00:00I lost my specialist and I need someone to replace
00:03and I feel good for it.
00:05I'm going to give you a great salary, health insurance,
00:08we have a fixed schedule.
00:10I'm going to put you in a nice, beautiful view,
00:12plus we will hold the benefit package.
00:16And then it became clear to me what all those meetings were for.
00:21You know, um...
00:23I'm not even offended that you used me.
00:32Oh, come on, it's not like this.
00:34I just...
00:38I regret wasting my time with you.
00:45Nina, I'm waiting for you on stage.
00:48Give her a round of applause.
00:53Are you looking at Alex, our main competitor?
01:04No, I wasn't looking at anyone.
01:05No, girl.
01:06Guys like that love models.
01:08They're certainly good at counting company expenses,
01:10but obviously not your allergies.
01:12I wasn't looking at anyone, okay?
01:14God, why do I put up with this?
01:16I was sure I would never find love.
01:25But on that terrible day,
01:27this stranger had already prepared his trap for me.
01:30My name is Dina,
01:32and this is my love story.
01:34What?
01:35Hey.
01:36You okay?
01:37You hurt?
01:38What?
01:39Not hurt?
01:40I...
01:42No.
01:43Let's get you up, come on.
01:48Don't worry about these jerks.
01:50They're just jealous.
01:52What?
01:54You know, you have the most beautiful eyes in the room.
01:58Anyway, Alex Duncan.
02:00Pleasure to meet you.
02:02And you are?
02:04He was even more handsome up close.
02:07My insides clenched, and my mouth went dry,
02:10and I was unbearably ashamed and scared.
02:13I'm sorry, I have to go now.
02:17I didn't know then what secret Alex was hiding,
02:20and why he needed me.
02:26I couldn't sleep all night because of that Alex.
02:29Why did he come up to me at all?
02:31No.
02:36Hi.
02:38It's Dina, right?
02:39What's your name?
02:43Oh, you must have come for your jacket.
02:45No, no, no.
02:47I came because I wanted to invite you for a dinner with me.
02:51Me?
02:53What for?
02:54What do you mean what for?
02:56Why do you invite the girls for a dinner?
02:59I don't know.
03:00I don't ask girls to dinner.
03:04Listen, I'm gonna believe that no one ever invited such a beautiful girl for a date before.
03:09What?
03:11You don't think I'm lying?
03:14What?
03:15No.
03:17Listen, the other day everybody was making fun of you, and I really hated it.
03:19So I thought I'm gonna do something nice to cheer you up.
03:24Oh, I didn't care at all.
03:26My boss is just an idiot and everyone grovels in front of him and so on and...
03:30So, how about this dinner together?
03:32You and I are competitors.
03:33Why would you want to do that?
03:34Listen, I'm not inviting you as a CEO of a company.
03:35I'm inviting you as a...
03:36Nice guy?
03:38Look, I don't think you need this.
03:39Well, I'm a grown man and I know what I want and what I need.
03:40So, why don't you tell me?
03:41Why you cannot go out with me?
03:42Well, I can't.
03:43It's just...
03:44Great.
03:45See?
03:46Wasn't that hard.
03:47I'll call you tomorrow.
03:48Bye.
03:49Bye.
03:50Bye.
03:51Bye.
03:52Bye.
03:53Bye.
03:54Bye.
03:55Bye.
03:56Bye.
03:57Bye.
03:58Bye.
03:59Bye.
04:00Bye.
04:01Bye.
04:02Bye.
04:03Bye.
04:04Bye.
04:05Bye.
04:06Bye.
04:07Bye.
04:08Bye.
04:12Bye.
04:13Bye.
04:14Bye.
04:15Bye.
04:17Bye.
04:18I thought I was going to go crazy with excitement.
04:21He definitely needs something for me.
04:22Because it can be true.
04:25Or can it?
04:26Did I hear you right?
04:31There is something wrong here.
04:34It just can be true.
04:36Of course it can.
04:37You're a beautiful girl.
04:39Yeah, right off the cover.
04:40A beautiful girl is asked out by a man.
04:43It's a common situation.
04:45Common?
04:48Last time I was asked out by Patrick Miles in eighth grade.
04:52And he did it to get me to take his test.
04:55And you know all about it.
04:56So what? Not all men are cheaters.
04:58And it's your turn to find the right one.
05:01I don't have time.
05:03I have a month reports coming in.
05:05And I'm used to being with you.
05:07Come here to me.
05:10And listen carefully.
05:17You don't have any private life because of my disability.
05:21Not because there is something wrong with you.
05:23Not at all.
05:25I love taking care of you.
05:34Look.
05:37Could you please your sick mother
05:39and put your pretty dress on and go on the stage?
05:42Why are you so crazy about this date?
05:44Remember.
05:46Life gives everyone a chance to find love.
05:49The main thing is not to miss it.
05:54It was my first date and I was full.
05:58But then he suggested we go for a lot and I had to keep holding my belly.
06:02So finally, can you explain why you didn't want to go out with me at the first place?
06:09I couldn't believe it because I...
06:12Well, you know.
06:14I thought that there would be some kind of a catch.
06:17That it was my idiot boss testing me or something.
06:21Yeah.
06:24Honestly?
06:26Probably it's going to sound crazy, but I've never been in a relationship.
06:33You know, me and you are quite similar, huh?
06:36I spend a lot of time home and I've never been in a serious relationship.
06:40What?
06:42You?
06:43Yeah.
06:44I can't believe it.
06:45Why not?
06:46You've been...
06:47You look like you've been photoshopped.
06:49I can't even see you have six bucks for your shirt.
06:52This thick hair.
06:53Girls love guys like you.
06:54Oh, come on, come on.
06:55You're funny.
06:56You're funny.
06:57I'll give you that.
06:58No, usually the girls that I hang out with are really focused on my credit cards.
07:03Really?
07:04What's so special about it?
07:09I really had a great time today and I was hoping we could go again tomorrow.
07:16Only if you'll bring your special credit card.
07:20I will, I will.
07:24We started seeing each other almost every day.
07:28Sometimes he would act like the cheesy romantic from the movie and there was something unnatural about it.
07:35But when we started talking and joking, it was like he was taking off his mask.
07:42And he was good.
07:44And I think I understood why he wasn't in a relationship.
07:48I think he was a mama's boy.
07:52But that didn't bother me one bit.
07:56I like the way he looked at me.
07:59Even though it made me sweat like a pig.
08:06These meetings are more boring than anything I've done in my whole life.
08:13And it's not much fun, believe me.
08:15Bad work work, huh?
08:17Yeah.
08:19So anyway, what do you think is going to be your focus for next quarter?
08:21No.
08:23Why would you want to know that?
08:25It's not a secret that you are probably one of the top financial advisors in the whole city.
08:29And normally it would be impossible to lure you to a different company.
08:32But now that we have this great relationship.
08:37I lost my specialist.
08:39And I need someone to replace.
08:40And I feel good.
08:42Great salary.
08:44Health insurance.
08:45We have a fixed schedule.
08:46And then it became clear to me what all those meetings were for.
08:57What do you promise?
08:58What do you promise?
08:59You know, um...
09:05I'm not even offended that, um...
09:08You used me.
09:09Oh, come on. It's not like this.
09:11I just...
09:15I regret wasting my time with you.
09:18I could...
09:19I could spend my time with my mother who can't walk.
09:22And who is sitting there alone now while...
09:25I...
09:28Wait, I waste my time on an idiot like you.
09:30Mom, it's not...
09:31And the only person I hate for that is myself.
09:34So that's the reason you didn't let me in?
09:37It doesn't matter anymore.
09:39I'll bring your jacket back.
09:41Don't worry.
09:42Wait, please let me explain.
09:43Dina, please don't go like this.
09:45Dina, wait!
09:49Yes, Mom.
09:51It felt so bad.
09:53After all, he was using me.
09:56Alex kept calling and writing, but...
09:59I didn't answer.
10:00Even when he came to my apartment.
10:04I decided not to go out until he left.
10:07I wanted to forget about him as soon as I could.
10:14I tried to go back to my normal life.
10:17Though...
10:18I still thought about him every day.
10:19Hi.
10:21Can we talk?
10:23Come on, please.
10:24Let me explain.
10:25What's the matter?
10:26Is Guilty thinking you up?
10:28Yes.
10:29At first, I was trying to seduce you to get you to my company.
10:32Come on, come on, come on.
10:33I'm not done!
10:36But then I get to know you.
10:38The real you.
10:39And you're great.
10:40You're fantastic.
10:41You're funny.
10:43And...
10:44I really care about you.
10:47I cannot lose you.
10:48You and I are...
10:50Two different, Alex.
10:51It won't work.
10:52You're wrong, we're not.
10:53My mom is...
10:54Also sick.
10:55She's been...
10:56For a long time.
10:57She cannot walk.
10:58She's always home.
10:59That's why she's calling me all the time.
11:00And I was always alone with it.
11:01But...
11:02Finally I found someone who I can...
11:03Who understands me and...
11:04What we have, it's special.
11:05You know it's special.
11:06I can't believe you.
11:07You just want me to count your money.
11:08And all you think about is your status and...
11:09How you look in the eyes of others.
11:10No, I'm not sure.
11:11I don't care.
11:12I don't care.
11:13How can you prove it?
11:14How?
11:15Cheers.
11:16I'll...
11:17I have this one for you.
11:18I'll...
11:19Go...
11:20I'll...
11:21Have you...
11:22I'll have...
11:23I can't see that.
11:24That's what I am.
11:25It's special.
11:26I can't believe you.
11:27You just want me to count your money.
11:29And all you think about is your status and...
11:32How you look in the eyes of others.
11:33No, I don't care.
11:34I don't care.
11:35You don't.
11:36I don't care.
11:37How can you prove it?
11:38How...
11:39How...
11:40Cheers.
11:41Uh...
11:42I'll...
11:43I'll have this one for you.
11:44I'll get this one for real.
11:51Come on, Anita, I'm begging you.
11:55Give me a second chance, please.
11:59I think you really stained your reputation.
12:03I think I did.
12:05My mom was right.
12:14Life gives everyone a chance to find love.
12:17The main thing is not to miss it.
