“Episode Two” quotes from Hell's Kitchen

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?

Mascarpone.

Where's the butter?

There's no butter, there's no richness and it's just bland. (to Nicole and Simone) Can you make risotto now?

Yes, chef.

(to Simone) You, yeah? Fuck off!

Yes, chef.

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!

Yes, chef?

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?

Yes, chef!

Get involved or fuck off home!

DEMARCO!! What are you doing?! The pan's fucking cold!

Yes, chef.

The pan's cold! (goes to DeMarco's station) What's a sear mean? [makes a hissing sound]

Hot. Real hot pan.

(interview) DeMarco is pathetic. Literally searing tuna, a three-year old could do it.

Okay?! It's not hot the pan!

Yes, chef.

[knocks his hand on the workstation] If you can't sear this tuna, (points to DeMarco's chef's jacket and apron) take that off, get that off and fuck off home, okay?

Yes, chef.

They're raw.

They're fucking cold.

And they're fucking cold. Beth, the lobster’s still RAW! (Brings lobster tail to the workstation) All of you, COME HERE!

Oh, God.

A raw lobster tail. No, no, no, NO! [throws the lobster tail away on the workstation] I don't know where to go! (to Nicole and Simone) Both of you have given up (to Bev and Beth) and you two are shit! WHERE DO I GO?!!

(interview) Beth, I just told you. Like make sure that’s the temperature.

Can I have two risotto and two lobster?!

Yes, chef!

Back in the Blue kitchen, DeMarco is trying to prove he can complete the simple task of searing a tuna.

Let's go.

Chef, tuna. (interview) I do know how to sear tuna. There's an incredible amount of pressure in this fucking place.

(checks DeMarco's tuna) DeMarco! Did the pan make a hissing noise?

Yes, chef.

Congratulations, that's seared tuna!

Yes, chef. (interview; claps) Yes! [smiles]

(on Kashia's wellingtons) Wellington's cooked beautifully.

Thank you chef!

Hey, don't dare start celebrating. Let's get that right.

Yes, chef.

Half the table's missing, Beth and Bev!

Yes, chef?

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]

(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!

Heard that.

Shit!

(on Gabriel's chicken; finds that it's raw) Oh, my God. ALL OF YOU.

Yes, chef?

[angrily knocks his hand on the workstation] COME HERE. Pink chicken. PINK FUCKING CHICKEN. [angrily throws the chicken away; on Scott's halibut] Raw halibut. And it's cold in the middle.

Fucking halibut. FUCK. [throws his spoon away; Gordon angrily smashes the halibut]

(interview) Scott rushed Gabriel to the pass with raw chicken, but the fish wasn't done. Come on, dude.

(to Gabriel) Do you want to eat that?

No, chef.

Why?

It's raw chef.

Oh, (points to the customers) so they deserve to eat that?

No, chef.

We're going to come back right now chef.

GET A GRIP!

Yes, chef.

In the Red kitchen...

THE APPETIZER SECTION IS A FRICKIN' DISASTER!

Yes, chef!

Chef Ramsay is still waiting for Nicole and Simone to deliver an acceptable lobster risotto.

(to Joy) How does that make you feel?

Disappointed chef.

Oh, fuck.

(interview) It's one thing to be frustrated, but I think Nicole is feeling a little bit defeated.

Walking with the risotto. [brings her risotto to the pass]

(interview) You know, Nicole? If you feel like you have no more to give, then maybe you should go home.

[returns and slams the risotto on the workstation] All of you, stop. That is so fucking peppery, it's actually started discolouring. (to Simone and Nicole) You two, get out. (to Rochelle) Rochelle, get on the appetisers. (to Joy) Joy, get on the fucking appetisers.

Yes, chef.

Oh, my good God. [returns and angrily throws a piece of chicken on the workstation] Again, chicken that is fucking PINK! [violently slams all the chicken onto the workstation] FUCK!

(interview) Fuck, man.

RAW CHICKEN FOLLOWED BY RAW CHICKEN! All of you, FUCK OFF OUT OF HERE!

(interview) I can't believe this happened. Some people are just idiots. If you cannot work under the pressure on the demands of Chef Ramsay, then go home.

Hey ladies, come here. Beth, that's you.

(interview) Oh, no.

The halibut is still raw. Just touch the skin, Beth. Move, it doesn't mind. It's dead. Soggy and cooked to fuck.

(interview) I don't understand why Beth and Bev couldn't pull it together for the life of them.

[angrily throws his towel in the workstation] SHIT. BYE-BYE. GET OUT!

(interview; sighs, then pretends to faint)

Okay. When I think of the choices that I have tonight, standing in front of me, I think there's one person who has shown me no passion, no fightback, no leadership. The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is... [points behind the nominated chefs] Nicole. You've got to get out, immediately. [Nicole hands her jacket over to Chef Ramsay] Good night. [Nicole walks toward the exit without saying anything] Good night.

(under her breath) Yeah, good night, asshole. (voiceover, as she flips the camera off on the way out) I'm not going to cry like a little bitch. I don't give two flying fucks what he thinks and what he says. He can kiss my big, fat ass. (blows a kiss) Bye, Chef Ramsay.

I'm not looking for a line cook. But if I were, I still wouldn't have hired Nicole. She was useless.
