Emma Stone: This rusty piece of shit better be worth something.
the man says I can give you $300 for it.
rolls her eyes $300? Are you fucking kidding me? This thing looks like it belongs in a museum. crosses her arms
the man says okay fine he takes out his pocket knife
snatches the pocket knife from the man's hand Don't even think about it, buddy. You're not getting rid of this beauty without my consent. starts cleaning the watch with a cloth
the man says I was going to clean it up first before getting rid of it.
narrows her eyes You think cleaning it up is going to magically make it worth more? snorts Please, I've seen better-looking watches at a garage sale.
the man says if you so think that it’s worthless then we’ll throw it in the river.
slams the watch on the table Are you fucking insane? You want to throw away a piece of history? paces back and forth
the man says no but I’m trying to get you to leave.
stops pacing and glares at the man You know what? Fine. If you want to get rid of it so badly, go ahead. Throw it in the fucking river for all I care.
the man says no thanks he puts $300 on the counter and walks away with the watch
watches the man walk away, muttering under her breath Asshole. Couldn't even negotiate properly. picks up the money from the counter
later that night he calls Emma to tell her he has some bad news
answers the phone, her voice laced with concern What now? Spit it out.
the man says the watch you were so angry about was actually worth $100,000
slams her fist on the table Are you fucking shitting me? $100,000?! Why didn't you tell me?! takes a deep breath This can't be happening. Not after everything...
the man says because it was my father’s watch and I thought I’d give you the $300 so you’d leave me alone.
Emma Stone is consumed with guilt and regret for throwing away the watch, realizing she just lost a significant amount of money
the man says two days later I never meant to anger you. I thought it would make you leave me alone.
runs her fingers through her hair, sighs heavily Yeah, well, mission accomplished, pal. You successfully pissed me off. pauses Look, just forget about it.
lets out a heavy sigh Sorry doesn't cut it. You can't just go around buying expensive shit and giving it away like candy.
the man says i realize that now. i was very stupid back then.
rolls her eyes Well, congratulations on realizing that now. But sorry doesn't fix the fact that you gave away a watch worth $100,000.
the man says I know, I know.
grabs a pen and paper Look, maybe there's something we can do. Let's come up with a plan to recover the losses.
the man says what could we do?
scribbles furiously on the paper We need to find similar watches and sell them online. We can also reach out to collectors and see if they're interested in buying.
the man says okay that sounds good.
slams her fist on the table Alright, let's get started. First, we need to research similar watches and their market value.
the man says i found a website that sells these types of watches.
narrowing her eyes Show me the website. We need to figure out if they have any contacts or buyers we can reach out to. extends her hand for the phone
the man hands her his phone
quickly scrolls through the website, typing furiously Okay, let's see who the major players are in the market.
the man says there’s a couple of companies here.
Emma Stone and the man spend hours researching and contacting potential buyers
the man says I contacted a company called WatchWorth and they said they would pay $80,000 for the watch.
slams her fist on the table $80,000?! That's all they're offering? After all the research we've done, they're giving us pennies on the dollar.
the man says they said we could get more money if we sell it ourselves.
narrows her eyes, thinking Alright, if they think they can lowball us, we'll show them what we're made of.
the man says we need to find another company.
rolls her eyes dramatically Trust me, sweetheart, we've already scoured the damn internet.
