Short filmTranscript
00:00For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:08I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:10But while I wrote page after page, he betrayed me.
00:16He was having an affair with another woman.
00:18And how did I find out?
00:20A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:23He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:2725 years of marriage.
00:30Gone.
00:31Just like that.
00:36Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:38I wish I could join you.
00:40Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:44It's a work thing, honey.
00:45Besides, you don't even like their music.
00:48Oh, actually, I do like...
00:49Honey, I gotta go.
00:51Can't wait for dinner.
00:51Make me something delicious.
00:54Okay, honey.
01:00Anne, Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.
01:12If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
01:16The least he could do is give me some credit, right?
01:18Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
01:20Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
01:22What's mine is his and vice versa.
01:24I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over at CU.
01:28Anne, why publish it into your family business?
01:29I'm just looking over it on your behalf.
01:32We'll talk about this later.
01:33Gotta run, Henry.
01:34Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
01:36That's weird.
01:50The concert should be over by now.
01:57Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
01:59She's so annoying.
02:01She can't go a single day without calling to blab about some unimportant shit.
02:07Hang on, baby.
02:09Yes, honey.
02:11I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon.
02:13Dinner's almost ready.
02:15Okay, yes.
02:15I will be right home, honey.
02:19All right.
02:21When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
02:25It has been years.
02:28I can't stand her body anymore.
02:30Well, especially now that I have someone like you.
02:33You better be telling the truth.
02:35Oh, I swear on my life.
02:37You are the only woman I love.
02:43Fuck!
02:45Okay.
02:46Either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.
02:49Okay, I got it.
02:50Baby, I'm going to go.
02:50I'm going to catch you later.
02:52Okay.
02:53But you better divorce her soon.
02:55I'm sick of this.
02:57Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
02:58I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.
03:00No, I'm going to explain when I get home.
03:02Just hurry home.
03:06Hi, honey.
03:07You're back.
03:08And just in time, dinner's ready.
03:11How was the concert?
03:12Was it fun?
03:13No, not really.
03:14You know how these work things are.
03:15Well, maybe next time I should join you, then it'll be more fun.
03:19Oh, come on.
03:20Let me have your coat.
03:28Oh, Olivia called.
03:30She said she'll be back soon.
03:33Oh, my God.
03:34Wait.
03:34That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
03:37No way.
03:38Isn't he married?
03:39Who's he with?
03:41Oh, shit.
03:42Honey, did you hear me?
03:45Huh?
03:45What?
03:46I'm sorry, honey.
03:47What did you say?
03:47Olivia and Ken.
03:48They're going to be joining us for dinner.
03:50Okay, that's great, honey.
03:51Okay.
03:51Okay.
03:51Okay.
03:51Okay.
03:51That's great, honey.
03:53He may not have taken me to that Real Play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
04:17I've chosen a good man to marry.
04:19Hey, Dad.
04:23It's the big sober anniversary today, right?
04:2625 years of marriage.
04:28Wow.
04:29Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
04:32Yes, of course.
04:35Anne, my angel, whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.
04:43You're my whole life.
04:44Thank you, my love.
04:50Hurry up and open it, Mom.
04:59A pen.
05:01Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
05:04I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
05:07So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed, and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
05:14Wow.
05:15Dad, you're such a romantic.
05:18I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.
05:24Without you, none of this would be possible.
05:27You are my muse.
05:28Everyone writes acknowledgement, it's just no big deal.
05:31What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
05:39Price, insignificant.
05:41You better not learn that from my dad.
05:44Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
05:50I'm a career woman, and career women appreciate investment pieces.
05:54What's wrong with your mother?
06:01She's just being dramatic.
06:03Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
06:07Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
06:12Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
06:19Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
06:24No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
06:32I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
06:37Anne, is it just me, or does this look kind of like your husband?
06:47Is Jonathan cheating on me?
06:49Lily Ann, my muse, happiness.
07:19Every anniversary.
07:20Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
07:23You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.
07:28Lily Ann.
07:31Lily.
07:33Anne.
07:34To my most beloved Anne.
07:36He was never talking about me.
07:39Who is this woman?
07:40How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?
07:52Oh, come on.
07:53What is wrong with you, woman?
07:54Is this the work you've been so busy with?
07:57Who the hell is Lily Ann?
07:59Did you go through my things?
08:01This is an invasion of my privacy.
08:03Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me when you are the one who brought
08:05evidence of your affair into our home?
08:07Lillian and I are professional acquaintances.
08:10We discuss art and literature.
08:12Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
08:16I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.
08:21That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.
08:24I suppose you're going to tell me that she finds it necessary to discuss your work dressed
08:27in lacy lingerie.
08:29You are.
08:31Anne, you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen
08:34to your insane accusations.
08:37I'll be in my study.
08:41No, you don't.
08:42No, you don't.
08:43You are going to stand there.
08:44You are going to explain everything to me.
08:45Mom, calm down.
08:46This is all a big misunderstanding.
08:49Okay, Lily Ann is a good person.
08:51Her and dad have a professional relationship.
08:54You know her?
08:55You're going to defend some other woman?
08:57Mom, Lily Ann is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
09:01Her and dad work together.
09:03It's her job.
09:04Look, I get it.
09:05You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
09:07Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
09:10Wait a second.
09:13How long have you known about them?
09:17Olivia, you're my daughter.
09:18I carried you inside of me for nine months.
09:21I gave up everything for you.
09:23And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from me.
09:26Let it go!
09:28Clearly, you watched too many soap operas, and they filled your head with crazy ideas.
09:32My own baby calling me crazy.
09:35Huh.
09:37Is that what you think, too?
09:39That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?
09:42That I would stir up trouble for no reason?
09:44Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.
09:48So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.
09:53Let us deal with the thinking.
09:55Stick to the housework.
09:57As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you.
10:00To keep you happy and healthy and fed.
10:03Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?
10:06Did those shoes shine themselves?
10:08Three meals a day for 25 years?
10:14These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and filth.
10:20Every day you two come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.
10:24That I have taken care of every little detail.
10:27But for me?
10:27For the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid.
10:35Have I ever gotten a break?
10:37Ever?
10:39So, first you're mad about some imaginary affair.
10:44Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
10:49Your stay-at-home mom and housewife.
10:52Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.
10:55That's the job.
10:56That's what you're supposed to do.
10:57That's what you want us to give you a medal.
10:59You're right.
11:00I did choose this life.
11:02And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
11:05So, shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
11:09At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.
11:11The one that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.
11:16My God.
11:18How could you say something so hurtful?
11:21You want to embarrass yourself?
11:23In front of your daughter?
11:25Her husband?
11:26For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.
11:33While you have been sitting here, indulging in a life of luxury.
11:37You should be grateful.
11:38Between the two of us, who should really be grateful?
11:41Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?
11:47Mom, I think you need to calm down.
11:50Oh, I'm calm.
11:52Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.
11:54Are you threatening me?
11:56I'm reminding you.
11:57I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
12:02What, are you going to go out there?
12:04Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?
12:06Who is going to believe a housewife?
12:09Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.
12:12I'll just show them my manuscripts.
12:14All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.
12:18The manuscripts.
12:20God, I bet that's something you keep locked up, safe and sound, huh?
12:23God forbid something should happen to the manuscript.
12:27You.
12:28No.
12:29No, no, no, no.
12:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:42You burned my manuscript.
12:45I put 25 years of my heart into those.
12:47It wasn't Dad, Mom.
12:51It was me.
12:52And if you go and say anything, I'm going to go and tell the press that you're a liar.
13:00Dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House.
13:06And if anything happens to his reputation, all of our contracts will be cancelled.
13:11And our entire family will take the hit.
13:13So this was all about your father becoming CEO.
13:18Wake up, mom.
13:19This is the real world, not some soap opera.
13:22Why can't you just act like any other housewife and pretend it didn't happen?
13:27So why don't you just go and buy some clothes and get your fucking nails done?
13:32What are you trying to achieve by causing a scene like this?
13:40I want a divorce.
13:42I don't want to be part of this traitorous family anymore.
13:46I'm drawing up the divorce papers.
13:48Soon you'll see who really provided for this family.
13:50Long.
13:52Okay, let her go.
13:55Go ahead, see what the real world's all about.
13:58Two weeks time, she's going to be back here begging me to take her back.
14:03Oh, I left some belongings in your suitcase.
14:07What do they look like?
14:09Ooh, they're red as flames.
14:14Soft to the touch.
14:16You need to hurry up over here and collect them.
14:19I'll only step foot in your house once I become your wife.
14:23You will be soon, honey.
14:25Have a little sneak preview in the meantime.
14:27Oh, my God, baby, you look incredible.
14:37Years in advance for all that you promised me.
14:41Lily-Anne, my goddess, my muse.
14:46Miss Roy, Mr. Henry's office is over here.
15:10Babe, where'd you go?
15:14I just saw your wife walk into the CEO's office.
15:17Could she be trying to report our relationship?
15:20What?
15:23Anne, what a pleasant surprise.
15:27What's going on?
15:28Henry, I came here today to ask you to stay on as CEO.
15:31You've led this company to become what it is.
15:33There's no reason for you to leave.
15:35Yeah, but without your father's mentorship,
15:38I never would have come this far.
15:39I promised him that I would look after you.
15:42Roy is always meant to have been your company.
15:44Henry, I knew I could put my faith in you.
15:46Thank you, but now it's time to return to its rightful owner.
15:51Per your request, I was just getting ready to call Jonathan
15:54to talk to him about taking over as CEO.
15:58The other reason that I came here today
16:02was to tell you to revoke that offer.
16:04John and I are getting divorced.
16:06He's been cheating on me for God knows how long
16:10with another Anne, Lillianne, his real muse apparently.
16:15Assholes.
16:16I've been giving him special treatment because of you.
16:19How dare he disrespect you?
16:21You know what?
16:22I'm gonna fire that asshole right now
16:24and that idiot Lillianne.
16:26Listen, listen.
16:30Calm down.
16:33Fine.
16:35Listen, I don't want you to fire him.
16:37Why not?
16:39You still have feelings for him?
16:41We were married for 25 years.
16:43I mean, we've weathered so much together.
16:45Actually, Henry, go ahead and announce his position as CEO.
16:50But I will be adding one condition.
16:57This plan will hold control over him.
17:04Olivia, there's no need to be so nervous.
17:06Maybe your mom went to the CEO to beg for a job.
17:09No, she's definitely gonna bring up the ghostwriting issue.
17:12Then dad's reputation is gonna be ruined
17:14and my contracts are gonna be canceled.
17:16If I have to drag her back here myself, I will.
17:19Darling, listen.
17:21Do not worry.
17:22Lily's keeping an eye on her.
17:24Now, if Anne tries to expose me,
17:26we are going to go to the press,
17:28tell them it was her having the affair.
17:31And now she's trying to slander my reputation
17:33and steal half my assets.
17:34Great idea, dad.
17:36That way, her public image will be ruined
17:38and nobody will believe mom.
17:40The housewife wants to bring me down.
17:43Anne.
17:44I am gonna show you
17:45that the real world
17:46is not as simple as you think it is.
17:52Henry.
17:54Hmm.
17:55Am I being too harsh on them?
17:56Jonathan and I were together for so long.
17:59He must care about me still,
18:00even just a little bit, right?
18:02Are you getting cold feet?
18:03No, I am.
18:05If Jonathan were to
18:06have a change of heart
18:08and show me that he still cares,
18:10I might give him another chance.
18:13Anne, do not give in so easily.
18:15You've done everything for your family.
18:17But please, it's time
18:18that you put yourself first for once.
18:22Thanks, Henry.
18:23You're the best friend a girl could ask for.
18:25Actually, I'm the worst.
18:27I should have checked in on you
18:29a long time ago.
18:30I chose this life,
18:32so I need to face those consequences.
18:34Let's do like we talked about.
18:37I'll keep you updated.
18:38Okay.
18:41Anne, you're too nice.
18:42Mr. Harper.
18:50Wasn't it the woman who just left Mr. Asher's wife?
18:53Mrs. Villanova.
18:54Isn't it still work hours?
18:56Go back and set up a meeting with HR.
18:58I'm going to be calling Jonathan Asher
19:00and giving him notice about his position in this company.
19:02Mr. Harper.
19:04Jonathan is our best-selling author.
19:06You can't destroy his career
19:09over some one-sided statement.
19:11What one-sided statement are you talking about?
19:14Hmm?
19:15I'm going to be calling him
19:17to tell him he'll be the next CEO of this company.
19:20Would you call that
19:21destroying his career?
19:23Oh, my God!
19:26What an incredibly wise decision.
19:30Why are you so happy about this?
19:32Are you and Mr. Asher that close?
19:34I...
19:36I'm a really big fan of his.
19:40So, naturally,
19:42I'm really happy for him.
19:44You don't even know
19:45the real author your vanderling over is.
19:48I need you to hurry up
19:49and make that meeting with HR.
19:51I'm going to inform Jonathan personally.
19:59Hello, my darling.
20:01Johnny,
20:02I have amazing news.
20:04You're about to become
20:05the CEO.
20:10What did you just say?
20:13Roy Publishing House
20:14is hiring me as CEO!
20:17Yes!
20:18I'm absolutely here!
20:19I'm about to prep your meeting with HR.
20:22Henry has full speed in you.
20:24Anne's nonsense
20:25went in one ear
20:26and out the other.
20:30I hope you still remember
20:32the promise you made.
20:33Once you become the CEO,
20:36then...
20:37I'll become the new
20:38Mrs. Asher.
20:40Ah, yes.
20:41I never go back on my work,
20:43my darling.
20:44Well, then you better hurry up
20:45and clear our hands drawers.
20:47Because I've got a lot
20:49of lingerie to put in them.
20:50your wish is my command.
20:56Anne, everything's been prepared.
21:07I'll await your instructions.
21:08Thank you, Henry.
21:10Thank you, Henry.
21:14Jonathan,
21:15we built this house together
21:17from the ground up.
21:19We've been through thick and thin
21:20together for 25 years.
21:23Do you really want to demolish it all?
21:26You said I was your life.
21:27But then,
21:29you turned around
21:31and embraced another woman.
21:33Was everything a lie?
21:36I'm willing to sacrifice
21:38everything for my family,
21:40but I will not tolerate betrayal.
21:43Today,
21:43I will tell you the whole truth.
21:46It will be your very last chance.
21:48What's the meaning of this?
22:10Jonathan?
22:11It's exactly what you wanted, Anne.
22:14We're getting a divorce.
22:18Are you sure about this?
22:26Oh.
22:27I've already signed the papers.
22:31So I was willing to try
22:32and save our marriage,
22:34but you've already written it off.
22:36Henry, go ahead
22:37and announce his position as CEO,
22:39but I will be adding one condition.
22:41I'll be taking over
22:42as chairwoman again.
22:44Therefore,
22:45any hiring that's done,
22:46such as CEO,
22:47will require my approval.
22:50Are you in such a hurry
22:51to kick me out?
22:54What a shame.
22:56I was thinking about
22:57giving you all a second chance.
22:59Oh, stop bluffing it.
23:00Your truth is,
23:01you could come in here,
23:01you could crawl,
23:03beg me.
23:05I'd never let you back
23:06in this house.
23:07Mom,
23:07it's one thing
23:08to throw a tantrum at home,
23:10but it's a different thing
23:11entirely to cause
23:12a scene at the company.
23:13Hey, Dad is a public figure.
23:15You almost destroyed his career,
23:16and you think
23:17he's going to be willing
23:18to reconcile?
23:19Exactly, Anne.
23:21You shouldn't have tried
23:22to expose Mr. Asher
23:24for using a ghostwriter.
23:26He might have let you stay
23:27and write more books for him.
23:31Jonathan,
23:32you know deep down inside
23:34that without me,
23:34you will never write
23:35another word.
23:36Do you really think
23:39that I need to rely
23:40on writing for a living?
23:42Soon the entire company
23:44will be mine.
23:45So you really think
23:46that you'll be unstoppable
23:47once you're CEO?
23:48Is that why you're in such a hurry
23:50to get rid of me?
23:51The faithful wife
23:52who stood by your side
23:54through thick and thin
23:55and traded me in
23:57for some shiny new toy?
24:00What or who I play with
24:02is none of your business.
24:04I have kept a roof
24:05over your head for years.
24:07I can forgive
24:08your ungratefulness,
24:09but I cannot forgive you
24:13stabbing me in the back
24:14during the most pivotal moment
24:15of my career.
24:17I mean, how am I supposed
24:17to stay with such a vile woman
24:19by my side?
24:20What on earth
24:21are you talking about?
24:22I have never stabbed you
24:24in the back.
24:25Without me,
24:26you would still be
24:27an unpublished wannabe
24:29and not the next CEO
24:30of Roy Publishing.
24:31Your storytelling skills
24:33have really gone down
24:35the drain.
24:35Mom, you should really
24:36stop with the soap opera shit.
24:38Like, what's next?
24:39You're going to tell us
24:40you're a wealthy heiress?
24:42You need to stop saying
24:43this idiotic stuff
24:44or people are going to
24:45think you're a joke.
24:47That's right.
24:49I'm a joke.
24:51A joke for being so blind.
24:54For choosing a selfish
24:56brood of a man
24:57to be my husband
24:58like him.
24:59For having a thankless
25:00daughter like you.
25:02For having a pushover
25:03for a son-in-law.
25:05You're right, Olivia.
25:06How could I have spent
25:0825 years of my life
25:09catering to you
25:10ungrateful liars?
25:13I must have been delusional.
25:17I'll sign the divorce papers.
25:20From now on,
25:21I have no connection
25:22to this family.
25:26wait.
25:38Whoa, what are you doing?
25:39You can't just get a divorce
25:40like that.
25:42This is a supplemental document.
25:45You must agree
25:46to its terms.
25:48Dad's assets
25:48aren't pocket change.
25:49You can't just take half.
25:50especially since
25:52they'll eventually
25:53come to me.
25:54How can you be
25:56so cold?
25:58First, you're kicking me out
26:00and now you want me
26:00to leave empty-handed?
26:02Olivia,
26:04you're my daughter.
26:06Don't you have
26:06any sympathy for me?
26:08I'm not like you, Mom.
26:09I'm a career woman.
26:11Don't take it personally.
26:12She always was
26:14too emotional.
26:15Why does everyone
26:17in this family
26:18look down on me?
26:20I've taken care of you
26:21both for 25 years.
26:22I've given you
26:23everything that I had.
26:24Mom, you didn't do shit
26:25for 25 years.
26:27So what?
26:27You cooked us
26:28a few meals?
26:29You didn't earn
26:30a single cent
26:31for this family.
26:33Dad was the one
26:35who consistently
26:36worked,
26:37enslaved,
26:38and earned
26:38every penny
26:39that was put
26:40into this house.
26:42Not you.
26:42Did you ever
26:44stop to think
26:45about why
26:46Roy Publishing House
26:47gave your father
26:48a chance?
26:49Why they groomed him
26:50for all of these years?
26:52Well, obviously.
26:54Because Dad
26:54is incredibly talented.
26:57Dad is about
26:58to become the CEO
26:59of Roy Publishing House.
27:02He'll have stocks
27:03worth tens
27:04of millions
27:05of dollars.
27:07And if he even
27:07gave half
27:08to a housewife
27:10like you,
27:10he may as well
27:13throw all that money
27:14in the fire.
27:22Jonathan,
27:23is this the way
27:24you feel too?
27:26That you earned
27:27everything for this
27:28family?
27:29I had nothing
27:30to do with it.
27:31I want to hear
27:32you say it
27:33yourself.
27:35You
27:35haven't contributed
27:38anything.
27:39I'll tell you
27:41what.
27:42I'll give you
27:43a little bit
27:43of alimony
27:44once we get
27:44the divorce settled.
27:46But,
27:48as far as
27:49what's in this
27:49house,
27:50you don't get
27:52anything.
27:58Oh my,
27:59what a generous
28:00offer.
28:03Roy Publishing House
28:04gave you
28:05everything.
28:06made you
28:08a best-selling
28:08author,
28:09gave you
28:10this huge
28:11house,
28:11a fancy
28:12car,
28:13and you're
28:13still saying
28:14that it had
28:14nothing to do
28:16with me.
28:18Fine,
28:19give me that
28:19paper.
28:22I'll sign
28:22whatever you
28:23want.
28:23I'll sign
28:23whatever you want.
28:25and I knew
28:45this would
28:45happen.
28:46I'll be there
28:47soon.
28:48Jonathan,
28:49Olivia,
28:50Ken.
28:50the way
28:51you've
28:51treated me
28:52today
28:52has destroyed
28:53any love
28:53that I still
28:54had left
28:54for this
28:55family.
28:55But you've
28:56also
28:56destroyed
28:58your futures.
29:01Oh,
29:01boo-hoo!
29:02Here you go
29:03again with
29:03the soap opera
29:04stuff.
29:05I think
29:06we're done
29:06here.
29:06Hurry up
29:07and leave.
29:15Oh.
29:16Now that
29:17must be
29:17the CEO
29:18right now.
29:18God,

29:23person
29:23to announce
29:24the transfer
29:24of power.
29:25That old
29:26son of a gun,
29:26he's never
29:27got any
29:27patience,
29:27does he?
29:28See,
29:29the CEO
29:30himself
29:30came in
29:31person
29:31to notify
29:32us.
29:33Well,

29:34CEO

29:36good news,

30:23Yeah,

30:38Dad.
30:39You've

30:39right time,
30:40Lily.
30:40Mr. Asher

30:42finally
30:43divorced.
30:44You and
30:44Dad were
30:45meant to

30:46It's a
30:46stroke of
30:47fate.
30:48Is this
30:48true?
30:50It's
30:51true,
30:51honey.
30:52I finally

31:07Well,
31:08that
31:08is the
31:09best gift
31:10any man
31:11could get.
31:12Lily,
31:13from now
31:14on,
31:15you're a
31:15member of
31:16the family.
31:17You should
31:18just move
31:18in already.
31:20Yes,
31:20we've already
31:21emptied all
31:21the drawers
31:21for you.
31:23Don't you
31:23think you're
31:24all celebrating
31:24a bit
31:25prematurely?
31:27Jonathan,
31:27do you
31:28really
31:28think
31:28that you're
31:28CEO now
31:29just because
31:30your mistress
31:30brought you
31:31some cheap
31:31champagne?
31:33That's
31:33enough,
31:34Anne.
31:34I've already
31:34told you,
31:35Lily is
31:35not just
31:36some
31:36mistress.
31:37Oh,
31:38that's
31:38right.
31:38She's a
31:39literary
31:39agent.
31:41So I'm
31:42sure that
31:42she's here
31:43on official
31:43business.
31:50I think
31:50we all
31:51know what
31:51kind of
31:52work
31:53she does.
31:54jealous
31:57hag.
32:00Don't
32:00worry,
32:01Mr.
32:02Asher.
32:03Let her
32:03say what
32:04she wants.
32:05I am
32:05here on
32:06official
32:07business,
32:07and the
32:08truth always
32:10prevails.
32:11That's right.
32:12Yeah.
32:12You're just a
32:13junior agent at
32:14Roy Publishing,
32:15aren't you?
32:15Are you even
32:16qualified to make
32:17this kind of
32:17announcement?
32:18because I was
32:19under the
32:19impression that
32:20Henry Harper,
32:22the CEO,
32:23was the only
32:24one with that
32:24kind of
32:24authority.
32:26You stupid
32:27housewife.
32:28You don't
32:29understand what
32:30happens in
32:31the professional
32:31world.
32:32The CEO is
32:34a very busy
32:35man, and so
32:36I am entrusted
32:37to deliver this
32:38announcement.
32:40Hmm.
32:40Did he really
32:41entrust you with
32:43this announcement?
32:43Well, then,
32:45why don't we
32:46just go ahead and
32:46give him a call
32:47to confirm?
32:54Mom, stop
32:56embarrassing
32:56yourself.
32:57Why would a
32:57housewife like
32:58you have the
32:59CEO's number?
33:00Roy Publishing
33:01House has tens
33:02of thousands of
33:03employees.
33:04Do you really
33:04expect the CEO
33:05to do everything
33:06himself?
33:07Sweet Lillianne
33:08is one of his
33:09top agents,
33:10and she absolutely
33:12has the authority
33:12to come here
33:13and notify us.
33:14I wasn't
33:15talking to you.
33:17You're just
33:18starting off.
33:18You only have
33:19a few clients,
33:19don't you, dear?
33:20What do you know
33:21about how an elite
33:22publishing company
33:23works?
33:24I know more
33:25than you do.
33:26What do you think
33:27real work is?
33:28Going out and
33:29buying groceries
33:30or doing the
33:31laundry?
33:32Please, just
33:33stop, Mom.
33:34You're embarrassing
33:35yourself.
33:35be gentler to your
33:37mother, Olivia.
33:39Oh, and, you know,
33:42I completely
33:42understand where
33:43you're coming from.
33:44You've been in the
33:45house for so long.
33:48Of course, you're a
33:48little ignorant.
33:51I really do take
33:52pity on you, but
33:54now it's time for
33:55someone more worthy
33:57to take Oprah's
33:59woman to the house.
34:00I'm lucky to have
34:02found one.
34:05Dad, I'm so
34:06happy for you
34:07too.
34:08With your reputation
34:09and Lily's business
34:10acumen, you guys
34:11are a match made
34:12in heaven.
34:18Johnny, it's the
34:19CEO.
34:20You must be
34:21checking in to see
34:21if you've heard
34:22the good news yet.
34:23Hurry up, answer
34:24it.
34:25Yeah, and put it
34:26on speaker so
34:26someone can hear
34:28what the CEO
34:28really has to say.
34:31Hello?
34:32Mr. Harper?
34:33Yeah, I told you
34:34you're going to be
34:34in a meeting with
34:34HR.
34:35Where the hell
34:36you're going off
34:36to, you idiot?
