Short filmTranscript
00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you...
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:47I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:06Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know.
00:03:22Ew, what is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them.
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:51I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:06I want a divorce.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:19Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Okay.
00:04:24I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously.
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:59Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah!
00:05:15Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:33The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:59I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:21I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's a wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:38What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:45Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:47Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:04All right, cut.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:18Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31Tell her to the sexiest man that broke my wife's heart and fell for anything from it.
00:07:45Oh, she's fascinating.
00:07:45Oh.
00:07:47She's going to be so sehrå¿«.
00:07:47Ooh.
00:07:47Ha, ha, ha.
00:07:48What?
00:07:49He destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:19Sabrina, don't!
00:08:22Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:31Just give me your hand.
00:08:44No!
00:08:46Daniel!
00:08:48I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:59I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:04I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:06I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:11Good to see you.
00:09:12Oh, my gosh.
00:09:13How long has it been?
00:09:14Oh, too long.
00:09:15What's you?
00:09:16Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:17Of course, babe.
00:09:18Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:19Are you kidding?
00:09:20Oh, Daniel.
00:09:21Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:22Oh, there he is.
00:09:23Oh, there he is.
00:09:24The assistant.
00:09:25I'll tell you what.
00:09:26There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:29How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:32Stop.
00:09:33I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:39Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:42Daniel.
00:09:43Oh.
00:09:44Don't embarrass me.
00:09:45No, it's fine.
00:09:46I'm sorry.
00:09:47Whoa, you played Brett Stale?
00:09:48I'm sorry.
00:09:49I'm sorry.
00:09:50I'm sorry.
00:09:51I'm sorry.
00:09:52I'm sorry.
00:09:53I'm sorry.
00:09:54I'm sorry.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:09:56I'm sorry.
00:09:57I'm sorry.
00:09:58I'm sorry.
00:09:59I'm sorry.
00:10:00I'm sorry.
00:10:01You played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough.
00:10:05He's Brett Stale tough.
00:10:07You think, kiddo?
00:10:08My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:10He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:15What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:31Some people never change.
00:10:37But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:42again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:48Oh, careful.
00:10:49You all right?
00:10:50I'm still starving.
00:10:51Make me some food.
00:10:52Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:10:53Stew?
00:10:54Ew.
00:10:55What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:10:56I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:10:59If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets!
00:11:02I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:03Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:04What?
00:11:05Oh, babe.
00:11:06For real?
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:08My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:09Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:10I'm rich.
00:11:11Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:12I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:16See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:17You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:18You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:19They were so real.
00:11:20I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:21Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22What?
00:11:23Oh, babe.
00:11:24For real?
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:26My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:29Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30I'm rich.
00:11:33Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:36I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:42You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:46They were so dull.
00:11:47Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:11:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:54So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My treat.
00:12:00Here we go.
00:12:01What?
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:06I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Oh.
00:12:09Mm-hmm.
00:12:10Okay.
00:12:11Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:16Anyways.
00:12:17Come on, Ben.
00:12:18Let's go.
00:12:19Looks great.
00:12:20Gotcha.
00:12:21There we go.
00:12:22Oh.
00:12:23There's Paps.
00:12:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:27Last time.
00:12:28I promise.
00:12:31You're right.
00:12:32It is the last time.
00:12:35Hey, guys.
00:12:37Hey.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:52It's over.
00:12:53Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:57I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:01After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:22Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:24She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:27Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:30I could scream.
00:13:31I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood.
00:13:34I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:37OMG.
00:13:38I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote.
00:13:42Uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait.
00:13:46Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:51All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:01You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:03Your brand?
00:14:04It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:18Well, I-
00:14:19Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:20We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:22This is so going viral.
00:14:32I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:34It looks like more than dating.
00:14:36Are-
00:14:37Is this your son?
00:14:38I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:40Don't be silly.
00:14:41You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:44That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:46He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:49But Preston is awesome.
00:14:52He's an action spy.
00:14:54I wish he was my dad.
00:14:56My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he, you know, he's-
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:22Let's give him a show.
00:15:35Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:41I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:46Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
00:15:54You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here? Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Oh, fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:09Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, Mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:21What do I do?
00:16:22Well, that's it then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:26I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:33You're really good at that.
00:16:34Ooh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:44I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:52Daniel loves me. He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:16:56Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:08I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey.
00:17:16Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally. You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa.
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:00No, you know what?
00:18:01I'll go.
00:18:02And clearly she wants you.
00:18:03I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:04Daniel, wait.
00:18:05I won't ever let you go.
00:18:06He won't leave.
00:18:07He promised.
00:18:08It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:09We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:11I'm going to go back.
00:18:12Daniel!
00:18:13Oh, please, it's better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Sh-sh-sh-sh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:35Oh good, you're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.

00:27:00to be honest that's i could use a break from home trouble with the missus
00:27:06uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that come in here are miserable
00:27:12i shouldn't be saying this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood
00:27:20true love story holding hands wiping tears i've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice
00:27:27you said um couple i wasn't sure but i checked the visitation logs and it's official
00:27:34she even helped me repositioned preston when his ivy was twisted she was so sweet
00:27:44need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's it's an old wound i tore it actually um 10 years ago
00:27:54sweet and caring so preston's found the wi-fi i always wanted he only had to break her heart to get it
00:28:04and left me to pick up the pieces
00:28:12fuck it i'm gonna get my shit in y'all
00:28:17mr lee i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film i have a script i've been sitting on
00:28:22it needs the right producer i know it's a long shot but i'd be honored if you'd read it
00:28:37where have you been i kept calling i i started to feel like one of my stalkers
00:28:42what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston
00:28:52seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend
00:28:59yeah that's what you want to call it i i just i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was probably
00:29:10crossing a line it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at
00:29:21a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always
00:29:27do what's best for your career but i just i don't want you to be upset with me
00:29:33seriously i i care about you
00:29:43i love it i've known you for 14 years i know when you're angry really i didn't think you paid
00:29:50attention i pay attention since when do i not pay attention she signed the papers without reading
00:29:58them that's all this marriage ever was to her a headline a performance sabrina
00:30:09sabrina i'm you know what i hate fighting so let's just forget about this okay i was thinking
00:30:17we could revisit your script
00:30:19i gave that to you three years ago you tell me you finally read it well yeah the first 10 pages but
00:30:30they're good the lead role is something i can really sink my teeth into i mean we have to do this
00:30:36me and you the lead actress and the writer director
00:30:41i gave up on that dream of us working together
00:30:43a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour
00:30:51ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have
00:30:58worked on me i would have melted in her hands now i just want to pack and get out of here
00:31:04fine
00:31:20i don't know what you do but i asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful
00:31:27well i've had a lot of experience making it for you i'll be sure to tell him how you like it
00:31:31that's not what i meant i like it when you make it i'm not gonna always be here to make it
00:31:41i knew it you are mad that i brought preston back here i told you it was just a publicity stunt
00:31:49god it's not like our marriage is gonna get me on the cover of vanity fair
00:31:54married people are boring it's good to know where you stand no daniel
00:32:01no that's not what i meant
