America's Favorite Ex-Husband (2025) - FULL | Reelshort
Transcript
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.
00:07:31we got our start.
00:07:40We got our fix to 42 seats.
00:07:43Let's go.
00:07:44We got our start.
00:07:45We got our side.
00:07:46You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:16Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:34No!
00:08:44Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:58I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:14Good to see ya!
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how 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, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, 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?
00:09:45Stop!
00:09:46I 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?
00:10:00Played 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.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:22That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:29Some 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.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:44But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:10:55Ooh, careful.
00:10:56You alright?
00:10:57I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:06Ew.
00:11:07What 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.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21I'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.
00:11:31Which 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.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My 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 wouldn't bite 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.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:59After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:03Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:04She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:16Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:17I could scream.
00:13:18I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:19Preston Eastwood.
00:13:20I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:23OMG.
00:13:24I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:26A scene that I wrote.
00:13:27Uncredited, of course.
00:13:28Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:29Wait.
00:13:30Are you two dating?
00:13:31Oh, well, actually.
00:13:32This is totally a date.
00:13:33All these years I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:34Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:35You're not really a part of my brand.
00:13:36Your brand?
00:13:37It's just, it's not a good thing.
00:13:38I've never seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:39OMG.
00:13:40I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:41A scene that I wrote.
00:13:42Uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait.
00:13:46Are 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.
00:13:57Do 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.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:30This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Are...
00:14:36Is this your son?
00:14:37I 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.
00:14:54My 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.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on, let's get Michelle.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here.
00:16:01Did 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.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:31You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket.
00:16:39So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:56Daniel, 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, 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 going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without 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.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is 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.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And 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 going to 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.
00:18:30After dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:32It's fun.
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.
00:18:40How lucky for him.
00:18:41He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:44Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:18:45Oh, okay.
00:18:46Listen, man, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:18:47You can trust me.
00:18:48Uh, Preston, I think you're at the restaurant.
00:18:49Oh, yeah.
00:18:50I'm trying to pick up a break.
00:18:51I'm trying to pick up a break.
00:18:52I'm trying to take a break.
00:18:53I'm trying to pick up a break.
00:18:54I'm trying to pick a break.
00:18:55You on the restaurant.
00:18:56Oh, wait.
00:18:57I'm trying to pick this up.
00:18:58I'm trying to pick up a break.
00:18:59Don't look at me like that.
00:19:00I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:01Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:03Well, but, I'm lucky for him.
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her
00:19:07and nothing happened.
00:19:09You can trust me.
00:19:11President, I think you're a good job.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:18Danielle, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:21When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care
00:19:24of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:30Just ignore him.
00:19:31He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking
00:19:34exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:36Danielle, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:40My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:55That's all I need to slip into her bed
00:19:57and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight
00:20:04so I could look after him?
00:20:06My God.
00:20:08God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really going to ask your husband
00:20:14if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:17No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what?
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:22You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:32And to think there was a time
00:20:41I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:43Um...
00:20:47I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:10Daniel?
00:21:11Daniel?
00:21:12Daniel?
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.
00:21:42Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:21:46If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:50There he is.
00:21:51God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:21:58God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:11Man.
00:22:12No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:14Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:16Mmm.
00:22:17Mmm.
00:22:18Mmm.
00:22:19Got some.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, 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.
00:22:29Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:31Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:41No?
00:22:42A 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.
00:22:54What'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.
00:23:14Ooh!
00:23:15No, it's not to play with them.
00:23:20You 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 bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don'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 man-servant like you.
00:23:55God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:24:01Call it a lesson.
00:24:02I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was!
00:24:05I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:11Ouch!
00:24:12I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
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.
00:24:30You're a washed up pack!
00:24:31Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:39A star?
00:24:40A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No!
00:24:47I'm not going!
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:49Preston!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:51Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:25:16You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:19What was that?
00:25:23What's going on?
00:25:27Daniel!
00:25:28What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:31Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:33What?
00:25:34You're so scared!
00:25:35You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:39I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:44You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:46I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:48He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:49It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:51Throw up!
00:25:52Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:54What 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 while I'm sorry.
00:26:02No!
00:26:03Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:10You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:13We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:14Come on.
00:26:15Clean this up!
00:26:16Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:26:56Now!
00:26:57keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid to be honest that's i could use a break from home
00:27:03trouble with the missus uh yeah it's pretty obvious most married folks that come in here
00:27:11are miserable i shouldn't be saying this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood
00:27:20true love story holding hands wiping tears i've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice
00:27:27you said um a couple i wasn't sure but i checked the visitation logs and it's official
00:27:35she even helped me reposition preston when his iv was twisted she was so sweet
00:27:44need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's it's an old wound i tore it actually um 10 years ago
00:27:54sweet and caring so preston's found the wi-fi i always wanted he only had to break her heart to
00:28:04get it and left me to pick up the pieces
00:28:06i don't get my shit in y'all mr lee i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film
00:28:21i have a script i've been sitting on and it needs the right producer i know it's a long
00:28:33shot but i'd be honored if you'd read it where have you been i kept calling i i started to feel like
00:28:41one of my stalkers huh what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston
00:28:51uh seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend
00:28:59yeah that's what you want to call it i i just
00:29:05i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was probably crossing a line
00:29:10it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at a relationship
00:29:22and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always do what's
00:29:27best for your career but i just i don't want you to be upset with me
00:29:33seriously i i care about you
00:29:43i'm not mad i've known you for 14 years i know when you're angry really i didn't think you paid
00:29:50attention i pay attention since when do i not pay attention she signed the papers without reading them
00:29:59that's all this marriage ever was to her a headline a performance sabrina
00:30:09sabrina i'm good you know what i hate fighting so let's just forget about this okay
00:30:15i was thinking we could revisit your script
00:30:22i gave that to you three years ago you tell me you finally read it well yeah the first ten pages
00:30:29but they're good the lead role is something i can really sink my teeth into i mean we have to do
00:30:35this me and you the lead actress and the writer director i gave up on that dream of us working
00:30:42together a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour
00:30:51ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have
00:30:58worked on me i would have melted in her hands now i just want to pack and get out of here
00:31:13i don't know what you do but i asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful
00:31:27i've had a lot of experience making it for you i'll be sure to tell him how you like it
00:31:31that's not what i meant i like it when you make it
00:31:35i'm not gonna always be here to make it i knew it you are mad that i brought preston back here i told
00:31:46you it was just a publicity stunt god it's not like our marriage is gonna get me on the cover of vanity
