Short filmTranscript
00:00:01For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:00:05I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:08But while I wrote page after page, he betrayed me.
00:00:13He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:15And how did I find out?
00:00:17A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:00:20He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:00:2425 years of marriage.
00:00:27Gone. Just like that.
00:00:33Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:00:35I wish I could join you.
00:00:37Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:39It's a work thing, honey.
00:00:42Besides, you don't even like their music.
00:00:45Oh, actually, I do like-
00:00:46Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:48Can't wait for dinner. Make me, uh, something delicious.
00:00:51Okay, honey.
00:00:57Anne, Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.
00:01:09If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:13The least I could do is give you some credit, right?
00:01:15Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
00:01:17Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
00:01:19What's mine is his, and vice versa.
00:01:21I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over at CU.
00:01:24Anne, why publishing's your family business?
00:01:26I'm just looking over it on your behalf.
00:01:28We'll talk about this later.
00:01:30Gotta run, Henry.
00:01:31Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
00:01:33That's weird.
00:01:47The concert should be over by now.
00:01:54Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
00:01:56She's so annoying.
00:01:58She cannot go a single day without calling to blab about some unimportant shit.
00:02:03Hang on, baby.
00:02:06Yes, honey.
00:02:07I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.
00:02:11Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:02:16Alright.
00:02:18When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
00:02:22It has been years.
00:02:25I can't stand her body anymore.
00:02:27Especially now that I have someone like you.
00:02:30You better be telling the truth.
00:02:32Oh, I swear on my life.
00:02:34You are the only woman I know.
00:02:40Fuck!
00:02:42Okay, either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.
00:02:46Okay, I got it, baby.
00:02:47I'm gonna go.
00:02:48I'm gonna catch you later.
00:02:49Okay.
00:02:50But you better divorce her soon.
00:02:52I'm sick of this.
00:02:54Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
00:02:55I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.
00:02:57No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.
00:02:59Just hurry home.
00:03:03Hi, honey.
00:03:04You're back.
00:03:06And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:03:08How was the concert?
00:03:09Was it fun?
00:03:10No, not really.
00:03:11You know how these work things are.
00:03:13Well, maybe next time I should join you,
00:03:15then it'll be more fun.
00:03:16Oh, come on.
00:03:17Let me have your coat.
00:03:25Oh, Olivia called.
00:03:27She said she'll be back soon.
00:03:30Oh, my God.
00:03:31Wait.
00:03:32That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:03:35No way.
00:03:36Isn't he married?
00:03:37Who's he with?
00:03:38Oh, shit.
00:03:40Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:42Huh?
00:03:43What?
00:03:44I'm sorry, honey.
00:03:45What did you say?
00:03:46Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:47Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:48Honey.
00:04:09He may not have taken me to that real play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
00:04:14I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:04:20Hey, Dad.
00:04:21It's the big sober anniversary today, right?
00:04:2425 years of marriage.
00:04:25Wow.
00:04:26Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:04:30Yes, of course.
00:04:33Anne, my angel.
00:04:35Whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.
00:04:39You're my whole life.
00:04:46Thank you, my love.
00:04:47Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:57A pen.
00:04:58Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
00:05:01I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:05:05So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:05:12Wow.
00:05:13Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:05:15I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:05:22Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:05:24You are my muse.
00:05:25Everyone writes acknowledgments is no big deal.
00:05:28What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
00:05:36Price, insignificant.
00:05:38You better not learn that from my dad.
00:05:41Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
00:05:47I'm a career woman and career women appreciate investment pieces.
00:05:57What's wrong with your mother?
00:05:58She's just being dramatic.
00:06:00Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:06:05Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
00:06:09Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
00:06:16Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:06:27No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:06:30I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:06:34Anne, is it just me or does this look kind of like your husband?
00:06:37Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:38Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:42Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:43Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:45Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:47Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:48No, maybe arrangements beating on me around 50 years.
00:06:49Will be so decadeYY!
00:06:50Are you something dead?
00:06:51Maybe he did or did her not happy.
00:06:53Give me if heis missed.

00:35:51me as his
00:35:52successor

00:35:58is coming here
00:35:59to congratulate

00:44:09silence
00:44:09the Roy family

00:45:04to put words in my mouth
00:45:05the only reason
00:45:06I hid my identity

00:45:08fragile ego
00:45:09Jonathan

00:52:31to win this year

00:58:01Jonathan Asher?
00:58:27I knew it was you.
00:58:29Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.
00:58:35Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been assigned quite yet. I'm still just a nominee.
00:58:39Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.
00:58:46Oh my god. Dad, did you propose already?
00:58:54Congratulations. Mr. Asher, I see you wasted no time.
00:58:58I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan, but spending a million dollars on her ring is a little over the top, don't you think?
00:59:06Nothing. In my humble opinion, only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.
00:59:14You two really make a beautiful couple.
00:59:18By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing. Maybe in the future we could work together?
00:59:24You can speak to me about any future book deals. I'm also Jonathan's agent.
00:59:30Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media. Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.
00:59:39Today you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.
00:59:43During my acceptance speech, I am going to announce the scandalous affair of Anne and Henry, and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.
00:59:57Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.
01:00:08Now, for tonight's main event, please join me in welcoming this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
01:00:18the author of the critically acclaimed novel The Burning Bush,
01:00:23Mr. Jonathan Asher. Please, come to the podium.
01:00:28I'm going to be like crazy. I have to see what I want to say.
01:00:38Excuse me.
01:00:47Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
01:00:53Who is this woman? What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious event?
01:01:07Oh, my God. I know her. That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
01:01:15Mom, what are you doing here? This is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
01:01:20I'm warning you, don't start anything.
01:01:23Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
01:01:29Ah, I know what she's doing.
01:01:33Jonathan, she got all dressed up so she could barge in here to this event and beg for you to come back.
01:01:39In all honesty, a spatula and an apron better suits you.
01:01:46And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you, who would I know? She's sorely mistaken.
01:01:55Babe, you are too sweet.
01:02:01Oh, in case you haven't heard, your husband...
01:02:08Oh, no. Your ex-husband has already proposed to me.
01:02:13Just days ago you were begging to grow old with me and now you've already proposed to another woman?
01:02:20Talk about jumping the gun.
01:02:22Now that I'm free of you, you filthy gold digger, I've decided to move on with my life. Start a new one.
01:02:29On our first day officially together, he gave me this million-dollar diamond ring.
01:02:36What did you get after 25 years?
01:02:41A little plastic hotel pen.
01:02:47Go ahead and laugh. Once I take back everything that belongs to me, you won't be laughing anymore.
01:02:55Babe, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore. Your husband, your child, the home that you put your whole life and soul into.
01:03:05It's all mine.
01:03:09Everything that belongs to you?
01:03:12Oh, come on, Anne. Good luck with that.
01:03:15We don't owe you anything.
01:03:18Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
01:03:22Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
01:03:24But it's too late.
01:03:26Even without you, Mr. Asher's reputation will let us dominate the publishing world.
01:03:31The publishing world.
01:03:34Are you sure about that?
01:03:36Don't try to bluff, Mom.
01:03:37Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar of Roy Publishing House.
01:03:41Ever since you kicked out your biggest author, now you're going to be the laughing stock of the entire publishing world.
01:03:46Miss Roy, you really shouldn't have gone against us.
01:03:50Your biggest mistake was believing you were more than just a sheltered housewife.
01:03:56So because I was a housewife, you all think it's okay to humiliate me?
01:04:02I mean, look around, Mom.
01:04:05Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.
01:04:08His reputation.
01:04:10His prestige.
01:04:11They all just want to revel in his success.
01:04:16You know the company can't survive without him.
01:04:21So you're all here to grab a piece of Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.
01:04:28Well, there's just one little problem.
01:04:31It's all fake.
01:04:33What does she mean by that?
01:04:39Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
01:04:47How pathetic.
01:04:49I'm guessing that she neglected her husband during their marriage.
01:04:53And now that she's tossed aside, she's finally regretting it.
01:04:57What an ignorant woman.
01:04:58Jonathan, did you forget how your books were actually written?
01:05:05The acknowledgements you wrote at the front?
01:05:08The acknowledgements were written for me.
01:05:11I'm Jonathan's real muse.
01:05:14After he ditched his basic boring housewife like you,
01:05:18now Jonathan can be inspired to write even better novels.
01:05:22Oh, his real muse.
01:05:28That's beautiful.
01:05:30Did you inspire him with all of your lacy underwear?
01:05:35You think you can humiliate me?
01:05:39Look at me.
01:05:41I'm gorgeous, seductive, like a luxury purse.
01:05:46You're just a filthy kitchen rat.
01:05:47Jonathan, it seems that you haven't told your new fiance the truth yet.
01:06:00But don't worry.
01:06:01I can do that right now.
01:06:03The truth is that the copyrights to Jonathan Asher's novels
01:06:08do not belong to him.
01:06:17That's right.
01:06:19The copyrights were transferred to me.
01:06:22We wanted to make sure you didn't get one cent from the royalties.
01:06:26You transferred the copyrights to your mistress?
01:06:29I've known you for 25 years and in all those 25 years you were a stingy miser.
01:06:34Lily's my true love.
01:06:36And she's now my fiance, so everything that belongs to me belongs to her.
01:06:40Mr. Asher, you're a real romantic.
01:06:44And it was all my idea, Mom.
01:06:47Now that we kicked you out of the house, don't even think about coming for our wealth.
01:06:56You hit me?
01:06:58I can't believe you just hit me!
01:07:00I should have taught you a lesson a long time ago.
01:07:03Then maybe you would have grown into a person who knows right from wrong.
01:07:06Get off.
01:07:08Jonathan.
01:07:10You, you're the boldest liar of them all.
01:07:13You know damn well that those copyrights belong to me.
01:07:15You have no right to transfer them to your whores!
01:07:19Jonathan.
01:07:21What is she talking about?
01:07:22Oh God, don't.
01:07:23Didn't you write all of your own novels?
01:07:24Don't believe some ravings of a mad woman, darling.
01:07:34This is your last warning.
01:07:38If you don't get the hell out of here, you are gonna regret it.
01:07:42I'm not going anywhere.
01:07:46Today, I'm exposing the truth.
01:07:49Jonathan.
01:07:51Hmm?
01:07:52What in the world is she talking about?
01:07:55Here it goes.
01:07:57Here it goes.
01:07:58There he is.
01:07:59There he is.

01:26:52housewife to establish better standards you couldn't even keep your own house in order
01:27:00they'll trust ann roy they'll trust the heiress of the roy empire and the true author of this

01:27:42station together well you are right to assume that someone's going to jail tonight oh mr harper
01:27:50i know you just arrived so you probably haven't heard but you two are done for once news of your
01:27:59filthy affair gets out the board members will kick you both out of the company
01:28:04then mr asher will be asked to take over as ceo that's a pretty good plan you got there except for
01:28:14one little hiccup and predicted everything you were going to do one step ahead the whole time
01:28:18that she even planned a little surprise for this exact occasion
01:28:26this here is a report from a forensic trace analyst we recovered some shards of a burnt manuscript from
01:28:32the asher family fireplace and it confirms the aldermen's in the burnt writing and the results
01:28:38confirmed the handwriting and all the papers in there were that of miss ann roy
