Jep & Jessica: Growing the Dynasty (2016–2017): Season 2, Episode 13 - Buy, Buy, This American Pie - full transcript

I am so honored
to be here today,

to celebrate the opening
of Jep's food truck.

Yay!

After a lot of work,
and some blood, sweat

and tears...

We are finally launching
my food truck.

Jep's Southern Roots.

But weren't we
suppose to do this

like a month ago?

Well yeah, we were suppose to,

but dad had to do it
all himself.



And he got behind
getting the permit.

Well Jess, look what I've done.

I mean, look how
awesome it looks.

I mean, babe,
I could've helped out

with some of the work.

I mean...

It's fine.
I did it all.

There's an air
conditioner in there.

Custom vent hood.

It's got refrigerators, sinks.

Yup.

Took a little bit of work, okay.

And I did it all.

You did?



I sure did, Kathy.

Well, I mean, I do think if you

would've just asked
for some help,

we could've got done way sooner.

You want a pat on the back?

I want more than that.

Okay.

I think this project
was just really so

important to me because
I wanted to take it

from the bottom,
just me, build it up,

and make it something cool.

With no help.

All right, so who's ready for

the ribbon cutting?

Woo!
Woo!

Okay.

With the cutting of this ribbon,

I officially declare
Jep's Southern Roots...

open for business.

You excited?
I'm excited.

Whoo!

We gon' have an
NBA kind of party

up in here.

Get ready!

He looks so special.

Jep!
Come on, babe.

We gotta go.

I'm doing the sign.

You're not done with the sign?

You've been working on
this for like thirty minutes.

Well, I keep erasing it.

Just let me do the sign.

I can do-

No.
I got it.

Thank you.

Who went to art class?

Me.

Yeah, your bubble
letters are super pretty.

Jep, we're gonna miss
the lunch rush, babe.

I'll be done in
like five minutes.

So we need to hurry up.

Mom.
Dad.

Who wants to buy chocolates?

Ooh, I love chocolates.

What are you selling it for?

Uhm, my soccer fundraiser.

What do you get
if you sell all those?

I get an iPad.

Well then you need
to sell the most.

I'll buy one.

Okay.

She can do it.

There you go.

Thanks.

All right,
there's your one sell.

Turn it into more.

Only one?

We're not buying any candy bars.

We're not gonna help you.

You need to be responsible
and help your soccer team.

Scilla, you're gonna
have to learn

the value of a dollar,

and I can't teach you
that working on

this food truck.

Lily and Merritt wasn't.
They got help.

They just went
to Duck Commander.

You gonna have to
teach yourself.

Yeah, but you did it
for Lily and Merritt.

Exactly.

And we said we'd never
do that again.

Yeah.

Sorry you were born later.

It happened to me a lot.

I was born last,
I got what was left over.

Can you take me to
Duck Commander

tomorrow again.

Nope. Nope.
Not it.

Jep.

I can't do it.
I'm too busy.

I'm ten.

I can't get there by myself.

She's got a point.

Just get an Uber.
It's fine.

What!

That would never happen,

and you know we're
never doing that.

Well, West Monroe has
a good bus system.

Don't listen to dad.

Scilla, we are so
busy doing this

food truck stuff,

it's just not the right time.

You'll have to figure
it out, Scill.

We gotta go.

We'll figure something
out later, baby, okay.

Let us get this done.

Okay.

I love you.
I love you.

Put up your chocolate.

Memaw will eat 'em all.

Jess, you don't realize
how hard it is to

write these letters.

Some letters are hard.

Yeah, for you.

This is perfect.

Love it.

In God we crust.

Looks good!

You ready?

All right, let's get to cooking.

That was an awkward-

You gotta work on
your high fives.

Can you believe it?

We're finally doing.

We're gonna sell out of these in

probably an hour.

You think?

Yeah!

Oop.

Here's somebody drivin' by,
lookin' sayin',

"What is going on there?
I don't know,

but I gotta come
see it."

Okay, we're ready!

Just waiting on the oven.

They're turning brown
a little bit now.

Woo-hoo!
First batch.

I think we've taken care
of every little detail.

We've got our cute little boxes,

we got a tip jar,
napkins, condiments.

Now we need is customers.

Soon as we get an order,
I am like organized-

Yo!
We open now.

We open.

Like, we need some-

Customers.

Yeah.

Come on up.
Step right up.

Yeah.

Where's the people at?

We should have a line by now.

Well, we did kind of hit
after the lunch hour.

Yellow.

Hey, what's up?

How do I order?

There's a sign right here.

Yer Mom 'N' Em's chicken.

Yer Dad 'N' Em's beef.

Yer Maw 'N' Law, that's veggie.

Yer Mom 'N' Em.

Yer Mom 'N' Em.
Coming up!

Yer Mom 'N' Em coming up!

The first customer.
This is a big deal.

Yay!

You're our first customer.

You're the first
customer, buddy.

This is a little bit
harder than I thought

it was gonna be.

Like from the prep,

getting the food truck ready,

getting out there at
a decent time....

It's a lot of work
to run a food truck.

Like a lot-a lot.

We're gonna be running
out of time here.

I don't see anyone.

This whole town die?

Well, I think part of
the reason why

we don't have a crowd is...

you forgot to do anything
on social media.

Crap, Jess.

I think we 'bout miss
the lunch crowd.

That one thing I forgot.

Which was a biggie!

If people don't know about it,

they're not gonna come.

I'm getting' bored now.

I know.
It's been awhile.

Hi!

Hey!
What's up?

I'll have the chicken.

Chicken?

Yeah.

You gotta say it.

You see it up there
with the name?

Yer Mom 'N' Em.

Yer Mom 'N' Em!

You know, when you're
doing everything,

sometimes you forget
a few small details.

I tried to help
you with other stuff.

Maybe this spot you picked out

was not the best.

I thought you picked
this spot out.

No, you picked this spot out!

Maybe I did pick it out.

We've got a lot invested
in this thing.

So... we need to see
some benefits.

We gotta do something different.

I'm gonna call Katie May
my friend who

works for the city.

She does some city planning, so,

maybe she can tell
us where to go.

Cause yeah, we gotta know where

thee events are in town.

If you do a lot of events,
then you get known.

That's what I'm sayin',
let's get known.

At least we made
fifty bucks today.

Actually, forty-nine,
'cause I'm gonna

save that first dollar.

Jep.

I am.

I'm gonna put it in frame.

So that may cost
like five bucks, so.

Forty-five bucks.

Better than nothing.
All right.

I say better than nothing,

but I am little bit
disappointed.

You gotta be quick, Godwin.

You're faster than I thought
you would be.

Quicker!

Look, I need some
slogans for my food truck.

Slogan?

I need some slogans, like,

like with pie in 'em.

You know?

Our pies aren't the
only thing crusty.

Nah.

Our service is second to none.

I mean, that's good,
but it's kind of generic.

Buy one, get one free.

No.

Free drink with each purchase.

No.

We have comfortable seats.

It's a food truck,
you don't sit down.

We've got gas.

Ay!

Hey, guys!

Hey.

Hello.

Priscilla's selling
chocolate bars to anybody

who wants some.

Yeah.

I'm selling for my
soccer team so

I can get an iPad.

Let's see what you get here.

I'm interested.

Priscilla, you gotta pitch it.

You gotta sell it.

It's not just a chocolate bar,

it has the crunch of
a pretzel in it.

Jess, you gotta let her do it.

Sorry.

Well, I was a sucker,
and gave in.

Shut it down, Jess.

I'd buy some, but I'm on a diet.

We all know that's a lie.

I am on a diet.

Look Scill, you're not going to

get everything handed to
you on a silver platter.

You gotta put in the work,

just like I did with
the food truck.

Martin, do you want any?

Please.

Aw.

How could you say no
to that sweet face?

Well maybe if
you asked for help,

you would've sold more
pies yesterday,

but who knows.

This is true.

All right.

Give me two of 'em.

Thank you.

I think today is reward day.

And so is tomorrow.

I got fifteen dollars,
give me seven

and half of them.

You're not gonna eat
eight candy bars

in one day, are you?

What?
Is that a challenge?

Thanks Godwin.

Here you go.

Welcome to the Duck Call room.

Boy.

This is where all
the magic happens.

Hello.
Hi.

And so this is the

Duck Commander employees-

In their natural habitat.

They're just eating chocolate
and what not.

Hey Rucker, you realize we're

not caged animals right?

That's debatable.

Debatable?

We'll go ahead and head
on in to the warehouse.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Scilla, you really wanna

make some money,
you'll follow that tour

around with them candy bars.

Rucker takes forever.

They gonna be hungry
before they get out of here.

That's a good idea.

You hear me?

Go get 'em, Scill.

Don't say nothing
'bout the iPad.

It's all for the kids.
It's all for the kids.

Babe, remember we're
meeting the event coordinator

later on,
so don't be late, okay.

Yeah.
Okay.

All right, love you.

Good job, Scill.

I'm proud of you.

Go get 'em.

I'll bring some more chocolate-

No we won't.

That's what I'm
talking about, Scill.

Do it.

We'll be out by tomorrow.

Almost ready.

Well, we just added
on to the house.

You got to come see it.

I will!

Hey, what's up?

Hi!

Remember Katie May?

I do.
Hello!

What?

Fist bump.

I just started that.

Well, yeah-

It s coming back now.

Sorry.

It's awkward.

Katie May is a friend of mine.

And she is an event coordinator

for the West Monroe area.

What we need is
for you to hook us up

with some bellies.

Yes.

Heavy people.

They don't have to
be heavy to be hungry, Jep.

Well, I'm just saying,

the heavier the better.

They buy two pies.

The food truck
industry is new here,

so she can really
tell us where to plug in

and where would be
the best places for us to go.

Is it good?

That might be
the best chicken potpie

I've ever had.

Thank you.

Cha-ching!
You're welcome.

Well, my daughter's
first birthday

is in a couple days,

and we're having a party...

would y'all like to
come and set up?

It's gonna be pretty big.

Like seventy five people.

No problem.

Think you can handle that?

Seventy-five, seven hundred...

we'll be fine.

No.

Jep.

It's baby steps.

So seventy five sounds great.

Okay.

I do have a contract that
I'll send over

to you guys for
y'all to read over.

Okay.

Make sure you read and sign it,

and send it back.

And if all goes well,

then I will be happy
to really get y'alls name

out there and get you
all scheduled

at some events around town.

Yes.

And get y'all going.

You give us the bodies,
we'll give 'em the food.

Awesome!

Okay!

Thank you.

Good seeing you.

Good to see you.

Enjoy the potpies.

Thank y'all.

See yeah.

Bye.

Thank for coming.

First deal.

Boom.

What I'd tell you?

I got us a gig.

Got us a sweet gig.

All right, come on, babe.

Let's get this loaded.

You think we're covered
for the party?

We got enough of everything?

I planned out this party.

I got plenty of stuff for it.

I did the math, and
it's all right..

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Look, this party,
it's gotta be perfect.

It's gonna be perfect.

No mistakes.

I'm gonna go Gordon
Ramsey on y'all

if it ain't perfect.

I'm gonna throw it in
the garbage can.

You're the one making it,

so you're gonna be
throwing your own food

in the garbage.

Hey baby.

Hey!

You got it?

What-what are you?

What is that?

More chocolate bars.

More chocolate bars?

Scill, we're done with that.

Priscilla, you sold
all your chocolate bars.

That was only round one.

What?

Scilla.

Can you get these?

They're heavy.

God.

Scilla...

Baby, we're done with
this, okay.

These fundraiser
deals are basically

pyramid schemes.

They're just trying to get in
mom and daddy's wallet.

And in grandparents wallets,

and just take all their money.

Dad, I have to
sell more for an iPad.

You can save up your allowance

and get an iPad.

That'll take me years.

A good ten years,
baby, you'll get that iPad.

No.

You can take it
to college with you.

How many rounds are there?

I don't understand.

Do they tell you how
many rounds or-

Till you are bankrupt.

No.

That's how many rounds there is.

You're getting scammed.

Pyramid scheme.

By the man.

They just keep-

"Nice job.
Here's another round."

Yeah.

That's where they get you.

You are under a bridge,

wondering how I'd
lose it all, and you think,

"Yup, I remember.

That stupid fundraisers
took all my money."

Scilla, if you want an iPad,

you gotta sell 'em.

It's on you.

Cause you need to
learn responsibility.

Dad, I can't sell 'em.

Yup.

You need to put on your
big girl pants

and go sell 'em.

Get your boxes, take 'em inside.

Come up with a plan.

All right.

I love you.

Git 'er done, Scill.

You go it.

So we got everything loaded,

are we-are we ready?

Yeah we're ready.

You got all-

Do I look ready?

That's what Scilla should do.

She'd sell a lot of candy bars

if she had that face.

You want a candy bar?

Jep, you're so ridiculous.

All right, let's do this.

Man.

That's a lot of celery.

Hey babe.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I'm working,

what is does it look
like I'm doing?

I know,

but why are you doing that here?

We have to do this
in a commercial kitchen.

Did you not read the
papers that I gave you?

This is a health code violation.

Jess, I have
hundred pies to make,

I can be worried about codes
and violations.

Look, I appreciate
that you're doing this work,

but you're just taking on
too much yourself.

Like you need help.

I don't like people's help.

Look, you need to call your mom,

see if we can get back in
there at some point, okay?

Okay.

Listen, you wanna make
a food truck, good luck

it's tough.

Yeah, there was
a lot of screw ups.

Yeah, that honey,
that was a problem.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

What do you have
to sell it for in

to make money?

Like, thirty dollars a jar.

Yeah, I don't
see making money on that.

What about almost
burning the house down.

Jep!

My gosh, it's smoke!

Fire.

Yup.

It's a grease fire.

Yeah.

Beignets and fryin',
that was hard to do.

I think I put in
better ideas than you.

Veggie chili?

That's a terrible idea.

That tasted like cardboard.

It helps your cholesterol.

That's different.

Seriously?

What about hiring Martin
and Godwin?

Mistake.

That was a mistake.

All right, I want one

Dad 'N' Em.

But the Mom 'N' Em's way better.

The customer is always right.

You can't argue
with the customer.

You need to pay for it.

That's not a cooked pie.

Y'all giving him
an uncooked pie.

Get a cooked pie.

It's got a "C" on it.

Y'all have failed
miserably so far, all right.

Epic fail.

It's been a long road, Jess.

Long...

Muddy road.

I will say that
I'm pretty impressed

with what it's become.

Whoop-whoop!

I gotta get in your kitchen.

Sweets "n Eats.

So what time?

What's the earliest time?

Really?

All right.

All right, love you.

Bye.

Well, I got good news.

We can use her kitchen.

Yes!

Good job, babe.

Bad news...

it's gonna be 8pm.

Well that means
we're gonna be cooking

all night.

I bet...

we can be done by like three.

That's not all night.

Woo-hoo!

I'm tired.

Let's do this.

I'm gonna let y'all do this.

Well yeah, you
stayed up till 'like 4 am

prepping everything.

I told you that was
gonna happen.

But we got it done.

Okay.

You get it?

Yeah.

That looks good.

Mom, can I sell
chocolate bars here?

No!

Absolutely not.

Scilla, that's tacky.

We're not doing that.

No.

You don't do that.

Put 'em up.

You ready to do this?

Let's do this.

We did it.

We got it done.

Ninety potpies.
Let's do this!

Today id the big party.

Come and get your potpies!

We're open.

This party is a big opportunity.

Because we gotta impress
Katie May-

Hello!

Hi.

I think I'll try the
Yer Mom 'N' Em.

One Yer Mom 'N' Em.

That way she can
help us on future events.

Plus, the people eating there,

they like our pies,
they go tell other people.

Networking.

Bam.

We want three.

Three.

Triplet!

Thank you.

There you go.

Thank you.

Yer Maw 'N' Law.

Yer Mom 'N' Em.

Yer Dad 'N' Em, please.

Woo!

Birthday girl wants
Yer Mom 'N' Em.

Look at this, baby.

They are chowing down.

They're loving it.

Good sign.

I don t' see
anybody throwing up,

that's good.

Well yeah.

Well hey, y'all!

My goodness.

It's great.

Everybody loves them.

Awesome.

So good!

Miss Sims had one, she loved it.

She 's so cute!

But I think they're
all finishing up

with the potpies,
are y'all ready for-

To bring out the desserts?

Yup.

Yeah.

All right.

Remember?

In the contract,
potpies, desserts?

Yeah, I remember that.

You're right.

We'll get right on it.

Okay.

Coming out shortly.

Okay.

I'll let 'em know.

Thank y'all.

Boy.

You didn't read the contract?

I skimmed the contract.

You skimmed the contract?

I didn t memorize it.

Jess, that thing is huge.

You didn't have to memorize it.

When someone places an order,

you can't just show
up with half of the food.

Baby, tt was a long contract.

This is a birthday party.

I mean...

Scilla's chocolate bars!

We'll just give
'em the chocolate bars.

You can't-

We're not gonna give them
chocolate bars.

That is-

We'll take the wrapper off

and say we made it.

No.

It has the name pressed
into the chocolate.

I mean, I have the ingredients,

so I could probably do
like some cookies, but-

We'll get the kids in here,

and we'll get them
to make cookies,

and it'll be cool.

I'll be a family cookie.

Yer Family 'N' Em.

Okay.

Let's do it.

Scilla!

Yeah.

Come here.

Hey, go get your chocolate bars,

you just sold them all.

Go get 'em.

Hurry up.

There you go.

It worked.

Hurry up.

As bif of a pyramid
scheme as these

chocolate bars are,

I'm kind of glad to
be a part of the pyramid,

'cause we need chocolate.

Yeah.

It's getting hot.

Woo!

It's heatin' up!

Watch out, pans atre hot.

Good job!

That's how you do it.

Dessert up.

You know what, dad,

you didn't even want
me selling the chocolate bars,

but you ended up
buying every single one.

Hey, do y'all want cookies?

Yeah.

Do y'all want any cookies?

Everybody won.

And I'm gonna win that iPad.

Hey!

What a huge success.

Yay!

We did it.
My God!

Everybody loved
the potpies and the dessert,

everything.

Awesome.

Y'all made Sim's birthday...

the best.

Aw, thank you so much.

We enjoyed it.

I think the party was awesome.

Katie May was happy.

Yup.

I mean, everything worked
out perfect.

So now that y'all
have done this big event,

I think y'all are
ready to get on the circuit

and we'll find some
good events for y'all

to get booked on.

Yes.

Thank you so much.

All right!

We're excited.

Thanks for having us out here.

Anytime.

Hey, speaking of that,

we're gonna be sit
out here by the fire

if y'all wanna come.

Sure.

After I get done cleaning up.

Yeah.
That sounds great.

Okay.
That sounds awesome.

Thanks again.

Boom.

I told you.

I knew it was
gonna be a success.

I was starting to
doubt my on the....

dessert.

It's okay.

I just wanted to have
my own thing.

I know.

Just wanted to do everything.

So I can say this is my thing.

This is still your thing.

Nobody does it all.

I mean, how many people
work for Willie?

How many people
work at the sweet shop?

You know?

I mean, we're in this
together, you know.

Well thank you for your help.

I love you.

We started with a-

Shell.

Shell of a truck.

And now we have
something that's-

Amazing.

Who knows what the future holds?

Franchise.

Well, we made a good team.

We did good.

Let's go down, hang out.

I need a break.

That was a long day.

Look at you!

I wish you would've wiped out.

We pulled it off in the end.

Jess, look.

I'm not gonna do the food truck

all by myself, okay.

Okay, good.

So I made out a little
list, a little help list.

A little list?

Yup.

You're gonna love it.

Fix leaky windows?

You heard.

Refill propane tank.

Keep going.

Weld?

I can't weld.

Keep going.

Learn how to weld?

Well, I put that
on there in case

you don't know how to weld.

I mean, come on,
it's common sense.

No talking back?

You're pushing it, buddy.

You heard it right here,
no talking back.

You see this list?

You know what I think about it?

Nuh.

I'm gonna make another one.

Number one rule,
no tearing up the list.

Peace out.
