Waffle Street Page #4

Synopsis: Waffle Street's riches-to-rags tale is an adaptation of James Adams' 2010 memoir of the same name (published by Sourced Media Books), which chronicles the financier's foray into the food industry. After being laid off at the hedge fund where he worked, and further jaded by his culpability in the crisis, Adams chose to work at a popular 24-hour diner where he claims "most of his financial knowledge has been gleaned." Offering a fresh take on the fallout of corporate greed, Adams' is a tale of the redemption and unlikely friendship found under the tutelage of Glover's character Edward, the best short-order cook in town.

but I'm really willing

to learn a new trade.

This is... This is great.

(speaking Spanish)

- Yeah. "Try it out."

- (speaking Spanish)

I would love to try it out.

That's exactly

what I'm looking to do.

That's... Wow, okay. Well...

- So I'll just call you?

- (speaking Spanish)

- I'll call...

- (speaking Spanish)

- Okay?

- Okay. Wow.

- All right.

- (speaking Spanish)

That feels good just to

have that on my hands.

- Doesn't even bother me. Doesn't even...

- Okay.

- I'm excited.

- (speaking Spanish)

Okay.

So, what are you, a stockbroker?

I worked in the bond market.

That's not a stockbroker?

No. No, sir. I've never been

licensed to sell securities.

You ever do work

like this before?

I have not,

but I am a quick learner.

I'm sure you are.

But we don't have the time

or the personnel to train you.

Thank you.

I could start by sweeping up.

My kid does that already.

Here is my resume.

Well, if it doesn't say you've

ever cut, sold, or laid carpet...

you might as well

put it back in your purse.

This is an attache case.

Thank you.

Jim:
It had been three weeks.

And after hand delivering

57 applications,

I had managed to secure nothing more

than an appointment for an oil change.

Maybe I was doomed to be a

white-collar desk jockey.

Waffle fact.

With more than 1,700 locations,

all open 24 hours,

Papa's Chicken and Waffle is the seventh

largest food chain in the United States.

During my college heyday,

Papa's was a late-night staple

and a place

I could always clear my head.

Just seeing the establishment provided

more comfort than I had felt in months.

(oldies music playing)

Yeah.

Yeah.

- Just have a seat. She'll be right with you.

- Okay.

You are right, man. That has

definitely got something.

It's called groove, baby,

and not a lot

of those new cats have it.

- (laughing)

- I'm with you, bro.

How much is the Wanda?

Same price as it was yesterday,

Kathy, $9.72 with taxes.

Hey, Mary!

Where you at, girl?

I mean, people are dying

of starvation out here.

Coming!

Come on now! I can't be grilling

and greeting at the same time.

I will have the Wanda.

Coming up.

- Wanda!

- Wanda's working.

What can I get you?

Orange juice, Wyatt with

cheese, and an application.

What do you mean?

You wanna work here?

Are you still hiring?

We're always hiring.

It's my third time working here.

Lord help us.

Fill this out.

I'll get a manager.

- There's only four questions.

- Yeah.

I guess I just expected it

to be longer.

Not at Papa's.

Hey, hey,

what's the man's order?

And call it out on the bird.

Wyatt with cheese.

Copy that. Wyatt with cheese.

Coming on the fly.
