Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:15A 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.
00:00:29She 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.
00:01:42And 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?
00:02:00Make us smile, but we were made to rise up.
00:02:04Off 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.
00:02:17Are 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?
00:02:32But...
00:02:33I'm finally going to see my best friend.
00:02:41Wait, the exit's swollen with fans.
00:02:43Your identity.
00:02:49Hmm, I have an idea.
00:02:51No, hold up!
00:02:54Hey, back up!
00:02:55I have an idea.
00:02:56I have an idea.
00:02:57I have an idea.
00:02:57It's not her.
00:02:58It's not her.
00:02:58Where is she?
00:02:59Go Queen!
00:03:02Let's go!
00:03:11Let's go!
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?
00:03:23Ruth Davenport?
00:03:24Barry, not you.
00:03:26Hi, Barry.
00:03:27Wow!
00:03:28You became a cleaner!
00:03:31How sad.
00:03:32Yeah, it's great to see you two.
00:03:34Bye.
00:03:35Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:03:36Hey, hey.
00:03:37You are not going in there.
00:03:39So just walk away with what little dignity you have left.
00:03:42As 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.
00:04:03Mona?
00:04:05Mona?
00:04:05You think the future heiress of Psychus, a company worth millions, wants to talk to
00:04:10you.
00:04:11A 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 me go, you jerk!
00:04:36Ruth?
00:04:37Let go of her!
00:04:39Right now!
00:04:41Sorry, son.
00:04:42Sorry about that.
00:04:43I bet.
00:04:44All right, don't get in.
00:04:48Bestie!
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 fiancé.
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 you,
00:05:23he has changed 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?
00:05:30Uh, sweetie, um, I think with your new social status, you don't have to bother explaining
00:05:36yourself to losers like her.
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.
00:06:06I honestly don't know if I would have survived high school without her.
00:06:15Seriously, Mona?
00:06:19Taken freak.
00:06:23Hey, there's a spot over here.
00:06:28Thanks.
00:06:32I'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,
00:06:51you 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
00:07:09when he sees that your best friend is a 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?
00:07:21And the merger?
00:07:22Don't.
00:07:23Our company's motto is people before profit.
00:07:29Sure.
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.
00:07:47Mona, you don't have to defend me.
00:07:49As 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.
00:07:56Oh, who you really are?
00:08:00You're a pathetic cleaner.
00:08:01That's who you really are.
00:08:03Maybe 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, come here.
00:08:10I think it's about time that you know something about me.
00:08:17No, Ruth, no, you 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, if you still want to marry me.
00:08:31Okay.
00:08:35So, what do you say, Barry?
00:08:40Oh, uh.
00:08:42Oh, you 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?
00:08:49Hello?
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...
00:08:59Unfortunately, Mr. Peters had another arrangement pop up.
00:09:02He won't be able to make it to the high school reunion tonight.
00:09:05Mm-hmm.
00:09:06He sends his deepest regrets.
00:09:12Okay, Barry.
00:09:13It's...
00:09:14Okay.
00:09:16I...
00:09:17I 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?
00:09:34You 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?
00:09:46Should have been?
00:09:46No, no.
00:09:47He is one of the richest, most powerful side-after people in the country.
00:09:51There'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?
00:09:59Yeah, 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, 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.
00:10:55Get the governor, please.
00:10:56Ruth, no, you don't have to do this.
00:10:59It'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.
00:11:22Oh.
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.
00:11:36Well, he left the Gold Queen.
00:11:38She 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.
00:11:59Bill?
00:12:00Yes.
00:12:00Governor Peter says...
00:12:02Oh, 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.
00:12:17So 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?
00:12:26Or everything they couldn't see.
00:12:28Now they're watching you and me.
00:12:38That's a Gold Queen lyric.
00:12:40No.
00:12:42You can't be...
00:12:44You'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.
00:13:00There's no chance that's her.
00:13:02We 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.
00:13:23I'm not going in.
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.
00:13:35No 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.
00:13:56I 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?
00:14:13Just like, do your fucking job.
00:14:19I'm a guest here, not the help.
00:14:22Or 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.
00:14:39I 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.
00:15:00Sir, can you hold still, please?
00:15:06Ruth?
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.
00:15:15My friendship with Ruth isn't some high school nonsense.
00:15:18She is like family to me.
00:15:20What do you not understand?
00:15:35Alright, that's it.
00:15:36I'm done with this.
00:15:40Are you on your way?
00:15:42Okay.
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.
00:16:26Okay.
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?
00:16:40Always has been.
00:16:41And always will be.
00:16:44Is 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.
00:16:53Okay?
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.
00:17:01She 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.
00:17:26Security?
00:17:27Are you serious?
00:17:28Please escort Miss Hathaway out.
00:17:30Hey!
00:17:31Hey, no, no, no.
00:17:33You 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, now.
00:17:59Livvy'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?
00:18:10Wow, Daisy.
00:18:11I see you're still stuck in your mean Queen Bee face.
00:18:13It's a bit pathetic, don't you think?
00:18:16You're calling me pathetic, little Miss Maid?
00:18:19You know, you have gotten funny.
00:18:22That's enough.
00:18:23Barry, stop her.
00:18:25Oh, stop me.
00:18:26I think our little Mona might be confused.
00:18:29Isn't that right, my love?
00:18:31Hmm.
00:18:35Barry?
00:18:37What's going on here?
00:18:38Barry and Daisy were a couple in high school.
00:18:39I 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.
00:18:59We're getting married.
00:19:01And to think I believed we could build an empire, but you were still just a little loser.
00:19:05I 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 assets.
00:19:31You, Mona, have nothing.
00:19:41Dad, you have to stop the merger and freeze all movement from our bank accounts.
00:19:47No, no, no, do it now.
00:19:49Sweetie, the funds were already withdrawn and transferred to Barry's name bank account.
00:19:54What?
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.
00:20:10That would be just too sad.
00:20:12Everyone 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.
00:20:30Hey, I'm going to fix this, okay?
00:20:31I don't know.
00:20:32You 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.
00:20:43This 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.
00:20:55What'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 Elleville.
00:21:16And not to boast, but I actually have a little announcement.
00:21:21I've just signed a deal with the Gold Queens Record Company.
00:21:24She's going to make me an international star.
00:21:27So this is the rich brat my label mentioned.
00:21:31Um, that is amazing.
00:21:34And I'm going to get free tickets.
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.
00:21:50Oh, no?
00:21:50The 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.
00:22:19Just forget about Barry.
00:22:20Barry, besides, 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.
00:22:29On 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.
00:22:38And he actually knows who I am.
00:22:39Oh, I'm sure.
00:22:41I mean, how much is he paying you to scrub his toilets?
00:22:46Of the act, Roosh.
00:22:47We see right through you.
00:22:49This name-dropping is not going to protect your pathetic reputation.
00:22:53Don't worry about mine.
00:22:54Worry about yours.
00:23:10Let's do a sweep of the hall before the governor's arrival.
00:23:12Yes, sir.
00:23:23Check over there.
00:23:24Make sure all side rooms are empty.
00:23:26Check all cell phones and make sure no bottles are uncorked.
00:23:34Bill!
00:23:35Bill, it 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.
00:23:41I 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.
00:23:48Oh.
00:23:52Ruth, what are you talking about?
00:23:54Please ignore them.
00:23:55She was supposed to be gone a long time ago.
00:23:57Okay, she's just a poor cleaner.
00:23:59Quite unfortunate, really.
00:24:02Ignore this eyesore.
00:24:03I'm sorry, who are you referring to?
00:24:06This cheap toilet scrubbing cleaner.
00:24:09She reeks budget.
00:24:11In honesty, it's giving me like an allergic reaction.
00:24:14So 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...
00:24:43people.
00:24:45Understood.
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.
00:25:02Baby, 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.
00:25:15Bill, I think there's been a little bit of a misunderstanding.
00:25:18You see, I'm in charge here, and 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.
00:25:34But 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?
00:25:40We 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.
00:25:49Oh!
00:25:50Oh!
00:25:52You insolent fool.
00:25:53How dare you speak of her like that?
00:25:58What the hell are you doing?
00:25:59Maybe, are you okay?
00:26:00Not really.
00:26:01You're all idiots.
00:26:03The 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 track, damn man.
00:26:15Shut your mouth while you're ahead.
00:26:18What'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.
00:26:27Mr. 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!
00:26:55If they don't leave the next ten seconds.
00:26:57Please, where'd it go?
00:26:58Ruth, please, let's just go before something bad happens.
00:27:01I 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, but it's not exactly my profession.
00:27:19And 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.
00:27:51I am...
00:27:52Attention, attention!
00:27:53Everyone, if 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.
00:28:14Everybody give it up for Daisy.
00:28:15Woo!
00:28:16Here we go!
00:28:18Prepare to see a real star.
00:28:26Bruce, let's just leave.
00:28:28Tired of these bullies.
00:28:30Leave now and miss out on Daisy humiliating herself?
00:28:33I've heard her sing.
00:28:35She's terrible.
00:28:36Really?
00:28:36So.
00:28:37She's terrible.
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.
00:28:57Well, otherwise why would the Gold Queen sign her to a record company?
00:29:21She can't be a part of my record company. I don't care how much she's willing to pay.
00:29:25Born to shine, born to glow. Everyone loves me. They told me so. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:29:42Woo! That was great, babe! That's my woman up there, huh?
00:29:46Wow, that was amazing.
00:29:47I actually have one more small surprise for all of you.
00:29:50Our 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.
00:30:02What are you waiting for? We want to hear your Toilet Cleaning song.
00:30:10Well, come on, Ruth. Don't be shy. I mean, you're a famous singer, right?
00:30:15Toilet, Ruth! Toilet, Ruth! Toilet, Ruth! Toilet, Ruth!
00:30:24You don't have to do this. Daisy isn't worth it.
00:30:30As we do every Friday, someone will share their talent.
00:30:34Ruth, the floor is yours.
00:30:35I'm a piece of music.
00:30:40You're a piece of music, so I'm not an opponent.
00:30:44The floor is yours.
00:30:47I'm a piece of music.
00:30:47Stars in your eyes.
00:30:50A side of her.
00:30:53I saw a world we never dared.
00:30:58And if the world turns cold at night
00:31:01I'll be your fire, I'll be your light
00:31:04And we were never meant to fall
00:31:07We were the loudest doctor
00:31:16Daisy and Barry will do whatever they can
00:31:18to make you look terrible
00:31:20Trust me, okay?
00:31:23Okay?
00:31:24For your listening pleasure
00:31:26The singing rag
00:31:36So
00:31:43Come on
00:31:44We want to know if you sound like a broom
00:31:46or only look like one too
00:32:02Stars in your eyes
00:32:05Silent prayer
00:32:08I saw a world nobody dared
00:32:14Two broken hearts and empty halls
00:32:19We were invisible
00:32:22To them all
00:32:26Stars in your eyes
00:32:29Don't let them fade
00:32:32Hold on to every dream we made
00:32:37When no one hears you, I still do
00:32:41The world will turn and look at you
00:32:44Her voice is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
00:32:57She sounds exactly like the gold queen
00:33:00That was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life
00:33:04Thank you
00:33:06Thank you
00:33:07Daisy, Ruth sounds exactly like the gold queen
00:33:10Is that really what you want to have just said to me?
00:33:14Wow
00:33:15She is really good
00:33:18Well, I don't know what that was
00:33:19But she just sounds exactly like the gold queen
00:33:23Surely you're not all gullible enough to think that she's the gold queen
00:33:27Be honest
00:33:28You used a playback, right?
00:33:30Nope
00:33:30All me
00:33:31So I'm meant to believe that
00:33:33Ruth the weirdo
00:33:34Turned 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
00:33:47Wait, isn't this a song that you just sung on stage?
00:33:50Cut it, kill 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
00:34:15How can that be?
00:34:17That means
00:34:19Just when I thought that you'd hit rock bottom, you sank lower
00:34:24Faking a phone call with someone who wouldn't even give you the time of day?
00:34:28You're a fraud
00:34:29And 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
00:34:36If 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
00:35:01I'm begging you
00:35:03I
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
00:35:15Yeah, how would you explain the phone call?
00:35:18Obviously it was a fake call
00:35:20And 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 to 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, yeah
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
00:36:56I think it's time you get out now
00:36:58Nobody wants you here
00:37:08Something
00:37:09Unimbled
00:37:10Delete
00:37:13I think it's time you get out now
00:37:13I don't regret anything
00:37:13Don't regret it
00:37:17Don't regret anything
00:37:17You're up for my family
00:37:19But this
00:37:20You took the pain
00:37:20I don't have time
00:37:20And i've felt
00:37:20I frankly
00:37:21I can't help you
00:37:28It's Jonathan Peters.
00:37:30Oh my god, he is so hot.
00:37:42Thank you for the invitation.
00:37:44It is lovely to see you all.
00:37:46Of course.
00:37:46We 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.
00:38:09Now she feels all this rage because she is no better than a pathetic floor rag.
00:38:14Ruth, a floor rag.
00:38:17Actually, 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.
00:38:25I 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.
00:38:31And I won't let you talk to her like that any longer.
00:38:35But, Johnny, I...
00:38:36Um, Governor Peters, when I invited you here...
00:38:41I only came here tonight because of her invitation.
00:38:50Johnny, surely you remember my best friend Mona?
00:38:55Wow.
00:38:57Mona, I...
00:38:58I...
00:38:58I didn't recognize you.
00:39:00You...
00:39:00You look incredible.
00:39:04So, Johnny, about that favor you owe me.
00:39:08What do you think about paying it back by...
00:39:11Taking this beautiful lady on a date?
00:39:13Ruth, stop.
00:39:15You are 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.
00:39:25If you'll have me.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:28Is somebody going to explain to me
00:39:29why we're sucking up to the cleaning lady?
00:39:33Your call, Ruth.
00:39:36Ruth is the most powerful woman in the world,
00:39:39controlling industries that you could only dream of.
00:39:41In fact, there's not a single person on this planet
00:39:44that doesn't know her or her voice.
00:39:47What?
00:39:49You want to tell them?
00:39:52I am the Gold Queen.
00:39:54Huh?
00:39:54Ruth's the Gold Queen?
00:39:56I mean, I can't say I'm surprised.
00:39:59You have always been the most talented person
00:40:02I have ever known.
00:40:04They 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
00:40:13and made me dream even bigger.
00:40:14You see, all you did was make me unstoppable.
00:40:19So thank you for the motivation.
00:40:21Ruth.
00:40:22Baby girl.
00:40:23You know, we were just teasing you, right?
00:40:26Something kids do?
00:40:27I feel like we all agree
00:40:28that the best course of action
00:40:30is to close that chapter
00:40:32and preserve those precious childhood memories
00:40:34for all of us.
00:40:35Well, Daisy,
00:40:36I'm not interested in those memories.
00:40:39Especially if you were in them.
00:40:43Barry,
00:40:43you have 24 hours to give back
00:40:45everything you took from Mona.
00:40:47Otherwise, the governor here
00:40:48is going to make sure you get arrested for fraud.
00:40:51You heard the lady.
00:40:55Tomorrow,
00:40:55a special performance will be held
00:40:57at the City Theater
00:40:58in honor of my visit to Alville
00:40:59and me finally reuniting
00:41:01with my bestie.
00:41:03Woo!
00:41:06That is,
00:41:07only those who didn't vote against us
00:41:08leaving or behave like a bully
00:41:10in high school will be invited.
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
00:41:27for so long
00:41:28and I've been wanting to hear
00:41:29everything that's been going on
00:41:30with you, too.
00:41:32But first,
00:41:32we have to go get dresses.
00:41:33Yes!
00:41:34And I won't let you two
00:41:35miss out on each other again.
00:41:40Thank you, bestie.
00:41:50So,
00:41:51you like Thai food?
00:41:52How did you know?
00:41:55Mutual acquaintance told me.
00:41:57Finally!
00:42:06Ew!
00:42:08Take your filthy hands
00:42:09off that dress!
00:42:11Ruth?
00:42:12Surely,
00:42:13right?
00:42:13You were on the debate team
00:42:15with Mona.
00:42:16I was.
00:42:17What are you doing here?
00:42:19This is my mother's store.
00:42:20We specialize in
00:42:22super luxurious dresses.
00:42:23So, you shouldn't touch them
00:42:25with your disgusting hands.
00:42:27They cost more than what
00:42:28you'll probably make
00:42:29in a lifetime.
00:42:30I suggest you not
00:42:32discriminate against me
00:42:33based on what I'm wearing.
00:42:35Mom?
00:42:36Yes, honey?
00:42:37Mom, remember
00:42:38the state debates?
00:42:39That girl who
00:42:40spent the whole final round
00:42:42crying in a locked
00:42:43bathroom stall?
00:42:44How could I forget?
00:42:46She basically handed you
00:42:47that trophy
00:42:47on a silver platter.
00:42:48It was you
00:42:50who locked her
00:42:50in the bathroom
00:42:50that day.
00:42:51She didn't get accepted
00:42:53to the college she wanted
00:42:54because of your stupid prank.
00:42:56Yep, it was me.
00:42:58Such a fun memory.
00:43:01Why would you do that?
00:43:02Because that's how
00:43:03winners behave.
00:43:04That's exactly
00:43:05what my daughter is.
00:43:06A winner.
00:43:07Some are winners
00:43:08like me
00:43:09and some are losers
00:43:11like you and Mona.
00:43:13It's just how
00:43:13the world works.
00:43:14Mona is not a loser.
00:43:16She's actually
00:43:17an insanely successful
00:43:18businesswoman.
00:43:19In fact,
00:43:20I'm here to buy her
00:43:21a dress for the
00:43:21Gold Queen's concert.
00:43:24Sure, yeah.
00:43:26And I'm the
00:43:26Queen of England.
00:43:27You know, I heard
00:43:28Jonathan Peters
00:43:29was invited to the
00:43:30VIP section
00:43:31of the concert tomorrow.
00:43:32I'm sure as soon
00:43:34as he sees you,
00:43:35you will conquer his heart
00:43:36and become the richest
00:43:37woman in the country.
00:43:40I promise you
00:43:41you're not getting
00:43:41into that concert.
00:43:42Oh, did you hear
00:43:44that, Shirley?
00:43:44The cleaner says
00:43:45she won't let you in.
00:43:47Oh, I'm trembling.
00:43:49What's she gonna do,
00:43:50block the door
00:43:50with her duster?
00:43:52I'm just saying,
00:43:53save yourselves
00:43:54the embarrassment
00:43:55and don't even show up.
00:43:56Who the fuck
00:43:57do 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
00:44:06to buy a dress here anymore.
00:44:08Not so fast.
00:44:09You already touched
00:44:11the dresses
00:44:11with your dirty hands.
00:44:13You'll have to pay
00:44:14for every single dress
00:44:15you touched.
00:44:16Otherwise,
00:44:17I'll be forced
00:44:18to call the police.
00:44:19Have you lost your mind?
00:44:21Security!
00:44:23Get that thief.
00:44:27You're making
00:44:28a big mistake.
00:44:30Boo-hoo,
00:44:31I'm shaking.
00:44:32You know,
00:44:33it's ironic
00:44:34that you sell
00:44:35luxury goods
00:44:35when you're both
00:44:36so cheap yourselves.
00:44:40You and your mother
00:44:41are gonna pay
00:44:41for what you did
00:44:42to Mona
00:44:42and how you treated
00:44:43me today.
00:44:44Mom, help.
00:44:47Mom, help the cleaners
00:44:49after me
00:44:49with her dustpan.
00:44:53Last chance, loser.
00:44:55Pay up.
00:44:57You won't receive
00:44:57a single cent from me.
00:44:59Not now
00:45:00and not ever.
00:45:01You'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
00:45:12your Windex or...
00:45:16Oh, no.
00:45:17I forgot to take it
00:45:18out of my bag
00:45:19after 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!
00:45:31Don't touch me.
00:45:35Back off.
00:45:37Why aren't you grabbing her?
00:45:39Because she stole the mask.
00:45:41I bet you snuck
00:45:42into her room
00:45:42at the hotel
00:45:43you're working in
00:45:44and you stole it
00:45:46so you could sell it
00:45:46for a couple dollars.
00:45:48Shirley,
00:45:49you could give that
00:45:50to the Gold Queen yourself
00:45:51and who knows,
00:45:52maybe thanks to you
00:45:53she'll come in
00:45:54and buy some dresses.
00:45:55Oh, my God, Mom.
00:45:56You really think
00:45:57that could happen?
00:45:58I'm sure of it, sweetheart.
00:46:01What exactly
00:46:02are you laughing about?
00:46:03You're one step away
00:46:04from prison.
00:46:05There's just one small
00:46:06problem with your plan.
00:46:08What is that exactly?
00:46:10The Gold Queen
00:46:10would never come
00:46:11near this door
00:46:12ever again.
00:46:14Again?
00:46:15Considering you just
00:46:16kicked her out.
00:46:19I am the Gold Queen.
00:46:23This woman is crazy.
00:46:26We run the most elite
00:46:27boutique 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
00:46:34your world-class service
00:46:35with my followers.
00:46:37Go ahead.
00:46:39I'd love to see
00:46:40the three likes you get
00:46:41from your fellow janitors.
00:46:44Okay, let's see what the world
00:46:46thinks of your so-called
00:46:47status.
00:46:49This should be fun
00:46:49to watch.
00:46:54Hey, my dear Gold fans.
00:46:56I wanted to warn you
00:46:57about this boutique store
00:46:58where quality is low
00:47:00and standards are even lower.
00:47:04And done.
00:47:05You're absolutely pathetic.
00:47:07We all know
00:47:08nothing's gonna happen.
00:47:16What the fuck?
00:47:20What?
00:47:21Fashion Week
00:47:22just cancelled
00:47:22our partnership.
00:47:27Mom, what's going on?
00:47:29Another stylist
00:47:30just cancelled fittings
00:47:31for the Oscars.
00:47:32Check our app
00:47:33for all of our
00:47:33scheduled fittings.
00:47:37Oh, fuck!
00:47:38We're ruined.
00:47:40Everyone's cancelled.
00:47:42Oh, my God.
00:47:44You are the Gold Queen.
00:47:46No, Mom.
00:47:47No way.
00:47:47It can't be.
00:47:48Shut up, Shirley.
00:47:48It's her.
00:47:50Please forgive my daughter.
00:47:51She didn't know
00:47:52who she was talking to.
00:47:53You'll get no pity
00:47:54from me.
00:47:55Especially after
00:47:56how you treated
00:47:57my bestie.
00:47:59What did she do to me?
00:48:01Oh, my God.
00:48:02That's Governor
00:48:03Jonathan Peters.
00:48:04Oh, shit.
00:48:05That's Mona.
00:48:06What is going on here?
00:48:07Mona, Mona.
00:48:08Please forgive me.
00:48:09Okay?
00:48:09I knew if I let you
00:48:10compete in that debate,
00:48:11I'd never win.
00:48:12I had to get
00:48:13that scholarship.
00:48:14What?
00:48:14Do you remember
00:48:15the bathroom door
00:48:16that wouldn't open
00:48:17that day?
00:48:17She's the reason
00:48:18you were locked
00:48:19in the bathroom.
00:48:19That's why you never made it.
00:48:20I always wondered why.
00:48:22You were the best
00:48:23and yet you never
00:48:23made it to the finals.
00:48:25It was you?
00:48:27You locked me in?
00:48:30That day changed
00:48:31my entire life.
00:48:33Everything that I planned,
00:48:35every dream I had
00:48:36of leaving this city
00:48:38vanished because of you.
00:48:40And now,
00:48:41it's her turn
00:48:43to see her world crumble.
00:48:44I've already made the post.
00:48:46No one's going to set foot
00:48:47in this boutique
00:48:48ever again.
00:48:49Please,
00:48:50Gold Queen,
00:48:51I'm begging you
00:48:52to delete that post.
00:48:53This door is all we have.
00:48:55and Shirley is a loser.
00:48:57She can't find work
00:48:58anywhere else.
00:48:59We'll be out
00:49:00on the street.
00:49:01I'm begging you,
00:49:02please have mercy.
00:49:06Ruth,
00:49:08delete the post.
00:49:09Let them keep their store.
00:49:12Having to live
00:49:13with themselves
00:49:13is enough punishment.
00:49:15Wow.
00:49:16You have an incredible heart,
00:49:18Mona.
00:49:19Most people would have
00:49:20chosen revenge
00:49:21and yet
00:49:22you chose grace.
00:49:25It's done.
00:49:27You both are lucky
00:49:28she has more mercy
00:49:29than I do.
00:49:34Let's go, guys.
00:49:44Ruth,
00:49:45about the concert tomorrow.
00:49:47There's something
00:49:48I need to ask you
00:49:49and I know
00:49:49it's a lot
00:49:50so feel free to say no.
00:49:52but
00:49:53would you mind
00:49:54inviting my parents
00:49:56to the concert?
00:49:58Ruth,
00:49:59I know
00:49:59that they didn't
00:50:00accept you back then
00:50:01and
00:50:01they tried to keep us apart
00:50:03but
00:50:04if you could just
00:50:05give them another chance
00:50:06it would mean
00:50:07everything to me.
00:50:10I want them to see you
00:50:11the way
00:50:11I always have.
00:50:14Of course, Mona.
00:50:16What's important to you
00:50:17is important to me.
00:50:21I really, really
00:50:22appreciate it.
00:50:27But
00:50:27don't tell them
00:50:28who I am just yet.
00:50:29Leave that to me.
00:50:31When we finally meet
00:50:32I want them to see
00:50:33for themselves
00:50:34that
00:50:34I was never
00:50:35the bad influence
00:50:36they thought I was.
00:50:37Of course.
00:50:43I'm just so happy
00:50:44that you both
00:50:45are going to be there
00:50:45tomorrow.
00:50:46Two of my favorite
00:50:47people
00:50:47right in the front row.
00:50:50All right.
00:50:51Let's go shopping.
00:50:52Yay!
00:50:54I 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
00:51:10so much time
00:51:11on that idiot, Barry.
00:51:13Yeah, Barry sucks.
00:51:14He always has.
00:51:16Yeah.
00:51:16But look at how Jonathan,
00:51:18the quiet, gentle guy
00:51:19from high school
00:51:19turned out to be
00:51:20the successful,
00:51:22beloved governor.
00:51:23And what about you, Ruth?
00:51:24I mean, look at you.
00:51:27I am so proud of you.
00:51:30I mean, who would have
00:51:31believed that you would
00:51:32become the most
00:51:33successful singer
00:51:33in the world?
00:51:34I can hardly believe
00:51:35it myself.
00:51:37It's like I'm
00:51:38two different people.
00:51:39First, there's Ruth,
00:51:41the freak or invisible girl
00:51:43that has to fight
00:51:43just to get noticed.
00:51:45And then,
00:51:45there's the gold queen.
00:51:47So dazzling,
00:51:49she blinds everyone.
00:51:51I honestly can't believe
00:51:53the scale it's reached.
00:51:54It's crazy.
00:51:55It's amazing.
00:51:58But,
00:51:59I am curious.
00:52:01Why do you wear that mask
00:52:02when you go on stage?
00:52:08I created the gold queen
00:52:10for myself.
00:52:11Because,
00:52:12I thought deep down
00:52:14that if I went out there
00:52:15just the way I am,
00:52:16I'd still be invisible.
00:52:19But,
00:52:20you are so beautiful
00:52:21and powerful, Ruth.
00:52:24If you went out on stage
00:52:25just like that,
00:52:27the 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
00:52:35to see you,
00:52:35to just realize
00:52:37how wrong they were
00:52:38about you all those years.
00:52:39I wouldn't get your hopes up.
00:52:41They never liked me.
00:52:43And,
00:52:44I never interested why.
00:52:46Yeah,
00:52:46but that was a long time ago.
00:52:48And like we said,
00:52:49we're not in high school anymore.
00:52:54There they are.
00:52:57They are in the VIP room.
00:53:00Should we go say hi?
00:53:01Are you sure about this?
00:53:03I'm sure.
00:53:05Fine.
00:53:07Let's do this.
00:53:08Let's do this.
00:53:09I just hope this goes smoothly.
00:53:12Hey, Mom!
00:53:14Oh.
00:53:16Dad?
00:53:18You look wonderful.
00:53:20You look incredible, Mona.
00:53:22Where did you get that outfit?
00:53:24Um, actually,
00:53:25Ruth gave it to me.
00:53:27Say hello to Ruth.
00:53:31You remember her?
00:53:32What is she doing here?
00:53:33She's here because...
00:53:35We made it clear a long time ago
00:53:36we don't approve of this relationship
00:53:38between you two.
00:53:39Dad, wait.
00:53:40She isn't here for no reason.
00:53:42She's obvious why she's here.
00:53:44As usual,
00:53:45she's looking for a way
00:53:46to exploit your status.
00:53:48But to show up
00:53:49at a Gold Queen event with you?
00:53:51The 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.
00:54:16It's hopeless.
00:54:17Friend?
00:54:18Come on.
00:54:19You were from a respectable family.
00:54:21Well, she was just the daughter
00:54:23of a struggling single mother.
00:54:26She 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,
00:54:32but she gave me everything I needed.
00:54:35She made me feel worthy.
00:54:37Look at what you're wearing
00:54:38to the biggest concert
00:54:40Elleville 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,
00:54:59after all these years,
00:55:00she came popping back into her life.
00:55:02Because, Mom,
00:55:03we had our class reunion yesterday.
00:55:05She actually traveled a long way
00:55:07just to see me.
00:55:09She was at the reunion?
00:55:10Let me guess.
00:55:11She's the reason the merger
00:55:12didn't go through with Barry.
00:55:14You should be happy
00:55:15that the wedding is off.
00:55:16Happy?
00:55:17We were on our way
00:55:18to becoming the most successful company
00:55:19in this city,
00:55:20and you destroyed everything.
00:55:22No, Jack.
00:55:23It was Barry who destroyed everything.
00:55:25He's a despicable cheater
00:55:27who treated your daughter like trash.
00:55:29There you go again.
00:55:31Once again,
00:55:32making her believe
00:55:33that you are the only one
00:55:35good enough for her.
00:55:36Doing what?
00:55:37It's exactly what you did
00:55:39back in high school.
00:55:40You ruined every chance
00:55:41Mona ever had
00:55:42of having good high school memories.
00:55:45Mom!
00:55:46It's true.
00:55:48Everyone stayed away from Mona
00:55:50because of you.
00:55:51I may be the daughter
00:55:52of the wealthy,
00:55:53respectable Robyns family,
00:55:55but you know what?
00:55:55To everyone else,
00:55:56I was just a freak.
00:55:57That's because you kept
00:55:58hanging out with her.
00:55:59If you'd listened to us
00:56:00and cut her off like we said,
00:56:02everything would have been fine.
00:56:03You know what?
00:56:04As a young girl,
00:56:06I wanted so badly
00:56:08for you to accept me.
00:56:09I was actually jealous of Mona
00:56:11for having a real family,
00:56:13for having everything.
00:56:15But then I quickly realized
00:56:17who you really are.
00:56:19self-centered parents
00:56:20who never truly saw
00:56:21their own daughter.
00:56:23All you ever cared about
00:56:24was your money and status.
00:56:26How dare you,
00:56:26you insolent rat!
00:56:28My mother may have struggled,
00:56:30but she never struggled
00:56:31to see me,
00:56:32to support me,
00:56:33to be there for me.
00:56:35Somehow,
00:56:36the house that seemed
00:56:37to have nothing
00:56:38like you all said
00:56:40actually had everything
00:56:41I needed.
00:56:46Don't you dare touch her,
00:56:47Dad.
00:56:49It's okay.
00:56:54I invited you here
00:56:55because you're
00:56:56Mona's parents
00:56:56and because she's
00:56:58my best friend.
00:56:59I clearly,
00:57:00I 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,
00:57:08I am a human being
00:57:09that deserves
00:57:10to be treated
00:57:10with respect.
00:57:12You don't deserve
00:57:13our respect.
00:57:14We are the guests
00:57:15of honor
00:57:15of the Gold Queen
00:57:16and Jonathan Peters.
00:57:18You don't even belong here.
00:57:20Get out now.
00:57:22I had hoped
00:57:23I could forgive you both
00:57:24for trying to tear me away
00:57:26from my best friend.
00:57:27But you know what?
00:57:29You've run out of chances.
00:57:31You have no idea
00:57:32how big a mistake
00:57:33you just made.
00:57:34I think it's time
00:57:36you knew.
00:57:36You're only here
00:57:37because I invited you.
00:57:44I am the Gold Queen.
00:57:46What?
00:57:49You are completely
00:57:51out of your mind.
00:57:52You expect us
00:57:53to believe
00:57:54that this poor girl
00:57:55is the most successful
00:57:56singer in the world?
00:57:58Impossible.
00:57:59It's true, Mom.
00:58:00Ruth proved
00:58:01that talent and drive
00:58:03are so much stronger
00:58:04than any status.
00:58:06She climbed to the top
00:58:07all on her own
00:58:08while everyone else
00:58:10was too busy
00:58:11looking down on her.
00:58:14Thank you, Mona.
00:58:16But look at you.
00:58:18The girl the kids
00:58:19tried to break back then.
00:58:20The one they laughed at.
00:58:22You proved
00:58:23just how brilliant
00:58:24and powerful
00:58:25you really are.
00:58:27I guess the two losers
00:58:28from high school
00:58:29ended up leaving
00:58:30everyone else in the dust.
00:58:31Huh.
00:58:32Yep.
00:58:33Make that three losers.
00:58:37Oh my God,
00:58:38it's Jonathan Peters!
00:58:40Hey, beautiful.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:42I missed you.
00:58:43I missed you too.
00:58:46Um,
00:58:47am I late?
00:58:48Not at all.
00:58:49You're right on time.
00:58:50Governor Peters,
00:58:51it's an honor.
00:58:52My name is Jack
00:58:53and this is my wife Linda.
00:58:55We're Ramona's parents
00:58:56and special guests
00:58:57of the Gold Queen.
00:58:58I would love to sit
00:58:59and talk with you later
00:59:00maybe about some business?
00:59:01Absolutely not, Dad.
00:59:04Jonathan and I
00:59:04are here to enjoy
00:59:05a concert together.
00:59:08No business.
00:59:11Ruth,
00:59:11the crowd's getting impatient.
00:59:12Let's go.
00:59:13One second.
00:59:17I don't understand
00:59:18what's going on here.
00:59:19What is there
00:59:20to understand, Dad?
00:59:22Ruth,
00:59:23the friend that you
00:59:24humiliated,
00:59:25shamed,
00:59:25and insulted
00:59:26over and over again.
00:59:27Oh, and the only person
00:59:29who ever believed in me
00:59:30when no one else did?
00:59:31Yeah, she
00:59:32is the Gold Queen.
00:59:34The most successful singer
00:59:35on the planet.
00:59:37I'm so sorry.
00:59:39We didn't know.
00:59:41We tried to tell you
00:59:43but your arrogance,
00:59:45your vanity,
00:59:45the shallow way
00:59:48that you judge people
00:59:49made you blind.
00:59:51You didn't only miss out
00:59:52on a massive opportunity
00:59:53with the Gold Queen.
00:59:55You lost me, too.
01:00:01Come on.
01:00:07Gold Queen!
01:00:08Gold Queen!
01:00:09Gold Queen!
01:00:10Gold Queen!
01:00:11Gold Queen!
01:00:12Gold Queen!
01:00:13Good evening, Alveld.
01:00:16This is my first
01:00:18and hopefully not
01:00:19my last concert
01:00:20here in my hometown.
01:00:21But you know,
01:00:23yesterday afternoon,
01:00:24I did something
01:00:25I thought I'd never
01:00:26have the courage to do.
01:00:28I performed
01:00:29at my high school reunion,
01:00:31but without this mask,
01:00:34it was just me.
01:00:36I was just Ruth.
01:00:38It was a strange
01:00:39and yet incredible feeling
01:00:41to finally be seen.
01:00:43But then I realized
01:00:44I was never
01:00:46actually invisible.
01:00:48I always had
01:00:49my best friend Mona
01:00:50by my side.
01:00:51She saw me,
01:00:53truly saw me,
01:00:54all along.
01:00:56Sometimes,
01:00:56all you need
01:00:57is one true friend
01:00:58to finally believe in you.
01:01:01So, Mona,
01:01:02thank you.
01:01:04I love you.
01:01:06I couldn't have asked
01:01:07for a better best friend.
01:01:09And I think
01:01:10it's about time
01:01:11to finally say goodbye
01:01:12to my golden mask.
01:01:13No freaking way.
01:01:15What do you guys think?
01:01:43I'm still a queen,
01:01:44right?
01:01:49Casey!
01:02:05Stars in your eyes,
01:02:08a silent prayer.
01:02:11I saw a world nobody dared
01:02:16Two broken hearts in empty halls
01:02:21We were invisible to them all
01:02:28They laughed out loud, we stayed quiet
01:02:34We built a place they couldn't find
01:02:40And every tear and every scar
01:02:43We swore we'd make it who we are
01:02:46If they don't see us now
01:02:49They will someday
01:02:51Stars in your eyes, don't let them fade
01:02:58Hold on to every dream we made
