"Where is my fucking fish? I would never be late. My cooks would never be late. How can the fish guy be late? It's why all chefs are drunks. It's because we don't understand why the world doesn't work like our kitchens."

Makes me cry every fucking time I see it.

One of those shows I keep reminding myself to watch but have failed to do so. Will remind myself again.

Speaking of Natasha Lyonne, I just watched Slums of Beverly Hills for the first time. Good, strange film. Wonderful acting by a wonderful cast: Lyonne, Alan Arkin, Michael Corrigan, David Krumholtz, Marisa Tomei, Jessica Walter, Rita Moreno, Carl Reiner. Thoughtful deadpan comedy/drama with sufficient amount of breasts.

Also learned the word "dingbat" in reference to much of Los Angeles's single family apartment architecture.
