Hell's Kitchen is an American cooking reality show based on the British program of the same title, where Chef Gordon Ramsay puts aspiring chefs through different challenges and dinner services to decide who is the best.
Episode One [11.01]
- [Signature dishes before a live audience at Caesar's Palace]
- [Nedra and Sebastian are the next two to have their dishes judged by Gordon]
- Gordon: Somebody get on the board. Let's go! [sees Sebastian trying to walk backstage] Where are you going? Where are you going?!
- Sebastian: I'm trying to avoid it, chef. I'm trying to avoid it. I don't wanna...
- Gordon: Okay. Nedra, describe your dish, please.
- Nedra: Chef, can we pray before you bust my balls?
- [Gordon tries not to laugh as Nedra takes Sebastian's hand and does a silent prayer; Some of the contestants laugh while the audience cheers her on]
- Gordon: [after Nedra makes the sign of the cross] Thank you, Nedra. What did you say in the prayer?
- Nedra: Lord, please don't let Chef bust my balls. [Jacqueline laughs along with the audience]
- Gordon: What a beautiful prayer. Okay, Nedra, describe your dish, please.
- Nedra: I have double-grilled potatoes with a rosemary-glazed lamb.
- Gordon: [tastes the lamb] The good news is... it's cooked perfectly. [to Sebastian] Okay, Sebastian.
- Sebastian: These are shrimp and salmon corn dogs. [Gordon looks at the audience in disbelief]
- Gordon: Where's the shrimp?
- Sebastian: The shrimp's in there. It's made like a sausage.
- Gordon: [to Nedra] Will you taste that, please?
- Nedra: Um... sure, chef. [takes a corn dog]
- Gordon: Say another prayer.
- [Nedra nearly throws up tasting the corn dog]
- Gordon: What did you think? [Nedra bends down to spit into the bin] Put it in there. Yeah. [to Sebastian] You got one thing right before you presented that dish. You tried to bolt out the back door.
- Sebastian: Yes, chef. I know that's what I was thinking.
- Gordon: Congratulations to the girls. One-nil, great start.
- Gordon: Susan.
- Susan: Yes, chef. [passes her dish to Gordon]
- Gordon: First off...
- Susan: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [raises right hand] How many fingers have I got up?
- Susan: Five.
- Gordon: So you're not blind. [holds up slice of lamb] Because I can see from here that your lamb is absolutely fucking raw. [audience groans] This is a serious competition! It's not even warm. It's raw. Are you seriously trying to kill me? [audience groans again] Do you want to go home right now? You can fuck off now. [pause] And what's this mess here?
- Susan: It's a couscous with currants and toasted pine nuts.
- Gordon: [quickly spits out the couscous] Sorry. The couscous is overcooked, and the lamb is raw.
- Susan: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Is this funny for you? [Susan shakes her head] No points. Disgusting.
- Gordon: [looking at Dan's dish] Seriously, did you throw up on that plate? Let's go back forty-five minutes.
- Dan: Okay.
- Gordon: What is it supposed to be?
- Dan: Eggs benedict with a champagne hollandaise sauce, sourdough bread, heirloom tomatoes and sautéed spinach.
- Gordon: And how did you make the hollandaise?
- Dan: I used whole butter. If it's good enough for Julia Child, it's good enough for me.
- Gordon: Julia Child would be turning in her grave right now if she saw that. [the audience laughs as Gordon tastes the eggs] It's fitting that you made this in Vegas because whoever eats that is sure to get the craps. Let me tell you, that is a joke. [to Dan and Gina] I'm disappointed. I mean, really disappointed. Uh... neither of you deserve a point. And you should be embarrassed, young man.
- Gordon: Things are looking up. [to Anthony] Now... What is that?
- Anthony: That is a New Orleans barbecue scallop po' boy.
- Gordon: [picks up bowl of rice] Why would you stick all of that in there?
- Anthony: Just as a side so it wasn't on the plate. Make it a little neater.
- Gordon: Okay. Let me show you something really difficult.
- [The audience laughs as Gordon turns the bowl upside down and dumps rice on the plate]
- Gordon: [beat; sarcastically] That was fucking difficult. Uh, right. [bites into sandwich] Now, that... is fucking disgusting. The scallops are a joke. They're raw. [picks up slice of burnt bread] That is hideous. And you've just embarrassed New Orleans cuisine. [to Jessica] Congratulations, ladies. Good job.
- Mary: I have for you a pan—
- Gordon: [covers his ears] Oh, Jesus.
- Mary: [deepens her voice] I have for you...
- Gordon: That's much better.
- Mary: ...a pan-seared duck breast, [normally] with a red wine and orange reduction.
- Gordon: Wow. Where are you cooking?
- Mary: I'm a butcher at a market in Amherst, Massachusetts.
- Gordon: The duck is still raw in the middle.
- Mary: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You got that white line of fat underneath. And the duck is chewy.
- Mary: Sorry, chef.
- Gordon: So, it's insufficient resting, but it's not even cooked properly.
- Mary: I'm sorry, chef.
- Gordon: Well, congratulations. You certainly butchered your dish.
- [Gina brings her puppet out while the rest of the Red Team studies the menu]
- Ja'Nel: (interview) I'm trying to study and there's a random chef...puppet having conversations with me and my other roommates. I don't know what to do about it.
- Gina: My name is Alfredo Al Dente. [some of the ladies leave the bedroom]
- Nedra: (interview) Bitch, who brings a puppet in Hell's Kitchen?!
- Gina: I like-a the sausage, baby! Gordon, what the hell kinda name is that shit? Tonight, I say you sleep-a with one eye open. Capice?
- Ja'Nel: We gotta study!
- Gina: Gina, baby, they don't understand. But tomorrow, they're gonna cry.
- Cyndi: (interview) Gina, what the fuck are you doing? You're acting like a two-year old right now!
- Ja'Nel & Amanda: [calls out to Nedra, who's in the kitchen] Nedra!
- Nedra: Let me see who she (Gina) fucking with.
- Amanda: Come regulate in this room!
- Nedra: (interview) Bitch, you better take you and that puppet and get the fuck outta here before I fucking kick you and that puppet's ass!
- Cyndi: [laughing] Nedra, please!
- Nedra: [to Gina] This is not Sesame Street!
- Gina: You better watch your P's and Q's 'cause you don't know me!
- Nedra: (interview) The first person to go is definitely gonna be this crazy bitch, Gina. [to Gina] Get your shit together, home-girl. You may be a little cuckoo-cuckoo!
- Gina: Listen to me, you guys. I'm not cuckoo. (interview) I get along with everyone. I'm the person that makes everybody laugh all the time. These girls kind of like look up to me. [as Alfredo Al Dente] Oh my God! They love-a her!
- Ja'Nel: What the fuck?
- Gina: I heard that!
- Ja'Nel: This is gonna be something else.
Episode Two [11.02]
- [Dinner service has started]
- Gordon: JP.
- Jean-Philippe: Yeah?
- Gordon: I need the fucking tickets.
- Jean-Philippe: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, you disappear for three years and then you turn up late. [grabs a ticket from Jean-Philippe]
- Jean-Philippe: Sorry, chef.
- Gordon: How rude. [to the Red Team] Okay ladies, on order, first ticket in, three covers table 31. Two barrata, one scallops, one mussels.
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Mary: [to Gina] Okay do you have a spatula?
- Gina: [rummaging through the spatulas] Where's the ones that flip the scallops with?
- Mary: What?
- Gina: Where's the other ones?
- Mary: [pulls out a fish spatula] That's these ones. (interview) Crazy Gina, she doesn't know what she's doing, she hasn't been here all day and now she wants to cook scallops. Really?
- [Gina begins cooking the scallops and flips them multiple times]
- Ja'Nel: (interview) Gina's in la-la-land flipping the scallops a million times. You know, it's a simple sear: one side, other side. That's it.
- [Gina flips the scallops again]
- Jessica Lewis: (interview) Over and over. Come on!
- Susan: Don't flip them back over, don't flip them back over!
- Nedra: You ready, scallops?
- Gina: Yes, ready.
- Mary: Okay, walk it girl, walk it.
- [Gina and Nedra deliver their appetizers to the pass]
- Susan: (interview) God only knows what these scallops are gonna be like. This is not the way the red kitchen wants to start.
- Gordon: Who cooked the scallops?
- Susan: (interview) Here we go! We're already gonna get laid into.
- Gordon: Who cooked them?
- Gina: I did, chef.
- Mary: (interview) Ughhh.
- Gordon: Excellent. [Susan looks bewildered] Thank you. [Ja'Nel looks surprised and Gina winks at the camera]'
- Susan: (interview) These are the emaculate scallops. How does this happen?
- Mary: Good job, girl!
- Narrator: To the shock of her teammates, Gina has delivered perfect scallops.
- Gina: [to her teammates] Told ya I can cook scallops.
- Narrator: While in the blue kitchen, the men can't even deliver...
- Gordon: On order, two risotto, one mussels, one scallops. [the Blue Team remain silent]
- Narrator: ...a response.
- Anthony: (interview) The correct response is "Yes, chef". The Blue Team's response is: [stares at camera with a confused face]
- Gordon: Guys! [claps his hands]
- Blue Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Thank you.
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Gina]
- Gordon: Fucking Jesus. All of you, come here. Let me show you a little waterfall. [tilts the plate]
- Mary: Oh, my gosh.
- Gordon: Just touch them. Cold, overcooked.
- Susan: Switch up scallops, guys.
- Ja'Nel: Mary, do you want to do scallops?
- Gina: No, I want to do scallops, somebody else has got to do risotto. [Nedra gives a shocked face]
- Gordon: What do you mean?!
- Nedra: (interview) Oh, hell no! Gina, don't throw me under the bus because your shit ain't right. [to Gina] How long on scallops?
- Gina: (interview) Nedra, just fuck off.
- Ja'Nel: You've got some good color on there. You'll burn it.
- Nedra: (interview) This bitch couldn't cook a scallop to save her life. I know that Chef is about to find out.
- Gina: I've got the scallops ready.
- Susan: Go, Gina. You got to go!
- Gina: Walking scallops, chef.
- Nedra: (interview) Mmm-hmm. Good luck to you, Gina! [brings her risotto to the pass] Risotto, right behind you chef, hot.
- Gordon: [checks Gina's scallops] Aah? Hard! All of you, come here! [gets a scallop and flips it like a coin; throws it on the workstation] I guarantee a complete service tonight. You can't even hold it together for the second ticket. Get out, Gina!
- [Gordon checks on capellini brought up by Sebastian]
- Gordon: Taste that. How hot is that?
- James Avery: Spicy, spicy.
- Gordon: [returns to the workstation and spits pasta out] All of you, taste that! It's too spicy and it's disgusting! [throws his spoon away on the workstation] And again, scallops cooked beautifully.
- Zach: (interview) What the fuck is going on? It's like deja vu in this motherfucker.
- Gordon: [to Zach] How many times have you cooked scallops tonight and not served them?
- Zach: Twice, chef.
- Sebastian: Sorry, bro.
- Gordon: Sebastian, get it together!
- Sebastian: Yes, chef!
- Michael Langdon: Come on, guys, let's go.
- Sebastian: Okay Mikey-Wikey. (interview) I messed up a few times but I'm getting in with the groove. I'm playing around. I'm trying to make the environment a little bit looser.
- Sebastian: Zachy, talk to me.
- Zach: [to Ray] We've got three halibut, one branzino.
- Sebastian: Zacky-Wacky!
- Gordon: [to Sebastian] Hey, you! Hey! Come here, you. "Zacky-Wacky"?
- Sebastian: Chef Zach!
- Gordon: Hey, look at me. Hey, look. Is this a fucking joke?
- Sebastian: No, chef!
- Gordon: "Zacky-Wacky?!"
- Sebastian: Sorry, I apologize about that, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, do me a favor: GET OUT!
- Sebastian: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Fuck off, will you?! GET OUT!!
- Sebastian: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Upstairs, GET OUT!
- Anthony: (interview) So Sebastian gets kicked out. Didn't see that coming.
- Gordon: "Zacky-Wacky?"
- [Sebastian runs back into the kitchen]
- Dan: What are you doing?! [Sebastian shushes him]
- Anthony: (interview) Where the hell are you going, Sebastian? [sarcastically] Okay, yeah, you can come back.
- Gordon: Second time, GET OUT!
- Anthony: (interview) God, are you kidding me?!
- Gordon: FUCK OFF! WACKY!
- Cyndi: [to Jessica] You putting your lamb back in?
- Jessica: No.
- Cyndi: You gotta brown off the crust, and then we gotta let it rest before we slice it.
- Jessica: You're right.
- Cyndi: (interview) Jessica's fresh out of culinary school, so this could be a disaster.
- Gordon: LAMB!
- Jessica: Lamb slicing!
- Mary: (interview) It's ready to go. She basically just has to slice and walk.
- Jessica: Fuck!
- Mary: (interview) This is not rocket science.
- [Everyone on the Red Team watches Jessica slowly cut her rack of lamb while timer shows that more than thirty seconds have passed]
- Cyndi: (interview) Seriously? Slice the lamb. How long does it really take? How much of an amateur are you?!
- [Two minutes have now gone by, and Jessica is still slicing lamb]
- Gordon: Where's the lamb?!
- Cyndi: [to Jessica] Just cut through, babe. Cut through it.
- Jessica: I'm trying.
- Nedra: (interview) Oh, my God! This bitch is cutting lamb for six hours now! Bitch, it's only twenty-four hours in a day!
- [Finally, after 3 minutes and 35 seconds, Jessica cuts a slice off the lamb]
- Gordon: I want that fucking lamb now!
- Cyndi: [walks to the pass] Right behind, right behind.
- Jessica: Lamb rising! [to Gordon] Lamb, chef.
- Gordon: [checks lamb at the pass] Oh, mother... Who cooked the lamb?
- Jessica: Me, chef!
- Gordon: Perfect.
- Jessica: Thank you, chef!
- Cyndi: (interview) Who would've thought? Girl can cook some meat!
- [Gordon asks for lamb in the blue kitchen]
- Gordon: Lamb! Come on, Michael! Bit of energy!
- Michael Langdon: [brings his lamb to the pass] Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [checks the lamb; returns to the workstation] Terrible and embarrassing.
- Michael: Oh, God.
- Barret: (interview, facepalms) Fuck, it's coming back.
- Gordon: Time out! STOP! [picks up lamb slice by the bone] The bone, thicker than the fucking meat.
- Dan: (interview) There needs to be meat on there. This is not a fucking dog's chew toy! This is lamb!
- Gordon: And if that is not bad enough. [shows the wellington which is cremated]
- Barret: [whispering] Fuck.
- Gordon: They're way overcooked!
- Barret: Horrible. Fuck!
- Zach: (interview) Michael and Barret, dumb and dumber!
- Gordon: You don't slice the wellington until the lamb's ready.
- Barret: Yes, chef.
- [Sebastian returns to the kitchen once again]
- Gordon: And when it's together like— [sees Sebastian] Oh, you!
- Sebastian: Chef? Can I please come back, chef?
- Jon: (interview) Dude, really? What are you doing? Perfect fucking timing.
- Gordon: You, come here, you. You're making me look stupid.
- Sebastian: No, chef.
- Gordon: The Blue Team, one hour into service and not one entrée out. You, (Sebastian) for the last time, take him (Barret) and him (Michael) ...and GET OUT! And let me tell you something, you come back downstairs again, you'll be leaving through the front door. Now, GET OUT! Three of you! You (Ray) on meat.
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You (Anthony) on meat.
- Anthony: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [sees Barret stands in the doorway] Oi! GET OUT!!
- Barret: (interview) Now, I'm pissed off. I didn't do anything to get kicked out of this dinner service. [angrily throws his apron]
- [Gordon returns a garnish with undercooked potatoes brought up by Susan]
- Gordon: Ladies! Touch them.
- Nedra: Hard, chef.
- Susan: (interview) Oh, my God. That's my garnish.
- Gordon: Who cooked them?
- Susan: I did, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, you, get out! Get out!
- Susan: [under her breath] You're kidding me.
- Gordon: Hey, madam, you think it's funny?
- Susan: No, no, no!
- Gordon: Yeah, take your shit with you.
- Susan: (interview) I know that this is not funny. I don't deserve to be kicked out of the kitchen. Danielle does. She was the one bringing the station down.
- Gordon: Danielle, don't stop the redo, hurry up! After that, two chicken, two wellington.
- Danielle: Two chicken, two wellington. Yes, chef. Sorry, chef, I'm confused. Do you need the one for the redo and the two chicken and two wellington, or do you just want the two chicken and two wellington?
- Gordon: [brief pause] GET OUT!
- Danielle: Fuck!
- Gordon: GET OUT!
- Gordon: Three halibut, one bass, one chicken. Come on, guys!
- Ray, Jeremy and Zach: Yes, chef.
- [Jeremy's kale catches fire]
- Zach: (interview) I'm looking at Jeremy sautéing off kale. I can see the kale nearly catching fire, getting burnt! [to Jeremy] Chef, turn that down some.
- Jeremy: Yeah, yeah.
- Zach: Don't even serve that.
- Jeremy: I'm not. Worry about your side, let me do my side! Yeah?
- Zach: (interview) Motherfucker, what?!
- Dan: HEY! No territory bullshit!
- Jeremy: (interview) It's my station and I don't need his help. So shut up and do what you're supposed to be doing.
- Zach: Un-fucking-believable.
- Gordon: Can we go with three halibut, one bass, one chicken?
- Anthony: Seven minutes to the window.
- Gordon: [to Jeremy] What are we going with?
- Jeremy: Two halibut, one chicken, chef.
- Dan: Three halibut!
- Jeremy: Three halibut, one chicken, chef.
- Gordon: Three halibut, one bass, one chicken! What are we going with?
- Jeremy: [starts stuttering] The three–sleep–the three–three halibut, the two, two uh...
- [Gordon pounds the workstation]
- Anthony: (interview) Jeremy, he's telling it to you! Just say it right back, man! I'm pretty sure birds can do that!
- Gordon: Three halibut, one bass, one chicken. What's going?
- Jeremy: The three halibut, two f... two, uh... Two, two...
- Gordon: GET OUT!!
- Zach: (interview) Bye-bye, Jeremy. [laughs]
- [A female diner walks up to the pass with a plate of chicken with no garnish]
- Gordon: Uh, madam?
- Female Diner: Quick question. The chicken was delivered on its own.
- Gordon: Yeah, it needs garnish. You're absolutely right. My apologies, give me two minutes. [to Red Team] So, now the customer's at the window. Seven minutes ago, we serve the freaking chicken. And where are the potatoes?
- Mary: Coming, chef! [to Amanda] Thirty seconds.
- Gordon: [sees Jacqueline drinking water] What are you doing?
- Jacqueline: I had to get my water, chef.
- Gordon: Get out!
- Jacqueline: [under her breath] Alright.
- Gordon: GET OUT!
- Jacqueline: (interview) Chef Ramsay told me to get out. I'm like, alright, I'm going to go upstairs and rehydrate myself!
- [Gordon checks on the risotto by Jon]
- Gordon: Oh, man! [returns the risotto to the workstation; to Jon] Look at that there! Stuck to the bottom there!
- Jon: Fuck, man!
- Gordon: [to Jon] Jon, take Dan and yourself, and get the fuck out of here! [Jon and Dan leave the kitchen; the "Men Kicked Out" counter bumps up to 5, then 6]
- Zach: (interview) When somebody gets kicked out the kitchen, they put more pressure on the next man.
- Gordon: [to Ray] Raymond, taste that! [Ray tastes the risotto with his bare fingers] Fingers, spoons are everywhere.
- Ray: Bland, chef. [throws plate down]
- Anthony: (interview) Ray, you just stuck your finger into a risotto in front of Chef Ramsay in Hell's Kitchen. That's just stupid.
- Gordon: [to Ray] You may be the oldest, but out of respect, FUCK OFF!
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- [Ray leaves the kitchen, bumping up the "Men Kicked Out" counter to 7]
- Zach: You got to be shitting me. (interview) Blue Kitchen tonight is like being in the middle of a natural disaster. [to Anthony] My fucking heart is beating. (interview) I'm not feeling good right now. It's getting hot, I start feeling pressure.
- Anthony: [to Zach] You good?
- Zach: I got it, I gotta just breathe, homes.
- Gordon: Risotto?
- Anthony: [brings up the risotto] Risotto, chef.
- [Gordon tastes risotto brought up by Anthony]
- Gordon: Fucking hell. [to Anthony] Just taste that.
- Anthony: Fuck!
- Gordon: Yeah, fuck.
- Zach: (interview) Fuck!
- Gordon: Get out! Get out! [the "Men Kicked Out" counter bumps up to 8]
- Zach: (interview) Another person gets kicked out, that's like another blow to me. I started to feel something in my stomach. I literally feel my body shutting down!
- [Zach walks out of the blue kitchen wheezing and coughing]
- James: Wh–where's Zach?
- Zach: [takes off his glasses] Oh, my God!
- James: Zach keeps leaving the kitchen!
- Zach: (interview) All I'm thinking to myself is, "Don't go under, don't go under!" [kneels over trash can] Oh, shit!
- James: Zach! ZACH!
- [Zach throws up into the trash can before standing up briefly]
- Zach: (interview) I'm feeling dehydrated, it's getting hot, and I'm starting to lose consciousness. [sits on the floor with towel over his head] Oh, my God. (interview) Hold on, hold on. [gets up and throws up again off-camera]
- Gordon: Where's Zach?
- James: Zach! ZACH! What are you doing?!
- Zach: I threw up for a minute, chef. Let me just get this out, please.
- James: [to Gordon] Throwing up!
- Gordon: Throwing up? Oh, fuck me.
- Zach: [wipes his face with headband] Oh, God. (interview) I'm literally telling myself, "If you think that you're gonna pass out, guess what?! Think again!"
- Gordon: Zach! Zach, are you okay?
- Zach: Yes, chef. (interview) I'm a fucking monster!
- Gordon: Sebastian tried to be funny, but it was his cooking that was the joke.
Episode Three [11.03]
- Nedra: [to Gina] You said I'm the reason why the scallops didn't go out.
- Gina: Nobody's gonna say I said something when I didn't!
- Nedra: Well, you don't know what the hell you said right now. Clearly! [laughs]
- Gina: Don't fucking laugh at me!
- Nedra: (interview) She up there getting all dramatic and shit. [impersonates Gina yelling at her] Bitch, it ain't even that serious. I'm just letting you know what I gotta say.
- Gina: You better watch your P's and Q's, 'cause you don't know me!
- Nedra: I know you fucking crazy!
- Gina: Don't fucking call me crazy! And watch how you talk to me! [mocks Nedra laughing at her]
- Nedra: [knocks on a counter in the dorm] Let's press the bell, bitch, because we can argue!
- Susan: Ding!
- Gina: Don't call me "bitch"!
- Nedra: Don't mess with a heavyweight when you're a lightweight.
- Gina: You're dealing with the wrong person!
- Nedra: Yes, I'm dealing with a crazy, deranged person!
- Gina: What a fucking baby.
- Nedra: You need to watch yourself.
- Gina: [mockingly as she goes into the bedroom] Eah, she pointed her finger at me about the risotto, fuck off! [slams the door shut which causes a roof tile to come loose and hang over the door]
- Amanda: Oh, my God! She just broke the ceiling!
- [The red team laughs]
- [The chefs have just gathered outside for the next challenge, when suddenly, Gina speaks up]
- Gina: Excuse me, chef? I have something to say.
- Gordon: Please, Gina.
- Gina: Unfortunately, I am not going to be staying here for this challenge. I'm going to be leaving.
- Gordon: You happy to throw the towel in so quickly?
- Gina: I have some personal issues; unfortunately, I have to.
- Gordon: I'm not going to stop you. Please go back up to the dorms, pack your stuff, and leave Hell's Kitchen.
- Gina: Thank you, chef.
- Red Team: Bye, Gina.
- Nedra: (interview) Man, right on the team challenge, this stupid bitch backs out. Bitch, you gonna back out during the competition? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. That bitch folded like a piece of wet paper towel.

- Gordon: [to Mary] How much wine did you put in?
- Mary: I put in just a few squirts, chef.
- Gordon: So you have to reduce it down!
- Mary: Yes, chef. Yes, chef. (interview) Ugh.
- Gordon: Get a pan on, start the risotto. Come on!
- Ja'Nel: Yes, chef.
- [Gordon checks and tastes a risotto; finds that it has too much white wine again]
- Gordon: Too much white wine in there again. All of you.
- Mary: Oh, my God.
- Gordon: Taste that. Hurry up. Taste.
- Mary: I think this is good.
- Susan: It needs salt.
- Gordon: How won't I taste the white wine in there again? [to Danielle] Have you got a drinking problem?
- Danielle: No, chef.
- Gordon: The first thing that you can taste in there is fucking white wine! [knocks his hand on the workstation]
- Danielle: Yes, chef. So you want about a tablespoon?
- Gordon: You have to burn off the alcohol!
- Danielle: Yes, chef. (interview) I'm great on what I do. But this is fucking hard. I mean harder than hard.
- Gordon: Can someone teach these two fucking idiots how to make a fucking risotto?!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Where's the scallops? COME ON, GUYS!
- Anthony: [to Christian] Go, capellini's up.
- Christian: Walking. [brings scallops to pass] Chef, here you go. Scallops.
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Christian]
- Gordon: Christian!
- Christian: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: He brings up scallops, fucking rubber! [pounds fist on the workstation] I mean, seriously?!
- Anthony: (interview) What the hell are you doing?! Come on! Pick it up, please!
- Gordon: Hey, you! Come here, you.
- Christian: Ugh.
- Gordon: Touch them. [to Jeremy] Hey, you, big boy. Come here, you.
- Jeremy: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: You're the one that's supposed to be supporting them.
- Jeremy: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Well, how about supporting your fucking gut? [leads Christian and Jeremy to the chef's table] Both of you, sit down! Hey, enjoy your shit!
- Jeremy: (interview) I don't know how I'm in this situation right now.
- Gordon: [to a server] A glass of wine, please, for the two chefs.
- Jeremy: (interview) It was his scallops. I had nothing to do with it.
- Gordon: [to Christian and Jeremy] Enjoy! Fuck you! [returns to the workstation; to the Blue Team] Hey, get a grip! [knocks his hand on the workstation] Scallops, urgently!
- Jon: Heard, chef!
- [Gordon checks on lamb brought up by Jon]

- Jon: What?
- Gordon: All of you! [raises one lamb] Who cooked that?!
- Jon: Fuck!
- Gordon: Come here, you! All of you, come here! How much more shit does one need to take?! The dining room full of guests waiting for that.
- Jon: (interview) I'm so pissed at myself right now. I just want to punch myself in the dick.
- Gordon: You're making me look like a fucking idiot. [throws his spoon away] GET OUT! Leave me alone. Leave, get out, get out, get out. [gives the lamb to Christian] There you go. There's your second course. Fuck off! GET OUT!!

Episode Four [11.04]
- [During the marathon lunch challenge, Dan brings salmon to the pass that turns out to be raw]
- Gordon: [touches salmon] It's raw. It's raw. Are you fucking serious? [returns to workstation] ZACH!! The salmon's RAW! I've got eight-year old girls in the dining room! THE SALMON'S RAW! RAW!! Start AGAIN! [walks back to the pass] Oh, Jesus.
- Zach: (interview) Chef told me that I can't use the fish that I had just cooked off, but the salmon looked perfect. So, I figured all I gotta do is finish it off, and send it out.
- [Gordon walks over to the back of the blue kitchen and checks a tray of reheated salmon]
- Gordon: Where's this from?
- Ray: Those are the old ones, chef.
- Gordon: That's the old stuff?
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Have we been using that?
- Zach: No, chef.
- Gordon: Have we, Zach?
- Zach: No, chef! We're doing our thing, straight to the order.
- Gordon: The truth?
- Zach: Yes, chef! That's why they're still there, chef!
- Ray: (interview) Zach, Chef Ramsay's not stupid. He knows. He knows what's going on.
- Gordon: [to Zach] Look at me in the fucking eyes! Did you take salmon from the back and reheat it?!
- Zach: I tried to—
- Gordon: HEY! YES OR NO?!
- Zach: No, chef! It's right here!
- Gordon: Shut the fuck up! [slams fist on workstation] Fuck off of the salmon! Somebody else cook the fucking salmon! Jeremy, JUMP ON!!
- [The Blue Team have lost yet another team challenge]
- Gordon: Okay, where's the spirit gone guys? What's happening, Blue Team? Everyone's scared to step up and work together.
- Ray: Chef, we're just fucking lost. Okay?
- Michael: Chef, you know what might help us during service? The tickets. Could it just be slowed down just so everybody can hear it and repeat it? [Dan facepalms]
- Dan: (interview) Oh, no. Oh, Michael, don't ask stupid questions.
- Gordon: I'm sorry, guys. It's not difficult. But do you know what, Michael? Here's what I'm gonna do. Tomorrow night's service, I'm gonna call the tickets out slower. But what I am asking is please, work together!
- [Dinner service begins]
- Gordon: Blue Team first ticket away, here we go. Four covers, Table 22. [slowly] Appetiser: one salad tableside, two risotto, one Caesar salad.

- Gordon: [to Michael] Michael, how was that for you?
- Michael: Fine, chef.
- Gordon: [to Ray] Raymond, how was that for you?
- Ray: Perfect, chef.
- Gordon: Slow enough?
- Raymond: Yes, chef.
- [Cut to flashback of Michael suggesting to have Gordon read the tickets slower to help them]
- Gordon: I mean, fucking hell!
- [Jean-Philippe returns to the pass with risotto]
- Jean-Philippe: VIP table, NBA player. The risotto is too hard.
- Gordon: [returns and slams the risotto on the workstation] Risotto, a VIP table. Rice is fucking undercooked. [Ray places a pan underneath the workstation] Hey, he's a bit— [to Ray] Hey, come here you. Give me that pan. [shows an overcooked risotto to the Blue Team]
- Ray: That one–
- Gordon: What are you doing? Wha-wha-wha—Just what in the fuck are you doing?
- Anthony: (interview) Things are rolling, risotto goes out, awesome. Perfect good, good start.
- Gordon: [slams the pan on the workstation] That's burned and that's hard! [gets and slams the plate on the pan]
- Ray: I'll put another one in, chef.
- Anthony: (interview) Risotto comes back, awesome. Perfect, [deflated tone] this is what we do.
- Gordon: [knocks his hand on the workstation; to Ray] You, grand-dad! Come on! this is a pick up now!
- Ray: Ten seconds, chef. Right here, chef.
- Zach: (interview) Chef Ray, watch your motherfucking self and you'd better not make any more mistakes under the fucking sun. You hear me?
- Gordon: KEEP THE FUCKING PAN DOWN!
- Ray: Yes, chef. I understand, chef.
- Gordon: MOVE, RAY!
- Ray: Sorry.
- Dan: (interview) Ray, get your head out of your ass and get this risotto out. We're waiting on you. Waiting on Ray!
- [Ray brings his risotto to the pass, Gordon checks it]
- Gordon: Stop! Risotto tastes delicious! [to Ray] Now you've raised the bar.
- Ray: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Hey, don't piss your pants!
- Ray: I won't, chef.
- Gordon: Just stay focused!
- Ray: Yes, chef. (interview) Bring it on, I'll make you proud of me. Let's cook some more shit! Yeah! I mean... not shit, excuse me.
- [Gordon checks on risotto brought up by Jessica]

- Susan: Three. There's three, chef.
- Gordon: Four? Five? [to Jessica] How many is going?
- Jessica: Two, chef.
- Gordon: One! Is this a joke for you?
- Jessica: No, chef.
- Gordon: All that time we're waiting!
- Jessica: Sorry, chef.
- Gordon: Five portions of fucking risotto, I need one!
- Jessica: Let's go, bounce back.
- Gordon: [disgusted] Yeah.

- Gordon: Throw five, serve one!
- [Gordon asks for lamb in the blue kitchen]
- Gordon: Lamb?
- Dan: [slices his lamb; finds that it's rare] Dude, this is under. I can't send this.
- Gordon: Lamb?
- Jon: Walk with the lamb, please.
- Dan: Lamb is not done yet, chef.
- Gordon: Oh, fuck. Oh, Christ almighty!
- Dan: It's still rare in the middle. The middle is rare, the outsides are good.
- Gordon: Oh, fuck me.
- Michael: We're gonna have to fire an all new garnish.
- Dan: (interview, mocking Michael) Waaaaah! The lamb's not cooked! Waaaaah!
- Michael: Brand new garnish.
- Dan: (interview) Michael, just sit there and wait! I got it!
- Gordon: Where is this fucking lamb?!
- Dan: Right here, chef.
- Gordon: There's the fucking plates! Two minutes been sat there dressed!
- Jon: Lamb is being cut. It's on its way.
- Dan: Walking lamb. Behind. (brings his lamb to the pass)
- Gordon: It's there! Hey, bozo! That's how open the fucking gap for you!
- Dan: Yes, chef. Two lamb, chef.
- [Gordon checks Dan's lamb; returns to the workstation]
- Anthony: (interview) Yelling over, problem solved. Right?
- Gordon: [points to Dan] YOU! HEY, STRING-BEAN! COME HERE!
- Dan: Yes, chef!
- Anthony: (interview) Wrong.
- Gordon: (raises a chewed up piece of lamb) What the fuck is that?!
- Michael: Get lamb going now.
- Gordon: What is that?! [Dan doesn't answer] Wha... WHAT IS THAT?!
- Dan: Shit, chef.
- Gordon: This needs one more minute in the oven, and that bit there should be a fucking dog's chew!
- Dan: Yes, chef.
- [Jacqueline brings her chicken to the pass]
- Jacqueline: Where would you like it, chef?
- Gordon: Put it there.
- Jacqueline: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: [checks her chicken; notices that it's raw] Pink fucking chicken. [returns to the workstation] Ladies!
- Red Team: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Pink chicken!
- Jacqueline: Fuck!
- Mary: (interview) Raw chicken, like, seriously?
- Gordon: Pink chicken. Undercooked and pink.
- Jacqueline: Sorry, chef.
- Gordon: [throws his spoon on the workstation as everyone stands around unresponsive; claps angrily] WAKE UP! Come on, Jacqueline!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Amanda: Bounce back guys! Leave it in the water longer!
- Gordon: Jacqueline!
- Jacqueline: Get me a pan.
- Gordon: JACQUELINE!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: There are some things you can't do in a kitchen...
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: ...and that's serving raw chicken!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: JESUS CHRIST!!
- [Gordon asks for lamb again in the blue kitchen]
- Narrator: Despite the jitters, Jacqueline's second attempt at the chicken has satisfied Chef Ramsay and the diners. Meanwhile, half the diners on the blue side have received their entreés. The other half is very hungry and growing impatient, and Chef Ramsay is still waiting for...
- Gordon: Lamb? [Dan and Michael don't say anything] Where is the lamb?!
- Dan: I'm bringing it up, chef. About a minute left, chef.
- Michael: Come on, I'm going to lose those garnish.
- Gordon: A minute away. Garnish is done.
- Michael: (interview) I'm doing fucking 50,000 things right now, and Dan's failing at the one fucking task that he has. I need a lamb.
- Dan: [slices his lamb] Zach?
- Zach: How the fuck?
- Dan: (interview) Okay, the lamb wasn't cooking fast enough. What the fuck do you want me to do about it other than to put it in the damn oven? [puts his lamb in the oven]
- Michael: [to Dan] Dan, real time. How long?
- Dan: [to Zach] How long?
- Michael: YOU JUST LOOKED AT THE FUCKING LAMB! HOW LONG?! [goes to the oven] JESUS, FUCK! (interview) Then, he asks Zach how long? Are you kidding me? How does Zach know? [to Dan] Get the fuck out of here! Get out! (interview) Really, if he lays one fucking finger on me, I'm going to beat him all over the fucking room! I don't care if I fucking go to jail tonight!
- Ray: [to Dan] Dan, don't stand there!
- Anthony: [to Dan and Michael] Hey, come on! Split it up! [Michael bumps Dan out of his way]
- Dan: [to Michael] Don't fucking bump me again!
- Gordon: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Dan: (interview) Don't bump me! You ain't shit! You want to fucking fight?! Come get it!
- Gordon: [to Michael] Hey, hey, hey, you! [to Dan] Hey, you! HEY, FUCK-WIT! Come here, you! Come here! [leads Dan and Michael to the pantry]
- Anthony: (interview) Oooh! Someone's getting it now!
- Gordon: [angrily slams the door] WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON WITH YOU TWO?!
- Michael: [to Dan] You got to talk to me, bro. That's it.
- Dan: Alright.
- Michael: You got to fucking talk to me!
- Dan: Alright, yelling at me.
- Michael: No, fuck you! Talk to me or get the fuck out and go home!
- Gordon: [to Dan] You're throwing him under the bus all the fucking time!
- Michael: Don't be sorry, dude!
- Dan: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
- Michael Langdon: Don't be sorry!
- Gordon: LOOK UP AND TALK TO EACH OTHER!
- Dan: I'll fix it! I'm sorry!
- Michael: Let's do it! Come on!
- Dan: I'm ready on garnish.
- Michael: Thank you. You're ready on garnish?
- Dan: I'm ready for garnish until re-fire!
- Michael: Thank you! Fucking speak English!
- [Gordon checks on wellingtons brought up by Danielle]
- Gordon: Now it's overcooked.
- Andi: They're overcooked.
- Gordon: [returns to the workstation] All of you, HEY!
- Mary: Oh, my God.
- Ja'Nel: (interview) Jacqueline and Danielle are both crashing and burning. Every single thing keeps coming back. We can't get past it.
- Gordon: The Red Team that loves taking the piss because they've flown off a private jet, they've been on a fucking mega super yacht, and they think they're King Dick because they've kissed Céline Dion's arse in fucking Vegas! Come here, you! Touch that.
- Amanda: It's overcooked, chef.
- Susan: Yes, chef. Overcooked.
- Gordon: Just so— [sees Danielle walking away] Oh, she disappears, look. Hey.
- Danielle: I'm giving you another one, chef! I understand that's overcooked! [brings another wellington to the workstation]
- Gordon: Look at that there. Touch that there.
- Danielle: Yes, chef. Sorry, chef. Here's another one.
- Gordon: And even before touching that one, what do you think that one's going to come out at?
- Amanda: Medium, chef.
- Gordon: Touch that one.
- Amanda: Overcooked, chef.
- Gordon: Overcooked. Over... [slams the tray on the workstation]
- Danielle: [under her breath] Fucking dammit.
- Amanda: (interview) Danielle, girl. Get your shit together, man!
- Gordon: Third time lucky? Bingo?!
- Danielle: Perfect, chef! Perfect, chef!
- Gordon: Oh! [sarcastically] "Perfect, chef!"
- Danielle: Sorry, chef! [brings another wellington to the workstation]
- Gordon: So, the first two were what?
- Danielle: My fuck-up, chef. Sorry, chef.
- [Gordon checks her wellingtons; then finally brings them to the pass]
- [The Red Team lost the night's service; they have nominated Jessica and Danielle for elimination]
- Gordon: Okay, Danielle, Jessica step forward please. You know what? There's one more chef I'd like to hear from.
- Narrator: With their dinner service loss, the Red Team was forced to nominate two chefs for elimination. They put up Danielle and Jessica, but Chef Ramsay has his eye on a third.
- Gordon: Because she could've killed someone tonight: [points to Jacqueline] Jacqueline! Get your arse up here. I mean, honestly? Ms. Pink Chicken? Unacceptable!
- Gordon: Ladies, you are not the same outfit that opened this competition, let me tell you. [members of the Blue Team that won the night's service exchange smiles and grins amongst each other] If you think what you've been through is challenging so far... I–I'm going to turn up the heat. Because I need to start separating the chefs from the cooks. Got it?
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Piss off!
- Gordon: Every dinner service, Danielle looked like a deer in the headlights, and that's why she ended up as dead meat.
Episode Five [11.05]
- [Gordon returns some salmon with scrambled eggs to the workstation]
- Gordon: All of you, come here! ALL OF YOU!
- Ray: I'm listening, chef.
- Michael: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Some disgusting pig brought me the sample scrambled eggs. The sample scrambled eggs that I cooked an hour ago!
- [Flashback to Sous Chef Andi telling both teams to study the sample plates]
- Gordon: These guests, they save lives on a daily basis and you want to serve that? JEREMY, DAN! YOU'LL FUCKING KILL SOMEONE WITH THAT!! [tosses the plate on the workstation]
- Narrator: It's early morning and Hell's Kitchen has opened its doors to serve breakfast to a group of much-deserving doctors, nurses and EMTs.
- Jon: [to Jeremy] You pick that motherfucker up.
- Gordon: Take that garnish back.
- Anthony: Work it again! Let's go!
- Gordon: Fuck off, guys.
- Jon: [to Jeremy] Just pay attention. (interview) Jeremy should've been able to look at that and go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. That looks like it's really old. This must not be the plate."
- Michael: [to Jeremy] Find me a rubber spatula, please.
- Jon: (interview) Jeremy really shit the bed on this one, man. [to Jeremy] Jeremy, go run and find a rubber spatula in the back, please.
- Narrator: With orders coming in fast and furious...
- Gordon: [to Red Team] Next table, four covers, Table 43: Two eggs benedict, two omelette!
- Cyndi: I'm ready on the omelets!
- Narrator: ...it appears that one chef...
- Gordon: NEDRA! Wakey-wakey, let's go!
- Nedra: Yes, chef!
- Narrator: ...may be sleepwalking through service.
- Nedra: [accidentally drops tongs] We'll go first, the ham... (interview) Oh my gosh, I hate the morning time. I'm discombobulated, but I'm happy I got a bra on.
- Gordon: I need one eggs benedict urgently! Why haven't you got two plating?!
- Nedra: (interview) You jump right out of the bed, and you're cooking for doctors, nurse... um, ERs. Um... some of everybody, so it's like, "Fuck."
- Jacqueline: Are you ready, Nedra?
- Nedra: I need another minute on eggs.
- [Gordon notices Nedra using soggy muffins for the eggs benedict]
- Gordon: Hey, hello!
- Nedra: I'm cutting them right now, chef.
- Gordon: [gets Nedra's plate of eggs benedict] Stop, Nedra. Stop, stop, stop. [brings the eggs benedict to the workstation] Stop! LADIES! [gets a piece of muffin] Look, soggy. [to Nedra] Why are using the soggy ones when you've got toasted behind you?
- Nedra: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: No, not "Yes, chef!" Why are you using the soggy ones?!
- Nedra: I didn't know they were soggy, chef.
- Gordon: Visually, you don't know that's not toasted?!
- Nedra: I didn't see it when they went down chef, but I have another one coming. [Gordon throws the muffin away on the plate]
- Amanda: Let's go, guys. Let's bounce back.
- [Gordon checks on salmon with scrambled eggs on the workstation]
- Gordon: [calls the Blue Team] All of you, come here! Taste that. I want you to taste that scrambled egg! Taste it!
- Zach: Some seasoning, guys! Little salt and pepper!
- Gordon: Who made that?
- Ray: I did, chef. I put salt and pepper in, chef.
- Gordon: You— [throws his spoon away on the workstation] I mean, SERIOUSLY?! THEY'RE PARAMEDICS!
- Ray: I got them, chef.
- Gordon: I think you need a doctor right now! [knocks his hand on the workstation]
- Ray: Two more salmon coming right up.
- [After losing the breakfast service, the Red Team agrees that Jacqueline and Nedra should go up for elimination]
- Amanda: This sucks, guys, I know. But it has to be the two obvious choices of Jackie for her pancakes, and Nedra for that whole (eggs) benedict station. Otherwise, we're gonna look like we don't know what the fuck we're doing.
- Cyndi: Jackie... Sorry, babe. I really am. (interview) Jackie just failed to make pancakes. If we would've gotten those pancakes perfectly cooked, we would've killed the guys. [to Nedra] And, uh... Nedra just because. [Nedra shrugs] I mean, there's nothing we can do. He's gonna scream at us if we don't.
- Nedra: [gets up from couch and walks up patio steps] I know I shouldn't go up. He said pick the weakest one! I'm not the weakest one here!
- Ja'Nel: If—If you're not gonna go, who's gonna go up instead of you?
- Nedra: Mary. [pause] Mary, she's weak!
- Mary: Alright, thank you. (interview) I'm confused right now. I've worked really hard and I don't think I should be up there. [to Nedra] Don't put me up, because I pulled my weight today!
- Amanda: Why are you nominating Mary when we had the issue today with the eggs benedict?
- Nedra: ONE FUCKING SOGGY PIECE OF TOAST THAT I DIDN'T FUCKING PUT UP MANY TIMES WHEN YOU FUCKING BITCHES HAD ME DYING BACK THERE! I'M THE BITCH WHO KEPT THE FUCKING STATION GOING! SO, FUCK Y'ALL IF YOU DON'T WANNA FUCKING SAVE ME, BUT CAN FUCKING SAVE MARY! FUCK OFF!! [walks inside the dorms]
- Cyndi: Oh, man.
- [During elimination]
- Gordon: Jacqueline, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
- Jacqueline: I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I have the knowledge and I have the power.
- Gordon: Power in burning pancakes. The easiest dish on the breakfast menu, and you managed to burn them.
- Jacqueline: Chef, I burned two pancakes, and the other ones were handed me to flip when I asked for help.
- Gordon: Who couldn't flip a pancake, Jacqueline?
- Jacqueline: Nedra couldn't flip a pancake, chef.
- Gordon: [facepalms] Is that right, Nedra?
- Nedra: The... [exhales deeply]
- Gordon: You can't flip a pancake?
- Nedra: I can flip a pancake, chef. The spatula I was given, I couldn't flip it with the spatula.
- Gordon: So you're blaming the spatula? [pause] Another difficult decision, let me tell you. My decision is...
- TO BE CONTINUED
Episode Six [11.06]
- [Continuing from the previous episode's elimination]
- Gordon: ...Mary, Jacqueline, you two back in line.
- Mary: Thank you, chef!
- Jacqueline: Oh, my God.
- Gordon: There is one of you here that is in way over their head. The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is... Jeremy. [pause; Anthony facepalms] Get your arse up here. You've done something that I have never seen ever. You brought a sample plate. Give me your jacket. Your time is done in Hell's Kitchen.
- Jeremy: Thank you, chef. [shakes Gordon's hand]
- Gordon: Thank you.
- Jeremy: (interview) I don't know what I was thinking. It's my fault. I brought up the wrong plate, but I've learned a lot about myself. I know I'm a fighter, and above all, I'm a great chef.
- Gordon: [to Blue Team] Men, you won today in spite of Jeremy. So, your reward is me getting rid of him.
- Zach: We're stronger without him, chef.
- Gordon: Now, both teams, get your crap together. Because I am gonna start cutting dead weight. We will be open for dinner service tonight. Got it?
- Red Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Piss off.
- [Nedra confronts the Blue Team after Zach bullied Mary about her getting nominated earlier that morning]
- Barret: Oh, shit.
- Anthony: [to Nedra] What up?
- Nedra: Listen, it's okay to antagonize people who can fucking handle it. Don't fucking do that to people who're weak. That's fucked up. So, whoever it was, y'all can kiss a big dick, okay?
- Jon: (interview) Competition's getting heated up. Red Team's starting to really—I feel like they're cracking, man. So, it's fun to fuck with them.
- Nedra: So who was the bitch who did it?
- Zach: Who did what?
- Nedra: Antagonizing people!
- Barret: We haven't been antagonizing nobody.
- Nedra: Alright, well, don't say nothing to her! Did we say something to y'all when y'all got up two nights in a row?!
- Jon: Heard!
- Nedra: No! So, don't fucking say shit to us! Say something to her when you can win a challenge!
- Jon: Alright, heard. Go ahead.
- Nedra: 'Cause I'll fucking tell y'all some shit in a quick, fast motherfucking hurry!
- Anthony & Zach: Ooh!
- Nedra: You don't wanna fuck with me! I'm Mike Tyson, bitch! [Anthony laughs while Barret pretends to box] Ring the bell if you wanna play! Ring it! Ring it, bitches! Ring it!
- Zach & Barret: Ding, ding.
- Nedra: Well, let's go, motherfucker!
- Ray: No, no, no, no, no!
- Zach: [smirks] Look, I don't wanna say nothing.
- Nedra: Okay, that's what I thought. Fucking get y'all shit together.
- Zach: Smooches!
- Nedra: (interview) They didn't have nothing to say. That's what I thought.
- [Barret brings tickets to the pass]
- Gordon: Hey, Blue Team!
- Zach: [to the Blue Team] Chef, pay attention!
- Gordon: On order, four covers Table 23! [finds that the ticket was badly written] I mean, fuck me. [shows the ticket to the Blue Team] Hey, look at the way he wrote that ticket. Look at how badly that's written out! Barret!
- Barret: What happened?
- Gordon: Rewrite the ti—Where's Jean-Philippe? [shows the ticket] Jean-Philippe, what is that?
- Jean-Philippe: Come on.
- Gordon: Oh, fuck off! [tears up the ticket] Hey JP, take him (Barret) and yourself back to fucking Belgium! Fuck right off! Fuck off!
- [Jessica brings tickets to the pass]
- Gordon: Jessica, why are these tickets taking so long?
- Jessica: Sorry, chef. [gives Gordon a ticket]
- Gordon: [reads] Hey, come here you, stop. Come here, look. [shows the ticket to Jessica] What is that? Look, is that two or three? What is that?
- Jessica: Sorry, chef. That's—
- Gordon: [tears up the ticket] No, no. Fuck off! Just how long were you schooled for?
- Jessica: Six months, chef.
- Gordon: So you went to school for six months? Jesus Christ! Hurry up.
- Jessica: (interview) Really? Come on! My handwriting is not that bad.
- [Barret brings another ticket to the pass]
- Gordon: Two seconds, don't disappear.
- Barret: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [reads the ticket] Scallops, risotto, what is that there?
- Michael: (interview) Oh, my God! Come on, Barret! You stupid asshole!
- Gordon: [shows the ticket to Barret; starts stuttering] I can't–You–I–.
- Anthony: (interview) Barret got the whole team riding on your shoulder right now. Come on, buddy.
- Gordon: Halibut, now fuck off back. [tears up the ticket] Write it properly. Hey, Barret, look at me. I've got nothing going out! Let me tell you something: Next mistake, you're fucking history! Useless! Write it out neatly, let's go! Hey, Barret, fucking here, it looks beautiful. Tickets look dreadful, let's go! [throws the teared-up ticket at the pass]
- [Jessica brings another ticket to the pass]
- Gordon: [reads the ticket] Thank you, that's better.
- Jessica: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Welcome to the real world, let's go.
- Jessica: Yes, chef!
- [Gordon checks a risotto at the pass]
- Gordon: It's undercooked, the rice. Wow, fuck me. [returns to the workstation] Hey, the rice is undercooked! The rice is undercooked!
- Amanda: That's not ready yet, guys.
- Gordon: Start again!
- Susan: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Come on! (to Jessica at the pass) What are you waiting on?
- Jessica: [Table] 34, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, fuck–Come in here. Come in here! [Jessica enters the red kitchen] How long have you been waiting?
- Jessica: 20-30 minutes chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, you've been actually waiting 32 minutes. Tell your fucking team!
- Jessica: [to the Red Team; whilst cracking a smile] Let's go, guys! Table 34!
- Gordon: Why are you laughing?
- Jessica: I'm not. I'm sorry, chef. [Gordon throws his spoon away on the workstation]
- Gordon: [to the Red Team] Hey, all of you stop! Come here, fucking all of you! [to Jessica] You think this is a joke.
- Jessica: No, chef. I don't.
- Gordon: [to the Red Team] We're dying for Table 34's fucking appetizers [to Jessica] and you're coming in to laugh at (points to Susan) her. What's funny?
- Jessica: Nothing, chef.
- Gordon: Do you want to go?
- Jessica: No, chef. I don't.
- Gordon: Can you tell your team to hurry up?
- Jessica: [to the Red Team] Let's go, team!
- Susan: I'm ready!
- Gordon: [to Jessica] Hey, it's sounds so funny, isn't it?
- Jessica: No, chef.
- Narrator: The Red Team moves onto entrees. But in the blue dining room, instead of serving Ray's fish...
- Female Diner: They haven't gotten their food yet.
- Barrett: There's only so much I can do, you know?
- Narrator: ...Barrett is busy serving up apologies.
- Barrett: [serving wine to one table] I'm used to kitchen etiquette. I'm sorry, guys. [cut to different tables waiting for food] Alright. Sorry, guys. Okay, guys? I'm sorry about that. If you need anything, listen, just throw a piece of bread at me. It'll probably get stuck in my hair, so... [to Jean-Philippe, who walks past him] I'm okay. [to the diners] If I have to go in there myself and kick everybody out to cook, I will get you guys that, I promise.
- Gordon: RAY!!!
- Barrett: ...Well, maybe not. [heads into the kitchen]
- Gordon: [to Barrett] What are you waiting on?
- Barrett: Three halibut and pork.
- Gordon: [hands Barrett the ticket] Yeah, so how about fucking asking them? How about asking your fucking–Hey, hello. Give us some balls, will you?
- Barrett: Yes, chef. Raymond, how long?
- Ray: Two minutes on the halibut.
- Barrett: You ready with the pork, Anthony?
- Anthony: I've got pork and two wellington ready to go, yes.
- Gordon: Hey, Barrett. Do you understand how painful this is?
- Barrett: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: He (Ray) keeps me waiting 17 minutes! How long, Ray?
- Ray: It's ready to serve, chef. (interview) Before, with the fish station, I had a hiccup. But don't worry. I have it.
- Anthony: Two wellingtons and pork are ready to go. [to Michael] There, go.
- Michael: Behind. Behind. Two wellington, one pork.
- Gordon: Wellingtons cooked perfectly, don't over-juice the sauce.
- Anthony: Thank you, chef. Yes!
- Gordon: COME ON, RAY!!!
- Ray: Yes, chef! Right here!
- Anthony: Walk up with it. (interview) Those better be the best halibut. Not hard.
- Ray: Here you go, chef.
- Gordon: [sees the halibut is overcooked] What's he done to that? [returns the halibut to the workstation] Hey, all of you come here. All of you! [to Ray] You first, just touch that. Just touch. Just DRY!
- Michael: Overcooked.
- Gordon: DRY!! [pounds the workstation]
- Anthony: (interview) That's ridiculous. Un-fucking-believable.
- Gordon: Hey! Hey! Hey, Dan! Raymond! You made me wait...
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: ...and then I wait, and then I wait, and then you FUCK ME!
- Ray: Didn't mean to, chef.
- Dan: (interview) I'm sinking with this ship right now! And the best part is, I couldn't even do anything about it 'cause, uh...Ray wouldn't let me fucking cook.
- Gordon: Hey, Anthony!
- Anthony: Chef?!
- Gordon: Take all your perfectly cooked wellingtons! [slams the tray into the bin] Fucking...
- Anthony: (interview) Shit, if I have to kick someone out of the kitchen myself, they're getting out!
- Gordon: I'll be fucking furious. Every meat you cooked tonight has been perfect!
- Anthony: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Sabotaged by someone who's not even cooking it!
- [Gordon checks on pork brought up by Nedra]
- Gordon: Raw pork? Fuck me. Stop! STOP!
- Red Team: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Raw pork! Raw fucking pork! This is where it gets serious: Raw fucking pork!
- Nedra: Got another one coming, chef.
- Amanda: Let's go!
- Mary: [to Nedra] You can't put it back together and put it in the oven?
- Andi: How long?
- Nedra: Give me six minutes chef!
- Gordon: Six minutes? What are you doing to me?!
- Amanda: Guys, you're going to kill the rest of the table!
- Gordon: [returns a tray of entrées to the workstation and gives it to Nedra] There you go, Nedra. There's your six minutes. TAKE THE FUCKING TRAY! There you go. Mary, there you go. She told me she got another one. Where is it?
- Mary: It's right here, chef.
- Nedra: It's here, chef.
- Gordon: So that's supposed to be funny?
- Mary: No, I'm not laughing, chef!
- Gordon: When you say "I've got one more," you haven't got one more! "I'll put one more on, chef!" I want to hear the fucking truth from you a little bit earlier! So I can relate to the fucking customers!
- Nedra: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Get me Jessica. [calls Jessica in the dining room] Jessica!
- Jessica Lewis: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: [to Nedra] Hey, you! Come here, you.
- Nedra: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: [to Jessica] Can you take this girl [to Nedra] and you explain. How about an apology to the fucking customers with a bit of respect?
- Nedra: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Hurry up! [to Jessica] Take her there!
- [Gordon asks for halibut in the Blue kitchen]
- Gordon: Where is the FUCKING HALIBUT?!
- Ray: Coming up chef.
- Zach: Come on, guys! Let's push this!
- Anthony: [to Ray] Let's go, come on. Get those up.
- Narrator: Ray hurries to deliver his third attempt at the same order of fish.
- Gordon: WHERE IS IT?!
- Ray: [to Dan] Bring that up.
- Dan: I got it right here chef. [brings Ray's halibut to the pass]
- Zach: Come on, come on. Going down, good job.
- Anthony: Please be cooked. For the love of God, be cooked.
- Gordon: [checks Ray's halibut] Wellingtons beautifully cooked, pork's beautifully cooked.
- Anthony: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: But I have a problem. [returns to the workstation] I have a big fucking problem—YES, I DO!! [angrily knocks his hand on the workstation] MAN!!!
- Ray: Fuck me!
- Gordon: THIS IS RAW!!
- Zach: Oh, my God!
- Anthony: Oh, fuck me!
- Gordon: THIS IS RAW!!!
- Zach: (interview) Not again! Dammit! This can't be happening! [to Ray] Come on, Ray!
- Gordon: IT'S JUST RAW! [angrily knocks his hand on the workstation]
- Michael: [to Ray] Get three more going. Get three more going. Put them in the oven.
- Gordon: IT'S FUCKED!!
- Zach: (interview) We're going down in flames! Titanic ain't got shit on us!
- Gordon: I'M DONE! [points to every member of the Blue Team] You, you, you, you, you, you, GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!
- Anthony: (interview) I was doing good, dammit!
- (The blue team head to the dorm)
- Ray: Did I not say that we're done? I will let you fucking know when you fucking keep leaving in it. (interview) Dan, just leave it alone. I had it fucking perfect.
- James: [storms into the Blue Team's dorm with raw halibut] HEY! Where are you guys?
- Jon: Right here, chef.
- James: I've spent 18 hours with you guys today! I gave you everything I've got, and that's the bullshit you're going to give me in front of Chef Ramsay?! Make me look like a dickhead in front of a dining room full of people! I'm beside myself right now with that! I can't look at you guys anymore. [leaves the dorm in disgust]
- Gordon: Red Team!
- Cyndi: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: One more mistake... I'm gonna kick you all out. [points to every member of the Red Team] Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
- Red Team: YES, CHEF!
- [Gordon checks and slices a pork brought up by Mary]
- Gordon: That's raw. [returns to the workstation and throws his spoon away; shows the raw pork to the Red Team]
- Amanda: Oh, my fucking God!
- Gordon: COME HERE, ALL OF YOU!
- Mary: God.
- Gordon: Yeah. Kept me waiting 28 minutes for raw pork. [points to every member of the Red Team] You, you, you, you, you, you, you, [slams the tray on the workstation] GET OUT!! DISASTER!! GET OUT!!
- [Gordon has called both teams downstairs after kicking them out of service]
- Gordon: Stay there! Stay there! We're not done yet! The sous chefs and I are still cooking in there! There's no winning team, you both lost! Think of two individuals from each team that you want rid of! Fuck off upstairs! [returns to the kitchen] Unbelievable.
- [Both teams decide who they want up for elimination]
- Cyndi: Honestly, it's so unfortunate that that one pork fell.
- Mary: I'm sorry about that pork. We both touched it. We both thought it was ready.
- Jacqueline: (interview) I think it's an extremely easy decision for us. Meat's on the chopping block! [squeals like a pig]
- Zach: What the fuck is going on?
- Dan: I–I couldn't cook. He (Ray) wouldn't let me cook anything. I cooked two scallops all night. That was it! Every time I tried to do something, he's reaching over, boxing me out. "Oh, I got this shit. I got this shit." He has me stacking scallops all night.
- Ray: You got fucking—Poor fucking Dan go, "Come on, Ray." [sighing in exasperation while mocking Dan] Sulking on the fucking line, you little fucking bitch!
- Dan: Is he calling me a little bitch?
- Zach: Don't you dare get to fucking to it.
- Dan: I'm not. I'm just curious.
- Ray: Just let me run the fucking station! It was perfect! (interview) This is the fight of my life, and I am not going home over some bullshit. You put my ass on the line, I will fucking ruin you.
- Mary: One piece of pork, and I'm gonna go home. You know, like, that sucks!
- Ray: [through the wall] When I say I fucking had it, I say I fucking got it!
- Cyndi: Guys, shh!
- Ray: [through the wall] Now, I look like a fucking asshole!
- Susan: Are they gonna fight?
- Ray: [through the wall] It's my station. No matter what anybody does, it's my station!
- Dan: Our station.
- Ray: [mocking Dan] "Can I drive? Come on, please, Daddy, can I fucking drive?" Get the fuck out of my face, would you, please?
- Dan: (interview) Ray's calling me a bitch, but Ray's not saying shit to me. This needs to stop. [punches his hand] Boom! [to Ray] Hey, dude, shut the fuck up.
- Ray: [mocking Dan] "Can I cook? I wanna cook, too. Please let me cook."
- Dan: Okay, I don't sound like a fucking child. Stop that.
- Ray: You sound like a fucking little bitch!
- Dan: Every time you ask me for help, you just start reaching across me and shit!
- Barret: That's 'cause you were supposed to be there for fucking support, dude.
- Dan: I was supporting him!
- Barret: If he starts to sink, you hop in!
- Dan: I tried to hop in!
- Ray: Yeah, but I didn't ASK YOU TO! You are fucking interfering with me, bitch!
- Dan: Don't call me a bitch.
- Ray: You're a bitch! Fucking do something about it! [approaches Dan] Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.
- Zach: Ray! Stop, y'all. Fucking stop.
- Dan: (interview) Ray, you're gonna throw me under the bus? You want me to go home? Fuck you! It's on like fucking Donkey Kong!
- [During elimination]
- Zach: [to Gordon] Chef, when Chef Ray's cooking, you hear Dan saying smart things like, "Ray's in my way," and we can't move forward with somebody like that.
- Dan: He's full of shit, chef.
- [The camera cuts to Dan flipping the bird to Zach behind his back]
- Zach: And Chef, right now if you don't believe me as I'm telling you this, he's (Dan) literally giving me the finger behind his back.
- Dan: Oh, I did. I just gave him the finger, chef.
- Gordon: He what?!
- Zach: He's–he's doing like this to me right now... [turns around to mimic what Dan just did]
- Dan: Yeah.
- Zach: ...behind your back. This is the kind of attitude that we put up with on a consistent basis. And the team is sick of it.
- Gordon: You know, after all this bullshit and the bad performances, I’ve definitely got the right four here. What I’m struggling with is which one of you to send home. My decision is...(pause)...Ray. Give me your jacket.
- [When it looks like Ray is about to leave Hell’s Kitchen]
- Gordon: DAN! Give me your jacket, please. Nedra, give me your jacket, please. Mary, give me your jacket, please. [all those chefs remove their jackets and hand them over to Gordon] Tonight was such a fucking disaster, I’ve decided to do something I’ve never, ever, EVER done before! All four of you...
- TO BE CONTINUED
Episode Seven [11.07]
- [Continuing from last episode]
- Gordon: ...are now on probation. Go back in line!
- Ray & Mary: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Don’t thank me yet! And here’s why: Each and every one of you will have to earn your jacket back by the end of the next dinner service, and if you don’t...you’re history.
- [Gordon checks on halibut brought up by Barret]
- Gordon: All of you, come here.
- Barret: (interview) Fuck!
- Gordon: [points to a table of senior women] See those six glamourous ladies, slightly older? Yeah. And look.
- Barret: Oh.
- Dan: Oh, my God!
- Gordon: [gets a parchment paper from a halibut] The paper.
- Jon: [to Barret] You left the parchment on there, man?
- Zach: (interview) What, you trying to kill people? By the time you swallow it, it's too late. You're on the floor with Jean-Philippe doing CPR on you. [scoffs] Who the fuck want that?
- Gordon: [quietly to Barret] Hey, come here you. It's not a fucking joke. You should be ashamed.
- Barret: I am. I am ashamed. (interview) Tonight of all nights, I'm just praying that we didn't lose this dinner service. [facepalms]
- Gordon: Paper to a senior. [crosses to the Red kitchen out of disgust]
- Narrator: While Barret starts over on the fish, in the red kitchen, the women are very excited.
- Susan: Our last ticket!
- Narrator: To be closing in on the finish line.
- Susan: We got this!
- Gordon: Hey!
- Red Team: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Shut the fuck up! High-fiving each other, last ticket, it's the same fucking ticket! Two wellington, two chicken, one halibut, one cod.
Episode Eight [11.8]
- [During the Farm Fresh challenge, where everyone had to herd the animals whose proteins were to be used in their dishes]
- Gordon: [sees Nedra with a scared look on her face] What's wrong, Nedra?
- Nedra: I am scared shit-less. (interview) I'm scared of animals. Goats, turkeys and shit.
- Gordon: Come on.
- Nedra: (interview) I'm scared of my own damn dog! That should tell y'all something!
- Ja'Nel: Turkeys are pretty mean, aren't they?
- Anthony: Well, you're about to find out.
- [Nedra takes a deep breath]
- Gordon: Nedra, let's go!
- Nedra: (interview) I'm still scared than a motherfucker, but I'm gonna do it!
- Gordon: Let's go!
- Cyndi: Open the gate!
- [Nedra runs around screaming in fear of the animals while everyone, including Gordon, laughs]
- Susan: (interview) At this point, the animals are actually chasing Nedra. It's comedy, but at the same time, the guys are running in and out no problem. What if we don't get to cook?
- Nedra: Oh, shit!
- Gordon: Nedra, you're running out of time!
- Amanda: COME ON, NEDRA! YOU'RE KILLING US!
- Narrator: With Nedra paralyzed by fear, the Blue Team charges, wrestles, and manhandles their way across the finish line.
- Gordon: Blue Team, well done.
- Narrator: Meanwhile...
- Nedra: Ooh, shit!
- Susan: NOW!
- Amanda: NEDRA!!
- Nedra: STOP CALLING MY NAME! [Gordon holds back laughter]
- [Gordon checks on pizza brought up by Dan]
- Gordon: That's burnt. [returns to the workstation] Fuck you all! [knocks the workstation] Damn! Come here, all of you! Come on! Hey look, there's no garnish around there and that's the biggest bit. Look at that there.
- Dan: Fuck me!
- Gordon: [raises the pizza and drops it] For kids, and kids, fucking kids!
- Jon: (interview) Dan is like a monkey wrench in a machine. You're killing me, man!
- Gordon: Start again and get it together!
- Blue Team: Yes, chef!
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Jacqueline]
- Gordon: Oh, Jesus. They're rubber. Scallops are overcooked! Rubber, look at that one. Just touch that one there. Just touch it there! Come on, get me some more in there!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: You've got the easiest appetiser!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef. (interview) Fuck me.
- Gordon: Hey, fuck you!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Okay? [returns a tray of appetizers to the workstation] Hey, fuck you all! Cold pizza, cold fish and chips, re-fire urgently!
- Amanda: (interview) What the hell is she thinking? We have to redo a whole ticket over one freaking order of scallops. This sucks.
- [Gordon checks on cheeseburger brought up by Ray]
- Gordon: Stone-cold. [returns to workstation] Hey, all of you. [points to Ray] You first, FUCK-WIT! Come here!
- Ray: Oh, what the fuck? (interview) No, this can't be happening.
- Gordon: Just touch that. Just touch the burger.
- Ray: Oh, it's fucked, chef.
- Gordon: Touch it, touch it.
- Ray: I got one sitting right there, chef. I got another one right there.
- Gordon: [angrily throws the burger on the workstation] Who's that table?
- Anthony: (interview) A cold cheeseburger. How the hell does something like that happen?
- Gordon: That's my family.
- Dan: (interview) He just brought a perfect storm our way. Thanks, dude.
- Gordon: At this stage of the game, I don't expect the, "I'm sorry!" IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH! [knocks his hand on the workstation] IT'S FUCKED!!
- Ray: I have another one, chef.
- Jon: (interview) Get it together, man. A cold burger?
- Gordon: [to Ray] Hey, you have the audacity to send it to my son! I wouldn't do that to your family!
- Ray: Totally my fault. (interview) It was a bad mistake. I will dream of this all night, and I will remember for years from now. Years from now.
- [The Red Team successfully completes dinner service while the Blue Team is still struggling on entrées]
- Gordon: Ladies, come here. Great job. The dining room is full with children. Jump into the Blue Team and help me get their entrées out. Let's go now, all of you.
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Ja'Nel: (interview) I don't wanna be a jerk, but we're totally blowing these boys out of the water. And I'm really thoroughly enjoying it.
- Mary: Barret, what you got?! I'll help you!
- Barret: I'm good. I'm staying on my station, I'm good.
- Nedra: (interview) The Blue Team, they looking at us like, "Uh-uh! Uh-uh! Uh-uh! I don't need no help!" Evidently, you do 'cause this is a total clusterfuck!
- [Gordon checks on chicken brought up by Barret]
- Gordon: I've got raw chicken here.
- James Avery: It's for my wife.
- Gordon: [returns the chicken to the workstation] HEY! For Chef James's wife, pink chicken.
- Jon: (interview) Raw fish, people can survive. Under-cooked meat, you can cook it more. Like, it's not going to kill you. Fucking raw chicken will fucking kill you.
- Gordon: Chef James' wife is pregnant.
- Mary: Oh, my gosh.
- Barret: (interview) I can't even look at Chef James in the eyes. He's like a triple black belt in taekwondo. This dude could probably fuck me up right now.
- Gordon: My family and James' family. Red Team, Red Team, take over! Let's go! Move!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- [During elimination]
- Gordon: Dan, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
- Dan: I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I showed you that I do know how to cook.
- Michael: What?
- Gordon: How can you screw up a pizza, Dan? You have become a bit of an outcast. The team almost despises you.
- Dan: The team doesn't like me, I don't give a fuck.
- Gordon: I'm not expecting you to be best friends, but you have to work together! [pause] Barret. At this stage of the game, you should be getting stronger.
- Barret: I am getting stronger, chef.
- Gordon: You...?
- Barret: I–I get knocked down, I get back up.
- Gordon: You're going backwards! And at times watching you, I don't think you give a shit!
- Barret: I do give a shit.
- Gordon: Really? It's not just about the fancy hair and...
- Barret: No, really!
- Gordon: You got a funny way of showing it. The person leaving Hell's Kitchen... Dan. Give me your jacket, big boy. [Dan takes off his jacket and walks up to Gordon] Your time is done.
- Dan: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Thank you.
- Dan: (interview) Barret, you are a weapons-grade douchebag. Zach, you're two-faced as shit. Michael, you are S-T-O-O-P-I-D, stupid! My message to the Blue Team is, [throws both middle fingers up] "Shove it up your ass."
- Gordon: Dan was just too much of a wild card. There's no way I'm betting a restaurant in Vegas on him.
Episode Nine [11.09]
- Narrator: Mary's sliders finally leave the kitchen.
- Susan: Come on, ladies, pick it up.

- Mary: Oh, my gosh!
- Cyndi: Oh, man.
- Jacqueline: (interview) God almighty. Fucking hair?!
- Gordon: Re-fire urgently!
- Mary: Yes, chef! (interview) I guess it could've been my hair. My hair's really long.
- Gordon: IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!
- Mary: No, chef! I can do BETTER!
- Gordon: I FUCKING WANT BETTER!
- Mary: YES, CHEF!
- [Gordon notices the Red Team not cooking any entrées]
- Gordon: Hey, pedicure, manicure! How long?!
- Jacqueline: We're waiting for Susan!
- [Cut to the dining room, Susan is serving prime rib tableside]
- Gordon: No, no! Fuck you! She's (Susan) slicing the prime rib! And you just stopped the whole fucking kitchen. [calls the Red Team to the pass] All of you! [calls Susan in the dining room] SUSAN!
- Susan: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: COME HERE, YOU!
- Susan: (interview) I know everyone keeps saying, "Jacqueline is an amazing chef, she's so strong." [to Gordon] Yes, chef?
- Gordon: [to Jacqueline] You just stopped sending entrées! [to Susan] Did you tell her (Jacqueline) to stop?!
- Susan: No.
- Gordon: Oh, really?!
- Susan: (interview) But if you can't perform when the lights turn on, then it's worthless.
- Gordon: We are now stopped serving meat that we're dying for. [to Jacqueline] Have you heard of anything so fucking stupid?!
- Jacqueline: No.
- Gordon: The less you give me your best, GO HOME! OVER!!
- Jacqueline: Yes, chef.

- Ray: Oh, fuck me. (interview) Oh, my God. He just can't catch a break.
- Gordon: [to Ray] Come here, you. Just fucking come here! Who cooked it?
- Ray: I—
- Gordon: ANSWER!!!
- Ray: I did, chef. I cooked it. I'll take it. I did, chef.
- Gordon: This is where it goes so fucking badly!
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: It's not even rendered in there!
- Ray: I understand, chef.
- Gordon: Two of you on the section! [knocks his hand on the workstation] Do you have any fight left?!
- Anthony: Michael, make another one!
- Michael: I'm going to cook. I'm going to cook.
- Jon: (interview) Ray, Michael. Pull your heads out of your asses and cook the fucking meat!
- Ray: Here, I got the fucking New York strip, okay?
- Michael: I got it on.
- Ray: Don't rush the steaks!
- Michael: (interview) Ray, please stop talking. Let me fucking cook the meat. I got it.
- Gordon: How long for that New York strip?
- Michael: Three and a half, chef.
- Gordon: Oh, fuck! Take the table back. Oh, fuck me. [gives the tray of entrées to Ray] Ray, hey. Yeah, fuck off. Take that. Take it. A fucking joke!
- Anthony: (interview) Meat station, we're drowning here, and you're the weight wrapped around our ankle. Come on!
- Gordon: One and a half, I can live with. I can go out there and kiss their arse!
- Michael: Right, chef.
- Gordon: I mean for God's SAKE!
- [Gordon checks on filet mignon brought up by Amanda]
- Gordon: Raw, raw, fucking raw. [returns to the workstation] Oh, fucking hell!
- Amanda: Fuck my life!
- Gordon: Raw filet! The easiest to cook, the most glamourous, the most in demand, cold and raw!
- Amanda: (interview) Jacqueline says it's good, I trusted her, and they're raw.
- Gordon: Raw in the middle! Hey, Amanda! It's not sushi night, it's steak night!
- Amanda: Yes, chef!
- [Gordon checks on filet mignon brought up by Jacqueline]
- Gordon: It's raw now. Now they're taking the piss. [returns to the workstation and repeatedly punches it] What is it for the second fucking time?!
- Amanda: It's fucking raw, chef!
- Gordon: That's right! It's FUCKING RAW! [throws a filet on the workstation]
- Amanda: I have two more in the oven.
- Gordon: [points to Amanda, Jacqueline, Nedra and Cyndi] You, you, you, you! FUCK OFF, ALL FOUR OF YOU! GET OUT!! GET OUT!!
- Gordon: Jacqueline talked a good game. But unfortunately for her, I need someone who can deliver.
Episode Ten [11.10]
- [Gordon checks the tuna is about to be served for the quinceañera celebrant; found out it was cold]
- Gordon: You are kidding me. It's ice-cold. HEY! ALL OF YOU COME HERE, HURRY UP! [returns the tuna at the workstation; then knocks twice on the counter] Just touch that! Touch that with your fingers.
- Ja'Nel & Cyndi: Stone-cold.
- Gordon: Stone-cold? It's ICE-COLD!
- Amanda: Fuck!
- Gordon: Something so easy! Who seared it?!
- Amanda: Nedra seared it.
- Nedra: (interview, blinks her eyes) Fuck you, Amanda! You skating on thin ice! [to herself] It's not the one I seared.
- Gordon: [drops the tuna onto the workstation] Fucking hell! [throws a spoon away] I just don't know where to go! A piece of fish that big that can't be seared! [knocks over the workstation twice] MERDE!
- Nedra: Chef, I did not take it out of the pan—
- Amanda: Nedra seared it, chef. I got it.
- Gordon: [quotes Amanda] "Nedra seared it, I got it?" [throws a spoon with disappointment]

- Jean-Philippe: [walks into red kitchen] Hey guys, don't—don't let us down, please. Yeah? We need to start the waltz here tonight, yeah?!
- Gordon: EVERYBODY ELSE IS FINISHED!
- Amanda: It's coming right now! I need a minute!
- Jean-Philippe: Come on now. [returns to dining room]
- Amanda: Let's go!
- Nedra: Here! [accidentally drops tuna] Fuck me!
- Gordon: Oh, my God! [knocks hand on workstation]
- Cyndi: (interview) Are you kidding me?! Take control of your station, Amanda!
- Nedra: She bumped into me, chef.
- Jean-Philippe: Chef, I can't hold them anymore.
- Gordon: This is an absolute joke!
- Amanda: She (Nedra) took over searing, I'm gonna take it over!
- Nedra: Fuck.
- Gordon: WHO IS IN CHARGE?!
- Amanda: I'm in charge, chef.
- Gordon: TELL HER, THEN!
- Amanda: [to Nedra] I'm in charge!
- Nedra: Alright, get your tuna! Fuck. (interview) If you don't want my help, I ain't gonna fucking give it to you. Figure it out on your own.
- Gordon: [sees Amanda's pan catch on fire] What the fuck is going on there?!
- Cyndi: I don't know, chef.
- Gordon: LOOK AT THEM! THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY!!
- Nedra: Yeah, it's not—it's my fault.
- [Eventually, Jean-Philippe gives in and allows the quinceañera guests to start dancing while the Red Team re-fires their last appetizer]
- Gordon: Let's start at the waltz. I've never seen individuals screw the easiest fucking appetizers in the world!
- Amanda: I'm more embarrassed than you are, trust me!
- Gordon: Oh, please.
- Amanda: Sorry. I'm sorry!
- Gordon: Oh, fuck off. Fuck off. [to Amanda] Hey, [angrily drops tray of dirty dishes] fuck off! Fuck off!
- Ja'Nel: Do I need to drop another ravioli?
- Gordon: Hey! Hey, all of you, come here. [to Blue Team] Hey, waltz has started! HURRY UP! Look at the speed of them! [everyone on the Red Team goes into the blue kitchen] You guys are moving slower than the fucking waltz!
- Ja'Nel & Nedra: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [to Blue Team] Entrées are firing now. Top table first. It has to go together!
- Ray: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: What is difficult here? [punches workstation]
- Anthony: Nothing, chef.
- Gordon: Blue Team! Away now: Two salmon, two ribeye, one chicken, one linguini.
- Blue Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Red Team: Two linguini, two chicken, one ribeye, one salmon!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Hey, BLUE TEAM!
- Blue Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: I want it in six minutes!
- Blue Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Get some momentum! MOVE!
- Zach: Yes, chef.
- Anthony: (interview) Thanks to the Red Team, Chef Ramsay is pissed off. We really need to be on our game because that anger is just gonna be multiplied by ten if we start fucking up.
- [Gordon notices that Zach under-portioned the potato garnish for the ribeyes he brought to the pass]
- Narrator: Now that Nedra's moist and delicious chicken has completed the order for the head table...
- Jean-Philippe: [to Breanna] Thank you for your patience.
- Narrator: ...the Red Team and the Blue Team are sending entrées out to the rest of the dining room. But in the blue kitchen...
- Zach: [walks to the pass] Here you go.
- Narrator: ...Chef Ramsay...
- Gordon: The two ribeye, you got potatoes for one there.
- Narrator: ...has a complaint that is sounding a little familiar.
- Gordon: [returns to workstation] I got two ribeyes, Zach! And I got one portion!
- Zach: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: I told you, get lots of potatoes on!
- Zach: My potatoes are all ready. Calm down. [pause; Anthony and Michael look up in surprise]
- Gordon: Hey. Hey, smart-arse. Come here, you!
- Zach: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: What does it take you four times to understand?!
- Zach: It doesn't, chef.
- Gordon: Look at me! So when you fucking get told to do it, why don't you do it, then?!
- Zach: I—I made a mistake, chef. It won't happen again. I'm on it. (interview) Chef, you don't gotta bark! Chill! [cooks potatoes] Motherfucker. (interview) He's always, [imitates Gordon yelling at him] Fucking relax, dude! [to Gordon] Here you are, chef.
- Gordon: You're just killing us for nothing!
- Zach: No, I'm not killing it, chef!
- Gordon: Get the fucking potatoes on, then!
- Zach: Yes, chef! Not a problem, chef!
- Gordon: Look at me! [holds up plate] There's the potatoes, okay?! Three fucking times, get the potatoes on! "Oh, chef, I'm gonna work hard tonight!" FUCK YOU, ZACH!
- Zach: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Next time, you're fucking history!
- Zach: Yes, chef! [to Jon] Chef hates me, don't he?
- Jon: Nah, he hates everybody.
- [Gordon notices something in the shrimp for the linguini brought to the pass by Barret]
- Gordon: [returns to workstation] All of you, hey! Everybody, over here! [punches workstation twice] Let's go! Hey! Look—look what I get. Look. [pulls out burnt toothpick from shrimp]
- Michael: What? What is that?
- Gordon: That's a charred fucking stick in a piece of rubber bullet.
- Barret: Oh, shit.
- Gordon: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
- Barret: I'll put more in.
- Gordon: It's got a black piece of cinder in there! [knocks hand on workstation] SHIT!! I want two linguini URGENTLY!
- Barret: With new shrimp! Yes, chef! One minute to the pass, chef!
- Gordon: Last ticket, and he's fucking letting you down!
- Barret: Guys, I'm not letting nobody down.
- Anthony: Alright, good! Then you better fucking have it, Barret!
Episode Eleven [11.11]
- [Nedra is responsible for the lobster linguini course on the Red Team]
- Gordon: Five and a half to the window!
- Red Team: Yes, chef.
- Susan: [to Nedra] Is pasta gonna be ready?
- Nedra: (interview) Like, really, Susan? Shut the fuck up. I told you it was gonna be five minutes. It's gonna be five minutes.
- Gordon: Nedra, is it boiling? [pause: Nedra doesn't respond] Oh, my God. IT'S YOUR DISH!
- Cyndi: (interview) Nedra, this is not a hard concept. [to her teammates] I got a lid. [looks at pasta] We're not at four minutes.
- Susan: We're not?
- Gordon: Is that water boiling yet?!
- Nedra: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Lift off the lid. [Nedra takes the lid off the pot] It's not boiling!
- Nedra: No, chef. It's at a simmer, chef.
- Gordon: Ladies!
- Red Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: The water's not boiling! Right now, I'm done! Can someone get some foil in there or SOMETHING?! [takes off heating element on stove while Nedra wraps the pot in foil]
- Ja'Nel: (interview) Chef Ramsay coming to show us how to boil pasta is pretty pathetic.
- Gordon: [to Nedra] That'll be boiling guaranteed in less than thirty seconds.
- Nedra: Thank you, chef. (interview) How hard is it to fuck up linguini? Evidently, I fucked it up.
- Gordon: They're (Blue Team) plating. How long?
- Nedra: A minute.
- [Ray decides to plate the Blue Team's linguini course by himself]
- Gordon: Look, he's got four other people to help him.
- Jon: (interview) Ray's on a different planet. He's just got blinders on.
- Gordon: Why is Ray serving? Anthony's behind you doing nothing.
- James Avery: Ray, you're in charge. You gotta—
- Ray: I know that, chef!
- James Avery: [shushes Ray] You need to lead them! What are they doing?! They're waiting for your direction!
- Ray: Guys, make sure the lobster's enough for each dish. Okay, Zach? Like this.
- Zach: (interview) Don't worry, Grandpa. It's not all gonna turn to shit. I promise you.
- Gordon: Hey, Zach. Look at that, and look at that. [one of the plates is revealed to have no lobster]
- Ray: There's no lobster on this app!
- Gordon: But you should be leading this then! TELL HIM!!
- Ray: Zach, make this one look just like that. (interview) Zach, I showed you what to do. Does that mean I have to fucking stand over you constantly?
- Gordon: Hey, Blue Team. [holds up two plates of linguini] Half a portion on there, look. Full portion on there. LOOK AT ME! Half a portion, full portion!
- Ray: Zach, do me a favor. Fuck off, please. [hands Zach an empty plate] Take it over there, you're killing me. You're killing me.
- Zach: You're trying to throw me under the bus. (interview) Meat shouldn't die.
- Ray: You're making me look like an asshole.
- Gordon: This course is taking a long time for something so simple.
- Narrator: The combination of Ray's lack of leadership and Zach's poor portioning are slowing down the Blue Team...
- Jon: [to Ray] Dude, watch the portion on that, man
- Narrator: ...giving Nedra a chance to get her linguini cooked...
- Gordon: Come on, Nedra.
- Narrator: ...plated and delivered to the dining room ahead of the men's second course.
- Gordon: RAY!
- Ray: We're going, chef.
- Michael: (interview) Ray, buddy, come on. A lunch lady could do this right now. No offense to you, lunch ladies. You're awesome.
- Gordon: [quickly checks plates] Go.
- Ray: (interview) You can only go so fast sometimes. I mean, holy crap.
- Gordon: [to Ray] That was fucking embarrassing.
- Gordon: Mary, Michael! Risotto, how long?
- Mary: Eight minutes to the window!
- Gordon: [to Michael] How long?
- Michael: I can do it in eight.
- Mary: Alright, heard.
- Gordon: Let's go, eight minutes to the window! [to Ray] Hey, granddad! Move with that linguini!
- Mary: [to Susan] Get the rice on, [to Cyndi] get the stock in the pot!
- Susan: And we're using mushroom stock for this?
- Mary: Mushroom stock.
- Gordon: Yeah, I hope so, Susan. That's why it's called a mushroom risotto.
- Susan: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Please. I know you're blonde, but you're not stupid, right?
- Susan: (interview) First of all, [touches her hair] this is fake.
- Gordon: Mushroom risotto, you're asking her, "Are we using the mushroom stock?"
- Susan: No, no! No, I'm reminding—I was just reminding her, chef. (interview) You're blonde, too, Chef Ramsay. So what does that say about you?
- [Ray has to re-fire an earlier undercooked linguini while the Blue Team serves their third course]
- Jean-Philippe: [to Ray] Right, where's the lobster?
- Ray: Chef, it's coming.
- Jean-Philippe: This is embarrassing, yeah?!
- Ray: Zach, do me a favor. [hands bowl of sauce to Zach] Toss that in the butter for the lobster tail real fast for me, please.
- Zach: (interview) So earlier, Chef Ray tells me to fuck off. And now I'm definitely gonna get revenge. I'm trying to sabotage him.
- Anthony: [to Zach] You got Ray's lobster tail right there?
- Zach: (interview) I'm thinking I can fuck it up with cold sauce. [hands Ray plate of linguini at the pass] Here you are, Chef Ray. (interview) I'm the last person you wanna cross. This is the lesson learned the hard fucking way.
- Gordon: [returns to workstation after checking the linguini] Hey. Come here. Just touch that. Hey, no, no. [to Zach] Yeah, you, 'cause you fucking brought it. It's cold! Ray, it's cold! One minute before your fucking linguini's ready! [punches workstation] MERDE! [to Zach and Ray] When are you two gonna wake up?!
- Zach: Now, chef. (interview) Ha! I'm just laughing thinking to myself, "I got you."
- Gordon: [to Ray] He's standing behind there. You let him fucking sabotage you?
- Ray: No. (interview) I'm so fucking pissed at Zach. I'm like, "Dude, you just—you fucked me."
- Gordon: What's he got against you? What is it?
- Ray: I don't know, chef.
- Zach: Chef, I don't have nothing against him. (interview, laughs)
- Gordon: Ray's age was not the issue, it was his cooking. And I was not getting any younger waiting for him to improve.
Episode Twelve [11.12]
- Gordon: We're firing apps brilliantly, and now we're gonna start firing entrées.
- Anthony: Heard that, chef.
- Gordon: Okay? First table away. Don't fall behind!
- Anthony: Absolutely.
- Blue Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Red team, away now: one New York strip, one branzino. They go with the Blue team at the exact same time, yes?
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Zach, one pork, one filet.
- Zach: I'm ready now, one minute!
- Gordon: Hey, come here, you fuck-face. This is where he doesn't understand jack shit. "I'm ready now, one minute." And yet the Red Tteam need a bit of fucking time. [points to the Red Team] I wouldn't let them do that to you, so why are you doing that to them?!
- Zach: Um, chef, three minutes?
- Gordon: What'd you think?! We started off with what?! [holds his hand up]
- Zach: Five.
- Gordon: Thank you.
- Zach: (interview) Unbelievable. Let me just keep my mouth shut. Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Is that clear now?!
- Zach: Yes, that's very clear!
- Gordon: I appreciate that!
- Zach: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: That's why I called you "fuck-face!"
- Zach: Not a problem!
- Gordon: Because you're fucking them (Red Team) and you're fucking me!
- Zach: I don't wanna fuck anybody!
- Gordon: Thank you!
- Zach: Thank you! (interview) Did I just have a conversation with Chef Ramsay about fucking? [cuts to Zach in the kitchen, smiling] Yes, I did.
- [Gordon checks the sauce with his finger, then brings it back into the kitchen]
- Gordon: Hey, all of you! Just come here. Yeah, HURRY UP! [pounds the table] Just touch that.
- [The Blue Team touches the sauce]
- Gordon: No, no, no—Hey, touch it first!
- Zach: Aw.
- Gordon: Yeah!
- Anthony: Got it going!
- Gordon: Hey, Anthony!
- Zach: Fuck!
- Anthony: Chef?
- Gordon: He (Zach) can't tell you the sauce, you can't fucking boil it for me, and it's stone cold.
- Jon: (interview) Oh, my God. Are you kidding me? We were ahead. What the fuck happened?
- Gordon: I'm dying on a filet!
- Jon: (to Anthony) Wake the fuck up!
- Gordon: Hey, at this fucking level of the game, I don't expect COLD SAUCE!!! [to Zach] When you bring your filet, why isn't your sauce in your mind?
- Zach: Because, chef, it's over here. I'm thinking it's going to the pass.
- Gordon: Well, get the sauce, and do it yourself!
- Zach: (interview) Anthony, how do you forget to heat up sauce? I'm not putting all my sweat, all my hard work, all my ideas on to a plate for you to fuck it up with cold sauce.
- Michael: Come on, guys. Come on. (interview) Zach, are you kidding me, bro? You didn't even have the sauce warm?
- [Gordon checks the halibut brought by Jon, then returns it to the kitchen]
- Gordon: Hey.
- Jon: Yeah?
- Gordon: Raw halibut in the center.
- Michael: No!
- Gordon: Yes, YES!
- Jon: Fucking shit. Fucking shit!
- Zach: (interview) Raw halibut. Chef Mike is doing a new-age sushi style, to where it's raw in the middle, but the outside is cooked.
- Michael: Oh, my God! Guys, I'm sorry.
- Anthony: Just fix it!
- Jon: Come on, Mike. You've got to fucking pick this shit up, dude.
- Zach: Just fix it, baby!
- Gordon: Can someone get his head out of the sand?!
- Zach: Come on, Chef Mike! Fix it! You're better than that!
- Michael: I got it! I got it!
- Gordon: MICHAEL!
- Michael: Chef! [Gordon slowly puts his arms down] I've got it. (interview) I can do this. I'll fix them, and make them perfect. I just need to get the two halibut as fast as I can.
- James Avery: Are you coming along with two halibut? Guys, you're fucking me right now! Get your shit together!
- Michael: [brings the halibut to the pass] Behind. Two halibut
- [Chef Ramsay and Sous Chef James check the halibut]
- Gordon: What is that? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [checks the halibut] Jesus. [returns to workstation] What is this? That's how that came up there. What is that? [to Michael] Look. Yeah, just—just touch that. No, there. There. And the next bit. It's just dry, Michael. Dry, stringy, and fucking mushy, and do you know what? Here's the sad news: They weren't even re-fired at the same time. I've put you put one in there, and I've watched you reheat one that I didn't send. You didn't have the balls to cook me two fresh. One gets a reheat, the other gets one left slightly dry. [Gordon waves his hand at Michael] Hey, you. Hey, you! Come here, you!
- Zach: (interview) Oh, man. Sucks to be Mike.
- Gordon: JP! Hey, come here, you. Come here, you! Fucking get in here, you Belgian twat! Time out for this guy, five minutes. Fuck off in the bar. There's your buzzer. Fuck off, Michael!
- Zach: (interview) DAMN! That's what I do with my eight-year-old!
Episode Thirteen [11.13]
- [Continuing from the last episode, the red team drew a name out of a hat for which member to move to the blue team instead of deliberating.]
- Gordon: All of you, head back to the red fucking kitchen and spend two minutes and decide amongst you! Hurry up! I didn't ask you to stick it in a fucking hat like some fucking game show! What is this?!
- [Ja'Nel and Nedra are next to have their dishes sampled during the ethnic cuisine challenge]
- Gordon: Nedra, please.
- Nedra: I have here a nice curry broth and some deep-fried calamari.
- Gordon: Fried calamari, don't see a lot of in Thailand.
- Nedra: I wanted to do, just something out of the box.
- Dana Bowen: [after tasting the dish] Calamari is nicely cooked, but I'm not getting a lot of herbs or other flavors. This is very highly seasoned.
- Gordon: Flavors haven't been cooked out.
- Nedra: Never cooked Thai before, so...
- Gordon: Okay. Ja'Nel, please.
- Ja'Nel: I wanted to do just a nice, steamed halibut. I made a lemongrass coconut broth.
- Dana Bowen: Well, that's just gorgeous. This is a smart reinterpretation of a Thai classic dish.
- Nedra: (interview) Really?
- Dana Bowen: [after sipping the broth] Oh, that's fantastic.
- Nedra: (interview) Really?! Like, really?!
- Gordon: It's got that vibrance to it.
- Nedra: (interview) What?!
- Dana Bowen: And—and what's... Let me just... [tastes broth again]
- Gordon: Wow, delicious.
- Nedra: (interview) Come on!
- Dana Bowen: The fish is soaking up the flavors of the coconut milk. I just think this is remarkable.
- Nedra: (interview) Like, seriously?!
- Gordon: Red Team or Blue Team?
- Dana Bowen: I have to say Red Team.
- Nedra: (interview) What the fuck? Really?!
- [Zach is the last on the Blue Team to present his dish and he mispronounces the Asian ingredients he used]
- Zach: Um, this is a Japanese noodle, pan-seared chicken, fresh Napa cabbage, bok chewy...
- Nedra: (interview) What the fuck is bok chewy? You mean bok choy, fool?!
- Zach: My sauce is a suey (soy) sauce. [Susan and Mary snicker]
- Nedra: (interview) You don't—See, that's what I'm saying.
- Dana Bowen: This on top is a fried herb leaf?
- Zach: Um... I'm not actually sure what the herb is. [Gordon facepalms] This is my first time actually making Japanese cuisine.
- Nedra: [quietly] Douche.
- Gordon: Two scallops, one capellini, one risotto. How long?
- Nedra: Two minutes on risotto!
- Jon: Two minutes on the risotto! I'm firing scallops!
- Gordon: Let's go!
- Nedra: [to Zach] Hey, I need just some salt.
- Zach: Right there. Right there, Nedra.
- Nedra: That's sugar! I need salt!
- Zach: No, that's salt! I'm looking at the box, Nedra! Don't panic, baby.
- Nedra: Thank you. [to Gordon] Coming to the pass with risotto!
- Gordon: Scallops!
- Jon: I'm pulling the scallops now. [walks to pass] Right here, chef.
- Gordon: Go, go. Let's go. Go, go, go. [to Nedra] Risotto?
- Nedra: Yes, chef! Coming right now!
- Gordon: Yeah, but it's not fast enough!
- Zach: (interview) Nedra's over there like she's fucking painting a picture. Like a fucking Picasso or something. [claps] Move your ass!
- Gordon: Look at the fucking energy in here! Risotto! Is anyone listening?!
- Zach & Nedra: Yes, chef!
- Jon: Keep it pushing!
- Nedra: Coming to the pass! [walks to pass] Right behind you, hot, chef.
- Gordon: [returns to workstation after quickly tasting risotto] All of you, come here! Quick, taste! [spits out risotto after tasting it again] And the first mouthful, what's the thing that hits you straight away?
- Nedra: Salt, chef.
- Gordon: Too salty!
- Jon: Yeah. (interview) Dude, Nedra. Come on, man. Pull your shit together.
- Gordon: And what happens now, Anthony? 'Cause we can't get to a great start, the fish and meat is gonna get slammed.
- Anthony: Right, right! Absolutely, we'll get this fixed!
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Ja'Nel]
- Gordon: They're overcooked. No, no, no, no, no.
- Andi: Oh, shit. She only did one side.
- Susan: Yeah, we're moving. We got this.
- Gordon: [returns to workstation] We're not fucking moving and you haven't got anything. What is that shit?!
- Ja'Nel: I'll do it again, chef. I'm sorry, chef.
- Gordon: Look at them. Just touch them. That is disgusting!
- Ja'Nel: (interview) This is my worst nightmare. Fuck!
- Gordon: I cannot believe you done that! What is happening in here?! [points to Susan] She's cooking four risottos, we need two [points to Ja'Nel] and you're bastardising scallops! I'll reduce the menu, I'll pull down the appetisers, pull down the entrées for you to SHINE!
- Susan: (interview) Ja'Nel is drowning at this point. You are dragging the team down.
- Gordon: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!
- Mary: (interview) I just want to slap her. Ja'Nel, wake up! Come on! You're so much better than this!
- Gordon: Get a grip!
- Ja'Nel: Yes, chef.
- Susan: [to Ja'Nel] Go get it, chef. You'll get better, chef.
- Ja'Nel: Give me two minutes on those scallops.
- Susan: We got this. We're good.
- Gordon: "We got this?" Fucking hell. She (Ja'Nel) can't even cook a scallop.
- Gordon: Nedra!
- Nedra: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Why can't you do the cold? [to Zach] Why did she drop (the pasta) that?
- Zach: She said she don't need any help.
- Gordon: My worry is the slowness.
- Nedra: (interview) Chef, just watch how to let me fucking do this, I don't need no help!
- Gordon: If I was in the Blue Team, I'd have her off the fucking appetisers, I'll put her on the garnish, and someone with a pair of balls could step up and take over that fucking mess! [to the Blue Team; goes to Nedra's station] All of you, come here! Just look! Just look at the fucking mess in here! The shit, the disarray, the disorganisation and look, [gets a basket of pasta on Nedra's station] look, look. LOOK AT THE MESS!!
- Nedra: YES, CHEF! I'M GOING TO GET IT TOGETHER!
- Anthony: Then let's fucking do it!
- Jon: Yeah, organize your shit!
- Zach: Yeah!
- Nedra: Come on, Zach. You're fucking me up.
- Zach: No, it's no Zach. It's no Zach. You had your shit like a fucking mess.
- Nedra: (interview) I don't need nobody to fucking help me. Zach, move out the way. He is a stupid mother... mother, okay?
- Jon: [to Nedra] You gonna pull this shit together?
- Nedra: YES! I'M GONNA PULL IT TOGETHER!
- Jon: Fucking do it now, or I'm taking over your station.
- Zach: Come on, Nedra. You gotta be organized, baby.
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Jon]
- Gordon: This is a joke. They're not seared! [returns to the workstation] All of you, come here! Quick!
- Jon: Are you serious?
- Gordon: Like mush. Mush, mush, MUSH! [knocks his hand on the workstation] It's just a fucking joke.
- Anthony: Yes, chef! (interview) God, are you kidding me?! We can't even get past hot apps this late of the competition? God, it's humiliating!
- Gordon: Yet again, we are fucking struggling! I'm putting in the gas, I'm turning on the engine, I'm driving every fucking table! I'M DONE!!
- Anthony: (interview) Please, don't let this be happening again.
- Gordon: [points to every member of the Blue Team] Listen, listen, listen, listen! FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF! GET OUT!! GET OUT!! IDIOTS!!
- Zach: (interview, claps sarcastically) Way to go, Blue Team. Way to grab your balls. I'm furious. I'm super upset. [to his teammates in the dorms] I didn't get a fucking chance to cook shit!
- [Gordon touches halibut brought up by Ja'Nel]
- Gordon: That's raw.
- Mary: There's going to be another—
- Gordon: [interrupting Mary] No, it's not four minutes, come here! It's sushi time. Just touch that. [to Ja'Nel] I don't know what you're doing now. Do you know who this is for?
- Cyndi: The VIP, chef.
- Ja'Nel: (interview) The one VIP in the house and I'm fucking ruining it. [to Gordon] Sorry, chef. (interview) I hope this is a bad dream. I mean someone pinch me, slap me, shake me out of this hell hole that I'm in right now.
- Gordon: I'm done! [points to every member of the Red Team] YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU! FUCK OFF OUT OF HERE!!
- Cyndi: Fuck me!
- Gordon: GET OUT! [to Cyndi] Hey! Excuse me, madam!
- Cyndi: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: "Fuck me?!" How about, "FUCK YOU!"
- Cyndi: (interview) How are we making these stupid mistakes?
- Gordon: I'm done! FUCK OFF! OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!!
- Cyndi: Fuck, man!
- Mary: And I sent up all my garnishes.
- [Sous Chef Andi enters the red kitchen after the Red Team leaves]
- Gordon: Fucking useless. [to Jean-Philippe] Hey, JP. I deeply apologize, but this has been the worst service. Shut it down!
- [Nedra argues with Zach when the Blue Team decides to vote for her to be eliminated]
- Nedra: Zach, who do you think the weakest chef is?
- Zach: Basing it on tonight's service, it would have to be you.
- Nedra: Nope. I'm not the weakest chef! I'm not!
- Jon: Nedra, you really fucked us on apps tonight.
- Zach: Nedra, before we even started service, Chef (Ramsay) said to Chef James, "Look at Nedra's station."
- Nedra: Hold on! You're not about to fucking beat me down! Let's get that fucking straight! (interview) They can fucking kiss my whole asshole if they think I'm going up. They sabotaged me. [to Zach; gets up from couch] I didn't disorganize my station. [points at Anthony and Zach] You two motherfuckers did!
- Zach: What?!
- Nedra: My station wasn't ready, but everybody else's station was ready!
- Zach: I want the floor next.
- Nedra: Hold on! HOLD ON! My first risotto come good, then you bring your black ass over there and fucking fuck up my station! Then, all my fucking risottos go out! YOUR BITCH ASS IS GOING UP! OR ANTHONY! BETWEEN YOU TWO!
- Zach: WHY WOULD ANTHONY BE PUT UP?! (interview) Nedra, we're not the Red Team. We're not scared of your attitude. [to Nedra] Get it all out. Get it all out now.
- Nedra: You two can fucking fight about it. I'm not going up. Fuck that! You can kiss my ass if you think I'm going up! [walks towards kitchen]
- Zach: Nedra... [pause] You're going up.
- Nedra: I'm not fucking going up! Fuck you! I ain't fucking going up, so you and Anthony need to fucking decide!
- Zach: Your ass is outta here.
- Nedra: Fuck you! [goes into bedroom] THIS BITCH AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!
- [During elimination]
- Gordon: Blue Team.
- Blue Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Have you reached a decision?
- Zach: Yes, chef.
- Nedra: No, chef.
- Gordon: [facepalms] Oh, come on. [sees Jon raise his hand] Jon, tell me.
- Jon: Nedra completely screwed us on apps, didn't have her station organized. Everybody—
- Nedra: Chef, I had my station organized, and...
- Jon: Here we go.
- Nedra: ...Anthony and Zach rearranged my station three times, chef! [Zach shakes his head]
- Gordon: They sabotaged you?
- Nedra: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Is that right, Zach?
- Zach: No, chef. That's not true at all. I haven't even gone to her station until I went over there to make the Caesar (salad).
- Nedra: And–and that was a total clusterfuck back there! And that was all Zach and Anthony! They screwed me tonight, chef!
- Zach: That's a blatant lie.
- Nedra: YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING LIAR! EXCUSE ME, CHEF! ZACH IS A LIAR!
- Zach: Nobody touched any of her risotto or any of that! It was everybody's fault but Nedra's! [Jon nods in agreement]
- Gordon: Who is the weakest cook in the Blue Team?
- Nedra: I think Zach!
- Gordon: I get that.
- Zach: Nedra clearly, chef!
- Jon: I–I'm gonna have to hit Nedra on that one. [to Nedra] You didn't speak up when you needed to!
- Nedra: I did speak up!! I told Zach to get the fuck off of my station...
- Zach: That's not speaking up!
- Nedra: ...when he was sabotaging me! Clearly!
- Gordon: STOP! I've had enough.
- Gordon: Nedra wore a red jacket and a blue jacket, but after tonight's performance, I knew that she wouldn't be wearing a black jacket.

- Anthony: Coming up!
- Gordon: Jon!
- Jon: [to Anthony] I–I asked you for two lobster tails, man. I did, chef. (interview) He comes up with one lobster tail.
- Anthony: Thought it was the one. My bad. (interview) I swore he only said he needed one.
- [Flashback to Jon clearly telling Anthony to poach two lobster tails instead of one]
- Gordon: [to Anthony] You got called two risotto, you bring up one lobster tail! Wake up!
- Anthony: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Man up...
- Anthony: Absolutely, chef.
- Gordon: ...step up, get out a pan and start talking to your team!
- Anthony: Fixing it, chef! Abso-fucking-lutely!
- Jon: (interview) Anthony's hanging on by a thread.
- Anthony: Alright, I got two coming up on the next one. Yes, Jon?
- Jon: Anthony, just clear your head and put the shit out, please.
- Anthony: Right.
- [Gordon checks a plate of risotto before returning to the workstation]
- Gordon: Come here! All of you, come here! [punches workstation repeatedly] Just touch that. It's overcooked! Come on, Anthony! The lobster should be like butter!
- Anthony: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Not some fucking bubblegum in your mouth! You're the only weak link in this chain right now. [pause] Hurry up!
- Anthony: Yes, chef!
- [Gordon checks halibut with Sous Chef James]
- Gordon: [touches fish] Fucking halibut's raw. [returns to workstation] Fish is raw! Anthony! Hey, all of you, come here. [walks to back of blue kitchen] All of you, come here! [to Jon] Yeah, that's you as well. Come here! Chef's table over there, VIP, and look at this. [to Anthony] Come here, you. Look at this.
- Jon: Fucking raw, man. Fuck.
- Gordon: Yeah, just—
- Zach: Come on, man. Come on, Anthony.
- Gordon: Yeah, no, just touch it. Just touch it. Just touch it inside. Cold and raw! FUCK! [to Anthony] Come here, you! Come here! Get it back in the oven, Jon!
- Jon: Yes, chef.
- [Gordon takes Anthony into the pantry and closes the door]
- Gordon: One's cooked, one's raw! One's cooked, one's raw! You just got your head out of your arse, now you're talking. But you're sending me RAW FOOD!
- Anthony: I'm trying to fix it, chef!
- Gordon: What is going on?! Every other fish is cooked, every other fish is undercooked!
- Anthony: (interview) His words are just hitting me in the face like a punch. And in this tiny room, the fucking walls are shaking.
- Gordon: GET A GRIP!
- Anthony: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: HURRY UP!!
- Anthony: Abso-fucking-lutely, chef!
- Gordon: Can I have those fucking wellingtons now?
- Zach: [walks to pass] Walking right to the pass, chef.
- Gordon: [touches wellingtons] It's raw. [returns to workstation] Yeah...
- Jon: Zach!
- Gordon: Stop! All of you, stop!
- Jon: (interview, groans) Ugh. We can't win. It's like if it's not one person, it's another person.
- Gordon: Look at that. Just touch that. Sliced one, okay? Next to the other one. So, it's raw! So, you went and sliced the other one. And look! [to Zach] Does that not look dry to you?!
- Zach: Chef, I—I cut it...
- Gordon: Hey. Hey, look at me. I swear to God, you can fuck off. I want clean, straight fucking answers!
- Zach: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Look at me! I'm up to here with your shit!
- Zach: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Does that not look dry to you?!
- Zach: Yes, chef, it looks dry.
- Gordon: It's ridiculous. That's not the standard of Hell's Kitchen!
- Jon: Fix it, Zach.
- Zach: One minute.
- Gordon: [to James] Send the two halibut, please.
- Jon: (interview) Dude, please tell me you have more wellingtons.
- Gordon: [sees Zach kneeling low to look for extra wellingtons] Come on, Zach!
- Zach: (interview) I told Chef, "Give me one minute." But, uh, I realize I don't have any wellington ready in case of. [unwraps wellington pastries] Oh, come on. My God.
- Gordon: Two wellington, how long?! [sees Zach put wellingtons in the oven] Come on, Zach! How long for two wellington?!
- Zach: (interview) My heart is racing like a cardiac patient. Last thing I wanna do is tell Chef Ramsay, "It's gonna be twenty minutes for beef wellington!"
- Gordon: Can I have an idea of what's happening?
- Zach: I'm working, chef! It's in the oven cooking, chef!
- Gordon: I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING, BUT HOW ABOUT GIVING ME A TIME!
- Zach: Twenty minutes tops.
- Gordon: Twenty minutes?! [pause] Oh, my God.
- Narrator: Faced with a twenty minute wait for wellingtons in the blue kitchen...
- Gordon: Wow. What the fuck can I do?
- Narrator: ...Chef Ramsay is forced to do something he almost never does.
- Gordon: [walks into red kitchen; to Susan] Are these (wellingtons) extra?
- Susan: They will be extra, chef.
- Gordon: I need these.
- Susan: You can take them all, chef.
- Gordon: [picks up two extra wellingtons and returns to the blue kitchen] Fucking Jesus.
- Susan: (interview) Apparently, somewhere in the blue kitchen, they need these extra wellingtons. And of course, they're cooked perfectly, so right now I'm gonna make someone else look good.
- Cyndi: He took your wellingtons for the Blue Team?
- Susan: Yeah.
- Gordon: [cuts wellingtons in half] This is a disaster.
- Jon: You see that? They (Red Team) saved our asses, man.
- Anthony: (interview) As the Blue Team, we are now using Red Team's food. That's... just humiliating.
- Zach: Fuck me.
- [8:33PM]
- Narrator: It's two and a half hours into dinner service and all of the red diners have been fed. But thanks to Zach's careless performance...
- Gordon: Is that lamb— [sees that it's burnt] Oh, please! Does that not look like it's overcooked? Hey, you!
- Jon: That's fucking burnt, dude! Just throw that in the trash!
- Gordon: [to Zach] Hey, you! Hey! Hey, fuck-face!
- Jeremy Sisto: [laughs with his friend] Fuck-face?
- Narrator: ...the men are struggling with the two remaining tickets and all eyes are on Zach's lamb.
- Gordon: Looks like elephant shit from here!
- Zach: I understand, chef. I'm just waiting for the fish.
- Gordon: You fucking give me one more excuse, I swear to God, take your jacket and fuck off out of here!
- Zach: [pause] I'm sorry, chef.
- Gordon: Stop making excuses!
- Zach: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Two lamb, one wellington, one bass. How long? [Zach doesn't answer; goes over to Zach's station] Just put it down, I can do the rest. Fuck off, Zach.
- Anthony: (interview) Chef Ramsay has just had it. He comes in and just says, "You know what, Zach? I'm going to work your station now."
- Zach: Chef, should I put it fat side down first?
- Gordon: Now he's asking me stupid questions. "Hey, chef, can I brush my teeth? Hey, chef, uh... can I change my pants?" One mistake and he's so frazzled. Five minutes to the window.
- Anthony: Five minutes. Two lamb, two halibut, heard that.
- Zach: Chef, don't touch those handles, chef.
- Gordon: Zach, leave me alone. Leave me alone. Customers had their appetisers forty fucking minutes ago. Leave me alone.
- Jon: (interview) Just please shut the fuck up. Don't push it, man. Just go disappear somewhere.
- Gordon: Two minutes to the window.
- Gordon: Anthony hobbled through Hell's Kitchen, and even though his leg eventually got better, his cooking didn't.
Episode Sixteen [11.16]
- [Gordon checks on lobster brought up by Cyndi]
- Gordon: Cyndi? Hey all of you, come here. Come here! Just touch that. Touch that lobster. When it's something so curly like that, what does it mean?
- Susan: Overcooked, chef.
- Gordon: So it fucking [throws the lobster hard against the wall] bounces off the fucking wall!
- Susan: (interview) Did that just happened?! It is black jackets time, we could not be making these stupid mistakes.

- Mary: Oh, crap!
- Gordon: Now, the lobster is raw!
- Mary: Ugh!

- Gordon: [leads the Red Team to the pantry] Come here you. All three of you, come here! [to Andi] Andi, take over! SUSAN!
- Susan: Yes—I'm coming! I'm coming chef!
- Gordon: Get in here!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Mary: Come on!
- Gordon: [angrily slams the door] What's happening?! What's the matter with you?!
- Mary: (interview) I have never been in the pantry with Chef and it's never a good thing when he takes you back there.
- Gordon: You've got to get a standard inside you! You're screwing the Red team!
- Cyndi: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: I'd rather slow down and increase the standard than sending me shit!
- Red Team: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: WAKE UP! All of you!
- Red Team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: There once was a chef named Zach,
- For words he didn't lack.
- But in the kitchen, he was no magician,
- And he won't be coming back.

- Mary: (interview) Ugh! It's disgusting!
- Gordon: Come here. All of you, come here. [leads the Final five to the back counter; points to Antonio Sabàto, Jr. at the Chef's Table] We have a VIP guest in the fucking kitchen. What is that? IT'S MUSH! ABSOLUTE MUSH!! What is happening?!
- Ja'Nel: (interview) I can't believe it. It's just really embarrassing.

- Final Five: Yes, chef!
- Susan: Two minutes on this order: one halibut, one New York!
- Jon: Three minutes, heard.
- Gordon: Who called? What's she yelling about? Susan called out halibut, New York steak and we haven't sent out the appetisers. What's going, Susan?
- Susan: Right now, we have one halibut, and one New York!
- Gordon: Hey, all of you, come here! Stop what you're doing, all of you. She's firing entrées, one halibut, one New York strip. FYI, dumbo, we haven't even sent the appetisers!

- Gordon: Step up. Here you go. (takes off his apron and gives it to Susan) Here you go. You fucking run it then. Here you go. Andi, leave her alone.

- Susan: Sorry.
- Gordon: You run it! Fuck it, there you go, run it! (tosses his tongs on the hotplate) Fucking good luck. Off you go. This is a fucking joke. Andi, fuck them! Leave them! (Gordon and Andi walk out of the kitchen) Pathetic!
- Gordon: Susan had little experience, but she came a long way. She's not ready to lead my kitchen in Vegas, but I'm happy to say that she'll be leaving Hell's Kitchen as a real chef.
