00:00:50Okay, try this new batch, Bella.
00:00:55Smell good, Bella?
00:00:59And you know what's even better?
00:01:01It's really good food.
00:01:10Hey, Dad.
00:01:12Oh, hey, sweetheart.
00:01:14Hey, Maggie.
00:01:16How are you doing, my sweet buddy girl?
00:01:18Yeah, only a couple more weeks to go.
00:01:22Honey?
00:01:23Yeah?
00:01:27The puppies seem to like that twinkle ball of yours.
00:01:30Eh, forget that.
00:01:31What I have here is true alchemy.
00:01:34Here, puppy gold.
00:01:36Check this out.
00:01:43Hi.
00:01:54Oh, my God.
00:01:56Come here, you.
00:01:57Come here.
00:01:58Mama, what you putting on?
00:02:01Oh.
00:02:03I think I finally got the recipe right.
00:02:06Hi.
00:02:07Hi.
00:02:08Hi.
00:02:10Oh, you really ought to try and get these into stores.
00:02:13That's the plan.
00:02:18Look.
00:02:18They love them.
00:02:29I cracked the code.
00:02:32What's this?
00:02:33A recipe for the healthiest, most delicious dog treats on the market?
00:02:37Mm.
00:02:38Well, they're not on the market yet, but that's where you come in.
00:02:41Oh, Scarlet.
00:02:43You remember our last pitch, right?
00:02:45I remember, yeah.
00:02:46It didn't go super well.
00:02:47Yeah, and the pitch before that?
00:02:49You know what they say, geniuses are often misunderstood.
00:02:52But you gotta trust me on this one.
00:02:54Mm-mm.
00:02:55And all those products that we couldn't sell to the other stores?
00:02:57I mean, who carries them now?
00:03:00Okay, fair.
00:03:02Look, I do trust you.
00:03:04But your last venture into pet cuisine was a bit of a disaster.
00:03:08Yeah, I'll admit vegetable-infused ice cream wasn't the best choice.
00:03:12But this is the real deal.
00:03:14Bella loves them.
00:03:15The new litter at my dad's went wild over them.
00:03:18I even brought some for Baxter and Fateli.
00:03:22Mm-mm.
00:03:25If they love them, will you partner with me on this?
00:03:28Yes.
00:03:32Come on, you're so good at branding.
00:03:34And I need a catchy name and a logo.
00:03:36Please.
00:03:41Fine.
00:03:42Fine.
00:03:44Fine.
00:03:46Okay, let's see what we've got here.
00:03:49Oh, they smell good.
00:03:55Do you want to try one?
00:03:57Do you want to try one?
00:03:59Yes, baby.
00:04:00I've got one.
00:04:01I've got one.
00:04:01I've got one.
00:04:02I've got one.
00:04:02Yes, baby.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06Oh, I haven't forgotten you.
00:04:09I guess you really like those, huh?
00:04:13Are you smiling right now because you love them?
00:04:16Oh, I don't think you do.
00:04:17Oh, how do you convey nutritious and delicious in a name?
00:04:32Hmm.
00:04:38I think you're going to love this.
00:04:40I think you're going to love this.
00:04:40It looks great, doesn't it?
00:04:41Pup's palette?
00:04:42It's perfect.
00:04:43I think this is going to work.
00:04:44Right?
00:04:45All right.
00:04:47Let's go.
00:04:50I'm sorry.
00:04:51The figures just don't work for me.
00:04:53Best of luck.
00:04:55The name and the packaging are appealing, and the ingredients are top shelf.
00:05:00But Pupchuck is the leading brand.
00:05:03Truth is, we don't have room in our stores for an untested product with no sales history.
00:05:10I'm sorry.
00:05:11Good luck.
00:05:13No, not going to happen.
00:05:16Thanks for coming all this way, but it's going to be a no.
00:05:25Ugh, what a day.
00:05:28Tell me about it.
00:05:29Sounds nice.
00:05:30I just don't understand why Pupchuck has so much shelf space.
00:05:34I mean, our puppies don't even like it.
00:05:36Yeah, Tilly and Baxter don't like it either.
00:05:39Pupchuck.
00:05:40It's more like Pupchuck.
00:05:42Okay, well, it hasn't been a total loss.
00:05:44You did manage to convince one buyer.
00:05:47You carry my product out of pity.
00:05:49That is not true.
00:05:51You just need to keep at it until something hits.
00:05:55I mean, you know that Thomas Edison quote about light bulbs and failure, right?
00:05:59Yep.
00:06:00I haven't failed.
00:06:01I just found 10,000 ways it didn't work.
00:06:03I should frame that and hang it on my wall.
00:06:06Okay.
00:06:08Well, things may not be working out the way we want them to right now, but Matt still sent me
00:06:13over with this delicious bottle of Pinot and said that we should toast to our efforts so far.
00:06:19You have a great husband.
00:06:22I do, don't I?
00:06:26A toast to Edison and his 10,000 failures.
00:06:30And the light bulb.
00:06:31And to you and your indomitable creative spirit.
00:06:38Okay, okay, what I'm thinking is that we just, we need to cast a wider net.
00:06:42We've pitched at just about every store I know of.
00:06:45Actually, there is one that I thought of on the way over here that we didn't get to.
00:06:49It opened last year.
00:06:50It's called the, um, Paws and Wellness Emporium.
00:06:55Hmm, interesting name.
00:06:57It's a new chain, but they're expanding nationwide.
00:07:01I mean, their shelf space is probably already filled with pop chalk.
00:07:04Well, I don't know.
00:07:06But it's still worth a try.
00:07:09It just takes one yes, and then we're in business.
00:07:14That's true.
00:07:17I'm up for one more pitch if you are.
00:07:20Okay.
00:07:21Hmm?
00:07:23Cheers.
00:07:34What you accomplish in life comes down to a few key moments.
00:07:37And I think this is one of them.
00:07:44Let's do this.
00:07:49They have a dog mascot named Duke.
00:07:52Aw, that is so cute.
00:07:54Oh, here.
00:07:57Excuse me.
00:07:59Can I help you, ladies?
00:07:59Hi, we have a meeting with the general manager, Alex Polson.
00:08:03Um, right over there.
00:08:07That's it?
00:08:08Right over there?
00:08:09Yeah.
00:08:09Of course it does.
00:08:11Good job.
00:08:16You okay?
00:08:18You're looking kind of nervous.
00:08:20Oh, please.
00:08:22You'll see.
00:08:22By the end of this meeting, I'll have him eating puppy treats out of the palm of my hand.
00:08:27Oh, my God.
00:08:29Oh, no.
00:08:34That did not just happen.
00:08:37Clean up on aisle three.
00:08:38I'll go get the broom.
00:08:39Thanks, Benny.
00:08:40I am so sorry.
00:08:42That's okay.
00:08:43Accidents happen.
00:08:44I'll pay for all of it.
00:08:46That's kind of you.
00:08:49But that's not our policy.
00:08:51Man, believe me, I've seen a lot worse.
00:08:53Are you sure?
00:08:54Yeah.
00:08:55Yeah, I'm sure.
00:08:56Like I said, accidents happen.
00:09:03Mr. Polson.
00:09:04Oh, call me Alex.
00:09:05I'm Gina.
00:09:07Gina.
00:09:07This is Scarlett, my business partner.
00:09:09Scarlett.
00:09:09And, uh, hi.
00:09:11We're with Pup's Palette.
00:09:13Oh.
00:09:15Wow.
00:09:16Well, mess aside, it's nice to meet you both.
00:09:19Oh, you've got a bird seed.
00:09:22There you go.
00:09:24All good.
00:09:25Thanks.
00:09:27How about you both come to the office and tell me a little more about your product?
00:09:32Great.
00:09:33Great.
00:09:33Oh.
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:35Oh.
00:09:35Sure.
00:09:36Great.
00:09:38Watch your step.
00:09:40Off to a great start, huh?
00:09:42I'm so sorry.
00:09:43I'll pull it together.
00:09:43Well, you know, just try to keep your hands out of his hair during the pitch.
00:09:48Unlike the leading brand that currently overclutters the shelf space at grocery store and pet supply retailers,
00:09:53there is nothing artificial in Pup's Palette.
00:09:57Every ingredient is the highest quality and engineered to promote strong bone and muscle growth,
00:10:02strengthen eyesight, and aid in brain development.
00:10:06Wow.
00:10:08These have been test marketed?
00:10:09Absolutely.
00:10:10Extensively.
00:10:11And dogs seem to like it.
00:10:13Oh, they love it.
00:10:16And where is it currently being carried?
00:10:17Chew that.
00:10:18Not familiar with that.
00:10:20Is that a chain?
00:10:21No, it's a single store.
00:10:22It's great, though.
00:10:23It's the best.
00:10:25Gina owns it.
00:10:26Makes sense.
00:10:28Listen, I think this is an excellent product.
00:10:31I really do.
00:10:33But...
00:10:33But you don't have room in your store for an untested product with no sales history.
00:10:38That's not what I was going to say.
00:10:41It's just, before I make a decision, I thought maybe I'd try it out on my own puppy.
00:10:46See if he likes it.
00:10:48Do you...
00:10:49Do you have a dog?
00:10:50I do.
00:10:51Ah.
00:10:51A young old named Ozzy.
00:10:55So if you...
00:10:56Papa's palate is actually what you say it is, I'll consider placing an order.
00:11:01That's amazing.
00:11:03Don't you think, Gina, that's amazing?
00:11:04Oh, I do.
00:11:05I do.
00:11:07But I think we should be going before we say or do anything that might make him change his mind.
00:11:11Um, thank you so much for your time, Alex.
00:11:17Pleasure, Scarlett.
00:11:18We'll be in for the box.
00:11:20I hope Mosey enjoys it.
00:11:25Bye.
00:11:26See ya.
00:11:31Mosey.
00:11:34Like Mosey alone.
00:11:36That's exactly it.
00:11:38I love it.
00:11:41Bye.
00:11:50Pop, Chuck, quarterly report, Mr. Fresca.
00:11:55We need to do something to boost this profit margin.
00:11:58Mmm.
00:11:58I was thinking the same thing.
00:12:00Were you?
00:12:01No.
00:12:01It's too thin.
00:12:02Or it's going to jump all over it.
00:12:04We need to fatten it up.
00:12:05Mmm.
00:12:06What's glucosamine, anyway?
00:12:08Well, look it up.
00:12:10Right.
00:12:11Jeez.
00:12:12They teach you anything at Harvard Business School?
00:12:14Um, glucosamine is a nutrient that supports joint health.
00:12:18Does it affect taste?
00:12:19Uh, it says here it's tasteless.
00:12:22Then get rid of it.
00:12:23The cost of that stuff's gone through the roof.
00:12:25But, sir...
00:12:25It's not up for discussion.
00:12:26Our priority here is what?
00:12:28Fattening the profit margin.
00:12:29Now you are getting it.
00:12:31Uh, uh, uh.
00:12:31I need you to run another report for me.
00:12:33Come here.
00:12:34Write it down.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:35If we were to reduce the amount of food in our bags by, let's say, 2% or 3%,
00:12:39but we continue to increase pricing at CPI plus 1%,
00:12:44how would that impact profit margin?
00:12:45My guess is it'd make it even fatter.
00:12:47Good, because I want it as fat as that bear that won Fat Bear Week.
00:12:51You see that thing?
00:12:52No.
00:12:52Well, it was fat.
00:12:54Now go.
00:12:56Go faster.
00:13:00Mosey, want to try a new treat?
00:13:03Mosey, come on.
00:13:05Try this out, buddy.
00:13:06What do you think?
00:13:09Whoa.
00:13:12Someone is hungry.
00:13:33That's a lot of pub, Chuck.
00:13:46You wait right here.
00:13:47I'm not done with your spa treatment.
00:13:51Hello?
00:13:51Scarlet.
00:13:53Hi, it's Alex Paulson, general manager of Paulson Wellness Emporium.
00:13:56Oh, hi.
00:13:57Hi.
00:13:59Listen, um, I just wanted to tell you that Mosey absolutely loved Pop's Palette, and, um,
00:14:09we'd like to place an order.
00:14:12Scarlet, you there.
00:14:13Oh, yeah, hi.
00:14:16Um, sure, an order, we can do that.
00:14:18Uh, how much were you thinking?
00:14:19Well, how soon can you deliver a hundred boxes?
00:14:25Oh, Scarlet, why did you have to tell him tomorrow?
00:14:28You know, a few extra days would have made this a little more manageable.
00:14:32I just wanted to seem official, you know?
00:14:36Like, one hundred boxes.
00:14:38Yeah, no problem.
00:14:39We'll get that to you.
00:14:40You know?
00:14:41We're a real company.
00:14:44Hey, we are a real company now.
00:14:46Yeah, we are.
00:14:48Ah!
00:14:49You know, if this works out, we're gonna need to staff up.
00:14:53You know, and get some more equipment.
00:14:55This is so exciting.
00:14:57You know what else was exciting?
00:15:06The thing I noticed between you and Alex.
00:15:08What thing?
00:15:10Oh, don't even.
00:15:12The sparks that flew when you two locked eyes were like Fourth of July fireworks.
00:15:17Please.
00:15:18He likes you.
00:15:20Trust me.
00:15:21No, it didn't even seem to matter that you destroyed his display of birdseed.
00:15:25Oh my gosh, that was so embarrassing.
00:15:30Okay, fine.
00:15:31I'll admit, he's sort of good looking.
00:15:34Sort of?
00:15:35Oh, okay, no disrespect to my husband.
00:15:38You know I love Matt to pieces, but...
00:15:40Hey, Alex is just...
00:15:43He's just...
00:15:44Different level attractive.
00:15:46Mm-hmm.
00:15:47Yeah, well, he's probably got loads of girlfriends, so he's not the kind of type I would date anyway.
00:15:52We did just meet the guy.
00:15:54But beyond his looks, I mean, he's polite and friendly.
00:16:02And unlike your ex, actually employed.
00:16:05Okay, just because Jeremy didn't have a job didn't make him a bad guy.
00:16:11But, Scarlett...
00:16:12Let's face it.
00:16:14You don't exactly make the best choices when it comes to men.
00:16:18I mean, time and again you've dismissed what may have been the right one and...
00:16:21And gone with the wrong one.
00:16:24Am I right or wrong?
00:16:26Yeah.
00:16:27You're right.
00:16:29I thought I could trust him.
00:16:31I thought a lot of things about Jeremy that were wrong.
00:16:34So don't be afraid to take a chance.
00:16:36Hmm?
00:16:40It's often where you find true love.
00:16:44Hmph.
00:16:50Check it out.
00:16:51It's not lost.
00:16:52It's flying off the shelf.
00:16:54Hi, Pop.
00:16:55Hi, Pop.
00:16:57Thanks.
00:17:01Just right inside the door would be perfect.
00:17:05He wants to meet for coffee.
00:17:07Why do I feel like I'm getting nervous?
00:17:09Hmph.
00:17:11How about little Victor's 8 a.m.?
00:17:17A date?
00:17:19It's not a date.
00:17:21Is it?
00:17:22It's totally a date.
00:17:24It's a business meeting.
00:17:26Okay, fine.
00:17:27Then it's a date disguised as business meeting.
00:17:31Do you really think so?
00:17:32I mean, we're just going for coffee.
00:17:34Well, my first date with Matt was at a coffee shop.
00:17:36Oh, how romantic.
00:17:39It was, actually.
00:17:42Yeah, but what was romantic had nothing to do with the coffee.
00:17:47Now, it's when I realized how genuinely interested he was to know every little thing about me.
00:17:56And the way that he looked at me, and the way that he looked at me, it was like no
00:18:01one else existed.
00:18:05I'd never been on a date with someone that was just so focused on me.
00:18:11It's like he was savoring every minute.
00:18:15He never even checked his phone once.
00:18:18You know, he told me after, that he knew right from the beginning that I was the girl of his
00:18:23dreams.
00:18:24I know.
00:18:29I know, really.
00:18:30That sounds special.
00:18:33So remember, Scarlett, when it comes to relationships, never settle for anything but the absolute best.
00:18:44No, it's true.
00:18:53You're looking at the Illinois state record holder for the longest ride ever.
00:18:57You're serious?
00:18:58Peoria to Chicago, 173 miles.
00:19:01No way.
00:19:02You can look it up.
00:19:04I mean, how'd you do that?
00:19:07I don't know.
00:19:09Youthful determination?
00:19:11I was 16.
00:19:12My friends thought I was crazy.
00:19:14Maybe I was crazy.
00:19:15But I raised $17,000 for the animal shelter.
00:19:19I was more proud of that than the ride itself.
00:19:21Amazing.
00:19:25You know, I wouldn't have pegged you for a unicycler, though.
00:19:27Oh, then you do not know me at all.
00:19:30If it is unusual, unique, something most people can't do, I am all over it.
00:19:35Yeah, I guess I could see that.
00:19:40How'd we get on the subject anyway?
00:19:42Hmm.
00:19:43My fault.
00:19:44I'm just asking way too many questions.
00:19:46Yeah, would you cut that out?
00:19:47I'm sorry.
00:19:48I'm just genuinely interested.
00:19:50In what exactly?
00:19:52In you.
00:19:57Do you need to get that?
00:20:02Um, I can wait.
00:20:07Um, so we should probably talk business, right?
00:20:11I mean, that's why we're here, isn't it?
00:20:14Yeah, let's get into it.
00:20:17I'd like to double what I ordered last time.
00:20:19Double?
00:20:20You're kidding.
00:20:21No, I'm the GM, so my job is to apply what the customers want.
00:20:27I'd like to speak with our regional manager and ask her if she'll hear your pitch.
00:20:32Yeah, I would really appreciate that, Alex.
00:20:34Don't mention it.
00:20:39Cheers.
00:20:46Thanks again for everything.
00:20:48Of course.
00:20:50It was a lot of fun.
00:20:51Yeah, it was.
00:20:53So, where are you off to?
00:20:55Oh, I go to this rock climbing gym on the weekends.
00:20:58I'm just gonna head over there right now.
00:21:00Wow, rock climbing.
00:21:01So I'm not the only one into unique hobbies.
00:21:04Yeah.
00:21:05Yeah, it's really therapeutic.
00:21:07Keeps my mind off everything.
00:21:09Gets me really present, you know, in the moment.
00:21:11But it's also a really good workout.
00:21:14I worked out earlier.
00:21:15I like to get my exercise in early so the rest of the day is dedicated to work.
00:21:19Even on a Saturday?
00:21:20Even on Sunday.
00:21:21It's just us running the business.
00:21:24It's the only way to get ahead.
00:21:27Well, I hope I'm not being too forward, but you don't want to come with?
00:21:31I mean, you're totally dressed for it.
00:21:34Take time to celebrate your wins?
00:21:36You know what?
00:21:37Maybe work can wait a couple of hours.
00:21:40Yeah?
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:42I think I want to give rock climbing a try.
00:21:45I think we should do it then.
00:21:46Come on, let's go.
00:21:58Okay, this is my happy place.
00:22:01You don't do this on real mountains, do you?
00:22:04Sure, yeah.
00:22:05I go camping as often as I can.
00:22:07Just to kind of restart, you know?
00:22:11Can I grab this for me here?
00:22:12Thank you so much.
00:22:15You know, I go climbing, hiking, fishing.
00:22:18You know, it's just really nice to detach for a while.
00:22:20Just completely immerse yourself in nature.
00:22:23It's good for the soul, you know?
00:22:24I think I would have a panic attack if I was away from work for too long.
00:22:29Well, I believe in a work-life balance.
00:22:32Who knows?
00:22:33You might even find being in nature, well, you know, it might actually feed your creativity.
00:22:40You want a demonstration?
00:22:41Yeah.
00:22:42Yeah?
00:22:43All right, chalk your hands up like this.
00:22:48And get a good hold, like so.
00:22:51And then away we go.
00:22:56Remember to use your legs.
00:22:59Wow.
00:23:00You're really good.
00:23:07One last move.
00:23:12All right, that's it.
00:23:13Way to go, Alex.
00:23:24That was impressive.
00:23:27Sorry.
00:23:28No worries.
00:23:29But now it's your turn.
00:23:31Okay.
00:23:32Okay.
00:23:32Okay, first, I'd like you to loop this.
00:23:35And you're going to feed it right through the red loop.
00:23:37Both red loops.
00:23:38Yeah, just like that.
00:23:39Okay, I'm going to belay you.
00:23:41What's that mean?
00:23:42Well, if you fall, I got you.
00:23:45Oh, so I'm putting my life in your hands.
00:23:48Well, rock climb requires you trust your partner.
00:23:50That sure is asking a lot.
00:23:52I mean, we're just starting to get to know each other.
00:23:54Trust me, Scarlett.
00:23:56I got you.
00:24:04You got me?
00:24:05I got you.
00:24:09All right, Scarlett.
00:24:10Way to go.
00:24:14Right here.
00:24:15Put a hold.
00:24:20I think I like this.
00:24:22You're doing great.
00:24:24Keep going.
00:24:31I did it.
00:24:32You did.
00:24:34Congratulations.
00:24:34That's great.
00:24:36All right, now I want you to hold the rope and push off the wall with your feet.
00:24:40Uh, you want me to let go of the wall?
00:24:44Don't worry, Scarlett.
00:24:45I got you.
00:24:46You can trust me.
00:24:47He's got me.
00:24:48I can trust him.
00:24:54There you go.
00:25:01Oh, my gosh, that was amazing.
00:25:04That was incredible.
00:25:05You did great.
00:25:07So, do you want to try a different route, or do you have to get back to work?
00:25:11I think I have time for one more.
00:25:13Well, that's what I'd like to hear.
00:25:15All right, let's go.
00:25:23Yes?
00:25:24Alex Paulson is here to see you.
00:25:26Oh, great.
00:25:27Just give me a minute and then send him in.
00:25:38Come on in.
00:25:40Please, have a seat.
00:25:42Oh, okay.
00:25:44So, what brings you up to corporate, aside from wanting to see me?
00:25:50Well, I just want to bring a new product to your attention.
00:25:54What is it?
00:25:55It's a dog treat called Pup's Palette.
00:25:58A new dog treat.
00:26:00Not very exciting.
00:26:02Well, to dog owners it is.
00:26:04I just put a little shelf space aside in my store, and it's doing really, really well.
00:26:10My own pup loves it.
00:26:11And the women behind the business started it because they actually care about the health and well-being of puppies.
00:26:17Puppies don't spend money, Alex.
00:26:19Well, in my store, the owners are spending it on Pup's Palette.
00:26:25Look, I'm just asking you to hear their pitch.
00:26:27That's all.
00:26:29Sure.
00:26:30Why not?
00:26:31Great.
00:26:33Look, I'm not one to mix business with personal matters, so let's just shelf the business for now.
00:26:38You've been very distant lately.
00:26:41Um, but, sorry, I thought we agreed that, um, we're gonna step back from this relationship.
00:26:51For the sake of our friendship and, and, uh, you know, for working together.
00:26:55Hmm.
00:26:55That was not my takeaway from our last conversation.
00:26:58Okay.
00:26:58Um, I thought we had a good thing going, and I agreed we should, you know, slow things down, but
00:27:04I don't think either one of us, like, was definitive about ending things.
00:27:10Well, I, sorry, I, uh, um, sorry.
00:27:14Yes?
00:27:15Your ten o'clock conference call is ready when you are.
00:27:18All right, I'll be right with them.
00:27:19Listen, I have to jump on this call, but I would love to get together to talk.
00:27:23You know, I think it's pretty clear that I'm not ready to move on, and if you are, that's fine.
00:27:29Um, but I would love to talk it through.
00:27:33Yeah.
00:27:34Sure.
00:27:35Great.
00:27:37Okay.
00:27:37I already made us a reservation anyway, so that's perfect.
00:27:41Cool.
00:27:41Thank you, Alex.
00:27:43Mm-hmm.
00:27:59Hey, Dad.
00:28:01Oh, hi, honey.
00:28:03Hi.
00:28:06Hello.
00:28:07Hello.
00:28:07I thought I'd stock you up.
00:28:10Hope.
00:28:13Hi.
00:28:17Paws doubled their order, so we've cranked production into high gear, and we're looking to lease
00:28:22some new equipment.
00:28:23Oh, honey, that is great news.
00:28:25I think that this is going to really take off.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29But the, uh, the Poggles might need a little work.
00:28:33Hmm.
00:28:33Yeah.
00:28:34Looks like I need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
00:28:36Uh-huh.
00:28:36Because dogs need UV protection, too, you know?
00:28:40How's Maggie doing?
00:28:41Well, you know, she's been a bit more lethargic than usual, but it, uh, I think she's okay.
00:28:48I'm keeping a close eye on her.
00:28:49Okay.
00:28:50I think I'll go sit with her for a bit later.
00:28:54Hi.
00:28:57Okay.
00:28:57Okay.
00:28:58Bye.
00:28:59Bye.
00:29:09How you doing, sweet girl?
00:29:12Yeah, creating new life must really Tucker you out.
00:29:17Bet the joy you'll bring into this world.
00:29:30Hey, Moze, you want to go for a run, boy?
00:29:32Yeah.
00:29:32You ready for a run?
00:29:33Oh, so am I.
00:29:35Okay.
00:29:36Here we go.
00:29:38Okay.
00:29:38Let's go.
00:29:39Come on.
00:29:40Come on.
00:29:40You can go by the dog park, too.
00:29:42Come on.
00:29:43Good boy.
00:29:47Okay.
00:29:47I know you love the park.
00:29:48We're almost there.
00:29:49Come here, Mozey.
00:29:50Come here.
00:29:51He's so long.
00:29:53He's gonna be there all the day.
00:29:57Good boy.
00:30:02Come here often.
00:30:06Alex, hi.
00:30:07Hey, Scarlet.
00:30:08Oh, why did I sit?
00:30:09Of course.
00:30:10Thanks.
00:30:14Did you bring Mozey?
00:30:16I did.
00:30:17Which one is he?
00:30:18He's right over there.
00:30:20You thought I'm from Picket Fence Puppies, didn't you?
00:30:23I did.
00:30:24How'd you know?
00:30:25I never forget one of our pops.
00:30:27As a matter of fact, I think I was there when he was born.
00:30:30Jack Townsend is my dad.
00:30:31You're kidding me.
00:30:32No.
00:30:33He's great.
00:30:35So, puppies is a family business.
00:30:37Yeah, I guess you could say that.
00:30:39I actually designed this dog park, planning to expand it in the spring, so I'm just brainstorming
00:30:44a few ideas.
00:30:45Wow.
00:30:47You've got a lot going on.
00:30:48I also invented 27 new dog toys and accessories.
00:30:51Have patents on six, the rest patent pending.
00:30:54What are you, like the Leonardo da Vinci of the pet world, or what?
00:30:58I think that's a bit of a stretch, but I appreciate the compliment.
00:31:01Now, you're certainly prolific.
00:31:04Wow.
00:31:04Oh, looks like Bella met Mozey.
00:31:06Hmm.
00:31:07Bella's your pup?
00:31:08Mm-hmm.
00:31:10So, are they from the same litter?
00:31:12Different parents, a couple weeks apart.
00:31:14Hmm.
00:31:15Looks like they're already fond of each other.
00:31:17Yeah, I think they are.
00:31:21You know, it's a sort of serendipitous I ran into you here.
00:31:25It is?
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:26I, uh, I got some good news.
00:31:29I was gonna see if you wanted to meet up tomorrow so I could tell you in person, but might
00:31:35as well
00:31:35tell you now.
00:31:36I managed to get you a pitch meeting with the regional manager, Michelle.
00:31:40Oh, my gosh.
00:31:41Thank you, Alex.
00:31:42Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:31:43You're welcome.
00:31:48Um, even though I don't have an excuse to ask you out, um, do you think you, um, still might
00:31:57want to do something?
00:31:59Depends.
00:32:00What do you have in mind?
00:32:09This is pretty cool.
00:32:10Well, feels like we went back in time.
00:32:13Yeah.
00:32:15You know, they've been holding screenings here in the springtime every year since my parents
00:32:18were kids.
00:32:19Did you come here growing up?
00:32:20Oh, yeah.
00:32:22My parents are movie buffs.
00:32:23So whenever they showed a classic screening here in the park, that was a Friday night.
00:32:28I love that.
00:32:40What are you doing?
00:32:41You're gonna miss the movie.
00:32:42Got a reply to one of my suppliers.
00:32:46Right this second?
00:32:47Nothing works unless you do.
00:32:49That's Maya Angelou.
00:32:51Um, yeah, she was a genius, but I don't think she meant that exactly.
00:32:58Work-life balance.
00:33:00Let's give it a try.
00:33:01Okay.
00:33:03Well, if...
00:33:23Hey, Dad, what's up?
00:33:27Okay, slow down.
00:33:29What's wrong with Maggie?
00:33:32Okay, I'll be right there.
00:33:36This pregnancy has been harder on Maggie this time.
00:33:40Her energy, she's been really tuckered out lately.
00:33:44Hmm.
00:33:45I'm gonna do a sonogram so we can get a closer look.
00:33:52I think I figured out why she's so fatigued.
00:33:56Why?
00:33:57One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:34:07That'll tuck her anyone out.
00:34:10I'll run her blood work back to the lab just to get everything checked out, but I think she'll be
00:34:15fine.
00:34:17Thank you for coming so quickly, Dr. Mitchell.
00:34:20Whenever you have any concerns, call me, okay?
00:34:23You had us worried, sweet girl.
00:34:25You're gonna be just fine.
00:34:34I like it.
00:34:37You do.
00:34:38I do.
00:34:39It's about time we inject some new life into the pet treat section.
00:34:42So I'll tell you what, I will start it out at one-third of our 72 stores, and if it
00:34:47moves, we will distribute Pup's Palette regionally.
00:34:51Yeah.
00:34:51Yeah, we would love that.
00:34:54And I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if it does well, we could be looking at a
00:34:58nationwide rollout.
00:35:01Thank you, thank you so much.
00:35:04I'm glad Alex brought it to me.
00:35:05He was a real advocate for you, too.
00:35:07We love Alex.
00:35:08Yeah, I do.
00:35:12I mean, we do.
00:35:15I don't actually mean love, love, like in a romantic way.
00:35:17What I meant to say is we love his enthusiasm and just general personality.
00:35:24And we should go.
00:35:25You know what?
00:35:26Because I'm sure Michelle has a very busy afternoon ahead of her.
00:35:32So, thank you again so much.
00:35:34You're not going to regret this.
00:35:36Come on.
00:35:38Bye.
00:35:38Bye.
00:35:39Bye.
00:35:50Alex.
00:35:51Yeah, I just saw the pitch and I placed an order for 24 stores.
00:35:55Oh, they were excited, all right.
00:35:58Listen, for dinner, what do you think about Maddie?
00:36:06Really appreciate you guys getting here so fast.
00:36:12Hey, Alex.
00:36:13Hey.
00:36:15Oh, big day, huh?
00:36:16Just getting all the new equipment can't tell you how excited I am.
00:36:19Well, I got you something.
00:36:21Ooh, what is that?
00:36:22Take a look.
00:36:27Just like the chef said cordon bleu wear.
00:36:31How do I look?
00:36:32You look great.
00:36:34I mean, official.
00:36:37Do you want to come inside and see how I set up the operation?
00:36:39Oh, yeah.
00:36:40Okay, let's check it out.
00:36:44Welcome.
00:36:46This has always been my design studio, but it's also perfect for this operation.
00:36:51I really like it.
00:36:52I'm adding fans for ventilation, an industrial-scale kitchen over here, and a packaging assembly line over there.
00:36:59Great space.
00:37:00And all of our ingredients for the next month are express-shipped.
00:37:04And with the equipment I've leased, we'll definitely have the capacity to handle our current orders and a good amount
00:37:09of growth.
00:37:09Well, that's important, because I think you're going to keep growing.
00:37:13And I'll be right there beside you.
00:37:20Right against the back wall would be great.
00:37:22Thanks.
00:37:25Amazing how this has taken off.
00:37:27I'm really, really happy for you.
00:37:28I think this calls for celebration.
00:37:31Besides, I owe you for all your health.
00:37:33Work-life balance, right?
00:37:35Celebrate our wins.
00:37:36I'd love to take you for dinner tonight.
00:37:38Oh, I'd love to, Scarlett, but I have a prior obligation.
00:37:42It's with Michelle.
00:37:43Michelle, the regional manager?
00:37:45Yeah.
00:37:46Oh, I didn't realize you two had a thing.
00:37:48We're just getting together to just talk things through.
00:37:50That's all.
00:37:51Oh.
00:37:54But maybe we can get together tomorrow night.
00:37:57I think I'll be pretty busy getting this place all sorted out.
00:38:02But maybe I can help?
00:38:04No.
00:38:04You've done enough already.
00:38:07Gina and I have it covered.
00:38:09You sure?
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:10Um, I appreciate all your help, Alex.
00:38:14I really do.
00:38:28It's not as good as the 2018, but it's not bad.
00:38:31What do you think?
00:38:33It's pretty good.
00:38:35Not too oaky?
00:38:36Um, no.
00:38:38I don't think so.
00:38:40I'm no wine connoisseur, though, so.
00:38:42I recently did a vineyard tour in Napa.
00:38:45It was fabulous.
00:38:47Maybe we could do that together sometime.
00:38:51Oh, you know me.
00:38:52When it comes to the outdoors, I prefer to rough it.
00:38:55I guess I haven't matured to wine tasting quite yet.
00:38:58You'll get there.
00:39:00Yeah, we'll see.
00:39:04This is really nice, Alex.
00:39:08Yeah, it is.
00:39:09Really nice.
00:39:11No, I mean this, us.
00:39:14Oh.
00:39:18Michelle, listen.
00:39:20This is really nice, but I need to be honest with you.
00:39:24Let me guess.
00:39:25You don't want to be tied down right now.
00:39:28Why would you think that?
00:39:30You know that's not me at all.
00:39:32You don't think that I see the way women look at you?
00:39:35Most of them would do anything to date a guy like you.
00:39:39And yet you're still single.
00:39:42Uh.
00:39:48Michelle, what?
00:39:50I think it's best I leave.
00:39:51I thought there might be something between us worth pursuing.
00:39:55I'm sorry I put you in this position, Alex.
00:39:59Michelle.
00:40:13Hello, Michelle.
00:40:14Oh.
00:40:16To what do I owe the pleasure of this surprise visit?
00:40:19Well, I caught wind that a certain competitor is trying to move in on our turf.
00:40:25If you're referring to the new brand of dog treats, yes.
00:40:28We're going to make a little bit of room on the shelf in a third of our stores and just
00:40:31see how it goes.
00:40:32I'll tell you how it's going to go.
00:40:35It's not going to go at all because that's our shelf space.
00:40:38You'll still have the vast majority.
00:40:40But I want what we have now.
00:40:42Every square inch.
00:40:45Paul.
00:40:46Be reasonable.
00:40:48Michelle.
00:40:48This impacts me personally.
00:40:51I mean, this hits my bottom line.
00:40:53Pupchuck is my bread and butter.
00:40:57Do you even know what's in it?
00:41:01Well, I know what's not in it.
00:41:03Glucosamine.
00:41:04What?
00:41:06Listen, I'm a numbers guy.
00:41:08It's a food for dogs.
00:41:09It sells well.
00:41:11I really don't care what's in it.
00:41:13You know this business, Paul.
00:41:15There are new products being introduced all the time.
00:41:18You've got to figure out a way to keep your customers happy or they're going to take their
00:41:22money elsewhere.
00:41:22Do I need to remind you who owns Pupchuck?
00:41:26National provisions.
00:41:27Yes.
00:41:28One of your largest suppliers.
00:41:30I'm sure you're aware.
00:41:32What are you saying, Paul?
00:41:35Look, Michelle.
00:41:39Between you and me, I've seen how the execs at National Provisions react to threats.
00:41:44They're not afraid to sick their attorneys on the little guy.
00:41:48And then, next thing you know, maybe there's something in those dog treats that the FDA wants
00:41:54to take a closer look at.
00:41:56So, they pull all the products off the shelf until an exhaustive investigation is concluded
00:42:01and, well, that could take weeks, months, maybe even years.
00:42:08Sounds like you're making a threat yourself, Paul.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13I'm just passing along information to a friend.
00:42:17Well, it's, uh, it's good to see you, as always.
00:42:43Hey.
00:42:43Hi.
00:42:44Okay.
00:42:45You sure you have time for this?
00:42:46Oh, yeah.
00:42:47At this point, it's all hands on deck.
00:42:48We have orders to fill, and Matt's got the store covered, so.
00:42:52Great.
00:42:52The team is on their way.
00:42:53Let's get started.
00:42:54Okay.
00:42:55So, we're going to shred the apples, shred the carrots, make the dough.
00:42:58Oven is all ready to go.
00:42:59Perfect.
00:42:59Perfect.
00:42:59Let's do it.
00:43:04Rochelle.
00:43:05Hi.
00:43:06Alex, we need to talk.
00:43:08Um, look, if this is about last night, there's more to it that I wanted to explain.
00:43:13What I wanted to say was, I actually have feelings for someone else.
00:43:18Oh.
00:43:20And I'm not totally sure about how she feels about me, but I just want to see how it goes,
00:43:26so that's why I...
00:43:27It's Scarlet, isn't it?
00:43:29Yes.
00:43:31Alex, this isn't about us.
00:43:35It isn't?
00:43:36No.
00:43:37I'm here to discuss business.
00:43:40I need you to remove Pup's palate from the shelf.
00:43:44What?
00:43:45I mean, it's flying off the shelves.
00:43:48Pup Chuck is the best-selling pet food that we carry.
00:43:51Um, it's the only pet food we carry.
00:43:54We have a relationship between Pup Chuck and National Provisions that I can't afford to upset,
00:43:58so I'm canceling the order.
00:44:02No, you can't do that.
00:44:04No, Scarlet and Gina just leased a bunch of equipment,
00:44:07and they're actually fulfilling one of our orders right now as we speak.
00:44:11You know, there is a clause that stipulates the agreement can be voided within 72 hours.
00:44:19Michelle, that's not fair.
00:44:21I'm sorry, Alex, but I need you to remove Pup's palate today.
00:44:25I'll call Scarlet and Gina myself and let them know.
00:44:40I actually asked him to dinner to celebrate, which is so unlike me.
00:44:45I'm proud of you.
00:44:47Yeah.
00:44:48But he turned me down.
00:44:50What?
00:44:52Well, I thought things were heating up between you two.
00:44:55Yeah, so did I.
00:44:57Well, then why did he turn you down?
00:44:59He had another date.
00:45:02With Michelle.
00:45:05The regional manager that we pitched to?
00:45:07Uh-huh.
00:45:08Turns out they dated.
00:45:10He downplayed it.
00:45:11Said they just had a couple of things to talk through, but...
00:45:16Am I naive for believing him?
00:45:18Well, why would he tell you that if it wasn't true?
00:45:20Maybe he's more like Jeremy than I thought.
00:45:24No, I don't think so.
00:45:26He's being transparent.
00:45:27And that's a good thing.
00:45:28Most guys would just tell you that they're busy.
00:45:31What if he's the type of guy that likes to date around?
00:45:33I mean, you've seen the way women look at him.
00:45:38He just doesn't strike me as that kind of guy.
00:45:41I'm not saying that you're guard down.
00:45:44I mean, you've been hurt before.
00:45:45Yeah, I'm gullible.
00:45:47It's a fault.
00:45:49No, you're trusting.
00:45:51You take people at their word until they prove otherwise.
00:45:54And that's the way that you want to be.
00:45:58No, I think that Alex is an honest guy.
00:46:02Yeah, I think so too.
00:46:05Thanks for the advice, Gina.
00:46:07Well, what are friends for?
00:46:10If I'm being honest, I think I'm starting to really like him.
00:46:15Well, there's a lot to like.
00:46:16There really is.
00:46:23It's Michelle.
00:46:24You know what?
00:46:25She's probably calling about the order.
00:46:27Just tell her we're ahead of schedule.
00:46:30Hi, Michelle.
00:46:32Good morning, Scarlett.
00:46:33We are on track to fill the order by Friday,
00:46:36maybe even a day early.
00:46:38That's what I'm calling about.
00:46:39I have some unfortunate news.
00:46:44Not right now, Duke.
00:46:46We need to talk.
00:46:49Let me look into this, boss.
00:46:51Thanks.
00:46:51I'll just talk to you in a minute.
00:46:52Okay.
00:46:55I tell you, you spoke to Michelle.
00:46:57Yeah, I spoke with Michelle.
00:46:58Yeah, she wanted to tell you personally.
00:47:00I was gonna come by right after work and see you.
00:47:04I can't believe this, Alex.
00:47:05I trusted you.
00:47:06You said you had my back.
00:47:09I do have your back.
00:47:10Look, I am sorry.
00:47:11I tried to stop it, but it's out of my hands, Scarlett.
00:47:16I'm on the hook for the new equipment and all the ingredients.
00:47:19I know.
00:47:20I hired three new people, Alex.
00:47:22I gave them my word.
00:47:24Even if I go broke doing it,
00:47:25I'm paying them for the month, work or no work,
00:47:27because I keep my word.
00:47:29I'm like Paws and Wellness Emporium.
00:47:32Sorry.
00:47:37I have a shipment emergency I have to deal with.
00:47:41I really want to sit down with you and talk this through.
00:47:44Can we speak tomorrow?
00:47:46Sure.
00:47:47Okay.
00:47:48Listen.
00:47:49We're gonna figure something out.
00:47:51All right?
00:47:51I promise.
00:47:53I promise.
00:48:03Oh, hi, Gina.
00:48:06Thanks for coming.
00:48:07Of course.
00:48:08She's been laying out there a while now.
00:48:11It's not at all like her.
00:48:16I know we'll snap her out of it.
00:48:20Puppies!
00:48:21Puppies!
00:48:22Come here.
00:48:23Come here, puppy.
00:48:38Oh, there's that smile.
00:48:41Hi, Gina.
00:48:45How are you feeling?
00:48:46Nothing better.
00:48:47Mm-hmm.
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:52It's time to get up.
00:48:54You're coming with me.
00:48:55Where are we going?
00:48:57On a jog.
00:48:58A jog?
00:48:59Yes.
00:49:01We just need a creative spark.
00:49:03I get all of my best ideas when I'm out running,
00:49:06and you desperately need to get those endorphins pumping.
00:49:09So come on.
00:49:10Let's go.
00:49:11Okay.
00:49:11Let's go.
00:49:12Yeah.
00:49:13Come on.
00:49:14Come on.
00:49:14Come on.
00:49:34Scarlet!
00:49:34Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:49:37Okay, I think, I think I have an idea.
00:49:40Okay, let's hear it.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:42We need to pivot.
00:49:44Pivot?
00:49:44Yeah, it's a basketball term.
00:49:46And that was a very overused business buzzword, but in this case, it might actually work.
00:49:50Explain.
00:49:51Okay.
00:49:52So Paws and Wellness Emporium, they won't put Pups Pilot in the stores, right?
00:49:56Yeah, that's the problem.
00:49:59Yeah, but they never said anything about outside of the stores.
00:50:02I don't follow.
00:50:04Okay, um, what if we set up a booth in front of the store and we bring in some of
00:50:10your dad's
00:50:10puppies and we conduct a taste test so customers can see firsthand what an amazing product we
00:50:15have.
00:50:16You know, they say the customer is always right, right?
00:50:19So think about it.
00:50:20If they see a bunch of customers interested in our product, they're going to feel pressured
00:50:23to put Pups Pilot back on the shelf.
00:50:25This is a great idea.
00:50:27You think?
00:50:28I do.
00:50:29You see, I need an idea and I go for a run.
00:50:32Works every time.
00:50:33I already have a vision for the booth.
00:50:36And I can take care of the signage, so...
00:50:39Let's do it.
00:50:40Let's do it.
00:50:41Hi.
00:50:42How's it going?
00:50:44We are Pups Palate.
00:50:45We're premium Puppie Nutrition.
00:50:47We are really focused on Puppie Nutrition.
00:50:50I am the founder of Pups Palate.
00:50:52Yeah, please.
00:50:53Like us online and you can order from us.
00:50:55Here's one for you.
00:50:56One for you.
00:50:58We are a local business.
00:51:01Morning, Scarlett.
00:51:04Morning, Gina.
00:51:05Oh, hi, Alex.
00:51:09So, what's this?
00:51:11Well, we're showing Paws and Wellness Emporium why their decision to pull us from the shelves
00:51:15was ridiculous.
00:51:16Ah, I see.
00:51:19Um, I'm not really sure if this sort of thing is allowed out here.
00:51:24Oh, really?
00:51:25What's going to stop us?
00:51:28Well, not me.
00:51:30But I was hoping maybe we can go about this in a more conventional way.
00:51:34Oh, so you have a conventional idea that'll get us back our shelf space?
00:51:39Um, not yet.
00:51:40No.
00:51:41But I am working on it.
00:51:42Well, we can't sit around and wait for conventional inspiration to hit us.
00:51:46We have bills to pay and a business to save.
00:51:50Fair enough.
00:51:52Wow.
00:51:52I really like what you've done here.
00:51:55Oh, you do?
00:51:57Marketing and promotion guru right here.
00:52:01Very clever.
00:52:04All right.
00:52:04Well, um, I'll get out of your way.
00:52:07Yeah, you do that.
00:52:09All right.
00:52:10Oh, we're not stocking on the shelves right now.
00:52:15Gather around, everyone.
00:52:18What we're going to do now is conduct a taste test between Pup's Palate and the leading brand.
00:52:28Remember, the Blue Bull is our competitor, and Red Bull is Pup's Palate's healthy treats.
00:52:39Hi.
00:52:40Come on.
00:52:40Hello, guys.
00:52:42Yeah, there you are.
00:52:44Come on, guys.
00:52:45Come on.
00:52:46Oh, we have to get some.
00:52:50Well, there you have it.
00:52:52Pretty unanimous, I think.
00:52:54Puppies prefer Pup's Palate.
00:52:55So we have some more brochures on how to order from our website.
00:52:59Yeah.
00:53:01Is it good?
00:53:03Very good.
00:53:04Yeah.
00:53:26I'll show it to them.
00:53:29I asked you to hold my calls.
00:53:31I've tried, but Paul Frasca from Pup Check insists he speak with you.
00:53:36I bet I know why.
00:53:37A rep of it said there is an incident unfolding at the Paws on 10th Avenue.
00:53:41You should get down there.
00:53:43Okay, tell Mr. Frasca that I am on my way, and I will call him once I assess the situation.
00:53:48He's on his way there now, too.
00:53:51Wonderful.
00:53:52Then I'll see him there.
00:54:02And you can find all the nutritional information.
00:54:08I'm sorry, Scarlett and Gina, but you're not permitted to sell your product outside our store.
00:54:13Oh, we're not selling anything.
00:54:15We're just promoting our business.
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:17Well, you're not allowed to promote your business here, either.
00:54:20Not without a single event license.
00:54:22And I'm assuming you don't have one of those.
00:54:24Actually, we do.
00:54:27Even with the license, this is private property, and you need permission from corporate, and
00:54:31that I know you don't have, so.
00:54:37Hello.
00:54:38Good morning.
00:54:39How may I help you?
00:54:40I'm here to see Mr. Dunbar.
00:54:41Do you have an appointment?
00:54:43I, uh, no, but this is very important.
00:54:48I'm the manager of his 10th Avenue store.
00:54:50Hmm.
00:54:52Oh.
00:54:52He has a 30-minute slot available June 7th.
00:54:57That's over three months from now.
00:54:59He's usually about six months out.
00:55:02Okay, uh, could I just please get his email?
00:55:06Here's his executive assistant's email.
00:55:09Email him, and he'll forward it along to Mr. Dunbar.
00:55:13Thanks.
00:55:13You're welcome.
00:55:21You're welcome.
00:55:23Ordinance DR-27 of the Swanson County Business District prohibits the sales and or promotion
00:55:28of products on private property without a license and express written consents from the property
00:55:34owner.
00:55:35Please, officer, we're just a startup, and we're running low on funds.
00:55:39Very low.
00:55:39Any extra expense could shut us down for good.
00:55:42I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:55:43The law is the law.
00:55:45Amen, officer.
00:55:46Can't just let people do whatever they want.
00:55:48Otherwise, we'd have anarchy.
00:55:51And who are you?
00:55:52Paul Frasca, director of sales of Pup Chuck.
00:55:56Oh.
00:55:59I'm sorry, Scarlett.
00:56:01I admire the effort, and the taste test was a nice touch, too.
00:56:06Wait, you weren't here for that.
00:56:07Oh, Alex sent me a video.
00:56:10It's a good thing you did, too, or he'd be taking some heat for allowing you to pull this
00:56:14little stunt.
00:56:21All right, Kelly.
00:56:37My cards are maxed, and my bank accounts are in the red.
00:56:41Yeah, we definitely spent more than we anticipated, but we did get some online orders today.
00:56:47How many?
00:56:48Oh, let me see.
00:56:50Um, um, seven boxes.
00:56:55That won't pay the fine.
00:56:58I can't believe Alex reported us.
00:57:00I thought I could trust him.
00:57:04Well, I'm sure we'll get some more orders through.
00:57:07I mean, we talked to a lot of people today, and maybe you could talk to Alex.
00:57:14It's him right now.
00:57:17Why don't you answer it?
00:57:19Amy and I are finished, and I'm not ready to have that talk.
00:57:22Let's face it, Gina.
00:57:24Pup's palate's finished, too.
00:57:50What are you doing here?
00:57:52Uh, well, I came to talk to you.
00:57:55I wish you had let me know you were coming by.
00:57:58Well, I tried, but you won't answer your calls or swan my texts, so I figured I'd come here
00:58:04to talk to you.
00:58:07There's not much left to talk about.
00:58:11Scarlett, I want to help.
00:58:13You don't.
00:58:14I knew better than to trust you instead of relying on myself.
00:58:17What?
00:58:18I know you're the one who got her booth shut down.
00:58:21You told Michelle.
00:58:25I, yeah, I sent her the videos and asked her to, to send them to the executives.
00:58:30So you could wipe your hands clean of any involvement and keep yourself out of trouble.
00:58:33No, no, no, that is not what I meant to do at all.
00:58:36And when they showed up, you were nowhere to be seen.
00:58:39Scarlett, look, I drove to corporate and...
00:58:42You don't want your work-life-balanced lifestyle disrupted by anyone or anything unconventional.
00:58:51What does that mean?
00:58:53You got your rock climbing, your camping, your nature time, your movies, but when it comes
00:58:58to work, you're not someone that's reliable.
00:59:02Not someone that's reliable?
00:59:04No, you're not.
00:59:05And you have to be if you want to achieve any kind of success.
00:59:09Success by whose measure?
00:59:12You know what?
00:59:14Forget it.
00:59:15I'll, I'll let that go.
00:59:16You're upset.
00:59:17And I think you're just trying to start an argument here.
00:59:21Maybe I am.
00:59:23Oh.
00:59:24All right then.
00:59:26Well, maybe if you didn't always focus on work so much and weren't so intense and obsessive
00:59:33about it, can you get better results?
00:59:38Obsessive?
00:59:40That's what you think of me.
00:59:45No.
00:59:47Look, I'm sorry.
00:59:49That's not what I think of you, obviously.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53Obviously.
01:00:00Listen, Scarlett.
01:00:03All I'm saying is if you want to get some things done, there's just different ways to go about
01:00:10it.
01:00:11Because my whole life is collapsing.
01:00:14If I don't come up with a lot of money soon, I'm at risk of losing everything I've worked
01:00:18for.
01:00:19Do you know what that feels like?
01:00:23All right, Scarlett.
01:00:24Just hear me out.
01:00:25No, I can't.
01:00:27I just need some space to figure things out on my own.
01:00:31And one more thing.
01:00:33I don't want to speculate on what may have influenced Michelle's decision, but if she thinks there's
01:00:40anything between us, I want her to know if she's mistaken.
01:00:49I think you should go.
01:00:57I think she's mistaken.
01:01:25Oh boy, I'm gonna be so clean after this.
01:01:29Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:01:31You know you can trust me, right, Mosey?
01:01:38Dry those ears off.
01:01:40There we go.
01:01:44Mmm, whoa.
01:01:48Looking pretty clean there, buddy.
01:01:51Drying off nicely.
01:01:59Oh, well, I'm not ready to get up yet.
01:02:06In fact, I don't think I'm gonna get out of bed at all today.
01:02:17Okay, fine.
01:02:20Come on.
01:02:22Just...
01:02:34None.
01:02:44Ugh.
01:02:47All I've got is this old bag of Popchuck.
01:02:50Can you believe before Pup's Palette, they used to only stock Popchuck?
01:02:54Okay.
01:03:03And they still do.
01:03:09Come on.
01:03:14Go on, one bowl won't hurt you.
01:03:18You'd rather not, huh?
01:03:20I don't blame you.
01:03:21Let's go get you some real food.
01:03:25Hey, did you get that from the recycle bin?
01:03:32Wow, you really like those, don't you?
01:03:37Mmm.
01:03:38You want some more, don't you?
01:03:41Well then, where are they?
01:03:47Been a tough stretch, huh?
01:03:50More than you know.
01:03:51Well, maybe I could put together a small one.
01:03:55That's sweet, Dad, but no.
01:03:58It's my responsibility.
01:04:00I should have chosen a safer career path.
01:04:03Could have been an animal rights attorney or taken any job that was more financially stable.
01:04:09An attorney?
01:04:11Working for someone else?
01:04:13That's not you.
01:04:15You're a free spirit.
01:04:17Just like your mom was.
01:04:19The type of person who sees things and says,
01:04:21there has to be a better way.
01:04:24Trust me.
01:04:25You're doing exactly what you should be doing.
01:04:28Your passions align perfectly with your talents.
01:04:32And sweetheart, that's rare.
01:04:35I only have one suggestion.
01:04:38What's that?
01:04:39Go a little easier on yourself.
01:04:42You've been pushing it for a while now.
01:04:46And just remember, there's a lot more to life than work.
01:04:50I am really proud of all you've done.
01:04:54And your mom would be too.
01:04:57But at the end of the day, we just wanted you to be happy.
01:05:02I know.
01:05:05I love you, Dad.
01:05:07I love you too, sweetheart.
01:05:10I love you too, sweetheart.
01:05:16Maggie.
01:05:20Oh, they're here.
01:05:26It's a miracle.
01:05:30You make me so happy.
01:05:35Aw.
01:05:36Oh, Maggie.
01:05:37I'm so proud of you, Maggie.
01:05:39Oh, good girl.
01:05:42Oh.
01:05:45Oh.
01:05:45Oh, Maggie.
01:05:48I'm so proud of you, Maggie.
01:05:51Oh, good girl.
01:05:58Heard through the rumor, though.
01:06:00PubChuck is looking to sound long-term exclusive with Positive Wellness Emporium.
01:06:04What'd you hear of that?
01:06:05No, I have my sources, boss.
01:06:08Okay, Duke told me.
01:06:09Duke?
01:06:10Yeah, okay.
01:06:11He was, uh, he was up at corporate, overheard Michelle talking to the PubChuck guy.
01:06:16He's gonna present a contract to Lee Dunbar at the executive meeting this week.
01:06:21Okay, I can't let that happen.
01:06:22Mm-hmm.
01:06:42Hello.
01:06:43Good evening, Mr. Townsend.
01:06:44My name's Alex.
01:06:46I got Mosey from you.
01:06:48Oh, yeah.
01:06:49You sent me some photos of Mosey a few months back.
01:06:52Yeah, I did.
01:06:53That was kind of you.
01:06:55How's Mosey doing?
01:06:56Is everything okay?
01:06:57Oh, yeah.
01:06:58He's doing great.
01:06:59Uh, but this isn't about Mosey.
01:07:02It's about your daughter.
01:07:05Do you wanna come in?
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:14Well, Scarlett told me she'd met a real nice fella who'd bought one of our puppies.
01:07:19She did?
01:07:20Oh, sure.
01:07:21In fact, she's talked about you quite a lot lately.
01:07:24She seemed to really like you.
01:07:27But that sure changed in a hurry.
01:07:30Yeah.
01:07:54Well, with her business going so well one minute, then crashing the next, you know, poor Scarlett's been through a
01:08:00lot.
01:08:02And that fine for the booth was excessive.
01:08:05I know.
01:08:06You know, and I've already submitted an appeal to the county to get it waived.
01:08:13Listen, Mr. Townsend.
01:08:17I just want you to know I'm here for two reasons.
01:08:20First, I think your daughter's product is incredible.
01:08:24I believe in it so much I'm willing to go around my boss and take it directly to the CEO.
01:08:29I already tried to talk with him the day that Scarlett's booth was shut down.
01:08:33But he is a hard man to get a hold of.
01:08:36Well, it sounds like National Provisions has a monopoly on shelf space.
01:08:41And your bosses protect that for them.
01:08:43Mm-hmm.
01:08:43How are you going to change anyone's mind?
01:08:46I have an idea.
01:08:48But Scarlett won't talk to me.
01:08:51So I'm asking you to talk to her for me.
01:08:58That's a possibility, I suppose.
01:09:03So what's the other reason you stopped by?
01:09:09Uh, well, that's a little more personal.
01:09:15And I just want to say, since you're helping me out, my intentions are completely sincere.
01:09:23The truth is, I've never met anyone like your daughter, sir.
01:09:30She just has this beautiful glow to her.
01:09:34Her energy is infectious.
01:09:37Whenever I'm not with her, I just, I can't stop thinking about her.
01:09:42I know she's not happy with me right now.
01:09:46But I'm just hoping she just gives me a chance to make it right.
01:09:58I'm thinking about it.
01:10:04Well.
01:10:08I'll give you two some privacy.
01:10:18Scarlett, you put a lot of faith in me.
01:10:20And I should have been a better partner.
01:10:28No, you were right.
01:10:29I shouldn't have gotten on you about work-life balance.
01:10:33I could use a little balance in my own life.
01:10:36I'm sorry I got on you about it.
01:10:39I was really emotional and jumping to conclusions.
01:10:43I was totally out of line.
01:10:46Do you think, um, we could maybe take another shot at this?
01:10:52Another shot at what?
01:10:55Scarlett, you got me.
01:10:59I'm all in on this.
01:11:02I'm all in on us.
01:11:04I'm all in on us too.
01:11:14What was your idea exactly?
01:11:17We're gonna go crash the executive meeting.
01:11:23No problem.
01:11:32Good morning.
01:11:34Hi Duke.
01:11:36We're here to see Lee Dunbar and the executive team.
01:11:38They're in a meeting.
01:11:40Yes, that's why we're here.
01:11:44I don't have a message from Mr. Dunbar about any additional participants.
01:11:48Well, that's because it's confidential.
01:11:51You see, they're thinking about replacing Duke Here's the company mascot.
01:11:57Oh.
01:11:58Yeah.
01:11:59They're considering a ferret named Ralph's.
01:12:02A ferret?
01:12:04I know, right?
01:12:06Some of the executives aren't keen on the ADA either.
01:12:08That's why they called us in.
01:12:10So if you could please us to keep it quiet.
01:12:12The press has been, you know, sniffing around.
01:12:14We don't want this to leak out.
01:12:16As you know, Duke's a really big hit with the kids.
01:12:21Of course.
01:12:22Secret safe with me.
01:12:23What?
01:12:24Go on, Aaron.
01:12:37Alex?
01:12:37Keep going.
01:12:39Alex, what are you doing?
01:12:41I need to speak with the executive team.
01:12:43They're in a meeting.
01:12:44In the conference room, right?
01:12:46Yes.
01:12:47Perfect.
01:12:48Alex, you can't go in there.
01:12:51Good morning.
01:12:52We're here to review the latest proposal from Pup Shack.
01:12:56Paul, the room's yours.
01:12:58Well, I think everything in the proposal is kind of self-explanatory.
01:13:03So if you just turn to page three...
01:13:06What's going on?
01:13:07Let's do this.
01:13:08Oh, yeah.
01:13:12Hi.
01:13:13Excuse me.
01:13:14We're in the middle of a meeting here.
01:13:16How can we help you?
01:13:17Actually, Mr. Dunbar, sir, I think we can actually help you.
01:13:23Now, if I could just get your signature...
01:13:25I'm listening.
01:13:29Mr. Dunbar.
01:13:30Sir, my name is Alex Paulson, and I'm the general manager of your 10th Avenue store.
01:13:34And I'm Scarlett Townsend, the founder of Pup's Palate Healthy Treats.
01:13:37Seriously, if we could just put an end to this clown show and get back to this...
01:13:42I'd like to hear what they have to say.
01:13:43Thank you, Mr. Dunbar.
01:13:45This is the nutritional information which is miles ahead of any other brand.
01:13:51One serving promotes 100% of the 22 most essential vitamins and minerals of puppy needs.
01:13:58And when our store sold Pup's Palate, it outsold Pup Chuck three to one.
01:14:06Well, I'd like to see the numbers to verify that.
01:14:09Then why was it pulled from the shelves?
01:14:12Well, sir, I think that's a question for someone else in this room.
01:14:29Oh, my goodness!
01:14:33Are you seeing this?
01:14:38Are you believing this?
01:14:43Is this your video?
01:14:44No.
01:14:45No, I think it was posted by someone who was at your booth.
01:14:49They hashtag Pup's Palate and Paws and Wellness.
01:14:54And best dog treats ever.
01:14:57Oh, my goodness!
01:15:04Here you are! Here you are!
01:15:07Oh, have you seen this?
01:15:10Well, I don't trust social media.
01:15:14I mean, and look, our relationship with Paws and Wellness Emporium is strong.
01:15:19And to re-up our wonderful partnership, I just need you to sign this contract, making Pup Chuck your exclusive
01:15:25provider.
01:15:26I mean, the numbers work, Lee.
01:15:28You're not going to find a retail profit margin as healthy as ours with any other product, guaranteed.
01:15:34Well, you make a good point, Paul.
01:15:37But we've got to ask ourselves, what's more important?
01:15:40A healthy profit line?
01:15:44Or a healthy puppy?
01:15:47These?
01:15:49They even smell good.
01:16:05Oh!
01:16:07Baby, what are you doing here?
01:16:11Didn't you smell these from all the way down the hall?
01:16:19I think the customer's clearly spoken.
01:16:24Hi, Paul.
01:16:31You two think you're pretty clever barging in like that.
01:16:34But this isn't over, not by a long shot.
01:16:38Nobody muscles Pup Chuck off the shelf.
01:16:41You'll be hearing from me.
01:16:42Here's where you can reach me.
01:16:45Well, we have to get you back to work.
01:16:47You have a lot of shelf space to fill.
01:16:59I've been working since I was a teenager to create something like this.
01:17:03It's literally a dream come true.
01:17:04Well, you certainly deserve it.
01:17:06Best part?
01:17:07Dogs across the country are healthier than ever.
01:17:10You know what I love most about you?
01:17:13You're the rare business person who genuinely cares about doing what's right above all else.
01:17:18Maybe it'll catch on.
01:17:19I hope so.
01:17:25I'm a delivery. I gotta go.
01:17:28See ya.
01:17:29Bye.
01:17:29See you, Gina.
01:17:31Bye.
01:17:36Bye.
01:17:53Wow.
01:17:55Well.
01:17:57Well, well, well.
01:17:59Paul Frasca.
01:18:00Director of Sales at Pup Chuck.
01:18:02Nice to see you both again.
01:18:03You might remember him as the guy who shut our booth down.
01:18:07Of course.
01:18:09Days gone by, as they say.
01:18:12Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you both on your tremendous success.
01:18:16Whew.
01:18:17This is, uh, this is quite an operation you have going.
01:18:20I'm sorry. We have a big shipment to send out.
01:18:21May I ask why you're here?
01:18:23Oh, I suppose I should get right to the point.
01:18:26Uh...
01:18:31This is a business purchase agreement.
01:18:35Excuse me?
01:18:37We'd like to acquire Pup's Palette.
01:18:39Now, before you say anything, why don't you have a look at page seven?
01:18:43You'll see at the top the amount that we're willing to pay to purchase your business.
01:18:51Uh...
01:18:51Well, that's... that's a big number.
01:18:53Indeed it is.
01:18:54But we also think fair based on the quality and the popularity of your product.
01:19:00What's the rest of this say?
01:19:01Oh, the rest of it just consists of, uh, legal machinations that effectively create an ironclad agreement for a buyer,
01:19:08us, to acquire the ownership from the seller, in this case you, at the agreed upon purchase price.
01:19:15Thereby, upon signatures and transfers of funds to the seller, the buyer takes full and complete control of your business,
01:19:23including all intellectual property in perpetuity.
01:19:26I'm no legal expert, but does that mean you can change the name? The recipe, even?
01:19:31Well, I mean, it does mean that Pup's Palette is ours to do with whatever we wish.
01:19:35And if we find ways to cut costs, sell more product, boost our profit margin, well, we will.
01:19:42After all, we are in the business of making money.
01:19:46Thank you, Mr. Profit Obsessed Executive.
01:19:52You can just call me Paul.
01:19:54But I think we'll keep our product in the hands of people who prioritize puppies over profit.
01:20:01But you see what we're offering, right?
01:20:04You heard her. We're not selling.
01:20:24Oh, oh, no. Bella, that was not supposed to happen.
01:20:34Uh, what in the world is my beautiful fiancé up to?
01:20:38I'm working on a temporary, all-natural, biodegradable and washable colored dye for pepper.
01:20:43Uh, why?
01:20:45Why not?
01:20:47You know what?
01:20:48You know what? You do you.
01:20:51Are you, uh, ready to go?
01:20:53It looks like you could use some time in nature.
01:20:56I think I'm gonna need a couple of minutes.
01:20:58What do you think, Bella?
01:21:01She agrees?
01:21:04Come on, Bella.
01:21:04There we go.
01:21:07Let's go.
01:21:08There you go.
01:21:10Good job, guys.
01:21:12Okay.
01:21:21Mm-hmm.
01:21:23I know. We still have to carry it, so.
01:21:26But look at this and this.
01:21:29We're gonna be back on Monday.
01:21:30If you need to reach me, just don't worry.
01:21:32We got it covered.
01:21:34You two enjoy yourselves.
01:21:35Have a good meet, Jan.
01:21:36Thanks.
01:21:37See you on Monday, Duke.
01:21:39Hi, Pa.
01:21:41Oh, yeah.
01:21:52Hello, guys.
01:21:56That one.
01:22:02Nice.
01:22:05Here.
01:22:06Cheers.
01:22:11Cheers.
01:22:12Cheers.
01:22:24Cheers.
