00:00Mom, I found you a husband on Tinder.
00:27A husband?
00:30Vincent, I found a wife for you on the internet.
00:34You're joking, right?
00:37I just want someone to take care of you.
00:40I'll drop dead in front of you if you refuse this marriage.
00:44Fine.
00:46Please sign.
00:49Miss Clark, I'm not just some guy looking for a cheap thrill from a quick marriage.
00:54I'm only doing this for my mother.
00:56And me for my daughter, Mr. Cart.
00:59This is nothing more than a marriage of convenience.
01:02And I suggest that we keep it that way.
01:04Remain as strangers. We both have our own lives to live.
01:08Agree.
01:14Who doesn't look at each other when they get married?
01:20I heard that Mr. Williams is really picky about selecting a paralegal.
01:24Hundreds of applicants have been rejected.
01:26Of course it would be difficult. This is a top-notch law firm.
01:32Julia's away at school. You got yourself a husband.
01:35Now you can focus on your career.
01:37Even in your 40s, you've got this, Samantha.
01:41That's Andrew Williams.
01:43He's the number one lawyer in the country.
01:46Can you believe he's going to be your boss?
01:53Why does he look so familiar?
01:58So I'm sure you all are aware that I'm currently working on the most important project of my life.
02:02And it's a project that I'm working on right now.
02:06So I'm sure you all are aware that I'm currently working on the Myers-DeVores case.
02:10Why don't you all explain to me how you would help me win the case?
02:13Each of you got one minute.
02:16As your paralegal, I can do anything you want me to.
02:20Tim, get her out of here.
02:22That's the door. Go right through that.
02:29As a Yale School graduate, I can guarantee to win every case.
02:34Not my case. Your degree means nothing to me.
02:37You can help your way out.
02:43Tim?
02:44Her last job was as a paralegal, but that was about 18 years ago.
02:48Also around the same time she graduated valedictorian of her class.
02:53So what do you got for me, miss?
02:55I studied your previous divorce cases and collected some information from them.
03:00I think this might be helpful, Mr. Williams.
03:03And I organized them into different categories.
03:06This way it's easier to check. I like when things are organized.
03:11That's the best quality a paralegal could have.
03:13Wow. You put a lot of time and effort into this.
03:16Actually, it's really nothing compared to household chores.
03:19I used to be a housewife.
03:25You're hired.
03:27Really?
03:30I'll do my best, Mr. Williams.
03:32I'll do my best, Mr. Williams.
03:33What's your name?
03:34Samantha Clark.
03:36Samantha Clark?
03:39That's my wife's name.
03:44Pippet.
03:46Must be a coincidence. I mean, there's thousands of Samantha Clarks in this country.
03:51Right.
03:53Tim, can you show her to your desk?
03:55Oh, of course. Right this way, Miss Clark.
03:59Oh!
04:03I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. I'm not used to wearing high heels. I use the flats at home.
04:09It's all right.
04:11Stepping out of your comfort zone is always the hardest. You're doing great.
04:15Thanks.
04:17Miss Clark, your desk awaits.
04:25Just so you know, he's married.
04:28And I'm a loyal wife.
04:29Good for you.
04:35Mom, what's wrong?
04:36Vincent, I want to meet your wife. I insist you bring her over for dinner on Sunday.
04:41Not now, Mom. I am busy.
04:43Vincent, this isn't a request. I have to meet my daughter-in-law.
05:00Hello?
05:03She's my wife?
05:09I'm not interested.
05:11Hey, you've reached Samantha. Leave me a message.
05:16There's no way she's my wife.
05:18So many cold calls.
05:20So, how'd the job interview go?
05:26I got the job.
05:28Oh my God! You've dreamt of being an attorney your whole life!
05:32What, has it been like 20 years since you've had a job?
05:35Watch out, world. Here comes Samantha Clark.
05:40I mean, Julie is the way I'd expect her to be.
05:43But I'm not sure she's the right person for the job.
05:45Samantha Clark!
05:47I mean, Julie is away at Exister Academy.
05:50This is my time to focus on my life and my passions.
05:55And your boss is Andrew William?
05:59Yeah, he's successful, but what about him?
06:02I mean, I heard he's fucking hot.
06:05Hey, Liz! He's married, and so am I.
06:09He's an asshole. You don't even know what he looks like.
06:12You should just forget he even exists.
06:16Fuck.
06:22That's him. He wants me to meet his mom.
06:26So, what are you going to do?
06:29Yeah, sure. I mean, who knows, I might need him to return the favor one day.
06:40Um, hello, Mary.
06:41Oh, you must be Samantha.
06:44You look stunning, my dear.
06:47Vincent is so lucky to have you.
06:50Thanks.
06:53I know Vincent can be a workaholic. I hope he doesn't leave you in the cold.
06:58Well, we barely see each other, actually.
07:01Oh, my God. I can't believe it.
07:04I should make it up to you for my son, darling.
07:07It's a gift for you, Samantha.
07:12Oh, Mary, this is way too precious. I can't take this.
07:18You're going to make an old lady cry if you refuse it.
07:21Uh, okay.
07:26All right, let's go.
07:28It's insane, right, that you haven't seen your wife in six months? I mean, since the marriage?
07:33Aren't you excited to see her tonight?
07:36I don't know. I mean, we're basically strangers.
07:38I am glad that she is willing to meet my mom, though.
07:42And the nose came from Alaska.
07:44Oh, I see the wolf.
07:47Oh, that must be Vincent's car.
07:50No, you sit, darling. I'll bring him to you.
07:53Hey.
07:59Where is Vincent, Tim?
08:01Something urgent came up with some very important clients.
08:04Very important meeting, and he's not coming.
08:08Well, he's not coming.
08:10He's not coming?
08:12He's not coming.
08:14He's not coming.
08:16He's not coming.
08:18He's not coming.
08:20He's not coming.
08:22What? He can't leave his wife here.
08:24I know, I know. I'm sorry, but I gotta get back to help him, okay?
08:34I'm sorry. Sometimes Vincent can drown himself in his work.
08:38It's okay.
08:40What an asshole, standing up his wife.
08:46I heard Mr. Williams hired a middle-aged housewife as his paralegal.
08:50Seriously? Why not choose someone young like us? We're way more capable.
08:55I guess she probably slept with him to get the job.
08:58But really, what could a housewife have to offer?
09:03Enough with your catty gossip. We're here to work, not talk behind people's backs. Grow up.
09:09Who do you think you are to tell us how to do our jobs?
09:12I bet you don't even know how to use Excel, boomer.
09:15Mr. Williams hired me based on my skill.
09:17Really? Why don't you just go on home and stop embarrassing yourself? You're worthless here.
09:25It's humiliating.
09:27It's so embarrassing.
09:31It's humiliating.
09:33It's so embarrassing.
09:37We don't hire housewives.
09:40You think you can handle working at a law firm?
09:42You think you can handle working at a law firm?
09:4542. Anyone over 35 is trash to a company.
09:51Yes, you should just get out of here already. It's so embarrassing.
09:55He's literally so old.
09:57I didn't hire you to bully your colleagues.
09:59This is a professional environment which requires you to respect everybody.
10:04I have zero tolerance to unprofessionalism here at my law firm.
10:08I'm sorry, Mr. Williams.
10:09Samantha's the one you should be apologizing to.
10:12She's smart, dedicated. Neither of you are up to her level.
10:17Tina, you're fired.
10:21Please, you can't do this to me.
10:24Get out now.
10:39Thanks for defending me back there, Mr. Williams.
10:42I'm sorry about what happened.
10:45I hope this doesn't change your mind about working here.
10:48I'm happy to have you.
10:51Actually, I've been rejected hundreds of times in past interviews for being perceived as just a housewife.
11:04I'm sorry, Mr. Williams. I can't help it.
11:08It's alright. There's nothing wrong with being a housewife, Samantha.
11:13Housewives are the backbone to any family.
11:17I really think so.
11:20My mother was a stay-at-home mom.
11:23And I would watch her bust her ass every single day.
11:28It wasn't until I was an adult and started running my own law firm
11:33when I realized that what I do and what my father did
11:39was nothing compared to what my mother did.
11:43You're a really heartfelt man, Mr. Williams.
11:47I think it was pretty brave of you to go back to the workforce.
11:52I believe in you.
11:58Vincent, Samantha is a good girl.
12:02You need to apologize to your wife for not showing up last time.
12:06I'm sorry.
12:09I had an important client waiting for me at the office, okay?
12:12Anyways, I'll make it up to her. I'll ask her out.
12:17I gave her a family heirlooms.
12:20Wait, what? The necklace?
12:22Yes. And as her husband, do better.
12:25Get her a gift that's thoughtful, that's substantial.
12:30A gift that means something.
12:33Fine. Okay.
12:37Your Americano, Mr. Williams?
12:47Apologize?
12:50Seems he's not a total asshole.
12:53Is something wrong, Mr. Williams?
12:56What kind of gift would a woman expect from a man?
12:59A gift?
13:01Yeah. It's for my wife, actually.
13:03All I can think about is jewelry and flowers.
13:06What else do women like?
13:08Younger women might like those things,
13:10but what really matters is respect and sincerity.
13:14Good points.
13:16Any suggestions?
13:19I have an idea.
13:23So, that's why we made your wife a cake.
13:26I had no idea baking a cake would impress a woman.
13:30Well, most men think that expensive gifts and fancy jewelry is impressing a woman.
13:37But, baking a cake takes a lot of patience and a lot of attention to detail.
13:44Hmm.
13:46Let's finish decorating.
13:48Piping.
13:49Piping?
13:51I don't know how to pipe.
13:54I'll teach you.
13:56Okay.
13:58Oh.
14:00Sorry.
14:04Oh.
14:09This is really tough for me.
14:12I can't. I don't.
14:14So, when you draw, hold it like this.
14:17Okay.
14:19Okay.
14:38Oh.
14:40Your face has some cream in it.
14:44No, hold on.
14:46Stay still.
14:50Sorry.
14:53Man, it's really on there.
14:56You two are such a sweet couple.
15:00Oh, no.
15:02We're not a couple. This is my boss.
15:05Oh, sorry.
15:07I'm sure you'll need a box for the cake.
15:10Yes, of course. It's for my actual wife.
15:13Mr. Williams must really love his wife.
15:16Excellent job. Great cake.
15:17Maravilloso.
15:25Well, thank you for your time, Samantha.
15:28I'm sure my wife will enjoy it. Hopefully.
15:32Yes, enjoy the date with your wife, Mr. Williams.
15:36I should get going.
15:38See ya.
15:48I guess my wife and I could get to know each other a little better.
15:57How was work?
15:59I'm exhausted.
16:01I spent the entire day baking a cake for my boss's wife.
16:05Your boss sounds really sweet.
16:08I mean, I wish your husband even cared about you.
16:12Mr. Williams is a dream husband.
16:14I doubt I could ever find a guy like that.
16:17Speaking of, my husband asked me on a date tomorrow night. Clover Hill.
16:23Wait. Clover Hill. Tomorrow?
16:27Roy and I are going to be there for our anniversary.
16:29Oh, shut up!
16:31Yes! Wow.
16:33Look, I wanted to ask you. I saw this really beautiful necklace upstairs.
16:37When did you get that?
16:39His mother gave it to me.
16:41In that case, can I borrow it for the anniversary?
16:45Yes, of course.
16:51So how did you two meet?
16:53We met on Tinder.
16:55I still can't believe that you snagged someone 15 years younger than you.
17:00You're such a cougar.
17:02But we really love each other.
17:05I'm loving you.
17:06I'm hanging out with him.
17:08Alright cuties, I'm going to use the restroom.
17:18Why is my wife with another man?
17:23What the fuck is this?
17:25Ms. Clark?
17:27Yeah?
17:29What? Who are you?
17:32Oh, I see. You already forgot about me, haven't you?
17:34Is this you trying to get back at me for dishing you the other week by, what, dating some young punk right in front of me?
17:40Look, I don't know what your problem is, but I can date whoever I want.
17:46Get away from my girlfriend.
17:50This marriage is a fucking joke.
17:53And you're a fucking joke.
18:05He looks like my boss.
18:17He looks like my boss, Mr. Williams.
18:24Sam, oh my god, there is a lunatic here.
18:28It's not safe. You need to go.
18:30What? Have you seen anyone? Is Vincent here?
18:34My husband should have arrived.
18:36No, just a psychopath. I'm sorry. He bailed on you.
18:41Not again, asshole.
18:54He rejected my call? Is this a fucking joke to him?
19:05Ugh.
19:10Best news ever. Out of my life, asshole.
19:15Are you okay?
19:17Yeah. Divorcing my husband.
19:23So, how'd the date with your wife go?
19:28Don't ever mention her again.
19:32Okie dokie.
19:34Sounds good. Are we going home or...
19:39We're going to the bar. I need a drink.
19:45Hey.
19:47Listen, I gotta go home. My wife is waiting on me.
19:50She loves me and she's wondering where I'm at. And probably scared.
19:54Samantha.
19:57It's a great idea. This is not my problem.
19:59Okay. I will call Samantha.
20:04Hello?
20:15Hi, Tim?
20:17Hey, Samantha. Hope you're not busy. I need a favor. Can you come pick up Andrew?
20:22Yeah, we're at the bar near the firm.
20:24Yes, of course. I'll be right there.
20:30Wake up.
20:32Hey, Tim.
20:34Hey. Hey, Samantha. Thank you so much for coming.
20:39Look, he's got a place nearby. So, I'll send you the address. Just take him there. I gotta go.
20:45Yeah, I get it.
20:47You're welcome.
20:50Andrew.
20:52Samantha.
20:54I'm going to take you home, okay?
20:56Okay.
20:58I'm going to stand you up.
21:01Okay.
21:03Up and over.
21:05Then we're going to go here to the left.
21:10Okay. We're going to go here.
21:13Here. Here.
21:26Samantha.
21:30Why do you have the same name as my wife?
21:35You're really drunk, Mr. Williams.
21:41Is his wife home?
21:55Jesus Christ! Vincent! How many drinks did you have? And why did I hear a woman's voice?
22:14His wife's going to think I'm the mistress.
22:22Thanks for letting me stay, Sam.
22:25I hate when I fight with Roy.
22:28He's a good guy. You should give him a second chance.
22:40My so-called husband is signing the divorce papers at Mr. Williams' firm.
22:46You do realize that your company is the biggest in the country. What if your husband consulted with your boss?
22:54What a small world.
22:56That would be so crazy.
23:02It's time to end this outrageous marriage.
23:12Samantha.
23:14Mr. Williams.
23:16You know the legal documents for the case? I need them on my desk today.
23:21Of course.
23:23Alright.
23:27What are you doing here?
23:29I better not tell him about my ridiculous husband.
23:33I forgot something in here.
23:37His room's about to be used for a meeting in a minute now, so...
23:41His room's about to be used for a meeting in a minute now, so...
23:45You better hurry.
23:46Okay.
23:50Come on, Samantha. There's no way he's your husband.
23:58I can't believe this asshole's late to his own divorce.
24:04David, I'm assigning you to my divorce case. I don't want to see my wife.
24:09Yes, Mr. Williams. I'll have her sign these documents as soon as possible.
24:18Hello?
24:19Ms. Clark, I'm a teacher from Exeter Academy. Your daughter got into a fight. We need you down here.
24:24I'm leaving right now.
24:33Where's this woman?
24:40Hi, Ms. Clark. This is David. I'm representing your husband. Where are you?
24:45We have the divorce papers here ready for you to sign.
24:48Hey, something came up. Can we reschedule?
24:50Yeah, no worries. Definitely.
24:52Thanks.
24:53Yeah, just let me know...
24:56Exeter Academy called. They want our legal consultation. Meeting's gonna be in an hour.
25:01Okay. Get the car.
25:05Mr. Williams, I'm sorry.
25:08Mr. Williams, my daughter got into some trouble at school. Need to leave early.
25:12Yeah, sure. Absolutely. Let me know if you need any help.
25:19Mr. Williams, your wife's a no-show.
25:22What?
25:24Get a hold of her. I cannot wait to get rid of her.
25:27Yes, sir.
