01:30I hereby declare it open for business.
01:38To win over the locals, they hired the most trusted man in St. John's.
01:42And now, some words from the C-plus spokesman.
01:46My dad.
01:47Thank you, Premier.
01:48C-plus orange juice puts the vitamin C into orange juice.
01:54That's C spelled S-E-A, not C spelled C.
01:58Newfoundland is set to become the Florida of the North Atlantic.
02:06And now, are there any questions?
02:08Are there even real oranges in it?
02:10Yes, Fox, there are trace amounts in every vat.
02:16Now, as I was saying...
02:17But you can't grow oranges in Newfoundland.
02:20No, we use concentrate, which is the best part of the orange.
02:24And that comes straight from Florida.
02:26And then we mix that with fresh Newfoundland water.
02:31And that's water that the icebergs have melted into.
02:34Salt water?
02:36No, no.
02:38Newfoundland municipal water.
02:41Okay, so tap water.
02:43No comment?
02:46Enough.
02:47Fox, we are here to learn about business.
02:52You'll each be starting one of your own for the new enterprise education course.
02:56And your business plans are due tomorrow.
03:00Can we do it in pairs, sister?
03:02I don't care.
03:04Nice.
03:13Well, kids, what do you think?
03:16You can really taste the water.
03:19Good.
03:20That's good.
03:22Everyone hated it, but I couldn't be prouder.
03:24My dad was an entrepreneur, and I wanted to be just like him.
03:29But successful.
03:33The old man was excited for his new gig.
03:36He had a pep in his step, probably from all the corn syrup.
03:39Our ship's come in, Mary.
03:41We're in on the ground floor.
03:42We have reaction to a new loan business.
03:45I'd rather have scurvy.
03:46Oh, this is it.
03:48This is it.
03:48Volume, volume.
03:50The premier attended the grand opening of the C-plus juice plant today.
03:54The zest has yet to come.
03:57But not everyone believes the deal is fruitful.
04:00The government shouldn't be giving away any more tax money to these fly-by-night companies.
04:04I give C-plus a C-minus.
04:07The premier is being a juicer, sirs.
04:10That's it?
04:10They twisted it all up?
04:14You can't trust a newsman.
04:16I think you look handsome.
04:18But honey, are you sure that the station's all right with this?
04:22It's fine.
04:23It's fine.
04:24Just listen.
04:25Now, today is the day.
04:27Double daylight savings time begins in Newfoundland at midnight.
04:30What's that mean?
04:32They're turning the clock back.
04:33Two hours.
04:34We'll be lined up with the mainland.
04:36No more lagging behind a half an hour.
04:38This is better for business.
04:40You know, but our own time zone makes us unique.
04:43Besides the fact that that extra half an hour comes in handy.
04:47Imagine if they drop the bomb.
04:50The world will end at 12 o'clock.
04:5212.30 in Newfoundland.
04:54Be damn good for tourism.
04:57Now, when it's 9 o'clock in Toronto, it's 9.10.
05:011942 in Newfoundland.
05:03We need to get with the times.
05:04Literally.
05:05Cool.
05:06Like Back to the Future.
05:07You'll be going to school in the dark and going to bed in the light.
05:11Double daylight savings is good for business.
05:14I'm with Dad.
05:16Big ideas equals big returns.
05:19Hmm.
05:19What does that mean?
05:21I don't know.
05:22I've just started reading this business book for school.
05:24Let me see it.
05:28Thinking big allows you to be successful
05:30without doing a lot of work.
05:33I don't think you're going to get very far acting that way.
05:36Not doing any work might take more work than I thought.
05:40The next morning wasn't a morning at all.
05:42It was still night.
05:45All right.
05:45I'm off.
05:46Wait.
05:46Hang on now.
05:47Hang on.
05:47Here.
05:48Take some C-plus orange juice boxes into the school for your friends.
05:52Look.
05:54Did you come up with your business idea yet?
05:56Well, not yet.
05:57The book says I have to make a product that will fill a void in the market.
06:00Thinking like a businessman.
06:02Just like your old man.
06:04Speaking of markets, I saw a lot of C-plus over at Coleman's yesterday.
06:09On the shelves, but not in any carts.
06:11I mean, you can't even grow Christmas trees in Newfoundland.
06:14How the hell are they going to grow oranges?
06:17It's from concentrate, Pop.
06:18We import the syrup on trucks, and then we rehydrate it.
06:23Instant orange juice?
06:25I think I'll stick to instant coffee.
06:28And if you want to make money in these hours, that's what you should be selling.
06:32Coffee.
06:33Coffee?
06:34My brain was percolating.
06:36Thanks, Pop.
06:38Huh?
06:38What?
06:39What?
06:39You know, you should all be more supportive of a C-plus and double daylight savings side.
06:44Good Newfoundlanders support good Newfoundland business.
06:47And why should we be inconvenienced?
06:49Just so some rich arse can get richer.
06:52Nobody is being inconvenienced.
06:56I gotta go to work.
06:57Sister.
07:12Huh?
07:14Oh, that's it.
07:15There have been too many disruptions.
07:18Everyone put their heads down on their desks.
07:21Now.
07:23And stay there until I say so.
07:27Richie, I have a plan.
07:35Coffee.
07:36We'll sell it to teachers for 50 cents a cup.
07:39Double daylight savings has created a demand, and we're the supply.
07:43How did you afford this?
07:45Well, it's a rental.
07:45So as long as you make more than the fee.
07:47It's all gravy.
07:49And we'll set it up outside of the teacher's lounge.
07:51Location, location, location.
07:54That's lesson one of the business book.
07:56So now I just need to find the on switch and where to put the coffee.
08:02Well, this is the hopper.
08:04There's the grinder.
08:06Grind settings.
08:07My dad brews at a 1 to 17 grounds to water ratio, but I prefer 1 to 15.
08:11Makes for a fuller cup.
08:12I'm more of a tea man.
08:15Myself, you know, bag in.
08:17A new plan.
08:18The book says to always play to one's strengths, so I can do big picture stuff like marketing,
08:23finances, etc.
08:25I should be CEO.
08:27What should I be?
08:28You're in charge of the quality control.
08:30Providing top-tier service with a friendly face with each cup.
08:33So, waiter?
08:36No.
08:38More like a brewmaster.
08:40Cool.
08:41So what do you say, Richie, my boy?
08:44Are we in business?
08:46I'm in.
08:48Fantastic.
08:49Okay.
08:54Beautiful.
08:55Freak's sake.
09:10Oh, yeah, look at that.
09:13Takes the crime right off.
09:16Double daylight savings was ruining everyone, and we were cashing in.
09:20How much did we make?
09:2218 bucks.
09:23Rich.
09:23Maybe business was my calling.
09:27I'm in the 1%.
09:28Like milk.
09:31But that's not my drink of choice.
09:33No.
09:33It's coffee.
09:35But I'm thirsty.
09:37I want more to drink.
09:39Because greed is good.
09:43Excuse me.
09:46Hello, Allison?
09:48Buy C-plus juice?
09:49And fire everyone.
09:51Including yourself.
09:53I'm wiped.
09:56Can you help me clean up?
09:58Sorry, Richie, my boy, but I have a bus to catch, and then I gotta go home and then do
10:02the books.
10:03CEO stuff.
10:04It's a tough gig, but someone's gotta do it.
10:08You fellas still open?
10:10I'm dying for a cup.
10:11Actually, we were just closing up.
10:13Nonsense.
10:14Richie, brew the man a cup.
10:16No, that's wasting a full pot.
10:18He's your best customer.
10:20Too green, too sugar.
10:22And that's on the house.
10:24That's our double daylight savings special.
10:27Wow.
10:27See you later, partner.
10:31How's the juice selling?
10:34Sales are steady.
10:38Mike.
10:40It'll sell, Mary.
10:42Soon C-plus juice is gonna be as Newfoundland as fish and chips.
10:46Trust me.
10:47Our ship has come in.
10:48I just don't see it, Mike.
10:52I don't know.
10:53The fact that you're out there is the face of it.
10:57I just don't want you to be embarrassed is all.
11:02Embarrassed?
11:04C-plus chose me as her spokesman because people trust me, Mary.
11:08Maybe you should, too.
11:12Good night.
11:13Fine.
11:18Good morning.
11:26Oh.
11:28Bloody birds.
11:30Shut up!
11:32This can't be right.
11:35Pop, I'm in the hole.
11:37Rental fees, free coffee for teachers, coffee bags,
11:40the protection fee I paid Fox's brother.
11:42It all added up to nothing.
11:45Allison, what is going on there?
11:47They're taking everything.
11:49Okay, take that.
11:51No.
11:52Well, at least they didn't take them.
11:55The painting.
11:58I needed to think of a plan,
12:01even if it meant staying up all night or day.
12:04All right.
12:05That's it.
12:07Let's see how they chirp with my hands around their throats.
12:10Good morning, Richie, my boy.
12:26How's the take?
12:27Maybe you can take the early shift tomorrow.
12:30I'd love to, truthfully, but I get the bus and you get dropped off,
12:34so it makes business sense for you to be here.
12:37That's true, I guess.
12:38And speaking of business, we're changing our prices.
12:41From now on, we're going to charge for cream and sugar,
12:43and we're going to use half the grinds per pot.
12:45No, the coffee will taste weak.
12:47Nutting some clever marketing can't solve.
12:51See?
12:52Wait, I thought I was in charge of the coffee.
12:56You are.
12:56It's just I'm in charge of the bottom line,
12:58and these streamlined movements, well, they'll just maximize profits.
13:02Oh, and stop pouring out the coffee at the end of the day.
13:06That's like pouring money down the toilet.
13:08We should just reheat what we don't sell today in the kettle tomorrow morning.
13:13Nobody will know the difference.
13:16Is something wrong?
13:19No.
13:20Just, we're killing it.
13:24Okay, just include me in the decisions next time.
13:27We're partners, right?
13:30Oh, of course we are.
13:34Oh, I'll see you in class, partner.
13:38Morning, Mary.
13:56So, uh, what's for breakfast?
13:59It's two in the afternoon.
14:01Not for me it's not.
14:02It's 8 a.m. PST.
14:05Pop standard time.
14:07If they can change the time, so can I.
14:10I've got my own time zone, pop time.
14:13I sleep when I like, eat when I like, and pee when...
14:17Where do you get the drift?
14:19I won't have two time zones in my house.
14:22Why not?
14:23I'm not going to make two breakfasts a day.
14:26I don't like double daylight any more than you do,
14:29but we're a family, and we will be miserable together.
14:32Oh, really?
14:34Well, you're a fine one to talk.
14:35What's that supposed to mean?
14:37Come on, let's be honest.
14:39You've been against Mike's orange juice thing from the very beginning.
14:43He's making a fool of himself.
14:45He's taken a risk.
14:48And he's probably scared.
14:52He could use some support.
14:53If he wants some support, he can buy a cane.
14:58I'm not going to help him ruin his good name.
15:01And now a word from C-Plus Juice.
15:05Call in and let us know what you think about C-Plus Juice,
15:08and you can win a box delivered right to your door.
15:11Phone lines are open.
15:13Ah, the lines are open.
15:19Who wants some free C-Plus?
15:21I want you to get the ball, Roland Dick.
15:27Tell us what you think about C-Plus.
15:29Um, well, I guess I always hear people saying it's from concentrate,
15:36and I wondered what concentrate means exactly.
15:40Uh, it means that the orange taste is, uh, concentrated, made stronger, if you will.
15:47Oh, so concentrate isn't a place, then?
15:51Like, it's from concentrate?
15:54No, Dick, no.
15:56People never want a slice of orange in a drink.
15:58Lemon's got a real hold on slices, don't it?
16:01No, for free's sake.
16:03All right.
16:04Well, we're in lime.
16:05Lime's too, I suppose.
16:08No, lime is...
16:10It's like a lime that isn't ripe yet, right, Colin?
16:13Oh, uh, we have a caller.
16:16Line one, you're on the air.
16:18I'm a mother, and I buy C-Plus for my family
16:23because it's made with real Newfoundland water.
16:25That's right, caller.
16:27C-Plus Juice is made with fresh Newfoundland water.
16:31Uh, we'll be right back after this.
16:36Mike.
16:39You can't be using the station to hawk C-Plus Juice anymore.
16:43It's a conflict of interest.
16:45No, no, Mr. Murphy, I don't see it that way, you see.
16:47This is news.
16:48Now, the province made a major investment...
16:50Mike, Mike.
16:52Did you ever stop to think maybe, just maybe,
16:57they hired you to be their spokesman
16:59so they could get free air time?
17:04No more, Mike.
17:05No more.
17:06No more.
17:06This coffee is barely brown.
17:18It's our new half-calf blend.
17:19I'll get lipstick on my cup.
17:21We reuse cups now.
17:22It's part of our new Environment First initiative.
17:25I ordered a double-double.
17:26That's 50 cents.
17:28Cream's a quarter now.
17:29I'll go boil the kettle.
17:31Uh, what are you doing?
17:36I'm doing what you said.
17:38No, we have to cut back slowly over time.
17:40Didn't you read the book?
17:41No, I don't care about your stupid book.
17:43This is supposed to be fun.
17:44Business isn't fun.
17:46It's about making money.
17:48Fine.
17:49You want to make more money?
17:50This is one less employee you have to pay.
17:54What do you mean?
17:55I quit.
17:58Partner.
17:58Partner.
18:15Mike?
18:16What's wrong?
18:18I got fired.
18:21Why?
18:22Because you were hawking that juice?
18:25What?
18:25No, not from the station.
18:27From C+.
18:28Oh, thank heavens.
18:33I mean, I'm sorry, love.
18:37Mr. Murphy told me you're not allowed to talk about it on here anymore.
18:40When I told the crowd the juice plant, they said I was redundant.
18:44What?
18:46Hiring you was the only good decision those pack-and-fools ever made.
18:50I caught up with the excitement is all.
18:53I just wanted to make you proud of me.
18:57I'm proud of you.
18:59You're kind, smart, loyal, hardworking.
19:05Oh, those C-plus people don't deserve you.
19:08I deserve you.
19:10I love you.
19:13Our ship will come in one day, Mary.
19:16I promise.
19:18Mine already has.
19:20What? When?
19:22You, you dolt. You're my ship.
19:26I know that juice isn't any good.
19:29Oh, that's not true.
19:35It's good for something.
19:37Look.
19:38It cuts through a crease.
19:45Huh.
19:46Yeah.
19:48Okay.
19:49Uh, here you are, sir.
19:54There's grounds in my cup.
19:57Colombian grounds.
19:58No, it's, it's just like drinking tea with a bag in.
20:03Just a torn bag.
20:08Hey.
20:10Burned your hand on the heating element.
20:13Repeatedly.
20:15Good.
20:15I deserve that.
20:20I got a little crazy there, didn't I?
20:22Guess I got caught up trying to be like, Dad.
20:25Turns out neither of us are that great a business, I guess.
20:29Money isn't everything.
20:30Well, aren't you tired of lending me fish and chip money or splitting a slushy two ways?
20:39That's what friends do.
20:42Start over.
20:44But from here on out, we're fully partners.
20:46And we'll do all the work together.
20:48Equally.
20:50I mean, what's the point of having money if you don't have anyone to spend it with?
20:56Okay.
20:58Partners.
20:58Ah, that's smarts.
21:05I know.
21:07Well, let's get to work.
21:10Partner.
21:12Friendship is like money.
21:14Easier made than kept.
21:16Doubling your money is great, but splitting it is better.
21:20Mark and Richie made $58 selling coffee.
21:25And Fox made $164.
21:32$50-50 draw.
21:34Kids thought that there was their odds of winning, and I just didn't correct them.
21:38Money is easy come.
21:42After months of lackluster sales, the C-plus juice factory is no more.
21:47Easy go.
21:48But no matter how dark it gets, the sun's always shining somewhere.
21:55And due to public outcry, the government has canceled at double daylight savings time.
22:00The costs go back to normal.
22:01Tonight.
22:03The thing you need to be most careful about spending...
22:06Oh, I can't sleep.
22:10It's too damn dark.
22:13Ah, that's better.
22:15Good night.
22:18Night, Pop.
22:20It's time.
22:21Ugh.
22:23Ugh.
22:24Ugh.
22:24Ugh.
22:24Ugh.
