- Reverend Haggis?

- Come in.

- Mayor Burton.

- Don't get up, Reverend Haggis.

Great sermon today, really great.

That second hour, faultless.

Thank you. I worked quite a bit

about that part about the abortion clinic.

Just the way that they're taking

the responsibility away from...

She's running against me.

- Banks is running against me.

- Banks?

She's a godless jezebel.

Well, Teddy, with all due respect,

- so is half the island.

- I know.

Truth be told, it's probably more than half.

Port Gamble has changed.

I mean, did you see that turnout today?

It's Sunday morning, for pity's sake.

It's God's prime time to shine.

Remember the 90s, Teddy?

Clinton was our go-to scapegoat.

We had the fishing industry.

Tourists by the hundreds.

We had two services on Sunday

and one on Wednesday.

I used to...

I used to say things of consequence.

I used to... I used to move people.

I don't know.

Hey, now, you still move them.

There may not be as many.

But believe me, they're all yours.

I just wish half of them

had as much devotion as you do.

Yeah, well,

I am your number one fan after all.

I know, Hal.

Things will pick up.

You wanna pray?

- You shouldn't pray in the front room, Dad.

- Don't start again, Frida.

- Dad, don't start.

- If you think you're going out

dressed like that,

you are insane.

Dad, I don't have time to change.

I'm going out.

With whom? With your pimp?

Dad, this is the way people dress

when they go on a date.

A date?

Is it Hamid?

Yeah, Dad, the one-brow wonder?

Yeah, that'd be a great date, wouldn't it?

You just don't like Hamid

because he's one of us.

It's truth, Frida.

- You're ashamed of who you are.

- You know what? You just hate Derek

- because he's not Iranian.

- Derek?

Derek Blaine?

The same guy that I fired today?

- You fired Derek today?

- You're surprised?

What happened to you, jelly-belly?

Quitting Princeton,

coming back to this bullshit place,

giving your time to nobodies?

Please, Dad,

you have no idea who I really am.

This, Frida, this is who you are.

You're part of the real culture,

real history.

You're Iranian. You're from the good family.

And one day,

you take our restaurant national.

But I don't want that. I've never wanted that.

I've seen what that place does to you.

All you do is work.

Who do you think this is all for?

I didn't make chicken-fried steak

for 20 years so you could be one of them.

What do you think your mother would say?

- I'm coming out, coming out, coming out.

- You are coming out.

- Can't believe it. Coming out.

- This is the day. I'm so excited for you.

It's gonna be so good.

It's gonna be a great dinner.
