(bell dinging)
- Oh my God.
Oh my God, wow wow wow.
I'm so sorry.
- Happy Saturday.
- I'm so sorry, hi, happy Saturday.
Everything looks so good, I'm sorry,
I'm a little overwhelmed.
I haven't had real ice cream in like 10 freakin' years
and I just found out that my lactose intolerance
went away, I have no idea why, pregnancy is batshit,
I am gonna take it.
- Well, digestion actually slows down during gestation
allowing the body to better break down
the lactose in the milk.
- Whoa, you know a lot about pregnancy.
- About dairy.
- We can help find the right sundae for you,
we'll just ask you a few questions.
- Totally, totally, also I need one for my boyfriend,
he's just circling outside, I'm sorry.
- No problem, are you drawn to a denser,
more indulgent cream?
- Yeah, definitely.
- Do we like salty with our sweet?
- Usually yes, but the cankles are pretty bad right now,
so not too salty.
This is so exciting for me, by the way.
- And does the idea of an afterlife
bring you comfort or distress?
- Excuse me?
- Honey or agave?
- Honey.
- How open is your pallette to herbaceous notes?
- It's open.
- When you close your eyes and imagine serenity,
where do you see?
- Whoa that's a good question.
You know I think I would see this little light house
that I went to with my parents,
to the beaches of Jutland in Denmark.
It was the last trip we ever took as a family.
- Cup or cone?
- Cup.
- Capricorn? - Libra.
- And do you think you ever do fully processED
your parents divorce?
- I'm sorry how did you know that--
- On the average children of divorce are more likely
to visit ice cream shops on Saturdays.
A positive association with an over compensating
weekend parent.
Plus the three texts from mom left on read.
- And of course you said boyfriend not husband.
But no one in a new relationship would trust
someone to pick out ice cream for them.
So you've been in a relationship for a while
but have consciously been putting off marriage.
Maybe because of something in your own childhood.
- Do you keep him forever circling in the car
outside your heart?
- I mean I guess I never did really wanna get married.
And I'm sure probably a lot of that comes from
watching my parents fight for my whole childhood.
Tiny things become huge things.
Jeff and I are so good at communicating
that I just feel like I don't wanna add any pressure to it.
And with the baby coming I think,
yeah I think I'm just scared that we'll become my parents
and we're gonna ruin a really good thing.
- Perfect.
(soft orchestra music)
- A scoop of fior di latte with honeyed whipped cream,
a rosemary creme anglais and crumbles of a danish blue.
A true lact explosion.
- We call it Lactasia.
- Thank you.
(soft orchestra music)
- The honeyed cream is over whipped.
We're looking for stiff peaks,
not craggy cliffs.
- It wanted a heavier hand or it'd break in the sea.
You need to trust me.
- Maybe I'd trust you if I didn't have to listen
to your atrocious whisk technique.
- I'm tired of being your whipping boy.
I can whip somewhere else.
- Oh good, I heard Cold Stone was hiring.
- Great!
'Cause we're gonna be out of business in a week anyway.
- Well, thank God for that
'cause if I had to deal with you for one more week,
I'd burn my ears in a waffle iron.
(intense music)
(inspiring orchestra music)
- Ice cream's delicious, mama.
Thank you for making me.
- It was my pleasure.
(intense music)
- And that - Hey!
- Sister.
- Look what you did!
- Stop it.
You guys need to talk through your issues.
Okay, you have created something
incredible here.
Don't end it now.
- Wow.
So I guess you're not your parents after all.
(soft piano music)
- So that fight was all for show?
- Mh-mm.
We do have our differences from time to time,
but we work through them.
We could never do this alone.
There's no "I" in cream.
- Plus we knew that the stress of watching
two people argue would bring extra
stomach acid into your lower esophagus,
a nice way to balance out such a heavy cream
heavy dish.
- It did. - This one's on the house.
And hey, another for your Jeff.
Listen, marriage isn't for everybody,
so no pressure on that,
but whatever you want it to be, you'll make it work.
You guys are gonna be great parents.
- Thank you.
This place is incredible.
Thank you.
(soft piano music)
Lactasia.
Could be a nice name.
(bell dings)
- We'll be out of business in a week.
Good one.
(laughs)
