- Yeah, I kind of like this younger crowd
that the speakeasy is bringing in.
A couple of them told me that I look like
Sabrina Carpenter's grandmother.
- These young people fill me with hope...
for people who own hat stores.
- Are all these people waiting to get into the speakeasy?
Wow.
Isabella must be thrilled.
- You'd think, but she's really stressed out.
She's worried if people have to wait too long,
they'll leave and never come back.
- Worried?
I've seen people that taste coffee for a living
less on edge.
- Thank you all so much for waiting.
It won't be much longer.
Wait, wait.
No, where are you going?
Get back here!
- Isabella, come here.
- No, but I have to stop them from getting away.
Takoda, Takoda, go get their license plate number.
- Oh, but last time, I almost got run over.
- We give you health insurance.
Go!
- Isabella, you can't force people to stay.
It's not like we're selling them timeshare condos.
- Yeah, I got stuck in one of those sales pitches once.
Luckily, I was on my way to a concert later,
so I was wearing adult diapers.
- I really want to hear about that later,
but right now, it's Isabella that's acting like a lunatic.
- I know. I know.
I should calm down.
Just because one group got tired of waiting
doesn't mean everyone will.
- Actually, several have left.
They're just the ones you saw.
- Is that helpful?
Let me answer that for you-- no.
- What am I going to do, Bobbie?
All of these people want to get in the club,
but I can't fit them.
- That's great news!
Waiting for something makes people want it more.
- Another situation where adult diapers come in handy.
Yeah.
- Is that helpful?
Let me answer it for you.
- No.
- Mm-hmm.
- I just wish there were a way
to keep people from leaving while they wait.
- Oh, another group is leaving.
- Block the door!
- From upstairs,
which means you can bring another group up.
- Oh. - Oh.
- Right.
- Ah. - Thanks. Yeah.

Please go up and enjoy the 1920s.
- That girl is going to give herself a conniption.
We gotta find a way to help her keep these people in here.
- How?
They want mocktails, not alcohol.
If this generation doesn't get drunk,
how are they gonna accidentally create the next generation?
- Do you still have that lemon seltzer water?
- Yeah.
- From now on, it's a citrus fizz.
- [gasps] Brilliant.
And I'll give all the mixers mocktail names,

Don't just dismiss me.

- Can you guys keep it down?
Sober people can hear everything.
- Can we talk about this at home?
- No, because then it'll be like it always is.
You'll be all reasonable,

And we'll hug, and nothing will ever actually get resolved.
