Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Mom, I am not bringing a date to the wedding.
00:00:05That I'm focused on work.
00:00:06That I don't need to parade around a stranger.
00:00:12Delaney, mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:00:21Actually, you know what?
00:00:23I think I found a date you're really going to like.
00:00:28I got to go.
00:00:30I'm going to be investing.
00:00:31Dark shades, I'm going to work with you.
00:00:33Ain't trying to puff me like a nigga in a rica.
00:00:36Moving through this shit like GTA with a cheer card.
00:00:38You claim they hate me, but they're fucking out of fear cards.
00:00:41I just want to dance all night.
00:00:43Can't nobody do it just like I.
00:00:46You got just what I like.
00:00:49Come on, baby, let's kiss on fire.
00:00:51What you want to do?
00:00:52Tell me what you like.
00:00:54What you want to do?
00:00:55Tell me what you like.
00:00:56What you want to do?
00:00:57Tell me what you like.
00:00:59A day to my sister's wedding.
00:01:05I'll double your best payday, and I'll evenly
00:01:07you pick our fake back story.
00:01:09Looking for something?
00:01:13A date to my sister's wedding.
00:01:17I'll double your best payday, and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
00:01:25Lucky for you.
00:01:27I do escort work on the side.
00:01:31Give my agency a call.
00:01:33I'm yours so long as you pay.
00:01:39What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:41What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:44Just stay apart, baby, I'm a get you free.
00:01:47What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:49What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:57Piper?
00:01:59That's me.
00:02:00You must be Tate.
00:02:02Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
00:02:04The agency filled you in, yes?
00:02:06You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
00:02:09My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
00:02:12Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
00:02:15Of course, Mr. Young.
00:02:16You can trust me.
00:02:17I'm a professional.
00:02:18Well, I mean, you're an escort.
00:02:20It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
00:02:24And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
00:02:29Really just a credit card.
00:02:31That's funny.
00:02:32I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
00:02:34Two for the price of one.
00:02:36Lucky you.
00:02:47So, what's the story of how we met?
00:02:51You said you're a professional, right?
00:02:53Make something up.
00:02:54If we want to pull this off, we're going to have to have a story.
00:02:58You said yourself that your mother's going to be watching.
00:03:00Unless you want me to tell her the truth.
00:03:03Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming, but I need you to take this seriously, okay?
00:03:12My reputation's at stake here.
00:03:14You know, on my way over here, I was wondering, why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
00:03:23And I'm starting to understand why.
00:03:24Tate, you came.
00:03:26Tate, you came.
00:03:27It's your rehearsal dinner.
00:03:29What did you expect?
00:03:30Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
00:03:34And you are?
00:03:35It's nice to meet you, Ariana.
00:03:41I'm Piper.
00:03:42So?
00:03:43How did you two meet?
00:03:46Don't worry, babe.
00:03:48I'll tell her.
00:03:48I hosted a local artist charity auction last month, and the Young Family Foundation bid on a painting for their lobby.
00:03:56I supervised the installation, and Tate was there.
00:04:00The rest is history.
00:04:02Wow.
00:04:03Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
00:04:06It was our father's passion project, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
00:04:10Oh.
00:04:12Mom's looking for you?
00:04:13I told her you were over here, so good luck.
00:04:14I'm going to go make out with Dave.
00:04:23You know, I gotta say, it's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
00:04:28Oh, Tate, we've got to work on your trust issues.
00:04:31That whole story was true.
00:04:34Aside from meeting you, of course.
00:04:36Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
00:04:41Hello.
00:04:42Oh, I don't believe you're on our guest list.
00:04:45Mom, come on.
00:04:47Is that anyone intrigued my date?
00:04:50It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
00:04:52I was just telling your daughter that you bid on a painting at a local art auction I held last month.
00:04:57You hosted that?
00:04:59That painting spoke to me immediately.
00:05:01And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
00:05:05No name, just for Elizabeth.
00:05:09A dedication to the artist's mother.
00:05:11Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
00:05:15I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity.
00:05:21Oh.
00:05:22And how about you, dear?
00:05:24Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
00:05:27I'm an open book.
00:05:29Ask me anything.
00:05:30Where did you grow up?
00:05:34New York.
00:05:35Did you attend college?
00:05:37Princeton.
00:05:38College and graduate school for my MFA.
00:05:41Whoa.
00:05:42Poor dear.
00:05:42You must be drowning in student debt.
00:05:45Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans, thank goodness.
00:05:48Oh.
00:05:49So you're comfortable.
00:05:50My mother was at the top of her field, so yes, we were comfortable.
00:05:55I see.
00:05:55We'll all have to have lunch together.
00:05:58Um, my mother is unfortunately no longer with us.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:05Okay.
00:06:05Enough with the third degree.
00:06:07I think Piper deserves a breather.
00:06:09I'll give her a tour of the house.
00:06:12Nice meeting you.
00:06:13You, too.
00:06:14Okay.
00:06:23Okay.
00:06:24So we've established that you're an enormous dork, which is probably why you have a hard time with the ladies.
00:06:31I prefer to focus on my work.
00:06:34Hmm.
00:06:35You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
00:06:38Stop.
00:06:38You sound like my mother.
00:06:40She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
00:06:43Oh.
00:06:44What kind of extremes?
00:06:46Trying to get me back together with my ex.
00:06:49Speaking of the...
00:06:50Tate, baby.
00:06:51I missed you.
00:06:54Delaney?
00:06:55This is...
00:06:55Piper, his girlfriend.
00:06:58Delaney Hughes, his first love.
00:07:02Is that right?
00:07:03See, you're still trying to replace me, huh?
00:07:05What app did you find this one on?
00:07:08Piper is in the arts.
00:07:09That's where we met.
00:07:11And Delaney here is a lawyer at the firm.
00:07:13T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
00:07:16We dated all throughout high school and college.
00:07:18And then we broke up.
00:07:19Hmm?
00:07:20Delaney, why are you here?
00:07:22Oh, don't be like that.
00:07:23You know Josie and I have always been close.
00:07:25Why, I'm practically family, and who knows?
00:07:28Maybe someday I will be.
00:07:29Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:07:32Thank God I came, right?
00:07:33I mean, it doesn't look like there was much of a turnout.
00:07:36We kept the guest list intimate.
00:07:38We didn't want anything to...
00:07:39Expensive?
00:07:40I mean, this family is worth millions.
00:07:42I'm sad that they couldn't throw you a decent wedding.
00:07:44If your father were alive to see his daughter...
00:07:46Delaney!
00:07:48Yes?
00:07:49You're drunk.
00:07:51I'll call you a car.
00:07:52Don't be silly.
00:07:53Go, Delaney.
00:07:56I didn't invite you here.
00:07:57Your mother did.
00:07:58Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
00:08:00Car's five minutes away.
00:08:02Feel free to wait outside.
00:08:03You should learn to stay out of my business.
00:08:06Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
00:08:09I hope this isn't too forward, but can we be best friends already?
00:08:21Not too forward at all.
00:08:22Sorry about Delaney.
00:08:23It's okay.
00:08:24Or it will be, as long as you keep this girl around.
00:08:27I meant what I said earlier.
00:08:35If we're going to get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
00:08:38Your family's not going to stop crying.
00:08:42Okay, fine.
00:08:43I graduated from Columbia, summa cum laude.
00:08:48Interned at Goldman Sachs.
00:08:50Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
00:08:53Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:55And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
00:09:00Hmm.
00:09:02Boring.
00:09:03Oh, success is boring to you?
00:09:07I can find all that stuff on Google.
00:09:09I want to know who you really are.
00:09:12Okay.
00:09:13Um, I'm good at billiards.
00:09:15Oh, God.
00:09:17Just call it pool, like a normal person.
00:09:19Pools are for swimming.
00:09:21Wow.
00:09:22Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
00:09:26Privilege is subjective.
00:09:27Well, money's not.
00:09:29And that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
00:09:34Oh.
00:09:35What's this?
00:09:37Absolutely not.
00:09:39It does not say no escorts.
00:09:45Oh.
00:09:52A.B. Honor roll.
00:09:55So you're a huge nerd.
00:09:57Briefly.
00:09:59I love space, anyway.
00:10:02What the hell happened?
00:10:04What do you mean?
00:10:05Based on my research, I couldn't find a single photo where you actually looked happy.
00:10:10And that Forbes 30 under 30 profile.
00:10:13It was thoughtful.
00:10:13Introspective.
00:10:16Mildly suicidal.
00:10:18Definitely depressing.
00:10:19Fine.
00:10:23There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
00:10:28Finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
00:10:33But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
00:10:40I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:10:41After that, I guess I stopped looking up at the stars.
00:10:48That's where he was, you know?
00:10:51Instead of down here with us.
00:10:53Are you okay?
00:11:12I should, uh, get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
00:11:14So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
00:11:25I don't work multi-day jobs.
00:11:28Plus, I don't think I should.
00:11:29Your family is way too involved.
00:11:32It's too complicated.
00:11:34I thought you said you were a professional.
00:11:37You'll have to make up an excuse.
00:11:40Or, give them my apologies.
00:11:43I'm sorry, Tate.
00:11:44Really.
00:11:47I'll double your rate.
00:11:52And I'll do whatever you say.
00:11:55Open up as much as necessary.
00:11:57You don't want to keep lying to your family, Tate.
00:12:00I mean, what's your big plan here?
00:12:02You know, for once, I'm not trying to strategize ten steps ahead.
00:12:06I know what I want right now.
00:12:09I'll talk to the agency.
00:12:13See if they can make arrangements.
00:12:19Thank you, Piper.
00:12:21Don't thank me yet.
00:12:24Look, I'd better go.
00:12:29No problem.
00:12:29Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:42Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:42Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:43Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:43Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:44Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:44Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:45Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:45Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:46Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:46Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:47Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:47Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:48Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:48Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:49Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:49Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:50Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:50Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:51Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:52Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:52Don't thank you, Piper.
00:12:53Whenever you're awake, I miss you.
00:13:15Yeah, the next two nights?
00:13:17Is Renee available?
00:13:20She's just so good with all the medications.
00:13:24Oh, good.
00:13:26Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her.
00:13:52Oh, good.
00:13:53Cause I can't take it away.
00:13:59Oh, good.
00:14:04Oh, good.
00:14:06Oh, good.
00:14:12Oh, good.
00:14:14Oh, good.
00:14:16Oh, good.
00:14:18Oh, good.
00:14:20Oh, good.
00:14:24Oh, good.
00:14:26Oh, good.
00:14:28Oh, good.
00:14:30Oh, good.
00:14:32Oh, good.
00:14:34Oh, good.
00:14:36Oh, good.
00:14:37Oh, good.
00:14:38Oh, good.
00:14:40Oh, good.
00:14:41Oh, good.
00:14:42Oh, good.
00:14:43Oh, good.
00:14:44Oh, good.
00:14:45Oh, good.
00:14:46Oh, good.
00:14:47Oh, good.
00:14:48Oh, good.
00:14:49You
00:15:08Shit
00:15:19Text date?
00:15:24I can't make it to the wedding today.
00:15:27I'm sorry.
00:15:28I'll return your money now.
00:15:30Send.
00:15:37Not an option.
00:15:38Contract is signed with the agency.
00:15:41See you at 11 a.m.
00:15:43Fuck.
00:15:49Hello?
00:15:54There you are.
00:15:56Sorry, I couldn't hear the gate.
00:15:59It was open, but I'm here.
00:16:02And having a colossally bad hair day.
00:16:05Okay, well, you can't wear a hat to the wedding.
00:16:09It can't be that bad.
00:16:11Let me see it.
00:16:12It's that bad.
00:16:14No one can see.
00:16:15Show me.
00:16:19I'm sorry.
00:16:25Uh...
00:16:26Wow.
00:16:28What are you doing?
00:16:33Just trust me, okay?
00:16:35I grew up with a sister.
00:16:37So how did this happen anyway?
00:16:40I fell asleep painting.
00:16:43Which I haven't done since I was a kid.
00:16:46I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday.
00:16:49I was inspired.
00:16:51I know what you mean.
00:17:01You know we have staff for that sort of thing.
00:17:03Yes, and I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this.
00:17:07You're in a good mood.
00:17:10It's a good day.
00:17:12It's Piper, isn't it?
00:17:14I was skeptical.
00:17:16But I see how happy she makes you.
00:17:19Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this, okay?
00:17:22Your father would have liked her.
00:17:25I like her too.
00:17:29Hey!
00:17:30What are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:34What are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:54Ready?
00:17:55Dave, when we first met we agreed we felt like teenagers again.
00:18:06Energized.
00:18:08Invincible.
00:18:10But as we fell in love I felt more like a little kid again.
00:18:14Full of wonder.
00:18:16And hope.
00:18:18I had absolute faith in you because I felt absolutely cherished.
00:18:23Just like I did when I was small.
00:18:26My father taught me that unconditional love was possible.
00:18:31And I know you're the only man he'd trust his little girl to.
00:18:37Because you love all versions of me.
00:18:41Unconditionally.
00:18:43And I vow to love you just the same.
00:18:47Young or old.
00:18:50Richer or poorer.
00:18:53In sickness and in health.
00:18:56Forever.
00:19:01Bullshit.
00:19:02You were absolutely crying.
00:19:04I was not.
00:19:05Okay, I may have shed a tear.
00:19:07But she's my baby sister and she was getting married.
00:19:09I think I'm entitled to-
00:19:10Oh my god.
00:19:11Okay, if you make this a big deal, Piper, I swear.
00:19:14No, no, no. Not that.
00:19:15Is that?
00:19:16Sebastian Rockwell?
00:19:18The art critic?
00:19:19I'm kind of obsessed with him.
00:19:21Hey Bash!
00:19:22Tate.
00:19:23No.
00:19:32Tate.
00:19:33Beautiful ceremony.
00:19:34Thank you so much, my friend.
00:19:35Sebastian, I want you to meet someone.
00:19:37This is Piper Manning.
00:19:38It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Rothwell.
00:19:41I've been reading your writing for years.
00:19:44That piece you wrote on the Edward Hopper retrospective at the Whitney made me cry.
00:19:50You're too kind.
00:19:51You're too kind.
00:19:52Are you an artist yourself?
00:19:53I'm a painter.
00:19:55Send me some photos of your work.
00:19:57I'd love to know more about the woman who stole Tate Young's heart.
00:20:00Excuse me, I have to take this.
00:20:05Connect us.
00:20:06So, did you save a dance for me?
00:20:20I don't dance.
00:20:21What?
00:20:22No.
00:20:23Ariana said everyone had to dance, and that includes you and me.
00:20:37You don't want to piss off the bride, do you?
00:20:52How'd you get so good at this?
00:20:57I've attended way too many of these formal events to have not picked up a thing or two.
00:21:02Oh!
00:21:03Oh!
00:21:04Is that your foot?
00:21:05How are you so bad at this?
00:21:09Dancing is not one of my skills.
00:21:12So, how did you get into escorted?
00:21:17I needed help with my mom's medical bills, and the pay was great, and I didn't mind escaping
00:21:26my reality from time to time.
00:21:29Turns out, when you're not born into a multi-million dollar family, life's kinda hard.
00:21:34So, having a concierge doctor isn't the norm?
00:21:37I was kinda hoping that this would be my last gig.
00:21:43I wanna spend more time at home.
00:21:46Get a remote job or something.
00:21:48Job is a job.
00:21:49There's nothing wrong with doing what it takes to survive.
00:21:52But, for what it's worth, I hope I'm your last assignment too.
00:21:58How about a photo of the happy couple?
00:21:59Get cozy.
00:22:00Come on, Tate.
00:22:01Give her a kiss.
00:22:03Ha!

00:40:03with her with us she's gone alzheimer's her care nearly drove me to bankruptcy but that's in the past
00:40:14now i'm fully capable of supporting my family all on my own
00:40:22you should have told me that
00:40:25it's too painful to talk about
00:40:29and you should have told me about this too you didn't defend me tate
00:40:34and you never reached out you wanted nothing to do with me after that day
00:40:38piper look i get it i'm a black mark on your precious reputation
00:40:46delaney's better for you how do you know about that the press fall was your every move
00:40:52and i'm sure they'd have a field day about this
00:40:55please just leave us alone
00:41:06i want my daughter to know real love and i don't think you're capable of it
00:41:12you haven't taken your telescope out since you were a kid yeah well i uh try not to think about
00:41:27dad too much these days yeah did you see piper what did she say how much does she want
00:41:36she didn't want anything we'll need to draft an nda good god a pregnant escort the media circus around

00:41:50daughter out there in the world who i'll never meet thanks to you hey don't blame this on me
00:41:56you were the one that brought her in this house in the first place you're right
00:41:59and i'm ashamed of us for how we treated her you want to know why she was escorting
00:42:09it's because her mother is sick not dead i mean really sick but i guess delaney's email didn't
00:42:15include that huh you know what it doesn't even matter who's to blame i understand why she didn't
00:42:22tell me i make a terrible father i'm nothing like dad
00:42:39hey drew have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere it's exquisite
00:42:44it changed my life it's what made all this possible when did you paint it the night i met him
00:42:59before everything else i was thinking about vermeer's portraits his use of light and contrast to create a
00:43:09whole world and essence of a person what appears at first glance simple becomes increasingly intimate
00:43:20and exposes who the person is emotionally
00:43:26i owe you an apology piper and an explanation
00:43:32the way i accused you of only going after tate for his money
00:43:35i only feared that because that's how i married my husband i grew up with so little practically
00:43:44nothing really i vowed my children would not have the same fate so you accused me of what you did
00:43:51you went digging for gold only at first but yes i sought out harrison for the security
00:44:00so what happened after you got married did you tell him the truth or did you just live out a lie
00:44:05after a few months i was head over heels harrison was the love of my life the best husband and
00:44:12father i could have ever asked for well i'm sorry tate didn't turn out more like harrison then
00:44:17but i appreciate your honesty
00:44:21piper i know that if given the chance tate would follow in his father's footsteps
00:44:27you don't have to forgive me but please please let tate be a part of his child's life
00:44:40i'll think about it
00:44:41josey brought me
00:44:58she must have really groveled
00:45:00she did change my mind about something
00:45:04i never grew up knowing my father
00:45:06and
00:45:10i'd be lying if i said that i didn't feel that absence
00:45:13so i'm willing to let you be in her life
00:45:18on my terms
00:45:23see you in a month
00:45:24wait what
00:45:27well the baby's not here yet

00:55:43that's not what scares me the most though
00:55:51I'm scared of how much I love you
00:55:57I love you too
00:56:01we hardly know each other
00:56:04it sounds crazy but I feel like you know me better than anyone else
00:56:10the real me
00:56:12but ask me anything
00:56:15I'm an open book
00:56:18what do you want
00:56:22I want us to be a family Piper
00:56:24that's it
00:56:25first and foremost
00:56:27I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have
00:56:33Lizzie?
00:56:36yeah
00:56:36short for Elizabeth
00:56:38I thought it sounded right
00:56:41it sounds perfect
00:56:47my mom is so excited we're moving into the estate
00:56:59it's not exactly giving normal childhood
00:57:02well normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights stairs Piper
00:57:06and besides there's more than enough room here for me you Lizzie and your mom
00:57:10she does seem more comfortable here
00:57:13I um
00:57:15I have a confession to make
00:57:17after the family doctor gave you the all clear
00:57:20I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists
00:57:24you did that?
00:57:26of course
00:57:27I talked to them and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days
00:57:32what kind of action plan?
00:57:34well a full-time in-house specialist for one
00:57:36and an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her
00:57:41plus
00:57:42something else that should help bring back some memories
00:57:46is that a piano?
00:57:50she's happy
00:58:05Tate I can tell she's happy
00:58:09music came right back to her
00:58:11the doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what but they think it's a good sign
00:58:17I'm not surprised
00:58:20you know it's in her muscles her blood her DNA everything
00:58:26do you want to try talking to her?
00:58:31not yet
00:58:32I want her to have this
00:58:35thank you
00:58:47my mom took Lizzie on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood
00:59:01oh she's gonna have the whole street wrapped around her finger
00:59:05you know you're not gonna be able to teach her how to use that for a few years
00:59:10yes but in the meantime you'll teach her how to paint
00:59:14and who knows maybe we'll have the next story night on our hands
00:59:18hopefully without the botched eardrop
00:59:20there's a piece I can't find
00:59:23do you mind looking in that box for me?
00:59:25it's uh small and gold
00:59:26Tate what's this?
00:59:31Piper Manning
00:59:43you made me want to look up at the stars again
00:59:46will you marry me?
