Why don't you get out here and wait on these tables? I'm out here in the kitchen, Avid. Well, get in here. But I'm from inside the kitchen. Never mind, get in here. Look, drop whatever you're doing.

You idiot. I was watching the dishes. Listen. Wait until Mr. Melodet sees all those broken dishes. Do you realize those dishes cost money? Yeah, speaking of money, Avid. There was $10,000 written out of the cash register last night.

Now, I don't like tax use, nobody. But you and me are the only ones that can use the cash register. Well, what are you going to do about it? Well, how about each of us putting back five dollars and we'll pick up the whole thing?

Ah, now you idiot. You're going to ruin this business. You're going to ruin this restaurant. Now how you figured it out? I mean, after all, I've... What do you mean? You're the one who's ruining the business with that terrible coffee you've been making.

Oh, yeah. I've been making coffee for years. Every morning I get up and make coffee in my pajamas. Well, from now on, try making it in a percolator. Now, look, come here, Castella. Yes, sir.

What are you doing behind that counter? Take your hand out of that cookie jar. I'm stacking up all these policemen cookies. Uh, uh, policemen cookies? Yeah, cupcakes. Cupcakes! Cupcakes! Leave your hands off the food, please.
