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