“Cousin Richie”, one of the most relatable characters on “The Bear”. A 45 year old cook who is just trying to find peace, and his identity in the wild world of the culinary industry. We like him because he’s hurt and most definitely flawed. But he’s still trying.

Here are some of his best lines from “The Bear”

(of course we’re leading with this)

“I’m not like this because I’m in Van Halen. I’m in Van Halen because I’m like this.”

(Before the ball breakers tournament holding a gun in front of raucous crowd)

Merry Christmas, lizards Sounds like we got a real problem here. Any you incel, Qanon, 4Chan, Snyder-cut motherfuckers wanna get outta line now?

(On the phone)
“I love you. And Eva, I love Taylor Swift too, I just needed a break, you know?”

(Interviewing Fak)

“F*** your vibe”

“I run a timely ship and I get back to my assistants and cohorts in a timely fashion.”

“Do you have any special skills or abilities, aside from being a f***** stroke?”

(Hyping up Fak at The Bear soft opening)

“I can’t do this…But new world order pal.”

“I can do respect)

(After he wears suits)

(To Carmy)

“I don’t understand why you just can’t let something good happen to you for once in your f****** life.”

“What kind of a****** puts ketchup on a hotdog?”

(Arguing with Carmy with Sydney refereering)

“Those flowers were elegant as s***”

“Sorry Syd. Sorry, just textbook sublimation. You seen it once, you’ve seen it a thousand times”

Richie: (pointing to list of non negotiables) “What’s this a**?”

Richie: “Mmmhmm, You know I gotta say that some of these suggestions, I would have suggested. But when it does come to something like vibrant collaboration, I mean that can get f****. Right?”

Richie: “I insist that you get f**** my good man.”

(To customers)

Richie: “We’ve prepared a beautiful menu for you tonight but just in case, are there any allergies or dietary restrictions, or things you really don’t feel like eating.”

(Arguing with Carmy)

“I’m getting f*****. You’re f***** me.”

(Delivering his own non negotiables)

“I’m getting drilled out there. I’m writing some f***** non negotiables.”

“Joy. Just in general. These are very deliverable. These are very easy. Open heart, open mind. Basic decency. An environment that embraces and encourages razzle dazzle and the dream weave. Very defensive. I see you. I see you. F****** b****.”

(Delivering a birthday dinosaur while Carmy protests)

“Yes, f***** surprise! Get the f*** out of the dream weave, Carmen!”

(Defending Fak after the broth incident)

“Keep my man out of your mouth. You’re not fully integrated. Don’t talk to me until you’re fully integrated jack*ff.”
