They're rubber. Way, way overcooked.
KKashia
My scallops are up there.
KKashia
I finished it. Bev started it, I finished it.
Just touch them. They're rubber! They're bouncy! [throws the scallops like a ball on the workstation] They bounce! This is the worst opening night in the history of Hell's Kitchen! GET OUT!
I cannot stand the embarrassment any longer. Shut it down.
[Gordon checks on risotto brought up by Simone]
All of you, come here! Grab a spoon, come on! [knocks his hand on the workstation] Hurry up and taste that! What does that need?
There's no butter, there's no richness and it's just bland. (to Nicole and Simone) Can you make risotto now?
(to Simone) You, yeah? Fuck off!
Come on, Nicole. Two more risotto, let's go.
Walking with the risotto, behind. (brings her risotto to the pass)
(interview) I'm a little concerned about Nicole stepping up because of her attitude and her unwillingness to be a team player.
I hope that shit is okay.
[checks Nicole's risotto; finds that there's no lobster in it] Where's the lobster? Nicole!
Come over! Two lobster risotto, where's the lobster?
It's my fault chef. I didn't put enough for two, I put enough for one.
Get some energy, or both of you, get out of here. Okay?
NSNicole & Simone
Yes, chef!
Get involved or fuck off home!
[Kashia and Beth bring their entrées to the pass, Gordon checks them]
(on Kashia's wellingtons) Wellington's cooked beautifully.
Hey, don't dare start celebrating. Let's get that right.
Half the table's missing, Beth and Bev!
The two B's! (gets a piece of halibut) Just touch how firm that is. Just a dry, just flaky mess. Dry fucking mess. [throws the halibut on the tray]
KKashia
(interview) Beth's got to pull it together, she want to be here.
(disgusted) Oh, fuck off.
(interview) I'm not stupid, I know how to cook fish.
(to Beth) Re-fire two halibut!
Oh, my God. All of you, come here!
This is brought by your captain! It's just raw, solid, pink halibut. You can't even rip it apart.
(interview) How stupid you look when the captain of our team brings us raw fish. She's just way over her head.
Melanie, are you done? Have you given up?! ANSWER ME!
I'm not going to tell you one more time, cut the bullshit! Or go home! Good night!
[Kashia brings her scallops to the pass]
[finds that there's only 14 scallops] I'm short one.
You're short of one. Yeah, fuck me. Kashia!
KKashia
(interview) Uhm, I'm having a brain freeze.
KKashia
Three times five 15, chef.
KKashia
I'm sorry about that chef.
(to Scott) Scott, get me a scallop on!
Yes, chef! Right now! Give me a minute and a half, chef!
KKashia
One salmon, you have to walk with that welli.
And while Kashia hustles her salmon to the pass,
Wellingtons, where are they?
Ten minutes left on those two wellingtons.
Anton appears to be in no particular hurry.
Is there any way you guys can talk to each other? She's [Kashia] running over the salmon, (to Kashia; points to Anton) he's fucking ten minutes away!
(interview) What do you do when there's no protein? You're standing there and waiting to get cursed out some more because that's all you can do. These two men, they suck!
(goes to Kashia's station and returns her salmon) Hey, here's your salmon. You cooked them properly this time, unfortunately, you're miles away.
Thanks to Anton, Kashia must sacrifice her perfectly cooked salmon and cook another one. Meanwhile, back in the Blue kitchen...
[while cutting her wellingtons] Oh, I think I need a bread knife.
(goes to Rochelle's station) Wait, Rochelle.
Rochelle's wellingtons have caught Chef Ramsay's eye.
(interview) Oh, crap! Please, please be perfectly cooked. Please be cooked at all. Do not be blue or purple inside.
(slicing the wellingtons) Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
You've never worked in a professional kitchen on the line before you come here?
You cook like you've been working in a kitchen for five years.
Oh, thank you chef. (interview) To be complimented by Chef Ramsay, I mean for him to take me seriously as a potential candidate for a head chef, [brings her sauce to the pass] Walking with my wellington sauce. (interview) that blows my mind. It really does.
Rochelle, that's beautifully cooked.
Back in the Red kitchen, Kashia is ready once again with her salmon.
KKashia
[brings her salmon to the pass] Two salmon.
Two salmon, two fucking wellington!
But is Anton ready with his beef wellingtons?
I need two wellingtons cut.
Wellingtons, are they ready to go?
They're sitting right there, cut them off for me, please.
(slicing the wellingtons) Shit.
(slicing another wellington) That's overcooked too, man. Those are all over.
Those are my two newest. I've got a replacement.
I'm checking! There are some of them that are over chef! I'm working on it right now!
(interview) It was like a little wellington cemetery tonight for sure. Like, you know how expensive those things are?
(goes to Anton's station) Stop! All of you, stop! Anton, these are not a little over.
That's way over, yes. Obviously, I screwed it up with the oven. Next door's oven, I got it down bad, this one I screwed it up.
(interview) I just don't understand making an excuse for an oven, or whatever. I mean, it doesn't matter.
Normally next door, it's 18 minutes, five minutes on the side. I let it rest for another five minutes--.
Stop yelling at me! I've told them it's 14 minutes. Done, that's it.
I understand that chef. (interview) Don't think I'm going to let some little girl get into my face and start ripping a new ass, because you got issues on being a woman in the kitchen. (to Sous-chef Andi) I was just saying that this is way overcooked.
(interview) You will not break me and I'm going to just going to piss you off more on purpose.
Anton, fucking pull it together!
I have it together, chef!
[angrily gets into Anton's face] DON'T YOU FUCKING TALK BACK TO ME!! DON'T YOU EVER TALK BACK TO ME!
I'm not talking back to you!
YES, YOU ARE! Pull it together! You're fucking doing this on purpose!
KKashia
(interview) He crossed the line. She's in charge. Unh-unh, you don't do that. You don't even rock like that.
Shut up and say "Yes, chef!"
Anton, come here! [throws his spoon away; leads Anton to the pantry]
(interview) Anton's out of control, he's going down in flames.
(interview) I don't see it getting any better for him here.
[angrily slams the door] What the fuck are you doing?! You've got to keep it together!
I do have it together, I have a clear head on it.
But the wellingtons are way out of control! You're not communicating, your head's in the fucking sand, and at this moment now I need you to rise and get it back together!
[After the service in which the Blue team had clearly won]
(to the Blue team) You guys, great job!
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!
