00:01:10Hey Mallory
00:01:11Hey Colette
00:01:13Hot chocolate and a scone?
00:01:14Perfect, extra whipped cream on top please
00:01:16You got it
00:01:30Here you go
00:01:31You're the best
00:01:32See you tomorrow
00:01:33Good morning
00:01:34Thanks mom, I'll take over
00:01:40What did I do wrong?
00:01:42Nothing
00:01:43So particular
00:01:44Well it has to be done
00:01:45Just right
00:01:47Yes
00:01:48Now I just need to add the vanilla
00:01:50Colette
00:01:52Colette, why don't you just use the liquid vanilla stuff?
00:01:58That's not how Grandma Thea did it
00:02:00Always fresh
00:02:02So hard to please
00:02:03She appreciated fresh ingredients
00:02:05I don't see you milking a cow for that hot chocolate
00:02:09Don't forget to pack up the whipped cream mom
00:02:11Oh I'm saving that for last
00:02:13Just a few more minutes
00:02:14So are you still thinking about selling the recipe to grocery stores?
00:02:17Not selling the recipe, but the drink
00:02:20Frank Banner and his company think it can go national
00:02:23How's it gonna stay fresh though, being trucked across the country?
00:02:26Dry mix
00:02:28Huh
00:02:29I'm working on it
00:02:30You don't think Grandma Thea would mind, do you?
00:02:32She'd be happy with whatever you decide
00:02:34Test it
00:02:39Just like Grandma's?
00:02:40Just
00:02:41Good
00:02:42Better get going
00:02:43Christmas kickoff starts at 6
00:02:44Yes
00:02:45You're okay here?
00:02:46It's all under control
00:02:47Have fun
00:02:48Thanks
00:02:50Whipped cream?
00:02:51Oh
00:03:04Happy holidays
00:03:05Enjoy your hot chocolate
00:03:06Thank you
00:03:07I can run things here, you know
00:03:10You should go look at the booths, buy something
00:03:13I don't need anything
00:03:14Are you sure?
00:03:16Not even one of those cute ornaments over there?
00:03:19No
00:03:20Do you need one of those?
00:03:22Hmm
00:03:23I need to get a tree first
00:03:25I haven't been able to get one yet this year
00:03:27I can go with you to pick one up
00:03:28How about tomorrow?
00:03:30Can we go during the week instead?
00:03:32Yeah, for sure
00:03:33Okay
00:03:37What can I get for you?
00:03:39Uh, can I just get a coffee please?
00:03:42You bet
00:03:46Colette's Cafe
00:03:48Do you have that place over on Holly Street?
00:03:51That's mine
00:03:53It's great, I'm actually opening next door
00:03:55I'm Marcus, by the way
00:03:57Oh, Colette
00:03:59The one that's been under construction?
00:04:01Yeah, we open Monday
00:04:03That's great, what kind of business?
00:04:05It's a dessert shop
00:04:06Oh, yum
00:04:07It'll be nice to have a new neighbor
00:04:10Thanks
00:04:11I'm so excited to get it all up and running
00:04:14Here's your coffee
00:04:17On the house
00:04:19Are you sure?
00:04:20Of course
00:04:21For my new neighbor
00:04:24Thank you
00:04:29Well, Merry Christmas
00:04:31Merry Christmas
00:04:36Merry Christmas indeed
00:04:41Mom, that's for the customers
00:04:50I'm free labor here
00:04:51You're drinking more than you're selling
00:04:54Alrighty then, why don't you let me run the booth and you skedaddle
00:04:59Mom has been planted
00:05:00I have such a hard work, but I like the easy things
00:05:06A charge
00:05:09A push
00:05:11A touch
00:05:12A touch
00:05:13A touch
00:05:14A touch
00:05:15A touch
00:05:20A touch
00:05:22A clap
00:05:23A click
00:05:24A click
00:05:26One X bat
00:05:27But
00:05:28But
00:05:29Nope, take a break
00:05:30Go look at that ornament or something
00:05:33Fine
00:05:34Before you hand it to the customer, sprinkle a little cocoa on top
00:05:36Honey
00:05:38I watched my mother do this more than you did
00:05:41Now go
00:05:42Okay
00:05:51Here you go
00:05:52Merry Christmas
00:05:53Merry Christmas
00:05:54A gift? Or is that for you?
00:06:11Oh
00:06:13A gift
00:06:14My mom was hinting she wanted one
00:06:17Nice choice
00:06:18Thanks
00:06:20Oh, were you waiting for the hayride?
00:06:21Um
00:06:23No
00:06:25Do you wanna come with me?
00:06:27I don't know
00:06:28The horses scare you?
00:06:30No, I
00:06:31Hay makes me sneeze
00:06:33Even the dry stuff?
00:06:35I don't know actually
00:06:37Do you wanna risk it?
00:06:39Sure, why not?
00:06:40So, how long have you had your cafe?
00:06:52Five years I think
00:06:54Wow, that's impressive
00:06:56How'd you get started?
00:06:58I started selling coffee to people in college
00:07:01I had this little shack
00:07:03It was kinda like that booth back there actually
00:07:06But that was it
00:07:08Quite the entrepreneur
00:07:11After the shack I got a tiny shop
00:07:13It was more like a kiosk with a sink
00:07:16But it grew and grew
00:07:18And here I am
00:07:20How about you?
00:07:23I actually was more of a cook
00:07:26Pastry chef and what not
00:07:28Just rose through the ranks
00:07:30Working at a bunch of bakeries and restaurants
00:07:32But I wanted a place of my own
00:07:34Where I could sell my own creations
00:07:36So you got it
00:07:38It's taken a bit of time
00:07:40A lot of things to arrange
00:07:42And money to save
00:07:43But I'm optimistic
00:07:45Why pastries?
00:07:47I have a killer sweet tooth
00:07:49No, I mean I do
00:07:51But I just grew up appreciating homemade desserts
00:07:55A buddy of mine and I used to joke about going into business together
00:07:58And this was the perfect combination of dessert and business
00:08:04Congratulations
00:08:06Thanks
00:08:07Thank you
00:08:18Yeah, thanks for coming
00:08:20This was fun
00:08:22It was
00:08:24And I look forward to being
00:08:26Neighbors?
00:08:28Exactly
00:08:33Well, I'll see ya
00:08:35See ya
00:08:57At it again?
00:08:59I can't seem to get the dry version of the recipe to work
00:09:15Because it's never as good
00:09:17Not as good yet
00:09:19I'll figure it out
00:09:21Maybe a different creamer
00:09:23Frank Banner's here
00:09:25Oh, send him back
00:09:31Hi there, Colette
00:09:33Hey Frank, I'm just fine tuning the recipe
00:09:35Good, want me to test it?
00:09:37Yeah, not yet
00:09:39So, I have news
00:09:41Three national grocery chains are interested
00:09:43I can line up promotions to go with it
00:09:45Demos, sampling, and from there I think the product will speak for itself
00:09:49It's not ready yet, and I do have to go to the contract still
00:09:52I just want you to realize the interest level we already have
00:09:55Great
00:09:57Okay
00:09:59Alright, there's that for you
00:10:00How many forks?
00:10:01Just one
00:10:02Here you go
00:10:04Hi
00:10:05Hey, we'll have the hot chocolate please
00:10:06And a peanut butter cookie
00:10:08Got it
00:10:09Hey Jonathan, this one is on the house
00:10:11This is Steven
00:10:12Oh, the money guy
00:10:14My friend and business partner
00:10:16And his wife Angie
00:10:17Hi
00:10:18What are you prepared to pay?
00:10:19That's kind of like money going from one hand to the other
00:10:22Well, business looks really good
00:10:24Thanks, there's not exactly a line of customers out the door
00:10:27Yet
00:10:28But we've had a steady stream of people coming and going
00:10:31Good
00:10:33Yeah
00:10:34Here we go
00:10:35Oh, this looks amazing
00:10:37Mmm, I love this stuff
00:10:39Okay, good, well save some for me
00:10:41Marcus, I really want to get one of the Christmas pies
00:10:43Probably the chocolate marshmallow silk
00:10:45Can I pre-order it?
00:10:46Oh yeah, we've actually had a few pie pre-orders today
00:10:49People are planning ahead
00:10:51Okay, good
00:10:52Well add me to that list
00:10:53You got it
00:10:54Thank you
00:10:55We better get going
00:10:56Okay
00:10:57Alright, have fun at work
00:10:58Thanks, you too
00:10:59Keep that money coming in, huh?
00:11:00There you are
00:11:01Thank you
00:11:02Merry Christmas
00:11:04Thank you
00:11:05Alright, there you are
00:11:07Thank you
00:11:08Merry Christmas
00:11:09Thank you
00:11:23Hey, Colette
00:11:25Hi, Marcus
00:11:27Hey, Colette.
00:11:30Hi, Marcus. How's your first day going?
00:11:33Pretty well. What do you think?
00:11:35I like it.
00:11:37What can I get for you?
00:11:38What's good?
00:11:40Oh, well, everything.
00:11:41Of course, let's say that.
00:11:44What's your favorite, then?
00:11:46Um, probably the decadent brownie.
00:11:50Oh, and the hot chocolate.
00:11:53Yeah?
00:11:54It's the best.
00:11:55It's not just because it's the name. I mean it.
00:11:59You don't believe me?
00:12:01Not really.
00:12:02Okay, well, now you have to try it.
00:12:04Sure, why not?
00:12:06Okay. One brownie and one hot chocolate.
00:12:10Jonathan?
00:12:11Thank you. Oh, don't worry about it.
00:12:13No, I couldn't.
00:12:14Let's call it payback for coffee the other night.
00:12:17Come on. I know what it's like when you're first starting out.
00:12:21I insist.
00:12:23Right. Thanks.
00:12:25There you go.
00:12:31There you go.
00:12:32Oh, thank you.
00:12:34So, will I see you later?
00:12:37Yeah. Come by the cafe anytime.
00:12:39All right.
00:12:40Try this.
00:13:00All right.
00:13:01All right.
00:13:01Just fine. Just fine. Just like normal.
00:13:06This isn't mine.
00:13:08Someone copied my recipe and is selling it as their own.
00:13:11Who would do that?
00:13:12That man from the Christmas kickoff.
00:13:14The new shop owner from next door.
00:13:16He calls it the best hot chocolate ever on his menu.
00:13:19There's got to be something different.
00:13:22Nope.
00:13:23It's the same, right?
00:13:24Hmm.
00:13:25Yeah.
00:13:27What if he stole it?
00:13:28Oh, he seemed too nice to do that.
00:13:30We just met him.
00:13:32Before you go making accusations, talk to the man first.
00:13:36Okay.
00:13:42Are you sure it's the same?
00:13:44Yes.
00:13:45Can't you taste the vanilla?
00:13:46It's fresh.
00:13:47And the cayenne pepper.
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:49Things taste different when they're cold.
00:13:51True.
00:13:52We need a fresh cup.
00:13:55What now?
00:13:56Yes.
00:13:57I want to try a second batch.
00:13:58You know, see how it tastes today.
00:13:59And you can't go because...
00:14:01Because I don't want him to see me.
00:14:03Right.
00:14:03Okay.
00:14:04Leave your apron.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06Just casually ask what's in it.
00:14:08See if they do anything that I do.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11Oh, your coat.
00:14:14There you go.
00:14:16Don't tell him you work here.
00:14:17Just be anonymous.
00:14:19Should I wear dark sunglasses and a hat
00:14:20and hide who I am?
00:14:22Do you have a hat?
00:14:23Just go.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:24Play it cool.
00:14:37Hey.
00:14:38Hi.
00:14:39What can I get you?
00:14:40Uh, your hot chocolate.
00:14:42Anything else?
00:14:44No.
00:14:48Oh, thanks.
00:14:49Oh, gosh.
00:14:50Sorry.
00:14:51Excuse me.
00:14:53Oh.
00:14:55Sorry.
00:14:56That's a pretty shirt.
00:15:01Um, best hot chocolate, huh?
00:15:03Yeah.
00:15:05Must be pretty special.
00:15:07I guess.
00:15:10So why is it special?
00:15:12What do you mean?
00:15:13I mean, just, um, what makes it taste so good?
00:15:18Milk and chocolate?
00:15:20So you use chocolate.
00:15:23Kind of a key ingredient.
00:15:25Right.
00:15:26Right.
00:15:27Um, so any other, um, ingredients?
00:15:30That was horrifying.
00:15:34What'd you learn?
00:15:35What's in it?
00:15:36All I got was milk and chocolate.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:39Well, what kind of chocolate?
00:15:42Is it the type that we use?
00:15:43Did he mention fresh vanilla?
00:15:45No.
00:15:46There were other customers coming, and I made a fool of myself enough that even he was uncomfortable.
00:15:52Well, you had to have learned something.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:56I learned that culinary espionage is not for me.
00:15:58Oh.
00:15:59I have an idea.
00:16:04Don't look.
00:16:05What?
00:16:05Turn around.
00:16:07This has been the most bizarre day.
00:16:13Hang on.
00:16:17Now look.
00:16:19Let me guess.
00:16:20You want me to try each one?
00:16:21Yes, I do.
00:16:27Tastes great.
00:16:28And this one?
00:16:34Also great.
00:16:36Which one's mine?
00:16:40I can't tell.
00:16:42See?
00:16:43It's definitely the same.
00:16:50All right.
00:16:51That order will be ready for pickup on the 23rd.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:54Hey, we just got another Christmas pie order.
00:16:56All right.
00:16:58Hey, I'm going to grab lunch real quick.
00:17:07Are you okay here?
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:10All right.
00:17:10Be back in a bit.
00:17:11See you.
00:17:16Let's get another batch of cookies ready.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:18I'll be right back.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:29Hey, Marcus.
00:17:31Excuse me.
00:17:32You doing all right?
00:17:34Is something wrong with the hot chocolate?
00:17:36Yes.
00:17:37Yes.
00:17:37This tastes exactly like my recipe.
00:17:40One again?
00:17:41This has to be the same as mine, which I use for my hot chocolate in my cafe.
00:17:46Well, I'm sure it's not the same.
00:17:48Mine is a proprietary blend.
00:17:50Is it?
00:17:52Did you purposefully seek me out at the Christmas kickoff?
00:17:55What?
00:17:55Why would I?
00:17:56To try and reverse engineer it or something?
00:18:00Hang on.
00:18:01First off, I bought coffee from you that night.
00:18:04Second, there are a ton of ways to make hot chocolate.
00:18:06I doubt it's the same.
00:18:07It's identical.
00:18:09How do you know?
00:18:10Because I tasted it.
00:18:12Just come to my cafe and we'll compare them side by side.
00:18:14Why don't you just tell me what's in your recipe?
00:18:18You'd love that, wouldn't you?
00:18:20Me spilling my secret recipe?
00:18:22Well, then how am I supposed to know?
00:18:25You tell me your recipe.
00:18:28Well, I can't do that either.
00:18:30Seriously, let's think about this.
00:18:31Why would I, or anyone for that matter, try to imitate your hot chocolate recipe?
00:18:36Because it's that good.
00:18:38And I'm your competition.
00:18:40I bet you realize that my cafe is going to make things harder for your little dessert shop.
00:18:45I could have opened my shop in a dozen other locations.
00:18:48I chose that spot because I thought it would compliment the businesses around it.
00:18:52I'm sure.
00:18:54You're going to have to stop serving your hot chocolate.
00:18:56It's encroaching on my business.
00:18:58No way.
00:18:59It's a free marketplace and my customers come for delicious sweets.
00:19:02Besides, how do I know you're not making this all up to steal my customers?
00:19:05That's ridiculous.
00:19:06This whole thing is ridiculous.
00:19:08I'll give you that.
00:19:09Look, I promise I'm not trying to steal your hot chocolate recipe or your customers.
00:19:16Hey, Mallory.
00:19:17Oh, hey.
00:19:19Is that?
00:19:21It's just dessert.
00:19:23And?
00:19:24Hot chocolate?
00:19:26See?
00:19:29It's not my fault if the customer likes my recipe better than yours.
00:19:33There.
00:19:51There.
00:19:56Oh, my God.
00:19:57Home of the original heavenly hot chocolate
00:20:06Don't be fooled by copycats
00:20:09Of all the things
00:20:13I'll see what?
00:20:17Colette is under the delusion
00:20:19That I'm trying to steal her hot chocolate recipe
00:20:21Or copy it somehow
00:20:24But you've been making that hot chocolate for years
00:20:26I mean, even back in college
00:20:28Just a big piece, yeah
00:20:30Don't tell Angie
00:20:31Well, that's what kept you going during those all-nighters
00:20:35When you had all those papers
00:20:36The one bright spot for procrastination
00:20:39So why does she think it's the same?
00:20:43She swears it tastes identical
00:20:45It's hot chocolate
00:20:46I mean, no offense, but how many variations are there?
00:20:50That's what I said
00:20:51Well, have you tried her version?
00:20:54No
00:20:55And I'm not sure I want to
00:20:58She was really great when we first met
00:21:00But now, I think it's better I just keep my distance
00:21:02And not feed her paranoia
00:21:04You know, maybe we should have opened up the shop
00:21:07At that other location, across town
00:21:08A little too late for that
00:21:10You know, it's funny
00:21:12You move somewhere new
00:21:12And you're worried about your neighbors
00:21:14But with business?
00:21:15I didn't realize those neighbors could be worse
00:21:17Do you think she'll pursue it?
00:21:18Make things difficult for the shop?
00:21:21I hope not
00:21:21Food businesses are hard enough as it is, you know?
00:21:24Remember all the statistics about how many fail?
00:21:26Don't remind me
00:21:27You know what?
00:21:30We'll be fine
00:21:31She just has to wake up and realize that a little competition is not the end of the world
00:21:35The end of the world has come?
00:21:41Nobody told me
00:21:42My hot chocolate sales are down
00:21:44Since when?
00:21:46Since that copycat Marcus opened up his shop
00:21:49But he's only been open for a week
00:21:52Sales are down 20% from this time last year
00:21:54This time last year there was a cold front
00:21:58It hasn't been that cold yet
00:21:59Well, they're down 15% from just last week before he opened
00:22:03Your cafe's success does not rest on only your hot chocolate
00:22:08I wouldn't panic yet
00:22:10You know, I want to do the full tree this year
00:22:18I did the tall skinny thing last year and ended up looking emaciated
00:22:22I thought it was nice
00:22:23Not with my decorations
00:22:25How tall do you want it?
00:22:28Less than 6 feet
00:22:29I don't want to have to climb a ladder to decorate it
00:22:32I like this one
00:22:35Oh, that one's way too tall
00:22:39You need a tree, how about you?
00:22:43I have my artificial one
00:22:44Fake, call it what it is
00:22:46Grandma Thea always said it was sensible
00:22:48Christmas isn't about reason and sensible
00:22:52It's about love and celebrating
00:22:55Splurge a little
00:22:57I'm fine
00:22:59I like my tree just the way it is
00:23:01It's still boxed, isn't it?
00:23:04I'll get to it soon
00:23:05My other sales are down
00:23:10All since he opened
00:23:12Are you sure?
00:23:15Take a look
00:23:16Barely
00:23:20It's probably a fluke
00:23:22Grandma Thea's recipe will bring them back
00:23:24They may want to try the new place
00:23:26But they'll be back
00:23:27You're probably right
00:23:29But what if they don't come back to my cafe?
00:23:36Are you worried about your sales?
00:23:39Or that his recipe is so close to Grandma Thea's?
00:23:45Everything will be alright
00:23:46If nothing else
00:23:49Grandma Thea will haunt those wayward customers
00:23:52Until they do come back
00:23:53Stubborn as she was
00:23:56Hey Colette
00:24:11Frank
00:24:12Everything okay?
00:24:14Yep
00:24:14Yes
00:24:15You're...
00:24:17Yeah, I wanted to try it myself
00:24:19See what all the fuss is about
00:24:20Oh
00:24:21It does taste just like yours
00:24:26I know
00:24:27I don't know how
00:24:29Well, the last thing the grocery chains are going to want
00:24:32Are two products selling the same thing
00:24:33Well, I don't think he's selling his in stores
00:24:35And besides, we're the first, right?
00:24:39Right
00:24:39Unless he comes around claiming you stole his recipe
00:24:43Well, I didn't
00:24:44He...
00:24:45I'm just saying
00:24:46The last thing you or I want
00:24:48Is a lawsuit or something
00:24:49To make this fail before we even get started
00:24:51Well, you don't have to worry
00:24:53It's my recipe
00:24:55All right
00:24:57Although I need that contract back
00:24:59And how's that dry recipe coming?
00:25:02Good
00:25:02I still need to work on it
00:25:05I've been...
00:25:07Distracted
00:25:08Well, as is
00:25:09We're already too late to get it to the stores for Christmas
00:25:11But it'd be a shame to miss out on the rest of winter
00:25:13I'm all about deadlines
00:25:16How about we aim to have everything ready
00:25:18Contract from recipe by next week?
00:25:21How about two weeks?
00:25:22With the Christmas rush, it's been busy
00:25:24It picks up
00:25:30Two weeks, then
00:25:32Oh, and one more thing
00:25:35You ought to figure out what your competition's up to
00:25:37You know, just in case
00:25:39See you later, then
00:25:40Oh, here
00:26:05Thanks
00:26:06Have a good day
00:26:16Do you have your phone on you?
00:26:20Yes
00:26:21Oh, no
00:26:23Nikki warned me
00:26:24It'll be easy
00:26:25That's what she said you told her
00:26:27You don't even have to say anything other than
00:26:29One hot chocolate to go
00:26:30Thank you
00:26:35Hi there
00:26:46What can I get for you?
00:26:47Uh, one hot chocolate to go
00:26:49You got it
00:26:50Your order's ready, Colette
00:27:15Uh, I...
00:27:16Tell her I'll give her a whole gallon of my hot chocolate if she comes and gets it herself
00:27:21Okay
00:27:22I mean, that won't be necessary
00:27:24Thanks
00:27:26Your order's ready, Colette
00:27:37Your order's ready, Colette
00:27:38He's so arrogant
00:27:40Well, at least he didn't throw me out
00:27:42You can't even see what he's doing in there
00:27:44Oh, he was serving it from the batch like we do
00:27:47You can't expect him to make every cup from scratch
00:27:49Yeah
00:27:50Well, I should get back to getting everything ready for the Christmas kickoff booth
00:27:55All right
00:27:56Wait, I thought Nikki was running it this weekend
00:27:59We flipped a coin
00:28:01I lost
00:28:02Here
00:28:03Oh, I don't want it
00:28:05Wow, this really does taste
00:28:09I know
00:28:10Oh, I don't want it
00:28:11Oh, I don't want it
00:28:12Oh, I don't want it
00:28:12Oh, I don't want it
00:28:13Oh, I don't want it
00:28:14Oh, I don't want it
00:28:14Oh, I don't want it
00:28:15Oh, I don't want it
00:28:15Oh, I don't want it
00:28:16Oh, I don't want it
00:28:16Oh, I don't want it
00:28:17Oh, I don't want it
00:28:17Oh, I don't want it
00:28:18Oh, I don't want it
00:28:18Oh, I don't want it
00:28:19Oh, I don't want it
00:28:20Oh, I don't want it
00:28:21Oh, I don't want it
00:28:22Oh, I don't want it
00:28:23Oh, I don't want it
00:28:24Oh, I don't want it
00:28:25Oh, I don't want it
00:28:26Oh, I don't want it
00:28:27Oh, I don't want it
00:28:58Oh, hi.
00:29:14Hi.
00:29:16How was your day?
00:29:18Fine. Sales were great.
00:29:21That's great.
00:29:23Uh, look, I know you feel threatened by my shop, and...
00:29:26I don't.
00:29:27Well, uneasy then.
00:29:29Not uneasy.
00:29:32Unhappy?
00:29:35Anyways, look, there's more to both our shops than just hot chocolate, and...
00:29:40wanted you to see that, so...
00:29:42Here.
00:29:44Thanks.
00:29:46Yeah, there's lots of things to try in case you didn't like that brownie the other day.
00:29:49Uh, I recommend milk with those, but you'll be fine with whatever.
00:29:56Okay, then.
00:29:58Okay.
00:30:00Uh, goodnight.
00:30:02Night.
00:30:03Okay.
00:30:20Okay.
00:30:21Two scoops, two watery, and six ounces.
00:30:49What am I missing?
00:30:51Maybe a different type of cocoa powder?
00:31:06Sure, you look nice, but I bet you're rotten on the inside.
00:31:15Oh, wow.
00:31:16How dare you?
00:31:26Here we go.
00:31:44Oh.
00:31:58Perfect.
00:32:02OK.
00:32:03Oh.
00:32:33I think this might be your last year.
00:32:47Maybe.
00:32:48Oh!
00:32:50I'm calling it.
00:32:56What are you looking forward to buying?
00:32:58With one expat, let's complete it now.
00:33:01Put a bat in poker or in a casino.
00:33:04Put a bat in cyber sport or play a slot.
00:33:06And you can buy anything.
00:33:08Go to the site of 1xBat
00:33:10and give a bonus to your first game.
00:33:29Oh, excuse me.
00:33:30Do you work here?
00:33:31What?
00:33:32Oh, sorry.
00:33:33No, I...
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:35You.
00:33:36Yeah.
00:33:38I was just trying to get a better look at this tree.
00:33:41That's really nice.
00:33:44Were you...
00:33:45Did you want this one?
00:33:46Uh, no.
00:33:47I was actually looking at this one.
00:33:51Nice.
00:33:53Yep.
00:33:55I'm getting this for my house.
00:33:57Yeah, mine...
00:33:58Mine too.
00:34:02Oh, excuse me.
00:34:03Can I get some help?
00:34:05Yeah, sure thing.
00:34:06Which tree did the two of you decide on?
00:34:09This one.
00:34:11Two trees?
00:34:12No, this one's just for me.
00:34:13We're not...
00:34:14Not together.
00:34:16I'll get those ready.
00:34:18Thanks.
00:34:20All right, here is your change, and I will get those trees right out.
00:34:28Thanks.
00:34:36Did you like the pastries?
00:34:37What?
00:34:39Yeah.
00:34:41Hey, we're good.
00:34:43Good.
00:34:44I'm glad.
00:34:48Thank you for...
00:34:54How's the hot chocolate?
00:34:56You just had to bring that up.
00:34:58I'm just asking, why are you still avoiding it?
00:35:00I'm not.
00:35:01And now denial?
00:35:03I'm not the one who stole a secret hot chocolate recipe.
00:35:05No, you're just the one who sent spies in to record my method.
00:35:09I was trying to prove that you were using the same method that I use, which means you stole it.
00:35:14I have not. We've been through this.
00:35:16It is my recipe and my livelihood.
00:35:18You're a coffee shop.
00:35:20A cafe.
00:35:22So you're telling me that more people buy your hot chocolate than your coffee?
00:35:26Something must be wrong with your coffee, then.
00:35:28I have plans for my hot chocolate, and your copycatting is jeopardizing that.
00:35:32What plans?
00:35:35I'm not telling you.
00:35:37You know what?
00:35:38The secretiveness between us hasn't been working so well, so in the spirit of Christmas, why don't you tell me something?
00:35:45Fine.
00:35:46I plan to sell my amazing hot chocolate recipe nationwide.
00:35:53How?
00:35:54I'm working with a company that will take it to grocery stores.
00:35:57Ah, so you think me and my supposed identical recipe are after your grocery store plans, too?
00:36:03Yes. And it is identical.
00:36:06I still don't believe you on that.
00:36:07Well, then maybe you should try my hot chocolate.
00:36:10You know, I should.
00:36:11It's the least I could do to pay you back for all the ones you bought from me.
00:36:15You are so...
00:36:17Ugh.
00:36:18Ugh.
00:36:30Why are you selling it?
00:36:32What?
00:36:33Your hot chocolate recipe. Why sell it?
00:36:35Well, I'm not. It's a do-it-yourself-at-home version.
00:36:39Huh. Alright.
00:36:42What?
00:36:43I just never sell mine.
00:36:45So?
00:36:46Just saying.
00:36:48I'm taking my business to the next level.
00:36:51Alright. That's your decision.
00:36:56Look, how about this?
00:36:58I promise I won't get in the way of your grand plans.
00:37:01And what about my shop?
00:37:03What about it?
00:37:04You're selling your hot chocolate same as me.
00:37:07I'm pretty sure the people that come to my shop are looking for dessert first.
00:37:10Maybe we should just take some time and see how things go.
00:37:14Let the customers come and go without bad-mouthing each other.
00:37:17That seems reasonable.
00:37:20And no more spying.
00:37:22Fine.
00:37:23Good.
00:37:27So, Truce?
00:37:32Truce.
00:37:34Okay. Here are your two trees.
00:37:40Come in.
00:37:45Hello?
00:37:46Hey, what's up?
00:37:47Hey.
00:37:50You need a hand?
00:37:52Uh, yeah.
00:37:57You got it.
00:37:59So, how are things at the shop today?
00:38:01Pretty good.
00:38:02I passed a hundred pre-orders.
00:38:04Isn't that nuts?
00:38:05I wasn't expecting that many this quick.
00:38:07I know.
00:38:08Are you gonna handle making all those pies at the same time?
00:38:10Yeah, but you're gonna help me, right?
00:38:12Mmm.
00:38:14We'll see how desperate I get.
00:38:15At least your garage doesn't have that holiday rush.
00:38:18That's true.
00:38:20And how's, uh, you know, it's my hot chocolate lady?
00:38:24Better.
00:38:25I actually ran into her tonight.
00:38:27I think we made some progress.
00:38:30Progress?
00:38:31Is she growing on you?
00:38:33No.
00:38:34That it matters?
00:38:35We have a truce.
00:38:36That's all.
00:38:37Okay.
00:38:38Well, good.
00:38:39Now, we can focus on making sweet pastries really take off.
00:38:45Is that the contract from Frank?
00:38:47Yes.
00:38:48Everything is expected?
00:38:50Yeah, it is.
00:38:53Do you think I'm doing the right thing if I go forward with it?
00:38:56Depends on what you want.
00:38:58Have you thought maybe putting the mix out there will hurt the store?
00:39:02Do you think it will?
00:39:04It could.
00:39:06But Colette's Cafe is home of the original, so maybe it becomes a must-have if people are nearby.
00:39:12Marcus said he would never sell his.
00:39:15Wait, you're talking to him now?
00:39:17Kind of.
00:39:19And?
00:39:21And maybe he's not so bad.
00:39:23And maybe I should have given him the benefit of the doubt.
00:39:27But that's not the point.
00:39:29It's an improvement.
00:39:32So why does it matter what he says?
00:39:35Do you think he's right?
00:39:37I don't know his reasons.
00:39:41You have to do what you think is best.
00:39:43And right.
00:39:45And hopefully they're the same thing.
00:39:50So how's the dry mix coming?
00:39:51Not well.
00:39:53Oh.
00:39:55Well, maybe put off signing until you have something worthy to sell.
00:39:59Good point.
00:40:01So what movie are you watching?
00:40:04You pick.
00:40:21You pick.
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:41Hello.
00:40:46What?
00:40:51Sir, you can't go in there.
00:40:55I'm the owner.
00:40:56Look, I'm sorry, but just stay out here until you make sure everything's safe, all right?
00:41:21Is there a fire?
00:41:40I think so.
00:41:42Can you check on the cafe?
00:41:44Yeah.
00:41:51Marcus?
00:41:56Hey.
00:41:59Marcus, I'm so sorry.
00:42:04Do they have any idea what caused this?
00:42:08They're not sure yet, but they think it came from the kitchen.
00:42:13I swear I didn't leave anything on.
00:42:17I'm sure you're right.
00:42:18Is your shop okay? Sorry, I didn't even think about that.
00:42:22Don't worry about that.
00:42:23So you're fine?
00:42:25Nikki's checking.
00:42:27I wanted to come see about you.
00:42:33Well, at least it looks like you won't have any competition for a while.
00:42:42No, no, no. Everything was in place. I saw to it myself.
00:42:45You're kidding. And after that?
00:42:53Look, see what you can do. Just please ask again.
00:42:58Right.
00:42:59Bye.
00:43:02You look as horrible as I feel.
00:43:05Fire chief came by.
00:43:06And?
00:43:08Well, the fire didn't spread beyond our walls.
00:43:10He thinks the structure is sound, but the entire inside needs to be redone.
00:43:13I made an appointment with the contractor to go over the repairs.
00:43:17Any ideas on the cause?
00:43:18Might have been an oven.
00:43:20I don't bake anything in the evenings, though. There's no way I left anything on.
00:43:26What was that about?
00:43:28The insurance company says our policy wasn't active.
00:43:32What?
00:43:32I know.
00:43:33But we paid those premiums.
00:43:35During the time of the construction, on the inside, yes, but I guess somehow it didn't get switched over when we were functional.
00:43:42I missed it, too.
00:43:45So to fix everything, we have to...
00:43:46Out of our pockets.
00:43:49Angie and I already have everything put into the garage and in sweet pastries.
00:43:53I know.
00:43:53I wish I had better news.
00:43:58Today isn't the day for that.
00:44:03Heartbreaking, isn't it?
00:44:05We just had this all done.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08Tell me about it.
00:44:11Well, it's fixable.
00:44:13That's the good news.
00:44:15Okay, what's the bad?
00:44:17Cost and schedule.
00:44:19How soon are you wanting to have all the repairs done?
00:44:22Tomorrow?
00:44:24Well, winter is busier than you'd think.
00:44:27Everybody wants to remodel.
00:44:29I'm booked for the next two months.
00:44:31Is there any chance you know someone who can help get things moving that has an open schedule?
00:44:36Not that I'd hire.
00:44:38You could do a lot of the work yourself, though.
00:44:41I can't?
00:44:43That'd save on cost, too.
00:44:44You'd have to do everything just right, of course, but I could fit into my schedule checking in on the work, overseeing here and there.
00:44:51Yeah, that would help a lot.
00:44:54Is there any chance you could send the bid over for everything?
00:44:57With you doing the work or without?
00:45:00Both, if you don't mind.
00:45:02You got it.
00:45:02I'll send it over tonight.
00:45:04All right.
00:45:04Hey, thanks.
00:45:05How's that business next to yours with the fire?
00:45:11Oh, not great.
00:45:13Marcus is, he's crushed.
00:45:17What should I do?
00:45:18What do you mean?
00:45:19It's not your shop.
00:45:20I know, but I've been so mean to him.
00:45:23I feel guilty.
00:45:24Well, it's not like you did any damage, did you?
00:45:29Of course not.
00:45:31He said something to me about not worrying about competition anymore.
00:45:35Oh, now that's uncalled for.
00:45:37He wasn't cool about it.
00:45:40He just...
00:45:41I don't want to succeed because of someone else's tragedy.
00:45:45But even if you could do something, what would really help?
00:45:50How big a day is it?
00:45:52I've been saved for 10 people now.
00:45:54And now I'm going to go there, where you get money quickly and you get a big deal.
00:45:59One X Batpur.
00:46:00You've won so much money, but you can get a lot of people from some people.
00:46:04One X Bat.
00:46:05Sattabaji's company.
00:46:06Hungry?
00:46:13Hey.
00:46:14What are you doing here?
00:46:16I thought you might need a break.
00:46:18I just barely started.
00:46:20Well, here.
00:46:22Eat up.
00:46:24Thanks.
00:46:28So, how long until everything is repaired?
00:46:31I'm trying to figure that out.
00:46:33The main thing is it's going to be really pricey to fix.
00:46:37Really?
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38We had a snafu with the insurance, so we have to fix everything.
00:46:42Or...
00:46:43Or what?
00:46:44Or maybe this wasn't meant to be.
00:46:47You'd close down?
00:46:49You can't do that.
00:46:50It's not like I want to.
00:46:52But would you really be that disappointed?
00:46:55I suppose I deserve that.
00:47:02You know what might help keep you in business?
00:47:05Besides fixing the shop?
00:47:07You should sell your pastries at the Christmas kickoff.
00:47:09Didn't that already happen?
00:47:11Yeah, but it continues every weekend until Christmas.
00:47:14You could set up a booth, sell your desserts.
00:47:17Except my kitchen isn't working.
00:47:20Could you bake from home?
00:47:23Actually, that could work.
00:47:25You could also get a lot more pie pre-orders for Christmas.
00:47:28See?
00:47:28All right.
00:47:31Thanks.
00:47:34And for the record, yes.
00:47:38I would be disappointed if you shut down.
00:47:40You would?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46We wouldn't get to see who's hot chocolate sells better.
00:47:55Whoa.
00:47:57This does taste like mine.
00:47:58You mean, your recipe tastes like mine.
00:48:01I hope your recipe wasn't damaged with all this.
00:48:07Nope.
00:48:08It's in my safe.
00:48:09You keep your recipes in a safe?
00:48:12Wow.
00:48:13Mine are at home.
00:48:14And in my memory, of course.
00:48:16Well, I promised I'd keep mine under lock and key.
00:48:20Promised who?
00:48:22The woman who gave me the recipe.
00:48:23So, it's not yours.
00:48:29No, it is completely Thea's.
00:48:34Did you just say Thea?
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37Thea Redmond?
00:48:39How do you know her name?
00:48:42She's my grandmother.
00:48:47I first met Thea when I was eight years old.
00:48:50She was our next-door neighbor.
00:48:51My mom died when I was younger, and my dad worked a lot to provide for me.
00:48:57But Thea noticed, and she would keep me out of trouble when I got back from school.
00:49:04Had to get my homework done first, of course.
00:49:07She was very firm about that.
00:49:11But then she would teach me how to cook.
00:49:13And she always had her hot chocolate ready.
00:49:15It didn't even matter if it was warm outside.
00:49:17I just loved it.
00:49:19We lived so far away from her when I was that age.
00:49:23I never knew.
00:49:25Well, I was just the neighborhood boy.
00:49:27You had to have been more than that.
00:49:30I don't know, but...
00:49:33I didn't mind that my dad was so busy, because Thea was always there.
00:49:38And I wonder if he knew how much she really did for us.
00:49:42So she taught you the recipe?
00:49:43No, not at first.
00:49:46I could tell it was special to her.
00:49:48She just always had it ready when I'd get home from school.
00:49:53But when I turned about 11, my dad got a new job, and we had to move.
00:50:00And it was right before Christmas time.
00:50:03I was pretty upset about it.
00:50:06But Thea asked me what I wanted for Christmas, since we wouldn't see each other anymore.
00:50:11And what did you say?
00:50:13I asked her to teach me how to make the hot chocolate.
00:50:17So that I could remember her and make it for myself, wherever we moved to.
00:50:20I had no idea.
00:50:24She always guarded that recipe so closely.
00:50:26I just assumed I was the only one who knew it.
00:50:30Yeah, sorry.
00:50:32It probably seems pretty out of place that I have it, too.
00:50:36No.
00:50:38It's fine.
00:50:41I can't believe Grandma Thea gave the recipe to someone else.
00:50:45And this was years before she gave it to me.
00:50:48I gave up trying to understand her.
00:50:50I certainly never pegged her for taking in some stranger's boy.
00:50:54She never told you about Marcus?
00:50:56No.
00:50:58She did whatever crossed her mind.
00:51:00But it's so unlike her.
00:51:02It's way too...
00:51:04What?
00:51:05Charitable.
00:51:08She was so strict when she taught me how to make the hot chocolate.
00:51:11Only then?
00:51:12I was just about to leave for college.
00:51:14We made it over and over again with her critiquing how I did it.
00:51:17The order of the ingredients, getting the temperatures just right.
00:51:21Not scalding the milk or melted chocolate.
00:51:23That's just how she was.
00:51:26Made me cherish it, though.
00:51:28First, out of fear of getting it wrong.
00:51:31But now...
00:51:33It's her legacy.
00:51:35I thought I was the only one to carry it on.
00:51:37The contractor sent us the bid with and without us doing whatever labor possible.
00:51:44Yeah, we're gonna need to do some of that work ourselves, for sure.
00:51:48You know, both money and time-wise, we can't afford to wait for them to get to us.
00:51:52The more time we're closed, the less money we make.
00:51:55It's bad enough being closed during the holidays.
00:51:57It's the worst timing ever.
00:51:59I know how to do a little bit of the sheetrock stuff.
00:52:02Sheetrock stuff?
00:52:03A little bit.
00:52:04Plus, I can clean up the debris and damage things.
00:52:06That can't be too hard.
00:52:08I'll have to keep the garage open, but...
00:52:10I could close down early to help out if it's a slow day.
00:52:12Okay, that'd be good.
00:52:14I don't know how we're gonna pay for the rest, though.
00:52:16I mean, I can scrape together some money for the supplies for the work that we would do,
00:52:20but we still have to pay the contractors and his subs for the work we can't do ourselves.
00:52:24Yeah, the first time around was expensive enough.
00:52:28Well, let's get going.
00:52:30Do what we can to get the first step started.
00:52:32I have a little to cover that.
00:52:33Okay, but what about the rest?
00:52:35We're gonna need a loan.
00:52:36I mean, we already have one for opening up the store.
00:52:38Do you really think we can get another one?
00:52:40It's worth a shot.
00:52:41How else are we gonna get sweet pastries on its feet again?
00:52:44Okay.
00:52:46I'll work on that loan.
00:52:47We'll get started fixing the shop.
00:52:51Here you go.
00:52:52Merry Christmas.
00:52:57Is he okay over there?
00:52:59Maybe I should go check.
00:53:02Well, I turned in the application for the second loan.
00:53:09Good.
00:53:10Fingers crossed.
00:53:11How long will that take?
00:53:12Normally, two weeks, I said.
00:53:16Everything okay in here?
00:53:18As well as it can be.
00:53:19Colette, this is Stephen and Angie.
00:53:21Hi.
00:53:22The paranoid hot chocolate lady?
00:53:24Stephen.
00:53:25Guilty.
00:53:27It's really nice to meet you.
00:53:29You too.
00:53:30Oh!
00:53:32Do they know what they're doing?
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:35You know, just a little demolition work.
00:53:37I could tell.
00:53:39We can all hear it next door.
00:53:41Sorry.
00:53:42I just wanted to make sure you were, you know, safe.
00:53:46Making sure Stephen's not hitting my hand with a hammer.
00:53:48Yeah, like that.
00:53:49Wow.
00:53:53There is so much to do.
00:53:55Yeah.
00:53:56Tell me about it.
00:53:59Do you need help?
00:54:00Yes.
00:54:01No, we can handle it.
00:54:03I'm sure you're plenty busy yourself.
00:54:05I'll be right back.
00:54:09Well, she seems nice.
00:54:11There you go.
00:54:16Have a good day.
00:54:18How are you doing?
00:54:18You got it handled?
00:54:19Uh, yeah.
00:54:20Great.
00:54:21Can you call Nikki and have her prep everything for the Christmas kickoff?
00:54:25I can pick it all up at five.
00:54:27Okay.
00:54:28What are you doing in the meantime?
00:54:30Helping.
00:54:30Hey.
00:54:32Hey.
00:54:33Hey.
00:54:33Hey.
00:54:34Hey.
00:54:35Hey.
00:54:35Hey.
00:54:35Hey.
00:54:35Hey.
00:54:35Hey.
00:54:36Hey.
00:54:36Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:37Hey.
00:54:41Hey.
00:54:45Hey.
00:54:46Do you know that?
00:54:46I'm sorry.
00:54:46Thank you, sir.
00:55:05No Sanford's at this moment.
00:55:10Yes?
00:55:10Yes.
00:55:11I can't find the ones you say
00:55:14And you make my holiday
00:55:16I've never felt this way
00:55:20And maybe that should be my mom's peace
00:55:23A little better
00:55:25Cause you're my ever and ever
00:55:28Try to find the ones you say
00:55:31And you make my holiday
00:55:34Do you want to expect that? Yeah, I got it.
00:55:36No, it looks better!
00:55:38I hope so.
00:55:41Oh, yeah, we have someone coming to fix that
00:55:46Along with the other electrical
00:55:48Oh
00:55:50It's almost time for the Christmas kickoff to start for the weekend
00:55:53Did you get a booth?
00:55:54Yeah, I did. I was up late last night making everything
00:55:57I have to go get my things for it. I'll meet you there
00:56:00Sure
00:56:06See you guys. Bye. Thanks so much for helping
00:56:09See ya
00:56:11You know, you should probably get ready too
00:56:15We'll finish up here
00:56:16You sure?
00:56:17Yeah
00:56:21Thanks
00:56:22Have fun
00:56:23Here
00:56:34Merry Christmas
00:56:36There you go
00:56:37Merry Christmas
00:56:41Well, I want you to notice that I only have my desserts and pie pre-orders, no hot chocolate
00:56:47You didn't have to leave out the hot chocolate
00:56:49And you didn't have to help me today
00:56:50And you didn't have to help me today
00:56:52I wanted to
00:56:53It's Christmas
00:56:55And Grandma Thea would have wanted me to as well
00:56:59Hi, uh, sweet pastries, right?
00:57:01Yes
00:57:02I tried to go by your store, but it was all closed up
00:57:04Yeah, we had a fire
00:57:06We, uh, we had a fire
00:57:07Oh, how horrible
00:57:10Um, well, I ordered some pies for Christmas
00:57:13Will I still be able to get those?
00:57:15Oh, yeah, we'll still have everything ready as planned
00:57:18Good
00:57:20Then where do I go to pick them up?
00:57:22Uh...
00:57:23You can pick them up right next door to Sweet Pastries at Colette's Cafe
00:57:27Okay, uh, any time on December 23rd?
00:57:30Uh, yep, we'll have them ready
00:57:32Good
00:57:33Thank you
00:57:35Merry Christmas
00:57:36Merry Christmas
00:57:40Thank you
00:57:42Just makes sense
00:57:43No big deal
00:57:44Are you sure?
00:57:45I might take over your shop for that day
00:57:47It's just one day
00:57:49Two hot chocolates, please?
00:57:52Sure
00:57:53It'll be just a minute
00:57:56So...
00:57:58How is the sale of your recipe for hot chocolate coming?
00:58:01Oh, that
00:58:03You change your mind?
00:58:04No
00:58:07I'm having trouble coming up with a traditional dry version of the recipe
00:58:11Dry version?
00:58:12Traditional?
00:58:13There's nothing traditional about Theo's recipe
00:58:16I know
00:58:17It's hard to replicate in an easy form
00:58:20Here you go
00:58:21Thank you
00:58:22Merry Christmas
00:58:25Well, then that's your problem
00:58:26You're going about it all wrong
00:58:28What do you mean?
00:58:30Theo's recipe is gourmet
00:58:31The stuff we make in our shops, it's not ordinary
00:58:33You can't just make it the same way they do in grocery stores
00:58:37Well, then how?
00:58:40What about a liquid version?
00:58:42People are used to...
00:58:43No, but that's kind of the point
00:58:45It's special, so make it special
00:58:49A gourmet drink in a refrigerated section that you can reheat and enjoy
00:58:54Hmm...
00:58:56Limited shelf life
00:58:58It would be more difficult to transport, or we'd have to do it faster
00:59:02But it would taste a lot better
00:59:05It's better than anything I've thought of
00:59:07Great idea
00:59:08Order 98
00:59:15Excuse me
00:59:16Oh, Mr. Banner
00:59:17Is Colette in?
00:59:18No, she's been out today
00:59:19Hmm...
00:59:20Tell her I'm waiting to hear from her
00:59:21Deadline's almost up
00:59:22I'll pass that on
00:59:23Thanks
00:59:24Hi
00:59:25Hi
00:59:26So then you're going to sell this just like you make it at the cafe?
00:59:30Yes
00:59:31Not sure how to make it keep longer, though
00:59:34Preservatives
00:59:36Grandma wouldn't like that
00:59:37No, but you're going to have to compromise somewhere
00:59:40At least this will taste better than that dry stuff you've been mixing up
00:59:44It better?
00:59:46What are you doing?
00:59:48Testing which method of reheating works best
00:59:51Everyone just uses the microwave
00:59:52Well that may be, but I want to compare so I know what to put on the packaging
00:59:57Good for you, being all gourmet
00:59:59That's the idea
01:00:05Try this
01:00:10Good?
01:00:12This one too
01:00:19Both good
01:00:20Any difference?
01:00:22The temperature
01:00:24Maybe I should tell people what temperature to heat it to
01:00:26No one's going to get out their thermometer and check the temperature
01:00:30People just want a quick cup of hot chocolate
01:00:32Quick and yummy
01:00:34That too
01:00:36So how's that, um, how's that boy Grandma helped out?
01:00:40Marcus?
01:00:42He's...
01:00:44He's been better
01:00:46What's such a shame about his store?
01:00:48Yeah
01:00:49Is he a good sort of person?
01:00:52I think so, why?
01:00:53Just curious
01:00:55With my mother's influence you can't quite be sure how he turned out
01:00:59She wasn't always difficult
01:01:01No, but those are the memories that stick out
01:01:04Maybe you should try to remember the positive
01:01:07There are probably good memories if you just let yourself think of them
01:01:10Good morning
01:01:12Good morning
01:01:14Hey, Nikki
01:01:15How was your evening?
01:01:17Fine, got to pick my own presents for Christmas
01:01:21Is that for your parents to give you?
01:01:23Yep, they say I'm too picky so that way they don't have to worry if I get anything I don't like
01:01:24Mm-hmm
01:01:26Oh, hey, uh, Frank Banner came by again yesterday
01:01:28Oh yeah, what'd he say?
01:01:29I'm just checking up on you
01:01:31I think I have a solution to the store-bought version
01:01:33Good
01:01:34You know, it's been busy here
01:01:35I know, I'm sorry
01:01:37I'm just saying maybe, maybe you've taken on too much
01:01:39I guess they wanted us to fill these ones out too
01:01:40I guess they wanted us to fill these ones out too
01:01:42I am just checking to check it out
01:01:44I think I have a solution to the store-bought version
01:01:46Good
01:01:49You know, it's been busy here
01:01:51I know, I'm sorry
01:01:52I'm just saying maybe, maybe you've taken on too much
01:01:56You sign right here
01:01:59Okay
01:02:01And then there
01:02:03I thought we already did everything
01:02:06I guess they wanted us to fill these ones out too
01:02:07these ones out, too. This should be the last one. Okay. Yeah. All right, I'll get this over to him.
01:02:19All right, let's hope it goes through. Yeah, see ya. See ya. Oh, hey, Colette. Hi, Stephen.
01:02:25Bye, Stephen. How's it coming? Well, the electrical is underway, and then we get to move
01:02:33on to the sheetrock. Stephen's kind of nervous, though. A lot depends on if we can get a second
01:02:38loan. Good luck. Thanks. I wonder what Thea would say about all this. Which part? About my situation.
01:02:50I remember these one-line pearls of wisdom she used to say, like to keep me from going overboard
01:02:56with the candy when I was little. A small bite won't bite you back with a tummy ache. Yeah.
01:03:01Or I should also say, if you clean a little each day, it'll keep the... Tears at bay.
01:03:10I wonder how much my mom fought her on cleaning a room. Enough that Thea would come up with a
01:03:14saying for it. Yeah. So, what would she say to me now? She'd say, the solution will appear
01:03:26if your determination doesn't disappear. Did she ever say that? No, I just made it up.
01:03:33But it does sound like her. It... It does. Maybe you're right, though.
01:03:40What are you thinking? That I might not have it all figured out, but I can take it a step at a time.
01:03:46Like letting the electric work move forward while I continue taking pie pre-orders for Christmas.
01:03:54Maybe after that hurdle, I'll be ready for the next challenge.
01:03:58Exactly.
01:04:00Oh.
01:04:02Everything okay?
01:04:04Yeah, it's just my mom.
01:04:06She's reminding me about dinner.
01:04:08You should come.
01:04:12Oh.
01:04:13No, I... I couldn't.
01:04:15I'm sure she'd love to meet you.
01:04:16With you knowing my grandma and all.
01:04:18Yeah?
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22Sure.
01:04:24Great.
01:04:29Mom?
01:04:31Hello.
01:04:32Hey.
01:04:33You remember Marcus?
01:04:34Nice to see you again. These are for you.
01:04:38I've heard a lot about you lately.
01:04:40Mom.
01:04:40Really?
01:04:42Come on in.
01:04:49There's more if you like.
01:04:50Oh, no, thank you. I'm getting full.
01:04:53This was really great, Mom. Thank you.
01:04:55This was one of mother's recipes. It's one I craved growing up.
01:04:59I can tell fine cooking runs in the family.
01:05:02Well, I heard you make amazing desserts.
01:05:04Oh, you did?
01:05:05You did.
01:05:06Although I haven't tasted them myself, as Colette ate the entire box.
01:05:11Did not.
01:05:13Not all at once, anyway.
01:05:15Well, I'll bring you a whole box of choices.
01:05:18Just for you.
01:05:19Oh, thank you.
01:05:20You have a lot to bake for those Christmas orders.
01:05:27Are you really going to do them all at your house?
01:05:29Gonna try.
01:05:30And then you're going to bring them to my cafe for people to pick up?
01:05:33Yeah, but that's not too hard.
01:05:35Why don't you just make them at the cafe?
01:05:38Oh, I couldn't. It's a lot of pies.
01:05:41The kitchen can handle it.
01:05:42Are you serious?
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:45That would be amazing.
01:05:47I'll get Nikki and Simon to help, too.
01:05:49Okay. Thank you.
01:05:51Hey, Mom. The oven? Can I turn it off?
01:06:03Yes, please. And take the pan out.
01:06:07Now, Marcus.
01:06:09I've been wanting to ask you.
01:06:11Was my mother a stickler with you two?
01:06:13Doing things her way or not at all?
01:06:16Uh, yes.
01:06:18And you survived. Good for you.
01:06:20She was never harsh, though.
01:06:22Everything she taught me was to help me be better.
01:06:25I can hear her saying that. She's brainwashed you.
01:06:28Maybe. But I also needed someone to show me that I could be better.
01:06:33I wonder what made her decide to look after you.
01:06:36I wonder that myself every now and then.
01:06:39Who knows? Maybe she just saw a bored boy who needed some attention.
01:06:43Maybe. I told Colette it was so unlike her.
01:06:48Didn't stop her, though.
01:06:50Maybe she just saw that she could make a difference.
01:06:54Perhaps.
01:06:56I think there was a side to her I didn't see.
01:07:02Your mother was a great woman.
01:07:04Maybe she was.
01:07:10More than I give her credit for.
01:07:14Well, the brownies should be cool by now.
01:07:16Was it something I said?
01:07:26I think so.
01:07:29It's a good thing, though.
01:07:30Well, when did Thea pass away?
01:07:32It was six years ago.
01:07:36Christmas time, actually.
01:07:38I wish I had reached out to her.
01:07:40There was a part of me that wondered what are the odds I'd ever see her again, but...
01:07:46Yeah.
01:07:47I kind of think she'd be laughing at us now, though.
01:07:50Me too.
01:07:52Although, to be honest, I think she'd somehow favor you over me.
01:07:56No.
01:07:57I don't think she would.
01:07:59You know, she probably regrets giving me the recipe.
01:08:01No.
01:08:02Regret and Grandma Thea don't go together.
01:08:05That's something I admired about her.
01:08:08Whatever she chose to do, she owned it.
01:08:10No regrets.
01:08:10I think she knows that everything turned out okay.
01:08:16I hope so.
01:08:18She'd be happy.
01:08:20The recipe's in good hands.
01:08:28Yes, it is.
01:08:31Well, it's no fine pastry, but I've got some dessert here to finish us off.
01:08:36It looks great, Mom.
01:08:42This is going to make a lot of pies, Marcus.
01:08:45We can do it.
01:08:46The three of us and Colette and her two employees, that is a lot of extra hands.
01:08:50As compared to you doing it by yourself all night, yeah.
01:08:56You know, it was awfully nice of Colette to offer to help.
01:09:01I can hear your tone.
01:09:03Good, because I wasn't hiding it.
01:09:04You know what?
01:09:07It is nice of her to offer, and I appreciate it.
01:09:09I'm just thinking, you know, she wouldn't have offered to help if, you know.
01:09:14What?
01:09:15If she didn't like you.
01:09:17Oh, this is college all over again.
01:09:20With that girl down the hall you used to make fun of me for?
01:09:22Yeah, kind of.
01:09:24Only difference is you actually have a shot with Colette.
01:09:27Oh my gosh, be nice to him.
01:09:30Come on.
01:09:30What?
01:09:31I'm just saying.
01:09:32Yeah, but every time you say something, you jinx it for me.
01:09:35So that means you are interested.
01:09:42What did I just say?
01:09:45Measuring cups, whisks.
01:09:48Hi.
01:09:48Hi.
01:09:49You're sure that this place can handle all this stuff?
01:09:52No.
01:09:53Yes, we have plenty of room.
01:09:55Colette.
01:09:56Uh, Frank Banner is here asking for you again.
01:09:59Okay.
01:09:59Nikki, can you?
01:10:00Yeah, I'll get everything organized.
01:10:06Hi, Frank.
01:10:07Colette, I need to get this process going.
01:10:10Are we moving forward or what?
01:10:11Yes, sorry.
01:10:13I have been making progress.
01:10:15I've decided to do a liquid version of the hot chocolate.
01:10:19It's going to be more pricey and it changes the placement in the grocery stores.
01:10:23But I can work on it.
01:10:25How's that contract coming?
01:10:26Tomorrow okay?
01:10:28I'll hold you too then.
01:10:29Great.
01:10:30Thanks.
01:10:30See ya.
01:10:48Anyone need an apron?
01:11:02I'm just warning everybody now, cooking is Marcus's thing, not mine.
01:11:06Well, you can follow instructions.
01:11:08Well, use small words.
01:11:12Hey, I just want to say thank you guys, all of you, for being willing to help.
01:11:16Yeah, put us to work.
01:11:17All right, the fridge is full of the ingredients that we'll need to use,
01:11:21plus whatever is out here on the counters.
01:11:24Let me know if you have questions, but I will circle around to make sure things are looking right.
01:11:30Is sampling privated?
01:11:34Okay, so like this?
01:11:35Yeah, that's good.
01:11:36Cool.
01:11:37Now mix it on low until the dough has a firm consistency.
01:11:39Sounds good.
01:11:47How's it going?
01:11:52Good.
01:11:58Marcus seems like a good guy.
01:11:59He is.
01:12:02So what's going on between you?
01:12:05Nothing.
01:12:05Why?
01:12:06Why?
01:12:07I thought you said I was taking on too much as it was.
01:12:10Yeah, but my concern was Frank Banner, not Marcus.
01:12:13You don't like the deal with Frank, do you?
01:12:15It's not my call.
01:12:17But if it was?
01:12:21Why have you been stalling to give him the contract?
01:12:23Like I said, not my decision.
01:12:38So what do you think of Marcus?
01:12:40Marcus?
01:12:43I can tell you two have a bond.
01:12:45That's just because of my grandma.
01:12:47It's common ground between us.
01:12:49Nothing more.
01:12:53Maybe a little more.
01:13:02Order 230.
01:13:04Chocolate and marshmallow silk and the pumpkin one.
01:13:08Pumpkin vanilla custard.
01:13:10We just pulled an all-nighter making pies.
01:13:12Want to give me a break?
01:13:14There you go.
01:13:15Merry Christmas.
01:13:16Hi, what's your order number?
01:13:17183.
01:13:18Here you go.
01:13:20Merry Christmas.
01:13:23Apple cream.
01:13:26Hi, how can I help you?
01:13:27Can I get a hot chocolate, please?
01:13:29Yes.
01:13:31Oh, hang on.
01:13:33Uh, Marcus, take over.
01:13:34Hello?
01:13:36Merry Christmas.
01:13:36Yeah.
01:13:41But I filled out the...
01:13:44I understand, is there no way to reconsider or what else can we do?
01:13:47Okay.
01:13:52Merry Christmas.
01:13:59One sec.
01:14:02So, what was that about?
01:14:04The bank turned down the second loan.
01:14:06Hi, what's, uh, your order number?
01:14:1483.
01:14:22Frank, coming by today?
01:14:24Oh, um, probably.
01:14:26I'm just looking this over one more time.
01:14:39No.
01:14:41Frank's not coming.
01:14:52Frank!
01:14:53Hey, it's Colette.
01:14:54Look, I've been giving it a lot of thought.
01:15:00I don't think it's gonna work out.
01:15:05Good turnout, huh?
01:15:06Yeah.
01:15:08Um, thanks again for letting me use your cafe and all of your help.
01:15:12Sure.
01:15:16Is everything all right?
01:15:17The bank denied the second loan.
01:15:23And Stephen is freaking out.
01:15:24Oh, you're kidding.
01:15:26I wish.
01:15:30Um, I need to go check on the electrician next door.
01:15:34I'll clean up.
01:15:35You go.
01:15:35You sure?
01:15:40Thanks.
01:15:43If someone comes for these...
01:15:44I'll make sure they get them.
01:15:45Thanks.
01:15:54Thanks.
01:15:55Hopefully we can figure this out and you can come finish the rest someday.
01:15:59Good luck.
01:16:00Yeah.
01:16:03Excuse me.
01:16:04I'm looking for Marcus.
01:16:05Yeah, that's me.
01:16:05Huh.
01:16:06I understand you have a pretty popular hot chocolate recipe.
01:16:10I'd be interested in taking it nationwide.
01:16:12What do you think?
01:16:19Here's my card.
01:16:19Please, call me.
01:16:20Let's do this.
01:16:22Okay.
01:16:22Yeah, I'll definitely think about it.
01:16:27What if he's selling the recipe to Frank?
01:16:29Well, you don't know that's what Frank was talking to him about.
01:16:32Come on, Colette.
01:16:33What else could it be?
01:16:34I don't know.
01:16:36If he is selling it, you're just...
01:16:37You're gonna let him?
01:16:39It's not...
01:16:39It's not for me to decide for him.
01:16:42It's not right.
01:16:44Grandma Thea gave the recipe to me and to him.
01:16:48He has just as much of a right to sell it as I do.
01:16:50But you didn't sell it.
01:16:52I know.
01:16:53But if he...
01:16:54If this recipe could really save his shop,
01:16:57could I live with myself if I tried to stop it?
01:16:59You came with a crazy boss from him,
01:17:00Tell them to me?
01:17:00Because if this recipe could be possible,
01:17:01You are rare,
01:17:01they don't do it.
01:17:02There's, there, there.
01:17:03They're not wrong and the bread.
01:17:05игрate them with our balls.
01:17:06You
01:17:08They just cannot use them.
01:17:08But when you're trying to make the video ofuit,
01:17:09it doesn't matter that,
01:17:10it doesn't matter that,
01:17:10that we see them in the wayne.
01:17:11It doesn't matter that,
01:17:12they don't do it.
01:17:12You now as a wayne tends no matter where otherwise.
01:17:18How's it going?
01:17:18Ah,
01:17:18so what else?
01:17:19He's trying to do it.
01:17:21You don't want to have such a cake with a cake.
01:17:23Whitney
01:17:24So what else is?
01:17:25That's a cake.
01:17:25What else?
01:17:26You knowledge is like.
01:17:29Hey, Colette.
01:17:31Valerie, good to see you.
01:17:32You too.
01:17:33So, do you know what's going to happen next door?
01:17:36I don't.
01:17:37I hope it comes back because I loved their pies, but your hot chocolate was better.
01:17:42Thanks.
01:17:43Merry Christmas.
01:17:44You too.
01:17:47Hi.
01:17:48Hi.
01:17:50How's Steven?
01:17:52He's coping.
01:17:54And you?
01:17:55I'm figuring some things out.
01:17:58Like what?
01:17:59Trying to recoup whatever we can, but it's going to be fine.
01:18:05So, Frank Banner reached out to you then?
01:18:08Yeah, he did.
01:18:13I was surprised you decided not to sell.
01:18:16Wasn't the right decision for me.
01:18:20Me neither.
01:18:23Really?
01:18:24What, now you're surprised?
01:18:25I guess not.
01:18:26I just...
01:18:27You could have.
01:18:29You have just as much claim to it as I do.
01:18:32No, not really.
01:18:33The only one that did was Thea.
01:18:36Did you feel that way all along?
01:18:38Yeah.
01:18:40Why didn't you say anything to me?
01:18:42I mean, she's your grandma, not mine.
01:18:45Which reminds me...
01:18:47What?
01:18:48Merry Christmas.
01:18:52You didn't have to.
01:18:58Grandma.
01:19:00It's a nice way to remember her, isn't it?
01:19:03Yeah, it is.
01:19:07Merry Christmas, Colette.
01:19:12Merry Christmas.
01:19:15Merry Christmas.
01:19:15Do you have any of those pies left?
01:19:26Oh, that was just a one-time thing.
01:19:28Sorry.
01:19:29Oh, really?
01:19:29Yeah.
01:19:30My family really liked the last one.
01:19:33Um, well, I guess what do you have?
01:19:35I got some sandwiches there.
01:19:37I got some donuts left.
01:19:39I'll have a turkey cranberry sandwich then.
01:19:41A turkey cranberry?
01:19:42And a Caesar salad.
01:19:43Caesar salad.
01:19:45The whole situation's out of our hands.
01:19:48We just can't do it.
01:19:49Your lease isn't even close to being up.
01:19:52We agreed to a year to start.
01:19:54I know.
01:19:54Believe me.
01:19:55I wish the circumstances were different.
01:19:57There's just so much damage.
01:19:59What, do you expect me to eat that cost?
01:20:01Well, let's look it over and find a solution.
01:20:03We cleared out all the damage and started rewiring.
01:20:06Who knows?
01:20:06Maybe your next tenant will want to start fresh.
01:20:08Yeah.
01:20:09Hey, Stephen!
01:20:11Stephen, wait up!
01:20:13There's a lot to fix, but the point is, it is fixable.
01:20:17How would you do it?
01:20:18This is the easiest solution.
01:20:21You can do that?
01:20:22Sure, why not?
01:20:23What about the cafe?
01:20:24It won't affect the shop.
01:20:26You sure?
01:20:27Even if it does, it'll be worth it in the long run.
01:20:32I like it.
01:20:33Yeah?
01:20:35Grandma would, too.
01:20:39So, what do you think?
01:20:40Can we do it?
01:20:42Yeah.
01:20:42I don't see why not.
01:20:43I ran it by the contractor.
01:20:45It's reinforced.
01:20:46It'll hold.
01:20:47Great.
01:20:48You sure you want to do this?
01:20:51I do.
01:20:52As long as it's the right move for you guys.
01:20:55It is.
01:20:57When do you want to start?
01:21:05You do realize it's Christmas Eve?
01:21:08Yes.
01:21:09And the ham is warm and ready?
01:21:11I'll be right there.
01:21:12I'll be right there.
01:21:12Merry Christmas, Theo.
01:21:20Come in.
01:21:22Merry Christmas, Theo.
01:21:22Come in.
01:21:36Hey.
01:21:39Hey.
01:21:40Merry Christmas.
01:21:41Hey.
01:21:42Thanks.
01:21:42You, too.
01:21:43So, what are you doing to celebrate today?
01:21:46Uh, I, uh, I was afraid of that.
01:21:50Come to the house with me and Nanji.
01:21:52Oh, no.
01:21:53I couldn't do that.
01:21:55Why not?
01:21:55I'm fine here.
01:21:57I'm opening presents.
01:21:59Alone?
01:22:00You're here, aren't you?
01:22:01All right.
01:22:02Open mine, then.
01:22:04You should at least come over for dinner.
01:22:07No.
01:22:08That's okay.
01:22:09Come on.
01:22:10Angie's making that stuffing you really like.
01:22:12Oh.
01:22:12Don't tempt me.
01:22:15Oh.
01:22:16Not bad, huh?
01:22:17Sweet, Steven.
01:22:19Sweet.
01:22:22Are you sure you're okay?
01:22:24Yeah.
01:22:26All right.
01:22:26Well, dinner's at five if you change your mind.
01:22:28Okay.
01:22:29Hey, Merry Christmas.
01:22:31See ya.
01:22:32See ya.
01:22:32See ya.
01:22:34What are you doing?
01:23:03Oh.
01:23:04Hi.
01:23:05Hi.
01:23:06What are you doing?
01:23:09Tearing down the wall?
01:23:12I ran into Steven and the landlord already.
01:23:14They seem excited.
01:23:16This was supposed to be a Christmas surprise for you, though.
01:23:20Yeah, I'm very much surprised.
01:23:23There's a giant hole in the wall.
01:23:26Why is there a hole in the wall?
01:23:28I'm taking on a new partner.
01:23:31Two, actually.
01:23:32We're combining Colette's Cafe and sweet pastries.
01:23:37I've wanted Colette's Cafe to change and grow for a while now.
01:23:40And this...
01:23:42Well, one might call it expanding.
01:23:45We're adding desserts and making it more of a hangout than just for the sandwich and coffee crowd.
01:23:52What do you think?
01:23:54What do you think?
01:23:57Expanding?
01:23:58If it's okay with you.
01:24:00We'll have some pardon our dust signs around for a while.
01:24:03Well, but the cafe can stay open while we finish the work.
01:24:08With this wall gone, we have room for more seating, dessert counters, and...
01:24:15I kind of thought we could have a hot chocolate bar area, but I especially wanted your input on that.
01:24:22Sweet pastries...
01:24:24Here?
01:24:27Steven already signed off on it.
01:24:28I'm just waiting for the second half of sweet pastries to agree.
01:24:34You're serious.
01:24:36Seems like it.
01:24:38I know it's a lot of work, but we can do most of it ourselves just like you planned to before.
01:24:43You're doing this for me?
01:24:48For us.
01:24:51Why?
01:24:53Because.
01:24:55Because it makes sense.
01:24:57That whole situation with me trying to sell the hot chocolate.
01:25:01I was itching to do more.
01:25:04But it wasn't right.
01:25:06And then you came along.
01:25:08And it's like it was meant to be.
01:25:11Not at first, of course.
01:25:15But I think I've seen what Grandma must have seen.
01:25:20Someone special.
01:25:22And the thought of coming here every day and not seeing you seemed bleak.
01:25:30Well, I know what you mean.
01:25:32You do?
01:25:35When I first met you, there was something about you that...
01:25:40I wanted in my life.
01:25:44Even later, I still liked you.
01:25:47When I was awful to you?
01:25:50It wasn't that bad.
01:25:53Well, I'm glad I didn't scare you away.
01:25:56Why is that?
01:25:57Because I think I'm falling in love with you.
01:26:05What do you think?
01:26:27What do you think?
01:26:31Uh, what should we call it?
01:26:35I'm not sure.
01:26:38We're combining Colette's Cafe and sweet pastries and Grandma Thea's hot chocolate.
01:26:46Hmm.
01:26:48How about Thea's?
01:26:55Thea's.
01:26:57It's perfect.
01:27:00Merry Christmas.
01:27:03Merry Christmas.
01:27:04Merry Christmas.
01:27:05Merry Christmas.
01:27:14Oh
01:27:44Oh
01:28:14Oh
01:28:44Oh
01:28:48Oh
01:28:52Oh
01:28:58Oh
01:29:02Oh
01:29:06Oh
01:29:14Oh
01:29:20You
