Cocoa (ココア)

Ooh!

You okay?

Okay, come on, we gotta go.

Relax, Hope, I'm an excellent driver.

There's no brake on your side, Hope.

Oh my god, Faith, you're always in such a rush!

Stop it.

Oh, nice of you to join us.

I like that shirt, it's a nice pop.

Thank you, I know it's good looking on me.

If you'd quit getting your head bashed in

at your football games,

you might actually have some brain cells left.

Excuse me?

You're so supercilious, it's disgusting.

All right.

Oh, are you goin'?

Hey, you forgot your broom.

Ugh, ygh!

Foreclosure, really?

There's no way we lost both the house and the business.

Faith, you heard the judge.

You're gonna have plenty of time to straighten things out

before your next court date.

If this preliminary hearing is any indication

of what's gonna happen, you're such a liar!

I'm sorry, Faith.

My next client's here.

I'll have to call you later.

By the way,

I never missed a single one of your college games.

You had some arm.

Thanks.

You and I both know you're lying,

and I'm gonna prove it.

Well, good luck with that.

Hey, wanna get a bite to eat?

Sure.

My next client's...

And that's for you.

Have a good day.

So unfair.

Everything is gone.

You can stay with me until you sort this out.

Thanks, Hope.

There is only one place to go at a time like this.

Oh, it looks exactly the same.

I know.

- Let's go in. - Okay.

Mm, oh my gosh.

Do you remember the last time we were here?

With mom.

She loved this place.

I think she made excuses to come to New York

just to come here.

I miss those times.

Here's to you, mom, the queen of chocolate.

- Oh, careful! - Sorry, sorry, sorry.

It's my boss.

Well then answer it.

Yeah, I'm calling you about my Corvette.

It was impounded.

Yeah, I, I'm not interfering with your profits.

My proposals will actually increase them.

Yeah, 212-789.

Yeah, well, I have a conscience, you know?

It wasn't impounded.

Well, the public,

they're becoming aware of the dangers of Frankenfood.

- Repossessed? - I quit.

My car was repossessed.

I quit my job.

You've been declined.

That's it.

Joseph, hey, it's Faith.

Hey.

Yeah, I, I want you to get us into court right away.

Faith, I already told you,

the courts are backed up for another six months.

How is that even possible?

Look, while you wait,

I recommend that you hire a forensic accountant.

With what?

I don't have any money.

I'm sorry, Faith.

I can't even afford to lease a kitchen or,

or to hire a baking staff.

Maybe you should take these next six months

to find an investor.

Well, that is just great.

You know, Mark handled all the finances.

I don't even know where to start.

I remember this kid.

Oh, do my eyes deceive me or what?

Lucas Morello.

Mr. Frangiolini.

Look at you, eh, you're all grown up now.

Call me Carmine.

Well, thank you, sir.

Well, Carmine, you haven't changed one bit.

What are you blind?

Last time I weighed myself was at a truck stop.

Hey, , huh.

Sit down.

I haven't seen you

since you and Paolo was friends in high school.

So where you been?

That's what I'm here to talk about, sir.

I've been working as an assistant for a rich lady.

A very rich lady.

I took your advice.

I've been getting some business experience.

She's an investor.

Good for you, good for you.

That's great.

I'm thinking maybe you could use someone of my talents.

I could possibly be an asset to the family business.

Wait a minute.

What, what did you say?

Well, I finally graduated college

and got some life experience.

You said I could come see you when I felt ready.

So you're ready?

Yes, sir, I am ready.

What can you offer me?

I, I don't understand.

Listen, you don't just Walt in here

and think I'm gonna open up my arms

and welcome you into my family.

It don't work that way, kid.

What do I need to do?

You bring me a business deal.

What kind of business deal?

What kind of business deal?

The kind of business deal that makes money.

And then we can talk.

Let's see what you're made of, capeesh?

Sure, sure.

I can do that.

All right, go do it.

Piece of work.

Oh, hi, Teebore.

It's really true.

What?

You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Uh...

Well, I, we, we, ,

uh, we just wanted you to know

how much we are going to miss you.

Everyone knows your value.

Was there anything else?

Uh.

Here, think of me when you look at it.

Well, I guess I'll be looking at it a lot then.

Oh, oh.

Here.

Faith, are you sleeping?

Cute.

What?

Oh, mom's scrap book.

Come on.

There's the microscope cake

she made for your ninth birthday.

She was so creative.

Way ahead of her time.

Do you remember when you were going to science camp

and you got the flu,

and mom made that chocolate concoction.

You had the miraculous recovery.

Triptofem, serotonin, and Phenethylamine?

Of course I felt better.

And it was loaded with antioxidants.

Someone should make a cake that's actually good for you.

Like a chocolate cake without gluten.

Ooh, one that makes you lose weight.

Wait, wait.

You, you could be onto something.

Yeah right,

like a cake could actually make you lose weight.

I was developing something like this on my own.

Remember when I interviewed at Montello

and then I didn't hear from them for like six months

so I went to the Amazon?

I found this rare flower that the locals said never to eat.

Is it poisonous?

No, they have a food shortage there.

Okay, and this relates to cake how?

They said eating it would make you lose too much weight.

Did you tell them there's no such thing?

Okay, whatever.

And this rare flower?

I analyzed the cellular structure of the stamen,

the haploid nucleus, the embryo sac.

How the diploid cell divides-

Kinda losing me?

I found a unique compound that triggers weight loss.

Now you got my attention.

I remember something about the cacao bean

acting as an accelerant.

Sorry.
