have always believed that
everyone has a purpose in life.

The trick is to know
when you've found it.

I found mine when I baked
my first cupcake.

I was 12 years old

and it was like I discovered
a secret.

[ding]

I could take a few ingredients,
mix them together,

add a little heat,

and I could make magic.

[power shorts]

Sam!

Ok, that ought to fix it.

Just let me reconnect this...
and, got it.

Oh, yes.

Thank you, Sam.

Whew!

What would I do without you?

Well for one thing,
get rid of this old truck

and do what you always said
you were gonna do.

Open a real bake shop.

Sam.

Yes?

I can't afford to buy
a new truck,

much less pay the rent
on some building.

Well, you know I would give it
to you if I had it.

Aww.

Thank you, but I am not taking
money from my best friend.

Just having you work with me
is more than enough already.

Ok, but how about asking
your parents for a loan?

Oh.

[laughs]

Are you kidding me?

They're still upset
that I left Ohio.

I can't exactly call
my mom up and say

"Hi, not doing so well
with this whole adult thing.

"Can I borrow some money?"

Besides, for now I just prefer
the more mobile approach

to the cupcake business.

That way I'm not tied down
to anything.

Or anybody.

We are not having
this conversation.

Ok, alright.

Thank you.

How was your blind date
last night?

Ok at first.

But then I asked him
the test question.

Mmm. The superhero one.

If you could have
a super power,

(together): flying
or invisibility,

which would it be?

And he said?

Invisibility.

Exactly.

Which means he is fundamentally
sneaky and untrustworthy.

You know, the FBI should really
think about hiring you

with that foolproof
system of yours.

I put a call in,
they're getting back to me.

[laughs]

The point is that I'm still out
there trying

and you should be, too.

Just because one guy
broke your trust

doesn't mean
they're all going to.

I mean, haven't you
thought about dating?

No?

I have thought about it.

And?

And then I stopped.

Hi, good morning.

Welcome to Sweet Treats.

What can I get you?

They want it when?

Look, it's not a Post-It note,

it's a quarterly
investment report.

I mean, I haven't finished the
seasonal adjustment analysis.

How do they expect us to turn it
around this fast?

What?

Alright, alright, look.

I'll see you at the office,
but I'm warning you,

we're gonna be staying
late tonight.

Ok.

Buh-bye.

I thought we were going
to the park after school.

I know honey, I'm sorry,
but duty calls.

Let's go tomorrow instead.

Mom always used to cut
the crusts off.

Well luckily,
when you're with me,

you get the whole sandwich.

Alright, alright.

You drive a hard bargain.

No crust.

Ok.

Oh, I called Monica's mom
and she said that

you could ride into school
with them this morning.

Ok, daddy.

Don't forget
about the bake sale.

Bake sale?

For the Fall Fun Fair next week
at school, remember?

You promised I could bring
something for the bake sale.

And daddy, it has
to be homemade.

Really?

Homemade.

Listen.

Me and you?

We're gonna figure this out,
Lily.

I promise.

Come here.

I love you.

I love you too, daddy.

Alright sir, here are
your two carrot cake

and two gluten-free chocolate.

Thank you so much.

Have a good day!

So how long did it take you
to write the book?

Those sold out fast.

Well, Anna, Howe
to Bake Anything

is a culmination of years
of work-

What're you watching?

Oh, um, nothing.
Nothing.

You see, to me baking
is more than just a job.

It's always been my true love.

And I hope that comes across
in the book.

It certainly does.

My guest today has been
David Howe and his new book,

"Howe to Bake Anything"
is available everywhere.

I'm so sorry, Nat.

I was browsing and it-

Look, it's no big deal, really.
Don't worry about it.

Really?

After what that guy did to you

I'm surprised you can even stand
the sight of him.

What happened, happened.

It doesn't bother me anymore.

Are you sure?

Absolutely. I'm totally over it.

You know, David Howe is like
these day-old cupcakes.

Sweet at the time
but now a little stale.

Hmm.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm heading
into the office now.

Thank you.

Just uh, get the documents ready
and we'll go over them together.

No, no, I understand that.

Just set up a meeting
for tomorrow morning and-

Ohh!

I'm so sorry.

Nick, I gotta call you back.
Something just came up.

Yeah.

Here, let me see it.

No, no, my fault.
What was I thinking?

Just...

Um, it's fine. Yeah.

Uh, let me pay for your
dry cleaning.

It's not necessary, honestly,

I- you know, it'll...
maybe come out.

Please, it'll make me feel
so much better.

Here. Here's my number.

These things happen,
you know what?

And I really do need
to get to my-

There's nothing I can do?

I don't think so.

A free cupcake! Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

A cupcake.

They're very good.

That's a red velvet
and pumpkin and vanilla.

Yeah, this is the one.
This is the winner.

Thank you.

Have a good day!

Thank you, you too!

What?

What?

Hey, it's me.

Listen, I'm gonna be
a little late.

I um... I have to do
some shopping.

Yeah, ok.

Bye bye.

Congratulations.

For what?

You gave that guy your number,
great start.

That was for him to call me

so I could pay for ruining
his suit.

And when he does,
what then?

I'll pay for his suit
and that's all.

You're incredible.

Thank you.

Here you have a perfect
opportunity to meet someone

and you're just letting it go.

I told you, I am not interested
in dating, Sam.

What I am interested in
is tomorrow's cupcake order.

[knocking]

Hello.

Hello.

I'm looking for Natalie Morgan.

Natalie Morgan.

Hi, that's me.

Have a nice day.

Hey.

Hey.

Nice shirt. New?

Long story.

Those the seasonal numbers?

Yeah.

I've gone over them a half
a dozen times

and they're still out of whack.

I must be reading
something wrong.

You?

That's kinda hard to believe.

Even a genius can have
an off day.

[laughs]

Oh, somebody left this for you
at the front desk.

Ah.

Hey, Nick, do you know
how to bake?

Man, I burn water.

Why?

My daughter Lily's got
this bake sale coming up,

I gotta figure something out.

Whatever you do, do it right.

Those bake sales can be vicious.

I don't believe it.

Oh yeah.

Those other parents
will absolutely judge you

on your cooking.

No, no.

I meant this.

Here, take a look.

Huh.

I didn't know you had
an Aunt Bea.

Yeah. My mom's sister.

She passed away a couple
of months ago.

I loved Aunt Bea.

I didn't get to see her
that often

but she always remembered
my birthday,

I always got a card
each year, that kinda thing.

I think this might be about
more than just a birthday card.

I still can't believe Bea left
me something in her will.

What're you talking about?
She loved you.

I loved her, too.

She used to call me the daughter
she never had.

Did she have any other family?

I think she had a sister
in Paris

and a nephew she saw
a couple times a year.

And she had you.

Yes.

Did you know she used to own
a bakery here in town?

No.

Yeah, we would sit and talk
about pastries for hours.

Ugh, we had so much
fun together.

Well, maybe this is her way
of saying thank you.

[together] You.

Hi.

Hello.

Small world.

Isn't it?

Yeah.

No coffee today.

Oh, no.

I um, I figured I wouldn't have
time to go home

between meetings so...

Ok, I- I offered to pay
for your dry cleaning,

I- I was kidding.

I'm kidding.

It's fine, really.

Please don't worry
about it, ok?

Yep.

Nice to see you again.

Have a good day.

[laughs]

Oh, well...

We meet again.

Yeah.

After you.

No, no, no. You first.

How about we go together.

Alright.

Ok.

Ok.

[together] I'm here to see
Stanley Cardillo.

What?

Are you kidding?

Why are you here?

For the same reason you are,
Miss Morgan.

In fact, we're all here
to talk about Aunt Bea.

So you're the...

the nephew that she always
talked about.

Yeah, and uh, you must be
the girl with the cupcakes

she was always raving about.

Yeah.

What a coincidence.

Yes.

Well, I hope it's a happy one

because you two are
sort of stuck

in this situation together.

What do you mean, situation?

Oh, well I- I guess I wasn't
clear in my letter.

Most of Ms. Delitto's
liquid estate

was given to her favourite
charities, pet rescue, shelters,

that sort of thing.

But she also left behind

a fairly valuable
piece of property.

It consists of this
building here

which we believe was some type
of retail space at one time.

And uh, behind it there is
an old carriage house.

Wait.

Are you saying that we own
this place together?

Well, not exactly together.

Mr. Schneider, you own
the building proper

and Miss Morgan, you have
the carriage house.

Oh, what a sweet thing to do.

Your Aunt Bea knew I was having
a hard time

paying for a place to park
my truck at night.

Ah.

Oh, I see.

Yeah.

Well, now you can afford to park
anywhere you want.

[laughs]

Wait, what do you mean?

Well, I mean, we're gonna sell
the property, right?

Sell it?

That would be the smart thing
to do.

Real estate is at an all-time
high in the city,

especially in
that neighbourhood,

and if you wanna avoid
a big tax bill-

Exactly.

I mean, you know,
we'll split it,

but since I own
the main building

and you just have
the garage...

Carriage house.

Ok, carriage house.

Um, since you just have that,
I figure 75/25 split

sounds about right?

Well, before we discuss
profit shares,

um, shouldn't we at least
see the place?

I mean, it was a part of
your Aunt Bea's life

and you're her family
and I was her good friend.

The least we could do is,
you know,

visit the place before we
put it on the chopping block.

Right?

I remember this place.

I used to come here
when I was a kid.

I can't believe
this is Delitto's.

Yeah.

She used to talk about
this place all the time.

Yeah, my uh, my mom and dad

used to bring me here
when I was little.

This is amazing.

You should see all the stuff
in here.

Yeah?

I wonder if it still works.

Well, you know,

we don't really have to worry
about any of this stuff.

Whoever buys the place
will take care of everything.

Natalie?

Natalie?

Oh.

Oh?

Yes!

Perfect!

There's plenty of room to park.

Ok, why are you still talking
about parking?

Well... that's- that's why
your aunt gave me this place.

So that I could put my truck
in here.

Well, you know, the good news is
once we sell this place

you'll have all the money in the
world to park wherever you want.

I don't know.

What do you mean?

I don't think we should sell it.

Are you kidding?
Not sell?

This place must be worth
a fortune.

It is sitting on prime
real estate

in the middle of the city.

I know, but...

Wha- what're we supposed
to do with it?

I mean, it's not
as though bakeries

have a big profit margin.

A: they're expensive,

and B: the return on investment
is negligible.

Oh.

So- so you've researched this,
have you?

I'm a finance manager,

so it's kinda my job to know
about this sort of thing.

I mean, I guess you're right,
but...

Alright, well, look.

You're part owner so I need you
to agree to this

before we can do anything,
alright?

So how about this:
we sell the property,

we split the money,
and we just...

we go our separate ways.

Do we have a deal?

Eric, it has been too long.

It's so good to see you.

Oh, hey.

You too, Courtney.

Thank you for helping us with-

It's absolutely my pleasure.

Right.

Hi.

Hi.

Yes, this is Natalie.

She's the one I told you about
who owns part of the property.

The garage.

The carriage house.

Right. Yes.

Come on in.

Anyway...

So I wasn't sure who to call
about it

but then I remembered you handle
properties like this.

So I said to myself,
why not ask Courtney?

I'm just happy you thought
of me, both of you.

And I wish I had better news.

What do you mean?

Well, you know me,
I do my homework,

and I'm afraid Delitto's Bakery

is actually listed with
the State as an historic site.

That's wonderful.

Well, is it?

It depends what you plan
to do with it.

You see, according to the rules

the property and any buildings
on it

cannot be rezoned
or substantially altered.

In fact, it can't even
be renovated

without approval of the Historic
Preservation Society

and they love their red tape.

Well, doesn't that make
the property more valuable?

In theory, yes, but in this
real estate market?

Nobody wants a property
like this

unless they can put condos
on it.

So I approached some
of my regular buyers.

And?

Nobody wants it.

You're kidding.

I wish I were.

I even tried some of
my overseas investors.

They'll buy anything.

But uh, yeah, no bites.

So what does this mean for us?

It means congratulations,
you two own a bakery.

You mean you can't sell it?

We're trying to
but the realtor said

it's gonna be tough to find
a buyer.

Um, well, look on
the bright side.

Maybe this is your big chance.

For what?

To have a real bake shop.

You said that all the equipment
is still there

and the building is still solid,

so maybe you should think about
re-opening it.

To be honest...

Yeah?

That's the first thing I thought
when I saw the place.

And?

No.

Why not?

Well, for one thing
I don't own it.

I'm just part owner
of this property.

Ok. You could talk to this
Eric guy

about going into
business together.

Sam, I barely know this man.

But you like him, don't you?

I don't know.

But?

But...

you saw what happened the last
time I trusted someone.

I just don't think I'm ready
to take that chance again.

I get it.

But Nat, you can't go through
the rest of your life

not trusting people.

Maybe it's time you give it
another try.

Well, thank you gentlemen,

and if you change your mind
please just let me know.

Alright.

Thank you.

[sighs]

No luck?

Nope.

And that was the third investor
this week.

They're all interested.

Hmm.

It's the historic preservation
thing that's scaring them away.

What if we don't sell?

Well, I don't know about you,

but I can't afford to keep
this place as a hobby.

I'm not talking about a hobby.

I am talking about
a business.

What if we re-open
Delitto's Bakery?

Wait, you mean
"we" as in you and me?

That is a terrible idea.

Why?

Well, for starters it would cost
a lot of money,

and two, most food
businesses fail.

Mine hasn't.

You sell cupcakes on wheels.

It's not quite the same, is it?

I'm sorry, I- I didn't
mean that.

They're good cupcakes.

Apology accepted.

I'm sorry, I'm- I'm just
frustrated, is all.

[sigh]

I think the only way out of this
mess is for me to go down

to the Historical Preservation
Society

and see if they've got
some kind of appeals process

or a waiver or something

so that we can convince somebody
to buy this place.

I've got a better idea.

Alright, Miss Morgan.

You're looking to buy out
your partner's interest

in the property at 445 Howell.

Is that right?

Well, he's- he's
not really my partner.

We just own the property
together, so...

well, I guess that
would make him my partner,

but- but we're not together-

Yeah, I understand.

And the property in question
is a bakery with a garage-

Carriage house.

Carriage house.

And uh, your collateral
against this loan would be?

I own 25 percent
of the property.

Unfortunately the bank's policy
doesn't permit

using a property as collateral
against a loan

for its own purchase.

Do you have anything else?

My cupcake truck.

Your cupcake truck?

From the look on your face

I can tell you've already heard
the bad news.

Yeah.

The claim for the waiver on my
bakery building just got denied.

I'm never gonna be able
to sell this place now.

Uh, that's not exactly the bad
news I'm talking about.

They can't do this.

They've already done it.

They're shutting down
the whole department.

We're officially unemployed.

[rain pouring]

Dad, I'm home.

Oh, hey, honey.

So what're you doing home, dad?

What, I don't even get
a kiss first?

There we go.

Uh, well I just thought I would
take the- the day off

so we can finally
go to the park.

What do you say?

It's raining.

Ah, we'll take umbrellas.

What's in the box?

Oh, uh, that stuff is
from my office and it was um,

you know, just cluttering
my desk, so...

What's this?

Oh, well now this,

this is a very special gift
from your Great Aunt Bea.

It's a bakery.

We're gonna have our own bakery?

Cool!

Thank you.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello.

So, what's today's special?

It is the pumpkin spice.

Ah. Sounds good.

Uh, I'll take one.

I'll get you one of those.

Playing hooky
from the office today?

Not exactly, I'm sort of um...

taking a leave of absence
at the moment,

but I am working
on a very big,

top secret project right now.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

You see, I'm planning on
re-opening my family's bakery,

and I wondered
if you knew anyone

who would be interested
in something like that.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

When we move the oven
from this area

we can replace it with something
more efficient.

And I was also thinking
we're gonna need

all new electric mixers.

And, oh, the walk-in fridge.

We gotta replace that.

Ok, woah, woah, woah, woah!

Woah, hold on a second.
Walk -in fridge?

Why- why are we suddenly
buying all new equipment?

Because most of these appliances
are outdated

and it's probably gonna cost
more to repair them

than replace them.

Ok, shouldn't we hold off
on making that call

until we test the stuff first?

Well, I've seen the appliances

and I know what
I'm talking about.

Fine.

Yeah?

Yeah. Ok.

Good, 'cause that was sounding
very expensive.

I just thought that since
we were partners

you would respect my
professional opinion.

Uh, I do respect your
professional opinion

but I also think you kinda need
to respect our budget

which, by the way, I am
contributing 75 percent

so there's that.

Oh.

So because I'm only
putting in 25 percent

my opinion is only worth
25 percent?

No, I'm not going there.
I'm just saying

that we should probably respect
the budget. I'm not really-

You did go there.

Oh hey, hi, honey.
Hi.

Um, Lily, this is Natalie.

Hi.

It's nice to meet you.

Hello.

Uh, Natalie and I are working
on opening the bakery together.

Cool.

Is there going to be
gingerbread men?

Well, if you think
there should be, why not?

Right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, honey, why don't you get
started on your homework

and then we'll have
some pizza later?

Ok.

Oh, dad, don't forget, you
promised about the bake sale.

I promise I won't forget.

Nice to meet you.

[laughs]

You too.

That's my daughter.

Well, she's very lovely.

Thank you.

And she lives with you?

Uh, yeah.

Her mom and I divorced
a couple of years ago

and Paula, that's my ex,

she's doing a year with Doctors
Without Borders,

so for right now
it's just me and Lily.

And a bake sale.

Yes.

For the school.

Fall fun fair.

[laughs]

Well, what're you gonna bake?

I have no idea.

You want my help.

No, no, no, no.
I'm not going there.

Uh, I'll- I'll figure something
out, honestly.

I- I don't want
to bother you, so-

Oh, come on.
It is no bother.

I can whip something up
and it'll be done

by the time we're finished here.

Really?

Yep.

Where's your flour
and baking powder?

Um, right.

I don't exactly, uh, have
any of that...

kind of stuff.

Do you even know how to bake?

Well...

[laughing]

So.

Hmm?

The secret to baking
is chemistry.

Ah.

Mmmhmm.

It's all about the perfect
balance of ingredients

at the right temperature.

Mmmhmm.

Yes, there's always
a certain level

of experimentation involved,

but when you finally find
the right recipe,

well, there's nothing like it.

Hmm.

Eric.

Hey, Courtney. Hi.

Uh, you remember Natalie?

Yes, yes.

With the carriage house.

That's right.

[laughs]

You two shopping together?

Oh, yeah.

Um, uh, Natalie is helping me
with Lily's bake sale at school

and fortunately Natalie
knows how to bake.

How ambitious.

Listen, I've still had
no nibbles on your property

but I am not giving up.

Uh, right.

Uh, yeah, uh, listen.
About that...

Daddy and Natalie
are opening the bakery again!

Oh.

You are.

You- you and Natalie together?

Yes.

How fun.

So I guess you'll be wanting
to take the property

off the market then?

Honestly, Courtney,
I meant to call you-

I'm sure you did.

You know what?
Don't worry about it.

I'll just- I'll take care
of everything.

You call me next week
and uh,

it was nice to see you again,
Natalie.

You too.

Alright, bye bye.

[ding]

Woah.

I finally got her tucked in.

She's still worried about
the bake sale tomorrow

but I told her we're
in very good hands.

Mmm, these smell so good.

Chocolate manchesters.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Oh, no, no, no, no!

Not yet, you just have
to let them cool a bit

so that the flavour isn't
overpowered by the heat.

Wow. So technical.

Mmm.

You know, I'm probably gonna win
father of the month for these.

You know, I could teach you
how to make them yourself

and you might win
father of the year.

I think I'll just leave it
with the specialist,

but thank you.

[laughs]

Hey, do you want some?

Yeah.

So was it just my imagination

or was your friend Courtney
a little...

uptight at the market?

Huh, I didn't notice.

[laughs]

Yes! Yes.

Ok.

Right?

I completely noticed.

Yeah, um... you see, the thing
is, after my divorce

I, well, I dated here and there
and Courtney was there

and she wanted to be a here.

Oh.

So it just didn't work out.

What about you?

Me?

Yeah.

You uh, have anyone special
in your life?

Nope.

I mean, I- I dated someone
for a while,

but it ended.

Cookies are ready.

You made cookies for him?

Actually they were
for his daughter.

Either way, it's a big step.

Forget it, Sam.

Come on, Nat.

Everyone knows that
the first sign of trust

is baking for someone.

Oh, everyone knows this?

That's right.

Eric and I are strictly
business partners, that is it.

Um, didn't you tell me
that the two of you

are spending the afternoon
together?

We have a meeting
with contractors to talk

about the bakery,
that is it.

For your information
my relationship with Eric

is not now,

nor is it ever going to be,
romantic.

I think that one's done.

Oh boy.

[laughing]

I'll be honest,

just getting this place up to
code is gonna break your budget.

And the rest, well...

Ok, so with the demo,
the resto and the reno,

I figure you're looking
at about...

This is your budget?

[laughs]
Have a nice day.

So maybe we do two ovens
instead of three

and then we can just stick
with the one mixer.

No, it's not gonna make much
of a difference.

I mean, look at these numbers.

The cheapest bid is $20,000
over our budget.

You know, I'm 75 percent
into this if you remember.

Thank you for reminding me.

Again.

You know, I'm just saying
that this is turning out to be

a lot more expensive
than we had figured.

Ok, well what if we went
to a bank

and got a small business loan?

No. This bakery is going to take
at least a year to break even

and I haven't got that kind of
money to tread water that long.

Do you?

No.

But look, I think we can cut
a few corners

then we have a chance as long as
there are no surprises.

[knocking]

Good afternoon.

I'm Ken Wong with the Historical
Preservation Committee.

We understand you plan on doing
some work on the building,

and I just thought I'd drop by
with our official list

of rules and regulations
for renovations.

Naturally, any changes
to the existing structure

is prohibited,

but we do have
an appeals process

which you are welcome
to present

at our monthly committee
meeting.

Well, it looks like I was right
in the first place.

About what?

About this whole thing
being a bad idea.

I mean, I think we need
to face the facts.

Which are?

Which are that the best thing
for this property is just

to put it back on the market and
hope that we can find a buyer.

So just forget
about the re-opening?

Forget about everything?

I- I don't know how to make
this work.

I'm sorry, Natalie, I am.

It would have been fun.

But I guess Delitto's stays
in the history books after all.

You're kind of upset about
this bakery thing, aren't you?

Why would you say I'm upset?

Oh, I don't know,
just a feeling I guess.

Baking takes my mind off things.

Like watching my life's dreams
go up in smoke.

You know what's the great thing
about baking?

If you want something to eat
you can just do it yourself.

Yeah.

[chuckles]

Thank you.

Good job. Good job.

We're almost out
of your cookies, dad.

They sold better than anybody's.

Wow.

Maybe I got a future in the
school bake sale business, huh?

I'm just glad you're here.

I'm glad I'm here, too.

[clapping]

Hi.

Hi.

I didn't know you were coming.

I thought I would come by
and check on the cookie sales.

Well, I would say we were a hit.

We could have sold twice
as many.

Really?

Well, next time your dad's
just gonna have to make more.

[laughs]

Come on.

Where are we going?

I am gonna win you a pumpkin.

Oh, boy.

Come on.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I didn't expect to come.

Well, I'm glad you did.

Ok, so are you familiar with
the famous Scarecrow Toss?

A little bit.

Ok, the secret--

[groans]

Wow.

Is all in the follow through,
of course.

You see, most people make
the mistake of going underhand.

Ok.

When, in fact, the secret
to success is to go overhand

and just lob it in there.

Just like that.

Yeah. Just like that. Alright?

Yep.

Prepare to be dazzled.

Oh.

[clears throat]

Hiyah.

Way over there.

Oooh.

Ok, so maybe I got
that backwards

and it actually is

(together) underhand.

Ok.

Round two.

Good.

So I have a confession to make.

You don't like pumpkins.

I didn't just come
for the cookie sales.

I have an idea.

Ok, I'm listening.

What if we did all of
the renovations ourselves?

I know a great supplier,

I can get great deals
on kitchen appliances.

What do you think?

Well for starters do you know
anything about renovations?

[gasps]

Pumpkin.

Did you know anything
about baking cookies?

Since we know the preservation
people

are going to be sticky
about things,

I went to the historic
society's website

and downloaded these photos.

These are from when
Bea's parents ran the bakery.

Look at this detail.

Look at the wallpaper
and the tile.

What if we take it
right back to the way it was

when they first opened
the place?

An authentic Italian bakery.

What do you think?

He said no?

He said it would never work

and we didn't know what we were
getting ourselves into

and we'd just end up losing
all of our money.

Fine.

Then if he's not behind you
100 percent,

you need to move on.

What?

You heard me.

If this guy's not gonna back you
up then it's time to move on.

I thought you said he was
Mr. Right.

Well, I guess I was wrong.

Besides, what do
you need him

and his old bakery for, anyway?

You've already go the
best cupcake truck in town.

[starts engine]

[engine blows]

Ugh.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Here we go.

Oh, don't forget Mr. Rabbit.

There he is.

Did you have fun today, dad?

Oh, I always have fun with you,
kiddo.

Me too.

I'm glad you took the day off
work so we could be together.

Aww.

Me too.

Are you and Natalie really
going to open the bakery again?

I don't know, honey.

I'm just not sure right now.

I hope you do.

Yeah?

Uh-huh.

'Cause then maybe you could
take the day off form work

more often.

Goodnight, honey.

Goodnight, daddy.

Mmm.

Well, just looking at
tuation overall

I'd say you need
a new transmission

and new electrical,
and a new fuel pump.

Basically you need a new truck.

Well, that's not going to happen
right now

because I can barely afford
to keep this one on the road.

Is there anything else
you can do?

Well, we'll take her
into the shop,

give her a full once-over
and see what we can do,

but I'm not making promises.

Thank you.

I'm gonna go with them,
keep an eye on things.

Sam, if we don't have a truck
we don't have customers.

If we don't have customers
we don't have a business.

Hey, you still have
your kitchen.

Do you really think people

are gonna come to my apartment
and buy cupcakes?

Look, don't worry.

Something will work out,
it always does, right?

Hey, can I hop in with you guys?

What're you doing here?

I called Courtney.

Oh.

She must have been thrilled.

Not really.

But I told her my mind was
made up, so...

About what?

I'm taking the property
off the market.

Come on.

We got some work to do.

[laughs]

Now, I just need you to sign
and date

the rest of these permit
applications

and then you're all through.

Ok.

Oh, now here, on this one,

you need to fill in the name
of the owner of the building.

Which one of you is that?

Uh, we both own the property.

Together?

Mmmhmm.

50/50.

Right down the middle.

I'll be right back.

Why did you do that?

We agreed.

I know, 75/25,
but here's the thing.

I just have the building.

You're bringing your skill,
your talent,

your amazing cupcakes.

You didn't have to do that.

Yes I did.

It's only fair.

So, do we have a deal,
partner?

Sign.

Alright, everything seems
to be in order.

So do we get the permit?

There's just one more thing.

And so, in conclusion,
our plan for the renovation

is to modernize the existing
structure with updated features

and to do any repairs necessary

to make sure that the building
is code compliant.

Thank you for your time.

Any questions?

Well, I think we all agree

that your plan certainly
seems feasible,

but I have just one question
for you both.

Delitto's has been out of
business for quite a few years.

What is it about this place that
makes you want to re-open it?

Uh... well...

Honestly, Mr. Wong, it's
just a feeling, I guess.

The feeling that,
um, we belong there.

The feeling of knowing

that we didn't just inherit
a piece of property

but a part of the living history
of this city

and maybe it's also the feeling

that I got when I listened to
stories told by Eric's Aunt Bea,

who was a wonderful friend
to me.

She would talk about the smell
of fresh baked bread

and her father singing
while he worked

and the smiles on the faces of
her customers when they tasted

their first piece of Delitto's
chocolate cake.

Which, by the way,
will be on the menu.

[laughing]

This bakery has been in Eric's
family for generations

and I would like to think
that she gave it to us

because she trusted
that we would restore it

to its rightful place
in this city's history.

And now I'm asking all of you
to do the same.

[applause]

Congratulations, both of you.

We'll send a recommendation
on to city council

and you should receive your
approval by the end of the week.

However, I will need
one more thing.

A piece of that chocolate cake.

I loved it when I was a boy.

[laughs]

Deal.

Thank you.

We did it!

We did it!

No, you did it.

That was an amazing speech.

It was the truth.

So, now what do we do?

Now we get to work.

Oh, come on. You gotta

Paper plates?

Come on.

It'll make clean up
so much easier.

But if we want an
old-fashioned bakery

shouldn't we use real plates?

Hey, come take a look at this.

What is it?

Well, it's uh, it's a bunch
of recipes.

They're handwritten.

It's like a recipe scrapbook.

Wait a sec, let me see that.

Oh, wow.

You know what this is?

This is my Aunt Bea's cookbook.

Look, there it is.
There's her name.

Beatrix Delitto.

Oh, wow.

I remember this book.

You know, when I was
a little kid

my parents would bring
me here

and I would stand right there
in this very kitchen

and I would watch as my Aunt Bea
brought this book down

from the shelf and she would-

she'd look at it and then she'd
put some ingredients in a bowl

and she'd come back
and look at it some more.

Oh, I remember all of this.

You want to hear
something silly?

Always.

I used to think this book
was magic.

I don't think
that's silly at all.

Uh, well, anyway.

Hey, you know what would be
a great idea?

What's that?

We could use that cookbook
for our bakery.

You mean just follow
the recipes?

Yeah.

We could advertise a history
in the baking.

Oh, come on.

You gotta admit,
that is good.

[laughs]

Yes, it's very good.

But for one thing they're-
they're really out of date.

And a little old fashioned

for what the modern customers
like to buy,

no offence to your Aunt Bea.

You think so, huh?

Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'm getting a little hungry.

Lily is spending the night at
a friend's having a sleep over

so why don't we go home,

freshen up and go for dinner
and discuss this a little more?

Strictly business.

My parents used to bring me here
all the time as a kid.

I practically grew up
on this tomato sauce.

Thank you.

So, what do you think?

About what?

About this.

I was thinking we could do
something like this

inside the bakery.

Real authentic Italian.

I mean, look at the paneling,
and the lighting.

I'm looking.

You know what?

Maybe we can get a statue,
or a fountain.

Yeah, thank you.

What do you think?

No.

No?

I mean, it's great for here.

But a bakery, it needs to be
light and airy.

I'm thinking white tile and-
and bright colours.

I mean, if this is your idea of
what Delitto's should look like

then I'm gonna tell you
we have a problem here.

Hmm.

Mmm.

This might be the best bread
I've ever had.

Really?

Mmm.

What a coincidence.

Why?

Well, you see, that's
my Aunt Bea's bread.

Mmm.

She taught their pastry chef
how to make it

and they've been doing it
the same way

from her original recipe
for the last 33 years.

So you still think Aunt Bea's
cookbook is out of date?

But at least just let us
modernize things a bit, right?

Instead of vegetable oil
we can use coconut oil-

Natalie.

Hey.

David. Um...

Lovely to see you.

Phoebe, this is Natalie.

And...

Eric.

Eric.

Eric, this is my... friend,
Phoebe.

Hi.

Uh, this- so what're you doing
in the city?

Book tour.

Yeah, the paperback comes out
next week, so...

How about you?

You still doing the cookie
cart thing?

Cupcake truck.

Yeah, that thing.

Excuse me, Mr. Howe,
could I-

Oh, of course I will.

Yeah, come on in.

Nice to see you, Natalie.

Yep.

Thank you.

Who is that jerk?

That jerk is my ex-boyfriend.

We met in culinary school,
he was top of the class.

He just knew he was gonna be a
star and we dated for a while.

Yeah? And then what happened?

He dumped me.

Just like that, no explanation?

Just like that.

That's kinda horrible.

I'm a big girl.

I got over it.

Thank you so much for dinner
and for tricking me

into trying that bread.

No, I- I'm the one who
should be thanking you.

For what?

How about pushing me
out of my comfort zone, for one.

I mean, opening up a bakery

wasn't exactly
in my career plan.

But I gotta admit I'm uh, I'm
actually really enjoying it.

And especially with you.

Well, I'm just glad
you changed your mind.

Well, I had a little help
in that direction.

Lily really likes you,
so, you know.

And believe me, she does not
usually like any of my girl-

I mean, uh, I mean- I mean,
she doesn't uh...

I gotta stop talking.

[laughs]

You're a wonderful man.

You really are.

And I would be lying if I said
I wasn't attracted to you,

but I- I just can't do this
right now.

No, of course.

I mean, I didn't mean-
I wasn't- I wasn't-

It's not- it's not you.

It's just-

Natalie, no explanation
necessary.

I will see you tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Alright, almost got it.

Be careful.

I still think we should call
an actual electrician.

Uh-uh. No way.

Not when we can
do this ourselves.

But what if something
goes wrong?

Nothing is gonna go wrong.

Now go ahead,
turn on the light.

Ugh.

If anything bad happens I just
want you to know it's been fun.

Natalie, trust me.

[pop]

[gasps]

It looks like you've blown
most of the old wiring.

You're lucky it wasn't worse.

Can you fix it?

It's not something you fix,
it's something you replace.

And it's not gonna be cheap,
either.

Oh, great.

When can you start?

Sign there and I'll go get
my tools right now.

How long will it take?

Hard to tell until I get
in there.

A couple days,
maybe a week.

Hope you guys
aren't in a rush.

Thank you.

That's the last thing
that we needed right now.

Look, it's just a slight delay,

we'll be back on schedule
in no time.

No, it's not gonna be
good enough, Natalie.

Look, the thing is...
we're running out of money.

I've put almost everything
I've got into this place.

Unless we get up
and running soon

I'm gonna be in
real trouble here.

It's ok. I- I understand.

I can keep things going here
if you have to go back to work.

Yeah, about that, um...

No, I can't leave you here
on your own.

We're just gonna have
to figure out

how to move everything
along faster,

that's all there is to it.

We need some help.

Don't drop that stuff.

I got it. I got it.

Here, let me get that.

No, no, don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

No, you're upsetting my balance.

I'm balanced.

Well.

He's balanced.

Uh huh.

You two have worked
really hard together.

You know, I never thought
I'd see Natalie do this.

What?

Open a bakery?

No, trust a guy.

Especially after what happened
with David.

Oh yeah, I met that guy.

Mmmhmm.

What a piece of work he is.

She said uh, they broke up.

It was more than that.

They were engaged.

Oh.

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

It was pretty serious.

Ever since she's focused
all her energy

on her cupcake truck business.

And now this bakery...

Thanks to you.

Nick, I can't thank you enough
for taking off work

to help us today.

No problem.

I haven't had anything
but days off.

What do you mean?

Didn't Eric tell you?

The company we worked for
did a major downsizing.

Put us both out of a job.

No, no. He didn't-
he didn't tell me that.

Yeah.

He was pretty down about it,
but then you came along.

Actually, I don't think
I've ever seen him happier.

You know, if it wasn't for you
and this bakery

I don't know what he'd be doing.

Guess what I have.

The flyers, great.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Oh.

Delitto's.

Alright.

Saturday.

You think we're gonna be ready
by then?

We're almost there.

Besides, we have our
best people working on it.

Yeah, and those people have
been working awfully hard.

So how about we knock it off
for the day

and get back to it
tomorrow morning?

I vote for that.
I am starving.

Oh, I know an excellent
Thai place around the corner.

I love Thai.

I love Thai.

Great, let's do it.

Um, actually you guys go,
we'll lock up.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Ok.

Alright.

Goodnight.

Thank you.

So, if you could have
a superpower,

flying or invisibility,
which would it be?

Oh, flying.

Definitely flying.

Invisible? That's just creepy.

[laughs]

Well, I guess I will see you
in the-

Do you wanna come over?

To- to your place?

Yeah.

I mean, we should probably
talk about, you know,

the- the opening.

Right. Strictly business.

Strictly business.

Why are you so dressed up, dad?

Huh?

No reason, just a uh,
business meeting.

With Natalie?

Uh, yeah.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, why don't you let
the babysitter in?

Ok.

Strictly business.

[knocking]

Hi.

Hi.

Um... uh, these are for you.

Thank you.

Come on in.

Alright. Thank you.

So I brought you a bottle of red
because I didn't know

what you were
planning on um...

oh no.

[laughs]

You thought I meant dinner.

I feel like such an idiot. I...

No, no, no. I am so sorry.
I should have said something-

No, I misunderstood. I- I-
I am so dumb.

No, please don't.
I am so sorry.

Here, take one of these.

Ok.

Yes.

I am so sorry.

No, this looks amazing.

Ok.

Oh, that is so good.

Yeah?

So good.

You know what's funny, this um-

this somehow reminds me
of my childhood.

Really?

Because I got it out of this.

Aunt Bea's cookbook!

Yes. I did what you suggested.

I used her recipes and
added my own modern twist.

What do you think?

I think this bakery is gonna be
a huge success is what I think.

And... ok.

I did a website for us.

Really?

I did.

You just click on the muffin and
it tells you the daily special.

That is so cute.
Good job.

That reminds me,

I'll talk to a friend of mine
who works at the courier.

He's gonna do a story
all about us.

Really?

Yes.

See? It's all just starting
to fall into place.

There's only one problem.

What?

Well, the um, the grand opening
is, what,

less than a week away?

Yeah.

I can't be the only person-

Oh no, no, no.

Doing all the baking.

You're seriously going
to teach me how to bake?

Oh, yes, I am.

[laughs]

First, we're gonna start
with the basics

and then the rest will just
fall into place.

Woah.

I got ya.

Lesson number one:
no distractions.

[laughs]

You know, I think Aunt Bea
would be proud

of what we're doing here.

I hope so.

She was such a wonderful lady.

She really was.

I just wish I had gotten
to know her better.

Funny, she said the same thing
about you.

Really?

Yeah.

Listen, Natalie,
there's something

I need to tell you about my job.

Mmm. The downsizing?

Yeah, Nick told me.

Here, let me help you.

Come on.

Ok.

There you go.

And then fold,
yeah, and then again.

Ok.

I was gonna tell you, honestly.

I just... I don't know.

I didn't wanna make you worry

any more than
you already had to.

I'm not worried.

No?

No.

Hey, you got a little...
flour here.

[ding]

Bear claws.

What?

My bear claws are done.

I didn't mean to- I mean,
I did mean to-

No.

But I...

No, I understand.

Look, I um, I should probably
get going.

Eric, I'm so sorry.

No, Natalie, don't be.

It's ok.

[car beep]

[phone rings]

Hello, Courtney.

Are you ready for
some great news?

More than you know.

I found a buyer
for your property.

They love that it's historic.

They're ready to make an offer.

These people showed up
out of nowhere!

You can finally sell that
ridiculous bakery

and get on with your life.

(All): Yes!

[pop]

Woo!

[laughing]

I can't believe we did it.

But we did, and tomorrow morning
Delitto's is open for business.

Come on, Nat.
Let's have a toast.

Just a second.

Just a second.

Ok.

I wanted to show you these.

[laughs]

And what happened
to the paper plates?

Maybe you were right.

About a few things.

Come on, Nick.

I wanna show you something
in the kitchen.

I was just in the kitchen.

Come on, Nick.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

You don't need to apologize.

No, my behaviour
the other night was-

Was completely understandable.

Listen, if somebody had done
to me what that guy did to you

I would never go on another date
the rest of my life.

[laughs]

Listen.

What do you say we um,
we take this whole thing

one cupcake at a time, huh?

Ok?

Ok.

But first there's something
I need to do.

Thanks for the memories.

You really inherited this place
from a customer?

Mmmhmm.

This is gonna make
a great story.

Well, we really appreciate
you doing it.

Come in.

Sure.

Take a look around.

We worked very closely with
the Historic Preservation
Society-

Natalie.

Hello.

Hi.

Uh...

Courtney, um,
what're you doing here?

Oh, didn't Eric tell you?

Uh, tell me what?

We've had an offer
on the bakery.

I brought the letter of intent
over for him to see.

Uh, I thought we agreed to take
it off the market.

Business is business,
everything is for sale

if the price is right.

Did you wanna try and reschedule
this for another time?

I'm sorry.

Sorry I'm late, I...

What's uh, what's going on?

Oh.

Natalie, wait!

You know, you could have
told me.

Told you what?

That you still wanted to sell
the bakery.

What're you talking about?

I would have understood.

I know you needed the money.

I would never do something
like that to you.

Ever.

But- but Courtney just said-

No, no, no.

I told Courtney to take
the property off the market

but she put it back
on without asking

'cause she wanted
the commission.

What?

Why would she do that?

'Cause that's how
Courtney operates.

How was I supposed
to know that?

Maybe you could have
trusted me.

I knew I shouldn't have gone
into business with a...

a man who doesn't know how
to bake!

What- you know what?

I never wanted to own a bakery
in the first place, remember?

Oh, so you wanna just end
the partnership?

Do you?

I mean, we've come this far.

No sense in shutting
the place down again.

No, I guess not.

The best thing is for me to go
and leave the rest to you.

Oh, just a little higher
on that side.

Yeah.

Hi.

Hey.

I think that's everything.

Um...

thank you doesn't
even seem like enough
to say to you two.

I could not have done this
without you.

Happy to help, Nat.

Hey, why don't you
let us finish up here.

We could do the last
of the cookies

and you can go home
and get some sleep.

Thank you.

I think I will do that.

So you haven't heard from him?

No.

Well, you've still got me.

And you are great.

Oh, thank you.

Goodnight.

Get some rest.

Goodnight, dad.

Oh, goodnight, honey.
I'll be right up.

Dad, why aren't we going
to the bakery tomorrow?

It's the grand opening.

Isn't Natalie going to be
expecting us?

I know, I'm sorry, honey.

But I've got some important
meetings tomorrow.

Are you and Natalie mad at
each other about something?

Why would you say that?

'Cause you haven't smiled
all day.

How about that?

Better.

Oh, great.

[reading] "Dear Aunt Bea,

"thank you for making
my birthday cake.

"It was very good.

"I hope when I grow up I will
marry someone like you

"who is pretty and nice
and knows how to bake.

"Here's my own recipe
that I invented myself

"called Eric's Cupcake.

"I hope you make it and like it

"Love, your nephew, Eric."

[small laugh]

[phone ringing]

Hey Sam, what's going on?

What?

It's my fault.

I must have set the oven
too high.

The smoke set off
the sprinklers.

We didn't know
how to turn it off.

We shut off the main valve but
by then it was already too late.

Natalie, I- I can't even find
the words.

I'm so, so sorry.

Listen, I'll pay for everything.

No, no, no.

You are not doing that.

It is not like you did this
on purpose.

So what're we gonna do?

Um... we're gonna start
by cleaning up.

Yeah, but what about
tomorrow morning?

We've already put out
all of those flyers.

And the newspaper story.

There's gonna be a crowd
of people here tomorrow.

Well, we're just gonna have
to explain what happened

and hope they come back
another day.

[door opens, closes]

Shouldn't you talk
to your partner first?

I got a call from
the alarm company

when the sprinklers went off.

I thought I would come down,
see what's going on.

So, what're we gonna do?

I think it's time for your next
baking lesson.

Welcome to Delitto's.

Come on in!

Thank you.

Nice turn out.

Couldn't have done
it without you.

Well, I gotta protect
my investment, right?

This is for you.

What's this?

An apology cupcake.

For yesterday.

I jumped to a conclusion
that I shouldn't have

and I'm sorry.

Well, you're not the only one
who should be apologizing.

I might have overreacted
a little bit, too, myself.

I'm sorry.

But you didn't need to do this.

Yes, I did.

And there's something else.

I went home last night
and you know what happened?

Uh, no, I do not.

I didn't bake.

Ok.

[laughs]

Sure.

You see, I have this thing.

I- I always bake when I'm upset
or when I'm in a bad mood

or when something
goes wrong or...

when I get my heart broken.

After you left yesterday

I should have baked
a hundred cakes.

But I didn't.

I was standing in the kitchen

and all of a sudden
everything felt different.

I trusted someone again.

Someone like me?

Someone exactly like you.

Open it.

Aww...

Natalie.

Is this my cupcake?

Go ahead.

Try it.

This is my recipe.

I found it in Bea's book.

I thought you said you didn't
know how to bake.

I guess I forgot.

Until you came around.

I gotta get back inside,

we're running out of
bear claws.

Oh no.

Yeah.

Well, I actually missed a job
interview this morning

to be here so you wouldn't
happen to know anybody

who's hiring, do you?

I might.

Yeah?

I'm just gonna have to discuss
it with my partner.

Ok.

You know, this is a very good
recipe for an eight year old,

I hope you'll keep this
a secret.

Trust me.

[laughs]
