(finds half a tomato) When's that from? That's been sliced. That's gone out. What is that --where is it-- hey madam, where's that tomato gone?
(the other half is being served on a dish in the dining room.)
(digging through the slugs in the tomato) Look! It's fucking rotten, you fucking idiot! IT'S ROTTEEEEEEEEN!! Has a customer just been served a slice of tomato?!!

[In the kitchen, Gordon wipes the soot off his hands]
I've got four chefs who can't cook fucking rice, and soot all over the food. What is going on?! Fuck me. You're supposed to put salt on the food, not fucking soot!
[The table seen earlier starts walking out]
(to Vic) You can't employ these guys! One can't clean, one can't cook rice.
YYolanda
(interview) I never imagined how bad this restaurant was doing. I don't know what else could happen.
(leaves the kitchen) I cannot come to terms with what the fuck is happening!
[Gordon orders crab cakes]
Somebody spit on my food? What is that?
SServer
It's coulis mango sauce.
Oh, coulis mango. Thank you. [she leaves] Looks like something out of a modern art museum. Splat! Okay... [takes a bite] Wow. That's fucking disgusting. It's rancid. Plastic bits of crap running through the crab cakes.
