Fishing for Love

You ready for the lunchtime launch?

Yes.

I just hope the partners like it.

Of course they will, Kendall.

It really looks fantastic,

very avant garde.

Thank you, Maggie.

It's the first time seeing the final reveal,

so...

Oh, look out!

I am so sorry!

Are you alright?

Yes.

That was close, but I'm totally fine, thank you.

Very quick moves there.

I'm impressed.

Do strangers often

almost take you out on the sidewalk

with sailboat planks?

You know, stranger things have happened in this city.

What's the occasion?

It's a restaurant launch.

Another one?

I don't know if Seattle

really needs another fancy place to eat.

You know, some people enjoy fine dining.

I only eat what I can catch.

Oh, the owners are about to make a speech.

We're so happy to welcome all of you

to the opening of our new restaurant, Glo.

-Yes! -Cheers.

It's one of the best designs

I think this city has ever seen,

and that's all thanks

to the hard work of Seacoast Architects.

Oh! Thank you.

Enough with the speeches.

Let's have some fun

and eat!

- -Come on in!

Well, the partners love it.

Are you going to come in and celebrate?

You know what,

I would love to but I can't.

I'm still working on that proposal

for my meeting tomorrow morning for Edward Kent.

Wow, Clove.

That is one of the most prestigious restaurants in town.

They just won another James Beard award.

I know.

I've never designed a restaurant this upscale before.

You always come up with a dynamite plan.

What can I do to help?

You know what, nothing.

You stay here, have a good time.

I am going to put the finishing touches

on that proposal,

but I'll see you at the office tomorrow to debrief?

You're the best.

Good luck!

No! Not 20.

One moment, please.

40. Four-zero.

So sorry about this.

Busy morning,

but it always is when you own a restaurant.

Even busier when you own three!

Soon to be four, which is where you come in.

I had a hard time with the previous architect,

so I need someone

who can envision exactly the design I want.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

I draw upon a lot of classic art,

a lot of contemporary, too.

Jean-Michel Basquiat,

Edward Hopper,

even Warhol from time to time.

I'm impressed by your art knowledge.

Thank you.

I used to love studying the greats growing up.

I wanted to paint just like them.

Well, you and your firm come with rave reviews.

Voted Best of Seattle in City Design Magazine.

I am proud of my winning team.

And as the owner of Seacoast Architects,

you're the one to go to.

Now, I want to make a big splash with this design,

something modern,

yet still welcoming,

so customers feel--

At home.

Exactly.

Now, we're opening in two months,

so you're going to have to move quickly.

Well, I was thinking sleek modern walls,

with patterns of Old World French design.

For the front of the restaurant,

we would do something glass-like--

cascading ice, very bold.

Sounds fantastic.

How soon can we get a mock-up? A week?

Absolutely!

I love visiting you in the city, sis.

You love me or all the free food that I get you?

Both!

Well, I'm glad one of us gets to enjoy these perks.

I know I said I love owning my own business,

but I feel like I am married to my job.

Well, I would marry this fillet,

it's so delicious.

I wish I could cook like this.

Hey, you are one of the best chefs I know.

Maybe they're looking for a new sous-chef here?

No, you know what--

Billy, I think you should dream bigger.

Like owning your own restaurant.

Would you come have a sit-down meal more often

if I had my own restaurant?

I would be your biggest customer.

Hey! I need that!

Enough work.

I have a new recipe

for the Mystic Bay Big Catch Festival.

You mean for the--

Chowder Showdown!

I can't wait for you to try it.

I can't believe that the festival is next Sunday!

It might be Dad's last before he retires.

I think you mean if Dad retires.

He really is this time, Ken.

He's selling the boat.

What?

He's selling "Sweet Serenity"?

I can't believe it!

I can't either.

But I overheard him talking to Ron on the phone

about a sale,

and I think it's for real this time.

I just don't know if Ron is the right buyer.

I worry about him making the wrong decision.

You know Dad.

I doubt we can talk him out of it

once he's made up his mind.

You can talk him in or out of anything.

I need that.

Ugh.

It's my new client, Edward,

the owner of this restaurant.

He is relentless.

He's passionate, but relentless.

And, you know what,

he wants my proposal in one week.

One week is very fast.

But I also need him as a client, so.

Why don't you come home early?

Spend the week in your favorite town

for some inspiration?

You are your own boss, you know?

Well, you are right.

I do come up with my best ideas when I'm home.

Okay, let's see.

I could brainstorm on Tuesday,

I could mock up some more drawings on Wednesday,

I could send over my final proposal

to Edward on Thursday,

and then I could be there for festival prep on Friday.

Okay, you know what--

it's a plan!

-Hi. -Hey.

Maggie, hi.

Hi.

I just sent the drawings you left on your desk

to Edward.

Thank you so much.

I don't know what to do about those interiors.

I don't know if I need to do something bolder,

flashier.

I think it looks very modern.

I am going to work on it this week

and I will get back to you.

Okay. Bye.

Dad, hi!
