- [Gloria] Paris. - [Greens] Woo-hoo!
-[Greens] Nicely done. Great job! -Guys!
I've barely startedthe presentation.
[Bill] Sorry, Gloria!
[clears throat] Paris.
City of love!
- City of hunchbacks. - Hey!
City of... cafés!
Hello. I'm Gloria Sato.
And ever since I moved to Big City,
I've had one big dream.
To open my own Parisian café.
Now, you're probably wondering,
what qualifies me to run a French café?
I was wondering that, yes.
Recently, I have worked many, many jobs.
But none have prepared me for this
more than working as the manager of Big Coffee.
I prepped orders, took care of the store,
and supervised employees!
Wow! You did all that?!
I have the passion, experience, and now opportunity
to make my dream finally come true.
Now I say to you, bankers of Big City,
Will you give me a loan so I can open my new café?
Now you can clap.
[applause and cheers]
Good luck! The bankers will see right through you!
Starting a business takes grit,
and you just don't have it!
Now, that's just not true!
I know Gloria can get that loan.
We're here for you, Gloria.
We'll help however we can!
Thanks, guys! I appreciate you saying that.
You have been like a second set of parents to me.
I won't let you down!
We know you won't!
All right!
It's time... for Gloria...
to achieve her dreams!
[hums]
[cries]
[moans]
- [crying in distance] - Hark!
Are those the moaning cries of a wounded animal?
Oh, it's just Gloria.
Gloria, what happened? Where's your loan?
Are you holding it? What is a loan?
No, Cricket, it... it didn't work out.
I won't be able to rent a café space.
My dream is officially dead!
Aw, don't worry about it, things come and go.
I'm sure you'll find another lifelong dream in no time!
I wasn't asking for much!
All I needed was an empty space
I could run a small coffee joint out of! [grunts]
[groans] Huh.
They must have forgotten to lock this place up
Wow! The ol' Big Coffee space...
Yeah. A lotta good memories here.
Man, all this place needs is a good cleaning,
maybe some chairs and tables...
could be good as new!
Cricket, that's it!
- Wait, what's it? - This is it!
This is my cafê! The location is great!
The customers wouldn't know if I was illegally renting the space or not
And we can work with the run-down look as a...
French Revolutionary theme.
With all the business we'll get, in a few days,
I could make enough money that I wouldn't even need a loan!
[laughs]
And best of all,
your mom and dad won't ever have to know
that I failed in the first place.
You guys in?
Teaming up to run a secret underground café?
Oh, we're in.
Guess it's time to open up!
We need to think of a way to bring customers in
without too many people noticing.
Leave that to us!
Grabbing people's attention is my whole thing!
And Tilly's great at keeping secrets.
Nobody's getting in without la phrase secréte!
All right then! Get out there, you little delinquents!
People of Big City!
Aren't you tired of the same old coffee?
Don't you want your bean juice experience to be more...
- exclusive? - I'd like that!
Then you're in luck, my thirsty friends!
Just follow my instructions,
and keep it hush-hush.
Huh. That little boy said to come back here...
- Halt! - [gasp]
Password, s'il vous plaît.
The purple dove flies at midnight.
You are free to enter, mes enfants!
Ooh! Culture.
- Need a refill? - Please!
Okay, this is the best café in Big City, Terry.
- Gloria! - Ahh!
Just running a lil perimeter check.
- How's it all goin'? - Pretty good, actually!
If we can keep this going for a few more days,
I think I'll be able to rent this place for real!
We just need to make sure nothing unexpected happens.
What's going on in here?!
- We heard noises! - Where's the squatters?!
Wait! What is all this?
Guys, it's okay!
This is... my café!
You got the loan!
You're open already?
Isn't it obvious?
The rustic atmosphere, the accordion music...
The front door that should be locked!
This doesn't look anything like the café in your presentation!
Why is everything so old and drabby?
Weren't you able to buy some new things with your loan?
Oh, no, it's exactly what I wanted!
Same as I said before!
You don't got the grit for this.
Now, don't listen to her.
Oh! I was gonna save this for when you were open,
but seeing as that's now...
- Where's he going? - [hammering]
Well, whaddya think?
[gasps] Oh, my gosh...!
It's so eye-catching!
Yup! Now everyone in Big City will know you're here!
Yes... That is true.
Hey, why don't you guys head inside
and I'll get you some menus?
No thanks. You call this a business?!
This whole operation will collapse in a day!
Mark my wor... [muffled]
What she means to say is,
we're so proud of you and you're doing great.
Nice work, big shot!
Thank you!
Cricket.
- Deal with the sign. - Affirmative.
[Officer Keys yawning]
Hour one of my shift and I'm already sleepy.
Huh? A new cafe?
A medium cup of joe would be perfect
for this tall drink of water!
[imitates car sounds]
All right!
You're coming with me, sign!
♪ Coffee, coffee For my tummy ♪
♪ Yum, yum, yum, yummy
Hatchia matchiee!
I'll have a "mac and roon."
[Cricket] Gloria! Gloria!
- We got a Code Keys! - "Code Keys"? [grunts]
Gloria!
I'm so sorry.
But the cool thing now for a cafe is to not have a sign!
Well, if you say so...
- [door rattles] - [Gloria and Cricket] Oh, no!
Huh. This place is locked.
And I could've sworn there was a sign here.
What a mystery.
A mystery too great for even Officer Keys!
Luckily, Detective Keys is on the case!
A-ha! A clue!
Time to follow up with this "Don and Dawn"...
Gloria, aren't you gonna let that customer in?
No, no, no, this is all a part of my theme!
The door chains rattling means its time for, uh...
Everyone to listen up!
Pay close attention as your participation is mandatory!
Now why'd you bring us down to
one of our empty buildings?
We're about to blow the lid off the biggest mystery
this town has ever seen!
Ugh! We got out of our jammies for this!
Open sesame! Wha?!
G-g-g-g-ghost café?!
Oh, my goodness!
This is embarrassing! You two were right.
A few spectral nuisances, but nothing out of the ordinary.
[Don and Dawn] Get us out of here!
Ha! You two got cuddly all of a sudden!
- [sniveling] - Hmm, there's still something off about that place.
Phew!
All right, everybody,
the interactive ghost experience is over!
Now I hope we all understand
what it must have felt like to be a ghost...
in the French Revolution...
I'm just gonna say it...
This is a strange way to run a café, right?
Yes! I can't help but feel like
Gloria just doesn't know what she's doing!
- Told ya. - [man] Boy, howdy!
I'd sure love a nice latte
before I hit up the cell phone store!
Say, fellas,
do you know where a hipster like me
could find one?
You see? This is what I mean!
We gotta help Gloria!
Well, my good hipster,
you've come to the right place.
Hey there, Gloria!
We found you a new customer!
Ugh! Guys!
Stop using the front door!
Gloria, we're getting a little concerned.
All of this secrecy...
How are customers supposed to discover your café?
It's fine! This is the way I wanna do things!
You. You wanted coffee, right?
- Oh! Yes! - It's nothing personal, shug!
We're just trying to give you
a little push in the right direction!
After all, you worked so hard to get that loan!
But I didn't get it.
What was that, Gloria?
I said... I didn't get the loan!
What're you talking about?
I tried to get approved for the loan, but I failed!
I was so worried about letting you...
no, letting myself down...
that I risked opening an illegal café
because I thought that maybe
if I succeeded at this one thing,
it would prove I'm not a total loss
Gloria...
Oh, shug...
Well, I'll be.
What a crazy situation!
And it was exactly what I wanted to hear!
Huh?
- [Nancy] Hmm? - [Bill] Um?
[all] Officer Keys?!
Yes! Undercover me!
I knew something was off about this ghost café...
But I wasn't quite sure what.
[Keys] We all know spirits love abandoned buildings.
And they love to drink coffee!
Everything seemed to be above board.
But that's when it hit me!
If there's one thing I know about ghosts...
It's that they love saying, "Boo!"
And not a single "Boo" was heard.
Not even a little one!
You would've gotten away with it, too, Gloria,
if it hadn't been for a meddling Keys!
And his partner Officer Cuffy.
Woof. The number of times I've parked on this street.
Thanks for being so cooperative, Gloria!
The profits from your illegal coffee stand
were just about enough to cover all the fines
for your trespassing!
Safe travels!
Well that could've gone a lot worse, right?
[all groan]
[Bill] I'll just drive now.
There you are! I got some words for you!
I can take a guess. You were right,
and I don't have what it takes.
Nice try, but you need to hear this!
Gramma!
You lied to all the people
who were tryin' to support ya,
and you ended up breaking the law!
You couldn't take no for an answer,
put everything you had on the line,
and took a huge, ridiculous risk!
- Kind reminds me of myself. - Sorry, what?
Well, I probably wouldn't have gone with the French theme.
Or broken the law, right, Ma?
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
The point is that I'm real impressed.
It takes a lot of passion and cleverness to run a business.
And you've proven you got the grit of a real Green.
Which is why I wanna make you an offer.
- "Offer"? - I got a bit of money squared away for my retirement,
and I'd like to use it to invest in your business!
Plus I can supply you with some free labor.
[Cricket] Heyyy!
Alice... I...
Well are ya just gonna stand there sobbin'
or are ya gonna make a deci... [muffled]
[Gloria] Thank you...
All right, no need to get mushy now.
Feels good to be doing things the right way.
And what a great way to help out Gloria.
"Help Gloria"? This ain't no charity!
You hear that, missy?
I expect to make all my money back and more!
Yes, ma'am!
Ahh, working with Gloria again.
You just don't mess with a proven formula.
Oh, hey, a new café! You must be Gloria Green!
No, it's Gloria plus Green.
My name isn't... Oh, forget it.
