The next morning, the house was a complete disaster after the insanity of the night before. Vinny walked around surveying the damage and shaking his head at everything that needed to be done before his family was supposed to be there.
Vinny, to Mike: "So, since I took such good care of your sister, you gonna help me clean, hmm?"
[Vinny: "We had a crazy night last night, so the house is a wreck, and I got my family coming in today."]
Dani: "I got you, where do you want me to start?"
Vinny, looking around: "Honestly... If you can just do the kitchen, I think I can get most of everything else."
Dani, wide-eyed, looking at the disaster that is the kitchen: "You are so damn lucky I love you..."
[Vinny: "I'm trying to clean everything just to make it look civil. Dani agreed to do the kitchen, but I'm straightening up on the roof, cleaning my room, folding my clothes, you know? I don't want my mom to see my messy room. She'll kill me."]
[Dani: "My mom is a clean freak, it's literally what she does for a living, so I've got cleaning down to basically a science. I don't think Vinny's mom is as... intense, as my mother... but I know I sure as hell wouldn't want my mom walking into this house right now, so we're gonna make sure it's presentable for his mom."]
Jenni groaned at the light Vinny turned on to clean their room, rolling over and trying to cover her face with her blanket
Jenni: "My head hurts."
Vinny: "I got family coming."
Jenni: "What time?"
Vinny: "Probably like 20 minutes. Not even."
Jenni groan, pulling the blanket over her face again
[Jenni: "This morning, I was like, hung over really bad from the night before, so I really just wanted to just be left alone."]
Vinny: "There might be some little rugrats here today too, so just keep it G."
Thankfully, they all managed to get the house in decent enough order and everyone dressed and (mostly) awake before Vinny's family came knocking at the door, and then the flood gates opened.
[Pauly: "Vinny's family come through the door, there's one, here comes the mom, here comes the sister, here comes like an aunt, a cousin, another cousin, then a little cousin, then another cousin. It's like they kept coming."]
[Dani: "You know, strangely enough, it's not that different from when either side of my family gets together - My grandmother's family has like five generations that all live within an hour, hour and a half of each other, and my Dad's family... I've got more tios and tias, and primos and primas than are actually related to me.I think the last family reunion was like 200 people or something."]
[Vinny: "I have a huge family, but only like 10% of them are here, and it still looks like a lot. I got my mom, my little sister, my cousin Danielle, her brother Sal, my aunt Diana, her two kids, and my cousin Danielle's boyfriend David."]
