The Bear

Last one.

Okay.

You sleep at all?

Not really.

Did I keep you up?

- Storm did. - Oh.

That looks different.

Yeah, I-I fried the leaves.

I saw Sydney do it once, so…

It's not like before, baby.

I know.

I-I just… I don't want to feel like that again.

I don't want Louie to see me like that again.

- Think about where we are now. -

We're in a different place.

Think about everything you've learned, all the new skills you have.

You can go anywhere you want, baby.

Plus, I didn't manage an entire building last time.

I didn't have any money saved last time.

Right? Louie's almost done with high school...

Yeah, but I didn't do what I loved the last time.

You know, with all the things you can do for a living

and all the-the people you can do it with, I…

To get to do that something that you love with people that you love...

Yeah, you won the lottery.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hell of a run.

- It's not over yet. - You're right.

We're gonna figure something out.

- Yes, we are. -

- It's time to wake up. -

Parts of Cook County are under a flash flood warning…

Downtown was hit with a downpour…

From the north side down to the south side,

- and then stretching all the way down to… - Joining us, that strip of rain…

We're talking a month's worth of rain in just one day.

If you don't have to be on the roads, stay inside…

Heavy downpours, those red colors popping up.

High winds are picking up all across the Chicago area.

Rain has been pouring down for hours across much of the city.

We're dealing with torrential downpours.

Nobody likes you.

Everybody hates you.

You're gonna lose.

Smile, you fuck.

It's going to be a fucking day.

- Hi. So, uh, the res app is down. - What's up?

Like our app is down?

The entire reservation system isn't working.

Goddamn it. Um, I'll be right there.

Okay.

Jacket.

Steering wheel.

- Dashboard. -

Nah, I'm still fucking pissed.

- No, no, no, no... -

- Hi, hi, hi. Hi, come in. Come in. - Hi.

- Come in. In here. - Hi.

- Okay. - I got her.

- Okay. Thank you. - She's getting big.

- Yeah. - Hi.

Okay. So, Mom, you promise you're not gonna be weird, right?

- Yeah, I promise, I promise. -

Okay. Be chill. Be chill.

I am.

- Mom, what the fuck is going on? - Nothing. I'm happy. I'm just happy.

- I'm here. I'm happy. Go. Go. - Okay. Okay, good.

And I will be monitoring you, okay?

- So… - I understand. Understood. Hurry up.

I love you, Sophie. Mwah.

Have fun with Grandma.

Yes, we will.

Okay.

You're not gonna be fucking weird, right?

Zero weird.

- Oh. - Shit.

- What's up, bro? - I got you this.

Oh! Someone's celebrating "Best New Chef" in style.

I need today to be perfect.

So this is the, uh, much-talked-about McGriddle.

First McGriddle?

Hand to God, she came out of nowhere.

Look, I'm hearing different things.

- I don't wanna like this. - But you have no choice.

'Cause it's kind of perfect.

No matter where you are, no matter when you are,

this thing always tastes like this.

Honestly, for consistency, McDonald's should have a Michelin star.

You should email them. You should email them and say,

"There's this restaurant I think is worthy of a star."

Called McDonald's. It's worth a special trip.

- Yo. - Hey. Howdy, partner.

I'm running behind schedule.

Listen, the sink is making a really weird noise, and I...

I got into a little accident.

- Sorry, wait. An accident? - It's nothing. It's some bullshit.

Okay. Do you need, like, anything?

- Or I-I can… - No. I'm fine. What's going on?

- …call my dad. Okay. - No, no.

Don't call your dad. I got this.

Do you think we're, like, completely insane for doing this?

- No, no, no. - Okay.

I'm just, like, worried we have different definitions of

like, insanity.

I'll be there soon. Thanks, Chef Syd.

Okay.

So many fucking exclamation points, man.

Looks familiar.

Trying to cover up the cracks.

That's a really good idea.

All that's missing is a quote.

Huh.

This is it! Franchise, baby. Franchise!

Say that fucking word one more time, I'm gonna kick you in the dick.

I'm not kidding! I'll kick you in the fucking cock!

Listen to me, you've got 7,500 square feet of restaurant you're trying to unload

when no one wants to buy a fucking restaurant.

How do I know? 'Cause there's an empty restaurant for sale over there

and there's an empty restaurant for sale over there.

- What's the dirt worth? - It doesn't matter what the dirt's worth.

It matters if I wanna knock the fucking place down.

We're gonna have to get a survey done, and we're gonna have to do it ten minutes ago.

The good news is I got someone

- who can tell us what we're dealing with. - Who?

Cheese.

I'm gonna get a pop. You want one?

No, I don't want a motherfucking pop, you idiot!

Jesus fucking Christ.

What the fuck was that?

He's a robot whose only skill is he has the ability to suck his own cock.

Why did we, like, set up the pass like this?

Back to the front… It's a… It's a little…

You know?

- Yeah, no, that… -

…is a good question.

You good?

No, not good.

Me too, not good.

Go.

I got squeezed, Richard.

I, um…

I made a bad trade.

And it turned into the, uh, nightmare fist fucking of my young life.

How much did you lose?

About three-quarters of my money.

I'm sorry.

You know all the partnership stuff we discussed last night?

You know, could we just keep that between us for a little while?

You know, find a… a good time to tell everybody.

Yeah. Nah, I-I was thinking the same thing.

Good. Cool.

- Smells good. - Yeah.

Coca-Cola short ribs.

- Ah! It's a classic. - Hmm.

- -

I wish I had the courage to not answer my phone.

Oh, I wouldn't call it courage.

What would you call it?

The opposite.

That's a nice fucking watch.

My brother gave it to me.

Is that right?

Only thing he ever gave me, you know.

About 35 years ago.
