00:00:00Surrogacy? What's surrogacy?
00:00:02Harvard Business School.
00:00:04MBA. Top of class.
00:00:06As for...
00:00:08intimate matters,
00:00:11I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:00:15Three years I've loved him.
00:00:17Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:20But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:22I know he loves me.
00:00:30Oh my god!
00:00:34Three years I've wasted on you!
00:00:37I'm not gonna let you take this from me too.
00:00:39I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:00:42One appointment, one sperm donor,
00:00:44I can have a baby of my own.
00:00:49Understand this clearly.
00:00:51We'll be parents, nothing more.
00:00:58Surrogacy.
00:00:59Five generations of Crawford dignity
00:01:02destroyed by tabloid gossip.
00:01:06Adrian,
00:01:07I can make all of this disappear.
00:01:10Perfect couple, right?
00:01:11Until...
00:01:13All you have to do is remember
00:01:16who you really belong with.
00:01:19That's for every lie you just told.
00:01:21Your fault!
00:01:22You really plan to get rid of them.
00:01:26Get up!
00:01:27Three years.
00:01:37Three years I've loved him.
00:01:39Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:01:41That a man like him only loves himself.
00:01:43But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:01:47I know he loves me.
00:01:51Thank you so much.
00:01:52I really, really appreciate it.
00:01:55Tonight, it will be our big night.
00:01:58And I'll give him all of me.
00:02:01We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:02:03A family of our own.
00:02:05A family of our own.
00:02:18I'm so sorry.
00:02:24I'm so sorry.
00:02:26I don't know.
00:02:56I don't know.
00:03:26I don't know.
00:03:56I don't know.
00:03:58I don't know.
00:04:00I don't know.
00:04:01I'm going to put shit on you.
00:04:03God, I'm such an idiot.
00:04:05I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:04:07Baby?
00:04:08Sweetheart.
00:04:09You wouldn't even put out after three years and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:04:13Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:04:19these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:04:23Screw you.
00:04:36I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:04:38You know what? I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:04:46One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:04:59Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:05:05Everything I built over the last decade, gone.
00:05:09The surrogate candidates are all thorough with Ivy League educated,
00:05:14impeccable health histories.
00:05:15I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:05:17I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:05:20Find me someone who knows your place and will disappear after delivery.
00:05:24No!
00:05:42No!
00:05:42Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:06:09Oh, the interview, yes of course, please sit, right, um, let's get started, okay, um, education
00:06:37background.
00:06:39Excuse me?
00:06:40And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders, do you work out?
00:06:47I mean, you look acceptable.
00:06:54Do you have any idea who I am?
00:07:01I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:07:03It's about creating a healthy baby after all.
00:07:08Why are attractive men so full of themselves?
00:07:12I don't care if you're Brad Pitt, I need to know your reproductive history.
00:07:17So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:07:21Mr. Crofton, I can show her out.
00:07:25Thompson, leave us.
00:07:27What are you doing?
00:07:32Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:07:43Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:07:47No family history of genetic disorders.
00:07:49I work you out five times a week.
00:07:52As for intimate matters, I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:08:02Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:08:06Um, yes.
00:08:07Of course.
00:08:08We will.
00:08:09I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:08:18Um, I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:08:24You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:08:27Good.
00:08:28Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:08:33Well, I was thinking around eight hundred dollars.
00:08:39Eight hundred.
00:08:41I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:08:46I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but considering the quality, I could, I can help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:08:55Talk to me.
00:08:56Bring in the contracts.
00:08:58All of this?
00:08:59Seriously?
00:09:00Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:09:15No contact.
00:09:17You want to keep my baby?
00:09:19Are you insane?
00:09:21That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:09:28Surrogacy?
00:09:29Surrogacy.
00:09:30The position you're interviewing for.
00:09:33Interview?
00:09:34I'm hated by sperm.
00:09:36You came to what?
00:09:38I thought you were a donor.
00:09:40That's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:09:44I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:09:48Right.
00:09:49Um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:09:54Wait!
00:09:55A million dollars.
00:10:00For carrying my child.
00:10:02I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:10:09Ah, you might need that.
00:10:12Clean this up.
00:10:13Bring in the next.

00:10:35Okay, I'm coming.
00:10:57Doctor, how is he? How is my father?
00:11:00The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:11:03Then do something. Save him.
00:11:07Is there a treatment you can do?
00:11:09There is a new treatment.
00:11:11Okay, then let's do it.
00:11:13But maybe it's quite expensive.
00:11:15How much?
00:11:16Around one million dollars.
00:11:18A million dollars?
00:11:20Yes.
00:11:21Can I get a loan or something?
00:11:25Actually, this is a new technology.
00:11:26And there is no loan policy. Sorry.

00:19:44Lila, wake up!
00:19:51Lila, please!
00:19:56Lila, please!
00:19:58Lila, please!
00:20:00Lila, please!
00:20:01Lila, please!
00:20:02Lila, please!
00:20:04Lila, please!
00:20:06I am not owning him!
00:20:14Burn out of troubadour and panic!
00:20:20Sorry, didn't see you there.
00:20:40You're always in the way.
00:20:44Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:20:48Mrs. Crawford.
00:20:50Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:20:54Helen, tea, please.
00:20:57Yes, Mrs. Crawford?
00:21:01So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:21:05Through mutual friends.
00:21:08Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:21:13Dear, what friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:21:21Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:21:25I'm sorry?
00:21:26Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:21:32The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:21:46Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:21:52I'd be honored.
00:21:55Hmm. Perfect. I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:22:03You can go now.
00:22:05Excuse me, Miss Ri. I need to clean.
00:22:18Of course. Let me just move this.
00:22:20Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:22:27How creative.
00:22:31Must be hard in your family.
00:22:33Watching you chase after rich men.
00:22:36Let me help you with this.
00:22:38My friends!
00:22:40How clumsy of me.
00:22:42You did that on purpose.
00:22:44Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:22:46She was just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:22:54Mr. Crawford!
00:22:55She just attacked me!
00:22:59I was trying to help with the-
00:23:00Get out!
00:23:01But I was just-
00:23:02One more word and you're fired.
00:23:05Get out!
00:23:14What happened?
00:23:15Nothing.
00:23:17I need some space.
00:23:18I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:23:19Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:23:21I need some space.
00:23:25You take the bed.
00:23:26I'll take the sofa.
00:23:29I miss you so much, Daddy.
00:23:31Don't worry about me, okay?
00:23:33As long as we can get you better,
00:23:35I won't let their words get to me.
00:23:37I promise.
00:23:39Lila, what happened?
00:23:41What should I do?
00:23:42What should I do?
00:23:55How's the happy couple?
00:23:56Oh, that's awkward.
00:23:57Just a small thing.
00:23:58Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:23:59It's okay.
00:24:00I'm here.
00:24:01You're safe.
00:24:02You're safe.
00:24:03Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:04Perfect timing for the injection.
00:24:10Shhh.
00:24:11Shhh.
00:24:12Shhh.
00:24:13Shhh.
00:24:14Shhh.
00:24:15Shhh.
00:24:36Shhh.
00:24:38Shhh.
00:24:39Shhh.
00:24:40Shhh.
00:24:42Shhh.
00:24:44Focus, this is just a simple medical procedure, just pretending she's not right outside the
00:25:14door.
00:25:15Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:25:21Yeah, I'm fine.
00:25:23I just need some assistance.
00:25:26Oh, do you need my help?
00:25:28No, I didn't mean...
00:25:30Sure, honestly, it's fine.
00:25:31I can come in if you need me to.
00:25:35Come in.
00:25:44So, you want to help?
00:25:48Of course.
00:25:49What do you need me to...
00:25:51Oh, you're...
00:25:55Oh, you're...
00:25:57I'm so sorry.
00:25:58I didn't realize.
00:25:59I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:26:03I just need you.
00:26:05Somewhere very far.
00:26:07Well, that was helpful.
00:26:14Are you okay?
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:26:22It's causing you pain.
00:26:23Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable, but I mean, it will pass.
00:26:28Oh.
00:26:29Here.
00:26:30Oh.
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:32Thanks.
00:26:33Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically
00:26:55a work-related issue, and as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:02Purely professional care.
00:27:30Uh?
00:27:31Mm-hm.
00:27:32Purely professional, huh?
00:27:33Mm-hm.
00:27:34Mm-hm.
00:27:35Mm-hm.
00:27:36Mm-hm.
00:27:37Mm-hm.
00:27:38Mm-hm.
00:27:39Mm-hm.
00:27:40Mm-hm.
00:27:41Mm-hm.
00:27:42Mm-hm.
00:27:43Mm-hm.
00:27:44Mm-hm.
00:27:45Mm-hm.
00:27:46Mm-hm.
00:27:47Mm-hm.
00:27:48Mm-hm.
00:27:49Adrian.
00:27:50Uh...
00:27:51Um, about this weekend...
00:27:53I'm sorry.
00:27:54There's an emergency in Atlanta.
00:27:56The-the merge is falling apart.
00:27:57The merge is falling apart.
00:27:59Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:28:03Your family invited me to dinner.
00:28:05Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:28:11Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her life.
00:28:18I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter.
00:28:23I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from God knows where.
00:28:27What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:28:31Worse. A wannabe writer.
00:28:34She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:28:41Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:28:44I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:28:47She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:28:57I apologize for the slight delay.
00:29:07My, my.
00:29:09Trying so hard to look the part.
00:29:12James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:29:16I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:29:20And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:29:24Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:29:27Oh, darling.
00:29:32Woo.
00:29:33A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:29:35How quaint.
00:29:39At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian socks.
00:29:43I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:50Integrity.
00:29:52Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:29:58How much?
00:30:00How much will it take you to disappear?
00:30:03Name your price.
00:30:06The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford,
00:30:10is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:30:14Excuse me.
00:30:20Stay calm.
00:30:27You can do this.
00:30:33Getting all dressed up for me, baby.
00:30:43What's the rush?
00:30:45We're all family here.
00:30:47Well, almost family.
00:30:49Don't touch me.
00:30:51You used to like it when I touched you.
00:30:54Remember how shy you were?
00:30:56Always saying no.
00:30:58Land off me, baby!
00:31:00Careful, Mel.
00:31:02One scream from you, and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:31:08Now, where were we?
00:31:11Ow!
00:31:12Everything all right, dear?
00:31:20You look flushed.
00:31:22So, as I was saying about...
00:31:25Stop it!
00:31:30Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:31:31No, I just...
00:31:33Stop it!
00:31:34Enough.
00:31:38No class?
00:31:39No manners?
00:31:40I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:31:43but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family.
00:31:48I...
00:31:48I'm the one who pursued her.
00:31:56Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:32:01Adrienne.
00:32:02If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:32:05You want to know how we met?
00:32:07She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:32:09Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:32:11Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:32:17She, uh, refused me several times.
00:32:20Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:32:22First woman who dared to stand out to me,
00:32:25and that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:32:27I remember.
00:32:28Sir, two things.
00:32:33Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner,
00:32:36and your jet is ready.
00:32:37We can go now.
00:32:43Cancel it, Lance.
00:32:44I said, a merger...
00:32:46Yes, sir.
00:32:50Funny that last week family's dinners were
00:32:52the most pointless waste of time in existence.
00:32:58Something's more important than business.
00:33:04Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:33:08Too bad it's either a complete lie,
00:33:11or she's been playing us both.
00:33:14What are you talking about?
00:33:16We've been dating for three years.
00:33:19I have pictures of us together.
00:33:21She probably planned this from the start.
00:33:29Dating me to get close to the family,
00:33:32then setting her sights higher.
00:33:34You manipulative little trick.
00:33:36Face it, Uncle.
00:33:37You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:42Face it, Uncle.
00:33:44You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:33:47That's for every lie you just told.
00:33:57Adrian!
00:33:57How dare you hit my son!
00:33:59Where do you think you're going?
00:34:00We are not finished here yet!
00:34:02Yes, we are.
00:34:08I'm sorry.
00:34:09I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:34:10Thank you for coming back
00:34:12and for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:34:20Your hands, what happened?
00:34:22As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:34:41I expect you to use them.
00:34:43I didn't want to presume.
00:34:45You're a Crawford now.
00:34:46Mr. Crawford, the embryos are ready,
00:35:01so we can proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:35:05I see.
00:35:08What is it?
00:35:09Is something wrong with the embryos?
00:35:11I've been thinking.
00:35:12Perhaps we should approach this matter
00:35:16in a more natural manner
00:35:19between the husband and wife.
00:35:25What are your thoughts?
00:35:28I think that we should go to bed.
00:35:32We have a really big day tomorrow.
00:35:35So, I mean, goodnight.
00:35:39You know, you look like a giant polar bear
00:35:47in that outfit.
00:35:49Focus on the procedure.
00:35:53Try to relax, Mrs. Crawford.
00:36:01There.
00:36:03See that white spot?
00:36:06That's our baby.
00:36:09You know, I can walk.
00:36:15Doctor's orders?
00:36:16You seem more nervous than I do.
00:36:23I'm merely following medical pursuit.
00:36:34Look at her.
00:36:36She's acting like a priest.
00:36:38She was probably a waitress last week.
00:36:44Now she's got Mr. Crawford
00:36:46wrapped around her finger.
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:56I'm sorry.
00:36:57I'm sorry.
00:36:58Oh.

00:48:45I apologize about last night.
00:48:47I was just worried about you.
00:48:50Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:48:57What do you mean?
00:48:58Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:49:02Making me breakfast, being all protective.
00:49:04It's just for the baby.
00:49:09Leila, you've been so strange since yesterday. Why?
00:49:14Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:49:21Yes.
00:49:28And then she got with Ethan?
00:49:33Yes.
00:49:34Okay, so I'm just...
00:49:37And Vivian and I were...
00:49:38Sir, the single version is falling apart.
00:49:46We need you immediately.
00:49:47I'm in the middle of summer.
00:49:49The board is threatening to pull out.
00:49:52I'll be there.
00:49:53We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:50:02Of course.
00:50:03Business first.
00:50:03I'll be there.
00:50:05I'll be there.
00:50:05I'll be there.
00:50:06I'll be there.
00:50:06I'll be there.
00:50:07I'll be there.
00:50:08I'll be there.
00:50:09Lila.
00:50:10Just go.
00:50:22Sir, there have been complications.
00:50:24Explain.
00:50:25During her absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members, suggesting her sudden marriage
00:50:32plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:50:35Several executives are questioning if someone so personally distracted should inherit the company.
00:50:43Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:51:03Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:51:08This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:51:18Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:51:21Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:51:29So yes, I am getting married.
00:51:32And yes, I took some time off.
00:51:34And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:51:42Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:51:48Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:52:04Is it not a single person in court?
00:52:12There's an illness from the other is
00:52:19Really, not a single person.
00:52:21On a single person, just a single person.
00:52:25I was not a single person.
00:52:26And I took an assistant until now.
00:52:29I looked at LLC, I was like, off a exertion, I got involved.
00:52:34Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:52:40I was doing my job.
00:52:41Your job is to follow the family strategy.
00:52:46Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:52:52You leave Lila out of this.
00:52:54You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:52:57Yeah, run along.
00:52:59Adolfs are talking business now.
00:53:01We just need to bore him for a moment, dear.
00:53:04Business matters.
00:53:06You wouldn't understand.
00:53:13That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:53:23She's nothing but a broodmare.
00:53:26After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:53:31Adrian needs someone who understands this world.
00:53:34Someone like me.
00:53:37Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow.
00:53:41Non-negotiable.
00:53:43She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:53:46And your little pet project can't stay home and just state that's all she's good for.
00:53:51Get out!
00:53:55Both of you!
00:53:56How dare you!
00:53:57If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you get to touch it.
00:54:04Adrian, be reasonable.
00:54:06Oh, she's worth a thousand of you.
00:54:09Tomorrow, 9am.
00:54:12Vivian starts.
00:54:14No discussion.
00:54:16Is that all?
00:54:18Yes, for now.
00:54:20But don't disappoint me again.
00:54:21I don't know.
00:54:22You, you, you, you, you love me, you.
00:54:39Stop it! Stop checking! This is ridiculous!
00:55:03I was independent before. I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed and to hold me whilst I sleep.
00:55:12No! I'm not gonna be that girl. I can make my own meals.
00:55:21I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:55:28Improved marrow. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:55:39Lilo! I'm fine!
00:55:43You're not fine. Hospital, now!
00:55:45I'm fine!
00:55:58Thanks. I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:56:07You know, you used to look at me like that. All sweet. Sincere.
00:56:14Don't.
00:56:16Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:56:19Ethan!
00:56:22Lilo, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better than that.
00:56:32Adrian, stop! What are you doing?
00:56:36Protecting you.
00:56:37From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:56:40So now you're defending him? No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes... I guess people surprise you.
00:56:48I see.
00:56:51Adrian...
00:56:53I'll call the doctor to come.
00:56:55I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:57:03Sir, it's just the morning. Come.
00:57:05I want a full prenatal checkup.
00:57:07I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10 minutes.
00:57:11Always so controlled. Aren't you, Uncle?
00:57:15Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:57:20Remember our beach dates?
00:57:22How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:57:31Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:57:34Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:57:38Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:57:41I don't think that I did say...
00:57:43How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:57:45Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:57:50She likes to watch it when she's feeling stressed.
00:57:52Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:57:55To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:57:59You did what?
00:58:00Wow!
00:58:03Using money to get to her heart.
00:58:05Huh, Uncle?
00:58:06Not Uncle.
00:58:11Ooh, the Alzheimer's Wing is fully renovated.
00:58:13Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:58:15As she mentioned.
00:58:17Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:58:20Anonymous donor.
00:58:26He may be able to offer you money,
00:58:27but you're gonna miss this.
00:58:42Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:58:46Just my mouth.
00:58:49I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:58:50They should arrive shortly.
00:58:52They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:58:55Wow.
00:58:56He remembered all that about me.
00:58:58I remember everything about you.
00:59:04Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:59:10Guys, she's tired. We should leave. Let her rest.
00:59:22Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:59:25Or does he actually care?
00:59:26Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
00:59:44Yes, father?
00:59:45Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:59:47Overwork, they say.
00:59:49From cleaning up your company's mess.
00:59:51I have meetings.
00:59:52Cancel them.
00:59:54Go to visit her right now.
00:59:57Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you,
01:00:00or else I will have to call an emergency board meeting.
01:00:04You came.
01:00:05Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
01:00:06Still so cold.
01:00:10Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
01:00:11That was a long time ago.
01:00:13We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:14We could be together again.
01:00:15I don't know what game you're playing at, but it was a long time ago.
01:00:16We were really great together, Adrian.
01:00:17We could be together again.
01:00:18I don't know what game you're playing at, but it was a long time ago.
01:00:19What we had, I never took it as seriously as you were.
01:00:21No, not bad.
01:00:22What?
01:00:23That's no problem.
01:00:24No.
01:00:25What's that?
01:00:26We're not a little...
01:00:27What?
01:00:28Well, we're right at thegamey.
01:00:29It's a long time ago.
01:00:30You came.
