The first 180 lines.
I would like to thank you all.
I would like to
I would like to thank you all for coming tonight.
It means a lot to me to have you here.
Through my struggles
and triumphs.
It hasn't been easy.
But through sleepless nights.
But through sleepless nights.
Road blocks.
Hurdles.
Back breaking work!
Endless red tape!
Let me introduce you to "Come Semini, Cosi Raccogli."
This 100 percent extra virgin olive oil
will soon, very soon, be distributed
throughout the west coast and the entire country.
As you reap,
so shall you sow.
Good morning, America.
I'm Keith White.
And first off...
Olive oil fraud is a major international racket
worth 300 million dollars a year.
Dishonest oil traders and producers
buy soybean and sunflower oil,
cover them with chlorophyll and beta-carotene
and sell them as extra virgin olive oil.
But how do you know that what's on the payload
is what you're actually getting?
The FDA admits that because of a lack of funds
and higher priority items,
it simply does not have the time or resources
to check olive oil.
If you have the third largest
and one of the fastest growing markets in the world
and nobody is checking the quality of the olive oil,
it's an open invitation for fraud.
Pronto?
It's Katherina.
Oh.
Yes, ma'am.
- I want you to come to California.
- I'm sorry but my situation here in Rome
is very difficult now.
I have confirmation
that the shipment from Calitri is on its way here.
Respectfully ma'am,
I don't think that is possible.
We raided his plant in Sicily yesterday.
Think for a moment.
Calitri supplies his olive oil to at least
five major international brands.
You think he has only one plant?
Listen,
Calitri's guy is about to sign a major distribution deal
and he must be stopped immediately.
- I just don't have time for another wild goose chase.
I'm under a lot of pressure from my chief, here,
to stop Calitri.
- Someone in California
is distributing adulterated olive oil
and my niece is now suffering in an ICU because of that!
Oh, I see.
Yes, I'm very sorry about your niece.
What does Mr. Samson have to say about this, huh?
Don't worry about
what my father has to say.
I'm now in charge and I'm telling you,
you give me the Californian contact and you'll get Calitri.
Miguel!
Make that quick
alright?
Where's your guy?
How're we supposed to move all this oil now, huh?
You know how to work a forklift?
I don't know how to work a forklift!
Jesus.
Just go inside.
Just go inside and get the shit moving.
Yeah, I'm trying to reach Rossi.
None of your fucking business.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, okay, listen.
He owes me some money.
Call me when he gets to the club, alright?
Miguel!
Can we make this snappy?
We got a lot to do before tonight!
She's not responding to the treatments.
It's possible that she has other unrecorded allergies.
Is it one of ours?
Can't tell.
You tell that doctor
that from this moment on
that young girl is his highest priority,
sparing no expenses.
Papa, he is doing all he can.
Bullshit, Katherina!
You know more can be done!
Hello?
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, I understand.
I'm very sorry to hear about your niece's condition.
You really think that George's oil could make her sick?
No.
I just didn't think he had that kind of capability.
Yes, yes.
Katherina, he's a bottom-feeder.
No.
Yes, I understand.
I will look into it.
Katherina,
you tell your father that
he has my deepest regards.
Come on, Miguel, be a little careful!
You're spilling money on the floor right now!
Didn't Calitri send you a letter
about getting us an assembly line?
Calitri, yeah.
Calitri sends me a letter every fucking day.
Conflicts with the letter he sent me the day before.
He doesn't know what the fuck he wants.
I don't know why he doesn't shoot me an email
or give me a call.
It would be a lot cleaner.
- Yeah, probably the best way to avoid the Feds.
- Would be if I destroyed the letters he sent me.
Never know when them puppies might come in handy.
- Yeah, if you ever decide to go that route,
getting an assembly line,
I can get us some workers.
Oh yeah.
I bet you can.
Like that fucking forklift driver, right?
No thank you.
- Hey, hand me that bucket over there.
Yeah?
Rossi? Rossi?
He's at the Blue Bar now?
Alright.
Let's go.
Rossi's at the Blue Bar, let's go get him.
That's it. That's the end of olive oil.
We don't have any more, man.
Let's go! We can get back to this!
Come on!
Fuck.
Hey.
Come here.
Oh fuck.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What happened to you again?
Nothing.
No, this doesn't look like nothing.
I told you yesterday
I was running up the stairs outside my building.
Just, you know, fell.
Mmmm.
You'd look great in short hair.
I'm freaking serious.
Yeah?
You're fucking sexy.
No.
We need to get ready.
I need to go.
I need to go.
This is nice.
When did you make this?
I've been working on it for awhile.
I'm really hoping that some gallery picks it up.
I have a better idea.
You should bring that to the restaurant tonight.
No.
We can present it at the meeting.
No! No!
I don't want to.
Babe,
it's a great opportunity for you. And for us.
It's not that simple.
