[During prep for relaunch night]

Jorge:
Okay, so you do the frying station.

Matt:
I will not cook a chicken wing.

Jorge:
What's that?

Matt:
I do not feel comfortable frying a chicken wing unless she wants to put on a pair of orange shorts and serve it.

Jorge:
They're here to train us. Are you going to turn around and give them a hard time? Check yourself before you check them out, okay? Not gonna happen again. (interview) He has this huge ego about frying chicken. It's really irrelevant. He's here to do what I tell him to do, not what he wants to do.

[Jorge and Richard bring Matt outside to talk with Gordon]

Gordon:
What's going on?

Matt:
You put a bunch of (bleep) chicken wings on the menu and somebody ought to (bleep) put on some orange shorts out there and serve it.

Gordon:
Okay, so how about a little bit of respect and showing these two guys?

Matt:
Well how about (bleep) respect a fine dining restaurant and not (bleep) put chicken wings on the menu?

Gordon:
A fine dining restaurant?

Jorge:
Are you (bleep) listening to us?

Gordon:
Who the (bleep) do you think you are?

Matt:
Who do you think I am? A guy who knows when a menu sucks!

Gordon:
How dare you get jumped up and tell the owners that the menu's (bleep) because you think you know better? Well, why aren't you doing better? Why haven't you got a restaurant? How about having the intelligence to calm down and to start again?

Jorge:
Is that possible? Yes or no?

Matt:
It's possible.

Richard:
Will you do it? Yes or no?

Matt:
Yes.

Richard:
Thank you.
