Sidney Comes to Dinner

Well, well, well, here's Mama Bloom's brood. So Bloom Home, we find Mama preparing an extra special dinner. Why?

Well, because Sarah's boyfriend, Sidney Schifbain, has been invited to break bread. The girls haven't arrived yet, but Papa is watching Mama avidly. Jack, what time is it? A time. Mm-hmm. Same to eat. Can't you wait a few minutes?

Sure I can wait. I've got this. What have we got, anyway? Boyce begot soup, then chicken did noodles with potatoes, two vegetables, spinach with sweet peas. Sweet peas, homing green peas. They're sweet, I taste them myself.

And then we got something fancy, architects with melted butter. No, architects, artichokes, architects build a house. I taught carpenters build a house. No, no, no, no, no. First an architect makes a picture of a house.

You remember when we built the factory, first comes an architect with a piece of paper. Yeah, yeah, I remember. Blue paper with white lines on it. He called it our blue point. No, no, you mean our blueprint.

I must shame that you'd shake blue print is our oyster. Oyster, never mention that name in this house, Mama. I wouldn't do it. And then chocolate cake, we got it, and coffee with finger balls.

Finger balls, finger balls. Finger balls, we got to have it for that boy. It's too much trouble. He wants to wash his hands, let him go to the bathroom like I do. you have finger bones.

And you do me a favor, Jake. Yeah, what kind of favor? You're pleased to wear your coat to the table. What's mama, my coat is too tight to eat in. Also, Jake, remember. Sarah's very particular that you should do this.
