Okay, Jack, Sara, light this candle.
Ooh! I must admit, there is an air of excitement to this scheme.

You could've followed the cartoon of the guy plugging in one cord.
Oh, yeah, that was crazy.
- [LAUGHING.]
Right? - Right? Yeah.
We We just stared at that thing, then we realized it looked like you, so we we called you.

Yeah.
Welcome to my life, guy.
Hey.
Whoa! What What is this? Just a little upgrade to the office.
Okay, do you not realize that we haven't had a new account in months? Like, we're we're struggling.

Oh, look, it's a stupid commercial.
It didn't even land, so don't worry about it.
I don't know.

Wait a second.
Was Was this right after Lent? Yes! I was born in April.
Okay.
I remember.
I I hadn't had a cheeseburger in 40 days, right, and And I walked in there ready to crush it, and when I got my order, I hear a lady scream and I'm thinking, "Wow, she she must have just got her order, 'cause she's as happy as I am.
" But she she didn't get her order.
She was having a baby.
Was that Was that you? Yes! Yes! And I've been trying to track you down this whole time.

Well, tell me about yourself.
Just start at day two, 'cause I was there for day one.
Um, well, let's see, um you know, Mom was single, so it was a tough time growing up, not a lot of money.
Yeah.
She, uh, considered putting me up for adoption.
[SIGHS.]
But after all those encouraging words you said to her that day, she decided to keep me.
- Really? - Yeah.
Yeah, it changed her life, and mine.
And I wanted to just, um, come in here and look you in the look you in the eye and say "Thank you.
" Wow.
Things got heavy quick.
Bring in it, little man.
Bring it in.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]

I was baby-wiping the remote, per your demand.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Hey, did did you just see that kid right there? No, I-I didn't.
I was on the phone.
Listen, we lost the Gillman Hardware account.
They went with Nassau Security.
That kid had a whole story about me being a hero.
Okay, are you serious? I'm telling you we're losing business, and you're going on about some kid.
It wasn't "some" kid, alright? I-It was a beautiful moment.
I'm responsible for bringing him into the world.
It's a celebration of life.
He's a miracle baby.
Where did this happen? All American Burger.
You know what? We're not backing down from Nassau Security and their stupid commercial.
- Yeah.
- We'll just do our own.
Pic Picture it We all jump out of a plane, holding hands, like, in a circle, and then boom smoke bombs explode from our ankles, spelling out "Monkey Fist" in the night sky.
- Oh, that's badass.
- Right?! Right?! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kev, that'll make a great commercial, man.
Look, you get Morgan Freeman to do the voice-over - Can you imagine that? - we're all set.
- Yeah, baby.
- Yes! Morgan Free Oh, great! So, this is settled.
[INHALES SHARPLY.]
Are you mocking us? Yes, I am mocking you.
First of all, no one knows how to skydive.
Second, it's, um, I don't know, stupid and ridiculously expensive.
Oh, and you wanna set off smoke bombs at night Where no one can see it.
I'm sorry.
I thought you said there was no such thing as a bad idea.
Yeah, I was wrong.
You know what? We're just pitching here.
What's the difference, you know? I know, but Come on.
Let's be Wow.
Sounds like there's a little trouble in paradise, huh, guys? [CHUCKLES.]

So, if you don't mind Oh, I'm sorry, guy.
I didn't get the memo that you bought the place.
Now, I'm gonna exercise my constitutional right and sit wherever the heck I want.
If you get outta here, I'll buy you a beer.
Done.
Mr.
Gable? If you're looking for media exposure, there are ways to go besides paid commercials.
Like what? A human-interest story.
Anything.
Anything that will go viral.
Oh.
You know what? He's right.
Wha What about that kid that came to the office yesterday? Oh, the one I gave birth to at All American Burger.

Okay.
So, it started out on a rainy day in 1998 and there's my mom, middle of giving birth, Officer Gable by her side.
