Gordon quotes from Hell's Kitchen

From Hell's Kitchen Eight: Russell!

(interview from Season 8) I chose the team that I wanted and I thought they would help me win, and I'm definitely going to black ball you guys, because you guys fucked me so royally.

Russell, good to see you.

Good to see you, Chef.

Welcome back.

Thank you very much.

Christina Wilson

(interview) I remember Russell for sure. What a fucking ass. I don't care what station he's on tonight. I hope it burns down. I hope he goes down harder than anyone on that team.

Away now, first entrée: One arancetti, two filet, one chicken parm! (to Dana) How long?

(pause) I need six minutes.

Let's go!

(interview) I'm focusing on searing the hundred orders of filet that I have coming in. It's a lot of meat, so I'm a little concerned. And by a little, I mean a lot.

[to Dana] Stop! Stop, you! Stop! All of you, come here! (shows everyone Dana's burnt pans) Come here. (to Christina) Talk to me. What do you think?

Christina Wilson

Obviously, the pan got too hot, chef.

(to Barbie) Go on then, "chef."

It's burnt, chef. (interview) Dana has two filets, and they are black as night. Everything in the pan was black.

Oh, fuck off, the lot of you, WILL YOU?

(interview) FUCK! I should've just thrown them out!

(shows Barbie the capellini) What is that? What is that?

(mumbling) I don't know, Chef...

(turning away in disgust) She's not even answering me.

It's the crab.

Hey, you. Come here, you.

This is how bad it is: One capellini and one risotto away. And I've got a ball of capellini. And it's over two portions there. You don't know what you're doing anymore. I've got too much capellini and not enough crab.

Yes, Chef.

You stupid idiot!

Yes, Chef.

You've given up! Look at me: I beg you to go home! I just don't get it! I-I just honestly do not understand what the [kicks the bin] FUCK IS GOING ON!!

That was an amazing service, you know that. That was amazing. Really good job.

Christina Wilson

Thanks so much, guys. Seriously.

Really good job indeed. And on the back of that, I'm changing things: For the first time ever, I've decided to do away with the whole two-door thing, because I'm ready to decide a winner. The winner of Hell's Kitchen is... Tavon.

Christina Wilson

SHUT UP!

I KNEW IT!

[Looking at Dan's dish] OK, uh...seriously? Did you throw up on that plate? [audience "oohs"] Let's go back 45 minutes.

OK.

What is it supposed to be?

Eggs Benedict with a champagne hollandaise sauce, sourdough bread, heirloom tomatoes, and sautéed spinach.

And how did you make the hollandaise?

Uh, I used whole butter. If it's good enough for Julia Child, it's good enough for me.

Julia Child would be turning in her grave right now if she saw that. (tastes) It's fitting that you made this in Vegas because whoever eats that is sure to get the craps. Let me tell you. That is a joke.

We will stop at nothing to complete a service.

Sorry, chef.

Oh, come on, JP. [Mary smiles]

(gasps) Jean-Philippe!

(interview) Oh, my God! JP? Where he has been for three years?

I told you to be here yesterday.

Got delayed. I really tried to be on time.

Get changed, JP. I'm fucking pissed off. Honestly, unreal.

Fucking Jesus. All of you, come here. Let me show you a little waterfall. [tilts the plate]

Oh, my gosh.

Just touch them. Cold, overcooked.

Switch up scallops, guys. Mary, do you want to do scallops?

I'll do 'em.

No, I want to do scallops. Somebody else has got to do risotto. [Nedra gives a shocked face]

What do you mean?

(interview) Oh, hell no! Gina, don't throw me under the bus because your shit ain't right. (to Gina) How long on scallops?

(interview) Nedra, just fuck off.

You've got some good color on there. Don't burn it.

(interview) This bitch couldn't cook a scallop to save her life. I know that Chef is about to find out.

I've got the scallops ready.

Go Gina, you got to go.

Walking scallops, chef.

(interview) Mmm-hmm. Good luck to you, Gina! (brings her risotto to the pass) Risotto, right behind you chef, hot.

[checks Gina's scallops] Aah. Hard! All of you, come here! [gets a scallop and flips it like a coin; throws it on the workstation] I guaranteed a complete service tonight. You can't even hold it together for the second ticket. Get out, Gina.

Taste that. How hot is that?

Spicy, spicy.

(returns to the workstation and spits pasta out) All of you, taste that! It's too spicy, and it's disgusting! [throws his spoon away on the workstation]

(takes capellini away) Trash.

And again, scallops cooked beautifully.

(interview) What the fuck is going on? It's like déjà vu in this motherfucker.

(to Zach) How many times have you cooked scallops tonight and not served them?

Twice, chef.

Sorry, bro.

Sebastian, get it together!

Yes, chef!

Come on guys, let's go.

Okay, Mikey-Wikey. (interview) I messed up a few times, but I'm getting in with the groove, I'm playing around, trying to make the environment a little bit looser.

Zacky, talk to me.

(to Michael) We've got three halibut, one branzino.

Zacky-Wacky! [Gordon hears this]

(to Sebastian) Hey, you! Hey, come here, you. “Zacky-Wacky?”

(trying to correct himself) Chef Zach!

Hey, look at me. Hey, look. Is this a fucking joke?

No, chef.

“Zacky-Wacky?!”

Sorry, I apologize about that, chef.

Yeah, do me a favor. GET OUT!

Yes, chef.

Fuck off, will you? Get out!

Yes, chef.

Upstairs, GET OUT!

(interview) So Sebastian gets kicked out. Who didn’t see that coming?

(still thinking about it) “Zacky-Wacky?”

What are you doing? [Sebastian shushes him]

(interview) Where the hell are you going, Sebastian? Okay, yeah, you can come back.

Second time! GET OUT!

(interview) God, are you kidding me?

Fuck off! Wacky!

The blue team is now down a chef - and it's up to Jon to handle the appetizer station solo.

I need two minutes, please.

Lamb! Come on, Michael! Bit of energy!

[brings his lamb to the pass] Yes, chef.

[checks the lamb; returns to the workstation] Terrible. And embarrassing.

Oh, God. (interview) Fuck, it's coming back.

Timeout! Stop!

Fuck!

The bone, thicker than the fucking meat.

(interview) There needs to be meat on there! This is not a fucking dog's chew toy! This is lamb!

And if that's not bad enough... [Shows the wellington, which is cremated]

Fuck!

...they're way overcooked!

Horrible. Fuck!

(interview) Michael and Barret, dumb and dumber!

You don't slice the wellington until the lamb's ready.

Yes, chef.

And when it's together like-- (sees Sebastian) Oh, you!

Chef, can I please come back, chef?

(interview) Dude, really? What are you doing? Perfect fucking timing!

You, you come here, you. You're making me look stupid.

No, chef.

The blue team, one hour into service and not one entrée out. You (Sebastian), for the last time, take him (Barret) and him (Michael)...and get out! And let me tell you something, you come back downstairs again, you'll be leaving through the front door. Now GET OUT! Three of you! You (Ray), on meat.

Yes, chef.

You (Anthony), on meat.

Yes, chef.

Oi! GET OUT!

(interview) Now I'm pissed off. I didn't do anything to get kicked out of this dinner service. (angrily throws his apron)

Ladies! Touch them.

Hard, chef.

(interview) Oh, my God. That's my garnish.

Who cooked them?

I did, chef.

Yeah, you, get out! Get out!

[under her breath] You're kidding me.

Hey, madam, you think it's funny?

No, no, no!

Yeah, take your shit with you.

(interview) I know this is not funny. I don't deserve to be kicked out of the kitchen. Danielle does. She was the one bringing the station down.

Danielle, don't stop the redo, hurry up! After that, two chicken, two wellington.

Two chicken, two wellington. Yes, chef. Sorry, chef, I'm confused. Do you need the one for the redo and the two chicken and two wellington or do you just need the two chicken and two wellington?

GET OUT!

Fuck!

GET OUT!

(interview, sad) It's just really hard, and it's a lot harder than people know. (exiting the kitchen) FUCK!

Three halibut, one bass, one chicken. Come on, guys!

Yes, chef.

(interview) I'm looking at Jeremy sautéing off kale. I can see the kale literally catching fire, getting burnt!

Chef, turn that down some, chef.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, don't even serve that.

I'm not. Worry about your side, let me do my side, yeah?

(interview) Motherfucker, what?

Hey, no territory bullshit!

(interview) It's my station, and I don't need his help. So shut up and do what you're supposed to be doing.

Un-fucking-believable.

Can we go with three halibut, one bass, one chicken?

Seven minutes to the window.

(to Jeremy) What are we going with?

Two--two halibut, one chicken, chef.

Three halibut!

Three halibut, one chicken, chef.

Three halibut, one bass, one chicken! What are we going with?

(starts stuttering) The three, sleep, the three, three halibut, the two, two, uhh...

(interview) Jeremy, he's telling it to you! Just say it right back, man! Pretty sure birds can do that!

Three halibut, one bass, one chicken. What's going?

The three halibut, two f..., two, uh...

GET OUT!

(interview) Bye-bye, Jeremy! [laughs, Jeremy throws his apron as he leaves the kitchen]

[sees Jacqueline drinking water] What are you doing?

I had to get my water, chef.

Get out!

(under her breath) Alright, whatever.

Get out!

(interview) Chef Ramsay told me to get out. I'm like, alright, I'm going to go upstairs and rehydrate myself!

Oh, man! [returns the risotto to the work station] [to Jon] Look at that there, stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Fuck, man!

[to Jon] Jon, take Dan and yourself, and get the fuck out of here! [Jon and Dan leave the kitchen]

(interview) When somebody gets kicked out the kitchen, they put more pressure on the next man. (in the kitchen) Whoo!

[to Ray] Raymond, taste that! [Ray tastes the risotto with his bare fingers] Fingers, spoons are everywhere.

Bland, chef.

(interview) Ray, you just stick your finger into a risotto in front of Chef Ramsay in Hell's Kitchen. That's just stupid!

[to Ray] You may be the oldest, but out of respect, FUCK OFF!

Yes, chef.

You got to be shitting me. (interview) Blue Kitchen tonight is like being in the middle of a natural disaster. [to Anthony] My fucking heart is beating. (interview) I'm not feeling good right now. It's getting hot. I start feeling pressure.

[to Zach] You good?

I gottta just - I gotta just breathe, homes.

Risotto?

[brings up the risotto] Risotto, chef.

(to Anthony) Just taste that.

Fuck!

Yeah, fuck.

(interview) Fuck!

Get out! Get out!

Excuse me, chef? I have something to say.

Please, Gina.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be staying here for this challenge. I'm going to be leaving.

You happy to throw the towel in so quickly?

I have some personal issues; unfortunately, I have to.

I'm not going to stop you. Please go back up to the dorms, pack your stuff, and leave Hell's Kitchen.

Thank you, chef.

Bye, Gina.

Man, right on the team challenge, this stupid bitch backs out. Bitch, you going to back out doing of a competition? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. That bitch folded like a piece of wet paper towel.

What is that? Fucking muppets! All of you. All of you. All of you!

Yes, chef!

Taste that! Hurry up, Jessica! Haven't you got time to piss around! I mean--.

Yes, chef. Coming through.

What's the first thing you taste?

White wine chef. (interview) Come on, Mary. Get it together. That's basic shit.

(to Mary) How much wine did you put in?

I put in just a few squirts chef.

So you'll have to reduce it down!

Yes, chef. Yes, chef. (interview) Ugh.

Get a pan on, start the risotto. Come on!

Yes, chef.
