He's not even hungry, to be honest, but that doesn't stop him from pacing around and letting his hands distract him -- probably tea or some shit. Maybe a few biscuits on the side. Comfort food he won't take much comfort in.

[he points to the outer circle of the egg, which has cooked faster than the rest.]
I want you to gently scoot the spatula under a side, then lift it up. After that, tilt the pan in its direction. That way the liquid in the middle can hit the pan and cook. Otherwise you're gonna have an omelette that's soggy in the middle and overcooked at the edges.
