Let's look together.
What are you trying to do to me? It's his 40th anniversary, Charlie.
He said he wants the best.
Why not give it to him? Because there are 60 people in his party, and the salmon takes us It takes us Charlie? It takes us 6 minutes a plate.
Oh.
I never thought of that.
That's why I'm the manager, jule.
I've been here for 3 years.
You've been here for Charlie Are you ok? Claud, it's nothing to panic about, ok? It just means my treatments are working.
What it means is you're getting radiation poisoning.
Well, technically, yeah, but I'm just saying that It's normal.
Great.
Yeah, that's great.
You're, like, blowing chunks at work, but don't worry about it? Claudia, come on.
It was the smell, wasn't it? It was the smell of all that cooking.
Pretty much.
God, what does that mean for the restaurant? Can you go back there? I don't think I can go anywhere near that place as long as I'm feeling like this.
Well, what are we gonna do? Is there somebody that can do it for you? Can somebody sub for you? Well, I can i can do it, I guess.
I haven't been there long, I know, but I pretty much know what's going on.
No.
That's not gonna work, jule.
Why not? Why can't she? 'Cause I can't take care of stuff here.
I mean, guys, take a look at me.
When I'm feeling like this, which is more every day, I can't cook, I can't eat, I can barely move.
How am I supposed to take care of claud and Owen? I can take care of myself.
So, what can we do? The only way it's gonna work Julia, you're gonna have to stay home.
You're the only one with a driver's license, and you live here anyway, so But, Charlie, I'll do whatever you need.
It's just that With the motorcycle shop, we still have a lot of bills to pay and Fine.
Keep waiting tables.
I just i really need you here Which leaves you to manage the restaurant, bay.
I know you've filled in for me before, but Can you do that? 'Cause I know you got a million things going on right now, so if you can't swing it No No.
I can do it.
No problem.
Well, what about me? I mean, what can I do? Just Hang in there, claud, ok? Everybody wants to live like they wanna live and everybody wants to love Like they wanna love everybody wants to be closer to free-ee-ee-ee closer to free Mm-mm-mmm! Yummy-yummy-yum! Come on, Owen.

Corn flakes? Bacon? Melon balls? Beef jerky? Pork rinds? Oatmeal? Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe what? Maybe Oatmeal? Ok.
Ok, oatmeal.
Oatmeal, oatmeal, oatmeal Owen, we don't have any oatmeal.
Why does it have to be oatmeal, huh? What's so special about oatmeal? Is it 'cause it's sweet? 'Cause it's mushy? 'Cause it's white? Uh-huh.
What? That's it, 'cause it's white? Owen Why? Excuse me.
Now he calls us? Now he tells us this, when we're already totally booked, and and And it's your first day? He said it hit him really fast.
He woke up from a nap, and bang, he had these chills and this fever.
See, that's another thing.
He can't come to work with a fever? My brother came to work with cancer.
Bailey, did you hear? We checked in back No John dory.
Another one? You gotta be kidding me.
How am I supposed to run this place without waiters? John dory is a fish.
Oh.
It is? Well, how am I supposed to run this place without fish? Look, you told me 10 minutes.
It's been over 30.
I know, sir, and I'm sorry.
It's just that there are other parties ahead of you on the list.
We're not just here for the ambiance, you know.
My family is hungry.
We are 4 hungry people you lied to.
Karl? Um, Karl What do we do when the list says? Uh, table 11.
Right this way.
Thank you.
Nice Very nice.
So that's how this works? That guy yells, so I wait longer? Some kid with your ick assignment? Ec.
Economics.
I need that.
Excuse me, please.
Ok, man, hey.
Shoot.
What chapters? Plus problem sets? Ok, so now, I'm yelling! Huh? Where's my table? Yelling worked for him! Yeah Do you know how much money I've spent in this restaurant? No, I got it.
Where's my table! Do you have a second? If we're lucky.
Which do you wanna hear about first The branch from our tree that broke the swensens' window, the squirrel that found some new way into the attic, or Owen's eating disorder? How about none of the above? Charlie, come on.
I need your help here.
Look, it's not that complicated, jule.
Call the insurance company, find out who has to pay for the window.
For the attic thing, try to get a free inspection from an exterminator, and if they find the hole, we'll block it up ourselves and try to save some money.
And what about Owen? Should I call a doctor or something? Which color food is it now? What, he's done this before? Yeah.
When Bailey went to college last year, he wouldn't eat anything that wasn't green.
It means he's a little freaked by what's going on.
Well, this year, it's white.
Cook white food.
On this poultry thing, do I have to throw out every piece, including the ones that weren't recalled? All of it, and steam the containers it was kept in.
Ok.
Oh, and another thing.
I get a call from this Bancroft guy.
He wants us to throw in parking for free for all of his guests.
Fine.
Do it.
Yeah, but, Charlie, this guy is a major hemorrhoid.
Explain to me why we have to put up with all of his abuse.
Forget the anniversary gig.
If we add up all the meals we feed to him And his family and friends It's like a fifth of our business.
Ok.
Is there anything else? I gotta get some rest here.
Um Well Just this menu thing, real quick.
It's no big deal, but with all the new specials every day, a lot of our waiters get mixed up sometimes.
So, I was thinking What if we came up with some kind of system You know what, Bailey? Whatever.
However you wanna handle it.
Yeah, but don't you? Have you ever thought about I don't wanna think about it right now, ok? Just whatever it is, you know what you're doing.
Just do it.
Ok.
Don't write that.
It's total bull.
But it says so in the book.
The books lie.
Don't you know? No, really.
I saw this thing on pbs, and it said how the army gave out blankets with diseases on them and killed thousands and thousands of sioux.
The U.
S.
army.
Thanks.
What's that, your dinner? Kinda.
Well, here, at least put some marmalade on there.
Thanks for taking care of me, Reed.
What choice do I have? Without you, I'd be another dupe, spreading lies with my 12th-grade papers.
Ha ha ha! This is fun You know, studying and whatever.
As much fun as studying can be.
It's fun for me.
I mean, with everything that's going on right now, you're really my friend.
Well, yeah.
Of course.
And I really like you.
I mean I do.
To tell you the truth I think it's more than that.
I think I love you.
Reed? Did you hear what I said? Yeah, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
So, is it fair to say that sitting bull trusted Grant? Or is that a big lie, too? No.
You can say that.
I mean, for a while there, it was true.
Ow.
Uhh! Julia! Bailey! What are you doing here? What are you doing here? I needed the name for the chimney guy.
It's 7:00 in the morning.
There's a problem with the flue at the restaurant.
I gotta get somebody there before the lunch shift.
Have you seen a prescription anywhere? What for? We used all of Charlie's anti-nausea stuff.
I said I'd pick some up for him.
Geez, when's the last time somebody did laundry around this place? I asked Claudia to do a load last night, but she said she had a study date or something.
Do you think if it's a refill, they'll have it in the computer? Think he'd have it under "f" for fireplace or "c" for chimney? For crying out loud.
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry.
We didn't mean to wake you up.
Go back to sleep.
Yeah.
We'll get outta your hair.
The prescription's under the lunch box magnet on the refrigerator, and the chimney guy's name's under "o" Orson chimney repair.
Orson Ok.
I'm right on top of it, man.
And you'll have your prescription right after I drop Owen off.
Hey, you want me to stop at the video store, pick you something up? No, thanks, Julia.
I picked up a copy of the new green day cd for you, if you wanna take a listen to it.
That's ok, bay.
If you're up for a ride, Griffin's going out to piedmont to pick up a part this afternoon.
I've got my treatment.
Well, maybe after that.
After that, I plan on getting the sleep that I'm not getting right now, thank you very much.
God, what is that smell? The bathroom's grotie.
I haven't had a chance to clean it yet, but right after I come back from the drug store.
Claudia: Popcorn's ready! He's eating popcorn? For breakfast? Hey, it's white.
Anytime you wanna leave, man.
Hey.
Listen, uh Do you think Could we talk? Sure.
Sure.
I've been I've been wanting to talk to somebody all day.
It's like it's my family, you know? It's really bad over there right now.
Really? It's like It's like you can't get away from the cancer, you know? The kitchen's full of food he can't eat.
The living room's where he sits down and watches TV all day.
The bathroom's where he Well, you know.
Man.
That's why, I mean Homework, dental work I'd rather be doing anything with you than be at home right now.
You're like the one thing I have that feels good right now.
I'm sorry.
What were you saying before? What? Oh Nothing.
Hey, Charlie.
Sarah.
Hey, listen, I don't mean to bother you If you're looking for Julia, she's out running errands.
No.
Um, see, I have to do this project for my theater production class.
I have to build a scale model of a proscenium.
Bailey said you have this drafting table, and I just thought if I could find it You know, i I don't need this.
I really don't need this.
I mean, between Bailey and Julia bugging me with every tiny little problem, and Claudia stinking up the place with her microwave popcorn And now, he's sending you over here to entertain me or something? Because I can actually drag myself over to the bookshelf if I'm bored.
I don't need anyone sending you over here with some lame story about a design project! Ok? Uh, I was just wondering where your drafting table was.
That's all.
Excuse me, sir Yes? I'm sure there's a very good reason for this, but aren't those tables empty over there? Yes, they are, but that's because we're short-staffed at the moment I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
What is the matter with you? You are 40 minutes late.
I had to wait half an hour for Charlie's prescription Yeah? You missed the meeting I called, so now you won't know any of the new codes.
Look, I'm really sorry, ok? I'll stay late, and I'll do settings Why is mercy on my station? Call me crazy, but I thought table one ought to have a little service.
Well, you can take her off now.
She's been on that table almost an hour.
It's hers now what was I supposed to do, leave Owen at daycare all night and not buy toilet paper when we're out? No, but you could've planned a little better so you could've been here on time.
I'm trying to make money to get Griffin and I out of hawk.
And in case you forgot, the only reason you get to run this place is because I'm taking care of everything at that house.
Ok Ok.
Mercy, I gotta cut her some slack on this, so if you wouldn't mind Fine.
Great.
Thanks a lot.
Wait, mercy, please.
No fair.
You can't hide behind those robotron thingies.
Go ahead.
Take your best shot, salinger.
Ha ha! Take that.
Ugh.
I cut you in half.
Wow, are those your intestines? I am very, very dead.
Oh, that was great.
Let's play again.
Maybe later.
My thumbs are toast.
So, what's up at home? Are things any better? You know what? Could we not? I mean, it's really nice of you to ask and everything, but let's not talk about that tonight.
Sure.
No problem.
I got an idea.
Screw my thumbs.
Let's play another game.
Yes.
This is salinger's, calling to confirm your 8:00 reservation for tonight.
You're not? Well, I'm glad I called, too.
Jeff, those go in the fridge.
Well, we hope to see you soon.
Ok, thanks.
Ok, shrimp salad for the lady I didn't order shrimp.
Oh, you didn't? Are you sure? I think I'd remember if I ordered something I'm allergic to.
You're allergic to shrimp? God, me, too.
I puff up like a beach ball.
Uh, that's my shrimp.
I've been waiting a half an hour for it.
Oh I'm sorry.
I'll get this straightened out right away.
Julia, why aren't you using the new system? You're getting half your orders wrong.
I didn't get a chance to learn it, ok? I made it very simple for you.
I wrote all the codes out on the back of your pad.
Look, all the other waiters say that it helps them.
People are still getting their food, ok? Yeah, at all different times and prices.
I've been reading your checks.
So, if you would just use the codes What is with you and these stupid damn codes? God, you know, this is still Charlie's place.
You're just filling in.
And you don't have to change stuff around just to prove you know what you're doing, and if you can't run it like he can, nobody cares, so just leave it alone! I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to you.
Salinger? Are you passed out? Hey You totally gone? You sure you don't wanna go home? Oh Hey You're home.
Hallelujah.
My day is over.
Hey, why don't you take this side? It's already warm.
I'm too warm already.
I just did a day's worth of dishes.
Oh, well, want me to open a window? Or maybe you should take some of these clothes off.
Or how about I take them off for you? What for, so we can have sex? Griffin, god Ok, never mind.
Look, I'm sorry.
I just don't feel very sexy right now.
All right.
It's ok.
No problem.
I know it has to be done, but all day long, I'm taking care of Charlie and Claudia and Owen, and all night long, I'm slaving for some lousy tippers.
You know, no one ever asks me what I want.
You know, everything I do has nothing to do with me.
I don't know, maybe that crap works for cinderella, but for me, I just want to crawl into bed and never wake up.
Oh, hello.
Good morning.
Morning.
How'd you sleep last night? A little.
You? I slept great, if you wanna know.
Weren't you wearing that yesterday? Yeah.
So? Where have you been? Why were you out at 7:00 in the Where did you sleep last night? Did you I slept over at Reed's.
You what? Claudia Ok, fine.
If you want to yell at me, just Just just go ahead.
I've got to get to my treatment.
That's all you have to say about this? Look, it was a stupid move, ok, claud, and you shouldn't have done that.
D-don't you even want to know if we slept in separate beds? Ok, I broke it down into categories Electrical and plumbing, emergencies and not-so emergencies.
I don't even have time to look at this right now, Sarah.
Look, I understand that, Bailey.
I know that you're buried right now, but Don't get that.
It's just gonna be another crisis.
Ok.
Yesterday when the cable went out, they were chanting your name In a not-good way.
Answering machine: Bailey, it's Julia.
Pick up.
Pick it up.
Hey.
I just called the restaurant for my schedule.
Look, I was gonna call you.
You took me off the Bancroft tables.
I mean, you actually did that? Those tables are worth more to us than any other tables all year.
Do you really think that I'm gonna put my newest waitress on them just because she's my sister? Bailey, all you have been doing is jerking me around from table to table.
I'm trying to run the restaurant, Julia.
Really? Oh, really? Well, we'll see what Charlie says about that.
Julia Hello? Are you still going by the house before school? Yeah.
Why? I'm coming with you.
How'd it go? How do you feel? Not great.
Look, Charlie, I hate to bug you about this after your treatment, but Can we please do this later? Bailey took me off the Bancroft tables.
He just he rearranged the entire shift at the very last second, like, totally arbitrarily and just to spite me.
Bailey: Charlie! Where are you?! In here, Bailey.
Come on back.
I'll throw up on both of you.
Ok, whatever she told you, you gotta hear my side of it first.
Good, I'd like to hear it, too.
You know what? I'm gonna Whatever Downstairs.
Look, you know how anal this Bancroft guy is, right? It's just serving plates, and the menu is preset.
Guys, please.
Yeah, well, you found plenty of ways to screw up last night.
That is so unfair.
I made like 2 mistakes.
Will you just You know what? You still have a 4-table station, so I don't know what your problem is.
That makes only half the amount, Bailey.
Shut up! Will you both just shut up?! Why are you dragging me into this now? I don't want to have to deal with this stuff.
I feel like crap, and I'm exhausted.
I know.
I know that, Charlie, and if you would just back me up on this one thing No.
No.
Work it out yourselves, both of you.
Just grow up and do your jobs.
I'm trying to do my job, but she won't listen.
You're the manager, Bailey.
You want to do something, do it.
And you, you should stop worrying about what tables you're getting and start worrying about why your sister didn't stay here last night.
What? She didn't She spent the night at Reed's.
Did you even know that? Oh, god, Charlie.
I did i didn't Just save it, ok? I don't wanna hear it.
I don't wanna hear another thing.
Oh, you already You changed it all around.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I'm sorry.
I just, um I came down here, and I saw what you were doing, and I kind of had a few ideas.
Charlie, you changed the whole design.
I know.
But see It kind of wasn't working, Sarah.
It what? I mean, as a model, yeah, but if you actually tried to build the thing with all those those unbraced load-bearing walls, you'd you'd bury your audience under rubble.
Oh.
Well, thanks.
But I can change it back if you want.
No.
No, don't do that.
Wouldn't want to kill anyone.
So is that why you moved the stage back here, I mean, to make it safer? No.
Actually I did that for sightlines.
See, if you look at it from here Oh.
So if you widen the wings Exactly.
It makes the stage feel deeper than it is.
Claud, could you can we talk for a second? Look, I'm supposed to be keeping things under control around here right now, you know, and, uh With all the different stuff going on, I sort of can't.
I'm sort of desperate.
Yeah? I need your help, claud.
Like, for starters, I need you not to sleep over at a boy's house without telling someone first.
Who am I supposed to tell? You're never around, and Charlie doesn't want to be bothered.
Well, I'm here now.
Well, for starters, I'm having coffee with Reed tonight.
Tonight? Tonight? Well, then who's gonna look after Owen? How am I supposed to know? Claudia, would you cut it out? I just finished telling you I'm not trying to make trouble here, Julia.
I'm not, but But I happen to have a boyfriend, and and we have a date.
If you wanted someone to watch Owen, y-you should have said something sooner.
I just i can't help you right now.
Salinger.
Yes, sir? I hope this fish knife doesn't mean that you've forgotten our second course.
No, sir.
That silver will come with the meal.
You haven't tried the veal? You're serving food you never tried? It's a daily special, ok, and I'm new here.
So does anyone know what they want? And the Pinot you're serving, it's cuvee Isabelle, not the sanford? Yes, sir.
Charlie made that very clear.
Sir, I'm just This is a very busy night tonight, and I have other tables.
Oh.
Well, don't let us get in your way.
No, I didn't mean that.
Because we don't have to stay.
The chicken will be sauteed in olive oil, not butter? That's I'll be right back.
Ok, would you like to know how the veal is? Would you like me to go back there and taste it for you now? Yes, I think I would.
Have you checked in the fridge? Yes.
Have you checked in the office? Uh-huh.
Have you checked in the truck? In the basement? In the laundry? Have you checked in the trash? We only have enough for 5 more desserts.
That can't be.
It can't be.
And then no more bananas, no more foster.
But we were doing so well.
We were almost home free.
Just tell him the truth.
Just just tell him to pick whatever else he wants.
Have you even met this guy? Nothing is what he wants.
Nothing makes him happy.
Nothing is what he Hey! You, with the bananas, freeze! Mr.
Bancroft, can I speak to you for just a moment? Sorry to bother you during dinner, sir, but I wanted to talk to you for a moment about dessert.
Yes.
You ordered the bananas foster, and you know what? That's a great dessert.
It's one of our best.
Yes.
However, that's what everyone orders.
Ah, just a second.
What are those? Perfect.
Oh, those.
Those are cherimoyas flown in fresh from Guadalajara.
I've never heard of them before.
Well, they're pretty rare.
If you'd like to try them, i i I might have enough for you and your party.
Unless you want to take the safe route back to the bananas.
We'll have the foreign fruit.
Yes, sir.
Julia: What is this, a joke? Diner: Nope, not at all.
This is supposed to be my tip? It's what you deserve.
For serving jerks like you, I deserve a trip to Fiji.
I deserve a nobel peace prize.
I deserve Hey, hey, hey.
What's going on here? They gave me 5 bucks in change on a $100 check.
Ok.
Do you think maybe we could settle this without yelling? You want it settled? Here.
Great work tonight.
Good work.
Thanks.
Great night.
Thank you.
Napping on the job, are we? Mr.
Bancroft, I didn't see you come in.
Uh, what can I do for you? Anything you want.
Let me give you a tip, salinger.
Lose the bowing and scraping, all right? Look, uh, I'll admit it.
I was a little nervous when I heard that there was a change of management, but you did all right.
Anyway, before those leeches raise my bar tab any higher, for you and the staff.
Sir Thank you, sir.
Brace yourselves for next year.
Wow.
Is that 500 bucks? You gonna put it in the pool? Yeah, course I am.
So, you must be happy, huh? You actually pulled it off.
Yeah.
You're fired, jule.
What? You're kidding, right? No, I'm not.
Look, I hate to say this, but you're not very good at this.
You're forgetful.
You're rude.
You're impatient.
What, those guys with the tip? They were jerks.
You don't want people like that around here.
I did us a favor.
It's not just them, Julia.
Ok, so I make a few mistakes.
Give me a chance to learn.
You don't want to learn.
Face it, Julia.
You you hate this job.
People know that.
Customers know that.
You know what? Don't look so smug, ok? I mean, just because you're good at this job, that doesn't mean Bailey, this is different for me, ok? 'Cause if i I hate it here or not, if I'm good at it or not, it doesn't matter.
I have to be here.
I have to do this, Bailey.
Well, please don't take too long putting that giant tip in the pool, because whatever small fraction of it is mine, I need it.
Did you tell him everything that you been going through with Owen, huh, and all this Charlie stuff and the nightmare tree-branch insurance thing? He knows all of that, Griffin.
And he fired you anyway? Uh-huh.
How can he do that? I mean, you're cooking and cleaning for the whole damn house, and you're you're cleaning up your brother's vomit.
Griffin, stop it, ok? You're depressing me here.
It's, uh, I can't believe it.
Yeah.
Well, what difference does it make? It's done.
No, no, no.
No, it's not.
No, he can give you your job back.
What for? I don't want it.
You don't? What? But i i thought What is the point? Bailey was right.
I hated that job.
And, I mean, yeah, the rest of what I do every day is just as bad, but at least it's one less thing to hate.
No.
Tell them sorry's not good enough.
Every day we're missing linens, and it's not like we don't have cheaper options.
Right.
Yeah.
I'll get into it later.
Ok.
Here we are.
This looks great.
Ok, I'm sorry.
Where were we? Uh, you were telling me what happened when the sous-chef tried to quit.
I was? Enough about that stupid restaurant.
Tell me about you and nat.
I feel like I haven't seen you guys for days.
Nat's great.
I had some interviews.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I mean, now finish your story.
Ok.
Ok.
It wasn't any big deal, really, but he threatened to walk out, so I picked up the phone and I dialed 911.
You called the cops? Ambulance.
I told them they were either going to be picking up Philip or me, so he decided to stay and finish the chicken.
Man, Bailey, you have the moves.
I mean, you are a total operator.
No, I'm not.
I almost got killed.
You should see that guy with a fillet knife.
Well, you said that it was the highest grossing night ever.
Well That's true.
Charlie must be so relieved.
I don't know.
I haven't really talked to him.
Well, it's just, I mean, he can finally relax now.
You can swing it without him, you know? Yeah.
I guess so.
Charlie, what are you doing? I thought we were done.
We are.
We are.
I just, uh Take a look.
I know we didn't talk about this, and there's no structural need for it whatsoever, but, uh, all my life I've always wanted to build a flying balcony, so Heh heh.
You must get pretty bored around here sometimes, huh? Actually I remember this one project in, uh, in design school, and my class divvied up this this office complex, and I pulled the The parking structure.
But it was great, I mean, visualizing all those levels and ramps.
I swear I was gonna revolutionize the art of parking-space distribution.
Heh heh.
Then, uh Joe called with some personal crisis at the restaurant And that was it for me and that class.
Wow.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Hi.
Hi.
Where were you last night? I mean, I went to the coffee house, but you never came.
Oh.
I was out with some friends.
But I thought we had plans.
You did? 'Cause I thought we said maybe we would or maybe we wouldn't.
Well, then why didn't you call me? I don't know.
Well, it's it's not like I think i Think you owed it to me or anything.
But it would have been nice, you know, to get a call from your boyfriend.
I'm not your boyfriend here, ok? I'm sorry? Look, I feel really bad about your brother and everything, and I want to help you out with, like, whatever you need, but we're not together.
Look, I gotta get to gym class, ok? I'll see you later.
Here you go.
I was reading this article in this magazine about this lake in winnipeg.
It's awesome camping and some of the best bass fishing in all of Canada.
For springtime, when you're feeling better.
Thanks.
And you gotta check out the piece on the new pheromone lures in that one.
That's it? No restaurant stuff? I thought you didn't want to talk about that junk.
Are you kidding me? How'd the, uh, Bancroft thing go? God.
Don't ask.
It was a total bloodbath.
Heh.
Come on, Bailey.
No, I'm serious.
That restaurant needs you, Charlie.
Everyone there is like "How can we radiate him faster? Can we, like, pop him in the microwave or something?" Bailey, uh I got a call from Bancroft this morning.
He wanted to book us for next year.
Well, of course he did.
That's because I promised the guy up and down that you'd be back by then.
Bay, it's ok.
I'm glad it's going well.
All I'm saying is we'll be a lot better off when you're back.
But that may not be for a while.
And until I am, that place is yours if you want it.
And if you want it, that's great.
That'd be really great.
Claudia: Reed.
Reed.
Hey, can we talk for a second? Reed, can can we just talk for a minute? Reed, what's the matter? Why are you running away from me? Reed, please don't walk away from me! Look, I gotta be someplace, ok? You can't just do all that, like, be my friend and then just walk away.
You can't! Would you just stop, Claudia, please? I don't understand, I mean, what's the problem? What did I do? Look, it it's just too intense, ok? But, Reed, I need you.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
Ok, the party's not here yet, but get a bruschetta ready.
Karl says they always order at least one, ok? Uh, table 6 is ready to clear, and 8 needs some more water.
How is everything here, folks? Did you get that teriyaki dressing? Great.
Let me know if you need anything else, ok? So was I right about the meat-loaf special, or was I right? Amazing.
Oh, yeah.
Whoop.
Have a new one on me.
Owen, it's white.
I swear it's white.
It even says on the package here.
"The other white meat.
" See? It is brown.
No, that's only where I burnt it.
Claud, do you want something to eat? I made this for you guys.
I'm not hungry.
Are you sure? Claudia? Claud, are you Look, at least eat the beans.
I turned that store upside down to find white ones.
