Short filmTranscript
00:00I want you to break up with Kathy. I love Kathy. He turned me down.
00:08I think we should break up. You are a loser.
00:14Your balance? 86 million dollars. Thank you.
00:25Why is there a homeless kid in our study group?
00:27You know me, Rose. I'm in this class too. I don't know who you are, but you're
00:38I feel really uncomfortable with you here. Please get away from me. Okay?
00:45Okay, everybody. Everybody settle down. Settle down. I'd like us all to send congratulations to
00:53Alex Ambrose, winner of this year's math competition. Stand up, Alex.
00:59We're passing out awards to janitors.
01:03It's like that movie where the janitor is secretly a math genius,
01:06except this freak is no Matt Damon.
01:18Thanks for helping me with the chemistry homework, Alex.
01:21Sure, no problem. You're so smart. I don't know how you remember everything.
01:28Hey, would you want to go to the movies with me tonight, Alex?
01:32How about trying on the sweater I bought you from Saks Fifth Avenue?
01:42It's really nice.
01:44Hey, thank you. That's too expensive for me.
01:50Don't be silly. Just try it on for me, Alex. You'd be so handsome if you just...
01:58Let me clean you up a little.
02:03I know I'm not the coolest or most fashionable, but I like modesty and simple living.
02:11And I thought that's what you liked about me.
02:24Let's go out to eat. I'll buy, but I don't know how much longer I can keep paying for us.
02:32Hey, you loser.
02:34Guys, stop being so mean. Alex, don't listen to them.
02:39I actually wanted to talk to you.
02:41Look, we all know that you barely make any money.
02:45So I was thinking you should apply for a job at my father's company.
02:51I can get you into one of his offices.
02:53The Brennan Empire. Multi-billion dollar corp. You've heard of us, I'm sure.
02:59I don't get it. I thought you guys hated me. Why are you offering me a job?
03:02Don't be silly. The guys joke around with everyone.
03:06And you're really smart. I'm sure there's a place for someone like you in one of my dad's many companies.
03:14Okay, yeah, sure. I'm interested.
03:16Awesome! It's just, there's one condition.
03:20And what would that be?
03:23I want you to break up with Kathy.
03:24How would I do that? Why would you even want me to do that?
03:28It's simple, Alex. You're just low class. And Kathy's one of us.
03:33She deserves to be with someone in high society. Like, well, like Billy.
03:39But not a lowlife like you.
03:43You know what? Screw you, Rose. I love Kathy. You can't buy me.
03:49Good one.
03:51You are too funny, Rose.
03:53He turned me down.
03:55The salad woman.
03:57Yeah, what's wrong?
03:59I mean, I was never gonna give him the job anyway. I just...
04:01I wanted to have some fun watching him try and then he just...
04:07You know that building that he lives in? It's owned by my father.
04:13He'll learn what it costs to reject an offer from the Brennans.
04:21Excuse me? You guys can't just come in here. Who are you?
04:25It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is your rent was due on the first.
04:31Today is the fifth. Plus, you owe last month's rent also.
04:35You'll get your money. I promise.
04:37No more promises, Alex. You have money to take your girlfriend out, but you don't pay your rent?
04:43The Brennans don't like not getting paid. Guys, throw him out.
04:47Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, hold on. So Rose's dad owns this building, huh?
04:51Yeah, I should have known. The Brennans always seem to take advantage of people down on their luck.
04:55What's the scum, Vanna? Guys, pin him.
04:59God! Get the hell off me!
05:09Oh, saving for a rainy day, huh?
05:13I'll take this. Hardly enough to cover the rent, but it's a start.
05:17No, please. It's tips from deliveries. I'm saving up to buy my girlfriend a gift.
05:20Just leave it, please. I'll pay up as soon as possible.
05:23A gift for your girlfriend. I'm definitely keeping this, then.
05:27You know, Alex, why don't you just leave this place, huh?
05:33You can't afford this place, Alex.
05:35I grew up here. With my mom.
05:41This place reminds me of her. It's the only thing I have left of her and her memories.
05:46Too bad. You're behind on your rent.
05:49It's time you left. The Brennans like their money, and you're not paying.
05:52I'll pay you whatever new price you're ready to charge it to me.
05:55Just give me back that money, though.
05:57All right, guys. He's had enough. But I'm keeping this cash. Let's go.
06:09Alex! Are you going to say hi?
06:12Hey.
06:13What's with the attitude? Just because everyone thinks you're trash doesn't mean you have to act like it.
06:18Trash?
06:19I heard about your money problems. Can't even pay rent.
06:23And Kathy's birthday is coming up.
06:26What are you going to do?
06:27All thanks to you.
06:28Look, Daddy's men were just doing what they were told.
06:32The offer's still open.
06:34The job.
06:35You won't have to be a broke a** anymore.
06:38Plus, if you work for us, nobody will bother you for rent.
06:43What do you think?
06:44Fine.
06:46Okay.
06:47Smart decision, Alex.
06:49So when are you breaking up with Kathy?
06:51I genuinely love Kathy.
06:54I'm not breaking up with her. There's no way.
06:56Is there any way we can make this work without the break-up?
06:58Absolutely not.
07:00Either forget Kathy, or forget the job.
07:03No job's good enough to break up with Kathy.
07:06Especially not one with her trash family.
07:08Alex, listen up.
07:09Hey!
07:10What's going on, guys?
07:11Just talking to your boyfriend here.
07:14What do you even see in a loser like him?
07:16Loser?
07:17Watch what you say, Rose.
07:18Oh, give up the joke!
07:20How long are you going to be a sugar mommy for this piece of trash?
07:23Just because your father is rich doesn't mean you get to treat people like they're nothing.
07:26Oh, honey.
07:27Alex is nothing.
07:31Ask him.
07:32He doesn't have a single penny on him.
07:35And he's two months behind on rent.
07:37My father owns the building that he stays in.
07:40What?
07:41He'll be out on the streets in no time.
07:45Enjoy the rest of your life with a loser.
07:51Listen to me.
07:54I don't think you should come inside.
07:56Okay.
07:58Why?
07:59I think we should break up.
08:02I'm not happy anymore.
08:04And I'm tired of everyone making fun of me for being with you.
08:07Since when do you care what other people think about me?
08:10I think.
08:11It's not just that, Alex.
08:13It's the money.
08:14I'm sick and tired of paying for everything all the time.
08:17You don't even try to chip in anymore.
08:19This is not the life that I had imagined with my boyfriend.
08:22I just need a little more time.
08:24My position in life is going to change.
08:26Everything will be different.
08:29All I'm asking for is just a little more patience, Cathy.
08:34Patience?
08:35You don't think I've been patient with you?
08:37How much longer do you expect me to be this way?
08:40If I keep spending money like this, I'll go broke in six months.
08:45I like you, Alex.
08:48But I don't want to live the rest of my life in poverty.
08:51Everyone was right.
08:54You are a loser.
08:56And I deserve better.
09:11Do you believe me?
09:13A lot.
09:15Promise me you will reveal your secret to anyone, okay?
09:28Sir, can I be of assistance?
09:31I'm here to check my bank balance.
09:34Check your balance?
09:36Do you have a card?
09:38Well, no.
09:40I'm a waiter.
09:44Stop! Don't move!
09:58Hello.
09:59Hey, what's that?
10:01Can I help you?
10:03You know, I am the customer manager of this branch.
10:07And I am responsible for 31 VIPs.
10:11I know them all like the back of my hand.
10:14You, I do not know.
10:16Is there anything you need?
10:18I'm here to check my money.
10:21Do you have one of our cards?
10:23No.
10:24Well, sir, I can't give you access if you do not have a card.
10:29Do you require anything else?
10:32Don't you have fingerprint recognition here?
10:35Sir?
10:36Alex.
10:37Alex.
10:39The fingerprint ID system is reserved for only the wealthiest families and businesses.
10:46Only a few people have registered their fingerprints in the system, at least in this New York branch.
10:52As far as I know, no one has ever even used it to access their holdings.
10:56I'd like to use it.
10:58I see.
10:59I'm here to give you access.
11:02Do you have access?
11:05Yes.
11:08Place your thumb on the screen.
11:14Access denied.
11:18Wait, wait, wait. Let me try my index finger. Maybe it's the wrong fingerprint.
11:21What is your plan here?
11:22Your thumb doesn't work, so you try your index finger.
11:24And then if your index finger doesn't work, you try your middle finger.
11:27And then when you run out of fingers, you're going to start using your toes.
11:30Sir, if you don't leave now, I will call the police.
11:33Access granted.
11:36Mr. Ambrose, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I'm Robert Miller.
11:41I'm the manager of the New York branch.
11:45Please, is there any way I can assist you?
11:48It's fine. Can I see how much money I have left in the account?
11:51Yes, of course. Of course.
11:53Your balance is 86 million dollars.
11:59Oh, you have other holdings as well.
12:02Let me take a look.
12:03You see, the surveillance screen shows where your physical holdings are.
12:07Everywhere. As you can see.
12:12All right. Is that it?
12:15Yes. Let me give you one of our cards.
12:20How much money would you like to withdraw?
12:23I don't wish to withdraw any money. Just the card for now is fine.
12:30You're welcome.
12:47Hey, Alex. Is that your girlfriend right there?
12:50You wonder what she's going to do with Billy tonight.
12:52Excuse me. He's not my boyfriend anymore.
12:54Billy, let's go.
12:56Let's go.
12:58Are you out of your mind?
13:01I can't believe you would show up to a charity event looking homeless.
13:05You're going to ruin my father's good name.
13:08You know what, Rose?
13:10I think I do have some unfinished business with the Brannetts.
13:12Oh, yeah? What are you going to do?
13:14You're nothing.
13:16You can't hurt me, Alex.
13:18Who gives a damn about you?
13:21Thank you all for coming tonight.
13:23And now the reports.
13:25We are 75% on our way to finally putting that roof on that orphanage.
13:30Mr. Alexander Ambrose. What can I do for you?
