Kinky Boots: Difference between revisions

 

Unfortunately, industry is putting the old fashioned factory under and his dad's old friends, whom Charlie has known since childhood, out of work. Charlie doesn't really want to keep the factory; nor does he exactly feel right letting the factory fail, but old wing tips aren't going to cut it.

 

The only way for the factory to have a shot at this niche market is to make a splash at the Milan Shoe Expo. Charlie has to persuade the conservative people of his factory to get on board with this rather offbeat plan and raise enough money to get them to Milan, all while struggling with running the factory, dealing with his marriage, and trying to cope with the cognitive dissonance working with Lola is causing him.

 

* [[Accidental Public Confession]]: Lauren has been falling in love with Charlie but [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|makes nice with his fiancee anyway]], runs into said fiancee and mentions with sincere appreciation that he put their house up for mortgage in order to save the factory. Nicola didn't know, and is - quite reasonably - less than pleased that he kept it from her. Lauren is mortified; she had no idea Charlie hadn't discussed it with Nicola first.

** There's also the fight that ensues after that scene. Nicola asks Charlie for a reason he mortgaged the house. He thinks the entire factory is empty, but one employee remains, who overhears Charlie tell Nicola in a tearful shout that he's known these people since childhood, that laying off the first 15 of them were the worst 15 times of his life, and that he doesn't actually enjoy making people redundant...and that if she can't see why he risked so much to save the factory, then she will never get him. Shortly thereafter, every employee is back on the job working at top speed and top skill.
