Short filmTranscript
00:00You're always so mean to him.
00:01It's because I care about you, Lil.
00:03You're a bad-ass boss, and Kevin, no offense, is an absolute bum.
00:08He's like the before picture of an Ambien commercial.
00:12Oh, my God.
00:13Seriously, why do you stay with him?
00:21He wasn't always like this.
00:23When we first met, he was confident and charming,
00:27and I don't know what happened,
00:29but I just feel like if I stay with him long enough,
00:33he might actually find himself again.
00:36For their entire marriage, Kevin had searched for a way to tell Lily
00:39he was actually the son of one of the oldest and wealthiest families
00:42in the entire country.
00:47You fool!
00:49You've wasted your entire inheritance!
00:53What?
00:54You're out of the family!
00:57Out?
00:59What the hell is a Ryan coin?
01:02I don't want to talk about this anymore.
01:04I just spent my whole day putting out fires at work.
01:06We got a new contract last month,
01:08and there was an error in some of the data,
01:12and now we owe the client $7 million.
01:16Someone offered to step in and give us the three,
01:18but I still need to find the other $4 million by the end of the week,
01:22or the whole company goes out of business.
01:24Oh, my God.
01:26How are you going to find $4 million in one week?
01:29Kevin wanted to tell Lily that he'd just recently come into some cash.
01:32Dude, you're rich!
01:35What?
01:35Bro, check your old crypto wallet.
01:37A Ryan coin is off the chart.
01:40Hey, I don't mean to eavesdrop,
01:43but you mentioned that your company would need $4 million.
01:46I can help.
01:48You?
01:50Kevin, who's been living off his wife for the past two years?
01:53She needs help. I can—
01:54Are you delusional, or—
01:56You don't believe me.
01:57Kevin.
01:59Babe, listen.
02:00As much as I appreciate it,
02:02you offering to help with the $4 million?
02:05How is that even possible?
02:06You haven't worked since we've been married.
02:08Unless you're hiding something from me?
02:14What is it, Kev?
02:18All right.
02:19Rach, stay as long as you like.
02:22I'm going to bed.
02:25Sleep on the couch tonight.
02:26Okay.
02:32What?
02:35I don't know.
02:36Just the tragedy of a queen like her
02:38being chained to a guy like you.
02:46Jesus!
02:47Have you been playing video games all night?
02:49What is wrong with you?
02:50Oh, I don't know what my daughter sees in you.
02:53I'm using the car to run some errands.
02:54Why don't you do something useful for once
02:56and drop your wife off at work?
02:58On it, ma'am.
03:02Crazy old lady.
03:08Hey, Lil, you ready to go?
03:10Sorry, I'm running a bit behind.
03:13Your mom's taking the car.
03:16What?
03:17We have to take the bike.
03:19Okay.
03:25Have a good day, babe.
03:27For the ride.
03:28Of course.
03:29Lily!
03:30Hi, Bradley!
03:31Hi.
03:32So?
03:33I got you a little gift.
03:34What?
03:35You didn't have to do that.
03:37Yeah, Bradley.
03:38You really shouldn't.
03:40Oh.
03:41That's a...
03:42Come on.
03:43Let me put it on you.
03:44No, no.
03:45It's too much.
03:46I insist.
03:49I'll do it.
03:51Her husband will put it on her.
03:55Okay.
03:56Be careful with that.
03:57It's a Dreamlovers.
04:01No!
04:03Oops.
04:05What the hell, Kev?
04:07It's a fake.
04:08Dreamlovers necklaces cost a small country's GDP.
04:11And there's only ten of them in the entire world.
04:13So?
04:14How could you?
04:15It slipped.
04:16Bradley, you lied?
04:17I didn't lie to you.
04:18It's an exact replica.
04:19It cost me a hundred grand.
04:21Oh, my God.
04:22Now, I am so sorry, Bradley.
04:24I'm so sorry, Bradley.
04:26I know how much you admired those necklaces.
04:28And you've been working so hard.
04:30I thought you deserved something special.
04:32Bradley, I'm sure this really was a mistake.
04:34Right, Kev?
04:35What she deserves is a real one.
04:37Not some douchebag's knockoff.
04:39Okay.
04:40Whoa, whoa.
04:41Stop.
04:42I need you to apologize to Bradley right now.
04:44He's a representative at Williams Media.
04:46Remember?
04:47The seven million that we owned and someone stepped in.
04:49So now we only own four.
04:50His company is providing the rest.
04:54Please, Kevin.
05:00Sorry, I broke the necklace.
05:02What was that?
05:04No, I didn't hear you.
05:09Please forgive me.
05:14Apology accepted.
05:16All right.
05:18I'm going to work.
05:19See you at the meeting?
05:24I know what you're trying to do.
05:26It's not going to work.
05:28Stay away from my wife.
05:30I buy her expensive gifts, not you.
05:32Honestly, I feel bad for her.
05:34She'll never have anything nice with you around.
05:38Get out of my way.
05:42You can't even afford a car.
05:44Kevin was more resolved than ever to become the man Lily wanted him to be.
05:47But before he could take care of Bradley,
05:49he had to pay a price.
05:51Before he could take care of Bradley,
05:53he had to pay a visit to someone from his past.
05:57Williams Manor.
05:59Home sweet home.
06:04Kevin?
06:05My grandchild.
06:08Let's skip the formalities, shall we?
06:11I thought about it and I'll hear you out on two conditions.
06:15Number one, by six o'clock this evening,
06:19you will get me an authentic dream lover's necklace.
06:23Dream lover?
06:27I don't care how.
06:29I just want to deliver it to my wife in secret.
06:31And number two,
06:33you're going to fire one of your board members.
06:35Bradley something.
06:39So how much do you need?
06:41Not a whole lot.
06:43Only around eight billion dollars.
06:45Eight billion? That's not a lot.
06:47I was kicked out for way less.
06:49Would you like for me to grovel, boy?
06:51It's not going to happen.
06:57Is it done?
07:03Your demands have been met.
07:05Now make the call.
07:07You will help us, won't you?
07:09You really think I have eight billion dollars?
07:11Don't play dumb.
07:14The stock you own is currently worth 9.6 billion dollars.
07:18A number that is rising as we speak.
07:21Remember, you are a Williams too.
07:24This is your legacy on the line.
07:27My legacy?
07:29Were you worried about my legacy when you kicked me out two years ago?
07:32You know I'm married, right?
07:34I am aware.
07:36You know, I got engaged
07:38the day before you decided to exile me.
07:42You know that? I have a new family now.
07:44And I'm not just going to kick them out on their butts
07:47just to have your loyalty.
07:49You left me for dead.
07:51So give me one good reason why I should bring you back to life.
07:56I'll help you build your empire.
07:59You want to be a man again, boy?
08:02You will be the most successful Williams family member to date.
08:12Wealthier than God.
08:14Williams Media is our most profitable and high profile company.
08:18The largest and most successful entertainment company in America.
08:22Think of all the celebrities we've signed.
08:24All that influence that will be loyal to your name.
08:28You'll start tomorrow as the chief executive in charge.
08:31You will have a company and a purpose.
08:35What say you?
08:42Kevin's life was about to change.
08:44Once and for all.
08:46He couldn't believe this was really happening.
08:48It was now or never.
08:52My bike!
08:54What the hell is wrong with you?
09:01Look at my dress!
09:04Why the heck would you park that right there?
09:06I don't know.
09:09Look at my dress!
09:11Why the heck would you park that right there?
09:13Brittany?
09:14Kevin?
09:15Are you the new security guard or something?
09:17What? No!
09:18Look at my dress.
09:20I have a very important meeting today and you ruined it!
09:22I just had it resized!
09:24You just destroyed my bike!
09:26Anyone hurt? Brittany Davis.
09:28Big fan.
09:30I didn't realize you were coming to sign your contract already.
09:32I was on my way in and then all of this happened.
09:35What are you going to do about it?
09:37Who said that you could ride this thing in here?
09:39Who said that I couldn't?
09:41Besides, she hit me.
09:46Mr. Martin.
09:48Is this what you call security?
09:50Because I don't think it's a very good reflection on your company.
09:52Rest assured.
09:54I definitely won't allow someone like him to keep working here.
09:56Kevin glanced at the man's nameplate.
09:58A production assistant thinks he could fire another employee at will.
10:02Oh, so you're going to fire me?
10:04And what makes you an assistant?
10:07Think that you can fire me?
10:09Okay, I'm very much so over this.
10:11I'm calling your manager.
10:13Go ahead. Please. Let's see what happens.
10:15Hey, you're kidding, right?
10:17Get out of here!
10:19Oof.
10:21You know what?
10:23I think I'm going to stay right here.
10:25I said leave.
10:27You are going to regret this.
10:29What the hell is going on here?
10:31Everybody!
10:33The new security guard made me spill my drink and he's refusing to pay for damages.
10:35You what?
10:37I was just handling it.
10:39I've heard enough.
10:41Apologize right now or your first day will be your last day here.
10:43You three are about to feel very stupid.
10:45You will apologize to my niece
10:47or you'll be facing criminal charges
10:49on top of losing your job.
10:51Yeah, just keep piling it on.
11:05Ah, perfect timing.
11:07Mrs. Wilson.
11:09Sorry, sir.
11:11I went to get the new quarterly reports
11:13and I lost track of time.
11:15I hope you can forgive me.
11:17No forgiveness needed.
11:19Uh, excuse me, Mrs. Wilson.
11:21Do you know this man?
11:23Of course.
11:25Why wouldn't I know the new CEO?
11:28Uh, AC's on the fritz.
11:30That for me?
11:32Nope.
11:34Why are you staring at me?
11:36Hey, Lil, do you still need someone to cover that $4 million?
11:38Yeah.
11:40Wow, Kev.
11:42Way to rub it in.
11:44And remember when I tried to talk to you about it yesterday
11:46and you shot me down?
11:48Mm-hmm.
11:50Yeah, because it was silly of me
11:52and I didn't know what to do.
11:54I'm sorry.
11:56Yeah, because it was silly and...
11:58You're gonna call me boss when I prove you wrong.
12:04Sure, okay.
12:06And when you can't conjure up $4 million
12:08from the void, you're gonna call me
12:10mistress.
12:12You okay, sweetie?
12:14What is happening?
12:16Well, I wanted to surprise you, but
12:18I guess now's a good time.
12:20Oh, what are you gonna do, Kev? Pull money out of your butt?
12:22What is this?
12:25Is that a toy?
12:27It's a card reader.
12:29Okay.
12:31I pinned your birthday.
12:35What?
12:37What is it?
12:39Come on.
12:41Get ready to call me boss, missy.
12:54You
