[WATER RIPPLING]

[REFRIGERATOR CONTENTS CLATTER]

Good morning, babe.

[GIGGLING] Wow.

Yeah, gotta ramp things up.
Iron Man is in three months.

You look like
an eight-year-old boy,

going from hobby to hobby.

I wish you'd focus
your attention

on something else.

Like your career.

Joel, gross!

Where is the coffee?

Where is my coffee maker?

-Ew!
-That's not good for you.

And you're way too jittery
when you're on it.

What-- That's when
I don't have my coffee!

Besides,
it clashes with the kitchen.

It's an aesthetics thing.

Breakfast! I'm starving!

Did you study your spelling?

Albuquerque.

-A-L...
-Hm.

B-U... cookie?

[CHUCKLES] Come on, Mom!
You're not getting any younger!

That's what abuelita says.
[GIGGLING]

Yeah, well, abuelita is crazy.

-There you go!
-[GIGGLING CONTINUES]

Okay, now try it.

Mm, see?

My daughter might not know
how to spell,

but she sure has good taste.

Remember how you used to
not like sweet potatoes?

And kale? And beets?

-Come on, Mommy!
-Oh!

You like it, right?
You do like it.

-I love it.
-[BOTH GIGGLE]

See?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[GIGGLES]

What are you getting from all
this juicing and training?

I don't know. Purpose?

-Food is fuel.
-So is caffeine.

[BICYCLE CHAIN CRANKING]

[HORN HONKS]

[TIRES SCREECH]
[CRASH, GLASS SHATTERS]

NARRATOR: We've got big things
cooking here at Tortilla Hut.

And whoever said
size doesn't matter,

obviously never tried our beef,
beany burrito.

Tortilla Hut,

where everything is
bigger and better.

[CHIRPING IN COMMERCIAL]

Babe, did you see that?
[GASPS]

-That was--
-Oh, sorry, boss.

It's just-- That little guy
cracks me up.

I hate to say it,
but my kids eat there too.

I mean, where else can you get
five tacos for 99 cents?

Nowhere.
And that should be the point.

You want quality,
you need to pay for it.

[BELL RINGS]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[TV STILL PLAYS]

Mm... Better.
[CHUCKLES]

Where are we with
the crema de chile poblano?

Uh...

We can't make crema de chile
poblano with no chiles.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Are you sure you don't need

an extra hand
in your chile field?

Don't worry,
your secret's safe with me.

Mm-mm.

If anyone asks, I went to town
for supplies, okay?

-Turn it off, Gonzalo.
-Okay.

JAVIERA: Turn it off, I can
hear it!

Well, personally, I think
we should make

TH more hip.
Appeal to the Millennials.

Yeah, no, I call it TH.
You like that?

Having phone sex
with my dad again?

You know, Mr. Flanagan,
your son actually just

-walked in.
-[WHISPERS] No, I--

-Yeah, no, here he is.
-I-- Hey, dad.

Yeah!

A-huh, a-huh.

You know...

Yes, speaking of what
I should be doing with my life,

I really should get back
to work,

because there's
a new product meeting...

-they just pushed to 10:00 a.m.
-Yeah.

Aaron just told me.

Yeah, I can't wait to go.

Yeah, no, it's gonna be
the best part of my day.

Okay, love you, bye.

Thanks, Aaron.

Hey, buddy.

He'll be late
for the product meeting.

Oh...

Yeah.

You know I only took this
assistant gig because I thought

he'd hardly be here,
I'd have a shot at a promotion.

I heard the family is
putting pressure on him,

but I'm sure he's
gonna continue to do

that bare minimum
that he does, so...

Yeah, but what if he starts
to actually...

you know, work?

-Give me your jacket, come on.
-Seriously?

-Do it, come on.
-You're kidding me!

I'll bring it back.

What was that?

I wouldn't worry about that.

STACEY: Good morning, everyone.
Oh! Look at who showed up.

Don't get too excited, sis.

I just didn't want to talk
to our father.

So, I'm sure everyone
has seen the headlines.

We have?

Oh, Dad's not gonna like that!

No. We have to face the facts.
Tastes are evolving.

Our customers want
artisanal food

and authentic experience.

Sophistication has come
to Small Town, America.

And we need to evolve
right alongside.

So, that only means
one thing for Tortilla Hut:

menu diversity.

We have been coasting
for far too long.

We need to get out there
in the field,

and see what's cooking.

So, Brian,

um, I need you to take
the East Coast.

-Yep.
-And Megan,

there's some great stuff
happening in Chicago

and in the Northwest.

And Joel,
I spoke to father about this,

and he wants you to handle
the Southwest.

No problemo.

Which means
you will be travelling

to the Southwest

and handling all research
and development.

I want you slumming it,

in every hole in the wall,
every hidden gem,

sampling as much
of the regional food

as it takes until we find
our next big product.

What? No way!
That's like...

work.
That's like, real work.

Send her!

STACEY: Gina is
on maternity leave

starting next week, so...

I'm training for a triathlon,
that's like having a baby,

except it's
actually good for you.

Stacey, why don't you let me
take over the territory?

I mean,
it's a very viable region,

and [SPEAKING SPANISH]

Yeah, let him do it.
Let this guy...

-Brian.
-Whatever.

Joel,
I want you to handle this.

And I think that
Grandpop would have wanted

you to get back to your roots.

Roots? What roots?
I'm from Laguna Niguel.

I-- I'm eating clean right now.
I can't eat junk.

Well, that's good,

because I want you to focus
on New Mexican cuisine.

I can't each cheese!
I can't eat fats,

I can't even eat good fats.

I don't remember the last time
I had an avocado.

And let's face it,
[IN UNISON] I hate Mexican food.

And that's not my fault,
because I have a Jewish stomach.

Which is odd,
because we're Irish.

-Never said it made sense.
-All right, any questions?

[JAVIERA SIGHS]

-Why aren't you in school?
-We had a half day, remember?

Right.

You know, I could help
if you would let me.

You can't help roast the chiles,
chiquita. Hmm?

What's the big deal?
They're just chiles!

-Just chiles?
-Yeah.

Maybe it's time you learn
about your legacy.

Hm?

[CHUCKLING] Okay.
Your legacy.

A legacy is something special
that's in your family.

It's a part of you,
and not everyone has it.

-So it's only special to us?
-Oh, yeah.

This is our family secret. Okay?

-You can't tell anyone.
-I pinky swear.

-Pinky swear? I'm trusting you.
-Okay.

All right.

So, it goes like this.

A long, long time ago,

your great, great,
great grandfather made a pact

with a very wise man.

His name was Fabian Garcia.

And he would become known

as the inventor
of the New Mexico, green chile.

-Cool.
-Hm.

JAVIERA: But at the time,
Mr. Garcia was just

a penniless farmer.

He had no money to give.

SOPHIA: That's not right.

JAVIERA: But he had something
better, chiquita.

-He had seeds.
-[SOPHIA CHUCKLES]

JAVIERA: These
chile seeds have been passed on

through the generations
and one day,

they will pass on to you.

[LAUGHING]

Is this why your cooking
is so good?

Hey!
[CHUCKLING]

You totally ambushed me
back there!

All right, all right.
Just sit down.

It's time to get serious, Joel.

Look at me.
I am serious,

about not going to Arizona
or New Mexico?

Wherever you told me to go.
What do I look like?

I'm not a Southwestern guy.

And I'm busy! I've got work.
My law practice?

Occasional client who is
one of daddy's golfing buddies

-does not a lawyer make.
-It's only one of them.

What do you wanna do
with your life?

The lease on all your toys
and lifestyle is going

to run out if you don't make
a smart choice.

And you know of the terms
of the estate.

Why don't you just commit
to a year of Tortilla Hut?

What is stopping you?

You said that Grandpop was
your hero.

Well he went to war, came back,

and started
a $500 million enterprise.

Doesn't that mean
anything to you?

Let's be honest, sis.

It's just junk food.

It's the family business.

And in my book, that's not junk.

[EXHALES AUDIBLY]

-[BICYCLE CHAIN CRANKING]
-[DISTANT DOG BARKING]

[RHYTHMIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, good! You already packed.

So, you got my text after all,
I mean--

JOEL: What's going on?

I'm enjoying my coffee.

You know,
that's really not good for you.

Oh, I know, Joel.

And I'm done.

Done? What do you mean done?

You're coming with me
to New Mexico!

You're gonna have to do
this one on your own.

You know, not everything
revolves around you, Joel.

You know,
for the last two years,

we've done everything.
Everything that you've wanted.

We've gone on dates
with your friends,

and you've told me what to wear,
and what to drink--

-Because you asked!
-And now you're obsessed

with trying to be Iron Man.
-No, I'm trying to do Iron Man!

[EXHALES IN EXASPERATION]

Have you ever, ever, thought
about what I wanted?

What do you want, Lauren?

I want...

someone who can make me laugh.

[SCOFFS] I never said I was
a friggin' comedian.

You know what I mean.

[LAUREN SIGHS AUDIBLY]

I'm funny.

[BANJO MUSIC PLAYING]

Ay, I'm not getting any younger!
Oops!

[GIGGLES]

[SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS]

[RESTAURANT CHATTER]

I'll be right with you, okay?
Is it good? Yes?

There we go!

Ay, Cordelia!

Always a sight for sore eyes.

Hey,
doesn't the new sign look great?

-Preciosa.
-[KEVIN LAUGHS]

Hey, did Javiera tell you
the new tour just sold out?

-Really? Well, that's very good.
-Yeah!

Your daughter is becoming
quite the little rockstar.

-[CORDELIA CHUCKLES]
-Just like her old lady.

-Where is my little pinto bean?
-Oh, Lord.

Let him get run over by a truck.

Okay, maybe not.
Maybe a tractor.

He could survive the truck,
right? [LAUGHTER]

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

JOEL: Babe, it's me.
It went straight to voicemail.

In that way where
you have the choice

whether or not to take
the call or not.

Anyway, I was thinking
about what you were saying

about how you think
everything revolves around me.

But remember when
we went down to San Diego

for that
frisbee-golf competition

and you left early

because your mom got sick
and went to the hospital

and I won that night?
And I never made it a big deal.

I was really disappointed,
but I didn't bring it up.

And we both know people can live
without their appendix!

Actually, that's probably
not a good example.

-Listen, I want to-- Can we--
-The mailbox is full

and cannot accept any messages
at this time.

-Jesus Christ.
-Good bye!

[ENGINE REVVING]

[GROANS]
[CHUCKLES]

Javi, nobody makes chile sauce
like you have.

No one!

You know what?
This is just the beginning.

I mean,
with the success of the cafe,

we can look towards
a real restaurant in Santa Fe.

I've been there, done that.

Yeah, but that was Albuquerque.
You know?

I'm talking about something
big here, right?

We're building a brand!

I see a cooking show

and a whole line of products

starting with your
signature dish.

I'm still getting used
to the new sign.

Don't you think it's a bit much?

Come on, you gotta shake
things up a little bit, baby!

No,
I like things the way they are.

Static?

Timeless.

[RANCH MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL DINGS]

[BELL DINGS]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[WRENCH CRANKING]

Passing through, I'm wondering
if there's a good place

to grab a bite to eat.

Sure, there's a Tortilla Hut
just down the road.

[WHISPERS] You gotta
be kiddin' me.

But if you're looking
for a real gem,

go down the road
about five miles

and make a right
at the first four-way stop.

-You can't miss it.
-Thank you so much.

[EXHALES AUDIBLY]

Oh, Joel.

That's like discovering
the hamburger.

Green chile is practically
the state dish.

JOEL: What are you talking
about, Stacey?

It's friggin' fantastic!

It's got green chile,
pinto beans, and chicken!

It's not even bad for you.

Beans give you fiber,
chicken is protein,

and green chile is a vegetable.
Done!

STACEY: And how
would we package it?

-You're not thinking.
-Do you really think

our consumer base is concerned

with your
authenticity obsession?

Hank, don't fill up
on junk food!

The only people who order tacos
from a drive-through window are

-stoners and big, fat--
-[SLURPING]

I mean,
somewhat, slightly obese people,

who I'm sure are
lovely people on the inside?

This is a lot harder
than it looks, okay?

It's not exactly written
on a sign

where to find the best food
in New Mexico.

Let me call you right back.

-[GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]
-[IGNITION CRANKING]

KEVIN: See, we've got
a whole variety

of different types of peppers.

They come in all
different shapes, sizes, color.

But this one, right here,
the New Mexico green chile,

that's what we're roasting
right here.

Doesn't that smell amazing?

You're gonna see everything
that you could possibly imagine

from the chile family
in New Mexico.

But it's really the green chile
that is the star.

This is what has become
the local favorite.

KEVIN: Save your appetite
for Javiera's,

cooking up her signature dish!

[BANJO MUSIC PLAYING]

[SCREECHING]
[POPPING]

All right, here we go.

KEVIN: We've got a real treat
here, huh?

[CUTLERY CLATTERING]

KEVIN: I told you it was
worth the wait, right?

[CHUCKLING] Enjoy!

Hey, why don't you guys try
taking small bites?

Really savor this food, huh?

I'm tasting pork
and something else.

Apples. Mm. Oh, my God, apples!

Perfect harmony of the sweet
and the savory.

Just like life.

[CHUCKLING]

And who knew garlic soup
actually tastes awesome?

[LAUGHS DELIGHTEDLY]

Did you get the avocado?
Perfect match.

[CORDELIA SPEAKING SPANISH]

I've never seen
such fancy watches and purses.

Let's hope they spend
some money in town.

-I'm coming over.
-Okay.

-Hello, young man!
-Hi!

Hi.
Why aren't you with the group?

-Uh...
-You look triste. Sad.

-I do?
-Yes.

Muy triste.

Oh, why?

Why are you so triste?
I can feel your energy.

My girlfriend just broke up
with me.

We were pretty serious.
Why am I--

-WOMAN: Oh, that's terrible!
-Terrible.

Such a good looking,
young man, huh?

-Sí.
-Yes.

And look, great physique.

Yes and nice clothes.

You know what,
nice clothes means nice job.

Yes.

Pero triste. Why?

Why did she leave you?

Well, she...

claimed I didn't make her laugh.

-Huh?
-No?

It's crazy, right?
I mean, to leave someone,

for this ridiculous reason
that's untrue?

Come. Let's have some lunch.

Forget your troubles
with some good food.

-That's great.
-Come on!

Okay.

[CORDELIA SPEAKING SPANISH]
See you later.

I'm sorry,
are you with the tour?

-Uh...
-Gonzalo, Gonzalo.

Have pity on him.
His fiancé... [SPEAKING SPANISH]

-[CORDELIA GROANS]
-Aw, sorry, bro.

What do you want me to do?

The orders are even,
and you know Javiera.

MAN: What's the matter?

I just lost my appetite.

What's wrong?
Is there anything wrong?

Hey, pal!
This is a private party.

MAN: If he stays, we go.

What am I hearing?

CORDELIA: What's going on here?

They don't seem
to like you very much.

I don't um... I've--

Mamá. What's going on?

No one is eating.

I never make the wrong amount.

Yeah, well,
mistakes happen every day.

-For some, but not for me.
-Listen, lady.

I'm just a guy who needs a meal.

Maybe we could work
something out?

Oh.
[LAUGHS]

You are a really funny guy,
you know that?

Everyone satisfied?

This bozo followed us in here,

and now he's trying to eat all
of this amazing food for free.

Sorry, sport. Who are you?

Don't worry about it,
Mr. Mustache.

What do you mean?

He's not with the tour?

-KEVIN: And stay out!
-[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

Sorry about your lady friend,
bro. Eat your feelings.

JOEL: So, I just tried
something pretty terrific.

Acting like a human being?

[JOEL LAUGHING]

-No! An empanada.
-I thought

-you couldn't get on that tour.
-I have my ways.

Listen, here's the thing.

There's this woman,
Javiera Torres.

And I think she may be
the real deal.

Sounds like people come
from all around

to try this signature dish

-of hers.
-Ha-ha.

I smell marketing campaign.

Tell me she's 80 years old,
full of wrinkles and character.

Uh... sort of.

No, coffee. Is it coffee?

Do you think
we can market her dish?

Listen, don't kill me,

but I haven't exactly
tried it, yet.

-Hey.
-Hm.

How did you let
that jerk get in?

Look at the lengths
people are going

to eat your food, huh?
It's starting, baby!

Oh, Javiera,
would you stay a minute?

Your dish is delicious.
I could eat it all the time.

You make a terrific,
frozen dinner.

Could you share with us
some of your culinary secrets?

Oh...

How do you make love?

-What?
-From behind.

It's sort of like asking
how I cook.

It's personal.

There are food blogs
dedicated to this woman.

Joel, you have to go back!

No, I'm done.
I've done my civic duty.

Okay, listen, I have a really
big board meeting

coming up in the next few weeks,

and I need something positive
to report.

I really need your help
here, Joel.

And remember
what we talked about

regarding your inheritance.

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

Joel?

Joel?
[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Oh, hey, buddy!
How's New Mexico?

Oh, hey Aaron.
Question for you.

Why did a highway patrolman
just inform me that

my license has been suspended,
and as a result,

my car is being towed away?

Wow! That is-- that's terrible.

You know, I was sure...

you know, that I sent in
that renewal paperwork.

There is no doubt about it.

JOEL: Now I have to wait
to get in front of the DA

to talk about
a temporary permit.

This is all on you, pal.

It's because of you,
I insulted a cop,

and the tow truck driver,
although he deserved it.

And now I can't even get
a ride into town!

[SPANISH MUSIC PLAYING]

Seriously?

"Gone fishin'"?

With an apostrophe?

-Not fishing, I-N-G--
-[SPLASH]

[WHISPERS] Outstanding.

[GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

KEVIN: Listen, would you take
a look at these for me?

-Contracts? How romantic!
-Mm-hm.

I know, baby,
but it's good to have

things in writing, hm?

-You're gonna miss our tour bus.
-I look like a tourist to you?

You sure don't look
like you belong here.

-Amen, sister. Amen.
-Hey!

Sophia, haven't I told
you not to talk to strangers?

Hey,
I'm really not that strange.

[GIGGLING] He's funny.

Thanks, Junior!

Is this man bothering you,
Sophie?

My name is Sophia.

And no, he's funny.

It's not enough for you
to ruin my tour,

now you have to come
and harass the locals too?

-Hey, I was invited.
-By who?

[KEVIN LAUGHS]
Well, that doesn't count.

It's my tour and I want you out
of Villanueva.

You always have your man
speak for you?

This isn't just
about Kevin's tour,

but my cafe.

My cooking is my life,
and I won't let anyone make

a mockery of it.

Hey, don't look at me!

Displaced anger, huh, pal?

Something like that.

[ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYS]

[EXHALES]

Gracias, Diego.

I'll have what he had,
minus the flavor.

[ICE SCRAPING]

You know, sugar causes cancer,
right?

Okay, thank you.

I knew it!

[IGNITION CRANKING]
I missed everything.

Does your face hurt much?

Do you think you got
permanent brain damage?

Like, one day, when you're 80,

you'll wake up and not even know
who you are?

Honestly, kid,

I genuinely wish
that day were today.

Listen, do you know
any hotels around here?

Maybe like a Four Seasons
or something?

Oh, Ermenda rents rooms out.
She owns a gift shop

right across the street,
with like, the chiles.

Sophia, vámonos!

Look, listen. I'm--

I'm really not such
a bad guy here.

Listen, uh...

whoever you are, I don't know
where you come from,

but around here, everybody
looks out for each other.

So, if I were you, I'd watch it.

Ms. Javiera?

I couldn't help but notice
that you were handling

some legal documents
from your friend.

-You're a lawyer?
-Yeah, I'm a lawyer.

Figures.

I would get a professional look
at those if I were you.

You wouldn't wanna do anything
that you would regret.

Like turning around
and talking to you?

[SOPHIA GIGGLES]
Good one, Mama!

What a cute town. It's great.

STACEY: Hey,
I've been trying you for hours.

Don't start with me, sis.
It's been the worst week.

Yeah, I heard about Lauren.
Are you okay?

I haven't had time
to process it.

And I'm sure Aaron told you,
my good friend,

that my car has been impounded,

and I have to wait
to get in front of the DA,

but he apparently
has "gone fishin'"!

I can hear you grin, sis.

Being stuck in a town

with one of the best
regional chefs in New Mexico?

Now, why would I want that?

Just like old times.

My sister mocking me.

[CHUCKLING] I'm staring
at a photo

of the marketing campaign
we did.

You were such a bad actor!

That's because you made me
eat the product!

[WHISPERS] Hi!
Hold on, just a second.

STACEY: Yeah, but we had fun,
didn't we?

No, as I recall, you loved it,

because you were always
Daddy's little company girl.

[BELLOWS] Oh, come on!

It's charming.

Didn't realize I was renting
a room from the Vatican.

Uh, you sure
I can't pay you online?

I still use Windows 97.

[WOMAN CLEARS THROAT]

Are there any restaurants open?
I'm starving.

We only have one restaurant.
Javiera's.

-[EXHALES]
-And she's only open for lunch.

Looks like you really burned
that bridge, huh?

You have to integrate yourself,
muchacho.

Maybe I'll go buy
some turquoise paint.

Gonna get my suitcase.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Hey! Watch it, jerk!

Sorry, I didn't know it was you.

You make it a habit
of calling people "jerks"?

Well, you almost ran me over.
Listen, let's start over, huh?

Shall we?
I'm in a bit of a bind.

See, I am stuck here
until the DA comes back

-from his fishing trip.
-Yes, so I heard.

And I may starve to death.
How about a quid pro quo?

Huh?

I will look over
your boyfriend's contracts,

-the guy with the mustache...
-Are you...?

And in exchange,
you give me a great meal. Huh?

How about that? Hey!

A district attorney's fee is
$300 an hour, at least!

I'd say that's
a pretty good deal.

Think about it!

[SIZZLING]

[PHONE BUZZES]

-Hello?
-Hey!

I just wanted
to check in on you.

KEVIN: I didn't get a chance
to explain those contracts

-before I left.
-I'm fine. How's your eye?

It's still there.

Listen, if that asshole comes
back--

I should go.

Sophia needs help
with her homework.

Okay.

-Night, baby.
-Good night.

Hey! Flying to your man?

He's not my man.

All right,
he's sort of like my man.

You know, Kevin--
Kevin's a good guy.

He is fun. He's cute.

And we sort
of have the same goals.

Sort of is not good enough
for my daughter.

Mama, I am a single mother
living in Villanueva.

Population: 846.

848!
Tina had babies, twins.

I stand corrected.

848.

My point is,

"sort of" has become my,
"fantastic".

I'm okay with that.

More importantly, I trust Kevin.

-Sort of.
-Sort of.

Who are you cooking for?

Oh, please. That man is an ass.

Yes, I saw his ass.

And let me tell you
something about it:

-I approve.
-Mama!

-Take it, take it! Yeah!
-Mamá!

What did I miss?
What did I miss?

-Nothing.
-Nothing.

Here.

Why don't you bring this
to your new best friend, hm?

Ay! Sophia!

Wow, that's pretty good.

It probably has a lot of sugar
in it though, right?

Uh... It's actually all natural.

Mango, pear, ginger,
with a bit of carrot

to give it that unique zip.

-You want me to take it back?
-Oh, no, no, thank you.

It's...

It's pretty perfect, actually.
You can't get that back home.

-I'll tell you that.
-Where is that, Iceland?

Ah... No, actually.
I'm from Irvine, California.

Well, you probably can't
get this there, either.

Dinner or breakfast?

Sí?
[CHUCKLES]

You know, I was...

really hoping
for the house special.

Oh, I only make
that once a week.

That's only for family
and friends.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]

[CHIMING]

It's really good.

Excuse me.

-You like it?
-It's perfect.

You wanna know a secret?

[WHISPERS]
I don't like Mexican food...

normally.

But this is good.

Are you sure it's Mexican food?

[GIGGLING]

Hey.

So, it's a fairly basic
partnership agreement.

You've agreed to partner
on a product line

and a potential,
new restaurant venture.

Yes, but why the fairly?

Well,
I'm assuming you agreed to this,

but the percentage
of ownership...

um... it's a 60-40 split.

In your boyfriend's favor.

I just wanted to make sure,
because it seems a bit askew.

It seems pretty obvious
that you're the real asset here.

Also, we should go over division
of net profits,

-and equity compensation.
-It's fine.

Also, there's something
you should know.

[EXHALES AUDIBLY]

Recipes aren't protected
under copyright law.

Anyone can copy
a chef's recipe.

And I just wanted you
to be aware of that.

What are you suggesting?

That Kevin would steal my dish?

No.

No, no, no.

From the little
that I know Kevin,

he seems like
a real stand-up guy.

And I might add, quite a catch.

Is that
your professional opinion?

Yes.

Because your counsel is
no longer needed.

Thanks for...

dinner.

He seems sad.

You don't know him, chiquita.

We don't know him.

How are you supposed
to know somebody

if you don't give them a chance?

[SPANISH MUSIC PLAYING]

[PANTING]
[CHUCKLING]

-Don't you ever go to school?
-It's Feast Day!

Of course it is. What's that?

Feast day of Saint Isidre.

Patron saint of farmers.

We all pray for a good harvest.

-And then what do you do?
-We eat!

Of course you do.

[EXHALES]
[GROANS]

Why do you run so much?

Because it's good for you.

Besides,
I'm training for Iron Man.

You know Iron Man?

You're a pretty literal kid,
huh?

Well, I'm a kid, and maybe
you're just not used to that.

True. I'm not used to it at all.

-Can I ask you a question?
-That was a question.

-But yes, you can.
-Why did you hit Kevin?

-Self-defense.
-Why did Kevin hit you?

You'd have to ask him that.

What's the worst thing
you've ever done?

Cheat on my LSATS.

-How about you?
-Call my dad and hang up on him.

I just wanted to hear his voice.

He lives in Albuquerque
with his new wife

and their brand new baby.

He's my brother,
but when I look at him,

I just see a big blob.

What's the nicest thing
you've ever done?

Yet to be determined.

Does that mean you've never,
ever done anything nice?

Means...

maybe it means I haven't done
anything worth mentioning yet.

Call it bum luck.

I call that pathetic.

[LAUGHING]

Jesus.

[MEXICAN MUSIC PLAYING]

Look at that gringo eating goat!

[GIGGLING]

You're kidding, right?

No, Mr. Handsome. It is goat.

Who knew I liked goat?

It's got this amazing smoky,
earthy thing going on.

That's Javiera and her chiles.

The Torres family are known
for their chiles.

They win all the big awards.

Where do they grow these chiles?

Oh, sorry. Is that a thing?
I didn't know that was a thing.

The key difference between
a New Mexican

and Mexican cuisine is
the way you use your chiles.

You know?
It can make or break a dish.

Including your daughter's?

My daughter is a very good cook.

Speaking of which,

do I really have
to wait a full week

for this signature dish of hers?

-Couldn't I do something to--
-Look at Mr. Charming.

-[CHUCKLES]
-Don't push it.

Javiera has been known
to skip for weeks

if she's not feeling like it.

Or if she's pissed off.

-[GIGGLING] Oh.
-Yeah.

I bet she never gets pissed off.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

CORDELIA: What could I do?
Just tell me. He just showed up!

Hija,
I really don't understand you.

I mean, what's your problem?
He-- he-- he's...

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Oh, looks?
That's all it takes for you?

I think after Papá
you'd learn your lesson!

Sh!

Yes, I had eight hellish years
with your Papá.

But the sex was fantástico.

And that made up for it?

Well, let me tell you something.
You know what, it did not hurt.

Oh, and when it hurt,
it hurt so good.

[CONVERSING IN SPANISH]

Ay!

-[CHEERING]
-[GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]-

You know,
I never thought I was religious,

but I like this church.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

-So, where's the middle?
-MAN: The universe?

It's too big to tell.

Just think.

Before Galileo came along,

people thought the Earth was
in the middle.

-Really?
-JAVIERA: Uh-huh.

We all thought
that all the stars

and the planets revolved
around us.

JOEL: Is it true?

Are we out of beer?

Galileo proved that
we're just a part of it all.

-Huh, that's...
-Sucks.

Let's face it, Galileo
and his stupid little telescope

are total downers.

Galileo was a hero.

He was a man of great integrity
and honor.

He went to jail
for what he believed.

Yeah?
Well, I'm stuck

in this dusty little town
without a proper,

workout facility.
So, stuff happens.

Listen, it sucks...

that we're not
the center of the universe.

It really, really sucks.
Who's with me?

Me! Oh, yeah.

Listen. Listen.

Is there a 7/11 around here?

MAN: Tell me this guy is not
our new science teacher.

JOEL: Siete/once?

Anyone?
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

JAVIERA: Hey!

Didn't anyone warn you about
the drinking and the altitude?

Yeah.

I got it with the attitude.

Altitude.

[WHISPERS]
Hey, can I get a ride?

-Oh.
-No.

-Sure.
-No.

No, not in my car!

That is a sweet little lady
right there.

[JOEL GROANS]

-Is he drunk?
-Of course not.

[JOEL MUTTERS GIBBERISH]

Really?

Ok, maybe a little.

Let this be a lesson for you.

Don't drink and study astronomy.

Don't drink!

It turns you into a fool.

But you said he was a fool
when he wasn't drunk.

Why do I have a daughter that
questions me at every turn?

Why do you say that?

[JOEL SNORES]

So how are you gonna
get him home?

Well, that's a good question.

Hey, uh, wake up!

Wake up, you crazy man!

He's not waking up.

[JOEL CONTINUES SNORING
AND MUTTERING]

[CROWING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I wrote, "Stay in the truck!"

-Can't you read?
-Don't shout!

My head is killing me.

JAVIERA: Okay

-Am I dead? Is this heaven?
-No.

But this is clearly
my personal hell. Ugh!

This is your family's,
secret chile field.

Isn't it?

What do you know
about my chile field?

Nothing, look, you're the one
who dragged me here, okay?

I tried to get you
out of my truck.

I can't believe this.

Only my family knows
about this place.

Don't worry,
I'm not gonna tell anyone.

Besides, I couldn't.

I have no idea
where the hell we are.

Wait. What are you doing?

No, no, no.
My grandfather had a farm

and I was a vegetarian
for years, it's fine.

[JAVIERA EXHALES AUDIBLY]

[CRUNCH]

-Uh-uh.
-Wow, that's good!

No eating the product.

You said your...

your grandfather was a farmer?

He was an entrepreneur of sorts,

but what I remember
most about him

was how much he loved nature.

He always told me not
to overcomplicate things,

so the best ideas are
often the most simple.

It's kind of his motto.

It's like cooking.

Sometimes the most
complex dishes can be...

the most simple.

You can't hide
behind your ingredients.

Exactly!

I think.

Must be nice to have a passion
for something.

[JAVIERA SCOFFS LIGHTLY]

You don't like being a lawyer?

I wouldn't say it's a calling,
like your cooking.

I wouldn't say my cooking is
a calling as much as it's...

an instinct.

-Instinct?
-Mm-hm.

It sure is beautiful out here.

It's like we're in the center
of the universe, huh?

Galileo.

-Cute.
-Uh-huh.

JAVIERA: Real cute.

You know, just because
I have a bag over my head,

doesn't mean I don't know
exactly where we are.

Two right turns
and a stop sign, right?

You forgot a sharp left.

Oh!

Okay, thank you, thank you.

Listen, we seem to have gone off
on a bad start.

How about I make it up to you?
You ever been to Santa Fe?

Hm. Never heard of it.

Okay, lame question.

Well, I never have.

-I was just thinking...
-No!

I'm not going
on a date with you.

Good,
because I'm in a relationship.

Oh, really?

-I heard you were dumped.
-Okay, I got dumped.

And you have a boyfriend.

This would just be

me taking you out
to a very expensive meal.

Come on,
my sister just e-mailed me

about this place in Santa Fe.
It's new.

I get my own culinary tour
and you...

would get to check out
the competition firsthand.

[PHONE CHIMING]

[SIGHS]

Woo, what are you getting
all dressed up for?

Just going to Santa Fe.

Isn't Kevin in Taos?

Sophia,
will you please go to the cafe

and bring us some eggs
for tonight?

I know what you're doing.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Okay.

No, this one.

-Keep this one.
-I just...

I feel like it's so much skin.

Are you a nun?

Okay.

Hold on, Stacey.

Hello?

[WHISPERS] I can't believe
you're making me do this.

You are the one who reported
how great her chiles were.

I don't think you
and your food scientists

are gonna be able to
reverse engineer this one, sis.

Yeah? Well, you just...

let me worry about that, okay?

I just need one sample, Joel.
Just one.

SOPHIA: Hello?

Hello?

Galileo!

Great!
You're calling me that now?

Everybody calls you that now.

Huh...

-So, what are you doing here?
-I...

Just hungry.

Wait.

I thought you were going
to have dinner with my mom.

She got all dressed up
for you and everything.

That's not fair!
I knew you first.

I think you're gonna have a lot
of fancy dinners in your future.

Hey, listen. Do me a favor?

Don't tell your mom I was here.

I wouldn't want her to think
that I ruined my dinner.

Okay.

So...

Here.

[RINGING]

For your dumb luck.

I think you mean bum luck?

Yeah, that's what I said.

-I'll see you later?
-Okay.

-Have fun with my mom!
-See ya.

-Bye!
-Bye!

This isn't what you think it is.

I didn't say anything.

Where is he?

This was a bad idea.

-Sorry. I...
-Forgot?

Definitely not.

I just need a minute.

Let's just get this over with,
huh?

That's the spirit.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay, I see we're gonna have
to set up

some ground rules here.

Number one,
I'm here for the meal.

Everyone knows Kevin
in Santa Fe,

and I would like
to experience dining like...

like an anonymous civilian.

Which is why I'm here with you
and not him.

-Just to be clear.
-Clear.

Number two.

There will be
no post-dinner drinks.

And definitely not drinks.

What are you looking at?

You're not the only one who
doesn't consider this a date.

What makes you think
you're so damn desirable anyway?

-[JAVIERA SCOFFS]
-Okay, okay, fine.

I'm not blind but I'm
a pretty good catch myself.

I mean, I'm a lawyer,

I'm not ugly,

I've got some dollars in the...

-Hey, can you spare some change
-Charitable?

-A guy can't have everything.
-Yeah, right.

Just wouldn't be fair.

Did you know oysters
are high in zinc?

Did you know they also raise
your sperm count?

Anyway.
So... tell me about you.

-This is not a date.
-This is not a date.

All right.
Well, believe it or not,

I used to own
a fancy restaurant.

A bit like this one.

In Albuquerque with my ex.

-Sophia's dad?
-Uh-huh.

Turns out that saying,

"Too many cooks in the kitchen"?

Not such a cliché.

At first,
it was great, actually.

Working side by side.

Bradley was
very proud of me and...

he would brag that
I could outcook him.

And then the reviews
started to single me out,

and people started
coming in for my dishes.

My chile sauce.

And uh...

he cheated on me.

We divorced... he married her.

She's the stay-at-home type.

[SCOFFS] Funny.

She wasn't staying at home
when she was banging my husband.

Bitch.

Thank you.

And now, you're with Kevin.

Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT]

Kevin.

So, what about you?
What's your sad, sad story?

What's your ex like?

Well, she's attractive.

-Shocking.

I mean like, what does she do?

Oh!

Lauren's in marketing.

Okay, marketing what?

Branding and...

stuff like that.

You have no idea
what she does for a living.

Our relationship wasn't
about that.

-She was very supportive.
-Oh, I bet.

Of you.

Don't you think it's important
for two people

to be supportive of one another?

Would you like to hear
about our specials?

Please!

And I will be very supportive
of your decision.

First, we have a lovely pollo
and pipian rojo.

Oh, nice!

That's chicken in red sauce
with pumpkin seeds.

I make that from time to time.

We're also featuring tonight
a new dish,

called Asado de puerco verde.

It's a split-roasted pork chop,
stuffed with...

[IN UNISON] Ground pork
in pasote

and served
with chile verde sickle.

Why, I guess.
Have you been here before?

[PERCUSSION MUSIC PLAYS]

Where are you going?

[IN SPANISH]

[JAVIERA YELLING IN SPANISH]

Don't look at me,
this isn't a date.

-[YELLING]
-[POTS CLANKING]

Sorry.

Javiera?

Hey, what's wrong?

I need a drink.

Man, I knew that foodie couple
from the tour sucked.

-[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-[JAVIERA SOBBING]

[WHISPERS] Thank you.

I feel badly.

Why?

You didn't steal my dish.

Your cooking is
so important to you.

It means everything.

Where did that come from?

-You want me to take it back?
-No way.

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

What's in your pocket?

[BELL JINGLING]

Is that Sophia's?

She lent it to me.

She thought
I could use the luck.

Well, it's working, right?

Well, well, well.

I can't believe you.

And with this guy?

Is this about
our partnership agreement?

Are you trying to sabotage
our business?

Is that what this is to you?

A business agreement?

You know we're more than that.

I counted to ten.

I said, wait ten minutes.

I thought you were working
in Taos.

Alone.

What's her problem?

You think she was your...

girl or-- oh, you dick.

Well, well, well.

Enough.

No more hitting.

[ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYS]

Are you okay?

I feel horrible.

Oh, no. It's my fault.
I got in the way.

Ow.

Getting punched in the face
really hurts.

It's the first time anyone,
much less a girl...

-Woman!
-A woman.

A woman, took a punch for me.

I think that's...

I think the nicest thing
anyone's ever done for me.

I think that's the nicest thing
I've ever done for anyone.

You know, I...

I'm thinking about something

I haven't done with anyone
in... years.

Yeah?

I'm totally up for anything.

Really?

You wanna cook together?

So, let's make this fun, huh?

Go pick like,

ten random ingredients.

Really? Is that gonna be good?

Okay.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

-Oh!
-What do you think?

How about that?

You're going easy on me.

You are a very smart man.

Nice.

-Onions.
-That's good.

Oh, so spicy!

[MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING]

-Control the bowl.
-Stop!

I got it. I got it.

JOEL: This is getting
a little weird.

But I like it.

I can't dance or cook.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CORDELIA SINGING IN SPANISH]

[POT CLATTERS

What the heck?

Corn Flakes never looked
so good.

[PHONE DIALING]

-Sí?
-They're cooking.

-[GASPS] No!
-Sí.

He might be the one!

Salud!

[BELL CHIMES]

It looks too good to eat.

And you...

look too good to be true.

Careful.

[SWEET ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

BRIAN: No, no, it's
a great idea. The mix is the...

the dessert with the entree,

and that's why I think
it's a true winner.

A churro stuffed
with a beefy beanie burrito?

Come on, Brian.

I sent you out
for a new product.

No, no, no, no, no.
It's a good idea.

It's umami thing.
It's the salts with the sweets.

Yummy.

Yeah. Oh, thanks, dude.

All right, you guys aren't
giving me anything.

Don't tell me
I have to rely on Joel.

Oh, speaking of which,
did the chile sample come in?

No.

You know a way
to turn things around?

A new marketing campaign.

Yeah. Good idea, genius.

We just ran
a bunch of new spots.

And we saw no bump in sales.

What about running old spots?

Retro is in,

and most importantly,
it's cheap.

You know what?
I like that. I like it a lot.

[PHONE RINGING]

Mm... So good!

Hello? You've reached Joel.
Gotcha! [LAUGHS]

[SWEET MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHTER]

[PHONE RINGING]

[PHONE RINGING]

It's my assistant.

Oh. Well, maybe it's important.

Do you have any open cases?

Open cases?

You watch a lot of TV.

I have a PhD in TV law, yes,
thank you very much.

Today is the big day, huh?

You get to finally
get your car back.

I hope he caught a lot of fish.

And I'm making
my signature dish.

I thought you'd be a little more
enthused about it.

I am, for you.

And I've been waiting forever
for this dish.

Yeah, you have.

Well...

you know, just because
you get your car back,

doesn't mean you have to leave.

Who says I'm leaving?

Who says you're not?

I do.

Dude!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

Thanks for returning my calls!

-Joel?
-Javiera.

This is...

Oh, I'm Stacey. Joel's sister.

Oh...

And this is Aaron, a colleague.

It's very nice to meet you,
both of you, um...

I'm Javiera, Joel's...

I mean...

So? What brings you two here?

Business.

Business? In Villanueva?

There's not much here.

Oh, I don't know, I wouldn't be
so sure about that.

Well, I'm so happy to meet you.
Today is a good day, too.

I'm making my specialty.

Oh!

I had a feeling today was gonna
be a good day.

Excuse me.
I have to return to the kitchen.

Of course, go!

I need to talk to you.

Alone.

You had a very specific task.

And instead, I find you here
rebounding with this woman?

Sh... It is not a rebound!

-[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-[CLINKING OF CUTLERY]

STACEY: Oh, I take it that's
Javiera's daughter.

So, this is what
you've been up to?

-Playing house?
-Listen.

She doesn't know who I am.

She knows that I'm a lawyer,

but she doesn't know the rest.

Please...

Please let me tell her.
Give me that, at least.

All right.

But I advise you to come back
to reality and quickly...

before someone gets hurt.

Like that adorable little girl
over there.

So, his sister is in town
doing business here?

Maybe she's working in Santa Fe,

I don't know,
she didn't really say.

Maybe he's thinking about
moving here?

-And she came to check you out.
-Stop it with the jinxing! Mamá!

Right.

-[CLATTER]
-[GASPS] Ow!

It's that game!
He's been distracted all day.

I'm gonna start
charging you for this, okay?

It's okay, you can keep
the TV on.

I'm having a great day.

Oh, a woman in love.

That's all it took? Damn!

-Mm. So good!
-I'm glad you like it.

So, my daughter tells me that
you're doing business here.

My company is looking
to expand into the area.

Maybe we'll get to see you
more often.

We've gotten
quite used to Galileo.

Galileo?

Yeah, sorry.

That's the town's nickname
for your brother.

He thinks that the world
revolves around him, doesn't he?

I'm really starting
to love this town.

So, tell me more
about this signature dish

of your daughter's.

What's it called?

It's called, Amanecer
chile verde de Javiera.

Javiera's green chile sunrise.

[CONVERSING IN SPANISH]

-Enjoy.
-Thank you.

How about that for marketing?

Why are you
just sitting there?

Why do you ask
so many questions?

And why are you never
in school?

Well, my classroom got flooded

and Mom says that the whole,
entire town needs new ducks.

I think you mean aqueducts.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Mom said you got your car back.

Does that mean
you're gonna leave?

I promise you something.

I won't leave here unless
I'm no longer wanted.

-But you're wanted.
-Thanks, kiddo.

Wait, where are you going?

To find out if I'm wanted.

It's amazing!

Perfect.

[SLOW SWEET MUSIC PLAYS]

[SIGHS]

Oh, come on!

It's okay.

[TV PLAYING]

Tortilla Hut started
with the love and determination

of one man,

who respected nature and whose
motto was simplicity.

Where are you going?
You can't go in there.

She's in the middle of service
and she will kill you.

And to celebrate
Tortilla Hut's anniversary...

-Our famous taco combo...
-Hey! Isn't that Joel?

... is available
for only 49 cents.

Why are grandpa's tacos
so good, Joel?

Family and love.

That makes everything
taste better.

Tortilla Hut.

Where everything is
bigger and better.

Hey, what's going on?
Darling, what's going on?

He's not who he says he is.

-You're not Joel?
-No, I'm still Joel.

I'm just not the man
your mother thought I was.

That's what you said
about Daddy.

Please,
give me a chance to explain.

For what?

So you can lie to me some more?

-What do you want from me?
-Hey, no! Hey, stop.

Joel, what are you doing?

My dish.

-You wanna steal my dish?
-No, we are not thieves.

We have every intention
of compensating you.

You wanna rip me off, huh?

Where does your food come from?

Tortilla Hut, of course.

You know where my food
comes from?

Them.

The lamb from my albóndigas
come from Mr. Chaves.

Oh, and then Mrs. Garcia.

Her smoked chipotle chevre.

Her goats pasture on our hills.

And she never gives them
hormones! You know why?

Because she respects
the animals!

And we can feel it, see it...

-taste it.
-That's right, Javiera.

And what about
the most important part?

Your family's chiles.

That's right.

So you and your industrial
food lady with antibiotics,

binders and emulsifiers,

are gonna need
a hell of a lot of inspiration

to duplicate what we have here.

Well...

we have all the inspiration
we need.

And we have a team
of food scientists

who can duplicate your chile.

That can't be real.

Or legal.

They're gonna compensate you,
Javiera.

I'm gonna see to that.

Compensated?

[LAMENTING IN SPANISH]

You clearly don't know me.

And I obviously never knew you.

Sophia!

Javiera, please.
I didn't know how to tell you.

-Was this all a joke to you?
-No, it was real.

It was very real.

You don't even know
what that means.

This is real to me.

Family.

And I want no part of you
or your family.

And I am pleased to report
that we're well on our way

to achieving
our quarterly objective,

bringing sophisticated flavors
to mainstream America.

So now, I'd like to introduce
to you our new VP, Aaron Weston

who is going to present to you
our new product report.

Aaron?

Thank you, Stacey. Gentlemen.

We have worked around the clock

to duplicate
the Southwest experience

for our core consumers.

NARRATOR: Our team combed
every corner of the Southwest

to find its most authentic
regional dishes.

And it doesn't get
more authentic

than the smoky New Mexican
green chile.

Using cutting-edge food science

Tortilla Hut is bringing
this exotic flavor

from our family to yours.

Now, what we have come up with,
is testing through the roof.

I give you...

the Sopa Bowl salad.

STACEY: So, what
we have done is

recreate our favorite
Southwestern dish,

taking what works
while keeping cost low.

Right, instead of pricy lamb,
we're using ground beef.

Instead of designer cheese,

our version is processed,
but gooeylishious,

as one focus group member said.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]

You want people to eat that?

No. We want them to devour it.

AARON: Also testing
through the roof,

our chili sauce packets.

STACEY: Pass those down.

We're thinking that
once these catch on,

we'll just slide in
a little upcharge.

You'll never be able
to duplicate Villanueva.

And I'm glad to see it.

STACEY: Joel!

And you'll never duplicate
Tortilla Hut

and what it means to you.

I don't wanna duplicate
anything.

I want something real.
I quit.

[MEXICAN MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

-Baby?
-Huh?

People have been asking
about your sunrise dish.

You know it's off the menu,
Mamá.

It's gonna be okay, okay?

You'll see.

[WHISPERS] Thank you.

SOPHIA: I'll show them.
I'll bring Joel back.

Hola, mi chiquita.

Hola, abuelita.

[CONVERSING IN SPANISH]

A treasure map?

-You are my treasure.
-[LIPS SMACKING]

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

What are you doing?

[PANTING]

Oh, you...

Nice, you...

You're getting me
my own flowers?

[BREATHLESSLY] Hey.

Never promised you
a rose garden.

It's a song. It's from the 60's.
The 70's I think.

Why are you here?

Isn't it obvious?

I came here--
I biked 900 miles... for you.

I love you, Javiera.

You're not the first man
to tell me that.

Maybe I'm the first man
to ever come back.

First man to apologize.

What I did was wrong
and selfish.

And I know now.

What I want at the center
of my universe isn't myself,

but you.

You and Sophia.

What do you plan
to do in this...

small, dusty town?

JOEL: I'm gonna open up
a law office.

I Googled.
There is no lawyer for 35 miles.

You? You Googled.

I Googled.

Where's Sophia?

Mamá, have you seen Sophia?

Sí, sí, she was playing
with her treasure map.

Come back here,
you little thief!

Sophia!

TRUCK OWNER:
Come back, you thief!

-Sophia!
-My granddaughter's not a thief!

JOEL: Stop!

She's a very good girl.

[POP MUSIC PLAYS]

Climb over to the rock.

Hold on!

Hold on.

Let go on three, ready?
One, two, three.

Sophia!

No, no, it's okay.

It's ok, just hold on to Joel,
baby.

JAVIERA: Oh my God!

Ay, mi bebé.

Mamita, it's okay...

I love you, Mommy is right here
Mommy is right here, baby.

Mommy.

My girl!

My crazy little girl!

[SPEAKING SPANISH]
What were you thinking?

I wanted-- I wanted Joel back.

Can we keep him? Please?

-He's not a dog, mamita.
-Please?

Well...

Thank you.

Thank you for saving
my little girl's life.

No.

Thank you for saving mine.

What are you looking at?

JOEL: Let's get out of here.

We have an order for three more
chili smoothies.

Already? I haven't even finished
the last order yet.

Hey!

It was your idea
to integrate yourself

into the family business.

Come on, Daddy!
I'm not getting any younger.

I almost forgot,
I've got to catch the DA

before he goes
to his fishing lunch.

You're working on a Saturday?

Hey, you knew I was a lawyer
when you married me.

Besides, somebody's gotta fight

for those bike lanes
on Main Street.

All right, all right.
I'll finish the smoothies.

Hey!
Hey, take it easy.

I'm fine.

What's she feeding you, anyway?

Plenty of love.
