Danielle, your résumé is very impressive.

But we're not just looking for a new baker,

we're-we're looking for a new member of the family.

Oh, not me, I got too much family.

I need muffins.

(Kat chuckles)

See, Randi's the sassy younger sister

and I'm the cool older sister where you're like,

"She's valedictorian and makes her own blue jeans? What?"

(laughs) So, would you be able to work an early morning shift?

And more importantly, if you were a bird,

what kind of bird would you be?

Oh, what does that have to do with this job?

Well, I'm just trying to learn more about her.

We don't want to spend day after day

with someone who's so annoying.

Yeah, I wonder what that would be like.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the bird question.

Ha. Looks like we got ourselves a dodo.

So, Gideon,

it says here you come from

the second-largest Amish community in Kentucky.

It would have been the largest if we believed in vaccines.

It also says here

that the only other job you've ever had is

"doing the Lord's work"?

Oh, it's 24-7, but I've got the best boss ever.

So, what brings you to Louisville?

Well, I've lived in one place my entire life and...

I'm not sure I belong there.

The menfolk laugh at me, the womenfolk ignore me.

I mean, I'm 40, I should be a grandpa by now.

Well, I get the "feeling like you don't belong" thing.

When I was in high school,

I tried to start a clique for people who weren't in cliques.

Got squeezed out.

Stupid Ashley and her eye patch.

I swear it changed sides.

Okay, well, thank you for coming in.

Wait, no, hang on, hang on.

If you were a bird...

what kind of bird would you be?

I was thinking about that this morning.

I would be the bluebird of happiness.

Well, tweedle-deedle-ding-dong-dee,

that is the exact right answer!

You're in!

The running. (chuckles)

Do you have a number where we can reach you?

Oh, well, I don't have a phone,

but how about you just go outside and yell,

"Ich hab en Kivvel"?

It means "I have a bucket," but we'll get it.

Yeah, we will.

-All right. -Bye.

Well, good luck with your other interviews.

-He's perfect! -What?

We've interviewed over 20 people,

and that's who you want to hire?

His story is beautiful.

Growing up Amish, wondering what else is out there,

learning in this very café five minutes ago

that women are allowed to own businesses.

Okay, so you remember that woman Danielle

who went to a culinary school in Paris?

Gideon's only reference

is a basket weaver named Old Jebediah.

Randi, come on. I think I know what he's going through.

I mean, just two years ago,

I decided I didn't want to be a math professor

and I wanted to own a cat café.

Yeah, and everyone judges you for it.

Oh, please. Nobody judges me.

Wha...?

Okay, now I see why One-Eyed Ashley squeezed your ass out.

♪ Me, oh, my, oh, my, oh, me ♪

♪ Nothin' wrong with you but I'd rather be me. ♪

Max, do you find me attractive?

Once again, Sheila, I grazed against you in that elevator,

but it was an accident and I'm dating your daughter.

It's just, there are three times

as many women as men at Valley Hills,

and even I'm having trouble standing out from the crowd.

All those hussies with their new hips.

Well, I think you're beautiful.

And you and me have more in common than you think.

I'm retired, too.

You're unemployed.

Tomato, potato.

Want to party in my Pontiac?

Is there anyone you're interested in?

I'm really hoping to get to know this guy Rodrigo.

Ooh, he's handsome, charming, speaks Spanish.

I don't know, there's something exciting

about a man who can roll his Rs.

(rolling Rs): Burrito. In a Pontiac Fiero.

Please move a chair away.

So why don't you ask this Rodrigo out?

I would if I could get a moment alone with him.

He's always surrounded by a bunch of women

with visible diaper lines.

You need to find yourself a wingman.

Someone who can distract the competition

so you can get closer to...

(struggling to roll Rs): Rodrigo.

What are you doing?

It's like this.

(struggling to roll Rs): Rodrigo.

See? That easy.

(rolling Rs): My Fiero is right outside.

(door opens)

-Hey, guys. -CARTER: Hey. -Hi.

Well, the search is over,

we finally found our new baker.

This is Gideon.

-Hey. -Hi, Gideon. Welcome.

Wow, my first bar.

And my second Black person.

Excuse me?

Amish.

Oh. I loved you in Kingpin.

Gideon is on a journey of self-discovery.

And as someone who recently went through this myself,

I am giddy to be his guide.

(laughs) Hang on.

Giddy. Gideon.

Did you do that on purpose?

Yeah, wordplay's kind of my thing.

(both laughing)

Anyway, these are all of my favorite people.

Oh, and my mother.

Whoa.

You are so glamorous.

Are you a prostitute?

Aw, aren't you a dear?

Okay, that'll be $12.45.

Wait, no, no bartering, no bartering.

Money is just fine.

What are you doing? Let him cut his hair.

Hold up, this cupcake doesn't have any frosting on it.

Frosting is vanity, and vanity is a sin.

So is drinking before noon, but here we are.

Gideon, frosting is not a sin.

Yeah, and-and I know your faith is important to you,

but these bible-inspired cookies,

they're not really selling.

But they're scripture-doodles.

Well, they taste like the cookies you get in hell.

Son of a biscuit.

I am not good at this job.

Old Jebediah is right,

I don't learn nothing without the switch.

No, come on.

No one expects you to get everything right your first day.

Look at me and the SATs.

It took me two tries to get a perfect score.

Actually, it only took one,

I'm just trying to make him feel better.

Aw, shucks.

You're just being nice.

And you're just being too hard on yourself.

People like you and me, we beat ourselves up.

But we don't have to.

That's what Randi's for.

If you love what you do, it's not a job.

Gosh it all to heck, you're right.

I'm gonna go back to that kitchen

and make some dank cupcakes, no cap, bitches.

What? You're not the only one who can teach him things.

(both chuckle)

You guys want a drink?

Roy here makes a mean White Russian

with vodka and Ensure.

I thought you said you needed us to move a bunch of old bags.

Yes, they're over there.

Move them away from Rodrigo.

Start with Nancy.

She's a little too full of herself

since she went into remission.

Wait, wait, did you bring us here to be your wingmen?

So that's why you asked if I had Daisy Dukes.

Oh, if I still had a car, you'd be washing it.

Sheila, we are not pieces of meat.

Oh, speak for yourself.

I like being objectified.

It feels nice.

Hey, I'm thinking about making Gideon a dating profile.

Do you think it's safe to say he's still a virgin?

Girl, I wouldn't be surprised if he's never seen himself naked.

And why would you do that?

Well, because he said one of the reasons he left his community

was to find love.

Plus he's the only person I've ever met

who could actually be on Farmers Only.

-(grunting) -(squishing)

Uh, I think he may need a few minutes alone.

Gideon, are you churning butter?

Oh, we were running low, so I thought I'd make some.

-Oh, you really don't have to do that. -No, hang on,

this is gonna kill on Farmers Only.

You're living in a modern world now.

You don't have to churn your own butter.

Right, 'cause it's women's work.

Here, Randi.

Oh, I'd advise you not to hand me that stick.

What if I told you there's

a magical store that not only sells already-churned butter

but everything else you could possibly want?

Oh, there's a butter and harmonica store?
