“Shut up! I know what that means, Tina. When was the last time you emptied these? Hey, Chi-Chi, it’s Carmy. Still got that meat connected? Don’t wipe your hands on your apron, Chef. Chef. Yeah, no shit it is. They conserved copper during World War II. That’s why no rivets. How the fuck do you not know that? This is original Big E red-line selvage, alright? From 1944. You an get 1,250 for that on Ebay tonight. Add this. That’s like three hundo, Chi-Chi! Plus a 1955 blanket-lined Type 3. Pleated.” — Carmy Merzatto
“Hey, Sugar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, I-I need your help. No. No, no, no, no. It’s not like that. Yeah, I need that, uh, jacket that Mike gave me. Yeah. Look, can you, uh, can you bring it here? Thank you. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Alright. Alright. Bye. Hi. Right. Shit. Sorry. Yes. Yeah. Carmy. Um, here, gimme your… thank you. Uh, Alinea, Smoque, Avec. That’s some serious heat. What’s, uh… what’s UPS? That’s in Chicago? Shit. That’s the UPS. Yeah. Um, what’d you– what’d you do for them? CIA? Okay, so what are you doing here? Good. Um… okay, so you know the drill. We, uh… you’re gonna make family. It’s meat plus three, and w-we eat around 2:00. What’s up? Of course. Yeah. Oh, yeah? Making sandwiches.” — Carmy Merzatto
“Tina… Ebraheim? It’s in the oven. Tina, can you start a new giardiniera for me please, Chef? Ebraheim… aight, but you can punch ’em, blanch ’em, freeze ’em, fry ’em before the beef, right? I’m not messing anything up. Chef, no! Please, please, do not touch that. This is the one time you listen to me. Please do not touch that. That’s been going for 12 hours, okay? Use another pot, please, Chef. Alright? Corner! Hey, Marcus, I need a double order of bread today, okay, Chef?” — Carmy Merzatto
“Listen, Marcus, we’re not meeting dailies, alright? Vendors are cutting us off. I don’t have the money to fix it right this second, but I will get you a new mixer. Okay? I promise you. Yeah? Alright, that’s the beef. Come on, gimme a hand. Corner! Smaller fry scoops today, Chef. Behind! What is this system? Yeah, that’s Sydney. She’s helping us out today. Michael’s system makes no sense– I’m saying something! Hey yo, Gary! You set up a compost for me today, Chef? That’s very clear. Thank you.” — Carmy Merzatto
“Program started four hours ago. We need the business! Nerds come in from Rockford to play. I don’t have to do shit. That’s Sydney. She’s helping us out today. No, all you, Chef. It was a play on a Panettone. It woulda been beautiful if you’d let me finish it. Fuck! Cousin! Don’t say sweetheart, you fucking weirdo. Okay– I don’t have time to do this right now. Don’t you fucking– why didn’t he leave it to you then? Heard. Where’s my knife?! Chefs, we gotta sharpen our knives when we got a sec! Don’t call me Bobby Flay! Sydney, stir that pot for me, please, Chef. What’s our best day here? Okay, Ebraheim, get me a pot for the giardiniera! So if we do six, that’ll get us through the week, right? So, Ballbeaker. Don’t say spaghetti! All these knives are dull! Straight-up done now, Chef. Behind. Housekeeping, Chefs! Housekeeping means you have to clean your station ’cause this place is fuckin’ gross. I refer to everybody as Chef because it’s a sign of respect, and I never said I couldn’t figure out the spaghetti. I said it doesn’t make any sense on this menu, so it is done. The end. Three hours to open, Chefs! Everybody doesn’t have any taste. It was an under-seasoned over-sauced mess. It took seven hours to prep.” — Carmy Merzatto
“A, I know how to make pasta, Marcus. B, I hate to break your hearts, motherfuckers, but that gluey, mushy bullshit is not bailing us out this time. Ballbreaker, is. Fak’s raising plays to a dollar, so shut the fuck up! Tina! Did you take my knife, Chef? Fuck! Two hours longer! Wrigley didn’t deliver enough meat this week. Because we’re out of money! The only beef I could get was bone-in, which you have to braise, alright? It takes two hours longer. The good news is we can stretch it by cutting the bread shorter… …and using less gravy. System! You can barely afford to pay people, but sick system. I thought this was your house!” — Carmy Merzatto
“Yeah, Fak, that’s the point. It’s already ultra confusing. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. How long’s this gonna take? It’s gotta be faster. Yo, Sweeps, can you open up the windows in the back, please? Shit! Man, stupid dull-ass knife! Fucking damn it, Ebraheim! Blood! You see? Good! Good! Y’all happy now? Can I have my fucking knife back?!” — Carmy Merzatto
“That’s fire, Chef. Hey! Guys, look, we gotta line up! We got service in an hour, alright? Hey! Cousin! Seriously, I wanna start defining our roles a little bit more clearly, alright? Cousin. Seriously, Cousin! Hey, Tina, I gotta go see my sister. You hold down the fort? Oh, you gotta ask her. Yo. You didn’t put it in a bag or anything? Hi. Hi. Yeah, well… no. Uh… no, I know, I know. I just… yeah, no, I know. I just– I’ve been busy. I’ve been working, so… it’s not for sale. That it’s not for sale? So he can flip it into an Applebee’s? No, no, I-I’m trying to do something here, Sugar. Gotta go. Um… I’m okay. Okay? I’m gonna fix this place. Um, I really– I gotta go, okay? Yeah? Thank you for this.” — Carmy Merzatto
“Time to try the new sandwiches. Behind! Corner! Marcus, rolls, please, Chef! Fuck. Again! That’s crumbly! It’s too dense! Yo. It’s not the mixer, alright? It’s crumbly. The oven’s too dry. You need to fill a baking sheet with water, put it on the over floor, throw in another batch, okay? Just do it! Yo! Somebody come try this! Cousin! There you go, Chef. Chef. What’s goin’ on? What do you think? Heard, heard, heard. Tina. Salt? Beef? It’s tender? It’s nice? We happy? Alright, alright. We’re gonna need more bread. Hey, Chi-Chi, yeah, come get your jacket. Yo! Yo! Fak, how we looking? Hey, I’ll pay you in sandwich, yeah? All good. Thank you, Chef. Yo, shit. Cousin, cousin. cousin, yo, it’s getting crazy out there. Come give me a hand. Yeah, really.” — Carmy Merzatto
“Yo! Eh! Everybody relax! Things are fucking alright! Yo! Eh, stop banging on the fucking glass! My guy, stop banging– fuck you, man! Thank you. What are you talking about? I brought that crowd in! That’s a lot of money out there! System, system! Cousin– that’s good. You see that difference? Yep. Hey, grab me a fresh parm brick?” — Carmy Merzatto

“Corner… yo, you. Fucking with my program, cousin? I had the kid all morning. Excuse me. Listen, what is going on with, Ballbeaker? My Insta’s completely blowing up. Yeah, I got– what is that, a diss? I got 36 followers… yeah, like in 1987. You know, when you were still in that deadbeat’s balls. How are you? Oh my god, she murdered it, Tina! I gotta– H-hold on. Listen, you gotta run this stuff by me first. Hold on. Listen, let’s just have a conversation for a second! Whoa. Fuck is this? You’re what-ing today? Cousin, you ordering a different mayonnaise, bro? Yeah, ‘all you, chef.’ This biff, he was usin’ them to make a giant nut muffin! Fuck you! Richie Jerimovich. Pleasure to meet you, sweetheart. Oh sorry, Carm, you’re so woke. I meant nothing by it, Sydney. Saying sweetheart is just part of our Italian heritage. Listen, I’m trying to talk to you, okay? Don’t be rude and start doing a million things– I don’t remember having time to take care of your mom for six months. No, don’t you fucking! I got all kinds of receipts from my divorce lawyer backing up ’cause all the time I spent trying to put your family back together ’cause you’re too much of a cocksucker to come home! The guys are texting me. You’re telling them to do all sorts of weird shit backwards. Don’t fucking do that, Carmen! Don’t go messing with their heads and ordering different mayonnaise and hiring new fucking broads without talking to me first! This is your brother’s house, okay? Yeah? Remember? I was running it fine without you. You gotta sharpen your brain when we get a second. You been here for two weeks, we been having money problems for two weeks. One plus one equals you’re an asshole, Bobbly Flay. What’s a cartouche? Five. Just make it easy and make the fucking spaghetti! Because fucking 11 Madison Park dickhead over here, he couldn’t figure it out! Again, what the fuck are you saying? Anyone understand what he’s saying? Who are you yelling at, Carmy? There’s like four of us in here. Now, let me ask you something. If the spaghetti didn’t make any sense, how come everybody fucking loved that shit? Oh, fuck! You know what? This shit right here made you pompous and delusional and a fucking gayrod! These guys, they taught you how to cook with ants, but none of these fuckwads taught you how to make a pasta! Neil Fak! This fucking fairy’s butt-buddy. He’s– whoa! Why is the beef so hot? Two hours late? Why didn’t Wrigley deliver? Call Wrigley. Call Wrigley! Which is not how we have ever done a beef here in 25 years, Carm! Don’t fucking talk to me about labor, Noma! Fuck all this. Announcement! Listen up! Bread stays the same! Gravy stays the same!”
“Ebraheim, I swear to God, she looks fucking beautiful. You would’ve lost your mind. And all of a sudden, the guy’s back in my face! I’m like, listen, if you’re gonna get in my face, we’re gonna have a real problem. Yeah, one second. Hold on a second here. We’re just– hold on a second. Trying to get some work done here, capiche? This is his twin brother… …which I found out later. But at this point, I think it’s the guy from the hot dog stand, and I’m like, listen, go home already! Get the fuck outta here! Oh my god! I’m like… so, I’m like, okay, now there’s a problem. I’m trying to enjoy my tacos you’re ruining my date, right? So, this guy, he pulls out a revolver. Swear to God! And I’m like, oh my god, wh-where did you get that? What, did you steal that from the museum gift shop? You now, like, who are you? Mr. Bogart? Please, what are we doing here…”
“These labels. Marcus! Where are the chili flakes? It’s most Polish shit ever. Cousin organizes it, it’s more confusing– yeah, right! Corner! How we looking on that bread? Fak, watch your back. Corner! Corner! Fak, watch it. No shit deal! Fak…”
“Yeah! Woo! Let’s do this! What do we got going on over here? Alright, I’m interested. Ebra, yo, let’s do this. Oh, come on. Don’t pay any attention. Alright, alright, I’ll start. I’ll start. I’m grateful for Philip K. Dick. Fake, you’re up. Alright, Tina, you’re up. What’s up? Look at you, fucking softy! Nah, bro. This is on you. Yo, Tina, how about these platanos, thought, right? Yeah, really. This isn’t my house, remember? She was just– she was just saying she was…”
“Merry Christmas, Lizards. Sounds like we got a real problem out here. Any of you Incel-QAnon-4Chan… Snyder-Cut motherfuckers wanna get out of line now? Anybody? Yeah. Didn’t think so. Cousin. You alright? So we’re gonna have a little tournament here today. We are gonna be on our best behavior. We’re not gonna scare any of the regulars. We’re not gonna touch ’em. We’re not gonna look at ’em all weird. We’re not gonna do any of that spectral shit! Yes? Good. You’re gonna purchase one Italian Beef combo to enter. Now, this is a single elimination tourney, so you lose, you get the fuck out. No two ways about it. You win… free Italian Ice for a year. Also… also… I hate litter. So, you cucks are gonna clean up after yourself, and you’re gonna goddamn recycle. Fuck you.”
“That we’re not prepped for! I shoulda let those turkeys eat you, Carmy, I swear to God. Today was not the day to go fucking with the system. Hey, I don’t care. I do not care what you do up in Napa with your fucking tweezers and your foie gras. You got no fuckin’ idea what you’re doing here! None! Zero! So we are gonna stick with what works, and we are gonna fuckin’ make sure we got enough food to feed these fuckin’ dorks. So get your ass back in there, and you make that fuckin’ spaghetti. Sydney… sorry about the gun, babe. I had to get real. Mm… goddamn…”

“Hi. That’s how you say hello to me? Hi there! You smell like this place. Sorry. I just… hate seeing you here. You talk to Mom? I know she’d love to see you. I’ve been trying to call you. You haven’t called me back. Uncle Jimmy wants to buy this place. I know. That’s what I wanted to tell you. No, that I think we should sell it to him. Okay, I was so excited for you to come home. Okay. Okay. No one’s asking you to. Bear. I love you. You’re welcome.”
Neil Fak
“It’s just too difficult. Yeah, homie, it-it’s a Norwegian knockoff of Mortal Kombat. Part of the reason why this machine got recalled in the first place, aside from excessive and irresponsible violence, is it’s just too difficult! It’s a fighter and a fucking scroller. Also, sorry. I didn’t make it to the funeral. I set flowers, and I really hope they looked nice. It’s gonna take an hour. Carmy, you’re bleeding! You’re making me queasy.”
“What does Sweeps stand for? Is that a fucking carrot? Oh my god, that’s a classic sound with these fucking pieces of shit. Dude, he was one of my best friends, but then fuckin’ it got dark at the end… dude, I’m gonna be able to fix this, dude. Deal! Oh, fuck off, man. Dude, always and forever. Dude, he’s the fucking worst. Dude, he’s not a nice guy. He’s just– he’s sad inside. Dude…”
“Oh my gosh. I smell… that looks so good! Let’s go! That’s not nice. That’s not nice. Me?! Uh, I-I’m tha– uh… thankful for my-my cats Ralph. Yeah. It’s just, like, it’s easier that way. Ralph and Ralph.”
Tina
“No, no, no. Puta! Don’t unplug it. You unplug it, it won’t work again. I don’t know. You cut vegetables like a bitch. Jeff?”
“I need my fennel first, Jeff. That’s my pot, Jeff. Everybody know. No ingles. Not system! Shelf? Ah, si. La comida familia. Fuck off. Good. How as the recital? Corner! Did you take my pot, Jeff? System, baby. Yeah, sure. Listen, Jeff. How come your sister don’t come by here no more? Very good, puta! That dude looks like a carrot. They both named Ralph? I’m grateful for all y’all motherfuckers. You can have mine if you change your mind. What? I just never had platanos with, like, grass on it. I didn’t say I didn’t like ’em.”
Ebraheim
“Carmen! Where is beef? Carmen. I need my beef! Then I do onion, then I do potatoes. We have system. Don’t mess up our place! That’s her pot. Carmen! Buzzer! Carmen, there is a girl. Marcus, I say something. You are my favorite bitch. Your mom teach me during sex. Behind! Bottom right side of walk-in. Corner! Carmen, your fault! Say corner! It’s redundant and white, just like you. I bring my own. This looks like shit. I don’t eat pork. It look like pork. Smell like onion under arm. Onion under arm!”
Marcus
“I been telling you for the past two weeks the mixer’s fucked, and I gotta do all this by hand. Plus, Tina keeps messing with temperature in here and it’s fucking up my rise. Tina, I know you speak English. Michael’s system. Oh, your English is gettin’ tight, Zeebs. You kidnap a ship captain? Oh, that’s not cool. I’m fucking with you. That’s how you do it! Yo, this shit looks different. Yo, family! You got like 30 followers, dog. Low on olive oil, Carmen. Spaghetti’s the biggest seller, Carm. That shit was straight-up fire. Yeah, but why? Everybody did love it. Probably should learn how to make pasta, Carmy. Who the fuck is Fak? ‘Cause we just took it out. This the dude from the hot dog stand? Fucking lying. You lying! Come on.”
“What? Right there. Labelled ‘chili flakes.’ Doing it by hand! It’s the mixer. Don’t tell me how to do my job. I mean, it’s clearly a carrot. Do you not know what a carrot looks like? See, it’s all good till it starts making this weird ‘guggugguggug’ sound. Hey, did you know Michael? Coming out soon. Right. Hey, was Richie always an asshole? Mm, yeah. He sucks. Yeah. He never eats. I guess I’m grateful that… Richie didn’t come in here wearing that cologne today that he always be wearing. You know, it smell like a pine tree and shit.”
“Yo, Carm. Check it. Big time. Steam tray. You were right. You can throw down, huh? Heard, Chef.”
Sweeps
“Yo yo yo. After I do my thing in the place. Later.”
“I swept St. Louis three times and had a no-hitter. My real last name is Woods.”
“Welcome back. Yo, Sydney! Try this business. Mm-hmm. You know that’s fire. Mm-hmm. So, how you gonna pass the family test? Delicious or impressive? Word. Word… damn, Sydney!”
