>> you know what, i love the hospitality business as much as anyone on earth. what i don't love is a situation in which over the 30-year career that i have had, the disparity between what somebody can make in the dining room with the tipping system and what somebody can make in the kitchen has widened by about 200%. >> a lot more being made by the waiters than the cooks? >> yes. i love the fact that waiters make good money. the waiters when we eliminate tipping will make as much or more in 75% of the cases than they're making now. when you have a tip, i don't think the general public fully understands where the tip can go and where it's not allowed to go. for example, when you leave a tip at any restaurant, not only is the waiter generally sharing it with all other waiters, but they're not i aallowed to share it with anyone in the kitchen. >> why are they not allowed? >> that's how laws are written across the country. >> having to do with taxes or what? >> nothing to do with taxes. it's the gratuities are only allowed to be shared amongst the people who actually faced you during the meal. so that means that, on a really busy saturday night, when everybody is high-fiving a great job of taking care of you, the cooks are sweating a little bit more while the waiters are counting more cash. >> the person i want to be happy is the cook. >> you're so right about that. >> danny, people say it's too good to be true. does it mean we're going to pay in other ways, that now the prices of food will go up? >> well, the price of your meal is exactly what it is. so, for example, when you agreed many, many years ago that it's worth paying a little bit more for organic vegetables or locally grown vegetables or animals that were raised responsibly, it's put in the menu prices. right now it's going to be put in the menu prices not just what we pay the cooks, florists, reservationists and table cloths and what we pay our servers as well. that's our responsibility to do it. at the end of the day when you get your credit card bill a month later. that line when you come to one of our restaurants should look exactly as it would have if you had struggled in the dark to put on the tip. it's true that the menu price itself will look higher by about 21% but the total a the bottom will be the same. the benefit is that we'll get a chance, because we don't have to worry about who cannot get tips, to make it an equitable playing field. >> not worrying about people who don't give good tips. >> that's one of the most demoralizing things in the world if somebody stiffs the waiter for slow service and it might not have been the waiter's fault. >> this is on the front page of every major newspaper in the country. can you guarantee that it will only be a 20% increase in the menu price? or could you go as high as 35% as some analysts are suggesting? >> well, we are going to start it at 21% and try to make it work as best we can. i think it's important to understand that january 1 of next year minimum wage will go up everywhere. as soon as that happens, every restaurant will have to raise their prices. that doesn't require you to eliminate tipping but we said, if we're going to raise our prices anyway, why don't we use this opportunity to make the restaurant business a much more sustainable place. i have to add one more thing. we are facing, across the whole country, the biggest single labor shortage in talented cooking skills that we have ever seen. part of the reason is that, if you are a young kid and you want to go to cooking school with big, big bills, how do you tell your parents, what i really want to do is go work for $11 an hour, $10 an hour, $9 an hour and live in a big city like new york. so for the very sustainability of the business we think this is important. >> all right. >> really interesting. >> thank you, restaurant legend. you wear that well. >> thank you queen gayle. >> thanks, danny. to our conversation with tom hanks and steven spielberg about what it's like to work together. >> how does one stay to tom hanks, that was good, but could you do it over?

>> it's as easy as the film will let it be. in private ryan we had an easy collaboration under difficult circumstances. it was a tough, dangerous movie to make. >> get down! >> depends on really the genre that we're in. >> "saving private ryan" was the first time hanks and spielberg teamed up as actor and director. that was in 1998. 1980s. >> kids didn't go to the same school, but the car pool hour is universal somewhere between like 7:15 and -- >> 7:35. >> it will be driving -- he'll be driving past the front of my house and i'm playing catch with the kids waiting for the car pool. oh, steven is driving. he slowed down, rolled the window down. i'd like to talk but i have to get the kids to school! he would be on his way. >> we've been neighbors and friends for such a long time, before we started professionally working together. >> steven, how does one say to tom hanks, that was good, but could you do it over? a little more energy. >> i say -- in my mantra is saying, that was great. that was brilliant. once more! once more. >> comes up and will say things like, oh, do something different. >> yeah. >> do something different. >> it works. i remember saying a long time ago, the making of an "indiana jones" movie where harrison is on the tank and that kind of stuff. it shows this thing. they're setting up the shot. i remember harrison ford was saying he was doing something with his hand. i said, steven, how about this in the foreground? steven was like, i love it. keep that in. i'm like, you get to do that? >> because it's -- who knew. it's a weird -- people can make all the assumptions, but the fact of the matter is a movie is like a living, breathing thing. it just keeps evolving. we don't let the cement dry and then make the entire movie. i don't like the cement to dry until theyave to yank the film out of my hands and put it in movie theaters. it's always changing and evolving. >> 40th anniversary of jaws"jaws." >> 40th anniversary. >> '75 it came out. >> steven, you should know that. >> i don't pay attention to those things. i guess i'll pay attention on the 50th anniversary. >> 40 is big for a movie that people still want to do, da-da, da-da. they know what that is. >> so you were told then, you know, listen, you'll never make another movie with that kind of commercial success. you should stop now. is that true? >> what they said was in the middle of shooting "jaws," you'll never make another movie. it was so far over budget and schedule. >> do you remember the budget? >> about $3.2 million. i think we went to $10 million or $11 million. in 1987 it's a big overage. i was shocked that we finished the movie. it didn't sink in for a couple years what "jaws" had become in the country. the only experience i remember having where i thought we were a popular movie. i was at the 31 flavors trying to get ice cream in a long line. the only time it impacted me was that people were talking about it in line. that's when i realized it. >> piedmont theater, in piedmont, california, the day before the 4th of july. i remember because the day before that, july 3rd, 1975, murray hamilton told the mayor. you can't close the beaches. tomorrow is the fourth of july. >> for christ sake. tomorrow is the 4th of july. >> i said, guys, tomorrow is the 4th of july. it was a big moment for all of us. that was the first movie i stood in line for. >> hanks has starred in four spielberg films. he says they are special opportunities for him still. he loves to share that experience with his fellow actors. >> because i had done this before, the other guys in the movie came up and said, what can we expect? i said, the best thing that can happen on the set is where steven disappears, you don't know where he is and then you see him out of the corner of your eye somewhere on the periphery of the set with a finder up to his eye and he's looking around. that means he's looking for something that's going to be solid gold and you hope you're in it somewhere. >> that's so great. >> great, great. great. >> i shared a desk with the man who presented jaws. >> you feel the chemistry, the admiration, the love, respect between the two of them. it's good to see. opens friday.
