00:00:00Make us small, but we were made to rise up.
00:00:04Love it all!
00:00:05Where everything they couldn't see,
00:00:09now they're watching you and me.
00:00:13All the dreams we held on to are finally breaking through.
00:00:26Encore in two.
00:00:28Not today.
00:00:29I have my high school reunion, remember?
00:00:31What?
00:00:33I'm finally gonna see my best friend.
00:00:41Wait, the exit's swollen with fans. Your identity.
00:00:48Hmm, I have an idea.
00:00:51No, hold up!
00:00:53Hey, back up!
00:00:56It's not her.
00:00:57It's not her.
00:00:58It's not her.
00:00:58Where is she?
00:00:59Go away!
00:01:12Hey!
00:01:14Go on, get back inside and make sure it's spotless.
00:01:16Oh no, I forgot to bring my bag with my dress.
00:01:20Ruth?
00:01:23Ruth Davenport?
00:01:23Barry, not you.
00:01:25Hi, Barry.
00:01:26Wow!
00:01:28You became a cleaner!
00:01:30How sad.
00:01:32Yeah, it's great to see you too.
00:01:34Bye.
00:01:34Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:01:35Hey, hey!
00:01:37You are not going in there.
00:01:39So just walk away with what little dignity you have left.
00:01:43As far as I know, this is our class reunion, which means I have every right to be here.
00:01:50Well, I was the one who organized it, so I decide who gets to come in.
00:01:54This isn't high school anymore, Barry, so I'm going to go inside where I'm going to have fun with my
00:01:59best friend Mona, and you're not going to stop me.
00:02:02Mona?
00:02:04Mona?
00:02:05You think the future heiress of Psychus, a company worth millions, wants to talk to you.
00:02:10A cleaner.
00:02:13You know what, boys? Let's go.
00:02:14Come on.
00:02:14Get her out of here.
00:02:16Hey, let go of me!
00:02:18You, Ruth, are not getting in there.
00:02:21Let go of me, you jerks!
00:02:34Ruth?
00:02:37Let go of her!
00:02:39Right now!
00:02:41Sorry, son, sorry about that.
00:02:42I bet.
00:02:44Alright, go get him.
00:02:48Bethy!
00:02:49What?
00:02:52Hi!
00:02:53Hi!
00:02:53I can't believe you're actually here!
00:02:56It's been so long.
00:02:57Honestly, I just came to see you.
00:02:59I missed you so much, Mona.
00:03:04And I see you have met my fiancé.
00:03:11She's engaged to that scumbag?
00:03:14Um, congratulations.
00:03:17I know you remember Barry as, well, not the nicest kid in school, but I promise he has
00:03:23changed so much.
00:03:24No, he hasn't.
00:03:25Look, if you just give him a chance, you'll see it for yourself.
00:03:28Right?
00:03:29Uh, sweetie, um, I think with your new social status, you don't have to bother explaining
00:03:36yourself to losers like her, so...
00:03:39What did you just say?
00:03:41Ruth is my best friend.
00:03:43She is a cleaner, Mona.
00:03:45Stop getting so emotional.
00:03:47It is embarrassing just being seen talking to her.
00:03:49She does not have a place at our table.
00:03:51You have no idea how right you are, Barry.
00:03:54I don't belong at your table.
00:03:56I belong at the head of it.
00:03:58So, Ruth, get out of here before you cause more drama.
00:04:02Barry!
00:04:04Ruth is my soulmate.
00:04:06I honestly don't know if I would have survived high school without her.
00:04:15Seriously, Mona?
00:04:19Taken, freak.
00:04:22Hey, there's a spot over here.
00:04:28Thanks.
00:04:31I'm Mona.
00:04:33I'm Ruth.
00:04:36Mona, you're the freaking heiress of Psychus, okay?
00:04:40You and I, baby, we are going to run this town.
00:04:42We can't waste our time on losers like her.
00:04:47But, Barry...
00:04:48If you really want to start your life with me,
00:04:50you get Ruth to leave now.
00:04:57Tell Ruth to leave now.
00:05:00You cannot really be considering letting her in.
00:05:03Our whole class is going to be there, including Jonathan Peters.
00:05:06Do you really think the governor is going to take you seriously
00:05:09when he sees that your best friend is a cleaner?
00:05:12Please, stop.
00:05:13I think Jonathan will be thrilled to see me.
00:05:16Oh.
00:05:17Barry, remember our one condition for our marriage?
00:05:21And the merger?
00:05:22Don't.
00:05:23Our company's motto is people before profit.
00:05:29Sure.
00:05:31Ruth is clearly not rich and is a cleaner.
00:05:33But not everyone is born with a silver spoon.
00:05:36She only had a single mother to raise her.
00:05:39And what's most important is that she is a good person.
00:05:42The best person I know.
00:05:46Mona, you don't have to defend me.
00:05:49As for you, Barry, you need to accept the fact that Mona and I are best friends.
00:05:53And that you have no idea who I really am.
00:05:57Who you really are?
00:06:00You're a pathetic cleaner. That's who you really are.
00:06:02Maybe I should just tell Mona who I really am.
00:06:05Then she won't have to deal with all this bullshit anymore.
00:06:08Hey, Mila. Come here.
00:06:10I think it's about time that you know something about me.
00:06:17No, Ruth. Look.
00:06:19You don't need to explain yourself.
00:06:21There is nothing wrong with being a cleaner.
00:06:25Treat Ruth with respect.
00:06:27That is, if you still want to marry me.
00:06:31Okay.
00:06:35So, what do you say, Barry?
00:06:40Oh.
00:06:43You know, you're going to have to hold that thought because this is Jonathan's assistant.
00:06:46I have to take this.
00:06:47Hello?
00:06:49Hello?
00:06:49Hello, Barry.
00:06:50Yes, thank you for returning my call.
00:06:52I just wanted to confirm that Governor Peters is able to join us today.
00:06:55It'll be such an honor to have him with us.
00:06:57I know he's busy, but...
00:06:58Unfortunately, Mr. Peters had another arrangement pop up.
00:07:02He won't be able to make it to the high school reunion tonight.
00:07:06He sends his deepest regrets.
00:07:11Okay, Barry, it's me.
00:07:13It's me.
00:07:14Okay.
00:07:16I am really sorry about him.
00:07:18I know he seems really aggressive, but he does care about me.
00:07:22He's just nervous about the merger.
00:07:24I have to say something.
00:07:25She cannot marry this man.
00:07:27Mona, are you actually happy with him?
00:07:34You know how many women would love to be in my position?
00:07:37And do you know how many men would love to switch places with Barry?
00:07:42Jonathan Peters, for example?
00:07:45Jonathan?
00:07:46No, no.
00:07:47He is one of the richest, most powerful sought-after people in the country.
00:07:50There's no way.
00:07:51He is so out of my league.
00:07:53I highly doubt that.
00:07:55Don't you remember when he was head over heels in love with you?
00:07:59Do I know this one?
00:08:00This one I know.
00:08:02This one I don't.
00:08:04Oh, no.
00:08:05Ruth, we have to study if we fail this debate final because of you.
00:08:08Just one more verse.
00:08:12And when the lights were gone, we found a way to carry on.
00:08:23And if the world turns cold tonight, I'll be your fire, I'll be your light.
00:08:29For God's sake, just kiss already.
00:08:36He was so into you.
00:08:38That was high school.
00:08:39Well, Jonathan can't make it.
00:08:41This is...
00:08:42I cannot believe this.
00:08:44I'll handle it.
00:08:46You know, I think the cleaning fumes have rotted your brain cells, Ruth.
00:08:55Get the governor, please.
00:08:56You don't have to do this.
00:08:59It's no problem at all.
00:09:05Sir, it's the Gold Queen.
00:09:07Ruth.
00:09:10Hey, Jonathan.
00:09:12Whatever else you're doing can wait.
00:09:14Come to the event hall immediately.
00:09:15Of course, I'll be there.
00:09:16Great.
00:09:17See you soon.
00:09:19Well, Jonathan said he's on his way.
00:09:21Oh.
00:09:22Yeah, right.
00:09:23He said he had plans.
00:09:24Okay.
00:09:25Right.
00:09:25And he canceled them for me.
00:09:28He owes me.
00:09:30Owes you.
00:09:31The only person he owes is the Gold Queen.
00:09:33He would have lost that election if she hadn't publicly posted her support for him.
00:09:36I left the Gold Queen.
00:09:38She was amazing.
00:09:39Just stop, okay?
00:09:40Just stop acting like you're some kind of big shot.
00:09:42We see right through it.
00:09:44Well, no, come on.
00:09:44Let's go inside.
00:09:45Hey, Barry.
00:09:46What?
00:09:46You're going to be receiving a call in three, two, one.
00:09:57Oh.
00:09:59Bill?
00:10:00Yes.
00:10:01Governor Peters is-
00:10:02Oh, wonderful.
00:10:03We are so thrilled that he'll be joining us.
00:10:05Thank you so much.
00:10:06Oh, thank God.
00:10:10How did you-
00:10:11She didn't do shit, okay?
00:10:12Don't buy into this.
00:10:14The important thing is, he's going to show up.
00:10:17So you, me, and him will get a picture together and everyone will invest in our company.
00:10:21Yeah.
00:10:23Um, how did you do that?
00:10:26Or everything they couldn't see.
00:10:28Now they're watching you and me.
00:10:38That's a Gold Queen lyric.
00:10:40No.
00:10:42You can't be-
00:10:45You're the Gold Queen?
00:10:48There's no way.
00:10:50Oh, come on, Mona.
00:10:51She didn't have anything to do with this.
00:10:53It is purely a coincidence.
00:10:55I mean, Ruth does have the most beautiful voice I know.
00:10:57She's a cleaner.
00:10:58Enough with this nonsense.
00:11:00There's no chance that's her.
00:11:02We need to go inside to get ready for the future president.
00:11:06You stay out here.
00:11:07Wait!
00:11:08Wait.
00:11:09I'm not going in without Ruth.
00:11:12Either you let her in, or I'm leaving.
00:11:22Fine.
00:11:24Come on in.
00:11:26Have a drink.
00:11:26But you keep your distance and under no circumstances.
00:11:30No circumstances.
00:11:32No circumstances.
00:11:33Does she talk with Jonathan Peters?
00:11:35No circumstances.
00:11:37Oh, Barry.
00:11:39You're in for a very big surprise.
00:11:44I'll see you inside in a bit.
00:11:46Hey, get us a drink.
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:56I can't believe I spent my high school years trying to fit in with them.
00:11:59If only they know who I am now.
00:12:01Hey, throw this away and get me another glass of wine.
00:12:05Libby Hathaway.
00:12:06Some witches never change.
00:12:08Do it yourself.
00:12:10Wait.
00:12:11Where do you think you're going?
00:12:13Just, like, do your fucking job.
00:12:19I'm a guest here, not the help.
00:12:22Or are you too drunk to remember your own classmate?
00:12:24I think I would recognize someone I went to high school with.
00:12:27She doesn't even remember me.
00:12:29Well, I remember you perfectly.
00:12:32Sadly, you haven't changed a bit.
00:12:35Excuse me?
00:12:37Whatever.
00:12:37I'm gonna go find Mona.
00:12:39I think that Mona wouldn't want to be seen with someone like you.
00:12:44Okay?
00:12:44So now, just toss this and grab me a drink.
00:13:00When Jonathan arrives, we have to get photos with him immediately so we can lead them to the press.
00:13:04Sir, can you hold so, please?
00:13:10Ruth?
00:13:11Hey, hey, hey.
00:13:12Do not get involved in that high school nonsense, okay?
00:13:15Now, pull yourself together.
00:13:18And smile.
00:13:19My friendship with Ruth isn't some high school nonsense.
00:13:23She is like family to me.
00:13:25What do you not understand?
00:13:35Don't be afraid of her.
00:13:37Don't be afraid of her.
00:13:38Don't be afraid of her.
00:13:39All right.
00:13:40That's it.
00:13:40I am done with this.
00:13:44Are you on your way?

00:35:40Mm.
00:35:41Mm.
00:35:42Mm.
00:35:43Mm.
00:35:44It's Jonathan Peters.
00:35:45Oh, my God.
00:35:46He is so hot.
00:35:58Thank you for the invitation. It is lovely to see you all.
00:36:01Of course. We are so honored you decided to come.
00:36:05I came as fast as I could.
00:36:07Hello, Johnny.
00:36:09Johnny?
00:36:11Johnny, this isn't high school anymore, okay?
00:36:14He is the governor, in case you haven't noticed.
00:36:16So show him some respect.
00:36:18Governor Peters, I am so sorry about her.
00:36:21As you can see, the years since high school have not been kind to her.
00:36:24And now she feels all this rage because she is no better than a pathetic floor rag.
00:36:30Ruth.
00:36:31A floor rag?
00:36:32Actually, floor rag is too beautiful of a description.
00:36:35I'd say she's more like a walking, stinking trash can.
00:36:39That's more appropriate.
00:36:40I suggest you choose your next words very carefully, Barry.
00:36:43You're right about one thing.
00:36:44We aren't in high school anymore.
00:36:46And I won't let you talk to her like that any longer.
00:36:51But, Johnny, I, um, Governor Peters, when I invited you here...
00:36:56I only came here tonight because of her invitation.
00:37:06Johnny, surely you remember my best friend, Mona?
00:37:10Wow.
00:37:12Mona, I, I, I didn't recognize you.
00:37:15You, you look incredible.
00:37:20So, Johnny, how about that favor you owe me?
00:37:23What do you think about paying it back by taking this beautiful lady on a date?
00:37:29Ruth, stop.
00:37:31You're embarrassing me right now.
00:37:33It wouldn't be a favor.
00:37:36It would be my honor, Mona.
00:37:38I would love to take you out.
00:37:41If you'll have me.
00:37:43Okay.
00:37:43Is somebody gonna explain to me why we're sucking up to the cleaning lady?
00:37:49Your call, Ruth.
00:37:52Ruth is the most powerful woman in the world, controlling industries that you could only dream of.
00:37:57In fact, there's not a single person on this planet that doesn't know her or her voice.
00:38:03What?
00:38:04You wanna tell them?
00:38:07I am the gold queen.
00:38:09Ruth is the gold queen?
00:38:12I mean, I, I can't say I'm surprised.
00:38:14You have always been the most talented person I have ever known.
00:38:19They thought their bullying would bring me down.
00:38:22But it only became my fuel.
00:38:25Every laugh, every insult only made me stronger and made me dream even bigger.
00:38:30You see, all you did was make me unstoppable.
00:38:34So thank you for the motivation.
00:38:36Ruth.
00:38:37Baby girl.
00:38:39You know, we were just teasing you.
00:38:41Right?
00:38:41Something kids do?
00:38:42I feel like we all agree that the best course of action is just close that chapter and preserve those
00:38:48precious childhood memories for all of us.
00:38:50Well, Daisy, I'm not interested in those memories.
00:38:54Especially if you were in them.
00:38:58Barry, you have 24 hours to give back everything you took from Mona.
00:39:03Otherwise, the governor here is going to make sure you get arrested for fraud.
00:39:06You heard the lady.
00:39:10Tomorrow, a special performance will be held at the City Theatre in honor of my visit to Alville and me
00:39:16finally reuniting with my bestie.
00:39:21That is, only those who didn't vote against us leaving or behave like a bully in high school will be
00:39:27invited.
00:39:28I gotta get a drink.
00:39:35I can't believe you're the Gold Queen!
00:39:38This is amazing!
00:39:39I know, it's wild.
00:39:41I've been wanting to tell you for so long.
00:39:44And I've been wanting to hear everything that's been going on with you two.
00:39:47But first we have to go get dresses.
00:39:49Yes.
00:39:50And I won't let you two miss out on each other again.
00:39:56Thank you, bestie.
00:40:06So, you like Thai food?
00:40:08How did you know?
00:40:11Mutual acquaintance told me.
00:40:13Finally!
00:40:22Ew!
00:40:23Take your filthy hands off that dress!
00:40:26Ruth?
00:40:27Shirley, right?
00:40:29You were on the debate team with Mona.
00:40:32I was.
00:40:33What are you doing here?
00:40:34This is my mother's store.
00:40:36We specialize in super luxurious dresses.
00:40:39So you shouldn't touch them with your disgusting hands.
00:40:43They cost more than what you'll probably make in a lifetime.
00:40:46I suggest you not discriminate against me based on what I'm wearing.
00:40:50Mom?
00:40:51Yes, honey?
00:40:53Mom, remember the state debates?
00:40:55That girl who spent the whole final round crying in a locked bathroom stall?
00:41:00How could I forget?
00:41:01She basically handed you that trophy on a silver platter.
00:41:04It was you who locked her in the bathroom that day.
00:41:07She didn't get accepted to the college she wanted because of your stupid prank.
00:41:11Yup, it was me.
00:41:13Such a fun memory.
00:41:16Why would you do that?
00:41:18Because that's how winners behave.
00:41:20And that's exactly what my daughter is.
00:41:22A winner.
00:41:23Some are winners like me, and some are losers like you and Mona.
00:41:28It's just how the world works.
00:41:30Mona is not a loser.
00:41:32She's actually an insanely successful businesswoman.
00:41:35In fact, I'm here to buy her a dress for the Gold Queen's concert.
00:41:40Sure, yeah. And I'm the Queen of England.
00:41:43You know, I heard Jonathan Peters was invited to the VIP section of the concert tomorrow.
00:41:48I'm sure as soon as he sees you, you will conquer his heart.
00:41:52And become the richest woman in the country.
00:41:56I promise you, you're not getting into that concert.
00:41:58Oh, did you hear that, Shirley?
00:42:00The cleaner says she won't let you in.
00:42:03Oh, I'm trembling.
00:42:05What's she gonna do, block the door with her duster?
00:42:08I'm just saying, save yourselves the embarrassment and don't even show up.
00:42:12Who the fuck do you think you are, huh?
00:42:16Don't believe me? Go ahead. Enjoy the show.
00:42:19I know I will. And I don't intend to buy a dress here anymore.
00:42:24Not so fast.
00:42:25You already touched the dresses with your dirty hands.
00:42:29You'll have to pay for every single dress you touched.
00:42:32Otherwise, I'll be forced to call the police.
00:42:35Have you lost your mind?
00:42:37Security! Get that thief.
00:42:43You're making a big mistake.
00:42:45Boo hoo, I'm shaking!
00:42:48You know, it's ironic that you sell luxury goods when you're both so cheap yourselves.
00:42:56You and your mother are gonna pay for what you did to Mona and how you treated me today.
00:43:00Mom, help!
00:43:03Mom, help the cleaners after me with her dustpans.
00:43:09Last chance, loser.
00:43:11Pay up.
00:43:12You won't receive a single cent from me. Not now and not ever.
00:43:16You've asked for it. Take her out. I'm calling the cops.
00:43:22What are you doing?
00:43:26Oh, I'm sorry. Did I drop your Windex or...
00:43:32Oh, no. I forgot to take it out of my bag after the concert.
00:43:39I can't believe this.
00:43:41You're not just any loser. You're a professional thief.
00:43:45Get her now!
00:43:46Don't touch me.
00:43:51Back off.
00:43:53Why aren't you grabbing her in case she stole the mask?
00:43:56I bet you snuck into her room at the hotel you're working in and you stole it so you could
00:44:02sell it for a couple dollars.
00:44:04Surely, you could give that to the Gold Queen yourself. And who knows, maybe thanks to you she'll come and
00:44:10buy some dresses.
00:44:11Oh my God, Mom.
00:44:12You really think that could happen?
00:44:14I'm sure of it, sweetheart.
00:44:17What exactly are you laughing about? You're one step away from prison.
00:44:21There's just one small problem with your plan.
00:44:23What is that exactly?
00:44:26The Gold Queen would never come near the store ever again.
00:44:30Again?
00:44:31Considering you just kicked her out.
00:44:35I am the Gold Queen.
00:44:39This woman is crazy.
00:44:41We run the most elite boutique in the district. We don't just sell dresses. We sell status.
00:44:48You know what? I should share your world-class service with my followers.
00:44:53Go ahead. I'd love to see the three likes you get from your fellow janitors.
00:45:00Okay. Let's see what the world thinks of your so-called status.
00:45:05This should be fun to watch.
00:45:10Hey, my dear Gold fans. I wanted to warn you about this boutique store where quality is low and standards
00:45:17are even lower.
00:45:20And done.
00:45:21You're absolutely pathetic. We all know nothing's gonna happen.
00:45:32What the fuck?
00:45:36What?
00:45:37Fashion Week just cancelled our partnership.
00:45:43Mom, what's going on?
00:45:45Another stylist just cancelled fittings for the Oscars.
00:45:48Check our app for all of our scheduled fittings.
00:45:53Oh, fuck!
00:45:54We're ruined.
00:45:56Everyone's cancelled.
00:45:58Oh, my God.
00:46:00You are the Gold Queen.
00:46:02No, Mom! No way! It can't be!
00:46:04Shut up, Shirley! It's her!
00:46:06Please forgive my daughter. She didn't know who she was talking to.
00:46:09You'll get no pity from me.
00:46:11Especially after how you treated my bestie.
00:46:15What did she do to me?
00:46:17Oh, my God. That's Governor Jonathan Peters.
00:46:20Oh, shit. That's Mona.
00:46:22What is going on here?
00:46:23Mona, Mona, please forgive me.
00:46:25I knew if I let you compete in that debate, I'd never win.
00:46:28I had to get that scholarship.
00:46:30What?
00:46:31Do you remember the bathroom door that wouldn't open that day?
00:46:34She's the reason you were locked in the bathroom. That's why you never made it.
00:46:37I always wondered why.
00:46:38You were the best and yet you never made it to the finals.
00:46:41It was you.
00:46:43You locked me in.
00:46:46That day changed my entire life.
00:46:49Everything that I planned, every dream I had of leaving this city, vanished because of you.
00:46:56And now, it's her turn to see her world crumble.
00:47:00I've already made the post.
00:47:02No one's gonna set foot in this boutique ever again.
00:47:05Please, Gold Queen. I'm begging you to delete that post.
00:47:09This store is all we have.
00:47:11And Shirley is a loser. She can't find work anywhere else.
00:47:15We'll be out on the street.
00:47:17I'm begging you, please have mercy.
00:47:23Ruth, delete the post.
00:47:25Let them keep their store.
00:47:28Having to live with themselves is enough punishment.
00:47:31Wow.
00:47:32You have an incredible heart, Mona.
00:47:35Most people would have chosen revenge and yet...
00:47:38You chose Grace.
00:47:41It's done.
00:47:43You both are lucky she has more mercy than I do.
00:47:50Let's go, guys.
00:48:00Ruth?
00:48:01Um, about the concert tomorrow.
00:48:03There's something I need to ask you and I know it's a lot, so feel free to say no.
00:48:08But would you mind inviting my parents to the concert?
00:48:15Ruth, I know that they didn't accept you back then and they tried to keep us apart, but...
00:48:20If you could just give them another chance, it would mean everything to me.
00:48:26I want them to see you the way I always have.
00:48:30Of course, Mona.
00:48:32What's important to you is important to me.
00:48:37I really, really appreciate it.
00:48:43But don't tell them who I am just yet.
00:48:45Leave that to me.
00:48:47When we finally meet, I want them to see for themselves that I was never the bad influence they thought
00:48:52I was.
00:48:53Of course.
00:48:59I'm just so happy that you both are going to be there tomorrow.
00:49:02Two of my favorite people.
00:49:04Right in the front row.
00:49:07Alright, let's go shopping.
00:49:09Yay!
00:49:10I know how this ends.
00:49:11Come on!
00:49:18So, how was your date?
00:49:21He's perfect, Ruth.
00:49:22And he gives me butterflies.
00:49:25I can't believe I wasted so much time on the idiot Barry.
00:49:29Yeah, Barry sucks.
00:49:31He always has.
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:33But look at how Jonathan, the quiet, gentle guy from high school, turned out to be the successful, beloved governor.
00:49:39And what about you, Ruth?
00:49:41I mean, look at you.
00:49:43I am so proud of you.
00:49:46I mean, who would have believed that you would become the most successful singer in the world?
00:49:50I can hardly believe it myself.
00:49:53It's like I'm two different people.
00:49:56First, there's Ruth, the freak or invisible girl that has to fight just to get noticed.
00:50:01And then, there's the gold queen.
00:50:04So dazzling, she blinds everyone.
00:50:08I honestly can't believe the scale it's reached.
00:50:10It's crazy.
00:50:11It's amazing.
00:50:15But, I am curious.
00:50:17Why do you wear that mask when you go on stage?
00:50:25I created the gold queen for myself because I thought deep down that if I went out there just the
00:50:32way I am, I'd still be invisible.
00:50:36But, you are so beautiful and powerful, Ruth.
00:50:40If you went out on stage just like that, the audience would go wild.
00:50:45In jeans and a t-shirt.
00:50:47Yes!
00:50:49You know what, I am dying for my parents to see you, to just realize how wrong they were about
00:50:55you all those years.
00:50:56I wouldn't get your hopes up. They never liked me. And, I never understood why.
00:51:02Yeah, but that was a long time ago. And like we said, we're not in high school anymore.
00:51:11There they are.
00:51:13They are in the VIP room.
00:51:16Should we go say hi?
00:51:17Are you sure about this?
00:51:19I'm sure.
00:51:22Fine. Let's do this.
00:51:25Let's do this.
00:51:26I just hope this goes smoothly.
00:51:29Hey, Mom!
00:51:32Dad.
00:51:35You look wonderful.
00:51:36You look incredible, Mona.
00:51:39Where did you get that outfit?
00:51:40Um, actually, Ruth gave it to me.
00:51:43Say hello to Ruth.
00:51:47You remember her?
00:51:48What is she doing here?
00:51:50She's here because she-
00:51:51We made it clear a long time ago we don't approve of this relationship between you two.
00:51:55Dad, wait.
00:51:57She isn't here for no reason.
00:51:59She's-
00:51:59It's obvious why she's here.
00:52:00As usual, she's looking for a way to exploit your status.
00:52:04But to show up at a Gold Queen event with you?
00:52:07The nerve!
00:52:08You don't understand.
00:52:10Just let me explain.
00:52:11No explanation is necessary.
00:52:12She needs to leave now.
00:52:16You didn't listen to us in high school?
00:52:18And look where it got you.
00:52:19You were lonely.
00:52:20Friendless.
00:52:21You better listen to us now.
00:52:23No.
00:52:24It's the exact opposite.
00:52:26I wasn't lonely because of Ruth.
00:52:29She's my friend.
00:52:30They haven't changed a bit.
00:52:32It's hopeless.
00:52:33Friend?
00:52:34Come on.
00:52:35You were from a respectable family.
00:52:38Well, she was just the daughter of a struggling single mother.
00:52:42She was always pulling you down.
00:52:44You were just too naive to see it.
00:52:46My mother may have raised me by herself, but she gave me everything I needed.
00:52:51She made me feel worthy.
00:52:53Look at what you're wearing to the biggest concert Elleville has ever seen.
00:52:58Mom, you are so wrong.
00:53:01You don't understand who Ruth is.
00:53:03I understand perfectly.
00:53:05Mom, please don't.
00:53:06Just look at her.
00:53:08I mean, she looks disheveled and pathetic.
00:53:10The bottom of the barrel.
00:53:13I don't understand why, after all these years, she came popping back into your life.
00:53:19Because, Mom, we had our class reunion yesterday.
00:53:22She actually traveled a long way just to see me.
00:53:25She was at the reunion?
00:53:26Let me guess.
00:53:28She's the reason the merger didn't go through with Barry.
00:53:30You should be happy that the wedding is off.
00:53:33Happy?
00:53:33We were on our way to becoming the most successful company in this city, and you destroyed everything.
00:53:38No, Jack.
00:53:39It was Barry who destroyed everything.
00:53:42He's a despicable cheater who treated your daughter like trash.
00:53:46Hm.
00:53:46There you go again.
00:53:47Once again, making her believe that you are the only one good enough for her.
00:53:53Doing what?
00:53:54It's exactly what you did back in high school.
00:53:56You ruined every chance Mona ever had of having good high school memories.
00:54:01Mom!
00:54:03It's true.
00:54:04Everyone stayed away from Mona because of you.
00:54:07I may be the daughter of the wealthy, respectable Robbins family, but you know what?
00:54:12To everyone else, I was just a freak.
00:54:13That's because you kept hanging out with her.
00:54:16If you'd listened to us and cut her off like we said, everything would have been fine.
00:54:20You know what?
00:54:21As a young girl, I wanted so badly for you to accept me.
00:54:25I was actually jealous of Mona for having a real family.
00:54:29For having everything.
00:54:32But then I quickly realized who you really are.
00:54:35Self-centered parents who never truly saw their own daughter.
00:54:39All you ever cared about was your money and status.
00:54:42How dare you, you insolent rat!
00:54:44My mother may have struggled, but she never struggled to see me.
00:54:49To support me, to be there for me.
00:54:52Somehow, the house that seemed to have nothing like you all said, actually had everything I needed.
00:55:02Don't you dare touch her.
00:55:04Dad.
00:55:06It's okay.
00:55:10I invited you here because you're Mona's parents.
00:55:13And because she's my best friend.
00:55:16I clearly, I made a mistake.
00:55:19Invited us?
00:55:20Who do you think you are?
00:55:22I'm many things.
00:55:23But above all, I am a human being that deserves to be treated with respect.
00:55:28You don't deserve our respect.
00:55:30We are the guests of honor of the Gold Queen and Jonathan Peters.
00:55:35You don't even belong here.
00:55:37Get out now.
00:55:39I had hoped I could forgive you both for trying to tear me away from my best friend.
00:55:44But you know what?
00:55:46You've run out of chances.
00:55:47You have no idea how big a mistake you just made.
00:55:51I think it's time you knew.
00:55:53You're only here because I invited you.
00:56:01I am the Gold Queen.
00:56:03What?
00:56:06You are completely out of your mind.
00:56:09Do you expect us to believe that this poor girl is the most successful singer in the world?
00:56:14Impossible.
00:56:15It's true, Mom.
00:56:17Ruth proved that talent and drive are so much stronger than any status.
00:56:22She climbed to the top all on her own.
00:56:25While everyone else was too busy looking down on her.
00:56:31Thank you, Mona.
00:56:33But look at you.
00:56:35The girl the kids tried to break back then.
00:56:37The one they laughed at.
00:56:38You proved just how brilliant and powerful you really are.
00:56:44I guess the two losers from high school ended up leaving everyone else in the dust.
00:56:48Huh. Yep.
00:56:50Make that three losers.
00:56:54Oh my God, it's Jonathan Peters!
00:56:56Ain't you beautiful?
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58I missed you.
00:56:59I missed you too.
00:57:02Um, am I late?
00:57:04Not at all. You're right on time.
00:57:07Governor Peters, it's an honor.
00:57:09My name is Jack and this is my wife Linda.
00:57:11We're Ramona's parents and special guests of the Gold Queen.
00:57:15I would love to sit and talk with you later, maybe about some business.
00:57:18Absolutely not, Dad.
00:57:20Jonathan and I are here to enjoy a concert together.
00:57:24No business.
00:57:27Ruth, the crowd's getting impatient. Let's go.
00:57:30One second.
00:57:34I don't understand what's going on here.
00:57:36What is there to understand, Dad?
00:57:39Ruth, the friend that you humiliated, shamed and insulted over and over again.
00:57:44Oh, and the only person who ever believed in me when no one else did?
00:57:48Yeah, she is the Gold Queen.
00:57:50The most successful singer on the planet.
00:57:53I'm so sorry.
00:57:55We didn't know.
00:57:58We tried to tell you.
00:58:00But your arrogance, your vanity,
00:58:03the shallow way that you judge people,
00:58:06it made you blind.
00:58:08You didn't only miss out on a massive opportunity with the Gold Queen.
00:58:12You lost me too.
00:58:18Come on.
00:58:24Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green! Go Green!

00:58:45i performed at my high school reunion but without this mask it was just me
00:58:53i was just ruth it was a strange and yet incredible feeling to finally be seen
00:58:59but then i realized i was never actually invisible i always had my best friend mona by my side
