SStevie
Okay. Um... Listen. Everyone's asking what this... What is the seven fishes or why do we do it?
SStevie
And I think I know what my definition is. Uh, as soon as I think of it. It's a chance to... be together and to take care of each other. And to eat together. And there's seven fishes, which means you have to make seven entirely different dishes. Seven entirely different ways. And that takes a lot of time. And... I think spending that time and using that time on the people that we love is how we show them that we love them. And maybe we eat too much... and we definitely drink too much and we say too much without listening. But... tonight we... we're gonna eat seven fishes... which is absurd. Uh... But we have to take extra time to do it and we have to chew more and we have to listen more. And, uh, we only get to do this tonight one time. So... I, by the way, love it. I love being here. Thank you for having me every year at this. I look... I very much look forward to this. And I love you. I'm very in love with Michelle. And I'm not gay like you guys asked a lot. But I was thinking about what... what you said about bears and how they're aggressive. They're aggressive, but they're kind. They're sensitive. You guys have been so kind to me. You let me hang out with you every holiday. I don't have a family like this and... I'm really grateful that, um, you make space for me at this table and you make time for me on the holidays. May God bless us and keep us safe in the New Year. And please give Michael the strength not to throw that fork. Amen.
MBMichael Berzatto
I threw the fork, Lee. See what I did, I threw the fork!
Cousin, you're scaring the normals.
MBMichael Berzatto
This is fine, this is nothing. This is... it's nothing.
SStevie
Hey Mikey, can you hear me right now?
MBMichael Berzatto
Not right now, Stevie.
MBMichael Berzatto
Here look, here's the thing: you see, I can throw forks, 'cause this is our father's house. My father's house.
CMCousin Michelle
We have liftoff.
LUncle Lee
Okay, you got everyone's attention, so go ahead, tell us a story we've all heard a million times already.
MBMichael Berzatto
That's good, Lee.
LUncle Lee
Yeah, tell a story about how you're living with your mom, and you're borrowing money off of her and any other sucker who'll listen to your bullshit.
LUncle Lee
You're one of the suckers, Jimmy! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I told him! I told him not to listen to you, I told him not to help. I told him to tell you to go scratch!
Thanks a whole fucking lot, buddy. You come back next year, okay? Motherfuck.
MBMichael Berzatto
Shh, shh. Unc, it's fine.
LUncle Lee
Yeah, it's fine. It's just totally fine. It's fine. It's fine, because this guy's nothing, and he's nobody, and I know you're scared and you're afraid, aren't you, Michael? And Michael, I don't know what the fuck you're on, but whatever it is, if you can hear me through the fog, throw another fork at me, you're gonna get fuckin' rocked!
DBDonna Berzatto
Oh my God. Oh, Natalie... Rose Berzatto... do you know how much I fucking hate when you ask me that? Do you know how much I fucking hate... that you ask me that. Do you... do you ask the rest of these people if they're okay?
DBDonna Berzatto
Uh... do I not look okay, Natalie?
CMCousin Michelle
Not really.
DBDonna Berzatto
Oh, fuck you, Michelle! I do not look okay? Did I not just bust my ass all day for you motherfuckers?
CMCousin Michelle
I didn't mean it like that.
DBDonna Berzatto
This... is beautiful! Am I okay? Am I okay? Are you motherfuckers okay? Are you okay, Lee? You didn't do shit! This is fucking gorgeous! Fuck you! Fuck you!
CMComputer Marshall
Pastry chef?
CMComputer Marshall
I mean, he... he makes two things, so that makes him too expensive.
Okay... w-what do you want me to do about it?
CMComputer Marshall
Do you need a pastry chef?
CMComputer Marshall
Do you need a Marcus?
CMComputer Marshall
Can you get a cheaper Marcus?
CMComputer Marshall
Natalie.
I've known you for 35 years. You coached Mikey's Little League team. You're nice to Pete. If you fuck with Marcus, I will murder you.
CMComputer Marshall
Chef.
MBMichael Berzatto
Listen, you might totally throw that fucking sandwich in my face, and like, have at it, okay? But I'm just gonna say, full disclosure, that this place, like this fucking place, it sucks. Like you go home, and you fucking smell it, you know? And it's like insane, and there's so much fucking yelling here. But, I swear to you, there are days that it is so much fun. Like it is so much fun. And like the pay is shit, right? But there are days we make a rack of fucking tips, and it's like it feels fucking good. So, uh...
TMTina Marrero
What are you asking me?
MBMichael Berzatto
I need a new line cook.
TMTina Marrero
I have an actual... I have an actual resume...
MBMichael Berzatto
What the fuck am I gonna do with a resume? I'll go clean the toilet with the fucking resume. I don't need a resume, I talked to you.
