Gordon quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Halibut garnish!

Halibut garnish is coming! (to Aaron) Let's go! Wellington's in the window!

Beautifully cooked.

Thank you, chef. (to blue team) Come on, guys! We need those two halibut!

Right now, right now!

Let's go! (interview) Like, seriously, Aaron? Get your shit together! I am putting up meat that is perfect.

[sees Aaron running to the pass with halibut] Fucking hell. Come back, John, please. [separates the halibut and notices they're both raw in the center] Hey, blue team!

Yes, chef.

Fuck!

Raw halibut in the middle there...and raw halibut in the middle there.

Aaron, you got two more, right?

(to Aaron) You got two more?

Oh, fucking hell.

Move, move!

The fuck? (interview) Aaron is just a fucking wreck! [to Aaron] You don't even know what you're doing, man! (interview) That bitch can make desserts, but that's it! (to Aaron) You lost it. (interview) Fuck him!

Aaron, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?

Actually, chef, as much as I'd love to run a restaurant for you, [Sade looks surprised] I'd love to be a Michelin-star chef and I don't think winning Hell's Kitchen is actually gonna get me any closer to my goal. [Roe raises her eyebrows]

This is unbelievable. [Bryant raises his eyebrows]

It's... it is what it is. [Fernando shakes his head] I'd like to be master of my craft before I have to teach and lead it.

Why have you come to that decision?

I've never been pushed this hard to realize that the things I do not know. [Sade looks puzzled]

Wow.

For me, [Bryant turns his head to Aaron] I need more education. I'd like more education. [Roe shakes her head]

I think you would've learned a lot more here [Aaron lowers his head] and you're not willing to fight for it [Aaron shrugs, Sade shrugs, and Roe rolls her eyes]. Yeah I'm not gonna waste my time with you any longer. Give me your jacket please.

Hey, man [handshakes Aaron]. Good luck. [Santos shakes his head]

[handshakes Gordon and surrenders his jacket] Thank you for the education, chef.

Good luck.

Thank you. [exits the building]

Disappointing.

(after being eliminated) When I first came to Hell's Kitchen, I wanted the Executive Chef spot, but this is one of the hardest things I had to do in my life, physically, mentally, emotionally... It's ten thousand times more difficult to cook in Hell's Kitchen than it is in any other situation.

Blue team, they're (Red team) plating!

Yes, chef!

I'm ready to plate, guys! Ready to plate! Come on!

(interview) Both kitchens have to deliver at the same time, but everything has to be cooked to perfection. That's it. That's all he wants. (to Santos) In the middle, okay? Make sure you get in four per pan!

We're good?

No! We don't have enough. (interview) We are so screwed right now. It's going to take a very long time to re-fire.

Fucking hell. Ran out of fucking risotto. How many portions are we short? (to Fernando) Hey! Tell me, please!

Two short.

Two short?! [throws spoon; to Fernando] Hey, you, come here! You've ran out of risotto. [to the rest of the Blue Team] Hey. Hey, stop. Stop! We're not serving until we're all together!

Yes, chef.

They deserve to be served AT THE SAME TIME!

Yes, chef.

We are not serving this course until we're all together!

Come on, Fernando. How long?

Give me a minute.

Alright, hurry up. (interview) Come on, Fernando! You're supposed to be an executive chef. You should know a little bit better than that.

Red team! RED TEAM!

Yes, chef!

Four scallops cooked properly, and one raw.

MAN!

One raw! Hey, do we need to change stations?!

(interview) That's a good idea.

(interview) Of course.

(interview) Hell, yeah!

(to Gordon) NO!

At this stage, it's driving me MAD! You're not learning from your mistakes! Just stop! I've had enough. All of you, get in there and have a meeting, will you?!

(interview) Come on, Sterling!

It wasn't a bad service, but it wasn't the kind of service I was hoping to get. But there is one thing I am sure about. [brief pause] Sterling. Step forward. [Sterling walks to Gordon] Sterling, you have been a phenomenal, relentless competitor... but I know that you're not ready to be my next head chef. Okay?

Yes, chef.

[hugs Gordon] That's what's up, man. Thank you!

And let that be a reminder of what you've achieved in this competition.

Thank you so much!

Listen, continue cooking.

I will, chef.

You will always be 100 to me. Time to head up to the dorms and pack your bags.

Yes, chef. This has been the greatest opportunity of my life, man. Can I hug everybody before I go?

Whatever you want.

Alright! I'm gonna miss y'all!

I'll miss you, too, Sterling.

(interview) 100 is no longer part of Hell's Kitchen, but I learned a whole lot. I was all happy-go-lucky at first... (to Roe) Hey, have a good time, okay? (interview) Some of the other chefs told me I didn't deserve to be here... (to Gordon; before leaving the kitchen) Thank you, chef, for the opportunity! I love you, man! (interview post-elimination) It made me come back even stronger. I had to make myself better and I did that. And on top of that, I got too many wins in challenges. I'm a leader, and it took me coming all the way to California to realize that. I might not have won Hell's Kitchen, but I got something that nobody in Hell's Kitchen have never accomplished—I got Chef Ramsay's heart!

[to Monique when he is tasting her signature dish] Tell me about the marinara sauce. I want to know how you made it.

It's just from a jar.

So you didn't even make the marinara sauce?

No! (interview) I don't think there's anything wrong with canned sauce. Unless you're from fucking Italy, and you're like born as an Italian, you're not gonna be making your sauce from scratch all the time. [to Gordon] No, if you wanted it, you should've just told me! I would've did it!

Oh, I've got to tell you what I want?

Yes!

(interview) Who the fuck uses jarred tomato sauce for Chef Ramsay? Who does that?!

Mo's pasta, one out of five.

Okay, got it.

[as Chrissa describes her signature dish] What in the fuck is that?

That is ginger-crusted chicken. I was in the cookie aisle, and I was trying to get ideas, and the ginger cookies...

Ginger cookie-crusted chicken breast?

Yep, that's what's in there.

[laughs along with the audience] I'm glad you were inspired in the cookie aisle and not the fucking pet food aisle! [takes a bite of the chicken] Aw...

Oh, really? [as she sees Gordon spitting out the chicken] Oh, no. Oh my God, really?

That is hideous.

Sorry!

One out of five.

(interview) I'm not really used to people spitting out my food, so it was very embarrassing.

The fuck is that? [brings the scallops back to the kitchen] Hey, all of you, come here. Hurry up!

(interview) This isn't going to be good.

Just touch them. Just touch the top of them. Look at them. Look, look. Look. So, we've got fucking colour on one side, and boiled the next.

Yes, chef.

(interview) Stupid mistakes, Michael. We're on our first ticket. We've got Chef Ramsay up our ass. This is not a good sign!

The sad thing is he [smashes the scallops with his hand] FUCKS two portions as well! Young man, you need to know, you are not at the fucking senior home!

Yes, chef.

One more like that, and you can fuck off back there!

Yes, chef.

Tonight!

Yes, chef.

(interview) I don't understand it. We've been in this business our whole lives. They're fucking scallops. It ain't rocket science.

[after cutting into lamb prepared by Monique] It's really rare. Monique, it's really rare. Screw it, back in the oven.

That shit's not even hot! Put that in the fucking convec(tion) oven! Are you kidding me?! (interview) I open the oven, and I'm expecting, like, a facial, and it's nothing.

Our oven is not hot for some reason.

It's not on!

It is on.

The oven's off! (interview) Monique, are you fucking kidding me? Your goddamn oven is off, and you're cooking lamb. Are you like...are you high?

(to the red team) Lamb!

Chef, we're bringing it up. Pork?

Got it. You following me?

Yes. Right behind.

Right behind!

Ladies! ALL OF YOU! COME HERE!!

(interview) Fuck! Really?! Like, again?! Oh my God! This is not happening!

Raw lamb and dry pork! Like pork jerky! Look at it! RIDICULOUS!! [throws spoon up before walking out of the red kitchen] Aw, FUCK OFF.

(to the red team) Lamb!

(to Monique; as she brings the lamb to Gordon) Behind you, Mo.

I've got the lamb! Where's the pork?!

I need these two right here.

One, two, three, four, five, six chefs on meat!

Pork is fucking raw.

Is it raw? Stop! Stop! Bring me the lamb, please!

(interview) We started off strong, and then the meat station! It's like a ship out at sea, the pirates came and fucking capsized that bitch!

So you bring me the lamb and the pork's raw?! Now, I'm taking it personally! I need you to do one more thing together as a team. GET OUT! GET OUT! It's such a fucking joke! PISS OFF!

(to Michael) What are you reading through there? What are you—

I'm just going through it in my mind, chef.

This, [rips up menu] you don't need.

Yes, chef.

You do not need that. Look at yourself in the mirror, and scream risotto ingredients.

Risotto ing-!

Number one, what is it?

Oil, chef.

Rice, you fucking pillock.

(interview) Michael's kind of just a hot mess.

If he doesn't know what's in a fucking risotto, we're screwed!

(interview) Hey, Mike, I like you. It's nothing personal, but everyone knows you're the weakest chef here.

Beet salad.

Oh my God! MICHAEL!

Yes, chef!

What's the beet salad for? It's not even on order.

(interview) What?! [chuckles] Michael, what? What are you doing?

(to Michael) It's like you're cooking for imaginary friends! It's not on order!

(interview; sighs)

Is it just to look busy?!

No, chef. I–I heard, chef. I made a mistake.

You heard it? You got little voices in your head?

Yes, chef.

Let me put one more in there. [whispers in Michael's ear] WAKE UP!

Yes, chef.

Now fuck off!

How are you on risotto, Milly?

I'm two minutes out on this risotto!

Holy shit! I don't know what's going on.

(interview) Cameron is confused already.

Scallops! Where are they?! [turns over the scallops Cameron brought to the pass] Oh my God. [to the blue team] Hey, all of you! All of you! Come here! Come here, come here! First table of the night, I've got raw fucking scallops!

They're not seared on both sides.

Who cooked them?!

[raises his hand] I did.

Do they deserve that?!

No, chef. Definitely not.

Our first table!

(interview) Cameron wasn't even flipping the fucking scallops over! I couldn't believe it at all!

(to Sous Chef James) First table, James! Let's start it again!

Great. (interview) I just looked like a fucking idiot there, man. I dropped the ball.

(to Cameron) Watch. You're frying them in fucking too much hot oil, yes.

Yes, chef.

Thirty seconds each side!

(interview) Chef Ramsay, when he's in the kitchen, he's very, very intimidating.

Shake the pan, gently! And then out! Clean pan, let's go!

Yes, chef!

Fucking hell!

(interview) It kinda throws you off.

Hey! Was that so hard?!

Yes. Thank you for the—Yes, chef!

First ticket!

First ticket, give me...fif—twenty seconds, please. Twenty seconds!

(interview) I don't know what the fuck is going on with Cameron.

(to Brendan) Help me!

I got it.

(interview) He was going crazy! Like, literally scared of the food or something!

SCALLOPS!

You guys, keep calm, okay? (interview) I'm cringing right now thinking, "These have to be perfect." They have to be perfect!

Fuck me!

Nope. Coming back.

They're fucking rubber! (to the blue team) HEY! HEY, STOP! ALL OF YOU!! All of you, fuck off! Come here!!

Yes, chef!

(interview) This is–this is not good. He's gonna kick us all out!

What is going on?

It's my fault.

What the fuck is going on?

(interview) He can't cook a scallop! One side, gorgeous! The other side, nothing!

They're fuck–just touch that!

I see it. It's my fault. I'm sorry.

(interview) Fuckin' ridiculous!

Have a fucking meeting here, one minute on your own, and GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Heard, chef.

(interview) Chef Ramsay, just seeing him angry, it's horrific! It's the scariest thing I've ever seen! [laughs] It's terrible! (to Cameron) Hey, brand new! Brand new! Brand new, right now! LET'S GO! [tries opening the door] There's no handle.

There's no handle on that door, so they can't get out. [Sous chef James laughs along with Gordon]

Have you two got this?

Yes, chef. (interview) I need to fight back, you know? I want to show Chef Ramsay that I'm sorry that I gave him shit!

Two scallops, Michael?!

Yes, chef!

Where are they?

Hey, hey, hey! Stop! STOP!! (to Michael) What did I ask you to do?

Scallops, chef.

The scallops aren't even in the pan, right? And look. I got the dressed salad!

(interview) Michael, we are going down in flames right now because of you!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO! I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FUCKING GO!!

Let's go, boys! We have to come back! Come on!

(to Milly) Fuck it, I got it.

You sure?

I got it! (to Gordon) Scallops at the window.

[flips over scallops and sees them raw underneath] Ah, fucking hell. (to blue team) Hey, hey. STOP! [points at Brendan, Cameron, and Michael] You, you, you, come here.

Yes, chef.

The rest of you, continue cooking.

Yes, chef.

(to Michael; while handing him the scallop tray) Take that.

Yes, chef.

...and fuck off out of here.

Yes, chef.

GET OUT!
