Chestnut Gardens

"Mom hates Chestnut because Dad didn't listen to her about gardening."
"It's bigger than that. It took him so long to find his new path. I don't want him to give up on something he was so excited about."
— Eddie Huang and Jessica Huang

"Chestnut Gardens" is the sixth episode of the sixth season of Fresh Off the Boat. It first aired on November 1, 2019.

Synopsis[]

When Matthew Chestnut returns to Cattleman's Ranch, everyone but Louis agrees that he's a bad influence, leaving it up to Jessica, Eddie and Trent to help take him down; Emery and Evan give Marvin a crash course in feminism and etiquette.

Plot[]

Eddie, Trent & Louis (6x6) — "What bounty has Lady Cattleman's been blessed with?"

Eddie and Trent are handling the shipment of food delivered to Louis Huang's Cattleman's Ranch Steakhouse, discussing the newfound responsibility that has been thrust upon them, with Trent believing he may even get a promotion. Just then, Louis walks in to check what food has been delivered to them, only to find that all the boxes are filled with nuts. The three ponder on what kind of nuts they have been given when the delivery man divulges that they are chestnuts. When Louis asks the man how he knows that, the man replies that it is because he is a 'chestnut', revealing himself to be Matthew Chestnut.

Chestnut apologizes for leaving Louis, but asks to come back. Trent is confused as to who Chestnut is, and Eddie explains to him that Chestnut was Louis' right-hand man before he left to manage restaurant vendors at Dollywood. While Louis initially seems to be angry at Chestnut, facing off against him, he agrees to bring Chestnut back as his partner, reinstating him as a manager. Chestnut then informs them that he left all of their onions in the parking lot under the sun in order to do his chestnut bit, and Louis orders Eddie and Trent to retrieve them, much to Trent's chagrin, who claims that his chances of being promoted to manager are over.

Eddie Huang (S6E6) — Eddie complains about Chestnut to Jessica

Eddie returns home and complains about Chestnut's return to Jessica, only to be surprised when Jessica tells him to sit down and that she would love to hear about his problems. She explains that it is a technique known as LIEing, LIE standing for Listen, Identify, Encourage, that she read about in her Teacher Administration book. She listens to Eddie's problem about Chestnut returning to Cattleman's, identifies that he's upset when Eddie says that Chestnut is bossy, and 'encourages' him to suck it up when he states that Chestnut's rule about not eating ketchup or mayo packets is unfair.

Jessica (6x6) — "I 100% support whatever you choose to do, as long as you 100% support yourself."

As Eddie walks off, Louis approaches Jessica and gushes about Chestnut's return. Jessica mentions that she always liked Amy Chestnut, only for Louis to inform her that Chestnut divorced her. Louis adds that with Chestnut assuming managerial duties, he can focus on finding the next chapter of his life, which he thinks is gardening. To his surprise, Jessica tells him that she supports him 100%, and even suggests that he take it a step further and start a community garden.

Emery reads The Vagina Monologues — Emery reads *The Vagina Monologues*

Emery is reading The Vagina Monologues on the couch complaining about the sexism in manufacturing women's pants when Evan approaches him and asks why he is reading a book on "V-word speeches." Emery explains that he is reading the book in order to identify with women so that he could be more believable in his role as Lady Macbeth in the school play.

Emery & Evan (S6E6) — "Well, I think it's great you're not conforming to the traditional maternal role that society thrusts upon women and are actively choosing to vacation from the domestic sphere."

Honey then enters the Huang home to ask the boys for a babysitting favor. While Evan initially assumes they would be taking care of Maria and Liza, Honey clarifies that she wants them to babysit Marvin, citing that since Marvin's retirement, his constant presence at home has become a bit much for her. Emery commends her for not conforming to the traditional maternal role, which confuses her, and she asks if they would go on a boat ride with Marvin, to which Evan agrees.

Trent & Eddie (6x6) — "We're gonna have to send a rescue team to get this guy outta your dad's ass."

At Cattleman's, Louis is holding an employees meeting where he discourages hiding rubber snakes in the fire extinguisher, despite being the culprit responsible. When Chestnut cites that Louis owning up to his mistake makes him a good leader, Trent makes a snide remark about Chestnut being "up Louis' ass."

Eddie suggests that they implement a suggestions box so that employees can anonymously share ideas, which Louis initially considers until Chestnut states that at Dollywood, Dolly Parton did not have a suggestion box as she had two ears to hear any suggestions. Louis then shuts down the idea, informing his staff that they can talk directly to Chestnut regarding any questions or concerns. Louis then dismisses them so that he could go home and work on his garden, and Chestnut walks away with him to discuss the garden.

Marvin, Emery & Evan (6x6) — The boys go fishing

On the "Angela" boat, Marvin is telling sexist jokes to Evan while Emery vomits into the sea, claiming the insensitive jokes in conjunction with being seasick is making him hurl. Marvin talks about catching a big fish so that Honey can make fish tacos for him while Evan adds that his girlfriend Sicily can microwave a mean fish stick, and that they should meet. This upsets Emery, who asks whether they think it's the man's job to bring home the bacon while the women's role is to cook it. Marvin replies that Honey handles all the food and groceries for the household and that all he wants to do is catch a big fish. As Emery throws up once more, Marvin tells him to 'man up' while Evan adds that he should 'grow a pair', and Emery becomes infuriated at their sexist remarks.

Eddie & Jessica (6x6) — Eddie and Jessica discuss Southern sayings

Eddie is reading Dolly Parton's biography in the kitchen at home when Jessica enters. Eddie explains that he is reading the biography so that he could get ahead of all of Dolly's sweet sayings that Chestnut says, having reluctantly accepted that Chestnut would be staying in. Just then, Louis enters the house and Jessica commends him for deciding to garden in a suit like a rich man. Louis, however, tells her that he will not be gardening since Chestnut convinced him not to and instead retain his focus on the restaurant.

As a result, Jessica teams up with Eddie and Trent, using Jenny's old room as a "war room" to discuss how to take down Chestnut. Since she told Louis that she would support him 100%, she cannot talk to Louis directly and instead decides to conspire with the boys to get Chestnut to leave, citing that he once left for Dollywood and may once again leave if the right offer comes his way.

Evan & Emery (S6E6) — Emery and Evan discuss sexism

In their bedroom, Evan is discussing Jane Austen while objectifying her with antiquated, sexist terms when Emery calls him out for talking akin to a 1945 radio show. Evan does not find a problem in his language, in using terms such as 'baby doll' or 'man up' or talking about women's "peepers," but panics when Emery retorts that if it isn't such a problem, he would call Sicily and discuss her peepers. Evan then admits that perhaps the language is problematic but that he cannot help himself, claiming that it just comes out of him after spending time with Marvin but that he does not wish to stop spending time with Marvin. Emery then declares that they would just have to change Marvin and modernize him, which Evan states is a tall order as he still refers to Germany as Prussia.

Eddie & Trent (6x6) — Eddie and Trent seemingly trick Chestnut

Jessica, Eddie and Trent head to Cattleman's, with the boys sitting at a corner table while Jessica approaches Louis and Chestnut. Reminding Louis that she supports whatever he does wholly, she asks him to take her to see the new griddle in the kitchen while alerting Chestnut to Eddie and Trent's suspicious behavior. Chestnut then approaches Eddie and Trent, who unconvincingly try to hide an application form to a Tony Roma's restaurant, one that has full benefits including dental. Chestnut asks who the manager is, and Eddie, panicking, tells him that his name is Donny Worthington. As Chestnut walks away with the fake application, Eddie gleefully announces that Chestnut 'totally fell for it', while Trent claims he remembers nothing as he was entirely in character.

Marvin, Emery, Evan — Emery and Evan try to change Marvin

Emery and Evan head to Marvin's house to notify him of his antiquated notions towards women. Marvin tells them that he treats women with class and respect, but that he's from a different generation and believes he's earned the right to tell people to 'grow some balls.' Maria then echoes the word "balls", and the boys see that she is wearing a bikini shirt while playing in a toy kitchen. Evan points out that she's too young to be focused on a bikini and having a nice summer body while Emery notices that her kitchen has been outfitted with a digital clock, claiming that it is to make sure the woman would have dinner ready when the husband came home. Realizing he needs to be a more sensitive father, Marvin asks the boys to teach him. Retreating to Emery and Evan's bedroom, the boys talk him to him about a doctor who has a son and a husband, asking him to solve it. When Marvin is confused, they tell him that it's because the doctor is a woman, which leads to Marvin asking who the nurse would be.

Feminism — The boys teach Marvin modern etiquette

The boys continue to coach Marvin. When Marvin opens a door for a woman, he tells them he failed and that they should just give him a construction hat and teach him to wolf-whistle, but Emery tells him that he can open doors for any woman he wants so long as he does it out of kindness and not because he thinks they're too weak to do so themselves. Evan adds that the mere fact that Marvin is questioning his behavior is a win in itself, only for Marvin to ask whether the doctor scenario they presented earlier could in fact be two gay dads instead of a female doctor.

Eddie, Trent & Jessica — The trio celebrate their assumed victory

Jessica, Eddie and Trent are toasting their assumed victory with lemonade when Louis enters, upset about not being able to trust anymore. Jessica assures him that he had no idea Chestnut would abandon him once more, but Louis reveals that Chestnut did not; instead, Chestnut informed him of a fake application Eddie and Trent gave him to lure him away, with the manager being "Donny Worthington", the name of the author of Jessica's Teacher Administration Book.

Jessica Huang (6 — Jessica tries to diffuse the situation

Eddie apologizes to Jessica, citing that he panicked and that she never addressed a manager's name during rehearsal, revealing to Louis that Jessica was involved. Trent then excuses himself and Eddie to retreat to the latter's bedroom to allow Jessica and Louis to argue privately. Jessica explains that she wanted Louis to be able to pursue what he wanted and that Chestnut was a name chaser, but Louis reveals that Chestnut came to him with ideas and had improved past ideas as well, divulging that the community vegetable garden idea has evolved into a German beer hall garden instead.

Sexism — "But the jar is stuck, so I'm gonna need you to reach into your purse, find your testicles, and open it."

At the Ellis house, Honey takes a jar of mayonnaise out of the fridge but struggles to open it. As Marvin, Emery and Evan enter, Honey thanks the boys for returning her 'jar opener' and holds out the jar for him to open. Coached by the boys, Marvin tells Honey that she is a strong, independent woman who doesn't need him to open a jar. However, Honey tells him to 'reach into his purse' and 'find his testicles' so that he could open her jar, and when he struggles to do so, adds that he should 'hike up his prom dress', asking Marvin if he is on his period when he fails to open it. Emery and Evan are shocked at Honey's words, with Emery flabbergasted that the sexism came from Honey and not Marvin himself.

Jenny (6x6) — Jenny reveals Louis grew the garden

Next door, Eddie is pouring orange soda in beer steins as practice for Cattleman's new beer garden, and both he and Jessica decide to pin the blame on Trent for their actions. They then notice Jenny at the kitchen table, eating freshly grown tomatoes. Jessica asks her where she got the tomatoes from, and Jenny replies that she got them from Louis' garden. Jessica states that Louis did not go through with the garden idea due to Chestnut, but Jenny reveals that Louis still went through with the garden idea by outsourcing the task of growing and tending to the fruits and vegetables to her.

Emery & Evan (6 — "Sometimes you gotta judge a book by its cover. Or else you never would've bought *The Vagina Monologues* in the first place."

In their room, Emery muses how he knows nothing about women and how he made an assumption that the sexism in the Ellis household came from Marvin because he was an older male, and expresses his worry about judging books from their cover. Evan, adding that men such as Harvey Milk, Elton John, and Freddie Mercury, were great men who never understood women, and that sometimes one must judge a book by its cover, claiming that Emery would not have picked up The Vagina Monologues otherwise. Emery agrees, citing that it was a good thing he read the book as he learned valuable lessons. Evan tells him that the mere fact that he is questioning his behavior is a win in itself, asking him if that sounds familiar, echoing back to what they told Marvin. Evan then tells Emery that his feminism has managed to spread throughout the house, having seen a magazine on vaginas in Eddie's room, albeit covered in plastic.

Louis & Jessica (6x6) — Louis hears Jessica discuss his failures

Jessica heads to Cattleman's to see Louis so that she could tell him something that's not easy for her to say. Louis assumes she is going to apologize to him, knowing that she cannot bring herself to apologize easily, but is instead stunned to hear Jessica say that he was the problem, and not Chestnut. She tells him that Chestnut didn't make him quit the idea of the garden, and that he chose to do so himself, much like how he quit the idea of being a barber or a tour guide driver, and that failures are what he's good at. Upset, Louis tells her that Cattleman's is not a failure, and Jessica agrees.

Jessica & Louis (6x6) — Louis is suggested to be a business consultant

She informs him that his strength is in getting new ideas off the ground and then handing it off to others, like giving the reigns of Cattleman's and the backyard garden to Chestnut and Jenny, and that the seeds he plants are idea seeds. Louis realizes that he's an "business farmer", which Jessica refers to as a business consultant, and she tells him that the vocation is perfect for him and that she would support him entirely. She then tells a now relieved Louis that he already implemented a good idea in assigning the garden to Jenny as it would get her used to be in dirt, discomforting him.

Chestnut Gardens — Eddie and Trent perform a folk dance

As Cattleman's beer garden, dubbed Cattlehaus Biergarten, officially launches, Trent tells Eddie that Chestnut is growing on him. Chestnut, working the beer taps with Louis, then approaches the boys carrying multiple beer steins. Eddie, in surprise, asks Chestnut how he can carry so many at the same time, having struggled with the weight of two steins himself, and Chestnut mirthlessly retorts that he built up his arm strength crawling out of Louis' ass, hearkening back to Trent's comment during the employee meeting. He then tells the boys that they're up, and the pair dress up to dance to Bavarian folk music on stage. While Eddie is humiliated, despite performing with a smile, Trent joyfully tells his friend that he has never felt prettier.

Quotes[]

Trent: It's nice your dad's trusting us to handle shipment day alone.
Eddie: My dad's trying to find a new business venture, so gonna be more responsibility coming our way.
Trent: A promotion, a parking spot, control over the bathroom code... 69-69. Yeahhh.
Eddie: Yeahhh. Your uncle's birthday – June 9, 1969.
Louis: Ooh, shipment day! What bounty has Lady Cattleman's been blessed with? What are all these? Walnuts?
Trent: Brazil nuts?
Eddie: Deez nuts?

Eddie: Well, Chestnut's back, and it sucks.
Jessica: Please sit down. I would love to hear about your problems.
Eddie: Wait. What's happening?
Jessica: I'm LIEing.
Eddie: Nice. Hey, everyone, I have a funny mom.
Jessica: No. It's a technique from my Teacher Administration book. Listen, Identify, Encourage... LIE.
Eddie: I'm not sure how any of that's gonna help with Chestnut coming back to Cattleman's.
Jessica: Listening... You have a problem.
Eddie: He's back one day and already bossing us around.
Jessica: Identifying... You're upset.
Eddie: And he's making all these new rules, like "Delivery personnel cannot eat ketchup or mayo packets." How am I supposed to make Thousand Island in my mouth?
Jessica: Encouraging... Chestnut's not a problem. Suck it up.

Louis: Well, Chestnut's back, and it's awesome.
Jessica: I always liked his wife – Skinny, angry, thrifty.
Louis: He divorced her.
Jessica: Of course he did.
Louis: One woman's trash, another man's treasure. With him running the show, I can finally focus on finding the next chapter of my life. Now, I know I've tried a lot of stuff, and this is going to seem silly, but I think I've found my next thing... Gardening.
Jessica: Oh, I think that's a great idea.
Louis: Really? I thought you were going to say "Oh, hell no," or "A gardener is a hobo wearing gloves," or "Cucumbers attract pedophiles."
Jessica: I am fun, but no, I'm actually glad you found something to be passionate about, and I want to support you.
Louis: Wait. Is this another one of your schoolbook techniques? Are you LIEing again?
Jessica: No. I just know how much you've struggled to commit to your next big thing. If you want to garden, then garden. I 100% support whatever you choose to do, as long as you 100% support yourself.
Louis: Wow. I really appreciate you having my back on this.
Jessica: But if you're gonna do it, do it the Louis way.
Louis: I have a way? I didn't know I had a way.
Jessica: Well, you like helping people. So instead of vegetables in the backyard, maybe you start a community garden.
Louis: That's actually... a great idea.
Jessica: One small request.
Louis: No cucumbers?
Jessica: Pedophile candy.

Emery: [reading The Vagina Monologues] Can you believe that women's pants don't have length measurements? What are they, all the same height? Sexism!
Evan: Uh-huh. And why are you reading this book about V-word speeches?
Emery: So I can identify with women to be more believable in the school play as Lady Macbeth. You got a problem with that, Mr. Man?
Honey: Boys, I'm glad you're home. I have a small babysitting favor to ask you.
Evan: We'd love to watch your girls, get all that precious baby time in before their breath turns.
Honey: No, not them. Marvin.
Evan: Sure, but if you want us to take him on walks, that's extra.
Honey: I love him, but now that he's retired, he is home all the time, and it can be a little much.
Emery: Well, I think it's great you're not conforming to the traditional maternal role that society thrusts upon women and are actively choosing to vacation from the domestic sphere.
Honey: Uh, okay.

Louis: So, while we all laughed when rubber snakes came out of the fire extinguisher, don't do it again. I know I'm scolding myself.
Chestnut: Owning his own mistakes... Sign of a good leader.
Trent: We're gonna have to send a rescue team to get this guy outta your dad's ass.
Eddie: Don't worry. We got this. Hey, boss, quick pitch. What about a suggestion box? That way, employees can safely share their ideas on how to run the restaurant, like a bulletin board for swapping shifts or take-home mints at the host stand.
Trent: Or well-defined department boundaries, with particular focus on newly rehired managers who may not realize things have been working just fine for the past year and a half!
Eddie: Reel it in, dude.
Louis: Hmm. Suggestion box. That's a good idea.
Chestnut: You know, back at D-wood, Dolly used to say she didn't need a suggestion box 'cause she walked around with two big ones. Her left ear and her right ear.
Louis: Oh. Ears. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Eddie: Well, looks like we're stuck with this doofus.
Trent: He's got that divorced-man energy. We can't compete.

Marvin: So, then the Italian says, "I didn't report my credit card stolen because the thief spends less than my wife." You got your sea legs there yet, Emery?
Emery: It's not the boat. It's these jokes that are promoting grotesque and insensitive... I'm also a little seasick.
Marvin: What'd he say? I just want to catch a big, tasty one, have Honey whip up some fish tacos. I tell you, that woman is a savant when it comes to cabrilla and cabbage.
Evan: My girlfriend, Sicily, microwaves a mean fish stick. They should meet.
Emery: Wait a minute. Are you both implying it's the man's job to bring home the bacon and the woman's role to cook it?
Marvin: Huh? Bacon? What? No. Honey handles all the groceries in our household. I just want to catch a fish big enough that can eat a license plate.
Evan: Mm.
Marvin: Oh, come on, Emery. You gotta man up.
Evan: Yeah, Emery, grow a pair!

Jessica: We all have a common goal, so I suggest we join forces. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Eddie: Wait. I'm your enemy?
Jessica: My new friend.

Evan: Jane Austen sure can spin a yarn.
Emery: Right? And as a female author, she had to fight the double standard.
Evan: And look at those beautiful blue peepers. What a dish. Rowr.
Emery: What's gotten into you? You've been speaking like a 1945 radio show all afternoon.
Evan: What are you talking about, baby doll?
Emery: "Baby doll"? "Man up"? Earlier today, you commented on the weather lady's "gams."
Evan: Oh, please. You read one book with the V-word in the title, and you're gonna lecture me on feminism? I support women. I literally decorated my room with one – Brandi Chastain.
Emery: You only have that because you got the tingles when she ripped her shirt off. Objectifier!
Evan: Everything's a daytime drama with you.
Emery: Oh, yeah? If you really don't think it's a problem, why don't we call Sicily, comment on her "gams"?
Evan: No, no, no, no, no, no! God, no! Maybe you're right. I guess when I'm around Marvin, all that stuff just comes out of me. But I don't wanna stop hanging out with him.
Emery: Then we just have to change him.
Evan: Tall order. We're talking about a guy who still calls Germany "Prussia."

Marvin: I appreciate your concern, but I treat gals with class and respect. I'm just from a different generation. That's all.
Evan: We know you are. We just want to make sure you don't offend anybody.
Marvin: Hey, guys, I was an outdoor boot model for five years, so I think I've earned the right to say "Grow some balls" if I want.
Maria: Balls!
Evan: Bikini? Training her early to be focused on having a hot summer bod?
Emery: Wow, a real digital clock for the stove. Someone won't be burning the roast when husband comes home.
Marvin: Dirty dog. You guys are right. I have to learn some of this new stuff so I can be a more sensitive father. Teach me.

Evan: A father and son are in a car accident and are sent to separate hospitals.
Marvin: Mm.
Emery: When the boy is taken in for operation, the doctor says "I can't operate because he's my son." How's that possible? It's the boy's mother. The doctor's a woman.
Marvin: But then who's the nurse?

Marvin: Uh, I know. Give me a construction hat and teach me to whistle. I failed.
Emery: No. Open the door for any woman you want, as long as you don't treat her like she's helpless.
Evan: The fact that you're thinking about this is a win.
Marvin: Hey, back to that doctor joke... Are you sure it's not two gay dads?

Trent: I'd like to raise a glass of powdered lemonade to new friends and bonds that can never be broken.
Jessica: That's enough.
Eddie: Chestnut was drooling over that fake job. I bet he's telling Dad he's quitting right now.
Jessica: Then Louis will see him as the opportunistic weed in his garden of dreams.
Trent: Whoa. Next time, you're toasting.

Jessica: Well, I thought with Chestnut gone, you would focus on your passion again. You were so upset when you didn't have one. I didn't want you to go back to that.
Louis: And you thought giving him a fake application to Tony Roma's would solve that?
Jessica: He bailed on you once. I thought he would do it again. He's a name chaser, Louis... Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton... Donny Worthington.
Louis: The only name Chestnut cares about is Louis Huang. He didn't come to me to quit. He came with a bunch of ideas to respond to the new competition.
Jessica: So those are real glasses. They're not "dumb person playing smart person" glasses.
Louis: Yeah. He even took my garden idea and improved it – A beer garden. Now we're gonna spend every waking minute making it the best Asian-owned Western steakhouse German beer hall run by an Irishman in Orlando.

Honey: Hey, boys. Thanks for returning my jar opener in one piece.
Marvin: Honey, you are a strong, independent woman, and you don't need me to help you open up that jar.
Honey: Aww, sweet pea. I'm glad you feel that way.
Emery: Yes!
Honey: But the jar is stuck, so I'm gonna need you to reach into your purse, find your testicles, and open it.
Emery and Evan: Whoa.
Emery: All this sexist language didn't come from Marvin. It was coming from Honey all along?
Honey: Come on! Hike up your prom dress! What, are you on your period?! Come on!

Emery: I know nothing about women.
Evan: Don't beat yourself up. A lot of great men never understood women – Harvey Milk, Elton John, Freddie Mercury.
Emery: Turns out I'm the one who's biased. I need to take a long look in the mirror.
Evan: That's what you always do – 20 minutes fixing your hair, one air kiss, and two finger guns.
Emery: I made an assumption that all that sexist stuff came from Marvin just because he's an older guy. Oppressor. And a narcissist. What if I can't turn this off? What if I'm just someone that always judges a book by its cover?
Evan: Sometimes you gotta judge a book by its cover. Or else you never would've bought The Vagina Monologues in the first place.
Emery: You're right. And I never would have learned such valuable lessons.
Evan: As long as you're thinking about it, it's a win. Sound familiar?
Emery: Wow. All this time we thought we were babysitting Marvin, he was babysitting us.
Evan: And your feminism's spreading through the house. I saw a V-word book in Eddie's room, too. But it was a magazine and sealed in plastic.

Jessica: There's something I have to say to you, and it's not going to be easy.
Louis: Well, thank you. I appreciate you–
Jessica: Chestnut wasn't the problem. It was you.
Louis: That just turned so fast.
Jessica: Chestnut didn't make you quit your garden. You did that on your own, just like you abandoned being a barber and a tour guide and a horse photographer.
Louis: Well, the last one was an allergy thing, but thanks for bringing up all my failures.
Jessica: You're welcome. Failures are what you're good at.
Louis: Oh, I love you, too. And Cattleman's is not a failure.
Jessica: I wasn't talking about Cattleman's. Cattleman's is great. Louis, think about it. You come up with something great, and then, when you get bored, you hand it off and then you come up with your next new thing, like when you gave the garden to Grandma.
Louis: Well, her wheelchair is perfect for aerating the soil.
Jessica: Mm-hmm. I was right to support you. You are a gardener. You like to plant seeds – Idea seeds, business seeds.
Louis: So I'm a business farmer.
Jessica: A business consultant. You get new ideas off the ground, and then you move on to the next thing that excites you. It's perfect for you.

Eddie: Besides a couple of blips, Germany had a pretty fun culture.
Chestnut: Guten Tag, mein fraus.
Eddie: Whoa. How are you carrying that many?
Chestnut: Oh, I built up my hand strength crawling out of your father's ass.
