00:00:00All right, here are your appetizers and your entrees will arrive shortly.
00:00:09She looks like the woman who's been out with Daniel Ross.
00:00:13Daniel Ross? You mean Hollywood's top emerging producer?
00:00:18There's no way she'd work at a place like this.
00:00:21You're right.
00:00:23Ava, what are you doing? Daydreaming?
00:00:26Why haven't you served that table over by the window yet?
00:00:29They've been waiting for 30 minutes.
00:00:31No, no, no, no. I don't want to hear your excuses.
00:00:33Get it done or go waste time at a different restaurant.
00:00:42Psst, Ava.
00:00:46Didn't I tell you if I don't call for you, don't show up?
00:00:48I have some news for you. Your husband, Mr. Daniel Ross?
00:00:52I hear he's hosting a banquet here tonight.
00:00:55I think he's even bringing along his cast from his latest production.
00:00:58I know. Today's our anniversary and I've been supporting him for three years.
00:01:02So tonight I'm going to reveal my true identity.
00:01:07Sam, it's finally my time.
00:01:10Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:11Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:15Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:29Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:30Daniel, you're not the only one with a surprise tonight.
00:01:36I was going through this entire birthday party just for me.
00:01:42Are you worried your wife's gonna find out?
00:01:58Babe, I've been wanting to get rid of her for so long now.
00:02:02Tonight, she's going to sign those divorce papers.
00:02:05But, babe, I know you've been going through it.
00:02:10So tonight, in front of everybody, I want to tell you...
00:02:14Surprise!
00:02:21Surprise!
00:02:24Ava? What are you doing here?
00:02:28Oh, babe, I see that your standards really were in the gutter.
00:02:33Daniel? What is this?
00:02:36Today's her anniversary. Who is she?
00:02:39Well, since you're already here, meet Sofia, my future.
00:02:44What? I'm your wife!
00:02:50Let's be real. If you hadn't thrown yourself at me, we'd never be married.
00:02:54That's a lie. I was there for you and I supported you when no one else would.
00:02:58Thought without me you wouldn't even have your film company.
00:03:00My company? All you did was drain me.
00:03:08Sofia here, she's not only beautiful, but she's smart, she's driven, and she's going to take our company to the top.
00:03:16What could she possibly do for you?
00:03:20I've just been cast as the lead role in V's new film, Scarlet Dreams.
00:03:24And Daniel's company will be working with the Hollywood elite.
00:03:28You probably don't even know who V is.
00:03:30Oh, I know exactly who V is.
00:03:36And trust me, she would never pick you.
00:03:46She'd never pick you.
00:03:48You really think V would pick you over me?
00:03:51Don't be a sore loser.
00:03:53How are you saying this?
00:03:56She's not even worth Daniel Roth.
00:03:58I know she's talking about the casting.
00:03:59He lies.
00:04:00Exactly.
00:04:01No wonder Daniel's never brought her to an event before.
00:04:04Too embarrassing.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06What spell did she use to leech him off three years?
00:04:08That's enough, Ava.
00:04:10Stop making a fool of yourself.
00:04:13Let's just sign the divorce papers and be done with it.
00:04:19Papers.
00:04:20Grandpa.
00:04:23Listen, everything has been arranged with the Bryant heiress.
00:04:26As the future of the Katzenberg family, you must secure this alliance.
00:04:31Understood, Grandpa.
00:04:32I won't let you down.
00:04:35There.
00:04:36We're finished.
00:04:37Perfect.
00:04:38And while we're at it, why don't you have 20 grand?
00:04:43Consider a payment for three years in my bed.
00:04:46Because that's all you're worth.
00:04:50Oh my god, Daniel, that's Versace.
00:04:55You crazy woman!
00:05:03You crazy woman!
00:05:05Who the hell are you?
00:05:12She'll be in a light pink dress.
00:05:13Light pink dress?
00:05:15That must be her.
00:05:21Apologize to the lady.
00:05:23Let go of me!
00:05:25Who are you?
00:05:26I could be calling the cops!
00:05:27This is assault!
00:05:28Be my guest.
00:05:30Alright!
00:05:31Alright!
00:05:33God!
00:05:34Oh, you had me fooled, Ava.
00:05:38Pretending to be a sweet little innocent victim.
00:05:41While you were using my money to pay off your side bitch!
00:05:44You know what?
00:05:45You're absolutely right.
00:05:47And I'm not just keeping him.
00:05:50I'm marrying him.
00:05:51What?!
00:05:54I'm Ava.
00:05:55You're one of the actors from Daniel's latest production, right?
00:05:57Uh...
00:05:58Look, I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:05:59Actor?
00:06:00I, uh...
00:06:01Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:02I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:03Just, name your price.
00:06:04Excuse me?
00:06:05Oh, come on.
00:06:06I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:08William.
00:06:09Um...
00:06:10You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:11Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:12Perfect.
00:06:13Stop it.
00:06:14I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:15I'm sorry for dragging you into it.
00:06:16Actor?
00:06:17I, uh...
00:06:18Okay, let's just cut to the chase.
00:06:19I would like to hire you to play my fiancé.
00:06:20Just, name your price.
00:06:21Excuse me?
00:06:22Oh, come on.
00:06:23I mean, you wouldn't be taking gigs like this unless you needed the money, right?
00:06:26William.
00:06:31Um...
00:06:33You know, funnily enough, I'm in the market for a contract bride.
00:06:37Let's call it a mutual benefit.
00:06:38Perfect.
00:06:39Starting now, you're officially my fiancé.
00:06:48Um...
00:06:50Should...
00:06:51Should we...
00:06:57There you go.
00:07:09Hey, Grandpa.
00:07:10Uh, did you change the gate passcode? I can't get in.
00:07:22Can't get in.
00:07:23That's the idea.
00:07:24How many times did I tell you not to screw this up?
00:07:27Miss Bryan told me you never even showed up to meet her!
00:07:31Wait...
00:07:32What?
00:07:33So...
00:07:34She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:35So...
00:07:36She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:38She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:39She's not Miss Bryan.
00:07:55Three years.
00:07:56Finally back.
00:07:57Hello?
00:07:58Hey!
00:07:59It's me!
00:08:00Oh, um...
00:08:01Hey!
00:08:02Uh, what's up?
00:08:03I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:04Hello?
00:08:05Hey!
00:08:06It's me!
00:08:07Oh, um...
00:08:08Hey!
00:08:09Uh, what's up?
00:08:10I think you could do me a favor.
00:08:12Hi.
00:08:13Hey!
00:08:14Hey!
00:08:15Um...
00:08:16So what's this about suddenly having nowhere to stay?
00:08:17Well, uh...
00:08:18Um...
00:08:19I've been out of work.
00:08:20I couldn't pay my rent.
00:08:21So...
00:08:22Landlord kicked me out.
00:08:23Thanks for letting me crash.
00:08:24Um...
00:08:25I'm sorry.
00:08:26I'm sorry.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:28I'm sorry.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:30I'm sorry.
00:08:31I'm sorry.
00:08:32I'm sorry.
00:08:33I'm sorry.
00:08:34I'm sorry.
00:08:35I'm sorry.
00:08:36I'm sorry.
00:08:37I'm sorry.
00:08:38I'm sorry.
00:08:39I'm sorry.
00:08:40I'm sorry.
00:08:41I'm sorry.
00:08:42Come on.
00:08:52You live here.
00:08:55Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:08:58Uh...
00:09:04Don't tell me you're secretly loaded.
00:09:07Uh...
00:09:08No.
00:09:09This belongs to a friend who married into money overseas.
00:09:12I'm just half sitting.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:15Uh...
00:09:16Make yourself comfortable and I'll fix something to eat.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19Damn.
00:09:20Totally forgot it's been three years.
00:09:33Three years since what?
00:09:34Ahh!
00:09:35Uh...
00:09:36Uh...
00:09:37Uh...
00:09:38Um...
00:09:39So the fridge...
00:09:40Is empty.
00:09:41Yeah.
00:09:42Do you want pizza?
00:09:43Um, so the fridge is empty.
00:09:51Yeah.
00:09:53Do you want pizza?
00:09:57Yeah, yeah. Pizza works.
00:10:01All right.
00:10:06I'll go make an order.
00:10:09Right.
00:10:13Oh, you're...
00:10:27Hey, Peter. Run a check on this girl.
00:10:35Oh, my God. Mike.
00:10:38Ava has just told me that Daniel has divorced her.
00:10:41What the?
00:10:43I told you that bastard Daniel was no good for her.
00:10:49I swear if he heard my Ava, that's it.
00:10:54Him and his company are dead.
00:10:56Hear me? They're dead.
00:10:57Hey, you okay?
00:11:16Um, it's my stomach.
00:11:20Here, run.
00:11:21Let's get you down.
00:11:26Hey.
00:11:26You know, you're the first person who's taking care of me like this.
00:11:51Other than my parents.
00:11:55Wow.
00:11:57Do you think you ate something bad?
00:12:00It's just an allergy.
00:12:01I probably should have checked if the pizza had any soy before eating, like, half of it.
00:12:08But I'll be fine after some rest.
00:12:10Okay.
00:12:11Okay.

00:13:51I just got up.
00:13:53Um, do you have an apron or you're also a bit hot?
00:14:02Of course.
00:14:03Um, just let me help you.
00:14:19Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:14:29Oh God, Ava, what are you doing?
00:14:42Uh, who are they?
00:14:49I'm her!
00:14:50They are my best friend's parents.
00:14:52They've come to see if the house needs any repairs, right?
00:14:57And this is?
00:15:00He's, um, um...
00:15:07Nice to meet you.
00:15:09I'm, uh, Ava's fiancee.
00:15:12What?
00:15:13Yeah, um, he's my fiancee, William.
00:15:22Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:15:31Ava, what the hell is going on?
00:15:40Mom, look, I don't even know where to start.
00:15:44Okay, let's just say I got myself a husband.
00:15:50You pick up a husband like you pick up a stray dog.
00:15:53Pretty much.
00:15:54Honestly, it's almost like the same thing.
00:15:56Oh, whatever.
00:15:57All right, well, that is not the issue.
00:15:59The real issue is that your father has called the shots in three hours.
00:16:05And that shameless bitches' relatives won't even exist.
00:16:08What?
00:16:09No, we're not doing that.
00:16:10Why not?
00:16:11Anyone that harms my girl deserves to rot in hell.
00:16:14Your dad and I will tear them apart and feed them to the wolves.
00:16:18Okay, Mom, you just let me handle my enemies, okay?
00:16:21Tonight at the director's dinner, I will make the meat dirt in front of everyone.
00:16:25Trust me, we're not going to let him get away with it.
00:16:34So, William, which family are you from?
00:16:42I, uh, I am.
00:16:51Okay, Dad, he might not have some fancy pedigree, but he's a real go-getter.
00:17:06A rising star in the performing arts.
00:17:11A rising star?
00:17:15Ava, how can you still fall for the lies of these bottom-feeder wannabes?
00:17:21Haven't you had enough of their pathetic excuses?
00:17:24You didn't listen to us before.
00:17:26And now look where you are.
00:17:27Okay, that's enough.
00:17:28We gotta get going.
00:17:29Let's go.
00:17:30That's okay.
00:17:31Bye.
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:17:40I know those words hurt.
00:17:46It's fine.
00:17:48You know, the way you treat your best friend's parents, it's like you see them as your own.
00:17:54Uh, my best friend's family owe us, so...
00:17:59They owe you?
00:18:00Why, why do they owe you?
00:18:02Well, when my friend's family were broke, my parents gave them $10,000.
00:18:09After that, they made it big, so...
00:18:11Our families kind of have, like, this special bond.
00:18:14Hmm.
00:18:23Big news!
00:18:24The eminent and elusive Oscar-winning director known as Director V,
00:18:28winner of last year's Palme d'Or, Golden Lion, and Golden Bear,
00:18:32is set to make a major public appearance this week and reveal their next film project.
00:18:37Hey, I've gotta go run an errand, so I'll, uh, be back later.
00:18:47Oh, I'm heading out, too.
00:18:48You on a ride?
00:18:49No, I'm going pretty far, but I'll, uh, see you tonight.
00:18:52This invitation must have fell.
00:19:07Glad I spotted it in time.
00:19:09Ava?
00:19:22Hey!
00:19:23What are you doing here?
00:19:24I, um...
00:19:25I'm meeting a producer for a lunch at the hotel.
00:19:28Oh.
00:19:29What are you doing here?
00:19:30Funny coincidence, uh, a friend recommended me a job here.
00:19:33Oh, that's great.
00:19:34You know, for a moment I thought you were here for the director's dinner.
00:19:37Oh, God, no.
00:19:38I mean, I'm just a regular housewife.
00:19:40I could never be in the film industry.
00:19:42I mean, I kind of thought you were going.
00:19:45I'd love to, but right now, no fame, no invite.
00:19:49Oh.
00:19:50I mean, don't worry.
00:19:51You'll get there soon enough.
00:19:52You can come with me.
00:19:54I'll see you tonight.
00:19:55Tonight, then.
00:19:56Great.
00:19:57Hmm.
00:19:58Please go ahead, sir.
00:20:00Please go ahead, then.
00:20:18Please go ahead, then.
00:20:23Ah, shit.
00:20:26Sorry, I think I lost my invitation.
00:20:28Um, can you just make an exception?
00:20:30You lost it? Or you never had one?
00:20:32You seriously think I'm trying to sneak in?
00:20:34Isn't that exactly what you're doing?
00:20:35I've seen hundreds of people like you today.
00:20:38Ava?
00:20:39What are you? You're stalking us?
00:20:42Take your hands and leave us alone.
00:20:46It's like wherever we are, you're just there, stalking us.
00:20:52What?
00:20:57Weird.
00:20:58Why do I have two?
00:21:02Ava?
00:21:06It's like wherever we are, you're just there, stalking us.
00:21:09You guys really think that much of yourselves?
00:21:12What?
00:21:13You really think they're just gonna let some housewife into V's banquet?
00:21:17Maybe you should get over yourself.
00:21:20Daniel dropped a cool one million to get me in.
00:21:25He wouldn't spend a dime on someone like you.
00:21:28Babe, it's just a million.
00:21:30Like soon, we'll be raking in the big bucks.
00:21:34Billions.
00:21:35Oh, I love the way you say that.
00:21:37Daniel, do share your brand of pillow.
00:21:39Your dreams are real sweet.
00:21:40All right, we have done Ava, all right?
00:21:43The divorce papers are signed and I don't love you anymore.
00:21:47So, leave us alone.
00:21:50Because frankly, you're disgusting.
00:21:53I'm not gonna waste time with lunatics.
00:21:55Oh, shit.
00:21:57Mrs. Roth, if you will follow me, please, to the VIP entrance.
00:22:05Hi, Mom. I'm actually divorced. I'm not Mrs. Roth.
00:22:20Mrs. Roth.
00:22:22You see that one?
00:22:24That's the new Mrs. Roth.
00:22:26I'm sorry, Ms. Gray.
00:22:27Sure, I'll take care of it.
00:22:28No worries.
00:22:29Just go let the rocks in.
00:22:31No worries.
00:22:32My apologies, Mrs. Roth.
00:22:35I've made a mistake.
00:22:36Let me guide you to the VIP entrance, please.
00:22:39Well, since you apologize so sweetly, I'll let it slide.
00:22:43Oh, babe.
00:22:44Your investment in tuition is incredible.
00:22:47No.
00:22:48It's you.
00:22:49You're my superstar.
00:23:03She's not here.
00:23:05I guess I messed up.
00:23:09Of course.
00:23:10Why would Ava have a little invite?
00:23:14Stupid.
00:23:17Ladies and gentlemen, next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:25Next up, the world-renowned, mysterious, director V graces the stage.
00:23:43V, she feels so familiar. Almost like Ava.
00:23:47Finally, we get to see V in person.
00:23:48I can't believe that the legendary director V is a woman.
00:23:49It's been three years in her last project. Can't wait to see her next one.
00:23:50This V, I figure it's almost like Ava's.

00:55:05Mom, I've just, I've been through too much lately and I'm exhausted.
00:55:10I need to clear my head, I'm exhausted.
00:55:14Don't let anyone hold you back.
00:55:16You deserve a bigger world.
00:55:20Maybe you'll find somebody better for you.
00:55:22No, no, I have been fooled too many times and I think,
00:55:26I just, I don't trust any guy anymore.
00:55:29If you end up with a woman, that's okay too.
00:55:32As long as you're happy.
00:55:33Mom, trust and orientation are completely different things.

01:01:25Ava
01:01:29Since we've met
01:01:31We've been through so much together
01:01:33You've been flirting with death
01:01:35On the day of your movie premiere
01:01:38And on your very special day
01:01:40I have to ask
01:01:41Will you marry me?
01:01:48William
01:01:48No
01:01:55You have to marry me
