00:00Frank, I remember the restaurant made a solid $250,000 in net profit this year.
00:05Are you telling me my share is only $7,000?
00:09This is my place, and I put up the capital.
00:12People come here to eat or to eat at my restaurant.
00:14You're just the cook.
00:15$7,000 is more than fair.
00:18But the smoked pork recipe was passed down from my grandfather.
00:21I've been running the kitchen by myself from start to finish.
00:24And that new chef you just hired?
00:26He's pulling down $70,000 a year!
00:28Enough!
00:29Smoked pork is everywhere.
00:30You think it's special?
00:31I gave you a great platform.
00:33Don't get too full of yourself.
00:34You're almost 40.
00:35How can you compare yourself to that young guy?
00:37He graduated from a real culinary school.
00:39He turns out creative dishes left and right way better than your old tired family recipes.
00:43I'm sure he could do a lot better than you.
00:48Robert, please help me.
00:49My restaurant is about to go under.
00:51I know you have that smoked pork recipe, and I know how good a cook you are.
00:55Will you come be my head chef?
00:57I'll give you shares.
00:57When we make money, you get a cut.
01:00I'm begging you, please!
01:03All right.
01:04I'm in.
01:07That's amazing, buddy.
01:08I don't even know how to thank you.
01:10Am I wrong, Robert?
01:11Look around this restaurant.
01:12The bowls, the cups, the plates, they're all mine.
01:14What have you done besides cook?
01:15Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you'd still be stuck in that little dump of a diner scraping by.
01:19Don't feel sorry for yourself.
01:20With your skills, I could find a cook in any diner in Queens for $2,000 a month.
01:23I give you room and board and a $7,000 bonus.
01:26You should be grateful.
01:27I should be grateful.
01:30Great.
01:31Just great.
01:49Robert, you see the pipe's busted?
01:51Call someone to fix it.
01:52Front the repair cost and I'll pay you back later.
01:54Front it again?
01:54You still haven't paid me back for the propane gas last time.
01:59All right, all right.
02:00It's no big deal.
02:01We're brothers.
02:01We'll settle it all later.
02:02I've got things to do.
02:03Just go handle it.
02:10Sir, the pipe is fixed.

16:23business
16:28frank so you opened another restaurant no wonder you didn't tell us were you trying to surprise us
16:32frank you must have made a fortune this year opening a place like that must cost at least 200 grand
16:37you've really got the chops robert you clean up nice in that suit i'll give you that too bad you're
16:43just a cook put you in a suit and you still don't look like a boss enough with the chatter
16:47robert go
16:48change and get cooking if you screw up my business i won't let it slide
16:56frank i'm not cooking for you today not cooking for me then who are you cooking for over there
17:05you jumped ship
17:07robert after 30 years together you leave without saying a word
17:10you have no conscience have you forgotten who gave you a hand who gave you a chance i didn't jump
17:16ship
17:17then what are you doing oh i get it you're trying to blackmail me hold me hostage for a raise
17:22is that
17:22it robert i've already paid you more than enough still not satisfied you're too damn greedy yeah
17:27robert this is too much frank has been more than good to you he gave you room and board gave
17:31you a
17:31thirty thousand dollar share and this is how you repay him
17:38exactly you ungrateful wretch frank pulled you out of the gutter when you had nothing and this is when
17:44you abandoned him you think my son's restaurant can't run without you
17:53weren't you all just saying i was taking thirty thousand dollars for doing nothing weren't you
17:57saying the new chef is a hundred times better than me
18:01so i'm leaving what's the rush robert is there some kind of misunderstanding here i promised
18:07i promised we'd split the profit fifty fifty but you know how it is my restaurant costs eighty
18:12thousand a year just in rent then there's labor utilities ingredients if i really went 50 50 with
18:18you i'd have to borrow money just to get by you've got to see things from my side too look
18:23after
18:23independence day i'll find a way to scrape together some more cash and give you a bigger share
18:26at least 60 grand deal stop making a scene and come help don't mess up the real business here frank
18:32did you actually give me thirty thousand dollars robert what are you trying to do
18:43what he only gave him seven thousand that's way too little right i heard robert came in with his
18:48family recipe frank's place was about to go under before robert showed up that's when business turned
18:53around even if robert's not a partner just a cook he still should have gotten more than that then why
18:58did
18:59frank say he gave him 30 grand and robert didn't deny it earlier something's not right here is frank
19:05lying no he's not frank gave him thirty thousand dollars for all you know robert blew it all himself
19:12and this seven grand is all that's left maybe he lost it gam spent it all and now he's trying
19:17to
19:17squeeze my son that's possible maybe he really did blow through the money and now he's trying to blame
19:22frank good thing frank cleared that up otherwise what an injustice that would be blaming frank for
19:27something like this robert how did you end up like this all right enough you've had your little
19:33tantrum i'm not going to hold it against you now get back in there and job don't mess up my
19:39business
19:39because you can't afford the consequences
19:44not so fast let's get this straight if this deposit record doesn't prove anything then let's try something
19:51else this is my place and i put up the capital people come here to eat at my restaurant you're
20:01just the cook seven grand is more than fair oh my god he really only gave him seven thousand dollars
20:09frank used the friendship as an excuse trick robert out of his secret recipe worked him like a dog and
20:13then and handed him seven grand that is way out of line yeah if i were him i jump ship
20:18to open my own
20:19place make money with my own skills better than being treated like an idiot no robert you know
20:24damn well why i only gave you seven thousand dollars you've been lazing around my restaurant
20:28every day not doing a thing i fed you housed you and still gave you seven grand that's more than
20:32generous you can't be this ungrateful fine i'll make you eat your words see that this is what you call
20:40not doing a thing from six in the morning till three the next morning i didn't stop for a second

20:56you
20:57begged me to bring my grandfather's smoked meat recipe and invest it in your place you asked me to
21:01be your chef you promised we'd split the profits 50 50 out of loyalty to the friendship we'd had since
21:06we were kids i closed my own restaurant and killed myself working for you this past year i fronted you
21:11over two thousand dollars for repairs and ingredients i never even asked for it back
21:15because i believed you when you said you wouldn't treat me unfairly but when it came time for the
21:19payout what did you say you said i was just a lousy cook with no right to split the profits
21:24with you
21:24you went around lying to the neighbors and then you wanted my parents and my wife to come work for
21:29you
21:29for nothing frank and you're calling me ungrateful frank this is just too much you made a fortune off
21:35someone else's recipe treated him like a mule and gave him seven grand doesn't that money burn a hole in
21:39your pocket to pay the man a real wage or buy his recipe outright seven thousand dollars that's
21:44just exploitation and you have the nerve to call him ungrateful you're the ungrateful one here
