must say that I am not familiar with

these two Cuisines I have however been

intimate with ladies from both countries

out of the way I do have two or three

gold teeth that I may be willing to part

with this one is my college fund this

one I'm keeping for a rainy day

here if you need someone to cook I can

work in the kitchen but I don't do

dishes

Papa I'm so proud of you meaning I could

design the menu

you'll know the rules no hanging out

here when there's no lifeguard oh hello

blondes love what are you doing hanging

around with these foreigners actually

miss Knight we are going to open

restaurant hey perhaps you would like to

invest put my money in a business run by

immigrants fair chance even if you could

get a loan and a permit and find a place

to open it 99 of businesses fail in the

first year but not restaurants

and that's why it's just about

impossible for immigrants to get a big

clone I mean you not talk to them they

competition now they come to spy

whatever she say it's like all instead

was immigrants can't get loans that's

not true American citizen can sign for

U.S front man

thank you for tip

you will not drive me out of business I

will compete

I will arrange for loan

money and purchase food agreed and then

people meet back at apartment and post

to our new successful business yeah

God

working with such a fine looking loan

officer not just to be clear officer is

a bank title and not associated with the

police am I correct

and also to be clear I am not a legal

alien

[Music]

his best price then I take it

bad news long was the Night by bank that

should be no restaurant

you've spent all investors money on meat

yeah yeah I got good price but we have

no place to sell it we did not get loan

well maybe we can use meat to bribe bank

for long it's like old Hungarian saying

it take me to make meat short American

Banks nothing except the meat we have to

return it

[Music]
