00:39But remember, my real secret identity is Superman.
00:43So, whenever we're out in public, you have to call me Uncle Maxwell.
00:48Okay?
00:49Okay, Uncle Maxwell.
00:52Where's your mom at?
00:54You gonna be my little waiter today?
00:56Mommy's in the kitchen making soup, but I told her I wanted to help out.
01:00Alright.
01:01Well, let's see what you got then, Mr. Julian.
01:03What would you recommend?
01:05The cassoulet is amazing.
01:08Then, there's the rosemary and lamb chops.
01:11I love the taste of rosemary.
01:13And you gotta try the lemon tart.
01:15It's the perfect mix of sweet and tangy.
01:18Wow.
01:19This kid's tastes are just like mine.
01:23Alright.
01:24That all sounds great.
01:25Why don't you go get that started for me, bud?
01:27You got it!
01:37Here you go.
01:39I hope you enjoy.
01:40Let me know if you need anything else.
01:42Mmm.
01:48Oh my gosh.
01:50That is amazing.
01:51That is the best cassoulet that I've ever tasted.
01:54I mean, the broth is perfect.
01:56The seasoning is spot on.
01:58The crust is perfectly crispy and has a nice soft bottom to it.
02:02I mean, even the best chefs in America can't top this.
02:05Of course.
02:06My mom is the youngest person to ever win the World Cooking Championship.
02:10She's a genius chef.
02:12Five stars all the way.
02:14Really?
02:15Now that is impressive.
02:18Skylar.
02:19You know, this might be a bit sudden.
02:21But how would you like to be a food consultant on our new movie?
02:33Where is Blair?
02:35Why isn't she here yet?
02:37Blair.
02:42There you are.
02:43Where have you been?
02:44We've all been waiting.
02:45I'm sorry.
02:46The paparazzi chased me for like eight blocks.
02:48Let me make it up to everyone.
02:50I'll treat you all to French for lunch.
02:54We're doing the big cooking scenes next week.
02:56There's going to be a lot of close-ups of you chopping.
02:58How's knife work coming along?
03:00Chopping is so hard.
03:03Look at my hands.
03:04They're too pretty to risk getting hurt.
03:07I just, uh, I think we should just do a double.
03:09Great.
03:11Well, if you're not even willing to hold a knife,
03:13don't bother showing up to set tomorrow.
03:16Wait!
03:17Max!
03:18You can't just replace me like that.
03:21Um, I'm sorry.
03:22I was being a little dramatic.
03:27I'll practice more this week.
03:28I promise.
03:29I have a food consultant lined up to work with you.
03:31You're gonna get with her every day and practice.
03:33If you can't get it down by then,
03:35you're out as the lead.
03:37She's here now.
03:38Go introduce yourself.
03:40Hi, Claire.
03:51Long time no see.
03:53You?
03:55You're really back?
03:58How is this possible?
04:00Wait.
04:02You two know each other?
04:04Of course.
04:05We used to be-
04:06Neighbors!
04:07But then Skylar went abroad for school and we lost touch.
04:13I'm just a bit shocked to see her here.
04:16So, Skylar, uh, how did you become our food consultant?
04:21I don't remember you ever going to culinary school.
04:24You didn't just fake your way in, did you?
04:28I got this job on my own merit.
04:31Oh, really?
04:32Because I remember you used to pull all kinds of stunts to get by.
04:36You sure you didn't just accidentally bump into Max and charm your way into this gig?
04:41You better have proof before you start accusing me, or it's slander.
04:45You can't blame me for being skeptical.
04:47I mean, a chef qualified to consult for a Klein Group film wouldn't be this young.
04:53I'm just looking out for the movie.
04:55If we hire someone unqualified, the audience will rip us apart.
04:58Tell you what, I don't want to make this difficult for you.
05:02Why don't you just cook us up a few dishes right here and we'll see what you got?
05:07That'll settle everyone's doubts.
05:09Sure.
05:11Do you want it freestyle or a specific theme?
05:14Jason is the pickiest eater on set.
05:17If you can make a plate that wins him over, I'll gladly take cooking lessons from you.
05:22Deal.
05:28Grilled skewers, steak, and braised beef.
05:48Really Skylar?
05:50You say you earned this job on your own merit, but you didn't even know Jason's a vegetarian?
05:55A real chef should know her guest's preferences, Skylar.
06:01Did you seriously make Jason a meat dish?
06:04I mean, how do you expect him to rate your food after this?
06:07Max, it's obvious Skylar isn't taking this seriously.
06:13She's obviously not up for the task.
06:15We need someone qualified, like a five-star chef.
06:19Yeah, I think Skylar might not be the right fit for this production.
06:22Maybe we should look for our head chef from one of the top Michelin-starred places around here.
06:27Who said this was meat?
06:30Everything here is plant-based soy and mushroom, all seasoned with plant-based ingredients.
06:37As a professional chef, I made sure to check everyone's dietary preferences beforehand.
06:41Jason, since you're still transitioning into vegetarianism and sometimes miss the texture of meat,
06:49I put together a dish that looks and tastes like meat, but fits your diet.
06:54As for how the dish tastes, you'll just have to try it for yourself.
06:58Wow, this is delicious. My taste buds are practically dancing.
07:15Skylar, can I hit up your restaurant after we wrap for some more?
07:19Beef is tender, flavorful. I would have never been able to tell that it wasn't real meat.
07:25This might actually be better than the real thing.
07:30Well, Blair, are you still doubting Skylar?
07:34No.
07:36Good. Until we're done, you're gonna shadow her.
07:41You're gonna learn everything she has to teach you.
07:45If I hear you're not cooperating, I won't think twice about replacing you.
07:50Fine. I'll cooperate.
07:53Okay, this. Underneath here.
08:02You can take this out.
08:05Blair, you need to cut alongside the grain, or you're going to ruin the texture.
08:10Okay, with smooth skinned vegetables, you need to cut skin side down, or the knife is gonna slip.
08:23Skylar, are you trying to mess with me?
08:28We're making a food eccentric movie, and you're playing a professional chef.
08:34If you can't get the basics down, the audience is gonna tear you apart.
08:38Blair, you slack off again, you're out. I will replace you.
08:42Did you see that look on Blair's face? She was just trash-talking Skylar's skills. Now look at her. She's been practicing the entire day, but can't even cook one dish right.
08:55She's been coming after our crew for ages. It's about time someone's put her in her place.
09:01Done.
09:02Can I go now?
09:05Just make sure you show up on time tomorrow. We'll pick up where we left off.
09:09So, how's the training going?
09:22Mommy! I'm here to pick you up!
09:28Oh! Julian!
09:31Let me check his arm.
09:40Sir? Sir?
09:44That birthmark is the same one that runs in your family.
