Mr Taffer: So let me tell you
why I'm at this bar.
Billy wrote me a letter and I want to read it to you.
Dear Mr. Taffer, I've been to two of your seminars in Chicago
a few years ago.
You said if I ever needed anything
you'd remember me and help. I'm willing to step back in
and do whatever it takes not to lose my business.
Please, Mr. Taffer, help me. I will do anything.
Mr Taffer: Kev, what's Billy
doing right now?
Kev: Play pool and taking shots.
Mr Taffer: He's not doing anything.
Mr Taffer: There's Waterman.
Waterman: Where the hose at?
Mr Taffer: Waterman is a friend
who worked there for years,
who chose to step up and be a manager. He doesn't want to,
but if he doesn't, this place is going to go down.
Rezzo: Let's get (beep) up.
Let's get high. Let's get drunk.
Mr Taffer: There's Rezzo,
she's a bartender.
Mr Taffer: Look at her.
Speaker 5: No.
Mr Taffer: She's pulling a beer
with the cigarette in her hand.
Kev: Look at that right there.
Mr Taffer: Over the drink.
Speaker 5: Grabbing on the mouth
is always a great option too.
Mr Taffer: There you go, Kev,
you just licked her cigarette filter
when you take a drink of that glass.
Speaker 5: No drinks here.
Mr Taffer: There's crystal.
She's a bartender and assistant manager.
Mr Taffer: There's Carolyn, she's a server.
Carolyn: I don't know what's going on
with [inaudible 00:01:11].
Mr Taffer: There's Rob, Kev.
He's the kitchen manager.
Rob: Give me a little while.
They just put in a big order.
Mr Taffer: For recon, I got to Kansas
City Chiefs, offensive linemen, Mitch and Andrew.
They know bars. They know this town.
I thought they'd be perfect to give us the scoop on recon.
Mr Taffer: So this is a big moment
for Billy and his staff. Let's see if they deliver.
Rezzo: What are we having tonight?
Speaker 8: I'd usually do something mixed,
maybe a little sweet or fruity.
Rezzo: You can do like a long beach,
which is basically a long Island but with cranberry juice.
Speaker 8: I'll give that a shot.
Mr Taffer: Did she give them a menu?
Speaker 8: I don't know what to order,
I need to look at the menu.
Mr Taffer: So she's made no effort
to sell them anything.
Speaker 8: Oh, they're
getting live over there.
Mr Taffer: So the shot comes first.
Let's see. Now she's going to clean up the shots.
She now has everybody's saliva on her hands,
right from touching the rim of all those glasses.
Wipes her mouth with her hands. Put her hands through her hair.
She's doing it all along. She hasn't done one thing right!
Rezzo: Long beach.
Mr Taffer: Oh, look at the color of that.
Speaker 5: I'm actually confused
at what she just put in there.
Even if it's sweet and sour and cranberry,
that color is not normal.
Speaker 9: Does that taste good?
Speaker 8: It's not doing much.
It just kind of watered down.
Speaker 5: Oh man.
Speaker 8: So what's the deal
with ordering this food again?
Rezzo: Okay, so you're going
to go around to the food window.
You're going to order from the food window.
Mr Taffer: Now the fact that she couldn't
write it down and bring it over there
with the nine customers they have in the room is absurd.
Speaker 9: So I don't get why you can
just order there, but whatever.
Rob: You guys got any questions
about the menu?
Mr Taffer: Now, would you ever order food
from a guy with a towel on his shoulder like that?
Kev: No, not at all.
Speaker 5: No.
Kev: I would ask him, did you clean
your neck with that towel? I just want to know.
Rob: What can I get for you?
Speaker 8: I'm going to order
just the big burger.
Speaker 9: Can I just get grilled chicken?
Rob: And that's going to be at least
a 30 minute wait, are you guys okay with that?
Mr Taffer: 30 minute wait. At least.
Billy: Rezzo was supposed to have
a shot with the girls over there.
I know.
Waterman: I wonder how many shots
she's had tonight.
Billy: I don't know.
Kev: What kind of owner
would just say whatever?
Mr Taffer: Shrug it off.
Kev: She can get drunk,
steal money, fall. You know what I'm saying?
I don't understand it.
Mr Taffer: And whose booze is she drinking?
Billy's!
Kev: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Mr Taffer: Here we go.
So he's throwing raw chicken on the grill, Kev.
Has he washed his hands?
Speaker 5: Oh, and he's going in for more.
Kev: No, look, he's going in the bag.
Mr Taffer: Now he's going in the bag for...
Oh chips.
Kev: So that whole bag would have
to be thrown away. Look at that.
Mr Taffer: So those aren't nachos.
Those are more like deathos.
Kev: Yeah, yeah.
Mr Taffer: Right? You're going to eat some
raw chicken on your nacho chips. Can you imagine?
Speaker 5: No, I don't want to.
Mr Taffer: Look at that grill.
Now I thought that was a Char-Broiler it's so black.
That's a flat top.
Kev: That thing ain't been clean
since the early seventies.
Mr Taffer: Now whatever's cooking has got
to come out with some black on.
Kev: Yeah, no duh.
Mr Taffer: Wipes that rig again.
Touches it all with his bare hands.
Oh man.
And now his spatula, he goes to scoop up that chicken.
And what goes with the chicken on the bun?
Some of that disgusting grill.
Speaker 8: Her eyes are definitely
glazed over.
Rezzo: You guys doing all right
down here?
Speaker 8: Do you guys have tequila
or anything like that?
Rezzo: Oh yeah, you want some D?
I'll take the D.
Speaker 8: You can do mine slightly less.
Rezzo: Stop being a vagina.
Mr Taffer: She's getting drunker
and drunker.
Rezzo: I will (beep) you up bro.
Mr Taffer: So he writes me this letter,
tells me he's losing everything, Rezzo is drinking.
He doesn't even care about it.
She's getting drunker by the minute
and he's taking shots and playing pool. You know what?
I want to see if he's ready to do anything.
I'm going to go in and talk to him.
Kev: Go get him, John.
Billy: How are you doing sir?
Mr Taffer: The question is how
are you doing?
Billy: Could be better.
Mr Taffer: So I read your letter.
You said you would do anything to save your business.
Do you have any idea what's going on up there?
Billy: No.
Mr Taffer: So how are you
going to save anything? Billy:
I guess I might have to do something.
Mr Taffer: What did you do tonight?
Billy: Play pool.
Mr Taffer: Did you even look
at what's going on at your bar?
So what the hell are you doing, Billy?
Billy: I guess I'm doing it wrong.
Mr Taffer: No, you're not doing it wrong.
You're not doing (beep).
Mr Taffer: So you're a race car guy.
When you lose and lose and lose and lose, why do you do?
Do you do something different?
Billy: Yeah, fix it.
Mr Taffer: What did do here?
Billy: Nothing. I didn't do anything.
Mr Taffer: But you're losing
every day, right?
Billy: Yes sir.
Mr Taffer: And now you call me
to bail you out.
Let's go over to your bar for a minute.
So girls, why don't you light up another cigarette back here.
There we go. So is this legal to smoke behind a bar, Billy?
Is it? Because things like this happen
and now you can't consume any of those beers, right?
Rezzo: Right.
Mr Taffer: You're pulling a beer
with the cigarette over the beer,
but you didn't see that Billy, did ya?
What about you Waterman?
Did you do anything other than drink water tonight?
Waterman: No.
Mr Taffer: Who does she work for?
Waterman: Us.
Mr Taffer: How many more shots
are going to have?
You have one more drink, I will fire you.
Do you understand that?
Rezzo: I am little intoxicated,
I'm a little drunk. I have taken shots after shots.
I admit that.
I feel stupid right now. I should have been sober, on my A game and I wasn't.
