"I got semolina, seven grain and whole wheat." Fiona walked in seeing Veronica cutting Debbie's hair and Lily by the fridge grabbing a drink.

"You work at a bakery and all you get is bread?" Veronica asked as Fiona set the bags in the counter. "Yeah, fi, we want to sweet stuff, the goods." Lily said earning a chuckle from Fiona.

"Too bad, we got free toast for a week." She said, Debbie sighed wanting to get the sweet things. "Who wants a sandwich?" Fiona asked as both Debbie and Lily raised their hands.

"Me but without the crust." Steve walked in, "how was your wake and bake?

"2:00 a.m. start time. I don't know how Lucia does it." Fiona responded.

''Hey, I got a surprise for you gotta do something about that toilet."

"What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing, if you don't mind squatting above the seat like a Laotian coolie so your ass doesn't touch the water." Veronica explained.

"Did you try and fix it?"

"Hell, no. I just got my nails done." Veronica said as Fiona looked at Lily. "I also got my nails done." She said showing her painted nails to her older sister.

"I got us a room at the Delacroix tonight." Steve said.

"Good for you, who you gonna take?" Fiona asked.

"Where are the knives?" Lily asked opening the drawer seeing it empty. "Carl?!"

Lily received a call from Lip telling her to tell Kev to bring a crowbar over to open a mystery truck.

"Holy shit."

The truck was full of meat seeing Kevin open it everyone went in as they happily grabbed meat for themselves.

Lily tried to go inside but was having a bit of trouble. She felt a hand on her back helping her as she successfully went in. Lily turned around to see who helped her to see that it was Daniel.

"Thanks." She smiled. "No problem." He smiled back as Lily gave him her hand so he could also get in.

"How the hell we gonna fit all of that in there?" Lily asked looking at the refrigerator wondering where they are going to store all the meat they got.

"We can hang it in the garage till spring, hack off what we need." Fiona suggested.

"Rats would get it." Lily said. "Rats won't be a problem." Carl said with garden scissors in hand. "Be careful with that." Lily told him.

"Move, move, move!" Kevin hurriedly walked in with a large heavy piece of meat as he put it on the counter.

"Does Ron Fitzgerald still have that chainsaw?" Veronica asked Kevin. "Yeah, he owes me cause I told his wife he was on his way home when he was actually getting a hummer from some dude." He said making Lily and Lip laugh.

"Let's go Lip." Kevin said. "You guys need help?" Lily asked but Kevin shook his head. "No, but we could use the extra hand." Kevin said as Lip nodded for her to come with them.

"Got more newspapers." Veronica walked in as everyone was either cutting meat or or helping storing it away.

"Oh, I think this cheese expired when Bush was president." Steve said.

"It's supposed to age. It's fine."

"Wait. Who's got the chainsaw?" Fiona asked. "Lip." Lily answered.

"You know, another cool thing about hotels is that you don't have to saw your own meat." Steve said looking at Fiona.
