00:11:52I'm not breakable.

00:11:57And my second request is...

00:12:02I'll explain all the details later,
00:12:03but we got to go right now.
00:12:04Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:08Yeah, me too.
00:12:09I'm here all day.
00:12:10When it comes to hot women,
00:12:12nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:13We're specialists.
00:12:15Whoa.
00:12:16Easy.
00:12:17Down.
00:12:17Down, boys.
00:12:19Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:21Let's go.
00:12:22Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:27We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:28For now, this makes it official.
00:12:31By the way,
00:12:32how do you feel about kids?
00:12:34I feel great about kids.
00:12:36When I was a little girl,
00:12:39my mom always told me
00:12:40to always wear nice pajamas to bed.
00:12:42You know why?
00:12:43Why?
00:12:44In case of an emergency,
00:12:46if a fireman came in,
00:12:48she said,
00:12:48you never know.
00:12:50I know you might become your husband.
00:12:52I'm Margaret.
00:12:53I'm sorry I haven't had the chance
00:12:54to tell you this yet,
00:12:55but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:57I just happened to be there
00:12:58and was able to help that day.
00:13:04But you saved my life.
00:13:06I'm my mother's dress
00:13:08and that meant a lot to me.
00:13:10You're my hero.
00:13:13I should tell her who I am.
00:13:15Margaret, I'm the...
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:32I can tell her later.
00:13:34You know,
00:13:37we can't just kiss
00:13:38every single time
00:13:39we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:41You're right.
00:13:42You're right.
00:13:44No, no, you're not.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:55Oh!
00:13:56Right, thank you.
00:13:58Come on.
00:13:59Come on.
00:14:05Well, my husband.
00:14:07Shall we go to your place
00:14:08or mine?
00:14:09I'm...
00:14:10I'm actually homeless.
00:14:13My house burned down in the fires.
00:14:15I'm so sorry.
00:14:17Well, you're my husband now.
00:14:19So you can just move in with me.
00:14:21I'll help you move.
00:14:22I can't let her know
00:14:23I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:25It's too fancy.
00:14:29That's so kind
00:14:31and sweet of you,
00:14:32but I wouldn't want you
00:14:33to get your hands dirty.
00:14:34I'll handle it moving.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:36Well,
00:14:39this
00:14:40is my address.
00:14:43See you soon,
00:14:45husband.
00:14:52Dad,
00:14:52you can't make me sleep
00:14:54on the floor
00:14:55while you sleep
00:14:56with my mother
00:14:56on the Eiderdown
00:14:58Savoir Grand Emperor bed.
00:15:00That's not fair.
00:15:01No.
00:15:02Book me a suite
00:15:03right now.
00:15:04Are you delusional?
00:15:08Every decent hotel
00:15:10runs out of rooms.
00:15:11Oh,
00:15:12how about you
00:15:13go get yourself
00:15:14a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:15What?
00:15:16Noah!
00:15:18Honey,
00:15:19can I stay at your place?
00:15:22Look,
00:15:23either we solve this
00:15:24with Margaret
00:15:24or we're gonna leave.
00:15:26No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:27We'll fix it.
00:15:28She will marry you.
00:15:30Excuse her.
00:15:30She's still
00:15:30a little out of sorts
00:15:32after the whole
00:15:33city-burning-down thing.
00:15:35Well, she's gonna have
00:15:36to come crawling back
00:15:37to me
00:15:37on her knees.
00:15:39Too bad
00:15:39you couldn't choose
00:15:40Caitlin instead.
00:15:41No, Ravine,
00:15:42this is a business transaction.
00:15:44Steel marries Margaret,
00:15:46then becomes CEO
00:15:47of Foster Incorporated,
00:15:49my ex-wife's business.
00:15:51That's a perfect arrangement
00:15:53because Margaret
00:15:54supplies Steel
00:15:55with the money
00:15:55and Caitlin
00:15:57supplies him
00:15:58with other benefits.
00:16:01They're like a tag team.
00:16:03A tag team?
00:16:11Let's get this clear
00:16:12once and for all.
00:16:14None of you
00:16:14are ever
00:16:15getting your hands
00:16:16on my mother's money
00:16:17ever.
00:16:17not you,
00:16:19not my sleazy
00:16:20ass-for-sale
00:16:21stepsister,
00:16:22not this cheating
00:16:23manwhore,
00:16:24and not
00:16:24whoever the hell
00:16:26you are.
00:16:33For your information,
00:16:35I'm the mayor
00:16:37of this city,
00:16:38and you just
00:16:39called my son
00:16:40a manwhore.
00:16:42You will apologize.
00:16:44Now,
00:16:46on your knees,
00:16:48or I will
00:16:50crush you.
00:16:52No,
00:16:53I don't get
00:16:54on my knees.
00:16:55That's Caitlin's
00:16:56specialty,
00:16:57but I am
00:16:58so sorry
00:16:59that I called
00:16:59your son
00:17:00a manwhore.
00:17:01I should have
00:17:01called him
00:17:02a wannabe manwhore
00:17:03because he only
00:17:04has one pitiful
00:17:06pickup line.
00:17:07My mother's
00:17:08the mayor.
00:17:09A mayor
00:17:10who let the
00:17:10reservoirs get
00:17:11so dry
00:17:12that the whole
00:17:13city could burn.
00:17:14You want me
00:17:15to apologize?
00:17:16You should be
00:17:17apologizing to the
00:17:17people of this city.
00:17:19One more word.
00:17:21Sit down
00:17:21and shut it.
00:17:24You will be
00:17:25a humble,
00:17:26obedient,
00:17:27respectful wife,
00:17:29or you will
00:17:29never inherit
00:17:30that company.
00:17:32I'm afraid
00:17:33I can't marry
00:17:34Steele.
00:17:35Don't you know
00:17:35that polygamy
00:17:36is illegal
00:17:37in California?
00:17:38A woman can't
00:17:39have two husbands.
00:17:40What are you
00:17:41talking about?
00:17:44Well,
00:17:44you see,
00:17:45I'm already
00:17:46married.
00:17:51My paper
00:17:52beats your paper.
00:17:54What did you do?
00:17:55Grab some
00:17:55homeless guy
00:17:56to marry?
00:17:57Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
00:18:00Everyone knows
00:18:02you were engaged
00:18:03to the mayor's son.
00:18:04How dare you
00:18:05embarrass
00:18:06the mayor publicly?
00:18:08You were a liability
00:18:09to this company
00:18:09and you'll be
00:18:10replaced as a CEO
00:18:11by me.
00:18:12I am the new CEO.
00:18:15That is not
00:18:16going to happen.
00:18:17Hmm.
00:18:22I'll get to
00:18:22with you guys
00:18:23in a little bit.
00:18:24I'll feel clear
00:18:24out of my room.
00:18:26Boss,
00:18:26you married a girl
00:18:27you don't even know?
00:18:29What were you thinking?
00:18:30Whitman,
00:18:35sometimes in life
00:18:37you crunch the numbers
00:18:38and read the market
00:18:40and leverage your assets.
00:18:42And then there's
00:18:43other times
00:18:44you just listen
00:18:45to your heart.
00:18:47This is one
00:18:47of those times.
00:18:52There's my wife
00:18:52right now.
00:18:53Margaret,
00:18:58you're done.
00:19:00Who's that creep
00:19:01that's threatening her?
00:19:02That's Jackson Foster,
00:19:04your father-in-law.
00:19:05I did some research.
00:19:06Step ahead of you, boss.
00:19:08Well,
00:19:08I'm going to put
00:19:09an end to this.
00:19:12Anyone
00:19:13can make
00:19:14a fake marriage license.
00:19:15Just admit
00:19:16you don't have
00:19:16a husband.
00:19:17Excuse me.
00:19:18Who the hell are you?
00:19:22I'm Margaret's
00:19:23husband.
00:19:23Your dad.
00:19:25Is this
00:19:25some kind of joke?
00:19:27You're the joke.
00:19:28Of course
00:19:29it's you.
00:19:30You found
00:19:31some random
00:19:32fireman to marry.
00:19:33Oh my god.
00:19:35How pathetic.
00:19:37How much
00:19:37does he make
00:19:38a year?
00:19:39Like
00:19:39$30,000
00:19:41after taxes?
00:19:42You really
00:19:43lowered yourself,
00:19:44Margaret.
00:19:45A fireman?
00:19:48What's wrong
00:19:49with being a fireman?
00:19:50Poor.

00:19:56save your lives
00:19:57and you bitches
00:19:58point your noses
00:19:59down at them?
00:20:00They are saving
00:20:01this city
00:20:01because she was
00:20:03too inept
00:20:03to do it.

00:20:05and I'll wipe
00:20:06that ugly look
00:20:08off of your face
00:20:08permanently.

00:21:08Oh,

00:21:11I'm so sorry.
00:21:14Sorry about
00:21:15to get your asses
00:21:16kicked out of here.
00:21:17Security!
00:21:22Good move,
00:21:23Madam Mayor.
00:21:24And when this whole
00:21:25city burns down,
00:21:26how are you gonna
00:21:26explain to your people
00:21:27that you fired
00:21:28the firefighters
00:21:29that were trying
00:21:30to protect it?
00:21:31This is breaking news.
00:21:32It seems the mayor
00:21:33is firing a team
00:21:34of firefighters.
00:21:35Madam Mayor,
00:21:36do you have a comment?
00:21:38I would never do that.
00:21:40LA firefighters
00:21:42are our true heroes.
00:21:44I'm here to support them.
00:21:46That is very lovely.
00:21:48By the way,
00:21:49why are you here
00:21:50in a luxury hotel
00:21:51when the entire city
00:21:52is on fire?
00:21:54She was cutting a deal
00:21:55for a corporate takeover
00:21:56with a rich-ass CEO.
00:21:58Rich-ass CEO?
00:22:01Madam Mayor,
00:22:02is that true?
00:22:03And do you have a comment?
00:22:05As I said,
00:22:07I am here
00:22:08to support
00:22:09these brave men.
00:22:12Go firefighters!
00:22:14You know,
00:22:14many people
00:22:15are criticizing
00:22:16your complete
00:22:17and utter incompetence
00:22:18in the handling
00:22:19of the wildfires.
00:22:20In fact,
00:22:21people are pointing out
00:22:22the fact
00:22:22that you cut
00:22:23$17.5 million
00:22:25from the fire department's budget
00:22:27right as the wildfires
00:22:28were starting.
00:22:29What is your response?
00:22:35I have no comment.
00:22:41No comment.
00:22:44You know,
00:22:45not all rich CEOs
00:22:47are assholes.
00:22:48Believe me,
00:22:49they're all
00:22:50aggressive narcissists.
00:22:51I've seen
00:22:51way too many of them.
00:22:53That's why
00:22:53I just want
00:22:54a regular guy like you.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56I don't think
00:22:57she's going to light me
00:22:57if I tell her
00:22:58who I am.
00:22:58So, hey.
00:23:00So,
00:23:01how much
00:23:02did she pay you
00:23:02to be her fake husband?
00:23:04Well, like,
00:23:04a hundred bucks a day.
00:23:06Boy,
00:23:07you've really
00:23:07gotten desperate,
00:23:08huh?
00:23:09Hiring some nobody
00:23:10to pretend
00:23:11to be your husband
00:23:12just to cheat us,
00:23:13just so you could
00:23:14comply to the will
00:23:16and take over
00:23:17the company.
00:23:18That's very clever.
00:23:19How many times
00:23:21do I have to tell you
00:23:22that this is
00:23:23my mother's company
00:23:24so it belongs
00:23:25to me?
00:23:26You'll never
00:23:27pull it off.
00:23:28Let's go.
00:23:35Chris,
00:23:35thank you
00:23:36for standing by me.
00:23:38You married me
00:23:38for a business deal
00:23:39and didn't tell me?
00:23:42It wasn't
00:23:44for a business deal.
00:23:45It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:46I had to get married
00:23:48by next week
00:23:49or else I wouldn't
00:23:49have been able
00:23:50to inherit
00:23:50my mother's company,
00:23:51but it...
00:23:52I'm such
00:23:54an idiot.
00:23:56What?
00:24:00It wasn't
00:24:00a fake marriage!
00:24:02Don't go!
00:24:05He's a fireman?
00:24:07That is hot.
00:24:09Oh,
00:24:10he's incredibly hot,
00:24:11even though he's
00:24:11not an actual firefighter.
00:24:13She thinks you're hot
00:24:14and you saved her life.
00:24:16That's a pretty good start.
00:24:17So,
00:24:19he saved her life
00:24:20and then you told him
00:24:21you needed a husband
00:24:21for the inheritance
00:24:22and then he said...
00:24:23Actually,
00:24:23I didn't tell him
00:24:25that.
00:24:27Yeah,
00:24:27but I didn't hear
00:24:28that from her.
00:24:29I'm sure she was
00:24:30planning to.
00:24:31But there was a lot
00:24:32going on,
00:24:32you know,
00:24:32I almost died
00:24:33in a fire
00:24:34and then I escaped
00:24:35the hospital
00:24:36and the next thing
00:24:36you know,
00:24:36I'm kissing a guy
00:24:37that I haven't even
00:24:38know!
00:24:38And he kissed you back?
00:24:39Well,
00:24:40no,
00:24:40I mean,
00:24:40it was more than a kiss.
00:24:42I mean,
00:24:42it was like
00:24:42it was melting into him.
00:24:43She makes me feel
00:24:45like she's melting
00:24:46into me.
00:24:48I've never had anybody
00:24:49make me feel that way
00:24:49before.
00:24:51But then to find out
00:24:52that she wasn't
00:24:52being honest with me?
00:24:54You can still fix this,
00:24:55Margaret.
00:24:56Go talk to him.
00:24:58No!
00:24:59Talk to her.
00:25:00No!
00:25:01She was hiding
00:25:02things from me.
00:25:03What about you?
00:25:04I told her the truth
00:25:06that I am not a firefighter
00:25:08but was just to help her.
00:25:10What about the fact
00:25:11that you're the CEO
00:25:11of the Fortune 500 company
00:25:13with a net worth
00:25:13of like one point?
00:25:14Yeah,
00:25:14I didn't tell her
00:25:15that part,
00:25:16alright?
00:25:17What if I talk to him
00:25:18and he just shuts me out?
00:25:20She's afraid
00:25:20you'll shut her out.
00:25:22Do you want to
00:25:22shut her out?
00:25:23Really?
00:25:24What do you really want,
00:25:26Margaret?
00:25:27This is one of those
00:25:28moments in life
00:25:28where it's do or die.
00:25:29You need to open up
00:25:30to him.
00:25:46Thank you, guys.
00:25:47I appreciate it.
00:25:49We'll do our part.
00:25:50Boss!
00:25:51Boss!
00:25:52Boss!
00:25:53Boss!
00:25:59Boss!
00:26:11Hi, Chris.
00:26:14I know you're busy
00:26:15with the fires.
00:26:17Hi, Margaret.
00:26:19I have something
00:26:19I need to tell you.
00:26:21Now is probably
00:26:21not the best time.
00:26:22I just wanted to say
00:26:23that I'm sorry.
00:26:24I know that you're upset with me. I didn't mean to keep things from you. Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:31I don't expect you to forgive me, but I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:50Wait.
00:26:50How did you find me?
00:26:54I was just driving around. I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:58Do not do that again.
00:27:00I...
00:27:01Just stay away, okay?
00:27:08Just stay away, okay?
00:27:11If you want to contact me, call me and tell me where to meet you, but please let it be a safe place.
00:27:17You mean you want me to contact you?
00:27:20I certainly don't want you driving around in a red zone. It's far too dangerous.
00:27:24Right. I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:29Will there be a next time?
00:27:32Listen, I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:36Wow, you were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:42But when I saw you in that fire, and then afterwards, you kissed me.
00:27:49Okay, wait. Let's get one thing clear. I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:53I know. Of course.
00:27:55Of course not. It was a special circumstance.
00:28:00I'm sure I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:28:03I know. It's just that my financial situation is not what...
00:28:07How do you do that?
00:28:26Do that thing where you make me melt into you?
00:28:28Me?
00:28:29Me? I thought you did that. Isn't that what you do?
00:28:33No. It just happens. It's never happened to me before, but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:38I don't know.
00:28:58We were talking about something. What was that again?
00:29:01Uh-huh. Um, money.
00:29:03Right. Money. Oh my God, who cares about money?
00:29:06I don't care if you're poor, or in debt, or whatever.
00:29:10Well, that's the thing. I'm not actually...
00:29:12I don't want a rich man. I mean, my father is one, and my stepmother, and you've seen them.
00:29:18They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:21Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that, right?
00:29:25Look, let's just leave it at this. You don't have money, and so what? I don't need all the details.
00:29:31Are you sure?
00:29:32You're not going to abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:38You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:43I will never abandon you.
00:29:46Let's just...
00:29:47They will be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:52Premise?
00:29:52What's next?
00:30:10Here's your new home.

00:30:43Sorry.
00:30:44Um...

00:44:09that'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him
00:44:15Christopher moore guy is a real mystery man no public appearances and let's not forget we rejected his fire suppressant so he's probably pissed off at us
00:44:19don't worry about that we'll find out who he is and how to get to him that's my specialty
00:44:40i've never met with the management of a global corporation before

00:46:05read your poetic
00:46:06for the business proposal we could do something along the lines and stuff
00:46:09Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:46:19Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:22We're playing Twister.
00:46:24I'm... dramatic fact.
00:46:26I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:27You are, exactly.
00:46:28It's acting.
00:46:29I'm talking about my presentation that I have.
00:46:39Good morning, boss.
00:46:46I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:52He will show us to the office.
00:46:55I will show you to that office.
00:46:57What an honor.
00:46:58It's nice to meet you.
00:46:59I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:01Oh, of course.
00:47:02We work closely together and...
00:47:05He's my... manager!
00:47:10Do you feel ready?
00:47:14I think so.
00:47:15I need you to set up a meeting.
00:47:20We have an agreement to sign.
00:47:24She still doesn't know who you are?
00:47:27Copy that.
00:47:28Set up the meeting now.
00:47:29Oh, and the mayor wants to meet her.
00:47:31Of course she does.
00:47:32She's in the office now.
00:47:34What a surprise.
00:47:35Surprise!
00:47:36What's a surprise?
00:47:37Uh...
00:47:40Surprise!
00:47:41What's a surprise?
00:47:42Uh...
00:47:43Someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:54We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:57Yes.
00:47:58That's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:48:01I am the mayor.
00:48:03I know who you are.
00:48:04We all do.
00:48:05My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:08Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:48:12How dare you?
00:48:14You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:18Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:22Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:23That's him.
00:48:24Oh my God.
00:48:25Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:27Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:29Oh my God.
00:48:30Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:44Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:48Oh, no, no.
00:48:49I was just saying, Mr. There's more.
00:48:50Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:48:51What is with the mints here?
00:48:52We've got really good mints.
00:48:53Don't worry about it.
00:48:54Don't worry about it.
00:48:55Okay, I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:48:56But don't you get delusional.
00:48:57Whoever you're meeting has to be a low level lackey.
00:48:58Let's get real.
00:48:59The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:00Stallman.
00:49:01Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:03Got it.
00:49:04Uh-huh, uh, Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:05Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:06Hmm, sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:07Well, I just don't know.
00:49:08I've got a really good mints.
00:49:09I've got a really good mints.
00:49:10I don't know, I'm sorry.
00:49:11I've got a really good mints.
00:49:12I've got a really good mints.
00:49:13Don't worry about it.
00:49:14Okay, I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:15But don't you get delusional.
00:49:16Whoever you're meeting has to be a low level lackey.
00:49:17Let's get real.
00:49:18The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:20Stallman.
00:49:21Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:23Got it?
00:49:24Uh, Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:26Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:29bit longer. Sorry your meeting got delayed. Well, mine is right on the dot. You see, my husband and I
00:49:35made a presentation together. It's very professional. I think Moor Corp is really
00:49:40gonna like it. I'm taking three. Meant to be. How dare she? How dare she? Fine. We wait. But he
00:49:56better be here soon. I mean, of course. After all, you're the mayor. Um, thank you all for
00:50:04meeting with me today. Um, my name is Marvin Foster and I will. And I would love to work with you.
00:50:26Congratulations. He still isn't here. This is outrageous. Mr. Moor is on the way, but you know,
00:50:40LA traffic plus the fires make it even worse. Excuse me.
00:50:45Sorry to interrupt your indignation, but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:56I just signed a contract. I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:50:59Congratulations, Ms. Foster. Yeah. Okay. Quit playing games. You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:05Well, unfortunately for you, I did. And it's for an a hundred million dollar deal.
00:51:10Bullshit. Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:21You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad. Call me that!
00:51:28I will not let you do this. By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:51:33Three, two, one.
00:51:39Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:51:44Oh no, not again.
00:51:48You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team. I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:53Well, it looks like you have plenty of time. Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:51:58What do you have to say?
00:52:00It is completely unfair that you are judging me. I am working every minute on this.
00:52:06But you rejected Moor Corps' fire suppressant. And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:11I had my reasons.
00:52:13And what were they? Personal profits? Stock options.
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:52:20We got a tip that you have an under-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:26And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:52:30Uh, that is complete nonsense. Complete nonsense, that is.
00:52:35This is a witch hunt. Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:39Ask her why she canned the fire chief while her son is collecting millions as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:46So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:49Let's go.
00:52:50Let's go.
00:52:51But Madam Mayor, just one more. For the people.
00:52:54Last question about your personal record.
00:52:58Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:53:02It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:05I have been working on this every day.
00:53:08One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:14You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:18Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up. I wonder what he's like.
00:53:24Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:30That's what you said. Remember?
00:53:32Yeah, but his company's actually doing good things. Kind of want to meet him.
00:53:37I don't know if that's a great idea. He's a bachelor, you know? He, uh, might try to steal you from me.
00:53:46Oh, that is not gonna happen.
00:53:48I felt you supporting me today, Chris. All day.
00:53:54I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:58I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:54:03She was my rock.
00:54:05I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:10I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:12You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off and drag you to bed.
00:54:18And other times I just want to get closer and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:31My heart is racing for you.
00:54:35I don't know where you've been, but I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:52Let me take you by the hand.
00:54:54I need you to advance, but girl, it's our time.
00:55:00Just you and I.
00:55:02Don't hide.
00:55:05You killed it, Margaret. You're a rock star.
00:55:33We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:35Always.
00:55:36You see? Everyone's with you now.
00:55:39No one supports you now, because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:44It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:46You guys just see?
00:55:47Like anyone's gonna give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:51Oh my gosh.
00:55:52Put me through to finance.
00:56:06We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:08Once they find out that my surprise is better than more companies, they're gonna cut Margaret off like that.
00:56:16Oh, so uh, who you supported now?
00:56:22Are you sure a moral corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:28Are you sure a moral corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:36A hundred percent.
00:56:38Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:42Because a down payment of 30 million dollars just landed in our corporate account from more corp.
00:56:51Ooh, we're wrong again, Dad.
00:56:55It seems like you're making a real hammer out of that.
00:56:59Just you wait.
00:57:00Once they see that my surprise is superior, all of this will be all gone.
00:57:07Margaret, we want you to know that we support you and we've been on your side all along.
00:57:13Yes.
00:57:15I really appreciate that.
00:57:19Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:57:26Today's the day that we prove our suppressiveness superior once and for all.
00:57:31Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:33And as the new fire chief, you know what your job is, right?
00:57:40Fight the fires?
00:57:42No.
00:57:44Make sure you follow my commands.
00:57:50It's them.
00:57:53How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:55Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:00Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:01Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:05That's what you said.
00:58:06That's why you like me.
00:58:08Remember?
00:58:08Well, for a regular guy, you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:12I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:14Off record.
00:58:14And I want to know why.
00:58:17There it is.
00:58:18Oh, the fires are getting worse.
00:58:31Holy shit.
00:58:33Oh.
00:58:34Oh.
00:58:35No.
00:58:36That's not fire suppressant.
00:58:38It's more like fire starter.
00:58:40Call the chopper and tell him to stop dropping it.
00:58:43Oh, my God.
00:58:44It's too late.
00:58:47The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:49Good God.
00:58:51It's coming our direction.
00:58:52You're an idiot.
00:58:54If this reaches us, everything here is going to blow sky high.
00:58:58Oh.
00:59:00No, but how do half-ports like this get control of a city?
00:59:03We've got to do something about this.
00:59:05No.
00:59:05I'll fix it with you now, but first, I've got to get you to safety.
00:59:09Come on.
00:59:10Okay.
00:59:10Come on.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:12Okay.
00:59:15For now, I just want you to stay here and be careful.
00:59:19You need to be careful, too, Chris.
00:59:21You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:25What are you doing here?
00:59:26A step ahead of you.
00:59:28Thought you might need my help.
00:59:30Okay.
00:59:31Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:33You've got stuff to do for him?
00:59:36But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:38He is, but the thing is, um...
00:59:42I'm as your manager.
00:59:44I have to look after my employees.
00:59:47Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:53Just stay here.
00:59:55Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:57I will call my people, our people, to protect you.
01:00:03Uh, tomorrow.
01:00:09Call Caps on fire and have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:12Really?
01:00:13You didn't even do that for your own house, which is worth like $100 million.
01:00:16Just do it, okay?
01:00:18Okay.
01:00:19I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million.
01:00:22The cost of the service is probably...
01:00:24It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:26Okay.
01:00:27Call them right now.
01:00:29You're paying the bill.
01:00:31It's going to be an expensive call.
01:00:32Fire protection service?
01:00:44Where'd they come from?
01:00:48You screwed this up!
01:00:51I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:54Hold on.
01:00:55I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:58More, Corb.
01:00:59Okay?
01:01:00Okay?
01:01:01We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:01:03You know, very hush-hush.
01:01:05And then you get all the credit for it.
01:01:07How?
01:01:09They blocked our calls.
01:01:10We can't get to them.
01:01:11Yeah, we can't.
01:01:13But Margaret can.
01:01:16And she is still my daughter.
01:01:19My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:26We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:30This is bullshit.
01:01:31I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:33I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:36Not to watch it all burn down, because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:48Margaret!
01:01:48I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:02:01Huh?
01:02:02Oh, yes.
01:02:03Well, this, yes, it's my office.
01:02:06But, you know, if it's important.
01:02:07It is.
01:02:09Chris, my father called.
01:02:11He wants something.
01:02:15My father called.
01:02:16He wants something.
01:02:18The answer is no.
01:02:20If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably bad.
01:02:23Maybe not this time.
01:02:24He wants to call a truce.
01:02:31It's very unusual for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:36You'll need to be quick.
01:02:37Right.
01:02:38Mr. Moore is a very private man, and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:42Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:45Talk.
01:02:47Well, to be a vendor in this city, you have to go through lots of protocols.
01:02:53That takes time.
01:02:54We don't have time.
01:02:57Exactly.
01:02:57You see, Mr. Foster's company is already an approved vendor.
01:03:04And so...
01:03:05So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:03:06He sells to the city.
01:03:08But I can't let anyone know.
01:03:10Do I have that right?
01:03:11You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:14So, what's your price?
01:03:17Free.
01:03:18But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:20Why are you doing this?
01:03:22Well, we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:28Cut the bullshit.
01:03:29Cut the bullshit.
01:03:29Speak to me straight, or get out.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:38Let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:39We're doing this because our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:03:51It made the fires worse.
01:03:54If the public finds out, we're screwed.
01:03:56So, we'd like to use the Moore Corpse fire suppressant, but you can't tell anyone.
01:04:04They have to believe we made it.
01:04:07But if you agree, I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown L.A.
01:04:16Deal?
01:04:19Deal.
01:04:21We'll deliver 2,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon.
01:04:24But you must deploy it immediately.
01:04:27Fine.
01:04:28Um, just to confirm, what's the price?
01:04:34Zero.
01:04:36You don't pay a penny.
01:04:39Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:42Cut the formalities.
01:04:43We're done here.
01:04:45Okay.
01:04:47Thanks.
01:04:48This guy's a prime idiot.
01:04:49He chose for free.
01:04:50He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:04:51He doesn't care about small money.
01:04:52I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:04:55That's how I got him.
01:04:57I don't understand.
01:04:58Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:01Because I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:04I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:07I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:10I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:13I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:17I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:20Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:05:23It made the fire worse.
01:05:32It's been an hour.
01:05:34Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:36It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:37The pilots need time to confirm.
01:05:39Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:41It's like a miracle.
01:05:43Morcorp Suppressant is-
01:05:45Don't say Morcorp.
01:05:48No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:51As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:54it's our suppressant.
01:05:57Got it?
01:05:59Yes.
01:06:00Got it.
01:06:01No problem.
01:06:02You know how much money this is going to make us.
01:06:07You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:06:17And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:06:23Exactly.
01:06:24Gina, arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:33We are going to let everyone know I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:38Every news outlet saying the same thing.
01:06:49It's not a fluke.
01:06:51The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:54What about the suppressant?
01:06:56They've dropped all of it, and they want more.
01:06:59The winds have even died down.
01:07:01It's like nature is on our side now.
01:07:03Finally.
01:07:10Finally.
01:07:13The mayor is calling a press conference.
01:07:15You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:18I know she's going to try.
01:07:20Oh!
01:07:21What about Margaret?
01:07:23This is not good, boss.
01:07:25She really thinks I run Morcorp.
01:07:27I don't know why.
01:07:28You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:31Totally convincing.
01:07:33What you need is some acting classes.
01:07:37Don't you think it's time to let her in on this?
01:07:40As a matter of fact, I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:07:44One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:49Margaret, I have to tell you something.
01:07:51It's my father trying to sabotage me again.
01:07:53You know, I'm not afraid of him.
01:07:55No, it's not like that.
01:07:57It's about your husband.
01:08:09My husband.
01:08:10He is totally overprotective.
01:08:12You know that I had to convince him that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:08:17Margaret, it's about those rings.
01:08:25I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:31Two dozen fresh roses.
01:08:34Noki de la Luna.
01:08:36Oh.
01:08:37And I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:41They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:45I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:47Well, that's the thing.
01:08:49Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:52There's a name for those people.
01:08:54Billionaires.
01:08:56Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:58Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:09:02Now, I would have told you sooner, but you hate rich people so much that I was afraid you would get your guillotine out.
01:09:09How much do you know about Moore Corp's CEO Christopher Moore?
01:09:16He's some rich guy?
01:09:18Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:21Yeah, so?
01:09:24Do you remember that private investigator we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:29Good God, Isabel, would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:32I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:35There was very little there, but he did find one tidbit.
01:09:39Moore purchased some jewelry.
01:09:42Okay, yeah, rich guys buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:47So, this is what he bought.
01:09:52Look familiar?
01:09:53Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:55So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought copies.
01:09:58Well, this is the ledger entry.
01:10:01Look at the date.
01:10:03He bought these in LA the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:13So, that means my husband is...
01:10:16Christopher Moore?!
01:10:18So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:23Kind of.
01:10:24Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:26She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:29Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:30I trusted him!
01:10:31How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:10:34Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:37Who cares about you?
01:10:39Every woman in LA wants to be you!
01:10:41No!
01:10:42No, this is so wrong!
01:10:44Okay.
01:10:45Cash was in the oven.
01:10:46Salads in the fridge.
01:10:47Jean-Fallard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:10:48Now, I just have the prayer that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:10:49Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:50Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:55Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:56Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:57Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:02Margaret, I...
01:11:03Margaret, I...
01:11:04Don't say another word.
01:11:05Just leave.
01:11:06Just leave.
01:11:07You're a liar!
01:11:08You're a liar!
01:11:09Hey!
01:11:10You're Christians!
01:11:11Oh no!
01:11:12Don't say another word.
01:11:13It's good!
01:11:14I cannot do anything so that you don't want to talk to me so that you don't want.
01:11:16I'm 36 percent in my house behind me.
01:11:17Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:23Margaret, I...
01:11:25Don't say another word.
01:11:28Just leave.
01:11:32You're a liar!
01:11:47I am proud to announce that the fires that have been ravaging this city are now extinguished.
01:11:58These fires are out because of our brave mayor, Michelle Davis.
01:12:05And I just want to say thank you to the firefighters.
01:12:08I am the one who put out these fires.
01:12:13Girl, you really kicked a billionaire out of your house?
01:12:17He lied to me. I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:21I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:23He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:25Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:33And I would like to acknowledge myself for the courage, the vision, and the leadership
01:12:41that great leaders show when they're leading.
01:12:48Cringe.
01:12:49You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:52Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:54No, you cannot.
01:12:55The fire suppressant that put out the fires was created by me and deployed at my command.
01:13:06Yes, yes, yes, thank you.
01:13:10It's me who saved LA.
01:13:13Support me.
01:13:15Vote for me.
01:13:17Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:19God bless.
01:13:26Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
01:13:34Everything that you have just heard is a fairy tale.
01:13:38Fiction.
01:13:40A lie.
01:13:41Oh my goodness.
01:13:43Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:50The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:53Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:55Security.
01:13:57Have him removed.
01:13:58Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:14:00There's nothing to see here.
01:14:02The firemen are the true heroes who saved this city.
01:14:05The mayor has time and time again tried to stop them.
01:14:08That is bullshit.
01:14:11Security.
01:14:12Do your jobs.
01:14:13No, no, no.
01:14:14Let him speak.
01:14:15It's a free country.
01:14:16Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:18Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:19Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:20Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:21Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:23Are you hiding something?
01:14:25Of course not.
01:14:27She's afraid of me because she knows that I can tell you all right now what actually happened.
01:14:31And why should we listen to you?
01:14:32Because the fires of president that actually put out the fires was supplied by Moor Court.
01:14:40And I am the CEO of Moor Court.
01:14:45I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:47Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:50He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:52Instead of trying to put the fires out, the mayor and her collaborators were profiting off of them.
01:14:58I want to watch this live.
01:15:01You coming?
01:15:03No.
01:15:09Yes?
01:15:10Hold on, Isabel.
01:15:11My company has been trying to assist the firefighters.
01:15:18He's the CEO of Moor Court?
01:15:21Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:23If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:25Then do something to stop him.
01:15:27The mayor threatened us and time and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:32That is not true.
01:15:34Look, I received a medal for all of my hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:39I wouldn't have given myself this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:43Mr. Moore, I think there's been a little misunderstanding that I speak to you privately.
01:15:49The mayor wanted me to remind you about the permission from the shopping mall.
01:15:56Oh, of course.
01:15:58That reminds me.
01:16:00Whitman!
01:16:02Let's play them that video we brought.
01:16:03Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:12It made the fires worse.
01:16:15If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:18Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:23Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:26I mean, look at that.
01:16:27It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:16:30I have something to say about that.
01:16:40No.
01:16:42No!
01:16:43This man has no business here.
01:16:45He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:48Officers!
01:16:49Remove him!
01:16:51Are you going to stop?
01:16:56No, sir, Chief.
01:17:01We'll clear the way.
01:17:03Everyone, wait for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:07They're heroes.
01:17:13They're heroes.
01:17:14Stop then!
01:17:15That's an order!
01:17:17Now, uh...
01:17:18You gotta stop!
01:17:19You guys can't come up here.
01:17:22This is...
01:17:23This is a violation.
01:17:24Don't you touch me!
01:17:29We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:31Yeah!
01:17:32That's right!
01:17:34Taylor! Taylor! Taylor! Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!
01:17:39Shut up!
01:17:41All of you are fired!
01:17:44No!
01:17:45You can't do that!
01:17:46Let him speak!
01:17:50Stop touching me!
01:17:52Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:53the reason I was dismissed
01:17:55is because I refused
01:17:57to use the mayor's defective fire suppressant.
01:18:01You can't prove that!
01:18:03Actually, I can.
01:18:05All the data is in these documents.
01:18:07They include sworn testimony from the pilots
01:18:12who were eyewitnesses.
01:18:14Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:17You should resign.
01:18:19Get out of here!
01:18:21No!
01:18:22No!
01:18:23Listen to me!
01:18:24Stop it!
01:18:25Stop it!
01:18:26Stop it!
01:18:27Stop it!
01:18:28Stop it!
01:18:29Stop it!
01:18:30Stop it!
01:18:31Stop it!
01:18:32Stop it!
01:18:33Stop it!
01:18:34Stop it!
01:18:37Before we wrap this up,
01:18:38I'd like to share something personal.
01:18:47Before we wrap this up,
01:18:48I'd like to share something personal with you all.
01:18:53Chief Taylor, you don't mind.
01:18:55Go ahead.
01:18:56We've all lived through this horrible disaster.
01:19:02But in the midst of tragedy,
01:19:04sometimes you can find clarity, beauty, and even love.
01:19:10The catastrophe of these LA wildfires has brought much darkness.
01:19:16But it's also brought people together.
01:19:19It brought a woman with a beautiful heart into my life.
01:19:22And if I can take a moment of your time,
01:19:24I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:29Margaret,
01:19:31I love you.
01:19:33It hurts
01:19:34to not be with you.
01:19:36I know I kept things from you,
01:19:37and that was not right.
01:19:40I don't expect you to forgive me.
01:19:42But if I'm being honest,
01:19:44you're the only person I'll ever love.
01:19:46LA is full of idols and superstars.
01:19:51But you,
01:19:53you're the only superstar I've ever wanted,
01:19:56or will ever want.
01:19:59The fires may be out now,
01:20:02but there's a fire in my heart
01:20:04that will never stop burning.
01:20:07It will burn forever,
01:20:09for you.
01:20:11So,
01:20:15if you can find it in your heart to forgive me,
01:20:18no matter how much time it takes,
01:20:19I will be waiting.
01:20:21I don't know where you are,
01:20:23but I hope,
01:20:25somehow,
01:20:27you've heard my message.
01:20:32I heard it.
01:20:33Margaret,
01:20:39last time you proposed to me,
01:20:41now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:49Margaret,
01:20:51will you marry me,
01:20:52and be my wife?
01:21:03You're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:04I thought you were doing it.
01:21:05I thought you were doing it.
01:21:06I thought you were doing it.
01:21:07I thought you were doing it.
01:21:08I thought you were doing it.
01:21:09I thought you were doing it.
01:21:10I thought you were doing it.
01:21:12Mom, that's not good.
01:21:13And you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:30I thought you were doing it.
01:21:35Mom, that's not good.
01:21:37Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:41I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:46Michelle Davis, you're under arrest on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:51Are you insane?
01:21:53You just committed career suicide.
01:21:56You're fired.
01:21:58You're on fire.
01:21:59Take your hands off her.
01:22:00She's the mayor.
01:22:00And you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement.
01:22:05Let's go.
01:22:05Take them both.
01:22:06On my side.
01:22:06You have the right to remain silent.
01:22:08I fired you.
01:22:09Well, I'm going to regret this.
01:22:11Hurry up.
01:22:14We need to run.
01:22:15The police will be here soon.
01:22:16Why should I leave?
01:22:17I don't want to go anywhere.
01:22:19I've got three tickets to Venezuela.
01:22:21You get to sit by the window.
01:22:23We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:25Don't worry.
01:22:26I have plenty of cash.
01:22:27And I have a buyer lineup for the house.
01:22:30Apologies.
01:22:32But you can't sell something that's not rightfully yours.
01:22:34What the hell is going on here?
01:22:38You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:42No.
01:22:43Margaret.
01:22:45My daughter.
01:22:47I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:48It belongs to you.
01:22:50Your mother's company.
01:22:51Her home.
01:22:52It's all yours.
01:22:54Chris.
01:22:57Mr. Moore.
01:22:59I'm your father-in-law.
01:23:01I'm almost 60.
01:23:02You don't want to put me away, do you?
01:23:04You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:08Oh, wait.
01:23:09You asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:12You know, in fact, since the day that I met you, you've done nothing but tried to destroy
01:23:15your own daughter.
01:23:16No.
01:23:17You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:20Hey, I...
01:23:21How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:26You are an ungrateful little bitch.
01:23:31Oh, no.
01:23:32I forgot.
01:23:33You can't leave the country until the trial's over.
01:23:45Oh, and by the way,
01:23:47your assets are frozen, so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:50But don't worry.
01:23:51We've made arrangements for you to stay at a different place.
01:23:55What other arrangements?
01:23:57You know that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:24:00What?
01:24:01Oh, my God.
01:24:01No.
01:24:03No, no, no.
01:24:09Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:17I bet your mom was an amazing person.
01:24:21And I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:23She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:26She'd say no matter where she was, she'd be able to feel it.
01:24:39Heart to heart.
01:24:40What do you think?
01:24:41I think you are so radiant
01:24:45that she can most certainly see your glow all the way from heaven.
01:24:49Well, if she is really looking down,
01:24:52then she'll be very glad to know
01:24:53that I found a much better man.
01:24:56And I bet she'd be so excited
01:24:58to know that I'm marrying a...
01:25:00I don't know, you know?
01:25:02No.
01:25:03A fireman.
