<i>And for me, being the older brother</i>
<i>was complicated</i>

522

524
00:30:59,983 --> 00:31:03,069
that's maybe one of the reasons
I always was finding ways

00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:05,697
to be away from home in creative ways.

<i>and she would never take a "No."</i>

530

<i>And... And this is a trait probably</i>
<i>I learned from her, and is in my DNA.</i>

531
00:31:28,761 --> 00:31:32,849
And my father was, you know, a kind guy
that loves to cook for everybody.

I have that trait from him, too.

you know why I was upset with him?

Because you know
what happen with these people?

1027
01:00:09,439 --> 01:00:12,400
When you start giving food sometimes
in a disorganized way,

1028

-I know.
-And I... And now, I agree with you.

-Yeah.
-I don't wanna use that excuse

-of why I did it.
-No. No.

1037
01:00:32,128 --> 01:00:34,505
But at the same time,
when it happened, I want it.

1038
01:00:34,589 --> 01:00:36,674
Because sometimes what happens,
something like this happened,

1039
01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:40,178
and people see and everybody came.
Haiti, in... Because sometimes...

No, it's all the contrary.

-Bye.

especially when people
are hungry and thirsty.

1049
01:01:05,078 --> 01:01:07,205
Ain't a good job
because we're not maximizing

1050
01:01:07,288 --> 01:01:09,707
what we can do.
So, what else do you want me to tell you?

1051
01:01:09,791 --> 01:01:11,584
"Well, but you can say it
with nice words."

1052
01:01:11,668 --> 01:01:13,336
Okay, let me say it with nice words.

1053
01:01:13,419 --> 01:01:16,172
We are not maximizing the potential
of what we're doing.

1054
01:01:16,464 --> 01:01:19,133
All right, what's next?
If we go next, it's fine.

1055
01:01:19,217 --> 01:01:22,428
But if not, next is,
"We are not maximizing what we're doing!"

1056
01:01:29,602 --> 01:01:31,354
Now, guys, guys, guys, do a line.

<i>Sometimes, owning a restaurant</i>

1075
01:02:20,945 --> 01:02:22,321
The waiter confuses the table,

1076
01:02:22,822 --> 01:02:26,075
the cook forgets that somebody
had an allergy.

1079
01:02:31,539 --> 01:02:34,125
