Well, I'll be ready now

Yeah

I'll be ready when

my train pulls in

I know my time ain't

long around...

Alright, pal. Here we are.

- Be nice to be home.

- Yep.

See your turtle, see your

mommy, back to your room.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

OK, but you'll stay

with me in two weeks.

- OK?

- Yeah.

- Whole weekend.

- Did you post the video yet?

- I didn't look at it yet. Sorry.

- Don't forget.

- I won't.

- I'll resend it.

OK.

Come on. Mommy misses you.

Go. Go to Mommy.

Mwah!

'Bye.

Oh, sh*t.

- Wait a second.

- Gonna make...

- Right, Dad?

- See you next week.

- Put that thing away.

- So I'm the nanny?

Here we go.

Hi.

- Look out.

- Oh!

- Empingao.

- Yeah!

- Park over there.

- Miami!

Come on, get in.

Arroz con pollo.

I think I missed the exit.

Beignets.

- Hey, Dad.

- Hi.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

What's up?

Listen, I was... I was thinking,

about what we were talking about.

Yeah?

And it's gotta be OK with Mom.

Let me just say that first.

What are you talking about?

I could really use your

help on the truck.

You there?

Yeah.

And it's only for the

weekends and after school

after you're done

with your homework,

and the money goes into

your college fund.

OK. Does that sound good?

That sounds pretty good.

Mom! Dad wants me to

cook on his truck!

No, really! He's on the phone.

Mom wants to talk to you.

I think it's yes. Hang on.

Order 16. 16.

- 16. 16, here.

- Thank you.

- 15.

- Order up. Order up. Next!

Mole, two Cubanos,

and order 21, slider.

- Thank you.

- 21? Thank you.

- There you go. I got yours coming.

- Perfect. 15.

- Yes.

- OK. Thank you.

There's no food for you here.

Could I speak to the chef

for just a second, please?

The hell you will.

Can I talk to you?

Next! Next!

What exactly are you doing here?

I'm, uh... eating the food.

I'm eating your food.

I thought my food was

needy and cloying.

Well, I didn't think

you'd want to serve me,

so I sent somebody

else to pick it up.

What happened between us,

that really knocked me for a loop.

I mean, you robbed me of my pride

and my career and my dignity.

And I know people like you don't

usually care about that kind of thing.

That's not necessarily true.

But you should know,

it hurts people like me.

- 'Cause we're really trying.

- You started a flame war with me.

Are you kidding me? I buy

ink by the barrel, buddy.

What are you doing

picking a fight with me?

I wouldn't challenge

you to a cook-off.

I thought I was sending

you a private message.

I didn't know that.

I thought we were having fun.

It was theatre. By the way,

what the f*** were you cooking?

You totally shat the bed, buddy.

How could I back that?

You were one of my early boys.

I had no control over the menu.

Whatever the case, OK? You seem

to be cooking for yourself again.

Because this sh*t is sensational.

I mean, really, really good.

Thank you.

I'm not gonna write about it.

Yeah. I understand.

Because I'd like to back you.

Excuse me?

I wanna bankroll you,

and I can't write about anything

I have a vested interest in.

I'm not sure I get

what's going on here.

I sold my website for

a whole lot of money

and I've just put in a

bid on a place on Rose.

It's zoned, it's permitted. You could

build it out however you like.

And you can cook whatever you like.

Take your time, think about it.

I wouldn't blame you for

having a few trust issues,

but I just thought that, you know,

you and me burying the hatchet

might be a good story.

Reservations out the door.

More importantly, you know, you

just cook your ass off in there.

In the meantime, you just

tweet me wherever you are

and I'll come running.

'Cause this sh*t's good. Alright?

Delicious!

Delicioso.

Mucho goodo.

- Hey, jefe.

- Yeah?

That was a lot of talking

and you not punching him.

So, what'd that a**hole say, huh?

I think that a**hole might

be our new partner.

Go, go, go, go

Thank you!

A mark. B mark.

Looks good. It looks good already.

The heat is right on.

- That's olive oil?

- Yeah.

What are you grabbing over there?

You're grabbing all your cheese.

Yeah.

What are you doing there?

Spreading it around or finding...

- Spreading it around.

- What are you looking for there?

Heat. Heat.

So it doesn't burn?

- Where's the hottest spot?

- Right here is the hot spot.

So you're controlling it all the time.

You're always controlling.

And you're looking, you're looking.

As soon as you get your good colour...

This is now where you start it.

You start to really build

the sandwich itself.

A light scrape.

So you can see, the whole

sandwich starts to evolve.

And, see, the cheese is

starting to evolve too.

Yes, you can do it. There you go.

Getting in there.

You're almost...

Even now, as you get further, Jon,

you're getting in,

like, assertive now.

You're changing...

Even your grip's here.

- Mm-hm.

- Changing your positions.

You're moving around.

But you're not too

busy with it. You're...

You're precise, but then

sometimes you step back.

- Nothing else exists except this.

- Right.

This is the only thing that

exists in this world right now.

And if you f*** this up,

everything sucks in the world.
