Short filmTranscript
00:00All right, here are some options. Some really lovely young ladies for you to
00:04choose from. Ah, she's so pretty. Right? Mom, I don't want to use my marriage as a way
00:13to grow the company. But our business partners in Dubai value family. What kind
00:19of girl do you like exactly? I'll only marry a girl if she meets three
00:22criteria. Let's hear it. First, she has to be beautiful. Second, she has to be
00:27independent. And finally, she has to be okay with not spending any time with me
00:33or me coming home at all. Ryan, are you serious? Yes, I am. Hold on. There might be
00:40someone like that. Ryan, you're getting married.
00:47Who is she? A student of mine who has liked you since she was a child, but she
00:53hasn't seen you in years. She is the sweetest girl in the world.
00:58Hi, you look so beautiful. Thank you. Hi, I'm Kathy. Congratulations, you're married.
01:08Congratulations to you too, I guess. I can't believe you agreed to all those
01:12ridiculous conditions. Do you not remember me? You saved me from those
01:17bullies when we were little. I fell in love with you. I remember a thing. Well,
01:22you may not remember, but to me it felt like yesterday. I gotta go. Look, I don't
01:29love you. My mom chose you, so if you need anything, just look for her, not me.
01:45Hey. Hi, Kathy. Thank you so much. The court overruled in my favor, so I'm finally
01:51able to leave this abusive marriage. That is great. How are you feeling? Are you
01:55still hurting? Mia, did you have the boss reject my application again? No, just
02:00take your little peasant and leave this law firm now. If you have time to run
02:05your mouth, you have time to study to become a better lawyer.
02:10Are you okay? Yeah. You can let me go now, though, because people are watching. I got
02:30distracted. The CEO of Stellar Tech here in person? I have to get him before Mia
02:36does. Are you looking for legal advice? I'm the best lawyer here. I'm looking for
02:41help with my divorce. An intern? Best lawyer my ass. Well, just give me a chance.
02:47I promise you'll be impressed. I could give you a discount if you'd like. We're
02:52here to see your top lawyer, Mia. Good thing I used the name Mia when I joined.
02:57I don't want to rely on my husband's name. And who might this lady be? This is
03:07Mia, the top lawyer at the firm. She's never lost a divorce case before. Then
03:12surely you can help me divorce a woman I haven't seen in the last four years, right?
03:15Consider the case already won. I never met my wife after we married. It was all
03:21for the sake of business cooperation. Wait, that sounds familiar. Ryan's a busy
03:27man, so he won't have time to handle this himself. Ryan? I don't think I caught your
03:32last name. Ryan Jones. My husband? My CEO husband who left four years ago? Ryan
03:41Jones. You're Ryan Jones? I knew it. So you guys have hooked up before, huh? Don't be
03:49ridiculous. You know I was in Canada for the last four years. I've never met a woman.
03:53Stella said Ryan's been in Dubai for the past four years and doesn't know when
03:58he'll be back. When he returns, I'll talk to him about our divorce too. Just leave
04:03everything to me. I will be sure to get you the results that you want.
04:08Sorry, I have to take this. Ryan, you told me you were in Dubai, but you've been in Canada this whole time?
04:22If I told you where I was, you'd tell my so-called wife and then she'd come looking for me.
04:27Kathy is your wife. Now that you're back, you have to make up for your absence to her.
04:31I'm busy right now. You have been hiding for four years. You will see her tonight
04:35at dinner. I don't love her. Don't you see how unfair this is for both of us?
04:41You won't know until you get to know her at least.
04:46Fine. I'll go. Good. I'll send you her number. Treat her to a nice dinner.
04:57A beauty, competent and kind. If only she were my wife.
05:05Hi, Stella. Kathy, you didn't answer my call, so I'm calling you on your work line.
05:28That's okay. What's going on? Ryan is back. He's finally back? It's probably just to get a
05:36divorce, right? Of course not. This time, I'm going to make sure he throws you a grand wedding
05:42and puts a diamond ring on your finger. The ring that you gave me is more than enough, Stella.
05:47Besides, didn't you say he doesn't like spending money on women? He just said that to scare you
05:52off. Come to his house tonight. I have a big surprise for you. Okay. I'll be there.
05:59Wow. What was I thinking? Hello?
06:13Could that be a client? Yeah, you humiliated me. I'm gonna make you pay.
06:23Hello? How can I help you? This is Ryan Jones, your husband. I'm sure my mom already told you
06:31I'm back. You're not calling about a legal consultation? No. I'm calling about a divorce.
06:37Divorce? This marriage means nothing, and you know that. It's time to end it. Ryan Jones is me
06:44as a husband? How can they be married but never have seen each other?
06:50Well, it does hurt me to hear you say that. With money you want, I'm sure I can satisfy you.
06:56Fine. We can divorce. Let's meet at noon tomorrow.
07:04Oh, Nia. I'm gonna take your husband. Someone like you doesn't deserve him.
07:14Yeah. I am so sorry. Something's come up. Can we discuss the case another time?
07:32That's not very professional of you. I apologize. I just need to go. It's urgent.
07:37Maybe I can have one of my colleagues assist you with the case. Sorry.
07:43I swear to God, the way you look at each other. You can joke about me. Show some respect to Nia.
07:54Oh, now you're getting protective. I knew you had a thing for her. I've only just met her.
07:59So? You're getting a divorce soon. You should just go for her.
08:03If I did find someone I actually like, maybe mom would finally just give up.
08:13Stella? I just got out of the car. Okay. I'm gonna do my best to get along with him. Don't worry.
08:44Okay.
09:00What is all of this?
09:08Is this all for me?
09:10These gifts are all from Ryan. It's his way of saying sorry.
09:15He even bought that dress in your size. He really does care about me.
09:21He has another surprise waiting for you upstairs. The third room down the hallway.
09:25Take a look. I'll talk to you later, okay?
09:40What are you doing?
09:52What are you doing in my room?
09:56Your mother told me you had a surprise for me. Can you let me go now, please?
10:05So, you're my wife.
10:08Yeah, that's me. It's really dark in here. Can we turn on a light?
10:16What is she trying to do? It doesn't matter. I just need to get rid of her.
10:19Oh, I think I found it. Here it is. What are you doing? Is this part of my surprise?
10:27I thought we were talking about the divorce tomorrow. Why are you here now?
10:31Who said anything about a divorce?
10:33Let me make it clear again. We're meeting and finalizing the divorce tomorrow at noon.
10:43I thought you called me over here because you wanted to see me.
10:46This marriage was a mistake from the start. Divorce is the only way out. Get out of my room.
10:52Fine. I'm leaving.
10:57Why was she so surprised when I mentioned divorce?
11:04I need to divorce that woman before my mom returns.
11:26Hey, I drafted up a divorce agreement. Take a look.
11:36No need. I trust your ability.
11:42Given the current circumstances,
11:43600,000 should be enough to avoid any future entanglements.
11:47Sipa?
11:58Sorry, just give me a second.
12:03Let me help.
12:17I'm so sorry. I did not mean to do that.
12:20It's fine.
12:25You know, if my wife doesn't give up, I might need you to step in. Act as my girlfriend.
12:30I don't think that's a very good idea. I mean, I'm married.
12:37If you weren't married, would you ever consider me?
12:40Don't make fun of me. I'm a professional. No, I'm very happily married.
12:47Ryan's wife is Karen? Seriously? Why didn't she say anything at the office?
13:06Why are they together? Has Ryan found out Mia's his wife?
13:09She's my wife? Wow, I really didn't expect that.
13:22It's you.
13:23Babe, this was supposed to be a private meeting between us.
13:26I didn't say anything when we met earlier in the office because I wanted to keep this between us.
13:33Why would you bring someone else?
13:34I'm here for the divorce, not a date. Mia, hand her the papers.
13:39Take a look at these terms and let me know if you have any objections. If not, please sign.
13:44You bitch, I won't sign this garbage agreement.
13:47Show some respect to my lawyer.
13:49Respect? She slept her way to this position. You really think she has any real talent?
13:55Cut the crap and name your price.
13:58I want half your assets. Transfer the money and I'll disappear.
14:01What makes you think you deserve half my assets?
14:03Well, I don't mind staying your wife forever.
14:07I'm going to lose my patience, so you better come up with some reasonable terms quickly.
14:10Ryan, just let me handle this. You should leave.
14:13Mom, are you happy now? What a mess you got me into.
14:18Take a seat.
14:22Right, Karen, what is it going to take for you to sign this divorce agreement?
14:29What is it going to take for you to sign this divorce agreement?
14:36Ryan's a billionaire, and he'll still be one after I take half his money.
14:41Right, but Ryan was a billionaire far before you ever married him.
14:45Six hundred thousand dollars is a great offer.
14:47I don't need you to tell me what I deserve.
14:50In that case, I will just see you in court. I'm looking forward to it.
14:55You're trying to steal his money, aren't you? You're trying to steal my husband.
15:00You are pathetic. You are a failure of a lawyer and a failure of a gold digger.
15:05Yeah, run away. See what happens.
15:15You bitch! This dress costs $30,000!
15:19I can't risk being exposed. I need to shut up.
15:25For good.
15:31You know, I feel like if you had really gone for it, she would have just knocked out.
15:39Thank you. Oh, he's so nice.
15:42The settlement. I know we didn't get her to agree, but she will. Dinner is on me tonight.
15:50I have faith. I have faith in you, okay? I know you're gonna get me out of this misery.
15:56Yes, I am.
15:57Yes, you are.
16:04Mia, if only you weren't married.
16:07Is that you? My husband?
17:07What the hell happened? Did we...
17:22Hello? Okay, I'll be at the firm in 10 minutes. Okay.
17:37No.
17:47Mia? Where are you going?
17:54Mia? Where are you going?
17:59I gotta go. We both drank a lot last night, so let's just pretend that didn't happen, okay?
18:06But I'll check in with you about the case, yeah? See ya!
18:11Bye.
18:25Then it's my treat. No one's ever paid for me before.
18:30Now, I heard you stayed here all night with a woman, huh? So who's your new girlfriend?
18:37I don't have a girlfriend. Yeah, it was Mia. Yeah, look, let's go. Let's go. I need you to take me somewhere.
18:55Thank God nothing else happened last night. That was so much fun.
18:58Thank God nothing else happened last night. That was so unprofessional of me.
19:01I heard she's been sleeping with her clients.
19:09Get out of my way, Karen. Oh, Mia, I can't believe you would stoop so low.
19:14What?
19:18So many of us looked up to you here, but it seems like your skills in bed are more impressive than your skills in court.
19:35Defamation and privacy violation have huge consequences, Karen. And you should know that as a lawyer.
19:40Oh, I have nothing to lose. In case you didn't know, I'm Ryan Jones's wife.
19:46Karen, you're married to billionaire Ryan Jones?
19:49Well, I wanted to keep it low-key, but Mia kept stealing my cases.
19:54Karen, you kept that under wraps? Maybe you can help the firm secure his cases.
19:59Of course I can. But first, you should get rid of her before she ruins our reputation.
20:04Oh, us? You know my character. And besides, they're about to get divorced anyway.
20:07Oh, no, no. The proof is right there. And you're still denying it?
20:11No, these are not proof. I could photoshop you 12 of these right now.
20:15That's enough, Mia. I'm sure you can easily find another firm.
20:19You're firing me right now because of these photos and the fact that she's married to Ryan Jones?
20:24You'll be getting a court summons soon. Kiss your law license goodbye.
20:28That's enough! Everybody, back to your desk. Mia, let's go wrap up your exit paperwork.
20:35Ryan? Ryan?
20:52Ryan? Oh, it is so good to see you here.
20:56Are you delusional? We're not that close.
20:58Sir, are you and Karen having a fight?
21:01Fight? I don't even know her.
21:03Mia, I need to talk to you. Let's go to the conference room.
21:05Sorry, Ryan, but I actually just got fired for seducing clients.
21:10Seducing clients? That's absurd.
21:13What's going on? It seems like Ryan Jones doesn't even like Karen.
21:15Okay, mind your business. Just get lost.
21:19Babe, I am also a lawyer. Let me help you.
21:22You want to help? Sign the divorce agreement. Look, I only want Mia to handle my case.
21:26Mia, let's go somewhere else.
21:28Mia, you are seducing my husband! Why would you do this to me?
