Here’s a short story inspired by 2 Broke Girls with a Vietnamese subtitle (Vietsub) twist for Season 3. The Phở Gambit
(They sneak a photo of Han’s phone. Subtitles appear in Vietnamese: "Max và Caroline lên kế hoạch ăn cắp công thức phở." )
No, no. You misunderstand. I want YOU to cook phở for me. I pay you $8 an hour plus all the leftover noodles you can fit in your bra.
Or… we just steal his recipe, sell it ourselves, and become phở-nominal.
(Han approaches, holding up his phone.)
That’s illegal. And also brilliant. Let’s do it.
The diner, late afternoon. MAX (wiping down the counter) and CAROLINE (calculating on a napkin) are working. HAN (their boss) is watching Vietnamese cooking videos on his phone.
