I did not know it was going tobe about vampires.
Why did everybody say that?
I did not know.
But we also talked about this.
I also did learn about...
The only thing I knew about themovie was two weeks before it
came out and that old boy wastrapped.
Michael B.
Jordan was playing himselftwice, playing a twin.

(05:19):
That's the only thing I knewabout it.

camp or whatever.

(06:22):
It comes from the same camp.
Yeah.
It's not a camp, but it'swhatever that little fucking
thing that turned them to superwomen or whatever the hell.
Not super women.
Finbots.
Finbots.
Exactly.
Oh, Black Widow.
She was in Black Widow.
So that's what I saw.
So now she's in her own one.
And I also think this is onethat you don't need to see the

(06:42):
other ones to understand.
Right.
There's not 85 above it.
So go check it out.
Okay.
And I like me some...

(07:07):

That's actually hilarious.
Florence Pugh.
Pugh.
That gave me a headache.
Okay.
Let's talk about you now.
The show?
Not you.
The show.
Oh my God.
It's over.
It's over.
I know.
Five years or five seasons.
More than five years.
That should have been on sincelike 2017.
Let's see when it started.
Oh my goodness.

(07:27):
It ended.
Were you happy with the finale?
I was so happy and so pleasedwith how the show ended.
And I am sick and tired ofeverybody on the internet and
all these little whiny littlebabies complaining about the
ending.
No.
The ending was perfect.

(07:48):
It ended exactly how it neededto end, okay?
We didn't need this ambiguous,like, up-to-you interpretation
ending of, oh, did he die?
Is he still alive?
Oh, is he still going to be ableto continue on and murder
people?
No.
The motherfucker needs to go tojail and needs to be sitting in
jail for the rest of his life.

(08:09):
And that's all.
He murdered people.
He killed women.
And he's in jail.
That's what it needed to be fromstart to finish.
Everybody wants this crazyending where the son ends up
being just like him and murdersjust like him and blah, blah,
blah.
Hang that shit up.
Right.
They have to be reminded thatthis was originally a lifetime
show.
This isn't The Sopranos.

(08:30):
This isn't Game of Thrones.
Right.
The cookie cutter ending.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I need standard, clean cut,prison time.
Prison time.
And that's it.
I'm glad he went to prisonbecause I would have been happy
if he died as well, but itwouldn't have been as
satisfying.
I would have been pissed if hewould have died.
The only death I would have beensatisfied with is if he was

(08:55):
sentenced to death through thecriminal justice system.
Probably was, but they bewaiting.
That's an ending I could getbehind.
Him dying after being on deathrow for 40 years.
that I can live with anythingelse?
I think Kate should have diedyeah I didn't she didn't have to

(09:17):
live for me like I didn't needher to be alive like when it was
revealed that she was stillalive I was like oh okay like
cool we didn't need it thoughshe deserved to die too yeah no
she definitely deserved to dieyeah so and I'm glad the black
girl she's doing great Marianneyeah Glad to see her.

(09:39):
I'm glad they brought her back.
I was hoping that she would havebeen the one to take him down.
That's where I thought they weregoing with season four.
I was like, oh, she's going tobe the one to end him.
But it was really more likeKate.
So that was kind of sad becauseI really envisioned Marianne
being the omega of it all.

(10:02):
Yeah, I like that she wasn't.
She was like, I don't want toplay...
I'm trying to protect me and mydaughter.
Yeah.
I can't play with him.
And I know people wanted her tokill him.
I was like, she doesn't needthat trauma.
She's already got enough.
That she definitely doesn'tneed.
She does not need it.
Yeah.
But it was mainly, I mean, Katekind of had something to do with
it, but it was amazing.
Mainly those little, you know,TikTokers.

(10:22):
Them two.
I champion them for thetakedown.

UNKNOWN (10:27):
Um...

SPEAKER_00 (10:27):
I think it was a lot of, it was Kate.
It was some Bronte.
It was some of the internet.
Kate only did it once he was, hewas in the newspaper.
She was like, I guess, I guess Igotta be anti him.
Had they, had he never gottenthat fucking newspaper.
What newspaper?
When he murdered that man, Katewas like, ain't gonna go back
from this.
I don't think she would haverevealed anything.

(10:49):
I think if Joe didn't publiclykill someone, she would have
divorced him quietly and belike, never come back.
Oh, you're talking aboutBronte's friend or whatever?
Yeah, old boy's son.
Oh.
I think after that, she waslike, okay, he's killing again.
She was over him before.
She was trying to take him downbefore then.
She was over him, but I don'tthink she would have went the
whole let's reveal that he's aserial killer route.

(11:09):
I would have to disagree.
I don't think she's that good ofa person.
I don't think she would have.
You want to know what reallyirritated me about this whole
season?
That fucking soap opera Youngand the Restless fucking
storyline with the surprise.
I have a half sister who's evil,but then my half sister also has
a other twin.

(11:31):
And then I also have a halfblack brother.
I was like, what are we doingright now?
I remember last season.
I could remember last season.
I was like, wait, who was ablack guy in the last season?
No.
Was he not?
Okay.
I could remember that.
No, he wasn't.
No, I thought that was sostupid.
I was like, why are weintroducing an evil half-sister
and her evil twin?

(11:52):
It folks a lifetime.
Yeah, and an illegitimatehalf-black brother.
I'm like, this is so fuckingstupid.
I was like, this is not Youngand the Restless.
And I was like, this is wherethe lifetime is coming through
on you motherfuckers.
The lifetime is showing.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I hated that.
There's some parts of the showjust like, oh my God, this is

(12:13):
such a good show.
And it's like, oh my God, thisis such like a...
just like lifetime.
But this was the first seasonwhere, I mean, season four,
sorry, season four was just sostupid.
I hated season four.
But like, this was the firstseason where I was just like,
why is this shit so corny rightnow?
Like, I didn't get that fromseasons one through three, but
like this last season, I waslike, y'all were on cornball

(12:34):
central.
I need to pre-watch love season.
Cause that was pure genius.
You know, who do you think heloved the most out of these?
women?
Out of Beck, Love, Marianne,Kate, Bronte.
Who do you think he loved themost?
I think Beck.

(12:55):
Actually, the correct answer ishe's not capable of love.
He never loved any of thesewomen.
That's the real answer.
But if I had to say, I would sayBeck too.
Maybe Love.
He can't stand Kate ads.
I don't care.
Even when he did like Kate, hedidn't like Kate.
He liked Kate's money.
Could you imagine him beinglike, he was going to buy Bronte

(13:16):
a castle with Kate's money.
He's such a bum.
He's such a bum, bruh.
He's like, I will buy you amansion.
And she thought that was cute.
Right.
She was pissing me off.
And then she got us together atthe end.
She was really pissing me off.
But that bitch was the Lulu.
When she woke up, changed to thebed and she was like, oh, why am

(13:37):
I changing?
I didn't want you to stand up.
Put a note.
Like, come on.
Let me stand up.
And I knew he broke her ankle.
I was like, how did she breakher ankle?
I, you know, I didn't even thinkabout that either.
And I was thinking, I was like,well, he threw him at, like, how
did he break her ankle?
Yeah.
I did not even realize that.
I just let that.
He's so crazy.
I love when they do stuff likethat.
Yeah.
You don't, you don't reveal howcrazy it is.

(13:59):
Yeah, you don't, you don'tnotice it in the moment and then
they bring it back.
Yeah, they're like, and I brokeyour ankle.
Like, damn, nigga, you had to doall that?
You chained her to the bed.
Was that, I don't know.
That's crazy.
That was crazy.
I didn't want you stepping onyour ankle.
A man is crazy.
Stay calm.
And they make him...
Sorry.
Just his performance wasamazing.
His acting was great.

(14:20):
His acting this season, I mean,it's always been good.
But this season, I was like fivestars.
Because I feel like this season,we saw Crazy Joe more often.
Like him yelling and like...
And when he turns that crazy on,it's like a switch.
And he's really good at it.
I love it.
And then when he turns thatlittle, I think it's so funny.
He goes, he goes from likeyelling to like, you're the love

(14:41):
of my life.
You're like the most beautiful,like he's so romantic and it's
crazy.
I'm gonna miss him.
Like, what is he going to donext?
I know.
And then I was confused.
Cause I thought last season hewasn't supposed to kiss nobody.
Cause I thought, I thought thattoo.
He didn't want, that's what Iheard too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
His wife.

(15:01):
But then this season, He wasgetting it on.
Them writers and producers werelike, look, we've tried this
shit.
We tried to give you what youwanted with season four, but the
viewers weren't having it.
So you need to get back in thebedroom.
Sorry.
They're like, it's your lastseason.
Just suck it up.
Yeah, suck it up.
And thank you.
Thank you to those producers.
Because season four was justlike, what are we doing here?

(15:22):
I was like, we're doing all thisjust because his wife doesn't
want him to make out withsomebody.
Like, I get it.
But y'all could have come upwith a better storyline than
this.
I actually don't get it as anactor.

Speaking of murder, potentialmurders, potentially being

Think Hollywood.

(17:08):
Think Los Angeles.
Think Beverly Hills.
Think Rodeo Drive.
Think Hollywood Boulevard.
Think sex worker.

UNKNOWN (17:16):
Think...

SPEAKER_00 (17:17):
Wealthy tycoon businessman.
That brings us to, drum rollplease.
Pretty woman.
Walking down the street.
A pretty woman.
Pretty woman.

(17:40):
Wow.
On a business trip to LosAngeles, Edward Lewis hires a
spirited young HollywoodBoulevard sex worker, Vivian
Ward, played by Julia Roberts,to accompany him for a week of
business and social events.
As their worlds collide...

(18:01):
What begins as a transactionalrelationship transforms into
something deeper, and the twodevelop a genuine connection,
which forms them to considerwhat they really want from life.
We were talking about lifeearlier.
What do we want from life?

(18:22):
Yeah, totally.
The age-old question.
The family! is an Americanromantic comedy directed by Gary
Marshall and written by J.F.
Lawton.
Shout out to J.F.
The film's title is based on the1964 song Oh Pretty Woman by Roy

(18:46):
Arberson.
The film was initially intended,actually, did you know this, to
be a dark drama about class inthe world of prostitution in Los
Angeles.
and was originally titled 3000.
It's crazy.
He pays her$3,000 for the week.

(19:07):
It's crazy how they're like,dark, nah, love.
Is it the same writer y'alloriginally had?
Yeah, he originally wrote it asa dark drama about the horrors
of prostitution.
They're like, let them fall inlove.
They're like, make it a romance.
Immediately.

(19:27):
The original story includedVivian being addicted to drugs
and part of the deal was thatshe had to stay off coke for a
week in order to stay withEdward.
Oh, wow.
The original story also endedwith Vivian and a prostitute
friend of hers going toDisneyland on a bus.

(19:47):
That's stupid.
Foolish.
Very foolish.
Yeah, like what?
I don't understand.
One of the producers from thefilm considered certain elements
that were originally written tobe detrimental to a sympathetic
portrayal of Vivian.
And they removed those like, youknow, tropes that they had on

(20:12):
her, her being addicted todrugs, etc.
And then they put it on Kit, herfriend.
The film bears a resemblance toPygmalion, which also formed the
basis for the Broadway musicalMy Fair Lady.
Pop quiz! What other movies havewe done that is based on
Pygmalion that is based on MyFair Lady?

(20:36):
Don't tell me.
Lindsay Lohan.
I wasn't going to.
Lindsay Lohan.
I can't think of a name.
That one's not really based onPygmalion.
They just do Pygmalion, but...
name the movie anyway that girlor teenage drama queen and
that's not the name of the moviethat girl was a teenage drama
queen confession of teenagedrama thank you sorry whatever

(20:58):
um and what's the other one ohwas it um pygmalion let's try to
think about you That is thetaming of the shrew.
Damn.
Like Shakespeare.
So my fair lady think, okay,this guy.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Takes this.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Let me see it.
Okay.

(21:22):
Don't tell me.
She's all that.
There we go.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
We have our winner.
It was Walt Disney Studios, thenpresident at the time, who
insisted the film be rewrittenas a modern day fairy tale and
love story as opposed to theoriginal dark drama.
It was rewritten as a romanticcomedy and the title 3000 was

(21:46):
changed because Disneyexecutives thought that it
sounded like a title for ascience fiction film, which it
does.
The casting of the film was arather lengthy process.
Marshall, the director um hadinitially considered christopher
reeve do you know whochristopher reeve is superman

(22:07):
the original like superman whofell off his horse yeah yeah so
they thought about him um danieldid he died i don't know i don't
think i knew he died he died inlike 2004 he died many moons ago
um she said many moons i waslike oh he just died no many
moons ago he's been he perisheddaniel day lewis you know daniel

(22:30):
day lewis yes do you daniel iknow the name i can't okay if
you don't care i don't care thenum kevin klein no not kevin
klein kevin clean kevin kleinkevin clean clean kevin clean
klein clean line kevin klein isit klein Kevin Lyne?

(22:52):
I don't know.
Him.
This guy.
Wild Wild West.
Yeah, the guy from Wild WildWest.
Him.
Which I could totally, totallysee him doing.
Denzel Washington.
Hot.
I could have seen it.
Can't deny it.
So all of these men wereconsidered for the role of
Edward.
Albert Brooks.

(23:13):
You might recognize his face,but we really don't know him
like that.
Sylvester Stallone.
Absolutely not.
christopher albert brooks reallyguys hell no thank you what
disrespectful um sylvestersalone christopher lambert we
don't really know him al pacinohey mr pacino um burt reynolds

(23:40):
uh and burt reynolds who is alsodeceased um they all turned it
down i can see burt reynolds uhi don't know i think he might
have been too old Pacino Mr.
Pacino went as far as doing acasting reading with Roberts
before rejecting the part Samuelyeah so he did a little you know

(24:04):
a little test run a little youknow walk of the mill let's see
how this goes and he wasn'tfucking with it oh so Julie
Roberts was already booked honeyI for the sake of this story
yeah sure And then Samuel or SamNeill.
He's in Jurassic Park.

(24:25):
Don't ask me which one.
You know, I don't watch themovies, but he's from Jurassic
Park.
Sam Neill, Tom Conti.
We don't know him.
And Charles Gordon tested forthe part as well.
We don't know Tom Conti andCharles Grodin.

(24:45):
Grodin.
That's his name.
Charles Grodin.
is the dad, the man, in all theBeethoven movies.
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah.
I was like, he's not hot enoughfor this.
Not familiar with his work likethat.
You've seen his face, though.
His face looks familiar, too?
Yeah.
And then, so, Richard Greer, whogets the part as Edward,

(25:09):
initially refused the part, butwhen he met with Roberts, she
persuaded him, and he eventuallyagreed to play Lewis.
He reportedly started off muchmore active in his role,
pursuing Julia Roberts'character more, you know, not
aggressively, but more, youknow, interested.
Gary Marshall, the director,took him aside and said, no, no,

(25:31):
no, no, no, no, no, no, dick.
I don't think so.
In this movie, one of you movesand one of you doesn't.
Guess which one you are.
The guy who doesn't make anymoves.
Keep still.
Okay.
Roberts was not the first choicefor the role of Vivian and was
not wanted by Disney.

(25:52):
They named literally every womanin Hollywood who was up and
about during this time for thisrole before they picked her.
Many other actresses wereconsidered.
Marshall originally wanted KarenAllen for the role.
You know Karen Allen.
She's in something.
She's in that...

(26:15):
Indiana Jones.
Yeah.
I get Indiana Jones and then theguy who plays Edward in this
movie confused all the time.
I think they're the same person,but they're not.
Um...
So her, she was originallyconsidered for the role, but she
declined.
Auditions went to many betterknown actresses of the time,

(26:36):
including Molly Ringwald, whoturned it down as she felt there
was something icky about thestory.
I'm surprised she turned itdown.
No, literally when I waswatching this movie and I was
doing my research, I was justlike, why wouldn't they put
Molly Ringwald in here?
I was like, was nobody thinkingabout Molly Ringwald?
So then I read that she turnedit down.

(26:58):
Because I feel like in anothermovie, we talked about how she
didn't want to play the samecharacter.
And I feel like this would havebeen like a little...
Right.
This would have been great forher to branch out.
Winona Ryder auditioned.
You know Winona Ryder.
Yeah.
I know Winona.
Okay.
you never know with you but wasturned down because Marshall the
director thought she was tooyoung Jennifer Connelly was also

(27:19):
dismissed for the same reasonEmily Lloyd I don't think we
know her turned it down as itconflicted with her shooting for
another film Drew BarrymorePatricia Arquette Brooke Shields
Uma Thurman and Kristen Davisalso auditioned for the role of
Vivian.
Meg Ryan, who was the studio andMarshall's top choice, also

(27:42):
turned it down.
According to a note written byMarshall, Mary Steenburgen was
also amongst the first choices.
That's a lot of people.
We're not done.
Diane Lane came very close tobeing cast.
The script was much darker atthe time.
They had gone as far as likecostume fittings, but due to

(28:04):
scheduling conflicts, she couldnot accept.
Michelle Pfeiffer, you knowMichelle Pfeiffer, right?
Right?
Hairspray.
Grease 2.
Michelle Pfeiffer turned downthe role saying she did not like
the script's tone.
Daryl Hannah was considered butbelieved the role was degrading
to women.
Daryl Hannah, she plays the ladywithout the eyeball in Kill

(28:27):
Bill.
okay now see if they got the Iwonder what script they got
because if I got the firstscript maybe I would have said
no too it seems like everybodywas getting seven different like
yeah scripts yeah one person gotit when it was a comedy another
person got it when it was adrama another person got it when
it was an under rewrites Iwonder what Molly Ringroll got
it because if she got it dark Icould see why she said no if she

(28:49):
got a light she should have saidyeah yeah I agree because it's
like at that point you reallydon't even know what you're
turning down right Because whatyou get right now and then the
final product is somethingcompletely different.
Yeah.
I would do, you know what Iwould do as an actor?
I'd be like, this sounds good.
I'm going to show up for thefirst week.
If I don't like it, I'm callingmy lawyer.

(29:09):
And then I'm out.
Right.
I'm calling my lawyer.
Get me out of this contract.
I'm calling my agent.
Give me the fuck out.
I'm pulling a Shonda Rhimes.
And I'm saying, get me out ofthis ABC contract right now and
bring me over to Netfliximmediately.
Yeah, I'm out.
Find someone who can.
You can't do it, but findsomebody who will.
That's some bullshit.
That was some...

(29:29):
It's like, I guess I'm workingovertime, guys.
Right.
She said, if you don't do it, Ifound somebody who can.
Okay.
An Italian actress, we don'tknow her, was considered, but...
They were like, no, her accent'stoo thick.
Jennifer Jason Lee hadauditioned.
I don't think we know her.

(29:50):
Leah Thompson unsuccessfullyauditioned for the role as she
thought the film was a drama.
That's the chicken.
She's in Back to the Future.
She plays Marty's mother.
Oh, okay.
Jennifer Jason Lee hadauditioned.
Jason Lee.
Is that the one from Sex and theCity?
No, we don't know this lady.
But Charlotte from Sex and theCity was in here at some point.

(30:13):
okay so after all these otheractresses turned it down the
role went to 21 year old Robertsa relatively unknown actress who
only had the sleeper hit MysticPizza under her belt and the yet

(30:34):
to be released Still Magnoliasthat's all she had Still
Magnolias hadn't even hit themovie screens yet Have you seen
Still Magnolias?
I have not, and I don't think Iever will.
And she was also nominated foran Academy Award for Best
Supporting Actress for StillMagnolias.
So yeah, she got the role.

(30:56):
And then Shelley Michelle actedas her body double in the risque
scenes and in the film'spublicity poster, which I did
not know.
So in that poster, the pictureof her And, you know, Edward
leaned up against each other.
Apparently, that's not her body.
That's just her head.
Why they needed a body doublefor that, I don't know.

(31:21):
I'm skinny.
I ain't that skinny.
What?
They can edit like that backthen?
That's what I'm saying.
But then when I look at it, Iwas like, why you playing a dude
look like her body do look alittle off from the rest of the
head?
Just slightly.
Now that you mention it.
But interesting thing aboutShelly, she has been called the

(31:46):
most famous body double inHollywood.
The Shelly person?
Yeah.
She had the best body.
I think, you know, okay, so whenwe first are introduced to,
what's her name?
Viola?
Vivian?
Vivian.
Vivian.
She's like in the bed.
We don't see her face.
We only see her body.
Yeah.

(32:06):
The first thing I thought waslike, that body is fucking T.
Yes.
That's definitely the bodydouble.

1990.
That's right.
Julia Roberts.
She's doing her thing.
Which McCall it.

(32:49):
He had done his thing.
But not as popular as he used tobe.
I would imagine.
30 million.
For the budget?
Yeah.
No.
It's 1990.
Okay.
25 million.
No.
20 million?
No.
$10 million.
$14 million.

(33:11):
You want to pay people likethat?
$30 million.
No.
$35 million.
No.
$40 million.
No.
Fuck.
I'm going down.
$20 million?
No.
Okay, I'm going back up.
$60 million?
No.

(33:31):
I don't know.
I don't recommend you go down.
Oh,$100 million.

No.
Oh, 250?

300?
No.

(33:52):
There's no way it may more than300 million.
400?
No.
500.
$463 million.
No way.
The film saw the highest numberof ticket sales in the U.S.
ever for a romantic comedy.
They was making money like thatback then?
Yeah.

(34:13):
The film grossed$463 millionworldwide and at the time of its
release was the fifth highestgrossing film of all time.
Yes.
Worldwide.
Behind E.T., Star Wars.
Indiana Jones and the LastCrusade and Jaws.

(34:35):
It has...
Say those movies again.
E.T.
with$700 million.
This is at the time.
This is 1990, of course.
E.T.
with$700 million.
Star Wars with$530.
Indiana Jones and the LastCrusade with$474.
And then Jaws with$470.
They had$463.
It was also the highestgrossing...

(34:57):
R-rated film released by WaltDisney Studios, holding the
record for 34 years until MarvelStudios' Deadpool and Wolverine
surpassed it in 2024.
Pretty Woman catapulted Robert'ssuperstardom, earning her the
Golden Globe Award nominationfor Best Actress in a Motion

(35:18):
Picture, Comedy, or Musical, inaddition to her first nomination
for the Academy Award for BestActress.
That's iconic.
Isn't it?
I think it deserved it.
$463 million.
The fact that it was under allthose action movies and it's
just like a romantic movie.
And it's a romance movie.

(35:39):
A romance movie nonetheless.
Fucking Star Wars.
Indiana Jones.
E fucking T.
Right.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Wow.
You can retire.
I wonder how much it was payingpeople.
Seriously, for$463 million, Idon't care if I'm unknown or
not, I want$10 million.
Off bat.

(36:00):
I could retire off of that.
If they had a good contractwhere it's like, I make money
based on how good the movie doesas an actor, I would sign up for
that.
Yeah, JF, the writer, he shouldbe sitting pretty.
He should be done.
He shouldn't have to do anythingelse, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, it just goes backto the studio.
But that's enough money to goaround.

(36:21):
But air about it.
No, seriously.
You get a million.
You get a million.
You get a million.
You get a million.
You could give me$100 millionand y'all still profit in there.
With a budget of$14 million.
With a dirt-ass cheap budget.
Crazy.
They made$463 million.
That's crazy, y'all.
Crazy.
That's crazy.

(36:42):
They can't do it like they usedto, bruh.
They don't.
They don't have the range.
They don't have the range.
And, you know, it just takes alot to get people interested,
you know.

But we meet Edward.
He's at a party that's beingthrown for him by his lawyer,
Philip.

It's not his girlfriend?
Oh, that was his girlfriendbecause he just got divorced.

He's on the phone with hisgirlfriend.
They're chit-chatting.
She's like, I never see you.

And he's like, it could be donethen.
And she said, bet.

(39:14):
And he said, get your things outthe apartment.

So he's on this trip.

(39:35):
He's out in Los Angeles forbusiness.
He resides in New York.
He's only in town for like aweek.
So at this point, he's over theparty.
He wants to head back to hishotel in Beverly Hills.
He borrows his lawyer's stickcar and he gets in the car.
Any stick car?
Shift.
Stick shift.
Not a manual.

(39:56):
He gets in the car.
He doesn't know how to drivestick, but he's heading to
Beverly Hills.
Mind you, it is 1990.
He's not familiar with the area.
But he takes off trying to gethome.
There's no GPS.
He doesn't know how to drive thecar.
He's not from there.
He's not from there.
So he gets lost.
He gets lost.
So cut to, we meet Vivian.

(40:16):
Vivian is Julia Roberts.
She's a sex worker.
She lives at a shitty littleapartment.
She's low on cash.
Yeah, she's low on cash.
Rent's due.
But she's got to go to work,honey.
So she heads on out to hit thestreets.
First...
She got to find her roommate,Bestie, Kit.
Kit is out with her drug dealerslash boyfriend.

(40:40):
Maybe, yeah.
Yes.
He's not her pimp, but he's likepimp adjacent.
Yeah.
He's up and coming pimp.
Her potential pimp.
Yes.
And it's like, where is our rentmoney?
Because they have rent money.
But unfortunately, Kit spent itto pay back or to buy more
drugs.
So that rent money is gone.
So they really need to get towork that night.

(41:02):
So they hit the corner, theirspot, between some famous star
and another famous star.
I forgot the star's names thatthey stay on.
But they're working theircorner.
They're working their corner.
They're working their corner.
And then, so Edward, who islost, finds his way on Hollywood
Boulevard.
Yes, it's Hollywood Boulevard.
And he pulls over.

(41:22):
Kit sees this lovely car andshe's like, hey, Julia.
This one's for you.
Vivian.
This one's for you.
You got him.
So Vivian pulls up and she'slike, hey, good looking.
Can I get you anything?
He's like, directions.
And she's like, yeah.

(41:43):
I'll give you directions forfive bucks.
And he's like, you're kidding.
She's like, make it 20.
And he's like, you can't chargeme for directions.
And she's like, I can dowhatever I want to do.
I'm not lost.
And for whatever reason, hetells her to hop in.
She gets in the car and he'slike, just show me how to get to

(42:06):
Beverly Hills, please.
She's like, sure.
Where are you staying?
She tells him where he's stayingand she directs him to his
location.
While they're in the car,they're chit-chatting.
They're getting to know eachother.
They're exchanging pleasantries.
They're talking about the carthat he's driving and how he
can't drive it.
And he basically is like, canyou drive it?

(42:28):
And she's like, you for real?
And he's like, yeah, I don'tknow how to drive this thing.
She's like, oh, sure.
So they get out of the car.
They switch seats.
She's driving this convertible,very expensive car that she's
probably will never be able toafford herself.
And she is escorting him towhatever hotel he's staying at.
He even asked her, okay, so,like, how much do y'all make,

(42:50):
like, a night?
As in, like, you, a typicalprostitute sex worker, how much
do you make?
And she's like,$100 a night.
Or$100 an hour.
And he's like, he's like, that'spretty steep.
And she's like, well, yeah, Ican charge whatever I want.
I don't think that's true,though.
I think she's just saying that.
Oh, you don't think so?
I don't know.
That did seem expensive, right?

(43:10):
Yeah.
I think she's just saying thatfor him.
I guess she changes it based onthe clientele.
Clientele, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So...
I say$100 every minute, everytime I talk to you.
But I guess she's saying thatthinking like, okay, this guy
would only pay for like twohours, so I'd only get like$200.
I'm thinking she's looking atthat car and be like, he can
afford it.

(43:30):
Right.
Right, right, right, right.
So...
She's smart.
They...
ultimately arrive at his hotelthey both get out she expresses
how fun it was driving the carum and they kind of say goodbye
and he's like okay are you gonnabe all right and she's like yeah
i'll just catch a cab with the20 that you're you owe me and

(43:55):
i'll be fine he's like okay soshe goes she waits for a cab and
then he actually has a change ofheart and asks her if she'd be
willing to spend the night withhim.
But he not really on that, youknow, he not really on that
fucking shit.
He was just like, ah, you know,this, this pretty, you know,
high energetic young girl.

(44:17):
Like she's on the streets.
Like I'll just give her somemoney and she can stay with me
for the night.
Very.
Mind you, he just broke up withhis girlfriend.
Yeah.
He just broke up with hisgirlfriend.
He not on that shit.
He not one of them.
Okay.
Yes.
Even though they're all one ofthem, but.
For the sake of the story,Edward is in.
So they go into the hotel.

(44:38):
He is on the penthouse.
Period.
Penthouse floor, baby.
He's got sick view, large room,huge bathroom, marble floors,
you know, the works.
He tells the receptionist or thefront desk lady to set up some
champagne and some strawberriesso they can enjoy the night.

(45:00):
And they continue to talk.
So yes, they head upstairs.
Mind you, this whole time,Julia, no, Vivian is wearing her
iconic pretty woman outfit,which is like a blonde wig.
It's like this- The sea oceanblue skirt.
Yeah.
That has like cutouts and it'sconnected to that white top with

(45:24):
like a silver metal hoop.
I wonder if her black boots- Iwonder if I dressed up as her
for Halloween.
Would the kids know who I wastrying to be?
They would want to.
They need to.
They would want to.
So, yes.
That dress is so hard to comeby, though.
Like, how could you even?
Like, that is a...
That has to be a costume at thispoint.
I don't know.
I don't think it would be easyto find.

(45:44):
Not as easy as it would be tofind the dress from 13 going on
30.
Now, that one I've seeneverywhere.
A couple times there.
Yeah.
But, yes, they head upstairsand...
And they're chilling.
Like you had mentioned, he's notwith the shits.
So mainly, Julia Roberts islike, she put on...

(46:05):
Who is it?
I love Lucy.
I love Lucy.
She's chilling.
She's eating.
She's having a great time,honestly.
They're exchanging pleasantries.
She's basically like, okay, sowhen do you want to have sex?
And she's like, you know, I'mlike, you don't have to talk to
me.
Like I'm a for sure fire thing.
Like I'm, I'm a guarantee late.

(46:27):
Right.
And he's basically just like,this time thing seems to be a
big issue for you.
So how much do I need to pay youfor the whole night?
And she's like 300.
He's like, okay.
He gives her the 300 and he'slike, now let's just relax.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
I'm not trying to have sex withyou right now.
And I guess, you know, a fewhours have gone by at this
point.

(46:48):
And yeah, Now it's time tocollect, I guess.
So she looks at him.
He looks at her.
She goes over to him and she'sbasically, you know, unbuttoning
his shirt.
And at this point, I guess he'skind of like tired of, you know,
I mean, there's a beautifulwoman in front of you and you
paid for the night.
So I guess he's going to takeadvantage of the night.

(47:10):
And she basically asked him, youknow, what do you want me to do?
And he's like, well, what do youdo?
And she says everything.
But I don't kiss on the mouth.
And he says, neither do I.
And so they do whatever you, youknow, leave it up to your
imagination.
They do whatever.
They bone.
Yeah.

(47:31):
And now it's the next morning.
So in the morning, Julia wakesup.
She's in her lovely hotel robe.
She finds Edward at the diningtable.
He's got this beautifulbreakfast prepared.
But at this point, she wants toknow more about him.
So Edward shares with Julia.
Vivian.
I keep calling her Julia.
Edward shares with Vivian thatwhat he does for a living is

(47:53):
basically he buys businessesthat are going under and then he
basically sells them for parts.
And he's in town to do the samething for a ship building
company.
So he's in town to buy a shipbuilding company so he can sell
it for parts.
And she's like, that's great doyou mind if I take a bath before

(48:14):
I leave because she's ready togo he's got to get to work but
then he gets a call from sowhile she's taking a bubble bath
he gets a call from his lawyerfriend Phillip and Phillip's
like the guy from Seinfeld yesand this is I think this is
before Seinfeld came out yeah itis it's like yeah he was like I
read that he was he was cast forboth of them around the same

(48:35):
time oh fun good for him that'sthat's iconic these two great
things anywho So Philip callsand is like, hey, we have to do
this.
You're supposed to go to dinnerwith the shipyard people that
were supposed to take over, likethe head of the company.
Do you have a date?
We also have a lot of thingsthis weekend.
Do you have a date to bring?

(48:55):
I can find you a girl.
And Edward's like, you knowwhat?
I'm good.
I have someone in mind.
And Edward's like, who?
You don't date anybody.
Don't you worry about that.
Don't you worry about that.
He's a handsome young man.
He can find anyone he wants.
And then so Edward goes into thebathroom where Vivian is taking

(49:18):
her bubble bath.
And he has a proposition forher.
And he asks her, how would youlike to spend the week together?
with me.
I want to pay you for the week.
You will be my date to socialevents, social gatherings,
dinners, etc.
How much, how much, how much,how much, how much?
And basically, he says, youknow, I just don't, it would be

(49:42):
easier for me to just take youas opposed to taking, you know,
a woman of my status.
How much?
How much will you pay me?
$3,000.
$3,000 is the agreed upon price.
I think she should have took$5,000.
Well, at first she said$4,000,then he said$2,000, and then

(50:05):
they agreed on$3,000.
I think she should have startedat$5,000.
She should have started at$10,000.
Thank you.
In the 1990s,$3,000 is$7,000now.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
I think she, I think she shouldhave, she should have figured
out what$10,000 was.

(50:25):
Right.
Cause he got, he got it.
Right.
And then, so basically Vivianasked him like, you're a good
looking guy.
Like you can find any girl.
Like why are you, you can findany girl for free.
Like, why are you trying to payfor, For me to do what you can
find and girl to do for free.
And he's basically like, I don'tneed any attachments, any

(50:45):
romantic interest.
This is strictly business.
This is strictly transactional.
And I just need you available atmy beck and call.
And he's like, is that a yes?
And she's like for$3,000.
It's a hell yes.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah, motherfucker.
And it's set.
It's a deal.
It's a deal.

(51:06):
So he's off to work.
And he taxed Vivian with, hegets her extra money.
Because not only is she getting$3,000, she's getting like
spending money too.
So he taxed her with the dutiesof finding clothes to wear.
I need you to look classy.
Not like a...
Not super flashy.
Not super, you know, revealing.
Yes.
More conservative.

(51:27):
Yes.
And Vivian's like, so boring.
Because that night they havedinner and she needs, you know,
something nice.
Let's start there.
So he's off to work and Vivian'soff to Rodeo Drive to find her a
lovely outfit.
She goes into one store,probably the first store she
walked into.
And mind you, she still has herstreet clothes on, her working

(51:51):
girl outfit.
Yeah, minus the wig.
Um, so like, she's got likethigh high boots and mind you,
this is like 1990.
So the way she was dressed in,it's not like, this isn't Rodeo
drive attire outfit.
This is, we want some club onHollywood Boulevard.
But I feel like even today I'dbe like, okay, that's a little
lot for right now, but she's nota, she's not a sex worker.

(52:13):
That's just how I was going todress back then.
Like the way she was dressing,like, Oh, this is a sex worker.
Like we're not going to studio54, honey.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she walks into the firstboutique and she's looking
around and the shop girl islooking right back at her.

(52:33):
And the shop girl is like, can Ihelp you?
And Vivian's like, no, I'm justlooking.
And then the shop girl's like,well, are you looking for
anything in particular?
And she was like, yeah, kind of,sort of.
And Vivian sees this dressthat's on a mannequin.
And she's like, well, how muchis this?
And the shop girl says, well, Idon't think that would fit you.
And Vivian said, I didn't ask ifit would fit me.

(52:56):
I was asking how much it was.
And the shop girl says, it's fartoo expensive for you.
It's out of your price range.
And Vivian says, look.
I got money to spend up here,you know?
I got money to spend.
My money good.
Dope, bitch.
And then so the shop girl bringsin her shop girl co-worker and

(53:18):
she asks her, shop girl numbertwo, how much do you think this
dress costs?
And shop girl number two islike, oh, that dress is far too
expensive for you.
And shop girl number one isbasically like, You are not
welcomed in this store.
You need to leave.
I can't be the first woman up inhere with my man's credit card

(53:42):
somewhere where I quote, quote,don't belong.
I can't be the first one.
Right.
I cannot be the first one.
Hello.
I am a white woman in America.
Dear Mr.
Royal Hampton.
I am a white woman in America.
No, seriously.
I was like, this is...
which you would do to a personof color, not a white person,

(54:06):
but one of you, she's not of thesocial class.
So Vivian's kicked out on herass.

UNKNOWN (54:14):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (54:15):
That rhymes.
The vibes are off.
Vivian's like, you know what?
I gave it a good try.
I must head back to the hotel torecoup.
Like she's like, I mean, it'sthe rudest thing ever.
So Vivian heads back into thehotel.
She walks in.
the um the manager hotel whonoticed her yesterday or noticed
her leaving because you knowshe's dressed a certain way and

(54:37):
not that kind of cocktail comesto this hotel often so he's
already peep game so when shecame back he's like are you
supposed to be here but he'ssaying he's saying it nice but
not too nice but he's like umwho is you she's like yes i'm

(54:58):
the elevator operator.
The bellhop.
The bellhop.
Who helped her yesterday whenshe came in.
And he confirms that she's withEdward.
And she's like, great, can I gonow?
And he was like, no.
Come to my office and let's havea chit chat.
So in his office, he sits herdown.
And he basically tells her,like, you know, this isn't the

(55:21):
type of hotel where sex workersshould be, basically.
But Edward is an importantclientele.
For important clienteles, wemake exceptions.
So he was like, just to verify,you are Mr.
Edward's niece.
Okay.
What does she say?

(55:42):
You guys are related.
You're a relative.
He asks him if she is a relativeof Mr.
Lewis.
And she's like, sure.
And he's like, so I'm assumingyou're his...
Niece.
And she's like, yeah.
And he's like, great.
So I would assume that once Mr.

(56:03):
Edward leaves, you will leavetoo.
And I will no longer see youback at this hotel.
He's like, you don't have anyother uncles.
Do you?
And she's like, no.
I mean, sir, if, if you're arich ass client, I want to bring
sex workers back.
Like that ain't got nothing todo with me.
You need to talk to them.
Your important clients.

(56:25):
Exactly.
I'm just working.
I'm just trying to get my moneyup.
You know what I'm saying?
Precisely.
He's like, okay.
And the next time you comethrough my hotel, you come
through my lobby, you need to bedressed appropriately.
So make sure you find yourselflike something better to wear.
And she says...
already frustrated, alreadyembarrassed from shop girl
number one and number two.

(56:46):
She's like, no, that's the issuethat I'm having.
I have all this money and I'mtrying to spend it because I
need a dress for tonight andnobody wants to buy me a dress
or sell a dress to me andeveryone has been rude to me,
including you, and I just need adress for tonight.
I know, poor thing.
And she starts to cry.
She gets a little emotionalbecause she's been profiled all

(57:08):
day.
Right.
And the hotel manager, what'shis name, Barney?
Barney gives her a handkerchief,and he makes a phone call.
He calls, I guess, some sort ofdepartment store lady that he
knows.
I like to think that's hisgirlfriend.
They have a crush on each other.
Oh, yeah, that's definitely hisgirl.
He calls his other friend whoworks at Bloomingdale's, Neiman

(57:33):
Marcus, whatever.
Or Nordstrom's.
Right.
He calls her up and he's like,hey, I have a friend of the
hotel.
She needs a dress for the night.
Can you help her?
And shop girl number three waslike, of course.
Yes, I can.
So Vivian goes over to thedepartment store.
The lady that spoke with Bernieis willing and happy to help

(57:58):
her.
And they find she's very nice toher.
She's very sweet.
And they find a dress.
I love when, so I love when likeafter she's nice to her, Vivian
goes, he's not really my uncle.
They never are.
They never are.
They're so cute.
So yes, Vivian has the dresssecured.
She's very happy.
She goes back to the hotel.

(58:18):
She goes to Barney and she says,thank you.
You know, I really appreciatethis.
Um, but I'm also going to dinnernight.
I need to learn how to, youknow, eat appropriately because
I don't, I need to know all the,the, Ends and outs of dinner
etiquette.
I need to know which one's thesalad fork.
Which one's the butter knife?

(58:39):
Which one's the steak knife?
Which one's the fish knife?
I need to know these things.
So Barney gives her a quick 101rapid fire training in the
etiquette of fine dining.
Love me some Barney.
Barney.
So Barney and Vivian are reallyhitting it off.

(58:59):
He's really helping her.
He's like her fairy godmother.
he always plays like a very likefatherly figure because he's in
Princess Diaries as well did youwhen you were watching this were
you like why is everybody why isthe entire cast of Princess
Diaries in this movie who elseoh yes yes yes the so Barney is

(59:22):
in here and he plays Joe as weknow in Princess Diaries but
then when Vivian goes on theother shopping spring the store
clerk is Paolo.
Yeah.
But then also, I don't know ifyou noticed, but one of the
receptionists at the front deskof the hotel is also the

(59:44):
secretary, Clarice's secretaryfrom Princess Diaries.
And you know, I thought thistoo.
I was like, why is everybody inPrincess Diaries in this movie?
You want to know why?
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
You want to know why?
Because the director of PrettyWoman is the same director.
Of Princess Diaries.

(01:00:04):
And we talked about this when wedid Princess Diaries.
Do you remember talking aboutthis?
Absolutely not.
So Gary Marshall, the guy whodirected Pretty Woman, is the
director of the PrincessDiaries.
Do you know who Gary Marshallis?
This is how I made you rememberhim when we did the Princess
Diaries.
Okay.
He is in Hocus Pocus.

(01:00:28):
Yeah.
He plays the devil in HocusPocus.
Oh, yes.
That's Gary Marshall.
Yeah.
Did he do Hocus Pocus as well?
I think he's just in it.
I don't think he...
Wait.
He is involved in Hocus Pocus.
What did he do?
Because Hocus Pocus was directedby Kenny Ortega, so I actually
don't know.
Maybe he produced it.
I don't know.

(01:00:48):
Oh, interesting.
What did he do?
Confirm that.
No, he's just in it.
He didn't do it.
He's in it.
But then...
Also, so that's why, you know,they're all in the same movie
because he directed it.
But the girl who sits at thefront desk of the hotel and who
also plays Clarice's assistant,that's his daughter.

(01:01:10):
Oh.
Nepotism.
We love nepotism.
Yes.
No, we don't.
So, yeah.
It is late in the evening.
Edward has returned to thehotel.
Barney goes up to him and he'slike, hey, I met your...
I was like, I think we're bothaware of the fact that she's not

(01:01:34):
my niece.
I love how he's like, you knowthat ain't my niece.
He said, no, no, no.
I'm rich.
You're not going to kick me out.
Shut up.
But he's like, yeah, just wantto know we're on the same page
and she's waiting for you by thebar.
Edward goes into the bar.
He looks for Vivian, doesn'trecognize her, doesn't see her.

(01:01:54):
Vivian turns around while hisback's turned.
He turns around.
He sees her for the first timein her new get up.
Her cocktail dress.
Her hair up.
Honestly.
Hair done.
Skin looking great.
In an expensive dress.
I prefer her hair downpersonally.
Of course.
Her natural hair down.
The curly.
I prefer that.
Because when our hair was up.

(01:02:15):
Yeah.
The wavy.
Yeah.
Fresh out of the shower.
Flesh blown.
Fresh blown dry.
Yes.
Blow dried.
Blow dried.
Oh.
But yes, they're off to dinner.
So dinner is going to be Vivian,Edward, Morris, who is the owner
of the shipyard, and Morris'grandson, David, who I guess

(01:02:36):
plans to take over the businessonce Morris kicks it.
Yes, they arrive at dinner todiscuss serious matters.
The whole time, they just goback and forth, business stuff.
The whole time, Vivian has thiswhole fun scene where everything
she does She's confused byescargot.
They're bringing her escargot.

(01:02:56):
She's like, what the fuck isthis?
And Edward's like, it's snails.
It's a French delicacy.
Try it.
They don't bring out the salad.
And that's the fork that sheknew.
She knew the salad fork, butthey didn't bring it out a
salad.
They bring out ice cream, butthe ice cream has a leaf on top.
So she eats the leaf.
Why?
She doesn't know what she'sdoing.
All that practicing, it went towaste.

(01:03:19):
Meanwhile, Edward is there todiscuss business.
And ultimately, Edward is tryingto take over Mr.
Morris' company so he can sellit for parts.
Mr.
Morris being the old bitter manthat he is.
He is not ready to part wayswith his company.
Don't call him bitter likeMorris.
Well, not bitter, but I don'tknow.

(01:03:40):
He believes in his company.
Whatever.
It's time to let it go.
He's going to be richregardless.
Edward, however, has like 10million shares of his company.
So basically Edward can dowhatever the fuck he wants
because he owns like majorityshares.
So he can sell it, buy it,disable it, whatever he wants to
do.
So Morris and Morris's grandsonare going back and forth with

(01:04:02):
Edward.
There is no resolution.
Edward is basically like, I'mstill gonna take your company in
some sense.
I do wanna mention in thisscene, we found out that like a
month earlier, Edward's daddied, but they had like a
tumultuous relationship.
So they didn't really talk.
But I say that because I feellike throughout this movie,

(01:04:23):
Morris is like a father figurefor Edward.
Kind of.
You think?
Kind of.
I think he likes him.
I think that's why he choosesspoiler in the end.
He chooses not to destroy hiscompany.
Yeah.
I guess so.
Because he likes him.
But yes, dinner does not gowell.
Business is not doing well.

(01:04:44):
And Vivian didn't figure out howto, you know, use a fork
correctly.
But better luck next time.
So yes, that's how they end thenight.
The next morning.
Edwards, once again, off towork.
He's about to leave Vivian inbed.
And he's like, okay, here's somemore money to go buy some more
clothes because we have morethings to do.
Minch is like, I'm surprised youdidn't buy more outfits

(01:05:06):
yesterday.
And she was saying that when shehad plans to, but they were
being mean to her.
Mean to you?
Cut to them on Rodeo Drive.
And he's like, We're going tofix it.
I'm surprised they don't go backto the same place, but he picks
another place.
Yeah.
Because that would have beenlike...
I mean, the way he handled itwas very like, I'm going down to

(01:05:28):
the school because my daughterhas been bullied.
Yes.
It was kind of cute, but alsolike, she a grown-ass woman.
No, I think it was cute.
I like it.
I thought it was cute.
I thought it was cute.
So yes, they go into a store.
The manager of the store is aguy from...
The Princess Diaries.
Paulo.
He runs it.

(01:05:49):
But when Edward walks in, he'slike, we're going to spend an
obscene amount of money.
I need you to get all your shopgirls, all your saleswomen, and
I need them to cater to Vivianhere.
And whatever is almost as prettyas her, let's pull it out.
will be spending an insaneamount of money.
So they have like a fashionmontage.

(01:06:10):
They're having a great time.
He leaves her card.
He goes to work.
She's having a great time.
She orders a pizza at therestaurant.
She sees a guy at the store.
She sees a guy with a tie thatshe thinks Edward would like.
She asks the guy for the tie.
Paolo's like, give him, give herthe tie now.

(01:06:31):
She's like, Edward would reallylove that tie.
He takes it.
She gets a tie.
She's doing great.
She leaves the store in a wholenew outfit with like hundreds of
bags.
She's got a hat on.
She's got shoulder pads.
She's got bags.
She's got a poof skirt.
She's got a huge belt around herwaist.
She looks expensive.
Yes.
She's got multiple bags.

(01:06:51):
And she moseys on down.
Real date drive.
Looking like a bad B.
And she walks in.
to that very store the previousday where shop girl number one
and number two didn't pay her nomind.
She walks into that store.

(01:07:12):
She goes up to shop girl numberone.
She says, hey, do you rememberme?
And the shop girl's like, no.
And she's like, well, I was inhere yesterday.
And shop girl's like, oh, andyou wouldn't help me.
You work on commission, don'tyou?
Shop girl's like, yeah.
Vivian holds up her bags.

(01:07:32):
She said, big mistake.
Big.
Huge.
A comic.
She walks out.
She showed that shop girl.
Yes.
You are going to commission,don't you?
Yeah.
Big mistake.
Huge.
I love how on The Office, youremember that episode?
Yes.
That's all I think about.
I love that episode when theytell the story.

(01:07:55):
It's so funny.
I love when Dwight retells it.
He's like, so there's a...
This lonely sex worker has allthe drapings of extravagant
wealth.

UNKNOWN (01:08:06):
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (01:08:08):
And then Andy's like, you're butchering it.
And then Kelly comes in andfinishes it.
I was like, ah, great.
But yes.
So while Vivian's off doingthat, Edward is back in the
office.
He's with Phillip.
At this point, he's having, he'sstarting to begin to have second
thoughts about screwing over Mr.
Morris and his company.
So that's what's going on in thebackground with him.

(01:08:28):
Girl, every time throughout thiswhole movie, I was like, can
we...
Every time they show Edward andthe freaking lawyer and they was
talking about business, I waslike, why was this included in
this movie?
Girl, they could have cut that.
This movie is so long.
It's so long.
The movie's two hours.
I was like, I don't care nothingabout what he doing about his
company.
I don't care about the business.
I was like, was this reallynecessary?

(01:08:49):
I don't care.
I hate when it was talkingbusiness talk.
Wrap that shit up.
And I think what's interestingabout this movie, because I
think...
julia roberts is the star of theshow but i feel like they also
tried to make edward i feel likethey're trying to make their the
characters 50 50 right yeahthat's that's fair yeah i mean i
think their characters are 50but i would prefer it to have

(01:09:12):
not been 50 50 50 because giveme give me all julia roberts
please right because even thatthe the fact that the film
started with edward and notvivian i thought that was crazy
that was kind of crazy I didn'tthink about that, but that is
crazy, yeah.
Yeah, because it's like, oh,we're starting with a side
character?
We're starting with this guy?
Yeah, I'm like, oh, but I guessthey're 50-50, so.

(01:09:35):
Even though the movie's calledPretty Woman, and she is the
pretty woman.
So that night, Edward comeshome.
Vivian greets him with dinnerand a show.
She's like naked.
Wearing the tie that she stole,bought for him.
I don't know.
but they share a bath and in thebath Edward talks about his
personal life and hisrelationship with his father now

(01:09:55):
he went to therapy and now howhe's upset with his dad because
his dad divorced his mom and hismom originally he was like a
teacher and his mom had all themoney and he basically divorced
his mom and she died and he tookall her money and he said like
the third no that's not whathappened he said no his dad had

(01:10:18):
the money No, I thought the momhad the money.
No, he had the money.
The dad had the money.
Divorced the mom.
Took his money with him.
Oh.
And then so he just left him andthe mom.
Okay.
And then the mom died.
Okay.
So he had all the money and justtook it with him.
Oh, okay.
That makes sense.
Because the mom was a teacherbecause the dad was a

(01:10:39):
businessman like Edward.
Oh, okay.
And then Everett said the thirdcompany that he bought and
dismantled was the company thathis dad was a CEO of.
So he was really trying to chasethat.
Get back at you, dad.
Right.
He was trying to get his duerevenge.
Yeah.
But this scene reminds me likeor made me think about like what
I feel like men sometimes getwhen they try to get sex

(01:11:02):
workers.
It was just like someone to talkto.
Like he's like he's like tellinglike from jump to me.
I feel like he always says.
expressed himself to vivian waslike yeah he just wanted
somebody to talk to it's like amini therapy session right he
wasn't even even he wasn't eveneven he wasn't even interested
in having sex with her yeah hejust wanted to talk to somebody

(01:11:26):
right um but the next day isanother function it's a polo
match so um Edward takes Vivianto this polo match.
She wears this beautiful polkadotted brown dress.
With a hat to match.
And the purse to match.
Loved it.
Oh, I didn't notice the pursematch.
The purse was like brown.
It wasn't polka dotted, but itwas like brown.
I really loved it.

(01:11:47):
And in the scene, he's wearingthe tie that Vivian got him.
It's like a little snake andvery cute.
But throughout, so Edward'sintroducing Vivian to people.
Everyone's rude.
Everyone's like, oh, you're thenew flavor of the month.
I thought rich people weresupposed to have some class.
That's so rude.
Right.
Someone says like, oh, you'rethe new flavor of the month.

(01:12:09):
She's like, I'm not here to datehim.
I'm just here for sex.
I'm using him for sex.
Yeah.
She walks away.
And they're like, oh my God, howdid she say that?
But I'm like, you just saidsomething rude yourself.
Right.
But you just sugarcoated it.
So she's just combating you withyour rudeness.
Yes.
So while they're there, Vivianis introduced to Phillip by
Edward for the first time.

(01:12:30):
And Phillip is like, oh, this isthe girl that you've been
running around Los Angeles with.
And glad to finally meet her.
And then so he starts askingquestions about her.
Like, oh, you know, where is shefrom?
Where did y'all meet?
What does she do?
And Edward's like, Edward islike, she's in sales.

(01:12:51):
And he's like, why do you care?
Phillip is basically like,because we don't know who this
woman is.
You know, she could be workingfor Morris trying to infiltrate
your company to get secrets toprevent this business sale going
down.
And Edward's like, you'reoverreacting.
Because right before that,Phillip saw Vivian talking to

(01:13:16):
Morris' grandson.
So he's like, oh, they must knoweach other or whatever.
So he's on high alert.
Yeah, because Philip reallywants this business still to go
down.
They've been working on it foryears.
He's taking this very seriously.
Every time Edward turns hisneck, has a blink or just a
little look of, you know, ah,maybe we shouldn't go through

(01:13:38):
with this.
Edward, I mean, Philip loses hisshit.
So Philip is very invested inthis.
Blame him.
Because if you're working onthis year, that's time and
money.
That's true.
For us, just for nothing?
Like, who gonna eat that?
Not me.
So, Phillip is like, you know,she could be working for Morris.

(01:13:59):
We don't know her.
And then Edward just is like,she's a hooker.
Phillip's like, what?
She's a hooker, Phillip.
I found her on HollywoodBoulevard.
Phillip is ecstatic.
And Phillip thinks it's thebee's knees.
He's joked.
He's like, ha, ha, ha, ha.
He's like, oh, okay.

(01:14:19):
So then what does Phillip do?
He walks away from Edward.
Edward kind of whispers tohimself.
He's like, I regret telling youalready.
Right.
And Phillip walks over to Vivianwhere she's over somewhere in
the distance.
He basically is like, so Edwardtells me you're a hooker, huh?

UNKNOWN (01:14:38):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (01:14:39):
And she's like, what?
And he's like, yeah.
He told me, you're a hooker.
He told me everything.
Like, don't worry about it.
And he's like, well, you know,maybe once Edward leaves town,
maybe me and you can gettogether.
Huh?
Huh?
And Vivian's like, sure.
Why don't we do that?
Glasses and like rubs it alongher.

(01:15:02):
On her shoulder.
You can't even touch her.
And he's a married man, by theway.
Married and short and balding.
Sorry.
All of the things.
Back the fuck up.
And so he walks away and he'slike, yeah, think about it.
And Vivian is feelinghumiliated, disgusted,

(01:15:23):
embarrassed, sad.
And so when they go back to thehotel room, Vivian and Edward,
she lets him have it.
She yells at him.
She is astonished at the ideathat he told somebody what she
does or how they really met.

(01:15:44):
And she says, you know, out ofall of my years, I've never felt
more cheap.
than in that moment.
And that's because of you.
And she's like, I cannot believeyou did that to me.
And he apologizes.
He's like, look, I'm sorry.
I did not mean to hurt you.
She's like, you made me feel socheap today.
I've never felt as cheap asyou've made me.
And he says, I find that veryhard to believe.

(01:16:06):
And she says, you know what?
Fuck you.
Give me my money.
I want out of here now.
And she's like crying.
I hate this scene.
She's like crying.
She's got all her stuff in herhands.
She's like looking down.
She's like, give me my money.
I want to go.
Yeah.
She won't even make eye contactwith him.
She's got all her stuff balledup in her.
Cause she ain't got no bag.

(01:16:26):
She got all her stuff balled upin her arms and she won't make
eye contact with him.
And she's just standing to theside and she's like, give me my
money and I want to get out ofhere.
So he doesn't say anything.
He gives her, he gives her themoney and places it on the bed.
And then he walks away.
She looks at the money and walksout of the room.

(01:16:46):
She don't take it.
He turns around, sees that themoney is still there, and then
he goes after her.
Before she gets on the elevator,he stops her and he's like,
Vivian.
And he admits that That he wasjealous that she was talking to
David, Morris' grandson.
Morris' grandson.
He didn't like it.
It made him jealous.

(01:17:08):
And she was like, there'snothing to be jealous about.
He said, I didn't like it.
I was being jealous.
And at this point, she's like,you hurt me.
Don't do it again.
And he agrees.
And she walks back inside.
They're so cute.
They are so cute.
They're so fucking cute.
They are cute.

(01:17:28):
At this point, It's time forVivian to share her story.
And she tells Edward basicallyhow she got to sex work.
So she's from San Francisco.
She's from Georgia.
Georgia.
And her mom said that she alwaysliked trash men.
And she's always been chasingaround trash men.
And that's how she got to LosAngeles.

(01:17:49):
Chasing around a trash man.
It didn't work out.
She met Kit.
And Kit was...
a sex worker and she talkedabout how much money she was
making and how good it was shemade it seem so glamorous yes
and you know Vivian needed themoney because she ain't got none
so she got to sex work and youknow Edward kind of acts like

(01:18:10):
you didn't think about tryinganything else and she was like I
mean I worked at like a fastfood restaurant a few times you
know Kit made it seem soappealing and she was like I
didn't have you know the guts tolike go back home Right.
So she's like, I mean, no onewakes up and says, you know, I
want to be a prostitute.

(01:18:30):
It just kind of happens.
My favorite part is like, hetells her like, you're so bright
and special and all this.
And she says, the bad stuff iseasier to believe.
Because while she might, it's,she doesn't believe that.
Like she believes that you'renever amount to anything.
That night or the next night.

(01:18:51):
Edward's supposed to be at work,stressing about his job.
Phillip is like, what's goingon?
Your head's not in the game.
He says something along thelines like, is this about that
hooker?
Edward says, watch out.
Watch yourself.
That's my girl you talkingabout.
Watch yourself.
Check yourself before you wreckyourself, sir.

(01:19:15):
Edward has plans for him andVivian.
He tells her to get dressed.
She's dressed in this beautifulred stunning dress that I wish I
would kill to have.
Probably one of the most iconicdresses in film and television
history.
Yes.

(01:19:36):
And he has another surprise forher.
He rips out this jewelry box.
He says it's just a loan, but heopens it up and it's this
diamond studded necklace.
Worth a quarter of a milliondollars.
She has the iconic scene whereshe goes to touch it and he
slams it and she goes, ha ha haha ha ha.
That was improvised.
Of course.

(01:19:57):
Psychotic.
All the great moments are.
You know, I love, you've seenThe Sweetest Thing.
Yeah.
They recreate that.
And then, yeah, and Christina,what was that girl's name?
Yes.
Not Christina Aguilera.
Christina?
I don't know her name.
Kristen?
Kristen.
Yes.

(01:20:17):
What is her name?
Do you need to know her name?
Yes.
Well, look it up.
She's important to me.
Christina Applegate.
Christina Applegate loses hermind.
It's hilarious.
But yes.
We should do that moviesometime.
We should.
We should do that now.
The surprise is, the gag is,they're about to hop on Edward.

(01:20:38):
So she doesn't know wherethey're going.
Edward brings her to a...
Opera! No.
Well, he brings her to theairport.
First they get on the privatejet and then they head to the
opera house.
They get on a plane?
They get on a PJ, honey.
Oh, I missed that.
It's not in Los Angeles.
They get on a PJ.
Where do they go?
It's in San Francisco.

(01:21:01):
Oh, wow.
Short little flight.
So Cali.
Right.
They get on a 20 minute flight.
The PJ.
And they are at the opera.
They are seeing La Travita,which is an opera about a sex
worker who falls in love with awealthy man.
How fitting, right?

(01:21:22):
Because that's what's happeningin this movie.
Right.
It goes great.
She cries.
It's a beautiful opera.
I would love to see an opera.
I feel like I would love to cry.
I don't know if I could watchsomething with a...
Singing and not speakingEnglish?
Well, they have...
Do they have English operas?
They can't be good.

(01:21:43):
You gotta watch an opera inItalian.
They must be foreign for it tobe good.
Yeah, they must be.
I don't know.
singing and you know i'mspeaking english i'm just like i
don't know what's going on iknow i have to i just it's gotta

hotel and ed vivian i don't knowconvinces him to take the day

(01:22:07):

the day and philip loses hisshit behind it pissed off he's
the day off The day off?
He's taking the day off.
The secretary's like, look,that's what he said.
Honestly, what does he have todo?
At this point, we're justsitting around waiting to see if
someone takes a deal or not.

(01:22:28):
Don't we have...
I feel like the higher up in thecompany you get, the less you
have to do because someone elseneeds to do all the work.
Right.
I'm just here.
Collecting the check.
Right.
But yes, they have a...
go to the park.
She makes him take off his shoesand he touches the grass.
He reads Shakespeare to her, Ithink.
They go to like a small Chineserestaurant.

(01:22:49):
They're adorable.
They have a great time.
They spend the day together.
They spend the day together.
So that night, Vivian gets outthe shower or something.
She goes, I guess, like to seeher man ready to make love.
But he's like in bed asleep.
And she thinks he's like thecutest thing in the world.
And while he's sleeping...

(01:23:09):
She kisses him on the cheek, onthe other cheek, and she kisses
him on the mouth.
She breaks her rule because shedon't kiss on the mouth.
Thank God.
And then he wakes up.
And then he kisses her back.
And they have the cutest kissever.
This scene, I was like, thismovie's iconic.

(01:23:31):
That scene, I was like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
When I was watching the scene, Isaid, this might be one of the
best sex scenes I've ever seenin a movie.
I said, this is a good one.
And you know what?
I haven't seen this movie in solong.
So this whole time I was readyto be like, damn, this movie
should be problematic and shouldlike...
It does.
It does pretty good.
It's just hard to...

(01:23:54):
The love is just so good.
Yeah.
It's hard to see like...
It's not that bad.
Yeah.
It's just hard to...
I mean, it is glamorizingprostitution in like the 1990s a
little bit too much.
This isn't going to happen.
This isn't going to happen toanybody.
Yeah.
Like girls don't...
Don't try it.
Don't make your way to HollywoodBoulevard.
Do not give it a go.
This isn't happening to you.
This is not going to happen toyou.

(01:24:15):
You might get kicked if you'relucky.
If you're lucky.
Their love is so...
It throws the reality out of it.
I'm just like, Ian, I'm in it.
They're so cute.
They make love.
Wonderful sex scene.
Edward is holding Vivian.

(01:24:35):
I think Vivian...
probably thinks he's asleep andshe whispers I love you and she
closed her eyes and then Edwardopens his and he's like heard
her he heard her why is thismovie so fucking cute girl she
left him after four days huhright four days I mean it's so

(01:24:59):
it's so easy to fall in lovewith someone who's handsome nice
rich rich rich rich rich richrich rich rich it's not like
it's hard yeah it's not likeit's hard If he was poor, then
you could try.
We'd have a different story.
Right.
So that morning, this is theirlast day together.
Edward is sad, you know, thatthis is the last day.

(01:25:19):
Soon he has to go back to NewYork City.
And, you know, he didn't tellher that he loved her, but he is
great.
He's surely going to miss her.
And he likes this dynamic.
Yeah.
I don't know if I should saydynamic, but he likes their time
together.
He likes this setup.
He likes this setup.

(01:25:40):
And he offers to get her acondo, give her an allowance,
pay for her bills, and he'llcome visit.
Right.
And then give her a credit card.
She can go shop as much as shewants.
Yes.
And Vivian's like, okay, whatelse?
Then you just pass by throughtown every now and then.

(01:26:05):
And yeah.
And bang me when you want tobang me and then leave.
And then Edward's like, Vivian,it's not like that.
And then Vivian's like, well,then what is it?
And he was like, well, firstthis will get you off the
street.
Right.
And she's like, that's justgeography.
Period.
And then she walks off.
I don't know.
When she walks off, she heads tothe balcony.

(01:26:26):
She looks over and she, Tellsthis dramatic story about when
she was a kid, when her mom usedto lock her in a closet.
She used to always dream aboutthis white knight that would
come and save her.
And that's what she wants fromlove.
She wants it to be true love,not like a transactional thing.
And he says something along thelines...
He's like, I've never treatedyou like a prostitute.

(01:26:48):
And he gets a call.
He has to go to work.
And as he leaves, she goes, youjust did.
Yeah.
Treat me like a prostitute.
So...
And basically Edward is kind oflike, look, this is all I can
give right now.
Like, yeah, this is all I got.
You know, you got to meet mewhere I'm at, honey.

(01:27:09):
Because he's like, well, what doyou think this is going to be?
Yeah.
She's like, fuck, I don't know.
She doesn't want to be treatedlike.
Right.
She doesn't want to be treatedas some call girl.
Right.
And it's like you're kind ofgetting rid of your power.
Yeah.
I feel like a part of the reasonto be a sex worker, as long as
you have a pimp, is you kind ofmake your own rules.

(01:27:30):
You got your own money.
And he would be like her pimp.
And yeah, and that was her wholething at the beginning.
When she was first talking toKit, she's like, yeah, if we're
going to do this, we ain't doingno pimps.
We make our rate.
We set our rules.
No man controls us.
No man can take our money.
No man can control our bodies.

(01:27:51):
This is our thing.
We're our own pimps.
Right.
Because let him come into townone day and...
And then he'll come over withthis pimp proposal.
I could be your number one pimp.
Right.
I could be the best pimp youever had.
They get an argument.
He kicks her out of her condo.
It's just...
Yeah.
She has no power.
And that's not why I'm in thisgame for.

(01:28:12):
It's a no for Vivian.
It's a no for me, dog.
So yes, Edward is swept away forthis urgent call, business call,
because today's the day, it'slike the last day of this
business thing with the Morrisand the shipping company.
We gotta make a deal! Right.
While that's going on, Kit comesto visit Vivian at the office

(01:28:34):
with Edward.
He meets with Morris and...
I guess, you know, after allthis week and his dad dying and,
you know, being with, uh, Vivianand Vivian, like along the line
says, like, I feel like youreally, like, I feel like you
have feelings for Morris andthat's why you're, you don't
really want to sell his company.
Like she, she's been liketalking about like how she feels

(01:28:56):
that he's, you have a hard, youhave some compassion for this
man and his business.
So, and that's why you'rehesitant to, you know, sell it
and break it up for pieces.
So in this business meeting, um,Edward sitting down with
everybody.
He, he asks everyone to leaveexcept for Morris.
And in the meeting he tellsMorris, um, I know you're in a

(01:29:16):
rough spot.
I do not want to sell yourcompany anymore.
I want to work with you to makeit profitable again.
And yeah, I want to make thishappen.
Yeah.
He's basically like, I want togo in business with you.
Yes.
I want part of the, theshipping.
What is it?
A shipping mill.
It's a shipping company, ship,ship making company.

(01:29:37):
They got, they even got this newcontract with the U S Navy and
he wants to be a part of it.
And he's like, I will not sellyour company.
Like I want to help it, make itthrive.
Yes.
And Morris is taking it back.
He's like, Whoa, didn't see thisone coming.
And he's like, yeah, kind of hada change of heart.
Of course that is all due toVivian.

(01:29:59):
And so the, the original deal isoff and now we have a new deal
on the table.
This new deal is not, not, not,not, not, not within Philip
signed up for.
Philip wanted to buy thiscompany, sell it for its parts,
and make millions.
That's what they've been workingon for years.
That's what he wanted to do.

(01:30:20):
That was his only goal, his onlyplan.
Now, Edward's coming in, talkingabout something.
We're not doing that anymore.
I'm actually going into businesswith this guy.
I want to help him.
Philip's like, that's not whatwe're in the business of doing.
We're in the business of ruininglives, not making them better.
What the fuck?
Philip's pissed.
I love how Edward just like...

(01:30:41):
He's like, y'all can go back in.
And he leaves.
Who?
Edward.
He leaves.
He's like, y'all can go backinto the office.
Y'all go and figure that shitout.
I'm gone.
Yeah, I'm actually gone.
Like, that you're not going totell Phillip.
Because Phillip walks over andhe's like, these papers don't
sign.
Mr.
Morris is like, yeah, we'regoing to business with each
other.
Don't leave me with this crazyman.

(01:31:03):
Oh, Jesus.
So back at the hotel...
Vivian is packing up her thing.
This just isn't going to workout with her and Edward.
But before she can, you know,leave for the day, she gets a
knock at the door.
And it's Phillip.
Oh, no.
And Phillip is at the doorasking for Edward.

(01:31:27):
And Vivian says, Phillip nothere.
I thought he was with you.
Phillip, no.
Edward ain't up in there.
You know good and well he ain'tthere.

UNKNOWN (01:31:36):
Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 (01:31:36):
That's where you look through the peephole.
Yeah.
Open the door like that.
So Philip says, oh, I'll justwait for him to come back.
Do you mind if I come in?
And then Vivian says, sure, Iguess not.
Philip makes his way to the bar.
He makes himself a drink and hebasically is like, yeah.

(01:31:56):
So today Edward broke this dealthat we had been, uh, working on
for months.
Phillip's basically like, youknow what?
Edward's not with me anymore.
He's with you now.
And I guess he's upset aboutthat.
And he is like, you know, thisdeal has cost me a lot of money.

(01:32:21):
But Edward, he doesn't seem tocare.
Not at all.
Ever since he started messingaround with you, he don't seem
to care about anything.
And you know what, Vivian?
Maybe if I banged you the wayEdward banged you, I wouldn't
care about losing out on amillion dollars like I did

(01:32:44):
today.
Vivian's like, I don't know whatyou're...
Leave me alone.
And he puts his hand on herthigh and she removes it.
And then, of course, he...
jumps on top of her.
And he's like, you're just afucking whore.

(01:33:05):
And then he slaps her.
And she's like, get off of me.
Get off of me.
Thank God.
Edward comes in before Philiphas time to commit this heinous
act that he planned oncommitting.
And Edward comes in, punchesPhilip in the face.
And he's like, get out.

(01:33:26):
And Philip is like, why couldyou?
Why are you doing this?
I would have followed you to theend of the earth.
You, I've been with you for 10years.
I loved this.
You took away what I love.
And then Edward's like, shut up.
You never did this for me.
I made you a rich man because Ilet you do what you wanted to

(01:33:49):
do.
Screw people over and get richwhile doing it.
Get out.
We're done here.
It's over.
It's just hilarious.
I'm like, well, I don't used tolike it too.
Don't, don't make me.
Right.
Hold on.
Yeah.
Like we were in this together,bro.
So I wonder, cause you saidthere was like a dark version of

(01:34:09):
this.
I wonder in the dark version.
Is the assault happen?
Maybe.
Cause that would make sense.
Like, I wonder if that was likea scene in it.
It's like one of his businesspal assault.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I actually do want to read thedark version of this.
I don't know if you'll ever beable to find that.
I hate that.

(01:34:29):
Release it.
Tell me.
I don't know why that would beaccessible.
But I just want to know what wasthe full original thought of it.
So, after this incident, Vivianis now laying on the sofa with

(01:34:51):
ice on her face um Edward istending to her and you know
after a few minutes she's likeokay well I should probably go
now and Edward's like yeah I seeyou packed up your stuff you
don't have to leave today youknow And she's like, I do have

(01:35:13):
to leave, Edward.
Come on.
You know, there's always goingto be, you know, a friend of
yours, a business associate whothinks they can treat me the way
Philip treated me today.
And she's like, what are yougoing to do every time?
You know, give him a black eye,punch him.
You can't keep doing that.
And Edward's basically like,that's not where you're leaving.

(01:35:35):
Cut the shit.
It's not where you're going.
She wants fairy tale.
She said, well, I think sheleaves because she wants true
love and this transactionalthing is just not going to work.
Yeah, this half-ass crap ain'tgoing to work no more.
Yeah.
And before she goes, he pays herher$3,000.
He does?
Yeah, girl.

(01:35:55):
Oh.
She got money.
Yeah.
I missed that part.
I forgot about the money.
He pays her money.
On her way out, she says goodbyeto Bernie.
And Bernie says, you're a goodkid, kid.
Something like that, I don'tknow.
Atta girl.
Atta girl.
You did well.
Or Bernie offers Vivian, one ofthe drivers, to drop her off.

(01:36:19):
He drops her off at herapartment.
And inside, I don't know if it'sthe next day or the same day,
but we see her packing up herapartment.
Vivian's sitting there andthey're discussing that she's
about to move.
Kit.
Kit, sorry.
Kit plans to...
Vivian plans to move to SanFrancisco to get a new job, to
get her high school diploma, andto start fresh.

(01:36:41):
To make something of herself.
To make something out of herlife.
You can't turn tricks forever.
Yeah.
Tricks are for kids.
She's probably like 20 in thismovie.
Yeah, she was 22.
I think her herself was 22.
Okay.
She didn't look 22.
She looked a little older.

(01:37:01):
Back in the day, them youngpeople looked old.
I know.
Old people look young.
That's right.
But yes, Vivian gives Kit somemoney and tells her that she has
a lot of potential and, youknow, can't do this forever,
girl.
And Kit's like, I'm going to goahead and exit because I hate
goodbyes.
So I'm going to go.
Back at the hotel, Edward isleaving.

(01:37:25):
He's leaving.
He asks Bernie to bring backlike the diamond earrings and
necklace that he loaned.
And Bernie's like, yeah, I cando that.
And he tells Edward, he's like,you know, I had one of our, my
drivers drop her off at herapartment, you know, so we know
where she lives.
So I'm just going to let himdrive you to the airport because

(01:37:50):
he's, he's going home and I'lllet you figure that out for
yourself.
Yeah.
If you want to make any stopsalong the way, that's cool with
us.
Who won't stop you, Shawty?
Vivian's at her apartment andEdward is, Decides to go on his
way.
Before he goes, he stops andgets flowers.
We see Kit talking to acharacter from earlier who's

(01:38:11):
going to be her new roommate.
And Kit has basically decided togo to beauty school.
She's like, yeah, you know, yougot to have hopes and you got to
have dreams.
You know, when I was, you know,renting out my room to Vivian,
you know, I've always hadaspirations.
You can't turn tricks forever.
You know, do you got dreams?
You got to have dreams.
Right.
I love it.
I'm like, yay.
Inspire.

(01:38:32):
So I'm going to have to chargeyou a little extra more than I
was charging Vivian.
Cause you know, I got to getinto beauty school, you know,
can't turn.
What do you mean?
You're going to charge me thatpart.
I'm like, Oh hell no.
Do you own the apartment?
Why are you charging extra?
Oh, she did say I'm never goingto be here, but no recharge the
same.
Thank you.
But yes, we see Edward buy someflowers.
Vivian's chilling in anapartment.
She's looking out the window.

(01:38:53):
She's about to leave.
And she hears honking.
She looks outside the window.
She's like, it must be my love.
And we see Edward outside of thesunroof of the limo.
He's got flowers in her hands.
His arms are open maybe.
And he's like, I love you, girl.
Vivian! I love you, bitch.

(01:39:13):
And then so she comes out of thewindow onto the terrace of her
apartment.
And...
Edward, who is afraid ofheights.
Y'all know how them apartmentsbe having them little ladders to
each floor like they be doing inNew York and all them other

(01:39:34):
cities.
She got one of them.
Fire escape.
Oh, is that what that is?
It's a fire escape, yes.
It's a fire escape?
Yeah, so it's a fire.
That's how you escape.
Oh, I guess that makes sense.
They have a fire escape.
So he comes up the fire escapeto the top floor of that she has
or that she's staying in in herapartment complex and he meets

(01:40:01):
her and he's like he says whathappens after the knight rescues
the princess and she says sherescues him right back and then
they kiss I thought this kisswas really weird I didn't like
it but they kiss I like how thesong from the opera plays in the

(01:40:22):
background.
Oh, I didn't even notice that.
I'm assuming it's a song fromthe opera.
Sounds like an opera song.
Oh.
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure.
They didn't sing Pretty Woman?
No.
Well, they make out.
And all's well that ends wellfor Vivian and Edward.

(01:40:43):
They share a kiss.
They're hopeful that theirromance will go on forever.
I don't know how this is goingto work.
Do you think they last?
No.
Quick fire.
No.
Yeah, absolutely not.
Not at all.
I also think, I don't know howold he's supposed to be in this
movie, but he's got to be 50.
You know, I Googled it.

(01:41:03):
So he was 40 when the movie wasmade.
He looks older than 40, but he's40.
Yeah.
Can you imagine being 22 andhaving like, day of 40 year old
I mean it happens every day Imean it does but I don't know
how they do it I wouldn't yeahso old the age gap alone yeah

(01:41:28):
isn't gonna work out 20 yearsget out of here but maybe he can
like so this is what I'm hopingyou know they break up but he
he's gonna help pay for hercollege you know he's always
gonna be there for her but likeoh yeah maybe yeah yeah yeah
yeah He'll always give her alittle something something.
He'll always help her out whenshe needs it.
She always calls him.
He'll help her like opensomething up like a flower shop

(01:41:51):
or a restaurant.
Just like it's going to turn toa friendship.
Partnership.
And Phillip's going to have aheart attack and die.
Hopefully.
At the very least.
His character is so unlikable,but he's from Seinfeld.
I've actually never watchedSeinfeld, so I don't know how

(01:42:11):
his character is either.
I think he's like a bumblingidiot.
