Short filmTranscript
00:00:00At that moment, I had no idea the gallery's grand opening would also be the beginning of my worst betrayal.
00:00:12I am the best nude painter in New York and no one has bought my works today.
00:00:16It's a bunch of fucking bullshit!
00:00:18Be patient, Paolo. I'm sure there will be someone who will appreciate your work.
00:00:23Uh, patience is for losers.
00:00:30I'm gonna go take a nap in the office.
00:00:33Don't wake me up.
00:00:35Unless it's important, sweetie.
00:00:42For God's sake, Joanne, you're handling his exhibition while he slacks off?
00:00:48Reality check, your husband's a total jerk.
00:00:51Paolo has a bit of an ego, but he loves me.
00:00:58It's your stupid wife.
00:00:59We can celebrate your exhibition.
00:01:01Don't bring up Joanne.
00:01:02I can't even get up for that perfect brood.
00:01:05When are you gonna divorce that old hag?
00:01:07I've been in talks with Skycrest's agent, and if this works, we're going to make a fortune.
00:01:13And then Paolo can focus on his art full time.
00:01:16I can't stand how she bosses me around.
00:01:18When this Skycrest exhibit is over, and I get my guy, I'm gonna dump that wrinkly old mother's forehead, shouldn't
00:01:24we?
00:01:29Oh, Paolo!
00:01:30Oh, Paolo!
00:01:33Oh, my God!
00:01:36Joanne, no, no, it's not what you think.
00:01:38I am out there busting my ass, and you're in here fucking my secretary?!
00:01:43The two of you are fucking disgusting!
00:01:51Enough, Joanne!
00:01:53This is pathetic!
00:01:55If you even looked in the mirror, you're practically menopausal.
00:01:59Paolo deserves better.
00:02:00I want a divorce.
00:02:03I don't even have to think twice.
00:02:06You're nothing without me!
00:02:08You're just a bitter, aging woman.
00:02:13I can't believe it's taken me this long to know the real you.
00:02:29Hey, Ma. I'm here. Where are you?
00:02:49Are you okay?
00:02:50I just had the worst day of my life.
00:02:54How can someone carry so much pain, but still be so beautiful?
00:03:00Alan, you just missed my friend. She's an amazing curator.
00:03:04I can see that I'd love to mirror when I get the chance.
00:03:08Just don't tell her who I am, please.
00:03:10I get it. Gotta keep it mysterious. Sky Quest. Big famous artist.
00:03:17You know, Lily, I haven't had sex in two years.
00:03:22Paolo was always too busy.
00:03:24But really, he was too busy fucking my skinky secretary, Sue.
00:03:29Enough about that cheating lowlife.
00:03:33All older men do is take advantage of young women.
00:03:35I mean, just look at both our husbands.
00:03:38Age-guard relationships are always a disaster.
00:03:46You see? Your son checks in on you.
00:03:49Yeah, he is a sweet boy.
00:03:50I'm gonna die alone.
00:03:51I just hope he ends up with someone his own age.
00:03:54I mean, if he ends up with an older woman...
00:03:56I might just have to kill him, bitch.
00:03:58I don't blame you.
00:04:00Most older women are like me.
00:04:02Hot messes.
00:04:03The cheating husbands.
00:04:05Listen, girl. Priority number one.
00:04:08Protect your money.
00:04:09That's why I found you the best divorce lawyer.
00:04:14And...
00:04:14I hear he's a total hottie, too.
00:04:16So, even if you can't agree on his fees...
00:04:19At least you might get a little flit, a little bit.
00:04:23Oh my god, you are so cringe.
00:04:26Bathroom break.
00:04:28Your lawyer will be here so soon.
00:04:31Oh my god.
00:04:37The woman I met at the gallery.
00:04:40I didn't expect to see you here.
00:04:44And I didn't expect you to be so...
00:04:49Young.
00:04:58Whoa.
00:04:59Are all divorce lawyers such good kissers?
00:05:02No, you had it mixed up.
00:05:04Anyway, I'm Joanne.
00:05:07Alan.
00:05:09Hi.
00:05:10Let me get us another round.
00:05:12I need some liquid courage before I talk about my divorce.
00:05:16Okay.
00:05:24What are you blind? Just ruined my fucking shirt!
00:05:28I'll pay for it.
00:05:29Just take a check and leave me alone.
00:05:32That'll be 2,000 bucks.
00:05:33For a shirt?
00:05:35What?
00:05:35What?
00:05:36Does it pay your taxes and clean your house too?
00:05:38Relax, kid.
00:05:38I'm talking to your mom.
00:05:43Here's 10 grand.
00:05:45That's another hundred.
00:05:46So you can stop speaking.
00:05:49Bish, are you serious?
00:05:51You wanna take this outside?
00:05:54No.
00:05:57No.
00:05:59Come on.
00:06:00Go, go.
00:06:00No.
00:06:03Oh my god.
00:06:05Did you really give that bastard money?
00:06:07It was a fake check.
00:06:14You're incredible.
00:06:17Do I really look like your mom?
00:06:19You look beautiful.
00:06:24You're too young to know the difference.
00:06:26You don't know what you're talking-
00:06:50You're too young to know the difference.
00:06:51When we should stop.
00:06:53You're too young for me.
00:06:54You sure?
00:06:55Because you couldn't be anywhere right now.
00:06:58Oh, I just want you inside me.
00:07:02Okay.
00:07:18Shit!
00:07:19I brought my lawyer to Lily's house?
00:07:21How drunk was I?
00:07:28I brought her to my mom's place.
00:07:30I bet she'll be cool with it.
00:07:36We need to go.
00:07:37Now.
00:07:38Oh, come on.
00:07:39We could just stay in and cuddle all day.
00:07:41We cannot be seen here together.
00:07:43She must be worried since the divorce still isn't finalized.
00:07:47Okay, one shower and I'll go.
00:07:57You alright, Joanne?
00:07:59Uh, I'm fine.
00:08:02Shit.
00:08:07Hey.
00:08:09What's up, Lily?
00:08:11Is anybody in there?
00:08:14No.
00:08:15I turned the shower on, but no water came out.
00:08:20But now it's working.
00:08:21Okay.
00:08:22Alright.
00:08:23Um, Paolo called.
00:08:27Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:29Basically, he's coming over and wants to talk about the divorce.
00:08:34Great!
00:08:38My husband's on this place.
00:08:39We gotta go.
00:08:40Right now.
00:08:41Come on.
00:08:43What do you mean?
00:08:44Come, come, come.
00:08:45Come on.
00:08:51You know, you drive me off better than my mom ever did.
00:08:54Ugh.
00:08:55I'm kidding.
00:08:56I'm kidding.
00:08:59Julian, I really like you.
00:09:02I really like you too.
00:09:06Which is why we needed to go like five minutes ago.
00:09:09If Paolo finds out, I lose everything in the divorce.
00:09:12And you lose your license.
00:09:14Right about that.
00:09:16I'm not a lawyer.
00:09:21Thank God.
00:09:22I should have known.
00:09:24No real lawyer, so not.
00:09:31Who the hell are you?
00:09:41Paolo.
00:09:42You must be Lily's kid.
00:09:44Right?
00:09:45Shit, you've really grown up, man.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:51Genius.
00:09:52He can just pretend to be Lily's son.
00:09:55Uh, Alan.
00:09:56Her son.
00:09:59Anyway.
00:10:00What's the matter?
00:10:04I don't have time for small talk so spit it out or I'm leaving
00:10:10I'm sorry for what I did
00:10:12I was an idiot
00:10:16Young girls
00:10:18They're all so shallow
00:10:21I mean they're not
00:10:22They're not beautiful and smart
00:10:24And deep like you are Joanne
00:10:27Please
00:10:31Isn't that her soon-to-be ex-husband
00:10:35What on earth could they be talking about
00:10:39Let's start over again
00:10:40Please
00:10:41I mean no press, no lawyers
00:10:43Just us, we'll sort it out
00:10:46I'll do
00:10:48Anything you want
00:10:49Therapy
00:10:51Travel, you name it
00:10:57I have one condition
00:11:03And that condition is
00:11:06Stay the hell away from me
00:11:08I never want to see your face again
00:11:11If you leave now
00:11:12I'll spare you some dignity
00:11:13And make sure the investors remember you in a better light
00:11:17You win
00:11:19Keep your mouth shut
00:11:22And we both win
00:11:23The news hears about our divorce
00:11:26We're screwed
00:11:27Didn't think about that when you're screwing Sue in our gallery
00:11:30You're making my life hell
00:11:32I will drag you down with me
00:11:41None of your goddamn business, kid
00:11:47Fuck you
00:11:51You okay?
00:11:52Couldn't be better
00:11:54Thanks
00:11:54You sure you don't want me to drive you home?
00:11:56Yeah
00:11:57I think you should go too
00:11:58You know, since this isn't your house
00:12:03Right
00:12:03Lily can't know about this right now
00:12:06I gotta go
00:12:13Call me
00:12:17I'll think about it
00:12:24Alan
00:12:25Where did our visitor go?
00:12:27That guy came by to harass his ex-wife
00:12:29So I taught him a lesson
00:12:30Oh
00:12:31Well, he deserves it
00:12:32So
00:12:33About last night
00:12:36Who was the girl you were with?
00:12:38That was Joanne
00:12:40She was just here, actually
00:12:42Wait, Joanne?
00:12:46Wait, that girl, Joanne
00:12:48Right, Joanne
00:12:51Is Alan home?
00:12:52I'm Joanne Mitchell
00:12:53We met at a party
00:12:55He's not here
00:12:57You're dating that, Joanne?
00:13:00Isn't she a little tacky?
00:13:02Not at all, Mom
00:13:03She's super elegant and classy
00:13:04I mean
00:13:05We're practically made for each other
00:13:08Aren't you worried about the age difference?
00:13:10Mom, age doesn't matter when it's real
00:13:13It was love at first sight
00:13:16Okay
00:13:16So why don't you invite her to my birthday party then
00:13:20Okay
00:13:30Oh, he's too young for me
00:13:32I'm insane
00:13:47This is Joanne, is Alan there?
00:13:49Joanne
00:13:50Sorry, you have the wrong number
00:13:52Okay
00:13:54Joanne
00:13:55Hey
00:13:57You're a girlfriend
00:13:59I hope so
00:14:00Come on
00:14:01You're Al Skycrest
00:14:03The famous artist
00:14:05No one would say no to you
00:14:06You don't want to be supposed to know about that
00:14:09Okay
00:14:11Hey, what's up?
00:14:12I've been waiting to hear from you all day
00:14:18Hey
00:14:25It's good to see you
00:14:26Me too
00:14:31Look
00:14:32About that girl on my phone
00:14:34She's just a friend
00:14:35Who cares?
00:14:37It's not like I have any say in who you talk to
00:14:40I want you to care
00:14:50No, no, no
00:14:52He can't be proposing to me
00:14:57What?
00:14:57Are you going?
00:15:01Oh
00:15:03A locket
00:15:06That is so sweet
00:15:10It's empty
00:15:11We'll fill it soon
00:15:12But right now
00:15:14I have something more important in mind
00:15:27You know this artist?
00:15:28This is my favorite
00:15:29This is Al Skycrest
00:15:31His work is just
00:15:33Bold
00:15:34It's
00:15:35Beautiful
00:15:35But there's still this
00:15:38This hint of sadness
00:15:40You can tell he's been through a lot
00:15:43He's sensitive
00:15:46That was
00:15:47Really insightful, Joanne
00:15:49Do you know how special you are to me?
00:16:03Shit
00:16:03Shit
00:16:04I'm late for Lily's birthday party
00:16:10I actually have somewhere to be
00:16:11Oh
00:16:12Would you want to come with me?
00:16:15I'd love to
00:16:15But I have dinner plans with my best friend
00:16:18It's actually her birthday today
00:16:21I'm going to go get ready
00:16:42What a coincidence
00:16:43Yeah
00:16:44Maybe we're heading to the same place
00:16:57Long time no see
00:16:58Young man
00:16:58How have you been lately?
00:17:00He didn't even acknowledge Lily
00:17:01For a second
00:17:02I actually thought he was her son
00:17:04It's so ridiculous
00:17:08Is this how you best your confidence?
00:17:10By screwing some minor?
00:17:13Are you okay?
00:17:15What did you just say to her?
00:17:16I'm okay
00:17:21No wonder he couldn't get hard for you
00:17:23He told me everything
00:17:24How you went to his office
00:17:26And begged for him to take you back
00:17:28Listen up
00:17:29He's mine now
00:17:31Leave my man alone
00:17:32Grandma
00:17:35Nice diamond bracelets
00:17:36Wow
00:17:37It looks like someone's still using my money
00:17:39To spoil their mistress
00:17:41Before our assets are officially split
00:17:43Bullshit
00:17:44Pell's loaded
00:17:44You were begging him for money for years
00:17:46Oh
00:17:48Max out those credit cards while you can
00:17:50After this phone call
00:17:51They will be nothing but plastic
00:17:54Grandma's having another delusional episode
00:17:56Hi Mike
00:17:57I don't have time for this
00:17:58Miss
00:17:59The total for your hotel balcony and lunch
00:18:01Comes to $4,000
00:18:05It went through
00:18:06Thank you
00:18:09Full of shit
00:18:10Just like I thought
00:18:11Grandma
00:18:15Lie to me all you want
00:18:16My cards are as good as gold
00:18:18What?
00:18:20I'm sorry miss
00:18:21It looks like the card only covered the lunch
00:18:23Could you
00:18:24Swipe it again please?
00:18:34Are you serious?
00:18:35Your stupid machine must be broken
00:18:38Oh
00:18:39Should I call security?
00:18:40It looks like someone's trying to dine and dash
00:18:42You old witch
00:18:44You hacked my cards
00:18:45Give me my money back
00:18:49You evil bitch
00:18:51You'll pay for this
00:18:58Who the hell are you?
00:19:01Stay out of this
00:19:04Enjoy your cake
00:19:14Nice aim back there
00:19:16Thanks
00:19:17Who was that anyway?
00:19:19Oh her?
00:19:20Just some woman my husband cheated on me with
00:19:23Thanks for stepping in
00:19:25Anytime
00:19:42Oh god
00:19:54Oh god
00:19:57Sorry
00:19:59Don't mind me
00:20:01Mom couldn't see us
00:20:02Lily couldn't see us
00:20:03She's not wearing your glasses today
00:20:05I should go
00:20:06My friend's waiting for me at the hotel
00:20:19This must be Lily's son
00:20:22Makes sense
00:20:23Good skin
00:20:24Polite
00:20:25But terrible fashion sense
00:20:27There you are
00:20:29Hi
00:20:29You must have met my son
00:20:30I text him to meet you at the door
00:20:32Yep
00:20:32He seems like a real gentleman
00:20:34I'm glad to hear it
00:20:36He's making his mom proud
00:20:38Oh so
00:20:39How'd it go with the lawyer?
00:20:41I'm kind of seeing him
00:20:42What?
00:20:45But actually
00:20:46The guy I thought was the lawyer
00:20:47Wasn't
00:20:49So
00:20:49I got it mixed up at first
00:20:51Wait
00:20:52Tell me everything
00:20:53What's his name?
00:20:56His name's Al
00:20:57So this is what you're doing now?
00:20:58Telling everyone that
00:20:59You slept with some younger guy?
00:21:03Hey
00:21:04What the hell are you doing?
00:21:05What did I tell you about keeping our divorce quiet?
00:21:08So now Sue tells me that you're already screwing some other guy?
00:21:11Do you want this in the tabloids?
00:21:14Do you seriously not understand how badly this could go for us?
00:21:18Skycrest is some like moody little genius
00:21:20I mean he can just win at any kind of drama like this
00:21:23He'll pull out of our exhibition
00:21:25Alan
00:21:25Go after them
00:21:26Go help her please
00:21:27It's okay
00:21:29Now you care
00:21:30I just spent a month in Switzerland
00:21:32Buttering up Skycrest's agent
00:21:34While you were busy fucking your side piece
00:21:36The only reason this exhibition exists
00:21:39Is because of me
00:21:41I know what you do
00:21:45Who's my main contact for the upcoming exhibition?
00:21:49Joanne
00:21:50Right, I thought so
00:21:51Don't give my number to anyone else
00:21:53Except for Joanne
00:21:59How's this?
00:22:00You give me Skycrest agent's contact
00:22:02You can just sit back and collect your cut
00:22:06Sure
00:22:07Give me 50% of the shares in your company
00:22:09And I might consider it
00:22:12Fucking out of your mind
00:22:14I don't even need you to get to Skycrest
00:22:15I can get to him myself
00:22:18You
00:22:19Convince Skycrest
00:22:21In your dreams
00:22:24What now?
00:22:25You're here to play Night in Shining Armor?
00:22:27Beat it, you little punk
00:22:28Give me that phone
00:22:29I'll call him myself
00:22:36Lay one more finger on her
00:22:38And I swear to God
00:22:38You'll regret it
00:22:47You'll regret this
00:22:54Come on
00:23:01Tonight
00:23:02Shouldn't we show that bitch Joanne who's in charge?
00:23:06Don't worry
00:23:08Joanne's already out
00:23:13Why can't I get into the gallery?
00:23:16Security says I don't have access
00:23:20You're out, sweetheart
00:23:21This is not the time for you and your little lap dog to be barking at me
00:23:24Honey, you're just too emotional
00:23:28That's why you should let Paolo handle these things
00:23:33Alan?
00:23:36What are you doing here?
00:23:37I can go
00:23:37I can handle this
00:23:39Speak of the devil
00:23:42It's okay, I might be able to help
00:23:43It's not as simple as it seems
00:23:45This investor is a big name
00:23:46I bought this
00:23:49Hey
00:23:50This table's for adults only
00:23:52Get the fuck out of here, little boy
00:23:57Huh
00:23:58Text your mommy to come pick you up
00:24:00You might want to get that
00:24:01Could be important
00:24:10Yes?
00:24:10Uh, yes sir?
00:24:12No, no, I hadn't realized that she had
00:24:16Understood
00:24:21Is something wrong?
00:24:26Joanne stays on as exhibition director
00:24:33Either you two keep pretending to be the perfect married couple
00:24:37Or you're out, period
00:24:39Didn't you just say that you were making me the exhibition director?
00:24:42Why are you backing out now?
00:24:44Shut up
00:24:45Shut up
00:24:46These are Al Skycrest's orders
00:24:48We're doing this
00:24:49Or he's pulling out
00:24:51Looks like someone has a very powerful ally
00:25:04Well?
00:25:07What?
00:25:07I've never met Al Skycrest
00:25:09Why would he help me?
00:25:11Well, maybe you heard you're a professional curator
00:25:15Who did you just text?
00:25:18I know people on Al Skycrest's team
00:25:20I just, you know, delivered a message that
00:25:23Or maybe you're actually
00:25:26Al Skycrest
00:25:33So you do know Al Skycrest?
00:25:37Well, I know his Asian
00:25:38We're very, very close friends
00:25:41Play your cards right
00:25:42And you might just get Al Skycrest's best piece at your art exhibit
00:25:45And you're not bluffing?
00:25:47Not when it comes to you
00:25:51Cheers
00:26:07Alan?
00:26:10Jeez, okay
00:26:11What are you fighting, a naked girl?
00:26:12Worse
00:26:13An unfinished one
00:26:18That watch
00:26:19Looks so familiar
00:26:24Mom, what?
00:26:25I'm working
00:26:26It's nothing
00:26:27I'm just looking forward to this new piece
00:26:30Okay
00:26:31Okay
00:26:52Mom, what are you doing?
00:26:53Mom
00:26:53This is private
00:26:55I didn't, I swear
00:26:56I didn't
00:26:57I don't show anyone my unfinished work
00:26:59Not even you
00:27:00Come on
00:27:01Alan
00:27:02Wait
00:27:02I didn't mean to
00:27:05He's never shut me out like this
00:27:07But I guess he's not a little boy anymore
00:27:10He's got his own secrets now
00:27:12You know, his dad was 20 years older than me
00:27:17I thought I could handle it
00:27:18But it turns out age doesn't stop a man from going for a younger woman
00:27:24Sam, I'm sorry
00:27:26I just want Alan to find someone his age
00:27:29Settle down and have the kind of happiness I never got
00:27:37I shouldn't have shouted at mom like that
00:27:39I should apologize
00:27:51He's from my mom and Joanne
00:27:56Alan?
00:28:07Hey
00:28:07Funny timing
00:28:08I was just talking about you
00:28:10I'm at dinner
00:28:12Who are you having dinner with?
00:28:13My best friend Lily
00:28:15I can't believe you two haven't met yet
00:28:17I can't wait to introduce you
00:28:19You said Lily?
00:28:21Yeah, I told you about her
00:28:22She's like family to me
00:28:24You guys have to meet
00:28:27Oh hey, I see you
00:28:30Hello?
00:28:32Is everything okay?
00:28:34Yeah, I guess that wasn't him
00:28:36I should get my eyes checked
00:28:39He definitely saw me
00:28:41Was he embarrassed to be seen with me?
00:28:48Joanne, hey
00:28:49Ah, so I actually have something to tell you
00:28:52Who Harris is
00:28:53So that friend of yours
00:28:55No
00:28:55You saw me, you saw her
00:28:57And you still ran off
00:28:59What?
00:28:59Is it so embarrassing to date an older woman?
00:29:02No, it's not what I'm sure
00:29:03Don't touch me
00:29:29Maybe I should give him another chance to explain
00:29:48I just came to get my credit card
00:29:51No, wait, Joanne
00:29:52Seriously?
00:29:53You actually caught feelings for that granny?
00:29:55Shut up, Mindy
00:29:56Yes, I caught feelings for that woman
00:29:58And stop with the touchy shit
00:30:00Or we're done
00:30:00Forever
00:30:04Stop calling my mom up, Lily
00:30:08You'll regret this out, Skycrest
00:30:14Joanne, please
00:30:14I can explain everything
00:30:16Just open up
00:30:18You can take your little empty locket
00:30:21And leave
00:30:21I've had enough of your childish games
00:30:25Joanne, please
00:30:26It's all a big misunderstanding
00:30:27I swear
00:30:28There is no misunderstanding
00:30:30I am pathetic
00:30:32I am pathetic
00:30:33For falling for someone like you
00:30:35You're young
00:30:36You're rich
00:30:38You're handsome
00:31:02You're handsome
00:31:05I still want to be with you
00:31:06I still want to be with you
00:31:07Even if you're 50 years older
00:31:10Only artists and crazy people say things like that
00:31:13I am crazy
00:31:14I'm crazy in love with you
00:31:16I can't live without you, Joanne
00:31:18I mean, when you were walking away earlier
00:31:20It felt like my whole world was just shattered
00:31:40I want to introduce you to my mom
00:31:43That's fast
00:31:44I mean, who knows
00:31:45You might know each other
00:31:47After all, you both swim with the same heart-pond
00:31:53Joanne's still running the exhibition?
00:31:56God damn it
00:31:59When are we going to hit the mall?
00:32:01I still have to talk to Joanne about the exhibition
00:32:03Seriously?
00:32:04You're so cozy enough to that old hack?
00:32:06It's me or her, Paolo
00:32:07Truth
00:32:09Truth
00:32:10Get the hell out!
00:32:14So what's your mom like?
00:32:15Do you think we'd get along?
00:32:17Well, I mean...
00:32:19You're messing with my mannequin, bitch!
00:32:23I would never hit a woman
00:32:24So you better leave on your own right now
00:32:28It's alright
00:32:30I want nothing to do with that loser
00:32:32He's probably already groveling at some investor's feet
00:32:35I'm done with his drama
00:32:37Oh, I see
00:32:38You're sinking your claws into some young boy, huh?
00:32:41What a desperate cradle-ropper
00:32:43Watch your mouth
00:32:44And get out before I call the cops on you
00:32:51You alright?
00:32:53Yeah
00:33:03Care to explain this?
00:33:05Sudden divorce?
00:33:07I have no fear where those rumors came from
00:33:09If you can't quiet this mess, Paolo
00:33:12You're through
00:33:14You hear me?
00:33:16Then Joanne must pay
00:33:17I'll make sure she's finished
00:33:19You damn
00:33:20Will
00:33:20Better
00:33:21For fuck's sake
00:33:28So are you and Paolo divorcing?
00:33:30Was the power couple of the art world just an act?
00:33:32My marriage is private, please
00:33:34No comment
00:33:35The losses could be over a hundred million
00:33:37Who should be held responsible?
00:33:38Joanne has been my wife for years
00:33:40We've been through it all
00:33:41I stand by her
00:33:43So Paolo, are you aware your wife is pursuing a younger man?
00:33:46Yes, I'm aware
00:33:48If Joanne wants to get into the inexperienced pants of a twenty-something
00:33:52Frankly, I respect her decision
00:33:54As a feminist
00:33:55I knew Paolo would never go out of his way to help me
00:33:59Can you confirm you're an old cougar chasing younger men?
00:34:03I...
00:34:03Enough!
00:34:04Alright, I'll take responsibility for the losses
00:34:06I've already contacted Skycrest's agent
00:34:09If he agrees
00:34:10I'll be the sole organizer
00:34:17Al Skycrest is here
00:34:28I am Mrs. Skycrest's agent
00:34:30He has issued a statement
00:34:31That he is not canceling the upcoming exhibition
00:34:33And that Miss Joanne here
00:34:35Will stay on as his director
00:34:36What the hell is going on here?
00:34:40Look at this
00:34:41Skycrest's social media account just followed someone
00:34:46It's Joanne
00:34:47He's never followed anyone before
00:34:58Kids stand being all over the internet
00:35:01Hey, Joanne
00:35:02Rumor has it
00:35:04You're dating Skycrest?
00:35:07Spill
00:35:08Are you actually seeing him?
00:35:13No, I'm not dating Skycrest
00:35:16The media just ran with some stupid rumor
00:35:19I honestly don't even know why he chose me as director
00:35:22Well, maybe because he thinks you're way more capable than Paolo
00:35:29You know what?
00:35:31I'm gonna throw a party
00:35:33Inviting the media
00:35:34It's time to set the record straight
00:35:41Aunt Lily
00:35:42It's been a long time
00:35:44Oh, we need to look so good together
00:35:47We're just friends
00:35:50Sure, sure
00:36:01Hey
00:36:02I got a surprise for you
00:36:03Oh, yeah?
00:36:05What is it?
00:36:07Well, let's just say
00:36:08Yes
00:36:13Hi
00:36:14It's nice to finally meet you, Joanne
00:36:16I've heard so much about you
00:36:19Oh
00:36:19Alan and I
00:36:21Just friends
00:36:23Don't get the wrong idea
00:36:26Honestly, you're such a catch
00:36:28You and Alan
00:36:30Totally make the perfect couple
00:36:33Wow, thanks, Mindy
00:36:37So, uh, what is this surprise you have for me tonight?
00:36:42Maybe
00:36:44Skycrest will make an appearance tonight
00:36:45No way
00:36:47Hey, I was thinking of maybe making this us public tonight right here
00:36:55What do you think?
00:36:56This is the perfect time to reveal everything
00:36:59I can't wait any longer
00:37:00Joanne, I need to tell you something
00:37:08My mom, she's-
00:37:09Joanne, come with me
00:37:12Palakum, get a smile from you
00:37:14What are you doing?
00:37:16Play along one last time
00:37:18You'll get the divorce papers tonight
00:37:20Otherwise, I'll file a fault-based divorce
00:37:25Adultery
00:37:26Career suicide
00:37:27And your little boy toy?
00:37:29I'll destroy him
00:37:31Joanne, is it true you're dating a much younger man?
00:37:39No
00:37:40That's just a rumor
00:37:43I'm not seeing anyone
00:37:58Aunt Lily?
00:38:01Aunt Lily?
00:38:02This phone?
00:38:03I just found it on a table
00:38:05I didn't know you and Joanne were friends
00:38:07What a surprise
00:38:14Joanne?
00:38:14Oh
00:38:16It's you
00:38:17That woman just rejected you in front of the press
00:38:20And you're still running after her?
00:38:23I'm sure she had her reasons
00:38:25Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find her
00:38:30Mindy
00:38:31Have you seen Alan?
00:38:33Yep
00:38:33And, uh, you dropped your phone
00:38:35Thanks
00:38:36Where did he go?
00:38:37Hmm, um
00:38:38That way
00:38:40Or
00:38:41Maybe
00:38:42That way
00:38:45Look
00:38:45I know you like Alan
00:38:47But from what I can see
00:38:49You two don't really click
00:38:52And you two do?
00:38:54Isn't it a little awkward?
00:38:55Dating your best friend's son?
00:38:58What are you talking about?
00:39:00Oops
00:39:01Didn't he tell you he's Lily's son?
00:39:08You mean
00:39:09You really didn't know?
00:39:11Alan is Lily's son
00:39:13Your best friend's son
00:39:16No
00:39:17That's not possible
00:39:19Call her
00:39:21Ask yourself
00:39:24Oh
00:39:25Feeling guilty?
00:39:28Dating a guy 18 years younger is one thing
00:39:31But dating your best friend's kid?
00:39:36That's not love
00:39:38That's sick
00:39:39You must already know
00:39:42He's gonna tell me tonight
00:39:43I have to go find him
00:39:45Did he tell you he had a surprise for you?
00:39:48How do you know that?
00:39:49Hmm, please
00:39:50I've known him for years
00:39:52Every time he's drained his inspiration from a woman
00:39:54He throws her a little surprise before dumping her like trash
00:39:59What do you mean inspiration?
00:40:01Oh my god
00:40:01I promised Alan I wouldn't tell anyone
00:40:06That he's THE Al Skycrest
00:40:24You okay?
00:40:26Don't overthink it
00:40:27Only Alan's agent
00:40:29His mom
00:40:30And I know his real identity
00:40:31He keeps his girlfriends a secret
00:40:33Maybe you're just
00:40:35Part of his process
00:40:36You know?
00:40:38Dating older women
00:40:40Stealing their bits of souls for art
00:40:44Joanne!
00:41:09You've been off since the gala
00:41:11Did Mindy say something to you?
00:41:13Yeah
00:41:16I was just wondering
00:41:17When the media asked me if I was dating someone
00:41:21Did that hurt you?
00:41:24No
00:41:26It's okay, I know you didn't mean to hurt me
00:41:28I get sometimes people have to lie
00:41:31What's the biggest lie you've ever told?
00:41:35Um
00:41:37I once told my mom a lie to skip school
00:41:40But that was probably the biggest
00:41:43Really?
00:41:45You never lied to her again?
00:41:52I have to take this
00:41:58I'm telling her
00:41:59Tonight I can't hold this in anymore
00:42:01Alan, listen
00:42:02Just wait a little longer
00:42:04The studio
00:42:04I'll pay a penalty fee if I have to
00:42:06I just
00:42:07I can't lie to Joanne anymore
00:42:15Joanne?
00:42:17I can't lie to you
00:42:18I can't believe Gabby
00:42:34I only have to
00:42:35SHOWN
00:42:35If your kitty determines
00:42:38You're better
00:42:38What have you surprised my person
00:42:42I'm sorry
00:42:45Sure.
00:42:52So this is it, right?
00:42:55Your grand farewell, Skycrest?
00:43:02I have something to tell you, Joanne.
00:43:05Now, I haven't been completely honest with you,
00:43:08but here it is.
00:43:10I'm Al Skycrest.
00:43:13And my best friend is your ma.
00:43:15My mom is your best...
00:43:17Your best friend is my mom.
00:43:27You look incredible.
00:43:41Only flowers?
00:43:44There's more.
00:43:53It's a bit young for me, don't you think?
00:44:00Joanne, there's something I need to get off my chest.
00:44:05The truth is, my real identity...
00:44:06I'm starving.
00:44:07Aren't you?
00:44:10Right.
00:44:11Let's eat.
00:44:13I'll have the truffle risotto,
00:44:16caviar toast,
00:44:18duck confit,
00:44:19oysters.
00:44:20Oh, the wagyu tartare looks really nice.
00:44:24Quite an appetite today, huh?
00:44:25You have money to spare, right?
00:44:27Al Skycrest?
00:44:33Relax.
00:44:35I'm not going to waste this beautiful glass of champagne on your face.
00:44:42I should have known you were a liar.
00:44:44You pretended to be my divorce lawyer when we first met, remember?
00:44:48No, I can explain.
00:44:50I am such an idiot.
00:44:52I'm 36,
00:44:53and I'm still falling for some fuckboy's games.
00:44:57I actually thought you loved me.
00:45:07Wait, Joanne.
00:45:09I was going to tell you,
00:45:10okay, but I was scared.
00:45:12I wanted to tell you tonight,
00:45:14but I couldn't, okay?
00:45:15I'm in a contract,
00:45:16but I can't wait anymore.
00:45:18Yes, I'm Al Skycrest.
00:45:24Say something.
00:45:25Mindy was right.
00:45:27You can't stop acting.
00:45:34Every time he's drained his inspiration from a woman,
00:45:37he throws her a little surprise
00:45:38before dumping her like trash.
00:45:42Joanne.
00:45:45Joanne, wait.
00:45:47Joanne, please.
00:45:48Whatever Mindy said to you is not true.
00:45:51I didn't mean to lie to you, okay?
00:45:53You knew I was directing your exhibition from the start.
00:45:55Don't act like you admired my professionalism.
00:45:58You were just using me to fuel your inspiration
00:46:01before you kicked me to the curb.
00:46:04Didn't you say you never dated an older woman?
00:46:06Well,
00:46:08now you have.
00:46:09So what now, Mr. Artist?
00:46:31What the hell?
00:46:36Joanne, do you know that's my son?
00:46:39He just found out.
00:46:41I swear I had no...
00:46:42You're to disgust me.
00:46:44I never want to see either of you ever again.
00:46:47Mom.
00:46:48Mom.
00:46:52Joanne,
00:46:53please.
00:46:54Did you know from the beginning
00:46:56that your mom was my best friend?
00:46:57I can explain.
00:46:58No, you can't.
00:47:00Don't follow me.
00:47:02Joanne.
00:47:09Now this is what I call breaking news.
00:47:21This is where we first met.
00:47:25Why did you leave me, Joanne?
00:47:35She dumped you, didn't she?
00:47:38Come on, Alan.
00:47:40Mind you,
00:47:41help you forget about him.
00:47:52Finish this.
00:47:53You'll forget all your problems.
00:48:14Popped?
00:48:18You'll feel better if we take this off.
00:48:20You'll feel better if we take this off.
00:48:30Alan, you really should stop calling me.
00:48:35Relax, Joanne.
00:48:37Alan won't be calling you anymore.
00:48:40He's in bed.
00:48:41With me.
00:48:43With me.
00:49:02Damn it.
00:49:03Alan and Mindy.
00:49:05Whatever.
00:49:06Why do I even care?
00:49:10Alan?
00:49:12Joanne,
00:49:14please don't leave me.
00:49:15Hey!
00:49:17Are you insane?
00:49:19I'm sorry,
00:49:19I just feel like I'm burning up and...
00:49:22Enough of your childish games.
00:49:24You were just in bed with Mindy
00:49:26and then you come here
00:49:27showing up like this.
00:49:29Will I try it, please?
00:49:30Get out.
00:49:33Now.
00:49:35Alan?
00:49:36Alan?
00:49:37Alan, hey!
00:49:38Alan, wait!
00:49:39Oh!
00:49:40Alan!
00:49:43Oh!
00:49:45Oh!
00:49:45Oh!
00:49:45Oh!
00:50:01You were weak.
00:50:03Oh God,
00:50:03you scared the hell out of me last night.
00:50:06I don't even remember anything.
00:50:09Holy shit,
00:50:10I didn't do anything stupid,
00:50:11did I?
00:50:13I called Dr. Smith.
00:50:16You know,
00:50:16you were drugged.
00:50:18Roofied.
00:50:22I only had a few beers.
00:50:26And then Mindy gave me a cocktail
00:50:27and then everything after that was blank.
00:50:30Mindy called me from your phone last night
00:50:33and said you were in bed together.
00:50:35No.
00:50:36No, Trojan,
00:50:37I would never do that to you.
00:50:39She probably drugged me
00:50:40when I had to hurt you.
00:50:43It's okay.
00:50:44Whatever's going on
00:50:44between the two of you
00:50:45is none of my business anymore.
00:50:47There's nothing going on there.
00:50:50Lily is my best friend
00:50:52and
00:50:54I can't hurt her.
00:50:58Okay,
00:50:58well,
00:50:58at least come up with me
00:50:59to see if we can make it better.
00:51:07Lily,
00:51:09look,
00:51:09I'm so sorry.
00:51:12I really didn't mean to.
00:51:16Alan,
00:51:17Lily invited me over for dinner.
00:51:19I know you've got some nerve showing up here.
00:51:21Get the hell
00:51:22out of my house.
00:51:23Hey,
00:51:23what's going on here?
00:51:25Aunt Lily,
00:51:26he scared me.
00:51:27Ask her what she did.
00:51:28She drugged me.
00:51:29Alan,
00:51:30you shouldn't have used me like that.
00:51:32I'm not just some stand-in for Joanne.
00:51:35What?
00:51:38He was drunk.
00:51:39He forced himself on me.
00:51:42If I had pushed him away at the time,
00:51:44I'd...
00:51:45Mom,
00:51:47Joanne,
00:51:47I would never do something like that.
00:51:49I swear.
00:51:50I swear.
00:51:51I think it's best you leave.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:58Take one more step
00:51:59and you're no longer my son.
00:52:06It's all because of that bitch.
00:52:08What did you just say?
00:52:11I mean,
00:52:12she's just so unfair to both of you.
00:52:31Sue,
00:52:31right?
00:52:32You said you had some dirt on that bitch,
00:52:33Joanne.
00:52:34Damn right.
00:52:37You were cold,
00:52:38Alan,
00:52:39so don't blame me for playing dirty.
00:52:49I miss you,
00:52:50Joanne.
00:52:51Please,
00:52:51can we just talk?
00:52:53Alan,
00:52:53I think we need to end things
00:52:54for real this time.
00:53:06Can we meet just one last time?
00:53:08Just once?
00:53:15I'm sorry,
00:53:16Alan.
00:53:16This relationship was never meant to be.
00:53:19It's only bringing pain
00:53:21to me,
00:53:22to you,
00:53:23to Lily.
00:53:24We were ignited by mistake.
00:53:26And now,
00:53:28it's time to put the fire out.
00:53:36I know there have been
00:53:38all kinds of rumors swirling
00:53:39suggesting that Skycrest
00:53:42might not attend
00:53:43our power exhibition.
00:53:46I'm here
00:53:47to confirm
00:53:48that after my
00:53:49continued efforts,
00:53:51Skycrest will be joining us.
00:53:58Skycrest is here.
00:54:15Skycrest,
00:54:16you're known for never showing
00:54:18your face in public.
00:54:19Why attend this event in person?
00:54:21Well,
00:54:21I'm here for someone.
00:54:23Is it true you're dating someone?
00:54:24No.
00:54:25Not yet.
00:54:26She hasn't said yes.
00:54:28But I'll wait.
00:54:29However long it takes.
00:54:33Your little boyfriend
00:54:35is quite romantic,
00:54:36isn't he?
00:54:37You know what?
00:54:38I would actually like a word
00:54:39with Joanne,
00:54:40the director of this art exhibition,
00:54:41if you don't mind.
00:54:54Hi.
00:55:02Remember this place?
00:55:05It's where we first met
00:55:10You can't just reveal yourself to the entire team
00:55:13It's not romantic, it's immature
00:55:15I don't care, we'll have to see you in one time
00:55:19From now on, what we have is strictly professional
00:55:21What we had needs to remain in the past
00:55:24What?
00:55:31Joanne, I love you
00:55:32No, I can't betray my best friend
00:55:34This needs to end
00:55:37Between
00:55:50Is it true you're dating someone?
00:55:52No, not yet, she hasn't said yes
00:55:54But I'll wait, however long it takes
00:55:56Bitch!
00:56:06Mom
00:56:09I'm sorry for everything
00:56:16You don't have to say anything, Alan
00:56:19You're a big artist now
00:56:21Say whoever you want
00:56:23Joanne broke up with me
00:56:26I see
00:56:28She said that friendship comes first for her
00:56:30So
00:56:31She never meant to hurt you, Mom
00:56:52Please, Lily, can we talk?
00:57:15It's her
00:57:17It's always been her
00:57:23Lily, please, let's talk
00:57:25I didn't know Alan was your son until Mindy told me
00:57:28If I'd known earlier, I never would have gone out with him
00:57:32Mindy?
00:57:42I'll give you ten minutes
00:57:43Let's talk
00:57:45Thank you, Lily
00:57:51Lily
00:57:56Lily
00:57:57I won't
00:57:58Save it
00:57:59Just focus on you not passing out again
00:58:03I never meant to hurt you, Lily
00:58:05I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be friends again
00:58:11Even if I tell you to stay away from my son?
00:58:18She really does love Alan
00:58:21Alright then
00:58:23Listen to this
00:58:24Someone recorded the three of us arguing
00:58:26Makes me think that it was on purpose
00:58:32Don't
00:58:32It has to be Paolo
00:58:39I'm putting an end to this right now
00:58:41I won't let him ruin my life
00:58:48Ma?
00:58:49I thought I heard Joanne's voice
00:58:51Where is she?
00:58:51Yeah
00:58:52She was just here
00:58:53She went to go look for Paolo
00:58:55Did I ever see Paolo?
00:59:05Joanne!
00:59:06Alan!
00:59:08Looking for Joanne?
00:59:10She's probably meeting her ex-husband
00:59:12Probably getting remarried
00:59:13Oh, enough with the lies
00:59:15She's just using you
00:59:16The moment she got that partnership with Skycrest
00:59:19She tossed you aside like trash
00:59:24Find out who leaked it
00:59:25No trail, no screw-ups
00:59:27Go clean this up
00:59:28Get the fuck out of here!
00:59:32Clap, I'm surprised to see you so worked up about this
00:59:35I actually thought you were behind this
00:59:37Are you out of your mind?
00:59:39Why the hell would I sabotage my own exhibition?
00:59:43Because you want to ruin me
00:59:44And you know how hard I worked on this exhibition
00:59:47Don't forget who gave you your start, alright?
00:59:49You're an ungrateful bitch
00:59:51Please
00:59:52While I was pulling all-nighters designing for your clients
00:59:55You were outscrewing my assistant in our bed
00:59:58Don't place this around!
01:00:01I've made mistakes
01:00:01Sure, fine
01:00:03But we were good together
01:00:04Imagine
01:00:05You and me again?
01:00:07We would be unstoppable
01:00:13Get the hell away from me!
01:00:14Are you okay?
01:00:15Did he try anything?
01:00:16Did he hurt you?
01:00:16No
01:00:17Paolo and I were having a private conversation
01:00:19You should go
01:00:20Joanne, wait
01:00:21Just come with me
01:00:22I'll talk to my mom
01:00:25I'm willing to do whatever it takes to be friends again
01:00:28Even if I tell you to stay away from my son?
01:00:32Actually
01:00:33I've decided to give Paolo another chance
01:00:39You're concerned getting back with this asshole?
01:00:41He doesn't deserve you, Joanne
01:00:43Careful, I'll
01:00:44I'm still the man she's married to
01:00:46And clearly
01:00:47I still have a better shot than you do
01:00:51So Mindy was right, then
01:00:53You are getting back together
01:00:55Mindy
01:00:58Believe Mindy, then
01:01:01We're getting back together
01:01:13Congrats, Joanne
01:01:14You two are the perfect match
01:01:17Great taste in art
01:01:19And no awkward age gap
01:01:23You can both leave now
01:01:30I can't wait to put a ring on your finger again
01:01:34Don't flatter yourself
01:01:36You're not even close
01:01:50Joanne's back with Paolo
01:01:54Alan's devastated
01:01:55You heard her say that?
01:01:57She tossed him like trash
01:01:58The moment she landed the Skycrest partnership
01:02:01What a cruel woman
01:02:03Aunt Lily
01:02:04I'll take care of Alan
01:02:20Mindy
01:02:20Can we chat for a moment?
01:02:31Aunt Lily
01:02:32Honestly
01:02:33I really wish you were Alan's girlfriend
01:02:37Really?
01:02:38Auntie Lily?
01:02:40Yeah
01:02:40Joanne's delusional
01:02:42She's like twice his age
01:02:44I really want that woman
01:02:45Just out of my life for good
01:02:47Alan
01:02:48I could help you get rid of Joanne
01:02:50Auntie Lily
01:02:52You know, if only we had something like that humiliating video that went viral
01:03:00Funny that you mention it
01:03:01That video
01:03:03I made it
01:03:05Joanne never deserved Alan
01:03:07She's been using him this whole time
01:03:09Finally
01:03:10I found the person
01:03:12Trying to ruin my son's reputation
01:03:15Now
01:03:15I just need a plan
01:03:17To stop her
01:03:25Mom
01:03:26Why the hell is she here?
01:03:28And what the hell were you two talking about?
01:03:30She brought you home
01:03:31You should thank her
01:03:33We had a nice chat
01:03:34I really want her to be my future daughter-in-law
01:03:42Also, I'm thinking we should all go to your art exhibition's opening
01:03:45I want you to pull the plug on your deal with Joanne and sign with Mindy instead
01:03:50That's bullshit
01:03:51She's been lying to you, Mom
01:03:52Sweetheart
01:03:53Why don't you go back home now?
01:03:55Let me talk some sense into Alan
01:03:58Mom
01:03:59What are you doing?
01:04:01Mom, what are you doing?
01:04:02I know Mindy's up to something
01:04:04Let's just play along
01:04:09Joanne
01:04:09Any comment on the rumors?
01:04:11You and Skycrest
01:04:12Is it serious?
01:04:13I'd really appreciate if we could keep the attention on the exhibition today
01:04:16Thank you
01:04:21Joanne's right
01:04:22Art
01:04:23Should be the headline today
01:04:25As for our relationship
01:04:28We're strictly professional
01:04:36Joanne, rumor has it
01:04:38You and Pal are just business partners now
01:04:40Any truth to the breakup?
01:04:43Palo, is it true?
01:04:44As you can see, we're still
01:04:46Exactly
01:04:47We're still very much a team
01:04:48Both in business and in life
01:04:56Joanne, I've got a big opening present for you
01:04:59What a joke!
01:05:02You two?
01:05:03A couple?
01:05:04Don't make me laugh
01:05:07Joanna isn't some charming girl boss
01:05:10She's a washed up husband
01:05:12Who sleeps her way into partnerships
01:05:14She seduced Skycrest like she always does
01:05:17With that fake grace
01:05:19And those tired
01:05:20Old
01:05:21Old tricks
01:05:30This is me being gentle with my ex's mistress
01:05:33The home wrecker
01:05:35Get out!
01:05:36Hello, are you just gonna stand there while this bitch humiliates me?
01:05:41Don't make a scene
01:05:42I'll freshen up and we'll talk somewhere else, okay?
01:05:49We are done!
01:05:50You are a squirreless douche!
01:05:52No, baby, baby!
01:05:53Come on, we can work it out!
01:05:55Useless
01:05:59You dirty, manipulative tramp!
01:06:02Playing the victim while assaulting others in public?
01:06:05You don't deserve to be up there
01:06:06You need to get your filthy ass out of here right now!
01:06:11You can press charges
01:06:13But I'll sue for defamation and invasion of privacy
01:06:16See my private investigator?
01:06:20Traced the viral video
01:06:22And you and Sue leaked it
01:06:26They even tracked the IP address
01:06:28This is solid proof
01:06:29Yeah, it was me
01:06:32So what?
01:06:34Your little service act ends right here
01:06:37You are no longer directing the Skycrest Exhibition
01:06:41Says who?
01:06:43Skycrest himself
01:06:52You are no longer qualified to be the director of the Skycrest Exhibition
01:06:58I'm sorry for everything, Joy
01:07:01Say it!
01:07:02Tell her she's out, Alan
01:07:03Alan?
01:07:05Scared now?
01:07:06Too late?
01:07:07Hold on
01:07:13Before I name my new director
01:07:16I'd like to give her a special gift
01:07:20A painting
01:07:29Is this some kind of joke?
01:07:32No joke
01:07:33This is the woman I'm deeply in love with
01:07:38You played me
01:07:40Played you
01:07:41There's no room for lies in love
01:07:43You and Sue both spread false, horrendous lies about us
01:07:46They'll both be hearing from our lawyers
01:07:48Alan, please
01:07:50I did it all for you
01:07:52Then you never really knew me
01:07:54With Joanne by my side, I can keep creating a Skycrest
01:07:57Trust, she's my muse
01:07:59She's my muse
01:07:59My truth
01:08:10What are you going to call it?
01:08:13Friends
01:08:14Because that's where all love starts
01:08:16Because that's where all love starts
