(The Academy decided to talk at a Habachi Restaurant. Once they are all seated and have gotten there food, Five pulls out the Marigold.)

Five: What I'd like to know is how the daughter of some random dry cleaner ends up with a jar of marigold in the trunk of her car. 

Diego: How do we know that's not just a jar of Glow stick juice? 

Ben: Why don't you take a sip and find out, tough guy? 

Diego: I will if you will. 

Lila: Don't even think about it. 

Five: Okay, for the sake of discussion, let's say this is legit. Does anyone here want their power back? 

Klaus: No, siree, Bob. 

Ben: Yeah. 

Klaus: For the first time in my life, I'm sober. And... happy. But most importantly, 100% poltergeist-free.

(Five puts the Marigold back in the box.) 

Allison: Free? You rarely leave the leave. And when you do, you're wearing surgical gloves in public. 

Klaus: Well, at least I'm in control.

Chef: Showtime. 

(The chef starts to cook Infront of them while flipping the utensils as the Hargreeves watch. Diego leans over to Lila) 

Diego: Look at this chump. Angle's wrong. Sloppy form. 

(10 minutes later, the show was over and they all had food. The Hargreeves start clapping.)

Five: Good job, sir. 

Viktor: Nice.

Luther: He is so good.

Viktor: Look guys, it's a hard no for me too. I've got a bar to run, friends. Like, a real life. 

Ben: You're all nuts, all right? We should be mailining this shit right now. 

( he nudges Luther),

Ben: Look, come one, big guy. I know you want it.

Luther: Wait! I mean, that's a tough one.

Klaus: Come on. You don't need that, Luther. Your life is fantastic. 

Luther: I don't know about fantastic, but you know, I'm... I'm managing. 

Ben: Is that where the bar is set these days? Managing? 

Luther: I'll so whatever the group decides. How's that?
