[ 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. 00:02:23.143,00:00:00.000 ♪♪
