Josh Trovato quotes from Hell's Kitchen

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!

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!

Right, Bret...

Yes, chef?

...and Milly, take over the fish!

Yes, chef!

Four minutes, two pork; four and a half minutes, two wellington!

Got it, let's go! We gotta finish this!! (interview) Chef Ramsay's pissed. We have to turn it back around! I'm not losing. I do not want to lose.

(to Nick) What's going, Nick?! Nick, what's going?!

Uh... two salmon, two halibut! Two pork, two wellington!

[shakes his head] Two pork, two salmon followed by two salmon, two wellington!

Heard, chef!

There's no halibut going! [to Josh] What's going, Josh?

Two salmon and...two lamb?

Enough's enough! I have never seen a team so fragmented in all my fucking life! You, you, you, you, you, and you fuck off!

Yes, chef.

James, you and I will finish them. (o blue team) GET OUT!

Yes, chef.

Fuck!

GET OUT!

Un-fucking-believable.

Come on, man! (interview) I feel disrespected, I don't understand it! I ain't never been kicked out of a kitchen in my life!

About time, chef.

[removes lid to reveal...] Guys, it's peanut butter and jelly.

I don't care, I'm hungry. I need something to eat!

I mean... peanut butter and jellyfish.

(interview) What the fuck?! I never even knew you could eat jellyfish!

Get 'em down, and get back in here. Come on!

Fuck, man! (interview) Are you kidding me? Are you crazy?! [as he walks out of the kitchen] Man, FUCK! (interview) I'm not eating that shit, man. I'm good, man.

Peanut butter and jellyfish?

I'm the only one who scored a point, so I shouldn't have to eat it.

Well, we worked as a team. We're all eating it. (interview; claps sarcastically) Congrats. I'm glad you got the point for our team, but you better step up and eat a sandwich.

Egh! (interview) Peanut butter and jelly... fish? It's not good!

I don't feel good.

How's lunch?

Good. It was good. [burps] Oh, God! (interview) It's not good.

Yeah. I bet.

(interview) I don't mind taking control of situations, especially if I feel like I have a handle on it. I got this shit! I got this!

Two risotto!

Stop. Stop! (to Bret) Come here! Bring that fucking pan and bring that pan here! All of you, come here!

Yes, chef.

That's the old risotto that's gone three, four minutes ago dumped into the fresh one.

Yes, it's both, chef.

What in the fuck are we doing?!

(interview) Now we're in trouble.

Cut the bullshit! [slams fist onto table] COME ON, GUYS!

Yes, chef!

(interview) Bret used the old risotto into the new risotto, and you never do that! You can't do that!

My fault, my fault, MY FAULT!

It's alright, man.

How dare I do that! How the fuck dare I do that!

(interview) He likes to think of himself as our quarterback, but a proper quarterback wins, you know?

You didn't go with truffle butter yet, right, Josh?

No, I did truffle butter! You're putting too much butter!

I didn't put butter in it!

You put a lot of butter. (interview) Adam's struggling on the risotto. He's very confused.

Risotto's up, ready to go whenever you guys are good!

You gotta get these hotter! You gotta let this reduce! (interview) Adam, come on, man. It's simple mistakes! What's going on, are you sleeping? Wake up for me!

Where's the risotto?

It's coming right up, chef.

Go, go! This way!

[brings risotto to the pass] Here you go.

Hey, look at my risotto. [holds pan up to show the risotto stuck to the bottom] Look, just stuck! Hey, it's glue! Glue!

I'll put it back, chef!

(interview) Adam better tighten the fuck up. If you can't cook the risotto, you have no reason being in Hell's Kitchen.

Look at it! It's like a fucking clock! What am I supposed to do, hang it on the wall?!

No, chef!

No!

A risotto clock, Joshua?!

I'm sorry, chef!

That was me! That was me, chef!

How long?

Five minutes, chef.

What?!

I just have to put it out right, chef. I'm sorry. (interview) Lamb takes fifteen minutes, start to finish. So we're just fucking waiting. We're waiting and waiting.

How long on the lambs?

This fucking lamb's still not cooked! STILL NOT COOKED!

Come on! Fuck.

How long, two chicken, two lamb?

How long, Brendan?

Two minutes, chef.

STILL TWO MINUTES?!

No. It's one–one minute out.

A minute?! Brendan!

Garnish, Milly, to the window!

Yes, chef.

Milly, I need you to wait another minute. I–I'm sorry. The lamb's just–it's not cooked yet.

So then don't tell us two minutes! Tell us four minutes! Don't lie to us! Don't lie to chef!

Brendan!

Yes, chef.

Did you just shut down the kitchen? Now we look like fucking idiots! I asked for one of you, two of you, three of you to start showing some leadership qualities! NO ONE'S STEPPING UP! WAKE UP!

Yes, chef!

We're gonna go with two more halibut in that pan.

No, they're right here. You only need four there, right? You have two there already done. (interview) Brendan and I are just cooking fish. It's a fucking free-for-all of fish! Fish everywhere! And they're all cooked improperly!

(to Brendan) Hey, can you have two halibut? How long? [pause] Can you just give me something, Brendan? Just something.

Guys, I need fucking help here!

It's falling apart!

(to Nick) No, you gotta help him! He's your partner!

I'm trying to!

So talk to him!

I–I am!

We have to talk to him! It's a team effort!

I'm walking with two halibut!

Fucking lamb, behind!

[checks center of the halibut] Fucking hell. Hey, hey, hey.

Oh my God. Fuck my life.

All of you, come here. I'm gonna go fucking crazy. [separates fish with spatula] Raw. Raw, raw.

(interview) Brendan could not get it in the middle. Either it was overcooked or it was raw. Stop somewhere in the fucking middle and you'll be right!

What is this? [points at Nick and Brendan] You and you, fuck off! GET OUT! Milly, Bret get on fish!

Lamb's coming right now!

Where's the fucking lamb?!

Slicing lamb now! I need a sizzle platter!

(to Josh) Hey, you! Come here, you! Bring that over. [shows Josh the bad platter of lamb] One third of them overcooked, and the center bits are raw. When you slice it and it's not right, wh–wh–what do you do?!

I panic.

You stop what?!

I stop thinking!

You stop slicing!

Yes, chef.

But no, you slice it more? Get out. GET OUT!
