[After a disastrous dinner service in which both teams lost, the Red team has already nominated Lovely and Tennille for elimination, and the Blue team is about to nominate two of its chefs]
Blue team. Joseph: let's be honest, that's a pretty sorry battalion you got there, isn't it.
Who's the first nominee for the men?
They can speak for themselves but they know who they are.
Hey smartass, I asked you to tell me. Who's the first nominee, and why?
No problem: Tony, and Andy.
Listen... I know you may be slightly stupid. First nominee and why?
First nominee and why? Tony. He knows why. We sat down as a group and they wouldn't pick each other. You know. No peer pressure! We're men!
Just, just just - what do you want, a fucking medal?
What do you want me to fuckin' say? What do you want me to say? They know who they fuckin' are. We chose as a group and they stand out and they said they belong there. Stand up, they know who they are.
[approaches Joseph] Listen, you chippy idiot. I asked for one nominee and why, plain English. And you're mouthing off, and you couldn't answer me. Now can you just tell me, in fucking plain English, the first nominee, and why he's nominated. Is that fucking clear?!
Thank you! [walks back] Unbelievable! One simple request, who and why, and you make a big fucking song and dance about it!
I ain't no fuckin' bitch, chef, I don't give a fuck. I ain't no bitch.
He's trying to bring the best out of you. You got to look past it.
He's not bringing the best out of me.
ACAriel Contreras
Yeah, show some respect.
Shut your fuckin' mouth is what you should do right now.
I'm talkin' here. I don't give a fuck about you. I didn't come here for you.
You want to be an executive chef, Joe?
You signed up to fucking learn and grow, and...
Yeah, shut your fuckin' mouth.
Okay! Answer the fucking question!
You keep talkin' like this, I'll have you out in the fuckin' parking lot! I don't give a fuck. What do you want me to say?
I ask the fucking questions, YOU give the fucking answers!
[takes off his jacket and walks out of the line] Fuck that shit, dawg. I ain't here for that! [approaches Gordon and tosses his jacket at him] You want the fuckin' jacket? You want to talk some shit? Let's go step outside, mo'fucka! [gets in Gordon's face] I ain't here for that, dawg!
Ladies, ready. Scallops here, Chef.
Let's go. You've got no color on the scallops. Shit. Tennille! I've got no color on the scallops. Look, they're boiled.
(to Tennille) That happens when you put too much oil in the pan. They end up marinating themselves, ok?
(interview) Suzanne likes to Hear. Her. Self. Talk!
There's too much oil in the pan.
(interview) She needs somebody to smack her in her face and tell her to shut the hell up.
What are you doing with them now? You can't put the same ones back in the pan! Oh my god.
YOU CAN'T PUT THE RUBBER ONES BACK IN THE PAN!
Just forget about that one, Tennille. Here, give that to me.
(interview) You're talking to me! You're talking to me!
ACAriel Contreras
Tennille, how you doing?
(interview) Get out of the way, and let me cook my food!
Can you do it? Or shall I do it?
You ready? On those scallops? How much longer?
ACAriel Contreras
Tennille, how long?
Tennille, if you sink our ship, I'm going to be pissed.
Fuck! What are you doing? What are you doing?
There's too many people talking to me at one time, and I'm just trying to do what you told me to do.
Take control of the situation.
Let's go, madame! Scallops please with the capellini, yes?
Yes, Chef. Yes Chef. (interview) Man, I almost sank the ship! (bringing scallops up) Scallops to the pass. (interview) But after they got out of my way, I was good to go. Did anybody notice that?
[The Red Team have started their first entrées]
(to Tek, regarding the steaks on the grill) You need to organize them a little better so we can get more on.
I know, I'm going to. Just chill for a second. (interview) This is my station, and I know what I'm doing, so... back off.
Stand by, yes? Away shortly; five New York strip, one chicken! (Tek ignores him) She's not even answering me...
Five strip, coming up now!
NO ONE'S GOT MY BACK HERE! Tek!
Five strip, one chicken, walking up now!
Let's go, then! Where's the strip?
(brings the garnish to the pass) Five orders...
[Gordon checks the steaks; they're VERY undercooked]
(sighs) Fuck off, Tek... Tek! (brings the steaks to Tek's station) That's fucking... that's still blue in there, yeah? Just touch that on top there, touch. Come on, touch it Suzanne! Touch!
(touches the steaks) Get it back in the oven.
Fingers are going right through it; it's blue!
Do you have room to start grilling off more?
Yeah, I will in one second.
(grabs more raw steaks) These are flatter, okay? These are thinner.
(interview) There were like, five people working a one-person station. Like, I know how to cook; I'm not a fucking dumbass. (back in the kitchen) Unfortunately, there aren't numerous hot places on the grill.
Okay, mark them and throw them in the oven; I've got a 500-degree oven back here.
ACAriel Contreras
(interview) You can't rely on that grill to cook your food for you! The grill has a purpose in that moment, and that purpose is to mark your food, and then you finish it in the oven!
(brings the steaks to the pass) Coming up with steaks!
(checks the steaks) Now they're burnt... (brings the steaks back to Tek) I am fucking so upset! That's nicely cooked, that's nicely cooked, and then what are they for?
[Close-up of the steaks; one is properly marked, and the other is black]
They're black! How can I serve THAT and THAT on the SAME TABLE, TEK?!?
I'M SO EMBARRASSED!! What's the matter with you, madam?! HALF THE DINING ROOM HAVE GOT THEIR ENTRÉES!! YOUR HALF ARE STANDING, STARING!!
(interview) Tek talks more of a game, but if she can't back it up, she's going home.
THIS MAY NOT BE IMPORTANT FOR YOU, MADAM, HEY- BUT MADAM, THIS IS FUCKING SERIOUS, AND YOU'RE SHIT!!! (to the servers) Yeah, just take the fucking lot back, will you? Get out my sight...
Two sea bass, halibut, lamb, yes?
SSabrina
(to Suzanne) I can go with that lamb, are you ready?
SSabrina
(bringing the lamb up) One lamb, medium, coming to the pass! (to Tennille) S'cuse me, behind you...
I need another minute, sorry.
SSabrina
Fuck! If they would just-! (interview) Oh, not again!
Come on, fucking hell, come on...
Sorry, Chef. I thought I could do it, but...
Well, I'm fucking out to dry now, aren't I? I'm standing here with my fucking pants down again.
Just one minute, Chef! One minute!
(to the Red Team) Everybody buckle down and let's go! We can do this!
Tennille! And you wonder why I go fucking apeshit? Stand here for five minutes and see how PAINFUL it is!
Understood, Chef. (interview) Everybody's got their stuff up! We don't wanna hold up the whole thing and let it get cold!
(to Suzanne) I'm not gonna- it's not gonna die here!
Thirty seconds sea bass, yes?
Yes, Chef! (checks her sea bass, and it breaks) Shit! Fuck me!
Sorry, guys. (to Gordon) Chef, I killed the table.
TAKE THE FUCKING TRAY BACK!! Fuck off with you, yeah?! Fuck- fuck right off, yeah?! (takes the tray containing the rest of the order) There you go! (hands the tray to Suzanne) Yeah, that's you! Take it back!
(interview) NOW WE GOTTA DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN?! THANKS A LOT, SUZANNE!
ACAriel Contreras
You fucking shitting me?! UGH!!
RIGHT NOW, I AM NOT GONNA START SERVING HALF A FUCKING TABLE! NO CHANCE!
AND NOW YOU'RE DRAGGING THE FUCKING KITCHEN!
(to Suzanne) We're behind. We gotta pick it up, okay?
I'm trying to go as fast as I can!
(interview) SUZANNE! SUNK! THE! SHIP! She sunk us! Left us on the curb!
(to Suzanne) DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!
Guys, I can't have my station be a fucking dump pit!
Hey, Ariel, can you go up in two minutes?
(interview) Save it 'til the end of service, Chef! You're making me blush!
(walking to the pass with his scallops) I'm going up!
Two minutes, counting down! (interview) What's my name?
Somebody's taking my fucking lead! The person I least expected to!
Tennille has impressed Chef Ramsay with her communication.
Coming up with two lamb and sauce right now, Chef. (brings the lamb and sauce to the pass) Lamb on your side, Chef.
Now she hopes to impress him with her cooking.
(plating the lamb) That lamb's perfectly cooked.
(interview) The first time I hear Chef say "This lamb's perfectly cooked", I'm like, "Stay perfect! As soon as you slip, you know what he's gonna do?! SHOVE THAT LAMB UP YO' ASS!"
(gets Ariel's garnish pan) Just stop! Come here, come here. ALL OF YOU, COME HERE!
ACAriel Contreras
I'm sorry, chef. I turned around for a minute.
ACAriel Contreras
(interview) That lettuce, I didn't even know the fucking burner was on. (to Gordon) Sorry, chef.
What the FUCK are you doing? It's in front of your FUCKING eyes! (throws the pan in the bin) This is not possible! NOT GOOD ENOUGH ARIEL!
ACAriel Contreras
Yes, chef.
(holds up a piece of burnt lettuce) WHO THE FUCK'S GONNA EAT THAT? (throws it in the bin)
ACAriel Contreras
(interview) Black and burnt salmon garnish. (during service) Lettuce needs about 2 more minutes. (interview) It doesn't get much worse than that.
Scott, clear out, come here. Fuck off. Fuck me. [he and Sous-Chef Scott exits the kitchen and restaurant]
Fuck that. Absolutely fuck that.
What the hell is going on here?
Can't take it any more. I cannot take it any more. Un-fucking real. Oh, fuck me. That's a first.
They're gone. So, are they coming back?
I can't take it anymore. Oh, dear.
