- Carly: Okay, look, we're gonna have to dive straight in 'cause it's madness out there and I don't have time to do a full talk. So, quick intros. This is our incredible Sous, Freeman. I'd be lost without him. Over here, we have the wonderful Camille on starters and garnish. Literal Earth angel, Emily, head of pastry. And one of our rising stars of the kitchen, Jamie, demi CDP. And here we have Scouse, sorry, Bolton. Meat and fish. So here we have Holly and Jake, our KPs and general life-savers. So that's our merry band.
- Carly: Alright, guys. Can you listen up? Special guests have arrived and we've had a load of walk-ins so we are full. Now, word is getting out there because of every single one of you guys. Your food, your dedication, your passion on those plates. I am so proud of you. So keep pushing forward and let's do what we do.
- Camille: So we're at a prom and my boyfriend at the time was going to have an accidental baby with my best friend. But also with two other girls he's cheating.
- Bolton: Sorry, I'm not having that. Rewind that one back a sec. He done what?
- Camille: He was going to have an accidental baby with my best friend, but he was with me.
- Bolton: An accidental baby? You say that like it's normal.
- Camille: No, Bolton, we're French. It's not a big deal, no? You guys are so uptight.
- Exec Ben: What the hell is this "lobscouse"?
- Robyn: Oh, the lobscouse. So it's got lamb, potatoes. No, beef, potatoes, onions, carrots...
- Exec Ben: Right, so it's just a stew then?
- Liam Astrid: Part of our "Northern influence" that I was talking about. "Point North."
- Exec Ben: So there's no lobster?
- Liam Astrid: No.
- Exec Ben: Oh, fuck it. In that case, I'll go for the beef, and the mussels, and the chips, please, darling.
- Liam Astrid: They didn't think we were worth the investment. They said we'd be lucky to be open in six months.
- Carly: Alright, that still gives us time.
- Liam Astrid: Does it? 'Cause the marketing idea, social media, branding, even the franchising, Carly. They're good ideas.
- Carly: No, they're not good ideas. And I'm absolutely not doing. We don't have that kind of restaurant. It's not going to work for us. I need you to keep the faith. I need you to remember what we're doing here, and what we've started.
- Liam Astrid: And I need you to start acting like a business owner because I can't put any more of my own money into this.
- Carly: Freeman, you're supposed to cover the kitchen. And not only that, I'm hearing that you've thrown a bottle across the floor at Camille and the new guy.
- Freeman: And I apologised for that.
- Carly: Apologies aren't good enough.
- Freeman: But I did not throw it *at* anybody.
- Carly: We have spoken about this. Your temper in the kitchen is not acceptable. It is not how I run my kitchen.
- Bolton: [Yelling at Johnny] Oh, fuck off. Do you think I'm an idiot, lad? Think I wasn't going to see that? Nothing, and I mean nothing, leaves this kitchen unless it's uniform. They haven't paid good money for you to fuck the food up, yeah?
- Freeman: You have no fucking idea of what I had to put up with out there. So stop giving it all that, like you always fucking do, alright?
- Bolton: Have a fucking day off, will you? "Oh look at me, I'm Freeman, I'm angry again!"
- Freeman: Do you know what? It's like working with a fucking bunch of school kids. You just fucking treat this place like it's a fucking laugh and a joke. This a fucking serious place of work! And fucking chocolate sauce on the most important table? For fuck's sake!
- [throws bottle across kitchen]
- Dean: How are you getting on? Alright? Surviving?
- Johnny Bale: I just feel like I'm getting in everyone's way, to be honest.
- Dean: Don't do that. It's just one of those nights. Everybody's stressed.
- Johnny Bale: It's just crazy being here, man. I never thought I'd work in a place like this, and I just don't want to mess it up, you know?
- Dean: Don't do that. You're not going to mess it up. Listen, they're all brilliant at what they do. Excellent. But don't be intimidated. They're idiots, all of them, except for Carly and Emily. But the rest of them, idiots!
- Dean: [Dean handling an upset guest after Kit spilled wine on the guest's white shirt] Obviously, I'm going to comp this meal. We're gonna get you some drinks. I've got a great dry cleaner.
- White Shirted Man: She needs some training or something. That's not good enough.
- Dean: They're gonna take care of it. If we can't get it cleaned, I will replace the shirt.
- Johnny Bale: You guys do the work of Andy Jones and that is kind of big.
- Dean: Yeah, aye, yeah. Maybe don't bring that up in there. It's still just a wee bit sensitive.
- Bolton: Now, I know it's your first day, but I've got to redo all this shit again 'cause you fucked it up, yeah?
- Johnny Bale: Sorry, Chef. I just...
- Bolton: Is there anything else I can get ya during service, lad? Do you want me to rub your back? Want me to rub your feet? Want me to wipe your arse for you? Do the whole fucking job for you, lad?
