00:00I want you to take her to HR. Fire her. Immediately.
00:03Whatever your intentions may be here, they're not welcome.
00:22Night.
00:31After 20 years, I'm finally here to marry you, Ellie.
00:36Just as I promised.
00:44Oh no!
00:46Broke it!
00:50Hey losers! Leave him alone!
00:52This girl's crazy! Let's go!
00:54Yeah!
00:56Don't worry. Superheroes always find their way to stand up again.
01:01I want you here with me.
01:04I know that your love is gone.
01:10You're a lifesaver, Ellie. You always take good care of me.
01:13Because I like you.
01:14And I like you too.
01:16And I want to take good care of you forever.
01:23Will you marry me?
01:25In 20 years, we can meet at the First Encounter Bible Shop.
01:29Yes. In 20 years, when we're gramps, I'll marry you.
01:34Here. Take this pocket watch with my picture in it.
01:37And I'll keep the one with your picture in it.
01:39Deal.
01:45Ellie at the First Encounter Bible Shop.
01:47She is, sir.
01:48And all necessary personnel have been cleared out.
01:50Excellent.
01:51Right this way.
02:04Thank you for coming wedding dress shopping with me.
02:07Which one do you like better? Mine or yours?
02:09Mine. I mean, it is the pricier one.
02:12Price isn't everything. It's about finding the right thing.
02:16Are you really going to marry this guy just because of a promise you made as kids?
02:21I mean, you don't even remember what his name is or what he looks like.
02:25What if he's totally broke?
02:27Even if he's broke.
02:29We'll figure it out.
02:30Well, I can't see myself making a bunch of kids with a broke baby daddy.
02:35Just not the life for me.
02:37My God, check this out.
02:39Billionaire Clyde Croft drops $150 million on a pink diamond necklace for his love.
02:47God, I wonder who the lucky girl is.
02:52Pardon, I need to go to the restroom.
02:54Can you hold this for me?
03:00There she is. With the watch.
03:04Ellie.
03:18You're the lucky guy.
03:21You're the lucky guy.
03:23You're the lucky guy.
03:25You're the lucky guy.
03:26You're the lucky guy.
03:28You're the CEO of the Croft Corporation?
03:31Yeah, and I'm here to...
03:36marry you.
03:37Mr. Croft, I...
03:40There's no need to be so formal with each other. Come on.
03:43Call me Clyde.
03:48Clyde, I have been waiting 20 years for you.
03:52You have turned into the man I thought you'd become.
03:55Hey, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
04:00To our joyous reunion.
04:03Hey, hold this.
04:20God, I love it.
04:24We were shot like a jackass.
04:27Hey, hold on one second.
04:30What have you got to do?
04:33150 million dollars.
04:38I hit the jackpot.
04:40Okay, I'll be right there. Just hold on.
04:46Ellie's changed so much in 20 years.
04:50Hey, Ellie.
04:52Something urgent came up. I gotta take it.
04:54Hey, go do what you need to do.
04:56Okay.
04:57Oh, hey.
05:00Call me later.
05:06Don't.
05:07Hey.
05:20Hey.
05:26At last.
05:28It's you.
05:32Miss, um...
05:34Yeah, but don't even try.
05:36I'm not available.
05:37Try?
05:38With you?
05:39In your dreams, you narcissist.
05:42I love you.
05:49It must be out of my mind if I thought that guy could be my childhood sweetheart.
05:54Elise.
05:56There's something that you need to know.
05:59What's going on?
06:00Your childhood sweetheart...
06:04He sent a messenger.
06:06He said that he can't keep his promise to marry you because he's in love with somebody else.
06:11Did he leave a number, or...?
06:13I feel like we should meet face to face.
06:16No, no. The messenger said that he wanted nothing to do with you, and he even took back the watch.
06:24I guess that promise only meant something to me.
06:28Sorry, Elise. I'm not turning down my chance to be comfortable with it.
06:32Well, on the bright side, you're free from that stupid little promise, right?
06:37It was never stupid to me.
06:41Eleanor, where did you get that necklace?
06:46It looks just like this one.
06:48Yeah, it's a replica from the bridal shop.
06:51I thought it looked nice, so I put it on.
06:53Yeah, right?
06:55I mean, this bridal shop would have a $150 million necklace.
06:58Right?
07:00Oh.
07:01Hello?
07:03Craft Corporation?
07:04They got the job?
07:06Yeah, I can start today.
07:12I got the job as Clyde Croft's new secretary.
07:15Mr. Croft's secretary?
07:17Yep.
07:19My new boss is the big shot that just spent $150 million on a necklace for his love.
07:24Oh, I better change.
07:29What are the chances?
07:33Now that Elise got the job with Clyde, she's bound to find out that I took her spot.
07:41Hi, I'm Elise. I'm the new secretary starting today.
07:45Oh, I'm Andy. Welcome aboard.
07:48You're going to be helping me with Mr. Croft and his daily affairs.
07:52I thought we agreed that I was going to be Mr. Croft's new secretary.
07:55Yeah, right. You were unqualified.
08:00Mr. Croft is here. Everybody straighten up, please.
08:03The last secretary got fired after crossing the line,
08:06so don't think that your pretty face is going to get you very far with Mr. Croft.
08:11Good afternoon, Mr. Croft.
08:19Good afternoon, Mr. Croft.
08:30Are you trying to seduce your way into a promotion by throwing yourself all over Mr. Croft like that?
08:36Wow.
08:37Wait. You.
08:39I'm sorry.
08:40Mr. Croft, this is the new secretary, Elise.
08:43Yeah, but she...
08:47Hold on one sec.
08:49Hey, Ellie.
08:50Clyde, sweetheart. I forgot to tell you that my best friend, Elise, just started working at your company.
08:58Why is he staring at me like that?
09:00She's your best friend.
09:01Yeah, but she's like a total copycat.
09:03She's always tried to take my stuff, even my boyfriends.
09:07And she applied to work for you after I told her about us.
09:10I would keep my distance from her if I were you.
09:12Yeah, don't worry. I won't allow someone like that in my company.
09:18Mr. Croft, I didn't mean...
09:19Hey, Andy. I want you to take her to HR. Fire her. Immediately.
09:23Whatever your intentions may be here, then I welcome.
09:26We have a meeting with a Chinese client today.
09:29Elise is the only one in the secretarial department who speaks fluent Mandarin.
09:38Okay.
09:42Elise.
09:45This is your one chance, okay? Don't blow it.
09:47I can do it.
10:02She's top notch.
10:03She's exactly where you are.
10:08Oh, um, Elise.
10:11Yes, Mr. Croft?
10:12Andy's going to take you to sign the contract to be my new secretary.
10:15Really? I don't have to leave?
10:17As long as you perform the way you did today. Professional.
10:20Of course, Mr. Croft. I promise I will work really hard and I won't let you down.
10:24Okay.
10:25Okay.
10:35Well, I guess good looks are worth something around here, huh?
10:39Must be nice.
10:41Meanwhile, the rest of us have to do actual work around here to earn our place.
10:45Nice outfit.
10:47Must have cost a pretty penny.
10:50But you know what?
10:51Mr. Croft hates a gold digger.
10:54Well, if you're so above it all, why don't you work for Mr. Croft pro bono?
10:59I bet he'd love that.
11:02I only love when employees back up their salaries with a performance.
11:09You know what?
11:10Hey, can you drive?
11:11Yes, I can.
11:13Good catch.
11:24Oh no, Mr. Croft.
11:27Elyse, I thought you said you could drive.
11:29Well, I haven't driven all that much since I got my license.
11:33Are you alright?
11:34Here.
11:37Elyse, your hand.
11:40I'm sorry.
11:43What is this?
11:45I'm so sorry about earlier, Mr. Croft. Complete accident.
11:48No, no, never mind. Listen.
11:51Listen, I need you to help me pick out an engagement ring, okay?
11:54Engagement ring?
11:55Yeah.
11:58Elyse is Eleanor's best friend.
12:00They probably have similar taste.
12:04Which one do you like?
12:06This one, I guess.
12:08Could we please take a look at that one?
12:21Mr. Croft, what are you doing?
12:23Nothing. I want to see how it looks.
12:25Try it on.
12:29It's gorgeous.
12:32Aren't you guys a perfect match?
12:35No, you're mistaken.
12:36No, I'm just trying it on for my boss.
12:39The ring is for his fiancée.
12:41Could you, um, could we wrap that up, please?
12:43Mr. Croft, this ring features a flawless and rare 8.5-inch diamond.
12:48It's priced at three million.
12:49All right, then.
12:50You know what? Could you also add in a few of the most popular as well?
12:53Wow. No expenses spared when it comes to Mr. Croft's fiancée.
12:58Will you marry me?
13:01And all I got was a broken promise.
13:04Oh, Mr. Croft, this ring costs a fortune.
13:07What if she doesn't like it?
13:09Maybe you should ask her first.
13:11You know what?
13:13I'll go wrap these for you guys.
13:22Wow.
13:26Elyse, great job with the gifts today.
13:28You know what? I want you to sign this.
13:30Sign what?
13:31This.
13:32No, leave it.
13:33No, I'm not signing it.
13:34I'm signing it.
13:35No, leave it.
13:36You're not signing it.
13:37I'm signing it.
13:38No, you're not signing it.
13:39Great job with the gifts today.
13:40You know what?
13:41I want you to stop off at HR and grab your bonus.
13:43A bonus for shopping?
13:45How much?
13:47Oh, Mr. Croft.
13:48Don't you need me to drive you home?
13:50Uh, no, no, you know what?
13:51I'm gonna meet up with my fiance, so I'll drive myself.
13:53You can go home, too.
13:54Great.
13:55I'll get a gift for my roommate, and then I'll head home.
14:00Have a great date, Mr. Croft.
14:02I can't wait to tell Eleanor about all of this.
14:10All of this is for me?
14:12Yeah.
14:13Do you like it?
14:15I adore it.
14:17Clyde, this must have cost a fortune.
14:20Hey.
14:21Hey.
14:22It's not about the cost, okay?
14:24It's about us, Ellie.
14:26I can't risk losing any of this.
14:31But if I bear his child, he'll have to stay with me.
14:35Even if he learns the truth.
14:39Okay.
14:44Clyde.
14:46Let's...
14:48Why does it feel so strange when Ellie and I get intimate?
14:52Hey, hey, you know, you should...
14:55You should get some rest.
14:57I'm tired.
14:59Yeah, um...
15:01Hey, you know, I, uh...
15:03I got some, uh...
15:05Some stuff to do, so I'll see you later, okay?
15:08Take care of those.
15:33Hi.
15:36Did your boyfriend leave already?
15:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, he just left.
15:40When did you meet him again?
15:41And why do I not get to be introduced to him?
15:44I'll introduce you to him when I know him a little better.
15:47But enough about me, tell me about your date.
15:50Okay, well, I brought us this cake to celebrate because I got the job!
15:56Oh, you made it through your first date.
15:59Yep.
16:00Well, I almost got fired.
16:02But once I showed them what I could do, they gave it to me on the spot.
16:06You are looking at Mr. Croft's new secretary.
16:15So, tell me everything.
16:17Is your boss, like, so rich and hot as hell?
16:23He's definitely handsome, but he's very in love with his fiancée.
16:28He dropped, like, three million dollars on a ring without even batting an eye.
16:33She's a lucky woman.
16:37Are you, like, into Mr. Croft?
16:39Oh, no. He's my boss, that's it.
16:43You know me, I would never want another woman's man.
16:45I know, I just don't want you catching feelings with the wrong guy and getting hurt.
16:51After the bridal shop fiasco, I have my heart on lockdown.
16:56Um, isn't that the ring my boss just bought for his fiancée?
17:00No, my grandma got me this.
17:04God, imagine if you were dating my boss.
17:07We would be, like, set for life.
17:11What's up?
17:12Matt!
17:13Hey!
17:14For real, Eleanor, we've been pals since we were kids.
17:17And now you're being all secretive about your new wealthy boyfriend?
17:20Fine.
17:21I've seen her new ride. It's hella fancy.
17:24You didn't tell me he was rich.
17:26Congrats, it's been your dream for, like, ever.
17:29I betcha.
17:30As soon as she moves into her mansion,
17:32she won't ever acknowledge us as friends anymore.
17:35Um, don't say that. You know that's not true.
17:38No.
17:41Meet me tomorrow at 10.
17:43We'll be meeting some clients to talk about our partnership.
17:45And dress sharp.
17:50Hi, how are you doing?
17:53Mr. Croft!
17:55Hold on one second, okay?
17:58I heard you purchased the $150 million True Love necklace
18:01for your fiancée at the charity auction.
18:04This must be Mrs. Croft, I presume.
18:06No, there's been a misunderstanding, sir.
18:09I'm Mr. Croft's secretary, Elise.
18:15Hold on one second.
18:16Yep.
18:20Hi, Grandma.
18:22When are you going to bring Ellie to meet me?
18:26As soon as I'm done with this meeting, I'll have Annie bring her to see you.
18:31I never expected Mr. Croft to have such a hottie like you working for him.
18:36And, I mean, I can tell you must work out with a body like that, hmm?
18:41Mr. Croft will be back any minute now.
18:43That's okay.
18:44That's okay.
18:48What do you think you're doing?
18:50I am Mr. Croft's secretary.
18:52Secretary?
18:53Do you think a secretary is going to get in the way of a billion dollar deal?
18:57As a matter of fact, I think you'd be flattered if I took an interest in you at all.
19:03Flattered?
19:04No.
19:05Fearless?
19:06Yes.
19:08You okay?
19:09What the hell are you doing?
19:10Is she really worth it?
19:11You're just going to throw away our partnership like that?
19:13The Croft Corporation will never do business with scum like you ever again.
19:20You okay?
19:28Mr. Croft.
19:29Hmm?
19:30Your hand.
19:31It's nothing.
19:32You canceled a billion dollar partnership because of me.
19:34It just seems like a big loss.
19:36Are you really talking about the deal right now?
19:39I'm just...
19:40I'm afraid I might have cost myself this job.
19:43It's not going to happen.
19:44Okay?
19:45You're my secretary.
19:46Someone messes with you, they mess with me.
19:54This band-aid?
19:55What, Mr. Croft?
19:57Nothing.
20:10Mr. Croft, you don't want to drive me.
20:12You don't have to take it out on me.
20:14Ellie, did you just...
20:17Did you just tap your nose?
20:18What?
20:19Is tapping your nose against the law now?
20:22No.
20:23What is going on?
20:25Why does Elise keep reminding me of Ellie?
20:28Let's go.
20:29Where are we going?
20:30My grandma's house.
20:31I'm going to bring my fiancee to meet her.
20:35Mr. Croft, won't it be a bit awkward?
20:38Won't it be a bit awkward if I'm there while your significant other meets your grandma?
20:42Secretary Elise, are you just going to stand there and watch me carry all these, or...
20:48Oh, no, Mr. Croft.
20:50I've got it.
20:56Mr. Croft, you are a wealthy, good-looking, and kind man.
21:01Mrs. Croft must be pretty amazing to have caught your eye.
21:04Well, in my eye, she's more than just amazing.
21:06How did you two meet?
21:07Twenty years ago.
21:08You know, she saved my life once.
21:10Childhood sweethearts.
21:12Must be a pretty tight bond.
21:17Ugh, who is this other woman?
21:19Another one trying to get with Clyde?
21:22You know, after she saved my life, I went abroad.
21:25And we actually reunited recently.
21:31Sounds a lot like my story.
21:33Minus the tragedy.
21:36Clyde, honey, sorry to keep you waiting.
21:40And who might this young lady be?
21:42Eleanor?
21:43It's you.
21:44Elise!
21:46Eleanor's my fiancée.
21:48But I thought you two were best friends when you didn't know?
21:50Eleanor, you were single when we were trying on wedding dresses, and now you're engaged to my boss?
21:55What are you talking about?
21:58At last.
22:00It's you.
22:01Then why was Elise at the shop?
