Short filmTranscript
00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:30I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:04But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:53Mom, Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:04Honey!
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you, lol.
00:02:14But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:37I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:49Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:59No! I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:24I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Gil, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that.
00:03:44Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck.
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets. Give me chicken nuggets.
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:12Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:22I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:36I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:52Seriously.
00:04:53Your only job is to take care of the house as a family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Mwah! Love you.
00:05:27I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:54my scripts,
00:05:55my career,
00:05:56my future,
00:05:58all pushed aside.
00:05:59At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me
00:06:05to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough
00:06:26for everything that you've done,
00:06:29but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:33I am, Mom.
00:06:35And I promise,
00:06:37very soon,
00:06:39everything's gonna change.
00:06:42You're both wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:47I gotta go, buddy.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:06Preston Eastwood,
00:07:07the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:09and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood,
00:07:15the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45That's all.
00:08:06I was just the king.
00:08:08It destroyed me.
00:08:18I've seen...
00:08:20I've seen the blood.
00:08:34Maria!
00:08:35Vote!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:27Good to see you.
00:09:35Oh, my gosh.
00:09:36How long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:51Oh, there he is, the assistant.
00:09:54I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:58How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop.
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into
00:10:09our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel.
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:26My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:59when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, man, I'm careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:23Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:26Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:45Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:51Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01Damn, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So...
00:12:29Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So, anyways...
00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:40Screw you.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's cops.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:06Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:26I don't...
00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56I'm Preston Eastwood.
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:07Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:10Are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24Because they're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:20My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:25But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom schools it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:44Come on, let's go, Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:10I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:01You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:24It's just part of the job.
00:17:25Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:53Final, you're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:58I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:00Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:04Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09That's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:14Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:25You know what?
00:18:26Maybe I should go.
00:18:27I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:30I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:42I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17But don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're the top.
00:19:46You need to go right out.
00:19:47Alright.
00:19:49Oh, man.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I, I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:17You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house
00:20:33husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:38God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:51No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I, I, what?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:56You two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:05And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um, I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:42Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:47I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:00If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:17Look at her now.
00:22:19Playing house for another man.
00:22:21If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:25There he is.
00:22:26I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m. man.
00:22:27No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:40Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:41I've got some.
00:22:42What do you mean?
00:22:43Oh, oh.
00:22:44Yeah, there you go.
00:22:45I don't need some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:22:47Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:48Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:49Hey, uh...
00:22:50You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:51Yeah, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:53I've got some, what do you need, oh, oh, yeah, there you go, I don't need some of this shit,
00:23:03but I doubt you'll like it, yeah, this shit's straight up protein, bulking up for a new
00:23:08Marvel movie, hey, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night,
00:23:17right, no, a grown man that needs a babysitter, why would I be threatened,
00:23:23by that, it's finally time to make this hack disappear,
00:23:31phone, Jackson, Mr. Eastwood, I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me,
00:23:47and it's unfair, that's a shame, huh, you know what, let me grab it for you, little man,
00:23:51here we go, ooh, no, not to play with that, you never let me do anything, come on, it's just a fish
00:24:04tank, Daniel, you guys can afford an aquarium, it's not about the money, it's about him learning how to
00:24:10respect living things, unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples, yeah, what's that supposed to mean,
00:24:17you're so annoying, don't push, I said don't push, go get a book or something,
00:24:30why don't you get your hands off him, he's a Donovan, not some pathetic man sir,
00:24:34don't pick you, what the hell, just shut me, call it a lesson, I'm teaching the kid to go after what
00:24:43he wants, he's not your kid, I wish I was, I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever,
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face, ouch, I mean, you just hurt your son, so why don't you make this
00:24:55little vacayers, maybe it will be, but until then, I'm still the man of the house, you, man of the
00:25:04house, please, you're a pussy in an apron, I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad
00:25:09or a husband, and you're washed apart, still riding on all your old headlines, how were your latest box
00:25:15office numbers, huh, I heard your agents begging for scrap, I'm a fucking star, a star, a star that needs
00:25:23his ex to bring it back into the spotlight, Jackson, come on, I don't want you hanging around this
00:25:28clowning, no, I'm not going, Preston's way cooler than you, Preston, Preston, Preston,
00:25:53you know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood, what was that?
00:26:09Daniel, what is happening? It was dad, mom, dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood, you're so scared,
00:26:17that would be pretty good, baby, what the hell, Daniel? I just wanted to hang out with
00:26:21Jackson, I came in looking for a fight, what? I didn't? Daniel, what the hell is wrong with
00:26:26you, you're acting like a jealous child, I thought you were bigger than this petty shit,
00:26:31he threw a fish tank at me, it's just a fucking fish tank, bro, I'm up, remember we're in the
00:26:35public eye, what if your little outburst was caught by the press? What, everyone knows your
00:26:40precious Preston attacked me? Maybe I should go, I'm sorry, no, oh my god, he's lying, you're
00:26:51a monster, and in front of your son, you have to be kidding, we have to get you to the hospital,
00:26:59we'll talk about this when I get home, come on, clean this up, soon you won't be coming home
00:27:07to me, ever, again, she's mine now, loser, hello, segment one, what's your emergency?
00:27:23Wait a minute, I think I hit an hour, I need an ambulance now, now,
00:27:29you did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with liquid. To be honest, that's, I could use a break from home. Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah, pretty obvious. Most married folks that come in here are miserable. I shouldn't
00:27:59be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here, with Preston Eastwood, true love story, holding
00:28:07hands, wiping tears, I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice. You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official. She even helped me reposition
00:28:22Preston when his IV was twisted. She was so sweet.
00:28:30Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's, it's my wound. I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Daniel!
00:28:43Sweet and caring. So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted. He only had to break her
00:28:49heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:59Fuck it. I'm gonna get my shit and go.
00:29:01Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me. You once liked my short film. I have a strip
00:29:08I've been sitting on, and...
00:29:17It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:22Where have you been? I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:29Huh?
00:29:34What? I've been busy. Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:37Seriously? Why does it always have to come back to him? I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:44Yeah. That's what you want to call it? I... I just... I'm sorry. I... bringing Preston
00:29:55into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:59It is what it is.
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works. You even just hint at a relationship, and it
00:30:09stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:11And I think you should go for it. I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:16But... I just... I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously. I... I care about you.
00:30:31I love it.
00:30:33I've known you for 14 years. I know when you're angry.
00:30:36Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:38I pay attention?
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:47That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:49A headline.
00:30:50A performance.
00:30:53Sabrina.
00:30:57Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:58You know what?
00:30:59I hate fighting. So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:04I was thinking... we could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah. The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:20The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:23I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:49I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:54What?
00:32:10I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:32:18I've had a lot of experience making it for you. I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:21That's not what I meant.
00:32:24I like it when you make it.
00:32:27I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:36I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:40It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:45Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:50No, Daniel.
00:32:52No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:03Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what? It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:11I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:14And look what I get for it.
00:33:16You know what?
00:33:18Forget it. I have a premiere.
00:33:20We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:21What?

00:43:33You can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:37No.
00:43:42All this time, he's gonna leave me.
00:43:48Who's going to leave me?
00:44:04It can't be.
00:44:08That's not it.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:12He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:47I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go!
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? He's not paying attention.
00:45:01Mom!
00:45:04Mom!
00:45:05Daniel!
00:45:06He just left us!
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:43I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad...
00:45:49Your dad...
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:57Why would you say that?
00:46:00He was so embarrassing. Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:03Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad.
00:46:21Mr. Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:27Mr. Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Mr. Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:49Mr. No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Mr. Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Mr. Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Mr. Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09Mr. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12Mr. What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16Mr. It's despicable.
00:47:17Mr. I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20Mr. I'll cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:47:31Mr. Honey, it's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:40Mr. What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:55Mr. But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:58Mr. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:48:00Mr. Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contracted it.
00:48:10Mr. Contract? What contract?
00:48:13Mr. What are you talking about?
00:48:18Mr. Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24Mr. When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Mr. Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Mom.
00:48:36Mr. Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45Mr. I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:55Mr. When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:49:00Mr. She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her.
00:49:06Mr. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:49:09Mr. She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:49:14Mr. So that she's never alone again.
00:49:21Mr. It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26Mr. How could you do this to me?
00:49:28Mr. I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30Mr. You wanted to control me.
00:49:32Mr. All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:35Mr. Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:41Mr. You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Mr. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:49:49Mr. Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:49:55Mr. You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:50:01Mr. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:03Mr. No, he can't be gone. He can't.
00:50:06Mr. Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:50:10Mr. He can't be. He can't be gone again.
00:50:13Mr. I can't be...
00:50:19Mr. Kylo on the cover.
00:50:23Mr. I'm live at the highly anticipated, premiere of How The Tame of Silver Fox.
00:50:26Mr. That's already generated the considerable but experience, the user isfounder and director.
00:50:30I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How the Tame of Silver Fox
00:50:38that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:56Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Yeah, my career has been a long time in the making
00:51:12and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:21And I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director,
00:51:29will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:48Daniel?
00:51:49Daniel?
00:51:49Daniel?
00:51:51Daniel?
00:51:51Daniel?
00:51:52Daniel?
00:51:53Daniel?
00:51:55He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:52:03so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius
00:52:09and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh, my God.
00:52:30Thanks for saving me.
00:52:32She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:34Jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:42Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me, I know.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I'm good, so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09So, let's just go ahead.
00:53:10So, let's just go ahead.
00:53:10So, let's just go ahead.
00:53:23I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:53:33and he's cheating on me
00:53:35with a BAFTA-winning bitch.
00:53:38He can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:45How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract
00:53:54in the first place, hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything,
00:54:01being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career,
00:54:12a mansion in the hills,
00:54:14an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19You're a dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:41Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks
00:54:42and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks
00:54:50Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually
00:55:08heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No!
00:55:20I yelled at you because
00:55:21you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that,
00:55:24I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting
00:55:27like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad
00:55:35at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job
00:55:41in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off
00:55:45from me
00:55:45and ordering my staff around
00:55:47like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything
00:55:56I've done to help you
00:55:57with your brand
00:55:57and keeping it from collapsing
00:55:59in the last year?
00:56:00Mom, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple,
00:56:03you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact
00:56:08that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me
00:56:16all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested,
00:56:19but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things
00:56:26like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:59I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security,
00:57:13all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:38Every flaw.
00:57:39Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste, do something.
00:58:07Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:09Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:21God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:35But if you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me, Miss Julie.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:05You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:08All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:16You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:21not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:27It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:29If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:43You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50I'll just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:57You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:21Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:29Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:34Oh...
01:00:34She knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:40You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's less, Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:56I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:08Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called...
01:01:22You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:26He's back.
01:01:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:33I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:41If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:01You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:16This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:45Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:04And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:06But if she wants a scandal,
01:03:07she'll get one.
01:03:08It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the U.K.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:24You're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:03:30but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it,
01:03:37but it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:46Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over People magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh, my God, it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:16Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:30Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:33I just came to ask Daniel
01:04:35if he'd let you audition,
01:04:36but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter
01:04:42to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi
01:04:46too to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:04:48and ruin him.
01:04:50My God, you're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving,
01:04:57I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:10You've been controlling my life
01:05:13ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:17That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23Fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money
01:05:41and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls more talented
01:05:52than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:07We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance
01:06:11to be in Jackson's life
01:06:13or in mine,
01:06:15you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:23I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:06:37all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:41manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought
01:06:45Preston into our home
01:06:47and poisoned our son
01:06:49towards you.
01:06:50Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches
01:07:03when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you
01:07:06when you had nightmares
01:07:07and coddled you
01:07:08when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him
01:07:13like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson,
01:07:17he gave us ten years
01:07:19of his life
01:07:19and he abused it.
01:07:21And now there is
01:07:22nothing we can do
01:07:24to take that back.
01:07:26I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:46For everything.
01:07:46I'm sorry.
01:07:49I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:01No.
01:08:03I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces
01:08:10and then just expected you
01:08:12to come running back.
01:08:13people can change
01:08:16but that doesn't change the past.
01:08:24And the Oscar goes to
01:08:25Daniel Johnson
01:08:26for his original screenplay,
01:08:28Loving Her.
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!

01:08:41I'll admit
01:08:42I got a little sidelined
01:08:43but I think
01:08:45I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay.
01:08:48I'll tell you this.
01:08:51I don't think
01:08:51you can truly
01:08:52love someone else

01:09:21for this part.

01:10:16Amazing, as always.
01:10:17You flew in all the way
01:10:20from London for this?

01:10:23I wasn't gonna miss a shot
01:10:24to your audition

01:10:31but way more traffic.

01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's no English
01:10:38countryside.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:43You definitely belong here.
01:10:45I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:54American director.
01:10:56I kept waiting for us
01:10:57to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us
01:11:01to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:05It just cost me
01:11:07and we'll call it even.
01:11:08You were amazing,
01:11:10as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite
01:11:15what I'm looking for.
01:11:18I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways.
01:11:22Got a few more auditions
01:11:23while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:27Give me a coffee
01:11:40and, you know what,
01:11:41go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous
01:11:45with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.

01:12:00That was quick.
01:12:01What are you doing here?
