Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Series Two

[Gordon checks the potatoes, which head chef Philippe claims are roasted]

Gordon:
Listen, let me have a quick word with you. This man [Israel] is paying your salary. His business is about to close. Do you understand how critical the situation is?

Philippe:
I do.

Gordon:
So pay the man fucking respect, and tell the truth. You have deep-fried those potatoes.

Philippe:
These ones haven't been deep-fried.

Gordon:
They are wrinkled, dehydrated, and they have been in the deep-fat fryer.

Philippe:
That's not dehydrated, is it?

Gordon:
You're talking to a chef, and for as long as I got a hole in my butt, big boy, those fucking potatoes have been in the deep-fat fryer. Don't fucking lie.

Philippe:
I know what I did.

Gordon:
You know the oven's not hot enough to roast a potato! We can't even cook a fucking burger in there! They've been in the fryer. Tell the fucking truth!

Philippe:
It went in the oven.

Gordon:
Tell him the fucking truth... (voiceover) He's so adamant, I'm even starting to doubt my own judgement - until I tracked down Alsamh. (To sous-chef Alsamh) How many trays of potatoes did you fry this morning?

Alsamh:
I fried everything here.

Gordon:
You fried all four?

Alsamh:
Yes.

Gordon:
And who told you to fry them?

Alsamh:
My chef.

Gordon:
Your chef, yes. (to Philippe) Why did you deep-fry the potatoes?

Philippe:
You've said it earlier. The oven is nowhere near hot enough.

Gordon:
Right. Can we get back to basics now, and cut the fucking crap? (to Israel) Sorry. But I fucking hate liars.
