00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:25She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:28I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:41I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:55You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:28The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:43my scripts,
00:05:44my career,
00:05:45my future,
00:05:46we're all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom.
00:05:56How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know,
00:06:09but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:17but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise,
00:06:25very soon,
00:06:26everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go.
00:06:37Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:50Preston Eastwood,
00:06:54the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:10All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:27If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31Bye.
00:07:40Bye.
00:07:40Bye.
00:07:48You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:58I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:17Good to see ya.
00:09:18Oh, my gosh.
00:09:19How long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long.
00:09:21Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel.
00:09:30Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:34Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, you played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it. He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules, what do you say?
00:10:15Huh?
00:10:16Yeah!
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20It's fine.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:34Some people never change.
00:10:36But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:55Ooh, careful.
00:10:57You alright?
00:10:58I'm still starving. Make me some food.
00:11:03Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:07Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22What?
00:11:23For real?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30I'm rich.
00:11:32Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts, they were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a row.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Oh.
00:12:08Mm-hmm.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:10Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:15Anyways.
00:12:16Come on, Ben.
00:12:17Let's go.
00:12:18That's great.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Hi.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:39Miss.
00:12:40Okay.
00:12:41Bye.
00:12:42Take care.
00:12:43Bye.
00:12:44It's a night.
00:12:45Mr.
00:12:46The situation is gone.
00:12:47The same thing.
00:12:48Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:51So-
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:57Is it 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:00After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:21Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:28Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream, I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course, even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well actually-
00:13:48This is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:54Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:03It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:07Right?
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I-
00:14:18It's okay babe, we don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:21This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:53I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:13Oh Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's-
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:22Let's give him a show.
00:15:35Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:43I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01He, did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Preston!
00:16:18Jackson, enough!
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:34Ooh!
00:16:35I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket.
00:16:40So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over,
00:16:45but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:08I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey!
00:17:16Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa!
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39That's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:04And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:08Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm gonna go back.
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:25Please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:27Yeah.
00:18:28Oh, good.
00:18:29You're up.
00:18:30Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:31It's fun.
00:18:32What?
00:18:33Don't look at me like that.
00:18:34I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:35Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:38Well, but, how lucky for a couple of years.
00:18:40He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:55Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:18:59Listen, man, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her.
00:19:01And nothing happened.
00:19:03You can trust me.
00:19:05I won't let you just walk up at the restaurants.
00:19:07Right.
00:19:08You can trust me.
00:19:10President, I think you're too wrong.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:16Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:54That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05Oh, my God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:13Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what? Fine.
00:20:23You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:27And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:29I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:31Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:33I was never the homemaker.
00:20:35I was never the homemaker.
00:20:37Please, Daniel?
00:20:39I was never the homemaker.
00:20:41Please, Daniel?
00:20:43I was never the homemaker.
00:20:45I was never the homemaker.
00:20:47Please, Daniel?
00:20:51I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:00I was never the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:18I can't think of any time she was there
00:21:20to comfort me.
00:21:25If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:43Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:21:47If only she worked this hard at being a wife
00:21:49when it actually mattered.
00:22:01There you go.
00:22:02There he is.
00:22:09God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:11Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:16I've got some.
00:22:21What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh, yeah, there you go.
00:22:24I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:27Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:29I'm bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:35Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:40You're not?
00:22:41A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:44Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:49It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:53What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:05I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:09And it's unfair.
00:23:10That's a shame, huh?
00:23:11You know what?
00:23:12Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh.
00:23:16No, it's...
00:23:18not to play with them.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:26You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money.
00:23:30It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:23:35bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:42Don't push.
00:23:48I said don't push.
00:23:49Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:55God, what the hell is he just so mean?
00:24:00Call it a lesson.
00:24:01I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was!
00:24:06I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:12Ouch!
00:24:12I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:17Maybe it will be.
00:24:18But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:21You?
00:24:23Man of the house?
00:24:24Please.
00:24:25You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:26I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:30And you're washed up, Pat!
00:24:32Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:34How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:38I'm a fucking star!
00:24:40A star?
00:24:41A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:44Jackson, come on.
00:24:45I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going!
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:51Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:24:53You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:19What was that?
00:25:23Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:31Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:33What?
00:25:34He got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson and he came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:43You're acting like a jealous child!
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me!
00:25:49It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:50Throw up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What?
00:25:57Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go.
00:26:00I'm sorry.
00:26:01No!
00:26:02Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:07And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:18Clean this up!
00:26:19Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:24Oh!
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:27Hello, 911.
00:26:28What's your emergency?
00:26:29I'm bleeding out.
00:26:30I think I hit an artery.
00:26:31I need an ambulance now.
00:26:32Now!
00:26:33Now!
00:26:34You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:40with liquids.
00:26:41To be honest, that's...
00:26:42I could use a break from home.
00:26:43Trouble with the missus?
00:26:44Uh...
00:26:45Yeah.
00:26:46Pretty obvious.
00:26:47Most married folks that come in here, are you?
00:26:48I'm sorry.
00:26:49I'm sorry.
00:26:50I'm sorry.
00:26:51I need an ambulance now.
00:26:52I need an ambulance now.
00:26:53Now!
00:26:54You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:58with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's...
00:27:01I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:04Uh...
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:08Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story, holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:23I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:34She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:44Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:53Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:06Fuck!
00:28:07Fuck!
00:28:08Let me get my shit in y'all.
00:28:09Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:10You once liked my short film.
00:28:11I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:12It needs the right producer.
00:28:13It needs the right producer.
00:28:14I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:15Where have you been?
00:28:16I kept calling.
00:28:17I-I started to feel like one of my stalkers.

00:28:20You once liked my short film.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.

00:28:35Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:37What?
00:28:38Seriously?
00:28:39Why does it always have to come back to him?

01:05:25he did
01:05:27he loved you
01:05:28but you treated him like he was nothing
01:05:30I was wrong
01:05:32Jackson
01:05:33he gave us ten years of his life
01:05:35and we abused it

01:06:59but okay, I'll tell you this
