- Hey, Inez. - Hi. - Did you talk to Jen? - Yeah, I just got off with her. - And? - And, uh, you know, it's terrible. What do you want me to tell you? I just wanna cook. Everything is going to work out. Half-a-dozen places tried to poach me when I was back at Gauloises. I'm trying to line up some interviews for next week. That's good. Yeah, so, listen, until this whole job thing works out, could you keep Percy for me?

And what do you? You just write shit to make... You just make shit up! It was molten! It's fucking molten! Asshole! - You're not getting to me. - OK. OK. - You're not getting to me! - OK, Carl. - He's not getting to me! - No, he's not. I know, but you're a publicist. Don't you have relationships? Isn't that what you're hired to do? To take these things off the internet? But it's out there. Even if I could persuade one site to pull down one clip, there are a dozen others from other cell phones. What should we... should we at least lawyer up and threaten legal action or something? You threatening them with lawyers builds on a story that's already getting a lot of play. And then you get another week of headlines. And then you got this food critic posting fresh blogs about you nonstop. And they're all getting picked up, and the picked-up headlines are getting picked up by each other. You know, it's absolutely unbelievable. - So... - I've never seen anything like... Wait a second... you're saying there's nothing I could do? To get the footage down? No, that lives forever. Great. Awesome. But there just might be an opportunity here. How can this possibly be an opportunity? Well, I was holding off until we spoke, but I'm fairly certain we have a good shot at 'Hell's Kitchen'. - Wait, what? - The reality show. I don't think you understand what's going on here. I'm a real chef with... - You said you needed money, right? - A job. A job, not money. I need a job, like I had. Well, your Twitter account says you've got 20,000 followers. - That's pretty damn big. - Yeah, I'm gonna cancel the account. - Don't worry. - Don't cancel it! I can get you money to mention a few products. Are you listening? I don't wanna get involved with any of that. - I wanna cook food. - You got two choices. You can either lean into it and work it for all it's worth... Like Honey Boo Boo. I don't want that. You know how much she pulls down? Or her mother? I don't care what she makes. Get to your point. Or go underground and wait till the storm passes. You got two choices. I thought this shit lives forever online. It does, but there's so much news out there and it's so fast and there's so much white noise, nobody remembers anything. OK, thank you for taking the time and walking me through everything. It was very illuminating. Oh, you're hanging up? OK, listen. I want you to call any time. I'm right here. If you can't get me, I'm on a cell phone and I've got a pager. - OK. Thank you, and thank Inez for me. - No, thank you. - And what about 'Hell's Kitchen'? - What about it? - You still want me to pursue it, right? - No, I don't want you to. - OK, I won't call 'em, but I'll email. - Are you not listening to... I'm gonna go, OK? I got a call coming in. OK. Alright. I'll tell you how 'Hell's Kitchen' goes.

What sacrifices I make to make you happy and then you just smugly just fucking shit on my shit? OK. - It hurts! - Yes. It fucking hurts when you write that shit! - It hurt you. - It does. It does. He was... He thought you were gonna close his fucking restaurant down! You asshole!

To make people laugh. You know how hard I work for this shit? Do you know how hard my whole staff works?

Is he here? Is the fucker still here? - Oh, fuck. - Let's go into the back of the house. I just wanna say one thing. I just wanna say one thing. Just one thing. Let's go to the kitchen. Stop it. Stop it for a second! Let's just... I've been waiting to talk to this prick for a long time. - OK. - I am not cloying. I am not needy. I don't care what you think. You're not getting to me. I'm not needy!

You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and you set it in the ramekin so that as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten! OK. OK. It's fucking molten, see? Its fucking molten, you asshole!

Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the centre molten.

It might be good. That's where it all happened for you. That's where Percy was born, that's where you got your first job as a chef. Maybe it will just, like, clear your mind out. You think Percy would be OK with that? Percy would love it.

Hey, Dad. I understand if we can't go to New Orleans. Oh, man, thank you so much for saying that. Just Daddy's so busy with work right now. You're the best. Maybe some other time. Yes, we will, for sure. Thank you.

OK. What do you want me to do? You know that the nannies can't get on the plane. So why don't you come with us and you take care of him while I work?

I'll tell him. Ah, let me... let me talk to him. Put him on.
