That's on their bucket list.

Hey, don't get excited.

- Welcome aboard.

- He is hot.

- Did you see his style

Oh, my goodness.

- Don't throw that box away.

Just leave the box
where it is. Thank you.

- You're being
a little bit jerky.

- You dish it,
you'll get it back.

- Are you getting b*rned out?
- Me? No.

- You get these certain dishes
you like with the charters,

- Yeah.

- Okay, I get it, Kate.

- Oh, Smokey Robinson.

- Eduardo says "yes."

The fire's been contained.

I'm standing by still

- Really?
A [bleep] fire?

Obviously,
a [bleep] pizza caught fire.

Back up from...

- There was a pan
with a pizza on it,

and then there was two pans
in there.

Usually you
take the other pans out,

and the other pans
were just sitting on there.

- The pans were on the grill.

- This is Kate's fault.

Why would you throw a pizza
in the oven with other [bleep]

Who does that?

And then I went to go
pull this open,

and that was, like, whoa.

- A captain would rather hear
anything else than "fire."

A boat this size

can burn down to the waterline
in five minutes.

- I keep hearing
this alarm go off,

and then I'm like,
"Wait. I smell something.

This is not right."

- So it's my fault?

- I'm so sorry.

- We almost had a fire.

I mean, was there actual fire?

- Yeah.
There was an actual fire.

- No, there's no fire.
- But it's out now.

I have never had a fire
on any yacht

I've ever worked on.

- I just tried to, like, get
a quick sh*t and extinguish it

and then close the door
and just not let it flare up.

- Rocky and Kate.
- No. I don't think so.

I went up to do the DVD player
and left Rocky here.

- I don't know if it was
because of the sheet trays

are in there or...

- Rocky keeps going on and on
about how I should have taken

the trays out,
but guess what.

If the oven is anything
like the rest of the galley,

it's definitely covered
in grease.

I'm sorry
for the rude awakening.

Okay.

I'm not taking the blame
for this one.

Leon should take the blame.

- Hey, Amy.

- Hey.

- How you doing?
- Whew.

Doing okay.
How are you doing?

- Tired.
- I bet you are.

You were up late, huh?

- Yeah. 3:00.

Everyone's really exhausted,

it was a big deal

I put the pizza in,

and Kate was making pizza.

- And she goes,
"But I don't know how

to work the movie player
in the Sky Lounge."

I was like, "Okay, well,
I'll go handle that."

And the popcorn
was beginning to pop.

- Oh, Jesus.

Kate put the freaking popcorn
in too long.

Then I realize it's smoking,
so I go check the microwave,

and the popcorn is burnt,

and then I was like,
"I think she said

she was making a pizza."

So I open the oven, and a whole
bunch of smoke comes out,

and then I see
that there's a flame.

That's a flame.
- Holy hell! Open the door!

"Oh, that's a fire."

She opened up the oven door,

No meat or anything

off himself.

- Did you see Kate drink?

- Not yesterday, no.

- I'm just concerned
with last night.

I'm not concerned
with anything

that you didn't
personally witness.

I would expect the chef
to be very concerned

about a fire in his galley,

and he's more concerned
with bashing Kate

than about the potential
of sinking the boat

because his galley caught
on fire.

Kate's the chief stew,

to work it out,

like, three charters ago,

and that hasn't happened.

He doesn't have to like Kate.

I don't care if he likes her,

ten minutes in a day.

we might need to agree

- And it's just--

- I understand
where you're coming from.

You know, like,
we have Kate managing a group

of two other girls,

and then Chef
is alone by himself.

So you might as well
take out the one part

rather than take out the dynamic
of the three part.

- On one hand, I'm dealing
with the devil I know,

as opposed
to the devil I don't.

Leon's gone,

Chef leaving is me leaving too.
- Why?

- 'Cause I don't believe
that Captain made

the right decision.

I don't have respect
for my chief stew,

and now, as a Captain, I don't
have respect for him either,

so how am I supposed
to be here

when I don't have respect
for the two people

that I need
to have respect for?

- Because you have respect
for yourself,

and you're doing
a great job.

- For me to have respect
for myself

means standing up
in what I believe in.

And guess what.

I believe in that Chef
was a good chef.

- We're on the same team here.
Don't yell at us.

- The person that I think
should be leaving this boat

is the chief stew.

- Can I just try to explain it
from Captain's point of view?

So the chef
is this one entity.

The chief stew controls

so many different parts
of the boat.

After this,
we have two charters left.

It would be crazy

to bring in
a brand-new chief stew

and to have her expect to know
where everything is.

- Wow. I can't believe it.

Eddie's trying to be
the pro boatswain.

Come on. Really?

Like, I'm blown away

that he's not, like,
kind of standing up

or, like, understanding

both of them
are being rude to each other.

They are. They are.

- You and I have
this other relationship,

and now you're on her side?

I'm not playing that.

I don't want to have to carry
all of them out of here.

- You free for, like,
the next couple weeks?

Yeah, I lost my chef in
the middle of a bloody charter,

so I need help.

I need a new chef
and a new deckhand,

otherwise we're not going to get
through the next two charters.

I've got a deck position open,

and I'm wondering
if you might be in the market.

I'm not going to have a chef
for tonight's dinner,

but I've got to put out one fire
at a time right now.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Listen,
I really appreciate this.

Bailing my butt
out of a hot one.

- Mom, I dove headfirst,
and I went through the water.

- Really?

- I'm not there yet.

I'm still, like,
messed up in the head.

Like, what is going on?

Like, could I even finish
the season

without Leon?

Like, uh-uh.

[laughs]

- How we doing?
- Good.

Pulling for the white party.

Having an extra dinner
is hard enough,

and it's a big,
fancy birthday party dinner,

and we don't have a chef.

I've never faced
anything like this before.

- We'll meet them at the dock.

Eddie, let's get going.

- Thank you for being here
for me.

My parents are just telling me
to, like, "Hey, stick it out.

Just finish," you know?

I feel bad
that Captain had his third stew

jump off the yacht.

And I'm not a quitter.

I need to suck it up
and finish this charter.

- You want me to--table?

- It's quarter to 7:00,
so this is all happening

in the next two hours
and 15 minutes.

- This is, for sure,

the craziest day
of yachting I've ever had.

- Me too.

- Cheers!

- Come in.

- Hi, Captain.

- Coming up...

- Why are there Oreos
in the vegetables?

- Ooh, I have a great idea!

- What's in there?
- Grenadine.

It's a little strange.

- Primary went to go puke?

- Wait. What?

[clears throat]

I want to say I'm sorry.

- I'm not big on apologies.

- I don't know what else
to say than, like, I'm sorry.

- Apologies are more
for the person doing the apology

than they are the person
that's receiving the apology.

- Okay.

- I think you can do
more in my eyes

by doing the best job
you know how to do.

- Mm-hmm.

No matter
what's going on in my brain,

I can't leave everybody,
like, hanging.

Like, I got to finish it off.

Well, I'm going to show you

that I really mean it
by putting my head down,

getting to work,
and putting 110% into this.

- I look forward to that.

We're down a deckhand.
We're down a chef.

I can't afford to be down a stew
right before a huge dinner,

but Rocky's
on thin [bleep] ice.

I don't even want
to talk to her.

- Well, thank you for letting me
come in here and apologize.

I'm going to get up
in that kitchen,

and I'm going to help out.

They still need dinner,
and I'm the only one

that can really crush out
a good dinner.

- [sighs]

- I feel like this charter
is never going to end.

Like, is this really
going to happen?

The next two hours
are going to be, like,

a marathon
where you need a strong finish.

- Dude.
- [sighs]

- Man, that guest
is going to love you.

I think that guest
is on the main deck aft.

- We had a good time today
out there cave diving.

- Hey.

- I feel like Leon
cooked so well

and did all of those meals
and made everyone happy.

- That's so [bleep] true.

- He got blamed for a fire
that wasn't his fault.

This is where I have to bite
my tongue and just take it.

- Going against it so much...

it's not going to be
in your favor.

If we keep fighting, we're going
to burn out ourselves.

Put your working hat on.
[laughs]

Smile.
Enjoy yourself.

- Emile and I have
this awesome friendship,

and it's like you look me
in the eye,

and you're like, "I feel you.
I get why you're doing this."

I'm just, like, thankful.

Hug me.

- Mm.

- Mayday.
- Y'all going down.

- Hi. Yes, I was wondering,
do you guys have lava cakes?

This guest--he had his first
birthday cake ever at age 50.

How is that possible?

Okay, perfect.

And if you could write
"Happy 50th Birthday, Alan"?

- Kate has her chief-stew pants
ironed and pressed this evening,

because she's pulling out
all the tricks.

- We need some fireworks
at the marina tonight.

I don't care what it costs.

You know, the guests
have been drinking.

We have a lot
of stuff planned for them.

I'm not at all concerned
about the birthday dinner.

Worst-case scenario, we'll order
from a nearby restaurant,

and it'll still be better
than Leon's cooking.

Thank you.

[cork pops]

[woman screams]
- There we go.

Look at that.

- Boo-yah!

- We're going to pull off
the best white party...

- Of our lives.

Dinner's in about
an hour and a half,

and then we have fireworks.

- What's up for dinner?
What's your guys' plan?

Well, you do know
I went to culinary school.

You do know I am a chef.

Do you want some help
in that area?

- Of course. Yes.
- Okay.

- Fantastic.
- Okay.

- [chuckles]

At this point,
I don't have a choice.

Here's your chance,
Chef Rocky.

- Okay.
This is going to be okay.

Okay, okay.

Right now they need me.

I don't want them--They're in--
I got to get--Let's help.

Eddie! Do you want
to do something,

or do you want
to just stand around?

'Cause I have a million things
you can do.

- After the last meal
that Rocky cooked for us,

I couldn't let her cook
this meal on her own.

Does that look raw to you?

[bleep].

- Ooh.

- It's 8:17.

I'm going to go get this show
on the road.

- Look at this.
I'm really proud of us.

- Oh, yeah, Eddie, this salad
is going to be kick-ass.

- What are you putting that on?
What is that?

- Okay.
[Rocky laughs]

- Welcome to your all-white
birthday party.

- Wow.
- It's beautiful.

And it's intimate.

- It looks a little strange.

- I usually put cocoa nib
on this...

- Cocoa?

- Cocoa nib.
- No, no.

- It's like
a cookie-crumble thing.

- No, we can't put
that on there.

- Don't look, Eddie.
- I don't want to look at it.

- This is our tips.

I did this, like, New York
veggie scene salad

with, like, a...

- Eddie, that's, like,
food p*rn.

- Food p*rn, dude?
- That's food p*rn, man.

- Thank you.

Little bit of color
on the plate.

Like, black,
dark-brown color, and...

[scoffs]
It was cool.

It was so cool.

- The guests are seated
at the table, so...

Why are there Oreos
in the vegetables?

- At this point, I'm like,

"Kate, don't even look at me."

My plan is just not talk
to her, do my job.

I'm going to make this happen.

Eddie, I need those plates.
- We got oysters.

- Boom. Little oysters.
Ooh, I have a great idea!

I've got my ideas.
Mmm!

It's going to taste amazing.
They're going to love it.

- What's in there?

- Grenadine.
It's a little strange.

- I had faith in Rocky, 'cause
all yacht chefs are crazy,

and she's definitely got
the crazy part down.

- I'm leaving.
- Amy, this is

a sweet-lemon vinaigrette
with a little grenadine.

- Don't say "grenadine."

- It's either this or nothing.

Let's just hope
they're too drunk

to tell there's grenadine
on the oysters.

- "Oh, my gosh,
you put grenadine

on the freakin' oysters?"

- These are pretty.

Let's put a little bit of lemon
on here.

- You can eat that,
whatever that is.

- I'm not sure who's looking
for extra oysters.

- You don't like--
Is it a texture thing?

- Okay.
Your next course is coming soon.

- You're not going
to eat your oyster?

- Dig in.

- Okay.

Uh, Kate and Amy?

- [retching]

- Primary went to go puke.

- Primary went to go puke?
- Yeah.

- The oysters?
- I don't know.

- Wait. What?

- Something tells me grenadine
on oysters

wasn't the best call.

- Alan, are you okay?

Is Rocky really trying
to help with this meal,

or is she still really upset
about Leon leaving

and she's trying to sabotage
this birthday dinner?

[toilet flushing]

- Primary's
in his bathroom puking.

- From what?
- I have no idea.

But that's why they didn't
bring anything up just yet.

- Did everyone eat
the oysters?

- I do not know.

So I came back out here.

- Good?

- [bleep].

God damn.

- Okay. All right.

- How do I get
this [bleep] pan hot?

This can't go on any longer.

Sorry, Rocky.
I'm taking charge now.

- [bleep], dude.
I don't know.

Now you're [bleep] making--
you're second-guessing me, so...

When Leon leaves,
Eddie doesn't have my back,

and it totally hurts me,

and then I'm cooking dinner,
and he's nervous

that I'm not going to be able
to, like, put it together.

It's super frustrating.

- We could just sear 'em
and cook 'em in the oven.

- I wanted to say a few things
about the man of the hour.

We love your sense of humor,

your smile
and your thoughtfulness.

- Everybody loves everybody.
Now let's go home.

- Yeah.

- Cheers, you guys.

- Okay, we're ready
to take 'em.

- So that and then the steaks
are going to go.

- The table's not that big.
You're going to have

to put the steak on the plate
with the vegetables.

- That's fine. Put it
right on top of the vegetables.

- I don't understand
why we can't just drop that off

and come back.

- Because we don't have time,
we don't have room.

That's why.

And hopefully that steak

will cover up the fact
that you put Oreos on a salad.

It's a win-win.

- So communication
would have been key there.

- I didn't know you wanted--
- Don't talk to me.

Don't talk to me.
- Enough.

Let's just get
through this dinner, please.

- Yeah, sure, Dad.
- Okay. Thank you.

Without getting attitude
with people.

Rocky's a lunatic.

I don't know how I was actually
involved with this girl.

That's it for me.

- It looks delicious.

- There you go.
There you go.

- Pardon me.

- The caves were definitely
a little tight.

- Is this a filet?
- It is...

with roast vegetables
and au jus.

And [bleep] Oreos.

- Beautiful.

- Coming up...

- You know what you're
really good at, Kate?

You're a jabber.
You just jab, jab.

- You know what you're
really good at?

- What?

leep] like,

"Hey, the table's really small.

We're only going
to be able to use one plate."

- You all right?

- I'm fine. Do you see
what I've been working with?

- Yes.
- It's ridiculous.

- It is, it is.
- It's disrespectful.

- Where's the [bleep]
communication there?

I don't know.

- You need
to calm down, honey.

- Let's eat.

- I hope this goes over
better than the oysters did.

- That's a good steak.

Their cooking here is amazing.
- Perfect.

- I don't think
I've ever had a bad meal here.

- Thank you, Jesus.

We just dodged an Oreo b*llet.

- Would anybody like
a glass of...?

- Yes.

- Well, actually,
he's fallen ill.

- Oh. That's a bummer.

- Yes. Unfortunately,

Leon has fallen ill
with unemployment-itis,

and there's no way
I'm bringing Rocky up here.

- Hey, Kate, could you meet me
on the main deck aft, please?

Ah!

- Copy.

- Delivery.
- Thanks.

- World's heaviest cake...
- [laughs]

- And I don't know what that is,
and I don't know where--

- Oh. These are lava cupcakes.

Holy...
- Oh.

Hmm.

And it's a disaster.

And our sweet charter guest

has never had a birthday cake
in his life.

At this point,
I'm just, like, delirious.

I cannot have
another thing go wrong.

Look at the cake, Amy.
- Hmm.

- Can we fix it with a spoon
and some whipped cream?

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- Okay.

Maybe some love,
some shaved chocolate.

- These guys are just so cool.

They're people
you want to hang out with.

- Everything's going
smoothly upstairs.

Now, downstairs--
much different story.

I just kind of fixed it
with my finger.

- Do you want candles?

- But I don't think
they'll notice.

Yeah, we've got candles.

Hopefully his eyes will be
so filled with tears of joy,

he won't notice the actual state
of his birthday cake.

approve another late departure.

And from the bottom of my heart,
from my family to you guys,

thank you so much.

you guys earned every dollar.

It was a pretty

- Love y'all.
- Salud.

- Let's wrap it up.
Everybody turn in.

We'll do the tip meeting
in the morning.

Good night.

- It's so nice
to see you cook, Rocky.

- Thanks, Kate.
I really enjoyed it.

I had a great time doing it.

This is actually what I usually
do instead of, like, do stew.

- Oh.

Well, Rocky...
- What? What, Kate?

- That wasn't the job
that is on the boat.

- Correct, Kate,
and I think I did

a really frickin' awesome job

stepping up
and doing the stew role.

- Yeah. You did, and I've always
told you that, right?

I told you you did
a great job, didn't I?

- [laughs]
Oh, God.

- Didn't I say
you did an amazing job,

you learned really quickly,
and I was so impressed?

She's just like
a ticking time b*mb

that I have to compliment,

and even when I compliment her,

I still end up
getting yelled at.

- Kate, you are awesome.
You are seriously awesome.

You are so awesome.
You are...

- I'm really confused.
- Amazing.

- I feel like you're
not being authentic.

I feel like I always told you--

- I'm not being authentic.
You're right.

Maybe I'm not being authentic
right now.

Chef left today,
and I think that was baloney.

You helped
make that decision, Kate.

You totally helped
make that decision,

and that's where my attitude
is right now.

- I don't even know
why he left.

- You know what you're
really good at, Kate?

You're good at these sharp,
little jabs.

You're a jabber.

You just jab, jab,
jab, jab, jab.

"Hi, my name's Kate."
Jab.

- You know
what you're really good at?

- What, Kate?
Tell me.

- Showing no respect
for people

who have earned their position
and for positions--

You need to let me finish!

- When you want respect,
you got to give respect.

You have been so rude
to the chef, to me.

- I've been very nice to you.
- Wrong. Wrong.

- If you didn't think
I was nice to you,

you wouldn't still be here.

- And then walk
away from a conversation,

'cause I'm a child.

- At this point,
Rocky is useless to me.

Ain't nobody got time

for Rocky and her 17 different
[bleep] personalities.

- I'm done.
Done, dude.

- You're [bleep] awesome.
- I'm sorry, dude.

I've been trying my hardest.

How long can you try?
How long can I try?

- Rocky, I love you, okay?

[both laughing]

- Coming up...

- Hello, darling.
[laughs]

- What are you doing here?

- How's it going?
- Going good.

Lots of progress.

- That looks really good,
actually.

- Hi, Amy Jo.
- Hi.

- How are you?

- Good. How are you?
- Good.

- I don't know
what to say to Rocky,

because I feel like she owes us
all some sort of apology,

but I don't think she realizes
she did anything wrong.

- I'm having a hard time getting
in a good space with Rocky.

Like, how do you go
from jumping off the boat

and swimming away,
coming back like, "I'm here"?

Yeah.

- If Rocky's in a bad mood,

it's like, "Guys, I'm not
in the mood right now."

And then two seconds later,
she's like, "Hey!"

- She is eternally

on an emotional roller coaster
all the time,

and she expects us all to go
on the ride with her.

I don't care
if she apologizes.

I just want off the crazy ride

so that Amy and I can do
the real work.

- Words are easy.
- Yeah, talk is cheap.

And also, you were
a [bleep] bitch in the galley.

And your [bleep] plating sucks.

I'm already embarrassed
about what I did,

and it's hypocritical of me.

It's morally
and ethically wrong.

It goes against everything
that I stand for,

but then to have
her really go off the deep end

on the psychotic range...

And I just want
to distance myself from her

as much as I possibly can.

- I think we're all
just kind of, like, baffled that

that happened and that there's--
- No repercussions.

- Nothing,
or she's not even, like,

really sympathetic
about it.

I guess I'm just going
to keep on focusing on work

and get through
these next two charters.

- Yep, it's all we can do.

- Attention all crew.

I need everybody
in the crew mess in two.

- You got to stay with us
eight more days.

Eight more days.
Can't lose it yet.

- Fires,
stew abandoning ship,

Chef walking off mid-charter,
grenadine oysters--

this charter has been
an absolute disaster.

- What a [bleep]show, huh?
- [chuckles]

- Now you know why [bleep] lions
eat their young.

I think the worst one
I ever worked on,

but these guys were happy.

All right,
$17,500 split 9 ways--

$1,950 for each one of us.

Rocky. Emile.

- Rocky should have gotten down
on her hands and [bleep] knees

and apologized
to that entire crew

during the tip meeting.

- Got everybody, didn't I?

I have a bit of a surprise
for you guys this morning.

We're getting a new chef.

We will get through
the next two charters.

We got two left.
Don't let up, please.

We need to get busy.

Let's flip the boat.
- Thanks, Cap.

- I thought last night
was really lovely.

Chef would have been proud.

- Yeah.
You ask if you could be chef?

- That wasn't even an option.

I'm surprised, though.

At the same time,
I don't want to be...

- Oh, whatever.

- No, I don't want
to be chef with her.

- Oh.
Oh, okay.

- To be completely honest,
I'm just excited

to have some new blood.

They don't know me.

I don't know them.
They don't know anybody.

Like, no more negative stuff,
no more negative stuff.

Let's think positive.

'Cause it might help me.

- Not that you're--

- No, I just hide it better.

It's actually quite common

for a chef not to work out
during a charter season.

So I've actually been the guy
several times to rescue boats.

- But I think the biggest
problem down in the galley

is communicating
with the chief stew.

- It was like a funeral home
in there.

Nobody would speak.

a little release.

- Well, really nice
to have you here.

That's awesome.

- Well, thank you.
Cheers. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you also.
- Okay.

This is a little intense now.

[laughter]

Bloody hell.

- How are you feeling
about all this?

- So excited. Thank God.
- Yeah.

- I'm so relieved.
- Our room.

- [bleep] hell.
Nice one, mate.

- Yeah, buddy.
- Wow.

- Are you kind of wishing
you would have shared a room

with the man that left
so you could share again

the room with the man
that you had a room with?

- No.
- Okay.

- No.
- Okay.

Coming up...

- [bleep] Leon
was cocky.

- I don't want to talk
about this, so...

I was just having
a really good meal.

- All right.

♪ ♪

- Video games?

[giggles]
- Oh, yeah.

- It's good to see you, love.
- Yeah. I'm glad you're here.

I haven't seen you
in, like, four months.

- We've been speaking, though.
- Facebook counts.

- Someone hacked
into my account.

I never spoke to you.

[laughing]
I'm just kidding.

- It makes so much sense,
'cause the guy was so funny.

I was like,
"This doesn't sound like Ben."

- Oh, flattery will get
you everywhere, love.

- I know.

Ben's so positive, and he just
brings such a good vibe

to the boat, unlike Leon.

Do you like your room?

- Yeah, it's pretty cool,
and I like my roommate too.

- I'm glad.
You and Eddie.

It is what it is.
We got a new chef.

- I don't care.
It's a chef. Whatever.

- If you got a problem
with it, then...

- I don't think
anybody said that.

Leon's gone.

He's been my best friend,

and then here I listen to Eddie
putting him down.

It's really frustrating.

I don't want to talk
about this, so...

I was just having
a really good meal.

- [sighs]
- All right.

- Yeah, as I watch Rocky
interact

with everything
in everyday life

or jump off the boat,
or do some crazy [bleep],

I'm embarrassed
to have ever been involved

with her in any way.

- My boys.
- What's good?

It's been you two
this whole time.

- Us?
- Mm-hmm.

- [bleep].

- [chuckles]
Why you saying [bleep]?

- So how have you been
finding this season?

- We've had really great
charter guests.

Amy and I--BFF.

- [bleep] hell.
- I know.

- Could I imagine the day?

- And Rocky--
she went to culinary school.

- [bleep].

- I know. Be nervous.
- I am.

- You should be.

- Well, you've got to hate
someone, don't you?

- Listen, I am always open
to hating more than one person.

You know that.

- Kate is not afraid
to have enemies,

even within her own department.

That's not the way I roll.

I'm just going to try
and make lighthearted of it

and be like,
"Listen, girl, you obviously--

"You know, you need an enemy.
It's great you have one.

I'm really happy for you."
[laughs]

- Connie is k*ller.

She wears camo
and loves to k*ll fish.

- You in a nutshell.
- Mm-hmm.

- The hunter.
Kate the hunter.

- Actually, I have been
called "the hunter."

It was for a different animal.

- Maybe a human?

- A specific breed.

- With...

sort of
floppy genitalia?

[laughs]

- Not usually.

- Not when you're around.

[clicks tongue]
I like that.

Here we go again.

Very, very kinky.

- Next time on "Below Deck"...

- No, [bleep] me.

I just want you
to trim the spill.

- Finally I have somebody else
to put Rocky in her place.

- [bleep] this.

- We have co-primaries.

- She's a housewife
of Atlanta.

- You guys cannot tell
us "no," right?

- Absolutely.
- I love South Africa.

- [giggles]

- Oh!
[women screaming]

- I want a kitten.

[laughter]

- Now I want a dog.

- The new deckhand's going
to be here in about 20 minutes,

and it's somebody you know.

- The guests canceled dinner.
- What?

- They're so full
from the appetizers.

- [bleep]. Kate k*lled dinner
with that platter.

- Ben is a diva, and he
overreacts about everything.

That's [bleep].
- Oh, God.

- That's not my job.

- Okay, you're going
to be a d*ck? Why?
