1
00:00:08,959 --> 00:00:10,825
Hey.
2
00:00:10,886 --> 00:00:12,511
How do I look?
3
00:00:12,662 --> 00:00:16,406
Devastatingly beautiful,
as usual, honey.
4
00:00:16,508 --> 00:00:18,183
That's sweet.
Uh, now try it
5
00:00:18,352 --> 00:00:20,093
while you're
actually looking at me.
6
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:23,247
Oh.
Wow, look at you.
7
00:00:23,307 --> 00:00:25,932
What, are you hiking down
to Whole Foods?
8
00:00:26,085 --> 00:00:28,176
Have you forgotten
why we bought all this stuff?
9
00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:30,087
It's for our trip to Peru.
10
00:00:30,105 --> 00:00:31,196
Right.
11
00:00:31,348 --> 00:00:32,531
You know,
I'm running out of time.
12
00:00:32,724 --> 00:00:35,016
I don't think
I can get there today.
13
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:38,370
-We are gonna go,
I promise, I promise.
-Eh, no, no.
14
00:00:38,563 --> 00:00:40,688
You keep saying that
and we keep not going.
15
00:00:40,750 --> 00:00:42,690
Don't you remember during
the pandemic, we talked about
16
00:00:42,752 --> 00:00:45,452
all the things we were gonna do
as soon as it was possible?
17
00:00:45,604 --> 00:00:47,771
I thought we were talking
about touching our faces.
18
00:00:47,831 --> 00:00:50,532
All right, you know what,
rather than joke,
19
00:00:50,551 --> 00:00:52,534
if you don't want to go,
why don't you just tell me.
20
00:00:52,595 --> 00:00:54,945
I want to go, honey.
We're gonna do that,
21
00:00:54,963 --> 00:00:58,282
but this pandemic has changed
the sales landscape at work,
22
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:01,209
and I'm doing my best
to rebalance it.
23
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:04,288
Yeah, but does
the sales landscape have
24
00:01:04,389 --> 00:01:06,456
misty mountaintops
25
00:01:06,475 --> 00:01:09,234
and breathtaking Inca ruins?
26
00:01:09,427 --> 00:01:10,811
Hmm?
27
00:01:11,596 --> 00:01:13,388
Do you know
why the Inca had ruins?
28
00:01:13,491 --> 00:01:17,651
'Cause they never rebalanced
their sales landscape.
29
00:01:18,395 --> 00:01:20,228
You know what,
I am getting the feeling
30
00:01:20,289 --> 00:01:21,988
that we are never gonna go.
31
00:01:22,141 --> 00:01:23,657
My dream is disappearing,
32
00:01:23,809 --> 00:01:26,585
-like the morning mist
over Cuzco.
-Honey...
33
00:01:26,736 --> 00:01:28,754
Honey, honey,
we're going to go, I promise.
34
00:01:28,947 --> 00:01:31,239
I'm looking forward to it,
just like you.
35
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:32,999
But just because
the pandemic is over
36
00:01:33,152 --> 00:01:35,836
doesn't mean I don't have to
deal with the fallout at work.
37
00:01:35,988 --> 00:01:38,305
Well, just promise me you're
not gonna be one of those guys
38
00:01:38,432 --> 00:01:40,415
-who dies at the office.
-Oh, come on.
39
00:01:40,476 --> 00:01:42,342
Why do you say stuff like that?
40
00:01:42,436 --> 00:01:44,937
I exercise, eat right.
My life couldn't be happier.
41
00:01:45,130 --> 00:01:46,179
I've got every si...
42
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:48,690
(imitates flatline)
43
00:01:49,944 --> 00:01:52,152
♪ ♪
44
00:01:56,492 --> 00:01:58,692
All right, what happens when
a car gets out of alignment?
45
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:01,194
Uh, loose steering control,
uneven wear on your tire treads,
46
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:03,288
lower gas mileage.
47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,016
Hi, I'm Mike Baxter's daughter.
48
00:02:06,076 --> 00:02:07,534
MIKE: Thank you, Kris.
49
00:02:07,686 --> 00:02:10,129
And you're right.
The car runs inefficiently.
50
00:02:10,322 --> 00:02:11,964
Just like our store.
51
00:02:12,115 --> 00:02:14,282
Sometimes it needs
to be realigned.
52
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:17,469
When I'm out of alignment,
I visit Katerina.
53
00:02:17,662 --> 00:02:20,288
Please tell me
she's your chiropractor.
54
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:21,640
Yes, and my astrologer,
too, yeah.
55
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:24,868
Doesn't have a license
for either, but...
56
00:02:24,887 --> 00:02:28,647
They say time is money,
but in our case, space is money.
57
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,892
Ooh. Uh, even outer space?
58
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:34,319
No.
59
00:02:34,488 --> 00:02:38,139
Listen, Chuck saves us a lot
of money in security equipment
60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,849
using just
this square footage he has
61
00:02:39,869 --> 00:02:42,219
in this tiny office
here in the bullpen.
62
00:02:42,321 --> 00:02:43,904
I know where this is headed.
63
00:02:43,998 --> 00:02:45,238
I'm gonna get a door.
64
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:47,666
(chuckles)
No, you're not.
65
00:02:47,859 --> 00:02:51,061
Listen, you take up
just as much space as you need.
66
00:02:51,121 --> 00:02:52,504
You're very efficient.
67
00:02:52,656 --> 00:02:53,897
You're perfect.
68
00:02:53,957 --> 00:02:56,491
I'd rather have a door.
69
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,251
Wouldn't we all
rather have a door, huh?
70
00:02:58,345 --> 00:03:01,680
'Cause presently we're averaging
about $270 per square foot
71
00:03:01,831 --> 00:03:04,090
-here at the store.
-Well, if you think about it,
72
00:03:04,226 --> 00:03:06,243
a ski boot is really
a square foot.
73
00:03:06,261 --> 00:03:09,837
-Right? The flat part,
right at the toe, you put in...
-Kyle, focus.
74
00:03:09,857 --> 00:03:11,523
What Mike is trying to say:
parts of the store
75
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:14,084
that are earning
more than $270 per square foot
76
00:03:14,102 --> 00:03:15,343
will get more space.
77
00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:17,587
The parts that are not
will be reduced.
78
00:03:17,606 --> 00:03:19,756
From where I sit, the bike
department is killing it.
79
00:03:19,816 --> 00:03:22,517
Yeah, uh, the Grill's right
across from it, and I agree.
80
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:24,352
That's a good example.
During the pandemic,
81
00:03:24,413 --> 00:03:26,205
we sold a lot of bikes--
very successful department.
82
00:03:26,398 --> 00:03:28,356
Yeah, I mean,
people love exercising outdoors.
83
00:03:28,459 --> 00:03:30,434
I look at it this way:
they just like riding away
84
00:03:30,494 --> 00:03:32,436
from their families
during the pandemic.
85
00:03:32,496 --> 00:03:35,455
I guess I should be glad
my space is literally too small
86
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:37,031
to be downsized.
87
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:39,092
Do you actually need the chair?
88
00:03:45,384 --> 00:03:47,634
Are you sure
you want to do this?
89
00:03:47,786 --> 00:03:49,228
Yes. Look at it.
90
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:51,638
I don't know how I ended up
with so many clothes.
91
00:03:51,732 --> 00:03:52,898
I do.
92
00:03:53,091 --> 00:03:55,234
We traded our money for them.
93
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:58,570
Kyle texted "911 emergency."
94
00:03:58,763 --> 00:04:01,147
It's an emergency.
The worst kind.
95
00:04:01,242 --> 00:04:03,967
A fashion emergency.
96
00:04:04,027 --> 00:04:05,410
So that's why Vanessa laughed
97
00:04:05,603 --> 00:04:08,062
when I told her
to call the cops.
98
00:04:08,082 --> 00:04:09,489
No, the closet.
99
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:11,399
I'm getting rid
of anything that I don't need.
100
00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:13,735
And she wants you to help her.
101
00:04:13,796 --> 00:04:15,161
Oh, no, I can't.
102
00:04:15,256 --> 00:04:18,114
I'm too busy... not wanting to.
103
00:04:18,116 --> 00:04:19,666
No, Jen, Jen, Jen.
104
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,334
No, come on, you're
the perfect person to do this.
105
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:23,653
You're-you're organized,
you hate clutter,
106
00:04:23,714 --> 00:04:25,931
and you're brutal.
107
00:04:26,124 --> 00:04:27,933
(chuckles):
Okay.
108
00:04:28,084 --> 00:04:29,584
Let me be brutal.
109
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:31,770
You're incapable of letting
any of your clothes go.
110
00:04:31,921 --> 00:04:35,181
Whatever I pull out,
you're just gonna put back in.
111
00:04:35,334 --> 00:04:36,500
No, I won't.
I promise.
112
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,426
Yeah, and when Mandy
makes a promise,
113
00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:41,113
she gets pretty darned close
to keeping it.
114
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,190
(scoffs)
Okay.
115
00:04:44,343 --> 00:04:46,267
But if I do this,
we do it my way.
116
00:04:46,328 --> 00:04:48,845
I'll need three hours
uninterrupted,
117
00:04:48,905 --> 00:04:52,682
one large box, packing tape,
and all my decisions are final.
118
00:04:52,743 --> 00:04:54,126
Okay, and then what
about the shelves in...
119
00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:56,019
No questions.
120
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:57,687
Great.
Okay, thank you.
121
00:04:57,789 --> 00:04:59,798
All right, come on, Mandy.
No, no, no, no, no.
122
00:04:59,949 --> 00:05:02,718
-Come on, babe,
they've never loved you back.
-(grunting)
123
00:05:07,424 --> 00:05:09,866
Still hard at it, huh?
124
00:05:09,885 --> 00:05:11,217
Yeah.
125
00:05:11,312 --> 00:05:13,537
I think I figured out
what I need to do.
126
00:05:13,597 --> 00:05:16,723
Oh. Then why are you still
going through all these files?
127
00:05:16,875 --> 00:05:20,393
Well, the answer is, um,
actually quite painful.
128
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:22,487
Well, I mean, if it helps,
129
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:25,657
it'll mean
we can finally go to Peru.
130
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:27,233
And you better pack light,
131
00:05:27,328 --> 00:05:29,828
because Peru is not Chile.
132
00:05:30,021 --> 00:05:32,372
(chuckling)
133
00:05:34,192 --> 00:05:36,242
You're laughing at my pun?
134
00:05:36,395 --> 00:05:38,670
It must be really painful.
135
00:05:40,732 --> 00:05:42,341
No matter how many ways
I look at it,
136
00:05:42,534 --> 00:05:44,918
I still come up
with the same answer.
137
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:47,346
We're gonna
have to shut the Grill down.
138
00:05:47,539 --> 00:05:49,739
No.
(clicks tongue)
139
00:05:49,758 --> 00:05:51,091
Kris has...
140
00:05:51,185 --> 00:05:53,910
given so many years
to that restaurant.
141
00:05:53,929 --> 00:05:56,355
Well, a lot of restaurants
suffered during the pandemic,
142
00:05:56,548 --> 00:05:58,915
and the Grill is no exception.
143
00:05:58,975 --> 00:06:00,675
Isn't there another option?
Can't you just trim
144
00:06:00,694 --> 00:06:02,936
from a-from
a different department?
145
00:06:03,088 --> 00:06:04,421
Could do that.
146
00:06:04,481 --> 00:06:06,514
We could eliminate, uh,
like, say, footwear.
147
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:09,701
"Hey, Mr. Johnson,
we no longer sell hiking boots,
148
00:06:09,853 --> 00:06:11,778
"but you could strap an...
an ostrich filet to your foot
149
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:14,114
-with a piece of kale
around it."
-All right.
150
00:06:14,208 --> 00:06:17,024
Okay, all right, I guess not.
151
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:18,952
Oh, honey,
152
00:06:19,104 --> 00:06:22,047
-Kris is gonna be devastated,
just devastated.
-No kidding.
153
00:06:22,198 --> 00:06:24,958
Only way to fix things at work
is to break my daughter's heart.
154
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,385
Mm.
155
00:06:26,578 --> 00:06:30,180
Hey, maybe we could
go to Peru right now.
156
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:32,540
Screw Peru.
157
00:06:32,601 --> 00:06:35,018
Just beer me.
158
00:06:40,258 --> 00:06:41,641
MIKE:
All right,
159
00:06:41,793 --> 00:06:43,068
when Kris gets here,
let me do the talking,
160
00:06:43,261 --> 00:06:45,070
-all right?
-Yeah, yeah. She's worked
161
00:06:45,263 --> 00:06:46,554
so hard for this place,
162
00:06:46,615 --> 00:06:49,074
-it's breaking my heart.
-Yeah.
163
00:06:49,267 --> 00:06:51,225
She's like
a granddaughter to me.
164
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:53,620
Well, I'm sorry
I'm doing this to you.
165
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:56,322
You've seen the analytics.
166
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:57,749
The numbers
speak for themselves.
167
00:06:57,901 --> 00:06:59,492
Yeah, but there must be
something we can do.
168
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:01,494
Look, for example,
what if a generous,
169
00:07:01,588 --> 00:07:03,922
handsome, unnamed patron
were to purchase
170
00:07:04,115 --> 00:07:07,592
a thousand bison chops
from the Grill?
171
00:07:07,785 --> 00:07:10,654
Hey, then we could
start our own restaurant.
172
00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:13,765
-Hey, doll. Come on in.
-Oh!
-Hi, gentlemen.
173
00:07:13,958 --> 00:07:15,325
Take a seat.
174
00:07:15,385 --> 00:07:17,510
Doesn't she look beautiful!
Look at that.
175
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:19,420
Ed, Ed, Ed.
Hold it together.
176
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:21,923
Uh, okay, l-listen, so, I've...
177
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:23,942
-been going over the numbers,
-Yeah.
178
00:07:24,135 --> 00:07:26,278
and I think I found a solid way
179
00:07:26,471 --> 00:07:29,022
to rebalance
the store's financials.
180
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:30,523
Well, that's great news.
181
00:07:30,676 --> 00:07:32,175
Yeah, well,
how are you gonna do that?
182
00:07:32,235 --> 00:07:33,952
We have to close the Grill.
183
00:07:34,145 --> 00:07:35,102
You see?
I knew it.
184
00:07:35,164 --> 00:07:36,270
What?
185
00:07:36,331 --> 00:07:38,123
W-Wait.
Am I the only one here
186
00:07:38,316 --> 00:07:40,684
that's concerned
for your feelings?
187
00:07:40,785 --> 00:07:44,187
Our revenue per square foot
has dropped 63%
188
00:07:44,247 --> 00:07:46,113
since the pandemic, and...
189
00:07:46,175 --> 00:07:48,525
as much as I want it to,
Dad, uh,
190
00:07:48,585 --> 00:07:51,544
I don't see any sign
of a rebound, so...
191
00:07:51,697 --> 00:07:53,379
That's exactly
what you came up with.
192
00:07:53,474 --> 00:07:56,808
I thought this
would devastate you.
193
00:07:57,001 --> 00:07:58,292
(laughing)
194
00:07:58,353 --> 00:08:01,387
No.
I'm not devastated.
195
00:08:01,482 --> 00:08:03,982
Oh, now, that's...
that's a huge relief.
196
00:08:04,175 --> 00:08:07,410
I'm completely destroyed.
197
00:08:08,563 --> 00:08:10,730
But, uh, it's what's best
for the business.
198
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,158
The numbers--
they speak for themselves.
199
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:15,160
They-they do.
Listen, I know this is hard,
200
00:08:15,329 --> 00:08:16,978
it really is hard, and...
201
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:19,647
and, uh, don't worry about,
uh, letting your staff go.
202
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:21,241
I'll-I'll handle that.
203
00:08:21,393 --> 00:08:24,728
Yeah, your dad is very good
at letting people go.
204
00:08:24,788 --> 00:08:26,338
You know,
Bob in the art department,
205
00:08:26,531 --> 00:08:27,989
he just asked me out for lunch.
206
00:08:28,008 --> 00:08:31,510
I paid, you know,
because I-I just fired him.
207
00:08:32,571 --> 00:08:34,328
Well, I appreciate
the offer, Dad,
208
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:35,905
but this is my staff.
209
00:08:35,966 --> 00:08:40,001
I hired them, and I'll be
the one to let them go.
210
00:08:40,062 --> 00:08:41,578
I'm proud of you, Kris.
211
00:08:41,638 --> 00:08:44,264
Good.
You can take me out to dinner.
212
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:46,483
You'll have to pay.
213
00:08:54,484 --> 00:08:57,685
Oh, my God!
Jen, this is amazing.
214
00:08:57,704 --> 00:09:01,188
You could get a job
cleaning up crime scenes.
215
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:04,951
Ooh!
Or organizing closets.
216
00:09:05,103 --> 00:09:06,436
It was a lot of work.
217
00:09:06,496 --> 00:09:08,621
Oh, and I found a book report
218
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:11,365
on The Great Gatsby.
219
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,719
Aw, man, that's where that was.
220
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:17,964
I arranged by color,
and within each color,
221
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:20,225
I broke it down by season.
222
00:09:20,418 --> 00:09:22,452
Well, these are all
my favorite clothes.
223
00:09:22,512 --> 00:09:24,788
There is not one thing in here
that I don't love.
224
00:09:24,848 --> 00:09:29,550
Oh, look. Seven-year-old Mandy
was only five foot, six.
225
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:31,403
That was a tough year for me.
226
00:09:31,596 --> 00:09:34,406
I was taller than my teacher.
227
00:09:35,058 --> 00:09:36,390
So...
228
00:09:36,493 --> 00:09:38,618
this is everything
you're getting rid of?
229
00:09:39,746 --> 00:09:40,987
Yep.
230
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:42,747
Uh, so, what's in there,
exactly?
231
00:09:42,940 --> 00:09:45,083
Doesn't matter.
The fact that you don't know
232
00:09:45,276 --> 00:09:47,644
means that you won't miss it.
233
00:09:47,704 --> 00:09:49,254
That's really smart.
234
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:50,922
Shall we take a look?
235
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:54,241
Uh, no. No, no.
That was the agreement.
236
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:55,318
You're right.
You're right.
237
00:09:55,337 --> 00:09:56,669
Jen makes the final decision.
238
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:59,264
I will not look in the box.
Thank you, Jen.
239
00:09:59,457 --> 00:10:01,600
You're welcome. And the fact
that you didn't notice
240
00:10:01,793 --> 00:10:05,178
this necklace,
and I don't work for free,
241
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:08,023
thank you.
242
00:10:13,989 --> 00:10:15,188
There you are.
243
00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:16,840
-Hey, I've been looking for you.
-Listen,
244
00:10:16,858 --> 00:10:19,266
if you're all hopped up
on liquor and want to fight,
245
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:20,935
-I'm good at this.
-(chuckles)
246
00:10:20,996 --> 00:10:23,346
No. Uh, I think
you can hire my staff
247
00:10:23,406 --> 00:10:25,698
in other parts of the store.
248
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,608
I'm all ears.
249
00:10:27,628 --> 00:10:29,461
Okay, well, uh, Isabella,
she has a great personality.
250
00:10:29,654 --> 00:10:32,872
She would be a natural
in customer relations.
251
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,132
Steve is an avid cyclist,
252
00:10:34,325 --> 00:10:35,859
he'd be perfect
in the bike department.
253
00:10:35,877 --> 00:10:37,451
I mean, I... Look.
I've typed them all out.
254
00:10:37,554 --> 00:10:38,803
All right.
255
00:10:40,256 --> 00:10:42,532
Well, you put a lot of work
into this.
256
00:10:42,592 --> 00:10:46,311
Uh, well, yeah. I guess once
I was forced to fire my staff,
257
00:10:46,504 --> 00:10:48,554
I realized
they weren't just my staff.
258
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,056
They were my people.
259
00:10:50,192 --> 00:10:52,466
And I can't let my people down.
260
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:55,728
When did you become such
a compassionate businesswoman?
261
00:10:55,881 --> 00:10:59,340
(chuckles softly)
Hi, I'm Mike Baxter's daughter.
262
00:11:00,051 --> 00:11:03,161
Well, listen, you're gonna have
to go to HR and discuss this.
263
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:04,663
Already did.
I spent all morning
264
00:11:04,856 --> 00:11:06,572
going over the lateral hires
with Kyle.
265
00:11:06,667 --> 00:11:08,725
It turns out
I actually saved the company
266
00:11:08,743 --> 00:11:11,077
quite a bit of dough
on recruitment costs.
267
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:12,837
I love the sound of that.
268
00:11:12,989 --> 00:11:16,749
We close the Grill,
but we don't lose any employees.
269
00:11:16,902 --> 00:11:18,418
Mm, not quite.
270
00:11:18,512 --> 00:11:21,070
Couldn't find a position
for the manager. (chuckles)
271
00:11:21,089 --> 00:11:22,422
You.
272
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:24,999
There's no restaurant
for me to manage.
273
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,685
I'll be okay.
274
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:32,023
Thank goodness your husband
sells drugs for a living.
275
00:11:33,193 --> 00:11:35,652
Thanks for everything, Dad.
276
00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:49,949
Oh, hey, Jen.
Is that a new dress?
277
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:52,961
No. It's one of Mandy's
old sweaters.
278
00:11:53,997 --> 00:11:55,922
My closet's full of them.
279
00:11:57,426 --> 00:11:59,959
-That smells fantastic.
What is it?
-Yeah.
280
00:12:00,111 --> 00:12:01,611
It is braised short rib.
281
00:12:01,629 --> 00:12:04,797
I only make it when
Mike's feeling, you know, down.
282
00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:07,642
Like when he missed something
he shot at.
283
00:12:09,253 --> 00:12:12,046
He's more sensitive
than people think.
284
00:12:12,065 --> 00:12:13,547
Now that you mention it,
285
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:16,568
I don't think
I've ever seen Mr. Baxter sad.
286
00:12:16,719 --> 00:12:18,311
I've only seen him annoyed
287
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:20,630
-and shamelessly
pleased with himself.
-I know.
288
00:12:20,648 --> 00:12:21,889
Yeah.
289
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,408
What does he have
to be sad about?
290
00:12:23,601 --> 00:12:26,152
Well, this thing with Kristin
and the Grill closing.
291
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:28,913
He was so proud
when she took over
292
00:12:29,065 --> 00:12:32,733
and made it successful,
and now he's just devastated.
293
00:12:32,753 --> 00:12:35,420
-Mm.
-Hey, guys.
294
00:12:35,613 --> 00:12:39,090
What's going on
on this beautiful night, huh?
295
00:12:39,242 --> 00:12:40,500
What?
296
00:12:40,594 --> 00:12:43,261
Every day,
something new to confuse me.
297
00:12:43,454 --> 00:12:45,579
VANESSA:
No, I-I don't understand.
298
00:12:45,599 --> 00:12:47,657
You were devastated when
I talked to you on the phone,
299
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:49,250
and that was only
half an hour ago.
300
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,511
That was then.
This is now.
301
00:12:51,605 --> 00:12:54,330
Changed my mind
when I was driving down I-70,
302
00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:55,999
saw that big
Outdoor Man billboard
303
00:12:56,059 --> 00:12:57,683
with my smiling face on it.
304
00:12:57,836 --> 00:13:00,895
So, seeing a picture of yourself
made you feel better?
305
00:13:01,556 --> 00:13:03,339
Generally,
I drive by that billboard,
306
00:13:03,358 --> 00:13:04,857
-same one,
I get kind of bummed out.
-VANESSA: Mm-hmm.
307
00:13:04,993 --> 00:13:07,786
'Cause I wonder when I retire,
what's gonna happen?
308
00:13:07,979 --> 00:13:09,454
I mean, who can fill
309
00:13:09,605 --> 00:13:12,940
those rather attractive
European rock climbing shoes?
310
00:13:13,001 --> 00:13:14,441
Tonight, it was different.
311
00:13:14,503 --> 00:13:16,185
I drove by there, I got an idea.
312
00:13:16,246 --> 00:13:17,611
When I pack it in,
313
00:13:17,631 --> 00:13:21,132
Outdoor Man
can be run by Kristin.
314
00:13:21,325 --> 00:13:24,618
Kris. (chuckles)
Of course.
315
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,472
-Of c... Wow. I...
Yeah, I love that idea.
-She's got
316
00:13:27,665 --> 00:13:29,123
-great business instincts.
-VANESSA: Yeah.
317
00:13:29,226 --> 00:13:31,050
Great.
She's the one that told me
318
00:13:31,202 --> 00:13:32,552
the Grill
should be closed, right?
319
00:13:32,687 --> 00:13:34,203
-She's great with her staff.
-VANESSA: Mm-hmm.
320
00:13:34,222 --> 00:13:35,388
You know what else
she did today?
321
00:13:35,540 --> 00:13:36,889
Tell me.
I want to know what my baby did.
322
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:38,465
What, what, what?
323
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,543
She relocated her entire staff
into the store.
324
00:13:40,603 --> 00:13:42,562
She's got
great management skills.
325
00:13:42,714 --> 00:13:44,063
-She's got a big heart.
-VANESSA: Yeah,
326
00:13:44,215 --> 00:13:45,490
she really does.
327
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:48,309
Oh, you know,
I-I want to find that potholder
328
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:50,495
she made me in third grade.
329
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,056
I love this.
330
00:13:53,157 --> 00:13:55,983
-Outdoor Man
is gonna be run by a woman.
-VANESSA: Mm.
331
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:59,504
Just like that,
you turn it political.
332
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:02,081
Well, this is so incredible.
333
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:03,566
-MIKE: Yeah.
-(chuckles): Yeah.
334
00:14:03,585 --> 00:14:04,917
Uh, but-but there is
only one problem.
335
00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:06,402
-Um...
-What's the problem?
336
00:14:06,462 --> 00:14:07,679
What are we gonna do
with the short rib?
337
00:14:07,872 --> 00:14:09,514
I only ever make it
when you're sad.
338
00:14:09,707 --> 00:14:13,184
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
O-Okay, okay, um...
339
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:16,079
Do I have to share it with Jen?
340
00:14:16,139 --> 00:14:17,021
Of course.
341
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,357
Then I'm very sad.
342
00:14:41,164 --> 00:14:42,881
What are you doing?
343
00:14:43,074 --> 00:14:44,123
Shh, I'm sleepwalking.
344
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:46,718
It's dangerous to wake me up.
345
00:14:48,613 --> 00:14:50,221
You were gonna
look inside the box.
346
00:14:50,373 --> 00:14:52,465
I got to know what's in there.
Kyle, it's driving me crazy.
347
00:14:52,617 --> 00:14:53,950
What if there's
something in there
348
00:14:53,968 --> 00:14:56,477
that I want to wear
six years from now?
349
00:14:57,138 --> 00:14:58,638
All right.
350
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:01,290
If I tell you what's in there,
will you drop it?
351
00:15:01,351 --> 00:15:02,567
How could you know
what's in there?
352
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,885
Because I know
what's not in the closet.
353
00:15:04,988 --> 00:15:06,887
The blue romper
354
00:15:06,948 --> 00:15:08,314
that you were wearing
355
00:15:08,466 --> 00:15:12,301
the-the time that pigeon
landed on your foot.
356
00:15:12,303 --> 00:15:14,654
The, uh, striped sweater
you had on
357
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:18,157
when we ran out of gas in Aspen
and had to push the car.
358
00:15:18,309 --> 00:15:19,492
(Mandy chuckles)
359
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:21,235
The Christmas dress
you were wearing
360
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:22,921
when I told you
that Rudolph joke
361
00:15:23,114 --> 00:15:24,480
and you laughed so hard
362
00:15:24,499 --> 00:15:26,591
that eggnog
just shot out of your nose.
363
00:15:28,452 --> 00:15:30,911
The dress you were wearing
to your cousin's wedding.
364
00:15:30,972 --> 00:15:32,321
You didn't outshine her,
365
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:35,324
but, boy, did you come close.
366
00:15:35,385 --> 00:15:36,659
(chuckles softly)
367
00:15:36,719 --> 00:15:38,085
Should I keep going?
368
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:40,104
You remember all my outfits?
369
00:15:40,297 --> 00:15:42,106
Of course I do.
370
00:15:42,258 --> 00:15:45,610
Everything you've ever worn
is tied to some great memory.
371
00:15:45,761 --> 00:15:49,113
That's the sweetest thing
anyone's ever said to me.
372
00:15:49,265 --> 00:15:50,840
It's true.
373
00:15:51,642 --> 00:15:54,035
And these clothes
aren't going anywhere!
374
00:15:54,979 --> 00:15:56,120
Our life is in this box.
375
00:15:56,313 --> 00:15:57,789
All right, how about this?
376
00:15:57,940 --> 00:15:59,273
You keep all these clothes,
377
00:15:59,334 --> 00:16:01,459
and I get rid of all of mine.
378
00:16:01,610 --> 00:16:04,854
You know what?
No.
379
00:16:04,914 --> 00:16:06,355
It's okay.
380
00:16:06,374 --> 00:16:08,466
The memories
are what's important.
381
00:16:08,659 --> 00:16:12,028
We can let all of these clothes
go. I don't need them.
382
00:16:12,088 --> 00:16:14,180
I have you.
383
00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:20,520
And you can buy me more clothes.
384
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:26,818
Can you say that again so I know
that I heard you right?
385
00:16:27,678 --> 00:16:31,305
I think, Kris,
you're the perfect candidate
386
00:16:31,366 --> 00:16:35,142
to take over Outdoor Man
when I retire.
387
00:16:35,203 --> 00:16:36,810
(laughs):
Holy cow.
388
00:16:36,871 --> 00:16:39,664
I never thought I would hear you
say the word "retire."
389
00:16:39,857 --> 00:16:43,334
That's like hearing you say,
"Go, Raiders."
390
00:16:43,527 --> 00:16:48,131
Oh, take the knife
out of my back.
391
00:16:49,384 --> 00:16:50,842
Ed and I talked about it,
392
00:16:50,993 --> 00:16:52,343
and we both think
you have the right instincts
393
00:16:52,536 --> 00:16:55,829
to become the future CEO.
394
00:16:55,890 --> 00:16:57,181
CEO?
395
00:16:57,374 --> 00:16:59,666
-Future CEO.
-(laughs)
396
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:01,853
-Is this an elaborate prank?
-No.
397
00:17:02,046 --> 00:17:04,597
Like-like that time that you,
uh, convinced Kyle
398
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:07,692
that you were the purple ostrich
from The Masked Singer?
399
00:17:07,843 --> 00:17:09,268
I almost had him.
I almost had him.
400
00:17:09,362 --> 00:17:11,937
But no, this is real.
And I know it's a lot.
401
00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:13,756
I know it's serious.
I want you to think about it.
402
00:17:13,816 --> 00:17:17,109
Go home, talk to Ryan about it
and get back to me, okay?
403
00:17:17,262 --> 00:17:18,594
It's an amazing offer, Dad.
404
00:17:18,654 --> 00:17:21,355
I... I don't need time
to think about it.
405
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,783
I didn't think you would.
406
00:17:23,918 --> 00:17:25,101
My answer is no.
407
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,452
Yeah.
408
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:29,547
"No" like,
"There's no way I can say no"?
409
00:17:30,407 --> 00:17:33,534
No.
As in "no."
410
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:35,945
Why would you turn down
this big opportunity?
411
00:17:35,963 --> 00:17:38,222
It's-it's financial security.
You get to be your own boss.
412
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:41,617
-You-you get your own door.
-(chuckles)
413
00:17:41,677 --> 00:17:44,136
Yeah.
Because I know you.
414
00:17:44,289 --> 00:17:46,138
Y-You will never
leave this place.
415
00:17:46,291 --> 00:17:47,673
What are you talking about?
You know,
416
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:49,383
I've always said
I was gonna retire someday.
417
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:52,628
Yeah, I-I don't think you could
ever let this place go.
418
00:17:52,647 --> 00:17:55,556
Who in their right mind would
stay at Outdoor Man forever?
419
00:17:55,617 --> 00:17:58,317
Hey.
I'm making nachos in the office.
420
00:17:58,411 --> 00:18:01,120
Anyone want to chip and dip?
(chuckles)
421
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:03,806
Not now, Ed.
422
00:18:03,866 --> 00:18:05,566
All right.
423
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:07,960
But don't come crying to me
after they're all gone, huh?
424
00:18:10,781 --> 00:18:12,665
I said who in their right mind.
425
00:18:13,426 --> 00:18:16,502
Listen, you are Outdoor Man.
426
00:18:16,654 --> 00:18:19,338
Your whole identity
is wrapped up in this business.
427
00:18:19,432 --> 00:18:20,914
You really think
you can ever let that go?
428
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,175
It may come news to you,
but I have aspirations
429
00:18:23,269 --> 00:18:27,012
outside of this
very aromatic office.
430
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:29,756
You serious about this, Dad?
431
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,334
Your mom and I
have a whole second act planned.
432
00:18:31,394 --> 00:18:33,277
And I-I'm excited
to spend time with her,
433
00:18:33,429 --> 00:18:35,354
so don't mess this up.
434
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:38,357
And when does this second act
begin? (chuckles)
435
00:18:38,493 --> 00:18:40,284
As soon as you're ready
to step up and take over.
436
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,620
Uh, and how long will that take?
437
00:18:42,771 --> 00:18:44,029
A year?
438
00:18:44,124 --> 00:18:45,514
A year to teach you
everything I know
439
00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:46,699
about running the business?
(scoffs)
440
00:18:46,851 --> 00:18:48,184
-Fat chance of that. (chuckles)
-Mm.
441
00:18:48,286 --> 00:18:50,777
So, two years?
442
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,131
(straining)
443
00:18:55,418 --> 00:18:56,968
Yeah.
444
00:18:57,786 --> 00:18:59,804
-Okay.
-Okay.
445
00:18:59,997 --> 00:19:01,722
I want it in writing.
446
00:19:02,458 --> 00:19:03,457
(chuckles)
447
00:19:03,518 --> 00:19:05,368
I just said I was gonna retire.
448
00:19:05,428 --> 00:19:07,127
Yeah, yeah.
That's nice.
449
00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:08,704
But I want it in the contract
450
00:19:08,764 --> 00:19:12,633
that you will retire
in two years.
451
00:19:12,694 --> 00:19:14,393
Okay.
452
00:19:14,545 --> 00:19:16,320
And I want it to say that
if you don't leave in two years,
453
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:19,899
I will get
a big penalty payment.
454
00:19:20,051 --> 00:19:21,659
How big?
455
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:25,888
Hmm, that's something my, uh,
lawyer will have to figure out.
456
00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:27,390
Your lawyer?
457
00:19:27,491 --> 00:19:29,725
Boy, you turned into
a real pain in the ass.
458
00:19:29,785 --> 00:19:33,245
No. No, no, no. I'm just...
I'm Kristin Baxter,
459
00:19:33,339 --> 00:19:35,581
-future CEO.
-Future CEO.
460
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:37,341
(Kristin chuckles)
461
00:19:37,534 --> 00:19:40,403
-Is this thing
happening or what, huh?
-(Kristin sighs)
462
00:19:40,463 --> 00:19:42,329
Yes. Yeah.
Uh...
463
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,665
I will not let you guys down.
464
00:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,851
Outdoor Man
will be in great hands.
465
00:19:47,002 --> 00:19:50,079
-(chuckles)
-Ah. All right.
You're a pro, Kris.
466
00:19:50,139 --> 00:19:51,096
You're a pro.
Come on.
467
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:53,691
(shrieks, laughing)
468
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,485
(vocalizing)
469
00:19:57,855 --> 00:19:59,530
(Ed laughing)
470
00:19:59,723 --> 00:20:01,032
You know, sometimes,
471
00:20:01,225 --> 00:20:02,867
I still see her
as a little girl,
472
00:20:03,018 --> 00:20:04,351
you know, all grown up.
473
00:20:04,412 --> 00:20:06,429
Just keep it together, Mike.
474
00:20:06,489 --> 00:20:09,040
Try it with a smile.
Come on.
475
00:20:20,411 --> 00:20:22,035
Hey, Mike Baxter
for Outdoor Man.
476
00:20:22,096 --> 00:20:23,370
You know,
they say being a parent
477
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:24,947
is the toughest job
in the world.
478
00:20:24,966 --> 00:20:27,541
That's only because "they"
never operated
479
00:20:27,602 --> 00:20:30,469
a horizontal jackhammer
in a coal mine. (chuckles)
480
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:32,304
Once you've had
a giant pneumatic drill
481
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,123
banging against your chest
all day,
482
00:20:34,183 --> 00:20:36,292
I'll bet
changing a stinky diaper's
483
00:20:36,352 --> 00:20:37,626
actually pretty fun.
484
00:20:37,645 --> 00:20:39,295
-(baby crying)
-No, being a parent
485
00:20:39,355 --> 00:20:40,404
isn't the toughest job
in the world,
486
00:20:40,597 --> 00:20:42,389
but it is the most important.
487
00:20:42,492 --> 00:20:45,726
And every child will give you
at least one moment
488
00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:47,561
where you feel like you've
completely blown it, right?
489
00:20:47,622 --> 00:20:50,639
They fail a math test
or a driver's test
490
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:52,808
or a pregnancy test.
491
00:20:52,827 --> 00:20:54,401
(groans)
492
00:20:54,462 --> 00:20:56,570
And you think
you've failed, too, right?
493
00:20:56,631 --> 00:20:59,090
But then,
if you've done your job right,
494
00:20:59,241 --> 00:21:00,407
your kid will show you
495
00:21:00,468 --> 00:21:02,001
a resilience
you never knew they had.
496
00:21:02,153 --> 00:21:04,745
As parents, we get up every day
and work hard
497
00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:06,489
so we can take care of our kids,
498
00:21:06,549 --> 00:21:08,507
but there's
no more gratifying feeling
499
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:10,751
than realizing
we've done a good job.
500
00:21:10,770 --> 00:21:13,086
Good enough that they
can take care of themselves.
501
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:16,515
Because, let's face it,
once they can do that,
502
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:19,593
we know they can take care
of us, too.
503
00:21:19,654 --> 00:21:22,613
And I, for one, plan on being
every bit as demanding
504
00:21:22,765 --> 00:21:24,949
as my kids were
when they were with me.
505
00:21:25,142 --> 00:21:26,509
Maybe I'll get a little bell.
506
00:21:26,527 --> 00:21:28,286
-(bell ringing)
-"I want soup.
507
00:21:28,479 --> 00:21:30,288
"Not that stuff in a can.
508
00:21:30,439 --> 00:21:32,698
That weird stuff in a box."
509
00:21:32,792 --> 00:21:34,625
Baxter out. Huh?
