Original subtitles

Uh-huh. Now, this-

this I can stomach.

that's your entree

then, sir-

Charlie, table 3 wants

to substitute cous cous

with their rib eye-

not now, jule.

ask in the kitchen.

hey, you're

the anniversary guy.

yes?

oh, well,

congratulations.

40 years I hear.

not bad.

and the shrimp bisque

to start, Mr. Bancroft?

where's the

stuffed salmon?

shouldn't he try our

award-winning fish?

yes. Shouldn't I?

it's not in

his price range,

Julia,

but if Mr. Bancroft-

forget the price range.

I want the best

you have.

want me to see

if there's any

in the kitchen

he can taste?

yes.

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...

3 days.

(retching)

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?

Mm-mm-mmm!

yummy-yummy-yum!

come on, Owen.

I know you like

apples-

red and juicy

and sweet-

no.

ok. Uh, how about

scrambled eggs then?

runny and salty

and soft...

oh, oh...Pancakes?

fine. 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?

12 through 15?

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.

then my advice:

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.

(Sighs)

ow.

(Clunk)

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?

(coins clattering)

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.

(sighs) 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!

TV: 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.

(sighs)

I don't know, maybe

that crap works

for cinderella,

but for me, I just

want to crawl into bed

and never wake up.

(sighs)

(Footsteps)

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-

(telephone rings)

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.

(knock on door)

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.

(exhales)

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.

(sighs)

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.

(utensil clatters)

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.

(sighs)

are you sure?

Claudia?

claud, are you-

look, at least

eat the beans.

I turned

that store upside down

to find white ones.
