00:09:25Oh my God, of course, babe.

00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.

00:09:28Are you kidding?

00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?

00:09:33Oh, there he is!

00:09:35The assistant!

00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.

00:09:39God, how 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.

00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.

00:09:55Daniel!

00:09:55Oh.

00:09:56Don't embarrass me.

00:09:57No, it's fine.

00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?

00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale 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?

00:10:15Yeah.

00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.

00:10:20That's fine.

00:10:21That's fine.

00:10:23Just relax, okay?

00:10:25Be nice.

00:10:26Be nice.

00:10:28Be nice.

00:10:30Be nice.

00:10:31Be nice.

00:10:32Be nice.

00:10:33Some people never change.

00:10:36But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart

00:10:41again.

00:10:42Yeah, it's nice.

00:10:44But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.

00:10:54Oh, careful.

00:10:56You all right?

00:10:59I'm still starving.

00:11:01Make me some food.

00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.

00:11:05Stew?

00:11:05Ew.

00:11:06What is this, a soup kitchen?

00:11:08I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!

00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.

00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.

00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:11:21What?

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.

00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.

00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.

00:11:43I didn't realize that's why no one bought your scripts, they were so dull.

00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!

00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.

00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?

00:11:56My treat.

00:11:57Here we go.

00:11:58What?

00:11:59What?

00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:12:02I don't mind.

00:12:03All of you insist.

00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.

00:12:05Okay.

00:12:06Oh.

00:12:07So...

00:12:08Okay.

00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so...

00:12:14Anyways.

00:12:15Come on, Ben.

00:12:16Let's go.

00:12:17Oops.

00:12:18Great.

00:12:19Gotcha.

00:12:20There we go.

00:12:21Oh.

00:12:22There's Paps.

00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.

00:12:26Last time.

00:12:27I promise.

00:12:28Yes.

00:12:29You're right.

00:12:30It is the last time.

00:12:33Hey, guys.

00:12:34Hi.

00:12:36Jackson.

00:12:37Jackson.

00:12:38Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?

00:12:47Contract's fine.

00:12:49It's over.

00:12:51Why 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.

00:12:58After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?

00:13:03She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.

00:13:09Sabrina Donovan?

00:13:10I could scream.

00:13:11I'm literally obsessed with you.

00:26:15this when i get home clean this up soon you won't be coming home to me ever again oh she's mine now loser

00:26:35hello 9-1-1 what's your emergency i'm bleeding out i think i hit an artery i need an ambulance now now

00:26:53you did lose a lot of blood so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid

00:26:58to be honest that's i could use a break from home trouble with the missus

00:27:05uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that come in here are miserable

00:27:12i shouldn't be saying this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood true love story holding

00:27:20hands wiping tears i've been obsessed with him since breaking the eyes you said um couple i wasn't

00:27:29sure but i checked the visitation logs and it's official she even helped me reposition preston when

00:27:36his ivy was twisted she was so sweet

00:27:43need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's it's an old wound

00:27:50i tore it actually um 10 years ago sweet and caring so preston's found the wi-fi always wanted

00:28:01he only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces

00:28:11fuck it i'm gonna get my shitty go

00:28:16mr lee i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film i have a script i've been sitting on

00:28:21it needs the right producer i know it's a long shot but i'd be honored if you'd read it

00:28:36where have you been i kept calling i i started to feel like one of my stalkers huh

00:28:43what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston

00:28:51seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend

00:28:58yeah that's what you want to call it i i just i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was probably

00:29:08crossing a line it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at

00:29:20a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always

00:29:26do what's best for your career but i just i don't want you to be upset with me

00:29:35seriously i i care about you

00:29:42i love it i've known you for 14 years i know when you're angry really i didn't think you paid attention

00:29:49i pay attention since when do i not pay attention she signed the papers without reading them that's

00:30:44a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour

00:30:50ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have
