Gina Melcher quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Ladies first. What is it?

It is a chicken-fried ribeye with Yukon gold mash and white truffle cream gravy. I actually have a little sugar in there.

Stop. Say that again?

I have sugar in there. That's what my mother always did!

(interview) I do not know who in their right mind would put sugar in mashed potatoes.

Just try it! (interview) Chef Ramsay is going to love it because it's freakin' delicious! It's like an orgasm in your mouth, come on! [as Gordon spits out the mashed potato] Oh, God!

[stifling a laugh] I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh!

That... is disgusting.

(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.

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!

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!"

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.

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!

Oh, come on. [returns to workstation] Stop. All of you, come here. What is that?

It's raw, chef. I just sliced into it.

Oh, really? I'd never guessed. So in front of (Misty May-Treanor and Jen Kessy) these ladies here, this is how we want to perform? Raw bass, overcooked bass. Raw lamb, what an embarrassment.

Sorry, Chef.

Why are you doing this to me? It's like being in a volleyball match and I'm the ball getting pounded.

(interview) I was just like, Oh, my God. It was bad.

Let me tell you something really important: SHUT IT DOWN.

After shutting down both kitchens...

I'd rather send something.

Oui, chef.

Chef Ramsay has Sous Chefs Scott and Andi make the entrées for the chef's tables. And after a disastrous dinner service, [both Red team and Blue team gather in the kitchen while Chef Ramsay is in front of them] Chef Ramsay sums up the evening with one word:

PATHETIC. So therefore, the winning team tonight is... NOBODY. Both teams, think of two individuals that could really make your team stronger... by exiting. [pause] Get out of here.

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.

How long, Gina? [Gina doesn't respond] Talk to your team!

I'm re–I'm ready.

Can you slow it down? I need about a minute and a half on my pasta.

I'm good to go.

Slow it down a little bit. (interview) Gina seemed to be in a rush to try to get things done, but the pasta wasn't ready, so I kept on pushing it back and pushing it back.

I'm walking with the scallops.

Oh, are you? Everybody else ready?

Hold on. Hold, 15 seconds!

[walks to the pass while Krupa continues cooking pasta] Walking with my scallops!

Oh, fuck me.

(interview) It's frustrating that she's not listening to me. She was focused on the task that she was doing, but there was no communication.

Let's go, spaghetti!

Lobster spaghetti coming right now, chef.

You're not—you're not even working as a team yet. Hurry up, Krupa.

[brings the lobster spaghetti to the pass] Chef, lobster spaghetti.

Undercooked! [spits the spaghetti on his napkin] Fuck me. [returns to the workstation and throws his tongs away] Krupa! Taste that! Hurry up! [Krupa tastes the spaghetti] RAW!

I'll give you another one, chef. (interview) Gina definitely screwed me over - timing-wise - and I had no choice but to take it up like that and then take the blame for it.

Gina! Krupa! All I'm begging for is communication! Get it together! Start the table again!

[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!

(Knocks on a counter in the dorm) Let's press the bell, bitch, because we can argue!

Ding!

Don't call me "bitch"!

Don't mess with a heavyweight and you're a lightweight.

You're dealing with the wrong person!

Yes, I'm dealing with a crazy, deranged person!

What a fucking baby.

You need to watch your stuff.

(mockingly as she goes into the bedroom) Eah, she pointed her finger at me about the rFisotto, fuck off! (slams the door shut which causes a roof tile to come loose and hang over the door)

Oh, my God! She just broke the ceiling!

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.
