[ Laughs ]
But you know how that is.

Dad, they don't know
how it is.

Almost no one does.

What are you talking about,
Cooper?

Sure we do.

Back in the late '90s,

Greg accidentally filled
our tank with premium gas.

Sure did.
Mm-hmm.

Dad, did I tell you
that Mr. Otto

is running
for town council?

Polls close
in a half-hour.

Shaping up to be
a close race.

You know, one phone call,
and it's yours.

I could use another
politician on my side.

Thank you, but I'm gonna
win this fair and square.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, you're serious.

Mr. Otto prides himself
on having integrity.

Oh, but I don't.

I blew the SATs,
and I need an in at Harvard.

No problem. I just acquired
a seat on the board

to make sure
that Cooper gets in.

I'm sure one more
won't make a big difference.

Harvard?
You hear that, Cooper?

[ Crickets chirping ]

[ Thud ]
Ow!

Sorry.

[ Thud ]
Ow!

Dad, uh, how are you
enjoying your meal?

Oh, every course
has been amazing.

I'd like to compliment
your chef.

[ Thud ]
Ow!

Sorry.

[ Thud ]
Ow!

I'm glad you're enjoying
the dinner, because...

I made it.

I don't understand.

I found my passion,
and it's cooking.

I want to go to culinary school
and study to become a chef.

He's truly gifted.

He made a five-star meal
using two-star ingredients

in a zero-star kitchen.

I appreciate your input,
but Bradfords don't cook.

Bradfords are cooked for.

But Dad --

Culinary school
is out of the question.

One day, you're gonna take over
Bradford Industries if I die,

but I might do one of those
Queen Elizabeth things

where I just hang on
until he's too old.

Do we understand
each other?

Yes, sir.

Thank you for the meal,
but I have a meeting to attend.

Cooper,
if you'd like to say goodbye

before I head back
to Florida,

I have an opening between
10:00 and 10:15 tomorrow.

[ Sighs ]
I'm so sorry, Cooper.

Why'd you make me
do this?

I had my own plan.

I could have secretly
gone to culinary school,

and he never would have
noticed.

I told you, there's
no standing up to him.

You ruined everything!

Wow. He hates you.

Now he really is
like one of our kids.
