

12:20But we're through now.

12:21But I'll make sure that she never bothers you again.

12:24How about you stop lathering me, Miles?

12:26I have work to do.

12:27Thanks.

12:35You know, it's temporary.

12:38She's just being dramatic.

12:40I'm definitely going to get her back.

12:46Teach Claire a lesson, and I'll give you the rest after.

12:51Consider it done, ma'am.

12:53Thank you for giving me a ride.

12:58On top of everything, my car is in the shop, and I don't know how I'm going to pay for that.

13:04You know Dominic can take his eyes off you all night?

13:10Okay, Dominic is Miles' friend.

13:13Friends take sides in divorces, so I don't trust him for a second.

13:16I 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.

13:28Really?

13:29Yes!

13:30Yes!

13:31Yes!

13:32Yes!

13:33Yes!

13:34Like a billionaire came back for me?

13:35A waitress?

13:36What kind of fairytale is this?

13:37Made in Manhattan?

13:38Girl, anything is possible.

13:40Okay, please promise me you won't blow off a billionaire!

13:44For God's sake!

13:51Hey, ladies!

13:52You need a ride.

13:55No, that's a shame, ladies.

13:57She does need a ride.

13:59If I drive her, it would just be a really big burden.

14:04Mm-hmm.

14:05You said it was fine.

14:06Go with the nice gentleman, Claire.

14:08And please be sure to include handcrafted leather interior

14:12and get a panoramic roof.

14:14Please.

14:20You know, Maggie was always a little bit eccentric.

14:25In a good way.

14:28I thought billionaires had drivers.

14:31I do have drivers.

14:33Yeah?

14:34He is in the trunk.

14:39Please, come with me.

14:42We're going home.

14:44All right.

14:45We're going home.

14:46And we're going home.

14:48We are going home soon.

14:49We are ready.

14:50No, no.

14:51No.

14:52No.

14:53We are going home soon.

14:54All right.

14:55We need to know and leave you.

14:56We need to know and let's hope to take place.

14:57When was the last time we sat together?

14:59Summer, 2017.

15:01When was the last time we sat together?

15:09Summer, 2017.

15:11How do you remember that?

15:14I don't think that I could ever forget.

15:18Oh!

15:20Yes, because you were on the soccer team.

15:22And you broke your arm.

15:24And I felt so bad for you.

15:27And...

15:31I don't think that I could ever forget.
