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 [7.01]
- [At a press conference Gordon is holding before the Signature dish challenge]
- Gordon: I want to officially guarantee that we will complete the opening night dinner service at Hell's Kitchen!
- Jason Ellis: (interview) Oh, man! Has he lost his damn mind? Why would you promise that?
- Autumn: (interview) I'm like, thinking to myself, I don't know how we're going to do that. It's never been done before.
- Gordon: Is that clear?
- Contestants: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: I can't hear you, is that clear?
- Contestants: YES, CHEF!
- [Signature dishes; among the sixteen chefs is Tana Ramsay in disguise.]
- Gordon: Okay, so there are few out there who are executive chefs, right? [Jay and Siobhan raises their hands] Okay, good. There was one I seem to remember, you (points to Tana) with the glasses.
- Tana: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: What do you do for a living?
- Tana: I'm a mom, but I'm a cookbook author.
- Gordon: Never worked in a restaurant?
- Tana: No, chef.
- Gordon: Okay, let's start from the bottom. Bring your dish.
- Fran: [whispering] Oh, geez.
- Gordon: Apart from looking like a baby vomit, what is that?
- Tana: It's a veal scallopini.
- Gordon: (tastes the dish) Oh, God. (to the lady) Listen to me. That dish... was delicious.
- Tana: [smiles] Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: I mean, I'm shocked. It may looked slightly dull and boring, a little bit like you. But well done! [the chefs laugh] Don't look so nervous.
- Tana: You're scary.
- Gordon: I'll give you a hug, yeah? Right. Relax, relax, relax.
- Maria: (interview) That is not his side. He doesn't just hug people. He's not that type of person. He's not personable at all.
- Gordon: What a great start! If this is the sight of things to come, well done! Thank you! [kisses her on her cheeks] God, it was good! [kisses her on her lips; the chefs were shocked and started laughing]
- Holli: I wanted to be first! [the others laugh]
- Jamie Bisoulis: (interview) Chef Ramsay, you're a little slutty.
- Siobhan: (interview) I was just so stunned, Chef Ramsay really did like that dish.
- Gordon: That was fucking amazing. [chefs laugh again; to the chefs] Listen to me, before we go any further: this person is not who you think she is. [Tana removes her glasses] This person is... my wife. [Tana removes her disguise] Tana. (to Tana) Take that off. [chefs gave her an applause]
- Jay: (interview) Thank God it's his wife. He just like, licked her teeth.
- Gordon: [to Tana] A job well done. [kisses her again]
- Jay: (interview) What a filthy bastard!
- Gordon: [to the chefs] The point I'm trying to make is that I don't give two fucks about how much experience you've got. What I do care about, if who has the magic, who has it? She definitely has it. [to Tana] Well done, my darling.
- Tana: Thank you. [to the chefs] Good luck to you all.
- Gordon: Thank you, for helping to make my point. Thank you.
- Gordon: [looking at Holli's signature dish] Now what the fuck is that thing there?
- Holli: Halibut wrapped in a banana leaf.
- Gordon: And that's is your signature dish? [throws away the leaf]
- Holli: It's a... like a classic Indian dish.
- Gordon: I've been to India, I haven't seen food like that.
- Holli: It's Northern Indian.
- Gordon: Northern Indian?
- Holli: I believe... Yeah, I believe Northern Indian. I believe it has...
- Gordon: [tastes and spits it out] Ugh!
- Holli: I messed it up a bit.
- Gordon: You messed it up a bit?
- Holli: Yes, I did.
- Gordon: You're being polite! [dumps the dish in the trash] Holli, that was a disaster.
- [Mikey and Siobhan remove the lids from their signature dishes]
- Gordon: Now... [pause; to Mikey] what the fuck's going on with your hair? [Mikey swipes his mohawk] Do you mind if I touch it? Is it... [touches Mikey's hair] Oh, it doesn't get—Holy crap! What is that?
- Mikey: Wax, chef.
- Gordon: Wax?!
- Mikey: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Did you fall in it? [Mikey laughs with some of the contestants] What's with the tattoos? How many do you have?
- Mikey: Uh, quite a few, chef. My latest one, chef... [pulls up bottom of shirt]
- Gordon: Oh, shit.
- Holli: Oh, wow!
- Nilka: Wow.
- Maria: Oh, my God!
- Nilka: Wow!
- [Cut back to Mikey, who is revealed to have a Hell's Kitchen logo tattooed on his stomach]
- Jay: (interview) I have just one word, and it's "what-the-fuck."
- Gordon: Clearly dedicated. Let's see if you can execute. What is that?
- Mikey: Brie stuffed with lobster.
- Gordon: [after tasting dish] Looks a mess... but it tastes delicious.
- Mikey: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: [looking at Andrew's dish] Now, what is that?
- Andrew Forster: Steak Tartare. [licks his lips] I guess the inspiration from that came from the fact that I've raised and butchered my own animals and I like to eat them raw. [the other chefs are shocked by this fact] (interview) When I win this competition, I'm going to buy two walk in coolers. That's all I want is two walk in coolers.
- Gordon: Do you do some form of Hell's Kitchen Hannibal Lecter?
- Andrew Forster: Maybe. (interview) Then I can start butchering animals which is what I like to do.
- Gordon: [tastes the tartare] Bland. What a shame. [to Nilka] Okay, Nilka, why did you become a chef?
- Nilka: I love cooking. That is my passion. (interview) I'm a single mom with three kids. I want to teach my kids that in order to get something in life, you have to go for it. I know I'm going to win Hell's Kitchen. I will not settle for less.
- Gordon: And this is your...
- Nilka: My sweet and spicy wings.
- Gordon: So, chicken wings?
- Nilka: Uh-huh. This is an old family favorite.
- Gordon: [bites into a wing] Fucking hell, they're hot. My lips are fucking burning!
- Nilka: I apologize, chef.
- Gordon: How much Tabasco did you put in there?
- Nilka: Um, half a bottle.
- Gordon: Half a bottle of Tabasco?!
- Fran: [whispering] We're screwed.
- Nilka: I apologize.
- Gordon: [drinks water and spits it out] Jesus shit!
- Siobhan: Holy shit!
- Gordon: That's going to blow your fucking arsehole out! Burned my mouth. Nobody gets a point. But the men win. Congratulations, well done.
- Gordon: [looking at Jamie's dish] What is that?
- Jamie: It's a cream of chicken kiev.
- Gordon: What in the fuck is that?
- Jamie: That... That is the toothpick. Please don't eat that.
- Gordon: Can you imagine if that hit someone's throat?
- Jamie: (interview) I'm a little embarrassed.
- Gordon: I'm not even going to taste it.
- Jamie: (interview) Pretty much... a lot embarrassed.
- Gordon: Okay. Scott, what is the dish?
- Scott: You have a duck breast, parsnips in star anise. (interview) It'll be a struggle for me to be a cook amongst other cooks because I've been accustomed to being a chef amongst cooks. I would be embarrassed to finish second place.
- Gordon: I mean it's, you know...rather pathetic. There's not one appetizing ingredient. [to Jamie and Scott] No one's won that one. Fuck off, both of you.
- Gordon: So how long have you been cooking?
- Salvatore: I've been a pizza chef for 21 years, chef.
- Gordon: And where are you from?
- Salvatore: Naples, Italy, chef.
- Gordon: How long have you been in the U.S.?
- Salvatore: 21 years.
- Gordon: 21 years? Holy crap! How come the accent's so strong?
- Salvatore: For woman.
- [The ladies start smiling and giggling]
- Jason: Oh my God.
- Salvatore: Girls like in America, so I kept it.
- Gordon: Okay. So what is this?
- Salvatore: It's bucatini amatriciana.
- Gordon: And you made the bucatini?
- Salvatore: No, I didn't make it, chef.
- Gordon: An Italian that doesn't make his own pasta? From Naples? [takes a bite of pasta] Is that normally undercooked like that? Embarrassing!
- [Gordon checks on potatoes brought up by Fran]
- Gordon: Un-fucking-believable. Look at this. I got bits of fucking no cooking, overcooked and that one there, look. I can't even describe that one there! Come on, ladies! Fuck off, will you?
- Fran: (interview) Now, he can make you dizzy. Oh, my God. Why did I sent that up to him like that.
- Gordon: How long for the potatoes? [Fran doesn't answer]
- Holli: Time for the potatoes, Fran.
- Gordon: She's not even answering me.
- Fran: Two minutes, chef!
- Gordon: Oh, my God.
- Narrator: While the red team gets a pep talk from Autumn, over in the blue kitchen, Chef Ramsay looks for Benjamin to maintain Hell's Kitchen's standards.
- Gordon: Hey, guys, get a grip. And you start tasting stuff huh?
- Benjamin: Yes, chef. [tastes the risotto and puts the spoon back in it]
- Gordon: Oh, fuck me. Hey, Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Come here! There's customers standing right over there.
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You're tasting the food and putting the spoon back in it!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef. (interview) I stirred it. I tasted it. I stirred it again instead of dropping my spoons in the water.
- Gordon: You can't stand there and eat the food and dip all your fucking saliva in there and then serve it! I'm not serving that!
- Benjamin: Throw it away, let's start again.
- Narrator: Benjamin's performance has left a bad taste in Chef Ramsay's mouth. Meanwhile, Fran works on her lobster risotto.
- Fran: [cooking the lobster risotto] It's got lobster right? Okay, lobster. Here we go. I think we're good there. [Gordon looks at the "lobster"] Yes, sir? That's lobster, no?
- Gordon: That's crab! SHIT!
- Fran: Fuck!
- Gordon: You're putting the crab in the lobster risotto!
- Fran: (interview) I put the crab by accident. We switched the things. Yeah, I made a mistake but give me a break!
- Gordon: Can someone explain to Fran what the fuck a lobster looks like?!
- Autumn: (interview) I don't know how Fran is gonna explain her performance tonight. I mean her 30 years of experience, I'm guessing wasn't in this type of restaurant?
- Fran: I'm sorry!
- Autumn: Alright, everybody stop what you're doing, and concentrate.
- Fran: (interview) Autumn, I saw her true colors today. She wasn't part of the team; we're all sweating our ass off and she's sitting there sitting pretty.
- Narrator: It's 45 minutes into dinner service and Chef Ramsay's guarantee to serve every customer is in danger.
- Nilka: [serving tableside] Just be patient and he'll get the entrées out.
- Narrator: He's hopeful that Jamie's first entrée will get things rolling in the right direction.
- Gordon: What in the fuck is that?
- Jamie: More in the oven, chef, right?
- Gordon: Oh, leave me alone. Leave me fucking alone. [slams the beef on the stove] Just touch that there. Just all of you put your fingers on there!
- Maria: Cold, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, there you go.
- Maria: Yes, this is very cold.
- Gordon: Come here you, touch it! It's like cold cream on a fucking hot steak! [Maria laughs; Gordon stares at her] Maria, madam. Let me tell you something, there's nothing right now to laugh about. [points to Fran] I can't get sautéed potatoes. And there, you [points to Stacey], she's on her third time cooking scallops, and you think it's funny?
- Maria: But...you're right. You're right. [laughs again]
- Gordon: Now she's laughing again. What's funny then? Maria.
- Maria: Chef, nothing's funny.
- Gordon: You're not laughing, no? You're seeing things. Come here a minute! Jamie–Hey, Fran, come here. You come here. Hey: you, you, you, fuck off out of here! We'll finish the service. GET OUT! You (Siobhan) on meat!
- Fran: Chef, I'm not leaving my team, chef!
- Gordon: I'm telling you, if you don't get out, I'll drag you out! Get upstairs to the dorm! Videos, recipes, demos, it's a fucking joke!
- [Mikey brings halibut up to the pass after being rushed by Scott Hawley]
- Gordon: Fuck off! Mikey, come here! COME HERE!!! [kicks the bins] There you go, raw fucking halibut! [smashes it] Shit!
- Mikey: (interview) Chef Ramsay dynamites the thing right in front of us. There was like halibut shrapnel all over us.
- Gordon: Raw! RAAAAAAW! RAWWW! SHIT!
- Mikey: (interview) Scott was making me look bad. [to Gordon] Yes, chef.
- Gordon: RAW!!
- Narrator: An hour and a half into dinner service, with the red diners enjoying their entrees, Chef Ramsay is eager to send out Benjamin and Salvatore's final appetizers.
- Gordon: Capellini, two risotto, one scallops. How long?
- Benjamin: Five minutes chef.
- Gordon: Five minutes? Get your rice in there!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You're cooking the risotto with no fucking rice in there! How's that possible?
- Benjamin: It's not possible, chef.
- Gordon: The fucking rice has to go in before the stock!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Salvatore: (interview) Benjamin, the kind of fucking chef. He can't even cook a fucking risotto. He's a "chef".
- Gordon: What's Salvatore doing? Put it down. It's a cold pan. You got to get the pan hot first. This is basic now!
- Salvatore: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You can't put fucking cold food into a cold pan. It absorbs the olive oil. So at the center of the potato, it's like eating a mouthful of grease!
- Salvatore: Yes, chef. Sorry chef.
- Gordon: There's two of you on there. [Benjamin and Salvatore looks down] How long? [Benjamin looks at Gordon and then looks back down without responding]....He's not even listening! [calls out Salvatore and Benjamin] Hey, do me a fa - come here you! Hey, you as well. [calling out to blue haired Jay] Hey, where's fucking... Smurf? SMURF!! Come here, you. You and you, fuck off will you? Get out! Piss off!! I'm not going to stand here and struggle time after time!
- Salvatore: (interview) I don't know what happened. I got lost with the freaking appetizers.
- Gordon: Fuck off up to the dorm! GET OUT OF HERE!!
- Salvatore: (interview) Maybe he don't likes the way I talk. I don't know. He don't likes me, who knows? Maybe he don't likes Italian people!
- Gordon: How can I wait nearly two hours for an entrée, now you want five more minutes for the salmon?
- Stacey: Three minutes.
- Gordon: How long?
- Stacey: Three minutes.
- Gordon: Three minutes now. Why are you jumping all over the place? Five, three. Tell me!
- Stacey: I'm not sure how long it's going to take.
- Gordon: You're not sure?
- Stacey: No chef.
- Gordon: Madam, come here.
- Stacey: Yes chef.
- Gordon: Right now, I'm not too sure about you! Full fucking stop! Do me one big favor: FUCK OFF OUT OF HERE! Join the rest of them! "I'm not sure!"
- [Gordon checks on halibut brought up by Mikey; after finding out that it's still raw, he has had it]
- Gordon: Halibut's raw. Unbelievable. Mikey!
- Mikey: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Come here! Again, raw fucking halibut! Take that, yeah? Do me a favour: FUCK OFF! GET OUT! Up to the FUCKING dorms! And get your fucking hair done! GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN! What is going on?!!
- [Gordon calls both teams to the pass]
- Gordon: You guys are fucking USELESS! But I am NOT going to shut this fucking place down! (to the red team) You, you, you, over there (the blue kitchen), work together! DOUBLE UP!
- Red team: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Move your arse!
- Holli: What do you guys need?
- Gordon: Fucking hell. What do we need? Yeah, I need sixteen cooks.
- Gordon: It's a good thing Stacey's a private chef, her food wasn't good enough for the public.
Episode Two [7.02]
- [During the eggs four way challenge. Siobhan who was to have cooked all four eggs by herself is next]
- Gordon: Siobhan by herself. Soft boiled egg, how long did you boil it for?
- Siobhan: Um I... I just cook them every day chef so I have a very good grasp of how long they are cooked for.
- Gordon: Just answer me the question. How long did you cook it for?
- Siobhan: My teammates helped me, chef.
- Gordon: Your teammates helped you?
- Siobhan: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: I asked you to work on your own. Because I put you out, singled you out thinking that you could cook fucking eggs four ways.
- Siobhan: I could and I wanted to.
- Gordon: You were working by yourself. So if you wanted to, why didn't you?
- Siobhan: Because there was pressure from my team.
- Nilka: Are you serious?
- Siobhan: Not from my team, from Autumn.
- Gordon: Oh, Christ almighty.
- Autumn: I just said "Let me give you a hand." I can help you make one of the eggs.
- Gordon: Which one of these four eggs did you do?
- Siobhan: I did the poached egg, chef.
- Gordon: So you only poached one egg in five minutes?
- Siobhan: I did two poached eggs.
- Gordon: One simple instruction, how can I make it any more fucking clearer than that?!
- Siobhan: I should've pushed her out of the way and I'm so mad at myself that I didn't. [starts crying] I'm so mad. (interview) I should have not listened to my teammates that were forcing me to do something that I should've known it was wrong to do. And I'm just so mad at myself.
- Gordon: Listen, please! You do as I say! Holy Moses!
- Narrator: Siobhan failed to follow his instructions and did not work on her own.
- Gordon: Is that what you're capable of doing?
- Siobhan: No, I'm so mad that I didn't step up and push her out of the way.
- Autumn: (interview) Siobhan got flustered and pointed fingers at me. She doesn't have a lot of backbone and under the pressure, she just doesn't know when to shut her mouth.
- Gordon: So you're only going to get credited for the ones you did yourself. So, you did the poached egg yes? [tastes egg] That's delicious, one point.
- Siobhan: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Fuck off, yes?
- Gordon: Next pair, Fran and Autumn. Let's go. Soft boiled egg. [slices off the top] Hold on a minute. Who cooked this?
- Autumn: I did, chef.
- Gordon: [tastes] Delicious.
- Autumn: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: [to Fran] Which one did you cook?
- Fran: Scrambled, chef.
- Gordon: [cuts into scrambled egg, which turns out to be overcooked] Well, that's chopped omelet. Ooh. Sunny side up, [tastes the egg] Not an ounce of salt anywhere. Fucking lazy cooking. [checks the poached egg which is stuck to the plate] Who poached this egg?
- Siobhan: I poached that egg, chef.
- Gordon: Oh, Jesus! One point. Fuck off, will you, yeah? Sorry, plain fucking English.
- [The entire red time walks to the dorms as they lost the eggs 4 way challenge]
- Nilka: Fucking eggs? Eggs? Fucking eggs, are you fucking shitting me? (interview) Irritating the hell out of me. Like I didn't understand Siobhan's mentality. It doesn't matter what Autumn said, you're supposed to be smart enough to do what you're supposed to do.
- Holli: Siobhan...
- Maria: Deal with it, move on.
- Holli: It doesn't matter.
- Sibohan: I just need to cry for a minute.
- Holli: Just let it out, but it doesn't matter, because.....
- Jamie: Siobhan, don't let this ruin your day.
- Siobhan: It's not going to ruin my day if I cry, It will make me feel better. (interview) I'm not going to second guess myself again. Ever!
- Nilka: She... she threw us under the bus completely!
- Autumn: Here's what happened you guys, I was like "Hey, I can fry your egg for you if you need a hand." and she said "Well, I can poach your egg." (interview) I know in this competition that I'm going to be the fall guy for a lot of things that go wrong. Strong people can take a lot. And I'm ready to take it.
- Autumn: Hey, Siobhan, it's alright. It's over, and I'm sorry that you're upset.
- Siobhan: I never fall out with anybody I always stand on my two...
- Autumn: No, you weren't following me, that's not what happened.
- Gordon: Uh... Blue Jay?
- Jay: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: [referring to Salvatore] Run upstairs and get Bozo for me, please.
- Jay: Oui, chef.
- Gordon: How long?
- Autumn: One minute, chef.
- Gordon: Why are you sea-- oh, Jesus! She's (Siobhan) cooking it, yet she's (Autumn) seasoning it!
- Autumn: No, I just added more salt.
- Gordon: [to Siobhan] Come here you! Can you cook me a risotto?
- Siobhan: Yes, chef, but she wants to do it and I'm trying and she's--.
- Gordon: TELL HER TO GET LOST! You've got to do your dish!
- Siobhan: I said that to her, but she keeps going in so I'll have to start again.
- Gordon: Oh!
- Nilka: Somebody season it, [to Autumn] let her finish her dish. We don't have time for this shit. We've lost three fucking times in a row, we've got to do what we've got do!
- Gordon: Oh, fucking hell! [walks into the blue kitchen] Get me out of here!
- [Gordon checks on risotto brought up by Mikey]
- Gordon: Yeah, rice undercooked, Mikey.
- Mikey: (interview) I didn't want it mush. That's one I hate in risottos, it's mush.
- Gordon: The rice is fucking crunchy!
- Mikey: Yes, chef. (interview) Chef Ramsay has a different outlook on risotto.
- Gordon: [calls Scott in the dining room] Carrot-top, hey come here, you! [knocks his hand on the counter] Serve me four more fucking tartare on Table 12 and four more five, please. Urgently.
- Scott Hawley: Right away, chef.
- Gordon: And apologise for the incompetence of a bunch of dicks!
- Scott Hawley: Yes, chef.
- [Jean-Philippe returns to the pass with risotto]
- Jean-Philippe: An undercooked rice.
- Gordon: Oh, fucking hell. [returns to the workstation] Yeah, gold-star! Under-fucking-cooked rice.
- Jason: (interview) Dude, snap back! Get your mind back into the game not just for yourself, but for your fucking team!
- Gordon: Yeah, [tastes the risotto and spits it out; to Mikey] young man! The rice is bullet. I'm pissed off! Hurry up, one more! What's going on?! NONE OF YOU ARE TALKING TO ME!! [bangs the overhead] Fucking MAD!! SHIT!!
- Gordon: Salvatore!.....That's the wellington cooked perfectly.
- Salvatore: Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Where is the fucking chicken?!
- Salvatore: [to Jason] The chicken?
- Jason: [slicing it and it's raw] Fuck! Should be ready. Damn!
- Ed: Hold it, you got to get that chicken to the window!
- Jason: I got it.
- Salvatore: (interview) He's always "I got it. I got it. I got it." You ain't got shit out.
- Gordon: [as Jason is cooking the sliced chicken] Where's the fucking chicken? Jason, can you talk to me, please?!
- Jason: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Where's the fucking CHICKEN?!
- Jason: Two minutes, chef.
- Gordon: [sees Jason pan-frying the chicken; throws a spoon] Oh, fuck off. Is that - oh, fuck off! I'm not cooking like that.
- Benjamin: (interview) He was rushing his chicken. The chicken wasn't even ready. Jason's not taking care of business. He totally fucked us.
- Gordon: Come here you. So the fucking chicken's raw, yeah, and you're frying it like a fucking first class - look at that. That's your best?!
- Jason: No, chef! (interview) Yes, chef, I fucked the chicken up! He got in my face. I took it like a man. Started over with a brand new chicken.
- Gordon: Fine dining?!
- Jason: No, chef!
- Gordon: A FINE FUCKING MESS!!! [kicks the bin so hard that it falls over]
- [Gordon checks on salmon brought up by Jamie]
- Gordon: Oh, God. Why's the salmon coming out like a... Hey, madam.
- Jamie: Yes, ch-chef?
- Gordon: Come here! Look, fucking salmon crispy as fuck on the bottom. Because the pan you put them in were like smoking. Like, I'd expect her (Holli) to sear a beef in it. [angrily smashes the salmon] SHIT!!
- Jamie: Okay, chef.
- Gordon: FUCKING SHIT!!
- Jamie: Re-fire two salmon, one tagliatelle. (interview) Chef Ramsay lost it and just went like Satan on my ass.
- Gordon: That wouldn't even pass as fucking kitty cat fucking cat food!
- Jamie: (interview) I think I still have some salmon in my ear.
- Gordon: You (Holli) aren't even talking to her (Jamie) and Jamie's not talking to fucking Nilka. Can you please get it together?!
- Holli: We're talking.
- Gordon: So how long then?!
- Jamie: Four minutes chef, please?
- Holli: Guys, I need seven minutes on the beef.
- Jamie: How many minutes?
- Gordon: Oh, fucking hell.
- Narrator: There's a clear lack of communication in the red kitchen. But over on the blue side, Andrew is having a pleasant conversation...
- Andrew: Don't fucking burn. Stay right there. Stay hot.
- Narrator: ...with the garnishes?
- Andrew: Stay cold. Stay there. [pushes Mikey aside] What the fuck are you doing? Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away!
- Ed: (interview) Andrew was doing great on garnishes and then all of a sudden, he flipped his lid and started talking like a maniac.
- Mikey: What do you need?
- Andrew: What do I need? I need to get out of the fucking weeds! That's what I need! What the hell do you think I need?!
- Ed: (interview) I don't know what that was.
- Andrew: Tell me how the salmon is. Please talk to me.
- Benjamin: Two and a half minutes.
- Scott Leibfried: I don't care if I get the salmon last. I want to make sure that the garnish is ready.
- Andrew: Holy shit!
- Scott Leibfried: Send the fucking plates.
- Andrew: Holy shit! Yes chef! Coming over. Coming over. Blue Jay! Come here for a second. Please start bringing these garnishes up or he's gonna fucking kill me.
- Gordon: Mash please! Where is it? [Jay brings the mashed potatoes] Why is Jay on the fucking garnish?
- Andrew: Holy shit!! Grrrrrrrr!!
- [Gordon checks on mash potatoes brought up by Andrew; finds out that it's extremely thin and runny]
- Gordon: What's he done?
- Scott Leibfried: Potato soup.
- Andrew: [to himself] Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!
- Gordon: Blue Team, come here all of you, a minute. That's you as well, Salvatore! There you go, there's our mashed potato! There you fucking go!
- [Andrew takes back the mashed potato, then puts some fresh mashed potato into the same batch]
- Gordon: Don't add it—Oh, no!
- Andrew: [snaps] Why?!
- Gordon: Come here, you idiot! Let me fucking explain why!
- Andrew: Yes, please do.
- Gordon: You've put the thick stuff in, and you add the runny to it.
- Andrew: That was a brilliant idea, chef.
- Gordon: "That's a brilliant idea, chef!" You think this is funny, don't you?
- Andrew: No, I don't think this is funny.
- Gordon: So we're serving liquid fucking mashed potato, so I expect you to put that fucking fresh stuff in a pan, and you add the liquid to it! That's not going to make any ounce of difference there, it's gone!
- Andrew: That's not true.
- Jason: (interview) Man, this guy, damn! He's just crazy!
- Andrew: And now you're going to tell me I can't cut up in the sauté pan?
- Jason: (interview) Chef Ramsay, he's like the Jay-Z of fucking restaurants! You don't talk back to a man like that!
- Gordon: Come here! I'm fucking losing my temper with you. Say that again?
- Andrew: So now I've got to take it out of the sauté pan?
- Gordon: Yeah, come here, you. Get out!
- [Chef Ramsay ushers Andrew out of the kitchen, into the dining area]
- Gordon: Yeah, get out.
- Andrew: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Yeah, fuck off.
- [Chef Ramsay and Andrew are standing in the dining area]
- Gordon: You don't care, you've got no respect, and do you know what? You're a fucking joke to the industry.
- Andrew: Am I?
- Gordon: Yeah, that's what you are! Fuck off! [walks back into the kitchen] That guy's fucking useless.
- [Andrew walks through the dining room towards the front exit; Jean-Phillipe catches up to him]
- Jean-Phillipe: What's wrong?
- Andrew: Nothing's wrong with me, JP.
- Jean-Phillipe: What are you doing here?
- Andrew: I'm walking out the damn door! What does it look like I'm doing? That man asked me to leave, and you expect me to stay here?
- Jean-Phillipe: He's just testing you.
- Andrew: Right, and if I walk back in there, I don't want to hear him yelling at me again.
- Jean-Phillipe: There are, I don't know how many people which would be willing to be in your shoes now.
- Andrew: [kicks his shoes off] You know what, they can take my shoes, JP.
- Jean-Phillipe: But...
- Andrew: I don't need this! I'm walking out these doors. (interview) Chef Ramsay got pissed at me. I'm sure he looks at me as a little prick. You know, whatever, I don't really care what Chef Ramsay thinks of me. I'm done. Have a nice day.
- Jason: (interview) Andrew, I don't know what happened to that cat. Chef Ramsay hit his ass with some fairy dust and made his ass disappear.
- Gordon: Okay, the person leaving Hell's Kitchen, for all the right reasons... Mikey! Get your fucking arse up here! [to Mikey after he walks up] You backed your team up, but not just one service, two shit services...
- [Flashback of Mikey's two miserable dinner services]
- Gordon: ...and I can't work with that.
- Mikey: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Take your jacket off. [Mikey gives his jacket to Gordon]
- Mikey: (interview outside the restaurant) Chef Ramsay really didn't like my performance. I know I did crappy, but I still got my tattoo of Hell's Kitchen and I wear it with pride. I don't regret a thing coming here and I accept my fate.
- Gordon: Mikey was all about appearances. Unfortunately for him, it didn't appear he could cook.
Episode Three [7.03]
- [After surviving elimination, Jason confronts his teammates for nominating him while the Red Team watches]
- Jason: That shit was not fucking cool! We've been here, we're supposed to be crew! We're supposed to be down for each other! These my brothers in blue?! Don't fuck me because you don't understand me! Don't sit around and plot! [Nilka voices her agreement] We don't do that shit where I'm from!!
- Jay: (interview) Jason has a temper, and I think he's starting to get a little ridiculous. [to Jason] You don't think this carries over to the kitchen?
- Jason: Get the fuck outta here.
- Jay: You're ridiculous to work with. Look at you!
- Jason: Am I upfront, outspoken? You're goddamn right! You gonna crucify me for that? (interview) Get the fuck outta here! You're fucking with my life, my wife, my kids. All of our future. [to Jay] I'm not the weakest up in there. I am not. [pushes chair] THAT AIN'T FUCKING ME! AND THEY FUCKING KNEW THAT! They knew that shit!
- Nilka: Jason!
- Jason: Stop.
- Nilka: (interview) Oh, my God! Jason just got fucking out of control.
- Jason: I could break this fucking chair right now with my goddamn hands.
- Maria: (interview) The boys are pretty screwed up right now. And they're all pissed at each other, and we have 'em right where we want 'em!
- Jason: There's nothing you can say to come back and make that shit right. You can't! [Jay shrugs] I'm gone.
- [Salvatore is an assistant maître d' for tonight's service and brings tickets to the pass.]
- Gordon: Salvatore, show me. Oh my God! What is that? What is that?
- Scott Leibfried: Ah, I can't read that.
- Gordon: Are you writing in Japanese? Fuck off will you yes?
- [Salvatore returns a wellington to the pass]
- Gordon: What's wrong with that?
- Salvatore: It's that she requested medium well.
- Gordon: Yeah, and it's not wrote on the ticket!
- Salvatore: Yes chef.
- Gordon: It's not on the fucking ticket! What do you want me to do now? Do you want to fuck your team? Go in there, take it to them, there you go.
- Salvatore: Now he's going to lose his shit. [walks into the blue kitchen] Guys, please, may I please have a wellington medium well, please? On the fly? Thank you very much.
- Gordon: Yeah, basically, it's not even written out on the ticket. So we sent it out perfectly, and it's not your fault, okay?! [to Salvatore] Don't you dare! Hey, hello! Get rid of that plate! Take the fucking plate and fuck off!
- Salvatore: (interview) I take and take it, only so many I can take. How much you can take? [walking past JP] Fuck this.
- Jean-Philippe: Where are you going?
- Salvatore: I'm leaving. (interview) Sooner or later, you start breaking apart. [walks into the dining room and waves at JP]
- Jean-Philippe: Salvatore... Salvatore...
- Salvatore: (interview) That's it.
- Jean-Philippe: Salvatore.
- Salvatore: I'm done.
- Jean-Philippe: Salvatore, hey do me a favour, don't–don't do that! Salvatore, fight back, young man! [finds Salvatore sitting on a bench] Fight back, man! Hey, listen, I've known Gordon Ramsay for sixteen years.
- Salvatore: The humiliation, it's too much.
- Jean-Philippe: No, no, no! Just don't take it personal! I mean, he names me so many different ways, yeah? It goes in, it goes out. Because...
- Salvatore: I'm done, Jean-Philippe.
- Jean-Philippe: No, you're not!
- Salvatore: I finish the service and go home tonight. [gets up and starts walking away] I put myself on the chopping block.
- Jean-Philippe: Don't do that!
- Salvatore: (interview) I know that Jean-Philippe encourage me to at least not give up on my team, but...you know, if team blue do bad, I'll put myself up the chopping block tonight.
- Gordon: Where's the halibut?
- Siobhan: Right here, chef. [brings her halibut to the pass]
- Nilka: Let's push!
- [Gordon checks the halibut; finds that it's raw]
- Gordon: Dear, oh dear. Siobhan! [returns to the workstation] There you go, come here. Just touch in there, all of you and you as well Jamie.
- Siobhan: That's my fault.
- Gordon: Yeah, touch FUCKING THAT!! [angrily smashes the halibut] So you're wasting all this time wiping her (Jamie) arse, and making yourself look stupid. Now I've got a raw halibut!
- Siobhan: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: To be a great chef you need creativity, leadership qualities, and passion. Jamie had passion.
Episode Four [7.04]
- Narrator: Siobhan is ready with her second attempt at the crab capellini.
- Siobhan: Hot pan. (brings her capellini to the pass; Gordon checks it; finds that it contains lobster again instead of crab)
- Gordon: It's the lobster again. (returns to the workstation) I've got lobster in the fucking capellini!
- Siobhan: Chef, I pulled the one right here that says crab.
- Holli: No, it's not.
- Siobhan: It says crab.
- Gordon: Look! Look! Come here! (gets some lobster) What are they? Wha-wha-wha-
- Siobhan: Oh, yeah. That is lobster.
- Gordon: Oh, come on. [shot of Kevin Frazier and his wife at the Chef's Table, laughing] Even though it says "crab", look at it. What is it?
- Siobhan: That looks like lobster, chef.
- Gordon: That's the second time.
- Siobhan: (interview) "Crab" was not crab. It was lobster.
- Gordon: Where's the crab?
- Siobhan: (interview) It was lobster.
- Gordon: Oh.
- Siobhan: Here it is, chef. I got it.
- Gordon: How can we not spot it twice, Siobhan?
- Siobhan: It's my fault, chef. (interview; sighs). [back in the kitchen] It's okay! I can do it!
- Narrator: While Siobhan tries to figure out which crustacean belongs on her station...
[Gordon checks on beef brought up by Scott Hawley]
- Gordon: Oh, dear. Scott! (returns to the workstation)
- Scott Hawley: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: All of you, come here!! Just touch that beef. Just touch it, hurry up. (points to Jason) How's that temperature?
- Jason: Rare.
- Gordon: Yeah? How's that temperature?
- Blue team: Rare.
- Gordon: (to Scott Hawley) That's fucking rare. I requested it medium!
- Scott Hawley: It was medium-rare for me, chef.
- Gordon: You're fucking miles off! And each and every one in your fucking team said it's undercooked! Just get it in the oven!!
- Scott Hawley: Yes, chef.
[Gordon checks on wellingtons brought up by Scott Hawley]
- Gordon: It's fucking raw.
- Scott Leibfried: Yeah, that's no good.
- Gordon: Everybody, come here a minute! Just touch that! I requested it rare!
- Blue team: Raw.
- Gordon: There's a big fucking difference between rare and raw! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SCOTT?! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON?
- Scott Hawley: Nothing chef.
- Jason: (interview) Scott fucked up twice; he destroyed us tonight. He should be gone.
- Jay: (interview) Scott tries to be the leader, the best, bla-bla-bla, but that was still mooing.
- Gordon: It's bright white fat! It's fucking raw!
- Ed: How long, Scott?
- Scott Hawley: I need 3 minutes, okay?
- Gordon: Fuck off, okay?!
- Gordon: After our best service yet, I've decided to give Autumn and Scott another chance. But they better excel or they'll both be gone.
Episode Five [7.05]
- [During the pork challenge]
- Gordon: What's your dish?
- Nilka: (sighs) We have blood sausage with a prune purée.
- Gordon: Already you look negative.
- Nilka: I'm not pleased with the plate, that's why I don't look happy. I'm really, really not.
- [Gordon tastes the dish, then spits it out in disgust]
- Gordon: Ugh, that's shit. Who in the fuck chose prunes with blood sausage? Talk to me, red team!
- [flashback to Scott Hawley telling Nilka and Fran to cook the prunes with blood sausage. In the present, Maria and Fran point at Scott]
- Fran: (interview) It was his decision to put those items together on the plate, and Scott's trying not to own up to it.
- Nilka: It went completely wrong.
- Gordon: Understatement of the year!
- Nilka: (interview) I knew it. I'd rather have just gone up there with an empty plate, like "voilà, chef!"
- Gordon: That's a fucking disaster. (throws the plate away)
- Maria: D'oh!
- Gordon: Right, Benjamin. What is that?
- Benjamin: We have a pan-roasted pork loin, drizzled with thyme, star anise and baby bok choi. (interview) The dish that we did was a beautiful dish. The pork was fucking gorgeous.
- Gordon: That was delicious. Just... phenomenal.
- Benjamin: (interview) I mean, I would have made love to it right there.
- [The final round of the pork challenge, with the teams tied 1-1]
- Gordon: Maria, what is that?
- Maria: You know, when we had sweet potato, I was like, "sweet potato soup," and then ham-hock, and then we do a honey-infused oil. We put another pan over it and let it pressure cook, and like, one sprig again, of thyme, we just let it marinade. Not, like, a lot. At all.
- Gordon: Breathe.
- Maria: (interview) I don't know, maybe I talk a little too much. I don't know if it's just flat-out a lack of self-control. It's just outrageous. Look at me now, I can't even stop myself.
- Gordon: Nice soup. The winning dish? [looks at Maria] Congratulations... [Maria smiles] ...you've just screwed your team! [Maria looks upset] Listen to me. I asked for the ham-hock as the main ingredient. And you're serving me a sweet potato soup garnished with a spoonful of ham-hock? Blue team, congratulations. Back in line!
- Maria: (interview) Wonderful. Idiot, I'm an idiot.
- [Only few hours before barbecue night service started]
- Nilka: [while cooking some chicken] Chicken is frying perfect.
- Gordon: [sees what Nilka is doing] Oh, come on. Why are we frying chicken off already? Come here, all of you. Bring me that tray of chicken that's fried off. [Nilka brings the chicken to the pass] This is a barbecue evening, yes? Not a fast food joint. We haven't even got an order yet and you've fried half the fucking chicken! [gets a piece of chicken] Look what you're doing to yourselves. You're fucking yourselves before we even start! (throws the chicken back to the tray)
- [Salvatore brings tickets to the pass]
- Gordon: Let's go. [reads, finds out that it says DAIGS instead of DATES] Oh Jesus! What is that there? What does that say? Wha–what... You went to school, right?
- Salvatore: No, chef.
- Gordon: You didn't go to school?
- Salvatore: No, chef.
- Gordon: What were you doing?
- Salvatore: [pause] I came to America because my family needed me, needed money.
- Gordon: So what were you doing when you didn't go to school?
- Salvatore: Working every day, chef. To help my father and my mom, bills.
- Gordon: Thank you for being honest.
- Salvatore: I'm always being honest, chef.
- Gordon: Just take your time.
- [Autumn returns to the pass with burgers]
- Gordon: Oh, guys. Come on. What's the matter?
- Autumn: They're supposed to be medium and medium-well.
- Gordon: Medium and medium-well, yes?
- Autumn: Yeah.
- Gordon: It's raw. [returns to the workstation] Siobhan, Siobhan, Siobhan. Burger requested medium-well, stone-cold in the middle and it's fucking rare! [throws the burgers in the bin] Fuck off!
- Scott: Come on, guys!
- Siobhan: Okay, re-fire two burgers.
- Gordon: TABLES ARE STARTING TO COMPLAIN!!
- [Gordon checks on fried chicken brought up by Scott]
- Gordon: How long is he cooking this for? Scott, this chicken is like something from outer space. Just feel it a little bit! It's cooked to fuck! It's like something from a leftover fast food joint, Scott! Pathetic.
- Siobhan: (interview) Scott's got the most experience, but he still screwed up the whole chicken section. I mean, just a complete disaster.
- Gordon: [Scott opens the oven door] Blackened bullshit chicken. [sees Maria next to the open oven] Oh my God. Close the fucking oven door! [goes over to Scott's station and closes the oven door] I don't want a conversation going on with the oven door open. She's (Maria) going to come pass with a fucking pan, walking back and bang! One fucking arm in the fryer, one in the fucking stove! Now STOP IT!!
- Scott: Yes, chef.
- Fran: (interview) He was working so dangerous, Scott. He should've known better.
- Gordon: We never cook with the door open! Health and fucking safety!
- Scott: This is the worst fucking night of my life right now. (interview) I feel miserable right now. Thank God nobody got hurt.
- Gordon: We're now the most dangerous kitchen in the fucking country!
- [Only one minute remaining on the Red team's half of service on Barbecue night, Gordon checks on burgers brought up by Siobhan]
- Gordon: Oh, dear. All of you, come here! ALL OF YOU!! [shows Siobhan that the burger is raw]
- Siobhan: That's my fault. Completely my fault. It was the last one I did.
- Gordon: [repeatedly smashes the burger] IT'S FUCKING RAW!!
- Siobhan: I should've asked–I needed more time.
- Gordon: STOP! Time's up! Enough is enough! Fucking shut it down!
- Siobhan: Fuck.
- Scott: (interview) That was just such a fucking joke. I mean, I don't know what else to say.
- Gordon: Maria!
- Maria: [to Scott] You already have it?
- Gordon: MARIA! Where's the ticket?!
- Maria: [snatches ticket from Maria's hand] Right here.
- Gordon: Come on, then!
- Maria: Sorry, chef.
- Gordon: Fucking hell! She's so weird!
- Maria: [to waitress] You already have a Table 33.
- Waitress: Yeah, I have two 33's now. From Holli I got one as well.
- Maria: [gasps; to Gordon] Chef! That Table 33, we double took the order, and that's a double order.
- Gordon: So, how can you take the same order twice?
- Maria: I took it and Holli took it.
- Gordon: Are you trying to screw the blue team?!
- Maria: No. No way!
- Gordon: HOLLI! HOLLI, GET YOUR ARSE IN HERE!
- Holli: [to diners] Excuse me one second, please.
- Gordon: Unbelievable! Come here, you! This is out of order!
- Maria: [to Holli] I took 33's order and you took 33's order, so we double-ordered it, and it's my fault.
- Holli: But 33's in my section.
- Maria: [to Gordon] 33's in her section. It's my fault.
- Holli: (interview) Man, Maria is losing it right now. [to Maria] Yeah, I took their order already.
- Gordon: Listen to me! LISTEN TO ME!!
- Holli: [to Maria] Listen!
- Gordon: [to Maria] Just out of interest, when you hit the table for the second time, why don't you at least check if their order's been taken?
- Maria: [deadpan] I don't know.
- Gordon: You don't know?
- Holli: (interview) I think she's overstressed or something, 'cause she's just not there.
- Gordon: [to Holli and Maria] Now, fuck off and leave me alone!
- [Autumn brings ribs to the pass]
- Narrator: Disgusted with the Red team, Chef Ramsay turns his attention to Autumn's next order of ribs.
- Gordon: Oh, Jesus! All of you, come here! Come fucking here! Just touch inside that! Oh, fuck off! IT'S STONE FUCKING COLD! ICE-COLD IN THE CENTRE!!
- Autumn: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Don't know why she's so laid back. Just walking around like you're just shopping.
- Autumn: I'm not walking around, chef. I'm–I'm rushing.
- Gordon: You're rushing?
- Autumn: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: I'd hate to see you slow.
- [Maria returns to the pass with dates]
- Gordon: What's the matter?
- Maria: Doesn't want the dates.
- Gordon: Why?
- Maria: Because I sold the–I wrote down dates and they wanted shrimp.
- Gordon: So, you're lying to me. You fucked up the order.
- Maria: Not intentionally.
- Gordon: Not intent–Come in here you! Come in! Come in! COME IN!!
- Maria: (interview) Surprise! I screwed up. Again. [enters the blue kitchen] I wrote down shrimp and they wanted dates. Er, I wrote down dates and they wanted shrimp.
- Jay: Okay.
- Gordon: Basically, she fucked up the order! Yeah? She fucked up the order! [throws the dates in the bin] Fucking bullshit!
- Narrator: With the clock running out on their two hours...
- Gordon: Come on guys, you got 25 minutes to clear this board, yes?!
- Blue Team: Yes, chef!
- Narrator: ...the blue team is moving quickly but not carefully.
- Gordon: [finds fried chicken along with fries in the fryer]All of you, come here! [gets the fryer and slams it on the stove] So who's the fucking smart-arse? Who's the fucking smart-arse?
- Jason: I put the chicken in there, chef.
- Gordon: What, with the fries?
- Jason: I just dropped the chicken in the fries, chef.
- Benjamin: Let's go! Go with the chicken! Come on!
- Gordon: Jason!
- Jason: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Jason, LOOK AT ME!
- Jason: I'm looking, chef!
- Gordon: It's not fucking good enough!
- Jason: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: It's a fucking fine dining restaurant, yeah? Not a fucking fast food pick-up joint! Get the fries out of there first, then put your fucking chicken in there!
- Jason: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Thank you!
- Jason: The fries weren't done, chef.
- Gordon: The fries are a fucking side! Get your chicken going and get the fucking–Listen to me Jason!
- Jason: I'M LISTENING, CHEF!
- Gordon: THEN, DO IT THEN!! DO IT!!!
- Jason: I'M DOING IT, CHEF!! I don't want to sit here and put up with this fucked-up ass bullshit. It's fucking crazy. I don't give a fuck. Fuck it!
- Benjamin: (interview) I don't know what's going on in Jason's head. I just wanna turn around and say, "Shut the fuck up. Just listen to what Chef has to say. Don't talk back to Chef like that."
Episode Six [7.06]
- [After escaping elimination the previous episode, Nilka confronts her teammates for throwing her under the bus]
- Nilka: I wanna tell y'all... Y'all can kiss my fucking ass! Every last one of you, 'cause that was FUCKED UP! Y'all could've told me I was going up on the chopping block!
- Fran: Nilka, I'm sorry. It wasn't–
- Nilka: Bullshit! I don't wanna hear it...
- Scott: Nilka!
- Nilka: ...and that's it!
- Scott: Nilka!
- Nilka: I don't wanna hear SHIT!
- Scott: That's gonna get you a long way if you keep it up like that.
- Nilka: I'll do what I got to do in the kitchen, but fuck y'all! And I mean that from the bottom of my ass!
- Siobhan: (interview) Oh my goodness. Nilka is completely pissed off. It was like a freaking bomb exploded.
- [Nilka notices Fran walking towards her while she smokes outside with the blue team]
- Nilka: Fran, don't come near me. Not now. Don't come near me!
- Fran: I'm sorry.
- Nilka: Like, don't come near me. I don't wanna hear it. I never voted your ass up on that fucking—No! I will do what I gotta do! I will talk to you in the kitchen, but until then, get the fuck out of my face. That's it, 'cause I don't roll like that.
- Fran: (interview) It was just the wrong freaking decision. And if I ever had to do it again, I would put myself up before that woman. That's how bad I feel right now.
- Gordon: [tonight is family night] Now, there's going to be a lot of children. Don't make me fucking swear tonight!
- Gordon: Where's the spaghetti? Who's cooking the spaghetti?
- Scott: I don't know. Is the spaghetti coming out?
- Gordon: What do you mean, "I don't know?" Why aren't you discussing it together?! Fucking hell, first ticket. Who's cooking the spaghetti?
- Siobhan: [points at Scott] They are.
- Gordon: [to Scott and Siobhan] A, come here, you and you, come here, both of you. Fuck off, will you? [walks into the blue kitchen] Who's cooking the spaghetti?!
- Benjamin: I am, chef!
- Gordon: Thank you, why?
- Benjamin: Because the garnish does sides.
- Gordon: Tell those fucking Muppets!
- Benjamin: Garnish is cooking the spaghetti.
- Siobhan: Got it. I need to cook the spaghetti. (interview) Pasta? No one told me I was cooking pasta on my side!
- Siobhan: I got the spaghetti down right now.
- Gordon: Siobhan, step one, pasta doesn't cook unless the fucking water's boiling. Pasta does not cook unless the water is...
- Siobhan: ...boiling. My fault.
- Fran: (interview) Come on! Hello? Is this brain surgery? It's pasta.
- Gordon: Hey red team, what are we doing? We're going to hold up the whole fucking dining room because we're waiting for fucking spaghetti! [to Siobhan] Get a grip! You need to wake up!
- Siobhan: Yes.
- Gordon: Oh, Jesus. Not tonight.
- Narrator: But Salvatore has a question.
- Salvatore: Chef, did you say one risotto? One risotto, one capellini?
- Scott Leibfried: Two risottos, one capellini, one truffle salad.
- Salvatore: Yes, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: Let's go. How long?
- Salvatore: One minute, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: Let's go!
- Salvatore: Yes, chef!
- Autumn: Have you got enough in there for two?
- Salvatore: Yeah, I got it. [puts more rice in the pan]
- Gordon: Why are you putting more rice in there? Is that because you just found out there's two risotto?
- Salvatore: No, no, no.
- Gordon: Oh, my God! Hey, blue team, come here, all of you! The risotto's one minute away from being cooked. He realizes we're one portion short. Then, they start dumping fresh rice in there! Who's smart idea was that?!
- Salvatore: It was my idea, chef. It was fault.
- Gordon: Why didn't you tell me, then?
- Salvatore: I apologize, chef.
- Gordon: Salvatore, working with a cook that tells lies is 10,000 times worse than working with a chef that can't cook! You just lost my trust! How dare you!? PATHETIC!! Benjamin, watch him; the guy's a fucking liability!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef. (interview) You don't lie to your chefs and you don't lie to your fellow cooks. That's like a fucking no-no.
- Gordon: Salvatore, now we should start the whole fucking lot again!
- Salvatore: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Nilka, where's the risotto?
- Nilka: Right here, chef.
- Gordon: [checks the risotto and notices something missing] Nilka, no lobster!
- Nilka: Oh, shit! I thought I put lobster in there, chef!
- Gordon: Hey, madam.
- Nilka: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [points at the dining room] You're cursing in front of the children.
- Nilka: Sorry, kids!
- Gordon: Hey look at me, I need you to wake up rapidly. Just cook!
- Nilka: You got it. Say no more.
- Narrator: With Nilka's risotto stalling the red kitchen, Jean-Philippe distracts the customers.
- Jean-Philippe: [goes over to where a little girl is coloring a picture of Gordon on her menu and adding the quote "YOU DONKEY!"] Let me have a look at it. What's on there?
- Girl: "You donkey."
- Jean-Philippe: Yeah but it's not my picture, who's picture is that? Chef Ramsay, and you call him donkey.
- Girl: No, he says it.
- Jean-Philippe: Well, whatever Chef Ramsay says now and then, don't use it.
- Girl: I won't.
- Jean-Philippe: When he's out of the kitchen, I keep reminding him, "Chef, you can't do that."
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Fran]
- Gordon: Fran! Fuck! They're overcooked, Fran! Come here! They're rubber, just touch! That's rubber! That's burnt to fuck!
- Siobhan: (interview) Can't cook freaking scallops? You know, I don't understand.
- Gordon: This is shambolic! It's a disaster! I swear to God, I'll throw every one of you out of here and Andi and I will do the fucking service because this is bullshit!
- Nilka: This shit is just fucked up!
- Gordon: So much for no fucking swearing.
- [Gordon checks on wellingtons brought up by Scott]
- Gordon: Oh, fucking hell. Oh, I just... I don't know where to fucking go! [throws his spoon away] I can't take it much more. I can't take it. It's not even pink, it's not even cooked... [Scott tries to retrieve the wellingtons] Just PUT IT DOWN! AND TOUCH IT!! Are you colour-blind?!
- Scott: No, chef.
- Gordon: GET THEM IN THE OVEN! Come here ,you! [leads Scott to the pantry and slams the door] WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!
- Scott: Nothing, chef.
- Gordon: BUT YOU KNOW IT'S NOT EVEN COOKED, IT'S RAW, SCOTT! IT'S STONE-COLD IN THE MIDDLE!!!
- Scott: Okay, chef. No problem. It won't happen again. I promise. I promise.
- [Gordon goes to Red kitchen for the Red team's entrées]
- Narrator: Teams got back on track and now Chef Ramsay gathers the Red team.
- Gordon: Come here, all of you! All of you! [Gordon interrupts Holli] That's you, ditsy!
- Narrator: For one simple question.
- Gordon: Is that the best roast chicken and is that the best fucking beef requested mid-rare? [grabs Siobhan's hand] I want you to touch it. I want you to touch it! Touch it! Touch it! Touch fucking IT! [throws spoon away]
- Holli: No.
- Fran: No, no, it's not. The chicken's dry.
- Siobhan: Where's the gratin on top?
- Scott: It got pulled off. It was on there before.
- Nilka: No, it wasn't.
- Gordon: Look at me! IS THAT THE BEST?
- Red Team: No, chef!
- Gordon: Is that the best?
- Red Team: No, chef!
- Gordon: Is that the best?!
- Red Team: No, chef!
- Gordon: Do me a favour: FUCK OFF, ALL OF YOU! GET OUT!!!! GET OUT!!! And don't you dare switch it off, I'll finish it! Fuck off!
- Nilka: I would love to stay an-
- Gordon: GET OUT! OUT! GET OUT! [throws the chicken into one of the units] GET OUT!
- Nilka: [to herself] I'm sick of this shit.
- Gordon: [follows the red team] GET OUT!
- Holli: That's really embarrassing. What happened?!
- Gordon: [goes into the blue kitchen] Scott, come in here with me and I'll finish this one, please, yeah?
- Scott Leibfried: Okay.
- Narrator: Now, Chef Ramsay and his trusted sous chefs, Scott and Andi, will complete the red kitchen's dinner service.
- Gordon: Three spaghetti, one tagliatelle, yes?
- Scott Leibfried: Three spaghetti, one t– [sees the mess that the red team left] Oh, my God! What the fuck did they do to this place?
- Gordon: Yeah, I know.
- Scott Leibfried: Wow, they're really bad, huh?
- Andi: Yeah.
- [Later, after Scott and Andi complete the red team's service]
- Narrator: While the blue team gets out all the desserts, Chef Ramsay calls the red team back to the kitchen.
- Gordon: All your entrées are served, everything's done. Now come back and do something you're good at, fucking cleaning! At least you'll do something as a team!
- [To the teams, after service]
- Gordon: Let's get one thing right, shall we? The Red Team... lost! I have never, ever, witnessed such a disastrous service in all my fucking life. It was, across the board, the most disorganized service, EVER! [pause] Okay, do me a favour. Piss off upstairs, decide on two nominees for elimination. Now, fuck off out of here! Leave me alone!
- Narrator: The Red Team lost, but there seems to be some confusion as who the nominees should be.
- Gordon: Who is the best chef on the Red Team?
- Scott: Chef, I feel like I'm the best.
- Nilka: Absolutely not! You just take over and say, "Oh well, I did this, I did that!" You want to gloat and rub it in our faces, and you don't do shit.
- Scott: It's not gloating or rubbing it in your face, it's letting you know the truth.
- Nilka: No, but own up to it! If you do it, you do it! We don't need to hear it because we've been doing it before you. [Gordon facepalms]
- Scott: None of you guys work in fine dining restaurants.
- Fran: You could have surprised us, the way you've produced over the last two days.
- Scott: Oh, thank you Fran. Yeah, you as well, you've had a pretty easy ride the whole way through.
- Fran: Yeah? I guess I did.
- Scott: Injure your hand a little bit, and you get treated like a little fucking princess.
- Fran: Oh, yeah, okay.
- Gordon: [rolls eyes] Wow. Great teamwork there. Fran and Scott, step forward. With Siobhan.
- Gordon: Fran, why the fuck do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen?
- Fran: I've got the guts to stay here, and I'd love to stay here because I have now...I can come into my own. I learn from my mistakes, one hundred percent. I never do them twice.
- Gordon: Okay. Siobhan, why do you think you should you stay in Hell's Kitchen?
- Siobhan: I take pride in my work, and I put my best effort forward. I use that little bit of knowledge I have, I have passion, and I ask a lot of questions...
- Scott: [interrupting Siobhan] You shouldn't be asking simple fucking questions. It should take care of itself. This isn't culinary school, the common-sense things are driving the Red Team down, big time.
- Gordon: Scott, why are you back here?
- Scott: I was voted up, chef. I don't–I don't agree with it. I've had a tough couple of services, but I'm a hard worker. Obviously, you know that. I just bust ass every day, I have a calmness about me during service, no matter what the stresses bring. By no means, I'm not the worst cook in this team by far, [Gordon facepalms again] I'm the best cook in this team, the best leader in this team, I can accomplish...
- Gordon: [interrupting Scott] I can't take it any more! Fran, Siobhan, fuck off back in line!
- Scott: This team will fucking die if I'm not here.
- Gordon: Scott, give me your jacket! I can't take it any more! I cannot take it. [shakes Scott's hand as Scott leaves] I kept waiting and I waited and waited, but it didn't happen. Good night.
- Scott: Good night, chef. (interview) I certainly am the best cook on the Red Team, but when you're working with teammates that aren't as qualified to be there as you are, it makes it hard. But at the end of the day, I'm still gonna go on and continue to be a great chef.
- Gordon: If Scott could cook as well as he talks, he'd be the winner of Hell's Kitchen. Unfortunately for him, he can't.
Episode Seven [7.07]
- Gordon: [checks scallops brought by Benjamin] Fucking hell. Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: They're fucking stone cold in the middle!
- Benjamin: What's that?
- Gordon: Yeah, they're fucking cold in the middle!
- Fran: (interview) You know, I like Ben, but I think he's a little pompous. He definitely thinks that he's the better cook than everybody here.
- Gordon: I'm not gonna deep-fat fry them, fucking Benjamin! But what I am is give them a little colour!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: But the sogginess around the outside is because it's stone cold in the middle! I need some more oil in the pan!!
- Benjamin: (interview) I screwed up crab cakes. Chef Ramsay's screaming and yelling at me. It sucks.
- Gordon: COME ON, BANJAMIN!
- Benjamin: (interview) I mean, it's embarrassing. [to Gordon] Coming now, chef!
- Gordon: Scallops for the 50th anniversary! [checks scallops again after Benjamin brings them to the pass] Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Now I've gone to fucking burnt fucking shit!
- [Benjamin takes the plate of burnt scallops and throws them in the bin]
- Holli: What's wrong with that?
- Siobhan: (interview) What do you do, you know? That's one of the easiest things you can do.
- Gordon: When it's brown, it's cooked, when it's black, it's fucked!
- Gordon: [checking Fran's broccolini] It's not all over cooked in there, is it?
- Fran: No, I just dropped it, chef.
- Gordon: Well, why are you draining it in one bit and not the other bit in the same fucking time?
- Fran: I just did another piece.
- Gordon: So, if you left that in there, it's going to overcook. Get the fucking hell out! It's a piece of broccolini, show a little bit of respect.
- Fran: I will, chef. Ready?
- Gordon: Now, Benjamin's on the garnish! Fucking hell. [Fran comes to the pass with piping hot undrained potatoes] Cut the bullshit! Let go! Let go! Lazy. [drains the potatoes in the sink] Madam!
- Fran: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: You fucking drain the potatoes, or next time, fuck off, yeah? Okay? You're just running over here with a hot pan and say, "There you go! You bunch of fucking idiots!"
- Fran: I'm sorry, chef!
- Gordon: Show a little bit of respect not to give me a baking hot pan!
- Fran: I won't do it again, Chef.
- Gordon: Before all the fat doesn't spread all over the fucking stupid fucking place!
- Benjamin: (interview) I think Fran is definitely over her head and you can't just disregard safety just because you're busy.
- Gordon: Engage your brain!
- Fran: Yes, chef. What are we working on next?
- Gordon: Yeah, I like that. "What are we working on?" One trout, one spaghetti, two steak. We're bound to fuck that one up.
- Gordon: Salvatore had a big heart. Too bad he couldn't cook with it.
Episode Eight [7.08]
- [Siobhan is upset with her team for leaving her out, and subsequently causing their loss, during the sandwich challenge]
- Benjamin: Hey, Siobhan. If you wanna win, we gotta win as a team. We need to make sure that the best food goes up there, okay?
- Siobhan: I knew that mine was one of the best.
- Benjamin: Okay, your sandwich was...not good. Your dish got voted off. I would not serve that sandwich in my kitchen.
- Siobhan: That's fine. And that's your personal opinion.
- Benjamin: It's not my personal opinion, this is my professional opinion. When I tell you something, it's not because I'm trying to undercut you, but you don't have the experience that I have. And if you don't know what you're doing, and you just start putting stuff together, and you need to ask for help, you need to do that. I am purely confident in my decision.
- Siobhan: (interview) You need to take a step down, get off your podium, and stop being a fucking bossy bastard!
- Benjamin: Cheese, pineapple, oranges, and tuna do not go together.
- Siobhan: [shrugs] It went together on mine. I'm confident in what I did, and that's the end of it. [takes her drink and walks away]
- Benjamin: Okay.
- Siobhan: You guys obviously have it out for me, and I don't really give a shit. (interview) They all think they're better than me? Fuck them!
- Benjamin: [stops Siobhan in the hallway] Like Chef is brutally honest, I'm brutally honest, too.
- Siobhan: Fine.
- [The blue team has returned from their wine-tasting reward and are drunk]
- Autumn: (interview, slurred speech, while footage of her laying in her bed is shown) We had a great time. It was a great bonding experience... feeling great going into the ne- the next dinner challenge and... [spins dizzily in the interview while footage of her taking her boots off and falling off the bed is shown] No more drinks for Autumn!
- [Ed stumbles into the hot tub with Holli]
- Holli: (interview) I may have encouraged Ed to drink a little bit more. [to Ed] Cheers, Ed.
- Ed: Salud, Holli. [Ed has an entire wine bottle and Holli only has a wine glass]
- Holli: (interview) Ed is completely trashed so, [giggles] it's kinda funny. [cut to Ed drinking]
- Ed: Another one.
- Holli: Cheers to that!
- Ed: Damn right. [Ed drinks some more]
- Holli: (interview) A little encouragement... [to Ed] Where's your beer? [Ed drinks even more] (interview) ..to add to his bad feelings in the morning never hurts. [laughs]
- Ed: Love you, hon.
- Holli: [now holding a cigarette] You're so drunk.
- Ed: Little bit.
- [Siobhan arrives with a cigarette]
- Ed: Siobhan!
- Siobhan: I'm coming in. (interview) I come out to the hot tub and there's Ed and Holli and I'm like, "Oh God, like, are they making out? [Siobhan gets into the hot tub] And they're like fooling around and being silly.
- [Ed begins dancing provocatively in the hot tub while Holli and Siobhan laugh]
- Siobhan: Oh, my goodness, Ed. (interview) Oh my God, the quiet reserved Ed has turned into like a wild animal.
- [Jay and Benjamin arrive]
- Jay: What're you doing, Eddie? [Benjamin lights a cigarette]
- Ed: Jay! We're dancing!
- Holli: [to Ed while she tugs on his swimming trunks, causing an audible rip] Sit.
- Ed: Did you hear that?
- Holli: Get naked, Ed.
- Jay: You won't do it.
- Ed: You dare me?
- Holli: Yes, I dare you! [Siobhan turns around and covers her eyes]
- Benjamin & Jay: I dare you.
- Jay: You're not gonna do it.
- Holli: Please? Why are you being chicken?
- [Holli tugs on Ed's trunks again and screams with Siobhan when his private parts are revealed]
- Benjamin: I'm glad I have my goggles on.
- [Ed stands up naked in the hot tub; Jay and Benjamin clap]
- Ed: (interview) Fist-pump, come and get ya, how ya like me now?
- Jay: Wow, you are drunk.
- Holli: (interview, awkward and giggly) Okay... there's Ed. [back to the dorms; tosses Ed's trunks out of the tub]
- Siobhan: (interview) He is buck naked in the hot tub! Oh, my goodness.
- Ed: [to Siobhan, who is hysterical and covering her eyes] Relax, it's a penis. (interview) Whoo, man! That shit was wild! [back to the dorms] There she goes! Get crazy!
- [Gordon asks for scallops in the red kitchen]
- Gordon: Where is the scallops?!
- Fran: How's the scallops?
- Siobhan: I had to re-fire one order of scallops.
- Gordon: [goes to Siobhan's station; gets her pan of scallops] Look at this! What are you doing there?
- Siobhan: I thought they look golden brown, chef.
- Gordon: Stop, fuck off, will you?
- Siobhan: I thought they look fine, chef.
- Gordon: You thought they look golden brown?!
- Holli: (interview) They were fucking black.
- [Gordon pours the scallops on a plate]
- Gordon: Take that, yeah?
- Siobhan: There are some on here that were fine, chef.
- Gordon: So, where's the fine ones then?
- Siobhan: They're right over here.
- Gordon: Where are they? Where are they?
- Nilka: (interview) Shut the fuck up and cook. Keep your mouth shut. "Yes, chef," and cook. Don't talk, 'cause he's only going to put his foot deeper in your ass!
- Gordon: You've got the nerve to tell me that some of it were fine. [points out some scallops] Wishy-washy, not even seasoned and you know what? More importantly, they're boiled! YOU DONKEY!! Fuck off OUT! Get out. Get out. Get out, there you go. Get out! Fuck off to the bar and eat it!
- Narrator: And Chef Ramsay has sent her to the dining room to eat her mistakes.
- Narrator: In the dining room, one customer...
- Female Diner: Is it cooked?
- Male Diner: It's rare at best.
- Female Diner: [talks to waiter] I asked for medium and that's rare completely.
- Male Diner: Shit!
- Narrator: Decides to take manners into his own hands.
- Male Diner: [at the pass] Oh no! This is rare.
- Gordon: [standing at the red kitchen] Service, please! Let's go, please! Two beef and–Oh, who is this man throwing food on the hot plate like that?
- Male Diner: Fuck!
- Gordon: What's the matter? Oh, talk to me?
- Male Diner: [pointing at the beef] Medium?
- Gordon: Excuse me? Hey, you don't come in here acting jumped up like some little gym bunny. [to male diner] Yeah, do me a favour: That's his (JP) job, you fuck off, yes?!
- Male Diner: You trying to poison me?
- Gordon: Poison you? What a fucking dick! It's beef, you fucking idiot! You eat tartare! [to male diner again] You never heard of that, have you?
- Male Diner: It's low-grade beef, at best.
- Gordon: Go get a shave, you fucking knob-head!
- Male Diner: It's low-grade dog food, at best.
- Gordon: [goes to blue kitchen] Let's go. Standing there like some fucking jerk. [to the diner] Stand strong, buddy! Stand nice and strong. Push your arms out! You look like a fucking quail!
- Narrator: Now, that Chef Ramsay has dealt with the "fowl" customer, he can refocus his attention on...
- Gordon: Nilka!
- Nilka: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Two beef, two chicken, let's go!
- [Gordon checks on chicken brought up by Nilka]
- Gordon: All of you, come here! Pink chicken. Not just pink but fucking raw! And you what? Not even cooked. Raw, raw, RAW!! [smashes the chicken on the plate]
- Holli: (interview) It's sliced! You could obviously see that's fucking raw. You can't send up raw chicken no matter what.
- Gordon: [to Nilka] I would respect you 10 times more when you tell me the chicken's raw!
- Nilka: (interview) Aaarrrggghhh! Why? I tried so hard, I don't want to fuck up tonight!
- Gordon: It's not fair! You can't just do that! The chicken's raw!!
- Nilka: You're right.
- [After failing to serve a single entrée, Gordon has finally had enough with the blue team; returns to the workstation with duck brought up by Ed]
- Gordon: Where's the fuck?!
- Ed: Ten seconds, chef. Slicing right now.
- Gordon: Don't do this to me, guys! I'm getting a bit of this, a bit of that, a bit of this, and a bit of that! COME TOGETHER!!
- Ed: [walks to pass] Sorry, chef. Duck.
- Gordon: Oh, what the... Just—just all of you, come here a minute! No, Jay, it's not good enough! That's how it comes in sliced, but yeah, it's FUCKING RAW! IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH GUYS!!! [throws his spoon on the floor]
- Ed: Let's go, guys!
- Gordon: [returns to the workstation and gives a tray of entrées to Ed] Hey, Ed, come here! Hold your hands up! Yeah, look at me! You, you, you and you, fuck off out! LEAVE ME ALONE! GET OUT! Fuck off!
- [Gordon checks on risotto brought up by Fran; after finding out that it's undercooked, he has also finally had enough with the Red team]
- Gordon: [to Fran] Hey, madam! I can't even get a fucking salad dressed! [holds up piece of lettuce] Look! Look, that's not even dressed, look! Like rabbit food!
- Benjamin: (interview) I think Fran talks like she knows how to fucking cook, but she can't do shit.
- Gordon: Not one piece, not two piece. Look, nothing.
- Fran: I'll re-do it, chef.
- Gordon: I want it dressed nicely!
- Fran: I'll re-do it, chef!
- Gordon: THAT'S A SALAD!
- Fran: (interview) You know, there's only so much one person can do that had started.
- Gordon: Two risotto, how long?!
- Fran: [walks to the pass with pans] It's coming right now!
- Holli: Come on, Fran.
- Siobhan: You can do it, Fran. Come on.
- Gordon: It's raw, every fucking bit. [to Fran] Your risotto! Madam, madam! Touch the risotto, taste the rice! Up and down, up and down, up and fucking down!! [kicks the bin] Do me a favour. Look at me! You, you, you, you and him (Benjamin), GET OUT!! Get out! Get out of my sight! Get out!
- Holli: [to Fran] Just get out. Just get out.
- Gordon: Useless bits of crap!
- [Benjamin shuts the oven door on his way out]
- Gordon: Siobhan got pushed around a lot in Hell's Kitchen. So it was up to me to finally push her out.
Episode Nine [7.09]
- [The chefs walk into the kitchen where Gordon has prepared for them a frozen dinner]
- Gordon: Morning, guys.
- Benjamin: Morning, chef.
- Gordon: Chicken gorgonzola yes? One of the dishes that's featured on the brunch menu at Claridge's. Now have a little taste.
- [The chefs taste the dish]
- Gordon: Nilka, what's it taste like?
- Nilka: It melts in your mouth.
- Fran: The chicken is delicious.
- Benjamin: I can see the tomatoes lighten up the sauce.
- Jay: Big bold spices.
- Gordon: You like it?
- Holli: Yeah, I love it.
- Jay: Delicious.
- Gordon: Good.....The dish that all of you enjoyed was in fact... frozen fucking food!
- Holli: Wow. (interview) Oh, I feel like a complete ass right now. Oh, completely.
- Gordon: The chicken was cooked about three and a half months ago. Freshness? Vibrant? Excitement? All I did was put it in a microwave!
- Jay: In retrospect, the only thing that I would question was the chicken.
- Gordon: Oh.
- Jay: I thought the chicken tasted a little watery.
- Gordon: OH, COME ON!!! [throws his towel]
- Jay: (interview) Ok, fine. I fell for it. Hook, line and sinker.
- Benjamin: What do we wanna do for sides? We have those rainbow carrots which are beautiful.
- Fran: No, it's too many colors.
- Benjamin: Listen, don't worry about fucking colors! Worry about flavors. I mean, have you seen any of the dishes that I put out that looked like shit? I'm a professional.
- Nilka: (interview) Ben was like the leader of the fucking pack. But it's aggravating when someone just keeps, you know, shouting out shit.
- Benjamin: What do we wanna do for sides?
- Nilka: I love rice, I love mashed potatoes.
- Benjamin: I'm not a big fan of serving rice in restaurants because it's like poor food.
- Nilka: Rice is poor food? Wow. (interview) That's fucking crazy.
- [Gordon samples the dishes the blue team created for their menu ]
- Gordon: So, talk to me.
- Jay: It's a baby spinach salad, it's got some crumbled goat cheese, strawberries.
- Gordon: [after eating some spinach] If I was a fucking rabbit, I'd be fucking wetting myself. That's a joke. Right, this is what?
- Jay: Chef, it's a Hawaiian style tuna tartare.
- Gordon: Okay. I've gone from bland to boring. Just bring some fucking creativity, guys. [turns his attention to the entrée]
- Jay: That's a filet mignon, pan-seared.
- Gordon: That's steak set on three potatoes with three onions. Come on! [looks at the dessert] Jesus, that is...
- Autumn: This is a berry compote, and it's a thyme whipped cream.
- Gordon: Uh-huh. [eats two spoonfuls of compote] That is quite frankly one of the worst desserts I've ever been served. [spills contents of the glass onto the table] I'm disgusted with that, guys! Across the board, too easy!
- Jay: (interview) We definitely played it safe. There's no question there, and we got called out.
- Gordon: This is your one fucking chance to show off...and so far, it's been a fucking insult, Jay.
- Jay: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Let me tell you something. Even before you serve a fucking appetizer, you're all fucked. Don't fucking insult me!
- [Deleted Scene]
- Gordon: FOUR MINUTES TO THE WINDOW, ONE SALMON, ONE BASS, TWO BEEF!
- Autumn: Yes chef
- Gordon: ONE BASS IS FUCKING MEDIUM AND I'M DRAGGING TWO MORE FUCKING BEEF HERE!
- Ed: Autumn you're not dragging them right?
- Autumn: No, I'm not dragging anything. Right let me make sure I'm not dragging any beefs, I had a whole case of beefs that I put in the lockers
- Jay: What did you ask him for?
- Autumn: I need an all day on my beef to make sure I'm not dragging anything, thank you
- Gordon: Let's go, one salmon, one bass, two beef
- Blue Team: Yes chef
- Ed: Eleven all day
- Jay: Protein reach that The Red Team took
- Autumn: Oh they took them out of our protein
- Ed: Hurry up go to The Red Team, quickly.
- Autumn: Thank you.
- [Autumn goes into the red kitchen for more beef.]
- Andi: You guys, pick it up!
- Autumn: Those steaks that we had in the walk in, do you guys have them over here?
- Andi: I didn't fucking touch your shit! Get out of here! Ask your sous-chef.
- Gordon: Where's fucking Autumn gone?
- Ed: Looking for more beef, chef.
- Gordon: What?
- Scott Leibfried: What?
- Ed: She's dragging six.
- Scott Leibfried: How come she doesn't fucking tell me? How come no one says anything?
- Ed: One medium, one medium rare.
- [Scott meets with Autumn in the pantry]:
- Autumn: Chef Scott, I had another pan of beef.
- Scott Leibfried: Get your–What do you mean you had another pan of beef that just disappeared? In your fucking mind, you have this thing where everybody's here to wait on you!
- Autumn: No, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: Get more beef, get back in the fucking kitchen and you better shape up!
- Autumn: Yes, chef.
- Narrator: While Chef Ramsay has the challenge of coordinating entrées for two kitchens, Holli has the challenge of getting the rest of her team to join her at the pass.
- Holli: [to Nilka, who's on garnish] Are you coming?
- Gordon: Garnish!
- Holli: Are you coming yet, Nilka?
- Gordon: Fuck her! Come on, you!
- Holli: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: "Are you coming?" What is this, a night out?! If you're ready, do me one big favour. Put it up there and then drag them, yes?!
- Holli: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Un-fucking-believable! You must be MAD!
- Holli: (interview) I'm like, "Okay, if my food's perfect, I'm putting it up." I can watch out for my own ass now. I don't have to worry about anybody else.
- Gordon: Holli, next time you leave that lamb dying there–Look at me! Look at me–you're out!
- Holli: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Where's the chicken?!
- Fran: [walking to the pass] Right here, chef.
- Gordon: [swats Fran away] Get out my way! Where's the chicken gone? Fran, where's the rest of it?
- Fran: I think it was a small chicken.
- Gordon: [puts chicken on tray] There you go. Does that—WHERE'S MY FUCKING CHICKEN?! Where have the other pieces gone?!
- Fran: I'll get them.
- Gordon: [sees a poorly cooked chicken breast on Fran's station] There you go!
- Fran: What am I doing to them?
- Gordon: [tries to cut into the meat] You're leaving half the fucking chick... [holds up the breast] Look at all of this.
- Benjamin: (interview) The chickens were horrible. Fran doesn't know how to slice it, she doesn't know how to dice it, she's doesn't even know how to cook it.
- Gordon: Look at the chicken that's been left on there. Look, there's the breast there. Look. Look at this.
- Fran: (interview) I've never taken a cooked breast off of a chicken before. [to Gordon] It's my fault, chef, and I'm sorry.
- Gordon: You're the robbing the customers of their PORTIONS!!
- Fran: (interview) I made a mistake and I did screw up the chicken.
- [Gordon throws the chicken across the kitchen and into the sink]
- [Autumn has just brought pork to the pass]
- Gordon: The pork's raw. [to Autumn] The fucking pork is raw! I'm not serving a fucking pork that's raw! Slightly pink, fine! But fucking bright pink, NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!
- Jason: Let's go, Autumn! Let's go! (interview) I ain't trying to say that I'm Jay-Z in the kitchen, nothing like that. But Autumn, you ain't shit. I can cook better than you.
- Gordon: COME ON, AUTUMN!
- Autumn: [looks around for a pan] I need my pork to cook fast.
- Gordon: Where's the pork? [to Autumn] MADAM!
- Autumn: [to Ed] Is this too rare still? Too rare?
- Ed: Yes, it is.
- Gordon: CLOSE YOUR OVEN DOOR!!
- Autumn: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: WHERE'S THE PORK?!
- Autumn: I need another minute.
- Gordon: Come here, you! Fuck off in the dining room, and you explain to the fucking customer why you're so shit! Fuck off, will you, yeah?! GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!
- [As Autumn leaves the blue kitchen, Jean-Philippe leads her to the table waiting for her pork]
- Jean-Philippe: Here we are.
- Autumn: [to diners] Hello, I know that everyone's already eating and it's my fault that your pork is not ready. I'm very, very sorry, and I'm working my best to get it to you, okay?
- Male Diner: Thank you.
- Autumn: Alright. You're welcome. [walks back into the kitchen]
- Gordon: Fran wanted her team to communicate, but it seems the only thing her team agreed on was wanting her gone.
Episode Ten [7.10]
- [Gordon checks the lobster brought up by Nilka]
- Gordon: [to Sous-chef Andi] Look at this, Look. It's raw. Nilka?

- Gordon: MADAM!
- Nilka: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: TAKE YOUR JACKET OFF AND FUCK OFF!!!
- Nilka: NO, CHEF! DON'T SAY THAT, PLEASE!
- Jason: (interview) Nilka just kept getting hit like a ship by torpedo after torpedo after torpedo, and then finally just - she just sunk to the bottom of the ocean. And Chef said just - she needed to go.
- Nilka: CHEF! PLEASE! Chef, please don't say that! [picks up a "wet floor" sign and throws it across the corridor] Oh my fucking God!

- [Nilka walks back into the kitchen]
- Gordon: Let's go, Scott please?... [sees Nilka] Nilka!
- Nilka: Chef...
- Gordon: No, no, no. I'm in the middle of service. Take your jacket off and get out of Hell's Kitchen. I've had enough. I-I can't do it, okay?
- Nilka: Please!
- Gordon: Nilka, don't do this to me. They're under pressure, we're under pressure. Take your jacket off and get out!
- Nilka: I want to still cook and prove myself, chef. (interview) Am I gonna stop? No! 'Cause this is my dream, this is my fucking destiny, and this is what I want!
- Gordon: [reading off a ticket] Lobster, turbot, wellington...
- Nilka: I want to cook!
- Gordon: Lobster, turbot, wellington, beef. Let's go.
- Nilka: I don't want to leave like this, chef.
- Gordon: Oh, fuck me. Fucking hell.
- Nilka: Let me go to my station.
- Ed: (interview) Nilka wouldn't leave. She was asked to leave one time, then leave. Get the hell out of here.
- [Nilka tries to push Benjamin off the fish station and get back on it herself]
- Nilka: Please? I can do this shit!
- Gordon: Turbot, lobster, wellington, beef.
- Benjamin: Oui chef.
- Gordon: Nilka!
- Nilka: I want to cook!
- Gordon: GET OUT!
- Nilka: I want to cook! I can do this! Please!
- Gordon: Hey, guys, I'm telling you now, do something for me: GET HER OUT OF HERE!
- Benjamin: Nilka, you got to go.
- Gordon: Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Oui, chef.
- Gordon: GET HER OUT!
- [Benjamin starts to usher Nilka out of the kitchen]
- Benjamin: Nilka, you got to go.
- Nilka: I can do this!
- Benjamin: You have to go! When chef tells you to go, you got to go.
- Jay: Go, go, go! (interview) Hurricane Nilka just had an absolute category five meltdown.
- Nilka: Oh my fucking God, I don't want to leave.
- Benjamin: Nilka, get out!
- Gordon: GET YOUR JACKET OFF AND GET OUT!!!
- Nilka: This is so fucked up. I gave my whole life for this shit. (interview) It hurts to get kicked out of here like this, it really really does. Like, I don't want to take my jacket off. [walking out] Fucking bullshit. (interview) It, it—Oh, it's just... it pisses me off that it went down like this. It really, really did. [wipes off tears] It really, really did.
- Narrator: Dinner service has been completed with time to spare and the diners are off to the theater. [cuts to Nilka packing her bags] But they aren't the only ones exiting Hell's Kitchen in a hurry.
- Nilka: (interview) You know it hurts to get kicked out of here like this. It really, really does! I don't want to go home. I don't want to go home! I don't... I came here for a reason. [sheds a tear]
- [Nilka walks out the back exit and sees Gordon standing alongside a waiting taxicab]
- Nilka: I was hoping I'd get to see you again.
- Gordon: Listen, I just want to say that you walk out of here with your head up high. Sadly, you're not ready to take that head chef's job. But what you are ready to continue doing is following your dream. Don't stop that.
- Nilka: I'm not, I'm just so mad at myself because I think I was ready. But tonight proved otherwise.
- Gordon: Listen, you have done phenomenally well. I've never come out here to say goodbye, but I wanted to make the effort to say goodbye and to say thank you.
- Nilka: [tearfully] Thank you.
- Gordon: Come here. [they both hug each other] Thank you. Yes. [opens the passenger side door of the taxi] Now, one more thing.
- Nilka: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Your jacket.
- Nilka: No, you don't have to.
- Gordon: [laughing] Your jacket.
- Nilka: [laughing] I don't want to. [hands over her chef's jacket] Thank you, chef.
- Gordon: Good night, darling.
- Nilka: Good night.
- Gordon: Well done. [as the taxi starts up] Head up high.
- Nilka: I will. Always.
- [The final six after receiving black jackets and Chef Ramsay speaks on Nilka's elimination]
- Gordon: Tonight was the best service we've had in Hell's Kitchen, and that's why I rewarded the final six. Now, only the best chefs remain. Nilka was clearly out of her depth.
Episode Eleven [7.11]
- Jean-Philippe: (Table) 42, the lady's pregnant. The gents are nearly finished eating.
- Gordon: Ed! The two halibut we're dragging, the lady's pregnant on the table, and the two gentlemen have now finished their duck!
- Ed: Sorry, chef, coming right up!
- Gordon: She's about to give birth!!
- Benjamin: [to Ed] Go. Throw it up on the window with the halibut.
- [After Ed brings halibut to the pass, Gordon tears a piece in the center and sees that it's cold and raw in the middle]
- Scott Leibfried: Oh, Jesus.
- Gordon: [returns to workstation with halibut tray] All of you! ALL of you!
- Holli & Ed: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: STOP! Come here! Fifth time. [to Jay] Just take it, hold it, and pass it along! Pass it along to them! [throw spoon across workstation] Fuck off! Benjamin, Jay, any answers?!
- Jay: I don't know, chef. (interview) I can understand a couple mistakes, but that many mistakes, clearly you're having an issue. You only need to cook it at 120. You're not curing cancer.
- Benjamin: [to Ed] You gotta sear them harder, dude.
- Ed: I need five halibut. Where are they at?
- Holli: Coming with some halibut. I'm gonna sear them and just get them ready to go over here. (interview) Ed was just scrambled. If we can't get those entrées out, pretty soon Chef's gonna kick us all out of the kitchen. We're the final six, we gotta get it out.
- Gordon: Now we're cooking halibut on the fucking appetizer section.
- Autumn: I was just staying out of their way. I'm making space.
- Benjamin: [walks to pass] Two halibut, two beef.
- Gordon: [examines and touches steaks] Unbelievable. It's like Day One all over again. [returns to workstation] The beef's not even hot. [to Benjamin] Just touch the side of the beef. Get it in the oven for me, yeah?
- Benjamin: Yes, chef. (interview) My two steaks came back because they were fucking sitting there waiting for Ed's fish.
- Gordon: BENJAMIN! Open up and bring your team with you! I've given you the fucking lead, I can't keep on telling you! Pick it UP!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef! (interview) I understand that he wants me to start talking and counting down, but it is difficult to talk while you're trying to concentrate on your food. It's like talking while you're trying to paint or something like that.
- Gordon: I'll tell you something here and now. You can cook, but you can't lead!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: Well, why is no one picking this up?! He's (Jay) gone silent, I'm never gonna talk to him ever again! He's (Ed) in the fucking shit, and you—You've got your fucking head up your arse!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef. (interview) I was a mess up there. I thought I was gonna start crying. We were totally fucked.
- Gordon: Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Oui, chef!
- Gordon: NO ONE'S LEADING!!
- Benjamin: Jay, up to the window right now! Halibut, duck, wellington, beef!
- Ed: Yes!
- Benjamin: Jay, you have that stuff?
- Jay: Yes.
- Gordon: Christ!
- Narrator: It's over two hours into dinner service, and with diners still waiting to receive entrées and the V.I.P. guest arriving at any moment, Ben finally has entrées ready for Chef Ramsay.
- Gordon: Three halibut, one wellington. [finds that the brought up entrées are for the other table] One tagliatelle, one chicken. It's the next table.
- Narrator: Unfortunately, they're not the entrées he's looking for.
- Gordon: I've really fucking had enough, Benjamin. Because no one's fucking concentrating. So easy for you to ruin things! Well, let me tell you something, you fucking ruined my night!
- Autumn: (interview) It was crazy over there, I think he was just off. And people need to, like, take a step back from everything that's going on and just cook.
- Gordon: You all done it before and you can do ten times better, BUT NO ONE GIVES A FUCK!! [kicks the bins] THAT'S WHAT FUCKS ME OFF! WHAT ARE WE DOING JAY, ED AND BENJAMIN?!!
- [Gordon checks on scallops brought up by Ed; they're badly overcooked]
- Gordon: Oh, fucking hell.
- Jason: [brings his appetizers to the pass] Oh, fuck!
- Gordon: [returns to the workstation] Benjamin!
- Benjamin: Oui, chef!
- Gordon: Come here. Ed!
- Ed: Yes, chef?
- Gordon: Come here, Ed! So he [points to Benjamin] brings the next table to me, He's (Jay) fucking say nothing and then that comes up to me! Do me a favour. [to Ed and Benjamin] You and you GET OUT!! ENOUGH!!
- Man: [overhears Gordon] Don't think I'm going to get my lamb.
- Gordon: Fuck off up to the dorm! Get out! Get out, Benjamin! Get out! [to Jason] Jason, on the fish.
- Jason: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [to Autumn] Autumn, on the meat.
- Autumn: Yes, chef.
- Gordon: [to Holli] Holli, on the appetisers.
- Holli: Yes, chef!
- Gordon: Fucking unbelievable.
- Gordon: Ed was one of the favourites because of his strong start. Unfortunately in cooking it's not how you start, it's how you finish.
Episode Twelve [7.12]
- [Holli and Jay return from their shopping spree reward, while Autumn, Benjamin and Jason clean the dining room]
- Jay: We're gonna be in the patio smoking cigarettes and drinking if you need us. [Holli and Autumn laugh]
- Jason: (interview) Holli and Jay, I think there's some chemistry between them. I just think something's there between them.
- [Outside the dorms, Holli and Jay change into their bathing suits and get in the hot tub]
- Benjamin: [in the dining room] An eleven hour day. (interview) Holli and Jay, I mean, I think there's a little energy there. A little something going on, a little something something. They're both single.
- [Cut back to the hot tub]
- Holli: [to Jay] You want another one (beer)?
- Jay: [lightly touches Holli's butt] I'm okay for the next seven seconds.
- Autumn: (interview) I honestly don't think there's anything serious going on between Holli and Jay. I think that they had a good time and they had a few drinks.
- Jay: [continues flirting with Holli] Assume the position.
- Holli: This is one of my favorites.
- Autumn: [walks outside] I brought you guys towels.
- Jay: [straddles Holli on his lap] Hurry up.
- [Holli sees Autumn looking at her and Jay together and laughs]
- Autumn: (interview) Holy crap. This is going down.
- Holli: (interview) Thanks, Autumn. Good job.
- Jay: (interview) Oh my God, what a mess! [as Autumn gets in the hot tub] Autumn, Autumn, Autumn.
- Autumn: This is gonna be awesome. Funny.
- Narrator: As Chef Ramsay leaves the kitchen for a quick moment...
- Scott Leibfried: Tuna!
- Jason: Yes, chef.
- Narrator: Sous Chef Scott steps in to keep the momentum going.
- Jason: Hot sizzle platter, chef. Tuna
- Scott Leibfried: Who's got the garnish for the tuna?
- Benjamin: Garnish for the tuna, chef.
- Narrator: And Benjamin unwisely decides this would be a good time to become a leader.
- Benjamin: [reading off the next ticket] Next pick-up, two chicken, one–
- Scott Leibfried: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Narrator: Unfortunately for him, Chef Scott is not impressed.
- Scott Leibfried: You think for one minute you're going to start fucking running this pass? You may be a fucking good cook, but you suck as a leader.
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: If you think you're going to do my fucking job, I'll leave right now. You think you can do it?!
- Benjamin: No, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: [turning red] You think you can put up with all this BULLSHIT?
- Benjamin: No, chef.
- Scott Leibfried: I know you can't! NOW GET THE FUCK OVER THERE, AND DON'T EVER COME UP TO MY PASS AGAIN AND TRY TO TAKE MY FUCKING PLACE!!!!!
- Autumn: (interview) Holy crap! I don't think Ben had a good night.
- Scott Leibfried: YOU GOT IT?!!
- Benjamin: Yes, chef!
- Scott Leibfried: GET OVER THERE!
- Benjamin: (interview) Chef Scott ripped my fucking asshole. You know, ripped my asshole this big. That totally sucked.
- Gordon: Jason was good enough to make it to the final five, but he just didn't instill the confidence I needed to see to be my head chef.
Episode Fourteen [7.14]
- [Benjamin has decided to quit the competition after not participating in prep due to back and shoulder pains]
- Gordon: [hears Benjamin knocking on his office door] Come in. [shakes Benjamin's hand] Alright, sit down.
- Benjamin: I pulled my back out, chef. It's progressively gotten worse, and it's just taken so much out. I'm feeling pretty beat up, chef.
- Gordon: Here's the thing. We're at the final hurdle now, so if I didn't think you were capable of doing this, you would've left ages ago. But deep down inside, I know how good you are. You're throwing away something that you may regret. Just think carefully. The ball's in your court.
- Benjamin: Yes, chef.
- [Back in the kitchen, Holli, Jay and Autumn wait for Benjamin to come out of Gordon's office]
- Holli: If he (Benjamin) comes in here after not doing fucking anything all day, I'm gonna be freakin' mad.
- Jay: I'm starting to get mad now.
- Holli: I don't even wanna look at it.
- Jay: [sees Benjamin walk downstairs] Here he comes.
- [Holli shakes her head as Benjamin walks into the kitchen]
- Benjamin: What's up?
- Jay: What's up.
- Autumn: What's going on?
- Benjamin: So, I'm going to cook tonight.
- Jay: Yeah?
- Holli: (interview) When Ben walked in, the first thing I really wanted to do was throw a pan at him. [to Benjamin] So you're not in that much pain right now, Ben?
- Benjamin: I'm still in pain.
- Holli: You still are?
- Benjamin: Yeah, I'm still in pain.
- Holli: (interview) You quit. You gave up. You didn't fucking help with prep, you have no business being back in the kitchen at all. [whispering to Jay] Make him go tonight.
- Jay: Oh, I feel the same way.
- Andi: [to Benjamin] You okay to work?
- Benjamin: Yeah, I'll work. I'll–I'll get it done.
- Autumn: (interview) I'm actually really happy that Ben's here because I honestly want to just beat him outright.
Episode Fifteen [7.15]
- Jay: (interview) I'm not psyched about losing but it was very close and Holli did a great job and deserved to win. Hopefully, I can take her pants off tonight.
- Gordon: Holli won because she has grown as a chef more than any other chef in Hell's Kitchen. At the start, she was barely noticeable. But then, she got her confidence. She emerged and there was no holding her back. I'm absolutely thrilled she'll be working with me at the Savoy Grill in London.
