auntie raised both my sister and i since

fine and loving home oh you

that your antique store is fully paid
off
you and eddie are now its official
owners
my life's work has been my candy shop
i'm so proud of that old place
my wish is for it to evolve along a path
of positive growth
there are two people who i trust with
the responsibility
of its ownership so
i leave fifty percent of my candy shop
13:26
to my niece maggie and the other fifty
percent

before you leave

kickoff of course
well dex is about to beat us there oh
right cool motorcycle guy
you know you two do seem very buddy
buddy
yeah ever since he and his dad moved
into the maple farm a couple years ago
he's been like a son to her and so a
friend to us
what is he's fun and he's sweet annoying
a tad abrasive
14:45
i'm just surprised you two hadn't met
before maybe i just wasn't in town long
enough
i don't know he keeps pretty busy too i
just don't understand why she would
leave me half her business with him
you know like what am i supposed to do
with that no
she doesn't do anything by accident it's
true
her music box
oh there's got to be a key in here
i wish i could have spent more time at
home over these last few years i just
feel like i missed out on so much
15:20
hey auntie always knew you were busy
busy is no excuse i just missed her
yeah me too now come on
[Music]
[Applause]
16:06

[Applause]
[Music]
maggie hey zach yeah we
haven't been able to go through this
16:46

how are you i'm good how long you in
town for just a couple days
well we're happy to have you i'll just
about take these gift bags out to the
courtyard
happy to help cool
you're you're a guest here please i got
it i got it i used to hand these out
back in the good old days
the good old days it's just a little
heavier than they used to be there's uh
full bottles of maple syrup in there
syrup yeah you know what actually i want
you to be careful with it
you know what let it have it i can have
it
i'd like to handle stuff like that and
17:21
you can enjoy the perks of co-ownership
from a distance
oh i really prefer to be hands-on
guys you don't even know the business
like i do
that's why i want to buy you out what
smile for a kickoff photo
you don't live here so i figured you'd
want to buy out
you know we don't have the best history
with assumptions buddy and if you want
to know my thoughts i think that aunt
dee would want us to take her brand
nationwide
which just so happens to be my expertise
this is a local brand
17:52
this is built here hello welcome to the
30th annual
sweet autumn fest with fall treats and
activities all week long
please welcome this year's co-host
thanks jody hey everyone
i will be keeping it d spirit alive this
year with fall fling and the candy
making contest coming up this saturday
so
start thinking of your new candy flavors
now because who knows
yours might be on the menu
and uh while while i'm up here i'd like
18:29
to introduce you to
auntie's niece and co-owner and new
co-owner
maggie murphy thanks dex
thank you guys it's so good to see your
faces and it's so nice to be home
we have got a lot of big things planned
for aunties
and i cannot wait to explore expanding
her legacy
together
is fine just the way it is doesn't need
any changes
[Applause]
19:02
fifty percent well everyone loves your
maple bites
that's my point she always talked about
evolving and expanding
her legacy well that's what i do we
could have a bunch of aunties
who owns the other 50 well that's the
conundrum i mean
convincing this guy to go bigger is
gonna be tough he wanted me to sell
you do love a challenge hey you're not
giving up on ella are you
i will bring you a deal one way or
another
okay don't lose faith i will get on this
19:32
guy's good side
i think i know his type faith is where
you shine you know that i live in
reality
it's good to hear you laugh how you been
oh good
it's nice to be home yeah i bet
let's get this done okay bye
[Music]
slow down like molasses
or in this case like maple syrup
20:14
rediscover the sweet and slow art of
maple sugaring
[Applause]
now remember spring is tapping season so
we'll ensure that you guys are all
seasoned syrup making experts by then
sap
doesn't flow in the fall you might get a
bead or two but it only comes
in the springs you want to make sure
that you don't waste a drop
he's right ah
thank you uh so a tree can produce up to
20:50
a gallon of sap in the springtime can
anybody tell me how many gallons of sap
it takes to produce
one gallon of syrup
anybody uh
yes 40. 40. that's
that's right
this is a spile or a tap
you're gonna want to put the tap in the
hole
did you head back to minneapolis tonight
just like that oh i decided to stay
yeah spend the week at the festival with
you
and auntie and spirit hmm what's up
21:25
so yeah i have some work to do oh that's
great
so guys i've pre-drilled a bunch of
holes in the maple trees back there
why don't you tap in your spout attach
your bucket and then i'll come around
and check on you in a bit
oh uh hey jax turns out maggie's staying
the whole week
isn't that great let's uh
can't think of anything greater
so city girl you ever tap a tree
well sap usually flows best
on the side of the tree with the most
22:03
sun exposure which would be the
south side that you
drilled into the north side
well it's a it's a demonstration right
sap doesn't flow in the fall i just
that's what i just said
in my presentation right yeah
thanks
[Music]
have a little trouble good
real good it might be the spark plug
22:50
[Music]
and then you want to take your bucket
hang it right on the hook okay
can i talk to you for just a second i'm
so sorry
i think we may have gotten off on the
wrong foot i'd say
wrong feet clearly you meant a lot
to my auntie i did well and
since i'm gonna be staying the week i
thought that maybe you and i could spend
some time together
you could get to know your new partner
and maybe we could even come up with
some new candy flavors together
23:28
or separately
you could hear some of my ideas nothing
permanent
yeah yeah we can do that
great great
[Music]
are you distracted i'm actually winning
tonight
what's on your mind maggie murphy
but she seems sweet if by sweet you mean
24:12
presumptuous i've never seen her step
foot in the shop
and all of a sudden she thinks she knows
what dee would want well she is her
niece
she's practically her daughter
have you tried talking to her about uh
how you see things moving forward
i don't see the point look you got a lot
to offer you should try
sharing your thoughts with her and look
at it this way now that maggie's back
maybe you won't have to work as much
i mean between the farm and the candy
shop you barely had a day off all year
might even find some time for that plan
24:46
you've been putting off
it's your move it's your move
25:00
[Music]
dicks keep this close to your heart
as a symbol of what we've started
together it's up to you to unlock the
25:48
[Music]
future
[Music]
hey make sure you're not too loud
[Music]
morning you scared me
what are you guys doing here we wanted
to surprise you with it we're so happy
26:28
you're staying all week breakfast
but it is 7 30 in the morning what time
did you get
up six i slept in what are you doing
that brood
i hadn't really thought it through thank
you
you're gonna make me want to stay all
year it's all part of my master plan
mm-hmm we uh actually wanted to catch up
a little so uh
hulking's working out with jonathan you
know since you guys dated and all
what i've never heard the breakup story
26:58
there's not much of a story to tell
we just realized we were too similar but
as mature adults
and business partners we are friendly
and cooperative
well mostly mostly go on
oh so you get to ask for all the gossip
it's nothing
just some stress trying to figure out
how to move forward with this
investment proposal anyway you know
that's a single
what sounded like someone to change the
subject so why change the subject
come on we gotta go open the shop it's
27:32
day two of sweet autumn fest
no stay or you know what i won't be mad
if you want to sneak in later and make
me dinner
bye meg see you later
[Music]
um
[Music]
working at the shop with you brought me
such joy
28:10
relive those days with me and don't
forget to be a team player
good morning partner good morning
look what i found in the back it's my
name tag from high school
still fits it's a name tag
it's a joke that's a good one
so what does this mean well it means
that i am going to be working
here all week with you
that's great and i thought that maybe
you and zach could help me out fill in
28:50
the gaps you know
work together true partnership as auntie
would have wanted
you seem really confident about what
aunt dee would want
you seem pretty confident about what
auntie would want
i'm just gonna grab these two jars that
i definitely don't need
hey zach wouldn't it be cool to have a
new auntie's location
that would be cool of course we'd have
to look at
29:23
logistics and isn't it also cool zach
that auntie's is the town's little
secret that's also true right yeah yeah
but also
isn't it true that aunt dee always loved
when anyone anywhere
enjoyed one of her treats
i have to distribute these outside to
the vendors so i'm going to do that oh
let me help you
well that's good i got it i really
so you too good stupendous
look i'm gonna be here all week
29:59
why don't we just try and embrace this
work together
after you no okay yeah
andy always loves keeping the festival
and candy shop so close to her house
she spent a lot of time out here in her
last year she would sometimes do her
candy making out here as well
said she was outgrowing her kitchen well
you're in luck because i can help with
that
there you go thank you
you know she partnered up with our farm
started adding more flavors
like uh apple blackberries she even did
a sweet candy corn
30:37
and that is my point new ideas think
bigger
she also kept the classics caramel
chocolate
maple yeah maple bites the original
candy
started using my maple syrup in her
candies really after my first harvest
she was my biggest fan i started helping
her out or to shop
on my free time and really start to feel
like home

louis armstrong
okay i will be right back with your
drinks
whether we like it or not we have got to
figure out how to work together
because we are responsible for andy's
legacy
look dee left us both her shop
and to be honest i didn't expect it
but clearly she trusted me and i'd like
to keep things the way they are
and she trusted me as well and i think
35:41
we should grow things
[Music]
thank you thank you i'd like to tell you
a little bit about what i do
i bring investors to small businesses
small businesses that are
passionate about what they do
i am passionate about what i do
andy always inspired me to grow to
follow my passion to try and bring joy
everywhere i go and i think
36:13
you and i can bring joy to people all
over the country
maybe even the world you and i both know
how wonderful those candies are
why not share them with as many people
as possible
what do you say
do fish
[Music]
36:54
it's a beautiful spot but
fishing isn't the real deal here is it
might also be about getting to know the
real maggie
why don't we start with the real dex
because you are not giving me
anything you're getting to know me you
are getting to know me i am not getting
to know you okay let's just talk about
something else
that's what i mean
what do you want to know all right well
for starters
tell me about what auntie means to you
i could come to her with anything
37:33
she'd give me advice about work life
dating yeah
she could pretty much get me to open up
about anything you know one time she
brought me fishing out here
i forgot the bait so we used our lunch
i got nothing except the lecture about
how i always go after the wrong type of
what about you did she ever meet any of
your boyfriends
uh yeah i mean she mostly
disapproved of all of them i can't blame
38:10
her
i always went after the type of guy who
was way too into his work
but it made it easy to avoid talking
about the tough stuff you know
probably why my ex-boyfriend jonathan
wait
why am i talking about my dating no
one's forcing you to
but go ahead what you were telling me
about jonathan you're trying to get me
to open
up that's my tactic you're using tactics
on me now you're pivoting
just tell me about jonathan just tell me
about heather
oh
38:45
what do you know about heather i don't
know anything about heather and that's
my point i don't know anything
you are a half open book in a dimly lit
room
we were together for about a year
she was sweet we went our separate ways
why
when aunt d passed brought back memories
of my mom passing and i realized that
life is short and heather just
wasn't the right one mom and d would
have wanted me to be with the right
person and
39:26
as sweet as she was heather just wasn't
it
[Music]
any regrets only with the way that i did
it
[Music]
i knew it was the right thing yeah for
both of us
[Music]
it's just i couldn't tell her why
i kind of feel bad about that
well you can still talk to her
it's never too late
[Music]
40:07
i got one keep the line keep the line
tight yep wait a second i got one too
[Music]
hello everyone it's candy creation time
we've given you the tools now it's up to
you to combine them into something
special
so dig in and pick out any ingredients
40:38

the festival

last year excellent

guessing you two were really close
41:09
well we uh look at the farm after my
wife passed
two years back and dicks and i wanted to
change and boy we sure got it
d helped us settle in anything we needed
and we took care of her deed becomes
sort of a second mom to dex
so when she passed was hard on him
it's that why he couldn't go the funeral
yeah
i understand that he raised you and your
sister since you were kids
41:41
as if we were her own
don't give up on decks just yet he
hasn't always been this way
which way you haven't noticed
no i have of course you're not the first
person to say that
it's been a rough year for him what he
needs is a
he's a friend
uh can i let you in on a little secret
always today's um
today's a special day for him

syrup he wants to market dad
dad can i not be a proud father for one
second
look at this he designed this himself
this is great we should put in the shop
well steve's candy shop not dexes
43:59
okay all right either way why haven't
you done anything with this
it's a small grove it's just a hobby
you want to try some yes i do
so what'd you think of it that's really
good every maple syrup grove has
its own personality it's just how you
bring out the flavors
you should market it you um you really
should
i had a plan but you know
other things were more important
44:38
what if there were no obstacles
then what might be afraid it would fail
so my first venture when i was just
starting out
i fell in love with this company that
made baby slings
you know but for small dogs
precisely the reaction i would get
i helped pitch it to so many investors
no after no after no until my 14th pitch
45:11
my first yes and that became pub sling
pup sling yeah i've seen the commercials
for it
you have steak and puff sling a small
amount
but sometimes you have to start small to
go big
d used to say that
maybe we just need to start small
we or you us
you however anyway i should get going
hey hey um yeah thank you
why don't we create a flavor together
45:49

[Music]
every day brings new
[Music]
wide open
it's so it's the second year it's a good
47:59
turnout man you
are a busy bee it's really nice that you
uh
you have a little time for some football
yeah
it is is it time for the taffy yet
i believe you are being summoned you're
just in time for the taffy demonstration
like but but
before you run off just a just a tiny
request
and and you can't deny me because i'm
your partner now
i just want you to take a look at
something okay five orders
already and an inquiry from middlebury
48:30
about carrying your syrup at their
farmers market
you got five orders well it's not gonna
happen overnight
you mean there's already sales don't
make me say i told you so
don't do it because i would love to come
on wanna join us
the trick to producing the perfect maple
toffee is you have to get it to just the
right heat between 235 and 245 degrees
traditionally it was done over an open
fire just like this
49:06
does anyone know how maple syrup was
first discovered
yes people saw squirrels drinking it
from the trees
yes exactly a plus legend has it that
iroquois
witnessed squirrels drinking the sap
from the trees so they learned to tap
the trees and use the sap to cure their
meats
now vermont maple producers export their
syrup to over 50 countries worldwide
yes alyssa when do we get to try the
taffy
yeah when do we get to try the taffy
49:36
right now let's go
now this is when the real magic happens
when the syrup hits the ice
now wait 10 seconds and put your stick
at the end of the syrup and then
roll it up guys this is one of the
healthiest sweet treats you can have
right dad absolutely yeah all right kids
now go ahead and give it a taste
[Music]
what do you think scale of one to ten
you want to come over here and try
something yeah
thank you do you want one
50:12
all right oh yes please
go now okay put the stick all right
in the end just like that let it sit
there for one second
now you're gonna roll it up okay
nice technique partner back at your
[Music]
partner
[Music]
50:52
is there anything she can't do nope not
really
hey you want to sneak out of here what
are you thinking
well we have that new candy flavor we've
got to work on i'm gonna need a ride
cause jody dropped me off
well i see my ride how are you getting
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there
hop on
hold on tight
51:44
[Music]
i hope you didn't mind me taking the
scenic route oh
not at all it's so beautiful out here
yeah this is my happy place auntie used
to bring us camping here when we were
kids
yeah she told me
you know she showed me this place
now i come out here on my own sometimes
do some thinking it's a good place for
52:16
that
you know dee and i would have some great
conversations out here
now that surprises me how does that
surprise you
i don't know if you know this but uh
word around town is
you're a little bit of a closed book if
i'm a closed book
that makes you an epic choose your own
adventure novel
that's right
[Music]
52:55
makes me feel like i'm a kid again i
love this
this is always my favorite part of
camping yeah
i loved s'mores so much
one night i had a bunch of them in my
sleeping bag
and auntie always told us never leave
food
in the tent so we all go to sleep
and then we wake up in the middle of the
night
to a bear just sniffing around he wanted
53:26
the s'mores jody and i screamed at the
top of our lungs luckily we
scared him away it wasn't funny
it was really scary no i'm sorry it's
just that uh
dee told me this story she did
she did yeah
she said it was a raccoon
yeah yeah yeah raccoons can be scary in
the middle i don't know they're pretty
cute
no no you're sniffing around in your
sleeping bag i spent the rest of the
night in auntie's truck
54:08
nope
so miss choose your own adventure novel
what was that about nothing
nothing i have a terrible poker face
um there's this project i may have to
give up on
i thought you'd never give up well
that's the confusing part because
i do not give up
it just um just doesn't feel right
54:43
anymore
even as the words are coming out of my
mouth i just i feel like a
[Music]
failure
auntie always encouraged me to go out
into the world and
make something of myself and and make
her proud
and i feel like i did that you know
it's just i'm starting to realize that
oh how just unfulfilling that's been
i guess when you work so much it's
55:23
it's hard to see it
i have a tough time letting go as well
no
you
sometimes you have to let go
let go and freedom will flow
it's one of humpty's candy wrapper
philosophies
i have an idea
we have to come up with a new candy
flavor for the contest
why don't we also come up with our own
words of
wisdom to use you know to
56:09
to keep her tradition alive
i don't think i'd be too good at that oh
come on
just dig a little okay
i'll go first okay okay um
your future starts today not tomorrow
oh that's good yeah yeah that's
i like that your turn
when in doubt
[Music]

murphy
i'm dex her co-owner problem the maple
syrup guy
great you're the one i want to talk to
no offense maggie maggie was filling me
in on your situation
situation we should talk that's what
we're doing privately
01:03:56
okay but i think dex is going to want to
hear this trust me i know you don't want
to sell
but maggie and i have a team of
investors lined up that are just
poised ready to bring this operation
national operation
i never said operation we expand maple
candy production
internationally using exclusively your
syrup and then we side market the
surplus served to japan
japan yes they go crazy for vermont
maple syrup do you have any idea how big
the global market for maple syrup is
i have i have no idea but i'm sure
you're going to tell me it's 500 million
01:04:26
500 million dollars i had no idea it's a
lot of cereal
with your expertise and our investors we
could put an
auntie's in every major city auntie's
face plastered everywhere
aunt dee becomes everyone's aunt
did you help him put this together no i
i mean
no not exactly don't be modest she did
but it was with a different company this
is much better
listen i can explain i mean of course
01:04:55
there is one other option
well we could buy you out there's an
offer in there if that's the way you
want to go
jonathan i need some air
dex wait please
why do i get the feeling like this
didn't go well
supposed to be windy tonight they're
just gonna blow all over the place again
good give me another distraction
[Music]
01:05:48
tomorrow
[Music]
are you gonna be mad at me forever no of
course not
but you put this whole thing together
behind my back
i didn't think of it that way i thought
that
you'd be happy that i saved the deal for
both of us
you were only supposed to be gone for
two days i know i know
look my aunt dee gave him half of her
business
01:06:26
for a reason and it wasn't for him to
step away
she wouldn't want that i don't want that
i understand i need to go talk to him
well i'm staying at an airbnb by the
library
it's charming the cell service isn't
great so
i'll be wandering around looking for
higher ground
[Music]
01:06:59
talk soon thank you
[Music]
hey hey look i am sorry
that i made you feel like i went behind
your back in any way
that is not what happened when we got
aunt dee's i
honestly i truly believed that the best
way to honor her legacy was to make it
01:07:40
the next great candy company
and yes i went to jonathan with that
idea
but along the way i i started to want to
honor your dreams for the company too
and now i don't know what the
right thing to do is
i think i do
you're signing away your half
i just i didn't think things would get
so
complicated
so i'm taking the bio stepping away
01:08:25
[Music]
good luck i really mean that
[Music]
he's selling his half i've been trying
to figure out
what aunt d would want us to do with the
store and now i am more confused than
ever
i wanted to show you something
andy left me this letter
01:08:58
and there was something inside of it
that i thought she would want me to
share
it's us from the first festival ah
i don't believe it she left us a few
surprises
but what did the letter say
when someone you love becomes a memory
the memory becomes a treasure
share your treasures with those you love
what do you think she's telling you
[Music]
i thought i knew but now i don't
so that's it you decided you're selling
01:09:41
yeah
yeah if i sell my share i can devote
more time to the farm
you know help you with your workload no
no this is not about my workload i like
my workload
i thought you and maggie were working
this through yeah so did i
so what happened
i guess i'd let my guard down
and what does that mean i don't know dad
i mean
i thought i knew her i guess i don't
you know dee wanted us to carry on the
01:10:16
shop together but maggie had other plans
besides it is her family right why am i
going to step in the way of that
i just wish that she had been straight
with me did you tell her that
yeah yeah just in not so many words
what you you are a man
of not so many words
talk to her tell her how you're really
feeling
you might be giving up more than just
01:10:49
the story here
[Music]
dex keep this close to your heart as a
symbol of what we've started together
it's up to you to unlock the future
01:11:34
[Music]

someone special
to you be vulnerable and express your
true feelings
01:11:54

01:13:31
[Music]
recognize the sound of that engine
anywhere
what are you doing here i got your
letter
and you were right
it is the little things
it has the laughter and the memories
but it is also the big things
it's being home it's being with family
and auntie's house and her shop being
reminded of
everything and everyone that i love
01:14:18
[Music]
it's like i was a closed book
[Music]
until you
we can do anything that you want with
auntie's shop
i just don't want to lose you i don't
want to lose you either
you know i think it's pretty clear that
um anthony left us
her shop because she trusted us but um
she was also trying to
bring us together in her own special way
01:14:55
do you recognize this yeah that's that's
her music box
yes she loved this poem that's inscribed
in it
a wise old al lived in an oak the more
he saw the less he spoke the more he
spoke the more he heard
now isn't wise little bird
so i tried to open it but she didn't
leave me the key
wait a second
[Music]
he was attached to the owl
[Music]
i had it in my pocket before i left okay
so it fell off
01:15:32
it's got to be somewhere yeah but where
i don't know how we're ever gonna find
it out here
[Music]
i can't believe i lost it it's okay
no it's not auntie left me the key i
finally figured out what it's for and
i lose it look if you want to blame
anybody to blame me it was my fault it's
your fault
yes because if i would have just been an
adult
and had a conversation then you wouldn't
01:16:08
have run off into the woods and
lost your it's not your fault it's my
fault
you know what it doesn't matter it
doesn't we we
found what we were supposed to find she
wanted us
to find each other
that's all that matters
still she had a spare for everything
wait a second
she had the words to the owl poem framed
in our office
01:16:50
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
