The narrator coughs and says that he likes marcus so much that he feels like a "younger brother" to him. He tells him that he still owes him money for an agreement they made a few years ago. The narrator tells him to tell him where he wants to go and he'll treat him the way he likes. He'll take whatever he wants. He doesn't understand why marcus would want to eat anything different than what he's used to eating. He says that the smell of the fish stinks and that he doesn1t mind the stench when he eats it. He also tells her that he can cook whatever she wants to eat for her in the future. He explains that he needs to get his "design level certificate" before he can do anything. He wants to learn how to express an "intangible concept" like this.
