[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!
