You just researched the cheap online program. Yeah, I mean... What was I about to say? What are you getting it in again? Data analytics. Good old... Data analytics. Yeah. Did I tell you that I took a test at work? They made us take one of those personality tests, and I took it, and I was like, okay, so what is my personality?

No, I need to get better. I'm going to be a content creator by the end. Well, I'm already a content creator. I'm going to be a successful content creator. A content creator that brings in income. Yes, exactly. Sustainable income. I'm going to be that by January 1st, 2026. Let's talk about it. Yay. Mode it be. You're coming with me. That's right. Coming along for the ride. What else is going on besides midlife crises? Have you seen any other movies? I don't think we ever talked about Sinners. We did. I feel like we talked about me actually seeing it. I don't think so. I don't remember. I remember we had the conversation about the girl who's supposed to be. Yeah, that was before. I think it was before we saw it. Oh, I saw it. It was really good. Everyone should go see it. Vampires. Okay. Culture. Yeah. I really enjoyed it. I really, really enjoyed it. I did not know it was going to be 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 the movie was two weeks before it came out and that old boy was trapped. Michael B. Jordan was playing himself twice, playing a twin. That's the only thing I knew about it. Did you know it had vampires in it? It was giving... supernatural of some sort I might have not known 100% about the vampires but I knew it was a supernatural film I didn't watch a trailer at all the only thing I knew about it was from like you know Twitter I was talking about it before I saw it so I was like oh okay but literally had no idea what it was going to be about it was good I had a great time okay I need to go see it eventually I guess support tomorrow I think I'm going to go to the movies to do an after work to do an after work activity to see Thunderbolts. Oh, okay. One of those Marvel movies. Yeah. But I, God will, I've seen, I saw one of the superhero movies that she's in for that superhero. She's in a different one. Yeah. Cause she's like, she's like what Scarlett Johansson is that, they went to the same place. camp or whatever. It comes from the same camp. Yeah. It's not a camp, but it's whatever that little fucking thing that turned them to super women 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 one that you don't need to see the other ones to understand. Right. There's not 85 above it. So go check it out. Okay. And I like me some... No. Florence Pugh. Pugh. I like me some Florence. I literally want to call her Florence Pugh. Pugh. Her last name to me is spelled like Pugh. Pugh. 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 since like 2017. Let's see when it started. Oh my goodness. It ended. Were you happy with the finale? I was so happy and so pleased with how the show ended. And I am sick and tired of everybody on the internet and all these little whiny little babies complaining about the ending. No. The ending was perfect. It ended exactly how it needed to 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 able to continue on and murder people? No. The motherfucker needs to go to jail and needs to be sitting in jail for the rest of his life. And that's all. He murdered people. He killed women. And he's in jail. That's what it needed to be from start to finish. Everybody wants this crazy ending where the son ends up being just like him and murders just like him and blah, blah, blah. Hang that shit up. Right. They have to be reminded that this was originally a lifetime show. This isn't The Sopranos. 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 prison because I would have been happy if he died as well, but it wouldn't have been as satisfying. I would have been pissed if he would have died. The only death I would have been satisfied with is if he was sentenced to death through the criminal justice system. Probably was, but they be waiting. That's an ending I could get behind. Him dying after being on death row for 40 years. that I can live with anything else? I think Kate should have died yeah I didn't she didn't have to live for me like I didn't need her to be alive like when it was revealed that she was still alive I was like oh okay like cool we didn't need it though she deserved to die too yeah no she definitely deserved to die yeah so and I'm glad the black girl she's doing great Marianne yeah Glad to see her. I'm glad they brought her back. I was hoping that she would have been the one to take him down. That's where I thought they were going with season four. I was like, oh, she's going to be the one to end him. But it was really more like Kate. So that was kind of sad because I really envisioned Marianne being the omega of it all. Yeah, I like that she wasn't. She was like, I don't want to play... I'm trying to protect me and my daughter. Yeah. I can't play with him. And I know people wanted her to kill him. I was like, she doesn't need that trauma. She's already got enough. That she definitely doesn't need. She does not need it. Yeah. But it was mainly, I mean, Kate kind of had something to do with it, but it was amazing. Mainly those little, you know, TikTokers. Them two. I champion them for the takedown.
UNKNOWN:Um...
SPEAKER_00: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, he was in the newspaper. She was like, I guess, I guess I gotta be anti him. Had they, had he never gotten that fucking newspaper. What newspaper? When he murdered that man, Kate was like, ain't gonna go back from this. I don't think she would have revealed anything. I think if Joe didn't publicly kill someone, she would have divorced him quietly and be like, never come back. Oh, you're talking about Bronte's friend or whatever? Yeah, old boy's son. Oh. I think after that, she was like, okay, he's killing again. She was over him before. She was trying to take him down before then. She was over him, but I don't think she would have went the whole let's reveal that he's a serial killer route. I would have to disagree. I don't think she's that good of a person. I don't think she would have. You want to know what really irritated me about this whole season? That fucking soap opera Young and 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. And then I also have a half black brother. I was like, what are we doing right now? I remember last season. I could remember last season. I was like, wait, who was a black guy in the last season? No. Was he not? Okay. I could remember that. No, he wasn't. No, I thought that was so stupid. I was like, why are we introducing an evil half-sister and her evil twin? It folks a lifetime. Yeah, and an illegitimate half-black brother. I'm like, this is so fucking stupid. I was like, this is not Young and the Restless. And I was like, this is where the lifetime is coming through on you motherfuckers. The lifetime is showing. Yeah. Oh my God, I hated that. There's some parts of the show just like, oh my God, this is such a good show. And it's like, oh my God, this is such like a... just like lifetime. But this was the first season where, I mean, season four, sorry, season four was just so stupid. I hated season four. But like, this was the first season where I was just like, why is this shit so corny right now? Like, I didn't get that from seasons one through three, but like this last season, I was like, y'all were on cornball central. I need to pre-watch love season. Cause that was pure genius. You know, who do you think he loved the most out of these? women? Out of Beck, Love, Marianne, Kate, Bronte. Who do you think he loved the most? I think Beck. Actually, the correct answer is he's not capable of love. He never loved any of these women. That's the real answer. But if I had to say, I would say Beck too. Maybe Love. He can't stand Kate ads. I don't care. Even when he did like Kate, he didn't like Kate. He liked Kate's money. Could you imagine him being like, he was going to buy Bronte a castle with Kate's money. He's such a bum. He's such a bum, bruh. He's like, I will buy you a mansion. And she thought that was cute. Right. She was pissing me off. And then she got us together at the end. She was really pissing me off. But that bitch was the Lulu. When she woke up, changed to the bed and she was like, oh, why am 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 break her ankle? I, you know, I didn't even think about 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 like that. Yeah. You don't, you don't reveal how crazy it is. Yeah, you don't, you don't notice it in the moment and then they bring it back. Yeah, they're like, and I broke your ankle. Like, damn, nigga, you had to do all 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 on your ankle. A man is crazy. Stay calm. And they make him... Sorry. Just his performance was amazing. His acting was great. His acting this season, I mean, it's always been good. But this season, I was like five stars. 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 that little, I think it's so funny. He goes, he goes from like yelling to like, you're the love 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 do next? I know. And then I was confused. Cause I thought last season he wasn't supposed to kiss nobody. Cause I thought, I thought that too. He didn't want, that's what I heard too. Yeah. Yeah. His wife. But then this season, He was getting it on. Them writers and producers were like, look, we've tried this shit. We tried to give you what you wanted with season four, but the viewers weren't having it. So you need to get back in the bedroom. Sorry. They're like, it's your last season. Just suck it up. Yeah, suck it up. And thank you. Thank you to those producers. Because season four was just like, what are we doing here? I was like, we're doing all this just because his wife doesn't want him to make out with somebody. Like, I get it. But y'all could have come up with a better storyline than this. I actually don't get it as an actor. also that yes I'm like you're an actor yeah and if she wants you to pay the bill she's gonna have to get with it right get with it or go home baby I'm sorry like it's not real now if now I would fall in love with Penn Bradley on set but you know that's that's they ain't got nothing to do with him they ain't got nothing to do with him yeah speaking of also oh wait oh I just wanna I don't know if I talked about this I just wanna shout out thank you fuck what's that movie me No. Shout out to me. Yeah, shout out to me. For being amazing. I wanted to shout out Shonda Rhimes' show, The Murder Mystery. Never heard of it. The Residents. It's on Netflix. The main character is Uzzah Aduba. Sorry. Sorry to pronounce your name crazy. It's not an easy one. But yes. Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black. Our sister in Christ, Crazy Eyes. It's a murder mystery. Someone dies at the White House and she's solving the crime, which was so good. A couple episodes. Something always happens at the White House when Shonda Rhimes is involved. I know, right? But it was really good. I really enjoyed it if you guys are looking for a little mini-series. I hope they have a second season. You finished it? Yeah, it's only like seven episodes. Oh, okay. Yeah. Speaking of murder, potential murders, potentially being murdered by a man, because it's possible this movie could have gone left. Think Hollywood. Think Los Angeles. Think Beverly Hills. Think Rodeo Drive. Think Hollywood Boulevard. Think sex worker.
UNKNOWN:Think...
SPEAKER_00:Wealthy tycoon businessman. That brings us to, drum roll please. Pretty woman. Walking down the street. A pretty woman. Pretty woman. Wow. On a business trip to Los Angeles, Edward Lewis hires a spirited young Hollywood Boulevard sex worker, Vivian Ward, played by Julia Roberts, to accompany him for a week of business and social events. As their worlds collide... What begins as a transactional relationship transforms into something deeper, and the two develop a genuine connection, which forms them to consider what they really want from life. We were talking about life earlier. What do we want from life? Yeah, totally. The age-old question. The family! is an American romantic comedy directed by Gary Marshall and written by J.F. Lawton. Shout out to J.F. The film's title is based on the 1964 song Oh Pretty Woman by Roy Arberson. The film was initially intended, actually, did you know this, to be a dark drama about class in the world of prostitution in Los Angeles. and was originally titled 3000. It's crazy. He pays her$3,000 for the week. It's crazy how they're like, dark, nah, love. Is it the same writer y'all originally had? Yeah, he originally wrote it as a dark drama about the horrors of prostitution. They're like, let them fall in love. They're like, make it a romance. Immediately. The original story included Vivian being addicted to drugs and part of the deal was that she had to stay off coke for a week in order to stay with Edward. Oh, wow. The original story also ended with Vivian and a prostitute friend of hers going to Disneyland on a bus. That's stupid. Foolish. Very foolish. Yeah, like what? I don't understand. One of the producers from the film considered certain elements that were originally written to be detrimental to a sympathetic portrayal of Vivian. And they removed those like, you know, tropes that they had on her, her being addicted to drugs, etc. And then they put it on Kit, her friend. The film bears a resemblance to Pygmalion, which also formed the basis for the Broadway musical My Fair Lady. Pop quiz! What other movies have we done that is based on Pygmalion that is based on My Fair Lady? 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 on Pygmalion. They just do Pygmalion, but... name the movie anyway that girl or teenage drama queen and that's not the name of the movie that girl was a teenage drama queen confession of teenage drama thank you sorry whatever um and what's the other one oh was it um pygmalion let's try to think about you That is the taming 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. 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, then president at the time, who insisted the film be rewritten as a modern day fairy tale and love story as opposed to the original dark drama. It was rewritten as a romantic comedy and the title 3000 was changed because Disney executives thought that it sounded like a title for a science fiction film, which it does. The casting of the film was a rather lengthy process. Marshall, the director um had initially considered christopher reeve do you know who christopher reeve is superman the original like superman who fell off his horse yeah yeah so they thought about him um daniel did he died i don't know i don't think i knew he died he died in like 2004 he died many moons ago um she said many moons i was like oh he just died no many moons ago he's been he perished daniel day lewis you know daniel day lewis yes do you daniel i know the name i can't okay if you don't care i don't care then um kevin klein no not kevin klein kevin clean kevin klein kevin clean clean kevin clean klein clean line kevin klein is it klein Kevin Lyne? I don't know. Him. This guy. Wild Wild West. Yeah, the guy from Wild Wild West. Him. Which I could totally, totally see him doing. Denzel Washington. Hot. I could have seen it. Can't deny it. So all of these men were considered for the role of Edward. Albert Brooks. You might recognize his face, but we really don't know him like that. Sylvester Stallone. Absolutely not. christopher albert brooks really guys hell no thank you what disrespectful um sylvester salone christopher lambert we don't really know him al pacino hey mr pacino um burt reynolds uh and burt reynolds who is also deceased um they all turned it down i can see burt reynolds uh i don't know i think he might have been too old Pacino Mr. Pacino went as far as doing a casting reading with Roberts before rejecting the part Samuel yeah so he did a little you know a little test run a little you know walk of the mill let's see how this goes and he wasn't fucking with it oh so Julie Roberts was already booked honey I for the sake of this story yeah sure And then Samuel or Sam Neill. He's in Jurassic Park. Don't ask me which one. You know, I don't watch the movies, but he's from Jurassic Park. Sam Neill, Tom Conti. We don't know him. And Charles Gordon tested for the part as well. We don't know Tom Conti and Charles Grodin. Grodin. That's his name. Charles Grodin. is the dad, the man, in all the Beethoven movies. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. I was like, he's not hot enough for this. Not familiar with his work like that. You've seen his face, though. His face looks familiar, too? Yeah. And then, so, Richard Greer, who gets the part as Edward, initially refused the part, but when he met with Roberts, she persuaded him, and he eventually agreed to play Lewis. He reportedly started off much more active in his role, pursuing Julia Roberts' character more, you know, not aggressively, but more, you know, interested. Gary Marshall, the director, took him aside and said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dick. I don't think so. In this movie, one of you moves and one of you doesn't. Guess which one you are. The guy who doesn't make any moves. Keep still. Okay. Roberts was not the first choice for the role of Vivian and was not wanted by Disney. They named literally every woman in Hollywood who was up and about during this time for this role before they picked her. Many other actresses were considered. Marshall originally wanted Karen Allen for the role. You know Karen Allen. She's in something. She's in that... Indiana Jones. Yeah. I get Indiana Jones and then the guy 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 originally considered for the role, but she declined. Auditions went to many better known actresses of the time, including Molly Ringwald, who turned it down as she felt there was something icky about the story. I'm surprised she turned it down. No, literally when I was watching this movie and I was doing my research, I was just like, why wouldn't they put Molly Ringwald in here? I was like, was nobody thinking about Molly Ringwald? So then I read that she turned it down. Because I feel like in another movie, we talked about how she didn't want to play the same character. And I feel like this would have been like a little... Right. This would have been great for her to branch out. Winona Ryder auditioned. You know Winona Ryder. Yeah. I know Winona. Okay. you never know with you but was turned down because Marshall the director thought she was too young Jennifer Connelly was also dismissed for the same reason Emily Lloyd I don't think we know her turned it down as it conflicted with her shooting for another film Drew Barrymore Patricia Arquette Brooke Shields Uma Thurman and Kristen Davis also auditioned for the role of Vivian. Meg Ryan, who was the studio and Marshall's top choice, also turned it down. According to a note written by Marshall, Mary Steenburgen was also amongst the first choices. That's a lot of people. We're not done. Diane Lane came very close to being cast. The script was much darker at the time. They had gone as far as like costume fittings, but due to scheduling conflicts, she could not accept. Michelle Pfeiffer, you know Michelle Pfeiffer, right? Right? Hairspray. Grease 2. Michelle Pfeiffer turned down the role saying she did not like the script's tone. Daryl Hannah was considered but believed the role was degrading to women. Daryl Hannah, she plays the lady without the eyeball in Kill Bill. okay now see if they got the I wonder what script they got because if I got the first script maybe I would have said no too it seems like everybody was getting seven different like yeah scripts yeah one person got it when it was a comedy another person got it when it was a drama another person got it when it was an under rewrites I wonder what Molly Ringroll got it because if she got it dark I could see why she said no if she got a light she should have said yeah yeah I agree because it's like at that point you really don't even know what you're turning down right Because what you get right now and then the final product is something completely different. Yeah. I would do, you know what I would do as an actor? I'd be like, this sounds good. I'm going to show up for the first week. If I don't like it, I'm calling my lawyer. 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 of this ABC contract right now and bring me over to Netflix immediately. Yeah, I'm out. Find someone who can. You can't do it, but find somebody who will. That's some bullshit. That was some... It's like, I guess I'm working overtime, guys. Right. She said, if you don't do it, I found somebody who can. Okay. An Italian actress, we don't know her, was considered, but... They were like, no, her accent's too thick. Jennifer Jason Lee had auditioned. I don't think we know her. Leah Thompson unsuccessfully auditioned 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 had auditioned. Jason Lee. Is that the one from Sex and the City? No, we don't know this lady. But Charlotte from Sex and the City was in here at some point. okay so after all these other actresses turned it down the role went to 21 year old Roberts a relatively unknown actress who only had the sleeper hit Mystic Pizza under her belt and the yet to be released Still Magnolias that's all she had Still Magnolias hadn't even hit the movie screens yet Have you seen Still Magnolias? I have not, and I don't think I ever will. And she was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Still Magnolias. So yeah, she got the role. And then Shelley Michelle acted as her body double in the risque scenes and in the film's publicity poster, which I did not know. So in that poster, the picture of 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 double for that, I don't know. I'm skinny. I ain't that skinny. What? They can edit like that back then? That's what I'm saying. But then when I look at it, I was like, why you playing a dude look like her body do look a little off from the rest of the head? Just slightly. Now that you mention it. But interesting thing about Shelly, she has been called the most famous body double in Hollywood. The Shelly person? Yeah. She had the best body. I think, you know, okay, so when we 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. The first thing I thought was like, that body is fucking T. Yes. That's definitely the body double. oh that's what I would do as an actor like y'all I didn't know that was a thing I didn't know that was something either I thought it would it would make sense because I'm like I'm not there's no way guys it's not happening I'm sorry it's not happening I'm not calling Shelly call her immediately I'm not getting that skinny for this one scene see if she's available that oh wow I just left Chick-fil-a I can't fucking do it yeah I'm just an actor I can't do it all people watch it 1990. That's right. Julia Roberts. She's doing her thing. Which McCall it. He had done his thing. But not as popular as he used to be. I would imagine. 30 million. For the budget? Yeah. No. It's 1990. Okay. 25 million. No. 20 million? No.$10 million.$14 million. You want to pay people like that?$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. I don't know. I don't recommend you go down. Oh,$100 million. No. 150? No. 160? No. I'm jumping. 200? No. Am I going crazy? No. Oh, 250? No. 300? No. There's no way it may more than 300 million. 400? No. 500.$463 million. No way. The film saw the highest number of ticket sales in the U.S. ever for a romantic comedy. They was making money like that back then? Yeah. The film grossed$463 million worldwide and at the time of its release was the fifth highest grossing film of all time. Yes. Worldwide. Behind E.T., Star Wars. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Jaws. 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 Last Crusade with$474. And then Jaws with$470. They had$463. It was also the highest grossing... R-rated film released by Walt Disney Studios, holding the record for 34 years until Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine surpassed it in 2024. Pretty Woman catapulted Robert's superstardom, earning her the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy, or Musical, in addition to her first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. That's iconic. Isn't it? I think it deserved it.$463 million. The fact that it was under all those action movies and it's just like a romantic movie. And it's a romance movie. 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 paying people. Seriously, for$463 million, I don't care if I'm unknown or not, I want$10 million. Off bat. I could retire off of that. If they had a good contract where it's like, I make money based on how good the movie does as an actor, I would sign up for that. Yeah, JF, the writer, he should be sitting pretty. He should be done. He shouldn't have to do anything else, in my opinion. Unfortunately, it just goes back to the studio. But that's enough money to go around. 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 million and 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. They can't do it like they used to, bruh. They don't. They don't have the range. They don't have the range. And, you know, it just takes a lot to get people interested, you know. What a shame. Cast! Richard Greer. Greer. I didn't know if it was Gear Greer. Richard Greer as Edward Lewis, a wealthy corporate executive. Julia Roberts as Vivian Ward, a free-spirited Hollywood streetwalker, sex worker. Ralph... Bellini as Jim Morris, the owner of Morris Industries, the company that is troubled that Edward is trying to take over and sell for parts. Jason Alexander as Philip Stuckey, Edward's insensitive lawyer. Hector Alonso Alonso Alonso. L. Elizondo. Hector Elizondo. Sure. As Bernard Bernie Thompson, the manager and soft-hearted hotel manager. Laura San... John Coma? Sure. As Kit... You're right. Let us begin. So the first character we're introduced, which I thought was shocking. It's not Julia Roberts-Vigan. It is Edward. He's at a party. That is thrown by... That's in Beverly Hills. Beverly Hills. He's at a party that is... Beverly Bills, bitch. It's expensive out there. You know what I'm saying? Y'all talk about Beverly Hills. Y'all ain't seen shit until y'all been to Beverly Bills. You hear me? Bitch, wait. I really thought you were about to say someone that was more expensive. I was actually like, whoa. That's where the real wealth at. You got me. But we meet Edward. He's at a party that's being thrown for him by his lawyer, Philip. Edward's nowhere to be found. He's upstairs on the phone with his wife. His girlfriend. It's not his girlfriend? Oh, that was his girlfriend because he just got divorced. Recent divorce, eh? He's not recently divorced. His girlfriend recently broke up. He's on the phone with his girlfriend. They're chit-chatting. She's like, I never see you. I talk to your secretary more than I talk to you. And he's like, it could be done then. And she said, bet. And he said, get your things out the apartment. And that was it. She said she was going to get her stuff out the apartment. Yeah, it was over. It was very easy. I was like, damn, y'all just break up that quick? I was like, yeah, y'all must have not. I was like, good for her because she was very like, you know what? My stuff will be out of your apartment by the time you get back. So good for her. So he's on this trip. He's out in Los Angeles for business. He resides in New York. He's only in town for like a week. So at this point, he's over the party. He wants to head back to his hotel in Beverly Hills. He borrows his lawyer's stick car and he gets in the car. Any stick car? Shift. Stick shift. Not a manual. He gets in the car. He doesn't know how to drive stick, 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 get home. There's no GPS. He doesn't know how to drive the car. He's not from there. He's not from there. So he gets lost. He gets lost. So cut to, we meet Vivian. Vivian is Julia Roberts. She's a sex worker. She lives at a shitty little apartment. 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 the streets. First... She got to find her roommate, Bestie, Kit. Kit is out with her drug dealer slash boyfriend. Maybe, yeah. Yes. He's not her pimp, but he's like pimp adjacent. Yeah. He's up and coming pimp. Her potential pimp. Yes. And it's like, where is our rent money? Because they have rent money. But unfortunately, Kit spent it to pay back or to buy more drugs. So that rent money is gone. So they really need to get to work that night. So they hit the corner, their spot, between some famous star and another famous star. I forgot the star's names that they stay on. But they're working their corner. They're working their corner. They're working their corner. And then, so Edward, who is lost, finds his way on Hollywood Boulevard. Yes, it's Hollywood Boulevard. And he pulls over. Kit sees this lovely car and she's like, hey, Julia. This one's for you. Vivian. This one's for you. You got him. So Vivian pulls up and she's like, hey, good looking. Can I get you anything? He's like, directions. And she's like, yeah. I'll give you directions for five bucks. And he's like, you're kidding. She's like, make it 20. And he's like, you can't charge me for directions. And she's like, I can do whatever I want to do. I'm not lost. And for whatever reason, he tells her to hop in. She gets in the car and he's like, just show me how to get to Beverly Hills, please. She's like, sure. Where are you staying? She tells him where he's staying and she directs him to his location. While they're in the car, they're chit-chatting. They're getting to know each other. They're exchanging pleasantries. They're talking about the car that he's driving and how he can't drive it. And he basically is like, can you drive it? And she's like, you for real? And he's like, yeah, I don't know 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 to afford herself. And she is escorting him to whatever hotel he's staying at. He even asked her, okay, so, like, how much do y'all make, like, a night? As in, like, you, a typical prostitute 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's pretty steep. And she's like, well, yeah, I can 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? Yeah. I think she's just saying that for him. I guess she changes it based on the clientele. Clientele, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So... I say$100 every minute, every time I talk to you. But I guess she's saying that thinking like, okay, this guy would only pay for like two hours, so I'd only get like$200. I'm thinking she's looking at that car and be like, he can afford it. Right. Right, right, right, right. So... She's smart. They... ultimately arrive at his hotel they both get out she expresses how fun it was driving the car um and they kind of say goodbye and he's like okay are you gonna be all right and she's like yeah i'll just catch a cab with the 20 that you're you owe me and i'll be fine he's like okay so she goes she waits for a cab and then he actually has a change of heart and asks her if she'd be willing to spend the night with him. But he not really on that, you know, he not really on that fucking shit. He was just like, ah, you know, this, this pretty, you know, high energetic young girl. Like she's on the streets. Like I'll just give her some money and she can stay with me for the night. Very. Mind you, he just broke up with his girlfriend. Yeah. He just broke up with his girlfriend. He not on that shit. He not one of them. Okay. Yes. Even though they're all one of them, but. For the sake of the story, Edward is in. So they go into the hotel. 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 the front desk lady to set up some champagne and some strawberries so they can enjoy the night. 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 ocean blue skirt. Yeah. That has like cutouts and it's connected to that white top with like a silver metal hoop. I wonder if her black boots- I wonder if I dressed up as her for Halloween. Would the kids know who I was trying to be? They would want to. They need to. They would want to. So, yes. That dress is so hard to come by, though. Like, how could you even? Like, that is a... That has to be a costume at this point. I don't know. I don't think it would be easy to find. Not as easy as it would be to find the dress from 13 going on 30. Now, that one I've seen everywhere. A couple times there. Yeah. But, yes, they head upstairs and... And they're chilling. Like you had mentioned, he's not with the shits. So mainly, Julia Roberts is like, she put on... 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, so when do you want to have sex? And she's like, you know, I'm like, you don't have to talk to me. Like I'm a for sure fire thing. Like I'm, I'm a guarantee late. 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 you for the whole night? And she's like 300. He's like, okay. He gives her the 300 and he's like, now let's just relax. Right. Right. Right. Right. I'm not trying to have sex with you right now. And I guess, you know, a few hours have gone by at this point. And yeah, Now it's time to collect, I guess. So she looks at him. He looks at her. She goes over to him and she's basically, you know, unbuttoning his shirt. And at this point, I guess he's kind of like tired of, you know, I mean, there's a beautiful woman in front of you and you paid for the night. So I guess he's going to take advantage of the night. And she basically asked him, you know, what do you want me to do? And he's like, well, what do you do? And she says everything. But I don't kiss on the mouth. And he says, neither do I. And so they do whatever you, you know, leave it up to your imagination. They do whatever. They bone. Yeah. And now it's the next morning. So in the morning, Julia wakes up. She's in her lovely hotel robe. She finds Edward at the dining table. He's got this beautiful breakfast prepared. But at this point, she wants to know more about him. So Edward shares with Julia. Vivian. I keep calling her Julia. Edward shares with Vivian that what he does for a living is basically he buys businesses that are going under and then he basically sells them for parts. And he's in town to do the same thing for a ship building company. So he's in town to buy a ship building company so he can sell it for parts. And she's like, that's great do you mind if I take a bath before I leave because she's ready to go he's got to get to work but then he gets a call from so while she's taking a bubble bath he gets a call from his lawyer friend Phillip and Phillip's like the guy from Seinfeld yes and this is I think this is before Seinfeld came out yeah it is it's like yeah he was like I read that he was he was cast for both of them around the same time oh fun good for him that's that's iconic these two great things anywho So Philip calls and is like, hey, we have to do this. You're supposed to go to dinner with the shipyard people that were supposed to take over, like the head of the company. Do you have a date? We also have a lot of things this weekend. Do you have a date to bring? I can find you a girl. And Edward's like, you know what? 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 the bathroom where Vivian is taking her bubble bath. And he has a proposition for her. And he asks her, how would you like to spend the week together? with me. I want to pay you for the week. You will be my date to social events, social gatherings, dinners, etc. How much, how much, how much, how much, how much? And basically, he says, you know, I just don't, it would be easier for me to just take you as 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 they agreed on$3,000. I think she should have started at$5,000. She should have started at$10,000. Thank you. In the 1990s,$3,000 is$7,000 now. Pretty good. Pretty good. I think she, I think she should have, she should have figured out what$10,000 was. Right. Cause he got, he got it. Right. And then, so basically Vivian asked him like, you're a good looking guy. Like you can find any girl. Like why are you, you can find any girl for free. Like, why are you trying to pay for, For me to do what you can find and girl to do for free. And he's basically like, I don't need any attachments, any romantic interest. This is strictly business. This is strictly transactional. And I just need you available at my 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. So he's off to work. And he taxed Vivian with, he gets her extra money. Because not only is she getting$3,000, she's getting like spending money too. So he taxed her with the duties of finding clothes to wear. I need you to look classy. Not like a... Not super flashy. Not super, you know, revealing. Yes. More conservative. Yes. And Vivian's like, so boring. Because that night they have dinner and she needs, you know, something nice. Let's start there. So he's off to work and Vivian's off 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 her street clothes on, her working girl outfit. Yeah, minus the wig. Um, so like, she's got like thigh 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 on Hollywood Boulevard. But I feel like even today I'd be like, okay, that's a little lot for right now, but she's not a, she's not a sex worker. That's just how I was going to dress back then. Like the way she was dressing, like, Oh, this is a sex worker. Like we're not going to studio 54, honey. Yeah. Yeah. So she walks into the first boutique and she's looking around and the shop girl is looking right back at her. And the shop girl is like, can I help you? And Vivian's like, no, I'm just looking. 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 dress that's on a mannequin. And she's like, well, how much is this? And the shop girl says, well, I don't think that would fit you. And Vivian said, I didn't ask if it would fit me. I was asking how much it was. And the shop girl says, it's far too 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 brings in her shop girl co-worker and she asks her, shop girl number two, how much do you think this dress costs? And shop girl number two is like, oh, that dress is far too expensive for you. And shop girl number one is basically like, You are not welcomed in this store. You need to leave. I can't be the first woman up in here with my man's credit card 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 person of color, not a white person, but one of you, she's not of the social class. So Vivian's kicked out on her ass.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: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 to recoup. Like she's like, I mean, it's the rudest thing ever. So Vivian heads back into the hotel. She walks in. the um the manager hotel who noticed her yesterday or noticed her leaving because you know she's dressed a certain way and not that kind of cocktail comes to this hotel often so he's already peep game so when she came back he's like are you supposed to be here but he's saying he's saying it nice but not too nice but he's like um who is you she's like yes i'm staying with edward edward who he acts don't know his last name um but i'm on the penthouse he doesn't believe her And she sees the elevator operator. The bellhop. The bellhop. Who helped her yesterday when she came in. And he confirms that she's with Edward. And she's like, great, can I go now? And he was like, no. Come to my office and let's have a chit chat. So in his office, he sits her down. And he basically tells her, like, you know, this isn't the type of hotel where sex workers should be, basically. But Edward is an important clientele. For important clienteles, we make exceptions. So he was like, just to verify, you are Mr. Edward's niece. Okay. What does she say? You guys are related. You're a relative. He asks him if she is a relative of Mr. Lewis. And she's like, sure. And he's like, so I'm assuming you're his... Niece. And she's like, yeah. And he's like, great. So I would assume that once Mr. Edward leaves, you will leave too. And I will no longer see you back at this hotel. He's like, you don't have any other uncles. Do you? And she's like, no. I mean, sir, if, if you're a rich ass client, I want to bring sex workers back. Like that ain't got nothing to do with me. You need to talk to them. Your important clients. Exactly. I'm just working. I'm just trying to get my money up. You know what I'm saying? Precisely. He's like, okay. And the next time you come through my hotel, you come through my lobby, you need to be dressed appropriately. So make sure you find yourself like something better to wear. And she says... already frustrated, already embarrassed from shop girl number one and number two. She's like, no, that's the issue that I'm having. I have all this money and I'm trying to spend it because I need a dress for tonight and nobody wants to buy me a dress or sell a dress to me and everyone has been rude to me, including you, and I just need a dress for tonight. I know, poor thing. And she starts to cry. She gets a little emotional because she's been profiled all day. Right. And the hotel manager, what's his name, Barney? Barney gives her a handkerchief, and he makes a phone call. He calls, I guess, some sort of department store lady that he knows. I like to think that's his girlfriend. They have a crush on each other. Oh, yeah, that's definitely his girl. He calls his other friend who works at Bloomingdale's, Neiman 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 was like, of course. Yes, I can. So Vivian goes over to the department store. The lady that spoke with Bernie is willing and happy to help her. And they find she's very nice to her. She's very sweet. And they find a dress. I love when, so I love when like after 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 dress secured. She's very happy. She goes back to the hotel. She goes to Barney and she says, thank you. You know, I really appreciate this. Um, but I'm also going to dinner night. I need to learn how to, you know, 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 the salad fork. Which one's the butter knife? Which one's the steak knife? Which one's the fish knife? I need to know these things. So Barney gives her a quick 101 rapid fire training in the etiquette of fine dining. Love me some Barney. Barney. So Barney and Vivian are really hitting it off. He's really helping her. He's like her fairy godmother. he always plays like a very like fatherly figure because he's in Princess Diaries as well did you when you were watching this were you like why is everybody why is the entire cast of Princess Diaries in this movie who else oh yes yes yes the so Barney is in here and he plays Joe as we know in Princess Diaries but then when Vivian goes on the other shopping spring the store clerk is Paolo. Yeah. But then also, I don't know if you noticed, but one of the receptionists at the front desk of the hotel is also the secretary, Clarice's secretary from Princess Diaries. And you know, I thought this too. I was like, why is everybody in Princess Diaries in this movie? You want to know why? Tell me, tell me, tell me. You want to know why? Because the director of Pretty Woman is the same director. Of Princess Diaries. And we talked about this when we did Princess Diaries. Do you remember talking about this? Absolutely not. So Gary Marshall, the guy who directed Pretty Woman, is the director of the Princess Diaries. Do you know who Gary Marshall is? This is how I made you remember him when we did the Princess Diaries. Okay. He is in Hocus Pocus. Yeah. He plays the devil in Hocus Pocus. 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 directed by Kenny Ortega, so I actually don't know. Maybe he produced it. I don't know. 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 the front desk of the hotel and who also plays Clarice's assistant, that's his daughter. Oh. Nepotism. We love nepotism. Yes. No, we don't. So, yeah. It is late in the evening. Edward has returned to the hotel. Barney goes up to him and he's like, hey, I met your... I was like, I think we're both aware of the fact that she's not my niece. I love how he's like, you know that 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 want to know we're on the same page and she's waiting for you by the bar. Edward goes into the bar. He looks for Vivian, doesn't recognize her, doesn't see her. Vivian turns around while his back's turned. He turns around. He sees her for the first time in her new get up. Her cocktail dress. Her hair up. Honestly. Hair done. Skin looking great. In an expensive dress. I prefer her hair down personally. Of course. Her natural hair down. The curly. I prefer that. Because when our hair was up. 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 plans to take over the business once Morris kicks it. Yes, they arrive at dinner to discuss serious matters. The whole time, they just go back and forth, business stuff. The whole time, Vivian has this whole fun scene where everything she does She's confused by escargot. They're bringing her escargot. She's like, what the fuck is this? 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 she knew. She knew the salad fork, but they didn't bring it out a salad. They bring out ice cream, but the ice cream has a leaf on top. So she eats the leaf. Why? She doesn't know what she's doing. All that practicing, it went to waste. Meanwhile, Edward is there to discuss business. And ultimately, Edward is trying to take over Mr. Morris' company so he can sell it for parts. Mr. Morris being the old bitter man that he is. He is not ready to part ways with his company. Don't call him bitter like Morris. Well, not bitter, but I don't know. He believes in his company. Whatever. It's time to let it go. He's going to be rich regardless. Edward, however, has like 10 million shares of his company. So basically Edward can do whatever the fuck he wants because he owns like majority shares. So he can sell it, buy it, disable it, whatever he wants to do. So Morris and Morris's grandson are going back and forth with Edward. There is no resolution. Edward is basically like, I'm still gonna take your company in some sense. I do wanna mention in this scene, we found out that like a month earlier, Edward's dad died, but they had like a tumultuous relationship. So they didn't really talk. But I say that because I feel like throughout this movie, Morris is like a father figure for Edward. Kind of. You think? Kind of. I think he likes him. I think that's why he chooses spoiler in the end. He chooses not to destroy his company. Yeah. I guess so. Because he likes him. But yes, dinner does not go well. Business is not doing well. And Vivian didn't figure out how to, you know, use a fork correctly. But better luck next time. So yes, that's how they end the night. The next morning. Edwards, once again, off to work. He's about to leave Vivian in bed. And he's like, okay, here's some more money to go buy some more clothes because we have more things to do. Minch is like, I'm surprised you didn't buy more outfits yesterday. And she was saying that when she had 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 to fix it. I'm surprised they don't go back to the same place, but he picks another place. Yeah. Because that would have been like... I mean, the way he handled it was very like, I'm going down to the school because my daughter has been bullied. Yes. It was kind of cute, but also like, 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 a guy from... The Princess Diaries. Paulo. He runs it. But when Edward walks in, he's like, we're going to spend an obscene amount of money. I need you to get all your shop girls, all your saleswomen, and I need them to cater to Vivian here. And whatever is almost as pretty as her, let's pull it out. will be spending an insane amount of money. So they have like a fashion montage. 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 the restaurant. She sees a guy at the store. She sees a guy with a tie that she thinks Edward would like. She asks the guy for the tie. Paolo's like, give him, give her the tie now. She's like, Edward would really love that tie. He takes it. She gets a tie. She's doing great. She leaves the store in a whole new 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 her waist. She looks expensive. Yes. She's got multiple bags. And she moseys on down. Real date drive. Looking like a bad B. And she walks in. to that very store the previous day where shop girl number one and number two didn't pay her no mind. She walks into that store. She goes up to shop girl number one. She says, hey, do you remember me? And the shop girl's like, no. And she's like, well, I was in here yesterday. And shop girl's like, oh, and you wouldn't help me. You work on commission, don't you? Shop girl's like, yeah. Vivian holds up her bags. 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, you remember that episode? Yes. That's all I think about. I love that episode when they tell the story. It's so funny. I love when Dwight retells it. He's like, so there's a... This lonely sex worker has all the drapings of extravagant wealth.
UNKNOWN:Yes. Yes. Yes.
SPEAKER_00:And then Andy's like, you're butchering it. And then Kelly comes in and finishes it. I was like, ah, great. But yes. So while Vivian's off doing that, Edward is back in the office. He's with Phillip. At this point, he's having, he's starting to begin to have second thoughts about screwing over Mr. Morris and his company. So that's what's going on in the background with him. Girl, every time throughout this whole movie, I was like, can we... Every time they show Edward and the freaking lawyer and they was talking about business, I was like, 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 nothing about what he doing about his company. I don't care about the business. I was like, was this really necessary? I don't care. I hate when it was talking business talk. Wrap that shit up. And I think what's interesting about this movie, because I think... julia roberts is the star of the show but i feel like they also tried to make edward i feel like they're trying to make their the characters 50 50 right yeah that's that's fair yeah i mean i think their characters are 50 but i would prefer it to have not been 50 50 50 because give me give me all julia roberts please right because even that the the fact that the film started with edward and not vivian i thought that was crazy that was kind of crazy I didn't think 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 guess they're 50-50, so. Even though the movie's called Pretty Woman, and she is the pretty woman. So that night, Edward comes home. Vivian greets him with dinner and 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 the bath Edward talks about his personal life and his relationship with his father now he went to therapy and now how he's upset with his dad because his dad divorced his mom and his mom originally he was like a teacher and his mom had all the money and he basically divorced his mom and she died and he took all her money and he said like the third no that's not what happened he said no his dad had the money No, I thought the mom had 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 and the mom. Okay. And then the mom died. Okay. So he had all the money and just took it with him. Oh, okay. That makes sense. Because the mom was a teacher because the dad was a businessman like Edward. Oh, okay. And then Everett said the third company that he bought and dismantled was the company that his dad was a CEO of. So he was really trying to chase that. Get back at you, dad. Right. He was trying to get his due revenge. Yeah. But this scene reminds me like or made me think about like what I feel like men sometimes get when they try to get sex workers. It was just like someone to talk to. Like he's like he's like telling like from jump to me. I feel like he always says. expressed himself to vivian was like yeah he just wanted somebody to talk to it's like a mini therapy session right he wasn't even even he wasn't even even he wasn't even interested in having sex with her yeah he just wanted to talk to somebody right um but the next day is another function it's a polo match so um Edward takes Vivian to this polo match. She wears this beautiful polka dotted brown dress. With a hat to match. And the purse to match. Loved it. Oh, I didn't notice the purse match. The purse was like brown. It wasn't polka dotted, but it was like brown. I really loved it. And in the scene, he's wearing the tie that Vivian got him. It's like a little snake and very cute. But throughout, so Edward's introducing Vivian to people. Everyone's rude. Everyone's like, oh, you're the new flavor of the month. I thought rich people were supposed to have some class. That's so rude. Right. Someone says like, oh, you're the new flavor of the month. She's like, I'm not here to date him. I'm just here for sex. I'm using him for sex. Yeah. She walks away. And they're like, oh my God, how did she say that? But I'm like, you just said something rude yourself. Right. But you just sugarcoated it. So she's just combating you with your rudeness. Yes. So while they're there, Vivian is introduced to Phillip by Edward for the first time. And Phillip is like, oh, this is the girl that you've been running around Los Angeles with. And glad to finally meet her. And then so he starts asking questions about her. Like, oh, you know, where is she from? Where did y'all meet? What does she do? And Edward's like, Edward is like, she's in sales. 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 working for Morris trying to infiltrate your company to get secrets to prevent this business sale going down. And Edward's like, you're overreacting. Because right before that, Phillip saw Vivian talking to Morris' grandson. So he's like, oh, they must know each other or whatever. So he's on high alert. Yeah, because Philip really wants this business still to go down. They've been working on it for years. He's taking this very seriously. Every time Edward turns his neck, has a blink or just a little look of, you know, ah, maybe we shouldn't go through with this. Edward, I mean, Philip loses his shit. So Philip is very invested in this. Blame him. Because if you're working on this 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. 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 Hollywood Boulevard. Phillip is ecstatic. And Phillip thinks it's the bee's knees. He's joked. He's like, ha, ha, ha, ha. He's like, oh, okay. So then what does Phillip do? He walks away from Edward. Edward kind of whispers to himself. He's like, I regret telling you already. Right. And Phillip walks over to Vivian where she's over somewhere in the distance. He basically is like, so Edward tells me you're a hooker, huh?
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00: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 get together. Huh? Huh? And Vivian's like, sure. Why don't we do that? Glasses and like rubs it along her. On her shoulder. You can't even touch her. And he's a married man, by the way. Married and short and balding. Sorry. All of the things. Back the fuck up. And so he walks away and he's like, yeah, think about it. And Vivian is feeling humiliated, disgusted, embarrassed, sad. And so when they go back to the hotel room, Vivian and Edward, she lets him have it. She yells at him. She is astonished at the idea that he told somebody what she does or how they really met. And she says, you know, out of all 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 believe you 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 so cheap today. I've never felt as cheap as you've made me. And he says, I find that very hard to believe. 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 her hands. She's like looking down. She's like, give me my money. I want to go. Yeah. She won't even make eye contact with him. She's got all her stuff balled up in her. Cause she ain't got no bag. She got all her stuff balled up in her arms and she won't make eye contact with him. And she's just standing to the side and she's like, give me my money and I want to get out of here. So he doesn't say anything. He gives her, he gives her the money and places it on the bed. And then he walks away. She looks at the money and walks out of the room. She don't take it. He turns around, sees that the money 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 was jealous that she was talking to David, Morris' grandson. Morris' grandson. He didn't like it. It made him jealous. And she was like, there's nothing 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. At this point, It's time for Vivian to share her story. And she tells Edward basically how she got to sex work. So she's from San Francisco. She's from Georgia. Georgia. And her mom said that she always liked trash men. And she's always been chasing around trash men. And that's how she got to Los Angeles. Chasing around a trash man. It didn't work out. She met Kit. And Kit was... a sex worker and she talked about how much money she was making and how good it was she made it seem so glamorous yes and you know Vivian needed the money because she ain't got none so she got to sex work and you know Edward kind of acts like you didn't think about trying anything else and she was like I mean I worked at like a fast food restaurant a few times you know Kit made it seem so appealing and she was like I didn't have you know the guts to like go back home Right. So she's like, I mean, no one wakes up and says, you know, I want to be a prostitute. It just kind of happens. My favorite part is like, he tells her like, you're so bright and special and all this. And she says, the bad stuff is easier to believe. Because while she might, it's, she doesn't believe that. Like she believes that you're never amount to anything. That night or the next night. Edward's supposed to be at work, stressing about his job. Phillip is like, what's going on? Your head's not in the game. He says something along the lines like, is this about that hooker? Edward says, watch out. Watch yourself. That's my girl you talking about. Watch yourself. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, sir. Edward has plans for him and Vivian. He tells her to get dressed. She's dressed in this beautiful red stunning dress that I wish I would kill to have. Probably one of the most iconic dresses in film and television history. Yes. And he has another surprise for her. He rips out this jewelry box. He says it's just a loan, but he opens it up and it's this diamond studded necklace. Worth a quarter of a million dollars. She has the iconic scene where she goes to touch it and he slams it and she goes, ha ha ha ha ha ha. That was improvised. Of course. Psychotic. All the great moments are. You know, I love, you've seen The 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. 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 her mind. It's hilarious. But yes. We should do that movie sometime. We should. We should do that now. The surprise is, the gag is, they're about to hop on Edward. So she doesn't know where they're going. Edward brings her to a... Opera! No. Well, he brings her to the airport. First they get on the private jet 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. 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 a wealthy man. How fitting, right? Because that's what's happening in 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 watch something with a... Singing and not speaking English? Well, they have... Do they have English operas? They can't be good. You gotta watch an opera in Italian. They must be foreign for it to be good. Yeah, they must be. I don't know. singing and you know i'm speaking english i'm just like i don't know what's going on i know i have to i just it's gotta be gorgeous um so that night vivian and edward back in the hotel and ed vivian i don't know convinces him to take the day off tomorrow and that morning he takes the day off and they spend the day and philip loses his shit 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 to do? At this point, we're just sitting around waiting to see if someone takes a deal or not. Don't we have... I feel like the higher up in the company you get, the less you have to do because someone else needs 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 shoes and he touches the grass. He reads Shakespeare to her, I think. They go to like a small Chinese restaurant. They're adorable. They have a great time. They spend the day together. They spend the day together. So that night, Vivian gets out the shower or something. She goes, I guess, like to see her man ready to make love. But he's like in bed asleep. And she thinks he's like the cutest thing in the world. And while he's sleeping... She kisses him on the cheek, on the other cheek, and she kisses him on the mouth. She breaks her rule because she don't kiss on the mouth. Thank God. And then he wakes up. And then he kisses her back. And they have the cutest kiss ever. This scene, I was like, this movie's iconic. That scene, I was like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was watching the scene, I said, this might be one of the best sex scenes I've ever seen in a movie. I said, this is a good one. And you know what? I haven't seen this movie in so long. So this whole time I was ready to be like, damn, this movie should be problematic and should like... It does. It does pretty good. It's just hard to... 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 glamorizing prostitution in like the 1990s a little bit too much. This isn't going to happen. This isn't going to happen to anybody. Yeah. Like girls don't... Don't try it. Don't make your way to Hollywood Boulevard. Do not give it a go. This isn't happening to you. This is not going to happen to you. You might get kicked if you're lucky. 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. I think Vivian... probably thinks he's asleep and she whispers I love you and she closed her eyes and then Edward opens his and he's like heard her he heard her why is this movie so fucking cute girl she left him after four days huh right four days I mean it's so it's so easy to fall in love with someone who's handsome nice rich rich rich rich rich rich rich rich rich it's not like it's hard yeah it's not like it's hard If he was poor, then you could try. We'd have a different story. Right. So that morning, this is their last day together. Edward is sad, you know, that this is the last day. Soon he has to go back to New York City. And, you know, he didn't tell her 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 say dynamic, but he likes their time together. He likes this setup. He likes this setup. And he offers to get her a condo, give her an allowance, pay for her bills, and he'll come visit. Right. And then give her a credit card. She can go shop as much as she wants. Yes. And Vivian's like, okay, what else? Then you just pass by through town every now and then. And yeah. And bang me when you want to bang 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, first this will get you off the street. Right. And she's like, that's just geography. Period. And then she walks off. I don't know. When she walks off, she heads to the balcony. She looks over and she, Tells this dramatic story about when she was a kid, when her mom used to lock her in a closet. She used to always dream about this white knight that would come and save her. And that's what she wants from love. She wants it to be true love, not like a transactional thing. And he says something along the lines... He's like, I've never treated you like a prostitute. And he gets a call. He has to go to work. And as he leaves, she goes, you just did. Yeah. Treat me like a prostitute. So... And basically Edward is kind of like, look, this is all I can give right now. Like, yeah, this is all I got. You know, you got to meet me where I'm at, honey. Because he's like, well, what do you think this is going to be? Yeah. She's like, fuck, I don't know. She doesn't want to be treated like. Right. She doesn't want to be treated as some call girl. Right. And it's like you're kind of getting rid of your power. Yeah. I feel like a part of the reason to be a sex worker, as long as you have a pimp, is you kind of make your own rules. You got your own money. And he would be like her pimp. And yeah, and that was her whole thing at the beginning. When she was first talking to Kit, she's like, yeah, if we're going to do this, we ain't doing no 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. This is our thing. We're our own pimps. Right. Because let him come into town one day and... And then he'll come over with this pimp proposal. I could be your number one pimp. Right. I could be the best pimp you ever 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 this game for. It's a no for Vivian. It's a no for me, dog. So yes, Edward is swept away for this urgent call, business call, because today's the day, it's like the last day of this business thing with the Morris and the shipping company. We gotta make a deal! Right. While that's going on, Kit comes to visit Vivian at the office with Edward. He meets with Morris and... I guess, you know, after all this week and his dad dying and, you know, being with, uh, Vivian and Vivian, like along the line says, like, I feel like you really, like, I feel like you have feelings for Morris and that's why you're, you don't really want to sell his company. Like she, she's been like talking about like how she feels that he's, you have a hard, you have some compassion for this man and his business. So, and that's why you're hesitant 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 leave except for Morris. And in the meeting he tells Morris, um, I know you're in a rough spot. I do not want to sell your company anymore. I want to work with you to make it profitable again. And yeah, I want to make this happen. Yeah. He's basically like, I want to go in business with you. Yes. I want part of the, the shipping. What is it? A shipping mill. It's a shipping company, ship, ship making company. They got, they even got this new contract with the U S Navy and he wants to be a part of it. And he's like, I will not sell your company. Like I want to help it, make it thrive. Yes. And Morris is taking it back. He's like, Whoa, didn't see this one coming. And he's like, yeah, kind of had a change of heart. Of course that is all due to Vivian. And so the, the original deal is off 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 this company, sell it for its parts, and make millions. That's what they've been working on for years. That's what he wanted to do. That was his only goal, his only plan. Now, Edward's coming in, talking about something. We're not doing that anymore. I'm actually going into business with this guy. I want to help him. Philip's like, that's not what we're in the business of doing. We're in the business of ruining lives, not making them better. What the fuck? Philip's pissed. I love how Edward just like... He's like, y'all can go back in. And he leaves. Who? Edward. He leaves. He's like, y'all can go back into the office. Y'all go and figure that shit out. I'm gone. Yeah, I'm actually gone. Like, that you're not going to tell Phillip. Because Phillip walks over and he's like, these papers don't sign. Mr. Morris is like, yeah, we're going to business with each other. Don't leave me with this crazy man. Oh, Jesus. So back at the hotel... Vivian is packing up her thing. This just isn't going to work out 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 door asking for Edward. And Vivian says, Phillip not here. I thought he was with you. Phillip, no. Edward ain't up in there. You know good and well he ain't there.
UNKNOWN:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:That's where you look through the peephole. Yeah. Open the door like that. So Philip says, oh, I'll just wait for him to come back. Do you mind if I come in? And then Vivian says, sure, I guess not. Philip makes his way to the bar. He makes himself a drink and he basically is like, yeah. So today Edward broke this deal that we had been, uh, working on for months. Phillip's basically like, you know what? Edward's not with me anymore. He's with you now. And I guess he's upset about that. And he is like, you know, this deal has cost me a lot of money. But Edward, he doesn't seem to care. Not at all. Ever since he started messing around with you, he don't seem to care about anything. And you know what, Vivian? Maybe if I banged you the way Edward banged you, I wouldn't care about losing out on a million dollars like I did today. Vivian's like, I don't know what you're... Leave me alone. And he puts his hand on her thigh and she removes it. And then, of course, he... jumps on top of her. And he's like, you're just a fucking whore. And then he slaps her. And she's like, get off of me. Get off of me. Thank God. Edward comes in before Philip has time to commit this heinous act that he planned on committing. And Edward comes in, punches Philip in the face. And he's like, get out. And Philip is like, why could you? Why are you doing this? I would have followed you to the end of the earth. You, I've been with you for 10 years. 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 I let you do what you wanted to do. Screw people over and get rich while doing it. Get out. We're done here. It's over. It's just hilarious. I'm like, well, I don't used to like it too. Don't, don't make me. Right. Hold on. Yeah. Like we were in this together, bro. So I wonder, cause you said there was like a dark version of this. I wonder in the dark version. Is the assault happen? Maybe. Cause that would make sense. Like, I wonder if that was like a scene in it. It's like one of his business pal assault. Yeah. Yeah. I actually do want to read the dark version of this. I don't know if you'll ever be able to find that. I hate that. Release it. Tell me. I don't know why that would be accessible. But I just want to know what was the full original thought of it. So, after this incident, Vivian is now laying on the sofa with ice on her face um Edward is tending to her and you know after a few minutes she's like okay well I should probably go now and Edward's like yeah I see you packed up your stuff you don't have to leave today you know And she's like, I do have to leave, Edward. Come on. You know, there's always going to be, you know, a friend of yours, a business associate who thinks they can treat me the way Philip treated me today. And she's like, what are you going 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. Cut the shit. It's not where you're going. She wants fairy tale. She said, well, I think she leaves because she wants true love and this transactional thing is just not going to work. Yeah, this half-ass crap ain't going to work no more. Yeah. And before she goes, he pays her her$3,000. He does? Yeah, girl. Oh. She got money. Yeah. I missed that part. I forgot about the money. He pays her money. On her way out, she says goodbye to Bernie. And Bernie says, you're a good kid, kid. Something like that, I don't know. Atta girl. Atta girl. You did well. Or Bernie offers Vivian, one of the drivers, to drop her off. He drops her off at her apartment. And inside, I don't know if it's the next day or the same day, but we see her packing up her apartment. Vivian's sitting there and they're discussing that she's about to move. Kit. Kit, sorry. Kit plans to... Vivian plans to move to San Francisco to get a new job, to get her high school diploma, and to start fresh. To make something of herself. To make something out of her life. You can't turn tricks forever. Yeah. Tricks are for kids. She's probably like 20 in this movie. Yeah, she was 22. I think her herself was 22. Okay. She didn't look 22. She looked a little older. Back in the day, them young people looked old. I know. Old people look young. That's right. But yes, Vivian gives Kit some money and tells her that she has a lot of potential and, you know, can't do this forever, girl. And Kit's like, I'm going to go ahead and exit because I hate goodbyes. So I'm going to go. Back at the hotel, Edward is leaving. He's leaving. He asks Bernie to bring back like the diamond earrings and necklace that he loaned. And Bernie's like, yeah, I can do that. And he tells Edward, he's like, you know, I had one of our, my drivers drop her off at her apartment, you know, so we know where she lives. So I'm just going to let him drive you to the airport because he's, he's going home and I'll let you figure that out for yourself. Yeah. If you want to make any stops along the way, that's cool with us. Who won't stop you, Shawty? Vivian's at her apartment and Edward is, Decides to go on his way. Before he goes, he stops and gets flowers. We see Kit talking to a character from earlier who's going to be her new roommate. And Kit has basically decided to go to beauty school. She's like, yeah, you know, you got 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 had aspirations. 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. So I'm going to have to charge you a little extra more than I was charging Vivian. Cause you know, I got to get into beauty school, you know, can't turn. What do you mean? You're going to charge me that part. I'm like, Oh hell no. Do you own the apartment? Why are you charging extra? Oh, she did say I'm never going to be here, but no recharge the same. Thank you. But yes, we see Edward buy some flowers. Vivian's chilling in an apartment. She's looking out the window. 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 the sunroof 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. And then so she comes out of the window onto the terrace of her apartment. And... Edward, who is afraid of heights. Y'all know how them apartments be having them little ladders to each floor like they be doing in New York and all them other 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 escape to the top floor of that she has or that she's staying in in her apartment complex and he meets her and he's like he says what happens after the knight rescues the princess and she says she rescues him right back and then they kiss I thought this kiss was really weird I didn't like it but they kiss I like how the song from the opera plays in the background. Oh, I didn't even notice that. I'm assuming it's a song from the 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 well for Vivian and Edward. They share a kiss. They're hopeful that their romance will go on forever. I don't know how this is going to work. Do you think they last? No. Quick fire. No. Yeah, absolutely not. Not at all. I also think, I don't know how old he's supposed to be in this movie, but he's got to be 50. You know, I Googled it. So he was 40 when the movie was made. He looks older than 40, but he's 40. Yeah. Can you imagine being 22 and having like, day of 40 year old I mean it happens every day I mean it does but I don't know how they do it I wouldn't yeah so old the age gap alone yeah isn't gonna work out 20 years get out of here but maybe he can like so this is what I'm hoping you know they break up but he he's gonna help pay for her college you know he's always gonna be there for her but like oh yeah maybe yeah yeah yeah yeah He'll always give her a little something something. He'll always help her out when she needs it. She always calls him. He'll help her like open something up like a flower shop or a restaurant. Just like it's going to turn to a friendship. Partnership.
