Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Our stock is being shorted aggressively. We're about to hit the limit down.
00:00:05What the hell is going on here?
00:00:07Half of you came from major investment banks.
00:00:10Our stock is about to crash, and you're telling me there's nothing we can do.
00:00:15Sir, this is a coordinated attack from multiple investment funds.
00:00:19They're shorting us simultaneously. There is nothing we can do.
00:00:23Sir, what are our next steps?
00:00:30Well, looks like Shepard Group might be bankrupt by lunchtime.
00:00:39Hey, this is a private meeting.
00:00:41Excuse me, ma'am. Could you hold on our cleaning for just a couple of minutes?
00:00:45Mr. Shepard, building a public company in just five years? That's impressive.
00:00:52But losing your cool over a little market turbulence? That seems out of character for you.
00:01:00Do I know you?
00:01:03Wait, what are you doing?
00:01:06What are you doing?
00:01:07You can't do this. You're just a cleaner.
00:01:09Don't be messing with our company funds.
00:01:12This is incredible!
00:01:14What's going on?
00:01:16The shorting attempt.
00:01:17It's failing!
00:01:18The price is holding!
00:01:21Boss, our stock price is reaching today's opening value.
00:01:25We met before.
00:01:28They're still cleaning to do Mr. Shepard.
00:01:31Hold on.
00:01:32Tell me, how could I ever repay you for this?
00:01:36If the opportunity ever arises, you could give your next contract for construction to Harrison Group.
00:01:45Jason?
00:01:46Can we have five now?
00:01:47Mr. Yates?
00:01:48What?
00:01:49Only two bodyguards this time?
00:01:50You're not going soft on me, are you?
00:01:51No, ma'am.
00:01:52I just thought you might like a scream today.
00:01:53Now listen, everyone is waiting in New York for you to claim your inheritance as CEO of the Laws Group.
00:02:06Uh, but Mr. Yates, you know that my investigations here aren't finished.
00:02:23Ma'am, I still don't understand why you've kept your identity a secret.
00:02:26And why you've married this Ben Harrison Fellow?
00:02:29What, look. Today is Ben's birthday.
00:02:31Anything we need to discuss, we can do it some other time.
00:02:35Ma'am, it really is time for you to accept your inheritance.
00:02:39Because what I want is a simple life with Ben.
00:02:44Ma'am, at least do me a favor and let Toby walk you up to the house.
00:02:49For my sake.
00:03:00Divorce papers. Sign it.
00:03:05You are not worthy of my son anymore.
00:03:13The Harrison Group is practically a local celebrity now.
00:03:15Especially since it's landed a $100 million contract.
00:03:19The Shepard Group.
00:03:20And you, you're just a cleaner.
00:03:24The truth is, Laura, I've wanted a divorce for a very long time.
00:03:28I need a wife who reflects my status.
00:03:30I secured that $100 million contract.
00:03:33Oh, you, a cleaning woman.
00:03:37Handing out million-dollar deals.
00:03:39Don't make me laugh.
00:03:41I did.
00:03:44It was my present to Ben for his birthday.
00:03:47I was the one who got Brian Harrison to give Ben that deal.
00:03:51What are you doing here?
00:03:53Clearly, Ben has found himself a woman more suitable for the Harrison family.
00:03:57Amber's family is practically local royalty.
00:03:59Local royalty.
00:04:00Local royalty.
00:04:02A small-town rich person is royalty.
00:04:05And what qualifications do you have to judge, Miss Cleaner?
00:04:08Your resume boasts supermarket cashier and dinner waitress alongside janitor.
00:04:12Doesn't it, Ben?
00:04:13What's going on?
00:04:17Is this why you want a divorce?
00:04:19Because of her?
00:04:21Oh, please.
00:04:22I've spent years building Harrison Group.
00:04:24You're still a cleaner.
00:04:26We just grew apart, that's all.
00:04:28Growing apart?
00:04:31No.
00:04:31No, no, I won't sign any agreement that...
00:04:36I won't sign...
00:04:39Money is a motivator, isn't it?
00:04:44Ben.
00:04:45All right.
00:04:47Here, $100,000.
00:04:49Open up a small shop or something like that.
00:04:51$100,000?
00:04:53I was the one that helped you make Harrison Group what it is today.
00:04:59Do you have any idea how much money I've brought in for you?
00:05:02Don't be ridiculous.
00:05:04You've never done anything for Ben's success.
00:05:07This is our active charity tool.
00:05:09Here.
00:05:10A million dollars.
00:05:11Take this.
00:05:12You just want more money, don't you?
00:05:14Just leave and never see Ben again.
00:05:18I never expected my three years of devotion to end like this.
00:05:24Since none of you respect me.
00:05:27A cleaning lady, threatening us.
00:05:30I'm so scared.
00:05:32Just leave.
00:05:34You already make this house stink.
00:05:42Thank God she's gone.
00:05:44Good riddance to her.
00:05:48Sir?
00:05:50Laura Lewis' information.
00:05:51She's Ben Harrison's wife.
00:05:57No wonder why she wants to partner with him.
00:05:59Actually, sir, Ben Harrison just divorced her.
00:06:03Divorce her?
00:06:05Wait a minute.
00:06:07Don't you remember?
00:06:09She's the one who helped us with the Smith contract three years ago.
00:06:12Yeah, she's saved our hiding now.
00:06:16Remember?
00:06:17Why would Ben Harrison dump someone who just got him a hundred million dollar contract?
00:06:23I don't know.
00:06:25Let's get to the bottom of this.
00:06:26Hey, what are you doing?
00:06:31Let go of me.
00:06:32You attacked Amber.
00:06:33Apologize this instant.
00:06:38Stealing from the Harrisons.
00:06:40We gave you a generous divorce settlement.
00:06:42You refused it.
00:06:43And now you're stealing.
00:06:45She couldn't afford it.
00:06:46You're a thief.
00:06:47That's mine.
00:06:55Give it back.
00:06:56That's enough.
00:06:59Laura.
00:07:00I want to say thank you properly for saving Shepard Group.
00:07:03It's really no worries, Mr. Shepard, but I'm just going through a divorce.
00:07:10You see, it's...
00:07:11Who are you?
00:07:12Laura's new squeeze.
00:07:14Excuse me.
00:07:15Do you know who I am?
00:07:16Is this true?
00:07:17You hooked up with this man while you were married to my son?
00:07:20Shame on you!
00:07:21Mr. Shepard, I...
00:07:22For your information, my name is Brian Shepard.
00:07:25I'm CEO of the Shepard Group.
00:07:28Oh, please.
00:07:29A big shot like Brian Shepard wouldn't be caught dead with a cleaner.
00:07:32You really don't recognize him, do you, Amber?
00:07:35That's really interesting considering I thought you were the one that secured that contract for Ben.
00:07:40That's ridiculous.
00:07:42He doesn't look like that.
00:07:44My ring.
00:07:45Jason, give it back to Mr. Lewis.
00:07:46Oh, hey, what are you doing?
00:07:51Laura, let's get you out of here.
00:07:53Now.
00:07:54Hold on a minute, Laura.
00:07:55Who the heck is this man?
00:07:56Have you been sneaking around?
00:07:58It's a lie, ma'am.
00:08:00This is none of your business.
00:08:01All rabbed dead bodies.
00:08:02You're not going anywhere until that's what you tell us what's going on.
00:08:06We are the Harrisons.
00:08:08You can't just waltz in here and take her.
00:08:10Harrison, compared to the Shepard Group, you're nobody.
00:08:13Now go back.
00:08:14What?
00:08:14Are you saying that is Brian Shepard?
00:08:17That's a lie.
00:08:17Don't you dare walk away from me, Laura.
00:08:20You come back here and explain yourself.
00:08:22Don't you take another step towards my son, Laura.
00:08:26Laura, does Ben even know you were the one who secured the 100 million deal?
00:08:31Let's just say that Ben underestimated me.
00:08:35I don't feel good about going through the signing event.
00:08:39After how they treated you, maybe we should cancel it?
00:08:43No.
00:08:44Um.
00:08:45No.
00:08:46The event will proceed.
00:08:48Besides, I'll be there.
00:08:53There's a lot that I don't know about you, Laura.
00:08:56Who are you, truly?
00:08:58You'll find out.
00:09:01Mr. Shepard.
00:09:02Um, can you pull up over here, please?
00:09:05Mr. Yates, I want you to call all of the Lewis Group's business partners,
00:09:14and we're going to have a meeting, an investment meeting, one week from today.
00:09:21Make sure everyone is there.
00:09:25Because after that meeting, I'm going to reclaim my place as the CEO of Lewis Group.
00:09:31Oh, excellent, Ms. Lewis.
00:09:33I'll start making arrangements tomorrow.
00:09:35Ben Harrison.
00:09:39You're going to know exactly what it feels like to lose everything.
00:09:43After this ceremony, the Harrison family will finally be considered Maplewood City royalty.
00:09:54Only after then, my darling, we can get married.
00:09:58Laura, what are you doing here?
00:10:00Security!
00:10:01Get that woman out of here!
00:10:02We don't need cleaners at this event!
00:10:04Why wouldn't I be here?
00:10:06This is a business event, after all.
00:10:09Business?
00:10:10You wouldn't know business if I hit you on the head.
00:10:13A fancy dress doesn't make you high society, honey.
00:10:16Just get out!
00:10:17Don't tell me you've come looking for another rich man to play mistress for.
00:10:20You should have taken my $100,000 offer.
00:10:22Oh, Ben.
00:10:23Do you really think that you can sign this contract without me?
00:10:26Oh, Laura, this is really important for me.
00:10:29Do not ruin this, okay?
00:10:31You don't belong here.
00:10:33Just get out!
00:10:34That's what you get.
00:10:45This contract is mine.
00:10:48To give or take away as I see fit.
00:10:52Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:53This is insane.
00:10:54Who do you think you are?
00:10:56Yeah, put that down.
00:10:57You have no idea what you're doing.
00:10:58Security!
00:10:59She's lost a mind!
00:11:01This is a disaster!
00:11:03Ben.
00:11:03This contract was supposed to be my birthday present to you,
00:11:07but since you clearly don't deserve it...
00:11:33You really think ripping up that contract is going to help?
00:11:39You're so silly, Laura.
00:11:40Oh, please, honey.
00:11:41You couldn't explain business to a cleaning lady.
00:11:44Security!
00:11:45Get this woman out of here before she makes another mess.
00:11:47I was the one that started this deal with the Shepherds.
00:11:51And after careful consideration,
00:11:53I don't think the Harrison family is worthy of working with the Shepherds.
00:11:59You really think that the Shepherds group and I could be torn up by something that you've done?
00:12:03You have no authority here.
00:12:06Of course she has the authority.
00:12:14That's the man that Laura went with the other day.
00:12:16What is he doing here?
00:12:17Mr. Shepard?
00:12:18How does he know her?
00:12:19Is that really Brian Shepard?
00:12:22Laura, are you alright?
00:12:23Mr. Shepard, I can assure you,
00:12:27I don't even know this woman.
00:12:28There must be some sort of misunderstanding.
00:12:31There's no misunderstanding here, Mr. Harrison.
00:12:33This contract with Shepard group
00:12:35is officially terminated.
00:12:38Effective immediately.
00:12:41Wait a minute.
00:12:42This contract, I thought you said you got it.
00:12:44It's her.
00:12:45She ruined the contract.
00:12:47You are his mistress, aren't you?
00:12:49An affair?
00:12:50She had an affair with that man
00:12:52behind my son's back?
00:12:54Mom, please, it's okay.
00:12:56This man is...
00:12:56Don't touch me.
00:12:58That woman destroyed your career in front of everyone,
00:13:01has an affair,
00:13:02and you just stand there?
00:13:03You're a disgrace.
00:13:05An adulterer.
00:13:05You deserve to be a...
00:13:06Shut up.
00:13:09Mr. Shepard, I apologize for this whole mess,
00:13:13but I can assure you,
00:13:14this woman has tricked you.
00:13:16Tricked?
00:13:17Why don't you answer a question yourself, Ben?
00:13:20What was my name before we got married?
00:13:25Laura Lewis, right?
00:13:27Lewis group?
00:13:29The financial giants?
00:13:31There's no way a Lewis is connected to this.
00:13:35That's crazy.
00:13:37There's no way you're related to the Lewis family name.
00:13:40That's absurd.
00:13:40It's...
00:13:41It's...
00:13:42It's...
00:13:43It's absurd!
00:13:45A high society heirs wouldn't waste their time in Maplewood.
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:49Yeah, it's a lie.
00:13:50It's a lie.
00:13:50This woman was a waitress when I met her.
00:13:53In fact, I saved her from a robbery three years ago.
00:13:57She's nothing special.
00:13:58She only married me out of gratitude.
00:14:00I was just a waitress.
00:14:03How convenient for your story, Ben.
00:14:05First time I met her, she was in need of waitress at the diner.
00:14:08Okay, listen up, everybody.
00:14:10When I met her, I'd only just started my business.
00:14:13Mm-hmm.
00:14:13Now look at me.
00:14:15I'm signing multi-million dollar contracts.
00:14:17And look at her.
00:14:18Still just a clear.
00:14:20Mr. Shepard, that woman is my son's ex-wife.
00:14:24She's doing all this out of spite.
00:14:26She's lying, Mr. Shepard.
00:14:28She's just a cleaning lady for your business, isn't she?
00:14:30Let's make something clear.
00:14:35I was the one behind Harrison Group's success.
00:14:40I used my resources to help my ex-husband,
00:14:44but all he saw me as was the maid.
00:14:46Don't lie.
00:14:47You were never good enough for Ben when you married him.
00:14:50Oops.
00:14:51That roof was built with lies.
00:14:54Kathy, you never respected me.
00:14:55And Ben, dumping me the second you thought you were successful on your own.
00:15:01And the cheating.
00:15:03I think you're blaming the wrong person.
00:15:07You were not good enough for Ben then,
00:15:08and you're certainly not good enough for him now.
00:15:11If you'd prefer to believe a liar's story,
00:15:15then the truth, Kathy.
00:15:17Consider this my resignation from the Harrisons.
00:15:21From everything.
00:15:22Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:15:27Laura, you think you can just walk in here and, you know, ruin everything?
00:15:30And then just walk out like nothing happened?
00:15:32I don't think so.
00:15:33You're a cleaner.
00:15:34You're a cleaner that cleans toilets.
00:15:36Nobody cares about you.
00:15:38Cleaning toilets or not, at least I have my self-respect.
00:15:43I don't need a fancy title
00:15:45or a rich husband to feel important.
00:15:48I think there has been some sort of misunderstanding.
00:15:54I think all jobs are important.
00:15:55Right, Mom?
00:15:56Ben, what are you doing?
00:15:58But I don't think that a janitor
00:16:00should have some sort of influence over a deal as big as this.
00:16:03A janitor.
00:16:04Well, why don't we ask Miss Smith
00:16:08exactly how she landed that collaboration with Shepard?
00:16:13You did claim to have been the one that secured the deal.
00:16:17Weren't you, Miss Smith?
00:16:19Mr. Shepard, it's all a lie.
00:16:21This woman, Laura,
00:16:23she's just a gold digger trying to trick you.
00:16:26I, but, well...
00:16:28A lie, you say?
00:16:29Miss Smith,
00:16:30I believe you mentioned securing this contract for Harrison Group.
00:16:34But I don't recognize you.
00:16:36Is this true, Miss Smith?
00:16:39Miss Lewis has helped me on several occasions.
00:16:43This contract was my way of showing my appreciation.
00:16:47But the contract...
00:16:49I mean, Laura tore it up.
00:16:50So can't we just print another one
00:16:53and get this signing ceremony underway?
00:16:55We print it, Mr. Harrison.
00:16:57Perhaps you haven't been paying attention.
00:16:59Without Miss Lewis involved,
00:17:02I wouldn't even consider
00:17:03partnering with your company.
00:17:08Today, I want to make it clear.
00:17:11Shepard Group has no plans
00:17:13to partner with Harrison Group in the future.
00:17:18Miss Smith, you lied to us.
00:17:21You destroyed everything.
00:17:23What?
00:17:23No, it's a misunderstanding.
00:17:25I can explain.
00:17:27Lewis?
00:17:28Lewis?
00:17:28This family group?
00:17:29This can't be.
00:17:31Believe what you want, Ben.
00:17:33Lewis Group will be holding
00:17:35a massive investment meeting later this week.
00:17:38Three of our vice presidents
00:17:41will be here in Maplewood.
00:17:43And I'm sure you can ask them
00:17:44if you still have any doubts
00:17:46about who I am.
00:17:50Everyone, listen to me.
00:17:52Shepard Group will not be partnering
00:17:54with Harrison.
00:17:55A man who can't keep his vows to his wife
00:17:59cannot be trusted
00:18:00to keep his word on a contract.
00:18:03The charade is over, Mr. Harrison.
00:18:06Everyone here deserves to see the truth.
00:18:10Miss Lewis?
00:18:12Shall we take this conversation elsewhere?
00:18:14Mr. Harrison, please tell us.
00:18:15I don't know.
00:18:16This is a secret.
00:18:20Help!
00:18:22Mom.
00:18:22Someone get a doctor!
00:18:24Mom.
00:18:24It seems your knight has taken quite the turn,
00:18:28Mr. Shepard.
00:18:30Indeed.
00:18:32Perhaps it's best to leave them to it.
00:18:34what what now mom this is not all on me not on you i was trying to help she cheated on you
00:18:54with shepherd flaunted their affair exactly and those dresses who could afford those on a janitor

00:30:52mixed up ian lewis mr lewis reassured me that today we would discuss well expansion plans
00:31:03expansion plans miss smith a decision like that wouldn't be taken without board approval
00:31:10and frankly we haven't heard anything about maplewood branch but ian lewis assured me that miss smith
00:31:18we have a very important guest arriving soon perhaps you'd like to schedule a follow-up meeting
00:31:22with one of our staff maybe i can stay for this guest and offer some miss smith we'd like you to leave

00:32:33amber smith she claimed your uncle appointed her general manager of a maplewood branch for the lewis
00:32:42group she said that did she well miss smith is a liar there is no maplewood branch at least not yet
00:32:49she lied so blatantly it was it's unbelievable but don't worry i found a much more suitable partner
00:32:59shepherd group shepherd crew their rise to a public company has been impressive

00:53:45foolishness chloe you have no right to talk to miss duke like that that's enough you don't get to talk
00:53:52here you got mad shepherd you dare to go against miss duke and the same applies to everyone else

01:15:46No, I'm okay.
01:15:47Tell me, Chloe, who put you up to this, Chloe?
01:15:56Why should I tell you?
01:15:57You're going to kill me anyway.
01:16:00Chloe, I don't have a problem with you.
01:16:02But if you don't talk,
01:16:05your beloved Duke Industries might run into some.
01:16:09Well, I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:13So the choice is yours, Chloe.
01:16:15Talk, or face the consequences.
01:16:18Fine.
01:16:19It was Ian Lewis.
01:16:21He said he'd help Duke Industries if I kept you away from the bankroom today.
01:16:25Did you get all of that, Mr. Yates?
01:16:29I'm recording everything, Miss Lewis.
01:16:31I owe every word, Miss Lewis.
01:16:36Are you ready to play a game, Brian?
01:16:38This is crazy.
01:16:50Are we really sure we can do this?
01:16:52All these big companies here, it's crazy.
01:16:54Absolutely.
01:16:55The Lewis Group is under new leadership.
01:16:57We can talk to the heiress herself.
01:17:00Exactly.
01:17:00We just need to make sure we make a good impression on the new heir.
01:17:04There's Ian Lewis now.
01:17:06He can introduce us.
01:17:07Let's go.
01:17:08Yeah.
01:17:08Hello, Ian Lewis.
01:17:12I'm Amber Smith.
01:17:12We spoke on the phone the other day.
01:17:14This is Ben Harrison from Harrison Group.
01:17:16How do you do?
01:17:17We're the company that...
01:17:18Yes, I know who you are.
01:17:20Miss Smith, you're the one who exposed Laura's little drama.
01:17:24Now, look, I'm not here for idle chatter.
01:17:30Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:32Can I ask you all to be seated, please?
01:17:35The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:17:38Tonight marks a new chapter in the life of the Lewis Group.
01:17:43A night where the rightful heir takes their place.
01:17:45Would you please join me in welcoming the heir to the Lewis Group, Miss Laura Lewis.
01:17:52Look, everybody, attention.
01:17:54Attention, please.
01:17:55There's been a recent development of some tragedy.
01:18:03I just got noticed from a phone call a couple of minutes ago that Laura has been in a car accident.
01:18:08And, tragically, she hasn't made it.
01:18:12She has not survived.
01:18:16What?
01:18:17Laura Lewis is dead?
01:18:20It doesn't matter now.
01:18:21She's gone.
01:18:22Mr. Lewis, is this new...
01:18:24A tragic turn of events, Mr. Yates.
01:18:26But rest assured, the Lewis Group will continue under my competent leadership.
01:18:32Hold on!
01:18:34Who said that I'm dead?
01:18:37Laura!
01:18:38I don't understand.
01:18:44What's happening?
01:18:46Laura?
01:18:47But, weren't you...
01:18:49My apologies for the delay, everyone.
01:18:52There seems to be some...
01:18:54misunderstanding.
01:18:55Laura, what are you doing here?
01:18:57You've got to stop this.
01:18:58If you upset the Lewis family anymore, we're all doomed.
01:19:01I said this once.
01:19:02Back off, then.
01:19:03Thank you for coming, everyone.
01:19:10As I'm sure you know, tonight...
01:19:14I officially reclaim my title as the CEO of Lewis Group.
01:19:20Uncle Ian.
01:19:20Perhaps you could make some room for me.
01:19:26Uncle Ian?
01:19:27Impossible.
01:19:28How are you still alive?
01:19:30Well, clearly I am alive and well.
01:19:32So, why don't we get this started?
01:19:34No.
01:19:35You're not the rightful heir.
01:19:38You gave that away when you married Ben Harrison.
01:19:42Uncle Ian, is that seriously your archbess that you have that I got married too quickly?
01:19:46Well, you went off to Maplewood three years ago and married a stranger and left me to work tirelessly, keeping the company together.
01:19:55Uncle Ian, retire.
01:19:57Enjoy your retirement.
01:19:59Lewis Group will be perfectly fine without you.
01:20:02No.
01:20:03There can only be one heir, and that's me.
01:20:07And the rightful heir has possession of this.
01:20:10You think a ring makes an heir?
01:20:14You're even more foolish than I could have ever imagined.
01:20:18Give that back to me.
01:20:20This?
01:20:21Yes.
01:20:21You think some shiny gold thing makes you the heir?
01:20:26Give it back.
01:20:27True leadership is about earning the respect of those around you.
01:20:34Not some stupid ring.
01:20:36Oh, my ring.
01:20:38What have you done?
01:20:38Where is it?
01:20:40My ring?
01:20:43Now, everyone, if I could have your attention.
01:20:47How dare you?
01:20:48Let me show you how a true heir earns a ring like that.
01:20:55Talk.
01:20:58Fine.
01:20:59It was Ian Lewis.
01:21:00He said he helped drinking distress if I kept you away from the bankers today.
01:21:07Oh, quite the spectacle, Mr Lewis.
01:21:10Security, escort him out.
01:21:13And Ian, don't fall over.
01:21:16It's all lies.
01:21:17It's all lies.
01:21:17Fakery.
01:21:18It's fake news.
01:21:18The proof is clear.
01:21:19Get him out of here.
01:21:20Now.
01:21:21I owe all of you an apology for everything that's happened tonight.
01:21:29It turns out reclaiming my birthright didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped.
01:21:34Luckily, these past few days, I've had Mr Shepard by my side, and he has been a great support.
01:21:47Lewis Group has a lot of exciting plans for Maplewood.
01:21:51And I'm proud to announce that we have secured a reliable partner.
01:22:01Shepard Group.
01:22:02What?
01:22:03Laura, hold on.
01:22:04This was never my idea.
01:22:06This was all Kathy and Amber's fault.
01:22:08I don't want a divorce.
01:22:09What?
01:22:10Ben, what are you saying?
01:22:11You came to me first.
01:22:12Classic Ben.
01:22:14Something goes wrong, and you start pointing the fingers at all the women in your life.
01:22:19Just don't shut Harrison Group out.
01:22:21Just give me another chance.
01:22:23How could I shut you out?
01:22:25I'm just a cleaner, remember?
01:22:27I'm just a useless housewife.
01:22:30I don't have that power.
01:22:33What are you talking about?
01:22:34What?
01:22:34No, come on.
01:22:34Sorry.
01:22:35No, please, no.
01:22:38Um, Mr Shepard?
01:22:40Yes, Miss Lewis?
01:22:40I was wondering if maybe you wanted to grab dinner sometime on me.
01:22:52Miss Lewis, I would love to.
01:23:10Miss Lewis, I would love to.
01:23:40Miss Lewis, I would love to.
01:23:41Miss Lewis, I would love to.
01:23:42Miss Lewis, I would love to.
