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 BACCALÃ 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.
