00:00:24Oh
00:00:35Excuse me.
00:00:37Good morning.
00:00:38Hey, good morning.
00:00:41John.
00:00:43Hi, good morning.
00:00:459.30.
00:00:48Bianca?
00:00:50My name is Bianca.
00:00:51I know that.
00:00:52Where are you going?
00:00:53I gotta go to work. I'm late.
00:00:55Don't go to work.
00:00:56Come on, Johnny. Stay with me.
00:00:58I can't. I gotta go.
00:01:00No, you don't.
00:01:01I'll make you a nice breakfast,
00:01:03and then we'll crawl back into bed
00:01:05and finish where we left off last night.
00:01:07That sounds amazing, but I gotta go.
00:01:10No, you don't.
00:01:12You're making this really hard.
00:01:14I'll show you how amazing I can really be.
00:01:18Um, I'll tell you what.
00:01:21Bianca?
00:01:21Bianca, leave your number.
00:01:23I'll be in touch. I gotta go.
00:01:24Tony, you sure?
00:01:26Yes, um, just don't forget to lock the door.
00:01:28I'll be in touch.
00:01:29I'll be in touch.
00:01:30Johnny!
00:01:31John.
00:01:32What's up, Dad?
00:01:33Inside my office now.
00:01:35What's up, Pops?
00:01:36Don't Pops me.
00:01:37Inside.
00:01:43Sit.
00:01:44Can we do this later?
00:01:45I'm busy.
00:01:46I didn't realize the fruit of my loins
00:01:48had produced royalty.
00:01:51Little Lord Fomperoy comes strolling in at 12 noon
00:01:55and says,
00:01:56Gee, Dad, I'm busy.
00:01:58Can this wait?
00:02:00Pops, Dad, I'm sorry.
00:02:02I woke up late.
00:02:04Look at you.
00:02:06You're a goddamn mess.
00:02:08Did you even fall asleep last night?
00:02:12Here, drink some of this.
00:02:18You didn't, did you?
00:02:20You just come sauntering in for one of your late night shenanigans.
00:02:24I may be a dinosaur, but I understand one word.
00:02:28Responsibility.
00:02:29Dad, you know me.
00:02:31Yeah, I know you, son.
00:02:34That's why I'm going to give it to you straight.
00:02:42I'm thinking about closing down the shop.
00:02:46I know this must come as a surprise to you
00:02:49since you seem to walk around in a stupor most of the time.
00:02:52But elite printing isn't doing the business
00:02:54we were doing five years ago.
00:02:56It's the damn computer age.
00:02:58Nobody uses printed paper anymore.
00:03:01So you have been paying attention.
00:03:03Yeah, but we do have some good clients.
00:03:05Yeah, well, something's not going to be good enough, John.
00:03:09I'm afraid the state the business is in,
00:03:10I won't be able to get any money for it.
00:03:13So I'm thinking I'm just going to close shop,
00:03:15sell the building, and retire.
00:03:17But the question is, what am I going to do with you?
00:03:20You're almost 40 now.
00:03:21Look, I know I've been slacking off lately.
00:03:23Lately?
00:03:25Don't lie to yourself, John.
00:03:27Dad, you know I got what it takes.
00:03:30Johnny, that's not the problem.
00:03:32You see, you've always had what it takes.
00:03:35Your problem's always been direction.
00:03:38You and me, we have this conversation
00:03:40time and time again and time and time again.
00:03:42You let me down.
00:03:44Drinking, gambling, revolving door of women.
00:03:47Dad.
00:03:47You got charisma, John.
00:03:49And God knows you're a good person,
00:03:51but you're not a business person.
00:03:52Dad, cut me slack.
00:03:53I can do this.
00:03:55Look, I've almost made up my mind.
00:03:58But you know your mom.
00:03:59She worries about you.
00:04:02So here's the deal.
00:04:03I'm probably going to regret doing this,
00:04:05but here goes.
00:04:07You got three months
00:04:08to come up with a business plan that works,
00:04:11and then you have another three months
00:04:13to execute that plan
00:04:14in a way that I see some bottom line.
00:04:16Three months?
00:04:18Three months.
00:04:19Not fair.
00:04:21Who ever said life's fair, John?
00:04:25Three months.
00:04:26I'll try.
00:04:29I love you.
00:04:31But you're going to do a hell of a lot better than try.
00:04:34You're going to focus,
00:04:35you're going to motivate yourself,
00:04:36and you're going to get this done.
00:04:37Or you're going to find yourself
00:04:38on the unemployment line
00:04:39because I've run out of options to help you.
00:04:42Understood?
00:04:44Well, what do you want me to say?
00:04:45You know what to say.
00:04:48Agreed.
00:04:52Deal.
00:04:53Go clean yourself up
00:04:55and get to work.
00:05:00Hey, John!
00:05:01Later, Nicole.
00:05:11That's my beautiful babe.
00:05:13Why were you so weird on the phone?
00:05:15Really?
00:05:16Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry about that.
00:05:18I had a change.
00:05:19What's up?
00:05:21Where were you last night?
00:05:23I got a kiss first.
00:05:25Where were you last night?
00:05:27I was up with the guys.
00:05:28Yeah, I called you four times.
00:05:30Yeah, and I thought you were going to your sister's for dinner.
00:05:32And I thought you were staying in.
00:05:33I was staying in.
00:05:34A boy called me for a beer,
00:05:35and I went out.
00:05:36What's wrong with that?
00:05:37Pauly, really?
00:05:38Pauly, really?
00:05:38That's a load of crap.
00:05:39You mean more like Paulina or Christina or some other slut?
00:05:43I said, I don't care where you were.
00:05:46I frankly don't care anymore.
00:05:48But I've had it.
00:05:49You're unfaithful, unreliable, and uncouth.
00:05:53Uncouth?
00:05:53Really?
00:05:55You're really going to make fun of my English right now.
00:05:57You are such a jerk.
00:05:59Babe.
00:05:59No, you know what?
00:06:00You are uncouth.
00:06:05And I thought you were the one.
00:06:09And I know deep down inside you're a good person.
00:06:12But I can't keep digging through the lies to find that good guy.
00:06:15I can't do this anymore.
00:06:18What?
00:06:18You...
00:06:19You duffing me?
00:06:21Listen, I wish you all the best.
00:06:23But it is over for us.
00:06:26It's over.
00:06:27Come on, babe.
00:06:29Goodbye, John.
00:06:31Good luck with the business.
00:06:33Babe.
00:06:34Michelle!
00:06:44Thanks for making me out.
00:06:46I don't think we got the account.
00:06:47Don't be so negative.
00:06:48Did you see his face when I showed up in these brochures?
00:06:51Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
00:06:53What do you got?
00:06:54Networking.
00:06:56What's that?
00:06:57My brother Eric swears by it.
00:06:59He belongs to this group, EVN, Early Bird Networkers.
00:07:02Come on.
00:07:03It's just a suggestion.
00:07:05Look, he gets some really great business leads from them.
00:07:08And, you know, it really wouldn't hurt you to just call him, right?
00:07:11That doesn't sound like my scene.
00:07:13Why don't you just talk to him?
00:07:14Just give him a call.
00:07:16I do away with people.
00:07:19Yeah, you can say that.
00:07:21Might even ask what that means.
00:07:23All right.
00:07:23Email me his number.
00:07:24I'll make a call, but I'm not making promises.
00:07:27Okay.
00:07:32Hey, sis.
00:07:33Johnny.
00:07:34Johnny.
00:07:34Oh, thank God.
00:07:36You smoking again?
00:07:38Yeah, well, you know, this is what Beth and Pete do to me.
00:07:40Oh, no.
00:07:41They're here already?
00:07:42Yeah, man.
00:07:42They're already at it.
00:07:44Is my mom already smoking?
00:07:46No.
00:07:47Any gum?
00:07:48No.
00:07:49Well, let's go in.
00:07:50Come on.
00:07:54Yeah, but you're not there every day, are you, Pete?
00:07:56He can't be there every day.
00:07:58He has his own business.
00:08:00He's a psychologist.
00:08:02He does crucial work.
00:08:04Here, sweetheart.
00:08:04Have some greens.
00:08:06You know what I'm saying, Beth.
00:08:11Sweetheart, why don't you go read your book, okay?
00:08:13You can take your rope with you.
00:08:14I want to watch Uncle Johnny fight with Daddy.
00:08:16Nobody's going to have a fight, sweetheart.
00:08:17Now I tell it to the living room.
00:08:21The hightail is too cool to feel, sweetheart.
00:08:23Try not to be like your family.
00:08:25Sorry, honey.
00:08:27No problem.
00:08:28Now don't forget, John, we all have an interest in the business.
00:08:31That's the way that Dad set it up.
00:08:32Can you stop, please?
00:08:33Look, I never understood that.
00:08:35He sits in his big chair, shrinking heads for $400 an hour, while I'm in the office every
00:08:40day.
00:08:40How do you figure he gets his share?
00:08:43Well, you know what?
00:08:43Actually, Pete, John can have my share.
00:08:46Look, do we have to go through this every meal?
00:08:56I forgot to ask you, Johnny boy.
00:08:59How's Michelle?
00:09:02I don't know, Ma.
00:09:02We broke up.
00:09:04Aw.
00:09:06Broke up with Michelle.
00:09:07It figures.
00:09:08Shut up, man.
00:09:09I'm trying to figure this out.
00:09:10Well, let's face it.
00:09:10We all know John has a problem with responsibility.
00:09:13Are you serious right now?
00:09:14Look, can't we just sit down for one Sunday meal without the two of you going at it like
00:09:18alley cats?
00:09:19Pass me the meatball.
00:09:20He started, Dad.
00:09:21He started.
00:09:22I'm just trying to say, if you would all just let me speak, that quite possibly John's
00:09:27lack of responsibility, especially with women, may very well be due to a deeply rooted sexual
00:09:33identity problem.
00:09:34Are you serious?
00:09:35What?
00:09:36Which makes perfect sense, psychologically speaking.
00:09:38The big shot jock, always one woman or another in college.
00:09:41I mean, even now, definitely a sexual identity issue.
00:09:45I mean, that's so stupid.
00:09:45You know what, Pete?
00:09:46You've always been jealous of Johnny.
00:09:48We all know that.
00:09:49This is sick.
00:09:49What about when we were kids three years in a row, you went as Julia's child to the Halloween
00:09:54party?
00:09:55I love Julia.
00:09:57I'm not into that French stuff.
00:09:59Here, take that.
00:10:00And that voice grates on my nerves.
00:10:02Rita, have another brujol.
00:10:04And for God's sakes, get off that stupid diet.
00:10:06You're wasting your weight on nothing.
00:10:08Ma, can you stop, okay?
00:10:09I'm vegan now.
00:10:10Oh, vegan.
00:10:11You're vegan now.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:12Oh, my God.
00:10:13I'm getting vegan.
00:10:14Charlie, do you want any more pasta?
00:10:16No, I'm good.
00:10:16I'm good.
00:10:17What about your stomach?
00:10:18It's your stomach?
00:10:19You want some antacid?
00:10:20I'm fine.
00:10:22Okay.
00:10:22All right.
00:10:30What were you for Halloween?
00:10:33He was Freud.
00:10:34I've seen pictures.
00:10:35She wasn't talking to you, Beth.
00:10:38I don't remember.
00:10:39Besides, we're not talking about me.
00:10:40We're talking about you.
00:10:41You want to know?
00:10:43Wonder dog.
00:10:44Four years in a row, wonder dog.
00:10:48Is that why you have a deep-rooted urge to lift your leg every time you see a tree?
00:10:54Oh, that's so funny.
00:11:00Well, you know, it's a good thing that you're probably, you're actually still on a leash
00:11:02here with Beth.
00:11:05What's that supposed to mean, Rita?
00:11:07I don't know.
00:11:08Why don't you tell me, Beth?
00:11:10Please stop.
00:11:10You're upsetting your father.
00:11:12No, Mom.
00:11:13I want to know, what are we doing about this business?
00:11:16Dad, I forgot to tell you.
00:11:17Yeah, I had this networking thing on Tuesday.
00:11:19I'm going to check out.
00:11:21All right, look.
00:11:22I love you, okay?
00:11:23But look, don't love me so much, okay?
00:11:25As I was saying, you are no networker.
00:11:28I've worked with patients for years who can't talk to strangers about anything, let alone
00:11:33about a business.
00:11:35You don't have enough self-confidence, no matter what a big shot you think you are with
00:11:38the ladies.
00:11:39Look, Dad and I have a plan, so mind your business.
00:11:43This is family business.
00:11:44All right, enough with the Dr. Phil routine.
00:11:47You come over here every week and psychoanalyze your brother, and you, you're old enough to
00:11:51know better than to fight back.
00:11:53I'm Zed, I'm going to have my dessert inside with the kids.
00:11:57Move, move.
00:11:59Back to the other side with you.
00:12:01Charlie, you want some more brujol?
00:12:03Well, let me have the cuts, guys.
00:12:07I knew you had me beat, but I had to call.
00:12:09Hey, kid, his game is up the block, my friend.
00:12:11Oh, he's got a leasal wise ass.
00:12:13Learn to play, man.
00:12:14You're so obvious.
00:12:16He can't even spell poker.
00:12:17Yeah.
00:12:17Guys, can we just play the game?
00:12:19What's wrong with you, man?
00:12:20You've been acting weird the whole night.
00:12:22I'm just pissed.
00:12:23My father's been on my back about the business.
00:12:25Oh, you mean the lack of business?
00:12:26Yeah, he's blaming me for the whole printing industry.
00:12:28Like, I have something to do with it.
00:12:29And then my brother gets on my back.
00:12:31His brother's a real jerk, you know?
00:12:33All he cares about is his share of the building.
00:12:36Well, you know what that's about, Reed, right?
00:12:38Or his lack there of resentment, you know?
00:12:40Because he can't score with, like, the ladies like he can, you know?
00:12:44No, he can't.
00:12:45I'm just pissed.
00:12:47Well, I hate to break up this gathering, gentlemen, but it is 5 a.m.
00:12:515 a.m.
00:12:51Holy crap.
00:12:53What's the matter?
00:12:54Ah, I got this networking thing I go to.
00:12:56The networking?
00:12:57What are you doing?
00:12:57ABC, CBS, NBC, what?
00:13:01Networking.
00:13:02You can't network this morning.
00:13:04You can hardly stand up.
00:13:05No, I gotta make it.
00:13:06Hey, what are you doing?
00:13:07That's my drink.
00:13:08Are you gonna be all right?
00:13:10You know, if I leave now, I can make it.
00:13:12What time does it start?
00:13:137.
00:13:13I gotta run.
00:13:14Oh, my God.
00:13:14Come on, where are you going?
00:13:15You owe me 120 bucks.
00:13:22Good morning.
00:13:23How are we doing today?
00:13:25Good morning.
00:13:26Um, is this the EBN meeting?
00:13:30Early bird networkers meeting?
00:13:31Yes, EBN is just fine.
00:13:34And yes, it is indeed.
00:13:35Who might you be?
00:13:36Um, John Mangano.
00:13:38I'm Eric Healy's guest.
00:13:40Oh, there you are, John.
00:13:41Well, welcome.
00:13:42So nice to have you.
00:13:45I'm Miriam Holstead.
00:13:46I'll be your grader today.
00:13:48Hey, Miriam.
00:13:49Is, uh, is Eric here?
00:13:50Oh, that's him.
00:13:51Right over there.
00:13:53John, good to meet you in person.
00:13:56You too.
00:13:56Am I, uh, am I late?
00:13:57Oh, no, no, no.
00:13:59But do make sure to take some time to eat some breakfast.
00:14:02It's the most important meal of the day, you know.
00:14:04We're going to start any minute now, okay?
00:14:06Great.
00:14:06Thanks, Miriam.
00:14:07Mm-hmm.
00:14:09Uh, Miriam, let's put her breath, man.
00:14:10She can knock the buzzer off a shitwacker Jesus.
00:14:12I know.
00:14:13Oh, you guys should have a great people, not this early in the morning.
00:14:17We don't have the heart to tell her.
00:14:19Here, you're going to need this.
00:14:22Uh, late night?
00:14:24It shows.
00:14:25Just a little bit.
00:14:26Why don't you have some coffee?
00:14:27Sit next to me.
00:14:28Coffee?
00:14:28Sounds great.
00:14:29Cool.
00:14:30All right, good morning, good morning, good morning.
00:14:34Seven o'clock, right on time.
00:14:36All right, please, as usual, please shut off your cell phones, silence them, put them on, vibrate,
00:14:40whatever, and absolutely no texting, and especially you.
00:14:43I saw you.
00:14:44You're doing it again.
00:14:45I'm not texting, Bernard.
00:14:48No texting.
00:14:49I don't miss anything.
00:14:50All right, so first, our newcomer, John, welcome to EBN.
00:14:54All right.
00:14:58I'm Bernard Chumsky, and you will soon realize that EBN is a very special group.
00:15:03We have a very simple philosophy.
00:15:05Meet, greet, and do business.
00:15:07That's it.
00:15:08And you will see that everyone in EBN has an extensive book of business.
00:15:12So, you find out what they do.
00:15:15They find out what you do.
00:15:16And then you give and receive referrals.
00:15:19It's that simple, and man, it works.
00:15:25Robert, do you and Gus have something funny you want to share with the group?
00:15:29No, nothing in particular.
00:15:32I didn't think so.
00:15:33So, let's get down to business, okay?
00:15:35All right, so the members will introduce themselves, and you'll give a brief description of your business, and then we
00:15:41will get to our guest.
00:15:43John Mangano.
00:15:46All right, so let's start with, um, Gus.
00:15:50Good morning.
00:15:51My name is Gus Knight, and I'm with the Goodwin Group, a casualty and liability insurance company that offers comprehensive
00:15:58coverage on individuals and organizations, negligent acts and omissions, material damage, disability.
00:16:05You name it, the Goodwin Group's got you covered.
00:16:11I like it, Gus.
00:16:13Jill!
00:16:14Good morning, folks.
00:16:15My name is Jill Brandon.
00:16:17I own and operate a pest control company called Bug Out.
00:16:20We service both residential and commercial properties with our eco-friendly solutions.
00:16:24So, just remember, when the pests come in, don't panic, Bug Out!
00:16:31Bug Out!
00:16:36Sean.
00:16:39Sean Keen, Keenan Associates, Corporate Laws Out Game, Contracts, M&As, we run the whole gambit.
00:16:46If you own a company, you need representation.
00:16:49So don't sign a thing before you talk to us first.
00:16:53Keenan Associates, we're more than happy to be your mouthpiece.
00:16:57In fact, we're keen on the idea.
00:17:03And now we're going to hear from a member who's been with us since our first meeting.
00:17:07He's a great guy.
00:17:08Harold, Ashley, come up here.
00:17:09Tell him from up here.
00:17:12Harold!
00:17:13Harold!
00:17:21Well, in a nutshell, factoring may carry higher interest.
00:17:26But it's quick money when you need it the most.
00:17:30Factor that into the equation.
00:17:32Oh, brother.
00:17:36All right.
00:17:37So now, our final speaker will be David.
00:17:43Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
00:17:46My name is David Finkelstein.
00:17:48My company, Finkelstein & Associates, is a CPA firm for the business community.
00:17:54Now, we don't just file your taxes.
00:17:57Any schlump can do that.
00:17:58We help you plan and organize your state of finances and offer solutions that'll put lots of shekels back into
00:18:04your pocket.
00:18:06One area of expertise is tax credits.
00:18:10You think tax credits, people, and you'll be velling all the way to the bank.
00:18:16Very good, David.
00:18:17Very good.
00:18:19All right.
00:18:19So now we're going to hear from our guest.
00:18:21John, please introduce yourself and your business.
00:18:29Hi, everyone.
00:18:31My name's John Mangano.
00:18:33My company's Elite Printing, and, you know, we do printing.
00:18:38And what type of printing do you do?
00:18:41All types.
00:18:43We deal with businesses, corporate affairs, invitations, things of that nature.
00:18:54And what kind of business are you looking for?
00:18:57I have any business.
00:18:59Okay.
00:19:00Great.
00:19:01That's great.
00:19:01Okay, John.
00:19:07Thank you very much.
00:19:08All right.
00:19:09So is there anyone here who would like to thank anyone else for their referral this week?
00:19:18What?
00:19:19There's no referral this week?
00:19:20There's not one referral this week?
00:19:24Well, people, this silence is deafening here.
00:19:27So I guess our meeting is wrapping up here, but there is something important that I really feel I need
00:19:34to say.
00:19:39One guest.
00:19:41No, think about it.
00:19:44One guest.
00:19:46With all your interactions this week, with all the people you did business with, you could only come up with
00:19:51one guest?
00:19:53Please, no offense, John.
00:19:55No, none taken.
00:19:56No, our attrition rate is embarrassing.
00:20:00Embarrassing.
00:20:01Fifteen people in a year and a half?
00:20:03Folks, this is all about creating energy.
00:20:06It's about what you build.
00:20:08You have to invite people.
00:20:10You have to enlist people.
00:20:11The more members we have, the more money, the more membership fees we bring in.
00:20:16It's what you create.
00:20:18You have to create it from scratch, okay?
00:20:21So am I making myself clear?
00:20:23Guys, wake up.
00:20:25Really, am I making myself clear?
00:20:27Yes.
00:20:27Good.
00:20:28Now get out there and make some money.
00:20:30Come on.
00:20:31Get out there and work.
00:20:33Okay.
00:20:34Next week.
00:20:34Next week.
00:20:35Great.
00:20:38Your tagline, it's a little weak, but I think, oh, here comes John.
00:20:42Yeah, but...
00:20:43Hi, John.
00:20:44Hi, um...
00:20:45Joan Burke, the acupuncturist.
00:20:48Listen, I'd like to offer you a free treatment.
00:20:51My compliments.
00:20:53I bet I can hit just the right spots with my needles.
00:20:56That sounds, uh, interesting.
00:20:59Believe me, it would be my pleasure.
00:21:02Yeah, all right.
00:21:02Great.
00:21:03Thanks.
00:21:07I'd like to network with you, John.
00:21:10I bet I can take the work out of the word.
00:21:14Okay, uh, John, I'll give you a call.
00:21:19Joan, don't you have someone to poke or something?
00:21:23Give me a call, John.
00:21:29Don't get involved with her.
00:21:31She's a slush.
00:21:34What's a slush?
00:21:35A slut.
00:21:37If I had a dollar for every time she offered to poke a guy with those needles of hers,
00:21:40I'd be able to retire to Israel.
00:21:42Now, never mind her.
00:21:44Do you want to tango?
00:21:47Excuse me?
00:21:48That's how we call a one-on-one meeting.
00:21:50You know, it takes two to tango, off-site meeting, get to know each other's businesses better.
00:21:55Sure, uh, gotcha.
00:21:56We'll, we'll tango.
00:21:58Well, give me your card, I'll give you a call, and we'll get together, okay?
00:22:02Absolutely, thank you.
00:22:04David, right?
00:22:05Finkelstein?
00:22:06Yes.
00:22:08I gotcha.
00:22:08I got a run.
00:22:09I'll give you a call.
00:22:11That's, uh, interesting guy.
00:22:13Yeah, you should see him in shorts.
00:22:15He's got calves the size of a tree.
00:22:17Really?
00:22:17You gotta meet with the guy.
00:22:19He's very, very connected.
00:22:24I will, I guess.
00:22:25All right.
00:22:26Great, uh, listen, I gotta go to, uh, we're gonna tango soon, right?
00:22:30Yeah, well, uh, tango.
00:22:33Well, thank you, it was enlightening.
00:22:36Yeah?
00:22:37Mm.
00:22:38Give my sister a raise.
00:22:39Thanks.
00:22:40See you later.
00:22:42Would you like your sandwich?
00:22:44I love Subway.
00:22:45I always go for the fresh and fit choices.
00:22:47I'll be, it's an Italian BLT over there.
00:22:52You always were into the gourmet.
00:22:54No, but seriously, thanks for treating me to lunch.
00:22:58I know it's not much, but it's the least I could do for introducing me to Aaron.
00:23:02How was EBN?
00:23:05Fitch out of water.
00:23:07You'll get to hang with it.
00:23:10Can I ask you a question?
00:23:12Sure.
00:23:13Why did you hesitate when I asked you for lunch?
00:23:17You know why.
00:23:20Because of what happened with us?
00:23:22Let's just say I didn't want you thinking I was interested in repeating any old history.
00:23:28What happened with us?
00:23:31It just happened.
00:23:32I'm not even sure what happened.
00:23:34Then you left.
00:23:36It wasn't a leap of absence.
00:23:38We were a mistake, and I was a little confused.
00:23:41I just needed to get away from everyone and everything.
00:23:45No worries, I'm glad you're back at the front.
00:23:48Charles was really great about letting me do my job, but...
00:23:50You're great at what you do.
00:23:53For the record, you have always been, like, the sweetest guy.
00:23:59Really.
00:24:00And I swear, you could just charm the birds right out of the trees.
00:24:04But you're a little too charming.
00:24:07Yeah, that's just about everyone.
00:24:09Honesty was always your best policy.
00:24:12Yeah, well, you've got to be honest with people, you know.
00:24:13I tell Lisa that all the time.
00:24:15Lisa, what a great kid.
00:24:17How old is she now?
00:24:18Twelve.
00:24:18Very tall, twelve.
00:24:20Was her father tall?
00:24:24Not particularly.
00:24:25Kind of average height, I'd say.
00:24:28Twelve.
00:24:29Man, I feel so old.
00:24:31Old?
00:24:32No.
00:24:34You're still beautiful.
00:24:37Man, the years just fly by.
00:24:41It hasn't been easy.
00:24:42Single parenting is not a very glamorous job, I'll tell you that much.
00:24:47Rough, huh?
00:24:49It has, but at least it really makes it all worthwhile.
00:24:53She's amazing.
00:24:54The building where your printing shop is set up, do you own it?
00:24:57My father does.
00:24:58So it's a family business?
00:25:00Yeah, you can say that.
00:25:01Do you have a line of succession?
00:25:04What was that?
00:25:05Will you be taking over when your father retires?
00:25:07It all depends.
00:25:09I'll tell you the truth, the business is not doing well.
00:25:11I'm not sure if we're going to close the business down, sell the business or what.
00:25:15Oh, I see.
00:25:17Are you planning on joining EBN?
00:25:19Thinking about it.
00:25:20What do you expect to get from it?
00:25:22Hopefully some business.
00:25:24Well, EBN is okay.
00:25:27Personally, I think you're quitting.
00:25:29It's a bit of a frat party sometimes.
00:25:31You need to get out and mingle in my world.
00:25:34What world is that?
00:25:35The world of decision makers.
00:25:37Listen for it, you make a good impression.
00:25:39You're professional looking smart.
00:25:41Now, I make the rounds at lots of these events and forums.
00:25:43You know, where the big boys play.
00:25:44I can introduce you to them.
00:25:46They're all mishpaka to me.
00:25:48What's mishpaka?
00:25:49Family.
00:25:50I'm tight with a lot of these folks and they'll do me a favor and help you out.
00:25:54Can I ask you a question?
00:25:55Sure.
00:25:56How does an Asian American get the name Finkelstein?
00:25:59Oh, that.
00:26:00I was adopted from some one donkey far-crafted village in Vietnam by my parents, Harold
00:26:05and Barbara Finkelstein.
00:26:07So you are Jewish?
00:26:08Only on my parents' side.
00:26:09Boy, Jack, I'm joking.
00:26:11Of course I'm Jewish.
00:26:12Not kosher.
00:26:13My mother and I stopped keeping kosher years ago.
00:26:16We like bacon too much.
00:26:17Thanks a lot.
00:26:18I was just wondering.
00:26:19So does everybody else.
00:26:22Tommy Boy, John Mangano, how's Kimmy doing?
00:26:28Great, great.
00:26:29Listen, you got a six-month invoice overdue.
00:26:32You think you can handle it?
00:26:33Mary, John Mangano, how you doing?
00:26:38Still pretty, I bet, huh?
00:26:42Oh.
00:26:44That's a shame.
00:26:45Heidi, how's my favorite girl?
00:26:49Oh, Renee, I'm sorry, sweetie.
00:26:51No, no, no.
00:26:52I didn't mean to be offensive at all.
00:26:54Yeah, I'll call back.
00:26:55Jesus.
00:26:59Hey.
00:27:00Hey, John.
00:27:01Glad you could make it.
00:27:02Oh, are you crazy?
00:27:02Thanks for having me.
00:27:03Is there anybody here tonight?
00:27:04Oh, there's some.
00:27:06Lots of interesting people.
00:27:07Some are, eh.
00:27:09But you know what?
00:27:10You should grab yourself a drink and schmooze.
00:27:13Oh, yeah.
00:27:14Someone I gotta say hi to.
00:27:15I'll catch you later, right?
00:27:16Great, yeah.
00:27:18I'll schmooze.
00:27:21Can I get a Johnny Walker Black on the Rocks?
00:27:23Neat, please?
00:27:24Sure.
00:27:25Do you want to chase her?
00:27:26I'd rather chase you.
00:27:28I don't think so.
00:27:38Hey, I'm John Mangano.
00:27:40Enrico Diaz.
00:27:41What do you do?
00:27:42Uh, the printing business.
00:27:44Ah, printer.
00:27:45What's the name of your company?
00:27:46Elite Printing.
00:27:47What kind of work do you guys focus on?
00:27:50Uh, not much if you need a printing job.
00:27:53We'll link the deal for you.
00:27:55Uh, well, I have to.
00:28:00Why don't we go to Reggie's seat afterwards?
00:28:01Hey, guys, I'm John Mangano.
00:28:03How are you guys doing?
00:28:04Reggie's having a thing after work next week.
00:28:06Well, that could be fun.
00:28:07Are you guys here for the, uh, networking thing?
00:28:09Yeah.
00:28:10Yeah, it starts at nine, so we could just leave when I get it done with here.
00:28:12All right, I'll be ready.
00:28:14I'd like you to meet Jay Vine.
00:28:16He's a good friend.
00:28:18Nice to meet you, Jay.
00:28:19Pleasure, John.
00:28:20Jay's family owns a successful insurance company.
00:28:22Nice people.
00:28:24Well, anyway, I was telling Jay about your company, and he may have some work for you.
00:28:28That's awesome.
00:28:28Thanks.
00:28:29Yeah, we're putting together some programs, and I need to print up brochures and other
00:28:33sales collateral.
00:28:34You came to the right guy.
00:28:36Yeah, David speaks very highly of your work.
00:28:38Not only that, Jay, but John's a real mensch.
00:28:41And I think you two should exchange referrals as well.
00:28:43Sounds good.
00:28:44Listen, I gotta run out of here.
00:28:46Another event.
00:28:49Another one?
00:28:49Tonight?
00:28:50Gotta keep working it.
00:28:51Let me give you a business card, and we'll talk.
00:28:53Sure.
00:28:56Pleasure.
00:29:00Always ask for their business card as well.
00:29:02Oh, shit, I forgot.
00:29:03Don't worry, Bubba.
00:29:05It's just that people get busy sometimes, and they forget to call.
00:29:08If you don't hear from Jay within a few days, let me know, and I'll take care of it.
00:29:11Yeah?
00:29:12Thanks, David.
00:29:12No worries.
00:29:13I got lots of these events for you to attend.
00:29:17Honestly, thank you.
00:29:18You don't have to thank me.
00:29:20We're Mishpocha, right?
00:29:22Family, right?
00:29:23That's it.
00:29:24Thanks, Ben.
00:29:26I want you to do well, John.
00:29:27And it looks like you already landed an account tonight on your first try.
00:29:31You stick with me, boy chick.
00:29:33There's lots more to come.
00:29:42Hi.
00:29:44I'm Pierre Chantel.
00:29:46Hi, I'm John Mangano.
00:29:49Very nice to meet you.
00:29:51So, how often do you speed net?
00:29:54Actually, it's the first time.
00:30:00We're going to have to talk fast.
00:30:02Take a good look at me, John.
00:30:04Do you know why?
00:30:05Why?
00:30:05I am speed networking.
00:30:08And what exactly do you do?
00:30:09I coach people on how to best maximize their business efficiency.
00:30:14And I already know you can learn a lot from me.
00:30:17Sounds, um, interesting.
00:30:20How are you at maximizing your hours during the business day?
00:30:25Not bad, I guess.
00:30:26You just used the word bad.
00:30:30That's not good.
00:30:31You see, John, most people really don't understand that time actually does equate to money.
00:30:39Take emails, for example.
00:30:41When you first arrive at the beginning of your business day, how long does it take you to get through
00:30:45all of your business emails?
00:30:47I don't know.
00:30:48I never really thought about it, so...
00:30:50John.
00:30:52Never.
00:30:54You just used the word never.
00:30:58That probably means that you really never get through all of your emails, do you?
00:31:07What business are you in?
00:31:09I'm in the printing business, and what we do...
00:31:12Time to move on to the next networker, you see?
00:31:16You can learn from me.
00:31:18You need to learn how to more maximize your business time and efficiency.
00:31:24Learn from me.
00:31:26Penny?
00:31:34Julius.
00:31:36It's been centuries since we've seen each other.
00:31:39I think you have been mistaken for somebody else.
00:31:41My name is John.
00:31:43No.
00:31:44It's Julius.
00:31:45It's me.
00:31:47Tabitha.
00:31:48Excuse me?
00:31:50It's been centuries since we've seen each other.
00:31:53Literally.
00:31:54I'm not quite sure.
00:31:56I...
00:31:56Julius.
00:31:57I'm a psychic reader.
00:31:59You and I were lovers in a previous lifetime.
00:32:02Maybe it's a lifetime.
00:32:04Yes, about a thousand years ago.
00:32:08Don't you remember?
00:32:09We killed your wife with a poison dagger.
00:32:14There's going to come a time when you're going to be married.
00:32:16You're going to have a bunch of kids.
00:32:17You're going to have your pretty little white picket fence.
00:32:19Your little dog running around the yard.
00:32:21That's your future.
00:32:22E-mortgage.
00:32:24E-mortgage.
00:32:25E-mortgage.
00:32:28Hello, John.
00:32:31Didn't we just speak?
00:32:32I thought I'd give it another try.
00:32:34That's...
00:32:34That's ridiculous.
00:32:35I mean, how do you spend time talking in two minutes and then come back and speak to people again?
00:32:40Practice makes perfect.
00:32:41I got an idea.
00:32:44Why don't you spend more time managing your own time?
00:32:50If you could just learn to channel that aggression a little more efficiently, you might learn something.
00:32:56Penny.
00:33:04Do you believe that guy?
00:33:06He's a schmuck.
00:33:08And everybody knows it.
00:33:10That was unbelievable.
00:33:13What is with that chick he's with?
00:33:15Right.
00:33:17Penny.
00:33:18What do you think of that John?
00:33:20He's a putz.
00:33:21Hmm.
00:33:23You made me right.
00:33:25Do we have time for another event?
00:33:27It's ten and a half minutes to get to Madison on 15th.
00:33:30I think we can do it at nine.
00:33:32Let's go.
00:33:38What's going on, Pete?
00:33:39I have a buyer.
00:33:41For what?
00:33:43The building.
00:33:44Are you serious?
00:33:45I couldn't be more serious.
00:33:47Did Pop know about this?
00:33:48Yep.
00:33:49What did he say?
00:33:49He said to speak to him in three months.
00:33:51He wouldn't say anything else.
00:33:53Speak to him in three months.
00:33:54The buyer wants the building now, John.
00:33:56I told you, Pop gave me some time to come up with a plan.
00:34:00So lay off, Pete.
00:34:01Look, you and I both know that you'll never do it.
00:34:04Now you owe it to dad and the family to give it up.
00:34:06Look, I'm busy.
00:34:07Call me in three months.
00:34:09Damn it.
00:34:12You see, John, we go in and evaluate a person's portfolio.
00:34:16We see if their investments are sound, you know, whether they have the right allocations
00:34:20between stocks, bonds, mutual funds.
00:34:23And we see if we can help them make better choices.
00:34:28How are you?
00:34:30I'm fine.
00:34:31Do you network often, or?
00:34:33Is that what you say to everyone that's just next to you?
00:34:35Because it seems kind of sexual.
00:34:37No, no, no.
00:34:37Avertly, in a way.
00:34:38No, no.
00:34:39It's just like an ice-breaking thing.
00:34:40I'm good.
00:34:41But thank you.
00:34:42It's like an ice-breaking thing.
00:34:43Oh, okay.
00:34:44Hey, John Giacobbe, financial planner extraordinaire.
00:34:49I'm Jessica.
00:34:50John.
00:34:51Listen, hang in there.
00:34:52Just stay professional.
00:34:53Keep introducing yourself to people.
00:34:55It gets a lot easier with time.
00:34:57And how do you guys know each other?
00:34:59We work together.
00:35:00Oh, wow.
00:35:01What do you guys do?
00:35:02We're kindergarten teachers.
00:35:05What are you doing here?
00:35:06We're here to find husbands.
00:35:07Your shirt's unbuttoned.
00:35:08I don't know if it's broken.
00:35:09You might want to...
00:35:10No, no, it's not broken.
00:35:11It's like 90 degrees.
00:35:12And I've been here a long time.
00:35:15And I'm meeting with a lot of different people.
00:35:16Well, you see how this kind of looks.
00:35:18Like, your arm was, like, around me.
00:35:20Your legs are, like, you know, come and get it.
00:35:21Well, not really, because I catch you...
00:35:23And your shirt's, like, halfway down to China.
00:35:25Hi, I'm Nancy Perez, financial planner.
00:35:29You doing work?
00:35:30Um, something like that.
00:35:32Yeah.
00:35:32Have you ever been to any of these networking events before?
00:35:35I'm on the newer side.
00:35:36Yeah, they're kind of hard.
00:35:38It's hard to really meet people.
00:35:40Like, real people.
00:35:41What did you say you did again?
00:35:43Financial planner.
00:35:45Excuse me?
00:35:47Financial planner.
00:35:48Are you heading back to the bar?
00:35:49I can, um, walk with you.
00:35:51Are you hitting on me right now?
00:35:53You've got to be kidding me.
00:35:54I'm allowed to sit.
00:35:55I'm just as much allowed to sit as a man.
00:35:57No, no, no.
00:35:57No, I agree.
00:35:58This is a woman's world as well.
00:35:59I can sit anywhere I want.
00:36:01Financial planner.
00:36:02Financial planner.
00:36:03I am going to go to the bar.
00:36:05So if you want to walk with me, I guess you could.
00:36:08But that's kind of weird.
00:36:10It sounded like you said you were a financial planner.
00:36:13Yeah, financial planner.
00:36:19Hello.
00:36:20Hey, how are you?
00:36:21I'm even better now.
00:36:23Me too.
00:36:24How are you doing today?
00:36:25A lot better now.
00:36:28Have you had a rough day?
00:36:30You can say that again.
00:36:31I can make it all better for you.
00:36:34Really?
00:36:35Mm-hmm.
00:36:37How so?
00:36:38Oh, why don't you take me to a fancy hotel
00:36:41and let me tell you all about it?
00:36:42Do you have some cash on me?
00:36:45Yeah, I got credit cards.
00:36:47We could go somewhere.
00:36:48You're going to need cash.
00:36:51I get it.
00:36:53I get it.
00:36:56I'm okay.
00:36:58We could go on a date, though.
00:37:01I don't date guys.
00:37:07John.
00:37:09Yeah, Doug.
00:37:10I hope you're making the most of your time.
00:37:19Hey, networker.
00:37:20Hi.
00:37:20Anything new to report?
00:37:21Well, I got 20 business calls on my desk, all from financial planners.
00:37:26I just wish I had some finances from the plan, right?
00:37:28That bad?
00:37:29It gets worse.
00:37:30Oh, how so?
00:37:31Well, I went to this event the other day, and I knew I was in trouble.
00:37:34I had a Mac single or attached on my name tag, and the room was filled with men.
00:37:39Hey, listen.
00:37:41Do you want to come over to my place for dinner tomorrow night?
00:37:43I think you deserve a home-cooked meal after all the running around you've been doing.
00:37:47And you haven't seen Lisa in a while.
00:37:49Tomorrow sounds really good.
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:52See you later.
00:37:56So, Matt, your favorite subject.
00:37:58What's your least favorite subject?
00:37:59That would have to be social studies.
00:38:02Why is that?
00:38:03Because with all his technological advances, society is still so prehistoric in so many ways.
00:38:09It bores me.
00:38:12I've got something to show you.
00:38:14What's this?
00:38:15I got it in school.
00:38:16This man came in and was talking about 3D printing.
00:38:20I'm not sure how it works, but they can make neat stuff like this.
00:38:24I want you to have it.
00:38:25No, no.
00:38:26At least I can't.
00:38:27No, it's a present.
00:38:28Thanks, sweetie.
00:38:30Are you done with your homework?
00:38:33Mom, can I do it later?
00:38:34No, do it now while I finish preparing dinner.
00:38:37Okay.
00:38:43Nice one, Mom.
00:38:44Get out of here.
00:38:50Hey, Nicole.
00:38:51Why don't you let me help you finish making dinner?
00:38:53Oh, right.
00:38:54I forgot.
00:38:55You're a self-proclaimed chef, huh?
00:38:57Ha, ha, ha.
00:38:58Let me in there.
00:39:01Knock yourself out.
00:39:02Mac and cheese.
00:39:03Yummy.
00:39:08So a piece of string walks in a bar.
00:39:10And he goes up to the bartender.
00:39:11He says, bartender, give me a drink.
00:39:13And the bartender says, I can't serve you.
00:39:14You're a string.
00:39:16String leaves all pissed off.
00:39:17Messes his hair.
00:39:18Walks back in.
00:39:19He goes, bartender, give me a drink.
00:39:22He goes, aren't you that string I just threw out of you?
00:39:23He goes, no, I'm afraid not.
00:39:25Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:39:27So anyway, I couldn't even understand him.
00:39:33That's too much.
00:39:34How did it turn out?
00:39:35I just walked away.
00:39:37Oh, you have to keep trying.
00:39:40I tell you, I'm having a tough time with this networking thing.
00:39:43I'm not gliding through like I usually do.
00:39:46Oh, you're out of your comfort zone.
00:39:47What do you mean?
00:39:47I've seen you with clients, kidding around, being totally comfortable.
00:39:52You know, everybody loves you.
00:39:54But those are the clients that you know.
00:39:56You know, when you have to present yourself to strangers, it's kind of a different story.
00:40:01Yeah, I guess so.
00:40:02You're trying. That counts.
00:40:05I predict you're going to be a grand success, John.
00:40:08Such grand talk from such a young lady.
00:40:10I'm not as young as you think.
00:40:13Alright, enough out of you, Einstein.
00:40:15Come on, let's clean up these dishes, okay?
00:40:17Such menial work.
00:40:19Tell you what, I'll help you, Mother.
00:40:20Why don't you go on the computer and find out the solution to global warming or something?
00:40:27I just want to tell you that, Al.
00:40:29I had a really, really, really good time tonight.
00:40:33Me too. And we should do this again.
00:40:35Yeah. And that Lisa, she's special.
00:40:38I know. She is my whole world.
00:40:40It's just kind of hard to keep up with her, you know, that mind that's just always going.
00:40:44Yeah, I can see that.
00:40:45But she's something.
00:40:48Thanks.
00:40:52I'm going to go.
00:40:55Eric!
00:40:56What are you doing here?
00:40:58I wanted to treat my niece to some ice cream.
00:41:00Yum!
00:41:01Eric, it's late.
00:41:03Oh, come on, a little ice cream never hurt anybody.
00:41:04Oh, John!
00:41:05Hey, how are you?
00:41:06I'm good.
00:41:07Good to see you.
00:41:08Good.
00:41:09Oh, excellent.
00:41:11Um, Nicole, this is Miriam.
00:41:14Hi, Miriam.
00:41:15Hi, nice to meet you.
00:41:17John, do you remember Miriam?
00:41:19Hey, Miriam.
00:41:19Mr. Networker.
00:41:22Hey, how are you?
00:41:24Oh, hunky-dory, John.
00:41:25Hunky-dory.
00:41:26Hunky-dory.
00:41:27Better get this in before it melts.
00:41:28Yeah, come on in.
00:41:29Lisa?
00:41:32So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?
00:41:35I guess.
00:41:38We should do this again.
00:41:39Wait, I said that already.
00:41:40Um, maybe, um, you can come over and cook for me again?
00:41:44That was pretty great.
00:41:46I'm gonna go.
00:41:47Okay.
00:41:48Can I ask you a question?
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:50Are they serial killers?
00:41:52I'll see you later.
00:41:53Bye.
00:41:53Bye.
00:41:58How long have you been standing there?
00:42:00Long enough.
00:42:02I'm telling you, John, this is the opportunity we've been waiting for.
00:42:05Where are these guys home again?
00:42:07Mr. Chang operates from here in the U.S.
00:42:09He owns a manufacturing company in China.
00:42:11Sustainable products, placed in bowls, things like that, all made from bamboo.
00:42:14And he wants to print the packaging in the U.S.
00:42:17Why?
00:42:18It'll save him a ton of money on shipping costs.
00:42:20You see, if he can ship the merchandise without the packaging, he can fit a third more pallet.
00:42:24I know it sounds complicated, but the fact of the matter is, he wants to form a packaging company here
00:42:29in the U.S.
00:42:30Now, you can handle the package outsourcing and printing, and I can handle the bookkeeping.
00:42:34He wants to invest $10 million in the venture.
00:42:37$10 million?
00:42:37That's a lot of yen.
00:42:40That's Japanese money.
00:42:42Whatever, man.
00:42:42That's a lot of dough.
00:42:43When's he getting here?
00:42:44He'll be here any minute.
00:42:46This is the score you need, John.
00:42:50And it'll ease up the constant Tsuris I live with trying to make a living every day.
00:42:55I thought you did all right in business.
00:42:59I do okay, John.
00:43:01But just that.
00:43:06My father.
00:43:08He had big plans for me.
00:43:10He was a very successful Garmento.
00:43:13Garmento?
00:43:13What is that?
00:43:14Yiddish?
00:43:15No.
00:43:16Garmento.
00:43:16The garment industry.
00:43:18He did very well in his day.
00:43:20He got out just before everything went overseas.
00:43:25He had big plans for me, John.
00:43:28Become a doctor.
00:43:30Don't schlep schmatas all over the city like I did for a living.
00:43:33Everybody needs a doctor.
00:43:37You still doing all right, no?
00:43:40Not like he wanted.
00:43:45And now he's gone.
00:43:50I just wanted to be proud of me.
00:43:53And if we land this account, and we'll be set, John, I promise you.
00:43:59Let's do it.
00:44:03Oh, um...
00:44:04Remember, when you hand him your business card, use both hands.
00:44:08Both hands?
00:44:09Just the way they do it in China.
00:44:13Just write this way, please.
00:44:15Gentlemen, your server will be with you shortly.
00:44:18Mr. Chang, good to see you again.
00:44:20The pleasure is all mine.
00:44:21This is John Mangano.
00:44:22Pleasure.
00:44:23Pleasure.
00:44:23Please, take a seat.
00:44:42Mr. Chang, I was telling John about your business plan, and John's on board.
00:44:47Well, yes, that's just fine.
00:44:49There are many details to work out, but David tells me you have a nice operation.
00:44:54And I like the fact that it's a family business.
00:44:57We prize family in China, John.
00:45:00Being Italian, we prize family as well.
00:45:03So you say you're Italian?
00:45:04I am.
00:45:05My grandparents are both from Sicily.
00:45:07Oh, excellent, excellent.
00:45:09The Italians know how to eat well, just like the Chinese.
00:45:13We have two of the most beloved cuisines in the world, after all.
00:45:17Well, it's better than the food I grew up on.
00:45:19My parents thought I was a nervous kid because I always had spielkes.
00:45:22But it turned out to be the chicken fat.
00:45:25I also cook a lot of Chinese dishes.
00:45:28Oh, so you cook?
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:31Excellent.
00:45:32And you cook Italian, I presume?
00:45:34I do.
00:45:36I have a wonderful idea.
00:45:38I have two colleagues arriving from China tomorrow.
00:45:41Would you be so kind as to host a dinner party at my home this weekend?
00:45:46I have a wonderful kitchen, and I'm sure they have never had home-cooked Italian food.
00:45:52It would certainly be a special treat for all of us.
00:45:57Absolutely.
00:45:58Good.
00:45:58That's great.
00:46:00Mr. Chang, would you like to talk a little bit about your business plan?
00:46:03Not now.
00:46:04I think it is best that we discuss these things after we have had our dinner party first.
00:46:08We believe in making friends first.
00:46:11Then business follows naturally.
00:46:14Of course.
00:46:17Hello, gentlemen.
00:46:18Can I start you guys with something to drink?
00:46:23Oh, Johnny boy.
00:46:28He had a heart attack.
00:46:30Your daddy had a heart attack.
00:46:32Where is he, Ma?
00:46:32No.
00:46:33He's in his room.
00:46:34He's stable.
00:46:34What do you mean?
00:46:36When did this happen?
00:46:36This morning.
00:46:38Why didn't you call me?
00:46:39Because I had it covered, John.
00:46:42Why is he in his bed?
00:46:44Because it's gotta rest.
00:46:46He had a heart attack, genius.
00:46:48John, can I speak to you for a second?
00:46:52He'll be okay.
00:46:53Yeah, I know.
00:46:53I know.
00:46:55I told you that this would happen.
00:46:58He was fine.
00:46:58He wasn't fine.
00:46:59There was too much pressure with the damn business.
00:47:01He's too old for this, John.
00:47:02He never complains.
00:47:04I will never complain.
00:47:05You know that.
00:47:06Alright, look.
00:47:07Enough is enough.
00:47:08You have to talk to him and tell him you're willing to give it up.
00:47:10He won't do it unless you talk to him.
00:47:12Okay, okay.
00:47:13I'll do it as long as he's alright.
00:47:15I just need to see him.
00:47:18Hey, Ma.
00:47:20Can I see him?
00:47:22What are we gonna do?
00:47:23What am I gonna do?
00:47:25He's gonna be alright, Mom.
00:47:29Do not wake him up if he's sleeping.
00:47:53John, please don't look at me like you're walking up to my coffin.
00:47:57I'm fine.
00:47:59If I hadn't known, I would have been here.
00:48:03Don't worry about it.
00:48:04They're making a big deal out of nothing.
00:48:05Nothing.
00:48:06Dad, you had a heart attack.
00:48:09A mild one.
00:48:11Don't worry.
00:48:12They let me out of the hospital.
00:48:13I'm fine.
00:48:15This is my fault.
00:48:17Why did I know you would say that?
00:48:20Don't be stupid.
00:48:21It's nobody's fault.
00:48:23Dad, it's my fault.
00:48:24Look, why don't we just close shop?
00:48:26I'll get a job.
00:48:27You sell the business.
00:48:29You retire.
00:48:30No.
00:48:31Your three months aren't up yet.
00:48:35What?
00:48:36I gave you three months to come up with a business plan.
00:48:40And I'm holding you tot.
00:48:42But, Dad...
00:48:43What are you gonna do?
00:48:44You're gonna argue with me?
00:48:45I just had a heart attack, for Christ's sake.
00:48:48Alright, but...
00:48:49You stay home.
00:48:51Damn right I am.
00:48:53Look, I...
00:48:54I got this deal pending.
00:48:56They could change everything for us.
00:48:58What deal?
00:48:59It's this...
00:49:00This Chinese thing.
00:49:07Shit!
00:49:08What?
00:49:10I'm supposed to host an Italian dinner at Mr. Chang's house.
00:49:14I'll cancel it.
00:49:16Look, I don't know Mr. Chang from a hole in the wall, but you're gonna live up to your commitment.
00:49:20I don't wanna be with you.
00:49:22No.
00:49:23You entertain your client, you do what you gotta do.
00:49:26And please, do me a favor.
00:49:27I'll take your mother with you to help.
00:49:31You know she's gonna wanna be with you.
00:49:33I'll insist.
00:49:35Look, you'll be doing me a favor.
00:49:37Alright?
00:49:37She's already driving me crazy with this thing.
00:49:40It'll keep her busy and I'll be able to get some rest.
00:49:44Thanks, Dad.
00:49:46Alright.
00:49:47I don't wanna tell everybody they can come in, but please tell them to be quick.
00:49:50You know, I wanna get some rest.
00:49:53I won't let you down.
00:49:55I promise you, I'll...
00:49:57I'm not gonna let you down.
00:50:05I'm counting on you, Johnny.
00:50:13Let me fry those eggplants.
00:50:15Later, Mom.
00:50:16I can't find a fork.
00:50:18Let me use these chopsticks.
00:50:20I can never use those things to save my life.
00:50:23Whenever I try everything lands in my lap.
00:50:26Guys, we're falling behind.
00:50:28Let's go!
00:50:28Chop, chop, chop!
00:50:28Calm down, honey.
00:50:30Everything's gonna be alright.
00:50:31You know, I'm proud of you.
00:50:33You're proud of me.
00:50:34I've been a screw-up my whole life.
00:50:35You're not a screw-up.
00:50:38Listen, I don't say much when it comes to the business.
00:50:40God knows your father says enough.
00:50:42But I know you can do this.
00:50:44No one knows a person like his mother.
00:50:47I have faith in you.
00:50:50Thanks, Mom.
00:50:51Now I'm really nervous.
00:50:52So, how is everything going?
00:50:55Fine, Mr. Chang, fine.
00:50:56Excellent, excellent.
00:50:58I will be in the living room reviewing some documents.
00:51:00Please call if you require anything.
00:51:02Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Chang.
00:51:05It seems like a nice man.
00:51:07How do we get into this again?
00:51:09I know, Bubba.
00:51:10Look, my hands are shaking.
00:51:14What do you want me to do with these mushrooms?
00:51:16Oh, damn.
00:51:18Put the breadcrumb mixture in and take care of that.
00:51:21You sure I can't help?
00:51:23You know what, Mom?
00:51:23Put the antipas on the plate.
00:51:26Alright, where's the stuff?
00:51:27Find the fridge.
00:51:30I still don't see why we have to feed them.
00:51:34Mr. Chang's the guy who's going to change everything.
00:51:37Everything for us.
00:51:38This is what he wants.
00:51:40Sorry.
00:51:42Boy, I'm a wreck.
00:51:44I'll explain later, Mom.
00:51:45I've got to focus.
00:51:46Put the beside you in the oven.
00:51:47Give me that basil, please.
00:51:50Thanks.
00:51:54Look at you, John.
00:51:57Handling the pressure like a real pro.
00:52:00You give me such nachas.
00:52:03Nachas?
00:52:04Nachas means he's proud.
00:52:05Thank you, but I don't feel like such a pro.
00:52:07Mmm, nachas.
00:52:08I like that.
00:52:11And remember, no talking about business tonight.
00:52:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
00:52:16Friends first.
00:52:18Guess it's an Asian thing.
00:52:19Oh, you must know about that, David.
00:52:22You know, they never taught that at the yeshiva.
00:52:25And no talking about pops.
00:52:26I don't want to show weakness in the business.
00:52:29Alright.
00:52:30I just know that everything is going to change for us
00:52:32after tonight.
00:52:34Oy.
00:52:34From Yom Ha'at, the gods are yours.
00:52:36L'chaim.
00:52:49They're yours.
00:52:50They're yours.
00:52:51They're yours.
00:52:52They're yours.
00:52:54They're yours.
00:52:55They're yours.
00:53:01John, everything looks so delicious.
00:53:04Mrs. Mangano, you certainly have a wonderful son.
00:53:08Oh, yes, I know.
00:53:11He's been a wonderful comfort to me during my time of need.
00:53:14Ma.
00:53:15No.
00:53:17Is everything okay, Mrs. Mangano?
00:53:21My husband had a heart attack, okay?
00:53:23Oh, my.
00:53:23John, if this was a bad time...
00:53:25No, no, no.
00:53:26He's going to be fine.
00:53:29He's retiring anyway.
00:53:32Your father's retiring from the firm?
00:53:35No, no.
00:53:35He's just taking a leave of absence.
00:53:37He'll be back.
00:53:40He's eating.
00:53:41He's eating.
00:53:42He's eating.
00:53:42He's eating.
00:53:43Everyone, please.
00:53:44Please, eat.
00:53:48I don't think they speak English that well, do they?
00:53:51Oh, a meatball.
00:53:52You like meatballs, huh?
00:54:05Mr. Chin, would you like more wine?
00:54:09More wine?
00:54:10More wine?
00:54:11Would you like more wine?
00:54:13David?
00:54:14Yeah?
00:54:14Yeah, David?
00:54:15David?
00:54:16David?
00:54:16Pour him some more wine, please.
00:54:21Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks.
00:54:23I guess if you talk loud enough, they understand you.
00:54:27Come on, bye.
00:54:28Chin, chin, for Mr. Chin.
00:54:31Cheers.
00:54:33Come on, bye.
00:54:34Bye-bye.
00:54:44English.
00:54:45English.
00:54:47What's your language?
00:54:49Look, just because I'm Asian, doesn't mean I speak Chinese.
00:54:55If you like me asking you, if you like to dance, and you're not Korean, I wouldn't say that.
00:55:03And I wouldn't say, would I?
00:55:08Oops.
00:55:09Yes.
00:55:10Sorry.
00:55:15Anyone want more lasagna?
00:55:21Johnny, boy, take that wine away from him, would you?
00:55:26You can leave it by me.
00:55:29Where's Mr. Chang?
00:55:30I don't know.
00:55:31He should have been here a half hour ago.
00:55:35Hi, I'm Mary Ming.
00:55:37I represent Mr. Chang.
00:55:39John Mangano is my associate, David Finkelstein.
00:55:41Please have a seat.
00:55:42That's not necessary.
00:55:43I come to give Mr. Finkelstein non-disclosure agreement back.
00:55:48Wait, excuse me?
00:55:50Mr. Chang no longer interested to do business with you.
00:55:55Goodbye.
00:55:55Wait, wait, wait.
00:55:56I don't understand.
00:55:58Where's Mr. Chang?
00:55:59Mr. Chang.
00:56:01Busy.
00:56:02Don't call him.
00:56:03I don't understand what's going on.
00:56:05A Korean at dinner party make big insult to Mr. Chang's partner, Mr. Lee.
00:56:11What happened?
00:56:12He called Mr. Lee, gunman.
00:56:16What does that mean?
00:56:17That mean, asshole.
00:56:20Now, wait a minute.
00:56:21I remember.
00:56:21I said Gangnam style.
00:56:24It's a dance.
00:56:25You the Korean who make big insult?
00:56:29I'm sure there's a misunderstanding.
00:56:30I'm sure it could work something out.
00:56:33Mr. Lee not asshole.
00:56:35This Korean?
00:56:37Asshole.
00:56:38I'm not Korean.
00:56:39I'm Jewish.
00:56:40Jewish putz asshole.
00:56:46What did you do?
00:56:48I didn't do anything.
00:56:50Why would you even say Gangnam style for God's sakes?
00:56:52Are you crazy?
00:56:54You were drinking.
00:56:56A few sips.
00:56:57You were hammered.
00:56:58Okay.
00:57:00John, just calm down.
00:57:03Don't tell me to calm down.
00:57:05You screwed up.
00:57:06Now we're all screwed.
00:57:12I'm not Korean.
00:57:15What's that?
00:57:16Swiss.
00:57:22Can you believe this guy?
00:57:24Yo.
00:57:25Go get the ketchup.
00:57:29Come on.
00:57:31Screw you.
00:57:32No, no, no.
00:57:34Come on, man.
00:57:35This guy is out of control.
00:57:36No, no, no, no.
00:57:39Oh, damn it, man.
00:57:44Where were you?
00:57:45Where have you been?
00:57:46It's been four days and not a word?
00:57:48I took some time off.
00:57:50They were right about you.
00:57:52Who?
00:57:52Everybody that knows you.
00:57:54You're an irresponsible child.
00:57:56You'll never change.
00:57:57Leave me alone.
00:57:58Don't you know how many people are counting on you?
00:58:01Well, I guess they're gonna have to fend for themselves now, won't they?
00:58:04What about me?
00:58:05Are you even thinking about me?
00:58:07I need this job.
00:58:08I need to take care of my daughter.
00:58:10Is that what I was to you?
00:58:11Just a job?
00:58:12Don't worry, babe.
00:58:13I'll write you a letter of recommendation.
00:58:14You'll be just fine.
00:58:15You're so rude.
00:58:17You're completely missing my point.
00:58:19You're just pissed
00:58:20because you lost the security with me
00:58:22just like Lisa's father.
00:58:25You don't know anything about Lisa's father.
00:58:26You don't know crap.
00:58:27You're so self-absorbed you can't even see reality.
00:58:31What are you talking about?
00:58:32You want to know what happened to Lisa's father?
00:58:34He's standing right in front of me.
00:58:37The same irresponsible piece of crap he always was.
00:58:45How do you do this?
00:58:46And the whole reason I left
00:58:47was because I knew that you could never take responsibility for anything.
00:58:51How would you lie to me?
00:58:54It doesn't feel so good, does it?
00:59:16How would you lie to me?
00:59:18Where do you think he is, Mom?
00:59:22I don't know, but, you know, I think he's probably okay, sweetheart, so just don't worry.
00:59:28Maybe we should call him again.
00:59:30I don't think it's going to do much good.
00:59:32It must be something we could do.
00:59:34Listen, hun, we need to stop worrying about John, okay?
00:59:40This is his pattern.
00:59:41He does it all the time.
00:59:43You and I need to take care of ourselves.
00:59:47I'm sorry.
00:59:51I'm sorry, baby.
00:59:55I thought it was okay.
01:00:01Nicole, any word on the Barton invoice yet?
01:00:03No, not yet.
01:00:04What the hell is wrong with these people?
01:00:06Doesn't anyone pay their bills anymore?
01:00:08I'll get in touch with them.
01:00:09Charles, are you really up for this?
01:00:11I mean, you should probably be just resting, you know?
01:00:14Well, what choice will I have?
01:00:15I can't count on John.
01:00:16Somebody's got to run the show.
01:00:17No word from him?
01:00:18Yeah, he sent a text about two weeks ago to his mother saying he's all right.
01:00:22Haven't gotten a phone call since.
01:00:24I'm sorry.
01:00:26I guess at a certain point, people aren't who they are.
01:00:29Let me know what happens with Barton and get Pete on the phone.
01:00:33Tell him I'm ready to talk about the real estate deal.
01:00:36Okay, I will.
01:00:37Take care of yourself.
01:00:39Terrence Leary, he's a very distinguished man.
01:00:42He's running a chain supply software business, and he needs a larger building for his operation.
01:00:47I think we'll get our price.
01:00:49Just, Dad, leave a little bit of wiggle room for negotiation, please.
01:00:54I'll tell you right now, Pete, I've got very little room for wiggle.
01:00:59Let's go get a cup of coffee.
01:01:00We'll meet the guy up for now.
01:01:06What are you guys doing here on a Saturday?
01:01:08John!
01:01:10Asa.
01:01:11Are you kidding me?
01:01:12You disappear again, and you ask me what I'm doing here on a Saturday?
01:01:15What are you doing here on a Saturday?
01:01:17Come in when nobody else is here so you can clean out your desk or something?
01:01:20Calm down.
01:01:21I know everybody's upset with me.
01:01:22Upset?
01:01:23Where were you this time?
01:01:24A lot of places.
01:01:25What are you doing with my desk?
01:01:26I know it's messy.
01:01:27I'm looking for a missing invoice, but you know what?
01:01:30It actually doesn't even matter because your dad's selling the building, and the guy's
01:01:33going to be here at one o'clock.
01:01:35I met your dad.
01:01:36He's super nice.
01:01:37He's a real pussycat.
01:01:37What?
01:01:38Your dad wanted me to be here to help him out this afternoon.
01:01:41Where is he?
01:01:42He went out with Peter to get coffee.
01:01:45Can I talk to you for a minute?
01:01:47Alone?
01:01:49Hey, Lisa, can you take your book maybe and go read in the hall for a bit?
01:01:53Sure.
01:01:54Get rid of the kid.
01:02:00Look, for the record, I want to tell you you did the right thing, but things are going
01:02:04to change for the better.
01:02:06Did you tell Lisa yet?
01:02:08No, not yet.
01:02:09Good.
01:02:10I want to talk to her.
01:02:13We'll see.
01:02:15I had to go find him.
01:02:16I'll be back.
01:02:23At least $150,000 we'll get if they put a 10% down, Peter.
01:02:28Oh, look who it is.
01:02:30The prodigal son returns.
01:02:31Where you been, John?
01:02:33Everybody's been worried about you.
01:02:34I'll get into that later, Dad.
01:02:36You're selling the building?
01:02:37Yeah.
01:02:38What choice will I have?
01:02:39You checked out.
01:02:39Check your house.
01:02:41I was doing research.
01:02:42What's her name?
01:02:43Shut up, Pete.
01:02:45Johnny, there's no time for research.
01:02:47I run out of options.
01:02:48I know you're mad, but I think you don't like what I have to say.
01:02:51Don't listen to him, Pop.
01:02:52He's up to something.
01:02:53I am up to something.
01:02:54The buyer's coming at one, right?
01:02:55Yeah.
01:02:56Why are you wasting our time?
01:02:58Meet me in the conference room in 15 minutes.
01:03:00If you don't like what I have to say, sell the building.
01:03:02I'll understand.
01:03:03I don't believe this guy.
01:03:05Come on.
01:03:06All right, John.
01:03:07I'll give you that.
01:03:08But this better be good.
01:03:16First of all, Dad, I'd like to take the time out for thank you if you listen to what I
01:03:19have to say.
01:03:20All right, let's see what you got, John.
01:03:22What is this about?
01:03:23Please.
01:03:24No interruptions until I'm done, okay?
01:03:28Well, just make it quick because the buyer is going to be here in 15 minutes.
01:03:32We all know elite printing is losing money, and I take full responsibility for that.
01:03:39Three months ago, you challenged me to come up with a plan, and at first I didn't think I could
01:03:43do it until Nicole came into the picture.
01:03:48Nicole, Nicole?
01:03:49Yes, Pete, Nicole.
01:03:50Now, please, don't interrupt.
01:03:53I guess someone woke up on the wrong side of whose bed was it this time, John?
01:03:56It was Nicole's bed?
01:03:57Pete, let John talk.
01:04:02Nicole suggested networking, and I was mortified at the idea.
01:04:06I even showed up to the first meeting with a hangover, but I did meet this master networker, David Finkelstein.
01:04:13Now, this networking thing was good.
01:04:15It was a little tough at times, I'm not going to lie.
01:04:16I mean, I got some leads, but with all my experience and all my adult life, the one person that
01:04:24helped us out was Lisa.
01:04:27Lisa?
01:04:28You mean Nicole's Lisa?
01:04:29Yes, yes, Dad.
01:04:30She's a brilliant kid, and she took interest in 3-D printing, and she handed me this.
01:04:45Uh, this is a toy.
01:04:47Give it to me, Pete.
01:04:49Look, the difference between regular printing and 3-D printing.
01:04:53Regular printing is ink and paper.
01:04:563-D printing is metal and plastic.
01:04:59You can put it in any shape and outsource it to any company.
01:05:04That sounds good.
01:05:06Well, I think we heard enough.
01:05:10Not so fast, Pete.
01:05:14Continue, John.
01:05:16Look, I'm not saying to change the structure of the printing company.
01:05:19I'm just saying this is something we need to get into now, Dad.
01:05:24Wow.
01:05:25Wow.
01:05:25A hexagon?
01:05:26Wow.
01:05:26This is brilliant, John.
01:05:28This is really brilliant.
01:05:31Look, for a smart guy, you're being really short-sighted, and that's not really responsible, is it, Pete?
01:05:36We get to outsource this for a minimum price.
01:05:38We need to get into this today.
01:05:41How much is this thing going to cost?
01:05:44$200,000.
01:05:44Well, there we go.
01:05:47Boom.
01:05:48There it is.
01:05:50Quiet, Pete.
01:05:54I'm very impressed by what you said, John.
01:05:57Come into my office, and we'll talk about it.
01:06:01What about the buyer?
01:06:02Look, I'm not ready for that yet, Pete.
01:06:05You're just going to let this opportunity walk away?
01:06:07Come on, Dad, it's $200,000.
01:06:09We don't even have...
01:06:11I love you dearly, son, but let me give you some fatherly advice.
01:06:16Keep that mouth to your shut every once in a while, okay?
01:06:21Meet me in my office.
01:06:35Dad, take your time.
01:06:37Think about it.
01:06:39I don't have to, son.
01:06:41You have my full support.
01:06:44I have been putting a little money away for a rainy day.
01:06:48I can't tell you what this means to me.
01:06:50You don't have to.
01:06:52Let me let you in on a little known secret about me.
01:06:55I was quite the partier when I was young.
01:06:58Get out of here.
01:06:59You?
01:07:00You know what I mean?
01:07:02But that all changed when I met your mother, and we decided to have a life together.
01:07:07Me and my father had been telling me all along that was the way to go.
01:07:10I guess I finally listened.
01:07:13After that, I got myself a job in a printing company.
01:07:16And when I was ready, your grandfather lent me the money for this business.
01:07:21So you see, the apple didn't fall that far from the tree.
01:07:25I mean, only in your case it fell a little bit further.
01:07:29You came through for me, and I'm proud of you.
01:07:33Thanks, Dad.
01:07:38Hey.
01:07:39Hey, what's up?
01:07:40I had a thought.
01:07:42Ooh, be careful.
01:07:42It's a lonely place up there.
01:07:44Wise ass.
01:07:46I was thinking maybe we should go to dinner and have a proper date.
01:07:49Proper date?
01:07:50Sounds interesting.
01:07:52Let me think about it.
01:07:53What?
01:07:54What took you so long?
01:07:56You know, maybe having to grow up the last four months kept me preoccupied.
01:08:00Poor baby.
01:08:01I'll go out with you.
01:08:03Hey, listen.
01:08:04I really appreciate you taking it slow with Lisa.
01:08:08Well, I'll tell you what.
01:08:09That kid's on to me.
01:08:11Yeah, just the same.
01:08:12You know, it's really good that we let her find out when it's the right time.
01:08:16Deal.
01:08:17Hey, check it out.
01:08:18I found this really cool thing.
01:08:19Look at this.
01:08:20Wow, that's really interesting.
01:08:23Oh, really?
01:08:24Come look.
01:08:24You'rehores.
01:08:25Bye.
01:08:31Bye.
01:08:36Bye.
01:08:38Bye.
01:08:40Bye.
01:08:41Bye.
01:08:42Bye.
01:08:43Bye.
01:08:44Bye.
01:08:45Bye.
01:08:47Bye.
