Gabriel quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Tortellini, what's inside the filling?

It's just a cheese. It's a packaged tortellini. Fresh tortellini.

Packaged fresh tortellini?

That's how it's sold, chef.

Please tell me you used fresh tomatoes.

Uh, they were canned tomatoes. [audience groans; Gordon throws the dish in the trash without tasting]

Come on! That was a joke!

(interview) His whole meal came out of a box. Who does that? You know, you're cooking for Chef Ramsay.

(to Kashia) Congratulations, that was delicious, well done ladies. Next two dishes. Let's go.

(interview) I'm a little insulted. It's not like it's packaged dog food. [under his breath] Fuck it, that's bullshit, bro.

(to Mike) Come here you. What did you just say?

It's the signature dish challenge and Mike from New Jersey has cost the men their first point and now his mouth may have cost him something else.

[Mike stands in silence] Yeah, okay. You got anything to say to me, say it to my face, not my back.

Got it, chef.

Now, fuck off!

Hey. All of you, come here. [pours risotto onto a tray] Soup. Like liquid. Runny liquid. It's so fucking runny, you can't even spot the fucking rice in there. Then here, hey. [points at DeMarco] You as well. What do you think of that lobster tail?

(interview) DeMarco, it just looks nasty.

Shriveled, rock hard. It's like a fucking golf ball! Then here, hey. Scallops come up, beautifully seared.

(interview) I was like, "yes!"

On ONE FUCKING SIDE!! Look. [flips the scallops over] How opposite can one scallop be?

Get a fucking grip. Let's go!

Yes, chef.

Wake up!

(on Gabriel's chicken; finds that it's raw) Oh, my God. ALL OF YOU.

Yes, chef?

[angrily knocks his hand on the workstation] COME HERE. Pink chicken. PINK FUCKING CHICKEN. [angrily throws the chicken away; on Scott's halibut] Raw halibut. And it's cold in the middle.

Fucking halibut. FUCK. [throws his spoon away; Gordon angrily smashes the halibut]

(interview) Scott rushed Gabriel to the pass with raw chicken, but the fish wasn't done. Come on, dude.

(to Gabriel) Do you want to eat that?

No, chef.

Why?

It's raw chef.

Oh, (points to the customers) so they deserve to eat that?

No, chef.

We're going to come back right now chef.

GET A GRIP!

Yes, chef.

Oh, my good God. [returns and angrily throws a piece of chicken on the workstation] Again, chicken that is fucking PINK! [violently slams all the chicken onto the workstation] FUCK!

(interview) Fuck, man.

RAW CHICKEN FOLLOWED BY RAW CHICKEN! All of you, FUCK OFF OUT OF HERE!

(interview) I can't believe this happened. Some people are just idiots. If you cannot work under the pressure on the demands of Chef Ramsay, then go home.

I've got the lamb. Where's the halibut?

The halibut! Where's the halibut?

The halibut is two and a half minutes away chef.

Hey, stop. [drops his spoon] Stop. So the halibut's two and a half, (to Chris) come here you. (to Scott) Hey you, come here you and why you can't talk to him?

Fuck!

(to Chris) I WANT TO KNOW, CHRIS!!

He (Scott) never told me he was slicing the lamb.

No--!

(to Scott) COME HERE YOU! WHAT IS THIS?

No, chef.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot! Hey, hey, hey, all of you! Fuck off out of here! GET OUT! GET OUT!

Fuck!

(interview) We didn't finish a service, not once, not twice, but the THIRD FUCKING TIME. I mean, it's just fucking embarrassing.

Sorry, man. I'm banning DeMarco.

Yeah, me, too. (interview) Right from the get-go, DeMarco's done shit. I mean, you can see a good chef and a shitty chef from a mile away.

Gabriel?

Based off tonight, I did good, Chris did bad.

Mark my words, I'm not dead weight, guys. I guaran-fucking-tee that. (interview) I own everything and anything that I do in that kitchen. I know I could've done better, but Mike, he's poison for the team. Keep DeMarco, keep me, but get fucking Mike outta here! (to Mike) If I'm getting all the elements composed, you're seasoning my fucking fish at this point. And that's all you did for me tonight.

Wait, wait, wait! I gotta say something! Chris wanted to fucking be the first guy to leave!

You know what they say? One person just works in the other. It doesn't, you fucking idiot!

(to Mike) If you don't see me do something, you're my man. You're listening to every fucking order being called out and you're watching what my hands are doing.

Alright, the guy that's cooking is supposed to be cooking!

(to Mike) Both of you are responsible!

Yeah!

But if he's saying that he didn't do it right, you're his fucking backbone!

He's been trying to sabotage our whole team, he sucks so bad!

I think we should send Gabriel up because he did just as much on hot apps as I did on fucking fish.

What?! Are you fucking crazy?! You stood there like a bitch! Just standing there watching him!

That's right. I did.

(to Mike) GO BACK TO THE GROCERY STORE, MOTHERFUCKER! Back to the grocery store, and keep working there, you little bitch!

(to Jason) Fuck you! You loud-mouthed, fucking doughboy bitch!

Oh, really?! You're fatter than me, you little motherfucking piece of shit!

I don't give a fuck!

Seriously?! Fuck you, man!

Come on! Guys, come on!

Jay, Jay! GUYS, NO!!

Hey, hey! Hey, Mike!

(to Jason) You got one shot! One shot and you'll be dead before you even fucking register with your little fucking brain!

(to Jason) Come on, man.

(to Jason) He's not worth it!

He doesn't–HE WORKS AT A GROCERY STORE!

I know, exactly!

(to Jason) You can talk all the shit you want, bro!

Guys, listen! Listen!

That's it, that's done! THAT'S DONE!!

CHICKEN!

Chicken is coming chef! Coming up, behind! Chicken at the pass!

Raw chicken again. Hey! (Slams the table) IT'S FUCKING REDDER THAN YOUR BEARD, AND LOOK AT ME! IT'S STILL RAW!

Yes, Chef.

No, NO! (Slams the table again)

Oh, my God.

I'm done. NO! No!

Come on man, we've got to bounce back, baby. (interview) Jason screwed up two times now. Like, what the fuck are you doing?

In the Blue kitchen, Gabriel is unusually quiet.

Let's go, guys.

Gabriel, I miss your happy humor.

Maybe, a little too quiet.

I don't like this whole quiet thing.

I'm focused.

(interview) Gabriel is just like moping around like, I don't know. I don't know what he's dealing with, but he better snap out of it before dinner service starts.

You seem depressed. You don't seem focused. I don't like it.

What's on your mind, Gabriel?

Do you want me to kiss you?

I don't know.

(standing near the pantry) Gabriel, two seconds please.

(interview) Man, the service hasn't started yet, I'm about to get my ass chewed.

One big concern I have with you is that there's no fightback.

Yes, chef.

When you get in the weeds tonight, honestly you bounce back. You're still in the game. I have not given up on you.

I haven't given up chef.

Nothing would make me happier to see you rise and absolutely nail the service tonight, okay?

Yes, chef.

Let's go.

In the Blue kitchen, Rochelle is ready with her first entrées.

Oh, fucking hell. That is pink.

Well, almost ready.

Rochelle?

Yes, chef?

Pink chicken. Come on, get it back in the oven or a pan! Braise it, let's go! Pink!

(interview) You just do not fucking serve raw chicken. That's just 101.

(to Rochelle) How long on your chicken refire?

I need thirty seconds. Sorry guys, that will not happen again.

Back in the Blue kitchen, communication and teamwork are at an all-time high.

Walking wellington garnish in twenty seconds.

Last table, guys. Salmon, wellington yes?

Yes, chef!

Wellington. (brings her wellingtons to the pass)

Salmon walking behind. (brings his salmon to the pass)

(brings his garnishes to the pass) Walking with garnish.

Two wellington?

Two wellington.

Blue team!

Yes, chef?

All of you, come here!

Hey you guys, come up here.

(interview) Oh, fuck! What went wrong?

Just look at the standard. Seriously, I had some good services in my time in Hell's Kitchen, but nothing quite as good as tonight. That is immaculate. Great job. Well done.

Thank you chef.

Great job, team. (interview) WHOOOO! Best service so far. Holy shit, I called it, too! I mean, I can jump into the Red team tomorrow and have a great service. I can jump back into the Blue team mid-service and have a great service. (to Rochelle) Told you I'd make a difference on your team!

You did!

(to the Blue team) You guys, great job!

Thank you chef.

And Gabriel, welcome back!

Thank you chef. Thank you. (interview) Ohh, I'm so excited, man! I've killed it tonight!

(to the Red team) Red team, I'm disappointed! Kashia, I never taught you to braise salmon ever! Scott, I'm done with raw chicken! Anton, you sunk your team!

This oven here chef is 14 minutes, the other side is 18 minutes chef. [Rochelle shakes her head]

That oven there is the exact same as that oven.

I'm just saying that I should have went there and checked it out myself.

Okay, we can't blame the ovens right now.

I'm blaming the ovens, chef. [Gordon gives a shocked face]

Okay! I don't want to hear any more bullshit about the oven! I want each and every one of you to come to a consensus of two nominees up for elimination. I'm done! Hurry up!

Yes, chef.

Gabriel, let's go.

(interview) Even though I'm nervous, I still feel confident in my dish. [to the judges] Hello. How are you all?

Where's the rest of the lamb?

Yeah, uh...it's roasted rack of lamb. The sauce is, uh...

Can you just stop two seconds? [points to the kitchen] You gotta bring me the rest of the rack of lamb in the kitchen there. [as Gabriel runs back to get the rest of the lamb] Why would you put two chops on there?

I don't get it.

(interview) Gabriel freezes up at the last minute and thinks that he's pressed for time, so he just freaks out and doesn't put anything on the plate.

Why would you not put that on?

I was down to, like, one second. So, it was that one second to cut it or one second to take it off. I decided to make a professional decision and leave it off.

Forty-five minutes.

I understand, chef.

My instructions, every time we enter one of these challenges: Get your proteins on.

Yes, chef.

Should we get straight to tasting and forget the presentation?

[cuts into the smaller lamb chop] The lamb is actually overcooked.

Yeah, the lamb definitely does look like it's overcooked.

(to Gabriel) Did you slice and then re-sear?

I had to, chef. [Gordon facepalms] I put it back together, but I put it in, and then when I pulled it out, it...that's what I had.

Gabriel.

Yes?

That bit you left off...that we can't judge is cooked perfectly. And unfortunately, I'm struggling to give you a one.

Yes, chef.

Thank you. Back in line!

Yes, chef. [the scoreboard shows Gabriel at zero points]

[exhales deeply] Wow. Right now, I'm not too sure what I'm gonna put on the calendar.

Oh, fucking hell, man. All of you, STOP!! Hey, HEY!!! Come here! QUICK!! The one table I begged for absolute perfection, touch that! Look at these here! How can I serve that?! Secondly, it's overcooked! Touch them! COME ON!! [knocks his hand on the workstation] Gabriel! Of all the tables!

(under her breath) Ohh, gosh.

Fuck me, man!

You got it, Gabriel. Don't worry. (interview) Gabriel, this is like Minnie Driver's table. Get it together! (to Gabriel) Let us know Gabriel if you need help.

(to the servers) Go with that please, guys.

Scallops, please!

45 seconds!

Yeah, hurry up you! Eight guests from the Oxfam table have been served, I'm begging you for the scallops!

Yes, chef! Ten seconds! [brings his scallops to the pass] (interview) Please, God. Let me get them alright!

Service, please!

Oh, my God. Gabriel!

Yes, chef?

Why have you got a salmon and a halibut in the same pan? TALK TO ME, PLEASE!

I'm just searing it so I don't--

Come here you! One's braised, one's--

I'm just doing the sear first right now.

I don't want them! One's an oily fish, one's a white fish!

Yes, chef.

They need to be separate!

(interview) Oh, my God. That is like a fucking NO-NO!

Twelve services, we've never done it like that. You are not going to start.

I'm not chef.

One day, if you're lucky enough to open up your own business, then you teach that bad practice!

Fuck, man!
