00:03:40Here you come.
00:03:41I've never been to Montreal.
00:03:42Actually.
00:03:43I've been in Vancouver for a bit.
00:03:44And just trying to catch up with some friends.
00:03:46I went to school in Harvard and I accrued all this debt there.
00:03:47But what I really want to do is just...
00:03:52So I've never been to Montreal, actually.
00:04:00I've been in Vancouver for a bit and just trying to catch up with some friends.
00:04:07I went to school in Harvard and I accrued all this debt there.
00:04:15But what I really want to do is just play on a beach in Hawaii.
00:04:19Oh, you can have the bed ready for me.
00:04:23Yeah, I scented the sheets with the perfume.
00:04:29And I also put some clothes in the closet.
00:04:32They're from my shop, if you want to try.
00:04:36They're all high-end clothes.
00:04:39I'm not sure if Vancouver business women wear Montreal designers, but...
00:04:44You know, I do have some Vancouver designers as well.
00:04:51You have really good fashion sense.
00:04:53What did you say that you studied?
00:04:56Law.
00:04:58Law?
00:04:59You're spoiling me.
00:05:00Lawyer, right.
00:05:02I intend to.
00:05:03I want to be a good host.
00:05:05Well, you don't need to do that.
00:05:08You've been so kind and generous and...
00:05:11Um...
00:05:13What?
00:05:18That's for you.
00:05:29Where did you get this?
00:05:30This is...
00:05:31This looks very expensive.
00:05:33Doesn't matter where I got it.
00:05:35I can't take this.
00:05:37This is real pearls.
00:05:39Is it a family heirloom?
00:05:41Yeah, it was my mother's.
00:05:45Well, you said rent is $750.
00:05:48I just don't have that money on me right now.
00:05:52That's probably worth even more.
00:05:56You want to try it on?
00:05:57Yeah.
00:05:58Here, let me help.
00:06:02Didn't you say you have a business meeting tomorrow?
00:06:06Mm-hmm.
00:06:08You get all confident when you wear jewellery.
00:06:11That's what I've noticed about you.
00:06:13Wow.
00:06:16Wow.
00:06:17Mm-hmm.
00:06:18Over...
00:06:19$60,000.
00:06:24Sorry.
00:06:27Hello?
00:06:30Sweetheart.
00:06:31Psst.
00:06:32I don't know.
00:06:33We're at a motel or something?
00:06:35Oh, of course I need you.
00:06:37Just...
00:06:40Please.
00:06:43Don't worry about me, okay?
00:06:50Yes, I got your roses.
00:06:54Yes, you sent them to the right address.
00:06:58All right.
00:06:59Bye.
00:07:07Keith is intelligent.
00:07:10He's...
00:07:11He's handsome.
00:07:12Oh, he's...
00:07:13He's generous.
00:07:14He's kind.
00:07:15He's passionate.
00:07:16You don't even enjoy sex with him, Bella.
00:07:18I do.
00:07:19I do.
00:07:20All of the girls want him, and I get to have him.
00:07:24And what happens if we're honest?
00:07:38No.
00:07:39No.
00:07:40No.
00:07:41No.
00:07:42No, I can't.
00:07:45Bella, we have the luxury of being honest with this.
00:07:50Is it because you've never been with another woman?
00:08:06Because I haven't either.
00:08:08Isn't it so much more honest?
00:08:10Also, I've got to have to get an hour acá and say,
00:08:14Oh my goodness.
00:08:15This is so much more honest.
00:08:17Yeah.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:22What does this do?
00:08:24Yeah.
00:08:25Yeah.
00:08:26Turkey.
00:08:26Oh my god, the sun's coming up.
00:08:51Look how beautiful it is.
00:08:53Looks like sherbet ice cream.
00:08:56I know.
00:08:57I didn't even bring my phone out.
00:08:58We were supposed to go for one drink.
00:08:59Lewis?
00:09:00How are you, my love?
00:09:01Oh, I'm surviving.
00:09:02How are you, my jealous fool?
00:09:19Now I have a wonderful friend, Ivanka.
00:09:22We're about to get married in Montreal.
00:09:24Where's your ring?
00:09:25I put it away.
00:09:26It was itching.
00:09:27Well, should we get you a new one?
00:09:28No.
00:09:29No.
00:09:30Hello there.
00:09:31Hi.
00:09:32Aren't you cute?
00:09:33I wasn't expecting you.
00:09:34I heard he just finished medical school.
00:09:35Yes.
00:09:36No, I know.
00:09:37I wasn't expecting me.
00:09:38How did you find me?

00:10:04She met me at a cafe and she offered to pay for my rent.
00:10:05I mean, I will pay.
00:10:06I have paid.
00:10:07You're nervous too.
00:10:08I get it.
00:10:09It's cool.
00:10:10Do you have enough money?
00:10:11You know mom is coming.
00:10:12I know.
00:10:13I know mom is coming.
00:10:14You keep telling me that.
00:10:15You can't just up and leave the city and expect nothing from us.
00:10:18I opened up a clothing shop here.
00:10:20Excuse me?
00:10:21Seriously?
00:10:22Yes.
00:10:23Bella, you opened up a clothing store.

00:15:18Would you believe if I told you I used to be fat?
00:15:22I just, I look at you two and I think,
00:15:25what did you two do to me?
00:15:28And the only answer is nothing.
00:15:33I'm not the only one who knows.
00:15:34Louis knows.
00:15:35Yeah, he does.
00:15:37And he just doesn't know what to do about it.
00:15:39I don't know.
00:15:40I don't know.
00:15:41I see you throw your food away.
00:15:45And I see you, like, looking in the mirror at yourself all the time.
00:15:50Comparing yourself to me.
00:15:55Ever since you got my Cadillac, I just feel your eyes on me all the time, non-stop.
00:16:05I'm glad you noticed.
00:16:07I do like the way I look.
00:16:09But I don't think I look the part for the job.
00:16:15And it makes me feel...
00:16:21I just don't feel confident.
00:16:25It's funny how we both think.
00:16:27I've been bulimic for 11 years.
00:16:4211.
00:16:4711 years.
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:48I don't know.
00:17:09I don't know.
00:17:39You have to wake up.
00:18:09Sometimes a man can be so in love
00:18:32that he doesn't even realize the woman is not.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:38How's it going?
00:18:42Okay.
00:18:43Anything else?
00:18:44Five dollars and whenever you're ready.
00:19:12Hey.
00:19:19You alright?
00:19:22Let me know if you need anything.
00:19:29Let me know if you need anything.
00:19:36Your mom looks good.
00:19:43I picked her up from the airport.
00:19:44I took her to a hotel just like you asked.
00:19:50Lewis, I don't know what to say.
00:19:57I don't know what to say.
00:20:04You don't know what to say.
00:20:06I can help you with that one.
00:20:09You don't know what to say.
00:20:10I can help you with that one.
00:20:15Hi Lewis.
00:20:16I'm sorry.
00:20:17I was...
00:20:18I'm a fucking bitch.
00:20:19What?
00:20:20Uh...

00:20:2220 minutes.
00:20:23Yeah.
00:20:24Okay.
00:20:25Thanks.
00:20:26Do I have to?
00:20:27Bella, you threw our wedding ring down on the floor and you don't know what to say?
00:20:32I mean nothing makes sense to me anymore.
00:20:33No.
00:20:34No, you don't fucking say that shit to me, Bella.
00:20:37Hey, you don't get to say that shit to me, okay?
00:20:40You don't even fucking know each other.
00:20:42Well, I learned that that doesn't matter.
00:20:44That doesn't matter?
00:20:45And our life in Montreal, that was...
00:20:47What was that?
00:20:48Were you...
00:20:49Were you not happy?
00:20:50Yes, I was happy.
00:20:52I was happy.
00:20:55You've been with this fucking whore the whole time?
00:21:02Hmm?
00:21:03Lewis, please.
00:21:04You don't even know what to say?
00:21:06Call the police, Tina.
00:21:08Bella, what color are my eyes?
00:21:10Of course I'm...
00:21:13What color are your fiance's eyes?
00:21:16They're blue.
00:21:18They're blue.
00:21:19Oh!
00:21:20Drop the teacup and call the police.
00:21:24You've never done that before.
00:21:34I already called the police.
00:21:36No!
00:21:45What about our marriage, huh?
00:21:48What does this mean?
00:21:49No!
00:21:50I'm not...
00:21:51I'm not doing anything!
00:21:53I'm not doing anything!
00:21:54I'm not doing anything here!
00:21:55It's not me!
00:21:56I don't know what to say, Lewis!
00:21:57Because you can't just buy my attention all the time!
00:21:58You can't!
00:21:59I'm worth more than that!
00:22:01I'm worth more than that!
00:22:02Fuck!
00:22:03Fuck!
00:22:04Fuck!
00:22:05When did you become such a fucking bitch?
00:22:06Shut up!
00:22:07Shut up, Lewis!
00:22:08What are you thinking?
00:22:09Moving in with that slut!
00:22:10What?
00:22:11Have you been watching us?
00:22:12Do you follow me?
00:22:13Are you looking in the windows?
00:22:14You followed me from Montreal?
00:22:15I know.
00:22:16I need you.
00:22:17I need you.
00:22:18Fuck you.
00:22:19Fuck you.
00:22:20When did you become such a fucking bitch?
00:22:25Shut up. Shut up, Louis.
00:22:27You're thinking of moving in with that slut.
00:22:32What? Have you been watching us?
00:22:34Did you follow me?
00:22:35Are you looking in the windows?
00:22:36You followed me from Montreal.
00:22:40I know.
00:22:42I need you.
00:22:43Fuck you.
00:22:50I need you.
00:23:20Why did he come to Vancouver?
00:23:36You never really told me.
00:23:43Yeah, I did.
00:23:45To run away.
00:23:46I don't know.
00:23:51So, I am providing legal counsel to this high-end fashion designer.
00:23:59Oh, that's great.
00:24:00And I got a 25-cent raise at the coffee shop.
00:24:06Ivanka.
00:24:16Ivanka.
00:24:17Honey, this is a very expensive overseas conversation.
00:24:20Who do you think you are walking in like a mangled puppy?
00:24:24Lift your hands behind your head and turn around in full circle.
00:24:31No, I'm not sure.
00:24:46You probably thought that was abuse I made you do, am I right?
00:24:49Your politeness will be the death of you.
00:24:51Sit down.
00:24:52No one turns their back to Miss Locke.
00:24:55Yes, I...
00:24:56I'm sorry, I'll call you right back.
00:24:58You work for free.
00:25:01How would I pay for my rent?
00:25:06Do you have educational experience?
00:25:09Yes, I actually do.
00:25:11I have eight years of education.
00:25:18She doesn't really like me very much, but it doesn't matter, right?
00:25:21Hopefully, just in the beginning.
00:25:25But anyway, I just really wanted to thank you because...
00:25:29I never thought another girl could provide me with much confidence.
00:25:33I'll find a better job, Bella.
00:25:38I'll find a better job, Bella.
00:25:40I never thought another girl could provide me with much confidence.

00:34:59in this city, so I can't, I can't, I can't report it.
00:35:03There's no way I can report it.
00:35:06What does he know about the law?
00:35:09I'm going to kill him.
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:17Just, it happened.
00:35:29Nothing like that's ever happened to me before.
00:35:36I still have such a crush on him.
00:35:38It shouldn't happen to you if you're my friend.
00:35:59Hi, I'm criminal defense lawyer, Brooke Taylor.
00:36:09Thank you for coming today.
00:36:21It took so long to try to get you here.
00:36:23Really long.
00:36:32Would you like some bob-bots?
00:36:39Never mind.
00:36:41So, um, Bella said you've been wanting to see me for a while.
00:36:45I'm sorry I haven't been so busy, so keen on your offer.
00:36:48I've been busy.
00:36:51Kind of busy.
00:36:53You mean applying to other jobs?
00:36:56You've been paint off the wall and burning down feminist propaganda.
00:37:05Just kidding.
00:37:07You've been paint off the wall?
00:37:10I'm a friend of Bella's.
00:37:12She reminds me of my five-year-old daughter.
00:37:14She's such a smart girl.
00:37:19Anyway.
00:37:20Would you like to be my legal assistant?
00:37:24You would get to learn the conduct around the office.
00:37:27Oh, you mean be your poppy?
00:37:30Hardly.
00:37:31If.
00:37:32You are a beautiful woman, living in the 21st century.
00:37:36Smart and up here.
00:37:38What's wrong with women helping one another?
00:37:40I mean, don't you trust Bella?
00:37:41My relationship with Bella is kept private.
00:37:45And it should never be talked about in any corporate setting or law firm, any office or anything like that.
00:37:51No one should know about our relationship.
00:37:54It's hard to trust people.
00:37:58Excuse my intrusion, Eve.
00:38:01You act as if I'm here to adopt you like a second child.
00:38:06I know the men in this community over the years.
00:38:10It's a small community.
00:38:12And I know what Mr. Lawrence did to you.
00:38:15How do you know?
00:38:17Bella.
00:38:19Bella?
00:38:23You going to let that go?
00:38:24Let me help you.
00:38:31And we can formally sue him.
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:35Well, maybe you should set your sympathies aside and picture him hurting other women.
00:38:39When are you going to stand up for the women in your life?
00:38:41How does Bella feel about this?
00:39:02Look, if I'm your friend, well, I heard you have the hope to start your own law firm.
00:39:11My mom's living in a hotel.
00:39:35She's looking for a one-bedroom apartment.
00:39:37You look so faint.
00:39:55Why do you look so unhappy?
00:40:02Well, are you going to invite me in or would you like to come out?
00:40:04It's just such a nice day outside.
00:40:07I'll take my jacket, daughter.
00:40:08Yes, Mama.
00:40:10Oh, and there's some suitcases outside.
00:40:15Oh.
00:40:15Well, you've, uh, made quite a name for yourself, doll.
00:40:41What do you mean?
00:40:45I mean, look what you've done with the place.
00:40:48Close the door.
00:40:49It's somewhat chilly.
00:40:57Little girl wearing nothing but a woman's blouse.
00:41:00Bella!
00:41:01Do you know what it's like to lose the trust of your family?
00:41:09Everything looks and smells so clean.
00:41:13You were always such a messy little girl.
00:41:16Stuff lying around the house everywhere.
00:41:18Your bedroom, the kitchen.
00:41:20My bedroom.
00:41:22The garden.
00:41:22I can even remember you as a young girl trying on my clothes.
00:41:29Can you imagine that?
00:41:31A little girl wearing nothing but a woman's blouse?
00:41:35Do you remember?
00:41:36Mama.
00:41:37Please.
00:41:40Bella.
00:41:42My sweet, sweet Bella.
00:41:44What a sad story.
00:41:46Didn't you ever wonder why neither Lewis or I called the police after you went missing?
00:41:52I mean, we understood that you needed breathing space.
00:41:55But a man proposes to you.
00:41:58Please take a seat.
00:41:59Oh, what was that?
00:42:00Please have a seat.
00:42:01And you run off with the first skinny brunette who sweeps you off your feet with a kiss.
00:42:06You do know I have every right to invite myself in.
00:42:09Oh, dear.
00:42:16Looks like we have another woman in the picture.
00:42:19Well, hello, hello.
00:42:21Hi, I'm Miriam.
00:42:23Hi.
00:42:24You know, you have such beautiful eyes.
00:42:28I can tell from here.
00:42:31They're just so shiny and sparkly.
00:42:35Like chocolate fondue.
00:42:37Do you like chocolate fondue?
00:42:45I'm going to make us some.
00:42:49Where's the kitchen?
00:42:51You know we have a joint checking account.
00:42:53You really, really needn't.
00:42:54I never touched a single penny in that joint account.
00:42:59We haven't had fondue in a long time.
00:43:02Do you think I liked living in that sack of a home back in Montreal?
00:43:06Well, a retired waitress with hardly any safe things.
00:43:23Oh, my gosh.
00:43:24She is a cutie.
00:43:26Such a sweet face.
00:43:28You sure picked the cutest girlfriends, Bella.
00:43:32Bella, your dad and I, when we were dating, he loved it when I wore this red nail polish.
00:43:37He said it brought out the sparkle in my eyes.
00:43:39Mom, please don't mention my father in front of my love, Yves.
00:43:43In front of your love, Yves.
00:43:48Okay, you know what?
00:43:49I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
00:43:51You know, I got my hair done today.
00:43:54Do you like it?
00:43:56Does it make me look younger?
00:43:58Do you think it makes me look younger?
00:44:00Oh, how would you know we've never met before?
00:44:02I looked older, trust me.
00:44:03But as soon as I saw my Bella's face at the door, my face went backwards.
00:44:13How sweet.
00:44:16You're holding hands.
00:44:17I'm going to make us some tea.
00:44:35Are you going to do that all the time?
00:44:38Do what?
00:44:40Nothing.
00:44:41Cheers.
00:44:47And you?
00:44:56What do you do?
00:44:57I want to be a lawyer.
00:45:01Honey, you are way too emotional and sensitive to be a lawyer.
00:45:05Especially if you live with Bella.
00:45:08She has a gift for making people's knees buckle.
00:45:10This is true.
00:45:11There's so much you can say about Bella.
00:45:14It's overwhelming, actually.
00:45:15Do you make any money off of what you do?
00:45:19I'm actually in debt from years of education.
00:45:22Well, people don't pay attention.
00:45:23I've been going out for job interviews for months now.
00:45:26And I'm actually thinking of maybe going back to school.
00:45:32So you're not a lawyer.
00:45:34The last time I shadowed someone, he kept staring at my butt.
00:45:39And I wasn't even wearing a short skirt.
00:45:44I mean, I was wearing a skirt, but it went down to me.
00:45:47Anyway.
00:45:48She has eight years of education under her belt.
00:45:51Eight.
00:45:51It doesn't seem to matter.
00:45:54I mean, people.
00:45:55What matters is if you can feed their ego.
00:45:59You know, if you can suck up to them.
00:46:00And then I said, what is it worth?
00:46:04Some people are, okay, wearing masks to earn their pennies, but that's not me.
00:46:09So you're unemployed.
00:46:10Then how do the two of you expect me to believe that you can even live here?
00:46:14With these golden teacups, fancy draperies, leather couches, and a pink Cadillac.
00:46:22So much talent in this room and nobody seems to give a shit.
00:46:29How much did you spend, Bella?
00:46:33How much did you spend on that vintage car outside?
00:46:36Oh yeah, I saw it.
00:46:37Don't expect me to believe you own a single thing in here.
00:46:41I didn't think so.
00:46:43Do you have a job?
00:46:46I guess I'm spoiled.
00:46:47Have you, um, been eating, or should I say overeating?
00:46:53Mom, shut up.
00:46:54Exercise then?
00:46:56Sorry.
00:46:56Yes.
00:46:57Yes.
00:46:58I exercise.
00:46:59Every morning.
00:47:01I'm managing a clothing shop on Main Street.
00:47:05I'm trying to.
00:47:09I offer clothes to women of all different sizes.
00:47:12And I, I, I want women to feel confident in their beauty.
00:47:16We, we have our rent cut in half.
00:47:21You've had your rent cut in half.
00:47:23By who?
00:47:25Lucy.
00:47:26A lovely landlady.
00:47:28I need the money to keep the shop on Main Street open.
00:47:31I believe in it.
00:47:32And, and I want you to believe in me too.
00:47:35You need the money to run the shop on Main Street.
00:47:39What if the clothes don't sell?
00:47:42Why can't you live with me, Bella?
00:47:43Why don't you just come back to Montreal with me?
00:47:46I, I can't.
00:47:47What is so unbearable about me?
00:47:50And did you buy this girl off the streets too?
00:47:53What?
00:47:55I don't know how we're going to live together, Eve.
00:47:57You heard me.
00:47:58Three people in the same house.
00:48:03What are you doing with her?
00:48:06I love her.
00:48:07I love her.
00:48:07I love her.
00:49:37Well, you're going to have to say goodbye to it.
00:49:45Because I have to sell it.
00:49:46It's vintage.
00:49:47We can get a lot of money from it.
00:49:48Did we have so many fun memories in that car?
00:49:59Driving around the city and...
00:50:02I mean, you got to know the city through that car.
00:50:07Can we, like, think about it?
00:50:10No, we don't have time to think about it.
00:50:13You can be so cruel sometimes.
00:50:15And I say, don't raise your voice at me.
00:50:34I have to sometimes.
00:50:36Jesus Christ!
00:50:38Like, I don't see you right now.
00:50:40Where have you been these days?
00:50:42Like, you're...
00:50:45Mentally, you're not here.
00:50:46I'm right here.
00:50:51That CEO, I think maybe we should go talk to him.
00:50:55What's his name again?
00:50:56Ralph?
00:50:58Dave.
00:50:59Dave.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:01Dave.
00:51:01Yes.
00:51:02We're going to go meet Dave.
00:51:03Don't raise your voice at me.
00:51:05Why?
00:51:05Why should I not?
00:51:07Why?
00:51:11Why are you so concerned about my health?
00:51:16Because, Eve, you've lost so much weight since the sexual assault.
00:51:21Not weight.
00:51:22Just my soul.
00:51:28I'm going to sell the shop.
00:51:31I'm going to sell the shop.
00:51:33I'm going to sell the Cadillac.
00:51:34I'm going to sell everything to get us out of debt.
00:51:38And yes, I want to talk to David.
00:51:40I want to talk to him in just like a friendly conversation.
00:51:42So, whenever you're ready, you can give me the number.
00:51:47He's still my friend.
00:51:48I was thinking about what he did to you in that office.
00:51:52I was imagining it.
00:51:54But, Ivanka, this is not just a slap in the face.
00:51:57I'm going to get a job.
00:52:06You keep saying that.
00:52:09I am.
00:52:10You're not going to get a job.
00:52:13You're not going to get a job fast enough.
00:52:15Like, look at this city.
00:52:16This city is so cruel to young people like you and me.
00:52:20Just because you're educated doesn't mean you're going to get hired.
00:52:22You live in a fucking bubble.
00:52:26We don't always get the attention that we need.
00:52:29That we want.
00:52:30What are you saying?
00:52:35That I'm not going to get a job?
00:52:37Yes.
00:52:38I am saying that you are not going to get a job.
00:52:41You're not going to get a job fast enough.
00:52:45God, look at us.
00:52:49Look at us.
00:52:51It's been like, what, six or seven months since we met and we're going to get evicted?
00:52:55If, if we're going to get evicted, if, if, if we're going to get evicted, if, if, they always want more money.
00:53:08I'm going to miss the part.
00:53:11And our landlady, Lucy, is not exactly happy right now.
00:53:15We have so many people.
00:53:18We don't have enough for next month.
00:53:23We don't.
00:53:24If, if, if, I'm sorry.
00:53:29I'm sorry that I couldn't be a better host and that I couldn't be a better friend.
00:53:34Okay.
00:53:35Let's make this.
00:53:36Here, let me help you make this ad.
00:53:42That's the least I can do for you.
00:53:46So you, you want to sell it quick, right?
00:53:50Yeah.
00:53:50So it's got to be a cheaper price.
00:53:54What do you have in mind?
00:53:56Five, ten, uh, fifteen thousand.
00:54:00Okay.
00:54:03Bella.
00:54:07Come here.
00:54:07Um, I've never been able to do this with anyone before and, and we're going to make it.
00:54:23We're going to have a fresh start.
00:54:25We're going to make it.
00:54:27We're going to make it.
00:54:28We're going to make it.
00:54:32Okay.
00:54:33We're going to make it.
00:54:34Now.
00:54:35I want to have a baby with you.
00:54:36I, I go sell your shop.
00:54:38I'm going to take care of the ad and I will, yeah, you know, I'll, I'll, I'll get it.
00:54:42Bella.
00:54:43Come here.
00:54:44Um, I've never been able to do this with anyone before and, and we're going to make it.
00:54:59We're going to have a fresh start.
00:55:00We're going to have a fresh start.
00:55:01We're going to make it.
00:55:02We're going to make it.
00:55:03We're going to make it.
00:55:04Okay, we're going to make it.
00:55:06Now.
00:55:07I want to have a baby with you.
00:55:08We're gonna make it.
00:55:10Just start.
00:55:12And we're gonna make it.
00:55:14I'm okay, we're gonna make it.
00:55:16I wanna have a baby with you.
00:55:18I go sell your shop.
00:55:20I'm going to take care of the ad.
00:55:24And I will...
00:55:26Yeah, you know, I'll get all the phone calls
00:55:28and the numbers.
00:55:30I'm a really good negotiator.
00:55:32So, um...
00:55:34Yeah.
00:55:36So...
00:55:38We'll have one month left in Vancouver
00:55:40and I'll close the shop properly.
00:55:44There's a buyer actually.
00:55:46So if he buys it
00:55:48I'll use some of that money
00:55:50to go towards the shop deck.
00:55:54I had so much hope for that shop.
00:56:06I'll be back.
00:56:24Bella?
00:56:26Can you come to the kitchen for a second?
00:56:28Yeah?
00:56:29Yeah.
00:56:30Come.
00:56:31Come.
00:56:32Come to the kitchen.
00:56:33Please sit down.
00:56:35So I went to the doctor.
00:56:38And the doctor said that I'm anorexic.
00:56:41That's serious.
00:56:48Really?
00:56:49Don't be silly.
00:56:51No.
00:56:53No, I mean, what is anorexia?
00:56:56That's some problem that models have.
00:56:59I mean, it's probably not that big of a deal, right?
00:57:04Well, I hope not.
00:57:06Come here.
00:57:09Why is it that we haven't had sex lately?
00:57:16When you're around me, I do feel this sense of warmth,
00:57:20but it reminds me that I'm still loved.
00:57:23I want you to answer me honestly.
00:57:32Do you like the way you look?
00:57:42What did the doctor say exactly?
00:57:45I mean, what if this gets serious?
00:57:48I don't care.
00:57:52I don't care.
00:57:53I don't care about myself anymore.
00:57:58Or if I die.
00:58:00I can't bear the thought of losing you.
00:58:13I'm jobless.
00:58:14I'm almost bankrupt.
00:58:17And I am still standing.
00:58:19I don't care about myself.
00:58:23Stand up for yourself.
00:58:26OK.
00:58:28You know what?
00:58:29There's no more question.
00:58:33You're going.
00:58:35You're going to go as soon as you can.
00:58:37I'm going to help you pack, OK?
00:58:39pack, okay? We're gonna halt Montreal. Just for a bit. I'm gonna wait for you
00:58:46however long that takes for you to heal. Two, three months and get a temporary job.
00:58:54I can come visit you every day.
00:58:58That's very sweet, Bella. Well, aren't you gonna help me pack? You've never lost
00:59:06anyone, I have. That's your problem. You don't get it.
00:59:20Arianna? Oh my. Can I come in here? Oh, um, of course. How are you? Okay, I'm glad you asked.
00:59:30I'm, um, I'm perfect. Just perfect. Perfect. And stunning like you. I, uh, I just feel like a crazy woman.
00:59:42I guess I was actually standing in front of your door for like five minutes.
00:59:46My heart was beating so fast before I could get the courage to, to knock on the door.
00:59:50Oh, I just, I thought it was a squeaky little mouse out there.
00:59:54I'm, um, I'm a little concerned about my relationship with Bella. And, uh, can I ask you
01:00:03for a favor? Can I please have a hug?
01:00:06You have to understand, Bella was always scared to be intimate with a man. When she gets involved
01:00:26in a secret love affair. Marielle. And she is engaged to a man.
01:00:33Uh, Bella and I, well, we're, we're thinking of having a baby.
01:00:43What? Yeah. You're serious? Yeah.
01:00:50Oh. Okay. Can I give you a hug? I feel really alone at home.
01:00:58Um, Bella, she keeps arguing with me about going to the hospital.
01:01:07Why? Why do I have to go to the hospital?
01:01:13Let's always talk about the hospital.
01:01:16I mean, come on, you, you can take care of yourself.
01:01:19You know, when I was diagnosed in the hospital, the doctors and nurses around me would weep.
01:01:25People I don't even know telling me to eat.
01:01:30How humiliating.
01:01:32You know what the doctor told me?
01:01:34He actually said your heart can stop beating at any moment, even after you start eating.
01:01:48Now, how do I say this to Bella?
01:01:52I mean, it's not like we have any money or anything.
01:01:56I mean, going to the hospital is free.
01:01:57We have so many other issues we need to look at right now.
01:02:02Do you need money?
01:02:03No.
01:02:03Please, because once I move back to Montreal, I won't be paying for two spaces.
01:02:08Stop talking about money. We have money.
01:02:15It's like I took Bella's confidence away growing up.
01:02:21I mean, don't get me wrong, but is it worse being so physically close to Bella?
01:02:26Bella, when all I was trying to do is silence my guilt.
01:02:33But it still follows me.
01:02:36And you know that girl?
01:02:38She thinks she's above everyone.
01:02:41Well, sometimes I think I'm above everyone, too.
01:02:44Yeah.
01:02:45When I walk out on the street and everyone's looking at me.
01:02:49Worse.
01:02:50That's not why I came.
01:02:54I need you to tell me the truth.
01:02:57I need you to honestly tell me.
01:03:03Am I ugly?
01:03:05You know, people, they haven't been hiring me.
01:03:08They tell you all these nice things.
01:03:10You know, you're beautiful.
01:03:13You're stunning.
01:03:14But I don't, I don't really think they mean it.
01:03:20I can't trust myself right now.
01:03:22I'm okay, okay.
01:03:25It's just so unlike Bella to seek medical attention.
01:03:28She hasn't done so in years.
01:03:35Am I supposed to be proud?
01:03:40I didn't even know the two of you had the courage to approach a doctor.
01:03:44Yes, the mother can't know all of her daughter's secrets.
01:03:46That's, you know, if you're ugly, then what am I?
01:03:56You are the, you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
01:04:05You know, when I was young, I wanted to be a tall fashion model.
01:04:11You're doing the same thing that Bella does.
01:04:21Why?
01:04:23Just tell me why.
01:04:25Why are you avoiding every part of my body except for my eyes?
01:04:31I need people to understand.
01:04:34This is not a girl's fault.
01:04:37I did not choose to be like this.
01:04:43I admire you.
01:04:45And now everyone is looking at me like, like I'm, like I'm sick or something.
01:04:52You taught me to let go of my jealousies.
01:04:58And learned to love the women in my life.
01:05:01I remember kissing Bella on the cheek.
01:05:07When she was young, about five years old.
01:05:16Every time I would kiss her on the cheek, she would tell me a new love story.
01:05:27There was so much passion and compassion at her at such a young age.
01:05:31There was so much fire and sparkle in those eyes.
01:05:38She, um, she doesn't seem to remember those stories these days.
01:05:46I guess the memories seem to fade.
01:05:50But I, the two of you, are going to make it.
01:05:52If I could only just instill some more courage in you.
01:05:56Bella, Bella, Bella.
01:06:15Why were you so excited?
01:06:16I got here as fast as I could.
01:06:18I have extraordinary news.
01:06:19It was so extraordinary that I had to leave work early.
01:06:23I mean, I had to take transit.
01:06:24Where's the car?
01:06:25Sit down.
01:06:26Sit down.
01:06:26Sit down.
01:06:27Sit down.
01:06:28Sit.
01:06:30Close your eyes.
01:06:36Open.
01:06:36What?
01:06:46Bella, we sold the car.
01:06:48What?
01:06:48You sold the car.
01:06:50What?
01:06:51Yes.
01:06:52Oh my God.
01:06:53What?
01:06:53This is amazing.
01:06:54What did he say?
01:06:55What did he say?
01:06:56Did he like it?
01:06:56Of course he liked it.
01:06:57He liked it.
01:06:58He loved it.
01:06:59Oh my God.
01:07:00So, so $5,000?
01:07:02$15,000.
01:07:04You're what?
01:07:05No, you're lying.
01:07:07Bullshit.
01:07:07You lie.
01:07:08You're lying.
01:07:08I don't like you.
01:07:11Bella, $15,000.
01:07:15He loved it.
01:07:16He was so nice and so generous.
01:07:21And, you know, he just loved it.
01:07:24So, you know, I could tell him, like, if you really like it, you've got to fork out a little bit more.
01:07:28Right?
01:07:29And a little bit more.
01:07:31Girl, okay, you did good work.
01:07:36No way the car is sold.
01:07:39Wait, girl.
01:07:39Are you proud?
01:07:45No way the car is sold.
01:07:45No way the car is sold.
01:07:46Can we just...
01:07:48Oh!
01:07:49I want to tell you something.
01:08:19I had the most wonderful dream last night.
01:08:28Do you want to hear it?
01:08:33I dreamt that we were dancing in all those Vancouver pubs, not giving a shit what anybody
01:08:41thought about anything.
01:08:44Do you remember how we used to go to all the pubs in the city in a single night?
01:09:01All the guys thought we were flirting.
01:09:08Yeah, you do.
01:09:10The thing is, we weren't flirting with them.
01:09:14We were flirting with each other.
01:09:19Bella, we have the luxury of being honest.
01:09:25I want to do that again.
01:09:29What happens if we're honest and open?
01:09:32No.
01:09:33No.
01:09:34No, I can't.
01:09:39In one single night, that is a lot of pubs.
01:09:46Is it because you've never been with another woman?
01:09:49Because I haven't either.
01:09:53We used to dance on the sidewalk and lick our lollipops and pop our bubblegum.
01:10:16All the men used to whistle and sing.
01:10:23I don't want to say, we should have a threesome.
01:10:29Hey, baby.
01:10:31Men are crazy.
01:10:43Isn't that alluring?
01:10:48Ev, stop teasing.
01:11:01I don't want to stop teasing.
01:11:22What's the name the man?
01:11:23I don't want to stop teasing.
01:11:25How did you call it?
01:11:28I don't want to stop eating it.
01:11:37I don't want to stop being really happy.
01:11:39I don't want to stop this.
01:11:41I don't want to stop chasing.
01:11:43I don't want to stop buying it.
01:11:45It'll be fun.
01:11:46To be honest with you, I don't want to stop seeing what you're looking for.
