Salvatore quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Capellini, risotto, one scallops. How long?

Five minutes, chef.

Five minutes? Get your rice in there!

Yes, chef.

You're cooking the risotto with no fucking rice in there! How's that possible?

It's not possible, chef.

The fucking rice has to go in before the stock!

Yes, chef.

(interview) Benjamin, is a shit chef. He can't even cook a fucking risotto. He's a chef.

What's Salvatore doing? Put it down. It's a cold pan. You got to get the pan hot first. This is basic now!

Yes, chef.

You can't put fucking cold food into a cold pan. It absorbs the olive oil. So in the center of the potato, it's like eating a mouthful of grease!

Yes, chef. Sorry chef.

There's two of you on there. How long?....He's not even listening! (calls out Salvatore and Benjamin) Hey, do me a fa - come here, you! Hey, you as well! (Calling out to blue-haired Jay) Hey, where's fucking Smurf? SMURF! Come here, will you. You and you, fuck off, will you? Get out! Piss off! I'm not going to stand here and struggle time after time!

(interview) I don't know what happened. I got lost with the freaking appetizers.

Fuck off up to the dorm, GET OUTTA HERE!

(interview) Maybe he don't likes the way I talk. I don't know. He don't likes me, who knows? Maybe he don't likes Italian people.

Salvatore! [pause] That's the wellington cooked perfectly.

Thank you, chef.

Where is the fucking chicken?

(to Jason) The chicken?

[slices chicken breast and sees that it's raw] Fuck! Should be ready. Damn!

Hold it, you got to get that chicken to the window!

I got it.

(interview) He's always, "I got it. I got it. I got it." You ain't got shit out.

Where's the fucking chicken? Jason, can you talk to me please?

Yes, chef!

Where's the fucking CHICKEN?

Two minutes, chef.

[throws a spoon] Oh fuck off. [sees what Jason is doing] Is that - oh, fuck off! I'm not cooking like that.

(interview) He was rushing his chicken. The chicken wasn't even ready. Jason's not taking care of business. He totally fucked us.

Come here you. So the fucking chicken's raw, yeah, and you're frying it like a fucking first class - look at that. That's your best?

No, chef! (interview) Yes, chef, I fucked the chicken up! He got in my face. I took it like a man. Started over with a brand new chicken.

Fine dining?

No, chef!

A fine fucking MESS! [kicks the bin]

What's wrong with that?

It's that she requested medium well.

Yeah, and it's not wrote on the ticket!

Yes chef.

It's not on the fucking ticket! What do you want me to do now? Do you want to fuck your team? Go in there, take it to them, there you go.

Now he's going to lose his shit. [walks into the blue kitchen] Guys, please, may I please have a wellington medium well? Please on the fly? Thank you very much.

Yeah, basically, it's not even written out on the ticket. So we sent it out perfectly, and it's not your fault, okay? [to Salvatore] Don't you dare! Hey, hello! Get rid of that plate! Take the fucking plate and fuck off!

(interview) I take and take it, only so many I can take. How much can I take?

(walking past JP) Fuck this.

Where are you going?

I'm leaving. (interview) Sooner or later, you start breaking apart.

Salvatore... Salvatore...

(interview) That's it.

Salvatore.

I'm done.

Salvatore, hey do me a favour, don't - don't do that! Salvatore, fight back, young man!

Let's go. (looks at the ticket) Oh, Jesus. What is that there? What does that say? What - what - you went to school, right?

No, chef.

(shocked) You didn't go to school?

No, chef.

What were you doing?

Came to America because my family needed me, needed money.

So what were you doing when you didn't go to school?

Working every day, chef, to feed - to help my father and my mom's bills.

Thank you for being honest.

I was being honest, chef.

Just take your time!

But Salvatore has a question.

Chef, did you say one risotto? One risotto, one capellini?

Two risottos, one capellini, one truffle salad.

Yes, chef.

Let's go. How long?

One minute chef.

Let's go!

Yes, chef.

Have you got enough in there for two?

I got it. [puts more rice in the pan]

Why are you putting more rice in there? Is that because you just found out there's two risotto?

No, no, no.

Oh, my God! Hey, blue team, come here, all of you! The risotto's one minute away from being cooked. He realises we're one portion short. Then they start dumping fresh rice in there. Who's smart idea was that?

It was my idea chef.

Why didn't you tell me then?

I apologize, chef.

Salvatore, working with a cook who tells lies is 10,000 times worse than dealing with a chef who can't cook! You just lost my trust! How dare you? PATHETIC! Benjamin, watch him; the guy's a fucking liability.

Yes, chef. (interview) You don't lie to your chefs and you don't lie to your fellow cooks. That's like a fucking no-no.

Salvatore, now we should start the whole fucking lot again!

Yes, chef.
