NATI: "that's respectable... anything specific?"

HOWIE: "don't make fun of me, but I've always wanted a family bakery, just the idea of like working with the people you love, making it not feel like a job. I also just want to make sure my family is taken care of, i know how it feels to not have much growing up."
