Short filmTranscript
00:00Do I have feelings for Anna?
00:14No.
00:15You too convinced the Kingsley that you weren't my real parents.
00:19As promised.
00:28All of that taxi.
00:30Where are we?
00:43Looks like one of those leftover housing projects they forgot to tear down.
00:49Sam, I need your help.
00:52This integral is getting sketchier by the second.
00:54You were totally right.
01:01Anna is a fraud.
01:03Look, I got two Instagrams.
01:05One for Anna Sinclair the socialite and one for Anna Sinclair the nobody from nowhere.
01:11Oh yeah, I looked her family up.
01:12Turns out, not from the Upper East Side.
01:14They're from Queens.
01:15She's no socialite.
01:19She's just another parasite like I thought.
01:21Her parents unemployed for years.
01:24What's this?
01:25Oh yeah, it turns out she's an artist.
01:28Goes to the Callahan Conservatory.
01:30Chewing for that summer broad thing until Lila won it instead.
01:33I think I'm some master manipulator.
01:37I think you have me confused with your girlfriend.
01:39She's the one who can't even explain her price when you're painting.
01:43We gotta get to that conservatory.
01:45I have to find out exactly who Anna Sinclair is.
01:48You think you can ignore my calls and play fancy fucking artists while your mom and I rot back at home?
02:07If you don't send us more money, I'll come to that school.
02:10And I'll make sure everyone knows what an ungrateful little liar you really are.
02:16I can't let my parents drag me down.
02:19Preston is my only hope.
02:23This time, no one will stop me from escaping my family and finally getting what I deserve.
02:32Anna, you are the best artist we've had in this program in years.
02:37I understand that that semester abroad was important to you, but you can't quit on us now.
02:42That program wasn't just important.
02:45It was everything.
02:46I didn't just lose Paris.
02:48I lost the only shot I had at escaping my nightmare parents and following my dreams.
02:53Preston's my last chance now.
02:55My only hope.
02:58Thank you, sir.
03:00It's time for me to go.
03:01Mr. Whitmore, I am pleased to see you take such an interest in our students' work.
03:14We would certainly be honored to have something from our program hanging in the Whitmore Gallery.
03:20I remember this one from the competition.
03:24Yes, of course.
03:25This is the winner.
03:26Are these by the same artists?
03:29No.
03:30Fracture was the only piece that Ms. Kingsley completed this year.
03:33Those were completed by another student.
03:35She is incredibly talented.
03:41Puts her entire life on campuses.
03:44An abusive father.
03:46A mother who sells her work to settle gambling payments.
03:50All right here on display.
03:52It's so similar to Fracture.
03:59It's so raw.
04:03It is, isn't it?
04:05It's a shame to see such talent wasted.
04:09Anna just dropped out of our program this morning.
04:11Anna?
04:12Anna, is he clear?
04:12Yes.
04:30She's the one who can't even explain her price when he's painting.
04:37Myla didn't paint Fracture.
04:39Anna did.
04:40Why didn't she drop out?
04:41She lost a semester at broad competition to Ms. Kingsley.
04:45And, well, let's just say she was really relying on it.
04:50Where is she?
04:51Where's Anna?
04:52Oh, well, she's in the gallery packing up.
05:01Okay, wait.
05:02So, Lila stole Anna's shot at the summer art program in Paris.
05:07So, Anna gets all glammed up.
05:09Becomes the perfect socialite girlfriend for president.
05:11Gets her own shot at Paris.
05:14Just keep a look at me.
05:21My dream of becoming an artist started here.
05:25If my parents had their way, you would die here, too.
05:28But I won't let that happen.
05:30Paris, here I come.
05:31What are you doing here?
05:37What are you doing here?
05:46You stupid little Kirk.
05:50I'm daring you to quit this program.
05:53I don't even care.
05:54You guys didn't want me to paint anyway.
05:56If Lila hadn't stolen my painting, I would have been long gone.
06:02You steal your art.
06:04I sold it to her.
06:06You need to forget about this ridiculous dream of going to Paris.
06:10You cannot escape your family.
06:13You're not my family.
06:15You're a monster.
06:16Oh, your mother and I wasted the best years of our lives raising you.
06:22You don't deserve to live abroad peacefully while we suffer.
06:26Where do you think you're going?
06:53Irving, this is a school.
06:54Y'all called a ding.
06:55No, no, no, get off of me.
07:08Get your hands off her.
07:10Max, what are you doing here?
07:28Anna, stay with me.
07:30Sam, get in here now.
07:33Not so fast.
07:35Hold it, man.
07:35Hold him down.
07:36What the hell's going on here?
07:41This asshole snuck on the campus and attacked Anna.
07:43She's my daughter and I can discipline her how I want.
07:47My father spends a lot of money at this school, Dean Blue.
07:50I don't want this piece of shit setting foot in this building ever again.
07:53Get him the fuck out.
07:54Yes, sir.
07:54Of course.
07:55Of course, Mr. Whitmore.
07:56Get him out.
07:57Quick, quick.
07:57Get off me, you brats.
08:00Mr. Whitmore, please don't sue.
08:03Mr. Whitmore.
08:06Why is Brooks here?
08:08And why is he holding Anna?
08:10Mr. Whitmore.
08:11Let me go.
08:13She's my daughter.
08:14I can do what I want.
08:16That's the man who sold Fracture.
08:17He's Anna's dad?
08:19That was her painting?
08:21Anna's dad is a total psycho.
08:22I can't believe someone in our class has parents like that.
08:26Wait.
08:27Anna goes here?
08:28Yeah, she's like the best painter in the freshman class.
08:31You would know that if you bothered to show up more than once a semester.
08:35Her family's poor, but I didn't realize things were that bad.
08:38That explains why she's dropping out.
08:41Anna really is broke.
08:43I knew she was pretending to be a rich socialite.
08:46I stole her painting and I won the competition with it.
08:49Now she's trying to steal my man to get revenge on me.
08:51We'll see about that.
09:15Girl, cops just called and his dad confessed to selling her paintings.
09:21Settle his gambling debts.
09:23That is how Lila got Fracture and won the competition.
09:27She's in the bad person.
09:28Just a desperate one.
09:30But after meeting her dad, you can even blame her.
09:35Can you give us a minute?
09:40I judged you before I ever tried to understand you.
09:43Never gave you a chance.
09:44My apartment.
10:05Stay.
10:11Stay.
10:13Need rest.
10:18Why are you looking at me like that?
10:19I think you know.
10:20Please don't tell me you think I staged all this just so I could end up in your bed.
10:30No.
10:32Anna Sinclair.
10:34Upper East Side Socialite.
10:36Daughter.
10:37The Wall Street Tycoon.
10:38If all that was true, then what was that back at the art school?
10:48Again, Anna.
10:53Think you know everything, don't you?
10:55Why did you think you could get away with this?
10:58Like everyone wouldn't see right through you.
11:01You're right.
11:03I'm not a socialite.
11:05Except born into a rich Manhattan family.
11:09I grew up in public housing in Queens.
11:12We didn't have that much money, but...
11:15I could paint.
11:17So I worked really hard.
11:19And I got a scholarship in art school.
11:24Do you know how hard it is?
11:27To change your destiny when you have nothing?
11:31I don't...
11:32I don't...
11:32I don't...
11:32I don't say anything.
11:37You think you can judge me?
11:40You have everything.
11:42Everything.
11:44And I just wanted one chance at...
11:46It's something.
11:50You can tell Preston whatever you want about me.
11:53Stay out of your guys' lives forever.
11:55I don't know.
12:01Sir, I have Ms. Sinclair's medicine.
12:30I'll take you home when you're feeling better.
12:45I don't need to pry, but...
12:47Are you Brooks' girlfriend?
12:49Yeah.
12:50Sorry, it's just that, well...
12:52You're the first girl he's ever brought home.
12:53So I thought maybe we're something special to him.
13:00What the hell is going on here?
13:07Get your hands off her!
13:10If Brooks wants nothing to do with me...
13:12Then why does he treat me like I'm his to protect?
13:18Brooks.
13:19Thank you for today.
13:22I know I said that you could tell Preston whatever you wanted, but can you...
13:25I don't talk shit behind people's backs, you know.
13:29And you're right.
13:31I did have everything handed to me.
13:34That doesn't mean I don't know what it's like to want something and fight for it.
13:41Your secrets stay with me.
13:53Don't thank me.
13:55Just...
14:00Go.
14:05Get upstairs.
14:06Go.
14:06Go.
14:07Go.
14:07Go.
14:07Go.
14:07Go.
14:07Go.
14:07Go.
14:08Go.
14:08Go.
14:09Go.
14:09Go.
14:09Go.
14:10Go.
14:11Go.
14:11Go.
14:12Catching feelings for Brooks was not a part of my plan, but after everything I faked, he's
14:40the only part that feels real.
14:41My idiot of a husband disappears again.
14:42And now my ungrateful daughter won't answer my calls.
14:43That bitch still owes me money.
14:44What do you want?
14:45Who the hell are you?
14:47Are you Anna Sinclair's mom?
14:48Are you Anna Sinclair's mom?
14:49Are you Anna Sinclair's mom?
14:54Anna Sinclair's mom?
14:55I am.
14:56What are you doing here?
14:57What did that little shit do now?
15:01What are you doing here?
15:02What did that little shit do now?
15:04Right?
15:06What did that little shit do now?
15:08Yeah.
15:10Back to her.
15:13Fucking hell.
15:16迫
15:18What did that little shit do now?
15:26Your daughter called the police on your husband, and he's been locked up for a few days now.
15:43She's also been spending time with Preston Kingsley of the Upper East Side Kingsleys.
15:50Sounds like one of those trust fund breads.
15:53Sure is.
15:54She is planning to go to Paris with him.
15:57Paris!
15:58If that little tramp thinks she can go live the good life and leave us behind, she's got another thing called...
16:04I thought you might say that.
16:06I have a plan.
16:08Why should I trust you?
16:10I don't even know you.
16:13How's this for an introduction?
16:14Do everything I say, and I will pay your husband's bail and teach Anna a lesson she will never forget.
16:30Whatever you want, I'm in.
16:33Your dirty secret's out, Anna.
16:36And this Saturday at the debutante ball, I'm going to make sure Brooks sees you for the poor little fraud you are.
16:41Do you really need me to help you pick a tux?
16:48Yes, I do.
16:49This is the debutante ball.
16:51I can't just wear any tux.
16:53I need something special.
16:56Something Anna will really like.
16:58Why don't you just bring her then?
17:04You're her escort.
17:06Actually, I, uh...
17:08Maybe I was wrong
17:12Maybe it was meant to be you all the more
17:19Maybe I was so afraid of being strong
17:26Anna, you look beautiful.
17:32And, uh, Brooks is going to be here?
17:34Do you find your tux?
17:39Oh, yes.
17:40Wait here.
17:41I'll go put it on now.
17:49Preston said you're not going to the debutante ball.
17:53I'm not the escort type.
17:57Hmm.
18:01Oh, shit.
18:04Let me help you out with this.
18:18I know what I came here for
18:20Throw that jacket on the floor
18:23Kissing me goodnight
18:24It's just one more lie
18:26You tell me
18:28Pulling me in
18:30Pushing me away
18:31I love the game
18:33We always say
18:34Tell me to go
18:35I always stay
18:36What are you doing, Brooks?
18:37I want to fight
18:38I'll make you ready
18:39What are you doing, Brooks?
18:45Nothing.
18:47Yay.
18:49What happened?
18:50Uh, my necklace fell off.
18:52You're just helping me fix it.
18:53Huh
18:54If you need help or anything, just ask me
18:59Miss Sinclair
19:03I have some shoes to show you
19:06Don't do this to me, Brooks
19:15What the hell are you talking about?
19:17I finally find the girl that makes me happy
19:20And then you just
19:21What?
19:24Listen to yourself, Preston
19:26You finally found someone
19:28So what about Chloe?
19:30Do you really care about Anna?
19:33Or are you just using her as a distraction?
19:36Bro
19:46Come on, it is so obvious that you like Anna
19:50But what?
19:51You are going to let her go to the Debbie Pomp Ball with Preston?
19:56It's what Preston wants
19:57And honestly, it's what she needs
19:58I'm not going to get in the way of that
20:00Okay, look
20:01I get it
20:03Preston is your boy, okay?
20:04But what you have with Anna is real
20:08Don't you think that it's worth-
20:09I'm done talking about this
20:11Let me help you out with this
20:25I'm so close to getting out of here
20:44There's no going back now
20:46Wow
20:57You look like you stepped out of my dreams
21:03I kind of feel like I'm in one
21:05What's wrong?
21:16I'll be right back
21:17That was us
21:25I, uh, brought you something
21:36Speedfall
21:37Speedfall
21:50Yours kept falling off
21:52So I thought you deserved something
21:54Nicer
21:56I love it
22:03I love it
22:04I gotta go
22:19So you're really not coming to the ball
22:24I'm, uh, going to London
22:29So this is it?
22:32It is
22:44You can tell her how you feel
22:48But that's not why she's here
22:50I'm not what she wants
22:52Cause I-
22:53Rex
22:58Tell him how I feel
23:08I mean, would he want me?
23:11Brooks
23:11Have a safe flight
23:17So you, uh
23:42You tell her?
23:47Let's go
23:48I thought Brooks was just a cocky asshole
23:54I thought I could never trust him
23:56But he kept my secret
23:58I'm gonna be late
24:00Where's Preston?
24:05You've reached Preston's voicemail
24:07I'm not here right now
24:08But if you leave a message
24:09It's gonna be okay
24:13Don't cry
24:15It's gonna be okay
24:17Preston?
24:23Hey
24:23What's going on?
24:28Hey
24:28What's going on?
24:30Uh
24:31This
24:32This is, um
24:33A friend
24:34Please
24:36It's, um
24:38Nice
24:39Meeting you
24:40Sorry
24:42I
24:42Just
24:44Came to say bye to Preston
24:45Before he leaves
24:46Stavaris for the summer
24:48You
24:50Look beautiful
24:53Thank you
24:55I should
24:57I should go
24:59She used to do this
25:07All the time
25:07I should take her to a hospital
25:09You go without me
25:11I'll meet you in there
25:12When I can
25:12Get here now
25:27It's showtime
25:28Good evening

25:34Please join me
25:36In welcoming
25:37The newest debutantes
25:38Of New York society
25:40Come on

25:50Daughter of Richard and Helen Pembroke
25:54Accompanied by her escort
25:56Mr. Harrison Well

26:15Miss Anna
26:28Sinclair
26:29Daughter of Joshua
26:30And Eliza Sinclair
26:32Accompanied by her escort
26:34Mr. Preston Kingsley
26:36Oh my god
26:45I'm so second head
26:47Embarrassed for her right now
26:48Is your date
26:49Not even bothered to show up
26:50Surprise, Anna
27:12The debutante ball
27:17Is such an important night
27:19In any young woman's life
27:20I couldn't let your real parents
27:22Miss out on it
27:23I couldn't let your real parents miss out on it
27:45You think you're too good to invite us to your fancy party
27:47I spent days in jail
27:49Because of you
27:50Did you see us in jail?
27:53What are the criminals in?
27:56Anna, what's going on?
27:57Who are these people?
27:59This is Anna's real family
28:01Those are just actors she hired to pretend to be her parents
28:05She's not even rich
28:07She's a nobody
28:08Anna, is this true?
28:11What do you have to say for yourself?
28:13Are they your parents?
28:15They can't give up now
28:16They can't let them hurt me anymore
28:18No
28:20They're not my parents
28:22You little shit
28:24We raised that ungrateful bread
28:26And she acts like she doesn't even know us
28:28Cut the act
28:29You're a fraud
28:31And I'll prove it
28:32To everyone
28:33Game over, bitch
28:50Is a liar
28:54And a fraud
28:56She's just a broke-ass art student from Queens
28:59Who's pretending to be a socialite
29:00So she can steal my man
29:02And that stops now
29:03Violet, you have had a problem with me
29:08Since the first night we met
29:09And you're insecure
29:11So I tried to be understanding
29:12But, I mean
29:13Come on
29:14You see
29:14Fake photos?
29:17You're embarrassing me in front of my parents
29:19And I
29:19I just
29:20I can't forgive that
29:22Oh
29:23My god
29:24She's lying
29:26She's still lying
29:27She's still fucking lying
29:30You're an embarrassment to this family
29:33I don't know you
29:35Give it up, Benna
29:36You're coming with me
29:38Hold up, hold up
29:39So you're her parents
29:41Can you prove it?
29:43Yes
29:43Two years ago
29:45She caught her leg
29:46There's still a scar there
29:48Only her real mother would know that
29:50Shoot it
30:02Shoot it, now
30:02Shoot it, now
30:08You can't tell me what to do
30:10Yes, I can, you little
30:11That's enough
30:12You won't talk to my daughter that way
30:15Anna's my daughter
30:16And I can
30:17A leg
30:22Who the fuck are you, lady?
30:24I'm her mother
30:25Why don't we settle this?
30:31Anna
30:31Lift up your dress
30:33And if you don't have a scar there
30:35Then there's no problem
30:37Right?
30:37How dare you
30:39This is a debutante ball
30:40That's some trailer park trash
30:42Strip club
30:43My daughter is not lifting up anything for anyone
30:46He's obviously stalling for her
30:49I'm sorry, Anna
30:51But we need to know the truth
30:53There's no scar
30:55We believe you
30:56And make sure that Lila never bothers you ever again
30:59Well, I'm not gonna allow this
31:01Our family has never been treated with such disrespect
31:04Bill, let's go
31:08Get your hands off her
31:09So everyone who you really are
31:11You ungrateful little slut
31:13And get off of me
31:14And stay fine
31:15My stuff
31:16There's no scar
31:35I told you
31:38Are we done here?
31:42Lila, I think we're all pretty sick of your little game
31:44No, no, no, no
31:45There's a scar there
31:47She's just hiding it underneath that tattoo
31:48There's no way your little tramp stamp can cover up the truth
31:53Dr. Angelo?
32:02Inspect the tattoo
32:03And tell us if there's a scar there
32:05This is ridiculous
32:08Call my lawyer
32:10How dare you treat our daughter like this
32:13Well?
32:26Is there a scar?
32:33There's no scar
32:34What?
32:35What?
32:35No, no
32:36There's a scar
32:37I put it there
32:38What a beauty
32:39They don't need to do that
32:41How is this possible?
32:49Yeah
32:50Lila's going nuclear on Anna, dude
32:53She brought her real parents here
32:54Shit is hitting the fan
32:57Where's Preston?
32:58No idea
32:59But you need to get here now
33:01Turn around now
33:03Look, if my real parents show up
33:12You have to stay in character
33:13Right?
33:13You can't back down
33:14So if they say something about a scar
33:17Just follow my lead
33:17I had it removed years ago
33:19It should be totally untraceable
33:20Well, Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley
33:24Do you believe me now?
33:26I'm so sorry, Anna
33:28We should have believed you
33:30Your daughter needs to apologize
33:31There's no way I'm apologizing to this bitch
33:36She's a liar
33:37And I
33:38Set your mouth
33:40You have embarrassed his family enough for one day
33:43But, but Dad
33:44Get it
33:45Credit cards
33:47Give them to me
33:48Dad, no
33:52You're going to live on your own money for a while
33:55And the house in the Hamptons is gone for the summer
33:58You think I'm going to let you get away with this?
34:07Security!
34:11Security!
34:13Get back!
34:14Put your knife down!
34:15Put your knife down!
34:16Let her go
34:17Get back!
34:21Wherever
34:22Let's take her home where she belongs
34:24Get away
34:24Get away
34:26Get away
34:26Get your hands off of her
34:52How dare you touch her
34:58Call the police
35:06My family is pressing full charges
35:09Bruxy, you told me you were in London
35:12I
35:12Get your hands off of me
35:13I can't even look at you
35:16Because of her?
35:19Are you kidding me?
35:20She's a liar
35:21If anyone's a liar
35:23It's you
35:23I know all about your prized painting
35:27It wasn't yours
35:29It was Anna's
35:31What?
35:33What are you talking about?
35:35Yeah
35:36Yeah, it was her
35:37She made us steal my daughter's paintings
35:39Yeah
35:49We would have never sold our sweetheart's work
35:52If that bitch hadn't made us
35:54Yeah, let us go
35:55We'll say all about it
35:56Get them out of here
35:57Take her out of here
36:00No
36:00This isn't fair
36:02She's the liar
36:03Not me
36:03Get your pants off of me
36:05Are you okay?
36:16Came back
36:16Thought you were gone for good
36:19Anna
36:23I'm sorry
36:24I should have never left you
36:26I should have never taken my eyes off you
36:29I promise
36:31I will never let that happen again
36:33Sorry
36:36I mean, you're here now
36:38It's what matters
36:39I should probably get down there
36:44I'm the only way to you go down there alone
36:46Brooks!
36:58I'll take it from here
37:03I don't think so
37:05What are you talking about?
37:07This has nothing to do with you
37:08You left Anna when she needed you most
37:11Go home
37:12You've already lost her
37:14I knew you were into her
37:15I could tell you were jealous and that I met her
37:17Maybe you should worry less about me
37:19More about her
37:21You have no business being here
37:22She's my date
37:24Anna
37:24Tell him
37:25Kristen
37:30I'm sorry, but I can't be with you
37:33What?
37:41Truth is, I've been lying to you this whole time
37:43I'm not a real socialite
37:46Your sister, she stole my painting
37:49My chance to go to Paris
37:50So
37:50Pretending to like you was my way to get that back
37:54I'm so sorry, Preston
37:58No!
38:05I'm always second to you, Brooks
38:07Always!
38:08I have lived in your shadow
38:10And I've been fine with it
38:12You're just pushing me aside like I was never even there
38:14What?
38:16For someone like a fake nobody like her?
38:18Yeah
38:22That's right
38:23You heard me
38:24She's a fake
38:25She told me everything
38:27She's not one of us
38:30She is totally broke
38:32You can't talk about her like that
38:33He's right
38:37He's right
38:40I'm broke
38:43I wasn't raised in penthouses and private schools
38:51My real life is kind of a nightmare
38:55So I made a new one
38:57One where I could get close to someone who's rich enough
39:02Could take me to Paris
39:05And I could pursue my dream of becoming an artist
39:09But the truth is
39:12I never needed anyone to take me to Paris
39:16I just needed to believe that I could do it
39:20I just needed to know that
39:22I didn't have to pretend to be someone else to chase my dreams
39:25That only I can make my dreams come true
39:29And I will
39:32Thanks, I'm so sorry
39:49You know
39:51I know the real you
39:54And that's the girl
39:57I'm falling for
39:59Rich or poor
40:01It doesn't matter
40:03I just want you
40:06I just want us
40:09My name is Anna Sinclair
40:21Public school art student
40:23Turned Upper East Side Scandal
40:24I used to think the only way I could be somebody
40:30Was to fake it till you make it
40:32But now
40:37The first time
40:39Being me finally feels like enough
