Bar Exam Season 4 Episode 10: SugarCity Presents Lorenzo’s Kitchen by SugarCity

LINCOLN, MADISON, REAGAN, SAM, ADAM, and CHASE are about to walk into Lorenzo’s Kitchen by SugarCity when LINCOLN notices a sign. 


LINCOLN

Do you all see that? SugarCity Presents Lorenzo’s Kitchen by SugarCity?


SAM

Sounds lengthy. 


ADAM

Also sounds like Lorenzo’s losing control. 


CHASE
Pretty soon it’s just going to be SugarCity’s Kitchen at this rate. 


MADISON
Don’t even say it. 


They all walk inside the restaurant. LORENZO walks up to them. 


LORENZO

Welcome to SugarCity Presents Lorenzo’s Kitchen by SugarCity!


REAGAN

You’re okay with this?


LORENZO

Just some experimentation. 


CHASE
Big word!


LORENZO
Thank you. 


ADAM sees HARRY out of the corner of his eye. 


ADAM

What is Harry wearing?


LORENZO

Clothes. 


LORENZO looks over to HARRY. 


LORENZO
Yeah, clothes. 


SAM

Looks like a dumb uniform to me. 


HARRY runs over to the group. 


HARRY

What’s not to love about this uniform? Other than green being my least favorite color, the candy designs looking stupid, and SugarCity emphasized way more than Lorenzo’s Kitchen? 


LORENZO

Mine’s coming soon. 


HARRY
Yeah, Lorenzo got the size they make for people after they eat too much SugarCity candy. 


MADISON

I’m sure we’ll get used to the new uniforms. Let’s just go about our day as if they don’t exist. 


HARRY

That’s what I’m telling myself. Hasn’t worked so far. 


FRED walks over to the group. 


FRED
Howdy! Like the new uniforms?


After a long silence:


FRED

I take it that’s a no. You’ll get used to them. 


LINCOLN

They don’t scream Lorenzo’s Kitchen to me. 


FRED
Me neither. This is SugarCity Presents Lorenzo’s Kitchen by SugarCity. The top executives at SugarCity have ordered a greater integration of SugarCity into Lorenzo’s Kitchen for optimal profit. 


ADAM

Optimal profit can’t be hit unless you give restaurant goers a product they enjoy. 


FRED
Our research department found this design to be best with focus groups. 


REAGAN

Consider us the focus group that hates them. 


FRED
As I said, you’ll get used to them. Go about your day now. 


FRED walks away. 


LINCOLN
Is it me, or has Fred gotten more controlling?


HARRY

It’s not you. 


LORENZO

I get it. SugarCity is a business and he wants the best for Lorenzo’s Kitchen. 


REAGAN

No, he wants the best for SugarCity. It’s just convenient for you that this venture is working. But make too many changes and you lose customers. 


LORENZO

I’m just gonna play along. I sold the restaurant to SugarCity, after all. Let’s head on over to the bar. 


Everyone starts walking. 


MADISON

Uh...Lorenzo?


LORENZO
Yes?


MADISON

What are those decorations?


LORENZO
The sports memory! 


LINCOLN
The other ones. 


LORENZO

Stuff from SugarCity about their history and whatnot. 


SAM
Seems like an awful lot of stuff. 


LORENZO
It is. But Fred says this is what’s best for SugarCity. 


CHASE
What about what’s best for Lorenzo’s Kitchen?


LORENZO

What Fred says, goes. Whether I like it or not. 


REAGAN

Is that what Fred told you?


LORENZO

Yes.


LINCOLN
Lorenzo, I don’t like the direction this place is headed. Let SugarCity take over everything and next thing you know you’re going out of business!


LORENZO

They may seem like stupid changes right now, but...wow, you’re right. What do I do?


ADAM

Talk to Fred about it. 


LORENZO walks over to FRED. 


LORENZO
Hey Fred. I have issues with these uniforms and the stuff on the walls. In fact, everyone at the bar does too. 


FRED
They can leave if they don’t like it. This is what SugarCity wants. 


LORENZO
Be honest, do you like this?


FRED
Well...actually, no, I don’t. But I’m employed by SugarCity, so for the sake of my job, I love the changes. Including ditching the regular menu for a day soon. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s closing time. 


LORENZO
Right. I’ll see you later.
