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.
00:00:17It'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 going to go take a nap in the office.
00:00:34Don't wake me up, unless it's important, sweetie.
00:00:43For 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. We can celebrate your exhibition.
00:01:01Don't bring up Joanne. I can't even get it up for that broken brood.
00:01:05When are you going to 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 going to dump that wrinkly old motherfucking bitch
00:01:24at me.
00:01:36Joanne, no, no, it's not what you think.
00:01:39I am out there busting my ass, and you're in here fucking my secretary?
00:01:42The two of you are fucking disgusting!
00:01:51Enough, Joanne! This is pathetic!
00:01:55If you even look through 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.
00:03:02She's an amazing curator.
00:03:04I can see that. I'd love Tamir 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.
00:03:12Sky 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's soup.
00:03:29Enough about that cheating lowlife.
00:03:33All old men do is take advantage of young women.
00:03:36I mean, just look at both our husbands.
00:03:38Each got 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.
00:03:52I 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 a bitch.
00:03:58I don't blame you.
00:04:00Most older women are like me.
00:04:02Hot messes with cheating husbands.
00:04:05Listen, girl.
00:04:06Priority number one.
00:04:08Protect your money.
00:04:09That's why I found you the best divorce lawyer.
00:04:13And I 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.
00:04:23Oh my God, you are so cringe.
00:04:25Bathroom break.
00:04:27Your lawyer will be your son.
00:04:32God.
00:04:37The woman I met at the gallery.
00:04:39I didn't expect to see you here.
00:04:44And I didn't expect you to be so young.
00:04:58Whoa.
00:04:59Are all divorce slayers 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?
00:05:25Just ruin 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, does 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, plus another hundred, so you can stop speaking.
00:05:49Bitch, are you serious?
00:05:51You want to take this outside?
00:05:54No.
00:05:57No.
00:05:59Come on.
00:06:00Go, go.
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.
00:06:18Do I really look like your mom?
00:06:20You look beautiful.
00:06:24You're too young to know the difference.
00:06:26You don't know what you're talking.
00:06:51Well, we should stop.
00:06:53You're too young for me.
00:06:54You sure?
00:06:56Because you couldn't be anywhere right now.
00:06:58Oh, I just want you inside me.
00:07:18Shit!
00:07:19I brought my lawyer to Lily's house?
00:07:21How drunk was I?
00:07:29I brought her to my mom's place.
00:07:31I 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.
00:07:46Okay, one shower, and then I'll go.
00:07:57You all right, Joanne?
00:07:59Uh, I'm fine.
00:08:02Shit.
00:08:07Hey.
00:08:09What's up, Lily?
00:08:11Uh, is anybody in there?
00:08:14No.
00:08:16I turned the shower on, but no water came out.
00:08:20But now it's working.
00:08:22All right.
00:08:23Um, Paolo called.
00:08:27Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:28Basically, he's coming over and wants to talk about the divorce.
00:08:34Great.
00:08:38My husband's out of sight.
00:08:39We gotta go.
00:08:40Right now.
00:08:41Come on.
00:08:43What do you mean?
00:08:44Come, come, come.
00:08:51You know, you drive me off there, then my mom never did.
00:08:55I'm kidding.
00:08:56I'm kidding.
00:08:59Joanne, 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 no real lawyer or so.
00:09:31Who the hell are you?
00:09:40Uh, Paolo.
00:09:42You must be Lily's kid.
00:09:44Right?
00:09:45Shit, you're 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, they're all so shallow.
00:10:21I mean, they're not beautiful and smart and deep like you are, Joanne.
00:10:27Please!
00:10:28Please!
00:10:29Please!
00:10:30Please!
00:10:31Please!
00:10:32Isn't that her soon-to-be ex-husband?
00:10:35What on earth could they be talking about?
00:10:39Let's-let's start over again.
00:10:41Please!
00:10:41I mean, no press, no lawyers.
00:10:44Okay, just us.
00:10:44We'll sort it out.
00:10:46I'll do anything you want.
00:10:49Therapy?
00:10:51Travel.
00:10:52You name it!
00:10:57I have one condition.
00:11:03And that condition is...
00:11:05Stay the hell away from me.
00:11:08I never want to see your face again.
00:11:10If you leave now, I'll spare you some dignity and make sure the investors remember you in a better light.
00:11:18Joanne!
00:11:19Keep your mouth shut!
00:11:22And we both win.
00:11:24The news hears about our divorce?
00:11:26We're screwed!
00:11:27I didn't think about that when you were screwing Sue in our gallery.
00:11:31You're making my life hell.
00:11:33I will drag you down with me.
00:11:35No!
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.
00:11:57Uh, I think you should go too.
00:11:59You know, since this isn't your house.
00:12:03Right.
00:12:04Lily can't know about this right now.
00:12:06I gotta go.
00:12:13Call me.
00:12:17I'll think about it.
00:12:25Alan, where did our visitor go?
00:12:27That guy came by to harass his ex-wife, so I taught him a lesson.
00:12:30Oh.
00:12:31Well, he deserves it.
00:12:33So, about last night, who 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.
00:12:54We 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.
00:13:05I mean, we'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.
00:13:12Well, it was love at first sight.
00:13:16Okay.
00:13:17So, 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.
00:13:35You got me loose.
00:13:38My heart was drunk.
00:13:40Hello?
00:13:47This is Joanne.
00:13:48Is 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 know about that.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:11Hey, what's up?
00:14:12I've been waiting to hear from you all day.
00:14:18Hey.
00:14:19Hey.
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.
00:14:36Who 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?
00:15:03A locket?
00:15:06That is so sweet.
00:15:10It's empty.
00:15:11We'll fill it soon.
00:15:12But right now, I have something more important in mind.
00:15:27You know this is?
00:15:28This is my favorite.
00:15:30This is Al Skycrest.
00:15:31His work is just bold.
00:15:34It's beautiful.
00:15:36But there's still this hint of sadness.
00:15:40You can tell he's been through a lot.
00:15:43He's sensitive.
00:15:46That was really insightful, John.
00:15:50Do you know how special you are to me?
00:16:05I'm late for Lily's birthday party.
00:16:10I actually have someone to be.
00:16:12Oh.
00:16:13Would you want to come with me?
00:16:15I'd love to, but 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, young man.
00:16:59How have you been lately?
00:17:00He didn't even acknowledge Lily.
00:17:02For a second, I actually thought he was her son.
00:17:04It's so ridiculous.
00:17:08Is this how you pissed your confidence?
00:17:10By screwing some minor?
00:17:13You 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.
00:17:25How you went to his office and begged for him to take you back.
00:17:29Listen up.
00:17:29He's mine now.
00:17:31Leave my man alone, Grandma.
00:17:35Nice diamond bracelets.
00:17:36Wow.
00:17:37It looks like someone's still using my money to spoil their mistress before our assets are
00:17:42officially split.
00:17:43Bullshit.
00:17:44Pels loaded.
00:17:45You were begging him for money for years.
00:17:47Oh.
00:17:48Max out those credit cards while you can.
00:17:50After this phone call, they 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, the total for your hotel balcony and lunch comes to $4,000.
00:18:05It went through.
00:18:09Full of shit just like I thought, Grandma.
00:18:15Lie to me all you want.
00:18:16My cards are as good as gold.
00:18:19What?
00:18:20I'm sorry, miss.
00:18:21It looks like the card only covered the lunch.
00:18:23Could you swipe it again, please?
00:18:34Are you serious?
00:18:35Your stupid machine must be broken.
00:18:38Oh, should I call security?
00:18:40It looks like someone's trying to dine and dash.
00:18:43You old witch.
00:18:44You hacked my cards.
00:18:45Give me my money back.
00:18:48You 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.
00:19:15Nice aim back there.
00:19:16Thanks.
00:19:18Who was that anyway?
00:19:19Oh, her?
00:19:20Just some woman my husband cheated on me with.
00:19:24Thanks 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.
00:20:03Lily couldn't see us.
00:20:04She's not wearing your glasses today.
00:20:06I should go.
00:20:07My friend's waiting for me at the hotel.
00:20:09What?
00:20:20This must be Lily's son.
00:20:22Makes sense.
00:20:23Good skin, polite, but terrible fashion sense.
00:20:28There you are.
00:20:29Hi.
00:20:29You must have met my son.
00:20:31I texted him to meet you at the door.
00:20:32Yep.
00:20:33He seems like a real gentleman.
00:20:35I'm glad to hear it.
00:20:36He's making his mom proud.
00:20:38Oh, so how'd it go with the lawyer?
00:20:41I'm kind of seeing him.
00:20:42No.
00:20:43What?
00:20:45But actually, the guy I thought was the lawyer wasn't.
00:20:49So, I got it mixed up at first.
00:20:51Oh, wait.
00:20:52Tell me everything.
00:20:53What's his name?
00:20:56His name's out.
00:20:57So, this is what you're doing now?
00:20:58Telling everyone that you slept with some younger guy?
00:21:03Hey, what 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 catches wind at any kind of drama like this.
00:21:23He'll pull out of our exhibition.
00:21:25Alan, go 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 buttering up Skycrest's agent
00:21:34while you were busy fucking your side piece.
00:21:36The only reason this exhibition exists is 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 except for Joanne.
00:21:59How's this?
00:22:00You give me Skycrest's agent's contact.
00:22:03You can just sit back and collect your cut.
00:22:06Sure.
00:22:07Give me 50% of the shares in your company
00:22:10and I might consider it.
00:22:12Fucking out of your mind.
00:22:14I don't even need you to get to Skycrest.
00:22:16I 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 knight in shining armor?
00:22:27Beat it, you little punk.
00:22:29Give me that phone.
00:22:30I'll call him myself.
00:22:36Lay one more finger on her
00:22:38and I swear to God you'll regret it.
00:22:47You'll regret this.
00:22:51Come on.
00:23:01Tonight?
00:23:03Shouldn'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
00:23:24to be barking at me.
00:23:24Honey,
00:23:25you'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?
00:23:37You can go.
00:23:38I can handle this.
00:23:39Speak to the devil.
00:23:42It's okay.
00:23:43I might be able to help.
00:23:44It's not as simple as it seems.
00:23:45This investor is a big name.
00:23:47I got this.
00:23:49Hey,
00:23:50this table's for adults only.
00:23:52Get the fuck out of here,
00:23:53little boy.
00:23:57Huh?
00:23:58Text your mommy to come pick you up?
00:24:00You might want to get that.
00:24:02Could be important.
00:24:03Hmm.
00:24:10Yes?
00:24:11Uh,
00:24:11yes, sir?
00:24:12No,
00:24:12no,
00:24:13I 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
00:24:34keep pretending to be the perfect married couple,
00:24:37or you're out.
00:24:38Period.
00:24:39Didn't you just say that you were making me
00:24:41the exhibition director?
00:24:42Why are you backing up now?
00:24:44Shut up.
00:24:45These are Al Skycrest's orders.
00:24:48We're doing this.
00:24:49Or he's pulling out.
00:24:52Looks like someone has a very powerful ally.
00:25:03Well?
00:25:06What?
00:25:07I've never met Al Skycrest.
00:25:09Why would he help me?
00:25:11Well,
00:25:12maybe 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,
00:25:21you know,
00:25:21delivered 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,
00:25:38I know his Asian.
00:25:38We're very,
00:25:39very close friends.
00:25:41Play your cards right,
00:25:42and you might just get Al Skycrest's best piece
00:25:44at your art exhibit.
00:25:45And you're not bluffing.
00:25:47Not when it comes to you.
00:25:52Cheers.
00:25:53Cheers.
00:25:54Cheers.
00:25:54Cheers.
00:25:55Cheers.
00:25:55Cheers.
00:25:56Cheers.
00:26:07Alan?
00:26:10Jeez,
00:26:10okay.
00:26:11What are you fighting,
00:26:11a naked girl?
00:26:13Worse.
00:26:14An unfinished one.
00:26:18That watch.
00:26:20Looks so familiar.
00:26:24Mom,
00:26:25what?
00:26:25I'm working.
00:26:26It's nothing.
00:26:27I'm just looking forward to this new piece.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Okay.
00:26:33Okay.
00:26:52Mom,
00:26:52what are you doing?
00:26:53Oh,
00:26:54this is private.
00:26:55I didn't,
00:26:56I swear.
00:26:56I didn't,
00:26:57I 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,
00:27:03I 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,
00:27:13his 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.
00:27:23He said,
00:27:25I'm sorry.
00:27:26I just want Alan to find someone his age,
00:27:30settle down,
00:27:31and have the kind of happiness I never got.
00:27:37I shouldn't have shouted at mom like that.
00:27:40I should apologize.
00:27:50He's from my mom and Joanne.
00:27:55Alan?
00:28:07Hey,
00:28:08funny timing.
00:28:09I was just talking about you.
00:28:11I'm,
00:28:11I'm at dinner.
00:28:12Who are you having dinner with?
00:28:13My best friend,
00:28:14Lily.
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,
00:28:21I told you about her.
00:28:22She's like family to me.
00:28:24You guys have to meet.
00:28:27Oh,
00:28:28hey,
00:28:28I see you.
00:28:30Hello?
00:28:32Is everything okay?
00:28:34Yeah,
00:28:35I 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,
00:28:49hey.
00:28:49Ah,
00:28:50so I actually have to tell you who Harris is.
00:28:53So,
00:28:54that friend of yours,
00:28:55and Lily,
00:28:55she...
00:28:56You saw me,
00:28:56you 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,
00:29:02it's not what I'm...
00:29:03Don't touch me.
00:29:29Maybe I should give him another chance to explain.
00:29:49I just came to get my credit card.
00:29:51No,
00:29:52wait,
00:29:52Joanne!
00:29:52Seriously?
00:29:53You actually caught feelings for that granny?
00:29:55Shut up,
00:29:56Mindy.
00:29:56Yes,
00:29:57I caught feelings for that woman.
00:29:58And stop with the touchy shit,
00:30:00or we're done.
00:30:01Forever.
00:30:04Stop calling my mom up,
00:30:05Lily.
00:30:08You'll regret this out,
00:30:09Skycrest.
00:30:14Joanne,
00:30:14please,
00:30:15I can explain everything.
00:30:16Just open up.
00:30:18You can take your little empty locket
00:30:21and leave.
00:30:22I've had enough of your childish games.
00:30:25Joanne,
00:30:26please,
00:30:26it's all big misunderstanding,
00:30:27I swear.
00:30:28There is no misunderstanding.
00:30:31I am pathetic
00:30:32for falling for someone like you.
00:30:35You're
00:30:35young,
00:30:37you're rich,
00:30:38you're
00:30:38handsome.
00:30:40Why would you want to be with someone my age?
00:30:45I love you,
00:30:46Joanne.
00:30:50We are not right together.
00:30:52You're almost old enough to be my son.
00:30:55Actually,
00:30:55I have a friend who has a son your age.
00:31:00You know,
00:31:00I'm just glad we met.
00:31:02Because,
00:31:04no matter what,
00:31:04I 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.
00:31:14Crazy in love with you.
00:31:16I can't live without you,
00:31:18Joanne.
00:31:18I mean,
00:31:19when you were walking away earlier,
00:31:20it felt like my whole world was just...
00:31:22shattered.
00:31:40I want to introduce you to my mom.
00:31:43That's...
00:31:43fast.
00:31:44I mean,
00:31:45who knows?
00:31:45You might know each other.
00:31:47After all,
00:31:48you both swim in 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 Apollo.
00:32:08Truth.
00:32:10Get the hell out of the house!
00:32:14So what's your mom like?
00:32:15Do you think we get along?
00:32:17Well, I...
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 all right.
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 credo, Robert.
00:32:43Watch your mouth.
00:32:44And get out before I call the cops on you.
00:32:51You all right?
00:32:53Yeah.
00:33:03Care to explain this?
00:33:05Sudden divorce?
00:33:07I have no idea where those rumors came from.
00:33:09If you can't quiet this mess,
00:33:11Paolo,
00:33:13you're through.
00:33:14You hear me?
00:33:16Then Joanne must pay.
00:33:18I'll make sure she's finished.
00:33:19You damn will.
00:33:21Better!
00:33:22For 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.
00:33:33Please.
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.
00:33:41We've been through it all.
00:33:42I 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 20-something,
00:33:53frankly, I respect her decision as a feminist.
00:33:56I 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!
00:34:04All right?
00:34:05I'll take responsibility for the losses.
00:34:07I've already contacted Skycrest's agent.
00:34:09If he agrees, I'll be the sole organizer.
00:34:17Al Skycrest is here!
00:34:29I am Mrs. Skycrest's agent.
00:34:31He has issued a statement that he is not canceling the upcoming exhibition.
00:34:34And I miss Joanne here will stay on as its director.
00:34:37What the hell is going on here?
00:34:40Look at this.
00:34:42Skycrest's social media account just followed someone.
00:34:46It's Joanne!
00:34:47He's never followed anyone before.
00:34:57I can't stand being all over the internet.
00:35:01Hey, Joanne.
00:35:03Rumor has it you're dating Skycrest?
00:35:07Spill.
00:35:08Are we actually seeing him?
00:35:14No, 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?
00:35:32I'm gonna throw a party.
00:35:33Inviting the media.
00:35:35It's time to set the record straight.
00:35:36Thank you so much.
