The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBy eight o'clock the Legion is packed with stranded passengers from around the world. Locals swim in the river out back, haul out accordions, and fire up karaoke. Then someone calls a ceremony: make these people honorary Newfoundlanders. The Screech-In is half joke, half initiation. Drink the rum, kiss the cod, or kiss the Englishman you are not married to. Diane has had two beers. Kevin puts his hand up without knowing why. Belonging here tastes like cheap rum and a fish.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passage❝ 尖啸酒的来历
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Screech. Back in World War II, an officer was stationed here and was offered some of this stuff. All the locals were tossing it back with nar' a quiver, so he does too and lets out an ear-piercing… Everybody comes to see what's happened and says… "What was that ungodly screech?"
各位，这就是尖啸酒。 二战那会儿，有个军官驻在这儿 有人请他喝了这玩意。 本地人一口闷下去连眼都不眨， 他也跟着喝，发出一声刺耳的…… 大家都跑来看出事了没有，然后说…… 「那不像人声的尖啸是什么？」
一段战争笑话把酒名钉死，笑声里完成入籍。
