Short filmTranscript
00:00These are all so good, I don't know how we're going to decide.
00:16Brian?
00:17Are you okay?
00:19You haven't tried any of them.
00:26This one is my favorite.
00:28I'll go with the vanilla.
00:29You know, it's my wedding, so I will be making the decisions.
00:33I'm not actually sure why you insisted on coming today.
00:37When were you planning on telling her?
00:39Uh, Astrid, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:45Out with it, Brian.
00:48Astrid?
00:49I'm pregnant with Brian's baby.
00:57That is not funny.
00:58I'd hate to be the one to break it to you, but Brian and I will be getting married in
01:04a couple of weeks, instead of you.
01:07So I'm assuming that you won't be needing a plus-one.
01:12Astrid, I'm sorry.
01:18You're sorry?
01:21You're sorry?!
01:22Five years, Brian!
01:23Five years!
01:24Down the drain!
01:25I've been paying your rent to help you with your business, and I've been helping you with
01:33your mom when she's sick, are you fucking kidding?
01:36Oh my god, stop being so dramatic.
01:39Look, I already packed your shit from his apartment.
01:42It's at the dump.
01:44Where you belong.
01:54Adam, I'll move my meeting to Monday and not for the evening as of...
02:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
02:54Sir, Madam asked that I keep an eye on you, in case you try to run away again.
03:04I appreciate that, Mason, but I'm just going to use the bathroom.
03:13Is that an issue?
03:17Give me your vest, give me your pants.
03:44Keep the suit.
03:51Oh my god.
03:54It has to be worth like ten thousand.
03:57She'll let more men strip me naked.
04:01Oh my god, sorry.
04:05Astrid?
04:09It really is her.
04:11It really is her.
04:19Hi.
04:20Hi.
04:22Can I, can I walk you home?
04:25And she looks horrified to see me.
04:29I guess that makes sense considering she's my ex.
04:32And I was the one who broke her heart.
04:34Ryder?
04:36Ryder Van Woodson, what the hell are you doing here?
04:41Ryder Van Woodson.
04:43What the hell are you doing here?
04:48You're not Ryder.
04:49What?
04:50Sorry.
04:51Oh my god.
04:52She doesn't recognize that it's me.
04:53You are this spitting image of this evil ex of mine from high school.
04:59But more buff, for sure.
05:02Oh my god.
05:03I've had enough drama for one day to have to deal with that old flame.
05:05You broke up with me.
05:06Randomly crushed me in two million.
05:08If only you knew the truth about why I broke up with you.
05:10I'm flabbering.
05:11I guess it wouldn't hurt to be a good old friend to Clyde for a little bit.
05:14She looks like she really is your friend.
05:16Well, I'm sorry you had a horrible day on behalf of my apparently skinnier and less handsome doppelganger.
05:22Can I offer you a drink?
05:24Yes.
05:25You're a godsend, Clyde.
05:27A drink is exactly what I came here for.
05:30A Long Island, please.
05:32A Long Island coming right up.
05:34Speaking of dumb reasons to get dumbed, I actually just got dumbed like 15 minutes ago.
05:40Two weeks before our wedding.
05:42I was pregnant.
05:44You're pregnant?
05:46He dumped you because of a baby?
05:48No.
05:49He knocked out my stepsister.
05:50Oh my god.
05:52We've been together for five years and how much of that time was he pinning down my stepsister?
05:57I mean, am I so just worthless of a girlfriend?
06:01Thank you.
06:02The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with has just been with my stepsister.
06:10That's a very weird tasting Long Island.
06:12That is the special.
06:16You know, maybe you're supposed to be with someone who actually wants to cherish you.
06:20Someone, from the moment that they laid eyes on you, knew that you'd be the one for them.
06:27That is a horrible drink.
06:30No offense.
06:32But that is hitting, so thank you.
06:38Um, hi.
06:40My baby.
06:42I just heard.
06:45Ryder.
06:47What are you doing here?
06:50What are you doing here?
06:56I know.
06:58Very similar looking to Ryder.
07:01Clyde.
07:02Clyde.
07:03Adam.
07:04Adam.
07:05Clyde.
07:06Ryder.
07:07Ryder is this asshole CEO.
07:10He's got buckets and buns of money.
07:14He wouldn't need to be bartending to some drunk folk like us.
07:18Can I actually get another one of those please?
07:20Um.
07:22Yeah, my mistake.
07:24Right.
07:25Um.
07:26But how are you doing?
07:28Men are stupid, you know?
07:31Just one too many you've had to deal with this evening.
07:39Since you asked, personally, I am peachy.
07:44I can see that.
07:46Honey bunny, why don't we get you home now, okay?
07:50And maybe let's stop sitting next to the man that looks like your ex before someone sees you.
07:57We should take a selfie.
07:59Can we? Can we?
08:00Clyde, come on.
08:01Pretend to be Ryder, would you?
08:02Let's take a selfie.
08:03Come here.
08:07Alright.
08:08Time to go.
08:09Okay.
08:10Goodnight, Mr. Dean.
08:11My bag.
08:12Get your bag.
08:14I owe you one.
08:15Up to no good, you are.
08:18Alright, come on.
08:19Here we go.
08:25Okay, will you just cross?
08:27Cross, but careful of the.
08:29Okay.
08:30Alright.
08:31Alright, alright, alright.
08:32It was good to see you one more time, Astrid.
08:35If I could do that.
08:36Are you good?
08:37Are you good?
08:38If I could do that.
08:39Are you good?
08:40Are you good?
08:43I don't want you to have to stay with him any longer than is necessary.
08:46No, you are so right.
08:47Yes.
08:48Thank you very much.
08:54Of course, you'd be there.
08:59The one place I have left to sleep.
09:01Why are you here?
09:03Well, I couldn't actually go to my ex-fiance's place.
09:07Well, thanks to you, Gina.
09:09Some stepsister.
09:10You are.
09:11So.
09:13Actually, I had nowhere else to go.
09:16So you got kicked out of Brian's.
09:18And you come to my mom's place to sleep?
09:22Are you serious?
09:23I mean, go be a homeless bum somewhere else.
09:27Get out.
09:28You are no daughter of mine.
09:31You were an asshole to me.
09:33And you were an asshole to Brian.
09:35That's why he did not want anything to do with you.
09:39Luckily, Gina was able to keep his wealth in the family.
09:42No thanks to you.
09:44Really?
09:46Really.
09:48And my dad?
09:49Who's been in the hospital?
09:51In and out for the last five years.
09:53Have either of you ever dared to lift a finger to try to help?
09:59No.
10:00I didn't think so.
10:02I'm going to bed.
10:03Oh, you are not sleeping here.
10:07Okay, I'm not sleeping here.
10:10It's not like I enjoy being in your presence.
10:15Probably get contaminated with whatever sticks up both of your butts.
10:19Like mother, like daughter, right?
10:24You come into my house.
10:25You are under my roof.
10:27You will show me respect.
10:29Respect is earned.
10:34You've done nothing to earn my respect.
10:39Get out.
10:40I don't ever want to see you again.
10:46Oh, but you will see me again at Gina's grand wedding.
10:51With my new man.
10:53Who's actually richer than Brian.
10:56Oh, yeah, right.
10:58Like who?
11:02Ryder Van Woodson.
11:04Ryder Van Woodson.
11:09Okay, Ryder dumped you in high school.
11:12Why would he be interested in someone like you?
11:15You don't deserve someone like him.
11:18I guess you're just going to have to wait and see on your big date, Gina.
11:22Me and my hot new date.
11:24I'm going to go pack my shit and leave.
11:29How is that possible?
11:32Mom, Ryder Van Woodson, the heir of the Van Woodson group?
11:36I don't believe that little bitch.
11:47I have nowhere to go.
11:49Except maybe my dad's at the hospital, but that's a far walk.
11:55I have to convince Ardender Clyde to go with me as Ryder to the wedding.
12:03Astrid, you are just full of great drunk ideas.
12:20Why are you here?
12:22Oh, good, you're home.
12:24I wanted to ask you, how was your date with little Miss Dolly?
12:27Spectacular.
12:28Really?
12:29No, Mom, I was being sarcastic.
12:31Then why didn't you just say so?
12:33Would you please, can you please just stop setting me up on these blind dates?
12:38Ryder, you know why I'm doing this. You need an heir.
12:42My head is throbbing, Mom.
12:44Did you take your medication today?
12:46No.
12:47Figures.
12:50So are you going to stop?
12:52No.
12:54We need someone capable to run the business, okay?
12:57Just in case...
13:01In case I die?
13:09In case I die?
13:11I was going to say, in case you are no longer able to do it all alone.
13:20We did a number of tests on your son, Mrs. Van Woodson.
13:24And I'm sorry to inform you that Ryder has a brain tumor.
13:34Now, we can discuss some treatment options.
13:39At the moment, the cancer has taken over a portion of his brain that we don't feel is safe to operate.
13:50What?
14:03Ryder! Ryder!
14:06Yeah? Well, don't you worry about me. I can handle it.
14:12Yeah, well...
14:15Ryder, are you alright?
14:20Honey? Honey, are you alright?
14:24Oh, you're having an episode, honey. We have to go to the hospital.
14:41Here.
14:44You doing okay? You wandered in here very drunk last night.
14:51Brian cheated on me with Gina.
14:54I'm so sorry, honey.
14:59Oh, morning, half-lung.
15:02I'm sorry, what did you just call my dad?
15:05So, there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care.
15:10New doctor in sight was needed.
15:13I'm sorry, you're telling me that you changed the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you could gouge more money from us?
15:19I am literally already homeless. What, are you taking like another 10,000?
15:2350,000, most likely.
15:25And what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here, you can find another hospital to bitch at.
15:41Brian?
15:47Are you there?
15:51Brian?
15:54Brian?
15:58Brian?
16:01Brian?
16:03Brian?
16:05Brian?
16:06Brian?
16:07Dad?
16:08What did you just call my dad so there have been some changes with the insurance coverages on your dad's provided care
16:15Your doctor insight was needed. I'm sorry
16:18You're telling me that you change the doctor to someone that wasn't under our coverage so you could gouge more money from us
16:23I am literally already homeless. What are you taking like another 10,000?
16:2850,000 most likely and what I'm telling you is that if you're unhappy with the provided care here
16:34You can find another hospital to bitch at
16:38You
16:53Adam I need you to yes. Good morning, Adam
16:58Okay enough. I'll see you when I get in the office right now. I need you to look into I
17:04I slept at the hospital with my dad. She's fine. So obviously not sustainable
17:13Yeah, I'd also really like to have a place in case he gets discharged
17:23But the in-laws have taken the refuge here as well, you know, I'm
17:29Let me call you back. Okay
17:33Hey
17:38How do you know Astrid
17:40She's been my best friend since college
17:43Why are you trying to get buddy-buddy with Astrid under an alias?
17:49She needs a place to stay right? She spent the night at the hospital with her dad. You didn't answer my question
17:55Who is Astrid to you? Mr. Van Woodson? No
17:59And no, no, no, no, no, don't give me that you were giving me those googly eyes begging me not to reveal who you are
18:06So, mr. Van Woodson
18:08What are you doing with Astrid? I know you two dated. That's why I haven't told her I work for you. I
18:16Just want to help her
18:18That's all she needed a friend she has a friend you sir not a friend
18:24You are an ex of hers who ripped out her heart and ate it for breakfast I had no choice
18:31We all make choices
18:33You had yours
18:35Choice is an illusion
18:37Now back to what I was saying. She needs a place to stay, right?
18:54Moving in with a stranger who looks exactly like your ex is totally normal. Come on
19:13Hey Astrid, he even sounds like him
19:18Astrid yeah
19:21Okay, of course I will
19:43Rider
19:44Sorry Clyde. I called you writer again
19:48It's okay
20:01Adam said he needed a roommate. I just happened to need one as well. Yeah weird coincidence
20:07Um
20:11About the other night I was very drunk and I'm a bartender. Don't worry about it. I
20:19Actually prepped us some dinner. I hope you like salmon
20:38Oh, sorry, um, what's wrong? Can you actually what's wrong?
20:49Are you okay? Sorry. No, don't be sorry. Okay
21:08Do you do you want to talk about it? No, I'd rather not I understand
21:25Um, I do have to ask you something yeah sure ask away I
21:31I
21:33Might have told my stepmom and step sister that I was going to the wedding with right around Woodson
21:39I showed them that selfie that I took with you
21:42You don't have to but if you'd be willing to go and pretend to be right around Woodson
21:55Sure, really you would do that. I mean, I don't see why not free food and drinks, right?
22:01Yeah, I mean I've been planning for it to be an open bar
22:06Then you're gonna have to brief me on you and writers relationship
22:12Sure, I mean he was a skinny kid not at all your physique
22:20Anyway, yeah, we had a
22:23Really loving relationship. We were
22:26completely inseparable
22:28Talking about moving in together starting our futures
22:31very serious stuff for we seventeen-year-olds, but
22:35Should have known one day. He would just be a dick
22:40Check and check
22:44If only she knew that I would just be showing up as myself
22:54What are you here for this son?
22:56Yes. Well, I came to see how he was doing
23:00Still sick and dying. Oh good. I would hate for my husband to recover
23:06Anyways, I need a favor from you. I need a certain medication
23:23I'll pay you extra for it. Wait
23:27Here got just what you need
23:35Stupid old man
23:38Your daughter wasn't worth saving you should have just let her
23:45Collected the insurance money and run off together
23:49But you had to be the stubborn hero didn't you?
23:53Lost all your money to medical bills
24:10Yeah, what's up?
24:12The doctor you wanted me to look into? Yeah, it turns out. Dr
24:18Daniel Evans has no background as a medical care professional
24:22In fact, he has a criminal background selling drugs
24:37Come on, where are you going? I'm kicking a drug dealers ass. Are you joining me or not?
24:51You
25:01After Daniel Evans
25:05Yeah
25:08I've seen well
25:12Hello
25:14Oh
25:20You're the bastard that's been smoking outside the room with a man suffering from lung failure
25:28Yo
25:33Termination papers you'll be serving jail time for perpetuating patient symptoms and a reckless behavior while within the hospital walls
25:39You'll soon be charged with selling the hospital's narcotics the police are outside waiting to escort you
25:46I'm Ryder van Woodson
25:51Good luck selling drugs in jail, bitch
25:58Thank you so much, okay you too
26:01My dad is admitted to just called and said that all of my bills have been paid off by a mystery donor
26:07And he's being transferred to a better care unit free of charging costs. That is awesome news. I
26:13feel like I can
26:15Breathe now. This is like the most relief. I fell in a decade
26:20And now now I can start planning to buy my house. Oh, you want to buy my house? Yeah
26:25Well, I mean that's the only thing I can do
26:28You want to buy my house, yeah, well, I mean that's a plan we'll see I don't earn enough right now to do that

27:35Okay
27:46Maybe this was a mistake
27:50She's going to find out who I am if my memory issues continue
27:55And it's not like I can remember what I can't remember I
28:01Don't remember the wedding at all. Yeah, that doesn't matter. But what if I lose my memories of her?
