00:00Speak to an agent.
00:03No. Speak. To. An. Agent.
00:07Not a computer. A person. A human being.
00:12Are you a person? Are you a person?
00:19You don't fool me. You're not a person. Be gone, demon.
00:32Hey. Hey.
00:36Alyssa. Um, I'm here.
00:41Me too. Here we are.
00:47Yep. Yep.
00:54Good morning. It wasn't until a demon got in my phone.
01:00Hey, is your restaurant management class still doing that unit on kick-butt ideas?
01:04Ah, you mean innovative strategies. Yes.
01:07You know, I think people would rather go to a class called kick-butt ideas.
01:13Anyway, you're gonna wanna go in there and brag about your sister.
01:18I can start by telling them how modest she is.
01:22I already brag about you. I say we are an unbeatable team.
01:26Well, our team just notched another win.
01:28Yay, team!
01:31What did we do?
01:32I talked to the bike shop next door and they're going to lease our upstairs storage room that we never
01:38use.
01:40Wow.
01:42Well, that's a really lame wow.
01:45I'm talking about an additional five hundred dollars a month and we don't have to spend a penny.
01:50Let's ride up the lease.
01:53No.
01:56I'm sorry, did you just tell me no?
02:00Yes.
02:00I'm sorry, did you just tell me no?
02:03Wow.
02:06Sometimes it feels like a big old fight
02:10to get through the day and sleep on through the night
02:14But here you'll find a place that'll surely lift your spirits
02:19You belong in Hat Beach Place
02:25Okay, I would like to expand upon this no.
02:29Specifically, what the heck are you talking about?
02:34Since I started my class, I've been coming up with ideas for the tavern
02:37And my favorite one is for the upstairs storage room.
02:40I want to contribute to our success.
02:43Success?
02:44Like in an additional five hundred dollars a month success?
02:48Bobby, I respect your ideas.
02:50I always do.
02:51But I want to present my own because I know that you respect me.
02:55Absolutely.
02:56What's your idea?
02:58In class, they taught us to present on offense, not on defense.
03:02Is it a football class?
03:05Ha ha.
03:06I just mean I want to do it properly.
03:09Okay, fair enough.
03:10When would you like to present properly?
03:13How about tomorrow morning?
03:14I'll put it in my book.
03:16Great.
03:17Actually, I don't have a book.
03:18I'll just remember it.
03:23Hey, Steve.
03:25What's that?
03:26Training equipment for G.I. Joe?
03:33Hilarious.
03:34It's called hook and ring.
03:36Oh, cool.
03:37How do you play?
03:38You hook the ring.
03:42Anyway, Takoda brought it from his house for the customers.
03:45He says it requires a lot of patience to win, so you and I are disqualified.
03:50Are you kidding?
03:51I am the queen of games.
03:53Sometimes when I would play hide-and-seek with my mom,
03:55she couldn't find me all day.
04:00You're such a good player.
04:03Proud of you.
04:06So, you want to play?
04:08I'll pass.
04:16Is there a chicken on the loose?
04:18You think that bothers me?
04:19I went to an old boy's school, and they could find me.
04:25I'm not doing it.
04:27Takoda warned me I might get obsessed because I'm, you know, me.
04:32Yeah, but I'm not.
04:33I'm, you know, me.
04:36I wouldn't do that if I were you, Gabby.
04:38That ring is impossible to get on the hook.
04:41It was making my kids nuts that they couldn't beat it.
04:44Yeah, well, when you go home tonight, you can tell them that Aunt Gabby got their revenge.
04:48If you say so.
04:50You want to watch me win?
04:51I'd rather play hide-and-seek.
04:58Hey, I'm just making sure I have everything for the pitch.
05:02I know it's something you forgot.
05:03Tetanus shots.
05:06You know, most people have junk drawers.
05:08Daddy had a crap room.
05:10I get it.
05:11What you see is a dingy storeroom, but I need you to put all that out of your mind.
05:17Maybe it would help if you closed your eyes.
05:20And let the spiders crawl into my hair?
05:23I don't think so.
05:26Can you hear it?
05:27Hear what?
05:28It's passing by word of mouth.
05:30It's popping up on social media.
05:32Mysterious flyers appear on the university campus.
05:35Everybody's talking about it.
05:36Talking about what?
05:37The hottest, newest nighttime entertainment hotspot in town.
05:41The Knoxville sisters' secret speakeasy.
05:49A speakeasy?
05:52Your coolest, newest idea is a bar from the 1920s?
05:57Maybe Babe Ruth will stop by.
06:00This idea, the modern speakeasy, is one of the hottest nationwide trends in the hospitality business.
06:07I don't know about that.
06:09I do, and I can back it up with tons of research.
06:12People are interested in immersive experiences, in nostalgia, in being part of something exclusive.
06:20You and I are going to tap into that market.
06:23Isabella, it would cost a bundle to gussy this place up enough to make it into a bar.
06:28No, gussying.
06:29That's the beauty of this space.
06:31There are speakeasies around the country that spend a fortune to look exactly like this.
06:37Dara, be gone, demon!
06:42Buddy, relax.
06:44I did that, and it was just with a few smart bulbs that I bought.
06:48If we had a full lighting scheme in here, decent sound system, I mean, we're practically ready to go.
06:53So there would be money we'd have to put into it.
06:56Well, yes. Electrical upgrades, some furnishings, the lighting and sound system I mentioned.
07:03Spending money with no guaranteed return, boy, that sounds a little risky.
07:07Every idea comes with risk, Bobby.
07:09Not renting to the bike shop.
07:11The only thing risky about that is having to see those weird dudes in their bike shorts.
07:18I really believe in this idea.
07:20I know you do, hon. And you've done a heck of a job explaining it.
07:23I just don't think it's something we can do right now.
07:27What are you saying?
07:28I'm saying it's a no.
07:30But you can't say that.
07:33I can't? I think I just did.
07:36I own 50% of the tavern, and I say yes.
07:40Well, my 50% says no.
07:44So, what do we do now?
07:47I don't know.
07:48I guess one of us has to die.
07:52Be gone, demon!
07:58No whammy, no whammy, no whammy.
08:02Oh!
08:03Damn-a-wham-stinking-wham-dammit!
08:06Excuse me.
08:07I ordered beer a while ago, and I'm still waiting?
08:10Yeah.
08:11Well, I wanted to marry Sting.
08:12But guess what?
08:13I'm also still waiting.
08:17Gabby, this is nuts.
08:19I know, right?
08:20I mean, it's a tiny hook.
08:21It shouldn't be this hard.
08:23No, I'm talking about this is nuts.
08:26Look, I just need to get it once, okay?
08:29I can't quit as a loser.
08:31Besides, I've only been doing it since...
08:33You know, it's not important how long I've been doing it.
08:36Do you remember when we had that one-armed bandit in here?
08:39Hey, I'll serve anyone.
08:44I'm talking about the slot machine.
08:46Oh, yeah.
08:48Oh, man, we spent hours on that thing,
08:50trying to get all three cherries to line up.
08:52No, we didn't spend hours.
08:55You did, which is why we had to get rid of it.
08:58But this is different.
08:59I'm not losing money.
09:00Well, the tavern is.
09:02You got people waiting for drinks here.
09:03Okay, I can multitask.
09:05A couple at table five says you got the order wrong.
09:08The gin and tonics?
09:09What did I give them?
09:10A bottle of ketchup and a salt shaker.
09:16Okay, I'm not giving up until I get this ring on this hook.
09:21I want to be a hooker!
09:26I mean, I want to be a winner!
09:31Chaka-Con!
09:37The great thing about the speakeasy is...
09:39Wait, I heard Bobby said no to this idea already.
09:42Why are you telling me?
09:44You are on the forefront of cool, okay?
09:47I want your opinion.
09:49Uh-huh.
09:51And maybe you eventually give that opinion to Bobby,
09:53and it changes her opinion,
09:55and it gets us out of this stupid 50-50 deadlock.
09:58You're playing games.
09:59Gabby's playing games.
10:00Everybody stop playing games!
10:03Please just look at this chart.
10:05These are the average growth rates in markets similar to ours,
10:08even without traditional advertising.
10:10Just social media and word of mouth.
10:13Wow, that's pretty impressive.
10:15What's pretty impressive?
10:16Oh, I was just showing Steve all the profits my idea would bring in.
10:20Well, did you tell him the profits are currently imaginary and mine are real?
10:25They're not imaginary.
10:26They just exist in the future.
10:29The future?
10:29The one with the speakeasies?
10:32Look, Steve, I don't have a chart,
10:34but don't you think it makes good business sense to bring in a guaranteed $500 a month?
10:40You gotta get used to this, Bobby, because this won't be my last idea.
10:44Oh, yippee!
10:44We get to do this argument again!
10:48Why didn't Happy leave us a tiebreaker?
10:51Wait.
10:52We can let Steve decide.
10:54Excuse me?
10:57Be the tiebreaking vote?
10:59Yeah.
11:00He should know which one would be the best investment.
11:02He's an accountant.
11:03Exactly.
11:04I work with numbers, not weird family dynamics.
11:08Steve will be the tiebreaker.
11:10Whatever he picks goes.
11:11Sounds good to me.
11:13Sounds terrible to me.
11:15Relax.
11:17I mean, it's not like you have to pick sides.
11:19You just have to pick an idea.
11:22Yeah.
11:22No hard feelings.
11:23No.
11:24We promise.
11:27Fine.
11:28As the tavern's accountant, weighing in all the options,
11:32thinking about risk versus reward,
11:34looking at both the macro and the...
11:36Come on!
11:37I picked Bobby's idea.
11:38What?
11:39I'm sorry, Sabella, but the numbers are on her side.
11:42Did you hear that?
11:43Numbers are on my side.
11:45Stupid numbers.
11:46Fine.
11:49She said no hard feelings, but her feelings seem extremely hard.
11:52She said no hard feelings, but her feelings are on her side.
11:56Bobby, I have something for you.
11:59What's that?
12:00I found someone who wants to rent the upstairs unit for $600 a month.
12:04Huh.
12:05Guess I got the numbers on my side now.
12:07Oh-ho.
12:08Who's the tenant?
12:09Me.
12:11Me.
12:35I don't know if you're getting dizzy doing that,
12:38but I'm getting dizzy watching.
12:41I need to talk.
12:42Do we still do that?
12:44We're doing it now.
12:46It's not exactly riveting, but we're doing it.
12:55I don't know if you're getting dizzy.
12:56So, uh, is this about us?
12:59Oh, no.
13:01Okay.
13:02What's on your mind?
13:03It's about Isabella.
13:05Well, if you're asking me if she and I have talked about that thing with Happy,
13:09I haven't done it yet.
13:10Oh, and I'm sure you will.
13:11Nope.
13:12It's about the speakeasy.
13:13I thought you killed that idea.
13:15Why does everybody say that?
13:17It sounds terrible when you say it that way.
13:21Okay.
13:21What I meant to say is you debated the merits of the concept,
13:24and then, like always, you got your way.
13:27Oh, I'm so glad we can still talk.
13:31I don't know if you've heard,
13:33but she's going to do it anyway.
13:34She's going to use her own money.
13:36She is?
13:38That kid's got guts, huh?
13:40What if it's a mistake?
13:41Then it's a mistake.
13:43The great thing about being young is you've got a lot of time to make up for mistakes.
13:48I'm not that young.
13:49What if I'm the one making the mistake?
13:52By telling her no?
13:54She used to have small ideas that were so easy to say yes to,
13:58like movie night or adding an appetizer.
14:01This one's big.
14:02I don't know if I want to take that big of a risk.
14:05I don't get it.
14:07You already told her you don't want to be a part of it.
14:09So what are you worried about?
14:10I'm worried that she'll be fine with that.
14:13You ever heard of Sears and Roebuck?
14:15Whatever happened to Roebuck?
14:19I don't want to be Roebuck.
14:22So you're worried that she's going to leave and go out on her own?
14:27Exactly.
14:28That's the thing I don't want to risk.
14:33I don't like splitting up.
14:39Yeah, I get that.
14:47Hey.
14:48Get it.
14:50What is wrong with me?
14:52I'm sorry, Gabby.
14:53I never should have brought that thing into the bar.
14:55No.
14:56No, I'm happy that you did.
14:57Really?
14:58Yes.
14:59I've spent my entire life thinking that I was good at games.
15:03And now I know that I've been living a lie.
15:07In a way, I feel free.
15:11Steve said you used to play games with your mom when you were a kid.
15:14Yeah, all the time.
15:16In bars.
15:18In bars?
15:19Yeah.
15:20And she'd use me to win her free drinks.
15:23Those were the days.
15:24Just shake some sawdust on the shuffleboard,
15:27slide that disc into the three-point zone,
15:30and mom gets a free Mai Tai.
15:32Ah, sweet youth.
15:35And you'd always win?
15:37You just have to keep trying.
15:39That's all.
15:40And then you would win.
15:42Always?
15:44I mean, not every single time.
15:47That would be unrealistic.
15:50This is a game.
15:52You are a person.
15:54And this is a table.
15:57It's fun to say the name of things.
16:00I just needed to win.
16:03Then I knew she liked me.
16:09You don't need to win anymore, Gabby.
16:12We already like you.
16:28Finally!
16:30I'm a hooker!
16:31I'm a hooker!
16:34When do we close?
16:41Well, I guess you start over there,
16:44I'll start over here,
16:45and we move towards each other?
16:47Sounds good.
16:48Once I'll see you in a week.
16:51Wait, I want to help.
16:57Oh, my God!
16:58Steve, I can't believe you came up here.
17:00A spikyase is a great idea, Isabella.
17:02I want to be supportive.
17:03While not contracting the plague.
17:10Isabella.
17:11Bobby, are you okay?
17:12It's those stairs.
17:14Well, it'll knock the wind right out of you, right?
17:16No.
17:20All right, Isabella.
17:21I want to give you this.
17:23What are you doing?
17:24Well, I want to give you back your 600 bucks,
17:26and I was going to slap it down real dramatic like you did it,
17:29but I left it down in my office.
17:31You can't do that.
17:33Yeah, you're right.
17:34I can't take those stairs anymore.
17:37No.
17:38We agreed.
17:39It came down to numbers.
17:40Right, Steve?
17:41She's right.
17:43Hers is the highest bid.
17:44You cannot reject her money without a good reason.
17:47Well, I have a good reason.
17:48I want to be your partner.
17:51Oh, oh, this is great.
17:53I'm so glad I could be part of this beautiful moment.
17:56I found a wasp nest.
17:57Yeah, no, I'm out.
17:58Oh, you're right.
18:03You want to be part of the speakeasy?
18:06What changed your mind?
18:07Well, I realized I turned down a chance to do something really special with my sister
18:12just because something was kind of scary.
18:15I'd love to do this with you, but it's clear you're uncomfortable with the risk,
18:20and if I do this on my own, it's all on me.
18:23What?
18:23I love a risk.
18:25I also love that your generation wants cobwebs and creaky wood and...
18:30A wasp's nest.
18:31Huh?
18:34This speakeasy proposal isn't something that my co-owner sister just threw together.
18:41You're right about that.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Your idea was a well-thought-out concept that has so much life, and it could be something great.
18:50Or it could fail.
18:51Well, not if our unbeatable team sticks together.
18:55I don't want us to be divided.
18:57I don't want that either.
18:59So we're going to do this thing!
19:00As long as you agree, if it doesn't beat the rental money in six months,
19:05we do a lease with a back shop.
19:07Deal?
19:08Deal.
19:09Oh, thank you for trusting me.
19:11And I trust you, too.
19:13But we should really get this in writing.
19:16First thing in the morning.
19:18Bobby, I just know that we can make this the hottest bar in Knoxville.
19:22Okay, one more hurdle.
19:24We need to make sure that our tavern liquor license is valid up here.
19:29Oh, we don't have to worry about that.
19:31This is the best part.
19:33This speakeasy will only serve alcohol-free mocktails.
19:46Did I just agree to open a bar that doesn't serve alcohol?
19:51You did.
19:54I need a drink.
19:58Wait, is anybody else going to help me clean?
20:03Come on, man!
20:08Hey, thanks for the talk earlier.
20:11Isabelle and I are going to give the speakeasy a shot.
20:14Oh, that's great, Bobby.
20:16Anytime.
20:19Anytime?
20:20Anytime?
20:22When we broke up, you said that we should just go back to being friends.
20:29So, yeah.
20:31You can come talk to me anytime, Bobby.
20:34Anytime.
20:37Thanks, friend.
20:43You ever play this thing?
20:45Not in a million years.
20:46Well, let's try it.
20:48Okay.
20:48Grab a whole wand and...
20:53One.
20:55Two.
20:56Two.
20:56Oh, my God.
