WHAT THE HELL DID YOU TAKE ME ON?!

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

THE FERRIS WHEEL WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT ON THE CAKE.

SOME PEOPLE AROUND HERE ARE SCARED.

YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF THE FERRIS WHEEL, ARE YOU?

YEAH. LOOK HOW HIGH THAT THING IS.

NOW, CAN WE MAKE THAT THING TURN?

WE COULD DEFINITELY MAKE IT MOVE.

YOU DON'T MAKE IT SPIN, YOU GOT TO GO ON THE FERRIS WHEEL.

Joey: THIS CAKE IS GONNA BE THE STORY OF ROB'S LIFE.

IT INCLUDES ALL THE IMPORTANT EVENTS

THAT MOLDED HIM INTO A YOUNG MAN.

I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM.

HE'S THE FIRST ONE AND HE'S ALWAYS DONE WELL IN SCHOOL.

THERE'S NOT ONE PICTURE OF US ON THIS CAKE.

EVERY FAMILY MEMBER SHOULD BE ON THIS.

YOU GOT TO WATCH THE CROWD. WE GOT A BIG CAKE.

COME ON. KEEP IT COMING. KEEP IT COMING.

All: THREE...TWO...ONE. GO!

Buddy: WE'RE HERE AT THE MEADOWLANDS STATE FAIR

FOR THEIR 25th ANNIVERSARY.

AND THEY WANT US TO CREATE A GREAT CAKE

FOR A BIG CELEBRATION.

HEY. HOW YOU DOING? BUDDY. HOW ARE YOU?

I'M BUDDY. NICE TO MEET YOU.

PLEASURE TO MEET YOU.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A CAKE, BUDDY. OKAY.

AND I BRING YOU TO THE FERRIS WHEEL

'CAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THE FOCAL POINT OF THE FAIR.

OH, MAN, I LOVE THE FERRIS WHEEL.

SOME PEOPLE AROUND HERE ARE SCARED.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY WHO.

YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF THE FERRIS WHEEL, ARE YOU?

LOOK HOW HIGH THAT THING IS.

Mauro: SINCE I'M A LITTLE KID, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SCARED OF HEIGHTS.

I'M JUST NOT COMFORTABLE WITH LOOKING DOWN

AND SEEING PEOPLE THIS BIG.

THE FAIR'S BEEN GOING ON FOR HOW LONG NOW?

IT'S THE 25th ANNIVERSARY.

25 YEARS.

YOU KNOW THAT I USED TO COME TO THIS FAIR

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID WITH MY DAD?

REALLY?

OH, WE LOVED IT. IT'S A GREAT FAMILY FAIR.

I MEAN, SO CONVENIENT, AND WE LOVE COMING HERE.

SO WHAT ARE YOU THINKING TO DO, AL?

YEAH, SO, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE WANT A BIG CAKE.

WE WANT TO DO IT JERSEY STYLE.

JERSEY STYLE, OF COURSE.

ALL THE STUFF THAT'S AT THE FAIR,

ALL THE FREE SHOWS AND THE ANIMAL ACTS

AND THE GAMES AND, YOU KNOW, ALL THAT, ALL THE PRIZES.

THE FOCAL POINT OF THE FAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WHEEL.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.

I THINK THE FERRIS WHEEL WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT ON THE CAKE.

THAT'LL BE GREAT. YEAH.

NOW, CAN WE MAKE THAT THING MOVE?

CAN IT TURN?

WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE IT MOVE.

ALL YOU NEED IS A CHAIN, A MOTOR, OR SOMETHING.

WELL, MAURO, WE'RE IN TRANSITION RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW -- WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT.

YOU'RE GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.

I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT.

I THINK WE CAN MAKE IT MOVE.

Mauro: FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND

WHEN YOU SAY "FERRIS WHEEL,"

I SEE THIS BIG, TALL, ROUND THING, SPINNING.

THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY MIND.

SO HOW COULD YOU HAVE A FERRIS WHEEL WITHOUT IT SPINNING?

I CAN MAKE SURE THAT IT MOVES.

I'D LOVE TO HAVE IT MOVE.

HE SAYS HE'S GONNA DO IT.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S ON YOU. DON'T ASK ME.

YOU MAKE SURE THE WHEEL MOVES.

GOOD DEAL. THANKS, GUYS.

ALL RIGHT.

Buddy: FOR THIS CAKE, IT'S GONNA BE BIG.

IT'S GONNA HAVE ALL THE FUN AND GAMES THAT YOU WOULD FIND

IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK.

A MERRY-GO-ROUND, PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAMES,

EATING FOOD,

BUT THE MAIN FEATURE WILL BE WHAT EVERYONE SEES

WHEN THEY GO TO A FAIR -- A GIANT FERRIS WHEEL.

AND IF MAURO COMES THROUGH, THIS WHEEL, SHE'S A-GONNA SPIN.

WE'RE MAKING THIS CAKE AT THE NEW CAKE FACTORY,

AND I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MAKING IT HERE

BECAUSE WE GOT SO MUCH MORE ROOM TO MAKE CAKES HERE

THAN AT CARLO'S BAKERY.

TO MAKE THIS CAKE,

WE'RE USING A TON OF CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA SPONGE CAKES

AND FILLING THEM WITH FUDGE AND BUTTERCREAM.

THE BIGGEST CAKE I EVER FILLED, RIGHT HERE.

I GOT CARRIE, OUR NEW DECORATOR,

MAKING THE SEATS FOR THE FERRIS WHEEL

OUT OF RICE KRISPIE TREATS.

RALPH AND JUAN ARE MAKING ALL THE PEOPLE,

AND RACHEL'S MAKING A MERRY-GO-ROUND.

HEY, MAURO. WHAT'S UP?

YOU TOLD THAT GUY YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THE FERRIS WHEEL SPIN.

YEAH, WE'RE CAN MAKE IT SPIN. I ALREADY THOUGHT OF SOMETHING. OH, YEAH?

SO YOU'RE GONNA HANDLE IT? I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT I'M FIGHTING WITH THIS GUY

GETTING THIS DONE, GETTING THIS DONE.

BELIEVE ME.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IT'S GONNA SPIN.

AND WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT SPIN?

THEN I GOT TO GO BACK AND TELL THIS GUY

THAT MY BROTHER-IN-LAW DIDN'T MAKE IT SPIN?

NO. I'M GONNA TAKE THE RAP FOR IT, THEN.

I GUARANTEE YOU, BY THE END, IT WILL SPIN.

OKAY. IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT SPIN,

YOU GOT TO GO ON THE FERRIS WHEEL.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE THE FERRIS WHEEL. I DON'T.

I FEEL SO COMFORTABLE KNOWING THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO

GO ON THAT FERRIS WHEEL THAT YOU'LL DO WHATEVER

YOU HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THAT CAKE SPIN.

SO, YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA SPIN.

WELL, IF IT DOESN'T,

YOU'RE GOING ON THE FERRIS WHEEL.

I WILL MAKE IT SPIN. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. BET.

I'LL MAKE IT SPIN. DEAL.

Joey: SO, I FOUND OUT ROB GOT INTO SYRACUSE.

IT WAS HIS FIRST CHOICE, SO WE'RE REAL EXCITED.

SO I'M GONNA MAKE A REAL SPECIAL SYRACUSE-THEMED CAKE FOR HIM.

Joey: HOW ORANGE YOU WANT YOUR CAKE?

Rob: SYRACUSE ORANGE.

THAT'S, LIKE, A SPECIFIC ORANGE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW.

I'M SUPER PROUD OF ROB.

MY MASTER PLAN WAS TO KEEP TWO JOBS.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD PAY FOR COLLEGE

AND THE BAKERY WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT'S GETTING HARDER AND HARDER.

IT'S GETTING BIGGER HERE. IT'S GETTING BUSIER HERE.

I'M NEVER HOME NOW.

IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO RUN INTO BURNING BUILDINGS ANYMORE,

THEN DON'T RUN INTO BURNING BUILDINGS ANYMORE.

ARE YOU CLOSE TO A DECISION?

Joey: I'M FURTHER FROM A DECISION NOW THAN I WAS BEFORE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, I GOT TO DO WHAT PAYS THE BILLS,

NOT WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY.

REMEMBER, THAT'S WHAT LIFE'S ALL ABOUT.

YOU NOT ALWAYS GONNA DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

YOU GOT TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

YEAH, NOW YOU GOT TUITION BILLS TO PAY. YEAH.

SO, THIS CAKE IS GONNA BE THE STORY OF ROB'S LIFE,

SO I ASKED GRACE TO DIG OUT SOME PICTURES WAY BACK WHEN,

WHEN WE ALL FIRST STARTED OUT.

ALL THE WAY UP THE CAKE, IT'S ROB'S LIFE AND ALL THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

IT'S HIS GRANDPARENTS, HIS AUNTS, HIS UNCLES, HIS COUSINS.

SO, I HAD RALPH SCULPT HIM WRESTLING

BECAUSE THAT'S HIS THING.

AND ON TOP, WE'RE GONNA HAVE OTTO THE ORANGE,

THE MASCOT OF SYRACUSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS WHOLE THING IS?

BEING ABLE TO FINISH A CAKE AND PUT IT IN A REFRIGERATOR

WITHOUT THINKING OF WHERE YOU'RE GONNA PUT IT.

HEY, BEAUTIFUL. HI.

HI, LISA. WHAT'S UP?

YOU SNEAKY-SNEAKY, YOU.

MY 10-YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IS COMING UP

AND LAST WEEK, I PROPOSED TO LISA AGAIN.

WILL YOU MARRY US AGAIN?

OF COURSE! YES!

YES! YES!YES!

Buddy: WE'RE GONNA RENEW OUR VOWS AT A SECRET CELEBRATION.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE.

BUT MY WIFE, LISA, KEEPS TRYING TO DRAG IT OUT OF ME.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING FOR THIS SURPRISE?

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT AM I WEARING.

I CAN'T JUST GO TO THE STORE AND GET SOMETHING OFF THE RACK.

I WANT YOU TO BE SURPRISED.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT YOU GOT TO GIVE ME SOMETHING.

LIKE, WHAT AM I WEARING?

AM I WEARING SOMETHING BIG AND POUFY?

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

YOU GOT TO WEAR A WEDDING DRESS.

I ASKED YOU TO MARRY ME AGAIN. YOU GOT TO GET A WEDDING DRESS.

I CAN'T PICK.

OKAY, THERE'S POUFY WEDDING DRESSES,

THERE'S STRAIGHT WEDDING DRESSES,

THERE'S MERMAID WEDDING DRESSES, THERE'S --

AND YOU WOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL IN ANY OF THEM.

IF IT'S GONNA BE, LIKE, SIMPLE, QUIET,

ME, YOU, THE KIDS,

I'M GONNA GET LIKE A NICE, PLAIN, LONG,

YOU KNOW, NOTHING ON IT.

WELL, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE ME, YOU, AND THE KIDS.

DEFINITELY ME, YOU, AND THE KIDS.

OKAY, THAT'S NOT GONNA FLY WITH EVERYBODY.

LISTEN, I LOVE MY FAMILY AND WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER,

BUT THIS IS LIKE A SPECIAL MOMENT THAT I JUST WANTED US.

YEAH, WHEN I MARRIED YOU, I MARRIED THE WHOLE FAMIGLIA.

I'M PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN.

I WANT IT TO BE JUST ME, YOU, AND THE KIDS.

I DON'T GIVE A CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS.

Lisa: YOU'RE NOT EVEN GIVING ME NOTHING,

LIKE NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

SO, YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS BIG, GRAND WEDDING?

I DIDN'T SAY I WANT A BIG, GRAND WEDDING.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT IT'S GONNA TURN INTO WITH THE WHOLE FAMILY.

IS IT OUTSIDE? IS IT INSIDE?

WHATEVER DRESS YOU GET IS GONNA WORK,

WHETHER IT'S INSIDE, OUTSIDE.

WHY CAN'T HE JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION?

SURPRISE.

HE'S GOT TO JUST MAKE IT DIFFICULT.

JUST GIVE ME A KISS AND SHUT UP.

I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE. NO.

GIVE ME A KISS AND SHUT UP AND GET OUT OF HERE.

Mauro: IT'S A SURPRISE. THAT'S ENOUGH.

LOVE YOU, TOO.

MM-HMM.

Buddy: FOR THIS FERRIS WHEEL CAKE,

NOW IT'S TIME TO REALLY CONCENTRATE ON THE DETAILS.

AND LET ME TELL YOU,

IT'S GOT TO FEEL LIKE THE STATE FAIR.

WE GOT TO DO ALL KINDS OF CRAZY DETAILS TO REALLY LOOK GOOD.

THAT DETAIL WORK AIN'T EASY.

DANIELLE'S WORKING ON THE GAME BOOTHS.

AND FRANKIE'S ADDING ALL THE DETAILS TO THE CAROUSEL.

I GOT THIS.

THAT LOOKS SO PRETTY, THOUGH.

I DID A GOOD JOB, RIGHT, FRANKIE?

HEY, DREW.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

GOT A FERRIS WHEEL FOR YOU, BUDDY.

Mauro: SO, I TOLD BUDDY I WAS GONNA MAKE THE FERRIS WHEEL SPIN.

I MEAN, I REALLY TRIED, BUT I DIDN'T GET NOWHERE.

SO I CALLED DREW UP. HE'S OUR SPECIAL-EFFECTS GUY.

AND I TOLD HIM TO RIG SOMETHING UP

SO THAT THE FERRIS WHEEL WOULD SPIN WITH A MOTOR

AND MAKE IT GO AROUND.

THE ONLY THING IS WHAT SHOULD WE DO FIRST?

I GUESS THIS.

NOT THAT BUDDY NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

BEFORE WE PUT THE FERRIS WHEEL ON THE CAKE,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT SOME BRIGHTLY COLORED

MODELING CHOCOLATE.

IT LOOKS GOOD. IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

NOW I JUST HAVE TO TEST IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT SPINS.

AS LONG AS IT SPINS, I AM NOT GOING ON A FERRIS WHEEL.

I FEEL LIKE THIS ALMOST LIKE A FILM STRIP,

BUT LIKE A LIFE PATH.

SEEING WHERE HE'S GONE IN LIFE AND WHERE HE IS NOW.

Joey: THAT'S A LOT OF PICTURES.

ON ROB'S GRADUATION CAKE, WE'RE PUTTING PICTURES

FROM WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE KID

ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE YEARS TILL HE GRADUATES.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES.

THIS IS WHEN WE'RE AT THAT VINEYARD.

OH, THAT WAS NICE.

Joey: IT INCLUDES ALL THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE

AND ALL THE IMPORTANT EVENTS

THAT REALLY MOLDED HIM INTO A YOUNG MAN.

I HAD BETTER BE IN ONE OF THOSE PICTURES.

I USED TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.

THERE'S NO SISTERS.

I GUESS SHE FORGOT THAT WE BABYSAT HIM.

EVERY FAMILY MEMBER SHOULD BE ON THIS.

YOU GOT TO TAKE IT UP WITH GRACE.

THERE'S NOT ONE PICTURE OF US.

MADELINE. MADELINE COME HERE GODMOTHER.

THERE'S NOT ONE PICTURE OF US ON THIS CAKE.

LIKE, LOOK AT THE PICTURES.

YOU'RE THE GODMOTHER. WHERE ARE YOU?

BUDDY, DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS?

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PICKING OF THE PICTURES.

BUT DO YOU THINK IT'S WRONG?

THERE'S NOT ONE PICTURE.

LIKE, I PRACTICALLY BREASTFED HIM.

I COOKED MORE FOR HIM THAN FOR MY OWN KIDS.

HOW ABOUT ME?

I PRACTICALLY RAISED HIM.

OKAY! OKAY! OKAY! OKAY!

YOU HURT EVERYBODY'S FEELINGS.

[BLEEP] THERE'S ONE PICTURE FROM YOUR PARTY

WITH ALL THE COUSINS THAT YOU COULD HAVE PUT ON IT.

OH, MY GOD.

WILL YOU GIVE IT -- YOU'RE GIVING THE CAKE A HEADACHE!

Buddy: FOR THIS FERRIS-WHEEL CAKE,

MAURO'S IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE THAT THIS THING SPINS,

AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, HE BETTER MAKE IT SPIN.

BECAUSE ME AND HIM MADE A BET, AND IF HE DON'T MAKE IT SPIN,

HE'S GONNA GO ON THE BIG FERRIS WHEEL

AT THE STATE FAIR.

NOW, YOU GOT TO PUT THE POWER ON.

AND YOU GOT TO SLOWLY RAISE THIS.

OH, THERE SHE GOES.

TOLD YOU I'D MAKE IT SPIN.

YOU -- YOU -- WHAT DOES IT SAY ON THE BOX HERE?

"DREW." DREW MADE IT SPIN. NOT YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME

YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS.

I SAID, "I'LL MAKE IT SPIN."

I DIDN'T SAY I WAS PHYSICALLY GONNA DO ANYTHING.

THE BET WAS THAT I COULD MAKE THIS SPIN.

IS IT SPINNING?

YEAH -- YOU! NOT DREW!

Buddy: YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT SPIN, FIRST OF ALL.

Mauro: OH, MY GOD.

WHAT DOES IT SAY ON THE BOX HERE?

"DREW."

MAURO ADDED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO THIS FERRIS WHEEL

TO MAKE IT SPIN.

YOU GOT DREW TO DO IT.

YOU'RE BEING VERY TECHNICAL.

LISTEN. I MADE IT SPIN.

YOU DID NOT MAKE IT SPIN, ALL RIGHT?

DREW MADE IT SPIN. YOU LOST THE BET.

YOU'RE GOING ON THE FERRIS WHEEL.

HOW COULD YOU EVEN BE SCARED OF A FERRIS WHEEL, ANYWAY?

YOU SEE HOW HIGH THAT SUCKER IS?

THE THING IS GOING AROUND TWICE, IT'S STOPPING, I'M GETTING OFF.

ME AND YOU -- DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WE WANT YOU TO GET OVER YOUR FEAR.

Joey: SO, NOW I'M JUST PUTTING THE FINAL TOUCHES ON ROB'S CAKE.

I HAD GRACE DIG OUT SOME MORE PICTURES, YOU KNOW,

OF THE ONES THAT WE WERE KIND OF MISSING,

AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM.

TIME FLIES.

TIME FLIES.

YEP. HE'S A GOOD BOY. HE'LL DO WELL.

I REMEMBER THIS LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.

YEAH, GRANDMA GRACE AND MY BUDDY.

MY BUDDY.

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD IF HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE

TO SEE HIS FIRST GRANDCHILD GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL

AND TO GO TO COLLEGE.

HE'S THE FIRST ONE, AND HE'S ALWAYS DONE WELL IN SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW, AND HE'S A GOOD KID. STAYS OUT OF TROUBLE.

YOU REMEMBER HOW DADDY LOVED ROBERT? OH, YEAH.

HE WAS CRAZY FOR HIM. HE WAS.

HE USED TO COME DOWN HERE, AND DADDY USED TO WORK

AND HE USED TO HAVE HIM IN HIS LITTLE CHAIR AS A BABY,

WHILE HIM AND JOEY WORKED.

Buddy: IT REALLY LOOKS AWESOME, YOU KNOW?

THIS IS NICE. THIS IS A NICE CAKE.

REALLY, I REMEMBER WHEN HE WAS CARLO'S AGE,

AND TO THINK THAT HE'S GOING TO COLLEGE NOW

IS PRETTY -- PRETTY AMAZING.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF MY NEPHEW.

I MEAN, HE'S, YOU KNOW -- ALL THAT HE'S DONE,

AND HE'S GOING TO SYRACUSE,

AND I THINK ROBERT'S GONNA LOVE IT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT CAKE, AND I'M REALLY PROUD OF IT.

NOW LET'S GO ENJOY THE PARTY. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON. LET'S GET THIS CAKE OUT OF HERE.

[ MARCHING BAND PLAYS ]

SO, WE'RE HAVING ROB'S PARTY OVER AT JOEY AND GRACE'S.

AND THE WHOLE FAMIGLIA IS THERE.

ALL RIGHT!

Woman: WOW!

ROBERT!

LOOK, ROB.

THAT'S YOU.

WRESTLING.

AND LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES

OF ALL THE SPECIAL TIMES OF YOUR LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, ACTUALLY.

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

WE'RE MORE LIKE BEST FRIENDS SOMETIMES THAN FATHER AND SON.

YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABOVE AND BEYOND.

I COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER SON.

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, AND I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA

DO REALLY, REALLY BIG THINGS WHEN YOU GET OLDER.

AND THIS IS JUST THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR LIFE.

AND I KNOW YOU'LL DO WELL. I LOVE YOU.

Buddy: TO THE NEXT STEP!

YAY! I'M PROUD OF YOU.

[ APPLAUSE ]

MY DAD, HE'S BEEN, LIKE, HINTING THAT HE'S GONNA MISS ME AND STUFF.

IT'S GONNA BE HARD.

HE'S GONNA BE ONE OF THE HARDEST GOODBYES I HAVE TO SAY,

SO, LIKE, THAT CAKE WAS, I THINK,

HIS WAY OF NOT SAYING GOODBYE FOR GOOD,

BUT, LIKE, REMINDING EACH OTHER OF ALL THE GREAT MEMORIES

WE HAD SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN,

SO IT JUST REALLY MEANT A LOT TO ME

THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE A CAKE LIKE THAT.

THIS DAY WAS JUST PROLONGING THE INEVITABLE

OF BEING CRUSHED WHEN ROB LEAVES THE HOUSE.

EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

I LOVE MY SON. I SUPPORT EVERYTHING HE DOES.

THAT'S 'CAUSE GRACE TOOK MY SYRACUSE SHIRT. GO, ROB!

Woman: SAY "SYRACUSE."

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

Buddy: TODAY'S THE DAY.

WE GOT TO FINISH THIS FERRIS-WHEEL CAKE

FOR THE MEADOWLANDS STATE FAIR 25th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. SHE'S GORGEOUS.

NOW, I GOT TO SAY, THE MOVEMENT IS GREAT.

I LOVE THE CAROUSEL, THE GAMES.

IT'S GOT THE WHOLE FEEL OF THE STATE FAIR.

I THINK THE LIGHTS, WHEN IT GETS A LITTLE DARK,

Young woman: THIS IS SO GOOD.

LIFE DON'T GET BETTER THAN THAT.

YEAH!

WHOO!

[ CHILD SCREAMS ]

WHOO!
