- Speak to an agent.

No.
Speak to an agent!

Not a computer.

A person.
A human being.

Are you a person?

Are you a person?

You don't fool me.
You're not a person.

Be gone, demon!

Hey.

- Hey.

- I was--

I'm here.

- Me too.

- Here we are.

- Yep.

- Yep.

- Good morning.

- It was until a demon
got in my phone.

Hey, is your restaurant
management class still doing

that unit on kick-butt ideas?

- Ah.
You mean Innovative Strategies.

Yes.

- You know, I think people
would rather go to a class

called Kick-Butt Ideas.

Anyway, you're gonna
want to go in there

and brag about your sister.

- I can start by telling them
how modest she is.

- [laughs]

- I already brag about you.

I say we are
an unbeatable team.

- Well, our team just notched
another win.

- [gasps] Yay, team!
- Mm-hmm.

- What did we do?

- I talked to the bike shop
next door,

and they're going to lease
our upstairs storage room

that we never use.

- Wow.

- Well,
that's a really lame "wow."

I'm talking about
an additional $500 a month.

And we don't have
to spend a penny.

Let's write up the lease.

Ha-ha!

- No.

- I'm sorry.
Did you just tell me no?

- Yes.

both: Wow.

- ♪ Sometimes it feels
like a big ol' fight ♪

♪ To get through the day ♪

♪ And sleep on
through the night ♪

♪ But here
you'll find a place ♪

♪ That'll surely
lift your spirits ♪

♪ You belong
at Happy's Place ♪

- OK, I would like
to expand upon this "no."

Specifically, what the heck
are you talking about?

- Since I started my class,

I've been coming up
with ideas for the tavern,

and my favorite one is
for the upstairs storage room.

I want to contribute
to our success.

- Success, like in

"an additional
$500 a month" success?

- Bobbie, I respect your ideas.

I always do.

But I want to present my own.

Because I know
that you respect me.

- Absolutely.

What's your idea?

- Uh, in class,
they taught us to present

on offense, not on defense.

- Is it a football class?

- Ha-ha.

I just mean,
I want to do it properly.

- OK, fair enough.

When would you like
to present properly?

- How about tomorrow morning?

- I'll put it in my book.
- Great.

- Actually,
I don't have a book.

I'll just remember it.

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Hey, Steve.

What's that?

Training equipment for GI Joe?

[laughs]

- Hilarious.

It's called hook and ring.

- Oh, cool.
How do you play?

- You hook the ring.

Anyway, Takoda brought it

from his house
for the customers.

He says it requires
a lot of patience to win,

so you and I are disqualified.

- Are you kidding?

I am the queen of games.

Sometimes when I would play
hide-and-seek with my mom,

she couldn't find me all day.

- You're such a good player.

Proud of you.

- So you wanna play?

- Mm, I'll pass.
- Mm.

[clucking]

Is there a chicken
on the loose?

- You think that bothers me?

I went to an all-boys school,
and they could find me.

I'm not doing it.

Takoda warned
I might get obsessed

because I'm, you know, me.

- Yeah, but I'm not.

I'm, you know, me, OK?

- I wouldn't do that
if I were you, Gabby.

That ring is impossible
to get on the hook.

It was making my kids nuts
that they couldn't beat it.

- Yeah, well,
when you go home tonight,

you can tell them that
Aunt Gabby got their revenge.

- If you say so.

- You wanna watch me win?

- I'd rather play
hide-and-seek.

- OK, I'm just making sure

I have everything
for the pitch.

- I know something you forgot--

tetanus shots.

You know,
most people have junk drawers.

Daddy had a crap room.

- I get it.

What you see
is a dingy storeroom.

But I need you to put
all that out of your mind.

Maybe it would help
if you closed your eyes.

- And let the spiders
crawl into my hair?

I don't think so.

- Can you hear it?

- Hear what?

- It's passing
by word of mouth.

It's popping up
on social media.

Mysterious flyers appear
on the university campus.

Everybody's talking about it.

- Talking about what?

- The hottest, newest nighttime
entertainment hotspot in town.

The Knoxville Sisters
Secret Speakeasy.

[jazz music playing]

- A speakeasy?

Your coolest, newest idea
is a bar from the 1920s?

Oh, maybe Babe Ruth
will stop by.

- This idea,
the modern speakeasy,

is one of the hottest
nationwide trends

in the hospitality business.

- I don't know about that.

- I do.

And I can back it up
with tons of research.

People are interested
in immersive experiences,

in nostalgia, in being part
of something exclusive.

You and I are going to tap
into that market.

- Isabella, it would cost
a bundle

to gussy this place up enough
to make it into a bar.

- No gussying.

That's the beauty
of this space.

There are speakeasies
around the country

that spend a fortune
to look exactly like this.

- Hmm.

Ah! Begone, demon!

- Bobbie, relax.

I did that.

And it was just with a few
smart bulbs that I bought.

If we get
a full lighting scheme in here,

a decent sound system, I mean,
we're practically ready to go.

- So there would be money
we'd have to put into it.

- Well, yes.

Electrical upgrades,
some furnishings,

the lighting and sound system
I mentioned.

- Spending money
with no guaranteed return?

Boy, that sounds
a little risky.

- Every idea comes
with risk, Bobbie.

- Not renting to the bike shop.

The only thing risky
about that is

having to see those weird dudes
in their bike shorts.

- I really believe
in this idea.

- I know you do, hon,

and you've done a heck of a job
explaining it.

I just don't think it's
something we can do right now.

- What are you saying?

- I'm saying it's a no.

- But you can't say that.

- I can't?

I think I just did.

- I own 50% of the tavern,
and I say yes.

- Well, my 50% says no.

- So what do we do now?

- I don't know.

I guess one of us has to die.

- Begone, demon!

.

- No whammy,
no whammy, no whammy.

[groans]

Damn-a-wham-stinkin'-
wham-damn-it!

[grunts]

- Excuse me.

I ordered beer a while ago,
and I'm still waiting.

- Yeah.
Well, I wanted to marry Sting.

But guess what.
I'm also still waiting.

[grunts]

- Gabby, this is nuts.

- I know, right?

I mean, it's a tiny hook.

It shouldn't be this hard.

- No, I'm talking about
this is nuts.

- OK, look, I just need
to get it once, OK?

I can't quit as a loser.

Besides, I've only been
doing it since--

you know, it's not important
how long I've been doing it.

- Do you remember when we had
that one-armed bandit in here?

- Hey, I'll serve anyone.

- I'm talking about
the slot machine.

- Oh, yeah.

Oh, man, we spent hours
on that thing,

trying to get all three
cherries to line up.

- No, we didn't spend hours.
You did.

Which is why
we had to get rid of it.

- Yeah, but this is different.

I'm not losing money.

- Well, the tavern is.

You got people waiting
for drinks here.

- OK, I can multitask.

- The couple at table five says
you got their order wrong.

- The gin and tonics?

What did I give 'em?

- A bottle of ketchup
and a salt shaker.

- OK, I'm not giving up

until I get this ring
on this hook.

I wanna be a hooker!

I mean, I wanna be a winner!

Chaka Khan!

[grunts]

- The great thing about
the speakeasy is--

- Wait, I heard Bobbie said no
to this idea already.

Why are you telling me?

- You are on the forefront
of cool, OK?

I want your opinion.

- Uh-huh.

- And maybe you eventually give
that opinion to Bobbie,

and it changes her opinion
and it gets us

out of this stupid
50/50 deadlock.

- You're playing games.
Gabby's playing games.

Everybody stop playing games!

- Please just look
at this chart.

These are
the average growth rates

in markets similar to ours,

even without
traditional advertising.

Just social media
and word of mouth.

- Wow,
that's pretty impressive.

- What's pretty impressive?

- Oh, I was just showing Steve
all the profits

my idea would bring in.

- Well, did you tell him

the profits are
currently imaginary

and mine are real?

- They're not imaginary.

They just exist in the future.

- The future?
The one with the speakeasies?

Look, Steve,
I don't have a chart.

But don't you think
it makes good business sense

to bring in
a guaranteed $500 a month?

- You gotta get
used to this, Bobbie,

because this will not be
my last idea.

- Oh, yippee!

We get to do
this argument again.

- [groans] Why didn't Happy
leave us a tiebreaker?

- Wait.

We can let Steve decide.

- Excuse me?

- Be the tiebreaking vote.

- Yeah.

He should know which one
would be the best investment.

He's an accountant.
- Exactly.

I work with numbers,
not weird family dynamics.

- Steve will be the tiebreaker.

Whatever he picks goes.

- Sounds good to me.

- Sounds terrible to me.

- Relax.

I mean, it's not like
you have to pick sides.

You just have to pick an idea.

- Yeah.
No hard feelings.

- No.
- We promise.

- Mm.

- Fine.

As the tavern's accountant,
weighing in all the options,

thinking about
risk versus reward,

looking at both
the macro and the--

- Oh!
- Come on.

- I pick Bobbie's idea.

- What?
- I'm sorry, Isabella,

but the numbers
are on her side.

- Did you hear that?
Numbers are on my side.

- Stupid numbers.

Fine.

- She said no hard feelings,
but her feelings

seem extremely hard.

- Bobbie,
I have something for you.

- What's that?

- I found someone who wants
to rent the upstairs unit

for $600 a month.

Huh, guess I got the numbers
on my side now.

- Oh-ho!

Who's the tenant?

- Me.

.

- I don't know if you're
getting dizzy doing that,

but I'm getting dizzy
watching it.

- I need to talk.

Do we still do that?

- We're doing it now.

It's not exactly riveting,
but we're doing it.

So, uh,

is this about us?

- Oh, no.

- OK.

What's on your mind?

- It's about Isabella.

- Well, if you're asking me
if she and I

have talked about
that thing with Happy,

haven't done it yet.

- Oh, and I'm sure you will.

Nope, it's about the speakeasy.

- I thought you killed
that idea.

- Why does everybody say that?

It sounds terrible
when you say it that way.

- OK, what I meant to say is,

you debated the merits
of the concept,

and then, like always,
you got your way.

- Oh, I'm so glad
we can still talk.

I don't know if you've heard,
but she's gonna do it anyway.

She's gonna use her own money.

- She is?

That kid's got guts, huh?

- What if it's a mistake?

- Then it's a mistake.

Great thing
about being young is,

you got a lot of time
to make up for mistakes.

- Well, I'm not that young.

What if I'm the one
making the mistake?

- [sighs] By telling her no?

- She used to have small ideas

that were so easy
to say yes to,

like movie night
or adding an appetizer.

This one's big.

I don't know if I wanna take
that big of a risk.

- I don't get it.

You already told her you don't
want to be a part of it.

So what are you worried about?

- I'm worried
that she'll be fine with that.

You ever heard
of Sears and Roebuck?

Whatever happened to Roebuck?

I don't want to be Roebuck.

- So you're worried
that she's gonna leave

and go out on her own?

- Exactly.

That's the thing
I don't want to risk.

- I don't like splitting up.

- Yeah, I get that.

- [grunts] OK.

[groans] What is wrong with me?

- I'm sorry, Gabby.

I never should've brought
that thing into the bar.

- No.
No, I'm happy that you did.

- Really?

- Yes.

I've spent my entire life

thinking that I was good
at games.

And now I know
that I've been living a lie.

In a way, I feel free.

[groans]

- Steve said you used
to play games with your mom

when you were a kid.

- Yeah, all the time.

In bars.

- In bars?

- Yeah.

And she'd use me
to win her free drinks.

Ah, those were the days.

Just shake some sawdust
on the shuffleboard,

slide that disc
into the three-point zone,

and Mom gets a free mai tai.

Ah, sweet youth.

- And you'd always win?

- You just have to keep trying.

That's all.

And then you would win.

- Always?

- I mean,
not every single time.

That would be unrealistic.

- This is a game.

You are a person.

- And this is a table.

It's fun to say
the name of things.

I just needed to win.

Then I knew she liked me.

- You don't need
to win anymore, Gabby.

We already like you.

- Finally.

I'm a hooker!

When did we close?

.

- Well, I guess
you start over there,

I'll start over here,
and we move towards each other?

- Sounds good.

I'll see you in a week.

- Wait, I wanna help.

- Oh, my God!

Steve, I can't believe
you came up here.

- The speakeasy is
a great idea, Isabella.

I wanna be supportive,

while not contracting
the plague.

- [panting]

Isabella.

- Bobbie, are you OK?

- It's those stairs.

Boy, they'll knock the wind
right out of you, right?

all: No.

- All right, Isabella,
I wanna give you this.

- What are you doing?

- Well, I wanna give you back
your 600 bucks,

and I was gonna slap it down
real dramatic-like,

like you did it.

But I left it
down in my office.

- You can't do that.

- Yeah, you're right.

I can't take
those stairs anymore.

- No.

We agreed
it came down to numbers.

Right, Steve?

- She's right.

Hers is the highest bid.

You cannot reject her money
without a good reason.

- Well, I have a good reason.

I wanna be your partner.

- Oh.
Oh, this is great.

I'm so glad I could be part
of this beautiful moment.

- I found a wasp nest.
- Yeah, no, I'm out.

- [laughs]

- You wanna be part
of the speakeasy?

What changed your mind?

- Well, I realized
I turned down a chance

to do something really special
with my sister

just because something was
kind of scary.

- I'd love to do this with you.
- OK.

- But it's clear you're
uncomfortable with the risk.

And if I do this on my own,
it's all on me.

- What? I love a risk!

I also love
that your generation wants

cobwebs and creaky wood and--

- A wasp's nest.
- Ah!

- This speakeasy proposal
isn't something

that my co-owner sister
just threw together.

- You're right about that.
- Yeah.

Your idea was
a well-thought-out concept

that has so much life.

And it could be
something great.

- Or it could fail.

- Not if our unbeatable team
sticks together.

I don't want us to be divided.

- I don't want that either.

- So we're gonna do this thing!
- Yes!

- As long as you agree,
if it doesn't beat

the rental money in six months,

we do a lease
with the bike shop.

Deal?

- Deal.
- [laughs]

- Oh, thank you
for trusting me.

And I trust you too.

But we should really
get this in writing.

- [laughs]
First thing in the morning.

- Bobbie, I just know
that we can make this

the hottest bar in Knoxville.

- OK, one more hurdle.

We need to make sure
that our tavern liquor license

is valid up here.

- Oh, we don't have
to worry about that.

[squeals]
This is the best part.

This speakeasy will only serve
alcohol-free mocktails.

- [laughs]

- [scatting]
- Ah!

Did I just agree to open a bar
that doesn't serve alcohol?

- You did.

- I need a drink.

- Wait, is anybody else
gonna help me clean?

- Come on, man!

[indistinct TV chatter]

- Hey, thanks
for the talk earlier.

Isabella and I are gonna
give the speakeasy a shot.

- Oh, that's great, Bobbie.

Any time.

- Any time?

- When we broke up,

you said that we should just
go back to being friends.

So yeah,

you can come talk to me
any time, Bobbie.

- Hmm.
- Any time.

- [sighs]
Thanks, friend.

- You ever play this thing?

- Not in a million years.

- Well, let's try it.

- OK.

- Grab ahold of one and--

One...

- Two...
