00:00I'm sorry, I'm not feeling that you were supposed to be here 15 minutes ago.
00:13I begged to get you this job, and you're already trying to get fired in your first week here.
00:17It wasn't my fault. I was stuck on the train for 20 minutes.
00:20That Grace O'Connell is a menace.
00:23He's already tried to fire, like, five assistants in the past two months,
00:27and he hates excuses, so none of that.
00:29Here.
00:35Alyssa!
00:37Do me well.
00:39Do you want to start off?
00:53You're awake.
01:09I come back from the gym to no coffee, and you're frazzled.
01:13You were setting the bar low for a new assistant, Miss Choi.
01:17At least I dressed.
01:18Excuse me?
01:19I'm sorry, Mr. O'Connor. I'll get you a coffee right away.
01:29Watch your mouth around here, Miss Choi.
01:31It'll get you in trouble.
01:33And you call that dressed?
01:35This is an office, not a slumber party.
01:41Hello, darling.
01:43Oh, good. The new secretary's here.
01:45I'll have a large iced Americano.
01:47Good job.
01:55Not much to look at, is she?
01:57Now you, on the other hand.
01:59Good enough to eat. I wasn't expecting breakfast and a show.
02:04Ready to go?
02:07You forgot?
02:07I didn't forget. I've worked hard. I know the concept is foreign to you, but...
02:14Come on, baby. Work hard, play hard.
02:16That's your baby, Melinda. We're not together.
02:19Never have been, never will be.
02:22Teeths.
02:24By the way, Daddy says congrats on the big win.
02:26Does he, um, say anything else?
02:33He's not going to name you a partner because of one big win.
02:37Be serious, Bricey.
02:39And only family can run Sam Pepper and Sons.
02:43But if you're really interested, um, I might know a way.
02:47If you'll excuse me, Miss Sam Pepper.
02:59You're Americano, Miss?
03:03Okay, then.
03:04I need these deposition transcripts color-coded by tonight.
03:14You can bring them to our place when we're done.
03:17I'm out for the day.
03:20Tonight?
03:22That's impossible.
03:23I already have so much to catch up on from your previous assistant.
03:25So you're saying...
03:28you can't keep up?
03:31What a shame.
03:31Oh, I am more than capable, sir.
03:40Approval.
03:42Watch me.
03:50Damn!
03:52Connell's really living up to his reputation as a man, or...
03:55Is it hot in here, or is it just you two?
03:58No.
03:59You have sworn off men.
04:00Thank you very much.
04:01Babe, not every guy is my goal.
04:04Besides, he is a total dick.
04:08Right.
04:10A dick you'd like to have fun.
04:11Oh!
04:12Okay.
04:14Duty calls.
04:15Thanks again for getting me the job, babe.
04:17Hello?
04:30Anyone in here?
04:32Anyone in here?
04:32Here are your transcripts.
04:43Here are your transcripts.
04:44Don't worry, they only took me 12 hours to finish.
04:45Are you drunk?
04:47Are you drunk?
04:51I'm celebrating.
04:53I got you here.
04:55I had a huge fucking one today.
04:59A win.
05:01I should have made a new partner.
05:02You kept me there till 10 p.m., color-coding deposition, so you could go home and guzzle whiskey?
05:09You are an asshole.
05:15You know that?
05:17What did I tell you about that?
05:20No.
05:20No.
05:22And I am not an asshole, babe.
05:28Fuck me.
05:39Actually, here's what's going to happen.
05:42Oh, bathroom.
05:45Bed.
05:47And then a bonus check for me being the best assistant you'll ever have.
05:53Ow.
05:55Oh, suck it up, tough guy.
05:57So, you think I'm tough?
06:02Very impressive, sir.
06:04Good night.
06:05Wait, um...
06:07I'm sorry.
06:10I had a bad day.
06:12You can, um, quit, if you want.
06:16But first, can you, um...
06:21Please?
06:27Butter?
06:36Much better.
06:38Much better.
06:43That's so funny.
06:46You're not so bad that you're drunk.
06:49In a nice, actually.
06:51You like it when I'm nice.
07:06Yeah.
07:08Maybe I do.
07:13Nice like this.
07:13Could be nice, sir.
07:27Nice.
07:27I'm fine.
07:32Yes.
07:33You that nice to your girlfriend?
07:43Girlfriend?
07:43Iced Americano, chop-chop.
07:45Melinda?
07:46Melinda?
07:48Not my girlfriend.
07:50Let me guess.
07:52You're one of the guys that's married to the job.
07:54That's all I got.
07:58I'm going to ask all of them.
08:03I think...
08:05That deep down...
08:08You're a good guy.
08:11No, I could stand to hear some more please and thank yous around the office.
08:23Please.
08:24God, you're fucking gorgeous.
08:52You're drunk.
08:53Well, Patrick.
08:57Stay.
09:01Please.
09:10We can't do this.
09:13You are my boss.
09:15Papa.
09:16I'll see you at the office, sir.
09:23Fuck me.
09:24Fuck me.
09:38Need something?
09:38Yes.
09:40Yes.
09:43Advil?
09:44No.
09:50I need to talk to him.
09:53About last night.
09:54Mr. Sandpepper, was I expecting you?
10:07Mr. Joy, if you could excuse us, please.
10:09Had to sneak away from the party planning.
10:17Retiring is harder than working, it seems.
10:21That Anderson case.
10:23Excellent work.
10:25Thank you, sir.
10:26You know, Bryce,
10:27you've always made me proud.
10:29I know you're expecting a certain promotion upon my departure.
10:37But this law firm was handed down to me by my father.
10:41It's got to stay in the family.
10:45Now, thankfully,
10:46I have a mutually beneficial solution to our problem.
10:53Is this a...
10:54Marriage contract.
10:57Marry my daughter.
10:58And you'll be Sandpepper and Sons' newest CEO.
11:07Excuse me, sir.
11:07I know it's unorthodox.
11:10But Melinda is on board.
11:13Is she?
11:14Bryce,
11:14I want to know that my daughter's taken care of.
11:18And you've always said you wanted to be part of this family.
11:22This is your chance.
11:25It's a win-win.
11:28That bad, huh?
11:58What did he say?
12:05Nothing.
12:07Nothing important.
12:10Okay.
12:13What did he want to talk to me about?
12:15I need this mess cleaned up.
12:24And a cup of coffee.
12:25Black.
12:29Now.
12:34So that's it, then?
12:37That's how it's going to be?
12:38I'm your boss.
12:40You're my secretary.
12:41Administrative assistant.
12:46No more Mr. Nice Guy, I guess.
12:50Moving forward,
12:51we need to keep things professional, Miss Joy.
12:55Last night was a mistake.
12:57Won't happen again.
12:58You got that, right?

31:13This is different.
31:16Rice is different.
31:17He's...
31:18I trust him.
31:23Look at you.
31:24You're glowing.
31:26I haven't seen you like this since...
31:29Maybe ever.
31:31I'm happy for you, babe.
31:33You deserve it.
31:36Is he in?
31:39Hi, ladies.
31:42Goodness.
31:43Isn't it gorgeous?
31:43Yeah, a family heirloom.
31:47But Bryce and I are not making the announcement until Daddy's retirement party next week.
31:52So, keep it a secret, okay?
31:54God, I just can't wait to put a ring on his finger.
31:58You know, let the world know that he's taken.
32:01Poppy, I need to see you again.
32:10Oh, baby, don't be mad.
32:12Everybody will know soon enough.
32:13I just wanted to let you know that we have a meeting with the wedding planner on Tuesday.
32:19Oh, you know what?
32:20Be a dear and put that in his schedule, will you?
32:23Poppy, this isn't...
32:24It's not what it looks like.
32:26Mr. Sandpepper gave me...
32:27Everything he's ever wanted.
32:30In a family.
32:32In a partnership.
32:34But we can't go around laughing about it now, can we?
32:37We don't want it all to go away.
32:41Must go.
32:42So, honeymoon shopping.
32:45Bye, baby.
32:49Just gonna...
32:51I'm sorry.
32:55It's...
32:56complicated.
32:58Guys always say that.
33:01And you know what?
33:02It never is.
33:05You lied to me.
33:08You made me your dirty little secret.
33:09Fuck you, Bryce.
33:14You have to trust me.
33:17I care about you more than...
33:19Right.
33:20As a piece on the side.
33:22Well, I told you.
33:24I'm done with that.
33:27And I'm done with this.
33:31Like what?
33:31Okay, so the office we saw earlier was gorgeous.
33:45I mean, a low open concept and...
33:48Ugh.
33:49The windows.
33:50Please tell me you'll poach me to be your assistant when you open up your own room.
33:53If you want to work for no money, benefits, or prestige...
33:56Totally.
33:58I don't know.
34:05Ugh.
34:06That's nice.
34:08I was right the first time.
34:10Men can't be trusted.
34:15Speaking of, I have a favorite to ask.
34:24I left some of my shit at his office and I was wandering.
34:28Well, he's actually at the retirement party.
34:32So, maybe you could go yourself.
34:36Maybe swipe a few clients from the Rolodex while you're at it.
34:39I like the way you think.
34:41You always do.
34:42I swear I have my planner right here.
34:57What is that?
35:04A marriage contract?
35:06Is Melinda forcing him to marry her?
35:28Will you clean up my eyes?
35:30What now?
35:32I thought we had a deal.
35:33We do.
35:34Good.
35:36I'll marry him.
35:40But I'll never love you.
35:42Is this about me getting rid of your little plaything?
35:45What was her name?
35:46Popper?
35:47Pepper?
35:48Her name's Poppy.
35:50Baby, I did you a favor.
35:52You were embarrassing yourself.
35:54Slumming it with your secretary.
35:55Don't you dare speak about her like that.
35:59For God's sakes, you're acting like you're in love with her or something.
36:03Oh, don't.
36:03Oh, there they are.
36:06The beautiful couple.
36:08Daddy.
36:09Mr. Sam Pepper, are you okay?
36:10Oh, Bryce, please.
36:12You're about to marry my daughter.
36:14Don't you think it's time you called me dad?
36:16If you'll excuse me.
36:21I think someone didn't get the hint.
36:24I can wait with you.
36:25It's fine.
36:26You're working this event.
36:29I'll wait till the intro is over.
36:31And then I'll tap to it.
36:33Okay.
36:33I got this.
36:40You'll come with me.
36:46You have a lot of nerves showing up here.
36:48We both know you're not good enough for him.
36:52You're just a little office slut with split ends.
36:56And you're just a spoiled brat whose daddy has to buy her a husband.
37:01I know about the contract.
37:05You're pathetic.
37:07And you're a homewrecker.
37:08I'm prepared to give him everything he wants.
37:12What do you have to offer?
37:16You're just the woman he screws.
37:18I'm the one he's going to marry.
37:28Everyone.
37:30Everyone, could I have your attention, please?
37:34When I was a young man,
37:36I thought I would sooner die in court than retire.
37:41But that was before I knew
37:42that I would be handing the keys to the castle over to my future son-in-law.
37:47I am honored to announce Bryce O'Connell
37:49will be the new head of Sandpepper and Sons.
37:55I always wanted Bryce to be the one to take over.
37:58I didn't know what I would do if I had to retire before Mellie married a lawyer.
38:03But not just a lawyer.
38:04I wanted my daughter to find a good man.
38:06Someone to make her laugh.
38:09Support her dreams.
38:11And build a family.
38:13Well, Bryce, anything to add?
38:15I lost my parents when I was 16.
38:32The Sandpeppers took me in and gave me a second chance at a family.
38:37Mr. and Mrs. Sandpepper, I saw true love.
38:46I never thought anyone could love me like that.
38:50I never thought I could love anyone like that.
38:57I just wanted this job.
39:02This, um, family.
39:04And then...
39:06What in all do you think you're doing?
39:14I can't do this.
39:16I can't do this.
39:19I can't marry you.
39:22Bryce, you're seriously going to choose that nobody over me?
39:26This is insane.
39:27She's a secretary.
39:29I am a Sandpepper.
39:30You had to hold my career hostage to get me to consider marrying you.
39:34I'd rather be out of my ass than be your husband.
39:40Mr. Sandpepper, all I ever wanted was for you to be proud of me.
39:44But I gotta be proud of me, too.
39:52Daddy, do something.
39:54Well, what more do you want me to do, Melinda?
39:57I've already offered the man, the entire company, to marry you.
40:14I'll be.
40:21Bryce.
40:24What are you?
40:25I'm with the friend.
40:29But...
40:30Why?
40:33Because being married to the job isn't working for me anymore.
40:41Because...
40:42You're the Spartans.
40:44Sexiest.
40:48Most infuriating woman I have ever met.
40:52Because I am.
40:57I love you.
41:01What about being partner?
41:04Sandpeppers, your family, everything you've ever wanted.
41:08Not everything.
41:09I don't want you to give up anything for me.
41:14What if I'm not enough?
41:16Not me.
41:18Not more than enough.
41:19And if this moment's all I get.
41:25Even if you tell me to get lost.
41:30I'll never regret walking away from you.
41:31Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:35Why didn't you tell me about the contract?
41:38Because I was scared.
41:41Scared of losing everything I thought I wanted.
41:44Then I lost you.
41:48Then I lost you.
41:48Then I was terrified.
41:56I am so sorry.
41:58If I ever made you feel less than.
41:59Because you're more than I've ever dreamed of.
42:10Good speech.
42:13I can see why you're decent, Cora.
42:16Decent?
42:17I'm fantastic.
42:18Well, you're unemployed, so.
42:26I'm out.
42:40Papa, you once told me all you ever wanted was someone to choose you.
42:44Where are you?
42:45I'm choosing you.
42:50If you'll have me.
42:57I shouldn't go in it.
43:15I will not.
43:17Here you go.
43:18I won't be.
43:23I fear you.
43:24Where are you?
43:25I love you too, by the way.
43:55I love you too, by the way.
44:25No problem there.
44:28Somehow I doubt either of us will welcome back at San Pepper and Sons.
44:35I gotta find enough around me.
44:39Ideally one that lets me put my name on the door.
44:45I've got an idea.
44:50I could use an assistant.
44:55I could use an assistant.
