00:00:00Hey Dad. Did you see the news? Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
00:00:07They ordered the evacuation. Shut everything down.
00:00:13Put out the second layer sandbags, board up the rest of the windows.
00:00:16Mom's packing a few things. We'll stay with Uncle Marvin.
00:00:19Meet you here in half an hour.
00:00:21I'm trapping the fish Josh caught off Cape May this weekend. It's gonna be a special.
00:00:25Well, we're not gonna be back for at least a couple of days, so toss it.
00:00:29I'm gonna stay.
00:00:31What?
00:00:32Just been half an hour reeling these things in.
00:00:34Been here all morning prepping it. I'll stay, watch over the place, make sure nothing happens, you know?
00:00:38It'll be fun.
00:00:39Look, kid, they're closing the bridges down. If you don't come now...
00:00:42He's not coming.
00:00:43They always say it's gonna be the worst one ever. Irene was supposed to be the hundred-year storm.
00:00:46That was last year. Nothing happened here at all.
00:00:48Your mother looks concerned.
00:00:50His mother is concerned.
00:00:52Please, don't worry. Either of me, I'll make sure nothing happens.
00:00:56Trust me.
00:00:59Alright. You call me if anything happens, okay?
00:01:04Shame you're gonna miss out on this sucker.
00:01:07Be safe.
00:01:09Come on. Let's get in the car.
00:01:23I'm on the car.
00:01:25I'm in the car.
00:01:26I'm in the car.
00:01:27I'm in the car, you're under the car.
00:01:28Oh, my God.
00:01:29I got a car, that's interesting.
00:01:32I got it.
00:01:33I'm in the car.
00:01:34It's a good car.
00:01:35All right.
00:01:36Oh my God.
00:01:38Oh my God.
00:01:39There's a good car.
00:01:40Like, there's a big car.
00:01:42I'm in the car.
00:01:43Oh my God.
00:01:44Oh my God.
00:01:45I got a nice car.
00:01:46I got a lot of car.
00:01:47So if it's a nice car.
00:01:48Nice car.
00:01:49Ha-ha!
00:01:52Holy **** on a recipe, on my dad's.
00:01:54His menu's been the same since I was a kid.
00:01:56And it's driving me crazy.
00:01:58I want to make food that surprises people, like I did in New York.
00:02:00I don't care about the money.
00:02:01And now, you're back here with the rest of us.
00:02:09Hurricane Party 2012!

00:12:24Oh.
00:12:26Oh.
00:12:28Yeah.
00:12:30This is amazing, right?
00:12:32I am so hungry.
00:12:34Yeah?
00:12:35You hungry?
00:12:38One of my mentors in culinary school told me
00:12:40cuisine is the mark of a healthy society.
00:12:42Barbarians, Vikings, not known for their food.
00:12:44If you're focused on survival,
00:12:46you only have time for what's good enough.
00:12:48But cuisine isn't about what's good enough.
00:12:50It's about how good can it be.
00:12:52You went to culinary school?
00:12:54New York.
00:12:56Oh, thank you.
00:13:00Oh, my God.
00:13:02I have had eggs like a million times,
00:13:04and I have never been so soft.
00:13:06You got to open your own place.
00:13:08I did.
00:13:09You did?
00:13:10What happened?
00:13:11I'm working in my dad's kitchen.
00:13:12What do you think happened?
00:13:13Well, you've got talent in my experience.
00:13:14Talent and hard work rarely pay off.
00:13:15Connections, capital, and willingness to appeal
00:13:17to the lowest common denominator.
00:13:19Cha-ching.
00:13:21Uh, thank you for the drink.
00:13:25But I should probably go.
00:13:26I got some friends waiting on me.
00:13:27No, where are you headed?
00:13:28Club.
00:13:29Can I come?

00:15:01No, just go out and have fun, just for the hell of it.
00:15:04People I like.

00:15:09What the hell?
00:15:10She just stays at the Shore House during the summer
00:15:12because our office is in Philly.
00:15:13Most of the people I spend time with are just business.

00:15:18Me and my f***ing odd friends are?
00:15:21More than you.
00:15:29You went out clubbing last night?

00:18:01see four months rent plus security deposit that's 10k what do you spend on materials here a month
00:18:07it depends on average what do you spend uh 1500 okay 1500 times four so you gotta pay yourself early

00:18:50what is this going to happen
00:18:53i'm sorry
00:18:58It's a win-win you put the shopping center in the tourism district you make money the state doesn't have to front any capital and they're very committed to some deep tax cuts
00:19:27so it's full risk it's good for you it's good for them it's a public private partnership Charlie has my full confidence to handle all the details
00:19:35great and you know what it's good for the economy it creates jobs
00:19:38yeah but could you imagine working for minimum wage at one of those chains well a job is better than no job
00:19:45yeah but I mean if someone's own business went under after the storm and they're making half of what they used to at a fast food place is that recovery
00:19:53I mean I'm glad you're doing the deal right I'm happy for you I'm just saying what is it really going to take to recover
00:19:59that's a very interesting point I've been reading about this sorry I have to interrupt you there because the thing is those jobs just aren't out there anymore
00:20:06I mean my hand to God I wish they were but they're not so but you know you should do it you should open a dress shop and you should pay people whatever you want
00:20:16you're opening a dress shop
00:20:19um maybe you design dresses did you make that
00:20:22I did um I went to school for clothing design I have a little workshop

00:23:24thought it was funny
00:23:27um
00:23:29why was it
00:23:30crappy
00:23:33I spent the last six years working my way up in New York
00:23:37it was crappy hours
00:23:38I lost touch with most of my friends
00:23:40so
00:23:48working on opening my own place
00:23:57it was a mess
00:23:58it was a mess
00:24:00and
00:24:02probably the best time of my life
00:24:07it's been every dime I had
00:24:10I was behind on rent
00:24:12I owed everyone money
00:24:15I was just
00:24:17awesome
00:24:19running around town catering
00:24:20making a buck
00:24:21making a buck any way I could
00:24:22just to keep it going
00:24:26but everyday I cooked whatever I wanted
00:24:29and it was good
00:24:33I just knew
00:24:36I knew it was the best stuff I could make
00:24:40I loved it
00:24:41I took the time
00:24:42I did it right
00:24:44I made each
00:24:46dish perfect
00:24:48made a soft opening
00:24:49few good reviews
00:24:50I was in over my head
00:24:52it turns out people don't let you stay when you don't pay them
00:24:57the rent was ten grand a month
00:25:01so now I'm working for my dad again like when I was a teenager
00:25:12then the storm came
00:25:14I watched half the place get destroyed
00:25:16that's not your fault
00:25:18I mean that happened to everybody
00:25:20my dad would disagree
00:25:22and I would disagree
00:25:23well
00:25:25you know
00:25:26I would agree
00:25:28I don't think I have to do it
00:25:30I don't think I would agree
00:25:32well
00:25:35I don't think I would agree
00:25:36I mean, that happened to everybody.
00:25:39My dad would disagree.
00:25:41I mean, we put out some sandbags, but I could have prepped better.
00:25:45I was inside, drinking with my friends.
00:25:48Sure, nothing would happen.
00:25:50Anyway.
00:25:53It's been a crappy year, yes.
00:25:56Most of this year, which I could forget.
00:26:01All right. Well...
00:26:04then let's make your night something to remember.
00:26:09What are you doing?
00:26:10I have recently been reminded that life is very short.
00:26:13So, I'm living it.
00:26:26Sarah!
00:26:29Sarah!
00:26:30Sarah!
00:26:33Sarah!
00:26:34Sarah!
00:26:36Sarah!
00:26:37Sarah!
00:26:38Hey, you okay?
00:27:00I told you it wasn't so bad.
00:27:08I think I might have missed dessert.
00:27:15You are soaked.
00:27:16Yeah, look who's talking.
00:27:29Listen, you handle the negotiations on this deal,
00:27:31and you can have a direct commission, 15%.
00:27:34What are you doing out here with my wife?
00:27:37Roger, stop.
00:27:39Hey, hey.
00:27:40Hold on a second.
00:27:41Hold on, hold on.
00:27:42I said it out here.
00:27:43I get to ask you that question.
00:27:44I don't know what you saw, but you just...
00:27:46You think it was nothing?
00:27:47Roger, take a minute.
00:27:48You think it was nothing?
00:27:49You want me to calm down?
00:27:50Roger!
00:27:51You want me to calm down?
00:27:52Hey.
00:27:53Hey.
00:27:54Roger!
00:27:55Roger!
00:27:56Roger!
00:27:57Roger, stop!
00:27:58Roger, stop!
00:27:59Hey, what the hell are you doing?
00:28:01She knows.
00:28:02He knows, and she knows.
00:28:04Are you all right, man?
00:28:05Back out.
00:28:06You okay?
00:28:07Have fun.
00:28:08Oh!
00:28:09Wait!
00:28:10I'm coming with you.
00:28:11Sarah, Sarah.
00:28:12Are you going with him?
00:28:13I'm going with them.
00:28:14Not after what happened.
00:28:15Nothing happened.
00:28:16That does not look like it.
00:28:17Just calm down.
00:28:18I'll be back in a few hours.
00:28:19Sarah.
00:28:20You stay here.
00:28:21You stay home.
00:28:22Carly, stay here, make sure everything's cool.
00:28:24Drive.
00:28:25Please.
00:28:26Gonna be a few more hours.
00:28:27I'm going with them.
00:28:28I'm going with them.
00:28:29Not after what happened.
00:28:30Nothing happened.
00:28:31That is not what it looked like.
00:28:32Just calm down.
00:28:33I'll be back in a few hours.
00:28:34Sarah.
00:28:35You stay here.
00:28:36You stay home.
00:28:37Carly, just stay here.
00:28:38Make sure everything's cool.
00:28:39Drive.
00:28:40Please.
00:28:41You stay home.
00:28:42I've been dying.
00:28:46Gonna be a few more hours.
00:28:53God, damn it.
00:28:57Sorry.
00:28:59I was here a lot last year.
00:29:02My mom was sick.
00:29:07Let me.
00:29:11What was she here for?
00:29:16Blood cancer.
00:29:21She left me a message the day she died.
00:29:26I didn't even call her back.
00:29:32Let's take a walk.
00:29:35Sarah, it's Mom.
00:29:37Are you coming by today?
00:29:39They say tomorrow might be another scan.
00:29:44I couldn't eat breakfast, really.
00:29:46I just feel it's worse.
00:29:50I hope to see you.
00:29:52I love you.
00:29:54Sorry, but it's hard to hear.
00:29:58She was beautiful when I was a kid.
00:30:01Every detail was perfect.
00:30:04The way she wore her clothes,
00:30:06the smell of her perfume.
00:30:10I've wanted to open a store for years.
00:30:14Even if I did,
00:30:16it's not like she'd be there to see it.
00:30:19What about your dad?
00:30:21He died a few years ago.
00:30:24I heard you were married once.
00:30:30But she died too?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:40I'm sorry.
00:30:53She's not good.
00:30:55She's not good.
00:30:56But you know, it's hard to know
00:30:58because she's such a hypochondriac.
00:31:01Oh, my God.
00:31:03Fine, Ma, don't worry.
00:31:04Don't worry, you look terrible.
00:31:05What happened to you?
00:31:06I got in a fight.
00:31:07A fight?
00:31:08What's that?
00:31:09Jesus Christ, are you all right?
00:31:10This is you working hard.
00:31:12I was working hard. I had a gig.
00:31:13Partying all hours of the night.
00:31:15What did the doctor say?
00:31:16Dad, what is this?
00:31:17What's what?
00:31:18It's a collection notice.
00:31:19It's not my fault if you're out there buying...
00:31:20For you.
00:31:24What was I supposed to do?
00:31:26Close up for six months
00:31:27while I wait for the insurance money?
00:31:28We would have been finished.
00:31:29The insurance came after a month.
00:31:34It came after six.
00:31:36After the recession hit,
00:31:37we started losing money.
00:31:39I thought things would turn around
00:31:40in a year or so, but...
00:31:43They didn't.
00:31:47And then that damn storm hit.
00:31:49I had to take out a loan.
00:31:51Put the business up for collateral.
00:31:53I knew you wouldn't let me,
00:31:55so I told you the money came
00:31:56from the insurance company.
00:31:59When the insurance check came,
00:32:01it covered only half the cost.
00:32:03I didn't want either of you to know how bad it was.
00:32:15It's gonna be okay.
00:32:16You're gonna have to lay off
00:32:17some of the part-timers.
00:32:18The rest get a 10% cut.
00:32:19No more overtime.
00:32:2210%?
00:32:23If we can refinance,
00:32:24make some sacrifices,
00:32:26we can get through this.
00:32:33I'm sorry, but the request for a loan modification
00:32:43has been denied.
00:32:44What?
00:32:45We can make the payments.
00:32:46The loan is more than 90 days past due.
00:32:48We have the right to collect immediately.
00:32:50What does that mean, collect immediately?
00:32:53The business was put up as collateral,
00:32:56so we will assume ownership and liquidate it.
00:32:59That's outrageous.
00:33:00It was in the contract you signed.
00:33:01You will make less money
00:33:02than if you just let us make the payments.
00:33:04I'm sorry.
00:33:05That is the bank's decision.
00:33:06Look, then I wanna talk to a manager.
00:33:07He'll tell you the same thing.
00:33:08The decision is final.
00:33:10You better believe
00:33:15that Better Business Bureau is gonna hear about this
00:33:17and our congressmen.
00:33:19This is unheard of behavior,
00:33:21and you should be ashamed of yourself.
00:33:23It's no wonder the small businesses in this town
00:33:25are packing up and leaving.
00:33:27I showed you the numbers.
00:33:28We are a viable business.
00:33:30This is the kind of place this community needs.
00:33:49Dad said he mortgaged the house.
00:33:50Roger doesn't want some money.
00:33:51This is gonna kill my dad.
00:33:53Maybe literally.
00:33:54If we tried to get into Roger's office,
00:33:56he wouldn't talk to us.
00:33:57Will you talk to him?
00:33:58And say what exactly?
00:34:00I don't know, but he'll take your call
00:34:02because he does business with you.
00:34:03Sam, I wanna help,
00:34:04but I don't know what I can say.
00:34:07Maybe if you told him that unless he modifies our loan,
00:34:11he won't go through with the deal.
00:34:13Sam, we signed a contract.
00:34:16To be honest, this hasn't been a very good year.
00:34:18I kinda need to make this deal.
00:34:19What happens if you don't do it?
00:34:21You lose your business?
00:34:22You lose your house?
00:34:24You said you rebuilt after the storm.
00:34:26I mean, you wrote a check.
00:34:28My family lost everything we had.
00:34:30Yeah, I wrote a check.
00:34:32And you know how I could afford to?
00:34:34By not writing the wrong ones.
00:34:36I'm not writing a charity,
00:34:37and I got a lot of money tied up in this deal.
00:34:39And you're asking me to dump it for what?
00:34:41To help a restaurant that's already gone under?
00:34:43To help a guy who took a catering job
00:34:45and wound up in a fist fight with his client?
00:34:48Look, I'm sorry if this sounds harsh,
00:34:50but I'm a businessman, and this is business.
00:34:53I know.
00:34:54I'm asking a lot, and I'm sorry, but I have to.
00:34:58Because this is everything for my family.
00:35:02Please.
00:35:10I'm sorry, Sam.
00:35:12You're asking for something I can't do.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:42Here.
00:36:03So what you were saving it for?
00:36:05I was saving it for my retirement, so...
00:36:10Maybe.
00:36:12I haven't lived a day
00:36:14without that building being in our family.
00:36:22When I was growing up,
00:36:23your granddad fixed it in my head
00:36:24that this was the land of opportunity.
00:36:28The city is full of people
00:36:29who think they're gonna hit it big one day.
00:36:31How many of them do?
00:36:34Those things get bigger and bigger.
00:36:38The rest of us...
00:36:39here's to the house.
00:36:48Hello?
00:36:49How could you do that?
00:36:50That was a business decision.
00:36:51That was not a business decision, and you know it.
00:37:05You were ruining these people's lives over a look.
00:37:07You haven't looked at me like that in such a long time.
00:37:09Roger, nothing happened.
00:37:12I didn't do anything.
00:37:13I don't wanna hurt you.
00:37:14I'm sorry, I'm confused.
00:37:15You didn't do anything because you don't want to?
00:37:17Or you didn't do anything because you're not allowed to?
00:37:19Oh, God.
00:37:20Which is it, Sarah?
00:37:21Roger.
00:37:22Come on, you wanted it to.
00:37:23Just admit it.
00:37:24Roger, I want us.
00:37:25I want us.
00:37:26I want us to feel right.
00:37:28But we don't.
00:37:32Are you happy with me right now?
00:37:34Yeah.
00:37:35Yeah, of course I am.
00:37:36Truly?
00:37:39Yeah.
00:37:47Because I'm not.
00:37:48I'm not happy.
00:37:51And I don't think that you are either because you couldn't be and do what you did to that family.
00:37:56I made my own decision.
00:37:57I don't regret it.
00:37:59If you can't do that, then you need to figure your s*** out.
00:38:05I think we need to spend some time apart.
00:38:10Sarah.
00:38:12I think we should separate.
00:38:15Officially.
00:38:17Sarah.
00:38:18Hold on.
00:38:19Hang on.
00:38:20Hang on.
00:38:21You don't want to do this.
00:38:22I do.
00:38:23I'm sorry, but I really do.
00:38:38What are you doing here?
00:38:40Tom told me what happened.
00:38:44I'm so sorry.
00:38:47That is not your fault at all.
00:38:54Want a drink?
00:38:56Understatement.
00:39:16I always had a plan.
00:39:17Every day I woke up thinking of my restaurant.
00:39:22Thinking of the next step to get there.
00:39:26And now.
00:39:30Nothing.
00:39:36I saw that in my dad too.
00:39:37Every day of his life he had that restaurant.
00:39:45And today.
00:39:47Part of him was just.
00:39:50Gone.
00:39:53And I used to think more than anything that I was different from him.
00:39:55Or the same.
00:39:58Exactly the same.
00:40:03Exactly the same.
00:40:04What did I miss?
00:40:05I was thinking.
00:40:06What did I miss?
00:40:07What did I miss?
00:40:08What did I miss?
00:40:09I was thinking.
00:40:10About you.
00:40:24Your dad.
00:40:26Maybe your old place is gone, but what if you opened up a new one?
00:40:43What?
00:40:44It takes a lot.
00:40:46It takes.
00:40:47Money?
00:40:49Yeah.
00:40:51Can this get you started?
00:40:59I can't take that.
00:41:00You can.
00:41:02You can use it to start over.
00:41:07Sarah.
00:41:09That's really generous, but I can't take it.
00:41:12You had more than that taken away from you.
00:41:17Please take it.
00:41:19I kind of need you to take it.
00:41:22What about Roger?
00:41:23It's my money.
00:41:24But it's from our joint account, so you might want to cash it soon.
00:41:34Like, today.
00:41:38I feel like a teenager, sleeping at your parents house.
00:41:42Sorry.
00:41:44Don't be.
00:41:45It's kind of awesome.
00:41:54I don't know.
00:41:55I don't know.
00:42:17Who is that?
00:42:19Why is there always someone there?
00:42:21You brought a girl here.
00:42:22Oh, it's not like that.
00:42:24You're lucky your mom's not here to see that.
00:42:26Where'd she go, Sorley?
00:42:27Work.
00:42:29She took a job as a bookkeeper.
00:42:30That was fast.
00:42:31It came as a surprise, but...
00:42:33She has friends there.
00:42:37So...
00:42:40What's it like with this girl?
00:42:46I want to talk to you about that.
00:42:47I want some...
00:42:48Now...
00:42:50What?
00:42:52Thanks.
00:42:54Take all the time you need.
00:42:56It's not by the water.
00:42:57No.
00:42:59No it's not by the water.
00:43:01Which...
00:43:02means less storm damage.
00:43:03It's also the reason Josh is willing to rent it to us for so little if he couldn't make it here
00:43:07What makes you think you can he was going for Asian fusion in a neighborhood?
00:43:10That's about seafood comfort food. They gave it a year didn't work out. That was the best of us
00:43:21Like the bar would this be your place or mine three hours?
00:43:26Yeah, hotel's good. It's all right. I set up a few things
00:43:34It's weird not having you in the house. I know I'm sorry
00:43:37But this is what we need to do right now. How long? I don't know maybe for a while
00:43:42We're not working Roger. How do you know you're not even here? Listen, please. I just need some time and space
00:43:49Okay for now we're separated. Yeah, but Sarah if we just talk about it, it's gonna be fine
00:43:53So I need you to stop this come back
00:43:56I don't know if I want to
00:44:02Look I know you're scared, but this place is smaller
00:44:05Business is picking back up all over town. Everything is being repaired from the storm. And what about the next storm?
00:44:12We don't have enough to retire not with what we've lost
00:44:16What if we lose this house?
00:44:22If you would take a regular job just for a few years we could save money we could plan our retirement
00:44:30Why risk everything?
00:44:32Because running a restaurant is what I do
00:44:34Because running a restaurant is what I do
00:44:36It's what I've always done
00:44:38That's what I've always done
00:44:40Without that what am I?
00:44:44You're my husband
00:44:48You had that restaurant
00:44:50Thirty years
00:44:52And it was beautiful
00:44:54But it's over
00:44:56But it's over
00:44:58You're my husband
00:45:00And it's over
00:45:02You're my husband
00:45:04You're my husband
00:45:06And you're my husband
00:45:08I'm sorry
00:45:10You're my husband
00:45:42Not many people call me before 8 a.m. and live.
00:46:00That's everything you needed.
00:46:01Can I get in today?
00:46:02You're an eager m***h.
00:46:07Hey.
00:46:09Need a job?
00:46:12Yes.
00:46:16Yes.
00:46:31Oh, my God.
00:46:32Get that going.
00:46:36Maybe too late.
00:46:39Everything good had been made.
00:46:46So I just get loaded.
00:46:51Never leave my house.
00:46:53It's taking way too long to figure this out.
00:47:01No, my lady.
00:47:03No, I mean it.
00:47:06It's not as bad as it seems.
00:47:09And we'll try.
00:47:11And our own ways you get better.
00:47:16Even if we're alone.
00:47:18I hate talking about money.
00:47:36I don't want to talk about love.
00:47:39I hate thinking I'm not the same as I was.
00:47:48I lose my faith in people.
00:47:52Why even take the time?
00:47:56You've got your problems.
00:47:59Oh, yeah.
00:48:00Come on in.
00:48:01Oh, wow.
00:48:02I'm pretty much there.
00:48:04Man, it's amazing.
00:48:07Have you ever met Josh?
00:48:08Yes.
00:48:09Hi, how are you, fürad?
00:48:11I don't try in our own ways to get better,
00:48:18even if we're alone.
00:48:20Hey!

00:56:20Thanks, everyone, for coming out here.
00:56:42I know we're anxious to close the deal,
00:56:44but I think we're done for the day.
00:56:46Excuse me?
00:56:47I want to look over this in a little more detail
00:56:49before we purchase the real estate.
00:56:50You send the contract.
00:56:51Roger.
00:56:51We both know that the contract isn't fully executed
00:56:53until the money is transferred.
00:56:54You barely have the money.
00:57:12Hey.
00:57:13Can I get a beer?
00:57:21It's five bucks.
00:57:28Keep the change.
00:57:30I had a bad day today.
00:57:32I had to fire Charlie.
00:57:35Shit.
00:57:36I'm starting to regret having made this deal.
00:57:40I'm not sure what I'm getting out of this investment.
00:57:41Anyway, I came to say I'm sorry.
00:57:47You came to me as a friend.
00:57:49I let you down.
00:57:50I'm not really used to having friends.
00:57:56And I was wrong.
00:57:56This place is coming along great.
00:57:58I don't know how you're doing it.
00:57:59What, are you catering again?
00:58:00Or not this time.
00:58:04I think part of what went wrong in New York
00:58:06is I always wanted more.
00:58:07I wanted everything to be perfect.
00:58:12I didn't pick my moment.
00:58:14And it never happened.
00:58:19Well, we have an investor.
00:58:21He gave us enough to get it open.
00:58:22This is our moment.
00:58:24We open in ten days.
00:58:26I want to help.
00:58:29What do you have in mind?
00:58:29You know what I do need help with?
00:58:36I need to paint this place.
00:58:39If you want to invest in this,
00:58:41you try that.
00:58:47Yeah, that's clear.
00:58:49I'm dripping on my brown.
00:58:51I mean, now I want to get it perfect.
00:58:54Oh, yeah.

01:00:03Goddamn right, because that's the American dream.
01:00:06And I gave it to her.
01:00:07My wife, she doesn't have to worry about the bills.
01:00:09You know why?
01:00:12Because of me.
01:00:15Now, my wife thinks you do what you love, you do what you dream.
01:00:18People got to make money.
01:00:20What's the matter with that being your dream?
01:00:28Time to go home, man.
01:00:32I could use another drink.
01:00:34I could use another drink.
01:00:58What's up?
01:01:10What's up?
01:01:40I'm sorry if my boss wouldn't let me leave.
01:01:55I'm so sorry, Dad.
01:01:58I'm so sorry I didn't do more during the storm.
01:02:02I let your place get destroyed.
01:02:04It wasn't your fault, Sam.
01:02:07I made you feel like it was.
01:02:10More sandbags wouldn't have stopped all that water.
01:02:14This isn't your fault either.
01:02:17Somebody did this to you.
01:02:20Do you have any idea who?
01:02:37You wrecked my son's restaurant.
01:02:39Good morning.
01:02:41Sorry, I have no idea who you are.
01:02:42You know my son?
01:02:43Sam?
01:02:44His restaurant was vandalized last night.
01:02:46Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:02:47I have no idea how that happened.
01:02:48I think you do.
01:02:49He's dating your wife who left you.
01:02:51You're pissed, so you did this.
01:02:53You guys are dating?
01:02:54Don't change the subject.
01:02:55You know what, sir?
01:02:56Like I said, I have no idea what you're talking about,
01:02:57so I think you should leave my house.
01:02:58Oh, we're not going anywhere until you make this right.
01:03:00Excuse me?
01:03:01You heard what I said.
01:03:02My son busted his ass putting that place together.
01:03:05You have no right to come in there and destroy our property,
01:03:07so you're going to apologize,
01:03:08and you're going to pay for the damages.
01:03:10Until then, we are not leaving.
01:03:11It's your property, huh?
01:03:12It's your property?
01:03:13Did you pay for it?
01:03:14Sam, close the door.
01:03:16If you don't get out of my house right now,
01:03:18I'm going to call the police.
01:03:20Call them.
01:03:21Tell them what you did.
01:03:22The cops in this town come from my neighborhood,
01:03:24not your son.
01:03:25I've been there almost 60 years.
01:03:26Don't think I don't know them and their fathers.
01:03:29Sam!
01:03:30The door.
01:03:31Now, you think you can get away with this.
01:03:34We're here to tell you.
01:03:36You cannot.
01:03:40Get out of my house.
01:03:41No.
01:03:42I said get out of my house.
01:03:43It's not going to happen!
01:03:44Dad!
01:03:46Would you touch my dad again?
01:03:48What's it going to be?
01:03:49Are you going to work with us?
01:03:50Are you going to make some kind of arrangement?
01:03:51Or are we going to call the cops?
01:03:52Call whoever you want.
01:03:53It won't change .
01:03:54Think she's going to move in with you?
01:03:55She's going to move in with your parents?
01:03:56Think that's going to make her happy?
01:03:57You're living in a dream world, buddy.
01:03:59She's so out of your league.
01:04:01Because in the real world,
01:04:02in the real world,
01:04:03she chooses me.
01:04:04And you just hope I leave a big enough tip
01:04:06so you can pay your rent.
01:04:08Oh!
01:04:09Ah!
01:04:10Ah!
01:04:11Ah!
01:04:12Ah!

01:04:33Ah!
01:04:34Ah!
01:04:35Ah!
01:04:36Oh, my God, Sam!
01:04:37What was that?
01:04:38He trashed my place.
01:04:39He destroyed it!
01:04:40I know!
01:04:41I came here to...
01:04:42But what the ?
01:04:43Sam!
01:04:44I know.
01:04:45I'm sorry.
01:04:46I lost it.
01:04:47I just lost it.
01:04:48He said you would never...
01:04:50That is my fault what just happened in there.
01:04:53I am hurting both of you.
01:04:56This isn't good for anybody.
01:04:59I need you to go.
01:05:02I need to not talk to either of you for a while.
01:05:07How long?
01:05:08I don't know.
01:05:13Hey.
01:05:14Sam, please, please.
01:05:20If a disaster happens, you can't stop it.
01:05:38The damage is done.
01:05:42So, you've got two choices.
01:05:46Did you tear it down?
01:05:51Or your bills are back up?
01:05:58Now, I don't know about the next time.
01:06:00Maybe there will be a time that we give up,
01:06:02but I don't think it's today.
01:06:04I think you all want to open tomorrow.
01:06:06Of course we do.
01:06:07We spent weeks getting this place ready.
01:06:09We got till tomorrow night.
01:06:10Then we postpone.
01:06:12Give it two weeks.
01:06:13We just handed out thousands of flyers announcing tomorrow night.
01:06:16It's been retweeted like hundreds of times.
01:06:18Can we do all that again?
01:06:19We can't afford to do it again.
01:06:20I'm out of money at the end of the week.
01:06:22We definitely don't have the money to fix all this.
01:06:25Then we do it now.
01:06:29If you're not going to get more time, you're going to need more people.
01:06:32It's not all about money.
01:06:34Each of you know people in this business.
01:06:36Each of you have favors you can call in.
01:06:38So you just tell them what happened.
01:06:40You ask for their help.
01:06:42Put yourselves out there.
01:06:44And just see what comes back.
01:06:47Yeah.
01:06:49I told you, I can't come back in today.
01:06:52Yeah, I understand.
01:06:53You do what you got to do.
01:06:55Who is that?
01:06:56My boss.
01:06:57Well, former boss.
01:06:58I just got fired.
01:06:59So I'm in.
01:07:01You're hiring?
01:07:05You're hiring a lot.
01:07:06You're hiring a lot.
01:07:07I just need to've been working here.
01:07:08I have to keep embers up.
01:07:09And I do.
01:07:10You're hiring a lot.
01:07:11So you can't be getting more money馬鹿 prohibit.
01:07:12I do buy an equipment like a home.
01:07:14I think, you want to pick them up.
01:07:15But, ultimately, I'm homesick.
01:07:16irt
01:07:35We're building up, building up, oh, oh, oh, we are the kids that will never get old.
01:07:50Okay, he really trashed the kitchen, man.
01:07:52We're gonna need a plumber and I think maybe an electrician.
01:07:55Lots to do in 24 hours.
01:07:58All right, guys, whatever you need, order it.
01:08:00If you need more guys down here, let me know.
01:08:02Let's just get this done. We got till tomorrow.
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:13Who are those people?
01:08:14They're my guys.
01:08:15I pulled them off another job.
01:08:17I hope that's okay.
01:08:25Come on, let's get there.
01:08:34Man, I was right there. I came this close to having it perfect.
01:08:47Because even if we do get this done, she's not gonna be here.
01:08:57I don't know why that matters so much.
01:08:59But it does.
01:09:09I think I'm in love with her.
01:09:14Let's take a break.
01:09:15When I was about your age, I was working in a factory outside Philly.
01:09:30I'd been married seven years.
01:09:32Then I met someone.
01:09:34Yeah, her name was 했는데.
01:09:37Dad.
01:09:38Audrey.
01:09:39You're the next killer.
01:09:40I'mín you.
01:09:42Annette, you know.
01:09:43They're not a good thing.
01:09:44Trust me.
01:09:45If they lay I wouldí-
01:09:46I'm in trouble.
01:09:47Oh, yeah.
01:09:48You ain't Star.
01:09:49It's just a freak out for me, right?
01:09:50this in Thornton?
01:09:51I've been bleh, right?
01:09:52It destroyed me.
01:09:55A few months later, there was an awful storm,
01:09:58and my wife didn't come home that night.
01:10:02The next morning, they found her.
01:10:06Tire tracks were going off a curb in the road,
01:10:09the front of the car was wrapped around a tree.
01:10:19And then a few years later, I got a letter from a lawyer.
01:10:21My wife's aunt had died, and she was the next of kin,
01:10:24her or her spouse.
01:10:26I worked in that factory for ten years,
01:10:28and suddenly, I didn't have to work for another ten.
01:10:31A couple of days later, I just found myself at Catherine's house.
01:10:34I got in the car, and I just...
01:10:36But when I pulled up,
01:10:38I saw this little girl playing in the front yard,
01:10:41and it just changed it.
01:10:46I just couldn't...
01:10:48So, I focused on the money.
01:10:52Five years, I doubled it.
01:10:53Three years, I doubled it again.
01:10:55It's a dangerous thing when someone gets money
01:10:58who knows what money is worth.
01:11:00So, that is how I amassed my wealth.
01:11:04Due mostly to my...
01:11:06...my good fortune.
01:11:11I don't know if I call it that.
01:11:13All I know is this.
01:11:14When I got the check,
01:11:15I didn't know if it was right or wrong.
01:11:16I just knew sure as shit I wanted it.
01:11:18And then, a few months ago,
01:11:22I got another letter from another lawyer
01:11:26settling Catherine's estate.
01:11:27She had told them to send it after her death.
01:11:30And her letter...
01:11:37She said that she always loved me,
01:11:39and that she thought once about
01:11:41leaving her husband for me,
01:11:42but when she found out she was pregnant,
01:11:46she couldn't do it.
01:11:49It's been so long being so hungry to make money.
01:11:52If I could give up that money...
01:11:57to have Catherine be in my life,
01:11:59to have a family,
01:12:01to live the kind of life that other guy lived...
01:12:05I would do it in a heartbeat.
01:12:11All we ever really have
01:12:12is what we have at any given moment.
01:12:14So we decide what we do with it,
01:12:17and who we share it with.
01:12:19I want to hold on to what I have now.
01:12:22Who I have.
01:12:24While they're here.
01:12:26You don't have to know how you go on without her.
01:12:29If you go on without her.
01:12:32You just...
01:12:38You just will.
01:12:44This is not a bad deal.
01:12:47It's not as nice as yours.
01:12:52Sometimes it's nice to see another one.
01:13:08Sun's up.
01:13:10Go home, get some rest.
01:13:12I'll go when I'm done.
01:13:13This bar looked great before.
01:13:14I want to get it perfect for you.
01:13:16It's not gonna be perfect.
01:13:18It's gonna be good enough to serve people food.
01:13:20That'll be enough.
01:13:22Go home, rest.
01:13:23You rest.
01:13:24You gotta cook tonight.
01:13:25I do.
01:13:27I'm a chef.
01:13:28That's what I'm good at.
01:13:30I'm not good at inspiring people.
01:13:33Making a staff feel like a family.
01:13:35Not like you're good at it.
01:13:39That's why you have to go home.
01:13:40Come back fresh.
01:13:41Ready to lead a staff all day.
01:13:46That's why I had this drum up.
01:13:55Sign it and half this place is yours.
01:13:59It's the way it was always supposed to be.
01:14:01You might be happy.
01:14:02It's the way you're looking for your face to be.
01:14:03But you're looking for your face.
01:14:04You're looking for the top of the room.
01:14:05I couldn't sleep.
01:14:06I was worried.
01:14:07Where were you?
01:14:08I'd say I was working.
01:14:09You were working all night.
01:14:10Don't you have to go to work today?
01:14:11Not anymore.
01:14:13They fired me.
01:14:16They fired me.
01:14:24Where are you going?
01:14:25Work. Someone next to me.
01:14:38Still have these.
01:14:41I never asked for them back.
01:14:44How are you feeling?
01:14:45Awful.
01:14:48How's your boyfriend?
01:14:50He's not my boyfriend.
01:14:52We're not together.
01:14:53It seems like you two are together.
01:14:57Not after this.
01:15:01You really don't want to be with him?
01:15:03I don't want to be with anyone.
01:15:05I just want to go away.
01:15:07Be alone.
01:15:09Figure things out.
01:15:12I'm sorry things turned out this way.
01:15:15I meant it then when I told you I would be with you for the rest of my life.
01:15:19What about now?
01:15:23Now I'm gonna go.
01:15:24Now I'm gonna go.
01:15:44Sarah.
01:15:46I'm sorry.
01:15:48I'm sorry.
01:15:58Good morning.
01:16:00What are you grinning for?
01:16:02Let's just hope nobody leans on the balls.
01:16:05Looks good.
01:16:08They were short on the skate wing.
01:16:09I got what they had but it's not enough for the main.
01:16:11F*** it.
01:16:12Squid ink, Rosetta.
01:16:13Jersey Shore style.
01:16:14F*** it.
01:16:15F*** it.
01:16:16Squid ink, Rosetta.
01:16:17Jersey Shore style.
01:16:18Hey, Chef.
01:16:19Hey, Chef.
01:16:20It's good.
01:16:21It's good.
01:16:22It's good.
01:16:23I got what they had but it's not enough for the main.
01:16:25F*** it.
01:16:26Squid ink, Rosetta.
01:16:27Jersey Shore style.
01:16:28Get out.
01:16:31We can get that one.
01:16:36This is deleterated pasta.
01:16:40I have a little cherry.
01:16:42Hey, Chef.
01:16:43That's good.
01:16:44Add a little more garlic.
01:16:45Keep it simmering just a few minutes.
01:16:46I'm over to it.
01:16:4720 minutes.
01:16:49What if no one comes?
01:16:50We're gonna have a lot of leftovers.
01:16:54I'm getting a drink.
01:16:55We're gonna have a lot of leftovers.
01:16:57I need a drink. You need a drink.
01:16:59Hey, you guys got any rope?
01:17:01Rope?
01:17:02Well, poster tape or something.
01:17:04What the hell's he talking about?
01:17:06Something to control the line.
01:17:25Hey, who were all those people in the nice clothes?
01:17:43Well, I may have told everyone in my Rolodex that this was the place to be tonight.
01:17:50So much for everything.
01:17:53Yeah!
01:17:58Hey!
01:18:08It is a beautiful thing seeing all of you here tonight at the opening of my son's restaurant.
01:18:23When my last place went under and I said I was gonna open another at this time in this town, I was told, you're crazy.
01:18:32At first I listened to those voices. I wasn't crazy enough to take the risk.
01:18:41And it is risky doing this.
01:18:54But if you know my son, this business is who he is.
01:18:58And a man who pretends to be anything other than what he is becomes a shadow.
01:19:05So many of you helped put this place together.
01:19:07Tonight only happened because you let yourselves believe in the crazy that was somebody else's.
01:19:15And when you find those people, that person who sees our crazy and still shows up, then you're able to be who you are.
01:19:29And that's the only way to be.
01:19:59Let's go!
01:20:00I don't know.
01:20:01This is a prisoner of amazemosin.
01:20:02They're right.
01:20:03They're right.
01:20:04Please leave a message and I'll call you back.
01:20:05Hey.
01:20:06It's me.
01:20:07I know you said not to call, but I had to.
01:20:08Hear that?
01:20:09Like, the sound of hundred people inside.
01:20:11There's a few people there.
01:20:12I tried to do this once before in New York,
01:20:27Maybe it only worked out this time because I had you.
01:20:33It feels like you should be here, you know?
01:20:36Like I feel happy, but I can't be because you're not here.
01:20:42It feels wrong that you're not here.
01:20:48Anyway, I know that you need some time to think,
01:20:50but if you wanted to come by just for tinnitus to...
01:20:55see this, I'd love that.
01:21:00And if not, no, I'm here.
01:21:05Whenever you're done thinking, I'll be here.
01:21:09No bullshit.
01:22:35Hey, Alec. Great to see you.
01:22:36I saw the sandbags. You're getting nervous?
01:22:38We're going to be as ready as we can be.
01:22:40You going up tonight?
01:22:41Yeah. Is Sam here?
01:22:43In the back.
01:22:45You didn't tell him to take the night off?
01:22:46I tried. He's a partner now. I can't tell him shit anymore.
01:22:49So? Did you decide?
01:23:01Not yet. Apparently.
01:23:04You'd be proud of her. She's worked really hard to open up this shop.
01:23:08Yeah. She sent me this.
01:23:11The place is great. The shop only opens once.
01:23:15Come see it.
01:23:16I don't know if she wants me to.
01:23:18We haven't talked much.
01:23:19A few emails and texts, so...
01:23:21Look.
01:23:23The place is slammed.
01:23:24I got a possible storm coming in four days.
01:23:26She said she'd let me know when she wanted to talk.
01:23:28I was trying to do what she asked.
01:23:29You still think you're in love with her?
01:23:33I know I am.
01:23:37You once told me that making good things happen was about knowing your moment.
01:23:42And taking it.
01:23:45That was good advice.
01:23:49I'm going to go grab a bite at the bar and hit the road in about 30 minutes.
01:23:52Yeah.
01:23:59Excuse me.
01:24:24Made it.
01:24:25Of course.
01:24:26Oh, I had to come check on my investment.
01:24:28Everything's going so well.
01:24:30It's a good crowd.
01:24:30I think it's going to be a good opening.
01:24:32I'm so proud of you.
01:24:39I'm going to go get a drink.
01:24:52I didn't know if you were going to come.
01:24:54I didn't know if you wanted me to come.
01:24:55But I know you have the place to run and the storm's coming.
01:24:59None of that matters.
01:25:02Because I love you.
01:25:08There's always going to be a storm.
01:25:10There's always going to be things to deal with.
01:25:11I don't know that you got this place now.
01:25:13It's amazing.
01:25:15I'm not asking you to give any of it up.
01:25:19I'm two hours away.
01:25:22We can figure it out.
01:25:23But I'd like to figure it out with you.
01:25:25Because I want to be with you.
01:25:31There's nowhere else I would rather be tonight than here.
01:25:33I'm done.
01:25:42I'm done thinking.
01:26:03There's always going to be.
