📢Notice: ReelShort-Uncut is an officially authorized publisher of ReelShort content.
episode guide for No More Mrs. Nice Wife, first ten, and the structure is doing something clever with time.
There's a version of this woman from before, given to you in six fragments — a table set for two, a coat on a hook, an argument heard from another room.
Never a complete scene. Never a caption.
By episode five you know about ten years without watching them, which means the episodes you get are spent on what matters: what she does next, and how fast.
Better use of a short format than any flashback episode.
✨ What worked for me:
- The fragments never repeat a shot. Each one is new information.
- No character narrates the past. It's assembled entirely by the viewer.
✨ Bottom line: you don't need to show suffering to make an audience understand it happened.
Did you piece the timeline together before episode five?

微电影文字稿
00:00:05That kind of softness. I had barely heard it in more than 10 years of marriage.
00:00:10I'm taking Jessica to meet her parents today. Think it over. Give me an answer later.
00:00:15The door slammed. I didn't chase him the way I had in my last life. I didn't scream questions at
00:00:20him.
00:00:20I just looked down at my rough, cracked hands. Last time, this was where I ran after him and slapped
00:00:26him across the face.
00:00:27That slap went public. Michael got disciplined, called in by his bosses, and knocked out of the primary.
00:00:33He still wanted Jessica. Even with his career wrecked, he never looked back at me.
00:00:38This life, I will not spend my life as the doormat under their love story.
00:00:47In the mirror was a tired, slack, middle-aged face. I opened the cabinet. It was all theirs. His and
00:00:54Brian's.
00:00:54Mine was one cheap jar of cream, already dried hard. I dug some onto my hands, picked up my phone,
00:01:00and ordered a full Le Maire set.
00:01:02Then I called a lawyer.
00:01:06Mr. Thompson, I want to talk about a divorce.
00:01:14I died at 48, late-stage ovarian cancer.
00:01:16The day of the funeral, before they even put the coffin in the ground, my husband Michael brought that club
00:01:21hostess Jessica home.
00:01:22I floated above them and watched him, in the black suit I had pressed for 10 years, holding another woman's
00:01:27hand.
00:01:27Michael, I thought I'd wait my whole life and never get you.
00:01:3410 years of pay is on this card.
00:01:36I never spent a dollar on that old woman.
00:01:40From now on, the three of us can finally live like a family.
00:01:46The ugly freak is finally dead.
00:01:49See? Only someone as pretty as Jessica deserves to be my mom.
00:01:55That was when I knew.
00:01:56The marriage I fought 10 years to keep, the son I raised, every dollar I scraped together, it had all
00:02:02been a joke.
00:02:03In my last life, Michael was 40 when he fell for 27-year-old Jessica.
00:02:08He would rather torch his political future than stay married to me.
00:02:12The family told me to swallow it.
00:02:14For the kid.
00:02:15I looked at little Brian and clenched my teeth.
00:02:19I would not sign.
00:02:21Jessica saw she wasn't getting the seat and walked into someone else's arms.
00:02:25Michael hated me for it.
00:02:2710 years of no household money.
00:02:2910 years of that cold face.
00:02:30I worked myself raw to give the kid a better life and got sick doing it.
00:02:35And when I died, they finally got their happy ending.
00:02:39I laughed.
00:02:40Two lines of tears ran down my face.
00:02:42When I opened my eyes, I was back on the day Michael asking for a divorce.
00:02:49This is on me.
00:02:51You agree to the divorce?
00:02:53I walk away with nothing.
00:02:54Deal?
00:02:55I froze and looked at the slightly younger face in front of me.
00:02:59The TV in the living room was rerunning the Thanksgiving parade.
00:03:01The cheerful music made my chest go cold.
00:03:04There was still flour on my hands.
00:03:06Brian had been screaming for cookies that morning.
00:03:08I was up at 5 to make the dough.
00:03:10And my husband was standing in front of me.
00:03:12In a hurry to go meet another woman's parents.
00:03:16Okay.
00:03:16Yeah.
00:03:17Wait for me.
00:03:18I'm coming.
00:03:19That kind of softness.
00:03:20I had barely heard it in more than 10 years of marriage.
00:03:24I'm taking Jessica to meet her parents today.
00:03:26Think it over.
00:03:27Give me an answer later.
00:03:28The door slammed.

00:04:20Mr. Thompson, I want to talk about a divorce.
00:04:27After I hung up, I drove to my parents' house.
00:04:30The door opened on warm yellow light and the smell of roast turkey.
00:04:34They live cheap.
00:04:35They only cooked like this when we came home.
00:04:37Where's Michael?
00:04:38He's not with you?
00:04:41Something came up.
00:04:43I'll tell you inside.
00:04:44The TV in the living room was blasting.
00:04:47The game screen flashed hard enough to hurt.
00:04:49Brian was sunk in the couch, snack bags at his feet.
00:04:53He heard my voice and didn't even lift his eyes.
00:04:55Grandma, are my blueberries peeled yet?
00:04:58Hold on, sweetheart.
00:04:59These take work.
00:05:00Mom had a box of blueberries and was struggling to rinse them.
00:05:03Her arthritis still wasn't right.
00:05:04Her fingers didn't move well.
00:05:06Useless!
00:05:07The word was quiet.
00:05:08It still went through my ear like a needle.
00:05:16What did you just say?
00:05:18Brian froze, then opened his mouth and started to cry.
00:05:23It's Thanksgiving.
00:05:24What are you doing?
00:05:25Talk it out!
00:05:27Brian had his back up now.
00:05:28He wiped his face, glared at me, and ran to his room.
00:05:32The living room was left with the game over sound.
00:05:35I looked at mom's red fingers and thought of my last life.
00:05:39I thought swallowing it for the kid was how you kept a family.
00:05:43Turns out the first person in this house who learned to treat me like nothing was my son.
00:05:57I died at 48, late stage ovarian cancer.
00:06:00The day of the funeral, before they even put the coffin in the ground, my husband Michael brought that club
00:06:05hostess Jessica home.
00:06:06I floated above them and watched him in the black suit I had pressed for 10 years holding another woman's
00:06:11hand.
00:06:11Michael, I thought I'd wait my whole life and never get you.
00:06:17Ten years of pay is on this card.
00:06:20I never spent a dollar on that old woman.
00:06:24From now on, the three of us can finally live like a family.
00:06:29The ugly freak is finally dead.

00:15:29in the ground,
00:15:30my husband Michael
00:15:31brought that club hostess Jessica home.
00:15:33I floated above them
00:15:34and watched him
00:15:34in the black suit
00:15:36I had pressed for 10 years
00:15:37holding another woman's hand.
00:15:38Michael,

00:15:40and never get you.
00:15:4410 years of pay
00:15:45is on this card.
00:15:47I never spent a dollar

00:15:51From now on,
00:15:52the three of us
00:15:53can finally live
00:15:54like a family.
00:15:56The ugly freak
00:15:57is finally dead.
00:16:00See?
00:16:01Only someone as pretty
00:16:02as Jessica
00:16:02deserves to be my mom.
00:16:06That was when I knew.
00:16:07The marriage I fought
00:16:0810 years to keep,
00:16:09the son I raised,
00:16:11every dollar I scraped together,
00:16:12it had all been a joke.
00:16:14In my last life,
00:16:15Michael was 40
00:16:16when he fell
00:16:17for 27-year-old Jessica.
00:16:18He would rather torch
00:16:19his political future
00:16:20than stay married to me.
00:16:23The family told me
00:16:24to swallow it
00:16:25for the kid.
00:16:26I looked at little Brian
00:16:27and clenched my teeth.
00:16:30I would not sign.
00:16:32Jessica saw she wasn't
00:16:33getting the seat
00:16:33and walked into
00:16:34someone else's arms.
00:16:36Michael hated me for it.
00:16:3710 years of no household money.
00:16:3910 years of that cold face.
00:16:41I worked myself raw
00:16:42to give the kid
00:16:43a better life
00:16:44and got sick doing it.
00:16:46And when I died,
00:16:47they finally got
00:16:48their happy ending.
00:16:49I laughed.
00:16:51Two lines of tears
00:16:51ran down my face.
00:16:53When I opened my eyes,
00:16:54I was back on the day
00:16:55Michael asked me
00:16:56for a divorce.
00:17:00This is on me.
00:17:02You agree to the divorce?
00:17:03I walk away with nothing.
00:17:05Deal?
00:17:06I froze
00:17:06and looked at the
00:17:07slightly younger face
00:17:08in front of me.
00:17:09The TV in the living room
00:17:10was rerunning
00:17:11the Thanksgiving parade.
00:17:12The cheerful music
00:17:13made my chest go cold.
00:17:15There was still flour
00:17:15on my hands.
00:17:16Brian had been screaming
00:17:17for cookies that morning.
00:17:18I was up at five
00:17:19to make the dough
00:17:20and my husband
00:17:21was standing in front of me
00:17:22in a hurry
00:17:23to go meet
00:17:23another woman's parents.
00:17:26Okay.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28Wait for me.
00:17:28I'm coming.
00:17:29That kind of softness.
00:17:30I had barely heard it
00:17:32in more than
00:17:32ten years of marriage.
00:17:34I'm taking Jessica
00:17:35to meet her parents today.
00:17:37Think it over.
00:17:38Give me an answer later.
00:17:39The door slammed.
00:17:40I didn't chase him
00:17:41the way I had
00:17:42in my last life.
00:17:43I didn't scream
00:17:43questions at him.
00:17:45I just looked down
00:17:45at my rough,
00:17:46cracked hands.
00:17:47Last time,
00:17:48this was where
00:17:49I ran after him
00:17:50and slapped him
00:17:51across the face.
00:17:52That slap went public.
00:17:53Michael got disciplined,
00:17:55called in by his bosses,
00:17:56and knocked out
00:17:57of the primary.
00:17:58He still wanted Jessica.
00:17:59Even with his career wrecked,
00:18:01he never looked back at me.
00:18:02This life,
00:18:03I will not spend my life
00:18:04as the doormat
00:18:05under their love story.
00:18:11In the mirror
00:18:12was a tired,
00:18:13slack,
00:18:14middle-aged face.
00:18:15I opened the cabinet.
00:18:16It was all theirs,
00:18:17his and Brian's.
00:18:19Mine was one cheap jar
00:18:20of cream,
00:18:20already dried hard.
00:18:22I dug some onto my hands,
00:18:23picked up my phone,
00:18:24and ordered
00:18:25a full La Mer set.
00:18:27Then I called a lawyer.
00:18:30Mr. Thompson,
00:18:32I want to talk about
00:18:34a divorce.
00:18:38After I hung up,
00:18:39I drove to my parents' house.
00:18:41The door opened
00:18:41on warm yellow light
00:18:43and the smell
00:18:43of roast turkey.
00:18:44They live cheap.
00:18:46They only cooked like this
00:18:47when we came home.
00:18:48Where's Michael?
00:18:49He's not with you?
00:18:52Something came up.
00:18:53I'll tell you inside.
00:18:55The TV in the living room
00:18:56was blasting.
00:18:57The game screen flashed
00:18:58hard enough to hurt.
00:19:00Brian was sunk in the couch,
00:19:01snack bags at his feet.
00:19:03He heard my voice
00:19:04and didn't even lift his eyes.
00:19:06Grandma,
00:19:07are my blueberries peeled yet?
00:19:08Hold on, sweetheart.
00:19:09These take work.
00:19:10Mom had a box of blueberries
00:19:12and was struggling
00:19:12to rinse them.
00:19:13Her arthritis still wasn't right.
00:19:15Her fingers didn't move well.
00:19:17Useless!
00:19:17The word was quiet.
00:19:19It still went through my ear
00:19:21like a needle.
00:19:26What did you just say?
00:19:28Brian froze,
00:19:30then opened his mouth
00:19:31and started to cry.
00:19:34It's Thanksgiving.
00:19:35What are you doing?
00:19:36Talk it out!
00:19:37Brian had his back up now.
00:19:39He wiped his face,
00:19:40glared at me,
00:19:41and ran to his room.
00:19:43The living room was left
00:19:44with the game over sound.
00:19:45I looked at mom's red fingers
00:19:47and thought of my last life.
00:19:50I thought swallowing it for the kid
00:19:51was how you kept a family.
00:19:54Turns out the first person
00:19:55in this house
00:19:56who learned to treat me
00:19:57like nothing was my son.
00:20:08I died at 48,
00:20:09late-stage ovarian cancer.
00:20:10The day of the funeral,
00:20:12before they even put the coffin
00:20:13in the ground,
00:20:14my husband Michael
00:20:14brought that club hostess Jessica home.
00:20:16I floated above them
00:20:17and watched him
00:20:18in the black suit
00:20:19I had pressed for 10 years
00:20:20holding another woman's hand.
00:20:22Michael,
00:20:22I thought I'd wait my whole life
00:20:24and never get you.
00:20:2810 years of pay
00:20:29is on this card.
00:20:31I never spent a dollar
00:20:32on that old woman.
00:20:35From now on,
00:20:35the three of us
00:20:36can finally live like a family.
00:20:40The ugly freak
00:20:41is finally dead.

00:27:51and ordered
00:27:52a full Le Maire set.
00:27:54Then I called a lawyer.
00:27:57Mr. Thompson,
00:27:59I want to talk about
00:28:01a divorce.
00:28:05After I hung up,
00:28:06I drove to my parents' house.
00:28:08The door opened
00:28:09on warm yellow light
00:28:10and the smell
00:28:10of roast turkey.
00:28:11They live cheap.
00:28:13They only cooked like this
00:28:14when we came home.
00:28:15Where's Michael?
00:28:16He's not with you?
00:28:19Something came up.
00:28:20I'll tell you inside.
00:28:22The TV in the living room
00:28:23was blasting.
00:28:24The game screen
00:28:25flashed hard enough
00:28:26to hurt.
00:28:27Brian was sunk
00:28:28in the couch,
00:28:28snack bags at his feet.
00:28:30He heard my voice
00:28:31and didn't even lift his eyes.
00:28:33Grandma,
00:28:34are my blueberries
00:28:34peeled yet?
00:28:35Hold on, sweetheart.
00:28:36These take work.
00:28:37Mom had a box of blueberries
00:28:39and was struggling
00:28:39to rinse them.
00:28:40Her arthritis
00:28:41still wasn't right.
00:28:42Her fingers
00:28:43didn't move well.
00:28:44Useless!
00:28:44The word was quiet.
00:28:46It still went through my ear
00:28:48like a needle.
00:28:54What did you just say?
00:28:55Brian froze,
00:28:57then opened his mouth
00:28:58and started to cry.
00:29:01It's Thanksgiving.
00:29:02What are you doing?
00:29:03Talk it out!
00:29:05Brian had his back up now.
00:29:06He wiped his face,
00:29:08glared at me,
00:29:08and ran to his room.
00:29:10The living room was left
00:29:11with the game-over sound.
00:29:12I looked at mom's red fingers
00:29:14and thought of my last life.
00:29:17I thought swallowing it
00:29:18for the kid
00:29:18was how you kept a family.
00:29:21Turns out,
00:29:21the first person in this house
00:29:23who learned to treat me
00:29:24like nothing was my son.
00:29:35I died at 48,
00:29:36late-stage ovarian cancer.
00:29:38The day of the funeral,
00:29:39before they even put
00:29:40the coffin in the ground,
00:29:41my husband Michael
00:29:41brought that club hostess
00:29:43Jessica home.
00:29:43I floated above them
00:29:44and watched him
00:29:45in the black suit
00:29:46I had pressed for 10 years
00:29:47holding another woman's hand.
00:29:49Michael,
00:29:49I thought I'd wait
00:29:50my whole life
00:29:51and never get you.
00:29:5510 years of pay
00:29:56is on this card.
00:29:58I never spent a dollar
00:29:59on that old woman.
00:30:02From now on,
00:30:02the three of us
00:30:03can finally live
00:30:04like a family.
00:30:07The ugly freak
00:30:08is finally dead.
00:30:11See?
00:30:11Only someone as pretty
00:30:12as Jessica
00:30:13deserves to be my mom.
00:30:16That was when I knew.
00:30:18The marriage I fought
00:30:1910 years to keep,
00:30:20the son I raised,
00:30:21every dollar
00:30:22I scraped together,
00:30:23it had all been a joke.
00:30:25In my last life,
00:30:26Michael was 40
00:30:27when he fell
00:30:27for 27-year-old Jessica.
00:30:29He would rather
00:30:29torch his political future
00:30:31than stay married to me.
00:30:33The family told me
00:30:35to swallow it
00:30:35for the kid.
00:30:36I looked at little Brian
00:30:37and clenched my teeth.
00:30:40I would not sign.
00:30:42Jessica saw
00:30:43she wasn't getting the seat
00:30:44and walked into
00:30:45someone else's arms.
00:30:46Michael hated me for it.
00:30:4810 years of no household money,
00:30:4910 years of that cold face.
00:30:52I worked myself raw
00:30:53to give the kid
00:30:54a better life
00:30:55and got sick doing it.
00:30:56And when I died,
00:30:58they finally got
00:30:59their happy ending.
00:31:00I laughed.
00:31:01Two lines of tears
00:31:02ran down my face.
00:31:03When I opened my eyes,
00:31:05I was back on the day
00:31:06Michael asked me
00:31:07for a divorce.
00:31:11This is on me.
00:31:12You agree to the divorce?
00:31:14I walk away with nothing.
00:31:15Deal?
00:31:16I froze
00:31:17and looked at the
00:31:18slightly younger face
00:31:19in front of me.
00:31:20The TV in the living room
00:31:21was rerunning
00:31:21the Thanksgiving parade.
00:31:23The cheerful music
00:31:23made my chest go cold.
00:31:25There was still flour
00:31:26on my hands.
00:31:27Brian had been screaming
00:31:28for cookies that morning.
00:31:29I was up at five
00:31:30to make the dough
00:31:31and my husband
00:31:32was standing in front of me
00:31:33in a hurry
00:31:33to go meet
00:31:34another woman's parents.
00:31:37Okay.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:38Wait for me.
00:31:39I'm coming.
00:31:40That kind of softness.
00:31:41I had barely heard it
00:31:42in more than
00:31:43ten years of marriage.
00:31:45I'm taking Jessica
00:31:46to meet her parents today.
00:31:47Think it over.
00:31:48Give me an answer later.
00:31:50The door slammed.
00:31:51I didn't chase him
00:31:52the way I had
00:31:53in my last life.
00:31:53I didn't scream
00:31:54questions at him.
00:31:55I just looked down
00:31:56at my rough,
00:31:57cracked hands.
00:31:58Last time,
00:31:59this was where
00:31:59I ran after him
00:32:00and slapped him
00:32:01across the face.
00:32:02That slap went public.
00:32:04Michael got disciplined,
00:32:05called in by his bosses,
00:32:07and knocked out
00:32:07of the primary.
00:32:08He still wanted Jessica.
00:32:10Even with his career wrecked,
00:32:11he never looked back at me.
00:32:13This life,
00:32:13I will not spend my life
00:32:15as the doormat
00:32:16under their love story.
00:32:22In the mirror
00:32:23was a tired,
00:32:24slack,
00:32:24middle-aged face.
00:32:25I opened the cabinet.
00:32:27It was all theirs,
00:32:28his and Brian's.
00:32:29Mine was one cheap
00:32:30jar of cream,
00:32:31already dried hard.
00:32:32I dug some onto my hands,
00:32:34picked up my phone,
00:32:35and ordered
00:32:35a full Le Maire set.
00:32:37Then I called a lawyer.

00:33:48Brian had his backup now.
00:33:50He wiped his face,
00:33:51glared at me,
00:33:52and ran to his room.
00:33:53The living room was left

00:39:39as Jessica
00:39:40deserves to be my mom.
00:39:43That was when I knew.
00:39:45The marriage I fought
00:39:4610 years to keep,
00:39:47the son I raised,
00:39:49every dollar
00:39:49I scraped together,
00:39:50it had all been a joke.
00:39:52In my last life,
00:39:53Michael was 40
00:39:54when he fell
00:39:54for 27-year-old Jessica.
00:39:56He would rather torch
00:39:57his political future
00:39:58than stay married to me.
00:40:00The family told me
00:40:02to swallow it
00:40:02for the kid.
00:40:04I looked at little Brian
00:40:04and clenched my teeth.
00:40:07I would not sign.
00:40:09Jessica saw she wasn't
00:40:11getting the seat
00:40:11and walked into
00:40:12someone else's arms.
00:40:14Michael hated me for it.
00:40:1510 years of no household money,
00:40:1710 years of that cold face.
00:40:18I worked myself raw
00:40:20to give the kid
00:40:21a better life
00:40:22and got sick doing it.
00:40:23And when I died,
00:40:25they finally got
00:40:26their happy ending.
00:40:27I laughed.
00:40:28Two lines of tears
00:40:29ran down my face.
00:40:30When I opened my eyes,
00:40:32I was back on the day
00:40:33Michael asked me
00:40:34for a divorce.
00:40:38This is on me.
00:40:40You agree to the divorce?
00:40:41I walk away with nothing.
00:40:42Deal?
00:40:43I froze
00:40:44and looked at the
00:40:45slightly younger face
00:40:46in front of me.
00:40:47The TV in the living room
00:40:48was re-running
00:40:48the Thanksgiving parade.
00:40:50The cheerful music
00:40:51made my chest go cold.
00:40:52There was still
00:40:53flour on my hands.
00:40:54Brian had been screaming
00:40:55for cookies that morning.
00:40:56I was up at 5
00:40:57to make the dough
00:40:58and my husband
00:40:59was standing in front of me
00:41:00in a hurry
00:41:00to go meet
00:41:01another woman's parents.
00:41:04Okay.
00:41:05Yeah.
00:41:05Wait for me.
00:41:06I'm coming.
00:41:07That kind of softness.
00:41:08I had barely heard it
00:41:09in more than 10 years
00:41:10of marriage.
00:41:12I'm taking Jessica
00:41:13to meet her parents today.
00:41:14Think it over.
00:41:15Give me an answer later.
00:41:17The door slammed.
00:41:18I didn't chase him
00:41:19the way I had
00:41:20in my last life.
00:41:21I didn't scream
00:41:21questions at him.
00:41:22I just looked down
00:41:23at my rough,
00:41:24cracked hands.
00:41:25Last time,
00:41:26this was where
00:41:27I ran after him
00:41:27and slapped him
00:41:28across the face.
00:41:30That slap went public.
00:41:31Michael got disciplined,
00:41:33called in by his bosses,
00:41:34and knocked out
00:41:34of the primary.
00:41:35He still wanted Jessica.
00:41:37Even with his career wrecked,
00:41:38he never looked back at me.
00:41:40This life,
00:41:40I will not spend my life
00:41:42as the doormat
00:41:43under their love story.
00:41:49In the mirror
00:41:50was a tired,
00:41:51slack,
00:41:51middle-aged face.
00:41:52I opened the cabinet.
00:41:54It was all theirs,
00:41:55his and Brian's.
00:41:56Mine was one cheap jar
00:41:57of cream,
00:41:58already dried hard.
00:41:59I dug some onto my hands,
00:42:01picked up my phone,
00:42:02and ordered
00:42:02a full La Mer set.
00:42:04Then I called a lawyer.
00:42:08Mr. Thompson,
00:42:09I want to talk about
00:42:12a divorce.
00:42:16After I hung up,
00:42:17I drove to my parents' house.
00:42:18The door opened
00:42:19on warm yellow light
00:42:20and the smell
00:42:21of roast turkey.
00:42:22They live cheap.
00:42:23They only cooked like this
00:42:24when we came home.
00:42:26Where's Michael?
00:42:27He's not with you?
00:42:30Something came up.
00:42:31I'll tell you inside.
00:42:33The TV in the living room
00:42:34was blasting.
00:42:34The game screen
00:42:36flashed hard enough
00:42:36to hurt.
00:42:37Brian was sunk
00:42:38in the couch,
00:42:39snack bags at his feet.
00:42:41He heard my voice
00:42:42and didn't even lift
00:42:43his eyes.
00:42:44Grandma,
00:42:44are my blueberries
00:42:45peeled yet?
00:42:46Hold on, sweetheart.
00:42:47These take work.
00:42:48Mom had a box of blueberries
00:42:49and was struggling
00:42:50to rinse them.
00:42:51Her arthritis
00:42:52still wasn't right.
00:42:53Her fingers
00:42:53didn't move well.
00:42:54Useless!
00:42:55The word was quiet.
00:42:57It still went through
00:42:58my ear like a needle.
00:43:04What did you just say?
00:43:06Brian froze,
00:43:07then opened his mouth
00:43:09and started to cry.
00:43:11It's Thanksgiving.
00:43:12What are you doing?
00:43:14Talk it out.
00:43:15Brian had his back up now.
00:43:17He wiped his face,
00:43:18glared at me,
00:43:19and ran to his room.
00:43:20The living room was left
00:43:21with the game over sound.
00:43:23I looked at mom's red fingers
00:43:25and thought of my last life.
00:43:27I thought swallowing it
00:43:29for the kid
00:43:29was how you kept a family.
00:43:31Turns out the first person
00:43:33in this house
00:43:33who learned to treat me
00:43:35like nothing was my son.
00:43:46I died at 48,
00:43:47late stage ovarian cancer.
00:43:48The day of the funeral,
00:43:49before they even put
00:43:50the coffin in the ground,
00:43:51my husband Michael
00:43:52brought that club hostess
00:43:53Jessica home.
00:43:54I floated above them
00:43:55and watched him.
00:43:56in the black suit
00:43:57I had pressed for 10 years
00:43:58holding another woman's hand.
00:43:59Michael,
00:44:00I thought I'd wait
00:44:01my whole life
00:44:01and never get you.
00:44:0510 years of pay
00:44:06is on this card.
00:44:08I never spent a dollar
00:44:09on that old woman.
00:44:12From now on,
00:44:13the three of us
00:44:14can finally live
00:44:15like a family.
00:44:17The ugly freak
00:44:18is finally dead.
00:44:21See?
00:44:22Only someone as pretty
00:44:23as Jessica

00:51:04Even with his career wrecked,
00:51:06he never looked back at me.
00:51:07This life,
00:51:08I will not spend my life
00:51:09as the doormat
00:51:10under their love story.
00:51:16In the mirror
00:51:17was a tired,
00:51:18slack,
00:51:18middle-aged face.
00:51:19I opened the cabinet.
00:51:21It was all theirs,
00:51:22his and Brian's.
00:51:23Mine was one cheap jar
00:51:25of cream,
00:51:25already dried hard.
00:51:26I dug some onto my hands,
00:51:28picked up my phone,
00:51:29and ordered
00:51:29a full La Mer set.
00:51:31Then I called a lawyer.
00:51:35Mr. Thompson,
00:51:36I want to talk about
00:51:39a divorce.
00:51:43After I hung up,
00:51:44I drove to my parents' house.
00:51:45The door opened
00:51:46on warm yellow light
00:51:47and the smell
00:51:48of roast turkey.
00:51:49They live cheap.
00:51:50They only cooked like this
00:51:51when we came home.
00:51:53Where's Michael?
00:51:54He's not with you?
00:51:57Something came up.
00:51:58I'll tell you inside.
00:52:00The TV in the living room
00:52:01was blasting.
00:52:02The game screen
00:52:03flashed hard enough
00:52:04to hurt.
00:52:04Brian was sunk
00:52:05in the couch,
00:52:06snack bags at his feet.
00:52:08He heard my voice
00:52:09and didn't even lift his eyes.
00:52:11Grandma,
00:52:11are my blueberries
00:52:12peeled yet?
00:52:13Hold on, sweetheart.
00:52:14These take work.
00:52:15Mom had a box of blueberries
00:52:16and was struggling
00:52:17to rinse them.
00:52:18Her arthritis
00:52:19still wasn't right.
00:52:20Her fingers
00:52:20didn't move well.
00:52:21Useless!
00:52:22The word was quiet.
00:52:24It still went through
00:52:25my ear like a needle.
00:52:31What did you just say?
00:52:33Brian froze,
00:52:34then opened his mouth
00:52:36and started to cry.
00:52:38It's Thanksgiving.
00:52:39What are you doing?
00:52:41Talk it out!
00:52:42Brian had his back up now.
00:52:44He wiped his face,
00:52:45glared at me,
00:52:46and ran to his room.
00:52:47The living room
00:52:48was left with
00:52:49the game over sound.
00:52:50I looked at mom's
00:52:51red fingers
00:52:52and thought of
00:52:52my last life.
00:52:54I thought swallowing it
00:52:56for the kid
00:52:56was how you kept a family.
00:52:59Turns out the first person
00:53:00in this house
00:53:00who learned to treat me
00:53:02like nothing was my son.
00:53:13I died at 48,
00:53:14late stage ovarian cancer.
00:53:15The day of the funeral,
00:53:16before they even
00:53:17put the coffin
00:53:18in the ground,
00:53:18my husband Michael
00:53:19brought that club hostess
00:53:20Jessica home.
00:53:21I floated above them
00:53:22and watched him
00:53:23in the black suit
00:53:24I had pressed for 10 years
00:53:25holding another woman's hand.
00:53:26Michael,
00:53:27I thought I'd wait
00:53:28my whole life
00:53:28and never get you.
00:53:3210 years of pay
00:53:33is on this card.
00:53:35I never spent a dollar
00:53:36on that old woman.
00:53:39From now on,
00:53:40the three of us
00:53:41can finally live
00:53:42like a family.
00:53:44The ugly freak
00:53:45is finally dead.
00:53:48See?
00:53:49Only someone as pretty
00:53:50as Jessica
00:53:50deserves to be my mom.
00:53:54That was when I knew.
00:53:55The marriage I fought
00:53:5610 years to keep,
00:53:58the son I raised,
00:53:59every dollar
00:54:00I scraped together,
00:54:01it had all been a joke.
00:54:02In my last life,
00:54:03Michael was 40
00:54:04when he fell
00:54:05for 27-year-old Jessica.
00:54:07He would rather torch
00:54:07his political future
00:54:08than stay married to me.
00:54:11The family told me
00:54:12to swallow it
00:54:13for the kid.
00:54:14I looked at little Brian
00:54:15and clenched my teeth.
00:54:18I would not sign.
00:54:20Jessica saw she wasn't
00:54:21getting the seat
00:54:22and walked into
00:54:22someone else's arms.
00:54:24Michael hated me for it.
00:54:2610 years of no household money,
00:54:2810 years of that cold face.
00:54:29I worked myself raw
00:54:31to give the kid
00:54:31a better life
00:54:32and got sick doing it.
00:54:34And when I died,
00:54:35they finally got
00:54:36their happy ending.
00:54:38I laughed.
00:54:39Two lines of tears
00:54:40ran down my face.
00:54:41When I opened my eyes,
00:54:42I was back on the day
00:54:44Michael asked me
00:54:44for a divorce.
00:54:48This is on me.
00:54:50You agree to the divorce?
00:54:52I walk away with nothing.
00:54:53Deal?
00:54:54I froze
00:54:55and looked at the
00:54:56slightly younger face
00:54:57in front of me.
00:54:57The TV in the living room
00:54:58was rerunning
00:54:59the Thanksgiving parade.
00:55:00The cheerful music
00:55:01made my chest go cold.
00:55:03There was still
00:55:03flour on my hands.
00:55:04Brian had been screaming
00:55:05for cookies that morning.
00:55:07I was up at 5
00:55:08to make the dough
00:55:08and my husband
00:55:09was standing in front of me
00:55:10in a hurry
00:55:11to go meet
00:55:12another woman's parents.
00:55:15Okay.
00:55:15Yeah.
00:55:16Wait for me.
00:55:17I'm coming.
00:55:17That kind of softness.
00:55:19I had barely heard it
00:55:20in more than 10 years
00:55:21of marriage.
00:55:23I'm taking Jessica
00:55:23to meet her parents today.
00:55:25Think it over.
00:55:26Give me an answer later.
00:55:27The door slammed.
00:55:29I didn't chase him
00:55:30the way I had
00:55:30in my last life.
00:55:31I didn't scream
00:55:32questions at him.
00:55:33I just looked down
00:55:34at my rough,
00:55:35cracked hands.
00:55:36Last time,
00:55:36this was where
00:55:37I ran after him
00:55:38and slapped him
00:55:39across the face.
00:55:40That slap went public.
00:55:42Michael got disciplined,
00:55:43called in by his bosses
00:55:44and knocked out
00:55:45of the primary.
00:55:46He still wanted Jessica.
00:55:48Even with his career wrecked,
00:55:49he never looked back at me.
00:55:50This life,
00:55:51I will not spend my life
