That's it.
I got it... I got it.
Ya got what, Dad?
- Ow! Cazzo
What'd you expect? It's cappuccino.
I wanted to see how deep the foam was.
Well, now you know.
Oh! That’s the biscotti.
I’ve figured it out. I’ve got the answer.
Got the answer to what, Dad?
The answer to our survival.
Every day a new ethnic
restaurant opens on the block.
That’s what people want. Variety.
So, we’ll give it to them all in one place.
Another cockamamie scheme?
You know how well your
Cajun Greek fusion menus went over.
My mistake was combining them.
This is different.

Indian?
Cudicini’s becomes an Indian restaurant?

Lewis! Francine Walters here ..
Listen, I wanted to triple check
on the flower arrangements –
you’ve ordered white, not blue, hydrangea, yes?
And white French tulips?
No, no. No baby’s breath.
God how gauche.
Lewis ... You won’t believe
where Sherri’s dragged me?
Zoya for Brides ...
You’ve heard of it?
Chic?
Only in New York would you find a little hole in the wall
shop selling dresses that cost almost as much
as an Oscar de la Rente original...
alright, alright, you’re right.
Sherri is worth it.

Do you want to hear your wedding present?
No. Not without Brandon.
I put down a deposit on a fabulous condo
for you and your fiancé.
You did?
Where?
Eighty ninth and Lex.
In your building?
No .. Mom, no.
You know that Brandon and I have been looking for lofts in Dumbo.
Where?
Dumbo. It’s in Brooklyn.
Oh, my God.
No.
In our building you’ll be safe ...
and you’ll have a built in babysitter.
Look, I have it all figured out –

Basmati rice and saffron
and .. Turmeric and ginger root .. And
tchotchke’s for the tables -
Buddhas and Eiffel Towers and Taj Mahals.
Indian night at Cudicini’s begins next Monday.
What? No!
We’ll turn every dish into a curry dish, Little Harry.
Bolognaise curry, Milanese curry,
Veal parmesan curry ---
No!
Relax, kid, it’ll be fun.
Wait. I need to talk to you NOW.
- Non ora.
Later. Later. I’ve got a lot to do.
- Dad. Stop ...
I’m on the short list for a job as sous chef
at Felidia.
Felidia?
What the hell are you saying?
I’m on the short list at Felidia ...
You know. Lidia Bastianich's restaurant on 58th Street …
Yeah, yeah, I know who she is ...
That's not the point.
I've been trying to tell you for ages.
I want to be a real chef with proper training.
What? Cooking lunch and
dinner every week for over ten years isn’t proper training?
No. Not real training, Dad.
What’re you? A traitor?
Traitor, Dad? You don’t mean that.
I goddamn do mean that.
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
Just listen to me.
♫ WHY DO I WORK SO HARD AND
♫ SEEM TO GET NOWHERE?
♫ WHY DOES MY LIFE LOOK LIKE A PILE OF CRAP?
Dad, would you just listen to me?
♫ YOU MIGHT THINK I WAS A BUM
♫ BUT I'M NOT
♫ I WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE
♫ AND FOR WHAT?
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
This is a really big opportunity.
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
♫ FOR THE NAME
♫ I DO IT FOR THE FAMILY NAME
♫ I FIGHT … I STAY IN THE GAME
♫ WHY?
♫ FOR THE FAMILY NAME
I’m tired of being a short order cook.
A short order cook? What is this, a diner?
Ok, then. A red sauce cook.
You know what I’m talking about.
Cudicini’s isn’t good enough for you, huh?
All those phony celebrity chefs
fill your head with dreams.
Top chef ... Top Italian chef ...
Top bullshit chef ...
Next thing you’ll be wanting your own TV show.
♫ AT LEAST I DREAM. SO WHAT?
♫ I WANT TO EXPLORE
♫ I WANT MORE
♫ EVERYTHING YOU DO
♫ EVERYTHING YOU DREAM
♫ EVERYTHING YOU WANT
♫ IS STUCK INSIDE THESE WALLS
♫ YOUR DAD DID IT
♫ YOU DO IT …
♫ NOW YOU WANT ME TO DO
♫ THE SAME THING
♫ IN THE THE SAME PLACE
♫ TRYING OUT ANOTHER FREAKIN’ CRAZY IDEA
♫ YOU’RE RIGHT I CAN’T DO IT
♫ AND I WON’T
♫ AND WHY WOULD I?
♫ WHY SHOULD I?
♫ LITTLE HARRY DANTE CARLO CUDICINI ...
♫ YOU DO IT
♫ FOR THE FAMILY NAME
♫ YOU THINK I'M A JOKE
♫ WELL, MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT
♫ TOTALLY BROKE
♫ WORKING MY BONES TO KEEP
♫ THIS BUSINESS ALIVE
♫ TRYING TO BE STRONG
♫ TO KEEP THIS THING MOVING ALONG
♫ LONGER THAN ME
♫ THAT'S ALL I WANT
♫ NO MORE
♫ NO LESS
♫ AND WHAT DO I GET?
♫ A BIG FUCKING MESS
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
♫ WHY?
So ...
when do I start looking for your replacement?
It’s a long shot anyhow.
Well if you get it,
at least you’ll give me notice, right?
Dad. Try to understand.
Oh, yes. Capisco!
I understand alright.
Boy, do I understand.
You think you’re such an ‘artiste’ ...
If I hadn’t given you a job,
you’d be dunking fries in
week old oil at Micky D’s.
I need a break.
Hello. Hey Suzy, what’s going on?
Oh, no.
- What happened?
Brandon’s assistant says he canceled the menu tasting at noon.
Why?
- Why did he...?
He’s with an investor.
Well, it’s 11:30. Tell him to reinstate it.
Let me talk to him.
Where’d he go?
Where'd he go?
- With who?
- Beatrice Coviington?
- The model?
Wow, I didn’t know she was a client?
It’s fine we don’t need him for the tasting.
I do.
Thanks suzy, I’ll call his cell.
Hey sweetie, what’s going on?
They’ve been prepping all morning …
I’m interrupting your meeting ... in your office?
What?
Suzy said you that you left with
Beatrice Covington ...
Suzy lied?
- Suzy lied?
Mom!
Oh, you did leave.
See?
Then why did he say he was --
- Why did you say that you
were in a meeting in your office ...
no, I’m not giving you the third degree.
It’s not what I think? What do you think
I think, that you’re shacked up at some hotel with
that model?
No, I didn’t have you followed.
I was kidding.
Oh no.
No. No.
Of course it’s cheating.
You bastard –
He tried to say it wasn’t cheating because we weren’t
married yet.
How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me.
Sherri ...
Oh, God. Not now.
It’s The Four Seasons banquet manager.
I’ll call him later.
Take it.
Hello? Yes, I know.
No.
No need to reschedule.
The wedding is off.
Uh, oh dear.
You go take a cab.
I'm going to walk home.
♫ ALMOST A BRIDE
♫ ALMOST WALKING DOWN THE AISLE
♫ WITH THAT
♫ SLEAZY ASSHOLE
♫ BRANDON
♫ YOUR DAD DID IT
♫ YOU DO IT
♫ NOW YOU WANT ME TO DO
♫ THE SAME THING
- ♫ ALMOST WIFE
♫ IN THE SAME PLACE
♫ I CAN'T I WON'T
♫ ALMOST MADE THE BIGGEST
♫ MISTAKE
♫ WHY WOULD I?
- ♫ OF MY ALMOST MARRIED LIFE
- ♫ WHY SHOULD I?
God, I really dodged a bullet
You did?
- To think I thought he was a catch.
Who?
My asshole cheating ex-fiancé Brandon.
He’s been having an affair with Beatrice Covington,
the super model.
Ugh!
This is the worst day of my life.
I totally get it.
Oh, uh.
What’re you doing in this alley? Are you a thief?
Here. Go on.
- Please, no ...
Take it. I don’t want it.
- Please, no.
Then what do you want then?
I’m on a break.
I’m the cook at my dad’s restaurant
Oh, you're a chef?
- Cook.
You are?
I’m such a foodie.
What kind of chef/cook are you?
I used to make Italian food,
but that's all about to change... a new concept.
Every night a different menu.
Mondays - Indian. Tuesdays - Japanese.
Wednesday – God knows. Thursday – who cares.
That sounds weird.
Desperate measures for desperate times.
Business sucks lately.
Sucks, like it might close?
It’s not good.
That’s too bad. I was all set to give it a try.
I just got dumped.
I'm sorry.
Correction. I dumped Brandon because he…
Cheated.
Who told you?
- You did. "Asshole cheating --"
Oh...
Can I get you something?
Ativan, valium, xanax...
I’m not fussy.
Sorry.
What's your name?
Sherri Williams. What's yours?
Harry Cudicini.
Why don’t you come by after i finish up.
I feel like testing some new recipes tonight
and you said you’re a foodie.
Maybe you can tell me what you think.
Cool... Okay.
Yeah. I guess. Sure.
Why not?
I’ve got nothing better to do now that I’m not getting married.
Hey I'll buy the wine.
That’ll give me something to do.
- That's okay.
I got it covered.
- Oh.
Okay.
What time?
Eleven.
Okay. Cool.
See you at eleven.
♫ OOO …

♫ ARANCINE
♫ BEEF, PEAS, PLUM TOMATOES

♫ AND A BOTTLE OF PROSECCO
Can you believe I still live with my mother?
Yeah, well I live upstairs with my Dad ...
He still waits up for me when I go out.
You’re kidding, right?
- Not entirely.
We work together and we live together.
Oh God Harry, me too.
Right after I got my MBA,
out of the blue my dad
decided he wants to go move to Virgin Gorda
and live on a boat...
without us.
Oh no … that’s really sad
Yea it was.
Especially for my mother.
Not just his leaving, but he decided to take
whatever money they had in the bank
with him and leaving her to manage
their real estate holdings on her own.
Did she even know how?
Not at first.
She was in way over her heard.
So she begged for me to come home and help her out.
So, here I am six years later.
I get it.
Sherri, I applied for a
job as sous-chef at Felidia.
I should be hearing from her any day now.
Harry! That is
so, so brave.
It is, isn't it?
The timing's not great but
I need proper training if I’m gonna be a
four star Italian chef.
A four star chef.
I am so impressed.
Here’s to you.
If Lidia calls me back.
- Fingers crossed.
♫ GNOCCHI ALLA BAVA
♫ BUTTER, CREAM
♫ PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO
♫ DROOLING GNOCCHI
♫ AND A BOTTLE OF BIANCO
Ahh .. This gnoochi is amazing.
The sauce must be a thousand
calories per spoonful. What’s in it?
Cream, parmesan cheese, cream,
fontina, more cream -
okay. Stop … I don’t need to know.
Do you know, I think I’ve tried
all fifty varieties of pasta.
Try six hundred.
Shut up.
You're making that up.
- No. Google it if you like.
“600 types of pasta.”
Ha! Well, wikipedia isn’t always right...
Hey! You were going to show me a picture of your mom.
Oh...
She’s so pretty...
And so young.
She was only eighteen when she had me.
I don’t even remember her.
I was just a baby when she left.
You mean she just took off?
Well, she was just a kid herself.
Harry, that’s terrible,
not to have a mom,
or even remember her ...
She wasn’t ready for all that responsibility.
You were her baby. She abandoned you.
I was hardly abandoned.
Oh, my God...
I’m so sorry, I sound so judgmental.
Actually ...
it felt really caring.
♫ SALSICCIA
♫ CON PEPERINO
♫ CHERRY PEPPERS
♫ MUSHROOMS
♫ SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE
♫ AND A BOTTLE OF CHIANTI
I’ve never had such a feast.
I’ve died and gone to heaven.
You look pretty alive to me.
In fact I can see your heart beating
– thump thump, thump thump.
- Thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump, thump thump
Quit looking at my stuff.
Sherri, I told you Lidia’s my escape plan. What’s yours?
You mean, now that I’m not marrying ‘asshole”--
‘cheating ex-fiance’ -
I’m not sure ...
I’m good at what I do
but I don’t want to spend the rest
of my life collecting rents ...
I want something I can really
dig my teeth into …
back into my marketing skills ...
come up with some app .. Or some
product that people can’t really live without.
Like the George Foreman grill.
Oh, I can live without the George Foreman grill.
Okay,
well, how about
q-tips.
- Oh.
Zippers.
That’s it. The zipper. How did
we live before they were invented.
Buttons.
You’re impossible.
Seriously, I just need that one great idea
and I’ll be off and running.
Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?

It must be 100 degrees in here.
It’s the wine.
“It’s the wine.” Listen to you.
You’re a bit drunk.
- Oh, you think?
Oh!
- Oh!
Eww .. It’s all gooey.
I can feel it.
It's a gooey cherry. What did you expect?
Let me get that.
Huh? No. No.
Sherri, can I say something really truly personal?
That sounds scary.
Your fiancé was an idiot.
Having an affair with an actress –
Model.
When he had someone like you.
You’re smart.
Sexy. Funny. Warm.
Stop.
And me. I’m not exactly the cool
kind of guy you’ve been dating.
Poor Harry. You’re not that
uncool.
I mean,
uncool can actually be pretty
hot.
A kind of ...
sweet ... hot.
Did you just call me sweetheart?
- No.
Sweet Hot.
Oh.
- No, no, no.
Sweet is good.
Really good.
I so need sweet right now.
You do?

Ow!
Sorry … you did say pinch me.
You’re the kind of woman I never
in a million years thought would be caught
dead with someone like me.
Shut up.
I mean it.
Once news gets out that you’re
not marrying Brandon, you’ll be
swept off your feet by the kind of man that
deserves you and I’ll be history.
What’s that supposed to mean ...
...the kind of man who deserves me?

Ahh!
- Ahh! LITTLE HARRY: Ahh!
- Ahh!
- It's okay Dad, it's okay.
Who the hell are you? I almost had a heart attack.
Don’t worry. His heart’s stronger than mine.
Are you gonna introduce me, Little Harry?
Dad! Just Harry.
I'm Sherri Williams.
I just want to let you to know, your son
is the most delicious,
sweet, nice man on earth.
Really?
Dad, Sherri and I are engaged.
Engaged in what?
We’re getting married.
Married?
You never mentioned you were seeing
someone, much less serious.
When did you two lovebirds meet?
Yesterday.
Yesterday?
We met him in the alley.
He was on a break and
I was leaving Zoya’s.
Are you both out of your minds?
Take it easy.
He's okay. He's okay.
Dad, Sherri and I had a really magical date last night.
And I know, it sounds crazy, but lightning just struck.
Kaboom!
Kaboom?
It’s not like we’re getting married tomorrow.
Maybe in a year or so?
- Or two or three?
Ma che cazzo gli gira in testa! E impazzito!
My son is crazy!
You just need time to digest the news.
I hope it’s okay.
I called my Mom left a message for her to meet me here.
Here? Your mother's coming here?
Yeah. I wanted her to meet you.
I better get changed.
Can I, uh,
get you a cup of coffee?
That'd be nice.
- Okay.
Thank you, Mr. Cudicini.
Please, call me Harry.
What happened to your finger? It’s bright red.
Va bene va bene.
Burnt it yesterday morning ...
happens all the time.
Occupational hazard.
It’s going to blister.
Where's your First Aid kit?
This is silly. It’s nothing.
- You want it to get an infection?
Okay. But don't make a big bandage.
Here.
Now ...
Try not to get it wet.
You're a regular Florence Nightingale.
I took a First Aid class in high school.
You never know when it’ll come in handy.
Il sempre pronto
Can you teach me how to speak Italian?
I love the way it sounds.
Then maybe you can teach my son...
he’s not so interested.
Capisco perfettamente, Dad.
Now you're trying to impress me.
So speak Italian once in a while.
- I just did.
Coffee with biscotti, the perfect breakfast.
Mmm ...
This is amazing.
Crunchy but not too hard.
And really great flavor. What’s it? Ginger?
Anise ...
Hazel nuts or almonds?
Almonds.
Do you sell them?
- Sure, they're on the menu.
No, I mean do you
box and sell them.
Where’d you get the recipe?
- Oh ...
It’s a secret recipe passed on
from my great grandmother
to my grandmother to my mother.
My nonna. She was really tiny
so we called her Nonnina.

Welcome to the family!
Where did he go?
Probably to change so he can buy
some gift boxes for the biscotti.
Oh.
- Come to Indian night and buy
a box of biscotti.
Come to Japanese night
and buy a box of biscotti.
Does he know about Felidia?
I can see how that would be really hard for him.
I told him.
Are you saying I shouldn’t leave?
For you.
This cameo belonged to my mother.
Nonnina.
I love it.
- Ding dong.
- Mom.
Mom. Come in, come in.
What am I doing here?
This is Francine, my mom.
Mom, this is Harry. He’s a chef.
And this is Harry’s dad Harry.
Sherri, explain!
We have the most exciting news -
Harry and I are engaged.
- What?
Which Harry?
Little Harry.
Please. Just Harry.
Your daughter’s a real sweetheart.
And not just beautiful but smart ...
really smart.
Twenty-four hours ago
she was engaged to someone else.
To someone else?
- Yes.
She was engaged ... to another man.
She’s vulnerable, and totally reactive.
L’amore ...
it’s a powerful force.
Do you even know him?
I knew Brandon and look where that got me.
This time i’m trusting my gut.
Harry’s different.
I'll say.
Look,
I’m not asking your permission.
If you can’t get on board ...
we’ll elope.
- Elope?
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ TRA LA LA LA LA …
Elope?
I’ve been dreaming of her wedding
since the day she was born. Ah!
My baby,
my precious baby girl.
♫ HER PRECIOUS BABY GIRL …
I‘ll tell them she’ll be disinherited if
she elopes ...
but then, she’d actually elope
just to get back at me. Oh!
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ TRA LA LA ELOPE …
Why would she want to hurt me?
She’s my life,
even more so since Felix left.
And she knows how much her father hurt me.
Ewe.
We grew up together,
we went to college together,
we started a business together,
and then one day, poof,
it’s all gone.
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ LA LA LA LA LA …
He went on some mid life
crisis odyssey to Virgin Gorda!
You never know if it will last …
Sherri,
oh Sherri.
♫ HER PRECIOUS BABY GIRL …
♫ Why not give love a chance?
♫ (Why not give love a chance?
♫ Why not give love a chance?
♫ (Why not give love a chance?
Why not give love a chance?
Harry doesn’t look like a money grubber ...
He is kind of cute ...
And if he can cook.
You’re getting married next Saturday
at The Four Seasons.
The Four Seasons! What?
We just got engaged last night.
Maybe in a year or two --
It’s already booked.
- It is?
How? Sherri? Help me out here.
And You’ll honeymoon at The Ritz in Paris.
Paris!
- What?
That’s where Sherri,
my cherie, was conceived.
STOP! Mom,
What are you doing? Is it because of
the deposits?
I can explain - everything was already arranged.
Screw the deposits, mom.
- No, my darling.
That's not it at all.
Did you forget?

GO! PLEASE. Sherri and I need to talk. Alone. NOW.
Okay.
- I'm going back to the office.
Harry?
I thought my father was bad ...
your mom was practically
picking out baby names... planning our lives.
For all I know she wants us to move in with her.
No wonder your father left.
That was mean.
You totally blindsided me.
Sherri I can’t do this. I can’t.
Are you breaking it off?
Not sure it’s “breaking it off” after one night.
Breaking it off seems a little too, too .. Official.
We were engaged.
- That was your idea.
Don’t you dare pin all this on me.
- You --
Sure, I proposed, but I don’t remember holding a gun at your head.
- You... and you mom, and now my Dad.
You’re just plugging me into the empty groom slot.
You know i’m right.

Little Harry, Little Harry.
Get out here. Get out here.
You’re never gonna believe this. Some guy calls,
says he’s a location scout for a movie,
can they use Cudicini’s as a location.
Dad, I gotta tell you something -
- You won't believe what they're offering
$30,000 for three days.
That’s great, Dad. But listen –
- $30,000
I can pay off my back rent.
I’ll even have enough left over to market
the hell out of my newest plan.
Your newest plan?
Not just international, but a
vaygan international cuisine.
Vegan?
- Vaygan.
You mean vegan. And gluten free and -
Yeah. You know what I mean. It’s what everyone wants nowadays,
and it’ll be cheaper to run without meat.
Slap me five, kid. Slap me five.
I have a meeting with the tofu wholesaler
on Canal Street.
Oh, and that’s not all. I’m gonna put
Sherri to work starting a business with Noninna’s Biscotti.
Dad. Dad. Stop...
the engagement is off.
What?
Why? What happened?
It was all happening too fast --
Aw. Jeez.
Well ...
it was pretty insane.
Sherri’s a doll, but getting
engaged on the first date was the kind of impulsive
thing I’d be more likely to do than you, eh.
Like father, like son?
But the idea’s still good.
You can be in charge of Noninna’s Biscotti.
Do it any way you want, I’ll stay out of it.
Dad,
Lidia called this morning
and offered me the job ...
Me. Lidia chose me.
Ah, no.
Oh Hell,
maybe it’s time you find out what the real world is like ...
Get kicked around a little like everybody else ...
It’s been too easy.
Yeah,
it’ll be a good lesson.
And maybe you’ll appreciate your ole man more.
Dad, I do appreciate you. I’m going to make you proud.
Basta, Little Harry. Basta.
Just say, “Thanks, Dad.”
Thanks, Dad.
♫ IT’S A NEW DAY
♫ NOTHING GOES AS IT’S PLANNED
♫ NEVER DOES
♫ SO WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE KNOW …
Sherri! Stop.
Mom? What are you doing out here?
I followed you.
I was worried sick.
You came home and slammed the door and you wouldn’t
let me in.
The engagement is -
Off. I figured that out.
Please tell me it wasn’t all my fault.
No ... There’s blame enough to go around…
I know I can be a bit …
pushy.
You think?
So, here’s the deal, Mom.
I’m moving out.
It’s time for me to be on my own.
Okay.
And I’m giving notice.
I need to find my own thing.
Okay.
And Mom,
I’ll have children if
and when I’m ready.
Okay.
Okay.
What are you doing out here, anyhow?
I’m bringing the dress back to Zoya’s and
the cameo Harry’s dad gave me.
I’ll return the dress,
you return the cameo.
Okay.
Hey. Sorry to barge in.
I was looking for your dad.
He’s out stocking up on tofu –
soft, dried, fermented, pickled -
I came to bring him back Nonnina’s pin.
Please...
don’t forget to give him back his pin.
Don’t just stuff it in some drawer, it’s -
I got it ...
I will.
Tell him I’m sorry I never
got my Italian lessons.
- I will.
And tell him ... ciao.
Ciao.
Sherri ...
I’m sorry I was so unkind.
You were, Harry.
You really were.
- I know.
I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I panicked.
I know that’s no excuse.
No, it’s not.
What about “Kaboom?”
“Kaboom?”
I didn’t just imagine it...
it wasn’t just me.
- No.
You didn’t.

What? No!
We’ll turn every dish into a curry dish, Little Harry.
Bolognaise curry, Milanese curry,

No!
Relax, kid, it’ll be fun.
Wait. I need to talk to you NOW.

Later. Later. I’ve got a lot to do.
- Dad. Stop ...
I’m on the short list for a job as sous chef
at Felidia.
Felidia?
What the hell are you saying?
I’m on the short list at Felidia ...
You know. Lidia Bastianich's restaurant on 58th Street …
Yeah, yeah, I know who she is ...
That's not the point.
I've been trying to tell you for ages.
I want to be a real chef with proper training.
What? Cooking lunch and
dinner every week for over ten years isn’t proper training?
No. Not real training, Dad.
What’re you? A traitor?
Traitor, Dad? You don’t mean that.
I goddamn do mean that.
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?

♫ YOU MIGHT THINK I WAS A BUM

♫ I WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE
♫ AND FOR WHAT?
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
This is a really big opportunity.
♫ WHY DO I DO IT?
♫ FOR THE NAME
♫ I DO IT FOR THE FAMILY NAME
♫ I FIGHT … I STAY IN THE GAME
♫ WHY?
♫ FOR THE FAMILY NAME
I’m tired of being a short order cook.
A short order cook? What is this, a diner?
Ok, then. A red sauce cook.
You know what I’m talking about.
Cudicini’s isn’t good enough for you, huh?
All those phony celebrity chefs
fill your head with dreams.
Top chef ... Top Italian chef ...

So ...
when do I start looking for your replacement?
It’s a long shot anyhow.
Well if you get it,
at least you’ll give me notice, right?
Dad. Try to understand.
Oh, yes. Capisco!
I understand alright.
Boy, do I understand.
You think you’re such an ‘artiste’ ...
If I hadn’t given you a job,
you’d be dunking fries in
week old oil at Micky D’s.
I need a break.
Hello. Hey Suzy, what’s going on?
Oh, no.
- What happened?
Brandon’s assistant says he canceled the menu tasting at noon.
Why?
- Why did he...?
He’s with an investor.
Well, it’s 11:30. Tell him to reinstate it.
Let me talk to him.
Where’d he go?
Where'd he go?
- With who?
- Beatrice Coviington?
- The model?
Wow, I didn’t know she was a client?
It’s fine we don’t need him for the tasting.
I do.
Thanks suzy, I’ll call his cell.
Hey sweetie, what’s going on?
They’ve been prepping all morning …
I’m interrupting your meeting ... in your office?
What?
Suzy said you that you left with
Beatrice Covington ...
Suzy lied?
- Suzy lied?
Mom!
Oh, you did leave.
See?
Then why did he say he was --
- Why did you say that you
were in a meeting in your office ...
no, I’m not giving you the third degree.
It’s not what I think? What do you think
I think, that you’re shacked up at some hotel with
that model?
No, I didn’t have you followed.
I was kidding.
Oh no.
No. No.
Of course it’s cheating.
You bastard –
He tried to say it wasn’t cheating because we weren’t
married yet.
How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me.
Sherri ...
Oh, God. Not now.
It’s The Four Seasons banquet manager.
I’ll call him later.
Take it.
Hello? Yes, I know.
No.
No need to reschedule.
The wedding is off.
Uh, oh dear.
You go take a cab.
I'm going to walk home.

You did?
- To think I thought he was a catch.
Who?
My asshole cheating ex-fiancé Brandon.
He’s been having an affair with Beatrice Covington,
the super model.
Ugh!
This is the worst day of my life.
I totally get it.
Oh, uh.
What’re you doing in this alley? Are you a thief?
Here. Go on.
- Please, no ...
Take it. I don’t want it.
- Please, no.
Then what do you want then?
I’m on a break.
I’m the cook at my dad’s restaurant
Oh, you're a chef?
- Cook.
You are?
I’m such a foodie.
What kind of chef/cook are you?
I used to make Italian food,
but that's all about to change... a new concept.
Every night a different menu.
Mondays - Indian. Tuesdays - Japanese.
Wednesday – God knows. Thursday – who cares.
That sounds weird.
Desperate measures for desperate times.
Business sucks lately.
Sucks, like it might close?
It’s not good.
That’s too bad. I was all set to give it a try.
I just got dumped.
I'm sorry.
Correction. I dumped Brandon because he…
Cheated.
Who told you?
- You did. "Asshole cheating --"
Oh...
Can I get you something?
Ativan, valium, xanax...
I’m not fussy.
Sorry.
What's your name?
Sherri Williams. What's yours?
Harry Cudicini.
Why don’t you come by after i finish up.
I feel like testing some new recipes tonight
and you said you’re a foodie.
Maybe you can tell me what you think.
Cool... Okay.
Yeah. I guess. Sure.
Why not?
I’ve got nothing better to do now that I’m not getting married.
Hey I'll buy the wine.
That’ll give me something to do.
- That's okay.
I got it covered.

Okay.

Can you believe I still live with my mother?
Yeah, well I live upstairs with my Dad ...
He still waits up for me when I go out.
You’re kidding, right?
- Not entirely.
We work together and we live together.
Oh God Harry, me too.
Right after I got my MBA,
out of the blue my dad
decided he wants to go move to Virgin Gorda
and live on a boat...
without us.
Oh no … that’s really sad
Yea it was.
Especially for my mother.
Not just his leaving, but he decided to take
whatever money they had in the bank
with him and leaving her to manage
their real estate holdings on her own.
Did she even know how?
Not at first.
She was in way over her heard.
So she begged for me to come home and help her out.
So, here I am six years later.
I get it.
Sherri, I applied for a
job as sous-chef at Felidia.
I should be hearing from her any day now.
Harry! That is
so, so brave.
It is, isn't it?
The timing's not great but
I need proper training if I’m gonna be a
four star Italian chef.
A four star chef.
I am so impressed.
Here’s to you.
If Lidia calls me back.

Try six hundred.
Shut up.
You're making that up.
- No. Google it if you like.
“600 types of pasta.”
Ha! Well, wikipedia isn’t always right...
Hey! You were going to show me a picture of your mom.
Oh...
She’s so pretty...
And so young.
She was only eighteen when she had me.
I don’t even remember her.
I was just a baby when she left.
You mean she just took off?
Well, she was just a kid herself.
Harry, that’s terrible,
not to have a mom,
or even remember her ...
She wasn’t ready for all that responsibility.
You were her baby. She abandoned you.
I was hardly abandoned.
Oh, my God...
I’m so sorry, I sound so judgmental.
Actually ...
it felt really caring.

Quit looking at my stuff.
Sherri, I told you Lidia’s my escape plan. What’s yours?
You mean, now that I’m not marrying ‘asshole”--
‘cheating ex-fiance’ -
I’m not sure ...
I’m good at what I do
but I don’t want to spend the rest
of my life collecting rents ...
I want something I can really
dig my teeth into …
back into my marketing skills ...
come up with some app .. Or some
product that people can’t really live without.
Like the George Foreman grill.
Oh, I can live without the George Foreman grill.
Okay,
well, how about

Huh? No. No.
Sherri, can I say something really truly personal?
That sounds scary.
Your fiancé was an idiot.

Model.
When he had someone like you.
You’re smart.
Sexy. Funny. Warm.
Stop.
And me. I’m not exactly the cool

Don’t worry. His heart’s stronger than mine.
Are you gonna introduce me, Little Harry?
Dad! Just Harry.
I'm Sherri Williams.
I just want to let you to know, your son
is the most delicious,
sweet, nice man on earth.
Really?
Dad, Sherri and I are engaged.
Engaged in what?
We’re getting married.
Married?
You never mentioned you were seeing
someone, much less serious.
When did you two lovebirds meet?
Yesterday.
Yesterday?
We met him in the alley.
He was on a break and
I was leaving Zoya’s.
Are you both out of your minds?
Take it easy.
He's okay. He's okay.
Dad, Sherri and I had a really magical date last night.
And I know, it sounds crazy, but lightning just struck.
Kaboom!
Kaboom?
It’s not like we’re getting married tomorrow.
Maybe in a year or so?
- Or two or three?
Ma che cazzo gli gira in testa! E impazzito!
My son is crazy!
You just need time to digest the news.
I hope it’s okay.
I called my Mom left a message for her to meet me here.
Here? Your mother's coming here?
Yeah. I wanted her to meet you.
I better get changed.
Can I, uh,
get you a cup of coffee?
That'd be nice.
- Okay.
Thank you, Mr. Cudicini.
Please, call me Harry.
What happened to your finger? It’s bright red.
Va bene va bene.
Burnt it yesterday morning ...
happens all the time.
Occupational hazard.
It’s going to blister.
Where's your First Aid kit?
This is silly. It’s nothing.
- You want it to get an infection?
Okay. But don't make a big bandage.
Here.
Now ...
Try not to get it wet.
You're a regular Florence Nightingale.

Can you teach me how to speak Italian?
I love the way it sounds.
Then maybe you can teach my son...
he’s not so interested.
Capisco perfettamente, Dad.
Now you're trying to impress me.
So speak Italian once in a while.
- I just did.
Coffee with biscotti, the perfect breakfast.
Mmm ...
This is amazing.
Crunchy but not too hard.
And really great flavor. What’s it? Ginger?
Anise ...
Hazel nuts or almonds?
Almonds.
Do you sell them?
- Sure, they're on the menu.
No, I mean do you
box and sell them.
Where’d you get the recipe?
- Oh ...
It’s a secret recipe passed on
from my great grandmother
to my grandmother to my mother.
My nonna. She was really tiny

Welcome to the family!
Where did he go?
Probably to change so he can buy
some gift boxes for the biscotti.
Oh.
- Come to Indian night and buy
a box of biscotti.
Come to Japanese night
and buy a box of biscotti.
Does he know about Felidia?
I can see how that would be really hard for him.
I told him.
Are you saying I shouldn’t leave?
For you.
This cameo belonged to my mother.
Nonnina.
I love it.
- Ding dong.
- Mom.
Mom. Come in, come in.
What am I doing here?
This is Francine, my mom.
Mom, this is Harry. He’s a chef.
And this is Harry’s dad Harry.
Sherri, explain!
We have the most exciting news -
Harry and I are engaged.
- What?
Which Harry?
Little Harry.
Please. Just Harry.
Your daughter’s a real sweetheart.
And not just beautiful but smart ...
really smart.
Twenty-four hours ago
she was engaged to someone else.
To someone else?
- Yes.
She was engaged ... to another man.
She’s vulnerable, and totally reactive.
L’amore ...
it’s a powerful force.
Do you even know him?
I knew Brandon and look where that got me.
This time i’m trusting my gut.
Harry’s different.
I'll say.
Look,
I’m not asking your permission.
If you can’t get on board ...
we’ll elope.
- Elope?
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ TRA LA LA LA LA …
Elope?
I’ve been dreaming of her wedding
since the day she was born. Ah!
My baby,
my precious baby girl.
♫ HER PRECIOUS BABY GIRL …
I‘ll tell them she’ll be disinherited if
she elopes ...
but then, she’d actually elope
just to get back at me. Oh!
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ TRA LA LA ELOPE …
Why would she want to hurt me?
She’s my life,
even more so since Felix left.
And she knows how much her father hurt me.
Ewe.
We grew up together,
we went to college together,
we started a business together,
and then one day, poof,
it’s all gone.
♫ TRA LA LA LA
♫ LA LA LA LA LA …
He went on some mid life
crisis odyssey to Virgin Gorda!
You never know if it will last …
Sherri,
oh Sherri.
♫ HER PRECIOUS BABY GIRL …
♫ Why not give love a chance?
♫ (Why not give love a chance?
♫ Why not give love a chance?
♫ (Why not give love a chance?
Why not give love a chance?
Harry doesn’t look like a money grubber ...
He is kind of cute ...
And if he can cook.
You’re getting married next Saturday
at The Four Seasons.
The Four Seasons! What?
We just got engaged last night.
Maybe in a year or two --
It’s already booked.
- It is?
How? Sherri? Help me out here.
And You’ll honeymoon at The Ritz in Paris.
Paris!
- What?
That’s where Sherri,
my cherie, was conceived.
STOP! Mom,
What are you doing? Is it because of
the deposits?
I can explain - everything was already arranged.
Screw the deposits, mom.
- No, my darling.
That's not it at all.
Did you forget?

Dad, Francine, leave .. Please ..
We need to be alone.
GO! PLEASE. Sherri and I need to talk. Alone. NOW.
Okay.
- I'm going back to the office.
Harry?
I thought my father was bad ...
your mom was practically
picking out baby names... planning our lives.
For all I know she wants us to move in with her.
No wonder your father left.
That was mean.
You totally blindsided me.
Sherri I can’t do this. I can’t.
Are you breaking it off?
Not sure it’s “breaking it off” after one night.
Breaking it off seems a little too, too .. Official.
We were engaged.
- That was your idea.
Don’t you dare pin all this on me.
- You --
Sure, I proposed, but I don’t remember holding a gun at your head.
- You... and you mom, and now my Dad.
You’re just plugging me into the empty groom slot.
You know i’m right.
- Enough, Harry. Enough.

Little Harry, Little Harry.
Get out here. Get out here.
You’re never gonna believe this. Some guy calls,
says he’s a location scout for a movie,
can they use Cudicini’s as a location.
Dad, I gotta tell you something -
- You won't believe what they're offering
$30,000 for three days.
That’s great, Dad. But listen –
- $30,000
I can pay off my back rent.
I’ll even have enough left over to market
the hell out of my newest plan.
Your newest plan?
Not just international, but a
vaygan international cuisine.
Vegan?
- Vaygan.
You mean vegan. And gluten free and -
Yeah. You know what I mean. It’s what everyone wants nowadays,
and it’ll be cheaper to run without meat.
Slap me five, kid. Slap me five.
I have a meeting with the tofu wholesaler
on Canal Street.
Oh, and that’s not all. I’m gonna put
Sherri to work starting a business with Noninna’s Biscotti.
Dad. Dad. Stop...
the engagement is off.
What?
Why? What happened?
It was all happening too fast --
Aw. Jeez.
Well ...
it was pretty insane.
Sherri’s a doll, but getting
engaged on the first date was the kind of impulsive
thing I’d be more likely to do than you, eh.
Like father, like son?
But the idea’s still good.
You can be in charge of Noninna’s Biscotti.
Do it any way you want, I’ll stay out of it.
Dad,
Lidia called this morning
and offered me the job ...
Me. Lidia chose me.
Ah, no.
Oh Hell,
maybe it’s time you find out what the real world is like ...
Get kicked around a little like everybody else ...
It’s been too easy.
Yeah,
it’ll be a good lesson.
And maybe you’ll appreciate your ole man more.
Dad, I do appreciate you. I’m going to make you proud.
Basta, Little Harry. Basta.
Just say, “Thanks, Dad.”
Thanks, Dad.
♫ IT’S A NEW DAY
♫ NOTHING GOES AS IT’S PLANNED
♫ NEVER DOES
♫ SO WHY DO WE THINK THAT WE KNOW …
Sherri! Stop.
Mom? What are you doing out here?
I followed you.
I was worried sick.
You came home and slammed the door and you wouldn’t
let me in.
The engagement is -
Off. I figured that out.
Please tell me it wasn’t all my fault.
No ... There’s blame enough to go around…
I know I can be a bit …
pushy.
You think?
So, here’s the deal, Mom.
I’m moving out.
It’s time for me to be on my own.
Okay.
And I’m giving notice.
I need to find my own thing.
Okay.
And Mom,
I’ll have children if
and when I’m ready.
Okay.
Okay.
What are you doing out here, anyhow?
I’m bringing the dress back to Zoya’s and
the cameo Harry’s dad gave me.
I’ll return the dress,
you return the cameo.
Okay.
Hey. Sorry to barge in.
I was looking for your dad.
He’s out stocking up on tofu –
soft, dried, fermented, pickled -
I came to bring him back Nonnina’s pin.
Please...
don’t forget to give him back his pin.
Don’t just stuff it in some drawer, it’s -
I got it ...
I will.
Tell him I’m sorry I never
got my Italian lessons.
- I will.
And tell him ... ciao.
Ciao.
Sherri ...
I’m sorry I was so unkind.
You were, Harry.
You really were.
- I know.
I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I panicked.
I know that’s no excuse.
No, it’s not.
What about “Kaboom?”
“Kaboom?”
I didn’t just imagine it...
it wasn’t just me.
- No.
You didn’t.
Well…
