Scenes with Monique 6
[to Monique when he is tasting her signature dish] Tell me about the marinara sauce. I want to know how you made it.
MMonique
It's just from a jar.
[Gordon spits out the pasta onto his fork]
So you didn't even make the marinara sauce?
MMonique
No! (interview) I don't think there's anything wrong with canned sauce. Unless you're from fucking Italy, and you're like born as an Italian, you're not gonna be making your sauce from scratch all the time. [to Gordon] No, if you wanted it, you should've just told me! I would've did it!
Oh, I've got to tell you what I want?
(interview) Who the fuck uses jarred tomato sauce for Chef Ramsay? Who does that?!
Mo's pasta, one out of five.
[after cutting into lamb prepared by Monique] It's really rare. Monique, it's really rare. Screw it, back in the oven.
That shit's not even hot! Put that in the fucking convec(tion) oven! Are you kidding me?! (interview) I open the oven, and I'm expecting, like, a facial, and it's nothing.
MMonique
Our oven is not hot for some reason.
The oven's off! (interview) Monique, are you fucking kidding me? Your goddamn oven is off, and you're cooking lamb. Are you like...are you high?
Chef, we're bringing it up. Pork?
Got it. You following me?
MMonique
Yes. Right behind.
[Gordon looks at the two pans of raw lamb and pork]
Ladies! ALL OF YOU! COME HERE!!
(interview) Fuck! Really?! Like, again?! Oh my God! This is not happening!
Raw lamb and dry pork! Like pork jerky! Look at it! RIDICULOUS!! [throws spoon up before walking out of the red kitchen] Aw, FUCK OFF.
Yes, chef! Monique, just throw it up.
MMonique
I wanted to make sure it was ready. [to Gordon] Walking with scallops! (interview) I know I'm solid on my scallops. This ain't my first time in the kitchen!
[while checking the scallops] These are fucking disgusting. They're just cooked to fuck. [to red team] Ladies!
Come here! All of you. WHAT IS HAPPENING?! TOUCH THEM! Just touch how rubber they are! Yeah, it's not gonna bite! It's fucking dead!
Alison, who cooked those scallops?
[brief pause] Monique, chef.
MMonique
(interview) Like, what a bitch move! I can't stand Alison. You accent's stupid, your makeup's stupid, you're stupid.
(to Monique) You've got no idea they're rubber! Way overcooked!
[Gordon receives a bad order of risotto and cavatelli as the red team tries to finish appetizers]
(to Red team) Hey. Hey, all of you! Come here!
Tasting Lesson #17. Taste the sticky, over-reduced cavatelli and the bland risotto! No richness, no sumptuousness. Nothing! I have no idea what you two are doing!
(interview) I didn't fucking train for ten years to have some fucking asshole next to me not keep up with risotto.
Hey, here's what happening! It's the last table of appetizers...
...when you should be at your height! And that tastes like it's at the fucking bottom.
Yeah, disgusting. Sticky, bland...
No, what were you gonna say?
(interview) "Oh, please Chef Ramsay. Can you give me another chance?" Seriously?! "I'm a girl in puppy-dog eyes." That shit doesn't fucking fly. Are you kidding me?!
The last table of appetizers. "Let us try again." What do you think I want? All of you, GET OUT!
FUCK OFF! And what did you say, Sarah? "Can we try one more time?!" GET OUT!
MMonique
(interview) I'm so angry. I literally want to start punching bitches.
(imitates Sarah) "CAN WE TRY ONE MORE TIME?!"
Whose raw burger was that?
That was my bad. I thought it was ready. I'm not kidding, like...
Sarah, it's a rare burger!
I understand! I don't know how to cook burgers!
Oh my— (interview) A burger! Who in America does not know how to fucking cook a burger?!
Sarah, I need you to bring your confidence to the fucking party. You are a good chef! Stop fucking second-guessing yourself!
Yeah, that burger was a huge problem. But on the same token, are you fucking serious that you don't know how to cook meat?! (interview) I've been on that meat station. It's so easy! Mieka is not good, but Monique is a complete dead weight. She is just a body taking up space. (to Monique) Monique, straight up, it's your second time on meat! How many times?! Second time!
MMonique
Yeah, I fucked up in the beginning. The second batch came out, they were under, but I got my shit together.
YOU NEVER GOT YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, MONIQUE!
With Bret's soggy salmon killing the blue team's momentum, over in the red kitchen...
Monique! You have to get all that done! Can you do it?!
MMonique
I'm working it right now. I'm ready.
...Monique's struggles on garnish has the ladies' first order of wellingtons and lamb dying at the pass.
MMonique
Yes, chef! Lamb garnish!
Have you tasted any of your garnish?
MMonique
Yes, chef. I've been tasting.
[to Gordon as he checks the garnish] You all right with that?
[touches eggplant] It's fucking raw. (to red team) Hey! There's nothing worse than a bitter, raw eggplant, yeah? It's just solid! Just...[slams fist on table] it's just solid! Look!
Oh, yes. Oh y–Oh, YES?! OH, NO! IS ANYONE ENGAGING?!
