Hell's Kitchen, Season 4

Hell's Kitchen (2005–present), created by Gordon Ramsay, is an American cooking reality show based on the British program of the same title, where Chef Ramsay puts aspiring chefs through different challenges and dinner services to decide who is the best. It broadcasted on FOX in the USA and ITV2 in the UK. The narrator of the show is Jason Thompson.

Narrator:
With Rosann's dish receiving a good review from Chef Ramsay, things might be looking up.

Gordon:
[reveals Petrozza's dish, which is a whole pumpkin] Oh, fuck me...

Narrator:
...Or are they?

Gordon:
What in the fuck? Happy Halloween?

Petrozza:
(interview) People ask me what my speciality is. But, I don't have a speciality; I can cook anything.

Gordon:
What is that?

Petrozza:
There's a Cornish hen inside, Chef.

Gordon:
A Cornish hen? What'd you do to it to get it in there?

Petrozza:
It got in there-- I got it in-- I got it in there.

Gordon:
Holy shit. [removes the pumpkin] These are potatoes?

Petrozza:
Yes, sir.

Gordon:
In how much grease and fat and oil did you fry them?

Petrozza:
There's some butter in there.

Gordon:
[holding up a dripping pile of potatoes] Some butter in that?

Petrozza:
That's a lot of butter.

Gordon:
Well, just stop there. That goes in there. [scrapes the potatoes into the bin] And let's see what we got for trick-or-treat, shall we?

Petrozza:
Okay.

Gordon:
[removes the top of the pumpkin] Oh, my God... How do you get in there and eat it? I mean, am I missing a trick?

Petrozza:
It's plated tableside.

Gordon:
Oh.

Petrozza:
It's- it's presented like that.

Gordon:
Alright, off you go. Take your time. [Petrozza splits the pumpkin open, revealing a greasy blob of meat] Oh, my God. Okay, stop right there. I don't think I'll get through that, do you?

Petrozza:
Okay, no.

Gordon:
So, what's the, uh... dish called?

Petrozza:
Hen in a pumpkin.

Gordon:
Right now, looking at that mess, I'd like to stick your fucking head in there, you know that? [tastes the dish] It's dry.

Petrozza:
Yeah, well...

Gordon:
And the pumpkin's not even seasoned inside, it's just bland! You'd have more of a chance sticking a candle in there for Halloween to make me happy than you would sticking a hen in there. Fuck off.

Petrozza:
(interview) Chef Ramsay said he was looking for something memorable. And I believe my dish was memorable.

Narrator:
As the Red team, once again, starts over on their entrées, Jason starts preparing his first desserts.

Jason:
Is this the right way to do it? I hope it is. (interview) I don't have a clue on this earth what I'm doing. I hate desserts! They're tedious! Women can make desserts, you know? It ain't my thing. (to Louross) ...5 minutes for the crème brûlée, so I have two of those in.

Louross:
Your crème brûlée's done already!

Jason:
No, it's not. That's not cooked.

Louross:
That's cooked!

Jason:
Oh, Jesus Christ. (interview) The soufflés looked like muffins in a cup! I don't know what was wrong, because I don't know desserts, but I know they would not come up for nothing!

Gordon:
Jason!

Jason:
Yes?

Gordon:
What's happening with the desserts?

Jason:
The soufflés are not coming out at all; they're sticking!

Gordon:
Come here a minute.

Jason:
Okay. [goes over to Gordon] I cannot get them to come up, they're sticking really bad, they look like shit, they look like muffins.

Gordon:
(in a fast tone) So, are we going to take it off the menu, are we going to do something constructive, are we going to do anything about it...

Jason:
I'm, I'm trying something new. I'm going to take some sugar and rub it around the rim, and try to get that... and... that's what I'm trying to do right now.

Gordon:
You're going to get some sugar and rub it around the rim?

Jason:
Sugar-- no, no-- sugar, butter, and the cocoa powder, and see if that keeps them from sticking. :[Gordon goes over to the hotplate and repeatedly bangs his head on the counter]

Scott:
Salmon, chef.

Gordon:
I've got a fucking headache. [checks the salmon, which is under-cooked] Ben! [pounds the counter] Salmon's raw in the middle!

Ben:
Oh, maybe a little under.

Gordon:
It's pink! Come here you, hey, stop! [calls the blue team) Come here! [starts distributing pieces of salmon to the members] That's what brought to me, taste. Taste, yeah, yeah? [pounds the workstation and kicks the bin] FUCK! SHIT!! What in the fuck is GOING ON? [kicks the bins] All of you come here! Get in there! [The Blue Team enter the Red Kitchen] Let's put one shit mess with another shit mess! Get in there! There you go, join forces. We've gone backwards! And you're (Vanessa) just all over the place! And you're (Jason) just hopeless! And you (Ben) don't care! Pathetic! And then you look at me, gormless like, the salmon's raw when it was requested medium. And what do you say?

Ben:
Different techniques.

Gordon:
[throws the ticket at Ben] Fuck off! Not good enough! I'm not going to continue this any longer. Winning team? Forget it! What's so FUCKING COMPLICATED?! Christina, you made an effort to get all the appetizers out. Thank god! Unfortunately, we got screwed when it came to the first entrée. You've got to go upstairs and nominate one individual that's leaving here.

Christina:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
Petrozza, you stayed with it. Your mind was clear. The attitude was strong. Get upstairs and think about who you are going to nominate. One from the blue, one from the red. NOW GET OUT!

Red and Blue team:
Yes, chef.

[Bobby waves to some ladies that he served tableside]

Gordon:
[calls out Bobby] Bob! Bob, come here. Yeah, I wouldn't go around looking for applauders right now. Right now is the wrong FUCKING TIME! GET OUT!!!

Bobby:
Yes.

Gordon:
Jackass waving at them! What do we have to wave about?! I DON'T CARE! GET OUT!!!

Gordon:
How long for those two wellingtons?

Ben:
I have that wellington, chef.

Gordon:
Come here, you. What is going on? You've got one. Which one have you got?

Ben:
I've got both of the wellingtons.

Gordon:
Listen to me. Which one is ready?

[long pause]

Ben:
There is nothing ready on that ticket yet.

Gordon:
I'm aware you've GOT them! I need to tell the customers how fucking long.

Ben:
Give me six minutes, please, chef.

Gordon:
For a well-done wellington?

Ben:
Yes, chef. (interview) Back at home, I ran kitchens for years and, you know, no problem. It's just that he comes over there and gets so fucking riled up, and then he gets you all fluster-fucked, and you don't know what you're doing! (to Petrozza) Petrozza, where's the mise-en-place for the lamb? Because I'm going to be three short.

Gordon:
What?!

Petrozza:
I'll wrap you some lamb, just as soon as I-

Gordon:
(to Ben) Hey, come here you! SAY THAT AGAIN?! What time did that ticket come on?

Ben:
6:30.

Gordon:
And what time is it now?

Ben:
[looks at the wall clock] 8 o'clock.

Gordon:
You're joking are you? We ran out of lamb? They've fired the fucking entrées, and you're telling me now?

Ben:
I got it, chef. I'll take care of it.

Gordon:
Ohhh, fucking hell...

Matt:
Damn, Jen. And I was the problem over there? (interview) Ben wanted to use me as a scapegoat and put me out there. Said that I'm the weakest, and I hide behind everyone. The scapegoat's there, and you got no-one to blame. You can't cook, buddy!

Gordon:
(to Ben) Can you fucking wake up? I'm coming to the end of it, now!

Gordon:
[to Rosann] How long for that salmon?

Rosann:
I need five minutes, Chef.

Gordon:
[to Jen] Have you got the garnish for the salmon?

Jen:
[with her back turned to Gordon] No, I didn't hear that either.

Gordon:
Hey, you! Don't look at me when you talk to me!

Jen:
I just said, "No!" I was putting my food in here, Chef.

Gordon:
Hey, Jen, look at me. You're one fucking cocky lady, for someone who knows jack-shit, you know that?

Jen:
Yes, Chef.

Gordon:
You're so far up your own arse you don't know how fucking cocky you are.

Jen:
(interview) He said I was cocky, but it's like, "What the fuck?" I-I combo every time I see him so how the fuck am I cocky?

Gordon:
(to Jen and Rosann) That's there beef sliced, sourced, ready garnish there, salmon not ready. It's the story all the night you can't even get two fucking dishes together. That's how shit you've (Rosann and Jen) been. Yeah fuck, fuck off! Start the whole- (slams all the table's entrées onto Jen's station) FUCKING TABLE AGAIN!!! I've had enough. Okay? Not good enough for me. I've had ENOUGH! ENOUGH!

Jen:
(interview) I-I can't please that man and for him to turn and throw a fucking full ass tray of food on my station like I'm some kind of dog. Don't nobody disrespect me like that! I'm getting tired of this shit right know, I really am!

Gordon:
[to Jen] I've had enough. I can't tell you anything anymore, I can't even give you any directions, do you know why? You're undirectable, because it's like [mocks Jen] muh. Oh, really? [to Rosann] And you!

Rosann:
Yes, Chef?

Gordon:
Yeah?

Rosann:
(interview) I don't know if I even deserve to stay because after tonight's performance, I know I let the chef down and I let myself down and I let my daughter down and that's what's hurting me the most right know. [tries to hold back tears and puts her hand over her face]

Gordon:
[throws his pencil across the Red kitchen] Fuck it... pathetic bunch of fucking women... [leaves the Red kitchen]

Narrator:
With food finally leaving the kitchen, all Chef Ramsay wants...

Gordon:
Why are we going with this table?

Matt:
I'm coming up with it, chef! (brings his meat to the pass)

Narrator:
...is to keep it going.

[Gordon returns to the workstation with meat brought up by Matt]

Gordon:
All of you, just fucking come here! You (Corey) as well with your burn! This is why I'm pissed off! Touch that. That's (wellington) fucking raw, and that's (beef) fucking what? Look at the colour of it. [Matt tries to retrieve the meat; Gordon knocks his hand away, gets a filet and wellington and angrily throws them in the bin] I'M ASKING YOU A QUESTION! SHIT!! I'm asking you the question, what is it?! It's overcooked!!

Corey:
(interview) Matt seems to be like a 5-year old trapped in a 35-year old body. He doesn't know when to stop.

Matt:
(gets a ticket at the pass) Sorry, chef.

Gordon:
Oh, please. Don't touch me.

Matt:
I have a migraine.

Gordon:
Oh, can you fuck... I need the ticket here! (Matt leaves the pass, Gordon asks him) What's going next?

Matt:
I'm busy getting yelled at.

Gordon:
Fucking idiot, come here! What did you say then? You're busy getting what?

Matt:
No, chef.

Gordon:
You just gave me overcooked meat, overcooked fucking filet, overcooked. Now you're saying "I'm getting yelled at!"

Matt:
(interview) It wasn't my fault when everyone else fell behind. I'm the big team player, I just don't team players around me.

Gordon:
So don't start acting fucking smarmy with me while we're standing here in the shit, whereas you put me in the shit!

Matt:
I can't fucking concentrate anymore.

Gordon:
Salmon, John Dory, chicken, wellington, fillet mignon, rib eye!

Christina:
Guys, how long now?

Matt:
I don't know, I'm trying to work on my migraine.

Corey:
(interview) Matt is someone who is excuses for himself. Absolute fucked in a headache you know, come on pull through it. He's a crybaby and he is definitely getting more insane by in a minute. (to Matt) Matt, how long on the fillet?

Matt:
(to Corey) I'll tell you in a second. (holds a well cooked fillet mignon) three minutes.

Gordon:
You guys are a fucking bunch of losers. (to Matt) What's going, Matt? What's going?

Matt:
Two risottos, one fillet, one lamb and fish (salmon).

Christina:
No!

Gordon:
No, that's right. No. He's got migraine. Look! Hey, look at there, Scott!

Bobby:
(laughs) Oh, fuck!

Matt:
Not funny. I got a medical pills and I work through it.

Gordon:
He's got a migraine. Come here in a minute and let me just tell you something, you have a migraine? (quietly, to Matt) I've had one ever since you walked in here. Why have you just forty-two minutes ago to completely forgot and give you a favour?

Matt:
I have no feeling in my hands--

Gordon:
No feeling in your hands? Yeah, come here. [takes hold of Matt's hand and walks him out of the kitchen, as if though Matt just peed his pants] Go upstairs the dorm and lie down, yes? Lie down.

Matt:
But I want to work through it.

Gordon:
[turns around] GET OUT!!! FUCKING GET OUT!!! (rekindles Matt) "I got a migraine?" Fuck off... fucking useless pieceashit...

Jen:
(interview) Matt doesn't take any responsibility for his actions, everybody in this place here has a migraine right now my brain feels like it's about to explode but I don't give up in that kitchen

Gordon:
FOUR MINUTES TO THE WINDOW TWO WELLINGTON, ONE FUCKING RIBEYE!! HURRY UP CHRISTINA!

Christina:
Yes, chef. [Sees a pan of rice] Oh, shit! [holds the rice and burns her hand] Who the fuck left this rice on here, guys?

Gordon:
What is that?

Christina:
It's burnt rice, chef.

Gordon:
Who put that on there?

Christina:
I don't know, chef.

Jen:
Sorry. chef. I forgot about it.

Gordon:
Fucking useless. [scrapes the burnt rice and throws it on a chopping board]

Christina:
(interview) Jen burnt the rice. It was sitting on my station, all she has to do and say, "Hey, I'm putting this rice here."

Gordon:
(quietly to Jen) Get out. Get out and get to the dorm. GET OUT! I'm not fucking around now. Get out!

Jen:
(interview) I completely forgot that I put the rice on. I feel bad for that and that was my honest mistake.

Gordon:
(to Christina) Hey, she put it on, you've been standing next to it for an hour, you take off your apron and fuck off as well!

Christina:
Yes, chef.

Petrozza:
(interview) Oh, my God has this been a crazy night!

Gordon:
Hey, all of you: Fuck yourselves. Get out! GET OUT!! [The remaining chefs leave the kitchen] Fuck off will you, yeah?! [rubbing his face] Oh... Shit!

[Christina brings carrot purée to the pass]

Gordon:
Yeah, anything piping hot-- [grabs the handle of the pan and burns his hand] Ah, shit! Fuck! Ah shit! Don't stop and look stupid like some thick cow!

Christina:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
Aw, fuck! Fuck's sake! [cools his hand with cold water] Christina, the handle was over the flame. The fucking handle's over the stove, at least say something to somebody.

Christina:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
Now, you're just acting like a fucking idiot. Yes?

Christina:
No, chef.

Jen:
(interview) Chef Ramsay was burning bad by Christina today. I know he was pissed!

Gordon:
SHIT!

Jen:
(interview) Ooh, Christina messing up over there for real.

Gordon:
Fuck me!

Corey:
Do not burn the chef!

Gordon:
Fuck! Look at me and I'm fucking serious now. If a handle is over the fucking flame, say something, will you please, yes?

Christina:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
One more time and you're fucking finished!

Christina:
(interview) I just burned Chef Ramsay. That's really not cool. My mistake. Not going to happen again, trust me.

Gordon:
Garnish, please!

Christina:
Coming right now, chef. Coming, chef.

Gordon:
[grabs the handle and burns his hand again] Aw, shit! Fucking hell! I'm getting fucked here again! Christina, I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!

Jen:
(interview) When Chef Ramsay burned himself twice, you can smell his skin all across the room burning. I'm like DAMN!!

Gordon:
[cools his hand again] SHIT! Hey look, come here you look. [pours cold water over the handle and steam comes off] You're not even fucking telling me.

Christina:
(interview) He poured water over the handle of the pot and it sizzled. It was really hot.

Gordon:
That's unbearable now.

Christina:
I was just like oh, shit!

Gordon:
Now I think you're doing it on purpose to fucking wire me up. Hey, you're doing it really well because I'm getting fucked off! If a pan handle is over the fucking flame, say something! Will you please, yes?

Christina:
Yes, chef!

Gordon:
Wake up!

Christina:
Yes, chef. (interview) (sighs)
