00:00Hey, it's okay, it's alright.
00:02I'm a woman, not a man.
00:04No.
00:05Mr. Stewart, I had a look at Ms. Brown's sample.
00:08She's been drugged.
00:10Oh, figures.
00:14Hey, hey.
00:15Hey, awesome.
00:21Hey, hey.
00:22Hey, hey.
00:23Hey, awesome.
00:27Mr. Stewart.
00:29Um, I'll go start that background check.
00:32Call me if you need anything.
00:33Sure, thanks.
00:38Eliza.
00:39Hey, hey.
00:40I think we should get a doctor.
00:41No, please.
00:44Please don't leave.
00:47My fiancé did.
00:49Okay, okay.
00:54Eliza, we really shouldn't be doing this.
00:56We shouldn't be doing this.
00:57You've been drugged.
00:58You're not yourself, okay?
00:59It's not you, it's...
01:01Maybe we can pick this up some other time.
01:03You're beautiful, it's...
01:04Alright.
01:07Eliza?
01:09Oh, Eliza.
01:12You're kidding me.
01:23Okay, you get some rest.
01:27Okay.
01:31Mr. Stewart, I hope I'm not intruding.
01:33I found out something about Miss Brown.
01:38Mr. Stewart, I hope I'm not intruding.
01:40I found out something about Miss Brown.
01:42What have you found?
01:43Miss Brown is an adoptee.
01:45She lived in an orphanage before she was taken in by a family in the rural town of Arizona.
01:50What about the necklace?
01:51It's a replica that was sold in Costco a few years ago.
01:56Look further into the orphanage.
01:58I'm not giving up yet.
02:21Hey, hey.
02:22Hey, awesome.
02:26Oh my god.
02:27Did I just sleep with the man I just met?
02:32Oh my god.
02:33Did I just sleep with the man I just met?
02:40Good morning.
02:42I assumed you would be starving.
02:50Something the matter?
02:52Mr. Stewart, about last night.
02:57About the part where I saved you?
03:01Thank you for that.
03:04No, I...
03:06Did we...
03:07Did we what?
03:09I'm guessing we slept together.
03:10I'm so sorry, that was a mistake.
03:12I was really drunk.
03:14Drunk?
03:15A drunken mistake?
03:17Well, I guess it wasn't as special to you as it was to me then, huh?
03:21I'm fucking with you.
03:22No, we didn't sleep together.
03:24I'm...
03:25I'm wearing your shirt.
03:27Yeah, Mary put it on you.
03:28I don't own any women's clothes, so she used one of mine.
03:32Looks good.
03:33Oh.
03:36I'm sorry.
03:38Thank you so much, Mr. Stewart.
03:42Alexander, please.
03:43I mean, we are not strangers anymore, right?
03:46Cheated anonymous?
03:48I don't know how I could repay you, Alexander.
03:53There is something you could do.
03:55Oh, what is it?
03:57Have you got a role for me, Mr. DeMille?
03:59Kind of.
04:02Will you marry me?
04:05Will you marry me?
04:08What?
04:09Oh, like an acting role for the tabloids?
04:12You're an actress, right?
04:13Yeah, but you have a fiancé.
04:17Naomi?
04:18Well, we're done.
04:20That marriage was never going to happen.
04:21It was just something that my mother forced me into for years.
04:23It was...
04:25What, like a contract marriage?
04:28Yeah, I know it sounds absurd.
04:30You know, Naomi is the daughter of John Windsor, who is the president of Rushmore Pictures,
04:34and if I married her, it would have made the acquisition of Foxtrot Pictures easier, and it was...
04:39Yeah.
04:41But look, it's a meanie role.
04:43It would require you staying in character 24-7,
04:45obviously living on set,
04:48but you could have whatever you wanted.
04:51Money.
04:53Clothes.
04:55Women's clothes.
04:58You know what? You can have an Oscar.
05:01Got plenty of those.
05:05What do you say?
05:07Mr. Stewart, thank you so much for everything.
05:10I just don't think I could do a marriage as a contract, even if I'm acting.
05:17Eliza.
05:19Thank you so much for last night, Mr. Stewart.
05:22Could I please grab my clothes, miss?
05:25Absolutely, Miss Brown.
05:36Eliza Brown?
05:37Eliza Brown?
05:38Yes, I'm here to read for the dead body of Zombie 16.
05:45Sorry, we're not casting for this role anymore.
05:48Sorry, what? I don't understand.
05:53Simple, really.
05:55You've been blacklisted, Eliza.
06:01What?
06:03No one in this industry is going to hire you anymore.
06:07Yeah, I know what blacklist mean, but like,
06:10well, all it took was one call to my dad,
06:13and now you're on every blacklist in Hollywood.
06:16How could you?
06:18Well, you could just do low-budget indie features from now on.
06:26Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, and they might reconsider.
06:33I'd rather die.
06:38Thank you so much for your time.
06:47That necklace looks familiar.
06:58Hey, David, what can you tell me about Eliza Brown's family?
07:04I checked. She's from a rural town in Arizona.
07:07What's got your knickers in a knot?
07:10Well, see what more you can find out.
07:13Especially anything about a necklace.
07:31Amy! Open up! I know you're in there!
07:35Amy! Open up! I know you're in there!
07:39Amy!
07:46My stuff's just outside. You can't do this!
07:50Of course I can. If you can't afford to pay the rent, then you have no right to be here, Eliza.
07:55Please, just give me one more week. I promise, I'll have the money. I've got a job coming up. Please.
08:00Maybe get an actual job and I'll reconsider. Now fuck off.
08:20No one in this industry is going to hire you anymore.
08:24Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
08:31It would require you staying in character 24-7, obviously living on set.
08:36And, but, you'd have anything you could ever want.
08:40Money. Clothes.
08:52Mr. Stewart?
08:54Ever consider taking me?
09:00Sign here, please.
09:02Alex, is this really necessary? I mean, the dress, this contract?
09:07It's just a formality. In case the boy tries to get funny, it's security.
09:12You'll also have to move in with me for a while, if that's okay with you?
09:15Uh, yeah, sure.
09:35Now you're legally married, congratulations.
09:39I have a ring for you, of course.
09:44You like it?
09:46It's pretty.
09:52Smile, honey.
10:01So, this is our room.
10:05Ours? I thought we were just sleeping under the same roof. Are we sleeping in the same bed?
10:10We had to make it as real as possible.
10:16Isn't this a bit much?
10:19It's just acting. Nothing's going to happen between us, okay?
10:23Okay, but you remember the pub, right? Like, if you cross any boundaries.
10:26Yeah, don't worry. You have my word. Nothing is going to happen, okay?
10:52What's wrong with this guy?
10:56I don't know.
11:15Hello, wifey.
11:17Stop being rude.
11:19Good night.
11:27Good night, Eliza.
11:37Diana.
11:57Hmm.
12:04Thanks for all.
12:06Um, I told you not to cross the line.
12:10Eliza, I didn't.
12:12I think we should end this contract.
12:14Eliza, you did this, not me.
12:17What?
12:19You cuddled up to me last night, you don't remember?
12:22Diana.
12:26Diana.
12:38I thought it was a dream.
12:40Oh, you dream about me.
12:44No, I would never dream about you again.
12:47Really? I think I heard you say my name.
12:50Well, that must have been a mistake.
12:51If you want to make any more mistakes, I am happy to cooperate.
12:57After all, we are officially married.
13:04I, um, I gotta go. Bathroom?
13:08You do.
13:17It was Diana.
13:22Hi.
13:24Mr. Stewart, your mother wants to speak to you about the details of your marriage.
13:28I'll be right over.
13:35Mr. Stewart, breakfast is ready.
13:38Thanks. Hey, can you take care of Eliza for a few days?
13:41I gotta go away.
13:43Where's Alexander, miss...
13:46You can call me Mary, Miss Brown. Mr. Stewart had to go to a business trip.
13:51Oh, uh, do you know when he'll be back?
13:54Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry.
13:56I'm sorry.
13:58I'm sorry.
14:00I'm sorry.
14:02I'm sorry.
14:04I'm sorry.
14:06I'm sorry.
14:08I'm sorry.
14:10I'm sorry.
14:12Mr. Stewart will be gone for a few days.
14:15You can call me if you need anything, Miss Brown.
14:18Uh, thanks.
14:25Who's this? Alexander?
14:28Yes, that's a young Mr. Stewart, Miss Brown.
14:31And the little girl, his sister?
14:34He's childhood sweetheart.
14:37Diana?
14:39Diana?
14:40Yes, his family arranged her to be his fiancée when he was just a kid.
14:46They were really very close back then.
14:50She was such an adorable little girl.
14:53It's a shame things turned out the way that they did.
14:56If she turned up, he'd probably marry her.
14:59So I guess I'm just chopped liver to him.
15:02Oh no, I'm sorry, Miss Brown. I just got lost in nostalgia there.
15:07Don't think anything of it.
15:10I'm sorry.
15:31Nice toy.
15:34You don't miss Alexander.
15:40And you're just a stand-in.
15:47Mr. Stewart, your mother's upset with your choice.
15:50She wants you to apologize to Naomi Windsor.
15:52I don't give a damn what she thinks.
15:54Shall we go back to the hotel?
15:58No.
16:00Let's go home right now.
16:11Alexander.
16:13Hi.
16:15I didn't think you'd be back so soon.
16:17I shouldn't be, but...
16:19Call me old-fashioned, but I think a husband shouldn't be away from his wife for too long.
16:24I thought we agreed that this was only a temporary arrangement.
16:28Yes, but the thing is...
16:32I can't stop thinking about you, Eliza.
16:35Alexander.
16:40You should get that.
16:42I'm sorry. And don't go anywhere. I'll be right back.
16:49What?
16:54Mr. Stewart, it's your mother. She's writing you out of the will.
16:57Excuse me?
17:00She wants you to marry Naomi. She's serious, Alex.
17:10What?
17:16Dad's been keeping you room ever since you left, Diana.
17:22But all these presents...
17:24Our sweet daddy's collected for you over the years.
17:29Why can't you just forget about you?
17:33Today is my birthday.
17:41I found something. Eliza Brown adopted.
17:46The necklace came with her when she was taken in. I think she's probably your sister.
17:51What?
17:53No, you... you must be wrong. It... it can't be.
17:59Well? DNA test?
18:03Don't tell anyone.
18:11There's only one heir in the Winchester family.
18:29Alexander Stewart.
18:31Good to see you, future son-in-law.
18:36Good to see you, future son-in-law.
18:40Alexander, thanks. Thanks for coming to my birthday party.
18:44Happy birthday, Naomi.
18:47Um, look, Alexander, I'm... I'm really sorry about everything that you saw on the livestream.
18:54But I hope that you know that it meant nothing. It's you that I truly love.
19:01You know, you've been part of our family for so many years.
19:05So many years. I mean, I can remember all that time when you had those little playdates with Diana.
19:12Yeah, all of this should be with Diana.
19:15But for the sake of the studio, I'll marry whoever I have to.
19:18You know, I haven't given up hope of finding my dear lost daughter.
19:24We'll see.
19:26But I think at some point we all have to move on.
19:29If you'll excuse me, I've got some people I have to say hello to.
19:32Of course, you're head of Foxtrot Films.
19:36For now.
19:39Dad, do you think he's really going to go through with the engagement?
19:46Naomi, the day he was born to Martha Mayweather Stewart, his future was not his to decide.
20:00I didn't know you could cook.
20:01Alexander, I didn't know you'd be home so early.
20:05I miss my wife.
20:13That's amazing.
20:17Where did you learn to do all this?
20:19I taught myself. I grew up in the foster system, so I had to teach myself everything.
20:26You are incredible, Eliza.
20:28Thank you, Alex.
20:31For everything.
20:34I...
20:40Where'd you get your necklace, Eliza?
20:43This?
20:47Where'd you get your necklace, Eliza?
20:50This?
20:53I mean, I've had it since I can remember.
20:57Maybe my bio parents?
20:59Do you remember anything about them?
21:02I know they abandoned me. That's about it.
21:11My little princess, I'm so sorry.
21:16Those beatings from your mother over and over, hating you for not getting your ballet quite perfect.
21:23And I did nothing.
21:24And I did nothing.
21:26No wonder you ran away.
21:32Don't blame yourself, Father.
21:38But I'm still here.
21:42You are, and promise I'll never let anything like that ever happen to you.
21:48I love you, Dad.
21:55Queen Miss Diana.
21:58Um...
22:00Have you heard anything about the engagement arrangements from the Stewarts?
22:07Yes, actually. They're holding an engagement party next week.
22:12Martha's very serious about going ahead.
22:15Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
22:17I'm gonna be Mrs. Alexander Stewart!
22:24No!
22:30No!
22:34Oh, Eliza.
22:46Are you okay, miss?
22:48No, no, actually I'm not.
22:49I just caught my fiancé cheating on me. Ex-fiancé now, I guess.
22:58Alexander?
23:00Alexander Stewart, president of Foxtrot Films.
23:03Mr. Stewart, this is Eliza Brown, my fiancé.
23:08I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. She can be a real troublemaker on set.
23:12Get off her!
23:14Alexander, what are you doing here?
23:21What are you doing with Davis, Naomi?
23:24I... we... were... just rehearsing!
23:29For the next scene we have together.
23:39I'm disappointed, Naomi.
23:41I'm calling off the marriage.
23:43The merger is over, Rushmore Pictures can rot in hell for all I care.
23:47What? You dare call off a marriage to the daughter of John Windsor?
23:54Mr. Stewart, it's not our fault.
23:57Eliza came in, she accused us, she framed us.
24:01Yes!
24:03And we were just rehearsing a scene.
24:05We've been framed! There's nothing going on between David and I.
24:09Alexander, we've been together for years. You have to trust me.
24:15Ms. Brown, what is your explanation for all this?
24:17I don't think I owe anybody here an explanation, but the proof is in this dream you saw.
24:22Look, I'm not trying to get involved in this merger or your marriage, Mr. Stewart, but just what's happened has happened.
24:29You are going to ruin the show and the studio's reputation, Eliza.
24:33Mr. Stewart, are you really going to let one woman single-handedly ruin everything?
24:39Alexander, I'm sorry for whatever you saw on that stream, but this is bigger than a marriage.
24:47It's going to ruin all of our careers.
24:50You should blacklist her immediately.
24:54This is the end of your acting career, Eliza.
24:57This is the end of your acting career, Eliza.
25:00Ms. Brown, how did you ever end up with a man like David?
25:07What?
25:09You're fired, David.
25:11Mr. Stewart, I'm the leading man of Foxtrot Film's number one show. The studio needs me.
25:18I could find a thousand of you all over Hollywood, David.
25:22Mr. Stewart.
25:24Pack your things.
25:26Right now, you're done.
25:28Sir, please don't make me call security.
25:33Alexander, I don't see what you have to gain siding with some lying background extra.
25:42I don't think you're in a position to judge, Naomi.
25:45I'm the daughter of John Windsor.
25:49You know what John's favorite was always your sister, Diana, anyway.
25:52You are a disgrace to your entire family, and honestly, that's quite the achievement.
25:56Would you just forget about Diana already?
25:59There's only one daughter in the Windsor family now, so if you want in, you have to marry me.
26:06Pass.
26:08You are nothing like your sister, and I will never love you the way that I loved her.
26:15This is all your fault.
26:17You big player!
26:20Mike, get her out!
26:21No, Alexander, you can't do this!
26:24Don't you love me?
26:27You're gonna pay for this!
26:31I've never been so humiliated in my entire life!
26:37That bitch has ruined everything!
26:40My career is over.
26:42We have to do something about this, David.
26:52Hey, um, Tom, yes.
26:56I actually have someone I think you might want to meet.
27:00Yeah, she's just your type.
27:09Get up, you drunk!
27:13We have a little surprise for your ex.
27:22Unlock daily drama on SnackShort.
27:29Oh my god, the big star David actually cheated?
27:34Holy shit, this is so intense.
27:36Eliza?
27:38You cheating asshole!
27:41Don't play the victim card with me.
27:45You have been leeching off of me for years, you no-name bit player.
27:48That's how you remember it?
27:50Because I remember supporting us for the last five years of my bartending salary and this is how you're repaying me?
27:56I owe you nothing.
27:59Alright, just leave us alone.
28:01David, this is your fiancée?
28:06She looks like she dresses herself at Walmart.
28:10Just ignore her, Naomi.
28:13Don't let her interrupt our good time.
28:18Now get the fuck out and I'll pretend this didn't happen.
28:23You're disgusting, David.
28:26And you'll pay for this.
28:28Are you threatening us?
28:31Have you forgotten who I am?
28:34How could I forget? I can already see the headlines.
28:37Naomi Windsor, heir to Rushmore Pictures, cheating on her fiancée with a bit actor.
28:42What are you talking about?
28:45You better delete that video.
28:48Video? I've been live-streaming this whole time.
28:51Sorry, lovebirds.
28:53Say hi to your friends, David.
28:56Everything you guys just saw, we were just rehearsing for a film. It's a scene.
29:02Grab the phone, you idiot!
29:14Oh, Eliza.
29:26Are you okay, miss?
29:28No, no, actually I'm not. I just caught my fiancée cheating on me.
29:33Ex-fiancée now, I guess.
29:38Alexander?

32:25Mr. Stewart, are you really going to let one woman single-handedly ruin everything?
32:31Alexander, I'm sorry for whatever you saw on that stream, but this is bigger than a marriage.
32:39It's going to ruin all of our careers.
32:42You should blacklist her immediately.
32:47This is the end of your acting career, Eliza.
32:50Ms. Brown, I'm sorry.
32:52I'm sorry, Eliza.
32:54Ms. Brown, how did you ever end up with a man like David?
33:01What?
33:03You're fired, David.
33:05Mr. Stewart, I'm the leading man of Foxtrot Film's number one show. The studio needs me.
33:12I could find a thousand of you all over Hollywood, David.
33:16Mr. Stewart...
33:18Pack your things.
33:20Right now, you're done.
33:22Sir, please don't make me call security.
33:26Alexander, I don't see what you have to gain siding with some lying background extra.
33:36I don't think you're in a position to judge, Naomi.
33:39I'm the daughter of John Windsor.
33:42Yeah, well, John's favorite was always your sister, Diana, anyway.
33:45You are a disgrace to your entire family, and honestly, that's quite the achievement.
33:49Would you just forget about Diana already?
33:53There's only one daughter in the Windsor family now, so if you want in, you have to marry me.
33:59Pass.
34:01You are nothing like your sister, and I will never love you the way that I loved her.
34:08This is all your fault.
34:11You bit player!
34:14Mike, get her out!
34:16No, Alexander, you can't do this!
34:19Don't you love me?
34:21You're gonna pay for this, bitch!
34:24I'm so sorry about all the trouble I've caused, Mr. Stewart.
34:28This has been a long time coming, and don't get me wrong, I'm doing this for the studio.
34:33Well, I guess we're both victims of an affair.
34:36Cheaters anonymous.
34:38I mean, that doesn't really make sense.
34:40We want the cheaters here.
34:42You're right.
34:43You're right.
34:45I'm gonna... I'm gonna get going.
34:48Okay.
34:51Does Eliza remind you of anyone, Mike?
34:54You think everyone looks like their childhood lovebird, Alexander?
34:59There's something captivating about her.
35:01She reminded me of Diana as soon as I saw her.
35:04She's been missing for decades, Mr. Stewart.
35:08Right. That's impossible.
35:10When your mother and the board find out about you calling off the engagement, they're gonna be furious.
35:15Yeah, well, we can tell my mother and the board that it's nothing to do with them.
35:19I'm not just some robot here to make a profit and produce an heir.
35:40Fucked.
35:45Pay your share of the rent as soon as possible, or I'll throw you out.
35:51Hi, this is Eliza Brown. I attended the audition last week.
35:56You've casted the role?
35:58No, of course not.
36:00Thank you so much for your consideration.
36:10I can't make a living like this.
36:17What do you want, David?
36:19Hey, Eliza. Listen, I feel really bad for what happened between us, and I was hoping that I'd be able to make it up to you.
36:28So, I was talking to a director of a show that I'm currently working on, Tom.
36:35And he said that he might have a role that could be perfect for you.
36:40Sorry, Tom Erickson? The Rushmore director?
36:44Yeah, that's him. But he said that before he progresses any further, he'd like to meet you.
36:50So, are you free tonight, 8pm, bar on West Lakes?
36:54Yeah, yeah, no, send me the address. I'll be there.
36:58But for Tom's sake, not yours.
37:00David has never sent me a single casting call, let alone get me cast in something.
37:24To your latest recruit.
37:26To your latest recruit.
37:43Are you okay, miss?
37:45No, no, actually, I'm not. I just caught my fiancé cheating on me. Ex-fiancé now, I guess.
37:55Alexander?
37:57Alexander Stewart? President of Foxtrot Films?
38:00Mr. Stewart, this is Eliza Brown, my fiancé. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. She can be a real troublemaker on set.
38:09Get off her!
38:13Alexander, what are you doing here?
38:18What are you doing with David, Naomi?
38:21I... we... were... just rehearsing for the next scene we have together.
38:36I'm disappointed, Naomi. I'm calling off the marriage. The merger is over, Rushmore Pictures can rot in hell for all I care.
38:43What? You dare call off a marriage to the daughter of John Windsor?
38:51Mr. Stewart, it's not our fault. Eliza came in, she accused us, she framed us, and we were just rehearsing a scene.
39:01We've been framed! There's nothing going on between David and I.
39:06Alexander, we've been together for years. You have to trust me.
39:11Ms. Brown, what is your explanation for all this?
39:14I don't think I owe anybody here an explanation, but the proof is in the stream you saw.
39:19Look, I'm not trying to get involved in this merger or your marriage, Mr. Stewart, but just what's happened has happened.
39:25You are going to ruin the show and the studio's reputation, Eliza.
39:32Mr. Stewart, are you really going to let one woman single-handedly ruin everything?

41:13This is all your fault.
41:15You big player!
41:18Mike, get her out!
41:19No, Alexander, you can't do this! Don't you love me?
41:25You're gonna pay for this, bitch!

42:35Where did you get this necklace, Eliza?
42:38Mike, I want you to do a background check on Eliza immediately.
42:41I'll do what I can, Mr. Stewart.
42:43What are you thinking, Alexander?
42:45Who are you, Eliza?
42:48Maybe I'm just a little confused.
42:51I don't know.
42:53I don't know.
42:55Who are you, Eliza?
43:01Hey, it's okay. It's all right.
43:06Mr. Stewart, I had a look at Ms. Brown's sample. She's been drugged.
43:11Oh, figures.
43:15Hey, handsome.
43:19Mr. Stewart.
43:21Um, I'll go start that background check. Call me if you need anything.
43:26Sure, thanks.
43:30Eliza, hey, hey. I think we should get a doctor.
43:34No, please. Please don't leave.
43:39My fiancé did.
43:41Okay, okay.
43:42Okay, okay.
43:47Eliza, we really shouldn't be doing this.
43:50We shouldn't be doing this. You've been drugged.
43:52You're not yourself, okay?
43:54It's not you. Maybe we can pick this up some other time.
43:57You're beautiful. It's...
44:00Eliza?
44:03Eliza?
44:05You're kidding me.
44:13Morning.
44:16You get some rest.
44:22Mr. Stewart, I'm hoping I'm not intruding. I found out something about Ms. Brown.
44:28Oh, my God. Did I just sleep with the man I just met?
44:36Good morning.
44:37Good morning.
44:39I assumed you would be starving.
44:47Something the matter?
44:50Mr. Stewart, about last night...
44:55About the part where I saved you?
44:59Thank you for that.
45:02No, I...
45:04Did we...
45:05Did we what?
45:07I'm guessing we slept together. I'm so sorry. That was a mistake. I was really drunk.
45:12Drunk? A drunken mistake?
45:14Well, I guess it wasn't as special to you as it was to me, then, huh?
45:18I'm fucking with you.
45:20No, we didn't sleep together.
45:22I'm wearing your shirt.
45:24Yeah, Mary put it on you. I don't own any women's clothes, so she used one of mine. Looks good.
45:30Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you so much, Mr. Stewart.
45:39Alexander, please. I mean, we are not strangers anymore, right? Cheated anonymous?
45:46I don't know how I could repay you, Alexander.
45:50There is something you could do.
45:52Oh, what is it? Have you got a role for me, Mr. DeMille?
45:56Kind of.
46:00Will you marry me?
46:02Unlock daily drama on SnackShort.
46:05Will you marry me?
46:07What?
46:09Oh, like an acting role for the tabloids? You're an actress, right?
46:13Yeah, but you have a fiancé.
46:16Naomi? Well, we're done. That marriage was never gonna happen. It was just something that my mother forced me into for years. It was...
46:24What, like a contract marriage?
46:26Yeah, I know it sounds absurd. You know, Naomi is the daughter of John Windsor, who is the president of Rushmore Pictures, and if I married her, it would have made the acquisition of Foxtrot Pictures easier, and it was... yeah.
46:40But look, it's a meaty role. It would require you staying in character 24-7, obviously living on set.
46:47And, but, you could have whatever you wanted. Money. Clothes. Women's clothes.
46:57You know what? You can have an Oscar.
47:00Got plenty of those.
47:04What do you say?
47:06Mr. Stewart, thank you so much for everything. I just, I don't think I could do a marriage as a contract, even if I'm acting.
47:16Eliza.
47:18Thank you so much for last night, Mr. Stewart.
47:21Um, could I please grab my clothes, miss?
47:24Absolutely, Miss Brown.
47:35Eliza Brown?
47:37Yes, I'm here to read for the dead body of Zombie 16.
47:43Um, sorry, we're not casting for this role anymore.
47:47Uh, sir? What? I don't understand.
47:52Simple, really. You've been blacklisted, Eliza.
47:57What?
47:59No one in this industry is going to hire you anymore.
48:02Yeah, I know what blacklisted mean, but like, well, all it took was one call to my dad, and now you're on every blacklist in Hollywood.
48:11How could you?
48:14Well, you could just do low-budget indie features from now on.
48:21Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness, and they might reconsider.
48:28I'd rather die.
48:32Die?
48:36Thank you so much for your time.
48:44That necklace looks familiar.
48:55Hey, David, what can you tell me about Eliza Brown's family?
49:00I checked. She's from a rural town in Arizona. What's got your knickers in a knot?
49:06Well, see what more you can find out. Especially anything about a necklace.
49:27Amy! Open up!
49:30Amy!
49:37My stuff's just outside. You can't do this.
49:41Of course I can. If you can't afford to pay the rent, then you have no right to be here, Eliza.
49:46Please, just give me one more week. I promise, I'll have the money. I've got a job coming up. Please.
49:51Maybe get an actual job, and I'll reconsider. Now fuck off.
50:10No one in this industry is going to hire you anymore.
50:14Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.
50:21It wouldn't require you staying in character 24-7, obviously living on set.
50:26And, but, you'd have anything you could ever want.
50:30Money. Clothes.
50:42Is she still here?
50:44I've reconsidered taking the meeting.
