00:00:00So I take it you do this a lot?
00:00:05Not really. So consider yourself lucky.
00:00:08I don't think you'd say that if you knew who I am.
00:00:10I don't need your backstory. I'm never gonna see you again.
00:00:14No, Alicia Brown. I will see you very soon.
00:00:30Miss Brown, this is a contract for your father to sell the house.
00:00:34No, this is my mother's house. You have no right to sell it.
00:00:37It's not your house.
00:00:38Poor thing. Won't even have a roof over her head.
00:00:42When your mother died, she passed ownership to your father.
00:00:45You have no legal right.
00:00:49I put myself through college. I never asked you for any money.
00:00:52Why do you have to take away mom's house?
00:00:55This house was the only thing her mother left her.
00:00:58Shut up. Remember whose side you're on.
00:01:02No, I'm not gonna let you sell the house.
00:01:05Unfortunately, Miss Brown, you have no legal claim on the house.
00:01:10Only Mr. Brown can sell or transfer ownership.
00:01:15Oh, my dear sister, don't worry. I have a proposition.
00:01:19You can keep your mom's house if you marry that Lucius lion so I don't have to.
00:01:26What?
00:01:29Mother's family and the lion family needs to work together.
00:01:33Tighter bonds lead to a better business.
00:01:35And it'd do you good to marry a lion.
00:01:37They're very influential.
00:01:39Almost like Cinderella, sis.
00:01:41This is your family business, not mine.
00:01:44And I'm not your sister.
00:01:45Um, fine. Then gather your garbage and leave.
00:01:49We'll give you a minute to sacrifice.
00:01:51Dad, how can you let them do this?
00:01:54But, Laura...
00:01:55I make the rules in this house.
00:01:57Marry Lucius lion or get out of my house.
00:01:59We want your answer before the end of the day.
00:02:02Wait, can I...
00:02:04Can I at least meet the guy?
00:02:06I'm not sure.
00:02:08He's a busy man.
00:02:09Probably off fucking a two dollar whore.
00:02:18There's no way I'd marry you off to that good for nothing man whore.
00:02:21Thank God.
00:02:22I was getting nervous there for a minute.
00:02:24At this table, I make the rules.
00:02:48Do as I say, and our game goes on.
00:02:52Mr. Lion, you win.
00:02:55We'll continue to comply with your company.
00:02:58Pleasure doing business with you.
00:03:16You have a quarterly meeting today.
00:03:18And...
00:03:19Why?
00:03:20Spit it out.
00:03:21Your father is threatening your privileges if you don't marry.
00:03:25You're not going to try to use me to keep the family business together.
00:03:29I've dug up everything on the elder daughter of the Brown family.
00:03:36Alicia Brown?
00:03:38Thought I was to marry the other one.
00:03:40You know, the brunette?
00:03:42She's a hard worker.
00:03:43I want to meet her.
00:03:44Don't you bitches even think about evicting me.
00:03:45It's not going to happen.
00:03:46This house belongs to me and my mother.
00:03:48She says thanks, but wants to be alone tonight.
00:03:49Thanks for being here.
00:03:50I'm going to meet her.
00:03:51I'm going to meet her.
00:03:52Don't you bitches even think about evicting me.
00:03:53It's not going to happen.
00:03:54It's not going to happen.
00:03:55This house belongs to me and my mother.
00:03:56She says thanks, but wants to be alone tonight.
00:04:00Thanks for trying.
00:04:01Better luck next time.
00:04:07I wanted to come over here and personally say thank you.
00:04:09What's going to happen?
00:04:20Yes.
00:04:29I wanted to come over here and personally say thank you but I'm not interested in meeting
00:04:38anyone tonight.
00:04:40No hard feelings.
00:04:42But if you still want a free drink, please.
00:04:47I hate rum.
00:04:59I see someone drink like that, they're definitely trying to forget something.
00:05:05Like I said, I'm not here to meet a friend.
00:05:08Fine.
00:05:09But when I see someone sulking by themselves, I try to help.
00:05:15If you want another drink for your troubles, it's on me.
00:05:19You rehearsed that line?
00:05:22I figured in exchange for a drink, you'd get whatever's bothering you off your trust.
00:05:28What's your name?
00:05:34I'm Nobody.
00:05:35Besides, you said you're not interested in making any friends.
00:05:38Okay, Nobody.
00:05:39But if you want to hear about it, I'll take that drink.
00:05:49The wine's gone.
00:05:52Dammit.
00:05:53Marrying someone you don't love?
00:05:55Well, I'm rooting for you.
00:05:58Hope the guy's decent.
00:06:02What was that for?
00:06:08You're cute and sweet.
00:06:10Well, I won't get to do this again.
00:06:16So I take it you do this a lot?
00:06:18Not really.
00:06:19So consider yourself lucky.
00:06:21I don't think you'd say that if you knew who I am.
00:06:23I don't need your backstory.
00:06:25I'm never going to see you again.
00:06:27I don't really want to know only a Jake sometimes found the same element.
00:06:30I'm not bringing home with a lady here.
00:06:31I cannot possibly change to my dad.
00:06:48Can you talk to him?
00:06:49He got to talk at the scene, daddy.
00:06:51No need to sneak out.
00:06:59I'm not hurt you're trying to leave.
00:07:03Last night was a mistake.
00:07:04No, no.
00:07:06Last night was nice.
00:07:07You're nice.
00:07:08It was all nice.
00:07:12Well, I'm convinced.
00:07:14But are you sure you don't want to know who I am?
00:07:18Look, if we'd met at another time, then maybe we could get coffee or something.
00:07:21But I'm kind of getting married.
00:07:25Well, I did not see that coming.
00:07:33Well, I hope your soon-to-be husband doesn't find out about all this and, I don't know, shoot me?
00:07:41No, it'll be our little secret, okay?
00:07:43I should go.
00:07:46Sorry.
00:07:51Tell my father I'll agree to the wedding.
00:08:07Alicia Brown.
00:08:11What an interesting woman.
00:08:12Are you ready?
00:08:23I've made a change to our agreement.
00:08:26I want it in writing.
00:08:28One year of marriage, I get my mother's house.
00:08:33I didn't agree to that.
00:08:35I get the house on your good word.
00:08:37I'm not stupid.
00:08:42You want the house back that bad?
00:08:44Two years at the least.
00:08:46It's my final offer.
00:08:51Deal.
00:08:55You want the house back that bad?
00:08:58Two years at the least.
00:09:00It's my final offer.
00:09:04Deal.
00:09:04Okay, where's the groom?
00:09:10Maybe he realized who he was marrying and backed out.
00:09:16Let's just get this over with.
00:09:18He better settle for you or you can kiss that house goodbye.
00:09:21I heard Lucius was a promiscuous man.
00:09:24I mean, he slept with half the women in this town.
00:09:26He and his father hate each other.
00:09:30Sorry I'm late.
00:09:31I'm late.
00:09:34Sorry I'm late.
00:09:50Fine, young gentleman.
00:09:53Is that Lucius Lyon?
00:10:00He's sexy.
00:10:01I see why the girls like him.
00:10:03Oh, add me to that list.
00:10:05Yeah.
00:10:07Excuse me.
00:10:11Shall we?
00:10:12You're a Lucius Lyon?
00:10:14One and only.
00:10:15Why did you say something?
00:10:17Do you like fucking with the girls you sleep with?
00:10:19You didn't want to know me.
00:10:22Unbelievable.
00:10:23You came on to me, so it's not my fault.
00:10:26Hey.
00:10:28A little bit of crap before we get married.
00:10:30Sorry, father.
00:10:32This isn't over.
00:10:33It's an honor to marry your daughter.
00:10:44The honor is all ours.
00:10:46I'm sure you two will get along sweaty.
00:10:48You needn't worry about a thing.
00:10:50Well, I hope our business relations will grow even stronger now.
00:10:54I'm not quite concerned with business on my wedding day.
00:10:57How are you feeling, sweetheart?
00:11:10We need to talk through a few things in the Bible.
00:11:24You get all your one-night stands to do your cleaning for you?
00:11:27I'm a bit of a neat freak.
00:11:29A maid, maybe?
00:11:31I don't know.
00:11:36I have a few questions.
00:11:39Ask away.
00:11:40Quit it with the Prince Charming routine.
00:11:42It might work on your one-night stands, but it's not going to work on me.
00:11:45It worked for you that night.
00:11:50I have a few questions.
00:11:52Ask away.
00:11:54Quit it with the Prince Charming routine.
00:11:55It might work on your other one-night stands, but it's not going to work on me.
00:11:59Worked on you that night?
00:12:01I told you I overdid it that night.
00:12:03And now that I'm being forced to marry you, I need to lay down some rules.
00:12:08Very well.
00:12:09It wasn't my choice to marry you either.
00:12:11What do you mean?
00:12:12My father thinks I'm only good for the family business.
00:12:15He wanted this marriage to get your family's shares in our company.
00:12:20Wait, so that night you found me, you were actually trying to get to know me?
00:12:27Dammit, why didn't you just say something?
00:12:29I guess it's too late now.
00:12:31You said you had some rules?
00:12:32Rule number one.
00:12:35You stay out of my business, I stay out of yours.
00:12:38I just got done with school and I'm looking for a job, so...
00:12:41Fair enough.
00:12:41I wouldn't want you meddling in my business.
00:12:43Okay, great.
00:12:44Rule number two.
00:12:45Now hang on.
00:12:46Even if it's strictly business, this is a relationship.
00:12:50A relationship is a two-way street.
00:12:52You want rules?
00:12:53Then so do I.
00:12:56Fair is fair.
00:12:58What are your rules?
00:12:59When the time comes, I need you to act like my wife.
00:13:03For appearances.
00:13:04Wow.
00:13:05Didn't strike me as someone who cared what people thought.
00:13:08Well, I have family duties the same as you.
00:13:14Rule number two.
00:13:15I'm not going to move in with you.
00:13:17Why?
00:13:18I don't feel comfortable living in someone else's home.
00:13:22Then I want a date.
00:13:25You're being serious?
00:13:26You're pleasant enough.
00:13:29Besides, I should know who I'm married to.
00:13:31All right, consider it done.
00:13:33Rule number three.
00:13:35I want a divorce.
00:13:37In two years.
00:13:41My father should have your family's shares by then.
00:13:44He wouldn't care much what we do.
00:13:47Deal?
00:13:49Deal.
00:13:49Deal.
00:13:49Deal.
00:13:50Deal.
00:13:50Deal.
00:13:51Deal.
00:13:51Deal.
00:13:52Now, this marriage might be you're entitled alone, but if you need anything, you've got
00:13:58it.
00:13:59You've got it.
00:14:01Thanks.
00:14:24Hi.
00:14:25Alicia Brown.
00:14:26Yeah.
00:14:27That's me.
00:14:28Do you want to recognize me?
00:14:29Uh, no.
00:14:30I don't think so.
00:14:31Jenna.
00:14:32Jenna Davis.
00:14:33We went to high school together.
00:14:35Jenna.
00:14:36Oh my god.
00:14:37It's been years.
00:14:38Yeah.
00:14:39Since when do you work at Vision Tech?
00:14:40Oh my god.
00:14:41Out of school.
00:14:42What have you been up to?
00:14:43Grad school.
00:14:44I just graduated.
00:14:45Well, luckily, I got a job right off the bat, and now I'm a director.
00:14:49Congratulations.
00:14:50Thanks.
00:14:51Now, I won't go easy on you just because we were classmates.
00:14:56Yeah, no.
00:14:57I wouldn't expect you to.
00:14:58I like a challenge.
00:15:02Prior work experience.
00:15:05Hmm.
00:15:06I see you have won an internship.
00:15:09Yeah, from grad school.
00:15:11I was in product development.
00:15:13Hmm.
00:15:14I know that.
00:15:15Our department has pretty strict screening standards.
00:15:20You need two years experience for an interview.
00:15:23How did her resume land on my desk?
00:15:27Sorry, Sean is the executive director's assistant.
00:15:30I have to run this by him.
00:15:32The boss hoped you'd consider it.
00:15:34Do you know one of the bosses here?
00:15:36No.
00:15:37I don't.
00:15:38I don't.
00:15:39John, I thought I had control over this project.
00:15:41The boss personally scanned her resume.
00:15:47The boss personally scanned her resume.
00:15:50Okay, but if he already made the decision, then why waste my time with an interview?
00:15:54Are you questioning his judgment?
00:15:55Um, excuse me?
00:15:57What are you guys talking about?
00:15:59I guess you don't need to worry about it.
00:16:01Did your stepmother organize this for you?
00:16:03She certainly could have.
00:16:04No, you're the one that set up the interview.
00:16:06Alright, well, looks like you got the job.
00:16:08Congrats.
00:16:09I'm gonna send you the details and the offer to your email.
00:16:15What kind of interview is this?
00:16:17Don't worry, madam.
00:16:24Everything's under the boss's control.
00:16:34Alicia!
00:16:35I don't often run into such pretty women around here.
00:16:37I don't usually run into creeps around here.
00:16:40How's the job search going?
00:16:42It's good.
00:16:43I just interviewed with Vision Tech.
00:16:44You ever heard of it?
00:16:45Somewhat.
00:16:47Something weird happened, though.
00:16:49What's that?
00:16:50Someone must have put in a good word for me, because I think I got the job.
00:16:53Well, that's great.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:55It's all cause to celebrate.
00:16:56How about a drink later?
00:16:57Oh, no.
00:16:58Not tonight.
00:16:59I have to start preparing and stuff.
00:17:00Actually, I'm gonna need to steal you tonight.
00:17:03Well, for what?
00:17:04My parents.
00:17:05They're gonna start second-guessing me if they haven't met my new, charming, intelligent,
00:17:10beautiful wife.
00:17:11Fine.
00:17:12But first, we have to get you a dress.
00:17:15Why?
00:17:16Well, you have to have a dress to look the part.
00:17:18I'm not the part.
00:17:19Don't forget that.
00:17:20Come on.
00:17:21What about our rules?
00:17:23How about this one?
00:17:32Okay, how about this one?
00:17:38Well, don't tell me to try on a dress and then not pay attention to it.
00:17:49Yeah, you look good.
00:17:51Good?
00:17:52I'd say I have you spellbound.
00:17:54Spellbound?
00:17:55Mm-hmm.
00:17:56Slightly intrigued, at most.
00:17:59Whatever.
00:18:04Like the dress?
00:18:05Oh, I don't know yet.
00:18:07I'm waiting for my husband, but I think he really loves it.
00:18:10Hmm.
00:18:11Well, if you don't intend on buying the dress, I'm gonna need you to take it off.
00:18:14What do you mean?
00:18:15I just told you that I don't know.
00:18:17No offense.
00:18:18We see this kind of thing all the time.
00:18:21I'm sorry.
00:18:22I don't think I follow.
00:18:23Don't take this the wrong way.
00:18:25But lots of people come in here and try on dresses and they can't afford them.
00:18:30And that's okay at a second-hand thrift store.
00:18:33But these dresses are quite expensive.
00:18:35Are you trying to say that I can't afford this dress?
00:18:39We see your kind here all the time.
00:18:41My kind?
00:18:43I'm sorry, I-
00:18:44We'll take it.
00:18:48We'll take it.
00:18:50Sir, this dress costs $8,000.
00:18:52You look great.
00:18:54I'm spellbound.
00:18:56$8,000 is a lot of money.
00:18:58The cost doesn't matter.
00:19:00For you, darling, anything.
00:19:02Miss, we'll take this.
00:19:04Oh, I'd be happy to help.
00:19:06However, I'm gonna need you to apologize to my wife first for the rude mistake you just made.
00:19:14Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know-
00:19:16She's going to be a regular here now, so remember her face.
00:19:19You would make a ridiculous mistake like that again.
00:19:23Of course, I would.
00:19:25Hey, Lucius.
00:19:26Hey.
00:19:27Louis, sweetheart.
00:19:28It's been ages since I got to see you.
00:19:29I'll call you.
00:19:30I take it you know all the women here?
00:19:31Most.
00:19:32Hmm, just like Hugh Hefner.
00:19:33Mr. and Mrs. Lyon, I'm so sorry we didn't visit sooner.
00:19:34No worries.
00:19:35Look at you, Alicia.
00:19:36So beautiful.
00:19:37You know, I really feel like Lucius is going to start behaving.
00:19:38Now that he's landed a catch like you.
00:19:39Sure.
00:19:40You know, I really feel like Lucius is going to start behaving now that he's landed a catch
00:19:41like you.
00:19:42Sure.
00:19:43She's got me right in her pocket.
00:19:44Well, then I'd better not hear any more stories about you gallivanting.
00:19:45I'm so sorry.
00:19:46I'm so sorry.
00:19:47I'm so sorry.
00:19:48I'm so sorry.
00:19:49I'm so sorry we didn't visit sooner.
00:19:50I'm so sorry.
00:19:51I'm so sorry.
00:19:52I'm so sorry we didn't visit sooner.
00:19:53No worries.
00:19:54Look at you, Alicia.
00:19:55So beautiful.
00:19:56You know, I really feel like Lucius is going to start behaving now that he's landed a catch
00:20:07like you.
00:20:08Sure.
00:20:09She's got me right in her pocket.
00:20:10Well, then I'd better not hear any more stories about you gallivanting around town with all
00:20:14manners of loose tarts then.
00:20:16Alicia, please.
00:20:17Just make yourself at home.
00:20:19I'm really starting to lose my patience.
00:20:23I think we should get out of here before I say something that I regret.
00:20:34Such a wonderful couple.
00:20:36Happy family.
00:20:37You have been gone for ages.
00:20:38You forget about me the minute you're married off.
00:20:39You have been gone for ages.
00:20:40You forget about me the minute you're married off.
00:20:42Of course not.
00:20:43How could I forget about you?
00:20:44You're always on my mind, dear.
00:20:45I know we're only married in title, but can you please stop flirting with other women
00:20:46in front of me?
00:20:47Or can you not keep it in your hands?
00:20:48Oh, it's nice to meet you too.
00:20:49Kiki's been my best friend since we were children.
00:20:52Don't be jealous.
00:20:53Jealous?
00:20:54Jealous?
00:20:55You're the one that wanted me here for appearances.
00:20:56Can you at least pretend like we're married if it's that important?
00:20:57Also, is she like even 18?
00:20:58This whole Leonardo DiCaprio look is not working for you.
00:20:59I need a drink.
00:21:00Kiki, please keep my darling wife company for a bit.
00:21:01You two are really an eye catcher.
00:21:02Yeah, my brother is so cute.
00:21:03He's funny and kind too.
00:21:04I'm not a friend.
00:21:05I'm not a friend.
00:21:06I'm not a friend.
00:21:07I'm not a friend.
00:21:08I'm not a friend.
00:21:09I'm a friend.
00:21:10You're a friend.
00:21:11Oh, it's nice to meet you too.
00:21:12Kiki's been my best friend since we were children.
00:21:13Don't be jealous.
00:21:14Jealous?
00:21:15You're the one that wanted me here for appearances.
00:21:16Can you at least pretend like we're married if it's that important?
00:21:17Also, is she like even 18?
00:21:18This whole Leonardo DiCaprio look is not working for you.
00:21:19I need a drink.
00:21:20Please keep my darling wife company for a bit.
00:21:22You two are really an eye catcher.
00:21:24Yeah, my brother is so cute.
00:21:26He's funny and kind too.
00:21:28Consider yourself lucky to have him in the only four appearances.
00:21:32Brother?
00:21:33Yeah, my biological brother.
00:21:37I'm sorry.
00:21:38I didn't know he had a sister.
00:21:39It's alright.
00:21:40We like to mess with the newcomers.
00:21:41Welcome to the family slice.
00:21:43I guess smart ass runs in the family.
00:21:45I like you.
00:21:46Mocious is gonna have his hands full.
00:21:48I have my hands full.
00:21:49He's a womanizer.
00:21:51He just plays playboy to piss off our father.
00:21:55Is he really that bad?
00:21:56No, he just puts on an act.
00:21:58You wouldn't understand.
00:21:59Just take it easy on him, okay?
00:22:07So, Lucius, it's been a while.
00:22:08Yes.
00:22:09How have you been?
00:22:10Jesus, I almost believed his sister's crap.
00:22:12I need to get out of this nightmare.
00:22:14I don't know about that one.
00:22:16Excuse me.
00:22:22Alicia, wait.
00:22:25Wear my coat.
00:22:27It's cold.
00:22:31Alicia, wait.
00:22:33Wear my coat.
00:22:35It's cold.
00:22:36Why don't you just go back inside and play grab ass with the other women?
00:22:44Why do you care?
00:22:45You said we'd stay out of each other's lives.
00:22:47Because?
00:22:48Because?
00:22:50Is it because you're jealous?
00:22:53In your dreams.
00:22:54Just forget about it.
00:22:57Let me take you home.
00:22:59Please?
00:23:03Fine.
00:23:05Now button your coat.
00:23:07It's cold.
00:23:14Thanks for the ride.
00:23:15I'm sorry.
00:23:17I got so mad.
00:23:20You're my wife.
00:23:22You have every right to be mad.
00:23:25Can I come in?
00:23:27No, no.
00:23:28No, we are not having a repeat of what happened that night after the bar.
00:23:30Who said anything about that?
00:23:32And FYI, you did come on to me first.
00:23:34Yeah, well that was a mistake.
00:23:36Clearly I wasn't thinking straight.
00:23:39Can I have a snack?
00:23:40I haven't eaten anything all day.
00:23:45Please?
00:23:48Pizza rolls.
00:23:49That's all I have.
00:23:59Wow, a looker and a chef.
00:24:01Shut up, eat, and leave.
00:24:03You never cease to amaze me.
00:24:05What?
00:24:07I thought you were like other socialites, but here you are.
00:24:09A working girl eating pizza rolls.
00:24:12Yeah, well neither are exactly a choice, Lucius.
00:24:15No, I guess not.
00:24:20Why don't you live with your father and mother?
00:24:23Laura's not my mother.
00:24:24I don't really have a family.
00:24:25I've been alone since I was 18.
00:24:28I'm sorry, I don't know the first thing about you.
00:24:32You are not the first person to say that to me.
00:24:35Well, why did you agree to this marriage then?
00:24:39This.
00:24:42Laura only wanted me to marry you for your family's money.
00:24:45She didn't want her own daughter marrying a pretty rich man whore.
00:24:49Ouch.
00:24:51So we made a deal.
00:24:52I marry you in Candace's place.
00:24:56I get the house.
00:24:58This? This is it? This house?
00:25:02You married me for a house?
00:25:04Yeah, it was my mom's house.
00:25:06You know, all my memories, all the good ones, they're here.
00:25:16I know it's small and it's old, but I love everything about it.
00:25:22The color, the texture.
00:25:28I even like the smell.
00:25:32The smell?
00:25:33Yeah, it smells like my mom.
00:25:37Can't you file a lawsuit? This is your mother's legacy.
00:25:40No, the...
00:25:43The deed's in my dad's name.
00:25:45He's such a weak-willed coward.
00:25:47Laura walks all over him.
00:25:49So I honor our agreement for two years.
00:25:52And...
00:25:54I get the house.
00:25:55I'm sorry.
00:26:06What if I don't want this to end?
00:26:14Hi.
00:26:16I should go to bed.
00:26:19Enjoy the pizza rolls.
00:26:21Good night.
00:26:23Alicia.
00:26:26I know you love this place.
00:26:28But it's so far from your work.
00:26:30I want to help in any way that I can.
00:26:33So maybe to better focus on your work, you can move in with me.
00:26:39I'll think about it.
00:26:52Wear my coat.
00:26:54It's cold.
00:26:55It's cold.
00:27:13Okay.
00:27:15I haven't seen that newbie.
00:27:17I heard someone pulled the strings for her.
00:27:19She's pretty.
00:27:20I don't know.
00:27:21She'd have to have.
00:27:23I can think of a few things.
00:27:32There's bound to be gossip.
00:27:36I'm sorry.
00:27:37What exactly are you trying to say?
00:27:39Word is you slept with the boss.
00:27:43But you know people like to gossip.
00:27:48Whatever.
00:27:50Think of it as a little office hazing.
00:27:55Now our new CEO is having a meeting at 11.
00:27:57I need you to record the minutes.
00:28:01Got it.
00:28:03Hello everyone.
00:28:04Department heads.
00:28:05Project leads.
00:28:07I am Jamal Lyon.
00:28:08Your new CEO.
00:28:09Jamal?
00:28:13Jamal?
00:28:14What's the matter with you?
00:28:16So, to get things started off, I would like reports from the department heads.
00:28:33Is Jamal the one you slept with?
00:28:34No.
00:28:36Alicia Brown?
00:28:37Did not expect to see you here.
00:28:39Hi, Mr. Lyon.
00:28:40I'm Jenna, Alicia's supervisor.
00:28:42Hi, Jenna.
00:28:43Do you mind?
00:28:44I'd like to have a private conversation with Alicia.
00:28:48Sure.
00:28:53Do you want to have a quick chat over coffee?
00:28:56I still have a lot of work.
00:28:57I have to...
00:28:58Just take a second.
00:28:59Come on.
00:29:00Just check out my office.
00:29:05I never thought I'd work for you.
00:29:07Well, you know, boss, employee, they're just meaningless titles, right?
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:15By the way, I've been meaning to catch up with you.
00:29:18You didn't.
00:29:20Alicia, I don't like the way that we left things in school.
00:29:25We were on different tracks.
00:29:27I mean, you were so busy I barely saw you.
00:29:29I still think about you.
00:29:32A lot.
00:29:34So I take it you graduated then?
00:29:37That took a little longer than you, but...
00:29:39Yes.
00:29:40Congrats.
00:29:44So I was wondering if maybe you would, um...
00:29:48Want to go out and get a drink with me sometime.
00:29:51Family business.
00:29:54Do you know Lucius?
00:29:57Hey, bro.
00:29:58Lucius.
00:30:00What are you doing here?
00:30:02You know, I thought you would come see me when you came back in town,
00:30:05but it looks like you decided to see your sister-in-law instead.
00:30:09Your sister-in-law was...
00:30:10Yeah, I didn't mention it, but I'm married.
00:30:13You married him?
00:30:15Yeah, I didn't mention it, but I'm married.
00:30:19You married him?
00:30:21But Alicia, he's...
00:30:22Hey, let's not forget who's been running the family business since you've been off playing schoolboy.
00:30:25Oh, is that what you call it?
00:30:26Is that why I was called in to save the family business?
00:30:28Because you've been doing such a great job?
00:30:30Oh, is that right?
00:30:31Solitaire helps with productivity, does it?
00:30:34Well, I'm on the board of directors, remember that?
00:30:36So I have every right to fire you right now.
00:30:39No, Lucius, you just have half a mind.
00:30:40You guys, stop.
00:30:42Brothers?
00:30:43No.
00:30:44Plus it's just brothers.
00:30:46Yes, technically, but I wish we weren't.
00:30:48So, you're the boss here?
00:30:51One of them?
00:30:52So is that how I got the interview?
00:30:55No, no, no, of course it is.
00:30:57What happened to staying out of each other's business?
00:31:00You just shut up, okay?
00:31:03You know what your little stunt did?
00:31:05It made everyone here think that I'm sleeping my way to the top.
00:31:08I'm sorry.
00:31:09You know what, you're no better.
00:31:10You might as well just told everybody that we fucked.
00:31:13Did you?
00:31:14Not since grad school.
00:31:15What?
00:31:16Look, I'll tell her to take care of it.
00:31:19Both of you just do whatever the fuck you want without any consideration of how it affects other people.
00:31:23So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get back to work before Jenna fires me.
00:31:34I don't know what happened between you and her, but leave her alone.
00:31:39You know, Lucius, maybe if you knew how to treat a woman, she would have stormed out there like that.
00:31:45How about you think about that as you get the fuck out of my office?
00:31:49Oh, you're going to tell Dad?
00:31:50Maybe.
00:31:51Yeah, sounds about right.
00:31:53Well, the guy that's the big thing!
00:31:56Jennifer, how about you?
00:31:57How about you?
00:31:59Hey, how are you?
00:32:00How about you?
00:32:01How about you?
00:32:02You're going really good.
00:32:03Is it really good?
00:32:04Yeah?
00:32:05Yeah.
00:32:06Anything to count as you?
00:32:07Mmhmm.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:10Hey...
00:32:11I want you to get some coffee.
00:32:12Do you want to...
00:32:14I want you to get a little in my office?
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:17I'm not trying to make it hard on you, but your meetings have put you way behind schedule.
00:32:27I know.
00:32:28I need you to get back on schedule by the end of the day.
00:32:31I'll get caught up by the end of the day.
00:32:33Hey.
00:32:39Hey, I was just about to call you to my office.
00:32:41You and Jamal need to stop.
00:32:43It's making the rumors worse.
00:32:45Okay.
00:32:46I'll tell you what.
00:32:46I'll work from home, but.
00:32:49But what?
00:32:50But we never had that date.
00:32:52Huh?
00:32:53One of our rules, I wanted a date.
00:32:58Fine.
00:33:00But if you guys don't stop, I'll tell your daddy about workplace practices.
00:33:11I'm in some tonight to go off without a hitch, Sean.
00:33:14I'm in some hot water.
00:33:15Well, have you considered a gift to go with dinner?
00:33:19What?
00:33:20I just wanted to apologize.
00:33:34I shouldn't have gone behind your back with the whole interview thing.
00:33:39It was shitty.
00:33:40But you meant well.
00:33:41I tend to try to fix things before they start.
00:33:44But I promise, I won't go behind your back again.
00:33:48Just forget it.
00:33:50Compared to my evil stepmother and her devil spawn.
00:33:54It was kind of sweet.
00:33:55Well, I hope you're enjoying yourself.
00:33:58I am.
00:33:59Thank you for the date.
00:34:02It's nice to unwind.
00:34:06What are you doing?
00:34:08Just another I'm sorry gift.
00:34:10Oh my god, it's beautiful.
00:34:22Lucius, I can't accept this.
00:34:24It must have been a fortune.
00:34:25Come on.
00:34:26From husband to wife.
00:34:28Okay, well.
00:34:29I will take good care of you.
00:34:31I thought about moving in.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:37So what do you say?
00:34:38Since I'm so far from work, I'll do it.
00:34:42But only on weekdays.
00:34:44Well, welcome to your new home.
00:34:50You didn't tell me you only had one bed.
00:34:53Husband and wife tend to sleep together in one bed.
00:34:57Besides, it's not like it's the first.
00:34:58Okay, we're not actually married.
00:35:03Sure, of course.
00:35:04Yeah, you're right.
00:35:06Tell you what.
00:35:07Why don't you take the bedroom and I'll pull couch.
00:35:10Oh, no, that's okay.
00:35:11I can take the couch.
00:35:11Too late.
00:35:14So I have a question.
00:35:17Shoot.
00:35:18Your sister said that you put on this sort of act.
00:35:23Did she?
00:35:24Yeah, that you're not the suave heartbreaker that you lead on.
00:35:28What kind of person do you think of you?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:35I think I agree with her.
00:35:42I think you're really thoughtful.
00:35:45In my family, there's little room for fuck-ups.
00:35:48Jamal plays to that just fine.
00:35:51But I don't.
00:35:52So I play into what they assume.
00:35:57That you're a playboy.
00:36:04You've been anything but that to me.
00:36:07I don't think it's a secret in how I feel about you, Alicia.
00:36:12Would you believe me if I told you that I've never felt this way before?
00:36:15Your daughter is ruining everything.
00:36:27The Lyons family isn't even interested in our business propositions.
00:36:31Mr. Lyons is a very busy man.
00:36:33I'm sure he has many other concerns on his mind.
00:36:38She's been bad-mouthing us!
00:36:40That doesn't sound like Alicia.
00:36:43That's not in her character.
00:36:45Daddy, she's been away from you for so long.
00:36:47How do you know that?
00:36:49Candy, honey.
00:36:50You're my daughters.
00:36:52My little angels.
00:36:54But she said it herself.
00:36:56She's not family.
00:36:57She doesn't mean to like us.
00:37:00Looks like she doesn't even want that shabby house after all.
00:37:11What do you want?
00:37:15No, you can't do that.
00:37:24The house stays in my family.
00:37:25Two years of marriage and I get the house.
00:37:27The deal's changed.
00:37:29Why?
00:37:29You thought you could scheme behind my back?
00:37:32You've been sabotaging our relationship with the Lyons family.
00:37:35I never did that.
00:37:36I married you off to foster our family's relationship.
00:37:40You didn't follow through with your deal.
00:37:46The Lyons family business has nothing to do with me, but...
00:37:49I'll talk to Lucius and I'll see what I can do.
00:37:52You should have done that from the start.
00:37:54The house remains on the market.
00:37:55But I'll sell it to you.
00:37:57How am I supposed to get that kind of money?
00:38:00It's not my problem.
00:38:02All right, ma'am.
00:38:12You're late?
00:38:13God, you're so cocky.
00:38:15Not finishing your work, showing up whenever you feel like it.
00:38:19Hey, I'm talking to you.
00:38:20Sorry, I feel dizzy.
00:38:23Don't you pretend to be sick.
00:38:25Alicia?
00:38:27Alicia!
00:38:28I didn't touch her.
00:38:35Stress, low blood sugar, that combination when you're pregnant.
00:38:39What?
00:38:40Pregnant?
00:38:41And for weeks.
00:38:42Who's the father?
00:38:43I'm a doctor, but I'm not that good of a doctor.
00:38:47Hey.
00:39:10Where am I?
00:39:11You're okay.
00:39:12You're safe.
00:39:12Well, there is something I need to tell you.
00:39:21What?
00:39:24Pregnant.
00:39:27You should talk to Lucius.
00:39:28No, no, no.
00:39:30He does not need to know.
00:39:33Alicia, he's your husband.
00:39:35And he helped you get into this mess.
00:39:40Jamal, there's something I need to tell you.
00:39:43Our marriages.
00:39:47That's not what it looks like.
00:39:50Hi, Mr. Lyon.
00:39:51Is there anything I can do for you?
00:39:53Yeah, where's Alicia?
00:39:54Oh, she's been sent to the hospital.
00:39:56What?
00:39:56What the hell happened?
00:39:58I don't know.
00:40:00Where is she?
00:40:01Your brother took her.
00:40:03What is it about Alicia that has you all fawning over her?
00:40:05She's my wife!
00:40:06Wait, what?
00:40:10A contract marriage?
00:40:12So you were forced to marry him, but you've already slept with him.
00:40:16I know.
00:40:17It sounds crazy.
00:40:18And you're going to divorce him in two years.
00:40:21But what about the child?
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:23I mean, this wasn't planned.
00:40:24I can't even afford my house.
00:40:26How am I supposed to take care of a child?
00:40:27Hey, don't tell Lucius.
00:40:35I want to tell him myself.
00:40:39Okay.
00:40:40Okay.
00:40:42Hey, I'm kind of hungry.
00:40:44Could you give me a snack?
00:40:46Please?
00:40:47Yeah, I'll be right back.
00:40:49Thanks.
00:40:57Hey, I'll be right back.

00:58:05as long as
00:58:05they're free
00:58:06lucius gets a piece of
00:58:07my mind
00:58:08This is only the beginning.
00:58:14I told you you need to change your ways.
00:58:16Jamal never gives me any problems.
00:58:19He always does as I tell him.
00:58:21Those thugs were trying to hurt Alicia, and I was protecting her.
00:58:24Don't talk back to your father.
00:58:26Don't you even talk about your wife.
00:58:29She's a fraud.
00:58:30Bite your tongue.
00:58:31What if your father's right?
00:58:33Her stepfather has told us about her.
00:58:35Told you what?
00:58:35That they abandoned her when she was a child because of her rotten attitude.
00:58:40It's just Laura lying.
00:58:41She hates me, so she forced Alicia to marry me instead of Candace.
00:58:46Sweetheart, she tricked you.
00:58:48You have no idea what a woman like this is capable of.
00:58:51You just get a divorce.
00:58:53We will not allow a snake in the lion family.
00:59:00We will not allow a snake in the lion family.
00:59:03What are you talking about, snake?
00:59:04Sweetheart, don't listen to them.
00:59:06It's Laura lying and tricking them again.
00:59:09You're a snake.
00:59:10You're nothing but a manipulative cretin.
00:59:13Shut up, Victor.
00:59:13I won't tolerate you disrespecting my wife like this.
00:59:16No, Lucius, stop.
00:59:17I want to hear what they have to say.
00:59:19You married Lucius just to save your house.
00:59:22You will not use our wealth and our power for yourself.
00:59:26It's enough.
00:59:27Stop this bullshit right now.
00:59:29You tricked my son for money.
00:59:31I will not stand for that.
00:59:32She was trying to save her house, and I'm okay with it.
00:59:35You guys have brought shame to the family.
00:59:38I've worked my entire life to build this reputation, and it will not be tarnished by a...
00:59:44By a strumpet.
00:59:48I've worked my entire life to build this reputation, and it will not be tarnished by a...
00:59:54Brazen strumpet.
00:59:55Yep, it's Laura again.
00:59:56You must get a divorce, or Laura will divulge all of Lucius' secrets about being with a low-light, petty criminal.
01:00:05Now I understand why you hate your parents.
01:00:07Victor, we're done, and I'll be goddamned if I divorce her.
01:00:11I will take away all of your privileges, all of your rights, all of your funds, everything.
01:00:17You'll be penniless.
01:00:18Be my guest.
01:00:19Alicia, Alicia, you'll never have to see them again.
01:00:27I just want to be by myself.
01:00:28Let me keep you company.
01:00:29They'll take away everything that you have, and my stepmother just wants to see me suffer, so I don't...
01:00:33He holds no power over me, and he can threaten me all he wants.
01:00:37I mean, just...
01:00:38Please, I'm going to take care of your stepmother.
01:00:40I need...
01:00:41I need a minute to calm down, okay?
01:00:43Just please leave me alone.
01:00:49Our plan worked.
01:00:53Lucius Lyon is forcing the divorce.
01:00:55Couldn't stand seeing that bitch get away with everything.
01:00:58As long as Alicia's in the picture, Lucius' company will treat us as an enemy.
01:01:03They both needed to be put in their place.
01:01:05We still have one more card to play.
01:01:08I'm so sorry to put you through this, sweetie.
01:01:10Please be careful.
01:01:11You don't have to worry about a single thing.
01:01:19Where is he?
01:01:42Dig up everything you can on Laura's company.
01:01:45Been enough of this crackpot.
01:01:46Enjoy.
01:01:51Enjoy.
01:01:51Enjoy.
01:02:16Are you okay?
01:02:23I feel dizzy.
01:02:31Are you Mrs. Lyon?
01:02:33Yes.
01:02:36Your husband's real hard.
01:02:39He's had a bit too much to drink.
01:02:44Alicia?
01:02:54What are you doing here?
01:03:01Alicia?
01:03:02What are you doing here?
01:03:06Who the hell are you?
01:03:08Alicia?
01:03:09Where am I?
01:03:10You're asking me that.
01:03:11Alicia, I finally get why you like him so much.
01:03:17Don't listen to her.
01:03:18I don't know what happened.
01:03:20Don't touch me.
01:03:21I'll tell you what happened.
01:03:23Your drunk husband came on to me.
01:03:26He was telling me how much he missed your first night.
01:03:29So he brought me up here to try to recreate it.
01:03:33You see it's in the same room.
01:03:36He was telling me how much he missed your first night.
01:03:40So he brought me up here to try to recreate it.
01:03:44You see it's in the same room.
01:03:45That's not true.
01:03:46That's...
01:03:47I didn't...
01:03:47Just when I thought I found someone that understood me.
01:03:50I didn't cheat.
01:03:52I've been drunk.
01:03:53I can't believe that I was just about to ask you to be so gentle.
01:03:56What?
01:03:57What?
01:03:58You don't assume it to be a father.
01:04:00You definitely do have to be a father.
01:04:06Alicia, wait.
01:04:11Alicia, wait.
01:04:12I can explain.
01:04:12I don't want to hear it.
01:04:13Please, is it my child?
01:04:15Now he'll end up fatherless just like you.
01:04:22Alicia, wait.
01:04:23I can explain.
01:04:23I don't want to hear it.
01:04:25Please, is it my child?
01:04:26Now he'll end up fatherless just like you.
01:04:28Please, when did this happen?
01:04:29Is that really important after what you just did to me?
01:04:31After we left my parents, I went to the bar.
01:04:33I got drugged.
01:04:34Your sister and your stepmother are behind this.
01:04:36Ever since we got married, everything has gone wrong.
01:04:38Work your parents everything.
01:04:39I can fix this.
01:04:40I'm going crazy.
01:04:42I'm tired.
01:04:42Alicia, I can't do this anymore.
01:04:44Please, just give me a chance.
01:04:46I can stop all this.
01:04:47Alicia!
01:04:49We're done.
01:04:54They're through.
01:04:55When we release these photos, hellhole Victor.
01:04:58He'll have an aneurysm.
01:05:03What have you done?
01:05:06They're through.
01:05:08When we release these photos, hellhole Victor, he'll have an aneurysm.
01:05:16What have you done?
01:05:19Alicia's my daughter.
01:05:22Laura, how can you be so cruel?
01:05:24If it weren't for you and your little brat, I wouldn't have to go this far.
01:05:28It was Alicia, who tricked Lucius into going against us.
01:05:32We're just getting even.
01:05:35That's enough.
01:05:37I won't condone this type of behavior any longer.
01:05:41He's all talk.
01:05:44Coward.
01:05:46What?
01:05:47He slept with your sister?
01:05:49Yeah.
01:05:49You're sure?
01:05:59I bet it was Candace that set it up, but I can't just forgive him.
01:06:03I literally can't get what I saw out of my head.
01:06:07So, you'll divorce him?
01:06:09The marriage was a mistake anyway.
01:06:11Well, what about the baby?
01:06:17I don't know.
01:06:18Yeah, you're a coward, Lucius.
01:06:22As a matter of fact, get out of my office, man.
01:06:24You're just a waste of space.
01:06:29You're just going to let her go?
01:06:31Just like that?
01:06:33No.
01:06:35Then what the hell are you still doing here, man?
01:06:39Listen, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye.
01:06:42But we are brothers.
01:06:44And you could have said something to me.
01:06:45Didn't she tell you about this pregnancy days ago?
01:06:48She did.
01:06:50But think of all the shit you put her through, man.
01:06:54Everything.
01:06:55If you were in my shoes,
01:06:56would you say anything?
01:06:59This time,
01:07:00I'm going to fix everything.
01:07:02You've earned it.
01:07:05I found the waiter that drugged you.
01:07:16You've earned it.
01:07:19I would do.
01:07:20I would lift up.
01:07:21The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:07:23I drugged him. You slandered him publicly.
01:07:27Candice and her mother hate that woman.
01:07:31Then you take care of him.
01:07:33I can be sure.
01:07:35His father has banished him.
01:07:37Without this family, Bishop Lyon is nothing.
01:07:45Who said I needed that old man?
01:07:47What are you doing here?
01:07:49Mr. Lyon, I've recorded all of our meetings.
01:07:52I have everything right here.
01:07:58If you drug anyone ever again,
01:08:00I'll see to it personally that you're serving drinks in hell.
01:08:03You hear me?
01:08:04Yes, sir.
01:08:05Get out.
01:08:14Now, do as I say.
01:08:22Jenna.
01:08:26I quit.
01:08:27What?
01:08:28Why?
01:08:29You're the owner's wife.
01:08:30Yeah, well...
01:08:32We're getting a divorce.
01:08:34You're the owner's wife.
01:08:35You're the owner's wife.
01:08:36You're the owner's wife.
01:08:37You're the owner's wife.
01:08:42Have you thought this through?
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:45Even without Candice's little stunt.
01:08:47We can't be together.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:50My stepmother will never approve of it,
01:08:52and neither will your father.
01:08:54I thought that Lucius said he was gonna find evidence
01:08:57to prove there's nothing between him and Candice.
01:08:59Yeah, he's said it a million times, but things keep happening.
01:09:02I just...
01:09:03I can't do it anymore, Jamal.
01:09:05What about the child?
01:09:06I'll take care of it myself.
01:09:09Just tell Lucius whatever I owe him.
01:09:11I'll pay him back.
01:09:14I'll see you later.
01:09:16It's good to see you.
01:09:19Find me if you need anything.
01:09:20Sounds good.
01:09:38Almost like a dream.
01:10:06Kiki?
01:10:07Lucius wants you to come to my house to watch a show.
01:10:10A show?
01:10:15Alicia.
01:10:17How dare you show your face here?
01:10:19Lucius told me to come.
01:10:22You need to stop looking for Lucius.
01:10:25You are no longer a lion.
01:10:29Nor are you a brown.
01:10:31Well, hopefully I won't have to deal with you animals for very much longer.
01:10:35We have got to stop bumping into each other like that.
01:10:40What do you want?
01:10:41Just spit it out.
01:10:42Take a seat, please.
01:10:50What sort of game are you playing, Lucius?
01:10:53Sweetheart, have a seat and watch.
01:10:55What?
01:10:56Look, can we just get this over with, please?
01:10:59Everyone's here.
01:11:07If these photos get out, we're doomed.
01:11:11Did you just bring me here to humiliate me all over again?
01:11:13Maybe she should stay.
01:11:16I'd like to hear what the leading lady here has to say.
01:11:23I explained it already.
01:11:26Lucius was drunk and he forced me up to his hotel room.
01:11:31I couldn't fight him.
01:11:32Mr. Lion, we've known for years your son is a playboy.
01:11:37I could see you all for this.
01:11:39Bravo.
01:11:41Great acting.
01:11:42It's so authentic, don't you think?
01:11:44Lucius, you need to apologize for your lewd, salacious behavior.
01:11:50Mr. Limpy?
01:11:55Limpy?
01:11:56Don't call me that, don't call me that.
01:11:57Candace, Mrs. Brown, you look unwell.
01:11:59They know everything, so don't need to play claims.
01:12:01Who are you?
01:12:02I don't know him.
01:12:04You're that paralytic that my son beat up.
01:12:06Yes, I am.
01:12:07They gave me a lot of money to report Lucius.
01:12:09Liar!
01:12:11Liar!
01:12:13Liar!
01:12:14The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:12:16I drugged them.
01:12:18That night, Mr. Lion's drink was spiked.
01:12:20That's already a crime.
01:12:22I'm sorry.
01:12:23You're that paralytic that my son beat up.
01:12:24You're that paralytic that my son beat up.
01:12:26Yes, I am.
01:12:27They gave me a lot of money to report Lucius.
01:12:28Liar!
01:12:30Liar!
01:12:32Liar!
01:12:34The Lions won't be able to trace this back to us.
01:12:35I drugged them.
01:12:37That night, Mr. Lion's drink was spiked.
01:12:41That's already a crime.
01:12:44You can go now.
01:12:48We're even.
01:12:52That's not true.
01:12:55That is enough.
01:12:58I'm cutting off all the ties between the two families.
01:13:01No, we can provide more.
01:13:04Not anymore.
01:13:05I've reported all the illegal activities of your company to the authorities.
01:13:09I'm taking it too far this time, Laura.
01:13:10Yeah.
01:13:12Mr. Brown.
01:13:13Right in the nick of time.
01:13:15What are you doing here, Harry?
01:13:18Laura, you're a mean person.
01:13:20I'm divorcing you.
01:13:21You can't get along without me.
01:13:23You're nothing but a limp dick in a sea of snakes.
01:13:27Dad, what are you doing this to me?
01:13:29Guards, take Candace and Mrs. Brown away, please.
01:13:38I've hired a prosecutor.
01:13:41You should hire a lawyer.
01:13:42No, father.
01:13:44I'm your daughter.
01:13:46I love you, Candy.
01:13:47I can't tolerate this kind of behavior.
01:13:49Scumbag!
01:13:50Go to hell!
01:13:51Alicia, sweetheart.
01:13:53I've been a fool.
01:13:55I'm so indebted to you.
01:13:57I'm a silly old man.
01:13:59Can you forgive me?
01:14:00You've done enough, Dad.
01:14:04You're gonna be fine.
01:14:06Well, I do have a conscience, so I suppose I owe you an apology, Ms. Brown, for all the slanders and misfortunes that you've been troubled with.
01:14:28It's okay. I'm used to it.
01:14:36So this was a show?
01:14:39Brilliant.
01:14:40Is all this not enough, Alicia?
01:14:42Nope, not nearly enough.
01:14:44Is all this not enough, Alicia?
01:14:46Nope, not nearly enough.
01:14:48Then what is it I had to do?
01:14:51You still haven't said you'll raise our child.
01:14:56Wait, she's with child?
01:14:58A lion?
01:15:01This is fantastic.
01:15:02I mean, it was in wedlock.
01:15:03I mean it fully technically.
01:15:07Why is everybody just standing around?
01:15:09Somebody get her a drink!
01:15:11Easy, old man.
01:15:13Your grandchild hasn't been born yet.
01:15:15We'll have a checkup this instant.
01:15:26It doesn't even look like a real person.
01:15:29I guess you're not fit to be a father after all.
01:15:32It's a month old.
01:15:33It's a month old.
01:15:42You know, I really am excited about all this.
01:15:50I just wish you would have told me sooner.
01:16:00I think we should have a real wedding this time.
01:16:02I agree.
01:16:12You owe me that much.
01:16:14You two.
01:16:16Again?
01:16:18I look so silly.
01:16:19You look gorgeous.
01:16:20I wish you'd have done this three months ago.
01:16:21Relax.
01:16:24Can we hurry this up?
01:16:25I'm feeling a little funky.
01:16:28What's wrong with you?
01:16:29Uh oh.
01:16:30What?
01:16:32I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:34What?
01:16:35I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:37You're okay.
01:16:39You're craving capers.
01:16:40I think I'm going into labor.
01:16:43Labor, labor.
01:16:44Yes, labor, labor.
01:16:45Let's go.
01:16:46We gotta go to the house.
01:16:47No.
01:16:48We are having this wedding.
01:16:50What are you?
01:16:51What are you gonna pop it out on the pew?
01:16:54Okay, all right.
01:16:55Let's go.
01:16:56Let's go.
01:16:57Well, I'll be here when you get back.
