8:15. Roland still isn't here yet.

You know if we're a half hour late for this pitch meeting

we'll be laughed out of the room.

Mr. Rose, you're stressing me out.

And I just chugged a bottle of CBD oil.

Patrick and I will need to get to the store at some point.

David, your father and Stevie

can use all the help they could get.

- Help? - I said support, dear.

Listen, I think it's a very good sign,

- that they've sent a jet. - There is a jet?

- Can I come? - I already asked.

I'll swap out with someone.

Stevie, you're gonna be great.

Okay. Here we go.

Here we go. Stevie, let's move.

Okay, Stevie.

Make sure they feed him lots of booze on the fight.

- Johnny, woo! Look at me. I'm you.

I can't believe your suit fits me,

we're completely different sizes.

And I have a much more athletic build.

He looks the same age as the day I met him.

Oh, I'm sure he's just as handsome as he's ever been.

Boys, this time tomorrow your store

may be the official supplier of Rosebud Motels

across the continent.

I have nothing but confidence, Mr. Rose.

Rollie, there's mints in your pocket,

there was a lot of onions in the omelette.

Goodbye, my conquistadors!

We are all relying on you...

No! We're cheering you on!

- Just wave. Just wave. - All right.

- Yay! - Woo!

Woo! Woo!

Can we maybe stop with the drum circle?

Just-I'm just not feeling great.

Are private planes always that bumpy?

Sorry, Stevie, just a bit anxious to get this started.

I believe in this team.

And we have an idea here that could be a nice little jewel

in the Advantage Capitol Association portfolio.

- Agree? - Agree.

Sure.

Mr. Rose. Ruth Clancy. I'm Mike Morrison's assistant.

It's an honor to meet you.

Well, hi Ruth, just call me Johnny.

Uh, do you know if there is water where we're going?

'Cause I just got a sudden case of dry mouth.

There's water waiting for you in the boardroom.

- Right. - Johnny, Mike has been

singing your praises ever since you reached out to him.

He's devastated he couldn't be here for the meeting.

- What? - Yeah, unfortunately, he had

to board a flight last night to Johannesburg, but he sends his best.

Um, we can always wait 'til he gets back.

He's there for a week.

On a personal note,

my parents used to take me to Rose Video

- all the time when I was a kid. - Oh.

I always loved the free popcorn. Nice touch.

Well, thank you, Ruth. It's always important

to make the experience more personalized.

I couldn't agree more.

- Hi. Ruth. - Stevie.

I like your offices.

- Office. - Thank you.

Right this way. I'll show you to the boardroom.

- Okay. - Hey does anybody want a mint

before we go up to the boardroom?

I'm looking at you, Johnny.

- I'm good, Roland. - Uh...

there you go.

Um... what are you doing?

Oh, just some light reorganization.

Okay, because it looks like you're packing.

You see a few cherished items being neatly folded

into a piece of luggage

and you immediately leap to conclusions.

So you're not packing then.

It's just a precaution.

God forbid I find myself once again

being forcefully evacuated

and given no time to do a thorough sweep.

Who will be forcefully evacuating you?

I will, if your father gets the green light.

And where will you be forcefully evacuated?

Well, the offices are in New York,

so one can only presume.

- You're moving to New York? - Hm.

When were you gonna tell me? Or you're just gonna like

up and leave in the middle of the night.

Alexis, neurosis is not becoming on a young woman.

Well, what are we supposed to do?

You just going like abandon us here?

Alexis, let's not count our poultry before it's incubated,

and depending on what we acquire,

we might not even have a guest room available.

Okay. Well, either way, the Interflix offices are there

and they told me that they wanted to talk to me

about continuing our relationship.

Felicitations, Alexis.

Okay, I know this technically isn't news yet,

but like... this is really good news.

Hi.

- What are you doing? - Working.

- What are you doing? - Um, I'm on a break.

What are you actually doing?

I am looking up apartment rentals in New York.

What are you actually doing?

I forgot my wallet and keys and phone. Wait.

Why-why are you doing that?

Um, apparently when dad signs the deal,

we are moving to New York.

What? Well, who's moving to New York?

Mom and Dad. And me.

And nobody thought to include me in this plan?

I literally just found out, and I'm telling you right now.

Okay. Well, this might be a stupid question,

but what if the deal doesn't go through?

Okay. You would have no way of knowing this,

but usually when someone sends a jet for you,

it means he's very interested. Trust me.

And Tiger Woods.

Okay. Also, and don't worry.

I knew you'd get all panic-y and weird about this,

so I'm looking for a two bedroom. You're welcome.

Okay. What if my husband and I

don't wanna share an apartment with you?

Oh, David, you try finding an affordable one-bedroom

in a place that's not Atlantic City.

This is a lot of information to process

on a Tuesday morning.

Like, I'm gonna have to talk to Patrick about this.

And, what, we move our business?

I mean, New York would be a good market for it.

Especially if we start supplying all those other motels.

Oh my God, David, look at this one.

It overlooks a park.

I would have my own bathroom.

And oh my God, your bedroom would have

one of those little beds that comes down from the wall.

Okay, we're two people.

We would get the master bedroom.

- But I have a lot of coats. - I have been looking forward

to seeing Kerry Washington in that all-female revival

- of "12 Angry Men." - Okay, David,

I'm gonna have to like bring down to earth for a sec.

There is no way you're getting tickets for that show.

But I love your enthusiasm.

Okay. I have to go back to work.

So why don't I just talk to Patrick,

and then we should all regroup at some point

because there is a lot of what ifs to go through.

Like what if we don't agree on apartment decor,

or candle fragrance, etc.

Totally.

I don't wanna get too excited about this,

but I will be putting our names down

for that ticket lottery to see Kerry

because Elle Fanning is supposed to be incredible

as the foreman.

- Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! - Oh my God.

This is Mr. Rose and Associates.

The floor is yours.

Well, good afternoon, everyone.

I'd like to say, long time no see,

but Mike's not here and we've just met.

Well, it's good to have you here.

I'm Bryce Wilson, this is my partner, Tripp Campbell.

Say hello to Advantage Capital.

All: Oh hi.

Hope the jet was Johnny Rose approved.

Oh.

Although I guess at this point,

coach would be Johnny Rose approved?

Quite the tumble you took there, Johnny.

Could have happened to any one of us.

But thank you for flying us in today.

- Yeah, that was Mike's idea. - Hm.

Think he felt bad 'cause he wasn't gonna be here, you know?

Maybe we should get things moving?

- Hi. - Spoken like a true C.O.O.

Now, I'd like to introduce you to my team.

This is Stevie Budd and Roland Schitt,

and together we are Rosebud Motel Group.

Look, we read the information packet you sent through.

Buying up local motels, dusting them off,

and selling it as a boutique experience. Right?

That's correct.

So Stevie how do you feel about walking us

through the projections?

Okay. So...

you might be thinking to yourself

these motels are small, how and why should I...

We invest?

Well, that's a good question.

I should hope so. It's why we're all here.

Well, here's why.

There are currently over 250,000 motels for sale

across North America.

Sadly, it's a dying industry,

but not one without potential.

Now, apply our re-invigoration model.

Re-invigoration.

Um, should I just wait until it unfreezes?

Billion dollar company and none of us can stop

technology from cacking out, am I right?

- I'll get in touch with I.T. - Okay.

What are you guys pumpin' in here, pollen?

Do you mind if I have some of that water there, please.

- Jesus. - Oh gosh!

- Roland! What are you doing? - What?

- Why don't we take five, huh? - Okay.

Don't worry. We'll get this cleaned up.

- Good. - I'm sorry, Mr. Rose.

No, no need to apologize.

I think a quick five would be a good idea.

Here we go.

Rolland:

Oh gals!

You shouldn't have.

Jocelyn, are we now moonlighting as town crier?

- Oh, no, Moira... - Cheeky gawpus you.

Yes, it's true.

Our husbands, at my husband's direction,

are currently in New York City,

vending their business to the corporate cognizant.

- Oh my gosh. That's so exciting.

I wonder if they'll go to the M&Ms store?

Shall I?

Hence our impending move

to the Big Red Delicious.

Excuse me?

Moira, I haven't said anything yet.

- Why the festivities then?

Grace is moving to Elm Valley.

That's why the cake says "Goodbye Grace".

Oh I-I...

I thought you were singling out

one of my notable attributes.

Shh. Okay, we'll just smooth things over

until Grace arrives.

- I-I'm right here. - Yes you are!

Grace! Our timorous grinagog.

I think I'll miss you most of all.

Moira, are you sure it isn't a bit premature

to be talking about all of this?

No, don't you worry, Jocelyn. Oh, you're kidding.

No, John has decades on these people.

Okay. Well, that makes me feel a little bit better.

I... I got a little concerned

when I got this text from Rolland,

but obviously I'm just reading into it so.

You've received correspondence?

What am I looking at? A cartoon head exploding?

Oh. It looks like three cartoon heads exploding.

Well, then they're blowing people's minds.

What's the concern?

It's just that usually when Rollie sends that emoji

it's like his head is exploding.

It's like he's in trouble.

Yeah. I get a lot of those texts during council meetings.

No, listen to me, Jocelyn.

The deal has to happen. Because it has to.

Because there is no alternative.

Okay? It's as simple as that.

You're gripping my wrist very tightly, Moira.

Okay. Well, let's just continue celebrating Grace.

- What? - I'm Grace.

I know. But she's not... you're

you're not celebrating enough. No.

I don't think you took long enough.

Okay, am I holding a treat for you?

I don't know, are you?

No. But you can share my muffin.

- Seriously. What took you so long?

Are you sitting down?

I mean, I'm, I'm clearly not. What's up?

So as we all know, they are currently in New York securing the deal.

- They secured the deal? - They are there talking

to people in New York about securing the deal.

Anyway, when the deal goes through

apparently their plan is to move to New York.

Wait? Whose plan? Your parents?

Yeah. And Alexis.

You seem awfully excited for your family to move away?

We would be moving with them!

What?

Yeah. Alexis has already short-listed apartments for us.

One of them was featured in season 3

of "Sex and the City".

Wow.

Don't-I don't know what to say.

I know. It's a lot to process.

I was overwhelmed at first as well.

I mean, David, our business is here.

Okay. What? You-you don't wanna go?

Honestly? I don't know. I...

Like you're just telling me

that you wanna uproot our entire lives,

and it's just throwing me for a bit of a loop.

Okay. Well, you know, at this point it's just talk.

So there's a good chance that, that the deal won't go through.

In which case, you know this was just a big waste of time

and frown lines.

I thought you'd be excited.

Would half a muffin help?

I'm not sure.

Okay. Y-you took it so that's a good sign.

Look, we can't let this bumpy start derail why we're here.

And why are we here, Stevie?

- Because we have an idea. - No. Because we have a great idea.

And they should be...

And they should be lucky to have us.

Damn right.

Johnny, sorry to interrupt,

but we're back up and running.

Oh, great.

Okay. Let's do it.

So I came in two under par

and that is with half the course under water.

It was-it ruined the whole trip.

- Horrible. - What course?

Ocean Course on Kauai.

Ah, what hotel?

We got a villa at the St. Regis.

Oh. Very nice. I've stayed there quite a few times.

- Hm. - Now let me ask you,

how many of you have stayed in a motel?

Well, motels are small hotels without the golf courses

in case you...

Well, good-good-good.

So you're familiar at least.

Now, when I say "motel", what comes to mind?

Uh, rundown? Unclean? Unsafe?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well, that's what I used to think.

I always saw motels as a last resort,

a dreaded pit stop.

But I was wrong.

Motels have the potential of offering a window

into the unique charm

of small town life.

And that's exactly what the Rosebud Motel Group plans to do.

Open that window

and revitalize the classic roadside motel

for a new generation.

Turns out, a couple of coats of paint

and dusting off some mid-century furniture

can go a long way.

That's right.

We've seen a 400% increase in occupancy

since we started marketing.

And cleaning.

And if this is what we can do with one motel,

just imagine what we can do with 10,000.

I'm not coming to you for charity here,

I'm coming to you with an opportunity.

There is value in these motels.

And if you're wondering how I'm so sure...

My family and I have been staying in a motel

for the past three years.

And I wouldn't trade our stay there for anything.

That's how strongly I believe in this idea.

As Stevie can attest,

if my family can find peace and comfort

staying at a motel, anyone can.

And I can only wish that one day soon

you and your families can experience the love

and simple pleasures

that come with staying even for one night...

at a Rosebud Motel.

Where every stay

feels like home.

Thank you for your time.

I think that's great.

Mr. Rose, that was so good.

Did you see their faces?

I mean, I think-I think they liked it.

Johnny, even I was impressed,

and I thought you had blown it for all of us.

Didn't you have a briefcase?

See this is what happens when Johnny impresses me.

I get confused and I forget what I'm doing.

What was in that briefcase anyway?

Nothing. You told me to look intimidating.

So I brought a briefcase.

I'll go get it. I'll meet you guys downstairs.

Mr. Rose, you were so good.

First a video store, now a motel chain.

What? He wants to reinvent the pager next?

I uh... forgot my briefcase.

Don't wanna forget that.

Do you people know what it took for Johnny Rose

to come back and do this?

After being away for all that time?

Shame on you. Shame on all of you.

Okay. I just realized you guys are flying us home.

So I apologize for my outburst,

but I don't regret it.

The man's a legend.

Family!

- What's going on? - Nothing is going on, David.

I'm just worried about your father.

I don't believe the two of you were encouraging enough before he left.

- I made him a card. - And I said "take care".

We need to do something.

Send some energy his way.

Hands, children.

What's going on?

Perhaps we should kneel.

- Okay. You're scaring me. - Please.

Hm.

- Ow! - Ooh.

Okay, are we praying?

Don't be ridiculous.

To Whom It May Concern:

There's a man out there, my husband,

he's out there trying to build back what we've lost.

And... I'm sorry; 5'10', slow talker...

Okay. I think they get it.

It's our turn to send him abetment.

It's just that this is feeling a bit desperate.

Can we do this without holding hands?

No! He's worked so hard while the rest of us

have just been flailing about.

I don't think that's accurate.

- Absolutely not the case. - I implore you...

please forward the following;

John. My macho man.

You don't deserve another failure.

Oh.

Okay. What is happening?

I don't know, David, just go with it.

John, we're here for you.

Oh, Alexis your hands as dry as an autumn leaf.

- Eww. - Shh.

Well, I'm just happy it's over, Stevie.

Those rooms are never easy,

but you were right there when I needed you.

Okay, I got my briefcase,

Let's go. Where is the car?

Well, we still have a few minutes, Rolland.

We finished early, the car is not here yet.

I can't wait to pop some champagne on that plane.

We can finally start enjoying ourselves.

Um, Johnny, let's not jump the gun just yet, okay?

- Mr. Rose. - Ruth.

Did we forget something else?

Uh Ruth, we don't need to be ushered out,

we know where the door is. Come on, guys.

I just wanted to come out

and personally thank you for your pitch.

Well, you're welcome.

It felt like we really turned things around in there.

- You certainly did. But between us,

they won't be moving forward with the idea.

How can they even decide that fast?

It's okay, Stevie.

They've turned down a thousand good ideas.

I was in the room when they passed on Uber.

Well...

I guess, I guess that's it.

I really shouldn't be saying this on company soil,

but two of the junior partners and I

are in the process of starting our own firm.

We've got the team, we've secured the capital,

and we're planning on launching next month,

and this is exactly the kind of project

we're hoping to get behind.

Maybe I should wait to hear from Mike first.

Johnny, I think you should listen to her.

Believe me, those people up there,

they don't deserve to be in business with you.

Mr. Rose, I don't know,

I feel like I'm getting a good vibe from her.

We would love to take you for lunch

and hear more about your proposal.

Okay, I hear another vehicle. Heavier tread.

Oh my God. They're gonna get here when they get here.

Is that... could that be their limousine?

That's them!

Oh, your father's insistence on telling us in person

could so go either way.

This threat of failure is inhumane.

Jocelyn: No, I think it's exciting.

It's like "Deal or No Deal",

but with the rest of our lives.

John! No!

So you're like a businesswoman now.

Damn right I am.

I sealed the deal. It was really me.

- Oh my God! - We did it!

We all did it!

Champagne! Champagne for all!

- We only have Zampagne. - Zampagne for all!

Yes!
