Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Hey, this is Richard Allenton, I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave a message.
00:00:15Hey Grandpa, it's one thing to set me up on a bunch of blind dates with these goody-two-shoe
00:00:21women, but to trick me into thinking I'm coming to a business meeting that's actually a blind
00:00:27date, that's low. Let's hope this one's different. I don't even know what to say to this guy.
00:00:37I don't know how to talk to rich people. Be sexy? Darling, just act better than everyone
00:00:45else in the room. And being sexy is easy. Bite your lip, push up the girls. It works
00:00:52every time. Wait, what about girls? And don't forget, these rich men get bored easily,
00:00:58so challenge them, be bold, and put them on the spot. I don't think I can do this. The
00:01:04sooner you steal the code for Ellington's new AI tech, the sooner I pay you for your
00:01:09mother's surgery. It's your call.
00:01:40Are you going to stare at me all night, or be a gentleman and get my seat, big boy?
00:01:45Of course.
00:01:53Sorry, I've been set up with many girls before, but none like you. You're so...
00:02:00Rich? Sexy?
00:02:04Frankly, yes. Sorry, what was your name?
00:02:10Valentina Kingsley. And you are?
00:02:13Blaine Ellington, CEO of Ellington Incorporated.
00:02:18And this is a successful company? It's not ringing any bells.
00:02:24Waiter?
00:02:25Yes, Mr. Ellington.
00:02:26You still have the Chateau Petrus on the shelf, yes?
00:02:30Yes, of course.
00:02:31If so, we'll have two bottles.
00:02:34It's $60,000 per bottle, sir. You want two?
00:02:39Actually, I'm pretty thirsty. Better bring three.
00:02:44Yes, of course. Right away, sir.
00:02:51And what do you do, Valentina Kingsley?
00:02:54I invest.
00:02:56In what?
00:02:57In everything. What am I not investing in? Businesses? Charities?
00:03:07I see. And you live in the city?
00:03:11The city. The hills. My yacht. My private island. I'm everywhere, darling.
00:03:23You're so impressive. So unlike the other girls I've seen.
00:03:30Doesn't surprise me. I'm one of a kind, darling.
00:03:38You've got a little...
00:03:52Kurt?
00:03:53Kurt? What's my manager doing here?
00:03:57Blaine!
00:04:00My business dinner just ended. The presentation for the China branch.
00:04:03Looking good. Amazing. You're the best, Kurt.
00:04:05Well, I just won't keep you two. Just wanted to say hi.
00:04:10Rose petals for a business dinner?
00:04:11Ended up being a blind date.
00:04:13Classic.
00:04:15Alright, well, you two have fun.
00:04:18Okay.
00:04:23I've got to be honest with you.
00:04:27You're so unlike any of the girls I've been with. Would you like to come to my place?
00:04:33I can take this chance to get closer to the AI code.
00:04:35Absolutely, darling.
00:04:43Whoa.
00:04:46Welcome to my home.
00:04:48After you.
00:05:04Oh, my.
00:05:16You like what you see?
00:05:18You're getting there, darling.
00:05:20Nothing like the Calvin Klein model I dated, but...
00:05:24Well then, shall we get started?
00:05:29Not so fast.
00:05:32Okay, a little foreplay?
00:05:35I did not think this through at all.
00:05:37How am I supposed to find the drive when he's trying to suck my face off?
00:05:44Looking for something?
00:05:47Oh, um...
00:05:50Ah.
00:05:52I should have known that was your style.
00:05:55Oh, yes, darling.
00:05:58Ugh, I can't believe people are actually into this.
00:06:01I'm not used to being the one tied up. It's usually the other way around.
00:06:09Valentina?
00:06:11Patience, darling. I'm building the suspense.
00:06:15Ah, I see.
00:06:17Where could it be?
00:06:19Right. And you say guys actually like this?
00:06:23Oh, yes. It's very popular with the manly men in France.
00:06:31How long does it take for something to actually happen?
00:06:37That's... that's new.
00:06:39The painting! Maybe there's a safe behind there.
00:06:42Oh, uh, sorry, this painting caught my eye.
00:06:46It looks exactly like the one in my mansion in Sweden.
00:06:52It's where I keep my safe.
00:06:54Huh. People actually still hide things behind paintings?
00:06:58Thought that was only in the movies.
00:07:00Oh, no, it's quite popular.
00:07:03Where do you hide your luxurious safe-keeping?
00:07:06Where do you hide your luxurious safe-keepings?
00:07:11In a super, super, super secret hiding place.
00:07:14Ugh, come on.
00:07:18Now, why don't you come over here and get this thing started?
00:07:22Oh, uh, most unfortunate, I'm getting the utmost important business call, and I must take it.
00:07:29Right now? What? What about me?
00:07:33Valentina!
00:07:37Wait! Untie me!
00:07:44Ew. Really, Blaine?
00:07:47What?
00:07:48You and your models.
00:07:52Last night was not a model. I was actually impressed.
00:07:57Did I hear right? Blaine actually had a date he liked?
00:08:01It was fantastic.
00:08:03The other girls, they're so boring.
00:08:05But this one, she's a mystery I can't quite crack.
00:08:09I must see her again.
00:08:11Blaine, these dates aren't about you having sexy adventures.
00:08:15It's about you finding a wife you can settle down with and running the company.
00:08:22Grandfather, listen to him.
00:08:25He's not ready to be the face of Ellington.
00:08:27I am much more qualified.
00:08:29You know, I'm done having this conversation with you, dear.
00:08:34No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Look, you do great work right where you are.
00:08:39Right? You weren't meant to be some CEO.
00:08:43No, but Blaine, Blaine will learn in time.
00:08:47Whatever.
00:08:49Have fun with your little girlfriend, Blaine.
00:08:52I have actual work to attend to.
00:08:54Oh.
00:08:57Yeah, yeah, thanks.
00:09:05Hello?
00:09:06How's our plan going, darling?
00:09:10To perfection.
00:09:13Charity has Blaine wrapped around her finger.
00:09:15It won't be long until he flips up and I can step in and take my throne as Ellington's CEO.
00:09:22Brilliant. It's all coming together perfectly.
00:09:26And the VR tech you're developing, it'll be ready in time when I trade the AI code, right?
00:09:30Oh, yes. It'll be ready.
00:09:32Soon we'll be queens of the tech world.
00:09:48What's he doing here?
00:09:49Speaking of girls, I think I know who would be perfect as your new assistant.
00:09:54Sorry.
00:09:55I'm fine.
00:09:58Ariel.
00:09:59How does he know my name?
00:10:01You dropped your badge.
00:10:09There you go.
00:10:11Thanks.
00:10:19Amazing.
00:10:22Are you playing hide and seek?
00:10:23Is that where you were laying?
00:10:24Can I hide next?
00:10:25No, I was dropping my mom off at the hospital.
00:10:28Oh, that was unexpectedly personal.
00:10:30Wait, oh my god, is she okay?
00:10:32Should I bring her a fruit basket?
00:10:33She's just getting some tests done.
00:10:35Oh, thank goodness.
00:10:37Hey, by the way, did you hear?
00:10:39Our new CEO is looking for a personal assistant.
00:10:42Are you going to apply?
00:10:43I'm good where I am.
00:10:44Not all the girls are applying.
00:10:45Everyone wants to get close to our boss.
00:10:47You're the best employee in our department, Ariel.
00:10:49I think this position is yours.
00:11:00He's gorgeous.
00:11:02I wouldn't mind looking at that hunk of man all day.
00:11:06Attention, everyone.
00:11:08My name is Blaine, and I'm the new CEO.
00:11:12I will try my best to live up to my father,
00:11:15but I ask for patience as I adjust to the new role.
00:11:19And since he is adjusting to this new role,
00:11:21I've decided to assign him a new assistant.
00:11:25Not me, not me, not me.
00:11:27Blaine, meet your new assistant, Ariel.
00:11:35All right, everyone, back to work.
00:11:45You look exactly like...
00:11:48Oh, my God, my cover's blown.
00:11:54Kurt described.
00:11:56Clean, organized desk.
00:11:59Confident composure.
00:12:01There'd be a pay raise, of course.
00:12:04This could get me closer to finding the code.
00:12:07When do I start?
00:12:09Perfect.
00:12:10First thing I need help with is this file.
00:12:13Oh, got to take a phone call.
00:12:16Send it to me in an email.
00:12:20Ariel, he wants to meet you again.
00:12:23Really?
00:12:25Also, I got you a second number.
00:12:27Just click the link to connect it,
00:12:28so from now on, you're the one he'll be calling.
00:12:32Great.
00:12:39New number, huh?
00:12:43Hello?
00:12:44Hello, Ariel?
00:12:45This is Dr. Westphal.
00:12:46We just got your mother's results.
00:12:53It's not what we hoped.
00:12:54So we need to move quickly
00:12:55if we want that experimental procedure to be a success.
00:12:59Okay, I understand.
00:13:01I'll come up with the money for it soon.
00:13:14Oh, perfect timing.
00:13:16I just finished dinner.
00:13:18Mom, you should be in bed.
00:13:20Honey, I'm fine.
00:13:22Besides, you've been working all day.
00:13:23You shouldn't have to cook for yourself.
00:13:25Mom, please.
00:13:26Honey, sit down.
00:13:38The doctor called.
00:13:40He says it's gotten worse.
00:13:41Hush, hush, hush.
00:13:42Hush.
00:13:43None of that talk, okay?
00:13:45Mom.
00:13:47Eat before your food gets cold.
00:13:56I'll be right back.
00:14:04It's time for the second date, darling.
00:14:07Are you ready?
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:12Mom, I have to leave for work.
00:14:15I'll make it to go.
00:14:32Oh, where am I?
00:14:38Valentina!
00:14:39Blaine!
00:14:42Darling, what is this dreadful place?
00:14:44Do you intend to have me killed?
00:14:46No, not at all.
00:14:48This place is special.
00:14:50Follow me.
00:15:03How many more?
00:15:04We're almost there.
00:15:05Come on.
00:15:10Come on.
00:15:21Wow.
00:15:31Would you look at that view?
00:15:35I bet you bring all your models up here.
00:15:37Just you, actually.
00:15:39I discovered this place after my father died.
00:15:43Your father died?
00:15:45Yeah.
00:15:46And I've been thrown into the CEO position, and, uh, I'm a bit in over my head.
00:15:53So, I never really get a chance to myself, except when I come here.
00:16:00I'm so sorry.
00:16:07My mom is sick.
00:16:10She needs experimental surgery.
00:16:17That's how it feels to want to get away.
00:16:21Yeah.
00:16:24I'm used to getting everything, but this is one thing that money can't buy.
00:16:31I'm so sorry about your mom.
00:16:33Thanks.
00:16:36She's all I've got.
00:16:39I don't want to say goodbye to her.
00:16:50Hey, who's out here?
00:16:56What's happening?
00:16:58Technically, we're not supposed to be up here.
00:17:00What?
00:17:01Run.
00:17:09Hey!
00:17:12Still.
00:17:18What was that?
00:17:19That was fun.
00:17:21Did Calvin Klein take you on any dates that adventurous?
00:17:24No, I suppose not.
00:17:28I haven't felt this way in a really long time.
00:17:32I feel like I can be myself around you.
00:17:36I feel the same way.
00:17:39Will you be my girlfriend, Valentina?
00:17:41That's right. I'm supposed to be Valentina. I can't do this to him.
00:17:48But I need to pay for my mom's surgery.
00:17:53I'd love to.
00:17:58Well, well, well.
00:18:01Martina, what are you doing here?
00:18:03I heard you were actually acting like a big boy CEO.
00:18:07Had to see it for myself.
00:18:10Well, that blind date went so well the other night, it got me thinking maybe Grandfather was right.
00:18:15Is that so?
00:18:17Blaine's got himself a little girlfriend?
00:18:20That's right.
00:18:21Wow. What's she like?
00:18:23She's funny, mysterious, confident, hardworking, charitable.
00:18:29She's the whole package.
00:18:30Sounds like one that Dad actually would have approved of. I'd love to meet her.
00:18:36Oh, sorry, Mr. Ellington. Is this a bad time?
00:18:39No, not at all. My sister just came to visit. Martina, this is my new assistant, Ariel.
00:18:45Martina, nice to meet you.
00:18:47Likewise. Glad to see my brother as someone to make sure this launch goes smoothly.
00:18:52Don't you worry. I got this.
00:18:54Don't you worry. I got this.
00:18:56Well, after you lost the keys to the Maserati, I'm not so sure that you won't lose this new AI tech that we need.
00:19:01I didn't lose the keys to the Maserati, and don't you worry. I've got the codes right here on this drive, and I'm keeping it safe.
00:19:10Glad to hear you're doing that. I have wasted enough time.
00:19:15Now you know exactly where it is. Get it.
00:19:40Alright, where's that drive?
00:19:48Are you kidding? There's nothing in here.
00:20:03They're coming in. Crap!
00:20:06How about we celebrate your China contract with a nice glass of whiskey?
00:20:09Oh, man.
00:20:10You don't twist my arm. You don't twist my arm.
00:20:14No, no, no.
00:20:21Oh, yeah.
00:20:26Sarah, cheers.
00:20:27Don't you guys have that meeting with China right now?
00:20:30Right.
00:20:31Right.
00:20:32Right.
00:20:33After then.
00:20:34Yeah.
00:20:42Phew. That was close.
00:20:49Hey, girlfriend. Can I ask your advice on something?
00:20:52Sure. What's going on?
00:20:54So, I have this friend who is having boy problems.
00:20:57Aren't we all?
00:20:58So, she has a crush on her boss, and she doesn't know what to do about it because of the whole workplace relationship thing.
00:21:04How did she find out I like Blaine?
00:21:06Wait, I don't like Blaine.
00:21:08But he deserves to know, though, right?
00:21:10You're gonna tell him?
00:21:11I mean, I don't know, because what if I tell Kurt I like him, and he doesn't like me, and then it's so totally awkward, and so he fires me because it's so totally awkward.
00:21:19Wait, you like Kurt?
00:21:22I gotta go. When? Ring, ring.
00:21:25Go when? Ring, ring. Oh, I'm getting a call.
00:21:30Ring, ring. Ring, ring. Ring, ring.
00:21:36Ariel.
00:21:37Yes, Mr. Allington?
00:21:39I need your personal help.
00:21:41Well, I am your personal assistant.
00:21:44I've never gotten a girl a gift.
00:21:46Wow, really?
00:21:48Um, I mean, yeah. First girlfriend, first gift. Checks out.
00:21:54So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:21:59I mean, yeah. First girlfriend, first gift. Checks out.
00:22:03So, I need your help to figure out which you think a woman would prefer.
00:22:19Oh my god, I'm gonna be wearing that?
00:22:23Sorry?
00:22:24Your girlfriend's gonna be wearing that?
00:22:26Yeah, it's pretty nice, right? Oh, I mean, it's option one. Do you think she'll like it?
00:22:33um
00:22:35Well, what's your girlfriend like? What are her?
00:22:39tastes
00:22:42Sophisticated generous gorgeous the whole world slows down whenever she walks into a room I
00:22:51See
00:22:54So keep that in mind
00:22:56option two
00:23:01And that's even more revealing than the first one, yeah
00:23:05This is bacon Europe between you and me. I'm written for this guy
00:23:09I see. Do you have anything more?
00:23:14Modest
00:23:16Hmm modest. Yeah, that
00:23:19Seems to be the style I've been seeing these days
00:23:23with the rich folk at least
00:23:26You know now that you say it. I think I do have something
00:23:34Aha, what do you think? I think she'd really like that
00:23:48Can I have a margarita
00:23:51You can't be serious darling
00:23:54She'll have a friend 75 of Konya
00:23:57Flora what are you doing here making sure you look the part?
00:24:01You want to make the money for your dear mother, don't you?
00:24:04Yes more than anything then you need to keep your eyes on the prize
00:24:09We need to get our hands on that code fast
00:24:12Once I do I can fund your mother's surgery, but until then we're in this together
00:24:17Yes
00:24:19Yeah
00:24:21Excellent
00:24:22now what's your game plan make him even more vulnerable and
00:24:27Get him to tell me where the code is and how do you suppose you'll do that?
00:24:34Be nice
00:24:39Your ignorance is both cute and annoying
00:24:42No, a man like Blaine Ellington is going to become vulnerable from two things
00:24:50drinking with him
00:24:52I'm going to bed with him
00:24:54right I
00:24:57Can I can do that I hope so because he's coming this way
00:25:03Get the code soon, honey for your mother, okay? Oh
00:25:12And darling have fun
00:25:19Valentina
00:25:22How are you
00:25:24Wonderful love I've been looking forward to this all day. Is that so indeed I?
00:25:30Was so distracted it affected my croquet score. No distracted over little old me. Yes, I
00:25:39Simply must know everything about you. Well. What would you like to know?
00:25:45Everything I don't know about everything it might take some time for me to open up well
00:25:52Maybe after a few drinks
00:25:54Only if you can keep up
00:25:56See, I don't really start talking until after a lot of drinking. Oh
00:26:01No, well here goes nothing
00:26:21You
00:26:24Know my sister is implying today that I should tell someone where my new AI code is because I forget stuff and
00:26:34Are you forgetful I mean
00:26:39Can you actually believe I lost the keys to a Maserati
00:26:43Yeah
00:26:45It cost me ten thousand dollars just to get them rekeyed
00:26:49Which is why I
00:26:52Should probably tell someone in case I do forget
00:26:56So maybe I should tell you because you're so awesome
00:27:00Trustworthy well if you'd like go ahead
00:27:04I'll tell you but first
00:27:11I'm gonna hit the men's room
00:27:14This
00:27:17Is it all I need to do is ask him where the code is and my mission is over
00:27:22Nothing can stop me now
00:27:24Ariel
00:27:26except my ex-boyfriend I
00:27:31Don't know what you're talking about darling. I don't know this
00:27:35Ariel no no no no no you are definitely Ariel

00:47:24Where I was thinking your house
00:47:32I
00:47:33Don't really like having people over at my house
00:47:36Well, if we hosted ourselves, it seems like a more
00:47:40Intimate event and then we could have it as soon as this weekend
00:47:46Makes sense
00:47:48Okay, let's do it great. I'll send up invitations
00:47:56She really knows this company inside and out what do you know about Ariel? What do you want to know?

00:53:09She's really helped Blaine become quite an impressive CEO. Yes. Yes. She has that guy can I
00:53:16Can see her playing a bigger role at Ellington if she keeps it up
00:53:20Why wait she could be a part of something huge tonight

00:57:54What the heck did I say I'll give you a hint if you were to look for it

01:09:21Just came here to congratulate you on your little events
01:09:25You need to leave actually, I don't think I do because I don't think you know who your little girlfriend is
01:09:32She's Valentina Kingsley. Oh, no, no
01:09:36There is no Valentina Kingsley
01:09:39What if only your little assistant had assisted you in?

01:10:15Ariel
01:10:29This whole time you've been Valentina, that's right this whole time
01:10:35You pretended to care about me, but you're just a liar and worse
01:10:41She's poor
01:10:43Why?

01:10:57You know, I
01:10:59Looked into you
01:11:01You're in so much debt that it's surprising that you can even rent the Lambo that you drove here

01:11:48No, he is your brother Martina
01:11:51He's a liability Richard and you are giving him the company with the luxury of not having to deal with this shit show
01:11:57Because you won't be alive much longer. Oh
01:12:00Don't bet on that, you know, you got a lot of nerve talking to me like this kid
01:12:06You've got a lot of nerve letting the ship go down when the lifeboat is right in front of you. I
01:12:11Should be running this company
01:12:14Or is this what success looks like to you?
01:12:17I
01:12:24Do not want you lied to me not only did you lie to me, but you embarrassed no one there that is
01:12:47A
01:13:02Disaster
01:13:06Don't understand why would she go through all that? I don't know but
01:13:13These scandals are exhausting. Yeah
01:13:17I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon
01:13:23Right
01:13:26I got a lot to think about
01:13:28What do you mean? I?
01:13:30Mean we may have to take the company in a complete different direction for in a game back the public's trust
01:13:37You can't be serious
01:13:39Oh
01:13:44Something better happen sooner, I guess much worse
01:13:49Did she want anything from you I don't know Martina nothing valuable Martina I said I don't
01:14:10Oh
01:14:29Ariel baby, oh
01:14:33You look like you had a rough night
01:14:37It was a disaster really
01:14:39I feel awful. Oh
01:14:42I'm so sorry to hear that, baby
01:14:45Thanks, mom
01:14:46Well, I have something to tell you dr. Westfall calls. Are you okay? What's going on?
01:14:54he
01:14:56Said that anonymous donor sent in the funds for me to have my operation
01:15:01What I'm scheduled for surgery on Tuesday
01:15:04God oh
01:15:09I'm so happy. I think this calls for my famous chocolate cake
01:15:34You
01:15:50It's time to celebrate to the future darling
01:15:56You
01:16:03Drink you've worked much too hard not to revel in your victory
01:16:10There is
01:16:12Doesn't our little prize look nice
01:16:16People walk in and out of my office having no idea what's in the room with them
01:16:21Of course I won't be able to enjoy too much longer since my programmer is going to pick it up tonight
01:16:27I guess I just feel bad
01:16:31To get what you want in life. Sometimes you have to do bold things break the rules a little I
01:16:39Guess
01:16:40Ask any CEO and they'll agree including your little boy toy
01:16:46Blaine would never do anything like that
01:16:49Well anyway
01:16:51Speaking of money, let's get that surgery paid for shall we?
01:16:55What all I need is your wiring info and I can send it on over. I
01:17:01Trust that the original estimate hasn't changed. I'm sorry. You haven't paid for the surgery yet
01:17:09No, that's why we're here, isn't it?
01:17:15Darling
01:17:18You

01:18:12You
01:18:17From who Ariel I
01:18:20Don't want it. Take it back. She said you might say that but she said that it was very very important. How important I
01:18:29Don't know but she did say that it was something so important that she only trusted me to deliver it
01:18:35So must be a big deal

01:21:27I knew you could do it. I know
01:21:30You know
01:21:32Your dad would be so proud of you
01:21:37You
01:21:45Dr. Westfall, oh hi Ariel. Hey surgery over. How did it go? Yes. We just finished there were
01:21:52Complications. Yes, but we were able to work through them and your mother's gonna be just fine
01:21:59Really? Yeah, really? Yes. In fact, they're wheeling her back into her room right now
01:22:03She's gonna need to rest for a few hours
01:22:06But when she wakes up, she's gonna feel better than she has in a long time. I can't thank you enough
01:22:11I'm happy to help
01:22:30You

01:23:03Mom, why don't you hang out of bed? The doctor said to stay in after surgery
01:23:07I know I know but I saw this cute guy through the window and I got kind of excited
01:23:14Are you hungry thirsty? No, thank you, but thank you. Thank you. Sit down make yourself comfortable
01:23:21Mom, do you mind giving us some privacy? Oh
01:23:27Of course, um, I'll just be right over here. Don't mind me
01:23:41I'm so so sorry. I uh, I
01:23:46Understand why you did it and
01:23:49You gave me the drive back. So there's no need to apologize. Thank you for everything
01:23:56I don't even know where to start
01:24:01I'm not looking for an apology
01:24:04You're not no
01:24:06See, I'm still CEO and I need an assistant and you're kind of the best in town. I
01:24:16Accept and
01:24:20Still looking for a girlfriend
01:24:23Well, if you're open to it, I'd love to apply
01:24:42I love you, Valentina. I mean Ariel that's gonna take some getting used to
01:24:49But
01:24:51There aren't any starry rooftop views here. Oh, this is my special place
01:24:58It's even better
