00:00:00Just because he saw a woman in a cleaning uniform, this snobbish man dared to block her from entering their
00:00:07class reunion.
00:00:08But he didn't know that the janitor standing in front of him was the mysterious superstar, Golden Queen.
00:00:14A woman, even the governor treated with respect.
00:00:18It all started when the woman changed into that uniform to escape her fans.
00:00:23Her name is Ruth.
00:00:25To make it to her high school reunion on time and see her best friend Mona,
00:00:28she cleverly put on a janitor's outfit and shook off her crazed fans.
00:00:33But at the door, she was stopped by her best friend's snobbish fiancé, Barry.
00:00:38Barry took one look at her uniform and filled his face with contempt.
00:00:42He sneered that a cleaning lady had no right to be friends with Mona, who was about to marry into
00:00:48wealth and status.
00:00:50Just as Barry was about to have Ruth thrown out, her best friend Mona showed up.
00:00:55By then, Mona's fiancé and his mother teamed up to humiliate Ruth right in front of her.
00:01:02Mona was so angry, she called off the engagement on this spot, which made Barry back down for the moment.
00:01:08Barry had gone to great lengths to invite Governor Jonathan to the reunion, hoping to climb the social ladder.
00:01:14Then his assistant called to say the governor couldn't make it.
00:01:18Barry's face went pale.
00:01:19Ruth made a quick phone call.
00:01:21Three seconds later, Barry's phone rang.
00:01:23The governor's assistant respectfully informed him that the governor would be there shortly.
00:01:28Barry was stunned, but still thought it was just a coincidence.
00:01:31He warned Ruth that even if she got in, she had to stay far away from the governor to avoid
00:01:36embarrassing everyone.
00:01:37What he didn't know was that Governor Jonathan owed his election to the Golden Queen.
00:01:41And the Golden Queen was Ruth.
00:01:43Inside the venue, another clueless classmate mistook Ruth for a waitress and ordered her around to pour drinks.
00:01:50Facing one humiliation after another, Ruth had finally had enough.
00:01:54Now, how would she reveal her true identity and make these snubs regret looking down on her?
00:01:59Make us small, but we would make the rise of it all.
00:02:05Where everything they couldn't see.
00:02:09Now they're watching you and me.
00:02:13All the dreams we held onto are finally breaking through.
00:02:22Go Queen!
00:02:24Go Queen!
00:02:26Go Queen!
00:02:27Encore in two.
00:02:28Not today.
00:02:29I have my high school reunion, remember?
00:02:31But.
00:02:33I'm finally going to see my best friend.
00:02:41Wait, the exit's swollen with fans.
00:02:42Your identity.
00:02:49Hmm, I have an idea.
00:02:51No, hold up.
00:02:54Hey, back up.
00:02:54I have an idea.
00:02:56I have an idea.
00:02:56I have an idea.
00:02:57I have an idea.
00:02:57It's not her.
00:02:57It's not her.
00:02:58Where is she?
00:02:59Go Queen!
00:03:12Hey!
00:03:14Go on, get back inside and make sure it's spotless.
00:03:16Oh no, I forgot to bring my bag with my dress.
00:03:20Ruth?
00:03:22Ruth Davenport?
00:03:24Barry, not you.
00:03:26Hi, Barry.
00:03:26Wow, you became a cleaner.
00:03:30How sad.
00:03:32Yeah, it's great to see you too.
00:03:34Bye.
00:03:34Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:35Hey, hey.
00:03:37You are not going in there.
00:03:39So just walk away with what little dignity you have left.
00:03:43As far as I know, this is our class reunion, which means I have every right to be here.
00:03:50Well, I was the one who organized it, so I decide who gets to come in.
00:03:54This isn't high school anymore, Barry.
00:03:56So I'm going to go inside where I'm going to have fun with my best friend Mona, and you're
00:04:01not going to stop me.
00:04:04Mona, Mona, you think the future heiress of Psychus, a company worth millions, wants
00:04:10to talk to you, a cleaner.
00:04:13You know what, boys?
00:04:14Let's go.
00:04:14Come on.
00:04:14Get her out of here.
00:04:16Hey, let go of me.
00:04:18You, Ruth, are not getting in there.
00:04:21Let go of me, you jerks.
00:04:34Let go of her, right now.
00:04:41Sorry, son.
00:04:42Sorry about that.
00:04:42I bet.
00:04:44All right, don't get him.
00:04:48BUSY!
00:04:50What?
00:04:52Hi.
00:04:53I can't believe you're actually here.
00:04:56It's been so long.
00:04:57Honestly, I just came to see you.
00:04:59I missed you so much, Mona.
00:05:04And I see you have met my fiance.
00:05:11She's engaged to that scumbag?
00:05:14Um, congratulations.
00:05:17I know you remember Barry as, well, not the nicest kid in school, but I promise he has
00:05:23changed so much.
00:05:24No, he hasn't.
00:05:25Look, if you just give him a chance, you'll see it for yourself.
00:05:28Right?
00:05:29Uh, sweetie, I think with your new social status, you don't have to bother explaining yourself
00:05:36to losers like her, so...
00:05:39What did you just say?
00:05:41Ruth is my best friend.
00:05:43She is a cleaner, Mona.
00:05:45Stop getting so emotional.
00:05:47It is embarrassing just being seen talking to her.
00:05:49She does not have a place at our table.
00:05:51You have no idea how right you are, Barry.
00:05:54I don't belong at your table.
00:05:56I belong at the head of it.
00:05:58So, Ruth, get out of here before you cause more drama.
00:06:02Barry!
00:06:04Ruth is my soulmate.
00:06:05I honestly don't know if I would have survived high school without her.
00:06:15Seriously, Mona?
00:06:19Taken, freak.
00:06:22Hey, there's a spot over here.
00:06:28Thanks.
00:06:31I'm Mona.
00:06:33I'm Ruth.
00:06:36Mona, you're the freaking heiress of Psychus, okay?
00:06:40You and I, baby, we are going to run this town.
00:06:42We can't waste our time on losers like her.
00:06:47But, Barry...
00:06:48If you really want to start your life with me, you get Ruth to leave now.
00:06:57Tell Ruth to leave now.
00:07:00You cannot really be considering letting her in.
00:07:03Our whole class is going to be there, including Jonathan Peters.
00:07:06Do you really think the governor is going to take you seriously when he sees that your best friend is
00:07:11a cleaner?
00:07:11Please, stop.
00:07:13I think Jonathan will be thrilled to see me.
00:07:16Oh.
00:07:17Barry, remember our one condition for our marriage and the merger?
00:07:22Don't.
00:07:23Our company's motto is people before profit.
00:07:28Sure.
00:07:30Ruth is clearly not rich and is a cleaner.
00:07:33But not everyone is born with a silver spoon.
00:07:36She only had a single mother to raise her.
00:07:39And what's most important is that she is a good person.
00:07:42The best person I know.
00:07:46Mona, you don't have to defend me.
00:07:48As for you, Barry, you need to accept the fact that Mona and I are best friends.
00:07:53And that you have no idea who I really am.
00:07:57Who you really are?
00:08:00You're a pathetic cleaner.
00:08:01That's who you really are.
00:08:02Maybe I should just tell Mona who I really am.
00:08:05Then she won't have to deal with all this bullshit anymore.
00:08:08Hey, Mona.
00:08:09Come here.
00:08:10I think it's about time that you know something about me.
00:08:17No, Ruth.
00:08:18No.
00:08:18You don't need to explain yourself.
00:08:21There is nothing wrong with being a cleaner.
00:08:25Treat Ruth with respect.
00:08:27That is.
00:08:28If you still want to marry me.
00:08:31Okay.
00:08:35So, what do you say, Barry?
00:08:39Oh, uh.
00:08:42Oh.
00:08:42You know, you're going to have to hold that thought because this is Jonathan's assistant.
00:08:46I have to take this.
00:08:47Hello.
00:08:48Hello.
00:08:49Hello?
00:08:49Hello, Barry.
00:08:50Yes, thank you for returning my call.
00:08:52I just wanted to confirm that Governor Peters is able to join us today.
00:08:55It'll be such an honor to have him with us.
00:08:57I know he's busy, but...
00:08:58Unfortunately, Mr. Peters had another arrangement pop up.
00:09:01He won't be able to make it to the high school reunion tonight.
00:09:05He sends his deepest regrets.
00:09:07He sends his deepest regrets.
00:09:11Okay, Barry.
00:09:12It's okay.
00:09:13It's okay.
00:09:16Okay.
00:09:16I am really sorry about him.
00:09:18I know he seems really aggressive, but he does care about me.
00:09:22He's just nervous about the merger.
00:09:24I have to say something.
00:09:25She cannot marry this man.
00:09:27Mona, are you actually happy with him?
00:09:34Do you know how many women would love to be in my position?
00:09:37And do you know how many men would love to switch places with Barry?
00:09:42Jonathan Peters, for example?
00:09:45Jonathan?
00:09:46No, no.
00:09:47He is one of the richest, most powerful sought-after people in the country.
00:09:50There's no way.
00:09:51He is so out of my league.
00:09:53I highly doubt that.
00:09:55Don't you remember when he was head over heels in love with you?
00:09:59Okay, I know this one.
00:10:00This one I know.
00:10:02This one I don't.
00:10:04Oh, no.
00:10:05Ruth, we have to study if we fail this debate final because of you.
00:10:09Just one more verse.
00:10:12And when the lights were gone alone, we found a way to carry on.
00:10:23And if the world turns cold tonight, I'll be your fire, I'll be your light.
00:10:29For God's sake, just kiss already.
00:10:36He was so into you.
00:10:38That was high school.
00:10:39Well, Jonathan can't make it.
00:10:41This is...
00:10:42I cannot believe this.
00:10:44I'll handle it.
00:10:45Oh.
00:10:46You know, I think the cleaning fumes have rotted your brain cells, Ruth.
00:10:54Get the governor, please.
00:10:56Ruth, no, you don't have to do this.
00:10:58It's no problem at all.
00:11:05Sir, it's the gold queen.
00:11:07Ruth.
00:11:10Hey, Jonathan.
00:11:12Whatever else you're doing can wait.
00:11:14Come to the event hall immediately.
00:11:15Of course, I'll be there.
00:11:16Great.
00:11:17See you soon.
00:11:19Well, Jonathan said he's going his way.
00:11:21Oh.
00:11:22Yeah, right.
00:11:23He said he had plans.
00:11:24Okay?
00:11:25Right.
00:11:25And he canceled them for me.
00:11:28He owes me.
00:11:30Owes you?
00:11:31The only person he owes is the gold queen.
00:11:33He would have lost that election if she hadn't publicly posted her support for him.
00:11:36Oh, he left the gold queen.
00:11:37She was amazing.
00:11:39Just stop, okay?
00:11:40Just stop acting like you're some kind of big shot.
00:11:42We see right through it.
00:11:44Well, no, come on.
00:11:44Let's go inside.
00:11:45Hey, Barry.
00:11:46What?
00:11:46You're going to be receiving a call in three, two, one.
00:11:56Oh.
00:11:58Bill?
00:11:59Yes, Bill.
00:12:00Governor Peters is...
00:12:01Oh, wonderful.
00:12:02We are so thrilled that he'll be joining us.
00:12:05Thank you so much.
00:12:06Oh, thank God.
00:12:09How did you...
00:12:10She didn't do shit, okay?
00:12:12All right, don't buy into this.
00:12:14Important thing is, he's going to show up.
00:12:16So you, me, and him will get a picture together, and everyone will invest in our company.
00:12:21Yeah.
00:12:23Um...
00:12:24How did you do that?
00:12:25Or everything they couldn't see.
00:12:28Now they're watching you and me.
00:12:37That's a Gold Queen lyric.
00:12:40No.
00:12:42You can't be...
00:12:45You're the Gold Queen?
00:12:48There's no way!
00:12:49Oh, come on, Mona.
00:12:51She didn't have anything to do with this.
00:12:53It is purely a coincidence.
00:12:54I mean, Ruth does have the most beautiful voice I know.
00:12:57She's a cleaner.
00:12:58Enough with this nonsense.
00:12:59There's no chance that's her.
00:13:01We need to go inside to get ready for the future president.
00:13:06You stay out here.
00:13:07Wait!
00:13:09I'm not going in without Ruth.
00:13:12Either you let her in, or I'm leaving.
00:13:22Fine.
00:13:24Come on in.
00:13:25Have a drink.
00:13:27But you keep your distance.
00:13:29And under no circumstances, no circumstances, Mona, does she talk with Jonathan Peters.
00:13:34No circumstances.
00:13:37Oh, Barry.
00:13:38You're in for a very big surprise.
00:13:44I'll see you inside in a bit.
00:13:45Hey, get us a drink.
00:13:55I can't believe I spent my high school years trying to fit in with them.
00:13:59If only they know who I am now.
00:14:01Hey, throw this away and get me another glass of wine.
00:14:04Libby Hathaway.
00:14:06Some witches never change.
00:14:08Do it yourself.
00:14:10Wait, where do you think you're going?
00:14:12Just like, do your fucking job.
00:14:19I'm a guest here, not the help.
00:14:21Or are you too drunk to remember your own classmate?
00:14:24I think I would recognize someone I went to high school with.
00:14:27She doesn't even remember me.
00:14:29Well, I remember you perfectly.
00:14:31Sadly, you haven't changed a bit.
00:14:35Excuse me?
00:14:36Whatever.
00:14:37I'm going to go find Mona.
00:14:38I think that Mona wouldn't want to be seen with someone like you.
00:14:43Okay?
00:14:44So now, just toss this and grab me a drink.
00:14:55When Jonathan arrives, we have to get photos with him immediately so we can lead them to the press.
00:14:59Sir, can you hold still, please?
00:15:05Ruth?
00:15:06Hey, hey, hey.
00:15:07Do not get involved in that high school nonsense, okay?
00:15:10Now, pull yourself together and smile.
00:15:14My friendship with Ruth isn't some high school nonsense.
00:15:18She is like family to me.
00:15:20What do you not understand?
00:15:34Alright, that's it.
00:15:36I'm done with this.
00:15:40Are you on your way?
00:15:41Okay.
00:15:43I think it's time we told Mona everything.
00:15:49How dare you spread lies.
00:15:52Just look at yourself.
00:15:55Same laugh.
00:15:56Same bully.
00:15:58Only this time I'm the one with the crowd.
00:16:02You're going to regret this, Libby.
00:16:04No.
00:16:05You're going to regret this.
00:16:07Mona is my friend and I won't let you cheapen her name just so you can get some free food
00:16:12you want to be.
00:16:13Security, security, take this trash out of my sight.
00:16:17Stop!
00:16:20Don't you dare touch her.
00:16:22Don't you dare touch her.
00:16:25Okay.
00:16:27Thanks.
00:16:29How dare you treat my best friend like this?
00:16:33And why didn't anyone step in to stop this?
00:16:36Your best friend?
00:16:38What the hell?
00:16:39Always has been.
00:16:41And always will be.
00:16:43Is Mona crazy?
00:16:45Why would she be friends with a cleaner?
00:16:47Maybe she's doing it out of pity.
00:16:49Look, I was just trying to protect your reputation.
00:16:52Okay?
00:16:53I didn't even know that you knew her.
00:16:55Of course I know her.
00:16:57And you also know her.
00:17:00She went to school with us?
00:17:02Look, if I knew that you knew her, I wouldn't have behaved this way.
00:17:07Truly.
00:17:08So you're saying it's only okay to bully people without powerful friends?
00:17:13Just like I thought.
00:17:15You're still the same bully you were back then.
00:17:18You're right, Ruth.
00:17:20And I don't have room for people like her in my life anymore.
00:17:25Security?
00:17:26I see her.
00:17:28Please escort Miss Hathaway out.
00:17:30Hey!
00:17:31Hey, no, no, no.
00:17:32You can't do this, okay?
00:17:41Oh my god, it's Daisy!
00:17:43Oh my god, is that Daisy?
00:17:44Have you heard her music?
00:17:45She's seriously on the road to stardom.
00:17:47Oh my god.
00:17:56Get your hands off of her.
00:17:58Now.
00:17:59Livy's not going anywhere.
00:18:02Well, Mona and Ruth.
00:18:05Elville High's resident freaks.
00:18:08Just like the good old days, huh?
00:18:09Wow, Daisy.
00:18:10I see you're still stuck in your mean Queen Bee face.
00:18:14It's a bit pathetic, don't you think?
00:18:16You're calling me pathetic?
00:18:18Little Miss Maid?
00:18:19You know, you have gotten funny.
00:18:21That's enough.
00:18:23Barry, stop her.
00:18:24Oh, stop me.
00:18:25I think our little Mona might be confused.
00:18:29Isn't that right, my love?
00:18:31Hmm.
00:18:36Barry, what's going on here?
00:18:38Barry and Daisy were a couple in high school.
00:18:40I bet they're still in love.
00:18:42I gave you so many chances to prove that you were worthy of someone like me, but you continued
00:18:48to disappoint, and you choosing your disgusting friend was the last straw.
00:18:52How could you do this?
00:18:54How can you be so cruel?
00:18:56Oh, move on, Mona.
00:18:58We're getting married.
00:19:00And to think I believe we could build an empire, but you are still just a little loser.
00:19:06I need someone who understands my world.
00:19:09Someone like Daisy.
00:19:12But we already signed the merger.
00:19:15Exactly.
00:19:16I now have control over Psykis' assets, and I don't need to pretend that I like you anymore.
00:19:22No, you can't do this.
00:19:23I'll just cancel the merger.
00:19:25The moment you signed those documents, I took control of everything, including your family's
00:19:30assets.
00:19:31You, Mona, have nothing.
00:19:42Dad, you have to stop the merger and freeze all movement from our bank accounts.
00:19:47No, no, no.
00:19:47Do it now.
00:19:49Sweetie, the funds were already withdrawn and transferred to Barry's name bank account.
00:19:53What?
00:19:57What's going on?
00:19:59You have nothing.
00:20:02I can't believe you actually fell for it.
00:20:05Come on, Mona.
00:20:06You didn't actually believe Barry would marry someone like you.
00:20:09That would be just too sad.
00:20:11Everyone here knows that he's been in love with me since the sixth grade.
00:20:16Were you always with Daisy?
00:20:21Was this all your plan this whole time to take over my family's company?
00:20:28Don't worry, Mona.
00:20:29Hey, I'm going to fix this, okay?
00:20:31You can't fix this.
00:20:33I have lost everything.
00:20:36My family is going to kill me.
00:20:38Now that Barry's no longer your fiancé, y'all aren't welcome here anymore.
00:20:42This reunion is for successful people only.
00:20:46And you guys are losers.
00:20:48So you need to leave now, before I call security.
00:20:54What's so funny?
00:20:58I just think it's funny that two women who rely only on a man's help would dare criticize two self
00:21:03-sufficient women.
00:21:05That's all.
00:21:05How dare you even open your mouth, you loser.
00:21:08Do you have any idea who Daisy is?
00:21:10She is the best singer to come out of this high school.
00:21:13Hell, she is the best singer to come out of Alville.
00:21:16And not to boast, but I actually have a little announcement.
00:21:20I've just signed a deal with the Gold Queen's Record Company.
00:21:23She's going to make me an international star.
00:21:27So this is the rich brat my label mentioned.
00:21:30Um, that is amazing.
00:21:33And I'm going to get a free ticket.
00:21:36Oh, you know it.
00:21:38Additionally, I'll be doing my first performance very, very soon.
00:21:42You all will get to witness the display of my first single.
00:21:47I wouldn't get too attached to that contract, Daisy.
00:21:49You know, the Gold Queen has zero tolerance for those of fake talent.
00:21:54One call from me and she'll make sure you're officially blacklisted before you even hit the first note.
00:22:00Well, you asked for it.
00:22:02She's gone.
00:22:05Maybe it's better if we just leave.
00:22:07I wouldn't have already lost everything.
00:22:11Hey, we're not going anywhere.
00:22:13Trust me, okay?
00:22:15If we don't stand up to them now, when will we ever?
00:22:18Yeah, but I do.
00:22:19Hey, just forget about Barry.
00:22:21Besides, I have someone coming any moment now.
00:22:24Jonathan Peters.
00:22:26And I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you.
00:22:28Oh my God.
00:22:30On what planet is the governor going to be happy to meet your loser friend?
00:22:34Or you for that matter?
00:22:35Let's just say Jonathan and I kept in touch.
00:22:37And he actually knows who I am.
00:22:40Oh, I'm sure.
00:22:41I mean, how much is he paying you to scrub his toilets?
00:22:45Of the act, Roosh.
00:22:47We see right through you.
00:22:49This name dropping is not going to protect your pathetic reputation.
00:22:52Don't worry about mine.
00:22:54Worry about yours.
00:23:09Let's do a sweep of the hall before the governor's arrival.
00:23:12Yes, sir.
00:23:23Check over there.
00:23:23Make sure all side rooms are empty.
00:23:26Check all cell phones and make sure no bottles are uncorked.
00:23:34Bill.
00:23:35It is so nice to meet you.
00:23:37And we are so honored that Governor Peters is going to be able to come to you.
00:23:40I don't have time for this.
00:23:42I'm looking for the gold.
00:23:45I believe I'm the one you're looking for.
00:23:47Oh.
00:23:51Bruce, what are you talking about?
00:23:54Please ignore them.
00:23:55She was supposed to be gone a long time ago because she's just a poor cleaner.
00:23:59Quite unfortunate, really.
00:24:01Ignore this eyesore.
00:24:03I'm sorry, who are you referring to?
00:24:05This cheap toilet scrubbing cleaner.
00:24:09She reeks budget.
00:24:11And honestly, it's giving me like an allergic reaction.
00:24:13So you're telling me that she is a cleaner?
00:24:17Yes, but do not worry.
00:24:19This discount version of a woman will not ruin our night.
00:24:24Guards, stand down.
00:24:27Ma'am, so good to see you again.
00:24:31Okay, what the hell is going on here?
00:24:33Did he just call her ma'am?
00:24:35Bill, have your men clear the perimeter and wait at the front entrance.
00:24:38I don't want any distractions while I finish my business with these...
00:24:42people.
00:24:44Understood.
00:24:46You heard her.
00:24:47Fall back to the main entrance.
00:24:48Don't let anyone in until she gives the word.
00:24:52Why is the governor's team listening to you?
00:24:55He'll do whatever I tell him.
00:24:59I told you both you're making a mistake.
00:25:01Baby, do something.
00:25:04This street rat is going to ruin my moment.
00:25:10She's going to ruin my performance.
00:25:12Please, please, I'm going to handle it, I promise.
00:25:14Bill, I think there's been a little bit of a misunderstanding.
00:25:18You see, I'm in charge here.
00:25:19And in fact, I was Jonathan's best friend in high school.
00:25:24Best friend?
00:25:26You boycotted him because he was nice to me and Mona.
00:25:28Would you shut the hell up?
00:25:30I apologize for her behavior.
00:25:32She's not the brightest bulb.
00:25:33But don't worry, I'm going to kick her out before the governor comes.
00:25:37Kick her out?
00:25:38Are you out of your mind?
00:25:39We knew each other in high school and she grew up to be such a loser.
00:25:44And between you and I, it is quite embarrassing for all of us that she showed her face here.
00:25:51You insolent fool.
00:25:53How dare you speak of her like that?
00:25:57What the hell are you doing?
00:25:59Baby, are you okay?
00:26:00Not really.
00:26:01You're all idiots.
00:26:02The governor wouldn't have even agreed to come to this little party if she didn't invite him.
00:26:06What is going on?
00:26:08Why are you showing her respect?
00:26:10She is nothing but a walking trash can, man.
00:26:15Shut your mouth while you're ahead.
00:26:17What's going on?
00:26:20Do you even know who she is?
00:26:22Check the fit.
00:26:23She's the cleaning lady.
00:26:25You're really all idiots.
00:26:26Mr. Peters was right about you.
00:26:28Then who the hell is she?
00:26:30Okay, why bother to give her so much respect?
00:26:32You don't deserve an explanation.
00:26:34Just trust that she's more successful and more important than all of you.
00:26:38Okay, enough.
00:26:39Are you going to offer up an explanation or are you going to leave like you should have ten minutes
00:26:42ago?
00:26:43Yeah, you coward!
00:26:45Baby, please do not let these people ruin my night.
00:26:49Mona, you both need to leave now!
00:26:55Then only in the next ten seconds.
00:26:57Please, let it go.
00:26:57Earth, please, let's just go before something bad happens.
00:27:02I don't want to be around him.
00:27:03Please.
00:27:06Fine!
00:27:07I'll tell you.
00:27:09Just to see the look on their faces, it's going to be worth it.
00:27:13Not that there's anything wrong with being a cleaner.
00:27:16But it's not exactly my profession.
00:27:18And to be honest, you all have heard and seen me multiple times over the last five years.
00:27:25Yeah, have you been cleaning houses in my neighborhood?
00:27:29No, Libby.
00:27:30I'm a singer.
00:27:32You didn't give up on your dream to sing?
00:27:35No.
00:27:36And to be honest, I've actually done quite well for myself.
00:27:40Well, if you're such a famous singer, why have none of us ever heard of you?
00:27:44You have.
00:27:50I am.
00:27:52Attention, attention, everyone.
00:27:54If you could gather around the stage, we have a very special surprise.
00:27:59One of the most talented and successful singers that has made their way out of Elville High is here tonight.
00:28:07What?
00:28:08But I haven't even told them yet.
00:28:11Daisy, please make your way to the stage.
00:28:13Everybody give it up for Daisy.
00:28:15Hurry up!
00:28:16Hurry up!
00:28:18Prepare to see a real star.
00:28:25Bruce, let's just leave.
00:28:27Tired of these bullies.
00:28:30Leave now and miss out on Daisy humiliating herself?
00:28:33I've heard her sing.
00:28:34She's terrible.
00:28:36Really?
00:28:47I walk in the room and the lights hit my face.
00:28:51There's nobody here who could take up my space.
00:28:55Maybe it's a trendy new style.
00:28:57Otherwise, why would the Gold Queen sign her to a record company?
00:29:00Sneeze, let's eat.
00:29:02Who is on mine?
00:29:03Mirror, mirror on the wall.
00:29:05Who is the prettiest of them all?
00:29:10It's me.
00:29:11It's me.
00:29:12It's always been me.
00:29:13The girl that the whole world was dying to see.
00:29:17He chose me.
00:29:19He loved me.
00:29:20He gave me his heart.
00:29:21She can't be a part of my record company.
00:29:23I don't care how much she's willing to pay.
00:29:26Born to shine.
00:29:28Born to glow.
00:29:30Everyone loves me.
00:29:32They told me so.
00:29:35Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:29:42Woo!
00:29:42That was great, babe!
00:29:44That's my woman up there, huh?
00:29:45Wow, that was amazing.
00:29:47I actually have one more small surprise for all of you.
00:29:51Our very own toilet cleaning Ruth has confided in me that she's an excellent singer,
00:29:56so I thought we would take this opportunity to allow her to prove herself.
00:30:01What are you waiting for?
00:30:03We want to hear your toilet cleaning song.
00:30:10Well, come on, Ruth.
00:30:11Don't be shy.
00:30:12I mean, you're a famous singer, right?
00:30:15Toilet, Ruth.
00:30:16Toilet, Ruth.
00:30:18Toilet, Ruth.
00:30:20Toilet, Ruth.
00:30:24You don't have to do this.
00:30:26Daisy isn't worth it.
00:30:30As we do every Friday, someone will share their talent.
00:30:33Ruth, the floor is yours.
00:30:38I'm so sweet.
00:30:40I'm so sweet.
00:30:42I'm so sweet.
00:30:44I'm so sweet.
00:30:47I'm so sweet.
00:30:49I'm so sweet.
00:30:58And if the world turns cold at night, I'll be your fire, I'll be your light.
00:31:04And we were never meant to fall, we're not the loudest after all.
00:31:16Daisy and Barry will do whatever they can to make you look terrible.
00:31:20Trust me, okay?
00:31:23Okay.
00:31:24For your listening pleasure, the singing rag.
00:31:36So.
00:31:43Come on.
00:31:44We want to know if you sound like a broom or only look like one, too.
00:32:02Star's in your eyes, a silent prayer.
00:32:08I saw a world nobody dared
00:32:14Two broken hearts and empty hearts
00:32:18We were invisible to them all
00:32:25Stars in your eyes, don't let them fade
00:32:32Hold on to every dream we made
00:32:37When no one hears you, I still do
00:32:40The world will turn and look at you
00:32:43Her voice is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
00:32:55Go Bestie!
00:32:57She sounds exactly like the Gold Queen
00:32:59That was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life
00:33:04Thank you
00:33:06Daisy, Ruth sounds exactly like the Gold Queen
00:33:09Is that really what you want to have just said to me?
00:33:14Wow, she is really good
00:33:18Well, I don't know what that was
00:33:19But she just sounds exactly like the Gold Queen
00:33:22Surely you're not all gullible enough to think that she's the Gold Queen
00:33:27Be honest
00:33:27You used a playback, right?
00:33:29Nope
00:33:30All me
00:33:31So I'm meant to believe that Ruth the Weirdo turned Ruth the Toilet Scrubber
00:33:36Is actually a world famous singer?
00:33:39DJ, if you wouldn't mind playing that last track back
00:33:43You chose me!
00:33:46Wait, isn't this a song that you just sung on stage?
00:33:49What?
00:33:50Cut it!
00:33:51Kill it!
00:33:52Well, you definitely killed it, Daisy
00:33:55Unfortunately, you can't sing
00:33:57And my record company isn't going to risk its reputation for someone like you
00:34:06Hi, please cancel our meeting with Daisy Vaughn
00:34:09I've changed my mind
00:34:14How can that be?
00:34:17That means...
00:34:19Just when I thought that you'd hit rock bottom
00:34:22You saved lower
00:34:24Faking a phone call with someone who wouldn't even give you the time of day?
00:34:27Shut up
00:34:27You're a fraud
00:34:28And a liar
00:34:29And I'm going to make sure the Gold Queen hears about it
00:34:32Are you out of your...
00:34:33Hey
00:34:33That's okay
00:34:35If I'm bluffing
00:34:37Then why don't you explain the phone call you're about to receive?
00:34:40Oh, come on
00:34:42Just stop pretending, okay?
00:34:44Aren't you tired?
00:34:52What?
00:34:53No, that can't be
00:34:57You can't do that
00:34:58I will sue you
00:35:00No, please don't cancel it
00:35:01I'm begging you
00:35:02I...
00:35:04I bet this is the most embarrassing thing she has ever experienced
00:35:09How did she do that?
00:35:11You guys can't honestly be falling for this
00:35:13It's obviously a trick
00:35:15Uh, yeah, um, how would you explain the phone call?
00:35:18Obviously it was a fake call
00:35:19And the contract still stands
00:35:22Oh my god
00:35:23You know, along with paying the DJ
00:35:25And these gentlemen to pretend to be Jonathan's entourage
00:35:30She's just planning ahead
00:35:31To make sure that we don't know that she's a pathetic cleaning lady
00:35:35Yeah
00:35:36You staged this whole thing
00:35:39You are so ashamed that you grew up a loser
00:35:43That you take it out on us
00:35:45You're pathetic
00:35:47I think it's time you freaks leave
00:35:50Come on
00:35:52This is our reunion too
00:35:54Well then let's put it to a vote
00:35:56Ask the class
00:35:58Anyone who'd like these freaks to leave
00:36:01Go ahead and raise your hands
00:36:04Come on
00:36:05Don't be shy
00:36:08Oh yeah
00:36:19Lifelong friendship hand in hand
00:36:21Our show destiny is planned
00:36:24I think it's...
00:36:25Yeah
00:36:25I think it is
00:36:27Sometimes a friend is stronger than family
00:36:30Blah, blah, blah
00:36:32How stupid
00:36:33Give that back
00:36:34It's private
00:36:37Who's in favor of me not returning her notebook
00:36:39And reading what the freak wrote
00:36:49You all are going to regret this
00:36:51You're just a pathetic, sad, mopping Ruth
00:36:54You got nothing
00:36:55I think it's time you get out now
00:36:58Nobody wants you here
00:37:02You got nothing
00:37:04Mm-mm-mm-t
00:37:16No
00:37:28It's Jonathan Peters.
00:37:30Oh my god, he is so hot.
00:37:42Thank you for the invitation.
00:37:43It is lovely to see you all.
00:37:45Of course, we are so honored you decided to come.
00:37:49I came as fast as I could.
00:37:51Hello, Johnny.
00:37:53Johnny?
00:37:56Johnny, this isn't high school anymore, okay?
00:37:58He is the governor, in case you haven't noticed.
00:38:00So show him some respect.
00:38:02Governor Peters, I am so sorry about her.
00:38:05As you can see, the years since high school have not been kind to her.
00:38:08Now she feels all this rage because she is no better than a pathetic floor rag.
00:38:14Ruth.
00:38:15A floor rag.
00:38:16It's actually, floor rag is too beautiful of a description.
00:38:20I'd say she's more like a walking, stinking trash can.
00:38:23That's more appropriate.
00:38:24I suggest you choose your next words very carefully, Barry.
00:38:27You're right about one thing.
00:38:29We aren't in high school anymore.
00:38:30And I won't let you talk to her like that any longer.
00:38:35But, Johnny, I...
00:38:37Governor Peters, when I invited you here...
00:38:40I only came here tonight because of her invitation.
00:38:50Johnny, surely you remember my best friend, Mona.
00:38:54Wow.
00:38:56Mona, I...
00:38:58I didn't recognize you.
00:38:59You...
00:39:01You look incredible.
00:39:04So, Johnny, about that favor you owe me, what do you think about paying it back by taking this beautiful
00:39:12lady on a date?
00:39:13Ruth, stop.
00:39:15You're embarrassing me right now.
00:39:17It wouldn't be a favor.
00:39:20It would be my honor, Mona.
00:39:23I would love to take you out.
00:39:24Oh.
00:39:25If you'll have me.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:28Is somebody going to explain to me why we're sucking up to the cleaning lady?
00:39:33Your call, Ruth.
00:39:36Ruth is the most powerful woman in the world, controlling industries that you could only dream of.
00:39:41In fact, there's not a single person on this planet that doesn't know her or her voice.
00:39:47What?
00:39:49You want to tell them?
00:39:52I am the Gold Queen.
00:39:53Huh?
00:39:54Ruth's the Gold Queen?
00:39:55Oh, I mean, I can't say I'm surprised.
00:39:59You have always been the most talented person I have ever known.
00:40:03They thought their bullying would bring me down.
00:40:07But it only became my fuel.
00:40:09Every laugh, every insult only made me stronger and made me dream even bigger.
00:40:14You see, all you did was make me unstoppable.
00:40:18So thank you for the motivation.
00:40:21Ruth, baby girl.
00:40:23You know, we were just teasing you.
00:40:25Right?
00:40:26Something kids do.
00:40:27I feel like we all agree that the best course of action is to close that chapter and preserve those
00:40:32precious childhood memories for all of us.
00:40:34Well, Daisy, I'm not interested in those memories, especially if you were in them.
00:40:42Barry, you have 24 hours to give back everything you took from Mona.
00:40:47Otherwise, the governor here is going to make sure you get arrested for fraud.
00:40:50You heard the lady.
00:40:54Tomorrow, a special performance will be held at the City Theatre in honor of my visit to Alville and me
00:41:00finally reuniting with my bestie.
00:41:03Woo!
00:41:05That is, only those who didn't vote against us leaving or behave like a bully in high school will be
00:41:11invited.
00:41:12I gotta get a drink.
00:41:19I can't believe you're the gold queen.
00:41:22This is amazing.
00:41:23I know, it's wild.
00:41:26I've been wanting to tell you for so long.
00:41:28And I've been wanting to hear everything that's been going on with you, too.
00:41:31But first, we have to go get dresses.
00:41:33Yes.
00:41:33And I won't let you two miss out on each other again.
00:41:40Thank you, bestie.
00:41:50So, you like Typhoon?
00:41:52How did you know?
00:41:55Mutual acquaintance, told me.
00:41:57Finally.
00:42:06Ew, take your filthy hands off that dress.
00:42:10Ruth?
00:42:11Shirley, right?
00:42:13You were on the debate team with Mona.
00:42:16I was.
00:42:17What are you doing here?
00:42:18This is my mother's store.
00:42:20We specialize in super luxurious dresses.
00:42:23So, you shouldn't touch them with your disgusting hands.
00:42:27They cost more than what you'll probably make in a lifetime.
00:42:30I suggest you not discriminate against me based on what I'm wearing.
00:42:35Mom?
00:42:35Yes, honey?
00:42:37Mom, remember the state debates?
00:42:39That girl who spent the whole final round crying in a locked bathroom stall?
00:42:44How could I forget?
00:42:45She basically handed you that trophy on a silver platter.
00:42:49It was you who locked her in the bathroom that day.
00:42:51She didn't get accepted to the college she wanted because of your stupid prank.
00:42:55Yep, it was me.
00:42:57Such a fun memory.
00:43:00Why would you do that?
00:43:02Because that's how winners behave.
00:43:04That's exactly what my daughter is.
00:43:06A winner.
00:43:07Some are winners like me, and some are losers like you and Mona.
00:43:13It's just how the world works.
00:43:14Mona is not a loser.
00:43:16She's actually an insanely successful businesswoman.
00:43:19In fact, I'm here to buy her a dress for the Gold Queen's concert.
00:43:24Sure, yeah.
00:43:26And I'm the Queen of England.
00:43:27You know, I heard Jonathan Peters was invited to the VIP section of the concert tomorrow.
00:43:32I'm sure as soon as he sees you, you will conquer his heart.
00:43:36And become the richest woman in the country.
00:43:40I promise you, you're not getting into that concert.
00:43:42Oh, did you hear that, Shirley?
00:43:44The cleaner says she won't let you in.
00:43:47Oh, I'm trembling.
00:43:49What's she going to do, block the door with her duster?
00:43:52I'm just saying, save yourselves the embarrassment and don't even show up.
00:43:56Who the fuck do you think you are, huh?
00:44:00Don't believe me?
00:44:01Go ahead.
00:44:02Enjoy the show.
00:44:03I know I will.
00:44:05And I don't intend to buy a dress here anymore.
00:44:08Not so fast.
00:44:09You already touched the dresses with your dirty hands.
00:44:13You'll have to pay for every single dress you touched.
00:44:16Otherwise, I'll be forced to call the police.
00:44:19Have you lost your mind?
00:44:21Security!
00:44:23Get that thief.
00:44:27You're making a big mistake.
00:44:29Boo hoo, I'm shaking.
00:44:32You know, it's ironic that you sell luxury goods when you're both so cheap yourselves.
00:44:40You and your mother are going to pay for what you did to Mona and how you treated me today.
00:44:44Mom, help.
00:44:47Mom, help the cleaners after me with her dustpan.
00:44:52Last chance, loser.
00:44:55Pay up.
00:44:56You won't receive a single cent from me.
00:44:59Not now and not ever.
00:45:00You've asked for it.
00:45:02Take her out.
00:45:03I'm calling the cops.
00:45:06What are you doing?
00:45:10Oh, I'm sorry.
00:45:11Did I drop your Windex or...
00:45:16Oh, no.
00:45:17I forgot to take it out of my bag after the concert.
00:45:23I can't believe this.
00:45:25You're not just any loser.
00:45:27You're a professional thief.
00:45:29Get her now!
00:45:30Don't touch me.
00:45:34Back off.
00:45:37Why aren't you grabbing her?
00:45:38Because she stole the mask.
00:45:40I bet you snuck into her room at the hotel you're working in and you stole it so you could
00:45:46sell it for a couple dollars.
00:45:48Shirley, you could give that to the Gold Queen yourself.
00:45:51And who knows?
00:45:52Maybe thanks to you she'll come in and buy some dresses.
00:45:55Oh my god, Mom.
00:45:56You really think that could happen?
00:45:57I'm sure of it, sweetheart.
00:46:01What exactly are you laughing about?
00:46:03You're one step away from prison.
00:46:05There's just one small problem with your plan.
00:46:07What is that exactly?
00:46:10The Gold Queen would never come near this door ever again.
00:46:14Again?
00:46:15Considering you just kicked her out.
00:46:18I am the Gold Queen.
00:46:23This woman is crazy.
00:46:25We run the most elite boutique in the district.
00:46:29We don't just sell dresses.
00:46:30We sell status.
00:46:32You know what?
00:46:33I should share your world-class service with my followers.
00:46:37Go ahead.
00:46:38I'd love to see the three likes you get from your fellow janitors.
00:46:44Okay.
00:46:45Let's see what the world thinks of your so-called.
00:46:47Status.
00:46:48This should be fun to watch.
00:46:54Hey, my dear Gold fans.
00:46:56I wanted to warn you about this boutique store.
00:46:58Where quality is low and standards are even lower.
00:47:04And done.
00:47:05You're absolutely pathetic.
00:47:07We all know nothing's going to happen.
00:47:16What the fuck?
00:47:21Fashion Week just cancelled our partnership.
00:47:27Mom, what's going on?
00:47:29Another stylist just cancelled fittings for the Oscars.
00:47:32Check our app for all of our scheduled fittings.
00:47:36Oh, fuck.
00:47:38We're ruined.
00:47:39Everyone's cancelled.
00:47:42Oh, my God.
00:47:44You are the Gold Queen.
00:47:46No, Mom.
00:47:46No way.
00:47:47It can't be.
00:47:47Shut up, Shirley.
00:47:48It's her.
00:47:50Please forgive my daughter.
00:47:51She didn't know who she was talking to.
00:47:53You'll get no pity from me.
00:47:55Especially after how you treated my bestie.
00:47:59What did she do to me?
00:48:01Oh, my God.
00:48:02That's Governor Jonathan Peters.
00:48:04Oh, shit.
00:48:05That's Mona.
00:48:05What is going on here?
00:48:07Mona, Mona.
00:48:08Please forgive me.
00:48:09Okay?
00:48:09I knew if I let you compete in that debate, I'd never win.
00:48:12I had to get that scholarship.
00:48:14What?
00:48:14Do you remember the bathroom door that wouldn't open that day?
00:48:17She's the reason you were locked in the bathroom.
00:48:19That's why you never made it.
00:48:20I always wondered why.
00:48:21You were the best, and yet you never made it to the finals.
00:48:25It was you.
00:48:27You locked me in.
00:48:30That day changed my entire life.
00:48:33Everything that I planned, every dream I had of leaving this city, vanished because of you.
00:48:40And now, it's her turn to see her world crumble.
00:48:44I've already made the post.
00:48:46No one's going to set foot in this boutique ever again.
00:48:49Please, Gold Queen.
00:48:50I'm begging you, delete that post.
00:48:53This store is all we have.
00:48:55And Shirley is a loser.
00:48:57She can't find work anywhere else.
00:48:59We'll be out on the street.
00:49:00I'm begging you, please have mercy.
00:49:06Ruth, delete the post.
00:49:09Let them keep their store.
00:49:12Having to live with themselves is enough punishment.
00:49:15Wow.
00:49:16You have an incredible heart, Mona.
00:49:19Most people would have chosen revenge, and yet you chose grace.
00:49:25It's done.
00:49:27You both are lucky she has more mercy than I do.
00:49:33Let's go, guys.
00:49:44Ruth, um, about the concert tomorrow.
00:49:47There's something I need to ask you, and I know it's a lot, so feel free to say no.
00:49:52But would you mind inviting my parents to the concert?
00:49:58Ruth, I know that they didn't accept you back then, and they tried to keep us apart, but if you
00:50:05could just give them another chance, it would mean everything to me.
00:50:09I want them to see you the way I always have.
00:50:13Of course, Mona.
00:50:16What's important to you is important to me.
00:50:20I really, really appreciate it.
00:50:26But don't tell them who I am just yet.
00:50:29Leave that to me.
00:50:30When we finally meet, I want them to see for themselves that I was never the bad influence they thought
00:50:36I was.
00:50:37Of course.
00:50:43I'm just so happy that you both are going to be there tomorrow.
00:50:46Two of my favorite people, right in the front row.
00:50:50All right, let's go shopping.
00:50:52Yay!
00:50:53I know how this ends.
00:50:55Come on!
00:51:01So, how was your date?
00:51:05He's perfect, Ruth.
00:51:06And he gives me butterflies.
00:51:09I can't believe I wasted so much time on that idiot Barry.
00:51:13Yeah, Barry sucks.
00:51:14He always has.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:16But look at how Jonathan, the quiet, gentle guy from high school, turned out to be the successful, beloved governor.
00:51:23And what about you, Ruth?
00:51:25I mean, look at you.
00:51:27I am so proud of you.
00:51:30I mean, who would have believed that you would become the most successful singer in the world?
00:51:34I can hardly believe it myself.
00:51:37It's like I'm two different people.
00:51:39First, there's Ruth.
00:51:41The freak or invisible girl that has to fight just to get noticed.
00:51:44And then, there's the Gold Queen.
00:51:47So dazzling, she blinds everyone.
00:51:51I honestly can't believe the scale it's reached.
00:51:54It's crazy.
00:51:55It's amazing.
00:51:58But, I am curious.
00:52:01Why do you wear that mask when you go on stage?
00:52:08I created the Gold Queen for myself, because I thought deep down that if I went out there just the
00:52:15way I am, I'd still be invisible.
00:52:19But, you are so beautiful and powerful, Ruth.
00:52:24If you went out on stage just like that, the audience would go wild.
00:52:29In jeans and a t-shirt.
00:52:31Yes!
00:52:31Oh, my...
00:52:32You know what?
00:52:33I am dying for my parents to see you, to just realize how wrong they were about you all those
00:52:39years.
00:52:39I wouldn't get your hopes up, they never liked me, and I never understood why.
00:52:46Yeah, but that was a long time ago, and like we said, we're not in high school anymore.
00:52:54There they are.
00:52:56They are in the VIP room.
00:52:59Should we go say hi?
00:53:01Are you sure about this?
00:53:03I'm sure.
00:53:05Fine.
00:53:06Let's do this.
00:53:08Let's do this.
00:53:09I just hope this goes smoothly.
00:53:12Hey, Mom!
00:53:15Dad?
00:53:18You look wonderful.
00:53:20You look incredible, Mona.
00:53:22Where did you get that outfit?
00:53:23Um, actually, Ruth gave it to me.
00:53:27Say hello to Ruth.
00:53:30You remember her?
00:53:32What is she doing here?
00:53:33She's here because she...
00:53:35We made it clear a long time ago we don't approve of this relationship between you two.
00:53:39Dad, wait.
00:53:40She isn't here for no reason.
00:53:42She is obvious why she's here.
00:53:44As usual, she's looking for a way to exploit your status,
00:53:48but to show up at a Gold Queen event with you?
00:53:50The nerve!
00:53:52You don't understand.
00:53:53Just let me explain.
00:53:54No explanation is necessary.
00:53:56She needs to leave now.
00:53:59You didn't listen to us in high school?
00:54:01And look where it got you.
00:54:03You were lonely.
00:54:04Friendless.
00:54:05You better listen to us now.
00:54:06No.
00:54:07It's the exact opposite.
00:54:09I wasn't lonely because of Ruth.
00:54:12She's my friend.
00:54:14They haven't changed a bit.
00:54:15It's hopeless.
00:54:17Friend?
00:54:17Come on.
00:54:18You were from a respectable family.
00:54:21Well, she was just the daughter of a struggling single mother.
00:54:25She was always pulling you down.
00:54:28You were just too naive to see it.
00:54:30My mother may have raised me by herself, but she gave me everything I needed.
00:54:35She made me feel worthy.
00:54:37Look at what you're wearing to the biggest concert Elleville has ever seen.
00:54:41Mom, you are so wrong.
00:54:44You don't understand who Ruth is.
00:54:47I understand perfectly.
00:54:49Mom, please don't.
00:54:50Just look at her.
00:54:51I mean, she looks disheveled and pathetic.
00:54:54The bottom of the barrel.
00:54:57I don't understand why, after all these years, she came popping back into your life.
00:55:02Because, Mom, we had our class reunion yesterday.
00:55:05She actually traveled a long way just to see me.
00:55:08She was at the reunion?
00:55:10Let me guess.
00:55:11She's the reason the merger didn't go through with Barry.
00:55:14You should be happy that the wedding is off.
00:55:16Happy?
00:55:16We were on our way to becoming the most successful company in this city, and you destroyed everything.
00:55:22No, Jack.
00:55:23It was Barry who destroyed everything.
00:55:25He's a despicable cheater who treated your daughter like trash.
00:55:29There you go again.
00:55:31Once again, making her believe that you are the only one good enough for her.
00:55:36By doing what?
00:55:37It's exactly what you did back in high school.
00:55:40You ruined every chance Mona ever had of having good high school memories.
00:55:44Mom!
00:55:46It's true.
00:55:48Everyone stayed away from Mona because of you.
00:55:51I may be the daughter of the wealthy, respectable Robyns family, but you know what?
00:55:55To everyone else, I was just a freak.
00:55:57That's because you kept hanging out with her.
00:55:59If you'd listened to us and cut her off like we said, everything would have been fine.
00:56:03You know what?
00:56:04As a young girl, I wanted so badly for you to accept me.
00:56:09I was actually jealous of Mona for having a real family.
00:56:13For having everything.
00:56:15But then I quickly realized who you really are.
00:56:18Self-centered parents who never truly saw their own daughter.
00:56:23All you ever cared about was your money and status.
00:56:25How dare you, you insolent rat!
00:56:28My mother may have struggled, but she never struggled to see me.
00:56:32To support me, to be there for me.
00:56:35Somehow, the house that seemed to have nothing like you all said,
00:56:38I actually had everything I needed.
00:56:45Don't you dare touch her, Dad.
00:56:49It's okay.
00:56:54I invited you here because you're Mona's parents.
00:56:57And because she's my best friend.
00:56:59Clearly, I made a mistake.
00:57:02Invited us?
00:57:03Who do you think you are?
00:57:05And many things.
00:57:07But above all, I am a human being that deserves to be treated with respect.
00:57:11You don't deserve our respect.
00:57:13We are the guests of honor of the Gold Queen and Jonathan Peters.
00:57:18You don't even belong here.
00:57:20Get out now.
00:57:22I had hoped I could forgive you both for trying to tear me away from my best friend.
00:57:27But you know what?
00:57:29You've run out of chances.
00:57:31You have no idea how big a mistake you just made.
00:57:34I think it's time you knew.
00:57:36You're only here because I invited you.
00:57:44I am the Gold Queen.
00:57:46What?
00:57:49You are completely out of your mind.
00:57:52You expect us to believe that this poor girl is the most successful singer in the world?
00:57:58Impossible.
00:57:59It's true, Mom.
00:58:00Ruth proved that talent and drive are so much stronger than any status.
00:58:05She climbed to the top all on her own.
00:58:08While everyone else was too busy looking down on her.
00:58:14Thank you, Mona.
00:58:16But look at you.
00:58:18The girl the kids tried to break back then.
00:58:20The one they laughed at.
00:58:22You proved just how brilliant and powerful you really are.
00:58:27I guess the two losers from high school ended up leaving everyone else in the dust.
00:58:31Oh, yep.
00:58:33Make that three losers.
00:58:37Oh my god, it's Jonathan Peters!
00:58:40Hey, beautiful.
00:58:42I missed you.
00:58:43I missed you too.
00:58:46Am I late?
00:58:47Not at all.
00:58:48You're right on time.
00:58:50Governor Peters, it's an honor.
00:58:53My name is Jack and this is my wife Linda.
00:58:55We're Ramona's parents and special guests of the Gold Queen.
00:58:58I would love to sit and talk with you later.
00:59:00Maybe about some business?
00:59:01Absolutely not, Dad.
00:59:03Jonathan and I are here to enjoy a concert together.
00:59:07No business.
00:59:10Ruth, the crowd's getting impatient.
00:59:12Let's go.
00:59:13One second.
00:59:17I don't understand what's going on here.
00:59:19What is there to understand, Dad?
00:59:22Ruth, the friend that you humiliated, shamed, and insulted over and over again.
00:59:27Oh, and the only person who ever believed in me when no one else did?
00:59:31Yeah, she is the Gold Queen.
00:59:34The most successful singer on the planet.
00:59:37I'm so sorry.
00:59:38We didn't know.
00:59:41We tried to tell you, but your arrogance, your vanity,
00:59:46the shallow way that you judge people made you blind.
00:59:51You didn't only miss out on a massive opportunity with the Gold Queen.
00:59:54You lost me too.
00:59:57You lost me too.
01:00:01Come on.
01:00:12Good evening, Alville.
01:00:16This is my first and hopefully not my last concert here in my hometown.
01:00:21But you know, yesterday afternoon, I did something I thought I'd never have the courage to do.
01:00:28I performed at my high school reunion.
01:00:32It was a strange and yet incredible feeling to finally be seen.
01:00:43But then I realized I was never actually invisible.
01:00:48I always had my best friend Mona by my side.
01:00:51She saw me, truly saw me all along.
01:00:56Sometimes all you need is one true friend to finally believe in you.
01:01:00So Mona, thank you.
01:01:04I love you.
01:01:05I couldn't have asked for a better best friend.
01:01:09And I think it's about time to finally say goodbye to my golden mask.
01:01:13No freaking way.
