Ratatouille2007

[Gusteau abruptly appears in front of Remy in the kitchen, startling him]

Gusteau:
Remy! What are you waiting for?

Remy:
Is this going to become a regular thing with you?!

Gusteau:
You know how to fix it. This is your chance.

[Remy is making a soup. And Remy turn to see Linguini. Linguini gasps]

Skinner:
The soup! Where is the soup? Out of my way. Move it, garbage boy! [seeing a ladle in Linguini's hand] You are cooking?! How dare you cook in my kitchen?! Where do get the gall to attempt something so monumentally idiotic? I should have you drawn and quartered! I'll do it! I think the law is on my side! Larousse, draw and quarter this man! After you put him in the duck press to squeeze the fat out of his head!

[as he's shouting, Lalo ladles some soup into a tureen and brings it to the waiter]

Linguini:
Oh no no no, oh no, don't let them, don't eat...

Skinner:
What are you blathering about?!

Linguini:
...the soup!

Skinner:
[sees the soup going out runs to stop it] Soup? Stop that soup! Noooooooo!

[Skinner bursts into the dining room to the stares of the diners, retreats back into the kitchen and watches through the window as the waiter serves the soup]

Solene LeClaire:
[tasting the soup] Waiter!

Skinner:
[gasps] Linguini! You're fired! F-I-R-E-D! FIRED!

[Mustafa comes back from the dining room.]

Mustafa:
She wants to see the chef.

Skinner:
[scared] B-but he...

[Skinner nervously goes out into the dining room. Linguini tries to escape, but Horst just grabs his collar. Colette tastes the soup; Skinner re-enters]

Colette:
What did the customer say?

Mustafa:
It was not a customer. It was a critic!

Colette:
Ego?

Skinner:
Solene LeClaire.

Colette:
LeClaire. What did she say?

Mustafa:
She likes the soup.

[Hidden under a sieve, Remy is trying to sneak away; Gusteau motions to him.]

Gusteau:
Wait.

Remy:
What do you mean, wait? You're the reason I'm in this mess!

Gusteau:
Someone is talking about your soup.

[Skinner tastes the soup]

Skinner:
[growling] What are you playing at?

Linguini:
[uncertain] I, um, uh... am I still fired?

Colette:
You can't fire him.

Skinner:
What?

Colette:
LeClaire likes it, yeah? She made a point of telling you so. if she write a review to that effect and find out you fired the cook responsible?

Skinner:
He's a garbage boy.

Colette:
Who made something she liked! How can we claim to represent the name of Gusteau if we don't uphold his most cherished belief?

Skinner:
And what belief is that, Mademoiselle Tatou?

Colette:
Anyone can cook.

[Skinner looks around at the other cooks, who are smiling with approval]

Skinner:
Perhaps I have been a bit harsh on our new garbage boy. He has taken a bold risk, and we should reward that, as Chef Gusteau would have. If he wishes to swim in dangerous waters, who are we to deny him?

[Gusteau clears his throat]

Remy:
Hmm.

Gusteau:
You were escaping?

Remy:
Oh, yeah.

Skinner:
Since you have expressed such an interest in his cooking career, you shall be responsible for it. Anyone else? Hmm... [Pauses] Then back to work! [to Linguini, in a low, menacing voice] You are either very lucky or very unlucky. You will make the soup again, and this time I'll be paying attention. Very close attention. They think you might be a cook. But you know what I think, Linguini? I think you're a sneaky, overreaching little... [gasps, sees Remy escaping] RAAAT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

[Skinner grabs a stick and hits Remy]

Horst:
Get the rat!

Skinner:
Linguini! Get something to trap it!

Horst:
It's getting away! Get it, get it, get it!

Linguini:
[has trapped Remy in a jar] What should I do now?

Skinner:
Kill it!

Linguini:
Now?

Skinner:
No, not in the kitchen! Are you mad? Do you know what happens when people find out we have a rat in our kitchen? They'll close us down! Our reputation is hanging by a thread as it is. Take it away from here. Far away. Kill it. Dispose of it. Go!
