You are. Your table should be ready

very shortly, sir.

- What about the group that just went in?

- Mr Pellet had a reservation, so...

- I thought you don't take reservations.

- We don't, except for Mr Pellet.

I'm sure we'll have a table for you

any moment.

I see several of them are drinking

their coffee. Why not look at the menu?

I know what we're having. Lobster!

- Bravo.

- Bravo.

- I took care of everything. We're next.

- Thanks, sweetie.

Nobody tells me I can't sit.

Sit when I want to.

We're next. Sit next.

No need for those. What do you say,

let's all have the lobster.

Show us what you got.

And Stan, no arguments.

This dinner...

...is on you.

He thought

I was going to say on me! Huh?

Wait a minute...

Maybe they're just

taking them for a walk.

- Look at these beauties!

- Don't serve those.

- What?

- These are mine.

- Yours?

- You got my table, but not my lobsters.

This is your table?

My table!

I see.

This is your table.

- These are your lobsters.

- You got it.

I suppose this is your wife?

- Is this your tie?

- No.

Is this your shirt? Is this your belt?

Are these your shorts?

I've driven all day. We just get into town,

wait in line for two hours...

You just got into town?

Well, I've been in town for 30 years.

30 years! Every summer, you renters

think you can take over the town.

You can't!

- Boil them!

- Wait a minute, pal...

Now, we will have a table

for you in 20 minutes.

Forget it!

- We're going.

- Good idea.

- I'm hungry.

- I know, sweetheart.

You don't want to eat here.

I just found rats in the back.

- How disgusting!

- A whole nest of rats right in the back!

I apologise. The man was a slob.

- This is it?

- There's the Barnacle.

There's the boat. The guy at

the gas station said the food's great.

- It's the only place open.

- Well, it's got character.

And live entertainment.

I don't want any complaints.

Let's just sit down and enjoy ourselves.

- This place sucks!

- Where did you learn that?

- I told her never to say things "suck".

- Look!

- An ugly old pirate!

- Oh, really?

Where? Hello, me buccaneers.

Me name's Scully.

And what might your name be, me lass?

My name's Laurie,

and where's your hand?

You don't want to know.

- So, what's it going to be?

- Can you recommend something?

Scully's Catch-of-the-Day!

It's fresh grouper, slightly breaded,

sauteed to a golden brown,

and lemon butter, shallots...

...with a teasing hint of Dijon.

- We'll take five.

- Cortez!

- Si, senor?

- Cinco Scully's Catch-of-the-Day.

Cinco Scully's Catches-of-the-Day.

- Bon appetit.

- Thank you very much.

Isn't this nice? Listen to gas station

attendants. They know where to eat.
