Gotta still hit the farmers' market. - What time is it? - 10:00-ish. - It's 10:00? - Mm-hm. I gotta pick up the kid. Where's Tony? Tony and I were out late last night. But don't worry, he's gonna be here. - You got this? - Yes. He's not gonna flake. Neither am I.

Yes? How can I help you? Isn't this, um... Wasn't this on the menu last time I... I... I visited? I believe it was. I was under the impression that tonight was gonna somehow be... be different, more of an event. I understand. Is there something we can do to make you more comfortable? Um... could I actually... Could I speak with the chef? With Chef Casper? I have a wonderful '09 that I just opened to let breathe. - Um... - If I may? The last time I was in Napa, at the vineyard, they shipped me this bottle as a gift, and I've just been waiting for the right occasion. That... that's very generous of you. Is Chef Casper here? Unfortunately, he was called away.

Come here. I miss you. Give me a kiss. - Hi. - Hi. So my publicist said that she can talk to you. - Why don't you talk to her? - About what? - About Twitter? - Everybody's reading what you wrote. - I don't think you get it. - Get what? Let's call her. Go inside with me and we'll call her.

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.

Oh, dude. Oh, you're everywhere. - You saw it? - Ohh! - It's bad. How bad is it? - You saw it? You saw it? - I saw it. It's everywhere. - It's terrible. - Is it bad? - You're never gonna work again. I am, though. No, seriously, there are people... there are people who are calling me. - Dude. Oh, great. I'm glad to hear that. - Yes. Yes. I knew you would have something bigger than this. - You don't care about coming back here. - Yeah. So you came back to tell me you got me a gig? 'Cause I'll leave Gauloises like that, baby. No. Trust me, the first phone call as soon as something becomes real. - Don't leave me behind again. - I will not. - Don't ever do that again. - Don't hit me. - This guy. - Please don't hit me. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I was on the spot, bro. I had been drinking that day. I... I... I didn't know what to do. - I'm a pussy, basically. I'm sorry. - It's OK. It's over. - I vouch for that. - It's fine. What are you gonna do? - It's a big opport... - But then they put you on YouTube. And I felt so responsible for that shit. - That shit was funny, by the way. - What was funny about it? - It's not funny for me. - Just that everybody I know saw it. - I know, I know. - I kinda felt famous by knowing you. Is it a little bit funny? Like... Like, is it... they're laughing at me or with me? A little bit of both. They're laughing with you and at you at the same time. - It's so embarrassing. - Oh, it is terrible. It is so bad. But it's funny too at the same time. It makes you kind of likeable in a weird way. Yeah. That guy deserved it. Everybody knows that guy deserved it. - But, seriously, I'm sorry. - It's alright. You know, I'm gonna land on my feet. - Oh, you will. - Yeah, good. I know. - I'll get my next gig. - I'll be there with you. - Everything will be fine. - I'm your sous-chef now and forever. You're not my sous-chef anymore. You are chef de cuisine. - But I wouldn't even be there... - It doesn't matter. Riva's right about one thing. You are ready to run your own kitchen. So don't blow it. It's a big opportunity for you. - To Tony's big new opportunity. - To Tony's big opportunity. - To chef de cuisine. - I don't like how it happened. - But I'm happy it happened. OK? - Two words, man. You guys. I love you fucking guys.

Know what a meme is? I'm a meme. I'm a fucking meme. Carl, you need to take a break. I've been on a break. I've had too much of a break. - No, you need a real break. - I need to work. - I need to get back into a kitchen. - You don't. Carl... I wish I never... I should've cooked the shit he wanted me to cook. You gonna go work for another Riva in some other restaurant? You've been miserable here as long as I've known you, Carl. - That's not true. We've had a blast. - Yes, we've had a blast. And now it's time for you to go.

- 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?
