Let me have two kind of burnts, please.

Perfect. Now do we have

You know, like syrup or some honey

or some jelly or some...

Anything that might cut the taste a bit.

Ketchup.

Chocolate syrup. Hot sauce.

And mustard.

You know, l would have just went with

chocolate sauce or honey or...

- Don't worry, it's yummier this way.

- But ketchup is...

Wow. That's enough ketchup.

- Now would you like chocolate sauce?

- Well, l guess so, yeah.

- You probably would prefer it.

- Yeah, wow.

Yeah, let's put a lot on.

Mustard.

Excellent choice.

Brown and yellow match perfectly.

l think it's gonna add

some mystery to the dish.

Don't eat it yet. We got the hot sauce.

Hey, where...

What happened to the pancakes?

There. Perfect.

l think we should say our grace and eat.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- So, you pray with Daddy now.

- Okay.

- Dear Lord.

- Dear Lord.

- Please protect my daddy's throat.

- Please protect my daddy's throat.

- He never done nothing to nobody, Lord.

- Amen.

- Amen.

- And now l'm going to dig in.

- Yeah, dig in.

And l think it's time

to ingest this pancake and be a good...

Hey, look, it's Sopida.

She's gone.

That's the best pancake

l ever had in my life!

- Can l please see the bill?

- Yeah, the bill?

$400,000?

You must be out your mind, woman!

You trying to get... Tell you what!

Come back here now! Come back here!

Almost got you! Oh, my God!

Yeah, that's a good one, too.

Hold on, wait, wait, wait,

don't hog the picture now.

You're gonna hog the picture.

Wait, the picture's not right

unless Daddy's in the picture.

That's magic! Come on, it's late.

Okay, come on.

Daddy?

l'm scared about

the Fall Sing on Saturday.

What are you afraid of? Your mother

told me you were excited about it.

Well, everybody has a solo

and mine is on the last song.

And l start it, so if l mess up,

the whole entire song is wrecked.

What makes you think

you're gonna mess up?

l can't sing.

- What do you mean you can't sing?

- l can't.

Yes, you can.

Where's the song you're gonna sing?

Let me see.

l'll put it to the right page.

- What song is it?

- Here, this page.

All right, All You Need ls Love.

Okay, that's a good one.

That's The Beatles.

Tell you what, here's what you do.

Come over here.

l'm going to get you onstage here.

- This is the stage.

- l thought you'd play the part.

No, you're gonna get on stage

and l'm gonna be in the audience.

This is going to be

just like you're at the play.

And all the people in the audience

all came to see the show.

We're all like, "This is great.

Well, l can't wait to see the show.

"Who's in the show? Well, who's that?

l wonder if she can sing."

You've got to get ready now.

You got to get ready,

see, 'cause everybody's watching,

everybody's watching.

And you're going to say...

There's nothing you can do

that can't be done

- l can't.

- Yes, you can!

There's nothing you can do

that can't be done

Here's how you're singing it.

You say it and then you take

the last word and just stretch it out.

There's nothing you can do

that can't be done

All right, now, here's the second line.

There's nothing you can sing

that can't be sung

And we go higher now.

There's nothing you can sing

that can't be sung

A little higher though. Higher. Higher.

There's nothing you can sing

that can't be sung

My baby sounds like Minnie Riperton!

Okay, let's drop it lower.

Let's do it like a frog.

There's nothing you can sing

that can't be sung

Daddy, you're just doing

what l did to you.

Yeah, that's right. l'm doing

what you did to me. Now let's try it.

There's nothing you can sing

that can't be sung

See, you're doing it.

Okay, here's the next one.

There's nothing you can say

But you can Iearn how to pIay the game

It's easy

There's nothing you can say

But you can Iearn how to pIay the game

It's easy

That's it! That's it! You're singing!

Take a bow! She was wonderful!

- You're going to the top!

- Oh, stop.

She's going to the top!

"They finish reading. Olivia's mother

gives her a kiss and says,

"'You know, you really wear me out,

but l love you anyway.'

"Olivia gives her a kiss back and says,

'l love you anyway, too."'

There you go, sleepyhead.

Hey!

We didn't talk to the princesses tonight.

Yeah, you know what, we didn't,

but that's okay.

lt's quite all right.

Well, maybe if you want,

you can talk to them yourself.

Really? On my own?

Qwali says she trusts you now.

That's very nice of Qwali.

Tell Qwali thanks a lot.

That means a lot to me.

Or l could tell her myself.

You want me to?

Hey, you want me to?

Did you fall asleep that quick?

l send you out to gather

pertinent information.

You come back with this.

But this is all he does.

He just hangs out with his daughter.

They sing and they dance

and they laugh.

They're playing with a blanket.

The two of them with their faces buried

in a blanket.

The blanket.

- It's a wakaIyapi.

- Yeah.

He's a sharp cat. He is a razor cat!

- Say that again?

- WakaIyapi.

A tapestry. A weave.

lt's how you access a higher eye.

My people believe it's the way

to achieve closeness to the Great Spirit.

- Who are you calling?

- You'll see.

The entire Denver financial community

is talking about you.

But as your very first client ever,

you owe it to me to tell me

what the hell is going on.

l told you, Maggie, l'm just listening.

To the little voice that whispers to you.

Yeah, right.

Why don't you just tell her your secret?

- Hi. Johnny Whitefeather.

- l'm Margaret Johnson.

Evan? Tell her the truth.

Okay, Maggie, here's the truth.

l have a six-year-old daughter.

Now, she has what you would

have to call a magic blanket.

Now, with this blanket,

l can be taken and be transported

to a mystical, magical place

where l meet with three

invisible princesses and one queen.

lncidentally, they all have

remarkable insight to investing,

except for one,

who mostly wants to throw rocks at me

and have me burned up by her dragon.

A securities blanket.

Fine, fine. Keep your secret.

Just keep me in the black.

l can get a blanket.

l can. And l'm going to get one.

l need to see you guys

in my office, please.

You may have noticed l've been doing

things a little differently this past week,

letting the two of you go head-to-head

a bit more than usual.

And l know you've probably

heard the rumor, and it's true.

There's an offer on the table,

and it's big.

lt's the kind of out l've been looking for.

But the buyer wants to make sure that

there's someone worthy to, well,

to take this office. So...

Here we go.

Gentlemen, this is

Mr. Pratt of D.D.E. lnvestments.

- You're Frederick Pratt.

- Yes. Yes, l am. Excuse me.

- Yes, sir.

- That's the suitor? Dante D'Enzo?

- He's ready for you.

- Hello there.

Mr. D'Enzo.

What an honor it is to meet you, sir.

Thank you. Have a seat, gentIemen.
