Gordon:
You amaze me.

David:
What?

Gordon:
Because all week long, face-to-face, you (bleep) pretend to care.

David:
Oh, (bleep), Gordon. Come on.

Gordon:
You don't give two (bleep) about this place.

David:
Really?

Gordon:
You're not passionate about running a restaurant.

David:
Really?

Gordon:
You're just abusing it and using it.

David:
How did I- what, what, what did I do?

Gordon:
I've never met an individual that's so full of (bleep) in all my life.

David:
How have I been lying to you, Gordy? How? Tell me.

Gordon:
Gordy?

David:
Yeah, how? You want to disrespect me, I can disrespect you too. But tell me how I'm lying to you.

Gordon:
I'm not disrespecting you, I'm telling you the truth.

David:
No, you're disrespecting me 'cause you don't know the truth.

Gordon:
You're just massaging your (bleep) ego.

David:
Gordon, bull (bleep).

Gordon:
What do you mean, bull (bleep)?

David:
Not true.

Gordon:
From the first minute you walked in this (bleep) door, standing there with your big long coat and your (bleep) sunglasses looking like a proud (bleep), that was it. First impressions. Then you start debating lobsters 'cause you think you're some smart-arse on the back of few (bleep) (bleep) dive books.

Gordon:
[flashback] Are you aware that the lobsters in your fridge are Canadian?

David:
[flashback] Homarus americanus. Same animal, right?

Gordon:
"Humanus americanus," my arse-us.

David:
Hmm.

Gordon:
With 21 restaurants under my belt, I work my (bleep) arse off.

David:
So what? So what?

Gordon:
And I never take anything for granted.

David:
[sarcastically] Fascinating, Gordon.

Gordon:
You treat the staff like (bleep). You amaze me.

David:
Never. Never do that.

Gordon:
Excuse me?

David:
Never.

David:
[flashback] Cat, it's policy here for you not to have a drink here after your shift, but you often do.

David:
Never.

Gordon:
You can't even be honest with yourself, let alone me. Mate, you've been exposed.

David:
Exposed?

Gordon:
You're a hypocrite.

David:
Is that right?

Gordon:
Absolutely. For you, it's about a (bleep) TV show. This man [points to Greg], it's about a restaurant. (Bleep) the TV, David. And I mean (bleep) it. This is real for me. And for you, it's an image.

David:
I disagree with you on almost everything you said.

Gordon:
You do?

David:
Yeah, I do.

Gordon:
Why do you disagree?

David:
Because you're wrong. The great Gordon Ramsay is wrong.

Gordon:
You're a sad (bleep).
