Minute Drama
America’s Favorite Ex Husband #realshort - Full Movie
Transcript
00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You didn't still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:05I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving.
00:02:54When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And my self-exorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously.
00:04:52Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever.
00:05:06My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:17And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:36The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey mom, how you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, mom.
00:06:33And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:03Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden ass, she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden ass, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't fall for Hollywood, she didn't
00:08:15It destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in.
00:08:19Rest in love.
00:08:33Sabrina!
00:08:34Don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina.
00:08:41Don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:44Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real you.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see you!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:38Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel.
00:09:47Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:51Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:06Oh, man, I'm careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:32Daniel.
00:11:33If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42What?
00:11:43For real?
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:55I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code.
00:12:36So, anyways.
00:12:37Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:41Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:10Contract sign.
00:13:13It's okay.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:49Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood.
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:09Are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually.
00:14:12This is totally a date.
00:14:13All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:55This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:00Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:10He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:36That is, if mom's cool with it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on.
00:15:48Let's give him a show.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:16Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Felicia.
00:16:34It didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:01Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I've got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:35I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:31No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm willing to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:52Daniel!
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:05Oh!
00:19:07Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:42Ah, Preston.
00:19:43I think you're a bit of fun.
00:19:46You need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48Oh, my...
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:11My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:38Oh, my God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I...
00:20:52What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59You two look great together.
00:21:00Daniel, I...
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:07And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um, I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:36Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel?
00:21:53I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:57If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:53I've got some.
00:22:58What do you need?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I'm not going to need some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:12Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:20Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:43I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No!
00:23:57Not to play with them!
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:03It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:10Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant like you.
00:24:35God, what the hell?
00:24:36You just saw me.
00:24:37Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:02Man of the house, please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart.
00:25:12Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:34You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:02What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:15What?
00:26:16That would be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:23I didn't.
00:26:24What the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little Albers was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go.
00:26:44I'm sorry.
00:26:45No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:50You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:11You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you safe.
00:27:41Be here overnight to pump you with the liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh...
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:34It's a small wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:50and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:52Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:22Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:50I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:54I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:11And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:27I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:52Sabrina.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking...
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:08I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55Wait.
00:32:06I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:19I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:26I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I heard from here.
00:33:20We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38Is that how you talked to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break,
00:33:45we need to finalize our entertainment contract
00:33:47and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address where it may be.
00:33:53I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:34:14and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:32We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Oh.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of,
00:34:54I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:00What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:24Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid head out
00:35:46because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags,
00:35:56abused Sabrina's kid,
00:35:58and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina
00:36:09for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This is all I'll stop, what's that?
00:36:14You are revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey, how do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting
00:36:24their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:33so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:35What the hell?
00:36:58Daniel, what happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God, Daniel.
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere
00:37:19and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy, Dad came in here
00:37:22and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No, no, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here,
00:37:28Daniel would have manhandled Jackson
00:37:30in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel, is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh, yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:48Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:37:54But, but, Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:33Come on, Jack.
00:38:40Daniel!
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:44Then let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life
00:38:50she's grown used to
00:38:51after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:01Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:08I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:39:13to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name
00:39:23next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just drive.
00:39:43I used to beg for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:05Stay back.
00:40:07I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:11What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:24So what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone,
00:40:34we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in his bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come here.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson,
00:41:21and I'm ready to be the man
00:41:22that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad
00:41:26to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son,
00:41:30your mother,
00:41:31even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance
00:41:47ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care
00:41:50of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside
00:42:08holding his head
00:42:09after he spoke
00:42:09to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12Oh, no.
00:42:16God, Daniel,
00:42:17where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry,
00:42:19but the number
00:42:20you are trying to reach
00:42:21is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:23No.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel
00:42:48wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much
00:42:59to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:21Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero,
00:43:25Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:26The waves,
00:43:27all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:39All this time,
00:43:49who's going to leave me?
00:44:05It can't be.
00:44:06Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:38I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:53Daniel?
00:44:53Daniel?
00:44:57No, it's mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not paying attention.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:06He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:11We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:25I'm hungry.
00:45:34I'm hungry.
00:45:35Dad!
00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:42I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:52I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:56He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:09should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:11and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:23You have a dad!
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired
00:46:46to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you,
00:47:08is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:11What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:28I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:43What?
00:47:44How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice,
00:48:07wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:48:27you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation.
00:49:28How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:35Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:08He is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:34I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Take a Silver Box that's already
00:50:39generated a considerable buzz for his new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest
00:51:14about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really
00:51:23is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:29back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:33Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:51:43hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:52:16actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:25Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:47And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar Vaz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I know if it's not.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09So, Vaz just got a head start.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina, you don't need him!
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame!
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:52Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Think of the press, what this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:33We'll never tell.
00:57:38Oh, my God, babe.
00:57:39Do not.
00:57:39But he truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:49The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:57And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me out of it.

00:58:07I'm okay.
00:58:07You're the sexiest man alive.
