Short filmTranscript
00:00:15My name is Irene Burton. The man before me is Kaken Smith, my lover for three years, and the president
00:00:20of Smith Group.
00:00:24Tomorrow is my birthday. Does he remember?
00:00:37Irene, come to my place tomorrow.
00:00:44Paulina's coming tomorrow. She's not well. Cook something healthy for her.
00:00:47Paulina Moore, his true love. She just got back from overseas with her PhD.
00:00:52When will you end our relationship?
00:00:55You think you can leave me? Would your family agree?
00:00:58I'm just a substitute. Three years ago, my brother Sean sold to me him to clear gambling debts.
00:01:03That night, he whispered Paulina's name the whole time, but I still fell for him.
00:01:09Only an educated woman like Paulina deserves Kaden.
00:01:14Paulina, you're the only one in my heart.
00:01:19I'll go bathroom.
00:01:33I couldn't take it anymore. This was my only escape.
00:01:39Henry Shaw, a pilot. The man who wanted to marry me.
00:01:43The call fails. I leave a voicemail.
00:01:46Mr. Shaw, does that contractual marriage deal still work?
00:01:51I'm interested now.
00:01:56The rain is pouring, and I walk back to my apartment.
00:02:03No response from Henry.
00:02:05He must not be planning to agree, I guess.
00:02:15Irene, you ungrateful girl.
00:02:19Where's your money?
00:02:21Hand it all over!
00:02:23Tobias! How could it-
00:02:24Why is this drunken lunaturk here again?
00:02:26Your mother wouldn't have died in that crash if it wasn't for saving you!
00:02:31He raises his hand to slap me.
00:02:34I squeeze my eyes shut.
00:02:36Please, somebody help me.
00:02:40The pain never comes.
00:02:42Instead, an agonized howl fills my ears.
00:02:45I open my eyes.
00:02:46A tall man has him by the throat.
00:02:49Henry?
00:02:51How is he here?
00:02:53You messed with the wrong person.
00:02:56Stay out of my sight.
00:02:58That face.
00:03:00Cold, sharp, devastatingly handsome.
00:03:03Are you hurt?
00:03:17Henry chases my father away and follows me to my apartment.
00:03:21He's soaked and takes off his shirt.
00:03:24Do you really want to marry me?
00:03:30He steps closer and corners me against the wall.
00:03:33I clench my draw and nod.
00:03:35It's my only way out from Kanan.
00:03:40Three years ago,
00:03:42Kanan dined with Henry to break into aviation.
00:03:45Kanan looked down on him.
00:03:54Henry asked for my number.
00:03:55Later I learned we were betrothed as children.
00:04:06After we marry,
00:04:07you'll play an affectionate wife in front of my mother.
00:04:10She's not well.
00:04:11She can't know the truth.
00:04:15He'll pay me $200,000 a month.
00:04:18I don't need the money.
00:04:20I'll find a job.
00:04:22Whatever you make is yours.
00:04:23What I give you is separate.
00:04:25I don't want your money because I want to keep my dignity.
00:04:28I don't want to feel like you're keeping me.
00:04:31I don't want to feel like you're keeping me.
00:04:35Contract aside,
00:04:37you'll be my wife.
00:04:43I sign it.
00:04:46You have three days to settle your affairs.
00:04:50With a single stroke of the pen,
00:04:52my old life is over.
00:05:01Next day,
00:05:02I pack Kayden's gifts.
00:05:03Henry's secretary,
00:05:04Callie arrives.
00:05:11Let's get you real stuff.
00:05:13She drags me to the mall.
00:05:21I freeze the moment I step inside.
00:05:26Kayden and Paulina.
00:05:28She's in a wedding dress.
00:05:30He's right beside him.
00:05:36Sure enough,
00:05:37he only has Paulina in his heart.
00:05:39He's only playing with me.
00:05:41I'm such a fool,
00:05:43aching for him.
00:05:44This shop is nice.
00:05:45I'll pick out a few pieces for you
00:05:46and you can wander around too.
00:05:49Before I can hide,
00:05:50two women spot me.
00:05:52Medallin and Zoe,
00:05:53my classmates from med school.
00:05:56I used to outperform them,
00:05:58and they've held a grudge against me ever since.
00:06:01Hey,
00:06:01look who it is.
00:06:02Irene.
00:06:04Can't believe we'd run into you
00:06:05in a place like this.
00:06:06Do you know how much
00:06:07the cheapest wedding dress here costs?
00:06:09Over a hundred grand.
00:06:13Can you even afford that?
00:06:19Irene,
00:06:20did you come here out of vanity?
00:06:27I lift my head
00:06:28and look him in the eye.
00:06:29My salary won't cover it.
00:06:32But my rich fiancΓ©e can.
00:06:37Paulina approaches me.
00:06:39My words makes Kayden's face darken.
00:06:43Let me help you choose a wedding dress.
00:06:45No need.
00:06:47Callie pulls me into a fitting room
00:06:49and brings out a dress
00:06:50tailored to my measurements.
00:06:56I put it on and walk out.
00:06:58Everyone freezes.
00:07:00Especially Kayden.
00:07:01His eyes are locked on me.
00:07:03He can't look away.
00:07:04Where's the shop owner?
00:07:05I never imagined a counterfeit dress
00:07:07could end up in a place like this.
00:07:09This is Vincent Gibson Couture.
00:07:12Miss Burton's fiancΓ©e ordered it.
00:07:14I'm stunned.
00:07:15Did Henry really arrange this in advance?
00:07:19Fine.
00:07:20You've lost me as a major client.
00:07:26Come on, Kayden.
00:07:27Let's go.
00:07:28Paulina drags Kayden away.
00:07:30A tall figure walks in.
00:07:36It's Henry.
00:07:37He walks straight toward me,
00:07:39stops behind me,
00:07:40and looks at me through the mirror.
00:07:47It looks good on you.
00:07:52I try to cover my breast.
00:07:54My skin tingled where his lips touched.
00:07:57Show it.
00:07:57I like it.
00:07:58He kisses my cheek,
00:07:59a warmth spreading through me
00:08:01that is both terrifying and thrilling.
00:08:08Henry puts an emerald necklace around my neck.
00:08:11It's been passed down in my family for generations.
00:08:16He takes me to meet his mother, Abby,
00:08:19who was an old friend of my mother's,
00:08:22and I've never met her before.
00:08:27Sorry, sir.
00:08:28The lady said she has other matters and has already left.
00:08:31Forever, it was stated that Miss Irene must spend the night in young master Henry's room.
00:08:36I don't understand why Abby did this.
00:08:39Why, in a vast villa,
00:08:40she insisted I spend the night in Henry's room,
00:08:42and yet he didn't say a word.
00:08:45Henry comes out in a towel.
00:08:47I grip the blanket nervously.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Where's Paulina's food?
00:09:00What are you doing?
00:09:03If you're curious what she's doing,
00:09:06keep listening.
00:09:08Irene, where are you?
00:09:12Are you crazy to be with a man?
00:09:14You stinking bitch!
00:09:16Caden's furious shout comes through,
00:09:18then the line goes dead.
00:09:23Getting back at your ex turns you on?
00:09:25His words left me at a loss for words.
00:09:28What had just happened seemed to be nothing more than an illusion.
00:09:32Your body responded to my touch.
00:09:35Is that because getting revenge on Caden turned you on?
00:09:49Tonight, I tell myself not to get my hopes up about Henry.
00:09:53Later on, I learned Paulina kissed Caden that night,
00:09:56but he pushed her away.
00:09:59Because the person on his mind was me.
00:10:04Irene says she's getting married.
00:10:06A rich fiancΓ©?
00:10:08She's just jealous of Miss Moore and puts on an act.
00:10:12When she crawls back to apologize,
00:10:15I'll teach her a lesson in bed.
00:10:17The next day,
00:10:18I go back to my apartment to pack up the last of my things.
00:10:25Sean shows up.
00:10:26He thinks Caden has arranged a new place for me.
00:10:30Mr. Smith is really good to you.
00:10:33Dad burged in here and caused a scene.
00:10:36Staying here isn't safe anymore.
00:10:39How did you know Dad came here?
00:10:41He panics.
00:10:43I realize he gave my address to our father.
00:10:45The betrayal was so absolute,
00:10:47it left me numb.
00:10:48He knew what our father would do to me.
00:10:50And he did it anyway.
00:10:52I grab my belongings and walk out without looking back.
00:11:13Where is Henry?
00:11:24The table is full of my mother's favorite treats.
00:11:28Your mom was tough and brilliant.
00:11:31Your cold-hearted family doesn't deserve her.
00:11:36She was so ahead of her time.
00:11:39Your health.
00:11:42I'm fine.
00:11:44The sick act is to push Henry to get me a daughter-in-law.
00:11:48You are the daughter-in-law he has got for me.
00:11:53This entire marriage was built on a lie to appease his mother.
00:12:02Abby, let's get you to bed.
00:12:05Let's get you to bed.
00:12:12Have you told Irene that you're the chubby kid she saved on the rooftop?
00:12:38This person knows everything about your mother.
00:13:08I didn't expect
00:13:11to run into Canaan and Paulina again.
00:13:21A nutritionist like you
00:13:23wants to get on Dr. Gomez's team?
00:13:26I'm here to ask about my mother.
00:13:29Your mother's been dead for years.
00:13:31She was just a worthless housewife.
00:13:34Dr. Gomez wouldn't know
00:13:35someone like her.
00:13:43He could say anything about me,
00:13:45but not my mother.
00:13:49Caden, shut up!
00:13:57Who's standing at my door
00:13:59insulting women?
00:14:00What family could function without what wives
00:14:02and mothers bring?
00:14:05Don't you have a mother?
00:14:23Your mother was a genius in medicine.
00:14:27But her work touched national security.
00:14:30I can't say more.
00:14:42Do you want to study medicine?
00:14:45Yes!
00:14:46I took your online test.
00:14:48Waiting for results.
00:14:52Results come out today.
00:14:54You can check them in the hall
00:14:55on the second floor.
00:15:24Irene?
00:15:26You're not seriously thinking
00:15:28about getting on Dr. Gomez's team,
00:15:30are you?
00:15:30She didn't even finish
00:15:31her bachelor's degree.
00:15:32This is a joke.
00:15:37Marvin, your mom is dead
00:15:39because of incompetent doctors.
00:15:40The kind who get hired
00:15:42through connections.
00:15:43Like her.
00:15:44People like you make me sick.
00:15:47I never in round effort
00:15:48as I you don't give her back to an...
00:16:11I think you can leave me?
00:16:16I don't know.
00:16:18I don't know.
00:16:20I don't know.
00:16:40Final, final. First place.
00:16:50Irene Burton.
00:16:59You make me sick.
00:17:06How could someone who didn't even finish college get first place? She cheated. Let's go through
00:17:12her exam papers together.
00:17:33Irene, listen. You'd better admit cheating right away.
00:17:45This plan, it hasn't even been published in the latest medical journals.
00:17:55With your mediocre abilities, how did you manage second place?
00:18:18You, how dare you say that?
00:18:26Do you want me to prove it? Or just admit you're the real cheater?
00:18:42Irene, show them what you've really got.
00:19:06A perfect solution. This is truly astonishing.
00:19:13Irene, welcome to my team.
00:19:16Henry stands a short distance away, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
00:19:25Did you come here for the job? Or for Caden?
00:19:30I...
00:19:38I chase after him.
00:19:48He thinks I came for Caden?
00:19:53I have a friend who might be able to help.
00:19:57Mr. Lloyd, could you introduce me to Ace?
00:20:00Ace doesn't do business with trash.
00:20:03Who are you calling trash?
00:20:10We need to split into two cars. How do you want to do it?
00:20:23Mr. Shaw, are you trying to get rejected by Irene for a second time?
00:20:48Irene, we're going the same way. Come with us.
00:20:51Let's go, Sip.
00:20:56You can choose the kids with trash,
00:21:20You can choose your kids with trash.
00:21:21You can choose the parents,
00:21:21I'm going to study medicine.
00:21:25You're not, Miss Moore. You don't have what it takes.
00:21:27I'm going to study medicine.
00:22:26I'm going to study medicine.
00:22:48I'm going to study medicine.
00:22:55The car plunges off the cliff.
00:23:25I'm going to study medicine.
00:23:28Don't be afraid.
00:23:30It's me.
00:23:34I'm going to study medicine.
00:23:36I'm going to study medicine.
00:24:09I'm going to study medicine.
00:24:17I'm going to study medicine.
00:24:41I'm going to study medicine.
00:24:55Yes, that's my wife.
00:24:58Take good care of her.
00:25:04Irene, what do you go?
00:25:06Caden, what do you talk about is your life?
00:25:08Just stop here.
00:25:10Maybe as you go, fur lean up your Caden.
00:25:13Why does she get to go in?
00:25:17Wait, wait.
00:25:18Wait, wait.
00:25:19Wait, wait, wait.
00:25:20Let's conclude.
00:25:37What's with this bite, Mark?
00:25:40She bit me.
00:25:42Look, you two can have all the fun you want behind closed doors.
00:25:46Just show a little restraint, okay?
00:25:59Let me help you apply the ointment.
00:26:26The doctor advised against having sex recently.
00:26:29He stops and stares at me.
00:26:31His gaze is intense.
00:26:33Is that why you're rejecting me?
00:26:39Thanks for the medical advice, Dr. Burton.
00:27:01For days, Henry won't let me leave the house.
00:27:04Thanks for theΠΈΠ½ΠΎΠ²γγies.
00:27:13Bill.
00:27:24Whoever bancop esp pure.
00:27:24Go on, go.
00:27:25All right.
00:27:27Go on.
00:27:28Go on, go on.
00:27:29Go on.
00:27:30Go on.
00:27:31Go, go on.
00:27:32Go on, go.
00:27:33Go on.
00:27:33Go on.
00:27:34Go on, go.
00:27:34Go on.
00:28:04I didn't say you could leave.
00:28:07I've already resigned from Smith Group.
00:28:09You have no authority over me.
00:28:19Paulina's on leave.
00:28:21You finish these for her.
00:28:27I was injured in that car accident, too.
00:28:30Kaylin left me in the car to die.
00:28:31Why? Why don't you name in absolutely Winston Commedia for Porus?
00:28:36Why don't you ask him about that?
00:28:42Nonsense!
00:28:43There was no car accident!
00:28:54I'll call the police.
00:29:14Caden Smith, we've retrieved the traffic surveillance footage.
00:29:26Please cooperate with the investigation.
00:29:53I'll call the police.
00:29:57Caden is fined $300,000.
00:30:01You're standing here just fine!
00:30:23I'll go.
00:30:46It's so hot.
00:30:55I see him.
00:30:59Calm, composed, and resolute will.
00:31:02He is so strong.
00:31:04Everyone, please remain calm and cooperate with the medical staff.
00:31:10He seems a little different.
00:31:12Calm down, calm down.
00:31:13Don't let him notice me.
00:31:19He's here.
00:31:20I can keep going.
00:31:25Handsome captain.
00:31:26Calm judgment.
00:31:42You're quite the actress.
00:31:45First seducing Caden.
00:31:47Now playing model worker here.
00:31:49The blood sample I just took was from the source of infection.
00:31:52You came in without preventative medication?
00:32:01Iron!
00:32:03You're just being skilled?
00:32:05I know we've no way for you.
00:32:06I know you bought it.
00:32:07I guess it would just nurse done you.
00:32:08The collection tubes are sealed.
00:32:11Where exactly did you earn that PhD?
00:32:26I've been locked up here all day!
00:32:28What the hell are you people doing?
00:32:37I'm the captain of this flight, Henry Shaw.
00:32:40If you have any complaints, take them up with me.
00:32:45From start to finish, he doesn't look at me once.
00:32:51Irene, let me take you to him.
00:33:04Is me?
00:33:05It's from my graduation ceremony three years ago.
00:33:14I'm the captain of this flight.
00:33:24I'm sorry.
00:33:26I snuck off to work.
00:33:28We're both saving lives.
00:33:30Why would I be angry about that?
00:33:36Then why have you been ignoring me?
00:33:42I thought you came here for Caden.
00:33:46You gave up medicine for him.
00:33:52I thought you came back for him, too.
00:33:59It was impulsive,
00:34:02desperate,
00:34:03and more real than anything I had ever felt.
00:34:10Is Irene in there?
00:34:11I want to see who she's seducing this time.
00:34:14Dr. Burton is our captain's fiancΓ©.
00:34:16You want to interrupt them?
00:34:19Impossible!
00:34:20She's a kept woman!
00:34:32I'm Irene's fiancΓ©.
00:34:34I will never stand in the way of her ambitions.
00:34:42Your new guy is much better than the last one.
00:34:47I'm Irene's fiancΓ©.
00:35:00It's not a contagious disease.
00:35:02It's snake venom.
00:35:08I want to show some people what a wonderful fiancΓ© I've got.
00:35:33What can this poor pilot give you if your mother were still alive?
00:35:54I put up with you because I was stupid.
00:35:57Now you're nothing to me.
00:35:59I'm married.
00:36:01From now on, we're strangers.
00:36:04Married?
00:36:05To this pilot?
00:36:14Canaan, unlock it.
00:36:16This
00:36:18isn't my car.
00:36:34What a joke.
00:36:50The agreement with Irene will end soon.
00:36:55Until then, don't cause trouble for me.
00:36:58He wants to end the contract early.
00:37:00All that tenderness, all those kisses.
00:37:05I was a fool to have believed any of it was real.
00:37:18I'll sleep in the guest room.
00:37:24What did I do wrong?
00:37:32Help me put this on.
00:37:35Help me put this on.
00:37:37Help me put this on.
00:37:41Help me put this on.
00:37:41Not bad.
00:37:54I don't love you anymore.
00:37:56Irene's been off lately.
00:37:58It's because Caden keeps bothering her.
00:38:01She hasn't let go yet.
00:38:05Help me put it on.
00:38:07Help me put it on.
00:38:07Help me put it on.
00:38:07Help me put it on.
00:38:23When exactly will Ace see me?
00:38:36A broke pilot like you dares to come here?
00:38:41Ace doesn't do business with trash.
00:38:55Pretending to be something it's not?
00:39:00Ace is definitely not like that!
00:39:32Kaelin didn't come?
00:39:33We broke up long ago.
00:39:36This is Sabrina, my girlfriend.
00:39:39She's family now!
00:39:44That necklace is pretty.
00:39:47Why don't you give it to me?
00:39:51No.
00:39:52It means a lot to me.
00:39:57You used to do whatever I said.
00:39:59It's just some damn necklace.
00:40:00Give it to her!
00:40:01I said no.
00:40:04I said no.
00:40:05I said no.
00:40:36The End
00:40:55I'm Irene's husband. Anyone who lays a finger on her is going to regret it.
00:41:09Henry! This is a minder standing! Come on, boys! Apologize to my brother-in-law!
00:41:15What are your tension? Brother-in-law, he...
00:41:18Shut up!
00:41:20Waiter! Bring an 82 LaFont! My treat for my brother-in-law!
00:41:28Screaming Eagle.
00:41:29What the hell is that? Never heard of it. Who are you trying to fool?
00:41:33That's our most expensive wine. The bachelor party next door paid triple for it.
00:41:37Five times. Bring it back.
00:41:40Are you insane?!
00:41:46What did I know, I know?
00:41:48I want to try it, too.
00:41:57You?
00:41:58Enough? Or do you want more?
00:42:10We didn't order any of that.
00:42:14My fiancΓ© and I only had one juice. This covers our share.
00:42:21Stop right there!
00:42:23You always paid before! You're supposed to support me!
00:42:27I was stupid before, letting you drain me dry.
00:42:30From today on, I won't do that.
00:42:33And the millions you owe me? Don't forget to pay me back.
00:42:38You told me you were loaded!
00:42:41Sabrina. She's lying. Let me explain!
00:42:45Get lost, loser!
00:43:10Let go of me!
00:43:12I'll tell Henry. You were a kept woman for three years.
00:43:16Let's see if he still marries you.
00:43:18Let's what can fuck to do it!
00:43:30You wouldn't dare!
00:43:31I'm your brother-in-law!
00:43:33Irene!
00:43:35Tell him to let me go!
00:43:37Take him to the police station.
00:43:44Henry!
00:43:45Henry!
00:43:47Help!
00:43:48Somebody help me!
00:43:52My family is so embarrassing.
00:43:55Those people aren't your family.
00:44:01Irene.
00:44:04I'll be your family.
00:44:19Henry!
00:44:33I'll be your family!
00:44:43Oh, isn't this the chick who used to cling to Kayden?
00:44:49Someone actually wants her?
00:44:59Are you insane?
00:45:01Shut up.
00:45:08See?
00:45:09I never read a single message you sent.
00:45:20Thank you for inviting me to a meal.
00:45:23You brought this broke pilot here, just to provoke me, didn't you?
00:45:28Well done, it worked.
00:45:34I won't marry Paulina.
00:45:36I'll marry you.
00:45:38Come on.
00:45:39You are vain, arrogant, pitiful.
00:45:42What about you is worth my affection?
00:45:45What did you say?
00:45:46I dare you say that again!
00:45:58You hit me?
00:46:00I'll call the cops.
00:46:01You're a pilot.
00:46:03And a criminal record will get you fired.
00:46:18Don't you dare hit him!
00:46:19You two are crazy!
00:46:22If you truly love him, take him away.
00:46:24Don't let him embarrass himself any further in front of all these people.
00:46:38Irin, let's go home.
00:46:46Back in that room.
00:46:47You handled it well.
00:46:51I thought you'd think I was too harsh.
00:47:04Henry, that car behind us.
00:47:09Can you lose them?
00:47:12I don't know.
00:47:42Henry, you got married. Why haven't you brought your wife to see me?
00:47:48The Rogers house is not my home.
00:47:52I will never bring Irene to that filthy twisted place. Never.
00:48:02Shit!
00:48:08Henry!
00:48:08Henry!
00:48:25How can I protect Irene?
00:48:31I don't know what he's been through.
00:48:35But I can feel it. He's fighting to hold something down.
00:48:48Don't leave me, Irene. I love you.

01:04:39Are you insane?
01:04:41That's not what I want.
01:04:46All I want is for her to really accept me.
01:04:54If you like her, just tell her the truth.
01:04:58Why do you keep her in the dark like this?
01:05:07I can't.
01:05:16Every time I look into her eyes, I'm afraid telling her the truth will push her even further away.
01:05:28I text Frasier, I want to thank Ace in person.
01:05:35Frasier replies instantly,
01:05:37Tonight, 7 p.m., Rosewood Steakhouse.
01:05:40Ace will meet you.
01:05:43The whole place is reserved.
01:05:45A violinist plays my favorite song.
01:05:49The walls are covered with posters from my favorite movies.
01:05:53Every detail is perfect.
01:06:10Henry?
01:06:11Henry?
01:06:11Didn't you want to meet Ace?
01:06:18So, it really is you?
01:06:20Three years ago, I proposed to you as Ace.
01:06:23You refused.
01:06:24This time, I'm asking again as Henry.
01:06:31No contract.
01:06:32Irene Burton, will you marry me?
01:06:34I'm sorry.
01:06:40No.
01:06:42No extreme.
01:06:43No.
01:07:04Henry slides the ring onto my finger, then stands up and kisses me.
01:07:21Who arranged all this?
01:07:26Me.
01:07:27Got a problem?
01:07:29A broke pilot like you can afford to book a place like this?
01:07:34Who told you I'm just a pilot?
01:07:38Henry slap a black business card down on the table.
01:07:40Only one word is on it.
01:07:43Ace.
01:07:45Impossible.
01:07:46I've been desperate to meet Ace for so long.
01:07:48How could it be you?
01:07:51That's why I told you from the start.
01:07:54Ace doesn't do business with trash.
01:07:57As Caden is dragged out by security, he looks back and sees me cugging Henry tight.
01:08:04In that moment, I feel a chapter of my life finally, truly closing.
01:08:24Who told you I'm putting on an act?
01:08:26What's wrong with me hugging my own fiance?
01:08:35Finally!
01:08:36Do you know how long I've been playing messenger?
01:08:39Shut up.
01:08:44After the celebration, Henry takes me home.
01:09:00Irene, this time it's not a contract.
01:09:04I knew it.
01:09:09I don't care who you are, Henry or Ace.
01:09:15As long as it's you, I'll marry you.
01:09:19All lies and secrets no longer matter.
01:09:22Only the man before me counts.
01:09:26His hand tightens around mine.
01:09:29The way he looks at me is so gentle.
01:09:32It melts me right there.
01:09:37I know.
01:09:39It's time to be hard.
01:09:40I am so afraid.
01:09:41I am.
01:09:46I'm so afraid.
01:09:50It's time to become sad.
01:09:53I'll be right back.
01:09:54I know, you're okay.
01:09:55It's time to be there.
01:09:56It's time to be there.
01:09:56It's time to be there.
01:09:57Yeah.
01:10:00I know.

01:25:03How come it's been eight hours and the baby hasn't been born yet, Ed?
