A Recipe for Seduction (2020) - full transcript

- The chicken is
delicious Bunny.

- Oh please, we both know
I can't cook like this.

It's my new chef.

He's incredibly talented.

- Well, you've nevertheless,

orchestrated the perfect
meal for the perfect evening.

Right sweetheart?

- Yes, it couldn't
be more perfect.

- Well, that's where
I beg to differ.

Jessica.

Sweetheart.



I am madly, wildly certifiably,
insanely in love with you.

Would you do me
the greatest honor

- Oh my God.

- And, marry me.

- Billy, I'm speechless.

- Well, when you get your
speech back a yes would be nice.

- Why are you putting
me in a spot like this.

- I'm sorry?

- Jessica what are you doing?

- I'm sorry everyone I just...

I need some time to think.

- She has probably
had too much wine.

- Morning.

- How dare you, leave Billy
in the lurch like that.



- Mom please.

- He's a Garibaldi.

- Do you know what this
marriage would mean for us?

- I need time to process, Okay.

I'm not sure Billy is the one.

- You have the rest of your
lives to become soulmate.

In the meantime,

your father left us nothing
but a legacy of debt.

We're weeks away from the
bank, repossessing our house.

- But it's so unfair.

Our families livelihoods
shouldn't depend

on who I choose to marry.

- I'm sorry, Jessica.

Marrying Billy is the only
thing that can save us.

- Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt.

The menu for the
Christmas Eve luncheon

is very for you to
look at Mrs Mancera.

- Sorry, who are you?

- Harland Sanders, the new cook.

- Oh, don't be so modest.

Harland was head chef at
Le Petit Pamplemousse.

- Oh my gosh.

We've been trying to get a
reservation there for years.

Well, I insisted Harland
get out of the city

for a while, come stay
in the guest house

as our resident
chef, if he will.

- Anyway, I better
get back to work.

It was nice meeting you,

- Jessica.

- Jessica.

- Yeah, this is good.

- Nice, thank you.

- All right, I'll take that.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Nobody's offered you a tour

of the property yet, have they?

- No, not yet.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Well, that explains why your
mom was so upset yesterday.

- Yeah, she can't see
past Billy's wealth

or who he really is.

- Really.

- For starters, he's an
egotistical entitled little...

Oh, I don't know why
I'm telling you this.

I'm hijacking our
whole conversation.

Tell me about you.

The Harland Sanders story.

- Well, I'd like to think

it hasn't been fully
written just yet,

but if I were the author of it,

I'd have a chapter in there
about my secret recipe,

changing the world.

- Oh, secret recipe,
how mysterious.

- And then what?

What's the next chapter about?

- First, you don't
answer my proposal

and now you're not
answering my calls.

- Sorry Billy, I
just need some time.

- You humiliated me, rejecting
me in front of my parents.

- Oh, take it easy

- Who the hell are you?

- Harland Sanders, the new chef.

- Beat it crouton, get
back to the kitchen

and let me and my fiance...

- Billy stop.

- Jessica, you know we're
meant to be together.

Don't turn this into the
biggest mistake of your life.

- Don't call me crouton.

- What's up? I'm
about to go on a date

with that guy I met at
the farmer's market.

- Oh right, I forgot about that.

- Yeah, we're meeting
at his country club.

I'm literally sitting
in my car right now

and trying to get
country club ready.

So, did you decide what
you want to do about Billy?

- No, not yet.

Wanna hear something crazy?

I think I'm falling for
the new chef Harland.

- ooh.

- We have this connection.

I can't explain it.

He's so compassionate and
handsome and ambitious.

He told me he has
a secret recipe

that's gonna change the world.

And you knows something,
I believe in him.

- Damn, I don't think I've
ever heard you this happy.

- I know, but what do I do?

My mom needs me to marry Billy.

I've seen the bills Lee.

It's really bad.

And what should I do?

Should I leave
Billy for Harland?

- Well, the heart wants
what it wants Jess,

but listen, I gotta
run to this date.

I will talk to you later
and tell you all the deeds.

- Have a great day.

I'm wanna hop in the shower.

- Love you, mwah.

- Bonnie, is Jessica with you?

- No, she doesn't know I'm here.

I have some troubling news.

Jessica is falling for
Harland Sanders of all people.

- Harland.

The cook.

You still are crazy
bunster, I'll give you that.

- I'm serious Billy.

I heard Jessica
going on about him,

like a school girl in love.

And if that isn't absurd
enough, Harland claims

to have some secret recipe,

that'll make him a
man of great repute.

- A secret recipe,

Spare me.

- We all have our
secrets, Billy.

You remember our long
weekend in the vineyard?

- How could I forget.

- If you marry my daughter,

I promise there'll be more
long weekends in your future.

As many as you want

- I'll take care of this.

Knock, knock, anyone home?

Secrets out chicken man.

- You can save yourself
the trouble Billy,

Jessica is it here.

- No no see, you're just
the one I'm looking for.

- Oh, all right.

What about?

- I've come to
make you an offer.

- Sorry?

- You're gonna make me
explain this aren't you?

How much to leave Jessica
alone and skip town.

- Sorry pal I'm not
interested in your money.

Oh, that's right, I forgot
you don't need money.

You have a life-changing
secret secret recipe.

Oh, come on.

Where's your sense of humor?

Let me guess you're upset
because she said yes.

- Oh no.

She didn't tell you.

Did she?

Do yourself a favor pal.

Take the check and get lost.

Merry Christmas.

- Where's Jessica?

- Please, so nice to see you.

- Jessica.

Jessica.

- I'm afraid she's just
run out to get a new phone.

Seems she lost hers, so strange.

Something I can help you with?

- I saw you and
Billy at the club,

you had your hands all over him.

- That's ridiculous.

Billy was rightfully upset
about the botched proposal.

I was merely consoling him.

- I know what I saw,
and I'm telling Jessica.

Jessica.

Jessica.

- Lee it's me again, I
haven't had a phone for a day,

so I don't know if you've
been trying to reach me.

Anyway, call me
when you got this.

Hey, I was just
thinking about you.

- Look, I know you
already made up your mind,

but I'd appreciate it
If you told your fiance,

I can't be bought off.

- What is this?

- Where did you get this?

- And my plan, my secret recipe,

that I'm supposed
to stay between us.

- I never told him about that.

Harland what's going on?

- Never mind, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't be
bothering you with this.

I hope you and your
fiance are happy.

- Harland Wait, stop.

What are you talking about?

I never said yes.

I don't want Billy.

I want you.

- Billy, we have a problem.

- Mom, I have to
tell you something.

- Oh?

- I can't marry Billy.

I was talking to
Harland last night and..

- Harland?

- Yes, Harland.

Is the thought of me with
someone that makes me happy

so awful to you?

- No, no.

It's just Harland left dear.

He's gone.

- What do you mean he is gone?

- Late last night in
a hurry It seemed.

I thought you knew.

- Hello?

Harland.

Billy what the
hell are you doing?

- Getting rid of
this low life.

He's ruining everything.

- Billy

- Thank God.

Billy has gone crazy

Lee's escaped.

- What do you mean
Lee's escaped?

- Just kill him already.

- Mom?

- You should have
accepted my offer

and get lost when
you had the chance.

- Billy stop.

Billy stop.

- This is all your fault.

- Are you okay?

- Harland.

- To the next chapter.

- Harland Sanders, you
may now kiss the bride.

- You have a visitor
today Mrs. Mancera.

- Hello Bunny.

- Well?

- I found them.
