Tennille (from season 6): No, I just brought body bags.
Tonight, Hell's Kitchen is once again the place to be in Los Angeles. The restaurant has been redesigned with a stunning balcony above the kitchen that gives those diners a unique view of the action of the kitchen.
[Carries the first order tickets to Blue Kitchen, approaches Gordon] 'Kay, alright! First order, chef!
[Receives the tickets from James] Let's go. [to Blue Team] Okay Blue Team, here we are! First ticket to the blue team: One risotto, one scallop, one squab, one spaghetti!
Yes, chef!
I'm sorry, chef, can you repeat that?
Can I repeat that?
I'm sorry? I-I'm sorry, chef!
Yeah, let me repeat it: Fuck yourself!
Yes, sir!
"Can I repeat that?" Is he (Chino) fucking stupid?
[Gordon walks into the Red Kitchen as he carries the first order for Red Team]
Okay, Red Team! Come here, let's go! [Red Team approaches Gordon] First ticket! Good luck!
Yes, chef!
Two tables away, table four: one scallops, one risotto. Entrée: One New York–
[Interrupts Gordon; Talks to other Red Team member] Oh, one risotto!
[to Elise] Hey, madam!
Sorry!
I'm not gonna shout over you.
I'm sorry.
I've got 10 seconds - a window - to call these out!
I'm sorry. I apologize.
Come here, you, Big mouth, come here. [Puts and bangs the ticket on the table] Call out the fucking ticket. COME HERE! Call out the ticket!
[Grabs the ticket, calls out the ticket to the Red Team] Y'all ready? We need one scallop, two risotto for appetizers!
Back in the red kitchen, Carrie is looking to redeem herself on the fish station.
[goes to Carrie's fish station and takes over] I'll cook the fish, I'll cook it.
But Elise has other plans.
I got it babe. No, I got it. This is my station.
Don't push me!
Thank you.
(interview) Clearly, Carrie is the weaker cook than I am, so I felt like I want to take charge to impress Chef Ramsay.
Why is she (Elise) cooking fish?
I don't know what she's doing. She just came over here and grabbed it, chef. (interview) I mean, are you fucking kidding me? That bitch is crazy.
(to Carrie) What in the fuck is she doing?
I didn't let her cook and she just came here and grabbed it chef.
So I was going to cooking for you because we're all a team, right?
[covers his face] Ugh.
She trying to prove a point.
Elise!
Yes, chef?
[holds a ticket] I got a six top dying for the appetizers! And you're cooking fish!
I'll put the spaghetti up.
(to Elise) You, fuck off. Sit on the chef's table.
(interview; laughs loudly) HA!!!
(to Amanda) What's going, Amanda?
I'm sorry, chef?
WHAT'S GOING?
I have two bass on this ticket, chef, with the lamb.
And a cod.
And a cod?
And a cod.
The cod's not on?
The cod is not on, chef.
What?
I forgot about it.
Oh, my GOD!!
(interview) Amanda, is there anyone home?!
You haven't got the cod on?!
I forgot about it. (interview; laughs nervously) Ugh.
Family night?! Disaster night!
I'm sorry, chef.
[Gordon throws his spoon away on the workstation out of disappointment]
How much time now?
We're waiting on the lamb.
Are you standing there with your hands on your hip while we're trying to put this ticket out?!
No, I'm not.
I better see you cooking something.
(interview) Elise is always yelling at me.
See what I mean?
I'm not going to let her get to me. I know I can cook. I know I'm good.
How long through on the window?
We have one more minute.
Please let's get it up.
Garnish, let's go! Here we go! 30seconds to the window!
Yes, chef.
Where's the bass?
It's coming up right now.
Service. Where's the lamb?
Right here, chef.
Let's go! Garnish please. [sees that the lamb was raw] Look at this. Ah, fuck me. It's raw! (returns to the workstation)
Is it still raw?
Come on.
You guys walking?
No, it's right there. She's got the other one.
You've got to be kidding me, guys!
[touches the raw lamb] Know that- that- okay.
STOP! [letting Carrie out of his way] Leave me alone! [sounding as if he might cry] All of you come here! Look at the fucking state of this!
I thought it looked good.
(interview) I honestly think that Carrie doesn't have all her marbles.
(to Carrie) Why are you doing this to me?
I saw this and I thought it was okay, chef -
"I saw this." It's not even hot, it's raw! RAW! [slams the lamb on the counter] SHIT! [throws the lamb away; calls Gina] Gina - please!
Yes, chef?
Take this... useless brigade... around every fricking table... and I want a sincere apology on the back of your crap performance! Piss off! Every one of them!
[Red team exits the kitchen to apologize with the hungry customers]
Why don't you explain to this table? Did you look all these children? They're all famished.
We sincerely apologize about your entrées. (interview) It was humiliating apologizing to the tables when I felt like it wasn't my fault.
We're very sorry.
We apologize.
We're sorry, we don't have any entrées right now.
[whispering] Wow!
(interview) Yes, we're a team, but you can only do so much when you have a broken leg.
[while returning to the red kitchen] Ladies, our promise it will not happen again, okay?
Ladies.
Yes, chef?
That was the first useful thing you have done tonight. It's also the last. Get out of here! All of you! [The Read Team leaves the kitchen] And hang your heads in shame! Because you absolutely suck! PISS OFF! Embarrassing! And on family night! YOU CERTAINLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN!
Oh, my God.
"Shut it down!"
[Red team returned to dorms after their disappointing performance]
Chef is going to call me out, I'm telling you.
(to Amanda Colello) He's going to call you out, but there's two of you going up. (interview) This could be a great opportunity for the Red team. We can rid of Carrie and turn something negative into a positive.
[Carrie goes to Elise to fight her]
The first time all the food was up there...
[interrupting Carrie] Don't talk to me right now!
No, Elise.
Just wait. Just wait.
I don't want to hear what you got to say. Get out of my face!
Just wait, you can talk to her later.
She can talk upon the chopping block, that's when she can fucking talk. Don't say a word.
No, I'm not going to have you talk like this. Especially to me.
Nobody's here talking to you. OK, let me ask you to a serious question right now: do you take medication?
Elise, stop it.
Because I think that you are living in another world.
Quit acting like this!
You are nothing but a distraction on me. You didn't call anything. You fucked up the whole rhythm of the kitchen, and I knew this was gonna happen!
(starts to get furious) THE FUCK I DID! ELISE, STOP IT! I DID NOT. You know how bad I want this! Stop it!
[talking over Carrie] Yes, you did! Yes, you did! Yes, you did.
Stop it, ladies!
[During prep]
While the Blue Team seems focused and united, in the red kitchen, Elise...
That's all we have?
Yeah, that's everything we get.
That's why I'm putting eggs on there, because it cooks down, like...
Could you stop talking to me like I'm your fucking child?
...has found someone else to agitate.
Whatever.
You need to calm down.
I am calm! I'm just saying...
Yeah, you're always talking back to me, and you don't need to talk back to me. [Carrie smirks]
...seems to have a problem with authority.
I'm here, you're here. Get it straight. Hello?
I heard you.
You're so fucking disrespectful!
[smiling with Krupa] I think this is the first time I smiled all day.
[Elise prepares the sea bass and is about to send it to the pass]
[Picks up the sea bass] Behind you, hot. Coming through, coming through! Sea bass!
[Checks the sea bass with Sous-chef Andi] What's she done to that? [Calls Elise] Elise!
Yes, chef?
Come here. COME HERE! That's right! COME HERE! I've got one bass dry, and one bass raw. Raw! RAW!! Get the bass back in the pan!
Fuck!
(interview) Elise had some problems on the fish station. I mean, I thought Chef was about to kick her out of the kitchen. I was kinda hoping for him to, but you know... [shrugs]
Elise!
Yes, chef.
I don't know what kind of frame of mind you're in, but it's not on a fucking championship performance, let me tell you!
(interview) Elise will never admit that she's wrong. She just stood there with her eyebrows up and just looking. [pouts like Elise]
Who're you going to blame now?
Nobody, chef!
It's about time you looked at yourself in the mirror and took some responsibility!
Yes, chef.
[The Blue Team nominated Chino and Monterray, while the Red Team nominated Carrie and Elise]
I have stepped up my game every service, every challenge, I've gotten better. If you asked my team who they'd rather see leave between me and Carrie, I'm sure the answer would be Carrie.
Elizabeth, if you had to drop Elise or Carrie, who would you drop?
Carrie, chef.
Jamie?
Elise, chef.
Krupa, who would you drop?
Elise as well.
Jennifer, who would you drop?
Elise.
Gina?
Elise, chef.
Natalie [transferred to blue team since previous episode], you were in the Red Team. Who would you send home: Elise or Carrie?
Elise, chef.
No hesitation there. Elise, I did what you asked! I took a vote! Here's the sad news for you: your team wants you out of there so badly, you may be better off.
I can guarantee one thing: I never make same mistake twice. This is my first time on the carpet, (Carrie) this is her second, (Monterray) his second, and (Chino) his third. It is not my time to go yet, chef. I'm not here to throw anybody under the bus.
It's too late! [laughs]
I'm keeping it 100% with you, chef. I can work on my attitude, but you can't give somebody common sense and talent, [points at Carrie] especially when you're 31. I'm 26. I have so much to learn and so much more to give.
Are you done? [pause] Okay. Time for a difficult decision. My decision is... Elise. [everyone on the Red Team smiles as Elise tearfully walks up to Gordon] Stop crying and get back in line.
[Jamie and Jennifer facepalm while Krupa shakes her head]
[Gordon checks on lobster spaghetti brought up by Krupa]
Oh, my God! I'm so pissed off. I can't take it anymore. (returns to the workstation and throws tongs away) ALL OF YOU, COME HERE! AT MY FUCKING SIDE! [knocks his hand on the workstation] (to Elise) What's wrong with that?
It looks like shit.
There's no pasta! It looks like baby food out of a fucking tin! (to Krupa) IT'S DISGUSTING!! [slams the pan down]
Sorry, chef.
From a soupy risotto to fucking spaghetti drowned in sauce!
(interview) Right now, appetizers is sinking the whole ship.
(to Krupa) Hey, you, you! Fuck off upstairs! GET OUT! I can't bear to look at you anymore! GET OUT!
[The Red Team is waiting for the sea bass but still suffers communication problem between Gina and Elise]
[walks to the pass with sea bass] It's hot, chef. Very hot.
Oh, stop - fuck off, will you? [separates the sea bass, sees that it's raw] Aaaahhhh. [returns to the workstation] All of you! Come here! Raw bass! [points at the bass] RAW, fucking bass!
(interview) Oh, my God. Like here it comes.
Anything to say now?!
No, chef.
Nothing at all? Anything to say?! Anybody? FUCK OFF! [smashes the bass as it splatters around the Red Team] (to Gina and Elise) Both of you, fuck off upstairs!
[The Red team have to make the cake for tonight's dinner service for their punishment; Carrie and Jennifer notice some of their teammates slacking off]
Alright, can we have a team meeting for five seconds?
This cake's gonna look like shit, and it's not funny.
Who's laughing? Stop saying that like no one's taking it seriously! (interview) Carrie got a big mouth as always. If she wanna try and get in my face with it, she better back down.
I wasn't saying that I was making a joke!
That's exactly what you said!
No!
You said, "No one's laughing either!" Like, that to other people, makes them feel as though they're not taking it serious.
Okay, I'm not trying to make anyone feel inferior.
I'm just telling you what you said.
Elise, can I please talk for fucking once?!
You don't make me feel inferior. I just don't like how you try to act like no one else around you is taking it seriously.
(interview, impersonates Elise talking) "Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, Carrie! Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah!"
You're a trifling-fuck bitch.
Are you kidding me?
I'm about to show you, bitch!
You don't have to yell at me! I'm right here!
You better get out of my face!
Goddammit, Elise.
Know that! You get up out of my face!
[Gordon notices Carrie adding an old rice into a fresh risotto that she is cooking]
Carrie! Look at me. LOOK AT ME!
Yes, chef.
You're adding the old rice into the fresh rice, just reheating it. I'm watching whatever you're doing.
[responds hesitantly] No, I did a- some- oh- yes- I'll start over right now.
So -
[Interrupts Gordon] (to Carrie) Drop that pan and start over!
She wants to cut corners! (to Elise) And you wonder why I'm pissed off?
No, chef. (interview) That's pretty stupid. My mind was blowing, I was like: "Well, Chef Ramsay sees it from who she (Carrie) is, the weakest of the team".
(to Carrie) I know the name of your restaurant: "Chez Leftovers".
Yes, chef.
Elise!
Yes, chef.
Salad!
[runs to pass] Sorry to keep you waiting.
[checks salad before returning to workstation] Come here! All of you, come here! Hey, look. Look. [pours water out of salad bowl] That's the state of where we are now. [drops bowl]
(interview) I did tell her right before dinner service, I was like, "Elise, you need to drain that salad." [flashback of Carrie telling Elise to drain the salad] As always, she never listens.
(to Elise) Look at me. Why is it in the water?
I... I didn't touch the station. Carrie touched the station. It's in water, I'm gonna drain it.
It's supposed to be drained before we start, and I did ask you to do that.
I didn't—
(to Elise) What section are you on?!
I am on appetizers, chef!
Right, so who's responsible for draining the fucking salad?!
I am, chef! I'm sorry, chef, I'm draining it now!
As usual. It wasn't drained for me.
(to Red Team) Table 31, look at me! The appetizers now, U.S. Coast Guard, yeah? Show them some respect.
Yes, chef.
Let's go.
Jennifer, a minute out?
Yeah, one minute out. We're walking in thirty seconds.
Good. Wow, drive it, Jamie.
Yes, chef! (interview) We have really solid cooks on our team.
(to Carrie) How long on the pizza, Carrie?
How long does it take? About two minutes?
(interview) I mean, with the exception of Carrie.
(to Carrie) What is it with you and pizza?!
I know, chef. I can do this, chef.
There's a pizza on the next table...
Yes, chef.
...and it's not even rolled out.
Rolling it right now, chef.
(interview) Carrie is just so, like, frazzled in her head that she's not even thinking straight, and can't see in front of her.
(to Carrie) Look at me. That's already fucked. [holds up thin pizza dough] When you roll it looking like a pair of fucking knickers... [Elise shakes her head]
I'll start a new one, chef.
Jesus Christ. [throws dough on workstation]
