Buddy: COMING UP
ON "CAKE BOSS"...

Ralph: "HEY, BUDDY, WHY YOU
SO STRESSED OUT?"

"OH, I'M DOING TAXES."

WE'RE GOING TO DO A WIPED‐OUT
ACCOUNTANT AT HIS DESK.

HOW CAN IT BE OFF
THAT MUCH?

HE'S GOT TO BE UP 6".

6"?

[ LAUGHTER ]

OH, MY GOSH!

WE GOT THIS HUGE CAKE
FOR THIS FLOWER SHOW.

HEY, BUDDY!

Buddy: SO I HAVE TO BRING IN
THE BIG GUNS.

OKAY, YOU GUYS.
THIS IS A REJECT.

ONE, TWO...

I GOT A HERNIA.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT A HERNIA.

WELL, IT'LL BE ABOUT
AT LEAST TWO WEEKS

THAT WE WANT YOU
TO RECOVER.

IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, YOU'LL
BE OUT OF COMMISSION FOUR WEEKS.

NO, I GET IT.

‐YOU GOT TO GO TO THE SIDE!
‐I'M GOING!

‐YOU GOT TO GET IT
OUT OF THE WAY!
‐I'M TRYING!

Buddy: THIS IS CARLO'S BAKERY.

EVERY WEEK, THOUSANDS OF CAKES
AND PASTRIES GO OUT THESE DOORS.

THIS IS THE CREW ‐‐
MIA FAMIGLIA.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE THIS BAKERY
TO THE TOP.

THEY CALL ME BUDDY.
I'M THE BOSS.

ONCE ALL THE WIRES
ARE CONNECTED,

WE'LL HAVE A NICE TRACING
OF YOUR HEART.

COOL.

SO, THIS WEEK I'M GETTING READY
TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE

'CAUSE I GOT TO HAVE
A HERNIA SURGERY.

I'M GONNA NEED YOU TO MAKE
A NICE, TIGHT FIST,

AND KEEP YOUR
ARM STRAIGHT.

SO, I GO FOR A LITTLE PRE‐OP
TO MAKE SURE

THAT MY BLOOD'S OKAY
AND THAT MY HEART'S OKAY

AND EVERYTHING IS GOOD
FOR THE SURGERY.

YOU KNOW, IF I GOT TO GET
THIS HERNIA SURGERY,

THAT MEANS I'M GONNA BE OUT
OF THE BAKERY.

I MEAN, I GOT GREAT PEOPLE,
DON'T GET ME WRONG.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST ALWAYS FEEL BETTER
WHEN I'M THERE.

SO, IT'LL BE ABOUT AT LEAST
TWO WEEKS

THAT WE WANT TO YOU RECOVER.

DON'T LIFT ANYTHING
MORE THAN 20 POUNDS,

AND YOU DON'T DO ANY
STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES.

‐TWO WEEKS?
‐TWO WEEKS, NO WORK?

Doctor: TWO WEEKS THAT YOU
DON'T DO ANY HEAVY LIFTING.

THE REALITY OF BUDDY NOT
DOING ANY EXTRANEOUS LIFTING
AND WORKING IS SLIM TO NONE.

UNFORTUNATELY, IF HE DOES,

HE COULD BE 10 TIMES WORSE
THAN WHAT HE REALLY IS NOW.

LISA, MY HEALTH
COMES FIRST, OKAY?

I DON'T CARE.
I GOT TO DO WHAT I GOT TO DO.

OKAY, 'CAUSE YOU COULD BE ‐‐
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN,

YOU'LL BE OUT OF COMMISSION
FOUR WEEKS.

NO, I GET IT.
I GET IT.

‐SEE YOU THE DAY OF SURGERY,
ALL RIGHT?
‐ALL RIGHT.

THEY TELL ME I NEED BETWEEN
TWO WEEKS AND A MONTH OF REST.

AND I'M LIKE, "LOOK ‐‐
THAT JUST AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU'RE GONNA GET
A WEEK."

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Buddy: HEY, GUYS,
COME OVER HERE.

HERE'S A BROWN DERBY CAKE.

THIS IS A NEW CAKE.

WE GOT A NEW
QUALITY‐CONTROL TEST.

THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY JOB ‐‐
QUALITY CONTROL.

THAT'S WHY I LOOK
THE WAY I DO.

A BROWN DERBY CAKE
IS A CHOCOLATE CAKE

FILLED WITH WHIPPED CREAM
AND DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRUIT.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE
AN OLD‐SCHOOL CAKE

THAT WE'RE THINKING
OF BRINGING BACK HERE
AT CARLO'S BAKERY.

I LIKE THE BANANA.
‐I LIKE THE BANANAS, TOO.

STILL YOUR PIECE OVER THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

‐THERE'S NO BANANA IN MINE.
‐OH.

IT'S QUALITY CONTROL ‐‐
THE LITTLE PIECE.

NOW,
THAT'S THE FIRST THING

THAT WAS NO GOOD
WITH THE QUALITY ‐‐

THERE WASN'T A PIECE
OF BANANA IN EVERY SLICE.

‐WHAT'S UP?
‐HEY.

‐HOW ARE YOU, BABY?
‐WHAT'S UP, MIKE?
HOW YOU DOING?

Buddy: TODAY MY BUDDY MICHAEL
COMES IN THE BAKERY.

HE'S AN ACCOUNTANT, AND THIS
TIME OF YEAR IS THEIR "GO" TIME.

I MEAN, THEY WORK NONSTOP.

IT'S THEIR CHRISTMAS,
THEIR SUPER BOWL.

IT'S "GO" TIME FROM LIKE
JANUARY TILL APRIL 15th.

I GOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE
THAT WORK FOR ME

THAT ARE JUST
EXTREMELY DEDICATED,

REALLY HARD‐WORKING,

AND I'M JUST TRYING TO COME UP
WITH SOMETHING

THAT LIKE ‐‐ TO REALLY SHOW THEM
I APPRECIATE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

SO, WE WERE THINKING
ONE NIGHT, LATE,

TOWARDS THE END
OF THE DAY,

WHEN THESE GUYS NEED A BREAK,
YOU COULD BRING THIS CAKE.

AND, I MEAN, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE A REALLY BIG CAKE.

MICHAEL WANTS TO SURPRISE
ALL HIS EMPLOYEES

WITH A GREAT CAKE ONE NIGHT
WHEN THEY'RE WORKING LATE,

AND I HAVE THE PERFECT IDEA.

SO, I'M THINKING LIKE
MAYBE A DESK, LIKE ‐‐

LIKE, LOOKING AT DANNY SITTING
ON THE CHAIR OVER THERE.

‐THAT LOOKS LIKE ‐‐ YEAH.
‐RIGHT?

AND WE HAVE A TIRED ACCOUNTANT
SITTING DOWN AT A DESK.

Michael: THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
BUT IT'S GOT TO BE LIFE‐SIZE.

LIKE, I'M THINKING BIG.

LIFE‐SIZE?

THEN WE COULD JUST KIND OF LIKE
HIGHLIGHT ACCOUNTANT THINGS.

MAYBE WE COULD HAVE ‐‐
‐HIS PHONES, HIS LAPTOP,
HIS SUPPLIES.

PIZZA, CHINESE FOOD.
THAT'D BE GOOD.

WE LIVE ON THAT.
THERE'S A LOT OF PIZZA, COFFEE.

LISTEN ‐‐ I'M UP
FOR THE CHALLENGE.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE LIKE
ONE OF THOSE AWESOME CAKES.

‐ALWAYS A PLEASURE.
‐TAKE IT EASY, MIKEY.

ALL RIGHT, THANKS.
YOU GUYS BE GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.

Buddy:
SO, FOR MICHAEL'S TAX CAKE,

WE'RE GONNA DO OUR NEW FLAVOR ‐‐
BROWN DERBY CAKE.

WE START WITH CHOCOLATE CAKE

AND FILLED THAT UP
WITH REAL WHIPPED CREAM.

THEN WE PILE ON BANANAS
AND FRESH STRAWBERRIES.

‐OKAY, WHAT ELSE YOU WANT?
‐PEACHES AND PINEAPPLE.

YES, SIR, WE GOT THAT
IN CONTROL.

Buddy: AND THEN ON GOES
THE PINEAPPLE, PEACH JAM.

SEE, DANNY?
WE PUT PEACH JAM IN HERE.

OH, MAN, DOES THAT LOOK GOOD.

ANOTHER LAYER OF CHOCOLATE CAKE.

DIRTY‐ICE THE WHOLE THING.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE TOP
OF OUR ACCOUNTANT'S DESK.

[ GRUNTING ]

"HEY, BUDDY, WHY YOU
SO STRESSED OUT?"

"OH, I'M DOING TAXES."

Buddy: I PUT RALPH ON THE TASK
OF MAKING THIS BIG ACCOUNTANT.

Ralph: HEY, MAURO,
COULD YOU MAKE

LIKE A STRESSED‐OUT
FACE FOR ME

WHEN YOU GET A SECOND?
‐STRESSED‐OUT FACE?

JUST LIKE REST
YOUR FACE IN YOUR HANDS

AND LOOK STRESSED OUT.

HOLD IT.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

THAT'S PRICELESS.

THAT'S JUST MY NORMAL LOOK.

THAT'S KIND OF WHY
I CAME TO YOU.

YOU MAKE THE GUY
LOOK LIKE THAT,

WE MIGHT GET A COMPLAINT
ON THAT CAKE.

LET ME SEE WHAT YOU LOOK
LIKE WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

SO, TO GET LIKE A REALLY GOOD
STRESSED‐OUT LOOK,

RALPH TAKES PICTURES OF HIM,
JUAN, AND MAURO.

HERE'S MAURO.
THAT'S GREAT.

I MEAN, THESE ARE
NOT GONNA LOOK SO GOOD.

"OHH."

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THIS IS BUDDY.
MAY I HELP YOU?

I GET A CALL ABOUT A HUGE CAKE

FOR THE PHILADELPHIA
FLOWER SHOW,

WHICH IS REALLY COOL
BECAUSE SUGAR FLOWERS

IS ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES.

AND YOU WANT
THIS BIG CAKE TO REPRESENT

ALL THE DIFFERENT FLOWERS YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE AT THE SHOW.

IT'S GOT TO BE HUGE.
IT'S GOT TO BE DRAMATIC.

THE PROBLEM IS, THESE PEOPLE
ARE FLOWER EXPERTS,

SO THEY WANT ALL THESE FLOWERS
TO BE VERY BOTANICALLY CORRECT.

I JUST GOT A PHONE CALL, GUYS ‐‐

A HUGE CAKE GOING TO THE
PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW.

IT'S PARIS‐THEMED,

SO THEY'RE GONNA PUT
SOME MONUMENTS

FROM FRANCE AND PARIS,
ALONG WITH LOTS OF FLOWERS,

DIFFERENT SPECIES, YOU KNOW,
SOME CRAZY STUFF.

JOE, YOU MAKE THE SPONGE
FOR IT, OKAY?

AND, FRANKIE, TELL THE GIRLS TO
MAKE GUM PASTE FOR THE FLOWERS.

ALL RIGHT? LET'S GO.

OH, LUNCHTIME'S OVER.

[ LAUGHTER ]

THIS CAKE IS GONNA BE HUGE ‐‐
EIGHT TIERS.

WE'RE GONNA ADD PARIS LANDMARKS,
LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER,

NOTRE DAME,
AND THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE.

THEN COMES THE FLOWERS, AND WE
NEED TO MAKE HUNDREDS OF THEM ‐‐

ROSES, HIBISCUS, PEONIES,
ALL KINDS.

AND FOR THE FINISHING TOUCH,

WE'LL ADD LIGHTS TO HIGHLIGHT
ALL THE FLOWERS.

BUT WE GOT TO GET CRANKING

'CAUSE WE GOT A LOT OF WORK
TO DO.

MAN, THESE THINGS
ARE GETTING BIG NOW.

SO FOR THIS FLOWER SHOW CAKE,

I GET MY GUYS STACKING AND
FILLING ALL THE LAYERS.

THIS CAKE'S GONNA BE HUGE ‐‐
EIGHT TIERS TALL.

BUT TO MAKE ALL THESE FLOWERS,

IT'S LIKE ALL HANDS ON DECK.

DANA IS THE NEW GUY AROUND HERE,

AND HE'S BEEN LEARNING A LOT,
BUT HE'S NEVER DONE FLOWERS.

SO I GOT THE GIRLS
SHOWING HIM HOW

'CAUSE HE'S GOT TO LEARN THIS
LIKE TODAY.

‐LITTLE BALL TOOL.
‐YEP.

Buddy: FIRST YOU GOT TO USE
THE BALL TOOL

TO ROLL THE PETALS OUT,

WHICH MAKES THE EDGE CURL.

‐AND THEN YOU SAID
AT THE JOINTS?
‐YEP.

‐MM‐HMM.
‐THEN WE USE GUM GLUE,

WHICH IS LIKE AN EDIBLE GLUE

THAT GETS THE PETALS
TO STICK TO THE CENTER.

AND THEN WRAP IT
ALL THE WAY AROUND.

‐OKAY.
‐YEAH.

Buddy: AND THEN YOU BRING
THE PETALS UP ONE BY ONE.

THERE WE GO.

THEY'RE INTERLOCKING,
LIKE A ROSE PETAL DOES.

AND YOU JUST KEEP ADDING PETALS
AROUND THE CENTER

UNTIL YOU GET A BEAUTIFUL ROSE.

A LOT OF WORK FOR ONE FLOWER,
BUT LOOK HOW PRETTY THEY ARE.

AND THEN YOU
CAN EAT IT, TOO.
IT'S SUGAR.

SO, I GET EVERYBODY
IN THE BAKERY MAKING FLOWERS,

EVEN MAURO, WHO'S REALLY BUSY
DOING OTHER STUFF.

BUT I STILL GOT A BIG PROBLEM.

I MEAN, THERE ARE
A LOT OF FLOWERS

ON THIS CAKE
WE NEVER MADE BEFORE,

SO I MAKE A CALL
TO AN OLD FRIEND.

HEY, BETTY!

Buddy: SO, FOR THIS
PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW CAKE,

THEY WANT IT TO BE PARIS‐THEMED,

SO I GOT MY SCULPTORS MAKING
SOME LANDMARKS.

WE GOT THE EIFFEL TOWER.

WE GOT THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE
AND NOTRE DAME.

BUT THIS CAKE IS ALL ABOUT
THE SUGAR FLOWERS,

SO I BROUGHT IN AN OLD FRIEND
TO HELP US OUT.

HEY, BETTY!
‐HEY, BUDDY!

‐HOW ARE YOU?
‐I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

OH, MY GOD.
‐HOW'S EVERYTHING?

IT'S GOOD ‐‐
BUSY, BUT GOOD.

THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN.

I APPRECIATE IT.
COME OVER HERE.

Buddy:
SO, MY GOOD FRIEND BETTY'S HERE.

A LONG TIME AGO,
SHE TOOK ME UNDER HER WING

AND SHOWED ME HOW TO MAKE
SOME SUGAR FLOWERS.

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

‐OH, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
‐[ LAUGHS ]

SHE'S IN INCREDIBLE ARTIST.

AND ALL THE FLOWERS
SHE CAN MAKE?

FORGET ABOUT IT.

SO, WE'RE STARTING WITH PEONIES,

WHICH ARE THE HARDEST FLOWER
TO MAKE

BECAUSE THEY HAVE
SO MANY PETALS.

ALWAYS GO TOWARD THE PLANT.
YOU NEVER GO THAT WAY.

TURN IT OVER.

EACH PETAL HAS TO BE
EXACTLY RIGHT,

OR THEY WON'T FIT TOGETHER.

‐OKAY, YOU GUYS.
‐WHAT IS THAT?

THIS IS A REJECT.

Buddy: WHEN I WAS LEARNING,
BETTY TAUGHT ME.

SHE HAD A RULER, AND SHE WOULD
WHIP MY HANDS WITH IT.

OH, BOY, THAT IS BAD.

HIT THEM WITH THE BALL TOOL,
BETTY.

HIT THEM
WITH THE BALL TOOL.

THEY LOOK GOOD.

MAURO, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
LIVE TO SEE THE DAY

WHEN I WOULD FIND YOU DOING
LITTLE BITTY FLOWER PETALS.

BETTY, YOU KNOW HE'S HAVING
A HERNIA OPERATION NEXT WEEK,
RIGHT?

‐YES.
‐ME AND FRANKIE ‐‐
WE'RE THE ASSISTANT SURGEONS.

HE MIGHT LOSE A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN JUST THE HERNIA.

‐"SCALPEL!"
‐ALL MY GUYS THINK THIS HERNIA

IS A REALLY BIG JOKE,
BUT IT REALLY HURTS.

I MEAN, I GOT TO HAVE SURGERY.

[ LAUGHTER ]

WE GOT A BIG CAKE HERE.
WATCH YOUR BACK.

EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO
LIFT ANYTHING THIS WEEK,

WE'RE MAKING THIS REALLY BIG
TAX CAKE, AND WHAT CAN I SAY?

IT'S HEAVY.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

MY WIFE ‐‐ SHE THINKS
THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL

I KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT EASY.

SHE'S RIGHT.

LISTEN ‐‐
NOW PUT YOUR STRIPS.

I'M GONNA WRAP IT
RIGHT UNDER.

LET'S DO IT.

THIS CAKE IS FOR
A BUNCH OF ACCOUNTANTS

WHO ARE WORKING HARD
DURING TAX SEASON.

SO, TO MAKE THIS DESK,
WE'RE DIRTY‐ICING,

LAYERING ON FONDANT,
PUTTING GREEN INTO THE DESK,

AND THEN PAINTING ON
CHOCOLATE FOOD COLORING

TO MAKE IT ALL LOOK LIKE WOOD.

GIVE ME ANOTHER LITTLE THING OF
THIS WITH SOME GRAIN ALCOHOL.

[ SINGS INDISTINCTLY ]

I GOT RALPH WORKING
ON THE TAX MAN.

I MADE SURE IT FALLS
NICE AND STRAIGHT.

HE'S MAKING THE DETAILS
OUT OF MODELING CHOCOLATE ‐‐

THE CUFFS AND THE COLLAR.

I'M THINKING WE DO
THE SLEEVES FIRST.

THEN HE'S LAYERING ON
DARK BLUE FONDANT

FOR THE SUIT JACKET.

OKAY, JUST LIKE LAST TIME,
ONLY DIFFERENT.

BLUE REALLY DOES SCREAM,
"I'M STRESSED OUT ABOUT TAXES."

‐WELL, HE'S ALMOST DONE.
‐MM‐HMM.

WOW, HE LOOKS GOOD, RALPH.

THANKS.

I GUESS THAT'S IT.
I GUESS HE'S DONE.

YEAH.

THE THING ABOUT DOING A CAKE
IN TWO PARTS

IS EVERYBODY'S GOT TO COORDINATE
SO EVERYTHING MATCHES UP.

‐CURIOSITY ‐‐ CAN I
SEE SOMETHING?
‐YEAH.

I GOT 23 1/4".

OKAY, WHAT DO YOU GOT
FROM THE BOTTOM?

I GOT 29".
‐6"?

HOW COULD IT BE OFF
THAT MUCH?

HE'S GOT TO BE UP 6"?

6"?

HE DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE
CAKE, THE BANANA BREATH.

HOW COULD IT BE OFF
THAT MUCH?

HERE ‐‐ YOU MEASURE.

YOU KNOW WHY?
I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW WHY.

HEY, LOOK.

WHEN THE BACCALà COUNTED,
HE DIDN'T COUNT ‐‐

I GUARANTEE YOU
THIS IS GOOD HERE. WATCH.

LOOK. LOOK.

HE DIDN'T ACCOUNT
FOR THE CAKE,

THE BANANA BREATH.
‐RALPH DID IT.

SO, WE'RE MAKING A HUGE TAX CAKE

FOR MY BUDDY MICHAEL.

AND THE PROBLEM IS, RALPH ‐‐

HE MADE THE ACCOUNTANT
THE WRONG HEIGHT

TO MEASURE UP AGAINST THE DESK,

AND NOW MY ACCOUNTANT'S
TOO SHORT.

LET'S GET TO DRILLING.
YOU GOT A LITTLE PIECE
OF 2‐BY?

SO WE DECIDE TO RAISE
THE TAX MAN UP A FEW INCHES

BY WEDGING A 2x4 UNDER THE BASE.

HE'S GOOD.
‐ALL RIGHT. SO THEN WE'RE GOOD.

THAT'S FINE.
‐I MEAN, BY THE HAIR
OF MY CHINNY CHIN CHIN, BUT...

OKAY, YOU READY, BUDDY?
TELL ME WHEN.

Buddy: SLIDE IT ON AN ANGLE.
WE'RE GONNA LOSE THE ANGLE.

‐IT'S GOOD. IT'S GOOD.
‐IT'S GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

Buddy: I'VE GOT MY SCULPTORS
WORKING ON ALL THE ACCESSORIES

THAT ARE GONNA SIT ON TOP
OF THE DESK.

THIS IS HOW
YOU MAKE GARBAGE.

HAVE YOU SEEN
MY GARBAGE?

YEAH.
IT LOOKS LIKE TRASH.

THEY MADE A LAPTOP,
A PHONE,

AN ADDING MACHINE, AND RALPH'S
MAKING SOME PIZZA SLICES.

GOT TO DRY UP A LITTLE BIT.

THE OTHER BIG CAKE
I GOT GOING ON THIS WEEK

IS THE MONSTER FOR
THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW.

WE'RE KEEPING THE DESIGN
REALLY SIMPLE

BECAUSE THE CAKE IS ALL
ABOUT THE SUGAR FLOWERS.

THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

MY GOOD FRIEND BETTY USED TO
COME TO THE BAKERY AND HELP US

WITH CERTAIN PROJECTS.

SHE'S A SUGAR‐FLOWER EXPERT.

Betty: ACTUALLY, I SHOULD
BE USING TWEEZERS

'CAUSE I CAN'T GET MY
FINGER DOWN IN THERE.

AND THIS WEEK
SHE'S SHOWING US

HOW TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF
FLOWERS WE NEVER MADE BEFORE,

LIKE DAFFODILS.

SEE IF YOU LIKE THIS.

THEN THE RUFFLE BETTER.

Mauro: OH, THAT'S A PEG?
YOU DIRTY RAT, YOU.

[ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]

THAT'S HOW THEY GOT IT ‐‐
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

Betty: I TAUGHT THEM A FEW
FLOWERS THAT THEY WEREN'T DOING.

AND THEY'RE VERY QUICK.

THEY LEARN EASILY.

AND LOOK WHAT THEY CAME UP WITH.

THE PLACE LIKE A FLOWER SHOP.

Buddy:
I DON'T FEEL GOOD, CUZ.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHEN I STAND UP TOO MUCH,

IT FEELS
LIKE IT'S POPPING.

Buddy:
WE'RE READY TO START PUTTING
THE FLOWERS ON THIS CAKE,

AND MY HERNIA ACTS UP.

I MEAN,
I'VE BEEN ON MY FEET ALL WEEK.

AND NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

CAN YOU TAKE SOMETHING?
I'VE BEEN.

I'VE BEEN TAKING STUFF.

WELL, JUST SIT FOR A WHILE
DOING NOTHING.

YOU KNOW?

THERE'S TOO MUCH.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
A COUPLE OF WEEKS OFF.

I'M IN PAIN, CUZ.
I GOT TO GO HOME.

YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
HAVE TO FINISH.

PUTS A COUPLE ARRANGEMENTS IN,
AND NEXT THING I KNOW,

HE'S, YOU KNOW,
MOVING AROUND IN AGONY.

ALL RIGHT, GO. GO.
GO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

MAKE SURE
IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL.

I TRUST YOU GUYS,
ALL RIGHT?

Buddy: I HATE LEAVING
BEFORE A CAKE IS DONE,

BUT MY HERNIA
IS REALLY HURTING ME.

I JUST HOPE MY GUYS CAN FINISH
THIS UP AND MAKE ME PROUD.

Buddy:
MY HERNIA IS KILLING ME,

SO IT IS UP TO MAURO AND FRANKIE

TO GET THIS CAKE TO
THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW.

GOOD THING HE ONLY
HAS ONE HERNIA.

I KNOW SOMEBODY
THAT HAD A DOUBLE.

‐YOU CAN HAVE A DOUBLE HERNIA?
‐I GUESS.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
WAS POSSIBLE, EITHER.

HE GOES, "I HAVE A DOUBLE."

Frankie: IT'S KIND OF FUNNY,
WATCHING MAURO.

HE REMINDS ME A LOT LIKE BUDDY,

YOU KNOW, SITTING THERE,
LOOKING,

THE WAY HE PLACES
THE FLOWERS ON THE CAKE.

AFTER ALL, HE DID WORK
WITH BUDDY ALL THESE YEARS.

BUDDY RUBBED OFF ON HIM, SO ‐‐
IN A GOOD WAY.

I AM KIND OF THE UTILITY GUY.

I FILL THE CAKES,
DIRTY‐ICE THEM.

THIS IS ACTUALLY KIND OF
A DIFFERENT TWIST FOR ME

TO KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BE THERE,

PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES
ON THE CAKE.

LIKE THAT?
YEAH, COOL.

CAKE'S COMING BEAUTIFUL.

CAME GOOD.

YEAH, IT LOOKS REALLY COOL
WITH ALL THESE LIGHTS.

I LIKE THE WAY THAT
ARC DE TRIOMPHE CAME.

IT LOOKS REALLY COOL...

REALLY, REALLY, COOL.

THE COLORS ‐‐ THEY JUST POP
RIGHT OFF THAT CAKE.

NO, IT'S NICE.

THAT EIFFEL TOWER'S
ON THE MONEY.

IT IS.

Buddy: SO, MAURO SENDS ME A
PICTURE OF THE FINISHED CAKE,

AND IT LOOKS GREAT.

MY GUYS REALLY HAD
MY BACK ON THAT.

BUT IF I GOT TO BE OUT OF HERE
FOR A WEEK OR TWO

WITH THIS SURGERY,
I DON'T KNOW.

THINGS ARE GONNA BE TOUGH.

YOU GOT IT, DANNY?
YOU GOT THE BACK?

I GOT IT.
OKAY.

OKAY, GO OUT.

LOOK HOW NICE IT LOOKS
WITH THE LIGHTS ON.

‐NICE JOB.
‐HASTA LA VISTA, BABY!

Buddy: OKAY, START
HANDING ME THE STUFF.

Buddy:
THE NEXT MORNING, MY HERNIA
ISN'T BOTHERING ME SO MUCH,

BUT MY WIFE, LISA,
DOESN'T WANT ME TO GO TO WORK

OR LIFT ANYTHING HEAVY BEFORE
MY SURGERY NEXT WEEK,

BUT I GOT TO GO DELIVER
THIS TAX CAKE.

IT'S GOOD.

SO, WE HAVE THE LAPTOP.
WHAT ELSE?

AND THEN JUST WHATEVER ELSE
IS HERE.

THAT'S THE ONLY OTHER
BIG ITEM.

‐DUDE, THIS LOOKS GOOD, MAN.
‐LOOK AT THAT GUY!

‐[ LAUGHS ]
‐I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.

I THINK...
‐IT CAME OUT AWESOME.

Buddy:
...HE LOOKS AWESOME.

I THINK THE PROPORTION
OF THE DESK IS RIGHT.

THEY GOT LOTS OF CAKE
ON HERE.

I MEAN, JUST EVERYTHING
ABOUT IT IS AWESOME ‐‐

YOU KNOW, THE CHINESE FOOD,
THE PIZZA.

I LIKE ALL THE STUFF
UP ON TOP.

I MEAN, IT TOTALLY MAKES THE
CAKE, TOTALLY MAKES THE CAKE.

YOU KNOW
WHAT ELSE IS NICE?

THE PENCIL IN HIS HAND ‐‐
THAT'S A NICE TOUCH.

I KNOW MICHAEL'S GONNA
LOVE IT.

THEY'RE GONNA FLIP
WHEN THEY SEE THIS.
I CAN'T WAIT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET IT
OUT OF HERE.

PUSH. WATCH THE CART.
WATCH THE CART.

YOU KNOW, I GOT A HERNIA.

I'M REALLY SUPPOSED
TO LIFT ANYTHING,

BUT I'VE DONE IT SO FAR.

YOU KNOW, WHAT'S ONE MORE CAKE?
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

WATCH THE HEAD.

Buddy: OKAY, NOW
GO LOW, KENNY.

OKAY, NICE AND EASY.

Buddy: NOW, MAURIZIO'S
SUPPOSED TO HAVE

THE BULK OF THE WEIGHT SINCE
HE'S YOUNG AND STRONG.

OKAY, YOU GOT TO GET
TO THE SIDE.

‐START TURNING.
‐TURN.

MAURIZIO,
GO TO THE SIDE!

NEXT THING YOU KNOW,
I'M HOLDING THE WHOLE CAKE!

YOU GOT TO GO TO THE SIDE!
‐I'M GOING!

YOU GOT TO GET IT
OUT OF THE WAY!

I'M TRYING!

YOU GOT TO GO
TO THE SIDE!

AND I GET A SHARP,
SHARP PAIN.

ALL RIGHT.

I SWEAR TO GOD.

WE GET THE CAKE IN THE TRUCK,

AND I TAKE A DEEP BREATH
TO SETTLE DOWN,

BUT I DEFINITELY HAVE TO DO MORE

OF WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS
AND TAKE IT EASY.

SO, WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS CAKE

OVER TO MICHAEL'S OFFICE
IN THE CITY.

HE WANTS TO SURPRISE
HIS WHOLE CREW.

I MEAN, THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN
WORKING LATE NIGHTS

DURING TAX SEASON.

SO, ME DELIVERING THIS CAKE ‐‐
IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.

IT'S GONNA BE LIKE, "AHH,

TAX RELIEF."

HEY, HOW YOU GUYS DOING?

[ LAUGHTER ]

HOW ARE YOU?

OH, MY GOSH!

SO, WE BRING THE CAKE IN,

AND YOU COULD TELL THESE GUYS
WERE SURPRISED.

I MEAN, THEY TOTALLY LOVED IT.

SOME OF THOSE GUYS LOOKED LIKE
THE GUY IN THE CAKE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT
OF YOU GUYS, HUH?

‐YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY.
[ LAUGHTER ]

UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES
LOOK LIKE SOME OF US.

THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

‐THAT IS AWESOME.
‐THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

BEYOND ANYBODY'S EXPECTATIONS.

THANK YOU!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

SO, WHO WANTS TO EAT
SOME OF THIS CAKE?

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

ALL RIGHT.

Michael:
THIS IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.

THIS IS A PIECE OF WORK.
THIS IS A PIECE OF ART.

THE DETAIL OF THE PERSON
IS FASCINATING.

I MEAN, JUST ‐‐ IT LOOKS REAL.

I MEAN, I THINK THE THING
IS UNBELIEVABLE,

AND LET'S BE HONEST ‐‐
THE SIZE IS FASCINATING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT BUDDY
WAS ABLE TO DO.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, I JUST
WANTED TO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
THANK YOU.

‐THANK YOU!
[ APPLAUSE ]

IT'S GOOD, MAN.

THIS IS GOOD.

MMM.

I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
IN A LONG TIME, BETTY.

AT THE END OF THE WEEK,
ME AND MY WIFE, LISA,

HAVE BETTY OVER FOR DINNER
BECAUSE WE WANTED TO SHOW HER

HOW MUCH WE REALLY APPRECIATE
HER HELPING US

WITH THIS
PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW CAKE,

AND SHE NEVER MET BABY CARLO.

Betty:
HE'S GOOD AT NIGHT?

SO FAR, SO GOOD, BETTY.

HE'S GOT THE LIFE.

HE GETS FED.

HE GETS BURPED.

HE'S STARTING TO GET
A LOT BIGGER.

AND I'VE DECIDED THAT FROM NOW

UNTIL I GET MY HERNIA SURGERY,

CARLO IS THE HEAVIEST THING

I'M GONNA BE LIFTING.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

TO BABY CARLO ‐‐ SALUD.

THANK YOU.
IT'S JUST A TREAT.
