Hey. Good news, everybody. Now that I'm no longer with Amy, I have an extra ticket to the annual Thanksgiving lunch buffet² at the aquarium³ cafeteria. Who wants it? 好消息，各位，鉴于我跟艾米已经分手了，我有多一张水族馆餐厅的年度感恩节自助午餐票，谁想要啊

Well, you realize you won't be going alone, I'll be there the whole time. Providing fish and pilgrim facts. Can you people hear me? 你们知道不是自己去吧，我会全程陪伴并提供各种鱼类与移民的小知识哦你们听得到我说话吗

Well, we're having everyone over. 我们邀请了大家来聚餐
