Fishmonger, who apparently is

ambidextrous. -Jake, where did you develop

that amazing technique? -Oh, you

know, just something you pick up out of necessity, at the

Fishmonger... -Certainly is

necessary with what is going on in this kitchen. With

one squirly looking expeditor. -That's my brother, Wyatt!

-And what appears to be a

passed out vagrant on the floor. -Jake Martin, former culinary

wiz kid, is doing it all. -Hi

dad. Are you really going to eat

everything on every plate

that's given to you? Absolutely. Bootstrap even eats

the lemon rind. -Throw on some more hot dog

rolls so they are ready for the

lob rol. -No! Then the toasting will not be

fresh. Is that what we want? -And why did you already pour

that many drinks? -So I can just

throw them on the tray when the

order comes in. But, the soda will get flat. Do

you want to drink flat soda?! Carbination is my department!

This is how we're doing it. -Keep it rolling!

-El rollo, Fernando. Great start guys. Mikail, you

just keep pushing those drink

orders and I'll yell out the tickets.

And Seth, keep cooking like

you've been cooking all day.

You're doing awesome. -Yeah, maybe we could get Mitch

down here to coook instead, huh?

Th. -What? Guys, I'm just saying, it's

about to get real hairy. So,

just take it easy guys. Come on Lindsay, pull it

together! Mitch, we are nothing if we

don't have our objectivity. No. Lindsay?! You sly, old dog, I never

thought you had it in you. Neither did I.

-Hahaha. (cough) -I'm okay.

-John!! Boom! Oh that was beautiful. What did you guys think of this

last plate from the Caped Cod? Yeah, I agree with Bootstraps,

that the crispiness of the

clams just wasn't there. Soggy.

-Delicious, that was delicious. Ah, Wellington, you're such a

sweet man, but the problem is

you just like all food. -I bet you if they fried baloney

you would eat it. -Well of

course I would, that's great

stuff! -Mmm, baloney!

-Yeah. Only one more order remains and

from what I'm hearing, The

Caped Cod has a chance to break the all time record

for speed. At forty-eight

minutes, they're close to

putting out one hundred plates. I mean,

just look at Marcel go. Look at

the way he's breading that fish. It's like

the batter is adhering to every

flick of his French wrist. Marcel, do you think you can do

it? Do you? If you treat the fish well,

they treat you with equal

respect. Do you know what I

mean? Respecting fish, my kind of

man. And Corey has just put out

the last drink orders -Oh, the symmetry!

-Alright guys, one more order

of fish and chips and we are

out. -Fernando, get those fries on a

plate. Lets go! -Is it possible?

Can they do it? Time is running out. -Done.

-Amazing! Amazing! They did it! The record at the Golden

Scallop Championship has been

shattered. Move over in the history books

Salty Salmon, you've just been

beat by the Secretariat of fried fish! I can't believe how well it

went, we cooked so fast. And Corey looked good. Right?

Wearing the cape. Right? Oh Steve, I'm so excited right

now I could practically kiss

you. Well lets get crazy baby. Not too crazy. How we doing, Wyatt? -I think we're too slow.

-Let the food do the talking

baby bro. The Caped Cod is out already?

Sh*t, how is that possible? -Probably because they weren't out all n

-Mikail, you need to put tartar

sauce with the clams, not

cocktail sauce. -The tartar is gross, so much

mayo make them fat. -Tartar with

clams! -Seth, do you need an all day?

-Not from the girl that just

pulled an all-nighter. Seth, what the hell is your

problem? You need to get your

head in the game. You're behind

two onion rings, of course and I need a lobster roll, and

also I need fries on all these

plate. -Okay guys, we need one

platter small clams and extra calamari,

lets go. -Another platter?

Jesus, who made this order? -Probably your boyfriend who

ordered that one. -He isn't my

boyfriend and why do you even care? What,

do you not approve Seth? -Clams!

-Tartar, Mikail! No, the clams burn! I can't even serve this sh*t! They're falling apart out there. I know, they are just so

unorganized. I don't know how

they got into this contest. Championship. They were all

time favorites, Lindsay's been

running a great kitchen for her father earlier this

summer. -Well the tickets are

piling up and that food looks more bland than I thought

possible. Let the food do the talking,

Wyatt. Let the food do the talking,

Wyatt. Come on brother love! Bring it

home baby, bring it home. -Yeaaahhh! -It went amazing, I can't

believe Jake cooked so well, he

cooked hi. -Wyatt got every

single order right. -I think the food might be good

enough. -And it was really

amazing to see someone as worthless as Doug

prove just how ineffective he

could be. -Doug! -Shut the lights, they're coming

in the back door! -Fishmonger!! Great job Fishmonger. Now the

only competitor left, is the

Happy Hooker. This is good, the Fishmonger

beat us too, so they're done. You got a couple criminals and

a derelict, this is great. Good

job there. -Lindsay, we need to slow down.

This is too many tickets. -No,

if you can't handle it then why

don't you just walk. It's not like you're doing

anything anyway. Tension has reached an

unbelievable level in the Happy

Hooker kitchen. When there are knives, hot

grease and an almost impenetrable language barrier,

you have to assume the worst. What's this? Another man is

walking on stage. This is

surely illegal and very

exciting. -Stop! Stop! Stop!

-Only three in the kitchen Buzz. You know the rules. You'll get

yourself disqualified! Seth! Stand up and start

cooking, or I'm going to

personally dismantle every single bear you've ever made.

Mikail! Take a deep breath son. Just put what's on the ticket,

on the plate, or I'm putting

you on the next plane out of here.

Lindsay, sweetie, I love you

but you're doing a shitty job. Now there's no crying in my

kitchen. Lets finish up these

tickets folks! But dad, were going to get

disqualified if you come on

stage. And you're never going to

finish if I don't. And if

there's one thing the O'Hara's

have never done it's to leave a customer

hungry! Now get back to that

line. We're about to do some serious

weed whacking!! I learned that as owner and

most senior member of the Happy

Hooker, what a tremendous

diservice I was doing my daughter by not

criticizing her properly. -It's

like I got my old dad back. You know, the mean, tough guy I

grew up idolizing. -You guys sucked today.

-I know we got disqualified,

but we did serve every customer. -And we served them well.

-And we couldn't have done it

without you. -I know, you guys sucked.

-It's great to have him back. I knew the O'Hara's would never

stop serving you fine people,

even if they were disqualified. Sadly this ends the competition. Eat slowly and fill out your

scoring cards, so we can crown a new champion!

-Eat slowly, Judge? Move over Michael Phelps, the
