Short filmTranscript
00:00I've been married for three years.
00:06Can't you spare me a little love?
00:09No love, no sex, remember?
00:11I want you to give me a child.
00:16You really want to throw out the rules?
00:17You really want to be with me?
00:23It's a dream.
00:30They say every story has a beginning.
00:33As a best-selling romance writer, I thought I knew everything about love, but I got it
00:47all wrong.
00:52There you are, Edith.
00:56I'm borrowing a husband for dinner again tonight.
00:58I hope you don't mind.
01:01Nolan is my husband, Nancy, not yours.
01:04He was just forced to marry you.
01:06If it's a choice between you or me, he's always going to pick me.
01:11Do you smoke gas?
01:13Hmm?

11:37all this time I've never noticed my contract wife
11:40is a hottie
11:41God, maybe I am impotent
11:45I've been thinking about what you said
11:59do you really want to throw out the rules?
12:02do you really want to be with me?
12:04do you really want to be with me?
12:05do you really want to be with me?
12:07do you really want to throw out the rules?
12:09do you really want to throw out the rules?
12:11I don't know
12:13why don't you say something sooner
12:14I'm saying it now
12:16What are you gonna do about it?
12:20It's so weird
12:32it's okay
12:34Hampton
12:37sig pregnant
12:39It's just a dream.
13:09Nancy, hey, um, what's up?
13:24Nolan, I'm freaking out.
13:26They're sending me home from the hospital tomorrow and I don't want to be alone now.
13:30I'm pregnant.
13:32Can I move in with you?
13:38So, what do you think? Should we give Nancy the guest room or...?
13:45It's up to you.
13:46No, no, no. You leave here too.
13:48Not for much longer.
13:51Do whatever suits you, Nolan.
14:01I don't know, man. It's one thing for you to look after Tom's widow after he died on the job, but moving her into your place, that's a lot.
14:16Look, she doesn't have anyone else, okay? She says she's scared to be alone.
14:23What did Edith say?
14:27Well, she said it was my call, since we'll be divorcing soon.
14:31Yeah, about that. Since you guys are calling her quits, how'd you feel about me asking her out?
14:38What, Edith?
14:39Yeah. I mean, no offense, man, but she's hotter than a bike seat in summer.
14:43Um...
14:44Well, she's her own person, so...
14:48I'm not gonna stand in the way of that.
14:51Cool.
14:52Thanks, man.
14:53Blinded by perception
15:03Is there no other...
15:10Is there no other way?
15:21Nolan?
15:22You are a lifesaver.
15:25Thank you for taking us in.
15:27Uh, yeah, no problem. Just let me know if you need extra pillows or whatever.
15:36Is Edith home?
15:38Ah, must be.
15:42Damn it. I think I got something in my eye.
15:46Oh, God. Let me see.
15:53Ahem!
15:56Whoops!
16:00Well, um...
16:01You going out?
16:03I have a date.
16:07Wow.
16:09You look great.
16:13Hey, man.
16:14Nice place.
16:16Hi, Frankie.
16:17Nancy?
16:18Nancy
16:24We should go. Yeah, sure
16:29I'll see you at work, man. Yeah
16:34See you at work
16:42Hey, how's that? You see? Yeah. Yeah
16:48That's all good. Hey. Well, I didn't think I was gonna see you today.
16:55I thought you asked me to come in.
16:58Um, Dad was just saying how the doctors are really happy with his latest blood results.
17:03I told them that I was always a, you know, high achiever and I can't slap that.
17:10That's all good. That's great news.
17:13Sorry, but we need you for more tests, Mr. Blair.
17:17Oh, okay.
17:19Um, don't worry. We'll wait for you.
17:21Okay. Yeah.
17:23Right.
17:25Yeah. All good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
17:53Nothing here is right
17:58Feeling dead inside
18:01Everything feels like a dream
18:05It's all gone wrong
18:07Waiting for a call
18:11Holding on to hope
18:15Hold me closer
18:19Hold me closer
18:23Please don't leave me now
18:28Hold me closer
18:33I can't lose you now
18:50Hey!
18:53Those are great
18:58These are to say sorry for ending our date early
19:03Chocolate chip, my favorite
19:07And you can make it up to me by saying yes to another date
19:10Um, you got around to ordering those new masks?
19:16Will you do it?
19:17Uh, no, I was gonna do it tonight
19:18I think I missed delivery cut off
19:21So I'll probably get onto it now
19:23Okay, sure thing, boss
19:25I'll see you later
19:26We could go get some lunch, if you like
19:32Okay, what were you thinking?
19:37There you are
19:38We have a prenatal checkup today, remember?
19:41Looks like you're busy
19:49Good luck with the appointment
19:51I keep letting my guard down
20:03And he keeps reminding me why I needed up in the first place
20:07Fuck him
20:08He's actually the dumbest man on the planet for cheating on you with that horrible bitch
20:12Fuck
20:13It's him
20:18He's asking me out to dinner tonight
20:21Seven o'clock
20:23What are you gonna say?
20:29The nurse said that these tests probably won't be done until late
20:32You can stay with me though, right?
20:39Nolan
20:39I just hate doing these things alone
20:43When Tom should be here
20:44Um, yeah
20:47God, I love pizza
20:56I know, it's uh
20:58It's why I got it
21:00Um
21:06Is that a problem?
21:09No, it's just
21:10You usually don't care about what I like or don't like
21:14You probably don't even know when my birthday is
21:17It's in June
21:19Isn't it?
21:24Okay, I'm not that good with dates, but
21:26Not that bad
21:29Am I?
21:32All you ever care about or think about is your work
21:37Duty, doing the right thing for everyone else
21:40We might as well be two strangers sharing this place
21:44Yeah, well, I'm
21:46I'm sorry for
21:47Making you feel unimportant
21:49What?
21:53I never thought I'd hear you say something like that
21:56Well
21:58Sorry for
22:00For hurting you
22:02For neglecting you
22:09No
22:11No
22:11You deserve better
22:16I just remembered I've got an early start
22:31Um
22:33I'm seeing your dad tomorrow
22:35Do you want me to bring him anything?
22:39Um
22:40Yeah, just tell him I'll try to get him to see him as well
22:43I know what you're trying to do, Edith
23:05But it won't work
23:06You've had your chance
23:09It's my time now
23:11Excuse me?
23:14Stop clinging to Nolan
23:16I'm carrying his baby, Edith
23:20So get
23:22With
23:23The program
23:24He is still
23:27My husband
23:28Nancy
23:29And what do you think people would say
23:32If they knew the poor
23:33Grieving
23:35Widow
23:35Had been sleeping with
23:37My husband
23:38And is now carrying
23:40His child
23:41You bitch
23:42You wouldn't dare
23:43What's stopping me?
23:49No
23:50Edith
23:52Leave me alone
23:54Let go of me
23:55What have you done to my baby?
24:14He wouldn't even listen to me, Angie
24:17And the way he was looking at me
24:18Hey
24:19Hey
24:20Who cares what that piece of shit thinks about you?
24:22Okay
24:23If he wants to believe that psycho bitch
24:24Then they deserve each other
24:26Okay?
24:28What are you doing?
24:33What does it look like, huh?
24:36I'm staying at the fire station tonight
24:38I can't be here right now
24:40I think you need to cancel the literacy fundraiser tomorrow
24:51Okay?
24:52It's just, it's too much
24:53With all of this
24:54I can't
24:57Too many people are counting on me
24:59Okay
25:02Sure you're up for it
25:04Sure you're up for it
25:05It'll be good to
25:08Focus on helping other people
25:10I need to
25:11Get on with my life
25:13And
25:13Stop dreaming about Nolan
25:16Why would you ever say something like that about Edith
25:29Stay out of this
25:31You don't know all the facts
25:32I don't need to
25:33Edith would never attack Nancy
25:36Ever
25:37You're a drunk
25:40Do you have any idea how much you're hurting her?
25:43Back off
25:43Hey, hey, back off
25:44Both of you
25:45What are we dealing with?
26:05We've got a class A fire at the community center
26:07Charity, Ben
26:08No one
26:10Angie and Edith are there
26:13Angie and Edith are there
26:17Hey
26:22We good?
26:25Yeah
26:25Let's go
26:30Get low and cover your face
26:40No, what about you?
26:41I'll make sure everyone is out
26:43And I'll be right behind you
26:43Go
26:44Go
26:44Go
26:45Angie
26:48Angie
26:54Oh, thank God
26:58Edith is still in there, okay?
27:00She wouldn't leave until everyone else was out
27:01All right, go
27:03Come on
27:03Edith
27:03Edith
27:04Edith
27:08Edith
27:09Edith
27:09Edith
27:10Edith
27:11Edith
27:11Edith
27:12Edith
27:12Edith
27:13Edith
27:13Edith
27:14Edith
27:14Edith
27:15Edith
27:15Edith
27:16Edith
27:16Edith
27:17Edith
27:17Edith
27:18Edith
27:18Come on, can you hear me?
27:20Come on, please, Edith.
27:22Please, be okay.
27:24Please, be okay.
27:27She's still alive.
27:28Go.
27:33You're gonna be okay.
27:34All right.
27:48Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.
27:59You're okay.
28:00You're okay.
28:03How's your throat?
28:04I'm fine.
28:06Please leave me alone.
28:08Edith, you're in a fine room.
28:09You are the last person I want helping me.
28:18Hey, thank God you managed to save the books.
28:30I mean, it's taken Edith months to get all those donations together.
28:34When do you think we can have access to the building?
28:37Wait, Edith worked on a literacy fundraiser?
28:40Wait, why do you think we're here?
28:44It's Edith's project.
28:45You know, ever since she became a best-selling author,
28:49she's been donating her profits and using her profile to help people.
28:54Since when was Edith the bestseller?
28:58Of course you don't know.
29:02You know, I can't wait till she divorces your ass.
29:05You can spend the rest of your life realizing just how badly you fucked up.
29:15Uh, hey, uh, perfect timing.
29:21You know, uh, short stack coming right up.
29:27Maybe a slightly shorter stack.
29:34There's maple syrup and honey if you, uh...
29:37Sorry, I'm, I'm not hungry.
29:40Um, yeah, that's, that's okay.
29:44Just once, she wished he'd cook her her favorite pancakes for breakfast
30:04or buy her flowers for no reason.
30:07But she knew it was never going to happen
30:09because the only thing he had room for in his life was his work.
30:13What are these for?
30:20Um, no reason.
30:23These don't change anything.
30:26Am I a ghost in someone's body?
30:32Am I a voice inside your mind?
30:36I'm allergic to roses.
30:37And if I'm haunting you, I'm sorry.
30:41I'll haunt myself sometimes.
30:43If you keep dragging a song,
30:47then I'll keep dragging a song.
30:49Go find a way not to haunt someone.
30:55Have you seen my black jeans?
31:13You know, I can't find them anywhere.
31:15I don't know.
31:17I don't know.
31:25Oh, Jesus.
31:28I must have told something.
31:32Too much information.
31:33Aren't you cold?
31:40No.
31:40Why?
31:42What's bothering you?
31:45Are you fishing for compliments?
31:47No.
31:47Just wondering if you like what you see.
31:51What exactly do you want from me, Nolan?
31:52All right, look.
31:58With dad being sick and a divorce,
32:01it's just made me take another look at our marriage.
32:05And?
32:06And I think maybe if you give me a chance,
32:10maybe we could save it.
32:13Why would I give you another chance
32:15to ignore me for three years?
32:16I haven't even...
32:17I haven't even ordered you.
32:22We've already established
32:23you don't know my birthday.
32:24You didn't even know I was a best-selling author
32:26and want me to keep going?
32:27That wasn't deliberate.
32:28I was just focused on work.
32:30You agreed to marry me
32:31because your father gave you an ultimatum
32:33to either join the family business
32:34or get married.
32:35Then you blamed me for your own decision.
32:38Do you have any idea
32:39how lonely this marriage has been for me?
32:44No, you're right.
32:46I did blame you.
32:47That was wrong.
32:51It's just that I...
32:52I never wanted to get married.
32:55My parents pretty much hated each other
32:56and...
32:57I don't know, to me,
32:59it just seemed like a trap.
33:01We are not your parents, Nolan.
33:05I read your book.
33:06Yeah.
33:06And it was really good.
33:08Funny, romantic,
33:10and pretty sexy, too.
33:13You're not exactly the target market.
33:16I see a lot of you in it.
33:18I just...
33:18maybe wanted to get to know you even more.
33:21Look,
33:22I know I hurt you,
33:23but if you just give me a chance,
33:25I think we could have something really special here.
33:27I can't believe you're asking me to forget everything that you've done.
33:37No, not forget.
33:38Just forgive.
33:41Please, just give me a chance
33:42and I can make it up to you for everything.
33:45They say every story has a beginning.
34:00But...
34:01As a best-selling romance writer,
34:10I thought I knew everything about love,
34:12but I got it all wrong.
34:18There you are, Edith.
34:20I'm borrowing a husband for dinner again tonight.
34:25I hope you don't mind.
34:28Nolan is my husband, Nancy, not yours.
34:30He was just forced to marry you.
34:33If it's a choice between you or me,
34:34he's always going to pick me.
34:37Do you smell gas?
34:47Team leader, Nolan.
34:49Attend to victim in the corner.
34:51We'll take the rest.
34:53Nolan.
34:58I'm...
34:59I'm...
35:00I'm...
35:01I'm...
35:02I'm...
35:03I'm...
35:04I'm...
35:05I'm...
35:06I'm...
35:07I'm...
35:08I'm...
35:22I'm...
35:22I'm...
35:24I'm...
35:24I'm...
35:24This is your choice.
35:30Miss Blair?
35:33Mrs. Blair?
35:35You have me.
35:36have a concussion, we need your next
35:38akin to sign off on your discharge.
35:41Uh, I'll call
35:42my husband, Nolan Blair. He's a
35:44firefighter.
35:50You've called Nolan. Leave a message.
36:06It's almost time
36:09to wake up
36:12Almost time
36:16to face the
36:18morning
36:19Mrs. Blair.
36:22Mrs. Blair, come back!
36:23I'm afraid to wake up
36:25Afraid of losing
36:29what I've found
36:36What?
36:46I need to talk to you.
36:48Not now.
36:49What is so important that you can't talk to your own wife?
36:52You're a contract wife, not a real one.
36:54Don't call me at work again.
36:56Do I need to keep up asking
37:01When everything is over
37:05When everything is always passing
37:08And what if I don't know?
37:35If we're going to marry, we should know each other better.
37:42Either I marry you or keep up firefighting to join the family business.
37:46If we do this, it's a marriage you make only.
37:52No sex, no feelings, definitely no love.
37:57Do you understand?
37:59I understand.
38:00I know your family is bankrupt.
38:05But I don't expect you to go this far for money.
38:20You think I married you for your money, but
38:24I've loved you ever since I was a little girl, Nolan.
38:26I was waiting in the undertow.
38:41I was waiting in the undertow.
38:51Said I drifted fed away like boats.
38:56unaware of where my heart would thaw.
39:01I was waiting in the undertow.
39:06Can't touch the bottom.
39:09What are you doing?
39:24I want you to give me a child.
39:29I want to have your baby, Nolan.
39:39No, no.
39:40Contract wife is bad enough, huh?
39:42Now you want to restrict me even more with a child?
39:44We've been married for three years.
39:47Can't you spare me a little love?
39:50No love, no sex.
39:52Remember?
39:53Contract marriage is still a marriage.
39:55I'm your wife, Nolan.
39:56Oh my gosh, Edith, enough.
39:58Something happened today.
40:00I was at a cafe.
40:01Edith, I've spent a whole day
40:02dragging people out of a collapsed building.
40:04I know.
40:05Nancy was one of them.
40:06You and Nancy.
40:07Pike, I give a shit what you had for lunch.
40:16Of course you don't care about me or our contract marriage.
40:24Hey, Nolan.
40:25I didn't realize your wife was injured in the cafe explosion yesterday.
40:28What?
40:29Yeah, she's listed as one of the casualties.
40:32Is she okay?
40:34Something happened today.
40:36I was at a cafe.
40:37Nancy had to stay in the hospital overnight.
40:44I know she'd appreciate it as a friend.
40:46We're not really friends.
40:47Then do it to be kind, okay?
40:48Like you would with my father.
40:49Do you like her?
41:00Just do what I said, Edith.
41:03We're not really friends.
41:05Then do it to be kind, okay?
41:07Like you would my father.
41:10Do you like her?
41:14Just do what I said, Edith.
41:29How are you?
41:31Nolan asked me to visit.
41:33Oh, Edith.
41:36I'm glad you're here, actually.
41:40I think it's better that you hear it from me
41:44than from Nolan.
41:47I'm pregnant.
41:51Good morning, Mrs. Blair.
41:54Good morning.
41:56We've booked in all your scans and checkups.
41:59I hope your husband...
42:01Nolan can be there.
42:06Nolan isn't against having a child.
42:09He just doesn't want one with me.
42:11I don't know.
42:12I'm looking for our captain, Nolan Blair.
42:26He's just ducked out to go buy something,
42:28but he shouldn't be too much longer if you, uh...
42:30I can be the sad song when everything is going wrong.
42:35Even if it's just...
42:36If you want to wait around.
42:38Uh, I'm Frankie.
42:41Edith.
42:42You're not Nolan's wife, are you?
42:47It's me.
42:48Well, it's good to finally meet you.
42:51Yeah, I can understand why, uh...
42:52Nolan was keeping you to himself for so long.
42:54Smart guy.
42:57Hey, um...
42:57How about I give you a tour of the Phi house?
43:00Show you around a little bit while you wait?
43:01Yeah, so this is the kitchen.
43:05And...
43:06That brings us to the end of Frankie's tours.
43:09Make sure you leave me five stars on a TripAdvisor.
43:16Uh, Edith.
43:18What are you doing here?
43:19I saw you name the casualty list for yesterday.
43:22Were you at the cafe when it exploded, or...?
43:24I want a divorce.
43:28What?
43:29I don't know how to check it out.
43:32I don't know how to check it out.
