You making cake?

Oh, that's right baby girl.

Can I help?

You wanna help?

I can lick the bowl.

Oh, that comes with a reward.

You got to put the work in
before you

get the reward.

What do you know about baking
cakes?

Well number one,

you got to start with the
freshest ingredients.

The freshest!

Do you know what ingredients
are?

Stuff that goes inside?

That's right.

You get out what you put in.

Now that's a life rule.

And number two,

you got to let the cake cool
before you frost it.

And last,

you got to have people around to
eat it!

Because cake makes people happy.

So one bowl, one mixer, and the
right company,

and baby girl, you're set for
life.

Add some apples.

That's my girl.

Now you give it a stir.

There you go! There you go.

That's my girl.

Oh, you make me so happy.

You make me so happy.

Dirt car.

Angela Logan?

Ms. Crawl.

Well, I see the second story
status hasn't changed.

Basement still uninhabitable?

As I explained, our contractor-

And no permits have been pulled.

Disappeared. I didn't know he
was supped

to pull permits.

Well, it's your home.

And by the looks of it
construction continues.

Trust me, there's nothing going
on here.

It's a safety hazard, your boys
could get hurt.

My boys are fifteen, seventeen,
and nineteen,

practically men.

Look, we're doing the best we
can.

You have fourteen days before I
start assessing fines.

And they're large fines Ms.
Logan.

I suggest you get yourself in
order.

Give up. You're never going to
make it.

Yoohoo!

Anybody home?

In here!

Hey.

Hey.

I didn't see your car out there.

Completely dead.

Why didn't you call me?

On what? I gave up my cellphone.

I'm so behind on my mortgage,

the last thing I need is a
cellphone.

Do you have any idea how much
three teenage

boys eat?

Here, have some.

Cake makes people happy.

Well then you should be eating
it.

Oh, I could live on that cake.

So good!

You know what you need around
here?

Some help.

I cannot afford a house keeper.

I meant a man.

I've got three men already, I
don't have

room for another one.

Those aren't men, those are
boys.

I mean a man who gives you stuff
instead of taking stuff.

Well, I've never had experience
with a man like that.

Check my caller ID, Bobby
called.

Not all men are like your ex,
baby.

How would you know that, you've
never

been on a date in what, four or
five years?

I've got William's and Nicolas'
school fundraiser tonight.

And then volunteering at the
charity,

and then helping out at church.

I'm just saying it's-

Someday it won't just be about
survival.

Someday I'll have a thing of my
own to be

proud of, saying something like
that?

Yeah.

Hey Gloria.

Hi babies.

Hey mama.

I'm starving. We got anything to
eat?

Oh my gosh, they keep getting
taller.

Yeah.

Look at their feet.

Hey, don't you look at my feet.

Excuse me, I've been looking at
your feet

since they were the size of my
thumb.

We got no secrets here kid.

Nicki's got one.

Don't you Nicki?

Uh oh, I'd better go.

I love you.

Love you.

Hey, be good.

He brought a knife to school.

Nicki!

William!

God. I didn't do nothing with
it.

You didn't do nothing with it.

Why would you do that? What were
you thinking?

Dad gave it to me.

What? he said he had one when

he was younger than me.

Said I should have gotten one

a long time ago.

I'm good with it.

And he told me the rules.

Oh! Except don't take it to
school.

Yeah, and now he's suspended for
a week.

Nicolas!

This is a very busy week for me.

I can't have you at home!

I know.

You've always got something else
to do.

Nicolas. Nicolas, come back
here!

Hey, don't look at me.

I did all I could do, I don't
carry no weapons.

Hey, is this apple cake I see?

It's for the school fundraiser,
leave it alone.

Come on baby, we got to talk
about this.

If you get suspended, I get to
talk.

Nicolas, open the door!

I'm going to the charity for a
meeting,

and when I get bad we're all
going to the fundraiser.

I don't think I can do this.

These are practical skills,
nothing you

can't learn.

I see you've already been
through the resume

writing class and basic computer
skills.

Except there's not much on my
resume.

This is about the future, not
the past.

Let's try some interviewing,
okay?

Tell me about yourself Leanne.

What's one thing you can say
about yourself

that's never changed no matter
how tough

things got.

I can work hard.

Good! Good! Say that!

Okay, now say it like I'm
someone who might hire

you for a job you want more than
anything else in

the world.

I can do anything ma'am. I just
need a chance.

That's it Leanne.

Start there.

How do you know this stuff?

Let's just say, I've had a lot
of jobs.

Nicolas!

Nicolas, come on!

Mom, where's the car?

There you are. You're late.

Late for what?

The fundraiser. Nicolas!

I don't even go to that school
anymore.

We show up as a family.

What happened to the car?

It broke.

Am I going to school next
semester?

Mom, you can't fix the car, you
can't fix the house.

You haven't been called a
substitute teacher in two

weeks.

Yes, you're going to school.

But my work study job won't
cover the costs.

We will do without the car if we
have to.

We will sleep in that car if we
have to.

Yeah, mom is going to go around
helping

all these other people before
she gets around to us.

Nick!

Okay.

I help people at the charity
because they deserve a

better life.

I bake cakes for your school so
you, and your friends,

and this community can have a
shot at doing

something with the one life
they've got.

Because you're lucky, Nicolas
Logan.

Yes!

Maybe today isn't a red letter
day.

But someone's always got it
worse than you.

If all you've got is a carrot in
your pot-

In the soup.

Yes, if all you have is an
onion, someone

else will have a potato, and
someone else

will bring a carrot, and in the
end, you all eat.

We stand up for each other.

Because there's something bigger
than you.

So yes, you two will stay in
school. Get scholarships!

And you will learn to appreciate
what you've got.

Now come on, we're walking.

So, this girl wants to study on
Sunday.

Bring her to church!

Mom, nobody brings their girl to
church

on a date.

You said study.

Oh, here's a napkin.

Isn't this incredible?

I was up all night so stressed,
you know?

Not knowing how these things
were going to turn out.

Oh! Is that your apple cake?

I knew we could always count on
you.

Oh, this whole display is just
fantastic.

Well, I heard you were
suspended.

I can leave at any time.

Oh! No no no no no.

No no no. It's fine!

We could always use some more,

um, card dealers!

Go find some brand new games.

No, I'm good.

Okay, well.

Suit yourself.

Angela, I'm going to need you to
push

those raffle tickets.

Our prizes this year are out of
this world.

Melvin! Oh, there you are!

Okay, you're on in three.

Okay.

Good

Thanks.

Angela?

Angela Logan?

Melvin George?

Angela Logan, you have not
changed

one bit.

Still using those same lines,
huh?

It depends.. Does it still work?

Hey, save me a piece.

I'd like to catch up.

Hm?

He has graced the stages from
New York

to Chicago, and we are so
thrilled to have

him back home in Teaneck, New
Jersey.

Please put your hands together
for

Melvin George!

Thank you, thank you. My name is
Melvin

George, and I know you can't
tell by looking

at me, but I am not cool.

Normally, I wear a tuxedo when I
perform,

but when I went to pick my tux
up from the

cleaners, they were closed, and
this was all

I could get out before the
alarms went off.

It's true, I am not cool.

I had to pay back my student
loan.

A conversation a few years ago
went like this.

Hello? Yeah, this is Melvin
George.

Department of Education?

Well how'd you find me?

Well, how come you can find me,
you can't

find Osama Bin Laden?

Well, I'll tell you what. You
find Osama Bin Laden,

and I'll pay back my student
loan.

I remember that guy. You dated
him years ago.

Next day I was like,

Department of Education?

I made some payment blame.

Thank you!

Thank you very much! My name is

Melvin George. Get out there,
spend some

money for Lincoln High and
education of

our young people.

Can you hand me that fork?

So, what'd you think?

You haven't changed a bit.

And these must be your boys.

Yes. This is Marcus, and
William, and Nicolas.

Boys, this is Melvin.

Pleasure to meet you all.

If you don't mind, I'll help you
clean up.

I'll stay with the boys, get
them home.

No, I should stay with Nicki.

No, it's okay. You deserve it.

So, did you only like me for my
cooking?

I like plenty of things about
you.

It's been ten years. what could
you

possibly remember about me?

Plenty.

Start yapping. Come on, catch me
up.

Well, not much has changed. I'm
still

scraping by just like everybody
else.

Maybe once my boys leave home I

can start spending more time on
me.

What would you do?

Try to find a way to make a
living

doing something I love. Give
back.

That's exactly why I got into
comedy.

[laughing]

Yeah.

It's always bad timing for us.

Yeah. Bad timing.

Let me take you out on a date.

Don't say no.

As a matter of fact, say yes
without

even thinking.

Melvin, we have been down this
read before.

Oh, let me get that for you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Got you.

You good?

Yeah.

Woo!

Thank you for driving me home.

It's my pleasure.

Shoot.

Oh.

It's okay, I got it.

I'm sorry, it's too soon.

It's too soon.

Angela.

So much for timing.

Hey mom.

Morning.

I saw the mail.

We're losing our house?

No.

And don't tell your brothers.

Hey mom.

So I have this presentation
later on this

week for my computer class.

Do you think you could help me
rehearse?

No.

Not right now honey, it's not a
good time.

Oh. Okay.

So, what didn't you want Marcus
to tell us?

Oh yeah. Let's not talk about
the house.

It's just, I thought

Things just got bad faster than
what I expected boys.

Yeah, we've been through tough
spots before.

Not like this time.

There's just not that many jobs
out there.

Well, can we sell it?

Not in this condition.

And not fast enough.

But I have a plan.

Want me to get you four thousand
dollars

in ten days?

That's what the letter said,
right?

Four thousand dollars in ten
days, or else?

Nicolas!

What?

Okay. Come help me make lunches.
Two

of you have to get to school
today.

Nicki, you're with me.

Angela, I'm so sorry. Your
volunteer work

has been invaluable.

I will take any kind of hours,
any work,

I just need a quick paycheque.

We don't have any jobs available
right now.

Check back in a month?

I'm sorry. Is there anything
else we can do?

You don't ever fix up volunteer
job opportunities?

As you know, our priorities are
women without homes.

Of course.

Thank you.

Okay.

Sit here.

Hi Leanne.

So, did you read the books I
gave you?

Yup.

Did they help?

Yeah, but I've also learned that
older

workers keep their jobs longer,
so there's

no turnover.

That was for house keeping job.

Fast food companies are
interviewing

people with college degrees.

I've been homeless, beat up, and
I've

got a four year old son.

Why would anybody hire me?

You have to have faith.

You never know what's going to

turn up.

Didn't I send you away?

Uh no, you said good night.

You mentioned something about
bad timing

and that we laughed a lot, but
'go away' was

not apart of that.

It's been a long day.

Melvin-

What if you said, 'You've driven
all this way.

Why don't you come inside, I'll
make you some

hot cocoa and we could talk
about it?'

I'm dead broke. I'm losing my
house. My son

got suspended for bringing a
knife to school and

I have no idea what I'm going to
feed my kids for dinner.

So whatever you've got-

What if I got you dinner?

Huh?

I know a great new joint that
just opened up

down the street I'll get some
take-out.

Come on.

Okay.

That's more like it.

I'll be right back.

No, I'm telling you, I am not
cool.

I got my first computer. Still,
I bought

it in 1985 for four thousand
dollars.

I ain't upgrading.

It's a compact 186.

Got a speed of twelve.

When I'm on the information
superhighway, I got to

go all the way to the right.

When you get on the internet I'm
the dude going,

'Go around! Go around!"

I'm not cool.

Too bad you can't sell it for
four thousand

dollars now. that's exactly what
we need,

right?

You know what I like about
computers?

You only get out what you put
in.

They're kind of like people.

You wanna slice the corn bread
for us?

So, two years ago, flood wasted
the basement,

and two months after that, a
storm took the roof.

So, in an effort to fix both, I
hired a corrupt contractor

who left me broke, and with a
house like this,

and with a city inspector on my
back.

Meanwhile, taxes went up,
mortgage went up,

utilities went up.

jobs went away.

Mom's good at jobs.

Yeah, she has a new one every
few months.

Well, that just means you're
interprizing.

You're the victim of that-

Oh, oh no. I don't play that.

I hired the contractor, I took
out the second

mortgage, it's my fault.

Yeah, but it's not your fault
that the economy tangged,

and banks went in the run and
you can't get a leg up.

If you keep getting job after
job, you're doing

everything you can.

Shouldn't there be enough to go
around?

Time is working against me.

Amount is getting higher, and
right now

all the talent I have is for
baking that cake.

Too bad I can't bake my way out
of this.

That's not a bad idea.

I mean, yeah mom. Everybody
loves your

apple cake.

Wait wait wait. Nobody in this
house ever says

my ideas are good.

Well, this one is!

Save the house with a bake-sale.

It's four thousand dollars!

thats-

one hundred cakes in ten days.

Forty dollars a cake?

Who's gonna pay forty dollars
for a cake?

Yeah, but if we tell them we're
in trouble-

No.

It is not charity. They're
giving you money

for something, not nothing.

Yeah, I mean it's like stone
soup.

We got the carrots, they got the
money.

And we can stay in the house.

Isn't that what we want?

We can ask at church, school?

I got a few thousand fans, some

website we can reach out to.

Absolutely not. no. No no no no
no.

Hey! If you gotta ask, you gotta
ask everybody.

Right?

You are stubborn.

That's how I managed to stay
afloat all these years.

What my grandmother said, the
one that owned this

house first, is you either
stand, or you fall.

It's a life lesson.

Some people choose to lean.

Melvin, I have 'till next
thursday to save my house.

I cannot do this too.

Thanks for dinner. It was nice.

It was nice.

You got good kids.

I think you're making a mistake.

About the apple cake?

That's ridiculous.

No, about sending that guy away.

Where are you going?

Out.

Bring the girl to church on
Sunday.

Mom.

You heard me.

Fine. Do you want anything
before I go?

Um Four thousand dollars.

I'll work on it.

Computer geek! Got an e-mail to
write.

Dear Friends, I never imagined
I'd be writing this e-mail...

But my home, which was my
mother's and grandmother's,

is facing foreclosure.

In an effort to save it, I'm
having a bake sale.

My moist, delicious apple cake
which was my grandmother's
recipe,

and now has lots of fresh
apples, organic wholegrain
flour,

and buttercream frosting.

I'm selling it for forty dollars
a cake.

Now, I know forty dollars is a
lot for everyone right now,

But if I can bake and sell ten
cakes a day for the next ten
days,

I can pull my home out of
foreclosure.

I'm calling it, my Apple
Mortgage cake.

Great. I will put it right here
so people

can see it when they come in.

Thank you so much Sheila.

Are we done now?

You know this would go a lot
faster if

you would stop whining.

Next stop your school, and then
the grocery store.

Well, I can't go to the school
because I'm suspended.

Remember?

You know, I am tired of your
attitude.

If this is what's happening,
you're doing this.

You got us into this trouble.
You do it.

You know what? Go home.

You want me to go home?

Yes. Your brothers will be home
in an hour.

You got what you wanted, now
leave me alone.

You're so ungrateful, I've had
it.

He hates me.

Angela, he doesn't hate you.

I'm the worst parent ever.

I should have dealt with this
better,

I mean, I'm the grown up.

Okay, you were standing up for
yourself.

You are allowed to have a bad
day.

Especially this bad day.

I'd say this is the worst day
ever, but that

one's still coming.

[phone ringing]

Hey, It's your house.

William? What's wrong?

Are you kidding?

What?

Okay, alright.

The flyers worked! William's
getting e-mail

orders!

We're up to twenty one!

Orders?

Yes!

We have twenty one orders?

Yes!

Aha! But it hasn't even been

It hasn't even been twenty four
hours.

Oh my god. This could work.

You said it.

You said that this could work.

I was lying Angela.

I was totally lying!

[laughter]

I need more groceries!

Please take me to the grocery
store?

Okay.

Move over! Woman saving her
house.

Move over.

I can't believe-

Talk to me, okay?

Okay.

Let's get started. How do I
help?

You know what? I'm good.

You're going to bake twenty one
cakes

by yourself?

Okay. Don't take this the wrong
way, but

you're the worst cook I've ever
met.

Unbelievable. You know who's
ungrateful?

You.

[voicemail] Hey, It's Melvin.

Who's Melvin? He has a nice
voice.

What was the final decision on
the apples cakes?

I'm ready to help any time.

You've got my number

Call if you need me.

Well when are we inviting Melvin
over?

You know what? You can go home
any time.

Haha, pretty cool, huh?

We got like twenty one orders
already.

I know!

Okay honey. Can you go out to
Gloria's car

and get the rest of the
groceries for me please?

Sure.

Okay.

You sure you can't let me help
you?

Seriously, I'm good.

Alright.

Thank you.

Wait up!

Nicolas?

William. Have you seen Nicolas?

Uh, he's probably at dad's.

Hello, Bobby.

Is Nicolas there?

Yeah, well nice of you to let me
know.

Never mind that, just bring him
home.

You know what? That's none of
your business.

I'll expect to see him by six
thirty.

Sorry. Where's Nick?

Baking cake?

For my presentation this week in
class,

Mhm?

I'm thinking of starting with a
joke.

Okay.

Programming today is a race
between-

engineers trying to build bigger
and better

[doorbell rings]

input programs, and the universe
trying to

produce. bigger and better
idiots.

Looks like the universe is
winning...

No no no. Don't.

Dinner's ready.

In the kitchen.

Thanks dad.

Anytime pal.

What, no thanks?

Seriously?

He says you told him to get
lost.

It's none of your business.

It is my business, If you can't
provide for them.

If you're so stressed out that
you turn my son loose on the
streets.

It's not-

The reason he was with me today
is because you gave him a knife.

I taught him responsibility with
it.

Well, he took the knife to
school and got suspended!

You could've told me what was
going on.

Maybe I could've helped.

Why didn't you call me sooner?

I don't know. Maybe chasing
after you for six years

for child support made me less
interested in reaching

out for your help.

Should I go on?

Why you got to be like that,
huh?

I got a job to turn things
around.

Thanks for bringing him home.

Where's Nicolas?

Turn it off! Turn it off!

Now.

No more locked doors, no more
walking away.

We have a problem, we talk. Even
if we're pissed.

Because we're all pissed and
probably scared to

death right now.

But all we have is each other.

We clear?

Look, I'm sorry I got us into
this.

I'm doing everything I can to
get us out.

I'm trying really, really hard.

[clapping]

I'm Melvin George from Boston,
Massachusetts,

and I am not cool.

I used to think that the
National Guard was one guy.

When the president said he was
going to send the

National Guard to watch the
border, I wondered,

how is this guy going to drive
six thousand miles?

[clapping and laughter from
audience]

Thank you. Thank you thank you.

Hi. Thank you!

I can't wait to share it with
the staff!

Oh, thank you Sheila!

You've been great bringing cakes
down here for years,

it's about time we gave back.

Mr. Leevie already put in his
order for five.

We will do whatever we can.

Well, I am up to thirty eight so
far.

We'll keep pulling for you.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Can I. Can I talk to you?

I'd like that.

We should really-

Dad said that if you lose the
house,

he wants me to move in with him.

You don't want to live at home
anymore?

Even if I make tho work?

You don't think I'm going to
make it work.

Mom, I didn't-

We'll talk about it if that
happens.

Right now I have to bake more
cakes.

Actually, you don't.

We're out of orders.

There's nothing in the e-mail,
no more

messages on the answering
machine.

I even double checked on the
charity's computers.

Look mom, I'm sorry.

I think we're all tapped up.

Hey mom.

I didn't see you this morning.

Everything okay?

I hope she deserves you.

She's nice. I think you'll like
her.

Everything okay?

I think

It's over.

We've reached everyone we can.

What will happen now?

Um, well, we've made one
thousand,

five hundred and twenty dollars,
which

is amazing.

But there's only six days left,

and twenty five hundred dollars
to go.

Don't tell your brothers.

Or your dad.

[doorbell rings]

You said two weeks.

I'm just checking on your
progress.

After two weeks, the bank will
own the house.

You can take it up with them.

I understand that this is
difficult-

You know, I don't think you do.

I'm taking the full two weeks.

Now leave me alone!

That's telling her.

I just yelled at a city worker
who just asking

me for money I legitimately owe.

So, even if I could pay it,
which I can't, I

don't have a sense of humour
about any of

this right now.

Okay! Okay!

I was just trying to cheer you
up.

And we're out of milk!

My mom always said that candy
tastes

better when you're mad.

I heard things slowed down. I
came by to see

if I could help.

Hey, It's cold, why don't you
get inside?

The car is warm.

Take the offer.

I can put a message on my
webpage.

I have hundreds of fans.

Eighteen hundred people on my
social

media page, Angela.

What's the resistance here?

My house is falling apart.

This was my grandmother's house,

and she willed it to my mother
when she died.

Because she believed, a women
should

have to be dependant on anybody
to have a

roof over her head.

My mother kept it free any clear
until I moved in

with my boys on the hill of my
divorce, and then

she got sick.

So we took out a mortgage for
her hospital bills,

and we took out a second for her
funeral.

I didn't sign up for a mortgage
I couldn't afford.

It didn't get it in over my
head.

I had a paid-off house and my
mother got sick.

Three generations of women,

and I'm going to be the one who
loses the house.

You don't want any part in this.

I got this bit that i did with
champagne.

Are you insane?

I was saving it for something
special.

How is this any way that?

Well, today is an extraordinary
day.

Things can't get any worse than
this.

Oh Melvin, things can always get
worse.

When it rains, it rains inside
my house.

What about when it hails?

You'll use it as ice!

Come on!

Toast with me.

Ah! Hahaha.

Okay, okay. What are we
toasting?

Everything going up from here.

Okay.

Mm!

Everything always crashes around
me.

It starts out good, like my
house, my marriage,

but it never ends well.

So that's it?

Never try again?

Shop's closed?

A real relationship doesn't have
a chance

because maybe it will go badly
up.

There's a lot of people having
hard times

lately.

Just give me 'till my ten days
are up.

Why?

I mean, what's going to be
different?

Not me, not how I feel.

And not how you feel.

or it will never be a good time
for you

actually.

Angela!

Well! What's going on here?

What's going on?

I need you to come with me,

I think I may have found your
saviour.

Well, when your saviour comes,
you go.

Thanks.

Mhm.

Bye!

See you later.

So, his name is Herman, and you
met him

at the laundrimat?

Even headshot reporters need
clean clothes.

'Kay, here he comes, behave.

Hi! Thank you so much for
meeting with us.

Angela, meet Herman. Herman, the
amazing

Angela.

Look, he liked your story so
much he's going

to write about it in the record.

What do you say?

So, you're a reporter?

Well, actually I work at the
obituaries.

Angela!

No, it's perfect!

You brought me to meet the
Obituary writer

you found at the laundromat.

Well, I'm a real writer Ms.
Logan.

It's just the best job I could
get on journalism school.

It happens.

Hey, you know about taking
sub-part time jobs,

right Ange?

I think the record will print
your story.

It's a real human interest.

It might get into Sunday's
paper.

Oh, see?

So shut up! And be an optimist,

because optimists live longer.

Isn't that right?

Yeah.

Follow me.

That was amazing!

Right?

Mark my words. You are going to

be famous!

You're going o be the woman who
saved

her house with cake.

No, I'm going to be the woman
that might

might end up in the Sunday
edition of

a local minimart paper that
people pick up

for the coupons.

Or, you could be happy.
Everything could work out.

Did you ever think of that?

Laundromat, huh?

Don't you have a washing machine
at home?

Haha! Maybe there's no single
man at home.

Glad you could make it Paul.
Good to see you

again.

Lovely to see you too.

So a starter. We like that!

There wasn't much support from
my family

growing up, so I had to create
it.

She's an entrepreneur just like
you mom.

Oh, well I'm no entrepreneur.
Mine's just

plain old desperation.

Mine too. And you're a great
example for

what it is to fight.

I wish I had that growing up.

She's a keeper.

Angela!

How lovely to see you.

Thank you, Pastor.

The Sermon was wonderful.

Thank you.

How goes the house?

I could have mentioned it in the
announcements.

Next Sunday, okay?

Thank you.

Have you met Marcus' friend,
Cicely?

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Mom, but Sunday it'll be too
late.

I picked up a paper.

That was a waste of a buck
fifty.

Oh no, really?

It's fine, no. I figured.

I even looked for my name in the
obituaries,

It wasn't there either.

So, there's that.

Thank you for trying.

Hey, don't give up.

That was my last hope, and a
long shot at that.

Now I've got five days left, and
a little over

fifteen dollars.

Now I've got to make a safety
deposit in first

month's rent somewhere.

Bobby called.

He heard about the cake sales
from a few old

friends. Guess what he wanted?

Money.

He's got a great new business
venture.

All he needs is ten thousand
bucks,

because even if I had the money,

I wouldn't use it to save the
house,

put the kids through college, or
pay some bills,

or get a car.

Give my boys the cushion they
deserve.

No! I would throw it down the
money pit

called Bobby Logan and hope for
the best.

I don't deserve you.

Bye bye.

[phone ringing]

Apple Mortgage Cake.

Yeah, wrong number.

Mom, what will happen if we lose
our house? Where will we live?

I'm not sure honey. We'll figure
something out.

But let me ask you,

How come you never asked to live
with your dad?

Have you ever thought about it?

I don't know.

I guess I just felt safer here.

I'm going to go finish my
homework.

Hey Nicolas, how you doing?

Alright.

Uh, she's inside. I'll go get
her.

No no no. Don't bother.

I just wanted to return this.

Needed a bit of help, but I
think it's

got a chance now.

Well, you don't want her to know
that you brought it?

No, I don't want her to uh,
leave a hole in.

You got kids?

You know, I was never that
lucky.

Always wanted them, though.

Hey, that's something.

You're creative.

Now, people don't know the half
of what's inside you, do they?

Do Do you want to sit down?

Let me tell you, When I found
this thing,

I didn't think it was going to
make it.

But with a little bit of love, a
little bit of water,

anything can grow.

Check this out! Mom's in the
papers!

What're you guys doing?

Mom, you're in the paper!

A whole story!

Seriously?

That's when I took on second
jobs, third jobs,

even took in borders.

You remember that crazy lady?

Her kids mow lawns, shovel snow,
and grant errands.

Man, so many errands.

This is unbelievable!

Okay okay boys. Start getting
ready for school. I

don't want you to be late.
Especially you, Nicolas.

[phone ringing]

Mom's in the paper!

Hello?

This is?

How'd you get my number?

Um, sure. That would be

So, you'll call me?

Okay, i'll wait to hear from
you.

A news network is going to call
at eight thirty

and put me on their satellite.

Are you kidding?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

This is?

You do?

Uh The Midday News?

The Midday News? That's huge
man!

Oh, no. I don't have a car.

You're sending one?

Okay. I'll see you at nine
thirty.

Mom

[phone ringing]

Wait, mom!

Angela Logan.

Channel 11?

Uh, well, I guess I could.

But I have to do the eleven
thirty.

Okay.

Um. The five and six.

Okay!

I'll be here!

Gloria.

That's why everyone's calling!

Mom, look.

twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
orders!

[phone ringing]

Apple Mortgage Cakes.

Do we do bog orders?

Angela!

Angela! Come here!

Uh, yeah! We do do bog orders.

Gloria, what's going on? The
news networks are

calling like crazy!

Well, you need to get yourself
cleaned up.

Because your limo has arrived.

Oh my god!

Okay, well let's get ready!

Come on!

Someone will be here in a sec.
Just, uh, relax.

This morning we're excited to
welcome a very

special guest.

Angela Logan had been faced with
an impending

foreclosure on her family home,
but instead,

she fought back by baking her
apple cake,

which we have here, and selling
it around town.

Thank you for benign here.

Thank you for having me.

Now, just to set the record
straight, you have

four more days until the bank
officially takes

ownership of your home?

That's right.

You must have been panicked when
you got

the foreclosure notice.

Yes, but we've been through hard
times before,

so I thought we'd get through it
just like we always have.

Where did the cake idea come
from?

Desperation.

Now, in the middle of all of
this, you have three teenage
boys.

How are they handling it?

I have the most incredible young
men. I don't know what I'd

do without them. I'm so lucky.

Not a lot of women in your
situation would call themselves
lucky.

Well, I'm not the only one in my
situation.

At the charity I volunteer at,
there's lots of women

who have needs. It's like this
all over New Jersey.

All over the country.

Wait, through all of this,
you've been volunteering

at a charity?

Mhm. Mostly helping women
getting back on their feet

and apply for jobs.

Other people's needs don't stop
when you're in

trouble, right?

I made a commitment, and I'm
sticking to it.

Amazing.

Well, I know a lot of other
outlets want to feature you

today. How would you describe
what's happening right now?

I'd say it's a miracle.

Fifty seven orders?

And still coming in.

We directed them to your e-mail.

And, your son, William, called.

What did he say?

Tell my mother over two hundred
phone and e-mail

orders have come in.

Two hundred?

Two hundred orders!

How am I going to make two
hundred cakes?

I have an appointment at the
charity!

Charity- Wait You were serious
about that?

Yes, a woman I'm helping, she's
got a big job

interview and I told her I'd
come!

Okay, tell you what.

The 11 News wants you for a
segment tonight.

Let us send you home and bring
you back later.

I don't know how to tell you
this Angela, but

your life is about to change.

Follow me.

Okay. Hello.

Look, I'm not special. Really,
I'm just like any other

person struggling to make it
work right now.

Four thousand dollars may not
seem like a lot of money

to some people, but when you run
other jobs, and you

don't have family to borrow
money from, you max out in

the equity I have.

There's organizations out there
to help the homeless,

but hardly any to help people
about to lose their homes.

Can you write about that?

Everybody I know, they'd rather
work for it.

And sometimes, we just need a
chance.

Thanks for putting the word out.

That's it, just Thank you.

Boys.

Three hundred and thirty two?

Three hundred and thirty four
now

It was 254 when i left the
stutio

How many pounds of flour and
apples-

Mom don't worry about it. I can
help you.

How do I haul supplies for 334
cakes when I don't even have a
car?

How do I pay for the supplies,
when I don't have a car

and I don't get paid until I
deliver 334 cakes.

342.

Stop! Stop! Ugh.

People are ordering out of
sympathy, right?

I was watching the news and I
saw this woman I felt sorry for,

so I said yeah, I'll spend $40,
but I didn't mean it for a cake!

Who spends $40 for a cake!

You know that's what's going to
happen right?

What if the cakes were already
paid for?

What are you doing here?

I called him

We need the help mom

Yeah. Melvin knows what to do,
and we don't.

We can even help sell things on
the website, right Melvin?

Yeah. we could set up call
waiting and voice mail on your
regular phone.

Yeah because you don't have a
cell phone.

We can even help her set up an
online account.

Tell her Melvin!

Yeah, people can deposit money
into an internet account
connected to your bank

so that when you go shopping,
there's money in the bank.

Stone soup.

Yeah and Melvin's a potato.

Hey, I'm a potato.

Wait, hold on. That's so not
cool right?

Right.

Listen, all you have to do is
deliver.

What?

Deliver. The cakes. The new
ones.

Where are they from?

Alabama, New Mexico, Origin all
over the country

So far all the orders have come
in from a 10 mile radius

where we could drop them off or
they could come pick them up

You even got one from Canada!

International too?

How do you ship something
internatioanlly?

How do you keep a cake fresh?

How do you keep it from getting
smashed?

How much do you charge for
international shipping?

This was just supposed to be a
way to save the house-

Which it's doing.

I'm going to wind up in jail.

Come on. For what?

Fraud.

Promising something I can't
deliver.

See. This is what always
happens.

First the amazing, and then the
roof caves in.

I told you, this is what always
happens.

Angela.

Why are you here?

Because you need it.

Because.

You need it.

I sent you away.

I know.

But I am just a stubborn as you
are.

And you need help.

Or would you rather figure it
all out by yourself?

The media. The logistics. The
shipping. Packing.

Filling old orders, new orders,
shopping for supplies

Or- would you rather make
amazing cakes?

And let everyone else figure out
how to sell the around the
world?

While you save your house.

Wasn't it about that?

v

You're a jerk.

Yes I am.

And you need me.

Come on, say it.

Say it!

I need you.

Yes!

Yes you do.

Today.

Okay.

Today I'm necessary

So in that case, do you mind
going to the store?

Because I have-

392.

392 cakes to bake.

Okay.

While you're out, do you mind
picking up a mixer?

And a bowl or two?

Yes ma'am.

Put those ones together, we can
send them at the same time

That's money.

We just got 20

We've got to change 212 to 220.

How are you doing mom?

Nice

All good?

307

What do you think it would taste
like is he added raisens?

What? I'm just being creative.

Okay.

Something smells good!

Fortunately for you, I have my
PhD in box making.

Are you seriously doing okay
over there?

I'll figure it out.

Hello?

Hey

Hi! Melvin!

I'm Gloria Grant

Melvin George

Officially.

Wait Melvin George.

You're that comedian

What comedian?

You know. The one that you used
to talk a lot about like 10
years ago

You know what Gloria you can go
home

Okay.

Thank you so much

Nice to meet you.

It was nice to meet you too.

Thank you so much for brining
all the supplies

That is a man. You liked him.

Nice to see you, goodbye now.

It's not like that.

You like me.

I talked about you a hundred
years ago

Say it.

I liked you, okay?

Oh this is torture for you isn't
it?

Not really.

Hmm.

How should we celebrate?

Do you know where city hall is?

Why?

You ready to get married?

No!

No I need you to take me down
there,

I need to pay my permits today.

[Knock at door]

Mrs. Crole

Mrs. Logan.

We're getting the permits filed
today, so,

we're good.

Actually I'm here on a different
matter.

I brought you an order to cease
and desist.

You have to stop all baking in
this home.

Or I can shut your operation
down, effective immediately

Are you kidding?

You're baking cakes out of your
home.

Cakes that you're selling to
other people.

She's doing it to save her
house.

From people like you.

If you're baking cakes out of
your home,

that's a health code violation

If you're selling cakes out of
your home, that's a zoning
violation.

Failure to comply with the order
can result in arrest, criminal
prosecution, and fines.

And permanently shutting down
your opperation.

This is a nice home.

What is wrong with you?

This woman pulled off a half
miracle,

why are you doing this?

Okay look. The city doesn't know
how you keep the kitchen clean

which means you could poison
someone.

Not intentionally, probably.

Find yourself a seperate
kitchen.

Get a license and food handler
training,

or they'll have to come and shut
you down.

Good luck with your cakes.

It really smells good in there.

I have to go!

Where are you going?

You've got 500 cakes to bake!

Oh Angela we heard the news!

You must be over the moon.

What are you doing here?

Oh I have an appointment with
Lianne

Your interview is this
afternoon, your second
interview-

It's a big deal right?

But you're famous.

Don't you have to bake something
or be on TV?

I'm sick of hearing about me.

I said I would be here to do
this with you,

so let's do it.

Tell me about this gap in your
work history here.

It was a very hard time in my
life

But I got out.

And I left behind the people
that hurt me or held me back.

I'm trained now, and I'm ready
to work.

I will work so hard you won't
believe it.

Everything about my life is
different now.

And it's going to stay that way.

You're hired.

I've never felt confident about
anything before

Not until you.

How can I thank you?

Hm. Get the job.

And maybe don't hug your
interviewer in the end

Excuse me Angela, so sorry to
bother you,

you have a phone call.

Hello?

Come use our industrial sized
kitchen that can handle up to 20
cakes at a time

What?

Angela, the Hilton hotel is on
borad!

Now the kitchen is approximately
1250 square feet,

and includes a dry storage area.

Now this is you're equipment.

You've got 6 burner stoves here,

You've got convection ovens
here,

you've got a bit walk in fridge.

Three walk in freezers,

Dry storage racks

Over here you've got the
stainless steel countertop,

great for working on, and
keeping it very clean that's no
problem.

That's a Ruxon mixer, with all
the attachments.

Now. We'll provide all the
utensils you need,

and over here we've got some
airing racks,

so when your cakes come out of
the oven you can put 'em on
there for cooling down

That's where you put your cakes
when they come out of the oven.

We've also cleared some shelf
space, so you can place all your
cakes here

until they're ready to be
shipped out.

Always remember to cool before
frosting.

That's right.

Now, is there anything else you
need before you get started?

Smelling salts?

What you need are more supplies.

Oh there's one more thing.

Welcome Chef.

Time to cook!

With just days to save her
house,

Angela Logan cooked up a new
recipe for success.

A new bake sale in Jersey.

Cut it out, both of you.

A woman with a new perscription.

An apple a day, keeps the banker
away.

Of you guys, It's past 10
o'clock, I've gotta buzz.

I'm gonna take you home.

It's okay. I'll stay here and
finish this.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You two.

Behave.

By mom.

By honey. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

When's the last time you took a
break?

So, does this feel like home?

You live in a hotel, right?

That's the road. Home cooking is
always better.

Look I'm not good with thank
you's.

Please, you can barely ask for
thanks.

You've been shopping, and
helping with the kids.

Arranging local deliveries,
telling jokes.

Those bad jokes!

Oh I never said bad.

At first I thought you might be
in it for the money.

Yeah because when we ran into
eachother last week,

you were rolling in it.

But then I realized you're just
a very kind man.

I'm - I don't know how to-

Shhh.

Don't ruin it.

You don't know what I was going
to say.

Oh some song about how
everything goes bad right after
it goes good

Sing a new one.

Well. That is what happens to
me.

Your house is going to be paid
for.

The boys can stay in school.

That think you said about doing
something that you love,

and being able to give back.

This could be it.

What's the bad part?

I guess I just don't know how to
trust it.

I was married.

From about a year after we dated
till about 4 years ago.

To a woman who didn't believe in
me.

Even as I was making a career as
a comedian, and supporting us.

But she couldn't find it in
herself to be believe it could
last.

I could never go through that
again.

Melvin.

Because I see so much better in
you.

This has only been-

a week.

I know.

But this isn't our first time at
this rodeo.

I want to be here next week. And
the week after that.

And the week after that,

and I think you do too.

So what if you believed you
deserve everything that's been
happening to you,

and could keep it.

What if you celebrated it,

instead of being afraid of it

Because if you give doubt and
fear that much power

they are so hungry they'll eat
you alive.

Let's go somewhere?

We're in a hotel, let's get a
room.

I can't.

I've got a credit card.

I can't.

No I understand.

You can just, um

You could sleep, or we could
just hold eachother,

or just be somewhere private.

You know we haven't had any
privacy, just you an me.

I've got 800 cakes to bake.

That's just and excuse.

I can't.

Can't today, or just can't?

Angela?

Melvin you are the most amazing
man I have ever met.

I've never-

Dan?

You can't do it can you?

You can't get over?

You have faith in everybody but
yourself.

You always will.

And that's too bad, because you
are so worth believing in.

And you are.

Melvin-

Good luck Angela

The refrigerator if full, these
boxes won't fit.

Are you sure they won't fit?

Mom, we've been cooking all
night, that's over 500 cakes.

There's no more room in the
fridge.

If we don't get these out by
tomorrow they'll spoil.

That's thousands of dollars.

v

I don't know wat to do.

You'll figure it out. You always
do.

How? I have talked to dozens of
shippers and accountants and

lawyers and financial people
tell me I need a copyright, to
be incorporated

and documented and insurance,
but they can't insure me,

but hey call this person or call
that person, and worse,

now that everone's seen me on
TV-

they think you're rich.

Everybody want's a piece of me.

I need someone who's been
through this before.

Mom that's Melvin.

Honey it is 2:30 in the morning,
you need to get some rest

You've got school in the
morning.

Can I just ice these cakes?

I've got it.

Please, mom?

I've got it. Thank you.

Okay.

Goodnight sweetheart

Goodnight mom

Thank you

I'm greatful. I am. But I've got
to get these out.

Please don't strand me now.

Take me all the way.

I can't do it by myself

Take me all the way

I need help

I do.

I need help

Help me

Please help me

There's your mom.

Mom!

Mom wake up.

William

Yeah. It's stone soup.

Stone soup. C'mon I'll show you.

This is for the Jhonson car,
they're going to Philly,

And next are the Larkins going
to Rochester.

Hey! Angela!

We dcided to help you anyway

Instead of waiting for you to
ask,

because that'll happen never.

I've been looking for you.

I can't believe this-

We have a phone call to make

Follow me

What are you talking about?

Okay, there are Broklyn right?

I got the job!

Guess who hired me?

Bake me a Wish.

Bake me a Wish? What's Bake me a
Wish?

They distribute cakes all over
the world.

Angela, you don't have to worry
about national shipping anymore.

What are you talking about?

When they asked me the "Who do
you look up to?" question,

I told them you. Because you're
baking a million cakes to save
your house.

And you still came to the
charity to help me.

Because you're the kind of
person and employee I wanted to
be.

And now they want to talk to you
about distributing your cake.

What's going on?

You're not going to believe
this.

Yes, hi. This is Leanna Dops

May I speak with Mr. K.?

Yes, he's waiting for my call.

It's Mr. K., The CEO

Hello?

Mrs. Logan!

It's Josh K.

Leanne Dobs told us all about
you.

And of course I didn't have to
look very far to see your story
on the news.

If you're interested, I would
love to propose a collaboration.

A collaboration?

Yes, you see. Bake me a Wish
ships cakes globally,

so we can absorb all the cake's
that you've made,

and ship them out to the people
who have already paid for them

Put it on speaker phone

Then if you're willing to share
your recipe with us,

we could bake it in our
kitchens, let you taste test
them,

And then get out the rest of the
orders that are coming in.

Our publicity department could
take over the calls that are
coming in

and they could put you in the
media for at least 10 more days.

We could do the legal on the
business,

the liability insurance,

and of course if you want a
lawyer, then you should have
one.

we could start baking in our
facilities by beginning of next
week.

How?

We also have another idea, Mrs.
Logan,

We woud actually like to do 5
cakes, all from you.

In addition to your Apple
Mortgage Cake,

we'd like to do a Christmas
cake, a New Years cake,

a Valentines day cake, and a
Mother's day cake.

Also cooking segments and
speaking engagements,

so you can talk about being an
entrepreneur,

and your stone soup model.

Why?

Because you are a visionary,
Mrs. Logan.

This is the right time and the
right place for exactly this.

A visionary?

Me?

Because of a cake?

No, because of you Angela.

Yeah why do you think they keep
putting you on the news mom?

Everybody loves you mom.

People are dying for a story
like yours.

The woman who wouldn't give up,

who found a way to keep her home
in spite of everything.

I'm sorry!

This is so embarassing.

It's just when you're dealing
with so much,

life and a house and three boys,
you never imagine

You never imagine.

You have no idea what your
actions cause in others.

Because you helped me and you
didn't give up

This happened.

Bake me a Wish will work with
our community outreach arm,

to partner up with an
organization that will do the
kinds of things

that you've been talking about.

Keeping people in their homes.

We can offer 5% of the profits
from every cake sold,

so that other people can get the
help that they need.

Angela, what do you say?

Yes.

YES!

Great, good. We're very excited
to be in business with you.

Congratulations Angela, we'll be
back in touch very soon.

Thank you!

Mom it worked!

Oh and I changed my mind, I want
to stay at home.

Okay.

Is everything going to be ok?

I guess I'll have ot believe it
will.

Who would have guessed so much
could happen on a Thursday
morning?

It's Thursday!

I have to go-

can I get a ride home?

Can somebody give me a ride? I
need my cheque book!

Mom - this is amazing.

Let me take a photo?

Okay

Alright

Say cheese!

Cheese!

Let me take that.

Put this in the envelope.

I didn't think you would come.

You've got something to say

Well there's this plant, you
believed in.

Same one I thought would die,
just like all my other plants.

But I kept buying plants,

so I must have hoped something
would grow.

Right?

I don't know what that means.

It means I'm sorry.

It means I was an idiot.

And I pushed you away,

when I should have believed the
things you told me were true.

Wihtout your help, I don't know
where we would have been these
last 10 days.

The things inside you you're
amazing.

You just don't know.

When the walls keep crashing in
on you,

and everything always falls
apart,

It's hard to trust that anything
or anyone good will stay.

I don't want to do everything by
myself anymore

I'm asking -

Will you give me a second
chance?

Will you stay by my side?

Maybe you do the baking and I'll
do the gardening?

How are you at mailing letters?

Well I'm a potato, right?

Oh yes, way cooler than the
onion.

I think she'll make it.

She's going to be ok.

I think so.
