:30:01
There's no denying that he's
refreshingly down to Earth...
:30:04
...for a corporate executive.
:30:06
So offbeat, in fact,
that Sunset Farms...
:30:09
...has captured the imagination
of the public and the industry.
:30:12
We wanted to find out
what the competition thinks.
:30:15
So we went to Paul Milton
of American Cookies.
:30:18
The bottom line is,
they make a really great product.
:30:21
You have what the public wants, and
everything else takes care of itself.
:30:25
- This is your office?
- This is pretty much where I operate.
:30:29
Frenchy decorated this place.
You can tell.
:30:32
She's got, uh,
all her stuff here.
:30:34
This is an antique,
you know.
:30:38
She says it's, like,
Louis XIV or Louis XV.
:30:42
It's, uh... I don't know how high
the Louises go, actually.
:30:46
But it's a top Louis.
It's one of the...
:30:49
Frenchy stuck a TV in it,
you know, because she's got a creative...
:30:53
- She's a creative decorator.
- It's very original.
:30:56
- Um, how much are you worth?
- Oh, plenty, plenty.
:31:00
- I mean, how much? Just between you and me.
- A lot.
:31:03
We're worth a lot of dough.
What ever you see is antiques.
:31:06
This thing here.
This if from...
:31:09
I don't remember exactly. It think it's the
Renaissance or the Magna Carta or something.
:31:13
But that's where it's from.
:31:15
Why did you decide to go
into baking so late in life?
:31:18
Well, Frenchy, we found out,
can make cookies.
:31:21
The Frenchy they're talking about...
:31:23
...and reigning culinary genius
of Sunset... - Hello.
:31:26
...is Frances Fox, who happens
to be the wife of the C.E.O.
:31:30
So you made cookies
your whole life...
:31:32
...and everybody told you
how delicious they were.
:31:34
- Yeah. I thought they were "B.S. ing"
me, you know? -Really?
:31:37
Yeah. Somebody gives you something
they cooked, you always say you enjoyed it...
:31:41
...even if it makes you throw up
after wards, so, you know...
:31:45
In a day and age where everyone seems
to have public relations handlers...
:31:49
...it's hard to imagine
a corporate brain trust...
:31:51
...that is more direct and less image
conscious than the group here at Sunset Farms.
:31:56
In fact, each person we met seemed
to be more eccentric than the last.
