Patti:
No es saludable. It is not healthy.

It is not healthy.

Thank you. What is going on in here? A hungry cat would walk away from that.

I am, chef.

The fridge is full of (bleep)! It's, it's DISGUSTING! I wasn't here on Saturday, but what were they expecting? (Bleep) ten thousand customers for lunch? Patti, I'm (bleep) disgusted. Yolanda, that's a joke.

Yolanda:
I understand. (interview) I don't want people to get sick and I don't want them to spread the word that the food is bad here.

Gordon:
(to Vic) You're overstaffed. Under-worked. (bleep) food! I wouldn't trust you running a bath, let alone a (bleep) restaurant! You must be out of your tiny mind!

Vic:
I care for the restaurant.

[Gordon grabs the bucket and shoves it toward Vic]

Gordon:
I wanna take that out there. I dare you, take it out there. Go on, give it to them! Yeah, there you go.

Vic:
Excuse me?

Gordon:
Look at me! Why won't you take it out there?

Vic:
That's embarrassing.

Gordon:
Yeah, it is embarrassing. WHY ARE YOU SERVING IT?! YOU DON'T (bleep) CARE!

Vic:
Why?

Gordon:
Why?! Because you're serving that and trying to charge people money for that. That's why you don't care.

Vic:
I care for-

Gordon:
YOU DON'T CARE (bleep)! No (bleep) way!

[Gordon picks up the bucket of beans, carries it through to the dining room, and places it on a table in front of the shocked diners]

Gordon:
(Bleep)! Ladies and gentlemen! I'm so sorry but we're stopping service. Everything you've had to drink, eat so far is all on the house. Sir, that thing you have in your hand, put it down! Because if you just seen where it came from like I have, you wouldn't be eating it. Very sorry. Close up. (to Vic) No bill anywhere!

Vic:
(interview) I was like "What the hell are you doing?" You can't do that to my customers.

Gordon:
By the way, there's your re-fried beans on the way out. Have a look at them.
