How long for the risotto and pasta?
Plating up the pasta right now.
[tastes the risotto then spits it out] Taste that rice, taste the rice. It's like mush! Show me the rice.
Oh, my God! It's overcooked! It's like mush! Who cooked the rice?
[flashback to when J cooked the rice for both teams, pouring two boxes into one pan]
The blue team? What? [goes over to the blue kitchen] Oh, come here you, all of you! Who cooked this rice?
Look at it, J! How can you do that, J? [hurls the rice in the trash] J! For both teams?
Aw, fucking hell. Oh, come on. You can't do this!
(interview) The risotto was mushy, clumpy and nasty, and it definitely was not a good way to start the evening.
It's mush! Did you cook it all in the same pan?
Oh, fuck me. Oh, come on, fuck off J.
I'll get a pot on, chef. (interview) That pissed off Chef Ramsay, and I really didn't need that, because he's been riding me hard the past couple of days.
(to Jean-Philippe) Jean-Philippe, stop the risotto, yeah? (to J) J! I can't believe you just screwed the service in both kitchens!
(interview) J, you're my friend and I like you a lot, but today, you fucking suck, man.
[Jean-Philippe returns to the pass with pasta]
Yeah, it's really undercooked, chef.
(to Carol) Hey, you, madam. The pasta's raw! Who's running the appetisers?
Well, then run it, then! Does she [Andrea] wipe your ass?
No, chef. (interview) I get fucking yelled at because this stupid bitch can't fucking cook? What the hell is up with that? (to Ramsay) There's must be some mix-in because it's...
What?! Why aren't you tasting?
So you tasted it, and you knew it's raw, and still sent it!
(interview) That stupid bitch doesn't fucking say anything when Chef Ramsay's yelling at me? FUCK THIS SHIT!
Madam, come here you, mouthy little bitch! You [Andrea] come here!
(to Jean-Philippe) Hey, give me that table out there! (to Carol and Andrea) And sit on that table and eat that! Both of you, fuck off out there! It's not undercooked, it's raw! RAW, Carol! [gets ticket from Jean-Philippe]
(to Carol) Let's eat it. Let's get this fucking over with.
(to Carol and Andrea) Hey, you're not coming back until it’s clear and you let me know how it tastes!
(interview) I was appalled that I had to stop during service. That pasta was grossly undercooked, and I had to eat that shit! (to Carol) Fucking eat up, girl.
It’s- it’s- I’m eating it. It’s fine.
While Carol and Andrea chew on their mistakes, in the blue kitchen, J is hoping to redeem himself.
(with a piece of undercooked salmon) J!
Come on, then! Look, it's still stone-cold. Back in the oven! Fucking hell...
J, I know you're busy, buddy, but how long on the salmon, my man?
Give me the tuna! Give me the-
He said four minutes out. Can you make it four?
Everything you've touched so far, tonight, has been screwed.
(interview) J just lost his shit, man. He was just clamming up, didn't take control. He was burning the seafood, he was sending raw seafood.
That's called burnt salmon, not seared salmon!
(interview) It takes a real good chef to recover. (to J) You can really turn this around if you want to.
Wipe your face, wipe your face. [J wipes his face with his sleeve] With a rag!
Coming around. Right here, chef.
[finds out that the salmon is overdone] Hey, bozo, SAUCE! Come here, you. Put that down, come here, you. Come here, you! Get in there! GET IN!
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?
I know, chef. I got no fucking excuse.
What's the matter with you?
I don't know. I'll fucking turn it on right now, chef.
I can't fucking go any further! Please, wake up!
I've got sauce on one, and two Dory on. LA?
[LA is standing still and staring into space]
(interview) It's almost like LA was half-asleep or something.
GGloria
Come on! LA, wake up! Are you sleeping?
She's dreaming. Come on, more (voice cracks) SAUCE, you silly cow!
(interview) He called me a cow. For the first time.
Don't cook all the fucking Dory in one pan unless you're boiling them, yes?
Yes, chef. (interview) In the real world, you wouldn't have someone yelling at you like that. You wouldn't have someone calling you a cow, a bitch. You wouldn't. 'Cause if someone in the real world called you a cow or a bitch, you would walk up to them and sock them in the face.
As LA tries to get up to speed, over in the blue kitchen...
J! Where's the other scallop?
[J brings the scallops to the pass; they're badly overcooked]
I have had enough. [calls the blue team] Come here, you! Leave it here, PUT THAT DOWN! You, come here! You come here!
What is that? What IS that? What is that? That's us at our best, WHAT IS IT? Wait, it gets better. Look, touch that!
T-Oh, my GOD! Unbelievable-- [J goes to touch one of the scallops, and Ramsay knocks his hand away] No, no no no, NO! NO! [throws a scallop onto the floor and faces J towards the door] GET OUT! OUT, OUT, OUT! GET OUT! OUT, GET OUT! Take your jacket off, and FUCK OFF!
(interview) I guess I don't belong here, so... I'll be going home. I'm here for a reason, and it's my boy and my wife, so of course I'm disappointed. It was a tough day. (in the dorms) Oh...that's fucked up bro. (interview) My dream when I came to Hell's Kitchen was to win. So, uh, now it's time to move on and get my own restaurants going. You know, I don't need Chef Ramsay's opinion anymore, I've got it. [entering the taxicab] Tomorrow's another day! Let's do it. (interview) It's time for J Maxwell to do his own thing.
Where are the Wellingtons?
Five and a half minutes, chef.
I'm watching you like a fucking hawk.
You know why? Do you know why?
I don't-I don't know, chef.
I want you out. You're not cutting it. You're dreaming.
(interview) It hurts. It hurts when someone goes at you like that.
Stop! Stop, stop, stop! Put that down. [finds that Ben has put fresh Wellingtons in a tray filled with burnt bits of pastry] Oh, my god! Look! Look!
(interview) Ben was struggling, just getting beat up by chef. Ben's just like J, in dinner service he just falls apart.
Come here, you! Get in there, get in! [Gordon leads Ben into the pantry] What's your fucking game?
Tell me something straight. What are you doing?
Chef, I'm doing everything I can...
Why are you putting them on a dirty tray?
Chef, only because I was doing Wellington on them before, and I could not find any more...
And that's good enough for you?
It's not. I don't want to do it in a...
One more, and you're fucking history. GET IN!
(interview) Today, it took everything I had not to go up in my little coccoon. I just had to push forward.
My decision is... Ben. [Ben walks towards him and he decided not to send him home] I really want your jacket. (to both Ben and Lacey) I'm giving you one more chance.
Lacey, Ben, back in line. (to Lacey) Lacey.
You must... START working with your team!
(to motivate all the blue team) Are all four of you capable of working together?
ABAll Blue Team
Yes chef!
ABAll Blue Team
YES CHEF!
Then do it! And do me a favor? Get out, the lot of you.
