He Said the Baby Was Too Expensive EP18 New Release ReelShort
Transcript
00:01Where's Dorian?
00:03I hope he's coming any second now.
00:05What kind of husband disappears in a moment like this?
00:08He'll be here soon.
00:09He's going to get his mom.
00:11Seriously, thank you, Anita.
00:14For being here.
00:15I'm your best friend.
00:17I wouldn't miss this for the world.
00:21I'm gonna go grab the doctor.
00:30Chairman Astor, this gift just came in for you.
00:37The CEO of Cartelier is a custom cheetah brooch.
00:41It's the purest ruby on the planet.
00:45Not bad.
00:58Dad?
01:00I'm about to have the baby.
01:02What?
01:05Iris!
01:07What?
01:08Are you really walking out on your family?
01:11Dad!
01:13You were wrong about Dorian, okay?
01:15He doesn't care about money!
01:17He loves me!
01:19And I choose him!
01:22If you walk through that gate, you are no longer my daughter.
01:27And you'll have nothing to do with the Astor name ever again!
01:35Even if you'd never call me your daughter again, I'm still your dad.
01:40And I love you, dad.
01:41I always will.
01:42But I choose him.
01:43Because our love is real, dad.
01:44And I'm gonna prove it to you.
01:45Congratulations, sir.
01:46You're gonna be your grandfather.
01:47You're gonna be your grandfather.
01:48Dorian still rubs me the wrong way.
01:49But I choose him.
01:50Because our love is real, dad.
01:51And I'm gonna prove it to you.
01:52And I'm gonna prove it to you.
02:08Congratulations, sir.
02:09You're gonna be your grandfather.
02:11Thank you very much.
02:13Come next time.
02:14I'd be your father.
02:15Don't forget.
02:16How did he get a dad on the train?
02:17Thorian?
02:18And I hope I'll never get started.
02:20Thorian still rubs me the wrong way.
02:21He barely looks like he can take care of a goldfish, let alone a family.
02:22Still, Irish chose him.
02:26And now they're about to have a baby.
02:28Maybe it's time I gave the guy a chance.
02:32Get the finest gifts money can buy.
02:35I want my grandchild to enter the world like royalty.
02:41Guess I'll finally see if Dorian's truly worthy of Iris.
02:45If not, he'll have me to answer to.
03:05Mr. Holland, Mr. Holland, what's wrong?
03:09What happened? You sounded like you were having a heart attack.
03:12Hurry, I need to get the Baltimore Tiara from the vault.
03:15I need it delivered to Ms. Astor ASAP.
03:17You're giving that away?
03:19I just got word that Ms. Astor, the richest heiress on Earth, is having a baby today.
03:23We must congratulate it with a most spectacular gift.
03:26If we pull this off, we could have a partnership with THE Astor Dominion.
03:30We're talking billions, Jessica! Billions!
03:33Now go! Run! Now!
03:51A private hospital? Doesn't it cost like two grand a night just to stay here?
03:56She's burning through your money like it grows on trees.
04:00Mom, please don't get worked up.
04:02The doctor said Iris has placenta previa.
04:04It's serious. There's a real risk of bleeding.
04:07Oh, Dorian! Your wife's just being dramatic.
04:12And who does she think she is? Some royal heiress or something?
04:15This is why we're bleeding money.
04:17If you let her stay in a fancy hospital like this today, tomorrow she's gonna wanna live in Nanny.
04:24And then what? A private chef? A butler?
04:28What do I do, Mom?
04:30You haven't paid the hospital bill yet, right?
04:32No, not yet.
04:34Good. When we get inside, stay quiet and follow my lead.
04:39Okay, Mom.
04:40Just remember, no other woman will ever love you as much as Mommy does.
04:46Oh, this is my precious baby.
04:50Iris, placenta previa is serious. You need to rest and take it easy.
04:56We've got you covered around the clock. We'll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe.
05:06Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet you.
05:09You are going to be the happiest baby in the entire planet, I promise.
05:18Tessa, Dorian, you're here.
05:21Look at this room. This isn't a hospital. She's treating labor like it's a spa retreat.
05:33Do you know that my friend's daughter-in-laws gave birth at local clinics and it only cost three grand total.
05:43But your wife is spending two grand a night.
05:47What?
05:48I don't know, Mom. I think she's just trying to do what's best for the baby.
05:51Ugh.
05:52Oh, Dorian. Don't be stupid.
05:56This has nothing to do with the baby.
05:59She's flaunting.
06:00She just wants to tell her friends that she gave birth in some luxury suite.
06:05I warned you, she is not as sweet as she seems.
06:10If you keep letting her burn through your money like this,
06:14one day you're gonna wake up with nothing left.
06:19Then what do I do?
06:21Don't worry, my sweet boy.
06:24You're gonna handle everything, okay?
06:26Okay.
06:27Let's go.
06:29Tessa, Dorian, what were you guys talking about out there?
06:32Oh, actually, um, the doctor said the bill was due.
06:35Do you think you could take care of that?
06:37Iris, do you have any idea what all this costs?
06:42A room like this runs 50, 60 grand.
06:45Dorian busts his ass every day to support this family.
06:50Stop blowing through his savings and leave this hospital immediately.
06:56What? Leave the hospital?
06:58A good wife doesn't rack up mountains of debt before the baby's even born.
07:03Could you just think about Dorian for once?
07:09Tessa, I love him.
07:12I'm not wasting anyone's money.
07:14I chose this hospital because I had placentia previa.
07:17I could bleed out.
07:18And it's the only hospital that is equipped for that kind of emergency.
07:21I'm not here for comfort.
07:23I'm here to protect the baby and make sure that they're safe.
07:28Dorian, I know how hard you work.
07:32Just let me stay one night and just to make sure the baby is stable and then we can transfer, I promise.
07:39Son, don't fall for that.
07:42We don't even know if the baby's coming tonight.
07:45If she drags this out, it's gonna be thousands more down the drain.
07:49Tessa, this is between my husband and I.
07:52Please just give us a moment.
07:54I'm his mother.
07:55Dorian's opinion is my opinion.
07:57Now, come on.
07:58We are leaving this hospital!
08:04Dorian!
08:07Iris, let's just go to a local clinic.
08:10Raising a kid is expensive.
08:12We need to save where we can.
08:13That's right.
08:14We're not the bad guys here.
08:16Tons of women give birth at local hospitals.
08:19But you are a greedy little leech.
08:23And I'm not letting you bleed my son dry.
08:26What do you think he is?
08:28Your personal ATM?
08:29I'm not trying to waste anyone's money.
08:32I have a low-lying placenta.
08:34And if something goes wrong, the BB could die.
08:38Don't go soft on her.
08:40Let her play you.
08:41Every pregnant woman has complications.
08:44Just because it's risky doesn't mean it's gonna happen.
08:47If you cave now, she will bleed you dry for the rest of your life.
08:52You're right, Mom.
08:54Thanks for always having my back.
08:56Mm-hmm.
08:57I'm here for you.
08:59Unlike certain people, I will never let someone make a fool of you.
09:05Iris, if you want to stay in this hospital, fine.
09:10But you're gonna pay for it yourself.
09:12I'm not letting a greedy little wife like you waste one more cent of my son's money.
09:20Ah!
09:21Something's wrong with me.
09:23You called an entrepreneur.
09:25No!
09:26Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
09:33Mm-hmm.
09:34Mm-hmm.
09:35I'll see Iris first.
09:58You wait here.
10:00Do not take one more step until she agrees to pay for it herself.
10:07Dorian, what happened to you?
10:09Okay.
10:10Okay.
10:11I don't know how to pay for it.
10:17Hi.
10:18Could you settle the bill with us, please?
10:21See?
10:22She had the cash all along.
10:25Women like her always pretend that they're broke until it's time to spend your money.
10:32She doesn't feel the pressure now.
10:34She's never gonna know what it takes to keep a family afloat.
10:38You're right, Mom.
10:39You always are.
10:40You really are the only person that's truly looking out for me.
10:43That's right.
10:44My precious baby boy.
10:46Ooh.
10:47I'm sorry, ma'am.
10:48Your card was declined.
10:50You're short about $20,000.
10:52If you can't pay, we have to discharge you.
11:01This is everything I have left.
11:03She really broke.
11:05Doesn't make any sense.
11:07With her three jobs, she should have saved at least 20 grand.
11:10Yeah, well, that's because I cover all the household bills.
11:13And ever since I got pregnant, everything has been going to prenatal stuff.
11:16Vitamins, supplements, hospital visits.
11:18I mean, it all adds up, Dorian.
11:20What on earth has she been through these past three years?
11:24Dorian, can you just...
11:27Please, just consider it alone.
11:29Just...
11:30I swear I'll wear you back.
11:32Absolutely not.
11:34Don't fall for this.
11:36Every wife stashes emergency cash.
11:39Did you see how she pulled that card out like it was nothing?
11:42Do you think it's her only one?
11:44She's still hiding money.
11:46I know she is.
11:50Dorian, please.
11:51Please just help me pay the 20 grand.
11:53I swear I'll pay you back.
11:56Don't fall for her act.
11:58I know what you're playing at.
12:00You're trying to squeeze money out of Dorian.
12:03And then you're just going to run away without paying a cent.
12:07How could she say that?
12:13Okay.
12:14Okay, Dorian.
12:16I think something's going to happen with the baby.
12:18The baby's in trouble.
12:20You're not fooling anyone.
12:22If you're really so broke,
12:24why are you insisting on staying at such a luxury hospital?
12:28You've already drained him dry.
12:31What more do you want from him?
12:33Dorian?
12:34Dorian, please.
12:35I'm begging you.
12:36Please just say something.
12:37Don't fall for her drama.
12:40You have two choices.
12:41Either we can transfer her to a cheaper hospital,
12:44or she can pay for everything herself.
12:46And if she doesn't want to do either,
12:49then we don't want the baby anyway.
12:53Okay.
12:54I'll listen to you, Mom.
12:56Dorian, I gave up my family to be with you.
12:59And when you started your business, I supported you.
13:02I gave you everything that I have.
13:05I mean, I paid for the mortgage and the car payments.
13:08I have nothing left.
13:10Please save us the sob story.
13:13You ruined your own ties with your family.
13:16Don't blame Dorian for that.
13:18If you want to stay here, then fine.
13:21Pay for it yourself.
13:23But the Bates family is not paying a single cent.
13:31Dorian, it hurts.
13:32Please, can I just...
13:33Can I just see a doctor of hers?
13:35Oh, my God, Iris.
13:36Stop acting like the victim.
13:38Now it all makes sense.
13:40You stayed here to show off.
13:42When did you become so shallow?
13:45You think I'm shallow?
13:47Well, aren't you?
13:48If you were really worried about the baby,
13:51why wouldn't you take out a loan?
13:53This is 2025.
13:55There's apps for that.
13:57You want me to take out a highly predatory high interest loan
14:02to give birth.
14:03Who's going to be your grandchild?
14:05I mean, how could you be so heartless?
14:07Are you really guilt tripping me right now?
14:11You're the one refusing to pay for your own baby.
14:14God, in my day, we didn't need luxury hospitals to give birth.
14:19We gave birth at home for free.
14:22I don't know what my son saw in a gold digger like you.
14:26This is ridiculous.
14:28I didn't marry Dorian for the money.
14:30Stop lying!
14:32If you weren't after our money,
14:35why haven't you taken out the loan yet?
14:38Quit stalling!
14:40Daughters!
14:45Bastards!
14:46How dare you treat my precious daughter like this!
