Short filmTranscript
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!
00:29Enough!
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.
00:58When 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?
01:16Don'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.
01:28I should be grateful.
01:30Great.
01:31Just great.
01:49Robert, you see the pipes busted?
01:51Call someone to fix it.
01:52Front the repair cost and I'll pay you back later.
01:54Front it again?
01:55You 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.
02:14Great.
02:15Thank you so much.
02:21Robert, we're short on the smoked ingredients.
02:23Get to the wholesale market early and buy them.
02:25Must be fresh.
02:26The customers are waiting.
02:29They're already in the hotel.
02:32Come on.
02:34Come on.
02:35Come on.
02:37Come on.
02:38Come on.
02:39Come on.
02:48Hello.
02:51Come on.
02:53Woo.
02:59Robert, I remember everything you've done for me.
03:02We grew up together.
03:03Over 30 years of friendship.
03:05I would never treat you unfairly.
03:08Don't worry.
03:09Once the money comes in, we'll split it 50-50.
03:15Frank, I've been doing the work of three people.
03:18365 days a year, no days off.
03:21Shopping for ingredients, prepping the food,
03:23doing all the cooking myself.
03:24I stayed up late, night after night,
03:26working on the smoked dishes,
03:28sleeping less than four hours a day.
03:30On Christmas Day, I had just gotten home
03:31and was about to sit down to Christmas dinner
03:33with my wife and kids when you called.
03:34You said you'd taken a last-minute order
03:36for a family gathering
03:37and told me to get back to the restaurant immediately.
03:39I drove three hours to get there,
03:41worked all night,
03:41and after cleaning up the kitchen,
03:42it was already 2 a.m.
03:44I didn't even get a chance to say
03:45Merry Christmas to my kids.
03:46But you?
03:47You went home to your family hours ago.
03:48Last month, you took an order
03:50for a thousand smoked gift boxes.
03:52You said the client needed them urgently.
03:54I worked around the clock for three days
03:55and three nights without a single wink of sleep.
03:57I almost killed myself.
03:59Frank, after everything I gave this year,
04:00I'm worth $7,000?
04:03Robert, we grew up together.
04:06Talking about money like this
04:07is bad for our relationship.
04:09I rescued you from that little dump of a diner
04:12and made you a partner in my restaurant.
04:14You should be grateful to me.
04:16My old diner wasn't much,
04:17but I was clearing $100,000 a year.
04:19Coming here sounds fancy,
04:20restaurant partner,
04:21but I'm working 100 times harder.
04:23All the grunt work,
04:23all the dirty jobs,
04:24they're mine.
04:25$7,000 is my share
04:26and he thinks I should be grateful?
04:28All right, all right.
04:29Why draw such a clear line between us?
04:30It's not like the restaurant is shutting down.
04:32Next year,
04:33I'll give you a bigger cut,
04:34I promise.
04:35It's almost Independence Day.
04:36We're having a get-together
04:37with the guys tonight.
04:38You go prepare properly.
04:39Don't embarrass me.
04:40On Independence Day,
04:41a tour group has a reservation
04:43to eat at the restaurant.
04:45300 people.
04:46The client also ordered
04:48a thousand smoked gift boxes.
04:50You need to have them ready ahead of time.
04:54Got it.
04:55I already took a $30,000 deposit.
04:58If I default,
04:59I'll have to pay triple.
05:00Don't screw me over on this.
05:09I can't even bring myself
05:10to call Diana.
05:11I can't tell her
05:13that after a whole year of hoping,
05:14our share is only $7,000.
05:17I barely spent any time
05:19with her this year.
05:20All my energy went into the restaurant.
05:22And now,
05:23$7,000.
05:25365 days?
05:27That's less than $20 a day.
05:29Some partner I am.
05:31Cheap labor.
05:43That's my share.
05:46You're joking, right?
05:47Frank said the restaurant
05:48cleared $250,000 this year.
05:50He gave you $7,000?
05:52He said the place is his
05:53and he put up the capital.
05:54I'm just a worker.
05:55$7,000 is already pretty good.
06:13I told you not to go in with him.
06:15You worked yourself
06:16to the bone every day
06:17and after all that,
06:18this is what you get?
06:18You could walk into
06:19any diner in Queens
06:20as a cook
06:20and make $80,000 a year.
06:22What are you even doing this for?
06:25So are you going to keep
06:26running this restaurant with him?
06:30I haven't decided yet.
06:32Robert,
06:33I respect whatever you decide.
06:35But remember this,
06:37it doesn't matter
06:38how much money it is.
06:39You live by your craft.
06:41Your recipe,
06:42your skills,
06:43they deserve respect.
06:44They deserve better.
06:48I know.
06:49Thank you, Diana.
06:56Robert?
06:57He thinks he deserves
06:58to sit at the same table
06:59with us?
07:05I give him good food
07:07and a place to stay
07:08and he still thinks
07:09$7,000 is too little?
07:11The guy doesn't even have
07:12a real chef certification
07:14and he dares to compare himself
07:16to the new chef I hired?
07:18I'm the only one
07:19who would even employ him.
07:20I opened the restaurant.
07:21I put up the money.
07:22I'm the boss.
07:23He's just a cook
07:24and he thinks he deserves
07:25to split the profits
07:2650-50 with me.
07:28He has no idea
07:29what it means
07:29to be an employee.
07:31Right?
07:31The nerve of that guy.
07:33Robert just doesn't
07:34know his place.
07:35Frank,
07:36you're a big shot now.
07:37He's just a lousy cook
07:38with no sense of boundaries.
07:40Later,
07:41we'll knock him down a peg.
07:42Let him know
07:43who's the boss
07:43and who's the hired help.
07:4730 years of friendship.
07:48Growing up together.
07:50And in their eyes,
07:50it's worth nothing.
07:51I'm not his brother.
07:52I'm just a lousy hired cook
07:53with no gratitude,
07:55no sense of boundaries
07:55and no idea of my place.
07:56What is that $7,000 really?
07:59A bonus?
07:59Wages?
08:00Or just charity
08:01he threw at me?
08:05Robert,
08:05it smells delicious.
08:06You worked hard
08:07cooking all that food.
08:08Sit down.
08:10That's what he's paid for.
08:11What's so hard about it?
08:12Frank,
08:13I think you're being
08:14too nice to him.
08:15This is a get-together
08:16for us.
08:17He's a cook.
08:18What's he doing
08:18at the table?
08:19Exactly.
08:20Robert,
08:21I heard you got $7,000.
08:23Frank's been more
08:23than good to you.
08:24The job market
08:25is terrible right now.
08:26You're lucky
08:27to have work at all
08:27and he's giving you
08:28room and board
08:29on top of that.
08:30You should be grateful.
08:31Go on, toast him.
08:34Frank,
08:35let me toast you.
08:36Robert,
08:37don't you know
08:37any manners?
08:38Who do you think
08:39you're calling Frank?
08:40That's your boss,
08:40the man who puts
08:41food on your table.
08:42Back in the day,
08:43you'd have to kneel
08:43to toast him.
08:46Robert,
08:46don't take it personally.
08:47We're all friends here.
08:49Just joking around.
08:49No harm meant.
08:53It's fine.
08:55I don't mind.
08:56Because it's not worth it.
08:58Robert,
08:59remember this.
09:00What's mine is yours.
09:01Whatever I have,
09:02you'll have too.
09:03We're on the same side.
09:04Always.
09:06The Independence Day customers
09:07and the smoked gift boxes.
09:09I'm counting on you.
09:11Stick with me.
09:12Work hard
09:12and I won't let you down.
09:14Frank,
09:14you're right about everything.
09:18Independence Day customers,
09:19a thousand smoked gift boxes,
09:21to hell with all of them.
09:23My restaurant's chef
09:24costs over $200,000
09:25a year in salary.
09:26That's more than
09:27I make in a year.
09:28Not like Frank's place
09:29where you're the only cook.
09:30He saves a fortune.
09:31My daughter bought me
09:32tickets to Europe
09:33for Independence Day.
09:34I'm in a hurry to sell.
09:35I'll give you a break.
09:36With the transfer fee,
09:37it's $90,000 total.
09:38$90,000.
09:39For this location,
09:40for a restaurant this size,
09:42that's already a steal.
09:43But I still don't have enough.
09:44Tell you what.
09:45I own this building.
09:46The rent is $80,000 a year.
09:48You can pay for the first
09:49three months now
09:50and cover the remaining
09:50nine months later.
09:51I'll leave you the renovation
09:52and the equipment.
09:54No extra charge.
09:55Three months' rent
09:56comes to $20,000.
09:58Okay.
09:59Let me go think it over.
10:00I'll get back to you
10:01as soon as I can.
10:13Diana, there's something
10:14I want to talk to you about.
10:21Robert, hold on.
10:26That's all we have at home.
10:28I'll ask my parents too.
10:30Don't worry.
10:31If we really can't do it
10:32any other way,
10:32we'll get a bank loan.
10:34I believe in your cooking
10:35and I believe
10:36you'll make this work.
10:37Honey,
10:38what if I lose
10:38all this money?
10:41Then we lose it.
10:42I'll be right here with you.
10:44Worst comes to worst,
10:46we start over from nothing.
10:47Don't worry.
10:48Mom and bad are here for you.
10:50Go for it with confidence.
10:52We're both behind you.
10:53Your grandfather's recipe
10:54should be wasted like this.
10:56Let Gunmore people taste it.
10:58Live your own life.
11:01Mom told me about your situation.
11:03I just transferred
11:04$20,000 to you.
11:06Take it.
11:07If that's not enough,
11:08I'll talk to my wife
11:09and see what else we can do.
11:11Thank you, Eli.
11:16Robert,
11:17I know you're a hard worker
11:19and I've had your smoked pork.
11:20It's delicious.
11:22But this is $90,000.
11:24That's not a small amount of money.
11:26Have you really thought this through?
11:28Mrs. Taylor, I have.
11:29I believe in my cooking
11:30and I believe that in less than a year
11:32I'll make back every cent
11:34and do even better than Frank.
11:35Let's sign the contract.
11:37And please, Ms. Taylor,
11:38keep this between us for now.
11:39Okay.
11:40I don't want Frank to know.
11:43All right.
11:45Then here's to your success.
11:58Robert,
11:59were you just across the street
12:00at that restaurant?
12:01What?
12:01You thinking of opening your own place?
12:07Robert,
12:08were you just across the street
12:09at that restaurant?
12:10What?
12:11You thinking of opening your own place?
12:12Where would I get the money, Frank?
12:14I was just taking a look.
12:15I heard that place just got renovated,
12:17so I went to check it out.
12:19Right.
12:19You're broke.
12:20Without me,
12:20you wouldn't even have food on the table.
12:22Robert,
12:22we've made some money now.
12:23I'm planning to go back to Brooklyn
12:25and have a meal with the old neighbors.
12:26You're coming with me.
12:27Bring your parents and your wife.
12:28One more thing.
12:29I told them I gave you a $30,000 share.
12:31Don't let it slip when we're there.
12:32You don't want people laughing at you,
12:34and you don't want them saying,
12:35I treated you unfairly.
12:36$30,000?
12:38I'm doing this for your own good.
12:39You worked a whole year
12:40and only took home $7,000.
12:41If people find out,
12:42they'll laugh at you,
12:43and they'll call me cheap.
12:44Just do what I say
12:45and don't make trouble for me.
12:46Laugh at me?
12:47Isn't he the first one laughing at me?
12:49He's going back to show off
12:50and he's going to do it on my back.
12:52He wants me to stand in front
12:53of the whole neighborhood
12:54and admit I'm nothing but a parasite
12:55living off my brother's charity.
12:57He gives me $7,000
12:58but tells everyone it's $30,000.
13:00He wants to play the good guy
13:02while squeezing me dry.
13:04Since when does anyone
13:05get to have it both ways?
13:07Fine, whatever you say.
13:08He wants face.
13:10He wants to show off
13:10in front of the neighbors.
13:11Fine, I'll give him
13:12all the face he wants.
13:19Oh my, isn't this Robert?
13:21I heard you became a partner
13:22at Frank's restaurant
13:23and made $30,000 this year.
13:24That's so much better
13:25than when you had
13:26your own little place.
13:27What do you know?
13:27Frank only gave Robert that much
13:28because they grew up together.
13:29For real, with his cooking skills,
13:31he'd be lucky to make
13:31$10,000 a year.
13:33Getting $30,000 from Frank,
13:34that's Frank being generous.
13:35Yeah, Robert,
13:36you'd better be grateful to Frank.
13:37A debt like that,
13:38you'd better remember it.
13:39Without Frank,
13:40you'd still be stuck
13:41in that little diner
13:42begging for scraps.
13:43Why does he have to give
13:44Robert $30,000?
13:45Frank gives him room and board,
13:47feeds him for free,
13:48and the guy still isn't satisfied.
13:50Unbelievable.
13:50This isn't finding a partner.
13:52This is taking in
13:52a damn ancestor.
13:54Robert, this is where you're wrong.
13:55If you're an employee,
13:56act like an employee.
13:58Frank is the boss.
13:59You're the work.
14:00Know your place.
14:01Don't be so greedy.
14:02Frank's money
14:02didn't fall out of the sky.
14:04When should he feed you for free
14:05and hand you $30,000?
14:07If it were me,
14:07I would have kicked you out
14:08a long time ago.
14:09Robert, you need to face reality.
14:11Some people are born to be the boss,
14:13like my son.
14:13And some people are born to work,
14:15like you.
14:15You need to accept your lot in life.
14:17Stop dreaming of rising above your station
14:19and standing shoulder to shoulder
14:20with my son.
14:20My son gave you $30,000.
14:22That's no small amount of money.
14:23On Independence Day,
14:24bring your parents and your wife
14:25to help out at my son's restaurant.
14:26Don't even think about
14:27sitting at home doing nothing.
14:28You'd better show some gratitude
14:30for my son's generosity.
14:37One last time.
14:39From now on,
14:40I'm done with Frank
14:41and these money-grobbing neighbors.
14:43Robert, don't take those people seriously.
14:45They're just jealous of how close we are.
14:47Jealous that you get to make money with me.
14:48But my mom does have a point.
14:50Your parents and your wife
14:51don't have much going on at home.
14:52Independence Day is going to be
14:53crazy busy at the restaurant.
14:54Your wife can cook too.
14:55Have them all come help out.
14:56Extra hands put my mind at ease.
14:58Didn't you just hire a new chef?
14:59My wife needs to take care of our kids.
15:01My parents are older.
15:01They don't have the time.
15:02That kid is useless.
15:03He can't tell salt from sugar.
15:04He's just for show.
15:05Your whole family can cook.
15:06Having you all there
15:07makes me feel better.
15:08Besides, I gave you $30,000.
15:09You guys helping out a little
15:10is the least you can do.
15:12Look, that's not happening.
15:13I'm not going to let you do that.
15:15It's settled.
15:17When you go back this time,
15:18bring them all with you.
15:19I'm counting on you
15:20for the Independence Day customers
15:21and the smoke gift boxes.
15:23Don't let me down.
15:29Robert, I'm coming back
15:30to Queens tomorrow.
15:31Those thousand smoke gift boxes,
15:32they're all ready, right?
15:33Don't screw this up.
15:34I took a $30,000 deposit
15:35from the client.
15:36If I default, I'm done.
15:37Yeah, I know.
15:40Long time no see, my friend.
15:42Come to Queens tomorrow.
15:43The grand opening of my restaurant.
15:50Robert, did the restaurant
15:51across the street
15:51get a new owner?
15:52Who's running it now?
15:53Hurry up and get back here.
15:54The guests are about to arrive.
15:56What's taking you so long?
15:58Frank, the owner
15:58of this restaurant is me.
16:00Robert, what kind of nonsense is that?
16:02How could you possibly
16:04be the owner of that restaurant?
16:05Where would you even get the money?
16:07Stop standing around Goldbring
16:09and get back in the kitchen.
16:10The guests will be here any minute.
16:18What are you all dressed up for?
16:20Go inside and change.
16:21Then get to the kitchen.
16:22Don't mess up my business.
16:28Frank, so you opened
16:29another restaurant.
16:30No wonder you didn't tell us.
16:31Were you trying to surprise us?
16:33Frank, you must have
16:34made a fortune this year.
16:35Opening a place like that
16:36must cost at least $200,000.
16:37You've really got the chops.
16:39Robert, you clean up nice
16:41in that suit.
16:41I'll give you that.
16:42Too bad you're just a cook.
16:43Put you in a suit
16:45and you still don't look
16:45like a boss.
16:46Enough with the chatter.
16:48Robert, go change
16:49and get cooking.
16:50If you screw up my business,
16:51I won't let it slide.
16:56Frank, I'm not cooking
16:58for you today.
16:59Not cooking for me?
17:01Then who are you cooking for?
17:02Over there.
17:05You jumped ship?
17:07Robert, after 30 years together
17:08you leave without saying a word?
17:10You have no conscience.
17:12Have you forgotten
17:13who gave you a hand?
17:14Who gave you a chance?
17:16I didn't jump ship.
17:17Then what are you doing?
17:18Oh, I get it.
17:19You're trying to blackmail me.
17:21Hold me hostage for a raise?
17:22Is that it?
17:22Robert, I've already paid you
17:23more than enough.
17:24Still not satisfied?
17:25You're too damn greedy.
17:27Yeah, Robert, this is too much.
17:28Frank has been more than good to you.
17:29He gave you room and board,
17:31gave you a $30,000 share,
17:32and this is how you repay him?
17:38Exactly.
17:38You ungrateful wretch.
17:40Frank pulled you out of the gutter
17:42when you had nothing.
17:43And this is when you abandon him?
17:45You think my son's restaurant
17:47can't run without you?
17:53Weren't you all just saying
17:54I was taking $30,000
17:55for doing nothing?
17:56Weren't you saying
17:57the new chef
17:57is a hundred times better than me?
18:01So I'm leaving.
18:03What's the rush?
18:04Robert, is there some kind
18:05of misunderstanding here?
18:06I promised.
18:07I promised we'd split
18:09the profit 50-50,
18:10but you know how it is.
18:11My restaurant costs
18:12$80,000 a year just in rent.
18:14Then there's labor,
18:16utilities, ingredients.
18:17If I really went 50-50 with you,
18:19I'd have to borrow money
18:19just to get by.
18:20You've got to see things
18:21from my side too.
18:22Look, after Independence Day,
18:24I'll find a way to scrape together
18:25some more cash
18:25and give you a bigger share.
18:27At least 60 grand.
18:28Deal?
18:29Stop making a scene
18:30and come help.
18:31Don't mess up
18:31the real business here.
18:32Frank, did you actually
18:33give me $30,000?
18:35Robert, what are you
18:36trying to do?
18:43What?
18:43He only gave him $7,000?
18:45That's way too little.
18:47Right.
18:47I heard Robert came in
18:48with his family recipe.
18:50Frank's place was about
18:51to go under
18:51before Robert showed up.
18:52That's when business
18:53turned around.
18:54Even if Robert's
18:55not a partner,
18:56just a cook,
18:56he still should have
18:57gotten more than that.
18:58Then why did Frank
18:59say he gave him
19:00$30,000?
19:01And Robert didn't
19:02deny it earlier.
19:03Something's not right here.
19:05Is Frank lying?
19:07No, he's not.
19:08Frank gave him $30,000.
19:11For all you know,
19:12Robert blew it all himself
19:13and this $7,000
19:13is all that's left.
19:14Maybe he lost it,
19:15Gamm spent it all,
19:16and now he's trying
19:17to squeeze my son.
19:19That's possible.
19:20Maybe he really did
19:20blow through the money
19:21and now he's trying
19:21to blame Frank.
19:22Good thing Frank
19:23cleared that up.
19:24Otherwise,
19:25what an injustice
19:26that would be
19:26blaming Frank
19:27for something like this.
19:29Robert,
19:29how did you end up
19:30like this?
19:31All right, enough.
19:32You've had your little tantrum.
19:34I'm not going to
19:34hold it against you.
19:35Now get back in there
19:36and job.
19:38Don't mess up my business
19:39because you can't
19:40afford the consequences.
19:44Not so fast.
19:46Let's get this straight.
19:47If this deposit record
19:49doesn't prove anything,
19:50then let's try
19:51something else.
19:56This is my place
19:57and I put up the capital.
19:59People come here
20:00to eat at my restaurant.
20:01You're just the cook.
20:02Seven grand
20:03is more than fair.
20:05Oh my God,
20:06he really only gave him
20:07$7,000?
20:09Frank used the friendship
20:10as an excuse,
20:10tricked Robert
20:11out of his secret recipe,
20:12worked him like a dog
20:13and then handed him
20:14seven grand?
20:15That is way out of line.
20:17Yeah, if I were him,
20:18I'd jump ship too.
20:19Open my own place,
20:20make money with my own skills.
20:21Better than being treated
20:22like an idiot.
20:23No, Robert.
20:24You know damn well
20:25why I only gave you
20:25$7,000.
20:26You've been lazing around
20:27my restaurant every day
20:28not doing a thing.
20:29I fed you, housed you,
20:30and still gave you
20:31seven grand.
20:32That's more than generous.
20:33You can't be this ungrateful.
20:35Fine.
20:36I'll make you eat your words.
20:38See that?
20:39This is what you call
20:40not doing a thing.
20:42From six in the morning
20:44till three the next morning,
20:45I didn't stop for a second.
20:46And those 15 smoked dishes,
20:48I made every single
20:49one of them myself.
20:50My wrist is still swollen.
20:52You want to tell me
20:52I didn't work?
20:53Frank, you came to me.
20:55You said your restaurant
20:56was about to fail.
20:57You begged me to bring
20:58my grandfather's
20:59smoked meat recipe
20:59and invest it in your place.
21:01You asked me to be your chef.
21:02You promised we'd
21:03split the profits 50-50.
21:04Out of loyalty to the friendship
21:06we'd had since we were kids,
21:07I closed my own restaurant
21:08and killed myself
21:09working for you.
21:10This past year,
21:10I fronted you over $2,000
21:12for repairs and ingredients.
21:13I never even asked
21:14for it back
21:15because I believed you
21:16when you said
21:16you wouldn't treat me unfairly.
21:18But when it came time
21:19for the payout,
21:19what did you say?
21:20You said I was just
21:21a lousy cook
21:22with no right
21:23to split the profits with you.
21:24You went around
21:25lying to the neighbors.
21:26And then you wanted
21:27my parents and my wife
21:28to come work for you
21:29for nothing.
21:30Frank,
21:30and you're calling
21:31me ungrateful?
21:32Frank,
21:32this is just too much.
21:34You made a fortune
21:34off someone else's recipe,
21:36treated him like a mule
21:37and gave him seven grand?
21:38Doesn't that money
21:39burn a hole in your pocket?
21:40Either pay the man
21:41a real wage
21:41or buy his recipe outright.
21:43$7,000,
21:44that's just exploitation.
21:46And you have the nerve
21:46to call him ungrateful?
21:48You're the ungrateful one here.
21:50Robert,
21:50can we talk about this later?
21:52I really need you right now.
21:53Stop making a scene.
21:54I promise I'll give you a raise.
21:56$30,000.
21:57No, $50,000.
21:58That's fair, isn't it?
21:59Now please,
22:00just get back to the kitchen.
22:01Don't mess up the guest's meal.
22:04Keep your $50,000.
22:06From now on,
22:06we each go our own way.
22:08We owe each other nothing.
22:10Robert,
22:11you can't leave.
22:12The guests are about to arrive.
22:13If you walk out,
22:14who's going to cook for me?
22:15And what about
22:15those thousand smoked gift boxes?
22:17Did you make them?
22:19You didn't make them,
22:20did you?
22:21Robert,
22:21are you trying to ruin me?
22:23I took a $30,000 deposit
22:24from the client.
22:25If I default,
22:26I have to pay triple.
22:29Who am I to you?
22:31Why should I cook for you?
22:32Why should I make
22:33your gift boxes?
22:34You're my partner.
22:35I gave you a share.
22:36A share?
22:37Are you talking about
22:38that $7,000?
22:40The wages you said
22:41I,
22:42a useless cook,
22:42deserved?
22:43Frank,
22:44we have no contract.
22:45No agreement.
22:46That partnership yours
22:47was nothing but empty words.
22:49The moment you threw
22:50that $7,000 in my face,
22:52whatever there was
22:53between us was over.
22:55Robert,
22:56just tell me how much you want.
22:57Whatever Susan can give you,
22:59I can give you too.
23:00We've known each other
23:00for 30 years.
23:01You can't pick her.
23:02You can't betray me.
23:10I'm not picking anyone
23:12because I'm the owner
23:13of this restaurant.
23:21Frank,
23:22we're all here.
23:23Serve the meal
23:23in half an hour.
23:24We need to get to the attractions
23:25after we cheer,
23:26so don't waste any time.
23:28I'm really sorry.
23:29Today,
23:30today the chef isn't here.
23:31I can't serve the meal.
23:33What did you just say?
23:34Are you joking with me?
23:35I booked this a month in advance,
23:37specifically for your smoked dishes.
23:38Now my people are all here
23:39and you're telling me
23:39the chef isn't here?
23:40I'm really, really sorry.
23:41Why don't you take everyone
23:42to another restaurant?
23:43I'll apologize.
23:44I'll compensate.
23:44Today is Independence Day.
23:46Tourists are everywhere.
23:47Where am I supposed to find
23:48a restaurant
23:48to seat 300 people?
23:50I don't care
23:51what your problem is.
23:52We had an agreement
23:52and we're sticking to it.
23:54We're not going anywhere else.
23:55We're eating right here
23:56at your place.
23:57Noah, hurry.
23:58Get to the kitchen
23:59and start prepping.
24:00Lunch for 300 people.
24:01It needs to be ready
24:01in half an hour.
24:02Boss, I can't do it.
24:03I can't handle a crowd this big.
24:05And besides,
24:05there's not even enough ingredients
24:06in the kitchen right now.
24:07No ingredients?
24:08We run a restaurant
24:09and you're telling me
24:09there are no ingredients?
24:10What kind of chef are you?
24:11Boss, there's nothing I can do.
24:12Robert always handled
24:13all the purchasing and prep.
24:14I never had to deal
24:15with any of that.
24:16Robert, you did this on purpose.
24:18You're trying to destroy me.
24:20Frank, since the chef isn't here,
24:22does that mean
24:22the thousand smoked gift boxes
24:24I ordered aren't ready either?
24:25Where do you think you're going?
24:27Frank, tell me the truth.
24:28Did you make those
24:29thousand gift boxes or not?
24:30I'm so sorry.
24:32The chef who does the smoking,
24:33he called in sick
24:34these past couple of days.
24:35Give me a few more days.
24:37Give me your address.
24:38I promise I'll mail them to you.
24:40Mail them?
24:41300 people,
24:42300 different addresses?
24:43Are you joking with me?
24:44Do you have any idea
24:45how important this tour group
24:46is to me?
24:46These are all key clients.
24:47The only reason I chose
24:48your restaurant
24:49was because of your smoked dishes.
24:50You think I would have
24:51picked you otherwise?
24:51I paid you a $30,000 deposit
24:53for those thousand gift boxes.
24:54If you can't deliver them,
24:55according to our agreement,
24:56you owe me triple.
24:57That's $90,000 right now.
24:58And on top of that,
24:59you need to find us
25:00a place to eat immediately.
25:01Otherwise, I'm calling the police
25:02and reporting you for fraud.
25:03I'll make sure this restaurant
25:04of yours never opens again.
25:07$90,000.
25:09Robert, my good brother,
25:10think of our 30 years
25:11of friendship.
25:12Help me out.
25:12I'll pay you more.
25:13$50,000.
25:14No, $100,000.
25:15Please.
25:16Just help me this one time.
25:17No need.
25:18Without you,
25:19I can make a lot more than that.
25:22Well, if it isn't Robert,
25:24Frank just said you were sick,
25:25but I knew that couldn't be right.
25:27You're tough as nails.
25:28Every time I come here,
25:29I see you working your tail off.
25:30Robert, you opened your own place?
25:32That's right.
25:32Grand opening today.
25:33It's about time.
25:34That friend of yours
25:35is way too cheap.
25:36A craftsman like you
25:37working for him?
25:38Total waste of talent.
25:39Hey, Robert,
25:40does your place have room?
25:41I can't have 300 yours
25:42as going hungry.
25:43We've got plenty of room,
25:44and the smoked gift boxes
25:45are already prepared.
25:46Right this way.
25:46Good man.
25:47Reliable.
25:51You really screwed up.
25:53You drove away
25:54a good brother like this.
25:55You brought this on yourself.
25:56And let me tell you,
25:57that $90,000 penalty,
25:58not one cent less.
26:00If you don't pay up,
26:01I'll see you in court.
26:06Robert, you unbastard.
26:08My son gave you so much money,
26:10and you betray him like this?
26:12How can you be so cruel?
26:18Still trying to sling mud?
26:19Didn't you say Robert
26:20did nothing around here?
26:21Funny how without Robert,
26:22your son of son
26:23is about to lose $90,000.
26:26Exactly.
26:26Wouldn't the friend
26:27who broke his back for him,
26:28and now he's got to pay
26:29it all out in damages.
26:30Serves him right.
26:42This is amazing.
26:44The smoked flavor
26:44is so authentic.
26:46I've never had smoked dishes
26:47this good anywhere.
26:49Truly incredible.
26:50All 15 smoked dishes
26:51are delicious.
26:54We'll definitely be coming back.
26:56You're always welcome.
26:58The truth is,
26:59I had already made
27:00those thousand smoked gift boxes
27:01together with my parents and wife.
27:02Back then,
27:03I still thought that
27:04if Frank could finally wake up,
27:05admit his mistakes,
27:06and stop treating me like a fool,
27:07I would give him the gift boxes
27:08and help him get through this crisis.
27:09But he didn't.
27:10He chose to keep lying
27:11and keep squeezing me.
27:12He sealed that last path
27:13shut with his own hands.
27:15First day open,
27:16and gross revenue
27:17hit over $100,000.
27:18A thousand smoked gift boxes
27:20at $85 each
27:21comes to $85,000.
27:23After subtracting the cost
27:24of ingredients,
27:25labor,
27:26and everything else,
27:27net profit is $35,000.
27:30This is what my craft is worth.
27:31This is what I earned.
27:32You have to try Robert's smoked dishes.
27:34His craft is absolutely top-notch.
27:37William turned out
27:37to be incredibly helpful.
27:39Everywhere he went after that,
27:40he never forgot to spread the word
27:42about my restaurant.
27:43Add to that the buzz
27:44from what happened on opening day,
27:45and my place became famous.
27:47In the days that followed,
27:48we were packed every single day.
27:49Tables were impossible to come by.
27:51Takeout orders were nonstop.
27:52I had to hire three more people
27:54just to keep up with demand.
27:57No, you can't leave.
27:58Mr. Carter,
27:59your restaurant doesn't have any customers.
28:01There's no future for me here.
28:02It's hurting my reputation.
28:04I have to go.
28:15Frank?
28:19I'm sorry, Robert.
28:21That apology was a year overdue.
28:23By now, it means nothing.
28:26Was that Robert?
28:27Yeah, Dad.
28:28It was him.
28:29He looked at me like I was a stranger.
28:32Frank, do you know where you went wrong?
28:33You went wrong when you treated Robert like a fool.
28:36But he's not a fool.
28:37He knew exactly what was going on the whole time.
28:39You shouldn't have given him only $7,000
28:41while lying to all of us,
28:42saying it was $30,000.
28:43And you shouldn't have made a fortune off his recipe
28:45while working him like an animal
28:46and breaking his heart.
28:47Frank, you did this to yourself.
28:52My restaurant is still packed every day.
28:54I didn't let my grandfather's recipe down.
28:56I didn't let my craft down.
28:57And I didn't let my family's trust and support down.
29:00As for Frank,
29:01his fate is exactly what he brought upon himself.
29:03As for me,
29:04I'll keep moving forward with my craft
29:05and my family toward a better future.
