Short filmTranscript
00:03My best friend and I opened this joint a year ago.
00:06We cleared a million in profit, but he tossed me ten grand.
00:11Chad, we agreed on 50-50.
00:14What is this?
00:15Bro, be realistic.
00:17I just bought that luxury mansion, and I fronted the cash for this place.
00:2150-50 doesn't make sense anymore.
00:23Looking at that smirk, I don't even recognize the guy who begged me to save his ass a year ago.
00:28Man, I am going under.
00:29You've got that killer sauce recipe.
00:31Help a bro out.
00:32We split everything 50-50.
00:36We had a deal.
00:38I run the kitchen.
00:39You run the front.
00:40You don't just change the terms after you strike gold.
00:43Please.
00:44Burger flippers are a dime a dozen.
00:48Chad is paying you exactly what you are worth.
00:50You should be thanking him instead of getting greedy.
00:54I walked away from a steady gig for this.
00:57I do the work of three guys.
00:59I'm using my own recipes.
01:00Chill, Chloe.
01:01Mike's my boy.
01:02Look, man.
01:03Between the new mansion and the wedding, I am tapped out.
01:05Grind it out this year, and I'll make it right the next week.
01:08Promise.
01:08Chad, I need this cash for Lily's college fund.
01:14Emma and I have been married five years, and I've given her nothing but a struggle.
01:19I won't let my kids suffer, too.
01:21Please.
01:22A public school is perfectly fine for a kid like yours.
01:26You're just a burger flicker, Mike.
01:27Not a hedge fund manager.
01:30And Emma stays home.
01:31Let's be real.
01:32Your daughter is destined for community college.
01:35Hey, my girl's blunt, but she's got a point.
01:38If the kid's got brains, she'll survive anywhere.
01:41Like I said, keep grinding this year, and I'll hook you up next time.
01:47Out of contract, he holds all the cards.
01:50Pushing it now just starts a war I can't afford.
01:55Oh, hey, come by the new mansion tomorrow night.
01:58Having the old frat brothers over to celebrate.
02:00Bring Emma.
02:01Yeah, sure.
02:08Hey, babe.
02:10Late rush at the joint?
02:16It was payday.
02:19Wait, ten grand?
02:21Didn't the place clear a million dollars this year?
02:23Chad says since he fronted the lease and the remodel,
02:26I'm just a burger flicker.
02:28He actually thinks he's doing me a favor.
02:34I knew he might play dirty, but this,
02:36this is just sick.
02:44I'm a failure.
02:46I can't even scrape together a 50 grand college fund for our own kid.
02:55Stop it.
02:57You are the heart of that place.
02:59Those lines out the door, they're for your burgers, not his money.
03:03What does it matter?
03:04I haven't taken a single day off in a year.
03:08I've flipped over 100,000 burgers,
03:10sweating over that grill for 16 hours a day.
03:13And for what?
03:14I'd literally make more driving an Uber.
03:19You're just too trusting.
03:22But that honest heart is exactly why I married you.
03:27Babe, you really don't blame me for screwing this up.
03:31Never.
03:32Live and learn.
03:33What's our next move?
03:34Chad's toxic.
03:36He hasn't lifted a finger all year,
03:38and he expects me to kiss the ring.
03:40I'm better off taking my secret sauce and going solo.
03:43Do it.
03:44I've got your back.
03:45100%.
03:46But we've been bros since college.
03:48If I walk, that bridge is burned.
03:50Then talk to him tomorrow.
03:52Clear the air.
03:52If he agrees to a real 50-50 split next year,
03:55we stay.
03:56But this time we get it in writing.
03:59All right.
04:00The frat reunion is at his housewarming party tomorrow.
04:02I'll pull him aside.
04:11Yo, Mike.
04:12You didn't have to bring anything, man.
04:15The new place is gorgeous, Chad.
04:17Congratulations.
04:20Well, well.
04:21Let's see what the big partner brought us.
04:25Homebrewed beer?
04:26Seriously, Mike?
04:27Did you ferment this in your bathtub?
04:29We're drinking Cristal tonight,
04:30and you bring us moonshine?
04:33Honestly, I'm embarrassed for you.
04:34Dude, Chad made you rich this year.
04:36You're a partner making bank,
04:37and you show up with homemade booze?
04:40That's just cheap, man.
04:42Hey, take it easy, guys.
04:43It's the thought that counts.
04:45I don't judge my bros for being budget conscious.
04:48Seriously, though, Chad.
04:50What was the payout?
04:51Don't be shy.
04:52Give us a number.
04:54Let's keep the business talk away from the pool, all right?
04:5810,000.
04:59Out of a million-dollar profit,
05:01my total take-home for the year was exactly 10 grand.
05:04What?
05:05I thought you guys were 50-50.
05:06Even a server at a diner clears 40 or 50 grand a year.
05:09Oh, please.
05:10Being a partner with Chad makes Mike a boss, technically.
05:13Working for someone else makes him a wage slave.
05:15The status is completely different.
05:17Exactly.
05:18If I didn't let him ride my coattails, he'd be nowhere.
05:21Don't sweat it, Mike.
05:22I've got you.
05:22You won't starve on my watch.
05:25Looking at this guy I used to call a brother,
05:27I just feel sick.
05:29It's time to end this charade.
05:32Chad, we need to have a serious talk about the business.
05:34What's there to talk about?
05:37Actually, hold that thought.
05:38My guests are starving.
05:40Hey, Mike, be a pal and fire up the grill for us.
05:43Excuse me?
05:46What are you staring at?
05:47Get to work.
05:48You're the burger boy, right?
05:49You expect us to cook for ourselves?
05:51I thought I was a guest, finally getting a day off.
05:54I never thought I'd be treated like the hired help.
05:56He takes my money and still expects me to do the heavy lifting.
06:04Girls, look at this rock Chad just got me.
06:06Over 50 grand.
06:08Honestly, it's so heavy it actually hurts.
06:11He totally spoils me.
06:12Not like some of the clueless losers.
06:14So, Emma,
06:17you and Mike have been married for five years now.
06:20He must have showered you in jewelry.
06:24It's only $1,200.
06:26The most affordable piece in the case.
06:28Let's get it, babe.
06:30We've been married all this time.
06:32I can't have you walking around without a decent piece of jewelry.
06:36Save the cash for the business.
06:38Once the burger giant takes off,
06:40we'll upgrade.
06:43Can I just see that plain metal band,
06:44the $120 one?
06:53Let's raise a glass to our host,
06:55to Chad,
06:56for the invite
06:56and for his empire growing even bigger this year.
07:04Mommy,
07:05when is Daddy going to sit with us?
07:08Hey, Mike, chop chop.
07:09Don't keep everyone waiting on you.
07:13Coming.
07:16Listen, Mike.
07:18You came from nothing.
07:20Chad's doing you a massive favor keeping you around.
07:22Keep your head down,
07:23flip the burgers,
07:24and maybe he'll keep throwing you scraps.
07:28Right then, it hit me.
07:29To them, I was never a partner.
07:31I was a fool,
07:32a workhorse,
07:33cheap labor.
07:35I made my decision right there to go solo.
07:38I wanted to see if Chad was really a boss
07:40without me.
07:42I'll drink to that,
07:44to expanding the empire,
07:47expanding the empire.
07:49Cheers.
07:52Seriously, Chad,
07:53this zip code is legendary.
07:55You're right by all the elite private schools,
07:57aren't you?
07:58Exactly.
07:59I've already secured a spot for my future kids.
08:02It's an investment in their pedigree.
08:04Mike, what about your daughter?
08:05I heard the public school in your area is,
08:07well, pretty rough.
08:09Oh, Chad,
08:10don't be so insensitive.
08:12Mike's busy enough just trying to pay rent.
08:14He can't afford to worry about elite education yet.
08:19Let's go.
08:20Hey, Mike, hold up.
08:22Chloe and I are flying to Vegas this weekend.
08:24You hold down the fort.
08:25Grease traps backed up at the shop.
08:27Don't call a plumber.
08:28I'm not wasting 200 an hour.
08:31Get under there and fix it yourself.
08:32Call it sweat equity.
08:35What, what, what's with the look?
08:37Nothing.
08:38See ya.
08:47Babe,
08:48I completely humiliated you today.
08:52Mike,
08:53I don't mind roughing it,
08:54and I couldn't care less about their BS.
08:56But I can't live without hope.
08:59Let's go solo.
09:00I know you can do this.
09:02But we can't afford to lose.
09:04What if it goes south?
09:06If we go broke,
09:07we'll flip burgers on the street.
09:08As long as we're a team,
09:09we'll be fine.
09:12Alright.
09:13We're doing it.
09:14We're going solo.
09:21What are you crunching?
09:24We have exactly 10 grand.
09:26Pay off 6 in credit card debt,
09:28hold back 3 for rent,
09:29and Lily's tuition,
09:30we're left with a thousand bucks.
09:32That's nothing.
09:33In LA,
09:34a thousand ranks doesn't even cover
09:36health department permits,
09:37let alone a decent food truck.
09:39We're dead in the water.
09:44Where did you get this?
09:45After dropping Lily off,
09:46I hit the pawn shop.
09:47I sold my grandmother's vintage ring.
09:51But that was a family heirloom.
09:54With this cash,
09:55we have enough to open our own joint.
09:57Don't stress, babe.
10:01When you make it big,
10:02you can buy me a massive diamond.
10:06Yeah.
10:08I swear it.
10:09Wait.
10:09Aren't you the chef
10:10from that burger joint
10:12across the street?
10:12You guys are booming.
10:14Why rent my bankrupt spot?
10:16Expanding?
10:16I'm starting my own place.
10:18Let's do a deal on the rent.
10:1938K for the year.
10:2138 works.
10:22It's a tough spot anyway.
10:24You're the only guy
10:25making money around here.
10:26If I had a partner like you,
10:28I'd still be open.
10:29Let's sign the lease today.
10:31Done.
10:31The kitchen gear was still here.
10:34To save cash,
10:35I painted the place myself.
10:37Taking this step
10:38that made me realize
10:41nothing changes
10:41until you have the guts
10:42to walk away from the abuse.
10:53Hello?
10:54Mike,
10:55is that grease trap fixed yet?
10:56Not yet.
10:58Why isn't it done?
10:59You slacking off
11:00just because I'm not breathing
11:01down your neck?
11:02Remember,
11:03we're partners.
11:04If we're partners,
11:05what exactly are you doing?
11:07I'm taking my fiancee to Vegas
11:10and my new Porsche.
11:12Do you have any idea
11:13how bad the market is?
11:14The industry is a blood blath.
11:16Burger flitters are a dime a dozen.
11:18Without me,
11:19you'd be on the street
11:20and your kid would be on food stamps.
11:22The money completely blinded him.
11:24Ever since he got that mansion
11:26and the Porsche,
11:27he thinks he's a god
11:28and I'm just his peasant.
11:31Look,
11:32maybe I was harsh
11:33but it's for your own good.
11:34Just keep flipping burgers.
11:36The pipes can wait
11:37till I get back.
11:38Okay.
11:39When you get back,
11:40I've got a massive surprise
11:41waiting for you.
11:45Babe,
11:46you're the boss
11:47and he's just the help.
11:48Why do you coddle him?
11:49Just fire the loser already.
11:51You don't get it.
11:53The guy's a genius
11:54with the sauce.
11:55I have to keep him
11:56on a short leash.
11:57It's a burger joint, Chad.
11:58Anyone can flip a patty.
12:00My brother needs a job.
12:02Put him in the kitchen
12:03and show Mike his replaceable.
12:04Yeah.
12:05It's time to knock him down a peg
12:07before he gets too big
12:08for his boots.
12:12All set.
12:13Don't see many owners
12:14getting their hands dirty like this.
12:16You've got hustle, man.
12:17This place is going to blow up.
12:19Appreciate it.
12:20Just trying to save
12:21every penny right now.
12:23Come by for a burger
12:24once we open.
12:24It's on the house.
12:27Bet.
12:27I'll be there.
12:32Mom, Dad,
12:34isn't the Porsche incredible?
12:35Told you Chad was a high roller.
12:38Impressive, Chad.
12:39But a local burger joint
12:40is small time.
12:42If you want to marry my daughter,
12:43you need a real empire.
12:45Don't worry, sir.
12:46Give me one more year
12:47to stack some cash
12:48and I'm taking this franchise national.
12:51Chloe mentioned you have a partner.
12:53Some guy named Mike.
12:55Partner, please.
12:56That's just for show.
12:57He's just a burger flipper
12:58on my payroll.
13:03My place is always packed.
13:07Why the hell is it closed?
13:09Useless trash.
13:10I look as wide for one second
13:12and he ghosts.
13:13I'm firing his ass
13:14the second I see him.
13:15Wait.
13:15Didn't that place
13:16across the street go under?
13:17Looks like someone
13:18already moved in.
13:21Mike Donald, no way.
13:22a lot of people's eyes are
13:26You're out of love.
13:33Oh, my God.
13:36Oh, my God.
13:38I have to do this.
13:39I am.
13:39Oh, my God.
13:40Oh, my God.
13:41Oh, my God.
13:42Oh, my God.
13:44Oh, my God.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:48Oh, my God.
13:49Oh, my God.
13:55Mike, what the hell are you doing?
13:57Don't tell me this dump belongs to you.
13:59It's mine.
14:00You spent the whole party acting like the generous boss who made me rich.
14:05Well, since I'm so loaded now, I decided to open my own spot.
14:09Want to be my first customer?
14:11Or is your wallet as empty as your promises?
14:13What is this?
14:14You open a rival shop?
14:16What about our partnership?
14:17I tried to tell you at the party, but you were too busy listening to yourself talk.
14:21I'm officially out.
14:22Go find yourself another burger flipper.
14:24Are you kidding me?
14:26We've been brothers for years, and you're stabbing me in the back like this?
14:29I'm not playing you, Chad.
14:31But if I stay with you, my family starves.
14:33$10,000 doesn't pay the bills, and it definitely won't put my daughter to college.
14:37We had a deal.
14:38This is our business.
14:40You're making a move like this without even talking to me.
14:43Partnership.
14:44When did you ever treat me like an equal?
14:45In your eyes, I was just cheap labor.
14:50Oh, spare me the victim act.
14:52Chad did you a massive favor by giving you a job, and you throw it back in his face?
14:57$10,000 is the market rate for a burger flipper, Mike?
15:01Stop acting so entitled.
15:03Last year, you were the one begging me to quit my high-end gig and save your pathetic ass.
15:07You promised 50-50.
15:09I worked 16-hour shifts, handled the supplies, and bled for that recipe while you were out partying.
15:13I didn't complain once.
15:15And this is how you repay me?
15:17Bro, just listen to me.
15:18I fell for your BS.
15:19We cleared a million dollars in profit.
15:21I broke my back for you, and you tossed me $10,000 like I was a beggar.
15:24Honestly, if you'd given me even 30%, I probably would have stayed for the sake of our history.
15:27But you didn't treat me like a brother.
15:29You treat me like a fool.
15:30We're finished.
15:32I'm done being your doormat.
15:34Is he serious?
15:35You made a million bucks, and you paid him $10,000?
15:37Man, that's ruthless.
15:39You swore this was your empire.
15:41You're full of hot air, Chad.
15:43Not a single word of truth.
15:47We're leaving, Chloe.
15:48This guy's a fraud.
15:50The wedding is off.
15:51Sir, wait!
15:52Don't listen to him.
15:53He's just greedy.
16:04You think you're special, Mike?
16:05Look at yourself.
16:06You're a broke loser who can't even afford a college fund.
16:09You have nothing.
16:10You think you can run a shop without my money?
16:12Good luck.
16:13Your place was a graveyard until I showed up.
16:16And as for your investment, I was the one doing the heavy lifting.
16:20I was a fool to think brotherhood meant anything to you.
16:22But without my recipe, your joint is just an empty shell.
16:25Let's see how long you last.
16:28Mark my words!
16:29This place is going to be huge without you!
16:31You'll be bankrupt and begging on the street by next month!
16:34Just wait!
16:36Sir, ma'am, ignore him.
16:38He's just an ungrateful snake biting the hand that needs him.
16:40I'm hiring a world-class chef tomorrow.
16:43We're going to make millions!
16:44This is just the beginning!
16:46Exactly.
16:46I've been telling Chad to fire that loser for months.
16:49Who does he think he is?
16:50My brother takes over tomorrow.
16:51He's an actual pro, Mike.
16:53He's going to cook circles around you.
16:57Chad and his fret bros are blowing up the alumni group chat.
17:01Spreading rumors that I stole his recipes.
17:03The rest of the sheep are just jumping on on the bandwagon,
17:06dragging my name through the mud.
17:07It's sickening.
17:16Still letting those toxic losers get in your head?
17:19Chad and his crew are destroying my reputation in that group.
17:22I didn't think those guys could stoop this low.
17:25Babe, did I mess up?
17:26Should I have cleared the air with them sooner?
17:28He tried at the party, but his ego got in the way.
17:32Look, if they're willing to turn on you over one stupid rumor,
17:35the truth doesn't matter to them anyway.
17:38You don't owe them an explanation.
17:40But right now, to the whole alumni network, I look like absolute trash.
17:45Honey, once this place takes off and you show them what you've got,
17:49everything changes.
17:51Success is the best revenge.
17:56Emma, did you just...
17:58Left the group cutting out the cancer.
18:00From now on, we only focus on us.
18:02Get some sleep.
18:03You've got this.
18:04The whole world thinks I'm a joke, but you never doubt me.
18:09For you and Lily,
18:11I'm going to make this work.
18:13I'll build us an empire they can't even fathom.
18:16I promise.
18:19It's the middle of the lunch rush,
18:20and we have exactly two tables.
18:24It's day one, babe.
18:26It takes time.
18:28But we funded this with your grandma's pond ring.
18:30If I can't even make that back...
18:43Hey, don't lose heart.
18:44The beginning is always the hardest part.
18:47Maybe I should run some Instagram ads,
18:49pay a foodie influencer for a review.
18:51We need to get on the map.
18:52We don't need that.
18:54The burgers speak for themselves.
18:55We're a little off the beaten path.
18:57But once word of mouth hits about your secret sauce,
19:00they'll be lining up around the block.
19:01Just give it time.
19:11Mom, what are you doing here?
19:15Brad told me Mike quit his job to open this dump.
19:18I had to see the train wreck for myself.
19:21Hi, Mom.
19:22Do not call me Mom, you delusional loser.
19:24You lied about being a partner.
19:26You were just a glorified burger flipper.
19:28Emma hasn't had a single decent day since she married you.
19:31And now, two tables.
19:32If this place tanks, you are divorcing her immediately.
19:35I warned you, Mrs. Davis.
19:40The guy's bottom of the carriage.
19:42If Emma had chosen me,
19:43she wouldn't be standing in this dump.
19:50Look at me, Mike.
19:51I just made VP at a top Wall Street firm.
19:56Here's 50 grand in cash.
19:58Take it, close this pathetic dump,
20:00and sign the divorce papers.
20:02Emma belongs in a temblow in a penthouse.
20:06Not breathing in your cheap grease.
20:09You're just dragging her down.
20:12The guilt was eating me alive.
20:14None of them remembered I was the poorest kid in our class.
20:18After my dad died,
20:19my mom's medical bills wiped us out.
20:22I spent my 20s juggling hospitals and dead-end jobs
20:25just to keep us afloat.
20:26I didn't have the luxury to build a career.
20:29But the world doesn't care about your struggles.
20:32In this life,
20:33success is the only thing that talks.
20:54Keep your filthy money, Brad.
20:58I chose Mike,
20:59and I don't regret a single second of it.
21:03This is none of your damn business.
21:07Emma!
21:08Have you lost your mind?
21:10He's dragging you into the gutter!
21:15Stop it, Mom.
21:16I am absolutely not divorcing him.
21:21I believe in Mike.
21:25With his talent,
21:26he's going to build a restaurant empire.
21:29Just watch us.
21:32Here you go, guys.
21:34Enjoy.
21:38Chef, this burger is unreal.
21:40Puts that chain garbage to shame.
21:41Fresh beef, killer sauce.
21:42We'll see you tomorrow.
21:43Appreciate that, man.
21:45Next order of signature-loaded fries is on the house.
21:50Ha, knew it.
21:51I told them to join across the street swap chefs.
21:55The real talent went solo.
21:57Hey, good to see you.
21:59Grab a seat.
22:00Took some friends to the old spot yesterday,
22:02and it tasted like garbage.
22:05Figured you must have walked.
22:08Finally, a real burger.
22:11The usual?
22:14You actually remember.
22:19Of course.
22:21Double patty, no pickles.
22:23Extra secret grilled onions.
22:28I'll throw in a couple of new specialties on the house.
22:35You're the man.
22:44Don't let the size fool you.
22:45This kid's the real deal.
22:47Just wonder why he suddenly jumped ship.
23:02Hey, boss.
23:03This tastes completely off.
23:06Did you lose your chef?
23:10Uh, yeah.
23:12I had to let him go.
23:16Are you crazy?
23:18The guy was a wizard in the kitchen.
23:21Why would you fire him?
23:26This is literally inedible.
23:28Hey, I just saw the old chef's new spot right across the street.
23:33Mike Donald, let's get a refund and go there.
23:39Let's get a refund and go there.
23:39I'm in.
23:40Let's go.
23:41Wait, wait.
23:42Wait, don't go there.
23:43The guy's a scam artist.
23:44He uses expired scrap meat.
23:46Uh, you'll get food poisoning.
23:51I drove 40 miles for his secret sauce.
23:55This crap you serve is an insult.
23:58The guy's a scam artist.
23:58Move!
23:59Move!
24:17I pay you to cook, not stare at your phone.
24:20The place is dead.
24:22What do you expect me to do?
24:25Watch your mouth.
24:26I'm Chloe's brother.
24:28I'm only in this dump because you begged me.
24:31Plus, your grill is trash.
24:38Look at this mess.
24:40You burned everything.
24:42Half the dining room already walked out and demanded refunds.
24:46I'm paying you the exact same rate as Mike.
24:49Are you blind to the garbage you're serving?
24:51Every minimum wage joint in L.A. gives you a prep cook.
24:54I'm doing two jobs for peanuts.
24:57No idea how Mike put up with your B.S.
25:00If I get you a prep cook, can you actually replicate Mike's flavor?
25:03Wake up, Chad.
25:04Everyone knows Mike's recipes are God's day.
25:07It's pure talent.
25:08He built that sauce from scratch.
25:10If I had his chops, you think I'd be flipping burgers in your dumps?
25:20Mike, you backstabbing snake.
25:23I will end you.
25:25Thanks to Mike's killer recipe and pure hustle, word spread like wildfire.
25:31Even Emma's snobby mother did a complete 180, trading her attitude for an apron.
25:40Business is insane.
25:42The lunch rush is over and we're still packed.
25:44We need Waitmans now.
25:47Babe, are you sure?
25:48Good help in L.A. isn't cheap.
25:50You're the boss, Mike.
25:52Your call.
25:56Let's do it.
25:59You and mom are dead on your feet and you still have to pick up Lily.
26:03Honey, this place is just the beginning.
26:06With your talent and integrity, you're destined for the big leagues.
26:11You're going to build an empire.
26:23Chef Mike, lines around the block out there.
26:27Got room for us?
26:28For you, always.
26:30Save the best booth for you.
26:33Perfect.
26:34Hit us with the works today.
26:36Double patties, secret sauce, load them up.
27:05Why aren't you fighting back, though?
27:08With that level of slander, you could easily sue for defamation.
27:13Not worth the legal fees.
27:15Let the haters hate.
27:17The burgers speak for themselves.
27:21Karma never misses.
27:36Keep grinding, son.
27:40Don't see many young guys with your kind of integrity these days.
27:47Appreciate it, sir.
28:16Mike!
28:19Those hovers just walked out on the bill.
28:22It's fine, Mom.
28:24Fine, that's a massive tab.
28:25Call the cops on them right now.
28:27Grab your phone.
28:28It's fine, Mom.
28:29He's a regular.
28:30We'll just put it on his tab and settle up next time.
28:33Settle up next time.
28:35What if they never come back?
28:39He's not the type to dine and dash.
28:41They were deep in a business meeting, probably just slipped his mind.
28:44I'm not going to chase him into the parking lot like a common thief over some burgers.
28:48You run a business, not a charity.
28:52You're way too naive.
28:54When he ghosts you, you'll learn the hard way.
29:02Mike, guess what we netted in our first ten days?
29:06Well, with the lunch and dinner rushes, we're flipping over 200 burgers a day.
29:12I don't know.
29:14Maybe we cleared five grand.
29:16Too conservative.
29:17We're averaging about three grand a day in sales.
29:20After food costs, utilities, rent, we netted exactly ten grand.
29:28Try ten grand.
29:30Mike, you made in ten days what you made slubbing away for Chad for an entire year.
29:37Ten grand.
29:39Mike.
29:40We did it, babe.
29:42You did it.
29:51Mike.
29:52You're here.
29:54What do you want?
29:56Bro, I'm facing massive default penalties.
29:59I'm going under.
30:00Please forgive me.
30:01Come back.
30:02Mike, I swear, this time it's a real 50-50 split.
30:05Deal?
30:06Not going to happen.
30:08I'm doing just fine on my own.
30:10Mike, you can't just leave me to die.
30:12Without you, my spot is literally crashing and burning.
30:15Nobody's walking through that door.
30:16Remember the pool party?
30:18You said I was just a $10,000 burger flipper.
30:20Replaceable.
30:22You said the world keeps spinning without me.
30:24Guess what?
30:25It does.
30:26And I'm doing just fine without a frat boy CEO.
30:31You arrogant piece of trash!
30:33You think flipping burgers makes you a god?
30:35Watch your back!
30:37I'll bounce back and crush you!
30:48What are you doing with the luggage?
30:51Move.
30:53You're in my way.
30:55You're walking out on me?
30:59Duh.
31:00You're completely broke.
31:02You expect me to still marry you?
31:04Are you delusional?
31:06It's been a few bad weeks and you're already bailing.
31:09You're defaulting on this house.
31:12Bank is literally coming for your Porsche.
31:14You expect me to starve in the streets with you?
31:18Don't blame me for being realistic.
31:20Call me when you actually make some real money.
31:23Maybe I'll consider it.
31:24You can't do this.
31:25We're supposed to be a power couple.
31:27Look at Emma.
31:27She's stuck with Mike through five years of being dirt poor.
31:31Can't you just wait?
31:32I'll fix this.
31:34Spare me.
31:35Mike actually has talent.
31:37You?
31:38You're just a fraud who overestimated his worth.
31:41You gold-digging bitch!
31:44You're the one who told me to treat Mike like garbage!
31:47Now he's loaded and suddenly he's a saint.
31:54You're the one who told me the idol.
31:55Leave.
31:57But give me back the diamond ring.
32:02It's mine!
32:03Why the hell would I give it back?
32:06I wasted a year of my life on you for nothing.

43:47A little gift for the big day.
43:48Oh, look, everyone.
43:50The great Chad brought a $15 discount wine from the grocery store.
43:54Is this a celebration, or are you just here to insult our CEO?
43:58Seriously, Chad, I wouldn't even clean my windows with this garbage.
44:05Mike, please.
44:07I lost everything.
44:08The mansion, the Porsche, the money.
44:10Even Chloe walked out.

44:15Just make me an operations manager.
44:17I swear I'll outwork everyone.
