Hey,thanks for coming in.
Hey,hunter.
Grab a chair anywhere.
Hey,guys,kim.

Really? Yeah,absolutely.
Why? That's just not been previously encouraged.
Really,hunter?Well,that's one way things are gonna be different this week.

Please don'T.
Please,sit.
Sit,sit.
Well,well,did your mother slip a hallucinogenic in my oatmeal? No,papi,I'm really here.
Good to see you.
Well,you all know the challenges that are in front of us.
There have been too many distractions.
We have to refocus our attention and concentrate on our core spirits business.
Now,frank understands that and he has my full support and confidence.
All right,that being said,I'll leave you to it.
- Alejandro.
- Pop.
Everyone.
We weren't expecting you.
Uh,sorry for interrupting.
- Is it okay if I get something in my desk? - Please.
the thermostat's a little temperamental.
You have to adjust it in increments.
It goes from meat locker to sauna like that.
This many people, it just may be hard to find the sweet spot I'll see you all next week! Yeah.
So,carry on.
Thanks,pop.
All right,so where were we? Out-of-the-box thinking.

Yeah,that caribbean trip? I'm in,okay? Proudly Presents Cane Season 1 Episode 10 I don't know.
"I don't know" being polite,rich girl for "hate it,now change it before I have you all fired.
" swap those two move that one to that wall,and that one in the trash.
Oh,nice.
Doesn't matter; we all know whose they'll be lingering in front of.
Oh,pay no attention to the self-involved artist.
"Self-involved artist" is a redundancy.
he's right.
Flip those two,and we'll take it from there,okay? Thanks so much for helping.
You're kidding.
Chance to help a worthy cause and score some points with my soon-to-be mother-in-law? It's a no-brainer.
Hey,um that guy hudson,he's got a thing for you.
What? No.
No,he just enjoys giving me a hard time.
He has this "bite the hand that feeds you" complex.
I don't know.
Hey,homes.
Hey,pop.
How's the meeting going? You know,it's interesting.
A lot of smart people working here.
I'm really pleased that you're finally taking an interest in the family business.
you know,frank is doing a great job,papi.
A couple of the execs commented on how open and collaborative he is,compared to alex.
Let me make this clear.
It is not alex's style that I take issue with.
It's this meandering course that he's set: Ethanol,and feuding with the samuels but I'm glad to hear that frank is gaining respect.
Then you should tell him.
Oh,assist.
Two.
Hey,babe.
Hey-hey!Look,you've come by to help.
Here.
So,where's my mom? She had to fly out on some wedding-related matter.
The caterer,flower guy,photographerperhaps all three.
It's hilarious,all this frantic wedding stuff when we're already married.
Your mom would crap twice and die.
Oh,my boys at the bachelor party would be so pissed.
- What do you mean? - You know,kind of false pretenses.
You're still having a bachelor party? Tomorrow night.
You didn't cancel it? - Why would I cancel? - Why wouldn't you? Whoa,why are you freaking out? I'm not freaking out.
I just don't understand,that's all.
Look,everyone has a bachelor party.
What's wrong with that? Well,let's see,um,for one thing,you're not a bachelor.
Okay,nobody knows that.
Except for your wife.
Oh,and one more person: You.
I don't see what the big deal is.
You think that the stuff that goes on in a bachelor party is suitable for a married man? Look,it is what it is,okay, and I don't see what difference it makes.
So you're just going to go ahead with it? Absolutely.
Fine.
Fine.
Hey,what's that? Oh,uh,I'm going to the caribbean for a couple days,uh,in the morning.

You know,I didn't think that I needed,uh,permission to go.
Look,I'm sorry you're going through a bad time I am but I've had a crappy day myself,and I don't have the energy for this.
So you go on your trip,have a great time, and come back in a better mood.
Did I mention? Since you're set on having this bachelor party, my girlfriends are throwing together for me a,uh a bachelorette thing.

I like gazpacho gazpacho is refreshing and spanish.
This is a cuban wedding.
I just want what we discussed: The black bean soup.

That you're not really arguing with me over a soup.
Thank you.
well,I hope you don't ever get mad at me.
What are you doing? Your job.
You're welcome.
That's not where yours is supposed to go.
It's supposed to go where it looks best, where it's gets the best lighting, and where people who come to see a hudson bracks get the best view of it,which is here.
- Put it down,please.
- At your peril.
N't you touch it.
Who is running this event? that would be you.
The socialite dilettante.
Do you think that's charming? Insulting people? Prominent person in society,usually affluent,often female.
Someone casually and nonprofessionally involved in an activity.
Exactly which one of those don't apply? Have you made your final correction for the poster? I left it at the loft.
I'll run and get it.
I don't want to get yelled at,like the soup chick.
No,don't worry,I'll pick it up on my way home.
You can leave things the way they were.
Thank you.
Excuse me? - yoheard me.
- Yes! By all means, listen to the soccer mom, not the man who's been given retrospectives in paris.
come on,come on,guys,we just hit the wall.
Feels like the wall's hit back.
Well,we gotta push through,henry.
We gotta you know what,I'm gonna get some coffee.
Or a twelve-pack.
That's it.
That's it.
Beer.
We don't actually drink on the job,henry.
No,man.
I mean,that's what duque should get into.
Beer.
Workingman's drink.
Something everybody likes Think about it.
Always popular,immune from fads.
That's true.
We're a premium rum company.
Isn't beer a little déclass? Déclass?hunter? Well,maybe we trade on duque's reputation for quality.
I mean,there is a niche available for a mass market premium brew.
Let's run numbers,some projections.
Let's take a look.
See? I told papi,huh? You're not entirely useless.
Forget about you and alex.
Maybe I should become ceo.
Okay,yeah.
Blind pigs and acorns,enrique.
Come on.
Let's get to work.
Hey,don't fall asleep.
you're going to miss the sunset - How are they doing? - Yeah,man.
Beautiful.
It's part of the service here.
Just like the fresh towels and the sheets.
By the way,thanks very much for my gift.
You returned it unopened,man.
What's up with that? Hey,it's the thought that counts,right? And for the invitation,thank you.
Again.
you're my brother you seemed like you needed relaxation.
I know,I push it hard.
I always have.
For a man that has so much, you don't seem so much content.
Ah,I love my life,man.
Wife,kids,family,I love my job,but I'm content.
As content as I get.
For some men it's more elusive.
you're not happy? I have too many problems to be happy ah,not very,man.
But then there are moments this is one.
I guess our,our resistance to,to,to contentment is it's one of those things that,uh makes us interesting to one another.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I'm starving.
Let's go eat.
You see,I always heard that losing really stimulates the appetite, - so that makes sense.
- This guy you think he's all quiet and serious.
and the BAM He throws you a punch but chk ecthis out,if you would have won at the tables, then you would be paying for tonight's tab.
No,no,no,no! That's how I roll! Winner pays dinner.
That works for me,man.
I hope you got a nice limit on that platinum card of yours,bro.
- Okay.
- You haven't seen this guy eat.
- Yeah,right.
- Do your worst.
Do your worst.
- Go for it.
- Let's go.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You look nice.
- Thank you.
So do you.
The hookers will be very pleased.
there's not gonna be any hookers.
Sure you don't want me to come get you? Reeking of tequila and eau de slut? I'll pass.
Denice'll take me home.
Is that before or after the orgy? I don't know.
Interesting.
Poster's over here.

I shouldn't have called you a soccer mom.
I am a soccer mom,and I'm proud of it.
Oh,the other thing.
Dilettante.
debutante.
Socialite.

I was being a jerk.
I think you're doing a great job.
Something smells good.
It's our dinner.
Threw something together.
Little peace offering.
Ooh,that's nice,but,um I can't stay.
Why not? Well,because I have things to do.
Your son's on a field trip,your daughter's on a date.
Well,yeah,I know,but your world can spin without you for an hour.
Girl,you need to unplug have a glass of wine and try to undo that knot that you got in your gut.
How elegantly put.
That's why I paint.
Come on.
I'm in no danger of getting my own show on the food channel, but I won't poison you.
Yeah,I guess I could stay.
Excellent.
to jamie! To jamie! Today,we celebrate not merely the end of your freedom, but the end of life as you know it! To jamie's funeral! Jamie's funeral! now who could that be? Right this way,ladies.
will you cheer up? I mean,you look like you're here for a colonoscopy or something.
I'm having fun.
Okay,yeah,you need to get drunk.
No,drunker than that.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
- Can wehret t gee shots over here,please? - No,no,no I'm gonna,I'm gonna throw up.
Well,it'd be a lot better than you being a bore.
Listen up,ladies.
Listen up.
For the use of this club,let's have a big round of applause for rebecca's almost uncle-in-law henry.
Anyways,guess he forgot to call the fire marshal because he sent some guys to shut us down.
But maybe if we show them some extra appreciation, they might let us stay and party.
Come on out,boys.
It was good,right? I'm never eating again,bro.
Good news for the world.
Means no one's got to watch you.
All right,give me your wallets.
You got to be kidding me.
stay calm,stay calm evening.
Shut the hell up.
You guys just made a mistake.
And that's all right.
People make 'em every day.
It goes like that.
But,uh you got a chance right now to decide if you want to make this the worst and I'm afraid the last mistake of your young lives.
I don't think you want to do that.
Don't look at him.
Don't even look at them.
Just Stay with me for a second, 'cause I swear at this moment I'm the only friend you two have in the world.
Okay,so here's what I think.
I think you want to put those guns away, go off and hassle somebody else.
That's what I think you want to do.
Right now.
Okay,okay.
That's cool.
That's cool.
"you made a mistake.
- The last mistake of your lives.
" - No,no,no.
"Your young lives.
" You're a tough dude,man.
I was half scared of you myself.
Oy,alex! Say hello to my little friend,huh? Now that is a man's weapon.
That's some man shooting,bro.
I was in the service.
How'd you do? You know,I'm always spray and pray,you know.
Of course,for you guys,this is kind of a trade show,huh? There are potential professional applications.
Hey,man,the civilian outshot you.
My shoulder,come on,man.
It threw me all off.
I'm impressed that you could hang with it,man.
Those things have a hell of a kick.
Alls I know is that this guy who seems like some corporate rich guy, straight businessman,ceo,man, he's for real and for true one nasty-ass bro.
Thanks,petey.
Wow,a man! oh,my god.
Do you know who that guy is on the right? Oh,yeah.
Well,that's rebecca's ex,before jamie.
Everybody thought that they were the ones who were gonna get married.
Interesting development.
you know,I'MI'MI'M excuse me.
Yeah.
I,uh I can'T I wish,but,uh sorry guys oh,you gotta be kidding m come on! rebecca.
bye,rebecca.
Hi.
Hey.
Is this what it's come to? Crashing bachelorette parties? Women conveniently pre-loosened by strippers and booze.
Almost as easy as a wedding.
WhichI look forward to.
So glad I can provide you with such a target-rich environment.
You don't seem to be fully in the spirit,exactly.
It's jamie's bachelor party tonight.
Ouch.
Be honest with me.
Is everything I think that's happening there really happening? Honestly? Pretty much.
Can I have another? But I'm sure jamie wouldn't do anything to disrespect you.
You were always a lousy liar,but I appreciate the effort.
You do all these? You know,that's just it.
Why should he respect me? He's from this super-rich family super-rich,classy family, and I'm just this white trash waitress - oh,come on.
- From a loser family living in a loser trailer.
I mean,you should see his house.
It's like it's like a museum.
Can I have another one? I don't even want this.
I just want to get out of here.
But I just got here.
I wasn't asking you to take me home.
I'm gonna take a cab.
I'm kidding.
I'll take you.
You know I'm always there for you.
I just want to go.
Now.
All right,see these numbers? See what bacardi's doing with beer? I believe the term would be "cleaning up.
" That's great,frank.
- Can I go home now? - Wait,whoa,what are you? No,it's not all inspiration,you know? What succeeds in business is - you weren't gonna say "perspiration.
" - No.
I stopped myself.
Can we get a ruling from our judges? I'm sorry,our panel has ruled "intent to cliche.
" You'll have to forfeit your winnings and let your baby brother go home.
No,no,come on,you're not going anywhere.
Sit down,sidown,sit down.
I saw the light on.
Oh,so there's a party so where are the girls? Only frank,pop.
So,look,we've come up wi a pretty exciting idea.
- We? - Yeah.
Oh,no,no,you're right.
- It's henry's idea.
- Oh,good.
- Well,okay,let's hear it,let's hear it.
- Credit where it's due.
- Beer.
- No,no,no,thank you.
No,no,no.
Papi,that's the idea.
Look,bacardi,they're making a fortune off the stuff it's a reliable seller,consistent demand, and it's free from whims in the marketplace.
Okay? Now,mass-market premium beer, branded as quality,of course,by the duque name; and it gives us a baseline of earnings stability year-round, while we ride out this little boleomt and inevitable shake-out in the rum business.
So you two want to make beer.
Alex wants to make ethanol.
Isn't there anyone in this family who wants to make rum? - You blew the pitch.
- Oh,really?Oh,the expert,yeah.
One idea and,suddenly,you know everything about business.
Are you gonna explain to me how it's all about perspiration again? Nice.
I'm going home.
hey,alex,it's brent at chevy.
I need to let my management know your sugar ethanol thing's getting traction down there.
Call my cell when you get this,no matter how late.
Thanks.
you got the tv on,or what? You want to go fishing? Not now.
It's alex,man.
what's happening here? alex,you-you shouldn't see thisall right? Who is he? Who is this guy,man? A thieving traitor named julio.
Thieving traitor named julio who gets me shot.
Me who never had a bullet so much as touch me.
Ramon! He not only steals for a living and shoots my nephew you have the nerve to tell me that you don't know your coconspirators' names? Alex,you're an outside observer,right? You you tell me if this lying pig doesn't know the name of his two little piglets.
Do you believe that he doesn't know the name of his two little hoodlum friends? No.
let me do that.
Wow,you even know how to do dishes.
I do the dishes all the time.
All the time? Well,you're right,not all the time.
Sometimes I make my kids do them.
What is this thing you have with the affluent? They're your patrons,after all.
Don't remind me.
You know,people don't buy your art just because someone tells them to.
Uh,yeah,actually,they mostly do,so they buy it because it moves them.
And they're lucky if they can afford to have this beautiful thing that speaks to them have it in their homes and be inspired by it every day.
It becomes wallpaper in a week.
you're right.
Six months.
After they're finished showing off their conspicuous example of refinement and wealth, they quickly move to wishing for my premature death, so the valuation will go up.
are you this cynical about everything? Not everything.
I need to go.
Sure,I'll finish up.
Thanks for dinner.
My pleasure.
- You okay? - Yeah,fine.
I'm not sure.
Not really,no .
- You said you wanted to.
- Please,just take me home.
so that's why you came here,to get that guy? man,I was kidding myself this whole time about you,this trip about myself.
Maybe not the whole time.
Good night.
