00:00Luna, yeah?
00:08I'm not good at this.
00:10At what?
00:11Feeling things.
00:13You're better at it than you think.
00:23Dad's waiting.
00:25He's always waiting.
00:26For me to fail.
00:29Oh, disappointed, but not surprised.
00:32I built a billion-dollar company from nothing.
00:35Named it after Mom.
00:37Still not enough.
00:39It's never enough.
00:41Today I convince him.
01:00Emble Steakhouse, and step on it.
01:06No, no, no, no!
01:09The one day, the own day, the owner does a check-in!
01:13Meow!
01:18If I get fired, we're both eating ramen for a month.
01:21Meow!
01:21Meow!
01:22Meow!
01:23Meow!
01:35You're late.
01:36I know.
01:37I'm so sorry.
01:39My alarm...
01:40Cleaning duty.
01:40No tables today.
01:42But that means no tips!
01:44Should have thought about that before showing up 40 minutes late on inspection day.
01:52Congratulations.
01:53You're not pregnant.
01:56What?
01:59God!
02:08You have got to be kidding me.
02:11Sorry, Luna.
02:11They told us at the beginning of the shift.
02:13Customer bathrooms only today.
02:15Plumber comes at noon.
02:16Need a tampon?
02:19Black cat.
02:20Broken mirror.
02:22Chain mail.
02:22Something cursed me.
02:23Something definitely cursed me.
02:31Hello?
02:34Yes?
02:36Do you, um, have a tampon?
02:40If you don't, there's a dispenser nearby.
02:43One second.
02:49Is everything okay?
02:50I got this.
02:51I swear.
02:53Just give me a second.
02:54I'm so sorry.
02:55Oh my god.
02:57Don't be sorry.
02:58This day couldn't possibly get any worse.
03:01My alarm didn't go off.
03:03I got my period early.
03:04This co-worker who hates me announced it to everyone.
03:08The employee bathrooms are broken.
03:10And our uniforms are white.
03:13Like, who dresses waiters in white?
03:16I'm not superstitious, but this bad luck is...
03:20Today's been pretty shitty for me, too.
03:22Don't apologize.
03:23I get it.
03:26Hold on.
03:30Sorry.
03:31You're going to have to open up.
03:32I can't slide it under.
03:40Thank you so much.
03:42And I'd appreciate your discretion.
03:44Of course.
03:45I understand.
03:47What's your name?
03:49Luna.
03:50Luna Reyes.
03:51And yours?
03:52Vivian Ashforth.
03:53Um, nice to meet you.
03:55Nice to meet you, too.
03:57What just happened?
04:02I can do it.
04:04You'll find someone to marry.
04:06You'll become religious.
04:07You will maintain a respectable public image.
04:10I'll be a born-again Christian if that's what it takes.
04:15You know what your timeline is, Vivian.
04:18Convince me before then, and the company will be yours.
04:22I promise, Dad.
04:23I'll be married by the end of the month.
04:27Derek Lawson has already presented his five-year plan to the board.
04:30Impressive numbers.
04:31Derek Lawson is a parasite who attached himself to our family name.
04:35He's practical, obedient, traditional.
04:39He's not your blood.
04:40Neither is stubbornness a qualification for CEO.
04:43Five months, Vivian.
04:44That's what the doctors gave me.
04:47If you haven't proven yourself by then, the board votes.
04:50And they will choose Derek.
04:52I won't let that happen.
04:53A wife.
04:54A church.
04:55A spotless reputation.
04:57That's the minimum.
04:59You'll have it.
05:03We'll see.
05:08A wife.
05:09Where the hell am I going to find a wife?
05:13Table 12.
05:14The Elizabeth booth.
05:15VIP.
05:16Not mess this up.
05:26The woman from the bathroom.
05:28Oh, God.
05:30Hello?
05:30Um, hi.
05:31I'm Luna.
05:32Luna Reyes.
05:33I'll be your waitress today.
05:34What are your drinks of preference?
05:35I am Richard Ashford.
05:36This is my daughter, Vivian.
05:38I would like a water.
05:39Two cubes of ice.
05:39She would like a Shirley Temple.
05:41No ice.
05:43Is that all?
05:47That's all.
06:04If I'm not convinced before the five months are up, Vivian.
06:08A wife and a wholesome reputation.
06:10I know.
06:11I'll do it.
06:18Wait.
06:19What did you hear?
06:22Nothing.
06:28You!
06:29I want you fired!
06:31Hi.
06:32Are you guys hiring?
06:40Does that say Luna Reyes?
06:43Yes.
06:44We're not hiring.
06:46But you just...
06:47We're not hiring.
06:48Please leave this fine establishment.
06:50Since when has Applebee's ever considered a fine establishment?
07:0124 rejections.
07:0224.
07:03He didn't just get me fired.
07:04He got me blacklisted.
07:05Every chain in the city knows my name.
07:07If I can't work, I can't pay rent.
07:09If I can't pay rent, I'd have to leave New York.
07:12This city is the only thing I have left.
07:14It was there when no one else was.
07:16There has to be another way.
07:20Corin Industries.
07:21Billion-dollar enterprise Ashfield Empire heir needs to marry to inherit?
07:25She needs a wife.
07:26I need money.
07:27This is either the smartest or the stupidest thing I've ever done.
07:30You're a very beautiful woman.
07:31What's your ethnicity?
07:32Wait, let me guess.
07:34Egyptian.
07:35Right.
07:36And I see no wedding ring.
07:38Are you single?
07:39Tell me more about Corin Industries.
07:41The CEO's office.
07:43Would that be on the top floor?
07:44Yes, the hundredth floor.
07:46But are you busy Friday evening?
07:48It's just with Aunt Eleanor gone and my period this week.
07:53Do you need to use the bathroom?
07:54Oh, I wouldn't want to waste our time.
07:56Please, down the hall next to the fire escape.
08:00She's settled.
08:02She needs a wife.
08:03I need money.
08:06I need money.
08:13Stay where you are.
08:14I can explain, I swear.
08:16Luna Reyes.
08:27Vivian.
08:29I know her.
08:34What are you?
08:35I wanted Tamir.
08:36Come here.
08:38Your security is really good.
08:40I was here for barely any time.
08:42Thermal detector.
08:43Your heat signature triggered the alarm.
08:45Lots of people want to kill you, I guess.
08:47Only a couple murder attempts a year.
08:49Tough life, being a billionaire.
08:51What are you doing here?
08:54Here.
08:58You want to get married?
09:00That was the entire point of the contract, yes.
09:02And you don't mind pretending to be in love?
09:04In front of my father, my family, everyone?
09:06Not if you don't.
09:07And when there's no more use for the marriage?
09:08No moral quills with divorce?
09:10I'm hardly religious, I don't mind.
09:12It's a good business deal.
09:13Do you have a pen?
09:14A pen?
09:15To sign?
09:15I didn't actually think that far.
09:19Should I prick my finger and write my name in blood?
09:25I'm going to remember something you said.
09:27What?
09:27I'd rather sleep with anyone else in the world first.
09:31I'm not taking it back.
09:34I don't want you to.
09:36I want you to regret it.
09:38We have a wedding to plan.
09:40Let me get this straight.
09:41A waitress who you met once broke into your building,
09:43climbed 30 flights of stairs,
09:44and proposed a fake marriage?
09:45And you said yes?
09:46It's a business arrangement.
09:47You have a list of vetted candidates.
09:48Models, celebrities, hedge fund daughters.
09:50I canceled the interviews.
09:51For a waitress.
09:52She had a thorough contract.
09:54Is she pretty?
09:56That's irrelevant.
09:58So, she's gorgeous.
10:02What do you actually know about her?
10:04She's resourceful, brave, stubborn.
10:08She treated me like a person, not a bank account.
10:11You like her?
10:12It's business.
10:14Viv, I've known you since we were 15.
10:16You've never talked about anyone like this.
10:18Or me dare.
10:23Luna.
10:27Are you okay?
10:28Fine.
10:29Are you okay?
10:29I'm sorry about earlier.
10:30I don't do well with surprises.
10:32If you want to end the contract,
10:33no, I still want to marry you.
10:35Professionally.
10:36I swear I won't throw a drink in your face next time.
10:38Good.
10:38I mean good for the macaroon to repay you.
10:42A thousand dollars for a pink macaroon?
10:44It's, I won't take your charity.
10:47Come on.
10:48We have an agreed amount.
10:49Fair is fair.
10:50This isn't an exchange.
10:51This is you feeling sorry for me.
10:53I don't feel sorry for you.
10:54I don't like owing people.
10:56You don't owe me anything for a macaroon.
10:59That's a second degree burn.
11:00I don't care.
11:01Take the check.
11:02No.
11:04No.
11:12We need to discuss living arrangements.
11:15I'm being evicted anyway, so fine.
11:18I'll send a car.
11:19Ikanta get the Suboe.
11:20With a cat and six boxes.
11:25Send the car.
11:38Don't get used to this.
11:40Your room is the second on the left.
11:42It has its own bathroom.
11:44If you want to change anything.
11:46My own room?
11:47Obviously.
11:49This is a business arrangement.
11:52Right, obviously.
11:56Cleopatra, no!
12:00She has good taste.
12:03She has terrible taste.
12:05She eats shoelaces.
12:08Hello, Cleopatra.
12:10She doesn't usually like strangers.
12:13I'm not a stranger.
12:15I'm her other mom now.
12:18Don't, don't, don't say it like that.
12:22Wedding planning starts tomorrow.
12:24Get some rest.
12:28Traitor.
12:29Bennett.
12:30Clear my afternoon.
12:32I have a personal errand.
12:34We need rings.
12:36Can't you just order them online?
12:39My father would notice a cheap ring from across the room.
12:41We're going to Tiffany's.
12:43Tiffany's!
12:45Everyone's looking at us.
12:48They're looking at you.
12:49What?
12:50No, they're definitely looking at the woman in a 3,000 suit.
12:5312,000.
12:54What?
12:55The suit was 12,000.
12:57I hate you.
13:02For the happy couple, congratulations.
13:05Something simple, elegant, not ostentatious.
13:11This one's nice.
13:14It suits you.
13:18That one is $42,000.
13:20Absolutely not!
13:21We'll take two.
13:22Vivian, it's part of the act.
13:23Let me do this.
13:25Fine.
13:26But I'm giving it back after.
13:27We'll see.
13:29We need a backstory.
13:31How we met.
13:32How long we've been dating.
13:33First date.
13:34All of it.
13:35Can't we just say we met at the restaurant?
13:37My father had you fired from that restaurant.
13:40He'd never believe I started dating the woman who dumped fondue on him.
13:42Fair point.
13:43So, where did we meet?
13:45The Firefleet Cafe.
13:46It's a queer cafe I've gone to since I was a teenager.
13:48Believable setting.
13:49Okay.
13:49And our first date?
13:50Central Park.
13:51Picnic.
13:52Sunset.
13:52I researched common first dates.
13:54You researched romance?
13:56I research everything.
13:58Okay.
13:59What about physical stuff?
14:01What about it?
14:02If we're married, people expect us to be comfortable with each other.
14:04Touching.
14:05Holding hands.
14:06Maybe kissing.
14:07We should practice.
14:09Practice holding hands so it looks natural.
14:16This is fine.
14:18Completely fine.
14:20What about the kiss?
14:22We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
14:24Good night, Luna.
14:27Good night.
14:31Do you, Vivian Ashfield, take Luna Reyes to be your lawfully wedded wife?
14:38I do.
14:39And do you, Luna Reyes, take Vivian Ashfield to be your lawfully wedded wife?
14:46I do.
14:48You may kiss the bride.
14:49You may kiss the bride.
15:00Beautiful.
15:01Absolutely beautiful.
15:02I didn't prepare for this.
15:05That was adequate.
15:08Yeah.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Adequate.
15:13Thank you for doing this.
15:15Thank you for letting me.
15:16Thank you for letting me.
15:17Thank you for letting me.
15:17Thank you for letting me.
15:23So, this is the woman.
15:25Dad, this is Luna, my wife.
15:29It's nice to meet you, Mr. Ashford.
15:31Sit.
15:34How did you two meet?
15:35The Firefly Cafe.
15:37Eight months ago.
15:38And what do you do, Luna?
15:40I'm between positions right now.
15:42I was a waitress.
15:43A waitress?
15:44Dad.
15:45I didn't say anything.
15:46Where did you waitress?
15:48A few places around the city.
15:50Most recently, a steakhouse.
15:52You look familiar.
15:54I get that a lot.
15:56Tell me about your family.
15:58My mother was Egyptian.
16:00She passed when I was young.
16:01I was raised by my aunt in New York.
16:03And your father?
16:04Never knew him.
16:06No family money.
16:07That's enough.
16:08I'm making conversation with my daughter-in-law.
16:09You understand my concern.
16:11Women have tried to marry into this family before, for obvious reasons.
16:14I married your daughter, Mr. Ashfield.
16:16Not your bank account.
16:22Congratulations on the wedding, Vivian.
16:25Quite sudden, wasn't it?
16:28When you know, you know.
16:29Of course.
16:30And your wife, Luna, is it?
16:32Charming girl.
16:32Waitress background, I hear.
16:34Is there a point to this, Derek?
16:35Just making conversation.
16:36The board has questions, naturally, about stability.
16:38About image.
16:39Your father's health is declining, and the shareholders want assurance that whoever takes the helm is settled.
16:44I'm married.
16:45I'd say that's settled.
16:46Married for three weeks to a woman nobody's heard of.
16:50Forgive me if the board needs more convincing.
16:53My proposal.
16:53A 10-year growth strategy, vetted by three independent firms.
16:58I'll review it.
17:00Take your time.
17:02We have, what did the doctor say?
17:03Five months?
17:08He makes a strong case, Vivian.
17:14Meeting adjourned.
17:42You cooked.
17:43Don't sound so shocked.
17:45I worked in restaurants for eight years.
17:50You didn't have to.
17:52You look stressed in your text, even through a four-letter word somehow.
17:56Is it bad?
17:57This is the best thing I've ever eaten.
17:59You're being dramatic.
18:00I'm not.
18:01I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants on four continents.
18:03This is better.
18:04How was the meeting, really?
18:05Derek Lawens is positioning himself.
18:07The board is listening.
18:08My father is dying.
18:09And the vultures are circling.
18:11What do you need?
18:12I need the board to see me as stable, trustfully, someone with roots.
18:17So we need to be more visible as a couple.
18:20A charity gala is coming up.
18:22Three weeks from now, every major player in New York will be there.
18:25You want me to go?
18:26I need you to go.
18:27And I need everyone there to believe we're in love.
18:34Then we'll make them believe it.
18:35Thank you, Luna.
18:37That's what VIVs are for, professionally speaking.
18:47You look adequate.
18:51No, not adequate.
18:55May I?
19:11Vivian, introduce us to your wife.
19:15This is Luna, the love of my life.
19:18She's being modest.
19:19I'm actually the love of her life and the reason she eats vegetables now.
19:33Is this close enough?
19:35Almost.
19:41Find out everything about Luna, Reyes.
19:44Everything.
19:46Everything.
19:51I think that went well.
19:53You were perfect.
19:54You sound surprised.
19:56I'm not.
19:56I just, you made it easy to pretend.
20:01That's the job, right?
20:04Right.
20:09Vivian, yes.
20:11At the gala when we were dancing.
20:14Was any of that real?
20:20I guess not.
20:23Does it matter?
20:25This is a business arrangement.
20:27That's all.
20:28I'm not catching feelings for a billionaire.
20:31That would be insane.
20:33Don't judge me.
20:39I'm so screwed.
20:41Luna Reyes, 26, Egyptian American.
20:44Mother deceased.
20:45No father on record raised by an aunt who also passed.
20:48No criminal record.
20:49No college degree.
20:50Worked minimum wage jobs for the last eight years.
20:53And before Vivian, she was a waitress at Ember's Steakhouse.
20:56Fired after an incident involving Richard Ashford and fondue.
21:02The fondue girl.
21:04She's the fondue girl.
21:05Richard Ashford personally had her blacklisted from every major restaurant chain in New York.
21:09So the woman Richard Ashford despises is now his daughter-in-law.
21:13This is too good.
21:14What else?
21:15No evidence of a relationship between her and Vivian prior to four weeks ago.
21:18No social media history together.
21:20No mutual friends.
21:21Nothing.
21:21Because there was no relationship.
21:23This marriage is fake.
21:27I just need proof.
21:29Something concrete enough for the board and for Richard.
21:33There's one more thing.
21:35Luna Reyes was evicted from her apartment the same week she married Vivian Ashford.
21:39Evicted.
21:40And then suddenly married to a billionaire.
21:43Find me the contract.
21:44There has to be one.
21:44No one marries a stranger without paperwork.
21:49Richard, it's Derek.
21:51I think we should talk about your daughter-in-law.
22:00What's wrong?
22:01My father wants to see us.
22:03Both of us.
22:04Today.
22:05That doesn't sound...
22:06Derek called him.
22:09What does Derek know?
22:12I don't know yet.
22:14But if he's gone to my father, it's not good.
22:21Sit down.
22:25Derek has brought something to my attention.
22:27He claims your marriage is a fabrication.
22:30That's absurd.
22:31Is it?
22:32You've known each other for less than two months.
22:34There's no dating history.
22:36No social media.
22:37No mutual connections.
22:39And your wife was evicted from her apartment the same week you married.
22:43I moved in with my wife.
22:45That's what married people do.
22:47Or what people do when they're paid to pretend.
22:51Luna, look at me.
22:53Do you love my daughter?
23:00Do you love her?
23:00Yes.
23:01I love her.
23:03Leave us.
23:04Richard, I said leave.
23:08I'm watching.
23:10Both of you.
23:11Don't make me regret this.
23:13You were incredible.
23:20I wasn't acting.
23:25When's the last time you slept?
23:27Define slept.
23:29More than three hours?
23:35I wasn't finished.
23:37You're finished for tonight.
23:39Luna, Vivian.
23:40I can't afford to stop.
23:42Derek is...
23:42Derek can wait until morning.
23:44You can't run a company if you collapse.
23:48Lean back.
23:49I don't...
23:50Lean back.
23:53Tell me something.
23:54Not about work.
23:56Something real.
23:59My mother named her company after herself.
24:02Corrine.
24:02She died when I was seven.
24:04Brain tumor.
24:05I remember her hands.
24:07She wore rings.
24:08Silver.
24:09Like mine.
24:10I started wearing them because as I was afraid I'd forget what she looked like.
24:13You won't forget.
24:14How do you know?
24:16Because you love her too much.
24:18That kind of love doesn't let you forget.
24:23Luna.
24:24Yeah?
24:31I'm not good at this.
24:33At what?
24:34Feeling things.
24:37You're better at it than you think.
24:46Coffee's on the counter.
24:50You let me fall asleep.
24:51You needed it.
24:56About last...
24:57You don't have to explain anything.
24:59I want to.
25:04I've never told anyone about my mother's rings.
25:07Not even Marco.
25:10Why did you tell me?
25:13I don't know.
25:16That's not true.
25:17I do know.
25:17I just don't know how to say it.
25:22Then don't say it.
25:24If I kiss you right now, it won't be for the cameras.
25:28I know.
25:35What?
25:36Your father's been hospitalized.
25:38You need to come now.
25:40I'm on my way.
25:42Go.
25:43I'll be right behind you.
25:49The cancer is progressing faster than we anticipated.
25:52We're looking at weeks now, not months.
25:57Thank you, doctor.
26:13Vivian.
26:15I'm here, dad.
26:17Come closer.
26:23You too.
26:29She looks at you
26:31the way your mother looked at me.
26:36Take care of her.
26:39She won't let anyone else.
26:41I will.
26:43The company is yours.
26:45I've already told the board.
26:47Dad...
26:48I should have said it years ago.
26:50You were always enough, Vivian.
26:54I was too proud to admit it.
27:08He's dying.
27:10I know.
27:12I spent my whole life trying to prove myself to him,
27:15and now...
27:22We need to talk about the contract.
27:24What about it?
27:26My father gave me the company.
27:29The original reason for our arrangement is fulfilled.
27:34So you're saying we're done?
27:36I'm saying the contract no longer applies.
27:39You've fulfilled your end.
27:40The money is yours.
27:42You're free to leave whenever you want.
27:46Is that what you want?
27:48For me to leave?
27:50What I want is irrelevant.
27:52This was a business deal.
27:53Stop calling it that.
27:55It is that.
27:55That's what we agreed.
27:56I know what we agreed.
27:58But things changed, Vivian.
28:01You know they did.
28:02The dancing.
28:03The couch.
28:05Last night at the hospital.
28:08This morning.
28:09When you almost kissed me.
28:13Was all of that business.
28:17Luna.
28:17Answer me.
28:18I can't give you what you want.
28:20What do you think I want?
28:21Someone who knows how to love.
28:23I don't...
28:23I've never...
28:25I sleep with women and send them away in the morning.
28:28That's all I know how to do.
28:30That's not all you know.
28:31You held my hand in front of your father.
28:33You told me about your mother's rings.
28:36You burned your hand on a stove.
28:39Because you were looking at me.
28:41You're terrified.
28:42I get it.
28:44But don't you dare stand there and tell me this was just business.
28:48I don't know how to do this.
28:50Neither do I.
28:52But I want to try.
28:54With you.
29:01No.
29:03That wasn't adequate.
29:05No.
29:06It really wasn't.
29:07A falsified marriage in exchange for a Finanite sum.
29:10Your marriage is a fraud.
29:12You paid a waitress to pretend to be your wife.
29:18Vivian, is this true?
29:20It started as an arrangement.
29:22Yes.
29:23I won't deny that.
29:24How convenient.
29:25But it isn't one anymore.
29:27I'm not finished.
29:28That contract was signed weeks ago.
29:30Since then, my wife has stood beside me.
29:32In front of my father.
29:33In front of this board.
29:33In front of the entire city.
29:35She held my hand in a hospital room while my father told me I was enough.
29:38She made me dinner when I forgot to eat.
29:40She made me sleep when I wouldn't stop working.
29:42She is not a transaction.
29:43You want to talk about fraud, Derek?
29:45Let's talk about how you obtained a private legal document.
29:48Let's talk about the investigator you hired to surveil my wife.
29:52Let's talk about how you've spent the last two months undermining me instead of doing your actual job.
29:57I love Luna Reyes.
29:59That is not a business decision.
30:00That is the truth.
30:01And if this board can't see the difference between where something starts and where it ends, then you don't deserve
30:07to lead anything.
30:08Vote however you want.
30:10I'm going home to my wife.
30:19I moved to table Mr. Lawson's motion.
30:23Second.
30:31I saw the news.
30:33Luna.
30:34Everyone knows.
30:36The whole city knows.
30:38They published the contract.
30:41Derek leaked it to the press after the board meeting.
30:44What did you tell them?
30:46The board?
30:47The truth.
30:48Which version?
30:50The only version that matters.
30:51That it started as a deal.
30:54And that it became real.
30:55They're calling me a gold digger.
30:57A con artist.
30:58There are pictures of me outside Ember's Steakhouse from the day I got fired.
31:02Someone found my eviction notice.
31:04They're saying I targeted you.
31:05None of that is true.
31:06It doesn't matter if it's true.
31:08It's what people believe.
31:09Your reputation.
31:10I don't care about my reputation.
31:11You've cared about it your entire life.
31:13Maybe I should go.
31:14If I'm not in the picture, the scandal dies.
31:15You keep the company.
31:16Everything goes back to-
31:17Don't you dare lead me to protect you.
31:18Vivian.
31:18I have spent my entire life watching people walk away because things got hard.
31:21My mother didn't have a choice, but you do.
31:23And I am asking you, begging you, to stay.
31:26I'm scared.
31:29So am I.
31:31But I'd rather be scared with you than safe without you.
31:37I'm not going anywhere.
31:40Meow.
31:41Your cat has terrible timing.
31:43She gets it from me.
31:46I've never spoken to Cuss before.
31:48What if I say something wrong?
31:49You won't.
31:51What if I throw up?
31:52Then we'll make headlines for a different reason.
31:55You don't have to do this.
31:56I can handle it alone.
31:58No.
31:58We do this together.
32:00That's the whole point.
32:02Thank you all.
32:03We were strangers who made a deal.
32:06But somewhere between the contract and now, I fell in love with her.
32:10Genuinely.
32:11Completely.
32:12In a way I didn't think I was capable of.
32:14Luna Reyes is not a gold digger.
32:16She is my wife.
32:17Not because of a contract, but because I choose her.
32:19Every single day.
32:21Your turn.
32:24I'm not a billionaire and a cat who eats shoelaces.
32:28I married Vivian Ashforth for money, but she is also kind, and she carries her mother's
32:33memory on every finger.
32:34You can call me whatever you want, but I love her, and that's not something anyone paid me
32:38to say.
32:40Luna, will you stay married?
32:41Ask me in 50 years.
32:47Vivian.
32:48I'm here, Dad.
32:49I saw the press conference on the television.
32:52You should be resting.
32:54You were brave.
32:56Your mother would have been proud.
32:58I was wrong.
33:00About a lot of things.
33:02About you.
33:03About what makes someone worthy.
33:05Dad, don't.
33:06Let me finish.
33:07I spent my life measuring people by numbers.
33:10Dollars.
33:11Percentages.
33:13Quarterly reports.
33:14And I missed what was right in front of me.
33:17She's good, Vivian.
33:19Don't let her go.
33:21I won't.
33:22And the company?
33:24It's handled.
33:25The board voted this afternoon.
33:27Derek's motion was rejected unanimously.
33:31That's my girl.
33:34Tell Luna thank you for taking care of you.
33:44I'm here.
33:45I'm right here.
34:01Goodbye, Dad.
34:08No suit today.
34:10Board meetings not until noon.
34:13Vivian Ashford in sweatpants before noon.
34:16The press would have a field day.
34:21Let them.
34:25How are you, really?
34:28Some days are harder.
34:29But I'm okay.
34:32Because of you.
34:34I want to tell you something.
34:36Okay?
34:38I've been thinking about what comes next.
34:40For me.
34:41I don't want to just be the billionaire's wife.
34:44I want to do something.
34:45Build something.
34:47What did you have in mind?
34:48A restaurant.
34:49My own.
34:50Small.
34:51Family style.
34:51The kind of place where nobody gets fired for crescent-shaped ice.
34:56I think that's a brilliant idea.
34:57I don't want your money for it.
34:59I want to earn it.
35:00Loans.
35:00Savings.
35:01The right way.
35:02I wouldn't dare offer.
35:03Liar.
35:04You already have a check written, don't you?
35:08I love you.
35:10Even when you're impossible.
35:12Especially when I'm impossible.
35:15Cleopatra!
35:17You're grounded.
35:22Opening day gift.
35:24A plant.
35:25For the windowsill.
35:27Every good restaurant has plants on the windowsill.
35:29You did this.
35:30All of it.
35:31On your own.
35:32Not entirely on my own.
35:38Chef special.
35:40For my favorite customer.
35:42Favorite.
35:42I thought you said you'd rather serve anyone else in the world first.
35:45I told you.
35:45I'm not taking it back.
35:47And I told you.
35:49I'd make you regret it.
35:52Have you?
35:53Not yet.
35:54But I have time.
35:56How much time?
35:58Ask me in 50 years.
36:01The second law of thermodynamics says the universe tends toward disorder.
36:05Everything falls apart.
36:06Everything breaks down.
36:07But sometimes, just sometimes, two people find each other in the chaos.
36:11And they build something.
36:12Not perfect.
36:13Not easy.
36:14But real.
36:15And that's enough.
36:16That's enough.
36:17I think it's a good one.
