00:04Dolores, I need you here, now, and we're discussing another raise.
00:10Babe, why are you in a rush?
00:13I told you yesterday, I don't do the morning after.
00:17But you don't really mean that.
00:21Please leave. Shower if you need to.
00:23Grab a change of clothes, but I need you to go.
00:27Fine.
00:29I should have listened.
00:32Listen to what?
00:34The woman in the bathroom, and who told me you'd sleep with me and break my heart.
00:38How could I have possibly broken your heart?
00:40I met you last night.
00:46Dad's waiting. He's always waiting.
00:49For me to fail.
00:53Disappointed, but not surprised.
00:55I built a billion-dollar company from nothing.
00:58Named it after Mom.
01:01Still not enough.
01:02It's never enough.
01:04Today I convince him.
01:23Emble Steakhouse, and step on it.
01:31No, no, no, no.
01:34The one day, the own day, the owner does a check-in.
01:43If I get fired, we're both eating ramen for a month.
01:46Wow.
02:00You're late.
02:01I know.
02:03I'm so sorry.
02:04My alarm...
02:05Cleaning duty.
02:06No tables today.
02:07But that means no tips.
02:09Should have thought about that before showing up 40 minutes late on inspection day.
02:17Congratulations.
02:19You're not pregnant.
02:22What?
02:25God!
02:33You have got to be kidding me.
02:36Sorry, Luna.
02:36They told us at the beginning of the shift.
02:38Customer bathrooms only today.
02:40Plumber comes at noon.
02:42Need a tampon?
02:45Black cat.
02:46Broken mirror.
02:47Chain mail.
02:48Something cursed me.
02:49Something definitely cursed me.
02:59Hello?
03:02Yes?
03:04Do you, um, have a tampon?
03:07If you don't, there's a dispenser nearby.
03:11One second.
03:16Is everything okay?
03:18I got this.
03:19I swear.
03:20Just give me a second.
03:22I'm so sorry.
03:23Oh my god.
03:25Don't be sorry.
03:26This day couldn't possibly get any worse.
03:29My alarm didn't go off.
03:30I got my period early.
03:32This co-worker who hates me announced it to everyone.
03:36The employee bathrooms are broken.
03:38And our asses waiters in white.
03:41I'm not superstitious, but this bad luck is...
03:44Today's been pretty shitty for me, too.
03:47Don't apologize.
03:48I get it.
03:51Hold on.
03:55Sorry, you're gonna have to open up.
03:57I can't slide it under.
04:05So much.
04:06And I'd appreciate your discretion.
04:09Of course.
04:10I understand.
04:12What's your name?
04:14Luna.
04:14Luna Reyes.
04:15And yours?
04:16Vivian Ashforth.
04:18Um, nice to meet you.
04:20Nice to meet you, too.
04:22What just happened?
04:23What just happened?
04:29I can do it.
04:31You'll find someone to marry.
04:33You'll become religious.
04:34You will maintain a respectable public image.
04:37I'll be a born-again Christian if that's what it takes.
04:42You know what your timeline is, Vivian.
04:45Convince me before then, and the company will be yours.
04:48I promise, Dad.
04:50I'll be married by the end of the month.
04:54Derek Lawson has already presented his five-year plan to the board.
04:57Impressive numbers.
04:58Derek Lawson is a parasite who attached himself to our family name.
05:02He's practical, obedient, traditional.
05:06He's not your blood.
05:07Neither is stubbornness a qualification for CEO.
05:10Five months, Vivian.
05:11That's what the doctors gave me.
05:14If you haven't proven yourself by then, the board votes, and they will choose Derek.
05:19I won't let that happen.
05:20A wife, a church, a spotless reputation.
05:24That's the minimum.
05:26You'll have it.
05:30We'll see.
05:35A wife.
05:36Where the hell am I going to find a wife?
05:44Table 12.
05:45The Elizabeth booth.
05:46VIP.
05:46Do not mess this up.
05:57The woman from the bathroom.
05:59Oh, God.
06:00Hello?
06:01Um, hi.
06:02I'm Luna.
06:02Luna Reyes.
06:03I'll be your waitress today.
06:04What are your drinks of preference?
06:06I am Richard Ashford.
06:07This is my daughter, Vivian.
06:08I would like a water, two cubes of ice.
06:10She would like a Shirley Temple.
06:11No ice.
06:14Is that all?
06:17That's all.
06:24Get out!
06:25You're done!
06:33If I'm not convinced before the five months are up, Vivian...
06:37A wife and a wholesome reputation.
06:38I know.
06:39I'll do it.
06:46Wait.
06:48What did you hear?
06:51Nothing.
06:57You!
06:58I want you fired!
06:59Hi.
07:00Are you guys hiring?
07:08Does that say Luna Reyes?
07:11Yes.
07:13We're not hiring.
07:14But you just...
07:15We're not hiring.
07:17Please leave this fine establishment.
07:19Since when has Applebee's ever been considered a fine establishment?
07:3024 rejections.
07:3124 rejections.
07:3124.
07:32He didn't just get me fired.
07:33He got me blacklisted.
07:34Every chain in the city knows my name.
07:36If I can't work, I can't pay rent.
07:38If I can't pay rent, I'd have to leave New York.
07:41This city is the only thing I have left.
07:43It was there when no one else was.
07:45There has to be another way.
07:48Corin Industries.
07:50Billion dollar enterprise Ashfield Empire heir needs to marry to inherit?
07:54She needs a wife.
07:55I need money.
07:56This is either the smartest or the stupidest thing I've ever done.
07:59You're a very beautiful woman.
08:00What's your ethnicity?
08:01Wait, let me guess.
08:03Egyptian.
08:04Right.
08:05And I see no wedding ring.
08:06Are you single?
08:08Tell me more about Corin Industries.
08:10The CEO's office.
08:11Would that be on the top floor?
08:13Yes, the hundredth floor.
08:14But are you busy Friday evening?
08:17It's just with Aunt Eleanor gone and my period this week.
08:21Do you need to use the bathroom?
08:23Oh, I wouldn't want to waste our time.
08:25Please, down the hall next to the fire escape.
08:29She's 17.
08:30She needs a leaf.
08:32I need money.
08:35I need money.
08:42Stay where you are.
08:43I can explain, I swear.
08:45Luna Reyes.
08:56Vivian.
09:02I know her.
09:07What are you?
09:08I wanted, Tamir.
09:09Come here.
09:11Your security is really good.
09:13I was here for barely any time.
09:15Thermal detector.
09:16Your heat signature triggered the alarm.
09:18Lots of people want to kill you, I guess.
09:20Only a couple murder attempts a year.
09:22Tough life.
09:23Being a billionaire.
09:24What are you doing here?
09:27Here.
09:31You want to get married?
09:33That was the entire point of the contract, yes.
09:35And you don't mind pretending to be in love?
09:37In front of my father, my family, everyone?
09:39Not if you don't.
09:40And when there's no more use for the marriage?
09:41No moral quills with divorce?
09:43I'm hardly religious, I don't mind.
09:45It's a good business deal.
09:46Do you have a pen?
09:46A pen?
09:48To sign?
09:48I didn't actually think that far.
09:52Should I prick my finger and write my name in blood?
09:57I'm going to remember something you said.
10:00What?
10:00I'd rather sleep with anyone else in the world first.
10:04I'm not taking it back.
10:07I don't want you to.
10:08I want you to regret it.
10:11We have a wedding to plan.
10:16Let me get this straight.
10:18A waitress who you met once broke into your building, climbed 30 flights of stairs, and
10:21proposed a fake marriage?
10:22And you said yes?
10:23It's a business arrangement.
10:24You have a list of vetted candidates.
10:25Models, celebrities, hedge fund daughters.
10:27I canceled the interviews.
10:28For a waitress.
10:30She had a thorough contract.
10:32Is she pretty?
10:33That's irrelevant.
10:35So, she's gorgeous.
10:39What do you actually know about her?
10:41She's resourceful, brave, stubborn.
10:45She treated me like a person, not a bank account.
10:48You like her?
10:49It's business.
10:51Viv, I've known you since we were 15.
10:53You've never talked about anyone like this.
10:55Only there.
11:00Luna.
11:04Are you okay?
11:05Fine.
11:06Are you okay?
11:06I'm sorry about earlier.
11:07I don't do well with surprises.
11:09If you want to end the contract, no.
11:11I still want to marry you.
11:12Professionally.
11:13I swear I won't throw a drink in your face next time.
11:15Good.
11:15I mean good.
11:16For the macaroon.
11:17To repay you.
11:19A thousand dollars?
11:20For a pink macaroon?
11:22It's...
11:22I won't take your charity.
11:24Come on.
11:25We have an agreed amount.
11:26Fair is fair.
11:27This isn't an exchange.
11:28This is you feeling sorry for me.
11:30I don't...
11:30No.
11:43We need to discuss living arrangements.
11:45I'm being evicted anyway, so...
11:47Fine.
11:48I'll send a car.
11:49Ikanta get the suboe.
11:51With a cat and six boxes.
11:56Send the car.
12:08Don't get used to this.
12:10Your room is the second on the left.
12:12It has its own bathroom.
12:15If you want to change anything.
12:16My own room?
12:17Obviously.
12:20This is a business arrangement.
12:23Right.
12:24Obviously.
12:27Cleopatra, no!
12:31She has good taste.
12:33She has terrible taste.
12:35She eats shoelaces.
12:39Hello, Cleopatra.
12:41She doesn't usually like strangers.
12:43I'm not a stranger.
12:45I'm her other mom now.
12:48Don't...
12:49Don't...
12:49Don't say it like that.
12:53Wedding planning starts tomorrow.
12:55Get some rest.
12:58Traitor.
13:01Bennett.
13:02Clear my afternoon.
13:04I have a personal errand.
13:06We need rings.
13:08Can't you just...
13:09Order them online?
13:11My father would notice a cheap ring from across the room.
13:13We're going to Tiffany's.
13:15Tiffany's!
13:16Everyone's looking at us.
13:20They're looking at you.
13:21What?
13:22No, they're definitely looking at the woman in a 3,000 suit.
13:2512,000.
13:26What?
13:27The suit was 12,000.
13:28I hate you.
13:33For the happy couple, congratulations.
13:37Something simple.
13:38Elegant.
13:39Not ostentatious.
13:43This one's nice.
13:46It suits you.
13:50That one is $42,000.
13:52Absolutely not!
13:53We'll take two.
13:54Vivian, it's part of the act.
13:55Let me do this.
13:57Fine.
13:58But I'm giving it back after.
13:59We'll see.
14:02We need a backstory.
14:04How we met.
14:05How long we've been dating.
14:07First date.
14:07All of it.
14:08Can't we just say we met at the restaurant?
14:11My father had you fired from that restaurant.
14:13He'd never believe I started dating the woman who dumped fondue on him.
14:16Fair point.
14:17So, where did we meet?
14:18The Firefleet Cafe.
14:19It's a queer cafe I've gone to since I was a teenager.
14:21Believable setting.
14:22Okay.
14:23And our first date?
14:24Central Park.
14:25Picnic.
14:25Sunset.
14:26I researched common first dates.
14:28You researched romance?
14:29I research everything.
14:32Okay.
14:32What about physical stuff?
14:34What about it?
14:35If we're married, people expect us to be comfortable with each other.
14:38Touching, holding hands, maybe kissing.
14:41We should practice.
14:42Practice?
14:43Holding hands.
14:44So it looks natural.
14:49This is fine.
14:51Completely fine.
14:53What about the kiss?
14:55We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
14:58Good night, Luna.
15:01Good night.
15:06Do you, Vivian Ashfield, take Luna Reyes to be your lawfully wedded wife?
15:12I do.
15:14And do you, Luna Reyes, take Vivian Ashfield to be your lawfully wedded wife?
15:21I do.
15:22You may kiss the bride.
15:34Beautiful.
15:36Absolutely beautiful.
15:37I didn't prepare for this.
15:39That was adequate.
15:42Yeah.
15:43Yeah.
15:44Adequate.
15:47Thank you for doing this.
15:49Thank you for letting me.
15:58So, this is the woman.
16:00Dad, this is Luna, my wife.
16:04It's nice to meet you, Mr. Ashford.
16:06Sit.
16:09How did you two meet?
16:10The Firefly Cafe, eight months ago.
16:13And what do you do, Luna?
16:14I'm between positions right now.
16:17I was a waitress.
16:18A waitress?
16:19Dad.
16:19I didn't say anything.
16:21Where did you waitress?
16:23A few places around the city.
16:25Most recently, a steakhouse.
16:27You look familiar.
16:28I get that a lot.
16:31Tell me about your family.
16:33My mother was Egyptian.
16:35She passed when I was young.
16:36I was raised by my aunt in New York.
16:38And your father?
16:39Never knew him.
16:41No family money.
16:42That's enough.
16:42I'm making conversation with my daughter-in-law.
16:44You understand my concern?
16:46Women have tried to marry into this family before, for obvious reasons.
16:49I married your daughter, Mr. Ashfield.
16:51Not your bank account.
16:59Congratulations on the wedding, Vivian.
17:01Quite sudden, wasn't it?
17:04When you know, you know.
17:06Of course.
17:06And your wife, Luna, is it?
17:08Charming girl.
17:09Waitress background, I hear.
17:10Is there a point to this, Derek?
17:11Just making conversation.
17:12The board has questions, naturally, about stability, about image.
17:15Your father's health is declining, and the shareholders want assurance that whoever takes the helm is settled.
17:20I'm married.
17:21I'd say that's settled.
17:23Married for three weeks to a woman nobody's heard of.
17:26Forgive me if the board needs more convincing.
17:29My proposal.
17:30A ten-year growth strategy, vetted by three independent firms.
17:35I'll review it.
17:37Take your time.
17:38We have, what did the doctor say?
17:39Five months?
17:44Over V dichter.
17:45He makes a strong case, Vivian.
17:50Meeting adjourned.
17:52Meeting adjourned.
17:52I don't know.
18:23You cooked. Don't sound so shocked. I worked in restaurants for eight years.
18:32You didn't have to. You look stressed in your text, even through a four-letter word somehow.
18:37Is it bad? This is the best thing I've ever eaten. You're being dramatic. I'm not. I've
18:42eaten at Michelin star restaurants on four continents. This is better. How was the meeting?
18:46Really? Derek Lawence is positioning himself. The board is listening. My father is dying and
18:51the vultures are circling. What do you need? I need the board to see me as stable, trustfully,
18:56someone with roots. So we need to be more visible as a couple. A charity gala is coming up. Three
19:03weeks from now, every major player in New York will be there. You want me to go? I need you
19:08to go.
19:08And I need everyone there to believe we're in love.
19:15Then we'll make them believe it. Thank you, Luna. That's what vives are for.
19:21Professionally speaking.
19:32You look adequate. No, not adequate. May I?
19:56Vivian, introduce us to your wife. This is Luna, the love of my life. She's being modest.
20:03I'm actually the love of her life and the reason she eats vegetables now.
20:18Is this close enough? Almost.
20:26Find out everything about Luna, Reyes. Everything.
20:39I think that went well. You were perfect. You sound surprised.
20:43I'm not. I just... You made it easy. To pretend.
20:49That's the job, right? Right.
20:57Vivian.
20:57Yes. At the gala when we were dancing. Was any of that real?
21:07I guess not.
21:11Does it matter?
21:13This is a business arrangement. That's all.
21:16I'm not catching feelings for a billionaire. That would be insane.
21:21Don't judge me.
21:26I'm so screwed.
21:30Luna Reyes. 26. Egyptian American. Mother deceased. No father on record raised by an aunt who also passed.
21:37No criminal record. No college degree. Worked minimum wage jobs for the last eight years.
21:41And before Vivian, she was a waitress at Ember's Steakhouse. Fired after an incident involving Richard Ashford and fondue.
21:51The fondue girl. She's the fondue girl.
21:54Richard Ashford personally had her blacklisted from every major restaurant chain in New York.
21:58So the woman Richard Ashford despises is now his daughter-in-law.
22:02This is too good. What else?
22:04No evidence of a relationship between her and Vivian prior to four weeks ago.
22:07No social media history together. No mutual friends. Nothing.
22:10Because there was no relationship. This marriage is fake.
22:16I just need proof. Something concrete enough for the board and for Richard.
22:22There's one more thing. Luna Reyes was evicted from her apartment the same week she married Vivian Ashford.
22:28Evicted. And then suddenly married to a billionaire.
22:32Find me the contract. There has to be one. No one marries a stranger without paperwork.
22:38Richard, it's Derek. I think we should talk about your daughter-in-law.
22:50What's wrong?
22:51My father wants to see us. Both of us. Today.
22:55That doesn't sound...
22:57Derek called him.
22:59What does Derek know?
23:02I don't know yet.
23:04But if he's gone to my father, it's not good.
23:11Sit down.
23:15Derek has brought something to my attention.
23:17He claims your marriage is a fabrication.
23:20That's absurd.
23:22Is it? You've known each other for less than two months.
23:25There's no dating history. No social media. No mutual connections.
23:29And your wife was evicted from her apartment the same week you married.
23:34I moved in with my wife.
23:36That's what married people do.
23:37Or what people do when they're paid to pretend.
23:41Luna, look at me.
23:43Do you love my daughter?
23:50Yes. I love her.
23:53Leave us.
23:54Richard, I said leave.
23:58I'm watching.
24:00Both of you.
24:02Don't make me regret this.
24:04You are incredible.
24:10I wasn't acting.
24:19When's the last time you slept?
24:21Define slept.
24:23More than three hours?
24:29I wasn't finished.
24:31You're finished for tonight.
24:33Luna, Vivian, I can't afford to stop.
24:36Derek is-
24:36Derek can wait until morning.
24:38You can't run a company if you collapse.
24:42Lean back.
24:44I don't-
24:44Lean back.
24:47Tell me something.
24:49Not about work.
24:50Something real.
24:53My mother named her company after herself.
24:55Karine.
24:56She died when I was seven.
24:58Brain tumor.
24:59I remember her hands.
25:00She wore rings.
25:02Silver.
25:02Like mine.
25:03I started wearing them because as I was afraid I'd forget what she looked like.
25:06You won't forget.
25:08How do you know?
25:09Because you love her too much.
25:12That kind of love doesn't let you forget.
25:17Luna.
25:18Yeah?
25:25I'm not good at this.
25:27At what?
25:28Feeling things.
25:30You're better at it than you think.
25:40Coffee's on the counter.
25:44You let me fall asleep.
25:45You needed it.
25:50About last-
25:51You don't have to explain anything.
25:53I want to.
25:58I've never told anyone about my mother's rings.
26:01Not even Marco.
26:03Why did you tell me?
26:07I don't know.
26:09That's not true.
26:11I do know.
26:11I just don't know how to say it.
26:16Then don't say it.
26:18If I kiss you right now, it won't be for the cameras.
26:22I know.
26:29What?
26:30Your father's been hospitalized.
26:32You need to come now.
26:34I'm on my way.
26:36Go.
26:36I'll be right behind you.
26:45The cancer is progressing faster than we anticipated.
26:49We're looking at weeks now, not months.
26:51Yes.
26:54Thank you, doctor.
27:09Vivian.
27:10I'm here, dad.
27:14Come closer.
27:19You too.
27:25She looks at you the way your mother looked at me.
27:32Take care of her.
27:35She won't let anyone else.
27:37I will.
27:39The company is yours.
27:41I've already told the board.
27:43Dad.
27:44I should have said it years ago.
27:46You were always enough, Vivian.
27:50I was too proud to admit it.
28:05He's dying.
28:07I know.
28:08I spent my whole life trying to prove myself to him.
28:11And now...
28:22We need to talk about the contract.
28:24What about it?
28:26My father gave me the company.
28:28The original reason for our arrangement is fulfilled.
28:33So you're saying we're done?
28:35I'm saying the contract no longer applies.
28:38You've fulfilled your end.
28:40The money is yours.
28:41You're free to leave whenever you want.
28:46Is that what you want?
28:47For me to leave?
28:49What I want is irrelevant.
28:51This was a business deal.
28:53Stop calling it that.
28:54It is that.
28:55That's what we agreed.
28:56I know what we agreed.
28:58But things changed, Vivian.
29:00You know they did.
29:01The dancing.
29:02The couch.
29:04Last night at the hospital.
29:07This morning.
29:09When you almost kissed me.
29:13Was all of that business.
29:16Luna.
29:17Answer me.
29:17I can't give you what you want.
29:19What do you think I want?
29:21Someone who knows how to love.
29:22I don't...
29:22I've never...
29:23I...
29:24I sleep with women and send them away in the morning.
29:27That's all I know how to do.
29:29That's not all you know.
29:31You held my hand in front of your father.
29:33You told me about your mother's rings.
29:35You burned your hand on a stove.
29:38Because you were looking at me.
29:40You're terrified.
29:41I get it.
29:43But don't you dare stand there and tell me this was just business.
29:48I don't know how to do this.
29:49Neither do I.
29:51But I want to try.
29:53With you.
30:02That wasn't adequate.
30:04No.
30:05It really wasn't.
30:09A falsified marriage in exchange for a fininite sump.
30:12Your marriage is a fraud.
30:14You paid a waitress to pretend to be your wife.
30:20Vivian, is this true?
30:22It started as an arrangement.
30:24Yes.
30:24I won't deny that.
30:26How convenient.
30:27But it isn't one anymore.
30:29I'm not finished.
30:30That contract was signed weeks ago.
30:31Since then, my wife has stood beside me in front of my father,
30:34in front of this board, in front of the entire city.
30:36She held my hand in a hospital room while my father told me I was enough.
30:40She made me dinner when I forgot to eat.
30:41She made me sleep when I wouldn't stop working.
30:43She is not a transaction.
30:45You want to talk about fraud, Derek?
30:47Let's talk about how you obtained a private legal document.
30:50Let's talk about the investigator you hired to surveil my wife.
30:54Let's talk about how you've spent the last two months undermining me
30:57instead of doing your actual job.
30:59I love Luna Reyes.
31:01That is not a business decision.
31:02That is the truth.
31:03And if this board can't see the difference between where something starts and where it ends,
31:08then you don't deserve to lead anything.
31:10Vote however you want.
31:11I'm going home to my wife.
31:21I moved to table Mr. Lawson's motion.
31:35I saw the news, Luna.
31:39Everyone knows.
31:40The whole city knows.
31:42They published the contract.
31:45Derek leaked it to the press after the board meeting.
31:48What did you tell them?
31:50The board?
31:50The truth.
31:51The truth.
31:52Which version?
31:53The only version that matters.
31:55That it started as a deal.
31:57And that it became real.
31:59They're calling me a gold digger.
32:01A con artist.
32:02There are pictures of me outside Ember's Steakhouse from the day I got fired.
32:06Someone found my eviction notice.
32:08They're saying I targeted you.
32:09None of that is true.
32:10It doesn't matter if it's true.
32:11It's what people believe.
32:13Your reputation.
32:13I don't care about my reputation.
32:15You've cared about it your entire life.
32:17Maybe I should go.
32:18If I'm not in the picture, the scandal dies.
32:19You keep the company.
32:20Everything goes back to-
32:20Don't you dare lead me to-
32:21Vivian.
32:22I have spent my entire life watching people walk away because things got hard.
32:25My mother didn't have a choice, but you do.
32:26And I am asking you, begging you to stay.
32:30I'm scared.
32:33So am I.
32:35But I'd rather be scared with you than safe without you.
32:40I'm not going anywhere.
32:45Your cat has terrible timing.
32:47She gets it from me.
32:51I've never spoken to press before.
32:53What if I say something wrong?
32:54You won't.
32:56What if I throw up?
32:57Then we'll make headlines for a different reason.
33:00You don't have to do this.
33:01I can handle it alone.
33:03No.
33:03We do this together.
33:05That's the whole point.
33:06Thank you all.
33:08We were strangers who made a deal.
33:11But somewhere between the contract and now, I fell in love with her.
33:15Genuinely.
33:16Completely.
33:17In a way I didn't think I was capable of.
33:19Luna Reyes is not a gold digger.
33:21She is my wife.
33:22Not because of a contract, but because I choose her.
33:24Every single day.
33:26Your turn.
33:29I'm not a billionaire and a cat who eats shoelaces.
33:33I married Vivian Ashforth for money.
33:35But she is also kind.
33:36And she carries her mother's memory on every finger.
33:39You can call me whatever you want, but I love her.
33:41And that's not something anyone paid me to say.
33:45Luna, will you stay married?
33:46Ask me in 50 years.
33:55Vivian.
33:55I'm here, Dad.
33:57I saw the press conference.
33:59On the television.
34:00You should be resting.
34:02You were brave.
34:04Your mother would have been proud.
34:06I was wrong.
34:08About a lot of things.
34:09About you.
34:11About what makes someone worthy.
34:12Dad, don't.
34:13Let me finish.
34:14I spent my life measuring people by numbers.
34:18Dollars.
34:19Percentages.
34:20Quarterly reports.
34:22And I missed what was right in front of me.
34:25She's good, Vivian.
34:27Don't let her go.
34:29I won't.
34:30And the company?
34:31It's handled.
34:33The board voted this afternoon.
34:35Derek's motion was rejected unanimously.
34:38That's my girl.
34:42Tell Luna thank you for taking care of you.
34:52I'm here.
34:53I'm right here.
35:10Goodbye, Dad.
35:18No suit today.
35:20Board meeting's not until noon.
35:23Vivian Ashford in sweatpants before noon.
35:26The press would have a field day.
35:30Let them.
35:34How are you, really?
35:37Maybe some days are harder.
35:39But I'm okay.
35:41Because of you.
35:43I want to tell you something.
35:46Okay?
35:47I've been thinking about what comes next.
35:49For me.
35:51I don't want to just be the billionaire's wife.
35:53I want to do something.
35:55Build something.
35:56What did you have in mind?
35:57A restaurant.
35:58My own.
35:59Small.
36:00Family style.
36:01The kind of place where nobody gets fired for crescent-shaped ice.
36:05I think that's a brilliant idea.
36:07I don't want your money for it.
36:08I want to earn it.
36:09Loans.
36:10Savings.
36:10The right way.
36:11I wouldn't dare offer.
36:13Liar.
36:13You already have a check written, don't you?
36:18I love you.
36:19Even when you're impossible.
36:21Especially when I'm impossible.
36:25Cleopatra!
36:26You're grounded.
36:32Opening day gift.
36:34A plant.
36:35For the windowsill.
36:36Every good restaurant has plants on the windowsill.
36:39You did this.
36:40All of it.
36:40On your own.
36:42Not entirely on my own.
36:48Chef special.
36:50For my favorite customer.
36:51Favorite.
36:52I thought you said you'd rather serve anyone else in the world first.
36:54I told you.
36:55I'm not taking it back.
36:57And I told you.
36:59I'd make you regret it.
37:01Have you?
37:02Not yet.
37:04But I have time.
37:06How much time?
37:07Ask me in 50 years.
37:11The second law of thermodynamics says the universe tends toward disorder.
37:14Everything falls apart.
37:16Everything breaks down.
37:17But sometimes, just sometimes, two people find each other in the chaos.
37:20And they build something.
37:22Not perfect.
37:23Not easy.
37:24But real.
37:25And that's enough.
37:26What if.
37:28Back off camera.
37:29To the room.
37:49As we can tell you.
37:50You
