00:04:15You know what this means to me
00:04:18How could you?
00:04:20Next!
00:04:22Over 200 auditions and not one single Greta
00:04:26I guess it's not that easy finding my replacement, huh?
00:04:32Um...
00:04:34I...
00:04:34Could give it a try
00:04:37All right
00:04:38All right
00:04:38Show us what you've got
00:04:40Matches girl
00:04:45I hate your face
00:04:48Your eyes
00:04:49Worst color of brown
00:04:51Mud
00:04:52Dirt
00:04:53Broken clay
00:04:54And your big nose just
00:04:57Always pointing you north of nowhere
00:04:59Where
00:05:01But it's your mouth that I hate the most
00:05:04Lips I cannot taste
00:05:05A laugh I cannot forget
00:05:08And a smile
00:05:11And for someone that's not me
00:05:17Uh...
00:05:17Thank you
00:05:20Wow
00:05:20That face
00:05:22The cheekbones of Meryl
00:05:24The eyes of Hepburn
00:05:25That body
00:05:26Stop thinking with your dick for once Mason
00:05:30Although...
00:05:30She is better than anyone else we've seen
00:05:32But...
00:05:33Can she carry a whole show by herself?
00:05:36Vera?
00:05:39Are you ready to be the next Greta Stone?
00:05:44It was the craziest thing
00:05:45I mean...
00:05:46One minute I'm sweeping Raisinets
00:05:48And the next...
00:05:49I'm auditioning for Birdie and Mason Edwards
00:05:53I didn't know you wanted to act
00:05:56Yeah, since I was a kid
00:05:57But I never thought it would happen
00:06:00Well...
00:06:01You're definitely beautiful enough
00:06:02To be an actress
00:06:05Kyle...
00:06:05I don't really think we should
00:06:07Thought you wanted to thank me
00:06:08For letting you stay here?
00:06:09I do, but...
00:06:10Just relax
00:06:33Is that on my face?
00:06:35What?
00:06:41What?
00:06:43Well, it would really show me
00:06:44How grateful you are to me
00:06:46For...
00:06:47Getting you the job
00:06:49I was just kidding
00:06:50Hey, but...
00:06:52I mean, if you want to
00:06:52Okay, you...
00:06:55Had nothing to do with me getting that role
00:06:57Well...
00:06:58I got you the job at the theater
00:06:59So without me
00:07:00You wouldn't have gotten the audition
00:07:02Are you being serious right now?
00:07:03Ah, come on...
00:07:04You talk way too much
00:07:05Okay, I said no!
00:07:18And...
00:07:18And not like a little girl
00:07:20Like...
00:07:21Like...
00:07:21A woman...
00:07:22That wants to be touched
00:07:24Alright, stop
00:07:26This is an Edwards show, okay?
00:07:29Not community theater
00:07:30We have less than three months
00:07:32And it's like I'm watching a middle school dance
00:07:35Why don't you two take five?
00:07:43She's far more green than I thought
00:07:46Maybe we recast
00:07:47It's too late for that
00:07:49It's all over the press
00:07:50The city's buzzing about this play
00:07:53What if the girl stays with us?
00:07:55Right?
00:07:56That way you can really train her
00:07:58You're the only one that can do it, Bertie
00:07:59No
00:08:01Put up in the hotel for goodness sake
00:08:03We need to keep her close
00:08:04So she can learn from you
00:08:06Okay? Come on, you're the best in the biz
00:08:08You just want her close so you can sleep with her
00:08:11Would you stop with that?
00:08:12You want the show to be a success or not?
00:08:16Fine
00:08:18But I want 15% of the revenue
00:08:2110
00:08:22Deal
00:08:39Vera, come here
00:08:44Sit
00:08:45I'm sorry, I was just looking around the house
00:08:48It's massive
00:08:52You want to watch me?
00:08:57Then watch me
00:09:22Say it
00:09:25What do you want from me?
00:09:27I...
00:09:31I can't give you anything until you ask
00:09:35I want you
00:09:43Say it
00:09:44What do you want from me?
00:10:03Just think of
00:10:07You're the best to me
00:10:09I need my credit
00:10:09I can't give you anything
00:10:11I don't think that do you want to fight
00:10:11In impossTs of an excuse
00:10:11Sir Simon
00:10:14The sim
00:10:14Mr. Edwards, hi.
00:10:16Please, call me Mason.
00:10:18Sorry.
00:10:19I don't apologize.
00:10:20So make sure that you're comfortable here and everything you need.
00:10:26Guest bedroom is the opposite way.
00:10:28Oh.
00:10:29Oh, can you have the maid steam this warm, ma'am?
00:10:33Sure.
00:10:47Sit here.
00:10:54One scoop of yogurt, a half a cup of berries, and a cup of green tea is what you'll have.
00:10:59What?
00:11:00From now on, you will eat what I tell you to eat, sleep when I tell you to sleep, and
00:11:05do exactly as I say for the next three months.
00:11:09Is that understood?
00:11:10Do I have a choice?
00:11:11Do you want to be a star?
00:11:13Yes.
00:11:14Of course.
00:11:15Good.
00:11:16Eat your breakfast, and then meet me in the living room for your first lesson.
00:11:24Don't disappoint me there.
00:11:33I was rereading the script.
00:11:36I love the monologue in Act 2.
00:11:38Take off your clothes.
00:11:41Excuse me?
00:11:42Strip.
00:11:44Why?
00:11:45Our deal is that you do everything I say.
00:11:48Remember?
00:11:50If you're a man, I wouldn't.
00:11:51But I'm not a man.
00:11:52So what are you afraid of?
00:12:00You know what?
00:12:00No.
00:12:01I'm not going to let you humiliate me.
00:12:04You think your body is humiliating?
00:12:06Well, now I really have to see what's going on under there.
00:12:09You wouldn't get it.
00:12:11Try me.
00:12:13Because I can't stand to be looked at.
00:12:15I was teased a lot as a kid.
00:12:20An actor's job is to shed every ounce of inhibition in order to become a canvas for the character.
00:12:27Let's try again.
00:12:42Tell me what you see.
00:12:45I don't know.
00:12:45I can't.
00:12:49Your long limbs and determined jaw show your strength.
00:12:55But your shy eyes believe an innocence you haven't yet lost.
00:12:59Your heaving chest and flushed cheeks say.
00:13:04You're enjoying me looking at you.
00:13:05I am.
00:13:08Are you?
00:13:11That's enough.
00:13:13Wait.
00:13:14Don't stop.
00:13:17What about the rest of my body?
00:13:33Yes, I'm soft.
00:13:36In all the right places.
00:13:39But your posture needs work.
00:13:41Strength comes from your core.
00:13:43Not only on the outside.
00:13:48But deep.
00:13:49Down.
00:13:51Inside.
00:13:56Do you like it when I touch you there?
00:14:02Do you like it when I touch you there?
00:14:09Hello?
00:14:11What is going on here?
00:14:13It's a disinhibition exercise.
00:14:16And it was working perfectly until you came stomping in, darling.
00:14:20Don't stop on my account.
00:14:21Please proceed.
00:14:24Can we help you with something?
00:14:25Can we help you with something?
00:14:25Yes, you can.
00:14:26I just want the two of you to know that the whole town is buzzing about the revival and your
00:14:31mentorship with Vera.
00:14:34Look out, L.A. wants to do a cover story on the two of you.
00:14:42I'm not without a little makeover first.
00:14:47Shall we?
00:14:48Watch me walk away, putting myself on display.
00:14:52One, two, three a day.
00:14:54I'm on my way, on my way.
00:14:56I'ma have you on tiptoes.
00:14:58Watching my diamond after blow.
00:15:00I know you want to take me home.
00:15:02I'm on my way, on my way.
00:15:14Now you're ready.
00:15:16Say goodbye to Vera Gibson.
00:15:19Say hello to Vera Grace.
00:15:26Vera Grace?
00:15:27Something the matter?
00:15:29Nope.
00:15:31Speak up.
00:15:32Sorry, it's just, uh, it's all happening really fast.
00:15:35You need to choose now.
00:15:37Do you want to be a star or not?
00:15:40I do.
00:15:44Vera Grace.
00:15:45Good.
00:15:47Yes, do you have a say?
00:15:49I had no say in my name.
00:15:52Bertie Edwards?
00:15:53Well, it's kind of an iconic name.
00:15:56Not to me.
00:15:58I don't want to take Mason's name.
00:16:00Did you really have to?
00:16:02It's not really a thing anymore.
00:16:06It was to him.
00:16:07And the Edwards family.
00:16:08Even in our prenup.
00:16:10I never wanted to get married.
00:16:14Mason practically forced me.
00:16:16He controlled everything.
00:16:17My name.
00:16:18My image.
00:16:20My career.
00:16:21My diet.
00:16:23Sounds familiar.
00:16:24It was different.
00:16:26Believe me.
00:16:28I lost control.
00:16:31Fame came overnight.
00:16:33I didn't have time to choose.
00:16:35I just went along with it.
00:16:38And now, fast forward.
00:16:40Fifteen years later, I'm really coming to grips with it.
00:16:45Bertie.
00:16:46Anyways.
00:16:48We should go rehearse.
00:16:52Okay, Vera.
00:16:53Try a sexy pout.
00:16:56So much for the next big starlet, huh?
00:17:00Maybe you just aren't good at your job.
00:17:05Close your eyes.
00:17:18No, stay focused on me.
00:17:26Arch, you're back.
00:17:27Yes.
00:17:28Beautiful.
00:17:30Let's get you up there with her, Bertie.
00:17:32Come on.
00:17:33Come on.
00:17:34Come on.
00:17:43You two have an intense connection.
00:17:45It's almost like watching a proud mother with her daughter.
00:17:53What?
00:18:00I just want to be alone.
00:18:01Just ignore him.
00:18:03He's an idiot.
00:18:04It's easy for you to say.
00:18:05You're 23.
00:18:07Yeah, and you're one of those beautiful women in the world.
00:18:10Don't patronize me, Vera.
00:18:13I think you're the sexiest woman I've ever laid eyes on.
00:18:23What are you doing?
00:18:25I thought...
00:18:26You thought what?
00:18:27I'm married.
00:18:29You've been flirting with me since the day we met.
00:18:32No, I haven't.
00:18:33It's called acting.
00:18:36So...
00:18:37You've just been stringing me along?
00:18:39I'm mentoring you.
00:18:41This is what it takes to become a star.
00:19:04I have to admit, I've seen those photos of you in the mirror today.
00:19:09It's very, very, very hot.
00:19:26Ow, you're stubble.
00:19:28You like it.
00:19:29I don't, actually.
00:19:32Besides, you're reek of cheap perfume.
00:19:34Come on, Bertie.
00:19:35You know I only have eyes for you.
00:19:37My wife.
00:19:43I said I'm tired.
00:19:50Wow, she's really making progress.
00:19:53Great work, Bertie.
00:19:54Okay, Vera, put your arms around Adam's neck.
00:19:56Adam, hands on her waist.
00:20:06Kendrick's sick.
00:20:07You want to step in?
00:20:09Sure.
00:20:14Vera, put your arms around Bertie.
00:20:17The torment of that woman's kiss, who makes us her footstool, her plaything, her toy.
00:20:24Sorry, this just isn't working without Kendrick.
00:20:27You should be able to work with any scene partner, including a chair.
00:20:31I'd take the chair over you any day.
00:20:34All right, let's take five.
00:20:36We got back two after the break.
00:20:40You can't talk to me like that.
00:20:46I'm sorry I hurt your feelings at the photo shoot.
00:20:51I overreacted.
00:20:52It was just a misunderstanding.
00:20:54Yeah, it's all in my head.
00:20:56Let's keep it professional.
00:20:58Okay?
00:20:59You're making great progress.
00:21:00I know you don't want to sabotage that.
00:21:03I thought I told you water or green tea only.
00:21:10You're acting like a child.
00:21:14Put that soda down or...
00:21:16Or what?
00:21:17I'll spank you.
00:21:20Put that soda down.
00:21:24Or there'll be consequences for breaking the rules.
00:21:28Prove it.
00:21:30Prove it.
00:21:44Is this what you want?
00:21:46Answer me.
00:21:48Yes.
00:21:56Be quiet or I'll stop.
00:22:10I think that's enough for today.
00:22:13Give me the soda.
00:22:18Good girl.
00:22:22No.
00:22:23That isn't how this is going to work.

00:30:04and eat
00:30:05and drink
00:30:05and laugh about how weird I was as a kid
00:30:10and then you would confess that you were just as weird
00:30:17and then I'd kiss you
00:30:21sweet
00:30:23soft at first
00:30:25but long
00:30:27and deep
00:30:30our mouths wet and hungry for each other
00:30:38and then I'd want to see you naked
00:30:41so I could run my tongue down every crevice of your body
00:30:48I want to know what you taste like
00:30:52I want to kiss you everywhere
00:30:54every inch of you and I wouldn't stop

00:33:54are you jealous?
00:33:59what?
00:34:00no, why would I be?
00:34:02because I saw the way you were looking at me in there
00:34:05like how?
00:34:07like I was your property
00:34:09and...
00:34:10like...
00:34:13maybe...
00:34:14you want my fantasy to come true too?
00:34:20I am...
00:34:22curious
00:34:23in your fantasy
00:34:26what are you making me for dinner?
00:34:28pasta
00:34:31from scratch
00:34:33maizons
00:34:34maizons never cooked me dinner
00:34:36let alone...
00:34:38pasta
00:34:38well you...
00:34:40deserve a...
00:34:41big ol' bowl of pasta
00:34:44that's...
00:34:46definitely...
00:34:46against the rules
00:34:48it's my fantasy
00:34:51fuck your rules
00:34:58birdie edwards?
00:34:59it's so dark in here
00:35:00I could barely tell it was you two
00:35:03sorry to interrupt
00:35:04would you two mind doing an interview?
00:35:07absolutely!
00:35:09let's start with you Miss Farrah Grace
00:35:10how has it been having the one and only birdie edwards training you?
00:35:15well it's been a lot of work
00:35:17but...
00:35:18I wouldn't want to learn from anyone else
00:35:21she's the best
00:35:22you two must be spending a lot of time together
00:35:24you've grown close would you say?
00:35:26yeah we've really bonded...
00:35:29bonded...
00:35:30we've really been bonding
00:35:32over our love of the craft
00:35:35birdie...
00:35:36over 20 years ago
00:35:36you boldly introduced us to the imitable Greta Stone
00:35:40which made you a star
00:35:42how would you say your Greta differs from theirs Greta?
00:35:47well...
00:35:47I think my Greta was...
00:35:49curious
00:35:52but scared
00:35:52scared of what?
00:35:54to come out of her fantasy world
00:35:57because of fear
00:35:58she missed out on true happiness
00:36:01but I think...
00:36:03Vera's interpretation
00:36:05is...
00:36:07definitely teaching the character to go after what she desires
00:36:11well...
00:36:12I think this new Greta Stone 2.0
00:36:14wants more than to give in to her desires
00:36:18she needs love
00:36:23Chris Stone doesn't need anything
00:36:28shit...
00:36:34what?
00:36:36I am so sorry...
00:36:38I didn't forget...

00:42:59Please.
00:43:04That's against the rules.
00:43:06Fuck your rules.
00:43:09You know you don't want to stop.
00:43:18Rules are rules.
00:43:20It won't happen again.
00:43:28You know you don't want to stop.
00:43:58You're not paying attention.
00:44:01Did you just hear what I said?
00:44:03Sorry.
00:44:04Guess I'm still reeling from the mindfuck of yesterday.
00:44:07We're actors.
00:44:08It's what we do.
00:44:09That definitely wasn't acting.
00:44:16Suddenly you're an expert?
00:44:17I am on you.
00:44:24Your heart's pounding.
00:44:26Your hands are sweaty.
00:44:31Your cheeks are flushed.
00:44:33You can lie, but your body tells the truth.
00:44:49I shouldn't have done that.
00:44:51Why not?
00:44:52Because I'm married.
00:44:53To a man.
00:44:54And he's not here.
00:44:55But I am.
00:44:57On your anniversary weekend.
00:44:59This was his idea.
00:45:01You know, for someone that likes control, you're a real sub when it comes to Mason.
00:45:05It's complicated.
00:45:06You wouldn't understand.
00:45:08Mason made me what I am.
00:45:09I can't just turn my back on him.
00:45:13Do you even love him?
00:45:18Of course I do.
00:45:20You're lying to yourself.
00:45:23Again.
00:45:25That's enough.
00:45:26I'm done with this.
00:45:27Fine.
00:45:28If you don't want me, walk away.
00:45:31Then I can be done with this, too.
00:46:16I can be done with this.
00:46:20I guess you belong to me.
00:46:22I guess it was time to see.
00:46:24I guess it was time for me.
00:46:26We'll show you the way you go down.
00:46:27When you go down, look at you now.
00:46:30I guess you belong to me.
00:46:32I guess you belong to me.
00:46:34You have been waiting to see.
00:46:36Now you got your eyes.
00:46:37So slashed.
00:46:39You're so slashed.
00:46:40Cause once I get a hold, you'll never get you.
00:46:43So back.
00:46:44So back.
00:46:45So slashed.
00:46:46You're so slashed.
00:46:47Cause once I get a hold, you'll never get you.
00:46:51So back.
00:46:52So slashed.
00:46:54You're so slashed.
00:46:55Cause once I get a hold, you'll never get you.
00:46:58So back.
00:47:02You might never get you.
00:47:04So back.
00:47:06You don't got your.
00:47:17So sexy.
00:47:20You know what?
00:47:25You're so sexy.
00:47:35What's so funny?
00:47:37Now that I've lived out my fantasy, I don't really know what to do next.
00:47:41Well, I'm sure you'll think of something.
00:47:45What's your fantasy?
00:47:48You'll laugh.
00:47:50I promise I won't.
00:47:54To write and direct my own plays.
00:47:56You would be amazing at that.
00:47:59Tell that to Mason.
00:48:00He thinks I should stay in my lane.
00:48:04Have you had other lovers?
00:48:07Mm-mm.
00:48:10Only you.
00:48:12Well, I hope I didn't disappoint you.
00:48:15Disappoint me?
00:48:16No.
00:48:18He's at the bar, baby.
00:48:20That's all I'm going to think about.
00:48:32Bertie?
00:48:35Bertie?
00:48:38Mason.
00:48:40What are you doing here?
00:48:41Well, my meeting got pushed, and I felt so guilty about missing her anniversary.
00:48:47And I know that there's only one night left here.
00:48:50So I wanted to eat at us.
00:48:53It's a clipping from your very first review of Gretta Stone.
00:48:58Raving, of course.
00:49:00I just wanted you to know that you are and always will be my little star.
00:49:09Mason, this is beautiful.
00:49:13I don't know what to say.
00:49:15I love you, Bertie.
00:49:19Vera.
00:49:20Hey.
00:49:21Hope the two of you are enjoying the weekend so far.
00:49:24Yeah, we have been.
00:49:25Good, I'm starving.
00:49:26Is there anything to eat?
00:49:27In the kitchen.
00:49:28Okay.
00:49:32What am I supposed to do?
00:49:33I don't know.
00:49:34How about being honest about who you are?
00:49:37Stop living a lie?
00:49:38It's not that easy.
00:49:39Well, pretending seems pretty fucking hard, too.
00:49:43I'll figure this out.
00:49:46I just need some more time.
00:49:49Okay?
00:49:49Just until the show wraps.
00:50:07Tired of being on your carousel of men, Gretta?
00:50:10Don't be silly, my love.
00:50:12Tired of the two, Gretta.
00:50:14You have to choose.
00:50:15But it's impossible to choose.
00:50:19So why not have both?
00:50:22Very good, Vera.
00:50:23Kendrick, you're still a little late on your cue, buddy.
00:50:31I got to take this.
00:50:33It's the investor.
00:50:34Run the show?
00:50:35Yeah.
00:50:36Great.
00:50:42Thank you, gentlemen.
00:50:44Hey, I can't talk right now.
00:50:47I can't stop thinking about you, either.
00:50:50Got any notes for me?
00:50:52Sure do.
00:50:52You got to get a little bit closer.
00:50:54Oh, do I?
00:50:55Mm-hmm.
00:51:02You're going to get me in trouble.
00:51:04Okay.
00:51:05Bye.
00:51:09Can I help you?
00:51:11Mr. Edwards, I'm so sorry to bother you, but I need to talk to you about something.
00:51:15Yeah, I got to get back to it.
00:51:17I'm on the clock.
00:51:18It's about Birdie.
00:51:19She's having an affair.
00:51:23Excuse me?
00:51:24Birdie's having an affair with your lead actress, Vera Grace.
00:51:28Okay, I don't know who you are, but I certainly don't need a janitor to tell me about my wife.
00:51:33I'm the concessions manager, and I do know what I'm talking about.
00:51:38Oh, okay, Mr. Concessions Manager.
00:51:41What proof do you have?
00:51:42I've seen them together.
00:51:45Kissing?
00:51:46In bed?
00:51:46What?
00:51:47On stage.
00:51:49Just the looks, the touching.
00:51:51Look, if you watch them closely, you'll see it, too.
00:51:54Okay, look, I don't expect you to understand this, but my wife is an amazing actress.
00:51:59She creates chemistry on stage, so whatever you think you saw, you didn't.
00:52:05Cass, get this guy.
00:52:07He's disrespecting the theater and my wife.
00:52:09Have him fired immediately.
00:52:10You're going to regret this.
00:52:11Pretty soon, the whole world is going to see what's right underneath your nose.
00:52:23Oh, Basin.
00:52:26Birdie was just giving me her insights on Greta's promiscuity and the lack of quality male suitors in her world.
00:52:34Where are Adam and Kendrick?
00:52:36Oh, we gave him a break so we could work some things out alone.
00:52:43You mind if I take the reins back?
00:52:45No, of course not.
00:52:47Sure.
00:52:51Why don't we show Vera the proper slow hands?
00:52:55Techniques.
00:52:56Mm-hmm.
00:52:59You remember our wedding night?
00:53:02Mm-hmm.
00:53:11You're not wearing your new necklace.
00:53:13Oh.
00:53:14Um.
00:53:15It was a little tight on my neck, so I took it off.
00:53:25Make sure you get used to it.
00:53:30Back to work?
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:35Gentlemen, from the top.
00:53:52I see you got your collar on, like a good dog.
00:53:55Mason must be thrilled.
00:54:01I'd like to put you on a leash.
00:54:05I'm sorry, I know this isn't ideal.
00:54:08What?
00:54:08No, I personally love watching you be manhandled in public by your husband while I sneak around in the shadows.
00:54:15It feels like you're ashamed to be with me or something.
00:54:18What?
00:54:20No, I'm not.
00:54:22Hey, back in five.
00:54:25You okay?
00:54:26Yep.
00:54:27Be right there.
00:54:31I promise, when this is all over, I will leave him.
00:54:36I only want to be with you.
00:54:39Our way.
00:54:41I wish there was a way for us to be together now.
00:54:44I just want to touch you and not care who sees it.
00:54:48Maybe I know a way.
00:54:51What are you doing tonight?
00:55:03I can't do this.
00:55:04Hey.
00:55:06I'm in charge tonight.
00:55:10Come on.
00:55:18I've never been to one of these before.
00:55:20What, a masquerade party?
00:55:22A lesbian party.
00:55:25You can be yourself, dear.
00:55:35I've never felt this free before.
00:55:38That's why I love this place.
00:55:40It's not this place.
00:55:44It's you, Vera.
00:55:46Vera.
00:55:48Vera.
00:55:57Oh, my God.
00:55:59You're Buddy Edwards.
00:56:02Excuse me?
00:56:03I'm your biggest fan.
00:56:04I've seen Stone's fantasy at least 50 times.
00:56:07I'm sorry.
00:56:08I don't know what you're talking about.
00:56:10I'm sorry.
00:56:11I thought you were the actress of Birdie Edwards.
00:56:15You look so familiar.
00:56:16Are you sure you're not famous?
00:56:17Oh, trust me.
00:56:18She's not.
00:56:19Oh.
00:56:20I feel terrible.
00:56:22Can I buy you both a drink to make up for it?
00:56:25It's fine, really.
00:56:28Have a good one.
00:56:34Oh.
00:56:36I have a lot of fun tonight.
00:56:37Oh, who said it was over?
00:56:44Sorry.
00:56:46Sorry I took that picture of you.
00:56:49You're fine.
00:56:50Have a good night.
00:56:53Hey.
00:56:56How would you like making 500 bucks?
00:57:04Make me one of your martinis.
00:57:06I think we should just go to bed.
00:57:08We have a big day tomorrow.
00:57:09Oh, but I'm having fun.
00:57:12I just want to be with you.
00:57:18So, earlier was a lie?
00:57:22No, of course not.
00:57:25But that was fantasy land.
00:57:27This is real life.
00:57:30So, real life means always having to hide who we are?
00:57:34Never actually being together?
00:57:36That's not fair.
00:57:38Tonight was fun.
00:57:41But we have to stay focused on the play.
00:57:43Oh, my God.
00:57:44It's always about the fucking play.
00:57:46Oh, your voice.
00:57:47Why?
00:57:48I'm not afraid to tell everyone who I love.
00:57:52Dora, what do you say?
00:57:54I love you, Birdie.
00:58:01Clearly, you don't feel the same.
00:58:03I'm such a baby.
00:58:08Don't.
00:58:10Don't touch me.
00:58:12Ever again.
00:58:14Ever again.
00:58:15Ever again.
00:58:30You got a lover to protect her?
00:58:32Bye, River.
00:58:32Bye, River.
00:58:32Bye, River.
00:58:32Bye, River.
00:58:32Bye, River.
00:58:34Bye, River.
00:58:34Bye, River.
00:58:56I told you I don't want to see you again.
00:58:59Why are you here?
00:59:04Because I wanted to let you know that I've been thinking, and, uh...
00:59:13Mira, I'm in love with you, too.
00:59:18You mean that?
00:59:20I do.
00:59:28On your knees.
00:59:45Birdie, what the hell are you doing?
00:59:48Mason, I can explain.
00:59:49No, don't bother. I already know about all your deviant behavior.
00:59:52She is not deviant.
00:59:55We're in love.
00:59:59You poor idiot girl.
01:00:01Do you honestly think that Birdie Edwards is in love with you?
01:00:04She only loves this spotlight.
01:00:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:00:07And the 10% cut that she's making off of you.
01:00:09How dare you? You don't know the first thing about her.
01:00:13Mason is right.
01:00:16But that was before everything.
01:00:19So it really was just business.
01:00:21It wasn't.
01:00:23Or at least not anymore.
01:00:24How am I supposed to believe anything you say?
01:00:27Why don't I help speed this up here?
01:00:42Birdie, what is it?
01:00:49You know, the whole world knows about the two of you.
01:00:51Well done.
01:00:52So what?
01:00:54I'm not ashamed of who I am or who I love.
01:00:57Mason, I am sincerely sorry.
01:01:00We didn't want you to find out this way.
01:01:02We never meant to hurt you, but...
01:01:05Birdie and I just want to be together.
01:01:07We should go to a press conference.
01:01:09Oh, I...
01:01:10I want the world to know how I feel about you, but...
01:01:13You think that's a bit much?
01:01:14I already contacted Gwen's office.
01:01:16We're meeting her tomorrow.
01:01:17Good.
01:01:19She'll handle it.
01:01:20Wait, what is happening here?
01:01:22Who's Gwen?
01:01:23She's our publicist.
01:01:26So you're just going to have your publicist sweep this under the rug?
01:01:29This is how celebrities handle crises.
01:01:33What about starting our lives together?
01:01:36Living our truth?
01:01:40It wasn't supposed to come out that way.
01:01:42So what?
01:01:43It's out.
01:01:44I don't care how.
01:01:45I just care about being with you.
01:01:51It's complicated.
01:01:52Yeah, it's complicated, I'll say.
01:01:55We've got less than ten fucking minutes to open this show.
01:01:58And every single member in that audience is going to know about this scandal.
01:02:01And it's your job to fucking make them forget it.
01:02:04The show must go on, right?
01:02:06It's all you've ever cared about?
01:02:09Well, good luck finding your new Greta Stone.
01:02:12No, Vera, you're not thinking clearly.
01:02:13Actually, I've never felt more clear about anything in my entire life.
01:02:18I see who you are.
01:02:20A fame monster that he created.
01:02:23Always afraid to be honest.
01:02:25Show your true self.
01:02:28You're living in a gilded cage, Bertie.
01:02:31I mean, if that's what being a star is, then I don't want any part of it.
01:02:35Hey.
01:02:36Do you know how much time and money I've invested in you?
01:02:39A million girls would die to be in your place.
01:02:42You are an ungrateful brat.
01:02:45You're a joke, Mason.
01:02:47And a sham.
01:02:48The only one with any real talent is Bertie, and you've been riding her coattails for years.
01:02:53You may have convinced her that she needs you,
01:02:56but you'll never convince me.
01:03:00Listen, if you walk out that door, you're never coming back.
01:03:11Come with me.
01:03:15We can make our own art together, just like we talked about.
01:03:20Please.
01:03:24I love you.
01:03:35Good luck with the show.
01:03:45Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that tonight's
01:03:48and all subsequent performances of Stone's Fantasy are cancelled.
01:03:53Until further notice.
01:04:09This is what we need to do.
01:04:11Lots of couples' time and charity work.
01:04:14In fact, photos of you two doing charity work as a couple.
01:04:17Yeah, I used to volunteer at the children's hospital all the time, so...
01:04:23No, you didn't.
01:04:25Well, I gave blood once or twice.
01:04:31Why are we doing this?
01:04:32Because if we don't turn this PR nightmare around and get the show back on its feet,
01:04:37we will lose every cent we have, Bertie.
01:04:42No.
01:04:44I don't think it'll work.
01:04:45Trust me, this is a tried-and-true strategy of many a floundering celebrity.
01:04:50No.
01:04:51I mean, this won't fix what's wrong between us, Mason.
01:04:58I'll give you two a moment.
01:05:03Haven't you caused enough trouble already?
01:05:06Just answer me one question.
01:05:10Are you happy?
01:05:12What kind of question is that?
01:05:14A simple one.
01:05:15Because I can honestly say...
01:05:18I'm not happy.
01:05:22I don't know if I've ever been.
01:05:23How dare you?
01:05:26I have given you everything that you ever wanted.
01:05:32Except love.
01:05:35You're not leaving me.
01:05:36Because if you do,
01:05:38I will take everything.
01:05:40I know all about the other women, Mason.
01:05:43You can have the house.
01:05:45But I want the theater.
01:05:49You owe me that much.
01:05:51You'll never make it without me.
01:05:55Maybe.
01:05:59But I'm going to try anyways.
01:06:13The number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
01:06:47I've never felt this free before.
01:06:49I've never felt this free before.
01:06:52I've never felt this free before.
01:06:53I've never felt this free before.
01:06:53I've never felt this free before.
01:07:07I've never felt this free before.
01:07:08Birdie.
01:07:10This is phenomenal.
01:07:15I was struck by inspiration.
01:07:17And it just poured out of me.
01:07:20Did that inspiration take the form of a beautiful dark-eyed girl named Vera Grace?
01:07:29I love her, Cass.
01:07:31I'm no longer afraid to admit it.
01:07:35That's why I need you to tell me where she is.
01:07:38I'm sorry, I don't know, Bertie.
01:07:40She must have left a forwarding address.
01:07:43She did, but it was a P.O. box.
01:07:46I'm afraid I don't know any more than that.
01:07:48No phone number or nothing?
01:07:51I wish I could help.
01:07:59I'm going to miss seeing you every day, Bertie Edwards.
01:08:02You are a true star.
01:08:09What are you going to do now?
01:08:11The only thing I know how to do.
01:08:14Take this broken heart and turn it into art.
01:08:26Bertie, you have a new play coming out, A Mast Love Affair.
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:31It's a much smaller production than I've been involved with in the past, but it's the one I'm most proud
01:08:37of.
01:08:38You wrote, you're directing, and you're starring in this play.
01:08:42You're quite the triple hyphenate.
01:08:44Tell us about this play.
01:08:46Well, it's about finding yourself when you didn't even realize how lost you were.
01:08:52And it was inspired by someone very special to me.
01:08:57You're the only one that knows me.
01:09:00All of me.
01:09:03There are parts of me that came alive because of you.
01:09:06I'm ready to make this fantasy a reality.
01:09:14I'm ready to make this fantasy.
01:09:44I'm ready to make this fantasy a reality.
01:10:39I'm ready to make this fantasy a reality and I'm ready to make this fantasy a reality.
01:10:50You
