- Let's get something straight. - Yeah. You don't fucking talk to my staff like that. I talk to my staff. That side of the pass is you, this side is me. That was the arrangement when you hired me. OK, now will you listen to me for a minute? Carl, I get ideas. Sometimes my ideas work. I really don't care what magazine said that you're the next big thing. The fact is, you work for me, in my restaurant, right? I've had chefs before you in this kitchen. - I'll have chefs after you. OK? - Alright, good talk. - Let me get back to work. - You know who's coming tonight. We're being reviewed by the most important critic in the city. - Yes. I'm aware. - His online blog was sold to AOL... - For $10 million. - That's right. - You knew that? - Yes, I know. - OK. - He's a big deal. - That's why I wanna cook a good menu. - You wanna cook a good menu? - I wanna cook him some good food. - Yeah. Well, then... And our place is in a fucking creative rut. - In a rut? - In a creative rut. You do know we're doing better than any place in the neighbourhood? I'm not talking about how much money we're making, I'm talking about creatively... the food that we're serving. We've served the same food for five years. Remember what happened when you put guts on the menu? Are you talking about my sweetbreads? Is that what you mean? Yeah. When you put that artsy shit on the menu, people don't like it. Not one person ordered your sweetbreads. Please listen to me. I sank a fortune into the remodel to get you the French cooking top, whatever it is, that tabletop. - French cooking suite. - Right. Not every chef gets that. You know why you get it? - I appreciate it. - Do you know why? Because you deserve it. See, you don't know that. But I know it. You deserve it. So be smart just for tonight. Look, if you bought Stones tickets and Jagger didn't play 'Satisfaction', how would you feel? Would you be happy? - No. - No! You'd burn the place to the fucking ground.
