Cup of Love (2016) - full transcript

Zoe Walker is a food scientist who's been sent to Colombia to design a coffee flavor that appeals to millennials. In the village of Salento, Zoe meets Diego Valdez, a local plantation owner who is reluctant to work with her at first, but allows Zoe to use his coffee beans so long as she helps him with the final harvest. As Zoe spends time working the land with Diego, romance begins to brew despite their very different roots.

Three hundred one...

three hundred two...

three hundred three...

three hundred four--

-[exclaims]

-[Man] Sorry.

Come on! Oh, no!

[screams]

Oh!

[Woman] Are you okay?

Sorry. Yes, I'm fine.

Aw, man!

[Man] Excuse me.

Excuse me, everyone.

The Flavor of the Year

is about to be announced.

Star Kreme-ers,

this is a pre-recorded message

from South by Southwest.

As you all know,

there is nothing more

synergy-inducing and cool

than corporations

and music coming together.

It was a huge success

this past--

[audio cracking]

It was a huge--

-[audio crackling]

-Damn it! You morons!

Just open the damn door.

[Segway wheels squeaking]

Hey, Mr. Gobbs.

The merger of science and food

has always inspired me.

It's what makes Star Kreme

the world's largest coffee

and donut company.

Now, as everyone knows,

every year,

we issue a new flavor,

from Pumpkin Fizz

to Green Tea Mocha Donut.

And today...

Today, I am proud to announce

our newest flavor to the family.

Cinnalicious!

Zoe Walker's cinnamon bun

flavored mochaccino.

[applause]

[cheering]

This is such an honor.

I never dreamed

this could be possible.

But after long hours in the lab

and extensive market analysis,

I can confidently say

that this is

statistically guaranteed

to be our most

popular flavor ever.

[applause]

Okay, Kreme-ers,

back to creating.

-Mr. Gobbs, thank you so--

-Don't talk.

I learned many things

at that music festival,

like how Millennials

care about the story

behind their food.

The farm where

their kale is grown,

the Portland collective

where their bullshit

chia seed jam was made.

You see what I'm saying?

Oh. Well, uh...

I guess the story

for Cinnalicious is

that it was... made in a lab

and based on a focus group.

Exactly, which is

why it will fail.

Look...

I know things

have been difficult

since Carl left.

God, he was brilliant.

[muttering]

At stealing.

But since last year's

Carrot Cake Latte debacle...

Go back to work.

Back to work.

Star Kreme will not survive

another flop.

Don't worry, sir.

Cinnalicious is bound

to hit every demographic.

Not with freeze-dried

coffee crystals.

No, no, no, we're gonna use

real beans from a real farm.

Something natural,

something hand-picked.

But isn't that more expensive?

I want you to scout

the warehouses in Medellín.

I want you to find a company

that believes in its products.

Something interesting,

something real, something...

Look at me.

Something...

with a story behind it.

Yeah, sorry. You want

to send me to Colombia?

You impress me with this one,

and you could run your own lab.

I must ride now.

No, no.

[chuckles] I wish

I could just take my lab coat.

Oh, why not?

Passport.

[sighs]

It's my turn now, asshole.

[Colombian music playing]

My family has been in Colombia

since the good old days,

and I can personally

assure Star Kreme

the largest quantities

for the lowest price.

But is there a story

behind this place

or the beans?

Well, you're not just looking

at Colombian beans.

Our company is

more of a loading dock.

We carry beans from all over,

Peru, Brazil, Venezuela.

Peru...

There's a lot

of environmental damage

in those countries.

[chuckles] This is how

we can keep up with the demand

of companies such as Star Kreme.

Everyone wins.

Your test samples, as requested.

Thank you.

What is-- Is that mold?

I can assure you

our beans carry the same flavor

as any generic

grocery store brand.

We took the liberty

of brewing you some coffee.

-Thank you.

-Enjoy.

Aromatic quality...

Medicinal.

Ah!

What is that smell?

Must be the smell

of our wonderful coffee.

No, it's...

It's coming from outside.

Thank you.

We will be in touch.

Hang on.

You haven't even tasted it.

I don't need to.

[inhaling deeply]

[inhaling deeply]

[sighs]

I can almost taste it.

[inhaling deeply]

Where is it?

That is the most

intoxicating scent.

Would you like

your fortune read?

Sure.

An old Turkish tradition.

I thought we were in Colombia.

Coffee, my dear, is everywhere.

Wow.

Only drink from one side

of the cup.

I think I'm gonna need

to sit down.

That is incredible.

No, it's transcendent.

Make a wish.

My own lab.

Oh, my!

You're going to go

in a long, long journey.

Let me guess. Back to America?

Your wish will come true.

If you tell me

where to get these beans,

my wish really will come true.

Okay, but it's quite a story.

Perfect!

Deep in the jungle,

where the humming birds sing

and the jaguars sleep,

is a place.

Only here will you find

these treasured beans.

Many have come

seeking the black gold

for themselves,

but all have been turned away.

We are still talking

about coffee, aren't we?

Yes, the best coffee.

Organic, all-natural.

Straight from farm to cup.

"From farm to cup."

Gobbs will love that.

But the farm is in trouble.

It's been plagued

by death, ill-fortune...

lost love.

I can help. My company can help.

Great coffee and a great story.

But who? What? Where?

[speaking Spanish]

The Dancing Goat

Coffee Plantation...

in the heart of San Vicente.

San Vicente.

You will find Diego Valdez.

Diego Valdez.

Just one bus to San Vicente?

Uh... Uh... [speaking Spanish]

[speaking Spanish]

Oh, okay.

Watch out!

[grunts]

Okay.

Gracias.

-Come on, Gobbs. Pick up.

-[telephone ringing]

[Gobbs on voicemail]

Leave a message to

G-to-the-O-to-the-double-B-S.

-[beep]

-Hi, sir. Zoe Walker.

Um, I've had to extend

my trip a little longer, but--

[telephone beeping]

Of course.

[speaking Spanish]

Oh, San Vicente?

Sí, San Vicente.

Okay.

Whew!

Okay.

Hola?

Is anybody here?

Anybody?

You! Hey, excuse me.

Do you speak English?

Um...

[speaking Spanish]

Sí.

I forgot how everything

closed so early in this town.

Oh! It's my first time here.

Uh, do you know

where the Dancing Goat is?

It's a coffee plantation.

They make the best coffee

I have ever tasted.

I'm a coffee buyer

from Star Kreme.

-Star Kreme?

-Yeah.

You're not gonna like this,

but it's, um,

all the way up there.

Hmm.

No, you've gotta be kidding me.

-Up there?

-Mm-hmm.

And first, you have

to cross the river.

River?

[Zoe] Oh!

Don't worry.

No piranhas at the moment.

[laughs]

Um, but-- Excuse me.

Is the bridge safe?

[speaking Spanish]

"So-so."

Come on.

[Zoe]

Oh, wow! It's moving.

[Bridge Guard]

It's a bridge.

[breathing heavily]

Come on, Zoe.

Don't...

Don't be ridiculous.

Okay.

[whimpering]

-[goats bleating]

-What the...

Oh, no! Um...

-[speaking Spanish]

-[telephone ringing]

-You have got to be kidding me.

-[speaking Spanish]

Hi, Mr. Gobbs.

-[Gobbs on telephone]

Hello? Zoe, hello?

-[exclaiming]

-[speaking Spanish]

-[exclaiming]

One moment, Mr. Gobbs.

No! Don't... No!

-[Gobbs on telephone]

Hello, Zoe?

-Oh, yes! Yes! Thank you.

[Bridge Guard]

You really should never run--

I have to get my phone!

It's over there.

It's over there.

[Gobbs on telephone]

Zoe? Hello? Are you

taking a shower or something?

Stay there. Stay there.

Yes! Oh, god! Damn it!

Okay.

[Gobbs on telephone]

Hello?

No. No, come here.

Come here. No!

[Gobbs on telephone]

You're really--

[indistinct Gobbs on telephone]

[exclaims]

No! No!

Oh, no! Oh, god!

Why is it so warm?

Okay, where are you?

Come on.

Yes! Yes! Yes.

No! Aw, you gotta be kidding me.

When I get my own lab,

I'm gonna design water.

[laughs]

Water has already been invented.

And when I get my own lab,

it's gonna be air conditioned.

The Dancing Goat.

We're here.

-The Dancing Goat!

-Yes.

Thank you.

And thank you.

Let's buy some beans.

Hello?

Hola?

Is anybody here?

-[insect buzzing]

-Oh!

[exclaiming]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

No! No! No! [exclaims]

Okay.

Oh, gross!

[Man]

The shelter is in town.

Hi.

I just got here.

Okay. Well, you can stay tonight

in the barn.

But the last mendigo

tried to steal our donkey,

so please don't get any ideas.

Believe me.

I don't wanna see a donkey...

Hey, I'm not homeless!

No, I've come to talk

to Diego Valdez.

Oh, sure.

And what do you want

with Diego Valdez?

Oh. Sorry.

I don't normally

look like this or--

[sniffs] Oh!

I don't smell like this either.

I'm Zoe Walker.

I'm a coffee buyer

from Star Kreme.

[speaking Spanish]

You?

How did you get here before...

I left before you.

I took a plane.

You said I had to go

on a long journey.

Your fortune said

a long journey.

Tia, how could you bring

this American filisteo--

-Hey!

-...to my plantation?

Don't be so rude, Diego.

Hey, you're Diego Valdez?

Yeah. Yeah, and let me guess.

My aunt fed you

an El Dorado tale

about some magical plantation.

Normally, I would think

it was a scam...

but I tasted your coffee.

And it is the real deal,

so... So I came.

I would rather burn

this entire plantation

to the ground

than ever sell to you.

[sighs]

My nephew can be

a little dramatic.

Oh, my god! What have I done?

Remember.

Your wish will come true.

Which way to the barn?

I can offer you a room

much better than the barn.

I really appreciate

you letting me stay here.

I'm sorry about Diego.

He has trouble with change.

But, you know, old ways

don't open new doors.

Aw!

Is this Diego

and his little sister?

Well, I suppose

they do look alike,

but that's Olivia.

She grew up on the next farm.

Olivia was Diego's fiancée,

but that's all in the past.

I'm sorry.

No, things happen.

Listen, I really do want

to share your coffee

with the world,

but Diego seems pretty adamant.

Maybe I came on too strong.

I definitely wasn't

my most professional.

Tomorrow is a new day.

I let you settle in.

Maybe take a shower.

Oh, definitely.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Star Kreme! [scoffs]

More like Star Crap!

All the monstrosities

they come up with.

Hey, how about a Hot Dog Latte?

Wow! It sounds delicious, right?

Or a Waffle Macchiato?

Jesus!

Why not just serve flavored mud?

Oh, Tia.

Please, that nice girl

came all the way here

to buy from you,

and you turned her away. Please!

Nice girl?

Tia, who knows what junk

she wants to turn my beans into.

"Junk"? The only junk I hear

are the words coming

out of your mouth.

I'm very disappointed

with you, Diego.

You are a wonderful farmer...

but a pesimo empresario.

Yeah, you're always raving

how people nowadays

don't understand

the beauty of coffee.

This is your chance. Show her.

This is our last year, Diego.

I know that. You know that.

But it doesn't have to be

if you make this deal.

This girl, Zoe, is here,

and she can help us.

Yeah?

[speaking Spanish]

-[exclaims]

-Whoa! Oh, my god!

Don't you knock?

I suppose you've come

to send me to the barn.

Uh, no.

I thought you might be hungry.

Um...

This is sancocho de gallina,

chicken soup

with root vegetables,

my aunt's specialty.

Well... thank you.

Sure.

And, uh, I also...

wanted to...

make a deal.

Look, you caught me

at a very difficult time.

I will sell my beans

to Star Kreme, but...

they're not to be used

in any asqueroso flavors.

They must be sold as-is.

You know,

not all flavors are bad.

I mean, if we only knew vanilla,

we wouldn't know

the joys of chocolate

or Rocky Road.

And I for one

would not wanna live

in a world without--

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

My family didn't toil

under the Colombian sun

for six generations

to make Rocky Road.

They did it to make coffee,

pure, unadulterated coffee,

and that's the only way

I will sell it.

Okay, fine.

Look, we really value

your beans,

and Star Kreme would be honored

to be a part of that.

No flavors.

Star Kreme would be honored,

because Star Kreme

really values my beans.

Mm-hmm. Values, appreciates,

adores.

We can have the trucks here

by tomorrow.

We haven't finished

the final harvest,

and roasting takes time.

Oh, no, don't worry about it.

We'll do the roasting ourselves.

Roasting is

the most important part.

Oh.

I'll tell you what.

You can prove how much

Star Kreme appreciates,

values, adores my beans

by doing the final harvest

with me.

I must know my beans are

in the hands of someone

who understands

that coffee is not just

a simple beverage,

but an invitation to life. Hmm?

[sighs]

You will work from dawn to dusk.

You will pour

your sweat and blood

into the soil.

Blood?

You will fall in love

with my beans.

Okay, and how long

does bean-love take?

Oh, a lifetime.

But realistically, a few days.

So, you may bring your trucks

once you have made

the perfect roast.

I will think about it.

Fine. Think about it.

But if you're in,

we start tomorrow.

6:00 a.m.

[rooster crowing]

Wow.

Good morning.

So, do we have a deal?

We have a deal.

I will make the perfect roast...

or die trying.

This looks amazing. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, my goodness! Mmm!

I'm detecting banana,

strawberry, and...

mango.

It has a high

pulp concentration

and yet a sherbet-like texture.

Do you always talk like that?

What is

this most delectable fruit?

[Man]

Cherimoya.

Yeah, it's called cherimoya.

Mark Twain--

No, no, let me. Let me.

Mark Twain called it

"the most delicious fruit

known to man."

But, you know, I think it is

the most delicious fruit

known to donkeys.

I introduce myself.

My name is Jorge,

but everybody here

calls me Caturra.

And this... This is Peaberry.

Hi. I'm Zoe.

Sorry?

Zoe.

Zoe? What's that? A name?

No, we're gonna do something.

You call me Caturra,

and I'll call you...

Pelo Loco, okay?

-Okay, that sounds pretty.

-Yeah.

That means "crazy hair".

-Oh.

-[Jorge laughs]

He's very cute.

No, no, Peaberry...

Peaberry is a woman.

-[brays]

-Oh, I am so sorry.

-How would you like

some cherimoya, Peaberry?

-Oh, come on.

-That's it.

-Oh, she loves it.

Yeah, she does.

Good girl.

I think that's enough.

Eat up.

[Diego] First, you need

to stand on the soil

and feel the plants' energy.

Okay, ready? Good.

You will pick the entire row.

Only the red cherries.

And tomorrow, you will pick

the whole row again.

What? Why?

The orange cherries

will be ripe tomorrow.

I'm sorry,

but this is not

an instant blend.

Quality takes time.

It sure does.

Hey, you're the girl from town.

And you're the coffee buyer.

She spent the night, I see.

Here comes trouble.

[speaking Spanish]

Don't call her mula.

What are you doing here, Olivia?

I just got back.

I thought that we could talk.

Well, uh...

I'm busy.

I'm buy right now

with my new worker,

and we were just about

to start picking.

I should go, uh...

make a phone call.

You guys should talk.

Hey, you know, you don't have

to show me where the phone is.

I'm sure I can

find it by myself.

Are you okay?

She thinks she can just

show up after years and what--

Oh! Who is this little fatty?

What? What?

Oh. That's, uh, Jorge.

No way!

Gosh! You guys

have known each other

for quite some time then, huh?

My parents cared for him.

Oh, they cared

for his pet as well.

That's Peaberry.

Oh, wow.

Your parents sound incredible.

They were.

Okay, uh, make it quick.

We've got a lot of work to do.

[Zoe]

Hey, Diego.

Yeah?

I hope my presence

doesn't complicate anything

between you and Olivia.

Oh, it's already

pretty complicated.

[rotary phone dialing]

Need a phone from this century?

That would be great.

My room.

Oh!

[both laughing]

What can I say?

Diego's parents

really loved coffee.

I gather they're not

around anymore.

Yes, they passed away years ago.

Oh.

Diego and I are

the only Valdez left.

Ah, the memories still live on

in our hearts.

Oh, your phone!

[Zoe]

Oh, wow!

Or do you prefer my computer?

[Olivia]

Diego?

Diego, come on. Don't avoid me.

I don't hear from you for years,

and then you just

suddenly show up.

I'm sorry.

It was wrong of me

the way I disappeared.

I don't know what happened

to you in London,

but you cannot

just come back here

and expect everything

to be the same.

I've moved on.

It's her...

the coffee buyer?

Her name is Zoe,

and she's not just helping me

with the harvest,

but she is going to share

my coffee with the world.

[Skype call ringing]

-[electronic music]

-Oh. Mr. Gobbs?

[Gobbs through computer]

What do you think?

It's called Moroccan Boy.

It's the hot

tan shade this year.

I was not aware of that.

[Gobbs through computer]

Where you been, yo?

Star Kreme-ers need to stay

in Star communication.

I know. I'm sorry.

I'm in the middle of nowhere.

But I have exactly

what we're looking for.

We have a great story.

The plantation is natural,

organic, and legendary.

[Zoe through computer]

It produces the highest-grade

quality coffee, farm to cup.

[Gobbs through computer]

What did you say?

Say that again. What was that?

"Farm to cup"?

Holy shizer! That's brilliant!

How much have you shipped?

Well, they're

very eco-conscious.

They wanna make sure

the people buying their coffee

really appreciate it.

We'll ship as soon

as I finish helping

with the harvest.

Ingenious approach. Zoe!

Zoe, Zoe, you are brilliant.

Everyone is gonna

want Cinnalicious now.

This is gonna be our... our...

our El Dorado!

About that, sir...

[Gobbs through computer]

You're not worried

about that lab, are you?

-How did you know?

-[Gobbs through computer]

I haven't forgotten.

You just make sure

nothing derails Cinnalicious.

I want those beans ASAP.

Gobbs out.

Sir--

Sir? The--

Okay. Let's do this.

Man, this is going

to take forever.

Gee, I'm really loving the land.

Totally appreciating nature.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

[speaking Spanish]

It's all in the wrist.

Check it out.

My wrist technique is legendary.

I bet it is.

Do you want me to teach you?

It's very easy. Here, look.

You grab a bunch of beans,

you twist...

you push down

with your thumb.

You see?

And that's it.

I guess I could use some help.

-Yeah.

-Cool.

Here, um... try that branch

right there.

Aw! Cute!

Look at the little frog.

Aw!

I think he likes you.

-No!

-What?

God, that thing was, like,

the size of my pinky toe.

Don't worry.

That thing carries

enough poison on its skin

to kill 10 men.

How could you not have told me

that was poisonous?

I could have died.

I, uh, guess I forgot.

Forgot? That was crazy, Olivia.

Just the way you like it.

[speaking Spanish]

-[Peaberry braying]

-Why did you do that?

Peaberry!

Come on. Peaberry!

No, no, no, no, no.

Peaberry, come on. Come here.

I am so sorry, Jorge.

I lost my best friend forever.

Okay, that's enough.

You, no more picking.

-And you...

-Hmm?

What are you even doing here?

Take that basket off.

Why?

I'm just doing

what I'm good at.

Uh...

Okay, if I'm not picking,

can I be roasting?

You will now learn to pulverize.

Come. Follow me.

Thanks for nothing.

[sighs]

Oh!

Is this where you murder me?

What--

Here is where I show you

the despulpadora.

You know, I feel really bad

about Peaberry.

And what is wrong with Olivia?

Donkeys are bred

to be with men.

She'll return.

And as for Olivia...

we have some issues.

I would like to apologize

for what happened there.

You know what?

Don't worry about it.

Let's just get through this.

What did you call this again?

The Dora the Explorer?

[scoffs]

The despulpadora.

Okay?

Excuse me.

Other farms use

a mechanical one,

but this is more selective.

You can actually see

which beans have been de-skinned

and which haven't, okay?

Watch it.

[grunts]

Oh, and it's a better workout

than CrossFit.

Ugh! Great.

Oh, hey, when am I

gonna be able to roast?

When you're ready.

All yours.

[straining] Oh, come on.

Why didn't I do more CrossFit?

Really?

A dart frog?

That was crazy, Olivia.

I don't trust her, Diego.

Trust? Oh, come on!

You tried to kill her.

Oh, come on.

Don't exaggerate.

Plus, I'm sure that Tia Juanita

has some medicine.

Besides...

it's natural selection.

[laughs]

But you know I'm serious.

There is something up.

What's going on

between you and her?

How could you, Diego,

from the great Valdez family

sell to a company

like Star Kreme?

and I know that you prefer

to burn this whole plantation

to the ground.

Well... maybe

you don't know me anymore.

Where are you going?

At least give me a ride.

So...

what happened to your motorbike?

I don't ride anymore.

That's not surprising.

[scoffs]

What's that supposed to mean?

Let me remind you that

you always hated having fun.

Some things never change.

Well, our priorities

were always different.

Looks like your parents

got new gates.

Would you like to stop in?

I'm sure that my parents

would love to see you.

Maybe some other time.

Sure.

Bye.

Hey, wait.

It was good to see you.

I know.

[breathing heavily]

Every part of me is sore.

[sighs] I can't feel my limbs.

If only I could feel my heart.

Dinner will be ready

en un santiamén.

I don't understand.

In a jiffy.

Jorge, please.

I'm just gonna...

sit here for a while

and just... relax.

Diego, I don't want you

to lose focus.

When Olivia is around,

you don't think straight.

And why are you being

so hard on Zoe?

Putting her to work

in the fields?

She doesn't know the land

or what's dangerous.

I'm teaching her

to appreciate coffee

and protecting our legacy.

But maybe I don't have

to sell to Star Kreme.

Maybe Olivia's return

is for a reason.

Please, Diego, open your eyes.

You don't need Olivia that way.

Tia, how do I know

if I can trust Zoe?

I know Olivia.

Then you should know

not to trust her.

Okay, do you think Ama y Apa,

who dedicated their lives

to this place,

would want to get involved

with a glorified

fast food chain?

I think su papa y su mama would

want you to be your own man.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Dinner is ready.

Shh!

Aw, man!

I gotta work out more.

Okay.

[sighs]

Sleep well, scientist.

Peaberry.

I have a cherimoya.

[braying]

Peaberry?

-Peaberry.

-[Jorge] No, it is I.

Sadly, it is only I.

I guess you were

looking for her too, huh?

Yeah. I'm gonna

tell you something

that maybe it could sound

a little bit crazy.

But even when I was with her,

I miss her.

Hey, I'm really sorry

about Peaberry.

No, no, no, it's not your fault.

It's Olivia.

She upsets everything.

What was I thinking,

coming here and farming?

I guess I was just so...

Desperate?

Driven.

I was going to say driven.

Ah.

Yeah, you're right.

I guess I was desperate.

I swore I would have

my own lab someday.

I just wanted to prove it.

Prove it to who?

To yourself or to someone else?

I don't know why

I let my ex get to me.

He's a liar.

He stole everything.

I know what it feels

to have your heart stolen.

Oh, no, no, no.

He stole my idea.

Ah! Ideas!

Ah, no, no, no. Don't worry.

You'll have more.

Okay, but lately...

Lately, I've just been stuck.

Look, you work hard

and with your heart.

That's something

that Olivia never did.

So, come on, Pelo Loco.

You're smart,

so use that.

Sorry. Zoe.

Where is everybody?

Gracias.

Okay.

Buenos días.

Hey.

What is all this?

Now, we don't have to waste time

lugging them downhill.

Okay.

What do you think?

Not bad.

By the way,

do you have any more rope?

Yeah, sure.

Show me. [giggles]

Check this out.

What are you doing?

Wait for it.

Hey, be careful.

This ladder is old.

Just a little bit more.

Okay.

Okay. There.

-[screams]

-Whoa! Hey. Hey. Hey.

Nice catch.

Um, my pleasure.

Okay.

All right.

Not bad, huh?

It doesn't use any more energy,

it's still using

your grandfather's device,

and...

it allows for the worker

to clean up a little bit.

[Diego]

Let's go.

Whew!

[exhales]

[grunts]

Good.

So, we have pick,

pulverize, wash,

and now, rake.

Rake?

No, when am I gonna

be able to roast?

Hey, in time. I promise.

[sighs] I liked it better

in the murder shed...

with the fan.

Some plantations use

a mechanical dryer.

But there is nothing better

than the beautiful

climbing sun, right?

Okay.

-Here, you try.

-Thank you.

Yeah, start raking.

[exerting] Aw, man!

No wonder you're so ripped!

I mean, from

an observational standpoint,

your biceps are

in peak condition.

[laughs] Okay, uh... Just, uh,

continue raking while...

[breathing heavily]

Wait a minute!

Excuse me.

Yes!

That's gotta be faster.

How do you do that?

-What?

-That.

Think like that.

Well, uh...

I guess I've always enjoyed

problem solving, being creative.

Just... I haven't had a big idea

in a long time.

What was your last big idea?

Well, I...

I invented the Glo-nut.

The what?

It's a colorful croissant-donut.

Well, that actually

sounds pretty good.

Yeah.

Everybody loves it.

You know what?

I think you're ready to roast.

-Finally.

-Yes.

Oh, it is so nice

and cool in here.

Not for long.

-Okay.

-No way.

You can't possibly

roast all those beans

on this tiny thing.

-Oh, no, actually--

-Whoa!

we usually use the machine.

But my father learned

how to make the perfect roast

over a fire,

and his father before that.

Before he passed away,

we used to stand here

side by side together.

And he taught me

to make the perfect roast.

Well, I am going to try my best.

Good.

So, put in only a smidgen

of beans, okay?

A smidgen?

Compared to a sack...

it's like three dollops.

[shakes beans in pan]

Stir the beans until

you hear a "pop, pop, pop",

just like popcorn...

which also came from Colombia.

-No way.

-Yeah.

Hey, by the way,

maybe Star Kreme wants

to make a Popcorn Cappuccino.

-Wow.

-Come on!

-What? No, I'm serious.

-No, you are not.

Ye-- Of course I'm not.

Okay.

So, I guess Olivia

is not around today, huh?

I don't know.

You must have missed her.

Well, uh...

her absence caused

a lot of problems.

We were going to merge

our two farms together.

[clears throat] Oh, okay,

so, you keep stirring

until the beans turn the color

of soil after it rains, okay?

"The color of soil

after it rains"?

What does that even--

Hey, where are you going?

To bring you more beans.

Mama Tia!

So nice to see you.

How are you?

Is Diego home?

Don't you "Mama Tia" me.

You broke that boy's heart,

and I had

to put it back together.

I'm here to make amends.

I don't know where he is.

You do not know where he is.

Um, do you mind

if I step inside?

Yes.

The color of soil

after it rains.

The color of soil

after it rains.

Yes! No.

Maybe.

I think.

-Uh-uh. Not quite.

-[exclaims] No!

No! I had it.

The ideal darkness,

the exact amount of oil.

What? What? Are you here

to poison me with

tiny little frogs again?

No, I came to apologize.

Oh.

Here. Wet wipes?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

I had some great times

in this place.

We used to get so hot...

The trick is to take the pan off

as soon as you hear the popping.

Yeah, I know.

Of course, you're a scientist.

That's right. I am.

What is it that you do?

Do you cure cancer,

or do you design

space shuttles, or...

Flavors. I design flavors.

Look, I really appreciate

you taking time out of

your obviously hectic schedule

to come teach me

how to fry beans--

Roast. You are roasting--

Yeah, in a frying pan.

You know...

those are my beans

that you're handling.

Really?

'Cause, you see,

I'm pretty sure

they're Diego's beans,

and I have been handling

Diego's beans all day.

[Olivia]

Oops!

-[Zoe] Oh, my god!

-[Olivia] I should go.

What is wrong with you?

Come help me put this out.

You can handle it.

You're a scientist, right?

[laughs]

Ugh! Unbelievable!

What the hell?

-She--

-No. Hey, you know what?

On second thought,

I don't wanna know.

Because, you and I,

we're going out tonight,

and we're going to have fun.

[Diego]

Zoe, you ready?

Yeah, sure. Coming.

-[Diego] Zoe?

-Yep.

Wow.

Hey.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

-There's a step there.

-Yeah, I know.

Hey, you look great.

Good. You look good.

Good and great. Goodly great.

Ready to see the real Colombia?

[music playing]

Whoa!

-Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

-[music stops]

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Tejo King has returned.

[cheering] [applause]

Diego, hey, it's good

to have you back.

We miss you.

Here.

Try it.

-The Diego shot.

-Oh, yeah.

-To fun.

-Fun.

Take your first taste

of aguardiente guaro,

and I'll tell you all about it.

Go ahead.

-Salud.

-Hey!

Now, we ready for some tejo?

-Any time. Let's go.

-Come on. Let's go.

Hey, come on.

[laughs] What in the world?

Come here.

I wanna show you something.

-Don't forget your beers.

-Oh, yeah.

-Here.

-Can I have that one?

-[laughing]

Well, of course.

-Thank you.

-Salud.

-Salud.

Watch this out.

Cover your ears.

-[exclaims]

-[all cheering]

-What just happened?

That was awesome!

-Huh?

-What just happened?

-Now, you try.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Give me this.

Hit the metal ring, okay?

Just hit...

Aw! Okay. Okay.

-You know me.

I never give up.

-Good.

-Wow!

-[cheering]

And so, to the Tejo King

and his queen.

Yes! Come.

That was so much fun.

-Yeah, right?

-Yes.

-[exclaims] Whoa!

-[all gasping]

You brought her to our place?

Excuse me? "Our place"?

This is the only bar

in town, Olivia.

[laughs nervously]

Did you know

she was gonna be here?

What? No. No, of course not.

I thought you were

working so hard that

you deserved a little fun,

because I'm a fun guy.

Yeah.

Do you really wanna

have fun, hmm?

-Come on, scientist.

You and me.

-Fun guy.

[whistles]

Let the tejo begin.

-[gun fires]

-Whoa! Whoa!

No! Whoa! Whoa! Is that safe?

Aw! Are you scared

of a little danger?

No way.

Everyone, look at this.

[cheering]

Time out.

-Yes!

-[cheering]

Come on, baseball.

Don't let me down.

-[cheering]

-You quit?

Just like Kobe.

Winner, almost by default...

-[gun firing]

-Olivia!

[Olivia]

Who's the queen of the night?

[music playing]

[music stops]

I didn't know you could dance.

All Colombians can dance.

-Okay, my ama taught me.

-Aw, that's so cute.

Diego, don't forget

the tradition.

It's gonna be nice.

I thought you would

hate harvesting,

but you really put

your heart into it.

Well, you know,

I'm actually happy

you're making me do it.

You work in a lab so long,

you forget where food

even comes from.

I was kind of hoping

that this experience would

help me find a new idea, though.

Hmm. Like the Glo-Nut.

Exactly.

I was engaged too,

but he stole my idea

and started a whole

Glo-Nut empire without me.

I've seen you work, Zoe.

The next big idea will come.

Hey, I've never seen

a scientist work so hard

at farming.

[both laugh]

You know, at first,

I just wanted to get

the hell out of there.

But I really appreciate

everything you've been

showing me.

I think we're making

some really good coffee

together.

But honestly,

do you think Americans

will like the flavor?

Uh, yeah.

-Yeah, they'll like the flavors.

-Hmm.

Hey, let's get out of here.

Come on.

[speaking Spanish]

-Bye.

-Gracias.

Okay. From here, we walk.

It's not too far.

-You lead the way.

-Sure.

It's really nice

to see you so relaxed.

[Zoe]

I was just thinking

the same about you.

[Diego] Careful.

Oh, wow!

It's beautiful.

I know you have

only a few more days here,

And I don't wanna

complicate anything for you.

-But--

-Come here.

Oh, my god.

-Oh, my god!

-Oh, my god!

That's one way to close a deal.

What the hell are

you doing here, Olivia?

I won tonight,

so I'm here to claim my prize.

I should, um...

I should go?

No, no, no. No. No.

If anyone should go, it's her.

Get out of my bed right now.

Diego. Diego, please.

Calm down.

I miss you.

And, uh, I understand now

that we belong together.

For years, you were

all I could think of,

but you cheated and left.

Now, I need to be

with someone who I can trust.

I thought that we could talk.

[skeptically]

Yeah, talk.

Well, it's... It's late,

and it's very dark outside,

so maybe you can

give me a ride home.

You can have

the other guest room.

Okay. Fine.

I will sleep here.

-Hey, I'm sorry about that.

-No, I'm sorry.

No, you have nothing

to be sorry about.

Well...

it is getting late.

Zoe.

I had really fun tonight.

Me, too.

Oh, man! What am I doing?

[rooster crowing]

[wincing]

It's like my hangover

is having a hangover.

Okay.

I cut up some

of your favorite fruit

this morning.

Thank you. Um...

I don't think I'm ready

to eat just yet.

Uh, can I please use

your computer again?

Of course. Of course.

[sighs exasperatedly]

[Skype call ringing]

[Gobbs]

There's my Kreme Queen.

What's up, ladies?

Sir, I have to talk to you.

Peep this, yo.

Cinnalicious, the taste

be so licious.

Grab a cup. Suck it down.

It's so hashtag licious.

Hashtag delicious?

[Gobbs]

For the drink, yo.

Can you believe

no one has used it yet?

Sir, we can't use these beans

for Cinnalicious.

[Zoe]

The coffee farmer

who runs this place,

he's only selling to us

because he thinks we're selling

these beans as-is.

Now, these are hand-picked,

hand-split, hand-dried,

even hand-roasted beans, sir.

They're perfect.

And he didn't wanna see

such high quality be

bulldozed over

by one of our test-tube flavors.

No, but this is the flavor.

[stammering]

This is the Flavor of the Year.

Yeah, I'm sorry, sir,

but I have to agree with him.

We can't use these beans

for Cinnalicious.

I do wanna use them

for something else, though.

I'll go back to Medellín

and find some other beans

we can use,

but not these.

Absolutely not.

We launch next week.

We're already

running commercials

for these beans.

Oh! No! No! What have I done?

What if I don't get

these beans for Cinnalicious?

[Gobbs]

Then you're fired.

-Zoe.

-Hey.

-I have to tell you something.

-I have to tell you something.

-You first.

-Okay.

Um, I wanted to apologize again

for what happened last night.

And say that...

I'm going to miss you.

I don't know

what the future holds.

I know we'll be far apart.

But whatever happens...

I'm glad to have met you,

and I really hope

we can work something out.

I really hope

we can work something out too.

Really, really hoping.

-[sighs]

-Hey.

So, what is it

you wanted to tell me?

I am going to make

the perfect roast today.

[speaking Spanish]

Juanita.

[Zoe]

I tell him.

I tell him not.

I tell him.

I tell him not.

What--

Perfect.

[laughs]

The color of soil

after it rains.

The color of soil

after it rains.

Diego!

Whoo! Diego!

Diego?

Diego?

Diego!

Diego!

-Jorge, is that--

-[braying]

Peaberry?

You have been

quite the heart-breaker,

you know that?

I know someone

who is going to be

very, very excited to see you.

Caturra! Jorge!

Oh, yeah! Where is it?

Oh, Peaberry!

Oh, my baby!

I missed you so much.

Oh!

I missed your hips.

Look at this!

My baby!

What's all that?

I finally made

the perfect roast.

You?

Let me see.

Ah! Perfect!

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

You know who is going

to be very proud?

-Diego.

-Yeah.

Do you know where he is?

-Um, I think...

-Thank you.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Diego!

Diego!

Diego, I--

-[Zoe] Oh, my god!

-[Olivia] [mockingly]

Oh, my god!

I knew she couldn't be trusted.

So, this is what

my beans are destined for?

How could you lie to me?

I am so sorry.

I lied to you,

but I was going

to tell you the truth.

You're right.

Using your beans

in Cinnalicious

would be a travesty.

-But I think you should

do it anyway.

-What?

It'll save the farm.

Hopefully, I can talk them in

to selling the beans as-is,

or maybe you can find

another buyer,

but if not,

the Dancing Goat

will still be yours.

I know you don't want

that warehouse full of beans

to go to waste.

They're going to waste

right now.

Using them in Cinnalicious

is actually...

It's a good thing.

I'm just sorry

you had to find out this way.

I was going to tell you.

Say something.

Please, Diego, anything.

I don't need Star Kreme

to save this place.

We're getting married.

The engagement is back on.

We're going to merge

our two farms

as we always intended.

Diego.

You should go.

I already called you a taxi.

[Juanita]

Zoe? Zoe.

Juanita, I am so, so sorry.

No, don't...

We will miss you.

It's okay. It's okay.

[speaking Spanish]

[telephone ringing]

Hi, Mr. Gobbs.

I can't believe

you still have a landline.

Uh, sir...

I didn't get the deal.

[Gobbs on telephone]

I know.

I'm so, so sorry.

We had to push the launch

of Cinnalicious to source

another vendor.

Our entire advertising campaign

had to be scrapped.

You're fired.

Make sure you

turn in your badge.

Diego, Juanita, look.

Peaberry's not eating.

-What happened?

-I don't know

what's going on.

-Peaberry.

-Baby.

Hi.

She's not eating?

[exclaiming in Spanish]

-What?

-I think she's pregnant.

What?

She's pregnant.

-Oh, beauty.

-Oh, my baby.

Who did this to you?

Come on. Come on. Let's go.

Oh, my god. She's pregnant.

Eww, that ass is back.

-Stay away!

-I'm staying away.

Diego, change that face, huh?

I'm sorry she

hurt you like that.

Yeah, me too.

Now we just have to

look to the future.

You know, why don't we go

to my parents' house

to see the farm?

I'm sure they're gonna

love to see you.

Maybe I'll get a cat.

No. No.

I'm such an idiot.

No, I'm not an idiot.

I'm not an idiot.

Cherry skins.

Yes!

So, do you like it?

Well, uh, your parents

have made a lot of changes.

Let the tour continue.

Look, now what we do

is we just drop the beans

into these driers,

and that's it.

Now we have time

to do other stuff.

Other stuff?

Yeah.

What other stuff?

Anything that we want.

We're not tied to

this place anymore.

[sighs]

[inhales]

The perfect roast.

Please work.

Please work.

Yes!

You have barely said anything.

I've been thinking.

Mm-hmm, and?

And I think we are rushing this.

Why are you saying that?

Olivia, we cannot just pick up

where we left off.

Of course we can.

We will make it work.

The designer you left me for,

he dumped you.

Let's just say that

his preferred blend

was light and fruity.

Okay. Well, I don't want to be

anyone's second choice.

So, that's it?

What about the wedding?

What's going to happen

with the farm?

I've decided to sell

to Star Kreme.

For Cinnalicious?

You're not going to be able

to sleep at night.

They can use the beans

for whatever they want.

I don't care.

I can always grow more.

So you're finally sacrificing

the famous Valdez pride

for money?

You will never understand.

No way.

Oh.

Oh, my gosh.

Yes!

Hmpf.

[speaking Spanish]

Tia, get Siri on your phone.

I need your lap pad

to scan myself a plane ticket.

What? None of what you said

was correct.

Tia, as you say,

people make mistakes.

Mine was to let Zoe go.

Yeah.

Okay, so...

Mmm, that button.

-This one?

-No, the other one.

No. Yeah.

By the way, where's Olivia?

Uh...

-The warehouse is on fire!

Come on.

-What?

Wait.

Our beans!

Shit.

[screams]

[crying]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Tia.

Oh, my god!

I guess you cannot sell

to Star Kreme after all.

Olivia, what have you done?

Nothing.

Nothing. I'm very sad about it.

I want to help how ever I can.

Um, you know, uh, I still think

that I can save the farm.

Do you remember

what you gave me?

Of course I remember.

Well, you can give it

to your cell wife in jail!

Yes.

Yes!

Okay.

All right.

Uh, security!

Give me five minutes.

What're you doing?

You were fired, remember?

I've come up

with a million-dollar idea.

Make that

a multimillion-dollar idea.

Multimillion...

It's okay.

I... am listening.

-Taste this.

-Oh, no.

Last time a fired employee

gave me a drink,

I had dysentery for weeks.

No, thank you.

Lesson learned.

Believe me, if I wanted

to poison you, I wouldn't have

shown up in person.

Here, look.

All right, give me.

Effervescent.

Fruity.

Complex.

Invigorating.

This is the best artisanal soda

I have ever tasted.

No, it's not just

an artisanal soda.

It's an artisanal energy drink.

-Wait a minute.

So you added caffeine?

-No.

It's all natural.

It's made from coffee cherries.

It turns out there's actually

more caffeine in the skin

than there is in the bean.

It is 100 percent organic.

That's brilliant.

Forget about turning in

your badge.

I will have your

new lab ready in no time.

I think this recipe is worth

a lot more than a new lab.

And the next flight to Medellín?

Perfect.

-Your plane ticket.

-Okay.

There's only a flight per day,

so don't miss it.

It lands at 2:00,

and then it leaves at 3:00

to Medellín.

Okay.

I'm very proud of you, Diego.

And I know su papa

y su mama tambien.

Go find her.

My passport.

[exclaims in Spanish]

It's good to be back.

Okay.

-I missed it.

-Missed what?

What?

I cannot believe you're here.

I was about to fly and find you.

You were?

I ended it with Olivia.

I want to be with you.

I came to win you back.

I told Olivia

how I feel about you.

She burned down the warehouse.

-Oh, my god.

-Yeah.

I was going to

sell to Star Kreme.

I didn't want you

to lose your job.

But now...

I have to sell the Dancing Goat.

No.

No, no. What if I could...

What if I could pay you double

for your next harvest?

In advance.

Please, no jokes right now.

I am serious.

Now, you sell us

the coffee beans

and the cherry skins.

We're going into production

on the world's first ever

artisanal energy drink.

I named it Peaberry's Secret.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'm going to tell you something.

If you hurt her,

I'm gonna make longaniza

from you, okay?

I know it was you.

Hm.
