Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Eight years. It's been eight long years since I last saw my little Ashley. Today's the day I
00:00:11finally get to see my daughter get married. Happy birthday, sweetheart. Thanks, Mom. Your presents
00:00:20are always my favorite. Anyway, today is Ashley's big day and Mom is here with your favorite gifts.
00:00:33Whoa, lady, stop. Stop. You don't want to try panhanding here and no loitering neither. Do yourself a favor. This
00:00:41is a high-end joint and you clearly don't belong here. So get out before I drag you out.
00:00:49Wait, stop. Hold on a second. Miss Anderson.
00:00:54Ashley.
00:01:01Mom, can we talk over there?
00:01:07What are you doing here? I told you not to come.
00:01:10Well, I, every mother wants to see their little girl walk down the aisle.
00:01:16I brought you some of your favorites from home.
00:01:20This strawberry jam, turkey jerky,
00:01:26and I needed you this scarf.
00:01:31Are you serious right now? What am I supposed to do with all of these?
00:01:34Do you have any idea who I'm marrying?
00:01:36Oh my God, it smells like a barn.
00:01:43Ashley, I can see you don't want me here.
00:01:47Can I just watch?
00:01:49No, Mom.
00:01:50I told everyone that you were traveling abroad and you just couldn't make it.
00:01:55Now you just show up out of the blue.
00:01:56How am I even going to explain that?
00:02:01I'm sorry. I didn't know.
00:02:04I thought it would be a nice surprise.
00:02:08Mom, you work too hard.
00:02:10When I grow up, I will take you to the fanciest restaurant
00:02:14and go on a beach vacation.
00:02:17Thank you, sweetheart.
00:02:19I thought you would be happy to see me.
00:02:23Ashley.
00:02:27Who's this?
00:02:30Uh...
00:02:33This...
00:02:34This is my, um...
00:02:35My Aunt Nancy.
00:02:37She just dropped in.
00:02:39Got it. Welcome.
00:02:41Why don't you just invite your aunt in?
00:02:42Okay, yeah, yeah, of course.
00:02:46Okay, fine.
00:02:48But don't embarrass me.
00:02:50Remember,
00:02:51your Aunt Nancy
00:03:06It's magnificent.
00:03:08My little girl is marrying into a whole other world.
00:03:12I hear she has no family attending the wedding.
00:03:16That's so sucks.
00:03:17They say she comes from poor's.
00:03:19She's probably some country hick
00:03:21who somehow clawed her way
00:03:24into the Anderson family.
00:03:27Well...
00:03:29What are you talking about?
00:03:30Who else?
00:03:32The bride, of course.
00:03:36You can tell by her posture alone
00:03:38that she comes from broke trash.
00:03:40But she acts like she's a goddamn princess.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43Even her mother didn't show up.
00:03:45Either Ashley is ashamed
00:03:48or mom abandoned her.
00:03:50Either way,
00:03:52it's a load plus shit.
00:03:56None of what you're saying is true.
00:03:59Ashley is kind and thoughtful.
00:04:01And she may have a humble background,
00:04:04but she's rich in character.
00:04:07Who are you anyway?
00:04:08You know, usually the janitors
00:04:10don't show up until after the wedding.
00:04:14Look at her clothes.
00:04:16My socks cost more than half the clothes set.
00:04:21Wait, wait.
00:04:23Don't tell me she's related to the bride.
00:04:25That would be...
00:04:26Yikes.
00:04:27As a matter of fact,
00:04:29yes, I'm here for Ashley.
00:04:32Ha!
00:04:32I knew it.
00:04:37I almost feel sorry for Ashley.
00:04:39She worked so hard
00:04:41to hide people like you from us.
00:04:45Little princess must be mortified.
00:04:47You're here.
00:04:51Mortified?
00:04:53What am I doing to embarrass her?
00:04:56And what would you know
00:04:57about my bank account?
00:04:59Oh, my God, lady.
00:05:00Do I really have to spell it out for you?
00:05:02That sad little outfit of yours
00:05:04wouldn't even hit 50 bucks.
00:05:06What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:10You!
00:05:12What the hell is going on in here?
00:05:16You!
00:05:17You just standing there.
00:05:19Get back to work.
00:05:20Setting tables or whatever it is
00:05:21that you people do.
00:05:23I'm having a word with a manager
00:05:25about hiring better staff.
00:05:27Look at you.
00:05:29Filthy.
00:05:30Ma'am, I'm not part of the staff.
00:05:32Please, you don't expect me to believe
00:05:35that you're on my list.
00:05:37Lucy, actually, yes.
00:05:38She's here to support Miss Ashley, apparently.
00:05:41And with you, Lucy,
00:05:42it doesn't look like she belongs here.
00:05:44Shh.
00:05:47Well, someone's obviously mistaken.
00:05:50Because I went through the guest list myself
00:05:53and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her.
00:05:56Well, maybe you missed it.
00:05:58I don't think so.
00:06:01Who are you, really?
00:06:03I think you should leave before I call security.
00:06:07I'm not leaving.
00:06:10I'm here to see Ashley.
00:06:12But Ashley didn't put you on the list, did she?
00:06:17Or are you here hoping for a handout?
00:06:20I mean, these gifts are for the bride and groom.
00:06:23They're not for guests.
00:06:28All I wanted was to be here for Ashley.
00:06:31Fine.
00:06:32If you want to continue with this madness,
00:06:35then you've just pulled this on yourself, haven't you?
00:06:44Lucy, maybe just let it go.
00:06:46It's your son's big day.
00:06:48You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty.
00:06:50No way.
00:06:51That lady deserved it.
00:06:53Somebody had to teach her a lesson.
00:06:55I'm not here to cause trouble.
00:06:58I'm just here for the ceremony
00:07:00and to bring some gifts for the bride.
00:07:04Really?
00:07:04Let's see what delightful little treasures
00:07:08that you've dragged in here.
00:07:13Incredible.
00:07:16Preserves.
00:07:23Dried meat.
00:07:26Oh, and a scarf that smells like the bottom of a stable.
00:07:40Shall I show you what we do with the trash?
00:07:46No!
00:07:47What are you doing?
00:07:49Stop!
00:07:50Somebody help me, please!
00:07:53I told you
00:07:55that I can do what the fuck I love.
00:08:01I'm Ashley!
00:08:04I'm Ashley!
00:08:10It's lying!
00:08:12Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland.
00:08:16Although my daughter-in-law's family
00:08:18may not be at our level,
00:08:20they are very respectable.
00:08:23And what the hell are you?
00:08:25Did she really say that?
00:08:28Of course.
00:08:30Did you really think
00:08:31you could come
00:08:32waltzing in here
00:08:34and ruining my son's wedding?
00:08:37You're not the first
00:08:38freeloading fraud
00:08:40that I've encountered.
00:08:42Don't worry, everyone.
00:08:44This old bag lady,
00:08:46she won't be troubling us much longer.
00:08:49Yeah, kick her ass out.
00:08:51I'm sick of her
00:08:52frumboid little face.
00:09:04Why are you crazy?
00:09:06Are you gonna murder me in public?
00:09:09Why not?
00:09:10Who'd even notice
00:09:11if you were gone?
00:09:18Mother?
00:09:22Mother?
00:09:24Mother?
00:09:27Mother?
00:09:30Ashley, do you know this woman?
00:09:33So why wasn't she on the guest list?
00:09:35That's my...
00:09:38distant relative.
00:09:40Aunt Nancy.
00:09:41Um, she dropped by last minute.
00:09:43Yes, we met her at the entrance.
00:09:47I'm...
00:09:49I'm her Aunt Nancy.
00:09:53Your mother's in Switzerland.
00:09:55That's right, isn't it?
00:09:57Yes, of course.
00:09:59Lying's not going to get you
00:10:00very far in my world.
00:10:02Your niece,
00:10:04my daughter-in-law,
00:10:06isn't going to follow
00:10:08your tall tales.
00:10:11Okay,
00:10:12Auntie?
00:10:23I...
00:10:24I never wanted
00:10:26any of this.
00:10:27I just wanted
00:10:28to see Ashley happy.
00:10:31Happy?
00:10:32With you here?
00:10:36Well...
00:10:40Maybe this will cheer
00:10:43everybody up.
00:10:50Maybe this will cheer
00:10:56everybody up.
00:10:56she wants to be...
00:11:09Mother, she...
00:11:10She really didn't mean to cause a fuss.
00:11:12She just really wanted to see me get married.
00:11:14You're defending
00:11:15this marmalade woman?
00:11:20You know, I call you my daughter-in-law, but it's not official yet.
00:11:26Do you still want to marry my son?
00:11:29Yes, of course, Mother.
00:11:32Good. Then I'll give you one more chance.
00:11:35Sure, Mother. I'll upper leave now.
00:11:37Aunt Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to...
00:11:40Oh, no, no, no, dear. That's not enough.
00:11:44Now, go over and slap her in her ugly peasant face.
00:11:50It's that, or you can forget about joining our family.
00:11:54Come on, Ashley. Everything's ready. Stop wasting time.
00:11:58Give her a quick slap and let's move on.
00:12:02Ashley, look at me.
00:12:06What has happened to you?
00:12:09Look. Look at who I am.
00:12:14Shut up. That's enough.
00:12:16I know who you are.
00:12:19Sorry, Mom. This is my future.
00:12:22You wanted me to have everything.
00:12:25So, you just have to forgive me.
00:12:51I can't believe you'd hit me.
00:12:55How could you?
00:12:57I knew you're her what?
00:13:00You're just some hillbilly distant relative from the middle of nowhere.
00:13:05Well, just look at you. That outfit. Standing amongst your betters. If you're not ashamed, we are on your behalf.
00:13:15Amen to that, Mrs. Anderson.
00:13:17You know, if the press catches on to this, it will be all over the feeds tomorrow. A total tabloid
00:13:23scandal.
00:13:25Ashley?
00:13:25Ashley, how could you treat me like this after all these years?
00:13:31It's so pathetic. She's still acting like she matters.
00:13:40Say something.
00:13:44Tell them.
00:13:46Tell them who I am.
00:13:50Mom, I...
00:13:52Yes, Ashley.
00:13:53Yes, I'm here.
00:14:03I'm sorry, Mom.
00:14:05I...
00:14:05I can't admit it.
00:14:09I'm getting weary with this charade.
00:14:12Is there going to be a wedding or not?
00:14:14Or shall we just cool this whole thing off?
00:14:17Ashley, come on. This is our big day.
00:14:20Are you siding with my mother or this...
00:14:22This vagabond?
00:14:23Do you even want to marry me?
00:14:26Of course.
00:14:28I...
00:14:28I didn't mean that at all.
00:14:33Please, just stop.
00:14:36Just tell them you were wrong.
00:14:38And leave quietly.
00:14:40For me.
00:14:42But what...
00:14:43What did I do wrong?
00:14:45I...
00:14:45I just came to see you get married.
00:14:49She's a persistent little bumpkin.
00:14:51I'll give her that.
00:14:52I guess you have to be persistent to survive out in the wilderness.
00:14:57Okay. Enough.
00:14:58Just go.
00:14:59I don't want you here.
00:15:02Leave now.
00:15:06I'm sorry.
00:15:08I'm just a poor woman from the countryside.
00:15:13I shouldn't have called.
00:15:17Not bad.
00:15:18Well, since you came all this way, all by uninvited, let me offer you some dessert.
00:15:32I bet you've never seen anything quite this exquisite in your whole miserable life.
00:15:39Bon appetit.
00:15:41I don't want you to do it.
00:15:42I don't want you to do it.
00:15:50I don't want you to do it.
00:15:52I don't want you to do it.
00:15:57I don't want you to do it.
00:15:58I don't want you to do it.
00:15:59I don't want you to do it.
00:16:00I don't want you to do it.
00:16:00I don't want you to do it.
00:16:00I don't want you to do it.
00:16:01I don't want you to do it.
00:16:01I don't want you to do it.
00:16:01I don't want you to do it.
00:16:02I don't want you to do it.
00:16:03I don't want you to do it.
00:16:05I don't want you to do it.
00:16:07I don't want you to do it.
00:16:16Oh, another pear tainted.
00:16:27All right, now get out before you taint this wedding any further.
00:16:35All right, I'll go.
00:16:41Congratulations, Ashley.
00:16:44I hope you have a happy marriage.
00:16:47Of course she'll be happy.
00:16:49She's marrying my son.
00:16:51How could she not?
00:16:54And don't forget your gifts.
00:16:56Yeah, I don't need them.
00:17:32Ashley, I only wanted to see you happy.
00:17:36I still hope you will be.
00:17:54Miss Brooke, our client is waiting up to him.
00:18:16Ma?
00:18:19It really is you.
00:18:23It's me.
00:18:25Lauren.
00:18:28Lauren?
00:18:30Is it really you?
00:18:32Ma was always so kind to me.
00:18:34I mean, she adopted me and raised me as her own.
00:18:39Now you're both my precious girls.
00:18:42Then in college, my birth parents reached out after the hurricane.
00:18:47Everything was so confusing and I was so lost.
00:18:50Now I've got all this money and a new life, but God, I still miss Ma so much.
00:18:56I searched for you.
00:18:58I searched for you for years.
00:18:59I didn't know if you survived the hurricane.
00:19:05What happened?
00:19:08Mom, I reconnected you with my birth parents.
00:19:14So much has happened.
00:19:16I thought you'd all forgotten about me.
00:19:21Never.
00:19:23Never.
00:19:25No.
00:19:27No.
00:19:30Mom.
00:19:31Let's go home.
00:19:47Oh, Lauren, I can't go inside.
00:19:50I don't belong here.
00:19:52I should go.
00:19:53Mom, what are you saying?
00:19:55You're family.
00:19:57My home is your home.
00:20:00Lauren!
00:20:01Who's this?
00:20:06This is my adoptive mother.
00:20:08The woman who raised me.
00:20:10Mom, this is William.
00:20:13He is my-
00:20:14Another mother.
00:20:16Lauren, this is a lot to drop on somebody.
00:20:18How am I supposed to process this?
00:20:21Lauren, what other secrets are you hiding?
00:20:22What else is there?
00:20:25I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:20:26I should go.
00:20:27I'll only be in the way here.
00:20:31No!
00:20:31No, please.
00:20:33Stay.
00:20:34Lauren, I don't want to come between you and your boyfriend.
00:20:38Ma, you are not just an outsider.
00:20:41Okay?
00:20:41Forget him.
00:20:42Let's just go inside.
00:20:47Babe, I wish you told me your mother was coming in advance.
00:20:50Could have gotten a nicer gift.
00:20:52Nancy, I'm William.
00:20:53I'm Lauren's fiance.
00:20:55Please excuse my behaviour from earlier.
00:20:57Sometimes I can get a little bit anxious.
00:20:59But it's no excuse, okay?
00:21:01Come inside.
00:21:02Take your shoes off.
00:21:03Let's get comfortable.
00:21:04Hopefully you can accept this gift from me as well.
00:21:09Thank you, William.
00:21:12Did you say Lauren's fiance?
00:21:18Yes, Mom.
00:21:19I'm doing well.
00:21:20You don't have to worry about me anymore.
00:21:23Now that's more like it.
00:21:27Come on.
00:21:29Let's go inside.
00:21:30And chill.
00:21:35What a disaster of a wedding you've pulled off.
00:21:39Embarrassing.
00:21:40Chaotic.
00:21:42You're pulling off on your own and you bring in this distant aunt to humiliate me.
00:21:47Mother, I'm sorry.
00:21:49I...
00:21:49Sorry doesn't cut it.
00:21:52You barely earn anything and you can't even afford a goddamn housekeeper.
00:21:57I could have asked my aunt Nancy to help her run the house.
00:22:00She'll do it for real cheap and she'll do whatever you want.
00:22:04Alright.
00:22:05But if she doesn't make this place sparkle, she will not get a penny.
00:22:22My shoes are dirty.
00:22:24My socks have holes in them.
00:22:26I should just stay here.
00:22:37Hey, don't worry about it.
00:22:39This floor...
00:22:40It was made for you to walk home.
00:22:45Mom...
00:22:47You've worked your whole life.
00:22:49You gave me everything.
00:22:51You shouldn't have to feel like a stranger in your own daughter's home.
00:22:58Both.
00:23:08Mom...
00:23:09You don't need to be nervous.
00:23:11This is your home now.
00:23:14You can retire.
00:23:16Enjoy life.
00:23:17Exactly.
00:23:20I never thought I'd be able to quit working.
00:23:22Much less live like this.
00:23:25It's all a little overwhelming to be honest.
00:23:29By the way, Mom, what brought you to the city?
00:23:31I came for Ashley's wedding.
00:23:33Oh my god, really?
00:23:36Ashley married?
00:23:38That's Mom's biological daughter.
00:23:40We grew up together.
00:23:41I remember you said you had a sister.
00:23:43But you didn't really say much about her.
00:23:46We haven't been in touch in forever.
00:23:47We lost contact after college.
00:23:50Who did she marry?
00:23:52Steven Anderson.
00:23:54Oh, the Andersons.
00:23:56I've heard of them.
00:23:57They have a company with great growing potential.
00:24:00Good for Ashley.
00:24:02Yeah.
00:24:04You seem like a good match.
00:24:15Hello?
00:24:16Hey, Mom, it's me.
00:24:18Ashley.
00:24:19About earlier.
00:24:21Yeah, forget it.
00:24:23Hey, can you come to my house tomorrow?
00:24:25Don't get the wrong idea.
00:24:26We're just really busy with the baby and we need an extra hand.
00:24:29I assume you're not busy, right?
00:24:31Yes.
00:24:32Yeah, no problem.
00:24:33I'm glad I can help.
00:24:36I can see my grandchild, right?
00:24:39Willow?
00:24:40Yeah, sure.
00:24:42But just so you know we can't pay you a lot, my finances are really tied up right now.
00:24:45I don't need money.
00:24:47Seeing you and my grandchild is more than enough.
00:24:52This means the world to me.
00:24:54Cool.
00:24:54I'll text you the address.
00:24:59Okay, Mom, it's done.
00:25:01Just start with tomorrow.
00:25:04Well, she better do a good job or she'll answer to me.
00:25:11Lauren, I think I have to leave.
00:25:14Ashley needs me.
00:25:17Is she okay?
00:25:18Yes, I'm busy, you know.
00:25:22And I'm gonna go help out over there.
00:25:26Okay.
00:25:27I understand.
00:25:30Please come back soon.
00:25:34I'll send Ashley a gift.
00:25:36Something to help her with her career.
00:25:38We may not be close anymore, but we're still sisters.
00:25:41And I want you both to have the best life possible.
00:25:44Thank you, Lauren.
00:25:57Ashley, can you not do one thing right for a change?
00:26:01Ashley, Mother's right.
00:26:04This wedding costs a fortune.
00:26:05I called Aunt Nancy.
00:26:08She will cook, clean, whatever.
00:26:11It'll save us a lot of time and energy.
00:26:13A bargain bin relative.
00:26:15Is that the single thing that you can bring to this marriage?
00:26:19Sad.
00:26:22Sorry.
00:26:25Hello?
00:26:27The Brooks Group wants to partner with me?
00:26:31I'd give a $5 million commission?
00:26:34What?
00:26:39Stephen!
00:26:40The Brooks Group, they want to work with me and I'd give $5 million!
00:26:44$5 million!
00:26:44It's a miracle!
00:26:46Well...
00:26:50Well, well, Ashley!
00:26:52I always knew you were a good girl, deep down.
00:26:58The Brooks Group, they are the biggest corporation in the city!
00:27:02And this is going to triple out business value.
00:27:07Ashley, baby, I knew you could be there.
00:27:11Tell me, how in the world did you land a deal with the Brooks Group?
00:27:15I... honestly, I don't know.
00:27:18They said there's going to be a banquet next week and we're going to sign the contract there.
00:27:21Ooh!
00:27:23I am so proud of you, darling!
00:27:27Oh, um, Aunt Nancy.
00:27:29I'm coming!
00:27:33Uh...
00:27:34Hey, so...
00:27:36Remember, you're my Aunt Nancy.
00:27:38If you want to stay here, don't forget that. Got it?
00:27:41Shhh!
00:27:51Stop right there!
00:27:52Look at your shoes!
00:27:55Covered in mud!
00:27:56You dare to walk in like that?
00:28:04Sorry.
00:28:06So sorry.
00:28:07Now.
00:28:09Take off your shoes.
00:28:11Kneel down.
00:28:13And clean every inch that you stay.
00:28:18Then you can enter.
00:28:25Mom's right, Aunt Nancy. Just hurry up and clean the floor.
00:28:50That's much more like it.
00:29:02That's much more like it.
00:29:06I'll go prepare them for me.
00:29:10I love you.
00:29:11I love you.
00:29:30I love you.
00:29:32I love you.
00:29:33I love you.
00:29:36I love you.
00:29:39That must be my granddaughter.
00:29:42Oh, sweet child.
00:29:44I'd...
00:29:45stay here forever.
00:29:47Just for her.
00:29:54Hello, Willem.
00:29:55Don't touch my granddaughter.
00:29:58Don't touch my granddaughter.
00:29:59She's my granddaughter too.
00:30:05Ashley insists you know how to cook.
00:30:08We'll see about that.
00:30:10You know we keep a very strict inventory around here.
00:30:14What is that?
00:30:16Supposed to mean you.
00:30:18You think I'd steal something?
00:30:20Of course.
00:30:21It's in your nature.
00:30:23I almost don't blame you.
00:30:25But if anything goes missing,
00:30:29I will blame you.
00:30:35If just one...
00:30:40is unaccounted for...
00:30:43you will regret it.
00:30:57Who said you could eat with us?
00:31:03I...
00:31:04I don't understand.
00:31:05How many times do I need to explain it to you?
00:31:10Dollard.
00:31:11Look at you.
00:31:12Dress like a beggar.
00:31:15Don't eat somewhere out of my sight.
00:31:18But what is etiquette to sit here?
00:31:21She is a professional nanny.
00:31:24An entirely other breed.
00:31:26We pay top dollar.
00:31:28To have her take care of her children.
00:31:30Do you think you're in the same league?
00:31:32I just...
00:31:33Aunt Nancy, just go eat in the kitchen.
00:31:35I see.
00:31:39I see.
00:31:42I see.
00:31:51I see.
00:31:52I see.
00:32:02I see.
00:32:03It's...
00:32:04It's a toilet.
00:32:05Is that a dog bowl?
00:32:06Sorry.
00:32:07Yeah, there's another guest room.
00:32:08We'll just have to make do.
00:32:09We used to have a puppy in here, but we got rid of it.
00:32:12Mom hated the snot.
00:32:13It shed too much.
00:32:15Really?
00:32:16It would make me sleep in a toilet room.
00:32:19It would make me sleep in a toilet room.
00:32:19Curled up next to it.
00:32:22Toilet bowl.
00:32:25Look, there's really no other room, okay?
00:32:27I mean, if you want to clear more space, you can get rid of the trash.
00:32:31There's some old towels.
00:32:32You can lay those out.
00:32:33There's even water.
00:32:34A dog could survive in here.
00:32:35I don't know what else you need.
00:32:39Ashley, bring me some grapes.
00:32:41Now!
00:32:42Coming, mother!
00:32:46Oh, and don't forget to close the door.
00:32:48Mom hates the snot.
00:32:53Ashley, what happened to you?
00:32:56How can you do this to me?
00:33:04Oh, what are you talking about, Billy?
00:33:09You can't break up with me!
00:33:11Well...
00:33:13I don't consent!
00:33:15Oh!
00:33:17Loser!
00:33:24Drug you, you piece of shit.
00:33:27What's happening?
00:33:29I heard Will crying.
00:33:30She sounds scared.
00:33:32It's nothing!
00:33:34What's that?
00:33:38Sleeping pills.
00:33:39Are you drugging Will?
00:33:41She's...
00:33:41She's just a baby!
00:33:43Give it back!
00:33:44No!
00:33:45Our love is doing anything!
00:33:46You stupid bitch!
00:33:48No!
00:33:56What's going on in here?
00:34:02Ma'am!
00:34:02She was trying to give sleeping pills to Willow!
00:34:05I didn't, I swear!
00:34:07I walked in and...
00:34:11You're trying to hurt my grandchild!
00:34:14What's going on in here?
00:34:16Ashley, your aunt has tried to poison Willow!
00:34:20She's giving sleeping pills to a baby!
00:34:23I didn't!
00:34:25I swear, please listen to me!
00:34:27I...
00:34:30I didn't...
00:34:32It was her!
00:34:34I was trying to protect Willow!
00:34:37Mr. and Mrs. Anderson!
00:34:39You know my credentials!
00:34:41Why would I do this?
00:34:43You disgusting creature!
00:34:45I scold you a few times!
00:34:48Did you take it out of my grandchild?
00:34:51No!
00:34:52No!
00:34:53No!
00:34:56Mother!
00:34:57Her arm is bruised!
00:34:58My poor Willow!
00:35:00How could somebody do something like this to you?
00:35:03Call the police!
00:35:04Now!
00:35:07This lady must have done it while I was in the kitchen!
00:35:09That's why Willow started crying!
00:35:11I came in here because I heard her crying!
00:35:14You have to believe me!
00:35:16You liar!
00:35:18I'll strip you down myself and find the evidence!
00:35:21And then I'll hand you over to the police personally!
00:35:26I didn't do it!
00:35:28Leave me alone!
00:35:30You just pushed me!
00:35:32You dare lay a finger on me!
00:35:36Unlike a baby!
00:35:38I can fight back you filthy cunt!
00:35:43Ashley!
00:35:44Ashley!
00:35:44You know I could never do something like this!
00:35:48Maybe we should just...
00:35:50Just what?
00:35:50She's fucking trying to murder our child!
00:35:53Are you seriously sliding with her right now?
00:35:55No! Of course not!
00:35:57Aunt Nancy!
00:35:58Just tell the truth!
00:36:00Was it you?
00:36:03Ashley!
00:36:04Ashley!
00:36:05You don't believe me either!
00:36:08How could I do something like this?
00:36:11I'm Willow's grave!
00:36:13Shut up!
00:36:14You heard her!
00:36:16Shut up!
00:36:17Now take all your clothes off!
00:36:24By the way...
00:36:28I'll do it myself!
00:36:32I'll do it myself!
00:36:34No!
00:36:37No!
00:36:43Thank you!
00:36:45No!
00:36:47No!
00:36:54I'm happy now. Can I stop? No. Take everything off. Do you need some help? No! No! No! I would
00:37:11never hurt a child.
00:37:15Aunt Nancy, if you didn't do it, just prove it already. Just take your clothes off.
00:37:19What? You'd have me strip completely. Your arm. Okay. I'll do it. I'll do it, Ashley.
00:37:50Now, turn around.
00:37:56Definitely not my dog.
00:38:00Now do you believe me? This proves nothing.
00:38:04Although, it is rather amusing. Now, admit it. Did you abuse Willow?
00:38:12I did not.
00:38:14Mother, maybe she really didn't do anything.
00:38:17Ashley, why do you even defend her? She hurt her child.
00:38:19Exactly. You'd take the side of a would-be murderer. You can choose. Either her, or this family.
00:38:32Aunt Nancy?
00:38:34Um?
00:38:35Please leave now.
00:38:41Ashley?
00:38:44Ah!
00:38:47Ah!
00:38:49Ah!
00:38:50Ah!
00:38:50Ah!
00:38:50Get out, you vile vagabond!
00:38:54Ah!
00:38:55Ah!
00:38:56Ah!
00:38:58Ah!
00:38:59Ah!
00:38:59Ah!
00:38:59Ah!
00:39:00Ah!
00:39:05You think you could steal from us as well?
00:39:08Give that back.
00:39:10Only a few measly bills.
00:39:13Only a broke woman like you would treat this like treasure.
00:39:17Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wouldn't even bother to pick this amount up off the ground.
00:39:21I used such measly bucks to raise two daughters.
00:39:25I was able to give my children a better life out of the country and in the city.
00:39:31I am sure they are glad to be away from you, hillbilly.
00:39:35I earned every cent I made through hard work.
00:39:39You think you're better than me?
00:39:41You think my money is worthless?
00:39:44I made a happy home.
00:39:46Earning this much every month.
00:39:49This is a month's income.
00:39:52Beautiful.
00:39:53No one here wants your paltry earnings.
00:39:57So get out.
00:39:58You delusional, impoverished, bitch!
00:40:14Mom?
00:40:20What is going on here?
00:40:23Who are you people?
00:40:25How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:29Who are you people?
00:40:30How dare you treat her like this?
00:40:34Forget it, Lauren.
00:40:35I just want to leave.
00:40:37Mom?
00:40:38Did they hurt you?
00:40:40No.
00:40:41No.
00:40:41They're...
00:40:42They're my employers.
00:40:44That's right.
00:40:45She works for us.
00:40:46Who cares if we gave her a little lesson?
00:40:49And who the hell are you?
00:40:51I'm her daughter.
00:40:52What?
00:40:54Mom only had me.
00:40:56Well, and Lauren.
00:40:58But who knows what happened to that poor foster girl?
00:41:01You liar!
00:41:03She's just a kind woman I met in the city.
00:41:07She's been helping me.
00:41:08I told her she reminded me of my daughter.
00:41:13You really like clinging to younger women.
00:41:18No children of your own to scam or did you run them off?
00:41:22Do not speak to her that way.
00:41:25Nancy is my family.
00:41:27She's still trash.
00:41:29The two of you deserve each other.
00:41:31A couple of lying beggars.
00:41:35Oh, beggars!
00:41:37Do you know who I am?
00:41:39We don't care who you are.
00:41:40Ever heard of Brooks Group?
00:41:42The Brooks Group?
00:41:44What?
00:41:44Do you clean their toilets or something?
00:41:47Oh, you really have no clue, do you?
00:41:51Well, sweetheart, I don't feel well.
00:41:54Can we just go home?
00:41:56Of course, Ma.
00:41:57I'll take you home.
00:41:58You, you pathetic little bums.
00:42:14Ma, I'm here.
00:42:16Oh.
00:42:18Oh.
00:42:19Oh.
00:42:20Are you feeling all right?
00:42:22What did they do to you?
00:42:25Just say the word and I'll make them pay.
00:42:27I, I'm, I'm okay.
00:42:29Ma, you said you were going to Ashley's to help out.
00:42:33What happened?
00:42:36They hired a nanny for, for Willow, so they didn't need me and I found another job.
00:42:43But they don't need me either.
00:42:45Why are you putting yourself through this?
00:42:48Why won't you just stay with us?
00:42:50Honey, I've, I've already caused you enough trouble.
00:42:54Oh, no, no, you haven't.
00:42:56We would be honored to have you live with us.
00:43:09I want you to treat yourself.
00:43:12I mean it.
00:43:14spend as much as much as you want.
00:43:17There's no limit.
00:43:20Lauren, why are you so good to me?
00:43:23I, I, I'm just your adoptive mother.
00:43:28What are you talking about?
00:43:30You're at Brooks now and you belong with your kind.
00:43:37Listen, if you hadn't taken me in back then, I probably would have starved or frozen to death
00:43:43on the streets and you gave everything, everything you had to me and Ashley.
00:43:51You have no idea how much I've missed you.
00:43:55I love you, Ma, always.
00:43:59I love you too, Lauren.
00:44:02Good.
00:44:03I'm glad we agree.
00:44:06Oh, I meant to tell you, next week, I'm taking you to a banquet.
00:44:12A banquet?
00:44:14No, I don't, I don't know about that kind of thing and I, I don't mean to embarrass you.
00:44:22That's impossible because the banquet is for you and if you don't want to stay here, I won't force you.
00:44:30I'm buying you a new house anyway.
00:44:41Lauren, I don't know about this whole house idea.
00:44:45I could just go back to where I'm staying.
00:44:47Ma, it's a gift I'm happy to give.
00:44:50If the roles were reversed, you would do the same.
00:44:54Please accept it.
00:45:01I'm sorry, Ma, I gotta take this call.
00:45:03Don't worry, I have someone waiting to assist you.
00:45:14My manager said Miss Brooke's mother would be coming today.
00:45:17Could this be her?
00:45:18If it is, I have to make a good impression.
00:45:27Good day, Miss, may I help you?
00:45:29I don't really know how to do this.
00:45:32I'd be happy to show you everything on offer.
00:45:34Care to sit, please, this way.
00:45:37Yeah, please, yeah, have a sit, yes, yes.
00:45:41Here's some water.
00:45:45Here's our brochure.
00:45:46All our properties are developed by Brooks Group, so platinum tier quality.
00:46:01Ashley, I am so proud of you.
00:46:06This is the finest collection in the city.
00:46:10After the Brooks Group deal closes, I'll be able to afford the best of the best.
00:46:18Ashley, is that your Aunt Nancy?
00:46:22What is she doing here?
00:46:25I think it's about time I stopped being so nice to her.
00:46:30How much is that one?
00:46:32It's only for 1.5 million.
00:46:361.5 million dollars?
00:46:39Yes, and a great value at that.
00:46:42If you're planning to live with your family, I'd recommend...
00:46:47Augustine model, 7,500 square feet, 6 baths, 6 bedrooms at 18 million dollars.
00:46:53That's far more than I need.
00:46:5618 million? That old hag couldn't afford that much in 18 lifetimes.
00:47:03Uh, excuse me, who are you?
00:47:06Lucy Anderson, one of your top clientele.
00:47:10And that woman.
00:47:12Regrettably, she was our maid, and we had to fire her for misconduct.
00:47:17She's a liar. Don't waste any more time on her.
00:47:20That's right. She's a broke nobody. A grifter, cosplaying affluence.
00:47:25Wait, this isn't Miss Brooke's mother? Shit! I've been wasting my time with her.
00:47:30Nancy, what are you doing?
00:47:32Just leave town and go home already.
00:47:35Ashley, do you really hate me so much?
00:47:38Am I such a disgrace to you?
00:47:41What happened to that sweet little girl I used to know?
00:47:49So what? I'm not good enough to even exist in this city?
00:47:53Ashley, why does she care so much about what you think?
00:47:56It's not like she's your mom or something.
00:48:01I don't know what you want from me.
00:48:03I was just being nice to you because you came all the way from the countryside.
00:48:07That's all.
00:48:09Some people, they just walk into the city and they think they belong in the city.
00:48:14The truth is, you're just a country bumkin, and you'll never be like us.
00:48:23You know what? That's right.
00:48:26I'll never be like you.
00:48:28I scrimped and saved my whole life so my family could have something better.
00:48:35You all think I'm poor,
00:48:38but I'm rich in good memories of my... of Ashley, even if she's forgotten.
00:48:50You think I can't afford a home?
00:48:58That three-bedroom, two-bath model?
00:49:02Uh, Rivera model? Yes.
00:49:04I'll take it. Full payment. Now.
00:49:07Of course.
00:49:09I'll grab the real card and the contract will be right over it, okay?
00:49:15Now, I'm wondering where you found this obviously fake card.
00:49:18Or maybe you stole it.
00:49:19Give it back!
00:49:20No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:21You want it now?
00:49:23You beg me.
00:49:23No, give it.
00:49:25Whatever you're doing, stop it.
00:49:26Okay? But just embarrass yourself further.
00:49:29I know you don't have that kind of money.
00:49:31You do realize that these properties were developed by the Brooks Group?
00:49:35Elite only begins to describe their clientele, and this fake card isn't gonna work.
00:49:42Shall we now add fraud to your list of crimes?
00:49:46I'm sorry, Lauren.
00:49:48Just this once, I want to be selfish to prove myself.
00:50:00of course miss, right away!

01:02:46You think everything about me is cheap, don't you?
01:02:50As a matter of fact, I do.
01:02:53You could be dressed head to toe in Prada and you'd still be cheap underneath.
01:02:58No, no, not cheap.
01:03:00What?
01:03:03Do you even know what kind of an event this is?
01:03:08Stop following me.
01:03:09Go away.
01:03:10Who even is she?
01:03:13Doesn't look like someone Miss Brooks would invite.
01:03:16Who is she?
01:03:17She's just a maid we hired to clean floors and toilets.
01:03:22God knows how she's snuck in here.
01:03:24I am not a maid.
01:03:27Oh, that's right.
01:03:29Silly me, I forgot.
01:03:30We fired you.
01:03:32Now you're just an unemployed beggar that dresses up to make herself feel more important.
01:03:44Enough.
01:03:47I was invited.
01:03:50My Miss Brooks herself.
01:03:52She's my daughter.
01:03:56My adopted daughter.
01:04:01You really are crazy.
01:04:03You're totally delusional.
01:04:08Sorry.
01:04:09You're Miss Brooks's mother.
01:04:13Then I must be her biological mother.
01:04:16Oh, my God.
01:04:17Does that make us sisters?
01:04:21Is she for real?
01:04:23Dude, I know, right?
01:04:24She's nuts.
01:04:25Like someone that poor would even be allowed to adopt anyone.
01:04:29I know, right?
01:04:30I didn't even know Miss Brooks was adopted.
01:04:32That lady's either a liar or a loony.
01:04:36You people need to understand.
01:04:38This woman is dangerous.
01:04:41She's not just vain.
01:04:42She is vicious.
01:04:45She tried to kill my granddaughter.
01:04:56That's not true.
01:05:00It wasn't me.
01:05:09Oh, no.
01:05:11My bracelet.
01:05:13It's gone.
01:05:14It was on my bastion.
01:05:20You have always been a thief and a fraud.
01:05:25Ladies and gentlemen, check your bags and your jewelry.
01:05:30Someone here has got sticky fingers.
01:05:32She's lying.
01:05:34I'm not a thief.
01:05:43Oops.
01:05:45Accident.
01:05:47Let's take a look inside your bag.
01:06:02You can't help yourself, can you?
01:06:05Gaze upon this damnable wretch and curse her!
01:06:11I'm not a thief.
01:06:13I'm not a thief.
01:06:14I'm not a thief.
01:06:15I'm not a thief.
01:06:17Why are you doing this to me?
01:06:19Don't try to play the victim.
01:06:22Everyone here saw it with their own eyes.
01:06:26Ashley, your aunt is the worst.
01:06:28It's not true.
01:06:30I didn't do it.
01:06:32Ashley, you have to believe me.
01:06:35You just came here to ruin Ashley's big moment.
01:06:40Do you really think she's going to defend you now?
01:06:42Mom's right.
01:06:44I swear.
01:06:45If you run things with Miss Brooks and cost me this deal, I will never forgive you.
01:06:49Ashley, do you think I'm a thief too?
01:06:51Stop talking.
01:06:53You are so selfish.
01:06:55Why do you have to come and crash the most important day of my life?
01:06:58Leave me alone.
01:07:00Maybe I should teach you a lesson on behalf of Miss Brooks.
01:07:05I'm sure she'd love to see it.
01:07:09Stephen, hold her down.
01:07:11Stop!
01:07:12Don't do that!
01:07:14You enjoy being a thief so much.
01:07:18I'll give you the thief's mark.
01:07:20I'm just a little grandchild as well.
01:07:23Ashley, please help me!
01:07:31Enough!
01:07:35Enough!
01:07:42Nancy, I'm sorry I'm late.
01:07:44Don't worry, I'm here now, okay?
01:07:46William, I made a mess.
01:07:49It's okay.
01:07:50Who's that?
01:07:51That suit's so expensive.
01:07:53Probably Miss Brooks' guest.
01:07:56Now it all makes sense.
01:07:58I wondered why she was so emboldened today.
01:08:01But she's found herself a sugar daddy.
01:08:04Or should I say a sugar son?
01:08:07Yeah, she's old enough to be his mum.
01:08:10These people are monsters.
01:08:12Nancy's enjoyed so much.
01:08:14It's unforgivable.
01:08:19It's okay.
01:08:20It's okay.
01:08:22It's okay.
01:08:26How dare you hate me.
01:08:33Are you out of your mind?
01:08:39What the fuck, man?
01:08:41You people are deranged.
01:08:43None of you deserve to be here.
01:08:50How dare you?
01:08:52Do you know who I am?
01:08:54Oh, I know exactly who you are.
01:08:58You're the people that have been abusing Nancy this whole time.
01:09:02So what?
01:09:04People like her?
01:09:05She's a nobody.
01:09:07Pathetic.
01:09:07People like her deserve to be stepped on.
01:09:10That's what they're there for.
01:09:13Miss Empire, we do guests of Miss Bruce.
01:09:15You don't want to fuck with us.
01:09:16Yeah, I don't care who you are or what your relationship is with my...
01:09:21With her.
01:09:22I suggest you leave.
01:09:24Well, since none of you have any remorse, we won't go easy on you.
01:09:28You're threatening us.
01:09:30Do you know the power of the Brooks family?
01:09:33We are Miss Brooks' guest of honor.
01:09:39Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks has finalized the project agreement.
01:09:43Here's your contract.
01:09:44It just needs your signature.
01:09:45See?
01:09:47I warned you.
01:09:48I told you to leave.
01:09:49And now you're fucked.
01:09:53Sorry, Mom.
01:09:54But this contract means everything to me.
01:09:59Cancel the deal.
01:10:01And cut ties with the entire family.
01:10:04Immediately.
01:10:07Uh, sir.
01:10:08This wasn't Miss Brooks' directive.
01:10:10I can't override her decision.
01:10:13I'm sorry.
01:10:14What happened?
01:10:16Don't have quite the pull you thought you had?
01:10:19Welcome to reality, boy.
01:10:23We already understand.
01:10:24No one fucks with us, got it?
01:10:30Mrs. Anderson, Miss Brooks made an inspired choice in you.
01:10:34You're truly impressive.
01:10:36I'm still so young.
01:10:44I think you owe me an apology.
01:10:46I owe me an apology.
01:10:52Don't touch me.
01:10:53Don't touch you.
01:10:54Or what?
01:11:03Nancy!
01:11:06Nancy!
01:11:07Nancy!
01:11:08Nancy!
01:11:08Nancy!
01:11:08Nancy!
01:11:12Nancy!
01:11:13Nancy!
01:11:17Nancy!
01:11:32Who did this?
01:11:45You.
01:11:46You're the guest I invited.
01:11:48You're Ashley.
01:11:50You're that woman in the sales office.
01:11:53Are you stalking us too?
01:11:54You see, I told you.
01:11:56These three, they're in it together.
01:12:00The washed up old hag, the wild little slut and that disgusting gimp.
01:12:04All here to stir up trouble.
01:12:07Uh-oh.
01:12:08That's Lauren Brooks.
01:12:10My God.
01:12:11And you heard what that woman just called her?
01:12:13I don't think they actually know Miss Brooks.
01:12:18What is wrong with you people?
01:12:21They're all fake.
01:12:23Call the police, Stephen.
01:12:34How dare you publicly humiliate Miss Brooks.
01:12:38Miss Brooks?
01:12:42Ashley Morgan?
01:12:44Yeah, that's me.
01:12:47I can't believe it.
01:12:48You really don't recognize me?
01:12:53I don't know.
01:12:54Look at me.
01:12:55You stand here mocking her, humiliating her, shoving her around in public, and yet you feel nothing.
01:13:06I know you really want this contract, Ashley, but I don't want to give it to you anymore.
01:13:12No, you can't do that, Miss Brooks.
01:13:15Wait, I...
01:13:17I am so stupid.
01:13:20I mean, Miss Brooks, of course they recognize you.
01:13:22I mean, everyone knows your family.
01:13:25Enough!
01:13:26Miss Brooks, we were wrong.
01:13:28We see that now.
01:13:30Please have some mercy.
01:13:31We didn't mean any harm.
01:13:33Let us make it up to you, all right?
01:13:38Don't play innocent with me.
01:13:41I heard every word you said to Nancy.
01:13:44And I'm sure you all said and did worse when you were alone with her.
01:13:48Miss Brooks, I'm sorry.
01:13:49I can see we got off on the wrong foot.
01:13:51Look, we know we messed up, but the project, that's business, right?
01:13:56Forget the contract.
01:13:58Forget business.
01:14:00What about family?
01:14:02Why are you saying this to me?
01:14:04I'll tell you.
01:14:06But first, answer me this.
01:14:11Who is she?
01:14:17Who is that woman?
01:14:21Say it, Ashley Morgan.
01:14:24Right here, in front of everyone.
01:14:28Tell everyone who this woman really is.
01:14:34Say it, Ashley.
01:14:36Who is she?
01:14:41Miss Brooks, I don't know what you're talking about, but it should have nothing to do with
01:14:50our contract.
01:14:51We're professionals.
01:14:56I, I, I can't handle this anymore.
01:15:00I shouldn't be here.
01:15:01I wasn't made for this big city life.
01:15:06I've never been anything but worthless.
01:15:09Miss Brooks, you can't let them treat you like this.
01:15:12You are not what they say.
01:15:15You're the most precious person I've ever known.
01:15:19Miss Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:15:21Don't allow her to ruin the evening.
01:15:25Miss Brooks, please just let her leave.
01:15:26Our evening?
01:15:27Is that all you care about?
01:15:29The contract?
01:15:30Money?
01:15:31Miss Brooks, I'm sorry, but I...
01:15:34Ashley, you kicked Nancy out of your wedding.
01:15:38You humiliated her while buying a house.
01:15:42And now you just stand here watching as your mother-in-law bullies and abuses her.
01:15:48Not even a stranger deserves to be treated like this.
01:15:52But she's not a stranger, is she?
01:15:56Tell me.
01:15:58Who took care of you when you were sick?
01:16:01Who stayed up with you when you had a nightmare?
01:16:06Who gave up everything?
01:16:09Everything to give you a better life?
01:16:14She's not some random woman.
01:16:16She's not even your aunt.
01:16:19She's the reason you exist.
01:16:21So why is it so hard to admit that she is your mother?
01:16:29She's Mrs. Anderson's mother?
01:16:32Her mother was right there and she refused to acknowledge her?
01:16:36And she even humiliated her in public.
01:16:40How terrible.
01:16:41How do you know that?
01:16:49Oh, my God.
01:16:56You're Lauren.
01:16:59She's your mother, Ashley?
01:17:01You told me that she was traveling the world.
01:17:04That she wasn't even in the country.
01:17:07Ashley, you told me that she was just a distant aunt.
01:17:11Ashley, you lied to us?
01:17:13Your mother is just a dirty old woman?
01:17:16Ashley, this woman raised you.
01:17:20Gave her all for you.
01:17:23Provided a home full of love.
01:17:27And you denied her like she was nothing.
01:17:32Ungrateful brat.
01:17:34If she would betray her mother like that, how could anyone ever trust her?
01:17:39Honestly, I feel bad for that poor woman.
01:17:42All right.
01:17:43You all asked for this.
01:17:59I'm sorry.
01:18:02I'm sorry.
01:18:04I'm so sorry.
01:18:06I literally am.
01:18:08Please, please give me another chance.
01:18:11Please, we were wrong.
01:18:13We were very wrong.
01:18:16We were decent people.
01:18:17Really?
01:18:18I promise.
01:18:19From now on, I'm going to treat Nancy with the most utter respect.
01:18:25I'm not the one you should be kneeling to.
01:18:41Oops.
01:18:43Accidents.
01:18:43Stephen!
01:18:48Now!
01:18:51Leave me out of this.
01:18:53Stephen!
01:18:54Stephen!
01:18:55I didn't ask for this.
01:18:57It didn't do anything.
01:18:58Stephen!
01:19:00But you did ask for this.
01:19:03You son of a bitch.
01:19:05Fuck!
01:19:17Mom!
01:19:19Mom!
01:19:22Mommy!
01:19:22I...
01:19:23I know I fucked up.
01:19:26I...
01:19:27I just got caught up in all of this.
01:19:30It's been so hard.
01:19:34It's been so hard.
01:19:35I was blind.
01:19:36I see that now.
01:19:38I was just awful.
01:19:41It could change for you.
01:19:43And for Willow.
01:19:45Don't forget your granddaughter.
01:19:48Mother.
01:19:50I didn't know it was yours.
01:19:53I promise.
01:19:54From now on, I'll treat you.
01:19:56I'll treat you like my own mother.
01:19:59Let's see.
01:20:00Oh.
01:20:02What a mild ride.
01:20:06You know what it's like for women of our age.
01:20:09We have to keep up appearances.
01:20:12Come on.
01:20:13Let's not dwell in the past.
01:20:15Let's be friends, dear.
01:20:20Whatever you just say, Mom.
01:20:22I'm with you.
01:20:23I'm with you.
01:20:24I'm with you.
01:20:50Ashley, I can see I've been a source of shame for you.
01:20:54you. That's a hard thing for a mother to accept. Yes, I come from the countryside. And yes,
01:21:16I've led a humble life, which some might consider poor. Since I've come to town,
01:21:26I've been harassed, mistreated, lied to, and lied about.
01:21:40Ashley, I can see how I've embarrassed you. I'm not the kind of mother you want. She is.
01:21:47I've made peace with that. And I'll be okay, really. But from now on,
01:21:59you are not my daughter.
01:22:07No. Mom, please don't do that. No. Mom, please don't do that. Please, please wait.
01:22:23Ashley Anderson and the entire Anderson family are blacklisted from Brooks Group's projects.
01:22:30I'll personally ensure every one of our partners know no one works with you ever again. Furthermore,
01:22:39I will have my lawyer investigate all that you did to my mother,
01:22:43and you will be held accountable to the full extent of the law.
01:23:01No. This can't be real. We're finished. We're ruined. Stupid girl. This is all your fault.
01:23:12Destroy the family. I will kill you.
01:23:24Mom. Let's go home.
01:23:32No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

01:24:45Of course not. My mom's on vacation in Europe.
01:24:48No, I'm not Willow. I am right here.
01:24:51You're mistaken, ma'am. I've never seen you before in my life.
01:24:54Yeah, let's go in this case. Let's go to the coffee shop. Just have some bread.
01:25:03Madam, isn't that your daughter Miss Anderson? Would you like to go say hello?
