00:00:00That way, that's it, this way.
00:00:30Okay, try this new batch, Bella.
00:00:54Smell good, Bella?
00:00:59And you know what's even better?
00:01:00It's really good for you.
00:01:10Hey, Dad.
00:01:11Oh, hey, sweetheart.
00:01:14Hey, Maggie. How are you doing, my sweet buddy girl?
00:01:18Yeah, only a couple more weeks to go.
00:01:21Honey?
00:01:22Yeah?
00:01:23The puppy seemed to like that twinkle ball of yours.
00:01:30Eh, forget that.
00:01:31What I have here is true alchemy.
00:01:34Here, puppy gold.
00:01:36Check this out.
00:01:43Hi.
00:01:53Oh, my God.
00:01:54Come here, you. Come here.
00:01:58Grandma, what you putting them?
00:02:00Oh.
00:02:01I think I finally got the recipe right.
00:02:06Hi.
00:02:07Hi.
00:02:08Hi.
00:02:10Oh, you really ought to try and get these into stores.
00:02:12I've got the plan.
00:02:13Look, they love them.
00:02:15I've cracked the code.
00:02:29I've cracked the code.
00:02:32What's this?
00:02:33A recipe for the healthiest, most delicious dog treats on the market?
00:02:36Mm.
00:02:37Well, they're not on the market yet, but that's where you come in.
00:02:41Oh, Scarlet.
00:02:43You remember our last pitch, right?
00:02:45I remember, yeah.
00:02:46It didn't go super well.
00:02:47Yeah, and the pitch before that?
00:02:49You know what they say, geniuses are often misunderstood.
00:02:51But you've got to trust me on this one.
00:02:54Mm-mm.
00:02:55And all those products that we couldn't sell to the other stores.
00:02:57I mean, who carries them now?
00:03:00Okay.
00:03:01Fair.
00:03:02Look, I do trust you, but your last venture into pet cuisine was a bit of a disaster.
00:03:07Yeah, I'll admit vegetable-infused ice cream wasn't the best choice, but this is the real deal.
00:03:13Bella loves them.
00:03:15The new litter at my dad's went wild over them.
00:03:18I even brought some for Baxter and Fateli.
00:03:25If they love them, will you partner with me on this?
00:03:31Come on, you're so good at branding, and I need a catchy name and a logo.
00:03:36Please.
00:03:40Fine.
00:03:42Fine.
00:03:44Fine.
00:03:45Okay, let's see what we've got here.
00:03:49Oh!
00:03:50They smell good.
00:03:55Do you want to try one?
00:03:57Do you want to try one?
00:03:58Yes, baby.
00:03:59I've got one.
00:04:00I've got one for you.
00:04:02Yes, baby.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06Oh, I haven't forgotten you.
00:04:07I guess you really like those, huh?
00:04:13Are you smiling right now because you love them?
00:04:16Oh, I don't think you do.
00:04:18Oh.
00:04:19How do you convey nutritious and delicious in a new?
00:04:33Hmm.
00:04:38I think you're gonna love this.
00:04:40It looks great, doesn't it?
00:04:41Pup's palette?
00:04:42It's perfect.
00:04:43I think this is gonna work, right?
00:04:45All right.
00:04:47Let's go.
00:04:50I'm sorry.
00:04:51The figures just don't work for me.
00:04:53Best of luck.
00:04:55The name and the packaging are appealing.
00:04:57And the ingredients are top shelf.
00:05:00But Pupchuck is the leaning brand.
00:05:03Truth is, we don't have room in our stores for an untested product with no sales history.
00:05:10I'm sorry.
00:05:11Good luck.
00:05:13No.
00:05:14Not gonna happen.
00:05:16Thanks for coming all this way, but it's gonna be a no.
00:05:25Ugh.
00:05:26What a day.
00:05:27Tell me about it.
00:05:29Sounds nice.
00:05:31I just don't understand why Pupchuck has so much shelf space.
00:05:34I mean, our puppies don't even like it.
00:05:36Yeah.
00:05:37Tilly and Baxter don't like it either.
00:05:38Pupchuck.
00:05:40It's more like Upchuck.
00:05:41Okay.
00:05:42Well, it hasn't been a total loss.
00:05:44You did manage to convince one buyer.
00:05:47You carry my product out of pity.
00:05:49That is not true.
00:05:51You just need to keep at it until something hits.
00:05:55I mean, you know that Thomas Edison quote about light bulbs and failure, right?
00:05:59Yep.
00:06:00I haven't failed.
00:06:01I just found 10,000 ways it didn't work.
00:06:03I should frame that and hang it on my wall.
00:06:06Okay.
00:06:07Well, things may not be working out the way we want them to right now, but Matt still sent me over with this delicious bottle of Pinot and said that we should toast to our efforts so far.
00:06:18Hmm?
00:06:19You have a great husband.
00:06:21Hmm.
00:06:22I do, don't I?
00:06:26A toast to Edison and his 10,000 failures.
00:06:30And the light bulb.
00:06:32And to you and your indomitable creative spirit.
00:06:38Okay.
00:06:39Okay, what I'm thinking is that we just, we need to cast a wider net.
00:06:42We've pitched at just about every store I know of.
00:06:45Actually, there is one that I thought of on the way over here that we didn't get to. It opened last year.
00:06:50It's called the, um, Paws and Wellness Emporium.
00:06:54Hmm.
00:06:55Interesting name.
00:06:57It's a new chain, but they're expanding nationwide.
00:07:00I mean, their shelf space is probably already filled with pop chalk.
00:07:04Well, I don't know.
00:07:06But it's still worth a try.
00:07:09Look, it just takes one yes, and then we're in business.
00:07:14That's true.
00:07:17I'm up for one more pitch if you are.
00:07:20Okay.
00:07:21Hmm?
00:07:23Cheers.
00:07:33What you accomplish in life comes down to a few key moments.
00:07:38And I think this is one of them.
00:07:44Let's do this.
00:07:46They have a dog mascot named Duke.
00:07:52Aw, that is so cute.
00:07:54Oh, here.
00:07:57Excuse me.
00:07:58Can I help you, ladies?
00:07:59Hi, we have a meeting with the general manager, Alex Paulson.
00:08:03Um, right over there.
00:08:06That's it? Right over there?
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:10You okay?
00:08:11You're looking kind of nervous.
00:08:12Oh, please.
00:08:13You'll see.
00:08:14By the end of this meeting, I'll have him eating puppy treats out of the palm of my hand.
00:08:27Oh, no.
00:08:29Oh, no.
00:08:34That did not just happen.
00:08:36Clean up on aisle three?
00:08:38I'll go get the broom.
00:08:39Thanks, Benny.
00:08:40I am so sorry.
00:08:42That's okay.
00:08:43Accidents happen.
00:08:44I'll pay for all of it.
00:08:46That's kind of you.
00:08:49But that's not our policy.
00:08:51Believe me, I've seen a lot worse.
00:08:53Are you sure?
00:08:54Yeah.
00:08:55Yeah, I'm sure.
00:08:56Like I said, accidents happen.
00:09:03Mr. Paulson.
00:09:04Oh, call me Alex.
00:09:05I'm Gina.
00:09:06Gina.
00:09:07This is Scarlett, my business partner.
00:09:08Scarlett.
00:09:09And, uh...
00:09:10Hi.
00:09:11We're with Pup's Palette.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:15Wow.
00:09:16Well, mess aside, it's nice to meet you both.
00:09:19Oh, you've got a birdseed.
00:09:22There you go.
00:09:23All good.
00:09:24Thanks.
00:09:26How about you both come to the office and tell me a little more about your products?
00:09:31Great.
00:09:32Great.
00:09:33Oh.
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:35Oh.
00:09:36Sure.
00:09:37Great.
00:09:38Watch your step.
00:09:40Off to a great start, huh?
00:09:41I'm so sorry I'll pull it together.
00:09:43You know, just try to keep your hands out of his hair during the pitch.
00:09:46Unlike the leading brand that currently overclutters the shelf space at grocery store and pet supply retailers, there is nothing artificial in Pup's Palette.
00:09:56Every ingredient is the highest quality and engineered to promote strong bone and muscle growth, strengthen eyesight, and aid in brain development.
00:10:04Hmm.
00:10:05Hmm.
00:10:06Wow.
00:10:07These have been test marketed?
00:10:09Absolutely.
00:10:10Extensively.
00:10:11And dogs seem to like it.
00:10:12Oh, they love it.
00:10:14Hmm.
00:10:15And where's it currently being carried?
00:10:17Chew that.
00:10:18Not familiar with that.
00:10:19Is that a chain?
00:10:20No, it's a single store.
00:10:22It's great, though.
00:10:23It's the best.
00:10:24Gina owns it.
00:10:25Makes sense?
00:10:28Listen, I think this is an excellent product.
00:10:31I really do.
00:10:32But...
00:10:33But you don't have room in your store for an untested product with no sales history.
00:10:38That's not what I was gonna say.
00:10:40It's just, before I make a decision, I thought maybe I'd try it out on my own puppy.
00:10:46See if he likes it.
00:10:48You...
00:10:49Do you have a dog?
00:10:50I do.
00:10:51Ah.
00:10:52A young golden named Mosey.
00:10:54So if you...
00:10:56Papa's palate is actually what you say it is...
00:10:59I'll consider placing an order.
00:11:01That's amazing.
00:11:02Don't you think, Gina, that's amazing?
00:11:04Oh, I do.
00:11:05I do.
00:11:06But I think we should be going before we say or do anything that might make him change his mind.
00:11:10Um...
00:11:12So much for your time, Alex.
00:11:15Pleasure, Scarlet.
00:11:17We'll lean for the box.
00:11:19I hope Mosey enjoys it.
00:11:25Bye.
00:11:26See ya.
00:11:32Mosey.
00:11:33Like, Mosey along.
00:11:36That's exactly it.
00:11:38I love it.
00:11:40Bye.
00:11:41Bye.
00:11:42Pup Chuck quarterly report, Mr. Fresco.
00:11:54We need to do something to boost this profit margin.
00:11:57Mmm.
00:11:58I was thinking the same thing.
00:11:59Were you?
00:12:00No.
00:12:01It's too thin.
00:12:02Before it's gonna jump all over it, we need to fatten it up.
00:12:04Mmm.
00:12:05What's glucosamine, anyway?
00:12:06Well, look it up.
00:12:08Right.
00:12:09Geez.
00:12:10They teach you anything at Harvard Business School?
00:12:13Umm...
00:12:14Glucosamine is a nutrient that supports joint health.
00:12:18Does it affect taste?
00:12:19Uh...
00:12:20It says here it's tasteless.
00:12:22Then get rid of it.
00:12:23The cost of that stuff's gone through the roof.
00:12:24But, sir...
00:12:25Not up for discussion.
00:12:26Our priority here is what?
00:12:27Fattening the profit margin.
00:12:28Now you are getting it.
00:12:29Uh-uh-uh.
00:12:30I need you to run another report for me.
00:12:32Come here.
00:12:33Write it down.
00:12:34If we were to reduce the amount of food in our bags by, let's say, two or three percent,
00:12:39but we continue to increase pricing at CPI plus one percent, how would that impact profit margin?
00:12:45My guess is it'd make it even fatter.
00:12:47Good.
00:12:48Because I want it as fat as that bear that won Fat Bear Week.
00:12:51You see that thing?
00:12:52No.
00:12:53Well, it was...
00:12:54It was fat.
00:12:55Now go.
00:12:56Go faster.
00:12:59Mosey.
00:13:00Wanna try a new treat?
00:13:01Mosey, come on.
00:13:04Try this out, buddy.
00:13:05What do you think?
00:13:08Whoa.
00:13:12Someone is hungry.
00:13:26You wait right here.
00:13:27I'm not done with your spa treatment.
00:13:39Hello?
00:13:40Scarlett.
00:13:41Hi, it's Alex Paulson, general manager of Paulson Wellness Emporium.
00:13:55Oh, hi.
00:13:56Hi.
00:13:57Hi.
00:13:58Listen, um, I just wanted to tell you that Mosey absolutely loved Pop's palette and, um, we'd
00:14:08like to place an order.
00:14:10go to a hotel.
00:14:11I'm hungry.
00:14:12Scarlett.
00:14:13Are you there?
00:14:14Oh.
00:14:15Yeah.
00:14:16Hi.
00:14:17Um, sure.
00:14:18An order, we can do that.
00:14:19Uh, how much were you thinking?
00:14:20Well, how soon can you deliver 100 boxes?
00:14:21Oh, Scarlett, why did you have to tell him tomorrow?
00:14:29You know, a few extra days would have made this a little more manageable.
00:14:32I just wanted to seem official, you know?
00:14:35Like, 100 boxes.
00:14:38Yeah, no problem.
00:14:39We'll get that to you.
00:14:40You know, we're a real company.
00:14:44Hey, we are a real company now.
00:14:46Yeah, we are.
00:14:49You know, if this works out,
00:14:51we're going to need to staff up, you know,
00:14:53and get some more equipment.
00:14:55This is so exciting.
00:14:58You know what else was exciting?
00:15:06The thing I noticed between you and Alex.
00:15:08What thing?
00:15:10Oh, don't even.
00:15:12The sparks that flew when you two locked eyes
00:15:14were like Fourth of July fireworks.
00:15:17Please.
00:15:19He likes you.
00:15:19Trust me.
00:15:21No, it didn't even seem to matter
00:15:22that you destroyed his display of birdseed.
00:15:25Oh my gosh, that was so embarrassing.
00:15:30Okay, fine.
00:15:31I'll admit, he's sort of good looking.
00:15:34Sort of?
00:15:35Oh, okay, no disrespect to my husband.
00:15:38You know I love Matt to pieces,
00:15:39but hey, Alex is just,
00:15:43he's just different level attractive.
00:15:46Mm-hmm.
00:15:47Yeah, well, he's probably got loads of girlfriends,
00:15:49so he's not the kind of type I would date anyway.
00:15:52We did just meet the guy.
00:15:55But beyond his looks,
00:15:57I mean, he's polite and friendly.
00:16:02And unlike your ex, actually employed.
00:16:05Okay, just because Jeremy didn't have a job
00:16:07didn't make him a bad guy.
00:16:09Look, Scarlett,
00:16:11let's face it,
00:16:13you don't exactly make the best choices
00:16:15when it comes to men.
00:16:18I mean, time and again,
00:16:18you've dismissed what may have been the right one
00:16:20and gone with the wrong one.
00:16:24Am I right or wrong?
00:16:26Yeah, you're right.
00:16:28I thought I could trust him.
00:16:31I thought a lot of things about Jeremy that were wrong.
00:16:34So don't be afraid to take a chance.
00:16:36Hmm?
00:16:41It's often where you find true love.
00:16:50Check it out, Laz.
00:16:52It's flying off the shelf.
00:16:54Hi, Pa.
00:16:55Hi, Pa.
00:16:57Thanks.
00:16:58Just right inside the door would be perfect.
00:17:05He wants to meet for coffee.
00:17:07Why do I feel like I'm getting nervous?
00:17:09Hmm.
00:17:10How about Little Victories 8 a.m.?
00:17:14A date?
00:17:19It's not a date.
00:17:21Is it?
00:17:22It's totally a date.
00:17:24It's a business meeting.
00:17:26Okay, fine.
00:17:27Then it's a date disguised as business meeting.
00:17:31Do you really think so?
00:17:32I mean, we're just going for coffee.
00:17:34Well, my first date with Matt was at a coffee shop.
00:17:36Oh, how romantic.
00:17:37Oh, how romantic.
00:17:39It was, actually.
00:17:42Yeah, but what was romantic had nothing to do with the coffee.
00:17:45Now, it's when I realized how genuinely interested he was to know every little thing about me.
00:17:53And the way that he looked at me, it was like no one else existed.
00:18:02I had never been on a date with someone that was just so focused on me.
00:18:10It's like he was savoring every minute.
00:18:13But he never even checked his phone once.
00:18:18You know, he told me after that he knew right from the beginning that I was the girl of his dreams.
00:18:24You know, really, that sounds special.
00:18:33So remember, Scarlett, when it comes to relationships, never settle for anything but the absolute best.
00:18:40No, it's true.
00:18:53You're looking at the Illinois state record holder for the longest ride ever.
00:18:57You're serious?
00:18:58Peoria to Chicago, 173 miles.
00:19:01No way.
00:19:02You can look it up.
00:19:04I mean, how'd you do that?
00:19:07I don't know.
00:19:09Youthful determination?
00:19:10I was 16.
00:19:12My friends thought I was crazy.
00:19:14Maybe I was crazy.
00:19:15But I raised $17,000 for the animal shelter.
00:19:19I was more proud of that than the ride itself.
00:19:21Amazing.
00:19:25You know, I wouldn't have pegged you for a unicycler, though.
00:19:27Oh, then you do not know me at all.
00:19:30If it is unusual, unique, something most people can't do, I am all over it.
00:19:35Yeah, I guess I could see that.
00:19:37How'd we get on the subject anyway?
00:19:42Hmm.
00:19:43My fault.
00:19:44I'm just asking way too many questions.
00:19:46Yeah, would you cut that out?
00:19:47Sorry, I'm just genuinely interested.
00:19:50In what exactly?
00:19:52In you.
00:19:57Do you need to get that?
00:19:58I can wait.
00:20:07Um, so we should probably talk business, right?
00:20:11I mean, that's why we're here, isn't it?
00:20:13Yeah, let's get into it.
00:20:17I'd like to double what I ordered last time.
00:20:19Double?
00:20:20You're kidding.
00:20:21No, I'm the GM.
00:20:23It's my job to supply what the customers want.
00:20:27I'd like to speak with our regional manager and ask her if she'll hear your pitch.
00:20:32Yeah, I would really appreciate that, Alex.
00:20:34Don't mention it.
00:20:39Cheers.
00:20:39Cheers.
00:20:39Cheers.
00:20:43Thanks again for everything.
00:20:48Of course.
00:20:50It was a lot of fun.
00:20:51Yeah, it was.
00:20:53So, where are you off to?
00:20:55Oh, I go to this rock climbing gym on the weekends.
00:20:58I'm just gonna head over there right now.
00:21:00Wow, rock climbing.
00:21:01So I'm not the only one into unique hobbies.
00:21:04Yeah.
00:21:05Yeah, it's really therapeutic.
00:21:07Keeps my mind off everything.
00:21:09Gets me really present, you know, in the moment.
00:21:11It's also a really good workout.
00:21:13I worked out earlier.
00:21:15I like to get my exercise in early so the rest of the day is dedicated to work.
00:21:19Even on a Saturday?
00:21:20Even on Sunday.
00:21:21It's just us running the business.
00:21:24It's the only way to get ahead.
00:21:27Well, I hope I'm not being too forward, but do you want to come with?
00:21:31I mean, you're totally dressed for it.
00:21:34Take time to celebrate your wins?
00:21:36You know what?
00:21:37Maybe work can wait a couple of hours.
00:21:40Yeah?
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42I think I want to give rock climbing a try.
00:21:45I think we should do it then.
00:21:46Come on, let's go.
00:21:47Okay, this is my happy place.
00:22:01You don't do this on real mountains, do you?
00:22:04Sure, yeah.
00:22:05I go camping as often as I can.
00:22:08Just to kind of restart, you know?
00:22:11Can I grab this for me here?
00:22:12Thank you so much.
00:22:13You know, I go climbing, hiking, fishing.
00:22:18You know, it's just really nice to detach for a while.
00:22:20Just completely immerse yourself in nature.
00:22:23It's good for the soul, you know?
00:22:24I think I would have a panic attack if I was away from work for too long.
00:22:29Well, I believe in a work-life balance.
00:22:32Who knows?
00:22:33You might even find being in nature, well, you know, it might actually feed your creativity.
00:22:40You want a demonstration?
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42Yeah?
00:22:42All right, chalk your hands up like this.
00:22:48And get a good hold, like so.
00:22:51And then away we go.
00:22:56Remember to use your legs.
00:22:59Wow, you're really good.
00:23:01One last move.
00:23:12All right, that's it.
00:23:13Way to go, Alex.
00:23:24That was impressive.
00:23:27Sorry.
00:23:27No worries.
00:23:29But now it's your turn.
00:23:31Okay.
00:23:32Okay.
00:23:32Okay, first, I'd like you to loop this, and you're going to feed it right through the red
00:23:37loop.
00:23:37Both red loops.
00:23:38Yeah, just like that.
00:23:39Okay.
00:23:40I'm going to belay you.
00:23:41What's that mean?
00:23:43Well, if you fall, I got you.
00:23:46Oh, so I'm putting my life in your hands.
00:23:48Well, a rock climb requires you to trust your partner.
00:23:50That sure is asking a lot, and we're just starting to get to know each other.
00:23:54Trust me, Scarlett.
00:23:56I got you.
00:24:04You got me?
00:24:05I got you.
00:24:05All right, Scarlett.
00:24:10Way to go.
00:24:14Right here.
00:24:15Foot hold.
00:24:20I think I like this.
00:24:22You're doing great.
00:24:24Keep going.
00:24:31I did it.
00:24:32You did.
00:24:34Congratulations.
00:24:35That's great.
00:24:36All right, now, I want you to hold the rope and push off the wall with your feet.
00:24:41Uh, you want me to let go of the wall?
00:24:44Don't worry, Scarlett.
00:24:45I got you.
00:24:46You can trust me.
00:24:47He's got me.
00:24:48I can trust him.
00:24:54There you go.
00:25:01Oh!
00:25:02My gosh, that was amazing.
00:25:04That was incredible.
00:25:05You did great.
00:25:07So, do you want to try a different route, or do you have to get back to work?
00:25:11I think I have time for one more.
00:25:13Well, that's what I like to hear.
00:25:15All right, let's go.
00:25:23Yes?
00:25:24Alex Paulson is here to see you.
00:25:26Oh, great.
00:25:27Just give me a minute, and then send him in.
00:25:29Okay.
00:25:32Come on in.
00:25:40Please, have a seat.
00:25:42Oh, okay.
00:25:43So, what brings you up to corporate, aside from wanting to see me?
00:25:51Well, I just want to bring a new product to your attention.
00:25:54What is it?
00:25:55It's a dog treat called Pup's Palette.
00:25:59A new dog treat.
00:26:00Not very exciting.
00:26:02Well, to dog owners, it is.
00:26:04I just put a little shelf space aside in my store, and it's doing really, really well.
00:26:10My own pup loves it.
00:26:11And the women behind the business started it because they actually care about the health and well-being of puppies.
00:26:16Puppies don't spend money, Alex.
00:26:19Well, in my store, the owners are spending it on Pup's Palette.
00:26:23Look, I'm just asking you to hear their pitch.
00:26:27That's all.
00:26:29Sure.
00:26:30Why not?
00:26:31Great.
00:26:33Look, I'm not one to mix business with personal matters, so let's just shelf the business for now.
00:26:38You've been very distant lately.
00:26:39Um, sorry, I thought we agreed that we're going to step back from this relationship for the sake of our friendship and, you know, for working together.
00:26:55Hmm.
00:26:55That was not my takeaway from our last conversation.
00:26:58Okay.
00:26:59I thought we had a good thing going, and I agreed we should, you know, slow things down, but I don't think either one of us, like, was definitive about ending things.
00:27:09Um, well, I, sorry, I, uh, um, sorry.
00:27:14Yes?
00:27:15Your 10 o'clock conference call is ready when you are.
00:27:18All right, I'll be right with them.
00:27:19Listen, I have to jump on this call, but I would love to get together to talk.
00:27:23You know, I think it's pretty clear that I'm not ready to move on, and if you are, that's fine.
00:27:29Um, but I would love to talk it through.
00:27:33Yeah.
00:27:34Sure.
00:27:35Great.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:37I already made us a reservation anyway, so that's perfect.
00:27:41Cool.
00:27:41Thank you, Alex.
00:27:42Mm-hmm.
00:27:59Hey, Dad.
00:28:01Oh, hi, honey.
00:28:03Hi.
00:28:04Hi.
00:28:05Mwah.
00:28:05Hello.
00:28:07Hello.
00:28:08I thought I'd stock you up.
00:28:10Hulk.
00:28:13Hi.
00:28:17Paws doubled their order, so we've cranked production into high gear.
00:28:21And we're looking to lease some new equipment.
00:28:23Oh, honey, that is great news.
00:28:25I think that this is going to really take off.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29But the, uh, the Poggles might need a little work.
00:28:33Hmm.
00:28:33Yeah.
00:28:34Looks like I need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
00:28:36Uh-huh.
00:28:36Because dogs need UV protection, too, you know.
00:28:40How's Maggie doing?
00:28:42Well, you know, she's been a bit more lethargic than usual, but I think she's okay.
00:28:48I'm keeping a close eye on her.
00:28:49Okay.
00:28:50I think I'll go sit with her for a bit later.
00:28:54Hi.
00:28:57Okay.
00:28:57Okay.
00:28:58Bye.
00:28:59Bye.
00:28:59How you doing, sweet girl?
00:29:12Yeah, creating new life must really Tucker you out.
00:29:17Bet the joy you'll bring into this world.
00:29:29Hey, Moze, you wanna go for a run, boy?
00:29:32Yeah, you ready for a run?
00:29:34Oh, so am I.
00:29:35Okay, here we go.
00:29:37Okay, let's go, come on, come on.
00:29:40You can go by the dog park, too.
00:29:42Come on, good boy.
00:29:46Okay, I know you love the park, we're almost there.
00:29:49See, come here, he'll be here all day.
00:29:51He's so long.
00:29:53He's gonna be there all day.
00:29:56Come here often.
00:30:03Alex, hi.
00:30:06Hey, Scarlett.
00:30:07Mind if I sit?
00:30:08Of course.
00:30:09Thanks.
00:30:14Did you bring Mozey?
00:30:15I did.
00:30:16Which one is he?
00:30:17He's right over there.
00:30:19You got him from Picket Fence Puppies, didn't you?
00:30:22I did.
00:30:23How'd you know?
00:30:24I never forget one of our pops.
00:30:26As a matter of fact, I think I was there when he was born.
00:30:29Jack Townsend is my dad.
00:30:31You're kidding me.
00:30:32Nope.
00:30:33He's great.
00:30:34So, puppies is a family business.
00:30:36Yeah, I guess you could say that.
00:30:38I actually designed this dog park.
00:30:41Planning to expand it in the spring, so just brainstorming a few ideas.
00:30:45Wow.
00:30:46You got a lot going on.
00:30:48I also invented 27 new dog toys and accessories.
00:30:51Have patents on six.
00:30:52Thrust patent pending.
00:30:54What are you?
00:30:55Like the Leonardo da Vinci of the pet world, or what?
00:30:57I think that's a bit of a stretch, but I appreciate the compliment.
00:31:00Now, you're certainly prolific.
00:31:02Wow.
00:31:03Oh, looks like Bella met Mozey.
00:31:05Oh.
00:31:06Bella's your pup?
00:31:07Mm-hmm.
00:31:08So, are they from the same litter?
00:31:11Different parents.
00:31:12Couple weeks apart.
00:31:13Hmm.
00:31:14Looks like they're already fond of each other.
00:31:16Yeah, I think they are.
00:31:20You know, it's sort of serendipitous I ran into you here.
00:31:24It is?
00:31:25Yeah.
00:31:26I, uh, I got some good news.
00:31:28I was gonna see if you wanted to meet up tomorrow so I could tell you in person,
00:31:33but might as well tell you now.
00:31:35I managed to get you a pitch meeting with the regional manager, Michelle.
00:31:39Oh, my gosh.
00:31:40Thank you, Alex.
00:31:44You're welcome.
00:31:45Um, even though I don't have an excuse to ask you out, um, do you think you, um, still
00:31:57might want to do something?
00:31:58Depends.
00:31:59What do you have in mind?
00:32:05This is pretty cool.
00:32:10Feels like we went back in time.
00:32:12Yeah.
00:32:14You know, they've been holding screenings here in the springtime every year since my parents
00:32:18were kids.
00:32:19Did you come here growing up?
00:32:20Oh, yeah.
00:32:21My parents are movie buffs.
00:32:23So whenever they showed a classic screening here in the park, that was a Friday night.
00:32:27I love that.
00:32:28What are you doing?
00:32:41You're gonna miss the movie.
00:32:42Got a reply to one of my suppliers.
00:32:44Right this second?
00:32:47Nothing works unless you do.
00:32:49That's Maya Angelou.
00:32:50Um, um, yeah, she was a genius, but I don't think she meant that exactly.
00:32:57Work-life balance.
00:32:59Let's give it a try.
00:33:01Okay.
00:33:02Go on.
00:33:03Yes.
00:33:04Hey, Dad, what's up?
00:33:23Okay, slow down.
00:33:29What's wrong with Maggie?
00:33:32Okay, I'll be right there.
00:33:37This pregnancy has been harder on Maggie this time.
00:33:40Her energy, she's been really tuckered out lately.
00:33:44Hmm.
00:33:45I'm gonna do a sonogram so we can get a closer look.
00:33:53I think I figured out why she's so fatigued.
00:33:56Why?
00:33:57One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:34:07That'll tuck her anyone out.
00:34:10I'll run her blood work back to the lab just to get everything checked out, but I think she'll be fine.
00:34:16Thank you for coming so quickly, Dr. Rich Hall.
00:34:19Whenever you have any concerns, call me, okay?
00:34:22You had us worried, sweet girl.
00:34:24You're gonna be just fine.
00:34:26I like it.
00:34:36You do?
00:34:37I do.
00:34:38It's about time we inject some new life into the pet treat section.
00:34:41So I'll tell you what, I will start it out at one-third of our 72 stores, and if it moves, we will distribute Pup's Palette regionally.
00:34:49Yeah.
00:34:50Yeah, we would love that.
00:34:53And I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if it does well, we could be looking at a nationwide rollout.
00:34:59Oh, thank you, thank you so much.
00:35:03I'm glad Alex brought it to me.
00:35:05He was a real advocate for you, too.
00:35:06We love Alex.
00:35:07Yeah, I do.
00:35:09I mean, we do.
00:35:14I don't actually mean love, love, like in a romantic way.
00:35:17What I meant to say is we love his enthusiasm and just general personality.
00:35:23And we should go.
00:35:25You know what?
00:35:26Because I'm sure Michelle has a very busy afternoon ahead of her.
00:35:30So, thank you again so much.
00:35:34You're not gonna regret this.
00:35:36Come on.
00:35:37Bye.
00:35:38Bye.
00:35:39Bye.
00:35:50Alex.
00:35:51Yeah, I just saw the pitch and I placed an order for 24 stores.
00:35:55Oh, they were excited, alright.
00:35:58Listen, for dinner, what do you think about Maddie?
00:36:02I really appreciate you guys getting here so fast.
00:36:11Hey, Alex.
00:36:12Hey.
00:36:13Oh, big day, huh?
00:36:15Just getting all the new equipment can't tell you how excited I am.
00:36:19Well, I got you something.
00:36:20Oh, what is that?
00:36:21Take a look.
00:36:26Just like the chef said cordon bleu wear.
00:36:31How do I look?
00:36:32You look great.
00:36:33I mean, officially.
00:36:35Do you want to come inside and see how I set up the operation?
00:36:39Oh, yeah.
00:36:40Okay.
00:36:41Let's check it out.
00:36:42Welcome.
00:36:43This has always been my design studio, but it's also perfect for this operation.
00:36:50I really like it.
00:36:51I'm adding fans for ventilation, an industrial scale kitchen over here, and a packaging assembly line over there.
00:36:58Great space.
00:36:59And all of our ingredients for the next month are express shipped.
00:37:03Mm-hmm.
00:37:04And with the equipment I've leased, we'll definitely have the capacity to handle our current orders and a good amount of growth.
00:37:09Well, that's important because I think you're going to keep growing, and I'll be right there beside you.
00:37:20Right against the back wall would be great.
00:37:22Thanks.
00:37:23Amazing how this has taken off. I'm really, really happy for you.
00:37:28I think this calls for celebration.
00:37:31Besides, I owe you for all your help.
00:37:33Work-life balance, right? Celebrate our wins.
00:37:35I'd love to take you for dinner tonight.
00:37:38Oh, I'd love to, Scarlett, but I have prior obligations with Michelle.
00:37:43Michelle, the regional manager?
00:37:44Yeah.
00:37:45Oh, I didn't realize you two had a thing.
00:37:48We're just getting together to just talk things through. That's all.
00:37:51Oh.
00:37:54But maybe we can get together tomorrow night.
00:37:57I think I'll be pretty busy getting this place all sorted out.
00:38:01But maybe I can help?
00:38:03No. You've done enough already. Gina and I have it covered.
00:38:08You sure?
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:10Um, I appreciate all your help, Alex. I really do.
00:38:23It's not as good as the 2018, but it's not bad. What do you think?
00:38:33It's pretty good.
00:38:34Not too oaky?
00:38:36Um, no. I don't think so. I'm no wine connoisseur, though, so...
00:38:41I recently did a vineyard tour in Napa. It was fabulous. Maybe we could do that together sometime.
00:38:51Oh, you know me. When it comes to the outdoors, I prefer to rough it. I guess I haven't matured to wine tasting quite yet.
00:38:58You'll get there.
00:39:00Yeah, we'll see.
00:39:04This is really nice, Alex.
00:39:07Yeah, it is. Really nice.
00:39:10No, I mean this. Us.
00:39:14Oh.
00:39:17Michelle, listen. This is really nice, but I need to be honest with you.
00:39:23Let me guess. You don't want to be tied down right now.
00:39:28Why would you think that? You know that's not me at all.
00:39:32You don't think that I see the way women look at you?
00:39:35Most of them would do anything to date a guy like you. And yet you're still single.
00:39:41Uh...
00:39:48Michelle, what...
00:39:50I think it's best I leave. I thought there might be something between us worth pursuing.
00:39:55I'm sorry I put you in this position, Alex.
00:39:58Uh... Michelle.
00:40:05Hello, Michelle.
00:40:07Oh!
00:40:09To what do I owe the, uh, pleasure of this surprise visit?
00:40:12Well, I caught wind that a certain competitor is trying to move in on our turf.
00:40:15If you're referring to the new brand of dog treats, yes.
00:40:17We're gonna make a little bit of room on the shelf in a third of our stores and just see how it goes.
00:40:20I'll tell you how it's gonna go.
00:40:21It's not gonna go at all because that's our shelf space.
00:40:22You'll still have the vast majority.
00:40:24But I want what we have now. Every square inch.
00:40:28Paul, be reasonable.
00:40:29Michelle, this impacts me personally.
00:40:31and just see how it goes.
00:40:33I'll tell you how it's gonna go.
00:40:35It's not gonna go at all because that's our shell space.
00:40:38You'll still have the vast majority.
00:40:40But I want what we have now, every square inch.
00:40:45Paul, be reasonable.
00:40:48Michelle, this impacts me personally.
00:40:51I mean, this hits my bottom line.
00:40:53Pupchuck is my bread and butter.
00:40:58Do you even know what's in it?
00:41:01Well, I know what's not in it, glucosamine.
00:41:04What?
00:41:06Listen, I'm a numbers guy.
00:41:08It's a food for dogs, it sells well.
00:41:11I really don't care what's in it.
00:41:14You know this business, Paul.
00:41:15There are new products being introduced all the time.
00:41:18You've gotta figure out a way to keep your customers happy
00:41:21or they're gonna take their money elsewhere.
00:41:23Do I need to remind you who owns Pupchuck?
00:41:26National provisions.
00:41:27Yes, one of your largest suppliers.
00:41:30I'm sure you're aware.
00:41:33What are you saying, Paul?
00:41:35Look, Michelle.
00:41:39Between you and me, I've seen how the execs
00:41:41at National Provisions react to threats.
00:41:43They're not afraid to sick their attorneys on the little guy.
00:41:47And then, next thing you know, maybe there's something in those dog treats
00:41:53that the FDA wants to take a closer look at.
00:41:56So, they pull all the products off the shelf until an exhaustive investigation is concluded,
00:42:01and, well, that could take weeks, months, maybe even years.
00:42:07Sounds like you're making a threat yourself, Paul.
00:42:11No.
00:42:12I'm just passing along information to a friend.
00:42:15Well, it's, uh, it's good to see you, as always.
00:42:23Ah ha ha.
00:42:24Ah ha ha.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:25Yeah.
00:42:26hey hi okay sure you have time for this oh yeah this point is all hands on deck we have orders

00:42:55we're going to shred the apples shred the carrots make the dough oven is all ready to go perfect let's
00:43:00do it richelle hi alex we need to talk um look if this is about last night there's more to it that
00:43:11i wanted to explain what i wanted to say was i actually have feelings for someone else
00:43:17oh and i'm not totally sure about how she feels about me but i just want to see how it goes so
00:43:26that's why it's scarlet isn't it yes alex this isn't about us it isn't no i'm here to discuss business
00:43:39i need you to remove pup's palate from the shelf why i mean it's flying off the shelves
00:43:46pup chuck is the best-selling pet food that we carry um it's the only pet food we carry
00:43:53we have a relationship between pup chuck and national provisions that i can't afford to upset
00:43:58so i'm canceling the order no you can't do that no scarlet and gina just leased a bunch of equipment
00:44:07and they're actually fulfilling one of our orders right now as we speak
00:44:11you know there is a clause that stipulates the agreement can be voided within 72 hours
00:44:17michelle that's not fair i'm sorry alex but i need you to remove pup's palate today
00:44:25i'll call scarlet and gina myself and let them know
00:44:28i actually asked him to dinner to celebrate which is so unlikely
00:44:44i'm proud of you yeah but he turned me down what well i thought things were heating up between
00:44:54you two yeah so did i well then why did he turn you down he had another date
00:45:00with michelle
00:45:03the regional manager that we pitched to uh-huh turns out they dated
00:45:08he downplayed it said they just had a couple of things to talk through but am i naive for
00:45:17believing him well why would he tell you that if it wasn't true maybe he's more like jeremy than
00:45:22i thought no i don't think so he's being transparent and that's a good thing most guys
00:45:28would just tell you that they're busy what if he's the type of guy that likes to date
00:45:32around i mean you've seen the way women look at him
00:45:36he just doesn't strike me as that kind of guy
00:45:40i'm not saying that you're guard down i mean you've been hurt before
00:45:45yeah i'm gullible it's a fault
00:45:48no you're trusting you take people at their word until they prove otherwise
00:45:53and that's the way that you want to be
00:45:55no i think that alex is an honest guy

00:48:59yes
00:49:00we just need a creative spark
00:49:03i get all of my best ideas when i'm out running
00:49:05and you desperately need to get those endorphins pumping
00:49:09so come on
00:49:10let's go
00:49:10okay
00:49:11let's go
00:49:12yeah

00:49:34scarlet
00:49:35wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
00:49:37okay i think
00:49:38i think i have an idea
00:49:40okay let's hear it
00:49:41okay
00:49:41we need to pivot
00:49:43pivot
00:49:44yeah it's a basketball term
00:49:46and that was a very overused business buzzword but in this case it might actually work
00:49:50explain
00:49:51okay
00:49:51so pause and wellness emporium
00:49:54they won't put pups pilot in the stores right
00:49:56yeah that's the problem
00:49:58yeah but they never said anything about outside of the stores
00:50:01i don't follow
00:50:03okay um
00:50:05what if
00:50:06we set up a booth in front of the store
00:50:08and
00:50:09we bring in some of your dad's puppies
00:50:10and we conduct
00:50:11a taste test
00:50:12so customers can see first hand
00:50:14what an amazing product we have
00:50:15you know they say the customer is always right
00:50:17right
00:50:18so think about it
00:50:20they see a bunch of customers interested in our product
00:50:22they're gonna feel pressured to put pups pilot back on the shelf
00:50:24this is a great idea
00:50:27you think
00:50:27i do
00:50:28you see
00:50:29i need an idea and i go for a run
00:50:31works every time
00:50:32i already have a vision for the booth
00:50:35and i can take care of the signage so
00:50:38let's do it

00:51:21sort of thing is allowed

00:51:25what's gonna stop us
00:51:26well not me

00:51:38um not yet
00:51:40no

00:58:12you don't
00:58:13i knew better than to trust you instead of relying on myself
00:58:16what
00:58:17i know you're the one who got her booth shut down
00:58:20you told michelle
00:58:23uh yeah i sent her the videos and asked her to send them to the executives
00:58:30so you could wipe your hands clean of any involvement and keep yourself out of trouble

00:58:36and when they showed up you were nowhere to be seen
00:58:38scarlet look i drove to corporate and
00:58:41no i get it
00:58:42you don't want your work life balanced lifestyle disrupted by anyone or anything unconventional

00:58:52you got your rock climbing your camping your nature time your movies but when it comes to work
00:58:58you're not someone that's reliable
00:59:00not someone that's reliable

01:00:01all i'm saying
01:00:04is if you want to get some things done there's just different ways to go about it
01:00:10because my whole life is collapsing
01:00:13if i don't come up with a lot of money soon i'm at risk of losing everything i've worked for
01:00:18do you know what that feels like
01:00:20all right scarlet
01:00:23just hear me out
01:00:24no i can't
01:00:25i just need some space to figure things out on my own

01:05:41I'm so proud of you.
01:05:44Oh.
01:05:45Hey.
01:05:57Heard through the rumor, though.
01:06:00Popchuck is looking to sound long-term exclusive
01:06:02with Positive Homeless Emporium.
01:06:04What'd you hear of that?
01:06:06No, I have my sources, boss.
01:06:08Okay, Duke told me.
01:06:09Duke?
01:06:11Yeah, okay.
01:06:12He was, uh, he was up at corporate,
01:06:14overheard Michelle talking to the Popchuck guy.
01:06:16He's gonna present a contract to Lee Dunbar
01:06:18at the executive meeting this week.
01:06:21Okay, I can't let that happen.
01:06:41Hello.
01:06:42Good evening, Mr. Townsend.
01:06:45My name's Alex.
01:06:46I got Mosey from you.
01:06:48Oh, yeah.
01:06:49You sent me some photos of Mosey a few months back.
01:06:52Yeah, I did.
01:06:53That was kind of you.
01:06:55How's Mosey doing?
01:06:56Is everything okay?
01:06:57Oh, yeah.
01:06:58He's doing great.
01:06:59Uh, but this isn't about Mosey.
01:07:02It's about your daughter.
01:07:03Do you want to come in?
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:09Well, Scarlet told me she'd met a real nice fellow who'd bought one of our puppies.
01:07:19She did.
01:07:20Oh, sure.
01:07:21In fact, she's talked about you quite a lot lately.
01:07:24She seemed to really like you.
01:07:27But that sure changed in a hurry.
01:07:30Yeah.
01:07:49Well, with her business going so well one minute, then crashing the next, you know, poor Scarlet's
01:08:00been through a lot.
01:08:02And that fine for the booth was excessive.
01:08:05I know.
01:08:06You know, and I've already submitted an appeal to the county to get it waived.
01:08:13Listen, Mr. Townsend.
01:08:16I just want you to know I'm here for two reasons.
01:08:20First, I think your daughter's product is incredible.
01:08:24I believe in it so much, I'm willing to go around my boss and take it directly to the
01:08:28CEO.
01:08:29I already tried to talk with him the day that Scarlet's booth was shut down, but he is a
01:08:34hard man to get a hold of.
01:08:36Well, it sounds like National Provisions has a monopoly on shelf space, and your bosses
01:08:42protect that for them.
01:08:43Mm-hmm.
01:08:44How are you going to change anyone's mind?
01:08:46I have an idea.
01:08:48But Scarlet won't talk to me.
01:08:51So I'm asking you to talk to her for me.
01:08:55That's a possibility, I suppose.
01:09:01So what's the other reason you stopped by?
01:09:06Uh, well, that's a little more personal.
01:09:11And I just want to say, since you're helping me out, my intentions are completely sincere.
01:09:22The truth is, I've never met anyone like your daughter, sir.
01:09:30She just has this beautiful glow to her.
01:09:35Her energy is infectious.
01:09:37Whenever I'm not with her, I just, I can't stop thinking about her.
01:09:41I know she's not happy with me right now.
01:09:44But I'm just hoping she just gives me a chance to make it right.
01:09:50I'm thinking about it.
01:10:00Well.
01:10:05I'll give you two some privacy.
01:10:09Scarlet, you put a lot of faith in me, and I should have been a better partner.
01:10:26No, you were right.
01:10:29I shouldn't have gotten on you about work-life balance.
01:10:32Hackety's a little balance in my own life.
01:10:35I'm sorry I got on you about it.
01:10:38I was really emotional and jumping to conclusions.
01:10:42I was totally out of line.
01:10:47Do you think, um, we could maybe take another shot at this?
01:10:51Another shot at what?
01:10:54Scarlet, you got me.
01:10:59I'm all in on this.
01:11:03I'm all in on us.
01:11:05I'm all in on us, too.
01:11:15What was your idea, exactly?
01:11:17We're gonna go crash the executive meeting.
01:11:24No problem.
01:11:33Good morning.
01:11:34Morning.
01:11:35Hi, Duke.
01:11:36We're here to see Lee Dunbar and the executive team.
01:11:38They're in a meeting.
01:11:40Yes, that's why we're here.
01:11:42I don't have a message from Mr. Dunbar about any additional participants.
01:11:48Well, that's because it's confidential.
01:11:51You see, they're thinking about replacing Duke, here's the company mascot.
01:11:57Oh.
01:11:58Yeah.
01:11:59You know, they're considering a ferret named Ralphs.
01:12:02A ferret?
01:12:04I know, right?
01:12:06Some of the executives aren't keen on the ADA either.
01:12:08That's why they called us in.
01:12:09So if you could please us to keep it quiet.
01:12:12The press has been, you know, sniffing around.
01:12:14We don't want this to leak out.
01:12:16As you know, Duke's a really big hit with the kids.
01:12:19Of course.
01:12:21Secret's safe with me.
01:12:23Go on, Aaron.
01:12:36Alex?
01:12:37Keep going.
01:12:39Alex, what are you doing?
01:12:41I need to speak with the executive team.
01:12:43They're in a meeting.
01:12:44In the conference room, right?
01:12:45Yes.
01:12:46Perfect.
01:12:47Alex, you can't go in there.
01:12:51Good morning.
01:12:52We're here to review the latest proposal from Pup Shack.
01:12:56Paul, the room's yours.
01:12:58Well, I think everything in the proposal is kind of self-explanatory.
01:13:03So if you just turn to page three...
01:13:06What's going on?
01:13:07Let's do this.
01:13:08Oh, yeah.
01:13:12Hi.
01:13:13Excuse me.
01:13:14We're in the middle of a meeting here.
01:13:16How can we help you?
01:13:18Actually, Mr. Dunbar, sir, I think we can actually help you.
01:13:23Now, if I could just get your signature...
01:13:25I'm listening.
01:13:29Mr. Dunbar.
01:13:30Sir, my name is Alex Paulson, and I'm the general manager of your 10th Avenue store.
01:13:34And I'm Scarlett Townsend, the founder of Pup's Palate Healthy Treats.
01:13:37Seriously, if we could just put an end to this clown show and get back to this...
01:13:41I'd like to hear what they have to say.
01:13:43Thank you, Mr. Dunbar.
01:13:45This is the nutritional information, which is miles ahead of any other brands.
01:13:52One serving promotes 100% of the 22 most essential vitamins and minerals of puppy needs.
01:13:58And when our store sold Pup's Palate, it outsold Pup Chuck 3 to 1.
01:14:06Well, I'd like to see the numbers to verify that.
01:14:09Then why was it pulled from the shelves?
01:14:12Well, sir, I think that's a question for someone else in this room.
01:14:15No.
01:14:29Oh, my goodness!
01:14:34Are you seeing this?
01:14:42Are you believing this?
01:14:43Is this your video?
01:14:44No.
01:14:45No.
01:14:46I think it was posted by someone who was at your booth.
01:14:49They hashtag Pup's Palate and Paws and Wellness.
01:14:54And best dog treats ever.
01:14:56Oh, my goodness!
01:15:04Here you are.
01:15:06Here you are.
01:15:08Paul, have you seen this?
01:15:09Well, I don't trust social media.
01:15:14I mean, and look, our relationship with Paws and Wellness Emporium is strong.
01:15:20And to re-up our wonderful partnership, I just need you to sign this contract making Pup Chuck your exclusive provider.
01:15:26I mean, the numbers work, Lee.
01:15:27You're not going to find a retail profit margin as healthy as ours with any other product, guaranteed.
01:15:34Well, you make a good point, Paul.
01:15:37But we've got to ask yourselves, what's more important?
01:15:40A healthy profit line?
01:15:44Or a healthy puppy?
01:15:45A healthy puppy.
01:15:48These?
01:15:50They even smell good.
01:15:51Oh!
01:15:52Baby, what are you doing here?
01:15:57Oh!
01:15:59Isn't it?
01:16:00I hate this.
01:16:02I hate this.
01:16:04Oh!
01:16:07Oh!
01:16:08Ibi, what are you doing here?
01:16:11Didn't you smell these from all the way down the hall?
01:16:14Oh!
01:16:15I think the customer's clearly spoken.
01:16:24Hi, Paul.
01:16:31You two think you're pretty clever barging in like that.
01:16:35But this isn't over.
01:16:36Not by a long shot.
01:16:38Nobody muscles pup chuck off the shelf.
01:16:41You'll be hearing from me.
01:16:42Here's where you can reach me.
01:16:45Well, we have to get you back to work.
01:16:47You have a lot of shelf space to fill.
01:16:59I've been working since I was a teenager to create something like this.
01:17:03It's literally a dream come true.
01:17:04Well, you certainly deserve it.
01:17:06Best part? Dogs across the country are healthier than ever.
01:17:10You know what I love most about you?
01:17:11You're the rare business person who genuinely cares about doing what's right above all else.
01:17:18Maybe it'll catch on.
01:17:19I hope so.
01:17:25I'm a delivery. I gotta go.
01:17:28See ya.
01:17:29Bye.
01:17:29See you, Gina.
01:17:31Bye.
01:17:31Bye.
01:17:31Bye.
01:17:31Bye.
01:17:50Wow.
01:17:54Wow.
01:17:54Well, well, well.
01:17:58Paul Frasca, director of sales at Pupchuck.
01:18:02Nice to see you both again.
01:18:04You might remember him as the guy who shut our booth down.
01:18:07Of course.
01:18:09Oh, days gone by, as they say.
01:18:12Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you both on your tremendous success.
01:18:17This is, uh, this is quite an operation you have going.
01:18:20I'm sorry.
01:18:20We have a big shipment to send out.
01:18:21May I ask why you're here?
01:18:22Oh, I suppose I should get right to the point.
01:18:25Uh.
01:18:31This is a business purchase agreement.
01:18:35Excuse me?
01:18:37We'd like to acquire Pup's Palette.
01:18:40Now, before you say anything, why don't you have a look at page seven?
01:18:44You'll see at the top the amount that we're willing to pay to purchase your business.
01:18:48Uh, well, that's, that's a big number.
01:18:53Indeed it is, but we also think fair based on the quality and the popularity of your product.
01:19:00What's the rest of this say?
01:19:02Oh, the rest of it just consists of legal machinations that effectively create an ironclad agreement
01:19:07for a buyer, us, to acquire the ownership from the seller, in this case you, at the agreed
01:19:13upon purchase price, thereby upon signatures and transfers of funds to the seller, the buyer
01:19:18takes full and complete control of your business, including all intellectual property in perpetuity.
01:19:26I'm no legal expert, but does that mean you can change the name, the recipe, even?
01:19:31Well, I mean, it does mean that Pup's Palette is ours to do with whatever we wish.
01:19:35And if we find ways to cut costs, sell more product, boost our profit margin, well, we will.
01:19:42After all, we are in the business of making money.
01:19:46Thank you, Mr. Profit Obsessed Executive.
01:19:52You can just call me Paul.
01:19:54But I think we'll keep our product in the hands of people who prioritize puppies over profit.
01:20:01But you see what we're offering, right?
01:20:03You heard. You heard her.
01:20:05We're not selling.
01:20:24Oh, oh no, Bella, that was not supposed to happen.
01:20:33Uh, what in the world is my beautiful fiancé up to?
01:20:38I'm working on a temporary, all-natural, biodegradable, and washable colored Daffer Puffer.
01:20:43Uh, why?
01:20:45Why not?
01:20:47You know what?
01:20:48You do you.
01:20:51Are you, uh, ready to go?
01:20:53It looks like you could use some time in nature.
01:20:56I think I'm going to need a couple of minutes.
01:20:58What do you think, Bella?
01:20:59Bella.
01:21:01She agrees?
01:21:04Come on, Bella.
01:21:05There you go.
01:21:07Let's go.
01:21:09There you go.
01:21:10Good job, guys.
01:21:12I know.
01:21:24We still have to carry it, so.
01:21:26But look at this and this.
01:21:29We're going to be back on Monday.
01:21:30If you need to reach me, just don't worry.
01:21:32We got it covered.
01:21:34You two enjoy yourselves.
01:21:35Have a good meet, Dan.
01:21:36Thanks.
01:21:37See you on Monday, Duke.
