Hell's Kitchen, Season 7

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.

Gordon:
Okay, so there are few out there who are executive chefs, right? [Jay and Siobhan raises their hands] Okay, good. There was one I seem to remember, you (points to Tana) with the glasses.

Tana:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
What do you do for a living?

Tana:
I'm a mom, but I'm a cookbook author.

Gordon:
Never worked in a restaurant?

Tana:
No, chef.

Gordon:
Okay, let's start from the bottom. Bring your dish.

Fran:
(whispering) Oh, geez.

Gordon:
Apart from looking like a baby vomit, what is that?

Tana:
It's a veal scallopini.

Gordon:
(tastes the dish) Oh, God. (to the lady) Listen to me. That dish... was delicious.

Tana:
(smiles) Thank you, chef.

Gordon:
I mean, I'm shocked. It may looked slightly dull and boring, a little bit like you. But well done! (the chefs laugh) Don't look so nervous.

Tana:
You're scary.

Gordon:
I'll give you a hug, yeah? Right. Relax, relax, relax.

Maria:
(interview) That is not his side. He doesn't just hug people. He's not that type of person. He's not personable at all.

Gordon:
What a great start! If this is the sight of things to come, well done! Thank you! (kisses her on her cheeks) God, it was good! [kisses her on her lips; the chefs were shocked and started laughing]

Holli:
I wanted to be first! (the others laugh)

Jamie Bisoulis:
(interview) Chef Ramsay, you're a little slutty.

Siobhan:
(interview) I was just so stunned, Chef Ramsay really did like that dish.

Gordon:
That was fucking amazing. [chefs laugh again] (to the chefs) Listen to me, before we go any further: this person is not who you think she is. (the lady removes her glasses) This person is... my wife. (Tana removes her disguise) Tana. (to Tana) Take that off. [chefs gave her an applause]

Jay:
(interview) Thank God it's his wife, he just like, licked her teeth.

Gordon:
(to Tana) A job well done. [kisses her again]

Jay:
(interview) What a filthy bastard!

Gordon:
(to the chefs) The point I'm trying to make is that, I don't give two fucks about how much experience you've got. What I do care about, whoever has the magic, who has it? She definitely has it. (to Tana) Good night, my darling. Thank you for making my point.

Tana:
Thank you. (to the chefs) Good luck to you all.

Gordon:
(Looking at Andrew's dish.) Now, what is that?

Andrew Forster:
Steak Tartare. (licks his lips) I guess the inspiration from that came from the fact that I've raised and butchered my own animals and I like to eat them raw. (the other chefs are shocked by this fact) (interview) When I win this competition, I'm going to buy two walk in coolers. That's all I want is two walk in coolers.

Gordon:
Do you do some form of Hell's Kitchen Hannibal Lecter?

Andrew Forster:
Maybe. (interview) Then I can start butchering animals which is what I like to do.

Gordon:
(tastes the tartare) Bland. What a shame. (to Nilka) Okay, Nilka, why did you become a chef?

Nilka:
I love cooking. That is my passion. (interview) I'm a single mom with three kids. I want to teach my kids that in order to get something in life, you have to go for it. I know I'm going to win Hell's Kitchen. I will not settle for less.

Gordon:
And this is your...

Nilka:
My sweet and spicy wings.

Gordon:
So, chicken wings?

Nilka:
Uh-huh. This is an old family favorite.

Gordon:
(bites into a wing) Fucking hell, they're hot. My lips are fucking burning!

Nilka:
I apologize, chef.

Gordon:
How much Tabasco did you put in there?

Nilka:
Uhm, half a bottle.

Gordon:
Half a bottle of Tabasco?!

Fran:
(whispering) We're screwed.

Nilka:
I apologize.

Gordon:
(drinks water and spits it out) Jesus shit!

Siobhan:
Holy shit!

Gordon:
That's going to blow your fucking asshole out! Burned my mouth. Nobody gets a point. But the men win. Congratulations, well done.

[During the eggs four way challenge. Siobhan who was to have cooked all four eggs by herself is next.]

Gordon:
Siobhan by herself. Soft boiled egg, how long did you boil it for?

Siobhan:
Um I....I just cook them every day chef so I have a very good grasp of how long they are cooked for.

Gordon:
Just answer me the question. How long did you cook it for?

Siobhan:
My teammates helped me, chef.

Gordon:
Your teammates helped you?

Siobhan:
Yes chef.

Gordon:
I asked you to work on your own. Because I put you out, singled you out thinking that you could cook fucking eggs four ways.

Siobhan:
I could and I wanted to.

Gordon:
You were working by yourself. So if you wanted to, why didn't you?

Siobhan:
Because there was pressure from my team.

Nilka:
Are you serious?

Siobhan:
Not from my team, from Autumn.

Gordon:
Oh, Christ almighty.

Autumn:
I just said, "Let me give you a hand." I can help you make one of the eggs.

Gordon:
Which one of these four eggs did you do?

Siobhan:
I did the poached egg, chef.

Gordon:
So you only poached one egg in five minutes?

Siobhan:
I did two poached eggs.

Gordon:
One simple instruction, how can I make it any more fucking clearer than that?!

Siobhan:
I should've pushed her out of the way and I'm so mad at myself that I didn't. [starts crying] I'm so mad. (interview) I should have not listened to my teammates that were forcing me to do something that I should've known it was wrong to do. And I'm just so mad at myself.

Gordon:
Listen please! You do as I say! Holy Moses!

Narrator:
Siobhan failed to follow his instructions and did not work on her own.

Gordon:
Is that what you're capable of doing?

Siobhan:
No, I'm so mad that I didn't step up and push her out of the way.

Autumn:
(interview) Siobhan got flustered and pointed fingers at me. She doesn't have a lot of backbone and under the pressure, she just doesn't know when to shut her mouth.

Gordon:
So you're only going to get credited for the ones you did yourself. So you did the poached egg yes? [tastes] That's delicious, one point.

Siobhan:
Thank you, chef.

Gordon:
Fuck off, yes?

Narrator:
There's a clear lack of communication in the red kitchen. But over on the blue side, Andrew is having a pleasant conversation...

Andrew:
Shit. Stay right there. Stay hot.

Narrator:
...with the garnishes?

Andrew:
Stay cool. Stay there. Don't shit you. [pushes Mikey aside] Go away. Go away. Go away. Go away!

Ed:
(interview) Andrew was doing great on garnishes and then all of a sudden, he flipped his lid and started talking like a maniac.

Mikey:
What do you need?

Andrew:
What do I need? I need to get out of the fucking weeds! That's what I need! What the hell do you think I need?!

Ed:
(interview) I don't know what that was.

Andrew:
Tell me how the salmon is. Please talk to me.

Benjamin:
Two and a half minutes.

Scott Leibfried:
I don't care if I get the salmon last. I want to make sure that the garnish is ready.

Andrew Forster:
Holy shit!!

Scott Leibfried:
Send the fucking plates.

Andrew:
Holy shit! Yes chef! Coming over. Coming over. Blue Jay! Come here for a second. Please start bringing these garnishes up or he will fucking kill me.

Gordon:
Mash please! Where is it? [Jay brings the mashed potatoes] Why is Jay on the fucking garnish?

Andrew:
Holy shit!! Grrrrrrrr!!

[Gordon checks on mash potatoes brought up by Andrew; finds out that it's extremely thin and runny]

Gordon:
What's he done?

Scott Leibfried:
Potato soup.

Andrew:
[to himself] Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!

Gordon:
Blue team, come here all of you, a minute. That's you as well, Salvatore! There you go, there's our mashed potato! There you fucking go!

[Andrew takes back the mashed potato, then puts some fresh mashed potato into the same batch]

Gordon:
Don't add it—Oh, no!

Andrew:
What?!

Gordon:
Come here, you idiot! Let me fucking explain why!

Andrew:
Yes, please do.

Gordon:
You've put the thick stuff in, and you add the runny to it.

Andrew:
That was a brilliant idea, chef.

Gordon:
"That's a brilliant idea, chef!" You think this is funny, don't you?

Andrew:
No, I don't think this is funny.

Gordon:
So we're serving liquid fucking mashed potato, so I expect you to put that fucking fresh stuff in a pan, and you add the liquid to it! That's not going to make any ounce of difference there, it's gone!

Andrew:
That's not true.

Jason:
(interview) Man, this guy, damn! He's just crazy!

Andrew:
And now you're going to tell me I can't cook in the sauté pan?

Jason:
(interview) Chef Ramsay, he's like the Jay-Z of fucking restaurants! You don't talk back to a man like that!

Gordon:
Come here! I'm fucking losing my temper with you. Say that again?

Andrew:
So now I've got to take it out of the sauté pan?

Gordon:
Yeah, come here you. Get out!

[Chef Ramsay ushers Andrew out of the kitchen, into the dining area]

Gordon:
Yeah, get out.

Andrew:
Yes, chef.

Gordon:
Yeah, fuck off.

[Chef Ramsay and Andrew are standing in the dining area]

Gordon:
You don't care, you've got no respect, and do you know what? You're a fucking joke to the industry.

Andrew:
Am I?

Gordon:
Yeah, that's what you are! Fuck off! [walks back into the kitchen] That guy's fucking useless.

[Andrew walks through the dining room towards the front exit; Jean-Phillipe catches up to him]

Jean-Phillipe:
What's wrong?

Andrew:
Nothing's wrong with me, JP.

Jean-Phillipe:
What are you doing here?

Andrew:
I'm walking out the damn door! What does it look like I'm doing? That man asked me to leave, and you expect me to stay here?!

Jean-Phillipe:
He's just testing you.

Andrew:
Right, and if I go back in there, I don't want to hear him yell at me again.

Jean-Phillipe:
There are, I don't know how many people which would be willing to be in your shoes now.

Andrew:
[kicks his shoes off] You know what, they can take my shoes, JP.

Jean-Phillipe:
But...

Andrew:
I don't need this. I'm walking out these doors. (interview) Chef Ramsay got pissed at me. I'm sure he looks at me as a little prick. Whatever, I don't really care what Chef Ramsay thinks of me. I'm done. Have a nice day!

[Gordon goes to Red kitchen for the Red team's entrées]

Gordon:
All of you! ALL OF YOU! (Gordon interrupts Holli) That's you ditsy!

Narrator:
For one simple question.

Gordon:
Is that the best roast chicken and is that the best fucking beef requested mid-rare? (grabs Siobhan's hand) I want you to touch it. I want you to touch it! Touch it! Touch it! Touch fucking IT! (throws spoon away)

Holli:
No.

Fran:
No, no it's not. The chicken's dry.

Siobhan:
Where's the gratin on top?

Scott Hawley:
It got pulled off. It was on there before.

Nilka:
No, it wasn't.

Gordon:
Look at me! Is that the best?!

Red Team:
No, chef!

Gordon:
Is that the best?!

Red Team:
No, chef!

Gordon:
Is that the best?!

Red team:
No, chef!

Gordon:
Do me a favour: FUCK OFF, ALL OF YOU! GET OUT!!! GET OUT!!! And don't you dare switch it off, I'll finish it! Fuck off!

Nilka:
I would love to stay an-

Gordon:
GET OUT!!! OUT! GET OUT! (throws the chicken into one of the units) GET OUT!

Nilka:
(to herself) I'm sick of this shit.

Gordon:
[follows the red team] GET OUT!

Holli:
That's really embarrassing. What happened?

Gordon:
[goes into the blue kitchen] Scott, come in here with me and I'll finish this one, please, yeah?

Scott Leibfried:
Okay.

Narrator:
Now, Chef Ramsay and his trusted sous chefs, Scott and Andi, will complete the red kitchen's dinner service.

Gordon:
Three spaghetti, one tagliatelle, yes?

Scott Leibfried:
Three spaghetti, one t- (sees the mess that the Red team left) Oh, my god! What the fuck did they do to this place?

Gordon:
Yeah, I know.

Scott Leibfried:
Wow, they're really bad, huh?

Andi:
Yep.

[Later after Scott and Andi complete the red team's service]

Narrator:
While the blue team gets out all the desserts, Chef Ramsay calls the red team back to the kitchen.

Gordon:
All your entrées are served, everything's done. Now come back and do something you're good at, fucking cleaning! At least you'll do something as a team!

Gordon:
Fucking hell. (to the chefs) Now pick it up!

Jason:
Yes, chef.

Narrator:
With Nilka gone, the kitchen jumps into action.

Gordon:
Two minutes to the window.

Benjamin:
Two minutes, chef!

Narrator:
But Nilka isn't ready to leave just yet.

[Nilka walks back into the kitchen]

Gordon:
Let's go, Scott please?... [sees Nilka] Nilka!

Nilka:
Chef...

Gordon:
No, no, no. I'm in the middle of service. Take your jacket off and get out of Hell's Kitchen. I've had enough. I-I can't do it, okay?

Nilka:
Please!

Gordon:
Nilka, don't do this to me. They're under pressure, we're under pressure. Take your jacket off and get out!

Nilka:
I want to still cook and prove myself, chef. (interview) And I won't stop, no, 'cos this is my dream, this is my fucking destiny, and this is what I want.

Gordon:
[reading off a ticket] Turbot, wellington...

Nilka:
I want to cook!

Gordon:
Lobster, turbot, wellington, beef. Let's go.

Nilka:
I don't want to leave like this, chef.

Gordon:
Oh, fuck me. Fucking hell.

Nilka:
Let me go to my station.

Ed:
(interview) Nilka wouldn't leave. She was asked to leave one time, then leave. Get the hell out of here.

[Nilka tries to push Benjamin off the fish station and get back on it herself]

Nilka:
Please? I can do this shit!

Gordon:
Turbot, lobster, wellington, beef. Nilka!

Nilka:
I want to cook!

Gordon:
GET OUT!

Nilka:
I want to cook! I can do this! Please!

Gordon:
Hey, guys, I'm telling you now, do something for me. Get her OUT OF HERE!

Benjamin:
Nilka, you got to go.

Gordon:
Benjamin!

Benjamin:
Oui chef.

Gordon:
Get her out!

[Benjamin starts to usher Nilka out of the kitchen]

Benjamin:
You got to go! When chef tells you to go, you got to go.

Jay:
Go, go, go! (interview) Hurricane Nilka just had an absolute category five meltdown.

Nilka:
Oh my fucking God. I don't want to leave.

Benjamin:
Nilka, get out!

Gordon:
GET YOUR JACKET OFF AND GET OUT!

Nilka:
This is so fucked up. I gave my whole life for this shit. (interview) It hurts to get kicked out of here like this, it really really does. I don't want to take my jacket off. (walking out) Fucking bullshit. (interview) It it - oh, it's just... it pisses me off that it went down like this, it really really did. It really really did.
