Rocky Road (2014) - full transcript
Harrison Burke is a trader at a prestigious Wall Street investment bank who's living high on the hog until a round of downsizing renders him unemployed. Jobless and in debt, Burke moves back in with his parents in a quaint New Hampshire town, telling them that he's on vacation. Burke's descent into humility continues when he takes a job at his father's "Rocky Road" ice-cream truck business, competing for his old route with a teenager. Oh, and he discovers that his former girlfriend is now dating his old rival. Eventually, as he settles in, Burke rediscovers the charm of home and learns how alike fathers and sons can be.

Is it risky? yes.
Is it going to get you that
vacation house in the Hamptons?
Absolutely!
You can save me the guest room

Gotta go!
Harrison burk
Grits my man!
Floor seats? Nicks? 8 o'clock?
I'm there!
Cancel my dinner and set up a
lunch with Jones and his wife
Five star, not four.
Mr.Price, good morning!
Yes, I'm in my car now, see you
in a few.
'Morning
Morning Mr.Burk

lose a few?
Not since yesterday.
Nicks, Celtics, right behind the
bench 32nd row.
Heh, right behind the bench is
row two.
Bring binoculars
and if Ashley shows up again
tell her I'm on vacation.
Gorgeous redhead?
Gorgeous blonde
you're nuts!
Nope, she is.
I'm telling you this is one of
the hottest deals I've seen
it is a winner! have I ever
steered you wrong?
Four hundred shares, baby steps
remember?
Oh! and thank you so much for
the juicer,
I'm using it as we speak.
I'm telling you buddy boy, it's you
and me all the way to the end zone.
Huge.
Yes, you and me buddy boy, all
the way.
Hold my calls Renee!
Mr.Price, is that a new suit?
No, but I can see yours is.
Thank you for noticing
Sit down Harrison.
Oh Sir, you know me, I'm not
much of a sitter.
Can't hit a moving target,
right?
Sometimes you can.
The Merger didn't go through.
You're kidding.
You're not kidding.
We're fielding other offers but
we feel we have to downsize.
Of course, absolutely, we'll
trim the expense account,
freeze the club membership, no
problem.
Problem.
Not the town car? I love that
car.
The car, the apartment and, it
pains me to say this, your job.
What? I'm your top guy, I'm your
biggest earner.
Well you're also the most
expensive employee in the company,
so it's kind of a wash.
Listen, before you push the panic
button, it's just temporary.
You know the game, ride the
highs in April, go away in May
It's June.
And you're gonna be right back where
you belong by the end of summer.
Take a vacation,
spend some of that Commission
money we've been paying you.
And, by the way I'm going to need
you to vacate that apartment A.S.A.P,
we've leased it out to the
London office.
Harrison, I hate to do this to
you, you're like a son to me.
Then don't do this... dad.
I've got to get this. I'll get
H.R. to help pack you up.
Georgie boy! what are you like
out on the first tee?
Okay pal, I'm on my way.
Yeah, I'll be there in like an
hour.
Colin, Colin! it's Harrison Burk,
I'm thinking about moving sideways
call me.
Mr. Hinds! Harrison Burk, we met
last month at the country club,
turns out, I am availablethe
position has been filled
watch that backswing buddy,
alright.
Listen, I understand that you're
his assistant,
but he was practically begging me
to join his company last month.
You know what? Forget it, thank
you!
Jonathan, hey, it's me, your
brother.
So I was just wondering if I
could crash on your couch
both kids are sick, wow. Okay
I'll just head to a hotel.
Give Bonnie and the rugrats a hr
me.
Alright.
Hey mom.
Harry! oh! oh my stars.
Ben! Ben, it's Harry!
Well well, look who's here.
Hiya Harry, what is it Christmas
already?
No dad, and it's Harrison.
You're still on that kick are
ya?
It's not a kick, it's my name.
Well as I recall, we named you
Harry after my father.
Harrison's better for business.
Never hurt my father's business.
He was a mechanic.
Honey, we're thrilled to see
you, aren't we Ben?
Yeah, yeah, thrilled. are you
staying at the hotel again?
Actually I thought I'd stay here
for a couple days,
maybe a week.
Is everything alright? are you
sick?
I just have a little overdue vacation
time, thought I'd spend it with you guys.
But you always go to St.Burts
St. Barts
St. Barts
You'd tell us if you were sick
right?
The boy says he's not sick.
The truth is I am sick,
homesick.
Homesick for both of you.
Let's get you settled.
What happened to my room?
Well, your brother...
The one that gave us the
grandkids.
The girls just spend do much
time here
we wanted to give them a home
away from home.
So we packed up your stuff and
we stuck it in the closet.
Oh, except I think the girls took it
out and made a little castle with it.
Oh they did! will you look at
that.
Isn't it cute?
Nice.
So where do I sleep?
You can use Sophia's bed, she
won't mind.
Oh really?
We'll tell her.
Perfect.
Aw, Susie Barns, such a lovely
girl.
Yeah.
You know she took over the old
gallery on Oak Street?
I haven't talked to her in eight
years.
I'm sure she'd love to see you.
I highly doubt that.
What's happening son? any
special ladies?
No.
Just playing the field are you?
I like to keep my options open.
I never understood why you broke
up with Susie.
We were in high school mom.
But you were so much in love, I always
thought you two would end up together.
You also thought I'd be an Astronaut
and President of the United States.
No I didn't, that's just something parents
say to make their kids feel special.
Right Ben?
I don't recall saying he was
Presidential material, no.
Well I'm glad we cleared that
up, I'll withdraw my nomination.
You know, if you'd just stayed here
like I said with the ice-cream business
who knows where we could have
taken this.
Look at Ben&Jerry, we would be
Ben&Harry.
You guys, please excuse me for a minute
I've got some phone calls to make.
You have to go out in the back yard,
we don't get reception in the house,
you have to go out by the swing
set.
Swing set?
Grandkids. come on honey.
Hey, Mr.Price, it's Harrison,
just checking in. Any news?
No, not yet, enjoy your vacation.
Where did you settle on?
Uh, St. Barts.
Harry, should I pack your
suitcase?
Same old Harrison, blonde or
redhead?
Redhead.
I've got something new for you
tonight, you're gonna love it.
Lucky man.
Gotta go!
Hey, I got you guys a little
something.
Oh honey we don't need more
presents.
Sure you do
Open 'em.
Okay. oh!
You alright?
Yeah, it's heavy.
A juicer, just what we need
Open yours dad.
Oh you didn't have to do that.
What's in here?
You know what it is? A shirt and
a tie, and a price tag.
You know for this kind of money I could
have bought myself a pretty nice T.V.
Okay, well I can wear it to
church, maybe even my own funeral.
At least you'll go out in style.
I hope everybody's hungry, sit
down boys!
Here we go.
Why is everything on a stick?
That's your mother's new thing.
It's fun, and you don't need
utensils.
Dinner on a stick.
Oh not just dinner, everything.
Name me one food that isn't
better on a stick.
Soup.
Don't go giving her ideas.
It's good.
Maybe after dinner we could all
watch a nice movie.
Dad'll put something on the VCR.
What happened to the Blu-Ray I
sent you?
I didn't get a chance to hook
that thing up yet.
It's put away.
Actually I don't know, tonight I
got a couple hours work I gotta do.
So maybe we do movie night
another night.
Hey.
Could you pass me the channel
locks?
Blue handles.
Forgot everything I taught you
Not everything. I remember my
old route.
You were one of my best drivers.
You should have stuck with that.
Yeah, think where I could have
been now, the ice-cream king.
There's worse things.
There are better things.
So how's biz?
Well, you know, summer's staring
school's out, the pools open
it's gonna be huge.
How many drivers do you have
now?
Well, not quite as many as when
you were last here with us.
Oh, did you see the new menu?
Ah, chocolate bomb pop, sweet.
Yup, that's a big one, that's a
big seller there.
When's the last time you raised
prices?
It's a small town, people want
value.
Doesn't mean you have to give it
away.
Get me the hammer will you?
That's the one with the wooden
handle.
I know what a hammer is.
Just checkin'.
Morning mom, coffee?
Decaf, caffeine keeps us awake.
It's daytime, you're supposed to
be awake.
Where's the new coffee maker I
sent you?
We're waiting for this one to
break.
You can pick up some real coffee
at the market.
And while you're there can you
pick up some oranges?
And antacids for your father,
there's a list.
Do I have to?
Did you make your bed?
No.
Then you have to.
Gotta make a move.
I see you've got your funeral
clothes on.
We're off to church, Reverend
would be thrilled to see you.
Some other time.
And when was the last time?
I've got calls to make.
It's Sunday.
Not in Tokyo.
Oh, you're doing business with
the Japanese!
Ohio, that means hello.
And sayonara, that means
goodbye,
you wanna be late for the
sermon?
I left you some breakfast in the
oven, most important meal of the day.
C'mon.
Alright!
Bye son.
Carl my man! just checking on a
rumour.
Iris said there was an opening
at Meryl?
Oh you took it, congrats.
Reverend: Nice boots
Wonderful sermon Reverend
Oh, thank you Marla,
you know I gave up my Gin night
to fine tune it,
I really like the way I took the
verses from the Corinthians,
and I contrasted them with the
vers
Harrison's home
Harry
You're kidding
It's an, uh, unexpected visit.
How wonderful, the prodigal son
returns.
We're worried about him, I think
he took the bus.
Maybe we can get him to come to
church
That's a good one.
We tried.
I'm sure it's nothing,
after all I have four children and
I never stop worrying about them.
Of course they come to church.
I can keep an eye on them at
least once a week.
I'll watch out for Harry.
Thank you Reverend.
Okay.
Hey! no running, stop that!
This church can't afford another
lawsuit.
Just get in there and tie
yourself to the pew.
Susie!
Susie: Harry?
You okay?
This isn't my stuff.
Oh no? not even the
marshmallows?
Okay, maybe those.
Last time you were here you had
a car and a driver.
Well I've gone green.
Yeah, and black and blue.
Well it's your fault you know.
If you weren't so good looking I
wouldn't have fallen.
Oh, haven't lost that charm.
Nah, just my dignity.
I'm glad you're here Harry.
Really?
Yeah, your mom's been worried
about you.
Oh. Wait, why?
She says you're alone.
I'm not alone, I've got people
around me all the time.
Well, she says you're having
trouble meeting a nice girl.
You having fun embarrassing me?
Kind of.
Well, sincere we're talking
about my mom,
which I wish we weren't,
she said you took over the
gallery. That's great.
Yeah, Thanks.
I'd love to see some of your new
work.
Oh you mean the paintings of
the, oh how did you put it?
The culturally barren wasteland
you call New Hampshire?
Did I say that?
And worse.
You kind of have a way with
words.
I was young and stupid.
I can see things much clearer
now in my old age.
Yeah, the "no glasses" look is
really good on you.
We should grab some lunch or
dinner sometime.
How Long are you in town for
this time? An hour?
A little longer than that.
Maybe there's a high school
dance we can crash.
I don't think so.
Oh, I guess I have lost my
charm.
You haven't lost it, it just
doesn't work on me anymore.
Well here, you can throw this at
an old picture of me.
I tore all those up.
All of them?
Take care Harry.
It's Harrison.
Judge, Jury, Executioner, !
Ah run to the left
Ah! Revenge is mine!
I am your master!
He's regressed back into being a
teenager.
We should have done this weeks
ago.
You live in my house you play by
my rules.
Laundry piled everywhere.
Harry!
One sec, I'm in the pass of
doom!
So are we!
Excuse me.
No! now I'm back to level Five.
You've been here for eighteen
days now.
That's all?
Well time goes slow when you're
a child.
This isn't a visit home is it?
It's an extended visit.
Alright.
I was laid off, temporarily.
I'm just waiting for word from
the firm.
So you're living here.
I wouldn't call it living.
What about your apartment, your
car, your savings?
Gone, gone, and what savings?
I don't understand, you make so
much money.
It's New York, Dinners, clothes,
vacations.
If you wanna be successful, you
have to look successful.
Haven't we taught you anything?
This is Wall st. dad, not Main
st.
Oh, okay.
Well this is the key to the truck
that sells ice-cream down on Main st.
If you're gonna be living here,
you're gonna be jingling that bell.
Not the paper hat.
Yes the paper hat.
Welcome home son.
Turn that machine off.
Where's the fleet?
Well, you're looking at it.
A truck and a bike.
Well all the other trucks are
getting kind of run down so,
gas is expensive.
I ordered some new ones but
apparently they've backordered so
You can't run the summer on a
truck and a bike.
Yeah I can.
Wow.
Yeah?
I love what you've done with the
place.
Well, it's functional.
So's an interrogation room.
I was just remembering
how I used to pick you up from
school in an ice-cream truck,
how you'd love that.
No one wants to be picked up in
an ice-cream truck dad.
I guess, except people who love
ice-cream.
What are you drinking?
Hot water and lemon.
Why?
Why? Because your mother saw
something on T.V.
that said caffeine's not that
good for you.
So now it's hot water and lemon.
Dry Ice first, ice-cream last.
I know dad,
'Atta boy.
Close the door, you're letting
the cold air out!
Hey, Mr. Price
Hey buddy boy
Any news on the merger?
No, no, not yet, what are you
still in St. Barts?
Hey, service is terrible can I
call you back in one minute?
Alright, ok you've got a minute.
Hey, I'm having a having a hard
time hearing you.
Mr. Price, Mr. Price?
Hello?
Cell phone reception is terrible
in the Caribbean, so listen.
Say hi to Becky at Le Tai for me
okay buddy?
Look you're not missing anything
here, the weather's brutal.
Have fun.
Oh, here you go, new extension
cord.
The upgrades keep coming.
And don't forget to plug in
'cause that dry goes and just
melts on you in this weather right?
I'm assuming the new trucks will
have generators?
Yeah.
Here's your co-worker, Razor.
You're late.
Sorry Mr.B I had homework.
It's summer.
Summer school.
No.
Who's he?
I was you once.
He's my kid, Harry.
Kid? He's like a hundred.
Thanks, and you're not in summer
school
you overslept because you were with
your friends all night at the river.
Oh yeah, look at your shoes.
Okay, alright alright, alright,
you got me okay, busted.
Alright I'm taking the A route,
you take the B route.
Woah, woah woah, hey hey, no, no
I got the A route wired.
Of course you do. The pool's on
the A route,
Stop for a swim, girls in
bikinis,
Maybe trade a few ice-creams for
a tavern burger?
You got the bike, he's got the
truck, have a nice day.
Oh come on Mr.B, look at him
I've got seniority.
Actually I do,
I've been here since '98 when
you were in diapers.
Harsh.
Hey! Put on your hat.
Put on yours.
Nice negotiating, that business
degree is really paying off huh?
That's who's representing you on
the streets?
We're selling ice-cream, not
mutual funds.
Does he even have a drivers
licence?
As far as I know,
I don't think you need one for
riding around town on a bicycle.
C'mon let's get going. And don't
be stopping for a swim right?
We got a lot of inventory to
move today.
Come on.
Yes can you please just tell him
that Harrison Burk called again?
Thank you.
Brightaw! What's going on man?
Any openings at Barish Sterns?
Okay I understand.
Grits, any news on that opening at the G.S.
Account? Call me back.
Marty, Marty, Marty, love you
baby, whadda ya got for me?
Okay well just please let me
know if anything comes along.
Yeah, uh I'd like to leave a
message.
Harrison Burk.
Yeah I believe they have my
number.
Okay thank you so much.
Hey buddy, wanna sweeten your
day with some ice-cream?
The lord sweetens my day. Hello
Harry.
Hey Reverend.
I'm sorry I didn't recognize
you.
Maybe if you came to church.
Yeah I've been a little
preoccupied.
Mhmm.
Your mother's been worried about
you. Did you take a bus?
Mothers, can't live with 'em,
can't live without 'em, right?
Seeing as how you're living with
your mother at the present moment
I'm not sure that's an accurate
assessment.
I'll have an ice-cream sandwich.
Good choice.
Thank you
Uh, that's a dollar fifty.
Your dad charges me a dollar.
Of course he does.
You know Harry, faith is the
first step,
even when you can't see the
staircase.
What does that mean?
I have no idea, but when you
figure it out, you tell me.
'Cause I'm dying to know.
Waffles on a stick.
My phone's broken.
Did I do that?
No, It's my fault. It was in my
pocket.
You can have one of ours, we have
an extra it's still in the box.
No this is my new number, so
just have him call me here.
What? No I'm not under water,
I'm in the Caribbean so service
is spotty.
Yeah I'll have two Pina coladas,
thank you.
Hey Kids who wants ice-cream?
I'm not supposed to talk to
strangers
I'm a stranger I grew up here.
If you grew up then why are you
wearing a paper hat?
You want ice-cream or not?
I'm lactose intolerant.
That's over diagnosed. How about
you guys, you want some ice-cream?
Does it have gluten?
What is this, a playground or a
weight watchers meeting?
It's a church.
Are you hustling my kids for
ice-cream money?
No. Wait, you have kids?
I teach Sunday school.
It's Saturday.
Nope, it's Sunday.
What's going on Harry?
Well, I'm kind of living with my
parents again, temporarily,
and selling ice-cream. It's kind
of a sticky situation.
Oh, I'm sorry.
On the plus side I got the A
route.
Oh.
Hey! Those are my customers.
Not any more.
No poaching.
This is open turf.
Since when?
Ask your dad.
Ask your dad!
You know what? Maybe I will.
And guess what? He's a lot
bigger than yours.
Bring your whole family.
It's good to see you're all
grown up.
C'mon Kids.
Hey, a little bird told me, your
mother,
that you, what did you run into
Susie again?
I'd rather not talk about it.
You know, I've always thought
that love is a lot like ice-cream.
Dad please.
There are a lot of flavours out
there right?
And then you find one that you
love and you stick with it.
How poignant.
Thank you.
Oh, this is very important, this is gonna
go to the seniors' centre, no charge.
No charge?
No charge, it's their bingo
night.
So they're winning money at
bingo while you're losing it.
Everything's not about making
money son.
Yes you made that crystal clear.
You're giving away pistachio?
That's a big seller!
Oh, they love pistachio, it
means a lot to them.
That's nice, and when are those
new trucks coming in?
Just in time for winter?
Yeah any day now I think.
You know if you tried to make an actual
profit you wouldn't be stuck here?
Stuck?
In this town, in this life.
Well I like it here, I like this
town, I like this life.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that
way, I just want you to be..
What? Someone else.
No, it's just, ice-cream?
You could be so much more dad.
You know, you may not believe
this son,
this may not be the sexiest job,
and it sure doesn't pay the best,
but living here and with your mother
in this town, I'm actually happy.
Here you go.
You could be happier.
Well who couldn't?
So don't forget about the
seniors eh?
That's no charge,
those people are on a fixed
income they'll get very upset.
Have a nice afternoon
You're new huh?
Sort of.
Don't tell me, you're Ben's kid?
Pretty much.
I pictured somebody a little
taller.
Hey look, we need a fourth for
lawn bowling are you any good?
Probably not.
What have you got here?
It's all vanilla there's no
pistachio in here at all.
Fresh out.
That's okay, tell your dad
thanks from me and the gang huh?
You're a pretty grumpy guy for
an ice-cream man.
You should smile more you know
that?
It won't melt the ice-cream.
What are you doing?
I'm serenading you.
The house looks nice,
I see you've still got that
squeaky old porch swing.
Yup.
If this is your ice-cream pitch
it needs work.
Does your dad know you're
ruining his business?
Yes.
What do you want Harry?
I was kinda hoping you'd hop in
and ride the old route with me.
Like the old days.
It's tempting, but I'm gonna
have to say no.
Aw, c'mon I got the A route.
We could stop by the pool, I'll
let you ring the bell.
Do you use the tactics on Wall
St.?
Yes.
Do they work?
Usually.
Well, I guess they don't know
you like I do.
Actually no one knows me like
you do.
Is that Rick Johnson?
Yep.
Tennis partner?
Not exactly.
Please tell me you're not going
out with him.
He's grown up, we all have.
Well most of us.
Hey.
Hi.
Burk! I heard you were back.
Yup in all my glory.
Oh yeah, nice wheels.
Yeah, you too, finally got that
sports car huh?
Well, you've been gone a while,
that's my third one.
You a used car salesman?
Lawyer.
Same thing.
That's funny coming from an
ice-cream guy.
Actually we prefer ice-cream
technician.
Do ya?
Rick helped me negotiate the
deal with the Gallery.
She's an amazing artist.
Oh, I know.
Shouldn't you be off selling
Eskimo pies or something?
No rush, I have all day.
Oh, unfortunately we don't,
We've got a match at the club so
ciao.
My lady.
Hey wait, I can't let you leave
empty handed.
Your favourite.
You remembered.
Here councillor, on the house.
Oh yeah, ice-cream might stain
the upholstery, so thanks.
Not if it's real leather.
Oh it is.
Later Skater.
I'm sorry, I lost track of time.
That was three hundred dollars
of inventory, you realise that?
You know what? Take this
it's worth five times that.
I don't need your watch,
You need the watch, you lost
track of time.
Okay I'll sell it and pay you
for the inventory.
It's not about that, this
about responsibility.
Responsibility and character.
I'm disappointed in you son.
Tell him I'll make it up to him.
Go to your room Harry.
You need to fix that mobile,
Pluto's no longer a planet.
We're going to the Reverend's
for dinner,
If you go out, turn out the
lights.
Where am I going to go?
You know what? I think he should
just stay home,
and just think about who he
is.
Hi.
It's beautiful Susie.
Thanks.
It's for sale.
I'll take it!
Would you trade me for a watch?
No, but I'll trade you for that
doorstop.
Yeah, my new phone, actually my
parents phone,
they shop at a museum so it's
a valuable.
Ah, very vintage.
Yeah, vintage.
So, uh, you and Rick Johnson
huh?
Believe it or not he's actually
a really good guy.
Oh so he's only a jerk around
me.
Well you really bring out the
worst in him.
Just tell me it's not serious.
I dunno.
Rick Johnson, I gotta say, I
never saw that coming.
How could you? You've been gone.
Well I'm here now.
Are you?
It sure feels like it.
Come on Harry. One call from
Wall St.
And you'll take off without a
glance back.
Just like last time.
I'm sorry, I should have handled
things differently.
I just wanted to leave here so
badly.
I noticed.
I screwed up.
Was it so awful here?
No, I just, thought I wanted
more.
You got it.
I guess.
Well, I should get home.
I'll join you.
Where's your truck?
Plugged in, next to my bike.
I forgot how quiet it gets here
at night, I like it.
You didn't used to.
Dunno what you've got 'till it's
gone right?
There's that charm.
Still not working?
Nope.
How about this? Will you accept
this rose?
You do realize that that's the
Fiona Greber's prize rosebush right?
She still lives here?
Yeah.
Is that you Harry Burk
stealing my roses?
It's Rick Johnson.
Oh, you should be so lucky.
I never liked you as kid Harry,
Nothing's changed.
Sorry they'll grow back,
have a nice night.
Personally, I think she's so mean
because she has a big crush on me.
That's always a problem isn't
it?
Always.
Do you remember when we took
your truck down by the river,
and all those ducks got in?
Oh yeah, they ate all the
popsicles.
Your dad grounded you for a
month.
Yeah, I think he'll ground me
tonight.
How long this time?
'Till my 40th birthday.
Some things never change.
Some things do.
Do you think there's any way we
could just,
forget about the last eight
years?
No.
Yeah, you're right.
But I suppose we could be
friends.
Ah, the friend zone.
Hey you're lucky to be getting
the friend zone considering.
I'll take what I can get.
Hi.
Hey, you ready?
Sure, where we going?
Ha Ha.
Harry and I were just talking
about old days.
Ah well, you know what they say,
The past is history, tomorrow's
a mystery, and today's a present.
Who says that?
Well it definitely wasn't an
ice-cream man.
Maybe a used car salesman?
Lawyer.
So you keep saying.
Would you two stop it?
We can't.
Oh no I can, 'cause see, I got
the girl.
Oh, and the job, and the car,
awkward.
See? You can't stop.
Revenge is sweet.
And a dish best served cold.
So basically revenge is
ice-cream, which reminds me,
it's past my curfew, goodnight
Susie, Rick.
Goodnight Harry, say hi to your
parents for me.
Yeah me too.
Let's face facts here, we're not
getting any younger,
and we both said this was gonna
be our last season.
I was just kinda hoping we'd go
out with a bang and not a thud.
We'll get through this.
Of course we will.
Get through what?
Huh, I thought you were upstairs
in your room.
Where'd you go?
Who cares, what do you mean last
season?
Honey, we didn't want you to
know.
Are you sick?
No.
Dad?
I'm shutting it down.
Rocky Road is finished, come
labour day that's it,
we're closing the doors.
What about the new trucks.
There's no new trucks, I can't
compete look you know these,
they're opening up ice-cream parlours
and frozen yogurt places everywhere
nice places too.
I can't compete.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me you were
fired?
I dunno, I just
See, same thing.
Actually to tell you the truth I just
didn't want you to see me as a failure.
But now, as things turn out, you
were right all along.
Dad, we can fix this.
It's done, Marla.
'Night Harry.
What's all the racket, what's
all this?
I'm pretty sure it's every
present I've ever given you.
BluRay, flat screen T.V., Wireless
speakers, electric foot massager,
New microwave, electric knives,
Panini Grill,
the Juicer you remember of
course,
and what kitchen would be
complete
without a Japanese rice cooker?
How's she gonna get the rice on
those little sticks?
I can try.
Well I thought you should at
least try everything,
whatever you don't want you can
give to the seniors centre.
Arigato, Harry.
You'd better wait until we get
the electric bill.
Fresh squeezed.
Now how many oranges would you have
to use to get a glass this size?
Just try it.
That's amazing, isn't that
great?
You know what someone once told
me?
Life is a lot like ice-cream,
enjoy it before it melts.
I cannot believe that you
remember that.
I remember.
Did you remember to get electric
skewers for your mum?
I did not.
Welcome everyone, it's good to see
you out on such a beautiful day.
I'm seeing a lot of old friends,
a lot of new friends, and Harry Burk.
It's never too late, is it?
It's never too late Harry, but
please, no more interruptions.
The Lord does work in wondrous
ways.
Seeing Harry back with us today is
the perfect lead in to todays sermon,
The Wayward son, God's love is
unwavering even when one is lost.
The Bible says: And not many days
after, the younger son, like Harry,
Gathered and took his journey into
a far country, like New York City.
And there, wasted his substance
with riotus living, like town cars,
beautiful penthouse apartments,
and expense accounts.
Now obviously I'm paraphrasing people,
but that's the least of my sins.
What the Bible is saying here,
is that we are all equally wise,
and equally foolish. Let us
pray, Harry.
Why do I feel like that whole
sermon was directed towards me?
Well you should have heard last
week's sermon.
What, that was about me too?
You look nice.
You too.
Thank you, it's the only jacket
my mom hasn't shrunk... yet
You could do your own laundry.
I'm not allowed.
Oh.
8 cylinder of course right?
Susie?
Hi!
I just talked to your parents in
Florida, they want you to call more.
Really? I call every day.
Twice a day would be good.
So nice to see you two kids
together again.
We're not together mom, Susie's
with Rick.
Hasn't that blown over yet
honey?
Mom.
Hey, Mrs. Burk, I didn't know
your husband was a car guy.
Actually our first date was in a
'68 Shelby Cobra.
Dad had a sports car?
He built it himself in the
garage.
You kids think we were never
your age,
you'd be shocked at some of the
things we did.
Ugh, over sharing mom.
Why don't you two join us for
lunch?
Oh, yeah, we'd love to.
Um, actually we got that thing.
What "Thing"?
It's a work thing, at my firm.
It's Sunday, It is Sunday,
right?
Uh, yeah.
Look, I didn't want to do this
here.
Is this about Dallas?
How do you know about Dallas?
Your mother talks to her
hairdresser,
her hairdresser talks to Fiona's
sister,
Fiona's sister told Fiona,
and Fiona told me at Sushi Clas.
What's in Dallas?
Me, and I hope you too.
Uh,
I was offered partner, at the
Dallas office.
That's fantastic knows, I for
one, am elated.
I start right after labor day,
and I want you to come with me.
What?
Come here
Come with me.
Rick, I can't just leave,
everything's here, my home, my work.
I know, I've thought it all out,
Look Pat can run the Gallery
here,
My Frat buddy has connections with
the top art dealers in Dallas,
You can paint anywhere, right?
Look it's only for two years, and then
we can move back here if you want.
You really have thought this all
out.
Yeah I was gonna tell you
tonight,
over a romatic dinner but, are
you still here?
Look, I know it's none of my
business,
but what kind of offer is that?
You expect her to just follow you
across the country without a commitment?
Without any promise of a future?
Harry.
No, we're friends right? Friends
don't let friends go to Dallas.
Burk, for once, you're right.
Wait, what are you doing, I'm
just spitballing here, get up.
Marry me Susie.
I love you, and I would have
asked you eventually, so why wait?
We've only been going out for
six months.
But we've known each other our
whole lives,
I don't wanna make the same
mistake he did,
I don't wanna leave you behind.
No fair I was a lot younger than
you.
I don't know what to say.
Say you'll think about it.
You okay?
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Hey! You've got work to do Mr.
Let's go, fun time's over.
Harry!
No free ice-cream until
wednesday guys.
Does it look like we want free
ice-cream?
C'mon over here for a sec.
C'mon I bet on horses faster
than you, hurry up.
Do me a favour, gimme that paper
hat will ya?
Ya know, just because you're
scared to lawn bowl
doesn't mean you gotta drive
around looking like a chump okay?
Here's a little something from the
gang here at the seniors centre,
one for you, one for your dad,
one for whats-his-name.
Anyway just our little way of saying
thank you for, for everything.
Thank you Jerry, thank you guys.
And uh, we'll see you next
wednesday huh?
And uh, Don't forget the
pistachio this time huh?
I won't.
He's a good kid huh?
How'd it go?
Jerry gave us some hats.
Oh, nice, what about ice-cream,
did you sell any ice-cream?
Not much.
I don't understand it, Sunday
was our best day.
You know, you wanted me to think
about who I am?
Well I have, truth is, I'm a
selfish, shallow jerk,
who walked away from everybody
who cared about him,
and lost sight of what's
important.
And all these years, I've been
trying not to be like you.
I know, I embarrass you, I
always have.
Dad, I'm sorry.
There's no reason to apologize,
it's okay.
No, It's not.
You know, It doesn't really
matter what you do in this life,
What matters is that when you do decide
to do something, you do it right.
You do it with integrity, and
from the heart.
I thought I was, but I was just
kidding myself.
I was a shark, afraid to stop
moving,
because if I did, I might
realize how empty I was.
I forgot what it's like to be around
people who actually care about each other.
If I accomplish nothing else this
summer, and I probably won't,
I'm gonna bring your business
back.
No that's not true, we're gonna
bring the business back. You and me.
Are you a magician or something?
A salesman, just like you.
Yeah except I sell fudge bars,
you sell hedge funds.
Like I said, we're both
salesmen, try it on.
According to market research,
Espresso's the new latte,
bagel's the new muffin,
Fro-yo's the ice-cream, and
greek yogurt's the new Fro-yo.
I dunno what you're talking
about.
Trends.
See that's all you do on Wall
st. isn't it? you follow trends.
No, we make trends.
Trends are fickle.
So are customers.
That's true, I'll tell you
what's not fickle, ice-cream.
It's always cold, it's always
sweet, and it alwys tastes good.
And when the weather turns cold
so does the business,
And we have to deal with that
seasonal issue.
You're right, you're right,
you're right.
And we need a new slogan.
Why? What's wrong with that slogan?
"Everybody needs Ice-cream",
What's wrong with that?
First of all, nobody needs
ice-cream.
Well you can't go and say that,
"Nobody needs ice-cream"?
We need something that pops.
That pops.
"What happens on the truck stays
on the truck"?
Heheh, no.
"Ice-cream never sleeps."
You kidding me?
Okay, it melts.
Unless you plug of course,
sorry.
I dunno, I always thought things
would just stay the same.
Change isn't always a bad thing.
It's not always good either.
It can be, there's been a few
improvements since the VCR.
Alright, I'll tell you one thing
that I wouldn't mind changing.
That song. That music on the truck
has been the same for 20 years,
it's driving me mental.
Then why do you keep playing it?
I dunno, I guess I'm just lazy,
it's a habit.
Dad you can listen to anything
you want,
what do you wanna hear? Rock?
Classical, Oldies?, New age?
Really? I like Jazz, I could
have Jazz.
Jazz...
Retro yet edgie, soothing yet
somehow distrubing, I like it.
Really?
Yeah.
You're not just saying that to
make me feel good?
Jazz.
Imagine an ice-cream truck that
plays Jazz.
Take me to it Daddy-o.
That'd be pretty good.
Yeah.
Good shot, Here you go Jer-Bear.
Thank you Harry, really appreciate
this, gonna hit the spot.
Here, put these in the freezer
will ya?
I know how many are supposed to
be in there.
Alright, okay.
Let's show this guy something he can't
learn on the internet 'eh fellas?
Woah woah woah woah!
Alright here we go eh.
I thought you'd never done this
before huh?
It's not nice to lie to your
elders.
Look at that!
I get first dibs on the
ice-cream.
Re-match Jerry, next week.
Next week.
See ya Harry.
Those guys are intense.
Jerry's city champ, how much did
you lose?
A box of pistachio bars.
Ugh, you got off easy, I had to
paint the activity room.
So, Dallas, you'll need some
cowboy boots, and a big hat.
Dallas actually has some paved roads
these days, with buildings and everything.
Is that what Rick told you?
'Cause you cant trust anything
that guys says, he's a Lawyer.
Well, If you're asking if I've
decided yet, I haven't.
Good.
You do realize this doesn't
actually involve you.
Actually it does, he wouldn't
have proposed if it wasn't for me.
So you're saying you don't think
he's really in love with me.
Of course he's in love with you,
who wouldn't be?
Shouldn't you get that?
It can wait.
What if it's a job offer?
I have a job, besides I can't
leave here right now.
What's wrong?
Rocky Roads is closing its
coolers.
What?
Yeah, My dad didn't want to tell
me.
He didn't want to look like a
failure in front of me.
I'm so sorry, Rocky Roads is
his whole life
I know.
I can't imagine this place
without it.
You know, your parents gave me
my first paint set.
Oh yeah, the pink eisel.
Yeah, it was my tenth birthday,
and we had pink ice-cream too.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You know, if you need help with
anything, just let me know.
You snooze you lose old-timer
Old timer?
That must hurt.
You're the same age as me.
Oh, cut him off at 4th and settle
this thing at the kiddy pool.
See you tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
It's Sunday, church.
Wow, that's four times in four
weeks.
You counting?
Everyone is, Reverend's got a
pool going.
Hey, Mr.Price.
Hey buddy boy.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Alright here it is.
Any longer and I'm gonna be as
old as you man!
C'mon gramps I 'ain't got all
day.
Hey I'm just closing a deal,
talk later.
Ethnic food's pretty popular
these days.
Yeah there's a lot of signs
there.
It doesn't go bad as quick.
That's a good point.
You boys gonna be at this for a
while?
Ice-cream never sleeps
sweetheart.
Can I get you anything else? Hot
water and lemon?
Okay now I don't want you to
take this the wrong way,
but I never want to see another
cup of hot water and lemon again.
I guess a little coffee couldn't
hurt.
Make mine a double espressso,
it's an all-nighter here.
Harrison, where do we keep the
high octane stuff?
Uh, between the electric pepper
mill and the rice cooker.
Oh, I'm starving.
She does these great.
Sticks.
What?
Sticks are the new forks.
I know how we're gonna save
Rocky Road.
Oh that's Major, you want all
the ovens?
Yeah, sounds good
You're the boss.
Oh, now you're catching on.
Yeah, it takes me a while, when
I get there I get there.
Woah dudes, what happened here?
Well we're re-tooling, if you
wanna know.
We're diversifying see.
We're gonna do cold food in the
summer,
we're gonna do comfort food in
the winter, and you're late again.
Oh yeah sorry, 'cause I was at
the..
The Library?
Oh how'd you know?
Lucky guess.
My son doesn't tolerate
lateness,
you wanna work here, you gotta
be on time.
So grab some gloves, and pass me
the channel locks okay?
Uh, the which?
Blue handles.
Am I still on the B route?
Oh all that's changing too.
There ya go.
Cool.
Hello.
Hey.
Listen to this.
Okay, well there's also this.
Oh, Fiona Draper's garden?
No, she had a dog in her yard.
It's a Chihuahua
Well it sounded bigger.
Come in, I'm almost finished.
Wow, I haven't been here since..
You plugged your truck into the
house and blew the electrical panel?
Right, I forgot about that.
My parents didn't, they still
mention it.
They do?
Yup, and now that I talk to them
twice a day they mention it a lot.
Here, take a look I finished
your new artwork.
It's amazing!
Yeah do you like it?
I love it.
Thank you Susie.
You're welcome.
You know if you didn't put me in
the friend zone, I'd hug you.
Friends can hug.
Come here.
Can they kiss?
Alright, when is the grand
reopening?
Labor day weekend, the same say you're
going to break Rick Johnson's heart.
You never give up do you?
Like a recurring nightmare.
I was thinking more along the
lines of pest, but nightmare works.
Okay labor day weekend, are you
thinking Saturday, Sunday, or Monday?
Saturday so we have three solid
days to sell.
I thought so.
Hey, I thought you tore up all
our old pictures.
Oh, right, well how many girls can say they
went to their prom in an ice cream truck?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Are you kidding? that was the
best.
You were freezing
No, it was the best.
Yeah.
Mhmm.
Hey, you still got that
trampoline out back?
What do you think?
Sweet.
This used to be a lot easier.
Oh man, I'm too old for that.
Yes you are.
It feels like I never left
this place.
Almost.
There's 8 million people in
Manhattan.
It's crazy to think that with 8 million people
living with you, you can still feel alone.
Do you feel alone here?
No, how could I with everyone
watching my every move?
What does that guy have a GPS on
me or something?
No, we're meeting the Reverend
here.
Oh.
Councelling.
For Rick's emotional
shortcomings?
Premarital councelling.
Oh no.
Well, you want me to leave out
the back gate?
We're not in High School.
You're not, I'm not so sure
about me and him.
Well he probably already saw
your bike on the front lawn so.
Right.
Oh what a treat, it's Rick.
You look nice.
Thank you.
Not you.
Did you tip my bike?
Nope, looks like you got a flat
tire though. Tough break.
That's funny, it wasn't flat
when I got here.
Don't look at me.
Well it's hard to avoid it when
you seem to show up everywhere.
Ugh, I'll drop the artwork off
at the printers okay?
Thanks Susie.
You're welcome, Hi.
Come here.
Harry.
Oh hey Reverend.
Looks like you got a flat tire
there.
Yeah.
What are you doing with that
toothpick?
Nothing.
Good, because we don't believe
in an eye for an eye.
What about a tire for a tire?
Turn the other cheek.
Right, so Premarital councelling
huh?
Yeah, I look forward to doing
that for you one day.
Give it here, come on.
I'll see you in church Harry.
Still Sunday right?
Sunday and every day.
Well, that was interesting.
I think there's a few things we
need to work on.
Oh! Rick remember, the key is
listening.
Got it.
What?
I said got it.
I'm just kidding.
I was nervous.
It's okay.
I gotta go, I'll call you later?
Yeah, would you mind dropping
this off at the printers for me?
According to the Reverend I
should say yes.
All the information's on the
post it,
I just called and they're gonna
do a rush job for me.
Ten to Four P.M. stone park,
Saturday Labour day weekend.
Got it!
See, listening, doing.
Yeah, great, thank you.
Okay, I am gonna do this, I'm a good
boy, I'm a catch, listening and doing.
Yeah, listening and doing, you can do
this, you can do this, listening and doing.
Okay, on a mission, I am going
to do this.
Susie said you were expecting this, all
the information's on the post-it note...
Uh, alright it's Stone Park,
Labor day, ten a.m. to four p.m.
Looks like labor day's on Monday
the third this year.
See, I'm a listener.
These Rocky Road signs are all
over town.
You know what I don't get?
Another card.
Why would they have the grand
opening on a Monday?
I mean it makes more sense to do
it on a Saturday,
that way you take advantage of
the three day weekend.
Well there ought to be an ordanace
against posting signs on every corner.
I don't think so Fiona.
Well there ought to be, and you
should bring it up at Sunday sermon.
Sunday's sermon is love thy
neighbour.
I'm gonna give Harry a call,
it's bad business!
I wouldn't play that one.
I'm sure Harry knows what he's
doing and it's a no talk game Fiona.
You seen how much time Susie's
been spending with that boy?
I don't know what she sees in
him.
He's a good kid, give him a
break.
He's a Rose thief, and she ought
to stick with that Johnson boy.
Let's see how it all plays out.
Hahaha. Gin.
Told you not to play that card.
Oh I wish we were playing for
money.
Is it delicious?
Here try one.
Mmm, delicious!
Really?
Yeah.
Delicious.
Oh!
It's perfect.
Really?
Really.
I can't believe summer's ending
already.
Yeah I know it went by so fast.
Yeah it did.
You know where time goes really
slow?
Texas.
Is that so?
Mhmm, Cowboy Rick's hitting the
trail Tuesday right?
Will you be riding shotgun?
I haven't decided.
Well you know the Reverend says if you truly
love someone you don't have to decide,
you just know.
When did the Reverend say that?
Last Sunday at church, I guess
I'm winning the pool.
Okay maybe I said it.
Maybe you just don't want Rick
to win.
If I hadn't left town would we
still be together?
I don't know.
I do.
Don't do this Harry.
Don't try and charm me back into this
again, because you're just going to leave!
You know you are.
Okay are we done yet?
You know we hit the road tomorrow
we gotta be ready, let's go.
Are we done?
Susie.
I think we are.
It's fantastic, isn't it Ben?
Ben what's wrong are you sick?
Am I sick? no, I'm not sick, why
would I be sick?
Do you not like it Mr.Burk?
What? No, the truck is fantastic
it's a great job.
No I just suppose I'm starting
to feel a little nerves,
I mean we start tomorrow and I don't
want to fail in front of my family.
You know dad, no matter what
happens, you're already a success.
Me?
Yes you.
You know I've been looking up to these
heavy hitters on Wall st. for years,
I should have been looking up to
you.
You're there for people, you're
honest, your word is your word,
I mean you give away free
ice-cream to cheer people up,
while your business is going
under.
Some people say that man's a
fool.
No dad, that's the kind of man I
wanna be.
Well thank you son, thanks son.
What time is it?
Where's your watch?
We sold it to buy the grill.
Look this is a disaster there's
nobody coming.
They'll come.
We've been here two hours.
Hey boss, I mean this is a bust,
you think I can take off?
Take off Razor, see you later.
I don't get it, we did
everything right.
Maybe we over sold, maybe we
just pushed too hard I dunno.
How can no one show up?
The Reverend, you're friends,
not even Susie.
I saw her at the bakery with
Rick this morning,
I didn't want to say anything,
she was wearing a cowboy hat.
I guess that's it then.
Well, We tried.
I'm sorry dad, I really wanted
this for us.
Nothing to be sorry about,
Okay let's just pack up the food
and let's get out of here.
Yo guys, I can't believe I
didn't notice this,
some idiot wrote Labour day as a
Monday.
Lemme see this.
Check it out.
Oh well the food's not going to
keep for two days.
Razor, smart phone, Stat.
I'll Ping everyone with twitter,
there is twitter here right?
What do you think, we're
dinosaurs?
Hey dude, look I'm on Twitter,
Instagram, Facebook, Vine, and Kick.
Gimme that thing.
Okay it's gotta be a good
hashtag though.
Okay, I got this.
Oh Rick.
Hey, check this out.
Oh my, Let's go.
Oh this is exciting, come on
everybody, let's go, come on!
Hey guys check this out! We
gotta go.
Huh?
Ah, look at this, looks like
they're sticking with us after all.
Let's get this party Started.
Hiya, come on through.
Good thing I've got 7000
followers on twitter huh?
That 6999 more than I have.
Excuse me, could I have your
attention please?
I'd just like to say a few
words.
You have no idea how good it is
to see all of you.
It's funny this truck used to
embarrass me,
but I guess it took losing everything
to find out what's really important.
Turns out it's been right in
front of me all along,
and at the risk of sounding
corny,
sometimes the best road is the
Rocky Road home.
Okay form a line here, I'll start
taking orders. This is what we got,
Cheeseburger on a stick, Tuna?
Okay.
You did a good job.
We did a good job.
That was a really good speech,
did you mean all that?
You couldn't tell?
Well you are quite the smooth
talker.
Well I'm not that smooth or else
you wouldn't be going to Dallas.
Yeah, well, I'll come back to
visit.
And I'll be here.
Hey, look I owe you an apology.
Just one?
Look I think I might have screwed
up your poster, not intentionally.
It's okay.
It is?
Yeah,
I mean we've been trying to let the air
out of each other's tires for a while now.
That wasn't me.
It's okay man, I want us to
start over.
As what?
Friends.
Friends?
We already have a couple things in
common, we both don't like eachother,
and we care about the same girl.
Well, good luck in Dallas. Take
good care of her.
I will.
Hey, you ever want lawn bowling
lessons kid, just let me know alright?
You know what Jerry? I might
take you up on that.
Alright, take care.
There we are, we did it.
I mean what a day a total
sellout, unbelieveable.
Hey we'll have to go back
tomorrow.
Cash and carry?
I have to get this.
Hey Mr.Price.
You're not taking my calls that
can only mean one thing right?
Who stole you away? G.S.? Not
Meryl,
Can't have you working for the
enemy now can we?
So here it is, I'm prepared to offer you
your apartment, car, expense account,
and your job back, starting
yesterday with a 10% bonus.
That's very generous, but I'm
going to have to say no.
Always negotiating eh Harrison?
You know you've been like a son
to me so I can go to uh 20%.
Actually I already have a Father,
he's right here next to my mother.
We've got two trucks and if business
goes the way I think it will,
We'll have four by winter and
then six,
and then one day in the not to
distant future,
You're going to look out of your
hermetically sealed high rise window
and see one of those trucks, and
A billboard,
maybe even a little sky writing,
overselling?
Not at all.
You're going to give up
everything for that?
That is everything, that's my
family.
I guess I had you wrong.
I had me wrong too. Goodbye Mr.Price,
when we go public we'll call you.
Alright, I'm gonna need two things:
My own place and a new phone.
Preferablly smaller than a
coffin.
I gotta tell you son, I'm very
proud of you Harrison.
Thanks dad. What do you say we
go back to Harry?
Absolutely not! What kind of a
name is Harry
for the head of a company like
this?
Hey Harry.
Tyler my man, what can I get
you?
Three cheddar sticks please.
Aren't you lactose intolerant?
Nah, you were right, I was
mis-diagnosed.
There you go.
Thanks.
What can I get for ya Fiona?
Well I'll have the fish and
chips on a stick.
Good choice.
And uh, stay out of my roses
Harry,
or I'll take the air out of your
other tire.
That was you?
Pssssssss.
Looking good old man.
Who you calling old man? Why don't
you get back there and re-stock,
looks like we're gonna need it.
Alright, alright.
Harry.
I got something for the seniors
centre.
Please, no more ice cream, we
got enough to last us a month.
Better than Ice cream, and it
won't melt.
What the heck is this?
Turns out I was over gifting,
think you could use some speakers?
What HI-FI?
Surround sound.
Aw thank you very much, that's
very kind of you,
let's see if I can get that kid of
yours to help me carry this thing.
The Gotlands are renewing their
vows next month,
you interested in catering?
I'll check our schedule.
I'll take that as a yes.
I thought you were heading out
today!
I thought so too.
Flight delay?
Nope, I got all the way to the
airport but, I couldn't do it.
I told Rick no.
You did?
Yeah, I think he was relieved.
I know I am.
I mean I'm sorry, actually, I'm
not sorry,
I couldn't be less sorry.
So you're staying?
Yeah I'm staying.
That's great, because I gotta be
honest, I'm not over you Susie,
and I never will be.
I'm not over you either.
Don't mind us.
Ride with me?
Yeah.
I got the A route.
Ooh
and I'm the C.E.O
Can I drive?
No, it's very technical machine.
Yeah I remember, I've driven it
before remember?
We got big plans for this
company.
How many trucks you gonna have?
Two trucks by the end of the year,
we're gonna get Razor in one,
I'll be in the other.
Yeah get Razor in a truck.
Maybe I'll get you in a truck.
I'll sell millions of fish on a
stick.
---
Is it risky? yes.
Is it going to get you that
vacation house in the Hamptons?
Absolutely!
You can save me the guest room
actually, make that me plus one.
Gotta go!
Harrison burk
Grits my man!
Floor seats? Nicks? 8 o'clock?
I'm there!
Cancel my dinner and set up a
lunch with Jones and his wife
Five star, not four.
Mr.Price, good morning!
Yes, I'm in my car now, see you
in a few.
'Morning
Morning Mr.Burk
you look good Gerrard, did you
lose a few?
Not since yesterday.
Nicks, Celtics, right behind the
bench 32nd row.
Heh, right behind the bench is
row two.
Bring binoculars
and if Ashley shows up again
tell her I'm on vacation.
Gorgeous redhead?
Gorgeous blonde
you're nuts!
Nope, she is.
I'm telling you this is one of
the hottest deals I've seen
it is a winner! have I ever
steered you wrong?
Four hundred shares, baby steps
remember?
Oh! and thank you so much for
the juicer,
I'm using it as we speak.
I'm telling you buddy boy, it's you
and me all the way to the end zone.
Huge.
Yes, you and me buddy boy, all
the way.
Hold my calls Renee!
Mr.Price, is that a new suit?
No, but I can see yours is.
Thank you for noticing
Sit down Harrison.
Oh Sir, you know me, I'm not
much of a sitter.
Can't hit a moving target,
right?
Sometimes you can.
The Merger didn't go through.
You're kidding.
You're not kidding.
We're fielding other offers but
we feel we have to downsize.
Of course, absolutely, we'll
trim the expense account,
freeze the club membership, no
problem.
Problem.
Not the town car? I love that
car.
The car, the apartment and, it
pains me to say this, your job.
What? I'm your top guy, I'm your
biggest earner.
Well you're also the most
expensive employee in the company,
so it's kind of a wash.
Listen, before you push the panic
button, it's just temporary.
You know the game, ride the
highs in April, go away in May
It's June.
And you're gonna be right back where
you belong by the end of summer.
Take a vacation,
spend some of that Commission
money we've been paying you.
And, by the way I'm going to need
you to vacate that apartment A.S.A.P,
we've leased it out to the
London office.
Harrison, I hate to do this to
you, you're like a son to me.
Then don't do this... dad.
I've got to get this. I'll get
H.R. to help pack you up.
Georgie boy! what are you like
out on the first tee?
Okay pal, I'm on my way.
Yeah, I'll be there in like an
hour.
Colin, Colin! it's Harrison Burk,
I'm thinking about moving sideways
call me.
Mr. Hinds! Harrison Burk, we met
last month at the country club,
turns out, I am availablethe
position has been filled
watch that backswing buddy,
alright.
Listen, I understand that you're
his assistant,
but he was practically begging me
to join his company last month.
You know what? Forget it, thank
you!
Jonathan, hey, it's me, your
brother.
So I was just wondering if I
could crash on your couch
both kids are sick, wow. Okay
I'll just head to a hotel.
Give Bonnie and the rugrats a hr
me.
Alright.
Hey mom.
Harry! oh! oh my stars.
Ben! Ben, it's Harry!
Well well, look who's here.
Hiya Harry, what is it Christmas
already?
No dad, and it's Harrison.
You're still on that kick are
ya?
It's not a kick, it's my name.
Well as I recall, we named you
Harry after my father.
Harrison's better for business.
Never hurt my father's business.
He was a mechanic.
Honey, we're thrilled to see
you, aren't we Ben?
Yeah, yeah, thrilled. are you
staying at the hotel again?
Actually I thought I'd stay here
for a couple days,
maybe a week.
Is everything alright? are you
sick?
I just have a little overdue vacation
time, thought I'd spend it with you guys.
But you always go to St.Burts
St. Barts
St. Barts
You'd tell us if you were sick
right?
The boy says he's not sick.
The truth is I am sick,
homesick.
Homesick for both of you.
Let's get you settled.
What happened to my room?
Well, your brother...
The one that gave us the
grandkids.
The girls just spend do much
time here
we wanted to give them a home
away from home.
So we packed up your stuff and
we stuck it in the closet.
Oh, except I think the girls took it
out and made a little castle with it.
Oh they did! will you look at
that.
Isn't it cute?
Nice.
So where do I sleep?
You can use Sophia's bed, she
won't mind.
Oh really?
We'll tell her.
Perfect.
Aw, Susie Barns, such a lovely
girl.
Yeah.
You know she took over the old
gallery on Oak Street?
I haven't talked to her in eight
years.
I'm sure she'd love to see you.
I highly doubt that.
What's happening son? any
special ladies?
No.
Just playing the field are you?
I like to keep my options open.
I never understood why you broke
up with Susie.
We were in high school mom.
But you were so much in love, I always
thought you two would end up together.
You also thought I'd be an Astronaut
and President of the United States.
No I didn't, that's just something parents
say to make their kids feel special.
Right Ben?
I don't recall saying he was
Presidential material, no.
Well I'm glad we cleared that
up, I'll withdraw my nomination.
You know, if you'd just stayed here
like I said with the ice-cream business
who knows where we could have
taken this.
Look at Ben&Jerry, we would be
Ben&Harry.
You guys, please excuse me for a minute
I've got some phone calls to make.
You have to go out in the back yard,
we don't get reception in the house,
you have to go out by the swing
set.
Swing set?
Grandkids. come on honey.
Hey, Mr.Price, it's Harrison,
just checking in. Any news?
No, not yet, enjoy your vacation.
Where did you settle on?
Uh, St. Barts.
Harry, should I pack your
suitcase?
Same old Harrison, blonde or
redhead?
Redhead.
I've got something new for you
tonight, you're gonna love it.
Lucky man.
Gotta go!
Hey, I got you guys a little
something.
Oh honey we don't need more
presents.
Sure you do
Open 'em.
Okay. oh!
You alright?
Yeah, it's heavy.
A juicer, just what we need
Open yours dad.
Oh you didn't have to do that.
What's in here?
You know what it is? A shirt and
a tie, and a price tag.
You know for this kind of money I could
have bought myself a pretty nice T.V.
Okay, well I can wear it to
church, maybe even my own funeral.
At least you'll go out in style.
I hope everybody's hungry, sit
down boys!
Here we go.
Why is everything on a stick?
That's your mother's new thing.
It's fun, and you don't need
utensils.
Dinner on a stick.
Oh not just dinner, everything.
Name me one food that isn't
better on a stick.
Soup.
Don't go giving her ideas.
It's good.
Maybe after dinner we could all
watch a nice movie.
Dad'll put something on the VCR.
What happened to the Blu-Ray I
sent you?
I didn't get a chance to hook
that thing up yet.
It's put away.
Actually I don't know, tonight I
got a couple hours work I gotta do.
So maybe we do movie night
another night.
Hey.
Could you pass me the channel
locks?
Blue handles.
Forgot everything I taught you
Not everything. I remember my
old route.
You were one of my best drivers.
You should have stuck with that.
Yeah, think where I could have
been now, the ice-cream king.
There's worse things.
There are better things.
So how's biz?
Well, you know, summer's staring
school's out, the pools open
it's gonna be huge.
How many drivers do you have
now?
Well, not quite as many as when
you were last here with us.
Oh, did you see the new menu?
Ah, chocolate bomb pop, sweet.
Yup, that's a big one, that's a
big seller there.
When's the last time you raised
prices?
It's a small town, people want
value.
Doesn't mean you have to give it
away.
Get me the hammer will you?
That's the one with the wooden
handle.
I know what a hammer is.
Just checkin'.
Morning mom, coffee?
Decaf, caffeine keeps us awake.
It's daytime, you're supposed to
be awake.
Where's the new coffee maker I
sent you?
We're waiting for this one to
break.
You can pick up some real coffee
at the market.
And while you're there can you
pick up some oranges?
And antacids for your father,
there's a list.
Do I have to?
Did you make your bed?
No.
Then you have to.
Gotta make a move.
I see you've got your funeral
clothes on.
We're off to church, Reverend
would be thrilled to see you.
Some other time.
And when was the last time?
I've got calls to make.
It's Sunday.
Not in Tokyo.
Oh, you're doing business with
the Japanese!
Ohio, that means hello.
And sayonara, that means
goodbye,
you wanna be late for the
sermon?
I left you some breakfast in the
oven, most important meal of the day.
C'mon.
Alright!
Bye son.
Carl my man! just checking on a
rumour.
Iris said there was an opening
at Meryl?
Oh you took it, congrats.
Reverend: Nice boots
Wonderful sermon Reverend
Oh, thank you Marla,
you know I gave up my Gin night
to fine tune it,
I really like the way I took the
verses from the Corinthians,
and I contrasted them with the
vers
Harrison's home
Harry
You're kidding
It's an, uh, unexpected visit.
How wonderful, the prodigal son
returns.
We're worried about him, I think
he took the bus.
Maybe we can get him to come to
church
That's a good one.
We tried.
I'm sure it's nothing,
after all I have four children and
I never stop worrying about them.
Of course they come to church.
I can keep an eye on them at
least once a week.
I'll watch out for Harry.
Thank you Reverend.
Okay.
Hey! no running, stop that!
This church can't afford another
lawsuit.
Just get in there and tie
yourself to the pew.
Susie!
Susie: Harry?
You okay?
This isn't my stuff.
Oh no? not even the
marshmallows?
Okay, maybe those.
Last time you were here you had
a car and a driver.
Well I've gone green.
Yeah, and black and blue.
Well it's your fault you know.
If you weren't so good looking I
wouldn't have fallen.
Oh, haven't lost that charm.
Nah, just my dignity.
I'm glad you're here Harry.
Really?
Yeah, your mom's been worried
about you.
Oh. Wait, why?
She says you're alone.
I'm not alone, I've got people
around me all the time.
Well, she says you're having
trouble meeting a nice girl.
You having fun embarrassing me?
Kind of.
Well, sincere we're talking
about my mom,
which I wish we weren't,
she said you took over the
gallery. That's great.
Yeah, Thanks.
I'd love to see some of your new
work.
Oh you mean the paintings of
the, oh how did you put it?
The culturally barren wasteland
you call New Hampshire?
Did I say that?
And worse.
You kind of have a way with
words.
I was young and stupid.
I can see things much clearer
now in my old age.
Yeah, the "no glasses" look is
really good on you.
We should grab some lunch or
dinner sometime.
How Long are you in town for
this time? An hour?
A little longer than that.
Maybe there's a high school
dance we can crash.
I don't think so.
Oh, I guess I have lost my
charm.
You haven't lost it, it just
doesn't work on me anymore.
Well here, you can throw this at
an old picture of me.
I tore all those up.
All of them?
Take care Harry.
It's Harrison.
Judge, Jury, Executioner, !
Ah run to the left
Ah! Revenge is mine!
I am your master!
He's regressed back into being a
teenager.
We should have done this weeks
ago.
You live in my house you play by
my rules.
Laundry piled everywhere.
Harry!
One sec, I'm in the pass of
doom!
So are we!
Excuse me.
No! now I'm back to level Five.
You've been here for eighteen
days now.
That's all?
Well time goes slow when you're
a child.
This isn't a visit home is it?
It's an extended visit.
Alright.
I was laid off, temporarily.
I'm just waiting for word from
the firm.
So you're living here.
I wouldn't call it living.
What about your apartment, your
car, your savings?
Gone, gone, and what savings?
I don't understand, you make so
much money.
It's New York, Dinners, clothes,
vacations.
If you wanna be successful, you
have to look successful.
Haven't we taught you anything?
This is Wall st. dad, not Main
st.
Oh, okay.
Well this is the key to the truck
that sells ice-cream down on Main st.
If you're gonna be living here,
you're gonna be jingling that bell.
Not the paper hat.
Yes the paper hat.
Welcome home son.
Turn that machine off.
Where's the fleet?
Well, you're looking at it.
A truck and a bike.
Well all the other trucks are
getting kind of run down so,
gas is expensive.
I ordered some new ones but
apparently they've backordered so
You can't run the summer on a
truck and a bike.
Yeah I can.
Wow.
Yeah?
I love what you've done with the
place.
Well, it's functional.
So's an interrogation room.
I was just remembering
how I used to pick you up from
school in an ice-cream truck,
how you'd love that.
No one wants to be picked up in
an ice-cream truck dad.
I guess, except people who love
ice-cream.
What are you drinking?
Hot water and lemon.
Why?
Why? Because your mother saw
something on T.V.
that said caffeine's not that
good for you.
So now it's hot water and lemon.
Dry Ice first, ice-cream last.
I know dad,
'Atta boy.
Close the door, you're letting
the cold air out!
Hey, Mr. Price
Hey buddy boy
Any news on the merger?
No, no, not yet, what are you
still in St. Barts?
Hey, service is terrible can I
call you back in one minute?
Alright, ok you've got a minute.
Hey, I'm having a having a hard
time hearing you.
Mr. Price, Mr. Price?
Hello?
Cell phone reception is terrible
in the Caribbean, so listen.
Say hi to Becky at Le Tai for me
okay buddy?
Look you're not missing anything
here, the weather's brutal.
Have fun.
Oh, here you go, new extension
cord.
The upgrades keep coming.
And don't forget to plug in
'cause that dry goes and just
melts on you in this weather right?
I'm assuming the new trucks will
have generators?
Yeah.
Here's your co-worker, Razor.
You're late.
Sorry Mr.B I had homework.
It's summer.
Summer school.
No.
Who's he?
I was you once.
He's my kid, Harry.
Kid? He's like a hundred.
Thanks, and you're not in summer
school
you overslept because you were with
your friends all night at the river.
Oh yeah, look at your shoes.
Okay, alright alright, alright,
you got me okay, busted.
Alright I'm taking the A route,
you take the B route.
Woah, woah woah, hey hey, no, no
I got the A route wired.
Of course you do. The pool's on
the A route,
Stop for a swim, girls in
bikinis,
Maybe trade a few ice-creams for
a tavern burger?
You got the bike, he's got the
truck, have a nice day.
Oh come on Mr.B, look at him
I've got seniority.
Actually I do,
I've been here since '98 when
you were in diapers.
Harsh.
Hey! Put on your hat.
Put on yours.
Nice negotiating, that business
degree is really paying off huh?
That's who's representing you on
the streets?
We're selling ice-cream, not
mutual funds.
Does he even have a drivers
licence?
As far as I know,
I don't think you need one for
riding around town on a bicycle.
C'mon let's get going. And don't
be stopping for a swim right?
We got a lot of inventory to
move today.
Come on.
Yes can you please just tell him
that Harrison Burk called again?
Thank you.
Brightaw! What's going on man?
Any openings at Barish Sterns?
Okay I understand.
Grits, any news on that opening at the G.S.
Account? Call me back.
Marty, Marty, Marty, love you
baby, whadda ya got for me?
Okay well just please let me
know if anything comes along.
Yeah, uh I'd like to leave a
message.
Harrison Burk.
Yeah I believe they have my
number.
Okay thank you so much.
Hey buddy, wanna sweeten your
day with some ice-cream?
The lord sweetens my day. Hello
Harry.
Hey Reverend.
I'm sorry I didn't recognize
you.
Maybe if you came to church.
Yeah I've been a little
preoccupied.
Mhmm.
Your mother's been worried about
you. Did you take a bus?
Mothers, can't live with 'em,
can't live without 'em, right?
Seeing as how you're living with
your mother at the present moment
I'm not sure that's an accurate
assessment.
I'll have an ice-cream sandwich.
Good choice.
Thank you
Uh, that's a dollar fifty.
Your dad charges me a dollar.
Of course he does.
You know Harry, faith is the
first step,
even when you can't see the
staircase.
What does that mean?
I have no idea, but when you
figure it out, you tell me.
'Cause I'm dying to know.
Waffles on a stick.
My phone's broken.
Did I do that?
No, It's my fault. It was in my
pocket.
You can have one of ours, we have
an extra it's still in the box.
No this is my new number, so
just have him call me here.
What? No I'm not under water,
I'm in the Caribbean so service
is spotty.
Yeah I'll have two Pina coladas,
thank you.
Hey Kids who wants ice-cream?
I'm not supposed to talk to
strangers
I'm a stranger I grew up here.
If you grew up then why are you
wearing a paper hat?
You want ice-cream or not?
I'm lactose intolerant.
That's over diagnosed. How about
you guys, you want some ice-cream?
Does it have gluten?
What is this, a playground or a
weight watchers meeting?
It's a church.
Are you hustling my kids for
ice-cream money?
No. Wait, you have kids?
I teach Sunday school.
It's Saturday.
Nope, it's Sunday.
What's going on Harry?
Well, I'm kind of living with my
parents again, temporarily,
and selling ice-cream. It's kind
of a sticky situation.
Oh, I'm sorry.
On the plus side I got the A
route.
Oh.
Hey! Those are my customers.
Not any more.
No poaching.
This is open turf.
Since when?
Ask your dad.
Ask your dad!
You know what? Maybe I will.
And guess what? He's a lot
bigger than yours.
Bring your whole family.
It's good to see you're all
grown up.
C'mon Kids.
Hey, a little bird told me, your
mother,
that you, what did you run into
Susie again?
I'd rather not talk about it.
You know, I've always thought
that love is a lot like ice-cream.
Dad please.
There are a lot of flavours out
there right?
And then you find one that you
love and you stick with it.
How poignant.
Thank you.
Oh, this is very important, this is gonna
go to the seniors' centre, no charge.
No charge?
No charge, it's their bingo
night.
So they're winning money at
bingo while you're losing it.
Everything's not about making
money son.
Yes you made that crystal clear.
You're giving away pistachio?
That's a big seller!
Oh, they love pistachio, it
means a lot to them.
That's nice, and when are those
new trucks coming in?
Just in time for winter?
Yeah any day now I think.
You know if you tried to make an actual
profit you wouldn't be stuck here?
Stuck?
In this town, in this life.
Well I like it here, I like this
town, I like this life.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that
way, I just want you to be..
What? Someone else.
No, it's just, ice-cream?
You could be so much more dad.
You know, you may not believe
this son,
this may not be the sexiest job,
and it sure doesn't pay the best,
but living here and with your mother
in this town, I'm actually happy.
Here you go.
You could be happier.
Well who couldn't?
So don't forget about the
seniors eh?
That's no charge,
those people are on a fixed
income they'll get very upset.
Have a nice afternoon
You're new huh?
Sort of.
Don't tell me, you're Ben's kid?
Pretty much.
I pictured somebody a little
taller.
Hey look, we need a fourth for
lawn bowling are you any good?
Probably not.
What have you got here?
It's all vanilla there's no
pistachio in here at all.
Fresh out.
That's okay, tell your dad
thanks from me and the gang huh?
You're a pretty grumpy guy for
an ice-cream man.
You should smile more you know
that?
It won't melt the ice-cream.
What are you doing?
I'm serenading you.
The house looks nice,
I see you've still got that
squeaky old porch swing.
Yup.
If this is your ice-cream pitch
it needs work.
Does your dad know you're
ruining his business?
Yes.
What do you want Harry?
I was kinda hoping you'd hop in
and ride the old route with me.
Like the old days.
It's tempting, but I'm gonna
have to say no.
Aw, c'mon I got the A route.
We could stop by the pool, I'll
let you ring the bell.
Do you use the tactics on Wall
St.?
Yes.
Do they work?
Usually.
Well, I guess they don't know
you like I do.
Actually no one knows me like
you do.
Is that Rick Johnson?
Yep.
Tennis partner?
Not exactly.
Please tell me you're not going
out with him.
He's grown up, we all have.
Well most of us.
Hey.
Hi.
Burk! I heard you were back.
Yup in all my glory.
Oh yeah, nice wheels.
Yeah, you too, finally got that
sports car huh?
Well, you've been gone a while,
that's my third one.
You a used car salesman?
Lawyer.
Same thing.
That's funny coming from an
ice-cream guy.
Actually we prefer ice-cream
technician.
Do ya?
Rick helped me negotiate the
deal with the Gallery.
She's an amazing artist.
Oh, I know.
Shouldn't you be off selling
Eskimo pies or something?
No rush, I have all day.
Oh, unfortunately we don't,
We've got a match at the club so
ciao.
My lady.
Hey wait, I can't let you leave
empty handed.
Your favourite.
You remembered.
Here councillor, on the house.
Oh yeah, ice-cream might stain
the upholstery, so thanks.
Not if it's real leather.
Oh it is.
Later Skater.
I'm sorry, I lost track of time.
That was three hundred dollars
of inventory, you realise that?
You know what? Take this
it's worth five times that.
I don't need your watch,
You need the watch, you lost
track of time.
Okay I'll sell it and pay you
for the inventory.
It's not about that, this
about responsibility.
Responsibility and character.
I'm disappointed in you son.
Tell him I'll make it up to him.
Go to your room Harry.
You need to fix that mobile,
Pluto's no longer a planet.
We're going to the Reverend's
for dinner,
If you go out, turn out the
lights.
Where am I going to go?
You know what? I think he should
just stay home,
and just think about who he
is.
Hi.
It's beautiful Susie.
Thanks.
It's for sale.
I'll take it!
Would you trade me for a watch?
No, but I'll trade you for that
doorstop.
Yeah, my new phone, actually my
parents phone,
they shop at a museum so it's
a valuable.
Ah, very vintage.
Yeah, vintage.
So, uh, you and Rick Johnson
huh?
Believe it or not he's actually
a really good guy.
Oh so he's only a jerk around
me.
Well you really bring out the
worst in him.
Just tell me it's not serious.
I dunno.
Rick Johnson, I gotta say, I
never saw that coming.
How could you? You've been gone.
Well I'm here now.
Are you?
It sure feels like it.
Come on Harry. One call from
Wall St.
And you'll take off without a
glance back.
Just like last time.
I'm sorry, I should have handled
things differently.
I just wanted to leave here so
badly.
I noticed.
I screwed up.
Was it so awful here?
No, I just, thought I wanted
more.
You got it.
I guess.
Well, I should get home.
I'll join you.
Where's your truck?
Plugged in, next to my bike.
I forgot how quiet it gets here
at night, I like it.
You didn't used to.
Dunno what you've got 'till it's
gone right?
There's that charm.
Still not working?
Nope.
How about this? Will you accept
this rose?
You do realize that that's the
Fiona Greber's prize rosebush right?
She still lives here?
Yeah.
Is that you Harry Burk
stealing my roses?
It's Rick Johnson.
Oh, you should be so lucky.
I never liked you as kid Harry,
Nothing's changed.
Sorry they'll grow back,
have a nice night.
Personally, I think she's so mean
because she has a big crush on me.
That's always a problem isn't
it?
Always.
Do you remember when we took
your truck down by the river,
and all those ducks got in?
Oh yeah, they ate all the
popsicles.
Your dad grounded you for a
month.
Yeah, I think he'll ground me
tonight.
How long this time?
'Till my 40th birthday.
Some things never change.
Some things do.
Do you think there's any way we
could just,
forget about the last eight
years?
No.
Yeah, you're right.
But I suppose we could be
friends.
Ah, the friend zone.
Hey you're lucky to be getting
the friend zone considering.
I'll take what I can get.
Hi.
Hey, you ready?
Sure, where we going?
Ha Ha.
Harry and I were just talking
about old days.
Ah well, you know what they say,
The past is history, tomorrow's
a mystery, and today's a present.
Who says that?
Well it definitely wasn't an
ice-cream man.
Maybe a used car salesman?
Lawyer.
So you keep saying.
Would you two stop it?
We can't.
Oh no I can, 'cause see, I got
the girl.
Oh, and the job, and the car,
awkward.
See? You can't stop.
Revenge is sweet.
And a dish best served cold.
So basically revenge is
ice-cream, which reminds me,
it's past my curfew, goodnight
Susie, Rick.
Goodnight Harry, say hi to your
parents for me.
Yeah me too.
Let's face facts here, we're not
getting any younger,
and we both said this was gonna
be our last season.
I was just kinda hoping we'd go
out with a bang and not a thud.
We'll get through this.
Of course we will.
Get through what?
Huh, I thought you were upstairs
in your room.
Where'd you go?
Who cares, what do you mean last
season?
Honey, we didn't want you to
know.
Are you sick?
No.
Dad?
I'm shutting it down.
Rocky Road is finished, come
labour day that's it,
we're closing the doors.
What about the new trucks.
There's no new trucks, I can't
compete look you know these,
they're opening up ice-cream parlours
and frozen yogurt places everywhere
nice places too.
I can't compete.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you tell me you were
fired?
I dunno, I just
See, same thing.
Actually to tell you the truth I just
didn't want you to see me as a failure.
But now, as things turn out, you
were right all along.
Dad, we can fix this.
It's done, Marla.
'Night Harry.
What's all the racket, what's
all this?
I'm pretty sure it's every
present I've ever given you.
BluRay, flat screen T.V., Wireless
speakers, electric foot massager,
New microwave, electric knives,
Panini Grill,
the Juicer you remember of
course,
and what kitchen would be
complete
without a Japanese rice cooker?
How's she gonna get the rice on
those little sticks?
I can try.
Well I thought you should at
least try everything,
whatever you don't want you can
give to the seniors centre.
Arigato, Harry.
You'd better wait until we get
the electric bill.
Fresh squeezed.
Now how many oranges would you have
to use to get a glass this size?
Just try it.
That's amazing, isn't that
great?
You know what someone once told
me?
Life is a lot like ice-cream,
enjoy it before it melts.
I cannot believe that you
remember that.
I remember.
Did you remember to get electric
skewers for your mum?
I did not.
Welcome everyone, it's good to see
you out on such a beautiful day.
I'm seeing a lot of old friends,
a lot of new friends, and Harry Burk.
It's never too late, is it?
It's never too late Harry, but
please, no more interruptions.
The Lord does work in wondrous
ways.
Seeing Harry back with us today is
the perfect lead in to todays sermon,
The Wayward son, God's love is
unwavering even when one is lost.
The Bible says: And not many days
after, the younger son, like Harry,
Gathered and took his journey into
a far country, like New York City.
And there, wasted his substance
with riotus living, like town cars,
beautiful penthouse apartments,
and expense accounts.
Now obviously I'm paraphrasing people,
but that's the least of my sins.
What the Bible is saying here,
is that we are all equally wise,
and equally foolish. Let us
pray, Harry.
Why do I feel like that whole
sermon was directed towards me?
Well you should have heard last
week's sermon.
What, that was about me too?
You look nice.
You too.
Thank you, it's the only jacket
my mom hasn't shrunk... yet
You could do your own laundry.
I'm not allowed.
Oh.
8 cylinder of course right?
Susie?
Hi!
I just talked to your parents in
Florida, they want you to call more.
Really? I call every day.
Twice a day would be good.
So nice to see you two kids
together again.
We're not together mom, Susie's
with Rick.
Hasn't that blown over yet
honey?
Mom.
Hey, Mrs. Burk, I didn't know
your husband was a car guy.
Actually our first date was in a
'68 Shelby Cobra.
Dad had a sports car?
He built it himself in the
garage.
You kids think we were never
your age,
you'd be shocked at some of the
things we did.
Ugh, over sharing mom.
Why don't you two join us for
lunch?
Oh, yeah, we'd love to.
Um, actually we got that thing.
What "Thing"?
It's a work thing, at my firm.
It's Sunday, It is Sunday,
right?
Uh, yeah.
Look, I didn't want to do this
here.
Is this about Dallas?
How do you know about Dallas?
Your mother talks to her
hairdresser,
her hairdresser talks to Fiona's
sister,
Fiona's sister told Fiona,
and Fiona told me at Sushi Clas.
What's in Dallas?
Me, and I hope you too.
Uh,
I was offered partner, at the
Dallas office.
That's fantastic knows, I for
one, am elated.
I start right after labor day,
and I want you to come with me.
What?
Come here
Come with me.
Rick, I can't just leave,
everything's here, my home, my work.
I know, I've thought it all out,
Look Pat can run the Gallery
here,
My Frat buddy has connections with
the top art dealers in Dallas,
You can paint anywhere, right?
Look it's only for two years, and then
we can move back here if you want.
You really have thought this all
out.
Yeah I was gonna tell you
tonight,
over a romatic dinner but, are
you still here?
Look, I know it's none of my
business,
but what kind of offer is that?
You expect her to just follow you
across the country without a commitment?
Without any promise of a future?
Harry.
No, we're friends right? Friends
don't let friends go to Dallas.
Burk, for once, you're right.
Wait, what are you doing, I'm
just spitballing here, get up.
Marry me Susie.
I love you, and I would have
asked you eventually, so why wait?
We've only been going out for
six months.
But we've known each other our
whole lives,
I don't wanna make the same
mistake he did,
I don't wanna leave you behind.
No fair I was a lot younger than
you.
I don't know what to say.
Say you'll think about it.
You okay?
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Hey! You've got work to do Mr.
Let's go, fun time's over.
Harry!
No free ice-cream until
wednesday guys.
Does it look like we want free
ice-cream?
C'mon over here for a sec.
C'mon I bet on horses faster
than you, hurry up.
Do me a favour, gimme that paper
hat will ya?
Ya know, just because you're
scared to lawn bowl
doesn't mean you gotta drive
around looking like a chump okay?
Here's a little something from the
gang here at the seniors centre,
one for you, one for your dad,
one for whats-his-name.
Anyway just our little way of saying
thank you for, for everything.
Thank you Jerry, thank you guys.
And uh, we'll see you next
wednesday huh?
And uh, Don't forget the
pistachio this time huh?
I won't.
He's a good kid huh?
How'd it go?
Jerry gave us some hats.
Oh, nice, what about ice-cream,
did you sell any ice-cream?
Not much.
I don't understand it, Sunday
was our best day.
You know, you wanted me to think
about who I am?
Well I have, truth is, I'm a
selfish, shallow jerk,
who walked away from everybody
who cared about him,
and lost sight of what's
important.
And all these years, I've been
trying not to be like you.
I know, I embarrass you, I
always have.
Dad, I'm sorry.
There's no reason to apologize,
it's okay.
No, It's not.
You know, It doesn't really
matter what you do in this life,
What matters is that when you do decide
to do something, you do it right.
You do it with integrity, and
from the heart.
I thought I was, but I was just
kidding myself.
I was a shark, afraid to stop
moving,
because if I did, I might
realize how empty I was.
I forgot what it's like to be around
people who actually care about each other.
If I accomplish nothing else this
summer, and I probably won't,
I'm gonna bring your business
back.
No that's not true, we're gonna
bring the business back. You and me.
Are you a magician or something?
A salesman, just like you.
Yeah except I sell fudge bars,
you sell hedge funds.
Like I said, we're both
salesmen, try it on.
According to market research,
Espresso's the new latte,
bagel's the new muffin,
Fro-yo's the ice-cream, and
greek yogurt's the new Fro-yo.
I dunno what you're talking
about.
Trends.
See that's all you do on Wall
st. isn't it? you follow trends.
No, we make trends.
Trends are fickle.
So are customers.
That's true, I'll tell you
what's not fickle, ice-cream.
It's always cold, it's always
sweet, and it alwys tastes good.
And when the weather turns cold
so does the business,
And we have to deal with that
seasonal issue.
You're right, you're right,
you're right.
And we need a new slogan.
Why? What's wrong with that slogan?
"Everybody needs Ice-cream",
What's wrong with that?
First of all, nobody needs
ice-cream.
Well you can't go and say that,
"Nobody needs ice-cream"?
We need something that pops.
That pops.
"What happens on the truck stays
on the truck"?
Heheh, no.
"Ice-cream never sleeps."
You kidding me?
Okay, it melts.
Unless you plug of course,
sorry.
I dunno, I always thought things
would just stay the same.
Change isn't always a bad thing.
It's not always good either.
It can be, there's been a few
improvements since the VCR.
Alright, I'll tell you one thing
that I wouldn't mind changing.
That song. That music on the truck
has been the same for 20 years,
it's driving me mental.
Then why do you keep playing it?
I dunno, I guess I'm just lazy,
it's a habit.
Dad you can listen to anything
you want,
what do you wanna hear? Rock?
Classical, Oldies?, New age?
Really? I like Jazz, I could
have Jazz.
Jazz...
Retro yet edgie, soothing yet
somehow distrubing, I like it.
Really?
Yeah.
You're not just saying that to
make me feel good?
Jazz.
Imagine an ice-cream truck that
plays Jazz.
Take me to it Daddy-o.
That'd be pretty good.
Yeah.
Good shot, Here you go Jer-Bear.
Thank you Harry, really appreciate
this, gonna hit the spot.
Here, put these in the freezer
will ya?
I know how many are supposed to
be in there.
Alright, okay.
Let's show this guy something he can't
learn on the internet 'eh fellas?
Woah woah woah woah!
Alright here we go eh.
I thought you'd never done this
before huh?
It's not nice to lie to your
elders.
Look at that!
I get first dibs on the
ice-cream.
Re-match Jerry, next week.
Next week.
See ya Harry.
Those guys are intense.
Jerry's city champ, how much did
you lose?
A box of pistachio bars.
Ugh, you got off easy, I had to
paint the activity room.
So, Dallas, you'll need some
cowboy boots, and a big hat.
Dallas actually has some paved roads
these days, with buildings and everything.
Is that what Rick told you?
'Cause you cant trust anything
that guys says, he's a Lawyer.
Well, If you're asking if I've
decided yet, I haven't.
Good.
You do realize this doesn't
actually involve you.
Actually it does, he wouldn't
have proposed if it wasn't for me.
So you're saying you don't think
he's really in love with me.
Of course he's in love with you,
who wouldn't be?
Shouldn't you get that?
It can wait.
What if it's a job offer?
I have a job, besides I can't
leave here right now.
What's wrong?
Rocky Roads is closing its
coolers.
What?
Yeah, My dad didn't want to tell
me.
He didn't want to look like a
failure in front of me.
I'm so sorry, Rocky Roads is
his whole life
I know.
I can't imagine this place
without it.
You know, your parents gave me
my first paint set.
Oh yeah, the pink eisel.
Yeah, it was my tenth birthday,
and we had pink ice-cream too.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You know, if you need help with
anything, just let me know.
You snooze you lose old-timer
Old timer?
That must hurt.
You're the same age as me.
Oh, cut him off at 4th and settle
this thing at the kiddy pool.
See you tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
It's Sunday, church.
Wow, that's four times in four
weeks.
You counting?
Everyone is, Reverend's got a
pool going.
Hey, Mr.Price.
Hey buddy boy.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Alright here it is.
Any longer and I'm gonna be as
old as you man!
C'mon gramps I 'ain't got all
day.
Hey I'm just closing a deal,
talk later.
Ethnic food's pretty popular
these days.
Yeah there's a lot of signs
there.
It doesn't go bad as quick.
That's a good point.
You boys gonna be at this for a
while?
Ice-cream never sleeps
sweetheart.
Can I get you anything else? Hot
water and lemon?
Okay now I don't want you to
take this the wrong way,
but I never want to see another
cup of hot water and lemon again.
I guess a little coffee couldn't
hurt.
Make mine a double espressso,
it's an all-nighter here.
Harrison, where do we keep the
high octane stuff?
Uh, between the electric pepper
mill and the rice cooker.
Oh, I'm starving.
She does these great.
Sticks.
What?
Sticks are the new forks.
I know how we're gonna save
Rocky Road.
Oh that's Major, you want all
the ovens?
Yeah, sounds good
You're the boss.
Oh, now you're catching on.
Yeah, it takes me a while, when
I get there I get there.
Woah dudes, what happened here?
Well we're re-tooling, if you
wanna know.
We're diversifying see.
We're gonna do cold food in the
summer,
we're gonna do comfort food in
the winter, and you're late again.
Oh yeah sorry, 'cause I was at
the..
The Library?
Oh how'd you know?
Lucky guess.
My son doesn't tolerate
lateness,
you wanna work here, you gotta
be on time.
So grab some gloves, and pass me
the channel locks okay?
Uh, the which?
Blue handles.
Am I still on the B route?
Oh all that's changing too.
There ya go.
Cool.
Hello.
Hey.
Listen to this.
Okay, well there's also this.
Oh, Fiona Draper's garden?
No, she had a dog in her yard.
It's a Chihuahua
Well it sounded bigger.
Come in, I'm almost finished.
Wow, I haven't been here since..
You plugged your truck into the
house and blew the electrical panel?
Right, I forgot about that.
My parents didn't, they still
mention it.
They do?
Yup, and now that I talk to them
twice a day they mention it a lot.
Here, take a look I finished
your new artwork.
It's amazing!
Yeah do you like it?
I love it.
Thank you Susie.
You're welcome.
You know if you didn't put me in
the friend zone, I'd hug you.
Friends can hug.
Come here.
Can they kiss?
Alright, when is the grand
reopening?
Labor day weekend, the same say you're
going to break Rick Johnson's heart.
You never give up do you?
Like a recurring nightmare.
I was thinking more along the
lines of pest, but nightmare works.
Okay labor day weekend, are you
thinking Saturday, Sunday, or Monday?
Saturday so we have three solid
days to sell.
I thought so.
Hey, I thought you tore up all
our old pictures.
Oh, right, well how many girls can say they
went to their prom in an ice cream truck?
Yeah, sorry about that.
Are you kidding? that was the
best.
You were freezing
No, it was the best.
Yeah.
Mhmm.
Hey, you still got that
trampoline out back?
What do you think?
Sweet.
This used to be a lot easier.
Oh man, I'm too old for that.
Yes you are.
It feels like I never left
this place.
Almost.
There's 8 million people in
Manhattan.
It's crazy to think that with 8 million people
living with you, you can still feel alone.
Do you feel alone here?
No, how could I with everyone
watching my every move?
What does that guy have a GPS on
me or something?
No, we're meeting the Reverend
here.
Oh.
Councelling.
For Rick's emotional
shortcomings?
Premarital councelling.
Oh no.
Well, you want me to leave out
the back gate?
We're not in High School.
You're not, I'm not so sure
about me and him.
Well he probably already saw
your bike on the front lawn so.
Right.
Oh what a treat, it's Rick.
You look nice.
Thank you.
Not you.
Did you tip my bike?
Nope, looks like you got a flat
tire though. Tough break.
That's funny, it wasn't flat
when I got here.
Don't look at me.
Well it's hard to avoid it when
you seem to show up everywhere.
Ugh, I'll drop the artwork off
at the printers okay?
Thanks Susie.
You're welcome, Hi.
Come here.
Harry.
Oh hey Reverend.
Looks like you got a flat tire
there.
Yeah.
What are you doing with that
toothpick?
Nothing.
Good, because we don't believe
in an eye for an eye.
What about a tire for a tire?
Turn the other cheek.
Right, so Premarital councelling
huh?
Yeah, I look forward to doing
that for you one day.
Give it here, come on.
I'll see you in church Harry.
Still Sunday right?
Sunday and every day.
Well, that was interesting.
I think there's a few things we
need to work on.
Oh! Rick remember, the key is
listening.
Got it.
What?
I said got it.
I'm just kidding.
I was nervous.
It's okay.
I gotta go, I'll call you later?
Yeah, would you mind dropping
this off at the printers for me?
According to the Reverend I
should say yes.
All the information's on the
post it,
I just called and they're gonna
do a rush job for me.
Ten to Four P.M. stone park,
Saturday Labour day weekend.
Got it!
See, listening, doing.
Yeah, great, thank you.
Okay, I am gonna do this, I'm a good
boy, I'm a catch, listening and doing.
Yeah, listening and doing, you can do
this, you can do this, listening and doing.
Okay, on a mission, I am going
to do this.
Susie said you were expecting this, all
the information's on the post-it note...
Uh, alright it's Stone Park,
Labor day, ten a.m. to four p.m.
Looks like labor day's on Monday
the third this year.
See, I'm a listener.
These Rocky Road signs are all
over town.
You know what I don't get?
Another card.
Why would they have the grand
opening on a Monday?
I mean it makes more sense to do
it on a Saturday,
that way you take advantage of
the three day weekend.
Well there ought to be an ordanace
against posting signs on every corner.
I don't think so Fiona.
Well there ought to be, and you
should bring it up at Sunday sermon.
Sunday's sermon is love thy
neighbour.
I'm gonna give Harry a call,
it's bad business!
I wouldn't play that one.
I'm sure Harry knows what he's
doing and it's a no talk game Fiona.
You seen how much time Susie's
been spending with that boy?
I don't know what she sees in
him.
He's a good kid, give him a
break.
He's a Rose thief, and she ought
to stick with that Johnson boy.
Let's see how it all plays out.
Hahaha. Gin.
Told you not to play that card.
Oh I wish we were playing for
money.
Is it delicious?
Here try one.
Mmm, delicious!
Really?
Yeah.
Delicious.
Oh!
It's perfect.
Really?
Really.
I can't believe summer's ending
already.
Yeah I know it went by so fast.
Yeah it did.
You know where time goes really
slow?
Texas.
Is that so?
Mhmm, Cowboy Rick's hitting the
trail Tuesday right?
Will you be riding shotgun?
I haven't decided.
Well you know the Reverend says if you truly
love someone you don't have to decide,
you just know.
When did the Reverend say that?
Last Sunday at church, I guess
I'm winning the pool.
Okay maybe I said it.
Maybe you just don't want Rick
to win.
If I hadn't left town would we
still be together?
I don't know.
I do.
Don't do this Harry.
Don't try and charm me back into this
again, because you're just going to leave!
You know you are.
Okay are we done yet?
You know we hit the road tomorrow
we gotta be ready, let's go.
Are we done?
Susie.
I think we are.
It's fantastic, isn't it Ben?
Ben what's wrong are you sick?
Am I sick? no, I'm not sick, why
would I be sick?
Do you not like it Mr.Burk?
What? No, the truck is fantastic
it's a great job.
No I just suppose I'm starting
to feel a little nerves,
I mean we start tomorrow and I don't
want to fail in front of my family.
You know dad, no matter what
happens, you're already a success.
Me?
Yes you.
You know I've been looking up to these
heavy hitters on Wall st. for years,
I should have been looking up to
you.
You're there for people, you're
honest, your word is your word,
I mean you give away free
ice-cream to cheer people up,
while your business is going
under.
Some people say that man's a
fool.
No dad, that's the kind of man I
wanna be.
Well thank you son, thanks son.
What time is it?
Where's your watch?
We sold it to buy the grill.
Look this is a disaster there's
nobody coming.
They'll come.
We've been here two hours.
Hey boss, I mean this is a bust,
you think I can take off?
Take off Razor, see you later.
I don't get it, we did
everything right.
Maybe we over sold, maybe we
just pushed too hard I dunno.
How can no one show up?
The Reverend, you're friends,
not even Susie.
I saw her at the bakery with
Rick this morning,
I didn't want to say anything,
she was wearing a cowboy hat.
I guess that's it then.
Well, We tried.
I'm sorry dad, I really wanted
this for us.
Nothing to be sorry about,
Okay let's just pack up the food
and let's get out of here.
Yo guys, I can't believe I
didn't notice this,
some idiot wrote Labour day as a
Monday.
Lemme see this.
Check it out.
Oh well the food's not going to
keep for two days.
Razor, smart phone, Stat.
I'll Ping everyone with twitter,
there is twitter here right?
What do you think, we're
dinosaurs?
Hey dude, look I'm on Twitter,
Instagram, Facebook, Vine, and Kick.
Gimme that thing.
Okay it's gotta be a good
hashtag though.
Okay, I got this.
Oh Rick.
Hey, check this out.
Oh my, Let's go.
Oh this is exciting, come on
everybody, let's go, come on!
Hey guys check this out! We
gotta go.
Huh?
Ah, look at this, looks like
they're sticking with us after all.
Let's get this party Started.
Hiya, come on through.
Good thing I've got 7000
followers on twitter huh?
That 6999 more than I have.
Excuse me, could I have your
attention please?
I'd just like to say a few
words.
You have no idea how good it is
to see all of you.
It's funny this truck used to
embarrass me,
but I guess it took losing everything
to find out what's really important.
Turns out it's been right in
front of me all along,
and at the risk of sounding
corny,
sometimes the best road is the
Rocky Road home.
Okay form a line here, I'll start
taking orders. This is what we got,
Cheeseburger on a stick, Tuna?
Okay.
You did a good job.
We did a good job.
That was a really good speech,
did you mean all that?
You couldn't tell?
Well you are quite the smooth
talker.
Well I'm not that smooth or else
you wouldn't be going to Dallas.
Yeah, well, I'll come back to
visit.
And I'll be here.
Hey, look I owe you an apology.
Just one?
Look I think I might have screwed
up your poster, not intentionally.
It's okay.
It is?
Yeah,
I mean we've been trying to let the air
out of each other's tires for a while now.
That wasn't me.
It's okay man, I want us to
start over.
As what?
Friends.
Friends?
We already have a couple things in
common, we both don't like eachother,
and we care about the same girl.
Well, good luck in Dallas. Take
good care of her.
I will.
Hey, you ever want lawn bowling
lessons kid, just let me know alright?
You know what Jerry? I might
take you up on that.
Alright, take care.
There we are, we did it.
I mean what a day a total
sellout, unbelieveable.
Hey we'll have to go back
tomorrow.
Cash and carry?
I have to get this.
Hey Mr.Price.
You're not taking my calls that
can only mean one thing right?
Who stole you away? G.S.? Not
Meryl,
Can't have you working for the
enemy now can we?
So here it is, I'm prepared to offer you
your apartment, car, expense account,
and your job back, starting
yesterday with a 10% bonus.
That's very generous, but I'm
going to have to say no.
Always negotiating eh Harrison?
You know you've been like a son
to me so I can go to uh 20%.
Actually I already have a Father,
he's right here next to my mother.
We've got two trucks and if business
goes the way I think it will,
We'll have four by winter and
then six,
and then one day in the not to
distant future,
You're going to look out of your
hermetically sealed high rise window
and see one of those trucks, and
A billboard,
maybe even a little sky writing,
overselling?
Not at all.
You're going to give up
everything for that?
That is everything, that's my
family.
I guess I had you wrong.
I had me wrong too. Goodbye Mr.Price,
when we go public we'll call you.
Alright, I'm gonna need two things:
My own place and a new phone.
Preferablly smaller than a
coffin.
I gotta tell you son, I'm very
proud of you Harrison.
Thanks dad. What do you say we
go back to Harry?
Absolutely not! What kind of a
name is Harry
for the head of a company like
this?
Hey Harry.
Tyler my man, what can I get
you?
Three cheddar sticks please.
Aren't you lactose intolerant?
Nah, you were right, I was
mis-diagnosed.
There you go.
Thanks.
What can I get for ya Fiona?
Well I'll have the fish and
chips on a stick.
Good choice.
And uh, stay out of my roses
Harry,
or I'll take the air out of your
other tire.
That was you?
Pssssssss.
Looking good old man.
Who you calling old man? Why don't
you get back there and re-stock,
looks like we're gonna need it.
Alright, alright.
Harry.
I got something for the seniors
centre.
Please, no more ice cream, we
got enough to last us a month.
Better than Ice cream, and it
won't melt.
What the heck is this?
Turns out I was over gifting,
think you could use some speakers?
What HI-FI?
Surround sound.
Aw thank you very much, that's
very kind of you,
let's see if I can get that kid of
yours to help me carry this thing.
The Gotlands are renewing their
vows next month,
you interested in catering?
I'll check our schedule.
I'll take that as a yes.
I thought you were heading out
today!
I thought so too.
Flight delay?
Nope, I got all the way to the
airport but, I couldn't do it.
I told Rick no.
You did?
Yeah, I think he was relieved.
I know I am.
I mean I'm sorry, actually, I'm
not sorry,
I couldn't be less sorry.
So you're staying?
Yeah I'm staying.
That's great, because I gotta be
honest, I'm not over you Susie,
and I never will be.
I'm not over you either.
Don't mind us.
Ride with me?
Yeah.
I got the A route.
Ooh
and I'm the C.E.O
Can I drive?
No, it's very technical machine.
Yeah I remember, I've driven it
before remember?
We got big plans for this
company.
How many trucks you gonna have?
Two trucks by the end of the year,
we're gonna get Razor in one,
I'll be in the other.
Yeah get Razor in a truck.
Maybe I'll get you in a truck.
I'll sell millions of fish on a
stick.
